why do children need vacination when its causing brain damage to them?

The point is that everyone needs to be vaccinated. I have never been, and I am a 6'3" 3.8 GPA College Student with a 168 IQ. The main reason that people vaccinate is fear. They have done it. Their parents and grandparents have done it, and, therefore, they vaccinate their kids. There is evidence that thimerosal in vaccines can cause autism, and several other conditions. The ironic thing is that even if vaccines were necessary, they would not be necessary for everyone. There would simply have to be a high enough percentage to slow the spread of a disease so that it can be contained. In reality, though, this is not true. Statisitcs show that many of the people who are affected in were vaccinated. I would, however, discourage a quest for resolution on this one. The medical community is not at all willing to take this issue seriously and you are just going to be getting a lot of sheep mad. Good luck though. It is a serious issue.

Schools are responsible for so much, and the liability is huge.  Of course parents are smart to keep their kids home if they know they're sick.  Why would you send your child to school sick?  They'd be miserable.  If you saw how rapidly things spread in a classroom, on a bus, or in any public setting like that, you might wish for the days of quarantines.  Too bad schools have to educate parents on how to act in what should be a clear situation.

The chicken pox is a disease that when I was a kid  parents would and try and exposed their kids  to it.. If you haven't had it when your a kid and get it when your are your an adult it could kill you.  Chicken Pox its like having Poison Ivy, really itchy.  They just came out with the vaccination not to long ago.  Its supposed to make you immune to it that you will not get it.

There are a number of disadvantages of vaccines which affect its effectiveness.\n\n \n1. Side effects – Side effects occur from all types of vaccines. These side effects can range from mild reactions, redness and swelling at the site of the injection, to severe reactions like arthritis and brain damage.\n2. Ease of use – Most of the vaccinations used today to prevent disease must be injected into the person’s bloodstream. This procedure must be carried out by trained healthcare professionals. The use of healthcare professionals makes vaccines an expensive procedure and therefore unsuitable for use in the third world. One exception to this is the Oral Polio Vaccine, which is popular in the Third World as well as developed countries because of its ease of administration.\n3. Immunity does not develop in response to a vaccine.- This occurs most commonly after the BCG in certain countries and races. The BCG provides little or no protection to the Negro population against tuberculosis. For this reason it is not widely used outside Europe.\n4. Parents who have their children vaccinated assume that their children are then protected against the disease but this is not necessarily true. For example, Fife in Scotland had a 96% vaccination density but was afflicted by a measles epidemic in 1991/1992. It is generally considered that once an area has a 95%+ vaccination density, an epidemic will not occur.\n5. Vaccinated children who develop measles from the wild strain may not be diagnosed with measles since they do not show the typical signs and symptoms of measles.\n6. Vaccines run the risk of recombination with related wild strains or vaccine strains. The possible consequences and results of this are unknown to date.\n7. Despite a high degree of hygiene, it is impossible to rule out the risk of contamination of vaccines. Animal cells may be contained in the vaccines and these could rearrange our genetic makeup. Also other diseases may contaminate the vaccines causing serious consequences.\n8. The body may develop tolerance to antigens using the same principle seen in the treatment of hay fever and asthma. To treat these, the patient is injected with small amounts of the allergen (pollen etc.) in order to weaken the effect of the allergen.

It reduces the risk of viral infections, some of which can be life-threatening, such as Hep B, Mumps, measles, rubella, chickenpox, and influenza.  This is especially important for children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses that decrease the normal immune response to disease.  \n\nThe cons are few, mostly side effects from the vaccine, in most cases minor local inflammation or flulike symptoms, and in even rarer cases, allergic reaction to the vaccine.

Vaccinations are poison being willfully injected into your body. While you may not get chicken pox when you are young, you have to get a booster because the artificial immunity from a vaccine doesn't last for a lifetime like natural immunity from getting the disease. Chicken pox in children is mostly an annoyance. If you wait to get it until adulthood, you can have very serious problems that may even lead to death.

You need at least 2 doses of the vaccine. If your shot record doesn't show 2, I would go get an MMR just to be safe. The people contracting it are those that are not immunized. A good lesson for those parents that think immunizations are not necessary or are harmful.

