How vaccine studies are seriously
flawed.
{“Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine Ready for Launch,” mercola.com - Sept.
2003} Author's note: *A video and
cassette is offered on Dr. Tenpenny's Web site.
There are no medical
studies proving the safety of combination vaccines.
A two-month old baby
can get the same amount of vaccine as a fifty-pound child entering
kindergarten. Some of the trials are made on children more than
14-months old - but then extended to those who were 2-months old
without adequate toxicity tests being done. Allergic children
react more strongly to vaccinations and vaccines seem to heighten
existing allergic sensitivities.
The cost-benefit
ratio cited has not included the cost of those seriously injured
or killed from vaccines. Parents should have freedom of choice, as
they are the ones who will have to assume the care of the
vaccine-damaged children.
Routine chicken pox
vaccinations (good for 6-10 years) in healthy children may leave
them vulnerable to this disease when they are adults, when the
death rate can be quite high.
{“How safe are vaccinations?” by Kristine M. Severyn RPh, PhD,
founder and director of the Vaccine Policy Institute, Catholic
Twin Circle, June/July 1997}
The chicken pox
vaccination is a relatively new vaccine and it has not been
adequately tested for side effects. This is a live vaccine and
should not be given to pregnant women or those who may be
pregnant, and some experts warn that the live virus in the vaccine
could reemerge later in the form of ‘shingles.’ Evidence has
linked this vaccine to neurological disorders. Keep a good record
of your shots so you won't have to repeat them unnecessarily.
{“Shots in the Dark,” Natural Health article, Nov./Dec. 1999}
From "Injecting
Some Perspective,” the Washington Post Health, Dec. 5, 2000:
According to the National Vaccine
Information Center:
- JAMA study this year reported a
4% rate of serious side effects ranging from anaphylaxis
(severe allergic shock) to death after receiving the chicken
pox vaccine.
- In 1998, a Scottish researcher
found 8 of 12 previously healthy children developed stomach
problems and autistic behavior after receiving the MMR
vaccine.
- Other studies showed that
vaccines increase diabetes in children, and other studies show
a link to the presence of mercury in thimerosol (a
preservative in many childhood vaccines) with neurological
problems. Parents can request vaccines without thimerosol.
- In the years between 1990 and
1998 there were 73 deaths in children under 14, and 2,424
reported side effects from hepatitis B vaccine. Study suggests
that rheumatoid arthritis can be one of the side effects of a
hepatitis B vaccination. We are reminded that side effects are
not only underreported but that drug studies only monitored
children for four to five days which is an inefficient time to
detect autoimmune diseases that can be a side effect.
- Most vaccine trials don't
include sick children and no evidence exists that show it is
safe to vaccinate even mildly ill children. However, the CDC
says mild childhood illness doesn't compromise vaccine safety
or effectiveness and it encourages parents not to let mild
illness cause them to fall behind on scheduled vaccinations
and risk serious disease.
- It concedes that the DTaP, which
replaced the old DPT vaccine in 1996 causes fewer side
effects.
We are wise to be
nervous about the safety of the shots that are so casually given
to children. Some of the evidence that has been published in the
peer-reviewed literature indicates that the shots for the usual
childhood diseases are neither safe nor effective. There is good
evidence that the shots actually impair the immune system. The
shots tie up a large part of the body’s immune function, and there
is little left to fight the usual cold or flu.
In 1993, Cincinnati
witnessed an epidemic of whooping cough and 400 children caught
it. Eighty percent of them had been immunized.
Health authorities
credit vaccines for disease declines, and assure us of their
safety and effectiveness. Yet these seemingly rock-solid
assumptions are directly contradicted by government statistics,
medical studies, FDA and CDC reports, as well as reputable
research scientists from around the world. In fact, infectious
diseases declined steadily for decades prior to vaccinations.
The pneumonia
vaccine physicians routinely recommend for all seniors does not
reduce the overall risk of the disease, scientists at Group Health
Cooperative and their colleagues have found.
{“Vaccine insufficient for the elderly, study says,” PROVE
newsletter, May 1, 2003}
‘Cot death’ is a
convenient explanation for the mortality from vaccinations. The
incidence and mortality from whooping cough fell steadily between
1922 and 1975. In 1978, a nationwide vaccinations initiative was
begun. The incidence of pertussis tripled, especially in the age
group below six months. We know today with a 98% vaccinations
status due to forced vaccination, epidemics of measles still occur
at three- to four-year intervals, uninfluenced and unabated by
vaccination. This means that the vaccination against measles is
totally ineffective.
The following is a
summary from medical papers dealing with vaccination:
Vaccines are
highly noxious substances made up of bacterial or viral
components in a solvent. The enormous upsurge in incidence of
leukemia and cancer in children since the introduction and mass
use of vaccines is well-documented in the medical literature.
Vaccines are ineffective in preventing infectious diseases and
there is growing evidence that measles in the vaccinated
children can often be a much more serious illness than in the
unvaccinated. Vaccines, like other noxious substances, do not
immunize when injected into the blood stream, rather they
sensitize {taken from the Lancet). The upsurge of allergies in
children in the past 50 years is the result of repeated multiple
injections of foreign antigens in vaccines. Asthma and other
autoimmune diseases are another widespread side effect of
vaccinations. Vaccine injections represent an enormous and
unjustified insult to a young child.
