Slideshow Detailing Vaccine Ingredients

I recently viewed  this slideshow on Dr. Mercola's website (link posted below). It is a little crude looking, but extremely informative. Every parent should watch this before vaccinating their child. Please share this with your family and friends, especially if they are planning or expecting a child.

Pertussis Vaccine: Please Read


Are you expecting a child soon? Below is a video from Dr. Mercola's website. It tells a real story, about real people. Please watch the video. Please read the artilce here. If you're expecting, the parent in this video could soon be you.






Red Alert: The Vaccine Responsible for Half the Awards for Injury and Death

Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 02 2011

 

Story at-a-glance

  • In the United States, over half of the 2,480 compensation awards made made under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which total more than $2 billion dollars, have involved brain inflammation and encephalopathy resulting in permanent brain damage associated with whole cell and acelullar pertussis vaccine in DPT and DtaP shots.
  • Previous research from Guinnea-Bissau demonstrated that a single dose of pertussis vaccine in DTP shots doubled the mortality rate in infants and more than quadrupled the mortality rate after the second and third DTP doses.
  • A recent Danish study suggests many infant girls in Africa die after vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine and that aluminum-derived adjuvants in the vaccine may play an important role. (Past studies have shown that pertussis toxin and endotoxin in whole cell pertussis vaccine are involved in the development of brain inflammation, shock and encephalopathy but the role of the aluminum adjuvant has been less clear).
  • Mercury (thimerosal) preservatives and aluminum adjuvants are two additives commonly used in inactivated vaccines, including DPT vaccine. Although U.S. pertussis containing shots (DtaP/Tdap) no longer include mercury, they still contain aluminum. Mercury is used as a preservative and aluminum advjuvants are used to boost immune responses in an attempt to reduce the need for booster shots. However, both mercury and aluminum are known neurotoxins and can cause serious side effects when injected into the body.

Vaccine for acne

Sanofi Pasteur Acquires Exclusive, Worldwide License for Acne Vaccine


The above link will take you to Sanofi Pasteur's press-release detailing their vaccine for acne. This vaccine is in the pre-clinical stage at the University of California, San Diego. This news was released about three days ago, on September 21, 2011, and seeing it leaves me with a  few questions...




Is acne a disease?


In the beginning of their article, Sanofi Pasteur states,
"Acne vulgaris (acne) is one of the most common skin diseases worldwide and affects more than 50 million people in the United States alone..."
However, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), on their PubMed website, for the US National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states this (emphasis in bold is mine):
 "The fact that acne, which is almost universal and not a true infection, is (1) initiated at puberty by the action of pubertal hormones on likely distinct, pro-acne follices, and (2) typically resolves in one's early twenties when prefrontal cortex development is complete, suggests that the condition's timeframe is meaningful."
Some medical affiliations consider acne a disease, and some consider it a hormonal condition or a disorder. Regardless how it's classified, for most people acne is typically only a problem in the teenage years. Very rarely does it persist into adulthood. Although acne is not pleasant, it is not a life-threatening condition. It does not require hospital stays. As a matter of fact, in most cases, changing the way you take care of your skin resolves the problem.




Do we really need a vaccine for acne?

Since acne isn't life threatening, doesn't require hospital stays and doesn't cause missed days of work or school, do we really need a vaccine for it? Without a doubt, there will be some people who will jump all over a chance at getting a vaccine for acne. But who will these people be? What ingredients will the vaccine contain, and what kinds of risks will they pose to a young person who's desire not to get acne will outweigh their desire to consider vaccine safety?




Who will get the vaccine?


There is no way for us to know who will have an issue with acne and who will not. We generally don't know we have a problem with acne until it happens. Since acne problems usually present in the early teen years, and theoretically an acne vaccine would need to be given before it is a problem, obviously it will be young people who are targeted to get the vaccine. So that leaves the window open for, let's say, the ages of birth to about twelve years.


Speaking from a business standpoint, if you are Sanofi Pasteur, your customer base for the vaccine will dwindle as the people in the available market get older. Children, as they get older, do not come in for regular check-ups as often, reducing a doctor's access to them. Vaccine manufacturers know this. They know that to get their vaccine into the most children, it has to be done when they are very young while parents are still bringing them in for their well-visits.


