WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID TAKING VACCINES

[Guest guest]

RE: this article, and others.

I've just thought of a rebuttal for those that are so sure that we

anti-vaxxers are nuts.

I've heard often and read often that 'we' are using statistics to justify

our stance. We twist numbers to reflect what we wish them to. While in fact

being very true about how most statistics are used, why do the people who

question our use of the data, not question the use of the statistics of

pro-vaxxers? " WE " have so little to gain by suggesting that vaccines are

useless at best and dangerous at worst why worry about us, and yet those

that challenge our views often fully concur with the pro-vaxxers, who

inevitably stand only to gain monetarily by suggesting vaccines are

effective and NECESSARY.

Aside; has anyone read M. Palmer's book, FATAL. Good read if you like his

stuff. He could have been stronger, but he is author, not a anti-vaxxer, so

what the heck - a good story nonetheless.

Aside; as a journalist-public relations major; what strikes me most about a

number of the media stories - across the board, not just vaccinations, is

how little the public understands what they are being fed.

What we were taught in school is 3% is what you are receiving from any given

media source on any given subject on any given day.

I think it is much more watered down, because if you look at how information

comes about, 3% has to be pretty generous.

For instance

3% of factual data (presumably written), because no research, fact-gathering

is ever complete

3% of that data available in public context, not in a " secret " vault

somewhere

3% of released information being compressed by the writer (so you can

understand - you poor uneducated slob!)

that writer's bias (we all have one)

that writer's employer's bias (that which bleeds = reads!)

the space/time available for that media outlet

We are never getting the FULL story, and I don't think we get 3%, something

more along the lines of 0.5% if that.

Just points to ponder,

Good day,

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID TAKING VACCINES

By Dr. Howenstine, MD.

December 7, 2003

NewsWithViews.com

Dr. R. , former director of the National institute of

health declared, " the only safe vaccine is one that is never used. "

Cowpox vaccine was believed able to immunize people against smallpox. At

the time this vaccine was introduced, there was already a decline in the number

of cases of smallpox. Japan introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In 1892

there were 165,774 cases of smallpox with 29,979 deaths despite the vaccination

program. A stringent compulsory smallpox vaccine program, which prosecuted those

refusing the vaccine, was instituted in England in 1867. Within 4 years 97.5 %

of persons between 2 and 50 had been vaccinated. The following year England

experienced the worst smallpox epidemic[1] in its history with 44,840 deaths.

Between 1871 and 1880 the incidence of smallpox escalated from 28 to 46 per

100,000. The smallpox vaccine does not work. Much of the success attributed to

vaccination programs may actually have been due to improvement in public health

related to water quality and sanitation, less crowded living conditions, better

nutrition, and higher standards of living.

Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly declining before the vaccine

for that disease was introduced. In England the incidence of polio had decreased

by 82 % before the polio vaccine was introduced in 1956. In the early 1900s an

astute Indiana physician, Dr. W.B. e, stated " Cancer was practically

unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox vaccine began to be introduced.

I have had to deal with two hundred cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of

cancer in an unvaccinated[2] person. " There is a widely held belief that

vaccines should not be criticized because the public might refuse to take them.

This is valid only if the benefits exceed the known risks of the vaccines.

Do Vaccines Actually Prevent Disease? This important question does not appear

to have ever been adequately studied. Vaccines are enormously profitable for

drug companies and recent legislation in the U.S. has exempted lawsuits against

pharmaceutical firms in the event of adverse

reactions to vaccines which are very common. In 1975 Germany stopped requiring

pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination. Today less than 10 % of German children

are vaccinated against pertussis. The number of cases of pertussis has steadily

decreased[3] even though far fewer children are receiving pertussis vaccine.

Measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98 % in

all parts of the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of measles for

years. As measles immunization rates rise to high levels measles becomes a

disease seen only in vaccinated persons. An outbreak of measles occurred in a

school where 100 % of the children had been vaccinated. Measles mortality rates

had declined by 97 % in England before measles vaccination was instituted. In

1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90 % of these cases

occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated. Similar vaccine

failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis

continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination. Pertussis remains

endemic[4] in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96 % of children have

received 3 pertussis shots by age 12 months. After institution of diptheria

vaccination in England and Wales in 1894 the number of deaths from diptheria

rose by 20 % in the subsequent 15 years. Germany had compulsory vaccination in

1939. The rate of diptheria spiraled to 150,000 cases that year whereas, Norway

which did not have compulsory vaccination, had only 50 cases of diptheria the

same year. The continued presence of these infectious diseases in children who

have received vaccines proves that life long immunity which follows natural

infection does not occur in persons receiving vaccines. The injection process

places the viral particles into the blood without providing any clear way to

eliminate these foreign substances. Why Do Vaccines Fail To Protect

Against Diseases? Walene , author of Immunization: the

Reality Behind The Myth, states that the full[5] inflammatory response is

necessary to create real immunity. Prior to the introduction of measles and

mumps vaccines children got measles and mumps and in the great majority of cases

these diseases were benign. Vaccines " trick " the body so it does not mount a

complete inflammatory response to the injected virus. Vaccines and Sudden

Infant Death Syndrome SIDS The incidence of Sudden Infant Death syndrome SIDS

has grown from .55 per 1000 live births in 1953 to 12.8 per 1000 in 1992 in

Olmstead County, Minnesota. The peak incidence for SIDS is age 2 to 4 months the

exact time most vaccines are being given to children. 85 % of cases of SIDS

occur in the first 6 months of infancy. The increase in SIDS as a percentage of

total infant deaths has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in

1992. This rise in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every

childhood disease was declining due to improved sanitation and

medical progress except SIDS. These deaths from SIDS did increase during a

period when the number of vaccines given a child was steadily rising to 36 per

child. Dr. W. Torch was able to document 12 deaths in infants which appeared

within 3½ and 19 hours of a DPT immunization. He later reported 11 new cases of

SIDS death and one near miss which had occurred within 24 hours of a DPT

injection. When he studied 70 cases of SIDS two thirds of these victims[6] had

been vaccinated from one half day to 3 weeks prior to their deaths. None of

these deaths was attributed to vaccines. Vaccines are a sacred cow and nothing

against them appears in the mass media because they are so profitable to

pharmaceutical firms. There is valid reason to think that not only are

vaccines worthless in preventing disease they are counterproductive because they

injure the immune system permitting cancer, auto-immune diseases and SIDS to

cause much disability and death. Are Vaccines Sterile? Dr.

Strecker claimed that the department of defense DOD was given $10,000,000 in

1969 to create the AIDS virus to be used as a population-reducing[7] weapon

against blacks. By use of the Freedom of Information Act Dr. Strecker was able

to learn that the DOD secured funds from Congress to perform studies on immune

destroying agents for germ warfare. Once produced, the vaccine was given in

two locations. Smallpox vaccine containing HIV was given to 100,000,000 Africans

in 1977. Over 2000 young white homosexual males in New York City were given

Hepatitis B vaccine that contained HIV virus in 1978. This vaccine was given at

New York City Blood Center. The Hepatitis B vaccine containing the HIV virus was

also administered to homosexual males in San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.Louis,

Houston and Chicago in 1978 and 1979. U.S. Public Health epidemiology studies

have disclosed that these same 6 cities had the highest incidence of AIDS, Aids

related Complex (ARC) and deaths rates from HIV, when

compared to other U.S. cities. When a new virus is introduced into a

community. It takes 20 years for the number of cases to double. If the

fabricated story that green monkey bites of pygmies led to the HIV epidemic, the

alleged monkey bites in the 1940s should have produced a peak in the incidence

of HIV in the 1960s at which time HIV was non existent in Africa. The World

Health Organization (WHO) began a African smallpox vaccination campaign in 1977

that targeted urban population centers and avoided pygmies. If the green monkey

bites of pygmies truly caused the HIV epidemic the incidence of HIV in pygmies

should have been higher than in urban citizens. However, the opposite was true.

