Vaccination and immuno-difficiency in children
by Gunner Ødum MD

Classical Homeopath MDSKH

Like everybody else I have been told that vaccinations can protect us against dangerous diseases like small-pox (variola), tuberculosis, diphteria, polio, tetanus and whooping cough. These are all of them serious illnesses, which have cost the lives of a lot of people. Children have been especially threatened, and consequently I have never been in doubt, when it came to vaccination of children. It was important to protect them against these dreadful diseases.

This was my attitude as a student of medicin and later on as a qualified doctor. I was told that on rare occasions there might be serious side effects like encephalitis, but they occurred so seldom that they were nothing compared to the damages and deaths caused by the diseases themselves. Most side effects consisted of a local irritation caused by the insertion, a little screaming and some passing fever. Moreover I was told that the serious brain damages might be coincidental, having nothing to do with the vaccination.

As mentioned before I`m a qualified doctor and have worked as such in the Danish health insurance system for 10 years (1977-1986). Concurrently I had become interested in alternative therapy, but I still believed that vaccination was the safest protection against infant and children diseases. In 1987 I started an education as a Classical Homeopath. This was the start of my scepticism towards the effectiveness of vaccinations. Nevertheless I submitted to being vaccinated, when I was sent to Croatia in 1993 as a UN - doctor.

The real change of attitude took place when in November 1995 I worked as a substitute for a doctor in Scoresbysund, Greenland. I had been given the Danish translation of a book about homeopathic treatment of vaccination damages. The reading of this book made me alert to the problems of vaccination, and I loathed being forced to vaccinate the Greenland children. Two things about the book fascinated me especially:

1. The possibility of treating children suffering from side effects from vaccination with homeopathic nosodes. Learning that the decline in the number of deaths among children suffering from children´s diseases was not due to vaccinations. This decline had started long before doctors had begun vaccinating and was primarily due to better personal hygiene, improved sanitation, pure drinking water, wholesome food and generally improved condition of life.

When returning from Greenland in December 1995 I immediately applied my new knowledge on children suffering from various chronic diseases. It was my suspicion that these diseases had been originated by vaccinations.

With a background in this understanding I started proving my suspicion by giving children suffering from the above mentioned chronic diseases homeopathic nosode therapy.

In the following I`m going to describe four cases:

Kris was born on 7^th of March 1990. I first saw him in 1992, when I treated him for asthmatic bronchitis. His mother told me he was born a healthy child, weighing 3.200 g. He had been given the usual vaccinations stipulated by the Danish health system. After one of these the parents remembered him crying and screaming all through the night. They didn`t remember how old he was at that time, but it had been difficult to get in contact with him. He had high fever after each vaccination, and after the third DiTePol and MMR his mother had noticed a remarkable change in his behaviour. He was seldom happy, often dissatisfied and became easily angry and aggressive. Occasionally it was difficult to get into contact with him.

At the age of 10 months he started in daynursery and had recurrently returning otitis media and bronchitis. He was given penicillin several times, had both eardrums punctured and a drainage tube inserted. He lost weight, looked pale and unhealthy and was often tired.

After I had given him two homeopathic remedies his earproblems disappeared, while his bronchitis still recurred.

In 1992 he had started in Kindergarten, where he was extremely shy and reticent. When his parents had visitors he hid in his room and would see nobody. He often had furious fits of rage, kicking, beating and scratching. As this behaviour grew worse his anxious parents came to see me in December 1995, the day after my return from Greenland. I gave Kris a vaccinenosode. It was the first time I tried a nosode therapy. When I saw Kris again one month later his behaviour had changed remarkably. His fits of rage had diminished and become less violent, and his parents had obtained a better contact with him. His appetite had improved and he had put on weight.

One year later his parents told me that Kris had developed positively. His bronchitis was still recurring, but he no longer felt so ill and weak as formerly.In school he was still a little shy, but the teachers described him as a happy boy who felt secure and comfortable.

I must admit that I felt rather astonished to see the dramatic effect of just one vaccine nosode, but I also felt confirmed in my suspicion that it was the vaccines that had brought about the change in his personality.

Her name was Elisa and she was almost 2 years old when I saw her in October 1995. She had also gone through the usual vaccination programmes. Six months old she started in a daynursery and had constantly recurring colds with coughs and fever. In periods of fever she had to be looked after by her grandmother, but when she returned to the daynursery she fell ill again.

I started the therapy by giving her a homeopathic remedy Calc-p C 200. It helped her to stay well for a whole month. When she fell ill again I gave her another Calc-p C 200 with the same result. She was well for a month, but then fell ill again. I started wondering why this was so.

After I had returned from Greenland and successfully had tried the nosode therapy on Kris, I thought that Elisa might be the victim of an immuno-deficiency caused by vaccines. I tested her and found that she had been especially weakened by the whooping cough vaccination. So I gave her vaccine nosode. The result was astonishing. Elisa was well for more than 6 months. Then she had another vaccination according to the usual vaccination programmes - and fell ill again. The same thing happened every time, whichever vaccine she was given.

This was the second time I had seen the effect of nosode therapy. I had also learned that the effect of homeopathic remedies like Calc-p C 200 is limited because homeopathy seems to be blocked up by vaccines.

My third case was Kristoffer. He was born in 1988 and 7½ years old, when I saw him in March 1996. Since infancy he had suffered from otitis media and now had to read lips because he was almost deaf. He had also developed asthma and was daily given Bricanyl spray and Spirocort spray. Because of his asthma he could not play with other children. He had no appetite and was often aggressive and sorry for himself.

I tested him for vaccination damage and gave him a vaccine nosode. The parents told me that already the first evening there was a noticeable change. For the first time in years Kristoffer was hungry! In the course of a few weeks he had changed totally. His appetite was better, he had more energy, his hair was glossy and his hearing had improved to the extent that he need not read lips any more. A couple of months later his asthma medicine was discontinued, and he could now play with other children, running and riding his bicycle.

I no longer doubted that vaccines caused serious damages on children`s healths, but what amazed me was the fact that one single pill could initiate a process of healing so quickly in a child having suffered from vaccination damages since infancy.

Carina was born in May 1993 and had been given only some of the vaccinations stipulated for her age. Generally she was strong and healthy and her problems were not colds or otitis media. Still she had had pneumonia in connection with colds. Her problem was not having a language. When she was 3 years old she could not say one understandable word. Her mother came to me because she had heard about the damaging effects of vaccinations on children's health, and now she wanted her child to be sort of purified for vaccines.

I tested Carina and was confirmed in my suspicion that her problem was caused by vaccines. I gave her a vaccine nosode, and less than two days later she was able to utter a whole sentence containing 4 understandable words. At the same time she was in a very unstable psychic state of mind, being very irritable and aggressive. From now on language was pouring out of her mouth, and her personality changed completely after having been confined by lack of language. After 6 month she was in possession of a language adequate to her age. Her immune system must have benefited, too, because when an epidemic of impetigo broke out in her Kindergarten, she was the only one not to catch it. This case started me wondering whether many of the speech problems met with in schools could have their origin in vaccinations? If so, then a nosode therapy would be more helpful than any educational endeavors!

After these 4 initial cases in 1996 I have treated more than 700 children whose immunity had been weakened by vaccinations. The chronic diseases I had seen in a lot of children were the following:

1. Constantly returning colds.

2. Fluids from the ears/ otitis media.

3. Defective hearing.

4. Asthma and bronchitis.

5. Recurring pneumonia.

6. Eczema of various kinds.

7. Sleeping problems.

8. Appetite problems.

9. Hyperactivity.

10. Physical or psychic handicaps.

11. Speech disturbances.

12. Backward readers.

13. Behaviour disorder.

14. DAMP - children (Dysfunction as to Attention, Motor nerves and Perception)

15. Autism.

16. Epilepsy.

17. Rheumatoid arthritis and

18. Diabetes Mellitus.

It was not difficult for me to understand why so many children were ailing, when I considered what was the content of the vaccines injected into infants and children. Primarily vaccines contain pathogenic germs or vira, mostly grown on animal tissue. These germs or vira have been weakened or killed in order not to provoke the disease - anyway only in a mild form. These vaccines contain tissue fixatives (formaldehyde, aluminium phosphate, aluminium hydroxide) and preservative (thiomersal, a mercury compound). Certain vaccines even contain neomycin, which is an antibiotic. When injected they cause local reactions (redness, swelling at injection site) or even systemic reactions (fever, vomiting). Thiomersal causes various allergies.

All medical systems - except orthodox or allopathic medicine - look at the human body as a whole and interconnected system. Homeopathy understands disease as a need of the body to rid itself of toxins, and it does so in an orderly and meaningful fashion without attempting to suppress the symptoms. Vaccines introduce vira directly in the bloodstream while the natural way of catching a disease goes through the air passage or the digestive organs, where the local immune defence sets in. Far from preventing diseases vaccines push the disease into a chronic form and deeper into the body, where it then attacks vital organs. The result of suppressing measles and other infectious diseases in this manner is cancer and other autoimmune and chronic diseases.

It has been documented in medical literature (Viera Scheibner 1993) that people who contracted cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases in later years have remarkably few infectious diseases of childhood to report.

The sordid story of vaccination programmes reveals the enormous gaps in the knowledge base of the orthodox medical establishment, especially a profound lack of knowledge of the dynamics of health and disease and functioning of the human body. It is the same medical industry, which enjoys the protection of the institutions of the State in most industrially developed countries.

After these 4 initial cases I have treated more than 700 children whose immunity had been weakened by vaccinations, but all the time I kept thinking: We can`t solve this problem with the help of therapy. The only solution is stopping vaccinations! I know we are talking about big business now, and that we are up against powerful forces. The vaccination industry is backed up world-wide by WHO in close co-operation with governments, financiers and industrialists. But this is no excuse for not starting doing something now. Because if we don`t try to stop this madness now the coming generations will suffer not only from immuno-deficiency, but we`ll see changes of genetic codes caused by the animal tissues injected into our children.