The hepatitis B vaccine given at birth is an excellent example of this. There are literally zero newborns who are sexually active and/or intravenous drug users, which is how you acquire Hep B. So unless the mother is infected, and all mothers are tested when they become pregnant, the baby is not at immediate risk for the disease. So why are ALL babies immunized with the HepB vaccine? Convenience. Because they can. Because doctors have access to them. Because if they don't do it when they're babies, and the babies grow up, they may never decide to get the HepB vaccine and at that point they become customers who have been lost. There is not a business on the planet who wants to lose customers, and those in the business of making vaccines are no different.


So, the only way to ensure a large customer base would be to put an acne vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule with the rest of the vaccines. It is my belief that Gardasil will be there too someday, for girls and boys. Here are some quotes for the Sanofi article dated September 21, 2011:
"According to Sanofi Pasteur’s estimates, the annual worldwide market for acne therapeutics is in excess of US $3 billion."
In Glaxo Smith Kline's annual report for 2010, it shows that their Hepatitis vaccinations produced worldwide revenues of 700 million British pounds, which is equivalent to approximately $1.1 billion US dollars. The only way Sanofi will make anywhere close to the $3 billion quoted on an acne vaccine, will be to put it on the childhood immunization schedule.
"Moderate to severe acne occurs in 14 percent of five to 17-year olds and this group is more likely to seek treatment and currently faces an unmet medical need."
Do you know any five year old with an acne problem? This definitely gives us a clue of the age group Sanofi will target with this vaccine. Since according to Sanofi, five year olds apparently have acne problems, I'm certain they will want this vaccine on the childhood schedule.
"Acne is considered a chronic disease for a limited life-time period and, although often a simple and self-limited condition, it can result in psychological, physical and social implications"
Here Sanofi Pasteur admits that acne is only a problem for a 'limited life-time period' and that it is a 'simple and self-limited' condition. What they don't mention is that not everyone gets acne and that not everyone who does get it, has it to the same degree. Some people get one pimple here or there, some people only break out when they are nervous, and so on. However they are going to target five year olds for the vaccine to save them from the 'phychological, physical and social implications' that acne can cause. Really?


Maybe, with a vaccine, someday we will all be physically and socially perfect.

Video - Watch as mercury damages brain cells

Thimerasol is a mercury-containing ingredient which was used in some vaccines until about ten years ago. When questions started arising about the safety of mercury in vaccines, especially ones injected into small children, vaccine manufacturers agreed to take the thimerasol out of the shots, even though they denied the mercury was a danger.


Vaccine manufacturers maintained that the amount of mercury in vaccines was so small that it was impossible for it to be a danger to anyone. In this video from University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, it is stated that inhaled mercury causes problems. Vaccines are injected, not inhaled (with the exception of some flu vaccines). This video goes on to show what happens to brain cells in a petree dish when they inject small amounts of mercury into the fluid in the dish. The brain cells, which at first are growing, go into a degenerative state.


In the video they talk about the mercury burden on the body. Mercury causes a burden when it accumulates in the human body from dental fillings and the food we eat, in addition to other sources. It also causes degeneration in brain cells when injected into the surrounding fluid in a petree dish. But according to vaccine manufacturers, and a large part of the scientific community, mercury can't cause damage when injected by way of vaccines, repeatedly into a small child. What is wrong with this picture? Why does anyone, whose brain is NOT in a degenerative state, accept this?



I know what you're thinking right now.


Mercury has been taken out of most vaccines, so it doesn't matter. But it does. How can you trust an industry which says mercury is safe, when it clearly is not. Even after the mercury has been taken out of the vaccines, how can you believe anything they tell you about vaccine safety?

Here is the link for the original video at University of Calgary.

Below is the same exact video which can be found on YouTube.

What You Need to Know about HPV Vaccines

If you are a female, have a daughter, or just want more information on the Gardasil vaccine, this is an excellent read. The post below is from SANEvax.  It is an excellent website with a ton of information regarding HPV and it's vaccines. Please share it with those you care about.


The Five Things You REALLY Need to Know about HPV Vaccines

Monday, September 19, 2011
By Tony Isaacs, Contributing Author

After the political tempest about Gardasil and mandatory HPV vaccinations which began at the GOP Tea Party debate, CNN posted an article on September 14th titled “The five things you need to know about the HPV debate”. The article could scarcely have been more pro-HPV vaccination than if Gardasil manufacturer Merck had ghost written it (a practice Merck is known for).

