Dr. R. , former director of the National institute of health

declared, " the only safe vaccine is one that is never used. "

Cowpox vaccine was believed able to immunize people against smallpox. At the

time this vaccine was introduced, there was already a decline in the number

of cases of smallpox. Japan introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In

1892 there were 165,774 cases of smallpox with 29,979 deaths despite the

vaccination program. A stringent compulsory smallpox vaccine program, which

prosecuted those refusing the vaccine, was instituted in England in 1867.

Within 4 years 97.5 % of persons between 2 and 50 had been vaccinated. The

following year England experienced the worst smallpox epidemic[1] in its

history with 44,840 deaths. Between 1871 and 1880 the incidence of smallpox

escalated from 28 to 46 per 100,000. The smallpox vaccine does not work.

Much of the success attributed to vaccination programs may actually have

been due to improvement in public health related to water quality and

sanitation, less crowded living conditions, better nutrition, and higher

standards of living. Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly

declining before the vaccine for that disease was introduced. In England the

incidence of polio had decreased by 82 % before the polio vaccine was

introduced in 1956.

In the early 1900s an astute Indiana physician, Dr. W.B. e, stated

" Cancer was practically unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox

vaccine began to be introduced. I have had to deal with two hundred cases of

cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated[2] person. "

There is a widely held belief that vaccines should not be criticized because

the public might refuse to take them. This is valid only if the benefits

exceed the known risks of the vaccines.

Do Vaccines Actually Prevent Disease?

This important question does not appear to have ever been adequately

studied. Vaccines are enormously profitable for drug companies and recent

legislation in the U.S. has exempted lawsuits against pharmaceutical firms

in the event of adverse reactions to vaccines which are very common. In 1975

Germany stopped requiring pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination. Today less

than 10 % of German children are vaccinated against pertussis. The number of

cases of pertussis has steadily decreased[3] even though far fewer children

are receiving pertussis vaccine.

Measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98 %

in all parts of the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of

measles for years. As measles immunization rates rise to high levels measles

becomes a disease seen only in vaccinated persons. An outbreak of measles

occurred in a school where 100 % of the children had been vaccinated.

Measles mortality rates had declined by 97 % in England before measles

vaccination was instituted.

In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90 % of these cases

occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated. Similar vaccine

failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be

occurring despite universal vaccination. Pertussis remains endemic[4] in the

Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96 % of children have received 3

pertussis shots by age 12 months.

After institution of diptheria vaccination in England and Wales in 1894 the

number of deaths from diptheria rose by 20 % in the subsequent 15 years.

Germany had compulsory vaccination in 1939. The rate of diptheria spiraled

to 150,000 cases that year whereas, Norway which did not have compulsory

vaccination, had only 50 cases of diptheria the same year.

The continued presence of these infectious diseases in children who have

received vaccines proves that life long immunity which follows natural

infection does not occur in persons receiving vaccines. The injection

process places the viral particles into the blood without providing any

clear way to eliminate these foreign substances.

Why Do Vaccines Fail To Protect Against Diseases?

Walene , author of Immunization: the Reality Behind The Myth, states

that the full[5] inflammatory response is necessary to create real immunity.

Prior to the introduction of measles and mumps vaccines children got measles

and mumps and in the great majority of cases these diseases were benign.

Vaccines " trick " the body so it does not mount a complete inflammatory

response to the injected virus.

Vaccines and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS

The incidence of Sudden Infant Death syndrome SIDS has grown from .55 per

1000 live births in 1953 to 12.8 per 1000 in 1992 in Olmstead County,

Minnesota. The peak incidence for SIDS is age 2 to 4 months the exact time

most vaccines are being given to children. 85 % of cases of SIDS occur in

the first 6 months of infancy. The increase in SIDS as a percentage of total

infant deaths has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in 1992.

This rise in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every

childhood disease was declining due to improved sanitation and medical

progress except SIDS. These deaths from SIDS did increase during a period

when the number of vaccines given a child was steadily rising to 36 per

child.

Dr. W. Torch was able to document 12 deaths in infants which appeared within

3½ and 19 hours of a DPT immunization. He later reported 11 new cases of

SIDS death and one near miss which had occurred within 24 hours of a DPT

injection. When he studied 70 cases of SIDS two thirds of these victims[6]

had been vaccinated from one half day to 3 weeks prior to their deaths. None

of these deaths was attributed to vaccines. Vaccines are a sacred cow and

nothing against them appears in the mass media because they are so

profitable to pharmaceutical firms.

