More and more parents around the globe are choosing to opt out of vaccinating themselves and their children. As a result of this trend that’s been gaining more and more momentum, a harsh response has come from the “pro-vaccine” community -criticizing parents for their decision to not vaccinate. At the end of the day it’s not really about “pro-vaccination” or “anti-vaccination,” it’s not one “against” the other or about pointing fingers and judgement, it’s simply about looking at all of the information from a neutral standpoint. It’s about asking questions and communicating so people can make the best possible decisions for themselves and their children. Parents love their kids and the vaccine “controversy” has made it difficult for many parents to know what to do. […] Read More

CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson discusses the conflicts of interest is those supposedly ‘independent’ sources that back the government’s assertion that vaccines and autism are not related. AAP, Every Child by Two and Dr. Paul Offit all receive hundreds in thousands of dollars in funding from Pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines, they do not disclose how much money they make, and yet claim that these huge sums of money in no way influence their stance on vaccine safety. UPDATE: Some autism writers went through the CHOP compensation guidelines to see how much Offit likely made from the sale of the Rotavirus vaccine. According to their estimates, his share was likely somewhere between 29 million and 55 million dollars. http://tinyurl.com/atv2s8 Offit still refuses to confirm how much he […] Read More
Dave Mihalovic http://preventdisease.com 9th August, 2013 You Want To Vaccinate My Child? No Problem, Just Sign This Form I have yet to meet a Physician that will sign this form now downloaded by hundreds of parents. The reason they won’t sign is two-fold: First, they do not want to place themselves in a vulnerable position of being negligent for not providing informed consent to thousands of other parents; and second, many of them realize after their own extensive research that the risks far outweigh any benefits when it comes to vaccination. It’s been over a year since hundreds of parents have downloaded this form and there are still no reports of any signatures. Many physicians won’t even look at the form while they dismiss a […] Read More
Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy centered around vaccinations. Even this blog has been discussing this hot-button issue for awhile. There has been a great deal of information and misinformation concerning supposed health-preventative strategies, including vaccines, and it’s important to explore all sides in order to make an informed decision. The proposed benefits of vaccines are obvious: a lower infection rate of deadly diseases. But, in what way can vaccines be dangerous for your health? Is it vaccines entirely, or is it specific things found only in certain kinds of vaccines that are concerning? Let’s take a look at exactly what makes some vaccines potentially dangerous. The Unspoken Reality About Vaccines What many people don’t know about the vaccination process is that […] Read More
A senior scientist at MIT has declared that we are facing an epidemic of autism that may result in one half of all children being affected by autism in ten years. Dr. Stephanie Seneff, who made these remarks during a panel presentation in Groton, MA last week, specifically cites the Monsanto herbicide, Roundup, as the culprit for the escalating incidence of autism and other neurological disorders. Roundup, which was introduced in the 1970’s, contains the chemical glyphosate, which is the focal point for Seneff’s concerns. Roundup was originally restricted to use on weeds, as glyphosate kills plants. However, Roundup is now in regular use with crops. With the coming of GMO’s, plants such as soy and corn were bioengineered to tolerate glyphosate, and its use […] Read More
As 2014 came to a close, the mainstream media and CDC desperately hoped that a last resort media blackout tactic would put to rest their well-deserved negative attention. Yet today, with 750,000,000 (on the way to one billion) #CDCwhistleblower Twitter impressions, it begs the question why this major story has not been investigated and given proper attention by mainstream media, enforcement agencies and worldwide medical oversight boards. The fact remains that in 2004, top CDC researchers saw a major statistically significant link to increased autism caused in their MMR vaccines trials and they blatantly covered it up. Due to the now infamous CDC whistle blower Dr. William Thompson’s press release admitting purposeful neglect, what started as a bump in the night has now grown into […] Read More
When does “freedom” put other children at serious risk? We Americans take our notions of personal freedom very seriously. And the only thing we are more protective of than our individual rights are our rights around how we raise our children. You could gather together a broad spectrum of parents, with deeply opposing social and political viewpoints and child rearing styles, and you’d easily be able to get them to join hands in outrage over a phrase like “nanny state.” Then again – just vaccinate your kids, people. The anti-vaccine movement has managed to gain an alarming amount of legitimacy in recent years, propelled by high profile Concerned Moms like Jenny McCarthy and Kristin Cavallari, as well as media-friendly pediatricians like Dr. Jay Gordon, who […] Read More
What is the most divisive topic you can bring up? Religion? Politics? Sports? I would venture to guess that vaccines are right up there with religion, politics and sports as the most passionately argued about topics that end up dividing otherwise friendly people into camps. Those who are listened to are either passionately and vehemently pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine. The people in the grey area tend to be trampled on, disregarded and dismissed. Allegations From Credible Sources Perhaps the divisiveness of the topic is why the mainstream media has largely disregarded the revelations of the so-called CDC whistle-blower, Dr. William Thompson, Senior Scientist at the CDC. Dr. Thompson has asserted that, while employed at the CDC, he and other CDC scientists and top officials hid data […] Read More
New report points to dangers of MMR immunization By Julie Foster 2000 WorldNetDaily.com A new report by Dr. Harold Buttram, a practicing physician in Quakertown, Pa., suggests the recent increase in the number of autistic children could be caused by the combination measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine routinely given to children at age 18 months — a phenomenon the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim is highly unlikely. In a past study of autistic children, researchers found that 84 percent of the children had antibodies against a certain type of brain tissue, indicating that the immune system was destroying brain cells. The researchers also found the brain tissue antibody to be very similar to the antibody that’s formed against the MMR vaccine. Additionally, […] Read More
