[CIDSNetwork] 20 Reasons to avoid the smallpox vaccine

 

 

Thanks to VacLib member, Amy, for doing a great job compiling this incredible

and thorough list of reasons!

20 Reasons Not To Take the New Smallpox Vaccine

by Amy Worthington

 

1. George W. Bush has said of smallpox vaccination: " One of my concerns if we

were to have universal vaccination, some might lose their life. " ~The Times (in

London), November 09, 2001

 

2. For each million people vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine, as many as 250

could die, according to the American Medical Association. Multiply 250 times 285

(millions of Americans) and the possible deaths from universal smallpox

vaccination could equal 71,250. ~ Journal of the American Medical Association,

June 9, 1999, Vol. 281, No. 22, p. 2132

 

3. " The American Medical Association said on Tuesday it was not in favor of an

immediate mass U.S. smallpox vaccination program, saying the potential threat of

a bioterror attack did not warrant inoculating every American against the

disease. " ~Reuters, December 12, 2001

 

4. " Right now the risk of getting the vaccine is higher than the benefit. You

could get a secondary infection, a full-blown systemic infection. " ~Marie Rau,

Panhandle Health District nurse, quoted by The Spokesman-Review, November 20,

2001

 

5. CDC director Jeffrey Koplan has admitted that universal smallpox vaccination

could unleash a significant number of side-effects. He said that because many

parts of our population do not have a " robust immune system, " a fair number of

people could have serious reactions. ~Koplan speaking on the PBS special

" Bioterror Propaganda "

aired by WETA, November 14, 2001

 

6. If the entire nation were to receive a smallpox vaccine, several thousand

people would likely develop encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.

~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001

 

7. Roger J. Pomerantz, chief of the infectious disease department at Thomas

Jefferson University in Philadelphia, said that doctors have no idea what the

smallpox vaccine might do to people at the extremes of life--less than 2 and

older than 65. He said that an even greater concern would be its effect on

people with weakened immune systems from HIV infection, chemotherapy or

transplants. ~Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001

 

8. " Researchers have been reluctant to recommend a new vaccination program

which would use the smallpox vaccine for the local population because the

vaccine can cause disease and death in persons with inadequate immune systems. "

~ Science, Vol. 277, July 18, 1997, pp. 312-13.

 

9. Routine smallpox vaccination in the United States ended in 1972. Officials

are hesitant to resume the immunizations because the vaccine is the most

reactive of all and has been linked to serious side effects, including death. ~

Reuters, November 29, 2001.

 

10. Eight printed pages of medical studies documenting the many serious side

effects of smallpox vaccination can be obtained at:

www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox.html See " smallpox vaccine adverse reactions

66-76. " [Note: go to the home page above and put " smallpox vaccine adverse

reaction " in the search engine.] Repercussions include serious brain and heart

diseases, autism, abnormal chromosomal changes, diabetes, various cancers and

leukemias, plus demyelination of nerve tissue years after vaccination.

 

11. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that vaccination must not be forced on

persons whose physical condition would make such vaccination " cruel and

inhuman. " In other words, the state has no right to command that an individual

sacrifice his life in the name of public health. ~Jacobsen V. Massachusettes,

197 U.S. 11 (1905).

 

12. By the 1920s, several British medical researchers documented that smallpox

was not only more common among the VACCINATED, but that the DEATH RATE from

smallpox was actually higher among those who had been vaccinated. This

indicates that the vaccine was ineffective and predisposed vaccinated persons to

more lethal disease. ~Vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner, Australia, 1993, pp.

205-220.

 

13. Getting a vaccination does not guarantee immunity. ~CDC, January 28, 1994.

 

14. By 1987, scientific evidence indicated that the World Health

Organization's 13-year global smallpox vaccination campaign may have awakened

dormant HIV infection in many vaccinees. ~Times (in London) May 11, 1987.

 

15. Vaccines made from animal substrate contain animal viruses that are

impossible to filter out. By 1961, scientists discovered that animal viruses in

vaccines, including smallpox, could act as a carcinogen when given to mice in

combination with cancer-causing chemicals, even in amounts too small to induce

tumors alone. They concluded that vaccine viruses function as a catalyst for

tumor production. ~Science, December 15, 1961.

 

16. Some of the new smallpox vaccine doses will be created with animal

substrate. Because the vaccine will incorporate vaccinia, the cowpox virus,

many wonder about possible mad-cow contamination. Fifty-five million doses of

the new vaccine will be created using a cell line dating back to 1966 and

cultured from the lung tissues of an

aborted human fetus. ~World Net Daily, December 4, 2001.

 

17. The new smallpox vaccine will be genetically engineered. Many scientists

believe that genetically engineered vaccines may be responsible for the global

epidemic of auto-immune disease and neurological dysfunction. ~American College

of Rheumatology, annual meeting, Nov. 8-12, 1998. Merck's genetically

engineered hepatitis B vaccine, Recombivax HB, is a classic example. According

to Dr. Bonnie Dunbar of Baylor College of Medicine, many thousands of reported

adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine include: chronic fatigue,

neurological disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and MS-like disease.

~Testimony of Dr. Dunbar to Texas Dept. of Health, March 12, 1999. Over 15,000

French citizens sued the French government to stop mandatory hep B injections

for school children because of resulting auto-immune diseases. ~Science, July

31, 1998. Dr. John Classen has published voluminous data showing that the

hepatitis B and other vaccines are closely linked to the development of insulin

dependent diabetes. ~Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, October 22, 1997

 

18. The British vaccine manufacturer Medeva has a horrendous record of

contamination and blunders. In 2000, the FDA found that Medeva was making

vaccines in conditions of filth, resulting in contaminated products. Medeva

had been illegally using bovine medium to culture its polio vaccines, then lied

about it. Medeva also used the blood of a Creutzfeldt-Jakob victim (mad cow) to

manufacture 83,000 doses of polio vaccine used for (against?) Irish children.

Nevertheless, the FDA allowed the USA to accept Medeva's flu vaccine (Fluvirin)

for the year 2000. ~London Observer series: October 20-26, 2000

 

19. In 2001, the British socialized health care system was reported to be in a

state of collapse, with many hospitals and labs operating in abysmal filth.

Five thousand people die each year from infections contracted in British

hospitals; 10,000 become deathly ill from such infections. Sterilization

procedures are barely adequate and said to be risking the spread of mad cow

disease. Government ministers are reportedly trying to hush up the scandal.

~www.itn.co.uk/ Jan 06, 2001; The Sunday Times of London, November 12, 2001.

 

20. The U.S. government apparently intends to conduct NO double blind studies

on the safety and efficacy of the new smallpox vaccine. It has ordered 286

million doses, one for every man, woman and child in America at a cost of $428

million. At least half of this vaccine will be delivered by Acambis PLC of great

Britain.
