Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hi I am not sure if this may help you to decide http://vactruth.com/2010/07/23/fact-vaccines-have-never-eradicated-anything-ever/ I hope so From: Leah <leahmonahan2006@...>Subject: Being pulled to the other side... Should I go ahead and vax?Vaccinations Date: Thursday, 29 July, 2010, 21:04 Kid #1, I chose not to vax. She was not in childcare and I stayed home with her and breastfed her for 2 yrs. I made her organic baby food and treated her with homeopathic remedies if she became ill.Kid #2 comes along and now Kid #1 is in preschool. I filed religious exemption for vaxes (because I'm in NC and they don't allow philosophical exemption), but am now really questioning my decision. Can we say the fear mongering is working? I am fearful that my toddler is going to bring home Pertussis to my baby who is going to be hospitalized for it and live through a horrible disease (or maybe die) and all because I didn't vax. I fear that if I don't do the DTaP, RV, and Pc vaxes, I am putting my baby at risk for potentially severe diseases when the risk profile of these vaxes shows that the risk of injury from the vaxes is less than the risk of getting the disease (cite: Dr. Sears' book).But, I also question the accuracy of what is considered vaccine injury. If the CDC and FDA have a narrow definition of what is considered vaccine injury and they have no way of accounting for long-term damage from vaccines, then how can I possibly assess the risk vs. benefits?And, how safe is it to give any baby a vaccine during the first two years of life, when their brains are doing the most growth?I have so many questions and no answers. I am frustrated. I had an appointment today to get both kids vaxed and then canceled it. Husband won't read anything about vaxes, so the decision is falling on me and it is a heavy weight to carry wondering if I am doing more damage by vaxing or more damage by not vaxing.I hate being on the fence about this.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's tough because there are two issues: safety and effectiveness. First, keep in mind that no vaccine is guaranteed to work (if you even believe they do at all, which I don't). So, unless your child is truly protected by a vaccine, the biggest and most immediate risk is the vaccine itself. Second, every vaccine carries the risk of serious side effects, including death. If you are trying to keep your child from being harmed, it doesn't make sense to deliberately inflict something on them known to be harmful in the hopes it won't be AND that it will protect them (which it won't). Now about the fear of bringing home Pertussis. You admit the fearmongering is working. Then you know your fears are not based on fact but on emotion. That is not science, and it is not common sense (not being critical--just trying to spell it out). Redirect that fear to the vaccines, if in fact safety concerns are why you don't vaccinate. You fear your children are at higher risk of diseases if you don't vaccinate. Believe me, they are at higher risk if you DO because their immune systems can get screwed up by vaccines. Plus, you may get the "bonus" of an allergic, asthmatic or autistic child (among many other conditions known to be caused by vaccines). When you have sat up night after week after month with a chronically ill child that YOU caused by vaccinating, then you will know real guilt. I speak from experience. How safe is it to give a baby vaccines during the first two years of life? It's about the most unsafe time in their lives, and I think you know that. There is a reason you are torn. You know how you feel already. I don't think you're on the fence so much as being pressured to vaccinate by others, and you are allowing them to put you on that fence. Focus. You are the mother. Ask yourself if it makes sense to pump toxins into your children in the hopes that will make them healthy. Ask yourself what you will do if your child is vaccine injured and the doctor abandons you by denying it. You can nurse your children through illnesses but not so easily vaccine injury. Reread whatever helped you in your decision before. Check out the NVIC site, Neil 's books, take Sheri's classes. Your kids are still very young. You don't have the experience behind you to know if you are doing the right thing. It is very scary to be in that position. You won't be 100% sure no matter which way you choose, so just do what you think is right. Winnie Being pulled to the other side...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Winnie - this is so beautifully written! And so true as well - fear is the real killer. And the only way to defeat fear is with education which is why we all need to investigate before we vaccinate.