(NaturalNews) Encouraged by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), pediatricians across the United States have begun questioning children about their parents’ habits, in some cases even filing police reports based on this information, according to an opinion article published in the Boston Herald.
Article author Michael Graham recounts that his own children were asked by their doctor whether their parents used drugs and alcohol, owned guns, or were abusive. The doctor did not seek parental permission before asking the questions, nor did he inform them that they were being asked; Graham and his wife found out only after their children came home from the visits.
“The doctor wanted to know how much you and mom drink, and if I think it’s too much,” Graham reports his daughter saying. “She asked if you two did drugs, or if there are drugs in the house. The doctor wanted to know how we get along. And if, well, Daddy, if you made me feel uncomfortable.”
Graham also reports the case of an Uxbridge, Massachusetts man who had his legal gun ownership reported to the police by his daughter’s doctor. The doctor filed a police report after asking the 5-year-old girl if her father owned a gun, then following up with questions to her and her mother about the type and number of the weapons.
Graham blames the trend on guidelines issued by the AAP, which classifies parents as “persons of interest” and encourages doctors to ask children questions in order to uncover inappropriate or illegal behavior.
“The paranoia over parents is so strong that the AAP encourages doctors to ignore ‘legal barriers and deference to parental involvement’ and shake the children down for all the inside information they can get,” Graham writes.
According to Graham, anti-gun advocacy by pediatricians is widespread enough that “some states are considering legislation to stop it.”
“What this interrogation of children demonstrates,” added consumer health advocate Mike Adams, “is just how deeply the medical establishment now believes it has total authority over the lives of patients. This kind of behavior is arrogant, outrageous and should be outlawed,” Adams said.

“babies are often taken into custody – a couple of times a week at the Royal Alex alone – and judgments are made in each case about necessary security measures.”
Who is your child’s custodian? You or the State? At one hospital in Canada, Royal Alexandra Hospital in Calgary Alberta, several children are taken into custody each week. Why? Are parents so dangerous to their Chidren or have the intrusive policies of the State become so astonishingly invasive that “several children” are taken away from their parents each week?
In the US, at least, what happens to these children is literally harrowing. Forced drugging, sexual abuse, emotional and physical abuse, separation from people who love them, perhaps starting with their parents and then often from foster care givers. What are we doing to our society? And why?
Could this increase have anything to do with the change perpetrated by the FDA to make children in foster care subjects for drug experimentation without the nicety of an informed consent signed by anyone? That means that the state is paid by drug companies for experimentation on the most vulnerable and most defenseless members of our society: children in foster care.
This lack of informed consent extends to prisoners, too. Could that be why the numbers of prisoners are increasing nearly exponentially in every state in the US?
If this is not the reason for these increases, I hope that someone can tell me what the real reason is.

Mom steals own baby
Takes one-day-old child from hospital without legal custody
By NICKI THOMAS AND GLENN KAUTH, SUN MEDIAA communication breakdown may have allowed a 19-year-old mother to abduct her own child from hospital yesterday – but there are no problems with security measures, says a Capital Health official.
“This was not a random child abduction by a stranger. This is not something that should cause a lot of anxiety to other parents. This is a case that does happen very rarely when social services are involved,” said spokesman Steve Buick.
Just after 10 a.m. yesterday, police were alerted by staff at the Royal Alexandra Hospital that a woman had left the building with her one-day-old child, of whom she did not have legal custody.
Minutes later, the woman – who cannot be named under the Youth and Family Enhancement Act – boarded a bus heading toward Castledowns.
“She didn’t have anything on the baby except a blanket. We thought it was a doll,” said Arlene, who was on the bus with the woman and later called a social worker at the hospital when she became concerned about the mom’s behavior.
“I was thinking that it wasn’t a baby – the way she was holding it. It was almost like a rag doll in her arms,” said Arlene, who didn’t want her last name used.
She added the mom was very fidgety and seemed paranoid.
The mom got off the bus near 122 Avenue and 97 Street and took a cab to her home at the Evergreen Mobile Home Park, where police located her and the baby.
