A new Angus Reid poll conducted at the end of last month suggests the number of parents opposed to vaccinating their children has grown significantly over the last five years in Canada.
One of the main discussions at the World Health Organization’s Global Vaccine Safety Summit in 2019 was about vaccine hesitancy.
Experts at the conference emphasized that not only are citizens around the world becoming more hesitant to vaccinations, but so are doctors, other health professionals and scientists.
In fact, the WHO listed vaccine hesitancy as one of the biggest threats to global health security.

This fact was emphasized at the conference by Professor Heidi Larson, the Director at the Vaccine Confidence Project.
“The other thing that’s a trend, and an issue, is not just confidence in providers but confidence of health care providers, we have a very wobbly health professional frontline that is starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines…”
Who would have guessed that concerns about vaccine safety was even on the radar of health professionals prior to COVID? Not many people. This ignorance was largely due to the one sided, one size fits all type of messaging and marketing that’s surrounded vaccines for decades.
It’s common to hear about the benefits of certain vaccinations, but it seemed as if everybody was oblivious to the safety and efficacy concerns that were (and are) being raised by legitimate science.
Keep in mind, I’m not suggesting here that vaccinations have zero value. I’m suggesting that culturally we’ve never been allowed to address the problems openly and freely.
The fact that these concerns were (and still are) seldom addressed is discouraging. Instead, it was (and is) more common to hear terms like “anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist” as a common rebuttal to these concerns.
What concerns? The fact that injected aluminum does not exit the body, for example. Cells come to the injection site and take up this aluminum inside of them. It is then transported and lodged into various organs, and possibly passes the blood brain barrier where it can produce a disease.
Instead of more research looking into the implications of this, funding for research is cut off. We saw this when the world’s most eminent aluminum researcher, Dr. Christopher Exley, lost his funding for the concerns he discovered/published with aluminum containing vaccines. This was followed by a large character assassination campaign. Many childhood vaccines contain aluminum adjuvants.
What about concerns with COVID vaccines?
Or what about the fact that outbreaks of measles have been documented in highly vaccinated populations for decades? There are so many examples that it’s hard to source them all. You can view a couple of examples here and here.
How about the fact that 1 in 10,000 (0.01%) of natural measles cases are fatal, or that 75–92% of hospitalized measles cases are low in vitamin A? What about the fact that thousands of hospitalizations, disabilities and hundreds of deaths have been reported to injury systems as a result of the MMR vaccine?
What about lifetime immunity that’s acquired as a result of contracting the measles, and the other health benefits it provides to the immune system?
These are a few of many dozens of examples to consider. This is not to say that the MMR vaccine is not effective and useful. You could easily argue that it is, but there is also another side of the story that lacks conversation and nuance.
