There are a growing number of parents who are making the choice not to vaccinate, and with that comes a growing amount of criticism on our behalf. I wanted to post a few common misconceptions that go along with being an unvaccinated child.
Myth: An unvaccinated child will automatically get the disease its not vaccinated against.
Fact: This is probably the biggest misconception. Unvaccinated children are at no more risk for being exposed to a disease than a vaccinated child is. The diseases do not go looking for children who are unvaccinated and single them out. You're either exposed to the disease or you're not, whether your vax'd or not vax'd.
Myth: Unvaccinated children cannot attend daycare or school.
Fact: parents can check with their state's vaccination exemption policy and fill out an exemption form for religious or philosophical exemption. Children cannot be denied access to a public school for being unvaccinated if the exemption form is filled out.
Myth: An Unvaccinated child puts a vaccinated child at risk when they are exposed to each other.
Fact: A non-vaccinated child cannot put vaccinated children at risk if the vaccines are effective.
Myth: an unvaccinated child who catches the disease will get extremely ill and probably die or have life long side effects from the disease.
Fact: an unvaccinated child will develop a life long natural immunity against the disease (and even immunities for future biological children if it's a girl who catches the disease), as compared to the temporary immunity from a vaccine that doesn't protect the child in adulthood, when the diseases are more likely to cause a serious reaction such as pneumonia and male sterility.
Myth: Un-vaccinated children are the only ones who are vulnerable to catching the disease if exposed.
Fact: Vaccinated children are just as at risk for catching the disease as unvaccinated children are. Take a look at past breakouts where over half of the people infected are in fact 100% fully vaccinated.
I also wanted to post a few things I read in an article written by Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D and has some great facts and information about vaccines.
• The death rate from measles fell more than 95 percent before
mass measles vaccination began in the U.S. The same occurred in
Great Britain.
• Whooping cough death rates were falling before mass
vaccination programs began — by an eye-popping 75 percent in
both countries.
• The death rate from the polio scourge was falling — well before
the polio vaccine was introduced
Why were the death rates from these childhood diseases falling so rapidly? Pro-vaccine elements — the government and big pharma — take credit for that decline in death rates, but the truth is simpler: Better nutrition and sanitation, especially in big cities, account for most of the improvement in death statistics. This information has been noted in health literature but has been widely ignored
*Many vaccines, especially tetanus and DtaP, which is three vaccines mixed to immunize against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, increase the risk of children developing asthma, eczema and even juvenile diabetes, which are autoimmune-related diseases. Asthma rates continue to climb, and it parallels the growing number of vaccines being given to children. Likewise, mercury has been proven to induce autoimmune diseases in genetically susceptible people.
*If you ask doctors why we have not had an epidemic of diphtheria or tetanus in the last 60 years, they would quickly reply "herd immunity." Yet the largest segment of the population, the baby boomers, has not been immunized against childhood diseases since they were small children. That means that roughly half of the U.S. population has been without vaccine protection for these diseases for 50 years! In essence, this nation has been without herd immunity protection for half a century, yet there has not been one mass outbreak of
deadly childhood diseases. For more than a century, the Amish in this country have not vaccinated their children at all, and there has been no record of the wholesale deaths of Amish children. Believe me, you would have heard about it.
*Even more startling is the finding that when small outbreaks of whopping cough and measles do occur, the majority of affected children are found to have been vaccinated. In the 1986 Kansas whooping cough outbreak, 90 percent of the affected children had been fully vaccinated. In the 1994 outbreak in Ohio, 82 percent had been vaccinated, and 74 percent of kids had their shots in the 1996 Vermont outbreak. I personally had whooping cough as a child after being given the vaccine that was supposed to prevent it. This means that the majority of infections occur in fully vaccinated kids, not in those who have not been vaccinated. It also confirms that the herd immunity idea is a myth, since even the vaccinated children are not being protected.
The truth is, experts know their vaccines are not giving most children protection, so blaming unvaccinated children for outbreaks gives them an excuse. In fact, several of the vaccines are associated with an increased incidence of the very diseases they were designed to prevent. For example, the rubella vaccine was supposed to prevent physical birth defects in infants born to women infected during pregnancy with the rubella virus, commonly called German measles. Incredibly, the number of cases of congenital rubella malformations increased after the vaccine was introduced in 1969. In 1966, for example, there were 11 cases reported nationwide and 10 cases in 1967, before the vaccine program started. One year after the mass vaccination of pregnant women began, the incidence increased to 77 cases — a 600 percent increase. The incidence has
remained high ever since.
Vaccination for measles simply shifted the incidence of infection to newborns and small babies, a time of life when health complications and the chances of death are greatly increased. The idea of sick newborns then gave pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics a new set of horror stories to justify forced vaccination programs, all the while never admitting that the vaccine program itself caused the problem to begin with. When young girls catch measles naturally, they in turn are able to pass this immune protection on to their babies when they are older, both by antibody transfer through the placenta and by way of breast milk after giving birth. Vaccination with MMR prevents girls from getting the measles, and it also keeps their immunity from being transferred to their future children, who are then born utterly unprotected.

