Are childhood immunizations safe

by Vicky Diamond

Is it safe to inject a child with cells from someone else's aborted baby? Most parents have no idea that this and other questionable ingredients are in their children’s vaccines. We have been conditioned in our society to rely on vaccinations for the prevention of illness, but what if we have been wrong? It is something that few parents have even thought to question. Perhaps it is time for parents to do their own research instead of trusting in a system whose major players are multi-million dollar drug companies. Many parents look at the risks of not vaccinating and feel powerless to do anything different. The truth is that no one can claim that every child who receives a vaccine will be safe from the disease. Nor can anyone promise that no child will ever have serious side effects from a vaccine. There are just too many variables: an immune-compromised child, a contaminated dose, an allergic reaction, a failure of the vaccine to “take.” One problem, though many claim it as a good thing, is that there is a vaccine for everything. This means that there are more chemicals and poisons that are being injected into our bodies.

There is so much information out there concerning vaccines and each source is either pro-vaccination or anti-vaccination. There are few in-betweens. As recently as 1999, the vaccine industry began removing mercury as an ingredient in many vaccines, though some manufacturers still use trace amounts in their formulations. We need to be able to trust the information that is given to us. Even many parents who are convinced that vaccination works question why a newborn is given a vaccine against Hepatitis B. And those are just the parents who have done their own research. Most parents do not even know that the nursery staff will be offering this vaccine to their baby. Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids that contain blood. Any mother and father knows their baby has not engaged in risky behavior warranting the fear of contamination. If doctors would simply test the mother for the disease before birth (if she is even concerned she might have it), this would cut down on countless unnecessary doses of the vaccine. Every child doesn’t need every vaccine.

Have  vaccinations done wonders to eradicate or weaken some diseases on the world scene? Sure!  Smallpox and Polio come to mind. But at what cost? We are seeing a rise in children with autism, and
