Vaccination does not stay the spread of smallpox, nor even modify it in those who get it after vaccination. It does introduce in the system contamination and, therefore, contributes to the spread of tuberculosis, cancer, and even leprosy. It tends to make more virulent epidemics and to make them more extensive.
—Dr. Walter M. James, Philadelphia practitioner
I have studied the question of vaccination conscientiously for 45 years. As for vaccination as a preventative of disease, there is not a scrap of evidence in its favor. The injection of virus into the pure bloodstream of the people does not prevent smallpox; rather, it tends to increase its epidemics and it makes the disease more deadly.
—Dr. Charles E. Page, Boston practitioner
Cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I have had to do with 200 cases of cancer and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person.
-Dr. W. B. Clark, New York practitioner
Abolish vaccination and you will cut the cancer death rate in half.
—Dr. F. P. Millard, Toronto practitioner
I am convinced that the increase of cancer is due to vaccination.
—Dr. F. Laurie, Medical Director of the Metropolitan Cancer Hospital, London
It is my firm conviction that vaccination has been a curse instead of a blessing to the race. Every physician knows that cutaneous diseases (including cancer) have increased in frequency, severity, and variety to an alarming extent. To no medium of transmission is the widespread dissemination of this class of diseases so largely related as to vaccination.
—B. F. Cornell, M.D., practitioner
I have removed cancer from vaccinated arms exactly where the poison was injected.
—Dr. E. J. Post, Michigan practitioner
I have no hesitation in stating that in my judgment the most frequent disposing condition for cancerous development is infused into the blood by vaccination and re-vaccination.
—Dr. Dennis Turnbull, 30 year cancer researcher.
Never in the history of medicine has there been produced so false a theory, and such fraudulent assumptions, such disastrous and damning results as have followed the practice of vaccination; it is the ultima Thule of learned quackery, and lacks, and has ever lacked, the faintest shadow of scientific basis. The fears of the people have been played upon as to the dangers of smallpox, and the promise of sure prevention by vaccination, until nearly the whole civilized world has become physically corrupted by its practice.
—Dr. E. Ripley, Connecticut practitioner
Vaccination is the infusion of contaminating elements into the system, and after such contamination you can never be sure of regaining the former purity of the body. Consumption (tuberculosis) follows in the wake of vaccination just as surely as effect follows cause.
—Dr. Alex Wilder, professor of pathology, Medical College of New York
How is it that smallpox is five time as likely to be fatal in the vaccinated as unvaccinated (referring to data published in the British Medical Journal, January 14th, 1928)? How is it that, as the number of people vaccinated has steadily fallen, the number of people attacked with variola has declined and the case mortality has progressively lessened? The years of least vaccination have been the years of least smallpox and least mortality. These are just a few points in connection with the subject which are puzzling me, and to which I want answers.
—Dr. L. A. Parry
I now have very little faith in vaccination, even as to modifying the disease, and none at all as a protective in virulent epidemics. Personally, I contracted smallpox less than six months after a most severe vaccination.
—Dr. R. Hall Bakewell, Vaccinator General of Trinidad
I believed that vaccination prevented smallpox...and I believed that re-vaccination, if only frequently enough, gave absolute immunity. Experience has driven all that out of my head.
—Dr. J. C. Ward, Royal College of Surgeons, England
After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases of smallpox, I am compelled to admit that my belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyed.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
PART 4
Many studies were conducted that confirmed that the smallpox was actually dangerous and largely ineffective. In 1915, the U.S. Department of Agriculture linked several foot-and-mouth disease epidemics to the smallpox vaccine. [U.S. Department of Agriculture.Farmer's Bulletin (April 22, 1915):15]
In the mid-1920's, Great Britain authorized the Andrews and then the Rolleston Committee to study post-vaccinal encephalitis and deaths resulting from the smallpox vaccination.
Among the “damaging” results from these reports were that young adults vaccinated against smallpox were five times more likely to die from the disease than the un-vaccinated! It's no wonder that many respectable institutions were beginning to question Jenner and his legacy.
In September 1926, Lancet published data confirming seven cases of encephalomyelitis following smallpox vaccinations. The authors, Turnbull and McIntosh, declared: “There can be no doubt that vaccination was a definite causal factor.”
The next month Lancet reported on 35 cases of encephalitis, including 15 deaths. The authors concluded:
“Vaccination was a definite causal factor and no chance coincidence.”
In 1928, the League of Nations issued a report that noted, “The post-vaccinal encephalitis with which we are dealing has become a problem in itself...Their occurrence has led to the realization that a new, or at least a previously unsuspected or unrecognized, risk attaches to the practice of vaccination.”
Later that year, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on several fatal reactions among children following smallpox vaccination. They were described as having “encephalitic symptoms.” [J of the American Medical Association (April 5, 1930)]
In December of 1952, Lancet published a study documenting the reaction of a woman who was three months pregnant to the vaccine: “She developed a severe primary reaction and three months later she was spontaneously delivered of a feeble hydropic premature infant covered with a very severe generalized vaccinia. The child died 18 hours later.”
Another study determined that 47% of women who were vaccinated during their first trimester failed to give birth to a normal child. [McBean, E., pg. 82.]
These statements come from multiple sources, including:
Miller, H. et al. “Multiple sclerosis and vaccination.” British Medical Journal (April 22, 1967): 210-213.
Neff, JM., et al. “Complications of smallpox vaccination, United States, 1963.” Pediatrics 1967;39:916-923.
Lane, MJ. “Complications of smallpox vaccination” New England Journal of Medicine 1968;281 (22):1201-08.
Spillane, JD., et al. “The neurology of Jennerian vaccination—a clinical account of the neurological complications which occurred during the smallpox epidemic in South Wales in 1962.”
Dick, GWA. “Scientific Proceedings; Symposium on Virus Diseases. 13th Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, Belfast.”British Medical Journal, 1962;2:319.

In the mid-1920's, Great Britain authorized the Andrews and then the Rolleston Committee to study post-vaccinal encephalitis and deaths resulting from the smallpox vaccination.
The contents of this Report were of so damaging a character that it was deemed advisable to withhold it from publication. In this (the Rolleston) Report ninety-three cases of post-vaccinal encephalitis with fifty-one deaths are stated to have occurred between Nov., 1922, and Sept., 1927, and in a subsequent Report (Cmd. 3738), covering the three following years, there are recorded a further ninety cases with forty-two deaths.
Among the “damaging” results from these reports were that young adults vaccinated against smallpox were five times more likely to die from the disease than the un-vaccinated! It's no wonder that many respectable institutions were beginning to question Jenner and his legacy.
The indisposition of the authorities to admit any awkward facts telling against vaccination is a feature in the history of Jennerism. Thus, until 1911 it was the practice to tabulate deaths following vaccination under the heading—“Cowpox and other Effects of Vaccination.”
At the date referred to a new heading, “Vaccinia,” was introduced...five deaths, all of infants, which would in former years have been assigned to the effects of vaccination, appear under the respective headings of erysipelas, pyaemia, septicaemia, convulsions, and phlegmon.
Possibly the Registrar-General could offer some reason for altering the practice of thirty years, but the effect, none the less, is to exonerate vaccination by attributing death to secondary causes instead of to the primary cause—vaccination.
In May 1926, the New York State Journal of Medicine reported on several cases of encephalitis and meningitis that developed shortly after smallpox vaccinations.
In July of that year, the Journal of American Medical Association [found correlations](It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccination and the encephalitis which follows it.) between smallpox vaccinations and nervous disturbances. The authors noted: “In regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is rare. It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccination and the encephalitis which follows it.”
In September 1926, Lancet published data confirming seven cases of encephalomyelitis following smallpox vaccinations. The authors, Turnbull and McIntosh, declared: “There can be no doubt that vaccination was a definite causal factor.”
The next month Lancet reported on 35 cases of encephalitis, including 15 deaths. The authors concluded:
“Vaccination was a definite causal factor and no chance coincidence.”

The Report also noted 139 recent cases of post-vaccinal encephalitis and 41 deaths in one country alone, Holland. Compulsory smallpox vaccinations were discontinued as a result. [Health Organization of the League of Nations: Geneva. “Report of the Commission of Smallpox and Vaccination,” (August 27, 1928)]
In February 1930, Germany modified its compulsory vaccination law following numerous cases of post-vaccinal diseases: “Vaccinated people developed a cerebral inflammation which resulted in a number of deaths and several cases of mental derangement.” [The International News Service (February 27, 1930)]
Later that year, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on several fatal reactions among children following smallpox vaccination. They were described as having “encephalitic symptoms.” [J of the American Medical Association (April 5, 1930)]
From 1949 to 1951, in the United States, people died from complications of the smallpox vaccine—mainly from post-vaccinal encephalitis—at rates eight times greater than those who were not vaccinated.
In December of 1952, Lancet published a study documenting the reaction of a woman who was three months pregnant to the vaccine: “She developed a severe primary reaction and three months later she was spontaneously delivered of a feeble hydropic premature infant covered with a very severe generalized vaccinia. The child died 18 hours later.”
Another study determined that 47% of women who were vaccinated during their first trimester failed to give birth to a normal child. [McBean, E., pg. 82.]
During the late 1950s and 1960s, several medical and scientific publications documented numerous cases of post-vaccinal encephalomyelitis following smallpox vaccination. Neurological reactions ranged from encephalitis to epilepsy, polyneuritis, multiple sclerosis, and death.
In some regions of the world, 1 of every 63 people vaccinated was damaged by the shot. Extreme sensitivity to multiple shots was also observed. Subsequent inoculations were responsible for many of the post-vaccinal ailments. In fact, the death rate from vaccination appeared greatest in those who were vaccinated early in life and then re-vaccinated in later years. The morbidity and mortality rates were extremely high in babies as well.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
PART 5
Smallpox and AIDS
By the 1980's, a link between contracting AIDS after receiving the smallpox vaccination became apparent: “Primary smallpox immunization of persons with subclinical HIV disease poses a risk of vaccine-induced disease and multiple immunizations may accelerate the progress of HIV disease.”
According to researchers, this raises “concern about the ultimate safety of vaccinia-based vaccine in developing countries where HIV infection is increasing.” [Redfield, R., et al. “Disseminated vaccinia in a military recruit with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease.” New England Journal of Medicine (March 12, 1987):673]
In 1987, shortly after the results of this study were released, the London Times published an incredible report that claimed “the AIDS epidemic may have been triggered by the mass vaccination campaign.” The campaign in question was conducted by the World Health Organization during the 1960s and 1970s, mainly in Africa.
The regions that received the most vaccinations coincided with the areas of the greatest outbreaks of AIDS, including Zaire, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawai, Ruanda, and Burundi. Brazil had the highest AIDS rates in South Africa, and they were the only country including in the smallpox vaccination campaign on the entire continent.
According to the WHO advisor, “I thought it was just a coincidence until we studied the latest findings about the reactions which can be caused by vaccinia. Now I believe the smallpox vaccination theory is the explanation of AIDS.”
Dr. Robert Gallo, a pioneering AIDS/HIV researcher, when confronted with this disturbing scenario, did little to alleviate anyone's fears: “I have been saying for some years that the use of live vaccines such as that used for smallpox can activate a dormant infection such as HIV.”
Recent research has also shown that unsterile injections may have done a great deal in contributing to the HIV epidemic in Africa: “We conclude that increased unsterile injecting in Africa during the period 1950-1970 provided the agent for SIV human infections to emerge as epidemic HIV in the modern era.”
Did an attempt to control one disease, smallpox, transform another disease, AIDS, “from a minor endemic illness of the Third World into the current pandemic?”
Monkeypox
Lancet published a report in 1972 that stated that WHO's program to eradicate smallpox “can only be successful in the absence of a non-human reservoir for smallpox virus.”
In 1976, monkeypox antibodies in humans were discovered in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. The monkeypox virus was indistinguishable by laboratory methods from the smallpox virus.
Bioterrorism, Dark Winter and the New Smallpox Vaccine
During the 1970s experimentation with smallpox virus was conducted, and two medical researchers were even killed in England as a result. To reduce the risk of future accidents, all remaining known samples were moved to a CDC facility in Georgia and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk, Siberia.
Numerous deadlines came and went to destroy the virus, with some scientists defending the need to preserve them...“for science!”
On November 15th, 2001, in the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration postponed indefinitely any decision to eliminate seed stocks of the microbe.
Even though smallpox hadn't occurred in the U.S. since 1949, the government had stockpiled 15 million doses of the vaccine. However, the disgusting concoction was severely archaic:
Not only that, but the vaccine was known to cause inflammation of the brain as well as numerous other side effects, including smallpox itself and death. Sources:

In June 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, a team of bioterrorism specialists led by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies conducted a smallpox epidemic exercise ominously called Dark Winter.
Even though the Dark Winter simulation was severely flawed, Dr. Henderson, the “team leader” who also led WHO's global effort to eradicate smallpox, concluded that the threat was real and recommended 100 to 135 million doses.
Less than 10 days after 9/11, Dick Cheney was shown a video of the Dark Winter simulation and urged to increase the production of smallpox vaccine.
The new vaccine was expected to be made from a “diploid cell substrate” (human embryo) or from animal tissue cell cultures, including those with “tumorigenic potential.”
Franklin Top, a biotechnology expert and previous commander of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, declared that “reactogenicity” is going to be a problem.
Dr. Mark Buller, a virologist specializing in safer smallpox treatments at St. Louis University, boldly pronounced: “I would not even consider having my family vaccinated. I'm more likely to be hit riding my bike to work than be hit by a smallpox episode in my own life. [Stolberg, SG. “Immunization: vast uncertainty on smallpox vaccine.” New York Times (October 19, 2001)]

The Times exposé was written in response to a tip from an advisor to the World Health Organization who was assigned by WHO to investigate the suspicion that its ambitious vaccination program in Africa had caused the AIDS epidemic.
The WHO advisor did his study, concluded that the smallpox vaccine was a trigger for AIDS, and filed his report with WHO. When the report was buried, he contacted the Times.
The regions that received the most vaccinations coincided with the areas of the greatest outbreaks of AIDS, including Zaire, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawai, Ruanda, and Burundi. Brazil had the highest AIDS rates in South Africa, and they were the only country including in the smallpox vaccination campaign on the entire continent.

Did an attempt to control one disease, smallpox, transform another disease, AIDS, “from a minor endemic illness of the Third World into the current pandemic?”
Monkeypox
Some researchers question whether smallpox was ever truly exterminated. After WHO launched its global vaccination campaign against variola in 1967, suspected cases of smallpox were labeled as monkeypox.
Lancet published a report in 1972 that stated that WHO's program to eradicate smallpox “can only be successful in the absence of a non-human reservoir for smallpox virus.”
However, the author of the report identified several poxviruses affecting both humans and animals, and conceded that the monkeypox virus can cause clinical smallpox in humans.
In 1976, monkeypox antibodies in humans were discovered in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. The monkeypox virus was indistinguishable by laboratory methods from the smallpox virus.
Orthopoxviruses, the genera to which vaccinia, variola, cowpox, and monkeypox belong, have a high degree of similarity, with a “propensity for genetic recombination.” Monkeypox and smallpox produce exact clinical symptoms, with one insignificant difference: monkeypox also causes swelling of the cervical and inguinal (groin) lymph nodes.
In 1979, new research indicated that several animal species, including some rodents, may be carriers of variola-like viruses virtually identical to cowpox and monkeypox viruses. In fact, several poxviruses from animal sources were tested and shown to behave like variola/smallpox viruses.
Scientists are “wondering whether the specter of smallpox might be rising form the dead, perhaps reincarnated in its close relative monkeypox, which is alive, well, and spreading in Central Africa.” According to Dr. Peter Jahrling of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, for all practical purposes, smallpox is back. [Radio National. “The Health Report: Monkeypox.” Australian Broadcasting Corporation (September 1, 1997)]
Bioterrorism, Dark Winter and the New Smallpox Vaccine
During the 1970s experimentation with smallpox virus was conducted, and two medical researchers were even killed in England as a result. To reduce the risk of future accidents, all remaining known samples were moved to a CDC facility in Georgia and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk, Siberia.

On November 15th, 2001, in the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration postponed indefinitely any decision to eliminate seed stocks of the microbe.
Even though smallpox hadn't occurred in the U.S. since 1949, the government had stockpiled 15 million doses of the vaccine. However, the disgusting concoction was severely archaic:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta, has a reserve of roughly 15 million doses of smallpox vaccine. That vaccine, which is not available to the public, was manufactured using a method that dates from the 1700s.
The method involves infecting calves with a related virus, vaccinia; the resulting pus is used in the making of the vaccine. That process is considered barely acceptable for human vaccine today.
Not only that, but the vaccine was known to cause inflammation of the brain as well as numerous other side effects, including smallpox itself and death. Sources:
Greenberg, M. “Complications of vaccination against smallpox.” Am J Dis Child 1948;76:492-502

In 1997, four years before the 2001 terrorist attacks, the Department of Defense contracted with DynPort Vaccine Company to produce a new smallpox vaccine. In September of 2000, one year before the terrorist attacks, the CDC contracted with OraVax(which changed its name to Acambis) to produce a new smallpox vaccine.
Some researchers were puzzled by these actions since smallpox was supposedly eradicated and authorities were debating whether to destroy all of the remaining seed stocks of the virus. According to Dr. Margaret Hamburg, of the Department of Health and Human Services, “A lot of people thought this was a crazy idea, to make a new vaccine when the disease didn't exist.”
In June 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, a team of bioterrorism specialists led by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies conducted a smallpox epidemic exercise ominously called Dark Winter.
Within two months after the hypothetical epidemic started, three million people were infected. Dark Winter ended with the collapse of interstate commerce, crowds rioting in the streets, and the nation moving towards martial law.
However, like any theoretical exercise, conclusions are predicated on the underlying assumptions. One key assumption was that each person with smallpox would infect at least 10 other people and that those 10 people would each infect at least 10 more people and so on.
But a recent study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases regards those infection rates as grossly unrealistic. The authors of the study looked at data from numerous smallpox outbreaks and reported that on average less than one person was infected per infectious person.
In all outbreaks, some infected persons did not transmit a single case of smallpox to another person. The CDC researchers concluded “the probability that the average transmission rate will be greater than two cannot be demonstrated reliably.”
Even though the Dark Winter simulation was severely flawed, Dr. Henderson, the “team leader” who also led WHO's global effort to eradicate smallpox, concluded that the threat was real and recommended 100 to 135 million doses.
Less than 10 days after 9/11, Dick Cheney was shown a video of the Dark Winter simulation and urged to increase the production of smallpox vaccine.
On October 24, 2001, President Bush asked Congress for $509 million to develop and produce a new smallpox vaccine. He solicited bids for the job from several pharmaceutical companies, insisting on 300 million doses—one dose for every American—within the shortest possible time, not to exceed one year.
The new vaccine was expected to be made from a “diploid cell substrate” (human embryo) or from animal tissue cell cultures, including those with “tumorigenic potential.”
Ideally, it would not cause adverse reactions, would not be dangerous to people with immune system deficiencies, and would have the capacity to defeat genetically altered strains of variola. But researchers provided no evidence that the new vaccine would cause fewer adverse reactions than the old vaccine.
Furthermore, experts were very concerned about “the transmissibility of vaccinia virus from a recently vaccinated person to a susceptible host.” In other words, some people—no one knows how many—will develop smallpox by coming into contact with a recently vaccinated person.
Franklin Top, a biotechnology expert and previous commander of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, declared that “reactogenicity” is going to be a problem.
Dr. Mark Buller, a virologist specializing in safer smallpox treatments at St. Louis University, boldly pronounced: “I would not even consider having my family vaccinated. I'm more likely to be hit riding my bike to work than be hit by a smallpox episode in my own life. [Stolberg, SG. “Immunization: vast uncertainty on smallpox vaccine.” New York Times (October 19, 2001)]
Potential vaccine recipients must also understand that scientists may never be able to create a vaccine that can protect against mutated strains of the virus. Dozens of strains already exist. New permutations of the variola microbe could be developed by bioterrorists rendering a new vaccine worthless, thus subjecting recipients of the shot to the inherent risk of serious adverse reactions without the expected benefit.
In 2002, the U.S. government tested their existing smallpox vaccine on 200 “fit and healthy” college students. Following vaccination, 75 had high fevers, one-third missed at least one day of work or school, and several were put on antibiotics because their blisters resembled a bacterial infection.
Dr. Kathy Edwards, the physician overseeing the study, commented on the side effects: “I can read all day about it, but seeing it is quite impressive. The reactions we saw were really quite remarkable.”

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
PART 6
These reports compelled the CDC to release a fact sheet on the smallpox vaccine to address the many concerns, admitting, “There is evidence suggesting that smallpox vaccination may cause cases of heart inflammation (myocarditis), inflammation of the membrane covering the heart (pericarditis), and a combination of these two problems....Heart pain (angina) and heart attack have also been reported after smallpox vaccination.”
In 2005, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that assessed the safety of the government's program. The study documented nearly a thousand adverse events, including 85 hospitalizations (numerous cases of myocarditis or pericarditis), and three deaths. The report ends by suggesting:
In 2007, a two-year-old and his mother were infected with “eczema vaccinatum” after the father, a U.S. army soldier, was recently vaccinated against smallpox.
Also in 2007, an experimental smallpox vaccine called ACAM2000 (made by Acambis) was declared safe and effective by the FDA, despite the fact that clinical trials of this vaccine were halted three years earlier when several people developed myopericarditis after receiving the new vaccine.
According to the FDA, ACAM2000 is “nearly as effective” as the older smallpox vaccine, Dryvax, and poses “similar risks of serious side effects.”
As for Dryvax, the listed adverse reactions include autoinoculation (transfer of the virus to other parts of the body) affecting the face, nose, mouth, genitalia and rectum; infection of the eye resulting in blindness; post-vaccinal encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, encephalopathy, progressive vaccinia, eczema vaccinatum, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, neurological sequelae, and death.
However, even while U.S. Homeland Security was contemplating mandating the smallpox vaccine, not every government official was convinced. For example, Tommy Thompson of Health and Human Services said his department had no plans for a mandatory vaccination program, citing horrendous side effects as the principal reason. [Neergaard, L. “Health officials review smallpox plan.”Associated Press (October 19, 2001)]
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also opposed the idea, declaring that side effects were too numerous and too severe. [Stolberg, SG.]
Many pediatricians can't distinguish between smallpox and chickenpox, according to the results of a survey published in 2006 by Clinical Pediatrics.
Despite the well-documented concerns about the safety of the smallpox vaccine and the threat (and loss of civil liberties) associated with mandatory vaccines, on October 23, 2001, the CDC unveiled new legislation, The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, “giving public health officials and state governors the authority to arrest, vaccinate, medicate, and quarantine anyone they deem either unprotected from, or a threat to spread, infectious disease (see Section 504a—Vaccination and treatment).”
In response to this legislation, Dawn Richardson of PROVE, a vaccine awareness organization, declared:
This legislation also exempts the State, the police, and public health authorities from any liability. “If an individual opposes vaccines, is force-inoculated and dies, the perpetrators cannot be prosecuted.”
The ACLU also weighed in quite heavily against the MSEHPA.
Because of the increasing number of reported side effects, Congressman Henry Waxman was forced to state the obvious: “The president has asked healthcare workers to volunteer to be immunized so that they can serve society. In turn, society should help them if they are hurt when they volunteer.”
In response to these concerns, in 2006 the U.S. government published the “final rules” to the Smallpox Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The goal was to provide “benefits to public health and medical response team members and others who are injured as a result of receiving the smallpox vaccine.”
Also, “unvaccinated individuals injured after coming into contact with a vaccinated member of an emergency response plan, or with a person with whom the vaccinated person had contact, or their survivors may be eligible for the same program benefits.”
In conclusion, Neil Miller offers a crude, but damning, summary of this alternative perspective of the history of smallpox and the smallpox vaccine:
1. Being with unsanitary living conditions and poor nutritional awareness. This results in regional and self-limiting outbreaks of smallpox.
2. Conduct human experiments with variolation—the practice of inserting viral matter (infectious pus) from a smallpox victim into a deliberate cut on a healthy person.
3. When this fails, conduct human experiments with cowpox, horsepox, and horsegrease cowpox.
4. When this fails, deny it.
5. When this fails, blame it on “spurious” cowpox, improperly administered injections, or too few puncture marks...and recommend re-vaccination.
6. When this fails, manipulate statistics by altering medical records and falsifying death certificates...and mandate the smallpox vaccine.
7. When people refuse the shot, vaccination rates drop, and cases of smallpox dwindle...take full credit for eradicating the disease!
In late 2002, smallpox vaccination was reinstated for U.S. military personnel. In early 2003, the program was expanded to include civilians considered at high risk during a smallpox outbreak (mostly healthcare and emergency service workers).
Shortly thereafter, several vaccinated people experienced serious adverse reactions, including heart problems. For example, a Maryland woman died from a hearth attack after being injected with the shot.
These reports compelled the CDC to release a fact sheet on the smallpox vaccine to address the many concerns, admitting, “There is evidence suggesting that smallpox vaccination may cause cases of heart inflammation (myocarditis), inflammation of the membrane covering the heart (pericarditis), and a combination of these two problems....Heart pain (angina) and heart attack have also been reported after smallpox vaccination.”

