Merck Has Some Explaining To Do Over Its MMR Vaccine Claims#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

Merck, the pharmaceutical giant, is facing a slew of controversies over its Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine following numerous allegations of wrongdoing from different parties in the medical field, including two former Merck scientists-turned-whistleblowers. A third whistleblower, this one a scientist at the Centers for Disease Control, also promises to bring Merck grief following his confession of misconduct involving the same MMR vaccine.

The controversies will find Merck defending itself and its vaccine in at least two federal court cases after a U.S. District judge earlier this month threw out Merck’s attempts at dismissal. Merck now faces federal charges of fraud from the whistleblowers, a vaccine competitor and doctors in New Jersey and New York. Merck could also need to defend itself in Congress: The staff of representative Bill Posey (R-Fla) — a longstanding critic of the CDC interested in an alleged link between vaccines and autism — is now reviewing some 1,000 documents that the CDC whistleblower turned over to them.

The first court case, United States v. Merck & Co., stems from claims by two former Merck scientists that Merck “fraudulently misled the government and omitted, concealed, and adulterated material information regarding the efficacy of its mumps vaccine in violation of the FCA [False Claims Act].”

According to the whistleblowers’ court documents, Merck’s misconduct was far-ranging…

How the Pro-Vaccine Side Lost Me#iPad#android#retweet

When did it become okay to make fun of anyone? When as a society did we start to accept people making fun or belittling each other? It isn’t okay for children to bully each other at school nor is it okay for adults to bully, make fun of, or belittle each other through their Facebook account.

It does not matter if you love or hate vaccines. I was taught growing up if you do not have anything nice to say then you do not say anything at all. I am not anti-medicine, science, or vaccines. I am however very anti-bullying, making fun of people, and bashing others because they have a different opinion.

We are all parents trying to make the best decisions for our children. Parenting is hard enough the way it is without parents making fun of each other.

I know the vaccine issue is a hot topic right now, but I have seen so much belittling from the pro-vaccine camp lately that it has pushed me over the edge. I have been seeing people post the late show host video of him bashing anti-vaxers. I normally keep scrolling when someone posts something that I do not agree with, but it is people posting how funny and great they think the video is. I do not find it funny when someone ridicules or makes fun of people.

Most, but not all, of the parents who do not vaccinate fall into one of these categories…

Public Health Officials Know: Recently Vaccinated Individuals Spread Disease#Android#iPad#mustread

 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Physicians and public health officials know that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with the immunocompromised can be especially dangerous. For example, the Johns Hopkins Patient Guide warns the immunocompromised to “Avoid contact with children who are recently vaccinated,” and to “Tell friends and family who are sick, or have recently had a live vaccine (such as chicken pox, measles, rubella, intranasal influenza, polio or smallpox) not to visit.”1

A statement on the website of St. Jude’s Hospital warns parents not to allow people to visit children undergoing cancer treatment if they have received oral polio or smallpox vaccines within four weeks, have received the nasal flu vaccine within one week, or have rashes after receiving the chickenpox vaccine or MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine.2

“The public health community is blaming unvaccinated children for the outbreak of measles at Disneyland, but the illnesses could just as easily have occurred due to contact with a recently vaccinated individual,”…

An Open Message to My GOP Colleagues Nationwide Regarding the Measles Outbreak & Vaccine Policies#Android#iBelieve#mustread

February 16, 2015:  Face it – the 2016 election cycle has begun.  You already know how masterful democratic strategists are at setting you up to make statements that are counter to your philosophy and to force your hand on issues because there is a perceived emergency.  You are getting played right now on the measles outbreak and resulting knee jerk legislative responses.  Keep in mind the statement made famous by your Democratic colleague now mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel’s:  “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.  And what I mean by that, it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”  Have you forgotten how the Ebola issue this year was used to attack the GOP regarding sequestration?

I urge you before you join onto any legislative actions or make sweeping statements, to pause and consider if there is a political consequence to these issues.  Don’t trust that the information you and your staff are given is accurate.  You already are seeing this political manipulation playing out with…

…“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.”

And one final thought – there is no such thing as ‘settled science’.  Scientists once thought the world was flat. Like Dr. Wakefield, Dr. Joseph Lister was run out of London for promoting his theory, a theory on disinfecting procedures that would save countless lives.

The Non-Measles Outbreak That’s Not Making News#iPad#Family#iBelieve

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) terms the current measles outbreak in the U.S. as “large multi-state outbreak.” Discussion has permeated everywhere from traditional news media to commentary and pop culture websites.

