Will My New Book Be Censored Too?

The real controversy is the cover-up, not the blacklisted documentary Vaxxed
​


​The CDC, WHO, and those whose livelihoods are linked to vaccines, vaccine research, vaccine promotion, and maintaining the status quo about vaccines are doing everything they can to censor the truth.  

But legitimate concerns about the safety of our current vaccine schedule are surfacing, in spite of the censorship.

​You may not be aware that a senior researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, William Thompson, Ph.D., has publicly admitted that the CDC falsified data about the link between autism and vaccines in African American boys. The press release posted on his lawyers’ website has since been taken down. But it’s still out there. As is William Thompson’s private apology to one medical doctor and research scientist whose career was ended and whose reputation was destroyed.

 You also may not know that, while pro-vaccine fanatics insist there is “no proof” that vaccines are linked to autism, hundreds of thousands of parents whose children have autism report watching their children’s health deteriorate after a round of vaccines. Many tell their stories here.

​If you’ve had the luxury of not experiencing firsthand the negative health consequences of over-vaccination, you are very lucky.
 
But, for whatever reason, a growing number of children in America are being adversely affected by vaccines.

​​We are stepping closer to debunking the oft-repeated statement that “vaccines are safe and effective.”
 
Full disclosure: I give vaccines in my office every day.
 
I am an advocate of vaccines.
 
But I am not afraid to admit what so many doctors already know but are afraid to talk about: not all vaccines are safe for all children.
 
And some of the vaccines being recommended by the CDC are, frankly, ridiculous.

​ A new documentary film tells the story of the CDC’s cover-up, exposing how facts were being deliberately destroyed and hidden by the CDC, "Vaxxed: From Cover up to Catastrophe." It was slated to be aired—along with a post-film discussion—at the Tribeca Film Festival, co-founded by legendary actor Robert De Niro. 

De Niro originally defended his decision to screen the film, explaining: 

​“Grace and I have a child with autism, and we believe it is critical that all of the issues surrounding the causes of autism be openly discussed and examined. In the 15 years since the Tribeca Film Festival was founded, I have never asked for a film to be screened or gotten involved in the programming. However this is very personal to me and my family and I want there to be a discussion, which is why we will be screening VAXXED.”

But the Tribeca Film Festival has caved under pressure and canceled the screening. 

​In the face of this blatant and disappointing censorship, the kind we’ve seen before, what do we do?
 
A) Put our fingers in our ears and cry, “La, la, la”?
 
B) Do everything we can to make sure every parent, doctor, educator, and person in this country sees the movie?
 
I choose B.

​I am a Dartmouth-trained board-certified pediatrician with 30 years of experience. I have over 11,000 patients in my practice. I have been exhaustively researching the link between vaccines and autism.
 
Unfortunately I cannot tell you that all vaccines are safe all the time. 

What I can tell you is that I have grave and evidence-based concerns about America’s overly aggressive and irrational vaccine schedule. 

​“But the science is clear: vaccines don’t cause autism. #VaccinesWork.”
 
Right?
 
No.

​There are literally hundreds of peer-reviewed studies connecting vaccines and poor health outcomes. Any immunologist who studies mammals can tell you that the best way to disrupt the immune system is to vaccinate a newborn animal. We know that early vaccination in monkeys causes developmental delays. We know that certain vaccine ingredients, especially aluminum and mercury, but also polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, and other chemicals found in vaccines, have been linked to devastating health conditions, including neurological damage, developmental delays, and immune damage. That should be enough but it’s not. We further know that acetaminophen—often given to children right after vaccines—can cause brain inflammation.

Award-winning journalist and former contributing editor at Mothering magazine, Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., and I have written a book that covers these issues in detail. It begins with how to avoid toxins, includes a chapter on pregnancy and vaccines, and provides parents with a detailed plan for how best ways to support your child’s immune system and how to make the safest vaccine decisions. It’s called The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-from Pregnancy Through Your Child's Teen Years. 

​Will it be pulled from the shelves too?
 
Will the mainstream media tell parents not to read it?
 
Will we—who are both award-winning and Ivy League educated—now be labeled as quacks?
 
Will we be criticized, vilified, or blacklisted for giving parents vital information about vaccines, vaccine safety, the threat of infectious diseases, and evidence-based approaches to health, well-being, and lasting immunity?

​Our book is not pro- or anti-vaccine (which are absurd labels to begin with). The Vaccine-Friendly Plan presents the facts. It tells parents what they need to know about the research. All of it is out there. Hidden in plain sight. Much of it is being actively and inexcusably ignored. 

​If our public health officials would stop repeating the mantra that “vaccines are safe and effective” and start actually reading and considering the science, we could change public policy to make our vaccine program safer, reduce autism, and insure our children are as healthy as possible.
 
Knowledge is power.  
 
Don’t let anyone keep you from seeing this movie.  

​Don’t let anyone keep you from reading this book.
 
The time has come for a health revolution. We owe it to our children.
