Congressional investigation of the NEUROTOXIC adjuvants, excipients, and growth medium in vaccines and vaccinations, e.g., mercury--a hazmat (Thimerosal), formaldehyde--an EPA-declared carcinogen, aluminum--a neurotoxin damaging the brain and central nervous system, polysorbate 80--induces sterility in lab rats, MSG--an excitotoxin that excites brain glial cells so much so that they can self-destruct, aborted fetal (diploid) cells, plus foreign species DNA (pig, chick, monkey, insect) and numerous other ingredients that are causing severe health damage to infants, toddlers, teens (HPV vaccines), adults, and senior citizens. All this, plus peer review research, charts, and government documents, is documented in the 120-page monograph Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional Investigation that will be provided to you and the health committees of the 112th Congress. The cost of USA healthcare directly is impacted by the health damage these vaccines are producing, especially in young children. Congress must investigate vaccines per se and their toxic ingredients that are combined (8 or more antigens/diseases in one vaccination) that damages 4-month and 6-month old infants brains, central nervous system, and overall long range health. Many vaccines are linked to the precipitous rise in childhood diabetes. Congress must do something about poisons and toxins in vaccines that are mandated to be injected into children starting at BIRTH. I am the editor of Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional Investigation. I'd be pleased to meet with you and staffers in Washington, DC. Thank you for reading this and giving it consideration.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional Investigation 1

~~~Introduction~~~

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Thomas Jefferson, author, U.S. Declaration of Independence

Thomas Jefferson, in writing the Declaration of Independence, definitively set forth conditions when mankind should “declare the causes that impel them” to an action. There is no more basic reason for action than to oppose suppression of basic rights under Natural Law, e.g., one’s right to the sanctity of one’s body and the care of that body, including keeping it free of poisonous and toxic chemicals. Our founding documents declare unalienable “Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” as well as a right of private property. Nothing is more basic to liberty and private property than one’s own body. If we do not even possess the property of our own body, then where is our liberty and how are we free? We have documented in this monograph the cause to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God is not exempt under the Declaration of Independence. That cause is the mandated injection of toxic and poisonous chemicals, adjuvants, excipients, growth media, and neurotoxins in vaccines into infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens under the guise of vaccine science. This is the manipulated story of toxic vaccines from peer-reviewed journals, the mainstream press and media, which begs a special investigation by Congress of vaccines per se. The monograph is a call to action by our elected legislators to pursue a thorough investigation of vaccine safety. We are convinced that government agencies charged with ensuring this have been derelict in their duty. We documented here through respected research—often from our own government—that there are serious safety issues with vaccines, many of which have been concealed. We are witnessing a marked escalation of an increasingly aggressive international vaccination program that the data demonstrate is undermining the health and future of the world’s children and population. As we see it, this vaccine agenda is not driven by health but rather by corporate gain primarily among the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Many good people down the line, who are carrying out that agenda, are operating with misleading, censored, or deliberately skewed scientific data and health information. We have learned about the falsity within, errors, greed, and resultant dangers posed by those corporations producing vaccines and medications from professionals in the know, including Marcia Angell, MD, and professor Donald W. Light, PhD. During two decades as editor of the prestigious The New England Journal of Medicine, Doctor Angell experienced ‘up-close and personal’ such appalling behavior on the part of the


pharmaceutical industry that she authored a virtual exposé titled, The Truth About the Drug Companies—How They Deceive Us, and What to Do About It. More recently, Professor Light, who edited the book The Risks of Prescription Drugs, takes us to a new level of understanding of how our health and safety are being compromised by falsified science, agencies run amok, and clever industry marketing. In two other well argued, erudite books, Global Censorship of Health Information and The Rise of Tyranny—How Federal Agencies Abuse Power and Pose Risks to Your Life and Liberty, authored by a brilliant constitutional attorney, Jonathan Emord shows how frighteningly lawless some of our regulatory agencies have become. Emord tells us, “…FDA refuses to honor five decisions holding its censorship unconstitutional.” 1

An attorney in the FDA Chief Counsel’s office regarding a court order to FDA made this really shocking statement, “Jonathan, the FDA will never abide by the Pearson decision.” 2 Despite Jonathan’s noting it was a final and binding decision—an order of the court—the FDA attorney said, “That may be so, but I am telling you the FDA will never abide by that court decision, never, ever.” 3 Emord tells us, “His words pierced to the very core of my being. Here was an agency’s legal officer telling me that the agency was, intentionally, lawless.” 4

The ever-expanding vaccine program, considered by many as being implicated in the rapid rise in rates of autism and other chronic diseases, especially in children, is now heavily funded and promoted by governments around the world. Vaccines have rapidly become both a health and a liberty issue as mandates attempt to make vaccines a condition of employment and school attendance. Even more alarming is the legal use of ‘failure to vaccinate’ as the basis for parental abuse cases resulting in state removal of children from parents’ custody. The American public is frightened for their children and our country’s future health and financial burdens that may be contributed to, or caused by toxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media in vaccines. The purpose of this monograph is to acquaint members of Congress and the public with the toxic ingredients in vaccines; call for a congressional investigation of vaccines per se; to serve as evidence of toxic chemicals and neurotoxins in vaccines, and finally, to elicit change in the production of vaccines.

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

& Vaccine Damage Awards

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services HRSA division (Health Resources and Services Administration) held a public meeting of the FDA’s Advisory Committee on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) in Rockville, Maryland, September 2-3, 2010, at which several charts were distributed. The chart below “NVICP Statistics Report as of Thursday, September 02, 2010” indicates just how pervasive and costly vaccine damage actually IS in dollars and cents. Petitioners’ Award Amounts for fiscal years 1989 thru 2010 totaled almost Two Billion Dollars ($1,938,523,762.48) representing 2,503 awards. Attorneys’ Fees/Costs Payments totaled over an additional Seventy-two Million Dollars ($72,670,865.82). In excess of an additional Forty-six Million Dollars ($46,424,411.60) was paid out for Attorneys’ Fees/Costs Payments, which probably represented an additional 2,293 claims that were dismissed. The total outlay was a grand total of $2,057,619,039.90! These awards validate that vaccine damage does happen—and continues to happen—and much more than Big Pharma acknowledges or the media reports, sadly. These figures represent only a FRACTION of damages that rightfully should be paid to families that suffered vaccine-induced damages. Thousands, maybe a million or more families, are left with life-long-damaged children and medical bills that will be overwhelmingly expensive and probably not compensated for. Just imagine if there were over two thousand product injuries from automobiles, baby cribs, or food salmonella poisonings! What would congress do about them? Vaccine damage is no different. Vaccines and their health-damaging toxins need to be investigated. This is another valid reason for congress to investigate vaccines per se.

GlaxoSmithKline Whistleblower Exposé on 60 Minutes GlaxoSmithKline is a major producer of vaccines. Would you trust your child’s mandatory vaccines/vaccinations to this company's products—and their vaccines, in particular––after watching this unbelievable story on 60 Minutes, Dec. 29, 2010? Excerpts from Transcript [Cheryl] Eckard worked in Glaxo quality control and over ten years she had risen to become a manager of global quality assurance. Her job was to inspect plants to make sure that the drugs had the right ingredients, the right potency and met government standards for purity.

In 2002, Eckard was assigned to help lead a quality assurance team to evaluate one of Glico’s most important plants, in Cidra, Puerto Rico. Nine hundred people worked there, making 20 drugs for patients in the U.S. But Eckard says that when she saw what was happening to some of the company's most popular drugs, she couldn't believe it. "All the systems were broken, the facility was broken, the equipment was broken, and the processes were broken. It was the worst thing I had run across in my career," she told "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pulley.

Eckard says she discovered…that powerful medications were getting mixed up. "Are you saying that different kinds of drugs were packed into the same bottle?" Pulley asked. "Yes. And that's shocking," she replied.

Eckard says a chart that she produced for company executives shows the kinds of mix-ups that were happening at Cidra. She identified nine, including Avanti diabetes pills mixed in packages with over-the-counter Tag met antacids and Paxil antidepressants, and mixed with the Avanti diabetes drug." “I contacted the vice president of quality for North America and I told him that he needed to shut down the factory and call the FDA," "I urged him to stop the trucks that were leaving the dock that day." "I went back to work and waited for the news that they had called the FDA or that they had stopped shipments, and it didn't happen." Eckard says as the mix-ups continued, a pharmacist called the company with a story about a mix-up involving the powerful antidepressant Paxil in its ten milligram dose. The patient was an eight-year-old boy. "A grandmother came in to pick up this little boy's prescription. And in front of the pharmacist, she opened up the bottle. She tore off the induction seal. And she looked at it. And she became upset. And she said, 'I knew it. His medicine has always been yellow. But last month, it was pink. And he's been so sick,'" Eckard said…"Paxil ten milligram is yellow. It's not pink," Eckard explained.

Glaxo pleaded guilty to a felony. It admitted it distributed "adulterated drugs Paxil CR, Avandamet (a diabetes drug), Kytril (a drug given to cancer patients), and Bactroban." All together, the company paid $750 million to settle the criminal conviction and Eckard's suit.” “The plant at Cidra is closed.” Glaxo Whistle-Blower Lawsuit: Bad Medicine - 60 Minutes - CBS News-Dec. 29, 2010 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/29/60minutes/main7195247.shtml


Autism Spectrum Disorder: Is There A Vaccine Connection?

When Dr. Leo Kanner, who first identified autism in 1938, wrote a book about his work he did not mention autism per se because it apparently was so rare. For a long time autism was thought to be a genetic disorder. Currently scientific studies attribute autism to environmental causes and/or toxins, specifically neurotoxins. Before 1980 only one in 10,000 children was diagnosed with autism. Rett syndrome, a rare form of the autism spectrum, affects little girls between 6 and 18 months, whereas little boys are four times more likely to contract some aspect of the autism syndrome. In 1985, infants received four vaccinations that contained thimerosal. In 1991, when the rate of autism began to increase, infants were receiving eleven vaccinations containing thimerosal. http://www.googobits.com/articles/p2-923-the-links-between-autism-and-vaccinations.html FDA concern A new scientific study emerged in early 1990 that confirmed a link between thimerosal, a mercury compound used in childhood vaccines, and neurological damage. The CDC’s epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten said, “We have found statistically significant relationships between exposure [to mercury in vaccines] and outcomes. At two months of age, developmental delay; exposure at three months, tics; at six months, attention deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six months, language and speech delays—the entire category of neurodevelopmental delays.” Verstraeten also discussed previous studies showing a link between mercury and neurodevelopmental disorders. [Emphasis added]

The Simpsonwood Meeting Clearly, CDC was concerned and called a meeting of 52 participants from CDC, FDA, top vaccine specialists from the World Health Organization, and representatives from every major vaccine manufacturer. All information and papers, etc. from the meeting were embargoed. The upshot of what is known as the Simpsonwood Meeting was that 52 vaccine proponents spent two days calculating how to cover up the fact that there was a link/connection between thimerosal/mercury and autism spectrum disorder. The official CDC title for that meeting is Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information. For full documentation of the Simpsonwood Meeting in this monograph, please read the section titled The Simpsonwood Meeting Report at page 9. What is Thimerosal? Thimerosal is a preservative that has been used in some vaccines since the 1930's, when it was first introduced by Eli Lilly Company. It is 49.6% mercury by weight and is metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. …. Mercury [Hg] is a neurotoxin per CDC and EPA. It is a HazMat: hazardous waste. As a vaccine preservative, thimerosal is used in concentrations of 0.003% to 0.01%. A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a preservative contains 50 micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 ml dose or approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose. Note: This is 30 times the amount that EPA considers ‘safe’ for adults.


….Some vaccines such as Td [tetanus and diphtheria],which is indicated for older children (≥ 7 years of age) and adults, are also now available in formulations that are free of thimerosal or contain only trace amounts. Vaccines with trace amounts of thimerosal contain 1 microgram or less of mercury per dose. http://www.immunize.org/thimerosal/ Routinely, almost every vaccine has some trace amount of thimerosal. Mercury in dental fillings & WHO’s approach December 14, 2010 Washington, DC /PRNewswire-USNewswire While FDA Reviews Amalgam Risks, NGO Applauds WHO 'Phase Down'

Mercury is a persistent, bioaccumulative toxin and can be transformed in the environment from dental offices into methylmercury,(vi) its most toxic form, which readily passes through both the placenta and blood-brain barriers. It accumulates in the bodies of humans and wildlife and can become more concentrated as it moves up the food chain, and poses a particular risk to pregnant women and young children who eat contaminated fish. … On a parallel track, the World Health Organization is expected to soon final [sic] its meeting report on "Future Use of Materials for Dental Restorations"(iii) in preparation for the upcoming Intergovernmental Negotiations Committee deliberations that are expected to lead to the adoption of a legally binding instrument on mercury by 2013. Apparently mercury [Hg] is considered toxic everywhere EXCEPT in vaccines! Since FDA contends there is no connection between neurotoxic mercury and health anomalies, it is incumbent upon members of Congress to investigate vaccines per se, ALL their neurotoxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media.

ASD [Autism Spectrum Disorder] in the United States According to the CDC, If 4 million children are born in the United States every year, approximately 36,500 children will eventually be diagnosed with an ASD [Autism Spectrum Disorder]. Assuming the prevalence rate has been constant over the past two decades, we can estimate that about 730,000 individuals between the ages of 0 to 21 have an ASD. …. About 40% of children with an ASD do not talk at all. Another 25%–30% of children with autism have some words at 12 to 18 months of age and then lose them. Others may speak, but not until later in childhood. …. Studies have shown that about one third of parents of children with an ASD noticed a problem before their child’s first birthday, and 80% saw problems by 24 months. http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html

Note the vaccination schedule for infants per CDC to understand why parents observe problems before the child’s first birthday:

1. Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB). (Minimum age: birth) 2. Rotavirus vaccine (RV). (Minimum age: 6 weeks) 3. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP). 4. Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (Hib). (Minimum age: 6 weeks). 5. Pneumococcal vaccine. (Minimum age: 6 weeks for pneumococcal conjugate vaccine [PCV]; 2 years for pneumococcal 6. Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) (Minimum age: 6 weeks) 7. Influenza vaccine (seasonal). (Minimum age: 6 months for trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine [TIV]; 2 years for live,)


8. Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR). (Minimum age: 12 months) 9. Varicella vaccine. (Minimum age: 12 months) 10. Hepatitis A vaccine (HepA). (Minimum age: 12 months) 11. Meningococcal vaccine. (Minimum age: 2 years for meningococcal conjugate vaccine [MCV4] and for meningococcal

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2010/10_0-6yrs-schedule-pr.pdf

Financial Costs of Autism Individuals with an ASD had average medical expenditures that exceeded those without an ASD by $4,110–$6,200 per year. On average, medical expenditures for individuals with an ASD were 4.1–6.2 times greater than for those without an ASD. Differences in median expenditures ranged from $2,240 to $3,360 per year with median expenditures 8.4–9.5 times greater. http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html

What else is in vaccines that can cause ASD? Because there are so many toxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media that are used in the manufacture of vaccines—most of which are neurotoxins confirmed either by CDC or EPA—a virtual ‘soup’ of neurotoxins is injected into infants within hours of birth (Hepatitis B Birth Vaccine) to the mandatory two-, four-, and six-month vaccinations. For a seven-page listing of Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary in this monograph, please see Scientific Fallacies and How They Relate to Toxic Vaccine Adjuvants. Aluminum Increasingly, more and more aluminum is being added to vaccines as an‘effective’ adjuvant to activate an immune response. Aluminum is a neurotoxin, is toxic to the brain, which has been known to science since 1911. Aluminum triggers brain inflammation and excitotoxicity, which may be the cause of many cases of what’s referred to as Shaken Baby Syndrome: Parents legally are charged with child abuse whereas the real culprit is a brain adverse reaction and/or hemorrhage and swelling from the excitotoxicity of aluminum and/or a combination mixture of toxic adjuvants. Furthermore, aluminum can combine in the brain with glutamate [naturally occurring or ingested] to cause an adverse reaction that impedes brain functions or causes brain swelling. Aluminum load in vaccines Here are the aluminum loads in some vaccines: DtaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) [each 0.5 mL dose] 625 mcg Hepatitis B [each 0.5 mL dose] 375 mcg Hepatitis A [each 0.5 mL dose] 250 mcg Hib (haemophilus influenza type B) [each 0.5 mL dose] 225 mcg HPV (human papillomarirus) [each 0.5 mL dose] 225 mcg PVC (pneumococcal [pneumonia] conjugate vaccine) [each 0.5 mL dose] 125 mcg Aluminum in the body There is a monumental physiological difference between aluminum eaten as in a baby formula or as a preservative from food processing that transits through the digestive system and aluminum injected via vaccination into the bloodstream. The aluminum absorption rate via the gut is about 25 percent efficient, i.e., absorption, whereas via hypodermic injection, it is close to 100 percent absorption, which causes brain


anomalies, since it is a neurotoxin.

"Another important factor with regard to mercury on the mind, which officials at the CDC, FDA and the professors in the IOM [Institute of Medicine] do not consider, is synergistic toxicity (refer to: http://www.talkinternational.com/health/report_on_mercury_toxicity_bh_050803.htm) – mercury’s enhanced effect when other poisons are present. A small dose of mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats, when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1 percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there. Vaccines contain aluminum.” [Emphasis added] Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD. Mercury on the Mind. http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller14.html

Also refer to A.J. Shubert, E. Riley, & S. Tyler. “Combined Effects in Toxicology—A Rapid Systemic Testing Procedure: Cadmium, Mercury and Lead.” J.Toxicology and Environmental Health v4, p763, 1978.

Other devastating effects However, there is another aspect to aluminum that is even more devastating: It enhances the detrimental effects of other toxins in the body, which can include mercury/thimerosal received during multiple-dose vaccinations, lead, fluoride from drinking water, plus pesticides and/or herbicides in foods such as GMO Roundup-Ready® soy baby formula, GMO Bt-corn, GMO canola oil, GMO yellow squash, GMO zucchini, and other food processing additives made from GMO soy and corn since these GMO foods are ubiquitous in the USA food supply.

The Simpsonwood Meeting Report The Simpsonwood Conference: Mercury-Autism Coverup! by Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 9:57am http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=188274776746

In June 2000, a top-secret meeting of health officials and government scientists occurred at the secluded Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened the meeting, no public announcement was made of the gathering. Just 52 private invitations were issued. Participants included high-level officials from the CDC, FDA, top vaccine specialists from the World Health Organization, and representatives from every major vaccine manufacturer, including Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the participants were repeatedly warned that the scientific data under discussion was “embargoed.” Note-taking and photocopies of documents were strictly prohibited. No papers could leave the room. The federal health officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss an alarming new study that confirmed a link between thimerosal (mercury) in childhood vaccines and neurological damage, including recent dramatic increases in autistic spectrum disorders. Tom Verstraeten, a CDC epidemiologist, had analyzed the agency’s massive Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) database (distinct from VAERS) containing thousands of medical records of vaccinated children and was “stunned” by what he saw: “We have found statistically significant relationships between exposure [to mercury in vaccines] and outcomes. At two months of age, developmental delay; exposure at three months, tics; at six months, attention deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six months, language and speech delays—the entire category of neurodevelopmental delays.” Verstraeten also discussed previous studies showing a link between mercury and neurodevelopmental disorders. Since 1991, when the CDC and FDA started requiring newborn infants to receive multiple doses of thimerosal-laced hepatitis B vaccines, thimerosal-laced haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccines, and the already mandated thimerosal-laced diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shots (via DPT and DTaP), cases of autism skyrocketed. Dr. Bill Weil, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), told the group, “You can play with this all you want,” but the results “are statistically significant.” Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician, exclaimed, “I do not want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on.” Yet, instead of taking quick action to warn parents and recall the unsafe shots, this shameless group of 52 vaccine proponents spent the next two days calculating how to cover up the truth. “We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits,” said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician. However, Dr. Robert Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, congratulated his group for their apparent success thus far at concealing the facts, and expressed relief that “given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, let’s say, less responsible hands.” Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor, was more blunt, declaring that perhaps the CDC study “should


not have been done at all because the outcome could have, to some extent, been predicted.” He stated that “the research results have to be handled,” and warned that the study “will be taken by others and used in ways beyond the control of this group.” How to “handle” undesirable scientific data: At the Simpsonwood gathering, a plot was hatched. To begin, the CDC relinquished control of its vast database on childhood vaccines—the very same database Tom Verstraeten used to confirm a link between thimerosal-laced vaccines and autism. Although the VSD database was public property—developed at taxpayer expense—it was turned over to a private health insurance agency, ensuring that it could not be accessed by non-collaborators for additional research. Three years later, Verstraeten had reworked the data and published a new version of his original study in the November 2003 issue of Pediatrics. However, this time “no consistent significant associations were found between thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental outcomes.” [Dr. Mark Geier, an independent scientist, eventually gained access to the VSD data. His findings were published in a recent issue of the Journal of the Neurological Sciences.] After the Simpsonwood gathering, the CDC also instructed the Institute of Medicine (IOM), i.e., the National Academy of Sciences, to produce a new study with contrived results: no correlation between thimerosal and brain disorders. According to Dr. Marie McCormick, who chaired the IOM’s Immunization Safety Review Committee in January 2001, the CDC “wants us to declare, well, that these things are pretty safe.” In fact, “we are not ever going to come down that [autism] is a true side effect” of thimerosal. In transcripts of the meeting, the committee’s chief staffer, Kathleen Stratton, predicted that the IOM would conclude that the evidence was “inadequate to accept or reject a causal relation” between thimerosal and autism. Apparently, that was what “Walt wants”—a reference to Dr. Walter Orenstein, director of the CDC’s National Immunization Program. To complete the deception, the CDC would need additional “proof” that thimerosal-laced vaccines are safe. They never intended to conduct honest science; rather, their goal was to establish a plausible defense, insulate manufacturers against liability, while producing justification for continuing mandatory vaccine campaigns. For example, in May 2001, Dr. Gordon Douglas, then-director of strategic planning for vaccine research at the National Institutes of Health, assured a Princeton University gathering that “four current studies are taking place to rule out the proposed link between autism and thimerosal.” Furthermore, “in order to undo the harmful effects of research claiming to link the [measles] vaccine to an elevated risk of autism, we need to conduct and publicize additional studies to assure parents of safety.” Douglas formerly served as president of vaccinations for Merck. The Simpsonwood gathering places all CDC-sponsored research into question. Although this civic institution was originally entrusted with a lofty mandate to protect our children, it has degenerated into a private arm of the pharmaceutical industry. The CDC has lost its ethical bearings and cannot be trusted to objectively oversee scientific studies whose outcomes affect the health and welfare of our youngest, most innocent members of


society. Who is looking after our children—the brain-trust of our future—if policy trumps science, and profits trump safety? “The CDC is guilty of incompetence and gross negligence” says Mark Blaxill, vice president of Safe Minds, a nonprofit organization concerned about mercury in medicines. “The damage caused by vaccine exposure is massive. It’s bigger than asbestos, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything you’ve ever seen.” [Emphasis added] Source: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=188274776746

Special Note to members of Congress: The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) that was developed by taxpayer dollars and turned over to a private health insurance agency for ‘safe keeping’ to prevent other researchers from accessing the data, MUST be subpoenaed and examined by Congress with its contents made PUBLIC since the public owns that data, which may provide important statistical information and/or linkages. Supposedly data from Vaccine Safety Datalink can be found on the Internet on a site which cautions one that it could ruin your computer: http://www.iciautism.com/resources/pdf/ThimerosalExposureInfants&ND-AssessmentoftheVSD1.pdf?251d176328fa79dfd597b560e70ed649=eddaf0df31aafd1ed50445f3ec836f30 Furthermore, the Government Accountability Office should investigate the Simpsonwood vaccine data escapade for concealing and misappropriating statistical health data that health consumers have a vested interest in knowing.

Scientific Fallacies & How They Relate to Toxic Vaccine Adjuvants

To put the issue into proper perspective, we need to examine some previously accepted scientific and medical data that now are nothing more than laughable fallacies or treacherous human rights violations because of either more scientific understanding and/or research, and how that type of thinking relates to vaccines that are being forced on health care consumers under the guise of peer-reviewed science. #1 Flat World Theory (1492) Everyone back then knew if you sailed out so far on the ocean, you would fall off the face of the earth. Columbus proved you could find other people living in distant lands with interesting skin color, lives, habits, and food. #2 Earth Was the Center of the Universe (early 1600s) Galileo Galilei advocated the SUN, not the earth, was the center of the universe. Now that we know much more about astronomy and have been to the moon a few times, plus the Hubble telescope’s exquisite photos of outer space, there is speculation that there even may be more universes. #3 Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834)

The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the Medieval Inquisition which was under Papal control. The Inquisition was originally intended in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam. This regulation of the faith of the newly converted was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1501 ordering Jews and Muslims to convert or leave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

Currently in the USA many feel we have a Medical Inquisition enforced by governmental and state agencies who are financially supported by the ‘royal decrees’ of Big Pharma. That extremely blatant statement reflects what millions* of American health care consumers believe about being victimized by Big Pharma’s corporate governance and media influence to have everyone mandatorily vaccinated with vaccines that are not properly tested; are made with and include toxins and poisons; and are associated with raising the incidence of childhood diseases as never before experienced in recorded medical literature and/or history.

*A 2002 survey of US adults 18 years and older conducted by the National Center

for Health Statistics (CDC) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicated: 74.6% had used some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) ….62.1% had done so within the preceding twelve months. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine


#4 Margarine Prevents Heart Disease (1950s onward) Medical doctors bought into the food processing industry’s fairytales about a dangerous trans fat, margarine, and prescribed it to heart patients as a dietary preventive for fifty years, whereas in reality, margarine was causing heart disease. MayoClinic.com says, “Trans fat is double trouble for your heart health.” http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/trans-

fat/CL00032 Currently and nationwide, there are city council laws eliminating trans fats from restaurant foods. #5 Most Doctors Preferred Camels Cigarettes (Camel’s advertisements of the 1940s) Today every MD knows the health dangers of tobacco smoking and will do everything to help patients quit smoking. See the 1964 Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health. http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/NN/Views/Exhibit/narrative/smoking.html

#6 Nutrition Not Taught in Medical Schools In the mid-1980s, the National Academy of Sciences published a landmark report highlighting the lack of adequate nutrition education in medical schools; the writers recommended a minimum of 25 hours of nutrition instruction. Now, in a study published this month, [September 2010] it appears that even two and a half decades later a vast majority of medical schools still fail to meet the minimum recommended 25 hours of instruction. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/health/16chen.html

Vaccine Relationship to Fallacies Reading the above fallacies—only a half-dozen of hundreds that can be cited—

one readily understands how far science has come in most areas, including medicine, except one: vaccines, which has a ‘flat earth’ approach to the physiological repercussions of toxic ingredients and adjuvants used in their manufacture.

Repeatedly, FDA officials state that thimerosal, which contains mercury, is not implicated in vaccine damage. How unscientific is that when one vaccination can place thirty (30) times the ‘safe’ amount of mercury for an adult into the body of an infant or toddler?

Then there’s polysorbate 80, something that may be considered ‘innocuous’ by

FDA but clinical studies found causes health anomalies:

Polysorbate 80, also called Tween 80

This warning from the drugs.com website about one of the common vaccine ingredients tells us: Clinical studies have shown Darbepoetin Alfa (Polysorbate 80) to increase the risk of serious side effects (eg, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, heart failure) and death in some cases. It has also been shown to shorten overall survival and/or increase the risk of tumor growth or recurrence in patients with certain types of cancer. Read more: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/darbepoetin-alfa-polysorbate-80.html#ixzz0xOeBaGO4


Furthermore, how many communicable infectious diseases can a person, especially an infant, be exposed to in one day and then contract? Now consider that vaccinations inject up to eight (8) disease antigens into 4-month and 6-month-old, less than 25 pound, infants. What kind of reaction does an infant’s body—and in particular, central nervous system—experience?

Many believe the injection of so many disease antigens causes the immune system literally to malfunction from overload—too much of an immune response generated from toxic adjuvants. This monograph demonstrates that these injections are associated with children’s escalating disease patterns, especially autism, ADHD, ADD, and diabetes. There has to be a correlating factor in the trending pattern of younger children coming down with chronic, adult-type diseases.

That is the imperative issue why Congress must investigate how vaccines are manufactured and, in particular, the toxic adjuvants such as aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, formalin, foreign species DNA, and a listing seven (7) pages [1] long of excipients, adjuvants, and growth media that can cause and/or can be associated with immune response overload, severe adverse events as reported in VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), and long-term chronic diseases, e.g., diabetes and cancer. __________ 1 Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary / Excipients Included in US Licensed Vaccines: E-1 thru E-5; Vaccine-Production Media: E-6 & E-7 attached Source: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-1.pdf Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vaccines and Immunizations / Ingredients of Vaccines Fact Sheet http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm

H1N1 Vaccine Patented BEFORE Virus Appeared in Mexico

2009 H1N1 Vaccine Genes from swine H1N2 influenza virus circulating among the North America swine population in the 1990's, genes from H3N2 North American swine influenza, and genes from H1N1 Eurasian swine influenza all have similarity to portions of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus genome. The final reassortment of swine (Eurasian and North American), avian, and human influenza A genes may have occurred at a Mexican pig farm with spread of the new quadruple reassortment virus into the human population. Magill’s Medical Guide 6th edition: H1N1 Influenza Source: http://salempress.com/store/samples/magills_medical_guide_6/magills_medical_guide_6_h1n1.htm Question No. 1 What is the probability of swine, bird (avian), human, Eurasian and North American strains combining into one? Question No. 2 Furthermore, how could the pharmaceutical company Baxter International file for a patent for H1N1 flu vaccine on August 28, 2008 when the H1N1 virus DID NOT surface until April 2009 in Mexico and was termed the Swine or Mexican flu? Under patent number US 2009/0060950 A1 Baxter Pharmaceutical company know [sic] as Baxter Healthcare Corporation in the USA applied for and received a patent on the Swine Flu Vaccine for H1N1 and many other “swine” “bird” “human” virus diseases to come by the inventors of the swine viral vaccine from Austria. Initially they had commenced the patents in 2007 well before the outbreak of the swine flu virus.

In the chemical processes of the patent it is noted that the Carrier sleeve tank or removal of micro carriers includes Benzonase [a genetically engineered product which hydrolyzes nucleic acids], the addition of Formaldehyde. Also note the Tween 80 Stabilization process.

The reference to Tween 80 -which causes infertility and is disastrously dangerous to people causing anaphylactic shock and if you just consider what it can do to a fetus in a pregnant woman you would not take this vaccine. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, which is part of the United Nations, scientists from the organization are developing vaccines specifically to damage fertility as a method of contraception. A suggested ingredient for the vaccine is tween 80 (polysorbate 80): “In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin in squalene oil. The aqueous solution glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80.” (Fertility Impairing Vaccine And Methods of Use’ This application claims the benefit of U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/070,375, filed January 2,1998, U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/071,406, filed January 15,1998.)

Question No. 3 What pseudo science went on at the CDC when it announced Outbreak of Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection --- Mexico, March--April 2009 …. On April 23, several cases of severe respiratory illness laboratory confirmed as swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) infection were communicated to the PAHO. Sequence analysis revealed that the patients were infected with the same S-OIV strain detected in two children residing in California (1). This report describes the initial and ongoing investigation of the S-OIV outbreak in Mexico.

Notice in the Fluzone® Influenza Virus Vaccine package insert 271-3112579 (an enlarge copy on the next page) from September 2009 it states: …each 0.5 mL dose contains 15 mcg HA of each of the following 3 viruses: A/Brisbane/59/2007, IVR-148 (H1N1), A/Uruguay/716/2007, NYMC X-175C (H3N2) (an A/Brisbane/10/2007-like virus), and B/Brisbane/60/2008. [Emphasis added] Congress must investigate vaccines per se in view of the above information and the toxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media. Fluozone® contains 25-mcg mercury, a CDC and EPA designated neurotoxin—in each 0.5 ml dose of multi-dose vial vaccine.

