VACCINES AND MEASLES
Early in the last century, measles killed millions of people per year. Then the death rate dropped—by the 1960s, by 98 percent. The measles vaccine entered the market in 1963, and the death rate dropped a bit more, just continuing its downward trend. Other infectious diseases—such as scarlet fever and typhus—petered out in a similar way without any vaccines. Most scientists agree that the decline in death rates goes to improved nutrition, sanitation and health care. Most of the deaths occurred among the poor or in those who had underlying diseases. When a child has measles, he or she has immunity for life and that immunity is passed through the mother to give immunity to her offspring for the first year. But immunity from vaccines wears off and one unintended consequence of the measles vaccine is that more pregnant women are getting the measles—and when this happens, the results can be serious. A study in Houston of twelve pregnant women and one who had just given birth, all of whom had the measles while pregnant, found one died, seven suffered pneumonia and seven hepatitis, four went through premature labor and one lost her child in a spontaneous abortion. A study of eight measles pregnancies in Japan found three had spontaneous abortions or stillbirths while four babies were born with congenital measles; two mothers had pneumonia and one suffered hemorrhagic shock. A Los Angeles study of fifty-eight measles pregnancies found twenty-one ended prematurely and two died. More babies are also getting measles, and babies have a greater risk of complications. At least five measles vaccines have been withdrawn from the market because of high rates of serious reactions. The current vaccine is said to be safer, but also wears off more quickly (business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/lawrence-solomon-the-untold-story-of-measles). Vitamins A and C are highly protective against the measles. As early as 1932, scientists found that mortality dropped by 58 percent when children hospitalized with measles were given cod liver oil. Later studies in the 1990s showed amazing results of vitamin A reducing deaths by 60 to 90 percent. Research also indicates that people who have childhood measles have lower rates of cancer and allergies.
VACCINES AND WHOOPING COUGH
It seems that nature just does not want to cooperate with our plan to control childhood diseases using vaccinations. A study just published in Pediatrics (doi:10.1542/peds.2014-3358) found that protection from whooping cough (pertussis) wears off just two to four years after the vaccine. Like the measles vaccine, the more effective the shot, the more dangerous it is. The whole cell pertussis vaccine was removed from the market in 1997 after many years of documented brain damage, such as acute encephalopathy, and health officials now openly admit that the current “safer” vaccine is less effective. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database lists almost seven thousand severe reactions to the pertussis injection—which means, according to FDA and CDC, that the actual numbers could be ten to one hundred times higher. As the pertussis vaccine is given in combination with two other vaccines (diphtheria and tetanus), it’s hard to say which one is causing the most reactions. Pertussis rates have been rising in recent years, after a low of less than three thousand in 1987. Outbreaks have occurred in fully vaccinated populations, such as a 2014 outbreak in a Jewish summer camp. In fact, former Wistar vaccine developer Stanley Plotkin, MD, an advisor to Sanofi Pasteur and vocal champion of vaccines, recently told the Third Annual Conference on Vaccines hosted by the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, that recent whooping cough outbreaks are due to a failing vaccine. He concluded that a new vaccine is needed. It will be interesting to see whether the new vaccine will be a more dangerous whole cell version. Whooping cough can indeed be a serious illness, with intense coughing lingering for weeks; but the side effects of the vaccine, such as brain damage, can last a lifetime. Some researchers believe that this vaccine can cause deranged sugar metabolism, hyperinsulinemia and obesity (hormonesmatter.com/obesity-childhood-vaccines-blame/).
VACCINES AND HEPATITIS B
Hepatitis B is a disease that afflicts drug users and sexually promiscuous adults. Only about 1 percent of pregnant women test positive for hepatitis B. Nevertheless, unless parents request an opt-out, the HepB vaccine is given to all U.S. babies on day one after birth. Premature babies get the vaccine within twenty-four hours of birth, even though the package inserts clearly state that there are risks to premature babies—in fact no safety studies have been carried out on premature babies at all—and even though transmission from an infected mother to her baby is rare. Health data show about ten thousand cases per year of hepatitis B, mostly from intravenous drug use, heterosexual contact with infected persons or multiple partners, and homosexual activity, so there is really no money in giving the vaccine to the vulnerable population. Then how were the drug companies to recoup their investment in the vaccine’s development? Why, give the three doses to all U.S. babies, starting at day one! Hepatitis B is not even a killer disease—most sufferers recover and then have life-long immunity. But the vaccine itself does kill, or results in learning disabilities that can last a lifetime.
