The truth about vaccines risks and failures.

  • Flawed Science: Newborn Receives Same Dose of Neurotoxic Aluminum in Vaccines as 160 Pound Adult

    Flawed Science: Newborn Receives Same Dose of Neurotoxic Aluminum in Vaccines as 160 Pound Adult

    Regarding the aluminum in vaccines is the amount of aluminum allowed in a vaccine administered to a newborn based on safety studies? Is the dose based on the infant’s weight? On the amount of aluminum a newborn’s kidneys can safely eliminate? On the fragile state of the child’s developing immune and neurological systems? On the current science of aluminum particle neurotoxicity?

    No.

    March 2018 published paper reveals how the FDA determined the allowable amount of aluminum in a single vaccine–the same amount for a 7lb newborn as a 160lb adult–and reveals that it is absolutely critical for everyone who administers vaccines to children to cease following the CDC’s pediatric schedule and begin considering what is best for their young patients. 

    The Highlights of this paper include: 

    • Aluminum levels in vaccine is based on immune efficacy and ignore body weight for safety
    • Several critical mistakes have been made in the consideration of pediatric dosing of aluminum in vaccines
    • Safety inferences of vaccine doses of aluminum have relied solely on dietary exposure studies of adult mice and rats
    • On Day 1 of life, infants receive 17 time smore aluminum than would be allowed if the doses were adjusted per body weight
    • Revised MRL calculation based on weight sare provided, but are also based on derived speculation, NOT on safety data

    What is an adjuvant?

    From the CDC: “An adjuvant is an ingredient of a vaccine that helps create a stronger immune response in the patient’s body.  In other words, adjuvants help vaccines work better. Some vaccines made from weakened or dead germs contain naturally occurring adjuvants and help the body produce a strong protective immune response. However, most vaccines developed today include just small components of germs, such as their proteins, rather than the entire virus or bacteria. These vaccines often must be made with adjuvants to ensure the body produces an immune response strong enough to protect the patient from the germ he or she is being vaccinated against.”

    From VaccinePapers.org:

    “The Dwoskins had attended the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and FDA meetings on vaccines, where aluminum was briefly discussed. Both the IOM and FDA acknowledged that aluminum adjuvant toxicity had not been studied. Inferences had been made, based on single-vaccine studies, but experiments to measure the toxicity of aluminum adjuvant had never been done (except by Shaw). In particular, nobody had ever tested the effect of the total amount of aluminum adjuvant received from the vaccine schedule recommended by the CDC.”

    For the results of aluminum-adjuvant injection experiments that replicated the CDC pediatric schedule, visit VaccinePapers.org. Key findings: Administration of aluminium to neonatal mice in vaccine-relevant amounts is associated with adverse long term neurological outcomes.

    An article about Aluminum Toxicity and History from Health Freedom Idaho’s toxicologist

    Dr. Suzanne Humphries breaks down the issue of aluminum into fine detail to help you better understand its use and effects.

    This video explains forms of aluminum adjuvants and inaccurate labeling.

    Here she explains the different forms of aluminum adjuvants and how mislabeling has played a role in obfuscating the common ingredient of several vaccines that continues to cause injuries.

    Aluminum Adjuvants

    Abstract: Aluminum vaccine adjuvants: are they safe? Curr Med Chem. 2011;18(17):2630-7.

    “Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science’s understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences. In our opinion, the possibility that vaccine benefits may have been overrated and the risk of potential adverse effects underestimated, has not been rigorously evaluated in the medical and scientific community.”

    “We previously showed that poorly biodegradable aluminum-coated particles injected into muscle are promptly phagocytosed in muscle and the draining lymph nodes, and can disseminate within phagocytic cells throughout the body and slowly accumulate in brain. This strongly suggests that long-term adjuvant biopersistence within phagocytic cells is a prerequisite for slow brain translocation and delayed neurotoxicity.”