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I can tell you that no vax is healthy. I have 3 totally unvaxxed kids and they are very healthy. When they’re sick it’s not long. Dr sears is pro-vax and if you read his book w/ a dose of skepticism you can see where he contradicts himself. Vaccines are based on faulty science, faulty logic and that comes out. You see it on the cdc site. You see it on pro-vax books. Vax. Don’t vax. Either one has risks. Everything we do in life has risks. Leave your house. Don’t leave your house. Drive a car. Walk down a sidewalk. Driving is one of the most dangerous activities there is yet you don’t think twice about hopping in the car. What are the risks of vaccines: the diseases you vaxxed for and the crap in them The risk of not vaxxing: just getting the disease. What are the benefits: Vax: NONE not vax: lifelong immunity, a stronger body See, you’re falling for their lies. If you do vax, your baby could STILL get any of the diseases and still die. Then they say ‘well no vaccine is 100% effective”.. if you don’t vax and the kid dies or gets sick they say ‘oh well you didn’t vax”… they sell it like getting the vaccine is going to mean the kids just sails through life. That’s a LIE. 100% vaccinated populations still get the disease that they are vaxxed for. But… the baby might not die. What if you vax and everything looks great? You see that. Oh I vaxxed my kid and they’re OK. Yeah but at what level? On the surface? Cellular level everything is all wrong. Vaccines change the DNA. You’re going to mess with what is already perfect? The baby was born pure and free and w/o toxins. At what load is it OK/.. what is safe? When is too much? Nobody knows. Nobody can say. I know several kids at preschool who were OK and got shots at the wrong time or too many or..whatever. now they’re autistic. There are fates worse than death. That was a horribly scary sentence : I had app’t to get both kids vaxxed. Man.. I tell ya, my stomach flipflopped and I about had a heart attack. Don’t let FEAR sell you on vaccines. Don’t buy. Learn more. learn about the body. Learn about vaccines. Learn about childhood illness. When you don’t fear the disease, you won’t buy the vaccine. Once in, you can’t ever get it out. We’re offering help and common sense and reason. I hope you take it, since you asked. I hope you don’t give into panic and poison your sweet babies. Keep learning. And to the doctor when he says ‘but your baby will die’… tell him yeah, he could die from the vaccine. Back off. is 9 and wonderfully healthy. He’s never had a vaccine and he’s only seen a doctor 3x in his whole life. and Isaac have never had a vaccine either.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 My oldest is vaxed and was doing just fine until his DPT vaccine at 15 months. Not a single solitary developmental thing written in his baby book after that. Not a single word spoken after that. (until he was 3, then he began to TRY to speak again) He is now 5, full blown autistic, and my heart breaks for him everyday. My 2 year old unvaxed, perfectly healthy baby will soon pass him up in language and social skills. Not worth the risk, in my opinion. All it got us is a life time of heartbreak. What will happen to my son when I die? Who will care for him? The state? A nursing home? That makes me feel really good. Pertussis he could have survived....it would not have been fun, but he could have survived it and gone on to live a normal life.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yep. I will never, ever, ever, ever miss ’s autism, never. He didn’t get it from vaccines but he’s still got it. I hate it. It’s robbed me of my child. It’s trapped him in his mind. He’s got the verbal skills of a 7 month old. He’s going to be 5. If he ever is better… I’ll be kissing the lint from the toes of the gods. You want to vax.. fine. But I tell ya, clear and sound and strong. You BETTER know every risk you’re taking. Read every package insert and know what every ingredient is. If anything bad happens, you need to be prepared. Don’t vax out of fear. That is just dumb and stupid and using your child as a pawn. Vax because you’ve done your research and you truly believe that it is best. NOT because it’s a reaction out of **fear**. But when the bad happens, and it will b/c you’re changing dna and changing the body at a cellular level.. you need to be prepared for the consequences of ‘yes, doc. Give my child this poison’ I don’t even use flea poison on my pets. Natural support will help the body heal itself. The body is truly amazing and given half a chance and a strong immune system, it can take the crap this world dishes but not if it’s sabotaged from within.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm sure others in this group can give way more insight but I feel like I need to share this. I am truly religiously against the vaccine process. My husband is completely the opposite. So out of respect I decided to start the vax schedule. Some doctors might refute this any way possible but my child stayed sick from literally 2-3 days after his 2month shots until I finally said no more right before it was time for his 6month shots (rsv, ear infections,colds,breathing problems etc). It was a nightmare. I tried to heal him mostly with home remedies (herbs/homeopathy) and continue to give him natural foods and also still nursing. Thank the good Lord he is now 10months and has been healthy and well for 3mo straight. My mothers intuition tells me that it has a lot to do with not vaxing anymore. My only advice is do what you feel is the best thing for your child. -K.Hancock, M.H. in trainingSent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®From: "Leah" <leahmonahan2006@...