I hear it everyday: “Vaccines Are Safe.”

In its most simplest terms, you will hear: “Vaccines are safe.”

In the most thought-out terms, you will hear: “The benefits outweigh the risks.”

Rarely will you hear (from mainstream media and our medical system): “Vaccines have not been proven safe. Vaccine Injury is real.”

October is Vaccine Injury Awareness Month

I think this is an important message to get across. Vaccines are not entirely safe. That is not a conspiracy statement. Or a statement to make others fearful. It is simply the truth. Parents need to be told that there are very real risks involved with vaccinating.

The problem is we don’t hear this. Whether we are sitting in our pediatricians office, reading a parenting magazine, or watching the TODAY show, all we hear is “vaccines are safe.”

Where are the stories of vaccine injury? The stories about the $2 billion paid out in vaccine injury cases? Why aren’t we told about these children?

“You cannot be in the presence of a profoundly vaccine damaged child and not know that child could be your own. And you cannot try to comfort a mother who has just buried a baby who has died from a vaccine … and not know that you could be the one standing over the grave. When it happens to your child, the risks are 100 percent.” ~Barbara Loe Fisher (Founder of the National Vaccine Information Center)

Just this week, I read an article saying: “There is a lot of research available showing that vaccinations don’t cause autism and are safe. There is no study that hasn’t been debunked that says otherwise.”

This article was widely discussed within the autism community, because they were outraged, and rightly so. There is actually NO research showing that the current vaccine schedule and combined doses given to infants and children is safe. And there is an abundance of science and research showing the vaccine-autism link. As well as many other autoimmune and neurological disorders being caused by vaccines. None of which have been debunked. In fact the studies that have “disproven” a vaccine/autism link, have been documented as having scientific flaws. You can read more about those (HERE)

We must seek truth.

Did you know the proper safety studies have never been done?

The chalkboard campaign portrays this truthful message in a creatively though-out out way by showing easy to read and understand chalkboards.

Vaccine injury is very real. What’s interesting to me is that the very industry that pushes vaccines, has (through creative marketing, surveillance systems, and lots & lots of money), created an illusion called “ the anti-vaccine movement.” Do they not realize that the “anti-vaccine” movement was created by nothing more than the very same parents who at one time, very much believed in vaccines and choose to trust in a system that promised to “protect” their children.

These are the parents that represent an entire generation of vaccine-injured children. But then those same parents chose to educate themselves and they read the research and the science and they figured out what happened to their children. And then those same parents also figured out that they could help and heal and recover their children. Thus the “anti-vaccine” movement was created.

This movement will only continue to grow, as more and more children are damaged by an ever increasing vaccine schedule. These parents are not  “anti-vaccine.” They are pro-their-child. And they will do everything they can to heal their child, while at the same time trying to educate the world about the cause of their child’s injury and share the message that vaccine injury is preventable.

I am very privileged to be involved in some pretty powerful groups, where these amazing & educated parents spend their days discussing how to heal their children from vaccine injury.

However, it breaks my heart that not only are these children injured by our medical system, they are also not believed, threatened, bullied, and mocked.  The biomedical community is huge and growing by the numbers. It’s only a matter on time when the world will have to admit that they exist. That the children are real. That their injury was really caused by vaccines. And that their injury was also reversible.

I watch organizations like Autism Speaks spend millions of dollars on genetic research, all the while , an entire generation of autism families are shouting from the rooftops: WE KNOW THE CAUSE. WE ALSO KNOW HOW TO PREVENT IT.

Regarding Caroline.com

I remember the day I found out about “The Gardasil Girls.” It’s a website set up by the parents of thousands of girls who have been injured or killed by the Gardasil vaccine. This was a vaccine that was fast tracked to market, brilliantly marketed, never properly tested for safety, and has remained on the market despite killing and injuring thousands of girls. It has already been taken off the market in many other countries, but not in the United States. It is currently pushed on every young girl starting at the age of 9 years old, for a cervical cancer that the vaccine has no way of protecting against. A train wreck of one vaccine injury case after another. Never discussed in mainstream media. And still pushed on young girls by every well-meaning doctor.

I spend my days talking to parents of vaccine injured children. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t receive a message or phone call about another child who was injured by vaccines. Autism, SIDS, Asthma, Allergies, Diabetes, Ulcerative Colitis, Autoimmune Disorders, Neurological disorders, Seizure disorders, Behavioral Disorders. Vaccinated kids with whooping cough, croup, RSV. Constant ear infections, rounds and rounds of antibiotics, tubes, pneumonia, sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, strep infections, constipation, bloody stools, chronic diarrhea, the list goes on & on.

I wrote a post recently titled: Is This The Best We Can Offer? You can read the full post (HERE).  In this article I share how for the first time in U.S. history, children’s life expectancies may be shorter than their parents. Despite the rapidly growing vaccination schedule, American children are more chronically ill and disabled than ever.

The following quotes come from Chapter 12 “Pediatrics: Sick is the New Healthy”, from the book “Vaccine Epidemic:”

“Children in the United States today have much higher rates of asthma, autism, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, life-threatening food allergies, obesity, ADHD, learning and behavioral disorders, and suicide than kids did in the 1980’s, when fewer vaccines were given”.

The current CDC Recommended Schedule gives 70 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18.

“What if it were true that the way we now vaccinate children causes more death, chronic disease, and disability than it prevents in America?”