VACCINES AND MUMPS
Merck & Co, the world’s largest vaccine maker, is facing federal fraud charges in the case of United States v. Merck & Co. According to two former employees, now whistleblowers, the company engaged in fraud and concealment, falsified test data and claimed the mumps vaccine in development was effective when it was not. If the court upholds the complaints, Merck could be liable for hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly even billions, in damages. For more than thirty years, Merck has enjoyed an exclusive license granted by the FDA to manufacture and sell its measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to the public. To retain its licensing rights, Merck was required to prove that its updated vaccine was at least 95 percent effective, and the whistleblowers claim that Merck knew it was only 67.6 percent effective.
HPV VACCINE: DANGEROUS, COSTLY, USELESS
A three-dose vaccine aimed at young women, claimed to protect them against human papilloma virus (HPV), called Gardasil, has the pharmaceutical industry abuzz about the potential for a greatly expanded market—vaccines, multiple vaccines, for adults to prevent cancer. Promoted with slick advertising campaigns, Gardasil sales have accounted for greatly increased revenues for Merck & Co., its manufacturer. But according to a pharmaceutical industry insider, Dr. Bernard Dalbergue, the cervical cancer vaccine is ineffective and has tragic side effects, including paralysis, MS, convulsions and blindness, and has caused dozens of deaths. One of the ingredients in Gardasil is polysorbate 80, an emulsifier that keeps all the other ingredients, like aluminum, in an even suspension; it also helps transport chemicals and drugs across the blood brain barrier. It can also cause infertility. Said Dalbergue: “I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers.” He adds that the financial interest in the vaccine makes it very difficult to withdraw.
MORE TO COME
Medscape listed “vaccines as cancer protections” among the top twenty medical breakthroughs in the last twenty years—along with statins for secondary prevention (that is, statins for everyone). According to vaccine millionaire Paul Offit, MD, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the “recently licensed 9-valent product has a chance to eliminate as many as twenty-nine thousand cases of cancer each year and as many as five thousand deaths.” Sandra Fryhofer, MD, a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices at the CDC, adds, “A vaccine that prevents cancer, rather than treating it once diagnosed, is major. Now we just have to increase vaccination rates” (medscape.com/features/slideshow/20th-anniversary#page=19). That means vaccinating boys as well as girls, then adults, then everyone for other “cancer-preventing” vaccines in the pipeline.
TRAINING PARENTS
Parents following the vaccination schedule bring their babies in at two, four and six months for their recommended vaccinations. A PhD immunologist and vaccine proponent, who declined to be named, has admitted during a conference involving health professionals that babies are only given shots up to age one in order to “train the parents” to get their children into the medical system. Confessing that “the science seems fairly clear that for the first year of life. . . the immunization is not stimulating the kind of response we expect it to stimulate,” she then stated that “The vaccines are given at pediatric wellness visits, and the idea is that you are training the parent to bring their children at all the pediatric wellness visits, and that it’s only the year visit that actually is truly important. But that for most parents you are not going to get them to bring their kid in if they don’t come in at two months, four months and six months. And so it’s actually more of a training thing.” You can listen to this dreadful admission—given flippantly and with laughter—at infowars.com/immunologist-admits-babies-only-vaccinated-to-train-parents/.
VACCINES WORKING?
U.S. medical personnel, health officials and virtually the entire major media outlets insist that vaccinations are perfectly safe. To make this statement, officials had to redefine the word “safe.” If you need to rush your screaming, hyperventilating, seizing baby to the emergency room after a vaccination, the hospital staff will tell you that this is “just a normal reaction.” When a large study from Canada found that one in one hundred sixty-eight toddlers aged twelve months old were rushed to emergency rooms in the four-to-twelve-day period after getting the MMR shot, the lead author of the study concluded, “This is the vaccine working” (PLoS Medicine One Journal Dec 12, 2011).
