Great Info.. I am fighting for your belief..

[Guest guest]

By way of introduction, I like to tell people I'm a physician by training

and a compulsive researcher by inclination. To be specific, I've invested

more than seven-thousand hours investigating the under-reported health

hazards associated with vaccinations, along with the attendant ethical and

legal issues.

 

 

 

What started as a fairly modest research exercise has turned into a second

full-time career. I've discussed vaccination hazards on more than 50 radio

and television programs, addressed hundreds of professional, political, and

trade groups, produced two informational DVDs, and authored numerous

articles for both print publications and Internet sites. In addition, I'm

scheduled to produce two books relating to the subject over the next year.

 

 

 

The risk of vaccination must be considered as important-and potentially more

serious-than the risk of a childhood disease. Years of experience and

thousands of hours of research have lead to conclusions that are not

uniformly accepted: the importance of legally ensuring vaccine exemptions in

each State and the right to refuse Nationally mandated vaccinations.

 

 

 

Vaccination is a procedure and vaccines are medications..and both have risks

and side effects which are often ignored by the media and, worse, by many in

the medical profession. As a population, we are against being forcibly

medicated. We value our right to choose what is done to our bodies.

 

 

 

Humans are intrinsically healthy and tend to remain so if they are given

nutritious, non-GMO foods, fresh air, and clean water. We have been blessed

with God-given protective barriers against infectious diseases, including

our skin and immune system.

 

 

 

Knowing that these facts are true for all members of the human species, how

did we come to embrace the idea that injecting solutions of

chemically-treated, inactivated viruses, parts of bacteria, traces of animal

tissue and heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum, was a reasonable

strategy for keeping human beings-babies, children and adults-healthy?

 

 

 

If a " dirty bomb " exposed a large segment of US citizens simultaneously to

Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria, Haemophilus

influenza B, three strains of polio viruses, 3 strains of influenza viruses,

measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, the chickenpox virus, and 7 strains of

Streptococcus bacteria, we would declare a national emergency. We would call

it an " extreme act of BIOTERRORISM " . The public outcry would be immense and

our government would act accordingly.

 

 

 

And yet, those are the very organisms that we inject through vaccines into

our babies and our small children, with immature, underdeveloped immune

systems. Many are given all at the same time. But instead of bioterrorism,

we call it " protection. " Reflect a moment on that irony.

 

 

 

Vaccine injuries are reported to be " rare " , but only because very few

reactions are " accepted " by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the

Institutes of Medicine (IOM) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as

being caused by vaccines. I have frequently said that when a vaccine is

given, and a bad reaction occurs, " ANYTHING BUT " the vaccine is " blamed " for

the reaction. Here is a direct quote from the 6th edition of Epidemiology &

Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases called " The Pink Book " , published

by the CDC:

 

 

 

" There is no distinct syndrome from vaccine administration, and

therefore, many temporally associated adverse events probably represent

background illness rather than illness caused by the vaccine.The DTaP may

stimulate or precipitate inevitable symptoms of underlying CNS disorder,

such as seizures, infantile spasms, epilepsy or SIDS. By chance alone, some

of these cases will seem to be temporally related to DTaP. "

 

 

 

I have to admit, the first time I read that, I cried. Instead of blaming the

vaccine for causing the problem, we blame the children for somehow being

defective and the " defect " shows up after we inject them.

 

 

 

Another example of not blaming the vaccine for a reaction comes directly

from the National Vaccine Injury compensation table. Only a handful of

injuries are covered by this program; if your injury isn't on the table, you

don't qualify for compensation. The government says " there is no proof " -no

causal association-that the problem that was experienced, the seizure, for

example, was caused by the vaccine.

 

 

 

And timing of the injury is important too. For example, the Injury

Compensation Table states that if the baby manifests the symptoms of

encephalopathy -or brain swelling-within 3 days of being given a DTaP shot,

the injury is probably related to the vaccine. If the complication develops

on the 4th day-or the 5th, 6th or 7th day-it is not considered to be

" causally related " and the parent is ineligible to apply for compensation.

