Vaccine exemptions for school is in the news again. This time KPVI from Pocatello and KTVB citing a propaganda “study” that shows that 8 counties in Idaho has HOT SPOTS for “disease outbreaks”. The news article states “A recent study published in the Public Library of Science says Idaho has eight out of the 10 counties with the highest exemption rates in the country. It continues by showing the severity of the exemption rates using statistics such as “22% of Bonner county children” have non-medical vaccine exemptions.
PAUSE THE PANIC FOR A MOMENT! The real numbers show that is 54 children of the county population of 54,500, didn’t receive both the CDC recommended shots of the MMR vaccine prior to kindergarten.
The media is intentionally manipulating with fear-mongering over 271 kindergartners in schools that serve 32,000 students, in counties with a total population of more than 250,000 people. Boise Doctors express ‘fear’ over exemptions representing 0.2% of the states 1.7 million people.
A Listen to what this Meridian Doctor and Board Member of the Idaho Immunization Coalition Lisa Barker had to say,
“I think we are going to have to see some sort of more significant outbreak to improve those laws,” says Dr. Lisa Barker of Boise. KPVI says, She thinks this sort of outbreak could happen at any time.”That’s the scary thing. I’m just waiting for it to happen because we have big enough pockets that if the right person walks in, it’ll be a big rapid spread.”
Wow! “Big enough pockets!” Take a look at the chart below showing the percentages of children with non-medical exemptions compared to the total populations of the county. A doctor should know better than anyone that these healthy children pose no health threat!
“KTVB says: Idaho had some of the highest rates. In some small, rural counties nearly 20 percent of kindergartners didn’t get their shots.” That really equates to TWO kindergartners in the least populated county in Idaho.
The Forgetten Factor in Herd Immunity?
The media is just gobbling up this “study” and spitting it out in hopes to generate fear and persuade the public to reduce health freedoms and parental rights in the area of vaccine choice. This study they cite was authored by a vaccine industry insider (Dr. Peter Hotez) who is a patent holder of vaccines. It fails a really simple test: it never contemplates the vaccination status of any ADULTS in these hot spots, despite the fact that they represent 76% of the population, are known by the CDC and the Idaho Health Department to have low vaccination rates, and the fact that vaccines wane over time, in other words they have no immunity from their childhood vaccines. Why is the media so credulous to these industry-sponsored scare pieces?
Fear mongering a set up for vaccine mandates?
First create the problem, then present the solution. That is how marketing works right?
First, they used the tracking of your child’s vaccine record to ‘create’ a threat. Their solution has already been declared – reduce vaccine exemptions and create vaccine mandates. Those who profit from their liability-free vaccines want mandates just as they have in California. Imagine the $$ signs dancing in front of their eyes – their product forced on every school child without any loss from damages or injury. In 2014 the global vaccine market was worth over 32 billion dollars and was expected to reach over 59 billion by the year 2020.(Those damages are paid from the taxes added to each vaccine.)
Were you aware that drug companies donated millions to California lawmakers before vaccine debate and the Disneyland Outbreak of 2015?
Did you know that the vaccination status of California before mandated school vaccines was 97.46%?
They are testing the waters to see the response. Now is the time to educate those around you.

Informed consent means that the patient has complete information on the risks verses benefits of any treatment. Vaccines are given to a healthy person with the intent to protect them from illness. They are not required to undergo the same rigorous study protocols as medication as they are labeled ‘blood biologic’. Dr Rosie Main, of Main Health Solutions and Ashley Everly, toxicologist share information to help educate the public on vaccines. Sadly much of this information is NOT shared by doctors, nurses or pharmacists prior to administration of ‘immunizations’. You alone are responsible for your family’s health. You will carry the burden should an adverse reaction happen, neither doctors nor the vaccines makers are financially or physically responsible.

Breaking News expect outbreaks of the flu this season. The CDC has brought back the (LIVE VIRUS) FluMist nasal spray. It was initially pulled due to poor “efficacy” boasting a 3% protection rating, which can more than likely be blamed on viral shedding from said vaccine. Most package inserts of live viral vaccines (MMR, chickenpox, shingles, flumist, rabies) state shedding can last for 2-5 weeks post vaccination. And if remembered correctly, last year it was noted by a study performed by PNAS, paid for by the CDC, that even those vaccinated with IM/injectable flu vaccinations had an increased shedding rate 6.3x more than those who do not receive a flu vaccination. Also, per Science Daily, it should also be noted that children who receive the flu vaccine have 3x the risk of hospitalization for Flu.
Why on earth would you want to spray live virus into your nostrils. Think about it! They stopped giving it because it wasn’t working! Now suddenly it’s going to work? I guess it will work at spreading the Flu…
Late last year Health Impact Newsreported on a study published by The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, documenting how influenza viruses cultured in eggs mutate, making the flu vaccines virtually worthless.
Seasonal influenza vaccine does not always confer protection in vaccinated individuals. Vaccine candidates are selected from clinical isolates based on their antigenic properties.
