Tim this is the problem you will come across with all of these misguided antivaxxers. They live in the glow of the post vaccine era where the incidence of these deadly and crippling diseases have been so successfully and drastically reduced that they have convinced themselves that there is almost no risk. Unfortunately that is not true. These illnesses were not chased into the shadows by good sanitation or better medical treatment. There is NO treatment for measles, mumps, rubella, polio and many of the other diseases we vaccinate for and sanitation did not eradicate small pox from the slums of India and other similar places. Vaccines did that. Unlike small pox though the world has not mustered the inspiration and commitment to vaccinate enough people to eradicate measles, mumps, rubella, and polio form the human population so that we no longer have to vaccinate for them. So these disease continue to exist in pockets around the world. The antivaxxers claim that the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of the illness but this reasoning ignores the fact that as soon as we leave enough people unvaccinated these diseases will return back to their former deadly ubiquity. To follow their logic we should stop vaccinating and allow these diseases to return. Only when there are sufficient people dying again should we then vaccinate. Of course they only want other people vaccinated so that they can leach off of heard immunity and not take any risk themselves however miniscule from vaccines. Following this practice we would see episodes of devastating epidemics followed by periods of relative calm and up and down we would go riding this wave of insanity into eternity.If you look at the statistics macgvver, mass vaccinations were not responsible for the decline of these diseases. They were already declining and mass vaccinations did not accelerate the process. So for you to give so much credit to the vaccination program, is ignorance on your part. It seems to me that Big Pharma takes the position that more is better. Remember what happened with radiation? No one knew of the potential dangers until later on. Same thing with antibiotics. They certainly have a place, but using them the wrong way has now caused a problem with superbugs. And what about prednisone? That was a wonder drug until people started to have major side-effects. Now it is used sparingly for certain conditions and even then it is tapered.
... If you look at the statistics macgvver, mass vaccinations were not responsible for the decline of these diseases. They were already declining and mass vaccinations did not accelerate the process...I think you are misreading the stats. For instance, although deaths from measles had indeed gone down to probably just a few deaths per 100,000 population, during the years prior to vaccines. (That is still hundreds of deaths per year.) It had plateaued at that low level, until vaccines were introduced. At that point, when vaccines were introduced, especially, after the two part measles vaccine, the deaths from measles went down to (practically) zero.
Tim unless this provides you with a good way to work on your typing skills I would suggest you give up. You can’t reason with this person. She sees what she wants to see. It doesn’t matter how much evidence you present her with she will just discount anything that doesnt fit her world view.
We go through this exercise every year or two when one of these devoted antivaxxers comes here and its always the same thing. You can present them with all the data in the world. I haven’t bothered to do so in this thread because its always such a waste of time. All they will do is quote some minor study or make claims that have no reliable source or take something out of context. Its an exercise in futility. This is a religion to these people and its very difficult to reason someone out of a belief system based on faith or in this case based on an irrational amount of distrust.

There have been terrible reactions to the MMR vaccine, which is not just measles. No vaccine is benign, and it should be up to the parents to analyze the risks versus the benefits.

What am I doing other than presenting certain facts that you seem to be ignoring? All you are doing is putting me down and parroting what all the vaccine promoters say in an effort to make people who call the safety of vaccines into question, unreasonable. I think it is you who is being unreasonable because you're not even taking into account my research. If it's anti-vaccine, according to you, it's hogwash. You're categorizing me which then allows you to throw out anything I say as invalid. There are a certain number of children who are being hurt by vaccines, that is a fact. If my child was damaged, this would be an injustice especially if I had been mandated (or else have my child ostracized) to give my child the shot for the sake of the herd when there is no proof that these old diseases would come back with a vengeance as vaccine enthusiasts proclaim. Do the whistleblowers have nothing to say when they are jeopardizing their very livelihood to tell the truth of what actually is happening?
Outline Of Significant Developments In The Recent Revelations On Vaccine Safety Research Corruption
Posted on September 08, 2014 by Health Choice in News Last Updated: March 27, 2015
Senior vaccine safety reseach scientist Dr. William Thompson confesses that he and his reserach team at CDC have been hiding vaccine autism links from the public.
8/8/14 – Dr. Brian Hooker publishes an article in the journal Translational Neurodegeneration entitled Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young African American boys: a reanalysis of CDC data. The paper took a second look at the data used in the 2002 CDC MMR/autism study Age at first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in children with autism and school-matched control subjects: a population-based study in metropolitan Atlanta,and concludesthat there is a significant association between giving the MMR vaccine to black males under the age of 3 and the development of autism. This association was not reported in the published CDC study.
8/18/14 – A video is released on the Internet with audio purported, and later confirmed to be, discussions between Dr. Brian Hooker and CDC senior research scientist Dr. William Thompson, one of the original MMR paper’s authors. The video claims that Thompson told Hooker in phone conversations that the research team found the association between vaccines and autism, and then changed the parameters of the study to get rid of the association, so they would not have to report it to the public. In the audio Thompson expresses great shame and remorse for “lying" and for going along with what the “higher-ups wanted."
The autism and vaccine injury communities were outraged at the disclosure, and discussions on the matter began to flood the blogosphere and appear on social media under #CDCwhistleblower. More quotes by Thompson are released on the Internet.