Yes, I do believe there is something to the MMR link with autism. My son has autism,and I refuse immunizations, he has never received them, so I don't believe it is the sole cause of it. Some of the things you heard here are wrong. The flu shot still has thimerasol in it. While immunizations are no longer MANUFACTURED using thimerasol, it does still exist. Not only did we send thimerasol-tainted immunizations to other countries to spread autism there, we do still have it here. If you don't check with your dr., or request thimerasol-free immunizations, you still run the risk of dumping mercury into your child. The idea that all these studies 'prove' that there's no link? First, these are people who stand to lose a great deal of money by admitting a link to autism, both because of the law suits from families who have been injured by the shots, and to the people like me who will then refuse the shots simply because once you're lied to your not as likely to go back and trust again. Second, the reports that are saying there is a link, are coming from people who are in a position to conduct these kinds of tests because they were affected by autism, and want answers. I trust them more than I do a profession who used to tell patients with asthma and bronchitis to SMOKE. Now, we know better. How do we know in 30 years, after study upon study, they finally admit to the truth. How many kids were needlessly exposed in that amount of time? Also, here's one most people don't know: There was a report written by the CDC in which they admitted that the amount of mercury being put into the shots were many times about what is considered safe. That report was then suppressed, because of the panic it would cause, and because it would show people how untrustworthy they are. People need to do the research before blindly trust a system that has continuously lied to us, and change their minds from one year to the next as to what is safe or not. Oh, and the theory that the reason why there's more cases today is because of better diagnosis? Don't believe that,either. All the cases that they are looking at to say that there is a link are kids. If the 'better dx was the case, then we would have so many adults coming forward, getting tested, and finding out they have autism. Sorry, don't fall for any of that.\n   Do we know what causes it? Not really. At the same time, we can't rule anything out, either. My belief is that they are born with a TENDENCY to develop autism when exposed to certain environmental factors, like mercury exposure. In my child's case, it was brought out when we moved.

It has to do with the material in which the vaccinating agent is carried. Some will dissove and be taken up into the body better in fat (those are the subcutaneous injections) and some in the blood (those are the intramuscular.) Some newer 'vaccinations' (gene therapy) are inhaled into the lungs, because the vaccines are intended to affect the lungs directly.

When you're given a vaccination you're actually being given a very mild infection.  For example, if you've had a tuberculosis jab then you were infected with tuberculosis but only on a very mild scale - not enough to cause you harm.\n\nThe body's in-build defense mechanism will have kicked into overdrive and created anti-bodies to fight off the infection and long after the infection has been defeated the anti-bodies remain in the blood stream.  Then at a later date if you contract the infection for real the body is much better prepared to deal with it.\n\nIn today's society where people are obsessed with cleanliness and killing every germ in sight the result is that the bodies defenses are seriously weakened against what should be pretty routing infections.  In other words, due to being over hygienic we're now far more susceptible to illnesses and diseases.\n\nThe word vaccine comes from the Latin for cow and gets it's name from Edward Jenner's research into cowpox and smallpox.  Jenner discovered vaccination when he established a link between the mild infection cowpox that many milk maids suffered from and the much more deadly smallpox.  He found that by injecting the pus from sores from the milk maids into people with smallpox that the disease could be cured.

Yes, but if they are given the proper shots before the virus reaches the brain it can be prevented. There has been one case of a girl surviving rabies she was put in a coma and treated with shots. But generally, once the virus reaches the brain, its is almost always fatal. It is rare that any human dies of rabies in the US as the vaccine to catch it before symptoms start is readily available, however in 3rd world countries such as africa it kills as many as 40,000 people a year.  The virus may remain dormant for over a year or symptoms may start in as few as 3 days.

I don't know who told you health authorities found the practice safe - IT IS NOT!\n\nHealth Authorities ARE WARNING ITS A DANGEROUS THING TO DO!\nYou run the risk of death or living as a vegetable from brain damage when you screw up.., meaning someone will have to feed you, cloth you, clean you, you cant go and hang out with friends..., you have a non existent life.\n\nDO NOT RISK IT. Other kids who practice this will tell their friends that these warnings are just to get you to stop.\n\nAny time you shut off blood flow to the brain, there is a risk of death or brain damage.

I think they are beginning to use it more.  I think one of the main reasons against using it is fear of problems caused by the vaccine versus catching a mild illness.  There was a big autism scare in regards to vaccines in England in the 70s.  It is still also relatively new.

The best place to get this answer is to ask your health care provider. They can test your child to see if he or she has the mumps immune antibodies in his or her blood. If not, then they can vaccinate.
