Chapter 1: Why is there a controversy around children's vaccination?
We have to have an extremely high bar of evidence and proof to give a newborn baby something that they don't actively need when the risk is very, very low.
We know autism rates are skyrocketing. We have the highest rates of childhood cancer in recorded history. An educated parent is a great parent. And I think moms and dads are like, what does my pediatrician say? Because obviously these entities must have my kid's best interests at heart.
It's almost like vaccines are a crazier topic to talk about now than almost any topic we have to talk about this. Our kids deserve that. There's a lot of information that's just not true.
They're either vaccinate at all costs or your children will die or don't vaccinate at all costs or your children will die.
We need to look at the balance of the pros and the cons on everything. And that's how you make decisions. And it doesn't seem like we're doing that.
What vaccines, in my opinion, need to meet is this quantifiable risk hurdle. The risk is not zero that you won't break your ankle if you're playing in the yard.
There is no question that our children's health is a disaster. It's infuriating as a pediatrician and a dad that we're not open to discussing everything and not coming in with our preconceived notions about things like vaccines because at the end of the day, we all want the same thing. We want healthy kids.
Let's just talk about raising healthy children. What are some advice that you would give to parents to raise healthy children?
The most important place to start is...

Chapter 2: How does Dr. Warsh approach functional and integrative medicine?
Trust in medicine is gone because of the ridiculous things that were said that could possibly be true. So you look at the stats, like 70% plus people used 2020 were favorable for doctors and hospitals. Now it's under 40%. These are big polls. They're gone. And sadly, the doctors don't deserve that. No, doctors are good people. They're great people.
But you can't take a profession and just keep forcing things on people without having discussions. And the ironic thing is all of this forcing is pushing people the other way. We have the highest amounts of exemptions, requests, lowest vaccine rates ever that we've had in modern history. So everything's going in the wrong direction. And when you say things with a new product like,
safe and effective. It's a ridiculous thing to say because you don't know that because it's new. You could say, reasonably, based on the research that we have so far, the benefits seem to outweigh the known risks in the short term. In the short term. We recommend it, but... And I'm not against even the EUA.
I'm not against creating a new product because you might need it and you might save your life. That's fine. The forcing and the gaslighting and the telling people that you require to do something, that's where we have a problem. That's what needs to be out of medicine.
Tons of people lost their jobs, lost their careers.
You don't need to force people to do things. You have to convince them to take it based on the research and the data. You convince them, you show them, you give them the information, you let them decide. If that was the case, I wouldn't have a problem with the vaccine. You can have it, you wanna take it, you think it saves your life, great, go for it. That's what it's there for.
You wanna take hepatitis B vaccine.
Just know that neither side has long-term data. I mean, we're starting to get some now, medium-term data, I guess I would say, and in my opinion, it's not good. But we don't have the long-term data. And that was one of my issues with Operation Warp Speed. It's like, wow, Warp Speed is just basically waving the safety drop. Right, and that natural unity.
It's not speeding up the deployment of the vaccine. It's just waving what was put there as a fail-safe to protect humanity. I want to kind of shift gears a little bit too, because I'm going to encourage everybody to read your book.