Children’s Services spokesman Heather Massel couldn’t say specifically why the mom had lost custody of the baby, but said an apprehension order is generally carried out when a parent is unable or unwilling to care for the child.
She said the baby is safe and in the care of children’s services. Buick said that babies are often taken into custody – a couple of times a week at the Royal Alex alone – and judgments are made in each case about necessary security measures.
“It’s hard to predict the way a new mom will react to the news that her baby is going to be taken into custody. Everybody involved makes their best judgment about how an individual mom will react and most of the time, that judgment is (that) it will be OK. Once in a blue moon, literally every few years, that judgment won’t work out the way that people had in mind and the mom will just react badly and run off with the baby,” he said, adding the last time this happened was six years ago.
Despite losing custody of her child, the mother was allowed regular access to the baby, said Buick.
“Her being with her baby was exactly as it should have been. The judgment about apprehension does not necessarily mean that the mom shouldn’t have any contact with her newborn baby,” he said.
Buick admitted there may have been a breakdown in communication between staff and social services regarding the apprehension order and Capital Health will be looking into what happened.
“In a busy unit like this with a number of patients going through it, it’s very possible that someone who had just come on shift didn’t know that this order had been made and may have given mom a wrong impression,” he said. “We should have been watching more closely than we were and if there’s any improvement we can make, we’ll look for how.
“The bottom line is there wasn’t any extra security required, so it wasn’t really a breach of the security measures. There’s no way that it would be good for this family or any other family for us to start putting armed guards outside every door in these units. This is a risk we have to manage and it’s a very, very tiny risk.”
Police will not be laying charges against the mother.

The following article presents testimony and statistics which any health freedom advocate or parent will find useful in considering whether they want to be vaccinated or have their child vaccinated against their will.
Vaccinating For Profit – From Cradle to Coffin News
February 2, 2006. By Evelyn Pringle
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 George 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. [By the time they reach age 18, if they have been vaccinated according to the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule, they have received fully 78 vaccinations! Comment by Dr. Rima]
For good reason, many parents do not want their children to receive 24 injections for diseases they have never heard of [and another 58 by age 18! Comment by Dr. Rima]. 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, David 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, James 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 estimate” he added. “The societal cost could easily be $3-4 trillion.”
On June 20, 2005, Robert 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 Gianna 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.

The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics have succeeded in New Jersey so they are now after every child in America: vaccinate every child every year with flu shots that damage the immune system, may contain mercury, surely contain aluminum, formaldehyde, foreign protein, and actually don’t work most of the time. Apparently that sounds like a winner to the Big Pharma side of the house.
There are twists of logic that boggle the mind here. For example, although the CDC admitted within the last month that this year’s seasonal flu shot is only effective 40% of the time or less since the viruses in circulation are not the ones covered by the vaccine, there is no let up in the insistence that every child get vaccinated with this flu shot.
Consider, too, the rather astonishing quote from the article below:
“No deaths have been reported in New Jersey this season, but 16 children have been hospitalized with confirmed cases of flu, state
health officials said. Flu activity is currently characterized by the CDC as “widespread” in New Jersey.”
Does that mean that 16 kids with severe immunocompromise problems (say, kids on chemotherapy for cancer) or kids with HIV/AIDS got the flu and needed to be hospitalized and so every kid in the country needs to be vaccinated with a dangerous shot? What about the lost days and hours and lives of parents who have kids who have been vaccine injured and suffered brain injury, autism, asthma, or cancer? And what about the loss of parental rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States? Is that worth protecting the employers of New Jersey and the US from lost days of work by the parents whose kids get the flu (most often a cold, by the way)?
Apparently it does.
And then there is the rather weird “logic” of vaccinating kids yearly to protect their parents from loosing time from work (last year it was “vaccinate the kids to protect the elderly with whom they might come into contact”). You will note the same arguments used in New Jersey before the Health Commissioner declared that every child in the state, starting in infancy, would have to be vaccinated annually if they wanted to attend day care or go to school.
