Title: A Second Look At Vaccinations: The Risks and Dangers
1A Second Look At VaccinationsThe Risks and
Dangers
A Special Report
- Young Living Grand Convention, June 18-21, 2002
2 A Second Look at Vaccinations The Risks and
Dangers A Special Report There are four major
concerns that must be addressed regarding the
mandated inoculations America's children receive
1. Inoculation does not guarantee immunity 2.
Informed consent 3. Vaccine contamination
causes death and neurological damage 4.
Conflict of interest in the vaccine bureaucracy
1. Inoculation does not guarantee immunity
A. There are a number of studies that show
childhood diseases are becoming a "disease of
immunized persons."1 Many epidemics have followed
the introduction of vaccines. The Philippines had
the worst smallpox epidemic ever in the early
1900s even after a vaccination rate of 95
percent.2 In 1986, 90 percent of the pertussis
cases in Kansas were "adequately vaccinated."3
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported a
measles outbreak in a documented 100 percent
vaccinated population.4 George Bernard Shaw
said, "During the last considerable epidemic at
the turn of the century 1900, I was a member of
the Health Committee of London Borough Council,
and I learned how the credit of vaccination is
kept statistically by diagnosing all the
revaccinated cases of smallpox as pustular
eczema, varioloid or what notexcept smallpox."5
B. The tuberculosis vaccine has been shown to
have no efficacy against adult TB the U.S.
doesn't vaccinate and in 1999 had 6.4
tuberculosis cases per 100,000. Russia vaccinates
for TB but its rate of infection was 85 cases per
100,000. Today it is even higher, states the
author of Timebomb The Global Epidemic of
Multi-Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis.6 C.
Numerous studies show that disease rates were
already falling before the introduction of
vaccines. Better nutrition and sanitation are
responsible for disease elimination. Even the
World Health Organization (WHO) has stated "The
best vaccine against common infectious diseases
is an adequate diet."
32. Regarding informed consent A. Parents are
not aware that so many children sickened and died
each year following vaccination that vaccine
manufacturers threatened to halt production.
Vaccine manufacturers were facing an onslaught of
DPT vaccine wrongful death suits so the
government took responsibility for adverse
events. In 1986 Congress instituted the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, indemnifying
vaccine manufacturers and transferring all
vaccine claims to the U.S. Court of Claims.
According to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System), more than 1.2 billion has
been paid out. B. A researcher writes that the
Federal government's VAERS reporting system
"receives about 11,000 reports of serious adverse
reactions to vaccinations annually, which include
as many as two hundred deaths, and several times
that number of permanent disabilities." These
figures represent just the tip of the iceberg,
however. FDA statistics note that less than 10
percent of adverse events are actually reported
even though mandated by law. C. Parents are
also not told that it is their right to refuse
vaccination based on philosophical or religious
reasons. Nor are they told that in 1998 the
Minister of Health in France suspended the
Hepatitis B vaccine requirement for public school
children. This followed troubling reports of
autoimmune and neurological disorders after
vaccination (as well as a lawsuit representing
15,000 French citizens who accused the government
of understating the vaccine's risks and
overstating its benefits). D. Why are
hours-old infants being immunized against
Hepatitis B when this disease infects intravenous
drug users, homosexuals, prostitutes, and
promiscuous heterosexuals? Pregnant women are
screened for this disease before delivery and the
children of infected mothers should be the only
babies needing this vaccination. Why are innocent
and pure infants unwittingly forced to risk their
health because of an epidemic of disease caused
by lifestyle choices made by consenting adults?
Why is it that parents are never warned of the
dangers of this particular vaccination? E.
Studies show that children died at a rate eight
times greater than normal "within three days of
getting a DPT shot. Medical historian Harris
Coulter, Ph.D., estimates that two-thirds of the
10,000 cases of crib death are vaccine related.
It is known that when Japan moved the vaccination
age to 2 years old in 1975, crib death and
infantile convulsions virtually disappeared.
F. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) maintain a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting
System (VAERS) but the FDA acknowledges that more
than 90 of adverse events are not reported.7 In
1986, Congress
4indemnified vaccine manufacturers from liability
which has cost U.S. taxpayers more than 1.2
billion to date. Each death "payoff' has been
limited to 250,000. VAERS data from January
1,1990 to November 1, 2001 show that ?
Following the DTP shot 807 children died. ?
Following the DTaP shot 364 children died
(acellular pertussis was adopted because of high
reactions to live cell). ? Following the
hepatitis B shot 679 children died. ?
Following the haemophilus B shot 932 children
died. ? Following the poliovirus live oral
vaccine 970 children died. In 1996 only 54
cases of hepatitis B were reported in the 0-1 age
group. There were 3.9 million births that year,
so the observed incidence of hepatitis B in the
0-1 age group was just 0.001 . VAERS received
1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from
hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 in that same age
group including 47 deaths. The hepatitis B
vaccine actually caused more illness than the
disease by a 20 to 1 ratio. 3. Vaccine
contamination A. One of the largest vaccine
manufacturers was cited for failing to assure
sterility in producing chickenpox, measles,
mumps, rubella, and hepatitis A vaccines. A
Freedom of Information Act request secured a copy
of the report in which violations filled 23
pages. The Wall Street Journal quoted
immunization chief for the Centers for Disease
Control as saying that pediatricians have run out
of vaccines largely because of "manufacturing
snafus" at Merck Co. No mention was made of
the fact that FDA violations halted production.
The report regarding the closure could not be
found by searching the FDA's website. A telephone
inquiry to the FDA resulted in disclosure and
then the report was obtained by the Freedom of
Information Act. Â B. On January 24, 2002 the
U.S. government convened a 21-member advisory
committee to investigate Gulf War Illness. The
New York Times reported that veterans of the war
were nearly twice as likely as other soldiers to
suffer the fatal neurological illness known as
Lou Gehrig's disease. Some researchers think
inoculations of experimental vaccines
5are to blame. Because of a high number of
dangerous reactions, over 400 service men and
women have opted for forced retirement rather
than take the anthrax vaccine. C. The anthrax
vaccine currently in use in America was developed
for the less-fatal cutaneous (skin) anthrax. Its
efficacy against inhaled anthrax has never been
demonstrated. The vaccine was prepared using the
garden-variety anthrax commonly found around
livestock. Biowarfare anthrax will have been
genetically modified. The New York Times authors
of Germs Biological Weapons and America's Secret
War write that "It takes 18 months to develop a
weapons-grade agent and ten years to develop a
good vaccine against it." D. Vaccine
manufacturers have failed to produce
peer-reviewed, published safety studies on
childhood vaccines. Michael Belkin, father of an
infant that died following a hepatitis B shot
questioned this vaccine's safety as he asked,
"Why do the CDC, ACIP (the committee that decides
which vaccines are mandated) and Merck say that
there are 140,000-320,000 new infections a year
(70,000-160,000 symptomatic infections a year)
when their own CDC data show only 10,000 reported
cases a year? They are passing off estimated
hypothetical numbers as actual cases. This is
statistical fraud." E. Thimerosal, which is
49.6 percent mercury, was first marketed in 1930
and can still be found in some vaccines as a
preservative. As thimerosal began to be used
throughout the United States there was an
unexpected rise in "adverse events." Toward the
end of the '30s, child psychiatrist Leo Kanner
identified a new kind of mental illness autism.
Autism and mercury poisoning have extremely
similar symptoms. Â At a San Diego research
meeting on autism, Dr. Stephanie Cave presented
the following information "By the age of two,
American children have received 237 micrograms of
mercury through vaccines alone, which far
exceeds current EPA 'safe' levels of 0.1 mcg/kg.
per day. That's one-tenth of a microgram, not one
microgram. Â "Three days in particular may be
singled out as spectacularly toxic for infants
"Day of birth hepatitis B12 mcg mercury (30
times safe level). Â "At 4 months DTaP and HiB
on same day50 mcg mercury (60 times safe level).
6 "At 6 months Hep B, Polio62.5 mcg mercury (78
times safe level). Â "At 15 months the child
received another 50 mcg (41 times safe level).
