"Into the Labyrinth:
Discovering the Truth about Vaccination"
(with updated links and
information)
A FRIEND ASKED ME RECENTLY if I was nervous to speak in
front of parents and professionals about vaccination.
I said, "Why would I be nervous to speak in front of
parents and professionals about vaccination?"
He said, "Because you were an English major. All you
did in college was write poetry and analyze stories."
A Greek hero named Theseus went to slay a deadly monster
living in the center of a labyrinth built by the king of Crete. The monster,
known as the Minotaur, had been eating youths and maidens sacrificed by the
Athenians in return for peace.
Theseus would have none of this. He sailed to Crete to slay
the Minotaur. There he met the King's daughter Ariadne. Ariadne promptly fell
in love with Theseus, though he was the sworn enemy of her father.
To increase her new love's chance of escaping the labyrinth
with his life, Ariadne gave Theseus a long thread to unravel as he negotiated
the maze.
Theseus accepted the gift, entered the labyrinth,
encountered the monster, killed it, followed Ariadne's thread back out to
safety, and all was well.
Theseus ended up marrying Ariadne's sister. But don't feel
sorry for Ariadne. She married the god Dionysus.
In 1978, I went to Oberlin College. Biology was my first
major, then philosophy. After my sophomore year, disappointed by what I called
"the institutionalization of learning" (large class sizes and the
virtual absence of the teacher-student relationship), I took five years off and
hitchhiked around the country and undertook my own education.
I read books. In particular I remember Robert Pirsig's Zen
and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Joseph Chilton Pearce's Crack in the Cosmic Egg, Loren Eiseley's The Immense
Journey, and Lewis
Thomas's The Lives of a Cell.
These books lived on the outer edges of academia but had
profound things to say about our culture and the world. Written by powerful
storytellers, the books encouraged in me a growing love for story and inspired
me to go back to school at S.U.N.Y. Purchase to get my degree in literature.
Three years later, in 1990, I came upon Joseph Pearce's
book, Magical Child, which argued that the natural capacity of children is immense and
kaleidoscopic, but that most children's development is thwarted by cultural
practices. I read Magical Child again two years later and a third time in 1997.
I remember it was the night before Thanksgiving. I was in
the throes of a very strong visceral reaction to the story told by Pearce, a
story told originally by the story's characters themselves: hospital insiders
and frightened mothers. That night I lay in bed unable to sleep because the
images from Pearce's book kept spinning around in my head. Women and babies are
being treated how by institutional medicine?
I decided to investigate. I didn't want to take Pearce's
story on faith. So over the next year, I perused medical journals and talked to
obstetricians and perinatal nurses and doulas and midwives and parents and read
key books in the field. And then I began to write articles on what science had
to say about childbirth.
A friend suggested I start a nonprofit. A year later, the
501(c)3 California nonprofit corporation Natural Woman, Natural Man was born.
http://www.SpontaneousCreation.org
Two years later, near the turn of the millennium, I was
living in Nevada City, California and writing a book -- what I thought of as a
"science-backed ode to nature."
I had been an occasional guest on KVMR (the local radio
station), speaking on breastfeeding and natural childbirth. I wanted to
continue speaking on these subjects, and the station was all for that. But they
said, "First we want you to talk about vaccination." I said, "I
don't know anything about vaccination. Can I just do my childbirth talks?"
And they said, "We want something on vaccination."
The first thought that went through my mind, after spending
years researching childbirth, was, "Now I have to spend years researching
vaccines, too?"
But I decided to do some cursory internet research, and I
found some very odd things. As someone who believed, as most Westerners do,
that vaccination has done great good, I was baffled by evidence to the
contrary. So I bought some books written by independent researchers. . . .
The great majority of the books had been recently
published. All of the books were heavily documented. And all of the books drew
conclusions based on raw, unaltered data on disease incidence and mortality
acquired in several different countries over the last two centuries.
None of the books made any connection between the practice
of vaccination and an improvement in human health. More fundamentally, none of
the books made any connection between the practice of vaccination and science.
How could that be? Isn't vaccination scientific?
Any guesses on how many long-term controlled studies have
been performed for all vaccines for all diseases in all countries in the world
since vaccination was invented in 1796?
Zero studies.
We've had 208 years to perform a long-term controlled study
on vaccination, and we have performed precisely none.
http://www.whale.to/vaccines/studies.html
http://www.whale.to/vaccines/abcnews.html
There is no lack of people to be part of the control group
in such a study. You can find a list of potential candidates on Tim O'Shea's
web site, www.thedoctorwithin.com. These are parents who not only don't
vaccinate, they give out their contact information so you can call them and ask
them how good their unvaccinated family's health is. There are presently 220
listings, for a total of over 800 unvaccinated persons.
www.thedoctorwithin.com (click on chapter titled, "Parents
of Unvaccinated Children")
And this is just on Tim's web site. You can imagine how
many people live in America alone who believe in natural immunity, who avoid
vaccinations, and who would be willing to be part of a group that simply
continues doing what it was doing before.