It is common to use chicken eggs for culturing clinical isolates and for large-scale production of vaccines. However, influenza virus often mutates to adapt to being grown in chicken eggs, which can influence antigenicity and hence vaccine effectiveness.
Is the U.S. Mass Flu Vaccination Program Actually Causing More Severe Influenza Outbreaks?
Over the past few years, several studies have pointed to the fact that repeated flu vaccinations year after year actually reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine, raising serious questions about yearly mass flu vaccination programs.
The most recent was a study out of Australia where researchers showed that those who had multiple flu vaccines actually produced fewer antibodies than those who did not get the flu shot regularly.
Most people probably do not realize that the measure of success for a vaccine is not whether you stay healthy or get sick, but simply if your body develops the appropriate antibodies thought to be required to fight off the disease being vaccinated against.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny explains this very well in the following video:
This was not the first study to show that repeated flu shots every year decrease one’s resistance to influenza viruses.
Dr. Edward Belongia of the Wisconsin’s Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation reported the same thing back in 2015, and a study in 2013 showed that getting the flu shot two years in a row lowered protection.
We have frequently published an interview with Dr. Mark Geier explaining how little science there is behind the flu vaccine.
Dr. Geier is NOT anti-vaccine. He is an M.D. and has a Ph.D. in genetics. He spent 10 years working at the National Institute of Health, and was a professor at Johns Hopkins University as a geneticist. He is also the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications.
He worked on vaccine safety and efficacy for more than 30 years. He was one of four scientists that worked to replace the DTP vaccine, a vaccine that caused every child to become sick with a high fever at the time of vaccination, with the DTaP vaccine, which is a more purified vaccine.
Dr. Geier explains that the CDC does not follow the law for vaccines in requiring long-term safety testing for the influenza vaccine like they do with other vaccines, as it is impossible to test a vaccine that changes every year.
So the flu vaccine is basically an experimental vaccine that they want to give out to 300 million people every year. There are also no studies showing the safety of giving the flu vaccine to the same person every single year.
However, Dr. Geier points out that the CDC is in the business of distributing ‘flu vaccines, because they represent 300 million doses per year, whereas all the childhood vaccines together only number 20 million.
Dr. Geier explains that flu is “the wrong thing to vaccinate against” because you have to keep re-vaccinating against it every year, unlike childhood infectious diseases, such as smallpox, that are only vaccinated for once.
Something to think about and consider when (not if) flu epidemics begin to rise in our country this year. Who is really responsible for the “outbreaks?”
Shedding: Vaccine Insert 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Shedding Studies Shedding of vaccine viruses within 28 days of vaccination with FluMist was evaluated in (1) multi-center study MI-CP129 which enrolled healthy individuals 6 through 59 months of age (N = 200); and (2) multi- center study FM026 which enrolled healthy individuals 5 through 49 years of age (N = 344). In each study, nasal secretions were obtained daily for the first 7 days and every other day through either Day 25 and on Day 28 or through Day 28. In study MI-CP129, individuals with a positive shedding sample at Day 25 or Day 28 were to have additional shedding samples collected every 7 days until culture negative on 2 consecutive samples. Results of these studies are presented in Table 5.
This is an article from 1963, where a pediatrician teaches mothers how to relieve the boredom of her child who is sick with measles. The doctor says that everyone gets the measles, which is a good thing, because it improves the immune system. That was before the medical establishment convinced everyone that measles was the deadliest disease since the dawn of mankind.
Vaccines Saved Us From The Measles Or Not.
Prior to the vaccine, 3-4 million cases of measles occurred in the United States each year. <—True.
Also true, however, is that of those 3-4 million cases, only about 450 people died each year from it in the years before the vaccine.
That still seems like a lot? Instead of running out to make sure your vaccinations are up to date, how about a shot of perspective instead?
The percentage of people who died from measles of all of the measles cases back then. 0.015%. Suddenly, measles seems a little less scary doesn’t it? The CDC claims that around 1 or 2 out of a thousand people who get measles will die from measles. Their math doesn’t add up though. I guess they use the term “about” lightly.
Also, consider that in 1963, the population was 189,241,798. That means that prior to the vaccine, the percentage of the entire US population that died from measles was .000237%. (Remember this figure, because it will be important in about two paragraphs.)
Now, if you read the little excerpt above, you might be scared, because even with vaccines, the global death count for children from measles is 197,000 in the stats above! That’s a scare tactic and it makes me mad. First of all, it wasn’t 197,000 children. It was 197,000 people and some of them were children.
Then the excerpt above goes on to talk about present day figures. There are over 6 billion people on the planet. That’s shown as 6,000,000,000 numerically. Correct me if you disagree, but when over 150,000 people die each day total, is 540 people dying of measles each day really that outrageous? They’re counting on us not comprehending the vast population of our global society. 240,000 children in low income countries alone die each year of neonatal infection. 1.26 million people die each year from diabetes and yet they’re still pushing the high fructose corn syrup in school lunches.
