If you are reading this, you are probably aware of the fierce debate surrounding vaccination and looking for information that will allow you to make the best decisions for yourself and your loved ones. Whether you are a parent or a parent to be, sorting through the many arguments on vaccines can be daunting. Still, you need an answer, a definitive one, to the crucial question: Who has it right in the great vaccine debate – the critics, who claim that vaccines often cause serious harm, or the medical establishment, which tells us that vaccines are safe and effective and the science is settled?

Rest assured, you have come to the right place.
Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth will resolve the vaccine question for you, once and for all. By the time you finish reading, not only will you see the answer clearly for yourself, you will also have the scientific references and specific quotes at your disposal that prove it – more than 1,200 of them – all from mainstream scientific papers and textbooks, the official publications of relevant government agencies, or manufacturers’ documents.

The book consolidates a great deal of information (accompanied by detailed analysis) that is scattered in hundreds of medical articles, books, and websites. All discussion is presented in clear and easy-to-understand language, so no medical education is required. It presents several original concepts in addition to laying a robust scientific foundation for the more established ones.

Some of the fundamental vaccine safety issues covered in the book are:
  1. How is safety demonstrated before a new vaccine is licensed? What technique do vaccine manufacturers use in clinical trials to make vaccines appear safer than they actually are?
  2. What “last ditch” technique is employed when the above one cannot be, and what are its grave (and damning) ethical implications?
  3. What is the scientific foundation of the safety of vaccination, and what practical tools does this body of science provide physicians to anticipate, diagnose, and treat vaccine injury?
  4. What fundamental flaws are built into vaccine adverse events reporting systems, and how are these systems used (or misused) by health authorities to support their safety claims?
  5. What kinds of post-marketing vaccine studies are conducted, and how can they be manipulated by researchers to produce “favorable” outcomes?
  6. Why would researchers want to skew vaccine research, and how could skewed results be promulgated by the scientific community?
  7. Why would medical journals publish faulty vaccine science? What is the role of the famed “peer review” in this process?
  8. What are “the studies that will never be done” by the medical establishment and how long it has resisted doing them? (Hint: more than 100 years!)
  9. What key CDC-recommended childhood vaccination guidelines were arbitrarily set, without an adequate scientific basis?

In addition, three cornerstones of vaccination lore are covered in depth:
  1. What is herd immunity, and how does it apply (or not) to the vaccines on the childhood schedule?
  2. What role did vaccines actually play in the historical decline of infectious disease?
  3. Was the paralysis associated with polio actually caused by the poliovirus? Is there a better explanation for the great paralysis epidemics of the 20th century? What are the “19 polio mysteries”?

The book is intended for parents overwhelmed by conflicting messaging on this important topic, but it is also an excellent reference for medical researchers and professionals who seek a better understanding of vaccine safety science. Whether you are new to the vaccine debate or a “veteran” seeking a deeper grasp of the science, this book is a must-read. It also serves as an excellent primer on vaccination to share with friends and relatives who may benefit from a deep dive into the subject.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"We have found the book to be well written, serious, scientific and important... We sincerely recommend it as a scientific, medical, and public 'must read'. This book should be central to a scientific, rational, logical, skeptical, and critical discussion on routine vaccination... The authors should be congratulated on their vast scientific in-depth endeavor as well as on their courage to think outside the 'establishment box'."—Nati Ronel, Professor of Criminology, and Eti Elisha, Senior Criminologist, in Harefuah Medical Journal, Sep. 2019

"This is a wonderful book - indeed, a masterpiece - and one that really needed to be written. Clearly written and very comprehensive, it is an invaluable source of knowledge for all truly interested individuals, parents as well as physicians. The title may seem puzzling at first, but once you read the book you'll realize it is a stroke of genius. I congratulate the authors on a work extremely well done."
—Russell L. Blaylock M.D., Neurosurgeon, Author of The Liver Cure

