Vaccines

I am not going to go into my personal thoughts about vaccines. I think it is up to everyone to do their own research and then decide what they think and feel- especially being led by the Spirit in their lives. This comes from one Dr. who is in LA that I think has many a good thing to say about quite a number of topics. Dr. Pepi. This is her take on Vaccines. You decide for yourself.


"There is a schedule of vaccination shots for your family that medical doctors try to enforce. The source of this program is the Center for Disease Control. While the CDC sounds scientific, it actually just approves the injection schedule for you that has been recommended to them by the Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee.

The FDA Advisory Committee members are financially supported by the drug manufacturers who make vaccines. By 2005, world vaccine sales were over $8 billion and are expected to be $20 billion by 2010.

The FDA does not Test for the Safety or Effectiveness of its Vaccine Recommendations

Sometimes a vaccine will be taken off the schedule after enough patients have died or had harmful effects. You can watch the vaccine schedule change at the CDC website by clicking here. In place of true and thorough scientific research prior to prescription, we are the experiment on a grand scale.

My advice:

  1. Thoroughly research any injections that are recommended to your family before you agree to them.
  2. Build up your family's immune function.
  3. Read about Vaccines and Mercury and Vaccines and Children."

Thank you for posting this. My husband (who is in pharmacy school) and I (well...you know my dad..haha) have VERY different ideas when it comes to vaccines. I've been able to at least stand my ground when it comes to scheduling. It's really all very scary. We can't just trust whatever the government says.

You kids who are so mad at science and the medical world, think hard!! I am old enough to have had friends who had polio and have a partial paralysis. Small pox and measles, polio, and other diseases have been eliminated because of vaccines. I am thankful that we can choose to receive vaccines, and I applaud the medical field for so many advances that make our lives more comfortable, and free of many diseases.

Thank you for the information, Carly. It is very hard as a mother to know what is the truth. We live in an age where there is so much information flooding us from every direction and on both sides of every argument. It seems every one has an agenda. And we are only trying to do what is best for our families.

Here here to Ede though. I definitely agree that although there might need to be some changes in the vaccine schedule ect., we are all much to young to remember the devistation these diseases caused to families and communities alike. There have been several measles outbreaks in San Diego over the last year and that is pretty scary to me too. With so many parents choosing not to vaccinate at all, we are seeing some of these illness find their way back into our society.

I definitely see truth on both sides; which is again...confusing!

Thanks for the fun discussion ladies!
