Vaccinations
"Even if all the experts agree, they may well be mistaken."--Bertrand Russell
"Do Not Take Any Vaccinations. This is the standard deceptive way you are given the Establishment's Biological Warfare infections." Dr. William D. Kelly
"Like sheep being led to slaughter, people are following the advice of medical pundits as though they are gods with divine intellect. Why is it that so few dare even question what's in a shot before allowing a doctor to jab you with a needle?."--Greg Ciola
Vaccination Side Effects:
If you were informed that mercury in vaccines might double the risk of your son developing motor tics, increase his risk of "phonic tics" by nearly two-and-a-half times, and possibly cause speech, attention or behavioral problems in school, would you still allow him to be injected with the heavy metal -- which, by the way, is 100 times more neurotoxic than that lead coating on his Chinese toys?
And what if your government's most trusted public health agency, the CDC, announced it had funded a study that replicated the findings of a 2003 CDC analysis, which also detected an association between vaccine mercury and tics, and that researchers were now suggesting "the potential need for further studies" between thimerosal and the neurological disorder?
And what if the investigators also said they detected a small but statistically significant association between early thimerosal exposure and impaired "behavioral regulation" in boys?
Or what if they said that increased neonatal exposure (28 weeks or younger) was associated with "significantly lower scores in verbal IQ scores in girls," and "significantly poorer performance" in articulation tests among all children?
And what if the authors further noted that speech problems were also found in the 2003 CDC study, where they said thimerosal exposure was associated with "an increased risk of language delays" at one test site?
Finally, what if those same authors claimed that their findings "suggest a possible adverse association between neonatal exposure to mercury and language development?"
An 8 pound baby injected with the hepatitis B vaccine at birth is exposed to 35 times the EPA daily safety level for mercury, (calculated by bodyweight) while a 4 pound infant is slammed with 70 times the EPA level.
Boys who received the highest amounts of thimerosal in the first seven months of life are determined by evaluators to be 2.19 times more likely to have motor tics at age 7-10 years, and 2.44 times more likely to have phonic tics, than boys with the lowest exposures. Any relative risk between exposure and outcome that exceeds 2.0, incidentally, is considered to be proof of causation in US courts of law.
The Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders defines "simple" motor tics as "brief, meaningless movements like eye blinking, facial grimacing, head jerks or shoulder shrugs," that usually last less than a second. It says that "complex" motor tics cause slower, longer, more intense movements, "like sustained looks, facial gestures, biting, banging, whirling or twisting around, or copropraxia (obscene gestures)."
On the phonic side, "simple" tics are called, "meaningless sounds or noises like throat clearing, coughing, sniffling, barking, or hissing." Complex phonic tics include, "syllables, words, phrases, and such statements as 'Shut up!' or 'Now you've done it!' The child's speech may be abnormal, with unusual rhythms, tones, accents or intensities."
There is also the "echo phenomenon," (so familiar to autism parents) characterized by "the immediate repetition of one's own or another's words." Coprolalia, meanwhile, is a tic "made up of obscene, inappropriate or aggressive words and statements."
Severe behavioral problems are sometimes associated with tics, as well, and "there is some evidence that temper tantrums, aggressiveness, and explosive behavior appear in preadolescence and intensify in adolescence."
Finally, many children with both phonic and motor tics are diagnosed with Tourette's disorder, which frequently causes "aggressiveness, self-harming behaviors, emotional immaturity, social withdrawal, physical complaints, conduct disorders, affective disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, stuttering, sleep disorders, migraine headaches, and inappropriate sexual behaviors," the Encyclopedia says.
(Interestingly, Tourette's disorder is three-to-four times more common in males than females, the same ratio as autism, ADD and ADHD).
Now, if "simple" tics include head jerks and barking; and "complex" tics can entail biting, banging and screaming obscenities; and if thimerosal can more than double the chance of tics in boys; then Atlanta, we have a very big problem.
It's perplexing that the CDC can report replicating a doubled risk for tics in boys, and an increased risk for speech disorders and attention and behavior problems in other kids, and still insist that this is all "very reassuring news."
We believe vaccines are the greatest contribution to public health because we believe they prevent the spread of infectious disease; we believe vaccines eradicated smallpox and polio in the western world. We have been so thoroughly conditioned to believe that vaccines work we have never questioned how, or IF, they really do work.
Under the guise of public health, genocidal agendas are being facilitated all over the world, often at gunpoint, through the mass and mandated delivery of vaccines, toxic chemical pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs, fluoride, mercury, processed foods and contaminated water.
Two-hundred years of historical evidence and published medical literature support the following theses:
1. Vaccines cause, rather than prevent the spread of disease.
2. Vaccines prepare the body for infertility, chronic illness, behavioral/neurological disorders and/or sudden death.
Regardless that the first mass vaccination program, using Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccine in England, was officially declared a public health disaster by a Royal commission in 1896, the vaccine myth has survived. Today there are vaccines for many diseases and they contain the most toxic substances on earth. Among them are ethyl mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, live and dead viruses cultured in animal tissue and aborted human fetal tissue, phenols, monosodium glutamate, aspartame and ammonium sulfate. It is not uncommon for children to receive several vaccines in one day. It is, therefore, not uncommon for them to have injected into their bodies up to 60 times the safe allowable limit of mercury-the most toxic non-radioactive substance known to man.
If the public were fully informed of all the ingredients that go into flu shots, there would be a mass outrage against them. Unfortunately, your doctor will not tell you anything about this. The news media will not report the truth about these contaminants. The Centers for Disease Control is concealing data. Pharmaceutical companies don't properly warn consumers. Mass retailers pushing the shots don't care even after being warned about the potential dangers of administering vaccines. Churches across America think they are doing a service for the Lord by telling their congregants to go out and get a shot and have their churches being used as distribution outlets.
The theory is that small amounts of disease matter introduced into the body will enter the blood, creating antibodies that prevent the proliferation of the disease's wild form, thus preventing one from contracting the disease against which he has been vaccinated; this process allegedly creates an artificial immunity to the disease.
"Vaccine Nation" Trailer
When one develops a holistic understanding of how body systems work in concert to prevent toxic materials from entering the bloodstream, it becomes obvious that the antibody theory of disease prevention is absurd. Even the CDC recognizes that the presence of disease antibodies, the creation of which comprise the entire justification for vaccines, does not necessarily result in immunity from the disease.The toxic materials of vaccines forever circulating in our bodies, coupled with malnutrition, dehydration, constant exposure to other toxins and/or stress, create the bodily environment conducive to the development of neuroses, cancer, asthma, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases currently epidemic in the world.
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, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports, and reputable research scientists from around the world. In fact, infectious diseases declined steadily for decades prior to vaccinations, U.S. doctors 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 conditions to mass immunization programs. Documented safe and effective alternatives to vaccination have been available for decades but suppressed by the medical and pharmaceutical establishments.
Repeatedly, you hear of people getting the flu after getting a shot while those who didn’t get a shot didn’t "get the flu." Some say the reason the folks who "caught the flu" after getting the shots is because their immune system was too weak to respond properly or the vaccine was not designed to work against the strain of flu going around that year.
_
There are so many strains of constantly mutating viruses and bacteria. And now—thanks to sorcerer’s apprentices playing gods with DNA, bacteriological warfare experiments, genetically modified cross species vectors etc.—guessing which virus or viruses will strike in any season is akin to guessing the outcome of the lottery.