The study documented nearly a thousand adverse events, including 85 hospitalizations (numerous cases of myocarditis or pericarditis), and three deaths. The report ends by suggesting:
Additional reduction of overall vaccinia adverse events might be achievable through study of cardiac and dermatological risk factors, a better understanding of vaccinia host-pathogen interaction, and development of a less reactogenic vaccinia vaccine.

Many pediatricians can't distinguish between smallpox and chickenpox, according to the results of a survey published in 2006 by Clinical Pediatrics.
Fifty-nine percent of the responders were unable to differentiate chickenpox from smallpox, and the majority would not accept vaccination in the absence of an outbreak and would not recommend smallpox vaccine to their patients. Even in previously vaccinated pediatricians, willingness to receive smallpox vaccine is poor...
Despite the well-documented concerns about the safety of the smallpox vaccine and the threat (and loss of civil liberties) associated with mandatory vaccines, on October 23, 2001, the CDC unveiled new legislation, The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, “giving public health officials and state governors the authority to arrest, vaccinate, medicate, and quarantine anyone they deem either unprotected from, or a threat to spread, infectious disease (see Section 504a—Vaccination and treatment).”
Local police and the U.S. military, by way of the National Guard, would enforce the law. Previous laws permitting medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions would be repealed.
In response to this legislation, Dawn Richardson of PROVE, a vaccine awareness organization, declared:
Everyone who values our freedoms and rights in this country needs to commit to educating family and friends about the dangers of such an unchecked medical dictatorship.
Because there has been no research into the biological mechanisms that predispose people to vaccine reactions and there has been no effort to screen out these individuals, this type of action should be condemned; it will create unfathomable human suffering and sacrifice. [Richardson, D. “Danger: forced vaccination for all under CDC's proposal.” PROVE newsletter (November 2, 2001)]
This legislation also exempts the State, the police, and public health authorities from any liability. “If an individual opposes vaccines, is force-inoculated and dies, the perpetrators cannot be prosecuted.”

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Federal Bill Announced To Eliminate All Vaccine Exemptions For Head Start
Vaccine Liberation Army reports:
Indeed, Monterey Herald reports the ladies’ plan to introduce the federal bill next week. Eshoo tried to exercise her comedic abilities when she said, “This bill is a ‘booster shot’ for our nation’s vaccine policies and will mitigate the spread of deadly disease.” Get it?
They swooned “the genius” of American scientists for creating vaccines to eradicate polio, and emphasize that this bill is necessary to make sure over a million “of our children” are protected from deadly disease. But repeating the term “deadly disease” does not wipe out the fact that zero people have died from measles since the early 2000s, that many of the people who got measles from California were vaccinated, and that 108 people that we know of have died after getting measles vaccines. And the tragic results of the polio vaccine are a whole other story. And another.
Medical exemptions would still be allowed, but those are extremely rare and difficult to obtain.
Since writing about California’s proposal to eliminate any schoolchildren vaccine waivers for personal beliefs – it turns out, multiple states have either passed, or are in the process of moving similar bills through. Many of them surround tightening exemptions by requiring the parents to submit to a medical consult (intimidation, warning) before being allowed to opt their children out. Again, this is setting the stage for things to come. Exemptions were always viewed as “loopholes” from the start, with time limits set to “close the loop.”
And while New York has taken steps to expand exemptions, a federal bill can easily undo all of that.
Isn’t it interesting how an outbreak of measles, now on its way out in California, could have so many lawmakers at the helm ready to “take swift (permanent) action”? The infamous historical battle cry that precedes the complete loss of human rights and gains of abuse: We have to do something NOW! Because of A we must do B – it’s for the children! They sure do write quickly when they need to accomplish something.
One woman writing for Thinking Mom’s Revolution summarized some reasons why proposals for such new mandates are unsurprising, and why so many people never get to hear important medical information – my emphasis added:
What a sweet gig! As Vaccine Liberation Army points out, there are over 200 new vaccines in the pipeline – do parents really want to risk losing the ability to refuse future potentially mandated vaccines? By corralling the public, and closing all exits, the government in tandem with pharmaceutical corps and their medical community underlings would have carte blanche over your body.
Add to that, the fact that nearly all media – currently spewing forceful vaccine tripe – in the U.S. is owned by “The Big Six” corporations. Who are some of their sponsors? And if Comcast finally succeeds in the planned merger with Time Warner, wouldn’t that take our big six down to “The Big Five”?
Media outlets have thrown any thin veil of credibility out the window. For instance, USA Todayintroducing the idea of jailing or suing parents for not vaccinating their children by posing it as a question in a headline. Before, no one would have thought to ask that. Even doctors with all of their prestige, cannot “opt-out” of playing ball. “Revoke the license of any doctor who opposes vaccination” says a widely-circulated Washington Post op-ed. Those media polls are to gauge YOU – and your reactions. So, it should come as no surprise that people who were merely in the thinking, searching, and health conscious kind of way, suddenly find themselves painted as a fabricated neo-conspiracy theorist.
Marxists like to comment on “the tyranny of choice” for consumers. Don’t you mean the illusion of choice? An American can barely choose what information they are allowed to hear, let alone a medical procedure they want – or don’t want.
Vaccine Liberation Army reports:
Senator Barbara Boxer (D) and Representative Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto), have proposed federal legislation that would for the first time impose Federal, as opposed to State, vaccine mandates to attend an educational program. The legislators’ bill entitled A Head Start on Vaccinations Act would require all children enrolled in Head Start to get all of the vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) according to the CDC’s timetable. There would be no exemptions for religious or personnel beliefs. READ MORE…AND TAKE ACTION

One woman writing for Thinking Mom’s Revolution summarized some reasons why proposals for such new mandates are unsurprising, and why so many people never get to hear important medical information – my emphasis added:
One word: Profit. As of 1988, vaccine makers and the doctors who administer vaccines bear no liability for vaccine injury (23). They cannot be held accountable by law for adverse events from vaccination. In fact, the entire adverse event reporting system (VAERS) is voluntary! This means that the more aggressive our vaccine schedule, the more profitable it is for vaccine makers. But what about the Centers for Disease Control, don’t they direct the vaccines our children really need? Please note that the CDC uses worldwide disease data to formulate our policies, which makes no sense at all. How could one possibly compare a malnourished child living in unsanitary conditions and subsequently exposed to illness to a child exposed to that same illness in a first-world country? I invite parents to take a look at the resumes of some of the heads of pharmaceutical companies and members of the CDC like this one (24). One can very clearly see those in charge of vaccine policy have adangerous conflict of interest with those who profit from that policy. Remember, pharmaceutical companies contributed $34 million dollars in campaign funds in 2014 (25). It would behoove anyone attempting office these days to err on the side of ‘big pharma.’

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
What Investigative Journalist Sharyl Attkisson Told Me About Vaccines
“The complete failure of this year’s flu vaccine, even by conventional standards, is a major scandal at the CDC. To distract the press and public, we now have a fake epidemic of measles, and pressure to take the vaccine, take all vaccines all the time. This is called a psyop. Psyops build fake realities.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
As my readers know, I’ve written many articles about vaccines, covering: mandatory shots; the pseudoscience of vaccination; severe adverse effects; poisons in shots; disastrous vaccination campaigns, and so on.
This article is about something else. It’s about who is allowed to speak fully in mainstream media.
If truth were the objective of news, you would see reasoned debates between pro and anti-vax proponents on major networks—-but that’s a joke because no reasoned debates are permitted on any sensitive subject.
When it comes to vaccines, major media are all about “what doctors tell us.” If I may be so bold, who cares what doctors say?
Who cares?
Why are doctors a privileged class? Why do they get a free pass?
Let’s see…oh yes, it’s because government and drug companies back them up. The last time I looked, this has nothing to do with the truth.
It has to do with monopoly, though.
“I’m a doctor, and of course I’m pro-vaccine.”
“Welcome, Doctor, good to have you on the show.”
Or: “I’m not a doctor.”
“Sorry, you’re out.”
Or: “I’m a doctor, and I’m against vaccines.”
“You’re suffering from a mental disorder, Doctor, and you’re a traitor to your profession and a threat to the future of the human race.”
Media construct this premise: the pro-vaccine “experts” are truthtellers, and the people who question vaccines are “denialists.” That’s how the issue is framed. Ahead
of time. On purpose.
The millions of brainwashed people who watch the news every night and genuflect and live inside that dream are content to believe “the good doctors.” They have to believe someone, because they have no opinion of their own. They don’t have the tools to form a reasoned opinion. If a doctor told them that four shots of bull sperm would protect their children from a virus floating in from the Orion Belt, they’d line up their kiddies at clinics and drug stores for the “free” jab.
An anti-vaccine reporter at a local TV station once told me she’d been labeled “trouble.” She wasn’t permitted to air any vaccine story, for fear that through word or gesture she might trigger a scandal.
Part of that scandal? Scores of viewers would contact the station and side with the anti-vaccine reporter. The execs knew those viewers were out there and were also “trouble.”
On August 27, 2014, a long-time researcher at the CDC, William Thompson, confessed in print that he and his colleagues had cooked a vital vaccine study to “prove” the MMR vaccine had no connection to autism…when in fact that was a lie. The vaccine did have a connection.
A media storm should have followed. A respected researcher coming out of the woodwork and saying, “I lied”? That’s a huge story for major media and medical media.
But? There was a virtual blackout on the story. There still is.
The vaccine establishment must be protected.
In the fall of 2009, Sharyl Attkisson, working at CBS News, blew the doors open on a huge Swine Flu scandal at the CDC:
The CDC, whose job it was to accurately report the number of Swine Flu cases in the US, had stopped counting. Stopped counting.
Why? Because the overwhelming number of blood samples from diagnosed or likely Swine Flu patients, coming back from testing labs, showed these people didn’t have Swine Flu or any flu.
That fact torpedoed the entire CDC propaganda- fear campaign aimed at convincing Americans to take the Swine Flu vaccine.
So…Sharyl Attkisson’s effort to move this story from the CBS News website on to the national nightly-news television broadcast was shot down.
Here is a piece from a 2014 interview I did with Attkisson:
Q: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the “pandemic,” without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?
A: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it and, in the end, no broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.
Q: You’ve revealed serious problems caused by vaccines. Have you run into opposition as a result of covering these stories?
A: This is a long discussion but yes, it is one of the most well funded, well orchestrated efforts I’ve ever seen on a story. Many reporters, if not all, who have tried to factually cover this topic have experienced the same opposition as have researchers who dared to uncover vaccine side effects. Those who don’t want the stories explored want to censor the information from the public entirely, lest the public draw the “wrong” conclusions about the facts. The media has largely bought into the conflicted government, political and medical complex propaganda on the topic that marginalizes researchers, journalists and parents who dare to speak to the scientific facts they’ve uncovered or to their own experiences. It’s a giant scandal of its own.
Q: I know you’ve had problems with your Wikipedia page. What happened there?
A: Long story short: there is a concerted effort by special interests who exploit Wikipedia editing privileges to control my biographical page to disparage my reporting on certain topics and skew the information. Judging from the editing, the interest(s) involved relates to the pharmaceutical/vaccine industry. I am far from alone…
Does that tell you something about the way major media cover vaccine stories?
There is even more.
The staggering capper on this tale? Roughly three weeks after Attkisson’s Swine Flu revelations appeared in print, the CDC, obviously in great distress over the exposure, decided to double down. The best lie to tell would be a huge lie.
Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC’s response: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents — the CDC’s best guess is 22 million — came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” by Daniel J. DeNoon)
The CDC had no facts or stats or lab tests to confirm ANY of their reported numbers of Swine Flu cases in America. So they said: 22 MILLION CASES.
But don’t worry. Be happy. Everything the government tells you about disease and the need to take vaccines is perfectly true.
Perfectly, absolutely.
“The complete failure of this year’s flu vaccine, even by conventional standards, is a major scandal at the CDC. To distract the press and public, we now have a fake epidemic of measles, and pressure to take the vaccine, take all vaccines all the time. This is called a psyop.

An anti-vaccine reporter at a local TV station once told me she’d been labeled “trouble.” She wasn’t permitted to air any vaccine story, for fear that through word or gesture she might trigger a scandal.
Part of that scandal? Scores of viewers would contact the station and side with the anti-vaccine reporter. The execs knew those viewers were out there and were also “trouble.”
On August 27, 2014, a long-time researcher at the CDC, William Thompson, confessed in print that he and his colleagues had cooked a vital vaccine study to “prove” the MMR vaccine had no connection to autism…when in fact that was a lie. The vaccine did have a connection.
A media storm should have followed. A respected researcher coming out of the woodwork and saying, “I lied”? That’s a huge story for major media and medical media.
But? There was a virtual blackout on the story. There still is.
The vaccine establishment must be protected.
In the fall of 2009, Sharyl Attkisson, working at CBS News, blew the doors open on a huge Swine Flu scandal at the CDC:
The CDC, whose job it was to accurately report the number of Swine Flu cases in the US, had stopped counting. Stopped counting.
Why? Because the overwhelming number of blood samples from diagnosed or likely Swine Flu patients, coming back from testing labs, showed these people didn’t have Swine Flu or any flu.
That fact torpedoed the entire CDC propaganda- fear campaign aimed at convincing Americans to take the Swine Flu vaccine.
So…Sharyl Attkisson’s effort to move this story from the CBS News website on to the national nightly-news television broadcast was shot down.
Here is a piece from a 2014 interview I did with Attkisson:
Q: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the “pandemic,” without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?
A: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it and, in the end, no broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.
Q: You’ve revealed serious problems caused by vaccines. Have you run into opposition as a result of covering these stories?
A: This is a long discussion but yes, it is one of the most well funded, well orchestrated efforts I’ve ever seen on a story. Many reporters, if not all, who have tried to factually cover this topic have experienced the same opposition as have researchers who dared to uncover vaccine side effects. Those who don’t want the stories explored want to censor the information from the public entirely, lest the public draw the “wrong” conclusions about the facts. The media has largely bought into the conflicted government, political and medical complex propaganda on the topic that marginalizes researchers, journalists and parents who dare to speak to the scientific facts they’ve uncovered or to their own experiences. It’s a giant scandal of its own.
Q: I know you’ve had problems with your Wikipedia page. What happened there?
A: Long story short: there is a concerted effort by special interests who exploit Wikipedia editing privileges to control my biographical page to disparage my reporting on certain topics and skew the information. Judging from the editing, the interest(s) involved relates to the pharmaceutical/vaccine industry. I am far from alone…
Does that tell you something about the way major media cover vaccine stories?
There is even more.
The staggering capper on this tale? Roughly three weeks after Attkisson’s Swine Flu revelations appeared in print, the CDC, obviously in great distress over the exposure, decided to double down. The best lie to tell would be a huge lie.
Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC’s response: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents — the CDC’s best guess is 22 million — came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” by Daniel J. DeNoon)
The CDC had no facts or stats or lab tests to confirm ANY of their reported numbers of Swine Flu cases in America. So they said: 22 MILLION CASES.
But don’t worry. Be happy. Everything the government tells you about disease and the need to take vaccines is perfectly true.
Perfectly, absolutely.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
There Is No Anti-Vaccination Movement
Except, there is no such thing as the “anti-vaccination movement.” A “movement” is a growing organization of people, all pushing toward a common goal. People who exempt their children from vaccination don’t have a “common goal.” There is no target percentage of “anti-vaccination” they conspire to achieve. There is no agenda to push down anyone’s throat. There is no point in time at which they hope to declare victory. The only thing that exemptors have in common is this: they don’t care what you do with your kid. They only care about their own.
The “pro-vaccination movement” is funded—in cash, in product donations, and in intellectual manpower—by people who have gotten rich from the manufacture and sale of vaccines. Sure, they have uncompensated foot soldiers of uncertain mental stability, but the driving force is from a higher level. The goal of the “pro-vaccination movement” is to have 100% compliance with the vaccine program. Exemptors? Exemptors don’t care if anyone complies.
The “pro-vaccination movement” teams up with local health departments to get state legislators to sponsor laws that take away parental rights. Exemptors? They don’t care how anyone else parents their children; just don’t tell them how to parent their own.
The “pro-vaccination movement” goes to their contacts in the pharmaceutical-owned media to call names and paint portraits of ignorance and mis-education of the parents who exercise their right of exemption. Exemptors? Most of them don’t have any friends in the media and if they do, they sure aren’t slinging mud. Why? Because they don’t care what other people are doing with regard to vaccines.
See the pattern here? One group is trying to force the other group to bend to its will, but the roles aren’t what the media tells you they are. There is no such thing as an “anti-vaccination movement.”
Where did this idea of there being a dangerous movement underfoot come from, you wonder?
Let’s look at what else happened five years ago: Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, admitted in an interview that HHS “reached out to the media to get them to stop giving equal weight in their reporting” of the views of parents of vaccine injured children.
Wow. Did you hear that? One of the highest-ranking officials in the US Health Department admitted feeling threatened by moms and dads who tell the story of what vaccines did to their children. But worse than that, she admitted to gagging the media from speaking about it, which turned the tides and created the non-existent “anti-vaccination movement” out of thin air. In September of 2007 Jenny McCarthy went on Oprah to talk about vaccines and her son’s autism. Two years later the media was gagged by the US Health Department and Jenny was made into a villain.
Even in the 1800s there were people who proclaimed the smallpox vaccine to be dangerous after seeing their family and friends become disabled or die after inoculation. Then they witnessed vaccinated neighbors come down with smallpox years later, so they weren’t convinced of the vaccine’s effectiveness, either. Some things never change, huh?
In 1853 vaccination for smallpox became mandatory, with fines for non-compliance and imprisonment for non-payment of the fines. This led to massive demonstrations by the working class, celebrities, and parliament members. In 1885, with over 3,000 prosecutions pending in one county alone, a demonstration of 20,000 people led to what eventually became the exemption of Conscientious Objection of 1898.
The 1898 Vaccination Act removed penalties for not vaccinating and allowed parents who did not believe that vaccination was safe or effective to obtain an exemption for their infant children. But there was a catch—in order to obtain the exemption they had to satisfy the requirements of two magistrates before the child was 4 months old. Unsurprisingly, many magistrates refused to perform their duties under the law and the intention behind granting liberty from vaccination floundered.
The exemptors pushed harder and the British government responded by passing the 1907 Vaccination Act. With that, a parent could exempt their child by mailing a written declaration to the local Vaccination Officer that stated their belief that vaccination would harm their child’s health. In 1908 a whopping 17% of the British population filed for Conscientious Objector status. It was the advent of the modern Philosophical Exemption, born of oppressive government intervention and community meddling in parenting rights.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
The MMR Vaccine Package Insert – Facts Or Fibs?
With all the media ‘fear porn’ about measles that’s been inundating everyone recently, perhaps healthcare consumers ought to know some pertinent facts about the MMR vaccines that their MDs, pediatricians, and health agencies apparently NEGLECT to tell the public as part of what should be properly informed consent. Later on, I will discuss ‘fear porn’ tactics.
Legally, ethically, and morally, what would be informed medical consent? According to the American Medical Association,
Furthermore, the AMA says,
However, all the medical professions apparently practice only partial informed consent since they do not reveal the many health-threatening facts about vaccines as published on each and every vaccine package insert—the MMR vaccine being no exception.
Online at Immunization Action Coalition, consumers will find vaccines package inserts for twenty-four (24) vaccines, especially the ones children receive. Each package insert must follow guidelines to supply information in order to comply with CDC/FDA vaccine licensing protocols.
Mercks’ MMR II Vaccine
Let’s see what the Merck & Company M-M-R II package insert (Measles, Mumps, Rubella Virus Vaccine Live) has to say.
It’s rather interesting—and totally amusing—that a TV-show mother resorted to creating a chart detailing all communicable infectious diseases contracted by each of her six children! A novel idea, I’d say, but an intelligent and responsible Mom was portrayed. Was ‘Mrs. Brady’ fear-ridden or panic stricken? Absolutely not! Mothers back then knew the facts about measles, as nonchalantly stated by the MD in that TV show. Also, Moms knew how to treat it without today’s modern pharmaceuticals, and kids in western countries got well in a few days.
Measles fatalities occur in developing or “Third World” countries where life is at subsistence levels and children’s immune systems can’t cope. Mr. Bill Gates, supposedly the wealthiest man on the planet, may I question why you don’t improve the standard of living conditions in those countries with your money, instead of supplying vaccines that harm?
Bill Gates Involvement with Vaccines
Here’s some of that vaccine legacy:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
What Changed?
The glaringly interesting aspect of the TV measles theme shows [above] is how nonchalantly measles was treated when an entire household came down with the disease. The depiction in those parodies was actually the way measles was treated back then BEFORE vaccines. I remember it well; I lived and experienced it; and all of us kids lived, too! And, I did not have a MMR vaccine; that was in the 1940s! Here’s an interesting aside: During puberty, my face broke out very badly with acne. I was called “pimple face” by kids in school. However, within the year of my pimple face experience, I contracted German measles. Guess what? When the German measles ran its course, I was left with a clear complexion—the acne went away—almost like magic! So apparently, those German measles were able to ‘fine-tune’ my body chemistry.
Realistically, what has frightened healthcare consumers need to ask today is, “Where has all this vituperative ‘fear porn’ come from?” Apparently, those who have financial interests in vaccines either need to create markets, or champion part of the control mechanisms for the new world order controllers. Remember the 2009 Swine flu pandemic that never materialized. The 2014-15 flu vaccine has a wrong choice of flu strains. Maybe they intentionally want people to get the flu so they can push more vaccines or mandatory control techniques?
I encourage everyone to take the time to read “30 Year Cover-up of Vaccine Dangers Exposed in UK Government Transcripts.”
Classic Example of ‘Fear Porn’
Now, here’s what I would call a classic example of ‘vaccine fear porn’. In the metropolitan Philadelphia radio listening area, at least a couple times an hour over the last few days, a measles report advised listeners to get vaccinated against the “probably deadly disease measles” because a teenager in a suburban county [deliberately not named] may have symptoms of measles. Scare all listeners in the surrounding counties and states neighboring Philadelphia! That hype ratcheted up each day, as I wondered what the —- is going on, since any MD worth his or her professional salt only needs to look at a person’s skin and take their body temperature to diagnose measles! Now, as I finish editing this article, the all-news radio station reports that the 15 year old boy, who first went to ‘X’ hospital in Montgomery County, has not been diagnosed with measles, according to health authorities. No measles outbreak, but plenty of ‘fear porn’ damage accomplished, in my opinion.
Reality Check
Now, for a reality check: The measles vaccine was not invented until 1963, when a measles vaccine was licensed. In 1968 a more attenuated measles vaccine was introduced, and in 1971 the MMR combination vaccine made its debut. [3] However, if truth be known, measles was on the decline long before the first measles vaccine ever was invented, as the chart below indicates what happened in England and Wales in children less than 15 years of age from 1850 to 1965. That’s the year measles vaccinations were given as a single dose vaccine, rather than a trivalent—the Measles-Mumps-Rubella, which definitely has proven to be problematic with adverse reactions, even according to the CDC’s VAERS reports.
The automatic precipitous decline in measles was due to improved sanitation, potable running water supplies, refrigeration, and better/healthful food and nutrition, NOT vaccines like the CDC would have you believe.
However, it needs to be noted that in the USA, only 20 states required measles vaccinations by 1970, but by 1983, all 50 states had those requirements. Furthermore, shortly afterward in the 1980s is when vaccine adverse events in young children became frequent and attracted the attention of vaccine makers and parents, who realized their children were not the same after receiving the MMR vaccinations, in particular, and the same for DPT vaccines.
Cause and Effect
Vaccine apologists somehow cannot—nor do they want to—acknowledge “cause and effect.” Science teaches that for every action there is a reaction, one of the basic laws of physics: Newton’s Third Law [5]. The intended reaction for vaccines is immunization, whereas what vaccinees acquire is an “antigen response,” which is not natural immunity. The proof is that all health agencies now are requiring the same vaccines be given numerous times at various ages.
With natural immunity, once you contract the disease, you are immune for life with no shots!
Definitely not cost effective for Big Pharma!
Furthermore, Big Pharma vaccine makers became so paranoid about probable future law suits that could put them out of business for adverse reactions from vaccines, that they lobbied Congress for—and even helped write—the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which has become an ever-widening legal challenge for healthcare consumers getting vaccine damage relief, it seems. More claims are denied than compensated, which was not the original intent of the act, I believe.
According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Statistics Reports the following claims have been filed for MMR vaccines: 866 injuries and 57 deaths with 357 compensated, but 489 dismissed for MMR vaccine-caused injuries.
For the MMR-Varicella vaccine: 28 injuries, 1 death, 13 compensated, and 6 dismissed.
Back to the package insert.
Post-Exposure Vaccination
Vaccine Science Transparency Needed by Law
If medicine wants to be transparent about infectious diseases—and measles in particular, then notation should be made as to what type of measles kids contract: the wild-type or the vaccine strain. That should be a scientific/medical rule, if they want to be accurate about the efficacy of the MMR, or any vaccine, I think.
[Plus, effects on fetal development are unknown! Shouldn’t that be resolved as a priority for any vaccine before being released for sale?]
4. Precautions
My comment about the above is this: What I highlighted is what may and probably is happening now, since there’s a given in vaccinology that vaccines can “shed” and the MMR package insert states “while accepted as a theoretical possibility” [legal wiggle room words], shedding is a reality and may be the cause of measles epidemics occurring, i.e., vaccinees infecting others—something vaccine apologists seemingly don’t want to hear, accept and/or believe. That deliberate disbelief refers back to the ‘religious, cult-like belief system’ about vaccines: Just because they say so, it’s so! Not true—but pseudoscience says vaccines are safe! Vaccine shedding can and does happen with the flu vaccine, per the CDC here.
Vaccine Shedding is discussed here.
According to “Inside Vaccines”,
Vaccines Not Tested or Proven Safe for…
And, probably the most damning of all information in every vaccine package insert, besides their toxic chemical ingredients, is this:
What that means is that the MMR vaccine has not been evaluated at any time since the 1960s for the ability to cause cancer, cause birth defects, or impair a vaccinee’s ability to have children. That’s a pretty unscientific, unprofessional and immoral claim to make for every vaccine Big Pharma produces and $ell $, especially since Congress gave vaccine makers “a get out of jail free” card in 1986 with passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that exonerates vaccine producers from any legal or financial responsibilities for health damages their vaccines cause. Case closed, healthcare consumer! Buy our product; get hurt and you’re on your own—screwed!
Vaccine Ingredients and Possible Problems
On page 1 of Merck’s MMR vaccine package insert under “Description,” we find this:
I think that I ought to mention that recombinant human albumin in vaccines just may be problematic and may be involved with what’s called homologous recombination [6], which may cause many adverse reactions affecting DNA, plus at mitochondrial levels.
Furthermore, the Mumps active in the Merck MMR vaccine was fraudulently stated as effective for numerous years until two whistleblowers came forward. There’s a federal lawsuit: Civil Action No. 10-4374, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. See this.
However and rather disconcerting, those who should know better than to pimp an unproven medical procedure—all vaccines are because they have not been tested for abilities to induce cancer and other diseases or health anomalies—are the very ones who profit from them.
Mandatory Vaccines Are Basic Human Rights Issues
Unsuspecting healthcare consumers need to wake up to what’s been pulled over their eyes in plain sight. Don’t you think it would be a good idea if you checked out other vaccine package inserts here to find out what you don’t know about vaccines? My 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, discusses what many of those toxic chemicals can do in the body according to peer review scientific publications.
The other crucially important measles fact to demand, which is germane to the current hysteria, is this: What strain of the measles virus is it? Is it the one in the vaccine? That data should be required by law to be part of the information made public. However, that would be too significant a factoid to reveal, so don’t count on it, as that would blow their cover.
However, the ultimate vaccine issue is that mandatory vaccinations is a basic human rights issues, and don’t let authorities forget that!
No one should be made to put into their bodies, or their children’s bodies, toxic and unproven products whose ingredients have contraindications and can cause adverse events according to the manufacturers’ own admissions on vaccine package inserts. If a parent were to give kids those same ingredients in vaccines, they would be prosecuted for child abuse, and the children taken in to Child Protective Services.
It’s high time we stand up for freedom and constitutional protection from vaccine/vaccination mandates and personal rights abuses at federal and state levels, and demand the right to self-determination regarding our health, its care and practices, and that of our children.
With all the media ‘fear porn’ about measles that’s been inundating everyone recently, perhaps healthcare consumers ought to know some pertinent facts about the MMR vaccines that their MDs, pediatricians, and health agencies apparently NEGLECT to tell the public as part of what should be properly informed consent. Later on, I will discuss ‘fear porn’ tactics.
Legally, ethically, and morally, what would be informed medical consent? According to the American Medical Association,
The patient’s right of self-decision can be effectively exercised only if the patient possesses enough information to enable an informed choice. [1] [Emphasis added]
Furthermore, the AMA says,
The patient should make his or her own determination about treatment. The physician’s obligation is to present the medical facts accurately to the patient or to the individual responsible for the patient’s care and to make recommendations for management in accordance with good medical practice. [1] [Emphasis added]
However, all the medical professions apparently practice only partial informed consent since they do not reveal the many health-threatening facts about vaccines as published on each and every vaccine package insert—the MMR vaccine being no exception.
Online at Immunization Action Coalition, consumers will find vaccines package inserts for twenty-four (24) vaccines, especially the ones children receive. Each package insert must follow guidelines to supply information in order to comply with CDC/FDA vaccine licensing protocols.
Mercks’ MMR II Vaccine
Let’s see what the Merck & Company M-M-R II package insert (Measles, Mumps, Rubella Virus Vaccine Live) has to say.
1. For measles, 894,134 cases reported in 1941 compared to 288 cases reported in 1995 resulted in a 99.97% decrease in reported cases; … [2]
That verifies just how prevalent measles was. Measles and other infectious childhood diseases were considered almost as a “rite of passage.” Most children usually were expected to contract measles, asseveral old TV sitcoms dramatized as ‘comedies’, namely: “The Donna Reed Show” in 1959; “The Flintstones” in 1961 with a skit about ‘measly measles’; and “The Brady Bunch” 1969 parody about an entire family coming down with measles.
It’s rather interesting—and totally amusing—that a TV-show mother resorted to creating a chart detailing all communicable infectious diseases contracted by each of her six children! A novel idea, I’d say, but an intelligent and responsible Mom was portrayed. Was ‘Mrs. Brady’ fear-ridden or panic stricken? Absolutely not!

