Vaxxed: The People’s Truth
Few stories are more compelling than parents talking about the death of their child. Those stories in the above movie, Vaxxed: The People’s Truth, captivate viewers everywhere.
“This was different than the first movie,” said Destiny Avila. “It was heart-wrenching because it was the parents’ stories.” Avila is the mother of a 10-year-old boy whom she describes as vaccine-injured. She said that two days after her son received his pre-kindergarten vaccines, he started having seizures, which are still uncontrolled. She and her husband, Dominic, attended the local screening of the movie with their 3-month-old son, whom they are not vaccinating.
Vaxxed II shows many parents sharing stories, similar or scarier than the Avilas, about their children with severe physical and developmental disabilities or death that they attributed to the vaccines. The stories are deeply moving.
The film is the follow-up to Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe, the controversial movie released in 2016, which pharmaceutical companies deemed anti-vaccine propaganda. The first movie was directed by Andrew Wakefield and alleges that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) covered up a study proving a link between the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.
Who is Andrew Wakefield?
Wakefield is a British physician who published the original study stating that MMR vaccine caused autism. The paper was retracted because the data was deemed to be fraudulent. (Of course it was… the pharmaceutical companies are the ones testing the data. They aren’t going to say that the data is true when they make so much money from vaccines, are they?) Unfortunately, Wakefield’s medical license was revoked.
Dr Wakefield appears in the film above, Vaxxed II, as well as appearing in Vaxxed I.
Mothers’ Experiences
“I educated myself and vaccines are not worth the risk,” says Rachel Williams, a mother of two unvaccinated boys, ages 9 and 11. She and Jessica Van Hille-Hart, who also has two unvaccinated teen boys, have an informal local group in their area where they discuss the dangers of vaccines.
The film’s executive producer, Polly Tommey, has an adult son with autism whom she describes as vaccine-injured due to the MMR vaccine when he was 13 months old.
A recurring theme from parents in the movie was they weren’t informed that vaccines could have risks. For nearly three decades, Vaccine Information Sheets are required by law to be given to vaccine recipients. Like all medications, no vaccine is risk-free.
Vaccine Injury Compensation
However, nationwide throughout the US alone, there was about one injury claim for every 1 million doses. There were 3.4 billion doses of adult and pediatric vaccines distributed from 2006 through 2017. The U.S. federal government maintains the database as part of Vaccine Injury Compensation court, which adjudicates injury claims.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is an executive producer of this docu-commentary. He speaks in the film about the risks of vaccines. Robert has done thorough research into the various ingredients in the vaccines, despite not having a medical background.
The movie includes physicians and nurses who describe their perception of the risks of vaccines. Also, the diseases that they are meant to prevent. One doctor describes measles as a rash, a cough and a cold that children get over in a few days. She then contrasts measles with autism, a lifelong devastating affliction.