I think it’s time that we start paying more attention to vaccine injury stories. Unfortunately, they are only growing in number. I’m doing a series on my  blog called “Lioness Arising Mothers“, where I shared personal stories written by mothers of vaccine-injured children. Their stories are heart wrenching and awe inspiring. I encourage you to read their stories.

“A false polarity is perpetuated that positions deaths and injuries from disease as somehow more tragic than deaths and injuries from vaccines. These are equal tragedies. No child deserves to be written off as collateral damage in the war on disease.” -Nancy Hokkanen

During the month of October, I will make vow to spread the message of vaccine injury. Will you?

Has your family been touched by vaccine injury?  Does the possibility concern you?

It’s that time of year again. Back to School. And with that comes Back To School Shots.

It was hard for me to read all the posts on Facebook leading up to back-to-school shots.

“Just brought Sally in for her Kindergarten shots. I don’t know who cried more, me or her”

“School shots today. Not looking forward to this”

I would think to myself, “Why did you do it then?”

No Shots, No School is simply Not True.

If you don’t feel comfortable giving your child shots to enter school, you don’t have to. It’s that simple.

The decisions we make for our children should be one of peace. Not decisions that cause agony.

One of the most tragic things I hear a parent tell me is: “I didn’t want to give my child shots, but we had to so they could go to school” NO! This is simply not true.

As parents, we still own our instincts and our choice. No-one can take that from us. At least for now. Some states are in major crisis. More on that later.

We are part of a system that has done a very good job making people believe the lie that shots are mandatory for school. When we hear information regarding school vaccinations, all parents hear is that unless their child gets his shots, he will not be allowed to go to school. This is NOT true.

EXEMPTIONS

In the book, Vaccination is NOT Immunization, written by Dr. O’Shea he shares:

Mandated means that there are laws about something.

Mandatory means you have to do something or other. Two entirely different concepts. Vaccines are mandated, but they are not mandatory, as school officials like to pretend.

There are exemptions from vaccination, in every state. Mississippi & West Virginia are the only states that don’t allow Religious and only allow Medical exemptions.

1. All states have a medical exemption.

2. All states allow a religious exemption to vaccination except California, Mississippi and West Virginia.

3. Philosophical exemption.  The following 17 states allow exemption to vaccination based on philosophical, personal or conscientiously held beliefs: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

Proof of Immunity
Some states will allow exemptions to vaccination for certain diseases if proof of immunity can be shown to exist. Immunity can be proven if you or your child have had the natural disease or have been vaccinated. You have to check your state laws to determine which vaccines in your state can be exempted if proof of immunity is demonstrated.

Private medical laboratories can take blood (a titer test) and analyze it to measure the level of antibodies, for example, to measles or pertussis that are present in the blood. If the antibody level is high enough, according to accepted standards, you have obtained proof of immunity and may be able to use this for an exemption to vaccination.

Every school is required by law to provide exemption forms. But they don’t.  You must know about your state’s exemption form before you go in.

I overheard a conversation at my children’s school during registration this year.

School Official: “You are not going to be able to register your child for Kindergarten today until his shot record is up-to-date.”

Momma: “I’m not going to be able to get him caught up on his shots before school starts.”

School Official: “I’m sorry, you won’t be able to register for school.”

Me: “That’s actually not true. Your child can register for school today. You just need to fill out the exemption form.”

Momma: “I don’t necessarily need an exemption form. My husband lost his job and we don’t have insurance so we can’t afford to get him caught up on his shots.”

School Official: “Sorry, you won’t be able to register for school today”

Not only was what that mother told a lie, but my question is, how has this lie perpetuated so far and so deep that even school officials don’t know any better? And why are children being DENIED an education for a “law” that doesn’t really exist? In my state and at that school, all the mother had to do was sign the exemption form. She was not told the truth. There is something very wrong about that.

EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT

I know in my state, a parent can write their own exemption or simply sign the exemption form provided by the school.

Sample Statement of Exemption:

Under State of ____ Revised Statutes 17:170 Sec E, I hereby claim exemption from the immunization requirement for Philosophical/Personal reasons. 

(Statement of dissent for philosophical/personal reasons.)

I understand that in the event of an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease at the location of the educational institution or facility the student attends, the administrators of the educational institution or facility, upon the recommendation of the office of public health, may exclude the student from attendance until the incubation period has expired or I present evidence of immunization. 
_____________________________ Student signature
_____________________________ Date
_____________________________ Parent or Guardian’s signature (if required)

In my particular state, it’s that easy!

Unfortunately, it is not that easy in every state.

In fact, this “law” is only getting worse. Right now in West Virginia, there is a very tragic story taking place with a 5 year old girl named Ryleigh. She is being denied her education because she was told she could not come back to school because she needed a DTaP booster shot. She’s already received all 4 of her boosters shots, she just received the 4^th dose too early (over 3 years early) and they are telling the mother she needs another booster because she got the 4th dose too early. Sounds too crazy to be true right? It is complete insanity what is happening. You can read more of her story (HERE).

I’ve been speaking with (and hope to help work with) the founder of Mississippi Parents For Vaccine Rights. Their hopes & needs are simple. In their own words: “Mississippi parents do not have the legal right to select, delay, or opt-out of vaccines unless they homeschool. There are 48 states that DO allow that right. We want to be the 49th”.

As a parent, I will end with their mission statement, which I think we can all relate to:
