Must-See Video On Vaccination Dangers
Have you ever wondered why you are asked to wait at the hospital or at your doctor's office for fifteen minutes after receiving most vaccinations?
Why can't you just go on home right after receiving your shot?
The answer is this: they want to make sure that you are not the "one in a million" who will experience a lethal reaction to a vaccine.
That's right, the corporations that manufacture vaccinations and the governments and health care workers who are programmed to inject these chemicals into your body are fully aware that every once in a while, one of us will die as a direct result of receiving a vaccine.
So why are vaccinations a fixture in today's conventional health care system? Because they benefit far more people than they harm, is the standard answer from spokespeople for the three groups mentioned above.
Before you accept this statement as being an accurate one for another second of your life, I encourage you to view the following 90-minute documentary that provides critical information about vaccinations that the vast majority of people in our world have never been told.
Please share this video with everyone you know. If it prevents just one unnecessary death from a vaccine, I believe that it will have served its purpose.
Update on January 27, 2008: The full documentary is no longer available to view for free at Google Video. The makers of the video have it for sale for a modest price here:

Protect Every Child's Right To Survival
I think it is important to realize that immunizations have eradicated some very nasty diseases in the US and Canada and that the so called "herd immunity" that we have against these diseases is very important to not having devastating illnesses like polio or measles in our countries. Yes, there are risks. There are risks to many treatments of disease, both allopathic and herbal. What we have to consider is whether we would have the freedom to be outraged at the adverse affects of vaccination if we didn't live in a society free of many diseases -thanks in part to vaccines. Sanitation and education are, of course, the most important factors in disease prevention, but please do not discount the reasons for the development of these vaccines. Perhaps our efforts could be more effectively focused on developing better vaccines rather than allowing the occurrence of preventable diseases to rise once more by simply refusing to acknowledge the benefits of immunization to society as a whole.
Here is a bit of food for thought: when we try to help children in other countries one of our primary means of aid is to provide them with vaccines against the diseases that afflict them. We look at the larger benefit it will give the population of that country. Take this plea from UNICEF:
"According to UNICEF, 29,000 children die every day from preventable causes, like malaria, measles and diarrhea. It's an outrage, and it doesn't have to be that way.
We know how to save the lives of millions of children a year with an integrated package of low-cost, high-impact interventions including insecticide-treated bed-nets to fight malaria, immunizations for childhood diseases like measles and tetanus, antibiotics to cure pneumonia, and clean water to prevent diarrhea.
As part of the Millennium Development Goals, the entire world, including the United States, committed to reducing the death rate for children under five by two-thirds by 2015. Sadly, the world is not on track to meet that goal.
U.S. leadership and funding has made an enormous contribution to saving children's lives over the past two decades. But we can and must do more. In order to save children's lives, our nation needs to renew its commitment to child survival, and invest in comprehensive child survival programs that dramatically expand lifesaving services where children need them most."
Do we need better vaccines? Absolutely. But the use of vaccines has been far more beneficial than harmful throughout epidemiological history. Only through collaborative effort from all health care communities -both allopathic and alternative- can we make true progress. I expect the question to come up as to whether I will vaccinate my own children, knowing the risks involved. To this I answer with a resounding Yes, because at this point in our efforts to find solutions to disease I feel that the risks of an adverse reaction to a vaccine are far smaller than the risk of a child contracting a painful and potentially lethal illness.
This was a lengthy comment, so thank you to those of you who read it through with an open mind.
Best wishes to all of you,
Hope
The Death of YOUR child
I think a lot of people would change there minds on vaccinating there children if one of them was to die. In the comment from Hope she says "I expect the question to come up as to whether I will vaccinate my own children, knowing the risks involved. To this I answer with a resounding Yes". I am very shocked because after all the research my own mother has done I know for a fact that if I had 3 children and I vaccinated them all and the third one died I would definetly think differently to vaccinations. We might say we'll still vaccinated our children even though we know others have died from it but what happens when its YOUR CHILD! Your not just going to push it to the side and say "Oh well I guess that was the 1 in a million". I strongly think that if another child came along you would think twice.