The article contended that the HPV vaccine controversy was mostly political and that HPV vaccines were safe. It also noted that we have been vaccinating children for many years. Besides missing the obvious difference between vaccinating against diseases spread by social contact in schools versus sexual contact in later years, the article’s contention that HPV vaccines are safe is a complete whitewash of the truth.

For those who prefer the truth over mainstream propaganda, here are five things you really need to know about HPV vaccines:

1. Merck needed a new cash cow to replace the billions in profits lost due to its evil drug Vioxx finally being pulled from the market after it caused upwards of 50,000 deaths. Gardasil became the new cash cow heir apparent. Contrary to mainstream misinformation, Gardasil has not been proven to be safe in either the short or the long term. Instead, Merck has once again used deception to portray it as safe and ignored evidence of harm, the same as they did with Vioxx when they hid evidence of harm, rigged studies, and paid scientists and doctors to put their name on articles and papers supporting Vioxx..

In the initial safety tests where Gardasil was compared against a placebo, instead of using a truly benign placebo such as saline solution Merck used a placebo which was identical to the Gardasil vaccine minus only the HPV virus components.
In addition to sodium chloride and water, the placebo also contained aluminum, polysorbate 80 and sodium borate.

Aluminum is a dangerous toxic metal. Even small amounts are deposited in the brain and it has been linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease as well as memory loss and speech problems which mimic those diseases. It has also been linked to a wide variety of other health problems.


Side effects and severe allergic reactions listed for aluminum include rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, nausea, slow reflexes, and vomiting.

According to the Polysorbate 80 Material Safety Data Sheet, it may be carcinogenic as well as mutagenic. When injected into prepubescent rats, polysorbate 80 caused abnormal growth of reproductive organs and made the rats sterile. When used intravenously with vitamins it has been known to cause anaphylactic shock.

Sodium borate is widely known for its use as a roach pesticide. The U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have declared sodium borate to be a dangerous poison. Listed side effects include: vomiting, collapse, coma, convulsions, low blood pressure and twitching of facial muscles, arms, hands, legs, and feet.

Many of the side effects for aluminum, polysorbate 80 and sodium borate coincide with those of the Gardasil victims who have been injured and killed by the vaccine. Thus it comes as no surprise that the side effects for the Gardasil vaccine in Merck’s trials were no greater than those of the toxic placebo they selected.

An analysis of the actual trial data for Gardasil reveals that a shocking 73.3 percent of the participants who received Gardasil acquired a new medical condition ranging from flu-like symptoms to paralysis. Almost 60% had systemic reactions. Though the “placebo” recipients had similar results, obviously no mere saline solution would have produced even a fraction of such reactions. The results would likely have been even higher if the study had lasted longer than 15 days.

2. Studies have actually shown that Gardasil and its sister vaccine Cervarix (from GlaxoSmithKline) provide no protection for women already exposed to the HPV virus and in fact present highly elevated risks for already exposed women as well as for expectant mothers.
The more sexually active a woman is, the greater the chances she will become exposed to HPV viruses. Likewise, the older a woman is the more sexual encounters she will likely have had and thus the greater the risk of HPV exposure. Information provided for the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) in May 2006 revealed that when the vaccine is administered to a woman with a dormant or harmless form of HPV, the virus can become activated, increasing the likelihood of precancerous lesions developing by a staggering 44.6 percent.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has reported 45 cases of spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, following vaccination with Gardasil. At the time the vaccine was approved, five babies had been born with congenital birth defects after their mothers had been immunized with Gardasil, as opposed to a placebo group that had zero. Later reports put the number of birth defects in the vaccinated group closer to 40.

3. Just this month it was announced that Gardasil has been discovered to be contaminated with a substance many government health and safety agencies classify as a bio-hazard. After months of research, SANE Vax Inc. has discovered a substance many government health and safety agencies classify as a bio-hazard. SANE Vax Inc. contracted with an independent lab to test for contamination and found HPV recombinant DNA (rDNA) in 100% of the samples tested. The 13 Gardasil vials, with different lot numbers were from New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Poland, France, and three states in the U.S. All contaminating recombinant HPV DNA was firmly attached to the aluminum adjuvant in the vaccine.