With vaccines, the US went from a .000237 PERCENT death rate among the general population from measles in 1963 to a 0.000000% measles death rate. It’s a different story around the world though (as the WHO points out to scare the crap out of you.) Currently, around 197,000 people die each year from measles… out of 6 billion. Want to know percent that equals? The calculator showed: 3.28e-5.
***pencil scratches on paper, moving the decimal point to the left five places because of the -e***
0.0000328.
***calculator clicking***
Which brings the percentage of people who die globally from measles today to:
0.00328%. (Remember when I told you to remember that figure above?)
0.000237% < 0.00328%
So, comparing the two figures, as a country, we Americans did better in 1963 at not dying from measles than the general population of the world is doing RIGHT NOW.
Not to mention, measles was already declining prior to the vaccination. The US graphs you can find indicate a huge visual decline, but the way the numbers are set up in the vertical axis is misleading. Check out how the axis representing the difference between 0 and 1 is represented by the same space as the difference between 2 and 20? I highlighted it in yellow for you. Another vaccine awareness group added the dotted red line, but I think that the vertical axis manipulation is even more crucial. So, visually, it looks like a huge decline after the vaccine was introduced:
Unfortunately, finding the specific numbers per year has proved challenging for me, but thankfully, I found a similar graph (similar numbers, but unofficial source) that has not included an exponentially growing vertical axis so that you can see the trend in declining measles rates prior to and including after the vaccine introduction more accurately:
See that tiny blip right around 1967? That’s when vaccines “drastically” reduced measles deaths.
SO, WHAT IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO VACCINATE AND YOUR CHILD GETS MEASLES?
Well, as early as 1932, doctors began using cod-liver oil (high in vitamin A) to treat measles and ended up lowering the mortality rate significantly. In 1990, the New England Journal of Medicine confirmed that vitamin A supplements significantly reduce measles complications and death rates. It would be interesting to know what kind of impact essential oils such as oil of oregano with antiviral qualities or better yet, homeopathy, would have had on measles as well. At the very least though, you don’t have to stress as much, 0.015%mortality rate among measles infected people is just not very scary.
This new HEP B vaccine was approved for use on pregnant women. It includes an entirely new synthetic DNA adjuvant that will trigger a part of the immune system science discovered in the past decade. There was limited study information, so instead post-marketing data gathered to determine if there are any issues. The US Vaccine Advisory Panel called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), is the group that approves vaccines for public use in the United States. Most members have connections to the pharmaceutical (aka vaccine) industry. Vaccines are approved for use and included in CDC recommendations by this organization. An adjuvant is a substance added to produce a high antibody response using the smallest amount of virus (antigen) possible. By definition adjuvants are considered to be “pharmacologically active drugs.” They are designed to be “inert without inherent activity or toxicity” and yet they are required to “potently augment effects of the other compounds” in the vaccines. [8] It is difficult to explain how a substance can be defined as pharmacologically active and at the same time be described as inert and have no activity or toxicity. With this newly approved vaccine with a brand new adjuvant, the initial study 19 people had heart issues – 16 DIED! The panel approved 100% to use on the general public. Safety of the product will be measured with post-marketing data. What exactly does that mean? Uninformed mothers will be the experiment, any negative outcomes will be recorded to determine if the safety of the vaccine. No one will be liable or accountable for the negative outcomes that include harm, injury or death.
Those who believe that science is settled and thoroughly studied – is this your definition of science?
Vaccines provide temporary protection from certain acute illnesses. Acute illness, is by definition, self-limiting. They are short term. Chronic illness goes on and on and on. Since nature has given us acute illnesses, there is a reason that we get them. For children, it is pretty clear that they need to exercise their immune system. Studies have been done which reveal that when parents keep the house too clean, kids don’t develop a strong enough immune system to fight off the bad boys when they come around.[1] In fact, some believe that it is a source of autoimmune disorders, asthma, and allergies, because the body doesn’t know what needs to be fought off and what doesn’t.
Vaccines are given to healthy children in order to protect them from getting sick. The vaccine-preventable diseases, while wide spread, rarely caused complications. The same can’t be said for the chronic diseases that have replaced the acute illnesses.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States, three diseases — tuberculosis, pneumonia, and diarrhoeal disease — caused 30% of deaths.5)By the end of the twentieth century, in most of the developed world, mortality from infectious diseases had been replaced by mortality from chronic illnesses such asheart disease,cancerand stroke.6)
More than 90% of American child receive 36 doses of childhood vaccines as recommended by the CDC.
Have we traded acute illness for chronic disease?
2018 CDC reports that Half of all Americans live with at least one chronic disease, like heart disease, cancer, stroke, or diabetes. These and other chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in America, and they are also a leading driver of health care costs.
By 2025, chronic diseases will affect an estimated 164 million Americans – nearly half (49%) of the population [5]
Autism rates in schoolchildren jumped 15% between 2012 and 2014, continuing a two-decade rise. Theprevalenceofautismspectrum disorder (ASD) among 11 surveillance sites as one in 59 among children aged 8 years in 2014 (or 1.7 percent). … Therateis one in 38 among boys (or 2.7 percent) and one in 152 among girls (or 0.7 percent).
