Special Note from the Author
Glad you found your way to Cry of the Heart, which was a labor of both my mind and soul that started days after my son Nathan Thomas was born at the end of May in 2003. This is an extremely important book if you are about to have, or have young children. It is also important if you are considering taking any vaccine yourself. Because this information is crucial, meaning absolutely necessary in making decisions to protect the life of the ones we love the most in this world I decided to release it as a shareware e-book. Meaning if you find it useful I am requesting a donation or energy exchange of ten dollars. Such donations and energy exchanges are crucial to my family, my work and me. You can simply mail a ten dollar bill to my address in Brazil that is provided below, just please enclose it well so it can not be seen through the paper.
If you had not noticed in visiting the World Psychology site, I do provide consultations through virtual communication with the first two email exchanges carrying no fee. I do very intense heart centered therapy on the Internet as well as work with medical issues through both education and consultation. Because I am an American living in Brazil I can offer rates at roughly half the international average. Also if you would like to go even deeper into this subject I can work with you through consultation and through additional materials that are not present in this shareware addition.
I recommend to everyone to go to http://WorldPsychology.net and subscribe to The Medical News. There you will be getting updates from me weekly on vaccine and other medical issues.
Thank you for tolerating a bit of my commercial self here. It is the last you will ever see of this part of me. What you are about to read I was capable of writing because I have been completely free to listen to and write the absolute truth without any obligation to any group or industry. I have lived a free life and have put the search of truth in front of personal security and will continue to do that for the rest of my life. I cried many tears writing Cry of the Heart and you will also for the personal stories of many parents are included and they are just as important as the professional medical opinions and all the scientific studies and test that main stream health organizations obsess with. If you receive this information before anyone you know and love has been hurt by vaccines consider yourself enormously fortunate and lucky.
Best Regards,

“Something in the back of my mind had always bothered me about immunizations, and not the fact that I hate to see my kids cry, because I know the pain of an injection is momentary and I supposed that the benefits would be worth the momentary pain.”
The National Vaccine Information Center has been studying reports of vaccine injuries for twenty years and in the last decade they have seen more and more parents reporting that they have taken in their perfectly normal, healthy, high-functioning children to be vaccinated, and then within hours, days or weeks, these children exhibit illness, high fevers, convulsions, and brain inflammation. It seems like an increasing percentage of children start to regress physically, mentally and emotionally after receiving their shots and when the doctors tell parents that it’s all a coincidence, that the vaccines had nothing to do with what happened to their children, the parents are beginning to seriously doubt them.
In two cases in the past four years, vaccines endorsed by the CDC (Center for Disease Control in Atlanta) were pulled off the market after a number of infants and adults appear to have suffered devastating side effects including gruesome death.
It is hard for many parents to walk into the doctor’s office and watch their child, who is perfectly well, get a vaccine. As recently as 15 years ago children received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and no more than two shots in a single visit. Now children could receive as many as 20 shots by the time they are 2 years old and as many as five shots in a single visit. For these reasons, parents wonder whether children can handle so many shots at the same time and whether vaccines can overwhelm the immune system. These questions are critical because a strong case is being made today against vaccines and the many dangerous chemicals used in them. More and more clinicians and researchers are beginning to see vaccination programs as being without worth and are now standing up against the goliath of medical paradigms who pretend that vaccines are as safe as mothers milk.
Members of the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee get money from vaccine manufacturers. Relationships have included: sharing a vaccine patent; owning stock in a vaccine company; payments for research; getting money to monitor manufacturer vaccine tests; and funding academic departments.
We have been assured of the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for over fifty years yet these seemingly rock-solid assumptions are directly contradicted by government statistics, medical studies, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports, and reputable research of scientists from around the world. In September of 2002, for example, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) report to Congress said that the rate of severity of adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine were considerably greater than advertised. In a random survey of 1,253 guard and reserve pilots and aircrew, the GAO found 84 percent suffered minor reactions and at least 24 percent major multiple “systemic” reactions, the latter more than 100 times higher than the estimate by the manufacturer. It has become more and more apparent that the CDC has a very hard time investigating in an unbiased way what is happening to our children because of ideological and financial conflicts of interest. Thus we have to understand that government approval offers no guarantee of safety at all.
There is insufficient evidence to support routine vaccination of healthy persons of any age. Paul Frame, M.D. (Journal of Family Practice)
The problem of infant vaccination is one of the great social, economic and spiritual problems of our day. Taught for more than a century as an infallible remedy in medical schools, both public and governments have accepted it as if it were a well-established scientific principle, instead of being, in the words of Dr. Creighton, historian of epidemic diseases, “a grotesque superstition.” Guylaine Lanctot, M.D. stated that sometime in the future, “we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines.” Richard Moskowitz M.D. said, “Vaccines have become sacraments of our faith in biotechnology in the sense that 1) their efficacy and safety are widely seen as self-evident and needing no further proof; 2) they are given automatically to everyone, by force if necessary, but always in the name of the public good; and 3) they ritually initiate our loyal participation in the medical enterprise as a whole. They celebrate our right and power as a civilization to manipulate biological processes for profit, without undue concern for or even any explicit concept of the total health of the populations about to be subjected to them.” Essentially it is just assumed that every civilized person on the planet gives their children vaccinations and the growing swell of informed people who choose not to do that for some very good reasons are scorned and ignored.
The intense psychological pressure and fear that parents feel about vaccinating their children is no accident, but the result of well-planned, well-funded marketing campaigns.
It was not that many years ago that four out of five doctors were known to have recommended a certain brand of cigarettes. Fifty years ago doctors puffed away and found nothing wrong with their patients doing the same. Of course, a few activists warned against the dangers of cigarette smoking, but the doctors had their say, dismissing such claims because they never learned in medical school that cigarette smoking was dangerous. There was no opposite viewpoint for physicians to consider, so their minds were made up by clever marketing. Today it is the same with the vaccine story; the big difference is that the harm is being done to children, to the little ones, to the most vulnerable beings who have absolutely no chance to defend themselves.
In this book you will find scientist after scientist and researcher after researcher giving you reasons to wake up to a nightmare happening in pediatrician offices around the world.
The fact is that vaccination propaganda has been scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by thousands of media clips over the past few decades. Injected, so to speak, directly into the collective unconscious of humanity. Many basic thoughts and attitudes are continually being shaped and molded deliberately by people and organizations dedicated to this task. There are many issues of import that are purposely fixed in the public consciousness as conventional wisdom. People generally think the same about a broad range of issues because companies have spent hundreds of millions in media marketing over many years to make sure that this is so. Very few people are paying attention to the process of conditioning that they are being subjected to in a Matrix type of manipulation, not by super computers but by mega-corporations and the people who run them. Yet some break through the clouds of ignorance and blindness and there are many medical doctors who will categorically state:
There is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent any diseases. To the contrary, there is a great wealth of evidence that they cause serious side effects. Viera Scheibner Ph.D
For instance it is believed that asthma, which is an autoimmune disorder, an allergic condition that tops the list of chronic respiratory diseases found in children in Western societies today, is at least partially triggered by vaccinations. A 1997 study published in Science reported “the prevalence of asthma in westernized societies has risen steadily this century, doubling in the last 20 years. Asthma now affects one child in seven in Great Britain, and in the United States it causes one-third of pediatric emergency room visits.” In 1995, the CDC reported that, between 1982 and 1992, asthma increased 52 per cent for persons between the ages of five and 34 years old, and deaths from asthma increased 42 per cent. In a 1997 issue of Epidemiology, New Zealand researchers hypothesized that “it is theoretically possible that immunization may contribute to the development of allergic disease.” Of 1,265 New Zealanders born in 1977, 23 received no childhood vaccinations, and none suffered childhood asthma. Among the 1,242 who got polio and DPT shots, 23 per cent later had episodes of asthma, 23 per cent had asthma consultations, and 30 per cent had consultations for other allergic illness. Their conclusion was, “The findings presented here are consistent with the hypothesis that some component of infant immunization may increase the risk of developing asthma in childhood.” If this is true expect to hear your doctor or local medical board insisting that is better to have asthma for a lifetime than for your child to get sick from a childhood infectious disease.
The Austin American Statesman, like most of the mass media in the first world, stands up for the mass enforced vaccination of children, but the cracks are beginning to show. With immoral pungency they still communicate to the public, “the overall good of the required immunization of children is unquestioned.” Thus the Austin American is pressing for new legislation in Texas “requiring” children are immunized before enrolling in school. “Certainly, there are children who suffer side effects from immunization, but rarely are they serious. Serious side effects from immunization range from one in thousands to one in millions, according to the CDC. Immunization has saved thousands of lives, and there is ‘little evidence’ that vaccination contributes to serious illness or death.” The cracks are represented by the admission that there is ‘some’ evidence but the net effect of such communications from reputable newspapers, including the New York Times, is to condone a massive campaign to poison newborn infants starting from the very first day of life. There is abundant information proclaiming the benefits of vaccination and it is the exceptionally rare occasion when we see the mainstream media raise questions about it. Yet in all other matters of health and consumer issues, it is generally agreed that children benefit the most when parents hear all points of view on controversial issues.
Vaccine promoters admit that the reactions to all vaccines do occur, but say that they are ‘only’ temporal and coincidental. The medical associations have manipulated our collective hearts, our collective concern for our children and used our innate caring for them against us.
Bertrand Russell said, “I have seen the world plunging continually further into madness. I have seen cruelty, persecution, and superstition increasing by leaps and bounds” In the following pages you will see ample evidence that this madness and cruelty is targeted on the newborns from the first moments of life. You will hear in these pages the testimony of many doctors and other health care professionals who together paint a picture that only the uncaring and criminally ignorant will ignore. It’s really parents worst possible nightmare come true, it seems that parents have been duped into thinking they were doing something beneficial for their children by getting them vaccinated when in fact their children are being hurt. A horror has come crashing into many family lives but in the same vein that many deny the holocaust of fifty years ago, doctors, nurses; health care officials, newspapers and television deny that anything is happening at all. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. puts it all very well when he says, “The vaccine manufacturers, the Center for Disease Control, the FDA, and the various medical associations have failed miserably in their duty to protect our children. Rather than acknowledge their role in creating the immense, catastrophic rise in autism, these organizations have resorted to denial and obfuscation. They stand to lose their credibility, and billions of dollars in liability suits will soon reach the courts.”
When Elizabeth had her first DPT/OPV vaccination at age 2 months, she was a smiling, happy baby. I can still remember the extreme high pitch scream after the vaccination that lasted for several hours. She sounded like a wounded animal, crying out for help. She developed a low-grade temperature and some redness at the sight. I discussed this with her pediatrician, who informed me that I was an overly concerned Mom because I was older and this was my first child and Elizabeth had had a normal reaction. Her second vaccination was at age 4 _ months. At this time, Elizabeth was sitting; she was passing things from hand to hand, and getting around by rolling. The afternoon of her second vaccination, she had her first seizure, although I did not know what it was at that time. She was lying on the floor in front of me. I can still see her little left leg shaking for several seconds. I called the pediatrician, who told me this was normal, the sign of an immature nervous system. "Stop worrying!" the office told me. Over the next 2-3 weeks I continued to see these spells, accompanied by a decline in function. One day she fell over in her high chair, unable to sit any longer. She could no longer use her left hand. We thought she had shown a hand preference, not knowing that this did not develop for many months later. One Saturday night, I was holding her hand while it started shaking. She had a temperature and I couldn’t stop the shaking. I KNEW that no matter what the pediatrician was telling me, something was very wrong. We took Elizabeth to the emergency room. They told us to stop worrying, she had a little virus. When it got worse that evening, I took her to another hospital, who said she may have had a focal seizure, call the pediatrician on Monday, "Go home and stop worrying!" We got home and that afternoon, our beautiful baby girl had a generalized seizure and stopped breathing. Life has never been the same.