>Sender: Vaccinations Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:04:20 -0000<Vaccinations >Reply Vaccinations Subject: Being pulled to the other side...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I agree with everything Winnie said, but want to underline one sentence especially: " Ask yourself what you will do if your child is vaccine injured and the doctor abandons you by denying it. " I am a volunteer for 4 large autism organizations, as well as moderate a local group for my area. I talk to dozens and dozens of parents every year who all have almost the exact same story: child is vaccinated - child suffers advesrse symptoms - child is diagnosed with serious disability - and the doctors shrug their shoulders and mutter " coincidence " or " bad genes " . Then buh-BYE. Parents are for the most part on their own. It is horrendous. And it happens everyday. I have been witnessing this for over a decade. How many children could have been saved by now if the truth was widely known? All of these vaccine injured children exist. They are real people with real families whose lives have been devestated. But you won't see ABC running multi-million dollar commercials about them. You won't see a commercial of a little boy banging his head into the wall because of the pain of post vaccine inflammation causes him unimaginable pain. You won't see the little girl who at 10 years old has yet to have a bowel movement on the toilet because she has had diarrhea everyday since her 15 month MMR. I know these kids. They have so much courage and strength and the most beautiful souls. But they also have pain and struggles, and they are never recognized by society for what they are going through. The mainstream doctors have turned their backs on them because the represent the absolute failure of their number one products.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 And that's just (just!) autism. Less debilitating conditions are so common as to be considered "normal" for children. Those are blown off constantly as unrelated to vaccines. I know my child's was. But you would think something as blatantly obvious as thousands of families having the same experience with autism would wake up all the experts.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yes, absolutely. The CDC's own figures are that 1 in 6 American children has a learning disability. 1 in 6!!! That is crazy that society is not up in arms about this. Speech delays, dyslexia, ADHD, OCD, the list goes on and on and on. And diabetes and asthma is also on every block now. And food allergies? Peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches didn't used to kill kids, but now a kid can sit next to a kid in the school cafeteria, and just being next to peanut butter can be fatal. (peanut oil has been used as vaccine adjuvants) It is crazy! We have played God with the immune system, and it has back-fired BIG time. All of our kids are in jeopordy, not jus the kids with obvious vaccine injuries. But obvious, or more subltle, the mainstream will not recognize what they have done to our babies.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I wish it were so simple as to say that I shouldn't be pressured to vaccinate out of fear. Truth is, I have read a lot about vaccines from various sources, both for and against. The general conclusion I have come to about the two sides of the issue is that BOTH sides use fear tactics and BOTH sides claim to know best and have the " real facts. " The mainstream pro-vax side is supported by the majority of medical doctors in our country. These are not stupid people. They got through med school. They claim to have science on their side. They certainly have prestige on their side, which is apparently worth a lot to most of the people in our country, because otherwise why would they be vaxing their children? The alternative vax (or anti-vax) side is an eclectic mix of people, many of whom tout conspiracy theory as their main argument for why not to vax. This side fears the toxins of vaccines more than the diseases; fears the government, CDC, and FDA for creating a false sense of security; fears the vaccine manufacturers for being profit-driven rather than health-care driven; and fears that the possibility of vaccine injury far outweighs any potential benefits of the vaccines. Some of you who responded to my post even said that you thought the vaccines were absolutely not effective at all. And, if you believe this, then obviously the risk of vaccine injury outweighs any benefits from the vaccine. The reason I am on the fence about this is that I have never been anti-vax. I chose not to vax because I wasn't convinced that it was safe or effective for my child given our situation at the time. But, I imagine if there was a polio outbreak, I might be seriously considering whether the polio vax would be worthwhile. If my child stepped on a rusty nail, would I then go ahead and have the docs give her a tetanus shot? Me: Yes, probably. If so, then