As unpleasant as it is, we’ve all met them. Those rabid, downright hostile parents claiming vaccines are destroying our nation’s youth and deteriorating the health of children for generations to come. Of course, we listen to the CDC, the NIH and the Department of Health and Human Services. We listen to Matt Lauer, Andersen Cooper, Dr. Oz, Nancy Snyderman and just about everybody who is ANYBODY on TV! We know these poor misguided parents, as wrong as they may be, need to blame someone for their children’s various conditions. They will point out time and time again that America, despite being “the Greatest Nation in the World” laments a childhood mortality ranking of 38th on the world stage (according to WHO statistics). Meaning, more kids live to see their fifth birthday in countries like Poland and the Czech Republic, than here in America. While we don’t know why this is, we know that despite being the most vaccinated nation in the world, this dramatic rise in chronic illness has nothing to do with vaccines. Now it is more important than ever for you to protect your mind and the minds of your friends and family against the ridiculous propaganda these unstable celebrity-following parents intend to proliferate. Please print this off and keep it handy for those uncomfortable times you are confronted with their unwelcome opinions.
1) Vaccines shed. This means oftentimes they cause the very illnesses they are designed to prevent. So, if you get your kid the flu shot and take him on a playdate with your whacky anti-vaxxer friend she is going to go on and on about how her kid is probably going to get sick because of what you’ve just done. She’s going to scream at you like the whackabilly banshee she is for not reading the package insert. Seriously, who has time for that? Just listen to your doctor and skim that Material Safety Data sheet his nurse gives you. Says right on it how rare the bad things that can happen really are! Your nutty friend is going to claim the flu shot has never been proven clinically effective but yet carries all sorts of devastating side effects. You are better off just not mentioning it to her. And when your child subsequently becomes ill from the shot, and you take him into emergency care and they administer another vaccine to “minimize the symptoms” that is also information better kept to yourself. Your fringe friend will talk about how you just gave your kid a buttload of Thimerosal. Which we all know has been taken OUT of the flu shot. Just ask your doctor! He will tell you because that is what his smoking-hot pharma rep told him! Just trace amounts of mercury Mr. Man! Wink, wiggle. If the opinion of a big mucky-muck doctor isn’t good enough for you, go look up the lot number of the vaccines your child was given. If it is still in there (which we are pretty sure it isn’t) you will have a really hard time calculating exactly how much your child got. Even if you do the math. . . and it seems like, you know, twice what the EPA recommends for a man weighing 225lbs. . . let it go. That stuff goes right to the brain tissue of a developing infant or toddler. There is no way you will be able to confirm or deny if they got enough to cause neurological damage. Standard blood, urine and hair tests will not reveal the truth. And I mean, why do you need to know? The important thing is you did your duty for the herd!
2) Hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus (DPT, DtaP), poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), varicella, and Hib DO NOT CONTAIN ABORTED FETSUSES. Let us think for just a moment about how ridiculous that is! I repeat, these vaccines DO NOT CONTAIN ABORTED HUMAN FETUSES no matter what those relentless anti-vaxxers tell you. What they do contain are special ingredients, labeled WI-38, RA27/3, and MRC5 which are actually grown on human diploid tissue that was taken from aborted human fetuses. Very different. How could you fit an aborted human fetus into a little vial when you already have so many viruses and adjuvants to contend with? So, yes, the tissue of aborted fetuses, containing their specific DNA which has never been tested for long (or even short-term) effects is in those shots. When you vaccinate a child with these shots you are injecting the DNA from another human being into them.
