Important Book by Paul Offit

Paul Offit has made it his work to inform people of the benefits of vaccines and to dispel the idea that they are a cause of autism. Fear often becomes unreasonable and small facts become outlandish rumors that spread until everyone believes them. The danger in such things is when something as important as vaccines that have rid the world of some of the deadliest diseases become suspect due to a hypothesis not proven, or idea stated that became fact over time. When a pediatrician like Paul Offit spends years in his research and has worked alongside pharmaceutical companies to ensure the safety of their developments it is because he has a deep seated care for the welfare of his patients and the world community as a whole. In the past we put a lot of belief in our doctor's but in modern times it has become somewhat fashionable to question everything they do. While they are not all-knowing, and problems can arise it is important to trust the ideals and hard work that goes into developing cures and safeguards. If it weren't for the vaccines we have now our world would constantly be devoured by devastating plagues that only a few hundred years ago wiped out entire continents regularly. Reading the book and other works of Paul Offit can help put parent's minds at ease in the care of their children that can prevent devastating outbreaks.
