Why I Won't Vax Home I Don't Trust Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest No Liability The Vaccine Inserts Inadequate Safety Testing Ingredients The Risks Outweigh The Benefit Unvaxxed are Healthier Decline in Illness Prior to Vaccines Vaccine Failure & Shedding Autism Vaccines Dont Cause Autism Vaccines Do Cause Autism Search Results A few years ago I started to have vaccine safety concerns. Since then, I have spent hundreds of hours searching to find The Truth About Vaccines. I have collected studies, news articles, videos, information from our regulatory agencies and big pharma and I have put it all together in one place. I hope to help others learn the truth & explain Why I Won't Vax. WHY I'M HERE As someone who has worked in the healthcare industry for my entire adult life, I have always believed that vaccines were safe and effective. I received all of my vaccinations and my daughter received all of hers. When I had my son, 13 years later, I started to have questions about the necessity of giving our little ones so many vaccines at such a young age. I wondered if kids really needed to be vaccinated against chicken pox. I had the chicken pox as a child and from what I could remember it seemed to be pretty harmless. I wondered why it was so important for babies to receive a vaccination against Hepatitis B, that we give it to them on their first day of life. I knew that babies weren't at risk of Hepatitis B infection unless their mothers were Hep B positive. I wondered about the necessity of so many vaccines but I never validated these thoughts by asking questions or looking into them further. I believed that there was no way to really find honest answers around the topic of vaccinating, because any information that I would find would be biased one way or the other. So I pushed those questions to the back of my mind and I continued to follow the guidance of my government regulatory agencies and my doctors. When I was pregnant with my son I was given the Rhogam shot called Rhophylac® due to having Rh- blood type. No one ever told me that the warnings on the package insert included things like, “Rhophylac® is made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents, e.g., viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent, that can cause disease” or, “such products can still potentially transmit disease. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products” or, “as reported in the literature, some patients treated with Rh0(D) immune globulin (anti-D) developed clinically compromising anemia, acute renal insufficiency, and, very rarely, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and death“. At the same time I was also given a vaccine for Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis called Boostrix. This vaccine is only authorized for use in people age 10+. To determine the safety in pregnant women there was one study done using the non US formulation of Boostrix. In this study they gave half of the pregnant women Boostrix and half got a saline placebo. AN ACTUAL SALINE PLACEBO! Except once the babies in the placebo group were born they were also given Boostrix (again Boostrix is only authorized for children ages 10 and up). Researchers then compared the outcomes of babies who's mothers received Boostrix while pregnant with the babies who received Boostrix after delivery. Since the outcomes were similar in both groups it was determined Boostrix was safe to give during pregnancy and is now given to every pregnant woman routinely. I did not know this at the time and I did not know to ask. I did not know to read the vaccine insert before allowing myself and my unborn child to be exposed to vaccines. If I would have known I would have saw that right in the 38 page vaccine insert it states side effects such as, “Convulsions (with and without fever), encephalitis, facial palsy, loss of consciousness, paresthesia”. I would have seen that none of the safety studies were ever truly testing Boostrix against an actual placebo. Or that the longest follow up period looking for adverse events was 6 months. If I would have known I might have made a different choice. In fact, if I would have known I absolutely WOULD have made a different choice. My son was born August 8, 2018. Within hours of being born he was vaccinated with the Hepatitis B vaccine. The package insert states that, “In 