A sample of the Thompson quotes:
“Oh my God, I did not believe that we did what we did, but we did. It’s all there… This is the lowest point in my career, that I went along with that paper. I have great shame now when I meet families of kids with autism, because I have been part of the problem.”
“We’ve missed ten years of research because the CDC is so paralyzed right now by anything related to autism. They’re not doing what they should be doing because they’re afraid to look for things that might be associated.”
8/25/14 – CDC releases a statement on their web site confirming that the study parameters were changed and that there were two sets of children studied. One was all the children initially recruited for the study; the other was a subset of children who had Georgia birth certificates. The statement also confirmed that a higher association was found between MMR and autism in children given the vaccine before the age of 36 months.
8/27/14 – Dr. William Thompson releases a statement through his whistleblower attorneys confirming the claims made about him and about the paper. He expresses regret that he and his colleagues omitted statistically significant data on the vaccine autism link, he confirms that it was he on the audio speaking to Dr. Hooker on the phone, and he states that he is providing information to Congressman Bill Posey and will continue to cooperate with Congress on the matter.
8/27/14 – The journal Translational Neurodegeneration removes the Hooker article from its website with the following statement: “This article has been removed from the public domain pending further investigation because the journal and publisher believe that its continued availability could cause public harm. Definitive editorial action will be taken once our investigation is complete." The journal then fell under criticism from members of the public who claimed that Translational Neurodegeneration did not follow its own research review policies in removing the article.
8/29/14 – More audio of Thompson is released in a video in which he discusses the firm belief inside the CDC that mercury in vaccines can cause tics, and he emphatically states that thimerosal should never be given to pregnant women, as is currently done. Since tics are four times more common in children with autism, Thompson proceeds to state, “There is biologic plausibility right now to say that thimerosal causes autism-like features."
8/28/14 – Reporter Sharyl Attkisson investigates the story and reports, “A spokesman for the journal Pediatrics today said the publication stands by the study despite the news.“ “There’s a standard process that journals follow when an article is questioned," said the spokesman. “Those discussions took place between the editors of Pediatrics and the authors of this study, and the editors concluded the research was appropriately conducted." However, Thompson, one of the study authors, confirmed that he was never contacted by the editors of Pediatrics. Pediatrics is published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which accepts vaccine industry funding.
Further, Attkisson reports, “The Director of the CDC Immunization Safety Office, Dr. Frank DeStefano, is a co-author of the now-questioned study which has been widely-cited to dispel an MMR-autism link. DeStefano is frequently quoted as an expert who debunks vaccine-autism ties.
“‘I stand by the research and the conclusions in our 2004 paper, and I’ll reiterate that the evidence, thus far, the weight of the evidence, is against a causal association between vaccines and autism,‘ DeStefano told me in a telephone interview this week.“
8/29/14 – Sharyl Attkisson issues a second report on the story, this time reporting, “In a statement, Thompson implies his CDC employer and colleagues have not always been forthright with the public about vaccine safety issues. But DeStefano argues their final analysis produced more valid results."
Attkisson also includes the complete audio with her interview with DeStefano, in which he states “at 36 months, an exposure around that time period is just not biologically plausible to have a causal association with autism." DeStefano provides no basis for this assertion.
09/2/14 – Attkisson issues a third report, highlighting a seeming reversal from DeStefano “biologically implausible" stance and an admission that they are not looking for cases where vaccines can or have caused autism: A coauthor of the questioned study is Dr. Frank DeStefano, Director of the CDC Immunization Safety Office. In a telephone interview last week, DeStefano defended the study and reiterated the commonly accepted position that there’s no “causal" link between vaccines and autism.
But he acknowledged the prospect that vaccines might rarely trigger autism.
“I guess, that, that is a possibility," said DeStefano. “It’s hard to predict who those children might be, but certainly, individual cases can be studied to look at those possibilities."
DeStefano is the head of the CDC Immunization Safety Office. It was his job to look for cases of vaccine-induced autism, most especially in light of both the rising numbers of children with autism and the vast number of parental reports nationwide of regression into autism following vaccination. Either he didn’t look for those cases, or he did, and he chose not to report his findings. Neither is acceptable.
9/8/14 - Ben Swann reports that Congressman Posey’s office confirmed that Thompson has turned over a “very large number” of documents.
9/9/14 - The Orlando Sentinel confirms that Congressman Posey has begun an investigation into the #CDCwhistleblower claims.
9/10/14 – Attkisson’s fourth installment reports that Pediatrics issued a statement standing by the DeStefano study, apparently not following its own ethical guidelines, as it didn’t contact Thompson, only the authors accused of malfeasance.
9/17/14 - Autism Media Channel releases more audio from the Thompson phone calls in which Thompson says that the CDC is 10 years behind on autism, because it is paralyzed by what it might find if proper investigation was undertaken. He calls for Congressional hearings and an independent investigation of the CDC’s actions. The video closes with Thompson saying, “I have a boss who is asking me to lie… I have basically stopped lying.”
10/9/14 – Autism Media Channel releases another video alleging further hiding of MMR/autism data, reporting that Thompson and his team found a link between MMR and what they described as, “Isolated" autism. It defined the phenomenon as children with autism who did not have any co-morbid developmental disorders including Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation (IQ less than 70), Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, Epilepsy or Birth Defects. The video states that, “According to Thompson, these were autistic children with no other obvious explanation for their developmental disorder. A subset that may have been injured in their second year of life." The video reports that CDC found that for this subset of children, it was more likely that that they had received the MMR between 12 to 18 months of life, regardless of race, compared to those who received MMR after 36 months.