My mother had me vaccinated until I was 9. She started doing research and realized that is was safer not to have them. Do I agree with her? I never fully understood why I never got them and never could explain it to anyone because I myself had done no research. I know I'm definetly healthier then a lot of the children I grew up with and was sick nearly half as much as they were. Now that I'm older and planning on having children of my own I'm interested. With the little information I already have I definetly would say ABSOLUTLY NOT! I would rather have my child be alive and have to be hospitalized for a few months because they catch a virus rather then take the chance that my child may die or suffer for the rest of there lives. What happens if my child is that 1 in a million? I think too many people look at it like "oh it wont happen to my child". I intend to teach my children how to stay clean and healthy. Eating properly and taking vitamins is an essential part to staying healthy.
After watching the video and the part showing the statistics becomming lower and lower every year, I believe that if we wouldn't have had introduced vaccines every year they would still be decreasing. I think its just another thing that the government created just to make us feel safer even though we were getting to that point already. Children in all parts of the world are still dieing from diseases because they are living in dirty places. The animals are aloud to sleep where the children do, and the water they have is horribly dirty and so is the air. They dont have the proper nutrition to keep there systems healthy. If they did then there country's statistics would be like the US, Canada or some place similar. The only way to make a difference there is to solve those problems first.
Spread the word...
Yes. Finally a chance to speak my mind on a topic that makes me lose sleep. (Although I forget what sleep is as my 8 month old follows the same night time schedule as your son did, Dr. Kim!!) That aside, I followed my instinct and did my research, followed by a trip to my naturopath to confirm my decision to NOT vaccinate. Personally I cannot fathom putting a variety of leathal chemicals into a tiny infant. Who decided that it was safe and encourage to "intoxicate" an eight week old anyway? How does that make sense? Why not give them chance and thrive without interfering. It simply is not natural.
How can I bring up this topic to my pregnant and/or new mom friends without sounding like a know-it-all? I'm a new mom myself, but I feel with all my being that parents should be educated on the risks of immunizations and should NOT be pressured by the MDs and health nurses to mantain a vaccination schedule. And, why did my naturopath LEGALLY have to tell me to vaccinate even though he was against it? It makes me literally sick to my stomach.
I agree with the other respondants to this topic, in that I believe my son will have a much stronger immune system and have a far better chance to fight disease on his own, without vaccines.
Thanks.
Vaccinations
What's most frustrating about the decision of whether to vaccinate or not is that a parent in the USA is trapped. Public schools will not admit children unless they've been vaccinated according to the schedule.
What are people doing who don't vaccinate, home-schooling their children? It seems like the American public education system is being increasingly tied in with mainstream medicine to the detriment of us all.
School and Vaccines
In the US we have religious and medical (though like someone else said, doctors are not eager to admit vaccines are the problem when someone has a reaction) exemptions from vaccines in all 50 states, in 18 states there is also a philosophical exemption.
You can go to this site to see if your state is one of them: http://www.909shot.com/state-site/state-exemptions.htm
It is very simple in many states to get a religious exemption, simply saying that you do not believe that God wanted you to have cells of other species in your body or that you don't believe that God intended you to not have natural childhood illnesses etc. I was told that no one has a right to ask you what religion you practice in order to have the expemption, but I have no experience with that (we have philosophical in our state). Schools count on you to not know that you can get out of vaccines, many public schools (if not all) get extra funding for each child that is vaccinated!
I am also married to a man in the military and he is able to also deny vaccines, we have learned a lot in this regard because he gets very sick from most of the vaccines and the military gives you A LOT!
I vaccinated my first three children 'on schedule' until they were done with their childhood ones (I did not know you could say no and thought that it was the best thing, I learned lots since then), my 4th child has not had a vaccine in his body ever (and is the first child I breastfed) and is by far the healthiest child I have. He has been sick 3 times in 3 years. My niece has had reactions from her vaccines and my sister has chosen to never get her a vaccine again (she is 4 and her last one was when she was 1 or so, the MMR, and she goes to preschool), in fact her very mainstream doctor told her NOT to get the chicken pox vax because he believes it is overkill.
The reason many of these vaccines were made are not for "our children's health" but very likely, I am convinced after extensive research, for big pharm's "pocket book health". "Requiring" mass vaccination is a very easy way to ensure income for your product.
There is another good video out there called "Vaccines:the risks, the choices, the benefits" with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, and is also very informative and she discusses exemptions etc. It is also on google video.