It is rumored in New Jersey that when Governor Corzine’s Stem Cell Therapy initiative failed to give the Big Pharma companies headquartered in that State the huge give away they were anticipating, he felt compelled to do something to help these companies (like Merck) want to stay in NJ. Reasoning that annual vaccination of kids might be a good gift to his Pharma Phriends, the Governor, who has been provided with all the scientific information needed to make it clear that this is a very, very bad idea, decided to go ahead anyway. A real “Man of the People”, as long as you are talking about Pharmaceutical investors and executives.
Read today’s entry into the “Vaccinate Every Kid Every Year” Propaganda campaign.
Compulsory vaccination is just part of the plans afoot for compulsory drugging. Please take all of the following Action Steps to protect your rights to make your own health decisions, not have them forced upon you by the Pharmaceutically controlled policy makers.
1. STOP COMPULSORY DRUGGING AND VACCINATION (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=21835)
2. SUPPORT PHILOSOPHICAL EXEMPTIONS IN NEW JERSEY AND ALL OTHER STATES (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=23087)
3. STOP SCHOOLS FROM FORCING DRUGS ON KIDS
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=18970)

(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=23065)
These actions steps are vitally important in the movement toward passive helplessness in the face of Big Pharma domination of public policy toward active citizen control of our own health decisions.

CDC panel expands flu shot guidance: Children up to 18 should get vaccine
Thursday, February 28, 2008
BY ANGELA STEWART
Star-Ledger Staff
Every child up to the age of 18 should be immunized against the flu,
a federal advisory panel recommended yesterday.
The recommendation, made by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, would
increase the number of children receiving flu shots by 30 million a year. Children younger than 6 months are excluded.
It is expected to be approved by the CDC as early as this spring and
become the agency’s official policy for the 2008-2009 flu season.
“We don’t expect any issue with this recommendation,” said Curtis
Allen, a CDC spokesman.
The CDC’s previous recommendation was that children from 6 months to
5 years of age or those with chronic conditions that put them at high
risk of complications needed to be immunized.
Allen said the expanded recommendation — which would be advisory but
likely influential — is pri marily aimed at protecting healthy
children of all ages against the flu, but noted it will also offer
residual benefits to others.
“The logic is there are children in this 6-month to 18-year-old age
group who are in schools where we know a lot of influenza
circulates,” he said. “When a child becomes sick, a parent also has
to stay home and out of work, which is lost productivity. Once a
child is vacci nated, this will help protect others in their
household and the community from influenza.”
A representative of the American Academy of Pediatrics applauded the
recommendation, saying there are many children with conditions like
asthma who should be getting immunized but aren’t.
“We know that the vaccine is the best method for preventing influenza
and its potential severe complications,” said Henry Bern stein, a
member of the academy’s committee on infectious diseases and chief of
pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire
Children have among the highest rates of flu of any age group,
according to the CDC, with more than 20,000 kids under the age of 5
hospitalized each year nationwide. So far this flu season, 22
children across the country have died from flu-related illness, Allen
said.
No deaths have been reported in New Jersey this season, but 16
children have been hospitalized with confirmed cases of flu, state
health officials said. Flu activity is currently characterized by the
CDC as “widespread” in New Jersey.
Maria Spina of Colonia, whose 7-month-old daughter, Carlee, received
a flu shot yesterday at the office of Nutley Pediatrics, said she
thought the recommendations made sense.
“I think any mother would worry if their child got really sick with
the flu,” Spina said.
Richard Marcus, who immu nized Spina’s baby yesterday, said many
parents take vaccine preventable diseases “very, very, lightly.”
“It’s seen as something that doesn’t affect their children, that is
until they have an episode,” Mar cus said. “Then they become firm
believers.”
Alissa Kanowitz, who was a founder of a group called Families
Fighting Flu, lost her 4-year-old daughter Amanda in 2004 to the flu.
Amanda was not immunized, as the CDC at the time only recommended
shots for children up to 23 months. Two years ago, the recommendation
was expanded to include children up to age 5.
“Today’s vote really sends a strong message about just how se rious
influenza is,” said Kanowitz, a New York City resident.
This fall, New Jersey will become the first state in the nation to
require flu shots for infants and children entering licensed day care
centers or pre-schools. The state Public Health Council passed that
recommendation despite protest from anti-vaccine groups and oth ers
who oppose what they view as government usurping parental authority.
