If you do enjoy life, then be thankful for the animals that were tested to find vaccinations for the dieseases that plagued the human and animal race!!

80-90% of infectious disease declined before vaccination was introduced

Numerous scholars have demonstrated, using government statistics, that the decline of infectious disease and infant mortality in the industrialised countries began many decades BEFORE mass-vaccination. For instance, in Australia, “almost 80 per cent of the reduction in infant mortality between the 1880s and the 1970s occurred prior to the 1930s.” ( Dr. R. Taylor, Medicine out of Control, 1979: p.9). Extensive vaccination did not begin in Australia until the mid-1930s and for some diseases did not commence until the 1960s and later.

+++ The decline of infectious disease was due to improvements in hygiene, nutrition, housing, and general living conditions, not vaccination. +++

The decline of infectious disease before vaccination occurred in other western countries, as documented in standard university texts such as that by Thomas McKeown.

In the US, a famous 1970s study (famous in academic circles) by McKinlay and McKinlay, concluded that medical technology (drugs etc.) had contributed only about 3% to the increase in human longevity. The rest was due to hygiene, improved nutrition, better housing, clean water etc.

claim:

Yes, some animals are treated cruelly, but the animals tested in labs have better lifes than the ones living in the wild. Without the help of those tested animals, you and I would not be here.


** reply:

Where do you get off saying that last phrase! That's ridiculous. If that were true, that our bodies are so inept and we are SO dependant on chemical potions and animal research, how was it possible for those who did vaccine-animal-testing in the late-19th century and early 20th century to survive to be able to the animl experiments - if we are all so fragile that we snuff at the slightest infection????


** MOST PEOPLE (in hygienic, well-fed societies) ARE NATURALLY RESISTANT TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE.

Only a very small percentage of people are susceptible to infectious agents. If you want an authoritarian opinion saying this, this has been delcared by some of the greatest medical minds of the century such as Rene Dubos in his 1950s book which i think was called "medical nemesis".

eg. POLIO:

Out of all those who are infected with the wild polio viruses only 10% show any clinical symptoms - of these 8% suffer no more serious than what is like a slight cold - only 1-2% of unvaccinated people suffer any form of paralysis and there are many known nutritional regimens for preventing/alleviating this. This info is derived from an article by Dr. Richard Moskowitz out of a book "dissent in medicine - 9 doctors speak out" published by contemporary book - available from NEXUS magazine www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/

There is so much more that can be stated about the myths of vaccination. IF,...IF you're interested to hear the other side of the story (most people aren't), that counters the commercial propaganda of the pharmaceutical industry then check out the campaign against fraudulent medical research http://www.pnc.com.au/~cafmr

for revealing information about the medical industry that you won’t get in the media - from vaccination, to fraudulent vivisection, to psychiatric abuses, codex & more.