“Fully vaccinated children may be trading the prevention of certain acute illnesses (chicken pox, pertussis, measles) for more chronic illnesses and neuro-developmental disorders like ADHD and Autism.”
2018 Measles “Outbreak” 107 cases in 21 states according to the media. CDC reports this is just a typical year and not a multi-state outbreak since these figures are spread across 8 months in a variety of states.
Measles is a self limiting disease that lasts 7 to 10 days and provides lifelong immunity. As of March 31, 2018, there have been more than 89,355 reports of measles vaccine reactions, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following measles vaccinations made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), including 445 related deaths, 6,196 hospitalizations, and 1,657 related disabilities. Over 60% of those adverse events occurred in children three years old and under.
When asked by media their response to the alleged outbreak Indiana for Medical Freedom responded with this press release:
CDC states that the majority of cases were in non-vaccinated individuals, but the CDC report does not include the evidence to support that statement. It is unknown if these individuals were partially vaccinated, if the strains that were imported from other countries are even included in the vaccine we offer here in the United States, etc.
We question the severity of each of the cases. If mild, a vaccine was not needed since these individuals acquired safe, natural, lifelong immunity. In those who were fully-vaccinated, their vaccine failed them which has nothing to do with vaccine choice and everything to do with vaccine efficacy.
There is also a head scientist at CDC blowing the whistle on falsified safety reports during the 2004 MMR Autism study. His name is Dr. William Thompson, he has protected whistleblower status, and he is still employed by CDC now.
All 100,000 documents turned over by Dr. Thompson can be requested by contacting the office of Congressman Posey. https://posey.house.gov/contact/
In addition, there are 13 CDC whistleblowers, calling themselves CDC SPIDER, who claim CDC can no longer be trusted to act in the best interest of public health. From their letter, “These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.”
For the 5th year in a row, members of various health freedom organizations (along with concerned citizens from other states and even other countries) will rally outside CDC headquarters in Atlanta on October 10, 2018 to demand truth and transparency. All are welcome to join.
Finally, just last month, HHS admitted (through a lawsuit over a FOIA request) that they have neglected to file a single vaccine safety report in 32 years, as required of them by Congress in 1986 when liability immunity was granted to all vaccine manufacturers. http://icandecide.org/government/ICAN-HHS-Stipulated-Order-July-2018.pdf
Since CDC is not transparent with measles case outcomes in the US, we cannot compare the risk of death or permanent injury from a measles infection with the risk of death or permanent injury from the MMR/MMRV vaccines. Parents would like to know this information so they can make a true risk/benefit analysis. All we can find is 1 US measles-related death since 2003…
As of March 31, 2018, there have been more than 89,355 reports of measles vaccine reactions, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following measles vaccinations made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), including 445 related deaths, 6,196 hospitalizations, and 1,657 related disabilities. Over 60% of those adverse events occurred in children three years old and under.
Nothing in medicine is one-size-fits-all and every parent and individual is doing what is safest for their own family. Indiana For Medical Freedom respects the right for each family to weigh their own risks and benefits and to make their own choices for every medical procedure, including vaccination.
Until CDC can be transparent and offer evidence to support the statements they make, this statement (in its entirety) will be our only comment.
A scientifically dishonest report co-authored by Dr. Hotez declare certain communities in the United States “hot spots” which means, according to the study authors, those communities are “vulnerable” to having a horrible outbreak at any moment. Many of these declared ‘hotspots’ are centered in Idaho. This is fake news in the name of scientific study.
“Our findings indicate that new foci of antivaccine activities are being established in major metropolitan areas, rendering select cities vulnerable for vaccination-preventable diseases. As noted by the recent experience in Anaheim, California, low vaccination rates resulted in a measles outbreak. In contrast, state closure of NMEs has resulted in an increase of MMR coverage.”
Let’s get into the details, it’s easiest to just number them, so here’s 6 different ways this “study” is garbage that should be retracted:
1. Despite representations to the contrary, this study solely considers a single vaccine—MMR.
American children, if they are vaccinated to the CDC’s schedule, actually received ELEVEN separate vaccines. Dr. Hotez’s study only considers one of those vaccines—MMR—yet on T.V. he constantly makes it sound like he’s discussing all vaccines. It’s not a flaw of the actual study (like numbers 2-6), it’s a flaw of how Dr. Hotez has misrepresented the study in public.
2. “Non-medical exemptions” is a flawed and inaccurate way to look at vaccination rates.
Dr. Hotez uses reported “non-medical exemptions” in different states, counties, and cities, to be a proxy for a child who is “unvaccinated,” but that’s hardly true. Idaho ‘requires’ 32 doses of 6 vaccines prior to kindergarten registration. 99% of parents utilizing the PBE for their children are selectively vaccinating. The most commonly exempted vaccine? The chickenpox vaccine, which was introduced with the intention of saving time from work rather than protecting a child from a dangerous childhood disease. Parents opting to exempt their child from one or more vaccine have along with their doctor’s recommendations responsibly vaccinated based on the individual needs of each child because one size does not fit all.
