  K.N.O.W. Vaccines - Vaccine Controversy
Whereas the proponents of mass vaccination might have you think there is a conspiracy of quacks and unfit parents trying to thwart medical progress, the truth of the matter is that the mounting evidence of malfeasance is undeniable as the conspiracy of silence about this conflict is brought to light.
Vaccination is a medical procedure that carries an inherent risk of injury or death.
It is not clear whether vaccination became mandatory because the public cannot be trusted to always fulfill their obligations to society, so laws were created to enforce compliance, or whether because vaccination is a medical procedure that carries risk of injury or death, it must be mandated.

 THE VACCINE CONTROVERSY
The practice of annual vaccination in our opinion should be considered of questionable efficacy unless it is used as a mechanism to provide an annual physical examination or is required by law (ie: rabies vaccinations in some states).
Killed vaccines on the other hand, are safer but require a large antigenic dose, multiple immunizations and often the use of adjuvants that can cause an increase in systemic vaccine reactions.
If a modified live virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age (this is different from what I was told on the phone), it produces an immunity which is good for the life of the pet (ie: canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper).

 Vaccine controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vaccines are widely credited with reducing the prevalence and consequences of many diseases.
Controversy has arisen regarding the safety of the MMR vaccine, because a handful of scientists and parents argue that the vaccine is the cause of the increased incidence of autism noted in western countries and Japan, and bowel disorders such as Crohn's disease.
The controversy was seized upon by some UK newspapers, which argued that separate vaccines ought to be available on the National Health Service (NHS) (It can be argued that these newspapers may have been serving their own interest by promoting this "health scare story" up the news agenda).

 Pertussis Vaccine Controversy Continues
Now that mass vaccination programs in many developed countries have caused dramatic drops in pertussis rates, people have started to wonder if the vaccine is doing more harm than good.
The researchers found that anti-pertussis vaccination campaigns had a "dose-response" effect on each of the countries where vaccination policies were changed.
Many of the countries in which pertussis vaccination programs were halted as a result of anti-vaccination campaigns have since reinstated their vaccination programs, Gangarosa said in an interview.

 The Vaccine Controversy: Why Full Informed Consent Must be Instituted for All Vaccines (Relevant to CFS & FM)

Thus, the multiple vaccines used in the Gulf War should be considered as a possible source of the chronic infections found in GWI patients.
It is now time to seriously consider whether current state mandatory vaccination laws and federal vaccination policies are inconsistent with the rights of citizens to be subject to medical procedures that carry a risk of injury or death without proper informed consent.

 The Anthrax Vaccine Controversy --- Questions About Its Efficacy, Safety, and Strategy
Given concerns about safety and efficacy of the military's vaccines, the strategy of using multiple vaccines to protect against biological warfare agents must be re-evaluated in the context of integrated warfare and the potential simultaneous exposure of forces to chemical, biological and radiological agents along with conventional warfare environmental (smoke, chemicals, etc.) exposures.
Assessing anthrax vaccine safety is dependent on how vaccine adverse effects are reported.(4-10) Often individuals suffering from adverse anthrax vaccine effects, especially in the military, are reluctant to seek medical care, because they have seen their colleagues' concerns dismissed as due to depression or stress.
The purity and safety of vaccines depend on their ability to remain free of contamination by microorganisms.(23) Unless each lot of vaccine is routinely tested for possible contamination, including animal testing, there remains a possibility that vaccines could be contaminated with viruses or slow-growing microorganisms that promote chronic illnesses in humans.

 MMR Vaccine Controversy Finally Resolved
The controversy associated with the MMR vaccine stems from a theory that thimerosal (ethylmercury), used to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination during the manufacture of the vaccine, is the culprit behind the rise in PDDs.
Unfortunately, the fear caused by those who believed thimerosal vaccines were related to PDDs - the most infamous case being Dr. Andrew Wakefield's report that appeared in the medical journal The Lancet, which was later retracted by its co-authors - had dire consequences.
Since the introduction of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine, a number of scientists and parents have argued that the vaccine is responsible for an increase in pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

 ANTHRAX VACCINE: CONTROVERSY OVER SAFETY AND EFFICACY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Although vaccines can protect against accidental exposure of relatively small doses of anthrax spores that infect skin wounds, such as encountered occasionally in meat processing, it remains unproven whether anthrax vaccines will actually protect against a lethal aerosol dose of inhaled anthrax spores of the weaponized variety that are used as BW agents.
However, in the case of the anthrax vaccine, military physicians were instructed that only certain adverse effects could be vaccine reactions, such as classic immediate allergic reactions, and others, such as joint pain, cognitive disturbances, etc. could not be due to the vaccine.
FDA-mandated vaccine preparation methods are generally considered adequate to prevent this possibility, but unless each ‘batch’ or lot of vaccine is routinely tested for possible contamination, including animal testing, this remains a possibility that must be carefully examined, not uncritically dismissed by untrained bureaucrats as a remote hypothetical possibility.
