There are two primary guilt trips used on parents who refuse vaccinations for their children. The first is absurd enough to be laughable – the peer pressure tactic of not letting children who weren’t vaccinated around parents’ vaccinated children. But if your kids were vaccinated, they’re supposed to be protected. right?
Actually, many children contract the disease vaccinated against. After looking at some hard facts, maybe they just aren’t protected.
The vaccine industry insists that it’s goal is to create herd immunity by vaccinating at least 90% of a given population. Seeing as vaccines are also a business, that’s a money maker for sure. Also referred to as herd immunity, this 90% vaccination rate depicts a scenario where nobody gets the disease that was vaccinated against, even the ten percent who weren’t vaccinated.
And there’s the second guilt trip, impeding herd immunity by not having children receive a vaccination.
A Few of Those Recent Herd Immunity Hard Facts
A 2012 study led by Dr. David Witt, an infectious disease specialist at the San Rafael, California Kaiser Permanente Medical Center concluded that whooping cough, pertussis, occurs more among vaccinated children than children not vaccinated for pertussis with the DtaP vaccine that replaced the DTP vaccine.
As a matter of fact, pertussis has been on the rise since pertussis vaccinations have increased. In 2010, a mumps outbreak occurred among 1000 children in upper New Jersey and lower New York. Almost 80% of them had been vaccinated with MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine.
