Review of Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe (2016) by Leigh W — 31 May 2016

MUST SEE!!!

This film - about a Whisleblower from the CDC - is a must see for every person who has children, grandchildren, nieces/nephews, works in education/childcare, has ever received a vaccine or pays taxes. A senior scientist with the CDC has come forward to admit that he and his coworkers sliced & diced study data when they discovered that the MMR vaccine is causally associated with Autism in certain children. Rather than share the study results in an upfront way, they threw certain data out and reworked the numbers to make it appear there was no link when their clearly was. The film does a beautiful job of intertwining his words (in his own voice - no less) with the stories of a handful of affected families and the facts from some brilliant experts in the field of Autism. Over a million children each year are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The movie does a nice job showing that not all cases of Autism look like "Rainman"; many children cannot communicate, are in debilitating pain every day and will never be independent. As this tsunami of children become adults, the astronomical cost of their disabilities will hit tax payers in an unimaginable way.

The documentary is a MUST SEE for everyone who has ever trusted the CDC to protect the health of Americans. If it is common practice for CDC scientists to lie about study results in this case - deceiving both parents and doctors, about what else has the CDC been dishonest with us? Unfortunately, we will never know unless other whistleblowers come forward like the one in this film! Take some tissues, take some friends and see this film as soon as it shows in a theater near you.
