| Q. | Can mass vaccinations eliminate childhood disease? |
| A. |
All diseases declined by as much as 95% before the introduction of vaccines or antibiotics.
Improved personal and public hygiene can account for a considerable drop in deaths from disease.
Diseases will decline without intervention. TOP
|
| Q. | Would epidemics return if vaccination stopped? |
| A. |
It has never been shown with any vaccine that those vaccinated were completely protected against the disease during epidemics.
Both vaccinated and unvaccinated contract the disease.
Halting vaccination would probably yield little change. TOP
|
| Q. | Is the risk of complication from a childhood disease greater than the risk of vaccination? |
| A. |
When vaccinating, there is the chance of getting the disease PLUS the chance of vaccine damage.
It is an error to state with any certainty that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
The very diseases for which a person is vaccinated occur regularly in the same vaccinated population (often 50 - 80% of cases are in vaccinated individuals). TOP
|
| Q. | Which vaccines are safest? |
| A. |
Some may seem to produce fewer side effects, but no vaccine is guaranteed safe or effective.
Doctors do not guarantee that there will be no side effects nor do they guarantee prevention of that disease.
Manufacturers of vaccines extensively list possible adverse reactions and never make any guarantees.
All vaccines have been linked to serious and/or deadly side effects. TOP
|
| Q. | Are vaccines good preventive medicine? |
| A. |
Vaccinated individuals can contract the same disease they were vaccinated against, and vaccines carry risks of their own. TOP
|
| Q. | Are unvaccinated children threatening the health of vaccinated children? |
| A. |
If a vaccinated child is assumed "protected" from that disease, then an unvaccinated child cannot possibly pose a threat to him. TOP
|
| Q. | If my child did "OK" after one shot, then why should I worry? |
| A. |
The human body is biologically programmed to rid itself of foreign impurities of all kinds, including vaccines.
A healthy body will always react, to some degree, to the introduction of a vaccine into its bloodstream.
"No reaction" does not mean that the child's system is strong.
Some children who become damaged or who die after the second or subsequent shots did not noticeably react to the first shot. TOP
