1 Are Vaccines SAFE? Good question huh? But there is a simple answer. NO! Now I know a lot of people give their children vaccines. I also know a lot of parents tell me that they re children are required to get vaccines to get in school, but that simply isn t true. Yeah, I know, on the radio and television they say, No Shots, No School! but that s an outright lie and they know it s a bold faced LIE! So how does that make you feel to know that you are being lied too? Your child is not required by law to be vaccinated to enter school. As a matter of fact, the LAW is there to protect you from such outrageous claims, right? Every STATE offers what s called an Exemption and depending on your STATE, that exemption may be Medical, Religious or Philosophical. New York State allows for Medical and Religious exemptions! So Why Would Any Parent In Their Right Mind... Not Want To Vaccinate Their Child? Well, for very good reasons and I ll explain them in a moment. As a matter of fact, you ll probably be SHOCKED at the answer to this question but please remember, I am not telling you to not vaccinate your child. That is your decision and your decision alone. However, with that being said, I do believe you need to make an informed choice and both the pharmaceutical and medical industries are simply not keeping you well informed. Babies are born with protection against certain diseases because antibodies from the mother were passed to them through the placenta. After birth, breastfed babies get the continued benefits of additional antibodies in breast milk. Now here is what the medical community would like you to believe. The protection mom gives them is temporary. They ll tell you, immunization (vaccination) is a way of creating immunity to certain diseases by using small amounts of a killed or weakened microorganism that causes the particular disease. Now I m thinking, why would I want to GIVE my child something that can cause a particular disease? That Doesn t Make Even Sense To Me.

2 Then they tell you that vaccines stimulate the immune system to react as if there were a real infection it fends off the "infection" and remembers the organism so that it can fight it quickly - should it enter the body later. Now let s just say that s true. Do you think all babies immune systems, a perfect organism BEFORE vaccinated, can fend off this type of assault, especially if the baby isn t healthy? Babies die or get autism daily, just because in my opinion - they re vaccinated and bombarded with a myriad of dangerous, foreign chemicals. Some parents may hesitate to have their kids vaccinated because they're worried that the children will have serious reactions or may get the illness the vaccine is supposed to prevent. I say hooray for those parents. They get the BIG IDEA. Now the medical community will tell you the vaccines are weakened or killed and in some cases, only parts of the microorganism are used so they're unlikely to cause any serious illness. They even admit that some vaccines may cause mild reactions, such as soreness where the shot was given or fever, but serious reactions are rare. RARE BUT VERY POSSIBLE! I don t know about you, but when it comes to my kids, death is not something to mess around with nor is autism. Then they say risks of vaccinations are small compared with the health risks associated with the diseases they're intended to prevent. They are, in my opinion, setting up your child for more health problems later on. The doctors recommend that kids get combination vaccines (rather than single vaccines) whenever possible. Why would they do that? They are injecting bad stuff in the child and they are not giving the child time to react to it. Not a good thing in my opinion, but everyone has their own opinions. I just want to make sure you understand the complications that can occur both --- Now and Later. And last of all - they tell you, your doctor will determine the best vaccinations and schedule for your child. Check out the LIST of stuff that is IN a common vaccination, then you tell me who should determine the schedule and whether or not your baby gets a vaccination. (Look at what they re injecting your child with on the next few pages, then ask yourself are they really that SAFE and do I want to subject my children to this kind of medicine?) For me, my answer is, I don t think so!!! First of all, many vaccines do contain live viruses. 2

3 This includes the MMR and all shots for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. The rotavirus vaccine, RotaTeq, also contains several live rotavirus strains from both humans and monkeys. Polio vaccines contain several types of inactivated polio virus. The Hepatitis A vaccine contains that strain of the hepatitis virus. Other vaccines contain fragments of viruses, such as polysaccharides or toxoids, or weakened viruses. Flu shots contain influenza virus. The HiB has haemophilus influenza bacteria in it. Viruses are often 'weakened' or 'inactivated' with formaldehyde, but as its effect is temporary, these viruses can revert back to full strength. Trace amounts of the mediums in which vaccines are cultured can be found in them as well. For example, flu shots and mumps vaccines are made in chicken eggs, hence the reason those with egg sensitivity may be allergic to them. Some are made with genetically altered yeast. Polio inoculations are created in monkey kidney cells. Hepatitis A, RotaTeq, Varicella (chickenpox), Rubella, and Mumps vaccines are cultured in human diploid cells that come from aborted human fetal tissue, as in a dead baby--the lungs to be exact. That's the freaky truth. The Following Information May SHOCK You!!! Ammonium sulfate can be found in the DTaP, DPT, HiB vaccines, all of which are routinely given to babies. Ammonium is basically positively charged ammonia. Ammonia is found in urine and used in household cleaning products, the source of that strong odor. It is toxic when inhaled. Sulfate is a salt of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is used in ore processing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, and wastewater processing. It comes from sulfur, obviously, which is used in gunpowder and insecticides. Sulfur also has a very distinct, disgusting smell. Ammonium sulfate may be a gastrointestinal, liver, respiratory, and neurological toxicant. Formalin is used in the DTaP and Hepatitis A vaccine. It is 30% formaldehyde. The DPT, some polio, and flu shots contain actual formaldehyde. It is used as a tissue fixative. It is considered one of the most hazardous compounds. It can cause high acidity, liver, kidney, and nerve damage. To say that the side effects are numerous would be an understatement. Among these are blindness, asphyxiation, pneumonia, shock, vomiting. 3

