Why Are We Still Vaccinating? 25 Questions From A Former Pro-Vaccine Advocate
Brian Rogers

I
used to be pro vaccine. I know the feeling of thinking others were
just plain crazy and wrong for not vaccinating their children and
themselves. ‘Irresponsible!’ I said when pointing my finger. I’d use
the same old arguments about polio and small pox and how vaccines saved
us from all those horrible diseases and just swallowing and
regurgitating the propaganda I was brought up with. It was only
recently, in 2009 that I started questioning my long held beliefs and
began digging in to the history, efficacy and safety of vaccines. I was
appalled at what I found and the recklessness of those government
health agencies entrusted with our health and our children’s safety, and
angry with myself that I had put my family’s health at risk by blind
faith in others when I was ultimately responsible for the medical
decisions of my family.
When
I began to put this article together I specifically chose not to
include research from or links to websites that are considered
untrustworthy by most pro-vaxxers, sites such as Natural News, Mercola,
etc. even though I personally trust those sites and much more than I
would WebMd and for good reason [a]. Instead I chose to employ basic
logic and also incorporate independent and .gov scientific
studies-mostly peer review, journals, news from mainstream sources (that
pro-vaxxers love and totally trust) and articles that link to other
.gov scientific studies, as well as government statistical resources.
So, I started writing down questions and then looking for answers. I’ll
admit, some of these questions have already been asked by others, but I
just expanded upon it to form a helpful list.
I
hope the following information helps you in your lifelong journey in
search of health, vitality and truth in your own lives and your
children’s lives.
1.
Why are newborn babies vaccinated on their first day of life against a
disease that is primarily transmitted sexually and by needles in drug
users?
(Pregnant
women are already tested for STD’s prior to birth so there’s no reason
to give it to an infant). Interesting to note, of the few vaccines that
still are given to infants and STILL has thimerasol in it is Hep B and
DipTet (and Flu shot recommended to pregnant women). So, the claim that
it has been removed from all vaccines is a lie and misdirection. If
they give it to all newborns then ALL the newborns are getting that
thimerasol (mercury derivative). “It was removed from many child
vaccines in 2002 but remains in some vaccines (e.g., hepatitis B virus
and)” Page 21.
2. Why are babies given vaccines to produce antibodies when they do not produce antibodies until after the age of 3 to 6 months?
They get the required antibodies from breastfeeding.
3.
Why does the government tell parents to delay breast feeding and get
more vaccines when breast feeding babies produce higher levels of
antibodies?
4.
Why aren’t vaccine manufacturers held responsible when their product
injures your child? Why would these companies need to be protected from
the effects of such wonderful products?
(Look into Vaccine Injury Compensation Program .gov and VAERS)
The
Supreme Court ruling exempting the vaccine manufacturers from all
liability is done under the explicit understanding that they fall under
the category “unavoidably unsafe products.”
5. Why have no double blind, placebo, randomized controlled trials been done on any vaccines?
This is standard with any other drug.
6.
Why are we following the US vaccination schedule? We are the most
vaccinated population on the planet with the highest rates of infant
deaths/SIDS in the western world?http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/09/29/our-infant-mortality-rate-is-a-national-embarrassment/
7. Why are disease outbreaks occurring in populations with 90%+ vaccination rates? What about that ‘Herd Immunity’ guys?
8. Why are children vaccinated against these diseases still catching and spreading them?
http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/studies-show-measles-vaccine-spreads-virus/(see Johns Hopkins paper)
9. Why are we frightened of non-fatal illnesses that train a child’s immune system how to behave?
10.
Why are vaccine manufacturers allowed to reduce antigens and insert
cheap and toxic additives that aggravate the injection site?
11. Why do we need multi-dose vaccines if the number ONE priority of vaccine manufacturers is your child’s safety?
12.
Why will no physician sign a written guarantee for a child’s safety
prior to vaccinating them with products they insist you take and that
they say are completely safe?
13.
Why is there no outrage about the 3.1 billion dollars paid out in
vaccine injury/death claims and yet they claim there is no correlation
and they are perfectly safe?
14.
