Childhood Immunizations?
IMMUNIZATIONS: A Second Opinion
by Stephen C. Marini, M.S., Ph.D., D.C.
Originally Printed in: I.C.P.A. Newsletter July/August 1997
The following is an excerpt from a statement presented on June 8, 1995 in
Washington, D.C. at the Vaccine Safety Forum of the Institute of Medicine, a
branch of the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
There is historic epidemiologic evidence that the incidence and severity of
infectious diseases wanes in populations over time, particularly in
technologically advanced countries such as the United States, as the human
immune system naturally adapts to the challenge.
Especially with regard to the passing on of maternal antibodies to protect
newborns and keeping usually mild childhood diseases, such as rubella and
chicken pox, out of adult populations where they are more severe, the
advantage of permanent immunity gained from natural recovery from infectious
disease as children outweighs the artificial, temporary immunity provided by
vaccines. Data also suggest that the diseases of childhood are necessary for
appropriate development, maturation and function of the individual immune
and nervous systems.
Furthermore, progress in the field of Psychoneuroendocrinimmunology has led
some researchers to conclude that vaccines in general may not only be
impacting negatively on the human immune system, but may also be adversely
affecting the neurologic and psychologic development and function of the
vaccine recipient. The impact of artificial immunity on immune, neurologic,
endocrine, and psychologic systems has not been scientifically elucidated.
There is no credible scientific data to demonstrate that the injection of
multiple antigens simultaneously into a baby, particularly a baby under the
age of one year, is safe and effective. There is no credible scientific
evidence to negate the hypothesis that vaccines cause immediate or delayed
damage to the immune and neurological disorders including asthma, learning
disabilities, hyperactivity, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus,
diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and other
diseases. There is no assurance that the agency charged with detailing and
reporting adverse events following immunizations is not ethically
constrained by its conflicting responsibility of promoting a vaccine.....
There is growing public awareness of the significance of alternative
measures, such as proper nutrition, exercise, rest positive mental outlook
and the maintaining of neurologic integrity, as powerful instruments for
immunologic enhancement and defense against disease. There is increasing
recognition among health care practitioners that the human body has an
innate ability to protect and heal itself when allowed to function optimally
without interference.
Educational Conduits which target the largest number and widest
socio-economic cross-sections of the public should be used to reinforce the
concept that wellness is a way of life and can only be achieved by employing
preventive health care strategies which enhance, not suppress or interfere
with, the natural functioning of the human immune system. In recognition of
the need to enhance the innate human immune capacity to resist infectious
diseases such as polio, health and wellness advocates of the 21st century
support the SANS or NO VACCINE option.