    2016: “Insight into the cellular fate and toxicity of aluminum adjuvants used in clinically approved human vaccinations

    “We demonstrate that not all aluminium adjuvants are equal neither in terms of their physical properties nor their biological reactivity and potential toxicities both at the injection site and beyond. High loading of aluminium oxyhydroxide in the cytoplasm of THP-1 cells without immediate cytotoxicity might predispose this form of aluminium adjuvant to its subsequent transport throughout the body including access to the brain.”

    2016 “Behavioral abnormalities in female mice following administration of aluminum adjuvants and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil.”

    “Vaccine adjuvants and vaccines may induce autoimmune and inflammatory manifestations in susceptible individuals. To date most human vaccine trials utilize aluminum (Al) adjuvants as placebos despite much evidence showing that Al in vaccine-relevant exposures can be toxic to humans and animals. We sought to evaluate the effects of Al adjuvant and the HPV vaccine Gardasil versus the true placebo on behavioral and inflammatory parameters in female mice.”

    2016 “Aluminum adjuvants of vaccines injected into the muscle: Normal fate, pathology and associated disease.”

    “Although generally well tolerated on the short term, it has been suspected to occasionally cause delayed neurologic problems in susceptible individuals. In particular, the long-term persistence of aluminic granuloma also termed macrophagic myofasciitis is associated with chronic arthromyalgias and fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. Safety concerns largely depend on the long biopersistence time inherent to this adjuvant, which may be related to its quick withdrawal from the interstitial fluid by avid cellular uptake; and the capacity of adjuvant particles to migrate and slowly accumulate in lymphoid organs and the brain, a phenomenon documented in animal models and resulting from MCP1/CCL2-dependant translocation of adjuvant-loaded monocyte-lineage cells (Trojan horse phenomenon). These novel insights strongly suggest that serious re-evaluation of long-term aluminum adjuvant phamacokinetics and safety should be carried out.”

    2017 Effects of Aluminium on Rat Brain Mitochondria Bioenergetics: an In vitro and In vivo Study

    “The observed effects also included both an alteration in mitochondrial transmembrane potential and a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation capacity when relatively high concentrations of aluminium were added to the isolated mitochondria. These findings contribute to explain both the ability of aluminium to generate oxidative stress and its suggested potential to act as an etiological factor by promoting the progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.”

    2017 The putative role of environmental aluminium in the development of chronic neuropathology in adults and children. How strong is the evidence and what could be the mechanisms involved?

    “Evidence of the neurotoxicity of aluminium cations (Al3+) includes: an association between chronic aluminium exposure and the development of AD; the involvement of aluminium adjuvants in the development of ASIA; and epidemiological evidence pointing to an association between the use of aluminium adjuvants and ASD.”

    “Aluminium has no known beneficial physiological action in the human body and some genetic polymorphisms predispose to a greater susceptibility to its adverse effects. Therefore, a strong case can be made for avoiding unnecessary exposure to environmental sources of aluminium salts, especially on the part of children, pregnant mothers and women of child-bearing age who may become pregnant. Such avoidance need not lead to hardship or inconvenience; aluminium cookware may be replaced by safer alternatives, while aluminium-containing antiperspirants, potentially implicated in the rise of cases of breast cancer particularly affecting the upper outer quadrant of the mammary gland, may be replaced by non-aluminium versions. The use of aluminium salts in medical products is a more contentious issue. While antacids are available which do not contain aluminium salts, the avoidance of immunisations which do not contain aluminium salts as adjuvants has wider political and financial implications. It would seem prudent to try to find an alternative to aluminium adjuvants as soon as possible and phase out their use.”

    “Moreover, aluminium exposure is associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and with the development of chronic oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and glial activation or dysfunction; these changes in turn are associated with ASD.”

    2017 Aluminium in brain tissue in autism.

    “The pre-eminence of intracellular aluminium associated with non-neuronal cells was a standout observation in autism brain tissue and may offer clues as to both the origin of the brain aluminium as well as a putative role in autism spectrum disorder.”

