Vaccinations - how many do you want?

Every so often a serious of events comes together and you find the coincidence intriguing.

Perhaps some of you saw the Richard Dimbleby lecture last week, on the BBC.  This years speaker was Bill Gates of that all invasive Microsoft company, a small little concern, I'm sure you have heard of.

I couldn't watch it at the time as I wasn't sure if my stomach could take it, so I watched it on the good old I-player, knowing I could stop it at any time and rant at the screen a bit...there, that gives you all a strange insight into my life!!  

Well Mr Gates clearly didn't disappoint and his talk on the generosity of the Melinda and Bill Gates foundation on the vaccination programme to rid the world of Polio, well Africa at least, raised the blood pressure!  If you want to watch it, I'm sure it is still on I-Player. 

As i sat typing this morning, I had Woman's Hour on Radio 4, in the background with a report from Ghana, as it is the 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day, The reporter is out there in a vaccination clinic.....Set up by GAVI,  Do google them!

In the report, she talks to this nurse who has just vaccinated a little 3month old with a 5:1 jab,plus pneumonia, plus rotavirus....A 3 month old baby, now with 7 major diseases in his body, in a way they would never occur or enter the body and no mature immune system to deal with them....The reporters response....'brilliant!' she said....

My response.....blood pressure now through the roof.

Then into my inbox comes a voice of sanity - just a pity we can't get it to the masses in Ghana and surrounding countries

Phillip Day on Vaccines......It lasts just 6 mins and worth every second.

Aren't we lucky that with the help of microsoft, we can google for the truth.....while those less so, have the head of microsoft saving them!!!

One thing i will just say about the Polio vaccine, the biggest outbreaks have been in the vaccinated and the risk of contracting wild polio is O!

In this video you'll discover:

• Why some children might become permanently listless and disinterested when vaccinated.
• The correlation between increased disease rates and the introduction of vaccinations.
• Why every parent needs to make an informed decision when vaccinating themselves and their children.
• The ingredients used in flu vaccines.
• How and why some ingredients used in vaccinations can seriously harm you.

 

I think what ever ones views on vaccines and their safety, I would like to think they have been formed knowing both sides and the risks - not just the short effects, but the accumulation and long term effects in the body.  Only knowing all the facts can you arrive at an informed decision.

If we choose not to equip ourselves with the knowledge and only take the word of doctors, that is up to the individual, at least we have ways of doing that and we either choose to or not.

 

When we are making the decision for our children, as responsible parents, who would not want to make sure they have as much knowledge as possible.In the time it takes to watch some repeat on the bbc, you can google a lot of info.

Is it ok to not give everyone that chance to hear both sides before they say yes or no to vaccination.  

Once the shot is in, there is no going back!  

A client yesterday, suffering from the ill effects of a holiday vaccine, said she just assumed they were safe as the doctor gave them to her...............nothing to say to that!
