Understanding the Misconceptions Surrounding Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness
There are lies and deceptions that permeate society to the extent that they are accepted as irrefutable truths. When it comes to vaccines, there are several of them such that belief in vaccinations is more of a religion than it is a science-based analysis of the facts.
Let’s examine a few of the big lies:
- Vaccines Are Safe and Effective
It turns out not a single vaccine has ever been tested for safety using proper placebos (saline), had trials lasting long enough to detect the various health conditions made worse by the vaccines, and none (prior to my own Vaxxed-Unvaxxed published data) had compared all health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Thus, the science being quoted by the media, doctors, and public health authorities is junk science funded mainly by the pharmaceutical industry to promote their products.
Effectiveness varies, with some vaccines being virtually worthless in the way they are given, such as hepatitis B for newborns and infants, while other vaccines are fairly effective. Sadly, even for those that are fairly effective, the risk of death from the vaccines exceeds the risk of death from the disease for which you are vaccinating. (Ref. Vax Facts Book)
- Severe Vaccine Side Effects Are 1 in a Million
Severe side effects are typically seen in both arms of vaccine safety trials. The vaccine (study group) is compared to a "placebo group" that is generally a group getting an older vaccine. Most studies publish severe side effects in both groups as being 5% or 10%, meaning that 1/20 or 1/10 who get the vaccine are having a severe reaction or side effect! Hardly the 1/ million quoted and used by the CDC in their promotional VIS (Vaccine Information Sheets) that are given to parents to reassure them that the vaccines are safe.
- The Vaccines Undergo Robust Safety Testing
The truth is that the entire vaccine schedule has never been tested for safety. When new vaccines are added to the CDC-recommended childhood vaccine schedule, no testing that compares those who get the full new schedule to those who are unvaccinated is ever done.
- The Vaccinated Are Protecting Society, So Vaccinate for the Greater Good
A look at the vaxxed-unvaxxed studies that are published shows that the unvaccinated are extremely healthy in comparison, with less chronic conditions like ADHD, autism, learning and developmental disorders, less asthma, allergies, and autoimmunity, and importantly, fewer infections of all kinds. What that means when it comes to infections is that it is the unvaccinated who actually provide greater community immunity, and the unvaccinated who are less of a threat to those who are old or immune compromised. The vaccinated get sick more often. It is sick people who get others sick.
