Goldstein, Author of Coming Through the Fog<\/em><\/p>\n<\/i> View or download a printable version (PDF)<\/span><\/a>\n <\/p>\n The Nation is under a huge vaccine debate that is heated and emotionally charged. Most people are unaware of the risks associated with vaccinations. \u00a0Research studies, scientists and doctors worldwide recognize these dangers. \u00a0Where risk of injury or death is acknowledged, it is believed to be rare and inconsequential compared to the perceived benefits to individuals and society.<\/p>\n I want to point out that I am not anti-vaccine. I vaccinated both of my children until my youngest deteriorated into autism, food allergies, systemic skin rashes, serious immune system issues, severe anxiety and 40 seizures a day from the vaccines intended to keep her healthy. This is when I started questioning and researching vaccine safety.<\/p>\n There are 4 core issues at the vaccine debate:<\/p>\n 1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are they safe? \u00a0Scientific studies and journal reports from around the world state otherwise. \u00a0These reports link certain vaccine injuries, illnesses and death to different vaccines and to the toxins which are added to the vaccines. In 2011 The US Supreme Court said that vaccines were, \u201cunavoidable unsafe.\u201d\u00a0 Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC<\/a><\/p>\n 2) The need for transparency of facts. Why is the other side not told? \u00a0The U. S mainstream media and certain governmental agencies have a media blackout on anything that contradicts the unified stance that vaccines are safe, period.<\/p>\n Topics not covered by U.S Mainstream media include:<\/p>\n Doctors are generally not educated on vaccines. \u00a0Dr. Suzanne Humphries, when asked what doctors learn in medical school about vaccines, said<\/a>: \u201cWe learn that vaccines need to be given on schedule. \u00a0We are indoctrinated with the mantra vaccines are safe and effective, neither of which are true. Doctors today are given extensive training on how to talk to hesitant parents, how to frighten them by vastly inflating the risk during natural infection, on the necessity of twisting parents arms to conform or fire them from their practice. \u00a0Doctors are trained nothing bad should be said about vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n 3) Freedom to opt out. \u00a0Why remove our right to informed consent and the choice to deny consent to vaccinate?<\/p>\n 4) Politicians introducing mandated vaccine bills and the government enforcement of mandated vaccines violate the 1st, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment to the U.S Constitution. People would be mandated to take and pay for all vaccines recommended. (The language in the vaccine Bill like SB277 in California for example states all recommended vaccines.) There are no provisions in the Bill regarding the number of vaccines recommended, when they need to administered, who will pay for the expense and currently there are approximately 200 vaccines waiting for approval.\u00a0 Politicians are asking for consequences for failure to comply. Those consequences include; excluding unvaccinated children from school, including technical schools and colleges, children that receive any support from the government would lose all supports, adults not vaccinated would be fired from employment and or fined.<\/p>\n Parents have questioned the safety of vaccines since the 1800\u2019s. \u00a0The Raggedy Ann doll became the symbol of the vaccine injury movement. \u00a0Johnny Gruelle (1880- 1938) created the doll for his daughter, Marcella (13), who died from a small pox vaccine administered at school without parental consent. \u00a0His vaccine concerns rage on because more and more children are being vaccine injured each year. Vaccine injury has been linked with seizures, asthma, autism, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, learning disabilities and other chronic illness, disability and death.<\/p>\n Below are some facts impacting the vaccine debate. \u00a0In an effort not to overwhelm you with the magnitude of this information, I touch on pharmaceutical improprieties, media-blackout and vaccine injury.\u00a0 I touch on the current Measles issue, the HPV and the MMR vaccines and give you additional points to ponder. There is an overwhelming magnitude of information. Please access some of the resources to see the big picture.<\/p>\n\n