There is no longer any serious doubt that health officials are covering up a big story, trying to side step a growing swell of evidence that threatens the very foundation of medical science and practice. It is obvious that the medical profession cannot afford to have the public ever find out the truth about vaccination for there is simply just too much at stake for them. The key question is why so many people are in denial, unwilling to admit the obvious evidence that suggests we are risking our children’s lives and health when we bring them to the doctors for a shot. It’s difficult because if you admit to yourself that such a thing is happening, you have a moral obligation to demand a complete investigation and change in common medical procedures; but this brings us face to face with a powerful, ruthless political medical money machine that is not democratic or open to any truth but its own. It’s a scary prospect challenging basic assumptions upon which so much hinges. Yet what is the alternative if we can’t find people with courage and a commitment to truth, allow babies all over the world to be risked on the alters/medical tables in clinics all over the world? One woman who lost her child, Christine Colebeck wrote, “When I first began to educate parents about the dangers of vaccinations, I was horrified to realize not only are many parents ignorant to the facts but that they PREFER to be ignorant. They don’t want to take the time to educate themselves before making a choice and that ignorance can cost them the most precious gift they have.”
Can you imagine the economic and political import of discovering that immunizations are killing thousands of babies? Dr. Douglass M.D
Either there is an unprecedented increase in the number of people who commit infanticide or early childhood vaccinations are causing not only an alarming number of deaths, but also an epidemic of other disorders that have no other explanation. Today a number of babies are dieing within days or within two to four weeks of birth after the hepatitis B vaccination, as well as several others that are given in the first days and months of a baby’s life.
My daughter Lyla Rose Belkin died on September 16, 1998 at the age of five weeks, about 15 hours after receiving her second Hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. Lyla was a lively, alert five-week-old baby when I last held her in my arms. Little did I imagine as she gazed intently into my eyes with all the innocence and wonder of a newborn child that she would die that night. She was never ill before receiving the Hepatitis B shot that afternoon. At her final feeding that night, she was extremely agitated, noisy and feisty -- and then she fell asleep suddenly and stopped breathing. The autopsy ruled out choking, The NY Medical Examiner ruled her death Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). But the NY Medical Examiner (Dr. Persechino) neglected to mention Lyta's swollen brain or the hepatitis B vaccine in the autopsy report. The coroner spoke to my wife and I and our pediatrician (Dr. Zullo) the day of the autopsy and clearly stated that her brain was swollen. The pediatrician Dr. Zullo's notes of that conversation are "brain swollen ... not sure cause yet ... could not see how recombinant vaccine could cause problem.” Michael Belkin Testimony to Congress 1999
The CDC’s files contain 32,731 total reports of possible reactions following Hepatitis B shots since 1991, including 10,915 emergency room visits, 685 life-threatening reactions, 3,700 hospitalizations, 1,200 disabilities and 618 deaths. The vaccine of hepatitis B seems to be much more dangerous than the traditional vaccine because it inoculates into the body cells that are foreign to its genetic code. Bonnie Dunbar, PhD, professor of Cell Biology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, investigated whether the genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine “tricks” the immune systems of genetically susceptible individuals into attacking their own bodies, causing debilitating autoimmune and brain dysfunction. Recombinant hepatitis B vaccines contain polypeptide sequences similar to those present in human brain tissues such as myelin. It is known that viral polypeptides can induce autoimmune diseases resembling multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. There are many possible avenues of attack that vaccines can take in hurting young children. Some are obvious like the inclusion of toxic nerve poisons used as preservatives and other avenues like invasive and destabilizing protein structures that take more time to do their dirty work.
The manufacture of vaccines is a giant industry and what you pay for inoculations and doctor visits is big business for pediatricians, family practitioners and veterinarians.
In the case of hepatitis B vaccines we are seeing something particularly frightening at work. We are seeing madness as doctors and nurses are inexcusably letting themselves be hoodwinked into giving dangerous shots FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. One might as well vaccinate babies for car accidents they might get into as adults for hepatitis B is not an infectious childhood disease yet in 1991, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommended vaccinating all newborns before discharge from the hospital nursery. Spread through infected body fluids, primarily blood, it is most prevalent in high-risk adult populations such as intravenous drug users, prisoners, and individuals with multiple sexual partners, those undergoing blood transfusions, and health care workers exposed to infected blood.
An intelligent and conscientious physician might well recommend AGAINST hepatitis B vaccine, especially in newborns, unless a baby is at unusual risk because of an infected mother or household contact or membership in a population in which disease is common. Jane Orient, M.D. Director of the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons
Doctors reported only about 10,000 hepatitis B cases in the U.S. in 1997 with only 306 occurring in children under 14. The only babies at risk are those born to hepatitis B-infected mothers. In 1996, only 54 cases of the disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the 0 to 1 age group. There were 3.9 million births that year, so the observed incidence of hepatitis B in the 0 to 1 age group was just 0.001 percent. In the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 alone in the 0 to 1 age group, with 47 deaths reported. One can only wonder if the fact that Merck, the maker of the hepatitis B vaccine, making about $1 billion a year from vaccine sales, has had any influence on the CDC. One has to seriously question, knowing the fact that the central nervous system of a newborn infant is particularly susceptible to toxic influences, why children are being, in mass, lined up for this immunization that they do not need.
“We buried our 34-day-old daughter yesterday, she had died while I was breastfeeding her. I had noticed blood running out of her mouth while I was breastfeeding her. My daughter died in my arms and there was nothing I could do to saved her. During the funeral, it popped into my head that she had been vaccinated for Hep B about a day prior to her death.”
Almost every newborn U.S. baby is now greeted on its entry into the world by a vaccine injection against a sexually transmitted disease for which the baby is not at risk. Originally the CDC tried to give the shots to teens and to get junkies, prostitutes, homosexuals and promiscuous heterosexuals to take the vaccine but it was hard to get them to show up for all three doses. So in effect the CDC said, ‘Well, we’ve got a captive audience with newborns so lets play it safe and give it to them.’ And even though the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS) itself opposes the campaign for universal immunization against hepatitis B the CDC insists on vaccinating all newborns and young children against hepatitis B on the grounds that they may act irresponsibly later in life but the vaccine manufacturers themselves don’t know how long vaccine-induced immunity will last. The AAPS is a nationwide organization of physicians devoted to defending the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship. AAPS revenue is derived almost exclusively from membership dues. They receive no government funding, foundation grants, or revenue from vaccine manufacturers. Whereas the CDC and the FDA are staffed by people tied in many ways with the vaccine industry. The conflict of interest is telling and the price is a river of suffering without end.
The issue of over the hepatitis B vaccine exposes an audacious arrogance on the part of not only the pharmaceutical companies but also the medical profession and medical agencies as a whole. The information given to parents about this vaccine is a travesty and does not meet the requirements for full disclosure to parents in any way. The medical manipulations around this issue are obvious. When CDC medical officials say, “getting the disease is far more likely to cause serious illness than getting the vaccine,” they are deliberately playing on the medical ignorance of the layperson. Doctor Jane Orient testified before congress that though “This may be literally true, but it is seriously misleading if the risk of getting the disease is nearly zero (as is true for most American newborns).” And to top off this medical madness Merck & Co. stated in its 1996 product insert, “The duration of the protective effect of [the vaccine] in healthy vaccinees is unknown at present, and the need for booster doses is not yet defined.” The children not only do not need the vaccination against Hepatitis B, but also, even if they did sometime later in life, there is no assurance that the vaccination at birth would protect them in their teens or twenties. Information given to parents about this vaccine often does not meet the requirement for full disclosure. For example, it may state that
For most children, the risk of a serious vaccine reaction may be 100 times greater than the risk of hepatitis B. Overall, the incidence of hepatitis B in the U.S. is currently about 4 per 100,000. The risk for most young children is far less; hepatitis B is heavily concentrated in groups at high risk due to occupation, sexual promiscuity, or drug abuse. Jane Orient, M.D.
It is truly a sad day for humanity when it puts its own children at risk, and profoundly sad that most people will not take a clear and careful look at all the information available, preferring to remain ignorant and thus condemning an unknown amount of newborns to death or serious harm. Infanticide is arguably the most brutal and destructive manifestation of the anti-female bias that has pervaded “patriarchal” societies for several millenniums and now it does seem that medical science has assumed the reins of terror. When federal health officials and pediatricians refrain from warning the public about risks out of fear that parents will stop immunizing their children, they are using the full powers of their positions to participate in the murder of thousands of infants and the hurtful and unlawful damage of hundreds of thousands of others.
Parents should know that doctors and health care officials would rather accuse them of shaking their own kids to death (Shaken Baby Syndrome), accuse them of murdering their own children, than accept any responsibility for their ignorance of the ‘fact’ that vaccines are causing death in children.
In the May 24, 1996, New Zealand Medical Journal, J. Barthelow Classen, MD, a former researcher at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that juvenile diabetes increased 60 per cent following a massive hepatitis B vaccination campaign for babies six weeks or older in New Zealand from 1988 to 1991. In the October 22, 1997, Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, Classen showed that Finland’s incidence of diabetes increased 147 per cent in children under five after three new vaccines were introduced in the 1970s, and that diabetes increased 40 per cent in children aged 5 to 9 after the addition of the MMR and Hib vaccines in the 1980s. He concluded, “the rise in IDDM [juvenile onset diabetes] in the different age groups correlated with the number of vaccines given.”
My data indicates that the studies used to support immunization are so flawed that it is impossible to say if immunization provides a net benefit to anyone or to society in general. John B.Classen, M.D.
Despite the fact that dozens of doctors, researchers, and independent investigators have reveal serious flaws in immunization theory and practice the medical profession is still not interested in seeing or understanding the campaign of terror they are inflicting on families. Nurses, pediatricians and parents are almost completely unaware of alarming reports and findings that have been accumulating for decades for there are forces and financial interests that are dedicated to keeping it this way. It has been said that, “The medical profession is a great trade union. By means of this trade unionism we have acquired immense power, which is yearly increasing. People cannot be born without us; they cannot die without us,” said Dr. Allinson back in 1883.