A child missing even 1 shot would fall under the category of “unvaccinated.”
KINDERGARTNERS in Idaho Receive 32 doses of these vaccines prior to school. *Their parents received 3 – 5 vaccines prior to kindergarten. Doses have DOUBLED since 2000.
**click the vaccine name to be linked to the manufacturer vaccine insert.
3. Public health officials know exactly why vaccine exemptions are on the rise, and it has nothing to do with the “anti-vaccine movement.” The entire premise of Dr. Hotez’s paper is that the “anti-vaccine movement” has caused vaccine exemptions to rise, even stating, “A social movement of public health vaccine opposition has been growing in the United States in recent years.”
But, public health officials know better. The reason vaccine exemptions have risen is very simple: they rise when you add more vaccines to the required schedule.
Take a look at this chart, this time from Oregon. Note that this is a chart produced by Oregon Health Authority and the words at the top of the chart are written by them:
“When other vaccines have been added as school immunization requirements, non-medical exemption rates have increased for all vaccines.”
The reasons for this are obvious. More vaccines means more complexity. Some parents just can’t get all the doses done on time for the start of school, so they file an exemption. More doses and new vaccines also make parents wary. There are likely to be more exemptions for the brand new Hepatitis A vaccine rather than the decades-old polio vaccine.
As Oregon added vaccination requirements time and again to the school schedule between 2000 and 2015, they watched exemptions rise in kind, just as they expected.
Dr. Hotez’s study NEVER acknowledges this well-known fact and simply blames the rise in exemptions on a social movement, without any facts to support his contention. It’s profoundly dishonest.
4. Counties with tiny populations were exploited to create headline grabbing numbers.
Dr. Hotez’s paper wasn’t really written as a serious scientific paper, it was written to give news reporters scary-sounding statistics. Let’s use an example from an article published by NBC News where the reporter, Maggie Fox, focused on a single county in Idaho. She told her readers:
“More than a quarter of kindergartners in Camas County, Idaho, lack at least some vaccinations because their parents have opted for nonmedical exemptions, researchers said Tuesday.”
What Ms. Fox failed to mention, because reporters never look at the details, is the county she based here article on has 1,102 residents and only 7 kindergartners in the entire county! How many children are counted in that 25% number?
In fact, Idaho really got picked on, largely because they have so many counties with populations that are tiny, making their statistics stand out, despite their insignificance. Idaho had eight of the Top 10 counties in Dr. Hotez’s study for exemption rates. But populations in these counties are so low, we’re talking about 320 combined children!
5. Counties with larger populations were not exploited using percentages, but rather any county with more than 400 NMEs (non-medical exemptions)—a completely arbitrary figure—was simply declared a “hot spot.”
To put some of Dr, Hotez’s numbers in perspective, let’s take a look at the “heat map” he provided of “vulnerable counties” in the United States. All you needed to do to make this list was have 400 or more non-medical exemptions amongst kindergarteners in your county, population size had no bearing on Dr. Hotez declaring your county a “Hot Spot”:
Now, every one of these counties ended up having a news story run about the “hot spots” data and some scary declaration of how that county was “at risk.” In all of these larger counties, Dr. Hotez never mentioned the total population, which is where his analysis really breaks down, just look at this analysis:
This table shows every county Dr. Hotez fingered in his “heat map” where he arbitrarily designated any county as “at risk” if had more than 400 NMEs (non-medical exemptions) among kindergartners. This table takes the populations of each county and puts these numbers in context.
For example, in Oakland County, Michigan, having 686 kindergartners with a non-medical exemption out of a total population of 1.2 million people means roughly 1/10th of 1% of the county has a non-medical exemption. And this is a county Dr. Hotez is trying to say should be in some sort of state of emergency!
6. A central theme of Dr. Hotez’s paper is that higher NME rates and infectious disease are correlated, but there’s no data that supports this, and the term “hot spots” has no scientific basis whatsoever!
In the press, Dr. Hotez repeatedly refers to areas with high exemption rates as “hot spots.” In the actual paper, Dr. Hotez uses the term “vulnerable communities.” But, neither of these terms has a scientific basis. There is no data anywhere that shows exemption rates and disease outbreak are correlated, and Dr. Hotez never provides it. In a sense, the entire point of his paper—that these communities are more “at risk”—is simply never supported in any way, because the data to make the correlation he’s trying to make doesn’t exist! Said differently, his paper and its conclusions are unsupported by science.
OK, we just looked at six ways that Dr. Hotez’s paper is completely deceptive. Taking a huge step back, Dr. Hotez has created an imaginary world where we should all be scared to death that a disease outbreak is around the next corner. He’s a classic fear-monger, likely getting daily thanks from the vaccine makers who support his entire existence. The best thing that could happen to this paper would be for PLOS Medicine to be forced to retract the entire paper.
