Knowing how vaccines work is necessary for understanding which ones are likely to help, which ones are likely to harm, and the forgotten alternatives to immunization the medical industry buried.
Story at a Glance:
- The vaccine industry has largely escaped scrutiny because of the belief that “vaccines are safe and effective”—a slogan that treats every vaccine as an identical good and discourages any examination of how vaccines are actually made or how sharply their individual risks and benefits differ.
- Here I will review the foundational principles of vaccine design and the clinical implications that I believe are essential for understanding why these products so often fail to live up to their promises and have major safety issues.
- Building upon this, I will show how the actual risks and benefits of a vaccine can be calculated (something medicine almost never computes) and why many commonly administered ones rest on very shaky ground that makes it hard to ever justify giving them to anyone.
- I will also review numerous core principles of immunology that virtually never enter the vaccine discussion and help to explain why vaccines cause so many different immunological issues.
- With this framework, I will provide a guide to assist you in determining the risks and benefit of each vaccine on the CDC schedule and tools for identifying the most toxic and unecessary ones.
- Medicine’s religious focus on vaccines has covered up the fact many safe natural alternatives to vaccines exist which can prevent a variety of complex illnesses. Likewise, much in the same way a few vaccines have been used to treat challenging chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, shingles, fibromyalgia), forgotten natural therapies have been as well that both eliminate chronic debilitating illnesses, and provide completely safe methods to make populations immune to problematic infectious diseases.
