Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 My 15 yo is taking honors biology and he chose Vaccines as his topic for his research paper. " Are vaccines safe? Should parents be required to have children immunized? Should students who are not immunized be around children who have been immunized (in places like daycare & school)? " It is only going to be 3 pages double spaced and has been told FACTS ONLY (whos facts I am not sure, lol) It must contain at least 6 sources and 3 can be from the internet. I have already sent him to Dr. Tenpenny's webpage and the CDC. What other Fact based references do you suggest?? There is sooo much out there his head is spinning. We/He believes vaccines are unsafe, cause autoimmune diseases, and they don't provide immunity I just need some references to back us up.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 What a daunting task! I would have him check out NVIC (www.nvic.org). There are articles on the right side of the website about parents opting out of vaccinating, SV-40 and cancer, and the Hepatitis B vaccine from 1998. There is much other info, including state laws/exemptions and VAERS (reports of vaccine side effects) found on the left side of the site. Good book sources: Neil 's book Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective--easy to skim through and has info on diseases declining before vaccines were introduced; Kirby's book on mercury and autism, Evidence of Harm; and The Virus and the Vaccine by Debbie Bookchin & Jim Schumaker about contaminated polio vaccines and cancer. The last two are pretty long, so he probably couldn't read them in full but still very informative and both are respectable sources. And, of course, nothing beats getting info right from the horses' mouths: the manufacturers' vaccine package inserts, looking for ingredients, claims of effectiveness and adverse events/reactions: http://vaers.hhs.gov/pdf/PackageInserts.pdf (thanks Dawn for this link).

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Have him do a search...... " dangers of vacccines. Here a just a few.. NVIC, Mercola, These sites..... http://www.vaclib.org/legal/donotsign.htmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=4zJrkPJXAh0 & feature=relatedhttp://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/riddick/ vaccine.htm Have him look at the FDA website ...Interesting how preservative free isn''t really preservative free! http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimfaq.htm Why are some vaccines noted to be " thimerosal-free " while some are " thimerosal-reduced " ? What is the difference between " thimerosal- free " and " preservative-free " ? Thimerosal may be added at the end of the manufacturing process to act as a preservative to prevent bacterial or fungal growth in the event that the vaccine is accidentally contaminated, as might occur with repeated puncture of multi-dose vials. When thimerosal is used as preservative in vaccines, it is present in concentrations up to 0.01% (50 micrograms thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or 25 micrograms mercury per 0.5 mL dose). In some cases, thimerosal is used during the manufacturing process and is present in small amounts in the final vaccine (1 micrograms mercury or less per dose). The term " preservative-free " indicates that no preservative (thimerosal or otherwise) is used in the vaccine; however, traces used during the manufacturing process may be present in the final formulation. For example, some vaccines may be preservative-free but may contain traces of thimerosal (1 micrograms mercury or less per dose); in such settings, this information is noted in the package insert. Similarly, the term " thimerosal-reduced " usually indicates that thimerosal is not added as a vaccine preservative, but trace amounts (1 micrograms mercury per dose or less) may remain from use in the manufacturing process. Such trace amounts are not felt to be clinically significant, nor would they result in exposure exceeding any federal guideline for mercury exposure. Vaccines may be termed " thimerosal-free " if no thimerosal can be measured; i.e., thimerosal content is below the limit of detection.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 This is a HUGE topic. I too am thinking of doing my research paper on vaccines when I take my English Comp.II class, bu I think it is too big a task. I was thinking then to narrow it and do it on either polio or smallpox, this way it is a smaller subject (although still pretty huge,) and I can focus on many points besides vaccine too. Plus, people generally base their beliefs on vaccines on the supposed eradication of polio and smallpox. Good luck for him on his project. And I would definitely suggest he cite CDC, FDA, or some other " trusted " agency at least once or twice and I think Dr. Sheri Tenpenny and Dr. Neil Z. will be perfect at providing that. > > Have him do a search......

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 As far as their connection to autoimmune diseases...I'm currently reading an AWESOME book called The AutoImmune Epidemic (very new) with lots of research about vaccines causing autoimmune diseases. There is a whole chapter just dedicated to their connection to vaccines. It is NOT written by an anti-vaccinist, but the author is fair in her presentation. The entire field of autoimmunity issues is so new, but already so many researchers are pointing the finger at vaccines. I believe the author is Nakazawa (?) Not positive about the name, but that's definitely the title. I don't have the book with me right now. But I checked it out at our library. Written in 2007? GOOD LUCK! And good for your son for picking the topic. I hope he educates many at his school....

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 My youngest son is a freshman at OSU. He sent me this note and link, which is very damming. It's nice when you see your child's brain exploding! Seitz, DC Tuality Physicians 730-D SE Oak St Hillsboro, OR 97123 (503)640-3724Hey I just wanted to let you know about this book called "The Fluoride Deception". The research paper I was writing about was on bottled water and it's issues, but some how I stumbled across this guy's book on the OSU library catalog and was really intrigued/disturbed. There's a pretty long video link below (approx. 30 min.), it's an interview with the author of a book I was reading about. You should watch it.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7319752042352089988# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
