Slide 2: 

Experts said DDT was harmless Experts said asbestos was safe.

Slide 3: 

Experts said thalidomide was safe. Experts said mercury amalgam fillings were safe.

Slide 4: 

It is now accepted that these claims are false.

Slide 5: 

Experts say childhood vaccinations are safe. Will this be the next claim to fall...

Robert Mendelsohn, MD : 

Robert Mendelsohn, MD “There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease…I urge you to reject all inoculations for your child.“ Mendelsohn R. How to raise a healthy child...in spite of your doctor. Chicago: Contemporary Books. 1984.

Jane M. Orient, MD : 

Jane M. Orient, MD The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons calls for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines. “Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren’t necessary or that have very limited benefits.” -Jane M. Orient, MD, AAPS Executive Director. Nov. 2, 2000. www.aapsonline.org

Question: Do the “benefits” of vaccination outweigh the risks? : 

Question: Do the “benefits” of vaccination outweigh the risks?

No one knows… : 

No one knows… No one knows what the chances are that your child may be hurt or killed by a vaccine. Why? We do not know that because MDs and health officials rarely report vaccine injuries.

Doctors rarely report damage : 

Doctors rarely report damage “Doctors underreport adverse vaccine reactions by 90%.” US Food and Drug Administration Investigative Report on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. NVIC.

Question: What’s causing these adverse reactions? : 

Question: What’s causing these adverse reactions? Viral or bacterial component - These are whole-cell proteins or just the broken-cell protein envelopes, and are called antigens Adjuvants - Chemical substances which are supposed to enhance the immune response to the vaccine Chemical Preservatives - supposed to halt any further chemical reactions and putrefaction (decomposition or multiplication) of the live or attenuated (or killed) biological constituent ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ADJUVANTS IN VACCINES by Viera Scheibner, Ph.D. Nexus. Dec 2000 (Vol 8, No1) & Feb 2001 (Vol 8, Number 2)

Slide 12: 

Aluminum: neurotoxin that crosses the brain/blood barrier. Formaldehyde: neurotoxin and carcinogen. There is no safe level of formaldehyde that can be ingested. Thimerosal: mercury, made from a combination of Ethylene Glycol (AKA antifreeze!!!) and ethanol, thiosalicylic acid, sodium hydroxide and ethyl mercuric chloride. These chemicals are neurotoxic, dangerous, fatal and easily cause brain and liver damages. Human and animal cells

Long term effects? : 

Long term effects? Recent studies have shown that immune adjuvants can cause powerful stimulation of the immune system for as long as two years, which means the brain's immune system also remains overactive.  Over activity of the brain's immune cells (microglia) can lead to a gradual loss of brain connections (synapses and dendrites) and can even cause the brain to be miswired (abnormal pathways development). Once again, this is not theory—it is neuroscience fact. Aluminum, mercury and protein additives easily enter the brain, are stored for decades and can powerfully activate the brain's microglia, and do so for prolonged periods Vaccine Safety Manual – Neil Z. Miller ( extended bibliography can be found at: http://www.whale.to/vaccines/ingredients.html ) CAN YOU SEE THE LINK? Over activity of microglia leads to loss of brain connections Aluminum & mercury can be stored for decades and activate microglia!

Makes you wonder… : 

Makes you wonder… Possible link to Autism? ALS? Parkinsons? Alzheimers?

Question: Who’s benefiting from vaccinations? : 

Question: Who’s benefiting from vaccinations?

Slide 16: 

"Up to 60 percent MORE shots have been given to children than should have been. Some youngsters appear to have received THIRTY jabs — when they should have had just 13. Amazingly some children are shown as having nine jabs in a single DAY. Doctors are paid whopping bonuses of more than £10,000 if they hit high vaccination targets." -Jane Symons, The Sun(UK), November 8, 2006, National “Jab” Scandal Exposed http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article70331.ece

Gardasil : 

Gardasil's sales in 2006 were $235 million." – John Carreyrou, Wall Street Journal, Feb. 7 Out of the 385 individual adverse event reports made to VAERS, two-thirds required additional medical care and about one-third of all reports were for children 16-years-old and under 25 percent of those children simultaneously received one or more of the 18 vaccines that Merck did not study in combination with GARDASIL. Medical News Today: February 22, 2009 http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/63586.php Gardasil

Question: Who’s being hurt? : 

Question: Who’s being hurt?

How many children are hurt? : 

How many children are hurt? “Between 15 and 20% of American school children are considered learning disabled with minimal brain dysfunction directly caused by vaccine damage.”Coulter HL. Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain. Washington, DC: Center for Empirical Medicine. 1990. And that was 19 YEARS AGO! Were more vaccines administered in 1990 or 2009? What do you think the numbers would show today?