Now, what exactly is this vaunted thing, the long-term
controlled study? In the case of vaccination, a long-term controlled study is
taking two large groups of people and vaccinating one group and not vaccinating
the other, and then recording disease incidence over a period of several years.
Short-term studies don't give us any useful information about vaccine efficacy,
for reasons that make themselves clear with thought.
Now, why is it that we don't have any long-term
controlled studies on vaccination?
We live in an age of scientific studies. Governments and
private organizations study anything and everything under the sun.
Recently, the National Endowment for the Humanities spent
$25,000 to study why people lie, cheat, and act rudely on Virginia tennis
courts.
The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative
Disorders and Stroke spent $160,000 to study whether or not someone can
"hex" an opponent by drawing an "X" on their chest.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
spent over a million dollars to find out if drunken fish are more aggressive
than sober fish.
The National Science Foundation awarded a grant of $220,971
to researchers to study why women smile more than men. This study was a
follow-up to another study in 1994 on the meaning of smiles in general. The NSF
awarded another grant to study the history of the fax machine.
Everything is being studied all the time. Everything,
that is, except vaccination.
Why is it, do you think, that the pharmaceutical companies,
which fund studies, studies, and more studies, have no interest in funding
long-term studies on vaccination?
I don't know the answer to that question, although many of
the books I've read endeavor to speculate. If you want to learn about conflict
of interest in the vaccine world, I've got some links for you.

http://www.cspinet.org/new/200303101.html
Now, even though we don't have any long-term controlled
studies on vaccination, amazingly and thankfully we do have some recourse to
discover if vaccines actually work.
We can look back into human history. Indeed, if you look at
it right, human history can be seen as one big Petri dish. And it's a Petri
dish that's just waiting for the scientific gaze.
The science of looking back into history at the grand sweep
of disease in populations is called epidemiology. What does epidemiological
data tell us about vaccination and its effect on the Petri dish of humanity?
Is vaccination effective or not?
Looking at charts using unaltered government data on
incidence and mortality rates for the great diseases in the United States,
Australia and Great Britain from 1900 to the present, an interesting pattern
emerges.
Time and again, nature takes care of human beings without
any help from vaccination. Nature lays low those whose immune systems are
functioning at below-standard levels, and then disease incidence in the
remaining population declines to virtually zero.
Time and again, incidence of disease in human populations
rises, peaks -- then falls, falls, falls without any intervention from human
medicine. . . .
But interestingly, often a vaccine is introduced near the
end of the disease's decline. What happens to disease incidence after
introduction of the vaccine? The decline keeps going the way it was going, or
sometimes spikes upward for a short time. Either way, vaccination takes
credit for the disease's decline.
Sometimes, as in the case of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever, no vaccine is introduced before the disease declines. But vaccination
still takes credit for the decline.
It's a very neat system that unfortunately leaves out two
centuries of international epidemiological data. For clear graphs of this data,

Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective? by Neil Z. Miller
http://www.korenpublications.com/
I have talked to many doctors about these raw, unaltered
numbers and the charts based on them. None of them have seen these numbers.
None of them have seen the charts based on them. When I email them the graphs,
they say, "These numbers must be wrong."
Doctors who willingly admit that we have no long-term
studies on vaccination are absolutely unyielding on the issue of epidemiology.
And understandably so. They have been taught -- they have
had it drilled into them -- that the history of modern civilization is the
history of the triumph of artificially induced immunity.
So they are put into a corner, and they come out fighting:
"These charts are wrong! The numbers they're based on must be wrong!"
But the numbers are not wrong. These are the only numbers we have.
They are the government numbers -- raw data from many
different governments.
I am still waiting for a doctor to email me "the right
numbers."
So if we have no evidence from epidemiology that vaccines
work, and we have no evidence from long-term studies that vaccines work, we are
left with no evidence that vaccines work.
Independent researcher Dr. Viera Scheibner, in her bold
expose Vaccinations: 100 Years of Orthodox Research Shows that Vaccines
Represent a Medical Assault on the Immune System, sums up the position of
researchers not funded by pharmaceutical companies. She writes:
"There is no evidence whatsoever that vaccines of
any kind . . . are effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are
supposed to prevent."
www.whale.to/m/scheibner9.html
In fact, we didn't need Viera to tell us that vaccines are
ineffective. The vaccination hoax was exposed over 80 years ago. In January of
1923, a doctor named Walter S. Hadwen wrote an article titled, "The Birth
of the Vaccination Fraud"
http://www.mercola.com/2001/may/5/vaccination_jenner.htm
in which he talks about Edward Jenner's circus artistry in
pawning off on an unwitting public his unsubstantiated claims.
Our story deepens when we discover that Edward Jenner,
inventor of vaccines, and Louis Pasteur, creator of the germ theory of disease,
were the Barnum & Bailey of medicine.
These men weren't true scientists. They were, quite
unfortunately for us, showmen and hucksters.
They were salesmen.
