VACCeptable Injuries? Reader Review Event (Ends 6/1) WW



Welcome to the  "VACCeptable Injuries"   Reader Review Event!

Offering you a chance to Read, Review and Enter!

My Devotional Thoughts along with several other fabulous bloggers are happy to bring this event to our readers. An event like no other, we hope to open a dialog on this important topic-Vaccine Related Injuries.  I have to admit this is something I really don't know anything about, but I am always wanting to learn  about topics--even if they are controversial.  My daughter did not receive all of her vaccines until she was about a year and a half old, and I never regretted my decision.

Author Markus Heinze is so passionate about telling his story that he is sponsoring this event to share his book with everyone. Unlike some events we are offering every person who enters the chance to download "VACCeptable Injuries" for free. Along with a free book, we are offering two great Amazon prizes.


Meet the Author

The reasons for having written VACCeptable Injuries.   Medical interventions are difficult decisions, especially when parents have to make these decisions for their little children. Having to choose whether or not to intervene medically is simple if your child is ill and the medical intervention has proven to make your child feel better. If your child is healthy, however, the decision to medically intervene becomes more difficult, especially when the information on the effectiveness of the medical intervention is conflicting and inconclusive. Vaccinating your child (giving shots) is one of those medical interventions. Unfortunately most parents don't even realize that they are making a decision, as they follow blindly the recommendation of their pediatrician. Only parents whose children have been harmed by a vaccine, tend to research the topic of vaccine safety and effectiveness. I am one of those parents. My teachers always told me that there was nothing worse than following blindly, as there are great dangers involved in riding any bandwagon. Once we parents take our seats on the bandwagon, we are no longer leading our families - we are simply fellow passengers along with our children. We are no longer the ones making decisions for our children - we have ceded this important decisions to whomever is riding this particular bandwagon. VACCeptable Injuries will put you back into the drivers seat. Whether or not you decide to vaccinate, this book will help you make an informed choice, rather than a bandwagon decision.

This Day in History February 23, 1954

My daughter has a morbid fear of vaccines, but as we know, vaccines are one of the best ways to protected against serious diseases.  Polio is one of those horrible diseases that most people don't have to worry about any more.  And it is all due to Dr. Jonas Salk's magnificent vaccine.  And it was on this date in 1954, that mass inoculations against this disease began.  In his home city of Pittsburgh, he essentially has a city-wide clinical trial of his vaccine, and 15,000 children were involved.  Because the results were so good, 1.8 million children from the U.S. and Canada were inoculated, and the rest is history.

This Day in History October 26, 1977

Bet you can't figure out what this picture depicts. This is something as of now that is eradicated.  On this date in 1977, the last case of smallpox was reported.  This horrible disease is a thing of the past (at least for now).  The last case was reported in a remote area of Somalia, and as far as we know, that was it.  Let's hope it stays that way because as we know, diseases can come back.  But for now, smallpox is a thing of the past, and that is a great scientific achievement for this world of ours!
