the controversy of vaccinations

Yes there is a controversy. Amazing what we are not told, huh? Sometimes what you don’t know, can hurt you!

When discussing vaccines, it is important to keep in mind the following:

• long-term studies (that is, over months or years) are not performed.
• the early claim of vaccine “success” did not take into account the improvements of living standards and sanitation occurring before & during their introduction, nor even acknowledge the already decreasing occurrence of the diseases for which these vaccines were created.
• the negative effects are often glanced over or ignored, even when the disease being vaccinated against increases after mass inoculations for it.
• preventative options other than vaccinations are not discussed openly or adequately researched.
• often those pushing a certain vaccine have a personal investment in it—that is, there are conflicts of interest, particularly financial ones.
• vaccines are full of known or potentially harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, mercury, aluminum, the “dead” disease itself, and products derived from animals (for those vegetarians and vegans among you).
• finally, imagine being an infant 6-weeks old and having multiple shots full of such ingredients bombarding your immature immune system. What long-term ill effects are we ignoring?

To avoid massive quoting, I am simply going to provide links to certain sites that have already gathered enormous amounts of information on vaccines. Please check these places out!

• Jon Whale’s Vaccine Section – Quite informative, well-organized, with many links. Don’t forget about your pets--see the animal vaccines section too!
• National Vaccine Information Center – a non-profit educational organization
• Vaccination Information & Choice Network – information categorized by vaccine type
• World Natural Health Organization's Vaccine News & Articles - a list of articles from the past few years.
  

Many of these sites provide links to other organizations and websites dedicated to informing the public about vaccines. Don’t be afraid to do a little research of your own.

As a final note, I want to mention that animal vaccinations are more often than not unnecessary and harmful. The same amount given to a komondor (weighing 100-150 lbs) is given to a miniature poodle. Giving booster shots every year—even every few years—is almost completely unnecessary! There is even that not-so-odd occurrence when a pet gets ill and dies right after receiving its vaccinations or boosters.

A Personal Story: Indy, a lemon beagle belonging to my beau’s family, and quite healthy, is taken for a check-up & his boosters. Within two days he is seriously ill. The vet is surprised to find out that suddenly Indy has a serious cancer. The cancer spreads through his bloodstream. A week after the shots, he is dead. Obviously the only change in Indy’s life was the vaccine booster shots. Sometimes it is not so obvious or not so quick, and we do not make the connection between illness/death and vaccines.

As I said earlier, what you don’t know can hurt you and even kill you.