  • Top 5 Things to Consider About Childhood Vaccines

    Top 5 Things to Consider About Childhood Vaccines

    Vaccines are one of the most critical topics a parent can research. Beyond the connection of vaccines and autism are some statistics and facts that should be closely examined. Its not easy wading through the plethora of  marketing materials from companies that financially benefit from your child’s immunizations. Take a moment to consider these five points: US children are the most vaccinated in the world and yet we have seen an exponential increase in chronic illness in our children. Statistics reflect that our children will live shorter lives than their parents. Could this be because vaccines contain some of the most toxic and carcinogenic ingredients on the planet and are injected into our children 72 times by the age of 18. Do you realize that your child will receive more shots before the age of 5 than you received in your entire life. It begs the question, if vaccines work so well, why do we need so many?!! Perhaps it’s just about money and not your child’s health. Consider this, the number of vaccines on the US childhood schedule has increased exponentially AFTER the manufacturers and the doctors no longer have any liability for a vaccine reaction causing the death or injury of your child from the shots….
    1960: 5 vaccines
    1980: 20 vaccines
    1995: 40 vaccines
    2016: 72 vaccines
    Just as disturbing is the fact that all the manufacturers creating our children’s vaccine have pled guilty of fraud (A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain). Yet they tell us their products are perfectly safe for our children and we believe them.  Take a moment to research these facts (bit.ly/considervax), take a look at the manufacturer’s inserts for the vaccines your child is to receive (read the label) before injecting them. Our children are a precious and their health is a parent’s responsibility.

  • Open Enrollment Reminder Parents Only Need to Provide Written Statement For Exemption

    Open Enrollment Reminder Parents Only Need to Provide Written Statement For Exemption

    Senator Foreman championed a bill for Health Freedom Idaho this year S 1227 to help families avoid the harassment that Sara’s family experienced when they went to enroll their son for kindergarten at West Ada County school. Senator Heider has refused to allow a clarifying bill to be heard in the 2017 and 2018 sessions. With only 3 days left in the 2018 session, its unlikely that parents will have the clarified statute behind them this year during open enrollment. Reminder a parental statement is ALL that is required to invoke your right to vaccine exemption. The law does NOT require a religious affiliation. The law does NOT require a specific list of vaccinations that your child has/has not received. The law does NOT require acknowledgement of risk, benefits of exclusion from school. Be Aware! If you leave sections intentionally blank the schools administrators have been encouraged by Health and Welfare to fill out their Immunization Exemption form when parents leave sections blank. https://hfi2.designbyparrish.com/health-dept-advises-schools-to-fill-out-vaccine-exemption-form-for-parents-who-refuse

    Never sign a form with blank spaces! If nothing else draw a line through anything you don’t want to fill out. You can also right “under duress” before your signature of you’re being forced to sign something.

    Idaho Superintendent confirms: Parents only need to write up a statement to invoke their right to vaccine exemption. Here is where you join Health Freedom Idaho. We are all in this together! https://hfi2.designbyparrish.com/join


    Sara’s son was denied enrollment on August 23, 2017, by school officials in a West Ada County school on his very first day of kindergarten. <see article>
    Her family had submitted their parental statement of vaccine/immunization exemption to the school in April 2017. Only three days before the start of school, officials demanded that the form provided by the Health and Welfare Department be completed in full without any modification.

    PARENTS RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM SUPERINTENDENT

    With the support of Health Freedom Idaho, Sara received much media attention that forced the schools to acknowledge their error.  This Friday, September 1st, 2017, the family received correspondence from West Ada County’s Superintendent admitting that the Health and Welfare immunization exemption form is not necessary for school enrollment.

  • Herd Immunity Have You Seen the 1985 Statistics?

    Herd Immunity Have You Seen the 1985 Statistics?