Don't ever stop screaming about the present situation. I suggest you do your screaming into the ears of your legislators, tell them you want ALL laws advocating mandatory medicine repealed. OFF THE BOOKS!  Forget the polite talk, it never works against organizations such as the AMA, FDA, CDC, NIH - all of which destroy rather than improve, public health.  These government organizations have conspired with legislators and have poisoned the soil in which we grow our food, they have poisoned our drinking water with fluorides and chlorides, they are now  poisoning our food chain with genetically altered foods that have already knocked off an entire population of pigs... BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE THEY ARE POISONING OUR BODIES - the last frontier of privacy of the common man!
      
      Scream into the ear of your legislators - tell them we're NOT interested in SAFE VACCINES, or IMPROVED VACCINES, or HIGHLY EFFECTIVE vaccines -
      
      Scream into their ears that what we want is AN END to MANDATED VACCINES!!
      
      Scream into their ears that we want ALL MANDATED MEDICINE off the law books.
      
      We'll never get these greedy medical criminals off our backs until enough mothers like yourself are screaming scientific facts into the ears of their legislators. There is just too much money being made by the vaccine drug lords. The legislators will never get the scientific facts on vaccines from the people responsible to deliver those facts. Those people are in the pay of the drug companies. A long list of which appears at the end of this letter.
      
      Only when enough mothers scream into the ears of their legislators will we rid ourselves of these wretched medical quacks who are destroying the health of our children and our nation [factually and statistically] via highly skilled propaganda.
      
      This powerful, well supported propaganda machine has infected the public mind and the minds of MOST legislators and given the medical quacks pseudo official status - a dangerous situation warned against by one of the writers of our constitution, [Benjamin Rush MD] who was himself an MD.
      
      Unfortunately for the public health, and for the health of  mothers such as yourself, and for the health of your children [which has been severely reduced by the medical quacks] Rush's advice was ignored by the other honorable men who put together the greatest document for freedom ever devised throughout history. They made one mistake, they placed trust in future politicians, a fatal error as far as the public health goes.  The greedy medical quacks have taken full advantage of the situation - preying upon the greed and egos of: the medical doctors, medical researchers, and the appointed guardians of the public health - the legislators.
      
      Your legislator is the most culpable of all those involved - it is natural for men to want to prosper and do well financially so as to provide for themselves and their families, but not at the expense of their neighbors life and health. That is what the constitution and  the legislature is for, to guard the public against the uncontrolled, natural desires of men arising out of their human nature. The constitution and the legislative guardians are there to protect us  [literally] from ourselves. They have allowed their own greed to get in the way of their duty to the public.

To those who think of themselves as antivaccinationists,

I keep seeing all these email messages entitled

How about one entitled:

"HOW TO PUT THE MEDICAL QUACKS AND VACCINE PEDDLERS IN JAIL AND GET THESE FRIGGING UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS OFF THE BOOKS!!!"

Wake up out there folks, you're all sound asleep. The white collar criminals go right on doing quack medicine right under your noses - even those MDs with children who have suffered the results of their own stupidity go right on recommending other "safe" vaccines!! And the stupid public goes right on worshipping these half educated fools who are more of a danger than those who recommend vaccines outright.

Get the point for God's sake, all the old diseases were on the way out before ANY of these vaccines were EVER used and when they were used only a tiny portion of the  world population received them. No vaccine ever prevented cured or ameliorated ANY disease - the diseases were all the result of populations outgrowing supplies of fresh foods.

GET WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!

  "The only safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used."  

                      --Dr. James A. Shannon      National Institutes of Health

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 searching 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 William C. Douglass, M.D. (Honored twice as America's 'Doctor of the Year')

"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.

"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 Polio vaccine. 

 "All vaccination has the effect of directing the three values of he blood into or toward the zone characteristics of cancer and leukemia...Vaccines do predispose to cancer and  leukemia." Professor L. Vincent - founder of Bioelectronics

"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.

"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

"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

"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

"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 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

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."-

"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.

"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

Perhaps the best hope for change is coming from front-line physicians themselves. Several years ago, Dr. Bob Goodman of New York noticed a sharp spike in the number of patients asking for "clean" doctors. He set up

 a website where doctors can pledge to accept no money or gifts from the pharmaceutical industry, and to seek out unbiased research.

From Arnold Gore:

Hi Activists and Consumers,

Dr. Rebecca Carley, MD the leading authoritative medical voice of reason warning parents of the potential dangers of vaccinations is being brought up on charges to take away her license. The state ordered Dr.Carley to undergo a psychiatric examination conducted by a doctor whose license is subject to the whims of this medical board. The psychiatrist indicated that Dr.Carley was "delusional" based on statements made on her public access cable TV program. The statements concerned the very unusual actions and failures to act as procedurally mandated. Dr.Carley has been subjected to the most reprehensible conduct of any government agency.

The state has not been content with attempting to take away her medical license, which is a dispute between adults. They have stooped to taking away her only child and giving him to his father who sexually abused the child, despite overwhelming evidence presented by the child's foster mother, social worker and the head of the Sex Abuse Unit of Nassau County Medical center. I have personally seen court transcripts of testimony verifying these circumstances. The child complained that the father inserted a magic marker in his anus and he was unable to move his bowels. The child was examined at Nassau County Medical Center and a "rape kit" was prepared with DNA evidence. For some unexplained reason the police did not pick up the evidence kit as they procedurally should. Therefore Nassau County Medical Center threw out the evidence kit. The Nassau County District Attorney, therefore stated that because he did not have the evidence kit he dropped the charges against the father. This unusual chronology would raise eyebrows among most "reasonable persons" Last June I was scheduled to appear on Health Action with Kathy Davis. We asked Family Court to give their side of the case before we presented our story on the radio program. The authorities knew we were scheduling a telephone call to Dr.Carley on Tuesday between 2 and 3pm. Curiously, when Kathy Davis attempted to call Dr.Carley's telephone number, the phone did not work. When she called another doctor scheduled for that day his phone did work. Therefore the problem was Dr.Carley's telephone. When Dr.Carley, heard the program on the radio and heard we could not call her and she called in from a cell phone, and gave out her office phone number. Some listeners tried to call her number but also were suspiciously unable to get through, pointing to someone deliberately disabling her phone service at that crucial time. This is
not a "delusion."

In case anyone reading this is unfamiliar with the facts legitimating the controversy surrounding vaccination, the official federal data cannot be disputed. The federal government pays out over $100 million dollars a year to the parents of vaccine injured and dead children. Under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program individual payments are capped at $250,000 per case, these official figures are posted at www.hrsa.gov/bhpr/vicp

What started as a small program has exploded as vaccine manufacturers no longer have the incentive to make sure vaccines are as safe as possible. Most of the cost can even be passed on to the consumer, who has no choice.

The OPMC and its consulting psychiatrist are blatantly violating Dr.Carley's free speech rights protected under the constitution. The Supreme Court has particularly defended political speech which is at issue in this case. It is embarrassing to the State to have a doctor reversing vaccine injured diseases and warning parents to educate themselves before they consent to the use of vaccinations. Call Governor Pataki's office in NYC at 212-681-4580 or In Albany at 518-474-1041 and ask that make sure the OPMC observes Dr.Carley's First Amendment rights to free speech without jeopardizing her medical license. In this election year he should be responsive. In the meantime save the date of Thursday July 11 for a protest demonstration at the OPMC hearing to be held at 5 Penn Plaza at 34th Street and 8th Avenue right near Penn Station starting at 8am.

"My honest opinion is that vaccination is the cause of more disease and suffering than anything I could name.

Dr. Harry R. Baybee

Harold E Buttram, MD

"In response to the recent flurry of events, I feel I have both a right and an obligation to make a few comments:

"Based on more than forty years of observation of the vaccine scene, I am increasingly convinced that science has not and never will be a governing factor in this area as long as vested interest has the power to mandate vaccines. Experience has shown that those in power simply ignore that which does not suit them. "In my opinion there is only one basic issue with which we are confronted; there is only one hope of reversing the current downward health trend among American children, and that is for parents to gain the right of free choice to accept or reject vaccines based on informed consent. Under today's bureaucratic regime, this right will never be given to parents. Following legal channels, it is a right that must be demanded. It will not be easy, but it can and must be done. Personally I will support anything or anyone leading in this direction."

False hope on TB

JOHN HUMPHRYS (Comment, last week) writes that the Americans would not touch TB vaccine (BCG), but it seems to do the trick here. It does not. BCG, the most used vaccine in the world since it was introduced more than 50 years ago, has made no difference to TB in countries which rely solely on it to halt its spread. It has never been claimed to prevent TB, but even the evidence of its protectiveness is patchy and historical. And there have been no studies of its effectiveness in the past three decades.
 
It may leave an ugly scar and, indeed, do more harm than good. Further, as TB, with rare exceptions, is largely a disease of the elderly in the Western world, vaccinating children makes no sense. TB in Britain is a legacy of its empire. As long as people from third world countries come and settle here, there cannot be a let-up in its spread. People who come from high prevalence countries will continue to harbour TB germs in their bodies until they die. The World Health Organisation has set its face against vaccination and routine screening. It advocates effective disease management - early diagnosis and supervised treatment - to contain it and avoid its spread to the host community. Vaccination wastes resources, gives false hope and distracts attention from what needs to be done.

