Komarovsky about vaccinations. Very useful article!

Girls, really, read, for me there were a lot of interesting points that I didn’t know (for example, honestly, I didn’t know that if a child didn’t have a bowel movement, you can’t get vaccinated that day)

If you are convinced that anyone who speaks out in favor of vaccinations is a person who has clearly sold out to vaccine manufacturers, you don’t need to read this at all. If you are an ardent opponent of vaccination, if you have already decided everything for yourself and for your child, you do not need to read this at all. This article is intended for parents who understand that vaccinations are a real and highly effective way to prevent infectious diseases, but a method associated with certain risks. That is why prudent and sensible mothers and fathers should know and try to practically implement a certain algorithm of actions that can significantly reduce the risk. It is these actions (real and practical) that we will talk about.

* * *

So, in the entire complex of problems associated with vaccination, three areas can be distinguished that require separate consideration:

1) Vaccine preparation.
2) Child.
3) Vaccination conditions - that is, the parameters under which the paths of the child and the vaccine intersect.

Let us immediately note that the ability of parents to influence the three designated areas is far from equivalent. They are minimal in relation to the vaccine, maximum in relation to the child and very significant when it comes to the conditions of vaccination.

Vaccine drug

The main thing is that not a single obviously bad or low-quality drug has been registered either in Russia or in Ukraine. They (the drugs) can differ very significantly in price, moderately differ in effectiveness, tolerability, likelihood of reactions and complications. Since of all the vaccines that exist today, reactions to the whooping cough vaccine are the most common, it is not surprising that we will pay attention to this particular vaccine and discuss the possibilities of choice using its example. The whooping cough vaccine is a standard component of such vaccine preparations as DPT, Tetracok, Infanrix. In Infanrix, the pertussis component is maximally split, which, however, does not affect the effectiveness of vaccination, but greatly reduces both the severity and the very likelihood of reactions occurring. Now about the practical results of vaccination. I warn you right away: everything I’m writing about now is personal experience and personal observations, which is why, in fact, this material is posted on a personal blog. Those who trust take it into account, others consider it as food for thought. Since 2000, I have not seen a single child with whooping cough who had been vaccinated with Tetracoc or Infanrix. There are as many patients with whooping cough who, judging by the entries in the card, were correctly and timely vaccinated with the DTP vaccine. True, there are practically no severe forms of the disease, but there are many patients. Reactions to vaccination after Tetracoc and DPT are almost the same in frequency and severity, sometimes it even seems that Tetracoc is less tolerated, at least local tissue reactions are more common. Infanrix is generally well tolerated. DPT is done free of charge, Tetrakok and Infanrix, as a rule, need to be purchased. The price is steep. Tetracok and Infanrix are single-dose packaging (one syringe, one vial = one patient). DTP - 2 doses in an ampoule (why, why, for whom??? - it’s completely unclear). All drugs are sensitive to storage conditions and should be stored and transported exclusively in the refrigerator. General results: Infanrix - effective, minimal reactions, expensive. Tetrakok - effective, reactions are not uncommon, expensive. DTP is effective in most cases, reactions are not uncommon, free of charge. Choose! Theoretically, almost all vaccines can be analyzed in this way. Well, for example: OPV (oral polio vaccine, live virus) - no need to give an injection, maximum effectiveness, well tolerated, free, but in one case in a million (several million) VAP (vaccine-associated polio) is possible; IPV (injectable polio vaccine, killed virus) - requires an injection, maximum effectiveness, well tolerated, often paid for, in any case more expensive than OPV; VAP is not possible. The country (the state) has the material opportunity to choose—wonderful. The country does not have the opportunity, but you personally do - choose. But in fact, the main thing is different, and this is completely obvious. 1 million children received the same vaccine drug (absolutely identical). 999,999 tolerated it perfectly, and 1 got sick. The vast majority of children tolerate the DTP vaccine normally or with minor and short-term reactions (absolutely the same for everyone). But sometimes serious complications are possible. It is clear that since the drug is the same in all cases, but the health status of those vaccinated is different, then in most cases the root cause of complications is the characteristics of the body, and not the poor quality of the drug. The likelihood of complications can be reduced by choosing the least reactogenic vaccine, but this choice is not always possible, if only because in the country where you are lucky enough to live, Infanrix may not be registered, or IPV has not been brought to your city, or your family does not have financial opportunity to buy a tetracok. Nevertheless, I would like to once again emphasize what we started with: not a single obviously bad or low-quality drug has been registered either in Russia or in Ukraine. In most cases, parents have no ability to influence the quality of vaccines, but this “inability to influence” has a very small effect on the results of vaccination. At the same time, it is parents who have enormous and real opportunities to influence the health status of the vaccinated child.