I take great pride in being a medical doctor. I would not change places with anyone in the world. But I also fear for the future of my profession. Harold E Buttram, MD
Perhaps the profession has become intoxicated on its own power, and is no longer conscious of realities that violate the very principles of compassionate medicine and health care. Today something has changed and very few doctors listen to parents of autistic children, SIDS, or other vaccine damaged children, or if they listen to them, very few believe what parents are telling them. There was a time when doctors took time to listen to their patients, and equally important, took very seriously the information given to them. They believed what their eyes told them, and deduced diagnoses based on their observations and questions. Now without diagnostic tests they feel incredibly insecure to trust their own perceptions partially because of malpractice suits, and are even more afraid to perceive anything that contradicts the formal line of the AMA, FDA and CDC. They can literally be killing kids with injectable poisons but few can come up with the courage to stop as long as the main medical organizations say it’s as safe as apple pie.
Vaccines have become sacraments of our faith in biotechnology. Their efficacy and safety are widely seen as self-evident and needing no further proof. Dr. Richard Moskowitz
With this kind of attitude children can be wheeled into a hospital’s emergency room only hours after being vaccinated and most doctors will not make the simple logical connection that the cause of the medical emergency was the vaccination shot. Even if a child dies soon after doctors and nurses do not get it, because they do not want to get it, because they know in getting it they will be themselves confronting a lockstep that can pull their licensees or make their lives difficult in a number of different ways. After reading this introduction, and in the full reading of this book, one can only wonder at statements from mainstream institutions like:
Because vaccines are given to people who are not sick, they are held to the highest standards of safety. As a result, they are among the safest things we put into our bodies. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
How does one define the word safe? “If safe is defined as ‘free from any negative effects’ then vaccines aren’t safe. All vaccines have possible side effects,” states the Children’s hospital of Philadelphia. It is interesting to note the contradiction from this pro-vaccination institution. Like most medical institutions they insist that these side effects are mild and rare. Mild and rare are the watchwords of the medical and vaccine community. Mild and rare, mild and rare, mild and rare, if you say it enough times perhaps you will believe it. The fact is that the vast majority of us have bought this hook line and sinker; and the sad fact is that many thousands of families have paid a price in terms of massive suffering, agony and death.
“I recently took my two month old baby to have her first DPT, oral polio, and Hib shots. When we returned home from the clinic her crying became a high-pitched kind of screaming. She became inconsolable and I became desperate. She finally screamed herself into exhaustion a few hours later. The next morning I woke up hearing my husband screaming our baby is dead.”
It has become difficult to trust doctors when we remember when they wanted every child’s tonsils out. Now mothers have to wonder why doctors now insist that they should stay in. Where doctors once prescribed antibiotics for every sore throat, prescription-dependent patients are now being blamed for new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A new drug promoted as a lifesaver today is sometimes pulled off the market tomorrow for killing those who took it. Today vaccines are considered safe, tomorrow they will be seen as the most dangerous substances known to humankind.
In the last 30 years, the increase in vaccine shots has coincided with childhood cancers rising to become the #1 disease from which children under the age of 14 are dying.
Vaccination against childhood infectious diseases is one of the most sacred cows of modern medicine and, according to Professor Campbell, a Professor of Family Medicine in New Zealand, “any doctor who questions its safety is either foolhardy or very brave.” The buck stops with the parents though, it is they who have to decide, and it is they who give permission for the doctors and nurses to inject their children with vaccines. They cannot afford to be foolhardy or ignorant. They must inform themselves and this book is dedicated to that process.

The Intention of this Book
The real intention of this book is to stop stories like the following from happening. When Miriam Silvermintz of Fair Lawn N.J took her seven month old son Nathan to the pediatrician for his third series of vaccinations on Feb. 18,1991, she was thrilled to hear the doctor say her baby was growing beautifully. Just five hours later, as Nathan lay in his crib, he shrieked in pain. Terrified. Miriam ran in and cradled her baby in her arms. Nathan collapsed, his eyes rolling back in his head, as he suffered a severe seizure. “We called 911, and they worked on him for 45 minutes,” says Miriam. “but I knew when I held him in my arms that he was dying.” What killed Nathan? “When I first called the pediatrician after the ambulance arrived, he said Nathan probably was just having a reaction to his DPT shot,” Miriam recalls. “But when Nathan died, the doctor did an about-face and said it had nothing to do with the vaccine.” (In 1994, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims awarded damages to the Silvermintzes under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.)
When federal health officials and pediatricians refrain from warning the public about risks out of fear that parents will stop immunizing their children, they endanger, they hurt, and sometimes kill little tiny babies entrusted into their care.
What you are reading is an intense and frightening book documenting a particularly dangerous facet of medical practice. Its language is strong with conclusions complete; and it will ruffle the feathers of many mainstream people who follow traditional patterns of thought when it comes to medicine and health care. If it does not do that it fails in one of its primary directives and purpose. This work is current, condensed, and well organized in its attempt to communicate the full story on the problems with vaccines and the pain and suffering it is bringing to way too many people. There are many ways to inform oneself about vaccination problems, and it is well worth ones while, before risking ones children, to fully inform and educate oneself to what one is actually about to do, and what risk you are about to subject your children and your family to.
I have run against so many histories of little children who had never seen a sick day until they were vaccinated and who, in the several years that have followed, have never seen a well day since. I couldn’t put my finger on the disease they have. They just weren’t strong. Their resistance was gone. They were perfectly well before they were vaccinated. They have never been well since. William Howard Hay, M.D.
There are many people though; the vast majority in fact, of medical people and health officials and ordinary citizens who would prefer you did not inform yourself about vaccine dangers and would have you, like your parents before you, behave like idiots, with total faith and blind belief in your doctor, simply cart your children off to the doctors office for shots that risk your babies life, in rare occasions, and certainly their general health in way too many cases.
Here, take this sugar pill, it is danger-free, it is a wonderful thing, it has no risk, no problems,’ and doctors have become lazy and actually believed this dangerous philosophy put out by the pharmaceutical companies and the governments. Byron Hyde, MD Chairman of the Ottawa-based Nightingale Research Foundation
This book pleads with you not to reject information that can protect your baby. It pleads that you make the effort to fully educate yourself and it specifically begs all parents to think carefully before making a final decision whether to vaccinate their children or not. It implores you to think for yourself and not let the medical powers hustle you into a premature decision. With all my heart I ask you these things. This book will also address itself to health care workers in all sectors and specialties, but reserves special attention to the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and promote vaccines, to the pediatricians who willing administer them, and to the health and medical organizations that are promoting medical terrorism.
To the extent the physician simply complies without making an independent evaluation of the appropriateness of the vaccine for each patient, he is abdicating his responsibility under the Oath of Hippocrates to “prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.” Jane Orient, M.D.
In these pages you will find my heart and I hope you will find your own, for this is a subject of the heart, a subject of truth, and thus it has great import for humanity. What many others and I have discovered is an insult to humanity, an insult to our collective intelligences, and potentially a violation of being greater than any other ever perpetuated. These insults come in the form of intense medical pressure to vaccinate your children. We have all been programmed with the attitude that plagues will return and ravage the western world without everyone giving their child a full set of vaccination. This is a very powerful force in modern society, programmed deeply into our unconscious. But is it true just because we have been told it is true? If it is so true why is it that there is a groundswell of doctors around the world beginning to speak like Dr. Moscowitz who says, “For us to bombard a newborn baby with a whole battery of vaccines as, in effect, their very first immunologic experience I think is reckless beyond measure. I would say it borders on the criminal.”
Medically this book challenges all nurses and doctors around the world to re-educate themselves to the entire issue of vaccinations. It calls for an international forum and investigation that challenges the basic assumptions that have ruled the field for over a century when it comes to vaccines. In his second term of office President Clinton proposed a ten-year program to develop an AIDS vaccine. He likened its importance and magnitude to the space program that led to the manned-landing on the moon in 1969. It would be more rational to propose a one year all out program to examine the entire paradigm about vaccinations before a world medical court than it would to rush out and develop one more vaccine that can badly hurt children. This entire subject needs to be brought in front of a world medical court that can guarantee its objectivity and responsibility to answer for humanity the question of the safety and efficacy of vaccines. This question cannot be left in the hands of the traditional health organizations like the Center of Disease Control or the World Health Organization who both share a tremendous bias toward the subject of vaccination. Medical experts and health officials with financial ties to vaccine manufacturers publicly down-play the lethal risks of vaccines.
It is apparent that critical medical decisions for an entire generation of American children are being made by small committees whose members have incestuous ties with agencies that stand to gain power, or manufacturers that stand to gain enormous profits, from the policy that is made. Jane Orient, M.D. Testimony given to the U.S. House of Representatives
Pharmaceutical corporations and individual executives have now been accused of genocide before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Companies including Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are accused of deliberately preventing life-saving natural alternatives to drug based treatments from being applied in prevention and cure. A worldwide disinformation campaign undertaken by these companies is said to have caused the death of countless people. Throughout the 20th century, the pharmaceutical industry was built and organized with the goal of controlling healthcare systems around the world by systematically replacing natural, non-patentable therapies with patentable and therefore profitable synthetic drugs that are themselves responsible for provoking disease and death instead of promoting health. The pharmaceutical companies are not historically known to keep the best interests of the public in mind. They have been run for decades by a handful of wealthy and unscrupulous entrepreneurs interested in the bottom line. Though the accusations brought before the World Court in 2003 did not specifically mention the vaccine issue it is clear that these companies begin to stake out their marketing share from the moment of our birth. And it is clear that they have hid very effectively from doctors, nurses and the population at large their use of toxic nerve chemicals like mercury as preservatives in vaccines since the 1930s.
How do you force a child to have an injection that she does not want? Will police officers be called to hold her down while the needle is thrust into her arm? And what will they do to her mother, who believes the jab is dangerous? Will she have to be manacled, while they take the child away? Will she be imprisoned if she refuses to co-operate? The whole idea is repulsive and un-British. Yet the Court of Appeal last week ordered that two girls, aged ten and five, should be made to have the controversial MMR triple immunizations against their mothers' wishes. The ten-year-old, aware of what is happening, agrees with her mother. Forced medical treatment is something that happens in concentration camps, not in the NHS. Peter Hitchens
The intent of this book is to warn as many parents as possible so parents avoid the pain that this man and woman suffered because they read about the dangers of vaccines too late:
"My dearest little daughter died 10 hours after receiving her 3th dose of DPT, HIB, and oral polio vaccines. She was only 16 months old. There is no way I can ever express the intensity of my suffering, my hurt, pain, anger and rage. I really did not know that a human being was capable of such suffering until my little baby died in my arms. I cried and cried and cried until the tears would no longer come. I feel as if my life has been destroyed, completely destroyed. I have now promised myself that I will channel all of my anger into trying to stop this living nightmare from happening to others. No one should have to live through what I did.”

The Story with Mercury
(and other toxic nerve poisons in Vaccines)
Mercury is a poison at any level. The levels of risk to the infant from exposure occurring during critical windows of neurological development is unknown through direct scientific study and experimentation but is now ‘suspected’ to be extraordinarily high.
Standing up for both sides of the argument about the toxic nerve poison mercury added as a preservative to vaccines, Dr. Neal Halsey, of Johns Hopkins University Institute for Vaccine Safety said pointedly, “We can say there is no evidence of harm, but the truth is no one has looked.” In what was perhaps the best kept secret of the 20th century a highly toxic mercury-based preservative thimerosal has been widely used as a preservative in vaccines and is now present in more than 30 childhood vaccines. Manufacturers had used thimerosal, which contains ethyl-mercury, as a preservative in multi-dose vials of vaccine. The vials allow needles to be inserted repeatedly and the vaccine drawn out. The vials are cheaper than packaging doses of vaccine separately, without thimerosal.
