Parents question vaccine mandate

The Times of Trenton - NJ.com, NJ

Rally participants want choice to opt out of shots

Friday, October 17, 2008

BY LISA CORYELL

I want to thank the Times of Trenton for the exceptionally fair report on the

vaccine choice rally held in Trenton. Too often we read stories on the

vaccine-autism controversy and we are only told that all the official studies

show no link between vaccines and autism. These studies usually come to us from

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency that runs the vaccine

program, so we literally give the CDC oversight over itself.

Reporter Coryell shows us that these are not anti-vaccine fanatics, as

often portrayed in news stories. These parents are just asking for SAFE,

NON-TOXIC VACCINES. Who could possibly dispute that?

Many parents fear that ingredients in some vaccines, particularly mercury and

formaldehyde, are responsible for autism, attention deficit hyperactivity

disorder and other increasingly common neurological problems in children.

'This is not an anti-vaccine rally -- it's a freedom of choice rally,' said

Louise Habakus, one of the rally organizers. 'This one-size-fits-all approach is

really very anti-American.'

This ad ran in USA Today on Feb 12 and 29: Green our vaccines. And administer

them with greater care. http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/080212.pdf . It

shows what happened to the vaccine schedule since 1983 and it lists the toxic

ingredients like mercury, aluminum, MSG, ether, formaldehyde, and anti-freeze

commonly found in vaccines. The soaring increase in autism directly coincided

with the dramatic escalation of the number of vaccines. It's important to note

that there has never been a study done on the cumulative effect of so many

vaccines with toxic ingredients so soon on the health of a baby. This is also

the time period in which autism went from one in 10,000 children to one in every

150 on average in the U.S. (According to outdated studies from the CDC done on

eight year olds back in 2000 and 2002. The real autism disaster is much worse.

In MN, the official rate is one in every 81 children.)

Although the CDC has their vaccine safety studies, it's rare that anyone ever

looks into any of them. They're population studies, done by looking at numbers

of people. This type of research is easily flawed and the research can be

manipulated to get the desired results. The tobacco industry is famous for

studies like this that showed smoking didn't cause lung cancer. I have yet to

see even one toxicologist who would vouch for the safety of injecting known

toxins like mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde into children.

Coryell tells us, " New Jersey leads the nation in the number of childhood shots

mandated for day-care and school admission. Four new vaccines were mandated for

this fall. Children from 6 months to 5 years have until Dec. 31 to receive the

flu vaccine, along with a pneumococcal vaccine. "

This is a frightening mandate. Ninety percent of the flu vaccine available

contains a massive amount of mercury, far exceeding EPA safety limits.

A child from 6 months to age three receiving a flu vaccine gets 12.5 mcg of

mercury. This amount of mercury can be processed only by someone weighing 275

pounds according to the EPA. One month later, another 12.5 booster is

recommended. Older children receive the adult vaccine with 25 mcg of mercury.

That much mercury is meant for someone weighing 550 pounds according to the EPA.

This vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy.

This massive mercury assault easily passes the placental barrier and enters the

developing fetus whose tiny brain is just forming.

Incredibly, the manufacturers of the flu vaccine state in their published

information that accompanies the vaccine that it's never been tested on pregnant

women.

FLUARIXT, GLAXOSMITHKLINE reports,

PREGNANCY CATEGORY C: Animal reproduction

studies have not been conducted with Influenza Virus

Vaccine. It is not known whether Influenza Virus

Vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a

pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.

Influenza Virus Vaccine should be given to a

pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

FLUVIRIN®, Chiron states,

Controlled studies on FLUVIRIN® have not been

conducted to demonstrate safety in pregnant

women. The clinical judgment of the attending

physician should prevail at all times in determining

whether to administer the vaccine to a pregnant

woman (see PRECAUTIONS, Use in Pregnancy).

PREGNANCY CATEGORY C: Animal reproduction

studies have not been conducted with Influenza Virus

Vaccine (FLUVIRIN®). It is also not known whether

Influenza Virus Vaccine (FLUVIRIN®) can cause fetal

harm when administered to a pregnant woman or

can affect reproduction capacity. Influenza Virus

Vaccine (FLUVIRIN®) should be given to a pregnant

woman only if clearly needed.

The really scary thing about the mercury used in vaccines is that it was never

tested or approved by the FDA.

The mercury-based vaccine preservative thimerosal goes back 75 years. It was

invented and tested Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company in 1930. The one study

done on thimerosal was done by Eli Lilly on 22 adult patients suffering from

meningitis. There was no chance for follow-up to observe long-term effects, as

all of the patients died. Even if follow-up had been possible, damage to the

developing brains of very young children would have remained an unknown. Eli

Lilly said it was safe and the medical community just accepted it. After the

creation of the FDA, its use was simply continued. This unconscionable

oversight failure should call any safety claim into question.

In his book, Evidence of Harm, journalist Kirby points out that " ...many

researchers had sent the company documents dating back to the 1930's, each

raising a red flag about thimerosal. " (EOH 207-209). Mr. Kirby chronologically

lists over 70 years of scientific research on the damaging and deadly effects of

thimerosal that was willfully ignored by Eli Lilly and the

CDC.http://www.evidence ofharm.com/ Our CDC and FDA should be utterly

embarrassed to make safety claims based on such a pathetic history of oversight.

Aluminum, another neurotoxin commonly used in vaccines, has the same shocking

lack of any research to prove it's safe.

See my story, " IS ALUMINUM THE NEW MERCURY? "

I was so moved by the information presented about Carolyn Schmidt and her son.

But Carolyn Schmidt of Denville says her developmentally disabled son is

proof of the darker side of childhood vaccinations.

She held a picture of at 5 months old -- a chubby baby smiling brightly

into the camera -- next to the mute 16-year-old she pushed in a wheelchair.

" There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the vaccination did this to him, "

Schmidt said. " He got his DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) shot the day this

picture was taken. Within five hours he was rushed to the hospital with a grand

mal (epileptic) seizure that lasted an hour. He's never been the same since. "

No matter how many times I hear stories about normally progressing children who

were vaccinated and then regressed into the lost world of autism, it's always

heartbreaking. How can we continue to ignore thousands and thousands of parents

all saying the same thing?
