Vaccine Overview, Part 3

A Review of Evidence and Medical Hypothesis

Abstract

Previously published parts of this “Vaccine Overview” series reviewed the

U.S. Congressional Hearings on Vaccine Safety (1999-December, 2004) which

revealed gross deficiencies in vaccine safety testing by federal health

bureaucracies (FDA, CDC, NIH, etc.), as defined by Evidence-Based

Medicine (EBM) and Quality of Evidence Ratings (QER).(2,3) Because of

these deficiencies, we have no means of proving adverse vaccine reactions

when they do occur. Since the growing patterns of adverse childhood

health patterns have run parallel with increasing numbers of vaccines

being administered (now up to 32 inoculations before school), it is

reasonable and responsible to suspect a possible or likely causal

relationship, and test this hypothesis. It is conceivable

that adverse childhood health trends are accompanied by corresponding

genetic compromise and hybridization. One potential source of this

being large-scale vaccine contamination with retroviruses and their

reverse transcriptase enzymes, capable of imprinting viral DNA into the

genetics of children and future generations.

Are Current Childhood Vaccine programs compromising the genetics

of present and future generations?

Harold E. Buttram

Introduction

Previously published parts of this “Vaccine Overview” series reviewed the

steadily increasing patterns of physical and mental health problems which

have taken place since the relatively innocent times of the 1930s,

largely involving the “4-A Disorders” (i.e., Autism, ADHD, Asthma,

Allergies), now afflicting roughly one third of America’s children.(1)

They also reviewed the U.S. Congressional Hearings on Vaccine Safety

(1999-December, 2004) which revealed gross deficiencies in vaccine safety

testing by federal health bureaucracies (FDA, CDC, NIH, etc.), as defined

by Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and Quality of Evidence Ratings

(QER).(2,3)

Because of surveillance and

reporting deficiencies, we have no means of proving adverse vaccine

reactions when they do occur. Since the growing patterns of adverse

childhood health patterns have run parallel with increasing numbers of

vaccines being administered (now up to 32 inoculations before school),

common sense would have us suspect a causal relationship.

From a conceptual standpoint it is inconceivable that these adverse

childhood health trends are not accompanied by corresponding genetic

compromise and hybridization, the sources of which would be large-scale

vaccine contamination with retroviruses and their reverse transcriptase

enzymes, capable of imprinting viral DNA into the genetics of our

children.

Although the human immune system is of

almost inconceivable complexity in its detailed functions, the basic

principles are quite simple, which might be compared with a medieval

castle with an outer mote, an outer wall with parapets, and an inner

defense wall, all of which serve to protect the king (brain and nervous

system) and queen (genetic system).

Following this model, the human immune system is divided into two major

classes: Cellular Immunity, located in the mucous membranes of the

gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and their respective lymph nodes

(outer defenses), and Humoral Immunity, with production of

antigen-specific antibodies by plasma cells in the bone marrow (inner

defenses). For eons of time the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal

and respiratory tracts have been the primary sites of infectious microbe

entry into the body so that, of necessity, mucosal immunity has evolved

as the primary defense system, with humoral immunity serving a secondary

or backup role. As reviewed earlier, vaccines are reversing these

roles, (4) attempting to substitute vaccine-induced humoral immunity for

the far more efficient mucosal immunity, the latter in turn undergoing a

process of “atrophy of disuse” as a result of this role-switching.

The present article addresses some of the known pathways whereby some

viral vaccines may be implanting their genetic material into the DNA of

our children, and of the possible consequences.

Grossly Overlooked Mutational Risks

Viral vaccines, composed of mainly genetic material, may pose as much, or

even greater, potential risk for causing genetic hybridization than other

forms of vaccines (i.e., live viral or attenuated vaccines). This warning

is supported by a study reported in Viral Research, in which a nuclear

polyhedrosis virus was sent through 24 serial passages of culture media

resulting in both “genetic insertions into and deletions from the virus,”

(5) suggesting a propensity of viruses to accept, carry, and transfer

genetic material from host to host.

This research and

consideration takes on more gravity when we consider the extent of

foreign genetic contamination in current vaccines:

“Among the 32 vaccines in current use, 7 contain chick embryo fluid or

protein, 3 contain cells from monkeys, 1 contains sheep’s red blood

cells, 1 contains mouse serum, 1 contains material from guinea-pig

embryos, and 4 have cells from human aborted fetal tissue.”(6)

Additional research shows that vaccines containing aluminum, the

mercury-based preservative (Thimerosal), and formaldehyde, pose

additional risks for prompting genetic mutations following

intoxications.(6a-d)

As reviewed by in “The Dangerous Impurities of

Vaccines:”

“In 1998 and 1999 scientists representing the World Health Organization

(WHO) met with the senior vaccine regulatory scientists from the USA and

UK at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Washington D.C. to

discuss the safety of the manufacturing methods employed to produce

vaccines. No journalists were present, but official transcripts were

kept. What they record is that all the many experts that spoke expressed

grave concern over the safety of the manufacturing process currently

employed to make the licensed vaccines, such as MMR, flu, yellow fever,

and polio. It was reported by leading experts that the vaccines could not

be purified, were “primitive,” made on “crude materials,” and the

manufacturers could not meet lowered government standards. WHO

specialists reported the widespread and continuing presence in the MMR

vaccine of chicken leucosis virus. Others spoke about the presence of

foamy virus, many other viruses, toxins, foreign proteins, enzymes and

possibly prions and oncogenes, (which, being of equal or smaller size

than the desired viral vaccines, cannot be filtered out). Grave concerns

were expressed about the levels of foreign residual DNA and RNA

contaminating the vaccines. It was feared that this (contamination) could

be causing cancers and autoimmune diseases.” (7, 8)