Most infants have been receiving up to 15 doses of mercury-containing vaccines by the time they are 6 months old. It is almost inconceivable that these heavy burdens of foreign immunologic materials, introduced into the immature systems of children, could fail to bring about disruptions and adverse reactions in these in these systems. Harold Buttram MD
Mercury has been known to be hazardous for literally hundreds of years, and its dangers have been well documented. Thousands of parents have reported biological and neurodevelopment changes in their children directly following administration of mercury-containing vaccines with a broad range of symptoms, including sudden onset of shyness, GI distress, loss of motor skill function, allergies, the inability to speak, tremors and autonomic disturbances, mimic those associated with mercury poisoning. The danger that thimerosal presents is that it contains 49.5 percent ethyl mercury by weight. Mercury has long been the source of many serious health problems and is especially toxic to the rapidly developing fetal and infant brain. Dr. Boyd Haley, Chairman of the Chemistry Department at the University of Kentucky said, “Thimerosal is one of the most toxic compounds I know of, I can't think of anything that I know of is more lethal." And yet even though the FDA questioned Thimerosals safety several times and decided for example in 1982 that it was "not safe for 'over-the-counter' topical use, because of its potential for cell damage," it never did anything to question its use in childhood vaccines. One can only wonder at this lapse in responsibility and at the legitimacy of Dr. Neal Halsey’s statement “We can say there is no evidence of harm.” Perhaps he and many others in the official medical establishment are waiting for an experiment to be conducted where perfectly healthy newborns are intentionally injected with high doses of mercury to see if a poison like thimerosal is really a poison. In reality such an experiment has been done though no one wants to admit the truth of such a dark secret. Billions of us have already received our shots and to push the point Halsey voted in 1990 to dramatically increase the amount of Thimerosal exposure to babies by adding two new vaccines to the roster of mandatory immunizations children must have before enrolling in school. The combination of the Hepatitis B vaccine and the HiB vaccine more than doubled the amount of mercury injected into children’s veins so now what was hidden has finally come out. Medical officials in the United States pushed mercury exposure through the roof and now we can finally decide as a civilization whether it’s a good idea or not to inject the most dangerous poison on earth, beside uranium and plutonium, directly into newborns.
If an average 5 kg-infant received all thimerosal-containing vaccines at his two-month visit, his exposure that day would be 62.5 mcg ethyl mercury--125 times as great as the EPA guideline.
One thing should be clear, no physician or nurse in their right mind who administers vaccinations would be willing to voluntarily submit to an injection of thimerosal adjusted for his/her weight equivalent to what our newborns routinely receive. "If you take a ten-pound baby in, and it gets four shots on that one day, which has become a common practice - that's equivalent to giving a 100-pound person forty shots in one day," said mercury expert Dr. Boyd Haley. Yet one father of a child who displayed autistic tendencies cried out that not only had is son received the MMR vaccine, but he received a total of 9 vaccines in one day. He had DPaT, MMR, HepB-HiB combo and oral polio. Perhaps it would be fair to the world if the officials at the FDA, CDC, the AMA, WHO, and the APA all volunteered for such an experiment and allowed themselves to be injected with the same levels of thimerosal adjusted for his/her weight equivalent to what they themselves recommended our newborns routinely receive. There should be no problem for after all “there is no evidence of harm!”
Approximately one-half of the hundreds of parents who call our office each month report that their child became autistic shortly after receiving a vaccination. Portia Iverson Cure Autism Now foundation in Los Angeles
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States admits that the nervous system is very sensitive to all forms of mercury and that exposure to high levels of metallic, inorganic, or organic mercury can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and developing fetus. Effects on brain functioning may include irritability, tremors, and changes in vision or hearing, attention, language, and memory problems. They also admit that the effects of short-term exposure to high levels of metallic mercury vapors may include lung damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation. They did admit that researchers in one study did find statistically significant associations between thimerosal and several neurodevelopmental disorders, including language delays, speech delays, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), unspecified developmental delays, stammering, sleep disorders, emotional disorders, and tics. Yet the CDC will not admit any correlation between the use of thimerosal in vaccines and the complaints of thousands of desperate parents. In enormous contrast, the US General Accounting Office said in 1999 "[a] vaccine can have severe side effects, including death or disabling conditions requiring lifetime medical care." If you are getting the feeling that you are reading about one of the greatest tragedies ever inflicted on humankind, you are correct. And the day will come, when before a world court, all the evidence will be heard and final judgment will be handed down.
Thimerosal is severely toxic to numerous brain proteins.
It is really up to chemists to show that thimerosal is toxic to brain proteins and that is exactly what Dr. Mark Lovell and Dr. Boyd E. Haley, did. They studied the extent of neurotoxicity of pure thimerosal and of vaccines with and without thimerosal present. The experiments were done as follows: Neurons were grown in culture for 24 hours. Then pure thimerosal or vaccines were added to test cultures. The death of neurons was observed for the next 24 hours and compared to the death of neurons in the absence of toxicant. “The results showed that the vaccines with thimerosal present were much more toxic than thimerosal-free vaccines. Pure thimerosal was toxic at the low nanomolar level--an extremely low concentration, about 10,000 times less than the thimerosal concentration found in most vaccines. These results leave little doubt about thimerosal being the toxic agent in the vaccines. In these studies with human brain samples the exposure to mercury dramatically reduced the viability of a major brain protein called tubulin, but had little if any effect on another major protein, actin. Both tubulin and actin are critically important for the growth of dendrites or maintenance of axon structures of neurons. Exposing neurons to mercury rapidly results in the stripping of tubulin from the axon structure, leaving bare neurofibrils that form the tangles that are the diagnostic hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Thimerosal, like mercury, also rapidly reduces the viability of tubulin; in addition, however, it abolishes the viability of actin. This likely represents a major difference in the mechanism of mercury versus organic-mercury (more neurotoxic) toxicity. However, both mercury and organic-mercury inhibit tubulin viability and would work in concert to damage neurons of the central nervous system. This research was presented in the spring of 2001 to the Institute of Medicine Immunization Safety Review Committee, which concluded its analysis by stating that thimerosal involvement in autism was a plausible hypothesis.
Approximately 12 out of the 18 vaccine doses the average child receives before the age of two contain Thimerosal. Cumulatively, that's more than 200 micrograms of mercury, which would fit on the head of a pin. According to the EPA, dropping that pin-head of mercury into 23 gallons of water would make it unsafe for human consumption.
What the US General Accounting office is admitting here is a truth worse perhaps than the savagery of the Aztecs who dragged the captives up the steps of their pyramids to be slaughtered like pigs. We are dragging ‘our own’ children to doctors offices and clinics, kicking and screaming ‘please no Mommy,’ if they are old enough, screaming all the same even if newborn after their skin is penetrated by a needle containing a lurid liquid, plunging it directly into their bloodstream, brain and immune system. No more compassionate than the Aztec temple priests, the Gods of medical science in their white coats plunge the needle in without even knowing what is in the liquid vial. Yes this is correct, most doctors and nurses are not aware of the components of vaccines and have abandoned their professional responsibilities to find out. Even with the lives of infants at stake they have blindly accepted the goodness of vaccines even though they contain the most toxic nerve poisons known to man. True to the tradition of medicine as religion, not as a science, professionals routinely give up rational process and investigation and accept blindly what they are told in medical school.
*Special Note: I acknowledge that this paragraph employs strong images that will not sit well with pediatricians and many other doctors who ‘think’ they are doing good and who have been ignorant of the real story behind vaccinations. And I debated with myself whether to soften it down, but when you read many of the stories in this book about actual parents and their children and what they have gone through, and when you read about the continued arrogance of doctors and health officials, I hope you will be able to understand why I left it in. Including thimerosal and other nerve toxins, that you will be introduced to in this chapter, represents the worst crime against humanity ever committed in the author’s view. There is no changing the horror perpetrated nor the arrogance and circle round the wagons psychology on the part of the medical community when confronted with desperate parents looking for answers to their childrens’ sudden deaths.
It is astounding that even if a normal and healthy child goes home and dies within twenty-four hours the medical powers that be will scratch their heads and pronounce on the death certificate, “this child died of unknown causes.” (SIDS) Or worse, the child’s parents, already destroyed and choked in a sea of agony and grief that no human should know, are questioned by police and accused of murder. This flies in the face of the fact that according to the Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated 60,000 DPT shots annually are reported as having been followed by convulsions, shock, collapse, temperatures of 105 degrees, and/or high pitched screaming. What could be worth subjecting our children to such a thing? Are we risking our children’s lives for a concept? For a concept of medicine that might not even be true?
My suspicion, which is shared by others in my profession, is that the nearly 10,000 SIDS deaths that occur in the United States each year are related to one or more of the vaccines that are routinely given children. The pertussis vaccine is the most likely villain, but it could also be one or more of the others. Dr. Mendelsohn, M.D.
Yet the CDC insists that no harmful effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor reactions like ‘redness and swelling at the injection site.’ It is known that a review conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that the use of thimerosal as a preservative in vaccines might result in the intake of mercury during the first 6 months of life that exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But the CDC continues to flatly state, “There is no evidence that any vaccine or vaccine additive increases the risk of developing autism or any other behavior disorder.” The question must be raised if they truly believe this is why, in July 1999, did the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines ‘for the US market only’ as a precautionary measure. Could it be that they have finally found out what Eli Lilly and Company have known since 1947 when they were told the obvious about their product thimerosal, that “it may be dangerous to inject a serum containing merthiolate into a patient sensitive to merthiolate." In 1948 Lilly received the following report, "Merthiolate is such a commonly used preservative for biologicals, plasma, cartilage, etc., that it would seem important to determine whether harm would result following its subcutaneous or intravenous injection in skin sensitive individuals." And then in 1950 the New York Academy of Science article, Mercurials as Antiseptics, was known to have reached Lilly’s offices. This stated clearly that, "It (merthiolate) is toxic when injected parenterally and therefore cannot be used in chemotherapy." When so much was at stake when it comes to what we subject newborn babies and young children to, how is it that it took until the very end of the 20th century for this subject to come out into the light of day?
The injection of mercury into the veins of children who are highly sensitive to mercury is obviously a hideous crime. The fact is that mercury is the second most toxic element in the periodic table of elements and is poisonous to all human being. Yet it does seem that some children are more sensitive than others and will thus react in more intensively negative ways. Some will die where others will not.
Denials of facts and reality in reports by federal agencies are unfortunately all too common and thus it is very difficult now to trust federal agencies in the United States. For example, just recently the Bush administration was accused of actively burying research that indicates that global warming may be a threat to human health or the environment. It was reported in the NY Times in June of 2003 that the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Office of Management and Budget hammered the E.P.A. into modifying a long section of a new report that highlighted the risks posed by rising global temperatures. The section was reduced to a noncommittal paragraph that deleted any mention that the 1990's were the warmest decade in the last thousand years in the Northern Hemisphere. Gone was a judgment by the National Research Council about the likely human contributions to global warming. Gone was the introductory statement that "Climate change has global consequences for human health and the environment." This is a shameful and dangerous case of censorship that is common in many important areas of public concern and safety and is highly evident in regards to the story of vaccinations and the actual effects it is having on our children’s lives.
