Why Vaccines Aren't Safe


Do you really know what’s in a vaccine? Does your doctor? And are they truly safe? These are just a few of the questions addressed in this well-researched and presented video.

You’ll learn revealing truths, such as the fact that most pro-vaccine studies are supported by money from the pharmaceutical companies, and hear a medical doctor discuss how a vaccine he gave his own child resulted in autism. Once he uncovered the truth, he vowed never to vaccinate himself or his family ever again.

Now you, too, can hear the truth behind the lies you have been told about vaccine safety.


Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Vaccinations are one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine. Although the vast majority of the conventional medical community believes they are an example of “preventive medicine,” there is a growing community that strongly disagrees.
 
On an ethical level, there is the issue of their compulsory nature. Should you and your children be forced to have something injected into your bodies, for any reason? This is precisely the case with vaccinations.

Unfortunately, the situation in the United States is getting even worse in this area. Many state governments are mandating these vaccines -- and failure to comply results in prison time. The intrusion of the government into our personal freedom is unconscionable.

Meanwhile, ALL vaccines are immune suppressing, which means they depress your natural immune functions, leaving you vulnerable to any number of diseases.

And this is not even taking into account the vaccine additives, such as the mercury preservative thimerosal, which has been linked to autism and other neurological and developmental disorders in children.

Many of the vaccines that are now “required” for children are not even medically necessary. At the top of my list of vaccinations that are highly questionable are the:
Get the Facts Before Vaccinating

For some of you, this may be the first you’re hearing about vaccinations’ potential for harm, and their questionable effectiveness. But please don’t take my word for it.

You have at your fingertips a very powerful tool to find out the facts: the Internet. On this site alone there are thousands of articles about vaccines, their potential side effects, and their dangerous history.

And remember, you still have the legal right to refuse to vaccinate your children. While all 50 states have immunization requirements, 28 allow parents to opt out for medical or religious reasons. Another 20 states allow parents to opt out for personal or philosophical reasons as well.

My previous article, How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds, explains how you can go about practicing this right, and there is also an entire chapter in my book Take Control of Your Health devoted to this very topic.

Knowledge truly is power, and the more you know about vaccinations, the more empowered you’ll be to make the best decision for the health of you and your family.

I'm glad i found sites like mercola.com, ever since i never was coaxed into flu vaccines, i find my avoiding flus (unlike my friends) because i avoid sugar and junk. They always argue life cannot be that great without junk food, and i always remark, you can't imagine life without junk food. You lose the dreary daze, the constant colds, wasted spending on candy, and you gain so much energy. There has never been a time that i have felt so able to recover from a normal school night's sleep, even when sometimes i am exercising a good 90 minutes or more a day! I only wish my friends would listen sometimes when i explain how easy (and the food is still very good), but they are addicted to sugar and have no desire to give it up.

Thank you for this link. I wish the information was available 22 years ago when vaccines were forced on us, without adequate warning of the risks and deception.

My firstborn son has been autistic since the DPT vaccination. It's tragic to wonder how his life would have been different without that tragic turn.

New study out of Harvard:
http://www.scipub.org/fulltext/ajbb/ajbb4273-84.pdf
Mercury levels in brains of those autopsied w/autism had 68.2% higher mercury levels.  Though, it's a correlation the study says.

My child started having seizures after her 15 month MMR.  Genetics are certainly involved, but the vaccines seemed to be the rug pulled out from under her. 

They'd rather be politically correct than to at least ask questions.  I don't care if they found mercury was not the cause of ASD, but you never shut the book on questions.  That is not a true scientist.

Every patient in my chiropractic office believed that the immunization program, modern medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry are the saviors of our modern world of health. After changing my office to an open treatment room forum, I now teach while I adjust. Now they know the truth.

Keep fighting the fight.  I will continue to be a mamabear when it comes to vaccines for my family.  When my firstborn was an infant, I switched from a pediatrician to a family practictioner because I was tired of being berated and lectured for my belief that vaccines are  worse for you than the disease.  Dex I am so sorry about your son.

And if the Morlocks* exterminate us, they exterminate themselves. Parasites that destroy their host(s) doom themselves!
