... about the issues surrounding vaccination

Matt Davenport of NBC KPVI  Idaho interviews the writer and producer of the documentary "The Greater Good," Leslie Manookian about the issue of vaccines.

From Manookian's Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine:

The Greater Good is an award-winning documentary about the red-hot issue of vaccines. The film portrays the heart-rending stories of three families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccines. It also features vaccine advocates and experts from medicine, science and advocacy, who argue their perspectives and experiences vigorously and eloquently.

The Greater Good can be watched by visiting the web site and purchasing a DVD or stream and is also available on hulu.

As an accompaniment to the film, the team from The Greater Good has put together a host of resources for medical professionals and lay folks alike. If you are interested in learning more about the science that explores and documents adverse reactions to vaccines, check out the Catalogue of Science which contains links to over 200 papers and case reports published in peer reviewed medical literature. The Catalogue is organized into subcategories covering the following:
