Exposure to Common Chemicals May Weaken Vaccine Response

Note, the article begins by validating the dangers of environmental toxins, particularly their threat to our immune system. Then they cite the EPA’s pathetic policy (reminiscent of the fluoride disinfo discussed in the new Dot Connector magazine) and the TCSA’s token effort. So far, so good.
And they conclude by citing some concerning implications of this study regarding immune health, autoimmune disease, cancer and diabetes. Absolutely.
But right in the middle comes this jewel of medical (b)advice:
“For children who may have been exposed to enough PFCs to affect their immune system, Grandjean says there is a simple solution — get re-vaccinated."
As if mercury wasn't the king of environmental toxins!! This nearly rivals the treachery of the CDC's recent recommendation concerning breast-fed infants (see below)

A study [conducted by Dr. Philippe Grandjean, chair of environmental medicine at the University of Southern Denmark] published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggests that perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are commonly used in Teflon coatings in pots and pans as well as in furniture, stain-resistant carpeting, rain gear and microwave popcorn bags, may hinder children’s ability to mount proper immune responses after they are vaccinated. The findings suggest that important gains made by immunization programs in the past century may be eroded by the emergence of these environmental chemicals.
…
In certain parts of the U.S., including West Virginia and Ohio, water pollution from decades of industrial waste has also led to unhealthy levels of PFCs in drinking water, meaning that residents may still be harboring the chemical from earlier exposures.
Avoiding the chemicals can be difficult, if not impossible. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently does not require companies to test for PFCs in industrial waste, noting that “to date, significant adverse effects have not been found in the general human population.” However, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TCSA) the agency in 2002 limited the future manufacture and import of certain types of PFCs known as perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAs), citing concerns that “these chemical substances may be hazardous to human health and the environment.”
For children who may have been exposed to enough PFCs to affect their immune system, Grandjean says there is a simple solution — get re-vaccinated.
…if the immune system is compromised enough to respond more sluggishly to vaccines, then what does that mean for its ability to fend off other pathogens, like the common cold virus and influenza?
…is it possible that exposure to environmental chemicals plays a role in autoimmune diseases or conditions like type I diabetes and cancer that may in part be due to dysfunction of the immune system?
Ten researchers from the CDC's National Centers for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD) released the ridiculous paper, entitled Inhibitory effect of breast milk on infectivity of live oral rotavirus vaccines
Since breastmilk (packed with immune-building immunoglobulin A (IgA), lactoferrin, lysozyme, and various other important immune factors) inhibits vaccines from working, nursing mothers should withhold breastmilk for a few days [i.e. starve] from their babies prior to having them vaccinated.
In other words, rather than remove vaccines so that breastmilk can do its job, women should instead remove the breastmilk to allow vaccines to do their job!
