IN September 1991, I happened by chance to come across an article entitled, Vaccination - The Hidden Facts, featured in the London Evening Standard weekly magazine, ES.

Prior to reading this, I had always thought, like so many, that vaccination was safe, effective and without question.

Both my young daughters had received the recommended vaccines, which fortunately were very few at that time. However, one was due her MMR that month, and so I read the article with great interest.

Alarm bells went off, and by the time I had finished the article I was thirsty to know more. What was the true cause of the decline in diseases, what were the vaccine ingredients and the potential problems of injecting them into the body?

What number of vaccine injuries and deaths were happening, and why were they rarely talked about? The article asked at the end to, 'send a self-addressed envelope for a suggested reading list', and so I did. This started me on a new understanding of health and disease for the next 32 years.

I was never one for just reading and believing one view, and when the list of suggested book titles arrived, I found myself ordering each one and reading them thoroughly. I felt rather isolated with my new and evolving view of the subject, and over the next year I gradually connected with other mothers who had similar concerns.

Two of the mothers had had home births and it was actually their midwives who had encouraged them to look into the subject. They both chose to decline any vaccines for their babies. Another mother, who had been a health journalist prior to becoming a mum, had also investigated the subject before her children were born, and they also remained unvaccinated.
