Thanks
to VacLib member, Amy, for doing a great job compiling this incredible and
thorough list of reasons!
20 Reasons Not To Take the
New Smallpox Vaccine
by Amy Worthington
1. George W. Bush has said of smallpox vaccination: "One
of my concerns if we were to have universal vaccination, some might lose their
life." ~The Times (in London), November 09, 2001
2. For each million people vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine, as many
as 250 could die, according to the American Medical Association. Multiply
250 times 285 (millions of Americans) and the possible deaths from
universal smallpox vaccination could equal 71,250. ~ Journal of the
American Medical Association, June 9, 1999, Vol. 281, No. 22, p. 2132
3. "The American Medical Association said on Tuesday it was not in
favor of an immediate mass U.S. smallpox vaccination program, saying the
potential threat of a bioterror attack did not warrant inoculating every
American against the disease." ~Reuters, December 12, 2001
4. "Right now the risk of getting the vaccine is higher than the
benefit. You could get a secondary infection, a full-blown systemic
infection." ~Marie Rau, Panhandle Health District nurse, quoted
by The Spokesman-Review, November 20, 2001
5. CDC director Jeffrey Koplan has admitted that universal smallpox
vaccination could unleash a significant number of side-effects. He said that
because many parts of our population do not have a "robust immune
system," a fair number of people could have serious
reactions. ~Koplan speaking on the PBS special
"Bioterror Propaganda"
aired by WETA, November 14, 2001
6. If the entire nation were to receive a smallpox vaccine, several
thousand people would likely develop encephalitis, an inflammation of the
brain. ~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001
7. Roger J. Pomerantz, chief of the infectious disease department at
Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, said that doctors have no
idea what the smallpox vaccine might do to people at the extremes of life--less
than 2 and older than 65. He said that an even greater concern would
be its effect on people with weakened immune systems from HIV infection,
chemotherapy or transplants. ~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001
8. "Researchers have been reluctant to recommend a new vaccination
program which would use the smallpox vaccine for the local population because
the vaccine can cause disease and death in persons with inadequate immune
systems." ~ Science, Vol. 277,
July 18, 1997, pp. 312-13.
9. Routine smallpox vaccination in the United States ended in 1972.
Officials are hesitant to resume the immunizations because the vaccine is
the most reactive of all and has been linked to serious side effects,
including death. ~ Reuters, November 29, 2001.
10. Eight printed pages of medical studies documenting the
many serious side effects of smallpox vaccination can be obtained at: www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox.html See
"smallpox vaccine adverse reactions 66-76." [Note: go to the
home page above and put “smallpox vaccine adverse reaction” in the search
engine.] Repercussions include serious brain and heart diseases, autism,
abnormal chromosomal changes, diabetes, various cancers and
leukemias, plus demyelination of nerve tissue years after vaccination.
11. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that vaccination must not be forced
on persons whose physical condition would make such vaccination "cruel and
inhuman." In other words, the state has no right to command
that an individual sacrifice his life in the name of public health. ~Jacobsen
V. Massachusettes, 197 U.S. 11 (1905).
12. By the 1920s, several British medical
researchers documented that smallpox was not only more common among the
VACCINATED, but that the DEATH RATE from smallpox was actually higher
among those who had been vaccinated. This indicates that the vaccine
was ineffective and predisposed vaccinated persons to more lethal
disease. ~Vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner, Australia, 1993, pp. 205-220.
13. Getting a vaccination does not guarantee immunity. ~CDC, January
28, 1994.
14. By 1987, scientific evidence indicated that the World
Health Organization's 13-year global smallpox vaccination campaign may have
awakened dormant HIV infection in many vaccinees. ~Times (in London)
May 11, 1987.
15. Vaccines made from animal substrate contain animal viruses that
are impossible to filter out. By 1961, scientists discovered that animal
viruses in vaccines, including smallpox, could act as a carcinogen when
given to mice in combination with cancer-causing chemicals, even in
amounts too small to induce tumors alone. They concluded that vaccine viruses
function as a catalyst for tumor production. ~Science, December 15, 1961.
16. Some of the new smallpox vaccine doses will be created with animal
substrate. Because the vaccine will incorporate vaccinia, the
cowpox virus, many wonder about possible mad-cow contamination. Fifty-five
million doses of the new vaccine will be created using
a cell line dating back to 1966 and cultured from the lung tissues of an
aborted human fetus. ~World Net Daily, December 4, 2001.
17. The new smallpox vaccine will be genetically engineered. Many
scientists believe that genetically engineered vaccines may be responsible for
the global epidemic of auto-immune disease and neurological
dysfunction. ~American College of Rheumatology, annual meeting, Nov.
8-12, 1998. Merck's genetically
engineered hepatitis B vaccine, Recombivax HB, is a classic example.
According to Dr. Bonnie Dunbar of Baylor College of Medicine,
many thousands of reported adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine
include: chronic fatigue, neurological disorders, rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus and MS-like disease. ~Testimony of Dr. Dunbar to Texas Dept. of
Health, March 12, 1999. Over 15,000
French citizens sued the French government to stop mandatory hep B injections
for school children because of resulting auto-immune diseases. ~Science, July
31, 1998. Dr. John Classen has published voluminous data
showing that the hepatitis B and other vaccines are closely linked to the
development of insulin dependent diabetes. ~Infectious Diseases in Clinical
Practice, October 22, 1997
18. The British vaccine manufacturer Medeva has a horrendous record of
contamination and blunders. In 2000, the FDA found that Medeva was
making vaccines in conditions of filth, resulting in contaminated
products. Medeva had been illegally using bovine medium to culture its
polio vaccines, then lied about it. Medeva also used the blood of a
Creutzfeldt-Jakob victim (mad cow) to manufacture 83,000 doses of polio vaccine
used for (against?) Irish children. Nevertheless, the FDA
allowed the USA to accept Medeva's flu vaccine (Fluvirin) for the year
2000. ~London Observer series: October 20-26, 2000
19. In 2001, the British socialized health care system
was reported to be in a state of collapse, with many hospitals and
labs operating in abysmal filth. Five thousand people die each year
from infections contracted in British hospitals; 10,000 become deathly ill
from such infections. Sterilization procedures are barely adequate and
said to be risking the spread of mad cow disease. Government ministers are
reportedly trying to hush up the scandal. ~www.itn.co.uk/
Jan 06, 2001; The Sunday Times of London, November 12, 2001.
20. The U.S. government apparently intends to conduct NO double
blind studies on the safety and efficacy of the new smallpox
vaccine. It has ordered 286 million doses, one for every man, woman
and child in America at a cost of $428 million. At least half of this vaccine
will be delivered by Acambis PLC of great Britain.
Tip of the Week: Keep all vaccine needles away from your body!
