What, not vaccinating?

Posted on by

Baby 2 moWhat is your “short” answer if someone asks why you don’t give your kids (or yourself) vaccines?

That is a great question I was recently asked on a Facebook Vaccine Discussion Group. I had so many thoughts, I couldn’t just give a short answer!  I decided I need to devote a whole blog to it!

QuestionsFirstly, it is generally accepted and understood that the person asking the questions holds the power in any conversation. Being aware of this, it would be a good idea to be pre-armed with a few questions of your own!

So, pick a short answer of your choice, then follow it up with a relevant question. Both the answer and the question should be tailored to your particular audience and the situation.

If you are asked in a one on one conversation it can be quite different from being asked in the midst of a large group. Some groups and audiences are antagonistic, so keep in mind the most appropriate way to respond might need some THINKING IN ADVANCE!

There are many assumptions made by those who are asking the question — some they make about you personally, and some they make about the whole vaccine debate. Since you probably aren’t fully aware of ALL the assumptions they are making, asking them questions will help you (and them) to clarify their thinking on the subject, allowing you to be more specific in further points you may want to bring up.

It is important in this discussion for you not to become defensive or irritated. This is also very difficult — especially when you have spent sooooo many hours of research and feel sooooo passionately! It helps me to try to visualize a 5-year-old learning a new subject. They can’t help that they are ignorant, they may have limited ability to master the subject because of a basic lack of maturity and experience, but with patience, kindness, and respect they might be able to make some progress!

It is also important to consider the level of the relationship you have with this person, their role and influence in your life, and the future role they may have in your child’s life. While we can show respect to these people, that does not mean we need to bend to their wishes — no matter what type of pressure they may try to put on us!

With many of these things in mind, here are some of my basic short answers:

  • I don’t accept vaccinations because I respect our natural immune system designed by my Creator more than any human efforts to bypass the immune system devised by individuals and companies for financial gain.
  • I don’t vaccinate because I believe the benefits of vaccines have been completely misrepresented and a close look at history shows vaccines did not have the positive impact many believe.
  • I don’t vaccinate because I feel the risks of any of the diseases for which they want to give me a toxic chemical cocktail injection, when treated naturally, are not nearly as much of a risk as the vaccine.
  • I don’t vaccinate because I believe the best gift I can give anyone that I come into contact with (including the immuno-compromised) is a robust naturally developed immune system — which also keeps me and my children healthy.
  • I don’t vaccinate because my research has helped me understand that vaccines have probably played a massive role in the exploding epidemics of auto-immune illness, arthritis, developmental delay, ASD, ADHD, ADD, juvenile diabetes, Crohn’s Disease, MS, cancer, ALS, etc. I’d rather fight the original illness than deal with a lifelong chronic debilitating illness.
  • I don’t vaccinate because I believe the entire foundation of the early virologists lacked an understanding of the complexity of the natural immune system which exists predominantly in the gut. The gut is critical to health and is designed to handle foreign invaders, but injections bypass this well-organized system. Quantum levels of  information has been discovered in the last 10 years about the gut and the immune system — far more than was known at the time vaccines were developed.
  • I don’t vaccinate because most cases of the disease are actually occurring among the vaccinated, so the vaccines aren’t even protecting those who get them from the illness they are hoping to avoid.
  • I don’t vaccinate because vaccines can interfere with bodily function far beyond the generally accepted medical explanation. Vaccine reactions are not always readily apparent, but injecting small babies with such toxic ingredients ALWAYS causes a negative impact on the body and it is not worth the risk for me.
  • I don’t vaccinate because I know of real life tragedies of parents who thought they were doing the BEST thing for their baby and their baby died within 2 days of receiving the 2 month recommended vaccines.
  • Johnny 1I don’t vaccinate because I know of FAR TOO MANY real life stories of families dealing EVERY SINGLE day with horrific vaccine injuries that cause debilitating brain damage (aka autism) to their child. It is not a risk I want to take.
  • If I am feeling particularly snarky, I would look at my beautiful precious baby and say, I don’t vaccinate, because why would I want to inject this precious beautiful treasure full of toxic chemicals? It’s just not common sense.

Some questions which should follow your short preferred statement:

  • What do you know about the ingredients in vaccines?
  • What is the impact on a baby’s body of all the combined injections at one time (no one knows the answer to this — except those parents who have carefully observed and documented it, because there have been no scientific studies on the combined recommended vaccines)?
  • Which disease worries you most, and why?
  • What do you know about chronic, debilitating auto-immune disorders?
  • What role does nutrition play in infectious diseases like measles? (Vitamin A pretty much mitigates measles deaths and measles deaths are greatly exaggerated.)
  • What do you think is the reason behind giving Hepatitis B to infants when it is generally accepted that only IV drug users and prostitutes are at risk for this illness?
  • What do you know about the payouts made for vaccine damage since the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was started in 1988?