4. The lack of dangers in the prescribing information furnished to doctors by Merck and the VAERS requirement that only serious and life-threatening events be reported both likely play big roles in the under-reporting of Gardasil reactions. Doctors are reluctant to report deaths and injuries from anything they administered or performed in the first place, and the lack of information and guidelines have insured that they are far less likely to report anywhere near all the adverse reactions from Gardasil.

Other factors which help skew the picture of Gardasil dangers include:

*The rate of deaths and adverse reactions are reported as a percentage of doses distributed, not doses actually administered.

*Gardasil is given in a series of three injections. Thus the number of adverse reactions per number of patients is triple the adverse events per injection.

Even with under-reporting, Gardasil causes 400% more deaths than other common vaccines. The true magnitude of Gardasil’s harm and dangers could be horrendous. Reports for other vaccine deaths and adverse reactions are estimated to represent no more than 10% of the actual totals. With Gardasil, estimates range as low as only 1%.

If 10% are reporting, there could be as many as 690 deaths and over 190,000 adverse events from HPV vaccines in theU.S.and its territories alone. If only 1% of deaths and adverse events have been reported, the numbers could be 6, 900 deaths and over 1,900,000 adverse events.

5. Behind Gardasil’s huge trail of deception is a very large and mostly hidden trail of tears. If anyone doubts that Gardasil is causing deaths, permanent injuries and devastation of mothers, fathers and other family members they should check out the SANEVAX vaccine safety site created by mothers of daughters killed and injured by HPV vaccines (www.sanevax.org). There, they will find story after story illustrating the harm HPV vaccines can cause.

Here are just two examples:
What is Wrong with the Gardasil Girls? Amy’s Story
“The journey of a Gardasil victim’s mother from trusting vaccines to vaccine activist”
Parents and the general public richly deserve to be told the full truth to keep that trail from leading to an ever larger ocean of suffering.

Article from Dr. Mercola on Gardasil

September 16, 2011

A Parent's Horrid Nightmare: Coming Soon to YOUR State?

Posted By Dr. Mercola
The state of California has just passed bill AB499, which will permit minor children as young as 12 years old to be vaccinated with sexually transmitted disease vaccines like Gardasil without parental knowledge or parental consent. This means that if you  live in California, school or medical personnel would be allowed to vaccinate your child against an STD without your ever knowing it.
At issue, of course, is whether 12-year-olds are mature enough to fully analyze the benefits versus risks of vaccination (or any medical treatment for that matter), or recognize the alternatives to STD prevention, such as abstinence. Meanwhile, a child could suffer a vaccine reaction and the parent, not knowing the child had been vaccinated, could mistake it for the flu or another condition, delaying getting help until it is too late.
But, perhaps the greatest issue of all is whether this law violates your basic right to be involved in important decisions regarding your child's health.

How Can Parental Consent be Completely Ignored?

As Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has stated, informed consent is a human right.
"The right to voluntary, informed consent to a medical intervention, including use of a pharmaceutical product such as a vaccine that can injure or kill you or your child, is a human right. While the State may have the legal authority to mandate use of vaccines, nobody has the moral authority to FORCE you to get vaccinated or vaccinate your child without your voluntary, informed consent," she says.
We as parents, who know and love our children better than anyone else, we, by U.S. law and a larger moral imperative, are the guardians of our children until they are old enough to make life and death decisions for themselves. We are responsible for their welfare and we are the ones who bear the grief and the burden when they are injured or die from any cause.
We are their voice and by all that is right in this great country and in the moral universe, we should be allowed to make a rational, informed, voluntary decision about which diseases and which vaccines we are willing to risk their lives for -- without fearing retribution from physicians employed by the state."
Not only does AB499 remove a parent's right to give their informed consent, but parents will not even have the right to be informed if their child is vaccinated. As Age of Autism recently reported, this could be disastrous for the child's well-being for a number of reasons:
  • “A child will most likely not know his or her family history of allergies, autoimmune diseases, or adverse reactions to other vaccines or medications, all of which are essential to consider before the administration of any vaccine.
  • A child is not capable of weighing the risks and benefits of vaccination, and under this bill, a parent will not be present to ask the appropriate questions to elicit this important risk/benefit information.
  • A child can be easily swayed by a person of authority, his or her peers, and by misinformation
  • ... Who will determine if the child falls within the category of those who should not be vaccinated on the label (especially in the absence of the child's medical records and the child's parent)?”
Informed consent is especially important when it comes to vaccination, because there is no way for you or your physician to predict if your child will be one of the children who has a devastating vaccine reaction, such as brain inflammation, immune dysregulation, or even death.