_
Another deception perpetuated by the vaccine cartel is that the flu shot contains inactive or dead viruses. If these viruses were completely inactive, then the shot would never stimulate an immune response. The flu shot contains "attenuated" virus. Attenuated means half-killed. The infectious agent is weakened so that it is just below the threshold of being able to trigger an inflammatory response in 99% of people. By allowing the implantation of an attenuated virus or bacteria into the body, we have done something nature would never permit. We have violated the sanctity of the bloodstream. We have tricked the immune system into not mounting an all-out response to a foreign agent. If the vaccine's microorganisms were not attenuated, the powers of the natural immune system would join together to repel and attack the invader.
Theoretically if the entire virus is killed it shouldn’t infect you when the nurse injects it into your body. How do scientists attempt to kill the virus? They mix it with formaldehyde, a dangerous carcinogen, and other poisons, such as ethylene glycol (antifreeze), a kidney destroyer. Formaldehyde is classified as a toxic, colorless, water-soluble gas, which has a suffocating odor. It's used predominantly in embalming fluid and vaccines as a disinfectant and preservative.
_
Because scientists breed bacteria and virus strains in such nasty things as rotten eggs, sheep guts, monkey brains and fetal diploid tissue (minced aborted babies), they have to preserve it. The cheapest way is thimerosal, a mercury derivative that is a highly toxic heavy metal that attacks every organ and system in your body. Mercury is strongly implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and the epidemic of autism in vaccinated children. To make thimerosal, scientists start with elemental mercury. Then, they hop it up 1,000 times by converting it to ethyl mercury. Then, they add aluminum to the the vaccine that has a synergistic effect with the mercury, causing it to be 10,000 times more toxic than elemental mercury. Mercury is used to sterilize the flu vaccine. Consider this insanity: Researchers tell us that it's unsafe to touch or swallow the mercury from a broken thermometer yet it's perfectly acceptable to inject the same poison directly into your body through a vaccine. How is the human body supposed to build immunity by being exposed to neuro-toxic poisons like mercury and formaldehyde? Don't worry. Your doctor knows what's best for you!
Dr. Leonard Horowitz uncovered documents proving that the disease we know as AIDS was developed for the U.S. military by its chemical and biological weapons contractors. The disease was intentionally delivered (free of charge) to the world in the late 70s. Hundreds of thousands of Africans were infected with AIDS through contaminated smallpox vaccine; contaminated hepatitis B vaccine was given (again, free of charge) to gays and drug addicts in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020, AIDS will have killed 28.5 million Africans-a number greater than all the deaths from all wars in the last 100 years. It is estimated that 40 million people in the world are currently living with AIDS and numbers of new infections are on the rise.
The percentage of an element found in a compound is based on the % weight the element gives to the total weight of the compound. The sodium salt of thimerosal contains the following elements:

The above gives a formula weight for the sodium salt of thimerosal of 404.59, and mercury contributes 200.59. Dividing 200.49 by 404.59 = 0.4959 and converting to % this equals 49.59%. Therefore, mercury is 49.59% of the weight of thimerosal as determined using conventional chemical calculations.
The toxicity of mercury from ingestion, i.e. that level set by the EPA in the USA is 0.1 microgram Hg per kilogram body weight per day based on ingestion of methylmercury from a fish diet. Notice that the level of mercury is presented in a fraction of grams. Therefore, to determine the toxicity of mercury in thimerosal or ethylmercury you have to determine the amount of mercury in fractions of grams. This is the way that all toxicologists do this. The amount of mercury by weight in the vaccines would make it safe by EPA standards if the subject getting the shot weighed 125 kilograms or 275 lbs.
Thimerosal is known to rapidly release ethylmercury in aqueous systems. Ethylmercury is extremely neurotoxic, killing neurons at 10-25 nanomolar levels. A vaccine is 125,000 nanomolar in thimerosal and injecting one vaccine (12.5 micrograms) into one 4-6 lb infant would represent a very toxic exposure. Unlike many elements (N,O,C, etc.) Hg has no known usefulness in biological systems, being toxic to them all. Also, all occurring forms of Hg (methylmercury, ethylmercury, thimerosal dental amalgams, Hg vapor, Hg2+, etc.) have been reported to be extremely toxic.
To give this concoction a kick they add a dose of aluminum, another poisonous metal also strongly correlated with Alzheimer’s made many times worse when associated with mercury and fluoride. To this witches’ brew, they have to add antibiotics to keep the bacteria from growing. In 2004, the antibiotics didn’t work, so over 46 million vaccines were recalled due to bacterial contamination.

If flu vaccines infect people with weaker immune systems, why does the government say the elderly and babies should go to the head of the line? People who believe in conspiracies might say killing off the elderly will stave off the bankruptcy of Social Security; and killing off the babies who survive the abortion mills will make it easier to replace Americans with cheap foreign workers.
_
If you don’t get the flu shot, you won’t necessarily come down with the flu. Whether you become ill depends on how strong your immune system is. So you might say that it’s not a virus that gives you the flu; a weak immune system is what gives you the flu. The key is immunity.
Vaccines caused substantial increases in polio after years of steady declines, and they are the sole cause of polio in the U.S. today. The long term adverse effects of vaccinations have been virtually ignored, in spite of direct correlations with many chronic conditions. There are hundreds of published medical studies documenting vaccine failure and adverse effects, and dozens of books written by doctors, researchers, and independent investigators that reveal serious flaws in immunization theory and practice. Ironically, most pediatricians and parents are completely unaware of these findings. However, this has begun to change in recent years, as a growing number of parents and healthcare providers around the world are becoming aware of the problems and starting to question the use of widespread, mandatory vaccinations.
The medical literature has a surprising number of studies documenting vaccine failure. Measles, mumps, small pox, 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 percent vaccinated population.
If vaccinations really work, those vaccinated will be immune to the disease, so what does it matter if some people choose to go unvaccinated? What do the vaccinated have to worry about? Aren't they protected? Shouldn't people have the choice whether or not to have their children vaccinated--a choice based on full disclosure of risks and benefits?
As we mature and age, the immune foundation we develop during our first years of life will remain vitally important. At birth, certain immune defense mechanisms are already in place. Substances secreted in the skin and mucous membranes serve as the first line of defense, and white blood cells that destroy foreign agents by engulfing them (phagocytosis) and other functions are a second line of defense. Although newborns aren't able to produce all the antibodies and other immune defenses they will need, they are already capable of recognizing more than a million different identifying characteristics of foreign substances, or antigens. Infants who are breast-fed receive maternal antibodies and immune-cell stimulating substances from breast milk. For the first few months of life, these maternal antibodies can provide passive immunity against many specific infections. During the first year of life, babies develop their own antibodies. Other immune defenses also continue to develop as body cells mature and as the child is exposed to numerous bacteria, yeast and fungi in the environment, which stimulate long-term or even life-long immune-cell memory. The subsequent resistance to a specific antigen is called natural immunity. By contrast, artificial immunity--as conferred by vaccination against disease such as polio and pertussis--is quite different. Vaccinated immunity relies only on antibody response to inoculation with specific antigen strains. But there are intrinsic problems with vaccination theory.