What QuestionsNotice that most of the questions begin with what. Try to think of questions that require more of an answer than yes or no.

Again, allow them to THINK. That, in a nutshell, is really the purpose of your answer/question combination. Say something brief, thoughtful and respectful, then ask a probing question. Allow them to think. Don’t think that you will change their mind in one encounter. In most cases, they have been indoctrinated their whole life to believe that vaccines are good!

If your conversation is with a medical person, realize that the entire foundation of their life and livelihood is dependent on them maintaining their good opinion of vaccines. However, by your respectful question it COULD be a beginning to an awakening!

If you are new to the subject and feel absolutely convinced in your heart that vaccines are not good for you or your children, yet feel fearful of the opinion of others — especially of those in your life who are highly educated — don’t think you need to even try to convince them. Make your point respectfully, and if they keep badgering you, take the high road and respectfully say you hear what they say, but you are convinced and you would rather they stop trying to impose their thoughts or opinions on you. You are happy with your choice and if you want to continue the relationship, they need to respect your choice.

I also suggest a polite decline to all medical personnel rather than a detailed explanation of exactly what you have learned about vaccines. They are not likely to learn anything from you, and by engaging in a conversation with them, you are opening yourself up to the pressure they have been trained to put on you.

Rather keep it short, “No thanks, we won’t be getting shots today,” like a broken record, repeated every time they offer a vaccine or another reason you should accept one.

This is not a complete, exhaustive list, but I hope it gives you some confidence in communicating WHY you don’t vaccinate – AND I also hope you feel empowered to help someone else begin to explore this EXTREMELY VITAL topic.

I seriously believe this is the number one issue parents today face. If you want your child to be healthy for their entire life, educating and navigating the vaccine debate is the most important thing you can do. I want the truth to be told so that we can have more healthy children. We can do it together, one piece of information at a time.

I’d love to know your ideas of what to say, or other questions to ask. Please add your thoughts to the comments below!

A Mother’s Anguish

Posted on by

The following story was shared with me by Tommy’s mother, Suzanne Fuhri. I originally published this blog on 15 October 2014 and it has received nearly 5000 views here, and has also been shared widely on a variety of websites. Suzanne continues her healing journey and seeks to inform parents so they can avoid the tragedy she experienced. Becky Hastings 20 January 2016

Tommy FuhriMy story.

I want the world to know.

Please copy, share, paste, quote – whatever you can do to get the word out.

VACCINE INJURIES ARE REAL.

There is a REAL RISK. Your child is NOT immune to them. Vaccine Injury is impartial. It can strike those that least expect it – like me.

My name is Suzanne Fuhri. I have two daughters born in 1994 & 1995. My daughters received vaccines when they were babies, so I never thought I needed to research them when my son was born. I didn’t know the schedule was different. They give babies more shots now.

My son, Tommy, was born on September 28, 2012. On November 29, 2012 I took him for his 2 month well baby visit. Two days later he was gone.

I live with a broken heart daily and you can prevent it from happening to your family.

Daily I ask myself, how did I let them do this to my baby?

The doctor injected my baby with all those shots, and I trusted him.  I trusted that the vaccines they were giving my baby were safe. The doctor and everyone in his office knew my son died – they never took the time to phone or even send a sympathy card. They knew he died. They didn’t care. Guess they figured they would no longer get any money from me because MY SON would not be back for any further appointments and POISON VACCINES.

They are missing my money, but I AM MISSING MY SON!

I broke my own heart by not doing the research. There was information everywhere for me to have and learn.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

I thought I was doing the BEST thing for my baby, my Tommy.

I lost him after the first round of vaccines.

My arms are empty, achingly empty.

PLEASE PARENTS. Allow MY PAIN to help you make a wise decision. I was IGNORANT. I thought “My child will be fine.” I was wrong.

Tommy Fuhri obituaryYou can never take a vaccination back.

Such a small helpless body pumped with those toxic ingredients AND SO MANY SHOTS AT ONE TIME.

I CAN NEVER GO BACK AFTER WHAT WAS DONE. My Tommy. Gone.

I thought I had a trustworthy, caring, kind doctor. I thought the vaccines were safe.

The doctors are GETTING PAID. They give lethal injections, the injections cause severe damage to some babies; they know there is a risk, but every vaccine brings income $$$.

Even one vaccine can be too much.

I had to lose my son before I learned all the truth. Vaccines are dangerous. Why didn’t I trust God. He gave us an immune system to fight off infection and disease.

Please don’t take the chance. It’s not worth it. There are things you can do to stay healthy. Vaccines are TOO DANGEROUS. Simple things you can do:

  • Keep sick people away from your household.
  • Respect yourself and your family
  • Keep the garbage out of your life.

I can’t bring my baby back, but I can use my pain and warn other parents. I urge you – do the research I failed to do. 

My SON
I didn’t get the chance to know you,

it was suddenly taken from me,

I wasn’t able to hear you respond,

as I called out to you, Tommy.