The only way that will happen is if people with scientific backgrounds challenge the paper in thoughtful letters written directly to the journal (and Dr. Hotez will be asked to respond), which is why I’m going to ramp things up and share with you every page of the actual study, and the notes to go along with it.
I hope that this level of detail, and the realization that this entire paper is a hoax, will encourage some of you to take action. Note that one of the counties named by Dr. Hotez already did take action, and he had to “retract” his conclusions for that county.
Ok, so let’s look at the actual study, page by page, with a number of additional observations about the hoax for the discerning reader:
Finally, A vaccine-industry insider has created an imaginary world where the next outbreak is imminent if we don’t do something and—Gasp!—his idea dovetails perfectly with the aim of vaccine makers: remove all vaccine exemptions from parents and make vaccination mandatory for school attendance.
In trying to create this imaginary world, however, Dr. Hotez has exposed himself to the scrutiny he deserves for a sloppy, scientifically unsound hoax of a paper, and we hope people in positions of influence will start making noise to get the paper retracted.
Every mom and dad, grandparent are people of influence to those around them. Research for yourself and share the truth of why parents opt-out of some or all vaccines.
The chicken pox vaccine, also known as the varicella vaccine, was added to the childhood vaccination schedule for babies aged 12 to 15 months in 1995. In light of waning vaccine effectiveness, it was later recommended that kids aged four to six also get a second booster shot. There might be fewer cases of chicken pox now, but what we’re seeing a lot more of is a related and more serious problem, herpes zoster, or shingles. Of course they are now promoting the shingles vaccine for adults which has been shown to be less than 50% effective. Fortunately, studies show you can support your immune system without the vaccine.
Are vaccines actually weaken our ability to prevent disease?
When you get chicken pox, the virus will remain latent in your body. If it’s reactivated later in life, it can reappear as shingles. Before the vaccine was introduced, most adults were able to avoid getting shingles because their exposure in their communities to natural chicken pox regularly boosted their cell-mediated immunity to it.
In other words, exposure to chicken pox in adults helped protect them from getting shingles.
Science warns us about the dangers of the chickenpox vaccine
In fact, the authors of a 2002 study warned that mass chicken pox vaccination would spur a serious shingles epidemic that would strike more than half of those who were between the ages of 10 and 44 at the time it was introduced.
Researchers in Belgium recently published findings that showed when children within a population were vaccinated at about one year of age for chickenpox, there was double the incidence of shingles among adults aged 31 to 40. The reason? Those adults likely had chickenpox as children. Being re-exposed to the illness later in life by being around children with the disease would have given a boost to immunity that helps to guard against shingles virus. But with far fewer children contracting chickenpox because of the vaccine, that effect would disappear, and adults would be at much higher risk of shingles.
Now, research published in the Annals of Clinical Pathology claims that the CDC and the Los Angeles Department of Health Services actually colluded to bury research showing a link between its Universal Varicella Vaccination Program and the national rise in shingles cases.
Author Gary S. Goldman is a former research analyst for the Los Angeles Department of Health, and he monitored the introduction of the chicken pox vaccine. He says that by 2000, he was hearing a lot of anecdotal accounts from school nurses about an inexplicable rise in shingles cases among students. He found that the vaccine was not only accelerating the recurrence of shingles among children who had naturally gotten chicken pox, but it was also boosting the chances of adults getting shingles.
Goldman says the CDC stopped him from making his data public. He listed 23 actions they took to try to downplay his findings, including attributing them to incorrect subgroups, statistically disguising them, manipulating their own data, printing selective studies, and pressuring the editors of journals into delaying the publication of his work. He recounts how they masked the upsetting trend by averaging the vaccine’s effectiveness over several years instead of listing it year by year, and he says they also tried to discredit him.
Chicken pox vaccine driving demand for the shingles vaccine
Not surprisingly, the CDC’s answer to the rise in shingles is to recommend the shingles vaccine. As Goldman points out, this move sees people shelling out $200 a dose for protection that they would have gotten for free from childhood chicken pox. Moreover, it’s not terribly effective, with one study on adults over the age of 50 showing the vaccine is only 50 percent effective during the first year, and it has “no effect” five years after vaccination. That’s too bad, because shingles causes a very painful rash that oozes fluid and can take up to four weeks to heal.
While chickenpox is certainly uncomfortable and not an experience most of us would like to repeat, it’s actually pretty mild when you look back on it. Few people would say the same about shingles. There is growing evidence that immunity to the virus – brought about by the vaccine – can be short-lived. This leaves adults vulnerable to contracting the disease later in life, when complications can be much more serious, even deadly, after missing out on its milder symptoms in childhood.
Protecting Yourself from Shingles WITHOUT a Vaccine
Please skip the vaccine!
Treat with B-12, Lysine and Vitamin C under the care of a natural practioner
Why not just prevent shingles with B-12 (which also is an excellent treatment for them once you get them) and lysine (which also can be used to treat them).
