WAPF POLICY ON VACCINES

The Weston A. Price Foundation has received emails or letters from about one dozen individuals objecting to the
strong stance we have taken against vaccines. We respectfully request that these individuals use the same lens through
which they view mainstream nutritional advice, watch the films we recommend and read the research we present.
Moreover, please understand that no vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study has ever been conducted, that federal law
recognizes that vaccines injure and kill, that a federal program has paid out over three billion dollars to vaccine victims,
and that those who manufacture and administer vaccines bear zero liability for them. Vaccines injure and kill far more
people than governments and health authorities openly admit, but no one can tell you in advance what kind of injury
you or your child might suffer.
Your children are depending on you to make the right decisions for them and to do your research on any medical
procedure before giving your consent. Of course you need to protect them from illness, but the best way to do this is
with our dietary principles, not with vaccines containing a host of harmful ingredients. Once these ingredients go into
the bloodstream of your child, you cannot take them out.
We encourage you to watch The Greater Good as well as the new movie Vaxxed: From Cover Up to Catastrophe, which
documents fraud and cover-up at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the vaccine-autism link.
Parents of vaccine-injured children—who will be taking care of these children throughout adulthood—will tell you that
no vaccine is worth the risk.