36 clinical studies, a total of 13,495 doses of ENGERIX-B were administered to 5,071 healthy adults and children who were initially seronegative for hepatitis B markers, and healthy neonates. All subjects were monitored for 4 days post-administration.” They monitored subjects for 4 days. Take a moment to think about that. 4 DAYS. Also, how many of these subjects were born just a few hours before receiving the vaccine? The post marketing surveillance lists side effects such as, “Herpes zoster, meningitis, Encephalitis; encephalopathy; migraine; multiple sclerosis; neuritis; neuropathy including hypoesthesia, paresthesia, Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bell’s palsy; optic neuritis; paralysis; paresis; seizures; syncope; transverse myelitis.“ In a quick review of the FDA licensing documents I was unable to find any real information regarding the safety studies done prior to approval of this vaccine for use in babies on their first day of life. However, I was able to find a study while searching PubMed* that shows boys who are vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine within the first month of life have a three fold higher risk of autism than boys who are not vaccinated until after one month. Why in the world would we not wait? Two months later, I received a flu shot. I normally never got the flu shot but this year I did. I was told it was the best way to protect my new baby, by forming a cocoon around him so-to-speak. Once again, had I read the package insert I would have seen that it stated, “It is not known whether Fluzone Quadrivalent is excreted in human milk. Data are not available to assess the effects of Fluzone Quadrivalent on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Fluzone Quadrivalent and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Fluzone Quadrivalent or from the underlying maternal condition. For preventive vaccines, the underlying maternal condition is susceptibility to the disease prevented by the vaccine”. I was never told about any risks or lack of safety studies done on receiving this vaccine while breastfeeding. I was only encouraged to take it. A week later my son received 5 more vaccines. He was seen in urgent care 4 times following that visit and finally diagnosed as failure to thrive by the Emergency Room doctor at Children’s Hospital. A week later, 5 more vaccinations. He stopped eating, stopped sleeping, stopped gaining weight, and screamed non-stop. After that we decided to do a delayed vaccination schedule. Only doing one vaccine at each well-child visit. Our doctor was not supportive of this and we were forced to find a new doctor. After every vaccine he would scream inconsolably for a week. But I continued to get him vaccinated as if there wasn’t another choice. He started to show developmental delays. Despite scoring 109 during a developmental assessment at two months old, well above the cutoff score of 78, he was no longer meeting milestones. A year later he received the same developmental assessment and this time he scored 62. My concerns about my son were validated when he was 19 months old. He was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, and Speech Disorder. I don’t believe that my sons life had to go this way. I believe that we were never informed about the real dangers associated with vaccinating and that if we had not vaccinated he would be healthier today. Vaccinating him is a decision I wish very much that I could take back. I believe that due to my lack of knowledge around vaccines I failed to protect my son and that he faces many struggles today that were unnecessary. I would never tell another parent what decisions to make when it comes to their kids medical care. But I do want parents to have the information before making those decisions. The information is not always biased like I thought. Most of the information I have found comes directly from the manufacturers of the products themselves, or from our regulatory agencies like the CDC and the FDA. The truth is out there you just have to know how to find it. So I decided to put all of the information I have collected into one place that’s easy for people to find and share. That is what this website is. If it helps just one parent feel more informed and empowered to speak up and ask questions about what is being given to their children then it's served it's purpose.

