Immunisation

To rational human beings, the ultimate test of both the safety and efficacy of vaccinations would be: prolonged use over a period of time, with vigilant reporting of side effects.  But for some extraordinary reason, doctors are not routinely required to report either deaths following vaccination, complications following vaccination, or even, if and when people contract the illness against which they have been vaccinated.  And this has always been the way. ³⁶⁹

We are told that if we give a healthy human a tiny dose of something we are trying to avoid, then the body will make antibodies against it, and thus win out when the actual disease arrives in all its strength. This is of course one of the principles of homeopathy as well. However, there is a big difference between the extremely dilute substances used in homeopathy, and the larger amounts of known biotoxins used in vaccinations.³⁶⁹

The following pieces of information will provide you with some surprising statistics and studies regarding failures of vaccines. It is important that parent’s and individuals are fully educated on the potential health risks before undergoing immunisation.

 The Hidden Dangers of Infant Vaccination

•  The most serious charge against the process of vaccination is that it is a risky business injecting foreign biological products into infants barely born and just getting tricky immune system. The U.S Taskforce for Safer Childhood Vaccines went so far as to report that, “Safety is only relative and cannot be absolutely guaranteed.”³⁷¹
• When Japan stopped injecting infants with the DPT (Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus vaccine) and moved up the age of vaccination to two years, cot deaths (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS) virtually disappeared in Japan. There was also a decline in spinal meningitis. Japan went on to have the lowest infant mortality rate in the world.³⁶⁹
• Sweden went on to have the second lowest infant mortality rate when the use of the pertussis vaccination was dropped in 1979. (Italy also does not use the DPT).³⁶⁹
• When the Australian government made DPT vaccinations a voluntary choice, half the country opted not to vaccinate. The incidence of SIDS then dropped by 50 percent. The UK also had a reduced number of SIDS when the vaccination became voluntary.³⁶⁹
• In the United States there are nearly 10,000 SIDS annually, a tremendous increase in the last two decades, an increase which may reflect increased vaccinations of infants.³⁷²
• In New Zealand, the DTPH3 (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-haemophilus influenza referred to as “The Quad”) is given at 6 weeks after birth, and again at 12 weeks. That NZ cot deaths tend to cluster around the 8 to 16 week mark is proof of nothing; the timing is however suggestive.³⁶⁹
• As far back as 1974 Dr Robert Riesinger expressed the belief that one of the reasons breast-fed babies fare better is that there is far less E. Coli in the gut and that it is this bacteria which in combination with the DPT vaccine causes endotoxic shock, heart and breathing failures. ³⁷⁴
• In 1982 Dr William Torch of the Nevada School of Medicine reported that 2/3 of 103 children who died of SIDS had been immunised with DPT vaccine up to three weeks before their deaths, most dying within a day of the vaccination.³⁷⁶
• In 1983 an American study of 145 SIDS victims, 53 of which had received DPT immunisations in close proximity to their deaths. The researchers concluded that these findings “further substantiate a possible association between DPT shots and SIDS” ³⁷⁷
• In 1994 the US institute of  Medicine, looking at the up to 10,000 cases of SIDS per year in that country, admitted that the evidence is consistent for a casual relation between DPT vaccine and acute encephalopathy, encephalitis or encephalomyelitis and ‘unusual shock-like state.’ This was then reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.³⁷⁹
• Dr Archie Kalokerinos MBBS, Ph.D, of Australia noted that after vaccinations were carried out in the Aboriginal community, up to half of the children went into endotoxic shock and died. He was able to rescue a few near-deaths by administering large does of vitamin C (a detoxifier) into the muscle or veins. He realised that these infants were so malnourished that they could not cope with the impact of the vaccines. So before the procedure he built them up with vitamins, especially Vitamin C, in doses proportionate to their age, and most of them thereafter survived the vaccinations.³⁸⁰
• The US Department of Health and Human Services early in 1997 reported that an estimate of 60,000 children per year receiving the DPT vaccine experience convulsions, shock, colic etc.³⁸²
• In 1988, a case brought before the High Court in London revealed 2,081 neurological (nervous system) problems in 80% of those inoculated with whooping cough vaccine,³⁸³ while more than 90 cases of autism, or inability to talk, in the UK are considered due to the after effects of vaccination.
• In USA, since 1988 $US724.4 million has been awarded to the families of children injured or killed by vaccinations.³⁸⁹