The proof is that all health agencies now are requiring the same vaccines be given numerous times at various ages.
With natural immunity, once you contract the disease, you are immune for life with no shots!
Definitely not cost effective for Big Pharma!
Furthermore, Big Pharma vaccine makers became so paranoid about probable future law suits that could put them out of business for adverse reactions from vaccines, that they lobbied Congress for—and even helped write—the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which has become an ever-widening legal challenge for healthcare consumers getting vaccine damage relief, it seems. More claims are denied than compensated, which was not the original intent of the act, I believe.
According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Statistics Reports the following claims have been filed for MMR vaccines: 866 injuries and 57 deaths with 357 compensated, but 489 dismissed for MMR vaccine-caused injuries.
For the MMR-Varicella vaccine: 28 injuries, 1 death, 13 compensated, and 6 dismissed.
Back to the package insert.
2. Women of childbearing age should be advised not to become pregnant for 3 months after vaccination and should be informed of the reasons for this precaution.
Post-Exposure Vaccination
Vaccination of individuals exposed to wild-type measles may provide some protection if the vaccine can be administered within 72 hours of exposure. If, however, vaccine is given a few days before exposure, substantial protection may be afforded.{34,38,39} There is no conclusive evidence that vaccination of individuals recently exposed to wild-type mumps or wild-type rubella will provide protection.{33,37} [2, pg.3]
Vaccine Science Transparency Needed by Law
If medicine wants to be transparent about infectious diseases—and measles in particular, then notation should be made as to what type of measles kids contract: the wild-type or the vaccine strain. That should be a scientific/medical rule, if they want to be accurate about the efficacy of the MMR, or any vaccine, I think.
3. Do not give M-M-R II to pregnant females; the possible effects of the vaccine on fetal development are unknown at this time. If vaccination of postpubertal females is undertaken, pregnancy should be avoided for three months following vaccination (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE, Non-Pregnant Adolescent and Adult Females and PRECAUTIONS, Pregnancy). [2, pg.3] [Emphasis added]
[Plus, effects on fetal development are unknown! Shouldn’t that be resolved as a priority for any vaccine before being released for sale?]
4. Precautions
Excretion of small amounts of the live attenuated rubella virus from the nose or throat has occurred in the majority of susceptible individuals 7 to 28 days after vaccination. There is no confirmed evidence to indicate that such virus is transmitted to susceptible persons who are in contact with the vaccinated individuals. Consequently, transmission through close personal contact, while accepted as a theoretical possibility, is not regarded as a significant risk.{33} However, transmission of the rubella vaccine virus to infants via breast milk has been documented (see Nursing Mothers). [2, pg.5] [Emphasis added]
My comment about the above is this: What I highlighted is what may and probably is happening now, since there’s a given in vaccinology that vaccines can “shed” and the MMR package insert states “while accepted as a theoretical possibility” [legal wiggle room words], shedding is a reality and may be the cause of measles epidemics occurring, i.e., vaccinees infecting others—something vaccine apologists seemingly don’t want to hear, accept and/or believe. That deliberate disbelief refers back to the ‘religious, cult-like belief system’ about vaccines: Just because they say so, it’s so! Not true—but pseudoscience says vaccines are safe! Vaccine shedding can and does happen with the flu vaccine, per the CDC here.
Vaccine Shedding is discussed here.
According to “Inside Vaccines”,
Measles Vaccine – Although secondary transmission of the vaccine virus has never been documented, measles virus RNA has been detected in the urine of the vaccinees as early as 1 day or as late as 14 days after vaccination. [Detection of Measles RNA]
In France, measles virus was isolated in a throat swab of a recently vaccinated child 4 days after fever onset. The virus was then further genetically characterised as a vaccine- type virus. [Detection of measles vaccine in the throat of a vaccinated child.]
Rubella Vaccine – Excretion of small amounts of live attenuated rubella virus from the nose and throat has occurred in the majority of susceptible individuals 7-28 days after vaccination. Transmission of the vaccine virus via breast milk has been documented. [MMR II]
Vaccines Not Tested or Proven Safe for…
And, probably the most damning of all information in every vaccine package insert, besides their toxic chemical ingredients, is this:
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
M-M-R II has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or potential to impair fertility. [2, pg.6]
What that means is that the MMR vaccine has not been evaluated at any time since the 1960s for the ability to cause cancer, cause birth defects, or impair a vaccinee’s ability to have children. That’s a pretty unscientific, unprofessional and immoral claim to make for every vaccine Big Pharma produces and $ell $, especially since Congress gave vaccine makers “a get out of jail free” card in 1986 with passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that exonerates vaccine producers from any legal or financial responsibilities for health damages their vaccines cause. Case closed, healthcare consumer! Buy our product; get hurt and you’re on your own—screwed!
Vaccine Ingredients and Possible Problems
On page 1 of Merck’s MMR vaccine package insert under “Description,” we find this:
The growth medium for measles and mumps is Medium 199 (a buffered salt solution containing vitamins and amino acids and supplemented with fetal bovine serum) containing SPGA (sucrose, phosphate, glutamate, and recombinant human albumin) as stabilizer and neomycin. [….] Each dose of the vaccine is calculated to contain sorbitol (14.5 mg), sodium phosphate, sucrose (1.9 mg), sodium chloride, hydrolyzed gelatin (14.5 mg), recombinant human albumin (≤0.3 mg), fetal bovine serum (<1 ppm), other buffer and media ingredients and approximately 25 mcg of neomycin. The product contains no preservative.
I think that I ought to mention that recombinant human albumin in vaccines just may be problematic and may be involved with what’s called homologous recombination [6], which may cause many adverse reactions affecting DNA, plus at mitochondrial levels.
Furthermore, the Mumps active in the Merck MMR vaccine was fraudulently stated as effective for numerous years until two whistleblowers came forward. There’s a federal lawsuit: Civil Action No. 10-4374, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. See this.
However and rather disconcerting, those who should know better than to pimp an unproven medical procedure—all vaccines are because they have not been tested for abilities to induce cancer and other diseases or health anomalies—are the very ones who profit from them.
Mandatory Vaccines Are Basic Human Rights Issues
Unsuspecting healthcare consumers need to wake up to what’s been pulled over their eyes in plain sight. Don’t you think it would be a good idea if you checked out other vaccine package inserts here to find out what you don’t know about vaccines? My 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, discusses what many of those toxic chemicals can do in the body according to peer review scientific publications.
The other crucially important measles fact to demand, which is germane to the current hysteria, is this: What strain of the measles virus is it? Is it the one in the vaccine? That data should be required by law to be part of the information made public. However, that would be too significant a factoid to reveal, so don’t count on it, as that would blow their cover.
However, the ultimate vaccine issue is that mandatory vaccinations is a basic human rights issues, and don’t let authorities forget that!
No one should be made to put into their bodies, or their children’s bodies, toxic and unproven products whose ingredients have contraindications and can cause adverse events according to the manufacturers’ own admissions on vaccine package inserts. If a parent were to give kids those same ingredients in vaccines, they would be prosecuted for child abuse, and the children taken in to Child Protective Services.
It’s high time we stand up for freedom and constitutional protection from vaccine/vaccination mandates and personal rights abuses at federal and state levels, and demand the right to self-determination regarding our health, its care and practices, and that of our children.

30 Years of Secret Official Transcripts Show UK Government Experts Cover Up Vaccine Hazards
[ED: Readers should note that a paper presented at a scientific conference is a citable reference for publication purposes. That applies to Dr Lucija Tomljenovic’s paper discussed in this article.]
An extraordinary new paper published by a courageous doctor and investigative medical researcher has dug the dirt on 30 years of secret official transcripts of meetings of UK government vaccine committees and the supposedly independent medical “experts” sitting on them with their drug industry connections.
If you want to get an idea of who is responsible for your child’s condition resulting from a vaccine adverse reaction then this is the paper to read.What you have to ask yourself is if the people on these committees are honest and honourable and acting in the best interests of British children, how is it this has been going on for at least 30 years?
This is what everyone has always known but could never prove before now. Pass this information on to others so they can see what goes on in Government health committees behind locked doors.
We quote here from the author’s summary and the paper:
Deliberately concealing information from parents for the sole purpose of getting them to comply with an “official” vaccination schedule could be considered as a form of ethical violation or misconduct. Official documents obtained from the UK Department of Health (DH) and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) reveal that the British health authorities have been engaging in such practice for the last 30 years, apparently for the sole purpose of protecting the national vaccination program.
The 45 page paper with detailed evidence can be downloaded here: The vaccination policy and the Code of Practice of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation JCVI: are they at odds? Lucija Tomljenovic, Neural Dynamics Research Group, Dept. of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. It was presented at and forms part of the proceedings of The 2011 BSEM Scientific Conference now published online here: The Health Hazards of Disease Prevention BSEM Scientific Conference, March 2011.
[ED: BSEM HAVE REORGANISED THEIR WEBSITE AND THIS PAGE NO LONGER EXISTS THERE – Note Added 8 May 2014]
There are other papers also found at that link which you will find an excellent read.
The author, Dr Lucija Tomljenovic writes:
Here I present the documentation which appears to show that the JCVI made continuous efforts to withhold critical data on severe adverse reactions and contraindications to vaccinations to both parents and health practitioners in order to reach overall vaccination rates which they deemed were necessary for “herd immunity”, a concept which with regards to vaccination, and contrary to prevalent beliefs, does not rest on solid scientific evidence as will be explained. As a result of such vaccination policy promoted by the JCVI and the DH, many children have been vaccinated without their parents being disclosed the critical information about demonstrated risks of serious adverse reactions, one that the JCVI appeared to have been fully aware of. It would also appear that, by withholding this information, the JCVI/DH neglected the right of individuals to make an informed consent concerning vaccination. By doing so, the JCVI/DH may have violated not only International Guidelines for Medical Ethics (i.e., Helsinki Declaration and the International Code of Medical Ethics) [2] but also, their own Code of Practice.
[ED: THE UK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH APPEARS TO HAVE CHANGED ALL THE LINKS TO THEIR DOCUMENTS BY ARCHIVING THEM WITH THE UK NATIONAL ARCHIVE – IF READERS WOULD LIKE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND THE CORRECT LINKS ON THE UK NATIONAL ARCHIVE AND POST THEM IN A COMMENT HERE THAT WOULD BE WELCOME – Note Added 9 May 2014]
Dr Lucija Tomljenovic continues:
The transcripts of the JCVI meetings also show that some of the Committee members had extensive ties to pharmaceutical companies and that the JCVI frequently co-operated with vaccine manufacturers on strategies aimed at boosting vaccine uptake. Some of the meetings at which such controversial items were discussed were not intended to be publicly available, as the transcripts were only released later, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). These particular meetings are denoted in the transcripts as “commercial in confidence”, and reveal a clear and disturbing lack of transparency, as some of the information was removed from the text (i.e., the names of the participants) prior to transcript release under the FOI section at the JCVI website (for example, JCVI CSM/DH (Committee on the Safety of Medicines/Department of Health) Joint Committee on Adverse Reactions Minutes 1986-1992).
In summary, the transcripts of the JCVI/DH meetings from the period from 1983 to 2010 appear to show that:
1: Instead of reacting appropriately by re-examining existing vaccination policies when safety concerns over specific vaccines were identified by their own investigations, the JCVI either a) took no action, b) skewed or selectively removed unfavourable safety data from public reports and c) made intensive efforts to reassure both the public and the authorities in the safety of respective vaccines;
2: Significantly restricted contraindication to vaccination criteria in order to increase vaccination rates despite outstanding and unresolved safety issues;3: On multiple occasions requested from vaccine manufacturers to make specific amendments to their data sheets, when these were in conflict with JCVI’s official advices on immunisations;4: Persistently relied on methodologically dubious studies, while dismissing independent research, to promote vaccine policies;5: Persistently and categorically downplayed safety concerns while over-inflating vaccine benefits;6: Promoted and elaborated a plan for introducing new vaccines of questionable efficacy and safety into the routine paediatric schedule, on the assumption that the licenses would eventually be granted;7: Actively discouraged research on vaccine safety issues;8: Deliberately took advantage of parents’ trust and lack of relevant knowledge on vaccinations in order to promote a scientifically unsupported immunisation program which could put certain children at risk of severe long-term neurological damage;Notably, all of these actions appear to violate the JCVI’s own Code of Practice.
Read the paper here for the full evidence to back up these conclusions in its 45 pages. An excellent piece of investigative research:

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Time for a Wake Up Call – The Vaccination Hoax Debunked!
The only safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used.
– Dr. James A. Shannon. National Institutes of Health
Are you scared when you’re told you have to vaccinate your child with 49 doses in 14 vaccines before age 6? Or are you scared at the idea of not vaccinating and so “exposing” your child to serious illnesses? Are you scared about the school threatening you that if you don’t vaccinate you can’t enroll your child?
FEAR. That’s what all these pro-vaccine campaigns are based on. As a parent, what’s the biggest scare of all? When your child gets sick with a serious disease and you feel responsible for that. As you see, vaccine supporters couldn’t go wrong with this and developed a dogma that’s been bought over and over again over the years by people. The magic insurance policy to solve it all.
So, even if your child gets sick, at least you know you did everything you could for his/her health and vaccinated, right? But what if the very vaccination is able to cause the illness in the first place??
Could The Vaccine Hoax Be Over?

The author, Dr Lucija Tomljenovic writes:
A short summary of the most important arguments that support NON-VACCINATION:
◘ Vaccines contain a combination of at least 39 different highly toxic metals, cancer causing substances, toxic chemicals, live and genetically modified viruses, bacteria, contaminated serum containing animal viruses and foreign genetic material, extremely toxic de-contaminants and adjuvants, untested antibiotics, none of which can be injected without causing any harm. Vaccine contaminants have included bovine (cow), avian (chicken) and monkey viruses and bacteria such as streptococcus in the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine [Pediatrics, Vol. 75, No. 2, Feb 1985] and Serratia marcesens in the influenza vaccines [2004 influenza season].
◘ There is no scientific study to determine whether vaccines have really prevented diseases. Rather disease graphs show vaccines have been introduced at the end of epidemics when the disease was already in its last stages. In case of Small Pox the vaccine actually caused a great spurt in the incidence of disease before public outcry led to its withdrawal.
◘ There are no long-term studies on vaccine safety. Very short-term tests are carried out where the vaccinated subjects are checked against another group who are given another vaccine. Technically the tests should be carried out against a non-vaccinated group. No one really knows what protocols are followed at such industry based or industry sponsored trials.
◘ The mercury, aluminum and live viruses in vaccines may be behind the huge epidemic of autism (1 in 110 in the USA), a fact that has been admitted by the US Vaccine Court. About 83 suspected cases of vaccines causing autism have been awarded compensation.
◘ Both the Small Pox and the Oral Polio Vaccine are made from monkey serum. This serum has helped many monkey viruses to enter the human blood stream. Out of these, the only researched virus, SV 40, has been found to be cancerous. These viruses continue to be in the vaccines. The presence of SV 40 in various human cancers has been demonstrated. Today it is known that the virus is being passed on to future generations as its presence in the mother’s milk and human sperms has been established.
◘ The number of polio cases was declining before the widespread administration of the Salk vaccine. Cases which had previously been reported as polio are now reported as meningitis. The risk of contracting polio from the live virus vaccine is greater than the risk of acquiring the disease from naturally occurring viruses.
◘ Many doctors argue that diseases during childhood are due to the body exercising its immune system. Suppressing these diseases causes the immune system to remain undeveloped causing the various autoimmune disorders in adults like diabetes and arthritis that have become epidemics today.
◘ Vaccines suppress the natural immunity and the body does not have natural antibodies anymore. The mother’s milk therefore does not contain natural antibodies and can no longer protect the child against illnesses.
◘ In the USA vaccine adverse effects are recorded and the Government offers compensation of millions of dollars to victims (the most recent case in its Vaccine Court may have received upto $200 million in damages). The courts in the USA have paid nearly $ 2 billion in damages so far.
◘ Vaccines try to create humoral (blood related immunity) whereas it has been found that immunity is developed at various levels: humoral, cellular, and organ specific. We still do not know enough about the human immune system and therefore should not interfere with it.
◘ In addition to childhood vaccination, new “hypes” like the Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Gardasil for HPV virus and the annual flu vaccine are continuing the to damage people’s health all throughout their life. Yves Thomas, the head of the National Influenza Centre in Geneva said that, “The debate and the arguments that surrounded the A(H1N1) influenza virus two years ago have sharpened public mistrust toward the seasonal flu vaccine.” In 2010, the World Health Organisation (WHO) was accused of dramatizing worldwide influenza cases in order to result in much higher vaccine sales since many countries had signed contracts with a stipulation to automatically buy vaccines when the WHO gave the highest alert level.
A Few Questions To Ask Your Doctor
Don’t let yourself intimidated by medical doctors, they are NOT Gods and they surely are misinformed, many of them are corrupted or don’t want to acknowledge the dangers of vaccines. Most schools will offer you a waiver if you ask for one. There is NO law that can deny you that. Exemptions are typically for people who have compromised immune systems, allergies to the components used in vaccinations, or strongly held objections. All states but West Virginia and Mississippi allow religious exemptions, and twenty states allow parents to cite personal or philosophical objections. Get yourself educated on the matter, it’s about the life of your child!
ASK QUESTIONS like these:
1. What are the serious negative health effects that these vaccines can generate? Are the risks worth the benefits?
2. Dr. Michel Odent has linked asthma to the whooping cough vaccine. Have you read his research? What do you think?
3. Professor Wakefield (UK) has linked autism and Chrones disease to the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. What do you think? What evidence do you have to back up your opinions?
4. Why is the same dose of vaccines given to a two month old as for a 5 year old?
5. Are you aware that Japan changed the start time for vaccinating from 3 months to two years and straight away their SIDS rate plummeted?
6. Do you believe in herd immunity? If so, how is it that 98% of U.S.A. children are vaccinated yet they still have outbreaks of these diseases?
7. Most diseases were already 90% gone before any vaccines were introduced. If this is so, how can vaccines be applauded for diseases ceasing, especially when there were no vaccines for some diseases like bubonic plague and scarlet fever?
8. How can the Tetanus vaccine induce immunity, when contracting the disease naturally does not give immunity?
9. If the so-called diphtheria vaccine, which is in fact a toxoid, works against the toxin produced by the bacteria, and not against the bacteria itself, then how did this “vaccine” help in the decline in diphtheria?