Thompson is quoted as telling Dr. Hooker that, “The effect is where you think it would happen. It’s with the kids with out other conditions."
AMC reports that Thompson has provided documentation showing that CDC then abandoned the research protocol, revising the age groups examined so that children over the age of 36 months were no longer included in the study, and limiting the co-morbid conditions to ONLY Mental Retardation.
The video then further proposes that it may be that those changes were not enough to get rid of the association that they were finding between the MMR and autism, “… since in the end they simply omitted the relevant findings from the paper all together. Those findings were concealed from the editors of Pediatrics, its reviewers and the public.

Oh, I know, you've Googled up antivaxxer sites, all of which base their claims on cherry-picked data, out-of-context findings, confusion of "causation" with "correlation" and other inanities, all of which stem from a fraudulent study by a doctor who was debarred in Britain -- and neither the fraudulence of his study, or his debarment, has been reversed, as you falsely asserted earlier.

No matter how you slice it David, and now matter how you try to put me down by bringing up unrelated topics, the bottom line is children have been injured by vaccines. It must be up to the parent to weight the benefits and the risks involved, not government. As to which group is in denial, that's a discussion for another day.
... If you look at the statistics macgvver, mass vaccinations were not responsible for the decline of these diseases. They were already declining and mass vaccinations did not accelerate the process...I think you are misreading the stats. For instance, although deaths from measles had indeed gone down to probably just a few deaths per 100,000 population, during the years prior to vaccines. (That is still hundreds of deaths per year.) It had plateaued at that low level, until vaccines were introduced. At that point, when vaccines were introduced, especially, after the two part measles vaccine, the deaths from measles went down to (practically) zero. If you look at when mass vaccinations were instituted, most of the diseases that they were meant to protect people from were already on the decline. There have been terrible reactions to the MMR vaccine, which is not just measles. No vaccine is benign, and it should be up to the parents to analyze the risks versus the benefits. If you look at the stats it supports the idea that deaths from diseases were on the decline due to improvements in medical care, nutrition, etc. But if you look closely at the last several years, pre-vaccine era, you will see that the death rate had plateaued at a relatively low level. But that level, low relative to previous decades, was not effectively zero. It was still hundreds of deaths per year in the US. This leads to an easy estimation of tens of thousands, by now, of people who would have died from measles, if not for the vaccine, PLUS a very large number of survivors of measles who have associated complications. If parents are to be the ultimate arbiter in deciding the risks v. benefits of vaccinating, they need to be able to do an accurate analysis. Saying that the diseases were on the decline before vaccines (as if they would have gone away, altogether, on their own) is disingenuous and does not aid parents in such an analysis.

Saying that the diseases were on the decline before vaccines (as if they would have gone away, altogether, on their own) is disingenuous and does not aid parents in such an analysis. You're right, accurate analysis is key. From what I am reading: Doctors and other health authorities often try to frighten parents about measles by exaggerating the risks. Prior to the 1960s, most children in the United States and Canada caught measles. Complications from the disease were unlikely. Previously healthy children usually recovered without incident. However, measles can be dangerous in populations newly exposed to the virus, and in malnourished children living in undeveloped countries. Ear infections, pneumonia, brain damage (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis), and death are some of the possibilities. In advanced countries, measles can be severe when it infects people living in impoverished communities with poor nutrition, sanitation, and inadequate health care Complications are also more likely when the disease strikes infants, adults, and anyone with a compromised immune system. Two important points: They found that Vitamin A reduces the measles death rate. In 1990, the New England Journal of Medicine confirmed that vitamin A supplements significantly reduce measles complication and death rates. In 1992, researchers measured vitamin A levels in children with measles and determined that deficiencies were associated with lower levels of measles-specific antibodies, higher and longer lasting fevers, and a greater probability of being hospitalized. The authors of the study recommended vitamin A therapy for children under two years of age with severe measles. A 1993 study showed that 72 percent of all measles cases in the U.S. requiring hospitalization are deficient in vitamin A. The greater the deficiency, the worse the complications and higher the probability of dying. cont. on next page
Malnutrition is clearly responsible for higher disease complication and death rates. According to David Morley, infectious disease expert, "Severity of measles is greatest in the developing countries where children have nutritional deficiencies…The child wit severe measles and an immune system suppressed by malnutrition secretes the virus three times longer than does a child with normal nutrition.
Poor nutrition and a vitamin A deficiency are not the only factors known to increase measles complication and mortality rates. Standard treatment protocols may be detrimental as well. For example, when doctors administer antipyretics (fever reducers), such as aspirin) to control the rising temperature in measles patients, greater problems are likely. In one study during a measles epidemic in Ghana, Africa, children were divided into two groups. One group received antipyretics—typical treatment at many hospitals. Mortality was five times greater than in the group that did not receive this treatment. Researchers concluded that "children with the most violent, highly febrile form of the disease actually had the best prognosis.
