There is much debate and controversy about child vaccinations being safe or not. Parents wonder should they get

their children vaccinated and take the risk of their child having a side effect. While some experts say that vaccinations are

safe, others say that vaccinations are deadly.

Approximately 100 years ago children received 1 vaccine, smallpox. About 40 years ago children received 5

vaccines, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, smallpox and polio. Today a child receives 52 vaccines, 15 of these shots are by the

age of 16 months (http://tuberose.com). By the time another 100 years go by it is possible that our children will receive

double the amount of vaccinations of today which would put children receiving about 100 shots or more. I couldn’t imagine

giving my children that many shots especially sense most people do not know exactly what are in these vaccines.

Vaccines are made up of toxic chemicals like MSG, aluminum, formaldehyde, sucrose, phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)

And thimerosal (mercury). Thimerosal is nearly 50% mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin with a EPA safe level of .01

micrograms per 1 kilogram bodyweight per day. A simple trip to the pedestrians and your child could get injected with high

levels of mercury up to 62.5 micrograms a visit because vaccines contain 12.5 to 25 micrograms of mercury. Vaccines that

are not properly mixed well will cause an increase of mercury for the children who receive the last couple or shots from the

vial ( http://tuberose.com). My theory is, you would not break a thermometer and let your child eat the mercury, then why are

we as parents letting doctors inject our children with vaccines with high doses of mercury in them especially when we have

all heard about mercury poisoning and side effects.

“If children receive all recommended vaccines, they will receive 2,370 times the “allowable safe limit” for mercury in the first two years of life (as if there is such a thing as a “safe” amount of toxic poison). Yet, even after congressional hearings instigated by Congressman Dan Burton (whose own grandchild became autistic after receiving vaccines) resulted in the FDA requesting (not ordering) vaccine manufactures to remove this toxic heavy metal from their products, mercury is still present in many vaccines. Rebecca Carley, MD” (www.shirleys.com)

Mercury has been removed from vaccines gradually since 1999, but is still in some vaccinations and virtually all flu shots. (www.shirleys.com).

Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the worlds most quoted biologist of today, says that an individual who has a flu shot for 5 years in a row their chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease is 10 times greater than if they only received 1, 2 or none (www.shirleys.com). Does your children receive a flue shot every year, mine don’t.

Most pediatricians and doctors will not tell you that vaccines are not safe, most promote the use of vaccines, but more and more doctors, scientists, and congressmen are speaking out against vaccines. Dr Viera Scheibner, Ph. D. says

“I did not find it difficult to conclude that there is no evidence what so ever that vaccines of any kind are effective in

preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to prevent further, adverse effects are amply documented and

are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. Immunizations not only did

not prevent any infectious diseases they caused more suffering and more deaths than has any other human activity in

the entire history of medical intervention. It will be decades before the mopping up after the disasters cause by

childhood vaccination will be completed” (www.whale.to)

The old saying is that each individual is unique, well that goes right along with their immune systems, how can our government say that everybody will react the same way to a certain vaccine or that it will protect you no matter what,
