Pet Vaccines:
A Word from a Vet Student on Pet Vaccines
by Christy
I know this response ages later may seem bizarre, but I won't go through the trials and tribulations of a vet student's life that have made me unable to check my email for the last month (nor do anything bar sleep in my every spare moment I might add). There is a little more people should probably know about aluminum as an adjuvant to their vaccines though.
To say something produces cancer in lab mice isn't really saying much because in lab tests they usually blast the mice with mega doses of whatever they are testing for and see what all goes wrong. To bring this issue a little bit closer to people, I'd like to talk about the vaccines in their dogs and cats.
People may have noticed in the last few years in some areas that their vets have begun to ask them to have their pets vaccinated every 2-3 years instead of yearly and vets have begun (in America at least) to vaccinate dogs and cats in their hind legs instead of under the skin between their shoulder blades as has been the protocol for many years. Vets may quote that this is because research has shown that vaccines are probably effective for longer than one year, but that information has been available for years.
What few vets tell their clients is that these vaccines have been causing relatively huge numbers of aggressive fibrous tumors at the injection sites. They are looking after your pets by giving the injections in the hind legs instead of the shoulder blades -- don't doubt that they care for you. They just don't want to tell you that if a tumor forms, they can amputate your pet's leg but little can be done for a tumor between the shoulder blades. These tumors are associated with vaccines that have an aluminum adjuvant more so than any other type of adjuvant.
In other words, think not just about vaccines for yourself but all of those you love. Ask your vet about the prevalence of diseases in your area and then make the decision whether or not to vaccinate for major diseases.
Ask your doctor about the prevalence of diseases in your area (and anywhere that you may travel) and the short and long term consequences of the disease in question before you allow yourself to be vaccinated.
Wherever possible, get informed, make educated choices.