State Epidemiologist Eddy Bresnitz said that while he embraces the
new recommendations, New Jersey has no plans to make them mandatory.
Bresnitz, however, said he sends out an annual letter through schools
encouraging parents to have their children im munized against the flu
and will mention the CDC recommendations next fall.
Sue Collins, who co-founded the anti-vaccine advocacy group New
Jersey Alliance for Informed Choice, called the CDC’s new “blanket”
recommendation for pediatric flu shots a bad idea.
“I think the risks and side ef fects and unproven safety and effi
cacy studies do not warrant this,” said Collins, a mother of two who
lives in Long Hill. “The biggest thing is there is no data on how all
these vaccines react with each other.”
State and federal health officials, as well as most doctors, be lieve
the flu vaccine is safe for children, but many parents have raised
objections about the fact it contains thimerosal, a mercury-
containing organic compound used as a preservative in some multi-dose
vials of vaccine.
But there is flu vaccine doctors can order that is free of the
preservative, although it costs slightly more than the traditional
vaccine. Children, starting at 24 months, also have the option of
receiving a flu nasal spray instead of a shot.
The United States Government has given itself the authority to declare a pandemic (at any time) and require mandatory universal
forced vaccination under Patriot I, Patriot II, Bio Shield I, Bio Shield II, Bio Shield III and various Homeland Security Directives, Executive Orders and Signing Statements. Under these Acts and authorizations you may be (legally) subjected to experimental drugs – drugs which have no track record at all – without any informed consent rights, without right of refusal (unless you are willing to go to a quarantine center for an indefinite period of time) so it is now more important than ever that the real truth about vaccines be widely and quickly disseminated. There are reported to be more than 200 new vaccines “in the pipelineâ€. If they, along with the ones in use now, are not safe, we, and our children, are not safe.
All of us have been carefully conditioned to believe that vaccines are safe. But the truth is ugly and more than a little frightening. Here are the cold, hard facts:
Cold, Hard Fact # 1: Vaccines are not safe: vaccines are dangerous. The evidence is abundant that the tragic cost of loading babies and children up with toxic brews of mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, injected foreign protein, stealth viruses and, in the second generation vaccines, the deadly immune enhancer squalene, is unacceptably high. Lives are ruined and lost in these children when toxins overwhelm their immune systems and brains and cause tragic, totally preventable suffering and death. Autism(occurring in 4 children per 10,000 when I graduated from medical school in 1970) now afflicts a minimum of 1 child in 168 in the US. Children have not changed: the poisons we give them have. Gulf War Syndrome, a pervasive, progressive, deadly auto-immune disease afflicting over half a million US veterans, appears to be a deadly vaccine reaction to an experimental vaccine (Anthrax) which the US used on soldiers without their consent in clear violation of the Helsinki Declaration and the Nuremberg Protocols, international conventions and agreements which prohibit human experimentation without fully informed consent. Vaccinated people come down with the diseases they are supposedly vaccinated against with astonishing frequency.
The concept of informed consent, is, of course, is meaningless in the face of compulsory vaccination with secret ingredients and no manufacturer accountability.
Contaminants make vaccines tremendously dangerous. Swine flu (for a pandemic which never materialized) was contaminated with polio virus in 1976. Over 45 million Americans were vaccinated in just 77 days and although there were only 6 cases of Swine
flu in the entire country the vaccine reportedly caused at least 565 cases of polio paralysis (renamed “Guillain-Barre Syndrome†for the occasion), 60 deaths and other serious problems, including blindness and impotence. (There is no reason to feel reassured
because this particular disaster occurred in the past: every flu vaccine is capable of passing along Guillain-Barre (polio) and other unsuspected viral diseases.)
In February, 2008, the CDC announced that the seasonal flu vaccine being pushed, and required, of children, adults and the elderly was strikingly ineffective, missing more than 60% of the viruses circulating this flu season. That did not stop them, States, schools, hospitals, the New York City Department of Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics and myriad other “Health” organizations from continuing to insist on its use, despite its well characterized dangers.