Everything has some risk. But when it comes to vaccines, we are only told that they are "Safe and Effective".  Even if that is true, there still has to be SOME risks associated with using them.  They can't possibly be the ONLY thing in the world without risks.  What are the risks?

One example is sunlight. It is hugely beneficial for us. It has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve mood and sleep, and it is also enables the body to make Vitamin D. However, too much sunlight along with possible other risk factors can lead to skin cancer. Every thing, regardless of the potential for good, also has the potential for bad. We decide each day which risks we are willing to take in order to receive the benefits that come with it. But when it comes to vaccines, we are only told that they are "Safe and Effective". Even if that is true, there still has to be SOME risks associated with using them. They can't possibly be the ONLY thing in the world without risks. So what are the risks? How severe are they? How common are they? Are some people more prone to risks than others? Do the benefits outweigh the risks???? From The Children's Health Defense Vaccine Injuries Ratio: One for Every 39 Vaccines Administered This article from The Children's Health Defense looks at a 2010 U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) pilot study by the Federal Agency for Health Care Research (AHCR) to test the efficiency of a state-of-the-art machine counting (AI) system on data records from the Harvard Pilgrim HMO and finds vaccine injury occur at a rate of 1 in 39.

All studies of the introduction of DTP have found increased overall mortality" Read More What is VAERS? The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, is a post-licensure vaccine safety monitoring system used in the United States. VAERS is a passive monitoring system, meaning it relies on on individuals to report adverse events following vaccination. Anyone can make a report to VAERS which can lead to over- or under-reporting. VAERS cannot assess causality between adverse events and receipt of a vaccine and it cannot calculate the incidence or prevalence of an event or determine an increased risk for an event. VAERS can be useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. It is the only national surveillance system in place to monitor post marketing safety of vaccines. HOW RELIABLE IS VAERS DATA? In a project funded by HHS, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care collected data from 715,000 patients over a 3 year period. The goal of the project was to "improve the quality of vaccination programs by improving the quality of physician adverse vaccine event detection and reporting to the national Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)". They developed a system that would automate reporting of adverse events based through electronic monitoring of medical records. During this project they also evaluated the performance of the VAERS system. They state in the report that "Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported". Although they were able to develop a way to automate reporting the CDC did not move forward with the program. From the report, "Unfortunately, there was never an opportunity to perform system performance assessments because the necessary CDC contacts were no longer available and the CDC consultants responsible for receiving data were no longer responsive to our multiple requests to proceed with testing and evaluation.

Studies Early Thimerosal Exposure and Neuropsychological Outcomes CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor: Thompson et al. (Sept. 27 issue)1 report the results of a study investigating the neuropsychological outcomes of early exposure to thimerosal. As a dissenting member of the panel of external consultants for this study, I object to the authors' conclusion that there is no causal association between thimerosal and children's brain function. The sample comprised children who were least likely to exhibit neuropsychological impairments. Specifically, children with congenital problems, those from multiple births, those of low birth weight, and those not living with their biological mother were excluded.

Not one of these studies or reviews supports the claim that vaccines injected into babies – DTaP, Hep B, Hib, PCV13, and IPV – do not cause autism. Read More BACK TO TOP

Most people have never given much thought as to how vaccines are tested. We assume they are safe & effective. Most are unaware that our regulatory agencies do not test vaccines for safety prior to licensing.

We are told they are "Safe and Effective", and so we assume they must have gone through strict testing by our regulatory agencies to assure that they in fact are. However, our regulatory agencies don't do any pre-licensing tests to determine the safety and efficacy of vaccines. They rely on the vaccine manufacturers to do their own safety studies. "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensures the safety, effectiveness, and availability of vaccines for the United States. Before the FDA licenses (approves) a vaccine, the vaccine is tested extensively by its manufacturer. FDA scientists and medical professionals carefully evaluate all the available information about the vaccine to determine its safety and effectiveness." How Are Pharmaceutical Products Tested? A placebo is defined as an innocuous or inert medication, such as saline. Using a placebo is also important as helps to determine what types of adverse events may be related to the substance being tested. It helps to distinguish between correlation or causation. If there is a statistically significant difference in the number of adverse events in the group receiving the subst ance being tested, compared to the number of adverse events in the group receiving a placebo, then there is a likelihood that the adverse events were caused by the substance being tested. The same idea would be used to check for efficacy. This type of study seems like it would be the common sense way to test a new pharmaceutical product. Surprisingly, none of the vaccines currently on the childhood immunization schedule, with the exception of the newly added Covid-19 vaccine, have ever been tested in a randomized double blind placebo study. On this page I will show each vaccine that is currently licensed and on our CDC childhood vaccine schedule, highlighti ng what was used in the control groups for each of the pre-licensing studies . I will also add articles and information regarding the lack of safety testing done on vaccines. The "Gold Standard" when it comes to testing new pharmaceuticals is a Randomized Double Blind Placebo Study. Participants are randomly selected to receive the substance being tested or a placebo. Double blind means that neither the participants, nor the researchers know which participants are receiving which substance. This study design helps protect the results from bias.

