You can find many arguments against vaccinating your children.
In the end, they all boil down to one thing…
![Page 3: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
‘A vaccine might keep you safe from polio, but what else is it doing to your body?’

Let’s look at the scientifically proven side effects.
![Page 5: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The most common effects:
Redness and swelling
around the injection site
Fever
Nausea Headaches
Tiredness

Less than 10% of people who are vaccinated will experience these effects.
![Page 7: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The least common effects: Vomiting and Diarrhea
Muscle and joint pain
And… possible allergic reactions
![Page 8: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Some vaccines are made using egg protein or antibiotics. If you have an allergy to these, you could have a reaction to a vaccine.
![Page 9: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
You can prevent these kinds of reactions by being clear with your doctor about any
allergies you have.
![Page 10: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Children should remain at the clinic for 15 minutes after a new vaccine (as children are still
discovering any allergies they might have).
![Page 11: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 people will experience these reactions.
![Page 12: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
There are no other consistently, scientifically proven side effects of vaccines.
![Page 13: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Links between vaccines and mental health and learning disorders have been claimed –
with no causal evidence.
![Page 14: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Accusations of ‘toxic’ or ‘dangerous’ chemicals in vaccines have been made – all
without scientific foundation.
What’s the agenda?
Where’s the money?
![Page 15: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What about the link between vaccines and autism?
![Page 16: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Let’s investigate.
![Page 17: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In 1998, a paper was published in the medical journal, Lancet, in the UK.
‘Ileal lymphoid nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children.’
![Page 18: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Vaccines!
=
It implied a link between vaccines and autism.
![Page 19: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
At this time, the internet and social media were growing fast in power and influence.
![Page 20: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Thanks to technology and the media, the ideas in the paper spread far and wide.
![Page 21: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
People became afraid that vaccines would give their children autism.
![Page 22: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The scientific community tried to respond by pointing out all the paper’s flaws.
Small Case Studies
It Relied on Parental Recall and Beliefs
It Linked Three Common Conditions
No Controls Whatsoever!
It Provided NO Hard Evidence
![Page 23: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But scientists were unable to reach parents the way that sensationalist media could.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Blah blah blah…
![Page 24: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So scientists set to work to try to replicate the paper’s findings.
No evidence found.
No evidence found.
No evidence found.
No evidence found.
No evidence found.
No evidence found.
![Page 25: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Autism cases have increased since vaccines became standard. Some claim this as ‘proof’
that vaccines cause autism.
Vaccines Given
Autism Cases
Connection?
![Page 26: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
No causal link could be found. Autism is simply better understood today. More children are being diagnosed, who would once have been missed.
![Page 27: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Despite the overwhelming consistency of the scientists’ results, it took 10 years for the General
Medical Council to act on the paper which started it all.
![Page 28: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The General Medical Council conducted a Fitness to Practise hearing involving the
authors of the autism paper.
![Page 29: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
It caused the paper to be retracted as fraudulent and scientifically and ethically
flawed.
![Page 30: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ten out of the twelve authors retracted their claims.
![Page 31: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But Andrew Wakefield, one of the authors, still pushes his views in public today.
![Page 32: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
He has never attempted to replicate or explain clearly his beliefs.
![Page 33: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In the last two decades, unfounded fear of vaccines has spread across the developed
world.
![Page 34: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Measles, which was nearly eradicated in the UK, is now endemic again in England
and Wales.
![Page 35: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Thousands of children are being put at risk by parents who think they are doing the right thing due to
incorrect or insufficient information.
![Page 36: Vaccines: The Effects and Risks](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030215/588a04891a28ab0f388b71e9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It is essential for parents to get the correct information, to protect their children and everyone else from preventable disease.
