Misleading or not. Dr. W. swims against the flow of sea. Pity guy. On the other hand, when money and politics are involved in medicine, stronger wins. Dr. W., you are so lonely.

After viewing the movie, "VAXXED," I started researching vaccines, vaccine injuries, VAERS reports, and holistic doctors who treat autism. I am a new grandmother of a bi-racial baby boy, so my concerns about the increased incidence of autism among African American male children who receive the MMR on schedule have motivated me to pouring hours of reading about vaccines. I had no idea how the vaccine schedule had increased until I had a grandson. And with states legislating mandated vaccines for children, that is a total violation of civil and personal liberty. It also reveals that there is an agenda when vaccines are forced upon the populace. I'm convinced that history will prove Dr. Wakefield a hero who sacrificed his livelihood and reputation for the vaccine-injured children and their families. The corrupt corporations and federal agencies have money and power, but the truth transcends money and will prevail. This movie is a glimpse into Dr. Wakefield's personal life and the toll this travesty has taken upon his family. I love his wife--she is feisty, loyal, and protective of her husband and children. I pray that every resource he needs for the truth to come out would become available to him. This is so much bigger than Dr. Wakefield--this is for every child. He and his family are in my prayers.
