http://thinktwice.com/Everyone has the right to his or her own opinion, and that include being vaccinated.
All medications and vaccinations DO have a risk, and YES they do help prevent, treat and manage
disease etc. But there will always be an element of the unknown risk, when taking or being given these
things.
My husband & I choose to have our daughter to be vaccinated because we did not want her to catch any
disease that could leave her maimed, disfigured or disabled, and it was the "right thing to do", and my
husband had nearly as a baby from what was a preventable disease, so we went with the vaccination.
The very first vaccine my daughter had, she had a fever for two days & was very grizzly, being new mum I
sort the opinion of the maternal health nurse who said it was normal. Her second vaccination, she
screamed all day and night, had a rash on her arm and vomited, I sort the opinion of our doctor, who
suspected she had a mild reaction to the vaccination or she must have been coming down with a cold.
Subsequent vaccinations, including flu etc, I asked if it was safe, I was told yes it is, and she would be
excluded from school etc if their was an out break of any disease, if she did not have it. So we had her
vaccinated, she ended up in casualty for several hours, because of an allergic reaction to the vaccine.
When it came time for her teenage vaccinations I spoke to her pediatrician, who said he would only have
it done under medical care in a children's hospital, (which is two hours away) due to her previous
problems. The hospital would not do it, despite my daughters pediatrician requesting it. So with the
pediatrician's permission we did not have it, because he believed that she would have some cover from
her earlier vaccinations, and he had to write a letter for her school. If we had other children we would have
been very cautious about vaccinations, and honestly we would have still had them done, but first sign of
trouble I would not have had any more.
A client of mine had two normal children boy and a girl, the boy being the older, her little had her first few
vaccinations and she cried for a few days, with a high temperature, rash etc. When she was due to have
18 month vaccination, she was able to walk, talk and was meeting all her developmental guidelines for her
age, when she had the vaccination she was hospitalized, having a seizure, rash etc, and started to loose
her ability to walk and talk etc (she has not had a seizure since, so its not epilepsy), this mother is
convinced the vaccination was responsible for her daughters Autism. Sadly I have met a few parents who
will relate similar stories.
I AM NOT saying that the vaccinations are responsible for causing Autism, but research depending on
who is funding the research say vaccinations may or may not cause autism or allergic reactions.
Another client who had a healthy baby boy, was a few weeks off from his first vaccination, sadly he caught
measles, because a family friend child had it and had not been vaccinated, on top of this he caught
meningitis while in hospital, this baby was left blind and intellectually disabled.
I am severely allergic to some vaccines such as flu vaccine, so when possible I hibernate during winter,
and my friends know not to come near me if they have the flu, as it may kill me due to a low immune
disorder. Flu's would not be a problem if people stayed home when they get the flu and not go to work etc
and give it to those can ill afford to get it.
Diseases are a problem because we can move more freely from place to place, country to country with
ease, and what people think to be nothing but a simple cold, could have the potential for a serious
disease out break. Vaccines can be beneficial, but there will always be the potential for the unknown risks
to having them.
That all being said it will always be the right of the person to be vaccinated or not, it should not be forced
on anyone. No surprise here.
The government spent billions to make sure our tv's were HD digital format. You don't think they
really care what our reception is like? No, maintaining the mind control box is crucial if not down right
a must.
The same can be applied to the chemical companies and all the voodoo they create. Ask yourself,
why would our own government make us take vaccinations if they don't work? Besides the obvious
that profit is the motive, do you really think they give a crap about our health? If they did, you
wouldn't find Monsanto, the FDA, and Big Pharma and other corporations, having their way with us.
Get educated, learn all that you can about how corrupt our government is...stop constantly whining
about how they could do this or why are they doing this...do some critical thinking. Learn about how
money works, not just how to cash a paycheck. Learn what fractionalized banking is, fiat money,
debt, credit and of course the private banking system led by the Federal Reserve. Unless people
become aware of reality, and not the Matrix illusion, they will continue to oppress, overtax, wiretap,
intrude, rape, torture, murder, enslave...all in the name of control and profit.
All those who think these people have your health in mind, raise your hand.
A free society cannot exist when government merges and colludes with corporate power. Be afraid
people, be very afraid. This collusion will spawn laws mandating everything from pregnant women
being forced to take anti-depressants, to mandated annual flu shots. Freedom, what freedom? on
Power - NEVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE. There is strength in numbers. There are some great sites
to sign petitions. www.healthfreedomusa.org is just one of them that has done lots of good. Use the
internet - it is a gift to get the word out. PLEASE don't throw in the towel or lay down in a state of
inaction. Putting passion behind a cause is infectious. Spread the word! We CAN win this. Thank
you, Dr. Mercola, for taking on this important subject and educating your readers. Vaccines are
dangerous and detremental; they overwhelm the young immune system and invade the body with
unnecessary toxins.
Another point: We can't "prevent" the flu; colds and flu are a way the body build immunity and
cleans out the system of toxins. We don't need to stop everything! The body is smart. It has fevers
for a reason, we have the common cold (yes, it's miserable) for a reason. The body never lies and it
never does anything randomly or by accident. Ease your symptoms for your comfort as your body
works through these times, but support what your body is trying to accomplish and help it along -don't attempt to overrule it. Also - heed the message behind the symptoms and adjust your life
accordingly. That's true health care!
o you want to tell me which President in the last several decades at least, that wasn't tied into big
business? Who was in office when it became possible for pharma to advertise on TV? Would things
really be that different if McCain had been elected. REALLY? We need to somehow break away from
the current election process that allows big business to buy the race. Somehow, we need to wake up
the apathetic and get our democracy back. In the homeland security bill Bush signed, one measure
legally shields drug companies already sued over ingredients used in vaccines. The governor of
Texas, Rick Perry, issued an executive order mandating vaccination against HPV (Gardisil) which
was later overturned by the Texas legislature. Through lobbying efforts, Merck suggested that
governments make vaccination with Gardasil mandatory for school attendance. At 72 years old, I am
now considered 'elderly'. Living in Scotland in 'the war years', all children were given free cod liver oil
(Vitamin D), free orange juice concentrate (Vitamin C), and free milk. When I arrived in Australia with
my 4 children, there was free milk at school which was discontinued by the late 70s. Instead of
pushing flu vaccines, why doesn't the government provide these nutrients for our children; or is this
going backwards? I believe that our governing bodies are themselves being governed at global
level.I remember the Pan Pharmaceuticals debacle a few years ago. The more dependent we are,
the better 'they' like it! You really think a 2.5 trillion dollar health budget, including the Cancer
Industrial Complex, is interested in making people healthy which would cut into profits?
The chemical companies were responsible for World War II and they continue to control our lives.
One problem is, thinking that the government should take care of us or they have a solution.
Believing that Washington should do anything besides collect taxes, protect us, and run the
government, is one of the reasons we're in this predictment.

seem to miss so much of the point. Pick a vaccine of your choice and read the list of ingredients. I do
not want to be forced to inject that stuff into my body or the bodies of my family. And, I don't even
want to think about money grubbing companies tinkering with DNA and viruses in order to come up
with these vaccines they're trying to force on us. We really don't understand DNA and all that is
involved with it's workings. Best analogy I can think of is someone who thinks they are capable of
flying the space shuttle, because they just got their auto license Of all the places $2 billion in
government funds could be spent, using it to bring flu vaccines to market faster may be
one of the most wasteful uses of that amount of money to date. One dramatic example
is the flu shot, which has been proven ineffective time and time again, not to mention
the myriad of side effects, some serious, that they cause every year.
If the U.S. government really wanted to make a dent in flu cases this fall and winter,
they would put that money toward a massive public education campaign on
the importance of optimizing your vitamin D levels.
Now that would be a strategy that would not only dramatically decrease the flu but also
help save lives that are being lost prematurely from a completely preventable condition:
vitamin D deficiency.
The government has once again pledged their allegiance to the vaccine makers, and
will be supporting them full force this flu season, as they do every year.
What You Need to Know Before the Flu Shot Campaigns Begin
This year the vaccine manufacturers are making up to 165 million doses of flu vaccine -more than ever before. To use up this unprecedented supply, the U.S. Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging all Americans over 6 months to get
vaccinated, unless they have an allergy to eggs or other limited conditions.
Thats right. Every man, woman and child is expected to line up and roll up their sleeve
for the flu shot which this year contains a mix of three strains of flu -- H1N1 (swine
flu), H3N2 (a new variant of seasonal flu) and influenza B.
This is important information to know, because if you had doubts about receiving the
experimental swine flu shot last season, it is now being automatically dished out with
every flu vaccine in the United States.
Already, Australia has banned this years flu vaccine for children under the age of 5 due
to an unusually high number of children suffering adverse effects such as vomiting,
spiking a high fever, and convulsions.
Peter Collignon, professor of infectious diseases at the Australian National University,
has also gone on record stating that a recent clinical trial uncovered issues with the
swine flu vaccine -- adverse effects that are identical to those suffered by the Australian
children who reacted to the seasonal vaccine.
Sweden and Finland also recently sounded the alarm because young patients
suddenly developed the sleeping disorder narcolepsy after being vaccinated with the
H1N1 swine flu vaccine. France, Germany and Norway are now also tallying cases, and
the EU has launched an investigation.
But children aren't the only group that seem to react more violently to the trivalent
vaccine that contains the H1N1 component.
In the United States, a special government committee has been created to investigate
last year's H1N1 monovalent vaccine for signs that it may be associated with a higher
rate of certain kinds of reactions. What the committee found out provisionally is that
there were three signs of trouble with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine used last year.
Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, explained:
"One was Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), which we know has been associated with
influenza vaccine since 1976 when the first swine flu vaccine was used. There is [also]
a sign of a blood disorder called thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is when your
blood cannot produce enough platelets. It's an autoimmune type reaction.
The other is Bell's palsy. That's a facial paralysis. It's a neuroimmune reaction.
The government is saying they don't know if these are true signals or not, but there
were some red flags that were raised."
Unfortunately, instead of using the $2 billion in funding for further testing to make sure
the vaccine is safe considering blatant red flags have already been raised, the
government is moving full-steam ahead with their plans for a three-in-one flu shot this
season, and is even paying the drug companies to figure out how to bring it out even
faster.
Youve probably already seen the signs at your local drug store advertising theyre here
and this is only the beginning.
All the Risk for No Benefit?

