In 2018, the DHHS finally admitted to RFK Jr et al that none of the coerced childhood vaccines per CDC schedule have been tested for safety in pre-licensing inert placebo tests. NONE.

As a child I had both measles and chickenpox. Both were mild discomfort, didn't last long, maybe a few days. Other than the tetanus vaccine, all the others seem all risk and no benefit. Educated now from reading "Turtles all the way Down" and of course our Midwestern Doctor

Fifty years ago, I read info pertaining to how the immune system works. It wrote about the lymph glands which were located in different locations around the body. These glands produced white corpuscles which attacked any type of foreign protein, which was in the bloodstream. It could be food particles, which were not compatible with the individual's blood chemistry; or it could be some kind of bacteria caused by a wound, etc. The job of these white corpuscles was to attack and wipe out anything which was harmful. After reading this information I no longer believed in shots. If I had known years earlier the ingredients in these injections, I would never have permitted my children to have them. I was aware in the fifties that aluminum and mercury were very toxic; and formaldehyde was embalming fluid. When the body can be harmed by something as simple as eating the wrong foods, injecting dangerous toxic matter is akin to murder. How could anyone in the medical profession accept these so-called "vaccines"? Didn't they study the Immune System in Med School? Didn't they learn what ingredients were in them? As a mother I was appalled to think that my trusted doctor knew so little. It set me on a lifelong journey to do my own research, so I could help my family and others keep well.

Outstanding, as all of your Substacks have been, but for this I add “exceptional.” As an RN, I also appreciate the fact that you wrote this for a non-healthcare professional audience. Too many health “stories” that are targeted for laypeople are written inappropriately. Thanks for making this extremely important topic so accessible for so many people.

Thank you for the thorough evaluation. The Dtap replaced the DTP vaccine. The following is my personal experience and should not be interpreted as medical advice. I have been in practice for 26 years and COVID changed the direction of my practice. I no longer accept insurance, we focus on functional medicine, obesity medicine and regenerative medicine. I do not have vaccines in our office so "primary care" is not part of our mix of services. There was a huge lawsuit where the parents did not want the Prevnar vaccine for their child. Their child ended up dying of Strep pneumonia and they won the lawsuit because they alleged the doctor did not tell them their child could die from the disease. If they knew that they would have agreed to the Prevnar vaccine. The AAP has a form that pediatricians can use for parents who do not want to vaccinate their child but they are also quick to point out it may not hold up in court. This is one reason why pediatricians will not see children whose parents refuse to vaccinate. The doctor has protection when vaccinated but are put in a "gray" zone medically legally if they do not vaccinate.

I personally do not like to sign up for every vaccine available. Often I was "roped" into the influenza vaccine since I worked as an ER doctor and hospitalist. It was not unusual to see my fellow doctors still become sick from the seasonal flu and could not understand why I was "still standing". I shared my recipe for elderberry syrup, Xlear nasal spray, Moringa along with other supplements. I will say that if I woke up with a bat flying around our house or got bit by a raccoon, I will head directly to my nearest ER and start the rabies series. If someone develops rabies they will most likely not survive.

Thank you! This is a great concise article to share. I appreciate the structure of questions. When I pull out my books most of my friends roll their eyes at me, its Paula the anti-vaxxer again. That's okay I fortunate to have friends and family who never ostracized me.

Appreciate the valuable information you provide. I worry about my younger grandchildren when they get regularly required vaccinations, including annual flu vaccine, and pray they aren’t injured. After covid scam, I no longer think any vaccinations are necessary or effective.

Vaccines are useless and poisonous.

That is the clearest, most concise and most informative article I have read on this complex, confusing, controversial topic. We are indebted to you. CDC and state public health authorities ought to be so well informed before it contemplates crashing society's safety gates with Big Pharma's vaccine marketing campaigns.

The time and thought that you put into your work is admirable. You have given me some things to think over...especially how think about Covid. I still will not get the shot...but that wasn’t your point anyway. The more knowledge I have the better decisions I make. Thank you.

Where are the long term studies that show using numerous vaccines over time are harmless? Or even safe and effective verses not using any vaccine at all? These studies do not exist because they would destroy big pharma's fake vaccine empire. Why is big pharma afraid to prove their products, such as vaccines, really are safe and they really work?

