Vaccine Research

I just wanted to share some research that my nurse friend gave me.  It was given to her by her midwife (who lives in Fort Collins).  I haven't had the time to sift through it yet, but I thought I'd share it anyway (I know - irresponsible).  Judging from some of the titles, I'm guessing it's more in the "minimal vaccination" camp.

WEB RESOURCES:
http://www.nvic.org/ National Vaccine Information Center
http://www.909shot.com/ same people run this site, gives you history of vaccination in U.S., etc.
http://www.thinktwice.com/ this site has  many links to vaccine-related sites
http://www.gval.com/ Global Vaccine Awareness League
http://www.vaccinationnews.com/ this has many breaking news stories about reactions - She says this is a messy website, but has good info if you want to take the time to navigate it.
http://www.icpa4kids.com/ this is the chiro-pediatrics group - often if you let them know you need some literature, they can provide it (on a side note - this is the website that directed me to a chiropractor that could do the "webster technique", a chiropractic adjustment that helps breech babies get in the right position - Na'arah was breech and turned after doing this technique - Woot! Woot!)
http://www.vaers.hhs.gov/ This is the government website for VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting service)

My friend also said there is a great book by Dr. Sears about the subject (I didn't get the name of it), but I plan on seeing if the Library has it this afternoon.  Another book that was recommended by the midwife is How to Raise a Healthy Child, in Spite of Your Doctor by Robert S. Mendelsohn, MD.  I'll see if this is at the Library, too and let you know what I find out.  I'll also try to find some that are not recommended by someone with an obvious slant from the beginning.  (I like to get both sides:) 
One other interesting thing of note, today I received the approval letter for Zion to have "religious exemption" for the varicella vaccine booster shots.  The part that made me go "hmmmm" was "Please be advised that since Zion is exempted from Varicella vaccinations, he will be excluded from school and community events in the event of an outbreak of a communicable disease."  I guess I need to call them and get it straight from the horse's mouth what this means, but I was a little confused.  I thought there wouldn't be any chickenpox going around now since everyone (except the few freaks like us) is vaccinated.  Are they worried that he will get sick?  If he is the carrier of the sickness, the other kids shouldn't be able to get sick from him, right?  I'll call them next week and try to figure out what it meant.  Of course, since Zion only goes to the school for orchestra twice a week, I'm not too worried about him being excluded anyway (and I'm not freaked out if he happens to get chickenpox as well.:)