In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy (bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in

supposedly sterile inactivated polio vaccine[8] developed by Dr. Jonas Salk.

This discovery was not well received at the NIH and Dr. Eddy was demoted. Later

Dr. Eddy, working with , discovered SE polyoma

virus. This virus was quite important because it caused cancer in every animal

receiving it. Yellow fever vaccine had previously been found to contain avian

(bird) leukemia virus. Later Dr. Hilleman isolated SV 40 virus from both the

Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. There were 40 different viruses[9] in these polio

vaccines they were trying to eradicate. They were never able to get rid of these

viruses ontaminating the polio vaccines. The SV 40 virus causes malignancies. It

has now been identified in 43 % of cases of non-Hodgekin lymphoma[10] , 36 % of

brain tumors[11] , 18 % of healthy blood samples, and 22 % of healthy semen

samples, mesothiolomas and other malignancies. By the time of this discovery SV

40 had already been injected into 10,000,000 people in Salk vaccine. Gastric

digestion inactivtes some of SV 40 in Sabin vaccine. However, the isolation of

strains of Sabin polio vaccine from all 38 cases of Guillan Barre Syndrome[12]

GBS in Brazil suggests that significant numbers

of persons are able to be infected from this vaccine. All 38 of these patients

had received Sabin polio vaccine months to years before the onset of GBS. The

incidence of non-Hodgekin lymphoma has " mysteriouly " doubled since the 1970s.

Dr. , Professor of Pathology at the Univ. of Southern California, was

employed by the Viral Oncology Branch of the Bureau of Biologics (FDA) from 1976

to 1980. While employed there he identified foreign DNA in the live polio

vaccine Orimune Lederle that suggested serious vaccine contamination. He warned

his supervisors about this problem and was told to discontinue his work as it

was outside the scope of testing required for polio vaccine. Later Dr.

learned that all eleven of the African green monkeys used to grow the Lederle

polio virus Orimune had grown simian cytomegalovirus from kidney cell cultures.

Lederle was aware of this viral contamination as their Cytomegaloviral

Contamination Plan[13] clearly showed in 1972. The Bureau

of Biologics decided not to pursue the matter so production of infected polio

vaccine continued. In 1955 Dr. identified unique cell destroying

viruses termed stealth viruses in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. These

viruses lacked genes that would enable the immune system to recognize them. Thus

they were protected by the body's failure to develop antiviral antibodies. In

March of 1995, Dr. learned that some of these stealth viruses had

originated from African green monkey simian cytomegalovirus of a type known to

infect man. The Lederle vaccine experience suggests that the higher-ups are

not concerned about sloppy and dangerous preparation of vaccines. Animal cross

infection is a huge unsolved current problem for all vaccine manufacturing. If

this vaccine production sounds like an unbelievable mess to you, you are right.

The influential Club of Rome has a position paper in which they state that the

world population is too large and needs to be reduced by

90 %. This means that 6 billion people must be reduced to 500 to 600 million.

Obviously, creating famines and genocidal wars such as wrecked havoc in Africa,

and loosing new laboratory-created diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg[14] , and

probably West Nile virus and SARS) can help reduce the population. Other elitist

groups (Trilaterals, Bildenbergers) have expressed similar concerns about excess

people on planet Earth. The company that was projected to produce the new

smallpox vaccine in the U.S. was in serious trouble in England because of

unsatisfactory quality of operations before setting up their facility in the

U.S. Why would their performance here be any better than it was in England? If

there are important powerful groups of people that are determined to reduce the

world population, what could be a more diabolically clever way to eliminate

people than to inject them with a cancer-causing vaccine? The person receiving

the injection would never suspect that the vaccine taken 10

to 15 years earlier had caused the cancer to appear. Other Dangers From

Vaccines In the March 4, 1977 issue of Science Jonas and Darrell Salk warn,

" Live virus vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance

produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus against measles and

mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage). The swine

flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though there had never

been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Farmers refused to use the

vaccine because it killed too many animals. Within a few months of use in humans

this vaccine caused many cases of serious nerve injury (Guillan Barre syndrome).