Every day new parents are ringing us. They all have the same tragic story. Healthy baby, child, teenager, usually a boy, given the DPT or DT, or MMR booster followed by a sudden fall or slow, but steady decline into autism or other spectrums disorder." The Hope Project (Ireland)
In March of 2001, the law firm of Waters & Kraus, of Dallas, Texas, filed the first known civil case alleging that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal has caused mercury poisoning in many children. Thimerosal has been used as an additive to biologics and vaccines since the end of the 1930's but incredibly it was only in 1999 that the truth emerged that most vaccines are laced with mercury and other toxic substances to increase shelf life. Pharmaceutical companies add drugs, antibiotics, and toxic disinfectants to vaccines, substances like: neomycin, streptomycin, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, formaldehyde, as well as thimerosal which is fifty percent mercury by weight. Now finally we are being told that vaccines without thimerosal are available in the United States but the World Health Organization says that is not an option for developing countries, due to practical constraint and high cost. But since thimerosal is not the only hazardous substance added to vaccines we are not being assured of anything if that one component is removed. Below is a list of the deadly compounds found in vaccines:
ALUMINUM: a neuro-toxin which has been associated w/ Alzheimers, disease, dementia and seizures; aluminum is carcinogenic in laboratory mice and added to vaccines to "promote antibody response." Injections of Aluminum into animals produce behavioral, neuropathological and neurochemical changes that partially model Alzheimers. Aluminum is known to have the ability to produce neurotoxicity by many mechanisms. Neurotoxic effects of aluminum were recognized more than 100 years ago, but have only recently been studied in detail. So we have to ask ourselves what about aluminum INJECTED into the body not as a vaccine preservative but as a vaccine adjuvant? The mechanisms of aluminum neurotoxicity are presently unclear but evidence has emerged suggesting that aluminum accumulation in the brain can alter neuronal signal transduction pathways associated with glutamate receptors. Aluminum is widely used as an adjuvant in human vaccines, and children can often receive up to 3.75 mg of parenteral aluminum during the first six months of life. What is this neuro-friendly chemical doing in something given to little children?
THIMEROSAL: a sodium salt derived from the deadly poison mercury and used as a disinfectant and preservative; thimerosal has been linked to brain and kidney damage as well as immune and neurological dis-orders; it is a component of vaccines for DPT, tetanus, hepatitius B and Hib.
FORMALDEHYDE: a major component of embalming fluid, which of course is pumped into dead people; a known cancer-causing chemical, this toxic substance is used to "inactivate" viruses and detoxify bacterial toxins; formaldehyde has also shown to be injurious to the liver and to trigger gene mutations.
CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL): believed to cause gender mutation; a deadly poison used as a disinfectant, dye;
ANTI (AGAINST) BIOTICS (LIFE): Neomycin, Streptomycin and a variety of other drugs - to which increasing numbers of the population are demonstrating serious allergies and to which increasing numbers of microbes are developing genetically-transmitted tolerance;
ACETONE: used in fingernail polish remover and as a solvent;
ALUM: used as a preservative;
GLYCERIN: a tri-atomic alcohol extracted from natural fats which are putrefied and decomposed; toxic effects damage the kidneys, liver, lungs and "pronounced local tissue damage, gastrointestinal damage and death.”
TOXIC CHEMICALS & DRUGS: trace elements of other chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, benzethonium chloride, methylparaben; some of which are known or suspected of causing cancer.
Formaldehyde (used in embalming), thimerosal (nearly 50 percent mercury), aluminum phosphate (toxic and carcinogenic), antibiotics, phenols (corrosive to skin and toxic), aluminum salts (corrosive to tissue and neuro-toxic), methanol (toxic), isopropyl (toxic), 2- pheoxyethanol (toxic), live viruses and a host of unknown components considered off-limits as trade secrets are all a part of what is injected into the veins of newborn infants. Aluminum and formaldehyde are ‘extremely’ toxic and most chemists, biologists and medical people would confirm that microscopic doses of these substances could lead to cancer, neurological damage, and death. Formaldehyde is not approved for human consumption by the FDA yet small amounts of formaldehyde are approved by the FDA for use in manufacturing several vaccines, including vaccines against anthrax, diphtheria, hepatitis A, influenza, Japanese encephalitis, and tetanus. Formaldehyde has been used in vaccine manufacturing since the 1960s, if not earlier. Literally billions of people around the world have been given tetanus toxoid processed with formaldehyde (as anthrax vaccine is). Anthrax vaccine, for example, which does not contain thimerosal, is formulated to contain 1.2 mg/mL aluminum, added as aluminum hydroxide in 0.85% sodium chloride. The product is formulated to contain 25 mg/mL benzethonium chloride and 100 mg/mL formaldehyde, added as preservatives. Anthrax vaccine contains aluminum hydroxide, as do FDA-licensed diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Lyme disease, pertussis, and tetanus vaccines. Benzethonium chloride is also used as a preservative in the anthrax vaccine. It is also a common component in other injectable and nasal medications (such as thrombin, ketamine, orphenadrine [Norflex], and butorphanol [Stadol]). Benzethonium chloride is sometimes also called Phemerol.
If one uses nerve poisons such as mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde in vaccines one should expect problems of all kinds. Only the most blind and ignorant would not perceive this.
In 1972 the British Medical Journal reports skin burns resulting from the chemical interaction of thimerosal and aluminum. They informed the Elli Lilly & Company that, "Mercury is known to act as a catalyst and to cause aluminum to oxidize rapidly, with the production of heat. Thimerosal is being used in vaccines that also contain aluminum and no one has even begun to speculate on the complex chemical interactions that can take place once the vaccine fluid containing a mix of highly toxic chemicals is injected into young children or adults. Many vaccines contain aluminum ions that have neurotoxic properties, and aluminum is considered a factor in Alzheimer’s disease etiology. Experiments have been done at a research laboratory at the University of Kentucky by Dr. Boyd E. Haley and J. Curtis Pendergrass, Ph.D. to determine if aluminum would increase the toxicity of very low levels of thimerosal. The results were unequivocal: The presence of aluminum dramatically increased the rate of neuronal death caused by thimerosal. Therefore, the aluminum and thimerosal combination found in vaccines produces a toxic mixture that cannot be compared to situations where thimerosal alone was the toxic exposure.
Dr. Haley gives us a basic chemistry lesson when he says, “The enhanced toxicity of thimerosal created by the addition of aluminum represents a problem with all forms of mercury toxicity. Synergism of toxic metals is well known. A slightly toxic solution of lead, mixed with a slightly toxic solution of mercury, results in a very toxic mixture. This is similar to the enhanced adverse reactivity to thimerosal found in optomological solutions, when subjects were prescribed to take the antibiotic tetracycline. For some reason, tetracycline increased the ocular toxic reaction to thimerosal. We have done some experiments to determine if certain antibiotics could also increase thimerosal-induced neuronal death in the neuron culture system. Our preliminary results indicate that this is the case, especially with tetracycline and ampicillin.” The potential for interference between the components in vaccines has never been properly addressed. Vaccine manufacturers themselves are aware of this interference. Douglas, a spokes person for Merck spoke about the, "unpredicted immune interference and incompatibilities on mixing of different components, demonstrating again the inadequacy of our understanding of how vaccines work and the empiric nature of the science."
Any good biochemist knows that Thimerosal and aluminum react dangerously when combined together. Dr. Boyd Haley
Yet amazingly no one in officialdom is challenging the way vaccines are made and what damaging effect they are having on target populations. The dangers of vaccination are real; the only case the medical establishment can make is that adverse reactions are ‘rare.’ One only has to look at the white slips that come with each and every vaccine to discover what the vaccine companies recognize as the risks and dangers of giving one’s child each vaccination. The below is a list compiled from three vaccines, warnings from the manufacturers of the vaccines themselves. Vaccines are supposed to be perfectly safe but any of the below can happen to your child according to the pharmaceutical companies who make the vaccines. What they will not and cannot answer is why these reactions occur in a frequency that would scare any parent to death.
A severe constitutional reaction may occasionally follow an injection of Triple Antigen, Hepititus B and MMR vaccines: persistent screaming with or without vomiting, shock and collapse have been known to occur. malaise; vomiting; convulsions, encephalopathy, oedema, dyspnoea, chest discomfort, bronchial spasm, or palpitation have been reported within the first few hours after vaccination. An apparent hypersensitivity syndrome of delayed onset has been reported days to weeks after vaccination, including arthritis and dermatological reactions such as erythema multiforme, ecchymoses and erythema nodosum,reactions in joints, sweating, achiness, sensation of warmth, lightheadedness, chills, flushing, diminished appetite. Rhinitis, influenza, cough, Vertigo/dizziness, paraesthesia, Pruritus, rash (nonspecified), angioedema, urticária, Arthralgia including monoarticular, myalgia, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, neck stiffness, Insomnia/disturbed sleep, Neurological disorders such as myelitis, including transverse myelitis; acute radiculoneuropathy and Herpes zoster, Visual disturbances, sore throat, headache, dizziness, fever, rash, nausea, diarrhoea; afebrile convulsions or siezures; ataxia; nerve deafness; thrombocytopenia and purpura; allergic reactions, anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions.
E. Stephen Edwards, MD, President, American Academy of Pediatrics says to you on the AAP’s website that he and “pediatricians are your partners in the important job of keeping your child healthy…and we take that partnership very seriously. That’s why we encourage you to have your child immunized against deadly, preventable diseases.” On their site you will also read, “An early CDC study suggested a possible ‘weak’ connection between the amount of thimerosal given and certain neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD, speech and language delays, and tics.” And he finishes with “There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet about vaccines, so I commend you for finding your way to this reliable web site. We’re proud to provide you with the information you’ll need to make an educated decision about immunization.” What he does not want you to know is that in the February 27, 1998, issue of The Lancet, Dr. Andrew Wakefield and 13 of his colleagues reported on a new syndrome involving inflammatory bowel disease and autism in children. Eight out of 12 normal children who developed severe intestinal disorders soon after an MMR vaccination also became autistic. Previously, five of those eight children had reacted adversely to vaccinations. The team of British scientists, who had inadvertently stumbled upon the connection while studying Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel dysfunction in children, true to form in the modern world of medicine, emphasized that they had not ‘proved’ a cause-and-effect relationship. They called for more studies to investigate whether persistent viral infection, either from natural disease or live virus vaccines, can lead to central nervous system damage in some children. It is routine for people like Edwards to discount studies like this saying that children’s health problems are “coincidental” and not caused by vaccination. Bernard Rimland PhD said in response, “It is ludicrous to claim that the link between many causes of autism and vaccination is just coincidental.” One can only wonder what will happen the day that “proof” is provided, the day when the blind can see that mercury is a poison that should not be injected to babies on the first or any day of their lives.
