One Too Many

There is something I have to get off my chest, and I thought this would be the perfect forum. Here we go....

Let's say that a toy manufacturer invents a toy and consequently distributes it through a major toy store all over the country. Let's say that the same manufacturer did not do a thorough testing evaluation to determine the safety of the toy before releasing it to the public. Once the toy hit the shelves it's a hit and so parents rush to the stores to buy this toy. Unfortunately, a few months later a parent gives the toy to their toddler who ends up dying of mercury poisoning because he put it in his mouth and the paint has mercury in it. The toy company has two options at this point. They could either pull the toys off the shelves and announce a recall, OR they could redesign the toys with a non-mercury based paint. If the company takes the toys off the shelves they still haven't lost anything. They sold thousands and only had one fatality that more than likely is settled out of court. If they decide to redesign the toy then it could take a little longer, they would have to admit there was something wrong with their product, and they could lose millions in the long-run. Hmmmm? What are they to do?

Vaccine manufacturers are in the same boat. The biggest difference is that their products are mandated and they are protected by the government against getting sued...thus the Vaccine Compensation Fund (VICP)and VAERS. Parents have no choice. They don't have to change their product or pull it off the shelf because frankly there is no need for it. Why should they? They make millions of dollars on the vaccines and the doctors push for it. They could add another dozen vaccines to the schedule and most parents would probably not give it another thought. Since it's for their child's well-being... why would they? Right?

Of course, I am being very sarcastic right now. If one child dies because of vaccines... in my opinion, that's one too many. I have met doctors who don't vaccinate their children. I have heard of doctors who delay vaccines but don't give a valid excuse of why they do it. They claim that it's better to wait until they are two months old, but don't believe that vaccines are dangerous. That's definitely conflicting opinions. What is it that they know that they don't want to tell us? Well...that's what this post is about. I am about to enlighten a few of you.

Myth #1: They have removed thimerosal from all childhood mandated vaccines.
Truth: The truth is that they have not TOTALLY removed it from all the vaccines and the flu vaccine still has it. I didn't believe it until I checked it out at the CDC official website. (I don't look at any of "quack" websites anymore.) There are traces of mercury still in many of the vaccines. They need to consider the cummulative amounts. In other words, they need to add up ALL of the mercury in ALL of the shots they give babies. It would NOT be "trace" amounts if you added it up.

Myth #2: All doctors believe that vaccines are safe and that the current schedule is the best one.Truth: My pediatric neurologist did not vaccinate his children and he knew of many doctors who believed that the toxins in vaccines interfered with normal brain development and immunity. Also, I know first-hand of doctors who do NOT follow the recommended CDC schedule of vaccination. They either wait until the baby is two months old OR they space out the vaccines a little farther apart.

Myth #3: The vaccine manufacturers have done extensive research to make sure that vaccines are safe. Truth: Hehehehehe.....LOL....ROFLOL....Okay...Seriously, do you think they pay a lot of money to independent researching companies? Nope! The NIH, FDA, CDC, and AHRQ are among the researching agencies... all government agencies. I don't believe in a "conspiracy theory". However, when the agencies that do the research have to rely on grants and private funds you know that there is room for corruption. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is definitely a need for change there. If you don't believe me, then look at how long it takes for drugs to be recalled. I am sure you have noticed all the lawsuit commercials for different drugs. It all falls within the same FDA and CDC people.

Myth #4: They wouldn't recommend the vaccine even if they knew there were some potential adverse affects. Truth: WRONG.... so WRONG.... check this out: www.menactra.com
Under Safety Information it reads: "Side effects to Menactra vaccine include injection site pain, redness, and swelling; headache or fatigue. Other side effects may occur. Vaccination should be avoided by persons with known hypersensitivity (severe allergic reaction) to any ingredient of the vaccine, including latex (which is used in the vial stopper), or by any persons previously diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. There is a potential for an increased chance of getting Guillain-Barré syndrome following vaccination. Vaccination with Menactra vaccine may not protect all individuals. "
This is just ONE of the MANY examples I can give you. For those of you who don't know what Guillain-Barre Syndrome is, let me explain. The Mayo Clinic defines it this way: "Guillain-Barre syndrome is an uncommon inflammatory disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves, typically causing severe weakness and numbness that usually starts in your extremities and quickly worsens. Eventually your whole body can become paralyzed, even the muscles used for breathing...Luckily, this potentially deadly disorder is relatively rare, occurring worldwide in only one or two people per 100,000....There is no cure for the disorder."
So...you are basically taking the chance of giving your child this "uncommon inflammatory disorder" and horrific disease and "it may not protect all individuals". I guarantee that your doctor will tell you that it's worth the risk. However, not all parents will question this vaccine that can be given to children from age 2 to adults 55... CDC recommends this vaccine for children 11-18 years of age.

I think that if I were the parent of that one child who either died or contracted a horrible disease because of the shot, I would be totally devastated. It's not a matter of allergy or side-effects. I totally understand that there is going to be risks involved with anything like that. I am not that naive to think that medicine is 100% either. I know that. However, when the manufacturer and the CDC and the FDA all know that there is something like that going on and they still give the shots and mandate them until they can PROVE there is really nothing wrong then I think that is pure EVIL!!

Vaccines are just like medicine. It's all about profits. It takes something major to pull meds off the shelf. The same goes for the vaccines. They make so much money that they can afford to have some damages. That is why they continue to sell the products even though thousands of parents are screaming out, "My child has been injured! Please do something about it!" Only time will tell if they truly have the children's best interest at heart. I have a strong suspicion that once the minority becomes the majority then they won't be able to ignore it any longer. I pray it doesn't have to go so far.