Moreover,
introducing vaccines into the circulation gives them direct
access to the major immune organs and tissues without any
obvious way to get rid of them. Various elements in the vaccines
can stay in the body for long periods of time, some of them
permanently, often by incorporating themselves into the genetic
material of the hosts’ cells. This provokes a constant effort to
expel these foreign substances, leading to a systematic
weakening of the immune system. Constant antigenic stimulation
of the immune system leads to cancer and a host of other
autoimmune diseases. Flu vaccines not only do not prevent
influenza outbreaks, they introduce serious and deadly reactions
like the Guillain-Barre syndrome and the Legionnaire’s disease.
The natural polio
virus produces no symptoms at all in over 90% of the people who
are exposed to it, even under epidemic conditions. The number of
reported cases of polio following mass inoculations with the
killed virus was significantly greater than before mass
inoculations. Even Dr. Salk himself was quoted as saying: “When
you inoculate children with a polio vaccine you don't sleep well
for two or three weeks.” However, the U.S. Public Health Service
was coerced into signing a false proclamation that the polio
vaccine was safe and 100% effective.
The National Vaccine
Information Center (NVIC) is an advocacy group in Vienna, VA. NVIC
president Barbara Loe Fisher believes her son’s learning
disabilities stem from a severe vaccine reaction. She says that
there is not enough research into possible links between vaccines
and developmental disorders and chronic disease, nor do parents
receive enough information about the potential risks. She worries
that bombarding children’s immune system with more and more
inoculations could be dangerous.
U.S. doctors report
thousands of serious vaccine reactions each year, including
hundreds of deaths and permanent disabilities (the FDA estimates
that only about 10% of the adverse reactions are reported), fully
vaccinated populations have experienced epidemics, and researchers
attribute dozens of chronic immunological and neurological
conditions to mass vaccinations programs.
Author's comment: “I urge caution when discussing this
subject with doctors, as most have staked their identities and
reputations on the presumed safety and effectiveness of vaccines,
and thus have difficulty acknowledging evidence to the contrary.”
The incidences of
asthma, autism and autoimmune diseases have increased since these
shots have become so common. We can blame diet and pollution, but
the shots seem to play a role as well. Dr. Smith wrote that he
used to advocate vaccines when he first went into practice in
1951, but noted that many of his patients were still getting the
diseases after being fully immunized. He now feels that the best
approach is to provide children with optimal immune systems.
Vitamin C, A, and E, phytochemicals, and other antioxidants help
the immune system fight off diseases naturally.
{Let’s Live magazine - March 1998 - “Should We Use Vaccines?”
Lendon Smith, MD}
In Sept. 1999, at
the First International Public Conference on Vaccination,
sponsored by the NVIC, scientists describe how childhood
vaccination can provoke genetic and chromosome damage, as well as
the connection between vaccines, infant death, and learning
disabilities.
{“Fitness On Line” - Nov. 1999 Natural Health magazine}
Researchers report
in the American Journal of Epidemiology, that children die at a
rate eight times greater than average within 3 days of getting a
DPT shot.
{“Vaccination: Prevention or Poison?” Delicious magazine, Sept.
1994, by Kathleen Finn}
In childhood
vaccines there are many extremely toxic substances with a long
history of documented hazardous effects - some can lead to cancer,
neurological damage and death. Researchers say that this
biological matter that is injected into our bodies can change our
genetic makeup.
Childhood
vaccinations cause various types of mental retardation ranging
from a slight drop in I.Q. to total idiocy; they also generate
dyslexia and other reading disabilities. It is no coincidence,
therefore when the 1945 generation took the examinations in 1963
for entry into college or into the army, they gave notice of an
incipient decline in the American intelligence. And since the
tests themselves have become easier, other researchers conclude
that the I.Q. decline is 50% worse.
Mass vaccination for
smallpox was discontinued in the U.S., as much because the vaccine
caused brain damage and death as because the disease had virtually
disappeared. Since a repeal of the draft in 1970, mandatory
vaccination remains the only law that requires a citizen to risk
his life for his country.
Medical researchers
have estimated that in the U.S. alone, thousands of babies die
every year from vaccinations, and hundreds of thousands suffer
severe injuries, including seizures, comas, paralysis, apnea and
permanent brain damage. It is incredibly misleading for doctors to
inform parents that vaccinations present "little or no risk" to
their children. Even the manufacturer’s product insert gives many
of these dire warnings! Doctors frighten their patients with
unlikely possibilities of disease, yet fail to warn of the dangers
of the vaccine.
