										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">Futilely Trying to Expose Big Pharma’s Vaccine Cartel with Facts</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Explaining, with easy-to-understand charts, why Autism Spectrum Disorders could soon reach an incidence of 50% among fully-vaccinated children in America (and some of the other half of the over-vaccinated children are at risk of developing the already escalating vaccine-induced disorders such as Autoimmune Disorders, Asthma, Allergies, the ASIA Syndrome, Macrophagic Myofasciitis and Type I Diabetes Mellitus.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>By Gary G. Kohls, MD &#8211; May 14, 2019 (1373 words)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://freepress.org/article/futilely-trying-expose-big-pharma%E2%80%99s-vaccine-cartel-facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://freepress.org/article/futilely-trying-expose-big-pharma%E2%80%99s-vaccine-cartel-facts</a></p>
<p>The time-honored (by the vaccine industry, that is) metallic vaccine ingredients, aluminum and mercury (thimerosal), are both recognized as highly toxic substances when they are allowed to come in contact with human tissue. Among other toxicities, they are known to be poisonous to mitochondria and genetic material.</p>
<p>Aluminum is not nearly as toxic to living cells as mercury is, but aluminum has an additional poisonous mechanism of action that I have discussed in past Duty to Warn columns. Mercury, the second most toxic element on earth (just behind plutonium), has actually been eliminated from all but one American vaccine since around 2001. The sole exception is influenza vaccines that come in multiple-dose, rubber-stoppered vials.</p>
<p>Particulate aluminum in vaccines (as opposed to dissolvable or ionized aluminum) is regarded by the vaccine and healthcare industries as an essential ingredient that hyper-stimulates antibody production.</p>
<p>Of course, the downside of that hyper-stimulating trait is that aluminum adjuvants can also easily OVER-stimulate the vaccine victim’s immune system – thus creating the supposedly “perplexing” reality of America’s national epidemic of autoimmune disorders that is occurring now among fully-vaccinated children and young adults. There are over 80 varieties of autoimmune disorders &#8211; and counting!</p>
<p>When I was in medical school (1964 &#8211; 1968), prior to the explosion of highly-profitable vaccines for children starting in the late-1980s, autoimmune disorders were exceedingly rare. Autoimmune disorders were essentially unknown to occur in children and even rare at my tertiary-care centered University of Minnesota. (See the charts below that show the explosion of childhood vaccines and childhood disorders since the 1960s.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The 2018 Childhood Vaccine Schedule</strong></p>
<p>The aluminum adjuvants in many American vaccines are factory-incubated with killed viruses, viral or bacterial particles or synthetic proteinaceous, antibody-inducing material in order to get a child’s immune system to theoretically hyper-stimulate antibodies against whatever is the vaccine ingredient.</p>
<p>What has been intentionally ignored by industry is the fact that all infants in the first year of life are immunologically immature and are naturally incapable of developing fully long-lasting immunity.</p>
<p>Aluminum adjuvants in vaccines were discovered generations ago (but long after Jenner developed his defective cowpox vaccine) to be effective at producing increased “serologic” complexes (antibodies) against whatever infectious agent was incubated with the metal.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, intramuscularly injecting vaccines that are intended to (over-) stimulate immune complexes does nothing to increase the “mucosal immunity”- which may actually be more important in fighting off infectious diseases than serum antibodies.</p>
<p>That widely-ignored reality is probably the major reason why injectable vaccines have never created anything more than temporary, partial and incomplete immunity that therefore perpetually needs intermittent booster doses – which, of course contains more toxic ingredients</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>What Could Possibly go Wrong?</strong></p>
<p>The intramuscular injection of a baby or a pet (or an adult) with more than one aluminum-containing vaccine at a time has never been proven-to be safe &#8211; or even effective. And knowing that most 2-month-old infants are injected with the same dose of vaccines as that which are injected into the classical “70 kilogram man”.</p>
<p>What could possibly go wrong?</p>
<p>Knowing some of the basic science of aluminum and mercury in vaccines that has been discussed in past Duty to Warn columns should encourage past and potential future victims of vaccine-injuries to question the wisdom of allowing Big Pharma to proceed with their plan to increase vaccination agendas.</p>
<p>Knowing that billions of molecules of aluminum particles have been permanently deposited in the body, brain, kidneys, etc should give pause to any thinking person who is considering increasing the amount of toxins every time the flu season or well-baby check comes around.</p>
<p>I think that I am justified in doubting that today’s medical students and residents are receiving any information that disputes current for-profit vaccine industry policy.</p>
<p>One wonders how many patients that are on kidney dialysis or kidney transplant services have been injected with too many aluminum-containing vaccines. That reality should surely be a consideration, if prevention of another tragic, iatrogenic epidemic is a consideration.</p>
<p>One hopes that medical students, nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, nephrologists and kidney transplant surgeons are taking important, thorough history about vaccine toxicity from their patients – but somehow, I doubt it.</p>
<p>I have read the published testimony from respected nephrologist and author Suzanne Humphries (who wrote the important book about this serious issue: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Illusions-Disease-Vaccines-Forgotten/dp/1480216895" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History</em></a>.</p>
<p>In that important book (soon to be black-listed?), Dr Humphries told the story about the three adult male patients that she consulted on over just a couple of week’s time. Each of the three men had developed acute renal failure following their routine aluminum-containing flu shots. (All three knew for certain that the flu shots had caused their kidneys to shut down.)</p>
<p>Thimerosal (mercury) was a common vaccine ingredient that was commonly added to multiple dose vaccine vials to prevent bacterial contamination of the rubber-stoppered bottles. There is no known safe amount of mercury, which means even a small amount is toxic. It is far more toxic to living tissue than aluminum. Mercury was commonly used in vaccines during the 1990s when there was a concomitant – and very alarming &#8211; increase in vaccine-related autistic spectrum disorders. (Study the graph.)</p>
<p>When the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) finally acknowledged the connection between their highly-profitable vaccination agendas, the trade association and its naturally-concerned pediatricians appealed to the vaccine makers to eliminate mercury from infant vaccines. The vaccine industry did just that, but only after their mercury-contaminated vaccine supply was depleted and their customers had used up their inventory.</p>
<p>Sadly, it was at that precise time of mercury elimination that Big Pharma was simultaneously increasing the use of neurotoxic aluminum adjuvants in most of their new vaccines. (Consult the above chart again. Most of those new vaccines contained aluminum.)</p>
<p>In this column are a number of essentially “banned” charts that expose what many would justifiably call criminal enterprises. The Hippocratic Oath has had no influence on those enterprises.</p>
<p>The charts printed in this column should help explain to confused Americans why, prior to the mid-1980s:</p>
<p>1) vaccine-induced Asperger’s and other Autism Spectrum Disorders were virutally unknown entities prior to the Reagan-era &#8211; when the FDA and CDC were increasingly being infiltrated by Big Pharma and other Big Businesses;<br />
2) vaccine-induced ASIA syndrome was unknown;<br />
3) vaccine-induced Autoimmune Disorders in youg people were unknown;<br />
4) vaccine-induced SIDS was less common;<br />
5) vaccine-induced Type 1 Diabetes in the young was uncommon; etc.</p>
