Here's my letter to Mr. at our local NBC affiliate. I'm sure it's falling on deaf ears, but at least it's off my chest!

Dear Mr. :

I watched your news story regarding vaccination exemptions last night. I would like to urge you to take your story further and investigate BOTH sides of the vaccine controversy very carefully and THOROUGHLY with an unbiased mind, then give a fair and balanced report representing both sides of the issue. After all, isn't that is what good journalism is all about?

As I sit here, in the early stages of labor with my second child, I can't help but think about how far my own views on this subject have come over the last three years. When I was pregnant with my first child three years ago, I was careful to research all the baby products I was putting on my baby registry. For instance, what is the safest infant car seat? What stroller will be most efficient and last, be easy to maneuver, etc., what fabrics are best against a baby's skin, what bath products are most gentle and non-irritating to a baby's skin, what color should I paint the nursery? Vaccines (among the other drugs that are thrust upon our children on a daily basis) were the furthest thing from my mind. I never ever thought to question my doctor, the pharmaceutical companies or our government and their motives. That is, until my best friend's then seven-year-old daughter suddenly and violently developed Type I Diabetes. As that little girl lay in the ICU in a coma fighting for her life, I heard the doctor say that the vaccines that she was given a mere two days earlier had attacked her pancreas and killed it, rendering her dependant on insulin for the rest of her life -- assuming she made a recovery and didn't die from diabetic coma in her hospital bed. Thankfully, she did come out of her coma, but her life and the lives of her family were forever changed, all because of a few jabs in the name of the " greater good " and " herd immunity " . I also have a friend who has a child with autism, which he developed after his 18-month shots, and another friend who lost her two-month-old to death just a few hours after a round of vaccines. This prompted me to do some research of my own and I was appalled with my findings on the issue.

I had to almost chuckle (with disgust) when I heard Dr. Brayden state that the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated are at risk from children being unvaccinated. I ask you, how does this make sense? If the vaccines work as well as they are purported to, then how in the world could a vaccinated child be in danger from being exposed to an unvaccinated child? Shouldn't that vaccinated child be protected from the vaccine? And, if " herd immunity " really exists, how could 7% of a state's population being unvaccinated be threatening said " herd immunity " ? That means that 93% of the population in Colorado is vaccinated; sounds like most of the " herd " to me! Honestly, if the CDC and AAP weren't so paranoid that the truth is finally coming to light, they wouldn't give a second thought to the notion that I might actually talk to my neighbor about my non-vaccination stance, or the fact that 7% of Colorado practices their exemption rights. Their bottom line is being threatened, and they're using you, the media, as their pawns to brainwash and manipulate the public into running to the nearest clinic or pediatrician's office out of pure fear. You're playing right into their hand, and they're the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

The true fact of the matter is that every child is affected differently by vaccines, as well as other drugs, and most are harmed in one way or another, even if it's not intuitively obvious at the time of injection. To assume that every child should be vaccinated according to the same schedule is ludicrous. It's obviously truly not about children's health at this point, or Gerberding, head of the CDC, would be jumping through hoops to find out why autism rates are skyrocketing as we introduce more and more vaccines into the schedule. She would be jumping to see if there is a possible way to make our vaccines safer, or if they need to be pulled altogether, in the name of the health and future of our children. Of course, autism is just the " disease of the day " ; there are many other childhood health issues that have skyrocketed out of control that are overshadowed by autism; i.e. asthma, diabetes, ADHD, ADD, depression, eczema, and the list goes on and on.

I don't believe it's coincidence that these chronic childhood conditions have risen in proportion to the number of vaccines forced upon our kids. A lot of educated parents agree with me in that belief. Are you aware that in 1983 the rate of autism in the US was 1 in 10,000? At that time our children (probably you) were required to received 10 vaccinations by the age of six. Today the rate of autism is reported to be 1 in 150 (old data, it's getting worse), and our children are required to received 36 vaccinations by the age of six (see attached USA Today ad for a good comparison chart).

And why is it that the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture these vaccines are not held accountable for the harm their products do to our children? Take away liability and you give free reign to let quality control slide. Merck, who is now making headlines for their deceit with their VIOXX safety studies, is one of the manufacturers of the vaccines that are given to our children. Why should we parents believe they won't lie about their vaccines if they would lie about their other drugs, all in the name of profit?

I urge you to take a look at the CDC's own list of vaccine ingredients:

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-1.pdf

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf

Now why would any responsible and INFORMED parent be willing, after knowing these ingredients are in the shots given to their perfect, but fragile, newborn, two-month-old or two-year-old? I don't even want those neurotoxins injected into ME! Do you? (Be honest!) And why are parents not given a list of ingredients as part of Informed Consent before they are forced to sign waivers to their rights to compensation if their child is injured or killed from a vaccine? Nowhere in nature are diseases introduced into the human body in conjunction with neurotoxins and chemicals, and nowhere in nature are up to nine diseases introduced into the human body all at once on the same day. Yet, this is exactly what we are doing every time we jab our children according to the CDC's schedule. How can we possibly expect our children to remain healthy with their immune systems under attack to that degree? If these childhood diseases are SO deadly, how did our race survive? My grandma had the measles, mumps, chicken pox, etc. She lived to a ripe old age! My mother recovered from Polio as a child, and also had measles, mumps, chicken pox. She's alive and well today, and fully supports my stance on the vaccine issue, despite having suffered from polio. I remember having the chicken pox as a kid, along with a lot of my classmates. We were all overjoyed to get a week off from school. It was hardly deadly; I watched TV and ate popsicles all week! What's wrong with letting our children's immune systems develop and strengthen naturally, by contracting these diseases and acquiring life-long, true immunity (as opposed to questionable efficacy of vaccine and the need for booster shots) the way God intended?