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Why We Declined the MMR Vaccine (Part 1- Measles)
With the recent measles outbreaks being covered extensively in the media, public opinion is once again pointing fingers at the “anti-vax” crowd.
I can’t speak for other parents but here are 9 reasons why we actually declined the MMR vaccine.
First, let’s take a look at what the MMR is.
The MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine used to prevent infection and transmission of three diseases: measles, mumps and rubella. You can also get the MMR as a combination vaccine with varicella (chickenpox). Both vaccines are manufactured by Merck.
Because the MMR was created for three different disease strains, my husband and I looked at each disease individually when deciding whether or not to get the MMR vaccine for our kids. This post will cover the reasons why we declined the measles vaccine specifically. Even if the MMR were available as three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, our decision for the measles vaccine would be the same.
Why We Declined the Measles Vaccine
1. Measles in the U.S. is almost always an uncomplicated disease that can be treated at home.
WebMD describes measles as:
About 30% of all cases develop a complication. The most common complications are diarrhea, ear infection and pneumonia. Complications are more common in immunocompromised patients.
Less common complications include acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), which happens in about 1 out of every 1,000 cases, and an extremely rare condition called SSPE (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis). SSPE occurs in about 2 out of every 100,000 cases of wild (naturally caught) measles. It appears 7-10 years after the initial measles infection and is always fatal.
The death rate for measles is about 1-2 out of every 1,000 cases (or 0.1%). Update to clarify: this number represents reported cases. The CDC estimates that while there were 500,000 cases of measles reported each year before the vaccine, there was an estimated total number of 3-4 million cases. The death rate before the vaccine including unreported cases was about 1 death for every 8,000 total estimated number of measles cases in the U.S.
While these serious complications can be scary, they are very rare and in the U.S. almost all children safely recover from measles within about 5-10 days.
2. Complications from measles can be cut by 50% with vitamin A supplements.
Vitamin A supplements given in proper dosages have shown to reduce the risk of measles complications and death by as much as 50%. Severe measles infection is more likely in malnourished and vitamin A deficient individuals, such as children in third world countries.
3. Measles deaths had already dropped 98.5% before the vaccine was released.
From the year 1900-1920 there was an average of 8,800 measles deaths in the United States every year. From 1921-1930 that number dropped to an average of 6,100 deaths. It dropped further still between 1931-1940 with an average of 2,700 deaths, and again between 1941 and 1950 with an average of 1,100 deaths per year. Between 1951 and 1960 there was an average of almost 500 deaths from measles per year in the United States, down 98.5% from the year 1900. The measles vaccine wasn’t licensed for use in the United States until 1963.
The graph below shows the decline in measles deaths up to 1960, three years before the vaccine was introduced.
While measles remained at an average of about 500,000 cases per year, there were now only about 48,000 hospitalizations every year and an average of about 500 deaths. (To put those numbers in perspective, each year in the United Statesbetween 55,000 and 80,000 people are hospitalized and 500 die from Tylenol overdoses).
The vaccine certainly brought down the number of measles cases in the U.S. We now average about 60-100 cases per year. But when you look at the numbers from previous years it’s apparent that with advancements in nutrition, sanitation and medicine, the numbers show measles shifting from a deadly disease into a more mild one with each passing decade- before the vaccine was even in use.
4. There are always measles cases in the U.S., despite high vaccination rates.
There has never been a case of zero measles in the U.S., despite what some media sources may want you to believe.
It’s also not true that measles is making a come-back because more people are opting out of the vaccine. In fact, vaccination rates for measles were at 88% in 1995. Since then vaccination rates have gone up and have hovered between 90% and 93%. Update: As the chart below shows, measles cases have continued to rise despite vaccination rates remaining stable.
5. Because the vaccine has risks, too, including the risks associated with the wild measles virus.
The government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)- where care providers, parents or others can report adverse events after vaccination- has nearly 70,000 adverse events reported for measles-containing vaccines to date.
An alarming 74% of these reports were children under the age of 6.
Of these reports, over 1,300 cases were disabled by their adverse event (such as loss of hearing or ability to walk), and 1,000 were considered life-threatening events. Almost 400 deaths were reported.
Because VAERS is used on a voluntary basis, there are many limiting factors. For example, people can report events that may not be linked to the vaccine. Or, doctors might receive notice of an adverse event from a patient and forget to (or choose not to) file an official report with VAERS. Most parents are unaware that they should report adverse events to the VAERS database, or they don’t know how.
It is estimated that only 1% to 10% off adverse events are reported to VAERS. If those numbers are accurate, the adverse reactions, complications and deaths from the MMR vaccine are far higher than the VAERS numbers.
VAERS may be more anecdotal than evidence-based but it’s not the only source of information for the MMR vaccine’s risks.
Let’s dive into the package insert for the MMR.
The package inserts states:
Under Contraindications (those who should not be vaccinated for specific reasons) it lists the immunocompromised:
Listed under contraindications:
Warnings listed in the package insert include caution to those with a history of cerebral-injury, a family or personal history of convulsions or other conditions in which fever should be avoided.
More warnings:
What about vaccine-related measles? Can a child catch measles from the vaccine, or from someone who was recently vaccinated?
The package insert says:
Actually, there have indeed been cases of vaccine-associated measles (with symptoms that were characterized as indistinguishable from wild type measles), AND secondary transmission from one of the individuals infected by the measles vaccine.
Further down in the package insert, there’s a statement that says:
This is known as informed consent. Yet this study shows that at well-child care doctor visits, a median time of only 1.9 minutes is spent on vaccine discussion and an additional 1.6 minutes on vaccine administration. And only 5% of families read vaccine information materials. Is that enough time to accurately discuss the benefits AND risks of vaccination? Is it possible to go over family history, previous vaccination history, questions about the disease, adverse reactions to watch for after vaccination, and any patient concerns in less than 2 minutes? If possible, is it wise to rush through such an important topic?
Under the section entitled “Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility M-M-R II the package insert states that the vaccine “has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or potential to impair fertility.” ”
(Emphasis in bold added by me.)
The MMR vaccine is a category C during pregnancy, which means it is not known whether it can cause fetal harm and should not be administered to pregnant women, and pregnancy should be avoided for 3 months following vaccination with MMR.
Following are the listed adverse reactions in the package insert:

6. We do not want the ingredients of the MMR vaccine injected into our child.
You can find a list of the ingredients used in both of the available MMR vaccines HERE.
When our bodies are infected with a virus, the virus enters our body through the mouth, nose, eyes, or openings in our skin. Once they enter our body, they latch on and start reproducing. From there they travel to other organs and tissues in our body. Our immune systems are far more complicated than an antibody response against a foreign invader. For example, if a virus enters our body through the mouth or nose, it has to pass through our body’s natural defenses against disease: mucous, tonsils, the thymus, our lymph nodes, vessels and spleen all help to protect our body against disease.
In contrast, vaccines bypass our body’s natural barriers and elicit an imbalanced immune response, which is why immunity from vaccines is not always effective and doesn’t confer life-long immunity like a wild virus (and why we need booster shots to continue to prevent disease once we are vaccinated).
Not only is the virus or bacteria strain in the vaccine bypassing our body’s natural barriers, the other ingredients in the vaccine are as well. While it’s true that many of these chemicals and toxins are found in the food we eat and the air we breathe, when we ingest or breathe them in in the natural way, they are passing through our body’s barriers. Our body works to absorb and clear them slowly.
I wouldn’t liquify my pear in a blender and inject it with a needle into my body.
7. My doctor has not given me a reason to get the MMR. In fact, no doctor or scientist has given me a good enough reason yet.
One of the main reasons vaccination is often recommended is to keep up “herd immunity”. Even if I believed herd immunity worked when applied to vaccination (which I don’t), I’m not the type to sacrifice my child for “the greater good”. My general thought-process when someone brings up herd immunity is, Wait… you want me to subject my child to all of those ingredients, potential side effects and reactions, based on a few studies that when looked at in depth don’t actually say anything- so that the neighbor kid doesn’t get a rash for a few days?
Here is a list of studies that the CDC lists on their “Concerns about Autism” page (presumably to show that vaccines are safe and don’t lead to autism):
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/00_pdf/CDCStudiesonVaccinesandAutism.pdf
This list is intended to show that vaccines are safe and not connected with autism. Yet here is what is on the list of 9 studies:
The first study listed looked at exposure to antibody-stimulating proteins (also known as antigens) in vaccines. The antigen in the vaccine is the specific virus or bacteria. For example, the antigens in the MMR vaccine are measles, mumps and rubella. The study did not look at any other part of vaccines. Not the preservatives. Not the formaldehyde. Not the adjuvants (like aluminum). Just the strain of the virus or bacteria itself.
Four studies on the list look at the MMR vaccine specifically (even though this research is supposed to prove that vaccines- not just the MMR vaccine- are safe).
The first study that mentions the MMR vaccine is the well-known and much-quoted Danish study. Ahh, the Danish study. If you look at the list of authors listed under the Danish study you will see the name Poul Thorsen. Here’s what the government has to say about an author of a study that they themselves endorse to prove vaccine safety (from https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/fugitives/profiles.asp)
OIG Fugitive: Poul Thorsen
Should we trust a study co-authored by this guy?? The CDC apparently thinks we should.
The next study that compared what age autistic kids had been vaccinated at compared with similar aged non-autistic kids.
In other words, kids who had autism were vaccinated around the same age as their peers who didn’t have autism. So getting vaccinated at a certain age doesn’t cause autism. Yep, people actually spent money and time researching that.
The third study looked at the presence of measles virus RNA in bowel tissue in children with autism and gastrointestinal tract (GI) disorders compared to children with GI disorders who didn’t have autism. The most obvious issue with this study is that ALL of the children were vaccinated and ALL of the children had GI disorders.
The final study examining the MMR vaccine studies autistic children with regression (when the child is developing typically and then regresses and is eventually diagnosed with autism) compared to autistic children with no regression (children who had atypical development all along). The study says:
The study admits in the Discussion section that the findings to both questions were “mixed”.
The study also admits:
However they then go on to explain that the age of an autism diagnosis generally happens later in children with regression which explains why it is more likely to follow vaccination.
ALL of the rest of the studies look at thimerosal in vaccines. That’s it. Thimerosal isn’t even in most childhood vaccines anymore and it was never in the MMR vaccines. And if you want to examine those studies for yourself you’ll see several flaws in them as well. But that’s for another post.
Some evidence, huh?
8. My instinct told me to.
Wait… I chose not to vaccinate my children against measles because of… Instinct?
What does instinct have to do with anything, and why would we base such an important decision on it?
For us, it had everything to do with it.
It started when I was about 8 months pregnant and a friend of mine mentioned that she was skipping one or two vaccines from the recommended schedule for her kids.
I remember thinking, You can do that?
That’s when I started researching. I talked to doctors. I talked to friends who vaccinated. I talked to friends who didn’t vaccinate. I read studies. I read the CDC’s Pink Book.
At first, we decided to follow the alternative schedule in Dr. Sears’ book, The Vaccine Book.
We took our daughter for her first vaccinations at two months old. The doctor breezed in the room. I gathered my courage, prepared for a lengthy discussion about the risks and benefits of vaccination.
“We were thinking of starting out with just a few…” I started.
“Let’s start with DTap, polio and HIB,” the Dr. said. “They come in a combo vax called Pentacel, so it’s just one shot. Sound good?”
I agreed quickly, relieved that he wasn’t pushing any of the others for the time being.
My daughter showed no outwards signs of an adverse reaction. We vaccinated her again at her 4 month appointment and at her 6 month appointment. The shot itself didn’t bother me. She hardly cried with the needle poked her skin. I breastfed her immediately after. I thought I was doing the right thing.
But it felt so wrong.
I don’t believe mothers have instincts for no reason. I hear so many moms say, “I felt so awful about my poor baby getting shots. I didn’t want to do it. It just didn’t feel right. But I know I’m doing what’s best for her.”
But how do I know I’m doing what’s best for her? What studies have I read? What research have I done? What if my instinct is trying to tell me something?
9. There is some evidence that wild measles could be beneficial.
Several studies show how having measles can be beneficial, such as this one which states an associated between a negative history of measles and “immunoreactive diseases, sebaceous skin diseases, degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage, and certain tumours” later in life.
A study done in 1985 showed that having the measles before college-age reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease later in life. This study was confirmed in 2012, when researchers in Canada stated that measles infection reduces a risk of developing Parkinson’s disease later in life by 35%.
One study found a “large reduction” in the risk of atopy in children in Africa. (What is atopy and how is it different than allergies?)
In women who have had wild measles infection and breastfeed, antibodies are passed through the milk, giving their infants stronger protection against the disease than if they had just been vaccinated for it.
Having measles confers life-long immunity.
As with any vaccine, parents need to research deeper than just a few media articles before making their decision.
It’s not about popular opinion- it’s about what’s best for our children. Current research, recommendations, doctor’s advice, gut instinct, family history, our children’s personal history (however small), risk of short-term consequences from disease and from the vaccine, and risk of long-term consequences from the disease and the vaccine… all of these are things we considered when looking at the MMR vaccine.
So the next time a media article blames the “anti-vaccination movement”, or uneducated parents, do a little more research.
With the recent measles outbreaks being covered extensively in the media, public opinion is once again pointing fingers at the “anti-vax” crowd.
I can’t speak for other parents but here are 9 reasons why we actually declined the MMR vaccine.
First, let’s take a look at what the MMR is.
The MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine used to prevent infection and transmission of three diseases: measles, mumps and rubella. You can also get the MMR as a combination vaccine with varicella (chickenpox). Both vaccines are manufactured by Merck.
Because the MMR was created for three different disease strains, my husband and I looked at each disease individually when deciding whether or not to get the MMR vaccine for our kids. This post will cover the reasons why we declined the measles vaccine specifically. Even if the MMR were available as three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, our decision for the measles vaccine would be the same.
Why We Declined the Measles Vaccine
1. Measles in the U.S. is almost always an uncomplicated disease that can be treated at home.
WebMD describes measles as:
The first symptoms of measles are like a bad cold—a high fever, a runny nose, sneezing, a sore throat, and a hacking cough. The lymph nodes in your neck may swell. You also may feel very tired and have diarrhea and red, sore eyes. As these symptoms start to go away, you will get red spots inside your mouth, followed by a rash all over your body. When adults get measles, they usually feel worse than children who get it.
About 30% of all cases develop a complication. The most common complications are diarrhea, ear infection and pneumonia. Complications are more common in immunocompromised patients.
Less common complications include acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), which happens in about 1 out of every 1,000 cases, and an extremely rare condition called SSPE (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis). SSPE occurs in about 2 out of every 100,000 cases of wild (naturally caught) measles. It appears 7-10 years after the initial measles infection and is always fatal.
The death rate for measles is about 1-2 out of every 1,000 cases (or 0.1%). Update to clarify: this number represents reported cases. The CDC estimates that while there were 500,000 cases of measles reported each year before the vaccine, there was an estimated total number of 3-4 million cases. The death rate before the vaccine including unreported cases was about 1 death for every 8,000 total estimated number of measles cases in the U.S.
While these serious complications can be scary, they are very rare and in the U.S. almost all children safely recover from measles within about 5-10 days.
2. Complications from measles can be cut by 50% with vitamin A supplements.
Vitamin A supplements given in proper dosages have shown to reduce the risk of measles complications and death by as much as 50%. Severe measles infection is more likely in malnourished and vitamin A deficient individuals, such as children in third world countries.
3. Measles deaths had already dropped 98.5% before the vaccine was released.
From the year 1900-1920 there was an average of 8,800 measles deaths in the United States every year. From 1921-1930 that number dropped to an average of 6,100 deaths. It dropped further still between 1931-1940 with an average of 2,700 deaths, and again between 1941 and 1950 with an average of 1,100 deaths per year. Between 1951 and 1960 there was an average of almost 500 deaths from measles per year in the United States, down 98.5% from the year 1900. The measles vaccine wasn’t licensed for use in the United States until 1963.
The graph below shows the decline in measles deaths up to 1960, three years before the vaccine was introduced.
Mama Brave’s graph created from statistics provided by the CDC. The graph shows the decline in measles deaths up until 1960- three years before the vaccine was introduced. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/vsus.htm
While measles remained at an average of about 500,000 cases per year, there were now only about 48,000 hospitalizations every year and an average of about 500 deaths. (To put those numbers in perspective, each year in the United Statesbetween 55,000 and 80,000 people are hospitalized and 500 die from Tylenol overdoses).
The vaccine certainly brought down the number of measles cases in the U.S. We now average about 60-100 cases per year. But when you look at the numbers from previous years it’s apparent that with advancements in nutrition, sanitation and medicine, the numbers show measles shifting from a deadly disease into a more mild one with each passing decade- before the vaccine was even in use.
4. There are always measles cases in the U.S., despite high vaccination rates.
There has never been a case of zero measles in the U.S., despite what some media sources may want you to believe.
It’s also not true that measles is making a come-back because more people are opting out of the vaccine. In fact, vaccination rates for measles were at 88% in 1995. Since then vaccination rates have gone up and have hovered between 90% and 93%. Update: As the chart below shows, measles cases have continued to rise despite vaccination rates remaining stable.
Number of measles cases from 2000-2014. *Update: The final number for 2014 was 644 cases of measles. 383 of these cases represent one outbreak among the Amish community in Ohio. Update to also add percentage of targeted population vaccinated for measles, which was 91.9% for 2013.
5. Because the vaccine has risks, too, including the risks associated with the wild measles virus.
The government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)- where care providers, parents or others can report adverse events after vaccination- has nearly 70,000 adverse events reported for measles-containing vaccines to date.
An alarming 74% of these reports were children under the age of 6.
Of these reports, over 1,300 cases were disabled by their adverse event (such as loss of hearing or ability to walk), and 1,000 were considered life-threatening events. Almost 400 deaths were reported.
Because VAERS is used on a voluntary basis, there are many limiting factors. For example, people can report events that may not be linked to the vaccine. Or, doctors might receive notice of an adverse event from a patient and forget to (or choose not to) file an official report with VAERS. Most parents are unaware that they should report adverse events to the VAERS database, or they don’t know how.
It is estimated that only 1% to 10% off adverse events are reported to VAERS. If those numbers are accurate, the adverse reactions, complications and deaths from the MMR vaccine are far higher than the VAERS numbers.
VAERS may be more anecdotal than evidence-based but it’s not the only source of information for the MMR vaccine’s risks.
Let’s dive into the package insert for the MMR.
The package inserts states:
Postpubertal females should be informed of the frequent occurrence of generally self-limited arthralgia and/or arthritis beginning 2 to 4 weeks after vaccination.
Under Contraindications (those who should not be vaccinated for specific reasons) it lists the immunocompromised:
Measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), pneumonitis and death as a direct consequence of disseminated measles vaccine virus infection have been reported in immunocompromised individuals inadvertently vaccinated with measles-containing vaccine.
Listed under contraindications:
Individuals with a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency, until the immune competence of the potential vaccine recipient is demonstrated.
Warnings listed in the package insert include caution to those with a history of cerebral-injury, a family or personal history of convulsions or other conditions in which fever should be avoided.
More warnings:
Hypersensitivity to Eggs- Live measles vaccine and live mumps vaccine are produced in chick embryo cell culture. Persons with a history of anaphylactic, anaphylactoid, or other immediate reactions (eg., hives, swelling of the mouth and throat, difficulty breathing, hypotension, or shock) subsequent to egg ingestion may be at an enhanced risk of immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions after receiving vaccines containing traces of chick embryo antigen. The potential risk to benefit ratio should be care fully evaluated before considering vaccination in such cases. Such individuals may be vaccinated with extreme caution, having adequate treatment on hand should a reaction occur.
What about vaccine-related measles? Can a child catch measles from the vaccine, or from someone who was recently vaccinated?
The package insert says:
There are no reports of transmission of live attenuated measles or mumps viruses from vaccinees to susceptible contacts.
Actually, there have indeed been cases of vaccine-associated measles (with symptoms that were characterized as indistinguishable from wild type measles), AND secondary transmission from one of the individuals infected by the measles vaccine.
Further down in the package insert, there’s a statement that says:
The health-care provider should provide the vaccine information required to be given with each vaccination to the patient, parent, or guardian. The health-care provider should inform the patient, parent, or guardian of the benefits and risks associated with vaccination. For risks associated with vaccination.
This is known as informed consent. Yet this study shows that at well-child care doctor visits, a median time of only 1.9 minutes is spent on vaccine discussion and an additional 1.6 minutes on vaccine administration. And only 5% of families read vaccine information materials. Is that enough time to accurately discuss the benefits AND risks of vaccination? Is it possible to go over family history, previous vaccination history, questions about the disease, adverse reactions to watch for after vaccination, and any patient concerns in less than 2 minutes? If possible, is it wise to rush through such an important topic?
Under the section entitled “Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility M-M-R II the package insert states that the vaccine “has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or potential to impair fertility.” ”
(Emphasis in bold added by me.)
The MMR vaccine is a category C during pregnancy, which means it is not known whether it can cause fetal harm and should not be administered to pregnant women, and pregnancy should be avoided for 3 months following vaccination with MMR.
Following are the listed adverse reactions in the package insert:

6. We do not want the ingredients of the MMR vaccine injected into our child.
You can find a list of the ingredients used in both of the available MMR vaccines HERE.
When our bodies are infected with a virus, the virus enters our body through the mouth, nose, eyes, or openings in our skin. Once they enter our body, they latch on and start reproducing. From there they travel to other organs and tissues in our body. Our immune systems are far more complicated than an antibody response against a foreign invader. For example, if a virus enters our body through the mouth or nose, it has to pass through our body’s natural defenses against disease: mucous, tonsils, the thymus, our lymph nodes, vessels and spleen all help to protect our body against disease.
Components of the Immune System

In contrast, vaccines bypass our body’s natural barriers and elicit an imbalanced immune response, which is why immunity from vaccines is not always effective and doesn’t confer life-long immunity like a wild virus (and why we need booster shots to continue to prevent disease once we are vaccinated).

