Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby's "21 Reasons Not to Get Vaccinated" challenges mainstream views on immunization
- Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby's book "21 Reasons Not to Get Vaccinated" questions the widespread belief in the safety and efficacy of vaccines, suggesting that the decline in infectious diseases is more due to improved sanitation, nutrition and healthcare than to vaccination.
- The book cites experts like Drs. Archie Kalokerinos, Viera Scheibner and Robert Mendelsohn, who argue that historical data and proper statistics might show that vaccines are not as effective as commonly believed and that large-scale epidemics often occur in highly vaccinated populations.
- Scott-Mumby and contributors like Dr. Richard Moskowitz draw a provocative analogy between vaccination and religious sacrament, arguing that the unquestioned acceptance of vaccines reflects a blind faith in biotechnology and public health mandates.
- The book highlights potential side effects and long-term health impacts of vaccines, such as the rise in chronic autoimmune and neurological diseases and criticizes the vaccine industry for exaggerating risks of diseases to promote vaccination.
- Emphasizing personal experiences and a critical view of the vaccine industry, Scott-Mumby advocates for informed consent and the right of individuals to make their own health decisions, calling for a more transparent and balanced discussion about vaccination.
In a provocative new book, "
21 Reasons Not to Get Vaccinated," author Keith Scott-Mumby presents a series of arguments that challenge the widely accepted narrative on the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
Released on March 1, 2023, the book has already sparked intense debate among public health officials, medical professionals and the general public. Scott-Mumby, a practicing physician and advocate for alternative medicine, draws on a range of scientific studies, historical data and personal experiences to question the conventional wisdom surrounding vaccination.
The book's central thesis is that the benefits of vaccines are often overstated, and the risks are underreported. Scott-Mumby invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about the role of vaccines in public health, suggesting that the decline in infectious diseases might be more attributable to improved sanitation, nutrition and healthcare than to vaccination itself.
One of the book's most compelling arguments comes from Dr. Archie Kalokerinos, who asserts that "if we look at the proper statistics and study the instances of diseases, we might realize that this conviction is not entirely justified." This statement challenges the widespread belief that vaccines are the primary reason for the decline in diseases such as measles and smallpox.
The book also draws a provocative comparison between vaccination and religion, describing vaccines as a "sacrament" or "religious cult." Dr. Richard Moskowitz, another key figure in the book, elaborates on this idea, stating, "Vaccines have become sacraments of our faith in biotechnology. Their efficacy and safety are often seen as self-evident, and they are administered to everyone in the name of the public good." This comparison raises important questions about the balance between individual choice and public health mandates.
Historical context is another critical component of Scott-Mumby's argument. Dr. Viera Scheibner points out that "smallpox epidemics disappeared decades before the
World Health Organization's final eradication campaign." She further notes that "the largest epidemics often occurred in the most highly vaccinated populations," a revelation that challenges the notion that vaccines are infallible.
The book also questions the scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of vaccines. Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, a pediatrician and critic of routine vaccination, states, "There is no convincing evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease." This claim underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of the factors contributing to disease decline.
Potential risks associated with vaccines are another focus of the book. For instance, it discusses the case of Hib vaccines, which have led to the displacement of Haemophilus as a cause of disease and death, but have also resulted in the rise of other organisms like pneumococcus. Hilary Butler argues that the use of vaccines has contributed to an increase in chronic autoimmune and neurological diseases, noting the dramatic rise in conditions such as asthma, attention-deficit disorder, diabetes and learning disabilities over the past two decades.
Scott-Mumby also criticizes the marketing practices of the vaccine industry, suggesting that the risks of diseases are often exaggerated to persuade the public to accept new vaccines. He points to the role of fear in promoting vaccination and encourages readers to critically evaluate the information presented to them.
The book highlights potential conflicts of interest within the vaccine industry, particularly concerning the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). It notes that weak conflict of interest rules have allowed members with ties to pharmaceutical companies to participate in decision-making processes.
Another significant issue addressed in the book is the challenges faced by individuals seeking compensation for vaccine injuries. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is criticized for making it difficult for victims to litigate and receive justice, a sobering reminder of the human cost of vaccination.
Scott-Mumby shares his personal experience as a clinician and the turning point that led him to question the status quo. He recounts the story of a friend's baby who died after receiving a DPT shot, which prompted him to investigate the scientific validity of vaccines.
