As we’re all aware, a bitter debate has been raging in the media on the
dangers of not complying with the “recommended” vaccination schedule.
Measles outbreaks are blamed on the unvaccinated, who are being vilified
in both mainstream and social media. This despite fully vaccinated
people also diagnosed with the disease and able to transmit it. Never before has this issue been as polarized or toxic. Friendships
are disintegrating, and non-vaccinating families are treated like
pariahs, their children barred from previously friendly playgroups - the
rationale being, “your unvaccinated child is a threat to our fully
vaccinated children”. The shrill cry for mandatory vaccination is
blaring across North America and vaccine exemptions are under threat in Canada and
in the U.S. Age of Autism media editor, Anne Dachel, writes with alarm, “The last
several weeks of news coverage of a measles outbreak that was blamed on
someone who wasn’t vaccinated has been unbelievable. Hysterical
mainstream news reports everywhere have called for banning unvaccinated
children from school, jailing parents, revoking the medical licenses of
doctors who don’t vaccinate, along with calls for a federal law
overriding all state laws allowing personal and religious exemptions….. I
was quite concerned about the article from TIME Magazine on Feb 11,
2015. The writer, Joe Matthew, called for the outing of parents who
don’t vaccinate in the piece, Unvaccinated Families’ Addresses Should Be
Made Public”. What is driving this frenzy against anyone who questions vaccine safety
and efficacy? I suggest it’s an orchestrated campaign by the medical
industry to suppress and alter the factual history of infectious
diseases like measles, and related issues of vaccine safety and
efficacy. For decades parents have witnessed their children’s
development regression following MMR and other vaccines only to be told
it’s a “coincidence”. As more information emerges about the suppression
and alteration of data by both the pharmaceutical industry and its
regulators, the backlash against those working to expose the truth is
increasing. Important facts about measles and its vaccines have been suppressed.
First, mortality rates had plummeted to almost nil prior to the
widespread use of measles vaccines. Second, prior to the mass use of
measles vaccines, the general population enjoyed the benefit of long
lasting true “herd immunity" from having had measles in childhood.
Infants born to naturally immune mothers were well protected in the
first year of life. The vast majority of children who got measles,
sailed through it while gaining the tremendous health benefit of
lifelong immunity along with the ability to protect their offspring.
These cross generational benefits insured a strong immune foundation for
the whole population. All this has now been dismantled by mass
vaccination. It has become increasingly clear during this last round of measles
mania, that medical revisionism is at the root of this orchestrated
hysteria. By this I mean the deliberate alteration of historical and
epidemiological facts in order to drive a specific agenda. The agenda is
about denying vaccine risks and failure and suppressing the fact that
vaccine derived immunity wanes over time, leaving swaths of people
susceptible to measles. It is about demonizing the disease in order to
erase society’s memory of the long term natural “herd immunity”,
previously enjoyed by the vast majority of people, and now decimated by
mass vaccination. The agenda is very much about negating the risks and injuries caused by
the MMR vaccine and other vaccine combinations such as MMR injected at
the same time as Varicella (chickenpox vaccine) along with 13 valent
pneumococcal vaccine. A large Ontario study found that 1 in 168 children end up in ER after MMR vaccination. As
many as 4 children may have died during the 3 year study period. Details
weren’t disclosed and the deaths were discounted as irrelevant. By
comparison, Stats Canada records show there were 6 measles deaths in the
19 year period between 1990 and 2009. Extrapolating from these numbers,
we can posit that during an equivalent 19 year period, as many as 24
children may have died following MMR vaccine in just one province. Last year, a senior CDC scientist blew the whistle on his involvement
in the manipulation and cover-up of a vaccine-autism study which found
that African-American boys receiving their first MMR vaccine before 36
months are 3.4 times more likely to develop autism vs. after 36 months.
One analyst calculated that this one lie is “responsible for at least 250,000
cases of autism in African-American male children. And that number is a
vast underestimate of the true extent of the damage.” The agenda is about forcing more and more vaccines onto the public,
while at the same time threatening the removal of personal and religious
exemptions. The overarching goal seems to be flat out medical tyranny.
