If the FDA & CDC were around 600 years ago we would all
still be getting vaccinated against the Plague and they would be saying to look at what an effective vaccine program we have here.
Vaccine rates go up and certain disease rates go down. However, the disease rates were declining dramatically before the vaccine programs started. I have seen many pro-vaccine articles discussing the measles death rate in 1900 and how wonderful vaccines are because of the tremendous drop in measles death. Only it left out the fact that the measles vaccine was not developed until the mid 40’s and the dead rate had already declined 97% by time the measles vaccine was invented!
Vaccine rates go up and some diseases go down. However, asthma,
allergies, juvenile diabetes, juvenile leukemia, autism, ADD, ADHD
all go up.
The following is just a part of an article from a few years ago. There is much more to be said.
Unvaccinated Children Have Less Asthma – In an article entitled “The Dark Side of Immunizations?” Science News reviews new reports by researchers that show that vaccinated children have a higher
incidence of asthma and diabetes than do unvaccinated children.
Science News reports that a study by researchers at the Wellington
School of Medicine in New Zealand found that unvaccinated New Zealand children report fewer cases of asthma than vaccinated children.
Another study by New Zealand researchers published in the November
1997 Epidemiology analyzed the health of 1,265 people born in 1977. Of these, 23 didn’t get any childhood vaccinations and none of them suffered childhood asthma. Among the 1,242 who got polio and DPT shots, more than 23 percent later had episodes of asthma.
Science News adds that a 1994 survey of 446 British children, most of them eight years old, showed that 91 received no vaccinations in early childhood. Only one child out of 91 had asthma. About 11
percent of the other 355 children who had been vaccinated had asthma.