I wouldn’t liquify my pear in a blender and inject it with a needle into my body.
7. My doctor has not given me a reason to get the MMR. In fact, no doctor or scientist has given me a good enough reason yet.
One of the main reasons vaccination is often recommended is to keep up “herd immunity”. Even if I believed herd immunity worked when applied to vaccination (which I don’t), I’m not the type to sacrifice my child for “the greater good”. My general thought-process when someone brings up herd immunity is, Wait… you want me to subject my child to all of those ingredients, potential side effects and reactions, based on a few studies that when looked at in depth don’t actually say anything- so that the neighbor kid doesn’t get a rash for a few days?
Here is a list of studies that the CDC lists on their “Concerns about Autism” page (presumably to show that vaccines are safe and don’t lead to autism):
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/00_pdf/CDCStudiesonVaccinesandAutism.pdf
This list is intended to show that vaccines are safe and not connected with autism. Yet here is what is on the list of 9 studies:
The first study listed looked at exposure to antibody-stimulating proteins (also known as antigens) in vaccines. The antigen in the vaccine is the specific virus or bacteria. For example, the antigens in the MMR vaccine are measles, mumps and rubella. The study did not look at any other part of vaccines. Not the preservatives. Not the formaldehyde. Not the adjuvants (like aluminum). Just the strain of the virus or bacteria itself.
Four studies on the list look at the MMR vaccine specifically (even though this research is supposed to prove that vaccines- not just the MMR vaccine- are safe).
The first study that mentions the MMR vaccine is the well-known and much-quoted Danish study. Ahh, the Danish study. If you look at the list of authors listed under the Danish study you will see the name Poul Thorsen. Here’s what the government has to say about an author of a study that they themselves endorse to prove vaccine safety (from https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/fugitives/profiles.asp)
OIG Fugitive: Poul Thorsen
- From approximately February 2004 until February 2010, Poul Thorsen executed a scheme to steal grant money awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC had awarded grant money to Denmark for research involving infant disabilities, autism, genetic disorders, and fetal alcohol syndrome. CDC awarded the grant to fund studies of the relationship between autism and the exposure to vaccines, the relationship between cerebral palsy and infection during pregnancy, and the relationship between developmental outcomes and fetal alcohol exposure.
- Thorsen worked as a visiting scientist at CDC, Division of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, before the grant was awarded.
- The initial grant was awarded to the Danish Medical Research Council. In approximately 2007, a second grant was awarded to the Danish Agency for Science, Technology, and Innovation. Both agencies are governmental agencies in Denmark. The research was done by the Aarhaus University and Odense University Hospital in Denmark.
- Thorsen allegedly diverted over $1 million of the CDC grant money to his own personal bank account. Thorsen submitted fraudulent invoices on CDC letterhead to medical facilities assisting in the research for reimbursement of work allegedly covered by the grants. The invoices were addressed to Aarhaus University and Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The fact that the invoices were on CDC letterhead made it appear that CDC was requesting the money from Aarhaus University and Sahlgrenska University Hospital although the bank account listed on the invoices belonged to Thorsen.
- In April 2011, Thorsen was indicted on 22 counts of Wire Fraud and Money Laundering.
- According to bank account records, Thorsen purchased a home in Atlanta, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, an Audi automobile, and a Honda SUV with funds that he received from the CDC grants.
- Thorsen is currently in Denmark and is awaiting extradition to the United States.
Should we trust a study co-authored by this guy?? The CDC apparently thinks we should.
The next study that compared what age autistic kids had been vaccinated at compared with similar aged non-autistic kids.
Results- Similar proportions of case and control children were vaccinated by the recommended age or shortly after (ie, before 18 months) and before the age by which atypical development is usually recognized in children with autism (ie, 24 months). Vaccination before 36 months was more common among case children than control children, especially among children 3 to 5 years of age, likely reflecting immunization requirements for enrollment in early intervention programs.
In other words, kids who had autism were vaccinated around the same age as their peers who didn’t have autism. So getting vaccinated at a certain age doesn’t cause autism. Yep, people actually spent money and time researching that.
The third study looked at the presence of measles virus RNA in bowel tissue in children with autism and gastrointestinal tract (GI) disorders compared to children with GI disorders who didn’t have autism. The most obvious issue with this study is that ALL of the children were vaccinated and ALL of the children had GI disorders.
The final study examining the MMR vaccine studies autistic children with regression (when the child is developing typically and then regresses and is eventually diagnosed with autism) compared to autistic children with no regression (children who had atypical development all along). The study says:
This study addressed two questions: First, is there evidence for a ‘regressive phenotype’ of ASD? Second, is regression in ASD associated with the MMR vaccine?
The study admits in the Discussion section that the findings to both questions were “mixed”.
The study also admits:
As predicted, a significantly greater proportion of children with regression had onset following vaccination, as compared to children without regression.
However they then go on to explain that the age of an autism diagnosis generally happens later in children with regression which explains why it is more likely to follow vaccination.
ALL of the rest of the studies look at thimerosal in vaccines. That’s it. Thimerosal isn’t even in most childhood vaccines anymore and it was never in the MMR vaccines. And if you want to examine those studies for yourself you’ll see several flaws in them as well. But that’s for another post.
Some evidence, huh?
8. My instinct told me to.
Wait… I chose not to vaccinate my children against measles because of… Instinct?
What does instinct have to do with anything, and why would we base such an important decision on it?
For us, it had everything to do with it.
It started when I was about 8 months pregnant and a friend of mine mentioned that she was skipping one or two vaccines from the recommended schedule for her kids.
I remember thinking, You can do that?
That’s when I started researching. I talked to doctors. I talked to friends who vaccinated. I talked to friends who didn’t vaccinate. I read studies. I read the CDC’s Pink Book.
At first, we decided to follow the alternative schedule in Dr. Sears’ book, The Vaccine Book.
We took our daughter for her first vaccinations at two months old. The doctor breezed in the room. I gathered my courage, prepared for a lengthy discussion about the risks and benefits of vaccination.
“We were thinking of starting out with just a few…” I started.
“Let’s start with DTap, polio and HIB,” the Dr. said. “They come in a combo vax called Pentacel, so it’s just one shot. Sound good?”
I agreed quickly, relieved that he wasn’t pushing any of the others for the time being.
My daughter showed no outwards signs of an adverse reaction. We vaccinated her again at her 4 month appointment and at her 6 month appointment. The shot itself didn’t bother me. She hardly cried with the needle poked her skin. I breastfed her immediately after. I thought I was doing the right thing.
But it felt so wrong.
I don’t believe mothers have instincts for no reason. I hear so many moms say, “I felt so awful about my poor baby getting shots. I didn’t want to do it. It just didn’t feel right. But I know I’m doing what’s best for her.”
But how do I know I’m doing what’s best for her? What studies have I read? What research have I done? What if my instinct is trying to tell me something?
9. There is some evidence that wild measles could be beneficial.
Several studies show how having measles can be beneficial, such as this one which states an associated between a negative history of measles and “immunoreactive diseases, sebaceous skin diseases, degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage, and certain tumours” later in life.
A study done in 1985 showed that having the measles before college-age reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease later in life. This study was confirmed in 2012, when researchers in Canada stated that measles infection reduces a risk of developing Parkinson’s disease later in life by 35%.
One study found a “large reduction” in the risk of atopy in children in Africa. (What is atopy and how is it different than allergies?)
In women who have had wild measles infection and breastfeed, antibodies are passed through the milk, giving their infants stronger protection against the disease than if they had just been vaccinated for it.
Having measles confers life-long immunity.
As with any vaccine, parents need to research deeper than just a few media articles before making their decision.
It’s not about popular opinion- it’s about what’s best for our children. Current research, recommendations, doctor’s advice, gut instinct, family history, our children’s personal history (however small), risk of short-term consequences from disease and from the vaccine, and risk of long-term consequences from the disease and the vaccine… all of these are things we considered when looking at the MMR vaccine.
So the next time a media article blames the “anti-vaccination movement”, or uneducated parents, do a little more research.