P.S. I was forwarded to this site from one of my email groups and I am very glad I found you Dr. Kim, I think this is going to be one of my favorite places to visit!
dpt vaccine
my son is 11 the school wants all children to get
the Dpt vaccine I dont want him to they said I have two weeks then he cant return to school. How do i get out of the vaccine? how can I get out with religous reasons he had vaccines as a baby. But I dont want them any more the side affects are scary!! do I need a note from an attorney for religous resons Help my doctor wont issue a clearance
thank you
Caren
I once was Pro-Vaccine -Not any more!
I once thought that Vaccines did more good than harm- however I now have a child with "static encephelopathy of unknown orign." Unknown perhaps because not one single Dr. would acknowledge or even consider the possibility that a reaction to vaccine could contribute to my daughter's situation. In fact- I was so convinced by Dr.'s- that when the time came for her scheduled vaccine- even though I resisted- I was convinvced that in Kyli's already compirmised state, and since she has the poitential to be in a hospital where she would be exposed, it would be best to keep up with her vaccine schedule. And of course she would be required to show proof of vaccines by the time she is school age- so it was suggested that it was best to stay on schedle. Oh how I wish I stuck with my gut instincts, asked more of the right questions, and was less trusting and naive.
The irony is ---WHY would any Dr. encourage more vaccines on a child already failing to thrive? Why would a Doctor be so committed to the vaccination schedule and not consider that giving a vaccine to a child in an already weakened state- that still was undiagnosed? How could that possibley be a good thing? Pediatricians are so committed to the regime of the schedule that they are not holding off on vaccines when a child is comprimised even slightly. And WHY if we are going to give vaccines so we do so in the first 3 months of the child's life. A mom has not even had a chance to learn the norms of their child to be able to read signs of a reaction---particularly new moms. Why not wait at least a year? Vaccines administered via a production line versus assessing the individualized case and need does not make sense. Children with slight fevers or just getting over a cold or illness, children with genetic conditions and or other special needs should not be vaccinated until their situation is stable and understood.
It's easy to say it is worth the risk when you feel confident that it won't be your child. Most think- oh that won't happen to me. Maybe the better question is- What if it does? I only wish I had informed myself more in stead of taking the Dr.'s word for it. If I had truly considred all the information - not just the information provided by the CDC, perhaps things would be different for Kyli. The irony is- there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the vaccine caused her problems. The most important thing I have learned is that a mother's instinct is usually right. I encourage mom's to be intuned to your inner voice, ask more questions and follow your gut.
My hope is that the medical community will consider the risks to all children, let parents know that it is not reuired- give them information from both persepctives. Too many children have been hurt already.
I am grateful to have come across the information above and plan to pass it on to anyone who might be interested.
Jodi
Do your homework! Our children are worth it!!
Too bad Hope took the time to give us "food for thought" (still feeling hungry myself) instead of taking the time to simply sit and watch the video. I was excited to receive this incredibly enlightening video, not only because it contained new information I have not come across previously in my almost 3-years of pain staking research into vaccine safety, but because I thought it was a great way to get the masses of ignorant, lazy people in our “don’t take the time to read or research anything of real value” society to absorb this incredibly important and life saving information with relatively no energy expenditure on their part. Or so I thought.
We, as parents, have an obligation to protect our children, no matter how unpopular our position may be and no matter how much pressure we feel from ill-informed people and doctors around us. The problem is that where there is no truth or accountability, there is no justice, and money is power (PERIOD). All we can do, as informed parents, is to protect our own children, and try to spread the word to a reluctant, brainwashed society of people who, at the drop of a dime, are willing to stand up and defend something that they really know nothing about, that is actually killing, harming and altering their children in ways we may never fully understand in our lifetime, yet is making millionaires out of the evil people literally willing to trade the lives of babies, children and the unconscionable pain inflicted on their families, for their fat bank accounts and fancy lifestyles. The statistics, available on the Internet - Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) - as under reported as they may be, are still cause enough NEVER to consider a vaccination safe. And as the film Dr. Kim was so kind to share, ineffective as well. “My doctor said it was best” is NO excuse for ignorance. Become an informed parent and research everything. When we know better, we do better.
Vaccines
There have some been benefits from vaccines, but there is also a lot that is very unsettling about vaccines. Vaccines contain formaldahyde, mercury, other heavy metals and toxic materials.
Do you want your child to have these materials injected into their blood?
There is link that the impurities within vaccines have been linked to learning disabilities and developmental issues in children.
I hear the benefits you're mentioning in your report of vaccines, and I think it's important to acknowledge this side of the truth on vaccines as well.
