“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).

mercury left after post-production thimerosal removal; these amounts

have no biological effect.   JAMA 1999;282(18) and JAMA 2000;283(16).

“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)

“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”. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_1/m1373/3_49/54175530/p4/article.jhtml)

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.

Disease Proliferates in Unsanitary Conditions.

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.
