Immunizations

The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is not immunization

Tim O'Shea

Shortly after Sariah was born I took all four children in for their required immunizations, including mine for Rubella since the midwifes had mentioned that my blood work showed I was no longer immune to it and that if we planned on having more children I should get a booster as Ruebella is fatal during pregnancy. It was tramatic. We were all in tears. Deep in my soul I knew I would not do this again. Something seemed so wrong about the scenario. Although I couldn't pinpoint it, after all I was doing what every good mother did right? Although looking back I do not think this was my first inkling that something was wrong, in fact, I know it wasn't. When Serenitie went for her two month shots I brought her home and she proceeded to sleep for seven hours straight in the middle of the day. Around hour four I had called the clinic and explained that she had been sleeping a great deal and despit my efforts I could not wake her up. they replied that this was normal and if I recognized any other unusual things (fever, redness at injection site, vomitting, etc..) to call back. Well, none of those things appeared so I never called back. Now I shudder to think of what could have happened, and what does to many parents in that situation. Incident #1.

Years later they came out with the chicken pox vaccine. My first thought was "you have to be kidding me! We have now added chicken pox to the list of potentially fatal diseases?". but as a good mommy I trudged Michael in for his shot (Seri had the chicken pox at about a year so she was naturally immunized and therefore didn't require immunization). We thought it was funny at the time how he came down with the chicken pox about two-three weeks after the shot, now that is not so funny. Incident #2

So, as a praying people (funny how it seems we pray about everything but I do not remember ever having asked for guidance about giving vaccinations before this point) I asked that this question be included in our family and individual prayers, should we continue to immunize our children according to "their" recommended schedules? Both my husband and I came away with a clear and undeniable, "No, not at this time". So going off that we knew that for our family vaccinations were no longer part of the routine, no questions asked.

However, as others become aware of our decision, I find myself having to defend it and, "because we prayed about it" isn't holding the weight it should in these discussions. So, my research begins.

As someone who pursued a Psychology major in school I understand the importance of making an informed decision. I started out thinking I know what the pro-vaccine side says, I have heard it since I was pregnant with my first. I have read all the little papers and pamphlets they send home with the mothers, although now I remember them always being written by the pharmecology industry (and they want me to make an informed decision, ha.) I have been told over and over how vaccines are the salvation of the modern era, how they eradicated disease, gave us longer life-spans and about how my children needed to be saved from these fatal diseases and the only way was to get their scheduled vaccines, after all it was the law, right? It was what every one did. And besides, they wouldn't let me children in school if they didn't have their vaccines up-to-date.

This book made me aware and taught me not to accept but to question. You have to respect an author who says that he will introduce new ideas into your scheme, things you don't want to believe, and then he constantly invites and encourages you to check his references (of which there are plenty) (us psych majors LOVE references!) and do your own investigations into the matter. These are the words of someone who has nothing to hide and dares you to prove him wrong. Funny, I don't see the other side doing that at all?

The author starts by disputing the myth that vaccination equals immunization which it does not but somehow they have brainwashed us to think of the two as synnonomous.

Next he goes into some of the things contained in most vaccinations including Formaldehyde, Aluminum, and Mercury. We have ingredient labels on food, wonder why we don't recieve one for vaccinations? The scary thing is that these ingredients are being introduced into the system of infants who have had little chance at developing their own immunity and whose functions are not fully complete. The other thing he brings up is that these are being introduced straight into the bloodstream where a lot of the diseases they are supposed to prevent were never naturally meant to be. Usually you contract the disease through your digestive system or airway system, thus enabeling these systems to get to work at fighting the disease before it ever hits the blood stream. With vaccinations you are bypassing all of that and comtaminating the blood stream which then has the capablility to carry the disease further to places it was never meant to go.

He goes into the theory of Natural vrs Artificial immunity. As described by my Rubella case above. Had I not been vaccinated and contracted Rubella as a child I would not have to worry about catching it in my child bearing years when it is really fatal. I would have had natural immunity and been immune for life. Instead, girls get vaccinated at an age where naturally contracting Rubella would most likely be a mild affair, then by the time they are of child bearing age, surprise! You are no longer immune, and now it may kill your unborn child! Vaccination is artificial immunity and does not last, why do you think you have to get so many boosters? Because it doesn't last! and we vaccinate the boys for it to! Even though for them Rubella would almost always be mild. but now we have tons of women who are not immune and are of child bearing age so we have to vaccinate everyone, oh joy!!

Presented in the book also is research that shows that many of these diseases were well on their way to exterminating themselves from the population before the vaccine for them even came around. With Polio for instance, it has been declared eradicated for the past thirty years. Yet if you look there have been cases of Poliio during that time, all of them as a result of the vaccine, none of them were naturally contracted!!

They say we have healthier lives. Look around you..... how many people do you see or know afected by autism, cancer, ADHD, Diabetes? How can they say we are healthier? While it may not be proven to the satisfaction of all, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to immunizations as having had a part of these new aflictions. Look at the timeline. When were vaccines mandated? When did these afflictions start to rise in astronomical numbers?

Which brings us to SIDS, an acronym that did not even exist before the mandate of vaccines. hmmm. Most SIDS cases die between 2 to 6 months, when they start recieving vaccinations every two months. Look at what we are introducing into the bodies of these infants. But no, that is never the reason, never even a factor. It is much better to blame the stupid mother who put a blanket on her baby. They tell you to take everything out of the crib because an infant does not have the head strength to turn or raise it's head to get air. Thus we are led to belive it is our fault because the child suffocated in their sleep. We believe that people can lift cars and do other super-human things when faced with life or death, but we don't think an infant can try to get breath? They are born with the same instinct we have to survive. If they can't breath they will let someone know. They will thrash, kick, try to scream.....not just lay there and go "oh well, can't breath.....". But, if they are compromised from the inside, that's a different story, but one very few want to talk about.

I could go on, believe me, but I would rather encourage you to investigate it for yourself. There is nothing to lose. Not saying that our decision will be right for everyone.... But we don't need to blindly accept, we have been given an intellect to question and search for truth.

For us it comes down to one of two possible truths, either our bodies were equipped and are efficient enough to deal with the harsh world by design, or we need professional help from science because our bodies are not sufficient.

As for those who question whether my children will infect you, if you believe in your vaccines effectiveness to immunize, why are you concerned? Your protected right? In fact, if anyone catches it from anybody, it will be my child who catches it from yours who has been injected with the disease in some form.
