I noticed that this thread got bumped, and so will throw a few factoids in to mix:
1. Correlation does not equal causality. This point cannot be overstressed, and is the main reason why people with no scientific training get sucked down rabbitholes of health disinformation.
2. More research has been done on vaccine safety in the last 15 years than all of the previous research combined. This applies to both individual vaccines, as well as the vaccine schedule as a whole. Taken as a whole, and across large populations, vaccination safety does indeed outweigh the risks. That being said:
2a. Live (attenuated) vaccines DO pose a greater risk than killed (inactivated) vaccines. This is a known fact, and is not being hidden or suppressed by governmental bodies. And contrary to misinformation stated earlier, inactivated vaccines are TRULY inactivated, because they use *pieces* of a virus or bacteria, and not the whole thing. Obviously, pieces of a microbe cannot make you ill. And as far as the antigen content of vaccines go, the percentage of overall antigen exposure that a six year old receiving the entire schedule of recommended vaccines is less than 1% of what they would naturally encounter in the world.
2b. Adjuvants added to vaccines continue to be of concern, and continue to be researched for safety. Again, this is a known fact, and is not being hidden or suppressed by governmental bodies. However, these tend to only produce a higher risk in people who have problems with their immune systems. Unfortunately, often times the first sign that a baby or child has a problem with their immune system is when they receive a vaccine. Nonetheless, whether or not they receive a vaccine, that person will continue to have problems with their immune system, and is prone to all sorts of other problems as a result. In other words, the vaccine does not cause a problem with a person's immune system. Rather, a problem with a person's immune system causes a person to have problems receiving vaccines.
2c. Although it has been clearly shown that vaccines do not cause autism (autism appears to be correlated with both genetic and environmental factors, many of which are things which happened to mom while pregnant), there actually is evidence for an indirect link between vaccines and autism. Harvard researchers found a link among certain children (again with preexisting immune problems) who were treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a vaccine-induced fever. So, while the fever itself was harmless, concerned parents wanting to "do something" for their child's vaccine-induced fever may have unwittingly triggered autism in their children by giving them acetaminophen.
Fevers are almost never harmful, and current medical recommendations are to not give a child fever reducing medications under (almost) any circumstances. In fact, if one is really concerned about harmful treatments, acetaminophen should be at the top of their list, and not vaccines.
3. Vaccine disinformation has been positively linked to Russian social media trolls whose goal are to foment discord among residents of democratic nations, and in particular Americans who appear to be particularly gullible to Russian social media trolls. And I would go so far as to say that much of the so-called "channeled" material out there (where, let's be honest, a lot of this fear-mongering around vaccines gets its source) has also been infiltrated by Russian trolls, as well as other fringe phenomenon like NESARA / the "Reval" / Dinar schemes, and Q Anon. So- please- use your own brains lest a Russian social media troll uses it for you. And remember, there really is no such thing as "Facebook research."
Well, I take that last part back. There is TONS of research being done on Facebook. But it is almost entirely
on the users, and not by the users. Plenty of great information available there for those who are wanting to learn how to manipulate others into being unwitting minions for a negative agenda of control and separation.
4. Vaccines DO- occasionally- actually harm infants.
Nobody in the medical or public health fields is denying this. But in reality, much more harm is done to infants by pillows and blankets in their cribs, bathtubs and swimming pools, and automobile accidents (particularly when there is an improperly restrained infant). So take that as you will.
5. Personally, I recoil at the idea of "forced" anything. However, the only reason this is being discussed so much nowadays, is because so many people have apparently thrown their own brains out the window in favor of propaganda being spread by Russian social media trolls. So a person (especially a spiritually minded one) might do well to consider the balance of free-will infringement upon those innocent babies who
actually can't take vaccines for legitimate medical reasons and are being put at risk for basically no good reason other than because somebody refuses to confront their own irrational fears. Surely- whether on the topic of vaccinations or any other topic- tackling one's fears and inner demons, and enjoying an increase in clear-mindedness around this or any other topic, would be beneficial to spiritual growth.
6. Perhaps most important to this post, I, myself, was quite down the rabbithole of all this anti-vaccine propaganda until I had a child myself. At which point, instead of spending even more time spinning around the Internet in a fearful frenzy whipping myself up into a panic, I actually took the time to calm the F down, turn inward, meditate, and ask for some real guidance from my own Higher Self. This led me to where I am today, with a healthy, happy, vaccinated son. So my recommendation would be neither to blindly trust in some document posted on a .GOV nor Russian trolls disguised as "concerned moms" on social media and/or "Archangel So-and-So" but to go inward and see what your own Higher Self has to say.
7. Even, after all this, if fears and concerns do persist, I might suggest that any serious student of the material presented here on this site would know that your
loving intention can easily neutralize any negative effects, or hyperdimensional malintent, which might be attached to vaccines. So, choose your battles wisely, because one day soon you may wish you had more credibility with your friends and family when the s*** really hits the fan, and you are desperately wanting to be of service to them.
