VACCINATIONS - NOT SAFE, NOT EFFECTIVE

Medical authorities are concealing from the public the damning results of their own studies and reports which prove that the risks of severe reactions to vaccines are actually far greater than that the public is being told. This information also casts serious doubt on the effectiveness of vaccines.

The following information presented here is just some of the massive evidence which is being suppressed by the authorities.

POLIO

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.)

Paralytic polio was rare until the late nineteenth century, at which point mass vaccination for various diseases became routine in the West. With increasing levels of vaccination against various diseases in the Third World, paralytic polio is now a problem there as well.

PERTUSSIS (WHOOPING COUGH)

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 improvements in socio-economic conditions the incidence and deaths from whooping cough have declined significantly, well before the introduction of the vaccine. Whooping cough can be a serious disease in very young children if treated inappropriately. Homoeopathic medicines have proved to be very successful in treating the disease.

DIPHTHERIA AND TETANUS

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.)

In order to reduce the considerable reactions associated with the tetanus vaccine, it has been over the decades made progressively weaker. Associated with this reduction in reactivity there has been a concomitant reduction in its antigencity (the ability to confer protection).
(The People's Doctor, Volume 8, Number 12, Mendelsohn, R.)

Because of improved general public health measures, housing and diet, diphtheria is now virtually non-existant in western countries. If contracted, diphtheria is readily treatable.

Good wound care is the single most important factor in the prevention of tetanus in fresh wounds. This means thorough cleansing of the wound and removal of all foreign bodies and dead tissue.

MEASLES

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.)

Measles has histrorically been a common childhood disease with rare complications, and these are easily preventable.

MUMPS

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.)

Mumps in children is a mild, benign disease.

RUBELLA (GERMAN MEASLES)

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.)

As with mumps the incidence of rubella has shifted to older age groups since the widespread vaccinations for rubella. During the period between 1966 and 1968, twenty-three percent of rubella cases occurred among persons 15 years or over. In 1987 this same age group accounted for 48 percent of cases.
(MMWR, Rubella and congenital rubella syndrome - United States, 1985-1988. 1989, 38: 173-178.)

Rubella is a mild childhood disease which requires no treatment. However, a woman who contracts rubella during the first 3 months of pregnancy risks abortion, miscarriage, or birth defects in her child.

MENINGITIS

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.)

Current childcare practices, specifically our tendency to institutionalise children too early, have given rise to epidemics of the form of meningitis that the Hib vaccine purports to protect against. The centres most at risk include those where workers used towels or handkerchiefs to wipe children's noses, or allowed in children who had diarrhoea or weren't toilet trained.

REPORT VACCINE DAMAGES OR FAILURES

If you or your child's vaccination has caused any adverse reaction or had failed to protect against the targeted disease write to the Immunisation Investigation Group - P.O. Box 900, Katoomba NSW 2780. Please enclose an s.a.e.
