7 Reasons Schools Should NOTMandate Vaccines
By Neil Z. Miller
1. Parents should not be obligated to play Russian Roulette with their children.Vaccines pose serious risks. These hazards are acknowledged by vaccine manufacturers in their product inserts, documented in numerous studies, substantiated by the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), and confirmed anecdotally by parents. For example, the MMR vaccine manufacturer concedes that diabetes, thrombocytopenia (a serious blood disorder), arthritis, encephalitis (brain inflammation), Guillain-Barre syndrome (paralysis), and death, have all been reported during clinical trials of its vaccine. Peer-reviewed studies link the haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine to epidemics of type 1 diabetes, the hepatitis B vaccine to autoimmune and neurological disorders, and the flu vaccine to paralytic ailments. These are just a few examples. Medical and scientific journals contain hundreds of other peer-reviewed studies linking vaccines to debilitating ailments. In addition, every year approximately 14,000 people file vaccine adverse reaction reports with the CDC. In just the past 26 months -- as of August 2008 -- more than 8,500 young American females filed adverse reaction reports after receiving the new HPV vaccine. Nearly 600 of these cases were labeled "serious," requiring hospitalization, resulting in life-threatening disabilities, or death. VAERS is a passive reporting system, so the number of people believed to be hurt by vaccines is vastly underreported. According to Dr. David Kessler, former head of the FDA, "only about 1 percent of serious events -- adverse drug reactions -- are reported." This is confirmed by the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute, which receives unsolicited personal stories of vaccine damage every day. The families telling these dreadful stories rarely file official reports. Of course, these stories do not constitute "proof" of vaccine damage -- at least no more than a child's cry after skinning his knee is "proof" of pain. However, patterns of adverse vaccine reactions are easily observed when unrelated families consistently report similar stories of healthy children prior to their shots, and hospitalized children after their shots. These patterns tell a larger story. A medical industry that errs on the side of denial rather than concern is backward and criminally negligent. In an enlightened healthcare community, we would listen to the larger story with sincerity, and opt to protect additional children from harm. Pretending that serious reactions to vaccines are rare does not make it true, incapacitates our children, and degrades our society. Since reputed vaccine risk-to-benefit ratios are bogus, and pharmaceutical shots are considerably more unsafe than officially acknowledged, it is morally unconscionable to mandate vaccines for entry into an educational institution.
2. Unvaccinated children cannot threaten vaccinated children if the shots are effective. When students contract disease, vaccine proponents are quick to blame the outbreaks on unvaccinated children. Yet, the official data tells a different story: a majority of cases occur in fully vaccinated populations. Dr. William Atkinson, senior epidemiologist with the CDC, admitted that "measles transmission has been clearly documented among vaccinated persons. In some large outbreaks...over 95% of cases have a history of vaccination." Similar problems with vaccine efficacy plague other vaccines as well. For example, in a 2003 outbreak of pertussis, 4 of every 5 people who contracted the disease were vaccinated against it. In 2006, there was a large outbreak of mumps in the United States; 92% of the cases were in people who were vaccinated against mumps. Such data provides evidence that herd immunity -- the idea that when a proportion of people within a targeted population are immune to a disease, transmission rates are reduced -- may not apply to vaccinated populations. Vaccination and immunity are not synonymous.
Authorities claim that vaccines won't work for society unless a very high number of people in the targeted population -- school children -- take them. Apparently, unvaccinated children are a threat to the group. But this does not make sense. By this reasoning, the unvaccinated -- who are being coerced into taking the shots -- are somehow responsible for protecting the vaccinated. How ironic! If some students are vaccinated, that's their family's choice. If other students are unvaccinated, that's their family's informed decision as well. Vaccinated students take their chances hoping to avoid serious adverse reactions, while unvaccinated students risk contracting the disease. However, if vaccinated students contract the disease, the shot was ineffective, NOT the fault of unvaccinated students. Officials ignore their own ineffective vaccine, choosing instead to smear the unvaccinated. Outrage should be vented in the proper direction -- at those who developed ineffective shots and falsely promoted a defective product.
3. Some vaccines required for school entry are clearly unnecessary. Our children have become captive instruments of the vaccine industry, accessible by mandate to satisfy other purposes. For example, children rarely develop hepatitis B. In the United States, less than 1% of all reported hepatitis B cases occur in persons less than 15 years of age. When the hepatitis B vaccine was initially introduced, 87% of pediatricians did NOT believe it was needed by their patients. Doctors knew that children rarely develop this disease. According to the hepatitis B vaccine manufacturer, children are targeted "because a vaccination strategy limited to high-risk individuals has failed." In other words, because high-risk groups -- sexually promiscuous adults and IV drug users -- are difficult to reach or have rejected this vaccine, authorities are targeting children. Authorities believe that by vaccinating children (a low-risk herd) they will protect unvaccinated adults (a high-risk herd). Since children are unlikely to contract hepatitis B, and studies show that vaccine efficacy declines after a few years, children are being subjected to all of the risks of the hepatitis B vaccine without the expected benefit.
The chickenpox vaccine is another drug that should not have been mandated for all children. It was available since the 1970s but authorities were reluctant to license and promote it because the disease is rarely dangerous and confers lifelong immunity. The vaccine, however, contains a weakened form of the virus; once injected, it remains in the body indefinitely. Authorities were concerned that it could reawaken years after the vaccination and cause serious problems. In addition, the chickenpox vaccine was originally developed for children with leukemia or compromised immune systems, a small population at greater risk for complications from the disease. But vaccine manufacturers quickly sought a wider market for their potentially lucrative product. A study conducted by the CDC in 1985 determined that the vaccine was not necessary. However, in 1995 it was promoted as "cost-effective" -- rather than essential -- because moms and dads would not have to miss work and stay home (an average of 1 day) to care for their sick children. It was licensed shortly thereafter. Before the chickenpox vaccine was licensed, doctors would encourage parents to expose their children to the disease while they were young. Doctors recommended this course of action because they knew that chickenpox is relatively harmless when contracted prior to the teenage years (but more dangerous in adolescents and adults). However, after the vaccine was licensed, the CDC began warning parents about the dangers of chickenpox. Doctors stopped encouraging parents to expose their children to this disease. Instead, they were told to have their children vaccinated against chickenpox.
These examples confirm that some vaccines required for school entry are NOT essential. School officials have become henchmen for the vaccine industry. Low-risk children are being force-vaccinated to protect high-risk adults or to increase the vaccine manufacturer's profits. Blackmailing families by threatening to withhold a child's education for refusing needless vaccines is a moral outrage.
4. Conflicts of interest permeate the vaccine industry. Vaccine recommendations and other important healthcare decisions that affect our nation's children are frequently based on ulterior motives. Safety and protection are NOT always top priorities. Instead, authorities may be influenced by monetary considerations or the urge to manipulate undesirable study results. For example, in June of 2000, two separate yet highly significant events rocked the vaccine industry:
Event #1: Congress held a hearing to determine if "the entire process [of licensing and recommending vaccines] has been polluted and the public trust has been violated." Two years earlier, vaccine authorities had evidence that a new vaccine under consideration (for diarrhea!) was dangerous, yet that didn't stop them from licensing and recommending it for every child in the USA. This vaccine was linked to numerous cases of a life-threatening intestinal blockage and baby deaths. After this vaccine was withdrawn from the market, Congress discovered that 60% of the FDA advisory committee members who voted to license this defective vaccine, and 50% of the CDC advisory committee members who voted to recommend it for every child in the country, had financial ties to the drug company that produced the vaccine or to two other companies developing their own potentially lucrative competing vaccines. For example, an FDA committee member who voted to license the defective vaccine had received more than $250,000 per year in research funds from the drug company that made the vaccine. A CDC committee member who voted to recommend the defective vaccine for every child was paid by the industry to travel around the country teaching doctors that vaccines are safe. In addition, he held a potentially lucrative patent on a similar vaccine under development! Despite this important Congressional expose', no one at the FDA, CDC, or U.S. Department of Health and Human Services admitted a problem, and claimed that it's perfectly acceptable for committee members with obvious conflicts of interest to make healthcare recommendations for every child in this country -- even when they stand to benefit financially from their own decisions!
Event #2: Just one week prior to the Congressional investigation into conflicts of interest within the vaccine industry, a top-secret meeting of high-level officials from the CDC, FDA, World Health Organization (WHO), and representatives from every major vaccine manufacturer, was held at the secluded Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. They had gathered to discuss an alarming new study that confirmed a link between thimerosal (mercury) in childhood vaccines and neurological damage, including recent dramatic increases in autistic spectrum disorders. According to the lead researcher, "We have found statistically significant relationships between the exposures and outcomes." Since 1991, when the CDC and FDA started requiring babies to receive multiple doses of thimerosal-laced hepatitis B, Hib, and the already mandated diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shots (via DPT and DTaP), cases of autism skyrocketed. Dr. Robert Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, congratulated the group for their apparent success thus far at being able to keep the incriminating data out of "less responsible hands." Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor, was more blunt, declaring that perhaps the CDC study "should not have been done at all." Instead of warning the public and recalling the dangerous vaccines, this small group of federal health officials and vaccine industry executives spent the weekend calculating how to cover up the truth -- and followed through on their plot over the next few years. First, the CDC's vast database on childhood vaccines was removed from public access so that unbiased researchers could not confirm the study results. Next, the incriminating data from the original study was reworked, and the new version was published in a peer-reviewed journal. However, this time "no consistent significant associations were found between thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental outcomes." Finally, to complete the deception, the CDC would need additional "proof" that thimerosal-laced vaccines are safe. According to Dr. Gordon Douglas, the director of strategic planning at the National Institutes of Health (and former president of vaccinations for Merck, a major vaccine manufacturer), four new studies were currently taking place "to rule out the proposed link between autism and thimerosal."
These two events -- the Congressional hearing on conflicts of interest within the vaccine licensing and recommendation process, and the secret Simpsonwood conference -- confirm that U.S. health authorities have lost their ethical bearings and have NOT made our children's safety a top priority. Requiring vaccines for school entry when they may have been added to the childhood immunization schedule simply to line the pockets of powerful authorities is dangerous and corrupt. Withholding a child's education for refusing vaccines when crucial studies purporting to prove their safety are bogus, is both reprehensible and indefensible. Thus, every family must remain free to accept or reject vaccines.
5. Recovery from natural disease provides advantages over artificial immunity. Measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox usually confer permanent immunity; the child will rarely contract these ailments again. In contrast, vaccines provide temporary immunity; protection is incomplete, requiring booster doses. Vaccinated children are still susceptible to the disease. Studies also indicate that childhood diseases can have a favorable effect on the child's immune system. When children overcome illnesses on their own, their immune systems are stimulated: they build resistance to other diseases in later life. For example, several studies show that women are less likely to develop ovarian cancer if they have had mumps in childhood.
6. Few people utilize exemptions. In 1991, the CDC concluded that outbreaks of disease can be avoided if 70% to 80% of children are vaccinated. A 1992 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association confirmed that vaccination rates of "80% or less" should be sufficient to protect against disease outbreaks. Most parents obediently follow their doctor's orders and vaccinate their children. In addition, schools rarely publicize legal exemptions to "mandatory" vaccines. Thus, only about 2% of families file waivers to recommended shots. This number could substantially increase without threatening herd immunity.
7. Australia doesn't mandate shots and is not overtaken by disease. In the United States, healthcare authorities, pediatricians, and school officials use coercive tactics to increase vaccination rates. Parents are intimidated and their children threatened with removal from school if vaccines are not "up to date." Other countries recommend fewer vaccines and do not require them for school entry. For example, in Australia medical intervention is not compulsory, free will is honored, yet epidemics do not occur. In fact, disease case and fatality rates are lower in many countries than in the United States. Many Americans would be shocked to learn that the U.S. has the greatest number of mandatory vaccines yet the 42nd worst infant mortality rate in the world. Outbreaks of common ailments are manageable without requiring vaccines for school entry.

