Main article Anti-vaccinationists. See also vaccine controversy, Vaccination, junk science

A peer reviewed published review of websites recruited through their links until 100 characterised as falling within the group identified a number of propositions which were usually or commonly held in common. (Anti-vaccinationist activity on the WWW)

Additional assertions or bases of argument provided from the Whale.to website are provisionally included. Whale.to holds copies of material relating to them.

There is no official catechism of beliefs, rather the spread is characterised by an absence of criticism of any content on any other site perceivable as anti-vaccinationist.

[edit] table section 1

This is a list of some common assertions of anti-vaccinators:	First By	Supplementary	These are a list of responses	first published ;in
Vaccines aren't safe. Vaccinators have stretched the definition of safe to include death and serious brain damage. and vaccines are far more dangerous than the diseases. vaccines interfere with the immune system to our detriment.		*unquantified danger to diseases and immunisations can always allow changing the grounds...
Childhood diseases such as mumps, measles and chickenpox are safe in healthy well fed children under proper supervision. Childhood diseases such as mumps, measles and chickenpox are beneficial they are necessary processes of the immune system.		How dangerous are the diseases (A-v view)?	complication rates in children See Chickenpox Mumps Measles Prove specific benefits from the specific infections Necessary: in the absence of them, demonstrate harm occurs; supposing harm occurs, could it be averted by causing infection unnaturally?; supposing it could, could most or all the harm be averted by unnaturally causing infection with a weakened version of the disease in question, or providing exposure to the products of such infection?; if not, why not?

[edit] table section 2

This is a list of the essential assertions of anti-vaccinators:	First; By	Supplementary	These are a list of responses	first published ;in
vaccines don't "protect" as advertised
The statistics show vaccination never reduced any disease death rate eg measles deaths had declined 99.4% before vaccination in England and Wales (1964) Ref: Office for National Statistics copy of table from Twentieth Century Mortality CD at [1]			Calculate the numbers involved in a 99.4% decline in deaths after vaccination (in E&W). There is an asymptotic process here, with successive reductions taking more effort.
Vaccination never eliminated any disease such as smallpox With smallpox it was due to the decline in poverty, which was proper sanitation[2], clean water, better living conditions [3] [4] and improved diet [5]. or polio.			Smallpox is the only disease which has been eliminated. irrelevant and distracting to argue others have been not since nobody has argued vaccination has eliminated any others, yet. various inf. diseases have been eliminated locally, immunisation being part of the process. Smallpox has been eliminated. Vaccination was part of the process. Much of the world has abject poverty still None of it has Smallpox Polio is vastly decreased, immunisation is part of the process, when immunisation was interrupted in the Kano state of Nigeria in 2003, Polio increased.

The dangers of all the diseases have been massively hyped to sell vaccination fearmongering has become a science to more effectively sell vaccines and other drugs.			Morbidity and mortality of several diseases are greater than anti-vaccinationist writings make clear

[edit] table section 3

The appalling treatment of vaccine victims exposes the proffered benevolence as false, also shown by: The way they keep vaccines proven unsafe in one country on the market in others for years. MMR Urabe banned by the Department of Health in 1992, two years after an identical vaccine was banned in Canada [6]. In use in Brazil in 1997 [7] [8]. For sale in 2002 [9]
Vaccination, from top to bottom is run by the drug industry the government health departments are run by the drug industry - the fox is in charge of the henhouse. You can see this in the government vaccine committees [10]. only the vaccine belief system ever gets disseminated:			The US government is run by the oil industry Google indicates many thousand pages of anti-vaccinationism
**Unhealthy, and/or malnourished children should not be vaccinated (ie most third world children).			While there is malnutrition and ill-health in the Third World, it is a grotesque exaggeration to suggest this is most children. It is seriously inconsistent to suggest that vaccination is not needed for the properly nourished, but that the poorly nourished should not receive it.
Vaccine testing, for effectiveness and contaminants, is left to the makers, and they have NEVER (that anyone has yet found) run a vaccine trial using 100% unvaccinated children as controls. One of their main reasons for maintaining high vaccine uptake is to eliminate these unvaccinated controls.			This falls into the category of natural experiments conspiracism
Also: Vaccine makers are protected from litigation which eliminates the main driver for vaccine "safety" Not only that, the victims (taxpayer) have to pay for the damage.	First said by, and in	Supplementary info How dangerous are the diseases (A-v view):	responses
Vaccination is run on the Pasteur germ theory The Pasteur germ theory is false Antoine Bechamp's theory is the correct germ theory Antoine Bechamp's theory completely undermines the vaccination belief system.		Pasteur's demonstration is repeatable and his explanation well-established. Bechamp was wrong.
vaccination is highly profitable vaccination is a medical experiment using children without informed consent	says...	Supp	The Welcome Foundation is a not-for-profit Vaccine production in Cuba is not highly profitable.([11] cover) If capitalism is evil, it is not a vaccination problem. Experiments test hypotheses. What hypothesis does the alleged experiment test? emotional polemic, and yet immunisations are not confined to children. The world is full of lawyers. They don't think so.
and to compound that fact- Vaccination is compulsory in (all?) the United States of America.		State by state, and for other countries, this is susceptible to factual testing and citing laws... Vaccination is not compulsory in the UK	This is demonstrably untrue of Georgia, US http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/askdoe.aspx?PageReq=ASKNewcomer (viewed Feb 2006)
present knowledge of the child immune system is sparse. with this and the wrong disease theory vaccination is a medical experiment without informed consent the information supplied to parents is derisory easily seen by comparing Vaccine Information Leaflets [12] with Package Inserts/Data Sheets [13]	Dr Dunbar 1999		Present knowledge of the immune system allows us to make successful matched bone-marrow transplants and do many other clever things requiring an understanding. Package inserts are heavily regulated in the UK So are data sheets Both are available on the Web.
