Childhood Vaccination Truths

Many parents do not question that their child should be vaccinated because, like most things we do in life, we learn early on that it is "supposed" to be done. But not everyone agrees that all vaccines are safe for all children. Newborn babies get full adult doses of vaccinations and receive close to three dozen shots of ten different diseases by age five. As a parent, it is up to you to be informed and know the realities. There are supportive pediaticians should you decide not to vaccinate. In Massachusetts your child is still able to attend public schools without being fully immunized. You have the right to refusal and, if you decide that certain vaccinations feel right for your child, you also have the right to decide on an alternate vaccination schedule that may be safer for your child. We have provided lots of good reading for you here and also some basic facts. Know what you're doing before your child takes the risk:

Summary of What your Doctor May Not Tell You, by Dr. Dawn Khoury

Most diseases were on the decline long before vaccines were introduced (see charts)
Vaccines may contain acetone, formaldehyde, aluminum, and thimerisol which is a highly poisonous form of mercury, a known cause of Autism
Vaccines are grown on chicken eggs, animal tissue including monkeys, and aborted human fetal tissue
Doses are not based on weight and your baby would receive the same dose that you would
Less than 10% of all adverse vaccine reactions are reported to VAERS.
About 10% of families who apply for money from the Vaccine Injured Children's Fund receive any and there are no appeals and no jury if your child is adversely affected.
Since certain vaccines have been introduced, SIDS is on the rise

SIDS was virtually non-existant prior to 1950
A 1980 study from UCLA showed that most SIDS deaths were within one week of receiving the DPT immunization
The peak age for SIDS is 2-4 months and this is the same peak age for first vaccinations
Japan dropped DPT from vaccines in 1975, after which SIDS became non-existant in Japan and Japan became #1 in infant mortality.
Autism and ASD are increasing at an alarming rate

The symptoms of Autism and mercury toxicity mirror each other
Children with Autism have a genetic predisposition of being unable to evacuate heavy metals from their body
Testosterone seems to accelerate the effects of Mercury in the body (thus it is far more common in boys than girls)
In the 1930s, approximately 1:2000 children has Autism; Thimerisol was added to vaccines and by 1970, 1:1000; By 2000, 1:250 and TODAY 1:150 children have Autism.
Autism is up 870% from 1993 to 2003.
