Unvaccinated: Why growing numbers of parents are choosing natural immunity for their children

I totally agree with the first review. I really think their are few anti-vaxxers. We are ex-vaxxers. We have seen the damage in ourselves or talked to parents whose children have been vaccine damaged. I wish there had been references, but I don't think this was the reason for the book. It took me an hour to read and I knew that what Forrest said is true because I have researched it. I is easy to read and plants a seed of doubt which when people start researching, they go down the rabbit hole. Great job Forrest. Loved your Crooked book. Moth in the Iron Lung is pretty heavy. You are spreading awareness and I appreciate that. From what we've heard from the recent ICAN and JFK, Jr. lawsuit....there is no one who is seriously looking at the safety of our childhood vaccine schedule. Too much money involved. Sad, but I think ultimately true.

Short, simple reasons why there are "anti-vaxxers" (who are actually ex-vaxxers.) I'll never forget the day 14 years ago when I realized vaccines were making my babies sick. I don't have any tears left. It's a horrible awakening that humans are harming our babes but it's true. As Forrest says, the doctors are taught the schedule and it's only human nature to point towards something other than what they did...they have one poor tool to prevent disease (with side effects lasting a lifetime) and no tools to help once the immune system is destroyed. White coats with huge egos will refuse to their last breath they are at fault.

There is so much to be said about the actual safety and efficacy of vaccines that condensing the key details into such a short book (it takes less than an hour to read) is no mean feat - and this book does a really good job of planting the right seeds that will hopefully get more parents to question what they are being told by the media and medical profession about this controversial topic.If I had one criticism, it would be that the book would have more credibility if references were included to some of the statements made, but at the same time, I appreciate that the author wanted to keep the book short and easy to read. And to be fair, many of the additional details that back up what the author says are available in some of the resources he recommends.If your mind is completely closed to the idea of vaccines being neither as safe nor as effective are you've been told, then this book may not be of any use to you, but for everybody else, maybe people who wonder why so many more children these days seem to have autoimmune diseases, neuro-developmental problems, and other health issues, then I would highly recommend it - you have very little to lose (the book is affordable and won't take long to read) and the potential for great benefits.

I could not recommend this book more! Its a great start to learning about vaccines. Its easy to read (and quick, only took me a couple hours, even with kids interruptions) and is well sourced and explained. My son is vaccine injured and I'm far down the path of learning the truth about vaccines but I have always loved the way Forrest Maready explains everything, so I couldn't pass this up! Happy to have this in my collection of books 😊

I am so grateful to have read this book. All of my doubts have subsided. I stopped vaccines with my son when he was 6 months. The way she describes her journey is similar to the way I was feeling. I was reading so many documents trying to justify why I feel so wrong about giving my infant vaccines. Thank you so much for telling my story and I’m sure so many other parents. It’s nice to know that we aren’t alone in these feelings and that we aren’t wrong to trust our instincts!

This is a short, light read, packed with imperative information. A perfect gift for parents to be. I wish someone would have handed me a copy of this book before my kids were born. Thanks Forrest! -Rachel Williams

Excellent conversation starter I plan to give my friends and family that are not as skeptical of vaccines as I am. Maready speaks to those who are not “antivaxers” and he shares some of the reasons why more and more people are becoming “antivaxers.” Easy to read, this is a great starter book to begin your own vaccine safety research.

I highly recommend this book for anyone starting to question vaccines or to give as a gift to new parents. Very easy, quick read! My only complaint would be that I really dislike the term "anti-vaxxer", mostly because you will find that most are "ex-vaxxers" due to something bad happening to them or a loved one that was caused by vaccines.

The author takes you through the stages of how he initially believed anybody not wishing to vaccinate their child was an idiot but after doing his own research into this area he changed his stance and wishes to help educate the rest of the population with regards to vaccines, what damage they can do, why they were created and are they actually needed.I really enjoyed reading this book, I found it very informative, it didn't go over my head & I didn't find that any agenda was being pushed, the information he was giving spoke for itself with regards to vaccines and I found myself thinking of so many people that I know of just within my own immediate family at all stages in life who have suffered healthwise because of vaccines.This book is divided into small easily digestible chapters where each chapter is about 2 to 4 pages long in length… There is no main contents page and so no links to any of the chapters within this book so I'm going to list them here:Unvaccinated?What is an anti-vaxxer?The one chartMeaslesWhat about polio?Too many shots?What disease do you fear?UnnaturalIngredientsSafetyLawsuitsHerd ImmunityBut doctors!Closing thoughtsFor anybody who doesn't know very much about vaccines this book contains a little bit of everything that anyone can dip into. Personally I found it to be an honest, open, jargon free & very informative book on vaccines written by a member of the public for the rest of the public & it's a good place to start for somebody who wants to find out more about vaccines…

"Unvaccinated" is a very readable summary of the arguments for and against vaccination. It is a short book, and presents the salient points without going into unnecessary detail - but adds a list of resources for those who want that detail. The book comes down in favour of not vaccinating, pointing out that having a dubious good stops us from getting the best when it comes to disease immunity.

Brilliantly written and well supported with facts by a man who is clearly passionate about this subject and with good reason, because the revelations in this book should be of concern to all parents!I was already apprehensive about vaccinations but truly had no idea just how irresponsible and misleading the entire process really is, and I will be reading the authors other books on the subject with great interest.Pharmaceutical companies and our Governments are behaving disgracefully all in the pursuit of profit, and our Doctors appear to lack sufficient knowledge of vaccines in order to properly protect our health and best interests in the way we would hope. In the year 2020 with all the talk of a need for a vaccine, this is must-read material!

Whether or not to vaccinate your child is a very emotive subject. But one size does not fit all and vaccine damage & death does occur. I would urge all parents to fully research the subject before deciding. A robust, natural immune system should be a parents ultimate goal.

I bought this book for my husband as our opinions on the current child vaccination differ. This book is so easy to read. It took me one evening. All the main topics are covered. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is keen to learn about the vaccines.