View More From The Children's Health Defense The Truth About HPV Vaccination, Part 3: Can It Prevent Cervical Cancer? There are no valid studies showing the vaccine for the human papillomavirus, or HPV, prevents cervical cancer. However, there are studies suggesting the vaccine could increase the risk of cancer. Most of the HPV’s interventional clinical trials have too short a follow-up time to draw a concrete conclusion. Lack of long-term follow-up is a common issue for most clinical trials to prove the HPV vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing cervical cancer. For example, a 2007 study found that Gardasil was effective in reducing HPV-associated cervical precancerous lesions rate by 20%. This study followed their subjects for only an average of three years after administration of the first dose. Meanwhile, the median time from CIN2/3 to transition to cancer is estimated to be 23.5 years. Read More From The Institute of Medicine Report Adverse Effects of Pertussis and Rubella Vaccines “In the course of its review, the committee encountered many gaps and limitations in knowledge bearing directly and indirectly on the safety of vaccines. These include inadequate understanding of the biologic mechanisms underlying adverse events following natural infection or immunization, insufficient or inconsistent information from case reports and case series, inadequate size or length of follow-up of many population-based epidemiologic studies, and limited capacity of existing surveillance systems of vaccine injury to provide persuasive evidence of causation. The committee found few experimental studies published in relation to the number of epidemiologic studies published. Clearly, if research capacity and accomplishment in these areas are not improved, future reviews of vaccine safety will be similarly handicapped.” SEE THE FULL REPORT HERE VARIVAX Package insert states that Varivax was tested for safety in a double blind placebo controlled study however the placebo given to the control group was actually the vaccine minus the viral component. immunogenicity followed for 10 years but safety endpoints were monitored for 6 weeks TDVAX Insert states "Data on adverse reactions following fluid and adsorbed preparations of MassBiologics’ TDVAX with various doses of the diphtheria and tetanus components have been reported in a series of studies."

You hear it all the time, "Vaccines don't cause autism". Yet for decades thousands of parents share the same story of watching their child regress into autism after vaccination. Coincidence? Or possibility? What does the science say? Why I Won't Vax Home I Don't Trust Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest No Liability The Vaccine Inserts Inadequate Safety Testing Ingredients The Risks Outweigh The Benefit Unvaxxed are Healthier Decline in Illness Prior to Vaccines Vaccine Failure & Shedding Autism Vaccines Dont Cause Autism Vaccines Do Cause Autism Search Results Autism If this is true, then why do half of autism parents believe vaccines played a roll in their child's autism? It was estimated in 2018 that 1.5 million kids have autism. That means hundreds of thousands of parents believe that vaccines played a role in their child's autism. So which is true? What studies have been done and what do they say? Its also important to understand what autism is. Many people understand that those with autism may have social issues, sensory issues, troubles regulating emotions. This is what autism looks like. But what is it on a biological level? What are the body processes that are happening behind the symptoms we see on the outside. You cannot understand whether a vaccine has the ability to manifest autism symptoms in a child without first understanding what autism is. I am not a doctor or a professional. However, I have spent hundreds of hours reading studies and articles and listening to different perspectives. I will explain from my understanding what the mechanism of autism is and share the studies our regulatory agencies, such as the CDC and HHS, have relied upon to come to their conclusion that vaccines do not cause autism. I will also share studies that claim there is a mechanism for which vaccines can cause autism in susceptible individuals. If you made it this far, thank you. Autism rates are climbing at an alarming rate. In some places in the United States as many as 1 in 18 boys have autism. We need to change course. I ask that regardless of what your opinion is to please keep an open mind and think critically when reading studies. Not every study is created equally and it is becoming more and more common to see studies being published using flawed designs to produce an intended result. You hear it all the time, "VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM". The CDC specifically states it on their website. Anyone who claims that vaccines DO cause autism is considered ignorant, a conspiracy theorist, uneducated, selfish. People talk down to them. Insult them. They say, "THE STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE". What Does The Science Say? Click below to see the evidence either supporting or opposing the claim that vaccines do not cause autism.