Cold, Hard Fact # 2: Vaccines have not eradicated diseases: vaccines spread diseases. Attenuated viruses (infective, weakened versions of the dangerous ones) are commonly used in vaccines so that your body will develop an immune ‘memory’ for that virus. The next time your immune system meets that specific virus, it rapidly combats it by producing large numbers of antibodies. This practice and theory derive from the dawn of vaccination: Edward Jenner’s pioneering use of cowpox pus inoculations to eliminate
smallpox. This innovative and surprising medical treatment is touted as one of the triumphs of modern medicine. It makes a wonderful story but, in fact, inoculation not only spread smallpox, it caused well-documented epidemics of syphilis and leprosy in
inoculated people, especially babies (who have immature immune systems). In spite of the documented associated dangers of leprosy, syphilis, smallpox, death and blindness, England provided free vaccination in 1840, made it compulsory in 1853, and punished
lack of vaccination with seizure of property and imprisonment in 1857 (which should sound familiar). It took a British Royal Commission some 41 years more to put a stop to the deaths and disease that Jenner’s unproven technique caused. Finally, in 1898,
England’s compulsory smallpox vaccination laws were overturned.
In 1854, the first year of British compulsory vaccination, deaths from syphilis in infants under 1 year increased by 50% and continued to rise steadily after that. In 1802 Jenner was paid 10,000 pounds by the House of Commons. Shortly afterwards, it became clear
that vaccines did not work. Rather than lose face, the House of Commons granted Jenner another 20,000 pounds in 1807 and 3,000 pounds a year thereafter.
Jenner knew that milk maids who milked with active pus-filled sores on their hands transmitted pox to their cows. Local superstition held that the cow’s pus was a preventive against small pox. Jennings learned from a local farmer, Benjamin Jestey, that he had inoculated his wife and 3 children with cowpox pus by jabbing them with a darning needle and they did not contract small pox. Jenner assumed that this meant they were protected against smallpox. To the modern ear this is absurd. In Jenner’s day, neither methodology nor the scientific method were part of the culture.
Jenner, a village apothecary who purchased a University of Edinburgh MD for 15 pounds, was a showman who made much of his “discovery†and hastened to induce Sarah Nelmes, a young milk maid with a fresh lesion on her finger, to allow him to collect pus from her sore. He inoculated an 8 year old named James Phipps who developed a fever and a pustule on his skin. Seventeen days later he inoculated the boy again, this time with small pox. Since the boy did not develop smallpox, Jenner concluded that “protection was completeâ€.
Jenner hawked his inoculation but people started to complain because they were developing smallpox (and syphilis) after vaccination with Jenner’s cowpox. Jenner switched to infected material from horses’ heels instead (“Horse-greaseâ€). John Baker, the child he inoculated with horse-grease, however, died before he could expose him to small pox. Undeterred, he inoculated 6 more children, including James Phipps, with horse-grease and was so convinced that the results would be positive that he rushed to London to publish them before there were any results. The [untested] “success†of James Phipps’ inoculation and his London paper established Jenner’s method and his success. Revolted by the idea of horse-grease inoculations, people demanded cowpox inoculations again. Jenner
complied.
But just what is cow pox? In tropical countries it is cutaneous smallpox plus leprosy (a non-lethal disease often present along with leprosy) while in more moderate climates the milk maids were transferring syphilis to the cattle along with their cutaneous smallpox.
Jenner was making his brew from the cowpox pus and the results were nothing short of disastrous for untold numbers of people.
Modern small pox vaccines are produced in much the same way: lesions are induced on the skin of calves and, after they are “sacrificed†[and sold for veal?], the harvested material from their lesions is cultured in eggs and prepared as vaccines.
However, although immunity fails to develop more than 80% of the time, serious side effects are distressingly common from the modern small pox vaccines: At least 52 people out of every million will have life threatening events and 1-2 will die. Permanent damage to heart, brain, skin and GI effects are also well known side effects. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) notes that serious side effects and dangers probably occur much more often since many people can be harmed by live virus vaccines: immune compromised people (on steroids, with eczema or psoriasis, nursing babies, pregnant women and their fetuses, people with HIV/AIDS, transplant patients, chemotherapy and radiation patients, people with auto-immune diseases, young children, asthmatics, etc.) are at serious risk for contracting the same disease that the inoculation is designed to prevent or worse.
