Gardasil was fast-tracked

In 2006 when the HPV vaccine Gardasil was licensed and marketed to young girls and women 9-26 years of age, the phase 3 clinical trials had not been completed. This meant that the benefits of the vaccine and any safety issues arising from it were not known. The time period from clinical trial to recommending the vaccine was only 4 years. According to Dr Diane Harper, one of  Merck’s HPV researchers “most vaccines take 3 years to develop and then 5 to 10 more for universal acceptance.” “Merck lobbied every opinion leader, women’s group, medical society, politicians, and went directly to the people — it created a sense of panic that says you have to have this vaccine now.”

Gardasil was fast-tracked by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to industry lobbying from the manufacturer Merck who in December 2005 submitted an application to the FDA for fast track approval. Shortly after in February 2006 Merck announced that the FDA had given the go-ahead and that Gardasil was to be given a ‘priority review’. Such an accelerated review is reserved for vaccines and other products that are urgent and for conditions where other treatment does not exist. Did Gardasil fulfill this unmet need? No it did not. Cervical cancer is a rare outcome of HPV infection and in countries with cervical cancer screening programs, cases of the disease and fatalities have more than halved and if a cancer is found early and treatment given, the 5 year survival rate is 72%. But in spite of these facts the FDA review date was scheduled for June 8 , 2006 whereupon the first HPV vaccine was approved and recommended for all women aged between 9-26 years even though it had not been tested for the prevention of precursor lesions in females younger than 15 years of age.

In Too Fast or Not Too Fast: The FDA’s Approval of Merck’s HPV Vaccine Gardasil, Canadian researchers Lucija Tomljenovic and Christopher A. Shaw state that ‘Merck’s HPV vaccine Gardasil failed (and continues to fail) to meet a single one of the four criteria required by the FDA for Fast Track approval’.
According to Tomljenovic and Shaw,
In order to gain approval, a Fast Track drug must demonstrate the following:
1. Show superior effectiveness to existing treatments (if such are available)
2. Avoid serious side effects of an available treatment
3. Improving the diagnosis of a serious disease where early diagnosis results in an improved outcome
4. Decrease a clinically significant toxicity of an accepted treatment
Even so Gardasil continues to be marketed and promoted to young girls and now boys for prevention against a disease they are most unlikely to ever get.

Can we talk about this?

Current thinking is that the human papilloma virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and that all girls and boys in early high school need to be given HPV vaccines. In my book Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed I trace the early history of cervical cancer from a disease of obscurity to one of mainstream prominence. I have found and documented the numerous theories about the cause(s) of cervical cancer which have come and gone over the decades. I have read and written about how in the early years of the nineteenth century physicians claimed that sex was involved for it was observed that the disease was found in larger numbers among poorer, city women than amongst women in long term and stable relationships and in women who were living in rural areas. It was also thought that the disease was very rare in nuns until further research showed that religious sisters were subject to the disease too, and that, contrary to prevailing opinion, women in long-term relationships also developed cervical cancer. It was suggested that in the case of cancer of the uterus that the trauma of childbirth itself could be a risk factor. Such speculation might explain why there was more cervical cancer among women of low socioeconomic status than among women of means. Poorer women tended to have more children, lived harsher lives and possibly received less medical care, as well as missing out on much-needed rest and recovery time after the birth of their children.

I believe these early researchers were on the right track when they suspected that social circumstances such as poverty and inequality were in some way implicated in the disease process. British psychologist, author and researcher Susan Quilliam documented these lifestyle factors that might increase the chance of becoming ill with cervical cancer in her 1989 book Positive Smear. Written just before the idea that the human papillomavirus might be involved, she stressed the importance of a balanced diet and claimed that deficiencies in vitamin C, beta carotene and folic acid were common in women with cervical precancerous cells. Quilliam strongly emphasised the importance of a healthy environment, good hygiene and excellent nutrition as prerequisites for good health and resistance to disease. When discussing the causes of cervical cancer, she doesn’t shy away from a conversation about the contraceptive pill and how it has a negative effect on natural immunity as well as a propensity to lessen the body’s ability to use folic acid.

Today such environmental and socioeconomic factors relevant to the causation of cervical cancer are rarely considered. Instead the human papilloma virus is said to cause cervical cancer, no questions asked or answered.  Why, when and how this has happened is crucial to the story of Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed.