    Did you see this viral post on facebook about herd immunity? Herd immunity (also called herd effect, community immunity, population immunity, or social immunity) is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection, thereby providing a measure of protection for individuals who are not immune.  If you were vaccinated in 1985 consider this data: 

    Are parents being sold a bill of goods about the importance of EVERY vaccine, herd immunity, and mandatory vaccination? I think so, but I’ll let you decide. What do you think of this data from 1985? Were you alive in 1985? I was. Were infectious diseases a hot topic of conversation? Were parents fearful for their baby’s lives? Why are things so different today and why is the narrative about vaccines so fear-based?

    If you wonder where this data comes from, it comes from the CDC, you can access it right here:

    https://www.cdc.gov/…/p…/downloads/appendices/G/coverage.pdf

    If you wonder why there are so many “0%” for vaccine coverage levels, it’s because none of those vaccines existed yet. You see, one year later, in 1986, Congress gave vaccine makers liability protection, and, presto, our kids started getting a bunch more vaccines.

    NOTE: These rates are ONLY for school-age children. The CDC didn’t even track ADULT vaccination rates, but you can be sure they were way LOWER than the rates for kids. Despite the fact that the population of the United States in 1985 (as it remains today) didn’t achieve ‘herd immunity’, we have a LOW disease rate and no one was terrified. It proves vaccines are not our savior.

    JB Handley offers more information on Herd Immunity and the Dishonest Marketing Gimmick 

    Childhood vaccination rates and adult vaccination rates in the United States right now is probably somewhere around 65%. Nowhere near Herd Immunity thresholds. See how that number is calculated.

    Herd Immunity 

    Why Herd Immunity Does not Work. If a vaccine produces any immunity at all, why on earth does it matter if anyone else is vaccinated? If vaccines produce “immunity” to the diseases for which they are given; it should not make a bit of difference who you are around or how many in the community are vaccinated. That’s like saying my bug spray won’t work unless you wear yours.

    What about Herd Immunity?

    3 out of 4 people are unvaccinated and thus herd immunity doesn’t exist.
    The sound bites of “herd immunity” are over simplification of a deeply complicated topic. Interview with Suzanne Humphreys

    Herd Immunity vs Outbreaks

    But in the fantasy reality of so-called “herd immunity,” 86% just isn’t enough to prevent a disease outbreak, or so goes the myth. According to information from the study presented by California Healthline, as many as 86% of those who caught measles at Disneyland were fully up to date on their MMR vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella. If you believe in vaccines you realize that none of them should have gotten measles, if you believe the official story anyway.

  • Dr. Judy Mikovits Made A Horrifying Discovery That Is Contaminating Vaccines

    Dr. Judy Mikovits Made A Horrifying Discovery That Is Contaminating Vaccines

    Hear Dr. Mikovits speak in Boise on July 21st at The Vineyard!

    In 2011, Dr. Judy Mikovits made a horrifying discovery that was contaminating all vaccinations. When supervising government authorities were presented with this scientific information they told her to destroy all her data and placed a gag order on her for four years, threatening jail if she spoke out. 

    Dr Judy Mikovits has a PhD in molecular biology and biochemistry. She is a PhD biochemist, molecular biologist with over 30 years of experience. She has directed programs on HIV, cancer, epigenetics and neuroimmune disease with a focus on development of novel drug and diagnostic technologies. 

    In 2011 when she made a horrifying discovery that was contaminating all vaccinations, she presented her data to government officials and was threatened and told to destroy all her data. When she did not, she was jailed, her career systematically destroyed, and a gag order put in place for four years threatening that if she spoke out she would be thrown back in jail.

    That gag order has lifted. She is speaking out now. 

    Hear Dr. Mikovits speak in person at the Boise Natural Health Symposium on Saturday, July 21st at The Vineyard

    Dr. Mikovits has written a revolutionary book called “Plague: One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth about Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases.” The book details the discovery and consequences of retroviruses in vaccines and their effects on current health issues. 

    Just recently, Mike Adams of Natural News interview Dr. Mikovits in this thought-provoking video.

    This video interview is with The Truth About Vaccines and delves into the cancer-causing viruses that Dr. Mikovits discovered.

