Review: #1 book for ALL parents - unbiased vaccine education - As a new mom, this book was referred to me by a nurse practitioner (degree from Vanderbilt). This book is a must for parents. It is non biased, not pro or against vaccines by a California pediatrician. It provides the key information on each vaccine: ingredients, what decade it was approved, side effects, history, pros and cons. It explains the VAERS reporting system, Vaccine Adverse Reaction Event Reporting government data. Important information on vaccine reactions in children. The book also discusses the risks of each disease per child’s age. Discusses what decisions could put your child at lower risk till age 2 (breastfeeding, one shot at a time to track side effects, home care vs day care settings…). Information on delayed, alternative or selective vaccine schedules is very helpful. We found delayed schedules very informative. It the is basic information parents should use in their child’s care plans. If you don’t know, you don’t know.
Review: Highly recommend! - I really enjoyed this book and how it was laid out. Easy to follow and gave great, evidenced based information. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straightforward, fact-based, unbiased guide
*by N***D on April 12, 2013*

I bought this book wanting to get the anti-vaccine side of the argument, because I was told this book had references to real white-paper studies and not just the endless string of tear-jerking but scientifically meaningless anecdotal stories that you see on TV and read about online. I was very impressed with and surprised by this book. It was not anti-vaccine at all, it simply described each vaccine and each ingredient and presented the most current scientific safety study findings on each, along with the corresponding risks of each disease. Drawing no conclusions, Dr. Sears challenges each parent to make their own decision about each vaccine's use and schedule one at a time, with specific advice for various scenarios (breast-fed at home vs 5 days/week in daycare, for example). My wife and I were pleased to find ourselves intuitively designing our own custom vaccine schedule as we read through the book, custom tailored for our unique situation. After reading, we choose to almost fully vaccinate, but on a schedule we were comfortable with and against a set of risks that we now understand very well and can defend to anyone based on scientific evidence. All facts in the book are backed up with specific white-papers which Dr. Sears annotates as you go through the book, so you can cross-reference the research yourself (some vaccines intrigued me more than others). This is the only resource (including FDA and CDC) that we have found so far that provides a balanced, fair-minded, non-dogmatic approach to the broad topic of vaccination. The reality is made clear: each vaccine is an individual medical treatment, not a component in a holy war. This book if not for parents who are trying to find a new religion, overthrow the government; instead, it's for parents who prefer to proactively make medical decisions based on white papers they have read and understood (e.g. Engineers). If you don't like making your own spreadsheets, at the end of the book Dr. Sears describes the 4-5 categories most people find themselves in after reading (from fully vaccinating on CDC schedule all the way to no vaccinations at all), and provides specific recommended plans for each category of parent. But don't be lazy; make your own plan as you go. If you want, you can then compare you plan to the various plans Dr. Sears recommends, and if you can't justify why your plan is different than one of the recommended ones, do more research until you can explain those differences confidently. Our plan is slightly different than any recommended in this book, but this book gave us the tools we needed to form our plan with confidence that it is optimal for our daughter.