Immune Suppression as a Co-Factor in Mutagenesis

In addition to the proneness of viral vaccines to exchange and transfer

genetic material from host to host, another danger is that viral vaccines

are inherently immunosuppressive, as reflected in the fact that viral

infections tend to lower white blood cell (WBC) counts in contrast to

bacterial infections, which raise WBC counts. Furthermore, in the field

of chemical toxicology it is universally recognized that combinations of

toxins may bring exponential increases of toxicity; that is a combination

of two chemicals may bring a 10-fold increase in toxicity, three

chemicals 100-fold increases. (9, 10) This same principle almost

certainly applies to the immunosuppressive effects of viral vaccines when

administered in combination, as with the MMR vaccine, among which the

measles vaccine is exceptionally immunosuppresive. (11-13)

Returning to the medieval castle model of the human immune system, it is

probable that the powerful, immune-suppressant effects of viral vaccines,

when given in combination, may paralyze first-line cellular (mucosal)

immune defenses sufficiently to allow viral DNA-grafting to take

place into the genetics of many infants.

Considering that these vaccines will also be carrying elements of foreign

bovine (from gelatin), chicken, monkey, and human proteins, which will

also be transplanted into infant genetics, it might not be far amiss to

consider viruses as nature’s ultimate polluters, all the more insidious

because the process remains unrecognized.

Retroviruses and Reverse Transcriptase

“A retrovirus is a virus that does not enter host cells with a DNA

genome, but an RNA genome. The most common way the RNA genome is

replicated is via the enzyme reverse transcriptase to make DNA out if its

RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host’s genome by an

integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host

cell’s DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral

family, Retroviridae.” (14)

“Reverse transcriptase, also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, is an

enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into double-stranded

DNA…Normal transcription involves synthesis of RNA from DNA; hence,

reverse transcription is the reverse of this.” (15)

It is not necessary to understand these technical terms to know their

underlying meanings. As outlined in Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s scholarly text,

Fowl! Bird Flu: It’s Not What You Think:

“Because of the way reverse transcriptase works in living cells, it is

possible that genetic material from chicken viruses (and other

retroviruses) is being woven into human DNA, especially that of our

children.” (16)

Known sources of retrovirus/reverse transcriptase contaminations include

the avian leukosis virus subgroup E and endogenous avian virus in measles

and mumps vaccines (17) the influenza vaccine, (18) the sources being

traced back to cultures in fertilized chicken eggs.

M.G. Montinari and Immunogenetics

Dr. Montinari and colleagues are best known for investigating the

relationship between postvaccine central nervous system (CNS) diseases

and mutation of human leukocyte antigens, (HLA) which essentially strip

the body’s brain and nerve tissues of their outer coating of myelin. (19)

The HLA system is one which aids an individual’s immune system to

differentiate that which is “self” from that which is “nonself.” Although

the mechanisms are complex, it is a system which, during embryonic life,

learns to recognize healthy or normal cells of the body as “self” so that

these cells will remain unmolested by the search and destroy mechanisms

of the immune system, leaving the immune system free to eliminate foreign

invaders. Of special concern is the fact that the HLA system also carries

an increased proneness to mutations, which may result in an impairment of

self-recognition. This process may be the fundamental cause underlying

autoimmune disorders, in which the immune system attacks the cells of its

own body.

Montinari found that certain alleles of HLA (A3 and DR7) were more

frequent in patients with postvaccine-induced illness, which implicates

an immunogenetic basis for such illnesses. What caused much concern was

that Montinari and other researchers implicated vaccine adjuvants

(additives), such as mercury-containing Thimerosal, as causing genetic

mutations by modifying the amino acids in presenting antigen proteins.

Herpes Virus Integration with DNA Transferred from Parents to

Babies

Based on a public release of 2-Sept-2008 from the University of Rochester

Medical Center, new research has shown that some parents pass on the

human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) to their children because it is integrated

into the parental chromosomes. This is the first time a virus has been

shown to become a part of the human DNA and then get passed to subsequent

generations.

This unique form of congenital infection may be occurring in as many as 1

in 116 newborns according to the report. The long-term consequences for a

child’s development and immune system are unknown. (23)

Since it is known that viral DNA can be engrafted into parental DNA and

then passed on to subsequent generations, should we not be investigating

today’s live virus vaccines from this standpoint and looking into the

possible consequences?

Summary and Conclusions

As outlined above, there are several factors indicating a possibility

that the soaring incidence of physical and mental illnesses among today’s

children are causally related to current childhood vaccine programs.

Primary among these is the large-scale contamination of the measles,

mumps, and influenza vaccines with retroviruses capable of engrafting

their genetics into the DNA of childhood recipients. This is rendered

more likely because of the cavalier regard with which combinations of

viral vaccines are now being administered, primarily involving the MMR

vaccines, but conceivably also in combination with chicken pox and

influenza vaccines in today’s vaccine schedules, in spite of the

toxicology principle that combinations of toxins may bring exponential

(10-fold or 100-fold) increases in toxicity.

With some of today’s routine viral vaccines known to be contaminated with

retroviruses and administered under conditions likely to bring

varying degrees of immune paralysis in the recipient, these are

conditions under which genetic hybridization would appear to be likely or

inevitable.

Admittedly, this is indirect evidence which does not constitute proof,

but consider this: The steadily increasing patterns of physical and/or

mental illnesses among American children show no signs of abating. Unless

this issue is definitively addressed, at some future time the process

will pass a point of no return socially and economically from the sheer

numbers of incapacitated children.

America unquestionably has the scientific technology to work out the

proof that is needed to mandate a reduction and modification of current

vaccine programs. The question is whether or not we have the necessary

insights and determination to do so.