<p>Most thinking people who are paying the least bit of attention to America’s many health care crises are probably suspicious of the immense power that Big Pharma-related corporations have over the mainstream media.</p>
<p>Powerful for-profit Big Pharma-related entities essentially determine what is allowed to be reported in their “owned” media enterprises (except for the Duluth Reader, so far). Big Pharma corporations provide 70% of Big Media’s advertising revenues through the massive advertising of their drugs and vaccines (and, thankfully, my Duluth Reader takes no such advertising).</p>
<p>Please study the charts above and below, especially the autism chart. The statistically-accurate curve shown has led many essentially “silenced” and “un-bought-by-industry” healthcare experts to ominously-predict that if current vaccine agendas that are being so heavily-promoted by Big Pharma-captured institutions, the future for America’s over-vaccinated children is not good.</p>
<p>Hopefully the FDA, CDC, AAP, AMA, AAFP, etc. will be able to free themselves from the headlock in which Big Pharma has them and their physician-members will begin again to honor the Hippocratic Oath that they once regarded as sacred.</p>
<p>The already catastrophic incidence of ASD (currently rising to the alarming 2% from 0% when I was in med school) will continue on to an eventual 50% of fully vaccinated children!! Any discerning reader that is unassociated with the medical-vaccine industries will have to agree with the predictions.</p>
<p>Perhaps a common-sense moratorium on any more vaccinations is in order.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Vaccine Truths for American Vaccinology-illiterate Health Journalists and Legislators (that Most Doctors &#8211; and their Patients &#8211; Haven’t Been Taught Either)</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>And Why America’s Over-vaccination Mandates are Inherently Unsafe and of Questionable Usefulness</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>By Gary G. Kohls, MD &#8211; November 27, 2018 – (Revised April 19, 2019) (4,427words)</strong></p>
<p><em>“MMR (Measles): The MMR vaccine contains live (although allegedly attenuated) viruses and therefore has never contained the potent toxin mercury nor the neurotoxin aluminum. In the US, the incidence of measles is approximately 2 cases per million population.</em></p>
<p><strong>“You’d be amazed at the number of physicians that don’t know what’s in a vaccine. They’ll say, well, there’s the bacteria, the virus you want to vaccinate against, and then there’s a little immune stimulant in there to help stimulate the immunity so they react against those viral antigens. They don’t know about these other chemicals in there like formaldehyde, special proteins, special lipids (and aluminum) that are known to be brain toxic, that are known to induce autoimmunity in the brain. They’re not aware of that. They don’t know that MSG is in a lot of vaccines―monosodium glutamate, a brain excitotoxin. They’re not aware of what’s in the vaccine they’re giving.” &#8212; Russell Blaylock, MD</strong></p>
<p><em>“Live virus inoculations can actually cause the recently-vaccinated individual to shed the infectious vaccine virus. Therefore, the recently vaccinated can actually be contagious to close contacts. Post-vaccination contagion has been observed (following measles, mumps and live polio vaccinations) to last for months in some cases. There are no commonly available tests to determine which recent vaccinees are shedding live vaccine viruses. Therefore, recently vaccinated persons are far more likely to be contagious than are the asymptomatic, non-infected, non-vaccinated children that are so irrationally feared, banned from attending public schools and often forced to be vaccinated against their wills.” – Gary G. Kohls, MD</em></p>
<p><em>“In 1986 a US law was passed that protected vaccine maker&#8217;s from ever being sued in a regular court regardless of how many babies or children were injured or killed from the aluminum, mercury (aka Thimerosal), formaldehyde, aborted fetal cells, deadly peanut byproducts, cells of pigs, cows, monkeys, dogs, insects, MSG (monosodium glutamate), ether and other toxins that make up normal vaccines. Back in1980 1 in 10,000 children had Autism. Children went from 7 vaccines to more than 70 before they were school age.</em></p>
<p><em>“Today as many as 1 in 25 boys over the age of 12 has autism&#8211; which is really a term to hide the real condition: vaccine-induced encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and 1 in 5 high school kids have ADHD, Tourette&#8217;s syndrome, epilepsy, asthma or autoimmune diabetes. Cancer is now the leading cause of death in little children, and no vaccine or combination of vaccines is ever looked at for its ability to cause cancer. There is a federal Vaccine Court that has paid 3.3 BILLION dollars to families bright enough to learn the system and were therefore able to prove that the autism was from the vaccines.” &#8212; Shelley Tzorfas, author of Recovering Autism, ADHD, &amp; Special Needs</em></p>
<p>It has been only a decade since I really started studying vaccine science in some depth. That was much too late for many of my trusting (and therefore very vulnerable) patients. I have finally come to see through the pervasive Big Pharma/Big Vaccine/Big Medicine propaganda that falsely and repeatedly asserted that all vaccines are safe, all vaccines are effective and that all vaccines are necessary for the public health.</p>
<p>After hundreds of hours of research and studying scholarly books and journal articles, I can now confidently state that each of those three claims about vaccine safety are false and definitely part of a clever propaganda campaign that has relied on disinformation campaigns assisted by the big money interests that have unrestricted access to the major media (70% of whose revenues comes from the pharmaceutical industry advertising.</p>
<p>In other words a “conspiracy has been perpetrated upon naïve parents who, without the intense disinformation campaign, would have trusted their instincts and maintained their logical vaccine hesitancy. The conspiracy was cunningly crafted between at least four very powerful, authoritative/authoritarian groups, including<br />
1) big pharmaceutical corporations that make and sell “unavoidably unsafe” and increasingly unaffordable – and therefore very profitable &#8211; vaccines;<br />
2) co-opted (by Big Pharma money) government bureaucratic (non-clinical) regulators like the CDC, the FDA, the NIH;<br />
3) physician trade organizations like the AAP, the AMA and the AAFP; and<br />
4) pediatricians (and other physicians as well) whose livelihoods depend on well-baby and well-child check-ups and the vaccinations that always accompany those office calls/</p>
<p>This conspiracy to sell an inherently unsafe product (that industry can’t be sued over when it damages the recipient of the dangerous product) has been wildly successful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&lt;&lt;&lt;Indoctrinated, Misinformed, Ignorant, Arrogant and Authoritarian Physicians&gt;&gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p>I have come to understand that my academic professors at the University of Minnesota Medical School that taught us naïve med students about the alleged safety and alleged efficacy of mass vaccination campaigns had also been mis-taught by their own professors who also probably were indoctrinated by their authoritarian professors about the historical myths about Jenner, cowpox, smallpox and also the myths about Pasteur, Salk and Sabin and their often failed &#8211; even disastrously-failed &#8211; experiments with vaccines.</p>
<p>I suspect also that by the mid-1960s my professors were increasingly coming under the corrupting influence of the pharmaceutical industry and Big Pharma’s Wall Street cronies that were recognizing the enormous profits that could be made by selling more and more dependency-inducing and increasingly expensive, patent-able, synthetic drugs (and vaccines). In fairness to my now-deceased professors, there were far fewer drugs and only a minuscule number of vaccines available back then when I was in med school (1964 – 1968).</p>
<p>I last practiced family medicine in an under-served area of rural Minnesota two decades ago. Since then I have had more time and energy to understand how and why the academic physicians that wrote my text books came up with the assertions – without corroborating evidence – that vaccines were always safe and effective.</p>
<p>These mostly non-clinical, academic authors &#8211; just like today’s academics – probably had significant, undeclared conflicts of interest with the industries that provided the research money and the propaganda power that convinced us naïve students to become life-long prescribers of their toxic substances.</p>