If the vaccine manufacturers have scientific proof that Thimerosal is safe for infants, why don't they produce their studies and continue using the compound?
Documents from the archives of Eli Lilly & Company, the manufacture of thimerosal, clearly demonstrate that the mercury-based vaccine preservative implicated in a number of recent law suits as causing neurological injury to infants, was known as early as April 1930 to be dangerous. In its apparent eagerness to promote and market the product, in September, 1930, Eli Lilly secretly sponsored a "human toxicity" study on patients already known to be dying of meningococcal meningitis. Andrew Waters, of The Dallas-based law firm of Waters & Kraus stated that, "Lilly then cited this study repeatedly for decades as proof that thimerosal was of low toxicity and harmless to humans. They never revealed to the scientific community or the public the highly questionable nature of the original research." The tests were conducted in 1929 by a young researcher named K.C. Smithburn who injected 22 human subjects that were already dying with a one-percent solution and then pronounced that all the patients were reported ‘without ill effect.’ That they all died was never mentioned. "It's apparent that Lilly didn't want to do the study themselves because it's apparent that there were enormous ethical problems with injecting people even people dying of meningitis - with mercury," Waters said. "What Smithburn did was wrong, because he agreed to do the study for Lilly, and not only did he agree to do it, but he agreed to give them results that he knew were flawed.” There simply are no images or words, no analogies that can be used to describe what Eli Lilly and Company, and then other pharmaceutical companies perpetuated in their zeal to make a profit.
If Thimerosal isn't safe for children, why did they use it in childhood vaccines? You can't do a study showing if thimerosal is safe. It is just too toxic.
For people living outside of the United States, be advised that Dr. Edwards is not recommending that you and your babies be given the same benefit of the doubt as Americans are being given. They make it very clear that mercury is being taken out of American vaccines, not yours. They say on their site, “Even though there’s no evidence that thimerosal in vaccines is dangerous, the Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics believe the effort to remove mercury-based preservatives from vaccines was a good decision. By taking thimerosal out of vaccines, we are lessening the amount of mercury a child will be exposed to early in life.” The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges the US recommendations to avoid thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine for certain newborns, including the screening of pregnant mothers for the blood marker of the liver infection. But WHO underlines this is not an option for developing countries due to practical constraints and the high cost.
Thimerosal is being removed from the American market but it is not being removed from the vaccines given to hundreds of millions of other children around the world.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also says, “When vaccines containing thimerosal have been administered in the recommended doses, allergic type reactions (hives, shock) have been noted on rare occasions. No other harmful effects have been reported.” Yet on the same site they stick their foot in their mouths when they say, “An early CDC study suggested a possible ‘weak’ connection between the amount of thimerosal given and certain neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD, speech and language delays, and tics.” Does this engender trust in their basic integrity? It’s almost unbelievable that such an organization would publicly contradict itself.
If it is unsafe why is it continued in use in vaccines used outside the United States?
If you have doubts about the mercury story know that the EPA limit is 0.1 micrograms of mercury per kilogram body weight per day. It doesn'ttake a genius to do the calculations when on their day of birth children are given the hepatitis B vaccine, which is 12.5 micrograms of mercury in vaccinations in every country in the world except the United States where there is still some confusion about what the vaccine manufactures have and have not done with their current batch of vaccines. The average newborn weighs between 6 and 7 pounds, so they would be allowed 0.3 micrograms of mercury but in this one shot they are getting 12.5 micrograms. That's 39 times more than allowed by law in the United States.
Representative Frank Pallone Jr., from New Jersey, instigated the entire investigation into mercury vaccines in 1997 when he attached an amendment to an F.D.A. bill requiring the agency to inventory all mercury contained in licensed drugs and vaccines. The job of adding up the amount of mercury in vaccines and assessing its risk fell to Robert Ball, an F.D.A. scientist, and two F.D.A. pediatricians, Leslie Ball and R. Douglas Pratt. The F.D.A. team's conclusions were frightening and began a process which led Dr. Neal Halsey, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics committee on infectious diseases to finally recommend the ‘voluntary’ withdraw from vaccines distributed in the United States. Vaccines added in the last 25 years had tripled the dose of mercury that infants got in their first few months of life meaning that as many as 30 million American children may have been exposed to mercury in excess of Environmental Protection Agency guidelines -- levels of mercury that, in theory, could have killed enough brain cells to scramble thinking or hex behavior.
The connection between mercury exposure from thimerosal-containing vaccines and neuro-developmental disorders, including autism are biologically plausible.
According to toxicologists, because of the inherent pharmokinetics of mercury and its long half-life in the body, the effect of a large injected dose cannot be calculated as though it were ingested in small amounts over a longer period of time and yet this is exactly what people at the FDA and CDC are counting on to decrease the alarm. The ‘experts’ averaging of the daily dose of mercury exposure from vaccines over a six-month period and implying that this “average dose” is not likely to be very toxic is shocking coming from educated professionals and is absolutely unacceptable. Such averaging is not the true representation of the situation. Some infants are given three thimerosal vaccinations in one setting and the instantaneous exposure is much more relevant to evaluating possible neurological damage than calculating an average exposure over a long period of time. “Averaging exposures is as irrelevant to this issue as claiming that someone who just chugged a jug of whiskey could not be drunk (alcohol toxic), because it was his only exposure to alcohol in six months, and the alcohol exposure would calculate on the daily average over this time period to be too low to cause intoxication. The question with regard to thimerosal and vaccinations should be, ‘Was there any time that the thimerosal level surpassed the ability of the infant’s body to protect itself from ethyl-mercury exposure?” explains our chemist Boyd E. Haley, PhD.
The story is horrible when you consider that children are getting multiple vaccinations at 2 months. And the picture darkens further when we realize that the US federal limits apply to oral ingestion of mercury, not mercury injected directly into the blood stream with a hypodermic needle. The implications of such injections are much worse than implied by the limits for oral doses. Obviously no experiments have been done on children that would measure what levels of needle injection would be safe. All logic would imply that anything above zero levels of nerve chemicals would be unsafe.
Vaccines generally contain between .01-.025% each of formaldehyde, mercury (or substitute #6-pheno-oxyethanol, a protoplasmic poison), aluminium, and a host of other toxic substances known to be deadly to humankind.
According to Mark Geier, M.D., Ph.D "The 2003 Physicians' Desk Reference [PDR] still shows childhood vaccines in the United States containing thimerosal, including diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis. DTaP, manufactured by Aventis Pasteur, contains 25[mu]g [25 micrograms] of mercury, Hemophilus influenzae b (Hib) vaccine manufactured by Wyeth contains 25[mu]g of mercury and pediatric Hepatitis B vaccine, manufactured by Merck, contains 12.5[mu]g of mercury." Though it was reported by Kelly O’Meara, who is an investigative reporter for Insight Magazine, that Len Lavenda, a spokesman for Avenus Pasteur, denied the continued use of mercury, despite the continued use in the white package slips still shipped with the vaccines, parents around the world can be assured that their children are still getting the above amounts in their vaccination shots.
Dr. Geier said, “It is possible that children in the U.S. in 2003 may be exposed to levels of mercury from thimerosal contained in childhood vaccines that are at higher levels than at any time in the past. Possible total childhood mercury in 2003 is more than 300[mu]g." For US citizens these numbers are in doubt, for the rest of the world they are not!
Mercury poisoning and autism have nearly identical symptoms: self-injurious behavior, social withdrawal, lack of eye contact, lack of facial expression, hypersensitivity to noise and touch, and repetitive behaviors. Stephanie Cave, MD
"The mercury has left its mark in the brains and immune systems of these children.... The body gets rid of mercury by secreting bile, but an infant does not produce bile at this age. In the hepatitis B vaccine alone, we are giving 12.5 mcg at birth, 12.5 mcg at a month, 50 mcg at two months, 50 mcg at four months, and 62.5 mcg at 6 months, and if you do your math, we're giving a load of mercury to these children before they can make bile and can get rid of it," explains Cave.
In June 2003, the World Health Organization changed the level of mercury consumption considered safe from 3.6 to 1.5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. (A microgram is 0.000000035 of an ounce, and a kilogram is 2.2 pounds.)
In his opening statement to the House Committee on Government Reform's hearing on mercury and medicine on June 18, 2000, Congressman Daniel Burton (R-Indiana) stated, “the truth is that sometimes kids go to their doctor's office and get four or five vaccines at the same time. My grandson received vaccines for nine different diseases in one day. He might have been exposed to 62.5 micrograms of mercury in one day through his vaccines. According to his weight, the maximum safe level of mercury that he should be exposed to in one day is 1.51 micrograms. This is 41 times the amount at which harm can be caused." Burton's grandson, who was healthy before he received the shots, now suffers from autism.
The majority of ‘normal’ children seem to have an ability to defend themselves against potentially toxic exposures and may demonstrate little negative effect despite exposures that were relatively large. By contrast, children who later are diagnosed as autistic experienced seem to be completely incapable of excreting mercury through hair. In the August 2003 issue of The International Journal of Toxicology you will find a study by Amy S. Holmes, Mark F. Blaxill and Dr. Boyd E. Haley that will show that autistic children do not handle mercury like normal children as witnessed by the difference in the mercury levels in their BIRTH hair. The low levels of mercury in the hair of autistic infants support a hypothesis that these infants were retaining mercury in tissue at a higher rate than control infants. The lack of mercury in the hair of autistics may be due to a decrease in blood mercury levels feeding the hair follicles. This decrease is likely caused by the retention of the mercury inside the cells where it most likely causes its major biological damage. These researchers found that with autistic children their birth hair mercury levels are exceptionally low, even if the mother had extensive amalgam fillings or mothers who had mercury laden vaccine injections during pregnancy. This is because ‘potential’ autistics are not excreting mercury; rather they are retaining it in their bodies where it causes damage. This study also noted that the mercury level in the birth hair decreases on average with increasing severity of autism. Other physicians have reported that autistic children have much higher heavy metal (mercury) body burdens than do normal children on a mercury challenge test.
The obvious logical conclusion is that the addition of multiple postnatal exposures to mercury in childhood vaccines would have more severe consequences in infants whose detoxification capacity is reduced or who may be closer to a dangerous threshold exposure. It must be noted that most autistic children are not born autistic. It is something that develops at varying ages but certainly in very early years of life. This most current research is indicating that certain children are just more sensitive to mercury because they have a reduced capacity to eliminate it. They are just more sensitive to the most toxic and deadly chemical compound known to man. Everyone knows that children and people in general show a wide range of reactions and sensitivities and this can explain why one child will die from the ‘routine’ vaccination schedule, why another will contract autism, another diabetes, another asthma, and others will show nothing but a little redness around the skin at the injection site.
One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 1 year of age, if they receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot. The people most responsible for this is the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) who recently published an interim report to physicians on thimerosal in vaccines. In the report, the AAP and Public Health Service agreed that the use of thimerosal-containing vaccines should be reduced or eliminated, stating that any potential risk was of concern. While this report discussed much of the uncertainty regarding the potential effect of mercury exposure in vaccines, it clearly stated that there was no evidence of harm having occurred from such exposure. How is it possible that such well-educated people can come to this conclusion and state it publicly when the toxic effects of toxic substance like mercury and formaldehyde are so well known?

