Says some vaccines could be dangerous

I dutifully vaccinated my first child, who immediately came down with a high fever, personality change and high pitched crying for days — all typical symptoms of vaccineinduced swelling of the brain, or mild encephalitis.

This was before I started my research into the problems associated with vaccinations. It was before I found out that the pertussis vaccine causes diabetes in mice, for example, or that 10 children’s vaccines are cultured on aborted fetal tissue.

I began to wonder why, if a pregnant woman shouldn’t eat tuna because of trace mercury, how it could be safe for infants to receive multiple doses of thimerosal, which is 50 percent mercury.

We all know that vaccinations do something to a child’s immune system, but no comparative study shows how they handle 33 vaccinations by the time they reach kindergarten.

Has medical over-exuberance increased children’s susceptibility to dozens of chronic auto-immune disorders, including autism, asthma, arthritis, eczema and lupus? Many researchers are now admitting to a temporal connection, if not yet a causal one. What a terrible tradeoff. Until vaccine injuries are fully reported and researched, parents should be free to weigh the risks and decide without a government mandate.
