MANY different reasons why many parents from all different backgrounds and levels of education and socioeconomic status are beginning to choose to forego vaccinations:
1.
Medically the argument is that
there just isn’t enough evidence to support the claim that vaccines are safe or
effective and incalculable evidence that points to vaccines being linked to
serious side effects. The only large-scale research out there is the
research done by the vaccine manufacturers themselves and not one of them has
been conducted SOLELY on the side effects or long term effects of vaccines.
There have been NO long term studies on the side effects of vaccines. The
studies the vaccine-makers use to determine the safety of vaccines only follows
participants "for hours, several days , and occasionally for a few weeks
longer... autoimmune responses may take months, even years, to emerge." There have been no large scale studies specifically testing
to see if SIDS, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, Guillain bare syndrome, ADHD,
asperger's, spectrum disorders, eczema, childhood arthritis, chronic bronchitis
in children, dyslexia, neurological disorders, recurrent ear infections,
allergies… are related to vaccines. The list goes on and on with
conditions that medical doctors across the globe have linked to vaccines. The
CDC gets thousands of reported cases of vaccine damage a year and admits that
the cases are LARGELY under reported. No one has investigated the genetic
predispositions which may be causing some children to react to vaccines this
way, no one tests your child before injecting them with known toxins, no one
screens for tendencies toward illness.
2.
As for the common sentence that
‘vaccinations has been given to generations and generations and the benefits
outweigh the risks and we are all healthy.’ In addition to #1, we can refute it
also by stressing on the fact that we are not healthy, nor are our child. The
diseases marked in yellow above and many others are becoming more common. (Below is a longer reply to refute this common misconception that we are the biggest long-term proof on vaccination safety).
3.
As for the claims that vaccines
eradicated diseases such a polio in the United States there is graphical
evidence to the contrary. Looking at the graphs reporting the time frames
of the rise and fall of these specific diseases you will see that reported
cases were on STEEP declines years before the vaccines were ever introduced.
The natural decline in such diseases can be attributed to much safer medical
practices and drastically better sanitary conditions everywhere in the world;
and the fact that on our planet all organisms come to a peak in population growth
and die off within a certain amount of time (any and all organisms). As I
learned in a Population, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution class in college every
organism within a population controls itself naturally, without outside
interference. It has very low population and it grows, then is naturally held
in check by mother nature as it dies off. The vaccine makers saw the
populations of diseases declining and contributed it to the vaxes without
considering all possible causes of the occurrence. (Hey, vaxes were making them
billions of dollars, why even try to find another reason?) In the recent past the outbreaks of such diseases in our
country happen among people who have been vaccinated - in all cases
75% or more of the people who acquire the disease report having
been vaccinated for that same disease. There are many outbreaks of
diseases that were previously completely eradicated being caused SOLELY by the
vaccines administered.
In India in 2012, they celebrated a whole year going by without a polio death. Great news, hey! But have you heard of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis? A new study revealed that rates of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) have increased 1200% since the oral polio vaccine was introduced a decade ago. Bear in mind NPAFP is "clinically indistinguishable" from wild polio. Clinically. Indistinguishable. We may have eliminated a virus, but we have not eliminated paralysis, which, after all, should have been the goal of the program.
So, has polio been "eradicated" or reclassified?
Also, you most likely source of getting polio in America in the last 60 years was actually from a polio vaccine. In 1955, in what is now referred to as the 'Cutter Incident', 120,000 people were mistakenly vaccinated with live polio. Whoops!

The history of polio has been distorted.
The first thing anyone says when you discuss not giving vaccines is 'do you want her to get polio?' Obviously not, although 'getting' polio and being paralyzed are two completely different things, given that 95% of polio cases are asymptomatic. Furthermore, polio has been consistently reclassified over the last 50 years so that many diseases we called polio at one time are no longer called that. This reclassification is not just an American trait, though.In India in 2012, they celebrated a whole year going by without a polio death. Great news, hey!

