The evidence is compelling, that vaccines are not really safe and effec- tive at all. BOOKS If the Vedic accounts seem strange, that ancient peoples have been in regular con- tact with advanced beings from other worlds, they are no less strange than con- temporary UFO reports, so the author urges that we don't dismiss the Vedic view as mere mythology without any basis in phys- ical reality. There is so much evidence that defies 'sci- entific’ explanation, and too many sane people who've had too many weird experi- ences for in-depth study of these cross-cul- tural phenomena to be ignored. Dr Thompson is the researcher's friend; his book is well-referenced and has an excellent bibliography to inspire further investigation. Inevitably one has to ask why noble truth- seekers like Neil Miller, who want no more than for their children to grow up happy, healthy and safe, have to go to such lengths to get information that the medical system is withholding from them—either through ignorance or malintent. Our modem society is tending towards declining health, deteriorating immunity, and the author points to a direct relation- ship between vaccinations and the modern epidemics of chronic fatigue, AIDS, autoimmune disorders, learning disabilities, and so on.

We have a right to freedom of choice, and thanks to the efforts of Neil Miller and others like him, we can look forward to some lively debates as more come to learn why vacci- nation is a very controversial subject.

This is another worthy title in the growing body of literature today presenting an alter- native viewpoint on the immunisation issue.

He was surprised to find much evidence in the scientific medical literature documenting immune-failure of many vac- cines, dangerous side-effects from seizures to retardation to death, and needless NEXUS*69 (a — — = — -_—- —__— Saale ntidicieeeeeeeetdieeememmeasenenmee EO FEBRUARY - MARCH 1994
