It is well known that there are risks
associated with vaccination of dogs, just as there are risks for humans.
The trouble is, no one has adequately quantified the risks. Is it true
that only a tiny minority of dogs suffer adverse reactions to vaccines, or
is the problem more common? And what is a vaccine reaction? Is it
something that happens immediately after the jab, or can you expect a
reaction to manifest weeks or months later?
Christopher Day, Honorary Secretary of the British Homoeopathic Veterinary
Association, told us that, in his experience, where the start date of a
dog's illness is known, a high percentage (around 80%) begin within three
months of vaccination.
Canine Health Concern tested this observation and has analyzed the
histories of over 3,800 dogs post vaccination. This critical mass, by any
standards, is a very high number from which to draw valid statistical
conclusions. Most commercial scientific research involves significantly
fewer dogs (tending to base their conclusions on data involving a couple
of litters of puppies, if that). We have been able to show a definite
statistical correlation between a vaccine event and the onset of a number
of specific illnesses. Our published conclusions have satisfied
mathematical or inferential statistical tests at a level of confidence of
99% or better.
Overall, we found that 66% per cent of all sick dogs start being sick
within three months of vaccination, which is considerably more than double
the expected rate of illness. Worse, 49% of all illnesses reported in the
survey occurred within 30 days of vaccination. This is over five times the
expected percentage if vaccination had no bearing on subsequent illness.
More damning still, 29% of sick dogs first became sick within seven days
of their vaccine jab. This means that a dog is 13 times more likely to
become ill within seven days of vaccination than at any other time.
In the study, 69.2% of allergic dogs first became allergic within three
months of being vaccinated - more than double the expected number. 55.8%
of dogs with autoimmune disease developed the condition within three
months of being vaccinated - again, more than twice the expected figure.
Of dogs with colitis, 65.9% developed the complaint within three months of
being vaccinated and, of dogs with dry eye/conjunctivitis, 70.2% developed
their conditions within three months - both nearly three times higher than
expected. 73.1% of dogs with epilepsy first became epileptic within three
months of vaccination. As 2% of all dogs in the UK are epileptic, vaccines
are clearly causing horrendous damage. For statisticians, our Chi score
for epilepsy is 96: any Chi test statistic higher than twelve gives a 95%
confidence about the conclusions. Without doubt, then, the majority of
epileptic dogs in our survey are vaccine damaged.
But perhaps most astonishing is the fact that a majority of dogs (64.9%)
with behavioral problems appear to have developed their difficulties
within three months of vaccination. Similarly, 72.5% per cent of dogs with
nervous or worrying dispositions became nervous within three months of
their jabs (with a Chi score of 112), and 73.1% per cent of dogs with
short attention spans lost their attentiveness within three months of
vaccination.
All of our evidence ties in with research in the human field, and a
growing body of veterinary research, which says that vaccines cause
allergies, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmune disease, encephalitis,
epilepsy, personality changes and brain damage.
The CHC results are statistically very significant, and carry with them
very high statistical certainty. This means that the evidence is strong
that the above diseases can be triggered or caused by vaccination.
Other diseases that were highly represented within three months post
vaccination included cancer (35.1%) , chorea (81%), encephalitis (78.6%),
heart conditions (39.2%), kidney damage (53.7%), liver damage/failure
(61.5%), paralysis of the rear end (69.2%), and pancreas problems
(54.2%).
Research conducted at
Purdue University shows routinely vaccinated dogs developing auto
antibodies to a vast range of normal canine biochemicals - which
corroborates our findings.
Interestingly, our study showed that arthritis and Chronic Destructive
Reticulo Myelopathy (CDRM - a degenerative disease affecting myelin in the
spinal cord) occur in clusters nine months after vaccination, suggesting
that the damage from vaccines resulting in these two diseases takes longer
to develop or to show their symptoms.
Many contend that vaccines are a necessary evil; that we need them to
protect our dogs against certain deadly canine diseases. However, our
survey found that high percentages of dogs are developing the diseases we
vaccinate against, soon after vaccination.
Of dogs with hepatitis, 64% contracted it within three months of being
vaccinated and, of those with parainfluenza, 50% developed it within three
months of their shots. Also, 69% of dogs with parvovirus, 56% of dogs with
distemper, and every single dog with leptospirosis in the survey
contracted the diseases within three months of vaccination.
Our figures support the view that vaccines don't confer guaranteed
immunity and may actually cause the diseases they're designed to prevent.
Our figures appear to demonstrate that vaccines cause illness in one in
every hundred dogs - and this is a conservative estimate.
For human beings, the
World Health Organization considers a reaction of one in 10,000
unacceptable. Surely the same statistics apply to dogs. Worse - and
bordering on corporate dog slaughter - is the fact that we are urged to
vaccinate companion animals every year. There is no scientific
justification for this; it is a crime.
