There’s something inherently fishy about a movie that claims our facts are drawn from an inefficient data set which then turns around and uses the same methodology. Read full review

On the surface, the doc makes some compelling arguments, although most of its power is emotional rather than informational. Read full review

Vaxxed comes across as a grab-bag of charts, theories and anecdotal evidence that would never pass muster by the editors of any major scientific journal (like, say, the Lancet), and too often resembles the kind of one-sided, paranoia-stoking agitprop that political activists construct to sanctify true believers and assault infidels.

Vaxxed is, in the words of Sheriff Bart, the last act of a desperate man. It’s Andrew Wakefield’s Hail Mary, thrown — I hope — as his time in the public arena finally runs out. Read full review

Wakefield's by-the-numbers approach to didactic storytelling relies on tons of random factoids positioned out of context to drive home his agenda. Read full review

It’s hard to know which of the film’s many flaws to cite first, so here’s one thing it does fairly well: scare the bejesus out of you. That’s assuming you have read nothing about the subject of vaccines and autism, and are of a generally lax and incurious mind when it comes to the rigors of scientific inquiry. Read full review

This is an excellent movie about a simple issue - does the public have the right to expect the truth from their government's scientists?

The reason the movie is so unsettling is because the answer to that question seems to depend upon who pays your salary. It's well made, clear and to the point, but it's a tough watch, whatever your opinion. It's tough to make decisions about the health of your own kids too, and for that reason above all others, it is a MUST watch. This movie provokes more questions than it answers. Everyone needs to know what those questions are.… Expand

A powerful film that reveals just how far mainstream reviewers will go to protect their sponsors. The New York Times, for example, most influential -- Its board of directors is heavily populated with pharmaceutical reps. The mainstream reviewers know their masters. See harvoa dot org

A MUST SEE for ALL parents. The public needs to become aware that vaccines are NOT tested and ARE definitely injuring children and adults! Dr. Wakefield, Del, Polly, and team deserve a huge thumbs up for an excellent film!!

This is a fantastic movie, very informative. Everyone should watch it and take the message onboard. The pharmaceutical industry makes billions without any responsibility to those they injure and this needs to stop.

Anyone who doesn't rate this movie is either biased or closed minded. YouThis is a fantastic movie, very informative. Everyone should watch it and take the message onboard. The pharmaceutical industry makes billions without any responsibility to those they injure and this needs to stop.

Anyone who doesn't rate this movie is either biased or closed minded. You do not need to be medically trained to understand the information as it's presented here. Growing up I never knew anybody who was Autistic and now I know several. This explosion is not natural and the evidence is right in front of you in this film. If you have any interest in your continuing health, or more importantly, the health of future generations then watch this film and get this criminal activity stopped.… Expand

The most profound movie of our time! Autism is sky rocking and millions of mothers blame vaccines! The CDC, Merck and the government are all in bed together. Vaccines are a trillion dollar industry that uses fear as a marketing tool. Do your research! Vaccines do not work!

why watch this movie when you can have children die to measles? Also Jesus says to vaccinate.
