Vaccination—What I’ve Learned

 

Over the past several years I’ve carried out an extensive survey of vaccination research, both historical records and current research abstracts, books and statistical studies.  This paper summarises what I’ve learned.

 

Good studies are few and far between.

Most studies are over too short a period of time to show full results*

Most studies ignore systemic effects and toxicology*

Most studies are commercially driven and funded.

Most raw data collections are private and not available to the public.

 

We need to pay attention to the good studies.

Epidemiological studies show that public health measures and increasing standards of living are far more effective than vaccines in reducing the incidence and morbidity of childhood illnesses, certainly in the long-term and probably also in the local short-term.

Many studies show that vaccines don’t work for everybody and sometimes not at all—particularly pertussis, TB, measles, oral or injected polio, rota virus, flu vaccines and meningitis vaccines.

Good studies point out not only main effect, but also possible side effects, and raise questions that ought to be part of making informed choices.

 

New genetically engineered vaccines—GMV’s—are already out there.

Vaccine manufacturers are under pressure to produce non-toxic vaccines.

The race is on to produce GM antigens for vaccines rather than wild antigens.  These will require fewer toxic additives.

3 GM flu’s and 1 Hepatitis B vaccine are now being sold in SA (2006).  Several others are expected on the market by 2008, including a whole series of ‘food vaccines’ that will come in your cornflakes and maize meal.

The technology of antigen selection, insertion and control is in its infancy and very imprecise.  This is admitted in the industry.

Cross species and transgenic effects are underplayed and often ignored.

Long-term studies of systemic and ecological effects have not been done.

Studies that point out serious unintended effects are systemically suppressed and their authors suppressed.

 

Serious question need to be asked.

Why are ecological and epidemiological studies not required or done?

Why is the toxicology of standard vaccines ignored or defined away (re-diagnosed) despite conclusive evidence (and admission) that it is a major factor in autism and other neurological disturbances in children?

Why the rush to get untested GMV’s on the market?  I’m not stupid.  Profit of course.

 

­­­­­­Short term studies need to be questioned

*The following charts illustrate how it is possible to crop data in order to make a vaccine look effective—data abstraction. 

The lesson is to look at the historical record and the whole data package involved in a study.

 

 

Here is an example from the real world which shows a time-series trend and how difficult it can be to see the real effect of vaccination—in this case the live oral polio vaccine.  You will find this pattern in nearly all long term studies for every disease in most countries.  Contact the author for additional UN data of this type.

 

 

In the period of 1980 to mid 1983, before implementation of live oral vaccination program--the poliomyelitis morbidity rate in the Domincan Republic underwent a natural decline equivalent to 98.5% to what is practically an eradication level of only 1 per million. OVP was followed by a continuing natural decline to zero, however the incidence of poliomyelitis then underwent a minor increase for two years, and gradually returned to a zero level in 1980.

 

"The decline in infectious diseases in developed countries had nothing to do with vaccinations, but with the decline in poverty and hunger.  ~Dr Buchwald, M.D.

"Up to 90% of the total decline in the death rate of children between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and measles occurred before the introduction of immunisations and antibiotics.  ~Dr Archie Kalokerinos, M.D.

“These days, your child is more likely to develop polio from the vaccine than from a wild strain of the virus.  The 'live' oral polio vaccine in America is being withdrawn for this reason   ~Cave & Mitchell.

 

“Today less than 10% of German children are vaccinated against pertussis.  The number of cases of pertussis has steadily decreased even though far fewer children are receiving the pertussis vaccine.  In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90% of these cases occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated.  Similar failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination.  Pertussis remains endemic in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96% of children have received 3 pertussis shots by age of 12 months.  Measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates approaching 100%.  ~Dr James Howenstine

 

 

Vaccine Types

 

Vaccines may be living, weakened strains of viruses or bacteria which intentionally give rise to mini-infections. Vaccines may also be killed or inactivated organisms or purified products derived from them.

 

There are three basic types of traditional vaccines:

1.     Inactivated vaccine are previously virulent micro-organisms that have been killed with chemicals or heat. Examples are vaccines against flu, polio, bubonic plague, and hepatitis A. Most such vaccines may have incomplete or short-lived immune responses and are likely to require booster shots.

2.     Live, attenuated vaccines are live micro-organisms that have been cultivated under conditions which disable their virulent properties. They typically provoke more durable immunological responses, but with a higher probability of side effects. Examples include yellow fever, measles, rubella, oral polio, whooping cough and mumps.

