Vaccines, Friend or Foe?

For millennia, plagues have ripped at the fabric of civilizations and decimated untold populations. The Black Plague, perhaps best known in modern history, may have been a relatively small outbreak when comparing it to even earlier periods of antiquity.

Man has always hoped to be able to avoid the ravages of such devastation of human life. With the advent of "modern science" came great promise to minimize or eradicate the effects of such killing and crippling diseases. Polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella and a host of influenzas were now considered plagues of the past. As new vaccines were developed and introduced to larger and larger populations and multiple generations were vaccinated, it seemed that we could be protected from nearly everything, as long as we received boosters at prescribed time points.

Anthrax Vaccine

New vaccines continue to be developed at a dizzying rate and "refinements" of existing vaccines and their components have forged ahead. It is estimated that vaccine development today may be the single largest area of biomedical development and R&D budgets.

As with the new vaccines and vaccine refinements, the additives used to "enhance" their action have become more diverse and plentiful. These additives or adjuvants are added to vaccines either to suppress or to excite the recipients' autoimmune process, thereby allowing the vaccine to do its intended job.

Friend or Foe?

Generations of people have been born and vaccinated during the "Vaccine Age." For over 50 years, childhood vaccinations have been commonplace. So what's the problem, one might ask?

Necessity, safety and efficacy are key thoughts to consider when taking the measurements of a vaccine's worth. Are all of the vaccines being offered or in development really necessary? Are all of these vaccines and their ingredients safe for all people who will take them? Will the vaccines' promises be realized when enough time has passed to measure those results?

Evolving events have prompted thorough consideration, asking meaningful questions before blindly accepting vaccines for self or loved ones.

Initial and cumulative effects of vaccines are being scrutinized as populations appear to be exhibiting negative symptoms. Childhood vaccines have been tagged with growing numbers and percentages of autism. Military members from the Gulf War Era and since present with multiple symptoms and syndromes, leaving them weakened or incapacitated following administration of anthrax and other vaccines. Large populations are suffering multiple excruciating health conditions such as CFS (ME), FMS, and other debilitating ailments. In all of these scenarios, the only common denominators appear to be vaccines received. Even populations who are suffering MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) symptoms are asking why they now should be so sensitive to chemicals when they were not so affected earlier in life. Could that too be an effect of vaccines?

Do any of us wish to see the return of widespread plagues? Of course not. But, on the other hand, we do not wish to suffer the manmade plagues from unnecessary, unsafe, or non-efficacious vaccine products.

Vaccines, friend or foe, in large part is yet to be determined. More research is needed. More questions need to be asked. More serious consideration by all of us is needed before we roll up our sleeves for another round of vaccines.
