I know people will be immediately furious with the title — do vaccines cause cancer? Absolutely irresponsible! What’s wrong with you? This is why your movement will never get anywhere! You think everything bad is caused by vaccines!

Be mad, if you must, but keep reading. Progress never happens by silencing contrarian voices. This post is for parents. Because the hardest time to learn about cancer is when someone you love has been diagnosed. It’s difficult to come from a place of empowered strength when panic and fear set in. The second hardest time to learn about cancer is when no one is sick. Why spend precious free time on something so terrifying? I’ll tell you why. Cancer is part of our new normal. One in two men and one in three women receive a cancer diagnosis. But it’s not just adults. If you can’t bring yourself to focus on this topic for yourself, please do it for your children.

I’m writing this article because the best way to learn is together, through community. I know how tough it is to go against the herd when talking about vaccines. The same is true about cancer. And you might be intrigued to learn that there’s a connection between the two.

THE REAL CANCER EXPERTS

There’s a big opportunity to hear — for free — from the world’s leading cancer experts. The real experts who are independent, courageous, and cutting edge. I know many of these people. They are my friends and colleagues, they are my family’s doctors, or I know them through their work.

I’m helping to promote this docu-series because it’s all part of the same issue.

We aren’t able to make informed decisions without real information. And, the more people that understand, the closer we get to real societal change… and healing.

LET'S START WITH SOME BASIC FACTS

Vaccines are a universal exposure. Not all children eat the same food, breathe the same air, or live in the same geographic area. But they’re largely all getting the same vaccines: [Click through for stats]

This doesn’t prove anything. It doesn’t disprove anything either. More to the point, it does not validate what we are doing.

What we are doing is unprecedented in the history of mankind. We did not evolve, over thousands of years, with this kind of exposure. I’m not just talking about the human body’s ability to handle what’s in the vaccines. I’m also talking about this degree of artificial manipulation of the immune system. Human babies did not repeatedly encounter the simultaneous and cumulative injections of many dozens of different kinds of bacterial and viral material — whether attenuated live or inactivated toxoid or genetically engineered recombinant — during their peak neurodevelopmental window, starting on the day of birth through three years of age.

Parents who know this are understandably puzzled when they are accused of being crazy because they assert their right not to vaccinate their children.

CANCER IN CHILDREN IS A BIG PROBLEM

You will hear that there have been major advances in the cure rate of cancer but that obscures a single compelling fact. The incidence of childhood cancer is up. A lot. The following information is courtesy of CureSearch.org: [Click through for stats]

What we are talking about is an epic amount of suffering.

WHAT DOES VACCINE SAFETY RESEARCH SAY?

What research?

There is so little vaccine safety research, it boggles the mind. Equally distressing is the fact that we rely upon vaccine makers to do the research for product approval and licensure... [Keep reading]

Not tested for cancer

Vaccine makers don’t test vaccines for their potential to cause cancer.

Yup. It’s not on them. They are crystal clear about it. Every single vaccine package insert says it. I know because I looked. As an example, here’s what Merck says about its MMR vaccine: [Keep reading]

BUT CAN VACCINES CAUSE CANCER?

Vaccines are biologics. They are a pharmaceutical product derived from animal, human, or insect cells. There are many different types of vaccines (i.e., live attenuated, killed, inactivated toxoid, subunit/conjugate), and they are produced from different types of cells (i.e., primary, diploid, continuous cell lines).

Biological vaccines are not safe in any form. Anyone who takes issue with that is going to apply a relativist argument. There are things that can be done to make them safer but parents must know that this is a different discussion. Vaccine makers do not prioritize safety above all else — they try to balance a number of competing variables. In order to improve a vaccine’s effectiveness, price, or time to market, it almost always comes down to a tradeoff with safety. For example:

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANCER

Vaccines are just the tip of the cancer iceberg. We have a lot of questions about cancer. They are inconvenient questions that disturb a $125+ billion industry. If you want to know more, then you'll want to check out this new docu-series. Here's the trailer:
