Vaccines Did Not Save Us - 2 Centuries of Official Statistics

June 15, 2012

Two centuries of UK, USA and Australian official death statistics show conclusively and scientifically modern medicine is not responsible for and played little part in substantially improved life expectancy and survival from disease in western economies.

The main advances in combating disease over 200 years have been better food and clean drinking water. Improved sanitation, less overcrowded and better living conditions also contribute. This is also borne out in published peer reviewed research...

Vaccines and the Peanut Allergy Epidemic

Have you ever wondered why so many kids these days are allergic to peanuts? Where did this allergy come from all of a sudden?

Before 1900, violent reactions to peanuts were unheard of. Today over a million children in this country are allergic to peanuts. What happened? Why is everybody buying EpiPens now? Looking at all the problems with vaccines during the past decade, [2] just a superficial awareness is enough to raise the suspicion that vaccines might have some role in the appearance of any novel allergy among children.

13-year old Michelle Cedillo is at the center of a court case pitting thousands of families of children with autism against the medical establishment.

While a number of prestigious medical institutions say there is no link between vaccines and autism, the families believe vaccines caused their children's autism, and have taken their case to court.

The parents of 12-year-old Michelle Cedillo asked a federal court to find that their child's autism was caused by common childhood vaccines, a precedent-setting case that could pave the way for thousands of autistic children to receive compensation.

Special Master George Hastings Jr. thanked the family for allowing theirs to be the first of nine test cases that will help guide the resolution of some of the nearly 5,000 similar claims lodged with the government.

"These antibodies actually attach themselves to the nicotine molecules, and this complex is so large it can't pass through the blood/brain barrier, and so this nicotine cannot get into the brain," said Hatsukami, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Vaccine Schedule: This Doctor Supports a Flexible Schedule

He's not antivaccine, he says, but he'll work with parents who have safety concerns.

My main argument for supporting a flexible approach is that it is more likely to increase overall vaccination rates at a time when were are seeing a critical drop in public trust in government agencies, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that set the recommended schedule.

She sees no reason to leave any child unprotected against a vaccine-preventable disease.

There was a lot of research involved in establishing this schedule endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and other medical organizations. Parents who deviate from it are choosing to err on the side of unknown health risks against actual proven benefits.

Vaccine Registries - What's All the Fuss About?

In January, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare introduced two new bills to the Idaho Senate Health and Welfare Committee that would make it impossible to remove a child's name and date of birth from the "voluntary" vaccine registry.

The original Idaho legislation from 1999 created a voluntary system into which parents opted their children IN. In recent years however, and as is often the case, the vaccine registry morphed into a system where parents must opt their children OUT. The legislation introduced this year would have allowed the system to morph further by tracking the vaccine status of every person and making it difficult to get all their information out - thankfully the legislation was stopped but back to the real issue - this sort of regulatory creep is something we should all fear and guard against.

Vaccine refusals are on the rise

Sign On San Diego

Getting inoculated for diseases such as whooping cough and measles used to be a childhood rite of passage. Now with shifting parental attitudes about vaccine safety, a growing number of California children are entering kindergarten without shots.

The Watchdog Institute, found that waivers signed by parents who choose to exempt their children from immunizations for kindergarten enrollment have nearly quadrupled since 1990. California allows parents to opt out of some or all shots on the basis of personal beliefs, be it religious objections or distrust of the medical establishment.

Schools with the highest exemption rates tend to be private schools, public charter schools, and traditional public schools in affluent areas. Among schools with 25 or more kindergartners last year, 14 had immunization opt-outs for more than 15 percent of their kindergarten class. The top was the Waldorf School of San Diego in City Heights, at 51 percent.
