Health Ministry officials report that over 50,000 children up to the age of nine have already received the polio oral booster vaccine in the southern district. On Sunday 12 Elul 5773, the booster program moved national as the health experts made the decision to vaccinate all of the nation’s children from two months until the age of nine.
In Jerusalem, 130,000 children will be vaccinated in one of the city’s 31 Tipat Chalav well baby centers.
As is the case in Israel with just about any decision, the announcement of the nationwide program was met with opposition, parents who do not wish to expose their children to the polio virus. They feel the medical community has failed to prove the vaccine is effective. Therefore, these parents and the Izun Chozer organization on Sunday filed a petition against the oral vaccination program with the High Court of Justice.
Health officials explain that any vaccination is accompanied by an element of risk but that minimal risk is outweighed considerably by a vaccination’s protection against a specific illness.

of course every vaccine has some risks but people forget how it was before vaccines
Who Really Cares about Your Child?
Is it the vaccine manufacturers, who are behind virtually everything you have ever been told about the safety of vaccines? Dr. Samuel Katz, developer of the measles vaccine states, “Government doesn’t fund clinical studies of vaccines. Industry does.”
The current number of vaccinations your children will receive by the time they are 18 years old is an astounding 68!
And more vaccinations are on their way.
That is one gigantic cash industry, coming in at around $50 billion dollar annually.
This article is extremely misleading. The complaint here is NOT against vaccination per se. This program is a plan to give children who were already vaccinated with the newer polio vaccine — IPV — a “booster” dose of the oral and more risky OPV. This does not offer any better protection for the individual child being vaccinated. The advantage of OPV is that it kills the virus even in healthy carriers (in their digestive tracts), so it prevents the disease from spreading to others who were not vaccinated. Many parents don’t want to give their already protected children yet another vaccine simply to protect those who haven’t been immunized.
Here is the explanation from someone at the U.S. CDC when asked about the situation by an American in Israel:
“The real problem is with the circulating wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV) (ultimately originating from Pakistan). This virus can cause an outbreak of paralytic disease, especially among undervaccinated groups. OPV, unlike IPV, can confer mucosal (“intestinal”) immunity, making it much harder for the virus to spread. It had been hoped that IPV alone in settings of high sanitation/hygiene might block WPV spread, but the current widespread distribution of WPV in Israel (despite the absence of paralytic cases) has forced a re-assessment. The planned bOPV campaigns will very likely (based on extensive experience in many other countries) shut down WPV circulation in ways IPV now demonstrably could not.
Both IPV and OPV are very safe.[b] Both OPV and IPV confer excellent individual protection, but OPV has the additional advantage of stopping WPV transmission in its tracks.[/b] Control of WPV circulation is important in Israel, not only to protect the people of Israel, but also because the virus could spread further, spark an outbreak in neighboring areas where health services have collapsed, with the potential for wider reimportation back into Israel and increased and protracted risk of outbreaks among undervaccinated groups.
I hope this information was helpful to you.

What about the well-publicised statement from Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the Polio vaccine, that nowadays most Polio is caused by the vaccination program itself.
Is it fair that children with weaker immunity to polio be intentionally sacrificed for “the greater good?”
Peakman #1 {YWN editors I took out the verbal}
The strongest memories of how it was before the vaccines are what the media keeps reminding us {Iron lungs, paralysis…}, and what the media created then. At the time the media was creating massive panic a lot more than today. And that became the ‘memory’ of many people. Do you remember the west Nile virus? I do. It was a scary thing we had to stay home and let the ‘authorities’ spray the air with toxic chemicals to ‘save’ us from ‘the virus’ and thank G-D; ‘they’ saved us! {Shoo!!! whipe a brow} Balony! And the bird flu, remember… and the swine flu remember… and on and on with those bored money suckers. And I bet in 10 years from now these children that are being vaccinated will reminisce how there was a “polio outbreak” when they were young! Ha! Not even one person got sick! But they will remember what the media is creating. Let me clue you in to their next ploy, ready? The next big scare will probably be “MERS Coronavirus” Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus. give about a month and it’ll be like the swine flu and the bird flu and on and on {Remember; you were Warned}. Wake up people, these people are not on our side! Stop trusting them blindly, question their authority! There is no “medical authority” it’s “medical opinion” and you can also have an opinion. The problem is that the ‘government’ has become this entity and they are an authority. Learn the history of vaccines and you will see that vaccines ‘did not’ save humanity! May Hashem open our eyes!
#3 According to a 2004 report by Neil Z. Miller of the Global Vaccine Instituteiv, the live polio virus from the vaccine can remain in your throat for one to two weeks, and in your feces for up to two months. So not only is the vaccine recipient at risk, but he or she can potentially spread the disease as long as the virus remains in feces. In fact when there was a “outbreak” of polio in the Amish community in Minnesota in 2005 it was the OPV derived virus, which was discontinued in 2000! So how did it get into them? Obviously they were in close contact with someone who traveled from overseas and was carrying the virus from the vaccine. So if you get the OPV you are contagious! And the system keeps spewing garbage science and people buy it!
It is about time that the governments wised up to the fact the unvaccinated children are the most protected children on the planet and that it is the vaccinated that are most at risk of disease and disability. They need to read the work of Dr. Scheibner and the many other researchers who have spent years studying the subject of vaccination and allow children to develop their own natural immunity.
Most people who vaccinate their children are not made aware what ingredients are contained in vaccines and even if they’re told, they may not fully understand what that particular ingredient is or what it means. People need to better understand & research what they are injecting into the bodies of thier loved ones. There are staggering number of people that report adverse reactions to vaccines. There are so many children who experience many of the same reactions to vaccines. It is very interesting that most of the adverse reactions fit into many of the side effects of many ingredients contained in vaccines. Please educate before you vaccinate! Don’t wait for something bad to happen before you begin researching vaccines.