The immune system is not a one-truck fire station: Antibodies aren't the only way to snuff out invading agents. There are many, many immune defense mechanisms (including biological response modifiers such as interferon, produced by white blood cells) and different biochemical messengers (including hormones and neurotransmitters). All are involved in maintaining strong natural immunity. A larger problem with vaccination, however, is that it appears to have an adverse effect on immune function. In the case of childhood vaccination, it is thought that current vaccines cause serious defects in immune development and function. While the assumption has always been that we can have both vaccinated immunity and a healthy immune system, this is apparently untrue. When an immune system, especially a developing one, is bombarded with "inactivated" antigens suspended in solutions of toxic additives, contaminants and solvents, immune function can become impaired. We're programmed to think of immunization and vaccination as synonyms. That's no accident. It cost plenty to make us think they're the same. The word "immunization" instead of "vaccination" is now pervasive in both medical and mainstream literature, creating a semantic reality that cannot be supported by evidence. There's a big difference between the two. Immunization means to make someone immune to something. Vaccination, by contrast, according to Dorland's Medical Dictionary, just means to inject "a suspension of attenuated or killed microorganisms, administered for prevention, or treatment of infectious disease." Vaccination does not guarantee immunity.
Natural immunity happens only after one recovers from the actual disease. During the disease, the foreign substance usually has to pass through many of the body's natural immune defense systems--in the nose, throat lungs, digestive tract and lymph tissue--before it reaches the bloodstream. As it does, the substance triggers many biological events that are essential in building true natural immunity. When a child gets a new immune challenge, he may feel sick for several days, but, in the vast majority of cases, he will recover. 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 determine the long-term consequences. Vaccination history is riddled with documented instances of deceit designed to portray vaccines as mighty disease conquerors, when many times they have actually delayed and even reversed disease declines. 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. Doctors cannot warn you about what they themselves do not know, and with little time for further education once they begin practice, they are in a sense held captive by a system which discourages them from acquiring information independently and forming their own opinions. As medical students, few doctors have reason to question the information taught.
The first vaccines by Pasteur and Koch, and also most modern ones, were and are made up of experimental proteins from rotting, diseased samples of animal tissue (cows, sheep, monkeys and horses) carrying some "weakened" infectious agent. Others are toxic by-products of microorganisms that are neutralized by formaldehyde and aluminum. Most vaccines have components called adjuvants, or helpers. These include human blood and formaldehyde, a carcinogenic liquid, used for embalming. Mercury is used as an adjuvant; it is added in the form of thimerosal, a preservative. It can cause nerve damage, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Another adjuvant, aluminum, is a proven neurotoxin, positively associated with a number of disorders. The thinking behind vaccination is that if the person gets a "minor" case of the disease under the "controlled" conditions of vaccination, he will produce his own antibodies to the disease agent, and this will confer immunity because his immune system will remember what the "bad bug" looks like. The next time the bug shows up, immune defense cells will be ready to kill it. But there is no general agreement that this truly happens as a result of vaccination. Ironically, medicine is a field that demands conformity; there is little tolerance for opinions opposing the status quo.
Those few who dare to question the status quo are frequently ostracized, and in any case they are still legally bound to adhere to the system's legal mandates. Unless parents sign exemption forms, children must be vaccinated before they can get into school. This is the law, and lobbying controls legislation. The second most powerful lobby in Washington is the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical companies are inventing new vaccines every year, all with the hope of their being included in the mandated vaccination schedule. It's very big money. And there are more vaccines on the back burner. Yet there are never long-term safety studies before vaccines get approved for mass use. There are also never any follow-up studies about long-term effectiveness of vaccines. This is why vaccines are always being altered and replaced--they cause negative side effects.
That is why, since 1986, the U.S. Federal Government's National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) has paid out over $1.2 billion in taxpayer dollars to parents of vaccine-injured and killed children. As of December 2000, 40 vaccinations are currently mandated for children in the American Pediatric Association's immunization (i.e. vaccination) schedule. The word mandated doesn't mean mandatory, but for all intents and purposes, it might as well. Seven of these are legally required for schoolchildren in nearly all fifty states. Vaccination is so accepted, is seen as so necessary by most people, that they don't even question it. If they do, the consequences can be ostracism or worse. The reactions to this multitude of shots are what can spell trouble for the infant. Children, by law, must be vaccinated against the five traditional childhood diseases of mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria and pertussis, plus tetanus and polio.
Health authorities credit vaccines for disease declines, and assure us of their safety and effectiveness. Yet health statistics, medical studies, FDA and CDC reports, and reputable research scientists from around the world directly contradict these seemingly rock-solid assumptions. US doctors 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 immunologic and neurologic conditions to mass immunization programs. There are hundreds of published medical studies documenting vaccine failure and adverse effects, and dozens of books written by doctors, researchers and independent investigators that reveal serious flaws in immunization theory and practice. Chances are you won't hear any information about vaccines from a pediatrician during a "well baby" visit. After all, an M.D. could be committing career suicide by taking a stand against vaccination. It's a $30 billion a year industry. Ironically, most pediatricians and parents are completely unaware of these findings. However, this has begun to change in recent years as a growing number of parents and healthcare providers around the world are becoming aware of the problems and are starting to question the use of widespread, mandatory vaccinations.
Unbelievably, not until recently was there a centralized U.S. record-keeping agency to which physicians could report vaccine reactions. It wasn't until 1991 that the CDC and FDA's VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System) was set up. It receives about 11,000 reports of serious adverse reactions to vaccination annually, some 1% (112+) of which are deaths from vaccine reactions. Some 33,000 reactions were reported between 1992 and 1996. Before then, it's anybody's guess how many reactions and deaths there were, because no agency was keeping track. Many of the adverse reactions to vaccination probably haven't even shown up yet. After all, someone may not get a disease as a result of a vaccine that contained atypical forms of a disease agent or other contaminants until years after vaccination. And for many vaccines, a 48-hour limit has been arbitrarily set for reporting a reaction. If a baby dies 50 hours after a shot, that death is not reported as an adverse reaction. Doctors make the majority of these reports, and the majority of deaths are attributed to the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine--the "P in DPT. This figure alone is alarming, yet it is only the "tip of the iceberg." Pertussis toxin is used to create encephalitis in lab animals. The FDA estimates that only about 10% of adverse reactions are reported--a figure supported by two National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) investigations. In fact, the NVIC reported that, "In New York, only one out of 40 doctor's offices (2.5%) confirmed that they report a death or injury following vaccination"--so 97.5% of vaccine-related deaths and disabilities go unreported there. Doctors are legally required to report serious adverse events. These findings suggest that vaccine deaths actually occurring each year in the US may be well over 1,000.
With pertussis, the number of vaccine-related deaths dwarfs the number of disease deaths, which have been about 10 annually for recent years according to the CDC, and only eight in 1993, the last peak-incidence year. (Pertussis runs in three-to-four-year cycles) Simply put, the vaccine is 100 times more deadly than the disease. The vast majority of disease declines this century occurred before compulsory vaccinations. This enormous number of vaccine casualties can hardly be considered a necessary sacrifice for the benefit of a disease-free society. Before mass vaccination programs, the term Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) didn't exist. Now, at least 10,000 American babies mysteriously die each year with the catch-all SIDS diagnosis. One study found the peak incidence of SIDS occurrs at the ages of two and four months in the US--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 four days of vaccination each year in the US, while yet another researcher's studies led to the conclusion that half of SIDS cases--that would be 2,500 to 5,000 infant deaths in the US each year--are caused by vaccines.
