Vaccination: Be informed! 18 Reasons to “Just Say No!” | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34383132 Belgium 02/18/2013 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Vaccinating Newborns Is No Longer Enough – CDC Wants to Vaccinate Your Unborn Child Also Now they want to vaccinate pregnant women with potentially dangerous vaccines. Where will this lunacy end? The old DTP vaccine caused brain damage in infants. The new DTaP vaccine has uncertain risks—and also may not work. The government solution is to start vaccinating even before birth. This is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new recommended vaccine schedule—which includes notable changes. The CDC is recommending that pregnant women receive the DTaP vaccine during the later stages of their pregnancy, to protect the mother from diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough), and then pass that immunity on to the fetus through the placenta. The justification is that most babies become ill or die from these diseases before they are old enough to be vaccinated, so this will give them immunity before they’re even born. The problem is that one of the elements of the vaccine, for whooping cough (pertussis), can be very dangerous. The whole-cell pertussis vaccine was created in 1912 and contains B. pertussis bacteria. Its toxins (both exotoxins and endotoxins) are some of most lethal in nature, causing tremendous inflammation throughout the body. When a vaccine of this sort is created, the bacteria’s exotoxins are inactivated or suppressed in the lab while other properties, typically immunogenicity, are maintained so that the body will create antibodies. With the pertussis vaccine, its exotoxins can cross the blood–brain barrier under certain conditions, which can trigger brain inflammation (encephalitis) and cause permanent brain damage. This is the version that was in the old DTwP vaccine (the w stands for whole-cell pertussis). About twenty years ago the pertussis vaccine was reformulated into a less reactive version with fewer side effects called the DTaP vaccine; the a stands for acellular. The DTaP vaccine still contains the pertussis toxin, albeit at a lower dose and in a purer form, so the danger of brain inflammation still exists. B. pertussis also produces endotoxins, and the immune system’s reaction is similarly inflammatory, releasing so much histamine that it can sometimes cause high fever, swelling, diarrhea, collapse, shock, and death. The newer DTaP vaccine also contains these endotoxins. Then there are the preservatives such as aluminum. Are we really crazy enough to want to expose unborns to this? DTaP recommendations have also been expanded to include routine vaccination of adults aged 65 and older despite the aluminum, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Ironically, even mainstream medicine is beginning to question whether the pertussis vaccine is all that effective in first place. There’s a worldwide epidemic of whooping cough going on, and the vaccine doesn’t seem to be doing much to prevent the disease. Immunity seems to be weak and to wear off rather quickly—in as little as three years. Is it even worth the risk? As our colleagues at ANH-Europe point out: Much of the effectiveness of the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine is a statistical mirage; it’s hardly surprising that the current US outbreak is occurring against a background of record vaccination rates. Washington, for example, one of the states worst affected by the current outbreak, recorded that 92.9% of children aged 18–36 months received 3 or more doses of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine in 2010–11. The CDC’s new vaccine schedule also removes previous precautions about pregnant women being given the hepatitis A vaccine—despite the fact that its safety for pregnant women has not been determined. Moreover, hepatitis A has a mortality rate of less than 1%, and almost everyone who gets it recovers without treatment. So why is a vaccine necessary? Some hepatitis A vaccines contain aluminum as an adjuvant. Why recommend pregnant women expose themselves to the vaccine’s risks with so little benefit? Several states have introduced vaccine legislation that we’re keeping an eye on. Because the number of bills is large, we won’t include all the alerts here. Instead we’ll shortly send out individual alerts to readers in each affected state. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32455990 United Kingdom 03/01/2013 04:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you mistakenly linked to an anti-vax parody site? In the first point made about allergic diseases one of the studies used as reference hints that there may be some correlation but then the later study says completely the opposite of what the author actually writes. [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Study number 2 referenced actually contradicts itself! [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Later and more structured and robust studies prove the non-correlation beyond all doubt though. Here's quite an in-depth one. [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] The author seems to be very selective in what she uses to promote her agenda wouldn't you think? Either that or she doesn't understand studies and can't research properly. Her use of Mendlesohn raises red flags too as he's a well known crank who is very well paid by anti-vax lawyers.... Some of the references she cites are quite bizarre with no actual link to what she writes at all! Others are historically correct (the SV40 for instance) but then she fails to mention that this was discovered and stopped in the 1960's! From a factual perspective, what she's written is effectively lies or at the very best manipulation of the truth obviously to fit her agenda. It written solely to take advantage of the lack of knowledge of the person on the street and in that respect is extremely dangerous. Just look at the title "Vaccination: Be Informed!" in bold red lettering. Absolutely disgraceful propaganda. |

I'm interested in the topic and its not discussed enough. Please move aside PRO VACCINE GUY. Quoting: Cebeij I'm not particularly pro-vaccine. I just like people to have proper information before making a choice as it should always be a choice. But that choice should be based upon credible information. Not bullshit propaganda like this. If you actually look at the article Mopar the gullible has linked to you will find that it ALSO links to "government" websites.... D'Oh! Don't make up your mind then do "research". That's bad research. Arguments have two sides. Research BOTH of them and then make up your mind. That's good research. |

What did the human race do before vaccines? They evolved Also I never read her sources. Only her forum post. Let me state that I have an uncle with 2 aspergers kids. Both he thinks were a cause of vaccines. This is hard to prove or disprove, but people have feelings. |

Fair enough. And what did the human race do before vaccines? Generally became very unwell and/or died. It's not hard to prove or disprove that vaccines cause autism. It's been disproven. This is what I'm on about. Agenda-fuelled idiots (like the OP) passing on bullshit information to confuse laymen. It obviously works in some cases. |

I think YOU and those that dont vaccinate kids just HOPE that everyone elses kids ARE vaccinated so they dont pass diseases on to your brats. So selfish! |