Re: Child Survival
I was wondering if you have an explanation for the epidemic of chronic disease affecting our children? I was wondering if you had an explanation of the 95% decline in mortality of measles, diptheria and pertusis before a vaccine was ever given to children? If you had a choice between your child contracting the measles or being diagnosed with autism, which would you choose? Could you answer why children that have been vaccinated against measles or mumps are not actually immune from the disease? Could you explain the difference between
polio from Gulluian Barr syndrome or spiral menegitis? Why did so many people being vaccinated against polio contract polio? How did the smallpox vaccine wipe out smallpox when statiscally only 10% percent of the world population was ever vaccinated? What reasons do you feel support the injection of hepatitis B vaccination at birth, sometimes to premature babies?
You seem so well educated on this subject, so i figured you may have some answers to these questions.
Protect every child's right to survival - by Hope
It may be Hope's sincerely held belief that "immunizations have eradicated some very nasty diseases in the US and Canada...", but this does not make it a fact.
Graphs based on official statistics from various countries showing the remarkable decline in the mortality rates from infectious diseases over the past century clearly show that about 90 to 100 percent of this decline occurred BEFORE vaccinations were introduced, and that their introduction did not make the slightest bit of difference to the decline, which simply continued as if nothing had happened.
Alfred Russell Wallace, O.M., F.R.S noted: "Vaccination is a gigantic delusion...it has never saved a single life; but it is the cause of so much disease, and so many deaths, such a vast amount of utterly needless and undeserved suffering, that it will be classed by the coming generation among the greatest errors of an ignorant and prejudiced age..."
Similarly, Dr A Kalokerinos MD, holder of the Australian Medal of Merit for 'outstanding scientific research' said in an interview for the International Vaccination Newsletter:
"When I looked into the vaccination issue further, I was shocked. I found that this whole vaccine business was indeed a gigantic hoax. Most doctors believe that vaccines are useful, but when one looks at the relevant statistics, one finds that this is not so."
Dr Herbert Shelton: "Belief in immunisation is a form of delusional insanity."
I suffered from this myself until I came across the graphs I have referred to above, about 15 years ago.
My friend Dr. med G Buchwald, Germany, whose now close to 50-year-old son still can't speak or brush his own teeth because of a smallpox vaccine he was given at the age of 18 months: "Vaccination has never protected anyone against a disease it was used against, let alone saved anyone's life. Vaccination is child abuse and a crime against humanity."
Dr Herbert Shelton: "They are as cold-blooded as any class of criminals on the whole earth. Indeed, I know of no other class of criminals who live by crippling, maiming and killing babies and children."
Though this is what we have been led to believe, vaccinations have actually got NOTHING to do with disease prevention! They are a form of chemical and biological warfare programme against civilians - in other words against us and our children.

Protect Every Child's Right To Survival - by Hope
As far as I am concerned, the best way to protect every child's right to survival, as Hope puts it, is to keep babies well clear of vaccinations.
Hope mentions UNICEF, which like the World Health Organisation is an off-shoot of the United Nations. In a 1995 interview with the International Vaccination Newsletter (IVN), Dr A Kalokerinos, holder of the Australian Medal of Merit for 'outstanding scientific research' says:
"My final conclusion after 40 years or more in this business is that the unofficial policy of the WHO and the Save the Children's Fund and almost all of those organisations is one of murder and genocide."
In this interview, Dr Kalokerinos also said: "When I looked into the vaccination issue further, I was shocked. I found that this whole vaccine business was indeed a gigantic hoax. Most doctors believe that vaccines are beneficial, but when one looks at the proper statistics one finds that this is not so."
As regards the concept of "herd immunity", this is - like everything else in connection with vaccination - junk science at its worst. It also betrays the attitude of the vaccination policy-makers who regard us as cattle at their disposal for deadly vaccination programmes at their whim. Unfortunately many people behave like cattle. As Voltaire once remarked: "People who believe absurdities commit atrocities."
For deprogramming from the insidious propaganda we are being subjected to, I recommend the "Dr Mark Randall interview on www.vaclib.org and Dr R Blaylock's eye-opening article about "The Toxic Vaccine Cover-Up" on Dr Mercola's website.
Correlation vs. Causation
I appreciate the time and effort that Hope took to share her point of view on vaccinations here in our comments section. In case there are people out there who may choose to vaccinate themselves and their children because of the points that she brought up, I would like to share a few specific thoughts on this topic.
