Vaccination: What We Know and What We Don’t Know

There has been a great deal of fear-based commentary in the newspapers, radio, and TV, as of late.

In this article, we hope to provide you with some facts, statistics, and truths that will reduce any fears and help to answer some of your questions and concerns. Rather than making hasty fear-based decisions, you will have a greater scope of information and understanding of the immune system and vaccine response.

The History of Diseases before the Introduction of Vaccines

In the above chart, we can see that diseases were on the decline when vaccines were introduced. After a blip on the screen that indicates a spike in the disease, due to vaccines, the decline of the disease continues on the same trajectory it was on anyway. Measles mortality rates had plummeted to almost nil prior to the wide-spread use of measles vaccines. Was the decline caused by the introduction of the vaccines? We don’t know because no one has asked. So was it the vaccine that was the great saviour, all on its own?

We do know that, many years ago, doctors would go from patient to patient without washing their hands which for a period of time did increase the spread of disease. Could it be that personal sanitation and hygiene such as hand washing, water filtration systems, sewage treatment, better farming practices, and, therefore, better nutrition, roads built to villages, allowing more access to medical treatment … all played a role in these diseases waning?  We don’t know, because no one has asked.

Publicly Funded Immunization Schedules for Ontario – March 2015

What we do know:

Testing Procedures: For Safety/Efficacy

• Are done by the very pharmaceutical company that stands to make $billions of profit on any one vaccine.
• The “control group”, sometimes receives saline, sometimes other ingredients.
• The group being monitored is vaccinated with the vaccine being studied; often it is just the antigen being injected and not the full vaccine
• Different vaccines contain different ingredients including lab altered live or inactivated viruses and bacteria, chemicals, aluminum, mercury, polysorbate 80,  proteins, antibiotics, human, animal and insect DNA and RNA and many other ingredients. Learn more at http://www.nvic.org
• They are followed only for 14-21 days for the purpose of the study and then no longer.
• If the outcome of the newly vaccinated group is similar to the … vaccinated group, then the vaccine is deemed safe.
• For efficacy, an antibody response is monitored; if antibodies increase then the vaccine is deemed successful.

However

• Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier that is found in many drugs and vaccines. Polysorbate will cross the blood brain barrier (a prolific network of blood vessels and cells that filter the blood going into the brain) taking what is attached to it into the brain and through any cell membrane thus interfering with the mitochondrial function. This means that heavy metals, such as aluminum and mercury, along with the virus and other ingredients have a free ride into your brain.
• When these ingredients enter into the brain, they cause a great deal of inflammation and toxic damage to the brain tissues and nervous system
• No long term studies are done to evaluate the combined effects of multiple vaccines and our ever increasing vaccine program.
• There is no North American study evaluating the health outcomes of vaccinated children vs unvaccinated children.
• There are no studies to look at the effects some of the vaccine ingredients might have on an immature immune system, on their own or in combination with the others.
• There is no study on the toxic ingredients, alone or in combination, to see their bio accumulative effect on the subjects.
• There is no information on the transgenerational toxins that may be handed down from grandmother to mother to child; the epigenetics that is unique to each child
• Vaccines do not eliminate the organism from existence
• And, often, a vaccination is given as one of several; does this make a difference?  We don’t know because no one has asked.

What we do know:

• In 2012, 1 in 88 children in the US were diagnosed with autism
• In 2013, 1 in 50 with boys being 4X more likely
• 1 in 6 children has some form of neuro developmental delay
• 9.5% of children have ADHD
• 9.3% of children have Asthma
• 9% of children have hay fever, 12% suffer with skin allergy, 6% have allergies to foods, 11% suffer with respiratory allergies
• Type 2 diabetes is on the rise and 1 in 1,000 children have arthritis
• There has also been a steady increase in the diagnosis of neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s, Dementia, MS, ALS and non diagnosable conditions) in adults. Is this connected to the yearly flu vaccines?

So Is It Possible That Vaccines May Contribute to This Exponential Surge in Chronic Illness in Our Children and Adult populations?

What we do know:

The Tetanus vaccine has bovine casein (milk protein)

Many other vaccines include bovine serum

Some vaccines are cultured on aborted chick embryos (egg protein) and human fetal material.

Prevnar contains soy protein

Since 1960 peanut oil has been included in many vaccines

HiB vaccine has peanut meal in it and other vaccines contain peanut oil

What’s interesting here is that these substances are injected directly into the immature body, bypassing the different levels of a normal immune response.  When they enter the blood stream the immune system may see them as “non-self” and attack. When the subject then ingests these ingredients in their natural form the immune system sees them as “non-self” and mounts an immune response. And what are our top allergies? Top allergies are milk, dairy, eggs, soy and peanuts.

Informed Consent

Informed infers that up to date information is being given to the patient (or parent) regarding the benefits and risks of the medical procedure. But the package insert, according to greenmedinfo.com, has a scientific publication with an average publication date of … 1982 (that’s 33 years old!!!) with some that were much older than that. So a call from parents for more relevant science seems to be completely reasonable request.

In this 30 year period, Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System reports there have been 6,962 serious adverse events, with over half of them occurring in children 3 years old or younger. Of those events, 329 were deaths, again with over half occurring in children under 3 years old. The adverse events included:  lupus, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, deafness, cardiomyopathy, hypotonic-hypo responsive episodes, convulsions, sub acute sclerosing pan encephalitis, ataxia, parathesia, pneumonia, erythema multiforme, urticarial rash, measles-like rash, nerve deafness, otitis media, retinitis, optic neuritis and conjunctivitis.

Merck Pharmaceutical also warns about viral shedding of live vaccines. Shedding is when the live virus that is injected via vaccine, moves through the human body and comes back out in the feces, droplets from the nose, or saliva from the mouth. Anyone who takes care of the child could potentially contract the virus for some time after that child has received certain live vaccines. This was a huge problem with the oral polio vaccine, and was one of the reasons why it was taken off the market in the US however it is still used in developing countries.  This shedding of measles from the measles vaccine (MMR is a live vaccine) just happened recently in the USA where it was determined that the outbreak of measles was due to recently vaccinated children.

As of March 1, 2012, there have been 898 claims awarded compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for 56 deaths and 842 injuries.  Unfortunately many injuries are never connected with a vaccination and are not reported. One example is Madyson Williams, growing and developing normally until her MMR, varicella zoster and Hib vaccines, given simultaneously.  She developed seizures and died 6 days later according to records obtained by the National Vaccine Information Center.

NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT OF 1986: Under the federal vaccine injury compensation program (VICP), more than $2.5 billon has been paid to vaccine injured individuals, as well as to families, whose children have died after vaccination in the U.S.

Are parents informed that the MMR-II and the MMRV are both grown on aborted fetal tissue?  Are there not some faiths and philosophies that would find this NOT acceptable?  Injection of human biologics can carry a risk of viral contamination (as in the SV40 in the polio vaccine and the ERV infection and DNA insertion that could penetrate the host (your child).  And why, in 2008, did Merck stop production of single vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella and begin to offer only the combination MMR?

The immune, glandular, organ and psychological systems are incomplete at birth. The maturation process of each system develops in a specific step by step manner and requires time and exposure for this process to take place over a 25 year period. Non-specific or natural immunity starts to develop at 3 months old, a learning process until 7 years old. After seven years of age the immune system starts to develop Specific/Antibody Immunity.

In 1992, the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) conducted a survey to examine the health of New Zealand’s children. Unsurprisingly, the results of their study indicated that unvaccinated children were far healthier than vaccinated children. Read more http://vactruth.com/2014/02/26/unvaccinated-children-healthier/