wouldn't it have been better to give her that shot preemptively? This discussion has helped me to see that my real question right now is what are the CDC's guidelines on what qualifies as vaccine injury, especially the reporting time period from the date of vaccination? If the CDC is significantly downplaying the risk of the vaccine and the true risk outweighs the vaccine's benefits, then there is no reason to vax. (It follows that I personally DO believe that vaccines may have benefits and that I also believe that our bodies are capable of processing toxins in our environment quite adequately most of the time.) I am saddened hearing about the injuries that have resulted from vaccines. It is an injustice to families who have had to suffer this kind of devastation --and to do so without support from their doctors or government. I am equally saddened to hear about the children who have suffered serious bouts of disease, some of whom have died as a result. I currently live in the midst of a community highly populated by medical doctors and nurses through the world-renowned UNC and Duke hospitals, so I have friends now who are nurses and doctors or whom are married to doctors. I hear their stories of what it's like in the pediatric ward of a hospital and it makes the risk of the diseases just as real to me as the risks of getting vaccinated and being injured from it. I can argue both sides to this issue. I can do it up and down and around. Driving myself crazy with it. I guess the question I will end with is what would you say is the #1 best thing I should read (or DVD I should see) to convince me that vaccines are not safe or are not effective? What convinced you? Leah p.s. please note that I trimmed your posts below to reflect the points you made that stood out to me the most. > > > > > > > > It's tough because there are two issues: safety and > > > effectiveness.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Leah, I first started questioning vaccines about 5 years ago, before I had children (we now have 2). No reason in particular started that search, but I just wanted to make sure my husband and I were making the best choice when the time came. I started my search with a trusted physician. I asked him what he did with his family regarding vaccines, and he said they didn't do any for their family. He told me about Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and I ordered some of her DVD's http://www.drtenpennystore.com/vaccine-products.html The 2 I got were Vaccines - What CDC Documents & Science Reveal and Vaccines: The Risks, Benefits and Choices. At this point, I was just looking for answers on both sides and got some pro-vaccine DVD's too. When I was watching the pro-vaccine DVDs, I really felt they were only giving half of the story. They were giving the scary statistics of how awful the diseases were, and minimized the side effects of the vaccines. I did watch Dr. Tenpenny's DVD's several times to digest all of the information. What I liked about them were that she was using documents from the CDC and MMWR to support why not to vacinate, facts were presented with research to back it all up. It was a decision I really struggled with at first, knowing that there are risks on both side of the fence, but the more I learned, I am truly convinced that by not vaccinating our 2 boys, now 2 and 8 months, we have made the right decision for our family. I still am always looking at the latest articles on both sides of the argument, but have not been swayed to change our stance. My parents have given us a hard time about not vaccinating the boys, and telling us about the people they know/knew with polio, and giving us newspaper clippings on the "recent outbreaks." I told them that we only want to do what is best for our family. I pray about it a lot and have not been convicted that we should do otherwise. And ultimately, God does not check our vaccination status as a prerequisite to get into heaven. Life is a blink of an eye, and yes, while these details of life are a big issue, in the grand scheme of life, we just know we do our best with our children. God knows the motive of our heart, and that's what matters. Wishing you well on your search.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yes I agree. The ones against do fear the gov’t.. they are not trustworthy. The more the cdc or the fda say something is safe, the more I question them. Look at the safety and efficacy data. For me, what really clinched things was the long, long LOOOOONG list of conflicts of interest. How on earth can they truly say ‘this is safe’ and be profiting from me buying it? Med schools are mostly paid for RX. A doctor is the mouthpiece for a RX product. Go in with something that they can’t give you a pill for. Nothing they can do. Every RX comes w/ a list of side effects that are potentially harmful. Doctors don’t heal. They don’t treat the body as a whole. You take this med for this, then that med to counteract the side effects of A, C to counteract B.. and on and on. They claim to have science on their side. It’s a claim. When you have scientists saying ‘oh vaccines couldn’t possibly have causes