"These figures are calculated for an infant's
average weight in kilograms for each age. These
one-day blasts of mercury are called 'bolus
doses.' Although they far exceed 'safe' levels,
there has never been any research conducted on
the toxicity of such bolus doses of mercury given
to infants all these years."8 A press release
about the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
mercury-reduction program (April 26, 2001) noted
"Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. . . . Infants
and young children are also very vulnerable to
the impacts of mercury because it can affect
their developing brains." And yet we continue to
inject bolus doses of mercury directly into tiny
infants with many childhood vaccines. Â In the
opening statement of Congressman Dan Burton
(R-IN), Chairman of the Government Reform
Committee hearing "Mercury in Medicine-Are We
Taking Unnecessary Risks? July 18, 2000,
Washington, D.C., Representative Burton said
"On July 9, 1999, the American
Academy of Pediatrics and the United States
Public Health Service issued a joint statement
recommending the removal of thimerosal from
vaccines. On May 31, 2000, the Food and Drug
Administration notified vaccine manufacturers
that its review of mercury compounds in drugs and
foods concluded that reducing or eliminating
thimerosal from vaccines is merited. However,
there has been no mandatory action. These
vaccines are still in use." A number of
studies have shown a link between the excessive
mercury exposure due to vaccines and rising rates
of autism in children (a report issued by the
California Health and Human Services Agency
revealed a 273 percent increase in California
children diagnosed with autism in the past
decade). One study noted "A review of medical
literature and US government data suggests that
(i) many cases of idiopathic autism are induced
by early mercury exposure from thimerosal (ii)
this type of autism represents an unrecognized
mercurial syndrome and (iii) genetic and
non-genetic factors establish a predisposition
whereby thimerosal's adverse effects occur only
in some children."9 Another study reported
"Because mercury is known to be a potential
neurotoxin to infants, further study of its
pharmacodynamics is warranted."
7 An article in the Sunday Times in London on May
27, 2001 observed, "Mercury in vaccines for
babies and infants could be the cause of autism
in children around the world, according to a
growing number of scientists. . ." The National
Autistic Society estimates that there are about
500,000 people with autism in Britain, 120,000 of
them children. According to one recent study,
there has been a tenfold increase of autism
among children between 1984 and 1994. F. If
mercury were the only contaminant in vaccines, we
could consider ourselves lucky. Dr. Joseph
Mercola listed some vaccine ingredients parents
are probably unaware of. A major component of all
vaccines is a cell culture. Human diploid cells
(which come from aborted fetal tissue) have been
used in the following vaccines MMR, chickenpox,
poliomyelitis (although not all manufacturers use
human cells), rabies, and hepatitis A. If human
tissues are not used, then one or more of the
following are used pig and horse blood, rabbit
brain, porcine (pig) pancreatic hydrolysate of
casein, dog kidney, monkey kidney, chick embryo,
chicken and duck eggs, and calf (bovine) serum.
The use of monkey cell lines in the
manufacturing of polio vaccines is having
terrifying consequences 50 years later. Sixty
different laboratories have confirmed that SV40
(simian virus 40) has been found in human cancer
tumors. Dr. Mercola writes "Some researchers
contend that SV40 was transmitted to humans
through the polio vaccine, which has saved many
lives. The vaccine is made in monkey kidney
cells, and from 1955 to 1963 an estimated 20
million Americans were given doses contaminated
with SV40." In 1961, the Food and Drug
Administration ordered all vaccine manufacturers
to screen out the SV40. One study suggests that
Lederle did not do so.10 Vaccines use aluminum
hydroxide and aluminum phosphate as "adjuvants"
which are believed to improve the immune
response. Aluminum is a known toxin that can
cause encephalitis, bone disease, and anemia in
susceptible people. It is also implicated in
Alzheimer's disease. Formaldehyde and
phenoxyethanol (also known as antifreeze) can
also be found in many vaccines. The toxicity of
these chemicals has been long established. 4.