You should know that anytime you receive a flu shot, you are taking a risk. In order to
get the perceived benefit that you or your family is being protected from the flu (which is
only a perception, as Ill explain below), you are being injected with numerous
substances even above and beyond the three flu viruses -- substances with known risks
to your health.
Toxic substances found in various flu vaccines include:
Dangerous levels of mercury in the form of thimerosal, a deadly preservative that

is 50 times more toxic than regular mercury
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Formaldehyde a known cancer-causing agent
Neomycin and streptomycin (antibiotics)
Aluminum -- a neurotoxin linked to Alzheimers disease
Polysorbate 80 (Tween80) which can cause severe allergic reactions,

including anaphylaxis
Phenol (carbolic acid)
Resin and gelatin - known to cause allergic reactions
Triton X100 (detergent)
So every year that you get a flu shot, you are taking a risk that one or more of these
substances, or the flu viruses themselves, will cause a problem in your body.
The payoff you get for taking this risk?
Well, the pharmaceutical industry would love for you to believe that the flu vaccine is
going to somehow magically protect you from dying from the flu.
But in fact the evidence couldn't be clearer -- the flu vaccine doesn't work at all in the
elderly, and the data is flimsy at best when it comes to children and adults. In other
words, youre taking all the risk for little to no benefit.
For instance, one recent review looked at the effectiveness of immunizing nursing-home
workers to protect the elderly in their care. After reviewing five studies conducted
between 1997 and 2009, the results show the vaccination campaigns had NO
EFFECT on the number of confirmed influenza cases.
The researchers also concluded that vaccinating staff has no proven impact on reducing
the number of related pneumonia cases, or pneumonia-linked deaths -- which, by the
way, accounts for the vast majority of what the CDC counts as flu deaths.
Said lead researcher Dr. Roger Thomas:
"What troubled us is that [shots] had no effect on laboratory-confirmed influenza.
What we were looking for is proof that influenza ... is decreased. Didn't find it.
We looked for proof that pneumonia is reduced. Didn't find it.
We looked for proof deaths from pneumonia are reduced. Didn't find it."
This is only one example of many. Study after study continue to show that flu vaccines
are virtually useless for preventing illness and mortality from the flu, and you can read
about five more such examples here.
Lets Get Real: Heres What You Really Need to Do to Prevent the Flu
There is a massive attempt to defraud and deceive people to generate profits from flu
vaccines, and the U.S. government is helping to fund and promote this system.
Fortunately, we are able to penetrate this veil of misinformation, as we did so effectively
last year during the swine flu campaign. Last year the United States contracted for the
manufacture of over 170 million doses of swine flu vaccine. Probably the most
significant accomplishment of this Web site was that we were able to contribute to the
fact that only 90 million doses were used in the United States.
This year, we want to start early by warning people about the new plan ... and the safer
alternative so the number of people exposed to potentially harmful and useless flu
vaccines drops even lower.
I urge you to take your time and really make an informed decision before you rush to get
this years flu shot for yourself or your family, and while youre at it, tune in to the latest
studies on vitamin D, which are strengthening the evidence that it is a potent preventive
measure against colds and influenza.
There is so much compelling evidence that I believe optimizing your vitamin D levels is
one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, including the flu.
As one recent study showed, a group of children taking vitamin D3 was 58 percent less
likely to catch influenza A. That's a higher effectiveness than any flu vaccine can claim,
and doesn't come with a barrage of potentially devastating side effects!
Most children, teens, adults and elderly in the United States are vitamin D deficient,
especially during the winter months when sun exposure is at a minimum for many. So I
urge you to get your and your children's vitamin D levels tested, and if found
deficient, follow my recommendations for optimizing your levels.
Do this, and youll all be far less likely to catch any cold or flu this year.
So lets get the word out. Ditch the flu vaccine and optimize vitamin D instead.
National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but
vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your
action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal
right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are
being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade
associations, and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators
to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.

Share Your Story With the Media and People You Know
If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury, or
death, please talk about it. If we don't share information and experiences with
one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to
the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in
your local newspaper. Make a call in to a radio talk show that is only
presenting one side of the vaccine story.
I must be frank with you; you have to be brave because you might be strongly
criticized for daring to talk about the "other side" of the vaccine story. Be
prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our
perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination, will the public
conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about
it.
We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded
by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing
list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination.
The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing
more than "statistically acceptable collateral damage" of national one-size-fitsall mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for
injury and death. We shouldn't be treating people like guinea pigs instead
of human beings.

Connect With Your Doctor or Find a New One That Will Listen and Care
If your pediatrician or doctor refuses to provide medical care to you or your

child unless you agree to get vaccines you don't want, I strongly encourage
you to have the courage to find another doctor. Harassment, intimidation, and
refusal of medical care is becoming the modus operandi of the medical
establishment in an effort to stop the change in attitude of many parents about
vaccinations after they become truly educated about health and vaccination.
However, there is hope.
At least 15 percent of young doctors recently polled admit that they're starting
to adopt a more individualized approach to vaccinations in direct response to
the vaccine safety concerns of parents.
It is good news that there is a growing number of smart young doctors, who
prefer to work as partners with parents in making personalized vaccine
decisions for children, including delaying vaccinations or giving children fewer
vaccines on the same day or continuing to provide medical care for those
families, who decline use of one or more vaccines.
So take the time to locate a doctor, who treats you with compassion and
respect, and is willing to work with you to do what is right for your child.

wish I knew what I know now. My son had a DPT shot at 6months, later on that day he had about 10
seizures, was hospitalized for 2 weeks. He was never the same after those seizures. He stopped
crawling, stop holding his bottle, stop smiling. He was diagnosed with autism at the age 2. My son is
now 20, and still have seizures once in a while. He is my only child. I just could not handle going
through this ever again. I also wish that I knew what I know now back when I vaccinated my children.
I am a homeschooling mom to 4 kiddos. My daughter was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata (it's now
Alopecia Totallis) when she was 3. I had figured out there could be a link to this as it coincided with
a dose of immunizations. When I found out I was pregnant with #4, my husband and I both agreed
not to vaccinate as we had stopped all with our others. Well the hospital administered the hep B
without our consent. At about 6 days of age our son developed round bald patches (not normal
infant balding), that's when I looked at the immunization card and noticed what had happened.
Thank god his condition cleared up with the use of elidel. After reporting both of my children's
reactions to immunizations, I was told that this is becoming more common and was advised not to
immunize my chilren. She also went onto say that I needed to make my children aware in the future
when they have children. She also informed me that they are discovering that immunizations don't
immunize some people. I am one of those. I had my mmr twice as a child, yet when I had my first
daughter I showed no immunity. They convinced me to get another and I still show no immunity. It's
sad that something has to happen before you get all of the info! If they had fully disclosed all
information I never would have immunized from day 1. Yes, Like you I have 5 children and I home
educated all of them but I had the blessing to learn about vaccines back in the 1970's before I had
my children. I have been passionately researching (27 years) and educating parents about the
dangers of vaccines for last 15 years and I released DVD called,
"Are Vaccines Safe?" Dr. Joe just sent it out to all on his newsletter 2 weeks ago and now almost
70,000 people have viewed it!!!! Thank You Dr. Joe and please let everyone know my web site for
more information on vaccines is www.childhoodshots.com Thank You, Mary Tocco
Each and every year our children's school requires that we sign a waiver to indicate that we are
refusing to vaccinate our children. If we don't, they can't attend school.
Public Health officials and the CDC need to grow a brain. It's obvious they can't due to their
vaccination protocols, which in reality damage the brain. Last time I was a my doctor's office, the
first thing out of the receptionists mouth was, "Do you want to get your flu vaccine today?"
We will never have our children vaccinated, nor will my wife or I get a vaccine.
I get so distraught at the f--ing of America, sometimes I just want to leave.
If you find an island someplace with all the modern conveniences that we have learned to love and
feel we need with no political hogwash disrupting lives--better keep it a secret, because we will all be
on your tail following you.--LOL
Learning to be happy and satisfied where ever we are at, no matter who is throwing how much dung
at us is not easy.
Congratulations on learning from your parent's health problems and working to make sure it doesn't
happen to you. Don't let the door hit us on the way out? Are you serious? Ironic that you'd "defend"
this country by going against one of it's most important principles... that of free speech and our right
to express dissent. I guess you think our founding fathers, when they were tired of living under
England's corruption, should've just shut up and gone elsewhere, not letting the door hit them in the
a** on the way out? Thomas Jefferson said "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on
certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive."
If you think this is the best country on earth, GREAT! Enjoy. For those of us who think it could be
even better, well, there's nothing wrong with that either.
Deadhead,
You forget that our founding fathers, being so sick of the corruption in England DID go elsewhere that elsewhere is the US.
We have drifted so far from our founding father's vision that a lot of us wonder if we can ever get it
back.
First of all do no harm is the first premise of the Hypocratic oath. It's too bad that our medical
community is brainwashed by those who care first about profits, and secondarily about the same. ery
interesting , but what would you do if you are mother of a two months old child? What wuld be the
wisest thing to do not to harm your baby ? Wisest thing to do is to educate yourself fully on the
vaccines. I have never received the flu shot, nor will my daughter. The others, unfortunately, I have
given my daughter per the long arm of the law. I do not wish to homeschool my girl, so I face the
unfortunate "Texan govt. knows more B.S." Drdani52
I can only share my experience with you. Throughout my pregnancy of my first child, the person I
had to fight was my husband. He had grown up with the allopathic paradigm and thought we HAD to
vaccinate our children. I started by providing him with information and books such as"The
immunization decision" and others. This was back in 1993-1994 when there wasn't as much info
and we didn't have the internet. After he supported my decision, his parents were aghast.
However, we have never regretted it. We have supplied the private pre- schools and schools with
the immunization exemption form annually. The state of Ohio requires only the paperwork to be on
file for each child, not the actual vaccine(s) but the public schools don't tell you that. We actually
used the "religious" exemption one year when our children were in a religious school!
So dr dani, the decision is yours but it should be an informed decision. Knowledge is power. I'm new
to the site. I have an excellent brochure on the flu shot. I give it to all my patients on why they
should NOT get the flu shot. If anyone wants a copy just email your address and I'll have my front
desk mail one out to you. Roistchiro@aol.comEducate yourself for your childs sake! I have a 3 year
old that you would have to kill me before you could ever shot up with toxic noxiuos chemicals. We
eat organic foods, use homeopathic medicine and see some-one for bio-energetic resynchronizing.
Yes it is expensive but our quality of life is worth every penny. We will never surcome to the
business of sickness and disease. Think Quantum! 2,
I was the mother of a 2 months old baby 22 years ago and succumbed to the family pressure to
vaccinate. I delayed the shot to 3 months but after giving in I was confronted by a child that
screamed solidly for 3 days (normally a very placid baby) he also had a fever and the lump in his
arm was at least an inch across and hard and lasted for more than 3 months, fortunately for him and
us there were no known no lasting effects. I was told that this was a normal reaction, however I then
educated myself and had no further vaccinations on him or his 2 younger siblings. As they grew
none of them had any asthma or excema that all their cousins have and they rarely had any illness
while I had control over their diets. When they became teenagers and had their own money or
friends who bought them junk food was the only time that they had illnesses. My daughter got
glandular fever when she was in grade 10 but that is the only major illness that we have faced with
all three.
In Australia it is possible to attend public schools without vaccination, though I believe they are
making it more difficult for parents. The schools can ask for non vaccinated children to be removed
in an epidemic for their own protection but I have never seen this at work. But even this seems a
contradiction cause if the vaccinations really work why do the vaccinated children succumb to the
diseases they have had shots against?
I have friends whose 2 week old baby nearly died of whooping cough. Investigation was done to find
the source, the baby's brother had contracted it from a friend at school who was fully vaccinated so
go figure.
My heart goes out to each of the people here who have reported severely dam