Why don’t people recognize from history that the most widespread and
lethal diseases in the last 200 years were reduced due to cleaner
drinking water, improved sanitation, nutrition, less overcrowded areas
and better living conditions?
Vaccines
were introduced at points in time where every single disease was
already declining, most almost completely gone. To give vaccines credit
for global reductions in disease is like giving a band-aid credit for
healing a wound that was already closing. Dr. Hans Rosling shows exactly
how the health condition of nearly all countries of the world have
improved with wealth, even 200 years ago, at the times where there no
vaccines.
https://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/graphs/ (blog yes, but the links are amazing and historical data.)
By
the late 1950s, even before the introduction of measles vaccine,
measles-related deaths and case fatality rates in the United States had
decreased markedly, presumably as a result of improvement in health care
and nutrition (Oxford Journal of Infectious Diseases).
15. Why do people keep parroting what they hear about ‘Herd Immunity?’
Herd
immunity is a hilarious concept that assumes that 1) Vaccinated people
are immune to the diseases for which they’ve been vaccinated, 2) Can not
carry the diseases for which they are vaccinated/immune, 3) Because
most of the people are vaccinated, other people around them can’t catch
the disease. My favourite analogy for herd immunity is that if 95% of
people in a building are wearing hard hats when the ceiling falls in,
the 5% are protected. (credit Dr. Robert Murdoch)
16. Why are almost all pro-vaxxer adults we talk to not up to date on their adult vaccinations/boosters?
17. Why do pro-vaxxers ignore .gov scientific studies?
18.
Why didn’t our government health agencies ever safety test thimerasol
(a mercury derivative and adjuvant) since Lilly developed it in the
1920’s?
They used it in vaccines from 1930 to 2004! It still is in some vaccines such as the flu vaccine and others. Here is a 2 minute clip, from Congressional Hearings. The EPA themselves acknowledge the toxic effects of mercury:
19. Why is it that only 40% of health professionals receive the flu shot each year? They must not believe in it.
20.
Why? Instead of a mandatory vaccine law, why don’t they have a
mandatory law passed to protect us from Iatrogenic Death? (Death by
Doctor, 3rd leading cause of death!)
21. Why doesn’t the pro vaccination public admit that the vaccinated spread disease and stop blaming us?

22. Why do people still trust their government health agencies when they say vaccines are perfectly safe?
With
all the big pharma fraud cases, Merck, Glaxo Smith Kline, etc. and all
the class action suits that come out several times a year for
death/injury you see on tv commercials every week, combine that with the
VICP and VAERS .gov statistics, and Iatrogenic Death statistics, why do
people still trust their government health agencies when they say
vaccines are perfectly safe? Having said that, why is government trusted
at all since Democide statistics (death by government) show that nearly
300 million in this last century were killed by the state. Those are
non-combatants.

23. Why do they put aborted fetal cells in Vaccines? Also DNA from monkeys, chickens, human tumour cells?image: http://livelovefruit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Vaccination3.jpg

24. Why is Aluminum being used as an adjuvant in vaccines when there are many .gov studies against it’s use as Toxic?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4202242/ (Go to Section 1.2. The Toxic Effects of Aluminum as a Vaccine Adjuvant. One of many aluminum studies)
25.
Why do people think the government can’t get away with secret human
testing of disease, drugs, and chemicals on us when they have done it
and apologized for it numerous times?
When
they put toxic ingredients in vaccines, food, drugs, water and our sky
that have no long term safety studies by any government health agency,
that is tantamount to human experimentation. It’s a crime under the
Geneva Convention, Nuremberg Code and our own constitution, and against
medical informed consent laws.
• http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12656420 (government study admitting experimentation of large populaces with aerosol vaccines)
Here’s a few more studies:
• Abnormal measles-mumps-rubella antibodies and CNS autoimmunity in children with autism. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12145534
“Autoimmunity
to the central nervous system (CNS), especially to myelin basic protein
(MBP), may play a causal role in autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder.
Because many autistic children harbor elevated levels of
measles antibodies, we conducted a serological study of
measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and MBP autoantibodies.
….over
90% of MMR antibody-positive autistic sera were also positive for
MBP autoantibodies, suggesting a strong association between MMR and
CNS autoimmunity in autism. Stemming from this evidence, we suggest that
an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles
component thereof, might be related to pathogenesis of autism.”