Vaccines can trigger
immune system suppression say clinical researchers who study
illness patterns preceding and following vaccination. Vaccines are
destroying our immune systems. In response to tetanus vaccine
seven of ten individuals became more susceptible to HIV infection,
and HIV viral replication increased dramatically in response to
this vaccine. The view of the American Academy of Pediatrics is
that if this information is given to parents it might alarm or
confuse them, and others say that to inform the public about the
adverse effects would hinder vaccine campaigns. An uninformed
patient is compliant. This cover-up is reminiscent of the tobacco
industry’s denial and misinformation campaign about the dangers of
cigarettes. Hugh profits are at stake and vaccine manufacturers
cannot afford to have their product maligned in a public forum. In
every polio epidemic since 1909, DPT injections have caused the
onset of polio disease. The DPT vaccine suppresses the body’s
ability to fight off the polio virus.
The Lancet, the Los
Angeles Mirror, and Time magazine, reported that the polio
epidemic of 1945 to 1954 may have been the result of the
widespread DPT vaccinations.
{“Vaccinations - Deception and Tragedy” - Michael Dye}
In his book,
“Vaccinations; an Informed Choice,” Dr. Daniel Lander states,
“There is no doubt in my mind that immunizing children at two to
six months of age is the largest cause of upper respiratory
infections, allergies and ear infections.”
Some adult
vaccinations have been associated with chronic health problems,
such as multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other
autoimmune disorders, while other vaccines have been known, in
rare cases, to actually trigger the diseases they are meant to
prevent. The CDC says the benefits of vaccinations far outweigh
the risks, but anti-vaccine advocates say there hasn't been enough
research and, unless you are at high risk for an infectious
disease, there is no reason to put your health in jeopardy by
getting unnecessary vaccinations.
Richard Moskowitz,
MD - “For us to bombard a newborn baby with a whole battery of
vaccines as their very first immunological experience I think is
reckless beyond measure. I would say it borders on the criminal.
Because of my experiences in medical practice, I am sensing and
fearing that by making war on specific, acute diseases, we're
promoting the incidence of chronic diseases in the population. I
call vaccines a sacrament because we don't question their use.
Vaccines should be optional for anybody who wants them: those that
do, as well as those that don't, should be studied for
information.”
What we have done by
artificial vaccinations is essentially to trade off our acute,
epidemic diseases of the past century for the weaker and far less
curable chronic diseases of the present, with their amortizable
suffering and disability.
{Health Freedom News - May 1984. “How Do The Vaccines Work?”
Richard Moskowitz, MD}
The rate of chronic
illness in children has tripled since 1960, possibly due to the
overuse of childhood vaccinations. It is healthier for the child
to undergo an acute respiratory infection, with appropriate herbal
and homeopathic support, than to suppress or preempt it with
antibiotics and vaccinations.
{“Supporting Children’s Health” - Philip Incao, MD, Alternative
Medicine Digest, Aug./Sept. 1997}
According to an
article in The Lancet (1985), “Measles Virus Infection Without
Rash in Childhood is Related to Disease in Adult Life,” warned
that when the measles vaccine prevents the spots and fever from
occurring, the measles virus is not destroyed, and can stay in the
body throughout adulthood. Because of this, people who did not
develop adequate measles rash as a child were found to be more
likely to develop degenerative and immuno-reactive diseases.
Leon Chaitow in his
book, “Vaccinations and Vaccinations: Dangers Delusions and
Alternatives,” says that there is strong evidence to link vaccines
with allergies. For example, those adults receiving flu
vaccinations have shown a worsening of allergic symptoms (in one
survey this occurred in 6 out of 7 people who were immunized), as
well as a worsening of other symptoms. Chaitow also explains the
“Provocation” Disease, in which a vaccination against one disease
leaves the body more susceptible to another disease. This occurs
when there is a latent or incubating infection already present.
Vaccination, by
introducing viruses directly into the blood stream, does not
prevent disease but actually pushes the disease into a chronic
form and deeper into the body where it attacks vital organs. The
result is cancer and other auto-immune and chronic diseases.
The destructive
effects of vaccines on the immune system can persist over an
extended period of time. A study in the Journal of Infectious
Diseases documented a long-term depressive effect on interferon
production caused by the measles vaccine - interferon renders the
host resistant to infection. Vaccination of one-year-old infants
with measles vaccine showed a decline in immunity for one year
following the vaccination. Some investigators are concerned that
vaccines could be disabling our body’s ability to react normally
to disease, and creating the climate for autoimmune
self-destruction. The Institute of Medicine established a Vaccine
Safety Committee to report adverse events associated with
vaccinations, but the criteria was most rigid and most adverse
effects were dismissed as ‘coincidental.
The CDC advises
women of childbearing age to get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
vaccination, since contracting rubella during the first three
months of pregnancy will put the fetus at risk of serious birth
defects. However, because it is a live vaccine, and could possibly
cause the disease it was intended to prevent, it should never be
given during pregnancy or to women who are trying to conceive - or
those who might already be pregnant. There should be a 3-month
waiting time after the shot before conception. A number of measles
outbreaks have been documented in populations that were completely
vaccinated, and studies have linked the MMR vaccine to an array of
chronic disorders.
An association
between asthma and vaccination, as well as studies showing a
connection between vaccines and diabetes and autism have sounded
alarms among consumers. If vaccines are capable of causing such
long-range problems, then perhaps our strategies for disease
prevention require evaluation. Perhaps these chronic diseases are
the result of the repeated assault on the infant’s immature immune
system from the vaccines. Some parents are forming advocacy groups
and confronting what they see as coercive medical laws that force
vaccinations on their children, vaccines that may be dangerous or
unnecessary.
