PHOENIX (KSAZ) - It's a movie that is not likely to make it into the top 10, but it's causing a stir in the medical community. It's called Vaxxed, From Cover Up to Catastrophe. Some doctors are going so far as to push for it to be removed from theaters.
The movie trailer for the film is ominous and intense as it promises to examine the CDC, MMR vaccines and child hood diseases like autism.
Valley Cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson has seen the movie. "I thought it was a very well-made film."
And Valley Pediatrician Dr. Sara Kertz is saying she will not see the film. "I don't have time to look at hocus pocus movies."
Many label the movie as anti-vaccination, under some pressure from the medical community Harkins Theaters pulled the film from it's Peoria theater and is only show it at Valley View in Tempe.
Wolfson says it's censorship and un-American.
"Clearly what this movie highlights is there are people who are vaccine injured, and there is fraud at the CDC," said Dr. Wolfson.
"I think misinformation out there does a disservice to your child and your entire world, vaccines are one of the most cost-effective health measures we've ever had, no question," said Dr. Kertz.
Wolfson insists the movie brings valuable information for parents.
"It's not an anti-vaccine movie, it's information about the fraud at the CDC, and the truth needs to come out," said Wolfson.
Kertz thinks it's dangerous and far from being a documentary, she's happy the film is not being shown widely.
"Movies don't always tell the truth, so putting things out there without the science to back them up is ridiculous," said Kertz.
Multiple studies have been done which show no link between vaccines and increased autism risks.