<p>Of course, nothing was taught to us back then about 1) the multiple toxic ingredients that are in every vaccine dose; 2) the multiple risks; 3) the common presence of contaminants; or 4) the lack of proof of safety or efficacy when cocktails of combinations of vaccines are injected simultaneously into the tiny muscles of our infant and toddler patients.</p>
<p>But students, particularly medical students, aren’t known for questioning authority, especially if the authorities are esteemed, renowned, albeit often very arrogant/ignorant professors Most of us weren’t aware of the fact that many of our professors had never had any experience at being a self-employed, practicing community physician.</p>
<p>Our academic professors didn’t explain to us med students (and perhaps didn’t understand themselves) that the pro-vaccine and pro-drug “relative risk” statistics that came from the statisticians of the Big Pharma cartel intentionally – and fraudulently – always understated the risks and over-rated the effectiveness and safety of their products (especially the over-priced and often dependency-inducing drugs that had serious withdrawal effects that made stopping them both hard to do AND hazardous).</p>
<p>So, we naïve future teachers of our equally naïve and bamboozleable future patients (who also tended to be obedient to authoritative folks like us mis-informed physicians) were also easily brainwashed into totally trusting – often against their better judgement &#8211; the Big Pharma cartel’s propaganda.</p>
<p>And then, after we students finally finished our internship or residency programs, we were employed by various for-profit private medical practices and/or hospitals. It was then that we discovered the need to pay attention to the “bottom line” of the business of medicine.</p>
<p>Our clinic managers reminded us that that there was some extra money to be made by getting parents to bring their previously well babies in for their “well-baby exams” at which time cocktails of “well-baby shots” could be administered. It didn’t occur to us rookie physicians at the time that the medical profession made far less money than the vaccine makers and vaccine marketers did. We just went along guiltlessly and happily doing what we had been taught in school – and we rarely doubted the accuracy of what we had been taught.</p>
<p>But most seriously, we medical students were never taught much immunology or even how vaccines actually “worked”. I myself only started trying to understand what I had been mis-taught (and ultimately began to doubt) about the corporate vaccinology “pseudo-science”. Those falsehoods really took root after a close relative started having neurological issues after his four-month well baby shots. That relative eventually was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome – a mild form of autism).</p>
<p>It was only then that I finally started listening to and trusting the multitude of honest, anguished and justifiably angry parents whose vaccine-sickened or vaccine-killed children had been made acutely-ill, chronically-ill or deceased soon after their cocktails of baby shots had been injected.</p>
<p>I have been additionally outraged over the fact that many of the previously trusting parents (whose children and lives had been devastated by vaccine injuries) have actually been fired from the medical practices that had injured their children! Is there no shame?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&lt;&lt;&lt;Vaccine-induced Neurotoxicity&gt;&gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p>The science of vaccine-induced neurotoxicity can be easily understood by laypeople, health journalists and physicians – if we/they ever took the time and spent the energy to learn the admittedly complicated science of immunology and what actually are the ingredients in the vaccines. Since laypeople have never been indoctrinated, it might actually be easier for these non-scientists to learn the principles and dangers of vaccinology than for us brain-washed physicians!</p>
<p>For example, it is easy for anybody to understand that, until the year 2000, mercury, in the form of thimerosal, was commonly used in many vaccines as a preservative that was supposed to prevent bacterial overgrowth in the multi-dose, rubber-stoppered vials.</p>
<p>Mercury is the 2nd most neurotoxic naturally-occuring substance on the planet – right behind the highly radioactive element plutonium – and there is no known safe dose! Mercury, according to sources inside Big Pharma, is still only used in multidose influenza vaccine vials, but actually small concentrations of thimerosal have still been found in other non-live virus vaccines as well.</p>
<p>In addition, nanoparticles of the known neurotoxic and autoimmunity-inducing metal aluminum are widely used in vaccines. Particulate aluminum compounds are known to cause hyper-immune responses when incubated with the intended viral particles in the vaccine solutions and then injected into muscle tissue. The number of antibodies produced in response to an aluminum-containing vaccine are orders of magnitude greater than can be achieved with a vaccine that has no aluminum in it. And, just like mercury, there is no known safe dose of aluminum when injected intramuscularly.</p>
<p>In addition, any of the live (albeit allegedly “attenuated”) measles and mumps viruses that are in Merck’s MMR II vaccines are known to be capable of causing low-grade viral encephalitis or non-infectious encephalopathies that are often later diagnosed as brain disorders such as learning disorders, behavioral disorders, speech delays, intellectual disorders, developmental delays, autism, Asperger’s, epilepsy, asthma, allergies, chronic headaches, narcolepsy, mental disorders, etc.</p>
<p>Vaccine-induced diseases are all, of course, “iatrogenic” disorders (a term defined as “caused by doctors, prescription drugs, doctor-ordered vaccinations or surgery”).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&lt;&lt;&lt;What Could Possibly go Wrong?&gt;&gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p>How many things could possibly go wrong when even a highly-skilled nurse tries to inject cocktails of a solution containing a multitude of synthetic chemicals into the tiny muscles of a neurologically-vulnerable infant whose blood-brain barrier is immature and leaky? Failing to hit the tiny muscles of an infant with a needle has to be quite common in average clinics and probably accounts for the significant variability of vaccine efficacy studies that have been found in even pharmaceutical industry-sponsored studies.<br />
But the Big Pharma cartels, the Big Medicine professional trade associations, the Big Pharma lobbyists, the Big Pharma cartel-paid mainstream media voices and naïve health journalists (that get their information from dis-information agents in the CDC, the FDA, the NIH and other Big Pharma sources) easily out-spend, out-advertise and out-shout those of us who are trying to warn about the dangers of the toxic substances that are in all vaccines.</p>
<p>One of the major reasons why vaccines probably do more harm than good can be understood if one understands that true immunity can only occur if both of the two essential aspects of immunity occur together.</p>
<p>Vaccinations are only capable of inducing partial and temporary immunity to whatever injected viral or bacterial particle is in the inoculum. True herd immunity only occurs with actual natural infections of substantial portions of a community. Epidemics are always followed by the absence of epidemics. Because intramuscularly-injected vaccinations are incapable of creating life-long immunity or persistent immune responses, periodic booster shots are always urged for compliant children to even achieve a partial and short-term immunity.</p>
<p>In order for a person (or a pet) to obtain life-long immunity to an infectious disease, there must occur a natural exposure to &#8211; and at least a subclinical infection by – a wild-type virus or bacteria that has adequate exposure to the animal’s mucosa (nasal, pharyngeal, respiratory or gastrointestinal)!</p>
<p>Injectable vaccines that contain live viruses, attenuated live viruses, dead viruses or fragments of a virus can NEVER be expected to result in life-long immunity or herd immunity!</p>
<p>Below are some of the reasons for that reality, reasons that the vast majority of practicing physicians, inoculating nurses and policy-making hospital or clinic administrators seem incapable of understanding – or perhaps not interested in understanding.</p>