A 2013 report of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
states that nearly 300 vaccines are under development. 137 of these are
to combat infectious diseases. How many of these would be mandated
against one’s will? By creating a continuous tension of fear of infectious disease(s) the
public is kept in lockstep with the agenda. It is the public health
agencies themselves who have dismantled the long lasting immunity from
measles previously enjoyed by the majority of people. Decades of
outbreaks of measles in highly vaccinated populations proved long ago
that vaccine derived immunity is fragile and unreliable.
Immunology has
barely scratched the surface of understanding how the immune system works. Just this one fact underscores the absurdity of assuming vaccine
safety and efficacy. Vaccine resisters are exposing these facts and are
thus the prime targets of the medical industry’s vicious PR spin leveled at
anyone who questions vaccines or disagrees with the agenda. The panic that grips health officials when measles breaks out isn’t
surprising given that they know there is an unquantifiable segment of
the fully vaccinated population who are no longer immune and are
susceptible to the disease. The ones at highest risk are the adults and
infants. Prior to the widespread use of measles vaccines, the majority
of doctors acknowledged that measles is a, “self-limiting infection of short duration, moderate severity, and low fatality”. The demonizing of measles when it breaks out again, and the fear
generated by the medical industry through its controlled media, is in
direct contradiction to the experience and memory of the vast majority
of people who got measles, recovered uneventfully, and gained the
benefit of lifelong immunity. Lawrence Solomon’s " The Untold Story of Measles" is an excellent synopsis of the history. Today, it is the large segment of middle age people and seniors born in
1966 or earlier who comprise the “herd” of truly immune people in the
population, most of whom would have had measles in childhood. According
to Stats Canada, in 2011, 57.2% of the population was born prior to
1966. To a large extent, it is this large group of people with naturally
acquired immunity, who are protecting the public from large scale measles outbreaks. Naturally acquired immunity is a precious health resource that develops
over many generations. The scuttling of this highly protective natural
immunity and its replacement with temporary vaccine immunity is a tragic
loss both to contemporary society and to future generations. When the
present naturally immune adult population dies off, and is replaced by a
majority with temporary vaccine immunity, it is predicted that there
will be a greater proportion of susceptibles than in the pre-vaccine era
which will result in large epidemics across all age groups. Four decades on
into this vast medical experiment, we are just beginning to understand
the consequences. The irrational fear of diseases that pose little threat, coupled with
the fervent belief that the “holy waters” of vaccination are infallible,
gets stirred up when measles comes knocking in the neighbourhood. Rather than direct anger at the medical experimenters who have
destroyed the broad natural immune base of the population, fear and
loathing is instead unleashed against those sounding the alarm about the
runaway freight train of immune manipulation. Strict Media Blackout Reliable sources report that across North America, there’s a strict
media blackout prohibiting the voices of vaccine skeptics to be heard.
Even when published medical studies relating to vaccine contamination, or vaccine failure in highly
vaccinated populations are brought forward, the information is ignored
or discredited if presented by any group or persons deemed a vaccine
skeptic.
If you have any doubt about the media blackout on balanced reporting on
the question of vaccine safety and efficacy, or the plight of the
vaccine injured, you have only to read the Globe & Mail’s public
editor, Sylva Stead’s Feb 18th editorial. Ms. Stead prides herself on
G&M’s “forceful opinion in favour of vaccines”.
Despite the newspaper’s Code of Ethics for fair and balanced reporting,
here we see anyone who questions vaccines quickly branded as
anti-vaxxers, therefore not credible, lumped into the same category as “flat earthers” and therefore not to be listened to or reported on. If
the G&M were to include someone “credible” from the anti-vaxxer
community, that would be “false balance”. False balance is a label
slapped on any issue that is deemed a “manufactured controversy” or
attempt to create a controversy where non exists such as “perceived
controversy over the safety and effectiveness of vaccines” and climate
science.
So according to this editor there are no experts, doctors, researchers
or scientists anywhere at all who question the safety and efficacy of
vaccines, only movie stars. And none of the parents of vaccine damaged
children have “fact-based evidence”. Nor do any of the organizations who
support such parents and attempt to assist the public in making
informed choices on various vaccines have any “scientific evidence”.