of us.
please read more on Mercola's website to educate yourself on vaccines. After doing so, I seriously
doubt you will want to inject yourself, or your children with any of those toxic chemicals.
To all others, here is a state by state breakdown of vaccine exemption allowances:
nvic.org/.../state-exemptions.htm
DrDani, Texas is great for vaccine rights. You can exempt for Medical, religious, and/or philosophical
reasons!
The trick is this, in most of these states (if not all) you have to have your exemption filed with the
appropriate parties! Usually, that just means the school you are attending. You may need to have
the form notarized as well (like I had to in Georgia).
You are not at all obligated to vaccinate in Texas. There is a form you can submit to Austin stating
your religious or moral opposition. Here is the link:
www.vaclib.org/.../texas.htm
Do NOT subject your kids to any more mercury, aluminum and monkey bits.
To TX poster- TX allows waivers for vaccines, as do most or all states.
To Dr.daniHow can you not harm your baby? Don't give the vaccines or delay them, and eliminate thermisol
completely. The purposed benefits of vaccines are NOT worth the risk when talking about a TWO
MONTH OLD.
I vaccinated my first, but on a delayed schedule. She was born two months prematurely, and my
pediatrician agreed with the delay. She has Asperger Syndrome, but I believe it is unrelated to the
vaccines. I also delayed my second child, who developed normally up until her 12 month shots,
when she became non verbal and reclusive. A previously happy and social child preferred to stay in
her crib for 20 hours a day.
Her younger sister also regressed after vaccinations. So, with my fourth I let them give her only part
of the vaccines. She became very ill with her 4 month vaccines. Again at 6 months she had only
part of the vaccines and she again became very ill. Both times she was ill for nearly two months,
with various symptoms such as high fevers, strange rashes, high pitched crying, ear infections, ect
but the Drs (I saw several) insisted that it is NORMAL for children to be sick all the time. according
to them the change in symptoms indicated the good news that her immune system DID fight them
off, although she was constantly ill. My children are not in day care and I breastfeed, ect- it is NOT
normal for us. So, I haven't vaccinated her in 6 months and although she has caught a couple of
colds they have been short lived and mild. I later discovered that one or more of the vaccines she
was given were recalled!
What's really scary- the DRs did not view the illnesses as vaccine related therefore it was never
reported. The stats for the vaccines are totally skewed because Drs are not reporting problems with
the vaccines. We don't even know how many children may have fallen ill or died because of the
'preventives' that are forced on us!
My daughter was 47 days old when my pediatrician talked me into vaccinating her against my better
judgement. However, stuck in that small exam room with a crying baby - I allowed the doctor to
substitute his judgement for my own. It was and is the biggest mistake of my life. I had been
informed of some problems with vaccinations (20/20 did a 40 minute segment two months before
she was born), and my older child had a pretty severe reaction (only later did I learn his reaction
should have contraindicated any further doses). My daughter was in severe reaction within an hour
of her first vaccines and died two days later. The medical examiner initially ruled SIDS because he'd
not been given information on what happened to her in the 48 hours between the shot and her
death. He was a tremendously honest doctor and when I was allowed to meet with him, he redid the
autopsy using slides from retained tissue samples from her heart, kindeys, brain and other organs.
When he knew what he was looking for, he found it - swelling of the brain and in particular, swelling
of the lining surrounding the brain. He also found vaccine pooled in her heart tissue.
Sabra would be 23 this April, had she lived. I had an older and younger son - but my dreams of a
daughter were ended by her first dose of DPT and oral polio vaccines.
EDUCATE YOURSELF and do not allow any other person to decide for you. I saw that someone
had recommended the National Vaccine Information Center - and I whole heartedly concur. That is
a resource of which every new parent should avail themselves.
When my daughter was 4 she contracted Lyme disease form a tick bite. When I took her in for her
"yearly exam" the pediatrician came in with three filled syringes, ready to give her the "required"
vaccines. When I argued that she should not have them because of her current bacterial infection
the doctor balked and scared me into thinking that she needed them even more, because being so
ill, if she was exposed to any dreaded disease she could not fight it on her own. After a 5 minute
argument, she convinced me that the "best" thing for my daughter was giving her the vaccines, I
finally agreed, thinking I had no choice.
Well, my poor baby screamed (a weird, high pitched shreak) all night, had a high fever (of course I
was told Tylenol every 3 hours), turned bright red all over her neck and chest and the next day she
began hand flapping and squalking like a bird. She had NEVER done this before.
The squaking and flapping, unfortunately, became permanent. She would sit in the corner and
squalk and squeek and flap her hands and feet like a bird for hours at a time, until she exhausted
herself.
She is now 11 and is finally starting to grow out of what they called "Tourette's Syndrome". Be
warned...not only do the vaccines cause Autism it can also cause Tourettes Syndrome like
symptoms. No more vaccines for my family. I don't care what the government says. My husband is
arming himself (legally). Just let our state TRY to poison my children again. There has to be a
revolution in this country before more innocent children are harmed.
Since I live in Texas and have two children in public school, YES, there is a philosophical exemption!
And you have to sign and notarize the form every two years. My husband talked me into immunizing
our first child at the age of two. She had a fever and cried for hours - she had always been a happy
child. We decided that we wouldn't do it again except for an emergency. Then our second child
stepped on a rusty nail(at the age of four) and we decided to allow the DPT for her. The first shot
was fine as it was given in the leg and she "walked it out". The follow-up shot was given in her arm.
Her little arm swelled up and she had the two-and-a-half-inch-across red circle that lasted for three
months. She now has Celiac's Disease, which she did not have before. Our other three children
have never and will never have immunizations. If the doctor balks, assert your rights as the parent. If
your in-laws fuss, let them; they aren't raising your child. Toxic chemicals have no place in the body. I
would rather have my child die of a disease than to live with a damaged brain. At least I could say
that the Lord decided to take my child, not that I had allowed my child to be severely hurt or killed. I
have 3 teenagers. All have been vaccinated. One has ADHD, Asthma, Severe milk allergy, and
Asperger Symptoms. One has severe autism, non verbal and will need care all of his life. Both are
boys. My daughter who is 14 has allergies and some milder issues. We spaced her vaccines and
skipped a few later on.
We had a surprise baby who is now 2 1/2. She is unvaccinated. She has NO issues. She is healthy
and much more interactive and ahead in her speech and development. She will never be
vaccinated. My only regret is that I vaccinated my other three. I had no idea............
Wow..exhaustive info. Glad to see it is in the forefront. Folks need to wise up. An ENTIRE
generation is now brain damaged because 1 in 150 babies develop autism. What is going to
happen to our country when those children are adults?? Who will run the country, industry,
churches, homes?? Who will care for these brain damaged adults when their parents are
gone??
This is the reason why we all needed to be so concerned about what happened to Terri
Schindler Sciavo. The autistic children of today may be the court ordered executions of
tomorrow. Thankfully there is Dr M leading the charge of TRUTH and information!!

God bless you all and Dr. Mercola.

I feel reinspired that there are many of you who educate yourselves.
When will everyone finally come to realize that vaccines are dangerous and toxic and stand
up to the Big Pharm?
As someone who has been damaged by the flu vaccine, it is great to read why the damage occured.
Amazing what they forget to tell you as they are giving the flu vaccine.
I was arguing with a doctor about the flu vaccine at a super bowl party. I won, I knew far more than
he did about the statistics and studies. I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and thank all of you, especially
Dr. Mercola, for all of these articles on vaccinations. I feel that I'm getting the right information at the
right time. Even though I expect to get a certain about of trouble from people for my health
conscience choices- This is my first child and its every mothers hope to have a happy and healthy
newborn. With the articles you all have contributed, I am so grateful to be warned about the dangers.
Thanks. My husband and I found out the hard way what tragic harm immunizations can do. Our 4
month old died less than 24 hours after his shots. Of course his death was ruled as SIDS but I know
exactly what killed him. When you have a healthy, happy baby that had never been sick, was breast
fed, that all of a sudden dies there's a little more to it then the doctors want you to believe.
No one wil ever convince me that our son died of natural causes....the shots killed him.

