Serious
Concerns by
Medical
Experts and Peer-Reviewed Medical Journals Question Vaccine Safety
and
Effectiveness
"Official data shows that
large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant improvement of the
diseases against which they were supposed to provide protection."
Dr Sabin, developer of the oral Polio
vaccine.
"In 1993 a high court judge
in the UK decided that it was impossible to know the exact contents of vaccines
and that science had no idea what the cocktail of chemicals, contaminants and
heavy metals contained in vaccines could do to the human body, or why they
would work to prevent disease." British Medical Journal, 1993.
My suspicion, which is shared by others in my profession, is that the
nearly 10,000 SIDS deaths that occur in the United States each year are related
to one or more of the vaccines that are routinely given children. The pertussis
vaccine is the most likely villain, but it could also be one or more of the
others." Dr Robert Mendelsohn,
M.D.
"The evidence for indicting immunisations for SIDS is
circumstantial, but compelling. However, the keepers of the keys to
medical-research funds are not interested in researching this very important
lead to the cause of an ongoing, and possibly preventable, tragedy. Anything
that implies that immunisations are
not the greatest medical advance
in the history of public health is ignored or ridiculed. Can you imagine the
economic and political import of discovering that immunisations are killing
thousands of babies?" Dr Douglass
M.D.
"Only after realising that routine immunisations were dangerous did
I achieve a substantial drop in infant death rates. The worst vaccine of all is
the whooping cough vaccine... it is responsible for a lot of deaths and for a
lot of infants suffering irreversible brain damage. In susceptible infants, it
knocks their immune systems about, leading to irreparable brain damage, or
severe attacks or even deaths from diseases like pneumonia or gastro-enteritis
and so on". Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.
"Delay of DPT immunisation until 2 years of age in Japan has
resulted in a dramatic decline in adverse side effects. In the period of
1970-1974, when DPT vaccination was begun at 3 to 5 months of age, the Japanese
national compensation system paid out claims for 57 permanent severe damage
vaccine cases, and 37 deaths. During the ensuing six year period 1975-1980,
when DPT injections were delayed to 24 months of age, severe reactions from the
vaccine were reduced to a total of eight with three deaths. This represents an
85 to 90 percent reduction in severe cases of damage and death." Raymond Obomsawin, M.D.
"Autism may be a disorder linked to the disruption of the G-alpha
protein, affecting retinoid receptors in the brain. A study of sixty autistic
children suggests that autism may be caused by inserting a G-alpha protein
defect, the pertussis toxin found in the D.P.T. vaccine, into genetically
at-risk children." Mary N. Megson,
M.D.
"This report describes six mothers who received live virus vaccines
and one who received a Hepatitis B vaccine during pregnancy after having
received an MMR booster five months prior to conception. All the children who
resulted from these pregnancies have had developmental problems, six out seven
(85%) were diagnosed with autism, and the seventh seems to exhibit symptoms
often associated with autistic spectrum disorders." F Yazbak MD
"Every day new parents are ringing us. They all have the same
tragic story. Healthy baby, child, teenager, usually a boy, given the DPT
(diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus) or DT (diphtheria and tetanus), MMR or MMR
booster followed by a sudden fall or slow, but steady decline into autism or
other spectrums disorder." The Hope
Project (Ireland)
"There is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to
prevent any diseases. To the contrary, there is a great wealth of evidence that
they cause serious side effects. Dr.
Viera Scheibner
"My data proves that the studies used to support immunisation are
so flawed that it is impossible to say if immunisation provides a net benefit
to anyone or to society in general. This question can only be determined by
proper studies which have never been performed. The flaw of previous studies is
that there was no long term follow up and chronic toxicity was not looked at.
The American Society of Microbiology has promoted my research...and thus
acknowledges the need for proper studies." John B. Classen, M.D., M.B.A.
"The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a
disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are
changing our genetic code through vaccination." Guylaine Lanctot M.D. Canadian author of the best-seller 'Medical
Mafia'.
Jonas Salk, inventor of the IPV, testified before a Senate subcommittee
that nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961 were caused by the oral polio
vaccine.
"Crib death" was so infrequent in the pre-vaccination era that
it was not even mentioned in the statistics, but it started to climb in the
1950s with the spread of mass vaccination against diseases of childhood. Harris L. Coulter, PhD.