Conflict of interest between vaccine industry and
government regulators In the United States the
FDA licenses vaccines and recommendations about
immunizations are dictated by the Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The
members of this committee are appointed by the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC). ACIP
recommendations are enacted into law by public
health departments and/or state legislatures,
often after extensive lobbying by vaccine
manufacturing sales representatives.
8 In 1991 the National Vaccine Information Center
requested the removal of two of the five members
of ACIP, who were prominent physicians, Dr.
Edward Mortimer of Case Western University, and
Dr. James Cherry of UCLA. These two men were
shown to have accepted more than 800,000 in
expert witness fees, consulting fees, and
research grants from DPT vaccine manufacturers.
No action was taken. The September 2, 2000
issue of The Lancet, reported "U.S. government
officials are failing to enforce conflict of
interest regulations and are allowing experts
with industry ties to sit on vaccine approval
panels, charges a U.S. government report." The
report was prepared by the House Committee on
Government Reforms which stated that members of
committees that make recommendations to the FDA
and CDC (the Vaccines and Related Biological
Products Advisory Committee and the Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices) "owned stock
in the companies producing similar vaccines
others had received honoraria and grants from
companies and institutions that stood to gain
should the vaccine be approved and several
worked for institutions that had financial ties
to companies with interests in the decision."
These conflict of interest violations have had
tragic consequences. The rotavirus vaccine was
licensed in the USA on August 31, 1998, and
placed on the vaccination schedule. In July 1999,
it was suspended and on October 22, 1999, its
approval was revoked. More than 100 infants
developed a serious and potentially fatal bowel
blockage called intussusception. Congressman
Dan Burtons hearing on Conflicts of Interest
and Vaccine Development reported that 1.
Members, including the Chair, of the FDA and CDC
advisory committees who make these decisions own
stock in drug companies that make vaccines. 2.
Individuals on both advisory committees own
patents for vaccines under consideration or
affected by the decisions of the committee. 3.
Three out of five of the members of the FDA's
advisory committee who voted for the rotavirus
vaccine had conflicts of interest that were
waived. 4. Seven individuals of the 15-member
FDA advisory committee were not present at the
meeting, two others were excluded from the vote,
and the remaining five were joined by five
temporary voting members who all voted to license
the product.
9 5. The CDC grants conflict-of-interest waivers
to every member of their advisory committee a
year at a time, and allows full participation in
the discussions leading up to a vote by every
member, whether they have a financial stake in
the decision or not. 6. The CDC's advisory
committee has no public membersno parents have a
vote in whether or not a vaccine belongs on the
childhood immunization schedule. The FDA's
committee has only one public member.
Congressman Burton noted that Dr. Harry
Greenberg, who serves as chair of the FDA
committee was excluded from the vote on the
rotavirus vaccine since he owns the patent on the
vaccine. It was noted that Dr. Greenberg owns
120,000 of stock in Avrion, a vaccine
manufacturer. He is also a paid member of the
board of advisors of Chiron, another vaccine
manufacturer and owns 40,000 of its stock. Are
Children "Captive Consumers" of the Powerful
Vaccine Industry? The total commitment of the
American medical community to vaccination is the
result of misplaced, blind faith and devotion to
financial rewards. There is a very real
possibility that true scientific inquiry has been
overwhelmed by a monolithic profit structure now
controlling vaccine policy in the United States.
President Eisenhower warned many years ago
about the "military-industrial complex." It seems
the medical-industrial complex may be even more
dangerous. In The Medical Time Bomb of
Immunization Against Disease by Robert S.
Mendelssohn, MD, he writes "There is a growing
suspicion that immunization against relatively
harmless childhood diseases may be responsible
for the dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases
since mass inoculations were introduced. These
are fearful diseases such as cancer, leukemia,
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Lou
Gehrig's disease, lupus erythematosus, and the
Guillain-Barre syndrome. An autoimmune disease
can be explained simply as one in which the
body's defense mechanisms cannot distinguish
between foreign invaders and ordinary body
tissues, with the consequences that the body
begins to destroy itself. Have we traded mumps
and measles for cancer and leukemia?"

