Vaccines: One of the Greatest Medical Advances God has allowed us to Discover

[Guest guest]

Has anyone read this? I have a friend and she forwarded this to me. She got this

off of a homeschool group that she is on. She knows that I don't vaccinate, but

respects my wishes. Actually, she told me that she didn't even read it.

Vaccines: One of the Greatest Medical Advances God has Allowed us to Discover

Dr. Jay L. Wile, Ph.D. *

It is amazing what happens when you tell people facts that contradict their

beliefs. Ever since I posted my original page regarding the benefits of

vaccination, I have gotten the most hate-filled mail that I have ever received.

Every once in a while, I will get hate mail from an evolutionist regarding my

position on creation. That's to be expected. However, I do not expect the kind

of hate mail that I have received from other Christians. Nevertheless, I get

such hate mail, simply because I choose to look at the facts regarding vaccines!

In these e-mails, I have been called " delusional, " " deceived, " " brainwashed, "

" ignorant, " " in bed with Nazi-hold over [sic] Big Bio Pharmaceuticals, " " paid

off by the pharmaceutical companies, " and even " pro-abortion. " One person went

so far as to accuse me of not even being a young-earth creationist. He

postulated that I was part of some vast conspiracy to put vocal, atheistic

scientists in positions that make them look like Christians in order to deceive

the Body of Christ. Another person seemed to decide that the Holy Spirit was in

need of help in His job, claiming that she doubted that I was even a Christian!

All of this because I choose to look at the facts regarding vaccines and check

out the claims of the anti-vaccination movement.

Of course, I remember the last time I got hate mail from my fellow Christians.

It was during the Y2K nonsense. I posted the facts behind the Y2K issue, and Y2K

alarmists who claimed to be Christians sent me hate mail in response.

As was the case with the Y2K issue, however, some people who have honestly been

looking for the truth regarding vaccines have e-mailed me with their questions,

and I sincerely hope that I helped them. However, the vast majority of e-mails I

have received have been from those who have no desire to learn the truth. They

simply want to berate me because I choose to investigate the issue rather than

just blindly believe the claims of the anti-vaccination movement. If anyone

honestly investigates this issue, he or she cannot come to any other conclusion:

vaccines have been one of the greatest medical advances that God has allowed us

to discover.

I decided to update this page from its previous form because I think it is

important to compile the data regarding vaccines into one large resource, rather

than several individual ones. If you are really interested in learning the facts

regarding the vaccination issue, please follow the links provided below. Please

understand, however, that you must have the courage to actually face the truth.

If you have been deceived by the lies of the anti-vaccination movement, you

might be upset by what you read. I do pray that you have the fortitude to

proceed, however, as your children's lives might depend on it. Make no mistake,

the facts are crystal clear: children and adults die or are permanently injured

because of the lies of the anti-vaccination movement. If you care about your

children and your loved ones, you will carefully investigate this issue.

Before I present you with links that lead you to the truth regarding vaccines, I

want you to know a bit about why I take such a strong stance on this subject.

Firstly, I am not, in any way, associated with any pharmaceutical company. My

wife worked for a company many years ago which does have a pharmaceutical

division, but it does not produce any vaccines. She also did not work for the

pharmaceutical division. She worked in the division that produced research-grade

reagents for biomedical research. She also quit that job in 1997 to run the

business end of our ministry.

Secondly, I am not tied to the " mainstream " view on any scientific issue. I am

not only a creationist, but I am a young earth creationist. I also consider

global warming to be the scientific hoax of the century; the ozone layer problem

to be blown way out of proportion; the CFC ban to be misguided and bad for

humanity; and the " save the rainforest " movement to be well-meaning but deluded.

Obviously, then, I do not simply toe the " mainstream " line. I hold all of these

positions for the same reasons I hold my vaccination position: My faith and the

facts clearly point to the truth of those positions.

I was first introduced to the anti-vaccination movement by a biology student. I

discuss how vaccines work in my biology course, and the student was one who had

been deceived by the lies of the anti-vaccination movement. At the time,

however, I knew nothing about the movement, so I was eager to look into the

matter. After all, I could imagine that the " mainstream " scientific view of

vaccines was wrong. Certainly a lot of " mainstream " ideas are wrong (evolution,

global warming, etc.), so I was ready to believe that the " mainstream " view of

vaccinations was wrong. Thus, I read the references that the student gave me (a

few websites and Neil 's book, Vaccines: Are They Really Safe And

Effective?).

As I investigated this side of the vaccine issue, however, I became very

disappointed. The materials she gave me demonstrated mostly the ignorance and

deceit of the authors. Most of those in the anti-vaccination movement have

little idea of how the human body or modern medical science works. Also, when

they did reference the medical literature on the issue, they often lied about

what it said .

Because well-meaning Christians have been fooled by the lies of the

anti-vaccination movement, and because children and adults suffer and die when

the anti-vaccination propagandists get their way, I consider it very important

to educate those who have been fooled. Please investigate the links below. If

you have been fooled by the anti-vaccination propagandists, you will be very

surprised at what you read!

Two Mothers' Views

Here is a message that a homeschooling mother wrote in hopes that it will help

other mothers see how important it is to protect their children with

vaccinations.

Here is a story of one woman's struggle with the decision of whether or not to

vaccinate. Fortunately for her children, she ended up making the right choice.