"These data show that DPT vaccination may be a generally
unrecognised major cause of sudden infant and early childhood death, and that
the risks of immunisation may outweigh its potential benefits. A need for
re-evaluation and possible modification of current vaccination procedures is
indicated by this study." William
C. Torch, M.D., Director of Child Neurology, Department of Paediatrics,
University of Nevada School of Medicine
You cannot be in the presence of a profoundly vaccine damaged child and
not know that child could be your own. And you cannot try to comfort a mother
who has just buried a baby who has died from a vaccine or a disease and not
know that you could be the one standing over the grave. When it happens to your
child, the risks are 100 percent.
Vaccination is not necessary, not useful, does not protect. There are
twice as many casualties from vaccination as from AIDS. Dr. med. Gerhard Buchwald, West Germany, specialist of internal
diseases and participant in about 150 trials of vaccination victims.
Dr. Michael Odent has written a letter in the JAMA (1994) where his
figures show a five times higher rate of asthma in pertussis immunised children
compared to non-immunised children. He is also quoted in the International
Vaccination Newsletter (Sept. 1994): "Immunised children have more
ear infections and spend more days in hospital."
"The public is surely entitled to convincing proof, beyond all
reasonable doubt, that artificial immunisation is in fact a safe and effective
procedure, in no way injurious to health, and that the threat of the
corresponding natural diseases remain sufficiently clear and urgent to warrant
mass inoculation of everyone, even against their will if necessary.
Unfortunately, such proof has never been given." Richard Moskowitz, M.D., Journal of the American Institute of
Homeopathy, March 1983 (76:7)
"Vaccination is expensive and represents a cost of one billion
dollars annually. It therefore benefits the industry; most notably, the
multinational manufacturers. One sells the vaccines. The other then provides
the arsenal of medications to respond to the numerous complications that follow.
Their profits increase while our expenses go through the roof. To the point
where we have simply had it up to here and are ready to accept the
unacceptable, such as socialised medicine in the United States, for
example." Dr Lanctot MD
In the May 24,
1996, New Zealand Medical Journal, J. Barthelow Classen, MD, a former
researcher at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the founder and
CEO of Classen Immunotherapies in Baltimore, reported that juvenile diabetes
increased 60 per cent following a massive hepatitis B vaccination campaign for
babies six weeks or older in New Zealand from 1988 to 1991. In the October 22,
1997, Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, Classen showed that Finland's
incidence of diabetes increased 147 per cent in children under five after three
new vaccines were introduced in the 1970s, and that diabetes increased 40 per
cent in children aged 5 to 9 after the addition of the MMR and Hib vaccines in
the 1980s. He concluded that "the rise in IDDM [juvenile onset diabetes]
in the different age groups correlated with the number of vaccines given."
Yet some parents and doctors, concerned about the future, are looking
beyond the present. "What we forget is that millions of years of evolution
have taken place on this planet, and up until the last 100 years, humans have
lived in relative harmony with microbes. Yes, there have been epidemic
infectious diseases in history, but they have always resolved themselves. I
don't think there is any real appreciation for what we may be doing by using so
many vaccines to try to eradicate so many organisms. If we stay the present
course, will mankind be free from infectious disease but crippled by chronic
disease? Will eradication of feared diseases, such as AIDS, through mass vaccination
be one of man's greatest triumphs or will we live in fear of deadly mutations
of microbes that have outsmarted man's attempt to eradicate them? We may look
back at the crossroads we are at today and wish we had decided to make peace
with nature instead of trying to dominate it." Richard Moscowitz, MD
"This..forced me to look into the question of vaccination further,
and the further I looked the more shocked I became. I found that the whole
vaccine business was indeed a gigantic hoax. Most doctors are convinced that
they are useful, but if you look at the proper statistics and study the
instances of these diseases you will realise that this is not so . . . My final
conclusion after forty years or more in this business [medicine] is that the
unofficial policy of the World Health Organisation and the unofficial policy of
the 'Save the Children's Fund' and ... [other vaccine promoting] organisations
is one of murder and genocide. . . . I cannot see any other possible
explanation. . . . You cannot immunise sick children, malnourished children,
and expect to get away with it. You'll kill far more children than would have
died from natural infection." Dr
Kalokerinos MD
Two or three years ago there was a rash of positive HIV and hepatitis
patients in Baltimore among people who would otherwise not be expected to have
a positive test. When studied all of these people had received the influenza
vaccine four to six weeks prior and this was rapidly covered up by the press. Dr Eva Snead, Feb 2000
Nine die in flu tragedy as epidemic hits nursing home (Daily Express 1/1/1999) Nine pensioners
died within days of each other after a suspected flu epidemic swept the nursing
home where they lived. An investigation has been launched after it emerged all
the victims suffered severe chest infections despite having the flu
vaccinations.