<p>Here is a summary of the two essential factors that must exist if a person is to develop true lifelong immunity to any infectious disease. They are<br />
1) <em>cellular immunity</em>, which only occurs when the nasal, pharyngeal or respiratory (or bowel) mucosa is sufficiently exposed to an infectious virus or bacteria – (which, of course absolutely can’t happen with an intramuscularly injectable vaccine!) and<br />
2) <em>serological (aka “humoral”) immunity</em>, which can result from a vaccination OR when the animal’s mucosal barrier is breached/infected by a live virus or bacteria.</p>
<p>Thus, intramuscular vaccinations can never actually affect what is probably the most important factor in immunology: cellular/mucosal immunity. Thus, all intramuscular vaccinations – which totally bypass the mucosa &#8211; can only (theoretically) boost serological/humoral immunity in some (but not all) individuals.</p>
<p>Any immunological effect that might be achieved from an injectable viral or bacterial particle will thus be of uncertain strength and duration. Hence the need for annual boosters for influenza and periodic boosters for most other vaccines to even keep up partial immunity. And, even in the case of booster shots, there will be no cellular immunity achieved because injected vaccines are incapable of inducing that type of immunity!</p>
<p>In the worst-case scenario, vaccine-induced autoimmunity disorders will occur with intramuscular vaccinations when aluminum is incubated with the antigens that are in the vaccine.</p>
<p>Why most physicians and patients have become so thoroughly convinced that vaccinations are effective is not just the massive propaganda from Big Pharma and Big Medicine that repeatedly supports that notion, but also the relative rarity of the viral or bacterial illnesses that the vaccines allegedly prevent. See the list farther below for some examples regarding that issue.</p>
<p>As just one example of the uselessness of vaccinating all pediatric patients with, for example, a mumps vaccine, is the fact that in the United States, only 3,000 cases of mumps were reported annually in 1983–1985, which equates to the exceedingly rare incidence of <em>1.5 cases per 100,000 population</em>!</p>
<p>And yet the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) mandate several doses of the live mumps virus-containing MMR vaccine for every pre-school child in America. Which means that for every child partially protected from the rare benign parotid gland infection there will be tens of thousands of children that will be unnecessarily vaccinated, receiving no benefit, but each one will have to pay the substantial monetary costs and will be unnecessarily exposed to the neurotoxic ingredients of the vaccine and the substantial risk of developing a vaccine-induced autoimmune disorder or death.</p>
<p>A second example is the aluminum-adjuvanted Pneumovax shot and the fact that as few as 2 cases of invasive pneumococcal pneumonia occur annually in the US per 100,000 population. That means that 99.99% of the patients getting the Pneumovax shot will get no benefit but will be at risk of suffering the considerable adverse effects from the aluminum.</p>
<p>See some other examples further below.</p>
<p>What rational, clear-headed, intelligent, open-minded mother, if her baby’s pediatrician did his duty and fully informed the mother about the following facts, would accept those risks without considering some alternative?</p>
<ul>
<li>the infections that are theoretically being partially prevented are RARE;</li>
<li>most of the infectious diseases are MILD; and</li>
<li>there are many serious risks with injecting multiple vaccines into a baby’s muscles.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some sobering statistics that should give pause (vaccine hesitancy) to any parent considering exposing themselves or their innocent babies to toxic substances for little or no benefit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&lt;&lt;&lt;Commonly-mandated Childhood Vaccines and the Rarity of the Infections<br />
that they are Supposed to Prevent&gt;&gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p><em>MMR (Measles): The MMR vaccine contains live (although allegedly attenuated) viruses</em> and therefore has never contained the potent toxin mercury or the neurotoxin aluminum. In the US, the <em>incidence of measles is approximately 2 cases per million population</em>.</p>
<p><em>Live virus inoculations can actually cause the recently-vaccinated individual to shed the infectious vaccine virus. Therefore, the recently vaccinated can actually be contagious to close contacts. Post-vaccination contagion has been observed (following measles, mumps and live polio vaccinations) to last for months in some cases. There are no commonly available tests to determine which recent vaccinees are shedding live vaccine viruses. Therefore, recently vaccinated persons are far more likely to be contagious than are the asymptomatic, non-infected, non-vaccinated children that are so irrationally feared, banned from attending public schools and often forced to be vaccinated against their wills.</em></p>
<p>The incidence of measles has remained below one case per million since 1997, except in 2014, when 667 measles cases were reported, representing a reported <em>incidence of 2.08 cases per million</em>.</p>
<p><em>MMR (Mumps): In the US, the incidence of mumps is less than 2 cases per 100,000 population</em>. In the United States, approximately 3,000 cases of mumps were reported annually in 1983–1985 (that equates to <em>1.3–1.55 cases per 100,000 population</em>).</p>
<p><em>MMR (Rubella): In the US, the incidence of rubella (German measles) is less than 0.5 cases per 100,000 population</em>. The largest annual number of cases of rubella in the United States was in 1969, when 58 cases were reported per 100,000 population. In 1983, fewer than 1,000 cases per year were reported in the United States (less than 0.5 cases per 100,000 population).</p>
<p><em>DTaP: Diphtheria is virtually non-existent in the US population</em></p>
<p><em>DTaP: Tetanus is rare in the US population and is non-contagious</em></p>
<p><em>DTaP: Pertussis (Bordetella pertussis &#8211; aka “whooping cough”) has an incidence of 55.2 cases per 100,000 infants/year that are less than 12 months of age; (98.2 cases per 100,000 six-month-old infants or younger).</em></p>
<p>(Therefore 99,902 six-month-old infants out of every 100,000 will not get whooping cough in any given year whether they are vaccinated or not!) Also, DTaP cannot safely be given to infants younger than 12 months of age, and the <em>peak age of death from whooping cough is 2 months</em>. It is uncommon for infants older than 2 months of age to die from whooping cough. Survival from a case of whooping cough usually confers life-long immunity. The vaccine does not confer life-long immunity.</p>
<p>In the current age of mass vaccinations, the incidence of pertussis has been actually been increasing since the early 1980s despite upwards of 90 &#8211; 95% vaccination rates.</p>
<p>A total of 25,827 cases were reported in 2004, the largest number since 1959. The reasons for the increase are not clear. A total of 27,550 pertussis cases and 27 pertussis-related deaths were reported in 2010 (a number of those who died had been vaccinated). Case counts for 2012 surpassed 2010, with 48,277 pertussis cases, with 13 deaths in infants</p>
<p>During 2001–2003, the highest average annual pertussis incidence was among infants younger than 1 year of age (55.2 cases per 100,000 population), and particularly among children younger than 6 months of age (98.2 per 100,000 population). In 2002, 24% of all reported cases were in this age group. However, in recent years, adolescents (11–18 years of age) and adults (19 years and older) have accounted for an increasing proportion of cases. During 2001–2003, the annual incidence of pertussis among persons aged 10–19 years increased from 5.5 per 100,000 in 2001, to 6.7 per 100,000 in 2002, and 10.9 per 100,000 in 2003.</p>
<p><strong>Hepatitis B: The Hepatitis B vaccine is a synthetic, non-infectious vaccine.</strong><br />
<em>The incidence of Hepatitis B in America is an extremely low 2.1 cases per 100,000 population</em>. It is virtually unknown for non-immigrants. The vaccine contained thimerosal (mercury) as a preservative until 2000 and now <em>contains the auto-immunity-inducing aluminum as an adjuvant</em>.</p>
<p>Based on data from the CDC, the incidence of acute hepatitis B in the United States has declined steadily since the late 1980s. Between 1987 and 2004, the<em> incidence of acute hepatitis B was recently reported by the CDC to be 2.1 per 100,000 (6,212 total cases reported nation-wide)</em>. It is a rare infection.</p>
