Vaccinating For Profit - From Cradle to Coffin

[Guest guest]

Due to the flooding of special education classrooms, along with the rising

medical costs of treating injured children, local taxes will soon go through the

roof, at which time the public will be forced to face the unthinkable truth

about the poisoned generation.

And when that happens, government officials had better not even think about

trying to feign ignorance because parents, scientists, and medical experts have

been screaming about the epidemic in vaccine injuries, from one end of the

country to the other, since the 1990s, and the fact is that lawmakers knowingly

allowed it to happen.

Over the past twenty years, our government has facilitated a nationwide

experiment on our country's youngest citizens via the Mandatory Childhood

Vaccine Schedule, and the tragic results of the experiment can be equally

credited to the joint efforts of compromised regulatory officials and

politicians, and the pharmaceutical industry that stood to make billions.

In a perverse twist of fate, the vaccine program has evolved into a grand

profiteering scheme, second only to the military industrial complex's war on

terror fiasco. Instead of prevention, the program has resulted in an epidemic of

serious health problems for an entire generation of children and at the same

time, produced an infinite market expansion for the sale of other prescription

drugs, for the scheme's developers.

The start of the epidemic can be traced to the late 1980s, when public health

officials dramatically increased the number of vaccines, which contained the

mercury-based preservative thimerosal, without taking into consideration the

impact of the cumulative mercury load on developing brains of infants.

Once the mercury poisoning was discovered by the FDA in 1999, vaccine-makers

claimed they were eliminating thimerosal from vaccines but they never recalled

the vaccines already on the market and children continued to receive mercury in

vaccines for several more years. Even today, the flu vaccine recommended for

6-month-old babies and pregnant women still contain a full dose of thimerosal.

Instead of ordering drug companies to get the preservative out of all vaccines,

Congressional Republicans and President W Bush spent much of the past 3

years working on strategies to give the pharmaceutical industry protection

against lawsuits from vaccine injured children. A handful of shameless

Congressional Republicans remained lurking around in the shadows for years, just

waiting for the right moment to attach the protective provision to some

" anti-terror " spending bill until they succeeded in December 2005.

Before the age of two in this country, children receive at least 20 injections

involving twelve diseases. By the time they reach first grade, they have had at

least 24 vaccinations, if they are in compliance with the CDC's 2005

Immunization Schedule.

For good reason, many parents do not want their children to receive 24

injections for diseases they have never heard of. However, government officials

use every trick in the book to force them to inject these poisonous concoctions

into their children, including economic sanctions for refusing to comply.

Refusing vaccination can result in citizens being denied enrollment in daycare,

elementary school, and college; denial of health insurance; denial of

employment; and denial of federal and state benefits for poor children including

cutting off medical care under Medicaid, and food, under the Women, Infants and

Children (WIC) program.

Medical professionals have been trying to get lawmaker to take notice of the

health problems caused by vaccines since the 1990s. On June 14, 1999, Jane

Orient, MD, Executive Director of the Associating of American Physicians and

Surgeons, testified before the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy,

and Human Resources of the Committee on Government reform and said:

" Striking increases in chronic illnesses have occurred in temporal association

with an increase in vaccination rates, " she said. " Asthma and insulin-dependent

diabetes mellitus, causes of lifelong morbidity and frequent premature death,

have nearly doubled in incidence since the introduction of many new, mandatory

vaccines. "

" There is no explanation for this increase, " Orient added.

" Even more alarming, " she told lawmakers, " is the huge increase in reports of

autism and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, with devastating, life-long

impacts. "

" Measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and the whole panoply of childhood

diseases are a far less serious threat, " Orient warned, " than having a large

fraction (say 10%) of a generation afflicted with learning disability and/or

uncontrollable aggressive behavior because of an impassioned crusade for

universal vaccination. "

About 3 years later, across the country on the West Coast, Barbara Loe Fisher,

President of the National Vaccine Information Center, testified before the

California Senate Committee on Childhood Immunization Mandates: Politics vs

Public Health on January 23, 2002. Fisher acknowledged that the CDC, and

American Academy of Pediatrics, vigorously deny that the vaccines could have

anything to do with more children being chronically ill.

" Yet, the haunting question remains, " she said, " if we have wiped out polio and

almost eliminated measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and other childhood

diseases with vaccines - why are so many of our children stuck on sick? "

" Why are our special education classrooms so crowded that we can't find enough

money or train teachers fast enough to care for these learning disabled,

hyperactive, autistic, asthmatic, diabetic, emotionally disturbed, sick

children? " Fisher asked.

Since 1982, she charged, " the numbers of American children with learning

disabilities, attention deficit disorder and asthma have doubled; diabetes has

tripled; and the incidence of autism has reached epidemic proportions,

increasing 200 to 600 percent in every state, marking a staggering 3400 percent

increase in the prevalence of autism in our children. "

Scientist have also been warning lawmakers about the vaccine injuries. Dr Mark

Geier, holds a PhD in genetics, and was a researcher at the National Institutes

of Health for10 years. He has studied vaccines for over 30 years. Dr. Geier and

his son, Geier, are the only independent researchers who have gained

access to the Vaccine Safety Datalink database controlled by the CDC, to conduct

studies on the connection between vaccines and the epidemic in neurological

problems.

In a March 22, 2003 letter to Senator Hillary Clinton, the Geiers reported: " we

have concluded in our studies that a causal relationship exists between mercury

from thimerosal in childhood vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders. "

" Our best estimates are that the thimerosal contributed to about 75% of the

cases of neurodevelpmental disorders while the MMR contributed to about 15%, "

they said. " The remaining 10% of the cases were related to mercury in Rhogam, a

shot given to Rh-negative women, and to other sources of neurotoxicity. "

On June 18, 2004, Representative Dave Weldon (R-FL), a doctor by calling, was on

the floor of Congress waving red flags, and literally begging Congress to

recognize the seriousness of the epidemic in children with neurological

disorders all over the country.

