No Vaccines for Me!

Book Cover & Preview Text
Babies and kids don’t always need shots. Many doctors and nurses know this now, but there are still some who will try to give these shots to all people of all ages. They sometimes try to give them to children in school. These shots are called vaccinations (vax-sin-nay-shuns). Vaccinations can be given as a shot, a liquid to take in your mouth, or as a spray mist up your nose.

About the Book
Although I am considered an advocate for people with autism and their families, this is not an autism book. Autism probably has different causes, and I don't believe all people with autism are vaccine-injured. I do believe that vaccines cause autism and perhaps affect the level of severity of the medical and neurological symptoms one with autism might experience. This prompted me to do my own research into what I found to be the horrors of vaccines, which far surpass one medical diagnosis or condition. I decided to write No Vaccines for Me! because, although many books and Web sites about vaccine dangers and side effects are available for parents, I could not find any resources for a younger audience. There were no family books available for parents to use to educate their children. Thus, I wrote No Vaccines for Me! as a family book and not as a children's book. It is intended as a resource for like-minded parents who choose not to vaccinate and who wish to make informed decisions about vaccinations, nutrition, and overall health. It is not intended to be controversial, although it may be viewed as such. This book is an interactive reading tool intended to facilitate dialogue between parents and children and to inspire them to develop a health and wellness plan. It is written to educate families about informed consent, to explain their right to refuse vaccines, and to assist them with becoming more confident in discussing and making their own health care decisions. My hope and expectation are that parents