FDA, CDC Investigating Increase In Fever-Related Seizures In Young Children Following Flu Shot The AP (1/20) [2011] reports that the FDA on Thursday "said there have been 36 confirmed reports of seizures this flu season in children ages 6 months through 2 years." The seizures occurred "within one day after they were vaccinated with Fluzone, the only flu shot recommended in the US for infants and very young children." WebMD (1/20, DeNoon) [2011] reported, "The reports come from the FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)." In a statement on its website, the FDA said, "Data from VAERS are preliminary and serve as a sign or indication that further investigation is warranted." The agency added that further investigations are "under way to assess whether there could be an association between influenza vaccination and febrile seizures, or if other factors could be involved." MedPage Today (1/20, Neale) [2011] reported, Sanofi Pasteur said "rates of febrile seizure after administration of our influenza vaccine have been stable for years even as distribution of the pediatric formulation has increased." Sanofi is working "closely with FDA in the investigation of these events and will thoroughly assess all cases of febrile seizure and any other adverse experiences reported following administration of our vaccine." Medscape (1/20, Lowes) [2011] reported, "Today's FDA announcement resembles a previous one issued by the agency in July 2010 about increased rates of febrile seizures among Australian and New Zealand children who were vaccinated with another trivalent inactivated vaccine, Afluria (CSL Limited). These children, mostly younger than 5 years, were immunized during the 2010 influenza season of the Southern Hemisphere with the same trivalent formula now in use in the Northern Hemisphere." Medscape noted, "Afluria is also an FDA-approved vaccine for the 2010 to 2011 influenza season in the United States."

Australia and New Zealand also reported seizures in young children from two different brands of flu vaccine earlier this year. Flu Shot Caused Seizures in Australian Children, Study Says “A flu shot called Fluvax caused seizures in Australian children, causing more hospitalizations than it prevented.” “Side effects from the trivalent inactivated influenza (TIV) vaccine manufactured by CSL Biotherapies prompted Western Australian officials and later the governments of Australia and New Zealand to suspend child vaccinations in April 2010 after they discovered a high hospitalization rate of young children who were vaccinated with Fluvax.http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/42851/ “The Australian Medical Association has backed the move to suspend vaccinations in children under five around the country, but says parents should not lose confidence about vaccinating their children.” http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/23/2881522.htm


“The manufacturing process for Afluria [another TIV flu vaccine also produced by CSL] is the same as for Fluvax and Fluvax Jr, and the composition of 2010 Fluvax and Fluvax Jr is antigenically equivalent to that for 2010-2011 Afluria.” “On July 30, 2010, a warning was added to the Afluria package insert to inform U.S. health care practitioners that administration of CSL's 2010 Southern Hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccine has been associated with an increased number of reports relative to previous years of fever and febrile seizures following influenza vaccination in children predominantly below the age of 5 years. http://www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/2010/s100806.htm

Conflict of Interest

The 2009 Pandemic Flu “Conspiracies” Investigation

WHO and the Pandemic Flu “conspiracies” British Medical Journal 3 June 2010 A joint investigation by the BMJ and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has uncovered evidence that raises troubling questions about how WHO managed conflicts of interest among the scientists who advised its pandemic planning, and about the transparency of the science underlying its advice to governments. Was it appropriate for WHO to take advice from experts who had declarable financial and research ties with pharmaceutical companies producing antivirals and influenza vaccines? Why was key WHO guidance authored by an influenza expert who had received payment for other work from Roche, manufacturers of oseltamivir, and GlaxoSmithKline, manufacturers of zanamivir? And why does the composition of the emergency committee from which Chan sought guidance remain a secret known only to those within WHO. …. It is this lack of transparency over conflicts of interests—coupled with a documented changing of the definition of a pandemic and unanswered questions over the evidence base for therapeutic interventions—that has led to the emergence of these conspiracies. …. The number of victims of H1N1 fell far short of even the more conservative predictions by the WHO. It could, of course, have been far worse. Planning for the worst while hoping for the best remains a sensible approach. But our investigation has revealed damaging issues. If these are not addressed, H1N1 may yet claim its biggest victim—the credibility of the WHO and the trust in the global public health system. http://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c2912.full [Emphasis added]

Alzheimer’s: Is There A Vaccine Connection? Statistically, health/disease data are difficult to hide, refute, or deny. In general, a trend began emerging in the late 1980s when numerous childhood health anomaly statistics, e.g., ADD, ADHD, ASD, were being published in peer review journals. On the other end of the age spectrum, senior citizen data began to show a ‘pandemic-like’ emergence of dementia never seen before in the practice of medicine nor in the published literature. Adult dementia has escalated to the point where there are lock-down Alzheimer’s care facilities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Alzheimer’s disease statistics indicate something is affecting the elderly like nothing has in past generations. One of the issues influencing this trend can be the escalation of annual flu vaccinations for the elderly with toxic adjuvants and, in particular, the pneumococcal [pneumonia] vaccine, which contains aluminum phosphate. Other vaccines that contain aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, and aluminum potassium sulfate include: Anthrax [4-dose series has a total of 2.4 mg of aluminum], Hepatitis A, Hepatitis A-Hepatitis-B, Hepatitis B, plus numerous other vaccines that are given to children and young women. Alzheimer Patients in Hospice care Number of current patients with Alzheimer's as primary diagnosis: 7,900 Percent of current patients with Alzheimer's as primary diagnosis: 7.5% Source: 2000 National Home and Hospice Care Survey, Current Hospice Care Patients: table 12

Note that the above statistics are for the year 2000—almost eleven years ago. Nursing home care Number of residents with Alzheimer's: 231,900 Percent of residents with Alzheimer's: 15.5% Source: 2004 National Nursing Home Survey, Residents, table 33B Mortality Number of deaths: 74,632 Deaths per 100,000 population: 24.7 Cause of death rank: 6 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alzheimr.htm

In the August 2003 issue of the Archives of Neurology it was estimated that more than 4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, this number is said to have doubled since the year 1980. http://diseasealzheimers.com/alzheimers-statistics.php [Emphasis added] Remember, there was the CDC & HHS push in the late 1980s to have senior citizens vaccinated annually against seasonal flu and pneumonia.


Before 1980 most Americans never heard of Alzheimer’s disease AND had not experienced it. In Sweden the mortality rate for Alzheimer’s disease before 1980 was 0.2/100,000 person-years. In 2006 the mortality rate was greater than 9/100,000 person-years. http://www.bentham.org/car/samples/car6-6/002AT.pdf According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and as reported in The New York Times, November 2, 1990, “The rate of Americans dying from Alzheimer's disease increased tenfold in the 1980's,…” According to Dr. Richard Sun of the CDC, "It's a little difficult to believe that the number of people with Alzheimer's disease could increase 950 percent in eight years." [Emphasis added] http://www.nytimes.com/1990/11/02/us/alzheimer-s-disease-rate-up.html That’s why there is a need to investigate vaccines, their toxic adjuvants, how they are marketed, and the spurious scientific studies that often are performed, financed, and published by the very pharmaceutical company that makes the vaccines. Aluminum Implicated in Alzheimer’s Increasingly aluminum is being targeted as a cause of Alzheimer’s disease as this link documents http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADJBCU_QVOM . However, the most unsuspecting source of aluminum is omitted: vaccines, which can contain from 250 to 500 mcg aluminum as aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, aluminum phosphate, and aluminum potassium sulfate. Aluminum is a neurotoxin.

Influenza Vaccines: Are They Effective?

In Children The prestigious Cochrane Library published the article “Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children” January 25, 2006 wherein the authors’ conclusion in the Abstract stated: Influenza vaccines are efficacious in children older than two but little evidence is available for children under two. There was a marked difference between vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. No safety comparisons could be carried out, emphasizing the need for standardization of methods and presentation of vaccine safety data in future studies. It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months old in the USA and Canada. If immunisation in children is to be recommended as a public health policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes and directly comparing vaccine types are urgently required. http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab004879.html

In Adults The Cochrane Library Issue 7, 2010, published the article “Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults” wherein the authors’ conclusion in the Abstract stated: Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working days lost. There is no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission. WARNING: This review includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding declaration). An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions favorable to the vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted in light of this finding. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/o/cochrane/clsysrev/articles/CD001269/frame.html

In the Elderly The Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2010, published the article “Vaccines for preventing influenza in the elderly” wherein the authors’ conclusion in the Abstract stated: The available evidence is of poor quality and provides no guidance regarding the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older. To resolve the uncertainty, an adequately powered publicly-funded randomised, placebo-controlled trial run over several seasons should be undertaken. Plain language summary Vaccines for preventing seasonal influenza and its complications in people aged 65 or older Influenza vaccination of elderly individuals is recommended worldwide as people aged 65 and older are at a higher risk of complications, hospitalizations and deaths from influenza. This review looked at evidence from experimental and non-experimental studies carried out over 40 years of influenza vaccination. We included 75 studies. These were grouped first according to study design and then the setting (community or


long-term care facilities). The results are mostly based on non-experimental (observational) studies, which are at greater risk of bias, as not many good quality trials were available. Trivalent inactivated vaccines are the most commonly used influenza vaccines. Due to the poor quality of the available evidence, any conclusions regarding the effects of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older cannot be drawn. The public health safety profile of the vaccines appears to be acceptable.

The Need for Informed Consent One of the more important issues that must be considered with regard to vaccines and vaccinations is the unfortunate and debilitating adverse reactions that parents observe in their children after having been vaccinated. That cannot be denied since it has been documented over and over, particularly in the CDC’s VAERS reporting system. A glaring vacuum exists regarding vaccines/vaccinations insofar as parents must have the right to, enforcement of, and cooperation from physicians about informed consent, which does not exist at present. Another ignored aspect that applies to those administering vaccines is the need for their informed consent about a child’s chronic health conditions and any genetic predisposition that could possibly lead to serious vaccine adverse effects that, if known, would preclude administering a vaccine. Mitochondrial Disorders Governmental health agencies and vaccine makers must consider that some children are born with mitochondrial disorders that may not manifest observable presences until the toddler stage or even as late as ten years of age. Children with mitochondrial disorders apparently are more susceptible to experiencing vaccine-related damage. One case of particular interest is Hannah Poling’s—a female who, after having received numerous vaccines in one day, developed regressive autism. See Government Awards Hannah Poling $1.5 Million in Vaccine Injury Case http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/09/government-awards-hannah-poling-15-million-in-vaccine-injury-case.html?cid=6a00d8357f3f2969e20134872f7a19970c

Interestingly, government lawyers argued that Hannah had a pre-existing mitochondrial disorder and that Hannah’s health problems were not caused by the vaccines but just resulted from the vaccines. What’s the difference? That question brings up many valid points for discussion. Point 1: Shouldn’t it be incumbent upon medical doctors and other health practitioners who vaccinate to determine whether a vaccine candidate is capable of sustaining either a single or multiple doses of vaccines without causing harm? Each year up to four thousand children in the USA are diagnosed with mitochondrial disorders. Some are not symptomatic until age of ten! So, did they have the disorder, or did the disorder result from mandatory childhood vaccinations? Point 2: General precautions are taken for various health disorders, e.g., Phenylketonuria (PKU) with regard to manufactured food product labeling, artificial sweeteners, in particular. PKU-afflicted individuals do not have the ability to utilize the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Since this genetic disorder occurs in one out of 10,000 to 20,000 Caucasian and/or Oriental births, recognition is made of the need for informed consent with warnings distributed widely to preclude mental retardation damage to PKU individuals. Point 3: Mandatory childhood vaccines with their immune boosting adjuvants just may be the inciting factor for any child with a mitochondrial disorder. That aspect, which


affects informed consent, needs further research before subjecting children haphazardly either to single or multiple vaccines in one day. The following list indicates the varying range of disorders associated with mitochondrial problems:

• Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). Onset of KSS usually occurs before the age of 20. Symptoms include progressively constrained eye movements, droopy eye lids, muscle weakness, short stature, hearing loss, loss of coordination, heart problems, cognitive delays, and diabetes.

• Myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF). MERFF is a mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in which a mitochondrial defect as well as a tissue abnormality called "ragged-red fibers" (an accumulation of diseased mitochondria) is found microscopically. The resulting symptoms include seizures, loss of coordination, short stature, build-up of lactic acid in the blood, difficulty speaking, dementia, and muscle weakness.

• Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). MELAS is a progressive mitochondrial disease that involves multiple organ systems including the central nervous system, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and gastrointestinal system. Symptoms include muscle weakness, stroke-like events, eye muscle paralysis, and cognitive impairment.

• Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). LHON causes progressive loss of vision resulting in various degrees of blindness and primarily affects men over the age of 20. Heart abnormalities may also occur.

• Leigh syndrome. This degenerative brain disorder is usually diagnosed at a young age (e.g. before age two). Deterioration is often rapid with symptoms such as seizures, dementia, feeding and speech difficulties, respiratory dysfunction, heart problems, and muscle weakness. Prognosis is poor with death typically occurring within a few years of diagnosis.

• Myoneurogenic gastrointestinal encephalopathy (MNGIE). Key features include symptoms that mimic gastrointestinal obstruction and nervous system abnormalities. Other symptoms may include eye muscle paralysis, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and brain abnormalities.

• Pearson syndrome. With symptoms usually first appearing in childhood, the characteristics of this rare syndrome include pancreatic dysfunction and anemia (low red blood cells). Difficulty gaining weight, diarrhea, and enlarged liver are other signs of Pearson syndrome.

• Neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP). The symptoms implied by this disorder's name include nervous system abnormalities, loss of coordination, and progressive loss of vision. Developmental delays, dementia, and muscle weakness may also result. Onset usually occurs in childhood. http://www.answers.com/topic/mitochondrial-disorders

Point 4. In the case of mitochondrial cytopathies that are caused by environmental factors such as certain drugs or toxins, avoidance of these substances may minimize the risk of developing mitochondrial disease. http://www.answers.com/topic/mitochondrial-

disorders Since vaccines are “drugs” or pharmaceuticals containing numerous toxins [aluminum, formaldehyde, mercury, and a roster of seven-pages from CDC: (see pages


16 to 22 in this monograph) there seems to be circumstantial evidence implicating vaccines in developing serious adverse reactions resulting from not avoiding toxins, toxic adjuvants, or drugs, e.g., antibiotics, in mandatory childhood vaccines.

In the second bulleted item above, one notices certain symptoms [The resulting symptoms include seizures, loss of coordination, short stature, build-up of lactic acid in the blood, difficulty speaking, dementia, and muscle weakness.] that are recognized as adverse reactions reported in children via VAERS reports.

Adult Mitochondrial Cytopathies One other note of interest is dementia, a problem affecting senior citizens as never

before. Some mitochondrial cytopathies do not manifest until adulthood. With yearly flu and pneumococcal vaccinations pushed upon senior citizens, one has to wonder what etiology their toxic adjuvants play in cognition and dementia.

Because of the inordinate state of sub-clinical malnutrition that exists in the USA, mitochondrial disorders probably are on the rise. Most of the accepted treatments for mitochondrial disorders consist of certain vitamin, coenzyme Q10, antioxidant therapy, and carnitine supplementation either orally or intravenously, which indicate an insufficiency of specific nutrients.

If these factors are not addressed with regard to the cavalier manner of distributing vaccines and vaccinating children in particular with regard to informed consent, we can project there probably will be hundreds of thousands of disabled children in future years who will not be productive and will be a financial strain on health care facilities, insurers, and costs, e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security disability.

The Results of the Lack of Informed Consent in India Gardasil® research targets girls from vulnerable communities The [HPV Gardasil®] vaccine was administered through a camp approach in the hostels and school campuses. In many instances, the wardens of the residential schools and hostels were asked to provide consent or permission for vaccination, while parents were not informed. It is extremely questionable how and why a warden, whether a legal guardian or not, was allowed to provide consent for hundreds of children to be vaccinated without consulting parents or other guardians. Moreover, no consent form was filled out or signed, even by the wardens. Any consent given was verbal. http://www.thescavenger.net/health/gardasil-research-targets-girls-from-vulnerable-communities-21675.html

There’s a total inability of the FDA to carry out its mission.

- Congressman John Dingell, calling for complete overhall of FDA, 2008. 1 Yet no other regulatory body has been criticized so extensively for falling down on the job, letting too many risky drugs through, and being too dependent on and close to the industry it is supposed to regulate. 2 Thus as the modern pharmaceutical industry grew after World War II, it infused the FDA with a pro-industry culture that undermined the agency’s ability to protect patients from unsuspected risks. 3 Regarding thalidomide: Vicks and Grǘnenthal decided that marketing thalidomide to women for reducing nausea during early pregnancy would generate additional sales, though no clinical trial was done to test this off-label use. 4

Approved as a sleeping pill in forty-two countries, thalidomide caused an estimated ten thousand babies to be born with birth defects. 5

The analogy can be made to what is happening NOW with vaccines and their adverse reactions and implications, particularly in the etiology of autism, which FDA constantly disregards but upholds industry-supplied, conflict-of-interest studies that support supposed vaccine safety. The former medical director of Squibb testified that for half of all new drugs, “it is clear while they are on the drawing board that they promise no utility; they promise sales.” 6 In other words, the current system at its best permits a significant amount of risk to be shifted to patients and their doctors, as reflected in the proliferation of toxic side effects described in Chapter 1. 7

Adverse drug reactions reported to the FDA nearly tripled between 1995 and 2005, from 156,000 to 460,000. A decade earlier, in 1985, only 38,000 reports were submitted. [This is coincidental with the push for vaccinating infants and children and adults with annual flu shots.] ____________

According to Public Citizen, 1.5 million Americans a year are hospitalized due to adverse drug reactions. If Americans consume about 40% of all drugs in the world, this would mean 3.75 million hospitalizations worldwide. Between 1998 and 2005, reported serious adverse events increased four times faster than the total number of outpatient prescriptions. These studies each have their limitations, but together they indicate how substantial are the risks that patients bear. 8

Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler has written that “only about 1% of serious events are reported to the FDA,” and the FDA Office of Drug Safety believes only 1% of ADRs [adverse drug reactions] are reported, which for 2005 would mean about 46 million adverse drug reactions. Furthermore, Light says, … ADRs are rising about 15% each year… 9

Patients may reasonably expect the FDA and their physician to protect them from risk, but in fact, both pass significant risk on to patients. 10 This, unfortunately, is the case in vaccines, especially multiple-antigen vaccines such as MMR, DPaT, and routine 4- and 6-month infant vaccinations, some of which contain as many as 5 to 8 vaccines given at one time. To say that new drugs are tested to be “safe” is misleading. When any drug is approved, the most one can say is that it is “apparently safe based on partial information.” …. If trials were designed to test for safety, the risks to patients could be substantially reduced. In addition, risks of serious side effects are sometimes known while under review, and technical staff advise against exposing patients to them but are overruled.” 11

An example can be read in Congressman Henry Waxman’s, The Marketing of Vioxx to Physicians (Washington, DC: United States House of Representatives, Committee on Government Reform, 2005), http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20050505114932-41272.pdf

Vioxx exemplified the failure of public safety agencies and a great risk shift to patients. 12

The same can be said about most vaccines being manufactured and injected into infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens. The unfortunate difference between Vioxx damage, for which there was a class action lawsuit, and vaccine-related damages is this: Under law (PREP Act 42USC 247(d)-6d) that was passed regarding vaccine manufacturers, harmed consumers have to obtain the right to sue for any health damages from the Department of Health and Human Services. There is no such loophole in U.S. tort law for any other product or service. Many damaged children and their financially burdened and distraught parents are left to fend for themselves as a result of mandatory vaccinations. ________________

8 See 1: Ibid. 2 9 Ibid. 3 10 Ibid. 4 11 Ibid. 7 12 Ibid. 13


Merck, the manufacturer of Vioxx®, withdrew it from the market in September 2004. However, no such retraction has occurred for Merck’s Gardasil® or GSK’s Cervarix®, which have caused deaths and health destruction to thousands of young women globally as documented in CDC’s VAERS reporting forms. (For additional information about that, please see CDC’s VAERS Reports in this monograph.) Could the Vioxx® misfortune have occurred because The pharmaceutical industry has used its well-funded lobbying organization to campaign for faster approvals to maximize sales and profits before patents run out. ….[T]his is increasing the risk of serious adverse effects. 13

Conflict-of-Interest According to Dr. Light, The risk proliferation syndrome starts with a regulatory system that allows companies to test their own products and write up the results rather than requiring independent testing. 14 Pharmaceutical companies engage in what can—and should be—considered unethical practices such as excluding patients for skewed demographical information; running short trials that show effectiveness but not toxic side effects; recording only select toxic side effects rather than all; excluding subjects who could not tolerate side effects and dropped out; and selectively publishing evidence to support their marketing plans—just to mention a few, according to Light’s research. 15

Additionally, Sponsoring companies also engage in “ghost management” of research and publications to make it appear as if academic researchers are doing the studies and authoring scientific articles on the results. Companies also manage what gets published and what does not. 16 These clinicians often publish the results in company-supported journals and supplements. 17 This is an aspect of vaccine manufacture that needs investigating by members of Congress. Concomitantly, Congress needs to scrutinize vaccine manufacturers because Marketing departments have been found repeatedly to understate or hide information about known risks, not only from patients but from their doctors. 18 The number of medications prescribed or given while seeing a physician rose from 425 to 679 million between 1990 and 2005. The number of prescriptions rose 72% between 1997 and 2007. 19 During this same time frame vaccine makers were producing and promoting many vaccines. Currently there is an agenda to produce many more and that is why it is incumbent upon Congress to investigate vaccines per se, their toxic adjuvants, pseudo-scientific studies/published reports, marketing tactics to physicians, and what can be construed as a consumer media ‘fear’ campaign. __________

FDA Criminal Unit Head Investigated and Steps Down The head of FDA’s criminal unit, Terry Vermillion, resigned in November 2010 following criticism from congressional investigators that the unit he headed “operated largely independent of agency leadership, despite growing into a $41 million operation with 230 staffers over the last decade.” 20 Senator Charles E. Grassley, in a letter dated September 16, 2010, stated that he received a whistleblower complaint enumerating many ‘unethical’ allegations with one that Mr. Grassley found most troubling: The potential compromise of a GAO testing protocol by a GAO employee during inspection. See copy of Senator Grassley’s letter as an addendum to this section of the monograph. It ought to be pointed out that Mr. Vermillion worked at FDA since 1992. During the intervening years, many vaccines were ‘approved’. Congress should be concerned if any vaccines were part of Mr. Vermillion’s unit workload. Fraudulent and Pseudo-Scientific Research Although there are numerous reports relative to questionable research, here is a sampling that ought to encourage Congress seriously to consider the matter as a valid accusation and an impetus for investigating vaccines per se:

For enlightening and candid information about drug companies, please refer to the former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, Marcia Angell’s book, The Truth about the Drug Companies, published by Random House in 2004.

According to Parilman and Associates, Nationwide Representation for

Whistleblower Lawsuits, most types of pharmaceutical company fraud fall into four categories: Illegal tactics; Unethical sales tactics that provide misleading information on safety and effectiveness of drugs; Overbilling; and Promoting false/inaccurate information to government agencies such as FDA to hide dangerous side effects. [Emphasis added]

Big Pharma’s Concerns—Immunizations The National Association of Chain Drug Stores sponsored an online webinar titled 2010 Post-Election Webinar: How Did Pharmacy Fare with information at file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/99UR6F2W/Post-election%2520webinar%2520final%2520for%2520upload%5B1%5D.ppt#256,1,Slide 1

The need to educate new legislators and leadership on pharmacy issues.” NACDS-PAC contributed $326,250 to pro-pharma candidates in the 2009-2010 election cycle; hosted fundraisers for 24 candidates raising an additional $517,500 for them. Health industry PACs gave over $42 million towards elections. Interestingly, the title for the PowerPoint slide citing those statistics is Money remains the life blood of politics.

Copenhagen Police Investigating Autism Vaccine Researcher Dr. Poul Thorsen for Fraud A Danish autism researcher is being investigated by police for defrauding an estimated 10 million kroner from Aarhus University while he was employed there. Dr. Poul Thorsen, one of the researchers involved in two well-known autism reports that appeared in the influential New England Journal of Medicine, was accused of fraud last month by the university and East Jutland Police have now got involved in the case. Thorsen resigned on Tuesday from his position in the US as adjunct professor at Drexel University in Philadephia, Pennsylvania in the wake of the investigation. Thorsen’s fraud charges stem from the time of the reports, when he was employed at Aarhus University. Police are currently investigating the disappearance of around 10 million kroner from grants given to it by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, used to help fund the autism project. http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/03/copenhagen-police-investigating-autism-vaccine-researcher-dr-poul-thorsen-for-fraud.html

FDA’s Top Cop Steps Down After Senator Grassley’s Investigation "The thought that someone at the GAO may have compromised the testing of a system unfortunately, brings the integrity of the entire report into question if it’s determined to be true." Sen. Charles Grassley. Terry Vermillion, Director of FDA's Office of Criminal Investigation, announced on November 30, 2010 that he would be ‘stepping’ down in December 2010 amid allegations of corrupt practices. The issue came to a head when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a complaint to the Acting Comptroller General of the General Accounting Office (GAO) about a "less than stellar" GAO investigative report which whitewashed misconduct at OCI. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bioethics/message/12258 See copy of Senator Grassley’s Sept. 16, 2010 letter to Gene Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the United States, GAO, about the Vermillion allegations.

One of the allegations surrounding Vermillion is that instead of pursuing drug companies and researchers who commit crimes when seeking FDA approval for drugs, the Office of Criminal Investigation under Vermillion, pursued drug-abuse cases. They come under the purview of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

[United States Senate Letterhead did not copy]

September 16, 2010 Via Electronic Transmission Gene Dodaro Acting Comptroller General of the United States Office of the Comptroller General Government Accountability Office 441 G Street, NW Washington, DC 20548 Dear Acting Comptroller General Dodaro:

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is known as "the investigative arm of Congress" and "the congressional watchdog." GAO supports the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and helps improve the performance and accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. I am an avid supporter of the GAO and as a result am troubled by a series of allegations that were recently brought to my attention involving the GAO and one of its reviews.

As you know, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA/Agency) established the

Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) in 1992 in response to growing concern about criminal violations of laws enforced by the FDA, including prescription drug counterfeiting, new drug application fraud, and product tampering. The mission of OCI includes developing, coordinating, and implementing Agency policy related to criminal investigations, investigating potential criminal violations, and making recommendations on referral of cases for further investigation and/or prosecution. Thus the work of OCI and its Office of Internal Affairs (OIA) must be effective, efficient, and conducted in accordance with, among other things, proper investigative procedures.

However because of concern with the operation and activities of OCI, including my

staff’s interview with its Director Terry Vermillion, on June 5, 2008, I forwarded a request to you asking that GAO review the activities and operations of the FDA’s OCI/OIA. On January 29, 2010, GAO issued its report, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, Improved Monitoring and Development of Performance Measures Needed to Strengthen Oversight of Criminal and Misconduct Investigations, GAO-10- 221 (Report).

The findings of that Report were less than stellar.


Recently, I received a whistleblower complaint regarding, among other things, GAOs field work associated with its Report. The complaint was prefaced by the following comment, “I am not sure what the GAO was doing while it was inspecting the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations, but I can tell you they weren’t awake while they were doing it.”

The whistleblower goes on to state that while GAO was conducting its work the

following are but a few of the events that took place “under their noses.” Specifically, the whistleblower states that Terry Vermillion, Director of OCI:

� Relocated his domicile to the Hampton, VA, area and now directs the work of OCI

predominantly over the phone.

� Used OCI technical support staff and his information technology staff to do personal work for him.

� Authorized the payment for government contracting training at George Washington University for a fellow OCI employee characterized as his “Office Mistress.” The whistleblower then goes on to state that Vermillion also directed that she be promoted to the level of GS-14 against the advice of other senior OCI officials in charge of Administration, who advised him that she did not have enough responsibilities at her current GS-13 level position.

� Directed that reports prepared by OCI’s Office of Internal Affairs be changed to sanitize them of derogatory information about his fellow US Secret Service retirees now working at FDA/OCI.

� Routinely had OCI training session and conferences held in the Dallas, TX area so that he could visit family (son and grandchildren).

Perhaps the most troubling allegation received involves the potential compromise of a GAO testing protocol by a GAO employee during the inspection. According to the whistleblower:

Oh, by the way, someone in GAO was telling someone in OCI things about the investigation. Apparently GAO sent a test case to OCI to see how OCI would handle it. Someone in GAO told OCI this and OCI knew it was coming and knew which was the test case. I don’t know who in GAO was the snitch and I don’t know who in OCI was receiving the information, it might have been to FDA’s office of legislative affairs and not OCI, but I do know it happened.

2


The thought that someone at the GAO may have compromised the testing of a system unfortunately, brings the integrity of the entire report into question if it’s determined to be true.

In closing, I am confident that you are as troubled by these allegations as I am.

Additionally, I look forward to your review of these allegations and to your report back to me on your findings if any.

Should you have any questions regarding this letter please call either Emilia DiSanto

or John DeDona at (202) 224-4515. All formal correspondence should be sent electronically in PDF format to [email protected] or via facsimile to (202) 228-2131.

Charles E. Grassley

The Impact of Fraudulent Research on the Scientific Literature The Stephen E. Breuning Case

The Impact of Fraudulent Research on the Scientific Literature The Stephen E. Breuning Case Eugene Garfield, PhD; Alfred Welljams-Dorof [+] Author Affiliations From the Institute for Scientific Information, Philadelphia, Pa. Abstract The goal of this study was to determine the research impact of scientific fraud through citation analysis of 20 Breuning publications, using the 1980 to 1988 Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index. These publications received 200 citations, of which 80 (40.0%) were self-citations by Breuning or his coauthors. Tracked over time, non—self-citations declined sharply in 1986 and later years, coinciding with disclosure of Breuning's fraud. The data indicated that, in this case, researchers effectively shunned work known to be or even suspected of being falsified. Unique citation contexts (101) were examined to see how citing authors used Breuning's work: 33 were negative (disagreed with findings/methods), 10 positive (agreed), and 58 neutral (no valuation). Also, 63 were inconsequential (no influence on the citing author's analysis/conclusion). Thirty-eight were material, but 21 of these led to negative conclusions. These data diminish the apparent impact of Breuning's work suggested by total citations alone.

--- The current debate on scientific fraud continues to focus on the small but growing number of studies that report falsified research. Little attention has been paid to the question of what impact these studies have on research. That is, how frequently were they cited, and, just as important, how were they used by citing authors? The present study is a first effort to answer this question through a citation analysis of publications by Stephen E. Breuning, who in 1988 was prosecuted and convicted in federal court of scientific fraud (New York Times, May 24, 1987:A16). 8-10 http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/263/10/1424.abstract The full text of the above article is available as a PDF at http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/263/10/1424.full.pdf+html

The Stephen E. Breuning fraudulent research case also was reported on in The New England Journal of Medicine article “Misconduct in Medical Research” at http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199306033282207.


CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Reports Countries Reporting Gardasil® Adverse Reaction to CDC’s VAERS Over 17,500 adverse reactions and 61 deaths have been reported to VAERS (estimated 1 to 10% of the population reporting). The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has posted 272 VAERS reports of abnormal pap tests post-vaccination. Reports of deaths and injuries are now coming in from the United States, New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and India. http://www.ennislaw.com/gardasil-dangers-exposed-gardasil-side-effects-lawyer-news-03092010.html

CDC’s VAERS Gardasil® Vaccine Database Side effects and deaths reported. See http://www.whale.to/vaccine/vaers_gardasil.html Thousands of documents were obtained by Judicial Watch after filing a lawsuit against the FDA. The documents include Merck's patent and drug information submitted to the FDA, transcripts and briefing material from approval meetings, and reports documenting health, safety, and efficacy test results, as well as Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) documents. VAERS reports provide details about 8,864 cases of adverse effects experienced by girls and women after receiving the Gardasil® vaccine. http://www.thenhf.com/article.php?id=1874