The day you went away,

it broke me in a million pieces,

I’ve been steadily trying to fix myself,

but the pain, still sometimes, increases

I thought my heart got broke before,

but that was never true,

I always felt better,

but it’s not the same with you.

Some days I seem fine,

but others are hard to take.

That day you went away,

I actually felt my heart break.

That day I took you to the doctor,

I should’ve never done,

If I hadn’t,

today I’d still have My Son!

NO ADVICE Please

Posted on by

Lecture in grassMost young people I know (I’ve raised 5 and worked with a lot) HATE lectures.

They don’t want advice.

In our world, we often find there are many people who want to bombard us with advice! Young people at the peak and prime of life are sometimes susceptible prey to older people who think they have all the answers and freely give recommendations. Sometimes it’s because they think they have done so well and they want to help younger people succeed in life. Or it might be that they’ve messed up so bad they want to help them avoid mistakes.

Both of those motives are noble. There are other less noble motives that we often fail to consider. One, is that sometimes the choices you and I make will directly influence the amount of money someone is going to make.

Marketers specialize in knowing their market and appealing to what their target is looking for. I have kids in a variety of ages and stages from adult to teens, and I’ve seen the power of marketing on my kids as well as on myself.

So, if you are young, healthy and fertile and one day might reproduce, here are some important questions. You might not need them now, but if you are pregnant or hoping to be THESE QUESTIONS MIGHT BE THE MOST ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER!

What medical procedures are essential when I am pregnant?

What medical procedures are necessary for a brand new baby?

Is every medical procedure that will be recommended for me or my baby ALWAYS a good idea?

Do either of us have any of the soft signs of immune dysfunction or compromise that might suggest more serious look at the routine vaccination schedule (red cheeks, skin issues, chronic constipation, auto immune disorders, etc.)?

Thinking about these questions is a good start. There are many more you might like to explore in my previous post, called Essential Questions, below.

Essential Questions

Posted on by

Pregnant 3 croppedfor expectant parents to ask

(or young healthy potentially fertile people)

You’re smart.

I’m not telling you what to do.

You’ll figure it out.

With all the excitement in preparing for a new baby, there are also some CRITICAL QUESTIONS every pregnant couple will be very glad they took some time to explore:

What is the blood-brain-barrier and when is it fully developed? (This is a big topic and there is some disagreement on the details.)

How does an infant develop the ability to mount an immune response?[1]

What is the mucosal immune system and what is the difference between the infant’s immune response to viruses and bacteria encountered through the mucosal immune system versus these same organisms when they are injected?

When will the umbilical cord be clamped and cut? [EXTREMELY Important! If you ask no other questions, please research this one.][1]

What do I know about the shots they will suggest for my newborn and why?

  • Vitamin K (What is the difference between the Vitamin K injection and oral Vitamin K drops? Are either necessary in every case?)
  • Hep B

What is the ointment they want to put in my baby’s eyes – and why?

What do I know about the shots they want to give my very young baby (in USA recommended at 2 months):

  • DTaP
  • Hep B
  • HIB
  • PCV13
  • RV (oral)

What shots was I given as a baby/child? What is the difference between the shots they are giving to babies today?

What reasons might there be for delaying or not giving some of the shots?

What research has been done to determine if there is a link between the current vaccine schedule and long term chronic health challenges?

How can I help my child avoid auto-immune disorders like asthma, food allergies, diabetes, autism, learning disabilities, childhood cancers?

Have the vaccines recommended been tested for carcinogenic properties, i.e. have they been tested to see if they cause an increase in childhood cancer?

Have the vaccines recommended been tested for future impact on my child’s reproductive ability?

If I am told I need the RhoGam injection in pregnancy or afterwards, because I have Rh negative factor, what does that mean?

I salute you for reading this far.

Don’t just go along.

Get answers from someone other than the person with the needle.

Healthy Toddlers DON’T JUST DEVELOP AUTISM

Posted on by

One mom. One boy. On March 23, 2007 their lives changed forever.

Jennifer had a beautiful baby boy, Josiah. He was 16 months old and was doing really well. He was delightfully learning language and curious about the world around him. He loved his mom and had a great connection with her. He loved learning and every day was a new adventure with the two of them sharing a beautiful bond.

Boy in hatI love the 2nd year of life. It is truly a wonderful time to be around a child.

All the magical moments in Jennifer and Josiah’s life came to a screeching halt on one eventful day.

Jennifer had carefully chosen a pediatrician to provide health care for her precious son. She was so committed to Josiah’s health and the doctor’s wisdom, that she drove one hour for every appointment she had with him. Of course she took him for ALL the well baby visits – because that is what loving parents do. She trusted her doctor. He had training. He knew what babies needed to be healthy.

