Vaccination Myths

A friend sent the following article to me this morning, and I have to say, it is a MUST READ. I have posted a lot of this information already, but the super great thing about this article is that it has TONS of information all in one article. It is an article listing 10 myths about vaccinations and supporting documentation and references.

If you have kids or know someone who does (again, that's all of us, right), I URGE YOU to read this article. It's a little lengthy but well worth the time you will spend on it. We have got to stop turning a blind eye to what is going on with vaccinations and the children we love.

Here are the myths the author, Alan Phillips, lists:

1. Vaccines are completely safe.
2. Vaccines are very effective.
3. Vaccines are the main reason for low disease rates in the U.S. today.
4. Vaccination is based on sound immunization theory and practice.
5. Childhood diseases are extremely dangerous.
6. Polio was one of the clearly great vaccination success stories.
7. My child had no short-term reaction to vaccination, so there is nothing to worry about.
8. Vaccines are the only disease prevention option available.
9. Vaccines are legally mandated, and thus unavoidable.
10. Public health officials always place health above other concerns.

He follows each of these myths with facts, references, and truths. READ THIS ARTICLE!
