Vaccine Insanity

I started practicing just 17 short years ago. At that time I did provide immunizations to the children in my general family practice. I didn't know any better at the time (I had to do some EFT for that one).

However, the vaccine schedule wasn't that bad for kids.

Before the age of one they only received 12 antigens and a total of 6 shots and by the age of five that increased to a total of 25 antigens and 10 shots. I still believe these caused problems, especially severe psychoemotional traumas in many children as they physically restrained by their parents to be assaulted with these vaccine needles.

However, today the situation is far, far worse. The reprehensible irresponsible action of giving hepatitis B to newborns is one of the biggest offenses.

17 years ago a child did not get their first shot until two months of age.

But in addition to getting shots within a few day of being born, most children are given 51 antigens before the age of one. This is 400% more than previously given.

I have included the exact figures for your review in the tables below.

This is a major mess and it is only getting worse as there are far more vaccines in the pipeline. I am afraid that many more children will have to suffer with permanent neurological damage before the health officials in the US properly address the situation.