11VaccinationDoes Not Guarantee Immunization
12Vaccinate or Immunize?
- Immunize isnt used much now regarding vaccines
because they dont guarantee immunity. - The Journal of the American Medical Association
(JAMA) reported Whooping cough caused by
Bordetella pertussis B and parapertussis occurs
frequently even in populations with high
immunization rates.
13Vaccinate or Immunize?
- In the early 1900s, the Philippines had the worst
smallpox epidemic ever after a vaccination rate
of 95. - In 1989, the country of Oman experienced a
widespread polio outbreak six months after
achieving a complete vaccination rate.
14Vaccinate or Immunize?
- Japan had yearly increases in smallpox following
the introduction of compulsory vaccines in 1872.
Ten years later, there were 165,774 cases with
29,979 deaths and all had been vaccinated. - During the same time, Australia had no compulsory
vaccine laws and recorded only 3 deaths from
smallpox over 15 years.
15Vaccinate or Immunize?
- The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported a
measles outbreak in a documented 100 vaccinated
population. - In 1986, 90 of 1,300 pertussis cases in Kansas
were adequately vaccinated. - In Chicago, 72 of pertussis cases were
up-to-date with their vaccinations.
16Vaccinate or Immunize?
- In 1982, Maryland health officials blamed a
pertussis epidemic on parents fears of the
dangers of DPT vaccine but when former top
virologist for the U.S. Division of Biological
Standards, Dr. J. Anthony Morris, analyzed the 41
cases, he confirmed only 5, and all had been
vaccinated.
17Vaccinate or Immunize?
- Before Englands first compulsory vaccination law
in 1853, the largest two-year smallpox death rate
was about 2,000 in 1870-71, England and Wales
had over 23,000 smallpox deaths. - Dispelling Vaccination Myths by Alan Phillips,
Director of Citizens for Healthcare Freedom
18Vaccinate or Immunize?
- The apparent paradox is that as measles
immunization rates rise to high levels in a
population, measles becomes a disease of
immunized persons. - Failure to reach the goal of measles
elimination. Apparent paradox of measles
infections in immunized persons. Mayo Vaccine
Research Group, Archives of Int. Medicine

19Nursing Home Residents Get Flu Despite Flu Shot
- A flu outbreak in Nebraskas urban area killed
one nursing home resident - Nearly all of the residents received flu shots
- A similar outbreak at the Grand Island Veterans
Home occurred although 98 of the residents were
given flu shots - Midwest Nurse Week, Vol. 3, No. 2 March/April
2002, p.27
20Alzheimers and Flu Vaccinations
- According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD (the worlds
leading immunogeneticist, author of nearly 850
papers in peer-reviewed journals) Individuals
who have had five consecutive flu shots between
1970 and 1980 (years studied) have a ten times
higher chance of getting Alzheimers disease than
if they had one, two or no shots.
21Alzheimers and Flu Vaccinations (Continued)
- When asked why, Dr. Fudenberg said it was due to
the mercury and aluminum in every flu shot. The
gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain
causes cognitive dysfunction. - Johns Hopkins Newsletter Nov. 1998 stated
Alzheimers incidence would quadruple in coming
years. Could flu shots be one reason?

25Parents Should Be Informed of Vaccine Risks
26Informed Consent
- Parents have the right to refuse vaccination
based on their philosophical and/or religious
views. - Most parents are not aware that Congress
instituted the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, indemnifying vaccine
manufacturers and transferring all vaccine claims
to the U.S. Court of Claims. - The last figures released show that VAERS
(Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) has paid
out more than 1.2 billion to the parents of
children damaged or killed by vaccines.

31Crib Death or Vaccine Death?
- Viera Schreibner, PhD and Leif Karlsson, a
biomedical electronics engineer, developed a
breathing monitor for babies at risk for crib
death. - The surprising findings We found that the
babies breathing was affected in a certain
characteristic manner and over a long period of
time following DPT injections. - There was a significant and clear clustering of
these crib deaths around the time of
vaccination.
32Crib Death or Vaccine Death?