Private Study Links Vaccinations to Neurological Disorders
This is originally from Feb 2008. A private study was done with over 17,000 children...
Please take the time to read this entire article. I will post the end results, however it really helps to understand these results if you read the entire article:
http://www.naturalnews.com/022642.html
Results Summary
Vaccinated boys:
* Neurological disorder, RR = 2.55 (155% more likely to have neurological disorder than unvaccinated boys)
* ADHD, RR = 3.24 (224% more likely to have ADHD than unvaccinated boys)
* Autism, RR = 1.61 (61% more likely to have autism than unvaccinated boys)
Vaccinated boys ages 11-17:
* Neurological disorder, RR = 2.58 (158% more likely to have neurological disorder than unvaccinated boys)
* ADHD, RR = 4.17 (317% more likely to have ADHD than unvaccinated boys)
* Autism, RR = 2.12 (112% more likely to have autism than unvaccinated boys)
The study notes that older children are more likely to have been diagnosed with a neurological disorder, because such diagnoses are often missed in younger children. Therefore, this is likely the more accurate figure.
All vaccinated boys and girls were 120% more likely to have asthma than unvaccinated children (RR = 2.20).

Appalling! Vaccine schedule then and now!
There are even more vaccines mandated now then what is presented here on the chart. NJ just added 4 more, making it the biggest vax'ing state in the US.
History of vaccines...a few facts.
Just a few facts, taken from "The Sanctity of Human Blood".
http://www.amazon.com/Sanctity-Human-Blood-Vaccination-Immunization/dp/1929487037
Did you know ...
... infectious diseases were over 90% resolved by the time vaccines came onto the market?
...there are now 33 vaccines that are mandated by the time your child is 6 years old? and 40 by age 16?
...that before 1991 there was no system in place for reporting adverse vaccine reactions whatsoever?
...that only one country in Europe still has mandated DPT shots, whereas the US still requires 4 separate doses?
... 43% of Gulf War veterans experienced side effects to vaccines?
... 80,000 Gulf War vets have permanent medical conditions as a result of vaccinations?
... that vaccination is not immunization?
... that Hepatitis B vaccine was outlawed in France after 15,000 citizens filed a class action suit against the government?
...that vaccines do not have to be proven safe and effective in order to be added to the list of mandated shots for American children?
...the the mercury in most vaccines is dozens of times in excess of EPA safe levels?
.. that there are many new vaccines in the pipeline trying to get FDA approval so they can be tacked onto the mandated schedule?
... that vaccination is a multi-billion dollar industry in the US?
... that the US Congress has recently discovered rampant conflict of interest between the FDA and the vaccine manufacturers?
... that in the past 20 years, autism has gone from being almost completely unknown to an epidemic that now affects as many as one in every 150 American children?
... that the drug companies are not required to prove that vaccines will not cause cancer, and that no testing for carcinogenicity is even done before a vaccine is approved?
... that all states but two have very simple exemption forms by which a parent can choose to fore go all vaccines for the child?
Here's some more info, taken from http://www.whale.to/vaccines/shea1.html
True natural immunity happens only after one recovers from the disease itself. With the actual disease, the microorganism had to pass through many of the body's natural immune defense systems in the nose, throat, lungs, and digestive tract before it ever gets as far as the bloodstream.. It's very likely that the microorganism triggers many biological events that are essential in building true natural immunity, about which doctors know little or nothing. When a child gets a new disease, he may feel sick for several days, but in the vast majority of cases he will recover.
The first vaccines by Jenner, Pasteur and Koch, and also most modern ones, are experimental proteins made from rotting, diseased samples of animal tissue (cows, sheep, monkeys, humans, and horses) carrying some "weakened" infectious agent. Others are toxins (poisonous by-products of microorganisms) that are neutralized by formaldehyde and aluminum.
Most vaccines have components like formaldehyde, aluminum, and mercury which are called adjuvants, or helpers.(PDR, 2001) Formaldehyde is a carcinogenic liquid, used for embalming. Mercury is added in the form of thimerosal, a preservative known to cause nerve damage, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Aluminum is a proven neurotoxin, positively associated with Alzheimer's and several other neurological disorders. Can we really get immunity from these concoctions?