The vaccine industry
and medical textbooks inform us that vaccination is the greatest
miracle of preventive medicine, but we perhaps have exchanged
acute childhood illnesses for lifelong, chronic damage to the
immune system. Authorities usually claim that any onset of
symptoms after a vaccination is pure coincidence. There is an
illusion of the effectiveness of the vaccines, and criteria have
been drastically altered and manipulated so that it appears the
numbers are fewer. The fact that a disease has declined in the
population is not proof that the vaccine works, for often the
disease was already on the decline before the introduction of the
vaccine. Only 10% of whooping cough cases were ever diagnosed
after the vaccine became widely distributed, so it appeared that
the vaccine was effective.
Recent studies have
shown that vaccinations may be at the root of the population’s
alarmingly increased autism, ADHD and developmental delays, asthma
and eczema. Now new studies have made a connection between
increased vaccination and rheumatic disease, Lupus Erythematosus
and allergies.
{“Vaccines: Cure or Dangerous Medicine?” Spectrum - May/June 2000}
Vaccine production
is a disgusting procedure. To begin, one must first acquire the
disease germ - a toxic bacterium or a live virus. To make a live
vaccine, the virus must have been weakened for human use. This is
accomplished by serial passage - passing the virus through animal
tissue several times to reduce its potency. For example, measles
virus is passed through chick embryos, polio through monkey
kidneys, and the rubella virus through human diploid cells (the
dissected organs of an aborted fetus!). Killed vaccines are
inactivated through heat, radiation, or chemicals.
A vaccine is made by
acquiring the original disease germ (such as polio, diphtheria,
measles, etc.) and then weakening it for human use. The germ is
then weakened by a process known as ‘serial passage,’ which
involves passing the disease germ or virus through animal tissue,
or the aborted tissue of a human, several times to reduce its
potency. For example, the germ that creates the measles virus is
passed through chick embryos; the polio virus through monkey
kidneys; and the rubella virus is injected into the dissected
organs of an aborted human fetus. To make the diphtheria vaccine,
diphtheria serum is injected into the jugular vein of a horse over
a six-month period. When the horse is sufficiently ill from
diphtheria, a large amount of blood is withdrawn from the horse to
make diphtheria vaccine. The weakened germ is then mixed with
antibody boosters, stabilizers, drugs, antibiotics and toxic
disinfectants. In addition these formulas have been found to be
contaminated with animal viruses and foreign genetic material.
Many examples given of those who have been vaccinated having the
disease.
The diphtheria,
tetanus, and pertussis vaccines are generally combined in a single
formula (DPT). Both the diphtheria and tetanus vaccines are
‘stabilized’ using formaldehyde - a known carcinogen. Each dose of
DPT also contains mercury and aluminum - both toxic to humans.
The FDA recently
reported that 90% of the doctors do not report vaccine reactions.
In the 7 years from 1990 to 1997 more than $802 million had been
awarded for hundreds of injuries and deaths caused by mandated
vaccines. Thousands of cases are still pending, but for the
majority of claimants there is no money available.
The name “Hot lots”
is given when particular ‘lots’ of vaccines are toxic (defined by
10 reports of illness, or two reports of seizures, or two reports
of death), and if it is ‘hot’ then it is supposed to be withdrawn
from the market. The problems of removal are because many doctors
do not report reactions or keep a record of the manufacturer’s
name nor lot and batch number of the vaccines they purchase and
deliver. Other ‘lots’ drawn from a defective batch cannot easily
be found. This book not only gives examples of how minimizing the
dangers of serious reactions by officials has resulted in injury
and death to children, but also the added risks of vaccines when
there is a lack of proper temperature control.
The FDA estimates
that less than 10% of physicians report vaccine adverse reactions,
so when parents are told that the benefits of vaccines outweigh
the risks, no one knows what the true risks are.
Because 90% of the
doctors do not file reports of adverse reactions to vaccines as
required by law, the statistics do not accurately reflect the
damage being done by vaccines. Added to this we have the
government down-playing the damage and exaggerating the benefits.
After vaccines were introduced, the definition of a disease and
the length of time of the symptoms were changed.
In the U.C.L.A. -
FDA SIDS study in 1981, only those children who died within 48
hours after a vaccination were counted, even though they became
ill immediately after the shot. Also infants whose reactions
included convulsions and collapse were excluded because their
reactions were not severe enough.
The practice of
redefining a disease when it is contracted by an immunized person
is not new - if a person who has been vaccinated contracts the
disease, then the disease is simply recorded under a different
name. Doctors often justify their refusal to report vaccine
reactions by merely claiming the shot had nothing to do with the
child’s injury or death, and medically trained coroners rarely
list the cause of death as being from vaccination.
In 1998 France
became the first country to end hepatitis B vaccination
requirements for schoolchildren after numerous reports of chronic
arthritis, symptoms resembling multiple sclerosis, and other
serious health problems following the hepatitis B vaccination. The
rotavirus vaccine was licensed for use in children to combat viral
diarrhea but was taken off the market in less than a year because
of reports that as many as 99 infants developed a life-threatening
bowel obstruction after receiving the vaccine - two of these
babies died.
