# Did you know that JWs STILL hold the old views on vaccinations?

This is part of the stuff a Jehovah's Witness is publishing on his website TODAY!. No wonder people all over the world is laughing hardly when JWs are talking about medicine......
`

MYTH #1
Vaccines are completely safe.
THE TRUTH IS...
Vaccines cause significant death and disability. Research has linked vaccination to approximately half of all the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome cases (SIDS or Crib Death) in the U.S.
MYTH #2
Vaccines are very effective.
THE TRUTH IS...
Evidence suggests that vaccination is an unreliable means of preventing disease.
MYTH #3
Vaccines are the main reason for low disease rates in the U.S. today.
THE TRUTH IS...
It is unclear what impact vaccines had on the infectious declines that occurred throughout this century because vaccine advocates point to incidence statistics rather than mortality as proof of vaccine effectiveness.
MYTH #4
Vaccination is based on sound immunization theory and practice.
THE TRUTH IS...
Many of the assumptions upon which immunization theory and practice are based have been proven false in their application. The complex human immune system cannot be fully replicated by artificial stimulation of anti-body production. The fact that culture and diet play a large part in the effectiveness of vaccines is virtually ignored by vaccine advocates.
MYTH# 5
Childhood diseases are extremely dangerous.
THE TRUTH IS...
Dangers of childhood diseases are greatly exaggerated in order to scare parents into compliance with a questionable but profitable procedure. Most infectious diseases are suffered quite well by children and have few serious consequences. Whereas, an adult may suffer severely from diseases that should have been experienced as a child. The majority of childhood diseases are benign and create lifelong immunity. Vaccine induced immunity is temporary and booster shots may provide protection for less than 6 months only to reactivate later in life as other immune system disorders.
MYTH #6
Polio was one of the truly great vaccination success stories.
THE TRUTH IS...
Vaccines caused substantial increases in polio after years of steady declines and they are the SOLE cause of polio in the U.S. today. Only on paper, did polio decrease radically after vaccines due to the change in epidemic reporting to favor immunization. Jonas Salk, creator of the first vaccine for polio, testified that nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961 were caused by the oral polio vaccine. ( CFIDS Relation to Polio )
MYTH #7
My child had no short-term reaction to vaccination, so there is nothing to worry about.
THE TRUTH IS...
The long-term adverse effects of vaccinations have been virtually ignored, in spite of direct correlations with many chronic conditions. Autism, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, allergies, cancer, and other immunological problems barely existed 30 years ago before mass vaccination programs were initiated. Other conditions known to result from the side-effects of vaccination include: brain damage, seizures, epilepsy, sleeping and eating disorders, asthma, diabetes, obesity and impulsive violence.
MYTH #8
Vaccines are the only disease prevention option available.
THE TRUTH IS...
Documented safe and effective alternatives to vaccination have been available for decades but suppressed by the allopathic medical establishment. There are homeopathic kits available that have no toxic components and therefore no side effects. Homeopathy has also been effective in reversing some of the disabilities caused by vaccine reactions.
MYTH #9
Vaccinations are legally mandated and thus unavoidable.
THE TRUTH IS...
Legal exemptions do exist and are obtainable for most U.S. citizens. There are three exemption possibilities in the U.S.:

1) Medical Exemption: All 50 states in the U.S. allow for a medical exemption.
  A few states allow licensed naturopathic or chiropractic doctors to issue medical exemptions in addition to medical doctors. However, few pediatricians check for indications of increased risk before administering vaccines, so it is advisable for parents to research this matter for themselves. Epilepsy, severe allergies, and siblings' previous adverse reactions are but a few of the many conditions in child or family history which may increase the chances of an adverse reaction, and thus qualify for a medical exemption.
2) Religious Exemption: Nearly all states allow for a religious exemption.
  This may or may not require membership in an established religious organization, as individual state laws vary.
3) Philosophical or Personal Exemption: An increasing number of states allow one of these exemptions,
  in recognition of the controversy and/or violation of freedom that mandated vaccination laws impose.

Generally, exempted children may not be banned from attending public schools and colleges except during local outbreaks. It is best to contact local school officials in advance to determine their particular procedure for handling exemptions. The best source for a copy of your state's vaccination laws is state health officials or our public library. A phone call to the state Department of Epidemiology may be all that it takes to get a copy mailed to you.
MYTH #10
Public health officials always place health above other concerns.
THE TRUTH IS...
Although individual doctors may only be victims of their limited medical training, vaccination history is riddled with documented instances of deceit designed to portray vaccines as disease conquerors. Reluctant to diagnose disease in vaccinated children, alternate diagnosis and falsified hospital records or death certificates have been used to cover up the discrepancies and hide the facts.
