Money Motivation?

I do not claim to be an expert on vaccinations...in fact...my research has only begun, and I read more every single day.  I thought that this was important enough to mention (and I'm sure there are more figures out there like what I am about to share with you).  I'm sure this is merely one $ figure of many that are "motivating" our mass vaccinations for "herd immunity."  You can't tell me that vaccinations have nothing to do with money!  They have everything to do with money!

This is written by an M.D.  She tries to give both sides of the coin when it comes to health and vaccinations...but the more I read....the more I conclude that the risks far out weigh the benefits of the vaccinations.  I have come to my own conclusion that the public has turned a blind eye to some very scary truths regarding vaccines!  I have been one of those people for the last year!  We don't know, what we don't know!

Our doctors and pediatricians are required by the states to mandate vaccinations for all children.  Hmmm, I wonder why....

The information below was taken from the Hepatitis B section of the book, so that is why she specifically mentions Hep B.  It applies to all vaccines though, not just Hep B!

Taken straight from What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations, By: Stephanie Cave, M.D. with Deborah Mitchell.

How States "Encourage" Vaccinations

"If you want to encourage people to do something, one of the most effective ways is to offer them an incentive.  The CDC has given hundreds of millions of dollars to state health departments in the form of immunization grants since 1965.  When the hepatitis B vaccine was added to the recommended list, the states could hope to get some of that money if they enforced mandatory vaccinations and tracked them.  Today state health officials who cannot provide proof to federal health officials of a certain rate of vaccinations cannot get the funds.

And the amount of funds is substantial.  The Comprehensive Childhood Immunization Act of 1993 gave the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) the authority to give more than $400 million annually to states that establish a registry that tags and tracks children as they receive their mandatory vaccinations, including hepatitis B vaccine.  Each state receives between $50 and $100 per child who is fully vaccinated with all federally recommended vaccines.  This tracking system is part of a larger registry program under development by the CDC."

Encouragement from Other Sources

"Parents are further encouraged to vaccinate their children with the hepatitis B vaccine through the efforts of the nonprofit Immunization Action Coalition, which funds the Hepatitis B Coalition, a national effort to push the vaccine for all children.  Funding for this nonprofit comes from private donations, including a grant from SmithKlein Beecham, which manufactures one of the two hepatitis B vaccines on the market.  The CDC also gave the nonprofit a $750,000 grant." 

You can decide for yourself...but this information makes me feel very uneasy.
