Why We Need to Reexamine



         the Risk/Benefit Tradeoffs


         of Vaccines



                by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, MIT









                                        he recent media blitz on the measles outbreak in

                                        Disneyland has caused even greater polarization
                              Tthan that which previously existed between pro-
                              vaccine and anti-vaccine camps. State governments have

                              jumped on the notion that measles remains a threat, taking

                              this opportunity to pass even more stringent laws restricting
                              parents’ rights to refuse vaccination for their children.
                              Pro-vaccine enthusiasts are delighted that clamping down

                              on the right to refuse vaccines will push the percentage

                              vaccinated up towards 100 percent.

                                  But parents who are legitimately concerned over possible harm from the
                              adverse reactions to vaccines now feel threatened that “medical tyranny”
                              will force them to stand by helplessly as they watch their child get injected
                              with the toxic chemical soup that’s contained in most vaccines. Both sides
                              feel outrage for the same reason: concern that their children will suffer
                              consequences if their belief system is not upheld.