An article in the Washington Post on Jan. 26, 1988 mentioned that all cases of

polio since 1979 had been caused by the polio vaccine with no known cases of

polio from a wild strain since 1979. This might have created a perfect situation

to discontinue the vaccine, but the vaccine is

still given. Vaccines are a wonderful source of profits with no risks to the

drug companies since vaccine injuries are now recompensed by the government.

The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed

by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid

arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma)

seen in children. While there is a genetic transmission of some of these

diseases many are probably due to the injury from foreign protein particles,

mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents injected in vaccines.

In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine was recommended by the Center for Disease Control

for all infants. When this vaccine program was instituted several infants died

and many had life endangering bowel obstructions. Prelicensure trials[15] of the

rotavirus vaccine had demonstrated an increased incidence of intussusception 30

times greater than normal but the vaccine was released

anyway without special warnings to practitioners to be on the lookout for bowel

problems. Children's vaccines are often not studied for toxicity possibly

because such study might eliminate them from being used. A large study from

Australia showed that the risk of developing encephalitis from the pertussis

vaccine was 5 times greater than the risk of developing encephalitis by

contacting pertussis by natural methods. Naturally acquired immunity by

illness evolves by spread of a virus from the respiratory tract to the liver,

thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When symptoms begin, the entire immune response

has been mobilized to repel the invading virus. This complex immune system

response creates antibodies that confer life long immunity against that invading

virus and prepares the child to respond promptly to an infection by the same

virus in the future. Vaccination, in contrast, results in the persisting of

live virus or other foreign antigens within the cells of the body, a

situation that may provoke auto-immune reactions as the body attempts to

destroy its own infected cells. There is no surprise that the incidence of

auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus,

multiple sclerosis, asthma, psoriasis) has risen sharply in this era of multiple

vaccine immunization. Vaccine Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Dr.

Classen has published 29 articles on vaccine-induced[16] diabetes. At least 8 of

10 children with Type 1 (insulin needing) diabetes have this disease as a result

of vaccination. These children may have avoided measles, mumps, and whooping

cough but they have received something far worse: an illness that shortens life

expectancy by 10 to 15 years and results in a life requiring constant medical

care. Dr. Classen has shown in Finland, the introduction of hemophilus type b

vaccine caused three times as many cases of type 1 diabetes as the number of

deaths and brain damage from hemophilus influenza type b it

might have prevented. In New Zealand, the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in

children rose by 61 % after an aggressive vaccine program against hepatitis B..

This same program has been started in the U.S.A. so we can now look forward to

many cases of Type 1 diabetes in children. Similar rises in Type 1 diabetes have

been seen in England, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark after immunization programs

against Hepatitis B. Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.

Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the vaccines

from becoming infected or to improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these

substances are mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[17] In the past 10 years,

the number of autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500 percent in

every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction of

measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975. Representative Dan Burton's

healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one

day. These injections were instantly followed by autism. These injections

contain a preservative of mercury called thimerosal. The boy received 41 times

the amount of mercury which is capable of harm to the body. Mercury is a

neurotoxin that can injure the brain and nervous system. And tragically, it did.