In another study conducted in Afghanistan, 200 children with measles were divided into two groups. Once again, members of one group received aspirin to lower fever. The study revealed that children who received the antipyretics had prolonged illness, more diarrhea, ear infections and respiratory ailments, such as pneumonia, bronchitis and laryngitis, and significantly greater mortality rates. According to Dr. Harold buttram, who studied the data, "it could be inferred that interference with the natural course of the disease significantly dampened the immune responses of the children. The authors of the study noted that the "adverse effect of antipyretics, which makes the course of the disease longer, facilitates superinfections which give rise to high mortality. This study also suggests that "children suffering from measles should be kepts warm enough in order to have fever and pass the disease safely.
Dr. Robert Mendelson agrees that fevers should not be suppressed: "Doctors do a great disservice to you and your child when they prescribe drugs to reduce his fever…When your child contracts an infection, the fever that accompanies it is a blessing, not a curse…A rising body temperature simply indicates that the process of healing is speeding up. It is something to rejoice over, not to fear.
Other researchers have noted that "the development of cancer may quite possibly have been given a boost in certain cases through the repression of febrile conditions. In fact, pyrexia (a condition resulting from fever inducers) has been used in the prevention and treatment of carcinomas. Despite the evidence implicating antipyretics in prolonging disease and raising mortality rates, Dr. Scheibner ruefully observes that "the relentless suppression of fever in children with measles is still widely practiced.
In 1940, the U.S. military tested an experimental measles vaccine on enlisted personnel. Following severe reactions, the program was ended. In 1954, a team of virologists headed by John F. Enders, an American scientist, found a way to separate the measles virus from other substances and grow it in living cells. In 1960, Enders’ vaccine was tested, and in 1963 both a live-virus shot and an inactivated vaccine were licensed. By the mid-1960s, several measles vaccines were being given to millions of young children in the U.S. However, in 1967 the inactivated vaccine was removed from the market because it did not provide long-term immunity and was causing “atypical” measles. By the early 1970s, Canada and other countries had begun nationwide measles vaccination campaigns.
The measles vaccine has a long history of causing serious adverse reactions. The pharmaceutical company responsible for producing the measles vaccine publishes an extensive list of ailments known to have occurred following the shot. Severe afflictions affecting nearly every body system have been linked to this “preventive” inoculation.
The manufacturer also warns that the measles vaccine “has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential” and "it is…not known whether [it] can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity.

Acute encephalopathy followed by permanent brain injury or death associated with further attenuated measles vaccines: a review of claims submitted to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Weibel RE1, Caserta V, Benor DE, Evans G.
Author information
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To determine if there is evidence for a causal relationship between acute encephalopathy followed by permanent brain injury or death associated with the administration of further attenuated measles vaccines (Attenuvax or Lirugen, Hoechst Marion Roussel, Kansas City, MO), mumps vaccine (Mumpsvax, Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), or rubella vaccines (Meruvax or Meruvax II, Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), combined measles and rubella vaccine (M-R-Vax or M-R-Vax II, Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), or combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (M-M-R or M-M-R II, Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), the lead author reviewed claims submitted to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
METHODS:
The medical records of children who met the inclusion criteria of receiving the first dose of these vaccines between 1970 and 1993 and who developed such an encephalopathy with no determined cause within 15 days were identified and analyzed.
RESULTS:
A total of 48 children, ages 10 to 49 months, met the inclusion criteria after receiving measles vaccine, alone or in combination. Eight children died, and the remainder had mental regression and retardation, chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits, and movement disorders. The onset of neurologic signs or symptoms occurred with a nonrandom, statistically significant distribution of cases on days 8 and 9. No cases were identified after the administration of monovalent mumps or rubella vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS:
This clustering suggests that a causal relationship between measles vaccine and encephalopathy may exist as a rare complication of measles immunization.

VACCINES: AN IMMUNOLOGICAL FAIL
5/5/2015
Picture
I have often heard it said that people who oppose vaccines do so based on hearsay, conspiracy theory, and a lack of science to back their claims. At times throughout my personal journey into researching vaccines, vaccine safety, and the diseases they were designed to protect against, I wondered if those oft-repeated sayings were actually true.
Was I being influenced by the rare but possibly just coincidental stories of children dying or regressing into autism within days or even hours of being vaccinated?
Was I being coaxed into believing that vaccines were dangerous, when in fact the science had long ago proven that vaccines were safe and effective?
Was I really just gullible to believe that an increased childhood vaccine schedule over the past 30 years had anything to do with the modern day epidemics of autism, asthma, severe allergies, chronic ear infections, and SIDS, along with a myriad of other neurological and developmental delays in children?
If so, who exactly were the people I was seeing so much about? What would they have to gain from lying or misguiding the public?
In those days, not so very long ago, I was torn. I often heard that “anti-vaxxers” were just crazy; that they were science deniers and liars to boot. I frequently saw them being painted as either completely ignorant or as nut-job psychopaths. Everything I knew sang the praises of vaccines and their effectiveness. It is widely known throughout the world that the smallpox vaccine eradicated smallpox, and that the polio vaccine eliminated polio. We had to assume that the measles and whooping cough vaccines had all but wiped out those diseases, because… well, they aren’t as prevalent as they once were. Not only did it seem logical, but it was science; and you’d have to be crazy to argue with science, right?
In the midst of researching vaccines, based on a negative vaccine reaction in my own daughter, I almost shrugged off the “anti-vax” movement altogether and joined the side that wasn’t perceived as insane.
