DISPELLING VACCINATION MYTHS An Introduction to the Contradictions Between Medical Science and Immunization
Policy
Introduction: When my son was set to begin his routine vaccination
series at age 2 months, I didn’t know there were any risks associated with
immunizations. But the clinic's flyer contained a contradiction: my child’s
chances of a serious adverse reaction to the DPT vaccine were one in 1750,
while his chances of dying from pertussis were one in several million.
When I pointed this out to the physician, he angrily disagreed, and stormed
out of the room mumbling, "I guess I should read that [flyer] sometime..."
Soon thereafter I learned of a child who had been permanently disabled
by a vaccine, so I decided to investigate for myself. My findings have
so alarmed me that I feel compelled to share them; hence, this report.
Health authorities credit vaccines for disease declines, and
assure us of their safety and effectiveness. Yet these assumptions are
directly contradicted by government statistics, published medical studies,
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
reports, and the opinions of credible research scientists from around the
world. In fact, infectious diseases declined steadily for decades prior
to mass immunizations, doctors in the U.S. report thousands of serious
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
diseases that have risen dramatically in recent decades to mass immunization
campaigns.
Decades of studies published in the world’s leading medical journals
have documented vaccine failure and serious adverse vaccine events, including
death. Dozens of books written by doctors, researchers, and independent
investigators reveal serious flaws in immunization theory and practice.
Yet, incredibly, most pediatricians and parents are unaware of these findings.
This has begun to change in recent years, however, as a growing number
of parents and healthcare providers around the world are becoming aware
of the problems and questioning mass mandatory immunization. There is
a growing international movement away from mass mandatory immunization.
This report introduces some of the information that provides the basis
for the movement.
My point is not to tell anyone whether or not to vaccinate, but rather,
with the utmost urgency, to point out some very good reasons why everyone
should examine the facts before deciding whether or not to submit to the
procedure. As a new parent, I was shocked to discover the absence of a
legal mandate or professional ethic requiring pediatricians to be fully
informed of the risks of vaccination, let alone to inform parents that
their children risk death or permanent disability upon being vaccinated.
I was equally dismayed to see first-hand the prevalence of physicians who
are, if with the best of intentions, applying practices based on incomplete—and
in some cases, outright mis—information.
This report is only a brief introduction; your own further investigation
is warranted and strongly recommended. You may discover that this is the
only way to get an objective view, as the controversy is a highly emotional
one.
A word of caution: Many have found pediatricians unwilling or unable
to discuss this subject calmly with an open mind. Perhaps this is because
they have staked their personal identities and professional reputations
on the presumed safety and effectiveness of vaccines, and because they
are required by their profession to promote vaccination. But in any event,
anecdotal reports suggest that most doctors have great difficulty acknowledging
evidence of problems with vaccines. The first pediatrician I attempted
to share my findings with yelled angrily at me when I calmly brought up
the subject. The misconceptions have very deep roots. more

Tell
Congressional and State Legislators that you oppose compulsory vaccination
or drugging! Programs to force dangerous and unwelcome vaccines
and drugs on children and adults are springing up rapidly. No fewer than
6 federal laws mandate involuntary drugging of children for "mental health"
issues - and mandate the drugging of the adults in their families and communities,
as well! New Jersey now requires mercury-laced, ineffective and potentially
dangerous flu vaccines for all pre-schoolers along with other mandatory
vaccines, making it the first State
in the US to require vaccinations, let alone ones with mercury unless one
counts Texas, which mandated vaccination of all girls with Gardasil, the
poorly tested, high adverse event-realted Human Papilloma Virus vaccine.
Texas quickly rescinded its decision under the weight of public outrage.
Now States are being urged to compell vaccination of little boys with the
same poorly tested vaccine even though they have no chance of getting the
disease it supposedly prevents.
Dr.
Will Falconer - "Transfer Factor should
be given before and immediately after vaccination for at least a few weeks
to help ameliorate the immune system confusion."
There are over 3,000 published papers, 50 years of research, and thousands
of case reports on the effectiveness of Transfer Factor in modulating the
immune system. Homeopathy
is also noted for its success to antidote or remove the toxic effects of
vaccines and to re-establish balance in the organism and restore health.
Certain homeopathic remedies taken aftervaccination can minimize
vaccine damage. A professional homeopath
should be consulted for more information. Holistic doctors and pediatricians
are also using Homeopathy and Transfer Factor to successfully prevent and
treat the diseases of smallpox, measles,
whooping cough,
chickenpox,
anthrax and other ailments.
VACCINATION MYTH #1: "Vaccines are safe..." ...or
are they?
The Federal government VAERS [Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System] (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System)
was established by Congress under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury
Compensation Act of 1986. It receives about 11,000 reports of serious adverse
reactions to vaccinations annually, which include as many as one to two
hundred deaths, and several times that number of permanent disabilities.
VAERS officials report that 15% of adverse events are "serious" (emergency
room trip, hospitalization, life-threatening episode, permanent disability,
death). Independent analysis of VAERS reports has revealed that up to 50%
of reported adverse events for the Hepatitis B vaccine are "serious." While
these figures are alarming, they are only the tip of the iceberg. The FDA
estimates that as few as 1% of serious adverse reactions to vaccines are
reported,, and the CDC admits that only about 10% of such events are reported.
In fact, Congress has heard testimony that medical students are told not
to report suspected adverse events.
The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC, a grassroots organization
founded by parents of vaccine-injured and killed children) has conducted
its own investigations. It reported: "In New York, only one out of 40 doctor's
offices confirmed that they report a death or injury following vaccination."
In other words, 97.5% of vaccine related deaths and disabilities go unreported
there. Implications about medical ethics aside (federal law directs doctors
to report serious adverse events), these findings suggest that vaccine
deaths and serious injuries actually occurring may be from 10 to 100 times
greater than the number reported.
With pertussis (often referred to as "whooping cough"), the number of
vaccine-related deaths dwarfs the number of disease deaths, which have
been about 10 annually for many years according to the CDC, and only 8
in 1993, one of the last peak-incidence years (pertussis runs in 3-4 year
cycles; no none knows why, but vaccination rates have no such cycles).