In the US, the CDC classifies more than 60 million people as immune compromised. People who are re-inoculated after many years are particularly susceptible to severe and life threatening reactions. Those who are ill are likely to develop sever effects as well.
In fact, Tommy Thompson, former Health and Human Services boss, said that he would not take the vaccine although the US is stock piling “a dose of smallpox vaccine with every American’s name on itâ€. Perhaps the one with his name has been changed so it
reads, “To Whom It May Concernâ€.
Emergency vaccinations for a Homeland Security emergency, that is, a pandemic, will allow absolutely no exemptions
for medical conditions or personal conviction. None.
Dr. Mike Lane, former director of the CDC’s so-called “smallpox eradication program†in the 1970’s, is a proponent of mass vaccination with no exemptions saying, “Medical contraindications would not apply… there would be NO exceptions. [In India] I’m sure that we killed a few people, but we did the best that we could….If the person is exposed there will be no exemptions, medical or otherwise.â€
When a live virus is used in the vaccine, infective virus is shed for anywhere from 4 to 21 days (or more) and, during that time, inoculated persons can give the disease, or the side effects of the inoculation, to any vulnerable person they come into contact with.
So, while it may be true that vaccines have spread disease, isn’t it true that vaccines have eliminated the epidemic diseases of the past? No, actually they have not. Neither Jenner’s cowpox inoculation nor modern smallpox inoculation did anything to eliminate
smallpox (quite the contrary). The fact is, Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell discovered that smallpox is transmitted by the flying bedbug, Cimex lectularius, and that eliminating this parasitic insect from human habitation eliminates smallpox, too. Personal hygiene and
better housekeeping eliminated the deadly scourge. (Dr. Campbell also discovered that the disfiguring pocks of the disease could be prevented by a diet high in Vitamin C.)
When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the planet “smallpox free†in 1980, they did so administratively, not medically: small pox incidence was reduced, but not gone, despite nearly universal vaccination. What to do? WHO solved the problem
cleverly: they renamed the disease “cowpox†and “monkey poxâ€. Shazam: a smallpox free planet, quicker than you can say, “Junk Science!â€
Other epidemic diseases were in sharp decline at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries as a direct consequence of improved hygiene and other life-style changes. Measles, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Polio and Hepatitis B were all in sharp decline
long before vaccines were introduced. The contribution to the decline made by vaccines, however, was negligible or non-existent. Scarlet Fever, typhoid fever and cholera, for which inoculation either did not exist or was never wide-spread, declined on the same
sharp curve for the same reasons. So do we need inoculations because of the public health hazard? Despite the considerable hype, in fact, there is no unbiased evidence which connects disease prevention with inoculation.
Cold, Hard Fact # 3: Flu vaccines do not protect people from flu-related deaths. The CDC claims that an astonishing 36,000 people die from flu in an average year. But according to the former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, 68 people under 65 die from flu each year in the US. The truth i,440 people, mostly elderly, died from flu, no where near the CDC’s touted 144,000 deaths. While that figure is great for flu vaccine sales, it derivers not from reality but
from the CDC’s industry-friendly statistical trick of classifying all pneumonia-related deaths, despite any lack of evidence, as flu deaths. Discussing this nonsense, Lone Simonsen of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/NIH, writes in The
Archives of Internal Medicine “We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group. Because fewer than 10% of all winter deaths were attributable to influenza in any season, we conclude that observational
studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit.”1
Cold, Hard Fact # 4: Potential pandemic viral diseases like the Bird Flu do not have safe and effective vaccines to prevent them and there are no drugs to treat them effectively. Despite that fact, on September 15, 2005 the US purchased $100 Million of a French experimental flu vaccine designed to protect against bird flu. It’s so experimental, in fact, that although we have purchased megabucks worth of the stuff, the French manufacturer, Sanofi-Pasteur, is planning to experiment with adjutants (immune response enhancers) to rev up human response to it. Perhaps the adjuvant is the same one that the Army used in the deadly Vaccine A against anthrax: squalene. The purchase is real, but there is currently no such thing as a vaccine for pandemic bird flu. None the less, the US has announced recently that it has stock piled enough “Avian Flu Vaccine” to inoculate every man, woman and child in America. With what? Against what?