  • The Devastating Effects of HPV Vaccine

    The Devastating Effects of HPV Vaccine

    HPV is NOT an infectious, communicable disease. Cervical cancer is NOT a public health threat. WHY are there HPV mandates for school children? This vaccine was NEVER tested on anyone under the age of 25 and they are recommending (and MANDATING) this vaccine for children as young as nine. Could these mandates stem from the fact that the CDC holds patents and they financial profit from this most damaging and yet lucrative vaccine?

    The HPV vaccine was NEVER developed to prevent cancer, it was developed and approved to prevent WARTS. Warts are not a public health threat. And yet, parents are being marketed to that their daughters get the three shots and they will be protected from cervical cancer. It has been scientifically shown that HPV when treated early does not develop into cancer. Now parents will have a false sense of security and their daughters won’t get paps smears, there will be no early detection. 

    This vaccine is devastating. 40,000 cases of vaccine injury from the HPV vaccine. That’s more than the total number of cervical cancer in the United States in any given year.

    We need to STOP vaccination (in the U.S.) right NOW. –National Cancer Institute Scientist, Dr. Judy Mikovits declares at a National Press Conference in Washington D.C. that HPV vaccines are not safe and need to be banned. She says the public health threat is the vaccines and offers to talk to Congress and show them the evidence.

  • VACCINE SAFETY Part 3: The 100 fold increase of vaccine adverse reactions when reporting was automated

    VACCINE SAFETY Part 3: The 100 fold increase of vaccine adverse reactions when reporting was automated

    Vaccine reactions are known and hardly reported. When a system was developed to automatically report adverse reactions to vaccines it proved that they occur in rates greater than 1 in a million (as claimed by the CDC). Why would an organization that claims to be dedicated to the protection of health eliminate the opportunity to identify vaccines that cause harm to a large portion of the population?

    ICAN spent months researching the state of vaccine safety in the United States. The shocking result of this effort was presented to the heads of the National Institutes of Health with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in May of 2017.

    The information contained in that presentation has been distilled into an easy to read, thorough white paper that goes through many of the shortcomings and failures of the vaccine safety program. This is PART III of that paper.  A U.S. House Report similarly stated: “Former FDA Commissioner David A. Kessler has estimated that VAERS reports currently represent only a fraction of the serious adverse events.”31 X

    VAERS (the U.S. vaccine adverse event reporting system) is that it is a passive reporting system, relying on voluntary, rather than mandatory, reporting. Assuming VAERS captures 1 percent of adverse events (which is more than is estimated),
    then the number of adverse events reported to VAERS in 2016 would reflect for that year
    5,911,700 adverse events,
    43,200 deaths
    109,100 permanent disabilities
    413,200 hospitalizations
    and 1,028,400 emergency room visits related to vaccines.

    Capturing “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events” thirty years after the passage of the 1986 Act is unacceptable – and potentially deadly.
    Did you know an automated system was developed and the CDC refused to implement it?

    Numerous reviews of VAERS have found that only a tiny fraction of vaccine adverse events are reported. For example, an HHS-funded review of vaccine adverse events over a three-year period by Harvard Medical School involving 715,000 patients found that “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported.”30 

    It would be far better if adverse events reports were automatically created and submitted to VAERS to avoid the issue of under-reporting. Automated reporting would provide invaluable information that could clarify which vaccines might cause harm and to whom, potentially allowing us to avoid these injuries and deaths. The idea of automating adverse event reporting to VAERS is not new or even difficult to achieve.32  

    The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, an agency within HHS, sought to do exactly that in 2007 when it provided an approximately $1 million grant to automate VAERS reporting at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.33  The result was the successful automation of adverse event reports at Harvard Pilgrim: Preliminary data were collected from June 2006 through October 2009 on 715,000 patients, and 1.4 million doses (of 45 different vaccines) were given to 376,452 individuals. Of these doses, 35,570 possible reactions … were identified.34 These results should have been startling to HHS since they show that over only a three-year period, there were 35,570 reportable reactions in just 376,452 vaccine recipients. Given HHS’s statutory mandate to assure safer vaccines, it should have rushed forward with automating VAERS reporting. However, this is not what happened.

