What a relief that Dr. Humphries has compiled this information in one place. This book has confirmed my original instinct not to vaccinate and has removed my social anxiety about perhaps making the wrong choice for my child or society by not vaccinating. The stigma of not going with the "herd mentality" no longer bothers me because I feel very confident that the choice I am making is not actually compromising "herd immunity."
While the research in this book is thorough and well done, the key thing that this book brings home for me is the importance of proper nutrition in immunity. Personally, I think that pro-vaccers have an obligation to the herd to take care of their nutrition - but that's an ongoing lifestyle choice that requires personal attention and empowerment.
Overall, I think there is a cultural surge we can observe that is undeniably shifting away from specialized, high-tech reengineering of any kind - whether it is reengineering of our immune system, reengineering of our food, reengineering of our weather patterns, or reeengineering of the global economy through trade agreements. All of these forms of monopoly and monoculture centralize power and debase the natural value and intelligence of the systems of balance that keep our bodies, planet, and communities healthy.
All data aside, the vaccine debate seems to come down to fundamentally different worldviews. In my worldview, plants and food are medicine, self-care and preventive medicine are always the first rather than the last priority, and western medicine has a place in it all as an absolute last resort. Diversity of viewpoint and the ability to share these perspectives in a way that is not antagonistic is the sign of an intelligent culture.