If vaccines are so effective in preventing disease why have epidemics
occurred around the world following mass vaccination programs? In the
Philippines for example, "after ten years of compulsory inoculation
against smallpox (25 million shots) over 170,000 got smallpox and 75,000 deaths
were recorded between 1911 and 1920" (from the Townsend Letter for Doctors article
"Are Vaccines Generally Detrimental
to the Human Defence System," Feb/Mar 1994).
"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has been reported following
administration of DPT. The significance is unclear. 85% of SIDS cases occur in
the period 1 through 6 months of age, with the peak incidence at age 2 to 4
months." From the accompanying
insert to Connaught Labs DPT shot.
"There has been a frightening increase in cases of autism that has
not been explained. There are a number of anecdotal reports from parents that
symptoms of autism have appeared close to the time of the (MMR) vaccine."
Jane Orient, M.D., executive director
of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and clinical lecturer in
medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and a professor of
clinical medicine at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.
Even the WHO (World Health Organisation) has admitted, disease and
mortality rates in Third World countries have no direct correlation with
immunisation procedures or medical treatment, but they are closely related to
the standard of hygiene and diet. A 1973 issue of Scientific American revealed
the same finding: that "over 90% of all contagious disease was eliminated
by vastly improved water systems, sanitation, living conditions and
transportation of food." Mass vaccinations did not appear on the scene
until a century after the decline in infectious diseases started (1850-1940),
but inoculations were, and still are given full credit. Susan DeSimone
"Up to 90% of the total decline in the death rate of children
between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and
measles occurred before the introduction of immunisations and
antibiotics." Dr Archie Kalokerinos, M.D.
The
mechanics of vaccination to build immunity, on the other hand, is quite
unnatural. Rather than space exposure to a relatively minuscule level of
micro-organisms in a gradual manner, massive quantities of antigens are
introduced into the body through a series of vaccinations that are given right
in a row over a short period of time. All vaccines, with the exception of the
OPV (oral polio vaccination) are injected directly into the bloodstream,
by-passing the mucosal immune system known as the secretory IgA. The secretory
IgA is the first in a series of defensive levels within the immune system. It
serves as a buffer, filtering microbes so that the impact of these invading
organisms is greatly reduced once it reaches the bloodstream. The IgA allows
the antigen to be removed in the same manner in which it arrived - through the
mucosal barrier by sneezing, coughing and sweating. So a vaccine that has
been injected "gives the body no warning, no generalised inflammatory
response, no chance to recognise, duplicate or defend itself against future
challenges from typical antigens," writes Dr. Mendelsohn in How to Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of
Your Doctor.
A recent topical example: the diphtheria case, and the "fear"
created by this one, extremely mild, case in an unvaccinated child. Dr Ossi
Mansoor, a principal doctor regarding vaccination policy, stated on Radio
Pacific, "The figures we have are that in the 1920s there were 800 deaths
every year" (from diphtheria). Yet the New Zealand Government's statistics
show the average yearly number was below 100, also that the average death rate
per 10,000 mean of population fell from 6.08 to 0.20 before the use of the
diphtheria vaccine. Southland Times 30/Sep/1998
"I've been practicing for 40 years, and in the past 10 years the
children have been sicker than ever." Dr Doris J.Rapp, paediatric allergist.
"I once believed in Jenner; I once believed in Pasteur. I believed
in vaccination. I believed in vivisection. But I changed my views as the result
of hard thinking." Dr Hadwen
"Measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and the whole panoply of
childhood diseases are a far less serious threat than having a large fraction
(say 10%) of a generation afflicted with learning disability and/or
uncontrollable aggressive behaviour because of an impassioned crusade for
universal vaccination...Public policy regarding vaccines is fundamentally
flawed. It is permeated by conflicts of interest. It is based on poor
scientific methodology (including studies that are too small, too short, and
too limited in populations represented), which is, moreover, insulated from
independent criticism. The evidence is far too poor to warrant overriding the
independent judgements of patients, parents, and attending physicians, even if
this were ethically or legally acceptable." Association of American Physicians & Surgeons
"If you want the truth on vaccination you must go to those who are
not making anything out of it. If doctors shot at the moon every time it was
full as a preventive of measles and got a shilling for it, they would bring
statistics to prove it was a most efficient practice, and that the population
would be decimated if it were stopped." Dr Allinson
"To pass our examinations and get qualified, we must accept what
our teachers tell us. In other words, we must cultivate what Josh Billings
called "A well-balanced mind one that will balance in any direction
required." Major R. Austin
M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P
"The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous
and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunisation
There
is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited
with eliminating any childhood disease." Dr Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.
