> > For more than a hundred years, two basic assumptions have

> > been put forth by public health officials. One is that vaccines

> > are safe. The second is that vaccines are effective for the

> > conditions for which they're given. The public and our

> > legislators have, by and large, accepted these assumptions as

> > true, and as a result it is now compulsory in many states that

> > children have as many as 33 inoculations before entering

> > school, with some of these given as early as the first few weeks

> > of life.

> > We've been told that the end of smallpox, polio, and measles as

> > serious health threats is due to mass inoculation programs, and

> > again we have accepted the official dogma unquestioningly. But

> > as we shall see here, this is not exactly the truth. What's more, a

> > disturbing reality that has generally been unrecognized is the

> > ever-growing number of individuals suffering adverse reactions

> > to vaccinations.

> >

> > These individuals are predominantly infants and children, and

> > the problems they've incurred as a result of vaccination go way

> > beyond sore arms and transitory fever:

> >

> > Such conditions as autism, attention deficit disorder, minimal

> > brain dysfunction, and other biochemical and neurological

> > abnormalities have been linked to the effects of vaccines. Most

> > tragically, so has SIDS-sudden infant death syndrome. Yet

> > because of underreporting of these troubling statistical links, a

> > full picture of the effects of vaccination has not emerged. And

> > the problem of underreporting is a deep-seated one, because

> > not only are the news media not playing up what has already

> > been learned, but doctors are not being encouraged to report

> > possible adverse reactions, slowing additional learning. Couple

> > these problems with the official line that for the greater good

> > of the majority a small minority must accept negative

> > consequences, and you have a situation in which nobody is

> > really looking for the truth.

> > articles. I am not personally taking positions on individual

> > vaccines, but I am, rather, presenting information based upon

> > hard science; hundreds of references are included here for

> > those who want to read further. For people challenging

> > mandatory vaccination policies, the reference section will

> > be particularly helpful, as it will be for anyone who simply

> > wants to look beyond the official line and see what's actually

> > happening. It is interesting to note that the situation with

> > vaccination is analogous to that with chemotherapy; both are

> > presented to the public as efficacious and safe when in reality,

> > with a few exceptions for each, they are neither. In both cases,

> > then, personal decision-making requires extensive research.

> > We are repeatedly told that vaccines are safe, vital to our

> > well-being, and necessary for the prevention of many diseases.

> > Most of us take it for granted that not being vaccinated

> > endangers our health and safety. In a worst-case scenario, we

> > envision world-wide plagues and even extinction. Our faith in

> > vaccinations is so strong that we think of them as panaceas, and

> > look to science to develop new ones for every known affliction,

> > * Jamie Murphy, author of What Every Parent Should Know

> > About Immunization explains society's general acceptance

> > of vaccinations as due, in large part, to state laws that dictate

> > children must receive vaccines before they can attend school.

> >

> > Murphy elaborates on the history of these requirements:

> > " Right now, all 50 states have vaccination statutes that require

> > immunization before a child is allowed to attend school. But it

> > wasn't always that way. In 1905, to give an example, only 11

> > states had compulsory laws. In other states it was optional. And

> > in the early 1920s, there were four states--Utah, North Dakota,

> > Minnesota, and Arizona--that had explicit statutory provisions

> > against compulsory vaccination. Over the years, unfortunately,

> > all of the states have made vaccinations compulsory. "

> >

> > Murphy feels that one of the major mistakes that was

> > made--and that is repeatedly made--is that the politicians,

> > who were greatly encouraged by the lobbyists from the drug

> > companies, were convinced, without proper investigation, that

> > vaccines were the only way of preventing disease. " This, "

> > Murphy says, " gives credence to an idea that has dominated

> > medical practice for this entire century. " Barbara Loe Fisher,

> > cofounder and president of the National Vaccine Information

> > Center (NVIC), in Vienna, Virginia, reminds us that people

> > tend to trust that the law is in their best interest. Those who

> > feel otherwise are given a difficult time. " Part of the problem

> > is that in 1905 a Supreme Court decision, Jacobson vs.

> > Massachusetts, set the stage for what we're experiencing right

> > now in this country, and that is that many people don't feel they

> > have the option to say no. Parents who do are being charged

> > with child medical neglect and child abuse.

> > The Clinton administration has now linked entitlement

> > programs to vaccination status, which means that a poor family

> > dependent upon federal assistance will not get food money,

> > medical care, and other entitlements if they cannot show proof

> > that their children have gotten every single one of their ten

> > required vaccines. "

> > Why We Should Question Our Assumptions

> > Safety Issues

> > Significant adverse effects have been reported with every type