~~~ VAERS Spontaneous Abortion Reports The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services HRSA division (Health Resources and Services Administration) held a public meeting of the FDA’s Advisory Committee on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) in Rockville, Maryland, September 2-3, 2010, at which several members of the public made presentations. One presenter, Ms. Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Women, countered the statement made by Dr. Marie McCormick, MD, an FDA advisory board member, that there were no fetal deaths and/or spontaneous abortions reported due to pregnant women receiving the H1N1 vaccination. Ms. Dannemann cited 178 CDC VAERS reports of spontaneous abortions/and or deaths from pregnant women receiving the flu vaccine. To corroborate Ms. Dannemann’s statement, three VAERS reports are attached that indicate as symptoms: Abortion spontaneous. They are VAERS ID: 386371, 370543, and 370554 [pages 48-50 in this monograph]. The entire listing can be accessed at www.progressiveconvergence.com/VAERS%20updates.htm. These should be enough to substantiate a legitimate investigation as to why pregnant women are being targeted for flu vaccinations when they contain toxins that cross the placenta and harm the fetus. Notoriously, standard prenatal care instructs women to avoid alcohol, common OTC medications, and Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other toxic chemicals can harm the unborn baby to various extents depending on the toxicity… www.associatedcontent.com/article/932023/safe_pregnancy_tips_10_things_women_pg2.html?cat=52 Why, then, are the toxins included in flu and other vaccines permitted to be injected into a pregnant woman? This is another pressing reason why congress must investigate vaccines per se.