<p><em>Pneumovax: As few as 2 cases of the rare invasive pneumococcal pneumonia occur annually per 100,000 population. It contains an aluminum adjuvant</em>.</p>
<p>The CDC reported declines in invasive pneumococcal disease among children less than 5 years old – before the vaccine became available. Overall, invasive pneumococcal disease decreased from 100 cases per 100,000 people in 1998 to 9 cases per 100,000 in 2015. Invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the 13 serotypes covered by PCV13 decreased from 91 cases per 100,000 people in 1998 to <em>2 cases per 100,000 people</em> in 2015. All the improvements occurred before the wide use of the vaccine.</p>
<p>Hemophilus influenza b (Hib): The incidence of the extremely rare Hib infection is as low as 0.08 cases per 100,000 in children younger than 5 years of age.</p>
<p><em>In the United States, Hib disease is rare. In 2015, the incidence of invasive Hib disease was 0.08 cases per 100,000</em> in children younger than 5 years of age. It occurs primarily in infants too young to have completed the primary immunization series.</p>
<p>In 2015, <em>the incidence of non-b H. influenzae invasive disease – for which there is no vaccine available &#8211; was 1.3 per 100,000 in children younger than 5 years of age.</em></p>
<p>Non-typeable <em>H. influenzae</em> now causes the majority of invasive <em>H. influenzae</em> infections in all age groups.</p>
<p>In 2015, the incidence of invasive non-typeable <em>H. influenzae</em> infection was <em>7 cases per 100,000 in children younger than 5 years of age and 2 cases per 100,000</em> in adults 65 years of age and older.</p>
<p><em>Varicella (Chicken Pox): The chicken pox vaccine is a live virus vaccine</em>. The incidence of wild-type chicken pox is highly variable and not reportable.</p>
<p><em>Influenza: Flu viruses have 100 – 200 different strains</em> and therefore influenza has an unpredictable and highly variable incidence. Unbiased experts have judged most recent annual influenza vaccination campaigns to be miserable failures. The highly misleading statistics that are fed through the mass media by public health agencies like the CDC and by the pharmaceutical corporate propaganda campaigns (“relative risk reduction”) always magnify the benefits and minimize the dangers.</p>
<p><em>80% of what is commonly diagnosed as “vaccine-preventable” influenza is actually “Influenza-Like Illnesses” (ILI) for which there is no vaccine</em>. The commonly over-promoted annual influenza shots are usually drawn from multiple-dose vials that contain the neurotoxic preservative <em>mercury (thimerosal)</em>.</p>
<p>Neurotoxic aluminum adjuvants hyper-stimulate immune responses to whatever protein molecules (look up the critically important concept of “<em>molecular mimicry</em>”) to which the aluminum becomes attached, explaining the large number of vaccine-induced autoimmune (hyperimmune) disorders that are increasingly occurring in fully-vaccinated populations.</p>
<p>Aluminum adjuvants are used in the following vaccines:<br />
<em>DTaP, Hepatitis A; Hepatitis B; Haemophilus influenza type b; Meningococcus; and Pneumococcal vaccines</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&lt;&lt;&lt;Exposing Fraud at the CDC&gt;&gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<p>Kevin Barry, President of First Freedoms, Inc. and author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Vaccine-Whistleblower-Exposing-Autism-Research/dp/1634509951" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Vaccine Whistleblower: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC</em></a> wrote the following conclusion in an important article, which can be found at:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ageofautism.com/2018/11/did-a-vaccine-experiment-on-us-soliders-cause-the-spanish-flu-epidemic.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.ageofautism.com/2018/11/did-a-vaccine-experiment-on-us-soliders-cause-the-spanish-flu-epidemic.html</a></p>
<p>“…the vaccine industry experiments on infants every day. The vaccine schedule has never been tested as it is given. The results of the (decades-long) experiment are in:<br />
1 in 7 American children is in some form of special education and over 50% have some form of chronic illness.</p>
<p>“Back in 1918-19, there was no safety follow up after vaccines were delivered.</p>
<p>“In 2018, there is virtually no safety follow up after a vaccine is delivered.</p>
<p>“Who exactly gave you that flu shot at Rite Aid? Do you have their cell number of the store employee if something goes wrong?</p>
<p>“In 1918-19, there was no liability to the manufacturer for injuries or death caused by vaccines.</p>
<p>“In 2018, there is no liability for vaccine manufacturers or for physicians for injuries or death caused by vaccines (by a federal law that was formalized in 1986).</p>
<p>“In 1918-19, there was no independent investigative follow-up challenging the official story that “Spanish Flu” was some mystery illness which dropped from the sky. I suspect that many of those at the Rockefeller Institute knew what happened, and that many of the doctors who administered the vaccines to the troops knew what happened, but those people are long dead.</p>
<p>“In 2018, the pharmaceutical industry is the largest campaign donor to politicians and the largest advertiser in all forms of media, so not much has changed over 100 years.</p>
<p>“This story will likely be ignored by mainstream media employees because their salaries are paid by pharmaceutical advertising.</p>
<p>“The next time you hear someone say ‘vaccines save lives’ please remember that the true story of the cost/benefit (ratio) of vaccines is much more complicated than their three-word slogan. Also remember that vaccines may have killed 50-100 million people in 1918-19. If true, those costs greatly outweighed any benefit, especially considering that plumbers, electricians, sandhogs and engineers did, and continue to do, the real work which reduces mortality from infectious diseases.</p>
<p>“Vaccines are not magic. Human rights and bioethics are critically important. Policy makers should understand the history of medical hubris and protect individual and parental human rights as described in the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Three Profoundly-important, Science-based Articles from an Indian Asian Vaccine Scholar with Observations on the US-sanctioned “Vaccine Holocaust of Newborns, Infants and Children” – (2,386 words)</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://freepress.org/article/three-profoundly-important-science-based-articles-india-observations-us-sanctioned-%E2%80%9Cvaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://freepress.org/article/three-profoundly-important-science-based-articles-india-observations-us-sanctioned-%E2%80%9Cvaccine</a></p>
<p>It needs to be said that the parents of over-vaccinated newborns, infants and children have been thoroughly-indoctrinated to be obedient to any number of authority figures and therefore frequently allow – without hesitation and without doing their own research – the administration of invasive procedures such as multiple vaccines being injected simultaneously into the tiny muscles of their children (combinations of which have never been proven to be safe).</p>
<p>Overwhelmingly, that parental consent is not “informed consent” as required by law. Uninformed consent is therefore often given without the parents being properly informed of the potential hazards, short or long-term. Therefore, their children are at high risk of becoming sickened – sooner or later &#8211; with vaccine toxin-induced illnesses.</p>
<p>It is important that all parents or guardians of infants and children read the following information carefully and studiously before consenting to future vaccinations.</p>

<p>Infants in the US are exposed from birth to age 2, to 24 vaccine doses, combining 8-in-1 vaccines to be given to infants 2, 4, and 6 months in a single visit!

<p><em>Exponential Increase in Autism Rates in US Children Linked to CDC Vaccine Schedule</em></p>
<p>In 1985, the autism prevalence rate in the US was 1 in 2,500; in 1995 it was 1 in 500; In 2014 it was 1 in 45! In children aged 3 to 17, the autism prevalence rate increased by 80% from 2011-2013! At this rate, it is predicted that 1 out of 2 children in the US will have autism by 2030!</p>
<p>A report by EPA scientists Timing of <em>Increased Autism Disorder Cumulative Incidence</em> analyzed the cumulative incidence of autistic disorder during a 10-year period (1987–1996) pinpointed a sharp “changepoint” year (1988) when the incidence of autism sharply increased.