"I think that no person would permit anybody to get close to them
with an inoculation if they would really know how they are made, what they
carry, what has been lied to them about and what the real percent of danger is
of contracting such a disease which is minimal." Dr Eva Snead
"There are significant risks associated with every immunisation and
numerous contraindications that may make it dangerous for the shots to be given
to your child
There is growing suspicion that immunisation against relatively
harmless childhood diseases may be responsible for the dramatic increase in
autoimmune diseases since mass inoculations were introduced. These are fearful
diseases such as cancer, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis,
Lou Gehrig's disease, lupus erythematosus
and the Guillain-Barre syndrome."
Dr Mendelsohn, M.D.
"Probably 20% of American children one youngster in five
suffers from "development disability". This is a stupefying figure.
We have inflicted it on ourselves; "development disabilities" are
nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis
in the USA and other industrialised countries is the childhood vaccination
program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of US children and
adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity,
dyslexia, and other shoots or branches of the hydraheaded entity called
"development disabilities", owe their disorders to one or another of
the vaccines against childhood diseases." Harris Coulter, author, A Shot in the Dark
"It is pathetic and ludicrous to say we ever vanquished smallpox with
vaccines, when only 10% of the population was ever vaccinated." Dr Glen Dettman.
"There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed
is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers
of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them,
anyway." Dr. J. Anthony Morris
formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at
the US Federal Drug Admin.)
"There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunisation of
children does more harm than good." Dr.
J. Anthony Morris (formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the US Federal
Drug Admin.)
"There is insufficient evidence to support routine vaccination of
healthy persons of any age." Paul
Frame, M.D., Journal of Family Practice
"Official
data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant
improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide
protection" Dr Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine.
"All vaccination has the effect of directing the three values of
the blood into or toward the zone characteristics of cancer and
leukaemia...Vaccines do predispose to cancer and leukaemia." Professor L. Vincent - founder of
Bioelectronics
"Many here voice a silent view that the Salk and Sabin Polio
Vaccines, being made from monkey kidney tissue, has been directly responsible
for the major increase in leukaemia in this country." Dr F. Klenner, M.D.
"Provocation polio. That is the truth about those outbreaks of
polio. And I offer a well considered personal opinion that polio is a man made
disease." Viera Scheibner Ph.D.
"Even to this day, the government, the FDA is refusing to use the
sophisticated biotechnology to evaluate the contaminants in the vaccines such
as the polio vaccines that they are administering. I think (people) would be
appalled that some of the vaccines that are being currently being used are
still laced with viruses," Leonard
Horowitz., D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.
"As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a
doctor on the worth of vaccination." Bernard
Shaw
"The vaccinations are not working, and they are dangerous.. We
should be working with nature." Lendon
H. Smith, M.D.
"The decline in infectious diseases in developed countries had
nothing to do with vaccinations, but with the decline in poverty and hunger. Dr Buchwald, M.D.
"I was working in one of the oldest lung illness treatment centres
in Germany, and just by chance, I looked at the files of those people who had
fallen ill during the first German epidemic of smallpox, in 1947...We had
always been told that the smallpox vaccination would protect against smallpox.
And now I could verify, thanks to the files and papers, that all of those who
had fallen ill had been vaccinated. This was very upsetting for me." Dr Buchwald, M.D.
"It was similar with the measles vaccination. They went through
Africa, South America and elsewhere, and vaccinated sick and starving
children...They thought they were wiping out measles, but most of those susceptible
to measles died from some other disease that they developed as a result of
being vaccinated. The vaccination reduced their immune levels and acted like an
infection. Many got septicaemia, gastro-enteritis, etcetera, or made their
nutritional status worse and they died from malnutrition. So there were very
few susceptible infants left alive to get measles. It's one way to get good
statistics, kill all those that are susceptible, which is what they literally
did." Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.