Some would argue that the risks
of getting a vaccine are far greater or equal to the risks of catching these
diseases. For example in some countries today the measles are
just a common childhood disease, like chicken pox were when we were
growing up. When you get measles very rarely are there any major
complications - you get sick for a week or two and you have natural immunity
for life (unlike a vaccines, whose immunity only lasts for ten years or less,
if there is any immunity at all!). Many medical professionals would argue that
having an aversive reaction to a MMR vaccine is far more likely than having a
serious complications from the measles, mumps or rubella in today's society
where medical care is so advanced and readily available.
5.
Another argument is that there are
vaccines for diseases which your child is extremely unlikely to be exposed to.
How likely is a new born or even a child to be exposed to such a disease as
Hepatitis B which is usually transmitted sexually or through sharing drug
needles? Statistics show that they are actually more likely to have an adverse
reaction to a vaccination!
6.
Another argument is that injecting
things into our bodies isn’t natural. Normally a disease must pass
through many other bodily defenses before it invades your body
(nasopharynx, lungs, blood circulation, lymph tissues antibody and cellular
protection...). But when you inject something into the body you bypass all
of this your defense system has no time to prepare the rest of your body for
the infection and this disrupts the natural flow and order of the body and nature in general.
7.
It is also true that not everyone
who contracts a disease gets sick. There are many people who are carrying
around disease germs, such a the flu for example, that aren’t sick at all and
wont get sick. Diseases only harm our bodies if we do not properly care for our
bodies or there are other reasons why our immune systems aren't responding
properly such as AIDS, medications and other factors. For most of us healthy
individuals, If we get adequate nutrition and exercise our bodies are
capable of fighting off most disease germs a lot of times without even
experiencing any of the symptoms or complications. Being exposed to diseases
naturally during childhood "provides immunity against those diseases and may
prevent chronic problems later in life". The "human immune system
has evolved over tens and thousands of years to respond to and be
strengthened by invading disease-causing organisms. If that natural tendency to
fight these organisms is taken away through the use of vaccinations, the body
just can't do it's job to protect us resulting in all the autoimmune diseases
associated with vaxes."
8.
There are those who
don't believe it’s right to inject our bodies with chemicals and
disease germs and think it’s unnatural to purposely put these known
toxins and viruses into our bodies. It’s a fact that vaccines contain toxic
materials and elements and many vaccines contain ‘patented’ ingredients that no
one knows about. How can I put in the blood of my baby some ‘secret’
ingredient?
9.
In the past it has been necessary
for us to put our blind faith in the government, pharmaceuticals and medical
profession to decide these things for us, due to a lack of information provided
to us on the topic. Many people in the medical profession give vaccines with
good will, as they would do to their own beloved children. But when you know
the FACT that the pharmaceuticals are the ones behind vaccines, behind
research, behind medical curriculum, behind FDA regulations and etc. Are pharmaceuticals
really concerned about our health or about the multi-billion industry? We
no longer need to blindly trust WHO, government regulations and doctors, no
longer should doctors blindly believe in and implement what is passed on to
them from pharmaceuticals, medical journals and etc. that because of the vast
amounts of alternative information and evidence available to us. We can stop
being sheep and pave our own path for the life and health of our children.

After long readings, research, thinking & lots lots of prayers for Allah to guide us to what is best for our son Kareem....we came to the following conclusion:-
ReplyDeleteAllah is our One & Only Protector and we just have to try our very best in making decisions and rely that He will protect us & our children. If we decide to vaccinate, there are risks & if we decide not to there are other risks. So the bottom line, is do your homework, listen to your heart & rely on Allah.
After coming across all the facts on vaccines, we are not convinced nor comfortable injecting these toxins into our baby's blood stream. We decided not to vaccinate Kareem for at least the first 2 years and stay open for more research, findings and signs that Allah sends to us.
As for #2.
ReplyDeletePeople keep telling me, what's wrong with you Lina, you're over doing health consciousness..take it easy. You are healthy aren't you? Aren't we all healthy? Well here's the statistics, and if we don't act, we will be among them, Allah y3afeena wou y7meena!
1 out of every 5 children has a learning disability
30 fold increase in childhood diabetes in the last 15 years
1 in 7 children has asthma
1 in 67 children have Autism (which was 1 out of every 10,000 children in the 1990s)
That's without mentioning cancers, cardiovascular diseases, depression and etc.

Hi Lina- Thanks for your insight. I've come to similar conclusions based on my readings as well. I am extremely skeptical of the government, of the medical establishment and without a doubt, the pharma industry!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about the fact that many of these common childhood diseases (such as MMR) no longer exist (or are very rare) in part because of vax, so our kids won't likely contract these diseases (or get lifetime immunity) as children, but they could be exposed to the diseases when they are older, when complications are likely to arise? (Sorry, did that make sense?) It's just something I haven't been able to reconcile and something I keep coming back to when faced with these decisions. Thanks!!
Hello Nathalie, mmmm I really have no idea, do you mean when they are adults? More and more i'm meeting people (all over the world) who chose not to vaccinate their children and they are grown-ups now with no problems. My bottom line is that I will choose to boost their natural immunity in every way rather than induce them with and outside immunity....good luck in making the best decision for you and your family
