Is the Hepatitis A Vaccine a good idea for everyone? Even the CDC states: “Good personal hygiene and proper sanitation can also help prevent the spread of hepatitis A.”
There are two versions of the hepatitis A vaccine available: Havrix by GSK and VAQTA by Merck. You can click on the brand to read the complete vaccine package inserts (vpi) supplied by the manufacturers from the FDA website. Some points to note: Headings 6. Adverse Reactions, 11. Description and 13. Statement concerning cancer, gene mutation, and fertility. These same headings are used in all vaccines.
Both vaccines are grown using MRC-5 human diploid cells harvested from an aborted human baby. Both vaccines contain residual DNA fragments from this human baby.
The other concerning ingredients are highlighted. The amount may be claimed to be ‘very small’ but injecting aluminum, formaldehyde, formalin, sodium borate, sodium chloride, bovine albumin, etc. in any amount is a questionable practice.
Who is at risk for Hepatitis A infection? From CDC website
How is hepatitis A infection transmitted? or HOW WOULD I CATCH IT?
Are there reasons NOT to get a hepatitis A vaccine? Are there risks? The following are screen shots taken directly from the vpi showing just some of the information under “Adverse Reactions”:
As a Christian saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and cleansed from my sins through His blood, I cannot consent to the use of aborted human baby body parts for any scientific reason. Even more abhorrent is injecting fragments of those aborted baby body parts into the body. The Old Testament emphasis the life giving properties of blood. In the New Testament we understand that our body is the temple of the Spirit of God and a sacred place. A good friend wrote more about that here.
The longterm impact of injecting human DNA cell fragments into babies and children is only coming to light now. Every parent needs to understand that the longterm risk was not considered or evaluated when the vaccines were developed. I’ve summarized some recent medical findings here.
The CDC has clearly stated that good hygiene and sanitation are effective in avoiding Hepatitis A. I’ll stick to those.
