Vaccine Side Effects

There has been much recent concern regarding vaccines

given to children, and their possible side effects. Particularly

highlighted is the link between early childhood vaccines and

autism. This article provides a list of known ingredients inside

vaccines, and their documented side effects. It will aid you in

making informed decisions, which is something the industry is

against. The corporations involved have attempted to suppress

this information for decades. Readers are advised that there

are extra chemicals and toxins which are not mentioned,

because we based this list upon the ingredients which are

public knowledge. If you know of anything we have missed,

please contact us. It seems that the more we research this

topic: the more sinister it becomes.

The connection to autism has already been repeatedly

and scientifically established, and there are many other

conditions caused by vaccines which are yet to be proven.

Vaccines are said to prevent certain diseases. However, the

chances of catching these diseases are incredibly remote, and

the horrid side effects from vaccines are so common that

vaccines cause much more harm than good. The chance that

a particular vaccine will actually offer effective protection varies

between 35% and 90%, and almost all of them expire. In some

cases, vaccines will infect the patient with the very disease it is

meant to offer protection from. Do you think they would do the

right thing, and treat you for free?

Vaccine Ingredient: Aborted Human

Fetus Tissue and Human Albumin

Did you ever wonder where aborted babies really went?

Now you know. From a health perspective, the tissues from

another human (not just animals) are still foreign, and therefore

toxic to the body. One industryfriendly

web site matteroffactly

boasted, “The cells reproduce themselves, so there is no

need to abort additional fetuses to sustain the culture supply.

Viruses are collected from the diploid cell cultures and then

processed further to produce the vaccine itself”. The Liberty

Counsel reported, “You may be surprised to learn that some

vaccinations are derived from aborted fetal tissue. Vaccines for

chicken pox, HepatitisA,

and Rubella were produced solely

from aborted fetal tissue”.

Vaccine Ingredient: Formaldehyde

This is used in vaccines as a tissue fixative, and a

preservative. Formaldehyde is oxidized to become formic acid.

Formic acid is the main ingredient of bee and ant venom.

Concentrated, it is corrosive and an irritant. While absorbing

the oxygen of the body, it may lead to acidosis, nerve, liver, and

kidney damage.

According to the National Research Council, fewer than

20% but perhaps more than 10% of the general population may

be susceptible to extreme formaldehyde toxicity, and may react

to exposure at any level. Formaldehyde is ranked as one of

the most hazardous compounds on ecosystems and human

health, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. These

findings are for environmental exposure, and therefore, the

dangers are much greater for the formaldehyde included in

vaccines, since it is injected directly into the blood.

The known side effects of formaldehyde are:

• Eye, nasal, throat and pulmonary irritation

• Acute sense of smell due to altered tissue proteins

• Anaemia

• Apathy

• Blindness

• Blood in urine

• Blurred vision

• Pain

• Bronchial spasms

Side Effects Of Vaccine Ingredient Formaldehyde (continued)

Vaccine Ingredient: Mercury

Mercury compounds are used in vaccines as preservatives

.

The toxicity of mercury has been repeatedly ignored in

the area of vaccines by the medical establishment and

oversight agencies. Mercury is the second most poisonous

element known to mankind (second only to uranium and its

derivatives). Brain neurons rapidly and permanently

disintegrate in the presence of mercury within 30 minutes of

exposure. Mercury is also known to change a body’s

chromosomes, so I especially worry about those who have had

mercurybased

dental fillings (which are the standard ‘silver’

type), for these people are constantly being filled with this

cumulative poison from the mercury’s vapors as well as direct

contact inside the mouth.

The U.S. has known about the potential problems of

Thimerosal (the preservative in vaccines that contains mercury)

for many years. The World Health Organization voiced

concerns about it in 1990.

Mercury is a cumulative poison, which means a body has

difficultly removing it, and that levels of it in the body will grow

significantly over time. Enormous amounts of mercury can

accumulate over a lifetime. During a typical day of routine

vaccines, infants sometimes receive the same amount of

mercury as the absolute maximum set by the World Health

Organization for 3 months of adult exposure.

