Vaccines Protect. Vaccines Damage. Which Is True?

Vaccines – which protect against disease by inducing immunity – are widely and routinely administered around the world, based on the common-sense principle prevention is better than treatment. (Source: WHO)

ALL the Vaccines Are Contaminated – Every Last One of Them. (Source: Educate Yourself)

“Educate before you vaccinate” is what those against vaccinates tell you. So I am trying to educate myself:

The World Health Organization (WHO) explains: 

Vaccines typically provide the immune system with harmless copies of an antigen: a portion of the surface of a bacterium or virus that the immune system recognizes as foreign (an antigen often plays a role in causing disease – for example by enabling a virus or bacterium to attach to cells). A vaccine may also provide a non-active version of a toxin – a poison produced by a bacterium – so that the body can devise a defence against it.

Once the immune system detects an antigen, white blood cells called B-lymphocytes create a protein called an antibody that is precisely designed to attach to that antigen. Many copies of this antibody are produced. If a true infection with the same disease occurs, still more antibodies are created, and as they attach to their targets they may block the activity of the virus or bacterial strain directly, thus combating infection. In addition, antibodies, once in place, make it much easier for other components of the immune system (particularly phagocytes) to recognize and destroy the invading agent.

Immune systems are designed to remember; once exposed to a particular bacterium or virus, they retain immunity against it for years, decades, or even a lifetime. So they are prepared to defeat a later infection quickly. A body encountering a germ for the first time may need 7–12 days to mount an effective defence, by which point serious illness and even death can occur. It is therefore hugely beneficial to use the immune system’s “memory” of a bacterium or virus to quickly and effectively defeat it.

All vaccines used for routine immunization are very effective in preventing disease, although none is 100% effective. Thus, more than one dose of a vaccine is usually given to increase the chance of developing immunity.

Whereas Educate Yourself explains: 

“The chief, if not the sole, cause of the monstrous increase in cancer has been vaccination” – Dr. Robert Bell, once Vice President International Society for Cancer Research at the British Cancer Hospital.

Who is saying the vaccines are contaminated?

None other than the (now deceased) head of vaccines at Merck, Dr. Maurice Hillerman, who on camera admitted that Merck’s Hepatitis B vaccines, contaminated with a virus, caused the AIDS epidemic in the US.  He went on to say that all of Merck’s vaccines are contaminated with cancer and other viruses.  (The US government has conceded the HEB B vaccine causes Lupus. That vaccine is mandated for every infant in the US on the day of birth, and is associated with MS as well.)
