Mayer Eisenstein, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., is bringing an urgent
message to a public that is increasingly confused on the
complex and rather lengthy vaccination schedule mandated by
the Federal Government. Author of the just released book,
Don’t Vaccinate Before You Educate, Dr. Eisenstein has
harbored serious doubts about vaccinations from the
beginning of his medical career when his pediatrics
professor, Robert Mendlesohn, began to sour on the idea of
mass immunizations.
Well known people such as
actress Jenny McCarthy, who claims her son became autistic
from a combination of mandated vaccines, are calling for
more studies into the effects of so many vaccinations
administered to children in their first few years. Is it
possible that thousands of autistic children have been
rendered this way because of an overbearing mandate from the
government? Below is an informative article by Dr.
Eisenstein.
”20th
Century medicine has been shown to be false in many of its
assumptions and it has held physicians with
non-interventionist philosophies to a higher standard than
interventionist physicians. The unscientific thinking of "I
think therefore I believe" has replaced scientific evidence
based decision making. How can we have trust in a medical
system, which has been shown to be untrue in some of its
practice? The answer is with great skepticism.
Let
us pray that scientific reason will prevail and the motto
for the 21st Century will become "The scientific evidence
points in that direction, therefore I believe." All vaccine
programs carry risk and benefit. Therefore, the goal should
not only be the prevention of a specific disease by
vaccination, the benefits must outweigh any potential long
term negative side effects. For example, as a public health
measure, if children do not get polio because of the polio
vaccine but later die of a cancer caused by the SV40 virus
received as a contaminant in the vaccine, the risk may
outweigh the benefits.

“Vaccine
proponents claim that the benefits of childhood vaccination
are undeniable. However, at the same time vaccine opponents
point out that the incidents of autism, diabetes, and other
chronic immune and neurological dysfunction in children have
increased dramatically in the last 30 years. This points out
the difficulty in making an informed decision to vaccinate
or not to vaccinate.
”In
1970, Robert Mendelsohn, M.D., my pediatrics professor and
godfather to my six children, believed in the value of
vaccinations. After 1970, he began to question the general
value of mass immunization. In 1971, he stopped
administering the Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccine (MMR), by
1973, he gave up on the Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus
Vaccine (DPT) and by 1976 he gave up on the Oral Polio
Vaccine (OPV). By 1989 Dr. Mendelsohn no longer recommended
any vaccines.
Here Is the Core of My Concern 1.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass
inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood
disease. . . . 2. It is commonly believed that the Salk
vaccine was responsible for halting the polio epidemics that
plagued American children in the 1940's and 1950's. If so,
why did the epidemics also end in Europe , where polio
vaccine was not so extensively used? . . . . 3. There
are significant risks associated with every immunization and
numerous contraindications that may make it dangerous for
the shots to be given to your child. . . . 4. While the
myriad short-term hazards of most immunizations are known
(but rarely explained), no one knows the long-term
consequences of injecting foreign proteins into the body of
your child. Even more shocking is the fact that no one is
making any structured effort to find out. 5. There is a
growing suspicion that immunization against relatively
harmless childhood diseases may be responsible for the
dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases since mass
inoculations were introduced. These are fearful diseases
such as cancer, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, lupus, and the
Guillain-Barré syndrome. . . .
”I want to raise
doubt in your mind as to the safety, efficacy, and moral
issues of vaccines. Only after fully weighing the evidence
can you make an informed decision. An informed consumer is a
wise consumer. This journey is a beginning of better
understanding the issues surrounding childhood
vaccinations.”