3) Vaccines saved the world from infectious disease. PERIOD. End of story. You never, EVER want to engage an anti-vaxxer on this one. They are going to come at you with all kinds of hard to understand science, medical and historical data. Some of these nutsos walk around with binders full of their kids labs just to prove their point. They are going to spout off about modern sanitation and clean water. We all know that, if Bill Gates was not vaxxing those poor babies and their mommies in Africa, the diseases they would be carrying back to the village where they drink the same water they piss and defecate in it would be 100 times worse! This is when you know it is time to just throw in the towel and say, “Hey, anti-vaxxer, live and let live. You say tomato, I say tomaht-oh! You say scientific theory, I say conspiracy theory!” You really haven’t a leg to stand on here because technically there is no proof that vaccines eradicated polio or any other infectious disease. If you delve into actual data, both medical (studies) and political (propaganda), you find that message has been repeatedly asserted by those who profit off the sale of vaccines. You find that the inventors of most vaccines are silenced when they discover the end-result of their research may be doing more harm than good. See Dr. Jonas Salk, polio vaccine and Dr. Diane Harper, Gardasil for examples. But, that is really neither here nor there because, THE Dr. Nancy Snyderman told us all to “get (y)our damn flu shot!” She would know, right? She is a TV doctor! Not just anybody can be a TV doctor. You have to be able to read press releases, endorse products, and talk about special pills and drinks that can take you down two full dress sizes in five days to be a TV doctor. Very, very serious stuff. So when these anti-vaxxer whackjobs come at you with their scientific studies just remind yourself, you can’t teach stupid.
4) The typical non-vaccinating parent has a master’s degree and resides in a dual-income household earning 75K plus annually. Whatever. Prove it. I know lots and lots of low-income parents and uber-rich people who don’t vaccinate. I know, interracial couples, gay and lesbian couples, single parents, engineers, DOCTORS, scientists, entrepreneurs, restaurant workers, professors, artists, garbage collectors, teachers, actors, speech pathologists, iron workers, phlebotomists, podiatrists, truck drivers, gardeners, chefs, data analysts, oenologists, Southeast Asians, African-Americans, Amish, Mexicans, Irish, French, Latinos, Portuguese, Germans, Ethiopians, Chinese, American Indians, Russians, Moroccans, atheists, polytheists, Wiccans, Catholics, Buddhists, Lutherans, Orthodox Jews, Hassidic Jews, Muslims, Baptists, freaks, geeks, and Greeks who do not vaccinate. Don’t let the anti-vaxxers fool you into thinking it’s just the super-educated upper-middle-class folks who don’t vaccinate. Many people from all walks of life, do not vaccinate. I am pretty sure the only common thread among them is that they can read. They mistakenly think they can just pick up a vaccine package insert and read it without a doctor explaining it to them. Out of curiosity I did this once. I read the insert on the Prevnar vaccine. The first paragraph of the first page of several pages of adverse reactions told me, “. . .The most commonly reported serious adverse events were in the ‘Infections and infestations’ system organ class including bronchiolitis (0.9%, 1.1%), gastroenteritis, (0.9%, 0.9%), and pneumonia (0.9%, 0.5%) for Prevnar 13 and Prevnar respectively. There were 3 (0.063%) deaths among Prevnar 13 recipients, and 1 (0.036%) death in Prevnar recipients, all as a result of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).” Now, of course I freaked out because my child suffers severe, chronic gastroenteritis which may ultimately lead to the removal of a portion of his intestines. But, thankfully I took this insert to my doctor and he set me straight. First off, anybody can get gastroenteritis. It is very common these days. More and more kids are put on maintenance medications they will be on for life to help manage their severe bowel disease. Unlike vaccine injury, bowel issues in kids are not rare. He also put my mind at ease about the babies who died from Prevnar too. Kids die from SIDS after vaccination all the time but it’s the SIDS, a word that describes unexplained death in an infant, not the vaccination that kills them. Sadly this happens in older kids too and it’s called SUDC Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood. Many parents who do not understand how safe vaccines are think they are to blame when a child dies or falls into a coma so soon after their boosters. They will claim anaphylactic reactions, seizures, angioedema, peripheral neuropathy and Guillain-Barre syndrome occurred because of the shots, when in reality, all those ailments are really just unexplained. Thankfully, my doctor was able to explain away all this disturbing data so I could continue vaccinating in good conscience.

I loved it!
Lisa (The Rev), all I have to say is that there are no words I could possibly find to describe my admiration and thankfulness for every drop of blood, sweat and tears you have shed fighting for Noah and ALL the children, THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for the great article..
