Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Phew that was long . One of my favorite passages: VACCINOSES-ADVERSE VACCINE REACTIONS This is the roulette of vaccine-based preventive medicine. It has become an industry that we are learning to censor because of the increasing incidence of adverse vaccine reactions, so called vaccinosis, in human and companion animal recipients. Selling annual vaccinations along with manufactured, highly processed pet foods has become the bread and butter of conventional small animal veterinary practice. Yet this combination, as in the consumer populace eating junk and convenience foods and being hypervaccinated in childhood, is the cause of a host of iatrogenic health problems, compounded by genetic susceptibility in certain pure-breeds. Veterinarian Dr. Jean Dodds has linked the following health problems in dogs to vaccinations that can harm some breeds more than others and appear more randomly in the ‘mixed breed’ segment of the population: fever, stiffness, sore joints and abdominal tenderness, neurological disorders, polyneuropathy, transient seizures, and encephalitis, increased susceptibility to infections, collapse with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune mediated thrombocytopenia, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, necrotizing vasculitis, joint disease, polyarthritis, and hypertrophic osteodystrophy. While acknowledging other environmental factors, Dr. Dodds contends that the increase in allergic and immunological diseases in dogs is linked to the introduction of MLV vaccines more than 20 years ago. And, YIKES: The misanthropy behind commercial vaccinology is more of consequence than design. Or so I wish to believe. The new generation of live GE (genetically engineered) vaccines being developed, tested and marketed could amount to a chaos-sustaining genetic pollution that will predictably be far worse than radioactive ‘waste’, because it will be impossible to ever recall or contain. There are enough DNA damaging pollutants in our food, water and air which need to be cleaned up as it is. Indirectly profiting from the health problems these are causing with ever more pharmaceutical and other conventional, often iatrogenic, medical treatments is ethically questionable.

| Holy cow - this is scary!!!!! VIRUSES EVOLVE AND MUTATE As a veterinarian I am concerned over the widespread dissemination of MLV and GE virus strains through the mass vaccinations of humans, livestock and poultry, and in-house companion animals. Some GE vaccines have been widely used is several countries in bait to stop rabies in foxes, jackals, and other wild carnivores. These vaccines all contain live viruses, supposedly weakened strains recombined, like the pox virus used as an infective carrier, sliced with an attenuated strand of rabies virus DNA. It’s like the Cauliflower mosaic virus that is used as a carrier of engineered genes in GE crops expressing herbicide tolerance and insecticidal proteins (Bt in corn). But there is one big difference. The aim of vaccination is to trigger an antibody immune response to the antigens in the vaccine. A poor response could lead to actual disease from the vaccine or vaccine failure, just as an over-reaction could mean death to the recipient..............If there is a dormant/latent viral infection already present in the recipient, vaccination against another pathogen could impair the immune system leading to the latent viral infection taking hold.
