West Virginian Parents Speak

"As a Christian vegetarian, I was outraged to learn what the government expected me to inject into my children's healthy bodies! As a Doctor of Naturopathy candidate, I am appalled by the lack of research and blatant poison that goes into these cocktails. I have yet to uncover research to indicate that the mandatory vaccinations are helpful in fighting any type of disease, as we are led to believe. More truthfully, they are dangerous due to the toxic ingredients and the fact that the immunities wear off causing adults to contract these diseases later in life. Healthy, unvaccinated children who contract these diseases generally suffer mild effects and enjoy a natural life-long immunity. It is apparent that the vaccinations suppress children's immune systems in such a way that is criminal. I challenge the lawmakers of West Virginia to cut through the bunk, educating themselves on this issue, and pass a fair exemption so that those parents who are Christians, have moral objections to vaccinations, or simply wish to err on the side of caution in regards to harmful side effects can do so legally.
--Lori Lee, Gay, WV

"My husband and I are strongly pro-life. How, then, could we in good conscience inject our children with vaccines developed from the tissue of aborted babies? This would violate our religious beliefs, our moral values, and our consciences.  The government can never guarantee us safety and health, but the least it could do is guarantee us our freedom.""
--Jayme Metzger, Harpers Ferry, WV

"There is no evidence, obtained through the use of scientific methodology, that vaccines are either safe or effective." 
--David Tucker, Ph. D., scientist and researcher, Morgantown, WV

"I was disabled for 10 years after receiving the flu vaccine.  I had to be carried to the bathroom and lost my ability to read and count.  How could I take a chance of inflicting the same damage to my child?"
--Helen Tucker, M.A., homeschooling mom, Morgantown, WV

"My son received the DPT shot @ 3 months old in 1985.  He experienced seizures that happened every hour for 16 hours that evening after the shot.  At 3 years old, he received the MMR vaccine.  10 days after the shot, on his birthday, our happy, smiling, child didn't know how to open his presents or blow out the candles."
--Marla Crabtree, Wheeling, WV

"Any legislator who, under the guise of “in the interest of public health,” mandates that I must inject my dear children with substances that are known to cause harm, needs to know my children will only be vaccinated as orphans."
--Paul Sauls, Kenna, WV

Parents Speak from Other States:

"I developed Spinal Meningitis as a child after receiving the mumps/rubella vaccination.  My parents were told I would die during the night one evening and if I survived I would be a vegetable.  Through the prayers of family and the blessings of God I survived without any known side effects.  There have been three others in my family who were not so lucky.  I believe a susceptibility to harsh reactions to vaccinations runs in my family and I will not ever have myself or my children vaccinated for any disease."
--James E. Sayers, Warren, OH

"I  developed spinal meningitis after I was given vaccines so that I could enter school. My parents were told I was not expected to recover.  Gratefully I did.  However neither my parents nor I should have had to suffer for something we know does not have a proven successful track record."
--Dr. Thomas Heath, Pennsylvania

"[My son] had a reaction to the DPT shot.  He had a high fever and lay like the dead for 5 days on the couch, barely sipping water and some broth.  His leg where he received the injection swelled up to twice the size of the other leg.  The powers that be have since changed the DPT shot to the DTaP, but of course, they assured us at the time that the DPT shot was absolutely safe."
--Dana Gerow, Buffalo, NY

"I have mild autism from my one-year-old DPT shot.  I spent 10 years on welfare because I couldn't think well enough to be able to support my family.  I nearly lost my life to the physical ravages of vaccinations that I have received."
--Debbie Rabold, Saylorsburg, PA

"Before my daughter was 24 hours old, my attending nurse tried to pressure me into letting her have the hepatitis shot. I refused on the basis that she is to young to survive any sort of reaction that might occur. I eventually succumbed to society's pressure and let her have the rest of the shots. She was dx with autism later. When I was younger, autism was unheard of. What is happening to our kids?"
--Sally Thorne, Arizona

"My young son contracted Pertussis in spite of being fully and faithfully vaccinated against it.  This caused me to question the effectiveness of vaccines.  I soon discovered by research that there are serious safety concerns about vaccines as well. "
--Stephanie Marchbanks, Ennis TX

"My son started seizing from his vaccines eight times a day for three months. When I read the package insert to the vaccines I realized why. You can't inject that much poison into a child and think there is going to be no consequences. I would really like to know how injecting that many neurotoxins along with live or dead virus can somehow be helpful to a child's developing immune system. Vaccines are deadly."
--Wendy Callahan, Florida


"My son's growth was severely stunted following his one month vaccinations.  He was at that time over 9 lbs and 21 inches. He is now 10 1/2 months old and is only 11.5 lbs and 23 inches.  No one has the right to tell us what we can and cannot do with our children. Isn't that what freedom is about?"

--Shannon Prichard

"I allowed my child to receive not only all the "required" vaccines, but in addition pneumococal vaccines that were advised by Dr. Steihm at UCLA. My child, in addition to regressing further on the Autism scale, now has what is called Impaired Polysacchari Responsiveness. He won't hold titres to any further vaccines."
--Alicia Mattson, Bakersfield, CA

Parents Speak from Other Countries:

"This last week I have seen a family with four children:  three boys and one (the youngest child) girl. Each vaccinated boy has had  whooping cough, measles, and a whole series of AOM (acute middle ear infections).  The unvaccinated girl had none of these diseases.  We had one family of three boys who each had whooping cough three times -- yet were vaccinated three times for pertussis. We see or hear of these cases too often. If I am one practitioner, then multiply my experience by tens of thousands."
--Michael Sichel,  D.O. N.D., Australia

"My husband was vaccine injured nearly 7 years ago from the Hepatitis B. He was in perfect health, a 38 yr old male who said the morning of the injections, "The doctors know what they're doing." He came down with sudden onset of chronic fatigue syndrome & is only now regaining SOME of his life back.  The funny thing is, it cost the state more to pay him sickness benefits/disability pension then it ever did in the cost of vaccinating him."
--D.E., Newcastle, Australia

"Prior to MMR vaccination, the boys ate fresh fruit and vegetables.  After MMR, they would gag and vomit if they got near fruit...One ended up sitting in a corner with a blanket, toe walking and hand flapping...They were both diagnosed at two years and nine months old with Mild-Moderate Autism.  The twins come from families with autoimmune disorders and allergies and should never have been vaccinated."
--Marion Redstone, Sydney Australia
