To come to this conclusion, researchers examined data on almost 12,000 families from the National Immunization Survey, a

nationwide survey of childhood vaccinations that includes information about ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Children of less-educated mothers were 16 percent more likely to have up-to-date vaccinations. The study's senior author posited that the reason could be the controversy regarding the safety of vaccinations, and a higher awareness of this among the educated. American Journal of Public Health December 28, 2006 The New York Times January 17, 2007 Dr. Mercola's Comment: I realize that the issue of vaccination is quite controversial and is one of the bedrocks of "prevention" in conventional medicine. Anyone who opposes them is viewed as a dangerous lunatic. This is exactly the view I had when I graduated medical school. However, after 20 years of practice and encountering hundreds of vaccine casualties in my practice, and carefully reviewing the evidence, I came to a different conclusion. I strongly encourage you to review the evidence before you expose your own children to these potentially dangerous injections. I am convinced that their questionable benefits are far outweighed by their side effects. Apparently many educated parents agree with this position as the above study demonstrates. Avoiding vaccinations for your children tends to look like the better choice the more you know about the subject.

Vaccines given to newborns contain an array of potentially toxic chemicals including formaldehyde, the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal, aluminum phosphate (toxic and carcinogenic), antibiotics, phenols (corrosive to skin and toxic), live viruses and various other components. Before you decide to vaccinate your children, do them a favor and look into the many risks and side effects associated with common childhood vaccines. Doing so could literally mean the difference between life and death. There are alternate and vastly safer methods of protecting yourself against disease that all begin with a truly healthy diet, as outlined in my eating plan; of course, drug manufacturers and

the government they have purchased don't want you to believe that the foods you consume and the habits you adopt are the primary solution to establishing immunity to diseases and living longer. They want you to believe that their pharmaceuticals, including vaccines, are essential to your existence, and your children's. On Vital Votes, Dex from Orem, Utah relates the following: "After my firstborn son became a victim to the socialized autism epidemic from immunizations, I have refused

to give any more of my children as human sacrifices to ignorance. When my wife insists about vaccinations, I say she must study the issue before making any decisions that can harm our children. "People who insist on immunization have not done due diligence, or they would be against it. The irony, of course, is that people who are in the mainstream, who insist everyone should be inoculated with harmful toxins, think those who oppose their view are uninformed. "Those who study the issue out soon realize that vaccines are potentially dangerous, compromising to the immune system, and mind-altering."
