Default Vets On Vaccines

http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/vets-on-vaccines/

By Catherine O’Driscoll
March/April 2012 Issue

This is a very long article so I will post a few snippets and allow
you to visit the link to see it all.

"Marcia DuBois Martin, DVM, CVA: “I have been out of school for over
20 years and don’t remember much about what we were taught on the
vaccine issue, except that vaccines were very safe with the exception
of some very rare vaccine reactions (anaphylaxis and urticaria) and
that the diseases they protected against were very dangerous. Annual
revaccination was safe and effective. I don’t remember hearing
anything about duration of immunity or long term side effects.

“When I first went into practice I did see urticaria quite frequently
in dogs. Fever and lethargy was fairly common in cats. Occasionally,
anorexia and vomiting was observed in the dog. I was under the
misguided impression that for a reaction to be vaccine related it
needed to happen within 24-48 hours of the vaccine being administered.

“Once trained to recognize vaccinosis, then the light came on and yes,
many illnesses appeared to be directly related to vaccine
administration, such as autoimmune disease (thyroid, pancreatitis,
Cushing’s, IMHA). Many times the medical history will reveal that the
first seizure happened within 1-3 weeks post rabies vaccination.
Cancer, especially lymphoma, seems to occur often within days of a
vaccine. Colic, laminitis, anorexia are frequent adverse reactions
noted in horses. In my opinion metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance
is a vaccine induced disease. Anal gland abscesses and cystitis in
cats are often seen within hours to days post vaccination. Looking at
the human literature, I am convinced that pancreatitis is a vaccine
induced disease, as is diabetes. Joint disease is being seen in
younger and younger animals and is most like due to autoantibodies
induced by vaccine administration."


"British holistic vet Mark Carpenter says: “Vaccination in college
was skimmed over with little discussion of potential risks involved.
In practice I have seen what I believe to be vaccine related problems
of skin disease (allergic); inflammatory bowel disease; and epilepsy
which appear to have been triggered or coincided with vaccination.

“I do vaccinate, as many animals require vaccination for boarding /
insurance purposes. Risks are discussed and vaccination intervals
extended to as long as I can get away with.

“Pet owners are rarely given the opportunity to discuss vaccination
issues with an unbiased professional. The motivation to annually
vaccinate is love of their pets and nothing more, and anyone who does
anything through genuine love and concern has the right motivation
even if I believe the path taken is wrong. The same applies to vets
who recommend annual vaccination; most vets who do so have only ever
been taught that it is essential, and are therefore effectively brain-
washed into genuinely believing that this is the right thing to do.
CPD events reinforce this message by not distinguishing between
minimum duration of immunity and actual likely duration, as I have
personally experienced and challenged."


"Dr Michael Dym: “Our training in veterinary school was not adequate
with regards to immune system reactions in our animals. We were
taught a one size fits all vaccination program. There was nothing
taught about the chronic immune reactions that can occur weeks, months
or years later after vaccination in certain susceptible animals. From
personal conversation with Ron Schultz, renowned veterinary
immunologist, I learned that these important concepts are not taught
in modern veterinary schools.

“When I first started to practice, I did see occasional acute
vaccination reactions such as facial swelling, hives, drooling and
soreness. However it wasn’t until I learned about chronic vaccinosis,
that I could really appreciate the chronic and damaging effect of
vaccinations on so many animals.

“Since then, I have observed practically every medical illness
documented to be exacerbated or caused by vaccinations. Amongst the
many conditions (hardly an all inclusive list) are chronic skin
allergies, hormonal problems of thyroid and adrenal glands,
behavioural issues, neurological reactions including seizures,
digestive problems such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and
even tumors.

”Now I usually only vaccinate animals for parvo and distemper as 15-16
week old puppies, and then rabies only as required by law. However,
once dogs are age one or over, I stop vaccinating and/or measure
vaccination antibody titers instead of using the needle.

”Pet owners sadly think they are doing the right thing, due to being
sadly misinformed and ignorant of the link to unnecessary vaccinations
and chronic disease in our pets. The sadder fact is the ignorance of
the vets who are brainwashed into thinking annual vaccinations is a do-
no-harm procedure.

“I don’t personally feel any pressure to keep quiet about the vaccine
issue, but I do feel it is there for well known veterinary vaccine
experts like Jean Dodds and Ron Schultz, who have become very careful
how they word the facts about vaccinations because of big pressure
from drug companies with big bucks. Sort of reminds me of the movie
Erin Brockovich."


"Dr Richard Pitcairn: “I graduated in 1965 and what I had been
presented with on the vaccine issue was not extensive. It may be more
informative now.

“When I first went into practice, I saw animals ill after vaccination
but we were taught that this was not from the vaccines but they were
already incubating the disease. Now I understand that there are many
forms of illness from vaccines. Two broad categories — immediate
effects such as shock, collapse, eruptions and itching, fevers, loss
of appetite, and longer term chronic effects. This latter group
includes many forms of poor health but especially allergies, thyroid
disorders, mouth and gum problems, chronic cystitis and kidney
inflammation, food sensitivities, pancreatitis, chronic ear catarrh
(usually called yeast infections), hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament
deterioration, arthritis, spondylitis. In other words, many of the
common chronic conditions that veterinarians see.