When you factor in under-reporting, the vaccine may be 100 times more deadly
than the disease. Some argue that this is a necessary cost to prevent the
return of a disease that would be more deadly than the vaccine. But when
you consider the fact that the vast majority of disease decline this century
preceded the widespread use of vaccinations (pertussis mortality declined
79% prior to vaccines), and the fact that rates of disease declines remained
virtually unchanged following the introduction of mass immunization, present
day vaccine casualties cannot reasonably be explained away as a necessary
sacrifice for the benefit of a disease-free society.
Unfortunately, the vaccine-related-deaths story doesn’t end here. Studies
internationally have shown vaccination to be a cause of SIDS, (SIDS, Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome, is a "catch-all" diagnosis given when the specific
cause of death is unknown; estimates range from 5,000 to 10,000 cases each
year in the US). One study found the peak incidence of SIDS occurred at
the ages of 2 and 4 months in the U.S., precisely when the first two routine
immunizations are given, while another found a clear pattern of correlation
extending three weeks after immunization. Another study found that 3,000
children die within 4 days of vaccination each year in the U.S. (amazingly,
the authors reported no SIDS/vaccine relationship), while yet another researcher’s
studies led to the conclusion that at least half of SIDS cases are caused
by vaccines.
Initial studies suggesting a causal relationship between SIDS and vaccines
were quickly followed by vaccine-manufacturer-sponsored studies concluding
that there is no relationship between SIDS and vaccines; one such study
claimed that there was a slightly lower incidence of SIDS in vaccinees.
However, many of these studies were called into question by yet another
study that found "confounding" had erroneously skewed the results of these
studies in favor of the vaccine. At best, there is conflicting evidence.
But shouldn't we err on the side of caution? Shouldn't any credible correlation
between vaccines and infant deaths be just cause for meticulous, widespread
monitoring of the vaccination status of all SIDS cases? Health authorities
have chosen to err on the side of denial rather than caution.
In the mid 1970's Japan raised their vaccination age from two months
to two years; their incidence of SIDS dropped dramatically; they went from
an infant mortality ranking of 17 to first in the world (i.e., Japan had
the lowest infant death rate when infants were not being immunized). England’s
vaccination rate temporarily dropped to about 30% at about the same time
following media reports of vaccine-related brain damage. Infant mortality
dropped substantially for about 2 years, then rose again in close correlation
to rising immunization rates in the late 1970’s. Despite these experiences,
the medical community maintains a posture of denial. Coroners don’t check
the vaccination status of SIDS victims, and unsuspecting families continue
to pay the price, unaware of the dangers and denied the right to make an
informed choice.
FDA and CDC admissions about the lack of adverse event reporting suggests
that the total number of adverse reactions actually occurring each year
may actually fall within a range of 100,000 to a million (with "serious"
events being approximately 20% of these). This concern is underscored by
a study revealing that 1 in 175 children who completed the full DPT series
suffered "severe reactions," and a Dr.'s report for attorneys stating that
one in 300 DPT immunizations resulted in seizures.
England actually saw a drop in pertussis deaths when vaccination rates
dropped to 30% in the mid 70's. Swedish epidemiologist B. Trollfors’ study
of pertussis vaccine efficacy and toxicity around the world found that
"pertussis-associated mortality is currently very low in industrialised
countries and no difference can be discerned when countries with high,
low, and zero immunisation rates were compared." He also found that England,
Wales, and West Germany had more pertussis fatalities in 1970 when the
immunization rate was high than during the last half of 1980, when rates
had fallen.
Vaccinations cost us more than just the lives and health of our children.
The U.S. Federal Government's National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
(NVICP) has paid out over $1.2 billion since 1988 to the families of children
injured and killed by vaccines, with money that comes from a tax on vaccines
that vaccine recipients pay. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies have a
captive market; vaccines are legally mandated in all 50 U.S. states (though
legally avoidable in most; see Myth #9), yet these same companies are "immune"
from accountability for the consequences of their products. Furthermore,
they have been allowed to use "gag orders" as a leverage tool in vaccine
damage legal settlements to prevent disclosure of information to the public
about vaccination dangers. Such arrangements are clearly unethical; they
force an uninformed American public to pay for vaccine manufacturer's liabilities,
while ensuring that this same public will remain ignorant of the dangers
of their products. This arrangement also diminishes any incentive that
manufacturers might have to produce safer vaccines (after all, when the
vaccine causes a death or injury, they don’t have to pay for it; they still
get their profit).
It is important to note that insurance companies, who do the best liability
studies, refuse to cover vaccine reactions. Profits appear to dictate both
the pharmaceutical and insurance companies’ positions.
VACCINATION TRUTH #1:
"Vaccination causes significant death and disability at an astounding
personal and financial cost to uninformed families."
Vaccine manufacturers
have paid out nearly $2B in damages to parents in America whose children
were harmed by one of the childhood jabs such as the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella)
or DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus). In all, around 2,000 families have
received compensation payments that have averaged $850,000 each. There
are a further 700 claims that are going through the pipeline. None of the
claims is for autism as medical researchers say they have failed to find
a link between the disease and the MMR vaccine, despite the initial findings
made by Dr Andrew Wakefield. Instead they are for a wide spectrum of physical
and mental conditions that are likely to have been caused by one of the
vaccinations. Around 7,000 parents have filed a claim of an adverse reaction
with America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To win an award,
the claimant must prove a causal link to a vaccine. As the medical establishment
has refused to recognise any link to autism, the VICP has so far rejected
300 claims for this outright. (Source: New England Journal of Medicine,
2007; 357: 1275-9).
Dr. Russell Blaylock
writes, “I was in the military during the first swine flu scare in 1976.
At the time it became policy that all soldiers would be vaccinated for
swine flu. As a medical officer I refused and almost faced a court martial,
but the military didn't want the bad publicity. Despite the assurance by
all the experts in virology, including Dr. Sabin, the epidemic never materialized.