    After automating adverse event reports at Harvard Pilgrim, the developers of this system asked the CDC to take the final step of linking VAERS with the Harvard Pilgrim system so that these reports could be automatically transmitted into VAERS. Instead, the CDC refused to cooperate.

    As the Harvard grant recipients explained: Unfortunately, there was never an opportunity to perform system performance assessments because the necessary CDC contacts were no longer available and the CDC consultants responsible for receiving data were no longer responsive to our multiple requests to proceed with testing and evaluation.35

    After three years and spending $1 million of taxpayers’ money, the CDC refused to even communicate with the HHS’ Harvard Medical School grant recipients. While HHS generally strongly supports automating public health surveillance systems, when it comes to vaccine safety, the CDC has only supported projects that would limit VAERS to passive surveillance.36  

    Automation would improve safety and address many of the long-standing issues and limitations raised by CDC regarding VAERS.37

  • VACCINE SAFETY Part 1: Responsibility for Vaccine Safety lies SQUARELY On the Shoulders of US Department of Health and Human Services

    VACCINE SAFETY Part 1: Responsibility for Vaccine Safety lies SQUARELY On the Shoulders of US Department of Health and Human Services

    Unlike nearly every other company in America, pharmaceutical companies have almost no liability for injuries caused by their vaccine products.

    By granting immunity from actual or potential liability from injuries caused by vaccines, Congress eliminated the market forces that are generally relied upon to assure the safety of all other products. As the 1986 Act expressly provides: “No person may bring a civil action … against a vaccine administrator or manufacturer in a State or Federal court for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.” Every pediatric vaccine recommended by the CDC creates for its manufacturer a liability-free captive market of 78 million children with guaranteed payment. So, who is there making sure vaccines are SAFE since manufacturers have no financial incentive do to so.


    ICANspent months researching the state of vaccine safety in the United States. The shocking result of this effort was presented to the heads of the National Institutes of Health with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in May of 2017.

    The information contained in that presentation has been distilled into an easy to read, thorough white paper that goes through many of the shortcomings and failures of the vaccine safety program. This is PART 2 of that paper.

    In 2016, the IOM formally changed its name to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Explained by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 1, by 1986, the “litigation costs associated with claims of damage from vaccines had forced several companies to end their vaccine research and development programs as well as to stop producing already licensed vaccines.”2

    Instead of letting market forces compel vaccine makers to create safer vaccines, Congress granted pharmaceutical companies, financial immunity from injuries caused by vaccines recommended by the CDC. 3 Congress did so by passing the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (the 1986 Act). 4

    By granting immunity from actual or potential liability from injuries caused by vaccines, Congress eliminated the market forces that are generally relied upon to assure the safety of all other products.

    As the 1986 Act expressly provides: “No person may bring a civil action… against a vaccine administrator or manufacturer in a State or Federal court for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.”5

    The 1986 Act even shields vaccine makers from liability where it is clear and unmistakable that the vaccine in question could have been designed safer. 6As recently explained in a U.S. Supreme Court opinion: [N]o one—neither the FDA nor any other federal agency, nor state and federal juries—ensures that vaccine manufacturers adequately take account of scientific and technological advancements. This concern is especially acute with respect to vaccines that have already released and marketed to the public. Manufacturers… Will often have little or no incentive to improve the designs of vaccines that are already generating significant profit margins.7

    Recognizing that the 1986 Act eliminated the incentive for vaccine makers to assure the safety of their vaccine products, the 1986 Act explicitly places this responsibility in the hands of the United States Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).8  

