Decide for yourself: Vaxxed film comes back to Northland

For immediate release – 2 May 2017

Decide for yourself: Vaxxed film comes back to Northland

After a year of requests for the film to come to New Zealand, the controversial documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe launched at a premiere in Auckland on 2nd April. Covert screenings around NZ have been listed on Eventbrite, with the locations of the theatre being kept secret until 3 hours before the film starts. After two sold out screenings with venue publicised beforehand at the Rialto Tauranga, more venues are now comfortable to have their details released.

Organiser Tricia Cheel announces the following screenings:

Summary for NORTHLAND

* WHANGAREI Monday 8th May 6-8:30pm - EVENT Cinema #4, 18 James St, Whangarei $10

* DARGAVILLE Friday 19th May 6-9pm - The Lighthouse $6

* KAITAIA Monday 22nd May 6-9pm (location - not revealed as yet) $6

* MAUNGATUROTO Thursday 25th May 7-9 pm - (location - not revealed as yet) $6

The film proposes a link between vaccines and autism and suggests a cover-up by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). So far there has been no legal action taken by the officials accused of doctoring the data, which suggests that there is some truth to the allegations.

The documentary is definitely emotive. And it is hard to not see some kind of connection when happy, engaged children are seen playing and interacting before being vaccinated, and empty and withdrawn afterwards.

There has been a 57% rise in autism cases in the USA between 2002 and 2006. In 2011, 1 in 110 children were diagnosed with autism with boys being 4 or 5 times more likely to develop the disease. “If the current trend of exponential growth rates in autism cases continues, one out of every two children and 80 percent of boys will have autism by the year 2032,” according to Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist in artificial intelligence at MIT.

Meanwhile in Italy in March 2016, an Italian court ruled that the mercury and aluminium in vaccines causes autism.

When U.K. parent Polly Tommey, co-producer of VAXXED, went on public television and asked if any other parents had a child who suffered autism symptoms after vaccination, like her son had, a quarter of a million parents contacted her.

VAXXED ambassador/ organiser for Northland, Tricia Cheel, received notification of her FREE flu vaccine waiting for her at her GP and is appalled that there is only the identification of the strains but no information of other ingredients nor the risks associated, and yet is required to spend 20 minute at the surgery after the shot.

That’s why she feels it’s so important we find out for ourselves since our GPs are not telling us and as VAXXED reveals even our GPs have been lied to about the tragic association of the MMR vaccine with autism.

Vaxxed was initially selected to premiere at Robert de Niro’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York last year, even be introduced by the acclaimed actor. But it was pulled at the last minute. Some might say, the director was swayed by big Pharma, others that Dr Andrew Wakefield, a key player in the film, was hailed as being fraudulent and his reputation dragged through the mud.

Does Big Pharma have so much power? It’s certainly something you will find yourself asking, along with other troubling questions that need to be answered, as quickly as possible. At the very least it is important for people to see this film and decide for themselves.

Decide for yourself: VAXXED! Returning to Northland this month.
