No More Fear by

Those trying to discredit parents who have legitimate vaccine safety
concerns mischaracterize parents as "being afraid" of vaccines. They use
the term "fear" to try and mislead the public into thinking that these
parental concerns are somehow irrational, trivial, or not based on credible
information.

Vaccine evangelists have been hitting it hard falsely accusing educated and
informed parents as being afraid of vaccines. You can do your own internet
search for many examples, but you won't want to miss where they pull out all
of the stops in their Wired Magazine article An Epidemic of Fear: How
Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All.

The good news is, as the study Parental Vaccine Safety Concerns in 2009
illustrates, it isn't working and parents aren't buying it.

Here is an example outside of vaccination for the benefit of those so
enamored with vaccines that they can't see their flaws and can't comprehend
what I am saying. I am not afraid of high fructose corn syrup or MSG. As
an educated consumer, I choose not to feed these to myself or my family.
Why? Because their performance for supporting health is not up to my
standards. In other words, their benefits are not worth the risk.

The same applies to my view, and I firmly believe from experience, many
other parents' views, on vaccines. Parents love their kids and want the
best for them. If parents are losing confidence in vaccines, it is not
because they are more afraid than they used to be. It is because they are
becoming educated and informed, and the benefits claimed are not worth the
risk of the harm the vaccines can cause.

Here's the bottom line take home message to anyone who really wants to
understand what is going on: the standards of the vaccine industry and the
government regulatory bodies are not high enough for a growing number of
educated parents. Thank GOD that we live in a country where parents who
care about their children get to have higher safety standards than the
government or vaccine industry.

Parents aren't afraid - they just simply aren't buying into the propaganda
job by the "fear" slingers because no amount of "education" will undue the
fact that just about everybody now knows somebody whose life has been
irreparably harmed due to vaccine reactions. Bad vaccine reactions happen
far too often.

That does not make parents afraid; it makes them know they want better for
their children.