There is valid reason to think that not only are vaccines worthless in

preventing disease they are counterproductive because they injure the immune

system permitting cancer, auto-immune diseases and SIDS to cause much

disability and death.

Are Vaccines Sterile?

Dr. Strecker claimed that the department of defense DOD was given

$10,000,000 in 1969 to create the AIDS virus to be used as a

population-reducing[7] weapon against blacks. By use of the Freedom of

Information Act Dr. Strecker was able to learn that the DOD secured funds

from Congress to perform studies on immune destroying agents for germ

warfare.

Once produced, the vaccine was given in two locations. Smallpox vaccine

containing HIV was given to 100,000,000 Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young

white homosexual males in New York City were given Hepatitis B vaccine that

contained HIV virus in 1978. This vaccine was given at New York City Blood

Center. The Hepatitis B vaccine containing the HIV virus was also

administered to homosexual males in San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.Louis,

Houston and Chicago in 1978 and 1979. U.S. Public Health epidemiology

studies have disclosed that these same 6 cities had the highest incidence of

AIDS, Aids related Complex (ARC) and deaths rates from HIV, when compared to

other U.S. cities.

When a new virus is introduced into a community. It takes 20 years for the

number of cases to double. If the fabricated story that green monkey bites

of pygmies led to the HIV epidemic, the alleged monkey bites in the 1940s

should have produced a peak in the incidence of HIV in the 1960s at which

time HIV was non existent in Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO)

began a African smallpox vaccination campaign in 1977 that targeted urban

population centers and avoided pygmies. If the green monkey bites of pygmies

truly caused the HIV epidemic the incidence of HIV in pygmies should have

been higher than in urban citizens. However, the opposite was true.

In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy (bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in

supposedly sterile inactivated polio vaccine[8] developed by Dr. Jonas Salk.

This discovery was not well received at the NIH and Dr. Eddy was demoted.

Later Dr. Eddy, working with , discovered SE polyoma virus.

This virus was quite important because it caused cancer in every animal

receiving it. Yellow fever vaccine had previously been found to contain

avian (bird) leukemia virus. Later Dr. Hilleman isolated SV 40 virus from

both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. There were 40 different viruses[9]

in these polio vaccines they were trying to eradicate. They were never able

to get rid of these viruses ontaminating the polio vaccines. The SV 40 virus

causes malignancies. It has now been identified in 43 % of cases of

non-Hodgekin lymphoma[10] , 36 % of brain tumors[11] , 18 % of healthy blood

samples, and 22 % of healthy semen samples, mesothiolomas and other

malignancies. By the time of this discovery SV 40 had already been injected

into 10,000,000 people in Salk vaccine. Gastric digestion inactivtes some of

SV 40 in Sabin vaccine. However, the isolation of strains of Sabin polio

vaccine from all 38 cases of Guillan Barre Syndrome[12] GBS in Brazil

suggests that significant numbers of persons are able to be infected from

this vaccine. All 38 of these patients had received Sabin polio vaccine

months to years before the onset of GBS. The incidence of non-Hodgekin

lymphoma has " mysteriouly " doubled since the 1970s.

Dr. , Professor of Pathology at the Univ. of Southern California,

was employed by the Viral Oncology Branch of the Bureau of Biologics (FDA)

from 1976 to 1980. While employed there he identified foreign DNA in the

live polio vaccine Orimune Lederle that suggested serious vaccine

contamination. He warned his supervisors about this problem and was told to

discontinue his work as it was outside the scope of testing required for

polio vaccine.

Later Dr. learned that all eleven of the African green monkeys used

to grow the Lederle polio virus Orimune had grown simian cytomegalovirus

from kidney cell cultures. Lederle was aware of this viral contamination as

their Cytomegaloviral Contamination Plan[13] clearly showed in 1972. The

Bureau of Biologics decided not to pursue the matter so production of

infected polio vaccine continued.

In 1955 Dr. identified unique cell destroying viruses termed stealth

viruses in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. These viruses lacked

genes that would enable the immune system to recognize them. Thus they were

protected by the body's failure to develop antiviral antibodies. In March of

1995, Dr. learned that some of these stealth viruses had originated

from African green monkey simian cytomegalovirus of a type known to infect

man.

The Lederle vaccine experience suggests that the higher-ups are not

concerned about sloppy and dangerous preparation of vaccines. Animal cross

infection is a huge unsolved current problem for all vaccine manufacturing.

If this vaccine production sounds like an unbelievable mess to you, you are

right.

