Many of these triggers are found in vaccines. Veterinary scientists have correlated the increase in autoimmune diseases and sarcomas in dogs and cats to increased vaccine use (7).
Long-term health studies showing the effects of multiple vaccines in infants or children have never been done on humans or animals (2). instead of the science that includes biological, clinical, and ecological evidence that is showing a possible link with chronic illness in children (5) (8), the industry and regulators place greater emphasis on short-term epidemiological studies (statistical) with selective parameters investigating one vaccine at a time. In addition, twentieth century public health officials did not claim vaccines controlled infectious diseases (9).
The underlying ethical principle of health practitioners is to first do no harm. Since it is biologically plausible that using multiple vaccines on infants, children, and adults could cause significant harm to a proportion of the population as a result of genetic predisposition and epigenetics, the onus is on policy makers to provide conclusive evidence to the contrary; before coercive vaccination policies are implemented.
In 2006, the NSW government, without public consultation, implemented mandatory immunization policies for Health Professionals (10). The government should be required to demonstrate a serious risk to the community without these vaccinations, before we lose the right to decide what is injected into our bodies. Precautionary Principle: The burden of proof of harmlessness of any new technology/chemical is on the proponent NOT the general public.