"In the complexity of the modern world, where media manipulation is ubiquitous, it can be difficult to discern fact from fiction, truth from propaganda. To truly understand an issue, we can no longer just trust what we are told, we must first verify through our own research and exploration. This is your opportunity to research and explore a topic of enormous importance to society. There is powerful truth told in this book, rigorously researched, meticulously documented, and written with impeccable integrity. History will judge
Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth as an important anchor to truth at a time when so little of what we read and watch can be trusted."—Beth Lambert, Author of A Compromised Generation and Brain Under Attack

"I strongly recommend that you read the most important book ever written about vaccines. The book presents hundreds of facts, backed by solid scientific references, which will leave you speechless. The authors present an unprecedented analysis of the world of vaccines. The book shatters myths that we grew up on, one by one. And it does so elegantly and logically. It reads almost like a fiction thriller - when I read it, I could not put it down. It presents everything the medical establishment knows and does not want you to know. An entire world is about to be revealed to you. It is no exaggeration to say that this book is about to start a revolution."
—Gil Yosef-Shachar M.D.

"
Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth is a well-documented and persuasive guidebook to vaccination. The book could be, and should be, a game changer. I congratulate the authors on a work well done!"—Neil Z. Miller, Medical researcher, Author of Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies

"This impeccably researched and documented book formulates a cohesive and clear view of the vaccine science that is scattered in numerous scientific papers and government documents. It is a real eye-opener, guaranteed to change your thinking. You may find it hard to believe what you read, but with the documentation right there, in front of your eyes, the conclusions are inescapable."
—Patricia Lemer M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor, Author of Outsmarting Autism: Build Healthy Foundations for Communication, Socialization, and Behavior at All Ages, Chair Emeritus, Epidemic Answers

"
Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth is an extraordinary book, as its name implies. This is a must-read for anyone who wants an in-depth introduction to the subject of vaccines to make informed decisions for themselves and their family.
The authors deserve many compliments for their comprehensive and thorough work, based mainly on sources from the scientific literature and the websites of health authorities. The book presents its arguments in clear and easy-to-understand language so that a medical education is not required in order to read it and benefit from it. However, I also strongly suggest that medical professionals of all fields delve into it. Personally, I learned a lot from reading the book and I highly recommend it."
—Haim Rosenthal M.D.

"While the media is saturated with messaging that vaccines are 'safe and effective,' an increasing number of parents are growing skeptical of this narrative. This book is a comprehensive and exceptionally well documented look into the 'science' behind vaccine safety, exposing the fact that most of the supporting evidence is based on shoddy research biased by vested interests. This is arguably the most thorough and persuasive book on the market on this important topic."
—Stephanie Seneff Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, MIT, Author of Toxic Legacy

"
Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth is an important book, because it fills a gap that has long begged to be filled. It explains the science behind vaccines, distilling down a huge amount of literature, making a solid understanding of the science accessible to any committed reader. Until now, books on vaccines were either too technical for the average reader, or too simplified, or were not up to date on the current issues facing the vaccine enterprise.
Every parent should have this book in their library."
—Meryl Nass M.D.

"If you are in the habit of quoting CDC as an authority on vaccine safety and efficacy, this book will break you of that habit. Our society is engaged in an existential battle between those willing to acknowledge the evidence on vaccine safety and those who make claims based on falsified and fraudulent data. In just over 500 pages, the exquisitely referenced 'Turtles' presents reality-based fact after fact, demolishing false claim after false claim made by vaccine proponents until the truth becomes inescapable."
—James Lyons Weiler Ph.D., IPAK-EDU.org

"This book is a phenomenal resource for parents navigating the decision-making process about whether or not to vaccinate their children or for any truth-seeker daring to journey down the rabbit hole of vaccine science. Extraordinarily well written and organized, this book is the perfect primer to quickly empower the reader with a clear understanding of how the public has been bamboozled with the scientifically meaningless claim that all vaccines recommended by the CDC are 'safe and effective'. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a firm understanding of the gross inadequacies of vaccine studies and the institutionalized corruption that enables the so-called 'public health' establishment to sustain the illusion that public vaccine policy is evidence-based."
—Jeremy R. Hammond, Independent Researcher, Journalist, Author of The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board

"A superb book, the best ever written on vaccine safety. All doubts will be erased by the time you finish Chapter One."
—Steve Kirsch, Executive Director, Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (vacsafety.org)

"This is the book we've been waiting for."
—Lisa Joyce Goes, The Thinking Moms' Revolution

A must read for parents and health care providers!