Are vaccines effective? Not even close!

Next, the statistics (just to name a few, there are many, many more.):
One point I wanted to put out there, when you hear about how "deadly" these diseases are, you have to realize the statistics are taken world wide, with 95% of those cases occurring in underdeveloped countries with poor sanitation and no clean drinking water. These same children are dying from simple illnesses, starvation and dehydration as well. So basically, only 5% of cases are reported between the entire North American Continent, Most of developed Europe and Australia (along with other developed countries too).

- In 2007, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the flu vaccine had “no or low effectiveness” against influenza or influenza-like illness. The analysis of data showed that the vaccine protected from zero to fourteen percent of vaccine participants

Are there really benefits to not vaxing? You Betcha!
The benefits of non vaxing are vast. A very little known fact is that a lot of doctors/pediatricians are unvaccinated or selectively vaccinated themselves and so are their children.
My Pediatrician, actually delays and selectively vaccinates herself. She is 100% supportive of my decision not to vax. She has even asked me for advice about the subject, that speaks in volumes to me.
In this blog, I'm going to explain some of the wonderful benefits of being unvaccinated, and how vaccinating does a lot more harm than good to the natural function of our bodies.
Here's the wonderful thing about our bodies. They were created to fight off disease naturally, create a natural immunity in return, and then become bigger and stronger, ready to fight against the next disease! Here's where vaccines come in and disrupt our bodies natural function. Lets take Measles for example. When a little girl catches measles naturally, her body not only creates a lifelong immunity for herself to never catch that disease again, but it also creates a temporary immunity for her future babies, that lasts 12 months and even longer if breastfeeding. What happens when we vaccinate against measles is, we are preventing girls from catching this disease naturally (rather, they are catching it artificially, which does not have the same effect), and we are preventing her body from making these crucial anti-bodies for her future babies. Did you know that a baby is most at risk of having a serious reaction from a disease before the age of 12 months? This is because the immune system is not fully developed until after the first year. So if the baby is not getting those natural anti-bodies from mom, then how is she protected during that first year? In case you didn't notice, the MMR is not administered until after 12 months, so the baby is left extremely vulnerable.
So if a baby is most vulnerable during the first 12 months, then why are they being vaxed for the MMR after 12 months? Also, a baby who is being vaccinated against other diseases is also not protected those either during the first year, since it takes many doses for a vaccine to be considered "effective". Most doses take a year or longer to be considered "effective" by the Pharma companies standards.
To make a long story short...Babies under 12 months are most vulnerable to having a serious reaction to a disease (and that's any illness, not just the ones vax's protect against). Breastfeeding for a year greatly reduces your baby's chances of getting sick or having a serious reaction, that is one reason why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends nursing for at least one year. Once your baby's immune system is developed, they are actually really good at fighting off disease. Childhood is the perfect time for a child to catch a disease because this is the time when their immune system is the strongest. In return, they will not only be lifelong immune, but have a stronger immune system that will last them into adulthood, another crucial time in one person's life. By vaxing against these diseases in childhood, we are putting them off until adulthood, a time when there are serious side effects from the diseases because our immune systems weaken over time, especially if we are not used to being sick in childhood (like i mentioned, getting sick naturally strengthens us!). If we don't get sick in childhood, we cant strengthen our immune systems. If we cant strengthen our immune systems, we face more serious reactions as adults when the temporary "immunity" wears off of vaccines. Its rather quite simple, get sick to get healthy! That's how our bodies work!

