Description
An in-depth guide for parents as they struggle to make informed decisions about vaccines for their children.
In Unavoidably Unsafe, Dr. Edward Geehr and Dr. Jeffrey Barke confront the prevailing beliefs surrounding childhood vaccines with unflinching scrutiny and bold insight. As seasoned physicians, they acknowledge the revered status vaccines hold in modern medicine while bravely questioning their safety and efficacy.
From the historical triumphs of polio eradication to the complexities of modern immunization schedules, Geehr and Barke unravel the layers of vaccine development and regulation. They shed light on the unintended consequences of vaccine mandates and the erosion of informed consent in the face of mounting pharmaceutical influence.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience and exhaustive research, the authors challenge conventional wisdom by addressing critical issues such as:
The proliferation of childhood vaccines and their impact on public health
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and its implications for vaccine safety
The symbiotic relationship between pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies
The shortcomings of Emergency Use Authorization and its implications for vaccine safety
The presence of potentially harmful additives in vaccine formulations
A fresh look at possible links between vaccines and autism
Cautionary considerations regarding mRNA vaccines and their suitability for children
Practical guidance for evaluating the risks and benefits of vaccines for individual children
The significance of proper informed consent and patient advocacy in vaccination decisions
Unavoidably Unsafe is not an indictment of vaccines but a call to arms for informed decision-making and transparency in healthcare. Geehr and Barke aim to empower parents, guardians, and healthcare providers with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex landscape of childhood immunization responsibly.
In a rapidly evolving medical landscape where uncertainties abound, Unavoidably Unsafe serves as a beacon of clarity and integrity, reaffirming the importance of critical thinking and patient-centered care in safeguarding the health and well-being of future generations.

Reviews / Votes
Praise for Unavoidably Unsafe:"Driven by long standing vaccine ideology, hubris, and profits, the routine childhood vaccine schedule has grown exponentially in the absence of new and substantial infectious disease threats to children. Mounting evidence over decades suggests the theoretical benefits of vaccines may have been outweighed by real harms rendering the entire program 'unavoidably unsafe.' Drs. Geehr and Barke help parents navigate this new reality, going shot by shot, providing the information needed for full informed consent. This guide is destined to be a valuable resource for every young family and a wonderful companion for pediatric well-baby visits."--Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Dallas TX, and author of Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex
"Drs. Edward Geehr and Jeffrey Barke present an incredibly well-written treatise documenting irrefutable evidence of the absolute corruption of the fraudulent governmental-pharmaceutical vaccine complex. This is a must read for all global citizens including every physician. This masterpiece not only presents data that cannot be discounted, but also a fascinating history of the vaccines. The brainwashing, mind control, and corporate kleptocracy has been completed through every stitch of the tapestry of our society. We were taught nothing in medical school about vaccines except to always give them and that they were proven safe and effective. Jonas Salk visited our medical school class, and he was revered as a god. Drs. Geehr and Barke expose the typical revolving door between the pharmaceutical industry and the federal regulators exactly as depicted so recently with Scott Gottlieb serving as the 23rd Commissioner of the FDA and now with Pfizer. This book is riveting!"-- James A .Thorp, MD, Board Certified in Ob/Gyn and in Sub-Specialty Maternal-Fetal Medicine, ??Chief of Maternal and Prenatal Health, ??The Wellness Company at TWC@health
"Vaccination status has become nearly as divisive a topic as religion and politics. This excellent new book couldn't have come at a better time! With authority and clarity, the authors dispel vaccine myths, expose the Judas character of many in the pharmaceutical industry, and show us all how to get the power of our families' health back into the hands of 'we the people.' If you want to understand the true story behind vaccines, their value, and their risks, give this book a shot."--Kirk Cameron, actor, producer, and evangelist
"Unavoidably Unsafe is co-authored by two physicians who have dedicated over three decades to the practice of medicine and encapsulates not just the breadth of their medical knowledge, but also the depth of their commitment to truth. While we currently witness the wide-scale intersection of medicine and policy, Dr. Barke and Dr. Geehr's insights into childhood vaccines show their unwavering dedication to the principles of individual freedom and informed healthcare decisions. Their book is more than a collection of facts from a seasoned physician; it is a call to action for any parent who is considering vaccines for their children. It challenges parents to think critically and do research before allowing their children to be injected with a product that could potentially be detrimental to their life. In sharing their wisdom, Dr. Barke and Dr. Geehr invite the reader to join them in their mission of protecting children from the corrupt, money-driven vaccine industry and honor a view of healthcare based on the principles of truth, knowledge, and medical freedom."--Dr. Shannon Kroner, author of I'm Unvaccinated and That's Ok! and executive director of Freedom Of Religion-United Solutions
"[Unavoidably Unsafe] is of...critical import at this time in history. People have lost faith that their government-and even their own doctors-can be trusted as reliable sources of medical and scientific information. This book fills a vital role for parents who have become concerned about the safety of all vaccines. It is chock-full of immediately practicable material. It's perfect for busy parents who want a thorough, but readable, reference on vaccines."--Christopher Rake, MD, MPH
