Vaccine Rights, Part 1
August 28, 2018
Alan Phillips, Esq., is a North Carolina attorney who went to law school expressly to represent the rights of individuals to exercise freedom of choice for immunizations. He is America’s foremost vaccine rights attorney. He is the author of the e-book, "The Authoritative Guide to Vaccine Rights." What types of vaccine exemptions exist? Why should citizens be given a choice about vaccines that are said to protect the public good by conferring “herd immunity”? Phillips himself is being targeted by the North Carolina bar for upholding clients’ legal prerogative to question vaccine orthodoxy. Isn’t it all about freedom of choice in healthcare?

A Comprehensive Critique of Vaccines, Part 1
July 31, 2018
Dr. Thomas Cowan, author of "Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness," offers a comprehensive critique of vaccines. According to Dr. Cowan, they’ve not conclusively been demonstrated to be effective, and even if they confer short-term protection, it’s at the cost of long-term deleterious consequences to the immune system. Additionally, the toxins they unnaturally introduce as adjuvants—aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, polysorbate—cause indelible harm. The average child receives 69 immunization shots by age 18; Dr. Cowan distinguishes between natural and artificially acquired immunity; What are the diseases whose incidence has soared in the wake of widespread immunization? Why is there such passionate disagreement among vaccine advocates vs. “anti-vaxxers”? Is there a way to mitigate the harm caused by vaccines by taking them selectively or scheduling them differently? What about the argument that universal vaccination confers “herd immunity”? How are vaccine manufacturers shielded from liability for vaccine injuries? What’s wrong with the science that denies a connection between vaccines and autism? What about the campaign to get grandparents to seek booster shots to safeguard their grandkids?
