The Vaccine Debate: What Is The Evidence?

October 17th, 2011

We all hear about it in the news seemingly every day. Swine flu propaganda and fear generation is everywhere. Have you ever stopped to think about why that is? The answer is: Fear Sells.

They call it the “vaccine industry” for a reason. It is industrious. By creating fear and putting some publicly well known doctor’s name behind it, the vaccine industry makes billions of dollars per year by scaring you into getting the shot. The same fear makes them billions more by scaring parents into taking their children in to receive over 35 shots, containing 113 different kinds of disease particles, 59 different chemicals, 4 types of animal cells/DNA, and human DNA from aborted fetal tissue before the age of 10. Do you want this injected into yourself or your baby?

* Asthma
* Arthritis
* Autism
* Acid Reflux
* Cancer
* Diabetes
* Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
* A long list of neurological and autoimmune diseases.
