    What I’d Tell You Over Coffee If You Asked If We Vaccinate

    What I'd Tell You Over Coffee If You Asked If We Vaccinate - Mother with her precious child.

    I was asked again, recently, if we vaccinated our children.

    Before I begin, I believe in parental rights. I hope we can all respect each others choice to decide what is best for our individual children and resist the temptation to judge one another. That said, you need to realize that aborted fetuses are needed for (and their DNA are IN) vaccines.

    As a mother and RN, I’ve been researching this topic in depth for quite a while (spurred on by an adverse reaction in my first son with his first (and only) MMR back in ’91), and I have many reasons for not trusting common vaccine science.

    12 Basic Reasons For Our Decisions & the Research Behind It

    1. You really should be concerned about the toxic ingredients in vaccines.

    Injecting neurotoxins like aluminum and formaldehyde, aborted fetal cells, multiple antibiotics and various animal serums into the body is going to cause a lot more harm than even a rough week of the measles or chickenpox…. In my cost-benefit analysis, the chances of my child being harmed from vaccines is far greater than the chances of my child being harmed from one of those illnesses. Once you digest this fact, you will understand why there should be less fear about diseases and more about vaccines.

    Many moms are coming to this conclusion!

     

    2. Read the latest pilot study of unvaccinated vs. vaccinated children which found significantly higher rates of allergies, chronic diseases, ear infections and learning disabilities in those vaccinated on schedule.

    I felt this deserved a whole post, here.

    Who do you think will grow up to be healthier?

     

    3. Can someone please explain how we survived the 1980s with vaccination rates well below “herd immunity” thresholds and far fewer vaccines?

    Why didn’t everyone die?

    Here’s the data from CDC:

    What I'd Tell You Over Coffee If You Asked If We Vaccinate - CDC chart

    4. Vaccines aren’t as effective as we are told.

    Actually there is a huge failure rate. That’s why booster shots are given so often. That’s also why highly vaccinated populations show just as high rates of disease.

    5. The diseases we vaccinate for are mild and build lifelong immunity. Why risk a forever vaccine injury? 

    The immune systems of normally healthy children do the work and the diseases leave with no serious, lasting effects. An excellent natural cure is Vitamin C. Frederick Klenner, MD., observed that safe, high doses of vitamin C could quickly dry up chicken pox and cure measles, polio and hepatitis.  Vitamin C/Na Ascorbate for Whooping Cough by Suzanne Humphries, MD

    Between 2005 and 2014, there have been NO deaths from measles in the U.S. and 108 deaths from the MMR vaccine. There was 1 death in 2015 and NONE since that. (source CDC, pg 5)

     

    6. I don’t believe that vaccines played much of a role in eliminating diseases.

    History offers little evidence that vaccines are responsible for eradicating disease even when “herd immunity” vaccination levels have been reached. Most of the diseases we vaccinate for today were already on a steep decline before their respective vaccines were widely introduced.

    Before you laugh, since this may go against everything you’ve ever been taught, I’d ask you to look into this further with actual CDC statistics (see CDC Fig. 1 graph) where arrow says Passage of Vaccine Assistance Act!

    What I'd Tell You Over Coffee If You Asked If We Vaccinate. chart showing most of the diseases were already on a steep decline before their respective vaccines were widely introduced

    7. Many vaccines were designed using aborted fetal tissue as a growth medium

    No, there’s not fetal tissue in vaccines (a common misconception), there are unavoidable traces of fetal cells/foreign human DNA in many of them. I cannot support a medical practice that benefits from abortion, but no matter your views on abortion, you have to admit that there’s a flaw with this practice. NO safety studies have been done on the effects of foreign DNA in the bloodstream.

    Watch Dr. Stanley Plotkin admit fetal cell lines are IN vaccines under oath in court testimony. This man is evil and has used adopted and those they deemed not contributing to society as guinea pigs… also in people in Africa!

    8. You can vaccinate, but you can’t unvaccinate! Please look at the risks and disorders on each vaccine insert

    Adverse events are listed on the vaccine package inserts themselves if we would take the time to read them. Your doctor probably won’t show you these. Adverse events are NOT rare. That’s why the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in the USA has paid out over $3 billion in vaccine injury compensation claims. Not the one-in-a-million case as we are lead to believe.

