Must See Movie...
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I have seen the film and I found it to be dangerous and harmful to children and families. What this film is doing is nothing but spreading misinformation about vaccaines and autism. I feel the people are trying to make the Autism Community look like we are vaccaine damaged individual. Many people with Autism including myself, feel that these people are a bunch of hypocrites.
As someone who has followed the story of Andrew Wakefield for almost all of the 20 years since his famous paid-to-lie "research", I honestly don't know why he doesn't just quit already. The man has no ethics whatsoever, and with this movie he is attempting to imply a cover up by the CDC. Even I am willing to believe that the CDC is by no means a perfect entity, but it wasn't the CDC that pulled Wakefield's research from the British Medical Journal. Nor did the CDC revoke Wakefield's medical license. These acts were done by the BMJ and the General Medical Council in the UK. Since then, Wakefield has purportedly been practicing some kind of quackery in the US without a license. The BMJ went on record as saying, ""It's one thing to have a bad study, a study full of error, and for the authors then to admit that they made errors. But in this case, we have a very different picture of what seems to be a deliberate attempt to create an impression that there was a link by falsifying the data." For the reader who doesn't know the facts, it was alleged that Wakefield's data was edited extensively in order to secure funding from a law firm that wished to create a class-action suite against vaccine makers.This movie claims that the 2004 CDC study group was reduced intentionally to guarantee that the MMR vaccine was proven safe. This allegation is laughable considering that it was Wakefield whose study comprise of an extremely small number of individuals. Meanwhile, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2015, found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. The study involved 96,000 children.Early on the movie, an assertion is made over the "steep rise" in autism cases since the 1990s. The cause of autism is still considered to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The apparent rise has been found to be from several factors, including improved diagnosis and something as mundane as a change in the questionnaire used by the CDC to diagnose autism.If anything, Wakefield should be thankful that the medical profession closed ranks to protect him as they did. They should have publicly burned his reputation back in 2001. Instead, he is free to make horror movies and continue in a vain attempt to clear his name. Andrew, dear, just give it up. The jig is up.
Documentaries are notoriously bias, often have agendas and are best watched with a comparable documentary from the opposite side of the argument. Some documentaries though are just plain ludicrous in their subject matter and this is one of them.Promoting a message like this is legitimately dangerous and simply should not have been allowed. The message is as rational and as educated as advising people that prayer is a better choice for ailments than actual medical care. There are people out there who will believe this nonsense and their children will suffer and by suffer I mean very likely die! I often question why people cling to conspiracy theories. My belief is a combination of paranoia and a desperate need for life to be that little bit more exciting than it actually is.Vaccines have saved countless lives, eradicated ailments and do not have any connection at all to autism.The earth isn't 6000yrs old, the LGBT community have no "Gay agenda", chemtrails aren't a thing, the planet isn't flat, Area 51 contains no alien spacecraft and evolution is proved. Pull your collective heads out of your collective rears and don't put your children at risk over this ridiculous hysteria.
Watch it before it is banned..Factual story about greed of some who decide for all of us. And how that greed and selfishness is put above the human live.Will definitely make you think about the big 'outbreaks' of viruses and diseases shown in daily news again...