    As provided in the 1986 Act, HHS is responsible for “research … to prevent adverse reactions to vaccines,” “develop[ing] the techniques needed to produce safe … vaccines,” “safety … testing of vaccines,” “monitoring … adverse effects of vaccines,” and “shall make or assure improvements in … the licensing, manufacturing, processing, testing, labeling, warning, use instructions, distribution, storage, administration, field surveillance, adverse reaction reporting, … and research on vaccines in order to reduce the risks of adverse reactions to vaccines.”9

    Since passage of the 1986 Act, the number of required pediatric vaccines has grown rapidly. In 1983, the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule included 11 injections of 4 vaccines.10

    As of 2017, the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule includes 56 injections of 30 different vaccines. It is only when the CDC adds a vaccine to its recommended vaccine schedule that the manufacturer is granted immunity from liability for vaccine injuries.

    And due to a federal funding scheme, CDC recommended vaccines are then made compulsory to American children under state laws and subsidized by the Federal government for children unable to afford the vaccine.13

    The end result is that under the 1986 Act, every pediatric vaccine recommended by the CDC creates for its manufacturer a liability-free captive market of 78 million children with guaranteed payment. This incentive structure is unequal in the marketplace and eliminates the normal market forces driving product safety. Hence the 1986 Act’s transferred essentially all responsibility for vaccine safety from the pharmaceutical companies to HHS.


    Read this important letter putting Health and Human Services on notice for failing to conduct proper science to demonstrate vaccine safety. “ICAN lays out the provisions of the (1986 Act) that legally require HHS to conduct science that reduces the risk of all vaccine injury. Failure to do so could result in legal action against HHS on behalf of the American public.”

  • Whooping Cough Outbreak: How Effective and Safe Is the Vaccine?

    Whooping Cough Outbreak: How Effective and Safe Is the Vaccine?

    CDC’s own reports show that the whooping cough vaccine is not effective each year more than 50% of the children with whopping cough were vaccinated with the childhood whooping cough DTaP vaccine. It only takes a quick scan of the literature online to notice that there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of articles regarding outbreaks of pertussis, measles, and other contagious diseases around the United States in which the vast majority of the people infected had been fully vaccinated.

    So when it comes to blaming those who choose not to vaccinate (for whatever reason they wish), it doesn’t make any sense. The facts just don’t bear it out.

    CDC’s own statistics reveal the vaccine in ineffective.

    Here is an actual study published by the CDC in 2014 that shows 82% of vaccinated individuals got whooping cough 
    2016 it still the same story.

    -Number of un vaccinated children who had pertussis = 9%

    – Number of vaccinated children (with ALL THREE DOSES) who had pertussis = 49%
    – Number of vaccinated children (with less than 3 doses) who had pertussis = 6%

    Obviously this proves vaccines aren’t as effective as they preach! With a strong immune system, pertussis can be cured naturally. So why inject our children’s bodies with poisons that are only assaulting that immune system? Chemicals do NOT strengthen the immune system. They destroy it! 

    Why it doesn’t the Whooping Cough Vaccine work?

    Pertussis is a bacteria, not a virus, and it is in acellular form which is why there’s an “a” before the “P” in the name of the TDaP vaccine. It is chopped up bits of pertussis toxin (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00048610.htm) along with some other bacterial bits in the vaccine. The vaccine can cause someone to become an asymptomatic carrier of pertussis of they’re infected.

    So although “scientists say people are protected from the disease if vaccinated” people vaccinated against pertussis can spread the disease to others.4

    And this is precisely the point to bear in mind as you read about pertussis outbreaks. The outbreaks are not necessarily occurring because of the lack of so-called “herd immunity”—not enough people being vaccinated. They may well be occurring because of the vaccinated population itself.

    Let’s take a moment to talk about SAFETY. Since we have already dispelled the marketing campaign myth that the vaccine is ‘effective’. 