ITALIAN COURTS RULE: VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM
In September 2014, an Italian court in Milan awarded compensation to a boy who became autistic after receiving a shot containing six vaccines. Reported widely in the Italian press, the U.S. press ignored it completely. The court concluded that the child more likely than not suffered autism and brain damage because of mercury and aluminum in the vaccine “in concentrations exceeding the maximum recommended levels for infants weighing only a few kilograms.” A key document in the case was a confidential GlaxoSmithKline report, now available on the Internet, which reported five cases of autism caused by the vaccine in clinical trials (https://autismoevaccini.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/vaccin-dc3a9cc3a8s.pdf). As in the U.S., the company will not pay out any money—compensation will come from the Italian government.
TARGETING THE UNBORN
Up to five vaccines are recommended for pregnant women—five jabs loaded with aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, MSG, polysorbate and other additives (cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/downloads/f_preg_chart.pdf). This is an obvious growth area for the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. government is pitching in. In a National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) report published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in early 2015, the department details new concerted efforts to target pregnant women. The report calls for the development of a national maternal immunization program, and the achievement of vaccination goals—especially for pertussis and flu vaccines. If you read the package inserts, you will find that none of these vaccines has been tested on pregnant women—to do so would be highly unethical. Only five years ago it was policy never to vaccinate a pregnant woman.
DISAPPEARING DATA
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) went into effect in 1988. The VICP was established “to ensure an adequate supply of vaccines, stabilize vaccine costs, and establish and maintain an accessible and efficient forum for individuals found to be injured by certain vaccines.” The biggest impediment to the vaccine producers was huge lawsuits for vaccine injuries; the VICP gave the pharmaceutical companies immunity from prosecution for injuries, and paved the way for the rapid growth of the vaccine industry. Compensation comes from a seventy-five cent tax on each vaccine given. Since January of 2014, twice as many victims have won compensation than the previous eight years combined. In these cases, the vaccine court ruled the evidence showed vaccines “more likely than not” caused the plaintiff’s injuries. Also on the rise is the number of vaccine injury cases the government has “conceded”: up 55 percent in a little over one year. However in March the federal government removed the latest vaccine injury court statistics—more than a year’s worth of data—from one of its publicly reported charts. It was an abrupt departure from the normal practice of updating the figures monthly. Wiping the latest data means the “adjudication” chart on a government website no longer reflects the recent sharp rise in court victories for plaintiffs who claimed that they or their children were seriously injured or killed by one or more vaccines. For example, the number of flu vaccine cases conceded by the government since January of 2014 is more than double the previous eight years combined. The adjudication chart only reflects half of the current number. Only about one injury case for every million doses of vaccines is compensated in vaccine court. Adverse events occur more frequently, according to vaccine warning labels, but rarely end up in the little-known vaccine court.
DEBILITATING ILLNESSES
While the American press remains silent, the media in the U.K. are doing what journalism is supposed to do—exposing the deaths and injuries from vaccinations, especially the HPV vaccine, said to protect teenage girls against cervical cancer caused by the HPV virus. First to publish was The Independent, with the headline: “Thousands of teenage girls enduring debilitating illnesses after routine school cancer vaccination.” Similar stories followed in The Daily Mail and The Telegraph. The message: the Gardasil vaccine causes dramatic life-altering damage and does so more frequently than “evidence-based medicine” or “consensus science” admits or that MDs, the medical profession, public health agencies and pro-vaccine acolytes acknowledge. According to the U.K.’s adverse drug reaction (ADR) information, in the ten years to April this year the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency received almost twenty-two thousand “spontaneous suspected” adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports in thirteen routine immunization categories including flu, MMR, tetanus, diphtheria and polio. The vaccine with the most ADR reports was the human papillomavirus (HPV) (Gardasil®, Cervarix®, and recently licensed Gardasil 9®) with over eight thousand ADRs. Next in line is the annual influenza virus vaccine with three thousand ADRs. The MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) with sixteen hundred ADRs is third highest. In 2013 via freedom-of-information documents, thirty years of secret official documents show that the U.K. government vaccine/medical experts have 1) known the vaccines don’t work; 2) known they cause the diseases they are supposed to prevent; 3) known they are a hazard to children; 4) colluded to lie to the public; and 5) worked to prevent safety studies! (activistpost.com/2015/05/uks-independent-newspaper-blows-lid-off.html). The HPV vaccine is the subject of lawsuits or government investigation in several countries, including Japan, India, Spain and France.