When Josiah was 16 ½ months old Jennifer made the one hour drive to her doctor’s appointment. She reflected on how it seemed slightly unnecessary to visit a doctor since her son was so healthy, and the fact that while it hadn’t seemed like a long drive when her son was smaller, it was quite an inconvenience out of her schedule to make this appointment.

The doctor did all the usual measurements and announced that Josiah was doing exactly right for his age and stage. Then he suggested that since it was such a long drive, instead of separating the 15 month recommended shots from the 18 month recommended shots, they could just give them all on the same day.

Jennifer completely trusted that her doctor knew what he was doing and THAT HE WAS DOING HER A FAVOR. Instead of making her come back for another appointment in a couple of months, he was willing to go ahead and give Josiah ALL THE SHOTS.

Josiah received 9 different shots that day, including the MMR and the DTap.

After getting these ‘protective’ injections at the pediatrician’s office for his ‘well baby visit’, Josiah started screaming, crying, arching his back, with his eyes rolling back in his head. He continued screaming for five hours when he finally fell into an exhausted sleep. This was an indication of the extreme serious vaccine reaction Josiah experienced. The combined toxic load was more than his body and brain could bear.

Jennifer noted with increasing horror the many results of that fateful day on March 23, 2007.

Josiah lost the desire and ability to make eye contact. He completely stopped talking. Whereas once he had been saying 20 – 30 words and stringing together 3 word sentences, except for the screams or moans of pain, he cannot communicate.

Josiah’s behavior changed dramatically after receiving the shots . He began spinning in circles, flapping his hands, mouthing his toys non-stop and afraid of the water in his bath – that he once loved.

Josiah is now 8 years old. He is still wearing diapers, is non-verbal and does not make eye-contact. His life has been forever changed because his mom trusted the pediatrician. She thought he was doing her a favor.

Jennifer’s message to parents is a very simple one: “Please research the shots you allow your doctor to give your children. Oh how I WISH I HAD. Vaccine injuries are not rare. My son has never been the same.”

Navigating the Information

Posted on by

Baby funnyAs a parent I want to do my best, but I am faced with a variety of passionate voices trying to guide me in the medical decisions I need to make to protect the health of my babies and children. This is especially confusing to navigate as a first time parent when there are all sorts of people trying to give me advice.

Some of the voices we encounter while trying to get more information on vaccines and other medical decisions for our precious babies are sooooo passionate and sooooo strong that we can feel completely overwhelmed and sometimes repulsed! With such great energy, sometimes the very thing these passionate people are trying to tell us, becomes repulsive to us.

There can be family members, doctors, nurses, and friends absolutely confident that I should give my baby every shot offered, and if I don’t, my baby might be at a huge risk for a life threatening disease. I often feel terrified after speaking to some of these people.

Then there are others who are strongly urging me not to give any vaccines and some of them go into great detail explaining how vaccines have damaged their child. Others try to persuade me because they claim their baby died as a result of one or more vaccines and can be extremely passionate in telling me I MUST PROTECT MY BABY.

What am I, as a parent, without medical training, supposed to do? How can I do the research to help me make this critical decision?

AngerThere are compelling voices arguing both sides and I feel torn. I can’t sleep because the opposing voices are going around and around in my head and I can’t figure out which is my safest option. If I vaccinate and my child is injured, I will be devastated. If I don’t vaccinate and my child catches one of the ‘preventable’ illnesses I will be devastated AND all the people who told me not to do one or the other is bound to jump all over me. It seems I can’t make a decision based on facts. Why can’t someone just reassure me of WHAT REALLY IS THE BEST THING FOR MY BABY?

Many wise parents have begun this journey and have insight and help to guide us. I have gleaned a lot from experienced, thinking parents and professionals.

Firstly, don’t think the decision can be made quickly, allow yourself some time to do some reading, and if you are a praying person, you might want to ask for guidance.

Secondly, look at each disease separately and look at the current risk of catching the disease in the area where you live versus the risks associated with the vaccine. You also want to find out about treatment options if your child were to catch a particular disease.

For instance, if your child were to get measles and you knew in advance about the benefits of a quickly administered Vitamin A supplement, your baby’s illness will be considerably less severe. Or you might have heard about pertussis, but by investigating the very effective Vitamin C protocol which reduces the severity and duration of a pertussis infection, you will have the information you need to truly compare the risks. This is the essence of informed consent – knowing the true risks of all procedures and the true benefits.

You need to weigh the potential of harm with the disease and treatment with the potential for harm from the vaccine, i.e. risks vs benefits.

In order to determine the risk of the vaccine you will need to find the name of the vaccine and read the manufacturer’s information on the vaccine. The CDC provides “information sheets” free of charge which are usually given to parents by their doctors. These are only a brief summary and do not give you all the information you need to evaluate the safety. What you really need to be fully informed, are the vaccine inserts provided by the manufacturer of the vaccine which includes a lot more VERY RELEVANT information.

