Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 We do not know that vaccines are NOT implicated in the cancers they are treating. On almost every vaccine package insert (or product information) that I have read in recent years, it is stated that the vaccine has not been evaluated for the potential to cause carcinogenicity and genotoxity, etc. The other day, I got a copy of Shorter's The Health Century from my local library, and am looking forward to reading it over the holidays. Shorter is the University of Toronto professor who conducted the interview with Maurice Hilleman, that was broadcast on YouTube by Leonard Horowitz. There are other interviews included in that book, where at least one other researcher, Dr. Bernice Eddy, also found cancerous tumors in mice that had been injected with polio vaccine (I believe it was). However, I'll have to wait until school is out next week, before I can give this book a closer read.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I would not be at all surprised to find that many of the cancers which are occurring today, were caused by vaccines injected in the past. That is likely a "given", since most (perhaps even all) vaccines have not been tested for the potential to cause carcinogenicity. It is interesting that almost all vaccine manufacturers attach this brief note in their product information/product insert section. Does this mean they will get away with whatever damages were caused? They likely will, thanks to riders which absolved them of any responsibility for damages caused by vaccines, which they developed and/or promoted, but WERE NOT EVALUATED FOR THEIR POTENTIAL TO CAUSE CARCINOGENICITY, and GENOTOXICITY. Why are people allowing vaccines that have not been tested/evaluated for their potential to cause CARCINOGENICITY and GENOTOXICITY to be injected into their children or even themselves? They must either be a bunch of idiots, or they know nothing about this. I would think the latter is true. Do your homework, friends, before the powers that be (and want to continue being so...) get the best of you!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I had a cat that had a type of cancer that only dogs get. That's what the vet said he had never seen it on a cat before. The cat is still alive he hasn't been vaccinated since the cancer was removed 8 years ago. dpowell605 <POWDER914@...> wrote: Vets have noted cancers in dogs at injection sites..> >> > Actually, St Jude IS wonderful.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 We aren't getting our cats vaccinated either. All they got was whatever vaccines they received while at the shelter from where we adopted them. They don't need rabies vaccines, because they are indoor cats and when we do let them outside at the cottage, they are either on a leash or we stick with them like glue and they don't even try to go far. However, I can forsee problems coming up if we ever try to take them to a vet for other health issues. One of the first things they ask for is the cat's vaccine records, to ensure that they are up to date on their vaccines before even looking at them.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have a vet that I have discussed vaccines with-he knows and completely undeerstands and if i have to go for toher reasons he never bothers me about it. I am sure you can find an understanding vet. Sometimes tho if you have to go away and decide to leave your animal at the vet for an extended period=they won't keep them there without vaccines. I just get someone to come in my house when i have to go away for a period of time. good luck. PS I used to vaccinate them years ago(they are all indoor) and 3 died of cancer. Now the others are all surviving a long time--unvaccinatedAasa <penas7ar@...> wrote: We aren't getting our cats vaccinated either.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for your advice, Maurine. It may take some time to find an "understanding" vet. However, I am glad to know that it may be possible, going by your experience.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 My vets office will not board my cat unless he has *all his shots*! Nor will they groom or give him a bath. A Maine Coon, he is a handfull! Probably because of the shots he had for the cat show where we found him at a year of age. He is a winner though, I hope he survives the previous year's vaccines. I only want to do the rabis shot,we have a lot of sick animals in the wild here, sometimes he does get out. ng Re: Re: I Am Legend We aren't getting our cats vaccinated either.

That'swhen --" I stopped him right there & said, "YOu don't have to explain it to me,you see that little girl out there? She has autism because of avaccine reaction, only me would this also happen to with our cat afterevery thing else!" He told me it was probably the FeLV and he would recommend in thefuture to...I don't even remember what I he said. I told him not toworry, there would be no more "next time." We probably will do rabiesagain because she is an outdoor cat & we have lots of 'possums & racoons in the neighborhood, along with active cases of rabies in theregion each summer. But we ain't ever doing the FeLV again. We alsohave a service dog in training, so we have to have the mandatory onesfor her to have public access. Debi Never miss a thing. Make your homepage.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 You can request that your vet order the rabies vaccine withOUT the thimerasol (MERCURY). Same manufacturer and I think it even costs less. GO FIGURE! Our vet listened to me and now only gives that vaccine mercury free. Unfortunately not all of the vaccines are offered without thimerasol but if more of us ask or refuse to vaccinate they may change the ingredients. FWIW our vet does not think the lyme vaccine is effective....she has vaccinated lots of dogs for lyme that did get lyme anyway. The lyme vaccine can only be purchased with mercury. --- Nora Gottlieb <nwgott@...> wrote: > My vets office will not board my cat unless he has > *all his shots*! > Nor will they groom or give him a bath. > A Maine Coon, he is a handfull!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 the lyme vaccine is fairly new I believe and I think it is still optional.(well it's really optional anyway). maurineDebi <fightingautism@...> wrote: I agree. I'll be honest, I've always not paid animal shots too muchattention because...well...they're animals & since I've had kids Idon't get nearly as attached. But, my kids do. And, since we'veinvested so much time & energy into getting our SD trained, I'vebecome far more concerned. The last thing we need is to have put somuch time into a dog that gets sick because of a shot. It is hard,though, in a region where access isn't so easily given to a SD to thenfight the shots battle on top of it, on top of already fighting it forkids. I don't think Lyme is required here, but I could be wrong.Debi >> You can request that your vet order the rabies vaccine> withOUT the thimerasol (MERCURY).