There are countries where you can think what you do not give your child vaccinated. The State says MANDATORY. If you do not let punished! This is terrible!
This topic brings about so much controversy and for what? Is it not enough that we share our stories relentlessly to people everywhere who usually shut us down and attempt to make us feel like crazies? Obviously we have knowledge in what we are talking about for we live it everyday. Why else would we share such sensitive information with others, like the pregnant mother at the doctor’s office waiting to get her flu shot? I mean if they have been through what we’ve been through they would be doing the same thing. Do they really think that a blog that strikes 50 plus replies repeatedly is coming from a source of whackos that don’t know what they are talking about. LJ, I think your article is one of the most beautiful posts I have read in quite some time. It really shows in the replies how disconnected we have become amongst each other and the lack of respect that we have towards each other to make the most educated decisions WE feel are right towards our children. I love the internet, I love my email, I love being able to quickly communicate via a text message, etc… However I feel that it has brought about a lack of empathy that used to exist amongst parents, because it can often times be misinterpreted as people seem to only look for key words in the topics they are reading. Since when is gastroenteritis something to be taken lightly or something that is “acceptable” for the greater good? If these opposing parents who deem me “crazy” spent one day in my life and changed the dozens of diarrhea filled diapers I do on a daily basis they might possibly change their views. This article does an outstanding job of showing a different perspective, which is what our community needs. Bravo LJ!
Great job on replying to the deliberately misleading ‘Citizen’ blogger, peeps! I have a great unoriginal idea! If any one of you have been to the website skepticalscience.com they have a list of common myths in a thermometer and then they debunk the myths in just a short sentence. You then can click on the sentences to expand on the thread and get the science of what they are saying in a basic, intermediate, and expert technical way. We need something like this for vaccines. Maybe a big hypodermic needle or something .
Trying to sift through the data is boggling. Someone please help! Or let me know what you think. [email protected]
Too bad so many people didn’t take it as sarcasm when it clearly is. Perhaps a big “THIS IS SARCASM!!!” at the top? LOL Great post!!
Tongue in cheek genius! 🙂
I got the small pox vaccine when i was a baby and that’s it. Until i was pregnant I had no idea that there are so many vaccines given now to babies. Thanks to a friend who told me to check out the ingredients and to read about the topic, and thank God for my open mindness (maybe because i was poisoned only once) I did have a look and was shocked. Also astonished how the ‘concerned citizens’ of the world are not reading the scientific papers and if yes not doing the due diligence around those pro vax studies. How they categorically reject any doubt and concern of other scientists about the ingredients of the vaccines and accept a witch hunt against those scientists. How they don’t see the statistics showing the diseases vaccinated against were decreasing before the vaccines. How they white wash the nasty stuff inside the shot. You have blood in your hands. There are thousands of diseases where there are no vaccines against. How is a crippled immune system going to fight against any of it properly…
We are no sheep and we won’t allow those snarling dogs to allow our babies to be poisoned. No parent should do it for my child and you wont expect from me doing this for yours. I remember a great poem from Nazim Hikmet :
You’re like a scorpion, my brother,
you live in cowardly darkness like a scorpion.
You’re like a sparrow, my brother,
always in a sparrow’s flutter.
You’re like a clam, my brother,
closed like a clam, content,
And you’re frightening, my brother,
like the mouth of an extinct volcano.
Not one, not five-
unfortunately, you number millions.
You’re like a sheep, my brother:
when the cloaked drover raises his stick,
you quickly join the flock
and run, almost proudly, to the slaughterhouse.
I mean you’re strangest creature on earth-
even stranger than the fish that couldn’t see the ocean for the water.
And the oppression in this world is thanks to you.
And if we’re hungry, tired, covered with blood,
and still being crushed like grapes for our wine,
the fault is yours-
I can hardly bring myself to say it,
but most of the fault, my dear brother, is yours.