As early as January 26, 1889, in an issue of Scientific
American Supplement magazine,
there was a report titled "Exposure of M. Pasteur's Methods," by Dr.
Lutaud of France. The report tells how many of Pasteur's claims, including his
claim regarding his curing of silk worm disease in France, were fraudulent.
A hundred years later, in 1993, Professor Gerald Geison, a
science historian from Princeton University, made a thorough study of lab
notes that Pasteur had ordered his family not to make public, and which were in fact made
public only after the death of Pasteur's grandson in 1975.
Princeton professor Geison compared these notes with
Pasteur's publications and presented his findings during a congress of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.
In his presentation, Geison said that Pasteur committed
scientific misconduct, that he violated medical, ethical, and scientific rules
and published fraudulent data.
Contrary to what Pasteur claimed, he never tested his
anti-rabies vaccine on animals before he started experimenting on humans.
Further, the vaccine Pasteur used during his famous "anthrax
experiment" on sheep was -- contrary to his claim -- not his own vaccine.
He stole it from a colleague. According to Geison, money was the primary
motivation for Pasteur's action.
Further, and much to our detriment, Pasteur stole and
misrepresented the ideas of his contemporary, Antoine Bechamp. Bechamp had a
marvelous theory of disease called the "terrain theory." The terrain
theory says that living creatures, including germs, are environment specific --
they do well in some environments and not in others. Bad germs flourish when
the terrain of the body is unhealthy. This indeed is a tautology. Another
tautology is: "Make the body healthy, and you've made your best defense
against disease."
But as we all know, Pasteur invented his own theory: the
"germ theory of disease," upon which modern medicine is based. This
theory says that if you've got a germ, you've got a problem.
Pasteur's solution? Heat them up until they explode.
"Denature" them. Kill them at all costs. Pasteur's theory won out
over Bechamp's theory because of Pasteur's dedication to the marketing of his
ideas. In the Western world today, terrain is ignored and the germ is all.
Pasteur was not the only snake-oil salesman to come down
the pike. Edward Jenner, whom history has come for some reason to regard as a
"great scientist," purchased his Medical Degree from St. Andrew's
College for the equivalent of $75.
After a single experiment with eight-year-old James Phipps,
with no clinical trials or follow-up studies, Jenner received the equivalent of
$150,000 from the British Government.
http://proliberty.com/observer/20020408.htm
His Fellowship in the Royal Society was obtained by what
even Dr. Norman Moore, his biographer and apologist, admits was little else
than fraud.

Hume's book, Pasteur Exposed: The False Foundations of Modern Medicine. See also The Curse of Louis

Science of Louis Pasteur, see:

Jenner, see Tim O'Shea's article, "Bringing a Dead Disease Back to
Life"

the Proofs That Vaccination Does Not Prevent Smallpox but Really Increases
It"
http://www.mercola.com/2000/dec/31/smallpox_vaccine.htm
Jenner's and Pasteur's hoaxes created a double helix of
hope in the face of the terrifying spread of disease. They provided exactly
what people wanted, which was confidence in the face of the possibility of
death from disease.
Now, we have to ask how much money modern intercessors
between ourselves and our health would make if the terrain theory had won out.
Is it possible to have a healthcare industry without
the germ theory?
I would argue no.
If Bechamp's theory had gained general acceptance, people
in general would understand that their health is their responsibility. They
would understand that the terrain of the body is influenced by everyday
individual choices. An apple a day, etc. If the terrain theory had gained
credence, doctors and hospitals would be back in their old functions of caring
for people who occasionally fall out of apple trees and break their arms.
Unfortunately, Bechamp's theory is known and followed only
by a minority of Westerners. Bechamp's story simply isn't as exciting as
Pasteur's. Where's the drama in eating an apple a day?
Stephen Jay Gould talks about scientific misrepresentation
in his book Dinosaur in a Haystack. . . . Gould writes:
"I do not speak of fraud, cover-up, finagling, or any
other manifestation of pathological science (though such phenomena exist at a
frequency that, in all honesty, we just do not know.) I refer, rather, to the
all too wonderfully human love of a good tale . . ."
So, at bottom, we're talking about our need, as human
beings, for the storification of the world. And then, yes, there could be
fraud, too -- and there is -- but at bottom we have this need for story. And of
course stories can be helpful or harmful.
But let's go back in time before the storytellers Jenner
and Pasteur -- much further back into history -- to a Greek mathematician named
Xeno. Xeno too was a storyteller, and he told the following story . . .
"An archer is aiming his arrow at a tree. Look, the
archer is letting his arrow loose! Look, the arrow is flying straight to the
tree! Look, it stops before it hits the tree!"
What?
Well, says Xeno, mathematically speaking, the distance from
the tip of the arrow to the tree can be divided in half. And then that distance
can be divided in half again, and then that distance can be divided in half
again. And this can go on indefinitely.
Therefore, an arrow released from the bow, forever halving
its distance to the tree, should never reach the tree. According to
"math," everything is infinitely far from everything else and
therefore can never actually meet.