What you particularly want to know is what are the ingredients in the vaccine? What are the side effects of each ingredient? What are the contra-indications for this vaccines (i.e. who should NOT be given this shot)? What are the known side effects of the vaccine?

Dr Meyer Eisenstein has written an excellent up to date book examining all the vaccines, the illnesses and the debate around the vaccine issue. I would highly recommend Don’t Vaccinate! Before You Educate. Dr Robert Sears has written The Vaccine Book which can also help you through this process.

Start your research with the first vaccines suggested for babies and the illnesses that you feel most concerned about and work through them all.

The current recommended shots for newborns in the USA are:

  1. Vitamin K
  2. Hepatitis B (1st of 3 doses).

At 2 months it is recommended that babies be vaccinated with:

  1. Hep B (2nd of 3 doses)
  2. Rotavirus (RV, 1st of 3 oral doses)
  3. Diptheria, Tetanus, & acellular Pertussis (DTaP, 3 different antigens, 1st of 4 doses)
  4. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib, 1st of 3 or 4 doses)
  5. Pneumococcal conjugate (PVC13, 13 different antigens, 1st of 4 doses)
  6. Inactivated poliovirus (IPV, 1st of 3 doses)

That is a total of 6 vaccines (5 needles) with 20 different antigens.

At 4 months it is recommended that your baby gets a repeat of all of the above, except Hep B for a total of 5 vaccines (4 needles) with 19 different antigens.

At 6 months there is a little flexibility, but your baby could get a repeat of all the vaccines given at 2 months. A total of 6 vaccines (5 needles) with 20 different antigens.

So, to re-cap, between 0 and 6 months a cumulative total of 16 needles with 60 antigens is delivered to most babies. Most parents are not aware of how many shots nor what they contain. Many doctors are not even familiar with the ingredients in the vaccines and the possible ill effects to be aware of, yet they confidently assert that they are all safe. The combination of all these shots has never been tested.

At 12 or 15 months your baby could be given:

  1. Hep B (3rd dose)
  2. DTaP (3 antigens, 4th dose)
  3. Hib (4th dose)
  4. PVC13 (13 antigens, 4th dose)
  5. Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR, 3 antigens, 1st of 2 doses)
  6. Varicella for Chicken Pox (VAR, 1st of 2 doses)
  7. Hepatitis A (HepA, 1st of 2 doses)

A total of 7 vaccines (7 needles) with 23 different antigens. Combined with our running total, that equals 23 needles with 83 antigens against 12 different infections.

Some doctors may recommend a 12 month visit and a 15 month visit to space out the large number of shots. Some doctors want you to come for a 15 month and an 18 month visit. Some doctors, wanting to spare you the inconvenience, offer to give all the shots at one visit.

Between 4 to 6 years children are recommended to get repeat boosters for

  1. DTaP (5th dose)
  2. Polio (4th dose)
  3. MMR (2nd dose)
  4. Varicella (2nd dose)

A total of 4 vaccines (4 needles) with 8 different antigens.

In addition to all these shots, children are also recommended to get an annual flu shot from the age of 6 months. Each flu shot contains approximately 3 antigens, and may also contain significant amounts of mercury in the form of thimerosal.

In total, by the time your child goes to school they will have received 32 vaccines (32 needles) with over 100 different antigens. These injections bombard the immature immune system which is expected to recognize and mount a specific defense against each one. (To download the chart of CDC complete recommended vaccination schedule).

Some questions you might want to ask your doctor or any older people who are advising you to give your baby all the shots on the schedule on time;

  1. Why have there been so many vaccinations added since I was a child?
  2. What were the results of studies looking at the combined impact of all of these vaccines injected at the same visit? (to date there have been no studies on the combined cumulative impact of all these vaccines).
  3. If my baby has a serious reaction, who is responsible? How will I get medical care if it is needed?
  4. What signs should I be aware of after a vaccine that might suggest a bad reaction?
  5. How have doctors been trained to recognize vaccine reactions?

One reason this information is overwhelming is because most of us got shots when we were kids. We think the shots they want to give our babies is pretty much the same as what we had. We are not familiar with the current recommended schedule. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the schedule, with each disease, the risks of having the disease, versus the risk of the vaccine.

An additional factor to consider is that there have been no studies on the carcinogenic impact of most vaccines – i.e. is there a likelihood that this vaccine, or this combination of vaccines could increase childhood cancer rates? It has not been studied.

Additionally, vaccines have not been studied to determine if they will impact the future fertility of your child.

Hopefully this short summary has been helpful for you as you seek to navigate the maze of information to you on the BEST way to keep your baby safe and healthy.

I know new parents need lots of sleep. They don’t need to be losing sleep because of fear about vaccinations. As you gain information on this subject, you will be able to make a confident decision so you can sleep peacefully at night!

Please post any questions below or I can suggest some very nice, helpful, and informed advisors who would love to spend time with you and answer your questions. Becky

How Many More Must Die?

