IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER that forced vaccinations is only the first step.

The following is a quote from www.medicine-no.com

" Americans may soon be vaccinated, drugged, electric-shocked, and operated on by

government mandate or court order with police or military enforcement. Forced

medicine is not an easy accomplishment in a free society; but headway is being

made in that direction. The medical gurus are getting their way. Children are

now forced to get vaccinated in spite of parents rebellion. Household pets are

not exempt. Senior citizens are willing subjects. Seniors have been convinced,

by years of rhetoric and hogwash, that pollution of the human bloodstream can

lead to health! Unbelievable, outrageous and inhuman! "

Time to end profit driven mandatory vaccination

The push to keep adding more vaccines to the mandatory schedules comes

directly from a purely profit motivated industry and a recent investor

report estimates that the world-wide market will quadruple from about

$4.3 billion in 2006 to more than $16 billion in 2016, with the

biggest boost coming from kids in the US.

A November 2007 report entitled, " Pipeline and Commercial Insight:

Pediatric and Adolescent Vaccines, " authored by vaccine analyst,

Hedwig Kresse, for the independent market analyst Datamonitor

discusses the future outlook for vaccine profits.

The report provides an assessment of products and a patient-based

forecast of market size and coverage rates to the year 2016, and

predicts that the introduction of high price vaccines will induce

rapid growth in the pediatric and adolescent vaccines market.

The report predicts that due to the " promising commercial potential "

of new, high-price vaccines, the pediatric and adolescent market will

quadruple from approximately $4.3 billion in 2006, to over $16 billion

by 2016, across the US, the EU-five including France, Germany, Italy,

Spain, and the UK, and Japan.

The crucial factor for success in the pediatric market, the report

notes, is the introduction of a product into national vaccination

schedules. " Along with reimbursement, this virtually guarantees the

rapid uptake and continuously high coverage rates in the target

population, " Ms Kresse states.

As an example, she cites Wyeth's Prevnar, as the first premium price

vaccine launched in the US in 2000 for vaccinating infants against

pneumonia and meningitis.

Since then, Prevnar has been added to the childhood vaccination

schedules in the US and EU-five despite its high price of nearly $320

for the 4-dose regimen. In 2006, Global sales reached almost $2

billion, making Prevnar the first vaccine to attain blockbuster

status, according to the report. By 2016, Datamonitor expects the

total value of the infant market for pneumococcal vaccines to increase

to $2.3 billion.

In June 2006, Merck's Gardasil was approved for cervical cancer.

Because it was the first vaccine offered as a preventive measure for a

form of cancer, its approval generated tremendous public attention

along with pressure for healthcare authorities to make the vaccine

available to teenage girls at a cost of $360 for 3 doses.

" Although most cases of cervical cancer in the developed world can be

prevented through the existing pap smear screening programs, the

expensive HPV vaccination has been recommended and is reimbursed for

teenage girls across the US and Europe, " Ms Kresse reports.

She notes that this decision is driven more by public pressure and

excitement about the opportunity to vaccinate against cancer rather

than by real need. The widespread publicity has led to a good uptake

in the target group of adolescent girls, which is usually hard to

reach for vaccination, Ms Kresse points out to investors.

Datamonitor sees a huge commercial opportunity in HPV vaccines, with

annual sales of $1.4 billion in teenage girls for the seven major

markets by 2016 and a cumulative catch-up opportunity in women aged

13-26 that could add up to over $17 billion until 2016.

But Ms Kresse warns investors that the " lack of medical need " for

rotavirus vaccines such as RotaTeq will limit their uptake in most

markets. RotaTeq is advertised to combat diarrhea that usually affects

infants under the age of two, and was introduced by Merck in the US in

2006, at a price of $200 for the three-dose regimen.

According to Ms Kresse, many countries, but not the US, have refused

to add the vaccine to their schedules due to cost-benefit reasons. " In

the developed world, rotavirus diarrhea is rarely severe for small

infants and quick and efficacious treatment is already available, " she

writes. " Consequently, healthcare authorities see no need to widely

introduce a very expensive vaccine. "

Datamonitor estimates that annual sales will remain limited to

approximately $1 billion across the 7 major markets by 2016 and

predicts that the US will account for the majority of sales, being the

only country to have recommended the rotavirus vaccine for all infants.

Wyeth's Prevnar vaccine came on the market in 2000 and is recommended

for children under 2. The vaccine was hailed as a breakthrough and had

sales of more than $1.5 billion in 2006. Prevnar is given as four

shots to children between 2 and 15 months.

On September 18, 2007, NewsMax reported that the vaccine has

dramatically curbed pneumonia and other serious illnesses in children

but is also having an unfortunate effect: " promoting new superbugs

that cause ear infections. "

According to NewsMax, doctors reported finding the first such germ

that is resistant to all drugs approved to treat childhood ear

infections and 9 toddlers in Rochester, N.Y., have had the bug and

that it also may be turning up elsewhere.

It is a strain of strep bacteria not included in the pneumococcal

vaccine. Prevnar prevents seven strains responsible for most cases of

pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream infections. But dozens more

strains exist and some have become resistant to antibiotics since the

vaccine combats the more common strains.

If the new strains continue to spread, " it tells us the vaccine is

becoming less effective " and needs to be revised, Dr Dennis Maki,

infectious diseases chief at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Hospitals and Clinics, told NewsMax.