 The New Zealand Listener reported another mother’s experience with her fifteen month old healthy child: “About an hour after he’d had the vaccine, he became sleepy, and wasn’t able to be woken for 19 hours. He slept for 19 hours solid. The next morning he woke with a high-pitched scream, back arched, body rigid, and screamed for five and a half hours.” This formerly healthy child then went on to develop autistic tendencies, allergies, swollen joints, seizures and bizarre behaviour problems that took years to bring under control. His mother sums it up, ³⁸⁵ “I believed in vaccinations and that’s why we did it… I didn’t want a child brain-damaged or dead, which is what they told us if you don’t vaccinate – and unfortunately I got a child brain-damaged anyway” .³⁶⁹

 The Alarming Side-Effects of Vaccination on Children and Adults

• In the UK after a massive vaccination campaign in 1994, it was reported that “26% of cases experienced swollen arthritis or painful joints after the first dose and that children’s lives were thereafter disrupted by swollen joints, severe allergic reactions, swollen glands, violent headaches, inflammation of the brain, brain damage, autism, coma, epilepsy, M.E (known in the US as CFS or Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome), speech and behaviour problems, inflammatory bowel disease, difficulties with sight and hearing – all of which may contribute to evidence that challenges the very foundation of immunisation policy: the notion that the benefits to millions always massively outweigh the risk to the very few”³⁸⁶
• In 1994 the Journal of American Medical Association published the result of a survey which found that English children receiving the pertussis vaccine were nearly six times more likely to develop asthma in contrast with children who had not received the vaccine.³⁹⁰ 
• A study conducted at the Royal Free Hospital reported in the English Lancet in 1995, found that people who had received the measles vaccination were three times more likely to develop Crohn’s disease, and more than twice as likely to develop ulcerative colitis (both are chronic gut diseases) than people who did not receive this vaccine. Autism was another aftermath noted ³⁹³ 
• Hepatitis B vaccines given since 1988 are linked to a 60% increase in diabetes in those vaccinated in New Zealand. ³⁹⁴ 
• Immunisations have also been linked to Alopecia (complete baldness in either sex, but predominantly in women), which jumped from 11.2 cases per 100,000 to 18.2 cases per 100,000 after the vaccination programs.³⁹⁵ 
• Dr Russell Jaffe, MD, Ph.D – has declared that overall the incidence of autoimmune disease has increased more than ten fold in the past two generations.³⁹⁶ One explanation for autoimmune disease as a possible aftermath of vaccination is that “the body, unused to doing its own detection work, can no longer distinguish between foreign invaders and ordinary tissue and begins to destroy itself”³⁶⁹ Dr Buttram would add,  “Perhaps most ominous of all is the rise in childhood behavioural disorders, hyperactivity, and learning dysfunctions, with approximately one out of five children now being classified as learning-disabled. Some experts believe that such mental and emotional impairments are, in many instances, a direct result of immunological derangements.” ³⁹⁹ 
• Figures from England reveal that between 1860 and 1948 measles declined 94.1%; scarlet fever 99.7%; and whooping cough declined 91%, all without vaccines. Diphtheria’s most obvious decline occurred between 1945 and 1949 in four million unvaccinated children.³⁶⁹ 
• In 1994, the US Centre for Disease Control reported that in an area of 100% vaccinated, there had been a measles outbreak. It’s conclusion, “The apparent paradox is that as measles immunisation rates rise to high levels in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunised persons”⁴⁰⁴
• No vaccine has ever been used for scarlet fever or the bubonic plague, and yet they have both almost disappeared off the face of the earth.⁴⁰⁶
• Dr William F Koch, M.D.,Ph.D. declared that  “the injection of any serum, vaccination, or even penicillin has shown a very marked increase in the incidence of polio, at least 400%. In Los Angeles, in 1949, after the largest smallpox vaccination campaign, an epidemic of polio broke out within two weeks. 26 deaths and 1,900 cases were reported. In 1933 in St Louis, Missouri, after a typhoid vaccination campaign, there was an outbreak of encephalitis (a form of polio) about 10 days after vaccinations, with over 100 deaths”.⁴¹²
• There have been 1,100 cases of Guillain-Barre paralysis (an autoimmune infection affecting the peripheral nervous system), and 58 deaths following swine flu vaccines. ⁴²⁵

 “There can be few graver opportunities for man-made disaster than the mass immunization campaigns that are now routine in many countries. Should the vaccine preparations become contaminated with an undetected agent… such as a cancer-causing virus, a whole generation of vaccinated people could be put in jeopardy. This of course is no science fiction writer’s horror story – it has already happened once; millions of people have been injected with a monkey virus…which was found to be contaminating polio vaccines. The virus causes cancer in hamsters; no one yet knows what it may do to humans.”⁴¹⁴
