A User-Friendly
Vaccination Schedule by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD - Vaccination is
a controversial subject, and many parents worry about subjecting their
children to them. Readers of my article "Mercury on the Mind," about vaccines
and dental amalgams, have asked what vaccines I would recommend their children
receive. This article addresses that question.
Dismissing
the Family Who Refuses Vaccines - A Study of Pediatrician Attitudes
Erin A. Flanagan-Klygis, MD; Lisa Sharp, PhD; Joel E. Frader, MD
Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2005;159:929-934.
Results Fifty-four percent faced total vaccine refusal during a 12-month period. Pediatricians cited safety concerns as a top reason for parent refusal. Thirty-nine percent said they would dismiss a family for refusing all vaccinations. Twenty-eight percent said they would dismiss a family for refusing select vaccines. Pediatrician dismissers were not significantly different from nondismissers with respect to age, sex, and number of years in practice. Pediatrician dismissers were more likely than nondismissers to view traditional vaccines (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis; inactivated poliovirus; Haemophilus influenzae type b; measles, mumps, and rubella) as "extremely important," but they were no more likely to view newer vaccines (7-valent pneumococcal conjugate, varicella-zoster virus, hepatitis B) as "extremely important."
Conclusions Pediatricians commonly face vaccine refusal that they
perceive to be due to parent safety concerns. In response, many pediatricians
say they would discontinue care for families refusing some or all vaccines.
This willingness to dismiss refusing families is inconsistent with an apparent
ambivalence about newer, yet recommended, vaccines. The practice of family
dismissal needs further study to examine its actual impact on vaccination
rates, access to care, and doctor-patient relations.
My Conclusions are that this is a helpful guide to the "essential" vaccinations
if you want an easy guide to selective vaccination.
"Instead of mercury, the new vaccination contains aluminium and formaldehyde,
both known neurological toxins, held by some experts as equally responsible
for autism. Just thought you’d like to know. "

State
Exemptions - RECOMMENDATIONS VS. LAWS: It is important for you to know
the legal requirements of the vaccination laws in your state and to understand
the difference between a legal requirement and a recommendation. While
vaccine policymakers in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that the MMR shot be given
to all children, your state may legally require only measles and rubella
vaccines. In this case, you have the legal option to vaccinate with only
measles and rubella vaccines and not with mumps vaccine.

Some Babies More Prone To Measles
CHICAGO(AP) Infants whose mothers were vaccinated against measles inherit few natural antibodies and are far more likely to catch the virus than infants of older, unvaccinated mothers, according to a study released Monday.
The study confirms what public health officials anticipated when the vaccine was licensed in 1963, that the population would lose natural immunity to measles.
Researchers from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that unvaccinated infants of mothers born after 1963 were 7.5 times as likely to catch measles as unvaccinated infants of mothers born before 1963.
Findings appear in the November issue of Pediatrics, and researchers said they underscore the importance of getting babies vaccinated by 12 months of age.
Measles kills a million people worldwide each year, and public health officials want even better than the 90 percent U.S. immunization rate.
Measles once was a rite of passage in U.S. childhood _ at its peak in 1941, it infected 894,134 Americans and killed 2,279. Last year, only 100 cases were reported.
Having had measles leaves much higher levels of disease-fighting antibodies
in the blood than being vaccinated. Before the vaccine, infants acquired
significant antibodies from their mothers at birth, which protected them
until the antibodies were depleted.
The logic in the above claims escapes me. We know that very early vaccination of newborns causes problems. We know that unvaccinated newborns are more susceptible if their mothers were vaccinated. The conclusion I draw is that having vaccinated their mothers made them more susceptible, and that the vaccination program does not protect the most vulnerable segment of the population - newborns.
I will be more impressed with the research when the responsible scientists actually start paying attention to the factors that matter. For example, what levels of immunity are conferred whether they are breastfed vs. bottle fed, and whether their mothers were vaccinated or unvaccinated. It sounds to me as if the best way to protect newborns is for them to be breastfed and for their mothers not to have been vaccinated. I wish they'd base their claims on science instead of the "vaccination religion".