Also consider this: In 30-40 years the big political issue isn't going to be how we can save Medicare or whether to end the war, it's going to be how to deal with all the aging people with autism who can't care for themselves and their loving parents, who are willing to sacrifice everything to care for these children, are long dead. Think about how this is going to impact our economy and society as a whole! All in the name of " the greater good " .

I ask you again, please consider doing some thorough research on this subject and giving a fair and unbiased report of the true facts. At the very least, I urge you to do research of your own if you have children or if you ever have children in the future... for their sake.

Sincerely,

Roberg

And why is it that the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture these vaccines are not held accountable for the harm their products do to our children? Take away liability and you give free reign to let quality control slide. Merck, who is now making headlines for their deceit with their VIOXX safety studies, is one of the manufacturers of the vaccines that are given to our children. Why should we parents believe they won't lie about their vaccines if they would lie about their other drugs, all in the name of profit?

I urge you to take a look at the CDC's own list of vaccine ingredients:

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-1.pdf

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf

Now why would any responsible and INFORMED parent be willing, after knowing these ingredients are in the shots given to their perfect, but fragile, newborn, two-month-old or two-year-old? I don't even want those neurotoxins injected into ME! Do you? (Be honest!) And why are parents not given a list of ingredients as part of Informed Consent before they are forced to sign waivers to their rights to compensation if their child is injured or killed from a vaccine? Nowhere in nature are diseases introduced into the human body in conjunction with neurotoxins and chemicals, and nowhere in nature are up to nine diseases introduced into the human body all at once on the same day. Yet, this is exactly what we are doing every time we jab our children according to the CDC's schedule. How can we possibly expect our children to remain healthy with their immune systems under attack to that degree? If these childhood diseases are SO deadly, how did our race survive? My grandma had the measles, mumps, chicken pox, etc. She lived to a ripe old age! My mother recovered from Polio as a child, and also had measles, mumps, chicken pox. She's alive and well today, and fully supports my stance on the vaccine issue, despite having suffered from polio. I remember having the chicken pox as a kid, along with a lot of my classmates. We were all overjoyed to get a week off from school. It was hardly deadly; I watched TV and ate popsicles all week! What's wrong with letting our children's immune systems develop and strengthen naturally, by contracting these diseases and acquiring life-long, true immunity (as opposed to questionable efficacy of vaccine and the need for booster shots) the way God intended?

Also consider this: In 30-40 years the big political issue isn't going to be how we can save Medicare or whether to end the war, it's going to be how to deal with all the aging people with autism who can't care for themselves and their loving parents, who are willing to sacrifice everything to care for these children, are long dead. Think about how this is going to impact our economy and society as a whole! All in the name of " the greater good " .

I ask you again, please consider doing some thorough research on this subject and giving a fair and unbiased report of the true facts. At the very least, I urge you to do research of your own if you have children or if you ever have children in the future... for their sake.

Sincerely,

Great letter ! And hoping for good news soon about your baby arriving. Blessings for a healthy baby and mom, This is my letter to . I did send another addendum after you kindly gave me the link to 's video And thanks to those who supported my insertion that this site should remain more topical to the intent of its originators, namely being vaccine issues. It wasn't bespoke to cause a heated debate or push-pull debicle. Or shouldn't have,..... and I am sorry for that. We cant solve all the problems of the world from this site. But we can work on the business at hand, in our own small ways, to help the anti-vaccine movement find a happy, successful ending. The Big Picture, I am sure is known to most. But more benefical results will come when compassionate people work together on one specific aspect at a time, on

one piece of the puzzle at a time, for the greater good (HA) of BigPicture. Peace. Glad Day ~ Karla in IL , Reading your editorial infuriated me. The bias alone was horrendous and glaringly obvious. No Vaccine has Ever been deemed safe. If they were, they would be insurable. No vaccines are insurable, anywhere in the world, They are one of the only things that one cannot buy protection from...namely vaccine injury and vaccine death. And our own government protects them from being sued or held liable. There is something very wrong with this picture. They KNOW how dangerous vaccine really are, the makers as well as the insurance companies. One can buy high-risk insurance, such as for skydiving, racecar driver, mountain climbers, etc. - but Not for any vaccine. The manufacturers make sure doctors and other pushers remain

