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…

GOP Candidates Speak the Truth About Vaccines#android#iPad#retweet

jv Leave a comment

Recently the GOP candidates for US President debated the issues and we were delighted to see that one of the most important issues facing our nation today, namely vaccine safety, was addressed by several candidates. Of course the candidates who expressed their concerns about vaccine safety were pilloried for doing so, but we’ve come to expect that from the pharma-funded media!

Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, and Dr. Rand Paul, weighed in on the vaccine controversy by alternately stating that there are too many vaccines too soon and that many are unnecessary. Trump shared he was aware of the perfectly healthy children of his staff regressing into autism after vaccines.[i] (See candidates’ quotes below.)

So what gives? Federal law recognizes that vaccines injure and kill but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the pharmaceutical industry all proclaim the safety and necessity of the entire vaccine schedule.[ii] And now the candidates, two of whom are doctors, acknowledge problems with the vaccine schedule, a view shared by millions of Americans. As vaccines are given in combinations but only studied individually it is no wonder so many are concerned, not to mention there is no research demonstrating the safety of this practice – rather it is assumed safe…

Truth, Transparency, and Freedom Rally in Atlanta October 24th!

jv Leave a comment

As you may know, attacks on the right to exempt our children and ourselves from vaccines are rife nationwide. The vaccine lobby sponsored over 100 bills in over 35 states across the US this past legislative session which  would remove or restrict the right to vaccine exemptions and the US department of Health and Human Services has introduced its draft National Adult Immunization Plan that will track vaccination uptake by adults and push vaccines on them.

While children under 18 already receive 69 doses of 16 vaccines and adults who live to 80 years are slated to receive 91 doses of vaccines, there are a shocking 271 vaccines in development or up for FDA approval that could be added to the list. Moreover, CDC continues to conceal vaccine dangers, vaccine failures, and the connection between vaccines and autism as well as a myriad of other chronic illnesses and disabilities…

Meet Christopher#android#iPad#retweet

jv Leave a comment

Written by Sandy Kanervisto; mother to Christopher Kanervisto.

…November 20th, Christopher was supposed to pick his girlfriend up at the Frontrunner station and when he didn’t show up and she couldn’t reach him she called one of his friends who called me. I called his roommate who found him. He had passed away in his sleep.

That was the day my world stopped.

We spoke with the medical examiner about his medical history several times over the next two months looking for a cause. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was the vaccine. She called us on February 10th to say she thought the cause of death would be “unknown” but they were going to do one more test on his heart. (I remember the date. Christopher’s birthday is February 11th).

We finally received the autopsy results in mid-February 2010. Cause of death:  Viral Myocarditis. The medical examiner said it was the “flu” he had in October. I reminded her he had not had the flu; it was the vaccine he had in October…

…He studied environmental law at Westminster College for one year but decided he didn’t want to be a lawyer.  He said there were too many rules; he wanted to use his creativity and pursue a degree in his first love, architecture.  So he transferred to Utah State University in August 2009. On October 15, 2009 he flew to Oregon with his dad to look at schools. He wanted to start with a civil engineering degree and then pursue a degree in architecture with an emphasis in sustainable architecture…

What a sad loss.  My condolences to this family. You can tell Christopher is just an amazing son.  I am so sorry.

Thank you for getting the word out and yes these type of reactions are becoming commonplace world-wide.

I am certain that your story will help another family from going through this same pain as you have.

I do believe you will be reunited with him one day.

Pediatrician Begs Whole Foods to Cancel Alt. Doc’s Book Signing#android#iPad#retweet

Written By: Dr. Jack Wolfson

When I made comments in January 2015 concerning the health of our children, one of the first to criticize me was a pediatrician. It is not a surprise that one whose entire career is spent injecting chemicals into children would oppose my views. After all, I stand for health, he practices in a world of sickness.

 

Here are some facts about kids in the average pediatric practice:

 

1) 1 in 68 have autism spectrum disorder

2) 1 in 6 have a developmental disability

3) 1 in 12 have asthma leading to 238 deaths in 2013

4) Hundreds die of cancer

5) 200,000 childhood diabetics

6) 700,000 ear tubes placed yearly

7) 25% are overweight or obese

8) 200,000 tonsillectomies

30 Scientific Studies Showing the Link between Vaccines and Autism#android#iPad#retweet

Evidence that vaccines can cause autism

It is an often repeated fallacy that there is no research that supports the supposition that vaccines can cause autism. This talking point is most often repeated by medical personnel and public health officials who have simply never been told that these studies exist, and in some cases by those who refuse to read the information when it is offered to them, so they continue to labor under the false assumption that vaccine autism causation is merely an “internet rumor” or a result of one paper that was published in 1998.

This untruth was again testified to during the HHS Committee hearings

In fact, the first research paper to offer evidence that vaccines may cause autism was THE first paper ever written on autism. In the 1930’s, Child Psychiatrist Leo Kanner discovered 11 children over the course of several years who displayed a novel set of neurological symptoms that had never been described in the medical literature, where children were withdrawn, uncommunicative and displayed similar odd behaviors. This disorder would become known as “autism.” In the paper, Dr. Kanner noted that onset of the disorder began following the administration of a small pox vaccine. This paper, was published in 1943, and evidence that vaccination causes an ever increasing rate of neurological and immunological regressions, including autism, has been mounting from that time until now.

Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact

Leo Kanner, Johns Hopkins University, 1943

“Since 1938, there have come to our attention a number of children whose condition differs so markedly and uniquely from anything reported so far, that each case merits – and, I hope, will eventually receive – at detailed consideration of its fascinating peculiarities.”

All of Kanners cases were born after, and began to appear following, the introduction of Eli Lilly’s new form of water soluble mercury in the late 1920s…

California Vaccine Refusers to Get “Court Order” or “CPS Visit” Under SB277#android#iPad#retweet

Health Impact News

California Senate Bill 277 (SB277) is setting a dangerous precedent by removing medical consent from California school children in 2016. In addition, the bill appears to be in violation of the Nuremberg Codes for informed medical consent. However, pressure is already being felt as school administrators and directors have chosen to ignore current law and force vaccine schedules on school children.

Months ago at the start of the 2015 school year, California students faced a rude awakening as they were met with scare tactics and demands to vaccinate that had no legal standing. Latino mothers launched a formal complaint after their children, belonging to the Los Angeles Unified School District, were taken out of classes the first day of school despite having a Personal Belief Exemption on file. Adding further to the confusion, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) had not updated their website in Spanish to reflect the new SB277 requirements and when they would take effect. Other reports have surfaced of California schools doing similar tactics.

As it stands today, if any school, preschool, or daycare facility does not accept a personal belief exemption for the 2015-2016 school year they are in violation of the law. Did the school nurses not get the letter from the CDPH advising them the effective date of SB277 was July 1st, 2016? Where is the leadership of Tom Torlakson, California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction and leader of the California Department of Education, advising school districts and counties what their limitations are?
