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 of multiple vaccination 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 (double blind studies). 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. My goal is
for you to do further research into
all of the vaccines, use libraries,
bookstores, ou
and ask questions. 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.”
