The Doctor Who Fooled the World
Author: Brian Deer
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421438011
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Investigative reporter Brian Deer exposes a conspiracy of fraud and betrayal behind attacks on a mainstay of medicine: vaccinations. 2021 IPPY Book Award Winner (Gold) in Health/Medicine/Nutrition, Recipient of the Eric Hoffer Award for Nonfiction in the Culture Category. From San Francisco to Shanghai, from Vancouver to Venice, controversy over vaccines is erupting around the globe. Fear is spreading. Banished diseases have returned. And a militant "anti-vax" movement has surfaced to campaign against children's shots. But why? In The Doctor Who Fooled the World, award-winning investigative reporter Brian Deer exposes the truth behind the crisis. Writing with the page-turning tension of a detective story, he unmasks the players and unearths the facts. Where it began. Who was responsible. How they pulled it off. Who paid. At the heart of this dark narrative is the rise of the so-called "father of the anti-vaccine movement": a British-born doctor, Andrew Wakefield. Banned from medicine, thanks to Deer's discoveries, he fled to the United States to pursue his ambitions, and now claims to be winning a "war." In an epic investigation spread across fifteen years, Deer battles medical secrecy and insider cover-ups, smear campaigns and gagging lawsuits, to uncover rigged research and moneymaking schemes, the heartbreaking plight of families struggling with disability, and the scientific scandal of our time.

Faith to Freedom

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Faith to Freedom: From Dumpster to Doctor, is a book title that stirs a strong curiosity at the onset. The mind's eye envisions familiar sights of souls lingering on sidewalks, asleep on bus stop benches or lining freeway underpasses in metropolitan areas. Hope for them appears dim, and a life turnaround nearly impossible. Author, Dr. Keith L. Marshall escorts his reading audience down a very personal and vulnerable road. A scenic route revealing childhood abuse suffered from his stepfather's rage, promiscuity, a twenty year struggle with a chronic crack cocaine addiction, abandonment, homelessness, imprisonment and the severe trauma suffered from being shot in the head point blank and stabbed multiple times, being left for dead.Ultimately, Dr. Marshall does reveal the silver lining within the pages of his autobiography. Before doing so, he naturally motivates his reading audience to take a deeper look into their own lives, past and present. In doing so they may be inspired to unearth and face their own buried pain, ghosts from the past and residual fears that need to be uprooted and healed. His extraordinary experience of being wrapped in modern day miracle as he stared death in the face is inexplicable. He survived the unimaginable which brought him to the doorstep of spiritual awareness. God was no longer afar off. Marshall let go of religious practice and rituals and became conscious and present in his thought life while changing the self-destructive behaviors that hurt himself and others. His journey proves that no matter how dark and ominous a life may seem, there is always a way out, and God is waiting to lead them to that space. Dr. Marshall is a Doctor of Psychology, CEO, Author, and living a more enduring, purposeful, and productive life. Faith to Freedom: From Dumpster to Doctor maneuvers the reader to ponder their existence and its meaning. Marshall asserts that there is one universal and undeniable truth about life and there is something we all have in common. That is the imminent reality that death awaits us, and the question we all ask ourselves, "What happens after life as we know it on earth"? He cannot leave this world without sharing his story and assuring others that self-forgiveness, redemption, and overcoming human struggles, is possible. The raw effects of trauma and self-destruction can become a thing of the past as long as there is breath in the body, and a will to get up and rebuild!
