The Greater Good Movie

a documentary film about vaccines in America

Pharmaceutical Money, AAP/AMA Guidelines, and Vaccines

March 5, 2014, 2 Comments

“CBC News spoke with business owners in the pet industry in Thunder Bay. Two of them expressed similar concerns about the frequency of vaccines, but declined to go on record for fear of possible negative effects on their relationships with local veterinarians.”1

What an illuminating piece. While veterinarians widely acknowledge that too many pet vaccines are causing cancer and other immune system problems in pets, medical doctors pretend this is not the case in children – despite the fact that over 54% of US children have a chronic illness or developmental disability and there is ample science linking these various ailments to vaccines.2

And although this news team spoke with two business owners in the pet industry who have concerns that too many vaccines are being given to pets, they are afraid to go on the record.

Perhaps it is sort of like what happens in medicine. If a doctor does not follow American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) or American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines, their state licensing boards can go after them and make their lives very difficult and even take away their license.

If the professional is a scientist investigating vaccine injury, they can lose their research funding, jeopardize consideration for tenure, or otherwise run afoul of the institution by which they are employed.

The upshot is that the media, health authorities, and vaccine makers can maintain the pretense that vaccine concerns are only forwarded by well meaning but fearful, hysterical, and ignorant parents, not by doctors and scientists.

But remember, the AAP and the AMA are trade groups charged with doing one thing: protecting the interests (read: financial) of their members.

Doctors give vaccines. Period. Well baby visits are a big part of pediatricians’ income. Doctors have a vested interest in protecting the reputation of vaccines and are not likely to lead the charge in investigating why so many kids are so sick today.

Oh, and don’t forget that the AAP and the AMA take money from the pharmaceutical industry. Big money. In fact, according to Media Matters, 20% of the AMA’s budget comes from the pharmaceutical industry and the AAP has taken millions in handouts from big pharma for things like building their new headquarter – but you won’t read that in the mainsteam.3

So if you think the AAP and the AMA guidelines represent what is best for patients, you might want to Think Again! And if you think these pharma funded trade groups are going to tell you the truth about vaccines, you also might want to Think Again!

Reviews

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
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
Electrifying.
Jessica
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
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
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
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
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
