If germs cause disease, why doesn’t everyone get sick? |

|
Many childhood diseases were naturally declining
due to technological advances such as improved sanitation, nutrition and
health care. |
|
Vaccine effectiveness is questioned when
children incapable of producing antibodies recover from infectious diseases
almost as quickly as other kids. |

In the late 1980’s, the US experienced outbreaks

Vaccines containing bacteria or viruses are
used to induce immunity (artificially) against a specific disease. They
mimic the process of naturally occurring infection by artificial
means. Some of the agents used to
bind and preserve the virus are: |
|
Ethyl Glycol (antifreeze) |
|
Formaldehyde (used to preserve dead bodies) |
|
Acetone (finger nail polish remover) |
|
Aluminum Phosphate (linked to cancer) |
|
Mercury (cancer causing agent) |
|
Phenol (carbon acid disinfectant) |
|
Thimersol (known carcinogen) |
|
Each ingredient has a known reaction in the
body. |

By understanding the risks of vaccination, you
can make an informed decision whether
those risks outweigh the benefits for your child. |
|
Many states require vaccination before children
can enter school; exemptions can be
made for religious, medical or philosophical reasons. |
|
Check with your state health agency or the
Centers for Disease Control to find out about the exemption laws in your
area. |
|
Currently, you cannot be forced to immunize. |