    CDC’s deceitful marketing campaign against pregnant women

    The CDC is still including the recommendation that pregnant women get a Tdap shot during every pregnancy. What is maddening is that the VACCINE MANUFACTURERS INSERT CLEARLY STATE: 

    It is also not known 253 whether Adacel vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Adacel vaccine should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.(TDAP Sanofi Pasteur Full Prescribing Information 306 – Adacel®)

    No human testing was done to identify if the GlaxoSmithKline version of the whooping cough vaccine is harmful to mother or child. So the company maintains a surveillance registry to collect data on pregnancy outcomes and newborn health status outcomes following vaccination with BOOSTRIX during pregnancy. Women who receive BOOSTRIX during pregnancy should be encouraged to contact GlaxoSmithKline directly or their healthcare provider should contact GlaxoSmithKline by calling 1-888-452-9622.

    So they aren’t testing it PRIOR to recommendation..pregnant moms and their preborn children ARE the experiment.

    Do the doctors disclose this fact as they are pressuring moms to ‘protect their child’ with a vaccine that hasn’t been tested or proven SAFE in pregnancy?

  • Physicians Finds MMR Vaccine Causes Seizures in 5,700 U.S. Children Annually

    Physicians Finds MMR Vaccine Causes Seizures in 5,700 U.S. Children Annually

    Every year about 5,700 US children suffer seizures from the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines. Dr Bob Sears points out that if the risk of seizures from MMR vaccine is as high as 1 in 500, and the risk of catching measles is almost zero, what is that going to do to vaccine compliance?  The rates of seizure disorders in children have skyrocketed in recent years, with one in 20 children under the age of five now suffering from epilepsy. Many parents know vaccines are to blame, as their children suffered seizures shortly after vaccination. Government officials say it’s mere coincidence. [1] Epilepsy is the formal medical diagnosis given to patients who suffer multiple seizures.

    According to the Epilepsy Foundation, at least 326,000 children in the United States have been diagnosed with epilepsy, with an additional 200,000 cases diagnosed each year. [2] 

    The California-based nonprofit organization, Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), recently reported in The BMJ that every year about 5,700 U.S. children suffer seizures from the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. 

    “To make accurate and ethical public health decisions, the risks of a vaccine must be compared to the risks of the disease one is trying to prevent,” said Dr. Shira Miller, PIC president and founder. “When considering the MMR vaccine to prevent measles, the risks of the MMR vaccine need to be compared to the risks of measles.”

    This finding is derived from results of the most statistically powered safety study ever to measure the association between MMR vaccination and febrile seizures. More than half a million children were evaluated, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, from a Danish population that is relied upon globally to examine vaccine safety. The results showed that seizures from the MMR vaccine occur in about 1 in 640 children up to two weeks following MMR vaccination. Applying this risk of seizures to the 3.64 million U.S. children vaccinated with a first dose of MMR every year results in about 5,700 annual MMR-vaccine seizures.

    There is a five-fold higher risk of seizures from the MMR vaccine than seizures from measles, and a significant portion of MMR-vaccine seizures cause permanent harm. For example, 5% of febrile seizures result in epilepsy, a chronic brain disorder that leads to recurring seizures. Annually, about 300 MMR-vaccine seizures (5% of 5,700) will lead to epilepsy.

    Furthermore, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), designed to be a warning system for identifying vaccine side effects, receives only about 90 annual reports of MMR-vaccine seizures following the first dose—only 1.6% of the 5,700 MMR-vaccine seizures that actually occur. Thus, other serious vaccine adverse events from MMR, including permanent neurological harm and death, may similarly be underreported.

    “In the United States, measles is generally a benign, short-term viral infection; 99.99% of measles cases fully recover,” said Dr. Miller. “As it has not been proven that the MMR vaccine is safer than measles, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that mandatory measles mass vaccination results in a net public health benefit in the United States.”

    Physicians for Informed Consent is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization dedicated to safeguarding informed consent in vaccination. To learn more about vaccine risks vs. disease risks, read PIC’s Letter to the Editor in The BMJ, and PIC’s Measles Disease Information Statement (DIS) and Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS) at physiciansforinformedconsent.org/measles.
