Absolutely LOVE the 'vaccine book' by Dr Sears. it is so fantastic and really informative and doesnt necessarily lean either way in the 'vax debate' per say (in that he agrees that vaccination can and does have a place but also advocates for informed consent and decision making (whether you follow the schedule or not).

It has been so so wonderful for our family to read: it covers so much from how the vaccines are made, to what are the side-effects and how common/rare. he even discusses the ethical issues that might be present (ie the use of human and animal tissue - ie the breeding of cow fetuses to create the live components of the MMR vaccine for example and so on). But seriously I feel that it is done without judgement. it is just information and as a medical professional he offers some opinion: ie. if a family has a history of specific illness/ailments (like asthma or such what) and what vaccines are then not medically recommended. he also goes into detail for people that might have compromised immunes through medication and how and when that it might be deemed not safe to vaccinate.

really quite thorough but done in a straightforward and quite easy read.