I am the mother of a child that suffered a catastrophic vaccine injury after his 2 month vaccinations.
He was admitted to the hospital with massive bleeding in the brain with no signs of trauma or abuse,
however, we were then investigated for Shaken Baby Syndrome. Thankfully, after transferring him
to a world reknowned pediatric neurosurgeon we were exonerated from these horrific allegations.
My son is now 12, and severely disabled. We have done all the traditional therapies as well as
alternative medicine and he is making improvements but it has been slow. His pediatrician has
medically exempted him from all future vaccines and I have chosen not to further vaccine my older
son who 16. I am done with this human experiment! I trusted my son's pediatrician - and gave my
first son vaccines in the fifties. Every time he was given shots...his temperature went up to 106
degrees. He screamed for 16 hours...and I walked with him in my arms praying for his life. He was
very damaged by those shots...I was a very trusting young mother trying to do what I thought, was
right.
For the past 47 years, I have been warning others...not to be so trusting. My son survived, but I
know others who weren't so lucky. There is a very good book written by Dr. Robert Mendelsohn
(who was a pediatrician over 30 years). It is still available. "How to Raise A Healthy Child: In Spite
of Your Doctor!"
Dr. Mendelsohn was going to write the foreword for a manuscript that I had written entitled: "How to
Raise an Organic Baby." However, since I didn't have a doctorate...it wasn't published. Dr.
Mendelsohn was one of the most courageous doctors I have ever met. He was willing to tell it...like
it is.
How I wish we knew what we know now about vaccines and the problems they cause. My five-yearold started seeing spots all the time after the MMR booster. My 12-year-old started stuttering at 10years of age. I have since read an article that usually boys will develop neurological problems later
in life. He always got sick when he had the vaccines. I have brought my five-year-old to two np's.
One did a hair analysis and the other did muscle response testing and said it was mercury. I wish
we had a doctor like Dr. Mercola somewhere near. The five-year-old had an MRI that showed brain
inflammation. We have made some major diet changes - the Feingold diet and have seen a big
improvement. We will continue to pray that the Lord can restore my children. AND THERE IS MUCH
MORE YOU CAN DO TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE AS YOU READ......YOUR INNATE
ABILITY TO "INTENT" THAT THE TRUTH REGARDING ALL VACCINES WILL BE EXPOSED IS
YOUR GREATEST TOOL TO ASSIST DR. MERCOLA'S EFFORT TO SAVE OURSELVES AND
OUR CHILDREN FROM THE GREED INFESTED IN CORPORATE AMERICA AND
ELSEWHERE...IF ENOUGH PEOPLE USE THEIR MIND ON A DAILY BASIS, THE CORRUPTION
WILL BE HALTED, BECAUSE AS THE SAYING GOES...THE UNIVERSE ARRANGES ITSELF TO
ACCOMODATE YOUR PICTURE OF REALITY....BEGIN HERE: I intent that the truth be told to the
American public regarding all vaccines:their history, the adverse reactions they have caused any
child ever, the deaths they may have caused, the diseases they have created and the diseases such
as SIDS which they may be responsible for. I intent that the information that the pharmaceutical
companies are aware of regarding vaccines be exposed to the public. I intent that all coverups, lies,
distortions, false studies, etc. regarding vaccines be told to the public on a natiional scale. I intent
that the vaccine companies are held responsible for all of the harm that they may have brought to
any child, let's say that again....ANY CHILD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHOOSEN TO DISTORT THE
TRUTH IN ANY MANNER THAT THEY DESIRE. I let God guide this truth. In the name of God I
intent that ALL TRUTHS REGARDING VACCINES ARE BROUGHT INTO THE PUBLIC EYE AND
ANY CORRUPTION IS IMMEDIATELY HALTED AND THE COMPANIES HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DAMAGE THEY CAUSED......SO BE IT....Bless the babies and Dr. Mercola for his
continuing work and devotionMy g'son was 2 mos premature. My daughter insisted on no vaccinesnot even the rsv. He is now 16 1/2 mos and has barely even had a cold while everyone else around
him has been very sick with resp infections, etc. We're in NWIndiana- the air can be terrible with
steel mills and loads of chemtrails. Our family uses homeopathic, and herbal remedies when
needed, rather than pharmaceuticals. I have even treated a brown recluse spider bite with great
success and quickly with oregano oil. Other members of our family have commented that our g'son
is the healthiest baby they have ever seen. He is still breastfed and his family eats organically as
much as possible. I would strongly urge anyone to reconsider getting vaccinations! Vaccinations are
not for our health. They are part of a globalist agenda to depopulate and have control over a dumbed
down population. Now having said that everyone will think I'm the crazy one. BTW, there are plenty
of others who believe this to be true and they are well documented. Do the research. There are
plenty of sites showing the globalist agendas, vaccinations is just one facet. It's interesting to see the
difference between my kids and their cousin in development and social abilities. My kids weren't
vaccinated as babies - my oldest (4) got some of the vaccines after age 2 and the youngest (almost
3) hasn't had any - and my nephew was. He's in between my two girls in age. My youngest uses full
sentences and has an incredibly active imagination. My nephew uses individual words but doesn't
even answer direct questions half the time.
We eat whole foods with very little processed food. My in-laws eat a lot of stuff out of boxes.
When are we going to start callling them what they are? Population control, a way to thin out the
heard. I do appreciate what you guys are doing, speaking out against the machine, but why all the
beating around the bush? Vaccines were desinged to kill us, not to help us. KurtHi everyone! My
wife just gave birth to a beautiful girl ( my second one ) And we are plannig not to put any vaccines
at all. I have a friend of mine whom after giving his child the 2nd set of vaccines had a reaction and
his child seizured about 5 times a day at the beggining. Then a neurologist gave the baby some pills
so that the seizures wil come down; but they didnt. The child was taken to a alternative medicine
practitioner in PR and with vitamin and natural stuff the child is down to a seizure every 4 or 5 days.
The neurologist told my friend that HE COULD NOT VACCINATE EVER AGAIN HIS CHILD; IF
EVERY CHILD RUNS THE SAME RISK OF MY FRIENDS CHILD, WHY SHOULD WE VACCINATE
AT ALL? THE GOVERMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHAT WE DO WITH OUR CHILDREN.
I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE A DEMOCRACY? I THANK GOD FOR THIS KIND OF COMMUNITY;
YOU GUYS DONT KNOW HOW MUCH INFLUENCE AND HOW MANY LIVES YOU'VE HELPED!
GOD BLESS US ALL! AMEN. PS. THANKS DR. MERCOLAWe do NOT live in a democracy. We
live in a REPUBLIC...that's why we are supposed to have the freedoms they are trying to take away
from usI will applaud the person or persons that actually reform the FDA, AMA and ADA. Since the
drug companies took over medicine and medical schools these organizations no longer have the
public's welfare in mind. There have been so many "cures" that have been suppressed, so many
medicines that maime or kill released and so much junk put into our food that I'm surprised so many
of us have survived. The immune system seems to be a real workhorse that is becomeing over
worked.
I am dismayed that because my dentist father was hoodwinked, I actually circulated petitions to
floridate the water - and the messure passed. If we had only been informed.
thanks foxtrotter,
since i can't go back and undo the few vaccines i have had. how do i correct the damage that might
have been done? i will not have anymore for sure! thanks foxtrotter,

your metabolic aging and reversing damage down by things we all did unknowingly at earlier times in
our life. Smile each time you eat a balanced meal. Smile each time you wake up refreshed from
having gone to bed on time in a darkened room. Smile each time you finish exercising. Smile each

products etc. . .. Smile each time you swallow your fish oil.
My bet is you have lots to smile at in your life. Each day we work to do things that allow us to smile
at ourselves more and more.
Though each day we genetically age, we can choose to slow down and even reverse metabolic

My son was overdosed on vaccines. I've mentioned it on this blog before. We are doing 2 things to
reverse the damage done at the mitochondria level in the cell.
1- We have him on 2 products by Nutrapathic NUTRAMUNE and RESTORE. This was formulated
specifically to reverse the cellular damage at the DNA level. Our friend helps formulate these
products and does bloodtesting in the home, teaching us to read our own blood tests.
2- We took our son to an ND in South Dakota. She has worked with many cases around the country
successfully. He is on a formula called Stem Enhance which also helps to reverse the damage at
the cellular level. He has a scan done in her office that shows the problems and shows the
remedies that will balance him out.

Blessings,
Carol can see how the nasal flu vaccine would be extremely dangerous. You're snorting live viruses
into your brain! I think I will pass!
And what about autism, ADHD and learning disabilities? Considering most babies receive 22
vaccinations in the first two years now, it's easy to see how the vaccinations could play an important
role in learning disabilities! Their liver isn't fully functioning until they are 4 years old! And their
immune systems aren't mature enough to handle the flood of live viruses forced into their systems.
I still think the formulators of these vaccines should have to drink the vaccines to prove their safety!
I can't understand what's going on in the medical profession. They know how the immune system
works-namely by using encoded messages via glycoproteins on cell surfaces. Glycoproteins are
capable of encoding hundreds of thousands of different messages, this is why the immune system
can be so effective, if the body is provided with the right minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals.
Harper's Biochemistry lists eight known monosaccharides commonly found in human glycoproteins
which are known to be important to the healthy functioning of the human body. These are:
galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, fucose, N_acetylgalactosamine, Nacetylglucosamine and xylose. These eight come from a over 200 monosaccharides found in
nature. Glycoproteins are cell-surface messengers that facilitate good communication between
cells. They are essential for proper functioning of immune response. Given this information why
does the medical establishment persist with the quackery of vaccination. They should be
encouraging people to take in these vital components in their diet. After all crocodiles have never
been given vaccinations and yet they have spectacular immune systems. They can live in fetid pools
with a limb torn off which never goes septic. They have been around for 400 million years, so they
have had a while to develop the most efficient immune system in the animal kingdom. If we keep
mucking about with our immune systems we will surely pay a bigger and bigger price. If you wish
more info on glycoproteins go to www.glycoscience.coTo the mom of the two month old, the best
thing you can do to protect your daughter is NOT VACCINATE HER. Do you think that humans
would have survived as a species this long if vaccines were the answer? No. Do you think our health
today is BETTER than it was 150 years ago? I know I don't.
As for the depression thing, I am tired of the overhype of this as though it were a disease. Please
read some books on this, from the "anti" psychiatry side. Yes, we need to get rid of toxins, but we

moms and babies - it's at www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-the-dangerous-and-invasive-mothers-act
And breastfeed your babies. Don't rely on vaccines to keep them well. Oh yeah, and don't stick them
around sick people if you can help it. It's called a contagious disease for a reason.
Mom to two boys, one vaccinated for 12 months out of ignorance, the other, totally shot-free and

