by Barbara Loe Fisher It is no wonder parents in New Jersey are protesting in the streets in opposition to a mandate by the state health department that all children entering daycare and school have to get an annual flu shot. The mandating of the notoriously ineffective and risky influenza vaccine is turning out to be one vaccine too many for parents. Rightfully, they are calling for scientific ev

You can get a vaccination for meningitis, HPV, polio, smallpox, measles, mumps, pertussis and many other diseases. The idea is that by getting a shot with a "watered down" version of a virus or bacteria, your body will attack it, kill it and store the information for later; therefore, if you pick something up again, the body will immediately respond by attacking it before cellular damage occurs. B

Early in September, we were all treated to glowing reports about the high childhood vaccination rates in the U.S. The ABC News/HealthDay lead was typical: “The vast majority of American children are getting their recommended vaccinations, federal health officials said Thursday.” But just a few weeks later, the Medical Industrial Complex was fretting that not enough [...]

Vaccinations are important, even for indoor pets. Some diseases are airborne or can be acquired by contact with fecal matter that might be brought into your house on your street shoes. Diseases that affect pets are present in the environment, and some diseases can spread to humans.Any animal that goes outdoors should be vaccinated annually for rabies. This includes ferrets and bunnies. If you have

I feel like such a rebel. The British Medical Journal recently featured an editorial, Improving uptake of MMR vaccine. As the title suggests, this article tries to isolate the reasons why some parents choose not to vaccinate and how to change this disturbing (in the authors’ opinions) trend. Part of me really emphasizes with the pediatricians [...]

The hepatitis B vaccine is in the news this week as a French lawsuit raises concerns regarding the association between the vaccine and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In 1998 the vaccine was curtailed from routine use in France amid rising concerns of significant risk of the vaccine precipitating multiple sclerosis. The best available research on the subject was published in 2004 in the journal Neurology. That study was a prospective, well done project that showed a 310% increase in MS among people who received the hepatitis B vaccination! ..

Dr. Mark Nesselson, a New York pediatrician who conspired with families to get their children into school without state-mandated vaccinations, has been fined $10,000 and told he can practice only under supervision. Dr. Nesselson admitted to falsifying forms for four children in two families, and later admitted that he had done the same for a handful of other families over the years. The parents of his patients, who knew Nesselson was falsifying the forms, were concerned about the potential adverse health effects of vaccines. Nesselson began to question the safety of vaccines in the 1990’s, after seeing many autistic children whose parents said that the onset of the disorder coincided with vaccinations. Nesselson’s actions were discovered after he moved to Hawaii two years ago and gave medical records to his patients' parents to take to their new doctors. A new pediatrician seen by two families turned Nesselson in.

By: Jason Petrina Today it is highly recommended that certain individuals obtain the flu vaccine in order to avoid contracting this virus, which can be highly dangerous for the elderly and persons with weakened immune systems. Despite this advice by medical professionals; however, many year innumerable people continue to ignore this advice due to concerns regarding the safety of the flu vaccine. As a result, more than 20,000 people continue to die in the United States as a result of flu related complications. The flu vaccine is manufactured using an inactivated or killed viral vaccine. During the manufacturing process, the flu viruses are actually grown inside chicken eggs and then are later harvested. A chemical process is used to kill the live flu virus. After purification and testing for safety, the vaccine is ready to be used in order to vaccinate humans. There are actually many different varieties of the flu. Researchers and scientists determine which strains will be most predomin

The flu season runs from November to April, with most cases occurring between late December and early March. About 10% to 20% of people get the flu every winter [1]. In children, the odds are even worse, with up to 40% of children becoming clinically ill due to the influenza virus. The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get a flu vaccination. Hospitalization and death from flu complications pose real risks. Every year, on average, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications and approximately 36,000 people die from the flu [2]. Additionally, immunizing children against influenza is perhaps the best method to reduce the occurrence of the flu in the community. If children receive the flu shot but the rest of the family abstains, the influenza attack rate drops by 40%; if parents also get the flu shot, the influenza attack rate drops by 80% [3]. What is influenza? Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by a number of RNA viruses. An airborne virus, the flu en

Health officials report a seventy-five percent drop in deaths in Africa connected to measles.Measles itself is usually not a direct cause of death. Deaths are commonly the