The following was taken from a website affiliated with the

National Institutes for Health detailing the effects of mercury

exposure: “Symptoms of high exposure to this class of mercury

based compounds include: aphthous, stomatitis, satarrhal

gingivitis, nausea, liquid stools, pain, liver disorders, injuries to

the cardiovascular system and hematopoietic system, deafness

and ataxia, death, headache, paresthesia of the tongue, lips,

fingers and toes, other nonspecific

dysfunctions, metallic taste,

slight gastrointestinal disturbances, excessive flatus and

diarrhea may occur. Acute poisoning may cause

gastrointestinal irritation and renal failure. Early signs of

severe poisoning include fine tremors of extended hands, loss

of side vision, slight loss of coordination in the eyes, speech,

writing and gait, inability to stand or carry out voluntary

movements, occasional muscle atrophy and flexure

contractures, generalized myoclonic movements, difficulty

understanding ordinary speech, irritability and bad temper

progressing to mania, stupor, coma, mental retardation in

children, skin irritation, blisters and dermatitis. Other symptoms

include chorea, athetosis, tremors, convulsions, pain and

numbness in the extremities, nephritis, salivation, loosening of

the teeth, blue line on the gums, anxiety, mental depression,

insomnia, hallucinations and central nervous system effects.

Exposure may also cause irritation of the eyes, mucous

membranes and upper respiratory tract.”

Complete intolerance to Thimerosal, the mercury

containing preservative, is known to develop from previous

vaccines. The vaccines stimulate the immune system and

cause sensitization. The effects of mercury differ between

inorganic, organic, and metallic mercury compounds. The

neurologic toxicity symptoms caused by mercury compounds

have a delayed onset after exposure, so few, if any of these

symptoms will be noticed at the time of exposure. This

explains the suspected longterm

neurological symptoms of

learning disabilities and behavior disorders associated with

vaccines, which did not exist in previous generations.

Vaccine Ingredient: Antifreeze

Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is an ingredient of the polio

vaccine. It is classified as a "very toxic material". It would take

less than a tablespoonful to kill a 20pound

dog with this

substance. Pet owners are generally very wary around this

Naturally Good Magazine Issue

2 39

dangerous substance, knowing that only a small amount is

fatal. I can only imagine the effects that this has on the human

body when directly injected into the blood stream.

Antifreeze can eventually lead to kidney, liver, blood and

central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It is quite harmful and

likely fatal if swallowed. Effects include behavioral disorders,

drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhoea, visual disturbances, thirst,

convulsions, cyanosis, rapid heart rate, CNS stimulation,

depression, cardiopulmonary effects, kidney disorders. It can

also lead to liver and blood disorders. It produces reproductive

and developmental effects in experimental animals.

Vaccine Ingredient: Aluminium

Aluminum is a suspected carcinogen. It is a

cardiovascular or blood toxicant, neurotoxicant, and respiratory

toxicant. It has been implicated as a cause of brain damage,

and is a suspected factor in Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia,

convulsions, and comas. It has been placed on at least 2

federal regulatory lists.

Vaccine Ingredient: 2Phenoxyethanol

This is a suspected carcinogen. A developmental and

reproductive toxicant. It is also a metabolic poison, which

means that it interferes with the metabolism of all cells. This is

the primary factor in the formation of cancer cells. It is capable

of disabling the immune system’s primary response. It also

contains phenol (see below for explanation).

Vaccine Ingredient: Phenol

This is a suspected carcinogen, and a cardiovascular and

blood toxicant. Also known as carbolic acid; this is a

developmental toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, kidney

toxicant, neurotoxicant, respiratory toxicant, skin and sense

organ toxicant. It has been placed on at least 8 federal

regulatory lists.

Vaccine Ingredient: Methanol

This is a volatile, flammable, poisonous liquid alcohol. In

industry, it is used as a solvent, and an antifreeze compound in

fuel. In the body it is metabolized into formaldehyde (as

described earlier).

Whilst it can be found naturally in the pectin that is

present in some common fruits, the naturally occurring version

is only in minute quantities, and the natural form is not known

to cause harmful effects.

Vaccine Ingredient: Borax

(sodium tetraborate decahydrate)

Traditionally used as a pesticide and ant killer. It is

suspected to be a cardiovascular or blood toxicant, endocrine

toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, and neurological

toxicant. It was found to cause reproductive damage and

reduced fertility rates in studies on rats. It is already banned in

foods in the United States, but astonishingly, it is still allowed

for direct injection into the blood through vaccines. It is toxic to

all cells, and has a slow excretion rate through the kidneys.

Kidney retention and toxicity are the greatest. It has a

cascading effect, causing liver degeneration, cerebral edema,

and gastroenteritis.