First, I receive letters on an ongoing basis from parents who are deeply conflicted about whether they should or shouldn't vaccinate their children. I never tell them what I think they should do. I only tell them that my wife and I, after spending a great deal of time thinking about this issue, doing our research, and having lengthy discussions, decided that we would not vaccinate our children.
Second, one of the most fundamental principles that you will learn from a univeristy-level statistics course is that correlation does not imply causation. This means that just because two events seem to be related to one another does not mean that one causes the other; correlation implies that there is a relationship between two variables, nothing else.
In this case, yes, there is correlational data that indicates that there is a relationship between the widespread introduction of childhood vaccinations and a drop in the incidence rates of diseases like polio, diptheria, measles, and other health conditions that people are commonly vaccinated for. Pharmaceutical companies have used this correlational data to make many billions of dollars.
My guess is that Hope did not watch the video in this article. If she did, she would know that the incidence rates of the diseases that people are routinely vaccinated for had already dropped dramatically before the widespread introduction of vaccinations. This information appears within the first 20 minutes of the video. Pharmaceutical companies do not share this data in their brochures and literature. They show only the small window of stats that implies that their vaccinations are responsible for lowering disease rates.
If you look at the full window of available epidemiological data, it is clear that improvements in sanitation and nutrition are most likely what led to the dramatic lowering of disease rates.
With regard to the concept of "herd immunity," I do not believe that it is logical to attribute lowering of disease rates to herd immunity. In fact, I do not think that herd immunity even exists. Any benefits that can be attributed to vaccinations wear off over time - this is why "booster" shots are recommended. But how many older children and adults get their booster shots on a regular basis? The reality is that most young adults and adults are not "immune" to the diseases that they were vaccinated for when they were young children, assuming that they were vaccinated at all.
Our first child is now 19 months old. He has never been vaccinated. At this point in his life, my wife and I would much rather have him experience pertussis and suffer for three months than to give him a vaccination for pertussis. With the real thing, after about three months, his body will have developed real immunity against it. With a vaccine, if he is genetically susceptible to experiencing a severe reaction to any of the ingredients that make up the vaccine, the effects could be lethal.
Fortunately, the majority of children who receive vaccinations are not genetically susceptible to experiencing lethal reactions to them. We can never know the full range of physiological damage that these vaccines inflict upon them in the near and long term, but we do know that the majority of children survive after being vaccinated.
But based on everything that my wife and I know right now, we will bet on good hygiene and nutrition over vaccinations every time.
Vaccination
Thank you so much for the great info on this very contoversial subject. I am always happy to find new sources! I do not vaccinate my children, due to the years of research I have done on the subject, after seeing firsthand the effect on my first two children, (one almost died in my arms from his 2 year vaccines, and suffered frequent illness his first two years until I stopped having him vaccinated). My other 4 children are the healthiest kids I know, and have been spared from the dangers of any and all vaccines. I feel sorry for the children of parents who do not fully investigate both sides of this practice... they (the children) are helpless and dependant on us to make the best, most informed decisions we can for them. It is our duty to know all of the facts before taking actions that may have irreversable consequences!
Vaccine/Immunization Video
Thank you so very much for finding and sharing this awesome information. I have read many articles on the subject of immunization and this video is one of the best sources I have seen. I will share it with as many of my friends as will listen.
I wish with all my heart that I knew the dangers of immunization when my boys were little. I would never have immunized. My oldest son has mild to moderate learning disablities, possible autism and ADD which I feel were caused from the vaccines. He had an adverse reaction to one of the shots. As so many others are told, I too, was told this was normal and not to be concerned. Fortunately, I have seen great improvement in him with the aide of diet and supplements such as essential fatty acids.
Through the video I realized that my own allergies and ezcema that I have dealt with since I was a small child can probably also be attributed to myself being vaccinated.
It is a scary thought to know what the future of our society's health will be if we continue on this course. I work at a school and can not believe how many children have asthma, severe allergies and even arthris, not to mention behavioral and learning problems. It is epidemic. It is heartbreaking also, especially to realize that it is preventable.
Thanks again for your wonderful efforts to keep us informed.
I chose to nurse my daughter
I chose to nurse my daughter in lieu of vaccination. At 1 year old she has never been ill. Not a cold, flu, ear infection, sniffle.
She has even been around children who have been ill, including her 1 year old sickly formula fed cousin who has been vaccinated for everything.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I'll take my odds any day.
