Another look at vaccines.
Good things
I read the article about vaccinations by Abigail Chipley ("A shot in the arm," Healthy Lifestyles section, Better Nutrition) in your October issue and was very disturbed by it. My husband had a severe reaction to a HepB (hepatitis B) shot 2 years ago. Then, and since, we have done extensive research into vaccinations and we were abhorred to learn how many side effects they have and how many casualties they have caused, especially forced HepB and MMR shots for children. You are a magazine that promotes alternative health and I am shocked to hear that you print articles that promote vaccinations as "good things."

Editor's reply
You are right in that we have to think twice about vaccines and the role they play in good health. We can't, however, ignore the fact that vaccines have been responsible for eliminating deadly diseases. The article you mentioned ("A shot in the arm," Better Nutrition, Oct. 2000) was a report on research that is being conducted in the development of cancer vaccines, specifically; it was not a broad endorsement of universal or obligatory immunization. Although these vaccines are still in the research stage, if they prove to be a viable way to prevent (or cure) cancer, then they're certainly worth a second look.
