autism after its vaccine Infanrix?
18
The question we should all be asking is why have one hundred fifty cases of measles in a nation of over three hun-
dred million people garnered virtual nonstop media attention for weeks and prompted the introduction of legislation
nationwide to restrict vaccine exemptions?
Could the frenzy be a diversion from looming Congressional hearings investigating claims of CDC whistleblower Dr.
William Thompson, a senior scientist, that he and CDC officials omitted data from a study over a decade ago to conceal
the link between the MMR vaccine and autism? Or perhaps lawsuits against vaccine giant Merck alleging Merck man-
19
20
agement and scientists fraudulently concealed the fact that Merck’s MMR vaccine is not as effective as claimed? Or
21
perhaps the abject failure of this year’s flu vaccine, merely 23 percent effective?
Media coverage of measles cases and vaccine exemptions suggests an emergency over measles, but the true
emergency is the failing health of our nation’s children with 54 percent suffering from an autoimmune disease or neuro-
developmental disability, which science links to vaccines. 22,23 Although U.S. children are the most heavily vaccinated in
the world, thirty-three developed nations have lower infant mortality rates. Contrast this with zero deaths from measles
in ten years but one hundred eight deaths reported after MMR vaccine.
24
The media routinely blame unvaccinated individuals for recent disease outbreaks, but most of those who contracted
mumps, pertussis, or measles in the majority of recent outbreaks were vaccinated, and nations with vaccination rates
of 97-99 percent still suffer outbreaks. 25,26 The true culprit is vaccine failure, as vaccine-induced immunity is not perma-
nent. 27,28,29,30 In addition, science shows vaccinated individuals can and do carry and spread disease, and hospitals warn
immuno-compromised patients to avoid those recently vaccinated. 31,32,33,34,35,36 (Please note that since writing this letter,
both St. Jude's and Johns Hopkins removed their website warning to the immuno-compromised to avoid those recently
vaccinated with live virus vaccines.)
We all want to live in as safe a society as possible, but how can anyone argue that any pharmaceutical product is
safe for all, or that we know what is best for others? What’s next? Should we ban from public places those who eat sugar
and junk food, foods that undermine our immune systems, or those with a cough from leaving home? Do we really want
to cede ownership of our bodies to the state? I don’t.