Child

First of all, it should be stated that the education system influences the results of vaccination in the most fundamental way. If you know how to properly care for a child: feed, dress, walk, bathe, condition, provide assistance with simple respiratory viral infections - so, if you not only know all this, but also put it into practice, the likelihood is that your The child will tolerate vaccinations without any problems, maximum. We will not teach the correct care here; enough has already been written about this. In practice, the situation is often as follows: a child gets little or no walks, lives in a stuffy room, is overfed, is fed juices from the age of one month, is wrapped up, is actively kissed and licked by a bunch of relatives, is actively treated for a runny nose with a bunch of medications (his nose is sniffling because it contains mucus that has dried out due to the heat)... The vaccination turns out to be the last straw, which overwhelms the immune system’s patience, but, of course, the vaccination is to blame. So, the first and mandatory condition for preparation is a normal lifestyle. Following. At the time of vaccination, the child must be healthy. And healthy, first of all, from the mother’s point of view! It is clear and obvious that the body temperature should be normal and that there should be no other complaints. But not only that! Behavior, mood, appetite, sleep - everything is as always. The doctor may not know that the baby was acting up for some unknown reason at night, or that for some reason he didn’t finish his favorite kefir this morning. But mom is obliged to react. Observe, wait, postpone. In the end, no one better than a mother can sense the child’s condition and say the phrase “something is wrong.” At the same time, if a child has had snot for three weeks now, with a normal temperature and excellent appetite, it is clear that this snot does not put any strain on the immune system and will not interfere with vaccination. If there are manifestations of allergic dermatitis, vaccination can be done only when there are no new rashes for at least 3 weeks. But here (rash, snot, any real symptoms) the last word belongs to the doctor. If you doubt it, this is a real reason to do a clinical (general) blood test on the eve of vaccination. If you do this analysis on your own initiative (i.e., at your own expense), pay a little more, but ask them to determine the platelet level and clotting time - an additional safety net. Very, very important! The less stress on the intestines, the easier the vaccination is tolerated. Therefore, for three days - the day before vaccination, on the day of vaccination and the next day - try to limit the volume and concentration of food eaten as much as possible. Don't offer food unless asked. In any soup, in any porridge, a spoon can float or stand. Make it float and sink very quickly. When using milk formulas or ready-made instant cereals for baby food, you must deliberately reduce the concentration. It is written on the package: add 6 tablespoons of powder to 200 ml of water. Put in 5! And if the child is overweight - 4.5!

With natural feeding, problems usually do not occur - breast milk in itself is an excellent prevention of post-vaccination reactions, but in a situation where the baby is fed on demand, problems may develop. The bottom line: after vaccination, the child may well experience moderate discomfort, which is manifested by greater moodiness. And since the baby cries more, then, of course, it is also located more near the breast. Accordingly, on the day of vaccination, the child eats more food than on normal days, then his stomach hurts, and, as usual, the vaccination is to blame. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that supporters of on-demand feeding, as a rule, do not give children any liquid other than milk, so there is no way to reduce the amount of food. If we are talking about free feeding, then the algorithm of actions is as follows: - if you can give him something to drink, or you can feed him, then you should give him something to drink; - if you can feed now, or in half an hour, then try very hard so that in half an hour; - if you can hold it on your chest for 10 minutes, or you can hold it for 30, it’s better than 10... The next safety precautions. You cannot vaccinate if the child has not had a bowel movement for 24 hours before the vaccination. You're going to the clinic today, and you haven't pooped since yesterday? Do a cleansing enema and place a glycerin suppository.

