Vaccinations are a very well documented and reproducible validation of modern medical knowledge.

I look forward to our future debates, but tonight, I will back down out of respect.

Can you show us the same amount of verified and well documented alternatives to immunization?

I'd like to see controlled studies.

Likewise.

Simply avoiding vaccinations seems to be a good option..

There IS significant historical evidence that demonstrates that those vaccinated against smallpox were much more likely to contract and die of the disease than those that weren't. It is also historically evident that those countries that had few smallpox cases prior to vaccination had large epidemics AFTER 95% or more of the population had been vaccinated.

The same phenomenon occured in relation to the diphtheria vaccine in Germany, where diphtheria cases were up from 40,000 to 250,000 five years after compulsory vaccination against the disease commenced.

Additionally, there ARE modern studies that show vaccinations against measles, whooping cough, and TB did NOT provide immunity against those diseases..

From HISTORICAL FACTS EXPOSING THE DANGERS AND INEFFECTIVENESS OF VACCINES

- In 1967, Ghana was declared measles free by the World Health Organisation after 96% of its population was vaccinated. In 1972, Ghana experienced one of its worst measles outbreaks with its highest ever mortality rate. (Dr H Albonico, MMR Vaccine Campaign in Switzerland, March 1990)

- In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre, UK)

- In the 1970's a tuberculosis vaccine trial in India involving 260,000 people revealed that more cases of TB occurred in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. (The Lancet 12/1/80 p73)

- 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.