Journalists are advised to follow the guidelines in a “toolkit” published by the Voices for Vaccines where they are coached on how to guard against falling prey to
“false balance”. The “toolkit” informs journalists that publishing an
alternate opinion on the vaccine issue is “false balance” journalism.
Voices for Vaccines is a program of the The Task Force for Global Health whose mission is to “reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable
diseases”, among other things. The Task Force is the 3rd largest charity
in the US, according to Forbes, with ties to the CDC, Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, Emory University, Merck and all the other big
pharma companies. An indepth analysis of Voices for Vaccines can be
found here.
As a graphic example of how true balanced journalism is shut down when
it dares report on the vaccine issue one has to look no further than
what recently happened at the Toronto Star. The TO Star was fiercely
criticized for its reporting on the suffering and plight of young women injured by HPV vaccine. Instead of an outpouring of concern and compassion for them, or a
follow up investigation into the fast tracked licensing of this highly
reactive vaccine, the Star was attacked for its investigative reporting,
forced to retract the article and brought to its knees groveling apologetically to its medical industry masters. The U.S adverse events reporting system (VAERS) has received thousands
of reports of reactions and injuries following HPV vaccination, including sudden
collapse with unconsciousness following vaccination with HPV vaccines,
seizures; muscle pain and weakness; disabling fatigue; Guillain Barre
Syndrome (GBS); facial paralysis; brain inflammation; rheumatoid
arthritis; lupus; blood clots; optic neuritis; multiple sclerosis;
strokes; heart and other serious health problems, including death. SaneVax, a leading watchdog group in the U.S.,reports that as of January 2015, there have been
38,217 adverse reactions to HPV vaccines reported to the U.S. Vaccine
Adverse Events Reporting System also known as VAERS. This includes
5,360 serious reactions, 3,948 hospitalizations, 680 life threatening
events, 7,624 did not recover and 220 deaths. Now you might wonder why we’re talking about human papilloma virus (HPV)
vaccine when the big topic is measles? The answer is, “follow the
money”. Both MMR vaccine, the only measles containing vaccine on the
market in North America and Gardasil the leading HPV vaccine, are made
by Merck & Co. Merck stands accused of falsifying efficacy data of the mumps portion of MMR vaccine. The vaccine’s ineffectiveness has been associated with large outbreaks of mumps in fully vaccinated
people. The pharma giant is currently in damage control. Two lawsuits have been filed against the company
for allegedly falsifying efficacy documents in order to keep
competitors from bringing their own versions of the vaccine to market. A corporate controlled press and strict ban prohibiting voices with a
cautionary view about vaccines means that the public is prevented from
learning of the risks associated with the toxicity of common vaccine
ingredients such as aluminum adjuvants, or the ability of polysorbate 80 to cross the blood brain barrier or concerns that fetal cell line contamination in vaccines is
associated not only with “ autistic disorder throughout the world, but also with epidemic childhood leukemia and lymphomas." Conveniently
ignored is the emerging science linking vaccines to autoimmune disorders. Across North America, families are fighting to preserve their right
to voluntary and informed consent when considering drugs delivered by
injection that cannot be removed from the body should something go wrong
- drugs that carry a risk of injury and death. Vaccines are drugs by
any definition. They are comprised of complex biochemical substances,
many of which are genetically engineered to manipulate the human immune
system in ways never before encountered in nature. There are no tests to
pre-determine which child might be genetically vulnerable to severe
injury when injected with as many as 8 or 9 vaccines at one time. Families who have witnessed first hand the devastating effects of
vaccine injuries to their loved ones, having spent countless hours,
days and years of researching the medical and scientific literature validating the reality of health injuries following vaccination. They are in a
unique position to make an educated choice about what is best for their
children. Making an informed
decision to NOT continue vaccinating their injured children nor
subsequent children, is theirs alone to make.They are no longer willing to participate in the mass hallucination of vaccine protectionism.
The right to make a
voluntary and informed decision about medical risk taking and all
aspects of our children’s healthcare is an inalienable human right that
must be protected from government policy makers unduly influenced by the
medical industry. All children deserve to enjoy the basic human right
of normal brain development and a strong and healthy immune system with
which to reach their full potential. All families have the right to
strive for this goal. Edda West, President, Vaccine Choice Canada