In the mid-1970s the Japanese raised their vaccination age from two months to two years; their incidence of SIDS dropped dramatically. In spite of this, the US medical community has chosen a posture of denial. Coroners refuse to 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 a choice. Low adverse-event reporting also suggests that the total number of adverse reactions actually occurring in the US each year may be more than 100,000. Due to doctors' failure to report, no one knows how many of these are permanent disabilities, but statistics suggest that these are several times the number of deaths. One study showed 1 in 175 children who completed the full DPT series suffered severe reactions, and a doctor's report for attorneys which found that one in 300 DPT immunizations resulted in seizures. Some of the most frequent complications of vaccinations seem to be diseases of the central nervous system. It's easy to understand why, in the case of children. Their nervous systems are in the process of forming, and nerve tissue is sensitive to minute changes in its biological environment. The insulation around the nerves--the myelin--is not complete yet. The presence in the blood of a diseased vaccine protein, plus the toxins mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde can trigger processes that contribute to abnormal nerve growth. Harris Coulter, Ph.D., has chronicled a skyrocketing incidence of post-vaccination neurological disorders, including hyperactivity, learning disabilities, mental retardation, encephalitis and Guillain-Barre' syndrome.
Studies
Many health professionals are speaking out about their concern that childhood vaccines harm the developing immune system. At the same time, questions are being raised about the skyrocketing rate of chronic illness and disease among children. It doesn't seem likely those processed foods, environmental toxins, dental toxins, psychological stress and over used antibiotic drugs are the only culprits. Illnesses tend to begin when babies are three or four months old--the point at which maternal antibodies are beginning to wear out, leaving babies susceptible to environmental substances. These babies aren't developing their own antibodies in response to the challenges. Investigators need to spend more time investigating immune system reactions to vaccines. Investigations thus far have produced the same conclusion: Vaccines can trigger immune suppression.
A 1996 study in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that tetanus vaccine disables the immune system by producing a drop in immune T cells, a classic marker of immune deficiency, in 10 of 13 patients. In one study, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, it was shown that the measles vaccine has a long-term depressed interferon production. The vaccination of one-year-olds with measles vaccine caused a precipitous drop in their level of alpha-interferon production. This decline was still persisting one year following vaccination, when the study was terminated. Results of a study in New Zealand, published in 1997 in Epidemiology, point to higher rates of asthma and allergy episodes among vaccinated children. And in a study using the Mumps-Measles-Rubella (MMR) vaccine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, researchers investigated the association between childhood asthma and live-virus viral strains may be contributory to the rise in IgE (antibody)-mediated disorders. Other researchers are saying that vaccines are disabling our bodies' ability to react normally to disease, thereby creating autoimmune conditions. In 1994, a committee of investigators at the Institutes of Medicine directly associated vaccines with the rising occurrence of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, that attack and destroy the myelin sheaths (insulation) of nerves. They said "it's plausible that injection of an inactivated virus, bacterium, or live attenuated virus might induce in the susceptible host an autoimmune response by deregulation of the immune response, by nonspecific activation of the T cells directed against myelin proteins, or by autoimmunity triggered by sequence similarities of proteins in the vaccine to host proteins such as those of myelin."
A study published in the New Zealand Medical Journal in 1996 revealed that an epidemic of diabetes followed a massive campaign to vaccinate children against hepatitis-B. The study showed a 60% increase in childhood insulin-dependent diabetes, an autoimmune disease, occurring in the years following the 1989-1991-vaccination program of children aged 6 to 16. Others have shown that widespread use of the Hemophilus meningitis vaccine has resulted in diabetes epidemics. Diabetes has also been frequently observed a a consequence of the mumps vaccine: Three European studies reported 22 cases of diabetes that began within 30 days of mumps vaccination. These are just a very few studies amidst the growing proof that tampering with the immune system ca cause devastating disease. These statistics are missing in the pediatric profession. Adverse reactions usually don't get reported and are routinely met with denial: There are many documented case histories of mothers given the brush-off when reporting a vaccine reaction to their pediatricians. Vaccinations are the bread and butter of pediatricians. In 1998, the worldwide market for pediatric vaccines was $1.8 billion. Vaccines are the very foundation of the "well baby" programs and the livelihood of the entire pediatric industry. The declining health of our children is becoming obvious. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the figures for asthma incidence since 1980 have gone from 6.7 million to 17.3 million cases. Most of the increase is in children. More than 5,000 die each year from asthma attacks. The overall health of American children is pathetic: Asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease and the very infectious diseases for which they were vaccinated--are all on the rise. These include certain cancers, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), lupus and the motor neuron disease, Guillain Barre' syndrome.
Immune Theory
According to the Immune Theory, natural immunity is developed through actual contact and contracting the disease. The mucus membranes of the nose, nasal and air passages assist the body and the immune system in preparing the correct response. These systems are bypassed with artificial immunity. Artificial immunity is a science project with an unknown length of protection, while natural immunity is nature taking its course and generally leads to lifetime protection. Vaccination immunity is clearly less than complete, as 1988 CDC figures showed that of 795 reported cases of pertussis in infants aged three to six months, Forty-nine percent of them had been fully vaccinated. The concept behind vaccination is to "scientifically improve" immune response by introducing foreign protein, such as the theoretical, disease-causing bacterium or "virus" called an antigen, into the body. The clinical evidence for vaccinations is their ability to stimulate antibody production in the recipient--a fact that is not disputed. What is not clear, however, is whether or not such antibody production constitutes immunity. For example, agammaglobulin-anemic children are incapable of producing antibodies, yet they recover from infectious diseases almost as quickly as do other children. The immune system is then supposed to wage a mini-campaign against the foreign matter and develop antibodies tailored for that disease organism, for future reference, in case the child contacts the pathogens in the environment.
Artificial immunity from vaccination has created the modern phenomenon of atypical forms of the original condition appearing during adulthood. The process of creating a vaccine involves making a disease agent gradually weaker and weaker, disguising it until it is below the threshold of making your body become ill when the vaccine is injected into your blood. That means your immune system does not get triggered normally. By allowing the inoculation of an attenuated (half-killed) substance into the body, we have done something nature would never permit. We have violated the sanctity of the bloodstream. We have tricked the immune system into not mounting an all-out response to a foreign agent. If the vaccine's microorganisms were not attenuated, all the powers of the natural immune system would join together to attack the invader.
Harvard Medical School's Richard Moskowitz, M.D., explains that the way vaccines are evolved is to make them weaker, just to the point where they don't produce any immediate inflammatory response. He believes that, in this form, the altered virus or bacteria can penetrate deeper into our tissues than would naturally be possible. They can remain latent for a short time or for years. Then when something triggers them into action, they can manifest themselves in virtually any place or system of the body, causing major dysfunction degenerative disease, or even death. In his book, The Lives of a Cell, Dr. Lewis Thomas discusses our contemporary obsession with the lowly microorganism and its "dangerous" but imagined, relation to disease. He reminds us that the microbial inhabitants of our world are part of a symbiotic arrangement and that every creature is connected to and dependent upon the rest. Another paragraph explains: "It has been estimated that we probably have real knowledge of only a small proportion of the microbes of the earth, because most of them cannot be cultivated alone. With our present technology, we can no more isolate one from the rest, and rear it alone, than we can keep a single bee from drying up like a desquamated cell when removed from his hive."