Read the book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Katie,
Yes! What About Immunizations by Cynthia Cournoyer. Also, Vaccine Epidemic and of course…The Thinking Moms’ Revolution! Happy Reading!
Vaccines are junk science. Read the book titled “the curse of Louis Pasteur” and you will learn how his germ theory is the basis for modern medicine but even he knew it was junk! Men who understood what makes us sick have been buried in history and their truth hidden from us. All of this ugly has a common root and we need to kill it for all of our sake. Vaccines are about profit and nothing else. Make us and keep us sick over the long term. Look up the Profit Over Life website…it is an eye opener. Loved the OP as sarcasm is my second language. 😉
This is how Creationism gets taught in Science classes. This… pursuit of ignorance.
Tell me, Rev, do you drive a car? Are you aware that the Ford Pinto is prone to catch fire in rear-end collisions? And the Pontiac Fiero had engine fires at a rate of 0.07%! Why, then, would anyone drive a car? Is it because cars are generally regarded as safe, and one design flaw in a small sample did not taint the entire population. Even though, whether battery-powered or combustion-powered, you run a risk of your vehicle becoming a firebomb at any moment. It seems in this case the benefits outweigh the perceived consequences.
But being anti-vaccination goes even further. You endanger communities silently. You act as if the US is the only country in the world vaccinating; it isn’t. It seems all-too coincidental that every time a vaccine is introduced, rates of the target disease drop sharply. And when vaccination decreases, disease rates rise. In fact, they have a name for such coincidence: correlation, which, in a random double-blind sampling, can imply causation.
Now, this is globally (again, not just the US). A conspiracy of this magnitude would make the Kennedy assassination look like a Kindergarten class project. We’re talking Flat Earth Society here; the entire world is covering it up, bending light around corners with enormous mirrors and staging space flights/lunar landings just to make you think the world is round.
I understand that when our children are involved, risk is amplified. But why does it apply to vaccines and not to cars? Is it because you can see cars working every day just fine, but you don’t see vaccines working, you just see when things aren’t working right, and you blame the thing you don’t understand? Not to imply that you understand a car, but perhaps you have a better grasp on its workings than a vaccine.
Your choice to amplify a small risk to have it contend with a significant one is your own. Centuries of hard-data-backed science dating back to the days of inoculation (circa 18th century) vs. anecdotal evidence, personal testimony, and loose/falsified scientific links. It as just as appropriate to link vaccinations to gun violence and mass shootings in the US. There could be a correlation (in fact there probably is; vaccination rates are high, gun violence is high), but causality is a difficult thing to argue, primarily because there is no scientific link whatsoever. Population is also increasing, national debt is increasing… are we to link these effects to vaccinations too?
There is, however, a strong scientific link between immune-response and disease control, and from that arose a targeted approach (the vaccine) to eradicating diseases. Somehow, as if by magic, every time this treatment is introduced, disease rates drop independent of country or population sample.
I will leave you to find and evaluate the data for yourselves, because as stated “the only common thread among them is that they can read.” Unfortunately there is a large difference between being able to read and being able to correctly interpret (as demonstrated in the comments… made me chuckle a little bit). Ultimately the risk breaks down to this: will I have an autistic child, or will I have an autistic child at high risk for lockjaw, measles, polio, rubella, whooping cough… to name a few. PS – the Autism link was debunked. And ethylmercury, while not linked to any adverse effects (nor ever in high enough doses to be toxic to a 225lb man… where do you get this stuff?), has been removed as a preservative as a preventative measure.
You want to fight Autism and infant mortality… look elsewhere. There has to be a stronger link than “none.”
The only response that can be made to your comment is that you don’t put a car inside a human. So it can’t mess with us on that level. People do die in cars, and we all realize that. But like you said, the benefits outweigh the risks. That cannot be proven with many (if not all) vaccines.