">How Safe is the Swine Flu Nasal Spray Vaccine?
(Originally Published on FaceBook) October 28, 2009
Several people have asked me about MedImmune's swine flu nasal spray vaccine. Of the four swine flu vaccines that have been licensed for use in the United States, the vaccine that is sprayed up the nose is the only one that is mercury-free. (The injectable swine flu vaccines contain 25mcg of mercury per dose when administered from a multi-dose vial. This is more than 80 times the mercury content found in vaccines containing "trace amounts of mercury.") Yet, the nasal spray, mercury-free vaccine may be more risky.All four of the U.S. licensed swine flu vaccines were made by mimicking earlier seasonal flu vaccines (and by adding the new swine flu virus). However, the manufacturers admit in their product inserts that these new swine flu vaccines were NOT tested for safety or efficacy. The FDA allowed them to be rushed to market assuming that they will be similar in safety and efficacy to previous flu vaccines. Thus, MedImmune's swine flu nasal spray vaccine should be similar in safety and efficacy to its seasonal flu nasal spray vaccine, FluMist.The following information on FluMist was excerpted from my recently updated Vaccine Safety Manual, 2010 copyright. All of the data is properly referenced in the book.
Excerpt from the Vaccine Safety Manual, 2nd Edition: The American drug maker MedImmune recently submitted a confidential briefing document to the FDA containing safety data from studies that it conducted on its own vaccine. MedImmune was seeking permission to vaccinate children under 5 years of age with its live-virus nasal spray FluMist vaccine (the one that is squirted up the nose). When this vaccine was originally licensed in 2003, the FDA only permitted it to be given to children 5 years of age and older because a large study conducted in 31 clinics showed that it caused "a statistically significant increase in asthma or reactive airways disease" in children under 5 years of age. In addition to this confidential briefing document, the FDA also had access to data from studies that were not conducted by the manufacturer. According to the FDA, FluMist can cause "medically significant wheezing" and pneumonia. In fact, 3 percent of all children 6 months to 1 year of age who received the vaccine ended up in the hospital with respiratory problems! (With the inactivated flu shot, 1 of every 100 vaccinated children in this age group had to be rushed to the hospital.) In addition, of all children between 6 months and 1 year of age who developed "protocol-defined wheezing" after their FluMist vaccinations, 9 percent required hospitalization. This figure was 7 percent for children between 1 and 2 years of age. The median duration of hospitalization in children 6 months to 2 years of age was nearly 5 days with most requiring bronchodilators and steroids. Many of these children had multiple wheezing episodes. Nevertheless, in September 2007, the FDA licensed this vaccine for children as young as two years of age.

Ten Swine Flu Lies Told by MSM
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call “bald faced lies” about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for “free vaccine clinics” in the same space.
The media, it seems, is so deeply in bed with the culture of vaccinations that they will do almost anything to keep the public misinformed. And that includes lying about swine flu vaccines.
There are ten key lies that continue to be told by the mainstream media (MSM) about swine flu and swine flu vaccines.
Lie #1 - There are no adjuvants used in the vaccines
I was recently being interviewed by a major U.S. news network when the reporter interviewing me came up with this humdinger: There are no adjuvants being used in the swine flu vaccines, he said!I assured him that adjuvants were, indeed, a crucial part of the vaccine recipe, and they were being widely used by drug companies to “stretch” the vaccine supply. It’s no secret. But he insisted he had been directly told by a drug company rep that no adjuvants were being used at all. And he believed them! So everything being published by this large news network about swine flu vaccines now assumes there are no adjuvants in the vaccines at all.
Lie #2 - The swine flu is more dangerous than seasonal flu
This lie is finally starting to unravel. I admit that in the early days of this pandemic, even I was concerned this could be a global killer. But after observing the very mild impact the virus was having on people in the real world, it became obvious that this was a mild flu, no more dangerous than a seasonal flu. The MSM, however, continues to promote H1N1 swine flu as being super dangerous, driving fear into the minds of people and encouraging them to rush out and get a vaccine shot for a flu that’s really no more likely to kill them than the regular winter sniffles. Sure, the virus could still mutate into something far worse, but if it does that, the current vaccine could be rendered obsolete anyway!
Lie #3 - Vaccines protect you from swine flu
This is the biggest lie of all, and the media pushes it hard. Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu. But it’s just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do). As I pointed out in a recent article, statistically speaking the average American is 40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have their life saved by a swine flu vaccine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026955_s…)
Lie #4 - Vaccines are safe
And how would any journalists actually know this? None of the vaccines have been subjected to real-world testing for any meaningful duration. The “safety” of these vaccines is nothing more than wishful thinking. The MSM also doesn’t want you to know what’s in the vaccines. Some vaccines are made from viral fragments grown in diseased African monkeys. If that sounds incredible, read the true story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/026779_s…
Lie #5 - The vaccine isn’t mandatory
You hear this lie all the time: The swine flu vaccine shot is voluntary, they say. But it’s not true if you’re an employee at a place where vaccines are being mandated. Millions of Americans are now being told by their employers that if they don’t get vaccine shots, they will be effectively fired from their jobs. It’s especially true with health care workers, day care employees and school teachers.
Lie #6 - Getting a vaccine shot is a good bet on your health
In reality, a vaccine shot is far more likely to harm you than help you. According to one viral expert, the actual mortality rate of the swine flu virus is estimated to be as low as .007 percent (http://www.reuters.com/article/heal…). That means H1N1 swine flu kills less than one person in 100,000. Even if the vaccine works, let’s say, 10 percent of the time, you’d have to vaccine one million people to prevent one death from swine flu. And in vaccinating one million people, you would inevitably harm or kill several people, simply from the vaccine side effects! Your net risk of death is increased by getting a swine flu vaccine.
Lie #7 - The vaccine isn’t made with “attenuated live virus”
When the swine flu vaccines were first being announced several months ago, they were described as being made with “attenuated live virus.” This was directly mentioned in CDC documents, among other places. This term apparently freaked out the American news consumer, and it has since been all but erased from any discussion about vaccines. Now, journalists will actually argue with you and insist the vaccines contain no attenuated live viruses whatsoever. Except they’re wrong. The vaccines are, indeed, made with “attenuated live viruses.” That’s how you make a vaccine: You take live viruses, then you weaken them (”attenuate”) and inject them into people.
Lie #8 - Wash, wash, wash your hands (to avoid exposure)
This idea of washing your hands a hundred times a day is all based on the assumption that you can avoid exposure to the swine flu virus. But that’s impractical. The virus is now so widespread that virtually everyone is certain to be exposed to it through the air if not other means. This whole idea of avoiding exposure to the swine flu virus is nonsense. The conversation should shift to ways to survive exposure via a healthy immune system. Of course, hand washing is a very good idea in a hospital setting. Recent news reveals that doctors are too busy to wash their own hands, resulting in the rampant spread of superbugs throughout most large hospitals in first world nations.
Lie #9 - Children are more vulnerable to swine flu than adults
This is just a flat-out lie, but it makes for good vaccine sales. Vaccines are right now being targeted primarily to schoolchildren. But the truth is that swine flu is extremely mild in children. “It’s mildest in kids,” says Dr Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University. “That’s one of the really good pieces of news in this pandemic.” Reuters actually had the guts to report this story, but most of the larger media outlets are still reporting that children are the most vulnerable.
Lie #10 - There is nothing else you can do beyond a vaccine and Tamiflu
This is where the media lies by omission. The mainstream media absolutely refuses to print just about any story that talks about using vitamin D, anti-viral herbs or natural remedies to protect yourself from swine flu. In the MSM, there are two options and only two: Vaccines and Tamiflu.
That’s it. No other options exist in their fictional reality.
Why is the mainstream media so afraid to print the truth these days? Why can’t reporting on swine flu see the light of day… literally, with a mention of sunlight and vitamin D? Apparently, Big Pharma has such a tight grip on mainstream newspapers that no true story on swine flu can ever make it past the editor’s desk.
Killing stories, deceiving the public
It must really be depressing to work for the mainstream media. Even the reporters I know can’t stand it. The truth, they admit, rarely makes it into print.
Over the last few years, I’ve had a couple of job offers from large media outlets. They want to pay me a six-figure salary and stick me behind a desk where they can control what I report. Needless to say, I routinely reject those offers. If I can’t write the truth like I do here on NaturalNews.com, there’s no point writing at all. In too many ways, the mainstream media has become little more than a corporate mouthpiece, whoring itself out to the highest bidder / advertiser.
It’s no fault of the frontline reporters who actually work there. For the most part, they agree with what I’m saying. It’s the fault of the profit-oriented corporate mindset where news is about selling newspapers rather than actually informing the public.
Important news stories get killed every day in the newsrooms across America. They get killed not because they are poorly investigated or poorly written, but because they upset advertisers and corporate string pullers who shape the news and reject any stories that threaten their own financial interests.
Here in 2009, the distorted reporting on the swine flu vaccine has been one of the greatest media frauds ever perpetrated. The media has in every way contributed to the widespread ignorance of the American people on the subject of vitamin D and natural immune-boosting defenses that could reduce swine flu fatalities. Rather than informing readers, the MSM has made it a point to keep the people stupid, and in doing so, the media has failed its only mission and betrayed the very audience is claims to serve.
www.naturalnews.com/027055_swine_flu_vaccines_swine_flu_vaccine.html
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call “bald faced lies” about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for “free vaccine clinics” in the same space.
The media, it seems, is so deeply in bed with the culture of vaccinations that they will do almost anything to keep the public misinformed. And that includes lying about swine flu vaccines.
There are ten key lies that continue to be told by the mainstream media (MSM) about swine flu and swine flu vaccines.
Lie #1 - There are no adjuvants used in the vaccines
I was recently being interviewed by a major U.S. news network when the reporter interviewing me came up with this humdinger: There are no adjuvants being used in the swine flu vaccines, he said!I assured him that adjuvants were, indeed, a crucial part of the vaccine recipe, and they were being widely used by drug companies to “stretch” the vaccine supply.

