Are Vaccines Safe and
Effective?

Know the facts before you get
injected, your life may depend on it.
“If the smallpox vaccine was given today 50 million
Americans would be at risk for injury or death if they
are exposed to the live vaccinia virus either directly
by getting vaccinated or by coming into contact with
someone who has been recently.” (Barbara Loe
Fisher Director of the National Vaccine Information
Center).
Many diseases are linked to
vaccines. And sometimes you can transmit
these diseases to other people.

*This product should be considered
equivalent to thimerosal-free
products.This vaccine may contain
trace amounts (<0.3 mcg) of
mercury left after post-production
thimerosal removal; these amounts
have no biological effect. JAMA

“In 1798, Dr.Edward Jenner, observed that milkmaids were resistant to smallpox. Most of the
milkmaids Jenner studied had been infected with cowpox in the course of their occupation.
Cowpox and smallpox are related viruses. Milkmaids were exposed to a weakened version of
the pox virus, which gave them immunity to the more virulent smallpox. Dr. Edward Jenner’s
observation of milkmaids paved the way to a safer smallpox vaccine using fluid from cowpox
lesions. (http://www.umanitoba.ca/manitoban/20020116/features_6.shtml)

always work.

“Contrary to popular belief smallpox was not eradicated by mass vaccination. Though tried
initially it proved difficult to implement in many countries and was abandoned in favor of
surveillance-containment. This involved trained workers searching for cases, with rewards for
those who found them. Cases and their contacts were then isolated; contacts were
vaccinated.” “The last natural case occurred in Somalia in 1977 and after exhaustive
enquiries the 1980 WHO Assembly concluded that smallpox had been eradicated.”
(Baxby, Derrick. March 1999.“The End of Smallpox”.

Typical Allergic Reactions from the
DPT vaccine:
Moderate Reaction
Estimated Statistics
Non Stop Crying for 3 + hours
100 out of every 10,000
Fever 105 or higher
30 out of every 10,000
Seizure Jerking
6 out of every 10,000
Child becomes limp pale or less alert.
6 out of every 10,000
Severe Reaction
Severe allergic reaction (breathing difficulty or
shock)
Unknown
Severe brain reaction (long seizure, coma or lower
consciousness.)
1/310,000 to as high as 1/175 to children
who completed the series
The National Vaccine Information Center
estimates that only 10% of vaccine
reactions get reported.
Politics and Vaccines = Big $$
“Immunization Initiative”
Each Fully Vaccinated Child = $100
This equals $400 Million to the States.

If you do decide to get vaccinated,
ask yourself these questions:



1-Am I sick right now?
2-Have I had a bad reaction to a vaccination before?
3-Do I have family history of:
–




Vaccine reactions
Convulsions or neurological disorders
Severe allergies
Immune system disorders
4-Do I know if I am at high risk of reacting?
5-Do I have full information on the vaccine's side effects?
6-Do I know how to identify a vaccine reaction?
*From the National Vaccine Information Center.
But it is the Law, I have to get
vaccinated.