" Mr. Speaker, something dreadful is happening to our youngest generation, and we

must sound the alarm and figure out what is going on with our children, " he

said.

He quoted the Department of Health and Human Services when explaining that one

in every 167 children was being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

" Furthermore, " Weldon reported, " one in 7 children is being diagnosed with

either a learning disability or a behavioral disability. "

On June 19, 2002, Bradstreet, MD, Clinical Director of The International

Child Development Resource Center in Florida, testified in Washington before the

Government Reform Committee, and warned lawmakers about the cost of the autism

epidemic back then.

" ICDRC estimates the minimal cost in present value, to care for those 420,000

existing children with autism is $1,260,000,000,000 (based on $3million/lifetime

and 420,000 children affected). "

" So a little over a $1 trillion in the next 50 years would be required if we

stopped creating new cases today, " Bradstreet said.

" Because autism is doubling every four years, this is likely an overly

conservative estimatem " he added. " The societal cost could easily be $3-4

trillion. "

On June 20, 2005, F Kennedy, Jr, a relatively new advocate calling for

the removal of thimerosal from vaccines, appeared on the Don Imus Show on MSNBC,

and warned the public that our government is allowing drug companies to ship

thimerosal-containing vaccines for use on children in other countries.

" They're giving this now to kids all over the third world, " Kennedy warned. " In

China, autism was unknown five years ago, " he said. " They started giving them

American vaccines containing thimerosal and now they've got 1.8 million cases of

autism, " he added.

Autism is also exploding in Argentina, India, and Nigeria, Kennedy said.

" What's going to happen when our enemies around the world realize that the

United State's most heralded foreign policy which is vaccinating the children of

the world is poisoning the brains of developing third world children? " he

warmed.

" This is just a disaster, " Kennedy told Imus.

But it gets worse. Over the past 15 years, the vaccine scheme has resulted in a

full-circle cycle of profits for the pharmaceutical industry. After poisoning an

entire generation, drug companies are now making record profits from drugging

their victims.

And the true irony of the situation is that due to their partnership with

compromised officials and lawmakers, they were able to pull most of it off on

the tax payer's dime. Federal and State government programs, are the largest

buyers of vaccines, administered " free " beginning with pregnant women all the

way up to seniors citizens in nursing homes.

The vaccine racket is raging on at full-throttle. In 2005, more vaccines were

administered to infants under the age of 1 in the US than in any other country.

The current immunization schedule calls for 3 doses of Hepatitis B, the first at

birth, 3 doses each of DTAP, HIB, IPV, Prevnar, and one dose of flu vaccine

before a child's first birthday.

The first year of childhood vaccines costs $620, and the second year costs $340,

according to Pediatric Preventive Care Cost, Estimated US Average, 2005, by

Patient Age, Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care (RE9939) and

Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, US, 2005.

For the year 2004, the CDC reported the US birth rate to be 4,115,590. Without

an industrial size calculator, it would be impossible to do the math to multiply

the birth rate by the vaccine costs above. Suffice to say that the total amount

represents major profits for vaccine makers especially when most of the bill is

sent directly to the tax payers.

As for making money off the vaccine-injured children, between 2000 and 2003, the

number of children treated for " severe behavioral conditions " related to conduct

disorder and autism rose more than 60%, according to Behavior Drugs Lead in

Sales for Children, New York Times, May 17, 2004.

Tax dollars are being directly funneled to the pharmaceutical industry through

the damaged children. Public funds currently account for 63% of all mental

health spending and Medicaid spending has risen more than 50% since 2000 to more

than $300 billion per year, according to Parity-Plus: A Third Way Approach to

Fix America's Mental Health System, Progressive Policy Institute, June 22, 2005;

Medicaid Largest US Payer, Daily Health Policy Report, March 30, 20005.

Drug companies have also been raking in major profits from the sale of attention

deficit drugs, with much of it coming from the public trough. The National

Center for Health Statistics, reports that the number of children aged 3 to 17

with ADHD went from 3.3 million in 1997 to 4.4 million in 2002. Between 2000 and

2004, use of attention deficit stimulant drugs rose 56% among children,

according to data compiled Medco Health Solutions, one of the largest

prescription benefit managers in the nation.

According to testimony at the February 18, 2004, FDA hearing, by Dr

Rigoni, of the FDA's Office of Drug Safety, a combined total of approximately

10.8 million prescriptions were dispensed for SSRI antidepressants and atypicals

antipsychotics to the 1 to 17-year-old population in 2002, and children between

1 and 11-years-old, accounted for about 2.7 million of those prescriptions.

In 2004, SSRIs and antipsychotics became the third-and fourth-biggest classes of

drugs in the country, with sales of $20.7 billion. And much of that cost was

borne by government health-care plans, according to the July 27, 2005 Wall

Street Journal.

As for the continued use of thimerosal-laced flu vaccines with infants,

according to the ACIP report of July 29, 2005 / 54(RR08);1-40, actual deaths

from influenza are uncommon among children with and without high-risk

conditions. A study that modeled influenza-related deaths estimated that

annually, an average of 92 deaths, or 0.4 deaths per 100,000, occurred among

children under 5 during the 1990's.

So, are the risks associated with injecting a full dose of thimerosal into

4,115,590 six-month-old babies worth it when weighed against the benefits, if

any, of flu vaccines? More and more parents think not.