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 immunity is a complex phenomenon involving many organs and systems; it cannot be fully replicated by the artificial stimulation of antibody production. Research also indicates that vaccination commits immune cells to the specific antigens involved in the vaccine, rendering them incapable of reacting to other infections. Our immunological reserve may thus actually be reduced, causing a generally lowered resistance. Another component of immunization theory is herd immunity, which states that when enough people in a community are immunized, all are protected. There are many documented instances showing just the opposite: fully vaccinated populations do contract diseases. With measles, this actually seems to be the direct result of high vaccination rates. The Genetic Theory Of Disease comes into play and the mental retardation can be blamed on faulty genes of the mother, the father or the grandparents. There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculation can be credited with eliminating any infectious disease. If vaccinations were responsible for the disappearance of these diseases in the U.S., why did these diseases disappear simultaneously in Europe, where mass vaccinations did not take place?
Natural Immunity
Natural immunity is a complex phenomenon involving many organs and systems; it cannot be fully replicated by the artificial stimulation of antibody production. Vaccination by direct injection is based on the unproven assumption that the mere artificial stimulation of antibodies by the sudden presence of a foreign agent in the bloodstream confers immunity. It doesn't. If the body is allowed to figure out how to fight the condition on its own, without the added confusion and burden of vaccines and drugs, the body can develop natural immunity and will not be susceptible to the same condition in the future. It now has a memory of how to fight it. Artificial immunity from vaccination is often temporary. This helps explain why some individuals still develop the condition they were vaccinated against. This also is the reason for booster shots. From the moment you began passing through your mother's birth canal during labor, your body began contacting, and picking up, numerous beneficial bacterial microorganisms. These beneficial bacteria, which are absolutely essential to proper human function, entered your body through your mouth as you passed through the birth canal. From there, they rapidly made their way into your intestinal tract, where they established themselves in large colonies.
Your mother's milk contained just the right ingredients to nourish these bacteria once they become established in your intestines. These beneficial microorganisms soon became an integral part of your gastrointestinal ecology. Once established, they go to work performing or stimulating a number of important functions. They are part of the first line of defense--the immune system (natural vaginal birth and nursed). Our immune systems also start with the colostrum in breast milk from our mothers. The immune system is in constant change from this point on, adapting to every little need and defense your body requires to ward-off invaders. Our immune system develops through exposure to our environment. Contracting measles or mumps will not only give life-long immunity to the one disease, research has shown that, as a result of naturally acquiring mumps or measles, one is less likely to contract breast cancer, prostate cancer and degenerative diseases. Artificial immunity, on the other hand, has been linked to autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis and diabetes. To escape a weak immune system, a few immune weakening factors should be avoided: (1) Chemicals that impair the immune system, such as fluoride, antibiotics, immunizations and refined sugar. (2) Blood transfusions or injections of factors from pooled-human blood. (3) Injectibles (by hypodermic needles) of street drugs, especially with shared syringes. This includes any drug usage--prescription or street drugs. At the same time, one should supplement the diet with nutrients known to maintain the immune system such as ionized calcium, real vitamin C, zinc, real B-complex and nutritional copper. Vitamin A and magnesium are also essential for a healthy immune system; in fact, good nutrition is absolutely imperative. A major part of "civilized" populations are ingesting huge amounts of refined carbohydrates (sugar) as a large part of the daily diet.
Sugar definitely weakens the immune system and it has been scientifically established that ingestion of 100 grams of sugar reduces the immune function 50 percent within an hour. A level teaspoon of white sugar is 5 grams; so about 20 teaspoons of sugar would amount to 100 grams. A 12-ounce bottle of cola contains up to 9 teaspoons of sugar. It is well known that malnutrition, drugs, chemicals and numerous medical procedures play havoc with the immune system. Alone or in concert they contribute to AIDS. A few examples include:
1. Public water supply contamination with sodium fluoride (NaF) or related compounds. Adequate studies have been conducted to show that fluoride ingestion can result in leukopenia, anemia and lowered serum B12. Ann. Stomatol., Vol. 9, pp. 1-14, 1960. Since the cited study, demonstrated that 1-ppm of NaF (1.0 mg. per liter) can cause leukopenia, there's no valid reason to question whether-or-not fluoridated water, fluoride containing dentifrices and atmospheric fluoride pollution can contribute to immune deficiency. Fluoride is just one of many environmental chemicals known to depress bone marrow function.
2. Microbiology, Davis, Dulvecco, Eisen, Ginsberg and Wood, 2nd Ed., Harper & Row, page 499 mentions drugs and diagnostic procedures that cause immuno-suppression. "Lympholytic agents (X-rays, radiomimetic alkylating drugs, corticosteroids) cause destruction of lymphocytes." On page 501, it mentions antimetabolite type drugs and antimicrobials, which includes antibiotics, as being immunosuppressive.
3. Going back to the 1980 publication: Basic & Clinical Immunology, Eisen, Ginsberg and Wood, 2nd Ed., Harper & Row, page 133, it is recognized that: "Malnutrition may profoundly affect immune responses and particularly may depress delayed hypersensitivity responses. In addition, the presence of iron deficiency and certain vitamin deficiencies...have been associated with decreased delayed hypersensitivity responses."
Childhood Diseases
Dangers of childhood diseases are greatly exaggerated in order to scare parents into compliance with a questionable but profitable procedure. 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. The vast majority of the time, childhood infectious disease is benign and self-limiting. They also impart lifelong immunity, whereas vaccine-induced immunity is only temporary. About half of measles cases in the resurgence of the late 1980s were in adolescents and adults most of whom were vaccinated as children. Moreover, recommended booster shots may provide protection for less than six months. In fact, the temporary nature of vaccine immunity can create amore dangerous situation in a child's future. For example, the new chicken-pox vaccine has an effectiveness estimated at six to 10 years. If effective, it will postpone the child's vulnerability until adulthood, when death from the disease is 20 times more likely. Furthermore, 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. We don't know the risks involved in injecting mutated DNA (herpes virus) into the host genome (children). The truth is, no one knows, but the vaccine is now licensed and recommended by health authorities. Not only are most infectious diseases rarely dangerous, but also they actually play a vital role in the development of 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 is linked to higher risks of ovarian cancer.

Thimerosal
U.S. public health officials claim that there is no problem with the vaccine industry's use of mercury compound that they say prevents contamination. However, a growing number of doctors and scientists are questioning its use, saying that the amounts of mercury getting into infant bodies through this route appear to be killing people slowly. The compound is called thimerosal and it is as controversial as mercury is toxic.
Dr. Mark Geier, MD, PhD, director of the Genetic Centers of America, cited statistics from the Department of Education: In the 1970s, Geier said, the estimate of autism rate was about one in 25,000. However, in the 1980s, he claimed, it rose to one in 2,500. In the 1990s, he said it was about one in 250. Today, the estimate in the United States is about one in 150, he said. "That estimate is by Eli Lilly, which makes thimerosal," said Geier.
What happened in 1990 is that we added HIB, Thermopolis D and also Hepatitis B vaccines to our routine childhood vaccine schedule, which was previously only DPT. So we actually tripled the amount of mercury at that moment in the vaccines," said Geier. " But worse than that, it's not limited to autism," said Geier. According to researchers, Geier said that reading disorders are up 30-fold. Speech disorders are up--currently one in eight children in the United States are in special education.
