Vaccinations Part 1

VACCINE GUIDE FOR DOGS & CATS what every pet lover should know by Catherine J. M. Diodati, MA                                                                 

Catherine J. M. Diodati, MA is a vaccine expert, legal consultant, and biochemical ethicist.  She began researching vaccines in 1985.

“Finally, an educational resource on the problems with ‘preventive ‘medicine!  Over the past twenty years the overall health of animals has deteriorated.  For example, dogs were much healthier prior to 1980.  We had problems with distemper and parvo before vaccines, but now we have the same problems plus many more, including autoimmune ailments, neurological afflictions, learning disorders, canine autism, rage syndrome, eye and skin disease, inflammatory joint problems, urinary tract infections, alopecia, anorexia, fatigue, and more.

 “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why drug companies deny vaccine reactions.  A special thanks to Catherine Diodati and all the vets who recognize that there are problems with preventative medicine.  This book will educate the public.  Hopefully, our cats will purr once more and our dogs will start wagging their tails again”

-Darla Lofranco, Professional Animal Breeder, 30 years

In many cases, the risks associated with vaccines are simply not warranted because the disease in question may be mild or virtually absent.  In other cases, the risk is not warranted because the vaccine in not effective.  Each animal should be assessed individually based upon health status, family medical history, environment, stress, and whether the disease in question will pose actual risk.

There are significant problems inherent to each vaccine type.  Frequently, either safety or efficacy is achieved, but not both.  There simply is no vaccine that is completely safe and effective regardless of the type used.

Vaccine

Comments

Parvovirus Type 2

Vaccine virus sheds.  Efficacy varies.  Immunity persists for five years.  Local, systemic and autoimmune reactions.  Post-vaccination vomiting and diarrhea are common.  The vaccine is immunosuppressive and may cause inflammatory bowel disease or autoimmune cardiomyopathy.  Administration with CDV vaccine may induce distemper.

Coronavirus Enteritis

Disease is rare, mild, and self-limiting.  Earlier vaccines were ineffective or extremely dangerous.  Newer vaccines cannot yet be accurately assessed.  The nature of the disease does not warrant vaccination.

Distemper                   

Vaccine efficacy is variable.  When effective, immunity may endure 3-5 years.  Avoid vaccination in conjunction with parvovirus infection, or with parvovirus or coronavirus vaccines.  Vaccine-induced infection, rash, encephalitis, and encephalomyelitis may occur following vaccination.  Vaccine virus shed in milk.

Infectious Canine Hepatitis

Infectious canine hepatitis is a rare disease.  Vaccines can cause ‘blue eye’ and, if administered with the distemper vaccine, encephalitis.

Kennel Cough

B. Bronchiseptica and Parinfluenza

A mild disease.  Viral shedding occurs longer for in infected vaccinated dogs than unvaccinated dogs.  Vaccines can cause respiratory illness and anaphylactic reactions.  Local reactions accompany parenteral (injectable) vaccines.  Inadvertent injection of intranasal vaccine can result in liver failure and tissue death.

Leptospirosis

Variable, serovar-specific, short-duration immunity.  Will not prevent infection or shedding.  Risk of anaphylaxis.

Lyme Disease

Vaccine induces lyme disease, autoimmune arthritis, seizures, and increases susceptibility to the natural disease.  Renders antibiotic treatment useless.

Rabies

Vaccine can induce disease as well as rabies miasm, tumors, lesions, paralysis, lameness, severe diarrhea, alopecia, skin problems, wasting, allergies, seizures, polyarthritis, ect.  Annual and triennial mandates are not supported by science.

****RABIES miasm chronic disease)

-Signs typically include hypersensitivity to noise, movement, extreme sensitivity to touch, unfriendly, confused and/or frightened behavior, hallucinating.

Catherine goes on to mention in her book that with any vaccine mandate there are legal provisions and exemptions that are available when a vaccine has had a prior reaction or the animal is experiencing any condition that could contraindicate further vaccination.  There are also provisions to avoid vaccinating animals demonstrating antibody titers.  If this information is not readily available from your veterinarian we as guardians need to take the initiative and contact local health departments.  She also notes that’ any animal that is ill, immunosuppressed, or otherwise stressed, not only has an increased risk of an adverse reaction but also cannot be expected to elicit a sufficient immune response to vaccination’ Merks Veterinary Manual.  If such animal is vaccinated this is not only dangerous and useless but also unjustified and represents malpractice.
