Vaccines shed 🚫💉🚨
Chicken Pox (Varivax) – Shedding (Section 5.4)
“Avoid close contact with high-risk individuals susceptible to varicella because of possible transmission of varicella vaccine virus. (5.3)”

Shingles (Zostavax} – Shedding (Section 5.2)
“Inform patient of the benefits and risks of ZOSTAVAX, including the potential risk of transmitting the
vaccine virus to susceptible individuals, such as immunosuppressed or immunodeficient individuals or
pregnant women who have not had chickenpox”

MMR Shedding (Page 5, Under Precaution)
“It is not known whether measles or mumps vaccine virus is secreted in human milk. Studies have
shown that lactating postpartum women vaccinated with live attenuated rubella vaccine may secrete the
virus in breast milk and transmit it to breast-fed infants”

But does that REALLY happen? Yes. Yes it can and does as these studies illustrate:

We don’t know for certain how long shedding occurs because we don’t test for it long term or regularly but in rare instances, it has gone on for years:

Additionally, the Dtap/Tdap that is NOT live vaccine has been shown by the FDA to cause the vaccinated to become asymptomatic carriers whenever exposed to the bacteria for both pertussis and diphtheria, thus spreading the illness without knowing
Pertussis carrier: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm376937.htm
Diphtheria carrier: http://www.cdc.gov/diphtheria/clinicians.html
You can also find that most medical facilities are aware of this. Johns Hopkins and St. Jude hospitals are just a few of many who post precautions for recently vaccinated visitors as pictured. Check out the chicken pox vaccine sign as well.

Vaccines spread disease.
Pertussis lives in the throats of the recently vaccinated, making them asymptomatic carriers who can (and do) spread the disease:
