[Alexander Gardiner · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found this emphasised the negatives and was a bit cynical throughout, though it provides some useful check lists. The fact that the author is an anti-vaxer made me a bit dubious about his sense of judgment and whether I could trust the advice being given. I want the advice given to be tried, tested and based on fact not conspiracy.
