toldailytopic: Is it a good idea to vaccinate your children?

[elohiym]

Yes, it is, assuming Mothering Magazine means "unfairly maligned without valid scientific evidence by hand-wringing bliss ninnies who don't know how lucky they are to be born in this era of mass vaccination."

The article in Mothering Magazine was written by Dr. Robert Sears, M.D. It is an excerpt from his book. What facts about aluminum in vaccines in the article do you dispute?

How can it not be?

 

[Flipper]

The article in Mothering Magazine was written by Dr. Robert Sears, M.D. It is an excerpt from his book. What facts about aluminum in vaccines in the article do you dispute?

For a start, Dr Robert Sears flags Thimerosal as a health risk, when no reputable study has shown this to be the case. He acknowledges that the CDC caved to public pressure and had Thimerosal pulled as a viable ingredient for vaccinations. But he mysteriously neglects to inform his worried readers that the rate of autism detections - autism emphatically linked by the anti-vaccers to Thimerosal - has continued to increase, and the removal of Thimerosal has so far shown no positive benefit to public health.

So right away, when he writes: "I worry that aluminum may end up being another thimerosal. I am relieved that, as of 2002, the mercury-containing preservative had been removed from most vaccines..." he's withholding very relevant facts.

Babies get more aluminium from breast milk than they do from vaccines, as the following refutation of Dr Sears points out:

...Sears’ main argument for spacing out vaccines is to avoid
giving infants too much aluminum at one time, writing, “When a baby gets the first big round of shots at two months, the total dose of aluminum can vary from 295 micrograms . . . to a whopping 1225 micrograms if the highest aluminum brands are used and a hep B vaccine is also given. . . . These doses are repeated at four and six
months.” Extrapolating studies of patients undergoing hemodialysis and severely premature infants to healthy newborns, Sears claims that these quantities might be unsafe. However, Sears fails to put aluminum exposure in context. By 6 months of age, infants typically ingest 6700
g of aluminum in breast milk, 37 800
g in infant formula, or 116 600
g in soy-based formula.

"Furthermore, Sears fails to describe scientific studies that led the National Vaccine Program Office to conclude that the amount of aluminum contained in vaccines did not warrant changing the vaccine schedule...

Failing to describe highly relevant facts to make his argument seem better is obviously Sears's MO.

If you got chickenpox as a child, you don't have to get vaccinated because you are immune for life.

Try telling that to the Army.

 

[Persephone66]

I never got chicken pox as a kid.

 

[Silent Hunter]

I never got chicken pox as a kid.

. . . were you vaccinated? . . . and even so . . . wait for the roofers to do their work.

 

[Tyrathca]

I never got chicken pox as a kid.

Well then I'd recommend you get vaccinated now if you are at all likely to encounter infected children (I remeber you teach but can't remember what ages ). The reason being that chicken pox for a child is annoying but chicken pox for an adult can be dangerous.

 

[Lon]

One of the recent ones for us was a shot for STD's. We ignored the pamphlet recommendations from the doctor's office until we could discuss the matter with our regular doctor (she's on vacation a lot). She's Jewish but also very in touch with her Christian patients. The main question for us was "why?" We know our kids and they will wait for marriage so it didn't seem needful to us. She told us, "Yes" but their partner might not have been as prudent and this will take care of that."

It was sound advice.

I understand the rational, and know someone who claims her husband gave her HPV that caused the cancer she has since recovered from (or so she was convinced by her doctor). She was advised to get the Gradasil vaccine after, though she was already infected. It's unfortunate that she didn't first thoroughly investigate Gardasil or the alleged link between HPV and cervical cancer before receiving the vaccine.

Assuming the vaccine is safe and efficacious, why wouldn't it have been sounder advice to wait until the child was close to marriage?

If the partner was a virgin, no vaccine would be needed. Further, you would have had X more years to see if this vaccine is safe and efficacious. What was the evidence-based rationale for doing it now?

Did the doctor discuss with you the potential risks from injecting 225 mcg of aluminum into a developing child's body? How is the risk of injecting aluminum into a child outweighed by the 1% chance a sexually active adult in the U.S. will die from cervical cancer, allegedly caused by a virus that is cleared from the body by the immune system in 70 percent to 90 percent of cases? :idunno:

 

[Lovejoy]

Well, since I caught measles, mumps, and whooping cough from the vaccinations when I was a kid, I decided not to have my children vaccinated. On top of that, a doctor told me that he doesn't believe in the whole battery of vaccinations for children. He said that one vaccination of each disease should immunize a person for life.

It doesn't. I was vaccinated for everything as a child, and had anti-body titer done to prove immunity when I went into critical and emergency care. I was no longer immune to at least one virus (chicken pox in that case), and had to be reimmunized. As well, their are differences in efficacy based on whether or not they are using live attenuated viruses, killed, particle/protein subunit, toxins, etc. I am actually amazed at the docs claim, as the immune system is so variable, and the current push is to get immunizations done on the entire population, and some are focussed on adult to older populations, or teens (especially in flu and pneumococcal vaccines, meningococcal vaccine, on and on). His claim seems dated, and possibly prejudicial.