News, book launch and crackdown on free speech

I keep finding more information that I have not included in my book Gardsil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed.

I recently watched an hour – long interview with a New Zealand couple whose daughter had been injured post vaccination with Gardasil. Her mother had said no to the consent form sent home by the school but on the day of vaccination her daughter was bullied into it – made fearful by classmates and those giving the shots that she didn’t have it she would get cervical cancer and so submitted to the vaccine. The next morning she awoke with a blinding headache and from there her health went from bad to worse. It cost this family much in terms of heartache and money to obtain the help they needed to get their daughter well again. The medical system could do nothing – they could not or would not see the connection between the young girl’s condition that consisted of neurological problems and reproductive issues in that her periods had ceased and so the family sought homeopathy and naturopathic treatment. The treatment is expensive– there’s the testing involved, the detoxing and supplementation. This young girl was fortunate in that her parents were able to seek out and provide this treatment. There are so many who aren’t able to afford this and many who remain ignorant of what is wrong with them and that alternative treatment is available. The information is not in the mainstream where it should be.

In Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed I have written that there are over 50,000 adverse reported events after vaccination and yet during this interview I heard about another larger database of adverse events called Vigibase. It’s a World Health Organisation database and they record the total as over 73000. This of course is still far from accurate as many people don’t know where or how to record their event. It is good that we know where to record these events but what is being done about the huge number of adverse events. Where is the inquiry into these events – surely the World Health Organisation should be insisting on an inquiry and cessation of this vaccination program?

Of this 73,000 adverse events there are some astounding totals

  • Blood and lymphatic system disorders (1718)
  • Cardiac disorders (1921)
  • Congenital, familial and genetic disorders (246)
  • Ear and labyrinth disorders (1356)
  • Endocrine disorders (284)
  • Eye disorders (4076)
  • Gastrointestinal disorders (13313)
  • General disorders and administration site conditions (38918)
  • Hepatobiliary disorders (231)
  • Immune system disorders (1495)
  • Infections and infestations (3935)
  • Injury, poisoning and procedural complications (8507)
  • Investigations (11205)
  • Metabolism and nutrition disorders (1445)
  • Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (12048)
  • Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (incl cysts and polyps) (874)
  • Nervous system disorders (32911)
  • Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions (1153)
  • Product issues (58)
  • Psychiatric disorders (4080)
  • Renal and urinary disorders (942)
  • Reproductive system and breast disorders (2663)
  • Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (4852)
  • Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (12557)
  • Social circumstances (1342)
  • Surgical and medical procedures (1737)
  • Vascular disorders (4714)

In Australia 12-13 year old girls and boys are vaccinated with Gardasil as part of the school vaccination programs: Figures from 2014–15 reveal that nationally nearly 79% of girls aged 15 were fully immunised against HPV and 67% of boys. The uptake of Gardasil is much lower in the US where figures recorded for 2013 show that around 40% of girls and 35% of boys have received three doses. No surprise then that there is talk of mandatory vaccination with HPV vaccines in parts of the US. In a highly controversial, unprecedented motion, members of the Allegheny County Health Department in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have publicly revealed that they’re considering administering a countywide mandate to require all 7th grade girls and boys to receive the HPV vaccine before receiving admittance into school for the 2017–18 school year. This is very wrong and not only because they want to forcibly administer this vaccine but the HPV vaccine has been linked to more cases of death, disability and other serious side effects than can be traced to any other vaccine. And as noted in the book HPV vaccines are being associated with the very rare but serious condition of premature ovarian failure (POF), also known as premature menopause.” Surely there are enough problems with infertility already but no we’ll just cause a bit more – this time to teenagers – the future parents.

We need to spread the word about HPV vaccination before they mandate this one in Australia as they have done with the childhood shots linking them to family payments and entry to childcare. Imagine your teenagers not able to go to high school if they don’t get their HPV shots. HPV is not a communicable disease like measles. There is no need for this vaccine which was said to prevent Cervical Cancer and yet there is zero scientific proof that the vaccine has prevented a single case of Cervical cancer in any country. People are resisting all over the world – but very quiet in this country.

