The Greater Good Movie

a documentary film about vaccines in America

VaXxed The Movie – Censored All Across the Land!

April 19, 2016, 2 Comments

There is an important new documentary out called VaXxed: From Controversy to Catastrophe. We highly recommend you see this film. It details the vast web of corruption at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the federal agency charged with protecting the public health.

The film portrays how a senior scientist from CDC blew the whistle and admitted that he and senior officials at CDC fraudulently altered the data of their own study to conceal their findings that MMR vaccine was linked to autism. They even went so far as to destroy the files to cover their tracks.

You may have heard about VaXxed as the famous TriBeCa Film Festival announced it would screen the film and  Robert De Niro, festival  co-founder and father of a son with autism, stated “we believe it is critical that all of the issues surrounding the causes of autism be openly discussed and examined.” 

Within hours of the announcement, dozens and dozens of news outlets around the globe attacked De Niro and the festival for screening the film using suspiciously uniform talking points. There was no discussion of the content of the film – allegations of gross fraud and corruption at CDC – there was only an attack of the filmmaker, Dr. Andrew Wakefield.

Dr. Wakefield has been called disgraced, a fraud, and much more but the truth is he’s not. When Professor John Walker-Smith, Wakefield’s boss and co-author of a now retracted paper,  sued the British General Medical Council (GMC) over essentially the same charges levied against Wakefield, the British High Court fully exonerated Walker-Smith, a world renowned pediatric gastro-enterologist, and severely rebuked the GMC for its abuse of power.

The ‘retracted” paper was never reinstated but it should have been. Instead, it has been used as an excuse to vilify Wakefield and distract away from the true scientific concerns about the dangers of vaccines.

Overnight, after the spate of vicious articles attacking TriBeCa, the festival relented and banned the film. What is most disgraceful is that these media outlets all pilloried the film and the festival without ever having viewed the film. This amounts to nothing more than ad hominem attacks and calls for censorship.

But DeNiro was not to be kept down. He appeared angry and at odds with his festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal when he appeared on the Today Show and expressed his genuine concern that there is something to the vaccine-autism link and that we need to find the truth. The interview is well worth watching.

Unfortunately, TriBeCa was not alone in censoring VaXxed. The Worldfest-Houston Film Festival soon announced it was being forced by the Houston Mayor’s office to withdraw the film or lose $100,000 of dollars of grant money. 

Then the Village Voice in NYC cancelled ads and sent out an email retraction following a paid email blast.

You have to wonder what is so frightening about the movie VaXxed that media outlets and officials across the country are forcing festivals to ban the film. When those in positions of power are able to exert that power to censor information uncomfortable to the powers that be, we have to reconsider just how free our country truly is. 

It is also worth mentioning that The Greater Good submitted to TriBeCa and Sundance. The program director at one of those festivals told us that the program team wanted the film in the festival but their hands were tied. When will the vaccine safety issue receive the fair hearing it deserves.

Thankfully, theaters across the nation are indeed screening VaXxed to packed houses and the instances of censorship appear to have backfired. We urge all our community to go and watch this important film.

Find a screening near you.

    I believe the vaccine our killing our kids. I have a grand daughter who was vaccined, and now her body is going all crazy, her to sisters have autism, and have sensory issues. My grand daughters wake up with head aches, and shakes, seizures, and going in and out of the doctors. They have no understanding what is going on. My grand daughter is going in for a mri on the 7th of june, We went to our doctor and asked for a note to say these kids will not have shots any more. The doctor did it because he son has autism also. The more and more I see kids have cancers, they have autism, sensory problems. Tics, sickness that can not be explained. In my own mind I feel it is the vaccines. Healthy kids and now they are sick. We were lied to. Our kids are dying. And i believe the cdc and the fda are the fault of it all. What happen to choice, In my day I live through the child hood sickness’s and now they have over 10,000 and more shots for our kids. If there is no science to tell us the truth, well there shouldn’t any science to say it is not harmful. We are lied to and the people who work for the cdc and fda know this.

    There’s a treatment for the harmful effects of vaccination called CEASE therapy. It’s a homeopathic method, creating a detox of the harmful ingredients in vaccines. A Dutch doctor/homeopath Tinus Smit developed this therapy. Just google the term CEASE therapy and you’ll find many names of doctors offering this treatment.
    It’s been, to this day, very successful and some children suffering from autism recovered their health, or some recovered almost entirely. Increasing the quality of life and returning a sense of peace again in the families. There are testimonies of parents online. Also there are interviews with Tinus Smit, before he passed away.

Reviews

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
Electrifying.
Jessica
Vaccines: It is such an interesting topic, I’ve never experienced such a polarizing force in conversations or relationships.
Tony Edwards
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
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 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 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
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
