Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 http://pets.webmd.com/features/pet_vaccination?ecd=wnl_cat_020812 So should all dogs and cats still be vaccinated? “Absolutely,” says Schultz, DVM, a pioneer in clinical immunology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But Schulz is also very much in agreement with those who say pets are being over vaccinated, calling it a “serious problem.” Often, he says, pets are vaccinated by vets who just want to keep clients coming in. But too many vaccines, especially when given in “combo shots,” can “assault” immune systems. ************But human vaccines, of course, don't pose any of this. *grin* Is it true that vaccines can even cause cancer? In cats, definitely, says Ford, DVM, professor of veterinary medicine at North Carolina State University. [...]. “Many [scientists] strongly recommend to avoid using any cat vaccine that is labeled ‘killed’ or ‘inactivated.’ [...] Years ago, vets started noticing tumors forming in the area between the shoulders, where cats are vaccinated. The tumors are rare, occurring in 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 cats. Vaccines can definitely cause cancer, says Luci T. Dimick, DVM, of The Ohio State University. [...] ********* and what goes around, comes around..*sigh* What is “vaccinosis”? “The term has no scientific or medical meaning and is no doubt an attempt to discredit vaccines,” says Henry J. Baker, professor emeritus of veterinary medicine at Auburn University and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medical Education.greetings, will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