What we can learn from Xeno and his story about the arrow
and the tree is that a story that is a great treat for the imagination and that
seems to make perfect sense can be false and is doomed to be found false as
soon as someone does something as simple as shoot an arrow at a tree.
Like Xeno's fantasy about infinite arrow-flight, the theory
of vaccination holds sway over our imaginations. The theory of vaccination
seems like a beautiful garden in which we can plant the seeds of our hopes. The
theory says that when a weakened version of a germ is injected directly into
the bloodstream, it inspires the immune system to create health-giving
antibodies in response. On the battlefield of the body, hordes of antibodies
act as bouncers for similar germs for years to come. Hey, we just conquered
disease! Culture improves on nature, and all is well. A beautiful and dramatic
story. And unfortunately, a story as false as Xeno's tale of arrows flying
toward and never reaching their target.
Let me say here that many of you may be questioning my
sanity, and almost certainly my motives, in saying that vaccination is nothing
more than a story without any scientific foundation.
Why would I say such a thing? What are my motives? What do
I stand to gain by submitting this view for public discussion?
As the director of a nonprofit corporation advocating
natural living practices, it makes sense that I would oppose vaccination, which
is clearly an artificial practice that bypasses the natural method of germ
intrusion by doing an end-run around the mucosal membranes. Therefore, one
might conclude that, because my salary depends on my opposing this artificial
practice of vaccination, I might oppose vaccination for financial reasons.
But my salary is as fictional as the stories I read during
college. I don't receive a salary. I don't receive financial compensation of
any kind from the nonprofit organization that I run. I never have and I never
will. I always felt that it was important not to receive a salary for my
nonprofit work, because I wanted to be able to answer precisely these charges
of conflict of interest.
Still, I am constantly criticized for "not presenting
both sides" of the issue. "Your presentation is so unbalanced that we
can't even listen to you." I have been admonished that some diseases must have been prevented
by vaccinations -- otherwise, why would vaccinations still be around? I have
been told that, if I want to maintain credibility, my presentation has to be
more "balanced."
More balanced? I'm a Libra. I have no problem with balance.
But all of Western culture, from the richest Bill Gates to the poorest welfare
recipient, is shouting from the rooftops that vaccination is an absolute good.
Where is the balance there? Western information mass media, including all
television, all newspapers and most other print media, present vaccination as
the savior of mankind. In my giving an alternate view, I am not even coming
close to balancing the scales.
Even if I wanted to present both sides of the vaccination
argument, I couldn't. There are not two sides to present. As far as science is
concerned, there is no evidence -- none -- that vaccination does what it claims
to do.
What about antibodies? Aren't there studies that show that
vaccines increase antibody count? Yes, such studies exist. But antibody count
is not the Holy Grail scientists once thought it was.
There is no evidence -- none -- that high antibody count
equates with health or leads to an increased ability to ward off disease.
There was a study done in 1992 in the Department of
Neurology at University of Chicago: "Severe (grade III) tetanus occurred
in three immunized patients who had high serum levels of anti-tetanus antibody.
The disease was fatal in one patient. One patient had been hyperimmunized to
produce commercial tetanus immune globulin. (CroneNE, Reder AT., "Severe
tetanus in immunized patients with high anti-tetanus titers," Neurology. 1992 Apr;42(4):761-4; PMID:
1565228 [PubMed])
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed&cmd=Retrieve&list_uids=1565228&dopt=Abstract
So high levels of "tetanus antibodies" gave their
hosts precisely no protection from tetanus.
Sometimes antibodies are present when diseases are
prevented, and sometimes they're not. Alan Phillips, director of the nonprofit
organization Citizens for Healthcare Freedom, writes:
". . . agamma globulin-anemic children are
incapable of producing antibodies, yet they recover from infectious diseases
almost as quickly as other children. . . . Natural immunization is a complex phenomenon
involving many organs and systems; it cannot be fully replicated by the
artificial stimulation of antibody production" (Epidemics: Opposing
Viewpoints, 1999,
pp. 105-106)
http://www.childbirthsolutions.com/articles/postpartum/dispelling2/index.php
The only scientific argument ever offered by the medical
industry in favor of vaccination is that vaccines produce antibodies. I'll say
that again.
The only scientific argument ever offered by the medical
industry in favor of vaccination is that vaccines produce antibodies.
But government statistics, medical research studies, and
FDA and CDC reports all show that vaccine-induced antibody production is
helpless against disease.
"Antibodies" are at best mysterious players in
the drama of immunity. I call them freakbodies, myself, and I even wrote a little
poem about them, called "Ode to Freakbodies." But hey, you don't want
any poets wandering the hallowed halls of science.
Frankly, and I apologize in advance to the Gaia-centrics
out there, I liken the debate on vaccination to the debate on whether or not
the earth is the center of the solar system.
It is of course possible that the earth IS the center of
the solar system, but there is so much evidence against it -- an astronomical
amount of evidence, in fact -- that one cannot really justify spending much
time advancing it. If it seems extreme to call vaccination a hoax, well, it's
pretty extreme that the earth is whipping around the sun at 66,600 miles per
hour.