In principle, I draw your attention: the presence of constipation in a child (even with natural feeding) increases the risk of adverse reactions after vaccinations. Therefore, no matter what you read about how it is completely normal to poop while breastfeeding once every 5 days, try to help the baby (lactulose syrup), achieve regular bowel movements, then you can think about vaccinations... If for some reason you If you give your child vitamin D in addition to breast milk or formula, stop taking it 2-3 days before the planned vaccination and resume no earlier than 5 days later. Vitamin D, as you know, regulates calcium metabolism in the body, and calcium metabolism disorders underlie allergic reactions. The slightest overdose of vitamin D increases the likelihood of allergies, so it is better not to experiment. From the same point of view, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to give your child calcium 3 days before and after vaccination. Just under no circumstances buy anything expensive, ionized, soluble, etc. Regular, penny white calcium gluconate - 1 tablet per day, at a time. Crush (grind in a coffee grinder), add to milk, feed. The dose does not depend on age - excess calcium is simply not absorbed (not absorbed). It is impossible to prepare a child for vaccination with any medications. Most medications that supposedly make vaccination easier to tolerate are used as a form of psychotherapy for relatives and doctors. In any case, do not give anything on your own initiative. If the doctor insists on using antihistamines, do not use drugs such as suprastin and tavegil (they “dry out” the mucous membranes, and if there is a rise in temperature after vaccination, the combination of these two factors may increase the risk of complications from the respiratory tract). In any case, taking antihistamines should be combined with taking calcium supplements. When going to the clinic for vaccination, try very, very hard not to overdo it with clothes. It would be extremely undesirable if the vaccine is given to a heavily sweating baby with a lack of fluid in the body. If you do end up in the clinic sweating, wait, change your clothes, and give them a good drink. Do not feed for at least an hour before and after vaccination. After vaccination, wait until the last minute to eat, as they say. Drink, entertain, distract. If you manage not to feed for three hours, it will be just wonderful. So, on the day of vaccination, the child should be healthy, pumped up and preferably at least moderately hungry. The most common reaction to vaccination is an increase in body temperature. You need to be prepared for this in advance, so you don’t have to wait for the temperature and then run to the pharmacies. It is imperative to have in the house ready-made powders from which solutions for oral rehydration are made (replenishment of fluid loss through the mouth) - rehydron, humana electrolyte, gastrolit, glucosolan, etc. Among antipyretics you should have: - paracetamol (panadol, efferalgan, Tylenol, etc. .d.) in candles; — ibuprofen (Nurofen, Burana, etc.) in syrup; - nimesulide (nise, nimide, nimegesic, nimesil, etc.) in solution or syrup. Any temperature above normal after vaccination (certainly anything above 37.3 °C in the armpit) is a real reason to use antipyretics. If the body temperature is below 38 ° C - paracetamol in suppositories or ibuprofen. Before bedtime, candles are optimal. At temperatures above 38 °C - only oral liquid dosage forms, primarily ibuprofen. If nurofen and paracetamol do not help, then nimesulide. Any increase in temperature after vaccination, in addition to the use of the above-mentioned medications, requires: - maintaining a regime of cool, moist air: ideal temperature - 18 - maximum 20 ° C, relative humidity - 50-70%; - maximum restriction of any food; - drink plenty of fluids, ideally use the above-mentioned oral rehydration solutions (often, in small doses, solution temperature = body temperature). Walking (walking in the fresh air). After vaccination at normal body temperature, the more, the better. Bathing. On the day of vaccination, it is better to refrain from swimming. Then in normal mode. If there is an increase in temperature, limit yourself to hygienic wiping (wet wipes).

