Re: Debating the future of mandatory vaccination

Being a parent of a young child, I am very concerned that this thought is being entertained. How is it right to force any medical procedure on people? What happens to human rights in a case like this? All medical professionals say that "the science is settled" when it comes to vaccines - but it's not. Vaccines seem to be causing more and more harm and yet medical professionals continue to turn a blind eye to it, purely because the vaccine manufacturers have told them they're safe and they are not held accountable if something goes wrong - what incentive to they have to manufacture a safe vaccine? No amount of money could ever bring a vaccine damaged child back and the families that are affected by this are ruined forever, all in the name of billions of ££'s for pharmaceutical companies. All parents want to do is raise, happy, healthy children.

It is also known that vaccinated children shed diseases AND get them - proving that vaccines are not effective and can be dangerous. Someone who is unvaccinated or immunocompromised is more likely to get the disease from someone who has recently been vaccinated, than someone who is unvaccinated. Diseases had declined by around 90% before vaccines had been introduced, due to hygiene and sanitation - yet everyone thinks it was the miracle work of vaccines. There is a lot of fear-mongering around Measles - you never hear anything about Mumps or Rubella and yet this vaccine continues to be given as a 3-in-1. Why not do a safe, single measles vaccine? Complications from measles arise from a Vitamin A deficiency - surely Doctors should know this and educate patients/parents on upping their Vitamin A levels? Most outbreaks of measles are among the vaccinated population - yet this doesn't get reported in the news. Why is that?

Having read a lot of information regarding vaccines, there are many peer-review studies on the dangers of vaccines and these too continue to be ignored by medical professionals. I urge you to read Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies by Neil Z. Miller. There are over 400 peer-review studies showing the dangers of vaccines. No one should turn around and say there are no studies - because there are & they're available online to read.

The ingredients in these vaccines are very questionable and it really does boggle the mind how this can even be allowed to be injected into anyone, let alone a tiny little baby. Quite frankly I don't know how these people sleep at night.

The fact that vaccines have never been safety tested against a proper placebo control group should be illegal. Using an aluminum containing placebo in the studies cannot be justified and underestimates the true rate of adverse vaccine reactions. Where are the vaccinated vs unvaccinated studies? Nations with the highest prevalence of ASD require their children to receive the highest quantities of aluminum from vaccines. Surely this is something that cannot be ignored & swept under the carpet? Who will take care of these children when their parents die? At least one of both of the parents will have to stop work - putting huge strains on the benefits & medical systems. The NHS is constantly going on about how it is struggling and making vaccines mandatory will make this even worse. The knock on effect will be catastrophic. Children just continue to get sicker and sicker and sicker the more the vaccine schedules increase. I had 4 vaccines when I was a baby - today's children get around 51 doses in total. How is it that I am still alive and not riddled with disease at the age of 40? I'm pretty sure this applies to most of you reading this. With most of us having had around 4 vaccines or less (of which the so-called "protection" wanes around 2 - 10 years) this would mean that probably around 50% of the population are actually "not protected" - so much for that 95% herd immunity mentality isn't it? How come we aren't all covered in rashes or suffering from whooping cough or some other disease?

Parents should have the right to choose if they want to vaccinate or not - after being informed of ALL the possible side effects, given a list of the vaccine ingredients as well as the vaccine insert. After all, our children belong to us and we have their best interests at heart...unlike the pharmaceutical companies who continue to make billions while sacrificing young, innocent children. Governments and Doctor's need to start listening to the parents - we know our children the best. Why is it that the thousands and thousands of marches taking place across Italy, Poland and Germany with regards to mandatory vaccinations are not being reported in the news? People KNOW that vaccines are dangerous and have seen the devastation first hand and yet are being ignored and it is still being forced upon them. It's time to open your ears and take notice of what's going on and stop ignoring parents and pretending they don't know anything. Lives are more important than money and shame on you if you think otherwise!
