Publisher's Summary

In the late 1800s, a new disease arrived in North America from Europe and began to claim the lives of children everywhere. Though most today have never even heard of this illness, it would routinely kill over 10,000 children in a single year - more than the polio might take in an entire decade. After much trial and tribulation, a shot was developed that helped both those already afflicted with the illness, and those who might one day become infected. But the shot was dangerous, and many parents refused it for their children.  

In 1932, a safer version of the shot was developed, but contained a new ingredient never before tried on humans. Due to aggressive immunization campaigns, children all over the country began to receive this shot. Within a year, a new mental disorder - unknown to even the most knowledgeable child psychologists in the country - began to appear. It affected toddlers, and mostly boys. Children were losing the ability to speak and would take little interest in any other humans - even their parents. The Autism Vaccine chronicles the story of two of these children - one known throughout the world, the other completely unknown until recently - and why modern medicine’s attempts to explain what happened to them have so far come up short.

Every mother father and prospective parent must read this book

It is our own ignorance and lack of willingness to educate ourselves and question authority that turns us into mindless sheep, a state in which as parents leaves us asleep at the wheel, too often costs many of our own kids their chance to lead normal productive lives… now there is no excuse for any parents ignorance on the issue of vaccines and autism, read this book learn open your eyes, understand the reality of what’s being perpetrated and then join the most important fight our world has seen since World War Two!!

Absolutely brilliant and informative

This book is easy to listen to and is so jam packed full of important research and scientific grounding that I have no hesitation recommending it to everyone and anyone at all. Regardless of your stance on vaccines, you will be more informed and can better understand the motivations behind vaccine awareness campaigns. Forrest is easy to listen to and has done a great deal of research here to bring this very well formed book to us. THANK YOU.

Concise historical recollection

This book was written with significant historical reseach of the literature, and medical documentation by key physicians throughout the historical record that observed, worked with, examinated and thoroughly described the particulars of the autism affected persons and populations.

Great effort appears to have gone into writing a captivating, thought provoking, intellectually curious, and unbiased account.

A must read for all.