CDC admits they havent done a study on vaxed vs unvaxed to compare health outcomes.  The argument is that it is unethical to withhold vaccines when one exists.  A strange argument considering vaccines are withheld from those involved in the safety studies done by the manufacturers prior to licensing.  Why I Won't Vax Home I Don't Trust Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest No Liability The Vaccine Inserts Inadequate Safety Testing Ingredients The Risks Outweigh The Benefit Unvaxxed are Healthier Decline in Illness Prior to Vaccines Vaccine Failure & Shedding Autism Vaccines Dont Cause Autism Vaccines Do Cause Autism Search Results Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed, who is healthier? The CDC admits they have never conducted a study on fully vaccinated versus fully unvaccinated to compare overall health outcomes. The argument is that it would be "unethical" to withhold vaccines from individuals when a vaccine does exist. A strange argument considering vaccines are withheld from those involved in the safety studies done by the manufacturers prior to licensing. Except in these studies the individuals in the control groups are given the vaccine minus the antigen component or injections of toxic substances such as aluminum. (See Inadequate Safety Testing) . Also, the CDC has the medical records for millions of Americans that could be used to compare the health outcomes without having to withhold vaccines from anyone. They still refuse to do the study. However, studies by independant doctors and scientists have been done. Here are some of the findings. From ICAN CDC CONCEDES IT HAS NEVER CONDUCTED STUDY OF VACCINATED VS. UNVACCINATED CHILDREN On July 29, 2020, after months of false claims and objections, the CDC finally conceded that it could not find a single study comparing health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children and that it “has not conducted a study of health outcomes in vaccinated vs unvaccinated populations.” Read More From The Highwire COMPARING VACCINATED VS UNVACCINATED Dr. Stanley Plotkin is questioned under oath, about conducting a study comparing health outcomes between children receiving vaccines, and children receiving no vaccines.

Since there was essentially no child in Dr Paul's practice who was following the CDC schedule, one would have to compare these health outcomes with the going rates in America as most in the US vaccinate according to the CDC schedule.

Most of us have heard that vaccines are one of the greatest medical advancements of modern history.  It has been touted that vaccines have prevented more deaths in the last 50 years than any other advancement.  Where does this information come from?

It has been touted that vaccines have prevented more deaths in the last 50 years than any other advancement. Where does this information come from? More importantly, is it true? The erad ication of Polio is often the first example people use when discussing how essential vaccines are. Although, in the package insert for the Inactivated Polio Vaccine it states, "Prior to the introduction of inactivated poliovirus vaccines in 1955, large outbreaks of 5 poliomyelitis occurred each year in the United States (US). The annual incidence of paralytic 6 disease of 11.4 cases/ 100,000 population declined to 0.5 cases by the time oral poliovirus vaccine 7 (OPV) was introduced in 1961" , Polio peaked in 1952 with 57,879 cases and 3,145 deaths. In 1954 the number of polio cases dropped to 38,476 with 1,368 deaths. In two years polio cases dropped by 40% and deaths were down 78%. The following year a vaccine became available. One question that comes to mind for me is the question of correlation vs causation. We hear it all of the time when someone is injured after vaccination, "Correlation doesn't equal causation". So why is it that when its an adverse event we cannot determine causation, but when it is eradication of a disease we can? Is it possible that there could have been other factors contributing to the eradication of wild type poliovirus? What about other diseases that have seen dramatic declines? Polio April 1955 IPV vaccine was adopted throughout the United States Polio types 2 and 3 have been eraticated. Type one is extremely rare. We now have more cases of vaccine derived poliovirus around the world than wild strain poliovirus. Most industrialized countries use the inactivated polio virus vaccines. Since they are not "live" vaccines they do not have the risk of Vaccine-associated Paralytic Polio. However, INACTIVATED POLIOVIRUS VACCINE DOES NOT STOP TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS Measles Vaccine was introduced in 1963 Approximately 400-500 people died from measles complications annually when the vaccine was introduced. That same year, 5,058 people died from asthma 32,465 died from diabetes mellitus 6,330 died from ulcer of the stomach 1,533 died from falling or projected objects There was a 98% reduction of Measles deaths PRIOR to the vaccine introduction Numbers from the United States Office of Vital Statistics View More Mortality Rates Drop Prior to Vaccinations A study published in 2000 in Pediatrics researchers from the Department of Population and Family Health Sciences, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, The National Center for Health Statistics, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, concluded: “Thus vaccinations does not account for the impressive declines in mortality from infectious diseases seen in the first half of the twentieth century.” View More To see the listed side effects and the prelicensure safety studies check out- The Vaccine Inserts and Inadequate Safety Testing How do we explain the decline in diseases we never vaccinated against during the same time period?

