What Vaccines Are Safe Which Are Not

Most new parents are faced with a dilemma very soon after their child is born and especially during the early months of wellness visits with their new pediatrician.   Some new parents will be taken aback when they are asked to give consent for the hepatitis B vaccine which is universally suggested in nearly all maternity wards in the US.

During this stressful time most parents acquiesce and consent to a shot developed to combat high rates of hepatitis B found primarily in people who use illicit intravenous drugs and/or engage in unprotected sex with multiple partners.  For parents, who are critical thinkers, the often significant push to administer this vaccine to their new born raises alarm and opens the door to more questioning.

At the baby’s first or 2nd pediatric visit the 2nd does of HepB is given often with 5 other vaccine doses.  Many parents at this time naturally exhibit a gut instinct telling them this feels excessive and risky to their infants health.  Many pediatricians are ready to either hard sell and bully the parent, often with emotional appeals to fear or allow the parent to pick one or two of the shots, spreading out the risk.

Parents who felt unease often at this point begin their own research.  Once they’ve looked beyond the vaccine myth curtain and discover vaccines are not treated like all the other classes of drugs, not tested for safety against a placebo control, manufacturers are protected from any harms their products may cause, that legally vaccines are categorized as “unavoidably unsafe” in federal statue parents are then tasked to weigh the risks of the disease these shots are promoted to protect us from verses the very real potential of harms a vaccine may pose for their child.

That’s a very tall order for parents.  However, once people discover that the FDA and CDC are agencies that are the most captured by corporate power and no longer have an honest focus on public health and even worse have become part of the nexus of defense and intelligence bio-warfare programs parents find they have no choice but to seek alternative information for the sake of their and their child’s health.

A doctor who has researched and written extensively has produce an article that tries to help parents in making these critical decisions.   As we do not give medical advice here at PA-CHD we suggest people who would like to further explore information that may help them make immunization decisions for their child read this article.
