Law on Flu Vaccinations May Be Tested

nitajo sumitted ago via http://www.nytimes.com (Views: 134, Clicks: 7)  View Story

New Jersey, the first state in the nation to require flu shots for young schoolchildren, set a Dec. 31 deadline for parents to obtain flu vaccinations for their children. It was part of a new policy requiring a total of four additional immunizations for schoolchildren over the objections of some parents who worry about possible risks from vaccinations.

I heartily applaud those parents who are standing up to this ridiculous law. The influenza vaccine never had a placebo controlled clinical study prior to being approved and circulated. This is supposed to be the "gold standard" of medicine. No clinical study has ever shown flu shots to be effective. In fact, specific studies involving the age group of 2 mos to 6 yrs showed clearly it was ineffective, as did the recent studies using an elderly population. And yet, it is recommended daily in these age groups. Why? $$$$
The most commonly administered flu shots contain formaldehyde (a carcinogen) and methyl mercury (a known neurotoxin), and the others contain aluminum, also very toxic to many body systems. The problem is that the FDA as well as the EPA are asleep at the wheel, while drug companies are profiting at the expense of innocent people.
Parents and doctors both need to be dubious of vaccines. There is too much corruption in the system. We need to stop pretending that all children are the same and and can be given the same things. We also need to stop pretending that vaccines are perfect and as safe as can be. There are many adverse reactions to vaccinations. Visit the National Vaccine Information Center and research VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). Many children suffer from seizures, brain injury, autoimmune disorders, allergic reactions, and autism as a result of vaccine injury. It should ALWAYS be each parents right to decide on what to put in their children's bodies. And to those who say unvaccinated children put their own children at risk: If the vaccine actually works, what are you so afraid of? The answer is it doesn't work, and it's potentially dangerous. It's all about lining the pockets of doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

We totally think the immunizations are good for children. IF you look at the good against the potential harm, there is a huge advantage to having immunizations.
All our grands have had their "shots".
This year, I even got the shingles vaccination. Have you had that? It is such a horrible thing to get, so painful. I am hoping I can prevent that. -- Anne, medical family