Danger to unborn children? : 

Danger to unborn children? When a girl is vaccinated she does not develop natural immunity and years later, when she gets pregnant she is not able to give her unborn child as much protection through the placenta. So her newborn may be born vulnerable to measles, whooping cough and other diseases at birth. Among newborns these diseases can be fatal. Osaki M, Tsutsumi H, Takeuchi R, Kuniya Y, Chiba S . Reduced passive measles immunity in infants of mothers who have not been exposed to measles outbreaks. Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Disease . 1999;31(1):17-19

And again… : 

And again… Vaccines interfere with transplacental immunity. Girls who are vaccinated have less protection to pass on to their unborn child . (a) More measles now occurs in children less than 1 and adults 25+(b) Papania M, Baughman AL, Lee S, et al Increased susceptibility to measles in infants in the United States . Pediatrics. 1999 :104(5) MMWR 1991 ;40 :369-372 in JAMA;1991 ;265(24)

Slide 23: 

Until 1975 the Japanese followed the American schedule of giving vaccines at 2, 4, 6 months, etc After 37 babies died in one prefecture in Japan the law was changed making it illegal to vaccinate under the age of two. Crib death and infantile seizures virtually disappeared . Japan went from 17th in infant mortality to Number 1 -the best infant mortality in the world. However now they had a new crop of neurologically damaged 2-year-olds. Cherry et al. Pediatrics Supplement. 1988;973

Slide 25: 

Immunized children: 23.1% had asthma, 30% had other allergic illnesses. Non-immunized children: 0% had asthma or other allergic illness.

Pertussis : 

Pertussis Since vaccination there has been more pertussis. With mandatory vaccination and 5 doses of DPT vaccine, pertussis occurs at a far higher rate now than before the introduction of the vaccine. “There is substantial underreporting of pertussis, including hospitalizations ." Sutter RW and Cochi SL. Pertussis hospitalizations and mortality in the United States, 1985-1988 . JAMA. 1992;267(3) :386-390 .

Hepatitis B : 

Hepatitis B “The risk of a serious vaccine reaction may be 100 times greater than the risk of getting hepatitis B without the vaccine.”   Jane Orient, MD, Executive Director Association of American Association of Physicians and Surgeons . Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, and Human Resources of the Committee on Government Reform US House of Representatives . June 14, 1999.

Measles : 

Measles Measles vaccination in childhood was related to the following diseases in adult life : autoimmune diseases skin diseases degenerative diseases of bone cartilage and certain tumors .   Renne T. Measles virus infection without rash leads to disease in adult life. The British Lancet. 5 January 1985 .

Slide 29: 

"Nearly 90% of the total decline in mortality (scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, and measles) between 1860 and 1965 occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization."   Illich,1,Medical Nemesis.Chapter 1. The Epidemics of Modern Medicine, NY : Bantam Books 1976

Slide 30: 

Diphtheria Vaccine introduced 1920 Whooping Cough Vaccine Widespread Use Late 1940’s Measles vaccine introduced 1963 All of these diseases had steadily declined by the time their vaccinations were introduced

What about polio? : 

What about polio? In the 1950s government scientists learned that the polio vaccine was contaminated with monkey virus SV40, a potent carcinogen . The public was not notified . The vaccine continued to be sold. By 1960 more than 98 million US children and adults received the contaminated vaccine. 30% of those contained a live virus. Michael E. Horwin, M.A., J.D. Simian Virus 40 (SV40): A Cancer Causing Monkey Virus from FDA-Approved Vaccines. Albany Law Journal of Science & Technology, Volume 13, Number 3, 2003. 62 studies from 30 worldwide laboratories link the polio vaccine to brain tumors, bone cancers, lung lining cancers and leukemia . The rates of these cancers have gone up dramatically in the last 30 years . American Association for Cancer Research, San Francisco, CA. April 10, 2002 .

Slide 32: 

The Polio Death Rate was decreasing on its own before the Vaccine was Introduced

Slide 33: 

Question: If I don’t get vaccinated will I be sick the rest of my life?

Slide 34: 

"Contracting and overcoming childhood diseases are part of a developmental process that actually helps develop a healthy, robust, adult immune system able to meet the challenges that inevitable encounters with viruses and bacteria will present later on ." Coulter HL . Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain. Washington, DC : Center for Empirical Medicine.1990.

Slide 35: 

"There is no need to protect children from contracting infectious diseases of childhood . These diseases are there to prime and mature their immune system. . .chronic ill-health, colds, otitis media, and upper and lower respiratory tract diseases are well-documented in vaccinated children. "A well-nourished child will go through rubella, whooping cough, chicken pox and the rest with flying colors ." Scheibner V. Immunization:The Medical Assault on the Immune System. Blackheath, Australia : Author, 1993; xxii.

Slide 37: 

“Instead of hiding our heads in the sand to protect the status quo, it is time to admit that [there are] no adequate studies to determine the long-term effects of vaccines on our children and future generations.” US Rep. Dan Burton April 24, 2000 LA Times.

Is it worth the Risk? : 

Is it worth the Risk? With no long term studies on the effects of vaccinations are you willing to put your family and yourself at risk? “Have you more faith in a knife or a spoonful of medicine than in the Innate power that animates the internal living world?” - Dr. BJ Palmer The Bigness of the Fellow Within; Ch11,71.

Slide 46: 

"The only safe vaccine is one that is never used." Dr. James R. Shannon, former director of the National Institute of Health