But… it can, and it has. Apart from creating an alternate reality and monitoring it (which is impossible or at best highly unethical to quarantine an entire population in the name of settling this debate), there exists fairly strong evidence: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673697043341
Same population in a different time, different populations at the same time, one overarching variable changed (whooping cough vaccination present or not), whooping cough incidents correlate (increased vaccination = decreased whooping cough, and vice versa). This is not mentioning Polio, Rubella, Measles, or any of the other diseases that exhibit the same trend. Everyone has their own criteria on what they accept as proof, but cases like these at least make a strong argument.
Then there’s the Flu vaccine, the proverbial Ford Pinto. Efficacy is widely debated (which, on a personal note, is why I don’t bother with it).
I am not required by law to drive a car.
Concerned Citizen, you make a good point. But it begs the question, where are those Pintos and Fieros today? Well, I spent a little time researching that. Seems they’ve been removed from the market because they are not safe. How do we know they are not safe? We observed that , after a certain number of reported accidents, the Pinto was, in fact, catching fire. I suspect that this involved quite a bit of “anecdotal evidence and personal testimony” because I’d think that most scientists were not eyewitness observers to the numerous fires that resulted from collisions involving the Pinto. And how about that Fiero? More reports that the engine caught fire by the owner of the vehicle while it was being driven or perhaps by a casual street observer who happened to witness it spontaneously combust. These cars were then deemed “unsafe”, because applying your logic, it seemed all-too coincidental that when Pintos and Fieros were removed from the market, rates of cars spontaneously combusting dropped sharply. And, conversely, when those cars were being driven, engine fires and combustion rates rose. In fact, as you point out, they have a name for such coincidence: correlation, which, in a random double-blind sampling, can imply causation. But see, HERE is the thing. We don’t have results of random double-blind samplings when it comes to the current vaccine schedule. Why? Oh that’s simple. The samplings/studies have never been done. Ever. Not once.
As parents, if after we do the hard research, read the inserts, question the studies, (even those “centuries old”) apply the anecdotes to science, seek out other “drivers” or, in the case of vaccines, parents/doctors…. if we then pensively choose to not adhere to the current vaccination schedule that has NEVER been tested for safety and efficacy, is it fair for you to expect us to simply cast that aside merely because you think us to be conspiracy theorists? Should we then sheepishly, against our best educated and thoughtful judgment, take a chance and buy the Pinto for our newly licensed teenager? follow an untested vaccine schedule? Should we just forget that we have the intelligence and forethought and wisdom to actually THINK and decide what is best for us and our children? My apologies; remind me…Who is silently endangering who, you say?
🙂
I’ve read, they actually HAVE done studies..
The results Have never been released to the public because of the negative results. Haha.
I can not even believe that someone would even have the handle Concerned Citizen considering that they compare human life to cars. Appalling and callous to say the least which explains a lot….
^^^^ hearted, Sue Judge!
<3<3<3!!!!!!!!
Concerned Citizen: I’m in 100% agreement with everything you said. Only problem is that this site, and therefore the majority of the commenters here, are biased in favor of the article, so you’re unlikely to garner much support. Though I’m just one person, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
But people hurt by the Ford Pinto could sue Ford for damages which is why there is no more Ford Pinto. People hurt by vaccines cannot sue the manufacturer or the doctor who gave them the vaccine. There is no incentive for the vaccine company to make a safer shot as Justice Sotomayer pointed out.
And thimerosal is still in the majority of flu shots produced.
Concerned citizen, I applaud you but this audience will never change their minds
I just happened to come across this, Thank-you for writing this article! I never knew that vaccines contain fetus DNA in them. This really freaks me out, and I DO NOT WANT that in my children! Unfortunately my 6 year old is vaccinated and my 20 month old is up to date so far. Is there a way to detox? the body of previous vaccinations. And would it be dangerous to stop vaccinating my toddler before she is finished the ones she already started?
Thank-you for educating me,
Haven.
Homeopathy can help counteract the effects of vaccinations. You need to find a homeopath who was trained in the method of homeopathic drainage therapy.
http://www.rtl.org/prolife_issues/LifeNotes/VaccinesAbortion_FetalTissue.html
So they aren’t aborted fetuses; saying so would be like saying you have pieces of your great^15 grandparent in you. Okay, you probably do (1-or-2 DNA bases might have made it that far, or at least their constituent carbon atoms), but not to any significant degree (i.e. greater than parts-per-10^100 (googol)). These particular vaccines are made from weakened strains of viruses that were cultured in the children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children’s children of the original fetal cells.
