The video -video was removed-does not mention polio which is a vital vaccination and about which I wrote recently extensive because of the many questions from patients.

Hope that Polio will soon disappear from the earth like small pox [VARIOLA] which was one of the biggest successes in medicine.

Pertussis [sha-elet] is a very important vaccination at least in the first year when children can get very sick from it. If you are sick with pertussis look for a homeopathic solution as well which can be very effective[personal experience]

After the first year the disease is normally less dangerous but still can be very bothersome, Alas, the pertussis vaccine is far less effective then the other vaccines and there are still pertussis cases in vaccinated children. Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis and polio are MUST vaccinations [all 4 times given at the same time] Don’t listen to anybody who tells you that these vaccines are not necessary or dangerous, also not to the site of Dr. Mercola. Indeed the only -dangerous vaccine in the past has been pertussis, but in extreme rare cases only. When many years ago parents in the U.K stopped vaccinating their children with pertussis [because of worry for the danger] there was a far higher mortality then there would ever have been with the vaccination and they cam back from/on their decision. Probably the new acellular pertussis vaccine tends to cause less danger, but it is not totally known if this is so [ at least I could not find clear proof for this]
