The Flawed Vaccination Theory

It should come as no surprise to anyone that vacinations the world over are big business, however controversial, and that most conventional medical doctors (and the drug companies that develop and market them) want every child to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, HPV, chicken pox and over a hundred other diseases. Mr. Microsoft, Bill Gates, aspires to see disease everywhere "eradicated," by vaccinating people in developing nations. This is an aggressive and noble goal, but any undertaking of this magnitude has to be based on a well-developed assumption for anyone to believe that its possible. According to Mike Adams, Editor of the NaturalNews newsletter, "Upon closer inspection, that assumption turns out to be nothing more than blatant quacksterism hidden behind the technical jargon of modern medicine."

Mike refers to the assumption that immune system intervention, i.e. vaccines, produces a better long-term result than immune system adaptation, i.e. allowing the person to conquer such infections on their own. This "hygiene hypothesis" challenges the conventional wisdom of vaccinations, which instead believes that the human body should be denied the experience of a full-strength infection, and the natural, adaptive response that follows. In other words, vaccine promoters believe that the human body is inherently incapable of dealing with infections and must be protected through chemical intervention. This deeply-rooted lack of faith in the technology of the human body is a bedrock belief of western medicine, which prefers intervention over self care (and external solutions instead of internal ones). Trust me, it's more than coincidence that this core belief just happens to maximize the profits of the drug companies and conventional medical practitioners who thrive on the revenues created through any medical intervention, and certainly, vaccinations. This belief stems from Luis Pasteur's Germ Theory, upon which the entire flawed approach and foundation of Orthodox (Modern, Traditional, Allopathic) Medicine is based. For a complete explanation of that theory, click on the article, Modern Medicine--Flawed Origins in this section of the website.  

The assumption to vaccinate does seem logical; you know, getting vaccinated rather than getting infected. That's seems to be the conclusion most doctors jump to, but how much real thought and research has gone into that conclusion? Of course, they were taught in medical school that immune system intervention is obviously superior to immune system adaptation. They tend to dismiss anyone who dares question this "wisdom of modern vaccines." So, we find a general acceptance within the traditional medical discipline, but is this assumption true from a scientific perspective? Do mass vaccinations for non-fatal diseases really improve the health and lives of those who receive them? Parents are supposed to accept as a fact that they do, without reason and without question, just as the doctor does. Why, you might as well challenge evolution, right!

This reveals the soft spot in the argument of those who stand, unquestioning, in the pro-vaccine corner: Mike Adams suggests that this is the strategy of the intellectually desperate. He says that "Truth does not fear investigation, and if vaccines are so provably useful for enhancing the health of children, then doctors shouldn't mind people asking questions or even openly debating the merits of vaccination programs. And yet what you see with vaccines today is a cult-like worship of them that despises scrutiny or even solid science. Vaccines are good because they tell us so, and that should be sufficient reason, we're told. They're afraid of being questioned. They fear scientific scrutiny so much that they have to reframe the entire debate to one made up of 'doctors vs. quacks,' rather than one of scientific evidence vs. quackery." It's their authority that makes vaccines "scientific," not actually any real science. So much for the scientific method when it comes to medicine, huh?

According to Adams, "The germs of the world are to be feared, to be sure, and doctors prey upon this fear by scaring parents into thinking their child might die if they don't get them vaccinated, rather than embracing them. Modern medicine's "war on Germs" is a high-profit, never-ending war against an imaginary opponent, used primarily to control people into doing what you want." He adds, "Today, we are over-vaccinating our children to the point of utterly ridiculousness, and some doctors are claiming the effort should be boosted to include even as many as "one thousand vaccines." The more, the merrier, right?

Increasingly, it appears that vaccines are having a difficult time standing up to scientific scrutiny. New research coming from Europe and South America is showing that human health improves when it is EXPOSED to full-strength pathogens and infections that force the body to activate an adaptive response, and that one of the primary reasons why so many first-world citizens are getting sick with degenerative disease today may be that people aren't exposed to enough infections in their lives. Adams notes, "The upshot of all this is the sobering realization that children need to play in the dirt. Eating a piece of food you drop on the floor won't kill you (the five-second rule!), and there IS such as thing as being too clean.'

According to him, "Modern medicine is a comedy of contradiction. And why should we expect anything different from these geniuses when it comes to the vaccine question? Whether doctors, or students or priests, those who do not question their own beliefs are doomed to fanaticism in all its various forms. The vaccine-pushing agenda of modern times is, in every way, a form of runaway medical fanaticism full of contradiction.

To support his conclusions, Adams has prepared an impressive array of quotations from naturopathic physicians, health authors, researchers and doctors on the dangers of vaccines. He assembled the quotes from a private library of health books and published them to make this entire collection public. You will find them in the article entitled,   Health Experts Sound Off About Vaccinations, in this same section. Also, you should definitely listen to the Truth About Vaccinations interview in the Recorded Interviews section of this website. This information needs to be "out there."   Lyle