Vaccination conditions

First, a revealing illustration of our capabilities. Remember, we wrote about DPT, Tetracok, Infanrix: all drugs are sensitive to storage conditions and should be stored and transported exclusively in the refrigerator. If, on the advice of a doctor, you decide to purchase Infanrix at a pharmacy, then purchase (borrow, rent) a cooler bag and cold packs first... Personally, I am convinced that the DTP vaccine is no less effective than Tetrakok or Infanrix, but in relation to this storage conditions of the drug are more often violated. This is due, first of all, to its cost (more precisely, its free nature). It’s hard to imagine that a person who paid his own $50 for Infanrix would put the ampoule in his pocket and get on the tram. None of the parents can be sure that the drug that the vaccination room nurse or pharmacy worker took out of the refrigerator before your eyes was stored correctly before it entered the refrigerator. A doctor came to your home with a cooler bag and removed an ampoule from this bag. You can either trust or not trust this doctor, but neither you nor this doctor knows anything about how the ampoule was stored before it went into the cooler bag. Let us state a fact: vaccine storage is a weak and one of the least controlled links in the entire chain of problems associated with vaccination. The radical solution is on the technical plane, and taking into account the capabilities of modern technology, this solution is not complicated - each ampoule, or at least each package of ampoules, must have an indicator that permanently changes color in a situation where the ambient temperature exceeds, say, 10 ° C. It is clear that everything described has nothing to do with the specific actions of specific parents. These are wishes - to the state, the consumer protection society, vaccine manufacturers... But, nevertheless, parents can definitely control the last stage. The vaccine must be removed from the refrigerator before your eyes, after which one of the adults takes it (ampoule, bottle) in the hand and warms it with the heat of their body. Cold hands - you can breathe on the ampoule, put it under your arm, etc. But in any case, you should see and feel the cold ampoule with your own eyes! If you come and it (the ampoule) is already warm, if an already warm ampoule is brought to your house, you cannot be sure of anything, you do not know how long it has been warm.

* * *

You cannot vaccinate in unusual, non-standard climatic conditions for a given child. If it’s terribly hot outside, and dad hasn’t started working on the air conditioning yet, then it’s okay to wait. You cannot immediately before and immediately after vaccination (2 days before, 3 days after) look for the infection by unnecessarily visiting crowded places and inviting guests. You should not get vaccinated if there is a real risk of getting sick. If dad came home from work yesterday covered in snot, if today his older brother started having diarrhea, it is, to put it mildly, wrong to vaccinate a still healthy child. Nevertheless, for a child in the first year of life, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the real risk of getting sick is associated not with a snotty dad, but with a trip to the clinic. Classic situation: the child is 3 months old. 3 months is the period when the antibodies inherited from the mother by the child cease to exist. 3 months is a visit to the clinic. Visit to medical specialists. 3-4 lines to the doctor's office. In this case, the child is in the corridor of the clinic, i.e., where the probability of meeting a patient is clearly higher than the statistical average. And now, after all the doctors say that the baby is healthy and can be vaccinated, the last line will come, to the vaccination room. And the child will receive the DTP vaccine. He will receive it exactly on the day when he had at least 20 contacts with strangers. And after two days a cough will begin and a fever will appear. And the vaccine will be to blame. So, let us repeat: it is extremely undesirable to get vaccinated when there is a real risk of getting sick. And such a day is very often the day of visiting the clinic. I strongly advise you to separate the time between visits to numerous offices and vaccination. We visited the specialists and everyone gave the go-ahead. Amazing. We returned home, remember that the incubation period of most acute respiratory viral infections does not exceed 2 days. If after 2 days the child is healthy, you can get ready for vaccination. However, you will not be able to avoid one queue - directly to the vaccination office. If you have the opportunity not to sit in the corridor, but to take a turn and take a walk, take a walk. If you have the opportunity to seat your dad, grandma, or older brother in the queue, but don’t poke your nose into the hallway ahead of time, don’t bother. Take a walk in the fresh air. When the time comes, they will call. In any case, during your stay in the clinic, try to undress the child in a timely manner (so as not to sweat) and have with you one of the saline solutions in the form of drops for introduction into the nasal passages (saline, aqua maris, regular saline, etc.). Place the mentioned drops in the child’s nose every 15-20 minutes, 2-3 drops in each nostril (a real reduction in the likelihood of ARVI). Immediately after the vaccination, theoretically, you cannot go home, and the doctor will warn you to sit in the corridor for about 30 minutes. This is correct (not to leave), but it is still better to walk for an hour in the fresh air near the clinic. Combining the risk of vaccination and the risk of infection with ARVI is one of the main contradictions of the entire system of organizing vaccinations. It is clear that this contradiction can only be resolved through certain organizational efforts. And it's actually not that difficult at all. It would seem, why can’t one person who has received a diploma as a pediatrician examine a child and decide whether vaccinations can be done or not? Why can’t a doctor come to our home, examine us, decide what is possible, and immediately administer the vaccine? Who needs to go to crowded clinics, queues, and be examined by numerous specialists? It would seem that the questions are rhetorical, but as long as children's doctors are poor, dependent and powerless, they will also be irresponsible, since there is nothing to take from them. But this is all a lyrical digression, but in reality: why can’t you vaccinate at home? By the way, I should note that vaccination at home is not possible according to the instructions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Russian regulations do not prohibit this. But they do not encourage, limit, warn. This is explained by the fact that after any vaccine, a life-threatening acute allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock can occur. And there are two extremely paradoxical points here. - anaphylactic shock after antibiotic injections is much more common than after vaccines. But thousands of nurses give tens of thousands of antibiotic injections to children at home every day, and for some reason no one prohibits this; - emergency care for anaphylactic shock in a clinic consists of several drugs being administered intramuscularly to the child, and while someone is administering the injection, the rest are fussing and waiting for an ambulance. Nothing else can be done in our clinics - there are neither conditions (resuscitation equipment) nor people (who know how to use resuscitation equipment). Thus, if the doctor has with him something to inject intramuscularly (the same few drugs), then the possibilities of providing emergency care at home and in the clinic are approximately the same. Summary: the risk of vaccination at home and in the clinic is the same, the risk of co-infection is not comparable. It turns out that whenever there is an opportunity to get vaccinated at home, it is safer to get vaccinated at home. It should be noted: if you managed to agree that your child will be vaccinated at home, then in almost 100% of cases the child will be vaccinated for a fee. Since you pay, you have the right to demand something (take off your boots, wash your hands) and control something (the presence of a cooler bag and a first aid kit for providing first aid in case of complications). Having considered the topic of infection before vaccination, let’s turn our attention to infection after. This provision is especially relevant when vaccinations are carried out in children's groups. It’s optimal when vaccinations are done on Friday - then there are two days off ahead, with family and minimal contact with snotty peers. It is only important that a trip to the circus is not planned for this post-vaccination day...

