11 resons not to vaccinate (from )

[Guest guest]

1. Some vaccines contain things such as mercury and

formaldehyde as well as many other substances which are

known to be very hazardous to human health (see below

for complete list of ingredients).

2. Many vaccines are cultured on mediums such as monkey

kidneys, chick embryos and human diploid cells (cells

from an aborted fetus) which raises moral concerns for

me, but this also causes me concern as to what genetic

material is being injected into a child's body along

with the vaccine ingredients and what possible

consequences that may carry (there is speculation that

the HIV virus originated from a bad batch of polio

vaccine cultured on green monkey kidneys).

3. Vaccines have not been tested for any possible

carcinogenic (cancer causing), teratogenic (gene

altering) effects or their effects on the reproductive

system (it says this right in the product inserts from

the manufacturers).

4. Vaccines are not 100% effective so the child can

still get the disease even if they are vaccinated, and

a child can actually get a diseasesometimes from the

vaccine if it is a live vaccine.

5. A person would not normally contract 5 diseases at

one time naturally, yet at 2, 4 and 6 mth. visits a

baby is injected with five vaccines (all combined in

one shot BTW which raises even more concerns in my

mind).

6. There is no definite proof that vaccines are

responsible for the decline in certain diseases -

improved sanitation, medical care and less crowding may

also have contributed to the decline in certain

diseases.

7. By vaccinating children, many cases of certain

diseases (ex. measles)have now shifted to the adult

population where the disease is often more serious and

debilitating.

8. If a child contracts a disease normally it usually

enters through a mucous membrane in their body (ex.

nose, throat) and travels through many defense

systems in the body before it possibly reaches the

bloodstream, but when a child is vaccinated the vaccine

is injected intramuscularly so it goes almost

immediately into the bloodstream so the disease does

not go through the normal stages it would have to if it

was acquired naturally.

9. There has been a staggering increase in autism

(which it is speculated is sometimes caused or

triggered by the MMR vaccine), and many chronic

illnesses (ex. asthma) since vaccinations began to be

widely used (one theory is that possibly a child's

immune system would normally, without vaccination,

learn to fight off things like measles, chickenpox,

etc. if they were contracted and that would strengthen

the child's immune system and they would be better able

to fight off other illnesses and infections whether

major or minor, but since most children are vaccinated

today their body often doesn't have to fight off things

like measles, chickenpox, etc.so their immune systems

are actually weaker).

10. Often if a child catches an illness such as

measles, mumps, or even polio, they may have very

uncomfortable symptoms of that illness, but as long as

a child isn't immunocompromised the disease/illness

isn't likely to cause irreversable or life-threatening

complications (ex. I used to think that if someone

contracted polio they would definitely be paralyzed

but I have found out through research that polio can

often only cause flu-like symptoms and nothing else if

the person who catches it has a strong immune system).

11. The same amount of vaccine that is given to a 4 yr.

old is given to an 18 mth. old and a 2 mth. old, etc.

and that concerns me as well.

Gretchen... you are great. Just wanted to tell you. The information that

you have provided to help us mothers remember why we do not vaccinate is

wonderful. I use this information to pass out to all my new parent friends

and family. It is easier for them to read it in black and white then for

me to explain it so they can look at me like I am so extremist!
