Current prevailing drug research says a small percentage of risk is acceptable (even if it may cause serious damage or death). As a parent, that is unacceptable. How dare some one ask me to run the risk, no matter how small, of unreversable damage or even death being done to my child, let alone having the govt. dictate to me this is mandatory.

This reminds me alot of when DDT was first introduced as safe, there were even films of kids in a swimming pool being sprayed with the mist to prove it was safe etc. Years later, it is now outlawed after creating some serious enviornmental problems.

Unless you have a child autism, you will not understand the concerns nor the valid research because autism has not had a strong lobby t make their case. Do you really think drug Mfg. are going to admit their product is unsafe?

- It is impossible to claim with any seriousness that the medical business is free from politics. Vaccine history is full of doctors and officials who broke away from the political machine, always to great professional peril, to speak out against vaccines and the claims of policy makers. The development of vaccines has consistently followed (and not preceded) the dramatic decline of infectious diseases. As you well know, multi-billion dollar sales are at stake every time a national recommendation is made (was the chickenpox vaccine really important?). More importantly, the health policy makers obviously win a political victory when the public is told that the government can now control another infectious disease.
- The efficacy of vaccines has always varied so wildly in studies that there’s almost no element of science left in the vaccine business. The same whole-cell DPT vaccine showed efficacy of 36%, 48% and greater than 80% in different CDC trials (many excuses followed). Since most of us made it into the 20th century without vaccines, it seems obvious that we have natural mechanisms that offer at least as much protection as the aforementioned products. The “efficacy” of different immune systems may be just as varied.
- Even extremely pro-vaccine doctors have admitted that vaccinated kids seem to have a greater incidence of annoying childhood illnesses (colds, ear infections, etc.) than unvaccinated kids. If vaccines were benign, one could possibly consider a risk/benefit analysis. However, these products generate nearly 11,000 adverse reaction reports (with over 100 deaths) annually with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Since this is a passive physician reporting system, you can easily understand why the FDA’s director once said that only 10% of the reactions are ever reported. The formaldehyde, mercury derivatives, phenol, aluminum salts, antibiotics and many other stabilizers and adjuvents obviously make vaccines potent and toxic drugs.
- Worst of all, however, is the new and mysterious area of zoonotic virus contamination. Monkey, chicken, cow, horse, pig and dog tissue has always been hard to implicate in chronic disease. The CDC in 1996 admitted contamination of the early polio vaccines with Simian Virus-40 (SV-40). Despite SV-40’s presence in humans with chronic illnesses, including its concentration in cancer tumors, the CDC denied a causal relationship. More disturbing, however, is the discovery by W. John Martin in California of a “Stealth Virus,” which shows identical DNA to the Simian Cytomegalovirus (SCMV) found in African green monkeys used for polio vaccines. Dr. Martin has isolated the viruses in extremely varied neurological illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and ADD. His pioneering research is also proving that virus fragments can still damage human brain cells. Virus fragments have been appearing in vaccines for decades but the CDC has always maintained that fragments were never a danger.
- While there’s no denying that better diagnoses are enabling us to discover a lot of new illnesses, there’s no explanation for the dramatic increase in chronic illnesses that do not require high-tech diagnostic equipment. Allergies, ear infections, autism, ADD, leukemia, epilepsy, and juvenile diabetes are just a few. The truth is, no government or private source is ready to conduct any studies that address the obvious and enormous pressure that zoonotic viruses may be putting on the immature immune systems of our children. The study of slow-acting toxins is neither profitable, nor important to the “instant results” American mindset.

I think that you will agree that as guardians of your children, you need to educate ourselves in a balanced manner. You will also agree that as parents, politics or profits don’t fit into your decisions only your genuine concern for the well-being of your children.

Have you looked at the ingredients? Really looked….

DTap has…Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, & Acellular pertussis endotoxin, beef heart infusion/fetal bovine serum, aluminum, formaldehyde, thimerosal (mercury derivative), phenol/phenoxyethanol, polysorbate 80 (T ween 80), dry natural latex rubber (http://www.knowvaccines.com/dtap.htm)

Midnight In Chicago does it with their Autism Spectrum Podcasts at www.mic.mypodcast.com where people can hear the “Autism and Vaccines: Parts I & II” podcasts.

The podcasts quote sources which may be much more accurate than Ms. McCarthy’s opinion.

MIC also has the “Countdown to Midnight” CD that sends proceeds to reputable autism charities.

Spread the word. It is important we get the FACTS out on autism.

Something that everyone can agree on is… Vaccinations DO introduce a foreign substance into the human blood stream…

The debate is; are they safe or effective?

I have yet to have someone provide me or anyone I know with an Independent study that shows the safety and effectiveness of vaccines… A lot of Pro-Vaccine people will throw out CDC statistics… And yes, Europe (specifically the UK) is the 1st victim of “Vaccines for Profit” in the government.

Also today 30 plus vaccines (which are majoritively known neurotoxins)are given to our young children vs. only a dozen 15 years ago. These are adminstered in combinations for which there has been precious little interaction research and can overload a small child’s immune system.

Unless parents can delay the testing protocol entirely they should insist on the shots being administered individually to mitigate the potential harm, particularly the MMR combo.

There is a degree of cover-up here and unfortunately it will be the class action lawyers that will benefit in the future when the facts come out.

My theory: Genetics loads the gun and environment pulls the trigger.

We do need to start re-thinking what foreign elements we are introducing into our bodies in the name of health and convenience.