Girl gets $4.7M for vaccine injuries
Friday, August 16, 2002
By LINDY WASHBURN
Staff Writer
a New Jersey girl whose mental development stopped at 2 months old after a routine immunization has received a $4.7 million settlement from a national trust fund. The money comes out of MY pocket, it's a tax supported fund, it is NOT paid for by the perpetrator of the crime, it is paid by the abused citizens. We can thank our legislators for that.

More than $3 million of the award will go to an annuity that will pay for the child's care as long as she lives. Its payout could exceed $61 million if she lives to 71, said Mindy Michaels Roth, the Glen Rock attorney who brought the case in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. So my children and probably grandchildren will be paying off that bill.

The payment to the girl, now 9 years old but with the mental ability of a 2-month-old, comes from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), funded by a 75-cent tax on each vaccination. Congress created the fund in 1986, at a time when a growing number of lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers was driving them out of the marketplace, and more parents were choosing not to immunize their children because they feared harmful side effects.

Why are not the perpetrators of this crime brought to justice? Would not an auto manufacturer or toy manufacturer be brought to trial for such a travesty? Why are medical doctors and vaccine manufacturers immune from the laws of this country? Are the legislators responsible? Are we sleepy people responsible? Is the consensus of medical opinion, driven by drug company profit responsible? Do we ALL share in the blame?

"It removes a tremendous weight as to how we'll care for [our daughter] financially,'' said the girl's father, who lives in Central Jersey and asked that the family not be identified. "As finite human beings, we die. Who's going to care for her? This eliminates that burden'' because her eventual care in a nursing home is provided for, he said.

You bet, it's all paid for by our hard earned tax dollars rather than by the perpetrators of this heinous crime.

Congress established the program to stabilize the supply of vaccines and free money for research on safer alternatives.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A  SAFER ALTERNATIVE- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A  SAFE VACCINE - THAT IS A CLEVER OXYMORON. EVERY VACCINE IS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. Congress established that program at the insistence of the vaccine makers lobbyists who were lobbying the legislators and paying them money for their campaigns to get themselves off the malpractise HIT LIST. They succeeded!! The tax payor, the poor slob that suffers from the ENFORCED, MANDATORY QUACK MEDICINE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES pays for it!!

The program also created a less expensive method to resolve claims outside the normal court system. Less expensive? I'd say that in the long run, protecting criminals from engaging in criminal activity is a LOT more expensive. And don't kid yourself with any idea about the humanitarian nature concerning the practise of medicine.

Since its inception, the fund has settled more than 5,500 claims, and awarded nearly $1.4 billion. Awards range up to $9.1 million. This year's average has been $800,000.

All paid for by the tax payors, not the criminals.

The fund provides compensation for injuries from all vaccines mandated by the federal government: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP); measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); polio, hepatitis B, chickenpox, and H. influenza Type B.
The key here is MANDATED - THIS IS THE MOST HEINOUS CRIME OF ALL, THE IDEA OF MANDATING A FORCED INJECTION OF A FOREIGN PROTEIN INTO THE BODY OF A FEE CITIZEN DEFIES ALL COMMON SENSE. IT VIOLATES THE MOST BASIC GUARANTEE OF OUR CONSTITUTION. THAT IS THE POWER OF MEDICINE............WAKE UP TO IT........IT WILL GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER!!!!

This month, the pneumococcal vaccine was added to the list, and it became easier for parents whose babies suffered a bowel blockage following the rotavirus vaccine to secure compensation. Injuries from smallpox and anthrax vaccines are not covered by the fund.

Can you imagine an educated person injecting a foreign protein into an infant that would cause such a condition under the guise of protecting them from some disease that began to disappear long before the vaccines were ever used? DOES ANYONE EVER READ ANY HISTORY????

Legislation is also pending, Roth said, to consider autism as a possible vaccine-related injury. WHAT A JOKE!! If you don't understand how and why vaccines caused AUTISM, you're brain dead! 62.5 times the toxic dose of mercury in every booster the kids received!! And some people are still wondering about the cause of AUTISM??? This is the crime of the century folks and the perpetrators have yet to be brought to justice. Let's get them along with the ENRON criminals and let them all hang together!

Some people believe the rising incidence of autism is partly attributable to the growing number of vaccines administered before a child's immune system is mature. In particular, they cite the mercury used as a component in some vaccines as a possible toxin. DUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

However, a recent Institute of Medicine report concluded there was insufficient evidence to accept or reject a link between thimerosal, a mercury component in some vaccines, and autism and other developmental and neurological disorders. Everyone who was part of that panel belongs behind bars.  Everyone on that committee should be brought to justice and tried for the crimes of conspiracy and at the very least, involuntary manslaughter.

Of the 4 million children each year who receive multiple vaccines, about 10,000 adverse reactions are reported to the federal Centers for Disease ontrol and Prevention. (But it must be noted that according to the AMA's own research only 10% of all injuries ever get reported.) Most of those reactions are minor, but about 15 percent report incidents of hospitalization, disability, life-threatening illnesses, or death. Those reports do not prove the vaccine caused the problem, however.

DUHHHHHHHHH!!!!
The Central Jersey girl, the youngest of four children, was a bright, healthy 2-month-old when she visited a pediatrician in September 1993, her mother said. While there, she was given a vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP). Eleven hours later, her mother noticed odd eye movements as she changed the baby's diaper. She put the baby to bed and went to sleep, she said. When she awoke the next morning, she realized her daughter hadn't cried for her 3 a.m. feeding.

She found the baby "red in the face, foamy at the mouth, and having difficulty breathing,'' the mother said. The baby didn't have a fever, however, and the pediatrician advised her to keep an eye on the situation. That pediatrician belongs in jail as does ANY pediatrician giving ANY baby ANY vaccine for ANY reason IN FACE EVIDENCE - PRESENT AND PAST.

The baby was very lethargic, her parents said. Later, as her father held her in his arms, she started to shake - the first of many seizures. As the seizures increased, she was hospitalized.

"It was very frightening,'' the girl's mother said.

At first, neither the family nor the doctors connected her problems with the vaccination. "It's a highly emotional state,'' the father said. "It takes time to wrestle with this. ... There are all sorts of different distractions.'' At first, they didn't know her condition would be permanent. Health-care professionals tried to give them hope. Only through careful questioning did the parents learn the likely long-term prognosis for their daughter. They hoped that her condition would not be permanent, but they realized they had to plan as if it were. When a pediatric neurologist told them he believed the girl's problems were linked to the vaccine, he suggested they might seek compensation from the fund. That was when they learned the urgency of filing such a claim.

The fund operates with strict time limits, and the family said it spoke publicly to help make others aware of the potential for compensation and its timetables. There is no statute of limitations on CAPITAL CRIMES - this was a capital crime committed by the pediatrician. The pediatrician and his co conspirators belong on trial for criminal negligence and for children who die, for murder or at the very least, involuntary manslaughter A child injured by a vaccine must file a claim within three years after the first symptoms appear.

The family of a child who dies must file within two years of the death. There is no statute of limitations on CAPITAL CRIMES - this was a capital crime committed by the pediatrician. The pediatrician and his coconspirators belong on trial for criminal negligence and for children who die, for murder or at the very least, involuntary manslaughter  No lawsuits concerning vaccine injuries can be filed in a civil court, the law says, until after a claim has been filed with the vaccine compensation program and the litigant has decided to reject its award. Another way the legislator protected the real criminals in this situation.

As a result, the number of lawsuits filed against vaccine manufacturers has plunged since the fund's inception: four suits against DTP makers in 1997, compared with 255 in 1985. Of course - this is what they want , no more litigation!!! And we allow that to happen - that is the REAL problem here.

In New Jersey, four attorneys are listed by the Court of Federal Claims for iling vaccine-related claims with the program. Roth and her partner, Drew ritcher of Britcher, Leone & Roth, are two of them.

"People need to know to get to the fund,'' Roth said. "They have this child. They have huge medical bills. They'll be capped-out on their insurance. There is a place to go. If you don't go there, you aren't going to go anywhere. You will be dismissed from state court, and have no recourse.'' The program, which operates with a special master, pays attorney fees regardless of whether the claim succeeds or fails. The fees are based on an hourly rate of $175, plus expenses - not a percentage of the settlement, as in malpractice cases. Awards for pain and suffering are capped at $250,000. The child is the sole beneficiary of the award, not the family. If the child dies, the annuity established as part of the award reverts to the compensation fund.

Another ripoff - who has damage claims here besides the abused child?

Nine years after the Central New Jersey girl's DTP shot, she continues to suffer seizures and to be affected by swelling in the brain. "In physical development, she's a 9-year-old girl,'' said her father, chuckling that she may turn out to be the tallest member of the family. Mentally, or cognitively, however, "her development was arrested at two months.'' She cannot control her own movements, and is blind. The family cares for her at home. Among their first purchases from the settlement is a specially equipped van, with a ramp and space for her wheelchair.

The girl weighs 47 pounds; lifting her in and out of the car has become increasingly difficult. The van hasn't arrived yet, her mother said, "but we feel better already, just having ordered it.''

COMMENTS:
 
So, is this a success story or not? I think the parents of this young girl would rather have a normal healthy child. They would have preferred to know the possible consequences and then be allowed to choose whether they would
take the risks.

What this story doesn't tell is the hell these parents had to go through just to get this case to court. Thanks to the NVIC and this special group of lawyers for their tenacity and courage to fight a powerful system. This article should serve as a wake up call to all of you who think it can't happen to you. As this article pointed out their are at least 10,000 reported injuries and this accounts for only 10% of all injuries ever being reported. This lack of reporting is mostly due to ignorance on our part. But hopefully with seminars and info such as this you will be able to pass on to others that these things can and do happen. Even more importantly I would rather see all of you learn ALL of the facts and then decide whether it is worth the risks of getting these shots at all. This article only discusses the short term ramifications but there are long term problems as well, which we have discussed in past articles and seminars. These problems may not show up till years later. I still have not been able to find an open date to hold this years vaccination seminar, but once I find an empty (?) time slot I'll let you know.