 In July 2016, 63 Japanese women and girls aged between 15 to 22 years sued the government and the drug makers for damages over health problems they suffered after they were vaccinated with the HPV vaccines Cervarix and Gardasil. The plaintiffs who had experienced a range of health problems starting after their HPV vaccines are seeking compensation of at least 15 million yen each. The women insist that the government provide expert medical help for their symptoms and that research for a cure happens. The women’s lawyers have stated: “the causal relationship will be acknowledged because the victims have common symptoms”. In the United States vaccine companies have immunity from prosecution. To understand how this happened, we have to turn the clock back to 1982. That is when four big drug companies (Merck, Wyeth, Lederle, Connaught) threatened to stop selling vaccines in America unless a law was passed giving them complete immunity from prosecution. So claims are submitted to the US national vaccine injury compensation program. The drug companies are not sued.

By March 20, 2013 Judicial Watch the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program had awarded $5,877,710 to 49 victims for harm resulting from the HPV vaccine and up to 2016 there were a total of 119 cases of damaged litigants compensated. There is no proof that this vaccine can prevent cervical cancer. It may result in more cases for there are reports of young women who have got cervical cancer after the vaccine. There are likely to be more cases of cervical cancer because there are changes to the successful Pap smear programs that are to start in December. Instead of the Pap smear test there is to be an HPV test. This of course predicated on the basis that HPV causes Cervical Cancer but there are many cases of Cervical cancer where the women are found to be HPV negative. So these cases of early cervical cancer may be missed.

At the launch of my book Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed my publishers and I were verbally attacked by two ardent pro-vaccinators one of whom was a virologist and the other an immunisation nurse. As well as being very disruptive and insulting they were dismissive of a woman in the audience who related the story of her two good friends who had suffered adverse effects from the Gardasil vaccine. The incident was surprising and begs many questions: Why were these two people there? What did they hope to achieve by their interruption and their attempts at disputing the facts presented in the book. Do they hope to shut this story down. Am I to be intimidated into silence?

Such ardent promoters of vaccination must be very worried that the  public is becoming aware that vaccines carry real risks. It is no surprise to read that Australian nurses and midwives who dare to speak out against the dangers of vaccinations on social media or in person will be prosecuted and that the Australian government is urging members of the public to report vaccine skeptics to the authorities.We are entering dangerous times when we cannot speak openly about medical procedures such as the Gardasil vaccination that can cause harm to some people.

Gardasil Girls

Laura is one of the Irish ‘Gardasil Girls’. She was a normal active teenager and an“asset in the classroom,” said her mother. After her first Gardasil shot, Laura became unwell and required her mother to pick her up from school. When she complained of dizziness, headache and nausea, she was told this was normal. Her condition worsened after her second vaccination to such an extent that she soon was unable to attend school. According to her doctors, she was suffering chronic fatigue syndrome but whatever the experts chose to call these debilitating conditions, the girls and their families are united in their conviction that they became ill after their HPV vaccinations ( TV3 Ireland, 2016, in Lobato 2017)

According to an article written in Trinity News, the rate of HPV vaccination in Irish schools has dropped by 10% over the past year. When you read that there is believed to be more than 800 cases of adverse events suffered by Irish girls following the Gardasil vaccination it is a wonder that the rates  haven’t fallen further. The author of Numbers of Irish students opting for the HPV Vaccine drops considerably Caoimhe Gordon sets out to explore why this is happening. Gordon quotes Professor Kingston Mills of the Experimental Immunology department at Trinity who points the finger at the internet and social media and urges “parents to focus on the scientific evidence and not “hearsay” that can be found online.” The news that the rate of immunisation in Ireland has tumbled to 70% has experts concerned that the “universal acceptance of the vaccine” in no longer guaranteed. Gordon blames the anti-vaccination campaigns which are run by the group REGRET (Reactions and Effects of Gardasil Resulting in Trauma) which is made up of parents of the Irish girls who have become ill. Their daughters are sick and many struggle to get out of bed and complain of headaches and joint pain and extreme tiredness.

Around 300 Irish women are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually and the death toll is around 90 so it is safe to say there is no cervical cancer epidemic in Ireland. But now we have huge numbers – around 800 young girls who from all accounts were active and healthy before they had their Gardasil shots and are now very ill. The parents are fighting hard to get help for their daughters. Like so many other sick girls and now boys around the world they are not receiving effective medical treatment. They are often not able to go to school due to their devastating health conditions.