    What I'd Tell You Over Coffee If You Asked If We Vaccinate. risks and disorders on the Hepatitis B vaccine insert

    9. Unvaccinated children pose no risk to others (it’s the other way around!)

    In an open letter to senators, immunologist Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD, states unequivocally that unvaccinated children pose no additional threat/risk to vaccinated children.

    “It is often stated that those who choose not to vaccinate their children for reasons of conscience endanger the rest of the public, and this is the rationale behind most of the legislation to end vaccine exemptions currently being considered by federal and state legislators country-wide. You should be aware that the nature of protection afforded by many modern vaccines – and that includes most of the vaccines recommended by the CDC for children – is not consistent with such a statement.”
    ~Dr. Tatyana

     

    10. If You vaccinate, you will be shedding live virus vaccines (includes the measles and chickenpox vaccine) after shots

    The Johns-Hopkins patient guide to caring for the immunocompromised once contained information warning patients to stay away from those recently vaccinated. Interestingly, it has been changed, I believe, under pressure from those who reap huge financial benefits from vaccine sales.

    Scientific evidence demonstrates that individuals vaccinated with live virus vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles and influenza can shed the virus for many weeks or months afterwards and infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.1,2 3,4,5,6,7,8,9

    Furthermore, vaccine recipients can carry diseases in the back of their throat and infect others while displaying no symptoms of disease.10,11,12

    Next time you hear someone blame unvaccinated children, please remember who is really spreading these diseases.

    11. Healthy human cells can TAKE UP foreign DNA spontaneously. Foreign human DNA will be transported into nuclei and be integrated into host genome. The effects of injecting foreign DNA (from the opposite gender) has effects that are devastating and far reaching. We don’t realize the breadth or depth of them yet, but we’re seeing some of them manifested in the chronically ill sick children in our nation.

    12. Those trying to teach about vaccine dangers have only one motivation: to prevent more suffering. We have either witnessed it first hand in our own family or know those who have.

    13. We must question what doctors and government tell us before many more children and families are harmed….(possibly yours!)

    14. All those years ago, it wasn’t too late for me to change my mind when I saw what it did to our first child, and it’s not too late for you to change your mind, either.

    If you decided to vaccinate and now regret it, you can still detox that vaccine.

    “Vaccine science is severely lacking. It is the tobacco science of our time. The current vaccine schedule (which has more than tripled since vaccine manufacturers became protected from liability) has never been tested for safety. There hasn’t been a randomized double blind placebo controlled study comparing the outcomes of the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.” ~Unknown

      Jackline, Thank you for the thoughtful, care and loving presentations of your posts. I too know firsthand about the injurious nature of vaccinations via our firstborn son who WAS autistic. We detoxed him of heavy metals and watched our child change from a head banging, non verbal, self stimulating, non-interactive toddler to one with eye-contact, then speech. He went from full blown Autism diagnosis to no spectrum issues at all in two years mostly due to biochemical intervention. We stopped vaccinating our children and untouched number three picked up mumps from what we believe was a vaccinated choir teacher. Much hysteria has been bred preying upon mothers by way of fear of not doing what is best by our children. It is indeed hard to believe I know I’ve been there, but these vaccinations are not what we want to believe they are. Gratitude and blessings upon you for taking on the difficult things gracefully and to help keep us sober. Affectionately, Diane

      This article is written with grace and love. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I am saving it on my phone for a handy, comprehensive list of concerns and data that I can share with others when this topic arises. I now believe my baby was injured by vaccines. She was diagnosed with arthritis in 1997 at the age of 16 months. Unfortunately, I was not clued in at the time, and the doctors dismissed a vaccine injury, so I continued to inject her with toxic material.

      As a mother of grown children, this is something I would dread if mine were young. 30 years ago, there was not the number of vaccines that are being pushed today. My husband was never vaccinated as a child (except for tetnus as needed) and had a bad reaction to a flu shot just a few years ago. Our children were on a much delayed, minimum vaccine schedule, and we experienced Whooping cough first hand, and survived!