Why I Won't Vax Home I Don't Trust Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest No Liability The Vaccine Inserts Inadequate Safety Testing Ingredients The Risks Outweigh The Benefit Unvaxxed are Healthier Decline in Illness Prior to Vaccines Vaccine Failure & Shedding Autism Vaccines Dont Cause Autism Vaccines Do Cause Autism Search Results This is all a part of Big Pharma's "Sick Care Model." There are better ways to stay healthy We have become so used to taking pharmacuetical products anytime we have a pain or illness that we don't think twice about the long list of side effects these products can cause. We hear about how at the time vaccines were rolled out for covid, the data showed they were the best way out of the pandemic. But this isn't true. It never was true. Why were so many people willing to give up their careers before taking it? Because even then we knew there were other effective treatment options. Treatments with things that have been around for decades. These treatments have been given billions of times in the past and had great safety profiles. We knew even then that they were also showing to be highly effective at preventing death and hospitalizations from covid. So why take a vaccine that was rolled out in record time with very little safety data, if we have options we knew were safe and effective? It didn't make sense. Just like with the covid vaccine there are other pharmaceutical products that we take regularly that we are learning are not as safe as we were told. We are now being told that acetominophen can contribute to autism if taken while pregnant. However, a search of Pubmed shows the first study linking acetominophen to autism was done in 1996. 1996! They saw a link in 1996 and the general public did not hear about this information until 25 years later! You can find that study here. So should we continue to take vaccines when we are healthy in the hopes that they prevent us from getting sick? Ive already shown that many of these vaccines do not protect us as the side effects list the illness we are vaccinating against in many cases. You can see examples here . In cases where the vaccine does show its effective we see that while decreasing incidents of one illness we have skyrocketing numbers of chronic illnesses that go along with it. Examples of this can be found here. Do we need to prevent measles or chickenpox? Im going to give some examples of alternative ways of dealing with some of these illnesses. I will also start a section of alternative methods of treating other issues we overmedicate for like depression and methods for strengthening our immune systems and bodies as a whole.