The trials and studies, if they exist, are always fudged with the use of "perfectly" healthy specimens and the axing of negative data. It's all a con game and no doctor can prove otherwise using real scientific data independent of the long arms of big pharma. Shame on the medical field for blindly accepting that vaccines are safe and effective without ANY proof.

In the last three years mainstream medicine utilized a massive propaganda campaign to browbeat people into taking vaccines. If vaccination is truly efficacious, why did they resort to doing this? For this fact alone is the best reason never to take another vaccine ever again. The last time I took a vaccine is when I was a kid and had no choice. I would never take another vaccine and I'm not interested in hearing about ANY benefits. Doctors have lost the right to convince me as they have already caused so much demonstrable harm worldwide.

I recommend this video of an injustice of immense proportions! Watch the testimony of a veteran Nova Scotia nurse who was fired for refusing to take the jab. https://mathewaldred.substack.com/p/veteran-nurse-vonnie-allen-betrayed

thank you for confirming what i believe about chicken pox and shingles. in my entire life to my late 20's, i had only met one person who had shingles. in my mind shingles was some old long vanished victorian disease that only occurred in Dickens novels, something that had gone the way of Bubonic plaque and rickets.

in those days, i worked with dancer/ choreographer Martha Graham some years before her death (1991) at age 96 and well remember when she got shingles; she told me it was horrible. like i said, up to that point i thought shingles was something the only existed in novels.

i didn't come across another case of shingles until i was maybe in my 50's and the Zostavax was out and being recommended for people my age. not that i ever considered it. luckily, i was born in 1953 and so missed the great vaccine push. watching my cousin's wife spend a year in a wheelchair with GBS after the failed 1976 swine flu vaccine turned me off flu shots forever.

but in that one year, i met 3 people who had shingles which seemed statistically impossible to me.

they were all men in their early 20's, far too young for the vaccine, assuming it worked at all, to do them any good. they did not know each other and did not live near each other. one was a NYC stagehand who had worked with my boyfriend and told us about his case of shingles at a holiday BBQ after his recovery in answer to our polite "how are you." one was a dance student at a washington DC area college where my summer assistant served as the costume director. he was scheduled to perform and had to miss it because of shingles. there was a frantic shuffling around of costumes and rehearsals to get his cover ready to go on. i don't remember the details of the third guy, except that he was also 23 like the others.

this made such an impression on me. i'm not a scientist or a doctor but i was convinced that the lack of natural chicken pox exposure was causing this once very rare condition that only happened in the super elderly like Miss Graham to reach such epidemic proportions (yes, to me meeting 3 people in the same year of the same age with the same disease constituted an epidemic!) that a vaccine was now "needed."

we are making things worse with our interference. these days you hear a lot about "how serious" measles, mumps and chicken pox are and yet, i don't remember my parents being overly concerned when i got them. obviously i stayed home and there was a quarantine sign on our door, but aside from making me oatmeal baths to ease the itching, no one called for last rites or got hysterical. it was a normal part of childhood. now, of course, if 600 people in a year get measles, it's some devastating thing and we all get to hear how many 100's of thousands of kids die every year. but those kids are dying of poverty, poor nutrition and bad water. measles just pushes them over the edge.

ps- my BF and i are two of many people who lost our jobs (mine of 40 years!) because we would not take the covid vaccine.

Thank you for taking the time to research and write this extremely comprehensive, enlightening post. Pre-pandemic, it had never occurred to me to question the childhood vaccine program. Now my son and daughter in law, who hope to have children, are more than open to wise guidance in treading this minefield. Our eyes have been opened to widespread medical and pharmaceutical malfeasance. For this we are grateful to the covid scandal. We have found Dr Paul Thomas's "The Vaccine Friendly Plan" a helpful handbook as we think ahead. It's available on Amazon. I am sharing this post with others in my circle who have or may have children. Based on this and your two articles on anti-depressants (also eye opening), I am switching to a paid subscription to support your work.

Kevin fell for the fallacy of "saving lives":

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-fallacy-of-saving-lives

Manufacturers are well aware that their products are toxic and their indemnity alone should have raised a red flag after 1984, when they were granted legal immunity.

Modern "Medicine" is a total failure with its compartmentalization; something that should be reserved for patented R&D. Most doctors have next to no clue of what they are doing:

After reading more and more about vaccines, I’ll never get a routine scheduled one again. As below, or above, if I get bitten by a suspected rabid animal, I will begin rabies treatment immediatly.
