cinating, the diseases will come back with a vengeance. Instead of receiv-
ing an accurate picture of vaccine effectiveness and risks, we receive an
oversimplified yet frightening portrayal of disease dangers, while the risk
of vaccine-injury or death is written off as “one in a million.”
A lot of the information we receive about vaccines and the diseases they
are meant to prevent is true. However, much of it is misleading by virtue
of omission. On the other hand, some of what we are told about vaccines is
simply untrue. In this publication, we have undertaken the job of filling in
the huge information gap and discerning fact from fiction.
Even if vaccine choice was offered, it would be illusory. Why? Because under
the current circumstances, the decision to vaccinate is usually rendered
through frightening misinformation. The most common refrain we hear is:
“Do you want to go back to the days of polio?” Well, we’re not sure that those
days ever really ended. Read on to find out why. The only way to make a deci-
sion that is not clouded by fear is to expose the reality behind the illusion.
From our research (and for some of us, from personal experience) many
more that “one in a million” lives have been ruined by vaccines. We don’t
want any more people to be hurt needlessly. This is what motivates us.
Based on the feedback we received from our readers, we’ve made every ef-
fort to cover topics of greatest interest and importance. We have also kept
some of the original articles and stories, as they are still as relevant as ever.
We encourage you to explore both sides, and make an educated decision.
Or, you could decide for yourself.

ized that the deaths corresponded

that these babies were severely

Never Vaccinate a Sick Child:


When a child is sick or has recently
been ill, their immune system is in
a weakened state, and may not be
able to handle vaccines. Regardless of
reassurance health care providers may
give you, vaccinating sick children is
dangerous. Wait until seasonal aller-