FRAUDULENT CONTROLS
One of the charges in the current lawsuit in Spain against Merck is that the company failed to use an inert placebo during clinical trials. What this means is that in clinical trials designed to test the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine, the FDA allowed the manufacturer to compare women who received “placebo” injections containing aluminum. These aluminum-containing injections are not true placebos, which should be harmless substances, such as saline solution. This tactic improves safety data by making the vaccine appear to have the same results as the placebo. In addition, Merck “forgot” to study the vaccine for reproductive effects. Many HPV vaccine recipients are reporting primary ovarian failure—the vaccine has made them sterile.
BUT WHAT ABOUT POLIO?
The most persuasive arguments for vaccinating children have to do with polio. Didn’t the polio vaccine wipe out this truly tragic epidemic of viral disease? Seems like an open-and-shut case for vaccination. However, the campaign to eradicate polio is littered with accidents, contradiction, confusion and fraud. Health officials introduced the live attenuated Salk vaccine in the U.S. in 1955. The Sabin oral polio vaccine followed in 1961. At that time, the diagnostic criteria for polio were changed. Before introduction of the vaccine, patients diagnosed with paralytic polio had to exhibit symptoms of paralysis for twenty-four hours; after the vaccines they had to exhibit symptoms of paralysis for sixty days. In addition, before the polio vaccine, coxsackie virus and aseptic meningitis were lumped in together with polio with no lab confirmation, but after the introduction of the vaccine, coxsackie virus and aseptic meningitis were separated out and lab confirmation was required. So naturally the rates of polio seemed to come down. But worse, to create the vaccines, both Salk and Sabin used primary cell cultures from monkey kidneys to attenuate the polioviruses. Unfortunately, one of the monkeys used, the rhesus macaque monkey, carries the SV40 virus, which can cause cancer in other animals and humans. In 1959, researchers discovered that the Salk vaccine—given to more than one hundred million people worldwide between 1954 and 1961—was contaminated with the SV40 virus. In 1998, scientists found SV40 in human brain, bone and lung tumors, as well as in 45 percent of sperm from healthy men. U.S. public health officials have acknowledged that live SV40 did contaminate both inactivated and live polio vaccines between 1955 and 1963, but insist that it does not cause human cancers. Still, vaccine manufacturers no longer use rhesus macaque monkey kidney cells, but cells from African green monkey kidneys instead. But some researchers believe that the live oral polio vaccine, made with green monkey cells and tested on children in central Africa in the late 1950s and early 1960s, was the origin of the HIV virus. Another problem: viruses associated with polio have very high mutation rates during replication in the gastrointestinal tract and are continually recombining and evolving in humans and animals. This seems to be the explanation for the emergence of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP)—scientists found that the vaccine strain live polioviruses in the oral vaccine could mutate or revert to forms as neurovirulent as wild-type polio, and cause polio in the recipients or in those they come in contact with. When the U.S. finally abandoned use of the live virus oral vaccine in 1999, it was considered responsible for the only cases of poliovirus-related infection and paralysis reported in the U.S. Health officials admit that between 2000 and 2005, the oral polio vaccine caused eight outbreaks of paralytic polio in Third World countries. Lessons learned, and now in the U.S. we use the inactivated injectable vaccine made from green monkey kidney cells. Polio has disappeared, case closed. Or has it? In 2014, neurologists began reporting cases of paralysis and death in children fully vaccinated against polio. So of course they don’t call it polio. “Acute flaccid paralysis” has occurred in dozens on American children and tens of thousands of children in heavily vaccinated India.
A VIRAL DISEASE?
If polio is caused by a virus, it will continue to mutate, continue to confound vaccine manufacturers and health officials. But is it caused by a virus? In the Fall 2002 issue of Wise Traditions, we published an article, “Pesticides and Polio,” pointing the finger at central nervous system poisons from pesticides, especially DDT, as the cause of this terrible disease. The first polio vaccine was introduced shortly after the DDT ban in the U.S. and got the credit for the steep decline in the disease. So why do we find a virus associated with polio? The explanation is something called accelerated genetic recombination. Genetic recombination is accelerated whenever a biological system is threatened, as with pesticides, radiation or chemotherapy. When a cell is critically threatened, accelerated genetic recombination (which may include virus proliferation) is just one of a set of events that may occur, a set of events called the “SOS response.” But whether polio is caused by neurotoxins or by viruses, the approach to treatment and prevention should be the same: good nutrition, starting with plentiful vitamin A, the body’s first defense against viruses and toxins.