I won't liken myself to Kepler or Galileo, because the
Galileos in this field, the first ones to expose vaccination, lived a century
ago and are long dead. They were great scientists and dedicated researchers,
and their names are legion.
And the Church of Modern Medicine ground them into
hamburger meat. If you are sitting in the front pews of this church, you should
read Dr. Raymond Obomsawin's book, Universal Immunization: Medical Miracle
or Masterful Mirage?
Let's go back in time, for a moment, to the waning days of
the year 2000. Members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS) have just unanimously voted for an end to all government-mandated
childhood vaccines. Why would the AAPS do such a thing? They would do such a
thing because, in the words of Dr. Jane M. Orient, AAPS executive director:
"Children face the possibility of death or serious
long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines."
What? "Death or serious long-term adverse
effects"? You mean vaccines are not only ineffective but dangerous? I
gotta get out of this labyrinth. There's no oxygen left and my torch just went
out.
One of the most serious adverse effects of vaccines is that
they often cause the very diseases they were meant to prevent.
Measles, for instance, which declined by more than 95
percent before the vaccine was introduced in 1963, is 14 times more likely to
be contracted by vaccinated than by unvaccinated persons. (National Health
Federation report,
November 1969)
In one Chicago study, 90% of people vaccinated against
measles got measles. (Gary Null Interview (December 18, 1997) with Jamie
Murphy, author of the classic work, What Every Parent Should Know About
Childhood Immunization)
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_244/ai_111271887/pg_3
A study published in 1994 in the Archives of Internal Medicine
evaluated all U.S. and Canadian articles reporting measles outbreaks in schools
and found that . . . 77% of all measles cases were occurring among vaccinated
individuals. The authors concluded that "the apparent paradox is that
as measles immunization rates rise to high levels . . . measles becomes a
disease of immunized persons." (Poland GA, et al. "Failure to reach the goal
of measles elimination: Apparent paradox of measles infections in immunized
persons," Arch Intern Med 1994 Aug 22; 154(16):1815-1820)
See Sandra Duffy's thoroughly researched and heavily
documented letter to her son's school district:
http://www.vaclib.org/letters/Letter_Oregon_School_District.htm
In a measles outbreak in 1986 in Corpus Christi, Texas, 99%
of the children affected had been vaccinated against measles. (TL Gustafson, et
al., "Measles outbreak in a fully immunized secondary-school
population," NEJM, 26 March 1987)
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/316/13/771
The authors of the study cited above write:
"We conclude that outbreaks of measles can occur in
secondary schools, even when more than 99 percent of the students have been
vaccinated . . ."
Notice the "even when" (instead of the more
logical "because") above.
A recent study has shown that measles-vaccinated persons
appear to be three times more likely to develop Crohn's disease and
two-and-a-half times more likely to develop ulcerative colitis. Since the
measles vaccine was introduced in 1968, Crohn's disease in children has
increased rapidly, with a 300% increase in Scotland. (Thompson, N.P,
Montgomery, S.M.., Pounder, R.E., Wakefield, A.J., "Is Measles Vaccination
a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease?" The Lancet 345 (1996):1071-1073)
Further, rather than preventing measles, the measles
vaccine may simply be suppressing it, only to have it manifest as other forms
of disease. (Jamie Murphy, What Every Parent Should Know About Childhood
Immunization,
1993, p. 114)
Associated with the measles vaccine are encephalopathy,
aseptic meningitis, cranial nerve palsy, learning disabilities, hyperkinesis,
and severe mental retardation. . . . " (Gary Null Interview (April 7,
1995) with Jamie Murphy, author of What Every Parent Should Know About
Childhood Immunization)
A recent study found that women vaccinated with the measles
vaccine pass on far less immunity to their offspring than women who are not
vaccinated.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/503025.stm
Before the vaccine was introduced, it was extremely rare
for an infant to contract measles. Now more than 25 percent of all measles
cases are babies under a year of age. (Daniel Q. Haney, "Wave of Infant
Measles Stems From '60's Vaccinations," Albuquerque Journal (November 23, 1992), p. B3)

immunity in infants of mothers who have not been exposed to measles outbreaks"

Sandy Mintz writes:
"Compounding the problem is the fact that the
population most vulnerable to measles, infants, is least
protected. Vaccinating too early can cause vaccine failure more often
and/or later booster shots to be ineffective. The Catch-22 is that in the past,
most mothers passed on naturally acquired measles antibodies transplacentally
to their offspring who were protected until 6-9 months. With the advent of
vaccines, a higher percentage of mothers will be seronegative (have no
antibodies) and will not pass those antibodies on to their children, at
precisely the time that the vaccines are not effective, and yet the infant is
most vulnerable. On the other hand, those who would ordinarily be better
off receiving maternal antibodies might find themselves in the untenable
position of having those very antibodies interfere with vaccine efficacy, with
the end-result that neither the vaccine nor the antibodies were
protective."