The West Germans and
several other countries have made vaccinations optional, and no
epidemics have occurred. Vaccinations essentially suppress the
immune system.
{The Vaccination Debate - “Modern Miracle or Time Bomb?” Natural
Health - Nov./Dec. 1997}
The connection
between the AIDS epidemic and smallpox and polio vaccination has
been well established. All countries with intensive or mandatory
vaccination of infants experienced a 400% increase in the
incidence of cerebral palsy in the last 50 years (where the
problem was not diagnosed at birth).
Vaccination is the
single biggest cause of ‘cot death.’ When Japan moved the
vaccination age up to two years, cot deaths, following DPT
injections, disappeared in that country. Japan zoomed to having
the lowest incidence of infant mortality in the world. When
approaching pediatricians with the research, the author was
shocked to find that they did not want to hear anything negative
about children’ vaccinations. Vaccinations are one of their
primary sources of revenue.
Even in 1969, a
group of Swiss doctors questioned the use of trying to suppress
fever instead of recognizing its importance in the healing
process.
At least seven
childhood vaccinations are legally required - and more on the way
if the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has its way - for
admission to school, which assures drug manufacturers a stable,
ready-made market. There is also a tremendous market for yearly
flu vaccines. Often when vaccine experts leave the government they
either go to a related medical field or go to work for a
pharmaceutical manufacturer.
“Take all the profit
out of manufacturing and administration of serums and vaccines and
they soon would be condemned, even by those who are now using
them.”
{Dr. George S. White, MD - World Wide Web}
When the use of
certain products is shown to greatly increase a disease, those who
stand to profit from these will discredit valid scientific
research. An example of this is the case of a Dr. Benjamin Sandler
who, in 1948, detailed a connection between polio and an excessive
amount of sugars and starches, which leach calcium from the body.
He found that a serious calcium deficiency preceded polio.
Responding to the warnings through newspapers and radio, North
Carolinians reduced their sugar intake by 90%, and the N.C. Health
Department reported a decrease in polio by the same percentage
during 1949. However, the Coca Cola and the Rockefeller Milk
Trust, whose sales were plummeting, combined forces and convinced
the people that Sandler’s findings were a myth and the polio
figures a fluke. By the summer of 1950 sales were back to normal
and the polio cases were back to normal!
Vaccines are big
business for revenues from vaccines and total more than $1 billion
in the U.S., and 3 billion worldwide. This figure will increase in
the next few years. To ensure continuing profits, vaccine
manufacturers conduct their own research, pay for ad campaigns
encouraging parents to get the shots, and foot the bill for state
legislation to mandate each vaccine for every child in America.
Drug companies enjoy a guaranteed market for their product, and in
many states parents are threatened with imprisonment or removal of
their child from their home if they refuse to vaccinate. Doctors
employed by drug companies also advise government recommendation
panels, and the same physicians who write position papers for the
American Academy of Pediatrics are also paid consultants for
vaccine manufacturers. Your pediatrician is not allowed to
question vaccine utilization. Liability issues, boards of medical
examiners and the policies of HMO's govern the doctor’s
recommendations. Step outside this set of rules and they risk
their jobs or licensing.
Economic interests
have spurred the adoption of a chickenpox vaccine, not our concern
for the well-being of our children. The most frequently stated
purpose of the chickenpox vaccine is not to protect children from
this benign childhood illness but to keep parent at their jobs
rather than missing a few days of work to care for a sick child at
home.
The drug companies
are protected from legal action. The zealous rush to bring new
vaccines to the market, heedless of the damage inflicted in the
name of prevention, can set the stage for the unwitting
destruction of our population’s health, a result that may continue
to remain a hidden cause of widespread immune system failure and
autoimmune disease.
{“Do Vaccines Disable the Immune System?” Randall Neustaedter, OMD,
1996}
“Political
immunology” is the practice of applying political pressure through
the press and other media for political ends, sometimes with
incomplete and distorted versions of medical facts, often
discrediting anyone who questions the safety of the vaccine. These
political immunologists are quick to minimize the problem and
convince the general public that things would be much worse
without the mandatory mass vaccination program. If a doctor openly
disagrees with medical procedures, he then risks being ostracized
by his colleagues. Editors tend to print pro-vaccine articles in
medical journals, which can only be challenged in letters - they
will not print anti-vaccine articles.
However, mothers are
getting smarter and scare tactics are not convincing them that the
vaccines are safe. Parents must evaluate the role they play in
allowing doctors to inject their children with a vaccine about
which so very little is known, and permitting elected
representatives to pass laws that require it.
A statement by
Clinton Miller (given in testimony before the House of
Representatives): "A mass vaccination program carries a built in
temptation to oversimplify the problem, to exaggerate the
benefits, to minimize or completely ignore the hazards, to
discourage opposition, to create an urgency where none exists, and
to continue support of a vaccine long after it has been
discredited."
