Is Vaccination Really
Responsible for the Eradication of Fatal Childhood Disease?
One
of the biggest arguments from people who are advocates of immunizations is that
we have seen such a drastic reduction in deadly childhood diseases since
vaccinations have been being used.
Unfortunately for them, there is evidence that vaccination didn’t have
anything to do with the reduction in illnesses of this nature. In this chart,
you can see that the number of people who died from several of the more common
devastating diseases were declining before the introduction of vaccines to the
population.
The Evidence
A paper
published in 1977 from the Lancet, “VACCINATION AGAINST WHOOPING-COUGH:
Efficacy versus Risks” (bystianyk/Stewart) reveals, ““There was a continuous
decline [whooping cough deaths], equal in each sex, from 1937 onward.” They
report that Vaccination was started on a small scale around 1948 and then
nationally in 1957. The findings were that it did not affect the rate of
decline in deaths due to disease. The results instead point to the bilogy of
disease where the decline between 1930 and 1957 is due to the weakened parts of
the population already being removed and the spread of the disease lessening
because the population was left with stronger immunity. The reports determines,
“With this pattern well established before 1957, there is no evidence that
vaccination played a major role in the decline in incidence and mortality in
the trend of events.” Furthermore, this study shows that since 1977, the
scientific community has been aware that vaccines were not the reason that
diseases ceased to exist in our communities. These declining numbers came about
during a period when the public health agencies spread a wide campaign about
hand washing and hygienic practices to help reduce the risks of infection as
suggested by Dr Palevsky in the Documentary, A Greater Good. (Manookian) Dr. Palevsky
Do the Vaccines Work for Future Outbreaks?
Dr.
Lopez-Duran, an advocate for vaccination, claims that children of parents that refused
vaccinations were at risk for pertussis 2000% more than children that received
the vaccination. The writer than goes on to give the results of a study
stating, “Of the 156 children who acquired pertussis, 12% were children of
parents who refused vaccination.” This statistic leads me to question who then
were the other 88% of the children with pertussis? Were they vaccinated? The
research participants were all part of a large health care insurance company. This statement is not followed with
information about the ages of these children when they were infected either.
The pertussis vaccination wears off in the teens, requiring continued
vaccination to be effective. The way Dr. Lopez-Duran states his claim leads me
to believe that the vaccination is not effective.
It
Can’t Hurt to Be Safe, Vaccination is Preventative!
Supporters
go on to state that there is no scientific evidence to prove that the cause of
the severe reactions that are blamed on vaccinations are in fact from
vaccinations. This is a flawed statement as all the studies the CDC uses to
determine the safety of current vaccinations are not only paid for by the
companies producing them but are epidemic and not scientific investigations
with in depth looks t the ingredients and their affect on the human body,
including neurological health. Dr.
Lopez-Duran goes on to state, “Parents who agreed to vaccinate their children
were 2 times more likely than vaccine-refusing parents to visit the doctor for
upper respiratory infections.” His
interpretation of this statement is that the participants were biased and that
parents who refused vaccination were less likely to seek the help of a family
physician when their children were sick than those who voluntarily received the
vaccinations. I find there to be fault with this statement in the sense that if
the vac-refusing parents were less likely to seek the help of a physician when
their kids were sick and they didn’t die of severe infection, then maybe the
help of the physician wasn’t needed to begin with. If the children did acquire pertussis, as the
writer assumes is likely underreported for the same bias reasons, and they
didn’t die or need hospitalization, maybe pertussis isn’t as lethal as much of
the literature would like to convince you it is. This also shows that studies
cite children who are vaccinated have increased visits to doctor’s offices.
Let’s examine this.
If
there is a higher incidence of return patients in the vaccinated category, and
these patients were not reported to (VAERS) The Vaccination Adverse Events
Reporting System, than what were these kids seen for? It is suggested that an increase in the
common cold, asthma realted illness, reoccurring ear infections, and other
chronic illnesses are what bring these kids in. Is this not because of the
reduction in immune system function directly after the immunizations are
administered? Studies from India show that there is an increase in fevers,
diarrhea and coughs in the month following vaccinations. (Neustaedter)
Dr.
Neustaedter reports in his article, “Do
Vaccinations Disable the Immune System” that
in 1950, studies linked receiving the DPT vaccination. The study
confirmed that out of the almost 4000 kids in New York that year that were
infected with polio, that they were twice as likely to have received the DPT
vaccination 2 month before the onset of the Polio.
Doctors
interviewed for the documentary, A
Greater Good, stated that doctors are not trained in how to detect a
reaction from vaccinations. The VAERS claim that their statistics are flawed
because of the severity of under reporting from doctors and individuals.
Doctors often will not associate the side effects with the vaccinations because
it has been ingrained in them that they are 100% safe and save people’s lives.
What
are the Real Risks of Vaccination?
Each Vaccination is a combination of
aluminum, formaldehyde, mercury, antibiotics, and a minute amount of the
disease being vaccinated against. None of these ingredients have ever been
tested individually in comparable doses on human children or babies. Dr. Sears advocates that the FDA should have
done this job before these vaccinations were ever allowed to enter the market
and be injected into our bodies.
Dr.
Chris Shaw, a professor of neuroscience says aluminum is used in vaccinations
to make the injection last longer in the body, because the body doesn’t process
it out when injected instead of eaten. He conducted a study with mice where he
injected comparative quantities of aluminum and reported that there was a
significant decline in behavior, motor skills and cognitive abilities. Upon
autopsy of the injected mice, findings included severe damage to motor neurons
that were associated with long term development of Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrigs
Disease, and Alzeimer’s 20-50 years down the road. 4 Years later, no one has tried to refute Dr.
Shaw’s study and when approached about the results, the FDA responded that it
“does not believe that this particular paper brings to light the need for
additional research that is not already underway.” (Manookian)
Conclusion
If we know that the reason the common diseases
that caused death and severe illnesses at the turn of the century declined was
largely due to hygienic practices and the biological fact that the strong
survived and left us with a population of people that are resistant to the
disease, why then should we be worried about an epidemic of that nature again?
If there is clear evidence that the safety of vaccinations in the entire
population is questionable, why are we accepting legislation that is making
vaccination mandatory to all who are not using exemptions of religious or
medical nature? Why has the FDA approved the injection of chemicals into
infants if they haven’t been tested? Even if vaccinations, alone aren’t
responsible for the severe reactions that are becoming more and more common in
our society, shouldn’t there be more testing to assure people that they are
indeed safe and be offered on a voluntary basis? These are the types of
questions I want to raise to motivate you to find your own answers to what is
really the right way to handle this issue for you and your family. There are
many factors involved to why we are seeing 1 in 10 children diagnose with
Autism in today’s society. It could be a combination of an overload of toxins
and vaccinations are what drives the damage over the top, it could be because
of the reduction in breastfeeding, the increase use of neurologically damaging
drugs during labor, heavy metals in our food supply, pollution in the air. The answers are not yet clearly defined and
until they are, routine vaccination of over 30 diseases before 6 years old
should come to a halt and be examined more thoroughly on an individual basis
and the choices left in the hands of the parents, not doctors and politicians.
