Simple Vaccination Information

Given the enormous amount of publicity concerning the Swine flu vaccination it seems a good time to bring to your attention some simple info about vaccination in general.

1. Nature never allows more than one disease e.g measles and muumps to co-exist in the human body. The body simply cannot do this. So why give these childhood diseases in compound shots and how does the body then cope with this onslaught?
2. The main reason for promoting and giving vaccines to young children are simple; one is fear by the parents and the other is straightforward marketing. Get parents to participate when they are still visiting baby clinics and they become  a captive audience.
3. Ask yourself, ‘what’s in it for the doctors and pharmaceutical industry’? The answer is money but I would also say, some doctors truly believe they are being altruistic and  that vaccines are good for humanity.
4. Ask yourself, ‘whats in it for the perople against vaccination?’ Nothing.
From this baseline start doing your research in order to make an informed decision. There are hundreds of websites for and against a vaccine or vaccination programme.
5. Vaccines bypass our natural defence mechanisim. I liken it to leaving the house door wide open at night only to be suddenly woken by burglars at the end of your bed. There has been no warning, no perceptible sense that something was ‘afoot’, no time for preparing a defence. This is what happens with a vaccination.
6. If having done your research you decide to go-ahead with vaccination/s then ensure you have the following information:
The manufacturer’s name
The Batch No
Date of vaccination
The type of vaccination
Where is was administered into the body.
Don’t be passive about asking for this information. If you or your child become ill after receiving a vaccine it is important you report all symptoms to the GP and insist on it being recorded on the Yellow Card system (UK procedure). This system collates all adverse affects of a drug or vaccine in order for the medical and pharmaceutical profession to gauge the efficacy or otherwsie of a drug or vaccine . Frequently this is not used and patients are often ‘fobbed-off’ with a response from the practice that the symptoms are normal. Yes they may be normal but its your child or your own body and if, further on in your life you get the strong impression that you have not been well since, then you have had it recorded at the time of early symptoms. I do not adhere or believe in scare-mongering but it seems almost irreponsible not to know exactly what is being put into your body. If in the future you feel strongly you have suffered adverse affects from the vaccination, you have recorded and had recorded your journey. This is vital if you ever have the misfortune of starting litigation.
Don’t be timid or cower to peer pressure. Make a well researched and informed decision. Many parents  verbally attack parents of non-vaccinated children wrongly stating they are the cause of allowing these childhood illnesses to proliferate. If vaccination works, why do vaccinated children still get the illness.