Vaccine Ingredient: Glutaraldehyde

Glutaraldehyde is always toxic, causing severe eye, nose,

throat and lung irritations, along with headaches, drowsiness,

and dizziness. The effects mirror the chemical warfare agent

known as nerve gas. It is poisonous if ingested, and known to

cause birth defects in experimental animals. The effects of

direct injection into the blood to bypass the process of ingestion

are unknown. It is often used to clean medical equipment. In

hospital accidents involving environmental exposure, it has

40 Naturally GoodMagazine Issue2

been known to cause the following symptoms:

• Throat and lung irritation

• Asthma, asthmalike

symptoms, and breathing difficulty

• Nose irritation, sneezing, and wheezing

• Nosebleed

• Burning eyes and conjunctivitis

• Rashcontact

and/or allergic dermatitis

• Staining of the hands (brownish or tan)

• Hives

• Headaches

• Nausea

Vaccine Ingredient: MSG

(Monosodium Glutamate)

Monosodium Glutamate is a synthetic flavor enhancer. In

a 1995 report by the Federation of American Societies for

Experimental Biology, two groups of people were defined as

intolerant of MSG. This includes those who eat large quantities

of MSG (it is used in lots of processed foods as a flavor

enhancer), and those with “poorly controlled asthma”. Our

research indicates that anyone can suffer after consuming

Monosodium Glutamate. In the 1995 report, which was

contracted by the FDA, there was public admission that MSG

yields the following symptoms:

• Burning sensations in the back

of the neck, forearms and

chest

• Numbness in the back of the

neck, radiating to the arms

and back

• Tingling, warmth, and

weakness in the face,

temples, upper back,

neck and arms

• Facial pressure or tightness

• Chest pain

• Headache

• Nausea

• Rapid heartbeat

• Bronchospasm (difficulty

breathing) in MSGintolerant

people with asthma

• Drowsiness

• Weakness

Note that this is the shortlist

(the one with side effects the

FDA actually admits), and it does not consider the higher

toxicity of direct injection into the blood. The long list, which is

about 15 times longer, includes heart attacks, especially in

young people with magnesium deficiencies. Injections of

glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in rapid damage

to nerve cells in the brain. MSG is in a special class of

chemicals called excitotoxins, which are known to directly

attack brain cells. In 1978, MSG was banned from baby foods

and other baby products for infants who were less than one

year of age, because the American Academy of Pediatrics and

the National Academy of Sciences expressed concerns. It is

now being used in these products again, along with vaccines.

Vaccine Ingredients: Sulfate and

Phosphate Compounds

These can trigger severe allergies in children which may

last throughout their lives to permanently impair their immune

systems.

Vaccine Ingredient: Ammonium

Sulfate

This is another carcinogen. Ammonium sulfate is prepared by

mixing ammonia with sulfuric acid. It is used as a chemical

fertilizer for alkaline soils to lower the pH of the soil. In the

body, it stresses the immune system by causing acidosis.

Naturally Good Magazine Issue

2 41

Ammonium sulfate is also a gastrointestinal (liver) toxicant,

neurotoxicant, and respiratory toxicant.

Vaccine Ingredient: Gentamicin

Sulfate

This is a strong antibiotic, which is often used for lifethreatening

illnesses (eg. pneumonia).

Known side effects:

• Muscle twitching

• Numbness

• Seizures

• Increased Blood Pressure

• Alopecia

• Purpura

• Pseudotumor cerebri

• Photosensitivity

• Transient irritation

• Burning

• Stinging

• Itching

• Inflammation

• Angioneurotic edema

• Urticaria

• Vesicular and maculopapular dermatitis

• Mydriasis

• Conjunctival paresthesia

• Conjunctival hyperemia

• Nonspecific conjunctivitis,

• Conjunctival epithelial defects

• Lid itching and swelling

• Bacterial/fungal corneal ulcers

Vaccine Ingredient: Neomycin Sulfate

When researching this, we discovered the neurotoxicity of

neomycin sulfate following oral use as an antibiotic. I can only

wonder about what damage this causes when injected directly

into the blood of infants. It interferes with vitamin B6

absorption, which is the cause of a rare form of epilepsy, and

mental retardation. Adult patients given neomycin as an

antibiotic are typically placed under close clinical observation

(ie. hospitalized), so that intensive care intervention is

immediately available. Neurotoxicity has been reported, along

with nephrotoxicity, and permanent bilateral auditory ototoxicity.

Sometimes vestibular toxicity is present in patients with normal

renal function when treated with higher or longer doses than

recommended.

Vaccine Ingredient:

Tri(n)butylphosphate

This is yet another carcinogen. This is a kidney toxicant,

and a neurotoxicant. It is more hazardous than most chemicals

in 2 out of 3 ranking systems, on at least 1 federal regulatory

list.

Vaccine Ingredient: Polymyxin B

This is another antibiotic. Injection of this is generally

avoided by doctors (except in the case of vaccines), due to

severe pain at injection sites, particularly in infants and children.