Thanks and please feel free to pass this article on to others who may need to know!

Vets focus on vaccine, cancer link in pets


By CINDY SWIRKO
Sun staff writer

Before Dr. Patti Gordon will vaccinate a pet at her All Cats HealthCare Clinic, the owner must sign a waiver acknowledging a link between cancer and certain vaccinations. And when Gordon does give the shot, it may be low on one of Tiger's legs. "I give them way far down in those legs so that if there is a sarcoma, amputation is usually more of a financially affordable alternative than radiation and chemo," Gordon said. "We are over-vaccinating, I think. There  are a ton of vaccines, but not everything is necessary."

Links between vaccinations and subsequent cancers and autoimmune diseases have changed the frequency and the methods of vaccination among many area veterinarians and Alachua County Animal Services. For instance, the vast majority of pet owners in Alachua County now get their cats and dogs a rabies vaccine that lasts three years - an option made available in the county in 2000 in part to reduce the threat of diseases, said  Dr. Randy Caligiuri, director of Alachua County Animal Services. But experts say pet owners should be more aware of the potential problems from vaccinations and discuss them with their veterinarian.

"People need to talk with their vet and consider the risk factors - including the sex of the animal, whether the cats are indoor or outdoor," said Dr. Janet Yamamoto, a University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine professor.  "Vets need to vaccinate as needed and not over-vaccinate. Not all vaccines need to be given annually."

Cats that are strictly indoors, for instance, and have no contact with outdoor cats do not need certain vaccinations, she said. Yamamoto developed the first feline AIDS vaccine. But she said even that vaccine should not routinely be given. Instead, it should be given only to cats at greater risk of feline AIDS, such as those that go outside or males, which get in more fights.

Vaccination-related cancer is limited to cats. It is often associated with vaccines that use a killed virus rather than a modified live virus to develop immunity. Killed-virus vaccines are most commonly used for rabies and feline leukemia. The cancer culprit may be the "adjuvant" that is used in killed-virus  vaccines. The adjuvant is a material that holds the virus in the area of the shot for a few weeks so it can be time-released slowly. The adjuvant is believed to sometimes cause fibrosarcomas - deep-rooted tumors - at the spot of vaccination.

Tumor treatment
Studies vary widely on the rate of fibrosarcomas - anywhere from one-in-1,000 to 1-in-10,000 vaccines administered.

But veterinarians say the tumors are difficult to treat.

"I personally lost a cat to fibrosarcoma," Caligiuri said. "I've done my share of taking out the tumors and they always come back. Without irradiating it or pretty much killing the cat with these other treatments, they are going to come back. When you look at the general population, it is not that bad, but it is a trend that vaccinating too often with adjuvanted stuff in cats can cause cancer."

While companies that make vaccines recommend they be given yearly, veterinarians said the vaccines typically provide longer protection. Knowing that, some veterinarians will forego the manufacturing recommendation and vaccinate less frequently.

"If you have a good veterinarian, they will tell you that you don't have to do it annually, that every two to three years is sufficient," Yamamoto said. "The companies have tried to help by combining multiple vaccines into a single vaccine so therefore you get vaccinated one time. The less immunization, the less exposure to the adjuvant." Vaccine research Some companies are now marketing adjuvant-free vaccines, but veterinarians say the products haven't been out long enough to determine if they are safe. And Gordon said she has seen sarcomas from modified live-virus vaccines and steroid injections. She said research is now focusing on whether some cats have a genetic predisposition to the tumors.

Dogs, meanwhile, are believed to be subject to autoimmune diseases from vaccines. Researchers believe the vaccines may trigger the production of antibodies that attack the dog's own tissue, blood cells or other systems. Vaccines, for instance, have been linked to a type of anemia.

Incao's Hepatitis B Vaccination Testimony in Ohio
Representative Dale Van Vyven Chairman, Health Committee
Ohio House of Representatives
77 South High Street Columbus,
Ohio 43266

Dear Representative Van Vyven:

I have been asked by Kristine M.  Severyn for testimony regarding hepatitis B vaccination.  Dr.  Severyn is doing excellent work on behalf of the children of Ohio and of our nation and I am honored to add my voice to hers in a plea for reason and objectivity regarding vaccination policy in the U.S.

I am a physician in private general practice, having received my M.D. degree in 1966 from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

For 29 years I have privately and independently pursued a study of vaccinations and vaccine policy.  I have served as an expert witness in court trials concerning vaccinations and have submitted medical opinions in cases of vaccine-damaged children adjudicated under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.  I was an invited speaker at the First International Public Conference on Vaccinations sponsored by the National Vaccine Information Center in Alexandria, Virginia in September1997.

I am one of the two physician-signers of the cover letter to the 16-page special report "Hepatitis B Vaccine: The Untold Story" which the National Vaccine Information Center sent out recently to 55,000 U.S. pediatricians.  The report was also sent to 8,000 state and federal legislators and to 1500 media outlets in the United States.

In October 1998 I was invited to speak at a special workshop on vaccinations in Manchester, New Hampshire where a citizens’ initiative to roll back the hepatitis B vaccine mandate is under way.

As a private physician with no ties to any academic or government institution, I am free to give voice to my conscience without the usual constraints that group affiliation confers.  In what follows I am motivated simply to express the truth as I see it, by a deep concern for the long term health of our nation’s children.

The present growing distrust of vaccinations by concerned parents nationwide is a grassroots movement that will not go away because it springs from a very real source: from a frequency of acute and chronic adverse effects of vaccinations far greater than is being officially acknowledged.  This grassroots movement is only bound to increase until its concerns are acknowledged and dealt with in a scientifically objective and forthright manner.

In 1979 the Centers for Disease Control stated: "Vaccinations are recommended and administered to millions of children and other individuals each year on the presumption (emphasis mine) that the benefits far outweigh the risks.  The benefit side of the equation is straightforward: vaccinations can prevent serious disease.  The risk side is not as straightforward since it includes factors that are known and others that may exist but have not yet been discovered.  It is necessary, therefore, to maintain surveillance of potential risks of vaccination to continually reevaluate whether individual vaccinations are, on balance, good for people."

The above clear statement of purpose to monitor vaccine safety has unfortunately been totally eclipsed by our nations’ enormous intellectual, bureaucratic and economic commitment to vaccination as the method to eradicate illness.

This commitment has made it virtually impossible to achieve an open, fair and unbiased risk-benefit evaluation of any vaccination in use today.  With a conflict of interest of this magnitude, the pressures that exist to maintain the momentum of our national vaccine initiative and to avoid "alarming the public" overshadow by far those voices who might question the wisdom of such a one-sided and politicized health agenda.

In addition, severe constraints are placed on the media in the name of "responsible journalism" with the result that the American public very seldom hears both sides of the vaccination story, and comes to have an unquestioning faith in vaccinations as our greatest hope against future imagined disease plagues.  In this fear-based scenario, the questioning
voice of reason is drowned out amid the hysteria surrounding the emerging "killer infections" which are such a favorite media topic.

This propagation of fear by the media and by its sources in the public health industry has resulted in a growth of power of this industry far beyond the usual checks and balances of our democracy. One aspect of this power is the ability of many state health departments to legally mandate a new vaccination for all children completely bypassing any discussion or deliberation in that state’s legislature. In a democracy this cannot and must not be.

Practicing physicians and the general public rely on the monitoring capacity and the scientific objectivity of the C.D.C., the F.D.A.  and the health departments of our 50 states to alert us to the very real risks of vaccinations in use today, and to provide us with as accurate an assessment of that risk, both acute and chronic, as is scientifically possible.  In fact, the C.D.C.  has retreated utterly from its 1979 statement quoted above emphasizing the importance of vaccine safety monitoring. It is extremely regrettable, but no exaggeration to say that with regard to informing physicians and the public on vaccine safety, the responsible agencies have failed the American people.

In support of this assertion, I cite the following facts:

1.  In 1994 a special committee of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences published a comprehensive review of vaccine safety which had been commissioned by federal law.  Of five possible and plausible adverse effects of the hepatitis B vaccination which the committee investigated, they were unable to come to any conclusion for four of them because they found to their dismay that the relevant research had not been done!

Why aren’t the agencies responsible for vaccine safety commissioning such research?  For the fifth adverse effect, anaphylactic shock, the committee concluded that the evidence positively established a causal relation to the hepatitis B vaccination.

2.  In contrast to the lack of research on the adverse effects of hepatitis B vaccination found by the Institute of Medicine, the National Vaccine Information Center in its recent special report on hepatitis B vaccination sites 38 reports in the international medical literature, some dating back to 1987, that hepatitis B vaccination is causing chronic autoimmune and neurological disease in children and adults.

3.  In July 1998, 15,000 French citizens filed a class action lawsuit against the French government accusing it of understating the risks of hepatitis B vaccine and of exaggerating its benefits for the average person.  In October 1998 the French government declared a moratorium on hepatitis B vaccination in public schools while it evaluates more
carefully the true risk-benefit profile of the vaccine.

4.  Since July 1990, 17,497 cases of hospitalizations, injuries and deaths in America following hepatitis B vaccination have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of the U.S. government.  This figure includes 146 deaths in individuals after receiving only hepatitis B vaccine without any other vaccines, including 73 deaths in children under 14 years old.

In 1996 alone there were 872 serious adverse events in children under 14 years old reported to VAERS. 658 of those injuries were following hepatitis B vaccination in combination with other vaccinations and 214 of these injuries were after hepatitis B vaccination alone.  In these children under 14 years old, there were 35 deaths after hepatitis B vaccination in combination and 13 deaths after hepatitis B vaccination alone, for a total of 48 deaths.  Compare these statistics with the total number of hepatitis B cases nationwide reported that same year (1996) in children under 14, just 279, and the conclusion is obvious that the risks of hepatitis B vaccination far outweigh its benefits.