{“Why Vaccination Persists” - Nov. 1999 - World Wide Web}
Fear and
intimidation are powerful weapons to make parents submit to this
barbaric, unscientific and totally unnecessary procedure. Parents
must realize that illness is good for the health and development
of children, and they must allocate the time and patience to allow
the infectious diseases to take their natural course. Above all,
parents have the moral and legal obligations to ensure health, and
their loyalty should be to these children - not with their peers
or the medical system.
{“Vaccination - 100 Years of Orthodox Research shows that Vaccines
Represent a Medical Assault on the Immune System,” by Viera
Scheibner, PhD}
Some authorities
argue that parents should vaccinate their children to protect
society as a whole from epidemics. But if the vaccinations offered
true immunity only the unvaccinated would become ill. Our medical
policy-makers have lobbied for laws against freedom of choice, and
they have had a pattern of coercion and denial - and sadly many
parents pay for this with the health or life of their own child.
The family and society are both victims of vaccination programs
forced on them by state legislatures that are too responsive to
medical opinion and medical organizations. Even TV and radio are
now encouraging adults to get vaccinated!
Society’s increasing
production of neurological defectives has caused a remarkable
upsurge in crime. (Examples are given connecting problems to the
1965 vaccination program making it obligatory) What kind of
‘science’ is it that inflicts neurological damage on several
hundred thousand children a year?
The first corrective
measure, which should be taken at once, is to suspend all
childhood vaccinations pending an investigation of their true
impact on the public health. When and if these programs are
resumed, the ‘shots’ should be voluntary, not compulsory.
{“Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality, The Medical
Assault on the Brain.” by Harris Coulter}
Teachers complain
that nearly all of their students are cognitively inferior and
have shorter attention spans when compared to the kids they taught
in the 60’s. In an attempt to please the school administrators,
who are often blamed for declining scores, test makers have been
‘dumbing down’ their tests since the 60's.
The medical
establishment and government officials credit vaccines for a
decline in disease, yet are directly contradicted by government
statistics, medical studies, the FDA and CDC (Center for Disease
Control) reports, as well as reputable research scientists from
around the world.
According to the
National Vaccine Information Center; infectious diseases declined
steadily for decades prior to vaccinations, U.S. doctors report
thousands of vaccine reactions each year, including hundreds of
deaths and permanent disabilities, fully vaccinated populations
have experienced epidemics, and researchers attribute dozens of
chronic immunological and neurological conditions to mass
vaccination programs.
The documented truth
is that the incidence of, and mortality from, any infectious
disease which decimated populations in Europe only some 100 years
ago declined by 90% before any vaccine had ever been used in mass
proportions. Diseases like bubonic plague and scarlet fever
disappeared without any vaccination at all. The mass vaccination
for diphtheria was followed by unprecedented diphtheria epidemics
- in fully vaccinated subjects.
From “Integrative
Medicine,” lecture by Mitch Fleisher, MD, a board-certified family
physician with over 20 years’ experience. He is a clinical
instructor at the University of Virginia and at the Medical
College of Virginia, and specializes in homeopathy, botanical
medicine and nutrition:
“Over the years it has been
discovered that getting the natural disease has some definitive
survival value, as opposed to getting the artificial disease
from vaccines. Getting the natural disease strengthens us over
all and prevents chronic disease, and in my experience - and
those of my colleagues as well - when children have been brought
up unvaccinated they tend to be healthier and more robust than
those who have been vaccinated.”

One of the problems
with vaccinations is that they can weaken the total immune system
as much as from 30 to 70% of its total immunological reserve,
while the body is experiencing a disease would only use 2 to 7%
while fighting a specific virus.
There is a slow,
steady, decrease in immunity after young adulthood. When the body
is exposed to bacteria or other microorganisms (by an actual
exposure or by immunization) fewer protective antibodies are
formed at a slower rate. Although the number of T cells does not
decrease with aging, T cell function decreases, which causes a
weakening of the immune system. Aging changes result in flu shots
or other immunizations being less effective, and protection may
not last as long as expected. The immune system becomes less able
to detect malignant cells and infection risk is greater.

Joe Graedon: "I've
heard from people who did get their flu shots and they still have
come down with influenza, really feeling bad, having headaches and
fever, and muscle aches. Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the Health Research
Group advised not to use the new flu drugs because they are not
very effective. There are some reports that pain relievers like
aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen, may increase viral
replication."

Radio), Jan. 22, 2000.}
Information from Dr.
Severyn’s pamphlet on “Flu Shots: Do They Really Work?” and from
her newsletters:
Congress and the
American taxpayer have been defrauded about the alleged
advantages of flu shots. Instead of being an effective
prevention, evidence indicates that flu shots may be worthless.
The benefit is for those who make money from them.
As far as the flu
shots are concerned, the medical community seems divided about
their appropriateness. While some research has shown that these
vaccinations may be beneficial for the elderly or immuno-compromised
individuals, other research suggest that these shots are most
ineffective. According to Richard Judelsohn, MD, Associate
Chairman of the New York State Vaccinations Advisory council, 30%
of these vaccines are not effective. Flu and pneumonia vaccines
are 50 to 60% ineffective.