• Serological association of measles virus and human herpes virus-6
with brain auto-antibodies in autism. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756729
This
study is the first to report an association between virus serology
and brain auto antibody in autism; it supports the hypothesis that a
virus-induced autoimmune response may play a causal role in autism.
• Hypothesis: conjugate vaccines may predispose children to autism spectrum disorders. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21993250
“Conjugate
vaccines fundamentally change the manner in which the immune systems of
infants and young children function by deviating their immune responses
to the targeted carbohydrate antigens from a state of
hypo-responsiveness to a robust B2 B cell mediated response.
This
period of hypo-responsiveness to carbohydrate antigens coincides
with the intense myelination process in infants and young children, and
conjugate vaccines may have disrupted evolutionary forces that favoured
early brain development over the need to protect infants and young
children from capsular bacteria.”
• Effects of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis or tetanus vaccination on allergies and allergy-related respiratory symptoms among children and adolescents in the United States.
“The
odds of having a history of asthma was twice as great among
vaccinated subjects than among unvaccinated subjects. The odds of having
had any allergy-related respiratory symptom in the past 12 months was
63% greater among vaccinated subjects than unvaccinated subjects. The
associations between vaccination and subsequent allergies and symptoms
were greatest among children aged 5 through 10 years.”
• Neurological Complications of Pertussis Immunization
Review
is made of 107 cases of neurological complications of
pertussis inoculation reported in the literature. The early onset of
neurological symptoms was characteristic, with changes of consciousness
and convulsions as the most striking features. The question of aetiology
is considered and contraindications are discussed….as is the grave
danger of further inoculations when a previous one has produced any
suggestion of a neurological reaction.
• Hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and autism diagnosis, NHIS 1997-2002.
“Findings
suggest that U.S. male neonates vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine
prior to 1999 (from vaccination record) had a threefold higher risk
for parental report of autism diagnosis compared to boys not vaccinated
as neonates during that same time period. Nonwhite boys bore a greater
risk.”
• Immunological findings in autism.
“The
immunopathogenesis of autism is presented schematically in Fig. 1.
Two main immune dysfunctions in autism are immune regulation involving
pro-inflammatory cytokines and autoimmunity. Mercury and an infectious
agent like the measles virus are currently two main candidate
environmental triggers for immune dysfunction in autism.”
Aluminum Studies:
• Do aluminum vaccine adjuvants contribute to the rising prevalence of autism?
“Our
results show that: (i) children from countries with the highest
ASD prevalence appear to have the highest exposure to Al from vaccines;
(ii) the increase in exposure to Al adjuvants significantly correlates
with the increase in ASD prevalence in the United States observed over
the last two decades; and (iii) a significant correlation exists between
the amounts of Al administered to preschool children and the current
prevalence of ASD in seven Western countries, particularly at 3-4 months
of age.”
• Aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration.
“…A
second series of experiments was conducted on mice injected with
six doses of aluminum hydroxide. Behavioural analyses in these mice
revealed significant impairments in a number of motor functions as well
as diminished spatial memory capacity.”
• Aluminum Vaccine Adjuvants: Are they Safe?
Experimental
research, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to
induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In
particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity,
long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications
and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences.

• Aluminum-Induced Entropy in Biological Systems: Implications for Neurological Disease.
• Mechanisms of aluminum adjuvant toxicity and autoimmunity in pediatric populations.
• Aluminum adjuvant linked to Gulf War illness induces motor neuron death in mice.
The
findings suggest a possible role for the aluminum adjuvant in some
neurological features associated with GWI and possibly an additional
role for the combination of adjuvants (Synergistic Toxicity).
• Aluminum in the central nervous system (CNS): toxicity in humans and animals, vaccine adjuvants, and autoimmunity.
• Biopersistence and brain translocation of aluminum adjuvants of vaccines.
“We
previously showed that poorly biodegradable aluminum-coated particles
injected into muscle are promptly phagocytosed in muscle and the
draining lymph nodes, and can disseminate within phagocytic cells
throughout the body and slowly accumulate in brain. This strongly
suggests that long-term adjuvant biopersistence within phagocytic cells
is a prerequisite for slow brain translocation and delayed
neurotoxicity.”
• Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (Shoenfeld’s syndrome): clinical and immunological spectrum.
“The
activation of the immune system by adjuvants, a desirable effect, could
trigger manifestations of autoimmunity or autoimmune disease. Recently,
a new syndrome was introduced, autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced
by adjuvants (ASIA), that includes postvaccination phenomena,
macrophagic myofasciitis, Gulf War syndrome and siliconosis. This
syndrome is characterized by nonspecific and specific manifestations of
autoimmune disease. The main substances associated with ASIA are
squalene (Gulf War syndrome), aluminum hydroxide (postvaccination
phenomena, macrophagic myofasciitis) and silicone with siliconosis.
Mineral oil, guaiacol and iodine gadital are also associated with ASIA.”
• Long-term Persistence of Vaccine-Derived Aluminum Hydroxide is Associated with Chronic Cognitive Dysfunction.
• Long-term follow-up of cognitive dysfunction in patients with aluminum hydroxideinduced macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF).
Thimerosal studies:
• Integrating experimental (in vitro and in vivo) neurotoxicity studies of low-dose thimerosal relevant to vaccines.
There
is a need to interpret neurotoxic studies to help deal with
uncertainties surrounding pregnant mothers, newborns and young children
who must receive repeated doses of Thimerosal-containing vaccines
(TCVs).
Information
extracted from studies indicates that: (a) activity of low doses
of Thimerosal against isolated human and animal brain cells was found in
all studies and is consistent with Hg neurotoxicity; (b) the neurotoxic
effect of ethylmercury has not been studied with co-occurring
adjuvant-Al in TCVs; (c) animal studies have shown that exposure to
Thimerosal-Hg can lead to accumulation of inorganic Hg in brain, and
that (d) doses relevant to TCV exposure possess the potential to affect
human neuro-development.
• Neurodevelopmental disorders following thimerosal-containing childhood immunizations: a follow-up analysis.
“The
present study provides additional epidemiological evidence
supporting previous epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence
that administration of thimerosal-containing vaccines in the United
States resulted in a significant number of children developing NDs.”
• Neonatal administration of thimerosal causes persistent changes in mu opioid receptors in the rat brain.
“These
data document that exposure to thimerosal during early postnatal
life produces lasting alterations in the densities of brain opioid
receptors along with other neuropathological changes, which may disturb
brain development.”
• Persistent
behavioural impairments and alterations of brain dopamine system after
early postnatal administration of thimerosal in rats.
“These
data document that early postnatal THIM administration causes
lasting neurobehavioral impairments and neurochemical alterations in the
brain, dependent on dose and sex. If similar changes occur in
THIM/mercurial-exposed children, they could contribute do
neurodevelopmental disorders.”
• Maternal
Thimerosal Exposure Results in Aberrant Cerebellar Oxidative Stress,
Thyroid Hormone Metabolism, and Motor Behaviour in Rat Pups; Sex- and
Strain-Dependent Effects.
“Thimerisol
exposure also resulted in a significant increase in cerebellar
levels of the oxidative stress marker 3-nitrotyrosine… This coincided
with an increased (47.0%) expression of a gene negatively regulated by
T3… Our data thus demonstrate a negative neurodevelopmental impact of
perinatal thimerisol exposure.”
• Administration
of thimerosal to infant rats increases overflow of glutamate and
aspartate in the prefrontal cortex: protective role
of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate.
Thimerosal,
a mercury-containing vaccine preservative, is a suspected factor in the
etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. We previously showed that its
administration to infant rats causes behavioral, neurochemical
and neuropathological abnormalities similar to those present in autism.
Flu Vaccine during Pregnancy:
• Influenza Vaccination during Pregnancy.
The
ACIP’s recommendation of influenza vaccination during pregnancy is
not supported by citations in its own policy paper or in current medical
literature. Considering the potential risks of maternal and fetal
mercury exposure, the administration of thimerosal during pregnancy is
both unjustified and unwise. Also, take note of the 71 references at the
end of this study.