THE VACCINE CONSPIRACY: U.S. Government Colludes With BIG Pharma To Poison The America People
SUPER-VACCINATION AGENGA
Being Foisted On The USA 24/7
Being Foisted On The USA 24/7
Is the annual flu vaccine program another reckless form of eugenic engineering, a manufactured slow motion genocide, or both?
There should be absolutely no doubt about it: The outrageous and odious childhood vaccination regimes instituted across the 50 states and territories of the USA are the product of a multi-decade conspiracy on the part of the US Federal Government and its many health-related organs and corporate collaborators. Just who are those many co-conspirators?
This conspiratorial group of institutions includes the U.S. Public Health Service, the Center for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, the American Medical and Psychiatric Associations, the American Hospital Association, the Pharmaceutical Industry, the Medical Profession, the Health Insurance Industry, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations. When operating in concert to administer the many vaccination programs throughout the nation, these institutions represent a monolithic bulwark known as the Global Vaccination Complex.
Other major participants include numerous NGOs and ‘health’ charities, universities and research institutions, private foundations and publicly-held corporations. By way of two exceedingly glaring examples, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Doctors Without Borders are both huge sponsors of this ongoing plot to profoundly undermine the health of populations around the world. Bill Gates himself has become one of the biggest purveyors of vaccinations the world has ever seen. His foundation “is the largest private foundation in the world” and therefore capable of doing massive damage to whole nations which buy into their distorted understanding of how to maintain optimal health.
Bill Gates Faces Trial in India for Illegally Testing Tribal Children with Vaccines
Each of these aforementioned entities has been brought into an immense worldwide conspiracy to super-vaccinate every child on the planet for health threats real and imagined, engineered and fabricated. Of course, the 64 thousand dollar question is “Why”?
That they (NWO globalists) have forcefully, yet insidiously, imposed such a worldwide regime of medical terror and health destruction is without question. Exactly who has perpetrated this crime against the children of the world has been partially established above. “How” they did it will now be disclosed … … … before the “Why” is revealed.
Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution
In every single case where a new, frightening, highly fatal infectious disease or epidemic has mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, the following MO has been followed with precision.
First, the original agent of infection can always be traced back to a U.S. or U.K. or Israeli biowarfare laboratory all of which have been established to create bioweapons of mass destruction. Through extremely advanced forms of genetic modification, various types of pathogenic microbes are specifically designed to trigger a major disease outbreak. Various pathogenic multicellular and micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses and parasites), fungi, mycoplasmas and the like, are bio-engineered in such a way so as to precipitate a specific medical crisis and/or public health disaster after their surreptitious release into the ambient environment of any targeted locale or community, city or nation.
Each ensuing medical emergency that is manufactured in this manner is carefully coordinated to elicit a desired response from the affected populace. Likewise, every burgeoning health catastrophe is meticulously orchestrated according to an explicit agenda. This first piece represents the “problem” in the heretofore infallible “Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution” formula.
By way of illustration, the purpose behind each flu epidemic may be different depending on its location and marked population. Those influenzas which target the Asian Rim countries, for instance, are biological weapons genetically engineered to exploit weaknesses in the oriental bloodlines and Asian genotype. This type of biowarfare against foreign nations has always emerged at critical times in the relationship between the USA and China, as well as between the U.K. and China.
The various generations of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) that ‘originated’ in China are a perfect example of this bioweaponry at work. So are all the yearly flu bugs that have first ‘appeared’ somewhere in the Asian Rim, such as Hong Kong, over the past many decades. It’s interesting that Hong Kong was ruled for over 150 years by the British up until 1997, and yet they (Great Britain) still exert much clandestine control and “soft power” influence over the entire territory.
Likewise, the many fabricated flu outbreaks in the USA are always used to serve as a pretext for extremely aggressive nationwide vaccination campaigns. How many times have free vaccinations been made available practically everywhere for every age group and demographic? What else is given away free like that on an annual basis? Anything?
Even though the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the flu vaccines always admit that the exact strains currently infecting the people are not addressed by the most recent flu shot, an extraordinary number of people still avail themselves for their regular jab. How dumbed down must those people be to submit themselves and their children to a potentially harmful injection that does not even contain the proper flu vaccine?!
MEASLES MANIA: How the most anti-vaccine county in California got punked
In the most recent vaccine controversy concerning the measles outbreak in California, the measles virus was quite obviously planted in the most anti-vaccine county in California. How better to scare the other half of the population into compliance? Then, the bought government officials, brainwashed medical authorities, and mercenary corporate provocateurs coordinated the second component of the “Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution” equation. Yes, the shrieking REACTION from parents near and far whose children might have been exposed — God forbid!
The unprecedented spate of articles and editorials which have overwhelmed the Mainstream Media (MSM) side of the internet is quite shocking, as in “Shock & Awe”. Which is exactly their strategy — to produce an exaggerated reaction. They are literally executing a pre-planned Shock & Awe implementation plan designed to enforce vaccination compliance by every means possible. Not only are they bringing to bear all the usual public health warnings and alerts, they are efficiently using the ginned up peer pressure generated in Orange County where so many entrenched anti-vaxers have drawn their line in the sand.
It’s very important to note that all traceable vectors of dissemination of this measles ‘outbreak’ originated from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Could the true perpetrators of this fabricated black operation have chosen a more symbolic location? That Orange County has always been the site of one of the most fierce and implacable anti-vaccination movements in the nation only adds to the combustibility of this already highly volatile health issue. Which is exactly why the globalists chose Disneyland as ground zero.
In order for them to effectively implement their Divide and Conquer strategy they ‘wisely’ selected a battleground where the strongest anti-vax organizations have operated with the greatest efficacy. In this way, if the globalists are successful at shutting them down through peer pressure groups and legal challenges being enabled by new state legislation, their dirty work is done for them. Vaccine exemptions may now be a thing of the past if the anti-vaxers don’t respond with their characteristic fury and ferocity.
MEASLES at Disneyland: Located Right in the Heartland of Rabid Anti-Vaccination Country
California has been the epicenter for various healthcare earthquakes since the 1960s.
What the pro-vaccination crowd fails to realize is that the rights of those not to be vaccinated cannot be trumped by those who want to poison their children into Autism and Aspergers, ADD and ADHD. For every ailment and disease that Big Pharma conjures up in their laboratories, there has been a reflex throughout society to take the easy and convenient pharmaceutical approach. Recklessly submitting their babies and school-age children to such an obscene vaccination regime is the product of this unenlightened and disempowering annual vaccination ritual.
Disneyland, and all that it stands for (healthy children having fun in America) is now emblematic of the war between those who will vaccinate whenever they’re told to, and those who have reclaimed their personal sovereignty over their body and their mind. The corporate-government complex that is orchestrating what is perhaps the greatest battle of this never-ending quiet war is truly laughing all the way to the bank.
They really don’t care who wins the ever-intensifying medical debate. The fear-based decision to super-vaccinate already prevails across the nation. However, it remains to be seen whether the anti-vax conviction — that no one is going to introduce toxins/poisons into their child’s body under any circumstances — will succeed on both the legal and legislative fronts. Regardless of which side triumphs, they (Global Vaccination Complex) are well aware that a sufficient number of children will be sickened, diseased and poisoned by so many known toxins that their revenue streams will continue to be guaranteed. After all, the NWO globalists totally control each of the aforementioned entities which make up the Global Vaccination Complex.
Exactly what are the known toxins and poisons, harmful chemicals and contaminants found in most vaccines?
Who hasn’t heard about the preservative thimerosal that contains the poisonous heavy metal known as mercury. How about the known chemical toxin and carcinogen called formaldehyde? Then there is the highly toxic squalene MF59 adjuvant which contributed to Gulf War Syndrome which is now being added to some civilian flu vaccines. Very few are aware but wherever mercury is removed from vaccines, it is often replaced with aluminium, a well-documented neurotoxin that just may be more dangerous than mercury over the long term.
Thimerosal, or sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate, is a preservative used in low concentrations mainly in vaccines, cosmetics, ophthalmic and otolaryngolic medications, antitoxins, topical and intramuscular steroid preparations, and intradermal tests. Thimerosal has two distinctive components, an organic mercury compound and thiosalicylate, both of which are involved in thimerosal allergy.[1]
For a more comprehensive list of the problematic constituents commonly found in vaccines, please consult the following ingredient catalog[2]. Bear in mind that this listing is by no means exhaustive since pharmaceutical companies and vaccine manufacturers are notorious for selectively leaving off ingredients at will. At the end of the day, there is really no way of determining what else they may be putting into these detrimental concoctions. Yes, we’re talking about different types of microchips and nanobots.
Why are known Carcinogens put into vaccines?
That most vaccines contain cancer-causing ingredients has been completely ignored by the MSM, as it has by the medical and scientific research establishment. There are proven carcinogens in a dangerously high percentage of vaccines that are injected into every infant and schoolchild, the elderly and infirmed, the sick and the dying. Formaldehyde is perhaps the best known of these carcinogenic agents found in many vaccines and has been calculated as follows:
Vaccines that contain formaldehyde include nearly all pediatric and adult flu shots; all forms of pediatric and adolescent pertussis vaccines (DTaP and the teen version, Tdap); and injectable polio vaccines (IPV) vaccines. Vaccines given under special circumstances also contain formaldehyde: tetanus boosters (dT, DT and TT), Japanese encephalitis vaccine, rabies vaccines and anthrax vaccine (given as six doses).
Let’s add up the amount of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, is injected into children by the time they are five years of age. Assuming they get all doses of all recommended vaccines on time and according to the 2012 vaccination schedule:
- Hepatitis b – 3 doses x 15 mcg each
- DTaP – 5 doses x 100 mcg each
- Polio (IPV) – 5 doses x 200 mcg each
- Influenza – 6 doses x 25 mcg each
- Hepatitis A – 1 dose x 100 mcg each
Total: 1,795 mcg = 1.795 milligrams
(Source: Formaldehyde in Vaccines » Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center)
Given the meteoric rise in childhood allergies, why are widely recognized allergens present in the vaccination process?
Likewise, there are known allergens which have found their way onto the vaccine manufacturing process as well as the ingredient list. One of the most obvious allergens is egg. As a matter of fact, eggs are still used in the manufacturing process of virtually all influenza vaccines as described by the CDC’s website as follows:
The most common way that flu vaccines are made is using an egg-based manufacturing process that has been in existence for more than 70 years. Egg-based vaccine manufacturing is used to make both inactivated (killed) vaccine (usually called the “flu shot”) and live attenuated (weakened) vaccine (usually called the “nasal spray”).
The egg-based production process begins with CDC or another Influenza Collaborating Center providing private sector manufacturers with vaccine viruses grown in eggs per current FDA regulatory requirements. These vaccine viruses are then injected into fertilized hen’s eggs and incubated for several days to allow the viruses to replicate. The virus-containing fluid is harvested from the eggs.
(Source: CDC — How Influenza (Flu) Vaccines Are Made)
There are other constituents in vaccines which can trigger allergic responses when the individual has been sufficiently sensitized. Then there are countless cases which have been reported that reflect either an intolerance or hypersensitivity to the vaccine itself. Sometimes these situations will manifest as hyper-reactivity to the vaccine contents immediately following the injections; other times severe reactions can develop in a time-delayed manner. In some cases they are fatal if appropriate medical attention is not rendered quickly enough.
There are countless instances where a full-blown disease process has precipitated directly from the vaccination itself. Gulf War Syndrome I and II are both examples of this type of vaccine-triggered disease which the government denied over many years. The deadly combination of various co-factors present among troops who went to Iraq caused the “perfect storm” which has sickened many a service member. In virtually every case it was the extraordinary vaccination regimen, which every American soldier was required to submit to, that seems to have ultimately triggered the Gulf War Illness, as it is also known.
“Multi-Infection Syndromes: Scourge Of The New Millennium“
The many epidemics and chronic diseases of the 3rd millennium are frequently related to the plethora of auto-immune disorders and syndromes.
Known as the New Age Maladies, the third millennium has seen a veritable explosion of auto-immune conditions, diseases and syndromes. The medical establishment has continually and obstinately overlooked the involvement of vaccines with so many of these auto-immune disorders. As a matter of fact, most of the primary care gatekeepers across the whole spectrum of the healthcare delivery system appear to have quite intentionally dismissed the great likelihood of this direct correlation. Surely this goes back to their Med School training which admonishes them never to offend the Pharmaceutical Industry. As glorified pharmaceutical salespeople, many physicians have been hopelessly indoctrinated to believe that BIG Pharma always gets it right, and never does wrong.
Many of the alphabet soup diseases, such as AIDS, HIV, CFS (a.k.a. CFIDS & ME), MCS, ALS, MS, MD and many others, fit the profile of vaccine-induced illness. Likewise, the many New Age Maladies like Morgellons, Epstein Barr virus and Mononucleosis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, Systemic Candidiasis, Celiac Sprue disease and Gluten sensitivity, Environmental Illness syndrome, Huntington’s disease, Meniere’s disease, Reye’s syndrome, and others also fit the same pattern.
The key point here is that the overly aggressive childhood vaccination schedules, coupled with highly invasive vaccines, have served to simply overwhelm the average child’s immune system. Then, later on in life, when the confluence of circumstances is such that stress events begin to cascade, the individual’s immune response is not adequate to ward off the everyday illnesses transmitted throughout the environment or to prevent chronic degenerative disease from advancing.
The common denominator for so many ailments and diseases — both chronic and acute — seems to always be past and current vaccinations. These immunizations actually serve as the trigger events which eventually spiral out of control before concretizing as a full-blown disease process or Multi-infection syndrome. This predicament has only been worsening year after year as more intrusive vaccination regimes are introduced throughout society.
Multi-infection syndromes and Vaccinations
Multi-infection syndromes (MIS), such as Lyme disease, are quite stealthily engineered so as to genetically mutate over the pathological period of the infection-causing pathogen. In so doing they often mimic other Multi-infection syndromes. In this way Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Lyme disease frequently have many of the same symptoms.
Likewise, no two cases of Lyme disease are exactly alike. Because there can be two or three or four pathogenic microbes operating at the same time, they always produce different sets of symptoms. In other words Lyme disease has been known to morph into 3 or 4 or 5 different generations of various symptomalogical manifestations. Each generation may be distinguished by a different mix of the pathogenic microbes which are well known to define those variant forms of Lyme disease. Not only are the individual microbial strains mutating, the mixes of micro-organisms are also morphing through the seasons and over the years.
The more vaccinations any individual receives over the course of their lifetime, the more their natural immune response can be short-circuited. The immunity function can become so discombobulated that it begins to attack its own body. When this condition becomes chronic, auto-immune dysregulation sets in and the person feels like they are perpetually on the fritz.
The intolerance and/or hyper-reactivity to vaccines are notorious for sufficiently weakening the immune system to the point of vulnerability to those specific Multi-infection syndromes* which have been fabricated to target their particular genotype and phenotype. This state of affairs can leads to a panoply of health crises and medical predicaments which could have been prevented by simply avoiding the vaccinations.
*Multi-infection syndromes are literally designed to target specific bloodlines and genetic blueprints. These syndromes are specifically bio-engineered to exploit the genetic predispositions and/or weaknesses in the heredity of various ancestral bloodlines. Since biological weapons of this nature are now ubiquitous, it is advised that each person put the odds in their favor by regularly strengthening their immune system. Recommendation #1 in this regard is to avoid any and all vaccinations, immunization and inoculations.
Mandatory Vaccinations For Every Man, Woman and Child
Their (NWO globalists) medical goal is to make standard vaccinations schedules mandatory for every American alive. Whether you are young or old, healthy or sick, working or unemployed, the government wants everyone receiving their vaccines right on schedule. This is a critical element of their overarching medical regime, and a particularly crucial component of Obamacare. It is actually one of the primary reasons Obamacare was foisted on the nation in such a partisan, unilateral and dictatorial manner.
As a matter of fact, legislation is now brewing in California which will make it mandatory for all school-age children to receive the full complement of vaccinations required to attend school … any school, public or private. The following news report indicates the likely repeal of the once sacred “exemption for parents’ personal beliefs” which effectively translates to mandatory vaccinations for all school children — NO EXCEPTIONs EVER!
Bill would abolish vaccination exemption for parents’ personal beliefs – LA Times
This legislative push is obviously the “Solution” to the “Reaction” which was caused by so much fear-mongering by the MSM. Both the National Press and the California media went into high gear to milk the measles outbreak for everything that they could. The “Solution” was more than likely formulated in the form of a convenient piece of legislation, previously written by the Vaccine Industry, just waiting for its day in the Sacramento sun.
That’s where we are right now, folks. If California passes mandatory vaccines into law, it will set a very dangerous precedent for the other 49 states. Which is exactly why this article has been written. Government, especially a rogue and lawless one, should never be able to arrogate such tyrannical power unto itself that it can force toxic vaccines on the citizenry. The delicate, vulnerable and still developing bodies of infants and young children are particularly sensitive to the injurious chemicals and contaminants put into vaccines.
Until their safety can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, the onus of responsibility lies with squarely on the shoulders of government regarding any legislation which mandates vaccination. In the absence of any objective and high integrity science demonstrating their safety, vaccines ought to be completely removed from the healthcare arena, as well as the general marketplace. There is simply far too much anecdotal evidence coming forward every day which connect vaccines to a whole host of serious medical conditions and health complications … up to and including death.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is just one flagrant example of where newborn infants are exposed to vaccines at a very tender and vulnerable age. While there may be different causes of SIDS, there is a plethora of anecdotal and circumstantial evidence which points directly to the overwhelming regimen of vaccinations that most babies are subjected to. In the USA children receive “49 DOSES OF 14 VACCINES BEFORE AGE 6“. More significantly, the child will receive 35 of those doses by his 18th month of life. Now you know why “Doctors are trained to deny any evidence of vaccine linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome“.
‘Sudden-infant-death-syndrome (SIDS) has been reported following administration of vaccines containing diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine … It should be borne in mind that the three primary immunizing doses of these vaccines are usually administered to infants between the age of 2 and 6 months and that approximately 85% of SIDS cases occur in the period from 1 through 6 months of age with the peak incidence at age 2 to 4 months.’[3]
‘From 2 to 4 months old, babies begin their primary course of vaccinations. This is also the peak age for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The timing of these two events has led some people to believe they might be related.’[3]
(Source: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Concerns/sids_faq.html)
For concerned parents, it should especially be noted that the first vaccine given to infants almost immediately following their birth is for Hepatitis B. The administration of this completely unnecessary vaccination has been determined to cause SIDS. Injecting babies with Hep B is perhaps the most misguided and ill-advised OB/GYN practice there is. Many a baby has certainly died from this inoculation and the parents were left wondering why … because the physicians always play dumb.
Autism and Aspergers, ADD and ADHD
The direct correlation between these profound chemical assaults (delivered regularly via vaccination schedules) and disorders such as Autism and Aspergers, ADD and ADHD is now firmly established by those medical researchers seeking the truth. The autism-vaccine connection has been so thoroughly documented scientifically in Italy that the courts have “awarded compensation to a boy for vaccine-induced autism”. What is most curious about this extraordinary finding is the total U.S. Media Blackout.
Autism is not to be taken lightly just because it has become so common in the vaccine-happy countries of the world. Autism Spectrum Disorders are now so commonplace that some TV programming regularly refers to the prevalence of Prozac and Ritalin prescriptions among teenagers, and now young adults. The following disorder description is due entirely to the out-of-control vaccination regimens nationwide.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), also known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs), cause severe and pervasive impairment in thinking, feeling, language, and the ability to relate to others. These disorders are usually first diagnosed in early childhood and range from a severe form, called autistic disorder, through pervasive development disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), to a much milder form, Asperger syndrome. They also include two rare disorders, Rett syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder.[4]
What is particularly alarming about the appearance of these various forms and levels of seriousness of autistic disorders is their intensifying emergence over the past 60 years. With each successive decade since the 1950s, both vaccination regimes and the incidence of autism have increased practically in lock step. This one-to-one correlation can no longer be denied. That physicians reflexively dismiss such obvious linkages should no longer be tolerated. They do, after all, take the Hippocratic Oath which includes the vow to “First, Do No Harm“.
Where it concerns the systematic administration of childhood immunizations schedules, the entire medical profession has fundamentally violated this sacred oath. Physicians such as Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British former surgeon and medical researcher, proved conclusively “that there is a link between the administration of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and the appearance of autism and bowel disease.”[5]
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, Renowned Medical Researcher and Anti-Vax Advocate
Because of the extraordinary threat that his research posed to the entire medical establishment and beyond, he was maliciously maligned in an attempt to discredit his vital work. In the end, his courageous stand for the truth, and the extreme reaction by the Global Vaccination Complex, clearly demonstrated just how much legal risk and financial liability exists under the current rubric of the Global Vaccination Complex (GVC).
The “Doctor” that we know and who many worship today would be completely disgraced — in a heartbeat — were the truth to be told about the “Barbaric, Insane and Fraudulent” vaccination regime that predominates across the land. As a professional group, they have taken advantage of the trust and confidence that families and individuals everywhere place in them. Therefore, it is critical for the anti-vax movement to go after this weakest link in the Global Vaccination Complex chain. If the docs refuse to be educated, then they ought to be refused the important business of overseeing your family’s health and medical needs.
They (the NWO globalists and GVC) now know that we know. They have been running a game — a thoroughly repugnant and nefarious game — of death and disease … and the relentless destruction of human health. Autism is just one of the many pervasive and disastrous health outcomes for Western society. It has taken a terrible toll on whole generations, getting more serious with the later ones, especially the Millennials and Generation Z.
Annual Flu Shot: Yearly Exacerbation of an Ongoing Public Health Disaster
Once everyone has completed their crushing regimen of childhood vaccinations, the public health officials see to it that they are then kept in the vaccine groove by way of the annual flu shot … for the rest of their natural life. What a thoroughly oppressive system? The flu vaccine is now foisted on people in every sphere of life. The barrage of advertisements and subliminal messages during flu season is as offensive as it is astounding, yes?
Clearly the intention here is for the Global Vaccine Complex to capture each human being from cradle to grave. In this way they can be subjected to the most recent advances in microchipping technology(a.k.a. RFID). They can also be used as guinea pigs to test “new and improved” ingredients as well as different mixes of those ingredients. Their primary care physician is essentially conducting an ongoing perfectly controlled quasi-clinical trial. He catalogs each illness and every condition which arises with each subsequent visit to every flu shot.
The health insurance companies are also in the loop by virtue of sharing the same medical information highway regarding flu shot history and documented complications. Since the patient’s medical data and health information are always shared with the government due to the requirements of Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE, the CDC, NIH and Surgeon General are also kept in the very same loop. These and other inter-relationships ensure a smooth and seamless exchange of privileged and useful information about changes in broad demographic medical patterns, as well as in any given individual’s health status.
In spite of a tremendous degree of professional resistance against institutional flu vaccination programs, they have been insidiously instituted wherever possible. Protest movements within the healthcare industry have done little to slow down the momentum. When doctors and nurses question the efficacy and safety of flu vaccines, you know something is about to break wide open.
Recent Media Hoopla Re: Vaccines Involves 3 Presidential Contenders
How often are such prominent political luminaries such as President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Governor Chris Christie and Senator Rand Paul all purposefully drawn into the vaccine debate? You know that when such a sensitive topic reaches this level of the public discourse something very big is afoot. The Mainstream Media is always used to further implement the “Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution” MO.
Exactly what the larger agenda is behind the recent media circus around vaccines is quite transparent. Each candidate is being given an opportunity to weigh in on this exceptionally weighty matter. To a great extent it will determine their ‘fitness’ to serve their new masters in the capacity of POTUS. The two camps are clearly well defined by their uncompromising anti-vaccination posture or their tough pro-vaccination attitude.
There is no question that such a stance will greatly influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election cycle. Either We, the People will secure their right to choose what is good for our health, and right to introduce into our bodies … or the government decides that.
In any event the next presidential election will prove to be the one that determines the extent to which personal sovereignty will reign supreme, or will not. Similarly, the notions of states’ rights and national sovereignty are also shaping up to be major issues as the U.S. Federal Government continues to run its tyranny on the American people. Running roughshod over the U.S. Constitution is now a deeply familiar issue to every American citizen and The Vaccine Conspiracy may very well bring it all to a head, once and for all!
Now we come to the “Why?” And who really gains.
There are many levels throughout this massive and mind-boggling vaccination conspiracy. Likewise, there are multiple layers within each of the major levels. Each institution and organization has its own set of intentions as well as specific agenda regarding vaccines. Every individual within the Global Vaccination Complex system has their own part to play and will design their operating plan accordingly. Nevertheless, the same basic MO (method of operation) is utilized by all the major players, which then filters down to those who execute the implementation plans.
The primary MO, which is relentlessly utilized to maintain the status quo at all costs, is well known by many:
(i) False claims of faked successes are fraudulently made about all the previous vaccination programs.
(ii) Adamant denial of any and all correlations between vaccines and disease and/or deaths is employed by every stakeholder, bar none.
(iii) Scare tactics are predictably used in the wake of every flu outbreak or infectious disease epidemic which promote vaccination.
(iv) Each component of the Global Vaccination Complex closes ranks with each other because of the massive liability — both legal and financial — which every stakeholder is exposed to once their scheme collapses.
(v) Pro-vaxer are always presented by the MSM as sane and rational; anti-vaxers are portrayed as wild-eyed conspiracy theorists who subscribe to this quite transparent conspiracy.
Yeah, but “Cui bono?” Who really gains from such a complex, convoluted and crazy conspiracy? Certainly not the children!
Truly, this very same game has been played for eons. It always pits those who control against those who are controlled. The enormous amount of power and money associated with the Global Vaccination Complex is staggering. Therefore, it is easy to understand the degree of control which can be exerted on any given population that is subjected to such a regime of yearly jabs. The operative word here is CONTROL.
Whether that control becomes further expanded or hardened by means of highly advanced microchip technology via nanobots and brain chips can only be surmised. The very fact that an “integrated circuit (IC) chip is as minute as a speck of dust” indicates that just about anything is possible at this late date. Therefore, the opportunity for the globalists to exert even more control over vast populations has increased exponentially over the past few years; perhaps even over the past few months or even weeks.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Evidence emerges that measles outbreaks are deliberately encouraged by Big Pharma to ignite vaccine hysteria
(NaturalNews) While the mainstream media is busy making a mockery of itself with runaway hysteria "witch hunt" hate speech against parents who choose not to poison their children with toxic vaccines, the real story on the measles outbreak remains entirely unreported in any mainstream media outlet.
What story is that? The true story about how Big Pharma's own vaccine scientists blew the whistle on MMR vaccine research fraud taking place over a decade ago, warning that the vaccine's approval by the FDA was based on "falsified results" and that the fraudulent MMR vaccine was the "primary cause" of a measles outbreak in 2006, as they state in their own words (see below).
The senior management of the world's top vaccine producer was actively engaged in the fraud, according to the whistleblowers, even going so far as to test the vaccine against contrived "laboratory" strains of infectious viruses rather than testing them against strains circulating in the real world. This created an MMR vaccine with results that could be faked to appear effective while actually conferring almost no real-world protection at all, thereby ensuring an eventual outbreak that the media would seize upon to call for more vaccines.
When these pro-vaccine scientists attempted to sound the alarm on the MMR vaccine research fraud they not only witnessed but actually took part in carrying out, they were threatened with being arrested and sent to prison, according to their own testimony.
Absolutely zero investigative reporting on the vaccine industry taking place today across the entire national media
The sellout mainstream media, not surprisingly, refuses to cover this story in exactly the same way it refused to cover the public confession of the CDC whistleblower scientist who went public with his own allegations of vaccine research fraud at the CDC.
Any time you see a mainstream media news report on vaccines, you can rest assured with 100% confidence that it is pure theater, carried out with carefully scripted fake narratives to achieve a propaganda goal of demanding complete obedience to all demands of the vaccine industry. Media outlets now function as nothing more than propaganda pushers for the medical fascism police state which has descended upon America.
Words from the False Claims Act
We now have new transcriptions from this document filed with the United States government, which reveals shocking details about the vaccine fraud witnessed firsthand by Big Pharma's own scientists. The document is entitled United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Civil action No. 10-4374. "Complaint for Violations of the Federal False Claims Act."
Here are the actual words of the vaccine whistleblowers as printed in the False Claims Act document filed with the federal government. Subheads added are my own:
This case is about Merck's efforts for more than a decade to defraud the United States with respect to the efficacy of Merck's mumps vaccine.
The FDA insists on such a high efficacy rate (95%) because only then can the disease ultimately be eradicated through what is commonly referred to as "herd immunity."
Without demonstrating that its mumps vaccine continued to be 95% effective, Merckwould lose its exclusive license to manufacture and sell its MMRII vaccine.
Relators Krahling and Wlochowski participated on the team that conducted this supposedly enhanced test. Each of them witnessed firsthand the falsification of the testdata in which Merck engaged to reach its 95% efficacy threshold. In fact, each was significantly pressured by Krah and other senior Merck personnel to participate in this fraud."
Merck added rabbit antibodies for the singular purpose of altering the outcome of the test by increasing the virus neutralization count.
Without applying a proper "control" to the process, there is no way to isolate whether virus neutralization is caused by the human antibodies alone or in combination with the rabbit's antibodies, Merck did not apply this kind of control.
And adding rabbit antibodies as a supplement to a vaccine was not an option because it could result in serious complications to a human, even death.
"Merck's senior management" helped orchestrate the vaccine fraud
Krah did not act alone in orchestrating the falsification of Merck's mumps vaccine test results. He acted with the authority and approval of Merck's senior management.
In July, Relator Krahling met with Alan Shaw, Merck's Executive Director of Vaccine Research and complained to him about the fraudulent vaccine testing.
Shaw talked about the significant bonuses that Emini had promised to pay once the testing was complete.
Relator Krahling then met with Bob Suter, Krahling's human resources representative at Merck. Krahling told Suter about the falsification of testing data and Shaw's refusal to get involved. Krahling told Suter that he was going to report the activity to the FDA. Suter told him he would go to jail if he contacted the FDA and offered to set up a private meeting with Emini where Krahling could discuss his concerns.
Emini agreed that Krah had misrepresented the data. Krahling also complained about the use of rabbit antibodies to inflate the seroconversion rate. Emini responded that the rabbit antibodies were necessary for Merck to achieve the project's objective.
"Destroyed evidence"
The next morning, Krah arrived early to the lab and packaged up and destroyed evidence of the ongoing Protocol 007 efficacy testing. This included garbage bags full of the experimental plates that would have (and should have) been maintained for review until the testing was complete and final.
Despite the threats he received from Suter and Emini, Krahling called the FDA to report this activity and Merck's ongoing fraud. On August 6, 2001, in response to Krahling's call, an FDA agent came to Merck to question Krah and Shaw... And she did not address the actual destruction of evidence that Krah had already facilitated.
"Wide-scale falsification of test data"
What no one knew outside of Merck - - not the FDA, the CDC or any other governmental agency - - was that this result was the product of Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies and the wide-scale falsification of test data to conceal the inflated seroconversion numbers these antibodies generated.
In 2005, the FDA granted Merck approval and an exclusive U.S. license for its ProQuad vaccine. Merck obtained the license continuing to misrepresent the efficacy of its mumps vaccine.
Around the same time, the EMA also approved Sanofi Pasteur MSD's application for sale of Merck's ProQuad in Europe. As with MMRVaxPro, Merck's joint venture submitted the falsified results of Protocol 007 to the EMA as supportive clinical information in its vaccine application.
In 2006, more than 6,500 cases of mumps were reported in the Mid-West. This was the largest mumps outbreak in almost twenty years...
The CDC, FDA and Merck publicly worked together to determine the cause of this 2006 outbreak. Of course, only Merck knew that the primary cause was the insufficient efficacy of its vaccine.
Flawed vaccine is the primary cause of the outbreaks
The reason for these continued outbreaks is that Merck's vaccine docs not have a 95 percent efficacy rate. The vaccine may have been 95 percent effective when it was originally licensed in 1967, but the vaccine virus has been waning as it is continually "passaged"...
Without demonstrating that its mumps vaccine continued to be 95 percent effective, Merck would lose its exclusive license to manufacture and sell its MMRII vaccine. And if Merck lost the license for MMRII, Merck would also be unable to secure FDA approval for its ProQuad vaccine. So, Merck set out to conduct testing of its mumps vaccine that would guarantee an efficacy rate of 95 percent or higher.
It did this through manipulating its testing procedures and falsifying the test results. Relators Krahling and Wlochowski participated on the Merck team that conducted this testing and witnessed firsthand the fraud in which Merck engaged to reach its desired results. Merck internally referred to the testing as Protocol 007. 25.
While Merck's PRN test was modeled after the efficacy test generally accepted in the industry, it diverged from this "gold standard" test in a significant way. It did not test the vaccine for its ability to protect against a "wild-type" mumps virus. A wild-type virus is a strain of the virus as it exists in nature and would confront a person in the real world. That is the type of real-life virus against which vaccines are generally tested. Instead, Merck tested the children's blood for its capacity to neutralise the same Jeryl Lynn mumps strain with which the children were vaccinated. The children's vaccine response was not tested for its capacity to neutralize virulent, disease-causing mumps virus.
The use of the Jeryl Lynn strain, as opposed to a virulent wild-type strain, subverted the fundamental purpose of the PRN test which was to measure the vaccine's ability to provide protection against a disease-causing mumps virus that a child would actually face in real life. The end result of this deviation from foe accepted PRN gold standard test was that Merck's test overstated thee vaccine's effectiveness.
"Falsification of the test data"
Merck's Improper Use of Rabbit Antibodies In 1ts "Enhanced" PRN Test
The second test Merck employed under Protocol 007 was formally called the Anti-IgQ Enhanced Mumps Plaque Reduction Neutralization Assay. It was commenced in 2000 and again led by Krah and hia staff at Merck's West Point facility. Relators Krahling and Wlochowski participated on the team that conducted this supposedly enhanced test. Each of them witnessed firsthand the falsification of the test data in which Merck engaged to reach its 95 percent efficacy threshold. In fact, each was significantly pressured by Krah and other senior Merck personnel to participate in this fraud.
But the use of the rabbit antibodies allowed Merck to achieve its high seroconversion objectives. In fact, the exact same paired blood samples that were found under Merck's original PRN test to lack sufficient virus neutralizing antibodies were now considered seroconverted under the "enhanced" test. Indeed, in one panel of sixty paired blood samples that had failed the original PRN test, Merck measured a seroconversion rate of 100 percent! ln other words, non-neutralizing concentrations of antibodies that would never protect a child from mumps in the real world were under Merck's "enhanced" test treated as vaccine successful solely because of the additional neutralization provided by the rabbit antibodies.
Specifically, Krah and Yagodich and other members of Krah's staff falsified the test results to ensure a pre-positive neutralization rate of below 10 percent. They did this by fabricating their plaque counts on the pre-vaccination blood samples, counting plaques that were not actually there. With these inflated plaque counts, Merck was able to count as pre-negative those blood samples that would have otherwise been counted as pre-positive because of the increased neutralization caused by the rabbit antibodies.
"Falsification [was] broad-based and systematic..."
Merck's falsification of the pre- vaccination plaque counts was performed in a broad-based and systematic manner:
Krah stressed to his staff that that the high number of pre-positives they were finding was a problem that needed to be fixed.
Krah directed his staff to re-check any sample found to be pre-positive to see if more plaques could be found to convert the sample to a pre-negative.
Krah and Yagodicii falsified plaque counts to convert pre-positives to pre-negatives, and directed other staff scientists to do the same.
Krah appointed Yagodich and two others to "audit" the testing that other staff scientists had performed. These audits were limited to finding additional plaques on pre-positive samples thereby rendering them pre-negatives.
Krah instituted several measures to isolate the pre-positive samples, facilitate their "re-count" and consequent conversion to pro-negatives, and minimize the chances of detection. Those included destroying test results, substituting original counting sheets with "clean" sheets, and entering and changing test results directly onto electronic (excel) spreadsheets that left no paper trail.
Merck cancelled a planned outsource of the efficacy testing to a lab in Ohio because the outside lab was unable to replicate the seroconversion results Krah was obtaining in his lab. Krah and his staff conducted all the testing instead.
Unsurprisingly, none of the "recounting" and "retesting" that Merck performed as part of its "enhanced' PRN testing was performed on any post-vaccination samples or on any pro-vaccination samples that were pre-negative. This additional "rigor" was only applied to the pre-positive samples, the very samples that were keeping Merck from achieving the requisite 95 percent seroconversion threshold.
"A trillion to one"
In July 2001, Relators Krahling and Wlochowski conducted their own test to confirm statistically what they already knew to be true. They reviewed approximately 20 percent of the data that Merck had collected as part of the "enhanced" PRN test. In this sampling, they found that 45 percent of the pre-positive data had been altered to make it pre-negative. No pre-negatives were changed to pre-positives. No post-positives were changed to post-negatives. No post-negatives were changed to post-positives. All changes were in one direction - reducing the incidence of pre-positives.
The statistical probability of so many innocent changes occurring in just the pre-positive data and in no other data was more than a trillion to one. And that is a conservative measure given the likelihood that an even greater number of pre-positives were changed but remained undetected because the changes were not recorded in Merck's files.
"Acted with the authority and approval of Merck's senior management"
The Complicity of Merck's Senior Management
Krah did not act alone in orchestrating the falsification of Merck's mumps vaccine test results. He acted with the authority and approval of Merck's senior management.
In April 2001, for example, Emilio Emini, the Vice President of Merck's Vaccine Research Division, held a meeting with Krah and his staff where he directed them to follow Krah's orders to ensure the "enhanced" PRN testing would be successful. He also told the staff
Krah's orders to ensure the "enhanced" PRN testing would be successful. He also told the staff that they had earned very large bonuses for their work so far on the project and that he was going to double the bonuses mid pay them once the testing was complete.
In July 2001, Relator Krahling met with Alan Shaw, Merck's Executive Director of Vaccine Research, and complained to him about the fraudulent vaccine testing. Krahling presumed that Shaw already knew about the fraud since he visited Krah's lab frequently and almost certainly would have witnessed the changing of pre-positive data that Krah was openly directing. Nevertheless, Krahling wanted to put Shaw on formal notice of the fraud end told him of the falsification of the pre-positive data. He also complained about the improper use of the rabbit antibodies to inflate the post-vaccine neutralization counts. Shaw responded that the FDA permitted the use of rabbit antibodies and that that should be good enough for Krahling. Shaw refused to discuss anything further about the matter. Instead, Shaw talked about the significant bonuses that Emini had promised to pay once the testing was complete.
Threatened with jail time
Relator Krahling then met with Bob Suter, Krahling's human resources representative at Merck. Krahling told Suter about the falsification of testing data and Shaw's refusal to get involved. Krahling told Suter that he was going to report the activity to the FDA. Suter told him he would go to jail if he contacted the FDA and offered to set up a private meeting with Emini where Krahling could discuss his concerns.
Shortly thereafter, Emini agreed to meet with Krahling. Krahling brought to the meeting actual testing samples and plaque counting sheets to demonstrate to Emini the fraudulent testing that Krah waa directing. Emini agreed that Krah had misrepresented the data. Krahliug also complained about the use of rabbit antibodies to inflate the seroconversion rate. Emini responded that the rabbit antibodies were necessary for Merck to achieve the project's objective. Krahling proposed a scientific solution to lower the pre-positive rate and end the need to falsify data -- stop using rabbit antibodies. When Emini declined, Krahling asked him what scientific rationale justified using the rabbit antibodies. Rraini explained that Merck's choice to use these antibodies was a "business decision."
The next morning, Krah arrived early to the lab and packed up and destroyed evidence of the ongoing Protocol 007 efficacy testing. This included garbage bags full of the experimental plates that would have (and should have) been maintained for review until the testing was complete and final. Despite the threats he received from Suter and Emini, Krahling called the FDA to report this activity and Merck's ongoing fraud.
FDA overlooked the vaccine fraud
The FDA issued a one page deficiency report identifying a few relatively minor shortcomings in Merck's testing process. These principally related to flaws in Merck's record-keeping and in its validation/explanation of changes to the test data.
The report did not address nor censure Merck for any issues relating to Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies or Merck's wide-scale falsification of pre-positive test data. The FDA did not discover this fraudulent activity in the course of their perfunctory visit because of Krah's and Shaw's misrepresentations to the FDA.
In order to comply with the deficiency report, Merck made minor adjustments to its testing procedure relating to its heretofore ad hoc procedure for counting plaques.
"Wide-scale falsification of [vaccine] test data"
Merck completed its Project 007 testing in late summer or early fall 2001. Unsurprisingly, the results Merck reported fell within the 95 percent seroconversion target Merck had from the outset. This is the result Merck provided the FDA and the public at large. What no one knew outside of Merck - not the FDA, the CDC or any other governmental agency -- was that this result was the product of Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies and the wide-scale falsification of test data to conceal the inflated seroconversion numbers these antibodies generated.