Mercury: "Symptoms of exposure to this class of compounds includes aphthous, stomatitis, catarrhal gingivitis, nausea, liquid stools, pain, liver disorder, injury to the cardiovascular system and hematopoietic system, deafness and ataxia. Exposure may be fatal. Headache, paresthesia of the tongue, lips, fingers and toes, other non-specific dysfunctions, metallic taste, slight gastrointestinal disturbances, excessive flatus and diarrhea may occur. Acute poisoning may cause gastrointestinal irritation and renal failure. Early signs of severe poisoning include fine tremors of extended hands, loss of side vision, slight loss of coordination in the eyes, speech, writing and gait, inability to stand or carry out voluntary movements, occasional muscle atrophy and flexure contractures, generalized myoclonic movements, difficulty understanding ordinary speech, irritability and bad temper progressing to mania, stupor, coma, mental retardation in children, skin irritation, blisters and dermatitis. Other symptoms include chorea, athetosis, tremors, convulsions, pain and numbness in the extremities, nephritis, salivation, loosening of the teeth, blue line on the gums, anxiety, mental depression, insomnia, hallucinations and central nervous system effects. Exposure may also cause irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract."

In the late nineteen nineties a researcher named Dr. Thomas Verstraten worked at the CDC on a study of 76,659 children to determine if thimerosal might be causing neurological problems like autism. A February 2000 draft of Verstraeten's study, obtained by United Press International, appears to show that thimerosal might cause brain problems. That draft cited "increasing risks of neurological developmental disorders with increasing cumulative exposure to thimerosal. We can state that this analysis does not rule out that receipt of thimerosal-containing vaccine in children under 3 months of age may be related to an increased risk of neurologic developmental disorders," the study said.
To discuss the findings in Dr. Verstraeten's study, the CDC convened a meeting at the Simpsonwood Retreat Center in Norcross, Ga., on June 7-8, 2000. The agency invited vaccine experts and representatives of four vaccine manufacturers. After discussing that study, Dr. David Johnson, a Michigan state public health officer advising the CDC on vaccines, said that the findings were troubling, according to a transcript. "My gut feeling? It worries me enough," said Johnson. "I do not want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on." Later in the same conversation, CDC officials agreed to keep the study private. In October 2001, the Institute of Medicine panel that heard from Verstraeten found that it is "biologically plausible" that thimerosal causes autism, but that, "current scientific evidence neither proves nor disproves a link."
The latest research (as yet unpublished) under Professor Haley, Chairman of Chemistry at Kentucky University has revealed the startling fact that thimerosal is also light sensitive. Exposure for just 2_ minutes of daylight resulted in dissociation to ethyl mercury and a 5-fold increase in toxicity. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that mercury is toxic and even administered in homeopathic doses, in trace amounts, delivered directly into the blood, is dangerous to the point of being hideous. Yes it is cheap; it makes vaccines cheaper, but is that any excuse injecting newborn babies with it?
Vaccines are poison because they contain poison.
It’s that plain and simple.
It’s bad enough that we eat or drink poison, God forbid we get bitten by a poisonous snake or spider, but imagine injecting newborn babies with it. And in their dreams of dreams many health officials dream of injecting every last baby that is born. Their strong preference is that not one escapes the fate. Poison them all seems to be a part of modern day medical wisdom.
The advice from the World Health Organization is this, “The risk from side effects of thimerosal is theoretical, uncertain and, at most, extremely small. The best advice to parents is to continue having their children vaccinated.” They also say, “Parents should be told as much as they want to know and are able to understand. The issues are very complex and most parents do not want to know all the science.” So if you trust organizations like this go ahead and inject a little poison into your child.
Pediatricians are poisoning newborn babies around the world with mercury, foreign viruses and other chemical preservatives. Doing it blindly but in great faith to medical boards and public health officials, and in so doing are perpetuating the largest and most terrible terrorist program in history. It will be many years before most of them will realize this, enough years to make another killing fields international in scope. According to the World Health Organization “Most vaccines could be made thimerosal-free quite quickly, but they would not contain a preservative. It is not safe to use multi-dose vials of certain vaccines without some form of preservative. One solution would be to use single-dose vials, but this solution is very expensive and not always technically possible. If a new preservative were to be used, the product would have to be re-licensed, taking a long time. Equally if thimerosal was removed from a vaccine, it would have to be re-licensed as well.” So their recommendation is to continue to kill babies, continue the onslaught of poison, pump it into those precious beings, continue to effect havoc in families who have to deal with the incredible pain of autism and other learning disorders, allergies, asthma, diabetes and a host of other ‘milder’ toxic side effects. "We support the continued use of current vaccines that protect the lives of millions of children each year," says Dr Scholtz, WHO's Executive Director of Health Technology and Pharmaceuticals. So what if a few thousand die. There is no proof that mercury and aluminum and formaldehyde injected directly into the bodies of babies is dangerous or harmful. No proof that the most dangerous substances known to mankind are dangerous?
Belying the recommendations of WHO are the words of Dr Neal Halsey himself, who heads the Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety, which he was a founder of in 1997. ''My first reaction was simply disbelief, which was the reaction of almost everybody involved in vaccines,'' Halsey says. ''In most vaccine containers, thimerosal is listed as a mercury derivative, a hundredth of a percent. And what I believed, and what everybody else believed, was that it was truly a trace, a biologically insignificant amount. My honest belief is that if the labels had had the mercury content in micrograms, this would have been uncovered years ago. But the fact is, no one did the calculation. My first concern was that it would harm the credibility of the immunization program,'' he says. ''But gradually it came home to me that maybe there was some real risk to the children.'' Mercury was turning out to be like lead, which had been studied extensively in the homes of the Baltimore poor during Halsey's tenure at Hopkins. ''As they got more sophisticated at testing for lead, the safe level marched down and down, and they continued to find subtle neurological impairment,'' Halsey says. ''And that's almost exactly what happened with mercury.''
Any competent biochemist would look at the structure of thimerosal and identify it as a potent enzyme inhibitor. What is surprising is that the appropriate animal and laboratory testing was not done on the vaccines containing thimerosal (and aluminum) before the government embarked on a mandated vaccine program that exposed infants to the levels of thimerosal that occurred. Boyd E. Haley, PhD
Dr. Neal Halsey, whose life has been dedicated to promoting vaccination, completed a decade of service on the influential committees that decide which inoculations will be jabbed into the arms and thighs and buttocks of eight million American children each year. At the urging of Halsey and others, the number of vaccines mandated for children under 2 in the 90's soared to 20, from 8. Kids were healthier for it, according to him. Yet despite all he has said, and despite the fact that he led the effort to have mercury removed from vaccines for American distribution, he still sits on the fence when he says, ''I don't believe the evidence is convincing now that there has definitely been harm done by thimerosal.'' But to keep the vaccine program on a steady keel, Halsey says, the public-health authorities simply must follow through with the studies and face the consequences without flinching. If there is damage, he says, ''there should be some kind of compensation, though I don't know how.'' He pauses, and sighs. ''I empathize with families of children with these disorders. How are you going to put dollar values on that?''
Other components in vaccines that are not normally toxic inside the vaccine vial are the foreign proteins which are supposed to act as allergens, but there is a clear and present danger injected these proteins directly into the body bypassing the digestive system. In the absence of gastro-intestinal juices in the blood, these proteins can decompose (putrefy) yielding the extremely poisonous byproducts belonging to the group of ptomaines, creatins, xanthins, purines, indoles, skatols, phenols, leucomaines, uric acids, and indoxyl-sulphuric acids. The most acute reaction to this putrefying process may be anaphylactic shock, possibly leading to convulsions and even instantaneous death.
And what about the rest of the composition, the bulk liquid that makes up the primary content of vaccines? Mineral oils, seemingly totally safe by comparison to mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde, are common components of vaccines and one would not expect them to induce the production of pathogenic auto-antibodies and an inflammatory immune response when injected into children. Mineral oils are used as adjuvants in vaccines - substances that enhance the immunogenicity of an antigen. But even here there is trouble injecting such benign substances directly into biological systems. It has been know for some time that some mineral oils can induce autoimmunity in the form of arthritis, and when tested on mice they do indeed produce animal models for arthritis suggesting of course that these oils could be inducing autoimmunity in susceptible people.
Researchers at the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at the University of Florida have now examined the oils' effect in another autoimmune disease - systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fever, weakness, arthritis, skin rashes, pleurisy and kidney dysfunction. These researchers injected mice with the most common adjuvants used in human and veterinary vaccines, incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) and squalene, and tested to see whether SLE-specific antibodies were produced. They found that up to a quarter of the mice produced autoantibodies that are SLE-specific. So even the mineral oils used in the fabrication of vaccine fluids can be dangerous and the only way we can know the sum total effect of all these substances mixed up together and injected into children’s blood streams is to watch the reactions and complaints, deaths and deformities of health and spirit in the general population that are receiving these chemical formulas of doubtful design.
It is clear that the direct injection of complicated vaccine formulas into the blood can lead to many dangerous reactions that are not predictable and certainly not safe. The easiest legal and medical target though remains the mercury, and most of the lawsuits will attack the vaccine companies along that route. It is clear that the simple removal of mercury from the local markets in the United States will not guarantee the safety of vaccinations nor does it resolve the pharmaceutical industries liabilities nor the responsibilities of all the governments that have support them.
”It is hard to believe that after being so careful during my pregnancy that I was so easily persuaded to immunize my baby without knowingly educating myself to all that I should have. I should have found out about this nightmare with mercury and other toxic metals that are used to manufacture the vaccines. I didn’t. I trusted my pediatrician and the CDC who assured me of their absolute safety. I was persuaded to believe that I was doing the best thing I could do to protect my child. I was persuaded to inject my precious child and now she is autistic.”
Special Note: See the last chapter called Provoking our Anger for excerpts from the December 10th hearings between Dr. Karen Midthun, director of Office of Vaccine Research and Review at the FDA and Congressmen Dan Durton (R-IN) "Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: Reviewing the Federal Government's Track Record and Charting a Course for the Future" 12/10/2002 House Committee of Government Reform, Washington, D.C.
The Reality of Vaccine-Caused Autism and Death
Vaccinators as a rule are very reluctant to use the word caused when they talk about vaccine damage, they, interestingly, talk about reactions to vaccination.
After the MMR triple vaccine was shown to “cause” meningitis in 1 in 2026 recipients, not only did the Japanese health authorities recognize the “causal” link to this vaccine, they also discontinued its use. Yet typically health authorities in other countries absolutely refuse to look at research in published, refereed medical journals, and claim that there is only a temporal and coincidental association. In this case, for professionals who wants to look it up, Sugiura & Yamada (Pediatr Infect Dis J, 1991;Vol 10(3):209-13) describe not only the causal link but what happened when the Japanese authorities responded to the information in an appropriate fashion. The most important thing for vaccine advocates to note is that no epidemic followed the removal of the MMR. And more to the point, the incidence of vaccine-caused (and overall) meningitis plummeted. Many doctors believe that the eradication of measles, rubella, and mumps is in practice impossible anyway so they believe that the rational basis of MMR immunization strategy is invalid.