3.     Toxoids are inactivated toxic compounds from micro-organisms in cases where these (rather than the micro-organism itself) causes illness. Examples of toxoid-based vaccines include tetanus and diphtheria.

 

And at least seven types of genetically modified vaccines—GMVs.

1.     Subunit vaccines consist of laboratory built antigens based on the decoded DNA sequence of the pathogen.

2.     Recombinant vaccines are made by insertion of DNA fragments from an infective agent or cell into a carrier virus that can invade and replicate inside a host cell.  The GM DNA will then express its protein and cause an immune response.

3.     GM viruses as homologous vaccines are made by directly manipulating a virus DNA to render it less infective but still immunogenic.  Also being tried with bacteria.

4.     Live Vector vaccines insert virulent DNA fragments into a non-pathogenic carrier—usually a common virus, such as bird flu viruses or pox viruses.

5.     DNA vaccines insert foreign DNA directly into the body—into muscle for example.

6.     RNA vaccines do as above but with RNA instead of DNA

7.     Edible, plant produced vaccines are made by genetically manipulating plants to make subunits of infectious agents which can then be consumed in food.

 

 

Neurotoxic Ingredients in Vaccines

 

The Vaccines listed below contain two or more of the following neurotoxic ingredients used in their preparation. 

The younger you are, or if the immune system is compromised in any way, the greater the relative toxicity.

 

Thimerosal (mercury); Formaldehyde; Aluminium; Monosodium Glutamate (MSG); Phenol; Tributylphosphate

 

DTP-DTaP    -Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis

HIB              -Haemophilus Influenzae Type B

Energix B     -Hepatitis B

Havrix          -Hepatitis A

Fluvirin         -Flu Vaccine

FluShield      -Flu Vaccine

IPOL             -Inactivated Polio Vaccine

Menomune  -Meningitis Vaccine

Pneumovax            -Neumococcal Vaccine

Prevnar        -Neumococcal Vaccine

Imovax        -Rabies Vaccine

Recombivax  -Hepatitis B

RotaShield    -Rota Virus Vaccine

Varivax        -Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vaccine

MMR            -Measles, Mumps, Rubella

The New 5 in 1 Multiple Vaccine (containing some GM antigens)

 

The relationship between Mercury toxicity and autistic spectrum disorders, and with other neuro-behavioral problems is well extablished.  Some manufacturers are attempting to move away from thimerosal in vaccines, but others say it is essential as a stabiliser of the antigens.  Ask your doctor to check the labels!

 

Monosodium Glutamate MSG is dangerous to humans, especially to embryos inside the newly pregnant mother.  It is a powerful neuro-endocrine toxicant.  Used in animal research to fatten up mice.  Gerber’s Baby Foods have banned it in their preparations.  Nearly all readily available vaccines contain it.

 

Formaldehyde:  well, you know what this is don’t you?  You want it in your baby?

 

Phenol is essentially antifreeze.  Tributyl phosphate is a solvent, herbicide and fungicide, paint stripper.

 

Aluminium accumulates in the brains of many people.  Associated with high levels of memory loss and dementia in older people.  Stimulates immune responses in babies.  Used as a vaccine potentiser.

 

Antibiotics and antifungals are also routinely added to vaccine preparations.  These may have a role in opening the nervous system to neurotoxicants.

 

 

What Some Doctors are Saying

 

“The incidence of childhood asthma, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases has doubled during the past 20 years; Attention Deficit Disorder has tripled, Autism has increased 600%.  What part have vaccines played?”  Stanley Monteith, M.D.

 

“As the number of childhood vaccines has increased 700%, from 3 in the 70’s to 22 in 2000, the prevalence of autism has also showed a parallel increase of 700%”  Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.

 

“Measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and the whole panoply of childhood diseases are a far less serious threat than having a large fraction (say 10%) of a generation afflicted with learning disability and/or uncontrollable aggressive behaviour because of an impassioned crusade for universal vaccination.  There are pausible mechanisms such as molecular mimicry whereby vaccines could have such effects.”  Jane Orient, M.D.

 

“Autism may be a disorder linked to the disruption of the G-alpha protein, affecting retinoid receptors in the brain.  A study of 60 autistic children suggests that autism may be caused by inserting a G-alpha protein defect, the pertussis toxin found in the DTP vaccine, into genetically at-risk children.”  Mary N. Megson, M.D.