Flu Vaccine Adverse Reactions Reports The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has generated a web site that documents adverse reactions from flu vaccines as reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). See http://www.rulabinsky.com/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=on&PAGENO=3739&PERPAGE=10&ESORT=&REVERSESORT=&VAX=%28FLU%29 According to the above web site, NVIC found there were 47,426 events associated with the flu vaccine. Why isn’t the media reporting on such statistics as 47,426 adverse reactions or events resulting from infants, young children, and adults having such widespread reactions to the flu vaccine? Yet, pregnant women, the population in general, and infants are mandated to get the flu vaccination.

~~~ To corroborate that flu vaccines are implicated adversely in pregnant women, please see the next three pages where “abortion spontaneous and stillbirth” are listed under Symptoms on actual VAERS reports that were placed into a database collected by Progressive Convergence at http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/VAERS%20updates.pdf

That database was updated December 22, 2010 and shows 219 pregnancies apparently compromised as a result of the flu vaccine received by pregnant women.

Update: Now 219 total reports [including apparently 3 duplicates with non-duplicated reports –

broken down into four (4) categories:

Investigations revealed low platelet count. The patient was discharged on 11-OCT-2009. The patient had her platelet count rechecked on 13-OCT-2009 and results were within normal range. On 16-OCT-2009, the patient had per vaginal bleeding which lead to a miscarriage on 18-OCT-2009. The medical officer involved stated that the miscarriage was unlikely due to the vaccine but due to the low platelets on 10-OCT-2009. The patient outcome is unknown. The regulator considered events possible to the suspect drug. This case was reported as serious because of hospitalisation and medical significance. The company considered events unassessable to the suspect drug due to insufficient data relating to the patient''s medical history and concomitant medications. Information derived from this AE report does not change the current safety profile of the product.

USA Vaccination Rates &

Chronic Disease Rates According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) home page Nation’s Childhood Immunization Rates Remain High

Vaccines in the recommended series (called the 4:3:1:3:3:1 series) are:

• Four or more doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine (DtaP) • Three or more doses of polio vaccine • One or more doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) • Three or more doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib) • Three or more doses of hepatitis B vaccine • One or more doses of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine

Chronic Disease Rates/Statistics

Now, let’s consider chronic disease statistics that affect children at younger ages:

ADHD The CDC reports that there are 5.3 million children between 3-17 years of age in the USA diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Source: http://www.dcd.gov/NCHS/fastats/adhd.htm

Childhood Cancers How many children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States annually? In the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under age 15 were diagnosed with cancer and about 1,545 children will die from the disease (1). Although this makes cancer the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children 1 to 14 years of age, cancer is still relatively rare in this age group. On average, 1 to 2 children develop the disease each year for every 10,000 children in the United States (2).[Emphasis added] What are the most common types of childhood cancer? Among the 12 major types of childhood cancers, leukemias (blood cell cancers) and cancers of the brain and central nervous system account for more than half of the new cases. About one-third of childhood cancers are leukemias. The most common type of leukemia in children is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The most common solid tumors are brain tumors (e.g., gliomas and medulloblastomas), with other solid tumors (e.g., neuroblastomas, Wilms tumors, and sarcomas such as rhabdomyosarcoma and osteosarcoma) being less common.

(37.5%) were 4 to 32 times higher than for children without DDs. Children with DDs were 2 to 8 times as likely to have had more than 9 health care visits (14.9%), received special education (38.8%), had a surgical or medical procedure (7.5%), and recently

visited a medical specialist (23.9%), mental health professional (26.6%), therapist/allied health professional (19.6%), and/or emergency department (10.3%). Effects were generally stable during the study interval and independent of age, race, sex, and family income. Cerebral palsy, autism, mental retardation, blindness, and deafness/a lot of trouble hearing were associated with the highest levels of health and functional impact indicators.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Aspergers Since official government web sites seem to skirt statistics on this specific disorder, we are considering an ‘unofficial’ site that gives numbers. The number of children diagnosed with autism has in fact risen from 1 in 3,000 children in the mid-1990s to approximately 1 in 500 in more recent times, while the total number of children suffering from various diseases on the autism spectrum is estimated closer to 560,000 children in the United States alone.

Down Syndrome Prior to the late 1980s when numerous mandated vaccinations for infants began and during the 1990s when toddler health anomalies started manifesting ‘profusely’, the most common childhood disability was Down Syndrome (DS), formerly called mongolism. About 1 in 800 babies is born with Down Syndrome. The Triple Screen Test or AFP is performed around the 16th week of pregnancy to screen for increased risk of Down Syndrome. If your test comes back "positive for Down Syndrome" it means that you have an increased chance of having a baby with DS, not that the baby actually has it. There are other, more definitive tests to determine that. Source: http://www.about-down-syndrome.com/down-syndrome-statistics.html In the article Down Syndrome: Interaction between Culture, Demography, and Biology in Determining the Prevalence of a Genetic Trait Human Biology - Volume 75, Number 4, August 2003, pp. 503-520 researchers stated Between 1920 and the early 1980s, DS live-birth prevalence decreased in many populations due to declining fertility rates, particularly among older women. In the late-1970s the trend reversed, as the median age of populations and birth rates among older women steadily increased. ….Cultural factors influence demographic trends, birthing technologies, physician practices, and women’s decision-making regarding prenatal screening and diagnosis for DS.

