REFUSING PREVENTATIVE APPROACH IS DEVASTATING – (11-07-05)

by

Dismissing the Family Who Refuses Vaccines

This is interesting. Vaccination is viewed as preventative by the medical profession. So refusal of a preventative approach is devastating enough to the doctor patient relationship to cancel that relationship. Okay. Let’s run the survey again. How many pediatricians would dismiss their patients who refuse to stop feeding their children refined carbs? Refined carbs are devastating to a child’s health and longevity to a degree that dwarfs vaccination preventable diseases. We can all guess the results.

So why selectively dismiss patients whose parents refuse vaccination, but at the same time not aggressively pursue and recommend avoidance of other behaviors much more damaging? And without the potential downside that vaccination can have in genetically suseptable individuals…

MUMPS OUTBREAK AT A SUMMER CAMP – (04-24-06)

Mumps Outbreak at a Summer Camp

Ok. 96% vaccination coverage and we still get an “outbreak.” While I understand the mumps, in a small percentage of patients, can be serious, there are times we need to step back and evaluate our thirst for vaccination. In this case, the mumps vaccine did little to protect the people at this summer camp. So, a procedure that has potential serious ramifications (as evidenced by Dr. Wakefield’s work on MMR vaccination and autism) and is forced onto a population in the name of public health, may actually do little to truly protect those it is given to. Just how screwed up is that?

AUTISM IS A MULTI FACTORIAL DISORDER – (05-29-06)

Early Downward Trends in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines

This is a well-referenced article that looks into the issue that has raised some serious questions about our mindless devotion to vaccinations without question. I personally believe that autism is a multi factorial disorder, but I am fairly positive that mercury in vaccines is a definite player in the picture.

At what point did anyone decide that mercury, a potent neurotoxin, would be okay to be put into a vaccine that would be given to an infant? And how can anyone (including the Institute of Medicine) say that this is not a problem?

VACCINATION DOESN’T GIVE FULL PROTECTION FROM DISEASE – (04-10-06)

Horizontal transmission of the Leningrad-3 live attenuated mumps vaccine virus

It still surprises me how many people have full faith in vaccination’s ability to completely protect them from the disease they were vaccinated for. Here’s a perfect example of just how false that assumption is.

In this report, vaccinated patients actually transmitted the mumps virus from the vaccine to other patients who had been previously vaccinated. Try to explain this one with 100% vaccine effectiveness…

IMPACT OF FLU VACCINATION ON SEASONAL MORTALITY – (03-28-05)

Impact of Flu Vaccination on Seasonal Mortality in the US Elderly Population

What does and doesn’t get lots of press never ceases to amaze me.  This one did get some mild press for a day or so, but was quickly replaced by the info on vaccine shortages and where to get your vaccinations.

Huh?  Okay, let me get this straight–a large review of the data shows vaccinations for the elderly do not save lives, but run out and get yours.  Remember last year’s fear?  Several elderly persons actually DIED standing in line for an intervention that was not going to have an impact on their own mortality.  How ironic.

By the time next year’s “flu season” roles around, you can be the fear mongering and pressure to get vaccinated will be back full strength.  How quickly we forget!

EFFECTIVENESS OF INFLUENZA VACCINES IN HEALTHY CHILDREN – (04-04-05)

Assessment of the efficacy and effectiveness of influenza vaccines in healthy children: systematic review

To quote: “no studies assessed reductions in mortality, serious complications.”  Well, isn’t that just wonderful considering how much of a push there is to get every child vaccinated with the flu vaccine.

Compare this with a recent review of the flu vaccine in the elderly used over the past 40 years or so with no reduction in mortality in those receiving the vaccine.  And remember this next flu season–the push will be on again to get vaccinated and the scare tactics will be employed.  We’ll forget these pesky little studies and line up like lemmings…

TO VACCINATE OR NOT TO VACCINATE – (04-04-05)

by

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate—that is the question: why are some mothers opposed to giving their infants hepatitis B vaccine?

Can someone explain to me why, in study after study after study, the parents who chose not to follow the full vaccination schedule are the most educated and more affluent?  Just a rhetorical question, of course…