I have 4 children, ages 16, 10, 6, and 3. My oldest was harmed by vaccines at age 5 (kindergarten
boosters), when her dpt shot was administered incorrectly to her legs (I was since told by numerous
physicians that dpt shots should NEVER be given in the legs of a child who is already walking). In
fewer than 24 hours after the shot, she nearly could not stand. When she tried, her knees seemed
to bend backwards, and she would scream in pain. I never allowed her to have another vaccine
after that. She had pain in her leg joints for years afterward.
My second child was born 10 months after this incident. My husband was too afraid not to have the
vaccines, regardless of how strongly I felt that we not do it. We went ahead. After the 3rd set of
vaccines, my son was never the same. He did not develop Autism thankfully, but he started
screaming that day, and continued to scream for 5 months. His personality was never the same
again. He went from being a calm, happy baby, to being extremely irritable. He just turned 10, and
although he has no learning disabilities, behaviorally he is still quite irritable.
Needless to say, my younger two children have NEVER had one single vaccine. My husband has
read much of the same literature I have regarding vaccines, and now agrees wholeheartedly that
they are not what he wants for our children. I feel we would have made this decision earlier,
however although I tried to obtain it, the information just wasn't as freely available 10-16 years ago.
Back then all the information seemed very biased in one direction or the other...it seemed to state
that either your child will die with the vaccines, or die without them. There weren't enough details to
make much of seem like valid, useable information to me at that time. I'm so glad the information is
out there and easily accessible now, although I wish more parents exposed themself to that
information before suffering a tragedy with their child(ren).
If there is a preponderance of independent studies demonstrating the futility, at best, of any
particular vaccine, when on earth will suit be brought to end regulatory vaccination mandates? I am
very impatient for the next steps to be taken to end the immunization farce. ...and lack of omega 3 in
the diet. The medical establishment's approach to vaccinations, as MadelineL and other point out
here, is the "collateral damage" approach--most people will be helped, and not hurt. But as others
point out here, the statistics stating who's been hurt, may be incomplete. Who's to say how much
damage vaccinations do to people who don't show obvious signs, at least not right away? Brain
damage can take years to show up, and by then, it's difficult or impossible to make the connection to
a specific vaccination earlier in that person's life. We need all the brain we get at birth, so we have
extra when we get old.
The medical establishment also seems to be operating from a simplistic misinterpretation of
Darwin--"the strongest will survive": kill enough people with vaccinations over hundreds of years,
and maim others so they're unlikely to be able to find a mate and have offspring, and maybe the
survivors will produce more people who don't die from vaccinations. Unfortunately, it may not work
like that in real life, and why kill and maim people for such a goal anyway? The medical
establishment seems to fear individualized medicine, since that requires more time, care, education,
etc.--they want a well-oiled machine, designed for profit and simplicity. Most organizations don't like
any impression that any of their practices can cause harm in some cases, since "that scares
people". Well, the type of person who thinks the way that automatic vaccinators think, scare me.
One of their problems may be that they like the idealistic notion that "we're all the same", or should
be (maybe it's a misinterpretation of the American ideal), and so damn the torpedoes, full speed
ahead with that notion.
One of the primary lessons here is, don't back down (many people here say they did), when a doctor
or anyone else says they should get a vaccination, especially when a person or a family has prior
history of problems with being vaccinated. Don't let the doctor, nurse, receptionist, etc.
I am mad because my only son developed autism at about age 18 months-two years. There were
severel risk factors as I look back, but I stongly suspect vaccinations. He was born in 1998 and the
thimerosol (ethyl-mercury preservative) was supposedly removed from vaccines at that point. But
existing stocks were used after the cut-off date for manufacture of mercury-containing vaccines.
We had him tested for heavy metals, and he had them all. Mercury, lead, arsenic, others. Perhaps
his system just does not excrete them on the "normal" timetable.
The vaccines may have caused him life-long disability. As for myself, I had the measles, mumps, and
chicken-pox as a child. I have natural immunity for life. I only wish my children did.
None of my children will ever get another vaccination. Especially that ridiculous Gardasil!
Four years ago, my mother, 63, a perfectly healthy woman, succumbed to the "must get a flu shot'
pressure from her doctor. Within 30 days of receiving that flu shot, she was diagnosed with Acute
Myeloid Leukemia (AML) of a virulent nature. She was in the hospital for 3 months, on dialysis when
her kidneys shut down from the chemo, developed sepsis and was near comatose for a week in
CICU. She had just 1 round of chemo, which nearly killed her. Her oncologist (God love him)
actually embraced the idea that the flu shot messed her system so much that cancer ravaged her
when her immune system received all the poison the needle wielded. After just 1 round of chemo
(against doctors' protocols) she is in remission for 4 years now and speaks out about the dangers of
the flu shot! I know that that poison caused my mother to almost lose her life. By the grace of God,
she survived. Be wary everyone! Had I not had an autistic son. I would have happily lived my life
believing the calculated disinformation that passes for truth disseminated by the medical proffession.
My journey to discover the cause of autism has led me towards conclusions beyond his condition to
the rotten core of an industry that passes for health care thats agenda reflects the phrase " A patient
cured is a customer lost ."
I have to reluctantly thank his condition for creating the impitus to find the reason and in so doing lift
the veil of naivity that surrounds us and the very scary agendas that are planned for us. David Icke,
Alex Jones, Philllip Day, Mike Adams, and the like would have seemed like crazies to me years ago,
but no longer.
With regard to the subject at hand.
Dr David Christopher explained the logic why vaccinations cause auto immune diseases.
This being from a lay persons second hand perspective so please reply and correct me if I've got this
wrong.
The virus is grown on a host which could be a monkey or whatever. When the vaccine is injected
directly into the bloodstream then unfortunately some of the monkey or whatever hosts dna is also
injected. The body then sees the foreign dna and sends out stuff to attack that molecule but
recognises also the type of tissue of the host that the dna is attached to. Unfortunately instead of just
attacking the hosts dna tissue it also recognises similar tissue that the hosts tissue is and attacks
that also.
I hope I have that right.
Wow!
I personally know some physicians with hoitsy-toitsy titles that whenever I talk to them about things
like this, they think I am crazy. I also look like a dork; after all, from their prospective, I have just a
B.B.A. in Finance , and they are highly educated in medicine.
But I know what I know, and I won't argue with themIt is rare that somone will chance their stance
after 4 years of brain washing.. oops i mean medical schoolHigher education, whether a medical
degree or any other degree simply implants the industry desired thoughts and opinions into the
recipient. The degreed person is generally tunelled visioned into one way of thinking. Thus most
doctors today are simply drug pushers and unable to think in terms other than standard medical
practice. A truly intelligent person is able to gather information and think for themselves - no matter
what the party line is.
That is *exactly* why I abandoned my original pre-med major and plan to go to med school and
become a brain surgeon, opting instead to become a cog. sci. researcher where I do my own
*research* to learn about how the brain functions and I can conclude for myself given my own
evidence what I think is going on...I may have a lot to learn, and will never truly understand how it all
works, but at least I'll always be open and flexible to new knowledge and information. good
physician should have an open mind to alternative treatments and differing opinions of what
constitutes good health. If their attitude is one of arrogance and
condescension, I'd fire them and look for a new doctor. After all, they're supposed to be working for
you.
Adults are also harmed by vaccines. I developed a severe, life-threatening autoimmune disorder
shortly after receiving a tetanus shot. Tetanus shots ARE NOT safe. I had a tetanus shot only once
before when I was 7 - so the nurse gave me one because she said it was too many years since I had
had one. Also, they DO NOT prevent you from dying from tetanus (I found this out after doing
research). Assuming you contract tetanus, you will die way before your body builds up an immunity
to it. They need to give you a blood derivative from someone who had tetanus and built up a natural
immunity to it. So the tetanus vaccine does nothing to save your life if you are cut. And statistically,
the vast majority of deaths related to tetanus are in people who HAVE been vaccinated - many of
them recently. I have been suffering for three years with this disease and it has changed my life
completely. The thing that bothers me is that I received no information from the nurse until after the
shot. Only when I was leaving the office did she give me a paper which listed severe muscle
atrophy as a side effect. So they did not list my autoimmune disease as a side effect - just the first
symptoms of the disease. That was just the beginning, believe me. It affected my entire body in so
many ways, that I know I will never be the same as I was before I allowed this stupid woman to
convince me to take this shotMy daughter at age 20 months got her 3rd seies of DPT and MMR,
which she had problems with the prior two series of shots and had to be taken to the E.R., where the
doc said would I rather she get a reaction or the disease. She had an 80 minute gran mall seizure,
quit walking, talking, siiting, eating and was in a vegetative state for awhile. she had seizures til age
5. she had years of therapy from physical, occupational and attended special ed. in school. I
managed to sign religious exemptions as i religiously believed I should not give her the shots. I
threatened to call the ACLU when I did get any problem with school admission and being a navy
family that moved all the time, she was always changing schools. The pertussis is so dangerous and
had we'd known sooner, she would not have had any shots. My second daughter has not had any
and we are always criticized by the medical community but when i suggest that sign a waiver
guaranteeing there will be no adverse effects, they shut up!! Even today the food and drug assoc.
maintains that vaccines are safe. I hear that from the medical profession. But my advice is to do
your own research and read up on the national vaccine information center web. These poisons are
destroying our children and we are their voices! Congrats to Dr. Mercola for this article! Today, my
daughter is 24. She is mentally slow and her speech is the worst effect but she works three hours ,
2 days a week. She attends special olympics and has a sweet disposition. She is always eager to
try something new which is her strong point. Shes very social and has no residual effects anymore
other than being slow. Thank God! The nightmare from those days still haunts me seeing that
beautiful born healthy child who turned into a 2 yr. old infant who was on so much equipment that
even the head of the pediatric dept. told us he had never seen anything present itself as my
daughter did! Making aware the poisons we inject our children has been my goal!

As I was saying, I'm grateful the doc was running late because it gave me a chance to come to my senses. I
read through the explanation of all the different vaccines what struck me was what almost seemed like a
disclaimer on each. The part about how the federal government had a fund established to assist the families of
children harmed or KILLED due to immunizations. So many questions...
1. If enough children are harmed and killed to justify this fund, why are vaccines mandated in the first place?
2. Why is the federal government imposing these rules in the privacy of the doctors office?
etc. etc
It was one of the most sickening days of my life. To look at this mandated vaccine schedule of near 2 dozen
vaccines and think of the millions of children preyed upon by the pharmcuetical companies and to think I had
walked in that room prepared to let my child's health line the pockets of those whom have sold their
souls...........Yes we do need revolution-and people need to start paying attention.
Ok-now after my 2 comment box long rant about my internal struggle about vaccintaing the light of my life I
get to my question:
In all the reading and surfing I've done to collect information about immunizations I've read dozens of first
hand heart wrenching accounts of children harmed by vaccines. I now ask this: What statistics are out there
regarding an epidmeic these vaccines are supposedly intended to protect us from and how many unvaccinated
children were harmed? Where do I hear about parents crying about their unvaccinated child getting the
measles and never recovering? Anyone?

