Hi,

In the United States of America, we are fortunate enough to have the Tetanus vaccination; but in developing countries it is not accessible. Here at Disease.com, we admire organizations such as yourself, who have vowed to spread awareness and support extensive research. Disease.com (a website dedicated to disease preventions and treatments) would like to join your cause, by helping you spread awareness. If you could, please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button, it would be much appreciated. It is time we aid those, who can not help themselves.
If you need more information please email me back with the subject line as your URL.

Thanks
Ana

No ill effects from the vaccines… but you have asthma… and you think vaccines will not make your asthma worse? Have you researched them and read how they are linked to asthma?

“The results of the JMPT study demonstrated that those children who had been given DTP and tetanus vaccination had significantly greater odds of asthma and allergy-related symptoms than those who had remained unvaccinated.”

That’s just one example but considering the ingredients in the shots include mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and antifreeze I am not so sure how this is supposed to help your body…

Please be careful!

(I’m exposed to thousands of people every year, maybe more. Because I shop, eat out, go to school, to church, and the gym and pool…)

I used to take the flu shot, and boy do I feel like I was duped! Taking a vaccine with a live virus in it from last season’s flu seems a little bit pointless to me. So I put a live flu virus in my body, and exposed myself to the flu, and got the flu. Woo hoo.

I guess I’m another idiot. I have two kids who bring everything home from school. I do get a flu shot when I can. I have viral triggered asthma (also triggered by mold and cigarette smoke). Without a trigger, I can go months without using my rescue inhaler. The asthma AND the effects of the inhaler I use are much worse than any side effects I’ve ever had from the flu shot and the shot does seem to cut down on my incidence of sickness throughout the fall winter spring months.

That said, I do wish people in the non-target groups would hold off a bit on the shot. I called for a vaccine appt for me and my kids on Thursday and they are out of vaccine. So we will have to wait till they get more shipped in.

I wanted to let you know that I am one of those “Idiots”. I’ve gotten the flu shots in any year that there hasn’t been a vaccine shortage for more than 5 years, because I am exposed to hundreds of people during flu season. I have had no ill effects and also haven’t had the flu, but I have been dubious about its benefit because I know about viral mutation.
