The untold story of vaccination schedules, science and speculation

I’ll preface the following article by clearly stating that I’m not a vet. I didn’t attend veterinary college and it’s certainly not a profession I aspire to. I’ve got six years of university and two degrees under my belt, so I know the kind of debt that vets enter into when they graduate. I also know that the vast majority of them make very little money for the amount of education that goes into their career.

But I’m a dog lover and I do like to think that I’m a fairly intelligent and rational person. I don’t want to see dogs get hurt and vets certainly don’t want to see them get hurt. I truly believe that.

So what really baffles me is why vets continue to use vaccination protocols that are harming our dogs.

And now for a little history lesson

Back in the mid 1970’s, vaccines were licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), based on challenge studies that were done for only a few weeks to a few months. Because of that short period of testing, all vaccine labels had this statement on them: “Annual Revaccination Recommended.”

Because duration of immunity (DOI) studies are expensive, the vaccine manufacturers tested their vaccines for a short period of time and subsequently put them on the market with the suggestion of vaccinating annually. But nobody really knew how long those vaccines would last because nobody went to the trouble to test them for more than a few months. So vets got into the habit of vaccinating every year.

During this time, a young scientist had an epiphany….

In Vaccines We Trust#retweet#android#iPad

 Millionaire vaccine inventor and mandatory vaccine advocate Paul Offit recently released a short video for doctors on medscape. Here is a transcript of the speech. Please read it before moving along. It is only one page long. This statement that outlines Offit’s personal belief system could be a prelude to the legal removal of all philosophical and religious vaccine exemptions in the United States of America. This is something that Offit has been working toward for years, and the likely end-purpose of his series of books. Paul Offit believes that exempting your child from vaccination is morally reprehensible. He considers himself an authority on autism, all infectious diseases, morality, history, every religious system, and infant immunology. You may also recognize Dr Offit as the one who says that all vaccines are perfectly safe and infants can tolerate theoretically 10,000 of them at once:…

…Unfortunately, even doctors will simply believe the “expert” [2] without bothering to go and check their own medical literature…

…Paul Offit claims to be an unbiased scientist with no personal interest in vaccination. To me, this does not make sense. In 2008 while sitting on the ACIP as a voting member, Children’s Hospital Of Pennsylvania sold its royalty stake in Offit’s vaccine RotaTeq for $182 million, and Offit received an unspecified percentage: his share of the intellectual property, said to be “in the millions.” Why doesn’t he just call himself what he really is? A “multimillionaire vaccine patent owner who, by influencing immunization practices while sitting on the Advisory Committee For Immunization Practices, had a huge personal interest in policymaking, and wants to remove your personal rights as to what goes into your infant and your body by way of injection, and touts his own personal feelings on religion and wisdom to naïve doctors over the internet.”

According to a 2009 Philadelphia Magazine interview with Offit, a reporter asked him once if he was the Antichrist, and he replied, “I’m just one of the Devil’s many humble servants.”…

By Dr. Becker

Dr. Royal believes that eventually, vets who aren’t expanding the services they offer into the complementary/alternative realm will be in the minority. When she attends American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) (conventional medicine) meetings, other attendees approach her constantly because they know she practices integrative medicine.

They say things like, “This is something we can’t handle. Do you have another answer for us?” Or, “What do you do for that condition?” Or, “How do you treat XYX?” So it seems veterinarians in traditional practice are really starting to look for answers beyond what they were taught in vet school.

Now that the AHVMA is a member of the AVMA House of Delegates, AVMA members seem to feel freer asking questions about non-traditional treatments. Western medicine practitioners are seeing their own patients cured by integrative practitioners – patients they’ve been trying to cure for years in some cases.

Dr. Royal says she’s been really amazed at how positive the response has been from Western medicine practitioners who are fascinated by what we do…
