Facts About Vaccines


Do you know everything there is to know about vaccines? Are you confident that what you are allowing doctors to inject in your child is perfectly healthy? Most doctors promote vaccines and will even go so far as to kick you out of their practice if you refuse to go along. There are some interesting facts about vaccines that most parents don’t realize and if they did they certainly would not be so complacent about allowing their child to be vaccinated.

Fact #1 Vaccines Have Side Effects

Vaccines can have some serious side effects. Most parents believe vaccines may simply cause some irritation or soreness or even a slight fever. However, there are significantly more serious side effects that may occur with vaccination. For example, children may experience seizures, convulsions, developmental delays, attention deficit disorder, autism, and a host of other side effects. The vast majority of children don’t display these effects right away and it may take a while for the symptoms to become obvious. In fact, some children may end up with autoimmune disorders later in life, higher risks of cancer, and more. Vaccines are not safe and many times the disease they are trying to prevent are safer than the vaccines.

Vaccines Do Not Guarantee Immunity

Plenty of parents will tell you that they immunize their child to prevent certain diseases. However, did you know that many children will still be sickened by a disease even if they are vaccinated? The efficacy of vaccines are not 100%, or even close, and many individuals each year become ill with diseases they have been vaccinated for. You may wonder why you would vaccinate your child if they can still get sick. That is an excellent question!

Vaccines are Made with Carcinogens

Another vaccine fact is that they are made with carcinogens. Mercury, aluminum, and many other carcinogens are in vaccines. Even the much-debated thimerosal still shows up in some vaccine preparations. In addition to this, vaccines are made with animal cells like monkey kidney cells or chick embryos.

Doctors Don’t Know Everything About Vaccines

You would imagine that your child’s doctor would be well educated on all vaccines and the risks associated with them. However this is rarely the case. Many times doctors just follow the vaccine schedule and never question the vaccines or their possible side effects. In fact, many doctors will not acknowledge that side effects or symptoms your child experiences after vaccination came from the shots. Be very careful when choosing your pediatrician and find one that supports you and your decisions regarding vaccinations.
