Know the facts before you get injected, your life
may depend on it.

• If the smallpox vaccine was given today 50
  million Americans would be at risk for injury or
  death if they are exposed to the live vaccinia
  virus either directly by getting vaccinated or by
  coming into contact with someone who has been
  recently. (Barbara Loe Fisher Director of the
  National Vaccine Information Center).

Many diseases are linked to vaccines. And
sometimes you can transmit these diseases to
other people.

The Thimerosal and Autism Link

This product should be considered equivalent to
thimerosal-free products.This vaccine may
contain trace amounts (lt0.3 mcg) of mercury left
after post-production thimerosal removal these
amounts have no biological effect.   JAMA

Contamination

In 1798, Dr.Edward Jenner, observed that
milkmaids were resistant to smallpox. Most of the
milkmaids Jenner studied had been infected with
cowpox in the course of their occupation. Cowpox
and smallpox are related viruses. Milkmaids were
exposed to a weakened version of the pox virus,
which gave them immunity to the more virulent
smallpox. Dr. Edward Jenners observation of
milkmaids paved the way to a safer smallpox
vaccine using fluid from cowpox lesions.

Proof that the vaccines do not always work.

Contrary to popular belief smallpox was not
eradicated by mass vaccination. Though tried
initially it proved difficult to implement in
many countries and was abandoned in favor of
surveillance-containment. This involved trained
workers searching for cases, with rewards for
those who found them. Cases and their contacts
were then isolated contacts were vaccinated.
The last natural case occurred in Somalia in
1977 and after exhaustive enquiries the 1980 WHO
Assembly concluded that smallpox had been
eradicated. (Baxby, Derrick. March 1999.The End
of Smallpox. http//www.findarticles.com/cf_1/m13

that only 10 of vaccine reactions get reported.

If you do decide to get vaccinated, ask yourself
these questions

• 1-Am I sick right now?
• 2-Have I had a bad reaction to a vaccination
  before?
• 3-Do I have family history of
• Vaccine reactions
• Convulsions or neurological disorders
• Severe allergies
• Immune system disorders
• 4-Do I know if I am at high risk of reacting?
• 5-Do I have full information on the vaccine's
  side effects?
• 6-Do I know how to identify a vaccine reaction?