What did materialize were 500 cases of Gullian-Barre paralysis, including
25 deaths-not due to the swine flu itself, but as a direct result of the
vaccine.” more...
VACCINATION MYTH #2:
"Vaccines are very effective..."
...or are they?
The medical literature has a surprising number of studies documenting
vaccine failure. Measles, mumps, small pox, pertussis, polio and Hib outbreaks
have all occurred in vaccinated populations.,,,, In 1989 the CDC reported:
"Among school-aged children, [measles] outbreaks have occurred in schools
with vaccination levels of greater than 98 percent. [They] have occurred
in all parts of the country, including areas that had not reported measles
for years." The CDC even reported a measles outbreak in a documented 100%
vaccinated population. A study examining this phenomenon concluded, "The
apparent paradox is that as measles immunization rates rise to high levels
in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunized persons." A more
recent study found that measles vaccination "produces immune suppression
which contributes to an increased susceptibility to other infections."
These studies suggest that the goal of complete "immunization" may actually
be counter-productive, a notion underscored by instances in which epidemics
followed complete immunization of entire countries. Japan experienced yearly
increases in small pox following the introduction of compulsory vaccines
in 1872. By 1892, there were 29,979 deaths, and all had been vaccinated.
In the early 1900’s, the Philippines experienced their worst smallpox epidemic
ever after 8 million people received 24.5 million vaccine doses (achieving
a vaccination rate of 95%); the death rate quadrupled as a result. Before
England’s first compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the largest two-year
smallpox death rate was about 2,000; in 1870-71, England and Wales had
over 23,000 smallpox deaths. In 1989, the country of Oman experienced a
widespread polio outbreak six months after achieving complete vaccination.
In the U.S. in 1986, 90% of 1300 pertussis cases in Kansas were "adequately
vaccinated." 72% of pertussis cases in the 1993 Chicago outbreak were fully
up to date with their vaccinations.
VACCINATION TRUTH #2:
"Evidence suggests that vaccination is an unreliable means of preventing
disease."
VACCINATION MYTH #3:
"Vaccines are the reason for low disease rates in the U.S. today..."
...or are they?
According to the British Association for the Advancement of Science,
childhood diseases decreased 90% between 1850 and 1940, paralleling improved
sanitation and hygienic practices, well before mandatory vaccination programs.
The Medical Sentinel recently reported, "from 1911 to 1935, the four leading
causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S. were diphtheria,
pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles. However, by 1945 the combined death
rates from these causes had declined by 95 percent, before the implementation
of mass immunization programs."
Thus, at best, vaccinations can only be examined only for their relationship
to the small, remaining portion of disease declines that occurred after
their introduction. Yet even this role is questionable, as pre-vaccine
rates of disease mortality decline remained virtually the same after vaccines
were introduced. Furthermore, European countries that refused immunization
for small pox and polio saw the epidemics end along with those countries
that mandated it; vaccines were clearly not the sole determining factor.
In fact, both small pox and polio immunization campaigns were followed
by significant disease incidence increases. After smallpox vaccination
was being mandated, smallpox remained a prevalent disease with some substantial
increases, while other infectious diseases simultaneously continued their
declines in the absence of vaccines. In England and Wales, smallpox disease
and vaccination rates eventually declined simultaneously over a period
of several decades between the 1870’s and the beginning of World War II.
It is thus impossible to say whether or not vaccinations contributed to
the continuing declines in disease death rates, or if the declines continued
unabated simply due to the same forces which likely brought about the initial
declines—improvements in sanitation, hygiene and diet; better housing,
transportation and infrastructure; better food preservation techniques
and technology; and natural disease cycles. Underscoring this conclusion
was a recent World Health Organization report which found that the disease
and mortality rates in third world countries have no direct correlation
with immunization procedures or medical treatment, but are closely related
to the standard of hygiene and diet. Credit given to vaccinations for our
current disease incidence has simply been grossly exaggerated, if not outright
misplaced.
Vaccine advocates point to incidence rather than mortality statistics
as evidence of vaccine effectiveness. However, statisticians tell us that
mortality statistics are a better measure of disease than incidence figures,
for the simple reason that the quality of reporting and record keeping
is much higher on fatalities. For instance, a survey in New York City revealed
that only 3.2% of pediatricians were actually reporting measles cases to
the health department. In 1974, the CDC determined that there were 36 cases
of measles in Georgia, while the Georgia State Surveillance System reported
660 cases. In 1982, Maryland state health officials blamed a pertussis
epidemic on a television program, "D.P.T.—Vaccine Roulette," which warned
of the dangers of DPT; but when former top virologist for the U.S. Division
of Biological Standards, Dr. J. Anthony Morris, analyzed the 41 cases,
he confirmed only 5, and all had been vaccinated. Such instances as these
demonstrate the fallacy of incidence figures, yet vaccine advocates tend
to rely on them indiscriminately.
VACCINATION TRUTH #3
"It is unclear what impact, if any, that vaccines had on 19th
and 20th century infectious disease declines."

Human Papilloma Virus vaccine. Texas quickly rescinded its decision
under the weight of public outrage. Now States are being urged to compell
vaccination of little boys with the same poorly tested vaccine even though
they have no chance of getting the disease it supposedly prevents.
VACCINATION MYTH #4:
"Vaccination is based on sound immunization theory and practice..."
...or is it?
The clinical evidence for vaccines is their ability to stimulate antibody
production in the recipient. What is not clear, however, is whether or
not antibody production constitutes immunity. For example, agamma globulin-anemic
children are incapable of producing antibodies, yet they recover from infectious
diseases almost as quickly as other children. Furthermore, a study published
by the British Medical Council in 1950 during a diphtheria epidemic concluded
that there was no relationship between antibody count and disease incidence;
researchers found resistant people with extremely low antibody counts and
sick people with high counts. Natural immunization is a complex interactive
process involving many bodily organs and systems; it cannot be replicated
by the artificial stimulation of antibodies.