A must read for parents and health care providers!
I preface this review with the fact that I am a lifelong Democrat, and an RN that routinely gave vaccines to infants without hesitation. My own children were fully vaccinated until their toddler years when we experienced vaccine injury in our own family and began to do more research and question.This book is the book parents have been waiting for. It consolidates ALL of the important information on vaccines in one place. And it does it in a way that is not dry or boring. Reading it reminded me of how one of my favorite college professors made political science so interesting that I signed up for her classes for all my electives, even though I wasn’t a political science major. It reads like a Malcom Gladwell book, (if Malcolm Gladwell were brave enough to tackle the subject of vaccines in a meaningful way). As the public becomes more and more informed, healthcare professionals working with “vaccine hesitant” parents ought to read this book to better understand what they are increasingly up against.Included in the book:-Info on the safety trials for each vaccine on the childhood schedule.-Info on adverse events and the flaws in the adverse event reporting systems.-A crash course on epidemiology that laypeople can understand.-Info on biased science (and why it is biased).-The history of various childhood vaccines and their effect on morbidity and mortality.-Herd immunity- which vaccines can help achieve it and which ones absolutely cannot.-And for anyone who has ever pleaded with a vaccine skeptic, “What about polio? Do you want polio to come back?” A detailed history of polio and polio-like illnesses and the science around them.Because of the massive censorship happening around this topic and the career ending multi-billion pharma driven machine behind it, the author has chosen to remain anonymous. Some will surely write off the book entirely for that, but it would only be a coward’s way of keeping one’s head comfortably in the sand. The book comes with a meticulous companion reference guide. Readers are encouraged to read the studies backing up the claims in this book. It’s all there for you to fact check.This is a time in history that requires courage and critical thinking. Whether you are a parent, a doctor, a nurse, or just an open-minded curious human, it is time to read this book. It is time to learn about Turtles All The Way Down.

One of the most well written texts on this modern fraud. From the use of non-inert placebos in vaccine safety testing, to the fact that the relationship between vaccine researchers, manufacturers, and government is more incestuous than Game of Thrones. From the fact that many diseases that we have vaccines for were almost banished by improvements in sanitation and nutrition before vaccines even came on the scene to a strong argument for the "polio epidemic" actually being pesticide poisoning. Great read even if you are a well read skeptic, the authors dig fairly deep into the topics while managing to make it an easy and interest holding read.

Liked this book. Must read for parents and grandparents...
First of all, you are getting this review from a 72 year old man who has not only had every recommended childhood vaccine, but has also participated in vaccine trials for new products between the ages of 67 and 70. Vaccines only really became part of our health practices and way of life when I was a 4-year old….the Salk Polio vaccine was introduced in 1955. If you want to learn something about the proliferation of vaccines since that time and maybe like me you have children (and grandchildren) facing the current regimen of 27 vaccines in the first 18 months of their life (compared to the 5 shots, never more than one at a time at a single visit that I received before the age of 2)….sit down and give this book a serious read. This book at 520 Kindle pages is a serious commitment. It’s not so medically technical as to be challenging for a young parent to understand, but it is heavily footnoted so for anyone who wants to question the origin or background for the claims made, there is plenty of extra detail from accredited medical journals, the CDC and other reliable sources to give you enough to read for 3 years.
If I happened to end up as the guardian of either of my 1 year old grandson, or my 3 month old grandson, I could not with good conscience and having raised children in the early and late 80’s take my grandchildren into a health care provider and subject them to the 2023 vaccine schedule….. any more than I would think of subjecting them to taking 7 to 10 different medications at one time if they had a cold, fever, runny nose, eczema, unknown allergy or 5 other things kids of today deal with when we watch them.
This is a great read. Believe me….it won’t turn you in to an anti-vaxxer….but you certainly will question whether the CDC, FDA and other health agencies are doing their job in studying the totality of the impact of the current vaccine schedule and whether it has your children’s health interests in mind.

