The Greater Good (2011)

The Greater Good: Directed by Kendall Nelson, Chris Pilaro. The film looks behind the fear, hype and politics that polarize people into emotionally charged pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine camps with no room for middle ground. Verite stories of individuals and their families, whose lives have been forever changed by vaccine choices, interwoven with interviews from leading experts in the field, will re-frame the vaccine debate and offer, for the first time, the opportunity to have a rational, scientific and factual discussion on how to create a more effective vaccine program in America today.

“My girlfriend was an anti-vaxxer and i always thought it was so strange she took the most conspiratorial aspects to heart. This really broadens the subject to more concrete economical and political terms that are much more realistic. The science is what scares most people and the misunderstanding of it is what starts the crazies going. Presenting just the facts is enough and this film does that satisfactorily. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA lot of the reviews here are people with their own agenda and biases confirming their own stance and reinforcing their own established position. The video they are reviewing however is an attempt to provide an escape from that kind of thinking by presenting opportunities for each side to acknowledge and agree with each other. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI get it, a lot of people are just looking for attention but the fact of the matter is the issue exists and there are things people can do about it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo why not make things better for everyone?”