We have all been told at some point that it's important for everyone to get vaccinated in order to protect those who can't. It sounds good in theory but there are holes in this theory. Vaccine Failure, Shedding, Vaccine Derived Disease, Waning Immunity. Why I Won't Vax Home I Don't Trust Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest No Liability The Vaccine Inserts Inadequate Safety Testing Ingredients The Risks Outweigh The Benefit Unvaxxed are Healthier Decline in Illness Prior to Vaccines Vaccine Failure & Shedding Autism Vaccines Dont Cause Autism Vaccines Do Cause Autism Search Results We have all been told at some point that it's important for everyone to get vaccinated in order to protect those who can't. We are given the image of a sick, immunocompromised child and told that this child will not be able to attend school with their peers, or go out into the community unless we all get vaccinated. Only then will we reach "heard immunity", protecting the child from illness by forming a sort of cocoon of protection around them. This idea sounds great in theory. I even fell for it after having my son. I dutifully went out and got my flu shot to protect my precious new baby boy. However, there are several holes in the theory. Vaccine Failure Shedding/ Vaccine Derived Disease Waning Immunity influenza vaccine propaganda by Jeremy R. Hammond Part One: Myths and Facts about Flu Shots Part Two: How the CDC Uses Fear and Deception to Sell More Flu Vaccines Part Three: How You’re Being Lied to about the Risks of Getting a Flu Vaccine Annually Vaccine Failure View More Featured The topic of vaccine failure has become increasingly popular over the last few years. We were told that vaccines would be the only way out of the pandemic. We were told that it was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". We were told if we got vaccinated we would not get sick and that we would be protecting others from getting sick. I think it is safe to say that none of those things are true. It has a lot of people talking about what a failure these vaccines are. People rightfully feel as though they were lied to. But vaccine failure didn't start with the coivd vaccines. An article from Medical University Vienna describes vaccine failure "There are 2 major factors responsible for vaccine failures, the first is vaccine-related such as failures in vaccine attenuation, vaccination regimes or administration. The other is host-related, of which host genetics, immune status, age, health or nutritional status can be associated with primary or secondary vaccine failures. The first describes the inability to respond to primary vaccination, the latter is characterized by a loss of protection after initial effectiveness. " The article states that, "about 2-10% of healthy individuals fail to mount antibody levels to routine vaccines." Although it varies, some diseases such as measles need 95% vaccination rates in order to reach heard immunity. That means if every person that could get vaccinated did we likely still would not reach herd immunity.

Jacobson, MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics Multiple studies demonstrate that 2–10% of those immunized with two doses of measles vaccine fail to develop protective antibody levels, and that immunity can wane over time and result in infection (so-called secondary vaccine failure) when the individual is exposed to measles. In an October 2011 outbreak in Canada, over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine. Read More United States ex rel. Krahling v. Merck & Co.

MMR vaccine failure can occur because of passive antibody in the vaccine recipient, immaturity of the immune system, damaged vaccine, or other reasons. -Most adverse events reported following MMR vaccination (such as fever and rash) are attributable to the measles component. - “During the 1989 -1991 measles resurgence, incidence rates for infants were more than twice as high as those in any other age group. The mothers of many infants who developed measles were young, and their measles immunity was most often due to vaccination rather than infection with wild virus. As a result, a smaller amount of antibody was transferred across the placenta to the fetus, compared with antibody transfer from mothers who had higher antibody titers resulting from wild-virus infection. The lower quantity of antibody [in the vaccine] resulted in immunity that waned more rapidly, making infants susceptible at a younger age than in the past.” Read More The relationship between mucosal immunity, nasopharyngeal carriage, asymptomatic transmission and the resurgence of Bordetella pertussis [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] August 25, 2017 Christopher J. Gill Pejman Rohani, Donald M Thea In conclusion, the preponderance of available evidence now suggests that the list of plausible explanations for the resurgence of pertussis in the aP vaccination era goes beyond the “poor persistence” and “waning efficacy” of these vaccines to include an additional and likely pivotal factor: “lack of sterilizing mucosal immunity”. the current burden of disease is not well explained by the disease that is observed but implies asymptomatic chains of transmission; aP vaccination, or passively acquired antibodies resulting from aP vaccination, prevents symptomatic disease in animals but does not block infections; transmission readily occurs between asymptomatic aP-vaccinated but infected animals to uninfected animals in close physical proximity; Read More Fifty-one percent of cases of patients in a 1998/1999 mumps outbreak had at least one MMR vaccination, indicating their effectiveness may be overestimated. July 1, 2005 Richard Harling, Joanne M White, Mary E Ramsay, Karen F Macsween, Corry van den Bosch The observed effectiveness of any MMR vaccination adjusted for age, sex and general practice was 69%. - Two doses of vaccine were more effective (88%) than a single dose (64%).