WHAT TO DO IF FORCE VACCINATED
Russell Blaylock, MD
8-16-9
Dr Blaylock's List of suggestions on How to Reduce the Toxic Effects of the A/H1N1 Vaccine, is as follows:
1. Number one on the list says Dr Blaylock, is to bring a cold pack with you and place it on the site of the injection as soon as you can, as this will block the immune reaction. Once you get home, continue using a cold pack throughout the day. If you continue to have immune reactions the following day, have cold showers and continue with the cold press.
2. Take fish oil. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), one of the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements, is a potent immune suppressant. If you take high dose EPA you will be more susceptible to infections, because it is a powerful immune suppressant. However, in the case of an immune adjuvant reaction, you want to reduce it. Studies show that if you take EPA oil one hour before injecting a very powerful adjuvant called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), it would completely block the ability of the LPS to cause brain inflammation. Take a moderate dose everyday and more if needed to tame a cytokine storm.
3.Flavonoids are third on the list, namely curcumin, quercetin, ferulic acid and ellagic acid, particularly in a mixture. The curcumin and quercetin in particular have been found to block the ability of the adjuvants to trigger a long-term immune reaction. If you take it an hour before the vaccination, it should help dampen the immune reactions says Dr Blaylock.
4. Vitamin E, the natural form that is high in gamma-E will help dampen the immune reactions and reduces several of the inflammatory cytokines.
5. An important ingredient on the list is Vitamin C at a dose of 1000 mg, taken four times a day between meals. It is a very potent anti-inflammatory and should be taken in a buffered form, not as absorbic acid, says Dr Blaylock.
6. Also use astaxanthin as it's an anti-inflammatory. According to Dr Blaylock, fatal reactions to vaccines in aboriginal and African children occurred in those who were deficient in carotinoids, like astaxanthin. It is a good protection against the toxic effects of the vaccine.
7. Likewise, it was found that children who were deficient in zinc had a high mortality rate. Zinc is very protective against vaccine toxicity. (Do not use zinc mixed with copper however, as copper is a major trigger of free-radical generation according to Dr Blaylock).
8. Ensure you avoid all immune-stimulating supplements, such as mushroom extracts, whey protein and
9. Take a multivitamin-mineral daily one that does not contain iron. This multivitamin-mineral is to make sure your body has plenty of B vitamins and selenium. Selenium, said Dr Blaylock, is very important for fighting viral infections and it reduces the inflammatory response to vaccines.
10. Magnesium citrate/malate 500 mg of elemental magnesium two capsules, three times a day. (This was not mentioned during the show, but was posted at Dr Deagle's website,ClayandIron.com).
11. What is very important is vitamin D3, which is the only 'vitamin' the body can manufacture from sunlight (UVB). It is a neural hormone, not really a vitamin says Dr Blaylock and helps if you are over-reacting immunologically by cooling down the reaction. Similarly, if you are under-reacting, it helps to boost your immune response. In addition it also protects against microorganism invasion.
Black people and those in colder climates are particularly deficient, so they will almost certainly require supplementation.
Dr Blaylock recommends that following vaccination it will help to keep the immune reaction under control if:
i) All children get 5,000 units a day for two weeks after the vaccine and then 2,000 a units a day thereafter;
ii) Adults get 20,000 units a day after the vaccine for two weeks, then 10,000 units a day thereafter;
iii) And with that adults should take 500-1000 mg of calcium a day and children under the age of 12 years should take 250 mg a day, as vitamin D works more efficiently in the presence of calcium.
12. Ensure you avoid all mercury-containing seafood or any other sources of mercury, as the heavy metal is a very powerful inducer of autoimmunity, is known to make people more susceptible to viral infections and will be in H1N1 vaccines.
13. Avoid the oils that significantly suppress immunity and increase inflammation - such as corn, safflower, sunflower, soybean, canola and peanut oils.
14. Drink very concentrated white tea at least four times a day. It helps to prevent abnormal immune reactions.
15. Pop parsley and celery in a blender and drink 8 ounces of this mixture twice a day. Dr Blaylock says the parsley is very high in a flavonoid called apigenin and that celery is high inluteolin. Both are very potent in inhibiting autoimmune diseases, particularly the apigenin, so go and plant some parsley in your garden now.

WHAT YOU WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT VACCINES
Dr. Andrew Moulden Interview -- July 21, 2009
ENTIRE INTERVIEW CAN BE FOUND HERE
Excerpt:
Through my extensive research and my work throughout the years, I have discovered that vaccinations are causing impaired blood flow (ischemia) to brain and body from clinically silent to death. These are strokes – across the board for all of us. I have reason to believe that all are being affected and all vaccinations ARE causing the overwhelming rise in autism, specific learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, sudden infant death, gulf war syndrome, dementia, seizure disorders, some cancers it would appear, and much much more.

JUST SAY NO TO THE SWINE FLU VACCINE
Dr. Eisenstein's Comments:
I have offered vaccine choice to over 20,000 families. This has led to my practice(www.homefirst.com) that has virtually no asthma, allergy, diabetes, or autism.
The idea of giving any vaccine to pregnant women is overt malpractice and borders on criminal intent. Flu vaccines have never worked in any age group. There is limited or no data on the safety and effectiveness of the swine flu vaccine especially with the new untested adjuvants(formulated compounds, which when combined with vaccine antigens intensify the body's immune response). Let us not be like sheep being taken to be slaughtered.
Give the right to make medical decisions back to the Patients and their Doctors! The notion of mandating an unsubstantiated injection with no clear evidence of efficacy is outrageous.
Vaccine choice is what it is all about. An informed and aware public both physically and intellectually is what is best for us.
To become better informed please go to Medical Voices Vaccine Information Center. We need Big Pharma and Big Government to stay out of our lives.
Become active in the battle against swine flu vaccine. Go to www.Pandemicfluonline.com and get your community tool box.
My recommendations:
1. Stay as far away from this swine flu vaccine experiment as possible. Flu vaccines have never worked.
2. Maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D and Probiotics.
3. Death from flu usually comes from a secondary pneumonia not from the flu itself. You must stay away from all over the counter and prescription Acid Reducing Pharmaceuticals Tums®, Rolaids®, Zantac®, Tagamet®, or the more dangerous, PPIs [Proton Pump Inhibitors] (Nexium®, Prevacid®, Prilosec®, Protonics®, etc..
4. And of course have lots of chicken soup available.

BASEMENT LOGIC ON THE SWINE FLU/H1N1 VIRUS
By: Paula Rothstein
Apparently, our "world government" has waited as long as it can possibly wait for an actual flu pandemic that is dangerous. How else can one explain the hysteria and hyperbole surrounding this rather mild flu which is making its way around the world, killing very few, generally mild, yet officials are stoking irrational fear in the public at every turn.
I am not a germ expert but I certainly know enough on the subject of our immune system to surmise that catching the current strain would be far preferable to coming down with a more virulent strain in the future (a fear experts profess to holding). They have admitted that any vaccine based on this current strain would not protect you from a mutated strain. However, our brilliant immune system has the ability to learn each time it is exposed to a virus under normal circumstances and I imagine that would help in a situation of a second exposure. Call me crazy but wouldn't a vaccine -- assuming it actually works -- keep me from getting the current strain but then leave me vulnerable to the more virulent strain?
What is most disturbing is that this series of shots will be tested for safety on chidren and pregnant women. Of course, we are to take comfort in the fact that they will be carefully monitoring adverse reactions. Well that's a relief!! I for one will not be turning over my small children like a couple of guinea pigs for a government financed vaccine. Governments and pharmaceutical companies do not inspire confidence. The people involved in this "crisis" (head of the World Health Organization and CDC) have resided over numerous vaccine disasters with rarely a peep to parents when safety concerns have unfolded with regards to a particular vaccine.
Most people do not understand that the immune system is weakened by vaccines -- having a new toxic load invade the body artificially is not an easy thing to handle. Top the insanity off, their treatment plan (and one now approved for infants!) is to recommend Tamiflu. The same Tamiflu which has been linked to hallucinations, dangerous psychiatric behavior and in some instances led to death. Visit http://www,askapatient.com/ to see what patients are reporting with regards to this drug.
On November 14, 2006, Roche Laboratories made the following statement with regards to abnormal behavior reported in children:
"New precautions have been added to Tamiflu's professional product label (also known as a package insert) about the possibility of abnormal behavior in children and adolescents that, in extreme cases, has resulted in deaths. Oseltamivir [Tamiflu] should be stopped immediately if the person taking this drug develops abnormal behavior, delirium, hallucinations, delusions, aggression, suicidal ideation and/or other mental status changes while taking the drug to treat the flu."
However, caution is now thrown to the wind! Why, I ask you, would a parent risk this drug's deleterious effects rather than the effects of a flu, keeping in mind this drug is only reported to shorten the duration of the flu by one to two days. You could do that using natural products that pose no danger. In fact, the only component of Tamiflu which could explain why it may help shorten the duration of a virus is Zinc.
I urge you to just include zinc as a vitamin along with Vitamin D and lots of Vitamin C during this flu season. Contrary to what the medical community would have you believe (sung in choir with all governmental officials involved) good hygiene, vaccination and Tamiflu are hardly your only options. However, if they were to admit that the immune system could be both supported and strengthened naturally, profits would be doomed. And make no mistake about it, there are many who will be quite rich as a result of this pandemic.

Apparently, our "world government" has waited as long as it can possibly wait for an actual flu pandemic that is dangerous. How else can one explain the hysteria and hyperbole surrounding this rather mild flu which is making its way around the world, killing very few, generally mild, yet officials are stoking irrational fear in the public at every turn.
I am not a germ expert but I certainly know enough on the subject of our immune system to surmise that catching the current strain would be far preferable to coming down with a more virulent strain in the future (a fear experts profess to holding). They have admitted that any vaccine based on this current strain would not protect you from a mutated strain. However, our brilliant immune system has the ability to learn each time it is exposed to a virus under normal circumstances and I imagine that would help in a situation of a second exposure. Call me crazy but wouldn't a vaccine -- assuming it actually works -- keep me from getting the current strain but then leave me vulnerable to the more virulent strain?
What is most disturbing is that this series of shots will be tested for safety on chidren and pregnant women. Of course, we are to take comfort in the fact that they will be carefully monitoring adverse reactions. Well that's a relief!! I for one will not be turning over my small children like a couple of guinea pigs for a government financed vaccine. Governments and pharmaceutical companies do not inspire confidence. The people involved in this "crisis" (head of the World Health Organization and CDC) have resided over numerous vaccine disasters with rarely a peep to parents when safety concerns have unfolded with regards to a particular vaccine.
Most people do not understand that the immune system is weakened by vaccines -- having a new toxic load invade the body artificially is not an easy thing to handle. Top the insanity off, their treatment plan (and one now approved for infants!) is to recommend Tamiflu. The same Tamiflu which has been linked to hallucinations, dangerous psychiatric behavior and in some instances led to death. Visit http://www,askapatient.com/ to see what patients are reporting with regards to this drug.
On November 14, 2006, Roche Laboratories made the following statement with regards to abnormal behavior reported in children:
"New precautions have been added to Tamiflu's professional product label (also known as a package insert) about the possibility of abnormal behavior in children and adolescents that, in extreme cases, has resulted in deaths. Oseltamivir [Tamiflu] should be stopped immediately if the person taking this drug develops abnormal behavior, delirium, hallucinations, delusions, aggression, suicidal ideation and/or other mental status changes while taking the drug to treat the flu."
However, caution is now thrown to the wind! Why, I ask you, would a parent risk this drug's deleterious effects rather than the effects of a flu, keeping in mind this drug is only reported to shorten the duration of the flu by one to two days. You could do that using natural products that pose no danger. In fact, the only component of Tamiflu which could explain why it may help shorten the duration of a virus is Zinc.
I urge you to just include zinc as a vitamin along with Vitamin D and lots of Vitamin C during this flu season. Contrary to what the medical community would have you believe (sung in choir with all governmental officials involved) good hygiene, vaccination and Tamiflu are hardly your only options. However, if they were to admit that the immune system could be both supported and strengthened naturally, profits would be doomed. And make no mistake about it, there are many who will be quite rich as a result of this pandemic.