- Medical historian, Harris Coulter, PhD, estimates
that two-thirds of the 10,000 cases of crib death
are vaccine-related. - When Japan moved the vaccination age to 2 years
old in 1975, crib death and infantile convulsions
virtually disappeared. - Cherry, et al., Pediatrics Supplement, p. 973,
1988
33Crib Death or Vaccine Death?
- Studies show that children die at a rate eight
times greater than normal within three days of
getting a DPT shot. - JM Fine, LC Chen Confounding in studies of

36Deadly Neurotoxin Mercury Is Still Found in Many
Vaccines Including the Flu Vaccine
37Who is telling the TRUTH?
- U.S. Public Health Service NO HARM
- There are no data or evidence of any harm caused
by the level of exposure that some children may
have encountered in following the existing
immunization schedule. Infants and children who
have received thimerosal-containing vaccines do
not need to be tested for mercury exposure. - Joint Statement of the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) and the United States Public
Health Service (USPHS), Sept. 1999.
38Who is telling the TRUTH?
- National Institutes of Health BEWARE OF MERCURY!
- Mercury is a potent neurotoxin . . . Infants and
young children are also very vulnerable to the
impacts of mercury because it can affect their
developing brains. - National Institutes of Health April 26, 2001.
39Mercury Horse Drug Recalled by The FDA
- Drug contains mercury poisonous to horses and
people - Purchasers should not use it
- Contact local waste-management authorities to
learn how to destroy it without endangering
animals, people, or waterways - The Salt Lake Tribune, June 1, 2002
- The FDA Protects Horses from Mercury
- Why Dont They Recall Mercury-Containing
Vaccines?
40Mercury Poisoning
- By the age of two, American children have
received 237 micrograms of mercury through
vaccines. - This far exceeds the EPA safe levels of 0.1
mcg/kg per day. Thats one-tenth of a microgram,
not one microgram.
41Mercury Poisoning
- Four days in particular may be singled out as
spectacularly toxic for infants - 1. Day of birth Hepatitis B12 mcg mercury (30
times safe level). - 2. Four months DTaP and Hib on same day50 mcg
mercury (60 times safe level). - 3. Six months Hepatitis B, Polio62.5 mcg
mercury (78 times safe level). - 4. Fifteen months another 50 mcg (41 times safe
level.
42Mercury Poisoning
- These figures are calculated for an infants
average weight in kilograms for each age. These
one-day blasts of mercury are called bolus
doses. There has never been any research
conducted on the toxicity of such doses. - Dr. Stephanie Cave
43Confidential Report
- On October 17, 2001 the law firm of Waters
Kraus revealed a confidential report by the
Centers for Disease Control which studied autism
as a neurological injury caused by mercury in
vaccines.
44Confidential Report
- The CDC report stated
- We found increasing risks of neurological
developmental disorder. - Disorders noted were
- Developmental Speech Disorder
- Autism
- Stuttering
- Attention Deficit Disorder
45Confidential Report
- The study found a 2.48 times increased risk of
autism. - Children with mercury exposure were more than
twice as likely to develop autism as children not
exposed.
46Confidential Report
- U.S. law states that
- In a vaccine injury case, a relative risk
greater than 2.0 establishes that there is a
greater than 50 chance that the injury was
caused by the vaccine. - New Yorkers for Vaccination Information and
Choice, press release by Waters Kraus, Dallas,
Texas
47Altered Report
- A different version was made public and claimed
results were inconclusive as to whether the
mercury in vaccines has caused a nationwide
epidemic of regressive autism and other
neurological disorders in small children.
485 Drug Makers Use Material with Possible Mad Cow
Link
- The FDA has repeatedly asked pharmaceutical
companies not to use materials from cows raised
in countries at risk of Mad Cow Disease. - Five companies making nine vaccines, some given
to millions of American children, used at-risk
bovine materialbut the FDA didnt discover this
for seven years.

the 1950s and 60s. - Dozens of studies have shown SV40 in rare brain,
bone, and lung tumors. - Worse, this virus has been found in people who
never received the contaminated vaccine.