Research also indicates that vaccination commits immune cells to the
specific antigens in a vaccine, rendering them incapable of reacting to
other infections. Immunological reserves may thus actually be reduced,
causing a generally lowered resistance.
Another component of immunization theory is "herd immunity," the notion
that when enough people in a community are immunized, all are protected.
As Myth #2 showed, there are many documented instances showing just the
opposite—fully vaccinated populations have experienced epidemics. With
measles, this actually seems to be the direct result of high vaccination
rates. In Minnesota, a state epidemiologist concluded that the Hib vaccine
increases the risk of illness when a study revealed that vaccinated children
were five times more likely to contract meningitis than unvaccinated children.
Surprisingly, vaccination has never actually been clinically proven
to be effective in preventing disease, for the simple reason that no researcher
has directly exposed test subjects to diseases (nor may they ethically
do so). The medical community’s gold standard, the double blind, placebo-controlled
study, has not been used to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated people,
and so the practice remains unscientifically proven. Furthermore, it is
important to recognize that not everyone exposed to a disease develops
symptoms (indeed, only a tiny percentage of a population need develop symptoms
for an epidemic to be declared). Thus, if a vaccinated individual is exposed
to a disease and doesn’t get sick, it is impossible to know whether the
vaccine worked, because there is no way to know if that person would have
developed symptoms if he or she had not been vaccinated. It is also worth
noting that outbreaks in recent years have recorded more disease cases
in vaccinated children than in unvaccinated children.
Yet another surprising aspect of immunization practice is the "one size
fits all" aspect. An 8 pound 2 month old baby receives the same dosage
as a 40 pound five year old child. Infants with immature, undeveloped immune
systems may receive five or more times the dosage, relative to body weight,
as older children. Furthermore, the number of "units" within doses has
been found in random testing to range from ½ to 3 times what the
label indicates; manufacturing quality controls appear to tolerate a rather
large margin of error. "Hot Lots"—vaccine lots associated with disproportionately
high death and disability rates—have been repeatedly identified by the
NVIC, but the FDA consistently refuses to intervene to prevent further
unnecessary injury and deaths. In fact, individual vaccine lots have never
been recalled due to their greater incidence of adverse reactions. However,
the rotavirus vaccine was taken off the market a few months after being
introduced when it caused bowel obstructions in many recipients. Incredibly,
the FDA and CDC knew about this problem prior to licensing the vaccine,
but both organizations still gave their unanimous approval.
Finally, vaccines are administered with the assumption that all recipients—regardless
of race, culture, diet, genetic makeup, geographic location, or any other
characteristic—will respond the same. This was perhaps never more dramatically
disproved than in Australia's Northern Territory a few years ago, where
stepped-up immunization campaigns in native aborigines resulted in an incredible
50% infant mortality rate. One must wonder about the lives of the survivors,
too; if half died, surely the other half did not escape unaffected.
Almost as troubling was a recent study in the New England Journal of
Medicine reporting that a substantial number of Romanian children were
contracting polio from the vaccine. Researchers found a correlation with
injections of antibiotics. A single injection within one month of vaccination
raised the risk of polio eight times, two to nine injections raised the
risk 27-fold, and 10 or more injections raised the risk 182 times.
What other factors not accounted for in vaccination theory will surface
unexpectedly to reveal unforeseen or previously overlooked consequences?
We cannot begin to fully comprehend the scope and degree of the danger
until public health officials begin looking and reporting in earnest. In
the meantime, entire countries’ populations are unwitting gamblers in a
game that many might very well choose not to play if they were given all
the rules in advance.
VACCINATION TRUTH #4:
"Many of the assumptions upon which immunization theory and practice
are based are unproven or have been proven false in their application."
VACCINATION MYTH #5:
"Childhood diseases are extremely dangerous..."
...or are they, really?
Most childhood infectious diseases have few serious consequences in
today's modern world. Even conservative CDC statistics for pertussis during
1992-94 indicate a 99.8% recovery rate. In fact, when hundreds of pertussis
cases occurred in Ohio and Chicago in the fall 1993 outbreak, an infectious
disease expert from Cincinnati Children's Hospital said, "The disease was
very mild, no one died, and no one went to the intensive care unit."
The vast majority of the time, childhood infectious diseases are benign
and self-limiting. They usually impart lifelong immunity, whereas vaccine-induced
immunity is only temporary. In fact, the temporary nature of vaccine immunity
can create a more dangerous situation in a child’s future. For example,
the new chicken pox vaccine has an effectiveness estimated at 6 - 10 years.
If effective, it will postpone the child's vulnerability until adulthood,
when death from the disease, while still rare, is 20 times more likely
than in childhood. "Measles parties" used to be common in Britain; if a
child got measles, other parents in the neighborhood would rush their kids
over to play with the infected child, to deliberately contract the disease
and develop immunity. This avoids the risk of infection in adulthood when
the disease is more dangerous, and provides the benefits of an immune system
strengthened by the natural disease process.
About half of measles cases in the late 1980's resurgence were in adolescents
and adults, most of whom were vaccinated as children, and the recommended
booster shots may provide protection for less than six months. Some healthcare
professionals are concerned that the virus from the chicken pox vaccine
may "reactivate later in life in the form of herpes zoster (shingles) or
other immune system disorders." Dr. A. Lavin of the Dept. of Pediatrics,
St. Luke's Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, strongly opposed licensing
the new vaccine, "until we actually know...the risks involved in injecting
mutated DNA [the vaccine herpes virus] into the host genome [children]."
The truth is, no one knows, but the vaccine is now licensed, recommended
by health authorities, and quickly becoming mandated throughout the country.
Not only are most infectious diseases rarely dangerous, they can actually
play a vital role in the developing a strong, healthy immune system. Persons
who have not had measles have a higher incidence of certain skin diseases,
degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage, and certain tumors, while
absence of mumps has been linked to higher risks of ovarian cancer. Anthroposophical
medical doctors recommend only the tetanus and polio vaccines; they believe
contracting the other childhood infectious diseases is beneficial in that
it matures and strengthens the immune system.