Other Known Side Effects:

• Albuminuria

• Cylindruria

• Azotemia

42 Naturally GoodMagazine Issue2

• Rising blood levels without any increase in dosage.

• Facial flushing

• Dizziness progressing to ataxia

• Drowsiness

• Peripheral paresthesias: circumoral and stockingglove

• Apnea

• Signs of meningeal irritation with intrathecal administration

Vaccine Ingredient: Polysorbate 20 /

80

Emulsifier

This is a suspected carcinogen. It is a known skin and

sense organ toxicant. It is verified as a cancer agent in

animals.

Vaccine Ingredient: Sorbitol

Sweetener

Diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy may be related to

excess sorbitol in the cells of the eyes and nerves; leading to

blindness. This is another suspected carcinogen. Sorbitol is a

gastrointestinal and liver toxicant.

Vaccine Ingredient: Polyribosylribitol

This is an experimental artificial sweetener. Actually the

experimentation is ongoing

― in children that is, without the

knowledge or consent of their parents.

Vaccine Ingredient: BetaPropiolactone

Documented as a verified carcinogen. It is a

gastrointestinal (liver) toxicant, respiratory toxicant, skin

toxicant, and sense organ toxicant. More hazardous than most

chemicals; earning a 3 out of 3 in ranking systems. It appears

on at least 5 federal regulatory lists. It is ranked as one of the

most hazardous compounds to humans.

Vaccine Ingredient: Amphotericin B

This can cause irreversible kidney damage, and mild liver

failure. It has been known to produce severe histamine

(allergic) reactions. There are several reports of anemia and

cardiac failure. According to the MME definition it is, “a drug

used to treat fungus infections. Known allergy to this drug

prohibits use. Side effects include blood clots, blood defects,

kidney problems, nausea and fever. When used on the skin,

allergic reactions can occur”.

Vaccine Ingredients: Animal Organ

Tissue and Animal Blood

Animal cell lines are used to culture the viruses in

vaccines, so animal tissues and impurities are included in the

formulation that is injected. These tissues are unusable and

toxic to the body except for when their protein materials are

digested to form amino acids through normal food

consumption. There is no digestion process for injections.

Injections may also contain many types of animal viruses (see

the Animal Viruses section).

Animals used include monkey (kidney), cow (heart), calf

(serum), chicken (embryo and egg), duck (egg), pig (blood),

sheep (blood), dog (kidney), horse (blood), rabbit (brain),

guinea pig, etc..

Naturally Good Magazine Issue

Vaccine Ingredient: Large Foreign

Proteins

In addition to the animal tissue impurities, there are large

proteins that are deliberately included, and used for such

purposes as adjuvants (substances that aggravate an immune

response using their inherent toxicity). Egg album and gelatin

(or gelatine, obtained from selected pieces of calf and cattle

skins, demineralized

cattle bones and pork skin) are in several

vaccines. Casein (milk protein) is in the triple antigen (DPT

vaccine). When injected, these normally harmless proteins are

toxic to the body. Hence the immune system “response”. The

immune system is intentionally stressed by this invasion to

produce an unnatural sensitization to all the ingredients. The

body will become further sensitive to these substances in the

future, rather than becoming immune to them. So, the basic

premise of vaccinations which the public has been sold is false.

This explains why bizarre allergies such as lactose intolerance,

egg, and nut allergies have suddenly become common in

recent history.

Vaccine Ingredient: Latex

This is included in the hepatitis B vaccine which is given

routinely to health workers. The high occurrence of the latex

allergies among nurses is due to their sensitization to latex

through the large amounts of chemical rubber which is injected

into them. These vaccines produce a panicked immune

response. These nurses will suffer with this allergy

permanently. Such allergic reactions can be lifethreatening.

This vaccine is now routinely given to newborn babies in many

countries, including Australia, and the United States.

Vaccine Ingredient: Animal Viruses

Some of these can be particularly alien to the human

body. The most frequently documented and publicised

example is the monkey virus SV40. The virus is harmless in

monkeys, but it stimulates rare cancers when injected into

humans producing brain (tumors), bone (e.g. multiple

myeloma), lungs (mesothelioma), and lymphoid tissue

(lymphoma). Monkey Virus SV40 has only appeared in people

born in the last 20 years (The Journal of Infectious Diseases,

Sept. 1999), long after the manufacturer claimed to have

“cleaned up” the polio vaccines where it was found. Such

cases include the late Alexander Horwin, both of whose

parents tested negative for SV40. Therefore, recent cases

cannot just be blamed on inheritance from parents who

received the vaccine (see www.ouralexander.org). This proves

that manufacturers are secretly including it again.

