Vaccines have been connected to GBS. South America has been the target of bad vaccine programs, too. The Catholic church discovered vaccines being given in Africa and South America which sterilized the victims.
In addition, they are newly vaccinating pregnant women in Brazil.
The Swine flu shot back in the 80’s caused my dads GB and death. I was such a horrible thing to watch as it slowly paralyzed every muscle in his body starting with the feet and went up. None of my family will ever take that flu shot, or anything the gov’t says you need to take.
Not only in Brazil. I had a baby four years ago and doctors were not pushing a single vaccine on us. They OK’ed the Mercury containing flu shot, which I thought was insane, but nothing else.
Around the same time Brazil started forcing their pregnant women to take the dTAP vaccine, the CDC made doctors in America PUSH HARD to their pregnant patients to get it too. For EACH pregnancy. Not once, for each pregnancy. Even one year apart.
The package insert for the DTAP says it has never been tested as safe for pregnant women or their unborn babies. The CDC has moved the vaccine into a class B or less dangerous drug during pregnancy, WITH ZERO STUDIES to back up this claim.
The bad effects are not just microcephaly. Some babies, perfectly healthy and nearly 30 weeks along, have been dying. You must not take vaccines while pregnant. They are NOT PROVED SAFE. Your doctor will push and push and tell you drastic bad things will happen if you refuse. Please remember that for the rest of history including four years ago, no doctor insisted on this. It’s all new. And wholly unproven.
In addition, they are newly vaccinating pregnant women in Brazil.
A vaccine against a disease that can cause GBS can also cause GBS because the GBS is caused by an inappropriate immune response against the organism causing the disease. However, because the dose of microorganism is far higher during an infection than received from a vaccine, the chance of acquiring GBS from a disease is far higher than from a vaccine.
We still do not know exactly how GBS develops. When that process is better understood, vaccine researchers will be able to eliminate from vaccines the parts of microorganisms that are responsible for development of GBS. At that time, there will no longer be vaccine caused GBS.
Also, it is impossible for a vaccine to cause sterilization, unless the vaccine was designed for that purpose. That is because a vaccine is made of proteins, parts of microorganisms, or attenuated microorganisms, none of which look like components of ovaries or testes to the immune system. In order to have a vaccine that causes sterility, the vaccine would have to actually contain proteins that are found on reproductive organ cells, in order to teach the immune system to attack those cells.
Vaccinating pregnant women is an important health measure. Pregnant women vaccinated against influenza have more healthy babies than non-vaccinated women. Vaccinating pregnant women against whooping cough helps to protect the newborn since the antibodies her body makes in response to the vaccine pass into the unborn baby, giving it protection that lasts for a few months, until the baby is old enough to be vaccinated.