Results

The main thing I want to say is that vaccine tolerance is determined by a combination of many factors. At the same time, the quality of the vaccine preparation has incomparably less influence on the final result than the preparation of the child and the correct organization of the procedure. The easiest thing is to do nothing, not be interested in anything, to care for the child in accordance with the demands of public opinion. And then the overheated and overfed baby, after an hour of wandering through the corridors of the clinic, will return home to a room with a carpet and a heater and eat an additional portion of the mixture as a bite with orange juice... And when after that the temperature rises, or vomiting occurs, or the stomach hurts, or a rash appears, so It’s clear that the vaccine mafia is to blame for all this!

The truth about vaccinations

Authors : Sukhinin D.

In the world of medicine, there are only a few true miracles that have changed our human world. These are antibiotics - with their advent, people stopped dying en masse from infections and wounds, vaccinations - humanity received protection from infections that are not susceptible to antibiotics, and sildenafil - cures more than 80% of impotent people.

And now, someone is attacking one of these miracles, claiming that vaccinations can cause harm. What would that mean? If you look closely, you can see that there is a real war against vaccinations in the media and on the Internet. It is easy to find a lot of publications that claim that:

vaccinations cause irreparable harm to children (this is scary);
do not protect against infections (that is, they are ineffective);
vaccines contain extremely harmful substances;
Vaccine manufacturers make money from tears and illnesses.

Let's try to figure out what's really going on: are knights in white robes trying to save us from an insidious conspiracy of pharmacists, or is there a banal PR campaign designed to free up part of the market to increase the volume of a competing market?

Who benefits from this?