 

“Regardless of how often the authorities attest that the MMR vaccine is safe, an increasing number of parents here (in the UK) and in Europe are refusing to believe them.  Safety trials not looking beyond 3 weeks post-vaccination convince no one.” 

F. Edward Yasbak, M.D.

 

“Thimerosal (mercury compound) is one of the most toxic compounds I know of.  I can’t think of anything I know of that is more lethal.”  Boyd Haley, M.D.

 

“Autism is upon us because it’s the outcome of the 50-year experiment of dousing every living being with an overload of toxic substances, including vaccines.”  Gregory Ellis, M.D.

 

“There is growing evidence that immunizations cause a large number of other chronic diseases including autoimmune diseases, allergies, asthma, cancers, and Gulf War Syndrome.  Data linking these diseases to vaccines includes human and animal data.” 

J. Barthelow Classen, M.D.

 

“The term ‘risk’ is very often confused with probability, and hence used erroneously.  Risk is defined as the probability that a certain event will take place multiplied by the consequences arising if it takes place.  The atomic bomb makes a good basis for conceiving the contents of the term.  With regard to the development and commercialisation of genetically engineered nucleic acids, organisms, and viruses, we often are neither able to define probability of unintended events nor the consequences of them.  Hence, the present state of ignorance makes scientifically based risk assessments impossible.  This calls for invoking the ‘precautionary principle.’  Professor Terje Traavik

Does Vaccination Skew the Immune System?

 

Some vaccines, such as the DTP and DTaP triple vaccine—diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis—aim to stimulate B-cells to make large numbers of specific antibodies against these bacterial antigens.  This is called the TH2 response.

 

Other vaccines, notably the MMR triple vaccine—measles, mumps and rubella—aim to stimulate T-cells to mount general inlfammation—the cellular or non-specific response more effective against these viruses.  This is called the TH1 response.

 

In both the New England Journal of Medicine and the journal, Thorax, studies have appeared stating that a healthy baby (up to year 2 at least) has an immune system biased toward the TH1 non-specific side; that is, against a wide range of non-bacterial pathogens.

On the other hand, children with multiple allergies, asthma, and diseases of an auto-immune origin (e.g., early onset diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis), have what is known as the 'TH2 skewed immune response.'  A study of immune system peptide (cytokine) levels in 20 autistic children by S. Gupta and co-workers found that TH1 peptide levels were consistently lowered, and that TH2 peptides were consistently elevated as compared to controls.

A number of other researchers have pointed out that children (especially babies who are not being breast fed) suffer when their immune system gets skewed in either direction, that is, either toward TH2 or TH1 responses.

Post-Vaccinia Encephalitis (PVE)—Symptoms & Signs

 

The following collection of PVE symptoms & signs was gleaned from some 200 articles, research abstracts and books in the vaccination field.  Vaccines vary in their possible damaging effects, but each of the signs & symptoms listed has been linked to 2 or more of the routine vaccinations given to babies and toddlers in S. Africa.

The expression of symptoms and signs will vary between children.  The vast majority of healthy children escape any long-term effects.  An unfortunate few do not.  There has been an alarming global increase in reported PVE cases since the 1940’s.

Genetically Modified Foods  & Vaccines—South Africa

 

The technology behind genetic engineering began with secret biological weapons research, started by the Nazi’s and continued to this day in all major countries.  It has spawned the biotech industry of GM crops, GM drugs, GM vaccines, and GM whole organisms.

 

GM Crops Currently Grown Commercially in South Africa 2007

Estimates are:

                   Maize                    +50% (moving to 80+%)

                   Soya                      50-80%        (moving toward 100%)

                   Cotton                  75-80%        (proportion of cotton oils unknown)

 

South Africa imports thousands of tonnes of GM maize and GM soya from Argentina and the USA. It is estimated that 90% of soya products sold in SA are GM-contaminated due to mixing in shipment.  This includes soya in baby formulae.  GM maize levels are also shooting up with major imports from Argentina lined up.  They can’t sell it at home and it’s cheap.  Ironically, South Africa will be exporting some of its GM-free maize.

 

Unlike the Americans and South Africans, many countries and local authorities are taking the precautionary approach.  They are not convinced that genetic engineering is either safe or economic in the long run.  Extensive lab work with GM-fed mice showing strong adverse effects could not be hushed up, and eventually led to Europe’s anti-GM stance and import restrictions.  South African GM maize cannot be exported to the EU, nor to Zimbabwe or Zambia. 