AB499 More About Profits than Health

Pharmaceutical and medical lobbyists were heavily involved in pushing AB499 through the state legislature. After all, by stripping parents of their right to make informed decisions about medical procedures that could harm their children, they have tapped a new market for their Gardasil vaccine. And, at a cost of $108 per dose to the government, Merck, the vaccine's manufacturer, stands to profit handsomely.
Meanwhile, California taxpayers will likely foot the bill for the multi-millions of dollars this law will cost to implement. Parents are NOT responsible for the costs (how could they be if they're not even informed that a vaccine was given?), so the bulk will come from the government (i.e. the taxpayers). As Fisher states:
"This proposed law would cost the cash-strapped state of California multi-millions of dollars to implement. Most of that money will go to Merck and other vaccine corporations to pay for multiple doses of each vaccine that will be aggressively promoted to young children, who are not yet physically, mentally or emotionally mature enough to make fully informed decisions about risk-taking, including whether or not to take a medical risk."
Further, has anyone considered who will be held responsible if a child is permanently injured or killed from receiving a vaccination without their parents' consent? Neither physicians nor drug companies have any legal liability, so the parents will ultimately be the ones who will have to carry the financial burden if their child suffers damage from the vaccine.

If You Live in California, Talk to Your Child About Gardasil Risks!

You have the legal right to know the risks and complications of vaccines BEFORE you make the choice of whether or not to allow your child to be vaccinated. If you live in California, this right may soon be taken away, unless you ACT NOW to stop the Governor from signing it into law. Still, it would be prudent to discuss this issue with your child now, before they are given the opportunity to receive this vaccine, so they will be able to make an educated decision when and if the time comes.
In the four short years since Gardasil came on the market, there have been more than 21,000 reported incidents of adverse effects and death, despite the fact that only two out of every 10 women in the approved age group have gotten the vaccine so far.
Add to this the fact that an estimated 90 to 99 percent of all adverse effects are never reported, and the abnormally large risks of the HPV vaccine compared to other vaccines should give most people reason to pause. Further, you and your child should know that:
  • Gardasil is NOT a cancer vaccine. It is simply a vaccine for two strains of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that in some instances can lead to cancer in some women (Gardasil's other two HPV strains are for genital warts, which don't cause cancer). There is absolutely no proof and no clinical trials that show Gardasil protects against cancer in the long-term.
  • Since there are at least 15 HPV strains that can lead to cancer, Gardasil-vaccinated girls can still get cervical cancer from the other 13 HPV strains not contained in the vaccine.
  • The vaccine doesn't work if you've already been infected with the HPV strains in the vaccine.
In the United States, infection with HPV is very common, and it is estimated that about 20 million Americans have an HPV infection at any given time. In fact, HPV is so common that most sexually active people will get it at some time in their lives.
The important thing to know about HPV is that in almost all cases, it clears up on its own without any adverse health effects within two years in most healthy people. So not only is the HPV vaccine one of the most unnecessary vaccines on the market, it is also the most dangerous! If AB499 is not vetoed, it's important, if you live in California, to arm your children with these facts in advance.

Urgent Action Alert for ALL Parents

If California parents can be stripped of their legal right to make informed medical decisions for their minor children, so too can parents in any state. I encourage you to get involved with the work that NVIC is doing to protect your right to choose which vaccines you want your children to get, including the legal right to use all, some, or no vaccines at all.
Register for the free NVIC Advocacy Portal that educates you about how to communicate effectively with your elected state representatives and protect vaccine exemptions in your state. Stay informed about what is happening in your state and make your voice heard.
Go to www.NVICAdvocacy.org and register today to take action.
For those of you who live in California, it is imperative that you take part in NVIC's urgent action alert. If Governor Brown does not veto AB499, vaccine exemptions for sexually transmitted disease vaccines become NULL and VOID in California. Please take just 5 minutes to help support this cause by:
The more people who get involved, the better chance there is that California will get the message that parents will not lie down while their parental rights are removed. Together we can make a difference and keep this legislation from standing, and influencing the right to informed consent in the rest of the United States as well.
Our entire country needs to come together and send the state government of California the strong message: Keep your hands off our kids!