Basically it’s like someone not accepting a kidney from your descendents 1000 years from now because they don’t want part of you in them.
Not the same – sorry to burst your pseudoscientific bubble but: the immune system is designed to reject DNA which was not part of the zygote in the initial joining of sperm and ova.
To make it simple for you, think about organ transplant, ok? They go to all of that effort to find a compatible donor and, oh dear, the recipient of that life-saving organ must now be on immunosuppressant medication for the rest of their life.
The main difference here is that organ transplant is done to preserve a failing life.
Vaccination is simply inserting that other human DNA because it’s OOPS! accidentally in there because we haven’t been bothered to work on the science of eliminating it from the vaccine AND it’s injected into an otherwise healthy baby, bypassing ALL of the child’s natural defences.
The human foetal DNA is not a functional part of the vaccine – it’s not required, it’s just along for the ride because they haven’t filtered it out.
So what does the immune system do? Why, it makes antibodies to the DNA or specific parts of the DNA. Imagine that!
Have you ever heard of auto immune disease? Stuff like juvenile diabetes, juvenile arthritis, juvenile myositis, chrohns, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, hashimotos, graves, rheumatoid arthritis? ok, I think you get the idea.
Show me the independant, long term, inert-placebo controlled studies proving that there is no causation from the vaccines & I’ll be satisfied. CAUTION: I want to see the actual paper, in it’s entirety, including methods, results, discussion, conclusions and especially the acknowledgements – not just a piddley abstract. Thanks.
Yes there are ways to detox starting with juicing fresh organic vegetables and fruits and sticking more judiciously to an all organic diet. Chelation and oxygen therapies can be used, but normally under more severe circumstances, as when a child develops symptoms of autism, ADHD, etc. Antioxidant products are good for everyone. Check Dr. Mercola web page for excellent articles on this topic.
All I know is both my parents got the flu shot this season, and both of them got really ill. Ingredients in vaccines include MSG, GMOs, formaldehyde, aluminum, mercury called thimerosal, and the other questionable ingredients.
MSG!?!? Where are you people getting this crap? That is a flavoring agent that is a food additive. Not to mention… it is a naturally-occurring amino acid that your own body synthesizes. Glutamic acid. In the presence of sodium the hydrogen is exchanged for the sodium ion, making… monosodium glutamate. Mono meaning “one”, sodium being… well, sodium, and glutamate being the anion of glutamic acid.
The same place you can get it. The FDA website, and National Vaccine. Though it also can be found on FluMist website, CDC and other websites that contain information found in the FluMist Package Insert.
http://www.nvic.org/vaccines-and-diseases/Influenza/flufacts.aspx
“How is the vaccine made?
FluMist is prepared by introducing influenza viruses into eggs where they are allowed to multiply. Fluid from the eggs is processed and sucrose, potassium phosphate and monosodium glutamate (MSG) are added as stabilizers. The antibiotic Gentamicin is also added during the manufacturing process. FluMist is a live virus vaccine and does not contain any preservatives.”
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM123743.pdf
Page 10 of 22,
“Each pre-filled refrigerated FluMist sprayer contains a single 0.2 mL dose. Each 0.2 mLdose contains
10
6.5-7.5
FFU (fluorescent focus units) of live attenuated influenza virus reassortants of each of the three
strains: A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2), and B/Wisconsin/1/2010. Each 0.2 mL
dose also contains 0.188 mg/dose *monosodium glutamate*, 2.00mg/dose hydrolyzed porcine gelatin,
2.42 mg/dose arginine, 13.68 mg/dose sucrose, 2.26 mg/dose dibasic potassium phosphate, and 0.96
mg/dose monobasic potassium phosphate. Each dose contains residual amounts of ovalbumin
(< 0.24 mcg/dose), and may also contain residual amounts of gentamicin sulfate (< 0.015 mcg/mL), and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (< 0.37mcg/dose). FluMist contains no preservatives."