SIDEBARS
THE GREATEST LIE CAMPAIGN
In order to educate the public quickly as to the risks of vaccines, the Vaccine Liberation Army has developed “The Greatest Lie Ever Told” stickers and decals. You can join the hundreds of concerned citizens who are distributing these stickers and decals—even students in high schools are plastering the insides of toilet stalls and other places with this emotionally wrenching sticker.
Large decals are available for cars. It only takes one vehicle per town to wake up your entire community. Your car parked at school, in town, at the doctor’s office, at a shopping center will create such doubt in the onlooker that they will begin to question the establishment’s position on vaccine safety. Mobile advertising is one of the most effective advertising tools in the industry. Remember on the WHO/CDC USDeptHHS horizon is a draft for compulsory adult vaccinations.
Join their mobile fleet and Facebook group, “The Greatest Lie Campaign.” For stickers and decals go to: vaccineliberationarmy.com/sticker-strategy/infantry/. For a five-minute PowerPoint presentation of the issue put “Humanity666” in the vaccineliberationarmy.com search engine.
IMPORTANT VACCINE INFORMATION WEBSITES
OPINION PIECE FOR THE IDAHO STATESMAN
Leslie Mannokian, Writer/Producer, “The Greater Good”
Do you rely on our local and national newspapers and media for accurate and honest reporting on the issues that affect all Idahoans? If so, you might want to consider the fact that our newspapers are not reporting on some issues, issues of grave concern to many Idahoans.
Have you read about the CDC whistleblower—a senior scientist from CDC who issued a statement that he and his co-authors (other senior figures at CDC) deliberately omitted data to conceal the link they found between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism?1
Have you read that two former Merck scientists have blown the whistle and are suing vaccine-giant Merck in federal court for fraudulently altering data to make it seem that the mumps portion of their MMR vaccine worked in 95 percent of recipients in order to retain their license from FDA when they knew it did not?2
Have you read that the National Vaccination Compensation Program has compensated eighty-three cases of acknowledged vaccine-induced brain damage, which include autism, but federal health officials still claim vaccines don’t
cause autism?3
If you haven’t read about these cases in our newspapers or seen coverage of these stories in other media, perhaps that is because the pharmaceutical industry is the largest advertiser today, spending billions every year, and these media outlets don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them. Or perhaps those running these media outlets are afraid of the truth.
Either way, we want to share with you the opinion piece we submitted to the Idaho Statesman. This piece is largely the same as an opinion piece we sent to the Idaho Mountain Express in response to inaccurate and misleading opinion pieces run by both newspapers. Unfortunately, neither of our opinion pieces was published.
We were very disappointed at this seeming censorship, in particular because our opinion pieces were supported by over thirty citations from published, peer-reviewed scientific literature. The Idaho Statesmen stated that they were afraid the opinion piece might frighten parents. We would say that parents are already frightened because they do not feel they are being told the truth by federal health agencies or the media and our experience would suggest that is true.
Following is our fully referenced opinion piece: The Idaho Statesman’s opinion piece on vaccines stopped short of advocating mandatory vaccines but stated that parents should not “expect to take advantage of a public education if you are unwilling to participate in sound public health precautions.” Given that most parents do not have the resources to home-school, this amounts to a call for forced vaccination.
The assumption that “sound public health advice” is absolute is quite worrying. After all, one-size-fits-all is never appropriate with any pharmaceutical product—but public health officials say this is the case with vaccines. Nor is science infallible. Indeed for decades federal health officials have advised reducing dietary saturated fat and emphasizing carbohydrates, but recent science has proven how dangerous that advice can be.4 What is sound advice today may not be so sound tomorrow. Add to this the fact that properly prescribed FDA approved drugs kill over one hundred thousand Americans every year and that drug companies have paid thirty billion dollars in fines for repeated fraud, and it’s no wonder why some folks question “sound public health advice” and want to decide for themselves what is best for their own families.5,6
Though it is commonly believed that vaccines are safe for all but a very few, abundant science proves this assertion false. In producing and screening our award-winning documentary on vaccines, “The Greater Good,” we met dozens of scientists who had published studies concerning adverse vaccine reactions, interviewed dozens of doctors who expressed reservations about vaccine safety, and met thousands of families whose children were injured or died after vaccination.