 

Studies show that cows routinely avoid all GM feed if they have a choice, and do not thrive on it, nor reproduce so readily.  Argentine data prove that the advertised economic benefits for farmers are short-lived indeed.   Farmers in Canada and the United States are getting back to non-GM as quickly as possible, for legal as well as health and economic reasons.  Many realise that they have to move to full organic production.

 

The average north American has been eating GM for years without knowing about it or caring, one way or the other.  It’s not been an election issue.  It doesn’t get the blame for rising infertility levels, morbid disease, pollution, or any share of the rising costs of medical/veterinary care.  The cows know, the farmers know (many went for it), but the public are the unwitting subjects of a vast corporate-medical experiment—they are the guinea pigs.  As we are in South Africa today.

 

Monsanto, Cargill and many biotech and drugs companies are looking for more ‘products’ and ‘volunteers’ all the time, especially now in the developing world since the European GM food market is closed to them.  And they are doing so with scant regard for powerful scientific arguments urging extreme caution, and seem deaf to calls for more research and development work before even considering any release of GM organisms in the environment.  The listed biotech companies together lost some $50bn in 2004.  They will do anything and promise anything to save their toxic skins.  Drugs companies are proping up the industry on the promise of GM drugs and vaccines introduced via ordinary foodstuffs.

 

Not even the Europeans have paid much attention to GM Vaccines; all the emphasis has been on farms and food chain issues.  And yet, because there are so many GM vaccines in development, and because they are aimed at babies and children in edible or droplet form, the lack of long-term safety research is even more disturbing. 

Vets in the USA and some other countries have been dosing herds with experiemental GM vaccines without even knowing.

Import restrictions on vaccines do not yet include any reference to genetic engineering or modification.  This remains a free market.    In fact, there are no import restrictions or labelling laws in force in South Africa. 

 

Soya and maizemeal labelled GM-Free may still contain ‘allowable’ traces.  But there is no research or known ‘safe dose’ of GM materials—whether in foods or vaccines.  It’s extremely unlikely that strange pieces of DNA released into an ecosystem will be without consequences, whatever the dose.

Comments

 

Anthony Jackson quoted in The Scotsman May 2006

“Non evidence of harm” is not equivalent to “there is evidence of no harm.”  The health committee of the Scottish Parliament, after taking evidence from government advisors and the Royal Society, declared that releasing GM crops into the environment violated the precautionary principle, and called for full toxicological testing of GM crops and food.

There is ongoing debate, and when the scientific community is so split, and there is no evidence of safety, GM crops should not be released into the open environment, where the effects will be irreversible; GM food should not be allowed in the food chain, where the effects are unknown.

Where GM crops have been grown, there is evidence of environmental damage.

The efficacy of GM crops is also questionable.  When weeds become resistant to the same herbicide as the GM crop, it is next to useless.  Yields are also hotly disputed.

There is worldwide consumer reaction; even in the US, 92% want GM food labelled and ontly 25% think GM food is safe.

This is because genetic modification is not just a simple advance in crop breeding.  It is the random insertion of a gene from a separate organism, generally a virus, into plant DNA, which we do not fully understand.  This is not precise;  it is crude science.

 

Stephanie Cave writes (pp 242-3 in citation below)

“Researchers with the Children’s Vaccine Initiative (CVI), an organization composed of private and government groups from around the world, are developing a genetically engineered “supervaccine” which they hope to give to all children orally at birth.  This supervaccine, nicknamed the “Holy Grail” by the CDC and the CVI, reportedly will contain the DNA from more than twenty viruses, parasites, and bacteria that cause (sic) various childhood diseases.  The DNA will enter the cells of infants, and over a period of several months, the vaccine will be released.

The scheduled ‘recipe” for the supervaccine includes 3 viruses for pneumonia, 2 for HIV, 4 for dengue fever, several viruses and bacteria for diarrheal diseases, 2 for malaria, 6 viruses or bacterialfor  meningitis, 3 for polio, and 1 each for diphtheria, hepatitis, measles, schistosomiasis, TB, typhoid fever, and pertussis.  When will this recipe be served up?  No one knows.”

