The peer review process is the pride of rigorous academic publishing. It is a critical component used to maintain the integrity of academic publications and a method used to ensure that information appearing in the scientific and medical literature is thoroughly vetted for accuracy.

How Does Peer Review Work?

The process begins after a researcher submits a paper to an academic journal. The editors of the journal then assign a group of independent reviewers to evaluate and critique the content of paper.1 Often, the researcher submitting the study will offer names of scholars in their field of study who are qualified to undertake the reviews. However, the final decision on the selection of reviewer typically lies in the hands of the journal editors.1

After the reviewers are appointed, they are required to investigate the research methodology used to conduct the study and provide feedback on any further improvements that can be made.1 In cases where the research methodology is flawed, reviewers have the ability to reject the paper. Typically, reviewers have no direct contact with the researchers and communicate their feedback via the editors of the journal who then decide to accept or reject the paper for publication.1

“Universal” Failure: Public Health’s Answer to Prevention#android#iPad#retweet

By Natalie Moore

  • What is herd immunity doing (or not doing) for you?
  • What are Americans doing almost as much as paying taxes?
  • Fever, aches, paralysis – Oh, my!

Dear reader,

Picture it.

Every staff member in the emergency room is covered head to toe in masks, gowns and gloves.

Patients spread about the ER bays — the worst cases rushed to isolation rooms.

Families, particularly those with children, told to leave for their own protection.

Medications and vaccines stockpiled in nurses stations so quickly pharmacy can’t fill the orders.

Instantly, emails fly out to all of the floors.

Administrators, VPs, infection control specialists, and department managers frantically making emergency census plans, hiring more part-time staff.

Frantically adding employees to on-call lists — preparing for the certain onslaught of sick patients and inevitable nursing staff absences.

What kind of outbreak could cause such madness?

Ebola?

Measles?

The plague?!

Nope.

As a mental health triage screener, this is the scene I observed each year since the first case of influenza rolled into the ER.

Managers instructed (bullied)…

Dear parents, you’re STILL being lied to (rebuttal to Jennifer Raff’s unsupported pro-vaccination claims)#android#iPad#retweet

…In 1994, a song written by a jam band called Blues Traveler came out and was played in clubs and on radios across the nation.  It made the top ten charts and remains one of the most memorable songs from the 1990’s.  That song was entitled Hook and the lyrics of the song assert that even if what a singer sings about is effectively meaningless, listeners will keep coming back to it so long as it’s articulated in a way that makes listeners feel “some inner truth of vast reflection” is being conveyed.  Most listeners didn’t even pay attention to the lyrics, but sang along anyway.  Well, folks, that’s exactly what’s been happening recently with an article on vaccinations that’s been making the rounds lately.  Welcome to information age, where a blog post can be shared all over cyberspace and receive over 10,000 “likes” on facebook and say very little that is actually useful.

Entitled “Dear parents, you are being lied to,” Jennifer Raff lists all the vaccination-related arguments she’s heard over the years from (presumably) those who choose not to vaccinate (she simply addresses a collective “they.”)  What makes this article so appealing is that she doesn’t bog us down with details.  She simply lists her points statement-rebuttal style and includes a few links to her pro-vaccination statements.  The problem with this is that when you take the time to dig down into the details, you soon realize she’s wrong.  By exaggerating the information cited in each argument, she makes what is (judging by the popularity of the article) an apparently compelling argument to those unwilling to dig deeper, but is essentially a straw man once the surface is scratched….

…JENNIFER RAFF SAYS OUTBREAKS OF MEASLES ARE ON THE RISE

“In light of recent outbreaks of measles and other vaccine preventable illnesses, and the refusal of anti-vaccination advocates to acknowledge the problem, I thought it was past time for this post.”

“Recent outbreaks” according to the linked article: 189 (out of roughly 300,000,000) people in 2013.

To put this in perspective, that’s 1 out of every 1,500,000 (1) in the United States.  That’s hardly an epidemic.

Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries#android#iPad#retweet

Health Impact News

The last report issued in 2013 by the Department of Justice (Vaccine Court), for compensation made by the Health and Human Services for people injured or killed by vaccines, was released in December 2013, covering the period of 8/16/2013 through 11/15/2013. The report is available as a Power Point presentation here.

There were 139 claims settled during this time period, with 70 of them being compensated. So, just over 50% of the claims filed for vaccine damages were compensated during this period.