All too often scientists and doctors who acknowledge vaccine risks are demonized and marginalized with the threat of losing their medical licenses.7 And caring, educated parents who research vaccine safety for themselves, often after having a child suffer vaccine injury, are dismissed as ill-informed, anti-vaccine crazies, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Opinion polls show that vaccine safety is of concern to most American parents and that those who question vaccine safety are mostly highly educated, affluent folks.8,9,10
It is often stated that vaccines are irrefutably safe. Why, then, does U.S. law recognize vaccines can injure and kill?11 Why has the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) paid out over three billion dollars to victims?12 Why do many receive gag orders? Why does VICP list death, anaphylaxis, brain damage and related seizures, and mental impairment as compensable vaccine injuries?13 Why has the Supreme Court determined that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe?”14 Why are vaccine makers shielded from liability for vaccines?15,16 Why does government maintain the Vaccine Averse Events Reporting System to track vaccine injuries?17 Why do Glaxo-SmithKline’s internal documents show children develop 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 hundred 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?19 Or perhaps lawsuits against vaccine giant Merck alleging Merck management and scientists fraudulently concealed the fact that Merck’s MMR vaccine is not as effective as claimed?20 Or perhaps the abject failure of this year’s flu vaccine, merely 23 percent effective?21
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 neurodevelopmental 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 permanent. 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.

Yep, caustic.
Politicians first break your leg, then give you a crutch, and say “See? If it weren’t fot the Government, you wouldn’t be able to walk!”
There is a certain level of intolerance that societies need to implement in order to fight of boredom. We are not intolerant of jews, blacks, drug addicts or transexuals anymore, so we “good citizens” have to find another issue to satisfy the authoritarian vein. Something to beterrified with and to complain about every Sunday, in a church house or in a mall’s restaurant. Something journalists can write articles about and politicians can write bills about.
What if someone says “No more immigrants until they come fully vaccinated before crossing the border.” Would the progressives write temporal exemptions for immigrants to not vaccinate their children until they enter the country?
I can’t understand why so many people systematically believe anything the Government says. What are they so afraid of?
“The Statesman said that they were afraid the opinion piece might frighten parents.”
My response to such people is, “So, you want them to die peacefully.”
Obvious case of projection. The editors don’t like it, so they call on the parents.
Another response might be, “uh, it’s the children that I’m worried about.”
Just weeks after our one-year old son received an “all-in-one” vaccination he began to show symptoms of Type-1 diabetes. He is almost ten now, nine years a customer of Novo Nordisk.
Well, we KNOW it couldn’t have been the vaccines; they’re “safe and effective.” (sarcasm) So sorry to hear of that damage.
I am a parent and a PhD in Virology. Reading this article was rather frustrating for multiple reasons. I myself have a cautious approach to vaccination. However, making a point that vaccinations don’t safe lives or flat out dangerous is very misleading for the general public. You will not treat Polio or HBV, or Measles with vitamin C (seriously???). Additionally, I noticed that the references are mostly from newspaper articles and only a couple from peer review publications. This is OK for an opinion piece but only for an opinion. Vaccine development is not an easy process and takes a significant amount of research and trials. Even after extensive testing vaccines as any other drug are not perfect. I know that. We all know that. I, however, also know that if not for Small Pox, Polio, Diphtheria vaccines, a lot more people could have died. You are right that some types of vaccines do not provide permanent protection that is why there are vaccination schedules. Overall, the article is just another one sided view.
Regardless of where one stands on the issue of vaccines, I think we all should agree on two things: one, vaccines ought be voluntary, not mandatory, as inoculations are a medical procedure for which we all have the individual,most basic right to receive them, or not. Second, the safety of current vaccines, and vaccine schedule, is risky. Vaccine injury is a very real problem which extends beyond the much talked about dramatic increase in autism, but is in fact much further reaching. Vaccine safety must be addressed, thus the ingredients as well as the aggressive recommended schedule. Beyond this it is our assertion that the best defense against disease is a healthy body built with sound nutrition and a clean diet.
