I'm sorry for that. But I hope you can see your bias in this case. While the risks of vaccines should probably have been made more aware to you and your parents, that doesn't mean vaccines don't work.Originally posted by Paul33:
Because I almost died as an infant when immunized by my parents.

With my first born we started down the road to immunizations. She received the dead polio virus. But then we started doing our own research and decided not to immunize her with the other shots. I've done enough research to know that the risks of contracting the disease do not outwiegh the risks of the vaccines, IMO.Originally posted by Gold Dragon:

What research? Could you site some support for this absurd statement?Originally posted by Paul33:
Ed,
There is no statistic you could share with me that would convince me of anything. You were absolutely wrong in your assessment of exemptions by state for school age children. Why would I accept anything you say now about this topic.
The research shows that polio was on the decline before immunizations started and then increased once vaccines were started. There were other factors that played into the decrease of polio in America.
The "fact" of polio being eliminated by vaccines is in dispute. </font>[/QUOTE]Dr. Bernard Greenburg testifying before congress! Go look it up for yourself. He was the head of Biostatistics at the UNC School of Public Health.Originally posted by Paul33:

From James, Immunization, 26-27.
"During the 1962 Congressional Hearings on HR 10541, Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Department of Biostatistics of the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, testified that not only did polio increase substantially (50 percent from 1957 to 1958 and 80 percent from 1958 to 1959) after the introduction of mass and frequently compulsory immunization programs, but statistics were manipulated and statements made by the Public Health Service to give the opposite impression."
"For instance, in 1957 a spokesman for the North Carolina Health Department made glowing claims for the efficacy of the Salk vaccine, showing how polio steadily decreased from 1953 to 1957. His figures were challenged by Dr. Fred Klenner who pointed out that it wasn't until 1955 that a single person in the state received a polio vaccine injection. Even then injections were administered on a very limited basis because of the number of polio cases resulting from the vaccine. It wasn't until 1956 'that polio vaccinations assumed inspiring proportions.' The 61 percent drop in polio cases in 1954 was credited to the Salk vaccine when it wasn't even in the state! By 1957 polio was on the increase."