When Emini declined, Krahling asked him what scientific rationale justified using the rabbit antibodies. Rraini explained that Merck's choice to use these antibodies was a "business decision."
The next morning, Krah arrived early to the lab and packed up and destroyed evidence of the ongoing Protocol 007 efficacy testing. This included garbage bags full of the experimental plates that would have (and should have) been maintained for review until the testing was complete and final. Despite the threats he received from Suter and Emini, Krahling called the FDA to report this activity and Merck's ongoing fraud.
FDA overlooked the vaccine fraud
The FDA issued a one page deficiency report identifying a few relatively minor shortcomings in Merck's testing process. These principally related to flaws in Merck's record-keeping and in its validation/explanation of changes to the test data.
The report did not address nor censure Merck for any issues relating to Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies or Merck's wide-scale falsification of pre-positive test data. The FDA did not discover this fraudulent activity in the course of their perfunctory visit because of Krah's and Shaw's misrepresentations to the FDA.
In order to comply with the deficiency report, Merck made minor adjustments to its testing procedure relating to its heretofore ad hoc procedure for counting plaques.
"Wide-scale falsification of [vaccine] test data"
Merck completed its Project 007 testing in late summer or early fall 2001. Unsurprisingly, the results Merck reported fell within the 95 percent seroconversion target Merck had from the outset. This is the result Merck provided the FDA and the public at large. What no one knew outside of Merck - not the FDA, the CDC or any other governmental agency -- was that this result was the product of Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies and the wide-scale falsification of test data to conceal the inflated seroconversion numbers these antibodies generated.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Government Says Big Pharma Kills More People Than All Illegal Drugs Combined
A new study has shown that pharmaceutical drugs cause more overdoses and more deaths than all of the illegal drugs on the market combined. According to the government’s own statistics, listed on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, deaths relating to pharmaceutical drugs rose to roughly 23,000 last year, which accounts for over half of the total overdose deaths in the country for that time period.
Additionally, a recent study conducted by researchers with the University of Virginia, University of Arkansas, the Partnership for Drug Free Kids, and the American Institutes for Research reconfirmed the known dangers of pharmaceutical drug abuse.
The study concluded that, “Teens need help before they reach these tipping points for prescription drug abuse. Adults spotting teens with very high levels of anxiety and at least moderate use of other restricted substances should realize that these are students with a high likelihood of prescription abuse. Male teens with a high need to be popular and teens in general appear to be at exceptional risk. Campaigns must target parents as well, since they clearly underestimate both the physical risks of prescription drugs and the likelihood that their children will abuse these drugs.”
Sadly, the authors of the study described any average teenager, however, it does give us some insight into the root causes of teenage drug abuse.
As the study noted, teens are being pushed towards drug use by the high-stress environment that is created by modern culture and government schools. Many times, these students are even prescribed a wide variety of these medications to help them cope with the stresses of teenage life, which means that doctors are essentially putting their stamp of approval on daily teenage use of amphetamines like Adderall or tranquilizers like Xanax.
A study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) highlighted this phenomenon, pointing out that “Prescription drugs are seen as blessed by a trusted institution, the FDA, while increasingly aggressive advertising by drug companies simultaneously floods parents and children with messages that these substances are safe, popular, and beneficial.”

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Threats to the Medical Pharmaceutical Regulatory Complex? Seven Doctors have Died under Suspicious Circumstances
Over the past several weeks no less than seven established doctors have either been killed or died under unusual circumstances (e.g. here and here).
What do these physicians have in common and what remedies are they researching or advocating? Do any of their proposed treatments pose a threat to the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical cartel? If so, would government agencies and/or private contractors be commissioned to harass and perhaps even assassinate such individuals?
James Jeffrey Bradstreet, whose body was found floating in a North Carolina river on June 19, had successfully treated over 1,700 autistic children with GcMAF. On June 16 the FDA obtained a search and seizure order targeting his Buford Georgia medical clinic.
The answer may lie in an understanding of nagalese, a protein made by cancer cells and viruses. Nagalese is a primary cause of immunodeficiency given its ability to block the body’s production of GcMAF, otherwise known as “Vitamin D binding microphage activating factor,” a naturally-produced immune regulating compound that aids in fighting what are traditionally considered terminal diseases. Some researchers suggest that nagalese is one of many toxic components found in the immunizations commonly administered to children, including the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine.
Some independently-minded medical practitioners are beginning to acknowledge not only the nagalese-vaccination link, but also that GcMAF possesses great potential for the treatment of cancer and a variety of other illnesses, including autism, inflammation, and viral and bacterial disease.
The most prominent of the seven doctors who’ve been murdered or died under suspicious circumstances is James Jeffrey Bradstreet. As the contents of his blog drbradstreet.org suggest, Dr. Bradstreet has conducted extensive research into the causes of autism. His body was found on June 19 floating in a North Carolina river with a gunshot wound to his chest. Perhaps uncoincidentally, Bradstreet was a strong advocate of GcMAF and had treated over 2,000 autistic children with the substance; 85% exhibited marked improvement under his care.
Dr. Bradstreet’s private practice in Buford, Georgia centered on “treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, PPD, and related neurological and developmental disorders.” Bradstreet has also provided expert testimony in federal court for families of the vaccine-injured and was founder and president of the International Child Development Resource Center, which once employed autism expert Dr. Andrew Wakefield as its research director.
Of course, GcMAF is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for any disease. Just three days before Bradstreet’s body was recovered, FDA agents had obtained a court ordertargeting Bradstreet’s Buford Georgia medical clinic. The document granted the government the right to seize:
Even in death Bradsteet and his GcMAF-related work continue to pose a threat to the medical-pharmaceutical-regulatory complex, as evidenced in their flak-generating public relations arms, “Quackwatch” and “Science Based Medicine,” each of which have published vicious broadsides on the deceased physician.
Big pharma, which for decades has exerted vigorous control over the regulatory process while presiding over literally millions of deaths via its products, will stop at nothing to hamper medical scientific progress and protect its bottom line. Perhaps this zealous quest for profits and control now even includes outright murder of alternative practitioners.

Genetics Have Little Influence Over Health: Top Stem Cell Biologist Asserts
Bruce Lipton believes 98% of all illness is environmental, while a mere 2% of disease can be traced to genetic disposition. Working as a stem cell researcher at Stanford University, Lipton uncovered a startling truth: Our genetic composition has very little influence on health, whereas the impact of chemistry within the body is far-reaching. The key to unlocking exceptional wellness is actually found in the subconscious mind – if we reprogram our negative thought habits, we create a new internal chemistry where spontaneous healing and vibrant health are possible.
Cells respond to environment, not pre-determined genetic code
During an interview on GreenMed TV, Lipton explored the ramifications of his discovery that genetically identical stem cells will behave differently when placed in varying petri-dish environments. Some would develop into bone cells, others muscle. It all depended on the specific chemical environment, not the genetic code. He began to question how this related to the human body and its 50 trillion cells.
The subconscious mind is master
Lipton applied his findings to the environment of the body; namely, how human chemistry is influenced. He found that the subconscious mind (which controls 95% of our thoughts, actions, beliefs and emotions) is running the chemistry show. When we have a thought or perception, it sets off a chain of chemical reactions within the body. If the thought is positive, it will foster a favorable chemical environment, leading to radiant mental states along with harmonious bodily processes. Yet if the thought is negative, stressful or fear based, biochemicals flood the system with a message of disease and disharmony, essentially shutting down immunity and proper functioning.
This creates a serious dilemma because most of our thoughts are unconscious and rooted in programming we adopted during early childhood.
Deprogram and thrive
Up until age 6, every person is like a sponge, absorbing information, traits, behavioral responses as well as conditioning from family and society. According to Lipton, from birth until 6, there is very little conscious thought. We are simply soaking up everything around us which in turn shapes the way we think. Unfortunately, most of us take in beliefs based on negative thinking, a sense of lack and competition. As adults, these negative programs not only manifest as ill health, but also financial hardship, mental unease and other life challenges.
The secret is to tune into our programmed habits. And this requires becoming mindful of the thoughts swimming around in our heads. Once we see the patterns of thinking and habitual reactions, we can begin to break the cycle and make choices of how we will respond, think and behave. But this is not some Pollyanna orientation where we gloss over what we are really feeling. Just the opposite. Instead, we become fully aware of our persistent thoughts and emotions. We then can choose a different path which is more life affirming and joyful.
It takes commitment and dedication, yet once the process is set in motion and early programming loosens its grip, life opens up, creating “heaven on earth,” says Lipton. Vitality and health return, happiness soars. And problems fall by the wayside. What’s more, miracles start to appear when we have full control of our consciousness, Lipton declares. Spontaneous healing is just one example.
Not bad for a little infusion of awareness into our daily lives.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Cannabis: The Most Important Vegetable on the Planet
“If cannabis were discovered in the Amazon rainforest today, people would be clambering to make as much use as they could of all of the potential benefits of the plant. Unfortunately, it carries with it a long history of being a persecuted plant.” ~ Dr. Donald Abrams, Chief of Hematology Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital
Approximately 106,000 Americans die yearly from prescribed medications, according to the American Medical Association. Even more frightening, preventable medical errors account for a staggering 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year — and is considered the 3rd leading cause of death. “It’s equivalent to 2,000 commercial jets taking off each year knowing that they don’t have enough fuel to complete their journeys,” notes Peter Edelstein M.D. “Would you allow your spouse to board one of those planes? Your friend? A stranger?”
Good question. Increasingly, people in the West are seeking out treatments that work harmoniously with the body, instead of against it — in other words, they’re walking away from the medical establishment and all its mishaps, mistakes and pharmaceutical drugs. A case in point is cannabis, especially in its raw form.
A Rich History
Marijuana is one of those plants that, to many, conjures visions of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids and hippies in a drugged-out daze. But it wasn’t always this way.
Even American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson declared: “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country.”
So what happened?
In 1937, the United States Congress decided — against the recommendation of the American Medical Association — to pass the Marijuana Tax Act. The legislation essentially banned the use of marijuana by making it excessively expensive and difficult to secure. It has been downhill ever since. That is, until the last few years where legalization of marijuana has exploded in the U.S., for both recreational and medicinal uses. For our purposes here, we’re going to look at the health benefits of the plant — which are quite impressive.
An Essential Vegetable
It may be a stretch for some to recognize raw cannabis as the next in-demand superfood, but Dr. Courtney, a physician with extensive medical training who specializes in the dietary uses of cannabis, presents a provocative case.
When you heat or age cannabis, Dr. Courtney believes that you lose 99% of the benefit cannabis provides. In contrast, if you consume it raw, you’ll reap the full value of the plant. Plus, raw cannabis is non-psychoactive, so you won’t experience a high — an important point for those who would like to utilize the healing aspects of cannabis without feeling drugged or off-center. This means you can also consume a much higher amount of health-promoting compounds with raw cannabis juice compared to if it was smoked or extracted as an oil, according to Dr. Courtney.
Terpenes, essential oils found in cannabis which give the plant its unique aroma, are particularly compelling. A study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology states that terpenoids are “pharmacologically versatile: they are lipophilic, interact with cell membranes, neuronal and muscle ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, G-protein coupled (odorant) receptors, second messenger systems and enzymes.”
The researchers explored the powerful effect terpenes exert in animal tests. Limonene was found to increase serotonin in the prefrontal cortex and dopamine in the hippocampus region of the brain — both of which help fend-off depression and feelings of stress. Moreover, limonene induces apoptosis (cell death) of breast cancer cells and demonstrated exceptional radical scavenging properties. It’s also remarkably bioavailable, rapidly metabolized and is highly non-toxic and non-sensitizing.
Myrcene is anti-inflammatory and an effective sleep aid, while pinene acts as a bronchodilator and broad spectrum antibiotic — including the destruction of lethal MRSA bacteria. Pinene also curbs inflammation. Linalool is a sedative and anticonvulsant. Caryophyllene is antimalarial, anti-inflammatory and useful in treating duodenal ulcers. Nerolidol inhibits fungal growth and protozoal parasites. Phytol increases GABA expression, resulting in a calming effect. These are just a handful of the 200 varieties of terpenes found in cannabis.
How to Enjoy More Raw Cannabis in Your Life
For a daily dose, Dr. Courtney advises juicing fifteen cannabis leaves and two buds, which is then added to a small amount of fruit or vegetable juice that is consumed throughout the day. If you would like to learn more about juicing cannabis, this article article offers tips and suggestions. Keep in mind that juicing improperly may create heat, which will cause THC to form. Jeffrey C. Raber, Ph.D. also recommends having the strain of marijuana you’re using tested at a reliable and accurate lab so you know exactly what you are getting.

Marijuana is one of those plants that, to many, conjures visions of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids and hippies in a drugged-out daze. But it wasn’t always this way.
“The ancient Chinese knew of marijuana’s pain-relieving and mind-altering effects, yet it was not widely employed for its psychoactive properties; instead it was cultivated as hemp for the manufacture of rope and fabric. Likewise, the ancient Greeks and Romans used hemp to make rope and sails. In some other places, however, marijuana’s intoxicating properties became important. In India, for example, the plant was incorporated into religious rituals. During the Middle Ages, its use was common in Arab lands; in 15th-century Iraq it was used to treat epilepsy; in Egypt it was primarily consumed as an inebriant. After Napoleon’s occupation of Egypt, Europeans began using the drug as an intoxicant. During the slave trade, it was transported from Africa to Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. Marijuana gained a following in the U.S. only relatively recently. During the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, cannabis was freely available without a prescription for a wide range of ailments, including migraine and ulcers,” Roger A. Nicoll and Bradley N. Alger remind us in Scientific American.

Fluoride: Calcifier of the Soul
The Discovery
Research published in 2001 showed that fluoride (F) deposits in the pineal gland with age and is associated with enhanced gland calcification. Eleven aged cadavares were dissected and their pineal glands assayed:
"There was a positive correlation between pineal F and pineal Ca (r = 0.73, p<0.02) but no correlation between pineal F and bone F. By old age, the pineal gland has readily accumulated F and its F/Ca ratio is higher than bone."
What Is The Pineal Gland?
The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain, and is sometimes called the "third eye" as it is a light sensitive, centrally-located organ with cellular features resembling the human retina.
One article describes the role of the pineal gland in more technical terms here:
"The role of the nonvisual photoreception is to synchronise periodic functions of living organisms to the environmental light periods in order to help survival of various species in different biotopes." Source
The pineal gland is best known for its role in producing the hormone melatonin from serotonin (triggered by the absence of light) and affects wake/sleep patterns and seasonal/circadian rhythms. Like a tiny pea-sized pine cone it is located near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres and is a unique brain structure insofar as it is not protected by the blood-brain-barrier. This may also explain why it is uniquely sensitive to calcification via fluoride exposure.
More Than An Endocrine Gland
Technically the mammalian pineal gland is neural tissue, and the cells within the pineal gland - the pinealocytes - have characteristics that resemble the photorecetpor cells in the retina.
This has given rise to the opinion that it should be reclassified:
"In our opinion, the main trend of today's literature on pineal functions--only considering the organ as a common endocrine gland--deviates from this structural and histochemical basis." Source
The pineal gland has been a subject of much interest since ancient times. Galen described it in the 3rd century, and the philosopher René Decartes (1596-1650) identified the pineal gland as the "seat of the soul." His explanation for this conclusion is quite interesting:
"My view is that this gland is the principal seat of the soul, and the place in which all our thoughts are formed. The reason I believe this is that I cannot find any part of the brain, except this, which is not double. Since we see only one thing with two eyes, and hear only one voice with two ears, and in short have never more than one thought at a time, it must necessarily be the case that the impressions which enter by the two eyes or by the two ears, and so on, unite with each other in some part of the body before being considered by the soul. Now it is impossible to find any such place in the whole head except this gland; moreover it is situated in the most suitable possible place for this purpose, in the middle of all the concavities; and it is supported and surrounded by the little branches of the carotid arteries which bring the spirits into the brain."
Decartes was one of the few philosophers who was experienced in vivisection and anatomy, and who righly pointed out the unique nature of the pineal gland's location in the brain and blood supply.
The "third eye" is also a well known symbol in Eastern literature, and may be concretely grounded in the anatomical structure and function of the pineal gland.
Calcium Stones In the Brain
Pineal gland calcifications upon dissection resemble gravel, and are composed of calcite (calcium carbonate) and/or calcium hydroxylapatite, the latter of which is not unlike dentin or bone. (Source)
Pineal gland calcification is associated with a number of diseases in the medical literature:
[*]Alzheimer Disease
[*]Circadian Dysregulation
[*]Hormone Imbalances: Low Melatonin
[*]Insomnia
[*]Low Back Pain
[*]Parkinson Disease
[*]Schizophrenia
[*]Sleep Disorders
[*]Stroke
[*]Bipolar Disease
Fluoride As A "Therapeutic" Neurotoxin?
Now that it has been established that fluoride (F) exposure contributes to the calcification of the pineal gland, the question remains: what are the subjective affects of these tissue changes to those who undergo them?
Prozac may represent an archetypal example of how fluoride affects the personality/soul. This drug (chemical name fluoxetine) is approximately 30% fluoride by weight and marketed as an "antidepressant," even while a major side effect of its use and/or withdrawal is suicidal depression. Modern psychiatry often treats depressive disorders - the "dark night of the soul" - as an organic disorder of the brain, targeting serotonin reuptake by any chemical means necessary. Fluoride and fluoxetine, in fact, may accomplish their intended "therapeutic effects" by poisoning the pineal gland. Animal studies confirm that when mice have their pineal glands removed they no longer respond to fluoxetine. Source
Perhaps the primary reason why Prozac causes a favorable reaction in those who are treated (poisoned) with it, is that it disassociates that person from the psychospiritual conflicts that they must normally suppress in order to maintain the appearance of sanity and functionality in society, i.e. it is control and not health that is the goal of such "treatment."
If Prozac and other sources of fluoride in our environment deposits within the pineal gland, accelerating the transformation of functional pineal tissue into calcification, is it possible that it works by dehumanizing and flattening the affect of those who are under its influence?
How Do We Prevent Pineal Gland Calcification?
Eliminating exposure to fluoride is the #1 priority. We can start by being careful about surreptitious forms of fluoride in Teflon, foods and beverages produced with muncipal water, tap water, infant formula, fluoride containing drugs like Prozac, toothpaste, etc. We have collected a number of studies from the US National Library of Medicine on natural substances which mitigate fluoride toxicity. We also have a section on our database dedicated to finding substances which prevent or reverse other forms of pathological calcification which may have relevance for pineal gland calcification, such asectopic calcification. Lastly, there is research on the potential value of magnesium and phytate in reducing pineal gland calcification.
The Spice That Prevents Fluoride From Destroying Your Brain
Fluoride is found everywhere today, from antibiotics to drinking water, no stick pans to toothpaste, making exposure inevitable. All the more reason why research proving this common spice can prevent fluoride damage is so promising!
Fluoride’s neurotoxicity has been the subject of academic debate for decades, and now a matter of increasingly impassioned controversy among the general public, as well. From ‘conspiracy theories’ about it being first used in drinking water in Russian and Nazi concentration camps to chemically lobotomize captives, to its now well-known IQ lowering properties, to its ability to enhance thecalcification of the pineal gland – the traditional ‘seat of the soul’ – many around the world, and increasingly in the heavily fluoridated regions of the United States, are starting to organize at the local and statewide level to oust this ubiquitous toxicant from municipal drinking water.
Now, a study published in the Pharmacognosy Magazine titled, “Curcumin attenuates neurotoxicity induced by fluoride: An in vivo evidence,” adds experimental support to the suspicion that fluoride is indeed a brain-damaging substance, also revealing that a natural spice-derived protective agent against the various health effects associated with this compound is available.
The study was authored by researchers from the Department of Zoology, University College of Science, M.L. Sukhadia University, Udaipur, India, who have spent the past decade investigating the mechanisms through which fluoride induces severe neurodegenerative changes in the mammalian brain, particularly in cells of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.
The study opens by describing the historical backdrop for concern about fluoride’s significant and wide ranging toxicity:
Fluoride (F) is probably the first inorganic ion which drew attention of the scientific world for its toxic effects and now the F toxicity through drinking water is well-recognized as a global problem. Health effect reports on F exposure also include various cancers, adverse reproductive activities, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases.[1,2]
The study focused on fluoride induced neurotoxicity, identifying excitoxicity (stimulation of the neuron to the point of death) and oxidative stress as the two main drivers of neurodegeneration. It has been observed that subjects with the condition known as fluorosis, a mottling of tooth enamel caused by excessive exposure to fluoride during tooth development, also have neurodegenerative changes associated with a form of oxidative stress known as lipid peroxidation (rancidity). Excess lipid peroxidation in the brain can lead to a decrease in total brain phospholipid content. Owing to these well-known mechanisms of fluoride associated neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration, the researchers identified the primary polyphenol in the spice turmeric — known as curcumin – as an ideal agent worth testing as a neuroprotective substance. Previous research on curcumin indicates that it is capable of activing as an antioxidant in 3 distinct ways by protecting against: 1) singlet oxygen 2) hyrodxyl radicals and 3) superoxide radical damage. Also, curcumin appears to raise endogenous glutathione production in the brain, a major antioxidant defense system.
In order to assess the neurotoxic effects of fluoride and prove curcumin’s protective role against it, researchers randomly divided up mice into four groups, for 30 days:
- Control (no fluoride)
- Fluoride (120 ppm): fluoride was given in distilled water drinking water without restriction.
- Fluoride (120 ppm/30 mg/kg body weight) + Curcumin: Oral dose of curcumin dissolved in olive oil along with fluoride in drinking water
- Curcumin: (30 mg/kg body weight)
In order to ascertain the effect of treatment, the researchers measured the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the brains of the different treated mice. MDA is a well-known marker of oxidative stress/damage.
As was expected, the fluoride (F) only treatment group showed significantly elevated MDA levels vs. the non-fluoride treated control. The F + Curcumin group saw reduced MDA levels vs. the fluoride only group, demonstrating curcumin’s neuroprotective activity against fluoride associated neurotoxicity.
The study concluded,
“Our study thus demonstrate that daily single dose of 120 ppm F result in highly significant increases in the LPO [lipid peroxidation, i.e. brain rancidity] as well as neurodegenerative changes in neuron cell bodies of selected hippocampal regions. Supplementation with curcumin significantly reduce the toxic effect of F to near normal level by augmenting the antioxidant defense through its scavenging property and provide an evidence of having therapeutic role against oxidative stress mediated neurodegeneration.”
This is far from the first study to demonstrate curcumin’s remarkable brain-saving properties. From the perspective of the primary research alone, there are over two hundred peer-reviewed published studies indicating that curcumin is a neuroprotective agent. On our own turmeric database we have 115 articles proving this statement: Turmeric Protects The Brain:
We have also featured studies on turmeric’s ability to protect and restore the brain:
- How Turmeric Can Save the Aging Brain From Dementia and Premature Death
- Turmeric Produces ‘Remarkable’ Recovery in Alzheimer’s Patients
Considering the many chemical insults we face on a daily basis in the post-industrial world, turmeric may very well be the world’s most important herb, with over 600 evidence-based health applications.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
The Harmful Consequences of Pap Smears
Taken from Women Against Stirrups
Women who are tested with 'abnormal cervical cells' from a pap smear, often are scheduled for further testing.
A lot of these abnormal cervical cells can be attributed to normal, harmless things such as: puberty, hormone imbalance, menopause, pregnancy, tampon use and even sexual intercourse. Abnormal PAP test results can also be due to vaginal use of medical preparations, HPV (Human Pappiloma Virus), the use of feminine hygiene products like douches or fragrances, less harmful diseases other than cancer, inflammation or infection from a yeast infections, herpes and trichomonas and even the pap smear in itself can cause inflammation and thus can trigger an abnormal test result.
This means that pap smears often produce 'false positives', meaning that whenever 'abnormal' cells (also called 'pre-cancerous' cells) are detected, your test result is positive, but that doesn't mean you have cancer or will develop cancer (contrary to what many women believe).
Even in the case of an HPV infection, which is said to be the cause of cervical cancer, yet never proven to be the cause(!), it is estimated that 90% of the cases clear up on their own.
Only certain strains of HPV that remain in the body for longer time may mean cancer is present (most cervical cancers are slow growing cancers), which in turn means the immune system is weakened, otherwise it would have tackled that HPV strain already.
It is known that STRESS weakens the immune system (there's also the theory that cancer is a reaction to stress) and many women experience stress before, during and after a pap smear. Before the pap smear, women often anticipate stress and anxiety (that she may remember from a previous gyn visit) for the invasive pelvic exam and afterwards she often feels stressed out because of waiting for the test results, but especially when she hears the verdict of having a positive test result. There are also women who develop PTSD from a traumatic pap smear experience.
All of this stress is unnecessary and dangerous, because she may be stressing needlessly over a false positive (meaning there is no cancer threat) and in the meanwhile her stress levels are weakening her immune system which makes her more susceptible for contracting disease- the very thing she is ironically trying to prevent by undergoing a pap smear.
Another reason why this costly and often stress-evoking test is questionable, is because it is done for a disease that is actually very rare, since it affects only slightly more than one half of one percent of women!
But this is not everything, as it is also a dangerous practice. The smears with positive test results, from which many are false positives, lead to more painful and invasive follow-up tests such as excisional biopsies as part of further diagnosis of 'abnormal' cervical cells and/or as part of immediate treatment during a colposcopy through either one or a combination of the following methods:
cold knife cone biopsy* (excision of a cone-shaped piece from the cervix with a scalpel/knife),
LLETZ: (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone. involves the excision of about 1½ sugar lumps of tissue from the cervix using a fine wire loop and diathermy current.) ,
LASER cone biopsy (a cone of tissue is excised using a LASER with carbon dioxide),
LASER ablation (a similar amount of tissue is ablated using LASER)
LASER diathermy (a similar amount of tissue is ablated using diathermy)
electrocoagulation (LEEP: Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure uses a wire loop heated by electric current cut off the bottom portion of the cervix ((100 degrees heat applied to cervix))
Needle excision of the transformation zone (NETZ)(– a cone of tissue is excised using a needle diathermy), or
cryocautery (freezing the cervix with liquid nitrogen)
which makes PAP smear screening in asymptomatic women especially those in the age group and any other circumstances that cause a high rate of false positives, not only unnecessary, but dangerous as well.
Why? Because these procedures damage the cervix, which in turn can have very harmful consequences such as:
cervical stenosis**(damage and narrowing of the passageway through the cervix) which can lead to:
endometriosis,
infertility,
hematometra (an accumulation of blood in the uterus),
pyometra (pus accumulated in the uterus),
(a hematometra or pyometra can cause pain or cause the uterus to bulge),
menstrual dysfunction such as no periods (amenorrhea), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and abnormal bleeding,
haemorrhage from the cervix, which may need blood transfusion or further surgery,
infections, may be introduced into the uterus or tubes or abdomen..
Also 'cervical incompetence' (and may require surgery (cerclage: stitching of the cervix) when the cervix is scarred shut)- which can cause:
difficulties during labour
miscarriages,
high risk pregnancy,
premature babies*** and
c-sections plus
psychological issues as well as
loss of sexual sensitivity (:Here is an example of a horrible "side-effect" of LEEP where a woman experiences difficulty in reaching an orgasm)
The general risks with this procedure include but are not limited to the following:
small areas of the lung can collapse, increasing the risk of chest infection. This may need antibiotics and physiotherapy.
Heart attack or stroke could occur due to the strain on the heart.
Blood clot in the leg (DVT) causing pain and swelling. In rare cases part of the clot may break off and go to the lungs.
Death as a result of this procedure is possible.
There is also an increased risk in obese people of wound infection, chest infection, heart and lung complications and thrombosis and in smokers of wound and chest infections, heart and lung complications and thrombosis.
Moreover, the HPV virus often comes back after several months when one of these procedures has been performed, leading to more amputations or a total hysterectomy.
LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) procedures can often lead to permanent cervical pain so severe, that the patient can no longer tolerate any type of vaginal penetration, including even tampons, and in extreme cases, the resulting pain is so intense that even day to day activities are impossible.
Is it really sane, do you think to have (part of) your cervix amputated to even make a mere diagnosis, risking to suffer so many debilitating complications?
Sadly enough, many women believe their gynecologist saved their life with one of these invasive procedures, whilst oftentimes she wasn't even at risk of dying or developing cancer, since many are treated based on a false positive PAP result (pap smears have a 67% inaccuracy rate). Instead of saving women's lives, many gynecologists harm and disable women's bodies and lives severely.
The gynecological practice proves to be very lucrative as well with no regards to the psychological and physiological damage being done to women, which is inhumane and should not be accepted in today's world. The unethical business of inaccurate PAP smears makes gynecologists exercise great control over women as it causes major over-detectment and over-treatment making women feel as if they are at the mercy of their own nature and doctors, but in reality, their medical problems are far too often caused by their gynecologist pretending to cure their "intrinsic female bodily flaws".