"You have to be six years old to be in special education, so we're all shaking to see what the next figure will be for the next six years, and we already have some early indicators. It's going to come out between one in six and one in five," said Geier. All this special education and special care are at a premium cost, say experts. And when these children mature into adults, they will not be productive--they will cost "an estimated $20 trillion," said Rep. Dan Burton, whose House committee is looking at this issue.
Geier places the blame for the pandemic of autism squarely on mercury toxicity--primarily thimerosol used in childhood vaccines. "Fortunately, we know the culprit is thimerosal, including the authorities, even though they are covering it up. It's still in some of the vaccines, though they say they are removing it. That's the reason incidentally you don't see them out looking for any other cause of autism. If they didn't believe we were right, they would be looking for a poison out of a factory or terrorists or something. They are doing nothing," said Geier.
Geier said that officials have attempted to attribute the rise in the number of cases of autism to genetics. "I'm a board certified geneticist and know that there are no genetic epidemics. An epidemic means a rapid rise in human disease. The fastest known change in genetics is 1 percent per 100 years," he said. "The epidemic is due to thimerosal and not due to genetics," he said. Geier said there are more than 5,000 papers on thimerosal available at pubmedcentral.nih.gov, the web site of the National Library of Medicine's digital archive. He said that many of these papers warn of the dangers and call for removal from the vaccines.
So, who is responsible for this mess? Geier blames the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the FDA. The FDA licenses vaccines and the CDC is supposed to monitor their safety, said Geier. "The vaccine system in this country is such that whatever time they want to make a change in vaccines, they have a committee that meets. Unfortunately, as Dan Burton's committee has shown--he can't find a single meeting where the vote does not involve owners of patents, or holders of large numbers of shares in the vaccine company, or who take large amounts of vaccine money or are actually working for the vaccine companies," said Geier.
Geier says what is hapening may be illegal. "It's more than a revolving door. It's not just that they are going to hire them after they leave industry; they are hiring them while they are there," he said. "The government is encouraged to 'work with industry.' So, you can go to the CDC and you can see people that are helping the CDC, paid for by Eli Lilly--the producers of thimerosal. If you have workers who work for the company you are regulating, there has to be some question to how well you're doing it," he said.
52 Inoculations in the First 16 Months of Life
Approximately 100 years ago, children were on the receiving end of one vaccine, smallpox. Approximately 40 years ago there were five vaccines being promoted: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and smallpox. Usually the child received eight shots of one kind or another by age two. A detailed count reveals that kids now get 52 vaccines via 15 shots by age 16 months, if parents stand still for the shots recommended by AMA medicine. Included is the preventive pediatrics pneumonia shot.
Vaccines contain Thimerosal (mercury), MSG, aluminum, formaldehyde, sucrose and phenoxyethanol (antifreeze). Thimerosal is nearly 50 percent mercury. In turn, mercury is a neurotoxin with an EPA safe level of .01 microgram per 1 kilogram bodyweight per day. Vaccines contain 12.5 to 25 micrograms of mercury. A visit to the clinic can inject 50 to 62.5 micrograms of mercury into the bloodstream. This is if the 10-dose vials were properly shaken each time they were used. If not, the recipient of the last couple of doses receives vastly larger quantities of mercury that precipitated to the bottom of the vial.
A child usually gets a hepatitis-B shot on the day of birth. It contains 12 micrograms of mercury, or 30 times the safe level. Four months later, the average American child receives the DTap-HiB combined vaccine. This one contains 50 micrograms of mercury, 60 times the safe level. At 6 months of age, Hep-B and Polio vaccines are given the “protected” child. The mercury load is 62.5 micrograms, or 78 times the safe level. It isn’t over yet. At 15 months of age, the same child receives an additional 50 micrograms of mercury housed in shots, or 41 times the safe level.
These data are recited here because even low levels of mercury have been associated with neurological disorders, including attention deficit disorder, autism and under-developed speech. Add to this the accumulated toxic load of mercury from the mother’s amalgam dental fillings the child received in utero through the placental blood, and after birth through breast-feeding and they will have an incredibly high level of mercury in the first few months of life and it then builds up from that time on from the various sources of exposure in our environment, especially from dental amalgam fillings.
Smallpox Vaccine
Among the organizations that have opposed the plan for mandatory mass vaccinations is the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The risk of serious adverse incidents outweighs any benefit that might derive from mass vaccinations for smallpox, according to an AAP policy statement issued in September 2002. Possible complications of vaccination, the statement said, would include generalized rashes, eczema, progressive vaccinia, encephalitis and death. Smallpox vaccine has been known for decades to produce significant adverse effects, especially in immunocompromised persons. Smallpox is virtually an extinct disease. Globally, the last case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. In 1972, routine smallpox immunizaiton was halted in the United States. Stockpiles of vaccine have been used only for laboratory research since then. In 1980, the World Health Organization declared that smallpox had been successfully eradicated worldwide. The AAP agrees witht he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which advocate an alternative to the Bush plan to "fight bioterrorism." At this time, there are no validated estimates of the chance of smallpox being introduced into the U.S. population, but many bioterrorism experts consider it to be quite unlikely. "The public should be educated about the possible serious effects of smallpox immunization, especially for children, because surveillance studies demonstrate that they have a higher incidence of adverse effects," said the AAP policy statement.
Some of the Ingredients Used To Make a Vaccine:
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Phenol also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant & dye)
Formaldehydea known cancer causing agent
Aluminum which is associated withAlzheimer's diseaseand seizuresalsocancerproducing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
Thimerosal (used as a mercury disinfectant/ preservative) can result in brain injuryandautoimmune disease.
Neomycin, Streptomycin (used as antibiotic) have caused allergic reactionin some people
These vaccines are also grown and strained thru animal or human tissue like monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox vaccines).
Dangers
The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are changing our genetic code through vaccination. Soon, we will know that the biggest crimes against humanity were vaccines and mercury dental fillings. We are taught to believe that untoward reactions to vaccines are rare. In the professional literature there are over 5,000 pages of documented reports telling the truth about the medical folly of immunizations. They are seldom if ever published in the newspapers or magazines written for the public. Most parents are unaware that polio vaccination in this country entails a small number of human sacrifices each year. Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn M.D. in January of 1983, stated: "A growing number of parents now recognize that those deadly baby shots, falsely sacrificed by the Doctor/Priest, have tragically changed their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren. A larger group of parents now appreciate that the life and death decision of immunizing children is an awesome responsibility."
For years, critics on the fringes of medicine have pointed to problems with vaccines. The theory that science can inject a virus into a child and render the child immune from the disease is a wonderful concept but, along with the virus or bacterial agents, vaccines contain other foreign and toxic substances. Most vaccines contain some of the following: Thimerosol (Mercury derivative), Formaldehyde (disinfectant), Mercury, Phenol (disinfectant/dye), Aluminum, Acetone, Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze), Methylparaben (antifungal/preservative), Pig and Horse blood, Cow Pox Pus, Rabbit brain, Dog kidney tissue. There is no acceptable, safe amount of formaldehyde, which can be injected into a living human body. These harmful substances are known carcinogenic toxins that do terrible things to the human body; especially an infant with rapidly developing systems. And, when given to those with compromised immune systems, they are immuno-suppressive.