Better health and sanitation behind reduction disease deaths?
It's the truth! Vaccines were not introduced until well after deaths from diseases were already on the dramatic decline! Better health and sanitation, and no more over crowding in big cities was indeed the main reason deaths from diseases weren't happening as often anymore. After vaccines were introduced (specifically the whooping cough vaccine, pertussis), cases actually rose, in other words, despite pharma companies proclaiming they were eliminating the disease, they were actually causing more cases to happen. Here are a few charts to prove that death rates were already on the HUGE decline, BEFORE vaccines were introduced... (taken from http://www.healthsentinel.com/graphs.php?id=14&event=graphs_print_list_item)
**if for some reason the entire graph is not showing up, click on the image to open up a new window and the whole picture will show up for you.**
Lets take a look at another graph. This time, a cancer statistic graph. Some of the ingredients in vaccines are highly cancerous. Even doctors will tell you some of the ingredients are very cancerous (although they will say there is a "safe" amount of these cancer causing agents in vaccines even though in a lot of cases the amount of the ingredient exceeds the "safe" amount.). The increase in cancer can be due to chemicals being added to our environment and food as well. Unfortunately when a vaccine is injected into your baby's blood stream there is not a filter yet developed, so these cancer causing ingredients can go straight to the baby's brain.

The ABC's of vaccines...Ingredients list
First off, start with ABC: Always Be Concerned! Question everything that is being put into your baby's body. That includes medication as well. When I had Elijah, I thought vaccines were 100% safe ( that's what my doctor told me). I thought vaccines were 100% effective (again, my doctor reassured me they worked). I also thought vaccines protected against deadly diseases (the media and doctors both proclaim we are vaccinating against diseases that will kill our children or seriously hurt them if contracted). All of these statements are untrue.
Please take a look at this website with vaccine ingredients: http://www.informedchoice.info/cocktail.html
I will highlight some of the main ingredients in vaccines for you, they include, but are definitely not limited to: formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, thimerosal (mercury), monosodium L-glutamate (MSG), monkey kidney cells, cow serum, hydrolized gelatin, chick embryonic fluid, human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue, rhesus monkey fetal lung cells, vesicle fluid from calf skins, guinea pig embryo cells, albumin from human blood, aspartame, phenol, and polydimethylsiloxane (silicone).

Saving the world...one informed reader at a time!
This day and age, there are so many "quick fixes", yet we aren't questioning whether these quick fixes are safe and effective, and if they really are fixing anything or making the problem worse. My name is Katie and I am a mother to 3 beautiful children. My first born is a victim of a vaccine related injury, and he was the reason that I started doing research in the first place. His story is all too well known and becoming more and more common, especially with the aggressive vaccine schedule with more vaccines being added every year. I hope, that with you reading this blog right now, you will get the information you need to make an informed decision not to vaccinate, and to trust your babies body to do what nature meant for it to do.
