Vaccinations are highly controversial these days, and rightly so.  They have been for 100 years or so.  In fact, we did not and will not “vaccinate” our childtren.  The risk is simply too great.  When I was in the US Army, the Army decided to vaccinate all the troops against a strain of the flu that was particularly dangerous.  I got my shot in the morning, and by 7 PM that night I was shaking like a leaf in the wind.  I spent the next full week in my bed, rising only to vomit or “other”.  I remember asking God to let me die, the suffering was so bad.  That “vaccination” to protect me nearly killed me, and did in fact kill 600 other soldiers.  It was so deadly that the Army terminated the vaccination program.

But that’s not why we do not allow the government to inject our children.  Our decision was made in 2005, when a customer of mine shared with me his sons development of autism, and his opinion that the vaccinations caused it.  My wife was expecting our first son at the time, so I hit the Internet and researched “vaccinations”.  About a week later, my wife and I agreed that vaccinations were out and that we would not allow them under any circumstances.

There is currently an epidemic of whooping cough in California.  Pertussis, it is called, and lots of MD’s and medical associations are harping for stricter vaccination requirements.  As if it is any of their business.  What you will not read in any mass media is this: There is a disproportionately larger number of pertussis incidence and mortality in individuals of Hispanic ethnicity.

In a June, 2010 bulletin the CDPH says that “Since 1998, more than 80 percent of the infants in California who have died from pertussis have been Hispanic.” All California deaths this year were latino infants. “Infants have the highest burden of pertussis disease. Hispanics are overrepresented in pertussis cases, and the reason remains unclear. Immunization coverage did not seem to play a role and no differences in socioeconomic risk factors were found in Hispanic children, including family size and household contacts, with the exception of higher Medicaid coverage. Future studies and immunization policies for the prevention of pertussis should target the elimination of this disparity.”

So the pertussis epidemic in California is one taking place in the community of illegals, and it is the illegals presenting the disease to the community of American citizens in California.  Illegal immigration is the problem, not vaccinations.

According to the University of Michigan Health System research, vaccinations are the number one medical concern of parents in America.  Conversly, the American Academy of Pediatrics considers anti-vaccinators to be a threat to “America’s children”.

I don’t know about your kids, but my kids belong to God, and to my wife and I.  No government pulls rank in my family when it comes to our children.  Seriously, do you actually have confidence in our government?  Do you even trust it any more?  Do you believe for a single moment that “the government” has your best interests in mind?

Well, how effective are vaccines in preventing disease? Let’s see…

* In the 1986 Kansas whooping cough outbreak, 90 percent of the affected children had been fully vaccinated
* In the 1994 outbreak in Ohio, 82 percent had been vaccinated
* 74 percent of kids had their shots in the 1996 Vermont outbreak.
* Between 1983 and 1990, there was a 423% increase in measles cases among those vaccinated
* in 2006, the largest mumps outbreak in 20 years occurred. Among those who suffered from mumps, 63% were “immunized.”
* In 2007, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the flu vaccine had “no or low effectiveness” against influenza or influenza-like illness. The analysis of data showed that the vaccine protected from zero to fourteen percent of vaccine participants

BTW, in 2006, there were no deaths from the mumps.

One point I wanted to put out there, when you hear about how “deadly” these diseases are, you have to realize the statistics are taken world wide, with 95% of those cases occurring in underdeveloped countries with poor sanitation and no clean drinking water. These same children are dying from simple illnesses, starvation and dehydration as well. So basically, only 5% of cases are reported between the entire North American Continent, Most of developed Europe and Australia (along with other developed countries too).

But, decide for yourself.  Here are some scientifically valid research papers regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines:

• In 1988, Dietrich used MRI to show that developmentally delayed children had alterations in their myelin. Coulter described that central nervous system damage can be exhibited as abnormal behavior of the child. In 1935, Thomas Rivers, experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) can be the result of a viral or bacterial infection of the nervous system. "The fact of the matter is that it is a matter of record that it was known that vaccination produced encephalitis since 1926." The authors stated, "In regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is rare. ... It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccinations and the encephalitis (brain damage) which follows it." Vaccines have been linked to seizures, convulsions and epilepsy.

1. Monkey kidneys are used to develop polio vaccines.
2. SV-40, a cancer-causing virus, thrived in monkey kidneys.
3. Polio vaccines were contaminated.
4. Millions of people in the USA and throughout the world were infected.
5. Cancer rates have increased. SV-40 is found in brain tumors, bone cancers, lung cancers, and leukemia.