This book is excellent. Chock full of important information and compelling arguments. Too bad it exists in an age where a refusal to look is commonplace, for one who does not look will never see. We've never been more studious and intentional in avoiding uncomfortable subjects. Don't be another "look the other wayer." We have more than enough of those.

Everything you ever needed to know about the vaccine industry. Very easy to read and understand. It’s long, but I got through it in 2 days.
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023
A book like this, a real paradigm shifter if there ever was one, comes along once every decade or so. Be sure to pick up an actual paper copy before it becomes very difficult to obtain as it proves big pharma and the health industrial complex often don't have you or your kids best interest at heart. It's thoroughly researched and meticulously documented to back up every incendiary question of fact or truth claim that could possibly arise.

The first sections of the book painstakingly detail how most vax trials take place with a control group versus a trial group. However, the control group is more often than not not an authentic control group but rather a group that's all ingested a previous vaccine. This of course makes any results highly suspect.

Chapters that massively illuminate deal with the "pure science myth" and McKeon's research regarding improved sanitation. The former debunks the notion that scientific research is done by cool-headed, neutral disinterested observers dedicated to nothing but truth, facts, and optimal health outcomes. This simply is not the case, clear biases and conflicts of interest abound. McKeon's unbelievably astonishing and invaluable research demonstrated that for much of the ailments of the 19th Century and 20th Century, it wasn't necessarily vaccines that did the trick, it was govt mandated and produced health and sanitation clean-up policies and improvements that saved the day.

The last portion of 'Turtles Down' deals extensively with polio and the fact that it was very likely a malady derived from toxic pesticides applied to crops. It's sensational and relatively groundbreaking information that definitely has the ring of truth to it. It's worth the price of the book alone.

As chronic illnesses in children increase simultaneous to this relatively new massive cocktail of vaccines doled out to them, it's imperative that parents, teachers, doctors, concerned citizens, intellectuals, and activists read, re-read, and re-read "Turtles all the Way Down."

Das beste Buch zu "Impfungen" (und ich habe sher viele dazu gelesen). Muss wohl ein Insider geschrieben haben, der extrem gut informiert ist. En France: 20 sur 20.
Bemerkenswerterweise vor dem C19 Event geschrieben - die mRNA Präparate fehlen also darin - aber erst danach publiziert. Wer es gelesen, und verstanden hat, lässt sich eher nicht mehr spritzen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the summary alone.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2023
Truly excellent work here, the research is of the highest class. Get it even if you just read the summary at the end. In fact, I’d suggest reading that first. More books need that style of writing. Once you’ve read it, get determined by Sapolsky and read about how they’re also using the justice system as another attack vector on the population. That’s close to the bottom of the rabbit hole and so is Empire of Normal by Chapman. The fact we have become aware of the games being played and can read this high level literature in the first place, goes against and theories of eugenics and population control. You deserve to be alive, and flourishing, not disabled from vaccines or rotting in prisons. They know it, also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trustworthy Background Behind why the World Injects Their Beautiful Newborn Babies
Reviewed in Australia on February 9, 2024
I feel this book give a really balanced view as to how the world started believing that babies needed to be injected at birth to become healthy and strong. I knew a lot of the information from previous literature however the way it tied everything together really clarified the situation. No randomly controlled trials against a placebo for the safety of any of the vaccines. Yet they say they are safe and effective. Why would they not just be transparent and conduct the appropriate trials? They are sacred as they already know what the results would be. The book does not come straight out in opposition to vaccination but rather presents the research and allows the ready to think for themselves. We need more honest books like this and power needs to be taken away from self interested pharmaceutical companies.
