For the second year, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and Mercola.com are teaming up to co-sponsor Vaccine Awareness Week (Oct. 30-Nov. 5, 2011) to raise public awareness about the urgent need in the U.S. to make vaccine safety and informed consent protections a much higher priority. Vaccination effectiveness and safety in the US remains an issue shrouded in secrecy, misinformation and scare tactics. Thirteen percent of parents are now using an alternative vaccination schedule, and two percent refuse all vaccines for their children.
There are important, basic differences between naturally-acquired immunity and temporary vaccine-induced antibody production. As a parent, you need to educate yourself on each individual disease and corresponding vaccine in order to make an informed decision about the risks and benefits of the choices you make.
If you have been threatened, thrown out of a doctor's office, denied health insurance, employment or the right to get an education because you tried to exercise voluntary, informed consent to vaccination, share your experience with others on NVIC's Vaccine Freedom Wall.
