Vaccines have hit a bump in the road in recent years. The once minimal resistance to pediatric vaccinations has become more vocal and widespread. Parents groups, autism groups, and other right-headed doctors like me are stepping up and saying “no” to vaccinations.
So now, like an opportunistic infection, the vaccination pushers are seeking another host body to feed on. A new “sobering” report released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) claims that too few adults are getting inoculated. “We really need to get beyond the mentality that vaccines are for kids,” said the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat. “Vaccines are for everybody.”
Yeah, right.
There are relatively new vaccines that are alleged to protect against shingles, cervical cancer, and whooping cough, but the CDC seems to think that these cure-alls are being underused. According to the study, only 2 percent of the Americans over age 60 have been inoculated against shingles with Zostavax in the first year it’s been on the market. There are two whooping cough boosters – Adacel and Boostrix – yet only 2 percent of adults between 18 and 64 have opted to get the shot. Gardasil, which fights the human papillomavirus (HPV) – an STD that can cause cervical cancer – has been more successful than the others with 10 percent of women between ages 18 and 26 receiving the shot … but the CDC seems to be implying that this isn’t enough.
Schuchat says the CDC “obviously has more work to do” when it comes to spreading the word about these vaccines.
If you ask me, this study has the foul stink of Big Pharma about it.