autism’.. really? Is that science? Science that is true doesn’t say oh it can’t possibly. The AMA was founded as a direct threat to homeopathy. They didn’t like homeopathy’s safety or proven efficacy. They were losing business. They ‘recommend’…and their recommendations are treated as law. Find something that supports the body. Helps it heal itself. Doesn’t have side effects. Is safe for a baby to get into. Is fit to each individual. You won’t find that in a MD world. With all the kids and all the vaccines….. and all the crap that is defining childhood.. our kids today are NOT healthy. went to the doc for a wart on his foot. The list of ‘does he have” was at least 2 minutes long and I just completely marveled.. how can they just take this all in stride like it’s NORMAL? It is normal. Kids are being poisoned and largely in part to vaccines. Never before have kids had so many. Never before has a nations childhood population so stricken w/ so many illnesses and toxins., in the environment. In our food. In our air. Injected straight into the blood stream. If you hit the virus naturally, it goes through first the skin then the mucous. The body has time to defend. Vaccines by-pass that. Also, we know that modern science barely has scratched the surface of their understanding of the immune system and the body. They can’t guarantee that shot you’re about to inject will be safe and do no harm nor that it will even protect them from what it’s supposed to. I love how they proclaim they can’t see the future in one breath ( we can’t know every strain of every flu that might attack) and in the next say “oh well if he hadn’t have gotten the flu vax, it would have been a much worse case” The tetanus example is classic. If you learn more about tetanus you would know that a rusty nail exposed to air wouldn’t have tetanus anyway. It can’t live in oxygen. And if you bleed the wound good, take vita C and wash it really good, you will be just fine. Besides, the vaccine they would give you wouldn’t do anything to prevent you from getting tet from that nail you just stepped on anyway. If you’ve never had the tet vaccine, you wouldn’t want it anyway. You’d need something different. And that is a pooled blood product from who knows who.. Vaccine labs have also been fined for contamination. Think that vaccine is really safe? Do you know how it’s made? Did the lab have any fines? Were there any problems? The other thing that got me questioning in the first place, if it’s so safe and so wonderful, why am I required to sign consent first? That was the first thing. The last thing was the list of conflicts of interest. It’s HUGE. You’re talking billions at stake. Oh and it’s true. Have an adverse reaction and your precious doctor who so adamantly professed how wonderful, how sciency, how safe, how efficacious they are will say ‘there’s no way the vaccine was responsible for that. She was already like that”….. and it’s heartbreaking. My first 3 are fully vaxxed to whatever they “needed” til 9 years ago, my 4th only got whatever she needed for 2 years.. those were her first and last shots, we did them at 2 and ‘caught up’..which is really scary now b/c they had me come in every 6 weeks for however..and I told them I didn’t want the chicken pox vax and they gave it anyway. My first has asperger’s. have I ever, ever had a doctor admit it could be because of vaccines? No. have they ever held my hand as I look at my girl who has no friends really? When she gets lonely and wants a bud…. No… no one ever showed up.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You have received excellent info and advice. Thought I'd give you a book recommendation " Keeping your child healthy in spite of your doctor " really helped me to understand the illnesses that these vaccines are supposedly protecting us against. It's almost a joke the obvious scare tactics used in the press!! I have been chronically ill my entire life. I was born in 1974 and that is before they really even ramped up the vaxes for kids.. allergies, asthma, eczema and then I was infected with Lyme Disease. I was misdiagnosed but still functional and then I got the hep B vaccine for a job. I got so sick that month and then 2 hours after the first month booster I started to collapse. The nurses at my job couldn't not measure ANY blood pressure on me and if I stopped walking, I would start to pass out (walking pushes blood through the veins). The ER doc laughed at me. A few days later I was unable to get out of bed and stayed that way for more than 5 years totally crippled until I got treatment. But I'm still disabled with a ruined immune system. I probably will never be free from traditional toxic meds. It's in my brain and every part of my body. Before our daughter was born, we knew there would be NO vaccines for my daughter. She never left our sight in the hospital after my completely natural birth. But I gave Lyme to my daughter. I took preventative antibiotics during pregnancy but unlike all these other moms who had healthy kids despite their Lyme, my daughter contracted the Lyme from me. The tests didn't tip us off early on (so inaccurate) but she wasn't 'right' as a baby and then was