MUMPS THE WORD -- Are Vaccines Necessary?
By: William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
As you know, I'm not exactly a fan of vaccinations. At best, they're unnecessary. At worst, they're downright deadly. But the fact is that the medical community (read: BIG PHARMA) has done such a bang-up job of convincing everyone that they're an absolute necessity that in many cases, you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to be vaccinated.
This gross violation of personal freedom was on full display recently when the University of Southern Maine sent out notices to 400 students that they were being banned from campus for failing to meet the latest vaccination requirements for mumps. Yes, banned. This isn't anything new, you understand. In the not-so-politically correct past, lepers were cut-off from society and left to literally rot in colonies on remote islands. But these students don't have mumps--they just haven't been vaccinated against mumps.
Anyone else think this is a violation of personal rights?
These notices went out after a recent mumps outbreak throughout the state of Maine (officials believe this spread down out of Canada). Among the 400 who've been banished from the halls of learning (you'd have to wonder exactly what they'd learn at a university that's so willing to employ these kinds of extreme, Draconian tactics) are 20 students who have declined the vaccinations on religious or philosophical grounds. In other words, those that stood up for their rights.
How seriously is the University of Southern Maine taking this "dangerous" mumps health threat? So seriously that students who are medically exempt from the vaccination are allowed on campus with "special passes." (Reminds me of the Nazis in old movies: "Show me your papers, please!") So now you're thinking, "Hold on, Douglass -- there's got to be a very good reason for this. Mumps must be a deadly virus, right?"
Wrong.
The mumps are painful. There's fever. There's a swelling of the salivary glands around the jaw. It's not pleasant, and it's another of those childhood diseases like chicken pox which is much more painful to weather as an adult. But to be clear: it's not gonna kill you. In fact, most common treatment for the mumps is an ice bag and a couple of aspirin.
In the rarest of rare cases, the results could be a mild form of meningitis, organ infections, Encephalitis (rarely fatal), and sterility in men. And I suppose these "risks" could be considered serious if the University of Southern Maine happened to be located somewhere in the Congo where disease is rife, sanitation poor, and medical aid practically nonexistent. But this is Maine -- and last I heard, that was one of the forty-eight contiguous States. Hardly the wilds of Africa.
So where did the University get the wrong-headed idea that they needed to treat 400 of their student body like disease-ridden pariahs? From Maine's state government, of course (I love putting blame where it so often belongs: in the laps of unthinking, butt-covering bureaucrats). The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that these actions be taken, and they have amended the health codes on states college campuses to require two doses of the vaccine. Most people receive their first and only mumps vaccination not long after birth -- it's known as the MMR (the same one that has been linked to the rise in the number of cases of autism in
children...).
The campus ban has caused all kinds of issues, especially for the University, since it's now their responsibility to work to find off-campus housing for the 400 affected students, and to make special arrangements to allow these students to complete their coursework for the semester.
Of course, I'm probably the lone voice in the wilderness decrying this act -- yet another case of something stupid and dangerously wrong being enacted in the name of "the common good." But as if to underscore my point, there have been a whopping eight laboratory-confirmed cases of mumps in the entire state of Maine, and just thirty-five suspected cases. So I know who's being ridiculous here. It's not the students -- especially not the 20 students who stood firm against the vaccination fascists. And it certainly isn't me. Who's left? You do the math.
A sweet solution for kids' coughs.
Fortunately, not all research concludes that the best cure is always found at the business end of a hypodermic needle. In a nice counter to that enraging vaccination story, there's a new study out about a simple, non-medical, and darn tasty solution for children's coughs: a teaspoon of honey. According to a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, this homey folk remedy was better than cough medicine for children. It calmed the cough, helped kids sleep better, and coated and soothed the irritated throat.
This report is like a breath of fresh air. There have been recent warnings about the dangers of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children younger than age six, and (shockingly) some Big Pharma companies even removed their baby cough-and-cold products from the market. Of course, many parents already know that honey shouldn't be given to kids from birth until after age one (there's a rare but serious danger of botulism).
I love it when grandma's old remedies are verified by research. This particular study used 105 kids with upper respiratory infections, some were given honey, others a honey-flavored cough medicine. All the kids got better but plain-old honey consistently scored higher than the drugs at combating the symptoms.
Pretty sweet, huh? Helping to keep the needles at bay.