Nursing/No vaccinations
I also nursed, however did the first set of vaccines and really wish that I had had the courage not too. I did not do any of the 'New Ones", Chicken Pocks, Mono, etc., The funny thing is, at first my doctor was very for not over vaccinating. Now he pushes it. And he finally has his own child. I know of a little girl who needed an emergency kidney transplant when she was born. She recieved one of her Mothers. Thus she faces many drugs for her to accept that kidney. She was given every vaccine possible, due to the fact that the medical field felt that she would be very prone to anything with her weekend immunity. (We live in a small town, and there is never anything out of the normal around here). Sadly at the age of one, she recieved the one year booster. The doctor did not take her blood pressure. That is supposed to be mandatory and you will soon know why. Immeadiately after she was vaccinated she became 90% blind. That reaction, which the parents were not informed about for a long time, was due to the fact that because she had high blood pressure due to her kidney medicaton. Vaccinating with high blood pressure will cause you to go blind. Poor little thing. But she is one heck of a beautiful little girl, and one heck of a trooper.
I guess what I am trying to say is that with vaccinations we are at the mercy of, who made them, who administers them and yes being the Oh Well, if your are the one to die, many more will live.
I will not give my children ever any of the new invented vaccines, flue shots, etc. My children are 7 and 9 and we eat well, excercise, stay outside for hours and I can proudly say that my kids have never ever once yet been on an oral antibiotic. Breast milk, then later in life they smelled Wild Oregano, and to the one that said her baby did not get ill even around other sick kids while she was nursing....mine did not either!And now if they are due to being in big school, they get over it so quickly themselves, you can't even remember that they were sick. And yours will too:)
It is very frustrating being forced into things that we don't want to do. My friends all thought I was crazy I think, however their kids suffered from all the childhood issues, tonsilitis, excema, asthma, adnoids being taken out, Hyper active, being sick over and over until there was not an antibiotic that would work.
Now they are all trying more natural....
Unfortunately we still have a ton of very old Doctors out here, that are still forcing new Mom's to start feeding their kids pablum at 4 months old.........so they will sleep through the night........:(
Thank you for the Newsletter, it really is very wonderful.

vaccine reaction
My son was lucky to escape death from his first DPT shot at the tender age of 3 months. he had a 105 degree fever and a seizure about 20 minutes after that first shot. In the 20 years since then, he has endured many doctors, extensive rehabilitation, and much pain. when he was little, no-one would acknowledge what had really happened to him. I was repeadly assured that his symptoms were rare. He was eventually dxed with autism and unspecified immune dysfunction.
At that time, many of the autistic children I came to know looked nothing like Michael. Over the past 20 years, my "rare kid" has multiplied exponentially-and most young autistic kids today resemble my son.
I have also worked for a number of years in the school system as a professional tutor. sad to say, there are many bright, normal kids who suddenly undergo drastic changes, often becoming diabetic, "emotionally disturbed" depressed or bipolar shortly after entering middle school, when many booster shots and the Hep B series are mandatory in many states. Before you vaccinate, consider carefully the video above, and my son's story. Remember, rare isn't rare when it happens to you.
travel?
Thank you for this video. This has pushed me over the edge and has finalized my decision not to vaccinate my son. I do have one question I have not been able to find the answer to and hopefully some of you know: Are any vaccines required to travel to other countries? Where can I find this info? Thanks for your response!
Some links to learn about risks of travel, with and without vac.
Here is some information about various things to consider when travelling:
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/catmat-ccmtmv/index.html
Notice that some are about vaccines, and others are about preventative measures. If you want your kids to safely see the world, and they're not vaccinated, it is INCREDIBLY important that you or they do the proper research.
Here is a site for each possible illness:
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/info/index.html
You don't want your kid landlocked in Canada or the States, do you?
vaxes and international travel
There are no requirements for international travel.
The recommendations are only guidelines. Scrutiny and study of every disease (its presentation, transmission, prevalence, risk factors, what the normal course of the disease is, vitamins/home remedies to help treat, etc.) should be done for every illness you are considering a vaccination for.
Most people's reason to vaccinate is purely ignorance. I mean this in the nicest way.