Irish philanthropist Jonathan Irwin has joined the struggle to achieve justice for Gardasil Girls. Irwin who is the founder of Jack & Jill charity for sick children, explains how the Gardasil HPV vaccine has injured his daughter Molly who remains ill. Irwin regards the vaccine as a “disaster” and “useless.”He has stepped down from his position as CEO to care for his daughter who is bedridden, following what he says was a severe reaction to the Gardasil vaccine. He says this vaccine should never have been included in the national program. One solicitor he knows has 75 cases which will be taken to the courts. Irwin doesn’t rule out using the courts himself in an attempt to get justice for his daughter and the other ‘Gardasil Girls’. “My teenage girl has lost her teenage life,” says Irwin.  Irwin also wants a review of the vaccine. He insists that if he had known about the side effects he wouldn’t have allowed his daughter to be given Gardasil. He urges parents to read the vaccine leaflet which lists the side effects in black and white. The fact that the severe side effects of this vaccine are listed on the prescriber information found on the manufacturer Merck’s website is an important point because it means that the makers of this vaccine knew the real problems with this vaccine but went ahead and marketed this so-called cervical cancer vaccine. This is outrageous!

Jeffrey Jaxen is a researcher and journalist who says that the interesting thing about the case of the girls who have been damaged after Gardasil, is that unlike babies who can’t speak and say that they were feeling great before they had a vaccine, the Gardasil Girls can speak and are doing so. He says that each culture is handling this disaster differently and a lot of how they do this has to do with how they handled revolt in the past – “the memory of each culture’s revolting spirit”. He gives the example of the Irish mothers who are “fiery” and about whom he says “are kicking some major butt.” In Ireland these activist mothers have got the issue on the mainstream and are keeping it there (The Truth about Vaccines, 2017).

I am pleased that there are now many people who are waking up to the huge error that is this vaccine, one that has not been shown to prevent a single case of cervical cancer. I have spoken to many young women about how they have been damaged after Gardasil, just another one yesterday told me about how the vaccine nearly killed her. She had spent too many years and far too much money on finding a cure for her vaccine injury. I have also met and spoken to a young passionate man whose New Zealand cousin died after receiving Gardasil. His activism had become even stronger for his sister was now having severe menstrual problems after her course of the HPV vaccine.

Paediatrician and author Dr Paul Thomas calls Gardasil his least favourite vaccine. One reason is because the placebo that was used was aluminium when a placebo should be an inert normal saline solution. By using aluminium as a placebo the vaccine appears less dangerous. He states that the research into the vaccine was stopped early and the vaccine fast-tracked after researchers found some decrease in the cases of cervical dysplasia. His assessment of the new Gardasil 9 was even more telling. “There will be more deaths from that vaccine than there ever will be cases of cervical cancer ” (The Truth About Vaccines, 2017).

Cervical cancer is not a communicable disease. There is no need for this vaccine. Cases of cervical cancer have declined especially in western nations where living conditions are good and Pap smear testing is encouraged. As to our next move Jeffrey Jaxen says encouragingly that he is witnessing ‘Medical Disobedience’ in regard to the mandating of vaccines. He says that he has spoken to doctors who have told him that in their rooms they have more oranges with vaccines in them than have the children.  This is so encouraging. May the revolution continue.

Melbourne Launch of Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed by Helen Lobato

To be launched by women’s health researcher Dr Renate Klein

When: Friday June 9

Time: 5 pm for 5.30 pm

Where: Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre, 251 Faraday St, Carlton, Vic 3053

RSVP: Monday June 5 women@spinifexpress.com.au

 

In Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed Helen Lobato argues that we do not know whether HPV vaccines will decrease the incidence of cervical cancer. What is emerging, however, is evidence of their harmful effects. In 2006, the experimental HPV vaccination program began and there have been at least 315 associated deaths and more than 50,000 adverse events following HPV vaccination.

Gardasil was fast-tracked through the FDA, a process usually reserved for life threatening diseases to fill an unmet and urgent medical need. Improved living conditions had already reduced the incidence of cervical cancer significantly in Western countries. So why is the HPV vaccine so heavily promoted in Australia, a country with one of the lowest rates of cervical cancer in the world?