losing language and having meltdowns over nothing. At 2 she got the high fever for a week unlike she had ever had and then sudden swelling.. ER gave her IV rocephin and then antibiotic shots for two days by pediatrician after and she was perfect again! We knew she had it. But it was too late.. she was autistic from it. This is a little known cause of Autism. She is now 5 and still treating but now you'd never guess she had Autism at all unless I told you she was. Eventually she won't need the antibiotics anymore. I've tested high in heavy metals. These come from vaccines and are passed in utero. I'm sure this didn't help. (She will be getting biomedical alternative help in August finally have the $ for it. Chelation therapy will be part of it.) My daughter NEVER catches the flus, viruses and didn't even catch the chicken pox from her minibus even though EVERY KID on the bus got it... even the bus driver got the shingles (same virus). I was hoping she would get it but maybe she got immunity from the exposure. My daughter has been in 'school' since she was 2. Exposed to EVERYTHING. You should see these autistic kids.. excema, nose running all the time, always sick... I get notes about something " going around " all the time. I don't worry because she never ever gets it. She is obviously not going to get bacterial stuff due to her antibiotics (eg ear infections) so I can't testify to that, but this kid never gets anything else!!! Almost everyone in her class will be out and she'll be in. Perfect attendance this year and last year too I think. If she misses it's due to something we have to do that day... I can't remember when she's had a cold but I do remember she has had one at least. I think it lasted a couple of days with homeopathic and immune support. It barely bothered her. Then I'd get it and be in the ER unable to breathe due to the same virus that she shrugged off??? My daughter would not have recovered so quickly from her Lyme induced autism if she had been vaxed I'm sure. But I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten it in the first place had I not been vaccine injured. God bless,Jen H***The Will Of God Will Never Take You ...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I watched my child retreat into autism and lose all his language 2 days after 7 vaccines. For my son vaccines were the problem. I saw it with my own eyes. There are a lot of environmental causes and its not just the vaccines. But thousands of kids were vaccine injured. "The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it" Yep. I will never, ever, ever, ever miss ’s autism, never. He didn’t get it from vaccines but he’s still got it.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi , Thanks for the DVD recommendations! I already have Tenpenny's " What CDC Documents and Science Reveal, " but did not have the other one. I just ordered it. Yay for Amazon Prime - I will get it on Monday! I want to rewatch the one I already have, so I will do that this weekend. It has been awhile since I have seen it and I remember it was pretty dense. Leah > > > Leah, > > I first started questioning vaccines about 5 years ago, before I had children (we now have 2). No reason in particular started that search, but I just wanted to make sure my husband and I were making the best choice when the time came. I started my search with a trusted physician. I asked him what he did with his family regarding vaccines, and he said they didn't do any for their family. He told me about Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and I ordered some of her DVD's http://www.drtenpennystore.com/vaccine-products.html The 2 I got were Vaccines - What CDC Documents & Science Reveal and Vaccines: The Risks, Benefits and Choices. ... > Wishing you well on your search. > > > > > > Vaccinations > From: leahmonahan2006@... > Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:49:52 +0000 > Subject: Re: Being pulled to the other side...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks for the link , I hadn't seen that one before. VERY chilling. It seems to me the way vaccines are currently marketed, is by emphasizing how bad the disease is. How bad any particular disease is, doesn't mean the vaccine for it is safe or effective. But that seems to be the angel. As consumers, that is really a bum deal. Adverse reactions are rarely recorded, so they don't exist. No record = no problem. So just how prevalent vaccine injury is, it is really hard to tell. But as I told my sons pediatrician recently, I can't take any more chances on these " coincidences " anymore. Unless she can give me absolute assurance that he will not react adversely, I cannot let him have any more. She can't, so I won't allow it. Sylvia > > > > And that's just (just!) autism. Less debilitating conditions are so common as to be considered " normal " for children. Those are blown off constantly as unrelated to vaccines. I know my child's was. But you would think something as blatantly obvious as thousands of families having the same experience with autism would wake up all the experts. > > > > Winnie > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Leah - there is a huge amount on dangers of vaccines from many sources not just fear mongering of " anti-vaxers " . sounds like you need to do tons more research. We can't do it for you. I give it to you methodically in my vaccine dangers course Part 1 using a huge number of sources. More and more respectable doctors are waking up every day and speaking out. You need to do more research, pure and simple. http://www.wellwithin1.com/bookstor.htm#vaccine is my webpage with books - main one is Vaccine Safety Manual and then their are Dr. Sherri Tenpenny's DVD's http://drtenpenny.com/store_a.aspx and my class which will start again in September. I am formerly a pediatric nurse and sorry, but they are giving you lots of misinformation about what its like in pediatrics. We have very sick children due to vaccines. Children sicker than ever before. Sheri listowner > > Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I wish it were so simple as to say that I shouldn't be pressured to vaccinate out of fear. Truth is, I have read a lot about vaccines from various sources, both for and against. The general conclusion I have come to about the two sides of the issue is that BOTH sides use fear tactics and BOTH sides claim to know best and have the " real facts. " > > The mainstream pro-vax side is supported by the majority of medical doctors in our country. These are not stupid people. They got through med school. They claim to have science on their side. They certainly have prestige on their side, which is apparently worth a lot to most of the people in our country, because otherwise why would they be vaxing their children? > > The alternative vax (or anti-vax) side is an eclectic mix of people, many of whom tout conspiracy theory as their main argument for why not to vax. This side fears the toxins of vaccines more than the diseases; fears the government, CDC, and FDA for creating a false sense of security; fears the vaccine manufacturers for being profit-driven rather than health-care driven; and fears that the possibility of vaccine injury far outweighs any potential benefits of the vaccines. Some of you who responded to my post even said that you thought the vaccines were absolutely not effective at all. And, if you believe this, then obviously the risk of vaccine injury outweighs any benefits from the vaccine. > > The reason I am on the fence about this is that I have never been anti-vax. I chose not to vax because I wasn't convinced that it was safe or effective for my child given our situation at the time. But, I imagine if there was a polio outbreak, I might be seriously considering whether the polio vax would be worthwhile. If my child stepped on a rusty nail, would I then go ahead and have the docs give her a tetanus shot? Me: Yes, probably. If so, then wouldn't it have been better to give her that shot preemptively? > > This discussion has helped me to see that my real question right now is what are the CDC's guidelines on what qualifies as vaccine injury, especially the reporting time period from the date of vaccination? If the CDC is significantly downplaying the risk of the vaccine and the true risk outweighs the vaccine's benefits, then there is no reason to vax. (It follows that I personally DO believe that vaccines may have benefits and that I also believe that our bodies are capable of processing toxins in our environment quite adequately most of the time.) > > I am saddened hearing about the injuries that have resulted from vaccines. It is an injustice to families who have had to suffer this kind of devastation --and to do so without support from their doctors or government. I am equally saddened to hear about the children who have suffered serious bouts of disease, some of whom have died as a result. I currently live in the midst of a community highly populated by medical doctors and nurses through the world-renowned UNC and Duke hospitals, so I have friends now who are nurses and doctors or whom are married to doctors. I hear their stories of what it's like in the pediatric ward of a hospital and it makes the risk of the diseases just as real to me as the risks of getting vaccinated and being injured from it. > > I can argue both sides to this issue. I can do it up and down and around. Driving myself crazy with it. I guess the question I will end with is what would you say is the #1 best thing I should read (or DVD I should see) to convince me that vaccines are not safe or are not effective? What convinced you? > > Leah > > > p.s. please note that I trimmed your posts below to reflect the points you made that stood out to me the most. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Jen I would suggest she may have become autistic from the antibiotics, not the so-called lyme. I see this in the children I treat that have autism or borderline autism and have NOT been vaccinated (and it is very few children compared to vaccinated). They nearly all have a history of antibiotics while in utero, during labor/delivery, or post-delivery given directly to them or via mom's breastmilk. I would suggest the antibotics are a serious cause. Sheri listowner > > You have received excellent info and advice.