The more I learned about Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies, Pertussis, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Mumps, Measles, etc...the more confident I became that my kids will be totally safe. Even if they do manage to contract one of the more common VPD's, with a correct diagnosis and the right treatment they will also be okay.
here is more info from a forum I also am active on http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=602258&highlight=international

After watching this documentary and talking to a friend of mine that didn't vaccinate her daughter I decided to stop vaccinating my son. I am still researching and I am shocked to learn how many cases I already know that are in my circle of friends or family. My father had meningitis after a vaccination when he was a child. The daughter of my friend has two half siblings and they both had severe reactions to vaccines. One of her cousins (twins) stopped talking at the age of 2 and is in a wheelchair after a vaccination. I am confused and mad... I was asking myself "now what?" What happens on the next appointment at the pediatritian? How can I argue if they don't agree or do they even have to? What are my rights (I am living in the USA)?
Here are some answers:

All the best to all of you.
legal aspects of vaccination
Thank you for the link to Dr. Mercola. Very useful. I just attended the pre-k orientation for the school my 4-year -old will be attending in the fall. To the school's credit, they did mention exemptions, but they also said that any child with an exemption would be sent home for 3 weeks if there were ANY cases of an infectious disease in the school, for which vaccines are mandatory - i.e. chicken pox, etc. So they do have ways of pressuring parents, but like another mom who posted earlier - I'll take my chances.
Thanks also to Dr. Kim for posting the video.

vaccines denial
my son received his first shot at 2 weeks and became gravely ill. i called 911 two times as he was having trouble breathing. i was reading a book with him on a pillow in my lap and he stopped breathing. my instincts told me NOT TO SLEEP until he was better. i made my husband sleep sitting up for one week with my son completey virtical to help him keep breathing. i observed him sleep every single night while the rest of the family slept. i KNEW his life depended on it.
he is now four and has had NO MORE SHOTS. if we have to go to the emergency room the first question asked is "has he had his shots?" i have learned to lie. two times now i lied and said yes. at the pediatrician i have been bullied and harrassed. thank GOD i am an ordained minister and can convincingly claim religious opposition. i stay very calm and stick to my guns, GENTLY. the last thing i want to do is get into a power struggle that could end in my son getting shots.
here is the creepy part. you will never EVER get a doctor to admit the shots are harmful. they have injected sooo many kids AND have seen them get ill or die. it's like mentally they HAVE to be against you to save their own sanity. do you really think that a doctor is ready to face the damge that has been done at their own hand? be realistic, don't fight. you can't win, the doctors are rigid because of the implications of their being DEAD WRONG about these shots. they have been seduced by $$$ to be in bed with big pharma.
present yourself as a religious freak if you have to. whatever it takes.
sincerely,

Does Age Play a Part?
I understand the bigger picture importance of vaccinations, but I am afraid to have my own children vaccinated. I have wondered if age makes a difference. Would it be safer to vaccinate my children when they are older?
Does Age Play a Part?
Dear Lisa,
Parents need to reject "the bigger picture importance of vaccinations" as supplied to them by the medical-pharmaceutical establishment via medical authorities and the media, because it is a big lie. Vaccinations have never prevented any diseases - they never have and never will - because vaccination theory is just that: a theory - one which has no foundation in reality whatsoever. It's like a parody of Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes."
Injecting vaccines into babies and infants while their immature nervous systems are developing is obviously not a good idea. Personally, I consider it criminal. A German doctor I know who lives and works in Italy decided to refuse to vaccinate children under the age of two when he became aware of the ill-health caused by the vaccines he injected into them. If parents insisted on vaccination, he would send them to another doctor. This doctor was astounded at the robust health these unvaccinated children enjoyed, compared to the chronic ill-health of those he had vaccinated. One mother was even worried that her unvaccinated son was abnormal because he had never been to a doctor, while his vaccinated playmates were constantly off to the doctor for one thing or another!
A mother of unvaccinated children in New Zealand told me that even by the age of four, her children had never seen a doctor. I heard of another New Zealand family whose older three children are vaccinated and autistic, the younger three unvaccinated and normal. Coincidence?
In 1992, the New Zealand Immunisation Awareness Society - www.ias.org.nz - surveyed the health of its members' children. The survey provided a very interesting comparison between the health of vaccinated vs that of unvaccinated children. The survey results can be accessed via this link:

Finally some "handy hints":
Parents don't need to explain or justify their decision to anybody.
Deal with doctors and other professionals politely but firmly. Doctors tend to back down quickly when they realise they are dealing with a determined (and hopefully well-informed!)parent. Remember that if you are not willing to stand up for your rights, you have no rights. Your child depends on you!