Unfortunately, “the mumps portion of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the least effective of the three components, providing 88% effectiveness after completion of the two dose series” Read More Load More Shedding/Vaccine Derived Disease From MerckVaccines.com Re: Varivax (Chickenpox) Vaccine Due to the concern for transmission of vaccine virus, vaccine recipients should attempt to avoid, whenever possible, close association with susceptible high-risk individuals for up to 6 weeks following vaccination . .Vaccine recipients should avoid close contact with high-risk individuals susceptible to varicella due to possible risk of transmission . Varicella vaccine virus transmission may occur between vaccine recipients and contacts susceptible to varicella including healthy individuals. Other reported adverse reactions in all age groups include: varicella-like rash (injection site) and varicella-like rash (generalized). VARIVAX may establish latency of varicella zoster virus in immunocompetent individuals, with the potential for later development of herpes zoster.

FluMist® Quadrivalent (Influenza Vaccine Live, Intranasal) Intranasal Spray From The Insert Shedding Studies Shedding of vaccine viruses within 28 days of vaccination with FluMist was evaluated in (1) multi-center Study MI-CP129 which enrolled healthy individuals 6 through 59 months of age (N = 200); and (2) multi-center Study FM026 which enrolled healthy individuals 5 through 49 years of age (N = 344). In each study, nasal secretions were obtained daily for the first 7 days and every other day through either Day 25 and on Day 28 or through Day 28. In Study MI-CP129, individuals with a positive shedding sample at Day 25 or Day 28 were to have additional shedding samples collected every 7 days until culture negative on 2 consecutive samples. Results of these studies are presented in Table 5 Measles outbreak in a fully immunized secondary-school population T L Gustafson, A W Lievens, P A Brunell, R G Moellenberg, C M Buttery, L M Sehulster Serum samples from 1806 students at two secondary schools were obtained eight days after the onset of the first case. Only 4.1 percent of these students (74 of 1806) lacked detectable antibody to measles according to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and more than 99 percent had records of vaccination with live measles vaccine. We conclude that outbreaks of measles can occur in secondary schools, even when more than 99 percent of the students have been vaccinated and more than 95 percent are immune.

Stephanie B Troy, Leticia Ferreyra-Reyes, Chunhong Huang, Nadim Mahmud, Yu-Jin Lee, Sergio Canizales-Quintero, Harry Flaster, Renata Báez-Saldaña, Lourdes García-García, Yvonne Maldonado During replication, oral polio vaccine (OPV) can revert to neurovirulence and cause paralytic poliomyelitis. In individual vaccinees, it can acquire specific revertant point mutations, leading to vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). With longer replication, OPV can mutate into vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), which causes poliomyelitis outbreaks similar to those caused by wild poliovirus. Our real-time PCR assay was able to detect small amounts of OPV in both stool and sewage and to distinguish nonrevertant and revertant serotypes and demonstrated that OPV continues to circulate at least 13 weeks after a NID in a Mexican population routinely immunized with IPV.

L H de Oliveira, C J Struchiner At the present time, the only poliovirus-caused poliomyelitis cases reported in Brazil and other countries of the Americas are of vaccine etiology. Among individuals who had received oral polio vaccine (OPV) from 4 to 40 days before the onset of paralysis, we found a relative risk of 8.88 (95% CI: 4.37-18.03) for VAPP as compared with persons who had not been vaccinated during the same time interval. A major share of VAPP cases were related to children affected by prodromes (fever and gastrointestinal signs and/or symptoms), isolation of vaccine poliovirus type 2, paralysis of the lower limbs, and a mean age of 1 year.
