I vaccinated my child. I followed my doctor’s recommendations. Then my child began to develop health issues that could not be explained otherwise. As someone who was familiar with browsing and reading published scientific research on a regular basis, I began to investigate the vaccine issue. This is what I found. The National Institutes of Health funded two studies to determine if there are genetic traits which can increase the risk of adverse events from the smallpox vaccine. In the first study, they found three genetic mutations which were significantly linked to an increased risk, then ran a second study, which confirmed their findings. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2746083/pdf/nihms107979.pdf Unfortunately, there has been no further research on these mutations with regard to other vaccines and adverse events. And there’s a good reason for this. I’ll get to that in a bit. My son has one of the genetic mutations identified in the NIH studies (MTHFR). This particular mutation impairs folate synthesis and affects glutathione production. This can reduce the ability of the body to neutralize and defend against toxic exposures. There was *zero* indication that he had this mutation, and the indications that would have given us a clue (like lip and tongue ties), were not recognized as such by medical professionals. My son was considered a normal, healthy infant. I did not know he had this mutation until I discovered it’s connection to vaccines and found a pediatrician who would test for it. When it comes to this mutation, how rare is it? There are those who have the most severe form of the mutation, like my son, and there are those who have the less severe form, like myself. Then of course there‘s a portion of the population which has the normal, unaffected gene = no defect. A publication by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) claims that 10-15% of caucasians have the severe form of this gene defect. In Hispanics, prevale...