Viral elements in vaccines may persist and mutate in the human body for years, with unknown consequences. Most adverse reactions disable the infant's developing nervous system to some extent. The nervous system is up and functioning during the fifth month of uterine life. A protective and functional layer of fat must develop around the nerves and brain. This fatty tissue is called myelin. Myelin coats the nerves like insulation on a wire and helps to speed the nerve impulses between the brain and the body. If this process of myelination is interfered with, neurological damage results. Neurological damage causes such conditions as autism, stuttering and even the subtle influencing of left or right-handedness. The nervous system controls every aspect of the body and therefore, interfering with the development of the nervous system can affect any system or function of the body. Here are a few examples of documented interference with the myelination process: Autism, Stuttering, Dyslexia, Asthma, Severe Headaches, Vision Problems, Obesity, Hypo/Hyperactivity, Epilepsy, Seizures. The DPT shot, among all vaccinations in use, produces the most serious adverse reactions. Before 1985, parents were never adequately advised (if at all) of the potentially harmful side effects of DPT. Even today pediatricians still usually downplay the risks. In the U.S., approximately 1,000 infants die annually as a direct result of DPT vaccinations, and these are classified as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) deaths. From just the DPT vaccination:
One infant in:
--875 shots suffered convulsion, shock, and inflammation;
--389 shots suffered neurological reaction;
--363 shots suffered from unusual crying;
--3,500 shots died.
There are 35,000 acute neurological reactions occurring within forty-eight hours of a DPT shot among America's children every year. Injection of filthy, pathological debris into a young person's body--theoretically to prevent measles--introduces seeds of future degenerative diseases, later manifested as multiple sclerosis, cancer, etc. In 1970/71, there were more than 33,000 cases of pertussis, with 41 fatal cases among well-immunized British children. After more than 50 years after the DPT vaccine was introduced, no accepted parameters have been developed for prescreening hypersensitive children who might be at risk from DPT. The November 1979 issue of Current Prescribing is a bit enlightening about the effectiveness of the DPT vaccine. In a section headlined, Doubts Over Safety, Efficacy of Pertussis Vaccine Continue--the truth got out. It reveals the following booboo: "The most interesting feature of the study was the outbreak started and spread among the older children. The immunization rate in this group was 94%. If the immunization had been effective, this high rate should have produced herd immunity sufficient to have prevented an epidemic." If the victims could have been grazing on grass in the fields or picking ticks off each other in the trees, perhaps the hypothetical herd immunity would have prevented the epidemic--but, was anyone giving vaccinations a million years ago?
There are many side effects from smallpox vaccine: (encephalitis, eczema vaccinatum, accidental implant of vaccinia on eye, super-infection or other skin conditions), Pertussis or Whooping cough: (high fever, convulsions, encephalopathy) and Measles: (encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, ataxia, retardation, learning disability, hyperactivity, aseptic meningitis, seizure disorders, hemiparesis). These are now viewed as classical--that is, these are the more commonly seen complications as described by the medical profession'not to mention side effects, not yet questioned by doctors, resulting from vaccination. Simply because the physician has not made a connection between these symptoms and inoculation, doesn't assure us that none exists. Recently, medical men who are critical of World Health Organization's (WHO) expertise have reported that WHO was responsible for vaccinating millions of Africans with smallpox vaccine which was contaminated with AIDS "virus". At a press conference in Washington on July 24, 1942, the Secretary of War reported that 28,585 cases of jaundice had been observed in the American Army between January 1 and July 4 after yellow fever vaccination, and of these 62 proved fatal.
Hepatitis-B statistics:
--16,000 adverse reactions since 1990
--24,775 adverse reactions of which, 9,673 were serious reactions involving emergency room visits, hospitalization, and disablement
--439 deaths
The government estimates that only ten percent of all injuries are reported. The risk of death from smallpox vaccine is now greater than the risk of death from smallpox itself. The credit for the decline in the incidence of smallpox could not be given to vaccination. The fact is that its incidence declined in all parts of Europe, whether or not vaccination was employed. Smallpox, like typhus, has been dying out (in England) since 1780. English history provides interesting facts regarding smallpox. The incidence of smallpox actually increased with the introduction of smallpox vaccine. Prior to 1853 (and the complete vaccination of the nation) there had been about 2,000 deaths per two-year-period. Nearly 20 years later, after the vaccination program had been in effect for those years, the biggest smallpox epidemic of 23,062 occurred. Towns where there had been the most thorough enforcement were the most severely hit. By 1900, the effects of health care improvements had been weighed against the effects of inoculation and the English began to resist immunization programs.
The British still managed to rigidly enforce compulsory vaccination in India. India's smallpox death rate compared horribly with England's at the turn of this century. In 1929, the League of Nations reported India as "the greatest center of smallpox today." In our country, smallpox vaccination lost its appeal by 1927 or so when it was realized that the vaccinated suffered the worst effects of the disease. A brief look at the statistics for the U.S.: 1902--2,121 deaths, when smallpox vaccine was at the height of its use, by 1927--138, when it had for the most part been abandoned. Around this time, the Philippines had experienced a ten-year campaign of vaccination against smallpox: the death rate rose from 10% to 74%. In 1918, after ten years of vaccination, more than 18,000 Philippinos died from smallpox. In England and Wales, after smallpox vaccination was terminated, two-thirds of the children were not vaccinated; of those two-thirds, only TWO died of smallpox. However, of the one-third vaccinated, 91 died of smallpox. (British Ministry of Health, The Independent, April 1961).
Carefully selected epidemiological studies are yet another justification for vaccination programs. However, many of these may not be legitimate sources from which to draw conclusions about vaccine effectiveness. For example, if 100 people are vaccinated and five contract the disease, the vaccine is declared to be 95% effective. But if only 10 of the 100 are actually exposed to the disease, then the vaccine is really only 50% effective. Since no one is willing to directly expose an entire population--even a fully vaccinated one--to disease, vaccine effectiveness rates do not indicate a vaccine's true effectiveness. Yet another surprising concern about immunization practice is its assumption that all children, regardless of age, are virtually the same. An eight-pound, two-month-old receives the same dosage as a 40-pound, five-year-old. 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 upon random testing to range from a half to three times what the label indicates. Manufacturing quality controls appear to tolerate a rather large margin of error. "Hot lots"--vaccine lots with disproportionately high death and disability rates--have been identified repeatedly by the NVIC, but the FDA refuses to intervene to prevent further unnecessary injury and deaths.
Finally, vaccination practice assumes that all recipients, regardless of race, culture, diet, geographic location or any other circumstances, will respond in the same way. This was dramatically disproved a few years ago in Australia's Northern Territory, where stepped-up immunization campaigns resulted in an incredible 50% infant mortality rate in the native Aborigines. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that a substantial number of Romanian children were contracting polio from the vaccine--a less common phenomenon in most developed countries. Correlations with injections of antibiotics were found: 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. We will not begin to comprehend fully the scope of this danger until researchers 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.
The goal of complete immunization is actually counterproductive--a notion underscored by instances in which epidemics followed complete immunization of entire nations. Japan experienced yearly increases in smallpox following the introduction of compulsory vaccines in 1872. By 1892 there were 29,979 deaths, and all had been vaccinated. Early in this century, the Philippines experienced their worst smallpox epidemic ever, after eight million people received 24.5 million vaccine doses; the death rate quadrupled. In 1989 Oman experienced a widespread polio outbreak six months after achieving complete vaccination. In the US in 1986, 90% of 1,300 pertussis cases in Kansas were "adequately vaccinated." In the 1993 Chicago pertussis outbreak, 72% of cases were fully up-to-date with their vaccinations. The medical literature has a surprising number of studies documenting vaccine failure. Measles, mumps, smallpox, 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%. They have occurred in all parts of the country, including areas that had not reported measles for years." The CDS even reported a measles outbreak in a documented 100%-vaccinate population. Now, the frequently stated reservation surfaces: Well, if vaccination is worthless and dangerous how can one explain the wonderful demise of polio, smallpox, etc? Six New England states reported increases in polio one year after the Salk vaccine was introduced--increases ranging form a more than doubling in Vermont to an astounding 642% in Massachusetts. In 1959, 77.5% of Massachusetts" paralytic cases had received three doses of IPV (injected polio vaccine).