      I do believe that vaccinations work (in theory) , partially based on a story I read of Ann Judson inoculating her own and native children in Burma for small pox (I don’t remember much of the details anymore, but the Burmese mothers brought Ann her children after they saw her treat her own children…)
      HOWEVER, today’s vaccines are very different with all the additives that are very dangerous to some children and I believe it should be every parent’s right to decide for their family! I appreciate this information and hope it is a help to parents!

        Just remember that the ingredients in vaccines can cause far worse reactions, even if it prevents the visible sign of the disease. It seems a lot of people forget this point. Cancer, autism, adhd, etc. So while a child may not get small pox, their future health is severely compromised. Not trying to argue or diminish your post, just something it seems many people overlook.

      Jacqueline – thank you for this post! My daughter will be a year this month and during this past year, my anxiety in regards to vaccines has been much higher than I would prefer! I have done crazy amounts of research on vaccines and am still struggling inwardly with the decisions I’m having to make! I’ve read so much on vaccine injury and am terrified that if I choose to have these vaccines given to my daughter that it will be MY fault alone if something happened because I alone made the decision to have them administered. After research, I decided to give my daughter the vaccines to the diseases that, if contracted, could have deadly outcomes. But I still am so anxious that I made the wrong choice. Thankfully she has never had a bad reaction as of yet. But as the time comes for her one year MMR shots and such I have decided that I don’t want to risk injury to her. Measles and chickenpox have nothing on autism or other serious and life-threatening issues! Inwardly I still struggle with myself – doctors and nurses and other people can practically be bullies when it comes to vaccines! Making me feel worse about my decision. But my child’s life is not worth the risk. Thank you for a post that encouraged me and made me feel more confident about the choices I’m making presently

        You might be able to get a religious/conscientious objection waiver, though many districts/organizations don’t allow those. For those cases when it is a requirement for an activity, I would suggest that you remove your child from that activity. If it is a requirement for school, I would remove your child from school and begin homeschooling (this blog has lots of resources on homeschooling), or find a private school that allows an exemption from vaccines. It is increasingly hard to live out our convictions in this day and age, even on matters of the health of our children. Even worse, those of us who have educated ourselves on this issue meet with opposition not just from the world, but also from those within Christianity who have placed their trust in doctors instead of God. I hope you can find the encouragement you need. I will pray for you and your family.

          Well, yes, that’s for sure, Judy! Doctors are taught (indoc) in institutions that are funded and underwritten (in most cases) by those vested in or tied to big pharmaceutical companies or the vaccine industry. I trained in a large complex of hospitals in a large metro area and so were many in my family. They cannot cross the line for fear of being discredited. Just think about that. There are those, however, brave souls who are standing up and telling the truth. some are quiet about it and some are more bold. check this out: https://deeprootsathome.com/doctors-truth-vaccine-safety/

      I’m on board with this topi from your prospective. Though our children were vaccinated (back in the mid 80’s) thankfully we had no serious side effects. But I’m seeing the vaccine “rate” go up and up and up! By that I mean, the amount of vaccines given to newborns and very young children has increased greatly from the days when our boys were young. It’s very saddening.

      As a former teacher, I saw more and more kids with “learning disabilities”, ADD, ADHD, etc. rise too with the advent of more vaccines. Why doesn’t anyone see this? I correct myself: People DO see this but choose to believe what the government tells them. The government in this case is fueled by Big Pharma…the guys who make the vaccines and benefit financially from them.

      If I was a young mother today, I’d hold out on vaccines as long as possible. Yes, many schools won’t let your kids attend without being vaccinated and I suppose I’d have to home school then….a resort not always possible for some families.

      Now, as a grandmother of two, currently ages 6 and 3, I pray that they will not be affected by vaccines and that their parents will take a look at possible side effects and weigh their options first. Sadly, when one parent comes from a family where someone has a medical background, they believe that “side” without thinking for themselves.

      If only Big Pharma didn’t have so much weight in our world, we might be able to change a lot of things around to a healthier, more natural approach. Sadly, I don’t see that happening anytime soon………. An example I’d like to cite is cancer treatment. Yes, there ARE other treatments out there besides, chemo, radiation and even immuno therapy. But most people choose to go that route for two reasons: 1) Their doctor (who many think are god-like!) said so! and 2) Insurance won’t pay for alternative care in most cases, thus creating a dilemma for the patient: If I choose alternative therapy, it’s all out-of-pocket expense. If I go the traditional route, at least the insurance will pay.

