Do vaccines actually protect against the viruses and illnesses that
they claim to? If you only get your news and information from mainstream
news and educational sources, then the question about whether vaccines
are effective is never even raised. However, if you look at the
historical data on vaccination efficacy, you'll see that they are not
responsible for the decline in disease in the last hundred years at all:
- In 1977, Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine,
testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against
polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961.
(Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts")
- In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of
fully
vaccinated children. The region with the highest infection rate had the
highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest infection rate had
the lowest vaccine coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91)
- In 1990, the
Journal of the American Medical Association had an
article on measles which stated, "Although more than 95% of school-aged
children in the US are vaccinated against measles, large measles
outbreaks continue to occur in schools and most cases in this setting
occur among previously vaccinated children." (JAMA, 21/11/90)
- In the
New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue, a study found that over 80% of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.
- In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of
5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)
