The topic of Discussion is now CLOSED, thank you

The topic of immunizations, vaccines, shots, childhood illnesses and diseases...whatever name you care to address it with....
This topic is now closed.
I have enjoyed the links and articles shared, and I have been very blessed by those who have shared with me on this.
Truth is, however, we aren't going to change one another's minds, and honestly, that's ok with me. I'm not your health conscience. I have my own full plate here with 9 children. I allow for myself to be mistaken and I expect for you to do the same ;o)

My point here -- LOL, well, besides being a dog with a bone -- is that you can find any study, any set of statistic evidence, anything you want or need to back up your view point. It's not rocket science, folks, really it isn't.

If you want to keep arguing vaccinations vs none, why not just take it to the next level...let's keep mothers eternally pregnant? I mean, if women are going to keep having children and truly want them to be safe, keep them in the womb. It's the only sterile environment you're gonna find.

My argument would still be if you are going to have children, read up on all the information available to you on every subject that comes up, make the best informed decision you can based on what you know when you know it, and pray fervently that you are following the right direction and guidance.

This is an imperfect world we live in in case that slipped anyone's attention. We are not perfected yet. That comes later on for Believers. Do the best you can while walking in this world and wait patiently for the better one. You have a lot of day to day decisions to make in this life -- be informed enough to live with those you make without regret.

Back in 1924 Mark Twain was quoted as saying, "There are three kinds of lies — lies, damned lies, and statistics." When Mark Twain made this statement, his point was that numbers could be manipulated by the unscrupulous to misrepresent facts, to justify a particular bias, or fulfill a particular agenda.

Other candidates for promoting autism in susceptible children exist besides rubella (German Measles). Zecca , et al. at the New Jersey Medical School's Children's Hospital of New Jersey in Newark compared rubeola (measles) virus titers between autistic and normal children. They found a 3-fold increase in rubeola titers over expected normal range among 16 children diagnosed with autism from their clinical practice. A Wilcoxon-Kruskal-Wallas test comparing 13 rubeola titers from normal children revealed a statistically significant p-value of 0.005 for the difference between autistic and normal children.

On February 17, 2000, The FDA cleared a new pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine with questionable safety, and a US government advisory panel is reported a plan to selectively target African-American and Native American children for immunization. This plan was criticized for making children of racial minorities "human guinea pigs". It is possible that 1% or more of the children who receive the vaccine may develop insulin dependent diabetes or another autoimmune disease from the vaccine.²

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that children under 2 receive the new pneumococcal vaccine, asking that black and Native American children age 2-5 be selectively targeted for immunization. This policy came under criticism because the vaccine had not been properly tested for safety and the FDA had been told by an expert that the vaccine might cause autoimmune disease.

The controversial vaccine was the conjugated 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine, which is a combination of 7 different vaccines, each to a separate strain of pneumococcal pneumonia bacteria. The vaccine is similar in structure to the already marketed hemophilus meningitis vaccine, which has been linked to insulin dependent diabetes.³

Dr. Classen told the FDA that the 7 valent pneumococcal vaccine could be 7 times as toxic as the hemophilus vaccine, possibly causing an estimated 400 to 700 children to develop insulin dependent diabetes per100,000 children immunized. These cases of diabetes may not occur until 3.5 to 10 years following immunization.

The U.S. government has paid more than $1 billion to compensate victims of vaccination injuries and continues to compile a database of all reported "adverse events'' from vaccine administration. This database, available on the Internet , was instrumental in helping health officials detect bowel obstruction problems that led to the recent withdrawal of the rotavirus vaccine.

Vaccine Safety Website

This site is dedicated to the promotion of safer immunization practices through the application of scientific principles to vaccine research. The website highlights research into the long term effects of vaccines and discusses potential harmful effects of vaccines. The content of this site is not intended to be anti-immunization but instead to promote the concept that the goal of immunization is to promote health not eradicate infections. It is hoped that through the collection and dissemination of information about the chronic effects of vaccines, safer immunization practices will become available for those who choose to be immunized.

There is growing evidence that immunization cause a large number of other chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases, allergies, asthma, cancers, and Gulf War Syndrome. Data linking these diseases to vaccines includes human and animal data. In some cases the increased risk of developing these diseases following immunization exceeds the risk of the infectious complications prevented by immunization.

December 8, 2008: Newly published data in the Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews , provides further evidence for the link between vaccination and the to the epidemics of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, a group of disorders including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and altered blood lipids. Asians and other non white minorities are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes/metabolic syndrome as an adverse event from vaccination while whites are at higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes and autoimmune disorders from vaccination.