"Only after realising that routine immunisations were dangerous did
I achieve a substantial drop in infant death rates." Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.
"I well remember, some years ago, listening to a knighted medical
researcher as he spoke, on the radio, about vaccines. He told two classical
stories form the history books. The first concerned Edward Jenner who,
according to history, watched as the milkmaid caught cowpox and this protected
her from smallpox. So Jenner got some of the 'cowpox' and inoculated it into
someone's arm - it fostered and the pus was then inoculated into someone else -
100% success was claimed. 100%!! How absurd - complete with all sorts of germs
including hepatitis, syphilis and whatever. If one did that today, without
antibiotics, the death rate would be huge." Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.
The prerequisite for today's medical policy is naturally the currently
predominant system of medicine. The sick are the source of income, therefore it
is necessary for sick people to be there, yes, it proves advantageous if one
makes the people artificially sick. Dr.
Med. Steintl: 'International Medical Policy', 1938, Berlin
In the April 15, 1998, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association
(JAMA), an analysis of drug side effects found that toxic reactions to
correctly prescribed medications make more than two million Americans seriously
ill every year and kill 106,000, putting drug side effects among the top 10
causes of death in the United States. Among children, antibiotics and vaccines
cause more adverse reactions than any other.
In one study, serious reactions to the DPT vaccine (including grand mal
epilepsy and encephalopathy) were shown to be as high as 1 in 600. In another
study, approximately one out of every 200 children who received the full DPT
series suffered severe reactions. Immunisation:
Survey of Recent Research, (United States Department of Health and
Human Services, April 1983), p. 76.
Dr. Bernard Greenberg, a biostatistics expert, was chairman of the
Committee on Evaluation and Standards of the American Public Health Association
during the 1950s. He testified at a panel discussion that was used as evidence
for the congressional hearings on polio vaccine in 1962. During these hearings
he elaborated on the problems associated with polio statistics and disputed
claims for the vaccine's effectiveness. He attributed the dramatic decline in
polio cases to a change in reporting practices by physicians. Fewer cases were
identified as polio after the vaccination for very specific reasons.
"Prior to 1954 any physician who reported paralytic poliomyelitis was
doing his patient a service by way of subsidising the cost of hospitalisation
and was being community-minded in reporting a communicable disease. The
criterion of diagnosis at that time in most health departments followed the
World Health Organisation definition: "Spinal paralytic poliomyelitis:
signs and symptoms of non-paralytic poliomyelitis with the addition of partial
or complete paralysis of one or more muscle groups, detected on two
examinations at least 24 hours apart." Note that "two examinations at
least 24 hours apart" was all that was required. Laboratory confirmation
and presence of residual paralysis was not required. In 1955 the criteria were
changed to conform more closely to the definition used in the 1954 field
trials: residual paralysis was determined 10 to 20 days after onset of illness
and again 50 to 70 days after onset.... This change in definition meant that in
1955 we started reporting a new disease, namely, paralytic poliomyelitis with a
longer-lasting paralysis. Furthermore, diagnostic procedures have continued to
be refined. Coxsackie virus infections and aseptic meningitis have been
distinguished from paralytic poliomyelitis. Prior to 1954 large numbers of
these cases undoubtedly were mislabelled as paralytic poliomyelitis.
A study revealed that 1 in 175 children who completed the full DPT
suffered severe reactions ("Nature and Rates of Adverse Reactions
Associated with DPT and DT Immunisations in Infants and Children" [Paediatrics,
Nov. 1981, Vol.68, No.5]) and a Dr.'s report for attorneys which found
that 1 in 300 DPT immunisations resulted in seizures The Fresno Bee, Community Relations, DPT Report, Dec 5, 1984
"Poliomyelitis trends in Pondicherry, south India, 1989-91"
(Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health [London], vol. 51, no. 4, August
1997, pages 443-48): About 54 percent of children lamed as a result of
poliomyelitis had received three doses of oral polio vaccine before the onset
of paralysis.
"Poliomyelitis associated with type-2 poliovirus vaccine strain.
