Green Our Vaccines
Green our vaccines? What does that mean? Tomorrow we may find out. Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are leading a march in Washington to demand safer vaccines. According to TACA they want to remove all the toxins from vaccines and change the schedule so that children receive less vaccines and get them later in life. But according to Kev over on Left Brain/Right Brain Jenny went on the record with this gem;
I am surely not going to tell anyone to vaccinate. But if I had another child, there’s no way in hell…….for my next kid—which I’m never going to have—there’s no way.
Now that sounds anti-vaccine to me not pro-vaccine. But I will assume for now that nobody behind the Green Our Vaccines Rally, not TACA, not Generation Rescue, not NAA, not HEAL, not Moms Against Mercury, not Safe Minds, none of these groups are anti-vaccine. All these groups agree with the official line from Jenny and Jim. According to TACA
While Jenny and Jim support the vaccine program, like many, they feel vaccines are too toxic. This country has the ability to provide a safer vaccine supply and schedule to our children.
One part of Green Our Vaccines is to remove the toxins. Now I am assuming that they do not mean the real toxins in vaccines, the weakened forms of diseases that teach our immune systems how to resist the real thing if we should ever come in contact with it. That would not Green our vaccines. It would denature them. No they just want safer vaccines. So what would they remove?
Thiomersal/Thimerosal, the mercury based preservative is gone from nearly all childhood vaccines according to the FDA. And for the flu vaccine that still contain it there are alternatives.
Aluminium/Aluminum is a necessary adjuvant. It makes the vaccine more effective so children need less shots. I thought that was another of the aims of Green Our Vaccines - less shots for children.
Formaldehyde is a natural product. It is sometimes used as an antimicrobial in vaccine production but it is also produced in our bodies as a byproduct of our metabolism. Removing antimicrobials from the production process would definitely Green Our Vaccines in the way I greened a piece of cheese that lay forgotten in my fridge.
Perhaps they mean some of the products that are allegedly found in vaccines like antifreeze. Actually only one ingredient in antifreeze, polyethylene glycol, is used to inactivate one brand of flu vaccine. It is also a common ingredient of many cosmetics and toothpaste and is totally safe.
The other aspect of the call to Green Our Vaccines is to reduce the number of vaccines and give them later in life and at greater intervals. Now, I may be a victim of government propaganda. But, to my mind tiny babies are vulnerable to all sorts of dangers from real diseases and the sooner they get the protection of the recommended vaccine schedule the better.
Perhaps some enterprising journalist will ask some specific questions of Jenny and Jim about how the details of how they propose to Green Our Vaccines. I am sure the answers would be entertaining and instructive.