Lord knows it would have saved me a lot of grief… or so I thought.
But… no matter what I did, I couldn’t shake this nagging feeling in the back of my head that the AV’ers had a point. The more I read up on the topic, the less comfortable I felt with simply taking the advice of the six o’clock news or a Walgreen’s pamphlet. I began to question the current vaccine schedule, the ingredients lists, and the historical statistics we’ve all seen. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was suffering from a mind numbing case of common-sensitis. My brain could not get around the fact that even though they were called crazy or one-in-a-million, parents of alleged vaccine-injured children were out there in force, and the ever increasing number of heartbreaking stories available on the internet in numerous forums was mind blowing.
It was only when I let my common sense, critical thinking, and (guided)intuition take over my thought process, that I began to really see a much bigger, darker picture. Within months, I was completely and unexpectedly obsessed with the vaccine topic. I couldn’t read enough about it, or save enough links. I spent literally thousands of hours researching a wide variety of topics centered around the vaccine arena; and by the time I created a Facebook group(The Vaccine Gamble) and began writing about it here, I had seen more than enough to cement my new found opinions in cold, hard stone for life.
I began to collect information and organize hard data into files. I printed over 2,000 hard pages of peer reviewed studies, empirical data, historical statistics, every vaccine package insert on the market, CDC and WHO information(conflicting info), essays and journals by respected doctors, scientists, and researchers, corporate money trails, and actual stories of vaccine injuries. The collection of material I gathered(and continue to gather) would be enough to stifle even the most ardent of vaccine supporters. It was the confidence I needed to move forward as a voice in the vaccine arena.
It was comforting to know that I wasn’t the only one. I learned much of the information I craved from AV powerhouses like Dr. Suzanne Humphries, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. Andrew Moulden, Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, and many more. Other infamous AV personalities really stretched my mind further, including Marcella Piper-Terry, Shawn Siegel, Mary Tocco, Christine England, and Dr. Toni Bark, among many others. Their work seemed flawless; always backed by data and stats, as well as logical, well researched, and well written. They were the treatment I needed for my common-sensitis.
On the flip side, as I studied the “science” behind vaccines and their alleged benefits, which was far more prevalent around the internet and easy to access, I found myself questioning more than learning. Many of the studies in favor of vaccinations, which are often trumpeted by pro-vax zealots such as Dr. Paul Offit, Senator Richard Pan, Dr. David Gorski, Dorit Reiss, and many others leave much to be desired and to doubt. Many of these studies, I found, actually call for more research or specifically state that “a causal link had not been found”(which of course doesn’t prove it doesn’t exist). Many of the studies that supposedly “prove” vaccines are safe or don’t cause autism were actually funded by the very pharmaceutical companies that produce them. I began to see a pattern when reading these studies. Typically if a study claimed that vaccines were more beneficial than risky, there was some sort of financial conflict of interest. Since the vaccine industry is a huge, multi-billion dollar industry, conflict of interest is a pretty big deal. Concealing damning evidence of a product that can potentially kill a person in favor of keeping the public from a massive outcry seems to be the only option for the fully operational, tax-free drug giants like Merck, Glaxo Smith-Kline, and Pfizer. The more I looked at the zealots trumpeting the great success and accomplishments of vaccines, the more I discovered that they themselves actually had substantial financial and/or pharmaceutical conflicts of interest. On the other hand, the majority of those warning the dangers of vaccines have absolutely no financial ties or conflicts of interest. Many of them don’t make a dime for speaking out against vaccines, and started doing it because they felt it was necessary; to warn others of a danger they might not be aware of. I discovered that about 75% of those that speak out publicly against vaccines have experienced a vaccine injury, and are still dealing with the lifelong effects in their children or those near to them.
Dr. Paul Offit, probably the most well known vaccine zealot, is renowned for stating that vaccine injuries are “one-in-a-million”, and that a child can actually handle 10,000 vaccines at once. Both statements are so far from any shred of legitimacy that it should be enough to immediately dismiss anything else he says going forward. Add to that the fact that he became a multimillionaire from selling the patent to the Rota-virus vaccine he co-invented, and you really start to see a clearer picture of just the type of people who are paid to influence the masses.
continued on next page…
But enough about the weak, over-hyped vaccine science and obvious denial-ism of the pro-vax “extremists”.
What I really set out to write about today was an event I experienced recently that changed the lives of many who attended; it is well worth writing about.
On Sunday May 3rd, 2015, an event was held near Michigan’s capitol city that would effect how everyone who attended it viewed the entire vaccine debate. The featured speakers were Mary Tocco and Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD, Immunology. I had admired both since I began researching, so I was first in line to help raise funds to get them to MI, and then to buy tickets when the event came to fruition. I couldn’t wait to meet them; especially Dr. Tetyana, who is one of the most brilliant and respectable people I’d studied.
I would not be disappointed.