in the dark. Accepted dogma and coersive press and misinformation is rampant in our society about the good vaccines do. BigVac is a huge conglomeration, in the underworldly pyramid scheme of so many who cash in along that ruthless shadowy route. There has been no proof that vaccines have cured or eliminated any disease. Read your history of the stomach churning timeline of vaccinolgy, and that their continuity has come out of sheer greed and the duping by BigPharm and their Ad-men, (for centuries) Futhermore, there has not been any real or conclusive studies that vaccines even work. And hardly any studies of efficy or malfescence. How would anyone know who may or may not get a disease, and call that science - or even prevention? No one is a fortune teller in that arena! No one. I hope in the future you do your homework, before attempting to produce

articles like these, that are so blinded and uninformed. And also the issue of vaccines is so volatile and controversial these day, yet you have submitted a *piece* with such uninformed complacency and lack of any empathy for the real causes and concerns. You have no idea how many people are against vaccinating. It's not just parents of children. It is doctors and lawyers, teachers and chiropracter, health food distributors, healers, and grandparents, and just a whole lot of common and concerned citizens everywhere. Wake up to the dangers of the vaccine practices, and who is behind them. Have you ever even looked at a vaccine insert label for any vaccine, their awlful contents, the side effects, the cautions, the adverse reactions? Or know that only about 5%-15% of the real adverse reactions (and many kinds of them) are being reported to VARS? Or the growing and alarming numbers of

legal suits filed in the vaccine injury court, for vaccine injury compensation appeals. (which we, the taxpayers fund) Vaccine injuries are being so under-reported, because doctors done file them, or injuries are milder, and harder to prove. Parents of vaccine injured children suffer so much too, trying to help their sick kids cope with their many illnesses that stem from the assorted vaccines, This cost to society is staggering. The best vaccine is No vaccine! Nature takes it course ~ when allowed. Man can never duplicate the wonder of nature. Vaccines are making our children, us adults and the elderly very sick, in so many short and long term ways, and not just the autism issues. There is more incidence of childhood cancers and leukemia, diabetes, immune disorders, asthma, allergies, learning and attention disorders, bipolar, etc., all the way to alzheimers and parkenson's in seniors. Vaccines may indeed be

changing our DNA for the worse, when foreign antigens are entered into the body in these unnatural ways. Getting immunities the natural way, is the best way. And with that thought, reminds us of the natural way nature controls population, sadly as it may seem, thru the natural order of survival of the fittest. The way it is going now, more people are surviving, but are being kept sick and harmed and unhealthy, due to vaccines. More may appear to be living, but BigPharm and the vaccinators are keeping us ill for their profit, from crib to the crypt.!!! And reaping their glorious profits, in the Bogus name of herd immunity, Bull! Are we wiping out the future for our children and mankind? I cannot wait for the day when our history books talk about the horrors of the vaccine era. It will surely happen, whether I or you are still here to see it or not. May we all live that long, cosidering all the other

clear and present dangers abounding. Also, most of the vaccines today are given for diseases that do not even exist any more, and NOT because of vaccines. Vaccines keep diseases alive or revived thru man-made vaccines, many of which have been Naturally eradicated. Mad scientist keep these dangerous diseases alive in their bio labs. More people get sick and die from vaccines than the actual diseases did, most of which were/are easily treatable! Even the extinct vaccine they Keep supplying, And its kept alive by vaccines, not eliminated, as most vaccinable vaccines would have run their course. You are more than likely going to Catch the flu, for instance, if you are around someone who has recently been vaccinated for it. If you cannot retract most of that story, at least give a try at projecting the balance of such a story, by giving all the facts, and histrionics, not just a one-sided view.

Readers have little respect for writers who pick sides, and dont know what they are talking about, or who idlely sit on a fence and make up words for print and other media, for your own paycheck purposes. Vaccines are very dangerous indeed. It is a study in terror at the very least, with ongoing experimentation on the masses. If you note where most of the studies are coming from before new vaccine are accepted, you will see that these testings are done on poor, third world countries. And the trials conducted kill so many, and most of these people and children are sick and hungry in the first place!! And with poor living conditions. And the vaccine makers hide the bad press of these trial studies, for as long as they can make megabucks, or until they get Caught red-handed. And they have, time and time again. They will just go on making more poison, and call it something else. The vaccine game is well

under way in all corners of the globe. Do not downplay or discount this growing knowlege by a really large portion of the populous. And the continued desire for and by the people to take back their health and human rights to refuse anything, all poisons/toxins, genocidal testing and experimentation and all the dangers forced on us. Nobody has any rights passed our skin! Not the government, the CDC, the AAP, the schools. No Science is an exact science. Think for yourself and question authority. A good thing to remember to do, when you are quoting so called experts or authorities in your future articles. Investigative reporting should be just that, INVESTIGATED> And also read the history of the FDA, in regards to vaccine laws - Breaking all the rules with convenient and

altered regulations since their original inception of 1903. I doubt you will even read any of the following links. A closed mind is a dangerous thing, esp. coming from the media. Thanks for listening, anyway. And I think you should be ashamed of your article. Do your homework before producing this kind of eroneous Fluff. It just fuels the cause for anti-vaccine activist. SO, we will thank you for that, at least. Cordially, K.