      Ahhh…if only, if only……..

      Great article by the way.

        There are live links all the way through and so they are not set as footnotes at the bottom of the post. I checked, and they are all live and to the correct studies.
        For example, see under #9 (Your vaccinated child(ren) will be shedding their live virus vaccines (this includes the measles and chickenpox vaccine) after their shots). There are 1 through 12 as little numbers and each is a live link. Right click and open in a new tab!

          Just having gone for physical therapy at our hospital I found personnel wearing masks and was relieved that they did not have to choose the flu shot or their jobs and had an option. It must be cumbersome especially for a treating health practitioner to wear a mask but as the mother of vaccine injured children I celebrated in what an affective statement was being made to the broad public via health care professionals especially, and their position on vaccinations. I guess that is one way to think of it. I so wish that everyone knew what I knew about vaccinations and even feel responsible to share as Jacqueline does so gracefully, but your daughter can impact others “without evening opening her mouth”.

      I understand the inclination to be concerned about this. I have spent a lot of time reading on it too.

      Some of the links you cite in no way support the points you are making. Yes, sanitation and antibiotics also contribute to improved health today, but the data clearly show in the influence of vaccines too.

      It’s completely untrue to say highly vaccinated populations show the same rate of disease as unvaccinated. When did you last know someone in the US who got polio? Smallpox? These are terribly dangerous illness that took so many lives in the past. These are major accomplishments, and clearly accomplished through use of vaccines.

      Some of the current vaccines are for less dangerous diseases, it’s true, because they attacked the worst first. But it’s also untrue that no-one dies from measles, rubella, chickenpox, etc, merely that the rates are lower.

      It’s also unrealistic to state that unvaccinated people are not a danger to those at most at risk. For instance, whooping cough is easy to pass around and not as serious for those who are older, but can most definitely be deadly for the very young. It’s a very serious illness. I know plenty of unvaccinated people who have gotten it, none who are vaccinated. It’s not impossible, but it’s much less likely – and your doctor will tell you that, there is always some remaining risk of contracting the disease. Obviously, it’s true that you must use caution after a live vaccine. Any responsible healthcare provider will tell you this. If you need to visit someone in poor health, time your vaccines accordingly. This does not negate the risk the unvaccinated population can pose to the young or otherwise vulnerable.

      The evidence for vaccine injury tends to be quite emotional and involve small sample sizes. This does not make for good research. Unfortunately, in all situations involving something as complex as the human body, there are multiple causes to the outcomes we see. Unless we are looking at large sample sizes and controlling for other issues, it’s just not strong evidence.

      I’m a homeschooler, I’m pro-life, and I’ve very seriously concerned the vaccine question. As a librarian with a scientist husband, we’ve dug into in depth. But I can’t in good conscience fail to protect my children through vaccination. I think if there was a clear, strong case to be made against it, I would have been convinced, but it’s not there.

      I’m confident your intentions are good, but I would kindly suggest trying reading some things NOT just from the anti-vaccination side and truly considering both.

        The elimination of polio was semantic, not real. Following on the heels of the release of the Salk vaccine, the government radically changed the diagnostic parameters of polio, automatically eliminating 90% of subsequent diagnoses – literally 30,000 cases a year we were then told, and are still led to believe, were prevented by the vaccine. That’s not disease eradication, that’s a parlour trick, a con game. The CDC controls public perception with the point of a pen.

        My vaccinated child caught whooping cough. The pediatrician did not diagnose it as such because he still had antibodies in his system. He had it but because he had the vaccine they refused to recognize it.

      Jacqueline, I find this post to be helpful and well-done. As pointed out, the vaccine question is very serious. How is it, though, we can hear absolute RANTS about “my choice”, yet when it comes to vaccinating “MY children”, “MY choice” is dismissed? (Rhetorical question.) There was a series recently offered on-line, “The Truth About Vaccines”. Those who choose to deny the truth would question the science behind the presentation. The series was very well researched and presented in an intelligent manner.