Mary Tocco opened the seminar in the morning slot. I’d downed a half a pot of coffee before the event, but promptly realized I wouldn’t need the assistance of caffeine to keep me attentive. She dove right into the vaccine topic and I could tell immediately that the crowd was in for a treat. Not only do she and I share similar backgrounds and a similar back story, but she also has Michiganian roots. She’s been studying vaccines and speaking publicly for over 20 years, and you could tell. She’s a very gifted speaker, and has somehow defied age and laughed at it in the face. I guess that’s just a fancy way of saying that she’s the complete package as a public speaker. Factual, charming, funny at times, energetic, poised, and controlled. I left with the impression that if everyone in the country was forced to watch a Mary Tocco presentation live, the pharmaceutical companies would go bankrupt within months. She is a powerful speaker, and had the room buzzing the entire morning. She covered a wide variety of vaccine discussion aspects, like:
>The impact of sanitation and clean water in the civilized world and the role it played in reducing many of the diseases we still vaccinate for today.
>The timeline of viruses and how they were discovered, to vaccine developments and natural disease declines before vaccine introduction, based on historical graphs and morbidity rates.
>Recommendation of the book - “Dr. Mary’s Monkey” (about the polio vaccine development and the corruption involved), and how the inventor of the Polio vaccine, Jonas Salk, actually admitted that the vaccine was responsible for most cases of Polio in the 60’s, which led to the Federal Regulation to call for all polio vaccines to be pulled from the market in 1961. It never happened.
>The number of vaccines given 30 years ago compared with today, which should be a huge red flag when we consider that the current schedule has never been studied for negative effects, and that in the last 30 years, we’ve seen dramatic increases in a myriad of neurological disorders and autism, increasing as the vaccine schedule increases.
>Dr. Gregory Poland admits that the measles vaccine is a dud.
>St. Judes Children’s Hospital warns people to avoid those recently vaccinated with a live virus vaccine, for risk of virus transmission.
> A very large list of peer reviewed literature that warn of a plethora of issues with vaccine ingredients and schedules(I’ll include some in a video at the end of this blog).
> The U.S has the second worst newborn death rate in the modern world.
> 70% of SIDS deaths occur within 3 weeks of DTaP administration.
> A child’s immune system can take up to seven years to develop fully.
> Immune dysfunction, hypersensitivity, auto-immunity, inflammation: these are all things going wrong in certain children as we learn more about negative reactions to vaccines.
> Adjuvants are foreign to the human body when bypassing the digestive tract; aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, potassium, peanut oil, and glycerol are all used as adjuvants and injected into our bodies. Our bodies do not know how to respond to these foreign ingredients that have bypassed the digestive tract, and sometimes attack them, creating future allergies to some foods like peanuts.
> Referenced the “Aspen study”, of which 100 premature infants were given vaccines with reduced levels of aluminum, and another 100 premature infants were given normal amounts. Look the results up; I’ll only say the study clearly demonstrates the dangers of aluminum.
> The unscientific approach of “one size fits all” with vaccines is an approach unique to vaccines. Why?
> A sick medical system that is designed to keep you sick.
> The problem with general public ignorance and political corruption.
>Many other points, always backed by extensive research and scientific studies.
>She also announced that she is collecting information on her website and compiling vaccine injury stories. If your child was injured by vaccines, you can email her at Mary@marytocco.com, and submit your information.
By the time Mary was done speaking, I’d been personally re-assured that one of the best decisions I’d ever made was to stop vaccinating my kids. I’d already learned much of the information she presented, but she really expressed it in a way that was hard to forget. I had filled up three pages of notes in my binder, and had taken over 30 minutes of video.
And that was before Dr. Tetyana even took the floor.
After a break for lunch, during which I introduced myself to both of them and chatted with each briefly, Dr. Obukhanych, PhD in immunology from Rockefellar University(NY), Harvard Medical School(post doctorate training), and Stanford University, took the floor.
Petite in stature and wielding a naturally quiet demeanor, she doesn’t strike you as someone who would be good at speaking publicly, but she soon puts any doubts you may have had to shame. Once you get used to the strong Ukrainian accent and subtle sense of humor, she leaves you in awe at the amount of knowledge she has about the human immune system. She’s an expert at dismantling the popular theory of “Herd Immunity”, and the surrounding misinformation and common errors in understanding it. She gives great insight into the human body and how “Mother Nature” designed it to function best at naturally warding off diseases. There are many things we now know that can naturally fight off illness or even prevent it. Vaccines are not one of them.
Dr. Tetyana(as she’s affectionately referred to, probably to avoid having to pronounce her last name) is an immune system expert, but even she admits that there is still much to be discovered within the human immune system. Biological science is not a finished book by any means, and we continue to make new discoveries constantly. She contends that this is a reason we cannot fully rely on our previous “accomplishments”, such as vaccines, as the solution to disease eradication. In fact, her stance is that viruses, in many ways, are actually more beneficial to us than not , and if you heard her explain why, you’d probably agree. She also points out that all vaccination is doing is allowing viruses and bacteria to evolve to outsmart the vaccine, and we can see it happening with some of the new strains outpacing the vaccines.
Dr. Tetyana’s presentation was titled: “The Virus: Enemy or Ally?”
As my pen was flying about a mile a minute(she doesn’t allow unauthorized video or pictures of herself), she went into great detail, with the assistance of well designed slides, on how our immune systems work.
In a topic that is at times quite difficult to grasp without significant formal training, she navigates the subject with ease, breaking it down quite simply and in terms that the average parent can understand. That said, please take my following “quotes” from her loosely, as they are only based on notes I took and are my words and not directly hers. She offers live online classes, where you can register at: www.naturalimmunityfundamentals.com. If what I include here interests you, I encourage you to sign up for yourself. What I am going to write pales in comparison to hearing it come from her.