Scientific research and CDC internal documents on the toxicity of mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines reveal exposure to thimerosal during the first month of life increased the relative risk of autism by 7.6 (760%), 1.8 (180%) increased relative risk for a neurodevelopmental disorder; 2.1 (210%) relative risk for speech disorder; and 5-fold (500%) increased relative risk for a nonorganic sleep disorder.</p>
<p>The CDC also suppressed the original findings of another of its own studies that found a 340% (3.6) relative increased risk of autism for African American male babies following MMR vaccination in accordance with the CDC-recommended Childhood Vaccination Schedule.</p>
<p>The alarming and damning scientific evidence, documents that infants exposed to vaccines laced with thimerosal during the first month of life are at alarmingly high increased the relative risk of serious harm. “<em>The data on its toxicity (shows) it can cause neurologic and renal toxicity, including death</em>,” writes Dr. Richard Johnston, M.D., an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado.</p>
<p>Dr. Verstraeten also said: “what I will present to you is the study that nobody thought we should do.” The study categorized the cumulative effect of thimerosal-containing vaccines administered to infants after one month of life and assessed the subsequent risk of degenerative and developmental neurologic disorders, and renal disorders before the age of six. Dr. Verstraeten stated that ALL of these relative risks were statistically significant.<br />

<p><em>Synergistic Toxicity of Aluminium &amp; Thimerosal in Vaccines</em></p>
<p>Dr. Boyd Haley, former professor of medicinal chemistry and chairman of the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky, published a study in which he investigated the effect of combining aluminum hydroxide with thimerosal. In this study, cultured neurons showed no significant cell death six hours after they were exposed to just aluminum; more than 90% survived. Thimerosal alone also caused few neurons to die after six hours of exposure. Again, more than 90% survived. However, when cultured neurons were exposed to aluminum and thimerosal, only about 40% survived after six hours, clearly demonstrating synergistic toxicity (Figure 3).<br />

<blockquote><p>As <strong>Neil Miller</strong> writes:<br />
”Millions of children every year are injected with vaccines containing mercury and aluminum despite well-established experimental evidence of the potential for additive or synergistic toxicity when an organism is exposed to two or more toxic metals.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dr. Haley’s study in which cultured neurons died at an accelerated rate following concurrent exposure to aluminum and thimerosal provides evidence of an enhanced detrimental effect. In addition, aluminum toxicity levels published by FDA indicate that two-month-old babies who are vaccinated according to CDC guidelines may be receiving quantities of aluminum that are significantly higher than safety levels.”</p>
<p><em>  Statements from Prominent &amp; Eminent Medical Doctors &amp; Scientists on the Toxicity of Aluminium in Childhood Vaccines:</em></p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>:<br />
Both neurotoxic aluminium and mercury (thimerosal) contained in multiple doses of childhood vaccines as well as the CDC vaccine schedule cause severe and permanent neurological disorders including autism in newborns, infants and children!<br />

<p><strong>Vaccines Cause Brain Injuries, Neurological Disorders and Autism</strong></p>
<p><strong>Vaccines Trigger a &#8220;Cytokine Storm&#8221; of the Immune System, Leading to Severe and Permanent Neurological Disorders, Brain Injuries and Autism.</strong></p>

As vaccinepapers.org writes:  The term “immune activation” describes the activation of the cellular components of the immune system. The developing brain can be injured by immune activation, with life-long consequences (Meyer 2009, Deverman 2009, Estes 2016, neusel 2014, Careaga 2017, Meyer 2014).</p>
<p>Immune activation injury is linked to autism, schizophrenia, depression and other mental illnesses or neurodevelopmental disorders. Immune activation effects on the brain are mediated by immune system signaling molecules, especially cytokines (Estes 2016, Meyer 2014, Smith 2007, Choi 2016, Pineda 2013).  Human brain development is controlled by immune-system signals (i.e. “cytokines”). Activation of the immune system during brain development causes disruptions in these signals, resulting in permanent brain injury. The injury manifests as autism, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Adverse vaccine reactions are proven to stimulate a cytokine (interleukin-6) proven to cause autism.  In the maternal immune activation experiments, inflammatory signaling and some cytokines (e.g. IL-6) traverse the placenta into the fetus. Consequently, immune activation in the mother causes immune activation and elevated cytokines in the fetus, and in the fetal brain (Oskvig 2012, Ghiani 2011).  Diverse evidence indicates that the brain can be adversely affected by postnatal immune activation. Postnatal immune activation experiments, human case reports, and consideration of brain development timelines suggest that the human brain is vulnerable to immune activation injury for years after birth.  Postnatal immune activation can have adverse neurological effects, including increased seizure susceptibility (Chen 2013,Galic 2008), learning and memory deficits (Harre 2008), and an increase in excitatory synapse formation (Shen 2016). Seizure disorders, learning and memory dysfunction, and elevated excitatory signaling are associated with autism.  The timing of brain development processes in humans supports the idea that the human brain is vulnerable to immune activation and cytokines in the first few years after birth, when vaccines are administered. Disruption of synaptogenesis by vaccine induced immune activation is a particular concern. The accumulating evidence indicates that vaccine-induced immune activation, and aluminum adjuvants in particular, may cause mental illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism.<br />

<p><strong>Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM): A &#8220;Mysterious&#8221; Paralyzing Illness Caused by Enteroviruses or by Neurotoxic Vaccines?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Newly Quadraplegic 4-year-old, Geneviève Blais at the Montreal Children&#8217;s Hospital diagnosed with AFM</strong></p>
<p><strong>By Arya Vrilya &#8211; Tuesday, October 23, 2018 (906 words)</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://yajnacentre.blogspot.com/2018/10/mysterious-paralyzing-illness-caused-by.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://yajnacentre.blogspot.com/2018/10/mysterious-paralyzing-illness-caused-by.html</a></p>
<p>A new “unknown” and “mysterious” paralyzing neurological illness named Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) has been paralyzing young children across the US and Canada since 2014. According to the US CDC, there have been 368 registered cases of AFM since 2014; 149 cases were registered in 2016 alone (the highest number of cases in any single year) and 68 cases have been reported so far in 2018.</p>
<p>“<em>AFM is a rare, but serious condition that affects the nervous system. It specifically affects the area of spinal cord called gray matter and causes muscles and reflexes to become weak. In most cases, the patient’s arms or legs become weak, similar to the results of infection with polio. In some cases, patients recover quickly. In other cases, patients remain paralyzed. There is a lot we don’t know about AFM, and I am frustrated that despite all of our efforts, we haven’t been able to identify the cause of this mystery illness</em>,&#8221; said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.</p>
<p>According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, there were fewer than five cases reported in Canada between January and August 2018. However, over the last few weeks, more than 20 additional cases were alarmingly reported in Canada including 6 in Montréal, Québec.  In Septembre 2018, a four-year old Canadian girl from Québec (Geneviève Blais, pictured above) was diagnosed with AFM in Québec. Her treating physician Dr. Christos Karatzios, a Pediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist at Montréal Children&#8217;s Hospital briefly explained the &#8220;mysterious&#8221; illness of his patient in the following television interviews:   Listen to the doctor’s TV interview in English</p>
<p>In response to a question on his FB page about this “mysterious” paralyzing neurological illness, <strong>Dr. Karatzios</strong> wrote:<br />
&#8220;<em>We are actually uncertain what exactly is causing it, but we suspect it to be an enterovirus &#8211; similar to polio virus (that is also an enterovirus but has been pretty much eradicated because of vaccination) We suspect enterovirus D68 or 71. We have not been able to easily isolate it from the spinal fluid and so we can only make an association when we isolate it in saliva or stool. Very similar clinical symptoms to polio but can be caught like a cold.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to confirm a causal relationship between the “suspected” enterovirus D68 or 71 and the “mysterious” crippling neurological illness (AFM) that is causing myelitis paralysis in young children.</p>
