The Vaccination "Conspiracy"

The Vaccination “Conspiracy”

Conspiracy theories are the stuff of dreams–and of best sellers and blockbuster movies–whether or not they have any validity or make any sense. When an alleged conspiracy touches on Big Money interests, such as pharmaceutical giants, it can be certain it will be roundly ridiculed, viciously attacked, and never make it to the silver screen.

Now, there are conspiracies and there are conspiracies. That JFK was murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 23rd, 1963, that America landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, that terrorists attacked the WTC on September 11th, 2001, are all factual and verified events, notwithstanding the kooks out there who suggest otherwise and who still may get a contract to film their kookery.

Conspiracies suggesting that Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the Kennedys, that Jimmy Hoffa was buried in Giant Stadium, or that Britney Spears slept with all three of the Jonas Brothers may or may not be true but will never be proven one way or the other. At this point, who really cares?

One current, largely hushed “conspiracy,” if in fact there are conspiratorial forces behind it, relates to a matter which should concern every parent, particularly new parents. Older moms and dads need not sweat it since their kids were the lucky ones, goes this vaccination theory/conspiracy.

Not being a pharmochological expert, and as someone whose kids survived the various vaccines they were administered by pediatricians and by law, I can’t say that I have strong opinions or much knowledge on the matter. However, after reading a brief but pretty scary account of the vaccination theory/conspiracy, I must admit to serious concerns for my grandchildren.

While snooping around in my chiropractor son-in-law’s Boston office, I happened to come across a thin volume set out for patient perusal, Childhood Vaccination: Questions All Parents Should Ask, by Tedd Koren, D.C.

The effectiveness of chiropractic treatment is still dismissed by some despite being in existence for well over a hundred years. Its chief detractors are the AMA and anyone who has not had the experience of a chiropractic adjustment at the hands of a skilled practioner.

Trust me, it’s effectiveness in relieving pain caused by musculoskeletal disorders by far supasses pill-pushing AMA medicine men and women, unless the patient prefers drugs with a mind-numbing load of side effects to cloak rather than alleviate that pain.

If you haven’t had a chiropractic adjustment, just go sit in a corner, pop an oxycontin, and be patient til the next spasm occurs.

Dr. Koren maintains a website at http://www.teddkorenseminars.com/ but it’s not my intent to do his advertising. If he’s simply touting the benefits of chiropractic treatment over more traditional medicine, then I concede he does some great touting.

My intent is to outline some of his ideas as expressed in Childhood Vaccinations. Many of those well-researched ideas will be chilling to new parents.

And, lest the reader believes Koren is a lone Don Quixote . . .