“I had shingles once…and badly: Zoster ophthalmicus affects the eyes and can even cost you your vision. I was working on a ship (enclosed, recirculated air environment), and had had some poor dental work in port. From that I got the flu, had to stay up late treating patients, and that led to shingles. I was one miserable guy, but I had the nurse give me B-12 shots every day for 3 days and that was the end of it (though my vision was foggy for a week before clearing).” –https://hsionline.com/2011/11/10/home-to-roost/
Bumping the ratio
When I asked Dr. Spreen about preventing shingles with vitamin B-12, he suggested that 500 mcg per day would probably be a good insurance policy because B-12 protects the nerves. Supplementing with lysine (an essential amino acid) is a little more complicated.
Dr. Spreen: “With lysine you have to be more careful, as you’re playing with something called the lysine/arginine ratio. Lysine competes with arginine in the body, and arginine is a stimulant of growth hormone, so you don’t want to drive that down unless you have a real reason. And an arginine supplement isn’t a solution because you’re trying to alter the ratio to make it less favorable to the virus.
“That said, if you GET shingles, then 3 grams (3,000 mg) of lysine daily can do a lot (a LOT) to shorten the duration and lessen the pain/itch right off). Given that a person has developed shingles (or, rather, gets them fairly often), at that point I’d go on 500 mg of lysine daily (between meals) as insurance after kicking the previous outbreak. But I wouldn’t take lysine just because I had chicken pox as a kid.”
In supplement form, high doses of lysine may increase gallstone risk and raise cholesterol levels, so lysine supplementation should be monitored by a nutritionally oriented physician.
Treatment of Shingles with Vitamin C
The clinical response of shingles to vitamin C therapy is decidedly different from its response to traditional therapies. While there are not many reports in the literature on vitamin C and shingles, the studies that do exist are striking. Frederick Klenner, MD, who pioneered the effective use of vitamin C in a wide variety of infections and toxin exposures, published the results of his vitamin C therapy on eight patients with shingles. He gave 2,000 to 3,000 mg of vitamin C by injection every 12 hours, supplemented by 1,000 mg in fruit juice by mouth every two hours. In seven of the eight patients treated in this manner, complete pain relief was reported within two hours of the first vitamin C injection. All patients received a total of five to seven vitamin C injections. Having had shingles myself years before I knew of the efficacy of vitamin C therapy, I can assert that this is nothing short of a stunning result on what is usually a painful and debilitating disease.
Furthermore, the blisters on Dr. Klenner’s patients were reported to begin healing rapidly, with complete resolution within the first 72 hours. As with other infectious conditions, Dr. Klenner hastened to add that treatment needed to continue for at least 72 hours, as recurrence could readily occur even when the initial response was positive. Dr. Klenner also found a similar regimen of vitamin C just as readily resolved the blistering lesions of chickenpox, with the recoveries usually complete in three to four days. Similar clinical response by chickenpox and shingles to vitamin C is further evidence, albeit indirect, that the chickenpox virus and the later appearing Herpes zoster virus are the same pathogen (Klenner, 1949 & 1974).
Even before Dr. Klenner’s observations were published, another researcher reported results just as astounding when measured against today’s mainstream therapies. Dainow (1943) reported success with 14 shingles patients receiving vitamin C injections. In another study, complete resolution of shingles outbreaks was reported in 327 of 327 patients receiving vitamin C injections within the first 72 hours (Zureick, 1950). While all of this data on vitamin C and shingles is quite old, there is an internal consistency among the report in how the patients responded. Until further clinical trials are conducted, these results stand. They clearly show that vitamin C should be an integral part of any therapeutic approach used on a patient presenting with shingles.
The most important factor in the treatment of any virus with vitamin C is to give enough, for a long enough period of time. Certain chronic viral syndromes do not promptly resolve with vitamin C administration, but there is yet to be an acute viral syndrome that vitamin C cannot resolve promptly, unless the patient already has extensive tissue/organ damage and is literally only moments away from death.
Vitamin C therapy can never be considered a failure in an acute viral syndrome until multiple forms have been used in large doses together. While a majority of acute viral syndromes will rapidly resolve with properly-dosed vitamin C of any kind, resistant cases need to be subjected to a multi-pronged approach to vitamin C administration. Such a regimen can include, but not necessarily be limited to:
1,000 to 5,000 milligrams of liposome-encapsulated vitamin C orally daily
Bowel tolerance doses of vitamin C as sodium ascorbate orally daily
1,000 to 3,000 mg daily of fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate orally daily
Intravenous vitamin C, 25,000 to 150,000 mg per infusion, depending on body size, as frequently as daily, depending on the severity of the infection
Vitamin C accumulating inside viral particles can rapidly destroy viruses by that approach. The spike of the bacteriophage virus is laden with iron, and the focal Fenton reaction is probably how it penetrates its host cell membrane (Bartual et al., 2010; Yamashita et al., 2011; Browning et al., 2012). Viruses accumulate iron and copper, and these metals are also part of the surfaces of viruses (Samuni et al., 1983). As such, wherever the concentrations are the highest, vitamin C will focally upregulate the Fenton reaction, and irreversible viral damage will generally ensue. Fenton activity and its upregulation is the only really well-documented way by which viruses, pathogens, and also cancer cells can be killed by vitamin C, and it is the stimulation of this reaction by vitamin C that makes it therapeutically effective in resolving many infections and cancers (Vilcheze et al., 2013).