To answer your other question about the MSG and is naturally-occurring amino acid; It would not be the first time that a synthetic version would be rejected by the body. We see it in several other drugs/therapies such as Enzyme Thearpy, Thyroid medicine, Hormone replacement and Organ transplants.
From personal experince and other feedback from suffers they can have abodominal cramping, passing out in addition to below.
Just to give you a place to start, your research. Department of Health and Human Services • National Institutes of Health
http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/foodallergy/understanding/pages/foodintolerance.aspx#other
Food additives
“Another type of food intolerance is a reaction to certain products that are added to food to enhance taste, add color, or protect against the growth of microbes. Compounds such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and sulfites are tied to reactions that can be confused with food allergy.
•MSG is a flavor enhancer. When taken in large amounts, it can cause some of the following:
◦Flushing
◦Sensations of warmth
◦Headache
◦Chest discomfort
These passing reactions occur rapidly after eating large amounts of food to which MSG has been added.
•Sulfites are found in food for several reasons:
◦They have been added to increase crispness or prevent mold growth.
◦They occur naturally in the food.
◦They have been generated during the winemaking process.
Sulfites can cause breathing problems in people with asthma.
The FDA has banned sulfites as spray-on preservatives for fresh fruits and vegetables. When sulfites are present in foods, they are listed on ingredient labels.”
Hope this helps!
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm
The CDC clearly listed MSG as an ingredient in vaccines. It is public information… that is where we get this “crap” from.
And it begs the question… why are so many people now allergic to MSG? Could it be that it is being injected into the body, bypassing the digestive system and instead, eliciting an immune response from the recipient?
Hahahaha! I love this article!! FUNNY! Didn’t catch on right away until “She’s going to scream at you like the whackabilly banshee she is for not reading the package insert. Seriously, who has time for that? ” LOL. Yeah who has time for that? Heaven forbid anyone actually research what they are injecting into a tiny little human.
I agree it took time to decipher the parody. Hope literal people don’t get turned off!
Thanks for posting this! I’ve become increasingly more uneasy about vaccinating my children and with my 5th baby I finally felt so uncomfortablethat I haven’t done it. Is there a book you rescinded that contains ask this information?
A book you recommend that contains all of this info. Sorry for the Swyping typos. 🙂
Applause!
At first I started to read and was like “ewe”! As a nonvaxer I totally don’t act like that!Then as u continue through the article u catch on. Yes, I got it as soon as I hit #2. Thanks 4 the lite hearted article though yes a very serious and controversial subject.
Being an Anti-Vaxxer, “This was great!” Even if I wasn’t an anti-vaxxer my son is allergic to eggs and cannot have the few with them in ex. chickenpox or flu. A good friend ran to get her child vaccinated. . . I had asked her politely to please not come to my home for a few weeks until her child would not cause my son to get sick. She went crazy and screamed and yelled. To make a long story short… everyone in her house including the child got the flu. . coincidence . . .maybe. . .maybe not. . . but we all have rights and as I respect others they need to respect ours too! Remember everyone. . .we are not drones. . open your eyes read a book and educate. . . “think . . . think. . .think.” Quote by Winnie the Poo 🙂
This is the most unarticulated article I’ve ever read targeted at those who understand the risk of vaccinations and choose not to. Unpleasant as it may be, the Rev’s rant is worse than any I have heard on this matter, and I’ve fielded a few including people who flip over a cereal box to regulate their child’s diet and take their dry cleaners to chemical friendly establishments due to allergies, but get angry at the suggest that they should bother to research what exactly is being injected into their bodies. The US vaccination schedule has increased greatly since 1985, adding an increasing number of shots that the Rev cannot guarantee first do no harm (i.e. long term chronic illnesses). Please do not get me started on the HPV vaccine and it’s clinical trials on young women in remote places. This article is so full of factual and historical errors regarding vaccinations http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/vaccine-decision/ingredients.html and parents who practice homeopathic healthcare published under the ironic title of “The Thinking Mom’s Revolution?;” I sincerely hope this goes viral as an example of what a hysterical Over-Vaxxer rant sounds like. Inject away, but please respect my right to not.
