[Guest guest]

NaturalNews) Vaccines are the quackery of modern medicine. Mass vaccination

programs not only fail to protect the population from infectious disease, they

actually accelerate the spread of disease in many cases.

Many website have cropped up over the last few years to counter the pro-vaccine

propaganda put out by drug companies (who profit from vaccines) and health

regulators (who serve the drug companies). One of those sites is

www.VaccinationDebate.com , which lists the following historical facts about

vaccines:

• In the USA in 1960, two virologists discovered that both polio vaccines were

contaminated with the SV 40 virus which causes cancer in animals as well as

changes in human cell tissue cultures. Millions of children had been injected

with these vaccines. (Med Jnl of Australia 17/3/1973 p555)

• In 1871-2, England, with 98% of the population aged between 2 and 50

vaccinated against smallpox, it experienced its worst ever smallpox outbreak

with 45,000 deaths. During the same period in Germany, with a vaccination rate

of 96%, there were over 125,000 deaths from smallpox.

Hannah )

• In 1967, Ghana was declared measles free by the World Health Organisation

after 96% of its population was vaccinated. In 1972, Ghana expe

rienced one of its worst measles outbreaks with its highest ever mortality rate.

(Dr H Albonico, MMR Vaccine Campaign in Switzerland, March 1990)

• In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk who developed the first polio vaccine, testified

along with other scientists, that mass inoculation against polio was the cause

of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 " Abstracts " )

• In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough

occurred in fully vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre,

UK)

• In the 1970's a tuberculosis vaccine trial in India involving 260,000 people

revealed that more cases of TB occurred in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.

(The Lancet 12/1/80 p73)

• In 1978, a survey of 30 States in the US revealed that more than half of the

children who contracted measles had been adequately vaccinated. (The People's

Doctor, Dr R Mendelsohn)

• The February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association

found that 90% of obstetricians and 66% of pediatricians refused to take the

rubella vaccine.

• In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its

ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been

vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)

• In the USA, the cost of a single DPT shot had risen from 11 cents in 1982 to

$11.40 in 1987. The manufacturers of the vaccine were putting aside $8 per shot

to cover legal costs and damages they were paying

out to parents of brain damaged children and children who died after

vaccination. (The Vine, Issue 7, January 1994, Nambour, Qld)

• In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands

of fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest attack rate had the

highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest

vaccine coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91)

• In 1990, a UK survey involving 598 doctors revealed that over 50% of them

refused to have the Hepatitis B vaccine despite belonging to the high risk group

urged to be vaccinated. (British Med Jnl, 27/1/1990)

• In the USA, from July 1990 to November 1993, the US Food and Drug

Administration counted a total of 54,072 adverse reactions following

vaccination. The FDA admitted that this number represented only 10% of the real

total, because most doctors were refusing to report vaccine injuries. In other

words, adverse reactions for this period exceeded half a million! (National

Vaccine Information Centre, March 2, 1994)

• In 1990, the Journal of the American Medical Association had an article on

measles which stated " Although more than 95% of school-aged children in the US

are vaccinated against measles, large measles outbreaks continue to occur in

schools and most cases in this setting occur among previously vaccinated

children. " (JAMA, 21/11/90)

• In the New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue a study found that

over 80% of children under 5 years of age who had cont

racted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.

• On November 2nd, 2000, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

(AAPS) announced that its members voted at their 57th annual meeting in St Louis

to pass a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines. The

resolution passed without a single " no " vote.