The influenza shot
prevents the flu in only about 30 to 40% of the elderly
population. In fact, getting vaccinated could give these people a
false sense of protection - which might lead them to be less
cautious. The flu shot does not protect a person from getting a
host of other upper-respiratory-tract infections that also
commonly circulate during the winter season. Although the CDC
claims the flu vaccine is safe, a large body of anecdotal evidence
shows a link between the flu shot and Guillain-Barre syndrome
(which causes muscle weakness, pain and paralysis).
The 1976 Swine Flu
Fiasco: Medical officials warned that the ‘swine flu’ would be one
of the worst epidemics in medical history, and millions of dollars
were appropriated by Congress to develop and administer a vaccine
to prepare for this ‘killer flu.’ Only a total of six cases were
reported, but the swine flu vaccine caused a reported 565 cases of
Guillain-Barre paralysis, 30 to 60 deaths and numerous other
problems, including blindness and impotency.
Although
improvements have been made in flu vaccines since 1976, all flu
vaccines are capable of causing Guillain-Barre.
An article in the
Lancet on “Vaccinations and the control of influenza,” described
the effect of an influenza vaccination on a Post Office staff.
After comparing absences due to sickness in over 50,000 employees
in both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, it was concluded that
the flu shots did not result in a significant reduction in flu.
The effectiveness levels of flu vaccine can be down as low as 30%.
Ever since the flu vaccine was introduced, published reports of
ineffectiveness and adverse reactions, including deaths, were
filling medical journals. Mass influenza vaccinations programs,
just as for other vaccinations programs, instead of protecting,
actually predisposed many people to the disease and made them
susceptible through the process of sensitization to serious and
even fatal outcomes.
Legionnaires’
disease outbreaks (even in different parts of the U.S.) coincide
with flu vaccine injections. Humanity has not really become wiser
or more scientific for all its technical progress.
--- FluMist Nasal Flu Vaccine ---
MedImmune Inc. will
soon launch its nasal spray flu vaccine, the first needle-free flu
vaccine, supported by a $25 million direct-to-consumer marketing
campaign, the largest ever for a vaccine. The nasal vaccine,
called FluMist, contains a live virus while the standard shot
contains a dead virus. The live virus could pose a threat to those
with weakened immune systems, so FluMist is approved only for
healthy people between the ages of 5 and 49.
{Washington Post, Sept. 10, 2003}
However, Wyeth, the
partner vaccine maker, will be spending another $75 million to
promote this vaccine to doctors, for a grand total of $100
million. They anticipate making a cool $1 billion. The ‘experts’
will use fear to motivate people to get a flu vaccine, but flu
shots don’t prevent illness. The flu vaccine can actually weaken
the immune system and make you more predisposed to the disease.
People are dying from the flu because they are already sick and
have compromised immune systems.
Physicians occupy a
privileged and respected position in our society and they must
assume extra responsibility for what they do and say. Doctors are
discouraged from doing research on the risks of vaccinations
because of the impossibility of getting the research published.
The editorial boards of reputable journals are full of vaccine
policymakers, recipients of federal vaccine-research grants, and
paid consultants to vaccine manufacturers. When refusing to print
anti-vaccine articles, the editorial boards need only to say that
the research is below “accepted standards.”

Instead of
emphasizing a healthy, wholesome lifestyle as the best prevention
against hepatitis B disease, including refraining from illicit
drug use and premarital sexual intercourse, the federal government
targets middle schools for government mass hepatitis B vaccination
programs. It is unjust to require persons who practice premarital
chastity to submit themselves to vaccine risks for diseases they
will likely never encounter. Because of the incomplete knowledge
of the long-term safety and effectiveness, compulsory vaccination
laws essentially employ children as involuntary medical research
subjects, in direct violation of the Nuremberg Code (whose first
and most important tenet is voluntary consent).
The CDC estimates
that it will take 20 to 30 years of routine infant and pre-teen
hepatitis B vaccinations to determine if the campaign actually
results in decreased incidence of disease.
The hepatitis B
vaccine can produce neurological symptoms similar to multiple
sclerosis, says Burton Waisbren, MD, a vaccine researcher, and he
suggests that people not get the hepatitis B vaccine unless they
have a known risk factor. Medical journals have documented many
cases of autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system from
the hepatitis B vaccine.
Hepatitis B contains
a vaccine preservative which contains mercury.
{Newsweek - Sept. 13, 1999 - “Necessary Shots?”}
As is true of all
foreign antigens, hepatitis B vaccine affects the newborns’ liver,
which may become dysfunctional for 14 days or more after the
injection.
Not too long ago Fox
news showed us a picture of a man who was covered with smallpox
pustules on his arms, face, legs and abdomen. He looked like a
monster from another world. However, I know that the cause of
those ugly marks was the drug treatment, carbolic acid that had
been used to kill the supposed germ that caused the eruptive rash.
Who are the terrorists, the pharmaceutical companies or the
Taliban? It is claimed by medical historians that the vaccination
process wiped out smallpox all over the world. However, the truth
is that compulsory vaccination was abandoned because more deaths
were caused by the vaccinations than there were cases of smallpox.