THE SWINE FLU SWINDLE
The new swine flu vaccine should be coming to a clinic near you just in time for Halloween. It seems appropriate, given the bizarre nature of the entire Pigs can Fly panic being spread by WHO and CDC, that the first H1N1 approved vaccine should be ready by Halloween. Can anyone say “Trick or Treat”? No doubt, the government will ask that I produce my children as a pin cushion or they will be denied entrance to school.
Hysteria is good for business – that is most certainly true when the hysteria surrounds a highly contagious flu and your business sells anti-viral drugs. As the World Health Organization raises the threat level for the H1N1 flu to 6 (and there is no 7) several companies are preparing for a golden harvest come fall 2009.
The US government recently made available one billion dollars to help big vaccine makers like Sanofi-Aventis and GlaxoSmithKline rush to market new vaccines. Novartis leads the pack with $289 million in federal support, followed by Sanofi Aventis with $191 million and GlaxoSmithKline set to receive a respectable$181 million. In addition the US Government has decided to ‘de-risk' the vaccine production, presumably removing usual safeguards for new vaccines. Can anyone say “Swine Flu of ‘76”?
The US Health and Human Services Department (HHS) is placing orders with manufacturers with which it already has contracts to produce a pandemic vaccine for the never-turned pandemic H5N1 avian flu. More than $3 billion in federal funds since 2005 have gone toward developing, building manufacturing and stockpiling a vaccine to fight that disease. How long do such vaccines hold in stock? No doubt they will find some way to keep their investment from going to waste! Perhaps some 3rd world country could be used for their test market.
It is disturbing to learn that many drug makers are using techniques of genetic manipulation to produce their new vaccine offerings in a race to market. The Maryland drugmaker Novavax which reported severe annual income losses prior to the current Swine Flu scare, now is preparing a genetically modified vaccine they claim is suitable for H1N1 flu.
Free from Liability?
It may surprise you to learn that insurance companies historically have refused to insure vaccine manufacturers against lawsuit for vaccine-related illnesses or deaths. However, under rulings made during the Bush Administration, vaccines can be labeled as “unavoidably unsafe” meaning that when a product is ‘carefully designed, manufactured and marketed, but is dangerous nonetheless,' it is not a defective product, even though it might cause injury. Clear as mud pigs love to frolic in! Today drug makers need have little fear of damages from product liability lawsuits for, ironically, the drug manufactures are now “immune” from any lawsuits. In fact, some might argue this particular immunity is the only one effectively conveyed when someone is vaccinated.
Is Mandatory Vaccination Coming to a Clinic Near You?
At least three US federal laws should concern all Americans and suggest what may be coming - mandatory vaccinations for hyped, non-existant threats, like H1N1 (Swine Flu). Vaccines and drugs like Tamiflu endanger human health but are hugely profitable to drug company manufacturers.
The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (S. 15) became law on July 21, 2004 "to provide protections and countermeasures against chemical, radiological, or nuclear agents that may be used in a terrorist attack against the United States by giving the National Institutes of Health contracting flexibility, infrastructure improvements, and expediting the scientific peer review process, and streamlining the Food and Drug Administration approval process of countermeasures."
In other words, the FDA may now recklessly approve inadequately tested, potentially dangerous vaccines and other drugs if ever the Secretaries of Health and Human Services (HHS) or Defense (DOD) declare a national emergency, whether or not one exists and regardless of whether treatments available are safe and effective. Around $6 billion or more will be spent to develop, produce, and stockpile vaccines and other drugs to counteract claimed bioterror agents.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act slipped under the radar when George Bush signed it into law as part of the 2006 Defense Appropriations Act (HR 2863). It lets the HHS Secretary declare any disease an epidemic or national emergency requiring mandatory vaccinations. Nothing in the Act lists criteria that warrant a threat. Also potential penalties aren't specified for those who balk, but very likely they'd include quarantine and possible fines.
The HHS web site also says the Secretary may "issue a declaration....that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of (vaccine or other pharmaceutical) countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency...."
The industry-run US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notoriously rushes inadequately tested drugs to market, putting their efficacy and safety into question, and turning those who use them into lab rats. It includes everyone if a mass vaccination is ordered on the mere claim of a public emergency - no proof required.
The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (S. 3678) is the other worrisome law, effective December 19, 2006. It amended "the Public Health Service Act with respect to public health security and all-hazards preparedness and response, and for other purposes." Even its supporters worry about issues of privacy, liability, and putting profits over public health. Critics express greater concerns about dangerous remedies for exaggerated or non-existant threats as well as mass hysteria created for political purposes.
At least one other measure is also worrisome - The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA). So far it's just a proposal by the Center for Law and the Public's Health - "A Collaborative at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities (as) a primary, international, national, state, and local resource on public health law (and) policy for public health practitioners, judges, academics, policymakers, and others."
MSEHPA is now "track(ing) legal responses to the emerging international response to the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) outbreak, including declarations of public health emergency at the international, national, state, and local levels...." even though forensic evidence can't confirm any H1N1 deaths. No emergency exists anywhere, and reporting one is all hype to sell dangerous drugs to unsuspecting people globally.
On its web site, the ACLU says this about MSEHPA:
It's "written in a way that doesn't adequately protect citizens against the misuse of the tremendous powers that it would grant in an emergency. (It's) replete with civil liberties problems. Its three top flaws are that:
(1) It fails to include basic checks and balances (by) grant(ing) extraordinary emergency powers (that) should never go unchecked. (It) could have serious consequences for individuals' freedom, privacy, and equality."
(2) "It goes well beyond bioterrorism (with) an overbroad definition of 'public health emergency" that may be anything a local or national authority declares for any reason with no conclusive evidence for proof.
(3) "It lacks privacy protections (and) undercut(s) existing protections for sensitive medical information."
MSEHPA worries other organizations besides the ACLU, both conservative and progressive - including the Free Congress Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, conservative association of state legislators, Human Rights Campaign, and Health Privacy Project.
The Real Threat of Dangerous, Mandatory Vaccinations
In the wake of the hyped Swine Flu scare, media reports suggest mass vaccinations are coming. The May 6 Kimberly Kindy – Ceci Connolly Washington Post one, for example, headlined "US May Add Shots for Swine Flu to Fall Regimen" without saying they'll be mandatory but reading between the lines suggests the possibility this year or later.
The writers report that "The Obama administration is considering an unprecedented fall vaccination campaign" to include regular and Swine Flu shots, the latter because it's "spreading across the globe."
HHS' Dr. Robin Robinson said "We are moving forward with making a vaccine," and if the government proceeds with a national program, enough supply will be produced to provide two doses for all Americans with spokespersons like National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, claiming adverse reactions aren't to be expected and adding another shot for Swine Flu "should not present a problem."
The New York Times also hypes the scare with reports of city schools closed after unconfirmed Swine Flu cases, a few adult deaths blamed on H1N1 bringing the claimed total in the city to seven, and the World Health Organization (WHO) saying on June 3 that it's moving closer to declaring a worldwide (Level 6) Swine Flu pandemic - even though none exists.
With all the hype, misinformation, and willful lies WHO's Dr. Keiji Fukuda, in charge of flu, said only 117 deaths globally have been "blamed" on Swine Flu and any warning may include the caveat that the virus isn't very lethal. A more accurate statement would explain that no forensic evidence links any deaths to H1N1, and influenza annually kills about 30,000 people in America alone - something the major media never report or that scattered accounts of any type flu deaths worldwide are no cause for alarm or reason for scary headlines.
It's also unconscionable for the WHO, US and other nations' officials to spread lies, deception, and hysteria so major pharmaceutical companies can foist dangerous vaccines and other drugs on unsuspecting people, harming their health and making them vulnerable to later diseases and possible early deaths.
Massachusetts May Be A Forerunner of What's to Come
On April 28, the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that rises to the level of martial law. If approved by the House and signed into law, it will mandate among other measures:
-- "vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of" all individuals involved in providing health care - as perhaps step one before ordering the same process for all state residents;
-- owners or occupiers of all premises "to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;"
-- closure, evacuation, and decontamination of all suspected facilities; and
-- restricting or prohibiting "assemblages of persons."
Other states may be planning similar measures as precursors to mandatory nationwide vaccinations and overall suspension of civil liberty protections.
Adverse Vaccination Effects on Gulf War Troops
Before deploying to the Persian Gulf in 1990 - 91 (and thereafter to the present), all US troops got a standard series of inoculations against infectious diseases - the same ones given to all US citizens traveling to the region. After arriving, 150,000 also got anthrax vaccinations and 8,000 botulinum toxoid ones even though concerns were raised about adverse long-term health consequences.
A National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) study was conducted to assess them with results released in September 2000. In December 1997, the Department of Defense (DOD) announced that all US military forces would receive anthrax vaccinations. The Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP) began in March 1998 even though IOM found little published peer-reviewed scientific information on its safety.
In its study, IOM reported evidence of an association between vaccinations studied and transient acute common health effects, including redness, swelling, and fever commonly associated with other vaccinations. However, conclusive proof of long-term problems wasn't determined - likely because study findings were skewed not to find them. More on that below.
IOM also studied botulinum toxoid vaccines and found evidence of an association between the vaccine and transient acute local and systemic effects similar to anthrax vaccinations. Again, conclusive proof of long-term adverse health effects wasn't found - another very dubious conclusion as evidence below explains.
Military personnel usually get multiple vaccinations. IOM studied their effects but didn't prove or disprove any long-term adverse effects. However several independent studies of British Gulf War veterans found some link between multiple vaccinations and later health problems.
Gary Matsumoto is a New York-based award-winning investigative journalist. His 2004 book, "Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers and Why GIs are Only the First Victims" took sharp issue with IOM results and the Pentagon's denial of Gulf War syndrome.
Investigating the shadowy vaccination development world, he discovered US military-employed doctors and scientists conducted secret medical experiments on US citizens in violation of the Nuremberg Code and fundamental medical ethics.
For its part, Nuremberg established legal medical experimental standards now incorporated into ethical medical codes, including:
-- requiring voluntary consent of human subjects without coercion, fraud, deceit, and with full disclosure of known risks;
-- experiments should avoid "all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury;"
-- experiments should never be conducted if there's "an a prior reason to believe death or disabling injury will occur;"
-- risk "should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved..;" and
-- experiments should be terminated if there's reason to believe they'll cause "injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject."
According to Matsumoto, the Pentagon violated these and other standards, betrayed the troops, and the fundamental duty of military and civilian leaders to protect them. Since at least 1987, biowarfare development trumped the welfare of tens of thousands of GIs used as human guinea pigs for inoculation with experimental unlicensed anthrax vaccines containing squalene – an oil-based adjuvant (to enhance immunity) known for decades to cause severe autoimmune diseases in lab animals, yet administered involuntarily without disclosure of its harmful effects to human health.
Matsumoto wrote:
"The unethical experiments detailed in this book are ongoing, with little prospect of being self-limiting because they have been shielded from scrutiny and public accountability by national
security concerns." He suggested the "writing (was) on the wall" of what's to come with prospects now it may be soon.
"When UCLA Medical School's Michael Whitehouse and Frances Beck injected squalene combined with other materials into rats and guinea pigs back in the 1970s, few oils were more effective at causing the animal versions of arthritis and multiple sclerosis."
In 1999, immunologist Dr. Johnny Lorentzen at Sweden's Karolinska Institute found that on injection, an "otherwise benign molecule like squalene can stimulate a self-destructive immune response," even though it occurs naturally in the body.
Other research shows that squalene is the experimental anthrax vaccine ingredient that caused devastating autoimmune diseases and deaths for many Gulf War veterans from the US, UK, and
Australia, yet it continues in use today and for new vaccines development in labs. There's a "close match between the squalene-induced diseases in animals and those observed in humans
injected with this oil: rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus rythematosus."
Other autoimmune diseases are also linked to humans injected with squalene. "There are now data in more than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers, from ten different laboratories in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, documenting that squalene-based adjuvants can induce autoimmune diseases in animals...observed in mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Sweden's Karolinska Institute has demonstrated that squalene alone can induce the animal version of rheumatoid arthritis. The Polish Academy of Sciences has shown that in animals, squalene alone can produce catastrophic injury to the nervous system and the brain. The University of Florida Medical School has shown that in animals, squalene alone can induce production of antibodies specifically associated with systemic lupus erythematosus."
Micropaleontologist Dr. Viera Scheibner conducted research into the adverse effects of adjuvants in vaccines and wrote:
Squalene "contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War syndrome". (GIs developed) arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjorgren's syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever."
Matsumoto's book includes numerous case studies of GIs afflicted with one or more of the above syndromes, their devastating effects, and the outlandish US government reaction - failing to acknowledge their existence or a connection between them and administered vaccines. Also denying the effects of other toxic Gulf theater exposures (like depleted uranium) as well as withholding meaningful treatments or protocols.
US Army Captain George L. Skypeck spoke eloquently for many when he said:
"Was the character of my valor less intense than those at Lexington? Was the pain of my wounds any less severe than those at Normandy? And was my loneliness any less sorrowful than those at Inchon? Then why am I forgotten amongst those remembered as 'heros?'"
If mass vaccinations are ordered, millions of Americans may ask: Why do you keep using unsafe vaccines and other drugs when clear evidence shows their dangers? Why do you jeopardize all Americans by unleashing a future plague of serious illnesses, diseases, and disabilities? Why have you willfully and maliciously ruined my health?
From inception, vaccines have always been dangerous enough for some experts to call them biological weapons undermining health, manipulating and crippling the immune system, and creating the possibility of future debilitating diseases. So Big Pharma's solution is new, more potent genetically engineered vaccines and drugs that may end up harming or killing many who take them, especially people with weakened immune systems.
Matsumoto and others sounded the alarm to alert everyone to avoid these poisons masquerading as protective drugs. In fact, they benefit only the bottom lines of companies that manufacture them and scientists reaping generous royalties.