VACCINATION TRUTH #5:
"Dangers of childhood diseases are greatly exaggerated in order to scare
parents into compliance with a questionable but highly profitable procedure."
VACCINATION MYTH #6:
"Polio was one of the clearly great vaccination success stories..."
...or was it?
Six New England states reported increases in polio one year after the
Salk vaccine was introduced, ranging from more than doubling in Vermont
to Massachusetts’ astounding increase of 642%; other states reported increases
as well. The incidence in Wisconsin increased by a factor of five. Idaho
and Utah actually halted vaccination due to the increased incidence and
death rate. In 1959, 77.5% of Massachusetts’ paralytic cases had received
3 doses of IPV (injected polio vaccine). During 1962 U.S. Congressional
hearings, Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Dept. of Biostatistics for
the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, testified that
not only did the cases of polio increase substantially after mandatory
vaccinations—a 50% increase from 1957 to 1958, and an 80% increase from
1958 to 1959—but that the statistics were deliberately manipulated by the
Public Health Service to give the opposite impression. It is important
to understand that the polio vaccine was not universally accepted, at least
initially. Despite this, polio declined both in European countries that
refused mass vaccination as well as in those that employed it.
According to researcher-author Dr. Viera Scheibner, 90% of polio cases
were eliminated from statistics by health authorities’ redefinition of
the disease when the vaccine was introduced, while in reality the Salk
vaccine was continuing to cause paralytic polio in several countries at
a time when there were no epidemics being caused by the wild virus. For
example, cases of viral and aseptic meningitis, which have symptoms similar
to polio, were routinely diagnosed and recorded as polio before the vaccine,
but were distinguished and removed from polio statistics after the vaccine.
Also, the number of cases needed to declare an epidemic was raised from
20 to 35, and the requirement for inclusion in paralysis statistics was
changed from symptoms that lasted for 24 hours to symptoms lasting 60 days
(many polio victims’ paralysis was temporary). It is no wonder that polio
decreased radically after vaccines—at least on paper. In 1985, the CDC
reported that 87% of the cases of polio in the U.S. between 1973 and 1983
were caused by the vaccine, and later declared that all but a few imported
cases since were caused by the vaccine—and most of the imported cases occurred
in fully vaccinated individuals.
Jonas Salk, inventor of the IPV, testified before a Senate subcommittee
that nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961 were caused by the oral polio
vaccine. At a workshop on polio vaccines sponsored by the Institute of
Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Samuel
Katz of Duke University cited the estimated 8-10 annual U.S. cases of vaccine-associated
paralytic polio (VAPP) in people who have taken the oral polio vaccine,
and the [four year] absence of wild polio from the western hemisphere.
Jessica Scheer of the National Rehabilitation Hospital Research Center
in Washington, D.C., pointed out that most parents are unaware that polio
vaccination in this country entails "a small number of human sacrifices
each year." Compounding this contradiction are low adverse event reporting
and the NVIC’s experiences with confirming and correcting misdiagnoses
of vaccine reactions, which suggest that the actual number of VAPP "sacrifices"
may be 10 to 100 times higher than that cited by the CDC. For these reasons,
the live polio virus is no longer in widespread use.
To be sure, polio as it was known in the first half of the 20th
century does not exist today. However, declines following polio peaks in
the late 1940’s and early 1950’s had been underway again for a period of
years by the time the vaccine was introduced.
VACCINATION TRUTH #6:
"The polio vaccine temporarily reversed disease declines that were underway
before the vaccine was introduced; this fact was deliberately covered up
by health authorities. In Europe, polio declined in countries that both
embraced and rejected the vaccine."
VACCINATION MYTH #7:
"My child had no reaction to the vaccines, so there is nothing to worry
about..."
...or is there?
The documented long term adverse effects of vaccines include chronic
immunological and neurological disorders such as autism, hyperactivity,
attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, allergies, cancer, and other conditions,
many of which barely existed before mass vaccination programs. Vaccine
ingredients include known toxicants and carcinogens such as thimersol (a
mercury derivative), aluminum phosphate, formaldehyde (for which the Poisons
Information Centre in Australia claims there is no acceptable safe amount
that can be injected into a living human body), and phenoxyethanol (commonly
known as antifreeze). Some of these ingredients are gastrointestinal toxicants,
liver toxicants, respiratory toxicants, neurotoxicants, cardiovascular
and blood toxicants, reproductive toxicants, and developmental toxicants,
to name a few of the known dangers. Chemical ranking systems rate many
vaccine ingredients among the most hazardous substances, and they are heavily
regulated. Even microscopic doses of some of these ingredients are known
to be able to cause serious injury. In addition, some vaccine mediums used
in the production of vaccines contain human diploid cells originating from
human aborted fetal tissue, a fact that might affect many people’s vaccination
choices—if they only knew this was the case.
Medical historian, researcher and author Harris Coulter, Ph.D. explained
that his extensive research revealed childhood immunization to be "causing
a low-grade encephalitis in infants on a much wider scale than public health
authorities were willing to admit, about 15-20% of all children." He points
out that the sequelae [conditions known to result from a disease] of encephalitis
[inflammation of the brain, a documented adverse effect of vaccination]:
autism, learning disabilities, minimal and not-so-minimal brain damage,
seizures, epilepsy, sleeping and eating disorders, sexual disorders, asthma,
crib death, diabetes, obesity, and impulsive violence are precisely the
disorders which afflict contemporary society. Many of these conditions
were formerly relatively rare, but they have become more common as childhood
vaccination programs have expanded. Coulter also points out that pertussis
toxoid is used to induce encephalitis in lab animals. The pertussis vaccine’s
ability to cause brain damage is thus not only known, but relied upon by
clinical researchers studying brain disorders.
