Why Some Parents Oppose Mandatory Childhood Vaccination

Why do some parents choose not to vaccinate their children?

The human immune system is complex, dynamic and dependant on multiple variables. It is activated by becoming sick, that is by coming into contact with various pathogens. A newborn’s immature immune system is highly dependent on its mother’s, and if the baby receives some of its mother’s colostrum, the first milk, extremely rich in antibodies, often referred to as the natural vaccine, and continues to breastfeed, it will be protected against all things the mother is immune to. It is extremely rare for breastfed babies to become sick with any of the childhood diseases they are meant to receive vaccination for in the first year.

The vaccine ingredients can be particularly worrisome. Some of them include mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, neomycin, proteins of animal and human origin, etc. Some of these are neurotoxins, and allergens. Not every mandatory vaccination supporting doctor is familiar with vaccine ingredients or wants to know exactly what they are injecting into their patients. But they might still tell you how, by choosing not to vaccinate, you are putting others at risk of infection by endangering herd immunity. Even if herd immunity could be achieved by vaccinating the majority, how will mass vaccination ever prevent disease being carried and spread via people’s noses, throats, intestines, skin? And how will it ever prevent other living things we are in constant contact with from carrying and spreading such infections? And if the non-vaccinated can infect the vaccinated how exactly are vaccines protecting us?

Why do you believe vaccines are dangerous?

Vaccines are proven to be dangerous; the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System would not exist otherwise. In case of vaccine injury, pharmaceutical companies are protected from taking responsibility in almost all countries. The responsibility is passed down to the government and if it accepts that the injury was caused by the vaccine, compensation is paid out of taxpayers’ money.

While multiple studies seem to deny any correlation of MMR, for example, to autism, increased rates of autism, and many auto-immune diseases and other conditions seem to coincide with the introduction of mandatory vaccination and unnecessary overstimulation of the immune system. 

The reduction and eradication of some diseases, often attributed to the introduction of vaccines also coincide with changes in human education, behavior, diet, hygiene habits, etc.  There are in fact no studies or clinical trials published that compare the health outcomes of the vaccinated vs the non-vaccinated. No trials were conducted because vaccines have always been believed to be safe, despite plenty of scientific evidence to the contrary. Also most vaccine trials exclude the more susceptible and vulnerable groups, leading to under-reporting of adverse effects.

READ Vaccinations: What You Really Need To Know

With all this information and more available out there, and modern parents being less prone to rely on information provided by the media or the government, it is not surprising that the anti-vaccine movement is gaining in strength and the forces that wish to crush it are employing more and more draconian measures. The most important question to ask is who benefits by there being no opposition to mandatory vaccination? To make up your mind, or to make a decision, do your own research, and beware of the quacks on both sides.