In those infants who died under one month of age, most of the deaths are classified as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).  However, in the past this syndrome has never struck infants so young, and SIDS is officially defined as beginning only after one month of age.

With 6,000 children dying of SIDS every year, we have no idea how many of these deaths are actually caused by hepatitis B vaccination.  Though the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system was created by federal law to permit a more accurate assessment of the risks of vaccination, and although the raw data it generates is analyzed, the individual reports of injury or death are rarely, if ever, investigated.  If one factors in that fewer than 10% of physicians report adverse reactions to vaccines because we are taught to regard them as merely "temporally related", as only a coincidence, it would be quite plausible to say that the risks of hepatitis B vaccination clearly outweigh its benefits for 99% of the children who receive it.

5.  The best way to determine the risk-benefit profile of any vaccination is well known and in theory is quite simple: Take a group of vaccinated children and compare them with a matched group of unvaccinated children.  If the groups are well-matched and large enough and the length of time the children are observed following vaccination long enough, then such a study is deemed the "gold standard" of vaccine research because its data is as accurate a reflection as medical research is capable of achieving of how vaccinations are actually affecting our nation’s children.

Incredible as it sounds, such a common-sense controlled study comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated children has never been done in America for any vaccination. This means that mass vaccination is essentially a large-scale experiment on our nation’s children.

6.  A critical point which is never mentioned by those advocating mandatory vaccination of children is that children’s health has declined significantly since 1960 when vaccines began to be widely used. According to the National Health Interview Survey conducted annually by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1957, a shocking 31% of U.S.  children today have a chronic health problem , 18% of children require special health care or related services and 6.7% of children have a significant disability due to a chronic physical or mental condition.  Respiratory allergies, asthma and learning disabilities are the most common of these. Three controlled studies comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated children in England and New Zealand have shown that the vaccinated children have significantly more asthma, ear infections, hospitalizations and inflammatory bowel disease than their unvaccinated cohorts.

Since vaccinations have a lasting effect on the immune system, and since it is known that many vaccines shift the balance of the immune system away from its acutely-reacting "Th1" side and toward its chronically-reacting "Th2" side , it is a very plausible scenario that vaccines are contributing greatly to the large-scale and unprecedented increase in chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, diabetes and a wide range of neurological dysfunctions including learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, seizures and autism in U.S.  children today.

The shocking facts that 31% of U.S.  children today suffer from a chronic condition and that the rate of disability from such chronic conditions in children has seen nearly a fourfold increase since 1960 ought to seriously challenge our medical research establishment. But, far from taking a proactive approach toward these disturbing facts, our medical establishment remains curiously uninterested in children’s chronic diseases and instead continues to pursue its narrow focus of using vaccines to eradicate every possible acute childhood illness, even those like hepatitis B and chicken pox which pose no threat to 99% of children.

The idea that illnesses exist in an ecological balance like everything else in nature and that eradicating acute diseases could very likely upset the balance and cause chronic disease to increase is not seriously considered or pursued in medical science today.  Whenever any evidence pointing in this direction is published, usually in the international medical literature, it is usually dismissed out of hand by American physicians or angrily repudiated with the implication that such research is "irresponsible" because it might cause the American public to lose trust in our vaccination program.

With such a total commitment of our medical community to a policy of universal vaccination, is it any wonder that new and potentially upsetting discoveries relating to the role of vaccinations in the alarming prevalence of chronic illness in our children are never seriously considered much less pursued? When the Institute of Medicine published its Federally mandated reports on vaccine safety in 1991 and 1994, their disturbing conclusion was that there is very little data on vaccine safety because the necessary research is simply not being done.

7.  Eugene Robin, M.D., Emeritus Professor of Medicine from Stanford Medical School is one of the world’s leading experts on risk/benefit analysis in medicine.  He authored the definitive book on the subject, Matters of Life and Death: Risks vs.  Benefits of Medical Care. In a statement at the First International Public Conference on Vaccination in September, 1997, Dr.  Robin said the following:

"…The scientists who develop vaccines should be given great credit and respect for their pioneering work. But it must be recognized that once a promising vaccine is available, that should be the beginning and not the end of the process.

Accurate assessment of the risk/benefit ratio of the vaccine by means of a … controlled clinical trial should be obligatory.  An educational process involving the public should be mandatory in which the risks and uncertainties are described as well as the potential benefits. So, what can we ‘teach’ the public if we ourselves, the medical scientific community, have not done the proper and required studies? A true process of informed choice would, for example, raise grave questions about the vaccination of young children for hepatitis B.

We must be honest and admit that we do not know the impact of administering multiple, different vaccines on very young children or, indeed, on anyone."

8.  My final comments are drawn from my 27 years of experience as a general practitioner of medicine. Twenty-three of those years were in a rural farming community in upstate New York where as many as 50% of my pediatric patients were unvaccinated due to their parents’ conscientious personal choice. When I started my practice I believed, as I had been taught in medical school, that the benefits of vaccinations outweighed the risks.  I also believed that the right of parental choice in vaccinations ought to be respected.

For 23 years I had the opportunity to observe my young patients grow from infancy to young adulthood and to appraise their overall health and vitality.  It was out of this experience that my present views took shape.  I observed that my unvaccinated children were healthier, hardier and more robust than their vaccinated peers.  Allergies, asthma and pallor and behavioral and attentional disturbances were clearly more common in my young patients who were vaccinated. My unvaccinated patients, on the other hand, did not suffer from infectious diseases with any greater frequency or severity than their vaccinated peers: their immune systems generally handled these challenges very well.

Conclusion Like all science, medicine has radically changed many of its views over time.  What seems wise and prudent today may be totally repudiated a decade or two later. Vaccinations are powerful medical tools which impact human immune systems to achieve the desired effect of preventing certain infectious disease manifestations.

In the early 1900’s when diphtheria and whooping cough were life-threatening, the uncritical acceptance and implementation of vaccination was understandable and perhaps unavoidable.  Today, when far more children suffer from allergies and other chronic immune system disorders than from life-threatening infectious diseases, it is neither reasonable nor prudent to persist in presuming that the benefit of any vaccination outweighs its risk.

When the medical scientific community makes a total and one-sided commitment to any public policy, no matter how noble its intentions, then vigorous debate and fact-finding tend to be neglected. The facts on hepatitis B brought out by Dr.  Severyn and by the special 16-page report of the National Vaccine Information Center deserve our very careful consideration.  They indicate that the risk of hepatitis B vaccination outweighs its benefit for the vast majority of American children today.

When these facts are ignored, and when vital medical research on the safety and adverse effects of hepatitis B vaccine is left undone, then the truth suffers, our children suffer and we all suffer.

Yours, Philip Incao, M.D.
 

Vaccines expert warns studies are useless
By Lorraine Fraser, Medical Correspondent
(Filed: 27/10/2002)

Most safety studies on childhood vaccines have not been conducted thoroughly enough to tell whether the jabs cause side effects, a leading authority on vaccine research has warned. Dr Thomas Jefferson, who has been funded to investigate vaccine safety by the European Commission, said that the issue was the "Cinderella" of public health research and that Government officials had failed to make it a high priority. Dr Jefferson is the head of the vaccine division of the Cochrane Collaboration, an organisation of scientists that aims to make accurate information about the effects of treatments available worldwide and promotes high standards in research.

He is also a board member of the European Programme for Improved Vaccine Safety Surveillance, set up by the commission. He said: "There is some good research, but it is overwhelmed by the bad. The public has been let down because the proper studies have not been done." His outspoken and unprecedented comments will anger public health officials in Britain and elsewhere, who fear that any discussion will undermine parents' confidence in national vaccination programmes.

Officials at the Department of Health are already alarmed by the number of parents shunning the triple measles, mumps and rubella jab (MMR) after claims that it is linked with autism and bowel disease. Although Dr Jefferson emphasised that there was no evidence to suggest that any vaccine now in use was dangerous, he said that there was a "dearth" of sound studies on the risks and benefits.

As a result, the information available on the safety of vaccines that are routinely given to babies and toddlers was "simply inadequate". Dr Jefferson also disclosed plans for a Europe-wide electronic register of children's vaccine exposure that would allow scientists to investigate the risks and benefits of inoculations using data on thousands of participants. Pilot schemes will start soon in Sweden and Finland.

"We need such a system urgently," he said. "Governments are reluctant to accept this but in my view they owe it to future generations to back this idea." He was especially concerned, he said, because future vaccination programmes were likely to involve giving children "five, six, even seven vaccines all at once". A vaccine designed to protect children against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox in one shot is already under development. "For people like me, it is becoming more and more difficult to tease out what problems may be due to an individual vaccine," said Dr Jefferson. "It is almost becoming impossible to do this. We have to think very carefully about how we will monitor these vaccines.

"We have a responsibility to these children - they are our future. It is no use having a situation where someone suggests a possible harm and everyone runs around frantically trying to find bits of evidence. What is required is good-quality information that has been systematically collated and assessed."

 

Vaccination *Info Seminar*
Tuesday - Nov. 26th
The Politics of Vaccination:Walking the Wire to Freedom

Before you have your child or yourself injected with vaccines shouldn't you know the truth about them?

Did you know.?

