Vaccines:
Information You Need Before You Vaccinate
The Belief in Vaccines
It is interesting that discussions over vaccination often become heated, even volatile and sometimes hostile. Would the same debate rage over an antibiotic or an antihypertensive medicine if there was evidence it was causing harm? When it becomes obvious what thousands have been have been injured by a drug such as Vioxx, it is removed from the market. We stop the use of drugs until they are proven safe. Not so with vaccines. Vaccines are promoted with fanfare until they are statistically proven to cause harm. The thousands of individuals who suffer from vaccine reactions are not considered to be mathematically significant. Why the double standard?
Vaccination is built around a "belief system." We believe vaccines are safe; we believe vaccines are important to health; we believe the stories we've been told about vaccines being responsible for the elimination of smallpox and polio. And we really want to believe our doctor has read all the available information on vaccines--pro and con--and is telling us the complete truth about vaccines.
However, belief is based on faith, not necessarily on fact. For example, we want to believe that vaccinating our children will keep them from getting sick. However, there is a plethora of information documenting this is not necessarily so. Go HERE for a list of examples. (ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW....)
What facts do we know about vaccines? A review of the literature and the CDC documents reveals the following:
1. Vaccine safety studies are relatively small and include only healthy children. However when a vaccine trial has been completed, vaccines are given to ALL children, regardless of the condition of their health, family history or genetics.
2. Vaccine safety studies are short. Most clinical trials monitor for side effects a paltry 21 days, sometimes, it is only for 5 days. It can take months before immune system complications appear. This arbitrary deadline, established by the FDA, precludes associating vaccines with chronic health disorders. "Safe" is a designation given based on limited information.
3. Vaccine safety studies do not use a true placebo. One of the Gold Standards in medical research is the "placebo-controlled" trial. An inactive substance, such as sterile water or saline, is given as a placebo to one group of participants, while the treatment group is given the new drug. The data is analyzed to compare the number of side effects that occurred in those given the drug compared to the number of side effects that occurred in those given the placebo. However, the "placebo" used in vaccine research is not an inert substance; it is another vaccine. Inert, sterile water doesn't cause a reaction; as substitute vaccine can. If both vaccines have the same number of reactions, the study reports that the vaccine "is as safe as a placebo." This is deceptive science.
4. Vaccine-induced antibodies do not correlate with protection. In fact, the esteemed journal, Vaccine stated this clearly "…It is known that, in many instances, antigen-specific antibody titers do not correlate with protection." Here's the full reference: PMID: 11587808
Vaccination has been accepted as safe, effective and protective for nearly 200 years. It can be described as a medical "sacred cow," by definition, a medical procedure unreasonably immune to criticism. A strong response is generated when someone suggests that the "cow" should be "sacrificed." It is heresy to suggest that the "status quo" is wrong.
When Copernicus insisted that the sun was the center of the solar system it went against the philosophical and religious beliefs that had been held during the medieval times. When two other Italian scientists of the time, Galileo and Bruno, embraced Copernican theory the results was considered blasphemous. Bruno was tried before the Inquisition, condemned and burned at the stake in 1600. Thirty years later, Galileo was brought forward and in front of his "betters," was forced to renounce his beliefs under the threat of torture and death. Even after his confession, was sentenced to imprisonment for the remainder of his days.
The more one investigates vaccination and studies the adverse effects attributed to vaccines, the more one becomes a Copernican heretic. I have personally invested more than 8,000 hours since 2000 to unmask the truth about vaccines. If the result of this inquiry and exposure is to be called a heretic, than I am proud to be in wonderful company.
