Research shows that other childhood vaccines increase RISK of H1N1 in small children and babies

The H1N1 virus is out there, circulating around, and little children are the most vulnerable; but not because they are little, it is because they have already received other vaccinations that are interrupting their immune response. The New Zealand/Australian study found that the highest death in the young was from birth to age 12 months, the very time they were getting these immune-suppressing vaccines. (5)

As Dr. Mercola explains: One major factor being left out of all discussion of these vaccines, especially those for small children and babies, is the effect of other vaccinations on presently circulating viral infections such as the H1N1 variant virus. It is known that several of the vaccines are powerfully immune suppressing. For example, the measles, mumps and rubella virus are all immune suppressing, as seen with the MMR vaccine, a live virus vaccine. (1-2) 

This means that when a child receives the MMR vaccine, for about two to five weeks afterward their immune system is suppressed, making them highly susceptible to catching viruses and bacterial infections circulating through the population. Very few mothers are ever told this, even though it is well accepted in the medical literature.

In fact, it is known that the Hib vaccine for haemophilus influenzae is an immune suppressing vaccine and that vaccinated children are at a higher risk of developing haemophilus influenzae meningitis for at least one week after receiving the vaccine. (3,4) 

Not all families follow the CDC's vaccine schedule and find their children's immune system working at peak performance.  However, many others strictly follow the vaccination schedule recommended by the CDC where, in most states, a child will receive their MMR vaccine and Hib vaccine at one year of age and both are immune suppressing. At age 2 to 4 months, they will receive a Hib vaccine. Therefore at age 2 to 4 months, and again at age one year, they are at an extreme risk of serious infectious complications caused by vaccine-induced immune suppression. And it is on record that during this years flu season in NewZealand/Australia, the highest death in the young was from birth to age 12 months, the very time they were getting these immune-suppressing vaccines.

Furthermore, one of the largest studies ever done, found that children under the age of two years, received no protection at all from seasonal flu vaccine. (6)  What is the logic in vaccinating little ones with any flu vaccine when it has been proven it doesn't work?  (see reference (6) below for more information)

Why isn't this information more available to parents? One reason, many physicians are overworked and rely on information from pharmaceutical company reps and promotional advertisements; while ignoring over thirty years of neurosurgeon's warnings, scientific proof, and researched documentation provided by many medical professionals such as, Dr. Russell Blaylock.

Parents, dig in, do the math, read the research, get the facts, and then make a decision for your family.

You can also help others, especially concerning the CDC's agenda to vaccinate pregnant women. (relating article).