At least three US federal laws should concern all Americans and suggest what may be coming - mandatory vaccinations for hyped, non-existant threats, like H1N1 (Swine Flu). Vaccines and drugs like Tamiflu endanger human health but are hugely profitable to drug company manufacturers.
The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (S. 15) became law on July 21, 2004 "to provide protections and countermeasures against chemical, radiological, or nuclear agents that may be used in a terrorist attack against the United States by giving the National Institutes of Health contracting flexibility, infrastructure improvements, and expediting the scientific peer review process, and streamlining the Food and Drug Administration approval process of countermeasures."
In other words, the FDA may now recklessly approve inadequately tested, potentially dangerous vaccines and other drugs if ever the Secretaries of Health and Human Services (HHS) or Defense (DOD) declare a national emergency, whether or not one exists and regardless of whether treatments available are safe and effective. Around $6 billion or more will be spent to develop, produce, and stockpile vaccines and other drugs to counteract claimed bioterror agents.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act slipped under the radar when George Bush signed it into law as part of the 2006 Defense Appropriations Act (HR 2863). It lets the HHS Secretary declare any disease an epidemic or national emergency requiring mandatory vaccinations. Nothing in the Act lists criteria that warrant a threat. Also potential penalties aren't specified for those who balk, but very likely they'd include quarantine and possible fines.
The HHS web site also says the Secretary may "issue a declaration....that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of (vaccine or other pharmaceutical) countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency...."
The industry-run US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notoriously rushes inadequately tested drugs to market, putting their efficacy and safety into question, and turning those who use them into lab rats. It includes everyone if a mass vaccination is ordered on the mere claim of a public emergency - no proof required.
The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (S. 3678) is the other worrisome law, effective December 19, 2006. It amended "the Public Health Service Act with respect to public health security and all-hazards preparedness and response, and for other purposes." Even its supporters worry about issues of privacy, liability, and putting profits over public health. Critics express greater concerns about dangerous remedies for exaggerated or non-existant threats as well as mass hysteria created for political purposes.
At least one other measure is also worrisome - The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA). So far it's just a proposal by the Center for Law and the Public's Health - "A Collaborative at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities (as) a primary, international, national, state, and local resource on public health law (and) policy for public health practitioners, judges, academics, policymakers, and others."
MSEHPA is now "track(ing) legal responses to the emerging international response to the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) outbreak, including declarations of public health emergency at the international, national, state, and local levels...." even though forensic evidence can't confirm any H1N1 deaths. No emergency exists anywhere, and reporting one is all hype to sell dangerous drugs to unsuspecting people globally.
On its web site, the ACLU says this about MSEHPA:
It's "written in a way that doesn't adequately protect citizens against the misuse of the tremendous powers that it would grant in an emergency. (It's) replete with civil liberties problems. Its three top flaws are that:
(1) It fails to include basic checks and balances (by) grant(ing) extraordinary emergency powers (that) should never go unchecked. (It) could have serious consequences for individuals' freedom, privacy, and equality."
(2) "It goes well beyond bioterrorism (with) an overbroad definition of 'public health emergency" that may be anything a local or national authority declares for any reason with no conclusive evidence for proof.
(3) "It lacks privacy protections (and) undercut(s) existing protections for sensitive medical information."
MSEHPA worries other organizations besides the ACLU, both conservative and progressive - including the Free Congress Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, conservative association of state legislators, Human Rights Campaign, and Health Privacy Project.
The Real Threat of Dangerous, Mandatory Vaccinations
In the wake of the hyped Swine Flu scare, media reports suggest mass vaccinations are coming. The May 6 Kimberly Kindy – Ceci Connolly Washington Post one, for example, headlined "US May Add Shots for Swine Flu to Fall Regimen" without saying they'll be mandatory but reading between the lines suggests the possibility this year or later.
The writers report that "The Obama administration is considering an unprecedented fall vaccination campaign" to include regular and Swine Flu shots, the latter because it's "spreading across the globe."
HHS' Dr. Robin Robinson said "We are moving forward with making a vaccine," and if the government proceeds with a national program, enough supply will be produced to provide two doses for all Americans with spokespersons like National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, claiming adverse reactions aren't to be expected and adding another shot for Swine Flu "should not present a problem."
The New York Times also hypes the scare with reports of city schools closed after unconfirmed Swine Flu cases, a few adult deaths blamed on H1N1 bringing the claimed total in the city to seven, and the World Health Organization (WHO) saying on June 3 that it's moving closer to declaring a worldwide (Level 6) Swine Flu pandemic - even though none exists.
With all the hype, misinformation, and willful lies WHO's Dr. Keiji Fukuda, in charge of flu, said only 117 deaths globally have been "blamed" on Swine Flu and any warning may include the caveat that the virus isn't very lethal. A more accurate statement would explain that no forensic evidence links any deaths to H1N1, and influenza annually kills about 30,000 people in America alone - something the major media never report or that scattered accounts of any type flu deaths worldwide are no cause for alarm or reason for scary headlines.
It's also unconscionable for the WHO, US and other nations' officials to spread lies, deception, and hysteria so major pharmaceutical companies can foist dangerous vaccines and other drugs on unsuspecting people, harming their health and making them vulnerable to later diseases and possible early deaths.
Massachusetts May Be A Forerunner of What's to Come
On April 28, the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that rises to the level of martial law. If approved by the House and signed into law, it will mandate among other measures:
-- "vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of" all individuals involved in providing health care - as perhaps step one before ordering the same process for all state residents;
-- owners or occupiers of all premises "to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;"
-- closure, evacuation, and decontamination of all suspected facilities; and
-- restricting or prohibiting "assemblages of persons."
Other states may be planning similar measures as precursors to mandatory nationwide vaccinations and overall suspension of civil liberty protections.
Adverse Vaccination Effects on Gulf War Troops
Before deploying to the Persian Gulf in 1990 - 91 (and thereafter to the present), all US troops got a standard series of inoculations against infectious diseases - the same ones given to all US citizens traveling to the region. After arriving, 150,000 also got anthrax vaccinations and 8,000 botulinum toxoid ones even though concerns were raised about adverse long-term health consequences.
A National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) study was conducted to assess them with results released in September 2000. In December 1997, the Department of Defense (DOD) announced that all US military forces would receive anthrax vaccinations. The Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP) began in March 1998 even though IOM found little published peer-reviewed scientific information on its safety.
In its study, IOM reported evidence of an association between vaccinations studied and transient acute common health effects, including redness, swelling, and fever commonly associated with other vaccinations. However, conclusive proof of long-term problems wasn't determined - likely because study findings were skewed not to find them. More on that below.
IOM also studied botulinum toxoid vaccines and found evidence of an association between the vaccine and transient acute local and systemic effects similar to anthrax vaccinations. Again, conclusive proof of long-term adverse health effects wasn't found - another very dubious conclusion as evidence below explains.
Military personnel usually get multiple vaccinations. IOM studied their effects but didn't prove or disprove any long-term adverse effects. However several independent studies of British Gulf War veterans found some link between multiple vaccinations and later health problems.
Gary Matsumoto is a New York-based award-winning investigative journalist. His 2004 book, "Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers and Why GIs are Only the First Victims" took sharp issue with IOM results and the Pentagon's denial of Gulf War syndrome.
Investigating the shadowy vaccination development world, he discovered US military-employed doctors and scientists conducted secret medical experiments on US citizens in violation of the Nuremberg Code and fundamental medical ethics.
For its part, Nuremberg established legal medical experimental standards now incorporated into ethical medical codes, including:
-- requiring voluntary consent of human subjects without coercion, fraud, deceit, and with full disclosure of known risks;
-- experiments should avoid "all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury;"
-- experiments should never be conducted if there's "an a prior reason to believe death or disabling injury will occur;"
-- risk "should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved..;" and
-- experiments should be terminated if there's reason to believe they'll cause "injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject."
According to Matsumoto, the Pentagon violated these and other standards, betrayed the troops, and the fundamental duty of military and civilian leaders to protect them. Since at least 1987, biowarfare development trumped the welfare of tens of thousands of GIs used as human guinea pigs for inoculation with experimental unlicensed anthrax vaccines containing squalene – an oil-based adjuvant (to enhance immunity) known for decades to cause severe autoimmune diseases in lab animals, yet administered involuntarily without disclosure of its harmful effects to human health.
Matsumoto wrote:
"The unethical experiments detailed in this book are ongoing, with little prospect of being self-limiting because they have been shielded from scrutiny and public accountability by national
security concerns." He suggested the "writing (was) on the wall" of what's to come with prospects now it may be soon.
"When UCLA Medical School's Michael Whitehouse and Frances Beck injected squalene combined with other materials into rats and guinea pigs back in the 1970s, few oils were more effective at causing the animal versions of arthritis and multiple sclerosis."
In 1999, immunologist Dr. Johnny Lorentzen at Sweden's Karolinska Institute found that on injection, an "otherwise benign molecule like squalene can stimulate a self-destructive immune response," even though it occurs naturally in the body.
Other research shows that squalene is the experimental anthrax vaccine ingredient that caused devastating autoimmune diseases and deaths for many Gulf War veterans from the US, UK, and
Australia, yet it continues in use today and for new vaccines development in labs. There's a "close match between the squalene-induced diseases in animals and those observed in humans
injected with this oil: rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus rythematosus."
Other autoimmune diseases are also linked to humans injected with squalene. "There are now data in more than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers, from ten different laboratories in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, documenting that squalene-based adjuvants can induce autoimmune diseases in animals...observed in mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Sweden's Karolinska Institute has demonstrated that squalene alone can induce the animal version of rheumatoid arthritis. The Polish Academy of Sciences has shown that in animals, squalene alone can produce catastrophic injury to the nervous system and the brain. The University of Florida Medical School has shown that in animals, squalene alone can induce production of antibodies specifically associated with systemic lupus erythematosus."
Micropaleontologist Dr. Viera Scheibner conducted research into the adverse effects of adjuvants in vaccines and wrote:
Squalene "contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War syndrome". (GIs developed) arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjorgren's syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever."
Matsumoto's book includes numerous case studies of GIs afflicted with one or more of the above syndromes, their devastating effects, and the outlandish US government reaction - failing to acknowledge their existence or a connection between them and administered vaccines. Also denying the effects of other toxic Gulf theater exposures (like depleted uranium) as well as withholding meaningful treatments or protocols.
US Army Captain George L. Skypeck spoke eloquently for many when he said:
"Was the character of my valor less intense than those at Lexington? Was the pain of my wounds any less severe than those at Normandy? And was my loneliness any less sorrowful than those at Inchon? Then why am I forgotten amongst those remembered as 'heros?'"
If mass vaccinations are ordered, millions of Americans may ask: Why do you keep using unsafe vaccines and other drugs when clear evidence shows their dangers? Why do you jeopardize all Americans by unleashing a future plague of serious illnesses, diseases, and disabilities? Why have you willfully and maliciously ruined my health?
From inception, vaccines have always been dangerous enough for some experts to call them biological weapons undermining health, manipulating and crippling the immune system, and creating the possibility of future debilitating diseases. So Big Pharma's solution is new, more potent genetically engineered vaccines and drugs that may end up harming or killing many who take them, especially people with weakened immune systems.
Matsumoto and others sounded the alarm to alert everyone to avoid these poisons masquerading as protective drugs. In fact, they benefit only the bottom lines of companies that manufacture them and scientists reaping generous royalties.

THE AUTISM/VACCINE CONNECTION: Could the Government be Dead Wrong?
by: Paula Rothstein
What happened on February 12, 2009 in Washington, D.C.?
Whenever I discuss vaccine safety with those influenced solely by today's news coverage I am quickly put on the defensive, being asked to explain why our government's vaccine courts have ruled against the vaccine link to autism as they did most recently on February 12, 2009. The safety of vaccines as determined by a vaccine court is fraught with conflict of interest and lack of appropriate research. The government mandates vaccines and therefore it is not in their interest to find fault with these vaccines and since decisions cannot be determined in a civil court unless first decided in vaccine court, it is hard to get a decision which calls into question the CDC's agressive vaccination schedule.
Wendy Fournier, president of the National Autism Association, explains the recent court decision quite well in the following short video as she was recently interviewed for a news station on this subject: http://www.abc6.com/news/39518632.html
You need to first understand that no independent studies (i.e. one not funded by the pharmaceutical drug companies) have ever been performed on vaccines and no studies have ever been performed comparing the unvaccinated to the vaccinated to weigh both benefits and risks. Without these studies the government can declare these vaccines to be safe. As so often is the case with our government, the fox is in charge of the hen house. Also lacking are studies weighing the cumulative effects of all these toxins as injected via vaccines. And we wonder why parents' stories appear purely speculative! As a non-believer of the connection one can easily dismiss the link of vaccine leading to autism for lack of proof but it is the parent who knows their child best, carefully observing their child following vaccination, one day later, one week later, one month later and so on until finally one day their doctor gives a diagnosis of autism. Yet the parent noted almost immediately a change in behavior and speech -- they witnessed their precious child's withdrawal from the world that started almost immediately after a round of vaccinations but it is months of regression before anyone will confirm that, yes, their child is changed. And then they are told that the timing is merely a coincidence! Thousands of stories that read almost exactly the same and yet it is just a coincidence!
Whether or not to vaccinate is indeed a complex issue. When first deciding to approach vaccines differently with my second child I spent numerous hours researching a subject that I previously knew nothing about. It is an enormous hurdle to dismiss years of one-sided information on an issue, one which involves the health of a child vs. the trust of both our government and medical profession. This is huge! It is a very personal decision and it is that very decision that must be protected. With each passing day, as we march towards universal health coverage and an ever intrusive government, it appears this personal decision must be protected against the very government that was designed to safeguard its citizens.
You can argue whether or not vaccinations are a useful tool against disease but the argument stops when it becomes whether or not a parent should have the right to make health decisions for a child. I have yet to find one single parent who chooses not to vaccinate be anything less than the most conscientious parent for it is the parent who decides to go against her doctor's wishes who has read a great deal on the subject, usually to the point of great proficiency -- most often surpassing her own doctor's knowledge on the subject. Whereas it is the parent who vaccinates who has read nothing more than the pamphlet found in their pediatrician's office - the pamphlet published by the pharmaceutical company marketing the vaccine. Sometimes their knowledge does not even go this far. Unfortunately, it often takes a personal tragedy before a parent comes to question the legitimacy of allopathic medicine.
If one can be so quick to believe that a large group of parents are mislead on the issue of vaccinations why is it so difficult to imagine that the government and drug companies could be dead wrong on this issue?
These are unique times in the history of modern medicine as we have come to lean so heavily upon pharmaceuticals for our health and less and less upon our natural ability to fight disease. It is time to start listening to the instincts of thousands upon thousands of parents who say their children regressed into autism shortly after receiving a round of vaccinations at least to the extent we provide them with independent research to confirm the truth.
As parents considering whether or not to vaccinate, the autism connection cannot be over simplified, blaming one ingredient used in vaccines or even one shot in particular. It is most likely the cumulative damage of too many vaccines as mandated by the CDC possibly acting as the trigger of this disease as well as many other diseases suspiciously on the rise in our children. A parent should spend as much time researching the safety of vaccines as they would on any other issue involving the health and well being of their child.