Gardasil: Fast-Tracked and Flawed documents the early history of cervical cancer and tracks its progression from a disease of obscurity to one of mainstream prominence. It includes the stories of vaccinated girls and boys who remain ill after receiving a vaccine purported to prevent a disease they were most unlikely to get. It records the voices of dissenters and resisters who call for an inquiry into HPV vaccines approved for use after a relentless propaganda campaign promoting a vaccine against a virus that many had never heard of.

This in-depth investigation exposes cracks in the pharmaceutical industry and highlights the problems that arise when government regulators and corporate interests are prioritized ahead of patient safety, independent science and common sense.

Gardasil 9

An application has been made by Seqirus Australia to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee to list Gardasil 9 on the National Immunisation Program as a 2-dose schedule for females and males aged 12-13 years as part of a school age program for the prevention of the human papilloma virus HPV. This listing if approved will replace the current 3-dose schedule of Gardasil, the 4-valent HPV vaccine. The committee whose role it is to recommend new medicines for listing on the PBS is due to meet again in July 2017.

Gardasil 9 which was approved for use in Australia by the TGA last year is said to be protective against nine HPV types: 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. On the Gardasil 9 page of Merck’s website, the slogan: Your Child Could Be One Less At Risk For Certain HPV-Related Cancers And Diseases is prominently placed beside several happy, sporty children. Below is the directive to caring parents which reads ‘Help Protect Them With The HPV  Vaccine’. However if this vaccine is anything like its predecessor the 4-valent Gardasil, it is likely to be anything but protective. Currently there are tens of thousands of young girls who have become very ill after having their Gardasil shots. Sanevax records the numbers of young people injured and those who have died after HPV vaccinations. These are figures from the United States recording system VAERS and currently the numbers of adverse events are over 50,000 along with 317 deaths. These numbers are mainly from the USA and some parts of Europe and so these totals are far from accurate. Gardasil is authorised for use in 130 countries and 205 million doses have been administered. One would hope that this carnage could not continue and that the HPV vaccinations programs put on hold but instead there is another vaccine in the mix. Far from being protective this new HPV vaccine contains even more aluminium than the current HPV vaccine Gardasil which contains 225 micrograms.  One shot of Gardasil 9 has 500 mcg of this neurotoxin. Girls and boys will receive two shots of this new HPV vaccine bringing the total amount of aluminium injected into young bodies up to 1000mcg.

In FDA approved Gardasil 9: Malfeasance or Stupidity?, Norma Erickson has examined the Gardasil 9 package insert where she found that the rate of serious adverse events in  the trials of Gardasil 9 was 2.3-2.5%. Doesn’t sound bad but it really is because it means that for every 100,000 people who are given Gardasil 9 there will be 2300 serious adverse events and yet the cervical cancer rate in the US is around 7 women per 100,000. Talk about insanity!

And that’s not all she found when she examined the insert package. During the trials 2.4% of the recipients developed an autoimmune disorder which means that 2400 people could now be suffering from new diseases just because they had this new Gardasil injection. There was also bad news for women who became pregnant during the trials in that 14.1% suffered adverse outcomes. Erickson notes that those who were in the 4-valent Gardasil trials suffered similar and even higher rates of adverse outcomes of 17%. In all  313 women either lost their babies to spontaneous abortion or late fetal death or gave birth to children with congenital anomalies.

Will Gardasil 9 be listed on the PBS after July this year? Or will the PBAC whose job it is to recommend medicines for listing disapprove Seqirus’s request as occurred in November 2006 when CSL applied for the listing of  the 4-valent Gardasil? On that occasion the decision not to recommend Gardasil was overturned when Prime Minister John Howard stepped in and promised the public that the vaccine would be approved. In the interests of our children and grandchildren we can hope that Gardasil 9 is not listed on the PBS and if it is we will have to be even more vocal in our opposition to this unnecessary vaccination program that has so far failed to prevent one case of cervical cancer.

Vaccines DO cause autism

 

vaxxed-1200x627-facebook-link

The U.S Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) altered their analysis plan based on their research on the safety of the MMR so that the risk of autism from the vaccine was shown not to be significant.