      I find it interesting that it is usually those who are not dealing with a vaccine-damaged child dismiss the real–not just emotional–physical damage done to the child. Perhaps the small sample size is a result of many adverse vaccine reactions having been dismissed and/or under-reported.

      For those parents who want to run the risk of vaccine damage to their children and have their children vaccinated, fine. But for those who chose not to vaccinate, please allow those parents THEIR choice, too. If vaccines do what we are told they do–protect the vaccinated person from disease–then there should be no worry on the part of the parents who have vaccinated their children. An unvaccinated child cannot possibly harm/cause disease to a fully vaccinated child. But that’s IF the vaccines work.

      Jacqueline, I thank you for this post. It is very thought-provoking. God bless you!

        The concern is that unvaccinated people cause risk to those who cannot yet be vaccinated (the very young) and those with compromised immune systems. I don’t think there’s any doubt about the risks for these groups. If you choose to not be vaccinated, you are choosing to increase the risk of spreading these diseases to those who are naturally more at risk and can’t be protected. For instance, part of why we have chosen to do most vaccines is to protect my elderly grandmother and others in her nursing home.

        My biggest concern with all of this is that people are making decisions on very poor information. I don’t think anyone would dismiss the terrible stress of having a sick child. There simply is not solid data to back up the claims of those who advocate not vaccinating. There are stories, and they can be compelling. The real evidence is not there.* If your doctor proposed a course of treatment to you based on some stories and not real data, you would probably be outraged.* However, people read some things on the internet and make significant decisions based on very limited information. Some of the doctors, etc., presenting this information are making good money doing so – I’m sure we can all think of some popular websites with this kind of information. They have a financial interest in keeping you reading and keeping you upset.

        My hope in this area, and really in all areas we can learn about, is that people would learn better information literacy. Be sure what you are reading is true. Be sure that the claims presented are back up by real data that is relevant. Especially when dealing with big, important decisions, do not be swayed by emotions, but analyze carefully. Our kids are worth the effort.

          Jennifer, if you are concerned about the elderly and the very young, you may want to continue reading. It is not just FluMist and there are doctors that still use FluMist.
          “Pooled shedding data of all four influenza virus (sub)types examined in this study showed presymptomatic shedding on the day preceeding symptom onset in 30% of participants providing samples on that day.” http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0051653

          Besides, shedding, there are big downsides to flu vaccines (listed below). Despite that, the CDC recommends it: “The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all Americans six months of age or older get a flu shot every year throughout life. The CDC states that babies between six and eight months old should receive two doses of influenza vaccine one month apart.
          “Reported moderate reactions to influenza vaccine include fever, local reactions (pain, redness, swelling at the site of the injection), headache, fatigue, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, joint and muscle pain, and nausea. Reported serious complications include brain inflammation, convulsions, Bell’s palsy, limb paralysis, neuropathy, shock, wheezing/asthma and other breathing problems. Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a disabling neurological disorder that involves temporary or permanent paralysis that can lead to death and has been causally related to influenza vaccinations.”

          I hope this helps…

        Hi, Jennifer!
        Here are several that cover shedding with the influenza virus:
        http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0051653

        and from the FDA FluMist package insert: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM294307.pdf

        See 5.4 “Altered Immunocompetence
        FluMist Quadrivalent has not been studied in immunocompromised persons. The effectiveness of FluMist
        has not been studied in immunocompromised persons. Data on safety and shedding of vaccine virus after
        administration of FluMist in immunocompromised persons are limited to 173 persons with HIV infection
        and 10 mild to moderately immunocompromised children and adolescents with cancer [see Clinical
        Pharmacology (12.2)].

        This is really terrible b/c it states it HAS NOT been studied in immunocompromised people!

        So while you are reading the FluMist package insert, check out these adverse reactions:
        6.2 Postmarketing Experience
        The following events have been spontaneously reported during post approval use of FluMist:
        Cardiac disorders: Pericarditis
        Congenital, familial, and genetic disorders: Exacerbation of symptoms of mitochondrial
        encephalomyopathy (Leigh syndrome)
        Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
        Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylactic reaction, facial edema, and
        urticaria)
        Nervous system disorders: Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, meningitis, eosinophilic meningitis,
        vaccine-associated encephalitis

        I hope I am answering your question, and thanks for asking!
        Blessings,

          So to be clear then, it’s only FluMist, which from what our doctor is telling us this year is no longer thought to be effective, and thus they are no longer offering it. The regular flu shot is not a shedding risk.