Vaccine Ingredient: Human Viruses

The viruses against which the vaccine is supposed to

protect are frequently said to be “killed”, “inactivated”, or

“attenuated”. This is a myth. The main method used to

inactivate viruses is treatment with formaldehyde, whose

effectiveness is limited, and even then only temporary. Once

the brew is injected into the body, the formaldehyde is broken

down by the body potentially releasing the virus in its original

state. This is intentional. It is documented in orthodox medical

literature that these living “crippled” viruses can revert to their

former virulence.

Please remember that the included viruses, and bacteria,

which the vaccine is supposed to protect against are claimed to

be in “very small doses”. These small doses are not small to

the body, and these quantities are quite high enough for the

diseases to occur. When they do occur, the cases are always

severe, and sometimes fatal. Several deaths were reported in

the British medical journal, Lancet, from vaccineinduced

yellow fever. A susceptible person may succumb to infection

when exposed to only a minute doses, especially when it is

injected directly into the bloodstream. Likewise, there are other

cases in which a healthy person will not succumb, even when

exposed to large doses environmentally. It is not the

pathogens, but the interaction methods between pathogens

and hosts which causes diseases to appear, and the level of

their severity.

Vaccines may not manifest obvious injury, especially not

immediately, but are still likely to cause long term harm to

44 Naturally GoodMagazine Issue2

internal organs and the immune system given their ingredients,

and their known effects.

Most disease symptoms are the visible signs of a body’s

attempts to defend itself against the infection. With disease

injections, many important defences in the digestion path and

mucous membranes are bypassed.

Vaccine Ingredient: Mycoplasma

These are microscopic organisms lacking rigid cell walls

and considered to be the smallest freeliving

organisms. Many

are pathogenic, and one species is the cause of mycoplasma

pneumonia; which interestingly, is noted to occur only “in

children and young adults”, according to Mosby's Medical

Dictionary. This is not simply in vaccines by accident. It is

deliberately added as an adjuvant (to increase the immune

system's allergic “response”) to the vaccine. The ingredients

must be either poisonous, or slightly biologically infectious to

trigger immune system responses, in other words.

Vaccine Ingredient: Genetically

Modified Yeast

This is in the Hepatitis B Vaccine. Given the controversy

over the ingestion of genetically modified foods, how much

more dangerous do you think the direct injection of them is?

What are the future consequences of this genetic

experimentation against our children? Normal yeast that grows

throughout the tissues is already known to be the root cause of

countless ailments which can last for years, and in the rare

cases when it is proper diagnosed, these are called yeast

infections. Yeast overgrowth directly attacks the immune

system, and cripples the body’s ability to remove wastes,

toxins, and absorb nutrients categorically. The standard

treatment for it with antibiotics often actually strengthens these

infections in the longterm

by killing more of the beneficial flora

which normally keeps yeast overgrowth in check.

Vaccine Ingredient: Foreign DNA

DNA is used from such organisms as animals, viruses,

fungi, and bacteria. It has been documented that injecting

foreign DNA can cause it, or a portion of it, to be incorporated

into the recipient’s DNA. The horrendous longterm

multigenerational

implications defy the imagination. Although, some

people might actually find it beneficial to have their

grandchildren born with three arms, or horns from the head.

These possibilities may seem farfetched,

but with the rate at

which these type of ingredients are being incorporated into

vaccines, it is a matter of when they happen

― not if.

Describing it as insane is being too gracious.

Prologue

The human body has never experienced such a direct

invasion as this before. We hope that you consider this list,

and the side effects of vaccines before giving your child

vaccinations. We have strong reasons to believe that

overall, and in general, that the risks of horrible and longterm

side effects far outweighs the risks of the diseases

which vaccines are supposed to prevent.

Human blood is supposed to be, and traditionally was,

remarkably sterile. There were virtually no bacteria or

organisms present in the bloodstream. With vaccines now

being so prevalent, this is no longer the case. Contrary to

what we have been told, they weaken the immune system

dramatically instead of strengthening it. In the United States,

the Hepatitis B Vaccine is given to a child on the day of his

birth, often weakening his immune system for his lifetime. His

small body is just becoming accustomed to the germs around

him for the first time, and it needs the strong immune system

that he was given to be intact.

Although vaccines are mandatory in the U.S., all states

currently offer religious exemptions, and some states offer

philosophical exemptions. You may wish to consider these as

options in order to protect your children. Religious exemptions

are quite appropriate for this, because you can tell them

honestly, and with a straightface,

that you are doing it because

it is the Christian thing to do.
