Are Vaccines Safe and Effective?

1. Are Vaccines Safe and Effective? By Alicia Alba April 30, 2003 For the Cleo and Zack Project

2. Know the facts before you get injected, your life may depend on it. “If the smallpox vaccine was given today 50 million Americans would be at risk for injury or death if they are exposed to the live vaccinia virus either directly by getting vaccinated or by coming into contact with someone who has been recently.” (Barbara Loe Fisher Director of the National Vaccine Information Center).

3. Many diseases are linked to vaccines.And sometimes you can transmit these diseases to other people. Unvaccinated Child with eczema vaccina contracted from vaccinated sibling. Young man with tumor as a result of vaccine in the arm. Pictures from www.whale.to/vaccines/diseases.html

5. The Thimerosal and Autism Link *This product should be considered equivalent to thimerosal-free products.This vaccine may contain trace amounts (<0.3 mcg) of mercury left after post-production thimerosal removal; these amounts have no biological effect.   JAMA 1999;282(18) and JAMA 2000;283(16).

6. Contamination Picture from www.whale.to/vaccines/diseases.html “In 1798, Dr.Edward Jenner, observed that milkmaids were resistant to smallpox. Most of the milkmaids Jenner studied had been infected with cowpox in the course of their occupation. Cowpox and smallpox are related viruses. Milkmaids were exposed to a weakened version of the pox virus, which gave them immunity to the more virulent smallpox. Dr. Edward Jenner’s observation of milkmaids paved the way to a safer smallpox vaccine using fluid from cowpox lesions. (http://www.umanitoba.ca/manitoban/20020116/features_6.shtml)

7. Proof that the vaccines do not always work. Graphics from www.whale.to/vaccines/diseases.html “Contrary to popular belief smallpox was not eradicated by mass vaccination. Though tried initially it proved difficult to implement in many countries and was abandoned in favor of surveillance-containment. This involved trained workers searching for cases, with rewards for those who found them. Cases and their contacts were then isolated; contacts were vaccinated.” “The last natural case occurred in Somalia in 1977 and after exhaustive enquiries the 1980 WHO Assembly concluded that smallpox had been eradicated.” (Baxby, Derrick. March 1999.“The End of Smallpox”. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_1/m1373/3_49/54175530/p4/article.jhtml)

8. Typical Allergic Reactions from the DPT vaccine: The National Vaccine Information Center estimates that only 10% of vaccine reactions get reported.

9. Politics and Vaccines = Big $$ “Immunization Initiative” Each Fully Vaccinated Child = $100 This equals $400 Million to the States. Graphic from: www.whale.to/vaccines/diseases.html

10. Disease Proliferates in Unsanitary Conditions.

11. If you do decide to get vaccinated, ask yourself these questions: • 1-Am I sick right now? • 2-Have I had a bad reaction to a vaccination before? • 3-Do I have family history of: • Vaccine reactions • Convulsions or neurological disorders • Severe allergies • Immune system disorders • 4-Do I know if I am at high risk of reacting? • 5-Do I have full information on the vaccine's side effects? • 6-Do I know how to identify a vaccine reaction? *From the National Vaccine Information Center.

12. But it is the Law, I have to get vaccinated.