Just before and during World War I, the doctrine of vaccinal immunity got its big start. In fact, much evidence is extant to support, or at least strongly suggest, that mass vaccinations played a large part in sparking the Spanish Flu Epidemic that decimated over 20 million persons--mostly young, military age. The majority of deaths occurred among young men of military age--not the elderly or infants as would be normally expected. The Spanish Flu Epidemic started at Fort Riley, Kansas, then went to the Brooklyn and Norfolk Navy Yards, and later jumped across the country to San Quentin prison. A very strange phenomenon! The common denominator being the first time in the history of organized medicine, a captive audience was gathered together to submit, without option, to the medical experimentation of mass inoculation. The big lie that the epidemic started in Spain is pure hogwash, but it took the finger of guilt away from the true perpetrators; murderers of millions, whether by folly or for monetary gain.
By checking the military records of World War II, the majority of patients in veteran's hospitals never saw combat and many went to the hospital from boot camps or basic training. Over 70% of veterans hospital admissions, at one time, were directly from basic training camps rather than front-line duty. All were vaccinated! A Minnesota 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 were the unvaccinated children. The highly respected textbook of Robbins-Cotran, Pathologic Basis Of Disease, 2nd. ed., 1979, pretty well summed up the truth about whether or not Immunology is something upon which you wish to hang your future. It states and clarifies: "It must be obvious that there is no dearth of speculation about the origins of autoimmunity and that all theories are built on fragmentary observations held together by gossamer threads. However, it is likely that the tremendous advances now being made in basic immunology will soon separate fact from fancy." So, the whole theory behind immunological procedures, upon which vaccination is based, hangs upon gossamer threads
Costs
The vaccine industry is lucrative. Merck, some of the big three vaccine manufacturers makes over 1 billion dollars per year in vaccine sales alone. With this being only one company that produces vaccines, it is clear that this is a multi-billion dollar industry. Do you think companies like Merck, Lederle, Wyeth, Connaugh, Parke-Davis, Eli-Lilly & Co will let anything stand in their way of profits? These companies hire the researchers to do the vaccine research! Not only have vaccines been under-researched by the government, the manufacturers, and the researchers paid for by the manufacturers; the government has issued laws that protect the manufacturers from any liability from adverse reactions or complications. The act is the National Vaccination Compensation Act of 1987. This federal government act protects the vaccine manufacturer from people suing the manufacturer for the adverse reaction or complications arising from the vaccine injection. In 1998, drug companies spent over $6 billion to tell us what drugs we need! Vaccinations cost us much more than just the lives and health of our children. The US Federal Government's National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) has paid out over $724.4 million in taxpayers' dollars to parents of vaccine-injured and vaccine-killed children. The NVICP has received over 5,000 petitions since 1988, including over 700 for vaccine-related deaths, and there are still some 2,000 total death and injury cases pending that may take years to be resolved. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies have a captive market. Vaccines are legally mandated in all 50 US states (though legally avoidable in most), 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 about vaccination dangers to the public. Such arrangements are clearly unethical; they force an unconsenting American public to pay for vaccine manufacturer's liabilities, while attempting to ensure that this same public will remain ignorant of the dangers of their products. Insurance companies (who do the best liability studies) refuse to cover vaccine adverse reactions.

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 that have never been performed. The flaws of previous studies were that there was no long-term follow up, and chronic toxicity was not considered. The United Kingdom's Department of Health admitted that vaccination status determined the diagnosis of subsequent diseases: those found in vaccinated patients received alternative diagnoses; hospital records and death certificates were falsified. Today, many doctors are still reluctant to diagnose disease in vaccinated children, and so the "myth" about vaccine success continues. The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen, shows that nearly 90% of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization. The diseases in question have continued to break out even in highly immunized populations. Spotty statistics from the FDA indicate that no more than one death occurs per five million inoculations, while, according to the CDC, 10 of the 2,177 reported pertussis cases led to death.
But, Dr. Young, who had been an investigator at the NIH and a department chairman at his university, called that low iatrogenic (doctor caused) fatality rate an artifact of a voluntary reporting system, as the FDA cited widespread reluctance by physicians to report adverse reactions." There had been a lowering of mortality rates from pertussis of approximately 80% by the time immunization was introduced on a mass scale, in the mid-nineteen fifties. No credit can be given to vaccination for the major part of the decline since it was not in use. During 1962, US congressional hearings, Dr Bernard Greenberg, 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 (50% increase from 1957-58, 80% increase from 1958-59), but the statistics were manipulated by the Public Health Service to give the opposite impression.
According to researcher/author Dr. Viera Scheibner, summarized her investigation of some 30,000 pages of medical literature on vaccination in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), a 1999 letter to Congress: "Immunizations, including those practiced on babies, not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and more deaths than has any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention. It will be decades before the mopping-up after the disasters caused by childhood vaccination will be completed. All vaccinations should cease forthwith, and all victims of their side effects should be appropriately compensated." Jane Orient, M.D., Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons agrees: "Public policy regarding vaccines is fundamentally flawed--permeated by conflicts of interest. It is based on poor scientific studies that are too small, too short and too limited."
Dozens of other legitimate researchers and doctors have come to the same conclusion. Hundreds of published medical studies document vaccine failure and adverse effects; several dozen books have been written expounding on these and related information condemning vaccines. Yet, most pediatricians and parents are completely unaware of these findings. Health authorities eliminated from statistics, 90% of polio cases by redefinition of the disease when the vaccine was introduced. For example, in the US, thousands of cases of viral and aseptic meningitis are reported each year. These were routinely diagnosed as polio before the Salk vaccine was introduced. The number of cases needed for an epidemic to be declared was raised from 20 to 35, and the requirement for inclusion in paralysis statistics was changed from symptoms for 24 hours to symptoms for over 60 days. It's no wonder that polio decreased radically after the introduction of vaccines--at least on paper. In 1985, the CDC reported that 87% of polio cases in the US 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 immunized individuals. Jonas Salk, inventor of the IPV, testified before a Senate subcommittee that the oral polio vaccine caused nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961.
Since the 1940's and 50's, the time period when mass vaccinations began:
--11-14% infants have breathing disorders, Asthma, wheezing
--47% increase in respiratory disease and
--65% increase in Asthma from 69 - 81
--1 in 500 infants per year die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
--15 Autistic children for every 10,000 births
--4,500 cases of Autism per year in US, only 150 reported prior to 1958
--A disproportionate increase in the left-handedness
--Learning disorders (ADD, ADHD, and Dyslexia) have increased
--80% increase in nervous system and mental disorders
--120% increase in diseases of the eyes and ears from 1969 - 1981
--129% increase in bilateral hearing loss from 1969 - 1981
This represents only a sample of the documented conditions linked to vaccines. The germ theory of disease must be re-examined.