          Also only live vaccines shed. So if it is not the flu mist and the actual shot than it does not shed. Only the flu most will shed. Because it is a live vaccine. The shot version is not a live vaccine so it does not shed.

            Hi, Nicol,

            Read “The Johns-Hopkins patient guide to caring for the immuno-compromised once contained information warning patients to stay away from those recently vaccinated. Interestingly, it has been changed, I believe, under pressure from those who reap huge financial benefits from vaccine sales.

            Scientific evidence demonstrates that individuals vaccinated with live virus vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles and influenza can shed the virus for many weeks or months afterwards and infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.1,2 3,4,5,6,7,8,9

            Furthermore, vaccine recipients can carry diseases in the back of their throat and infect others while displaying no symptoms of disease.10,11,12

            Next time you hear someone blame unvaccinated children, please remember who is really spreading these diseases.”

            Did you read the data in the links of studies in this post and see the page that warning immunocompromised patients to stay away from those recently vaccinated?

            Also, there are comments her that reference their bad experience with this topic for their immunocompromised child.

            Sincerely,
            J

      Great article. The graphs you provided supposedly regarding disease incidence, however – don’t. They speak to mortality, which is perhaps even more poignant, because as the death rates precipitously declined, the infectious illnesses morphed into the mild, immune system strengthening bouts you so aptly described. I host a weekly show, The Vaccine Myth: An Issue of Trust, and would love to interview you, Jacqueline. You can email me at [email protected] if you’re interested. Thanks.

      My Grandson Larry Paul died 12-6-16. He is an SUDC child. That stands for Sudden Unexplained Death of a Child. It’s not a diagnosis but a category of death. We believe his death was caused by the DTaP shot he received. He was 14 months old and out of the age range for SIDS so they call it SUDC. I did find another death listed on the VAERS database, another little boy who was 13 months old and had received the same shot, same manufacturer, same lot naumber. I am having further testing done on the autopsy samples to see if we can learn more about the babies death. I appreciated your article, it is factual and well written.

      Jennifer, my kid was one of those immuno-compromised ones that vaccinated kids are supposed to be making safer… I was actually instructed by doctors to avoid kids that were recently vaccinated because of the risk of shedding. While she was on chemo I only let her be around people/kids that hadn’t been vaccinated in recent months. I have another friend who has a child that will be on immunosuppressants for life and her son’s rheumatologist told her to not let anyone in her family get any live vaccines. Just saying… Can’t really use the “make other kids safer” excuse with a good chunk of vaccines.

      This is a great article, and lists many of the reasons we chose not to vaccinate our children. You mentioned vitamin C as a natural cure for many diseases; an additional one is tetanus. Thank you so much for such a well written explanation of why so many parents are choosing not to vaccinate – it’s certainly not because we are ignorant people who believe in psuedo-science, or worse yet, are child abusers, as so many pro-vaxxers and pharmaceutical companies would have you believe. (In fact, I have found over and over again, with the vaccination decision as well as many others, that by and large, the people who choose differently than the majority have done much more extensive research on the topic than the people who go along with the status quo. We are most definitely not making the decision to not vaccinate out of ignorance.)

      When we were starting our family back in early 80’s , I being compulsive researcher, decided home birth was best for us. 1 st encounter with a pediatrician he started right on vaccines. He kept at it…We, at the time were at ORU in Tulsa , my husband decided to go to get his law degree. The was a medical school there to so I went to the medical library to research vaccines. No Google back then.What I found was shocking! No way were our kids going be subject to those toxic ingredients.I’ve never stopped my research, and I’ve sounded the alarm every chance I get. Dr.s get get kick backs from big Pharma if they have a % of the clients vaccinated. The lying stats on injuries, the phony trial results, the CDC’s incestuous relationship with vaccine makers. It is a 5 billion $ enterprise for the CDC. There is a lot of voices speaking out now, thank God, some are being pulled back from the brink of disaster!