TREATMENT: ON VACCINES
The following is a three point plan posted at Generation Rescue that could help improve your child's chances against acquiring vaccine damage.
(Posted on Generation Rescue)
Our message to the CDC and AAP: "Green our vaccines, and administer them with greater care."
As a parent contemplating vaccinating their child, we would offer the following 3-point plan to try to minimize the potential risks from vaccines. (Please note that we are parents, not doctors. What follows is not medical advice, it is the opinion of parents. Anything written here should be reviewed with a qualified physician. We are not giving you medical advice nor are we qualified to do so.)
1. Take Precaution
• Consider delaying vaccines until your child is 18-24 months old.
• Do not vaccinate if your child is taking antibiotics.
• Consider no more than one vaccine per doctor’s visit.
• If you plan to get the MMR vaccine, ask your doctor to give it in three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella.
• Consider giving high doses of Vitamin C (3,000-5,000 mg per day) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
• With the measles vaccine (MMR), consider high doses of Vitamin A (5,000 IU or more) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
• If your child experiences any developmental delays, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
• If your child has an adverse reaction to a vaccine, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
• Always ask to see the vaccine insert, and never accept a vaccine that uses the preservative Thimerosal (mercury). For a complete list of vaccines with Thimerosal, see the FDA’s website here. Note: most flu shots today still contain Thimerosal.
2. Consider delaying vaccines
In our favorite article on vaccines, A User-Friendly Vaccine Schedule, written by University of Washington surgeon Donald Miller, M.D., Dr. Miller makes a number of interesting observations including:
"Public health officials, however, have not proven that it is indeed safe to inject this many vaccines into infants. What's more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurologic and immune system disorders in our nation’s children."
And:
"New knowledge in neuroimmunology (the study of how the brain’s immune system works) raises serious questions about the wisdom of injecting vaccines in children less than two years of age."
Dr. Miller’s recommendation: don’t start vaccinating your child until they turn two years old.
3. Consider an alternative schedule to the CDC’s current schedule.
It really is shocking to look at the 1983 recommended vaccine schedule and compare it to 2008. Does a child really need so many more vaccines today? Quiz your doctor by asking them how many vaccines were on the schedule in the 1980s. We have found that most have no idea.
Three potential alternative schedules to consider:
I. Listen to the Doctor (Our favorite)
Comment: Donald Miller, M.D., is a surgeon at the University of Washington. His article, A User-Friendly Vaccine Schedule, is summarized into this schedule.
II. Turn back the clock
Comment: This is the schedule from 1983. If it worked for kids then, why doesn't it work for kids now?
III. Go Danish
Comment: Denmark is a first world country based in Western Europe. Their schedule appears far more reasonable than ours. They have also been reported to have a much lower rate of autism than the U.S. Do they know something we don't?

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ABOUND IN THE VACCINE DEBATE: Is Your Child Safe from the Scoundrels of Medicine?
By: Paula Rothstein
In response to a court case regarding Michelle Cedillo (one of thousands of families attempting to establish the connection between vaccines and their child's autism), Dr. Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania claims the apparent connection between vaccines and autism is "nothing more than a sad coincidence".
Imagine being the parent (and there are many!) who watched their child's fast retreat into silence and disability following a round of vaccinations upon hearing this incomprehensible dismissal of their reality!
Should all parents of children, believed to be vaccine damaged, accept that this remarkable timing of disease onset and their child’s “wellness visit” is a mere coincidence? Should they stop sifting through the thousands of pages of research by reputable doctors and scientists exposing the darker side of vaccines simply because Dr. Offit declared this epidemic to be nothing more than a SAD COINCIDENCE?
As a parent who has been researching vaccine damage for years, I say let's look at the man, Dr. Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. His title would lead us to believe his knowledge should be greater than our own but is he to be trusted?
Without digging too deep into the heart and soul of this individual, we know that he is someone who makes outlandish statements on the issue of vaccine safety in order to make parents feel small and silly for questioning safety. In addition to the "sad coincidence" statement, Dr. Offit once stated that "an infant can safely receive up to 10,000 vaccines at once". Perhaps Dr. Offit would like to prove his theory by allowing himself to be injected with 10,000 vaccines! In fact, line all the scoundrels up who wish to play Russian roulette with our children's health and give them a dose of their own medicine.
Here's just a little professional background on Dr. Paul Offit. He is not just a doctor who firmly believes vaccines save lives and will stand by medicine no matter how much conflicting evidence gets in the way. No, Dr. Offit is actually one of the patent holders of the rotavirus vaccine (Patent Application number 353547) and the recipient of a $350,000 grant from Merck for its development. Additionally, he is a consultant to Merck Pharmaceuticals.
Additionally, he is a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) which is comprised of a 15 member panel of "immunization experts" (so knowledgeable on the subject of vaccine safety as to have concluded that your infant would be safe receiving 10,000 vaccines at one time!). The ACIP is responsible for providing advice and guidelines to the Secretary for Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on vaccine-preventable diseases. Would you have imagined that an individual who profits from vaccines is one of 15 who will vote on vaccine safety? Nothing should surprise us anymore.
As a member of the ACIP, starting in 1998, Dr. Offit voted “yes” three times out of four on issues pertaining to the ACIP’s rotavirus statement, including a vote for his own vaccine to be included in the immunization schedule. I would call that a conflict of interest and a moral individual would excuse himself from voting on a vaccine from which they are to receive financial benefit. But then again we are talking about pharmaceutical drug profit here so morality does not play a role in the decision making process.
When presented with information regarding safety of vaccines, it would be nice if we could trust and believe the medical profession. Unfortunately, Dr. Offit is not just an exception to the rule but the standard bearer. Conflicts are everywhere you look in this hotly debated topic, as profits are quite extraordinary.
In the meantime, thousands of parents each year will continue to experience the "sad coincidence" of witnessing their child's health dramatically deteriorate following a "wellness visit" at their pediatrician's office.
As parents, it is acceptable and encouraged that we research the safety of all products that our children are to use, car seat safety, food they will be eating, chemicals used in the home, etc., etc., but dare we question the safety of a vaccine schedule that inflicts over 20 injections in the first two years of their lives - at a time when their immune system is the most vulnerable – we will be met with belittling comments from a know-it-all medical professional who has profited greatly from the very products we dare to question.

GARDASIL VACCINE: Merck’s Latest Billion Dollar Scam
By: Paula Rothstein
If you are cautiously considering whether or not you should succumb to the will of the drug companies, government officials, and/or medical profession and have your teenage daughter vaccinated with Gardasil to POSSIBLY protect her against cervical cancer – you are right to be concerned! In a very short period of time, thousands of young girls have experienced serious side effects, sometimes resulting in emergency medical treatment, following receipt of Merck’s new “wonder vaccine” Gardasil. There have also been 11 fatalities reported.
Following quickly on the heels of this drug’s wrecklessly fast approval was the state mandate for 11 year old girls to receive this vaccine before allowing them to attend school. As though we are dealing with a dangerous outbreak of an airborne virus! The audacity of drug companies – immune from lawsuits and a government charged with our protection from these greedy companies -- to test drug safety on humans, and not even by first garnering consent but actual manipulation of minds through sunshine filled marketing campaigns and as a last resort threat and force. How is it we lock people away in prison for manslaughter but drug pushers (of the pharmaceutical kind!) and government officials guilty of murder not only roam free but make their fortune through destruction of human life and health?
This is a drug that, I can only hope, will eventually be removed from the market as absolute junk and (rightfully) declared dangerous to the health and life of young women. But in the meantime, what are you as a parent feeling the pressure, supposed to do?
First, know that you have a choice. Understand forced vaccination is illegal and all vaccination requires knowledge before consent.
Benefits vs. Risks
The Benefits (If there is no previous HPV infection present in the body):
POSSIBLE elimination or reduction of 2 of the 127+ strains of HPV that may cause cervical cancer.
POSSIBLE elimination or reduction in the number of cases of genital warts.
POSSIBLE protection against FOUR strains of HPV for up to five years. The FDA website states that a time frame for efficacy had not yet been determined. It isn’t known when a booster would be needed.
The Risks:
In addition to the usual side effects that accompany any vaccination, such as nausea, dizziness, swelling and or pain and the injection site, mild to moderate fever, dehydration, and headache the following serious side effects are a very real possibility: Hyperventilation, muscle spasms, vomiting, blurred vision, speech disorder, falling, syncope (fainting), rash, chills, pallor, tremors, Guillain-Barre syndrome, weakness in extremities, paralysis, Hypoaesthesia-impaired or decreases tactile sensibility, convulsions, Erythema -abnormal redness of the skin, enlarged lymph nodes that may have to be removed, abnormal skin sensations, inability to swallow, skin ulcers, seizures, Bells Palsy, all have been reported after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.
Aside from being injected with four types of HPV proteins, girls and women who receive this vaccine should know what else is in the shot:
1. Aluminum adjuvants, which have been linked to neurological damage including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
2. Polysorbate 80, which has been linked to infertility in mice.
3. Sodium borate, a main ingredient in roach killer.
In a relatively short period of time, there have been 11 young women killed as a result of receiving this vaccine. Are we to believe POSSIBLE prevention is worth the risk of death? Additionally, over 3,000 adverse reactions have been reported, with more than 50% requiring emergency room care. This information is posted on the FDA web site, as compiled by Judicial Watch. Keep in mind this is merely the short-term consequences of an unproven drug. Could this drug have other adverse effects, such as impaired fertility or infertility? Could it cause a different health condition, another form of cancer? In one recent news story, a woman is saying the HPV vaccine caused paralysis in her 12 yer old daughter. That is a very high price to pay for possible protection against one (of many) diseases that may be acquired in a lifetime.
New Video Reveals Hidden Risk -- (approx. 10 minutes long)
As you weigh risk vs. possible prevention, consider the following information as taken directly from an FDA document regarding Gardasil. (To view this document in its entirety, continue here.) I believe these quotes aptly address the relevance, or even irrelevance of Gardasil – assuming the risks are as numerous as initial reports would lend one to believe.
“Most women who become infected with HPV are able to eradicate the virus and suffer no apparent long-term consequences to their health. But a few women develop a persistent infection that can eventually lead to pre-cancerous changes in the cervix.” “. . .most infections are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer.”
“...vaccination with GardasilTM of the women who are already sero-positive and PCR-positive for vaccine-relevant genotypes of HPV has been found to increase the risk of developing high-grade precancerous lesions by 44.6%, according to an FDA VRBPAC Background Document: GardasilTM HPV Quadrivalent Vaccine. May 18, 2006 VRBPAC Meeting.”
“...based on a Background Document submitted to the FDA by Merck & Co., Inc. [14], injection of HPV vaccines into women who have concurrent vaccine-relevant HPV type infections may increase the risk by 44.6%, of developing high-grade precancerous lesions in the cervix. Therefore, it would be prudent to perform a sensitive HPV detection assay with accurate genotype determination on the patients to be vaccinated if prior HPV infection is suspected.”
“Most HPV infections occur without any symptoms and go away without any treatment over the course of a few years. However, HPV infection sometimes persists for many years, with or without causing cell abnormalities.”
“Some types of HPV are referred to as “low-risk” viruses because they rarely develop into cancer. HPV types that are more likely to lead to the development of cancer are referred to as “high-risk. ” Both high-risk and low-risk types of HPV can cause the growth of abnormal cells, but generally only the high-risk types of HPV may lead to cancer. Sexually transmitted, high-risk HPVs include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 69, and possibly a few others. These high-risk types of HPV cause growths that are usually flat and nearly invisible, as compared with the warts caused by types HPV-6 and HPV-11. It is important to note, however, that the majority of high-risk HPV infections go away on their own and do not cause cancer.”
“...of the women who do develop abnormal cell changes with high-risk types of HPV, only a small percentage would develop cervical cancer if the abnormal cells were not removed. Studies suggest that whether a woman develops cervical cancer depends on a variety of factors acting together with high-risk HPVs. The factors that may increase the risk of cervical cancer in women with HPV infection include smoking and having many children.”
We have so-called "experts" that say this vaccine is absolutely necessary and will most likely prevent cervical cancer. I find a conflict of interest at the core of most drug-pushing and this particular drug is by no means an exception. Conflict of interest abounds in this industry. Of course, Merck has limitless funds to inflict a fear-based “safety” campaign on an uninformed public. The mind games being inflicted on parents via a rigorous public relations campaign is akin to a new form of terrorism. Vaccination is a choice and a very big one at that. Ask yourself this: Why should prevention of disease carry the risk of serious harm or even fatal results?
Merck is in denial regarding the harm this drug is inflicting but, of course, when you are making millions, even billions in profits, why should we expect anything less than a full-scale media blitz proclaiming Gardasil’s safety, in spite of evidence to the contrary?