~~~ Nowhere in the published medical literature do research papers document the ‘pandemics’ of chronic diseases in toddlers and children before the late 1980s. Yes, there was asthma, but not seen and experienced in young children as now. There also were infectious diseases that were self-limiting and diminished BEFORE the introduction of most of the vaccines for them. See impressive charts and graphs documenting Vaccines Ineffectiveness with Validation from Peer Review Journals Charts and Graphs in this monograph. In order to understand these ever-increasing health anomalies, one has to think out of the box and start connecting the dots, something that vaccine makers will not consider. Big Pharma cannot be faulted for not wanting to find the reasons since they profit from vaccines and have immunity from product liabililty vaccine damage to health via the 1986 National Child Vaccination Act, which protects the pharmaceutical industry NOT the inordinate number of vaccine-damaged children. It should be incumbent upon members of Congress to revisit the 1986 National Child Vaccination Act while investigating the toxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media used to manufacture vaccines. Children MUST be protected from toxic chemicals and neurotoxic adjuvants.

Death, Disability & Vaccines Ineffectiveness With

Validation from Peer Review Journals Charts & Graphs

Measles According to a New England Journal of Medicine article, Epidemic Measles in a Highly Vaccinated Population: During November, 1975, to May, 1976, measles occurred at a rate of 20.3 cases per 1000 in a purported immunized population, of whom historical and serologic survey revealed that 9 per cent had no history of either measles illness or vaccination and 18 per cent did not have detectable measles antibody. …. During a measles outbreak, more cases occurred in those receiving vaccine when less than 12 months old than in those vaccinated at ≥12 months (37 per cent vs. 9 per cent, P<0.001 http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM197703172961102 USA: Illinois—Measles Outbreak among Vaccinated High School Students From December 9, 1983, to January 13, 1984, 21 cases of measles occurred in Sangamon County, Illinois. Nine of the cases were confirmed serologically. The outbreak involved 16 high school students, all of whom had histories of measles vaccination after 15 months of age documented in their school health records. Of the five remaining cases, four occurred in unvaccinated preschool children, two of whom were under 15 months of age, and one case occurred in a previously vaccinated college student. …. Editorial Note: This outbreak demonstrates that transmission of measles can occur within a school population with a documented immunization level of 100%.

Measles Vaccine Deaths, 26 August 2010 India halts vaccine programme after the deaths of four children. Vaccine programmes grind to a halt in India once more, when four children died after they received the measles vaccination in Lucknow. The four children were reported to have fainted soon after they were vaccinated and witnesses reported seeing the children’s eyes roll back as they began to have seizures. All of the children were under the age of two years of age, with the youngest being just six months. Sadly the children died before medical aid workers could reach them. http://oneworldscam.com/?p=7589

Measles-Mumps-Rubella-Varicella Combination Vaccine and the Risk of Febrile Seizures That is the title of a Pediatrics journal Volume 126, No. 1, July 2010, article written by MDs, PhDs, and MPHs from Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and Harvard Medical School, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, HealthPartners Research Foundation, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, and Immunization Safety Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which stated this conclusion in the abstract: Conclusions: Among 12- to 23-month-olds who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, fever and seizure were elevated 7 to 10 days after vaccination. Vaccination with MMRV results in 1 additional febrile seizure for every 2300 doses given instead of separate MMR + varicella vaccines. Providers who recommend MMRV should communicate to parents that it increases the risk of fever and seizure over that already associated with measles-containing vaccines. Pediatrics 2010, 126:e1-e8”


[Emphasis added] This article indicates an added health risk that parents are not aware of in addition to those risks associated with ‘traditional MMR’ vaccines: an apparent link with autism.

SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Japan In 1975, when Japan stopped vaccinating children under the age of 2 years dramatic improvements in their infant mortality occurred. Japan’s place in the world scale of infant mortality went from 17, a poor position, to number 1, the best performance. It is quite clear that the shift of the lower vaccination limit to 2 years resulted in a dramatic decrease in SIDS going quickly from a very high to the lowest rate of infant deaths in the world. Between 1970 and 1974, 37 infant deaths occurred after DPT vaccination in Japan and because of this the doctors in one prefecture boycotted the vaccination. http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=62205

In 1975 Japan raised the minimum vaccination age to two years; this was followed by the virtual disappearance of cot death and infantile convulsions. http://www.drwile.com/lnkpages/render.asp?vac_SIDS

BCG Tuberculosis Vaccine Russia In a Journal of Biological Standardization article [Volume 5, Issue 2, 1977, Pages 149-153], “Characterization of the Soviet BCG vaccine [tuberculosis prevention/control] and the occurrence of lymphadenitis [infection of lymph nodes/glands] in primarily vaccinated children,” A limited number of untoward reactions in children after BCG vaccination in the Soviet Union are described. They were mostly in the form of lymphadenitis but suppuration [formation/discharge of pus] and fistulation [fistula formed: abnormal passageway between two organs in the body or between an organ and exterior of the body The Free Dictionary by Farlex] were observed.

B. Pertussis [Whooping Cough] Vaccine

Israel Isaac Srugo, et al. affiliated with various public health centers in Israel stated, We demonstrated B. pertussis infection in fully vaccinated children ages 2-3 years and 5-6 years who had contact with an infected child. We investigated whether younger or recently vaccinated children may be protected from classical clinical illness but remain susceptible to infection and become asymptomatic carriers. Vaccinated children may be asymptomatic reservoirs for infection. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol6no5/srugo.htm

England The Times/The Sunday Times of July 7, 2006, discusses a British Medical Journal online article about whooping cough that says, Millions of British children have probably been infected with whoopping cough even though they have been immunised against it. A study has found that nearly two in five children who went to their GP with a persistent cough had suffered from whooping cough, though very few doctors diagnose it. The results suggest that the whooping cough vaccine is ineffective at preventing infection, but makes symptoms less severe—thereby concealing just how common it remains. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article684270.ece

Australia Whooping cough is on the rise in industrialised countries, despite long-standing vaccination programmes. Now researchers from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, have an explanation for why: at least two strains of the bacteria that cause the infection have evolved to evade today's vaccines. According to The Daily Telegraph of Sydney, "the research team analysed more than 200 samples of the bacterium collected over the past 40 years in Australia and compared them with samples from Japan, Canada, USA and Finland". They found that there are at least two strains that the vaccine may not protect against - known as MT27 and MT70. At least in rich countries, many people may think that whooping cough - also known as pertussis - is a killer from a pre-vaccination era. The new study, which is published in this month's edition of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, emphasises that incidence rates have been recently increasing in many industrialised countries. Prior to this study, scientists were unsure why. Now it seems an upgrade to a new type of vaccine may be to blame. Up until 1997, a "whole-cell" vaccine was used before it was phased out over two years because of concerns about side effects. Since 1999, a new "acellular" vaccine has been used. http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2010/02/whooping-cough-evolves-to-esca.html

The Netherlands In The Netherlands, as in many other western countries, pertussis vaccines have been used extensively for more than 40 years. Therefore, it is conceivable that vaccine-induced immunity has affected the evolution of B. pertussis. Consistent with this notion, pertussis has reemerged in The Netherlands, despite high vaccination coverage. Further, a notable change in the population structure of B. Pertussis was observed in The Netherlands


subsequent to the introduction of vaccination in the 1950s. Finally, we observed antigenic divergence between clinical isolates and vaccine strains, in particular with respect to the surface-associated proteins pertactin and pertussis toxin. Adaptation may have allowed B. Pertussis to remain endemic despite widespread vaccination and may have contributed to the reemergence of pertussis in The Netherlands. http://www.vaccines.me/articles/nakzp-explaining-the-reemergence-of-pertussis-in-vaccinated-populations.cfm

Slovenia Pertussis (whooping cough) is a mandatorily notifiable disease in Slovenia and since 1959, there has been an active national immunization programme. ….Whooping cough is highly infectious, and before vaccination was introduced, almost all children became infected. However, vaccination does not prevent the infection or asymptomatic carriage, and immunity wanes after vaccination. ….Some hypotheses for this apparent vaccine failure are: antigenic shift so that the circulating strains and vaccination strains of Bordetella pertussis diverge and vaccine efficacy is reduced; other factors, alone or in combination. …. The extent to which bacterial polymorphisms affect vaccine efficacy probably depends on the vaccine used, on the proportion of polymorphic bacteria in the human population, and other factors. http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=2779

