Facts every parent should know:

54% of US kids have a chronic health condition. Peer-reviewed research and vaccine package inserts link many of these to vaccination, including autoimmune diseases, food allergies, eczema, juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Tourette’s syndrome (tics), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, speech delay, neurodevelopmental disorder, autism, sudden infant death syndrome, narcolepsy, seizure disorder, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

Vaccines can and do cause injury and death. And it isn’t rare — a U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) sponsored report found that vaccine injuries, when tracked using electronic medical records, are as common as 1 in 39 vaccines given. That same HHS-funded review of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) concluded that “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events” are reported.

If your child is vaccine-injured, you can’t sue the vaccine manufacturer. In 1988, Congress set up the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), administered by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), with Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys representing HHS against claims from families of injured children. Though most claims are dismissed without a hearing, the program has compensated petitioners over $5.2 billion for vaccine injuries through a fund paid by a $0.75 excise tax on every vaccine sold in the U.S. Vaccine manufacturers profit and have no liability — resulting in no incentive to produce safe vaccines.

The vaccine safety program is a failure. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded in 2013 that “key elements” of the CDC-recommended vaccine schedule, such as “the number, frequency, timing, order, and age at the time of administration,” have never been tested for safety. Vaccines on the schedule have also never been tested against an inert placebo in pre-licensure testing. This unsafe, one-size-fits-all vaccine policy is hurting children.

Risk vs. benefit? All infants receive a Hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine at birth and again at 1 and 6 months of age. Yet, unless the mother is infected, as determined by a blood test, the baby’s risk of Hep B is essentially zero, as the virus is most commonly spread through sexual contact and intravenous drug use.

Could vaccines result in more illness in children than the diseases they were created to prevent?
