The Immunity Education Group (non-profit) recently posted a video on how to recognize harmful vaccine reactions. It is well-worth the two and a half minute watch here:

I think it is important to note that just because some of these reactions are considered "normal" does not equate to causing no harm.
There are numerous stories of children who have suffered a range of vaccine reactions from mild to death. These cases should not be ignored in the name of the "common good."
My stance will always be: where there is risk, there must be choice. Period.
The federal court stated in 09-152 Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC (02/22/11) - Supreme Court, that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe." With this remark they essentially determined that, yes, vaccines are unsafe--we can't help it, but they can't be improved upon, so it's ok.
I find that unacceptable. If there is great risk--and ask any parent of a vaccine injured child whether there is--there must be motivation to improve, and there must be choice for that medical procedure. If something is unsafe, and your unwilling to improve upon it, and children are being injured and killed from it, then it needs to be discontinued or be a choice to parents--not become compulsory.
My nephew experienced a terrible case of eczema after his MMR vaccine--he still has scars over ten years later from it, and he was one of the lucky ones. A cursory glance over the records my mother kept after each of my childhood vaccinations discloses that I experienced sickness along with high fevers and all the "mild" reactions listed in the video after each one--I was also lucky. Of course, when I was a kid there were far fewer vaccines in the schedule.
Then, just after college, in preparation for a sojourn to Central America, I had the Hepatitis A shot. When I received the shot, I was one-hundred percent healthy, within about 15 hours of having the shot, I became very sick. At the time, I thought I must have just eaten something bad or come down with a bad flu all of a sudden, so I didn't call my doctor--just cared for myself best I could and missed a few days of work in the process. Having done research after the fact, I now realize, I was having an adverse reaction to the vaccine. Every "mild" side effect listed, I had except instead of a "low fever," I had a high one.
Mild Side Effects of Hepatitis A Vaccine:
- low fever
- headache;
- dizziness, tired feeling;
- nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite;
- joint pain;
- sore throat; or
- swelling, redness, or a hard lump where the shot was given.
Taking it to the other extreme would be this example of severe adverse reactions to the Gardasil HPV vaccine. Erin Crawford is interviewed by VAXXED (it's about a 20 minute video--if you can, watch it, she's amazing and her story is powerful and telling. If you can't watch all of it, watch from about minute 12 of video):
"Erin was a completely healthy college student who was asked to take Gardasil as part of a trial. Within 24 hours she was violently sick, vomiting, and went on to develop Cervical cancer within 18 months, the very thing the vaccine was supposed to protect her from." She saved her tonsils and part of her cervix and had them sent to three independent labs for testing... the results showed that HPV 15 and 18 were present in both samples--those are two of the three strains that were in the Gardasil dose she received.
Vaccines do not just harm children, they can also harm teenagers and adults too. Erin's ending remark is a plea for all of us to get informed about the risks, and make informed decisions, not emotional ones.
Here is the "Not a Coincidence" video they reference in the interview above, if you are interested. It, too, is powerful, and so sad.
These are our children. Is this what it means to allow "unavoidably unsafe" vaccines to be mandated on our children? We must stand up for these girls and all children. If we don't, who will?