Vitamin C helps resolve infections of all varieties, but its effect on acute viral syndromes are especially dramatic and prompt, and it should always be part of any treatment protocol for an infected patient.
We are living in the age of disinformed consent. Parents assume their doctors and their public health authorities are providing them with all relevant vaccine information, and nothing could be further from the truth. Here are 50 scientific studies on health outcomes from the use of vaccines including anorexia, auto-immune conditions, increased death rates in infants, brain inflammation, behavioral disorders similar to autism, neurological damage, ovarian failure, febrile seizures, brain abnormalities linked to emotional and social developmental challenges, and more. These have been dismissed and ignored by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
“There is a robust, worldwide body of published science from highly esteemed scientists questioning the safety of many different aspects of vaccines – how come we never hear from them? The majority of the most compelling science has been published since 2010.
The American Academy of Pediatrics made representations to President Trump in a letter dated 2/7/2017 that are utterly indefensible and inaccurate, as any rational review of the studies below quickly demonstrates. For example, the AAP wrote:
“Claims that vaccines are unsafe when administered according to expert recommendations have been disproven by a robust body of medical literature…we write to express our unequivocal support for the safety of vaccines.”
We contend that the AAP’s statements to the President are baseless, reckless, and easily refuted. The AAP’s letter alone supports the President’s desire to field a Vaccine Safety Commission and do all we can to make vaccines as safe as possible. These 50 such studies to consider, sorted chronologically, and note that these studies only represent a portion of the published work implicating vaccinations in a wide variety of negative health outcomes.”
Any appearance of vaccine safety efforts made by the CDC and its pundits is a facade. A government agency charged with ensuring high vaccination uptake in the population should not be entrusted to ensure that vaccines are as safe as possible.
The CDC is in the vaccine business, a tremendous conflict of interest when that same agency is tasked with promoting mass-scale vaccination. According to a 2003 UPI Investigation, the CDC held 28 vaccine licensing agreements at that time. In 2017, another analysis found that the CDC now holds at least 57 patents related to vaccines.
Members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, who determine vaccine recommendations, are allowed to have financial conflicts, some even profiting from the vaccine decisions the committee recommends.
The FDA tests them and the Vaccine Advisory Council approves only throughly tested vaccines Right? Wrong.
This is how brand new vaccines are approved to the immunization schedule. Basic dialogue before they voted:
Q: Is it dangerous to use this vaccine with other vaccines?
A: We have no data on that. Once approved, it will be given along with other vaccines but we have no clue whether that’s safe or not.
Q: Do we at least have any data from other countries that used this vaccine in combination with other vaccines?
A: Nope
Sounds good to me. Lets vote yes!
Only after they vote, one guy voices concern over 16 heart attack deaths in the safety trials.
Vaccines are given with ‘dis-informed’ consent
Obviously, if vaccines can kill and cause serious and debilitating lifelong damage – which they can, and do – the vaccine administrator must provide that information to the client, in unambiguous fashion, regardless of the estimated size of the risk. It’s an ethical mandate that must be fulfilled, but it never is. There is a fundamental reason: medical schools don’t teach the history and nature of vaccine damage and death; nor do nursing and pharmacy schools. Yet doctors, nurses, and, these days, pharmacists, are the very ones who administer vaccines, and upon whom we rely for full information. Somewhere there is made a conscious decision to exclude the reality of serious vaccine damage from the curricula.
Most of the many doctors who have witnessed vaccine damage – thankfully, not all – lack the professional integrity to follow up with curiosity, let alone research. This is the most troubling of the array of vaccine contradictions; trained to observe, they nevertheless appear blind to even the possibility of causal relation.
Public Woefully Uninformed on Vaccine Risks Due to Government and Mainstream Media Censorship
If you want to know the true risks one takes when receiving a vaccine, do not depend on the pharmaceutical industry, government health officials, or the mainstream media.
How many people were harmed or killed during the vaccine trials? Read the known side effects and warnings that are published.
Section 13 of many of the inserts states: “…has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.” How many years have vaccines been available? There are no studies to determine if they are causing the increase of cancer, the polymophic genetic mutations such as MTHFR or the signficiant decrease in fertility of the present generation.
Learn about the actual death rate from the diseases being vaccinated against and the rate of adverse reactions reported by VAERS for the same disease.
Find a doctor or health care practioner that respects your right to informed consent, and has not been brainwashed by marketing and propaganda from the pharmaceutical industry and government. Find a practioner who does not fear losing their job if they speak the truth. Your life and the lives of those dependent upon you are at risk.
“Fully vaccinated children may be trading the prevention of certain acute illnesses (chicken pox, pertussis, measles) for more chronic illnesses and neuro-developmental disorders like ADHD and Autism.”