A German study found correlations between vaccinations and 22 neurological
conditions including attention deficit and epilepsy. Another dilemma is
that viral elements in vaccines may persist and mutate in the human body
for years, with unknown consequences. Millions of children are partaking
in an enormous, crude experiment; and no sincere, organized effort is being
made by the medical community to track the negative side effects or to
determine the long-term consequences. Since long-term studies on the adverse
effects of vaccines are virtually non-existent, their widespread use in
the absence of informed consent and adequate safety testing constitutes
medical experimentation. As the American Association of Physicians and
Surgeons and the National Vaccine Information Center have pointed out,
this is a violation of the first principle of the Nuremberg Code, "the
centerpiece of modern bioethics.",
Bart Classen, MD, PhD, founder of Classen Immunotherapies and developer
of vaccine technologies, conducted epidemiological studies around the world
and found vaccines to be the cause of 79% of insulin type I diabetes in
children under 10. The increase risk ranged from 9% with the diphtheria
vaccine to 50% with the Hepatitis B vaccine. According to Classen, CDC
data confirms his findings. However, the implications of Classen’s findings
go well beyond diabetes, as his comment in a 1999 issue of the British
Medical Journal points out: "The incidence of many other chronic immunological
diseases, including asthma, allergies, and immune mediated cancers, has
risen rapidly and may also be linked to immunisation." The diabetes findings
may be only the tip of the iceberg.
Recent studies in the U.S. and England suggest that vaccines cause autism.,,
Mercury poisoning and autism have nearly identical symptoms, and a single
day’s vaccination regimen may inject 41 times the level of mercury known
to cause harm. California’s autism rate has mushroomed 1000% over the past
20 years, with dramatic increases following the introduction of the MMR
vaccine in the early 1980’s. England had dramatic autism increases beginning
in the 1990’s, following the introduction of the MMR vaccine there. Some
infants receive 100 times the EPA’s maximum allowable amount of mercury
through vaccines. In January, 2000, the Journal of Adverse Drug Reactions
reported that the MMR vaccine was not adequately tested and should not
have been licensed. Further reinforcing the suspected vaccine-autism connection
is the fact that many physicians using a systematic mercury-detoxification
regimen with autistic patients have seen dramatic improvements in the health
and behavior of their patients. Today, one out of every 150 children are
affected by autism, according to the National Vaccine Information Center.
In the early 1940’s, prior to the introduction of most vaccines in current
use, it was considered a rare condition that few doctors would ever encounter
in their practice.
VACCINATION TRUTH #7:
"The long term adverse effects of vaccinations have been ignored in
spite of compelling correlations with many serious chronic conditions.
Doctors can’t explain the dramatic rise in many of these diseases."
VACCINATION MYTH #8:
"Vaccines are the only disease prevention option available..."
...or are they?
Most parents feel compelled to take some disease-preventing action for
their children. While there is no 100% guarantee anywhere, there are viable
alternatives. Historically, homeopathy has proven many times to be more
effective than allopathic medicine in the treatment and prevention of disease,
with risk of harmful side effects. In a U.S. cholera outbreak in 1849,
allopathic medicine saw a 48-60% death rate, while homeopathic hospitals
had a documented death rate of only 3%. Roughly similar statistics still
hold true for cholera today. Recent epidemiological studies show homeopathic
remedies as equaling or surpassing standard vaccinations in preventing
disease. There are reports in which populations that were treated homeopathically
after exposure had a 100% success rate—none of the treated caught the disease.
There are homeopathic kits available for disease prevention. Homeopathic
remedies can also be taken only during times of increased risk (outbreaks,
traveling, etc.), and have proven highly effective in such instances. And
since these remedies have no toxic components, they have virtually no side
effects. In addition, homeopathy has been effective in reversing some of
the disability caused by vaccine reactions, not to mention many other chronic
conditions with which allopathic medicine has had little success.
VACCINATION TRUTH #8:
"Documented safe and effective alternatives to vaccination have been
available for decades. (However, they have been systematically attacked
and suppressed by the medical establishment.)"
VACCINATION MYTH #9:
"Vaccinations are legally mandated and unavoidable..."
...or are they?
Vaccine laws vary from state to state. While every state legally requires
vaccines, every state also has one or more legal exemptions from vaccines.
School and health officials will seldom volunteer exemption information,
and are often mistaken when they do, so it is important to check the laws
in your state to find out exactly what the requirements are. Each state
offers one or more of the following three kinds of exemptions:
1) Medical Exemption: All 50 states in the U.S. allow for a medical
exemption. However, few pediatricians check for indications of increased
risk before administering vaccines, so it is advisable for parents to research
this matter for themselves if they have reason to believe that their child
may be predisposed to vaccine reactions. Epilepsy, severe allergies, and
a previous adverse reaction in a child or sibling are but a few of the
many conditions in child or family history which may increase the chances
of an adverse reaction, and thus may qualify for a medical exemption from
one or more required vaccines. In general, though, medical exemptions are
difficult to get, may be available only to those who have already had a
serious vaccine reaction or who have a family history of serious vaccine
reactions, may be granted only for the specific vaccine believed to have
caused a previous reaction, and may be valid only as long as the condition
giving rise to the exemption persists (i.e., may be temporary).
2) Religious Exemption: 48 states allow for a religious exemption (all
but MS and WV). A state’s laws may state that membership in an established
religious organization is required. However, this requirement has been
held unconstitutional in New York federal courts; personal religious beliefs
are sufficient for a religious exemption, regardless of which religious
organization you belong to, or whether or not you belong to an organized
religion at all.,,, In one case, the plaintiffs were awarded money damages
when the court found that the state had violated their civil rights by
denying them a religious exemption.
3) Philosophical or Personal Exemption: Approximately 17 states allow
parents to refuse vaccination for personal or philosophical reasons.
It is worth noting that exempted children may be banned from attending
schools during local outbreaks. But all schools, public or private, must
comply with state vaccination laws and honor legal exemptions.