Once again, the greatest percentage of damages compensated were for the influenza vaccine, and most of those were for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Yet these facts, tucked away in a file on the Department of Health and Human Services website, are never reported in the mainstream media. So we will report them here. You can also read the report yourself in the Power Point file here.

Of the 70 cases compensated, 42 of them were for the flu vaccine, or 60% of the cases settled where compensation was awarded for injury or death due to the vaccine. The combined total of the other 40% of cases settled included the following vaccines: Hep B, Tetanus, HPV, DTaP, MMR, IPV, PCV, Hib, Meningococcal, Varicella, TD…

…So injuries and deaths due to the flu vaccine were compensated more than the total compensation paid out to eleven other vaccines. Yet, if you look at the top selling vaccines in the market, the top flu vaccine is only #5, being outsold by Prevnar, Gardasil, PENTAct-HIB, and Infanrix/Pediarix. (Source.)

When you receive your “routine” annual flu shot, are you aware of these statistics?

And this is just for a 3 month period during 2013…

17 Month Old Baby Taken from Family for Disagreeing with Doctors#Family#Vaccines#iBelieve

It would be a kind, and thoughtful act for the D.C.F. department to return this very ill child to his family.  Especially at this time of year.  The pendulum has swung way too far out on the medical/child protective services kidnappings.

Health Impact News

Jessica Gilmore says, “I just want to love my grandson. That’s all I want.” However, if Connecticut DCF (their child protective services) has their way, little 17-month-old Jaxon Gilmore, who may not have much longer to live, will be adopted out to strangers, all because a grandmother allegedly questioned authority, seeking the best possible care for her sick grandchild. Here is the family’s story as reported to Health Impact News.

A Premature Baby with Health Complications

Jaxon was born very prematurely. His mother Alysia had not reached her third trimester when she developed serious complications in her pregnancy, including pneumonia, DIC, and HELLP syndrome. On June 16, 2013, her baby was born while she was in ICU, at just under 28 weeks. Baby Jaxon suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Infantile Spasm (a type of epilepsy), as well as other medical conditions. He has spent much of his young life in the hospital.

During the difficult journey of seeing her beloved grandson in the NICU for extended periods of time, Jessica diligently sought the best care and the best information she could find. Though she is not currently practicing, Grandma Jessica has a bachelor’s degree in nursing…

Vaccine-Injured Child Stolen by the State and Her Caring Mother Accused of Child Abuse#Vaccines#Family#Android

 On November 4, 2014, the website Medical Kidnap told the tragic story of four month-old Kathryn Hughes, who was stolen by Child Protective Services (CPS) after she suffered an adverse reaction to a vaccine.

Kathryn was a fragile baby, suffering from a wide range of complex medical needs. Born with Pierre Robin Sequence, a condition in which an infant has a smaller-than-normal lower jaw, a tongue that falls back in the throat and breathing difficulties, Kathryn certainly has had her fair share of problems.

Despite her daughter’s problems, Lorie, her mother, had always trusted the doctors and tried to do the best that she could for her daughter.

Baby is Vaccinated Without Her Mother’s Permission

Due to her own problems with vaccinations, Lorie requested when Kathryn was born that her daughter would only receive the vitamin K injection. Sadly, her requests were ignored and Kathryn was vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. A few weeks later, Kathryn began suffering seizures, a common side effect of the vaccine. [1]…

Vaccine-Injured Child Kidnapped from Family by Child Protective Services#iBelieve#android#vaccines

Vaccine injury and medical kidnapping stories are becoming commonplace. They are often connected. One mother never thought for a second that vaccinating her child would tear her family apart.

Rebekah McClain wants parents to learn what her family is almost unbelievably dealing with because they chose to vaccinate. No child deserves to suffer through this pain. This is her true story.

One Family’s Heartbreak

“I have a son named Kacer Lee Harris. He was born on December 25, 2013. He is my Christmas miracle. I have been praying for years to have a child on Christmas Day. It’s all I’ve ever wanted. When they told me my son was due on January 28, I knew he wouldn’t be born that day.

I got the flu and hepatitis B vaccines during pregnancy at 34 weeks, then had him at 35 weeks. My doctor told me I needed to get them. I remember because they were talking about if I had contracted either illness, for any reason, they didn’t want the baby to get it.

I knew something was off after the shots but no one would listen...