In the United States the number of compulsory vaccine injections has increased

from 10 to 36 in the last 25 years. During this period, there has been a

simultaneous increase in the number of children suffering learning disabilities

and attention deficit disorder. Some of these childhood disabilities are related

to intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal cocaine use, but probably vaccines

cause many of the others. Many vaccines contain aluminum. A new disease called

macrophagic myofasciitis causes pain in muscles, bones and joints. All persons

with this disease have received aluminum containing vaccines. Deposits of

aluminum are able to remain as an irritant in tissues and

disturb the immune and nervous system for a lifetime. Nearly all vaccines

contain aluminum and mercury. These metals appear to play an important role in

the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. An expert at the 1997 International Vaccine

Conference related that a person who takes 5 or more annual flu vaccine shots

has increased the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's Disease by a factor of 10

over the person who has had 2 or fewer flu shots. When we take vaccines we are

playing a modern version of Russian Roulette. We not only get exposed to

aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins but we may get simian

virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause cancer, leukemia and other

severe health problems because the vaccine pool is contaminated due to careless

animal isolation techniques. Congress has protected the manufacturers from

lawsuits, so dangerous vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug

companies. U.S. children aged 2 months began

receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December 2000.No peer-reviewed studies of the

safety of hepatitis B in this age bracket had been done. Over 36,000 adverse

reactions with 440 deaths were soon reported but the true incidence is much

higher as reporting is voluntary so only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions

get reported. This means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the

hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC's Chief of Epidemiology admits that the frequency

of serious reactions to hepatitis B vaccine is 10 times higher than other

vaccines. Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and by contaminated blood, so the

incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A vaccine

expert, Dr. Philip Incao, states that " the conclusion is obvious that the

risks[18] of hepatitis B vaccination far outweigh the benefits. Once a vaccine

is mandated the vaccine manufacturer is no longer liable for adverse reactions.

Dr. W.B. e's important observation that cancer was not

found in unvaccinated individuals demands an explanation and one now appears

forthcoming. All vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature

immune system deplete the thymus gland (the primary gland involved in immune

reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could

have multiplied and developed into an army of valuable cells to combat infection

and growth of abnormal cells. When these immune cells have been used up,

permanent immunity may not appear. The Arthur Research Foundation in Tucson,

Arizona estimates that up to 60 % of our immune system may be exhausted[19] by

multiple mass vaccines (36 are now required for children). Only 10 % of immune

cells are permanently lost when a child is permitted to develop natural immunity

from disease. There needs to be grave concern about these immune system injuring

vaccinations! Could the persons who approve these mass vaccinations know that

they are impairing the health of these children, many of whom

are being doomed to requiring much medical care in the future? Compelling

evidence is available that the development of the immune system after

contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight

infection and malignant cells in the future. The use of multiple vaccines,

which prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of allergies and

asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23 % of vaccinated children develop

asthma , as compared to zero in unvaccinated children. Cancer was a very rare

illness in the 1890's. This evidence about immune system injury from vaccinating

affords a plausible explanation for Dr. e's finding that only vaccinated

individuals got cancer. Some radical adverse change in health occurred in the

early 1900s to permit cancer to explode and vaccinating appears to be the

reason. Vaccines are an unnatural phenomena. My guess is that if enough

persons said no to immunizations there would be a striking improvement in

general health with nature back in the immunizing business instead of man.

Having a child vaccinated should be a choice not a requirement. Medical and

religious exemptions are permitted by most states. When governmental policies

require vaccinations before children enter schools coercion has overruled the

lack of evidence of vaccine efficacy and safety. There is no proof that vaccines

work and they are never studied for safety before release. My opinion is that

there is overwhelming evidence that vaccines are dangerous and the only reason

for their existence is to increase profits of pharmaceutical firms. If you are

forced to immunize your children so they can enter school, obtain a notarized

statement from the director of the facility that they will accept full financial

responsibility for any adverse reaction from the vaccine. Since there is at

least a 2 percent risk of a serious adverse reaction they may be smart enough to

permit your child to escape a dangerous procedure.

Recent legislation passed by Congress gives the government the power to

imprison persons refusing to take vaccines (smallpox, anthrax, etc). This would

be troublesome to enforce if large numbers of citizens declined to be vaccinated

at the same time. Footnotes: 1 Null Vaccination: An Analysis of the