The influential Club of Rome has a position paper in which they state that

the world population is too large and needs to be reduced by 90 %. This

means that 6 billion people must be reduced to 500 to 600 million.

Obviously, creating famines and genocidal wars such as wrecked havoc in

Africa, and loosing new laboratory-created diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg[14]

, and probably West Nile virus and SARS) can help reduce the population.

Other elitist groups (Trilaterals, Bildenbergers) have expressed similar

concerns about excess people on planet Earth.

The company that was projected to produce the new smallpox vaccine in the

U.S. was in serious trouble in England because of unsatisfactory quality of

operations before setting up their facility in the U.S. Why would their

performance here be any better than it was in England?

If there are important powerful groups of people that are determined to

reduce the world population, what could be a more diabolically clever way to

eliminate people than to inject them with a cancer-causing vaccine? The

person receiving the injection would never suspect that the vaccine taken 10

to 15 years earlier had caused the cancer to appear.

Other Dangers From Vaccines

In the March 4, 1977 issue of Science Jonas and Darrell Salk warn, " Live

virus vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance

produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus against measles

and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage).

The swine flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though

there had never been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Farmers

refused to use the vaccine because it killed too many animals. Within a few

months of use in humans this vaccine caused many cases of serious nerve

injury (Guillan Barre syndrome).

An article in the Washington Post on Jan. 26, 1988 mentioned that all cases

of polio since 1979 had been caused by the polio vaccine with no known cases

of polio from a wild strain since 1979. This might have created a perfect

situation to discontinue the vaccine, but the vaccine is still given.

Vaccines are a wonderful source of profits with no risks to the drug

companies since vaccine injuries are now recompensed by the government.

The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been

followed by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases

(rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple

sclerosis, asthma) seen in children. While there is a genetic transmission

of some of these diseases many are probably due to the injury from foreign

protein particles, mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents

injected in vaccines.

In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine was recommended by the Center for Disease

Control for all infants. When this vaccine program was instituted several

infants died and many had life endangering bowel obstructions. Prelicensure

trials[15] of the rotavirus vaccine had demonstrated an increased incidence

of intussusception 30 times greater than normal but the vaccine was released

anyway without special warnings to practitioners to be on the lookout for

bowel problems. Children's vaccines are often not studied for toxicity

possibly because such study might eliminate them from being used.

A large study from Australia showed that the risk of developing encephalitis

from the pertussis vaccine was 5 times greater than the risk of developing

encephalitis by contacting pertussis by natural methods.

Naturally acquired immunity by illness evolves by spread of a virus from the

respiratory tract to the liver, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When

symptoms begin, the entire immune response has been mobilized to repel the

invading virus. This complex immune system response creates antibodies that

confer life long immunity against that invading virus and prepares the child

to respond promptly to an infection by the same virus in the future.

Vaccination, in contrast, results in the persisting of live virus or other

foreign antigens within the cells of the body, a situation that may provoke

auto-immune reactions as the body attempts to destroy its own infected

cells. There is no surprise that the incidence of auto-immune diseases

(rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis,

asthma, psoriasis) has risen sharply in this era of multiple vaccine

immunization.

Vaccine Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Dr. Classen has published 29 articles on vaccine-induced[16] diabetes.

At least 8 of 10 children with Type 1 (insulin needing) diabetes have this

disease as a result of vaccination. These children may have avoided measles,

mumps, and whooping cough but they have received something far worse: an

illness that shortens life expectancy by 10 to 15 years and results in a

life requiring constant medical care.

Dr. Classen has shown in Finland, the introduction of hemophilus type b

vaccine caused three times as many cases of type 1 diabetes as the number of

deaths and brain damage from hemophilus influenza type b it might have

prevented.

In New Zealand, the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children rose by 61 %

after an aggressive vaccine program against hepatitis B.. This same program

has been started in the U.S.A. so we can now look forward to many cases of

Type 1 diabetes in children. Similar rises in Type 1 diabetes have been seen

in England, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark after immunization programs against

Hepatitis B.

Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.

Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the

vaccines from becoming infected or to improve the performance of the

vaccine. Among these substances are mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[17]

In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen from between

200 and 500 percent in every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism

followed the introduction of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975.

Representative Dan Burton's healthy grandson was given injections for 9

diseases in one day. These injections were instantly followed by autism.

These injections contain a preservative of mercury called thimerosal. The

boy received 41 times the amount of mercury which is capable of harm to the

body. Mercury is a neurotoxin that can injure the brain and nervous system.

