Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth Paperback – July 16, 2022

I finally finished reading this book cover to cover, and browsed the EXCELLENT accompanying references pdf (complete with super-convenient embedded hyperlinks). It took me a long time to finish this book, and that it a deficiency on my part, rather than that of the author(s), who make the subject as digestible as possible, and explain the concepts in a way that even a lay reader with no prior knowledge of the field will be able to navigate. Even a precocious middle-schooler should be able to finish it.If you only pick up one book on the subject, this is worth your time. I’m delighted to see that an audiobook version was finally released, because I think that will make it a lot more digestible (I personally would have finished it a lot sooner if I hadn’t bought it before the audiobook version came out, and I look forward to going through it again in that format – seriously, it was that good). That being said, in a book of this size and scope, expect to find parts that take effort to get through, and parts that you can’t put down (and which parts those are will likely vary from reader to reader). The book as a whole is an investment that will pay off, and if I could go back in time and slap myself upside the head, I would have made myself read this before any of the other books I read for new parents.I learned something in every chapter, including the ones where I had some familiarity with the subject matter. The chapter on polio, especially, blew my mind. I hope someday in the coming years the authors can publicly reveal their identities and be recognized for the insane amount of work that went into this labor of love.The treatment of the subject is very systematic, and an especially good format for helping the reader’s retention. Each chapter addresses its subtopics in a good, natural order of progression (and also chronologically where that aids the delivery). Each chapter ends with good summary points helping the reader retain what has been covered, as well as section dealing with counterarguments. The summation at the end of the book is also helpful to tie everything together.There’s nothing kooky in here (I admit, I was afraid I’d find that). The authors are restrained and very careful about where the evidence points and where evidential deficiencies are and what evidence SHOULD exist but doesn’t. They don’t straw-man opposing arguments. Instead, they steel-man those arguments and THEN address them. The authors quote so many primary sources, I can’t imagine the thousands of hours of legwork and thousands of dollars it had to personally cost them to pull all of those together. The accompanying references pdf deserves its own commendatory shout-out. With over 250 pages of references, most of them conveniently hyperlinked and ALL referenced in such a way as to enable readers to easily track down and verify the claims made. This is written by people who WANT readers to check the sources for themselves, and have made it as easy as humanly possible to do so, and it is the opposite of what we see from organizations like the CDC.

This is an extremely well written book, that is easy to read. There ought to be a copy in every house where the inhabitants care about their health and the current quality of medical advice WRT viral diseases and vaccines.The accompanying almost 300 page on-line reference with hot links (one can download) makes the book a more intensive experience that can lead one off into their own personal research. There is so much information to digest that I will certainly be rereading parts of the book again and will keep it readily available as a reference.Chapter 1 is the best discussion I have ever read concerning vaccine clinical trials. Now I finally feel I understand what mumbo-jumbo baloney we are being fed by public health bureaucrats who say “follow the science and don’t question what we tell you.”It was staggering to find out, despite the “follow the science” edicts from the medical community, that more than sixty years of modern vaccine research has provided little theoretical or practical scientific insight into how vaccines hurt people, how to recognize or diagnose adverse events, which individuals are at increased risk for vaccine injury, what factors affect the severity of vaccine injury, or how vaccine-related health injuries can be effectively treated. Worse, one learns that contract research organizations are now used almost exclusively by vaccine companies to test their products in studies where the companies, themselves, basically control the design and results of these supposedly “impartial” studies. Meanwhile, so-called “peer-reviewed” studies are mostly performed by scientific and medical peers that never have access to the actual trial data that would permit a real independent assessment. So the vaccine companies basically control from beginning to end what little “real” scientific research gets performed.Chapters 8 through 10 were absolutely eye-openers for me. They cover the real causes for the decline in infectious disease mortality, the rise in chronic diseases in children, herd immunity and its relationship with vaccination policy and disease eradication, and finally the mysteries of polio (why did some people contract the disease or suffer similar disease symptoms, while most people did not). In fact, inspired by the book’s online references, my own exploration on polio led to the discovery of research papers published by Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. in the period of the late 1940s thru the early 1970s. One such paper; Frederick R. Klenner; “The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other Virus Diseases with Vitamin C,” Southern Medicine & Surgery, 111(7), 209-214, July 1949; discusses the effects of administering large doses of sodium ascorbate (a form of vitamin C) to scores of patients suffering from polio with the onset of paralysis, where almost all of them eventually fully recovered from the effects of the "disease," while those not so treated did not.Finally, what I believe most people will find is that one’s time spent reading this book will be found to be very worthwhile and one’s view of medicine, disease, and vaccines will be changed for the better, forever.

This book is extremely well-written, well-organized, and easy to read; it is not necessary or essential to have intimate knowledge regarding these topics. The books message is clear, even for the layperson. This is essential knowledge for practitioners of all types of medicine, healthcare workers, and parents alike. Most importantly, it exposes the corruption within modern pharmacology from every necessary angle (conflicts of interest, falsified studies, lack of genuine placebos, etc.). It also eloquently describes the harm that these supposed “safe and effective” medicines may cause. Be mindful of your own individual programming and the indoctrination towards the mainstream narrative; essentially, keep an open mind while reading.

Delving into the first chapter alone will reveal to any parent the critical importance of doing your own research BEFORE trusting any allopathic provider. Clear and convincing, objective data and evidence of the myriad dangers of profit-driven vaccine mandates.The truth is almost Indescribable.Educate yourself.

10/10 recommend. So informational and backed by many references. Opened my eyes to soo much.Also recommend how to end the autism epidemic if you want to learn more about vaccines.

This makes it so simple. It’s idiot proof. Send a copy to your friends and family who just don’t get it.

Excellent. informative and eye-opening. The information is exhaustive and helpful to understand the perspectives and why the vaccine market works the way it has. The authors have done their job well. Highly recommended to everyone willing to hear and discern the truth.