Finland An article in Acta Paediatrica states, The purpose of this study was to find an answer to the question of why whooping cough cases occur in Finland in spite of the high acceptance rate of DPT vaccine. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1651-2227.1982.tb09618.x/abstract [Emphasis added]

~~~ Anomalies Regarding Vaccines So why, then, does an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association make this statement: The risk of measles and pertussis is elevated in personal exemptors. Public health personnel should recognize the potential effect of exemptors in outbreaks in their communities, and parents should be made aware of the risks involved in not vaccinating their children. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/284/24/3145 when it’s been demonstrated in various countries that measles and pertussis vaccines don’t work even with highly vaccinated populations?

The findings are presented along with a review of clinical trials of the hpv vaccine in India and an analysis of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules.

Vaccines: A Corporate Strategy The pharmaceutical industry in the USA is known as Big Pharma. That epithet may represent the fact that it makes BIG money on pharmaceuticals and vaccines and has tremendously BIG political clout in congress and at oversight agencies like FDA. However, with many prescription drugs going off patent and the resultant loss of revenue, the pharmaceutical industry is ‘re-inventing’ its marketing strategy: A product that cannot lose money-making capabilities by going off patent, cannot easily be made generically, and will guarantee a ‘closed’ marketplace. That product is vaccines, the more the better. There are more than 20 vaccines in the pipeline for future development. Estimates indicate that a prescription drug filled by a generic drug will cost about $40 less. Two of the biggest moneymaking drugs go off patent by 2012. Lipitor® (generic: atorvastatin), a statin, is the best-selling drug in the USA; its patent expires in 2011. Plavix® (generic: clopidogrel), an anti-clotting drug, will go off patent in 2012. Vaccine Court Perhaps there’s more to this new marketing scheme for more vaccines because of the hidden perk of no legal liability for adverse reactions and or vaccine damages for manufacturers. Basically, there’s a no-fault system for litigating vaccine injury claims, the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, established by the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). The only financial involvement for vaccine makers is an excise tax of 75 cents on every dose of covered vaccine purchased. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) includes and covers all vaccines on the Vaccine Injury Table maintained by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. According to Wikipedia: In March 2006, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs suing three manufacturers of thiomersal could bypass the vaccine court and litigate in either state or federal court utilizing the ordinary channels for recovery in tort (Holder v. Abbott Laboratories Inc., 444 F.3d 383). This is the first instance where a federal appeals court has held that a suit of this nature may bypass the vaccine court. The argument was that thiomersal is a preservative, not a vaccine, so it does not fall under the provisions of the vaccine act. That may be one of the over-riding reasons why vaccine makers may be trying to get away from thimerosal, a mercury preservative in vaccines, particularly multiple dose vaccines, and residually in seasonal flu vaccines. However, aluminum, formaldehyde, and other toxic adjuvants still pose horrendous health problems. Currently, over 5,000 families are trying to prove that vaccines caused autism in their children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_court Global Vaccine Sales With a carte blanche attitude about vaccine production and a fear-based ‘herd immunity’ rationale, pharmaceutical makers have all federal and state health agencies wrapped around their little vaccine vials. Vaccines will become the enforced medications of the future. Everyone will be forced to get vaccinated for everything and anything. Currently with prescription drugs, only those who are ill and need those medications, take them.


That’s not enough for Big Pharma. It wants everyone to be immunized for every possible disease, which is patently ridiculous since there will be more disfunctional and sick people who will overwhelm the cost of health care and all other statistical records, including the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to Time magazine, in 2009 health care was 17.3% GDP or $2.47 Trillion. Global vaccine sales for 2009 totalled $22.1 Billion! [USA Today, August 13, 2010] Pediatriac and flu vaccines led the growth in vaccine sales. Vaccines As Money Makers Vaccines are nothing short of Big Pharma money makers, as two charts below indicate the projected revenues into 2014. However, other revenues need to be included since many vaccines cause other latent, chronic, or long-term diseases for which Big Pharma, undoubtedly, will fabricate both studies and statistics to support the need for pharmaceuticals they generate thereby increasing the cost of health care.

Pediatric vaccine sales outstrip adult vaccine sales and are expected to increase at a faster rate than adult vaccines. Combination and pneumonoccal vaccines are expected to lead the growth. While adult vaccines currently make up 47.8 percent of the market, that share will likely decrease by 44.6 percent in 2014. Influenza vaccines will likely be the fastest growing segment of the adult vaccine market over the next five years. http://www.fiercevaccines.com/special-reports/blockbuster-vaccines-2020 For adult vaccine revenue information, see chart on next page.

Read on the next page how Baxter International, Inc. (Deerfield, Illinois) accidentally shipped the Bird Flu as a vaccine to 18 countries.


The Right Perspective - New York City March 6, 2009 Bird Flu Accidentally Sent As Vaccine

Officials at the World Health Organization and and the European Centre for Disease Control have launched an investigation into how live Avian Bird Flu virus (both H5N1 and H3N2) was accidentally shipped to 18 countries as Bird Flu vaccine.

Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. accidentally sent an “experimental virus material,” which mixed H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, to an Austrian research firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in late December. That company then shipped portions of the mixture to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. Subcontractors in the Czech Republic caught the error in early February when testing the shipment on ferrets. The animals died from the inoculation, indicating a live Bird Flu virus.

Pharmaceutical Companies Fraudulent Practices Perhaps we should examine some of the unscrupulous tactics pharmaceutical companies, the manufacturers of vaccines, employ to influence the practice of medicine, pressure and manipulate governmental agencies, and, in many instances, mislead the FDA. GlaxoSmithKline To ghostwrite an entire textbook is a new level of chutzpah. I’ve never heard of that before. It takes your breath away,” said Dr. David A. Kessler, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, speaking to the New York Times after reviewing previously sealed documents that reporter Duff Wilson accessed to write his November 29, 2010 article, “Drug Maker Wrote Book Under 2 Doctors’ Names, Documents Say.” The 269-page book, “Recognition and Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders: A Psychopharmacology Handbook for Primary Care,” is so far the first book among publications, namely medical journal articles, that have been criticized in recent years for hidden drug industry influence, colloquially known as ghostwriting. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/business/30drug.html http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/29/60minutes/main7195247.shtml

In June 2004 over GKS’s “deceptive, fraudulent and unlawful practices” in drug pushing to children its “anti-depressant” drug Paxil [called Seroxat in the UK], the New York State Attorney General filed the following lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline, et al:

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF NEW YORK THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, :

by ELIOT SPITZER, Attom~y [sic] General of the : State of New York, : Plaintiff,

COMPLAINT against GLAXOSMIT~KLINE, pIc., [sic] d/b/a/ GIaxoSmithKIine,[sic] SMITHKLINE BEECHAM CORPORATION,

d/b/a! GJaxoSmithKJine,[sic] Defendants

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. GIaxoSmithKline, pIc [sic] and SmithKline Beecham Corporation (doing business as GlaxoSmithKline and together referred to as "GSK") are collectively a pharmaceutical manufacturer with net income (adjusted earnings) in 2002 of over $6.9 billion. GSK has engaged in repeated and persistent fraud by misrepresenting, concealing and otheIWise [sic] failing to disclose to physicians infonnation[sic] in its control concerning the safety and effectiveness of its antidepressant medication paroxetine HCL ("paroxetine") in treating children and adolescentswith [sic] Major Depressive Disorder ("MDD"). GSK sells paroxetine in the United States under thenames [sic] Paxi]@ and Paxi][sic] CRTM. Unti][sic] 2003, GSK had market exclusivity for paroxetine in the US. http://www.ag.ny.gov/media_center/2004/jun/jun2b_04_attach1.pdf

GSK withheld five of six scientific studies showing that Paxil/seroxat was ineffective in use in children and it also increased the risk of suicide, self-harm and homicidal tendencies by three times. GSK published only the favourable [sic] study and actively suppressed the information of harm to children whilst pushing the drug for use in adolescents. http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/more-fraud-from-drug-giant-glaxosmithkline-companies/


According to the Press Release from NY Attorney General – 2 June 2004 This class of drugs [SSRI's [sic] or selective serotonin uptake inhibitors] now carry warnings that they cause “anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility (aggressiveness), impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, and mania” and have been associated with a number of murders by previously non violent individuals. But the GlaxoSmithKline company was not deterred from suppressing the risk information to children and withholding it from doctors to make sales whilst literally putting childrens’ lives and the lives of those around them at risk. http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/more-fraud-from-drug-giant-glaxosmithkline-companies/

The drug Paxil/Seroxat is also addictive! Another GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical problem

https://consumerinjuryalert.com/avandia2/index.php Avandia® Warnings

The problems and reported injuries related to Avandia® have led to increased warnings from the FDA about the risks of heart attacks and congestive heart failure. Many experts have pushed for a recall of the drug to protect consumers from serious injuries related to the use of the drug. https://consumerinjuryalert.com/avandia2/index.php

Health problems associated with Avandia® are another example of how pharmaceutical companies are able to get their products approved by the FDA, and how those products are harming people. The same analogy can be made for vaccine pharmacology and what’s happening to children. Roche Pharmaceuticals Flawed study backs Tamiflu (William Campbell Douglass, II, MD) Drug giant Roche is being accused of hiding key data from eight unpublished studies on its flu drug, Tamiflu… and, as a result, researchers now say there’s no evidence that the drug can reduce the risk of flu complications such as pneumonia. What are they hiding? Who knows — but you don’t lock the smartest and most attractive kids in the attic. The Cochrane Collaboration tried to update their earlier review of the research — but the company demanded a confidentiality agreement in exchange for access to those eight shady studies. I’m thrilled to say the researchers told Roche where to stick that agreement. Too bad that kind of integrity is all too rare.


In an editorial that accompanied the new review in the British Medical Journal, editor Fiona Godlee tore into the company. She wrote that the studies originally used to back Tamiflu were written by Roche employees and consultants, and that one researcher named in a study even claimed no involvement in the project. http://douglassreport.com/2010/01/08/hide-and-seek/

Of the trials, only 5 were judged adequate by usual Cochrane Collaboration methods, Dr. Jefferson and colleagues write. Most of the trials were at risk for bias resulting from poor descriptions of the methods, no description of losses to follow-up, and blinding. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/713604 Does oseltamivir, better known as Tamiflu, prevent complications from influenza, such as pneumonia and influenza? We're no longer sure, the Cochrane Collaboration, an international group that produces reviews of the medical literature, said in a paper published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) last night. http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2009/12/after-struggle.html

In October 2005 there was grave concern about bird flu; the use of Tamiflu; and the World Trade Organization was allowing governments to override patents during national health crises. See http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-10-25-bird-flu_x.htm?POE=NEWISVA Based upon the Cochrane Collaboration’s findings stated above, there’s the great probability that Tamiflu won’t work.

Abbott Laboratories Report Details Drug Company’s Close Ties With Disgraced Doctor After a Baltimore hospital barred a cardiologist for allegedly performing unnecessary implants of heart stents, the company that manufactures the stents hired him to consult and market the devices, according to internal e-mails and memos released today [Dec. 6, 2010] in a Senate Finance Committee report. http://www.propublica.org/blog/item/read-report-details-drug-companys-close-ties-with-disgraced-doctor

From that report: Later, when Midei’s practices came into question, Abbott sent him to consult overseas because in the United States, “the press is just too hot.” An email from February this year shows an Abbott executive recommending that the company “continue to work with him, behind the scenes, at this point. We’ve just decided not to have him doing any public type work in the U.S. right now.” http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/senate-finance-committee-report-on-cardiac-stent-usage-at-st.-joseph-medica

Reporter Marian Wang, of ProPublica, reporting on the above story said, “We’ve reported that hundreds of doctors who have been accused of misconduct or lacked credentials have been hired by drug companies as speakers and consultants.”

Pharmaceutical Companies Disinterest According to the January 5, 2000 issue of the British newspaper, The Guardian, “Multinational pharmaceutical companies neglect the diseases of the tropics, not because the science is impossible but because there is, in the cold economics of the drugs companies, no market.” http://www.globalissues.org/article/52/pharmaceutical-corporations-and-medical-research#PrioritiesofthePharmaceuticalIndustry


In May 2001 The Guardian newspaper reported http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/may/07/medicalscience.businessofresearch that a pharmaceutical company, Aventis, used to produce the only safe medicine for the late, fatal, stage of sleeping sickness. However, they stopped making it in 1995 because they couldn’t make any profit from it. http://www.globalissues.org/article/52/pharmaceutical-corporations-and-medical-research#ButwhyshouldthePharmaceuticalIndustrycareabouttheproblemsofDevelopingCountries “Paxil’s award-winning product director was quoted as saying, ‘Every marketer’s dream is to find an unidentified or unknown market and develop it. That’s what we were able to do with Social Anxiety Disorder.’” Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs http://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/19/big_bucks_big_pharma_marketing_disease

Amy Goodman, January 19, 2007 said, “A striking example is how Paxil was revitalized as a treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder. Its company hired a public relations firm to frame this condition as a major and common medical problem, and the firm launched a multifaceted campaign that moved beyond advertising to get stories about Social Anxiety Disorder placed in print media and on television.”[Emphasis added] http://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/19/big_bucks_big_pharma_marketing_disease

The above indicates how Big Pharma ‘creates’ the need for its products: prescription drugs and vaccines, by hiring public relations firms to spin or ‘create’ a disease. That has to be investigated since it borders on corporate governance influencing oversight agencies and health regulations. In many instances that also means health care consumers are being prescribed certain ‘medications’ and vaccinations with toxic adjuvants that increase the costs of health care due to vaccine adverse reactions. Creating Vaccines for Diseases After Their Precipitous Declines A perfect example of Big Pharma creating the ‘need’ for vaccines is verified in the following charts, which indicate that most infectious diseases that vaccines were formulated to prevent, actually had a self-limiting experience—a decline—and plumented worldwide many years before those vaccines were introduced. Figure 3: United States Tuberculosis Mortality Rates 1900 – 1960

Notice how precipitously TB deaths dropped. There is no vaccination for Tuberculosis in the USA.

Figure 4: USA Mean Annual Pertussis Mortality Rates 1918 – 1960 Notice how precipitously Pertussis deaths dropped before a Pertussis vaccine was introduced in 1948.

Figure 5: USA Mean Annual Scarlet Fever Mortality Rates 1910 – 1958 Notice how precipitously Scarlet Fever deaths dropped between 1910 and 1928 and that by 1958, there virtually were none. Furthermore, there is no vaccination for Scarlet Fever in the USA.

Figure 6: USA Annual Influenza Mortality Rates 1933 – 1965 Notice how precipitously Influenza deaths dropped by 1949 with a slight resurgence in 1953, to a low in 1961. However, the influenza vaccine was first widely administered in the U.S. in the late 1980s.


Figure 9: England & Wales, Mean Annual Measles Mortality Rates 1850 – 1965 Notice how precipitously Measles deaths dropped between 1850 and 1950. Measles vaccinations were not introduced in England and Wales until

1965. Figure 11: New Zealand Tuberculosis Death Rates 1880 – 1960

Notice how precipitously TB deaths dropped between 1880 and 1953 when the BCG tuberculosis vaccine was introduced in New Zealand. The following charts were produced by Raymond Obomsawin, PhD National Aboriginal Health Organization, October 2009 http://preventdisease.com/news/09/111009_infectious_disease_decline_vs_vaccinations.shtml Thank you for sharing this information, Dr. Obomsawin.


How Will Synthetic Genomics Induce Vaccine Adverse Events?

Will consumers ever know the real answers? Synthetic genomics technology needs to be ‘tabled’ until variables in currently-produced vaccines are sorted out scientifically, e.g., vaccines contributing to chronic diseases in younger and younger children since the 1980s when mandated childhood vaccines were enforced, and after a congressional investigation into current vaccine production methodology that includes neurotoxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth media.

~~~ About Synthetic Genomics Technology Synthetic genomics is a field of science in which genomes are designed using the computer and constructed in the laboratory using chemical techniques. When the genome of a potential influenza vaccine seed virus is synthesized and placed in a suitable cell, the essential starting material for an influenza vaccine can be produced. This technology holds promise to create a fast and flexible process to produce vaccines more rapidly when a new strain emerges. [Emphasis added] http://www.pharmaceuticalonline.com/article.mvc/Novartis-Announces-Agreement-To-Develop-0001?user=1966139&source=nl:28992

Novartis Products Lawsuits Novartis is reportedly facing about 700 lawsuits alleging that its drugs Zometa and Aredia lead to the death of jawbone tissue, a condition known as osteonecrosis. Ironically, Zometa and Aredia are marketed as bone-strengthening medications. In addition to strengthening bones and avoiding fractures, the medications are also prescribed to alleviate pain in bone-cancer patients. [Emphasis added] http://www.legafi.com/lawsuits/news/612-novartis-settles-zometa-a-aredia-lawsuit-

The FDA has taken swift and strong action by requesting that Zelnorm be pulled from the market. Simply put, the risks outweigh the benefits. The drug has been deemed too dangerous according to the FDA. … The FDA announcement regarding the GI drug Zelnorm describes the safety reasons for stopping the marketing and sale of this drug. A recall from marketing of a drug like this is a sign that Zelnorm has dangers that were not previously being told to doctors who were prescribing the drug. [Emphasis added] http://www.anapolschwartz.com/practices/zelnorm/index.asp

Novartis has been named in US lawsuits filed in California and NewJersey [sic] on behalf of consumers, accusing the company of conspiring with the American Psychiatric Association to "create'' a disease by hyping the benefits of Ritalin (methylphenidate) in treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to the Wall Street Journal. http://www.thepharmaletter.com/file/9089/novartis-named-in-ritalin-lawsuits.html [Emphasis added]

Elidel (generic name: pimecrolimus) is manufactured and marketed by Novartis. In December 2001, the FDA approved Elidel to treat eczema, an allergic reaction that causes skin inflammation. Unfortunately, millions of Americans used Elidel not knowing that it was linked to severe side effects, including skin cancer and lymphoma. In January 2006, the FDA ordered Novartis to add a black box warning to Elidel’s label detailing the increased cancer risk. [Emphasis added] http://www.consumerinjurylawyers.com/elidel/elidel-lawsuit.html


With numerous product liability lawsuits filed against Novartis, it seems it will be able to get off Scott-free from legal liability on any synthetic genomics adverse reactions because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and the U.S. Vaccine Court. That will be another travesty against unsuspecting infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens who are mandated to take vaccines/vaccinations. This will be another example of how corporate governance is dictating health care policy while contributing to the enormous increases in the costs of health care.

What can be expected of a vaccine maker with a history of product liability lawsuits and its desire to generate new vaccine technology, but without any risk of liability due to the workings of the Vaccine court?

~~~ Novartis Announces Agreement To Develop Influenza Vaccines Using Revolutionary 'Synthetic Genomics' Technology October 13, 2010

• Collaboration with Synthetic Genomics Vaccines Inc. combines synthetic biology and genome sequencing capabilities with leading edge vaccine technology

• New technology aims to create more flexible processes to generate influenza seed viruses, with the aim to speed up influenza vaccine production

• Development of library of fully synthetic flu virus strains and ability to rapidly generate new strains could speed response to seasonal and pandemic flu outbreaks

Novartis announced recently an agreement with Synthetic Genomics Vaccines Inc. (SGVI) to apply "synthetic genomics" technologies to accelerate the production of the influenza seed strains required for vaccine manufacturing. The seed strain is the starter culture of a virus, and is the base from which larger quantities of the vaccine virus can be grown. The three-year agreement, supported by an award from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), could ultimately lead to a more effective response to seasonal and pandemic flu outbreaks. Currently Novartis and other vaccines companies rely on the WHO to identify and distribute live reference viruses to create seasonal or pandemic vaccines. Under this collaboration, Novartis and SGVI will work to develop a "bank" of synthetically constructed seed viruses ready to go into production as soon as WHO identifies the flu strains. The technology could reduce the vaccine production time by up to two months, which is particularly critical in the event of a pandemic. "Our research strategy has always been to apply new vaccine technologies and innovation to deliver better prevention methods and meet patient needs," said Rino Rappuoli, Head of Research for Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics. "We are pleased to work in collaboration with Craig Venter and SGVI to study and develop this promising and important new synthetic genomics technology. It has the potential to safely reduce the time needed to develop new vaccines and improve pre-pandemic preparedness."


"Synthetic Genomics Vaccines Inc is pleased to be working with Novartis on this key application of synthetic genomic technology," said Dr. Venter, founder and CEO of SGVI. "The Venter Institute has a long and successful history of working with Novartis and we are excited to extend this relationship with SGVI to use the latest advances in our science to improve and enhance vaccine development and production." Novartis plans to test vaccines that could potentially result from this new approach in large-scale clinical trials. Review and approval from country health authorities will be obtained before any commercial use. SVGI is a new company formed by Synthetic Genomics Inc and the not-for-profit research institute, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI). JCVI is currently working to sequence genes representing the diversity of several viruses, including influenza virus, and Novartis has been working with JCVI for more than a decade to apply their findings in the genomics field to develop novel vaccines that prevent disease. The last collaboration introduced the use of genomics in vaccines research, a technology today known as "reverse vaccinology".

With regard to the statement to develop novel vaccines that prevent disease, everyone, and Congress in particular, must question how come the USA ranks 37th on The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems with countries like Morocco [29] and Costa Rica [36] ahead of it. http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html

Furthermore, the U.S. Total Health Expenditures as % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been 13.2% (2000), 13.9% (2001), 14.7% (2002), 15.1% (2003), 15.2% (2004) and 15.2% (2005). http://www.photius.com/rankings/total_health_expenditure_as_pecent_of_gdp_2000_to_2005.html Year after year heath care costs increase while year after year more vaccines are made and mandated that children and adults take them. A pattern is developing very clearly; just follow the money, as they say.

Congressional Hearings Added Health Care Costs From Vaccines/Vaccinations

May 17, 1999 U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, & Human Resources The Honorable John L. Mica, Chairman Testimony of J. Barthelow Classen, M.D., M.B.A. Our results show that the risk of immunization with several recommended vaccines including the hepatitis B vaccine are likely to exceed the benefits of immunization in low risk groups and the adverse events may cost US citizens over $10 billion a year as I will discuss later. …. The FDA can tract [sic] vaccine adverse events through both the VAERS system and the Large Link Database. The VAERS system relies on voluntary reporting of adverse events shortly after immunization. Our data on diabetes shows that vaccine induced diabetes may not occur for 3 or more years following immunization. ….

Our recently published data (4) shows [sic] that for every child that may have a prolonged benefit from the hemophilus vaccine, 2 to 3 children may develop vaccine induced diabetes. …. We found that the incidence of diabetes rose 60% in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B immunization program (1).

The CDC initiated a study to verify our findings. Their preliminary data has been published and shows hepatitis B immunization when given starting after 8 weeks of age is associated with a 90% increase in the risk of diabetes (2), supporting our findings.

Our data shows [sic] the risks of several vaccines are likely to exceed the benefits in low risk groups and cost US citizens over $10 billion a year. Our recently published data (4) shows that for every child that may have a prolonged benefit from the hemophilus vaccine, 2 to 3 children may develop vaccine induced diabetes. All told we estimate that there are over 10,000 cases of vaccine induced diabetes in the US each year. On average each case may cost $1 million in lost productivity and medical expenses. The estimated liability cost of the vaccine induced diabetes is over $10 billion per year. The current cumulative liabilities to the US government and to manufacturers could exceed $250 billion. [Emphasis added]

Development of safer immunization technology should be given priority over the development of new vaccines. Note: Hep B vaccine routinely is given within 24 hours of birth!

What Members of Congress Say About Vaccines

Probably for no other reason than political campaign contributions, most members of Congress avoid a discussion about vaccines and vaccinations. However, some members are conscience-struck and express their valid concerns. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) is a medical doctor who understands the issues better than most folks. This is what he has to say about swine flu politics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV5-Y08qbjo

Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) has a grandson who, two days after receiving nine (9) vaccines at once, came down with autistic symptoms. In December 2002 Congressman Burton chaired a hearing on thimerosal/mercury in vaccines, which is recorded at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id-gGYQihaM

~~~

Why Members of Congress Apparently Keep Their Silence To understand how Congress feels about health care issues and why members probably are reluctant to investigate Big Pharma’s vaccine ‘pseudo-science’, one only has to read the New England Journal of Medicine article “Health Policy and Reform, Remaking Health Care” published in the November 18, 2009 issue wherein very candidly it states:

Since 2006, the health sector has spent $1.7 billion lobbying Congress and federal agencies — more money than any other sector of the economy.