the United States," Journal of Pediatrics 1999 (Nov); 104 (5): e59)
In the above study, it was found that infants whose mothers
were born after 1963 (the majority of whom had been vaccinated) had a measles
incidence rate of 33%, compared with an incidence rate of 12% for infants of
older mothers, all of whom had not been vaccinated for measles.
This discrepancy makes sense, because vaccinated mothers
transfer fewer naturally produced measles antibodies to their newborns, so their babies are
more susceptible to measles.
In the case of whooping cough, the majority of
doctor-reported vaccine-related deaths are due to the whooping cough vaccine --
the "p" in DpT. In fact, the number of pertussis vaccine-related
deaths dwarfs the number of deaths from pertussis itself.
It is not known exactly how many deaths have occurred from
the pertussis vaccine, because doctors underreport vaccine adverse events. Normally
I don't trust the FDA to tie its own shoes, and certainly not to give candy to
babies (see http://www.sweetpoison.com/),
but if even the FDA admits that doctors report only 10% of adverse reactions,
we can speculate that the chances of dying from the pertussis vaccine are at
the very least 100 times greater than the chances of dying from pertussis
itself.
If death isn't enough, another serious adverse effect of
vaccines is chronic disease. Vaccines, it turns out, have a causal relation to
the growing epidemic of allergies, asthma, attention deficit disorders and
hyperactivity, and -- you guessed it -- autism.
Dr. F. Edward Yazbak writes:
"Autism,
as an entity, was unknown before the early 1940s . . . A steep increase in its
prevalence was noted in the United States starting in the late 70s and in the
United Kingdom after 1988 following the extensive use of the MMR vaccine in
both countries.
"A
new clinical picture also started to emerge around the same period.
"While
earlier, symptoms of autism were noticed shortly after birth . . . lately many
of the affected children are healthy and developmentally normal in the first 12
to 15 months of life.
"Sometime
between 15 and 18 months of age, they suddenly stop acquiring new skills and
then start regressing, losing speech and social dexterity. At the same time,
neurological, immune and gastro-intestinal symptoms appear: some children
develop seizures, some have recurrent infections and are prescribed repeated
courses of antibiotics and some start with peculiar eating habits and severe
diarrhea . . .
"Most
affected children today are not simply "autistic", a psychiatric
behavioral description. They suffer from a multi-system medical syndrome,
called Regressive Autism. They do not require psychiatric care and medication
only; they need medical treatment, dietary intervention and the close attention
of a multidisciplinary team of therapists. . . .
"As
far as many parents are concerned, the timing of the behavioral, speech and
cognitive changes appeared to follow the first dose of MMR.
"Some
parents have also reported that their children, after improving on special
diets, supplements and behavioral therapy, regressed a second time around the
age of 5 years shortly after receiving their MMR booster. Such double-hit
situation (challenge-rechallenge) has been accepted in courts and by a
committee of the Institute of Medicine . . . as proof of causation."
The vaccine "authorities," however, do not know
what causes autism but are "certain" that the administration of the
MMR vaccine is not responsible for Regressive Autism and are "convinced"
that any temporal association between the two is "simply a
coincidence."
Bernard Rimland, Founder of the Autism Society of America
and Founder/President of the Autism Research Institute (ARI) in San Diego,
writes that, even though the MMR vaccine does not contain the mercury
derivative thimerosal suspected of being a main cause of autism,
thimerosal-containing vaccines are still suspect.
"The fact that the number of cases of regressive
autism still continued to rise rapidly in the 90's, after MMR vaccination rates
had been consistently high for several years, seems to support this
theory."
Again, however, "The vaccine authorities have . . .
ruled out such a connection. . . ."
Now, guess what the CDC -- our main vaccine
"authority" -- left out of its November 2003 study published in
Pediatrics, a study which looked at thimerosal-containing vaccines? They left
out the fact that the relative risk for autism is 2.48 times higher for
children who receive 62.5 micrograms or more of mercury from thimerosal-containing
vaccines by 3 months of age. See Kelly Patricia O'Meara's article, "CDC
Study Raises Level of Suspicion"
http://www.insightmag.com/news/573542.html
In other words, it left out the fact that if you give a
baby many shots at once, the mercury in those shots can cause autism.
That seems like a pretty important fact for the
"authorities" to leave out of a report on thimerosal-containing
vaccines.
Now guess who was specifically responsible for dropping
this information from the study? A man named Thomas Verstraeten, who submitted
the study for publication and who at the time of submission was an employee of
GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company and vaccine manufacturer.
Now, this is a strange story to be telling, right? I mean,
one would think that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would want
to control and prevent disease. But clearly there are other forces at work. We
find this not-so-reassuring quote on the CDC's web site:
"The weight of the evidence indicates that vaccines are not associated with autism. But CDC knows that some parents and others may still have concerns about this issue. CDC is committed to protecting the health of children and to identifying the biological and environmental causes of autism and other developmental disabilities, so we will continue to study the role of vaccines."
