Vaccine failure and serious adverse vaccine events have been documented in decades of studies published in the world's leading medical journals.

These adverse events include disability, chronic immunological and neurological disorders (such as autism, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, allergies, cancer, and other conditions), and death (including SIDS). Vaccination has been documented to cause significant short and long term damage at an astounding personal and financial cost to families and taxpayers. Disease outbreaks have occurred in populations where there has been 100% or near 100% vaccination compliance. [Alan Phillips, J.D. Attorney and Counselor at Law, 'Dispelling Vaccination Myths: An Introduction to the Contradictions Between Medical Science and Immunization Policy' (2002)]

Parents are frequently bullied, threatened or intimidated to vaccinate their children.

This is often done without accurately informing parents of the adverse vaccine risks, or their parental rights. Threats can include judicial punishment, removal of children, or exemption from access to public services (e.g. education).

The dangers of childhood diseases are grossly exaggerated in order to ensure mass compliance.

The inferred risk or danger of disease is overstated to scare parents into complying to this questionable but profitable procedure. [Alan Phillips, J.D. Attorney and Counselor at Law, 'Dispelling Vaccination Myths: An Introduction to the Contradictions Between Medical Science and Immunization Policy' (2002)]

US health care spending reached $1.6 trillion in 2003, representing 14% of the nation's gross national product.

1 in every 100 to 150 American child develops autism and 1 in 6 is learning disabled and 1 in 9 has asthma.

In one very telling report, the General Accounting Office (an agency of the U.S. Government) "found that of the 198 drugs approved by the FDA between 1976 and 1985 ... 102 (or 51.5 percent) had serious post-approval risks ... the serious post-approval risks (included) heart failure, myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, respiratory depression and arrest, seizures, kidney and liver failure, severe blood disorders, birth defects and fetal toxicity, and blindness."

A report in 2003 showed the American medical system is a leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine (USA) was an astounding 783,936 per year at a staggering economic cost of $282 billion. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate was 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.5.

The fully referenced report also showed the following statistics:

• The number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year.
• In 1995, Dr. Richard Besser of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections to be 20 million; in 2003, Dr. Besser spoke in terms of tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually.
• The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million per year.
• The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually was 7.5 million per year.
• The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually was 8.9 million per year.

As few as 5% and no more than 20% of iatrogenic acts are ever reported, implying that if medical errors were completely and accurately reported, the annual iatrogenic death toll (U.S.A.) would be much higher than 783,936.