Dr. Robert Steinbrook, MD, who wrote that article, goes on to say, “If current trends continue, the health sector is likely to spend more than a half-billion dollars on lobbying in 2009. Pharmaceutical and health care products companies alone are likely to spend

more than $250 million, and the insurance industry, which is part of another sector, more than $160 million. In all cases, these would be record annual expenditures.”

What Pharma and biotech spend on lobbying Congress Doctor Steinbrook goes on to say, “For example, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), which represents pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has already spent $20.2 million in the first 9 months of 2009 — just $55,000 less than in all of 2008 — and ranked fourth among all organizations in spending on lobbying. ….Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company, ranked sixth (spending

$16.3 million, about $4.2 million more than last year).”

Additionally, The Center for Responsive Politics notes that a special interest’s lobbying activity may go up or down over time, depending on how much attention the federal government is giving their issues.


Who writes talking points for members of Congress? Furthermore, Lobbyists for Genentech, a subsidiary of Roche, and two Washington law firms ghostwrote at least part of the statements issued by more than a dozen lawmakers; an estimated 42 House members — 22 Republicans and 20 Democrats — used some of the talking points.3

[Emphasis added] So far in the 2010 election cycle, the Democrats’ fund-raising advantage has increased. The health sector has sent 59% of its contributions to Democrats and 41% to Republicans; the insurance industry has split its contributions 54% for Democrats and 46% for Republicans. http://healthpolicyandreform.nejm.org/?p=2358

Excerpts from the above-referenced article indicate just how much ‘payola’ is involved in pharmaceutical science; why legitimate and valid scientific research that challenges Big Pharma’s pseudo-science that may be responsible for vaccine-damaged children and increasing the costs of health care in the USA, is not heard nor given consideration. Where is transparency in government when members of Congress take pharmaceutical-generated talking points and use them as their own? That’s a definite conflict of interest on the part of Big Pharma and must be stopped immediately.

A call for an investigation of vaccines per se by members of Congress Congress ought to re-evaluate such inappropriate actions and pandering whereby legitimate contradictory science is not acknowledged nor even solicited. That is tantamount to sham representation on the part of members of Congress and oversight agencies such as FDA since only corporate business interests are considered and not the health, safety, and welfare of infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens. Because of all that goes on in the politics of health care, some of which is referred to as pseudo-science and results in hidden, controlled, and devious data, it is incumbent upon Congress to investigate vaccines per se and their toxic ingredients/adjuvants that cause adverse reactions and life-long illness and harm to infants and children, in particular. Furthermore, to ensure transparency in any vaccine investigation, Congress must include an equal number of “contradictory, opposition, and challenging” scientists, medical doctors, and researchers who dispute the ‘flat earth’ science that Big Pharma and FDA spout regarding such neurotoxins as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, formalin, and foreign DNA that make up vaccine manufacture as ‘safe’.

It states under Role of the Federal Government Under the Public Health Service Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has the authority to make and enforce regulations necessary “to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.”30 While this language appears to confer broad authority to promulgate regulations necessary to prevent the spread of disease, the only regulations specifically authorized by the Act relate to the apprehension, detention, examination, or conditional release of individuals.31 The Act does not specifically authorize regulations related to mandatory vaccination programs, nor do there appear to be any regulations regarding the implementation of a mandatory vaccination program at the federal level during a public health emergency. http://www.shtfmilitia.com/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=3529&start=0&&view= Since the posting date on the above information is July 13, 2009, what information have members of Congress received regarding mandatory vaccinations in view of the false pandemic of 2009 or any future ‘unwarranted pandemics’?

Government Agency Apparent Disregard for Science

Currently there is tremendous concern about ionizing radiation from full body scanners at the Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) airport security checkpoints. Many respected scientists in the fields of biochemistry and biophysics are equally concerned about health risks ensuing from such exposure. And yet, TSA—a government agency—instead of protecting people, chooses to expose the public to added risks. The same mentality exists at FDA with regard to vaccines and vaccinations with toxins, neurotoxic minerals, and carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., formaldehyde. On April 6, 2010, four colleagues at the University of California San Francisco (John Sedat, PhD, David Agard, PhD, Marc Shuman, MD, and Robert Stroud, PhD) wrote a letter of concern about those X-ray scanners to Dr. John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, wherein they said, Our colleagues at UCSF, dermatologists and cancer experts, raise specific important concerns: • A) The large population of older travelers, >65 years of age, is particularly at risk from the mutagenic effects of the X-rays based on the known biology of melanocyte aging. • B) A fraction of the female population is especially sensitive to mutagenesis provoking radiation leading to breast cancer. Notably, because these women, who have defects in DNA repair mechanisms, are particularly prone to cancer, X-ray mammograms are not performed on them. The dose to breast tissue beneath the skin represents a similar risk. • C) Blood (white blood cells) perfusing the skin is also at risk. • D) The population of immunocompromised individuals--HIV and cancer patients (see above) is likely to be at risk for cancer induction by the high skin dose. • E) The risk of radiation emission to children and adolescents does not appear to have been fully evaluated. • F) The policy towards pregnant women needs to be defined once the theoretical risks to the fetus are determined. • G) Because of the proximity of the testicles to skin, this tissue is at risk for sperm mutagenesis. • H) Have the effects of the radiation on the cornea and thymus been determined? To read entire letter access http://www.naturalnews.com/files/TSA_Naked_Body_Scanners.pdf

The same unscientific approach regarding body scanners is observed at the U.S. FDA where vaccine science is skewed to reflect the pharmaceutical industry’s marketing campaigns rather than valid biochemistry.


Again, the four doctors who wrote to the President’s Science and Technology Assistant reiterate similar contentions that those who oppose the ‘pseudo science’ of vaccines want resolved: Harm to humans from scientific technology that is forced upon unsuspecting and scientifically-ignorant consumers under the fear of penalty of the law, fines, and/or imprisonment. With vaccine issues, there also is the deliberate removal of children from their parents’ custody and care.

Why Don’t CDC & FDA Answer Questions? All vaccines are ‘safe and effective’ according to the U.S. federal health oversight agencies’ public position that is supported and promulgated by mainstream media. To question their ‘spin’ is likened to attacking motherhood and apple pie, and yet this ‘safe and effective’ mantra is very odd. Vaccine manufacturers were beset with so many lawsuits over vaccine injuries that they were threatening to stop producing vaccines. In other words, the cost of vaccine-related damage was becoming greater than the profits! Instead of exploring safety issues brought to HHS/CDC/FDA attention by public clamor and the unprecedented rise in lawsuits, government decided, instead, to take the vaccine manufacturers ‘off the hook’ by indemnifying them against the lawsuits through a special national program, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP pays claims awarded to families that a government vaccine court master deems injured. Many claims are denied. Taking vaccine manufacturers ‘off the hook’ has a frightening consequence: The elimination of lawsuits apparently results in less attention to safety in a ‘rush to profit’ thereby putting the public in ever-greater danger. See the book, The Risks of Prescription Drugs, Donald W. Light, PhD, Ed., for details on how the pharmaceutical industry is placing risk factors on the health care consumer. After researching and reviewing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documents, there is no other conclusion than both the safety and efficacy of vaccines are lacking and wanting. Thousands of parents are telling similar stories: “We took a normal, healthy child for his/her shots and after the vaccination, he/she never returned to normal again.” When parents of some of these vaccine-injured kids approach authorities, reporting that their child’s autism or other health anomalies were a sequel to vaccination reactions, the response is most interesting. We’ve heard repeatedly, “Well, its not the vaccines. Vaccines do not cause autism.” Considering that government agencies officials state they do not know the cause, how can they announce it is not vaccines? Until a massive public outcry, there had been no help directed at solving the riddle of regressive autism. These same agencies that profess so much concern for our children’s health, had turned a deaf ear to the pleas of these desperate families. How does one reconcile a total disinterest in a virtual epidemic of autism by folks who ‘care’ so much about our children that they are desperate to ‘protect’ them with vaccines? As you will see in this monograph, government agencies don’t agree on safety data either. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declares it’s perfectly safe to repeatedly inject aluminum into our babies while another agency, EPA, declares doses––even lower than those given to babies––as toxic for adults. Time and time again we find "one hand doesn't know what the other is doing” in government health agencies. Some of the vaccine "opponent" groups are quite emotional and, in their panic, may seem to rant a


bit but, then, many have been victims of vaccine injury, i.e., having lost their children to vaccine damage, erroneous legal charges of Shaken Baby Syndrome, or death. The horrible stories are legion and can no longer be viewed as the ‘coincidences’ physicians and bureaucrats have claimed throughout the years. A reading of the vaccine package inserts shows vaccines contain many ingredients known to be toxic, cancer causing, allergenic, and a cause of infertility in other animal species. For instance, Pentacel®, produced by Sanofi Pasteur which combines diphtheria, tetanus toxoids, pertussis, polio, and haemophilus b vaccines in one shot, lists the following excipients/ingredients in their December 2009 package insert: aluminum, polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, bovine serum albumin (cow protein), 2-phenoxyethanol, neomycin, and polymyxin B sulfate. http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm Post-vaccination symptoms listed in their package insert include fever, pain and redness at site, depressed level of consciousness, cyanosis [turning blue], vomiting and diarrhea, extensive swelling of injected limb, irritability, inconsolable crying and screaming [a neurological sign of brain inflammation, which Sanofi records as a Psychiatric Symptom!], apnea [not breathing], cough, meningitis, and pneumonia. Pentacel® does not contain mercury, however, multi-dose flu vaccine vials do—in the form of thimerosal, a preservative that is 50% mercury—a known neurotoxin. Of particular concern, other than mercury in flu vaccines, is the aluminum adjuvant, which is present in most other vaccines, including Pentacel®. The cumulative dose of aluminum now given to our littlest ones in the ever-increasing number of vaccines doses way exceeds EPA safety limits for grown men! When the science is explored, the behavior of government agencies in promoting and mandating vaccines does not make sense. We, unfortunately, are left with the belief that government has been ‘bought off’ by Big Pharma. At the least, vaccine/vaccination consumers should have a right to informed consent––just like any other consumer product, and to decline risking babies and children from developing chronic disease and/or an untimely death, in exchange for the possible benefit of preventing an acute disease from which the overwhelming majority of people recover—especially in these days of better sanitation and antibiotics. See disease reduction rates prior to vaccines in Vaccine(s) Ineffectiveness with Validation from Peer Review Journals Charts and Graphs on pages 82-87 in this monograph. The editors of this monograph attended and made a presentation at the Health and Human Services Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines September 2-3, 2010. On that occasion, we heard the report of Dr. Marie McCormick, MD, that there were no indications of H1N1 vaccine reactions among pregnant women. We were stunned when, immediately following Dr. McCormick’s presentation, there was public comment offered by Ms. Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Women, that the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had documented 178 spontaneous abortions following H1N1 vaccination.


Ms. Dannemann went on to say that she had received 70 additional reports through non-VAERS sources. No discussion of this discrepancy ensued nor was there any interest expressed by any member of the advisory commission panel. After personally confirming the VAERS and other reports, one of this report’s editors, Laraine Abbey-Katzev, contacted Dr. McCormick’s office to be sure her email address was correct. Laraine sent Dr. McCormick an email asking for an explanation of the discrepancy. There was no response, so Laraine sent a second email. No response again. Laraine contacted Dr. McCormick’s office and left a verbal message requesting a response. With no response forthcoming, a third email was sent and, to date [December 26, 2010], still there has been no response. The emails follow: To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, Sep 23, 2010 at 1:43 PM Vaccines for Pregnant Woman Dear Dr. McCormick, I am retired nurse-nutritionist dedicated to protecting and recovering our children's health through pure, natural, organic, whole-foods. Over time I have become concerned about possible harm from vaccines. As a result of my vaccine-safety advocacy, I attended (and made public comment at) the September 2 & 3 (2010) meeting of the ACCV during which time you made a presentation over the telephone to that same meeting. At that meeting, I understood you to say that there were no VAERS reports of miscarriages associated with the H1N1 Vaccine. However, Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Woman, [sic] delivered a public commentary and stated that there were 178 reports of H1N1 vaccine associated miscarriages, and other miscarriage reports of which her group had learned. I have subsequently read the VAERS associated H1N1 miscarriage reports, so can you clarify how you have come to say there are no such reports? I know you have a long history of concern and caring for the health of infants and children, so please explain why your report appears to be contradictory to the facts. Sincerely, Laraine C. Abbey Founder/President BetterFoodForBetterKids.org Sent: Saturday, Oct 2, 2010 To: [email protected] Dear Dr. McCormick, I am wondering why I have not received a response from you to my email below. Can you please explain the VAERS discrepancy between your presentation and Ms. Eileen Dannemann's?


Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 To: [email protected] Dear Dr. McCormick, I am loath to understand why you have not answered my two earlier emails regarding the discrepancy between your presentation and Ms. Eileen Dannemmann's as noted in the email below. At this time, given your failure to respond, I am left to believe that you failed to properly research VAERS; or were misinformed by a colleague who failed to properly research; or worse—that a colleague or you did not speak the truth. There are no noble explanations here. Again, and for the third time I ask you to explain the discrepancy in your and Ms. Dannemann's presentations. I assure you that as a committed truth seeker, this will not "go away" by your failure to respond. Another Case in Point When no answer was forthcoming from Dr. McCormick, an email was sent to another attendee of the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV), Dr. Daniel Salmon, as noted below. Dr. Salmon is the Director of Vaccine Safety at the National Vaccine Program Office of Health and Human Services. To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 1:21 PM Subject: Discrepancy on vaccine safety info Dear Dr. Salmon, I am confused by Dr. Marie McCormick's failure to answer my request for an explanation of a discrepancy between her presentation at the September 2 & 3rd, 2010 meeting of the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines and the presentation of Ms. Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Woman [sic]. You can read the transcripts of each online. Perhaps you could shed some light on this situation. I am embedding my relevant correspondence to Dr. McCormick as follows: At that meeting, I understood you to say that there were no VAERS reports of miscarriages associated with the H1N1 Vaccine. However, Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Woman [sic], delivered a public commentary and stated that there were 178 reports of H1N1 vaccine associated miscarriages, and other miscarriage reports of which her group had learned. I have subsequently read the VAERS associated H1N1 miscarriage reports, so can you clarify how you have come to say there are no such reports? Ms. Dannemann had an additional 70 reports directed to her organization. I look forward to clarification on this. What went wrong here? Sincerely, Laraine C. Abbey RN, CNS


Founder/President BetterFoodForBetterKids.org When Dr. Salmon did not respond to his government address email, a repeat email was sent to his other email at Johns Hopkins Department of Public Health with the following introduction. To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, Dec 13, 2010 Dear Dr. Salmon, I am resending my previously sent email below to this, your other, email address as I have not received a response. I am trying to make sense of this discrepancy. Please advise. Sincerely, Laraine C. Abbey [There has been NO response as of December 26, 2010.] And Yet a Third Case in Point is CDC-INFO As their website states: CDC-INFO is the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s national contact center, delivering health information to consumers, providers, and professionals calling or e-mailing on a wide variety of disease prevention and health promotion topics. CDC-INFO also provides customer feedback. William L. Atkinson, MD, MPH, is a medical epidemiologist with the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at CDC. Dr. Atkinson develops technical and training materials for immunization providers and conducts training on vaccine-preventable diseases. Atkinson made the following statement on the CDC-INFO section in November of 2008. “Vaccines have been used safely for more than 50 years. He also stated: The vaccines used today are much more purified than those used even 20 years ago, and contain only those constituents necessary to ensure the stability and sterility of the product, or to facilitate an immune response to the antigen.” The following inquiry letter directed to Dr. Atkinson through the CDC-INFO contact center, was received, since they responded with “Thank-you for your submission… Your comment on vaccines and the immune system have been forwarded…for follow up.” Laraine’s letter awaiting follow up read as follows: To: [email protected] Sent: November 10, 2008


Dear Dr. Atkinson, My observations and research do not validate your statement that "vaccines have been used safely for more than 50 years". Quite the contrary, my reading of the history of vaccines shows it is fraught with documented disasters [including the presence of cancer causing monkey virus, SV40, contaminating the polio vaccine]. I am unable to find any long-term studies on the health of vaccinated individuals and populations. Further, to my knowledge there are no properly done studies comparing vaccinated with unvaccinated populations. Also, I cannot find any double blind placebo controlled studies in which the placebo is an inert substance. The only studies I've been able to find cite placebos that are just other, older vaccines in common use. All vaccines contain a myriad of excipients many of which are toxins or potential allergens. Of considerable concern besides the mercury from thimerosal, is the aluminum adjuvant used in most vaccines. Have you ever added up the total number of aluminum micrograms injected into our kids over the course of their vaccine program? Concerns about these excipients are magnified by the dramatic escalation of vaccines given to individuals in the last 20 years or so. I know you are aware that the increase in neuro-developmentally damaged kids parallels the escalating vaccine program. How can you “know” that vaccines are not the cause? Please show me the specific studies that have “proven” to you that vaccines are not at fault. Interestingly and sadly, it appears to me that our institutions are more committed to preservation of the current vaccine policy, than they are to figuring out why we have so many damaged, diseased ridden children. While I understand and share your concerns about the possibility of a resurgence of vaccine prevented diseases, we cannot "stick our heads in the sand" in denial that we may be trading acute illnesses for chronic ones affecting much larger percentages of people. Since CDC's own documents and graphs show that most of these vaccine preventable diseased [sic] were sharply declining in the US anyway. This correlates with better hygiene, indoor plumbing, less crowding of people, as well as the advent of antibiotics. Some of the horrible diseases of the past simply disappeared in the States without vaccines ever being developed. Thus many of our fears may not be well founded. Further, we now realize how important nutrients are to general health and specifically to the immune system. Proper intravenous use of Vitamin C as Na+ Ascorbate ('Google' Fred Klenner, MD), zinc, and B-6 are among the nutrients that will have a powerful effect in controlling acute disease. There are many factors which make the possibility of a return of 19th and 20th century plagues very unlikely. Of course if we do not promote proper health which starts with whole natural foods, we will continue to deteriorate to such an extent that vaccine programs will become irrelevant. Our population, including our children, is sick and degenerated. We are beset with all


manner of diseases, chronic disorders and ailments. While the causes for this are multifaceted (and sadly unattended, as our disease care system is focused on treating symptoms rather than finding causes), one wonders how vaccines can be excluded as a contributor. The above "safety" statement could only reasonably be made if all of our populace, including our children, were healthy. That would require individuals being "symptomless and sign-less", certainly not a reality in our time. I await the references, which contain studies substantiating your "safety" statement, and wish to know what initiatives CDC or NIH (or any other related agencies) have taken to identify the source(s) of the neuro-developmental damage to our kids. Sincerely, Laraine C. Abbey RN, CNS [There has been NO response as of December 26, 2010.]