Interesting reading:

“Based on new scientific information published in the past 15 years, it is now generally agreed that identifying and typing HPV infection does not bear a direct relationship to stratification of the risk for cervical cancer . Most acute infections caused by HPV are self-limiting [1, 4-7]. …Repeated sequential transient HPV infections, even when caused by “high-risk” HPVs, are characteristically not associated with high risk of developing squamous intraepithelial lesions, a precursor of cervical cancer. A woman found to be positive for the same strain (genotype) of HPV on repeated testing is highly likely suffering from a persistent HPV infection and is considered to be at high risk of developing precancerous intraepithelial lesions in the cervix. It is the persistent infection, not the virus, that determines the cancer risk.”

Did your doctor inform you of that, Lon?

They are actually moving that vaccine out for boys and girls, and the risk of cancers from the virus has moved to other organs, and the means of spreading it have come into question.

That seems like an incorrect conclusion. The persistent infection IS OF the virus, and it is simply one that (for whatever reason, including having a more aggressive serotype of virus) is not cleared by the body. It will still be prevented by the vaccine. I agree, however, that only people who are not able to clear the virus are at risk of retaining precancerous cells caused by the virus, that is actually well understood, and it is for those people that we vaccinate. We just don't know who they will be.

Babies get more aluminium from breast milk than they do from vaccines, as the following refutation of Dr Sears points out...

It is sufficient for me to point out that there are obvious differences between ingested aluminum and injected aluminum that it makes it an apples to oranges comparison.

"There seems to be abundant data concerning risk levels for ingested aluminum, but scant data about risk levels for injected aluminum. The oral minimum risk level, for example, appears to be in the range of 2–60 mg/kg of aluminum per day but there are no comparable data for injected aluminum." Source.

And while that National Vaccine Program Office workshop report on aluminum in vaccines in 2002 claimed "preliminary animal experiments have shown that the aluminum adjuvants are dissolved by citrate in the interstitial fluid, leaving the body rapidly," animal studies in 2007 and 2009 have shown "aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration."

So where is the "aluminum adjuvants are dissolved by citrate in the interstitial fluid" research? Let's see it.

Failing to describe highly relevant facts to make his argument seem better is obviously Sears's MO.

The "article" in Mothering Magazine is an excerpt about aluminum in vaccines specifically from Dr. Sears' book about vaccination. What he wrote or didn't write in that excerpt about Thimerosal is irrelevant to the validity of the points he made regarding aluminum adjuvants.

 

[Lon]

. . . in that . . . "their partner(s) might were not have been as prudent" . . . as you and your wife taught them to be?

. . . if so . . . they chose . . . poorly.

Perhaps. I would hope they'd find equally prudent partners, of course.

She let us know it was transferable through a kiss as well.

 

[Zeke]

It is irresponsible not to.

Of course this is another topic filled with wild conspiracy theories based on bad information. Vaccinations have eradicated horrible diseases from our world, end of story.

I guess the amish are irresponsible then, though there maybe some over blown hype as with any issue, I would be wise to check into it. If I had it to do over I wouldn't get my children vacinated, the amish do just fine because they eat right which is the key!

Grace, Zeke.

Vaccines and Autism

Vaccines and Excitotoxins

Also, if you look at the CDC's own statistics, once children under 5 began receiving the flu vaccine in 2003, deaths for that age group related to the flu SKYROCKETED. If you believe that the vaccine is effective, you could likely be convinced that Red is blue if the media repeated it enough. The only reason it is advocated is because there is money to be made, they don't care that it doesn't work.

I could do this all day, but I assume you know how to use google.

Each year the vaccine is given as a best guess as to what strain will be prominent that flu season. This season, they are thinking it will be the same flu as last year, so the vaccine is for the same strains of flu as last year. If the vaccine actually works,, then nobody should be told they need the flu shot this year if they got it last year. So the answer to your question is another question...




How about this quote taken directly from the flu vaccine FLULAVAL’s package insert (which you likely never see when getting the flu shot) for the 2009-2010 formula:

" FLULAVAL is an influenza virus vaccine indicated for active immunization of adults 18 years of age and older against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the vaccine. This indication is based on immune response elicited by FLULAVAL, and there have been no controlled trials demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL.”

How about this peer reviewed article:

Influenza vaccination: policy versus evidence

A study published in the October 2008 issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young children against the flu had no impact on flu-related hospitalizations or doctor visits during two recent flu seasons.

The researchers concluded that "significant influenza vaccine effectiveness could not be demonstrated for any season, age, or setting" examined.

A 2008 study published in the Lancet found that influenza vaccination was NOT associated with a reduced risk of pneumonia in older people.

This supports an earlier study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Research published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also confirms that there has been no decrease in deaths from influenza and pneumonia in the elderly, despite the fact that vaccination coverage among the elderly has increased from 15 percent in 1980 to 65 percent now.

In 2007, researchers with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the National Institutes of Health published this conclusion in the Lancet Infectious Diseases: “We conclude that frailty selection bias and use of non-specific endpoints such as all-cause mortality,have led cohort studies to greatly exaggerate vaccine benefits.”

A large-scale, systematic review of 51 studies, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in 2006, found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo in children under 2. The studies involved 260,000 children, age 6 to 23 months.

Again, I could do this all day. Try google.
