The link above is to a 2004 review article by Russell Blaylock, former brain surgeon, with 55 references to research studies on the harmful effects of vaccines. Remember this review paper came out in 2004. Now in 2015 there is a larger peer review article literature on the recent science on the harmful effects of vaccines.

"A study on primary immunization of 239 premature infants with gestational ages of less than 35 weeks by M. Pourcyrous et al. (Journal of Pediatrics, 2007) [23] was conducted to determine the incidence of cardio-respiratory events and abnormal C-Reaction Protein (CRP) elevations associated with administration of a single vaccine or multiple vaccines simultaneously at or about two months of age. The vaccines given were: DTaP (Infanrix), Hib (ActHIB), HBV (Engerix-B), IPV (Inactivated-IPOL™), and PCV7 (Prevnar).
CRP is a standard blood test indicator for body inflammation, which in the present study would represent brain inflammation. CRP levels and cardio-respiratory manifestations were monitored for three days following immunizations in a neonatal intensive care unit sponsored by the University of Tennessee. Elevations of CRP levels occurred in 70 percent of the infants administered single vaccines and in 85 percent of those administered multiple vaccines, 43 percent of which reached abnormal levels.
As the Pourcyrous study noted,
A plausible explanation for variation in the magnitude of CRP responses to immunization may be attributed to viral versus bacterial antigenic stimulation, minor variability in the quantity of antigens in different vaccine lots, the multiple antigenic component of a vaccine, the presence and the quantity of aluminum adjuvant, genetic polymorphism or to decrease immunologic responses in some preterm infants. [24]
Overall, 16 percent of infants had potentially lethal vaccine-associated cardio-respiratory events with episodes of apnea (cessation of breathing) and/or bradycardia (abnormal slowing of the pulse). Intraventricular (brain) hemorrhages occurred in 17 percent of those receiving single vaccines and in 24 percent of those receiving multiple vaccines."
Vaccines are produced and promoted by the giant pharmaceutical corporations and promoted by doctors, and the sale of vaccines is a huge part of the medical industry.
And - just as some antibiotics have worked to treat some infectious diseases, and then this success for some infectious diseases is used as propaganda to promote ineffective and sometimes harmful medical practices, so the 19th century science on vaccination and claimed success in preventing some infectious diseases is used as propaganda to promote all vaccines.
In law there is a standard statement - "assumes evidence not in view." In order to show that vaccines prevent disease sophisticated research designs need to be carried out to control for "confounding" variables, such as better hygeine at the time vaccines were thought to be successful in preventing some infectious diseases in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Medical doctors are not trained in science or in the design and analysis of research, though a very few become interested and are able to learn that skill.
Remember that doctors may claim that their drugs are the reason why people got over infectious diseases when in fact the body is able to heal itself. The problem is that the procedures of medical doctors in relying only on drugs and surgery often rule out that which does improve the immune system and heal the body - certain nutrients, stress reduction, a positive attitude, sleep and exercise.
There is a body of hard science developing in the last decade or so which has relevance to how to help the body heal itself.
What might be called "hard science" of human genetics in recent years dealing with the factors determining Chromosome Telomere Length, theoretically an indicator of lifespan. Prescription drugs and surgery - generally - as factors in Telemere length is not part of the science of Telemere Length determination. Elizabeth Blackburn was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, sharing it with Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak for their pioneering work on factors contributing to Telemere Length.
The issue of whether vaccines, as they now exist, are able to increase the health of people, or are more harmful than helpful in promoting health is an interesting and important part of the issue of whether there is real evidence or not for the health benefits of allopathic medicine. Would not the old legal argument "assumes facts not in evidence" apply to the claim that vaccines now in 2015 as the vaccines exist actually improve the overall health of a community?