(this is before 2001)

 

Cocktails of GM vaccines (some mixed with wild antigens) are now being served up to babies in various combinations—e.g., the new 5 in 1 vaccine.  Ask your doctor about this.  Beware!  There is no law in SA or elsewhere that requires GMV labeling and it is exceedingly difficult to find out what you’re getting.

 

 

Vaccination—My Experience

 

Breast is Best—Even Essential

 

Wean Children onto Whole Organic Foods

 

Never Vaccinate Babies or Toddlers—Build Immunity Instead

 

When Needed and at School Time Use Homeopathic Alternatives

 

Risk a Natural Life for Yourself and Your Children—Raise FreeRange Kids!

 

My Reasoning: 

Babies are always putting fingers and things into their mouths and eyes and other places.  In a reasonably clean and natural environment they are encountering exceedingly small doses of thousands of different antigens every day.  This is the natural way of things.  It’s building immunity gradually without massive singular threats.  Should they occur, breastfeeding covers the baby’s deficiency of antibodies in the first few months better than any vaccine.  It also helps cover vaccinated babies.  Vaccination is infection!

If and when an unlucky baby gets a massive dose of singular antigens, either from the wild or from a vaccine, then things can go wrong.  Too much, too concentrated, too young, all at once.

There is no doubt that some babies respond to vaccine insults with massive inflammation and encephalitis, just as they might if confronting a nasty wild bug.  Some even die. 

 

The UK Department of Health Report March 2006

Eighteen babies and toddlers have died in the UK in four years after having vaccinations.  The deaths were linked to four of the seven jabs given before the age of 2, including the MMR triple vaccine, the Dept. of Health said.  About 800 other youngsters suffered severe side-effects after routine inoculations.  The figures will increase fears that the jabs overload babies’ immune systems.

 

This report is based on official records and is likely to underestimate the true figures.  But if these UK data were typical of the world, then we would have expected 5,000 deaths and over 1,000,000 vaccine damaged kids since 1960.  Tip of the iceberg?  Like myself, most practitioners would answer ‘yes.’

That mass vaccination continues unabated in the face of deaths and disability, however few or many, completely throws out the first principle of medicine—‘first do no harm!’   Instead, we have medicine accepting the principle of ‘acceptable collateral damge.’  Is this the way to motivate good research and good medicine?

 

The problem deepens when you bring in the majority of those children who react to vaccines more slowly, in more subtle ways, and who don’t get diagnosed properly.  Now we’re talking 10’s of millions of children worldwide.  Most doctors who see kids with these subtle and varied reactions are baffled.  Knowing little or nothing about vaccine research, the doctor can only note the package of symptoms and attempt a diagnosis.  He or she will have over 200 newly defined childhood illnesses (since 1985) to choose from.  Some doctors will admit the real and present danger, but simply accept ‘collateral damage’ as part of the business of modern medicine.   A brave few others will admit the problem and then try to do something about it, like those quoted above.

 

Vaccine damage links to autism and polio are clear enough.  Even the industry admits that much and is trying to get mercury out of vaccines, questioning the oral polio and the triple vaccines, and just about giving up on ineffective pertussis and measles. 

But the whole range of suspected vaccine reactions—the subtle developmental, behavioural and learning disorders that follow vaccination—need to be taken seriously and not defined away or ignored.  This is a massive public health issue that has been ignored far too long—and at what cost! 

 

The advent of GM vaccines takes this whole question to another level—that of direct gene manipulation with all its intended and unintended consequences for the individual and the entire ecosystem. 

GMV’s attempt to provoke our own genes into making clones of infective antigens on a continuous long-term basis.  The aim is to keep our immune systems primed for action at all times.  We will be kept in a self-made state of immune system arousal as if we were exposed to the wild thing every day.  We will be constantly under attack from within rather than responding to external natural antigens, with which we’ve evolved, at appropriate stages of life.

 

The whole GM vaccine effort is profoundly misguided and extremely dangerous.

The technology for manipulating DNA accurately isn’t there. 

The knowledge of how to assess systemic and ecological effects isn’t there.

And yet the band plays on. 

This has become the holy grail of the biotech/drugs companies. 

To accept collateral damage is to throw out the ‘precautionary principle’ that should govern medicine.

 

Living in this mobile antigenic world is risky enough; we shouldn’t be intervening in any way to increase that risk without incontestable evidence of long-term efficacy and safety.  At the moment, vaccines and vaccine research just don’t measure up. 

 

The whole vaccination program may well turn out to be the biggest medical fiasco of all time. 

And that’s saying something!
