I belong to many online discussion groups and today I came across this link about a correlation between SIDS and vaccines. I found it most interesting since it concurs with my own personal feelings on the issue. We are a non-vaccinating family.
Here are a few of the highlights from the November 2000 Idaho Observer:
In 1985 Dr. Scheibner, a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia, and her husband electrochemical engineer Leif Karlsson invented the CotWatch breathing monitor for babies who are diagnosed “at risk” for SIDS, or “Cot Death” as it is known in Australia. Over the next three years, the couple monitored hundreds of babies and studied the event reports that their CotWatch produced. “By 1988 we knew that vaccines are killing babies,” said Dr. Scheibner.
SIDS occurs among babies who have suffered a physical insult to their vulnerable bodies. Scheibner and Karlsson learned that the most common physical insult suffered by SIDS babies was routine vaccinations. Printouts from their monitor illuminated patterns that indicated critical days after vaccinations.
The full article can be found here.
So why do I feel that this article speaks loudly to some profound truths that often go ignored? Quite simply it is because I have seen first hand the damaging effect of vaccines. My own child experienced three…yes three adverse vaccine reactions before I finally denounced the medical community that wanted me to believe that it was all just coincidence. The third and final reaction resulted in a massive seizure, respiratory arrest, and subsequent brain damage.
Now I encourage ALL parents to thoroughly research this issue. Vaccines protect the masses you might say…but what does that mean to a parent with a vaccine injured child? To me it means nothing. I will instead focus my energies on protecting the children that I brought into this world and for our family that means no vaccines.

No matter what your opinion I encourage you to leave a comment and tell me what you think about this issue

My kids are unvaccinated too. It’s not something I share with people because of the controversial nature of the subject, but I’m finding that more and more people are delaying or not vaxxing at all. It’s encouraging. We’re no longer the tiny minority we once were!
And people are forever commenting on how healthy my kids are…none of them has ever had an ear infection. No chronic illness, no asthma, no coughs, no breathing difficulties, etc. They can’t seem to make the connection, however, between vaccines and an impaired immunity. What is especially said is that so many breastfed babies are sickly…because of the many vaccines they get so young.

Great information Tiffany! I have been to the above website before many times–very informative. It seems as though parents are starting to get a little more educated but I do think there is alot of fear in not vaccinating. I think the vaccine industry has seen somewhat of a decline in children being vaccinated. I have noticed alot of t.v. commercials and radio commercials coming out pushing vaccines and placing fear into parents.

My daughter and I were watching TV the other night and there was a commercial about vaccines for babies. All the babies were nude which is so terrible, because right after that the next program was about pedifiles. on W5. Now we see them all the time and are just appalled. We certainly hope there are a lot more people with the same feelings about showing naked babies, children .. and yes even adults.