- That, as of 2001, your child has had 26 vaccines injected into their blood stream by 18 months of age? - That by 16 years of age they have had a total of 40? - That at least 10,000 American babies mysteriously die each year for "unknown reasons" and are classified as Sudden Infant Death syndrome (SIDS)? - That before mass vaccinations, the term SIDS didn't exist? - That the rate of Autism grew with the initiation of mandatory MMR and DPT shots? - That besides Autism and SIDS other neurological disorders skyrocketed with the increase in mass, mandatory vaccinations, such as hyperactivity and learning disabilities (ADD/ADHD), mental retardation, encephalitis, Guillian Barre' syndrome (as per Dr Harris Coulter)? - That the only cases of polio in this country over the past 3 decades has been due to the polio vaccine? - That the drug companies are 'immune' from prosecution, by federal law? - That even though a reporting system is in place, less than 10% of actual ill effects are reported? - That any compensation for adverse reactions to vaccines are borne by the taxpayers? - That for most children the risk of a serious vaccine reaction to the Hepatitis B vaccine may be 100 times greater than the risk of the disease (Jane Orient, MD)? - That one shot of the Hepatitis B vaccine has 30 times the amount of mercury as is considered safe by the EPA? - That Hepatitis B is a disease of drug addicts and those who engage in promiscuous sex, and yet they inject it in newborns at birth?- That you can HAVE a choice to refuse mandatory vaccines?
- That they are currently trying to take away your rights to refuse?

If any of the above is unknown to you I urge you to attend this years vaccination seminar. This is a video presentation by Barbara Loe Fisher, one of the founders of NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) and a mother of a vaccine damaged child.

If you don't know all of the facts you can't make an informed consent. It's time to learn and it's time to protect our Freedom of Choice.

Time may be running out.

If you wish to attend you must pre-register due to limited seating.(on a first come basis)

Place: The office of Dr John Mannion
Date/Time: Tuesday - Nov. 26th @ 6:00 PM SHARP
Fee: ONE new toy, which will be donated to the Needy Children Information will be handed out to those who pre-register at least one week before the seminar including info on how you can become a member of the NVIC.

If you wish more information or if you wish to register please E mail me or call the office.

(If you wish packets of information concerning vaccinations that have been compiled over the last 3 years (or so) you can pick them up in the office waiting room. Hopefully this year's packet will be ready for you by this seminar. If not all those who attend will have one mailed out to them once they are completed.)

 

"My own personal view is that vaccines are unsafe and worthless. I will not allow myself to be vaccinated again. .....The bottom line is that infectious diseases are least likely to affect (and to kill) those who have healthy immune systems. I no longer believe that vaccines have any role to play in the protection of the community or the individual. Vaccines may be profitable but, in my view, they are neither safe nor effective. I prefer to put my trust in building up my immune system."-

--Dr Vernon Coleman
 

Her testimony before house of reps....
April 6, 2000

Mr. Chairman, Honorable Dan Burton and members of the committee;

My name is Mary Norfleet Megson. I am a board-certified pediatrician, Fellowship trained in Child Development, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Medical College of Virginia. I have practiced pediatrics for twenty-two years, the last fifteen years seeing only children with Developmental Disabilities, which include learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and autism.

In 1978, I learned as a resident at Boston Floating Hospital that the incidence of autism was one in 10,000 children. Over the last ten years I have watched the incidence of autism skyrocket to 1/300-1/600 children.1 Over the last nine months, I have treated over 1,200 children in my office. Ninety percent of these children are autistic and from the Richmond area alone. The State Department of Education reports that there are only 1522 autistic students in the state of Virginia.

MHMR agencies have created local infant intervention programs, and have had a hard time keeping up with the numbers of delayed infants and toddlers. I have served as advisor to the City of Richmond and the surrounding counties as they have established entire programs for autistic children that fill multiple classes in several schools in each district. The segment of children with "regressive autism," the form where children develop normally for a period of time then lose skills and sink into autism most commonly at 18-24 months of age, is increasing at a phenomenal rate. I am seeing multiple children in the same family affected, including in the last week four cases of "autistic regression" developing in four-year-old children after their MMR and DPT vaccination. In the past, this was unheard of.

In the vast majority of these cases, one parent reports night blindness2 or other rarer disorders which are caused by a genetic defect in a G protein,3 where they join cell membrane receptors, which are activated by retinoids, neurotransmitters, hormones, secretin and other protein messengers. G proteins are cellular proteins that upgrade or downgrade signals in sensory organs that regulate touch, taste, smell, hearing and vision. They are found all over the body, in high concentration in the gut and the brain:4 and turn on or off multiple metabolic pathways including those for glucose, lipid, protein metabolism5 and cell growth and survival.6 Close to the age of "autistic regression," we add pertussis toxin, which completely disrupts G Alpha signals.7 The opposite G proteins are on without inhibition leading to:8

1. Glycogen breakdown or gluconeogenesis. Many of these children have elevated blood sugars. There is sixty-eight percent incidence of diabetes in parents and grandparents of these children.
2. Lipid breakdown which increases blood fats that lead to hyperlipidemia. One-third of families has either a parent or grandparent who died from myocardial infarction at less than 55 years of age and was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia.
3. Cell growth differentiation and survival which leads to uncontrolled cell growth. There are 62 cases of malignancies associated with ras-oncogene in 60 families of these autistic children.9 The measles antibody cross reacts with intermediate filaments which are the glue that hold cells together in the gut wall.10 The loss of cell to cell connection interrupts aproptosis or the ability of neighboring cells to kill off abnormal cells. The MMR vaccine at 15 months precedes the DPT at 18 months, which turns on uncontrolled cell growth differentiation and survival.

Most families report cancer in the parents or grandparents, the most common being colon cancer.10The genetic defect, found in 30-50% of adult cancers, is a cancer gene (ras-oncogene). It is the same defect as that for congenital stationary night blindness.11

G protein defects cause severe loss of rod function in most autistic children.12 They lose night vision, and light to dark shading on objects in the daylight. They sink into a "magic eye puzzle," seeing only color and shape in all of their visual field, except for a "box" in the middle, the only place they get the impression of the three dimensional nature of objects. Only when they look at television or a computer do they predictably hear the right language for what they see. They try to make sense of the world around them by lining up toys, sorting by color. They have to "see" objects by adding boxes together, thus "thinking in pictures." Their avoidance of eye contact is an attempt to get light to land off center in the retina where they have some rod function. Suddenly mothers touch feels like sandpaper on their skin. Common sounds become like nails scraped on a blackboard. We think they cannot abstract, but we are sinking these children into an abstract painting at 18 months of age and they are left trying to figure out if the language they are hearing is connected to what they are looking at, at the same time.

The defect for congenital stationary night blindness on the short arm of the X chromosome affects cell membrane calcium channels13 which, if not functioning, block NMDA/glutamate receptors in the hippocampus,14 where pathways connect the left and right brain with the frontal lobe. Margaret Bauman has described a lack of cell growth and differentiation in the hippocampus seen on autopsy in autistic children.15 The frontal lobe is the seat of attention, inhibition of impulse, social judgment and all executive function.

When stimulated, these NMDA receptors, through G proteins stimulate nuclear Vitamin A receptors discovered by Ron Evans, et al Dec 1998.16 When blocked, in the animal model, mice are unable to learn and remember changes in their environment. They act as if they have significant visual perceptual problems and have spatial learning deficits.17

Of concern the Hepatitis B virus protein sequence was originally isolated in the gene for a similar retinoid receptor (RAR beta),18 which is the critical receptor important for brain plasticity and retinoid signaling in the hippocampus.19 After the mercury is removed, I understand we will restart Hepatitis B vaccine at day one of life. Studies need to be done to determine if this plays an additive roll in the marked increase in autism.

I am using natural lipid soluble concentrated cis form of Vitamin A in cod liver oil to bypass blocked G protein pathways and turn on these central retinoid receptors. In a few days, most of these children regain eye contact and some say their "box" of clear vision grows. After two months on Vitamin A treatment some of these children, when given a single dose of bethanechol to stimulate pathways in the parasympathetic system in the gut, focus, laugh, concentrate, show a sense of humor, and talk after 30 minutes as if reconnected.20

This improves cognition, but they are still physically ill. When these children get the MMR vaccine, their Vitamin A stores are depleted; they can not compensate for blocked pathways. Lack of Vitamin A which has been called "the anti-infective agent," leaves them immuno-suppressed. They lack cell-mediated immunity. T cell activation, important for long term immune memory, requires 14-hydroxy retro-retinol. On cod liver oil, the only natural source of this natural substance, the children get well. The parasympathetic nervous system is blocked by the second G protein defect. These children are unable to relax, focus and digest their food. Instead, they are in sympathetic overdrive with a constant outpouring of adrenaline and stress hormones. They are anxious, pace, have dilated pupils, high blood pressure and heart rate. These and other symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are part of this constant "fright or flight" response. These symptoms improve on bethanechol.

I live in a small middle class neighborhood with twenty-three houses. I recently counted thirty children who live in this community who are on medication for ADHD. One week ago, my oldest son who is gifted but dyslexic had twelve neighborhood friends over for dinner. As I looked around the table, all of these children, but one had dilated pupils. After two and one half months of taking vitamin A and D in cod liver oil, my son announced, "I can read now. The letters don’t jump around on the page anymore." He is able to focus and his handwriting has improved dramatically. In his high school for college bound dyslexic students, 68 of 70 teenagers report seeing headlights with starbursts, a symptom of congenital stationary night blindness.

I think we are staring a disaster in the face that has affected thousands of Americans. The children with autism or dyslexia/ADHD are lucky. There are many other children not identified, just disconnected. We must direct all of our resources and efforts to establish multidisciplinary centers to treat these children. Insurance companies should pay for evaluations, both medical and psychiatric, and treatment. These children are physically ill, immuno-suppressed with a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting multiple organ systems. Funding to look at etiology of autism, to identify children at risk prior to "autistic regression," and to prevent this disorder is imperative. Implementing vaccine policies that are safe for all children should become our first priority.

