Are Vaccines Really Safe? November 5
All this vaccine talk for the past couple of weeks or so has definitely led to mixed opinions and emotions. Should you or shouldn’t you get vaccinated? And if you do, will there be a vaccine available for you? And how sure are you that what you will be doing will help you or only cause you more problems down the line?
The issue about vaccines has been going on for quite some time, way before the swine flu pandemic even came to being. There has been talk that vaccination in children eventually led to autism or other major health issues. This has actually brought the advantages of vaccines to question — are vaccines defeating the very purpose they were created to serve?
A feature on MedPage Today tells of a study that seems to discount the relationship between vaccination and health problems. Researchers went through the electronic medical records of Northern California Kaiser Permanente, focusing their search on the records of children who were diagnosed with an inborn error of metabolism from 1990 until 2007, remaining in the system until the age of three.
An analysis was also made of emergency room visits as well as hospitalizations of children until the age of 18 who had an inborn error of metabolism, who also received at least one vaccine at some point.
In both cases, researchers reportedly did not find a clear-cut connection between the administration of vaccine and health problems. Although researchers were quick to clarify that these were preliminary findings, the results were still touted as “very reassuring”.
The results simply affirmed further the fact that despite the side effects that vaccines may have on some people, the positive effects still far outweigh the negative effects.
That is, of course, if the vaccine gets administered in time. Going back to the ongoing swine flu pandemic, reports are saying that it seems that the flu is overtaking the arrival of the vaccines. We certainly hope that more doses arrive when they are needed the most.

Vaccines are the cause of most, if not all neurological and chronic disease. My family is living proof of the destructive nature of vaccines. The damage is also inherited. So, they are telling you a half-truth when they say that Autism is genetic. It is, but the predisposition started with the very first generation vaccinated.