Dr. Tetyana explains that there are two branches in our very own anti-viral immune defense: The containment, which is the “Innate Branch”, and the clean-up, which is the “Adaptive Branch”.
The innate branch features “Interferon”, which is our body’s way of containing a virus and not allowing it to get any farther in replication. Vitamins A and C are crucial partners to our interferon; V-C produces more Interferon, and V-A stimulates it. This is why vitamin A is such an effective supplement to ward off viral diseases like the measles; because it inhibits virus replication and doesn’t allow the disease to get any worse than a mild case. We can easily see this by studying 3rd world countries and their morbidity/mortality rates. Many of them do not have unlimited access to vitamin rich food or clean water, and their disease morbidity and mortality is far worse than a country like the U.S.
The Adaptive Branch features “T-Killer Cells” and “Antibodies”. Everyone reading this is no doubt well aware of what antibodies are, but few know about t-killer cells. T-Killers lie dormant until there is a virus present to fight. At that point, they go into overtime, fighting virally infected cells. The mucous produced by your body during an illness is basically dead viral cells that the T-Killers have taken behind the woodshed and soundly wholloped. It’s a sign that your body is functioning as it is supposed to. Another sign that your T-Killer Cells are hard at work is viral rash. The body rash that accompanies a bout of the measles, for instance, is actually a good thing. It means your immune system is working overtime to overthrow its nemesis, the virus.
Antibodies come in at the last stage of disease. They work to ensure that your body will be able to resist that particular illness in the future. We are familiar with antibodies because they are what the body is supposed to build after a vaccine is administered. The idea is that if we can build artificial immunity through antibodies, we never have to go through all the trouble of a virus working to get past the Interferon and T-Killer Cells in the first place(AKA get sick). It sounds like a logical concept; one that I struggled with in the past. However, the concept is fatally flawed, and it’s not obvious unless you have someone explaining the immune system to you in a way you can easily understand.
First, the concept of vaccine immunity relies on the vaccinee having an immune response to the vaccine. While many people do have a positive antibody response, and gain some sort of immunity for a few years, many others do not, and are just as susceptible to disease as they were before being vaccinated. Dr. Tetyana recounted that she had received two rounds of MMR vaccine as a child(obtaining her vaccination records as an adult), and still contracted measles. This was due to her later finding that she was what is referred to as a “low responder”. Several peer reviewed studies have shown that about 50% of the population, for a reason they scientists don’t yet know, do not respond well to vaccines, and their artificial immunity wanes anywhere from immediately(they may not have a response at all) to three years. Even the other 50% percent only retain their artificial immunity for 10 years if they’re lucky, which is why so many more “booster” shots have been added to the schedule, after scientists originally said vaccines would grant lifetime immunity. At this point, it seems that vaccines aren’t for everyone; yet we still give them universally, and in increased numbers.
Second, the concept of vaccine immunity relies on the premise that vaccines aren’t harmful, or are at the very least overwhelmingly safe to inject. However, since we know that hundreds of peer reviewed writings do give cause for concern regarding the ingredients of vaccines, and that we can see for ourselves that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of vaccine injuries have occurred, we know that vaccines aren’t always “safe”, if in fact they ever are. There is still no proof that vaccines don’t contribute to the current epidemics of autism, ADHD, severe allergies, auto-immune issues, chronic illness, etc, so there is no way to rule it out. We do know that tens of thousands of children have suffered severe reactions or died immediately following vaccinations, so it certainly seems that vaccines can be quite dangerous to some.
“Science” may not have yet discovered just how dangerous they can be and to whom, but that certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t cause for major concern. We need to remember just how much money is at stake(untold billions of dollars), and that much of the research available is conducted with apparent financial conflicts of interest. We also need to remember that there have been zero studies done on the current, increasing vaccine schedule for safety or long term effects. There have also been zero studies in the U.S that compare the health of the unvaccinated to that of the fully vaccinated, even though “anti-vaxxers” have been demanding a comprehensive study for decades.
Dr. Obukhanych makes clear just how important vitamins are to the immune system; particularly vitamins A, C, and D3. She also demonstrates how chiropractic adjustments actually activate the Adaptive Branch of your immune system, and are important to overall health. It becomes clear after listening to her that fever(below 105) is actually a vital part of the body’s ability to stimulate the immune system, by promoting biological action of Interferon, therefor keeping the problem from getting worse. As someone who firmly believes that life on earth came to be by Intelligent Design, and not by chance, learning about the intricate ways your body fights illness only re-affirms my beliefs. Biology has always fascinated me, but learning things I didn’t know before about the human immune system did nothing short of amaze me.
She closes her presentation illustrating some points that are foreign in today’s medical culture. First, she points out that according to scientific findings, childhood infections actually decrease the risk of some chronic/terminal illness in adulthood.
Measles, for example, lowers the risk of hay fever and asthma(Rosenlund et al. (2009) Pediatrics 123:771-778).
Varicella(Chicken Pox) lowers the risk of hay fever, asthma, and atopic dermatitis(Silverberg et al. (2012) Pediatrics 23: 50-58) and brain tumors(Wrensch et al. (1997) Am J Epidemiol 145:594-597).
