18 Facts About Vaccine Risk

Parents are assured by doctors and health officials that vaccines are safe and effective. Health
Canada, MedEffectTM Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, as well as trade associations

such as the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) heavily influence society’s perception of vaccine safety and
effectiveness. Are vaccines as safe and effective as claimed by these participants in our health care system?
Recently, the CMA voted to support ‘mandatory’ vaccination. One province has already been influenced to
impose ‘mandatory’ vaccine education sessions on parents before allowing them to file vaccine exemptions for
their children. Medical agencies and associations work to minimize dialogue on risk in order to maximize vaccine
uptake, while at the same time denying that vaccines, like all drugs carry the risk of injury and death for some.
Increasingly, those who question vaccine safety are vilified and marginalized. Parents recognize that their right
to make fully informed and voluntary vaccine choices for their children is being threatened.
Here are 18 facts about your rights and vaccine safety science that vaccine providers don’t want to talk about.