Autism was unheard of before 1930. In 1978 the prevalence of autism was around 1 in 15,000 children. But around the early 1990s there was an exponential growth in the disease coinciding with a massive increase in the number of vaccines given to babies and children. In 1950 children would have received around 7 vaccines by the age of 6. Fast forward to 2016 where by the time they go to school they would have been given at least 41 or even 46 if they get the recommended flu shots. Seriously there has to be something very wrong with this childhood vaccination policy. And there is.

screen-shot-2016-10-23-at-3-41-11-pmIn 1995 Dr Andrew Wakefield, a world-renowned gastroenterologist received a call from a mother telling him about her child who had become autistic after his Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine (MMR). Vaccines were not Wakefield’s field but the mother insisted that her child had terrible gastrointestinal issues and that was why she was seeking his help. Subsequently he heard a succession of similar stories whereupon further research led to the discovery that there was a link between a novel type of intestinal inflammation and autism following the MMR vaccination. Wakefield’s finding was reported in the Lancet with the disclaimer that the work did not prove an association between autism and MMR and that further work was needed. For all his trouble Wakefield was accused of fraud by a journalist Brian Deer writing in the British Medical Journal resulting in the good doctor losing his career and reputation.

 Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe documents the tragedy of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. It features interviews with parents of vaccine-injured childen and doctors and politicians and the voice of the whistleblower and leading scientist from the U.S Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Dr. William Thompson who confesses that the CDC altered the analysis plan of the research into the risks of the MMR vaccine.

screen-shot-2016-10-23-at-6-25-25-pmPolly Tommy, the editor-in-chief of the Autism File tells the story of her second child Billy who straight after his first MMR vaccine at the age of 18 months suffered febrile convulsions and rapidly regressed into autism. The children seen in the film had all been developing normally until the age of 18 months when they were given their MMR shot after which they regressed both in behaviour and development. These were children with no previous health problems who were now autistic. All healthy children whatever race are at risk of autism after the vaccine.

‘ What i have on my hands now is a nineteen- year – old man. He’s six-foot two, he’s volatile. On a good day he is brilliant, he’s an angel.  On bad days the slightest thing can trigger him and he is scary’, says Tommy.

Wakefield discovered that safety studies done on the MMR vaccines were ‘lamentable’ and that it was known since 1987 when the vaccine was used in Canada that is caused meningitis in vaccinated children. It was withdrawn there but later licensed for use in the UK where it also caused meningitis. It should have been destroyed but was shipped for continued use in developing nations such as Brazil where it caused an epidemic of  meningitis. Scientists who studied this epidemic found out that the younger the child got the vaccine the greater risk of meningitis. This led Wakefield to suspect that the earlier a child got the MMR the greater risk of autism. The recommended time for a child to be vaccinated with MMR is 12-18 months.

In hidden data exposed by whistleblower Thompson it was clear that especially for African-American children the most dangerous time to get the vaccine is between the ages of 12 and 18 months. The CDC knew that if African-American children were given MMR vaccine at this time they were 2.6 times more likely than others to become autistic after being given the vaccine. So they altered the analysis plan which describes the rules that scientists will adhere to when doing a study. In order to conceal the effect of the MMR one of the things they did was to reduce the number of children in the study in order to reduce the statistical power – that is the ability of the study to detect a difference if it exists. When it appeared that the risk of autism was greater in African-American children they deviated from the analysis plan so that the risk was not significant.

So there you have it. The CDC had known all along that there was this MMR – autism link. In the USA in 2014 there were 1,082,353 cases of autism and the prediction is that by 2032, 1 in 2 children will be autistic and 80% of the boys. Every 7 minutes in the U.S. a child is diagnosed with autism. Dr Wakefield points out that the problem is with the combination MMR vaccine and urges the use of single vaccines for the diseases measles, mumps and rubella until the problems with the MMR are resolved. However this safe approach does not meet with health officials who say “if we allow this it would destroy the MMR program”.

The film is about the revelations of the dirty dealings at the CDC coming from the whistleblower Dr. William Thompson. The story is told by Del Bigtree, a medical journalist and Polly Tommy along with Dr. Andy Wakefield. Vaxxed was recently  withdrawn from the Castlemaine Local and International Film Festival. The decision to include the film in the festival drew widespread criticism from Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Michael Moore who said that such a decision showed a lack of understanding of the impact the film could have on parents. His sentiments were echoed by Victorian Health Minister Jill Hennessy, who said it was dangerous to promote a message against vaccination. I beg to differ and would urge our public health officials to look at the film before any more children are damaged. The film is being shown all over the USA and copies can be bought online. I suggest that we all get a copy and spread it around and stop the carnage that is resulting from mass vaccines.

