Excerpts:

I grew up with epilepsy, and we had to test different medications and dosages to figure out what would work for me. When someone gets cancer, they often test a part of the tumor to ensure that they are using the ideal treatment option to get rid of the cancer. When a child is diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, they have to go through different medications and dosages to see what really works for them. When I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, the initial medication worked, but the dosage needed to be higher.

We understand this is a part of our structure, that all people are “wired” differently. We get that some suffer mental illness, metabolism issues, or things like allergies. We are capable of understanding that opening up a bag of peanuts in front of the wrong person could take their life while everyone else in the room is fine. We gripe that we gain 10 pounds by looking at chocolate and our spouse can devour an entire cake with no problem.

So why are vaccines “one size fits all”? How did we go from 7 shots (24 doses) being “fully vaxxed” to 50 (69 doses) in ONE generation and not think twice about the effects of all those chemicals and diseases being injected to our children’s newly and still developing bodies, and assume that there cannot possibly be ANY repercussions from this? Why do so many choose to refuse to acknowledge that possibility?

Vaccines are claimed to have “eradicated” so many childhood diseases and to be the reason why so few children die each year because of them. Really? The cold used to kill children by the dozens. We don’t have a vaccine for it, and our kids aren’t dying off from it. The plague: no vaccine for it, but not really an issue anymore either, is it? Could it possibly be that medical science itself and the progress of things like steroids, antibiotics, and better hygiene practice, both in the home and environmentally, had something to do with this? Maybe the invention of central heat and air, allowing us to keep ourselves a healthy temperature all hours of the day wherever we go? The invention of convenient and quick transportation to medical facilities that did not wear our already-sick bodies to the bone, unlike when we traveled predominantly by foot? Possibly the ability and convenience of getting clothing that suits the area we live in? Of course not. None of these things could possibly contribute to a healthier immune system of their own accord. It was vaccinating for everything else that made the common cold go from life threatening to merely a nuisance, right?

Allow me to explain, but first let me be perfectly clear about one thing: I never wanted my children to be vaccinated. Not even a little bit. And up until today, I have only been honest about that with a few people that I went to for support when I was pregnant with my first. I did not get that support. If you are a believer in vaccines, then anyone that thinks twice about it is “the problem.” With my oldest, I was open with our pediatrician about my concerns and the fact that I was totally against what I was about to do. She was completely supportive and offered a *VERY* delayed schedule, and I took it. I felt like I was getting what I wanted, just a little bit. She was constantly sick with colds and ear infections the first two years. She was on Claritin for allergies, but all in all seemed “fine,” so we stuck with it.

Then Izzy came along . . .

Izzy was vaccine-injured at six months old.

Medical Doctors Opposed to Forced Vaccinations – Should Their Views be Silenced?

One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.”

However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines.

The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary.

Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field.

In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual.

Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot.

These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.

In this article, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.