Possible transmission from an immunised child to a non-immunised child"
(The Lancet, vol. 1, March 30, 1968, pp. 661-3): a sixteen-month-old boy
hospitalised for high fever and paralysis had never received any poliovirus
vaccine. From playing and sharing a bed with a cousin, he apparently had
contracted paralytic poliomyelitis from the cousin, who had received type-2
oral poliovirus vaccine thirty-three days before. Virological and serological
investigation revealed a vaccine-like strain of type-2 poliovirus. The
patient's history revealed no particular susceptibility to infections.
"If we look closely, we realise that health for all, according to
the WHO, means medicalization and vaccinations for all. That is to say sickness
for all." Guylaine Lanctot, M.D
.
Some doctors refuse to vaccinate their own children as well. According
to Dr. Jerome Murphy, former head of Pediatric Neurology at Milwaukee
Children's Hospital, "There is just overwhelming data that
there's an association [between the pertussis vaccine and seizures]. I know it
has influenced many paediatric neurologists not to have their own children
immunised with pertussis."
Vaccine Injury Compensation,
Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, 99th Congress,
2nd Session (July 25, 1986) p 214: "The vaccination lobby shamelessly
takes all the children of this world as hostages to still their greed for money
and power. They relentlessly abuse our compassion for the weaker and our
concern about health to promote their giga-business. No matter what. No matter
how many more vaccine victims will suffer death or side-effects. No matter how
many financial resources this strategy devours at the expense of essential
social investments like housing and employment. No matter what. Shocking! There
is no excuse for this crime. Just as shocking is the observation that (health)
policy is no longer under local, democratic control. Everything is set up and
organised with scrutiny at the highest, international level by those who take
profit from it: the pharmaceutical industry, the financial world,
politicians." Kris Gaublomme MD
Five deaths have been reported in Australia from vaccines in the 19
month period 6/6/97 to 31/1/99. These statistics make a mockery of the words of
Australia's Health Minister, Dr. Michael Wooldridge, who said: 'It's more
likely your child will die because of a meteorite falling from space than die
from immunisation'.
'When you do get to the little wrappers that come with the little
bottles of vaccine and read the small print, the alarm bells start ringing..,
vaccination does not guarantee immunisation... you do run some risk with
vaccination... I put it that natural immunity is much more likely to be
protective of the child than the much failed record of artificial immunity
coming from vaccination'. Senator Brown
of Tasmania (ex medical practitioner).
'It is impossible to identify all rare adverse events or to identify the
safest vaccine combinations prior to licensure' Robert Chen, chief of vaccine safety and development activity at the
USA National immunisation Program of the Center for Disease Control.
The USA Association of American Physicians and Surgeons said that children
younger than 14 are three times more likely to be killed or seriously injured
by Hepatitis 'B' vaccine than to catch the disease. They have called for an
immediate moratorium on mandatory Hepatitis 'B' vaccine for school children
pending further research about dangerous side effects.
The USA Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics are
now asking vaccine manufacturers to eliminate the preservative of Thiomersal
(mercury derivative) from all vaccines. Thiomersal is presently being used in
Hepatitis 'B, Diphtheria Tetanus, Pertussis (DTPw), Influenza and Bacterial
Meningitis (Hib) vaccines. It has been found that the cumulative effects of
ingesting mercury can cause brain damage.
The Centers for Disease Control in the USA recently recommended the
phasing out of the oral polio vaccine in favour of the inactivated polio
vaccine by injection. The risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis
now seems greater than the risk posed by the disease.
The Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis BSE (Mad Cow Disease) inquiry in the
UK has shown that the 40 victims of BSE and the new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease may not have had anything to do with eating beef, but from injecting
vaccines made from the brains of BSE-infected cattle.
Modern vaccinations, fear of germs and obsession with hygiene are
depriving the immune system of the information input upon which it is
dependent. This fails to maintain the correct cytokine balance and fine-tune
T-cell regulation, and may lead to increased incidences of allergies and
autoimmune diseases. If humans continue to deprive their immune systems of the
input to which evolution has adapted it, it may be necessary to devise ways of
replacing it artificially. Rook, G A,
Stanford, J L Dept of Bacteriology, UCL Medical School, London, UK.
"Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we
may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on
nutrition for example...When you have an expenditure on getting your community
healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger." Michael Moore,.Health Minister, Hansard
1997.
