Despite “expert” opinion that vaccines rarely harm, very little is known about infant’s and children’s immune systems, how they work, how they mature, or how vaccines can possibly confer immunity to specific diseases in developing bodies. Medical journals reveal the potential of vaccines to alter the immune system in a way that increases the likelihood of allergic disease. Allergies, Asthma, Eczema, the cluster of allergic diseases are also referred to as “atopic” diseases.
In 2001, the Institute of Medicine in the US, an organization which has been notable for its ties to government-espoused dogma, considered the possibility that vaccines cause allergies. They examined only five studies. These they said, “led the committee to conclude that there is inadequate evidence to either accept or reject a causal relationship between multiple immunizations and increased risk of allergic diseases, particularly asthma.”
What is known about the immune system is that it has at least two branches: the first-response Th1 branch and the follow-up Th2, the branch most vaccines are designed to influence. Science studies show that vaccines, together with their powerful adjuvants (substances like aluminum which prolong the body’s response), can stimulate Th2 response to such an extent that it becomes dominant, increasing the risk of allergic diseases while suppressing the Th1 first response arm of the immune system. A weakened Th1 implies a weakened ability to fight infections.
