A More Sensible Vaccination Schedule

Dr. Donald Miller, a cardiac surgeon and professor of surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle and a member of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, has devised a more sensible vaccination schedule, which advises the following:

1. No vaccinations until your child is 2 years old.
2. No vaccines that contain thimerosal (mercury).
3. No live virus vaccines.
4. The following vaccines can be given one at a time (not as a combination vaccine), every six months, beginning at age 2:
* Pertussis (acellular, not whole cell)
* Diphtheria
* Tetanus
* Polio (the Salk vaccine, cultured in human cells)

Your pediatrician will not like this schedule, but if you have reviewed the evidence and still feel your child should be inoculated to a certain degree, this is a far safer alternative to the standard vaccination schedule.

If you decide you do not want to vaccinate, know that all 50 states have vaccination requirements but all states provide exemptions for medical reasons while 48 states allow exemptions for sincerely held religious beliefs. Another 18 states allow parents to opt out for personal, conscientious or philosophical beliefs as well.

My previous article, How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds, spells out how you go about practicing this right, as does an entire chapter in my book Take Control of Your Health.