"Among school age children, (measles) outbreaks have occurred in
schools with vaccination levels of greater than 98%. These outbreaks have
occurred in all parts of the country, including areas that had not reported
measles for years." - Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report,

"Dutch scientists are struggling to identify the exact cause of an
epidemic of whooping cough that has swept throughout the country despite
vaccination rates as high as 96%. Similar problems are also being reported from Norway and Denmark."

Christi, Texas, even though vaccination requirements for school attendance had
been thoroughly enforced." New England Journal of Medicine Vol.
316: pp 771-774.

population." Journal of the American Medical Association, 1998.
"From January 1988 to March 1989, a widespread outbreak (118 cases)
of polio type 1 occurred in Oman. Incidence of paralytic disease was highest in
children younger than 2 years despite an immunisation program that had recently
raised coverage with 3 doses of oral poliovirus vaccine among 12 month old
children from 67% to 87%."
"The incidence of asthma has been found to be five times more
common in vaccinated children." The Lancet, 1994.

395-405. 1985.
"There has been a tendency (by doctors) to play down the likelihood
of common adverse reactions ... Immunisations are thus commonly given without
the informed consent of parents. When problems arise after vaccination these
doctors tend to play down the severity of the complaints and will often deny a
connection with the vaccination." - MJA (Medical Journal of Australia)

"In the USA the vaccination lobby has made the US Government
shoulder the vaccine manufacturers liabilities. The Government established a
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in 1986 and has paid out in excess
of $US 1 billion to families for vaccine injuries, mainly from the whooping
cough vaccine. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting Scheme of the FDA admits
11000 reports annually and agree that only 10 to 15% of adverse reactions are
reported."
"In 1993 a high court judge in the UK decided that it was
impossible to know the exact contents of vaccines and that science had no idea
what the cocktail of chemicals, contaminants and heavy metals contained in
vaccines could do to the human body, or why they would work to prevent
disease." British Medical Journal, 1993.
"Studies have shown that while the oral polio vaccine contains
three strains of polio virus, a fourth strain can be cultured from the faeces
of vaccine recipients. This indicates that viruses have recombined and formed a
new strain in the process of vaccination." Virology, 1993.
"It is officially admitted that all cases of polio in the US, since
the introduction of the vaccine, are caused by the vaccine. The same has been
seen in Australia and other countries like England. So the occurrence of the
same phenomenon all around the world would be asking too much of
coincidence." Dr Viera Scheibner,

Atypical measles has been known about for almost as long as the measles
vaccine has been around and it is ONLY found in the vaccinated. It is typified
by a milder than usual rash which is probably where the ugly rumour has
originated that vaccinated people get milder cases of measles than the
unvaccinated. Though the rash may be less, the symptoms can be much worse and
the chances of lung involvement are higher than with wild measles (20% +) and
liver involvement 3% +) The earliest medical journal study I have about this is
"Altered Reactivity to Measles Virus" Atypical Measles in Children
Previously Immunised with Inactivated Measles Virus Vaccines. Fulginiti, V.A.
et al; JAMA 18/12/67, Vol. 202, No. 12. Viera Scheibner has said that
the chances of dying from wild measles are 0.03% while the chances of dying
from atypical measles are between 12-15%. It was thought at one time that it
was only the early inactivated vaccine that could cause atypical measles, but
it is now known that any measles vaccine can. It seems that the vaccine
perverts the immune process which may explain the reason why those who are
vaccinated can get measles over and over without developing any natural
immunity and may not be able to pass immunity onto their unborn child through
the placenta. - in Post Vaccine Diseases of the Central Nervous System :
Preliminary Results from the Mediterranean Journal of Surgery and Medicine Number

"No batch of vaccine can be proved safe before it is given to
children." Surgeon General of the United States Leonard Scheele, addressing an AMA
convention in 1955

"In this article we begin to address the subject of vaccinosis, the general name for chronic disease
caused by vaccines. For some readers the very idea that vaccines are anything
but wonderful and life-saving may come as a surprise, and it's not a very
pleasant one. After all, the general population pictures vaccines as one of
modern medicine's best and brightest moments, saving literally millions from
the scourge of diseases like poliomyelitis and smallpox." Dr. Richard Pitcairn D.V.M., Ph.D
"Pumping more vaccines into the body without understanding such
basics as how they'll affect immune system function over time borders on the
criminal." Nicholas Regush ABC

In the United States during the period 1980-1985, 55 cases of paralytic
polio were reported. Of these cases, 51 were caused by the oral vaccine and 4
occurred in people returning from developing countries. (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
(MMWR), published by the United States Center for Disease Control.