At 141 cases and growing, the incidence of measles is widely considered serious enough to prompt discussions about strengthening laws and changing policies. Reaction has ranged from alarmed to near-hysterical.

Yet commensurate attention has not been paid to a much more widespread and mysterious infectious disease outbreak in the U.S.: one that also originated in California. In contrast to the measles outbreak, which so far has no associated deaths, this outbreak has claimed 14 lives: Most of them children…

Podcast #320: Vaccines, HPV, and $7 Million Bucks#iPad#Android#iBelieve

Did you know that every vaccine can be requested without thirmerasol, which is the mercury adjuvant. If the health of children is the priority, then why isn’t this information readily available and what about clearing the other harmful fillers out of vaccines.

Did you know a study was completed with 30,000. unvaccinated home school children and not one case of autism was found.  Find out more in the podcast below.

This is a must listen to podcast.  Good to play in the background while you are working or driving. Gain clarity and insight that you won’t find elsewhere in regards to, thirmerasol, the toxic mercury ingredient found in many vaccines.

Dr. Flannery, one of our, Featured Doctors, is also interviewed in this podcast.  Hear what he has to say about his experience with treating vaccine injuries.

Documentary – Trace Amounts – on history of thimerosal and the government government’s coverup on its relationship to autism

– Eric Gladen is the director of the recently released documentary Trace Amounts – a film 10 years in the making that deeply explores the many scientific and politicized medical controversies associated with the relationship between the mercury compound thimerosal found in vaccines and the epidemic rise in autism and other neurological disorders.  In 2004, after receiving a tetanus shot containing thimerosal, Eric’s life completely changed with the onset of a cascade of adverse physical, neurological and mental symptoms following the vaccine.  For the next decade, Eric researched the autism’s “causes” associated with vaccine ingredients and traveled the country to interview and film scientists and individuals questioning the safety of vaccine ingredients to produce this documentary.  Eric has an engineering degree from Oregon State University and his website is TraceAmounts.com

The science behind thimerosal and autism

– David Geier is the Vice-President of the non-profit Institute of Chronic Illnesses, Inc and the Vice-President of the non-profit Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs. He has extensive experience as a medical research scientist and has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed scientific/medical journal articles, book chapters, and other publications. Fifty of his studies examined the safety of such vaccines as hepatitis B, DPT, HPV, the MMR, Lymes, Hib, and polio.  An additional 25 studies investigated the safety of the mercury compound Thimerosal. In recognition of his scientific research, David has been invited to present at numerous professional conferences around the world, including giving presentations to the Institute of Medicine of the US National Academy of Sciences. His scientific research includes the study of vaccine safety, autism and other childhood neurodevelopmental disorders, toxicology, and molecular biological mechanisms.  David is a biology graduate of UMBC and also studied vaccine science, immunology and epidemiology at the NIH’s Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences. His website is MercuryFreeBaby.org

MEASLES VACCINE: THE LIES WE TELL EACH OTHER#Measles#Pregnancy#iBelieve

Despite hospital dangers, 99% of infants are born healthy. Most people are healthy when they get vaccines. Does it make sense to inject healthy people with anything that can kill them or possibly make them sick in order to maintain that health? Vaccines must have a 0% chance of any harmful effects whatsoever to the recipient.

Are today’s vaccines 100% safe, with 0% side effects? Keep reading.

LET’S JUST VACCINATE EVERYBODY!

At this time, vaccines are not mandatory in the US. Why not? Why not end all the hysterical media controversy and simply pass a law saying that everyone must get the full complement of vaccines on the CDC Schedule? Why don’t they do that?

OK, no more exemptions. As of today, every man, woman and child in the whole country must get all the 69 recommended vaccines…

For those that are about to hyperventilate at the thought of not everyone choosing to vaccinate with every vaccine on the “recommended” schedule, please keep in mind that there are another 200 new vaccines in the making.  There are many healthy families that choose not to vaccinate or to adjust the schedule as they see fit with doctors that educate and support in the process.  

As found in the above newsletter, the media is not specifying between the vaccine strain of measles and the naturally occurring strain.  If there is such a “panic”, then wouldn’t this be identified, as well as how the measles cases were each individually identified?

California is facing a pressing threat to have their long-time exemptions removed, save a medical exemption.  Many, many doctors are gun shy to give a medical exemption,  despite what a media “talking-head” might lead one to believe.  Exemptions are critical to keep in place to protect one’s family. 

One other thought.  I expect there would be many economic blows to California if these exemptions are revoked.  One of the first would be families opting to leave the state,  being there are a high percentage of private school families that invoke exemptions, especially in many of California’s ritzy areas.