Are Vaccines Really Making Us Healthier?

Vaccination is associated with a dramatic rise in noninfectious diseases. The decline in infectious disease is rooted in sources other than vaccines, e.g., sanitation & nutrition. Results of the JAMA Study With the exception of 1918, when the influenza epidemic struck and people most likely died from pneumonia, the rate of deaths from infectious diseases shows a fairly smooth rate of decrease from 1900 through 1980, at which point a slight rate of increase develops.

Figure 1. Crude Infectious Disease Mortality Rate in the United States from 1900 Through 1996 (Graph from JAMA)


Figure 2A. Crude Mortality Rates for Influenza & Pneumonia (Graph from JAMA) Tuberculosis rates show a curve similar to the overall infectious disease rate. Interestingly, the death rate from pneumonia and influenza from 1970 through 1996 shows a general increase, in spite of the ongoing vaccinations for influenza and the introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 1977 and 1983.

Figure 2C. Crude Mortality Rates for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Measles, & Polio (Graph from JAMA)


Diphtheria shows its greatest decrease of deaths prior to 1920. There was a spike in diphtheria deaths during the early 1920s, shortly after vaccination was introduced, and then the rate of decrease continued as before the vaccination's introduction. Whooping cough (pertussis) and measles showed the same general trend of decrease during the 20th century. Finally, take a look at the chart for death rates from all disease causes. From 1900 into the 1920s, the infectious disease rate goes down at an impressive pace. This is a time during which there were no vaccinations against childhood diseases. The decrease in the rate of deaths continues at about the same pace well into the 1950s. Then, it starts to level out, in spite of the fact that the vast majority of children were vaccinated during this time.

Figure 3. Crude Mortality Rates for All Causes (Graph from JAMA) Now, take a look at the same graph showing the death rates from all diseases. This should make you nervous. The rate of death from noninfectious causes decreases slightly from 1900 through 1920. However, during the 1930s, when vaccinations start to be introduced, the death rate from noninfectious causes also started to increase!

We Need A Thorough Vaccine Investigation Now

The documentation in this monograph challenges vaccine safety and efficacy with its flawed science and devastating harm. However, through it another undeniable story emerges that greatly impacts the vaccine issue. In their article in New Republic, Arnold S. Relman and Marcia Angell, both former editors-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, share the following insights.

The pharmaceutical industry dominates just about every aspect of the American health care system that is related to its business interests. It uses its wealth and its political clout to influence all who might check or monitor its activities—including physicians, professional and academic institutions,… 1

The pervasive connections between the pharmaceutical industry and academia are not limited…. Virtually every research-intensive medical center in the country now has contractual ties with one or more drug firms,… 2

The public should be able to get trustworthy expert advice from physicians on what drugs [and vaccines] are safe and effective and which of these, if any, are needed for optimal and cost-effective treatment. This is unlikely if much of the profession and its institutions are in the industry’s pocket. 3

In her blockbuster 2004 book, The Truth About the Drug Companies, Dr. Angell states:

Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs [and vaccines] of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution which might stand in its way,… 4

Angell notes in her first chapter:

Perhaps the most quoted source of statistics on the pharmaceutical industry, IMS Health, estimated total worldwide sales for prescription drugs to be about $400 billion in 2002. About half were in the United States. So the $200 billion colossus is really a $400 billion megacolossus. 5 …consistently ranked as the most profitable in the United States––by a long shot. (Only in 2003 did it fall to rank third…) 6

Summarizing the Issue It is apparent that families and protectors of children are up against formidable pressures regarding vaccinations. As the nation with the most aggressive vaccination program [see U.S. Vaccination Rates & Chronic Disease Rates], it is noteworthy that U.S. children do not rank among the world’s most healthy children. One-sixth of the U. S. children are developmentally damaged. Autism strikes one in one hundred children. Given parental insistence of a vaccine-autism connection, coupled with the extent of failed health in our children, it behooves the U.S. Congress to investigate the contribution that vaccines and vaccine ingredients add to this damage.

Serious independent investigators will find research focusing on the backgrounds of the major stockholders and interlocking directorships of big pharma corporations very interesting, as well as the revolving door policy between government agency officials and lucrative positions with the pharmaceutical companies.

We are indebted to Vera Sharav, a professional law librarian turned public advocate for human rights, who is founder and president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP) for her excellent investigative reporting as follows. http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/blogsection/0/9/

Alliance for Human Research Protection A Catalyst for Debate www.ahrp.org

A report by Public Citizen documents the enormous scale of lawless activities by the pharmaceutical industry during the past two decades--crimes for which the government levied a minimum of $1 million in penalties. http://freepdfhosting.com/53888d5b53.pdf

Between 1991-2010, there were 165 criminal and/or civil settlements involving major pharmaceutical companies who paid $19.8 billion in penalties. Four of the world's largest drug companies--GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Schering-Plough--accounted for 53% ($10.5 billion) of penalties during these two decades.

If that isn't shocking enough, during the past five years, Big Pharma has been engaged in a veritable crime spree: 73% of these settlements (121) and 75% of the penalties ($14.8 billion) occurred between 2006-2010.

"While the defense industry used to be the biggest defrauder of the federal government…. The pharmaceutical industry now tops not only the defense industry, but all other industries in the total amount of fraud payments for actions against the federal government under the False Claims Act."

But government suits against the pharmaceutical industry have failed to address the harmful human consequences--WHY? http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/744/9/


Parents of damaged or dead children realize, “It’s the vaccines!” Congress owes it to them and to our nation’s future to thoroughly investigate vaccines per se. As Arnold Relman and Marcia Angell warn us, “The consequences of continuing to allow an essential industry to put profits above the public interest are simply too grave.”

FLUORIDE: How WRONG Can Health Agencies Be? Fluoride is a 50-year example! Well, on Friday, Jan 7th, federal health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finally admitted that American’s are getting too much fluoride, and for the first time in nearly 50 years, reduced the recommended level from 1.2 parts per million to 0.7. That’s a reduction of nearly 50%! http://www.askdrgarland.com/?p=3749

~~~ The following article appeared on KFSN-TV/DT’s website Friday, Jan. 7, 2011: http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/health/health_watch&id=7883086

Fluoride levels too high in water, feds urge reduction

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans Friday [Jan. 7, 2011] to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in nearly 50 years, based on a fresh review of the science.

One reason behind the change: About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a government study found recently. In extreme cases, teeth can be pitted by the mineral – though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it. The problem is generally considered cosmetic and not a reason for serious concern.

The splotchy tooth condition, fluorosis, is unexpectedly common in youngsters ages 12 through 15 and appears to have grown more common since the 1980s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But there are also growing worries about more serious dangers from fluoride.

The Environmental Protection Agency released two new reviews of research on fluoride Friday. One of the studies found that prolonged, high intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures and crippling bone abnormalities.

The fluoridated water standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 parts per million for warmer climates where people used to drink more water to 1.2 parts per million in cooler regions. The new proposal from HHS would set the recommended level at just 0.7. Meanwhile, the EPA said it is reviewing whether to lower the maximum allowable level of fluoride in drinking water from the current 4 parts per million.

According to a recent CDC report, nearly 23 percent of children ages 12 to 15 had fluorosis in a study done in 1986-87. That rose to 41 percent in a study that covered 1999 through 2004.


In addition, in 2005, the heads of 11 EPA unions, including ones representing the agency’s scientists, pleaded with the EPA to reduce the permissible level of fluoride in water to zero, citing research suggesting it can cause cancer. [Emphasis added]

In Europe, fluoride is rarely added to water supplies. In Britain, only about 10 percent of the population has fluoridated water. It has been a controversial issue there, with critics arguing people shouldn't be forced to have "medical treatment" forced on them.

For more information about the CDC’s position on fluoride, visit http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/

One of the ‘hidden’ facts about fluoride that is added to municipal drinking waters is this: It is an industrial waste product! Sodium fluoride [NaF], according to Wikipedia, … is prepared by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid or hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6), byproducts of the production of superphosphate fertilizer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluoride When fluoride orginally was added to municipal drinking water systems fifty years ago, it was an aluminum industry waste product. Dr. P.H. Phillips, biochemist, University of Wisconsin "Fluoride is an accumulative poison which accumulates in the skeletal structures, including the teeth, when the body is exposed to small daily intakes of this element. ...it is like lead accumulation in the bone until saturation occurs and then lead poisoning sets in.” Fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons. http://www.fluoridation.com/quotes.htm What does the January 7, 2011 CDC decision about fluoridating municipal water supplies teach us? The rationale and reasoning for this article on fluoride in a monograph on vaccines is this: To prove that government agencies make mistakes either unknowingly, willingly, or whatever—AND humans pay the price for those misjudgments. Similar mistakes are being made with vaccines, only the problems are much greater and growing exponentially while there is an organized media campaign to keep health consumers in the dark about the health hazards associated with vaccines and their toxic adjuvants, excipients, and growth medium.

Information Too Important Not To Include

Want To Know More? For information that details parents' and researchers' concerns, real-life horror stories, plus vaccine safety advocacy issues that are clearly spelled out, please see the 100 books referenced at: http://vactruth.com/vaccine-books/.

Old Is New Again… The old is new again...mercury and aluminum neurotoxicity...and congress isn't listening...Mercury and Aluminum in Vaccines is cumulative and synergistically toxic. Congress has heard this before: Opinion Report on Mercury Toxicity from Dental Amalgams and Thimerosal Presented to Congressional Hearing - May 8, 2003 Presented By Boyd E. Haley, Ph.D. Professor and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry University of Kentucky Lexington, KY 50606-005 “The concentration of thimerosal in vaccines that contain this agent as a preservative is approximately 125,000 nanomolar. In our studies pure thimerosal shows toxicity to neurons in culture at 10 to 20 nanomolar, a 12,500 to 6,250 dilution factor. Calculations, using a conservative approach, demonstrate that vaccinations of infants exposed them to concentrations of thimerosal that could biologically injure them…” “…roughly 6 to 15% of Americans, on the day they die, have what any competent neurologist or neurochemists or toxicologist would call severely toxic levels of mercury. These levels are about 1,000 times that needed to cause neurons to die in culture.” “The position of organized dentistry, primarily the American Dental Association (ADA), that "no valid scientific evidence exists that dental amalgam poses any health risk-other than rare, localized allergic reactions," is, in my opinion, indefensible in the light of huge amounts of published science.” “Even more concerning is the synergistic toxicity effects…” Al3+ [aluminum] is another component of vaccines and dramatically increases the killing of neurons by thimerosal.” [Thimerosal is 50 percent mercury, a neurotoxin; aluminum also is well-established as a neurotoxin in science.] “However, all of the scientific and biomedical facts together emphasizes the need for congressional action to stop the exposure of Americans to mercury and organic mercury compounds.” [Emphasis added]

Why are physicians still injecting people with mercury-containing flu vaccines and, in particular, pregnant woman whose fetuses are impacted negatively since aluminum http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=164929 and other toxins cross the placenta?

Autism and Heavy Metals Sorting out the spinning of autism: heavy metals and the question of incidence We argue that scientific research does not support rejecting the link between the neurodevelopmental disorder of autism and toxic exposures. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20628440

Online Vaccine Survey Parents Can Participate In VaccineInjury.info is conducting an online survey, State of health of unvaccinated children, that parents can fill out at http://www.vaccineinjury.info/vaccinations-in-general/health-unvaccinated-children.html This may be a first attempt at assessing the overall health status of unvaccinated children, something that government health agencies worldwide ought to be undertaking to establish a database from which to compare effects of vaccines and vaccinations.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors—to a striking extent—still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis has spent his career challenging his peers by exposing their bad science.

• In 1988, Dietrich used MRI to show that developmentally delayed children had alterations in their myelin. Coulter described that central nervous system damage can be exhibited as abnormal behavior of the child. In 1935, Thomas Rivers, experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) can be the result of a viral or bacterial infection of the nervous system. "The fact of the matter is that it is a matter of record that it was known that vaccination produced encephalitis since 1926." The authors stated, "In regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is rare. ... It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccinations and the encephalitis (brain damage) which follows it." Vaccines have been linked to seizures, convulsions and epilepsy.

A Word From the Editors

After analyzing thousands of words, documents, charts, graphs, peer-reviewed journals, data, and statistics from respected researchers around the world—including the U.S. CDC and FDA—I’ve come to an unexpected conclusion: There probably is a concerted effort “to push” vaccines and mandatory vaccinations regardless of the real, live, in vivo health problems being attributed to vaccines not only in the United States but in other countries around the world. As a consumer health researcher for thirty-five years who’s been tracking vaccine problems since the 1980s, I cannot understand how vaccine makers have successfully hoodwinked the FDA, CDC, media and press, and the public about the ‘purported safety’ of poisonous and neurotoxic ingredients/elements in vaccines that are injected into new-born babies, 4- and 6-month-old infants, toddlers, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens. Truly, it is incumbent upon the U.S. Congress to investigate vaccines per se with their toxins like mercury (a hazmat), aluminum (a neurotoxin), formaldehyde (an EPA-declared carcinogen), polysorbate 80, and other industrial ingredients used as immune ‘enhancers’. Frankly, I’m dumbfounded at the disregard vaccine makers show for elemental biology and chemistry. It seems to me that there’s intent to rewrite the chemistry books we studied about the toxicity of ingredients and what happens when you mix them together. We learned what happens in a chemistry lab beaker, but no one seems to understand that similar reactions take place within infants’ cranial cavities and their brains. The result is brain swelling and central nervous system damage. This bothers me personally because so many in government and other high places are willing to disregard the damage being done to pure, innocent, lovely infants, toddlers, and children—the future of the world.

~~~ There are major flaws in the presumption of safety and efficacy of vaccines and vaccination. The debate is larger than vaccines contributing to this massive epidemic of ‘regressive autism’ with its legion of mom’s clamoring, “It’s the vaccines.” This monograph implicates vaccination in a wide variety of disorders and health-damaging effects, which offset the ostensible good—even courts of law agree. Powerful interests are being served in this bizarre ‘drug & vaccine disease-care paradigm’ operating as the solution to our progressively failing health. Sadly, we have a pharmaceutical industry, which apparently pulled political strings to be taken ‘off the


hook’ for safety concerns by a misguided federal government that passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. Vaccines were incurring so many lawsuits that the pharmaceutical industry threatened to discontinue manufacturing them. The reasons government relieved them from lawsuit liability are hotly debated, but the result was an apparent rush-to-profit by an industry that saw great opportunity through indemnification by government. I’ve had the privilege of helping restore health to well over 10,000 patients in my clinical nutrition private practice. I counseled numerous families of neurodevelopmentally damaged, behaviorally disturbed, and learning disabled children. Most of them had excessive heavy metal burdens, i.e., mercury, lead, and aluminum. All of these children improved on nutritional programs, which eliminated toxic metals and corrected various nutrient-dependent enzyme defects. Vaccination injects toxic metals, which accumulate in brain tissue. We believe the evidence supports that these, and other vaccine ingredients, are contributing to brain and bodily inflammation with frightening sequelae. The now advancing agendas making vaccination a condition of employment and school attendance are clearly a threat to health as well as to autonomy. As a result, shouldn’t researchers independent of Big Pharma be in charge of vaccine safety issues?
