Vaccinations: How Safe are They?
Vaccinations have been a necessary evil of childhood for over 40 years. But are vaccinations really necessary for your child? There has been growing professional as well as public concern about the safety of the mandatory vaccinations that are to be given to the majority of children before they are allowed to attend school.
Why All the Worry?
Autism has never been fully understood, nor the causes that might have contributed to the condition. Many parents of autistic children believe that their children’s disabilities were caused by vaccinations. It is thought that as much as 60% of parents feel that childhood immunity shots are the reason for their children’s condition.
Now the medical community is becoming concerned as well. When children receive all the vaccinations that are recommended, they will receive more than 2300 times what is considered a safe and allowable limit of mercury. Most standard vaccinations are given in the first two years, so this means during these important developmental years, children are being bombarded with mercury.
The medical community feels that though the public has been told of some of the possible affects that these vaccinations may have on their children, there are much more serious consequences they are being kept in the dark about.
Should You Be Concerned?
Many parents give their children vaccinations because they received them as children and that is just the way things are done. Parents should take the time while they are pregnant to research the risks and dangers that are associated with giving babies and toddlers such high doses of harmful chemicals.
Scientists are now comparing the effects of Gulf War Syndrome with the effects of vaccinations and autism. A report by Dr. Blaylock outlines some of the similarities between the two and concerns that every parent should be aware of before deciding upon a course of vaccinations for their children.