DespairI’m not a historian, but I do like history. There is so much we can gain by increasing our understanding of history. A lot of history that we are exposed to has strong bias to one side of the story or another, so I always enjoy trying to explore various sides of history – especially in conflicts, of which there are many.

History is replete with examples of small groups of people holding power and authority over a larger group. This pattern has been repeated so often, one would think we could recognize it if it were happening to us.

Most of the history I’ve been taught is with an underlying assumption that “we are so smart now, that we would never be as stupid as all the people who did all these crazy things way back when.”

I’m not sure if anyone else ever had that impression or if it was unique to me. History is always taught from the point of view of superiority and a greater sense of sophistication which would prohibit the current generation – because it is so ‘advanced’ – from making any of the mistakes that are SO OBVIOUS in history.

Examples abound of a small group of people controlling and manipulating the larger group. During the Dark Ages, or Middle Ages, the Church and its priests held onto authority and did not allow questioning. The masses were not educated, could not read and were not permitted to have access to Bibles or knowledge, except what the priest wanted them to know. The church promoted their own authority and the authority of their traditions.

We are all familiar with feudal rule where a few privileged people held the power over all the rest. The story of Robin Hood captivated us because he was a man who dared to defy the authority and help those who were being abused and mistreated.The history of the world-wide slave trade is all about a small group of people yielding power over others for their personal benefit.

Even as close as WWII we see examples of a group of powerful people oppressing and abusing minority groups – with the full cooperation of most of the general public.

Has anything REALLY CHANGED? Is our society different today? Is it free for EVERYONE?

At this point in time we continue to see a very small percentage of the people able to yield considerable authority over most of the people and get them to do whatever they want.

Today the CDC makes sweeping health recommendations that impact every citizen of the USA and extend to most countries in the world. We have empowered this small ‘elite’ group of people, with some ‘outside advisors’ to pretty much dictate the health practices of our entire population. The average person is not encouraged to read the details of the debates on health, but rather to just to follow the CDC recommendations. The CDC doesn’t think the masses are able to understand the details in the vaccine inserts produced by the manufacturers, so they provide a dumbed down version called ‘information sheets’ FREE OF CHARGE – to be given to parents through doctors or clinics who provide the ‘RECOMMENDED shots.’

There is deliberate misuse of terms on many of the CDC publications with the word ‘immunization’ instead of vaccination. The CDC knows that not all vaccines result in effectively conferring immunity, but they want to be sure the public doesn’t become aware of the finer details, because the public, after all, can’t really understand the science anyway.

I am encouraged that there is a very strong and ever growing number of people who are realizing that the science behind vaccination is not as strong as the CDC, their doctors, and the vaccine manufacturers might want us to think. Among these are a great number of doctors themselves who have either watched the negative impact vaccines were having on their patients, or in many cases, ON THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

The CDC has always maintained that the percentage of children injured from a vaccine was extremely small. The CDC HAVE ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGED AND ACCEPTED THAT THERE WILL BE SOME LEVEL OF INJURY. They don’t really care if the injury happens to your child, my child, or your doctor’s child. In the mind of those writing public policy it is a fair trade off – we lose a few here and there for the benefit of the larger number of people.

Now this may be a fine and good way to think – until it comes to be YOUR CHILD. I personally don’t think it is fine and good to RISK ANYONE’s CHILD. And I sure wouldn’t ask you to risk your child for my benefit. Yet, that is exactly what the CDC has been doing for well over 40 years.

Can't seeNow there is a further problem which they are not quite so ready to acknowledge. They think that MOST CHILDREN are safer with the vaccine than without it. That is a foundational assumption that they DARE NOT CHALLENGE. You see, if they think MOST are safer, then they also think the benefit to MOST is worth the PAIN, SUFFERING, and even DEATH, for just a few.

Child 2What doctors and parents of non-vaccinated children have witnessed firsthand for YEARS is that actually, this foundational argument is not SOUND. It is not based on SCIENCE. In fact, non-vaccinated children ARE MUCH HEALTHIER and much safer than VACCINATED children. Non-vaccinated children have less visits to doctors, less ear infections, less antibiotic use, less seizures, less diabetes, less obesity, less auto-immune disorders, less chronic illness, less SIDS and LESS NEGATIVE OUTCOMES ALL around.

Now the CDC will tell you that this is simply anecdotal evidence – YET they seem to be SO AFRIAD of confirming this conclusion, that THEY REFUSE TO ACTUALLY DO A STUDY COMPARING VACCINATED VERSUS UNVACCINATED children. There have been some studies: one in Holland looking at populations of non-vaccinated children; and looking at predominately unvaccinated groups of people like the Amish and Dr Meyer Eisenstein’s extremely large (10,000+) medical practice with no vaccination and no autism. All indications from these brief looks are that the non-vaccinated have outstanding health when compared to vaccinated children. Ask any mother or grandmother of both vaccinated and unvaccinated children – the differences are night and day obvious.