“I have not vaccinated animals for nigh on 30 years. It did not impact
my practice because my practice was based on use of nutrition and
homeopathy for correction of health problems.

“I believe my profession does its best but most do not realize that
they are practicing only one form of medicine and so have limited
views. As for pet owners who are advised to vaccinate annually, I wish
them well.

“I think problems arise when regulators do not respect the judgment of
the veterinarian as to the animal who receives vaccines. If the
veterinarian thinks the vaccine not appropriate because of the health
of the animal it can be overridden without understanding of the
situation.

“Poor quality food, excessive use of vaccines, suppression of disease
with powerful drugs (without curing), surgery to remove the effects of
disease without addressing the cause – these are the main causes for
ill health in animals.

“We need to have choices within the profession, that veterinarians
could be trained in other than allopathic medicine. If there was true
competition and demonstration in the marketplace as to the advantages
of homeopathic medicine, for example, then the public would begin to
understand the situation more clearly.”



"Dr Erin Zamzow: “The science on vaccination in dogs, cats and
horses was not fully explored or taught at the time we were in
school. I graduated in 1990. At that time, Dr. Ron Schulz had already
done the research showing that there was no scientific basis for
yearly vaccination in dogs and cats. Why was this not emphasized?
For years I questioned this practice, knowing that there could not be
any reason other than fear and financial gain for yearly or even every
three year vaccines in dogs and cats. Part of my disillusionment with
veterinary school is due to this obvious oversight in teaching about
the science of vaccines and the immune system interactions and what is
best for our patients.

“I observed vaccine reactions when I first went into practice. Some
animals have painful swellings after vaccinations (some in horses to
the point they could not put their heads down to eat and could not
move without pain), go off feed (this happened in a couple of horses,
very risky in this species), vomiting in some dogs and cats, lethargy
in many animals for one to four days after vaccination. I had clients
call the office describing reactions they thought might be related to
vaccines such as pruritus, hot swellings, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
When I queried my employer, the reactions were passed off as
coincidental and unrelated to the vaccinations.

“When I started seeing the vaccine induced fibrosarcomas in cats, I
became even more convinced of the danger of vaccinating too often or
for too many diseases.

“When the West Nile vaccination first came out, I was talked into
vaccinating some horses even though I was not confident that the
vaccine was safe or effective. One of the horses I vaccinated was a
pregnant mare and even though I was assured by the vaccine company
that it was okay to vaccinate pregnant mares, this mare ended up
losing her foal. I can’t say for sure this was related to the vaccine
but there was a time frame correlation. I have also observed some
horses that seemed to develop hind end weakness almost to the point of
ataxia within a couple weeks of their second West Nile vaccination. I
did not give these vaccines to these horses so cannot say for sure
that the vaccine was the cause but did observe horses that manifested
these problems after having the West Nile vaccine and did not appear
to have any other neurologic disease."



"Dr Patricia Jordan, holistic veterinarian and vaccine researcher:
“We had no training on vaccination – even those teaching us didn’t
know. I wasn’t taught very much in immunology either. This is why Dr.
Ron Schultz says, and I agree with him, that veterinary medical
doctors have no business making vaccine recommendations as they do not
have enough education in vaccinology or immunology. Unfortunately that
also goes for those teaching the senior students! I would carry this
over to the medical doctors and pediatricians. None of them should be
making vaccine recommendations. I wouldn’t allow the vaccine companies
to make the call either. Nor the regulatory agencies since they don’t
even know what it is they are regulating/licensing. This is the
inconvenient truth.

“It wasn’t until 2007, and over 25 years after starting veterinary
school, that I had the first lecture about vaccine-induced disease.
This was a talk by Dr. Ron Schultz and although adverse events were
already suspected by myself and others, his lecture contained the
first admission I encountered.

“I can see now that the immune system is reactionary and only has so
many ways to respond to immune threats. Vaccines are not a natural
threat – not even natural in the expression they generate in the gene
profile. I have come to find the diseases from allergies, asthma,
atopy, anaphylaxis, eczema, Type I-IV hypersensitivity reactions,
cancer, all the autoimmune diseases, Cushing’s, Addison’s,
hypothyroid, obesity; heart, liver, kidney disease; vision problems,
cell mediated immunity problems; bacterial, viral, fungal, yeast
infections, parasites, internal and external, skin parasites, inter
and extra-cellular pathogens like Lyme Disease and Leptospirosis,
cytotoxic t cells, all manners of heart disease – all of these and
many more are vaccine induced disease. Early aging is vaccine disease,
as are anal gland problems, pancreatic problems – all of this can be
vaccine induced.

“I will no longer vaccinate. I see no reason to infect animals. The
toxins in vaccines make no sense to me and the vaccines are
contaminated with other viruses, xenotropic viruses, genetically
engineered viruses, virions, prions and who knows what else. They all
have mycoplasma. We are adulterating the genome in ways we don’t even
recognize or admit. Vaccination is not legitimate, it is not ethical
medicine."
