DHHS Withholds Vaccine Injury Data and Rolls Out Vaccine Confidence Plan#android#iPad#retweet

by Theresa Wrangham, NVIC Executive Director

In recent years, information about compensated vaccine injury claims published in the VICP Data and Statistics Report has changed – but not for the better. This report prepared by DHHS officials continues to provide limited insight into vaccine injury and death awards, despite the fact that federal law states the public has a right to additional information,1 much of which is presented in bits and pieces during ACCV meetings.

Under the 1986 law, the public is entitled to the following information about VICP vaccine injury and death petitions:

  • the number of petitions filed with the VICP and their disposition, the dates of when vaccine-related injuries and deaths occurred;
  • the types and amounts of awards; and,
  • the length of time for the disposition of petitions;

While DHHS gives some of this information to the ACCV on a quarterly basis, the information is not as meaningful as it could be because of the way it is presented in ACCV meetings and on the VICP’s website. There is no ability for the public, or the ACCV for that matter, to connect the dots between vaccine injuries compensated by vaccine and condition over time, or to determine the reasons and any associated trends on why petitions are dismissed and claimants are denied compensation…

The Misunderstood Theory of Herd Immunity#android#iPad#retweet

Because of the recent outbreaks of measles in the United States and the re-energized public debate about vaccines and vaccination policy, we’re again starting to hear references to the theory of “herd immunity.” The theory is the foundation for the mass vaccination campaigns around the world. It currently stipulates that in order to provide immunity to a population against contagious diseases like measles you must vaccinate at least 95% of the population. Theoretically-speaking, with a vaccination rate of 95%, the diseases should be eradicated.

In an epidemiological review paper titled “Herd Immunity: History, Theory, Practice,” written by Paul E. M. Fine and published in 1993, the author notes that the first “published use” of the term herd immunity “appears to have been” in a paper titled “The spread of bacterial infection: the problem of herd immunity,” written by W. W. C. Topley and G. S. Wilson and published in 1923. From Fine’s paper, it seems that the theory of herd immunity was originally developed based on some observations with mice and some “simple mathematical formulations,” but the paper is unclear about whether the theory was ever validated through some of sort scientific peer review process…

The American History Of Compulsory Vaccination and its Ties to Eugenics#android#iPad#retweet

Health Impact News Editor Comments

Those currently proposing forced vaccination laws point to a U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1905: Jacobson v. Massachusetts. In fact, the Supreme Court has not heard a compulsory vaccine case since the 1920s.

In the article presented here, Attorney Emord looks at the history of compulsory vaccination, and shows how it was Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. who stripped away Fourteenth Amendment rights in regards to compulsory vaccination, the very same judge who ruled in favor of forced sterilization which was supported by the “science” of that day, eugenics. Eugenics is the same “science” used by the Nazis in Germany to endorse eliminating “feeble-minded” people in favor of a “master race.”

The National Socialist Roots Of Compulsory Vaccination

By Attorney Jonathan Emord
NewsWithViews.com

Legislators in thirteen states have introduced bills that would severely constrict or eliminate exemptions from compulsory vaccination, with the intended aim of coercing, cajoling, or forcing those who have not been vaccinated to become so. Those states are California (SB 277); Illinois (SB 1410)…

The Deadly Impossibility Of Herd Immunity Through Vaccination, by Dr. Russell Blaylock#android#iPad#retweet

 by Dr. Russell Blaylock

Those who are observant have noticed a dangerous trend in the United States, as well as worldwide, and that is the resorting of various governments at different levels to mandating forced vaccination upon the public at large. My State of Mississippi has one of the most-restrictive vaccine-exemption laws in the United States, where exemptions are allowed only upon medical recommendation. Ironically, this is only on paper, as many have had as many as three physicians, some experts in neurological damage caused by vaccines, provide written calls for exemption, only to be turned down by the State’s public-health officer.

Worse are the States, such as Massachusetts, New Jersey and Maryland, where forced vaccinations have either been mandated by the courts, the state legislature, or have such legislation pending. All of such policies strongly resemble those policies found in National Socialist empires, Stalinist countries, or Communist China…

The Immune System#android#iPad#retweet

…One of the fascinating aspects of the immune system is that it has a memory and the capacity to learn. Long ago physicians realized that people who had recovered from the plague would never get it again–they had acquired immunity. In order to have room for all the cells needed to match millions of possible enemies, the immune system stores just a few of each kind. When an antigen appears, those few matching cells multiply into a full-scale army. After their job is done, they fade away except that the system forever retains a “blue-print” for rapid reactivation should it ever be needed…

…The amount or concentration of a particular antibody that is in solution can be measured in a laboratory. This is called a “Titer Test”. Common sense would indicate that if a Titer Test revealed that antibodies for a particular disease already exist at appropriate levels–booster shots are not required!…

There Is No Vaccine War, Only Smart Parents Making Smart Decisions: An Open Letter to PBS#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

by Jennifer Margulis

After PBS’s Frontline aired five years ago, I wrote the producers a letter. Their decision to re-air their one-sided and irresponsible documentary tonight has prompted me to republish the letter in a slightly edited form.

When the show first aired live, the voice-over falsely identified me as someone who did not vaccinate my children, despite the fact that I repeated several times to the producer during the many hours that she was filming me that I was (and still am) pro-vaccine. My lawyer threatened PBS with a lawsuit. The voice-over was corrected for accuracy. But the damage was done: hate mail and death threats came in from around the country…

Despite the media’s love of a “war,” you actually can be pro-vaccine and against the current schedule.

The bottom line: We all care about the same thing: keeping every child in America safe and healthy. If our current vaccine schedule were actually doing that, we wouldn’t be having this conversation…

Well-child visits linked to more than 700,000 subsequent flu-like illnesses#android#iPad#retweet

New research shows that well-child doctor appointments for annual exams and vaccinations are associated with an increased risk of flu-like illnesses in children and family members within two weeks of the visit. This risk translates to more than 700,000 potentially avoidable illnesses each year, costing more than $490 million annually.

 

Researchers from the University of Iowa used data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) Medical Expenditure Panel Survey to examine the healthcare trends of 84,595 families collected from 1996-2008. Included in the analysis were demographic, office-based, emergency room, and outpatient cases records. After controlling for factors, such as the presence of other children, insurance, and demographics, the authors found that well-child visits for children younger than six years old increased the probability of a flu-like illness in these children or their families during the subsequent two weeks by 3.2 percentage points…