A new study in the November 8, 2007 New England Journal of Medicine by

researchers at Oregon Health & Science University, supported by the

United States Public Health Service, suggests that the schedule for

vaccinating and revaccinating against diseases should be reevaluated

and adjusted.

The study found that in many cases, the established duration of

immunity for vaccines is greatly underestimated, which means that

people are getting booster shots when their immunity levels do not

require it and those antibody responses caused by viruses such as

measles mumps, and rubella remained at protective levels for several

decades and in most cases, for life.

The research also reconfirmed a previous finding by Slifka and his

colleagues: that the duration of immunity after smallpox vaccination

is much longer than previously thought. In that earlier study

published in the journal Nature Medicine in 2003, these OHSU

researchers observed surprisingly long-lived antiviral antibody

responses but they were unable to measure the slow rate of decline.

The study indicates that the duration of immunity after smallpox

vaccination is maintained with a calculated half-life of 92 years and

that a person who has received the primary series of tetanus vaccine

is likely to be protected for 3 decades.

Experts say we have allowed ourselves and our children to be overdosed

through a culture dominated by industry marketing influence which has

now become dangerously out of control and detrimental to our

children's health. " In the 21st century, it is unacceptable to be

marketing medication to infants and children that may not work, " Dr

Czinn, chair of the department of pediatrics at the University

of land School of Medicine, told Reuters on October 11, 2007.

In the November 19, 2007 Huffington Post article, " Over Medicated and

Over-Vaccinated: The Unintended Consequence of Medicines Meant to

Protect, " Deirdre Imus asks, " Where are the conflict-free studies that

prove giving infants and children 49 immunizations - most of them by

age 5, are safe and effective? "

She points out that studies have provided evidence that the

over-vaccination of dogs and cats can result in numerous maladies

including cancer, skin and ear conditions, arthritis, allergies,

diabetes, aggression, behavior problems and other immune system

dysfunctions. " There is even a name for the conditions caused by

animal over-vaccination, vaccinosis, " she notes.

Ms Imus also points out that the mercury-containing preservative,

thimerosal, used in vaccines for over 50 years was removed from animal

vaccines in 1992.

" Unfortunately for the kids, " she writes, " it remained in children's

vaccines for another decade and remains in some vaccines like the

influenza (25 micrograms) and tetanus vaccine (25 micrograms) today

and in trace amounts (3 micrograms) in some immunizations. "

She says most people do not realize is that any liquid waste

containing more than 200 parts per billion (ppb) mercury must be

deposited at a hazardous waste site and that drinking water cannot

exceed 2 ppb mercury.

" But when the influenza vaccines arrive and are injected into pregnant

woman and infants as young as six months, those vaccines contain

50,000 ppb mercury, " Ms Imus notes.

This amount of mercury is 250 times higher than hazardous waste, she

notes, and according to EPA guidelines, this amount can only be

considered safe if a person weighs 550 pounds. " Even trace amounts of

mercury in vaccines can be anywhere from 600 to 2000 ppb, " she warns.

On November 13, 2006, PutChildrenFirst.org, a parent-led organization

advocating vaccine safety, issued a press release to announce the

results of a survey conducted October 27-30, 2006, by Zogby

International of over 9,000 Americans to learn their plans for getting

flu shots, their knowledge of its ingredients, and who they hold

responsible for making sure vaccines are safe.

The survey showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans were

unaware that most flu shots contain mercury and that they would refuse

a shot with mercury. After learning that mercury is an ingredient, 74%

of those polled said they were less likely to get a flu shot and 86%

of parents said they were less likely to allow their child to get a shot.

Handley is a founding parent of PutChildrenFirst.org, whose son

Jamison had an adverse reaction to a flu shot with mercury in 2003. " I

know firsthand how life-changing a flu shot with mercury can be, since

our son began his regression into autism after his flu shot, " she states.

" With everything we know about the dangers of mercury and the havoc it

can wreak on young, developing brains, there is no excuse for any

vaccine to contain mercury, " says Lyn Redwood, RN, MSN, President of

SafeMinds, a nonprofit organization committed to ending

mercury-induced neurological disorders.

" The survey reveals that Americans are overwhelmingly in the dark

about what is in most flu shots, " Ms Redwood stated in the press release.

" They do not want a known neurotoxin injected into their children, and

they believe Congress and medical professionals must be more vigilant

about keeping vaccines safe and mercury-free, " she added.

PutChildrenFirst also advises that two recent studies in leading

medical journals admitted that limited data exists to support the

effectiveness of flu vaccines. One study, in the Journal of the

American Medical Association, noted that, " there is scant data on the

efficacy and effectiveness of influenza vaccine in young children, "

the release notes.

According to Ms Imus, we are beginning to see prescribed vaccines,

like the whole cell DPT and Rotovirus, which are later found to be unsafe.

" While physicians warn the public about the over use of antibiotics, "

she points out, " it is the physicians themselves that over-prescribed

these antibiotics for every ailment under the sun. "

" And like antibiotics, " she writes, " every time a new vaccine was

developed, it quickly found its way onto the immunization schedule

along with the recommended booster shots. "

" We are now reaping the unintended consequences of the overuse of

these medical interventions, " she states. " Instead of being healthier,

we have a nation of very sick children. "

Forcing parents to inject poisonous concoctions into innocent,

helpless children against their will is a gross violation of their

most basic parental rights.