Conization of the cervix is defined as excision of a cone-shaped or cylindrical wedge from the cervix uteri that includes the transformation zone and all or a portion of the endocervical canal. It is used for the definitive diagnosis of squamous or glandular intraepithelial lesions, for excluding microinvasive carcinomas, and for conservative treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
**
A doctor will confirm the diagnosis of cervical stenosis by trying to pass a probe through the cervix into the uterus. It is only treated when the patient has symptoms from cervical stenosis, hematometra, or a pyometra. As part of treatment, the cervix is traditionally widened (dilated) by inserting small, lubricated metal rods (dilators) through its opening, then inserting progressively larger dilators. To try to keep the cervix open, doctors may place a tube (cervical stent) in the cervix for 4 to 6 weeks. The temporary cervical stent may get dislocated and may be associated with uterine infection due to prolonged dilated cervix. The cervical dilation treatment for this troublesome clinical problem (often caused by doctors themselves) is however associated with a high recurrence rate. This unsuccessful therapy can have further severe clinical consequences, including hysterectomy.

Womens' experiences: cervical stenosis

◊Doctors will say that bleeding up to 4 weeks after this procedure is normal, but many women experience bleeding for longer time and it can take years before it heals. The area where the excision was performed, is very sore and can still bleed especially after it's being touched for example during sexual intercourse, which makes sex unpleasant as well or even painful.

Re: Big Pharma and the Medical Health Industry
Beware: PSA prostate cancer screening test is a dangerous hoax, warns discoverer of prostate specific antigen
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. By the age of 50, most men have some cancerous prostate cells, although many will never know it unless they are screened, and most will not die from it.
Luckily, it's a slow growing cancer. Although prostate cancer cases increase with age, still, only about 3% of men actually die from it.
The American Cancer Society states that in 2013, approximately 238,590 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and estimates that about 29,720 men will die from it.
Interestingly, they also state, "Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men found to have prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 2.5 million men in the United States who have had prostate cancer at some point are still alive today."
PSA screening disaster
The standard PSA (prostate specific antigen) test was approved by the FDA in 1994, and each year millions of men are screened via a blood test for the PSA antigen, which is manufactured exclusively by the prostate gland.
For many men, this is when the serious life threatening trouble begins. Early, aggressive allopathic prostate cancer treatment can and does cause permanent damage, including impotence, heart attacks, incontinence and even death from a disease that is, ironically, statistically unlikely to kill them.
No-Holds-Barred indictment of PSA testing
In 1970, Richard J. Ablin discovered the PSA. In a 2010 N.Y. Times Op-Ed piece titled, "The Great Prostate Mistake," Mr. Ablin sets the record straight.
"As I've been trying to make clear for many years now, PSA testing can't detect prostate cancer and, more importantly, it can't distinguish between the two types of prostate cancer - the one that will kill you and the one that won't."
Ablin explains that a PSA test merely measures how much PSA or prostate specific antigen is in your blood. Although elevated levels of PSA can be detected, that alone does not necessarily indicateprostate cancer.
Why? Because common over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen, benign prostate enlargement (an inevitable part of aging) and infections also elevate PSA levels. Men with high PSA readings can becancer free, while those with low readings can actually have cancer!
Ablin exclaims, "I never dreamed that my discovery four decades ago would lead to such a profit-driven public health disaster. The medical community must confront reality and stop the inappropriate use of PSA screening. Doing so would save billions of dollars and rescue millions of men from unnecessary, debilitating treatments." (Emphasis added)
The respected British medical journal, Lancet, reported on 13 February 1993 early screening often leads to unnecessary treatment and "33% of autopsies show prostate cancer but only 1% die from it."
Dr. Tim O'Shea, a maverick Doctor of Chiropractic, holistic health lecturer, author and founder of the doctorwithin.com website states: "This means that the immune system can hold many problems in check, as long as it is not compromised by powerful [and/or toxic] procedures."
Gina Kolata of the New York Times cited two studies published in the March 2009 edition of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine that concluded PSA screening increased mortality!

Pink blankets and salivating doctors: A look at the transgender children phenomenon
Pay attention to stories about children who are transgender. Without fail, they are filled to the brim with gender stereotypes. Kids are being diagnosed for playing with the “wrong” toys and liking the “wrong” things. In many of the stories, it is clear that either the parents, or the community, has put great importance in dividing things and interests into “for boys” and “for girls”. Children have a limited understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl. For example, it’s not uncommon for children to think that the length of someone’s hair is what makes them a boy or a girl. If a child who likes dolls or long hair is told “those things are for girls”, their response might very well be “okay, then I want to be a girl”.
In this story, the mother of a boy tells us how “Instead of toy soldiers and trains, he asks for princesses and dolls for Christmas and birthdays”.
The mother of the child in this story talks about how her child said “I boy” as a toddler, and “rejected anything frilly or stereotypically girly”. The child themselves says the following:
Why this kid thinks that you need a certain type of body to be interested in skateboards is not elaborated on.
The father of this male child who likes to wear dresses, calls the child “gender-fluid”. The father is quoted:
While the father means well, the implications of this statement are not as progressive as it would seem. Liking “sparkly shoes and dresses” like this child did is somehow “opposite” from being a boy?
This male child expressed desire to “marry a prince”, and dressed up “as a girl” at home. The parents told the child “[y]ou can go home and live as Danielle, or you can go home and live as Daniel”. Going home and living as Daniel AND wearing dresses was apparently not an option.
The parents of this male child tell this story:
A five month old baby reaches for a pink blanket. An infant, who does not even grasp that objects exist even when they are out of sight, is capable of understanding that they are the “wrong” sex, capable of understanding that pink is a color more often worn by girls, and reaches for a blanket to somehow communicate all of this. And when the parents lets the child wear the same thing that the other children in the family wear, the child seems happier. Very mysterious.
Another article about the same child tells a story about a boy whose parents had strict rules for clothes and hair styles:
And:
“Letting” Coy wear a pink shirt – as if the color of a shirt is so important that you literally have to be a girl to be allowed it.
This story tells us that “the number of primary school children referred to the NHS with transgender feelings has quadrupled in five years”. What happens to these kids? According to the guidelines of World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), found here, in most children with “gender dysphoria”, the feelings will disappear before they become adults.
What treatments are these kids typically offered? Many of them are being given “puberty blockers”, drugs that prevent the body from going through puberty, putting maturation on hold. This is supposed to give them time to think, and decide whether they want to live as the sex they were born, or go on to take the hormones of the opposite sex. But how are these kids, many of whom have an extremely simplified and immature understanding of sex and gender, supposed to take this choice when their brains are being prevented from maturing? Lupron, the main drug being used for this purpose, can lead to permanent loss of bone density. It also has depression as a common side effect.
Doctors are now performing sex change operations on minor children:
In the same article, Dr. Norman Spack of Boston Children’s Hospital, says that he was “salivating” at the prospect of giving puberty suppressing medications to pre-pubescent children:
Children, who cannot legally get tattoos even with parental consent, are being sterilized, for a condition that seems to rely heavily on sexist stereotypes, by doctors who salivate at the thought of giving this treatment.

"We all know gender is a social construct and guidelines differ in cultures, eras, etc. So the little boy who wanted a pink blanket would be quite rightly gendered male say about 70 years ago, as pink was considered a much stronger color than blue, pink was manly and appropriate for strong male sexed people. Baby boys also wore dresses in frilly lace, didn’t have their hair cut as toddlers and wore mary janes?
How intuitive of a 2 year old to instinctively know that pink is now for girls, he must be on a second life with the knowledge that gender rules CHANGE. What a brilliant little boy."
The above is Franklin D Roosevelt as a baby boy.
False positives: How many 12-year-olds is it acceptable to mistakenly sterilize?
As anyone who has spent time reading my blog well knows, I am highly skeptical of the scant existing research which purports to show a binary, static “male” or “female” brain. To my knowledge, there is no research in existence that proves a gendered brain is present from birth; and that that gendered brain is unchanging and persistent throughout the lifespan, regardless of lived experience.
But for the purposes of this post, and despite this dearth of evidence for “brain sex,” let’s just assume that the strident proponents of childhood transition are correct: there is an immutable male and female brain, set in stone and impervious to change via life experience. (Of course, this flies in the face of the settled science of neuroplasticity—but we’ll ignore that for the time being). Further, we will assume that, for a small percentage of people who experience gender dysphoria in childhood (no more than about 20%, the number generally agreed upon even by the most zealous transgender advocates), this gendered brain is mistakenly lodged in the skull of the “wrong” body. It follows that there is such a thing as a truly transgender child. These kids really do have a mismatch between brain and body, and the most humane and medically responsible thing that can be done for them is to let them “transition” to the opposite sex, post haste. As young as possible.
Case closed? Not quite.
First, let’s be very clear what we are talking about here, in terms of pediatric medical treatment. The current protocol for children identified as transgender is puberty blockers (GnRH agonists) administered at the onset of puberty (Tanner Stage 2). The child is then monitored for several years, and if they continue to believe they are the opposite sex, cross-sex hormones are started, so as to prevent natural puberty occurring in the “wrong” gender (i.e., the biological sex of the child). In the case of a natal girl with two x chromosomes and a biologically female body, she will not go through maturation of the ovaries, menstruation, breast development, nor other primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone for a girl) will cause her to develop more in line with the sexual characteristics of a male: a slightly enlarged clitoris, increased body and facial hair, and an enlarged larynx resulting in a deepened voice. She will thus avoid the assumed trauma of going through the “wrong” puberty, with shrinkage and no maturation of her internal reproductive organs. She will appear more or less as the gender (male) she (now he) identifies with. These changes are permanent. They cannot be undone.
And one of these permanent changes is of special import: In nearly every case, this treatment protocol will result in irreversible sterility. This child will never be able to produce their own biological children. However, the gender experts believe this outcome is worth it and justified for “truly transgender” children. The puberty-blocked girl (who still has the brain of a prepubescent child, not that of a maturing adolescent) agrees that transitioning is far more important than future fertility, and the adults in charge make the monumental decision to destroy the child’s future reproductive capacity.
Fair enough? Maybe, if we continue to assume that there is such a thing as a “truly transgender” person with an immutable, innate gender identity; if we treat this condition as a sort of birth defect that will never change, even later in life; and that the young person in question will be forever miserable to the point of suicide if they do not chemically and surgically alter and thereby sterilize their hated and mistaken body.
The problem is, these gender experts—from the most certain to the most cautious—agree that they don’t reliably know which of these children really will be transgender for life. And what that means isthere are going to be some false positives: kids who will mistakenly go through extreme medical and pharmaceutical treatments—not just in childhood and adolescence, but for life, since hormones must constantly be administered to suppress the “wrong” body from reverting to the characteristics normal for the genetic makeup of the person. Some number of these kids will have been misdiagnosed. It’s inevitable. Even the most careful clinician, who believes they have narrowed their treatment cohort to only those children who are most “persistent, consistent, and insistent” cannot prevent this, because the research simply isn’t there to tell clinicians who will or won’t grow up to be truly transgendered.
Let’s agree, for the sake of discussion, that these gender clinicians—and the parents who are authorizing the treatments—truly believe they are doing the right thing. They believe that these puberty-blocked children who continue to insist they are the opposite sex are correct. It’s worth repeating that these children’s brains, and thus their critical thinking, reasoning, judgment, and other aspects of executive function, have also not been allowed to mature; because puberty is about brain development, not just secondary sex characteristics. No matter how careful these clinicians and parents are, they are still going to catch a few wrong fish in the transition net they are casting.
Does this matter? How many misdiagnosed kids are acceptable? How many sterilized children (many of whom might otherwise have grown up to be gay or lesbian adults) are ok? 100? 50? 20? 2? 1?
Put it this way: If there were any other treatment, for any other disorder, which resulted in sterilizing prepubescent children, and which caused irreversible, permanent changes with as-yet-unknown side effects, you’d better believe that treatment would be limited to only the most extreme cases—and even then, only after extensive clinical trials.
We don’t remove organs and body parts, we don’t give children powerful drugs for any other disorder based on what currently amounts to clinical guesswork. We don’t remove organs or administer chemotherapy because someone might go on to develop cancer later. We don’t prescribe poorly studied, off-label drugs or perform surgery on children to relieve them from psychological distress in any other case apart from “gender dysphoria.” Surgeries and lifelong drug treatment are rightly seen as last resorts, not the first line of treatment for a problem that might turn out to be transient.
The media and trans activists are constantly telling us how important it is to transition children—as young as possible. But what about the kids who might be wrongly diagnosed? Why does no one talk about them? Why is their future happiness not a subject for media exploration? What about the suicide rates of adults who realize with horror later in life that they actually don’t want hormones and surgeries? That it was all a big mistake? That they don’t want to have to routinely stretch or pump up their artificially constructed sexual organs to keep them in some sort of working order? What about the adults who will mourn the children they were never allowed to bear because of decisions made by parents and doctors decades earlier?
If we care about all children, including the 80-95% of kids who in fact are only “gender nonconforming”; if only a small number of “truly transgender” children exist, why not allow those few to transition as adults, when they have the cognitive wherewithal to decide for themselves? Why not simply help them cope with their feelings of dysphoria in childhood, instead of stunting their intellectual, emotional, and physical development, and risking the huge mistake of proactively sterilizing even one non-transgender child for life?
Would it really be so terrible for parents to simply let their kids wear what they want, pursue activities they want, heck, “identify” as they want, without the medical piece?
It only takes one person to file a malpractice lawsuit. There is no minimum number for a class action suit, but given the increasing numbers of children undergoing these early transition protocols, the typical 20-50 plaintiffs is not an unlikely number for future adults willing to litigate; a fraction of the people who will wish their parents and doctors had simply allowed them to dress and behave as they wished as children, without making permanent decisions that could not be undone.
So I ask the gender specialists, the parents, the activists, the journalists celebrating the medical transition of children: Granting you for the moment that your fervent belief in immutable, innate gender corresponds to reality, what concern do you have for the children who will be wrongly sterilized, drugged, and surgically altered? Do those children matter to you at all?
Is it acceptable to wrongly sterilize even ONE child?
Pay attention to stories about children who are transgender. Without fail, they are filled to the brim with gender stereotypes. Kids are being diagnosed for playing with the “wrong” toys and liking the “wrong” things. In many of the stories, it is clear that either the parents, or the community, has put great importance in dividing things and interests into “for boys” and “for girls”. Children have a limited understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl. For example, it’s not uncommon for children to think that the length of someone’s hair is what makes them a boy or a girl. If a child who likes dolls or long hair is told “those things are for girls”, their response might very well be “okay, then I want to be a girl”.
In this story, the mother of a boy tells us how “Instead of toy soldiers and trains, he asks for princesses and dolls for Christmas and birthdays”.
The mother of the child in this story talks about how her child said “I boy” as a toddler, and “rejected anything frilly or stereotypically girly”. The child themselves says the following:
Evan Singleton has now been living five years as a boy but remembers the pain of pretending.
“All the girls were doing Barbie dolls and nail polish, and I just wasn’t one of them,” he said. “All the boys were doing skateboards and helmets, and I wanted to do that stuff. I never felt right in that body.”
Why this kid thinks that you need a certain type of body to be interested in skateboards is not elaborated on.
The father of this male child who likes to wear dresses, calls the child “gender-fluid”. The father is quoted:
‘In truth, the realization that one of my children identifies with a gender that is opposite the sex she was born with was, and remains, absolutely unremarkable,’
While the father means well, the implications of this statement are not as progressive as it would seem. Liking “sparkly shoes and dresses” like this child did is somehow “opposite” from being a boy?
This male child expressed desire to “marry a prince”, and dressed up “as a girl” at home. The parents told the child “[y]ou can go home and live as Danielle, or you can go home and live as Daniel”. Going home and living as Daniel AND wearing dresses was apparently not an option.
The parents of this male child tell this story:
At 5 months, she took a pink blanket meant for her sister Lily. Later, she showed little interest in toy cars and boy clothes with pictures of sports, monsters and dinosaurs on them. She refused to leave the house if she had to wear boy clothes. After her parents accepted her identity, they said, Coy come out of her shell.
A five month old baby reaches for a pink blanket. An infant, who does not even grasp that objects exist even when they are out of sight, is capable of understanding that they are the “wrong” sex, capable of understanding that pink is a color more often worn by girls, and reaches for a blanket to somehow communicate all of this. And when the parents lets the child wear the same thing that the other children in the family wear, the child seems happier. Very mysterious.
Another article about the same child tells a story about a boy whose parents had strict rules for clothes and hair styles:
At three and a half, Coy turned sullen. He’d spend days on the couch, wrapped in the fuzzy pink security blanket he’d commandeered from his sister. He didn’t want to play, or talk. He especially didn’t want to go outside; any enthusiasm Coy might show for a trip to the playground would disappear as soon as he’d catch sight of the boys’ clothes he was expected to swap for the dresses he wore at home. The only thing Coy hated more was the prospect of getting a haircut; the last time his parents had suggested it, Coy had taken to his bed for days, listless and tearful.
And:
Little by little, Kathryn began letting Coy leave home dressed in a pink shirt – anything to pry him from the house with minimal fuss – and soon enough, with pink sneakers to match. Jeremy drew the line at letting Coy wear colorful hair clips outdoors. “I was trying to avoid a negative experience,” recalls Jeremy, who is even-tempered and stocky with rimless glasses. “Someone going, ‘Why are you dressing your son up as a girl?'”
“Letting” Coy wear a pink shirt – as if the color of a shirt is so important that you literally have to be a girl to be allowed it.
This story tells us that “the number of primary school children referred to the NHS with transgender feelings has quadrupled in five years”. What happens to these kids? According to the guidelines of World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), found here, in most children with “gender dysphoria”, the feelings will disappear before they become adults.
Gender dysphoria during childhood does not inevitably continue into adulthood.V Rather, in follow-up studies of prepubertal children (mainly boys) who were referred to clinics for assessment of gender dysphoria, the dysphoria persisted into adulthood for only 6–23% of children (Cohen-Kettenis, 2001; Zucker & Bradley, 1995). Boys in these studies were more likely to identify as gay in adulthood than as transgender (Green, 1987; Money & Russo, 1979; Zucker & Bradley, 1995; Zuger, 1984). Newer studies, also including girls, showed a 12–27% persistence rate of gender dysphoria into adulthood (Drummond, Bradley, Peterson-Badali, & Zucker, 2008; Wallien & Cohen-Kettenis, 2008).
What treatments are these kids typically offered? Many of them are being given “puberty blockers”, drugs that prevent the body from going through puberty, putting maturation on hold. This is supposed to give them time to think, and decide whether they want to live as the sex they were born, or go on to take the hormones of the opposite sex. But how are these kids, many of whom have an extremely simplified and immature understanding of sex and gender, supposed to take this choice when their brains are being prevented from maturing? Lupron, the main drug being used for this purpose, can lead to permanent loss of bone density. It also has depression as a common side effect.
Doctors are now performing sex change operations on minor children:
Dr. Christine McGinn estimated that she had done more than 30 operations on children under 18, about half of them vaginoplasties for biological boys becoming girls, and the other half double mastectomies for girls becoming boys.
In the same article, Dr. Norman Spack of Boston Children’s Hospital, says that he was “salivating” at the prospect of giving puberty suppressing medications to pre-pubescent children:
Dr. Spack recalled being at a meeting in Europe about 15 years ago, when he learned that the Dutch were using puberty blockers in transgender early adolescents.
“I was salivating,” he recalled. “I said we had to do this.”
Children, who cannot legally get tattoos even with parental consent, are being sterilized, for a condition that seems to rely heavily on sexist stereotypes, by doctors who salivate at the thought of giving this treatment.