International notes: Imported paralytic poliomyelitis - United States, 1986;
35, 671-674.)
Of the reported 18 cases of paralytic polio in 1977, three of the
patients were persons who were in the United States but who were not residents,
and 2 of the other 15 victims apparently contracted the disease abroad. Three
cases occurred in recent vaccine recipients, and 10 cases had been in close
contact with recently vaccinated people. Only 3 cases occurred in persons
"without known vaccine association". (Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), January 23,
1978.)
A study undertaken at the University of California, Los Angeles, under
the sponsorship of the Food and Drug Administration, and which has been
confirmed by other studies, links DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus)
vaccination, and more specifically the pertussis component, to sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS). This study found that 53 of 145 SIDS victims whose
families were interviewed had received a DPT vaccination within 4 weeks. The
authors conclude that "the excess of deaths in the 24 hours and first week
following immunization and the absence of deaths in the fourth week following
immunizations were significant." They call for more studies to
substantiate their findings, despite the fact that this is already the third
investigation, and all 3 have pointed in the same direction. (Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal,
1983. Possible temporal association between diphtheria - tetanus toxoid -
pertussis vaccination and sudden infant death syndrome. Baraff, L.J., Ablon,
W.J., Weiss, R.C.)
A report on 479 whooping cough patients in the US states that 60 percent
of patients had received less than 3 doses of DPT vaccine, while the other 40
percent of victims had been fully vaccinated (three doses or more). (Weekly Report, Centers for Disease
Control, July 2, 1982.)
Because of the obvious dangers of the whooping cough component of the
DPT vaccine, physicians are assuring parents of the "safety" of the
other two components of the triple antigen - diphtheria and tetanus (DT),
although some doctors have a different view. "It is unnecessary to give a
routine booster of diphtheria and tetanus vaccine every 10 years... The
benefits of the procedure do not justify the risks." (Lancet, May 11, 1985. Mathias, R.G.
and Schechter, M.T.)
A report on a study of 11 healthy individuals to determine the effects
of routine tetanus booster vaccinations, showed that the vaccinations weaken
the immune system of the recipients. (New
England Journal of Medicine, January 19, 1984.)
As reported by a Chicago Board of Health, during an outbreak of
diphtheria in Chicago in 1969, four of the 16 victims had been fully vaccinated
against the disease, and 5 others had received one or more doses of the vaccine
of which 2 of these showed evidence of "full immunity". (The People's Doctor, April 1978,
Mendelsohn, R.)
A vast number of children who were injected with a killed measles
vaccine between 1963 and 1968 in the United States are now subject, as young
adults to what is called "atypical measles". This is a very severe
form of the disease in which it appears that, because of the vaccination, there
is an increased susceptibility to measles viruses, resulting from a damaged
immune response. (JAMA, 1980, Vol. 1244,
No. 8, pp. 804-806.)
A review of 1600 cases of measles in Quebec, Canada, between January and
May 1989 revealed that 58 per cent of school-age cases had been previously
vaccinated. (MMWR, Measles - Quebec.
1989; 38: 329-330.)
Since the widespread use of the mumps vaccine, the incidence of the
disease has shifted to adolescents and adults who are much more susceptible to
the complications of testicular and ovarian infection which can lead to
sterility. During the period between 1967 and 1971 the annual average cases of
mumps in persons greater or equal to 15 years of age was 8.3 percent; in 1987
this same age group accounted for 38.3 percent of cases, which is more than an
eightfold increase. (MMWR,
Mumps - United States, 1985-1988. 1989; 38: 101-105.)
The HEW reported in 1970 that as much as 26 percent of children
receiving rubella vaccination, in national testing programs, developed
arthalgia or arthritis. Many had to seek medical attention and some were
hospitalised to test for rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis. (Science, US, March 26, 1977.) This vaccine has been shown to cause
serious reactions including convulsions, anaphylactoid allergic reactions,
serum sickness-like reactions and death.
(Pediatrics, 1987, Milstien et al., 80: 270-274.)
A case-control study has shown that 41 percent of meningitis occurred in
children vaccinated against the disease. The vaccine's protective efficacy was
minus 58 percent. This means that children are much more likely to get the
disease if they are vaccinated. (JAMA,
1988, Osterholm et al., 260: 1423-1428.)