Admittedly there may be more factors involved in the degeneration of health of children today, particularly because of the toxins they are exposed to in food and our environment. HOWEVER, that is no reason not to conduct the study and to RE-LOOK the science behind vaccination.

Once upon a time doctors and the CDC said smoking was NOT BAD. Perhaps they should fire all government scientists who are afraid of learning the true result and get a team of unbiased TRUE SCIENTISTS who don’t have any connections with industry to take an unbiased look – for the health and welfare of our children. They need to put the health and welfare of ALL CHILDREN above their own career aspirations, their reputations, their funding, and anything else that is preventing them from seeking TRUTH.

In the middle ages the priests held the power and wanted to manipulate the masses for their own purposes. Today we have an elite who want to maintain their power, prestige, and position. They have too much vested interest to want to know the truth.

Furthermore, there is INTENSE PRESSURE from the pharmaceutical industry to maintain and EVEN INCREASE vaccination rates and numbers. The pharmaceutical companies enjoy 100% LIABILITY FREE PROFIT from their vaccines! They can make vast amounts of money but never have to pay a dime if their products injure or kill your child – they are legally blameless.

Why would they want to change anything?

How many MORE children are going to have to suffer sever injury, life-long brain damage or death before we hold these people accountable?

Will you entrust your child to their care – when they know your child just might be one of the ones injured?

Thanksgiving 2015Author: Becky Hastings. I am just a mom and a grandmother who loves to see healthy happy babies. It breaks my heart to see vaccine injured children. There are GROWING NUMBERS all around us. It is the biggest shame and greatest cause of sorrow.

Where are the WARNINGS?

Posted on by

needleEvery person in the USA is completely acclimatized to hearing and seeing marketing of all sorts of drugs on TV directly targeting consumers – AND very frequently! It has become so commonplace that most teens and twenty somethings think it is just the way life is. It probably doesn’t occur to most of those exposed to this continuous outpouring of pharmaceutical marketing (known as DTC – direct to consumer), that there is ONLY ONE OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE THIS IS LEGAL.

That being said, what about all those dire warnings? How can people hear them and still want the drugs? Don’t they take the warnings seriously?

Maybe hearing the warnings over and over again desensitizes people to the seriousness of the warnings?

Imagine if there were advertisements for vaccines which included ALL the warnings at the end? It might read something like this, (with information based on the vaccine inserts supplied by manufacturer of the DtaP vaccine), this is the disclaimer:

This product is not suitable for anyone who:

  • has had a prior adverse reaction to the DTaP vaccine, or other similar vaccines;
  • has had an encephalopathy within 7 days of a previously administered similar vaccine;
  • has a progressive neurologic disorder.

Additionally, the aluminum adjuvant in the vaccine, used to stimulate the immune system, may

  • leave a hard lump at the injection site, which may be hot to the touch – this will typically dissipate in a few days, but
  • has been known to affect muscle pain and chronic fatigue, and, though rare,
  • may trigger development of autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis (Multiple Sclerosis i.e. MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease);

Consult with your doctor at the first sign of any such reaction.

  • The vaccine recipient may also experience an involuntary, extended, bone-chilling cry for several hours sometime within the twenty-four hours following injection, often repeated over the following few days, which indicates brain inflammation, and may be followed by a lengthy period of regression – consult with your doctor.
  • The DTaP may cause a bulging fontanelle in infants – this typically subsides after a few days, but may indicate brain damage; be alert for unusual behaviors, and call your doctor should you detect any.
  • In infants, there are reports of associated SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) with the vaccine; do not place your infant face down until sixty days following the last of the three scheduled DTaP shots.
  • And, you may experience any combination of the following reported reactions, some of which may require hospitalization:
  • Hey!abdominal pain;
  • anaphylactic shock;
  • apnea;
  • autism;
  • bacterial/viral infections;
  • convulsions;
  • disintegrative disorder;
  • coma;
  • abnormal EEG;
  • blood disorders;
  • diabetes;
  • eye movement disorder;
  • fever > 105 degree F;
  • hearing loss;
  • trouble walking;
  • narcolepsy;
  • pain, swelling and redness at injection site;
  • paralysis;
  • pneumonia;
  • impairment of psychomotor skills;
  • screaming; and
  • speech disorders.

This vaccine has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility, and there are currently 8150 reported associated deaths. It has not been tested or approved for use in pregnant women.

Additionally, each 0.5-mL does of this vaccine is known to contain

  • aluminum hydroxide as adjuvant (not more than 0.625 mg
  • aluminum by assay) and 4.5 mg of sodium chloride.
  • Each dose also contains ≤100 mcg of residual formaldehyde and
  • ≤100 mcg of polysorbate 80 (Tween 80).

The above disclaimer is based on the information provided in the manufacturers’ own inserts.

