If you read the “official” vaccination guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you’ll be told that vaccination is one of the best ways to protect your children (and yourself) against vaccine-preventable diseases.

You’ll also be informed that vaccines are the “safe, proven choice,” with serious side effects occurring only very rarely. “Discomfort or tenderness at the injection site” is reported to be the primary “risk” of vaccines, while the CDC also states “nearly all children can be safely vaccinated” and “when vaccination rates drop in a community, it’s not uncommon to have an outbreak.”1

It’s information that would send most parents right to their pediatrician for their child’s next vaccination – unless they had researched diseases and the vaccines independently.

You see, the problem with the CDC’s (and most other public health agencies’) information is that it is highly biased and frequently misleading. It doesn’t give you the whole story.

If you’re a parent considering vaccination for your children, or an adult considering vaccination for yourself, you need to know there are risks involved that your physician probably hasn’t told you about, and some vaccines are not nearly as effective as they’re made out to be.

It’s a matter of informed consent – you deserve to know
everything about any medical procedure before you consent to it and there are risks associated with every medical procedure or pharmaceutical product, including vaccines.

Unfortunately, you won’t get the full truth unless you search beyond information published by the CDC and other groups that aggressively promote vaccinations.
