I was not looking for an argument. I was looking for the documents.

Somewhere between the twelve-week appointment and the first red book sticker, most mothers notice something they cannot quite name. A question that gets answered before it is finished. A leaflet handed across as a formality. The sense that the decision was made somewhere else and you are being walked through the paperwork.

I went and read the primary material instead.

Nine hours of sworn testimony from the man who developed the rubella strain used in most of the world. I watched all of it. The manufacturers' own product labels, written because the law demands them rather than to persuade anybody. Court judgments. Committee minutes. The statistics governments publish about themselves.

There is not a single source in this book that is sympathetic to my position. That is the whole of what I am claiming for it.

What is inside

• Fifteen things nobody disputes, set out before the contents page, each one traceable to a document you can open in under a minute.
• Twenty-eight questions with direct answers, so you can find what you need without reading three hundred pages.
• Twenty-five chapters, each opening with a plain-language summary and closing with what to actually do.
• A live source list. One hundred and thirty-four working links, to the deposition, the labels, the Green Book, the CDC schedule, the papers. Tap and read the original.
• A section for American readers, covering the differences in schedule, compensation, consent law and state exemptions.

Some of what it covers

• How long each product was actually observed for safety before licensing, taken from the manufacturers' own leaflets
• Why one major trial's control group contained almost no placebo, and where the missing column went
• What is in a vial besides the thing it is named after
• Two cell strains from 1962 and 1966, still in use, and what is measurably in the injection because of them
• Why the whooping cough strategy had to be rebuilt from the ground up
• The 2009 trial nobody mentions when they tell you to give Calpol beforehand
• What actually decides whether measles kills a child, and the treatment most mothers here have never been offered
• Products withdrawn after release, and what they were withdrawn for
• The compensation schemes, and what their existence admits
• What you are legally entitled to be told, in Britain and in America

What this book does not do

It does not tell you what to decide. I do not know your child, and anybody who claims to from a distance, on either side of this, is selling you something.

It does not hide the findings that cut against me. Several are in here, stated plainly, because a book that only reports what suits its author is not evidence of anything.

And it does not ask you to trust me. Every claim has a source and every source is one tap away.

Who it is for

Mothers who have been made to feel foolish for asking a question.

Mothers who have already decided, either way, and want to know they decided rather than drifted.

Fathers, midwives, and anybody who has been handed a leaflet and asked to sign.

This is not a case against vaccination. It is the conversation you should have been offered and were not.