The best source for a copy of your state's vaccination laws is state
health officials. A phone call to the state Department of Epidemiology
or Immunization (the specific name varies from state to state) may be all
that it takes to get a copy mailed to you. Or, for a small fee, the NVIC
and New Atlantean Press will sell you a copy of your state’s immunization
laws (see contact information at the end of this article). Statutes can
be searched on the internet (for example, see www.findlaw.com), but these
sources many not always reflect very recent changes in the law, if there
have been any. Law libraries and lawyers are, of course, a good source
as well.
VACCINATION TRUTH #9:
"Legal exemptions from vaccinations are available for many—but not all—U.S.
citizens."
VACCINATION MYTH #10:
"Public health officials always place the public’s health above all
other concerns..."
...or do they?
Vaccination history is riddled with documented instances of deceit portraying
vaccines as mighty disease conquerors, when in fact vaccines have had little
or no discernable impact on—or have even delayed or reversed—pre-existing
disease declines. The United Kingdom's Department of Health admitted that
vaccination status determined the diagnosis of subsequent diseases: Those
found in vaccinated patients received alternate diagnoses; hospital records
and death certificates were falsified. Today, many doctors still refuse
to diagnose diseases in vaccinated children, and so the "Myth" about vaccine
success persists.
Conflicts of interest are the norm in the vaccine industry. Members
and Chairs of the FDA and CDC vaccine advisory committees own stock in
drug companies that make vaccines; individuals on both advisory committees
own patents for vaccines under consideration or affected by the decisions
these committees make. The CDC grants conflict-of-interest waivers to every
member of their advisory committee a year at a time, allowing full participation
in the discussions leading up to a vote by every member whether or not
they have a financial stake in the decision.
Concerns over vaccine adverse effects and conflicts of interest led
the American Society of Physicians and Surgeons to issue a Resolution to
Congress calling for a "moratorium on vaccine mandates and for physicians
to insist upon truly informed consent for the use of vaccines." Approved
by unanimous vote at the AAPS October 2000 annual meeting, the resolution
made references to the "increasing numbers of mandatory childhood vaccines,
to which children are…subjected without …information about potential adverse
side effects"; the fact that "safety testing of many vaccines is limited
and the data are unavailable for independent scrutiny, so that mass vaccination
is equivalent to human experimentation and subject to the Nuremberg Code,
which requires voluntary informed consent"; and the fact that "the process
of approving and ‘recommending’ vaccines is tainted with conflicts of interest."
In an October 1999 statement to Congress, Bart Classen, M.D., M.B.A.,
founder and CEO of Classen Immunotherapies and developer of vaccine technologies,
stated, "It is clear…that the government's immunization policies… are driven
by politics and not by science. I can give numerous examples where employees
of the US Public Health Service …appear to be furthering their careers
by acting as propaganda officers to support political agendas. In one case…employees
of a foreign government, who were funded and working closely with the US
Public Health Service, submitted false data to a major medical journal.
The true data indicated the vaccine was dangerous however the false data
that was submitted indicated there was no risk. An employee of the NIH
who manages large vaccine grants jointly published a misleading letter
about the subject with one of these foreign civil servants. As you are
aware it is illegal to falsify data from research funded by the US government."
Dr. Classen recommended that Congress hire a special prosecutor "to determine
if public health officials are following the laws enacted to ensure vaccines
are safe" and to determine "if public health officials along with manufacturers
are misleading the public about the safety of these products."
In France, 15,000 French citizens have sued their government over adverse
Hepatitis B vaccine reactions. Former public health officials there are
serving prison sentences following findings that they did not follow the
law to ensure the safety of the vaccine, and school-age Hep B vaccination
has been discontinued. U.S. military personnel may be even worse off: "…four
letters from the FDA/Public Health Service…clearly reveal that the anthrax
vaccine was approved for marketing without the manufacturer performing
a single controlled clinical trial." Clinical trials are, of course, absolutely
critical to determining the safety and effectiveness of any pharmaceutical
product. Military personnel have been, and continue to be, unwitting subjects
in an unethical experiment.
VACCINATION TRUTH #10:
"Many of the public health officials who determine vaccine policy profit
substantially from their policy decisions."
SOME CLOSING REMARKS
In the December 1994 Medical Post, Canadian author of the best-seller
Medical
Mafia, Guylaine Lanctot, M.D., stated, "The medical authorities keep
lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on the immune system. It actually
causes a lot of illnesses. We are actually changing our genetic code through
vaccination...100 years from now we will know that the biggest crime against
humanity was vaccines." After critically analyzing literally ten’s of thousands
of pages of the vaccine medical literature, Dr. Viera Scheibner concluded
that "there is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent
any diseases. To the contrary, there is a great wealth of evidence that
they cause serious side effects." Dr. Classen has stated, "My data proves
that the studies used to support immunization are so flawed that it is
impossible to say if immunization provides a net benefit to anyone or to
society in general. This question can only be determined by proper studies
which have never been performed. The flaw of previous studies is that there
was no long-term follow up and chronic toxicity was not looked at. The
American Society of Microbiology has promoted my research...and thus acknowledges
the need for proper studies." To some these may seem like radical positions,
but they are not unfounded. The continued denial and suppression of the
evidence against vaccines only perpetuates the "Myths" of their "success"
and, more importantly, their negative consequences on our children and
society. Aggressive and comprehensive scientific investigation into adverse
vaccine events is clearly warranted, yet immunization programs continue
to expand in the absence of such research. Manufacturer profits are enormous,
while accountability for the negative effects is conspicuously absent.
This is especially sad given the readily available safe and effective alternatives.
The positions asserted above are not coming from a handful of fringe
lunatics; entire professional organizations are speaking out. Criticisms
of vaccines are being sounded by an increasing number of credible and reputable
scientists, researchers, investigators, and self-educated parents from
around the world. Instead, it is public health officials and die-hard vaccine
advocates (many of whom have a financial stake in the outcome of the debate)
who are beginning to lose credibility by refusing to acknowledge the growing
body of evidence and to address the very real, serious, documented problems.