Mothers from all over the country have brought pictures of their autistic children to Washington this weekend. Most of these children were born normal and lost to "autistic regression." Look into their eyes and you will hear their silence.

Thank you

To Pampers:  In reference to your article "More Good News About Vaccines" in your last E-Newsletter: Loraine Stern, M.D. does not know her facts.  Thimerosal was not finally removed from newborn Hep B vaccines until the end of 200l, and is still in many of the boosters and other childhood vaccines.  Parents report that some pediatricians are even still using up their supplies of thimerosal-laden vaccines. Many of the children that may have been poisoned by thimerosal in their newborn vaccines will not even be diagnosed for a year or more, as mercury is a slow neurotoxin and the effects do not show up for a long time.  This, of course, is why there has not yet been a decline in the number of diagnoses of autistic disorders, nor is this decline likely to be apparent for a few more years, as many children do not actually get diagnosed until they are in school.  The thimerosal study that revealed no  "connection between vaccines and autism" was flawed and has been shown to be so by respected  research analysts. This study was done by researchers paid by companies that make vaccines.  Vaccine reform will not take place until ignorant physicians like Dr. Stern take the trouble to read the studies and understand the dynamics of mercury, an extremely insidious neurotoxin that damages the brain and gut and immune system to the point that when a triple live vaccine like measles is administered, the susceptible child's immune system is unable to cope and the child develops a full blown autoimmune disease called autism spectrum disorder.  Mercury is toxic to neurons, and as it is excreted through the stool damages the gut, which makes up 70% of the immune system; susceptible children can start getting 4-15 or more ear and other infections in their first year of life and then given multiple gut and immune system-damaging antibiotics.  It took a lot of us a long time to realize that these children had been injured at birth for lifetime disability with a vaccine that extremely few newborns need (only those with mothers with AIDS or hepatitis).

 I treat autism spectrum disorder children, many of whom are still in diapers, and am the author of "Children with Starving Brains", a medical treatment guide for autistic chidren.  I am on e-list boards with thousands of parents of these vaccine-damaged children; many parents are enraged at Proctor and Gamble and have already said they will never buy your products again.  I will be endorsing their boycott of Pampers to all my listmembers until you inform yourselves of what is really going on with the current epidemic of autism.  Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D.

 

From Arnold Gore:

Hi Activists & Consumers,
I recently received the message below from Dr.Jennifer Daniels,MD. Dr.Daniels was the Green party candidate for liutenant governor in New York State in 2002.She is one of the alternative medical doctors who has had her license suspended and is searching for an employnent opportunity using her excellent, medical. business and political training and experience.

In her letter Dr.Daniels does not specifically mention that the case leading to the investigation was the SUCCESSFUL treatment of a patient with diabetes using only diet and exercise. In August of 2001, Health & Human Services Secretary Thompson held a major press conference to announce the results of a very large study demonstrating that DIET & EXERCISE was MORE effective than drug therapy and he wanted to get this information out to ALL those practicing doctors.  

If you know of an employment opportunity for this versatile hard working doctor please contact me or her at jenniferdaniels@twcny.rr.com

To whom it may concern:

I am an African American graduate of Harvard University (Cum Laude), University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Wharton Business School. I was Board Certified in Family Practice, a member in good standing of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Practice and The American Medical Women's Association. I returned to my hometown of Syracuse with this fine education and was unable to find employment. I purchased a city block and built a medical office. Soon after I opened my medical office, I realized that the insurance companies would not pay me. I then asked the patients to pay me, and they did. In exchange, I saw them on time, researched their problems, informed them of options, and gave a $1,000 annual scholarship to assist kids in the neighborhood with college expenses. In 10 years of medical practice, I received numerous commendations; even one from Governor Pataki himself. There were no malpractice cases or complaints in those 10 years.


In 1999, the Health Department began an investigation and requested a patient's records. I gave them the records. They then said that they wanted to see the records of the 4,000 patients who had seen me over the prior 10 years because this case represented a pattern of inappropriate practice. I refused the search because it was not a pattern, only 1 case. The Health Department then changed the reason to one case of negligence or incompetence. I refused because the therapy was effective, therefore this case could not be a case of negligence or incompetence. The Health Department then changed the charges to NON-cooperation because I refused to allow them to see the charts of 4,000 patients unrelated to the initial case. I have retained numerous attorneys. The State threatened one of my attorneys and told her that they would investigate her and fine her or remove her license if she filed any legal action on my behalf. She resigned. Photographs and an eyewitness affidavit then became available indicating that the complaint was false. I was subjected to a one-day hearing and allowed no witnesses. A copy of the patient chart as well as the evidence that the complaint was false was excluded from the hearing. I was convicted of non-cooperation. The penalty by law is a letter of warning. I received a license suspension. A suspension by law should be finite. Mine is forever. The law states that the Health Department has no jurisdiction to investigate therapy that is effective; I was investigated anyway. Case law says the State may not use a false complaint as a basis for an investigation. The complaint is false, yet I was investigated. The prosecutor in my case, with the cooperation of the judge, suppressed exculpatory evidence. This is prosecutorial misconduct.


Here I am, a 45-year-old single, unemployed mother of three children aged 9,12,and 15. If I had been a teenage mother, the children would be grown by now and I would be better off. Instead, I borrowed money and spent 14 years of my youth getting an education only to practice medicine for 10 years and have my license suspended without cause.  My license was suspended 18 months ago and I was the last African American Solo Family Practice Physician in Onondaga County. My medical practice was located in a medically underserved ghetto. The medical practice received no government grants, no Medicaid and no Medicare. I paid real estate taxes of $10,000 a year, state taxes of $17,000 and federal taxes of $57,000. Now I pay no taxes and tax dollars are being spent to keep it that way.

If this situation cannot be resolved promptly, there is an obligation to inform our youth that borrowing for an education is the path to a lifetime of indentured servitude with no economic means to repay the debt.  I know you cannot solve the problems of the world. Just start by restoring my license and letting my kids eat. If you cannot restore my license, help me find a job. This matter is urgent.

I can be reached at the address above.

As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition, herbal medicine and other forms of natural medicine unless you are fortunate enough to have a naturopathic physician available. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone. Vaccines are highly dangerous, have never been adequately studied or proven to be effective, and have a poor risk/reward ratio. Most surgery is unnecessary and most textbooks of medicine are inaccurate and deceptive. Almost every disease is said to be idiopathic (without known cause) or genetic - although this is untrue. In short, our main stream medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. The treatment of cancer and degenerative diseases is a national scandal. The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be. A.Greenberg, M.D. dralan@jetblast.net
 

Vexing Over Vaccines

Are Vaccines Causing More Disease Than They Are Curing? Copyright 1999 by Alan
Cantwell, Jr., M.D.

Vaccines help keep us safe from infectious diseases. Smallpox and polio epidemics have been wiped out by mass vaccine programs. People rush to get flu shots  every fall,   and kids are bombarded with a barrage of 22 required vaccinations before the age of six. Even pets need their shots. The manufacture of vaccines  is a giant industry and what you pay for inoculations and  doctor visits is big business for pediatricians, family practitioners  and veterinarians. So why are  more and more people worried about vaccines, especially the ones for kids?

Vaccine-induced Illness

    Barbara Loe Fisher, president  of the National Vaccine Information Center, a consumer's group based in Vienna, Virginia, claims vaccines are responsible for   the increasing numbers of children and adults who suffer  from immune system and neurologic disorders, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and seizure disorders. She calls for studies to monitor the long-term effects of mass vaccination  and Fisher wants physicians to be absolutely sure these vaccines are safe and not harming people.    No one can deny the  dangers of vaccines. The measles, mumps, rubella (German measles)  and polio vaccines, all contain live but weakened viruses. Although  health officials tell you that polio has been wiped out in the U.S. since 1979, they often fail to mention  that all  recorded cases of polio since that time are actually caused by the polio vaccine.     Vaccine investigator Neil Z. Miller questions whether we still need need the polio vaccine when it causes every new case of polio in this country. Before mass vaccinations programs began fifty years ago,  Miller insists we didn't have cancer in epidemic numbers, that autoimmune ailments were barely known, and childhood autism did  not exist.

Vaccine Contamination

    There is also the problem of contamination that has always plagued vaccine makers. During World War II  a yellow fever vaccine manufactured with human blood serum was unknowingly contaminated with hepatitis virus and given to the military. As a result, more than 50,000 cases of serum hepatitis broke out among American troops injected with the vaccine.  In the 1960s it was discovered that polio vaccines manufactured in monkey kidney tissue between 1955 and 1963 were contaminated with a monkey virus (Simian Virus, number 40). Although this virus causes cancer in experimental animals,  health authorities insist it does not cause problems in humans. But evidence of SV40 genetic  material has been popping up  in human cancers and  normal tissue. Researchers are now connecting SV40-contaminated  polio vaccines  to an increasing number of rare cancers of the lung (mesothelioma)  and bone marrow (multiple myeloma). In a  1999 report,  SV40 DNA was detected in tissue samples from  four children born after 1982. Three were kidney transplant patients, and a fourth had a kidney tumor. Could SV40 be passed on from parents to their children? No one knows for sure.

Covert Vaccine Experiments

    Using kids as guinea pigs in potentially harmful vaccine experiments is every parents' worst nightmare. This actually happened in 1989-1991 when Kaiser Permanente of Southern California and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) jointly conducted a measles vaccine experiment. Without proper parental disclosure,  the Yugoslavian-made "high titre" Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine was tested on 1,500 poor, primarily black and Latino,  inner city  children in Los Angeles. Highly recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO),  the high-potency experimental vaccine was previously injected into infants in Mexico, Haiti, and Africa. It was discontinued in these countries when it was discovered that the children were dying in large numbers.