 

 

 

Sort of like saying the black and blue foot you have today had nothing

to do with the frozen turkey you dropped on it last week, because the

discoloration didn't show up within the time allowed to " prove causation. "

 

 

 

Side effects and complications from vaccines are considered inconsequential

because their numbers are supposedly " statistically insignificant. " This

conclusion comes from epidemiological research involving large numbers of

participants and has nothing to do with the individual person.

Population-based conclusions go against one of the most basic tenants of all

of medicine: to treat each person as an individual and believe them when

they tell you something went wrong after a vaccine.

 

 

 

A " one in a million " reaction may be rare, but if you are " the one " , it is

100% to you.

 

 

 

And even if the one-in-a-million reactions are considered " rare " by the CDC,

the health care costs associated with those " rare " reactions are not

insignificant. Here's one example.

 

 

 

One recognized complication of the flu shot is a condition called

Gullian-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Guillian-Barre is disorder characterized by

progressive paralysis, beginning in the feet and advancing up the body,

often causing paralysis of the diaphragm and breathing muscles within a

matter of hours or days.

 

 

 

Nearly all patients with GBS are hospitalized because of paralysis. The

prognosis of GBS varies. Up to 13 percent die and 20 percent more are left

significantly disabled, defined, for these purposes, as unable to work for

at least a year.

 

 

 

The CDC reports this side effect to be " rare, perhaps 1 or 2 per million flu

shots given. " Using the numbers determined from a variety of

sources-including medical journals and government documents, it can

reasonably be assumed that the flu shot may cause 40 cases of GBS per year.

 

 

 

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) database reveals that the

average hospital charge per person for GBS is nearly $70,000. Add another

$40,000 per person for rehabilitation costs after months of paralysis.

Therefore the cost to healthcare for this " rare " complication can be

approximated to be at least $4.4 million.

 

 

 

This conservative estimate doesn't include lost wages, reduced standards of

living for patients who returned to work but had to take a lower paying job

because of their illness. And of course, there is no price tag for the

" human cost " of being paralyzed and away from your family for months.

 

 

 

The advantageous cost-benefit relationship is one of the main

rationalizations given for supporting the national vaccination program at

all levels, infants through the elderly. But has anyone seriously analyzed

the cost of caring for vaccine complications?

 

 

 

This example of Guillian-Barre represents the cost of just ONE complication.

What if the costs for healthcare from all acknowledged side effects were

calculated and added to the cost of the National Vaccination programs? What

if we add in the parent-observed complications, such as refractory seizures?

 

 

 

Are we getting our money's worth financially? Are we getting our money's

worth in terms of a " healthier " nation?

 

 

 

What about other not-so-obvious costs incurred by vaccine mandates-increased

taxes and increased health insurance premiums to pay for the shots?

Increased administrative costs to track that they have been given? There are

many others, but I'll stop there.

 

 

 

There are three things to take away from this introduction:

 

 

 

1. Low infection rates and high vaccination rates should not be the

cornerstone of our public health policy. Vaccine reactions should not be

discounted, whatever their numbers. Further, the true cost-benefit of the

vaccination program must be considered, and what has been presented is

barely the tip of the iceberg.

 

 

 

2. Parents, and all adults, must retain their right to refuse vaccines.

They are not without risk, and those " rare " complications can result in

significant costs, both economic and in terms of human life.

 

 

 

3. Children, and all adults, who refuse to be vaccinated are being

discriminated against. They are losing their rights:

 

 

 

a. Rights and access to a public education.

 

b. Rights to access to health care, as doctors discharge them as

patients.

 

c. Rights to food because often moms on Medicaid are refused food

stamps.

 

 

 

These rights-including the right to refuse-must be ensured.

 

 

 

When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us-and force

us to vaccinate and medicate our children in the name " health " and " policy "

and for " the greater good " we, in essence, accept that the state owns our

bodies, and, apparently, our children.