Let's try to consider the arguments of both sides and, first of all, get to know the opponents of vaccinations. Among the names most often cited in this regard, the first place is occupied by homeopath Alexander Kotok, author of the book “Ruthless Immunization” (it is not difficult to find on the Internet - Google returns 4600 links!). He is also listed as one of the inspirers of the creation of the documentary “The Truth About Vaccinations” - it repeats all the same arguments, reinforced by specially selected video sequences.

Perhaps this man is at the head of the anti-vaccination movement - who is he and what motivates him? The author's doctoral dissertation is devoted to the history of homeopathy in Russia, from which we can conclude that the author is more of a historian than a practicing physician. By the way, in the preface to the book, the author calls himself a doctor of medicine and signs Ph.D. In fact, this is not entirely true - Ph.D. similar to our candidate of sciences and literally means “doctor of philosophy.”

But this is not the main thing: literally on every page of the book you can find convincing arguments against vaccinations. There are so many of them that doubt involuntarily creeps in: is it really true? Most of the arguments presented in the book cannot be verified by the reader, but many other arguments are clearly manipulative in nature.

For example: “... there is no reliable information that this disease (smallpox) seriously troubled the human community before the beginning of the new era.” But the medical historian forgets some facts, for example, about the smallpox pandemic of 1870-1874 (a pandemic is an epidemic that captured several countries), and about the smallpox epidemic in 1610 in Siberia, when people left their homes in panic, and also about that after the invasion of Cortez, 27 million Incas died from smallpox. Since he is a historian, he probably does not forget, but tries (not without success) to manipulate the reader.

Here is another quote: “The uniqueness of vaccinations as a medical intervention is that they endanger healthy people and are not intended to improve their current state of health” - a clearly one-sided and clearly biased coverage of the problem. Or even: “Vaccinated people are required to expose themselves to a real risk of health problems and even death...” - of course, such statements can be frightening.

And they are frightening - after all, most readers are not able to verify such information or subject it to critical analysis. It becomes especially scary if you imagine that all the troubles described threaten your child. It is the book’s obvious focus on intimidating the reader that allows us to assume that it is part of a PR campaign aimed at discrediting vaccinations in the eyes of the public.

We asked an expert in the field of registration of pharmaceuticals, a real doctor of medical sciences and medical editor of several scientific publications (he asked not to give his name) to comment on the controversy - he confidently said that such propaganda is a crime. The author of the book actually proposes to throw humanity back - to the Middle Ages.

Dangerous Misconceptions

Having confirmed the bias of one individual homeopath regarding vaccinations, we will try to critically examine some of his more egregious statements. Mainly because these misconceptions circulate separately from their author and in fact seriously upset the nerves of many parents and force them to refuse vaccinations - and thereby cause harm.

Let's consider exactly those statements that seem to be the most terrible arguments of opponents of vaccinations.

1. It is better to get over childhood infections than to be “artificially” vaccinated

What diseases are vaccinated against? - from severe, widespread and socially significant diseases. No one was included in this list by chance. Consider one example: measles is one of the most contagious diseases known today. In 2006, according to official data, 242,000 people died from measles worldwide, most of them children. Measles has terrible complications:

pneumonia (viral-bacterial origin, prone to abscess formation and difficult to treat) is the most common cause of death;
eye lesions - conjunctivitis and keratitis (sometimes leading to blindness);
otitis and sinusitis;
encephalitis and meningoencephalitis (deadly and disabling complications).

Measles complications most often develop in children under five years of age or adults over 20 years of age.

2. Vaccines do not help - that is, vaccination does not protect against the disease.

Such a statement can be found in the book mentioned, however, it is not substantiated in any way. That is, the discussion takes place at the level of argumentation “the fool himself.” A search for publications regarding confirmation/refutation of this information gave us an article in the authoritative Russian Medical Journal (RMJ), which claims that, for example, the flu vaccine can save 67% of older people from death (the study included people from a high-risk group) - this seems to be a fairly weighty argument. This figure is the result of a meta-analysis, the most reliable method for assessing the results of clinical drug trials.

To be clear, this article is about older people because they are most at risk of dying from complications of the flu. As for young people, in the case of the flu, the risk of dying is much lower, but the decision about the need to get vaccinated should be made individually.

