Vaccine Side Effects
How much have you heard about vaccine side effects? If you're like me, you haven't heard much.
When you take your child to well baby visits, you will hear lots of information on the illnesses they are being vaccinated against.
But what about the ailments that children suffer BECAUSE OF vaccines?
Parents of these children consistently share the same report. Their children were fine and progressing normally through their developmental stages until suddenly they stopped progressing. Oftentimes, their children lose what they have learned.
When you look at the package inserts of vaccines, the side effects are listed. Here are just some of the many reported side effects:
vomiting
fever
afebrile and partial seizures
convulsions
Significant respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms
decreased appetite
partial facial paralysis
Guillain-Barré syndrome
Bell's palsy
Stevens-Johnson syndrome
otitis media - ear infections
death
facial edema
secondary bacterial infections
pneumonia
upper respiratory illness
lower respiratory illness
cold/canker sore
Varicella-like rash
encephalitis
So what's a parent to do? If you try to avoid all these symptoms you run a greater risk of your child experiencing the illness. For example, parents in France once ruled out the polio vaccine in favor of letting the illness run its course in their children. The results are seen today in adults with hands and legs that are handicapped.
What remains is for parents to be aware of all the risks before making their decisions either to chance vaccine side effects or chance an ill child (Some other solutions are detoxing after a vaccination like one woman did or building up the immune system as a preventive measure).
However, there are some parents who don't even get to make that choice for their children. Some parents are pushed into vaccination before they are ready. Other parents get ignored when voicing their decision not to vaccinate their child.
This video tells the story of one such experience:
It is easy for the doctors to brush aside adverse reactions to vaccines, especially when it doesn't happen to their children. It is not so easy for the parents of children experiencing a negative reaction.