<p><em>Enteroviruses or Neurotoxic Vaccines Causing Myelitis Paralysis ?  </em></p>
<p>I, in turn, asked Dr. Karatzios whether this new “mysterious” paralyzing neurological illness could be caused by a long list of mandatory or recommended vaccines administered to newborns, infants and children that contain neurotoxic mercury (thimerosal) and/or aluminium which are extremely neurotoxic for the central nervous system and the developing brain of newborns, infants and children ?</p>
<p>In fact, several published scientific studies have found a causal relationship between vaccines that contain mercury and/or aluminium and neurological disorders in children and more specifically between vaccines and transverse myelitis. Moreover, the vaccines inserts CLEARLY list transverse myelitis as an adverse “side effect” of vaccines, as the following insightful paper and articles reveal:</p>
<p><em>Transverse Myelitis and Vaccines: A Multi-Analysis</em><br />

<p><em>Chart of US AFM cases since 2014 showing the strong correlation between preschool vaccinations and the onset of AFM paralysis  </em></p>
<p>Polio Vaccines and Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)</p>
<p>Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is also an adverse &#8220;side effect&#8221; of the polio vaccine. In fact, over 47,500 children in India were paralyzed after being injected with the polio vaccine a few years ago. AFM, also known as Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) or non-polio AFP (NPAFP), has been reported since 2014 as a “mysterious polio-like illness”.</p>
<p>In a paper published in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics in 2012, Neetu Vashisht, MD and Jacob Puliya, MD wrote: “<em>Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio vaccine received.</em>”</p>
<p>Moreover, In 1992 the CDC publicly admitted that every case of poliomyelitis paralysis in the US since the early 1960’s was CAUSED by the oral polio vaccine (OPV) used in the US from the early 1960’s to 2000!</p>
<p>And as far back as 1976, Dr Salk publicly admitted under testimony that the OPV used in the US from the early 1960’s to 2000 was “the principal if not the sole cause” of all poliomyelitis paralysis cases in the US since 1961.</p>
<p>Dr Karatzios, however, categorically denies that vaccines could be causing transverse myelitis in children by arguing that patients that he diagnosed with AFM had not been vaccinated 2 months prior to contracting the &#8220;mysterious&#8221; paralyzing illness.</p>
<p>In response, I argued that most neurological vaccine injuries often manifest several months or years after the administration of the vaccine; moreover, several published studies cited in the linked articles above have found a causal link between vaccine and transverse myelitis, including AFM.</p>
<p>And last but not least, the vaccines package inserts CLEARLY list transverse myelitis as an adverse “side effect” of several vaccines administered to children and adults alike.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>by Tiffany Baer, MD</em></p>
<p>In July 2016, in California, a mandatory vaccination law (Senate Bill 277) took effect. The law mandates that every child, entering certain grade levels, must have a specific set of vaccinations in order to attend class.(1) The law applies to children in both public and private schools—including Waldorf schools. If a child is missing even one of the mandated vaccines, the child will not be permitted in class. A medical exemption is possible but only if a licensed MD or DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) will affirm that, in the case of a particular child, the vaccination may do more harm than good.</p>
<p>This draconian law and its enactment in the most liberal state in the United States illustrates some interesting aspects of the current debate about childhood vaccinations. The bill was introduced and passed soon after a minor epidemic of measles broke out near Disneyland in the southern part of the state. One hundred and forty-seven persons were affected, but no one died. However, because measles is now seldom seen in the U.S., the outbreak caused a panic. The media, much as it had done with the Ebola virus the previous year, did what it could to alarm the public about the real or imagined dangers associated with measles. The public and the media have largely forgotten that fifty years ago measles was considered a benign disease of childhood and in developed countries is rarely fatal.</p>
<p>At the time, of the Disneyland outbreak, California’s vaccination rate was almost 95%. Nevertheless, SB277 was soon drafted and started making its way through the state senate. The writer of the bill and its main supporter was state senator Richard Pan. An article appeared in The Sacramento Bee, the capital city’s daily newspaper. It contained the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>Receiving more than $95,000, the top recipient of (pharmaceutical)<br />
industry campaign cash is Senator Richard Pan, a Sacramento<br />
Democrat and doctor who is carrying the vaccine bill. Leading<br />
pharmaceutical companies also spent nearly $3 million more during the<br />
2013-2014 legislative session, lobbying the legislature, the governor,<br />
the state pharmacists’ board, and other agencies, according to state<br />
filings.”(2)</p></blockquote>
<p>This was a clear conflict of interest—a state senator receiving funds from a pharmaceutical company while drafting a bill mandating their vaccine products. Similar bills are now appearing in many other states across the country, in what appears to be an orchestrated effort.</p>
<p>Before SB277, certain childhood vaccinations were required. However,<br />
parents could avoid the vaccination requirement by claiming that they were against vaccinations on religious or philosophical grounds. By filing a Personal Belief Exemption (PBE), they could retain their freedom in making health decisions for their children. This option no longer exists. Parents have the following choices:<br />
1. have their children vaccinated fully, according to the law<br />
2. keep their children out of school, i.e., homeschool them , or<br />
3. move to another state—as some parents have done and others are considering</p>
<p>A fourth but very challenging option is to get a medical exemption (ME). This can be obtained if a physician will affirm that the risks of vaccination outweigh the benefits. The medical exemption can be applied to a child who seems at special risk from vaccinations. A child who has had an adverse reaction to a previous vaccination—the onset of allergies or an autoimmune response in which the immune system starts to attack the body’s healthy cells—might qualify. A child whose family history indicates a genetic vulnerability to vaccinations might also get an ME.</p>
<p>However, it is not easy to find a physician who will approve a medical exemption. The medical community has been taught that vaccines are necessary and totally safe and that adverse events are rare. Most physicians will provide an ME only to children who have experienced a severe adverse reaction or immune system impairment traceable to a vaccination. But such a cause-effect relationship is hard to prove. Symptoms occurring within 24-48 hours after a vaccination, especially life-threatening events like anaphylaxis (allergic reactions) or seizures, are the most common events that are recognized and reported by a physician. But many parents observe neurologic (disorders of the nervous system), behavioral, and other pathological symptoms days or weeks after the vaccine. Commonly, a parent who witnesses a vaccine reaction in their child and brings the child to the doctor, hears, “It’s just a coincidence. These symptoms are not related to the vaccine.” Many parents seeking an ME are being told that their child doesn’t qualify. Because physicians, in general, do not get any education about vaccines in medical school and aren’t trained to recognize vaccine reactions, there are differing opinions about what constitutes a reaction. New research implicates adjuvants (chemicals added to vaccines) and autoimmunity.</p>
<p>To date, there has been no study comparing vaccinated children and<br />
unvaccinated children over their lifetimes. Most clinical trials looking for vaccine adverse effects examine short follow-up periods (weeks to months). However, autoimmune issues can take years to evolve. There has never been a comprehensive safety study that looks at the cumulative effects of multiple vaccines over time.</p>
<p>Although the medical establishment, the pharmaceutical industry, and, in general, the media, continue to assert the safety of vaccines, there is a federal apparatus that for the last thirty years has been acknowledging the real dangers of vaccines. In 1986, the United States Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which gave vaccine manufacturers a liability shield. The law stipulates that an individual cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer for damage caused by its vaccine. If parents decide to take legal action, they must apply to a special Federal claims court for injury compensation. If the court declares that a child was injured by a vaccine, the parents are compensated through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).</p>
