An Ounce of Prevention is a powerful and informative documentary film that explores the science, emotions, and politics of the long-standing children’s vaccine safety debate. 

Parents are beginning to question one of the greatest medical miracles of our century…vaccinations.  Are they crackpot parents or are they tenacious, spearheading heroes leading our medical society into a new era? 

History is unfolding before us as the filmmakers capture the controversial science and politics behind one of the most beneficial and profitable medical miracles…vaccines.  The emotions are real…the emotions are hot.  But do these emotions substantiate claims that vaccines cause a spectrum of chronic illnesses to autism? 

Some parents claim that their children got 

• autism
• type-1 diabetes
• learning disabilities
• developmental delays
• attention deficit disorder
• gastrointestinal dysfunction
• asthma
• a wide range of allergic responses

...from vaccinations. Are these illnesses tragic errors in medicine or scapegoat excuses?   Is this a national self-induced epidemic or a genetic epidemic...what kind of epidemic is it?  What do the scientists say?  What do the politicians say?  What do the teachers and special education teachers notice?

What happens if we do not vaccinate...what are the public health risks?  benefits?  This powerful documentary challenges both sides of the controversial issue.