Researchers believe that those infected by the
vaccine may be spreading the virus. - No government studies planned Its not our
highest priority. - Rogue virus in the vaccine Early polio vaccine

55Hepatitis B Vaccine Adverse Reactions
- Associated with prevalent arthritis
- Acute ear infections
- Pharyngitis/nasopharyngitis (throat and nasal
infections) - Evidence from this study suggests that hepatitis
B vaccine is positively associated with adverse
health outcomes in the general population of US
children. - Ann Epidemiol 2001 Jan11(1)13-21
56Autism
- Autism impairs the two things that make us human
language and bonding patterns. - Is the huge increase in autism a result of better
reporting? - Dr. Candace Pert states
- Better diagnosis might account for a 30 or 50
increase. But were talking about 500 to 600
increases... compared to a baseline of ten years
ago.
57Autism
- Dr. Pert says autism has a new form Regressive
Autism where children seem totally fine and then
regress at a year and a half old. This is just
around the time they get the vaccines. Many
mothers believe that its the vaccines. - The key is that the brain is still developing at
18 months, and the parts that are developing are
language and eye contact, the very things that
become deranged in autism. - Interviewed by Daniel Redwood, D.C. in Healthy
Net June 24, 2000
58DTP Vaccines
- In a study published in Pediatrics, Randolph
Byers and Frederick Moll, of Harvard Medical
School along with the FDA, tests at Childrens
Hospital in Boston showed that severe
neurological problems could follow the
administration of DTP vaccines. -

59DTP Vaccines (2)
- According to the Assistant Secretary of Health,
Edward Grant, Jr. before a U.S. Senate Committee
on May 3,1985 - Every year 35,000 children suffer neurological
damage related to the DTP vaccine. -

60DTP Vaccines (3)
- In 1992, the Institute of Medicine concluded
- The evidence is consistent with a causal
relation between DPT vaccine and acute
encephalopathy . . . between the pertussis
component of DPT and protracted, inconsolable
crying. - Autism An Overview by Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D.,

61The Rest of the 1796 Smallpox Story They Dont
Tell You
- James Phipps, the 8-year-old vaccinated by
William Jenner, was revaccinated 20 times. He
died at age 20. - Jenners own son, who was also vaccinated more
than once, died at 21. -

62The Model States Emergency Health Powers Act
- Forces you to be vaccinated for smallpox even if
it kills you. - Gives non-medical authorities the power to
arrest, quarantine, and forcibly vaccinate. - Allows homes to be confiscated without
compensation if labeled infectious by state
authorities.
63At a Chicago CDC Meeting(June 8, 2002) official
admitted
- Smallpox is not explosively contagious.
- The virus is not spread through food or water.
- Contact face-to-face for more than 7 days is
required for transmission. - There is no carrier state only contagious after
blisters develop. - The 30 fatality rate mostly occurred in
Bangladesh and Central Africa and is based on old
data. - The deaths occurred from potentially treatable
complications, not from the disease itself.
64Conflict of Interest in Vaccine and Government
Bureaucracies
65Congressional Hearings Revealed
- Members of the FDA and CDC advisory committees
who approve new vaccines also own stock in the
drug companies that make the vaccines. - These members also own patents for vaccines under
consideration. - Three out of five members of the FDAs advisory
committee who voted on the failed rotavirus
vaccine had conflicts of interest that were
waived.
66Congressional Hearings Also Revealed
- The CDCs advisory committee has no public
members. The FDAs committee has only one public
member. - Dr. Harry Greenberg, chair of the FDA committee
had to be excluded from the vote on the rotavirus
since he owns the patent. - Dr. Greenberg is a paid member of the board of
advisors of Chiron, another vaccine manufacturer
and owns 40,000 of its stock. He also owns
120,000 in stock in Avion, a vaccine
manufacturer.
67Have we traded mumps and measles for cancer and
leukemia?
- Vaccinations against relatively harmless
childhood diseases may have caused the dramatic
increase in autoimmune diseases like cancer,
leukemia, multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid
arthritis, and Lou Gehrigs disease.