Meanwhile, the race is on. There are over 200 new vaccines being developed
for everything from birth control to cocaine addition. Some 100 of these
are already in clinical trials. Researchers are working on vaccine delivery
through nasal sprays, mosquitoes (yes, mosquitoes), and the fruits of "transgenic"
plants in which vaccine viruses are grown. With every adult and child on
the planet a potential recipient of vaccines administered periodically
throughout their lives, and every healthcare system and government a potential
buyer, it is little wonder that countless millions of dollars are spent
nurturing the growing multi-billion dollar vaccine industry. Without public
outcry, we will see more and more new vaccines required of us all. And
while profits are readily calculable, the real human costs are ignored
or suppressed.
Whatever your personal vaccination decision, make it an informed one;
you have that right and responsibility. It is a difficult issue, but there
is more than enough at stake to justify whatever time and energy it takes.

Testimony
of Barbara Loe Fisher to California legislature:
Personally, I come
here as a parent of a son who had a neurological reaction to his fourth
DPT shot at age two and a half that caused brain dysfunction, including
multiple learning disabilities and attention deficit
disorder (ADD), but who was fortunate not to lose his life or be left
with mental retardation, uncontrolled epilepsy, autism, or other severe
disabilities like so many of the vaccine injured children I have come to
know. When my son had his vaccine reaction in 1980, children in America
were told to get 23 doses of 7 vaccines. Today, children are told to get
37 doses of 11 vaccines. In those 22 years since my son had his vaccine
reaction, the numbers of American children with learning disabilities,
attention deficit disorder and asthma have doubled; diabetes has tripled;
and the incidence of autism has reached epidemic proportions, increasing
200 to 600 percent in every state, marking a staggering 3400 percent increase
in the prevalence of autism in our children.
Nobody knows why this has happened. But everyone at the Centers for
Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics, the two medical groups
that make vaccine policy in this country, vigorously deny that the many
vaccines they have urged be mandated in the past quarter century could
have anything to do with why more and more of our so children are chronically
ill. They say that vaccines only rarely cause chronic health problems.
Yet, the haunting question remains: if we have wiped out polio and almost
eliminated measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and other childhood
diseases with vaccines - why are so many of our children stuck on sick?
Why are our special education classrooms so crowded that we can't find
enough money or train teachers fast enough to care for these learning disabled,
hyperactive, autistic, asthmatic, diabetic, emotionally disturbed, sick
children?
Something is wrong with this public health report card. And before we
go any further and mandate one more vaccine for daycare or kindergarten
entry - whether it is Prevnar or hepatitis A or some other vaccine - we
had better find out if the repeated manipulation of the immune system with
lab altered viruses and bacteria adulterated with mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde
and other toxins, which are administered to our babies from birth through
the first five years of life when the brain and immune system is developing
at its most rapid rate, is contributing to these skyrocketing increases
in chronic illness in our children. Without basic science research into
the biological mechanisms of vaccine injury and death and without methodologically
sound, long term studies which follow groups of highly vaccinated, lesser
vaccinated and unvaccinated children over time to measure for all morbidity
and mortality outcomes, it is illogical and scientifically irresponsible
to assume that there is no connection between the ever increasing numbers
of vaccines we mandate for children and the ever increasing rates of chronic
disease in our children. Making this kind of scientific investigation a
societal program and funding priority would, at the very least, give us
a better understanding of the genetic and other biological factors which
predispose certain children to vaccine-induced immune and brain dysfunction,
including whether there is a complex interaction between genetic factors,
a particular vaccine or combination of vaccines and simultaneous exposures
to environmental contaminants such as pesticides, molds and other toxic
insults. Testimony
of Barbara Loe Fisher to California legislature
Dr. Tenpenny - "If a “dirty bomb” exposed a large segment of
US citizens simultaneously to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, tetanus, pertussis,
diphtheria, Haemophilus influenza B, three strains of polio viruses, 3
strains of influenza viruses, measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, the
chickenpox virus, and 7 strains of Streptococcus bacteria, we would declare
a national emergency. We would call it an “extreme act of BIOTERRORISM”.
The public outcry would be immense and our government would act accordingly.
And yet, those are the very organisms that we inject through vaccines into
our babies and our small children, with immature, underdeveloped immune
systems. Many are given all at the same time. But instead of bioterrorism,
we call it “protection.” Reflect a moment on that irony." VACCINATIONS
AND THE RIGHT TO REFUSE
What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Dr Kalokerinos MD-
"Doctors and nurses vaccinate babies without a thought that what they are
doing might be highly dangerous and abusive yet neither they nor anyone
else is willing to take responsibility if something terrible happens. My
final conclusion after forty years or more in medicine is that the unofficial
policy of the World Health Organization and the Save the Children's Fund
is one of murder and genocide."

Vaccine
Reaction Register The Vaccine Reaction Register (VRR) has
been set up to allow parent, relatives and victims of vaccine injuries
record details of their own reactions to vaccination! Why? So we can try
to identify trends and patterns of which vaccines are causing what side
effects with the aim being able to draw valid statistics from the data
gained and preventing vaccine injury in the future.

The Truth
About the Drug Companies : How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It
"The medical establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose
main objective is profits, and whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic
of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this, anything
goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople
of the drug companies. " Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.
Raising
Public Awareness Most modern maladies are
caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and
toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides,
antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack
of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by
the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease"
and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against
them. more
A
growing number of holistic doctors, pediatricians and veterinarians use
transfer
factors as an alternative to, or in conjunction with conventional
medicine for their acute and chronic cases, including cancer and other
serious health conditions, with excellent outcome.
Dr. Rob Robertson, MD
- "There is no other product in a nutritional substance, nor a drug, that
has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With the
increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food
contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune
system." Transfer factors and the immune sytem
Dr.
Howard Peiper MD "Our immune systems are under attack from toxic substances
that are everywhere - in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water
we drink. Serious disease doesn't just happen. The accumulation of toxins
compromises our immune system and wears the body down leaving us vulnerable
to all sorts of maladies. The body has an amazing ability to recover from
illness and restore itself if we give it the tools to work with."