It is prudent medical practice that if a medical procedure is administered and symptoms occur afterwards, that procedure must be considered as the cause.
It is important that there is a precedent of a major country abandoning an offending vaccine and a recognition of the causal link between the aberrant vaccines and the observed reactions to it. It is incredible that medical “authorities” in the US, specifically in the CDC and the FDA continue to ignore (or not read) the research in published, refereed medical journals. In a globalized world this is entirely unacceptable and verges on criminal negligence. Public health officials have plugged up their ears and have abandoned their responsibilities and this is important to understand because the ability and willingness to respond is the key to all change. In the strictest sense the ability and willingness to respond is translated into responsibility. When we respond we are being responsible, when we ignore we are exposing our negligence.
If the medical authorities were put to trial in an objective international court, the verdict would be “Guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.”
Pharmaceutical corporations and individual executives have already been accused of genocide before the International Criminal Court in The Hague thanks to medical people like Dr. Rath. Companies including Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are now being accused of deliberately preventing life-saving natural alternatives to drug based treatments from being applied in prevention and cure. The next step will be taken when officials of the CDC and the FDA (who have close ties and deep financial interests to these above mentioned companies) are brought up on charges of infanticide for there is no avoiding the consequences and motives of avoiding responding to public information that has dramatic implications to the health and well-being of infants in the first years of their lives.
The incidence of childhood asthma, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases has doubled during the past 20 years; Attention Deficit Disorder has tripled, Autism has increased 600%. What part have vaccines played? Stanley Monteith, M.D.
The most direct consequence of people like Sugiura & Yamada being ignored is that children in the United States get 21 shots before starting the first grade - more than twice as many as a decade ago. That breaks down to 3 shots of hepatitis b, 5 of DTP, 3 Hib, 4 polio shots, 2 measles-mumps-rubella, 1 chicken pox and 3 oral rotavirus vaccines, yet there are doctors like Dr. Gerhard Buchwald who say, “Vaccination is not necessary, not useful, does not protect. There are twice as many casualties from vaccination as from AIDS.” Many parents are more afraid of the vaccines than they are of the vaccine-preventable diseases, but the vast majority of parents get the ‘baby shots’ their doctors recommend without question. The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a parents’ information group reports that as more and more vaccines are being put on the market more cases of vaccine injuries and deaths are being reported.
American society and economy will be strained to the breaking points in coming years by the overwhelming numbers of children of autism and other related neurological disorders.
In the time period running parallel with a sharp increase in vaccinations given, between 1987 and 1998, there has been a stunning 173% increase in the number of children diagnosed with autism in the US. According to a recent report by the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) entitled Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Changes in the California Caseload: 1999-2002, the rate of children diagnosed with full-syndrome autism between 1999 and 2002 nearly doubled from 10,360 to 20,377. The report further revealed, “Between Dec. 31, 1987, and Dec. 31, 2002, the population of persons with full-syndrome autism has increased by 634 percent.” That is a doubling of autism cases every four years, and the staggering increases are being reported in many states, not just in California.
As the number of childhood vaccines has increased 700%, from 3 in the‘70s to 22 in 2000, the prevalence of autism has also showed a parallel increase of 700%. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.
For example, in 1992 Ohio reported 22 cases. A decade later the number had increased by 13,895 percent to 3,057. In Illinois the rate of autism cases climbed from just five in 1992 to 3,802 - an increase of 76,040 percent. In Indiana, where vaccinations are now required against up to eight diseases before a child may start school, the number of autistic children registered in schools has grown from 116 in 1989 to 3,789 last year. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the vaccine schedule was amended to include both hepatitis B and Hib vaccines, each administered to infants three times during the first six months of life. Their addition to the vaccine schedule potentially tripled an infant’s exposure to mercury, should he receive all thimerosal-containing vaccines. A visit to the doctor during the 1990’s may have exposed some children to 125 times the limit on mercury set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Bono said her son Jackson began to change drastically within days of receiving a group of thimerosal-containing vaccinations. Bono says that on Aug. 14, 1990, four days after receiving the last of a group of shots, 16-month-old Jackson was becoming withdrawn. Within two weeks he stopped responding or acknowledging his parents. Two weeks after that Jackson no longer would make eye contact. It soon became difficult to get Jackson to eat or sleep. He has had bouts of spinning uncontrollably and seizures.
Before DPT shots were given in 1943, there were 11 cases of autism. Latest statistics estimate that over a half million American children are autistic, and with numbers steadily growing, there is no end in sight. Most of these children will require custodial care for life, at an average cost to society as much as three million dollars per child. The overall cost to society now is being estimated in excess of a trillion dollars. Signs of autism usually show up around age 2. Sometimes children who had previously appeared to interact normally will suddenly regress, become withdrawn and stop responding to their parents and the outside world. They may perform repetitive motions, like spinning or flapping their arms, have seizures, scream uncontrollably and resist physical touch. Bernard Rimland PhD, director of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego says, “It is ludicrous to claim that the link between many causes of autism and vaccination is just coincidental. As a full-time professional research scientist for 50 years, and as a researcher in the field of autism for 45 years, I have been shocked and chagrined by the medical establishment’s ongoing efforts to trivialize the solid and compelling evidence that faulty vaccination policies are the root cause of the epidemic. There are many consistent lines of evidence implicating vaccines, and no even marginally plausible alternative hypotheses.”
Measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and the whole panoply of childhood diseases are a far less serious threat than having a large fraction (say 10%) of a generation afflicted with learning disability and/or uncontrollable aggressive behavior because of an impassioned crusade for universal vaccination. There are plausible mechanisms such as molecular mimicry whereby vaccines could have such effects. Jane Orient, M.D.
Dr. Sidney Baker author of six medical books treats hundreds of autistic patients each year from around the country. He suspects that about half of the children he sees have been affected by Thimerosal from their vaccines. Thousands of parents report and demonstrate with home videos that their children were normal and responsive until suffering an adverse vaccine reaction but officials refuse to listen, refuse to care, and take nothing as scientific evidence that refutes their basic assumptions and the basic religion of medicine. And we have seen that even when reputable ‘scientific’ studies are made and find evidence about the damage vaccines are provoking, the authorities and the rank and file pediatricians poke holes in science and the value of basic research.
Lets face it, our children’s lives have been ruined. Have you ever lived with a family that has a child with Thimerosal-induced autism? It’s not pretty. Not only do many of these children have no lives but they live in a daily hell that many cannot even begin to imagine. They can’t sleep. They can’t communicate. They bang their heads and roll up in pain. Many have eating disorders or cannot tolerate most foods. And many are easy targets of sexual predators. Lori McIlwain
It is interesting to note historically that thimerosal was introduced only a few years before Leo Kanner, MD described a new mental disorder that differed “markedly and uniquely from anything reported” before. Fifty or so years ago autism was so rare that many pediatricians had never heard about it. But now society should be well aware of an autism epidemic that although once considered rare has now skyrocketed from one in 10,000 to one in 300 to as many as one in a 150 according in some reports. It does ‘seem’ like that it is mostly the vaccinated that are affected and that autism seems to almost always occur after vaccination and not before. Health authorities though are loath to make this connection.
Late onset autism, (starting in the 2nd year), was almost unheard of in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s; today such cases outnumber early onset cases 5 to 1, the increase paralleling the increase in required vaccines. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.
Byron Hyde, MD, chairman of the Ottawa-based Nightingale Research Foundation and an internationally recognized authority on myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome), has accumulated data on several hundred cases of serious immune and neurological dysfunction following hepatitis B vaccination. Hyde reported that that in the early 1990s, both the vaccine manufacturer and the Canadian health authorities repeatedly rebuffed his requests for an investigation into signs of demyelinating disease , measurable loss of IQ, loss of stamina, intractable pain, blindness, skin lesions, and other problems affecting health care workers following their hepatitis B vaccinations. Hyde observed that “almost all of these people who had adverse reactions after the first immunization, after the second immunization were individuals who had immunological side effects and who told their physicians, and the physicians did nothing about it but continued to proceed with immunization.”
In 1984 Time Magazine ran an article about the results of a mental health survey in America. It was found that rates of sociopathic personality and other mental illness are much higher in those born after the 40’s (when mass vaccination was instituted) than before the 40’s.
The CDC, FDA, the American Council on Immunization Practices (ACIP) have all taken the position the “epidemic” is attributable to improved diagnoses and a purely coincidental temporal connection between the vaccine schedule given to most American children, and the diagnosis of late onset autism and other learning disabilities such as ADD/ADHD. They did this despite the fact that Dr. Thomas Verstraten., an epidemiologist hired by CDC found a “statistically significant connection” between thimerosal and tics, verbal delays and ADHD/ADD and autism. In 1988, the Journal of the American Medical Association, called minimal brain damage “the single most prevalent disability reported by elementary schools...” The DPT and the MMR vaccines are thought to cause autism or forms of learning disabilities and other mental and emotional problems by interfering with normal myelination of the nerves in the brain, or demyelination of the nerves already coated.
In 1993 Vijendra Singh, PhD University of Illinois, published a study in which they found antibodies to myelin basic protein in 50 to 60% of autistic children tested. Recently at a public meeting Dr. Singh presented information on an unpublished, preliminary study of 27 autistic children in which he found nearly 50% correlation between MMR antibodies and antibodies to myelin basic protein in serum drawn from the children. Harold Buttram MD
Myelin is the tough, fatty insulation that coats the nerves and helps prevent misfiring of nerve impulses, or messages to the brain; such as those that take place during times of learning, growing, and developing motor skills. When babies are born only a small percentage of the nerves have myelin on them. This process is just beginning at birth and will continue throughout life, unless something happens to stop it, or causes demyelination of the nerves already coated. When this happens, responses to new situations, information or other stimuli, are not recorded in the brain as they should be. Information can be lost (poor memory or retention), mis-stored (causing confusion or misunderstanding of information), or not stored at all (slow learning, retardation, limited learning abilities). “The MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) vaccine was introduced in 1988. These are three live viruses one of which (measles) either in disease or vaccine form is known to depress one type of immunity called ‘cell mediated’ for a while. To give two other live viruses at the same time and bypass all the body’s natural defenses - skin and the lining of the gut and air passages - with a needle can only be described as risky,” said Dr Jayne Donegan.
Autism may be a disorder linked to the disruption of the G-alpha protein, affecting retinoid receptors in the brain. A study of sixty autistic children suggests that autism may be caused by inserting a G-alpha protein defect, the pertussis toxin found in the D.P.T. vaccine, into genetically at-risk children. Mary N. Megson, M.D.
Vaccines contain poisons and they are being injected into babies around the world with increasing frequency. Some children are at greater biological risk than others for reacting to vaccines and the foreign substances they contain; and though it is fact that the majority ‘survives’ the experience, even after repeated injections, this does not change the fact that mercury and other chemical compounds used in vaccines are harmful to human physiology even in minute amounts. The fact is that sometimes vaccinations are lethal injections that do kill infants. Each year more and more reports are coming to light indicating that vaccines in general are involved with increases in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), developmental disorders such as autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other degenerative disease such
