The Autism Vaccine: The Story of Modern Medicine's Greatest Tragedy

By: Forrest Maready

Narrated by: Forrest Maready

In the late 1800s, a new disease arrived in North America from Europe and began to claim the lives of children everywhere. Though most today have never even heard of this illness, it would routinely kill over 10,000 children in a single year - more than the polio might take in an entire decade. After much trial and tribulation, a shot was developed that helped both those already afflicted with the illness, and those who might one day become infected. But the shot was dangerous, and many parents refused it for their children.

In 1932, a safer version of the shot was developed, but contained a new ingredient never before tried on humans. Due to aggressive immunization campaigns, children all over the country began to receive this shot. Within a year, a new mental disorder - unknown to even the most knowledgeable child psychologists in the country - began to appear. It affected toddlers, and mostly boys. Children were losing the ability to speak and would take little interest in any other humans - even their parents. The Autism Vaccine chronicles the story of two of these children - one known throughout the world, the other completely unknown until recently - and why modern medicine’s attempts to explain what happened to them have so far come up short.

Crucial information at hand

Beautifully written, the information, the transitions, the connections, everything was well done. This book will forever be one of the first books every expecting parent and pediatrician should read.

Informative research!

Forrest Maready does not disappoint into the research into the diseases and disorders that have crippled our human race. As a parent of a beautiful child with autism; I have always known in my heart that he was harmed by the very people we put the most trust in; doctor's. If the reader has ever doubted that vaccines are "good" for you, this will open you eyes.

In depth dive into the history of vaccination

Everyone should read this book. With the constant barrage of propaganda at the hands of the pharmaceutical industry and our governments, it's refreshing to see someone address the hard questions that we seem to be forbidden to ask.

Excellent book with novel research

I've read and or listened to dozens of books on Vaccination. It's easy to tell when someone has spent considerable time researching a topic and didn't show up with a paid agenda. I especially enjoyed his coverage of Quintland and the history of autism diagnosis. The binary between profound autism and Asperger's and how it could be related to whether you're right or left-handed. It was interesting to learn that the hormonal difference between the sexes until age 10 is nominal. However, the stress response is very different between males and females, and the mobilization of white blood cells in males enduring prolonged stress may explain the considerably skewed male-to-female ratio in autism. I would have appreciated more coverage of mercury and how, when mercury was removed, a different neurotoxin was added. They were able to say "Look, we removed the mercury, and there's still autism", pretending that meant they weren't simply causing it with something else. Also, they never entirely removed mercury, if it is below a threshold they don't have to put it in the ingredient list. I will be reading more of Forest's books.

Great Historical perspective

Great to look at the History of how we got to where we are with vaccines and aluminum toxicity. Tells the story very clearly. I highly recommend this book.
