If your head is spinning over the great vaccinate debate, you’re not alone. Not only does each new story seem to contradict the last, the politicos and pundits themselves have been on both sides of the argument over the years. Seems there’s no one source that can be relied on for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
 

There are the Alex Jones (Info Wars), conspiracy types, who claim that every government-sponsored immunization program is a deliberate plot by the feds to “dumb down the host population” ~
 

When it comes to the mainstream media, it’s parents who opt out of vaccinating their children that deserve to be demonized ~

But when individuals selfishly refuse to vaccinate their children, seeking a free ride on the rest of the herd, immunity breaks down and innocents are put at risk.

The medical profession isn’t in agreement on the issue either. We hear from one well-known doctor who believes there should be ~

“No ‘Philosophical’ or ‘Religious’ Exemptions for Vaccinations” ~ Dr. Ben Carson

Yet another says:

“I’m a Big Fan’ of Vaccines, But They Can Cause ‘Mental Disorders” ~ Sen. Rand Paul

 
Is the truth somewhere in the middle? Well, let’s start with a couple key facts.
 
First of all, vaccinations are not a panacea; none are 100% effective. More than 10% of those contracting measles at Disneyland had been specifically vaccinated against the illness.
 
Second, measles is not a “killer” disease ~

 
• As that Info Wars’ video states: between 2005 and 2014, 108 deaths were attributed to the MMR vaccine; 0 deaths were attributed to measles.
 

• The current global mortality rate for measles is 0.00328%.

 
So the vaccination pushers seem to have picked an odd disease to crusade against.
 

Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) posted the following video about the Disneyland Measles outbreak – and subsequent media hysteria – on January 28th.
 
It’s well worth listening to a reasonable voice – without an agenda – presenting factual information about vaccinating. It’s mandatory listening if you’re a parent making critical decisions about your child’s health.

What makes the entire vac debate really interesting is the Big Pharma connection. (Yep, follow the money.) Brian Shilhavy at Vaccine Impact wonders Why is the Mainstream Media Ignoring Measles Vaccine Fraud Cases? ~

Unfortunately, one topic in the discussion about measles vaccines that the mainstream media is completely ignoring is the fact that whistleblowers have come forward to reveal massive fraud connected with the current measles vaccine.
 
(Vaccine manufacturer) Merck has been involved in a long federal lawsuit with allegations of fraud over the mumps portion of the MMR vaccine, in a case filed back in 2010 by two whistleblowers, virologists who worked for Merck. Merck has apparently tried hard to get this case thrown out of court, and keep this news out of the media, but late in 2014 a federal judge finally ruled that the case is to move forward […]

 

The scientists claim Merck defrauded the U.S. government by causing it to purchase an estimated four million doses of mislabeled and misbranded MMR vaccine per year for at least a decade, and helped ignite two recent mumps outbreaks that the allegedly ineffective vaccine was intended to prevent in the first place […]

 
Instead of reporting the news on MMR fraud claims made by whistlelowers, what you will find in the mainstream media are TV doctors, reporters, and news anchors vilifying parents who refuse to accept the claims made by medical authorities regarding a vaccine associated with alleged massive fraud and conflict of interest.

Furthermore, as Fisher has explained elsewhere, “vaccines are the only pharmaceutical products that government mandates and completely indemnifies.”
 
 
Last week the New American reported on others, including medical doctor Sherri Tenpenny, who are asking questions about this whole issue of vaccine manufacturers’ immunity ~

Tenpenny recalls that she was drawn into the debate years ago when she realized that “tens of thousands have been injured and have died as a result of vaccinations.” Among associated health problems are autism, sudden infant death syndrome, allergies, juvenile diabetes, and childhood arthritis.
 
Yet Vaccines.gov claims, “Vaccines are some of the safest medical products available.” If this is the case, “why does our federal government protect vaccine manufacturers from product liability lawsuits?” MaryJo Perry, co-director of Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights, asks this question in USA Today. She notes that taxpayers have been funding the U.S. Health and Human Services Administration’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program since 1989 to the tune of $3 billion paid to victims of these “safest” of medical products.

 
So not only are the feds being less than honest about immunization risks, they’re using our tax dollars to pay off those who are adversely affected by vaccinations – while holding the manufacturers harmless!

Simply put, the evidence and history show that the vaccine makers have been given total liability protection for injuries and deaths caused by government-mandated vaccines. Vaccine safety is not “settled science,” as we have been hearing repeatedly in the media. To the contrary, for purposes of the law, vaccines are considered sometimes unsafe, even deadly.

And then there’s our prevaricator-in-chief…
On NBC’s “Today” show last week, Barack Obama announced that the science about vaccines is indisputable, urging parents to get their children vaccinated ~

“We’ve looked at this again and again. There is every reason to get vaccinated, but there aren’t reasons to not,” he said.

😯 This from the guy who said ‘If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It.’
Um, yeah.

You know which vaccination I could get behind 100%? The one that automatically prevents all progressives from lying. In fact I’d volunteer to administer that one!

Dr. Michael Elice M.D. – Media Promoting Medical Harm to Our Children ~

I am not advocating that vaccines be discontinued. I am advocating that doctors and patients become aware of the ingredients of these vaccines, what they can potentially do to affect an adverse outcome in an immunologically compromised child. Adverse reactions to MMR and other vaccines have been reported in numerous clinical trials and studies. I am advocating that medical practitioners and researchers, not journalists, address the real medical epidemics of autism, asthma, GI disease and autoimmune diseases facing our society and people around the world.
 
Stop hyping the safety of MMR vaccines which may actually be more dangerous than live measles and may be ineffective in preventing the illness which they are so anxious to report as a dangerous epidemic itself. Let’s stop believing that the mainstream media is telling us the truth when all they are doing is shutting down any intelligent and open discussion about vaccine safety and how to improve it.