And tragically, it did.

In the United States the number of compulsory vaccine injections has

increased from 10 to 36 in the last 25 years. During this period, there has

been a simultaneous increase in the number of children suffering learning

disabilities and attention deficit disorder. Some of these childhood

disabilities are related to intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal

cocaine use, but probably vaccines cause many of the others.

Many vaccines contain aluminum. A new disease called macrophagic

myofasciitis causes pain in muscles, bones and joints. All persons with this

disease have received aluminum containing vaccines. Deposits of aluminum are

able to remain as an irritant in tissues and disturb the immune and nervous

system for a lifetime.

Nearly all vaccines contain aluminum and mercury. These metals appear to

play an important role in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. An expert at

the 1997 International Vaccine Conference related that a person who takes 5

or more annual flu vaccine shots has increased the likelihood of developing

Alzheimer's Disease by a factor of 10 over the person who has had 2 or fewer

flu shots.

When we take vaccines we are playing a modern version of Russian Roulette.

We not only get exposed to aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell

proteins but we may get simian virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which

can cause cancer, leukemia and other severe health problems because the

vaccine pool is contaminated due to careless animal isolation techniques.

Congress has protected the manufacturers from lawsuits, so dangerous

vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug companies.

U.S. children aged 2 months began receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December

2000.No peer-reviewed studies of the safety of hepatitis B in this age

bracket had been done. Over 36,000 adverse reactions with 440 deaths were

soon reported but the true incidence is much higher as reporting is

voluntary so only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions get reported. This

means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the hepatitis B

vaccine. The CDC's Chief of Epidemiology admits that the frequency of

serious reactions to hepatitis B vaccine is 10 times higher than other

vaccines. Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and by contaminated blood, so

the incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A

vaccine expert, Dr. Philip Incao, states that " the conclusion is obvious

that the risks[18] of hepatitis B vaccination far outweigh the benefits.

Once a vaccine is mandated the vaccine manufacturer is no longer liable for

adverse reactions.

Dr. W.B. e's important observation that cancer was not found in

unvaccinated individuals demands an explanation and one now appears

forthcoming. All vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature

immune system deplete the thymus gland (the primary gland involved in immune

reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could

have multiplied and developed into an army of valuable cells to combat

infection and growth of abnormal cells. When these immune cells have been

used up, permanent immunity may not appear. The Arthur Research Foundation

in Tucson, Arizona estimates that up to 60 % of our immune system may be

exhausted[19] by multiple mass vaccines (36 are now required for children).

Only 10 % of immune cells are permanently lost when a child is permitted to

develop natural immunity from disease. There needs to be grave concern about

these immune system injuring vaccinations! Could the persons who approve

these mass vaccinations know that they are impairing the health of these

children, many of whom are being doomed to requiring much medical care in

the future?

Compelling evidence is available that the development of the immune system

after contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it

capable to fight infection and malignant cells in the future.

The use of multiple vaccines, which prevents natural immunity, promotes the

development of allergies and asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23 %

of vaccinated children develop asthma , as compared to zero in unvaccinated

children.

Cancer was a very rare illness in the 1890's. This evidence about immune

system injury from vaccinating affords a plausible explanation for Dr.

e's finding that only vaccinated individuals got cancer. Some radical

adverse change in health occurred in the early 1900s to permit cancer to

explode and vaccinating appears to be the reason.

Vaccines are an unnatural phenomena. My guess is that if enough persons said

no to immunizations there would be a striking improvement in general health

with nature back in the immunizing business instead of man. Having a child

vaccinated should be a choice not a requirement. Medical and religious

exemptions are permitted by most states.

When governmental policies require vaccinations before children enter

schools coercion has overruled the lack of evidence of vaccine efficacy and

safety. There is no proof that vaccines work and they are never studied for

safety before release. My opinion is that there is overwhelming evidence

that vaccines are dangerous and the only reason for their existence is to

increase profits of pharmaceutical firms.

If you are forced to immunize your children so they can enter school, obtain

a notarized statement from the director of the facility that they will

accept full financial responsibility for any adverse reaction from the

vaccine. Since there is at least a 2 percent risk of a serious adverse

reaction they may be smart enough to permit your child to escape a dangerous

procedure. Recent legislation passed by Congress gives the government the

power to imprison persons refusing to take vaccines (smallpox, anthrax,

etc). This would be troublesome to enforce if large numbers of citizens

declined to be vaccinated at the same time.
