4. Immunization Programs Under Scrutiny
Poisonous Vaccines Against Harmless Infections
For many decades, leading scientists and doctors have vehemently promoted the idea that
immunization of children is necessary to protect them from contracting such diseases as diphtheria, polio,
cholera, typhoid, or malaria. Yet evidence is mounting that immunization may not only be unnecessary
but even harmful. Pouring deadly chemicals into a lake doesn’t make it immune to pollutants. Likewise,
injecting the live poisons contained in vaccines into the bloodstream of children hardly gives future
generations a chance to lead truly healthy lives. American children often receive some 30 vaccinations
within the first 6 years of their lives and children in the U.K. can expect to be vaccinated about 25 times.
Within the first 15 months of life, vaccinations including nine or more different antigens are pumped into
the immature immune systems of babies. Despite the colossal efforts and large sums of money spent on
vaccine research, medicine has never been able to devise a cholera vaccine that works and the drugs for
malaria aren’t as effective as a single herb. Diphtheria is still combated with toxic immunization programs
even though it has almost completely disappeared from the earth. When diphtheria broke out in Chicago
in 1969, 11 of the 16 victims were either already immune or had been immunized against diphtheria. In
another report, 14 out of 23 victims were completely immune. This shows that vaccination makes no
difference when it comes to protection against diphtheria; on the contrary, it can even increase the chance
of being infected.
Immunization against mumps is also highly dubious. Even though it initially reduces the likelihood of
becoming infected, the risk for mumps infection increases after immunity subsides. In 1995 a study
conducted by the U.K.’s Public Health Laboratory Service and published in the Lancet showed that
children given the measles/mumps/rubella shot were three times more likely to suffer from convulsions
than those children who didn’t receive it. The study also found that the MMR vaccine increased by five
times the number of children suffering a rare blood disorder.
It is interesting to note that the mortality rate from measles declined by 95 percent before the measles
vaccine was introduced. In the United Kingdom, despite widespread vaccination among toddlers, cases of
measles recently increased by nearly 25 percent. The United States has been suffering from a steadily
increasing epidemic of measles, although (or because) the measles vaccine has been in effect since 1957.
After a few sudden drops and rises, the cases of measles are now suddenly dropping again. The Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) acknowledged that this could be related to an overall decrease in the
occurrence of measles in the Western Hemisphere.
In addition to this evidence, many studies show that the measles vaccine isn’t effective. For example,
as reported in a 1987 New England Journal of Medicine article, a 1986 outbreak of measles in Corpus
Christi, Texas found 99 percent of the victims had been vaccinated. In 1987, 60 percent of the cases of
measles occurred in children who had been properly vaccinated at the appropriate age. One year later, this
figure rose to 80 percent.
Apart from not protecting against measles and possibly even increasing the risk of contracting the
disease, the MMR vaccine has been proven to produce numerous adverse effects. Among them are
encephalitis, brain complications, convulsions, retardation of mental and physical growth, high fever,
pneumonia, meningitis, aseptic meningitis, mumps, atypical measles, blood disorders such as
thrombocytopenia, fatal shock, arthritis, SSPE, one-sided paralysis, and death. According to a study
published in the Lancet in 1985, if children develop “mild measles” as a result of receiving the vaccine,
the accompanying underdeveloped rash may be responsible for causing degenerative diseases such as
cancer later in life.