Thanks to Dr. Mercola we avoided vaccinating our two children (ages 4 years and 9 months). This
has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I was thrown out of one pediatricians office
because I would not let her vaccinate my children ("it is best you find a doctor that is more aligned
with your point of view" were the exact words she used). But this is just one incident of ongoing
harassment.
Two things upset me most about about the vaccine controversy. First, when starting to question most
doctors I encountered, they seem to know less about the subject than I do. Second, even more
annoying than these type of doctors are parents who chose to follow the recommended vaccination
schedule without ever taking one minute to educate themselves about the subject. No matter what
you decide on doing, it is the obligation of every parent to protect your children and not blindly follow
"the herd".
We fortunately found a local M.D. who is very aligned with Dr. Mercola's view. This made our life so
much easier. Btw., both of our kids have hardly ever been sick (my four year old who is going to day
care maybe missed 3 days of school within 3 years).
My heart goes out to everybody who chooses not to vaccinate. I know how hard it can be to stick by
your point of vie
After my daughter received the kindergarten vaccines, she developed asthma. The doctor employed
his scare tactics and told me that she needed the flu shot every year, because if she got the flu, it
meant she would need to be hospitalized and might die. So I made sure she got the shot for three
years, and she was never sicker! She missed so much school, and every cold turned into an ear
infection or sinus infection or strep throat. I was also giving her the steroid inhalers they told me she
had to have or she could have an asthma attack and die. I started reading about supplements and
found a great little book "A Mother's Guide to Raising Healthy Children Naturally". I just did a few
simple things, daily I gave her Essential Fatty Acids (Childlife EFA's), probiotics, and Vitamin C
(Emergen-C for kids), and limited sugar and processed foods. We also decided no more flu shots! It
has been amazing how quickly she improved. Within a year she was able to go off of the astma
medications, and her colds go away on their own, without a need for antibiotics. I feel that the flu
vaccine and the medications the doctors prescribed for her actually weakened her immune system,
and the childhood vaccines didn't help either. If I knew what I knew today, I don't think I would have
vaccinated my daughter. have 2 beautiful boys, 7 and 3, never vaccinated despite LOTS of pressure.
Super healthy, very intelligent, loving and kind. They've been sick periodically but natural remedies
have gotten them through everything. ONE time my older son had an aspirin-like thing and both
boys had - ultimately unnecessarily - anti-biotics at birth. I was too naive to be as strong as I needed
to be after their hard births; but it accounts for both boys' minor skin issues. My husband has had
severe asthma since age 3 and I believe this alone is reason enough NOT to vaccinate and, in fact,
many vaccines support this in writing on their own direction sheets. ASK to see all papers on
proposed vaccinations and you will be able to point out to staff when there is a clear
contraindication. I truly believe that my boys' health and happiness is in part a direct result of their
bodies being free of vaccinations. Even my mom (who vaccinated all six of us) now says if she knew
then what she knows now she would not have vaccinated any of us. (I told her it might be directly
related to my eldest sister's inconsolable crying over the course of months - these stories are family
legend and my parents never could figure out WHY she cried all the time, but it drove them to the
brink of being abusive - though they refrained from abuse in the end because of their strength of
character, love, and determination.)
Though I wouldn't consider myself anti-conventional medicine, I find it completely unnecessary for
chronic issues or minor day-to-day troubles. And routine medical intervention or vaccinations is not
only unnecessary but also dangerous. Modern medicine is heroic medicine and there is very little
need for heroic intervention. Because that is the modern model, though, that's how they operate for
things both large and small. Given a major car accident, I would go to the hospital for care and then
I'd get out of there as soon as possible to treat myself with herbs, nutrition, and natural modalities.
Can someone help me with this. I am not from the US but married an American and have been living
here for 6 years now. I will not let anymore vaccinate our babies (soon to have one). I just don't know
how you go to the hospital and say "don't vaccinate my baby once he's born." Is that possible? Is
there any option at the hospital when you have your babies or they just vaccinate them even before
you recover from childbirth?
I live in Oregon. Thank you.
To Alexandra...yes, firstly, let your obstetrician know of your plans not to vaccinate, have it written in
your labor/delivery plan. The moment you get to the hospital when you are in labor, just let everyone
know your child is not to receive the shots. They have to have your signature to do it, so read
EVERYTHING thoroughly before signing. I've been successful this way with my two youngest
children. The hospitals we were at were very compliant with my wishes. The best advice I can give
is: Don't be afraid to assert yourself! This is YOUR child, and they can not do anything to YOUR
child without your permission, even though they sometimes like to act as though you have no
choices. Do your research, all but 2 states allow for exemptions other than medical (WV and MS are
medical only).
Do your research, Hep B for someone working in the medical field with dead bodies is not likely to
have the same risks as a nurse working in an ER. IF you run the risk of punturing your gloves while
handling body parts, then your are at risk. But only you can weigh the risk of Hep B with the risk to
you in your work field to the risk of the vaccine.
The best advice to new parents is say no until you can say yes. Don't try to have an open
conversation with your doctor, most only know what the CDC or AAP or the pharma reps tell them.
Most do not have the time to research every angle of a vaccine. Just say NO and a firm NO,
I have 3 boys, they are 19 and twins 15. I had problems with my first son after he had an MMR
vaccine. He was never the same. I didn't know I had any choices regarding vaccines at that time.He
was diagnosed with ADD. My twins were born premature and had a slew of vaccines. I had a stroke
and was too ill to understand. They were both ill all the time until around 4. Finally at that time I
started seeing a holistic doctor. They quit getting ear infections and other illnesses. The last vaccines
for all the boys was at age 6. I still did not know about exemptions regarding the vaccines for school.
They all were required to have the TD shot at 15, but I used religious preferences. I only wish I had
known about this when they were babies. I would never feed a baby formula either. Oh, if I knew
then what I know now! The wisest thing yo do is to trust your intuition which will tell you that allowing
your baby to be injected with vaccines which contain mercury, aluminum, MSG, formaldehyde and
minute particles of monkey kidney, chick embryo and the cells derived from an aborted human
foetus is just about the most insane thing a parent can possibly do to their child.
Inded get well informed by studying e.g, Dr Mercola's information, or the many vaccination videos on
you tube. The website www.satanicvaccines.com is also well worth a visit as it offers many links to
other interesting websites.
Also, google "vaccine exemptions so that you can download an exemption form valid in your state in
order to protect your baby from this medical/pharmaceutical experimentation and state sanctioned
child abuse.
moo---here is a story for you ---About 15-20 years ago I sliced my hand. The MD said I should have
a booster shot since I had not had one in 15 years.
I said: "But there has never been a documented case of anyone ever getting tetanus who served in
World War II whether they had had booster shots or not". Now you would think that at least one
World War II vet who didn't have a booster shot would have developed tetanus----But not a single
case, apparently at that time had ever documented.
The MD responded quickly with "England never does give booster shots"
I asked: "Why do we give booster shots then?"
MD responded: " National Institute of Health recommends it--you won't get any arguments out of
me."
That is where the conversation ended. This MD was no specialist--he was just a "Doc in the Box",
but even he knew knew just as well as I did that booster shots were unnecessary. He simply blindly
continued to poison his patients because that was medical protocol. (and profit making?) Ah, it's
funny, I didn't quite know where Tetanus actually came from...it makes sense that it'd be bacteria
entering the wound. Presumably, we could all fight that off then, no?
My best friend, back in November, accidentally stepped on a thin wooden stick that went into her
foot. After removing it and giving her stitches, they also gave her a Tetanus shot and a hefty
antibiotic. A few days later (just before a trip to Europe that we were to take together) she feel
extremely ill with the common intestinal bacterial infection that often comes from antibiotic use
(forgive me, I'm blanking on the name). I'm sure the combo of the shot and the antibiotics was the
reason why she was terribly sick for months. Anyone researching the vaccination issue properly will
inevitably come to the conclusion that vacines are useless and dangerous. Personally, I will never
have another vaccine - ever. Anyone researching the vaccination issue properly will inevitably come
to the conclusion that vacines are useless and dangerous. Personally, I will never have another
vaccine - Last summer I had my 10-year tetanus booster. After experiencing a reaction similar to my
last exposure to formaldehyde (cadaver lab in Physical Therapy School), I called the doctor's office
to find out what was in the product guide. They didn't have one and had to call the manufacturer.
Turns out, it contains "a little bit" of formaldehyde since that is how they purify the tetanus toxoid
after it is grown. All vaccines, all manufactures purify with formaldehyde. They tried to tell me the
amount of formaldehyde wasn't enough to cause a problem, however is that what we tell someone
with an allergy to shell fish, penicillin, nuts, etc.?
Plus, formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and hazardous material which requires special handling
in the work environment.
Interestingly, when I was at the MD for the respiratory problems, they asked if I was current on my
Tetanus vaccination. I said, "Unfortunately, yes." They said it was a good thing, because they would
have given me the shot if I wasn't current. I hate to think how my body would have reacted while
severely compromised!
On a similar topic, with starting a new job recently, I was asked to undergo a TB test (2 tests a week
apart). After the tetanus experience, I did some research and learned that the liquid they inject under
the skin contains Phenol, another known carcinogen and hazardous material. Since I had a chest xray done within the past year (asthma exacerbation due to a cold), I was able to submit those results
instead.
The best protection for your newborn is natural immunity passed on through breastfeeding. Mom
needs to have a healthy diet and when food is introduced to the baby do NOT use commercially
prepared baby food. It is full of sugar and preservatives. You can make your own baby food by
pureeing veggies and other natural foods. As soon as possible, introduce the textures of the natural
foods. Babies don't miss sugar until you have introduced it to their diet. I also supplemented with
organic babyfood for the convenience when I was on the go. nitinar, I agree wholeheartedly with
mama bear. Babies are born with strong immune protection from their mothers. Breastfeeding will
keep this natural immunity in force for months while the little one is building his own immune system.
Right foods, right exercise, right sleep pattens all play a vital part.
My granddaughter is almost 5 and fully unimmunized except for one HepB given in the hospital
when she was born, without our consent. Never sick like other children. Stop letting the government
scare you. nitinar, I agree wholeheartedly with mama bear. Babies are born with strong immune

My granddaughter is almost 5 and fully unimmunized except for one HepB given in the hospital
when she was born, without our consent. Never sick like other children. Stop letting the government
scare you. I would like to know which reference Dr. Blaylock uses to support his statement "The
EPA component of fish oils (omega-3 oils) is also a powerful immune suppressant. ..."
It is EPA that blocks the enzyme Delta 5-desaturase and prevents Dihomo gamma linolenic (DGLA)
from being converted into Arachidonic Acid (AA).
Without EPA blocking the formation of Arachidonic Acid , it is then made easily into the "bad" or proinflammatory eicosanoids (hormones within cells).
Note--Stressors to the body such as sugar, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, all play a part in causing
more AA to be formed. (Aspirin and Vioxx block its formation also).
The more EPA in the diet, the more AA is suppressed allowing more anit-inflammatory or "good"
eicosanoids to be formed.
Chronic degenerative diseases are directly related to having "good" and "bad" eicosanoids out of
balance. Too little EPA and and you develop more pro-inflammatory eicosanoids which results in
your chronic degenerative diseases.
There is no known natural way to get DHA into your diet without also getting EPA. Mother nature
balances them in fish and grassfed animals for a reason I suspect.
My source for this comes from Barry SearsAZHiker---Fish oil does not really thin the blood. The best
explanation I have seen as to why it prevents heart disease and strokes is that it reduces the
inflammation of blood vessel walls and makes red blood cells less "sticky". Thus, it has the benefits
of anti-coagulants without the side-effects of them. I'm autistic (aspergers), and it runs strongly in my
family - very obviously a genetic/hereditary syndrome in my case, as in many others - but I don't for
a moment believe that that is always the case, and that all autistics are simply 'born with it'. I've seen
enough people with vaccine damage to know that there is something in them either triggering autistic
spectrum disorders in the still-developing infant brain of some individuals (it's a differently wired
brain, so to speak, rather than an illness), or causing it outright in others.
When you look at what these vaccines contain, what those ingredients can do, and then hear the
thousands upon thousands of parents relating their stories it doesn't take an idiot to put two and two
together.
Vaccines, Depression and Neurodegeneration After Age 50: Another Reason to

Avoid the Recommended Vaccines.
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., CCN
It has been estimated that 14.8 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder
and of this number 6 million are elderly. If we include anxiety disorders, which
commonly accompany depression, the number jumps to 40 million adults.
Depression later in life tends to last longer and be more severe than at younger ages. It
is also associated with a high rate of suicide. Previously, it was thought that major
depression was secondary to a deficiency in certain neurotransmitters in the brain,
particularly the monoamines, which include serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.
While alterations in these important mood-related neurotransmitters is found with major
depression, growing evidence indicates that the primary culprit is low-grade, chronic
brain inflammation.
This exclusive article will review in detail the functions and impact of various agents on
depression and neurodegeneration, including:
The impact of MSG on your brain and mood
The link between elevated brain glutamate and inflammation
The connections between pesticides and neurological disorders such as

Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease
How vaccinations cause brain inflammation
The impact of an expanding vaccine schedule for the elderly
The shocking truth, linking brain inflammation to neurodegenerative diseases
How vaccine additives such as mercury and aluminum impact your brain health
The real danger of live virus vaccines
Current recommendations by the CDC for adult vaccinations include a total of 14

separate inoculations with infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants.
According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease are
separated by no more than 4 weeks, which is close enough together to trigger a
smoldering process of brain inflammation and excitotoxicity that can not only result in
depression, anxiety and high suicide rates, but can increase your risk of developing one
of the neurodegenerative diseases as well.
We have also seen that in many cases a person will be injected with several vaccines
during a single office visit and this means that their body is exposed to a very large dose
of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies, using many animal species as well as
humans, have shown that this overactivates brain inflammatory mechanisms that can
last for years.
Both infants and the elderly are high-risk groups when it comes to the destructive
impact vaccines can have on their health. And yet, these are the two groups targeted
with the most recommended vaccines often being given multiple shots at a time.
I strongly encourage you to review the evidence before you expose yourself or your
children to these potentially dangerous injections. I am convinced that their questionable
benefits are far outweighed by their dangerous side effects.
As Dr. Blaylock explained in detail above, vaccinations are highly neurotoxic, and are
associated with many neurological disorders, such as:
Degenerative Brain Disorders
ADD
Autism
Epilepsy and convulsions
Mental Retardation Depression and Anxiety
Central Nervous System Disorders
Paralysis
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Nerve Deafness
Blindness
SIDS
For example, autism was virtually unheard of before vaccinations; its emergence
precisely parallels mass vaccination programs. ADD and learning disorders in children
are also now being traced to childhood vaccinations. Brain damage, at any age, is by far
the most common adverse reaction associated with vaccinations, although their actual
numbers are not often reported correctly.

of human beings.
There are people out there that think vaccines cause autism. They have some "celebrities" in their
ranks. Never mind that these people are just plain WRONG in their assertions, but they are a public
health risk in their stances. Dr. Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer and President of JREF) takes on
these people on a regular basis. Not because it's particularly astronomy related, but because these
people are lying to make their case, are endangering children (not only their own, but others as well),
and are trying to drag public health back 70 years.
Invariably, every time he makes a post on his blog, the anti-vaxxers come to try to spread their lies
and falsified claims. A fellow that posts on Dr. Plait's blog by the name of Todd W. has made a
preemptive compilation of why these people are wrong. So, for your enjoyment, here is that list:
The Truth About The "Evils" Of

Vaccination
by Todd W
Before making any comments on how evil vaccines are and how they cause autism, please read the
following. I apologize for the length, but the mouthpieces of the pro-disease anti-vax movement
spout so much nonsense and misinformation.
A brief explanation of terms, added 4/30/09: After receiving some feedback on this post, I want to
clear up my use of the terms "anti-vax" and "pro-disease". By anti-vax, I am referring to those
individuals who actively argue that vaccines are bad and should be abandoned, as well as those
whose arguments against vaccines have the effect of reducing vaccinations. I am not using the term
to refer to the average person who may have questions or doubts about vaccines. I use "pro-disease",
as well, because these people's actions are effectively working to bring diseases back into common
circulation. In other words, by arguing against vaccines, they are effectively arguing for vaccinepreventable diseases. See the section on Vaccines in General, below, for more on how reduced
vaccination rates lead to higher rates of vaccine-preventable diseases. While some may find these
terms offensive, I am going to keep them in until I find a better term to describe the people involved.