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/vaccines.htm
(NOTE: The above site used to add that "CDC is committed to maintaining the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history." To which I reply: "As opposed to what other vaccine supply? You mean the vaccine supply that didn't work and wasn't safe before?" Just keep watching the CDC dance as more and more evidence comes out to demonstrate the already proved vaccine-autism connection.)
Institutional medicine doesn't lend itself to straight
talk, so if you go to medical institutions for medicine, timorously approach
the jabberwock and uffishly shun or shake the vorpal sword, you are met with a
barrage of doublespeak and zerothink, which are the children of the exclusive
worship of Mammon. Greed in, garbage out.
Fortunately, it turns out that our story doesn't ultimately
end with the CDC. Yes, the CDC and Jenner and Pasteur and the pharmaceutical
companies all combine to form the Minotaur at the center of the maze, and we
have to pay a brief visit to them.
But once the Minotaur is seen for what it is, once the
darksome veil falls and the coins cascade to the floor, the way out of the maze
is to go galumphing back to our own simple lives. That's where our story ends,
in our own houses.
Once we've negotiated the heady maze of information on
vaccines and "killed the Minotaur," we turn back to the simple life.
And what is the simple life? It is life as it should be. It is our bodies in
our own hands.
It's not the CDC's responsibility to prevent my disease or
yours. It never has been and it never will be. My health is my responsibility,
not the responsibility of some far-off government agency that doesn't know the
first thing about me.
This doesn't mean I don't seek the help of experts. In
times of serious trouble like autism, the help of experts is precisely what I
seek. But the government is not expert. Independent researchers are experts.
As families have begun to recognize that the CDC does not
have reliable sources of information at its base, that it is an agency mired in
conflict of interest and creaking under the tulgey weight of Orwellian baggage,
they have begun to turn to alternative information sources.
I am often asked for advice on vaccination. Because I am
not a health professional, but merely a guy who has done a lot of research, I
cannot legally give medical advice. All I can do as a layperson is present the
evidence that I have found and say what I would do in a similar situation.
So if you asked me whether or not I would vaccinate my
children for any reason, I would answer, "If I had children, I would not
vaccinate them under any circumstance whatsoever. Disease exists. Vaccination
is not the answer."
But let's say your child has been vaccinated. And let's say
your child has had serious adverse effects from the vaccine. Let's say further
that your child has been diagnosed with autism. What's your first move?
I don't know the answer to that question. Curative track
records are emerging rapidly, springing up like wildflowers after a forest
fire. It's a new frontier, and I don't pretend to be on the front lines. There
are, however, many pioneers at this conference who have some solid things to
say on this subject, and you may have heard some of them. If you pinned me down
for my thoughts on the matter, though, I would say the following:
"If my child became autistic following administration
of a vaccine, I would look seriously into the following options:
A gluten-free, casein-free diet, specifically the Feingold
diet.
http://www.baps-online.co.uk/28.html
Clay baths.
http://www.magneticclay.com/testimonials.php
Homeopathy. Amy Lansky's book, Impossible Cure: The
Promise of Homeopathy,
is inspiring.
http://www.renresearch.com/autism.html
Jaquelyn McCandless's new book, Children with Starving
Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder, is full of cutting-edge
information on autism treatment.
http://www.librarything.com/work/63711
For those interested in preventing autism, that too is within reach.
Fortunately, although vaccines are "mandated," no vaccine is
mandatory. You and your children can always avoid receiving any vaccine, even
when you are traveling to another country, by claiming any of three exemptions:
religious, medical, or philosophical. Some states do not allow one or more of
these, but all states allow some exemption.
State and federal governments give their citizens an out,
not because citizens' health is at issue, or because governments want their
citizens to have freedom of choice, or because governments in any way care
about you and yours, but because governments simply don't want to be sued for
vaccine adverse events.
What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions?
Money.
The much-touted success of vaccination is a story. It is an
epic of man's triumph over nature, a narrative that chronologues the victories
of grand-scale vaccination programs, a step-by-step account of the rise and
fall of dread diseases like polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, smallpox, and
measles. The story of vaccination is Biblical in its grandeur. Moses-like, its
heroes part the Red Sea of disease, caducei held high, bright sterilized
needles shining in the light of a praiseful sun. In the history of medicine,
there is simply nothing like it.
Vaccination is the greatest medical story ever told. And it
is, without any doubt whatsoever, a fabulous fiction, a story born of a few
individuals' desire for both fame and financial gain. The story of vaccination
is the greatest medical story ever sold to a penny-unwise, super-credulous
public.
But here's the good news. If a poet, a dreamer, can enter
the maze of information and disinformation on vaccination and grab the dogma by
the tail, anybody can.
The information is out there. Honest researchers writing
for honest purposes have left us a thin but strong Ariadne's thread both into
and out of the maze. All we have to do is hold the torches of our intellects
before us, find the thread, and put one foot in front of the other. And any of
us can sail back from the island of institutional medicine and land safely on
the mainland of common sense.
