We all know of someone who took the flu shot and got the flu or who took the mumps shot and got the mumps (even if the doctor called it mumps-like disease). The whole process of vaccination is a delicate balancing act between getting the disease and fighting off the disease. The risks-to- benefit ratio are low in vaccines for we are risking our immunity to one innocuous disease for the risk of getting another disease, usually a far worse disease. The trade is not a fair one. When vaccinations do cause the very disease they should have prevented, the name of the disease is changed to protect the vaccine ... after all how could anyone possibly get a disease for which they are already vaccinated for (or against, I get confused). That is assuming that vaccines equal (=) immunity, which they don't.

If a child comes down with a disease after being vaccinated, the doctor assumes that it cannot be that disease for which the vaccine was given. We see constant references to diseases called "measles-like", "mumps-like", "secondary-measles" or "atypical measles", and "atypical mumps". Or they might change the name altogether from infantile paralysis to aseptic meningitis ... the symptoms are the same. Then there is just the plain generic increases in diseases - in general - after vaccinations are given for no particular reason, just coincidence.

Hiner found that children vaccinated for HiB had a higher proportion of cases within two months of vaccination. Olin, Romanus and Storsaeter (1988) reported an increase in the clustering of invasive bacterial infections with fatal outcome among vaccinated children as compared to the unvaccinated children. It appeared that there was an immuno-suppressive effect due to the vaccines, which could not easily be explained by their clinical studies. Osterholm, MT, et al (1988) also stated that "Our results indicate that vaccination with Haemophilus b Polysacharide vaccine had no effect in preventing H influenzae type b disease in Minnesota children." Storsaeter et al (1988) reported that "four vaccinated children died" after receiving an a cellular pertussis vaccine in Sweden, when "one death was expected among vaccinated children". It is appalling that they expected one child to die from the vaccine, but they still declare that the vaccine was safe.

Pro-vaccination physicians will go to great lengths to call a vaccine-induced disease by another name. They will swear that the vaccine did not cause the problem, but that it was purely coincidental. They use terms that sound like the actual disease, but are different; like BCG-itis, Atypical Mumps, Measles-like disorder, Atypical measles.

All this does it confuse the issue, because the patient knows that the symptoms are exactly the same in each disease, whether caused by the vaccine or the virus (naturally). But to a logical thinking person, the virus is in the vaccine and in many cases the vaccines contain live virus, not killed or attenuated in any way, i.e., measles virus vaccines. So to cloud the issue with name changing does not benefit anyone or make the condition go away. The vaccine that caused the problem needs to be addressed for the victim/patient's sake. After all, they came to the physician to get better health ... right!