A slight of the hand trick was used to foster the claim that
smallpox was eradicated by the vaccination practice. Everyone who
had been vaccinated and who developed smallpox was diagnosed as
having chicken pox! Edward Jenner, a notorious fake and quack, is
credited with having ‘discovered’ vaccination. However, it was a
practice of many ancient peoples, including savage and barbaric
tribes in various parts of the world. But, due to its proven
evils, one of which was an increase in smallpox in England, the
practice was abolished in 1840. James Phipps, the 8-year old boy
vaccinated by Jenner in 1986, died at the age of 20. He had been
re-vaccinated twenty times. Jenner’s own son had also been
vaccinated more than once and died at age 21. Both succumbed to
tuberculosis, a condition that some researchers have linked to the
smallpox vaccine.
After the skin
eruptions, the fever subsides and the patients would normally be
on the road to recovery were it not for the suppressive
medications given by the doctor. All the various treatments to
kill microbes that are supposedly causing the disease, are killing
the patient. They are not permitting the body to eliminate toxins
or restore the blood and tissues to their normal healthy
condition. Getting rid of the rash by ‘rash’ means, or to doctor
it in any way, is the disastrous blunder that causes horrible side
effects, more disease, and even death. Smallpox is a disease of
the person who overeats on a daily basis, especially on animal
foods. When diseases are ‘treated’ the body is inundated with
toxic substances and it may shut down.
{See details on chetday.com/naturalhygienesmallpox.htm by Dr.
Vivian Virginia Vetrano. Dr. Vetrano holds degrees in homeopathy,
and medicine and studied naturopathy. The author of many articles,
she studied radiation biology at Trinity University as an
undergraduate.)
Records show that
90% of all smallpox occurred after the individual was vaccinated.
The credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing
all cases of smallpox - after being vaccinated - as pustular
eczema or something else. Of all the school-age cases of measles
in the U.S. in 1984, 58% had been vaccinated for measles. Research
has demonstrated that approximately 25% of those vaccinated
against rubella show no sign of immunity five years later. One
example given was of 80% of all army recruits who had been
vaccinated against rubella just four months earlier still
contracted the disease.
Since some
vaccinations are mandatory, the following steps have been
recommended for those who are concerned and want to help minimize
the dangers from vaccinations:
- If possible, have the children’s
mandatory shots at the upper age allowed. This lessens the
health risks for the child and, because the immune system is
more developed, improves antibody response.
- Give vitamin C before they have
inoculations.
- In order for harmful effects to be
minimized or eliminated, be under the care of a Homeopathic
physician prior to vaccination.
- Use preventive methods. There are
several ways you can protect yourself against contagious
diseases. Wash your hands (with soap and water) several times a
day. Wash dishes in very hot water, and keep the kitchen
surfaces and common areas (such as the bathroom) clean. Boost
your body’s immune defenses by eating plenty of fruits and
vegetables, taking vitamins/herbs/supplements, exercising
regularly, and getting enough sleep.
Get political and
contact ‘Health Freedom’ organizations to give them your support.
Write letters, speak out, and share the information in this
article with others. Our medical policy-makers have lobbied
against our freedom of choice with a pattern of coercion and
denial, responding more to politics and money than a regard for
our health. Parents have the moral and legal obligation to ensure
their children’s health, and their loyalty should be to them, not
with the medical system.
Not only has your
right to choose been taken away when vaccinations are mandatory,
but facts about the risks of vaccination are being suppressed so
few are aware of the many risks.
Rarely, if ever,
will you see a medical journal print negative facts about
vaccinations. No matter how valid the studies, most conventional
physicians will not listen to any facts that call their judgment
into question. Without public outcry, more and more vaccinations
will be required. Read books, health magazines, newsletters, etc.
that give balanced coverage on issues that concern you. Explore
Web sites and be informed so you can make responsible decisions
about your health and the health of your children.
More than 70 people
are suing the maker of a vaccine against Lyme disease, alleging
that they failed to warn them of the known risks.
{“Vaccine Victims” by Ephrat Livni, abcnews.com, 5/17/00}
The American Academy
of Pediatrics recommends vaccines for 10 diseases in a baby’s
first 18 months of life, and that doesn't include booster shots.
Make an informed choice and learn about the risks.
Few parents are
prepared to arrive at their own conclusions regarding the vaccine
decision. They tenaciously, almost religiously, trust their
doctors and pediatricians, and they are afraid to ask questions or
even consider all of their options.
Many medical experts
not only refuse to take vaccinations but refuse to let their
families be subjected to the dangers of vaccination. This makes a
very powerful statement. Researchers have identified an actual
lowering of the body’s resistance resulting from vaccinations.
What can you do? You
can read books and visit web sites and not blindly accept the
recommendations of the pediatricians/doctors. Educate yourself and
then weigh the risks. The schools may tell you that your child
will not be admitted without vaccinations but all states allow a
philosophical exemption to vaccinations, and all states but
Mississippi allow a religious exemption. A religious exemption
should be worded to conform to the language of the law, so a
parent would need to get a copy of your state’s Vaccinations
regulation from the health department. Attorneys who specialize in
this area can help you obtain a religious exemption.
