Reviews

Electrifying.
Jessica
This film captures the essence of the vaccine debate: The benefits of vaccines for individuals as well as for society versus the very small but very real risks of a severe vaccine reaction. Everyone involved in the vaccine issue, from doctors and policymakers to every new parent, must see THE GREATER GOOD
Dr. Bob Sears
There are many physicians who are witnessing an increasing number of children with complex inflammatory & autoimmune conditions, and are beginning to suspect that vaccines may be playing more of a contributing role in the development of these conditions, than what they were previously led to believe. Nonetheless, these physicians don’t have a safe forum in which they can discuss their concerns. This film, “THE GREATER GOOD,” may be the appropriate medium through which physicians can begin to open up the next phase of dialogue about their growing concerns of vaccine safety & efficacy.
Dr. Larry Palevsky
There are severe consequences due to our current vaccine policy and schedule, many of which are simply dismissed as coincidence or diagnosed improperly. These damages cannot be swept under the rug, and THE GREATER GOOD documentary highlights several powerful personal stories of vaccine tragedies to bring increased awareness to this important issue.
Dr. Joe Mercola
THE GREATER GOOD documentary provides real insights about the polarizing vaccine debate. The one size fits all, cradle to grave approach regarding vaccines is a short sighted crusade coordinated by the government and pharmaceutical companies. If we have learned anything regarding medical treatments, it’s that informed consent be the only mandatory requirement.
Dr. Joe Mercola
THE GREATER GOOD may be the most important vaccine film ever made. Finally, we hear the stories of families adversely affected by vaccines told in a compelling and compassionate way. Using film as a medium for social change, THE GREATER GOOD informs, educates and calls to action. It is documentary film at its finest.
Peggy O'Mara
THE GREATER GOOD is a truly important film, one that finally addresses the nuances of the great vaccine debate of our times. It is a moving and inspiring work that should be required viewing for health care practitioners and families interested in open and honest dialogue about immunizations and public health.
Dr. Larry Rosen
Vaccines: It is such an interesting topic, I’ve never experienced such a polarizing force in conversations or relationships.
Tony Edwards
Wow. I was so riveted. The family stories were so heart wrenching. It was so well done. I hope this film is watched by many parents.
Dr. Bob Sears
