Hello patients and friends,

Last week, the TV show “ER” had a segment about a non-vaccinated child dying from measles. As many of you may know, my wife and I choose not to vaccinate our children due to the many inherent health risks of vaccinations. Therefore I find it important to pass along some information that was not told in this ER program. This show has outraged many parent groups, natural
medicine practitioners and chiropractors. I would like to pass on some of the information about this show to you, so you can see how the television industry and the pharmaceutical industry work together.


The following email was sent to me, as well as to other chiropractors, by Dr. Keith Wassung, a prominent chiropractic researcher. It will open your eyes to the deception of the media.

”I am sure that many of you or your patients witnessed last weeks episode of ”ER” in which a child, who’s parents had made the decision to to vaccinate, died from measles in a very sensational way. Commericals sponsoring the drama featured the vaccine “Prevnar” which is the first time that I am aware that an actual vaccine was promoted on network television during prime time.  Commercials were also shown that promoted the local NBC news at 11’s feature story of parents who have chosen not have their children vaccinated. I immediately called the local NBC affiliate and he finally admitted that the entire project was bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical company and that the news story at 11pm was a canned segment that had been sent to them for broadcast ( this is very typical way that “news stories” about new drug
developments are done at the local level. The affiliate receives a very professionally done piece that they are able to “splice” their reporters into.”

And here’s another comment made by Dr. Terry Rondberg, a world-renowned chiropractor, and president of the World Chiropractic Alliance.

”Did anyone besides me see the 2/15 episode of ER on NBC? It was a full-court press PR stunt for vaccination. A non-vaccinated kid was taken into the hospital with measles. You know the drill: quarantine, judgmental indignation about the kid’s lack of vaccination, all the nonsense about the utter safety and efficacy of vaccinations—and naturally the kid ends up dying from an “utterly
preventable” disease and his parents’ evil vaccine decision.

I am going to write a letter protesting their treatment of the issue. It is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of kids that have been killed or maimed by government-mandated medical procedures. And it flies in the face of the near-billion dollars paid out by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program since 1986.

It is a parental decision that should be honored—whichever way the parents decide. Making them out to be societal deadbeats that aren’t doing their duty” is the height of medical bigotry!

I would encourage you to go to the NBC website and register your opinion on this show.”

This following information was sent by another chiropractor, Dr. David Fergusen. It will astound you when you read all the research readily available from the medical profession showing the dangers of the MMR vaccine. And this is on just one vaccine!

”The following information has been forwarded to NBC along with a negative comment about last nights episode of ER.”

Reports of Sensorineural deafness after measles, mumps, and rubella immunization
Arch of Disease in Childhood 1993:69 [2pgs.]
There have been 9 reports of sensorineural hearing loss after MMR immunization. In three cases the deafness was unrelated .In six cases the cause was unknown but MMR remained a
possible aetiology.

Case 1: This girl developed a rubella form rash 25 days after immunization.3 days later she developed vomiting and malaise .On revue, a week later, she exhibited poor balance .nine weeks
later she was found to respond poorly to sound .She had stopped speaking for the proceeding two weeks.

Case 2: This boys father suffered flu like illness at the same time that the boy was unwell after immunization ,His mother noticed his poor hearing but attributed it to inattention and did not
seek medical advice .He also has amblyopia and learning difficulties.

Case number 9: (PERSONAL THOUGHT I find this one of interest since the child was vaccinated and still caught the illness i.e. vaccines do not work.)This boy became deaf four months after immunization. Mumps antibody titers measured at this time and one month later showed a significant rise.

Two of the cases not related .One child was deaf before vaccination and the other never received vaccinations the rest listed could be possibly related to MMR vaccine.

Neurological disorders Following Live Measles-Virus Vaccination
(JAMA March 1973, Vol 223 No 13) [4pgs]
Abstract: From 1963 through 1971, eighty four cases of neurologic disorders with onset less than 30 days after live measles-virus vaccination were reported in the United states. Thirteen could be adequately accounted for by cases other than vaccine, and another 11 were uncomplicated febrile convulsions probably related to vaccination. One case met diagnostic criteria for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. The remaining 59 showed clinical features of encephalitis or encephalopathy.


Causes of these cases could not be established, but 45 (76%) had onset between 6 and 15 days after vaccination; this clustering suggests that some may have been caused by vaccine. From 1963 through 1971, 50.9 million doses of measles vaccine were distributed, and, therefore,
incidence of the reported neurologic disorders was 1.16 per million doses. Risk of encephalitis following measles infection is one per thousand cases. (my note - the vast majority of vaccine complications go unreported making the figure inaccurate and the figure for encephalitis
complications following measles infection is grossly overstated.)

Guillain -Barre Syndrome Following Administration of Live Measles Vaccine
Amer J of Med 1976 Vol 60 [3pgs]

Summary:
In a 19 month old girl and a 16 month old girl the gullian barre syndrome developed within a week after they received, respectively, live measles-rubella vaccine and live measles vaccine. The older child was immune to rubella at the time of vaccination, but both girls demonstrated a primary measles antibody response. Serum obtained during the acute and convalescent stages from the younger child was tested for antibodies against the herpes virus, epstein barre virus, cytomeglovirus and varicella -zoster and found to be negative. the author goes on to
state vaccine and wild strains can in the pathological process lead to demyelinzation. These two cases again emphasize the need to carefully document the neurological diseases which follow infections with live virus vaccines.

Personally, I enjoy when networks do stunts like this, because TRUE information always comes to the surface in the face of adversity. You’re going to see a lot more information in the coming weeks about vaccine toxicity, safety concerns, and vaccine injuries thanks to the ER program.
It’s about time that the truth is told.
