Immunization Programs Under Scrutiny (Part 1)

by s Moritz

(NewsTarget) For many decades, leading scientists and doctors have

vehemently promoted the idea that immunization of children is

necessary to protect them from contracting such diseases as

diphtheria, polio, cholera, typhoid, or malaria. Yet evidence is

mounting that immunization may not only be unnecessary but even

harmful. Pouring deadly chemicals into a lake doesn't make it immune

to pollutants. Likewise, injecting the live poisons contained in

vaccines into the bloodstream of children hardly gives future

generations a chance to lead truly healthy lives. American children

often receive some 30 vaccinations within the first 6 years of their

lives and children in the U.K. can expect to be vaccinated about 25

times.

Within the first 15 months of life, vaccinations including nine or

more different antigens are pumped into the immature immune systems

of babies. Despite the colossal efforts and large sums of money

spent on vaccine research, medicine has never been able to devise a

cholera vaccine that works and the drugs for malaria aren't as

effective as a single herb.

Diphtheria is still combated with toxic immunization programs even

though it has almost completely disappeared from the earth. When

diphtheria broke out in Chicago in 1969, 11 of the 16 victims were

either already immune or had been immunized against diphtheria. In

another report, 14 out of 23 victims were completely immune. This

shows that vaccination makes no difference when it comes to

protection against diphtheria; on the contrary, it can even increase

the chances of being infected.

Immunization against mumps is also highly dubious. Even though it

initially reduces the likelihood of becoming infected, the risk for

mumps infection increases after immunity subsides. In 1995, a study

conducted by the U.K.'s Public Health Laboratory Service and

published in the Lancet showed that children given the

measles/mumps/ rubella shot were three times more likely to suffer

from convulsions than those children who didn't receive it. The

study also found that the MMR vaccine increased by five times the

number of children suffering a rare blood disorder.

It is interesting to note that the mortality rate from measles

declined by 95 percent before the measles vaccine was introduced. In

the United Kingdom, despite widespread vaccination among toddlers,

cases of measles recently increased by nearly 25 percent. The United

States has been suffering from a steadily increasing epidemic of

measles, although (or because) the measles vaccine has been in

effect since 1957. After a few sudden drops and rises, the cases of

measles are now suddenly dropping again. The Centers for Disease

Control (CDC) acknowledged that this could be related to an overall

decrease in the occurrence of measles in the Western Hemisphere.

In addition to this evidence, many studies show that the measles

vaccine isn't effective. For example, as reported in a 1987 New

England Journal of Medicine article, a 1986 outbreak of measles in

Corpus Christi, Texas found 99 percent of the victims had been

vaccinated. In 1987, 60 percent of the cases of measles occurred in

children who had been properly vaccinated at the appropriate age.

One year later, this figure rose to 80 percent.

Apart from not protecting against measles and possibly even

increasing the risk of contracting the disease, the MMR vaccine has

been proven to produce numerous adverse effects. Among them are

encephalitis, brain complications, convulsions, retardation of

mental and physical growth, high fever, pneumonia, meningitis,

aseptic meningitis, mumps, atypical measles, blood disorders such as

thrombocytopenia, fatal shock, arthritis, SSPE, one-sided paralysis,

and death. According to a study published in the Lancet in 1985, if

children develop " mild measles " as a result of receiving the

vaccine, the accompanying underdeveloped rash may be responsible for

causing degenerative diseases such as cancer later in life.

In reality, measles is not a dangerous childhood illness at all. The

belief that measles can lead to blindness is a myth that finds its

roots in an increased sensitivity to light during illness. This

problem subsides when the room is dimmed and vanishes completely

with recovery. For a long time, measles was believed to increase the

risk of a brain infection (encephalitis) which is known to occur

only among children who live in poverty and suffer from

malnutrition. Among upper class children, only 1 out of 100,000 will

become infected. Besides, less than half of children given a measles

booster are protected against the disease.

In a report issued by German health authorities and published in a

1989 issue of the Lancet, the mumps vaccine was revealed to have

caused 27 specific neurological reactions, including meningitis,

febrile convulsions, encephalitis, and epilepsy. A Yugoslavian study

linked 1 per 1,000 cases of mumps encephalitis directly to the

vaccine. The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal in the U.S.

reported in 1989 that the rate varies from 1 in 405 to 1 in 7,000

shots for mumps.

Although mumps is generally a mild illness and the vaccine's side

effects are severe, it is still included in the MMR vaccine. And so

is the vaccine for rubella, although it is known to cause arthritis

in up to 3 percent of children and in up to 20 percent of the adult

women who have received it. In 1994 the Department of Health

admitted to doctors that 11 percent of first-time recipients of the

rubella vaccine will get arthritis. Symptoms range from mild aches

to severe crippling. Other studies show a 30 percent chance of

developing arthritis in direct response to the rubella vaccine.

Research confirms that the whooping cough vaccine is only effective

in 36 percent of children. A report by Professor Gordon ,

which was published in 1994 in World Medicine, demonstrated that the

risks of the whooping cough vaccine outweighed the benefits. The

whooping cough or pertussis vaccine is by far the most dangerous of

all the vaccines. DTP, the whooping cough vaccine that was used in

the U.S. until 1992, contained the carcinogen formaldehyde, and the

highly toxic metals aluminum and mercury. Both this vaccine and

its " improved " version DTaP have never been tested for safety, only

for efficacy.

The new vaccine has proved to be no better than the old one. Both

versions cause death, near-death, seizures, developmental delay, and

hospitalization. DTaP (formerly DTP) is given to babies as young as

six weeks old, although the vaccine has never been tested on this

age group. Among the 17 potential health problems caused by the

whooping cough vaccine is sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

According to an estimate from the University of California at Los

Angeles, 1,000 U.S. infants a year die as a direct result of

receiving the vaccine.

Immunization programs against polio have no benefits other than

economic ones for vaccine producers. The scientist who eliminated

polio now suspects that the handful of polio cases which have

occurred in the U.S. since the seventies are caused by the live

viruses that were used as vaccines. In Finland and Sweden, where the

use of live vaccines for polio is prohibited, there has not been a

single case of polio in ten years. If live viruses used as a vaccine

can cause polio today when hygiene is generally high, it may well be

that the polio epidemics 40 to 50 years ago were also caused by

immunization against polio while hygiene, sanitation, housing, and

nutritional standards were still very low.

In the United States, cases of polio increased by 50 percent between

1957 and 1958, and by 80 percent from 1958 to 1959 after the

introduction of mass immunization. In five states, cases of polio

doubled after the polio vaccine was given to large numbers of the

population. As soon as hygiene and sanitation improved, despite the

immunization programs, the viral disease quickly disappeared.

Whatever may have been the reason for polio outbreaks in the past,

it is highly questionable today to immunize an entire population

against a disease that does not even exist any more. It raises major

questions about the motives behind polio vaccination.

Further, the history of some simian virus 40 (SV40) infections in

humans is linked to the use of polio vaccines. According to the

American Journal of Medicine, many studies have reported the

presence of SV40 from the polio vaccine in human brain tumors and

bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma.

The polio vaccine seems ever more linked to cancers, especially in

children. The cancers caused by the use of the polio vaccine in the

past still kills 20,000 people a year in the United States. This is

quite outrageous given the fact that polio itself hasn't killed

anyone for a long time.
