For the second year, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and Mercola.com are teaming up to co-sponsor Vaccine Awareness Week (Oct. 30-Nov. 5, 2011) to raise public awareness about the urgent need for those operating the mass vaccination system in the U.S. to make vaccine safety and informed consent protections a much higher priority.

Never-before-seen video profiles of two victims of vaccine injury and their families produced by NVIC will be featured. The two families, who are interviewed by Barbara Loe Fisher in their homes, talk about a wide range of concerns that many Americans are facing when they try to make vaccination decisions.
Flu Vaccine Reaction Leaves Former Nurse a Quadriplegic
The first vaccine injury profile video was featured yesterday in an article on influenza vaccine released in the Mercola.com newsletter. It is the heartbreaking story of a former professor of nursing at a Connecticut university. She and her daughter, Katie, talk about what happened to their lives after a Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) complication of a routine flu shot led to strokes and ended in complete paralysis for this once active, vibrant mother and grandmother.
Pertussis Vaccine Reaction Leads to Developmental Delays
Interviews with this Houston family reveal a three-generation history of vaccine reactions. They continue to struggle today to make vaccine choices in a climate of prejudice and stubborn denial of their increased biological susceptibility to vaccine reactions, which makes one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination
policies so dangerous for them.

Voices of Vaccine Injured, Advocates, Doctors & Scientists
THE GREATER GOOD movie features the perspectives of families with children, who have been injured or died from childhood vaccinations, along with pro-informed consent advocates, including Barbara Loe Fisher; pediatricians Lawrence Palevsky, M.D. and Bob Sears, M.D.; Stephanie Christner, D.O., whose infant daughter died after a series of vaccinations in Oklahoma; Gabi Swank, who suffered a severe reaction to a series of Gardasil shots in Kansas; and the King family in Oregon, whose now-teenage son suffered regressive autism after childhood vaccinations.
Vaccine researchers, including Chris Shaw, Ph.D. and Diane Harper, M.D., PhD, discuss gaps in the vaccine safety science. The film also includes the perspectives of prominent pro-mandatory vaccination proponents, who are associated with vaccine manufacturers, the American Academy of Pediatrics and federal health agencies.
Film’s LA Premiere: “What is Being Said is Staggering”
THE GREATER GOOD was first shown at the Dallas Film Festival last spring and, since then, has received the Amsterdam Cinematic Vision Award and the Sidewalk Moving Picture Film Festival Koroni Award from the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama.
At the LA premiere last week, a reviewer in the LA Weekly said, “What’s being said is staggering, especially if you don’t know much about the science and politics behind vaccines” and a reviewer for the Los Angeles Times commented, ”Deftly examined….provocative….film is an effective eye-opener.”
Film’s NYC Premiere in November
THE GREATER GOOD film is part of the November 2011 New York’s Documentary Festival. There will be a special screening of the film co-sponsored by NVIC at the International Film Center on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. (check NVIC’s Facebook page for more details closer to the event).