…umm… I don’t think you “got it”. This “rant” was satire… or tongue-in-cheek… or sarcasm… one of those. This was a spoof. Relax. TheRev is on your side.
This article was written in satire… It appears that you’ve missed that.
Yeah you totally misunderstood the article. Try reading the whole thing again.
You are joking, right? The whole article was about NOT vaxxing.
Lol, pretend it’s Sat. Nite Live and chill.
Thanks everyone for your kind words and support! Barbara…I’ve had to send this message out repeatedly today, but I am glad–tells me people are reading! This was satire. The entire piece was written as a scathing indictment on the medical industrial complex. Please reread 🙂 Respectfully, lj goes
Yeah… I guess if you read it like satire it’s actually is very well written; sending it viral for another reason. 🙂
phenomenal! =) A great article =)
Wow. Well done Rev. Sharing this one far and wide!
Just because you use the label “thinking” doesn’t mean to say you have all the facts, or are thinking in the right direction. As an escapee from Big Pharma, I am very aware of how trials are thrown or proved, how profit is first and foremost with a drug or vaccine, and how ongoing effects that impact the immune system aren’t readily apparent. Because a child doesn’t “drop dead” or have immediate and obvious adverse results from a vaccine doesn’t mean it is safe, or that it has no implications to a person’s health ongoing. And if you look at demographics, history, sanitation factors, and other aspects of living conditions, vaccines are not the major player in eradicating diseases. They happened to show up at the right time. Most vaccines are detrimental to health, but these studies are carefully concealed.
Barb, the article is a satire – she’s actually on your side 🙂
Thanks, Rev. I needed that.
Too farkling true!!! Sharing with all my friends and family who are just the way I used to be before vaccine injury! We have reached a couple with our common sense but I can’t stop until I rip the blinders off of em all! Well done my friend, well done!
Sadly, too many will not “get” the THINKING persons sarcastic manner of speak that is deserving of a “name” and added to webster. It’s become another common thread/language in our culture. Google sometime, Dr. Randel Tent, THINKER/Chiro from MI, he’s put out some utubes that are worth a viewing for all THINKERS who enjoy this brand of sarcasm/irony/audacity/egregious manner of speak.
I agree about Number 5.
Well written!
Hopefully it will be well read.
wow.. you just made it very easy for me to unsubscribe. Disappointing, unbalanced post. The trouble is you trust your doctor and pharmaceutical companies a little TOO much.
This article was sarcasm. 🙂 The point is NOT to trust the dr. and pharma too much.
Apparently you do not understand sarcasm…
Clare, we don’t want to lose you. It’s a fledgling organization/movement, take the satire with the sober.
another excellent article! #5 was especially poignant.
#5 is where it’s at. I don’t get too upset when I hear the verbatim CDC rhetoric (seriously, the same soundbite over and over) just for that reason.
I could only stomach reading 1/2 of the first bullet point…so I respond…YES Einstein, WE ARE 38th in mortality rate, behind Poland and the Czech Republic, connect the dots, vaccination is making our children sicker by the minute..by the second!
OOPs…too early in the morning…that’ll teach me to read only a portion of a blog…Well Done! 😛
You read it wrong.
Awesome post.
This is one of the best pieces I have read in awhile…
I am going to print it for my students to read!
Lovely…just lovely!
Im curious as to which class you’re teaching.. Could you share other reliable articles or info please?

Can you take my comment off 🙁 didn’t read article just posted blindly because a friend asked to me to add my usual comment to provac articles. won’t be doing that again, though this has never happened. Thanks. I did go back and read it and it’s great!
I made the same mistake Bridget, OOPS! 😛
this is so well done. thank you. #5 knocked it out of the park. 🙂
Another bow to you, Ma’am.
