Vaccines and the Diseases They Target: An Analysis of Vaccine Safety and Epidemiology

by Physicians for Informed Consent

Vaccines and the Diseases They An Analysis of Vaccine Safety and Epidemiology — also known as the Silver Booklet — is a clear, concise resource for parents, healthcare providers, and policymakers seeking balanced, evidence-based information on childhood vaccines and the diseases they aim to prevent.

Created by Physicians for Informed Consent, this book presents side-by-side comparisons of disease symptoms, treatments, and long-term risks with the side effects and effectiveness of corresponding vaccines. Each section includes graphs and visuals to help readers understand the data at a glance.

Topics include hepatitis B, MMR, polio, and more, all presented with a focus on informed decision-making. For example, the book presents data showing that seizures occur five times more often after the MMR vaccine than after measles infection, and that the aluminum content in many vaccines far exceeds government safety limits for infants.

The Silver Booklet does not promote or oppose vaccination; rather, it equips readers with the scientific data needed for an objective risk-benefit analysis. This guide is essential for expectant mothers, parents of young children, physicians, and anyone involved in vaccine policy.

A great resource on vaccinations. They do not tell you whether you should vaccinate or not but simply give you the data on studies that have been done. The gist is that the risk of vaccines have not been proven to be less than the risk of the diseases they target.