    Unbelievably, the measles vaccine caused long-term suppression of the children's immune system for six months up to three years. As a result, the immunodepressed children died from other diseases in greater numbers than children who had never received the vaccine. Tragically, African girl babies in the experiment were given twice the dose of boys, and therefore suffered a higher death rate. The WHO  pulled the vaccine off the market  in 1992. Ironically, the E-Z measles  vaccine tested by Kaiser on minority babies was supposed to increase immunity in younger infants. Instead, the vaccine produced the opposite effect. A Los Angeles Times  editorial (June 20, 1996) assured readers   that "none of the 1,500 was injured by the unlicensed vaccine" and called upon the CDC to ensure that experiments like the E-Z  measles vaccine could  never occur again.   One wonders how many secret vaccine experiments are conducted by health authorities that never come to the attention of the public.  During the two-year measles  experiment I was employed by Kaiser and I never knew anything about it until I read  the report in The Times  five years later, in 1996.

 In the poor  inner cities across the country  the number of asthma cases is exploding and health officials don't know why. According to the CDC, 5000 asthma deaths occur annually;  and it is estimated that 17.3 million people (4.8 are children) suffer from the disease, up from 6.7 million in 1980. Asthma usually begins before age 6, and blacks are two to three times more likely to die from asthma than whites. In the Bronx and Harlem sections of New York City, the hospitalization rate for asthma is 21 times higher than in the more affluent areas of the city.

 Could the sharp rise in asthma in poor children  be connected with immunosuppression caused by by a barrage of vaccines, as well as a lack of quality medical care and insurance, poor diet,  and environmental factors?  The possible connection of immunosuppressive vaccines to diseases like asthma has never been raised by health officials .

 With vaccine experiments frequently performed in Africa and now on black Americans,  no wonder  one out  of every four African-Americans believes AIDS was developed as a genocide program by the U.S. government to exterminate the black population. But vaccine experiments in the 1990s have not been  limited to blacks. Millions of female Mexicans, Nicaraguans and Filipinos have been duped into taking tetanus vaccines, some of which contained a female hormone  that could cause miscarriage and sterilization.  In 1995, a Catholic human rights organization called Human Life International accused the WHO of promoting a Canadian-made  tetanus vaccine laced with a pregnancy hormone called human choriogonadotropic hormone (HCG). Suspicions were aroused when the tetanus vaccine was prescribed in the unusual dose of five multiple  injections over a three month period, and recommended only to women of reproductive age. When an unusual number of  women experienced vaginal bleeding and miscarriages after the shots, a  hormone additive was uncovered as the cause.

     Apparently the WHO has been developing and testing anti-fertility vaccines  for over two decades. Women receiving the laced tetanus shot not only developed antibodies to tetanus, but they also developed dangerous antibodies to the pregnancy hormone as well. Without this HCG hormone the growth of the fetus is impaired. Consequently, the laced vaccine served as a covert contraceptive device. Commissioned to analyze the vaccine, the Philippines Medical Association  found that  20 percent of the WHO  tetanus vaccines were contaminated with the hormone. Not surprisingly, the WHO has denied all accusations as "completely false and without basis," and the major media have never reported on  the controversy. For further details on this issue, consult the Human Life International website

(http://www.hli.org/).

Newly approved vaccines may also pose serious risks. In October 1999 a vaccine against "rotavirus" infection (which causes most cases of childhood diarrhea) was pulled off the market. One year after the RotaShield vaccine was inoculated into over a million infants, it was found to increase the risk of bowel obstruction. Almost 100 cases of bowel obstruction were  reported to the government, and twenty infants developed bowel obstructions within one or two weeks after receiving the vaccine.

Vaccine Manufacture and Associated Dangers

Although the public has heard about side effects of vaccines, most people are clueless about the manufacture of vaccines. Few people know that viruses used in vaccine production need to be grown on animal parts like monkey kidneys, or in chicken embryos, or in human and fetal "cell lines." Harvesting viruses in human cell-lines can be perilous because some human cell lines are derived from cancer cells.

 In AIDS & The Doctors of Death I wrote about the development of the first human "HeLa" cell line - an "immortal" cell line used extensively in cancer and vaccine research for decades. Henrietta Lacks was a young black woman from Baltimore who died from a highly malignant cervical cancer in 1951. Small pieces of her tumor were donated to a laboratory specializing in tissue cell culture. In those days most attempts to grow human cells outside the body failed. But for some unknown reason Henrietta's cancer cells grew vigorously and became known as the first successful human tissue cell line in history - the now famous HeLa cell line commemorating the legendary HEnrietta LAcks.

Henrietta's cells were kept alive by feeding them a witches' brew of beef embryo extract (the ground-up remains of a three-week-old, unborn cattle embryo); fresh chicken plasma obtained from the blood of a live chicken heart; and blood from human placentas (the placenta is the sac that nurtures the developing fetus and contains powerful hormones). It is now suspected that a sexually-transmitted papilloma virus is the cause of cervical cancer. And it is anybody's guess how many other chicken, cattle, and human viruses are incorporated into the HeLa cell line, but none of this possible viral contamination seems to bother scientists who have extensively used the cells in cancer research. What laboratory scientists did eventually discover was that HeLa cells proved so hardy that they frequently contaminated other tissue cell lines used in cancer and cancer virus research.

In the late 1960s when widespread HeLa cell contamination problems were uncovered, scientists were shocked and embarrassed to learn that millions of dollars worth of published cancer experiments were ruined. "Liver cells" and "monkey cells" that were used in cancer experiments turned out to be Henrietta's cancer cells in disguise. Benign cells which supposedly "spontaneously transformed" into malignant cells were found to be cells contaminated with cancerous HeLa cells.

The serious problem of HeLa cell contamination in cancer and vaccine research is revealed in Michael Gold's A Conspiracy of Cells: One Woman's Immortal Legacy and the Medical Scandal It Caused. Even Jonas Salk, who developed the legendary Salk polio vaccine, was fooled when HeLa cells contaminated his animal cell lines. He admitted this years later in 1978 before a stunned audience of cell biologists and vaccine makers. In experiments performed in the late 1950s on dying cancer patients, Salk tried injecting them with a cell line of monkey heart tissue - the same cell line he used to harvest polio virus for his famous vaccine. He hoped the monkey cell injections would stimulate the immune system to fight cancer. However, when abscesses developed at the site of injections Salk began to suspect that he might be injecting HeLa cells rather than monkey cells, and he stopped the experiment.

Mark Nelson-Rees, a HeLa cell expert and one of the 1978 conference attendees, offered to test Salk's line if it was still available. Salk graciously agreed and the monkey cells indeed proved to be HeLa cells which had invaded and taken over the monkey cell line. According to author Gold, Salk thought there were adequate ways to separate viruses from the tissue cell lines they were harvested in, so that it really didn't matter what kind of cells were used. Even if vaccines weren't filtered, and even if whole cancer cells were injected directly into a human, Salk believed they would be rejected by the body and cause no harm. In those days doctors didn't much believe in cancer-causing viruses. Nowadays, no researcher would dare try injecting cancer cells into a human being. But in the 1950s Salk had done it accidentally. He had injected HeLa cells into a few dozen patients and it hadn't bothered him a bit.

Is There a Vaccine Contamination Connection to AIDS?

Most people assume vaccines are "sterile" and germ free. But sterilizing a vaccine can destroy the necessary immunizing protein that makes it work. Thus, contaminating viruses or viral "particles" can sometime survive the vaccine process. Animal viruses are also contained in fetal calf serum, a blood product commonly used as a laboratory nutrient to feed various tissue cell cultures. Vaccine contamination by fetal calf serum and its possible relationship to HIV was the subject of a letter by J. Grote, published in the Journal of the Royal (London) Society of Medicine in October 1988. Bovine visna virus (which looks similar to HIV) is a known contaminant of fetal calf serum used in vaccine production and virus-like particles have been detected in vaccines certified for clinical use. Grote warns that "It seems absolutely vital that all vaccines are screened for HIV prior to use, and that bovine visna virus is further investigated as to its relationship to HIV and its possible role in progression towards AIDS ."

Could virus-contaminated vaccines lie at the root of AIDS? A few researchers, including myself, who believe HIV was "introduced" into gays during the experimental hepatitis B vaccine trails when thousands of homosexuals were injected in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, during the years 1978-1981. The AIDS epidemic first erupted in gays living in those cities in 1981. In 1980, one year before, already 20% of the gays inoculated in Manhattan with the experimental vaccine were already HIV-positive. This was several years before definite AIDS cases were diagnosed in Africa. In the early 1970s the hepatitis B vaccine was developed in chimpanzees, now wildly accepted as the animal from which HIV supposedly evolved. Hepatitis B vaccine was developed to protect people from the sexual spread of the hepatitis B virus. Now the government recommends that all newborn babies be given the vaccine. Such recommendations do not make sense to many parents. And people are still fearful of the hepatitis B vaccine because of its original connection to gay men and AIDS. The original experimental vaccine was made from the pooled blood serum of hepatitis-infected homosexuals and, as mentioned, serum-based vaccines cannot be sterilized.

Another theory of AIDS is that HIV originated from polio vaccines contaminated with chimp and monkey viruses, and administered to Africans in the late 1950s. In The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS , published in 1999, Edward Hooper details how polio vaccine was made using monkey (and possibly chimp) kidneys and how the ancestor virus of HIV  could have jumped species (via the vaccine) to produce the outbreak of AIDS in Africa. Hooper's well-researched book greatly expands the polio vaccine theory of AIDS first reportedly Tom Curtis in Rolling Stone magazine in 1992, and The River is a must-read for anyone interested in the possibleman-made origin of AIDS.