MMR
(info available from FDA, CDC, investigative reports by Brian Deer)
* Some in the anti-vax movement claim that the MMR has/had mercury in it. However, the
MMR vaccine does not and never has had any mercury in it.
* The basis of the MMR vaccine causes autism argument is a flawed study by Andrew
Wakefield (retracted by The Lancet on February 2, 2010), who had several ethics breaches, including
failure to disclose financial compensation from a lawyer representing families claiming MMR cause
their childrens autism, failure to disclose financial interests in patents for MMR alternatives, failure
to include data which contradicted his conclusions, use of contaminated samples to support his
conclusions. Furthermore, on January 28, 2010, Wakefield and two of his co-authors, John Angus
Walker-Smith and Simon Harry Murch, were found by the UK.'s General Medical Council to have
acted irresponsibly, dishonestly and not in the clinical interests of the children involved in the
study (PDF Link). The basis for this decision included, among other things, colonoscopies, MRIs
and lumbar punctures (spinal taps) when such procedures were not clinically indicated.
* A 2009 study, titled "Lack of association between measles-mumps-rubella vaccination and

autism in children: a case control study" examined whether there was a relationship between
MMR and autism and concluded that there was no association. This study is one of the latest in
the stack of evidence against a connection. (See also SBM's topic-based reference for more studies.)
* Independent studies trying to replicate Wakefields results have come up negative. To date,
no properly controlled study has shown a causal link between vaccines and autism.
* Many opponents of the MMR will claim that the diseases prevented are mild and not
dangerous. This is not the case, as can be seen in numerous outbreaks around the world. Measles
can lead to encephalitis (swelling of the brain) in about 1 of every 1,000 individuals, possibly leading
to death. Mumps can lead to sterility in men, swollen ovaries or breasts in women and miscarriage
in pregnant women, as well as encephalitis. Rubella (German measles) can cause encephalitis, as
well as birth defects if contracted by a pregnant woman. While the majority of individuals who
contract measles, mumps or rubella will survive with little or no lasting ill effects, there is still a
significant risk of permanent injury or death. The MMR vaccine can help to greatly reduce the risk of
not only contracting the illnesses, and thereby reducing the risk of serious complications, but also to
reduce the risk of passing the diseases on to others.
Back to top.
Hep B
* Many anti-vaxers express concern over the hepatitis B vaccine, often claiming that hepB is
a sexually transmitted disease. While that is primarily true, it can be transmitted via other means,
such as "Direct contact with the blood or open sores of an infected person". What this means is that
if an infant comes in contact with the body fluids of an infected individual (e.g., family, hospital
visitors, undiagnosed hospital staff, children at day care or day care workers), then they can contract
the disease. This can be quite serious, because the younger a person is when infected, the more likely
they are to develop chronic infection, which can lead to liver cancer and other serious complications.
* Another concern expressed by anti-vaxers regards the amount of aluminum in the vaccine.
See below, under Other Vaccine Additives for more information addressing this concern.
Back to top.
Thimerosal
(info available from both FDA and CDC)
* Thimerosal is a preservative that is used in the manufacturing process of some vaccines and
other medicines to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, which could otherwise cause illness or
injury.
* It metabolizes into ethylmercury, not methylmercury, a mistake commonly made by prodisease anti-vaxers who claim that the amount of mercury that used to be in vaccine exceeded EPA
exposure guidelines. Those guidelines were for methylmercury, a compound that has a half-life in the
body of several weeks to months and is often found in fish or other environmental exposures.
Ethylmercury, on the other hand, has a half-life of a few days to about a week, meaning that it is not
in the body long enough for it to build up to toxic levels from vaccination to vaccination.
* It was removed from the final product of nearly all vaccines around 2001/2002. This was a
political move, due in large part to public pressure, rather than based on sound science. This was a
recommendation rather than a regulatory requirement. A handful of studies that suggested problems
with thimerosal, but which were inconclusive, prompted a "better safe than sorry" approach from the
FDA while the issue was investigated by FDA, CDC and others. No follow-up studies have found any
health risks beyond local hypersensitivity.
* Some vaccines still use it during the manufacturing process, but remove it from the final
product, leaving, at most, trace amounts. The influenza vaccine still uses thimerosal, though
thimerosal-free versions are available.
* Despite the removal of thimerosal from vaccines, resulting in exposure levels lower than
anytime in the past, autism rates have not declined, suggesting that there is no connection between
thimerosal and autism.
* To date, no properly controlled study has shown a causal link between thimerosal and
autism.

Squalene
* Some anti-vaxers claim that squalene, a vaccine adjuvant is toxic and caused Gulf War
Illness (GWI) in soldiers that received the anthrax vaccine, supposedly contaminated with squalene.
However, a comprehensive review of GWI by the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War
Veterans Illnesses observed that not only did the vaccine not cause GWI, but that the lots implicated
did not contain any squalene as an adjuvant (instead, the anthrax vaccine usedaluminum
hydroxide). Like other claims, the anti-vaxers have no quality studies to support their contention
that squalene causes severe adverse reactions.
* According to the same GWI review, squalene is "an oily substance that naturally occurs in
plants and animals. It is found in a variety of foods, lotions, and cosmetics. It is also used as a food
supplement and has been postulated to provide therapeutic benefits. In humans, squalene is
synthesized by the liver as a precursor to cholesterol, and circulates in the blood."
* Squalene appears to be an effective and safe adjuvant, based on a PubMed search

revealingseveral studies examining its use in vaccines.
* It should also be noted that squalene is offered in pill form by a variety of organic and
natural food stores, as well as makers of dietary supplements. Squalene is also promoted as
amoisturizer.
Back to top.
Other Vaccine Additives
* Some pro-disease anti-vaxers claim there is antifreeze in vaccines. This is false. Antifreeze
is ethylene glycol. Vaccines use polyethylenes glycol. These are different substances, the latter of
which is not toxic. More info can be found at Inside Vaccines.
* Vaccines contain formaldehyde. However, the chemical structure of the formaldehyde in

vaccines is the same as that produced by our own bodies. It is used during the manufacturing
process, but is diluted to remove it from the finished product, leaving only small or trace amounts.
The total amount of formaldehyde in a finished product is far less than what is naturally found in the
human body.
* As an aside; the total amount of Formaldehyde in vaccines from the vaccine schedule for a
6 year old child is 1.2016mg, BUT 1 (one) banana contains 16.3mg! Understandably, the method of
introduction is different, but it's still the same chemicals, and still introduced into the body where it
can be absorbed.
* Vaccines contain aluminum in a salt form. Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim this is toxic, and
some will cite that 4ppm will cause blood to coagulate. However, individuals are not exposed to such
amounts of aluminum in a single vaccination visit. Below are the vaccines containing aluminum,
with the corresponding parts per million (ppm) for an infant (~251 mL of blood in the body) and an
80lb. child (~4000 mL of blood); note the two numbers for DTaP represent extreme ranges of
aluminum content.:

* Some anti-vaxers claim that the HepB vaccine, for example, exceeds federal regulations of
aluminum exposure. However, they cite the 25mcg/L for large volume parenteral (LVP) nutrition
products (21 CFR 201.323),which are given chronically over the course of days or weeks, rather than
the regulations governing adjuvants. 21 CFR 610.15 lists the maximum amount of aluminum per
dose in vaccines, depending on the method of calculation. This ranges from .85mg (that's
milligrams) to 1.25 mg. HepB vaccine contains 250 mcg (that's micrograms) per dose, or .25mg.
LVPs typically come in packages of 100 mL or more and are administered intravenously (i.e., directly
into the bloodstream). Total parenteral nutrition therapy (TPN), which uses LVPs, is typically
indicated for nutritional supplementation for >10 days given at about 2 L/day. So, assuming a case
requiring TPN for 10 days, the individual would be exposed to 500 mcg, twice the amount in the
vaccine.
* Further, about 71% of the aluminum is excreted from the body after about 5 days or so.
* An interesting source of aluminum is breast milk. After between 51 and 346 days of breast
feeding, a child will have taken onboard the same amount of Aluminium as from the total US vaccine
schedule for a 6 year old child. Understandably, the method of introduction is different, but it's still
the same chemicals, and still introduced into the body where it can be absorbed.

