I want to qualify my comments by stating that I have a degree in Microbiology and I did vaccine research as an undergraduate student. That said, I believed, as did Dr. Tenpenny, the common "truths" about vaccine efficacy.

There are 3 points that shake the pillars of common beliefs about vaccines:

(1) many of the diseases that vaccines were produced to eliminate were already dying out before the vaccine was widely used; therefore, the diseases were eradicated by something other than the vaccines. That something was quarantine.

(2) The emergence of diseases among a vaccinated population; the very thing the vaccine is designed to prevent.

(3) Virus reproduction occur only inside of cells.

In order for an antibody to destroy or prevent a virus from reproducing, it must be able to "get" inside a cell. The method used to introduce the infectious agent, known as an antigen, into a living body is not the way the natural infection enters a body.

The nature of the antibody response is dependent upon the portal of entry: the body will respond differently to an infectious agent injected into a muscle, the usual method of vaccination, than it will when it enters through the nose or bronchial tubes, the method flu and respiratory infections use.

This theoretical discussion pales next to this final point. The preservatives used by vaccine production are worse than the disease they are designed to treat.

I would not allow my child to receive any vaccine that contained mercury at any level.

With the media hysteria over Bird Flu and smallpox a while back, I would strongly suggest no one rely on advise from any source that stands to gain financially or politically from it's acceptance.

Educate yourself on the facts. Make your decision based on science, not fear.