4 Smoke and car exhaust contain formaldehyde. It can be used as a disinfectant and detergent. The most well-known use for formaldehyde is in embalming corpses. I remember dissecting rats in Biology class that had been preserved with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde comes from methanol, which is quite poisonous and is used as antifreeze. Formaldehyde stays in your system at a cellular level. Aluminum is found in the vaccines for DPT, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis A in both phosphate and hydroxide forms. It may be toxic to your blood system, neurons, and respiratory organs. It is suspected that it could cause brain damage such as Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. It is another one of the more hazardous chemicals to humans. Shockingly, too much aluminum can even cause coma. DPT and DTaP, which are for diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis, contain thimerosal. It can also be found in flu shots, Hepatitis B, meningococcal vaccines, and HiB. Thimerosal is 50% mercury, which is extremely poisonous. It causes neurons to disintegrate, changes chromosomes, and has been associated with autism. At a typical well-baby check-up, an infant may be injected with as much as what the WHO considers the maximum for three months of exposure. Again, the word numerous is inadequate to describe the many side effects that can occur. Among them are poisoning, pain, death, hallucinations, and deafness. Thimerosal is supposedly being phased out of vaccines that are on the early childhood immunization schedule. Companies are still using it to make vaccines but trying to keep it out of the final product, which may still contain thimerosal but in smaller amounts than before. Some medical clinics still offer the versions of shots containing thimerosal, and you need to ask specifically for the new supposedly thimerosal-free version. Vaccines not on the early childhood immunization list may still contain high amounts of thimerosal. Flu shots are among the vaccines that still have thimerosal. Sorbitol is one of the less hazardous chemicals but still may be toxic to the liver and gastrointestinal system. You'll find it in the MMR and polio shot. Tri(n)butylphosphate is in some brands of influenza vaccine. It is one of the more hazardous chemicals. This one may be toxic to neurons and kidneys. Polysorbate 20 (hepatitis A) and 80 (influenza) has caused cancer in animals. It could be toxic to the skin and other sense organs. Betapropiolactone, found in some influenza vaccines, is a proven carcinogen and suspected toxin to the liver, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and skin and sense organs. 4

5 It is listed among the top 10% of most hazardous compounds Other ingredients include monosodium glutamate, potassium monophosphate, diphosphate, and phenoxyethanol (antifreeze). That last one is very toxic and one of the more hazardous chemicals. It's used in Hepatitis A and polio vaccines. It may cause disorders of the kidney, liver, circulatory system, and central nervous system. It's common knowledge that ingesting antifreeze can cause death by poisoning. It may be a developmental and reproductive toxicant, can weaken the immune system, and is toxic to many body parts. Other side effects can range from vomiting to convulsions. Common ingredients include animal byproducts, such as gelatin (a known allergen), serums, guinea pig embryo cells, or residual proteins. This may be worrisome to those who are pro-life, vegetarian, or vegan. Many people are allergic to gelatin, which can be found in the MMR, Varicella, and DTP vaccines. DPT has red blood cells from sheep. Chick embryo and embryonic fluid is common, existing in flu and measles shots. As stated before, human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue are used in vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox. These are foreign to the human body and dangerous to inject directly into the bloodstream. Some people are allergic to specific animal products and may thus have an allergic reaction to the vaccine. Now some ingredients don't seem that scary or harmful. Some are simply sugars, like sucrose and glycerol (which is actually a sugar alcohol.) S alt, sodium chloride, is used in some. Others are antibiotics like polymixin, which is used in some flu shots and Polio vaccines. Neomycin or neomycin sulfate can be found in the rotavirus vax, flu shots, polio vaccines, and vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella like the MMR. It may hinder absorption of vitamin B6, potentially leading to epilepsy and mental retardation. Other antibiotics include gentamicin sulfate (flu shots), amphotericin B (rotavirus) and streptomycin (polio vaxes). S ugars, salts and antibiotics are no big deal, right? Think about this though, with how much sugar and salt we take in already, why would we want to inject more into our bloodstream? More importantly, it is commonly known that taking antibiotics when not ill can weaken the immune system and cause problems, such as side effects. People can also develop allergies to antibiotics, especially after being exposed to them repeatedly. Many allergic reactions to vaccines are associated with antibiotic hypersensitivity. Some of these antibiotics are in several vaccines, making the child allergic to each one containing that antibiotic. Some vaccines contain more than one antibiotic, making it hard to know which one the child cannot tolerate. It's pointless to inject antibiotics along with virus anyway, being that antibiotics have no effect on viruses. 5

6 Discovering that formaldehyde, antifreeze, and aborted fetal cells were in many vaccines was enough to convince me not to vaccinate my children any further. And this is just scratching the surface. There are many MORE toxins in the immunizations we give OUR children or allow them to INJECT our children with. I keep thinking, Why would anyone want to inject any of this into their body? I would never drink antifreeze, not even a small amount of it, so why would I inject ANTIFREEZE into my baby's bloodstream? I mean it will KILL a DOG, so why in the world would I INJECT it into my baby? WHY? Most of the ingredients in vaccines are extremely hazardous and toxic to our bodies, even in small quantities. Many believe that by not inoculating children against illness, one is taking a huge risk. For me, injecting my child with unneeded antibiotics, metals, poison, and live viruses is an even bigger risk. Where do you stand on the issue? Remember, you always have a choice. You always have a choice. Chiropractically Yours, Dr. John Ferguson 6