Unfortunately, even if vaccines did work (they don’t) and were safe (they’re not), a virus has to actually exist before you can make a vaccine that can control the disease. The pandemic version of the latest bird flu does not yet exist. Vaccines are very specific: they
train the immune system to make antibodies to a particular protein sequence. Because those antibodies are highly specific, guessing wrong on which flu strain is coming soon to a droplet near you has led to an embarrassing history, year after year, of ineffective flu
shots against the wrong strain of virus. People developed side effects, but the shots did not ward off the flu since the vaccine misfired with regard to the virus it was supposed to be protecting people against. And, oh by the way, experimental vaccines are not even
alleged to be safe. No one knows what effects they will have. Now that the FDA, the Courts and Congress have relieved vaccine and drug manufacturers from any consumer liability whatsoever once their product has been approved by the FDA for any use whatsoever, the entire question of receiving compensation from a manufacturer for vaccine damage is moot. Vaccine damage is an uninsurable risk because no insurance underwriter in the world wants to bet that you (or your child) will NOT be damaged by the vaccines tampering with your immune, neurological and other systems. The US has paid out over 2 billion dollars through its Vaccine Injury Compensation system and recently announced in a concession that vaccines could have precipitated the autism in a child who received 9 shots on one day and then collapsed into autism. Another 49,000 cases making their way through the same Court system may be settled in the same way because of this decision. But if the damage is not autism, but, for instance, encephalitis, cancer, sterility or death, there is no system of compensation for you.
Allegedly, the bird flu pandemic version has not yet mutated and therefore does not exist so there is no way whatsoever to make a vaccine against it. Not even the US Government can make a vaccine against an imaginary virus. But that is just what the government
wants us to believe they can do. Clearly, the French experimental flu vaccine purchase is a political, not a public health one. IF the bird flu mutates and becomes pandemic, it would take between 4 and 18 months to gear up to make commercial quantities of the vaccine.1 (http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/165/3/265) In the meantime, anyone getting the bird flu and surviving it would have natural antibodies to the disease. But right now, unless the already-mutated pandemic H5N1 virus is being stock-piled in a laboratory for convenient release at an opportune moment
(which is certainly possible), the virus needed to make a real bird flu vaccine exists only in fearful imagination. So what would the government inoculate you with? Who knows? A nanochip to track you, perhaps? The technology exists. An experimental drug, maybe? Something that someone wants to test on huge numbers of people whether they like it or not? An FDA approved sterility vaccine already used in sub Saharan Africa by the WHO and in South and Central America? Squalene? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Only the government would know. You won’t.
The US government has set itself above the law and beyond investigation. Consider: the anthrax vaccine currently being tested on US 2nd and 3rd graders contains squalene. The experiment is therefore not about anthrax (the vaccine is only approved for cutaneous anthrax, a non- life threatening disease highly unlikely to be used, therefore, as a bio-weapon) but rather about what happens to children given a deadly substance which stimulates their immune systems to destroy their bodies over time. After World War II, the managers of IG Farben, the vast German industrial combine, were imprisoned for Crimes Against Humanity for precisely this kind of activity. Who will be convicted this time? The head
of the FDA? The Secretary of Homeland Security? The Secretary of Health and Human Services? On what secret evidence? This is what the US government/pharmaceutical cabal is setting up in full view of the public and of Congress under the false flag of Homeland Security. Can you imagine what would happen if there were no public scrutiny at all and no legal liability for any ill deeds whatsoever? Only if you can imagine medical fascism – and it is no dream.
Under the banner of Homeland Security the US government has established a medical Gestapo. It has given itself the power to initiate a medical marshal law from which the only escapes would be prison, death, fleeing the country or rebellion.
Vaccines are unscientific (but highly profitable), dangerous and forced vaccinations represent a violation of personal self determination and the inalienable rights enumerated by the Declaration of Independence: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
