The Effect of the Vaccine on the Onset of Asthma

Vaccines are usually used to prevent illness and disease, but there are several harmful chemicals in them that can show serious side effects and are even theorized to give children autism, which is why they should not be mandatory until further research has been done. No US federal vaccination laws exist, but all 50 states have laws requiring children attending public school to be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (generally in a DTaP vaccine); polio (an IPV vaccine); measles and rubella (generally in an MMR vaccine); and varicella (chickenpox). All 50 states allow medical exemptions, 47 states allow religious exemptions, and 17 states allow philosophical (or personal belief) exemptions. If children are required to get these vaccinations, so should the teachers who are around them all the time. Vaccines can cause serious and sometimes fatal side effects. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all vaccines carry a risk of a life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis) in about one per million children. This may seem like a small number that affects no one, but it could affect your children or even your children’s children. Right when we are born we are given our first vaccine, Hepatitis B1 (Hep B). This vaccine protects us from getting the hepatitis virus. The hepatitis virus is not spread through kissing, sneezing, or coughing.

It is spread through blood. This makes me question why it’s so important. Obviously you dont want your child to get ill, but is it always necessary?

The second set of vaccinations include hepatitis B (second dose), rotavirus2, Diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis3, Haemophilus influenzae type b4, pneumococcal conjugate5, and lastly, inactivated poliovirus6. These six vaccines are all given by two months of age. The next set of vaccines are your second doses of rotavirus 2, Diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, Haemophilus influenza type b4, pneumococcal conjugate, and inactivated poliovirus, are all given by the age of 4 months old, the list continues all with different ingredients that could make serious reactions arise. One of the main ingredients that people worry about is thimerosal, an organic mercury compound found in trace amounts in one flu vaccine for children and other vaccines for adults, is linked to autism. Aluminum is used in some vaccines and excess aluminum in human bodies can cause neurological harm. Formaldehyde, also found in some vaccines, is a carcinogen, and exposure can cause side effects such as cardiac impairment, central nervous system depression, 'changes in higher cognitive functions,' coma, convulsions, and death. Glutaraldehyde, a compound used to disinfect medical and dental equipment, is used in some DTaP vaccinations and exposure can cause asthma and other respiratory issues.

Some flu vaccines contain cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMB), a compound used as an antiseptic, which can be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant. Some polio, TD, and DTaP vaccines contain 2-phenoxyethanol, an antibacterial that is a skin and eye irritant that can cause headache, shock, convulsions, kidney damage, cardiac and kidney failure, and death. Some vaccines for the flu contain chicken egg protein, which can be harmful to children who are allergic to eggs. Some vaccines for PCV, HPV, DTaP, Hep A, Hep B, and Hib contain yeast proteins which, according to VaxTruth and Joseph Mercola, MD, an alternative medicine proponent, contain MSG that can cause migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), asthma, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, ADD, seizure, and stroke. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) was passed in 1986. This act declares that no person can sue any vaccine manufacturer. Instead, they have The Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, also known as Vaccine Court, where you can file a case in return for compinsation. In 2014, the court received 542 claims and compensated 365 people for a total of $202 million. Settlements ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many were for the flu shot and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