3. Vaccines cause autism

The first evidence of a possible link between measles vaccination and autism appeared in the late 1990s. In response to such serious allegations, WHO initiated an investigation, which was entrusted to the Committee on Vaccine Safety. Studies have shown that there is no causal connection between the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) and the development of autism - this is official data, not fiction.

4. Mercury-containing vaccines are dangerous.

In 1999, reports appeared in the United States about the toxicity of vaccines containing thiomersal (a mercury-containing organic compound), also known as merthiolate, as a preservative. This substance has been associated with impaired development of the nervous system in children, including autism.

How true is this? Let's calculate: the amount of merthiolate in a milliliter of vaccine (25 mcg) approximately corresponds to 12 mcg of mercury. If you consider that 0.5 ml is administered one time, it will be approximately 6 mcg. WHO has established a safe limit for mercury intake in the human body - 5 mcg/kg per week. That is, if the baby weighs approximately 3-6 kg, then the dose of mercury does not exceed the safe one.

For comparison. According to WHO, 1 liter of drinking water contains 1 mcg of mercury; according to data from other sources, natural water contains 0.5 mg/l (that is, 500 mcg/l) of mercury.

That is, the amount of mercury released from the vaccine is significantly less than that released from natural background pollutants.

5. Vaccines contain formaldehyde and phenol as preservatives

Indeed, they do, and the book “Ruthless Immunization” says the following about this: “The penetration of formaldehyde into the digestive tract causes symptoms of severe poisoning - severe abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, the appearance of protein and blood in the urine, kidney damage, which results in the cessation of separation urine, acidosis, dizziness, coma and death."

Feel your ears - have they increased in size? It seems that someone is trying to make us an ass. This is a cynical and rather vile manipulation. Drink a glass of formaldehyde and you will be poisoned - it's true. But if you eat the same amount of regular table salt, you will also die. The author forgot to mention the dose - in the amount in which formaldehyde or phenol is contained in vaccines, they are easily utilized by the body's enzyme systems. That is, they are absolutely harmless.

Compare: a diabetic is forced to inject himself daily with insulin, which uses formaldehyde as a preservative. And so - throughout life. And nothing…

Have we become more literate?

Let's discuss what we read.

The reason for the problem with vaccinations is that black PR specialists exploit our fears. Half-knowledge is worse than complete ignorance: worried about rumors about the dangers of vaccinations, parents rush into the maelstrom of medical literature designed for specialists. And what do they see? Lists of side effects are described in any reference book: “allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, autoimmune processes, immunosuppression, even death” - these words were written for a specialist and are intended to help and warn, not to scare.

Readers do not know the main thing: what is the ratio of benefit and harm? Here's an example: according to statistics, every thousandth person who gets measles will get a serious complication - encephalitis. Among vaccinated people there is also a risk - one person in a million! This means that for every million, 999 people will be saved. These data are from the World Health Organization, the most authoritative international organization whose sole task is our health.

Isn't this data eloquent? But not everyone can get to the bottom of them, because to do this you need to read scientific papers and visit medical libraries - this is what black PR people are counting on. And for us, ordinary people, the media of disinformation are much more accessible, which, instead of the truth, try to palm us off with another scare - people are eating it. Therefore, let's ask questions out loud, and not delve into our heads and then suffer from our own “pseudo-scientific” conclusions.

Conclusions are being drawn

We defeated smallpox - since 1978, no one has been vaccinated against smallpox. But the plan to eradicate measles by 2010 has already “failed” - due to the impossibility of full coverage of the population. According to some authors, to eliminate measles it is necessary that the percentage of immune individuals be at least 90-95% - perhaps we have become less disciplined.

We hope this article helps the reader understand the importance of trusting your doctor when recommending a vaccine. Remember: the more people vaccinated, the more lives will be saved. Globally, immunization saves over 3 million people each year, not to mention preventing illness and lifelong disability for many millions of people. And yet, we always have the right to choose.

Let's answer the last of the questions asked at the beginning of the article: do vaccine manufacturers make money from our diseases? Yes, they make money, however, we ourselves have the right to choose what to pay for: for vaccination or for treatment and a magnificent funeral in case of illness.