It really is important to be FULLY AWARE of EVERYTHING in a vaccine given to your child and of EVERY contraindication (i.e. reasons for which the vaccine manufacturers recommend NOT giving the vaccine). We all expect our doctors or nurses to know this information, but it is simply TOO much information and the responsibility for any possible vaccine injury will be completely ours.

You can find all the vaccine inserts for every single shot you are thinking about giving to your baby, your child or yourself. Please inform yourself of what are the possible outcomes.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not very comfortable absorbing eating or injecting aluminum hydroxide, sodium chloride, formaldehyde and polysorbate 80 – even in minute quantities. It just can’t be good.

Our #1 role is to protect our children. In order to do that, we need to be fully informed.

We need to know the warnings.

What about School?

School readingAs new parents begin to explore the non vaccinating route to protect the health of their child,

[Which might also be called

  • Keeping my child’s immune system intact;
  • Utilizing Common Sense and not giving 26 vaccines with 84 different antigens plus lots of yuk toxic ingredients by the time my child is two;
  • Immune purity;
  • Seeking health;
  • Respecting my Creative Designer;]

Eventually they hit up against the questions:

  • What about school?
  • Don’t schools require vaccines?

No shots not trueContrary to what you may have been told, thousands of unvaccinated children attend school. Vaccines are not essential for school attendance.

Most parents have found that a religious exemption is the most effective method of exemption for most states.

Dr Meyer Eisenstein explains what you need to do in this video, How to Get Back-to-School Vaccine Waivers. He’s EXTREMELY well-informed because he has a MD, a PhD in public health AND a LAW degree! He has a huge practice full of unvaccinated children (he used to do home births – so he’s got to be an awesome doctor!) and virtually no autism. EVERY COMMUNITY needs a doctor just like him!

The National Vaccine Information Center – Your Health. Your Family. Your Choice.
NVIC has a wealth of resources because they have been helping parents navigate this decision for over 30 years.

I usually tell parents that ALL schools will ASK for proof of vaccination. Most colleges also want proof. What you need to do is prepare an affidavit of your religious exemption and give it to them with the application forms, or any administrative forms they require. The person who receives the forms has a process to go through and they need to check off all the boxes – so as long as you give them an exemption, they can check off the proof of vaccination box. There is no need to get unduly worked up or to be unpleasant. Sometimes we spend too much time worrying about unnecessary things!

There are many deceptions associated with the topic of vaccinations, this is the truth:

No shots no school not true.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAParents have been opposing vaccines since they were first implemented over 200 years ago. Today we have more reasons than ever to be concerned about vaccine injury and the longterm health outcomes from giving so many vaccines to our children – more than at any point in history and more than any country in the world. We need to exercise our freedom of choice so we can keep our children healthy.

Can babies die from a vaccine?

Posted on by

Doctor 2Many doctors and nurses will confidently assert that vaccines are safe, necessary and, in fact, BENEFICIAL to protect your baby. They may go on to describe the serious, if not deadly, result of NOT giving these shots to your precious tiny baby.

Grandparents figure they gave their baby shots, so shots are fine. What some parents and well-meaning advice givers fail to realize is that a baby today gets WAY MORE VACCINATIONS than any other generation in history. AND there has never been any scientific study to find out what the COMBINED impact of these multiple assaults on a tiny immune system might be.

Babies are the guinea pigs and parents are learning the hard way.

By the time your baby is 2, if on the recommended schedule, he will receive and unbelievable number of injections. At last count, from the CDC recommended schedule (which they mistakenly label as an immunization schedule – when it should be called vaccination schedule because VACCINATION DOES NOT EQUAL IMMUNIZATION).

Poster BabyBy 24 months a baby ‘on schedule’ will receive 23 shots containing 81 different antigens for different diseases plus 3 oral doses of vaccines. PLUS many other ingredients added for a variety of reasons, including foreign proteins, preservatives, adjuvants (added to provoke a response by the body), etc. I’ve attached a 5 page table listing all the excipients and media commonly used in vaccines.

So, might it be possible that one or many of these vaccines given in combination MIGHT cause such a significant reaction in a baby that they might die?

In fact, some of the vaccine inserts include SIDS as one of the adverse events noted in the trials for these shots. THEY KNOW! Guess what else is listed as an adverse event? Anaphylactic reaction AND autism.

It is clearly listed on the Tripedia vaccine produced by Sanofi Pasteur. Just check it out. Tripedia

If the nurses and doctors recommending (or pushing) the shots don’t know this, what else don’t they know? Maybe you need to keep asking hard questions and PLEASE don’t give any shot to your baby until your investigate it thoroughly. I’ve been told that asking your nurse or doctor isn’t research. At a minimum please read every vaccine insert from the manufacturer (not the info sheet your doctor wants to give you) and look up every ingredient for the side effects.

You are your baby’s protector. You will bear 100% of the burden if your baby has a serious reaction to a vaccine.