<p>Since 1988, over 16,729 petitions have been filed with the VICP. During a twenty-seven year period, of the 14,397 petitions which have been resolved, 4,482 were determined to be compensable, and 9,915 were dismissed. In other words, almost 4500 cases of vaccination related injury have been recognized as valid. The total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $3.3 billion. (3)</p>
<p>The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) currently is used by the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collect data on vaccine injuries, once the vaccines are on the market. This passive surveillance system relies on reporting from health professionals or patients to report adverse events related to vaccines. Federal law requires doctors and other vaccine providers to report hospitalizations, injuries, deaths, and serious health problems following vaccination to VAERS. But due to lack of knowledge about the system and uncertainty about what constitutes a vaccine reaction, it is estimated that less than 10 percent of all vaccine-related health problems are ever reported to VAERS.(4)</p>
<p>The goal of the vaccine industrial complex is to add new vaccines to the schedule in order to eradicate as many childhood infectious diseases as possible. The rationale for vaccines is that there is no perceptible benefit from the process of disease. Vaccines are used to prevent an individual from experiencing the disease process with its inherent risks, discomfort, and suffering.</p>
<p>Anthroposophic medicine has a different view of childhood infectious diseases. These diseases are opportunities for the body to remodel and rebuild itself into a more individuated, permeable vessel for the Ego, or individual Spirit of the child. Combatting disease naturally also allows the immune system to mature and for the child to acquire permanent immunity. Moreover, fevers are viewed as beneficial, exercising the cellular immune system to discharge that which doesn’t serve the Ego. Fevers accelerate the elimination of accumulated toxins, such as sweat, mucus, pus, diarrhea, and rashes. Each fever process allows the Ego or Spirit to penetrate more deeply into the physical body. Thus infectious diseases are not to be avoided. Except in rare dangerous situations, fevers should not be suppressed by drugs such as tylenol. Treatment involves supporting the body with diet changes, gentle detoxification, and natural remedies.</p>
<p>Measles provides a good example. The child who contracts measles needs to take a developmental step. The Ego of the child is ready to incarnate more deeply into the physical body that will carry it through life. The immune system responds on two levels—the cellular and the humoral. The cellular response is active when the child experiences acute inflammatory symptoms, including a runny nose, chills, sweats, fever, malaise, and a whole-body rash. The rash indicates that toxins are being expelled through the skin. The humoral response is manifest when, after the child has recovered, antibodies to the disease are found in the blood. This is proof that the child has “won”—through an inner struggle—lifelong immunity. The humoral function, responsible for antibody production, will remember the measles virus and if exposed to it again in the future will be able to expel it without the need for another battle. Here Anthroposophic medicine recognizes that the incarnating Spirit, the “I am,” is always wishing to come into a deeper relationship with the physical body, so that the body becomes the effective instrument of the Spirit.</p>
<p>From the point of view of Anthroposophic medicine, vaccinations, regulations about vaccination, and especially a law like SB277, which requires universal childhood vaccinations, are very problematic. Vaccinations deprive the growing child of the opportunity to go through the maturing process of a benign disease such as measles. Although the media perpetuates fear about measles, deaths from measles in the United States declined dramatically, even before the measles vaccine came on the market in 1963. As nutrition improves, complications from measles diminish.(5)</p>
<p>Also, vaccinations present real, documented dangers. There are many studies linking vaccines to allergies, asthma, seizures, blood disorders, autism, auto-immune disease and neurologic diseases.(6,7) In recent decades, paralleling the increase in vaccinations, the country has experienced an epidemic of allergies, autism, auto-immune disease, and other neurological and behavioral disorders. In addition, vaccines don’t provide 100% immunity. This is the reason booster shots are often required. Even in populations with 95-100% vaccination rates, outbreaks still occur. This puts into question the theory of “herd immunity,” which hold that if a high percentage of individuals in a community are vaccinated against a disease, everyone, vaccinated or no, will be protected.( 8)</p>
<p>There is an especially troubling link between vaccinations and autism. In 2000, the CDC conducted a study using the Vaccine Safety Databank containing vaccination and demographic data on over 400,000 infants. The study was designed to determine whether infants who were exposed to ethylmercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines were at increased risk of neurological disorders. Most vaccines in America used to contain thimerosal, which is a mercury-based preservative that prevents the growth of germs. Thimerosal contains the mercury compound ethylmercury. One conclusion of the study was that infants exposed to the highest cumulative exposure to mercury were at increased risk of autism. Instead of publicizing the results to warn the public, the CDC chose not to publish or publicize. (9) Even though thimerosal was supposed to be removed from childhood vaccines in the US in 2001, it still is used in the multi-dose flu vaccine, which continues to be recommended for children and pregnant women. (10) The CDC continues to vigorously deny any link between vaccinations and autism.</p>
<p>More recently, Rep. Bill Posey of Florida spoke on the House floor:</p>
<blockquote><p>In August 2014, Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, worked with a whistleblower attorney to provide my office with documents related to a 2004 CDC study that examined the possibility of a relationship between [the] mumps, measles, rubella vaccine and autism. In a statement released in August, 2014, Dr. Thompson stated, ‘I regret that my co-authors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics.’</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, CDC scientists skewed research data in favor of vaccinations!</p>
<p>Another troubling aspect of SB277 is that it deprives families of their<br />
freedom of choice in health matters. Parents cannot decide what goes into the body of their child. Laws such as SB277 deprive us of our basic rights as free citizens. Parents who choose not to subject their child to a set of vaccinations that are of dubious value and that may even be harmful cannot have that child educated in a school. The powers aligned behind the vaccination agenda—the pharmaceutical industry, the regulating federal and state agencies, and the mainstream medical establishment and the media—are formidable.</p>
<p>Soon after SB277 passed there was an initiative to put the law on the state ballot as a referendum issue to be affirmed or repealed by the people of California. Many people signed the petition at the time but not enough to get the proposal on the ballot.</p>
<p>However, other means of maintaining health freedom are being sought. There is a new organization in California, called Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC). For more information or to support them, go to www.physiciansforinformedconsent.org. Many physicians who want to preserve health freedom have become members. Before having a medical procedure, taking a drug, or getting a vaccine, patients have the right to informed consent. Informed consent means understanding the risks and benefits and, out of that knowledge, making a choice.</p>
<p>In the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that it is a “sacred and undeniable” truth “that all men are created equal and independent, and that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”</p>
<p>SB277 is a warning sign that we have drifted too far from our inalienable rights. California parents have been stripped of one of the most basic rights—to choose whether a pharmaceutical agent (vaccine) is injected into their child’s body. If they say no, the child loses the right to a school education. Where will we go from here?</p>

Just a single publication by Poland &amp; Jacobson (1994) reports on 18 different measles outbreaks throughout North America, occurring in school populations with very high vaccination coverage for measles (71% to 99.8%). In these outbreaks, vaccinated children constituted 30% to 100% of measles cases. Many more similar outbreaks, occurring after 1994, can be found by searching epidemiologic literature.” Excerpt from Herd Immunity Myth or Reality by Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD &#8220;© [April 5, 2014] GreenMedInfo LLC.
