Looking for some information

[VolDad]

I'm the researcher in the house and before I started compiling a table of information, wanted to know if anyone knows of one in existence.

I'm looking for a table that basically outlines the following:

Column 1
Vaccine

Column 2
Disease meant to prevent

Column 3
Vaccine Efficacy

Column 4
Vaccine overview (complications, etc)

Column 5
Disease overview (symptoms, length of disease, how to treat, complications, mortality rate)

Basically, a pro's vs. con's list of vaccine vs. disease

I can help you with #5 - Basically have vitamin C ready and lots of TLC and patience.

We have 4 unvaccinated grandchildren (3 intact boys, 1 girl). The oldest is 12 and we have not yet seen anything we could not handle ourselves. The oldest one has not seen a doctor in 11 years. And the other 3 have been maybe three times total for wbv (and never when they were sick).

Look in the archives, you'll find a lot of info.

Childhood diseases are made out to be killers when in reality they serve a purpose (to create a strong immune system).

Your list of pros and cons is missing a few things. It is quite short sighted and doesn't take into account the long term risks associated with vaccines and vaccination in general, or the long term risks and benefits of getting and not getting certain diseases (especially in childhood).

Also look into where the mortality rate comes from, if the children were breastfed, if they ate healthy whole foods, if fever reducers were used, etc.

I started such a sheet for myself once, but realized that I wanted more information about every VPD that could fit in a handy cheat sheet. Although I've done tons and tons of research and am completely comfortable with our solution, once in a while I encounter an aggressive vaccine proponent and don't have a specific argument at hand. So you might find that - like most of us - you will end up compiling a folder with information about every disease and vaccine . I found this archived threat of MDC very helpful as well as this new one.