And the first thing we do on the mainland is buy Jamie
Murphy's book, What Every Parent Should Know about Childhood Immunization. This is a lucid, humble,
questioning book that in my opinion makes Murphy the Job of the scientific age,
but a Job who has alchemically transmuted his anger into gold.
Next we get our hands on Tim O'Shea's The Sanctity of
Human Blood: Vaccination Is Not Immunization -- truly a wild ride in institutional medicine's
Show Me The Money Rodeo. The book is now in its eighth edition.
And no mainland library is complete without Neil Z.
Miller's excellent books. And the list goes on. . . .
One last dip into the toxic world of vaccines.
There are many crimes against newborns routinely committed
in the modern-day hospital (and I use the word "crime" in its full
meaning). But one of the main institutional assaults is by needle. In U.S.
hospitals, newborns are required to receive the hep B vaccination before
discharge. This vaccine can cause hepatitis B and may result in serious debilitating side effects
and even death.
Now, aside from the fact that no vaccine has ever been
shown to work, there is another problem with mandatory infant hep B
vaccination. Hepatitis B is a blood-borne disease found largely in populations
of IV drug users and the sexually adventurous. By these criteria, the hep B
vaccine has no business in the bloodstreams of newborn babies.
How pharmaceutical companies have been able to keep key
epidemiological vaccination data out of medical school textbooks for four
decades I don't know. But they did it.
Now, neither you nor I can get to the pharmaceutical
companies. They're protected. They have protected themselves with the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
This program turns the U.S. government into a shield
between the pharmaceutical companies and the people they injure. The arrows of
parents' grief fly like rain toward their targets, but they can never reach
them. Not because space is infinitely divisible, but because pharmaceutical
companies are monstrously powerful -- powerful enough to convince a nation that
individuals who are vaccine damaged, and whose children are vaccine damaged,
should pay first in grief and second in tax dollars.
But I thought there might be a way to get certain key
information to the public so that they might more readily opt out of the industrial health
system. Most people don't know what's actually in vaccines.
I'd like to read my Vaccine Offer, which over five years
ago I sent out to several thousand people. The offer presently exists on 60 web
sites.
*** PRESS RELEASE ***
January 29, 2001
THE FOLLOWING OFFER is made to U.S.-licensed medical
doctors who routinely administer childhood vaccinations and to pharmaceutical
company CEOs worldwide.
Jock Doubleday, president of the California nonprofit corporation
Natural Woman, Natural Man, Inc., hereby offers $20,000.00 (U.S.) to the first
medical doctor or pharmaceutical company CEO who publicly drinks a mixture of
standard vaccine additive ingredients in the same amount as a six-year-old
child is recommended to receive under the year-2000 guidelines of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The mixture will not contain viruses or bacteria dead or
alive, but will contain standard vaccine additive ingredients in their usual
forms and proportions.
The mixture will include, but will not be limited to:
thimerosal (a mercury derivative), ethylene glycol (antifreeze), phenol (a
disinfectant dye), benzethonium chloride (a disinfectant), formaldehyde (a
preservative and disinfectant), and aluminum.
The mixture will be prepared by Jock Doubleday, three
medical professionals that he names, and three medical professionals that the
participant names. The mixture will be body weight calibrated.
The participant agrees, and any and all agents and associates
of the participant agree, to indemnify and hold harmless in perpetuity any and
all persons, organizations, or entities associated with the event for any harm
caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, to the participant or
indirectly to the participant's heirs, relations, employers, employees,
colleagues, associates, or other persons, organizations, or entities claiming
association with, or representation of, the participant, by the participant's
participation in the event.
Because the participant is either a professional
caregiver who routinely administers childhood vaccinations, or a pharmaceutical
company CEO whose business is, in part, the sale of childhood vaccines, it is
understood by all parties that the participant considers all vaccine additive
ingredients to be safe and that the participant considers any mixture
containing these ingredients to be safe.
The event will be held within six months of the
participant's written agreement to the above and further elaborated terms. This
offer, dated January 29, 2001, has no expiration date unless superseded by a
similar offer of higher remuneration.
Although 15 doctors, or persons claiming to be doctors,
have written me about the original $20,000 offer, none has followed through. As
of today's date, no U.S.-licensed doctor or pharmaceutical company CEO is
pursuing the offer.
http://www.spontaneouscreation.org/SC/$75,000VaccineOffer.htm
Real scientists and real science tell us that artificial
immunity, aka vaccination, is an emperor with no clothes on. As far as real
science is concerned, there is no evidence that you should vaccinate yourself
or your children, ever, for any reason, and lots of reasons why you shouldn't.
Today we are grimly reaping the rewards of the fulfillment
of our society's desire for a medical magic bullet, a bullet filled
with poison.
There is hope, however. My prediction is that within eight
years, vaccination will be, if not illegal, at least out of favor in the world
community. Of course, eight years from now is 2012, which, according to the
Mayan calendar, is the End of the World.
The end of the world. Scary.
Well, maybe not so scary. Maybe it's the end of one world
and the beginning of another.
Thank you.