As regards vaccinations, you have no obligations toward possibly well-meaning but misguided doctors, nurses, relatives (or "to society"). Realise that the doctor who may be doing his or her utmost to pressure you into having your baby vaccinated is most likely to turn his or her back on you the moment you blame vaccinations for any misfortune your child may suffer due to the jabs. Also remember that it is you and not your doctor who will have to live with the consequences of a vaccination reaction such as a brain-injured or autistic child.
However, if you have to go to the doctor,don't anticipate problems when there may be none! There are doctors who are supportive of non-vaccinating parents. Be friendly and expect to be treated with courtesy and respect. If a doctor treats you with discourtesy, disrespect or refuses to support your decision (no matter how much he may disagree with it), look for another doctor.
If put on the spot, you may wish to resort to the following stalling tactic: Tell your doctor that you haven't quite made up your mind yet and that want to do some more research before committing yourself one way or the other. Then politely request the package inserts of all the "recommended" vaccines in order to take them home to study, because you would like to know what he/she is proposing to inject into your baby. You will need a magnifying glass to read the fine print! Look up the medical terms on google or on an on-line medical dictionary.
I understand that forms which can be handed to your doctor to sign can be downloaded from some vaccination information internet sites. These forms are a legally binding declaration to the effect that the doctor will assume complete personal responsibility for the care of your child - financially and otherwise - in the event of an adverse reaction to the vaccine resulting in vaccine damage. I have heard that doctors quickly lose interest in vaccinating a child when asked to sign such a document!
I highly recommend Dr R Mendelsohn's excellent book "How to raise a healthy child" (Random House paperback). This book covers virtually all health problems parents may come across while bringing up a child. The book also explains which health problems parents can deal with themselves - and how - and when they need to consult a doctor. It is an easy-to-read and common sense reference no parents wishing to play an active role in the health care of their child should be without.
Finally: "Nihil illegitimi carborundi!" This is "dog Latin" for "Don't let the bastards grind you down". If one is able to look beyond the misery and ugliness manufactured by the psychopaths running the show, life is truly awesome, magnificent and wonderful!
Other parent
I became convinced not to vaccinate my daughter after her father got me started on a health tangent that lead to lots of offshoots of health issues, including vaccination--Dr Mendelsohn's book being one of them. Unfortunately this happened after she had had something in the hospital that I don't remember authorizing and then her 2mo shots, before I became aware it was an issue. Her father at the time didn't want to read all the stuff I was finding or listen too much to what I had to say. He got enough to think it probably wasn't a good idea when she was a baby and as long as it didn't interfere with her going to school.
We split when she was 4 and now almost 5 years later, it has become an issue again. He thinks that she's older now and needs them, even though it is not an issue with school because I signed a religious exemption before kingergarten. I want to protect her and feel like a mama bear trying to protect my cub, but the other parent is doing this to her behind my back and then trying to hide it from me. He took her into the doctor for something else and then on "the spur of the moment" had her given 2 shots...he's not even sure which ones.
We have joint custody and are supposed to decide these major things together. I'm so angry that he didn't just tell the doctor that he needed to discuss it with me first and then he told our daughter not to tell me. I'm sending him all kinds of things like this to read, but he's almost spending more time investigating the source than the issue. Any suggestions on what one does when the other parent believes all the propaganda out there? It seems like he is the one person I cannot adequately protect her from because "he has rights too".
a comment from one of our readers
As far as I know, the only vaccine still required by some countries is the yellow fever vaccine for travellers who come from a yellow fever area.
Travel vaccination centres will recommned virtually every vaccine under the sun because that's how they make money and because they can presumably be sued if they don't recommend a vaccine against a disease the traveller later succumbs to.
The important thing to remember is that vaccines do not "boost" the immune system as is claimed, but weaken and undermine it, making the body more susceptible to infectious diseases. I get a friend to send me a homoeopathic remedy to Thailand where I live if and when the need arises.
I recommend the Think Twice Global Vaccine Institute for vaccination advice:

The Origin of AIDS Documentary...
If you really want to know how safe vaccines are, and how far the pharmaceutical industry and some on the scientific community are willing to go to deny and suppress evidence of their negligence, then watch "The Origin of AIDS" documentary. I was lucky to watch it on youtube a few weeks ago, because it's incredibly difficult to get a copy of this on dvd. You may also try http://www.aidsorigins.com/ .