Influenza and H1N1

With H1N1 being all over the media this year, there is a lot of misinformation about the virus and the
vaccine. Here are some of the more common claims heard:
* Many people claim that the new H1N1 swine flu vaccine was fast-tracked through
production and did not undergo proper testing. In reality, the vaccine went through the same
process as the seasonal flu vaccine. Unlike the seasonal flu, which requires several months of study
each year to determine which strains to include, the H1N1 strain was known, negating months of
research. The initial occurrence of H1N1 also came at a time when production of a vaccine would not
interfere with seasonal vaccine production, which had just finished, and when resources (e.g.,
chicken eggs for growing the virus) were still available.
* Some claim that the H1N1 vaccine contains adjuvants, such as aluminum salts, AS03 or
MF59 (aka squalene). After initial efficacy testing, however, the CDC determined that an adjuvant
would not be required. Therefore, all forms of the H1N1 vaccine in the United States areadjuvantfree.
* Inevitably, someone brings up the 1976 swine flu vaccine in an attempt to show the
purported dangers of the new vaccine. They will cite that the vaccine killed more people than the
flu. They will also state that the vaccine induced Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in recipients.
Although technically true, they are misleading. The 1976 strain infected around 13 individuals and
killed one. The vaccine was given to 48.2 million people, with 25 deaths linked to the vaccine, a rate
of about 1 per 2.5 million. In addition, around 532 vaccine recipients developed GBS, a rate of
about 1 per 100,000, only slightly above GBS rates in unvaccinated populations. The vaccine was
distributed before the 1976 strain was fully understood. While it shared a lot of similarities with the
strain that caused the 1918 pandemic, thus raising fears of significant deaths, the 1976 strain did not
spread beyond Fort Dix. In contrast, the current 2009 H1N1 strain has already spread around the
world. So, in 1976, the government, media and the public jumped the gun, reacting before enough
information was understood. Click the links in this paragraph for more information.
* The severity of H1N1, and seasonal flu in general, is often brushed off. People will claim
that if infected, you will only be sick for a week, and then you'll be fine. For the majority of cases,
that is true. However, the seasonal flu kills, on average, around 30,000 people in the U.S., and
500,000 worldwide, each year. The 2009 H1N1 strain appears to have a similar severity as seasonal
flu, though the burden is shifted toward younger individuals. Even individuals who survive may still
require hospitalization. An October online early release study in the Journal of the American
Medical Association found that critical illness occurred very rapidly after hospitalization, primarily
in young adults, necessitating the use of mechanical ventilation and other rescue therapies. With the
combination of seasonal flu and H1N1 occurring at the same time, there are some fears that there
may be a shortage of ventilators and support staff.
* Another common myth is that you can get the flu from the vaccine. With the flu shot,
thatcannot happen, as the vaccine uses an inactivated (killed) virus. The inhaled formulation uses a
live, weakened virus, so it may cause mild flu-like symptoms, and there is a small chance of
spreading the vaccine virus to close contacts. Generally, only minor local reactions occur. More
serious reactions with either (e.g., headache, nausea, etc.) generally go away in 1 to 2 days, instead of
the week or longer of more severe symptoms that true influenza infection would cause.
* Generally speaking, both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines are safe and effective. However,
it must be noted that some people should not receive the vaccine (e.g., those with allergies to eggs).
If you have any questions or concerns, consult your physician.
Back to top.
Polio
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim that polio rates increased after the introduction of the polio
vaccine, that OPV spread the disease, and that polio was on a decline before introduction of the
vaccine. This is wrong.
* Before the approval of the vaccine, paralytic polio struck 13,000-20,000 individuals every
year in the U.S. The number of cases peaked at 21,000 in 1952, only three years before approval of
the vaccine. By 1960, there were only 2,525 cases, and only 61 cases in 1965.
* The oral polio vaccine (OPV) was nearly 100% effective in preventing polio, though it did
have a very small risk of causing paralytic polio in the recipient. OPV-caused paralytic polio resulted
in about 6-8 cases per year. However, when vaccination rates were low, OPV had the added benefit of
contact immunity. In other words, the virus from the vaccine was present in the stool, resulting in
about 25% of people who came in contact with the immunized person would also become immune.
* With the eradication of wild type polio in the U.S., the OPV vaccine is no longer used, and
the less effective inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) is used. This version does not cause paralytic
polio.OPV has not been used in the U.S. since 2000.
Back to top.
Gardasil
* The most prominent argument against the HPV vaccine Gardasil is that it has been linked
to 43 deaths (as of June 2009). These reports were made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting
System (VAERS). Of these, 26 reported deaths were confirmed to have occurred, but no causal link
to the vaccine was found after investigation. Based on the evidence available, therefore, it does not
appear that the vaccine causes death.
* A post-market surveillance study by the CDC found that the rate of reported deaths
(including anaphylaxis) was 0.1 per 100,000 doses distributed. Their conclusion was that reported
adverse events did not differ significantly from vaccines in general.
* Further arguments against Gardasil mention fainting after immunization. This is a known
possible side effect of some vaccines and is included in the package insert. The insert also includes
recommendations to observe the patient for at least 15 minutes after injection to ensure the patient
does not fall or suffer injury.
Back to top.
Vaccine Court and National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
(info available from the Autism Omnibus Proceedings)
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim that Hannah Poling and Bailey Banks are examples of
successful Vaccine Court cases where vaccines caused autism. This is wrong.
* Hannah Poling was found to have a mitochondrial disorder, and that the vaccine worsened
her condition. The court did not rule that a vaccine caused autism. Note, mitochondrial disorder is
not autism, though some in the anti-vax camp claim it is.
* Bailey Banks was found to have suffered acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).
This disease occurs in approximately 1 or 2 per million vaccine recipients, compared with 1 per 1,000
individuals infected with measles and 1 per 500 rubella infections. The court ruled that this is a type
of pervasive developmental disorder, but made clear that it is not autism. Like the Poling case, antivaxers try to distort the truth to make their case. In the case of ADEM, vaccination helps reduce the
risk of contracting the disease by reducing the likelihood of natural infection.
* Despite the low standards of proof in the vaccine court (more likely than not, or 50% + a
hair), no one has been able to establish a causal relationship between vaccines and autism.
* In three of the best cases put forth by the anti-vax movement, the court ruled in all three
that vaccines did not cause the individuals' autism.
* Before VICP, the media fueled fears about vaccines, leading to increases in law suits and
many manufacturers halting production of vaccines altogether. The VICP was proposed by a
coalition of government, health organization, and industry representatives, as well as physicians and
ordinary citizens as a means to ensure a suitable supply of vaccines while allowing legal recourse to
those injured by vaccines.
* Individuals may still seek damages through the tort system, if they choose, though they
must then prove not only that the vaccine caused the injury, but also that the manufacturer was at
fault.
Back to top.
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)
* Very often, anti-vaxers will point to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS),
a database to collect reports of adverse events associated with vaccines, as evidence of the harm that
vaccines do. It is a publicly searchable database sponsored by FDA and CDC, to which anyone can
submit a report. Healthcare professionals and vaccine manufacturers are required by the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) to report adverse events occurring after administration of a
vaccine. In this regard, VAERS serves as a useful tool for identifying possible trends in safety data
that might call for further investigation or more immediate action.
* As useful a tool as VAERS is, it has several important limitations. One of these that is,
perhaps, most important when dealing with anti-vax claims is that it does not establishcausality. In
other words, the reports found in VAERS cannot be taken at face value as meaning that a vaccine
caused a specific effect. Many of the reports may be merely coincidental. Some may be spurious.
Others may actually have a real, rather than merely apparent, connection between the vaccine and
the outcome.
* An oft-quoted example of just how unreliable VAERS can be can be found from James R.
Laidler, MD. Dr. Laidler submitted a report to VAERS that the influenza vaccine had turned him
into The Hulk. The report was accepted and posted to the database. As Dr. Laidler reports, he was
contacted by a representative because the AE was so unusual. They asked his permission to delete
the report from the database, after discussing it with him, and he agreed. Had he not given his
permission, the report would still be in the VAERS database.
* In the end, while VAERS can be a good tool for finding possible trends of vaccine-related
adverse events, it is also open to being skewed by bad data. Compound this with lobbying, grassroots efforts to get people to report certain events, and the data become horribly polluted with
potentially misleading information. Why is this important? Well, it means that when searching
VAERS, the results need to be taken with a substantial grain of salt, and that further, more in-depth
inquiry is needed. Secondly, it means that mass-reporting of spurious connections can divert scarce
resources away from investigating real health risks to chase after ghosts.
Back to top.
Vaccines in General
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers want vaccines that are 100% safe. This is never going to happen, as
all medicines carry some risk. However, the relative risk of injury from vaccines is significantly lower
than the risk of injury from getting the disease naturally. For more information, see the CDC website.
* This is so important, I'll say it again: The only people that insist vaccines are (or
should be) 100% safe are the anti-vax pro-disease advocates.
* Reduced vaccination rates lead to higher incidents of infection. This has been illustrated in
the U.K. following Wakefield's bogus study, in Germany in 2006 (including two deaths in
unvaccinated children), in California, in MN (where an unvaccinated child died from hemophilus
influenza type b).
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim that "Big Pharma" makes lots of money from vaccines. If
vaccination rates dropped, however, there would be an increase in preventable illnesses, many of
which have high rates of complications resulting in hospitalization and expensive treatment. See the
link about Germany above for information on costs associated with the measles outbreak there. The
money to be made from the diseases far outweighs any money to be made from vaccines.
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim that better hygiene has led to a decrease in disease, rather
than vaccines. However, many of the diseases prevented by vaccines are airborne, and are not greatly
impacted by improved sanitation or hygiene.
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim that too many antigens (the parts that make the vaccines
work) are given at once, ignoring that infants and children are exposed to thousands of antigens
every day by touching things and putting their hands or the object in their mouth, through
absorption or by inhaling.
* Some in the anti-vax movement say that an alternate, spaced-out schedule is better, yet
they have no scientific studies to support such a protocol. They also claim that the schedule
recommended by the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics is not backed up by science. This
is not true. Each year, the schedule is reviewed in the light of the latest scientific studies on vaccines
and revised as necessary, with the newest recommendations being published each January.
* Another claim made by anti-vaxers is that so-called "natural" immunity (i.e., immunity
gained by infection with the disease) is better or lasts longer than immunity gained by a vaccine.
This is not necessarily true. For example, natural immunity to pertussis, similarly to the
vaccine,wears off after about 10-11 years. Therefore, even if an individual had pertussis as a child,
they may still become infected as an adult, suffering the full effects and passing it on to others.
* Some anti-vaxers will ask "why worry" whether they immunize their child or not, if you and
your child(ren) have been immunized? There are a number of reasons. First, not everyone is able to
be immunized, due to a variety of medical reasons (e.g., egg allergies, age, etc.). Second, vaccines are
not 100% effective, though most are very close. This means that in order to prevent an outbreak, a
high number of individuals needs to be immunized so that a virus or bacteria does not have enough
potential hosts to sustain itself. There is a small possibility that even with vaccination, you will not
gain immunity. Finally, there are some individuals (the elderly, AIDS patients, transplant recipients,
some cancer patients, etc.) for whom vaccines just will not work or not work as well, because their
immune system does not, or cannot, mount a full response to it. These individuals are also unlikely
to gain immunity from infection, either. For all of these reasons, it is very important to keep
vaccination rates up, so that those who do not or cannot benefit from vaccines are protected by herd
immunity.
* Something for people concerned about overwhelming the immune system, take into
account that in 1985, doctors vaccinated for seven diseases using 3,000 antigens. Today, health care
providers can vaccinate against 16 diseases using only 200 antigens.
* There have been no properly controlled studies establishing a causal link between vaccines
and autism.
* There have been numerous properly controlled studies sponsored and run by various
people and organizations around the world that have shown no link between vaccines and autism.
* There is a phenomenon called "Herd Immunity". So even if you have your children
vaccinated, the irresponsible pro-disease anti-vax people are still endangering your child with their
antics.
Back to top.
Population X and Vaccines/Autism
* Pro-disease anti-vaxers claim the Amish do not vaccinate and do not have autism. This
stems from a lie by Dan Olmsted from Age of Autism. The Amish do, in fact, vaccinate, and it appears
that their rates of autism may be lower than in the general population (perhaps indicating a genetic
root?).
* Some claim that the Chinese do not have a word for autism (they do, it's
). And simply not having a word for the disease does not mean that it does not exist, merely that it is
not recognized as a specific disorder. Did autism only afflict people after someone created the
diagnosis? No, but it may have been called something else.
* The same claim about the Chinese has been made about Somalis due to a recent article
about Somalis in Minnesota. Again, lack of recognition does not mean that the disease never
occurred in the population. Further, the cases in Minnesota do not have a consistent connection to
vaccines. Some of those with autism have been vaccinated, some have not. Despite a lack of evidence,
Generation Rescue (which runs Age of Autism) has told the Somali parents that vaccines were the
cause.