Mumps lowers the risk of ovarian cancer(Cramer et al. (2010) Cancer Causes Control 21: 1193-1201).
And this is only the beginning of what scientists can discover about the benefits to certain viral infections that we vaccinate so readily for. That is, if they keep looking.
The last point she makes is that there has been quite a paradigm shift in our culture. What now reigns supreme is the “Public Health Model”, which attempts to eradicate viruses through mass vaccination(and a heavy marketing scheme). However, the “Personal Health Model”, which uses the immune system as an interface for peaceful coexistence with viruses(who don’t gain anything from killing us, since they depend on us to live), is actually a better and more effective model, although it is far from popular in our medically dictated culture.
Dr. Obukhanych gives us an insight into the world of her peers, who mostly raise eyebrows and look the other way when they see her. She is now a black sheep in the scientific community, who has forsaken her roots as a vaccine apologist and embraced the “anti-vax” mentality, owing her critical thinking skills and common-sensitis to opening her eyes to a bigger picture that many can’t seem to grasp. She is despised by some zealots, but even they cannot seem to find anything to combat. Her courage is admirable, and quite contagious. She is a valuable asset to AV’ers everywhere who need so desperately to be “validated” by those with medical and scientific degrees. Her work, along with the work of others like I mentioned earlier, continues to open more and more eyes on a daily basis. The AV movement is gaining steam, and at this rate will reach the ears of everyone in the country in only a few years. The trick is getting the general public, who have been put under a brilliant marketing spell, to snap out of it and consider our side. It will be an uphill battle all the way. There are many who have decided they will trust the medical industry with their lives at any cost, no matter the conflicting, well researched information readily available should they choose to look for themselves.
However, there is a real danger that currently looms in this country and in many others: Mandatory Vaccination. If certain zealots have their way, the exemptions that so many AV’ers cling to will be wiped out, and there will be hefty penalties for those who continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. The scariest part is how logical their arguments sound to those who don’t know any better. Using the unproven and even unscientific theory of herd immunity as their backbone, as well as doctored statistics and data cherry-picking, they are continuously successful in convincing the public, doctors, and media that vaccines are necessary to fight disease. We cannot allow this lie to continue to be accepted, and we cannot allow our state governments to have their way with mandatory vaccination.
I highly encourage anyone reading this blog to research the work of both Mary Tocco and Dr. Tetyana, and if you have a chance, they’re worth seeing in person. They are both informational powerhouses that boast a massive compilation of peer-reviewed literature questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines. One thing has become abundantly clear to me, as well as the millions of others who have researched the topic for themselves: Vaccines, at least based on the current schedule and ingredients, are certainly an immunological fail

Why Are We Still Vaccinating? 25 Questions From A Former Pro-Vaccine Advocate
by Brian Rogers - May 15, 2015 1149

I used to be pro vaccine. I know the feeling of thinking others were just plain crazy and wrong for not vaccinating their children and themselves. ‘Irresponsible!’ I said when pointing my finger. I’d use the same old arguments about polio and small pox and how vaccines saved us from all those horrible diseases and just swallowing and regurgitating the propaganda I was brought up with. It was only recently, in 2009 that I started questioning my long held beliefs and began digging in to the history, efficacy and safety of vaccines. I was appalled at what I found and the recklessness of those government health agencies entrusted with our health and our children’s safety, and angry with myself that I had put my family’s health at risk by blind faith in others when I was ultimately responsible for the medical decisions of my family.
When I began to put this article together I specifically chose not to include research from or links to websites that are considered untrustworthy by most pro-vaxxers, sites such as Natural News, Mercola, etc. even though I personally trust those sites and much more than I would WebMd and for good reason [a]. Instead I chose to employ basic logic and also incorporate independent and .gov scientific studies-mostly peer review, journals, news from mainstream sources (that pro-vaxxers love and totally trust) and articles that link to other .gov scientific studies, as well as government statistical resources. So, I started writing down questions and then looking for answers. I’ll admit, some of these questions have already been asked by others, but I just expanded upon it to form a helpful list.
I hope the following information helps you in your lifelong journey in search of health, vitality and truth in your own lives and your children’s lives.
- Why are newborn babies vaccinated on their first day of life against a disease that is primarily transmitted sexually and by needles in drug users?
(Pregnant women are already tested for STD’s prior to birth so there’s no reason to give it to an infant). Interesting to note, of the few vaccines that still are given to infants and STILL has thimerasol in it is Hep B and DipTet (and Flu shot recommended to pregnant women). So, the claim that it has been removed from all vaccines is a lie and misdirection. If they give it to all newborns then ALL the newborns are getting that thimerasol (mercury derivative). “It was removed from many child vaccines in 2002 but remains in some vaccines (e.g., hepatitis B virus and)" Page 21. - Why are babies given vaccines to produce antibodies when they do not produce antibodies until after the age of 3 to 6 months?

Herd immunity is a hilarious concept that assumes that 1) Vaccinated people are immune to the diseases for which they’ve been vaccinated, 2) Can not carry the diseases for which they are vaccinated/immune, 3) Because most of the people are vaccinated, other people around them can’t catch the disease. My favourite analogy for herd immunity is that if 95% of people in a building are wearing hard hats when the ceiling falls in, the 5% are protected.