Vaccine Quotes Worth Repeating:
"The only safe vaccine is one that is never used." Dr. James R. Shannon, former Director, National Institute of Health
"Live virus vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus against measles and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage)" Jonas and Darrell Salk, 1977
"The DEATH RATE from smallpox was actually higher among those who had been vaccinated."
"It took over three years of research before we looked at each other and said 'Vaccines are killing babies'."
"It is a well documented fact that the incidence and mortality from infectious diseases fell by 90% well before any vaccine was even introduced... So [the U.S.] mandated vaccination and it resulted in a three-fold increase in whooping cough..."
"This is not a rare occurrence. Epidemics in fully vaccinated populations are a rule rather than an exception..."

Building a Child's Immunity the Natural Way
By: Cathy Sherman
New Jersey's Public Health Council gave its citizens a Christmas present that will not please the health-conscious, as it became the first state in the nation to require flu shots for preschoolers. Starting in September of 2008, all children attending preschool or licensed day care centers will have to get an annual flu shot. The state will cover the cost to low-income families, and private insurers will generally cover the cost to their customers. But cost is not the objection to this ruling that is sure to ignite controversy.
This law is problematic not only legally, as a challenge to our liberties, but in its health effects as well. Vaccines are dangerous for the health of any individual, but when administered to small children in their important developmental years, they are especially damaging. Medical "experts" have not even determined the correct dosages for small children, who in this regard are not just small adults. When we talk about daycare, we are talking about babies as young as a few months of age. Additionally, not only do vaccines usually contain mercury, but many lack effectiveness and can cause problems with the development of the child's natural immune system.
Mercury and thimerosal are preservatives used in vaccines, including most flu vaccines. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is no proven link between autism and the preservatives. Coincidentally, New Jersey happens to be the state with the country's highest rate of autism; one in 94 children there is on the autism spectrum, with behavioral and communication problems ranging from barely noticeable to completely debilitating. The usual rate for autism is one in 150. So parents are not so sure they are being told the truth by the CDC.

HEPATITIS B VACCINE: Should you allow your infant to receive this most dangerous of inoculations?
The following information is provided to inform and, hopefully, discourage new parents from allowing their newborn baby to receive this most dangerous of vaccinations. Infant vaccines are particularly dangerous when given before the age of six weeks because the blood brain barrier has not yet developed, leaving them even more vulnerable to the toxins contained in the vaccine.
Michael Belkin Testimony to Congress
Tuesday, May 18,1999
My daughter Lyla Rose Belkin died on September 16, 1998 at the age of five weeks, about 15 hours after receiving her second Hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. Lyla was a lively, alert five-week-old baby when I last held her in my arms. Little did I imagine as she gazed intently into my eyes with all the innocence and wonder of a newborn child that she would die that night. She was never ill before receiving the Hepatitis B shot that afternoon. At her final feeding that night, she was extremely agitated, noisy and feisty -- and then she fell asleep suddenly and stopped breathing. The autopsy ruled out choking, The NY Medical Examiner ruled her death Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
But the NY Medical Examiner (Dr. Persechino) neglected to mention Lyla's swollen brain or the hepatitis B vaccine in the autopsy report. The coroner spoke to my wife and I and our pediatrician (Dr. Zullo) the day of the autopsy and clearly stated that her brain was swollen. The pediatrician Dr. Zullo's notes of that conversation are "brain swollen ... not sure cause yet ... could not see how recombinant vaccine could cause problem."
SIDS is a diagnosis of exclusion .. "it wasn't this, it wasn't that, everything has been ruled out and we don't know what it was." A swollen brain is not SIDS. Through conversations with other experienced pathologists, I subsequently discovered that brain inflammation is a classic adverse reaction to vaccination (with any vaccine) in the medical literature.
I set out to do an investigation of the hepatitis B vaccine and attended a workshop at the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine on "Neo-Natal Death and the Hepatitis B Vaccine," the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) February' meeting and a debate in New Hampshire between the Chairman of the ACIP Dr. Modlin and Dr. Waisbren about the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine. I also obtained the entire Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database on hepatitis B vaccine adverse reactions and have investigated it thoroughly.
These are my conclusions, supported by the following pages of text and analysis that are too lengthy to present in entirety in the time allotted for this appearance. Please read the results of my investigation, as it will help you understand the magnitude of the hepatitis B vaccine issue.
● Newborn babies are not at risk of contracting the hepatitis B disease unless their mother is infected Hepatitis B is primarily a disease of junkies, gays, and promiscuous heterosexuals;
● The vaccine is given to babies because health authorities couldn't get those risk groups to take the vaccine;
● Adverse reactions out-number cases of the disease in government statistics;
● Nothing is being done to investigate those adverse reactions;
● Those adverse reactions include numerous deaths, convsions and arthritic conditions that occur within days after hepatitis B vaccination;
● The CDC is misrepresenting hypothetical, estimated disease statistics as real cases of the disease;
● The ACIP is recommending new vaccines for premature infants without having scientific studies proving it is safe;
● The US vaccine recommendation process is hopelessly compromised by conflicts of interest with vaccine manufacturers, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC.
Conclusion: If (as with the recently-recommended rotavirus vaccine) hepatitis B vaccine was recommended in 1991 without scientific proof that it was safe in a broad sample of racially and genetically diverse babies less than 48 hours old before they established that recommendation, then the CDC has been experimenting on babies like guinea pigs and this Committee should suspend that universal immunization policy.

Points to consider with regards to vaccines:
Vaccines are not safe: vaccines are dangerous. The evidence is abundant that the tragic cost of loading babies and children up with toxic brews of mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, injected foreign protein, stealth viruses and, in the second generation vaccines, the deadly immune enhancer squalene, is unacceptably high. Lives are ruined and lost in these children when toxins overwhelm their immune systems and brains and cause tragic, totally preventable suffering and death.
Vaccines have not eradicated diseases: vaccines spread diseases. Attenuated viruses (infective, weakened versions of the dangerous ones) are commonly used in vaccines so that your body will develop an immune "memory" for that virus. The next time your immune system meets that specific virus, it rapidly combats it by producing large numbers of antibodies. This practice and theory derive from the dawn of vaccination: Edward Jenner’s pioneering use of cowpox pus inoculations to eliminate smallpox. This innovative and surprising medical treatment is touted as one of the triumphs of modern medicine. It makes a wonderful story but, in fact, inoculation not only spread smallpox, it caused well-documented epidemics of syphilis and leprosy in inoculated people, especially babies (who have immature immune systems).
Flu vaccines do not protect people from flu-related deaths. The CDC claims that an astonishing 36,000 people die from flu in an average year. But according to the former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, 68 people under 65 die from flu each year in the US. The truth is that in 4 years, a total 4,440 people, mostly elderly, died from flu, no where near the CDC’s touted 144,000 deaths. While that figure is great for flu vaccine sales, it derivers not from reality but from the CDC’s industry-friendly statistical trick of classifying all pneumonia-related deaths, despite any lack of evidence, as flu deaths. Discussing this nonsense, Lone Simonsen of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/NIH, writes in The Archives of Internal Medicine "We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group. Because fewer than 10% of all winter deaths were attributable to influenza in any season, we conclude that observational studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit."
Potential pandemic viral diseases like the Bird Flu do not have safe and effective vaccines to prevent them and there are no drugs to treat them effectively. Despite that fact, on September 15, 2005 the US purchased $100 Million of a French experimental flu vaccine designed to protect against bird flu. It’s so experimental, in fact, that although we have purchased megabucks worth of the stuff, the French manufacturer, Sanofi-Pasteur, is planning to experiment with adjutants (immune response enhancers) to rev up human response to it. Perhaps the adjuvant is the same one that the Army used in the deadly Vaccine A against anthrax: squalene. The purchase is real, but there is currently no such thing as a vaccine for pandemic bird flu.

CRIB DEATH OR VACCINE DEATH?
by Tedd Koren, D.C.
Crib death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) kills more than 10,000 babies each year and is the second largest cause of infant deaths in the U.S. (congenital malformations are first).
Its cause is unknown. Or is it?
In 1985 in Australia, Viera Scheibner, Ph.D. a retired principal research scientist with more than 90 published scientific papers in refereed journals to her credit, met Leif Karlsson, a biomedical electronics engineer specializing in patient monitoring systems. They developed the Cotwatch, a breathing monitor used for babies thought to be at risk of crib death or SIDS.
Their findings surprised them. "Without endeavoring to do so... [we found that] the babies' breathing was affected in a certain characteristic manner and over a long period of time [40-65 days] following DPT injections.... We also learned from the parents of crib death infants that most commonly the child had died after DPT injection," said Dr. Scheibner.
As she continued her research, the link between crib death and vaccination became painfully obvious -- and undeniable. "There was a significant and clear clustering of these (crib) deaths" around the time of vaccination."

SIDS and Vaccination Citations.
If you would like to read an excellent book on the subject of vaccinations, I highly recommend "Vaccine Guide: Risks and Benefits for Children and Adults".
Book Description: The Vaccine Guide covers each disease and its vaccine, providing difficult-to-obtain facts about vaccine reactions. Also discussed are vaccine effectiveness, toxicity and adverse effects, legal requirements, alternatives, and the latest information on the threat of bioterrorism. New to this edition are topics of particular concern to adults, including smallpox and anthrax vaccines, flu shots, and new conditions linked to vaccine reactions.
