All of the attention that Robert De Niro gave the movie Vaxxed has many people realizing that there are anti-vaccine movies out there.
Promoted as documentaries, they mostly include the same anti-vaccine ‘experts’ that scare parents away from vaccinating their kids on the Internet.
These types of movies include:
VaxxedThe Greater GoodTrace AmountsWho Killed Alex Spourdalakis?BoughtMan Made EpidemicSacrificial VirginsThe Truth About Vaccines
Most are propaganda, without even a trace amount of truth in them, and should not be used as a research tool to help you make a decision about vaccines.