Gardasil for babies

 

And the carnage is set to continue. I am extremely distressed to hear that a new clinical trial sponsored by Merck is to look at the effects of the HPV vaccine in infants. Blogger Marcella Piper-Terry says that she has long-feared that Gardasil was to be added to the infant (vaccine) schedule and suggests that it was the plan all along. The Gardasil HPV Vaccine Trial using infants as young as one year of age will look at two of the four strains of HPV contained in the Quadrivalent Gardasil vaccine. Gardasil contains 2 strains of HPV that are said to be associated with cervical cancer. These strains are HPV 16 & 18. The other subtypes, HPV 6 & 11  are not associated with cancer but are said to be associated with recurrent respiratory infections. Piper-Terry points out that babies are at a high risk from respiratory infections and suggests that this predisposition is being used as an excuse to introduce the HPV vaccine to babies.

For those of you who like me are stunned about this next move by the vaccine industry Piper-Terry reminds us that the CDC has a history of vaccinating infants for sexually transmitted diseases. Babies are routinely given the Hepatitis B vaccine on the first day of life. Hepatitis B vaccine was first introduced and given to adults at risk of the disease such those who engaged in promiscuous sex,  IV drug users and hospital workers at risk of blood-borne diseases, along with people who were incarcerated or institutionalized. But the Hepatits B vaccine turned out not to be as popular as Merck the manufacturer would have liked and just as is happening with Gardasil not enough people were willing participants and so the vaccine was made part of the infant schedule. This is very bad health policy.

I remember in the 1990s when Hepatitis B was introduced into my home state of Victoria that part of the government-derived hospital funding was dependent on the vaccination of babies with Hepatitis B. This was and is nothing short of corrupt! How this is not questioned by more parents whose newborn babies are given this genetically engineered vaccine containing formaldehyde, a probable cancer-causing agent, and aluminium, a potent neurotoxin and other chemicals that have no place in anyone’s bloodstream, is beyond me. Regrettably the Hepatitis B vaccine has been on the infant schedule for many years now and to think that babies may be injected and damaged with Gardasil as well is abhorrent. It is criminal to lower the age when HPV vaccines are given for it is a vaccine that is associated with the most reported adverse effects.

Young lives that start out full of promise are at the risk of being severely compromised by injecting these unnecessary genetically engineered vaccines containing gross amounts of harmful substances. Is it any wonder that the level of chronic illness is escalating in the general community? There are many days when I find the sickness industry just too much to bear.

Not Vaccinated? No Kisses!

 

Grandparents and friends of newborn babies are getting their Tdap vaccine – said to offer the best prevention for adults against pertussis, tetanus, and diphtheria. It’s for the pertussis part of the vaccine (whooping cough) that they are being vaccinated. This practice of vaccinating friends and family of the new baby is called Cocooning –  under the premise that in doing so, the infant will be protected from getting whooping cough.

All great for the vaccine industry that is worth close to $24 billion and estimated to see $61 billion in profits by 2020. However the Pertussis vaccination lasts only about three years. It has a very short shelf life.

Pertussis outbreaks cannot be blamed on unvaccinated people. Those coughing with Pertussis can be vaccinated or unvaccinated. Studies have found that the majority of those with pertussis had been vaccinated.Pertussis vaccines have been used for 60 years and the pertussis organism has evolved to become resistant- it is adapting to highly immunised populations.

Vaccines are promoted on the back of the promise of herd immunity. Herd 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. But vaccine -induced herd immunity is a myth because vaccine immunity doesn’t last long. Herd immunity is not achieved by vaccination but by naturally acquired immunity. When you experience the natural disease immunity from the disease and herd immunity is achieved.

Take the case of the Chicken Pox vaccine – everyone used to get chicken pox and in the process obtained lifelong immunity. In 1995 the Merck vaccine for chicken pox came out. This prevented older children and adults who had already had the disease from being naturally boosted when they came into contact with younger children with chicken pox. This was real herd immunity. But instead of this we now have an epidemic of shingles in children and adults. But then Merck now has a shingles vaccine. Surprise, surprise.

This is crazy. What are we doing to our immune systems when our bodies do not get exposed to viruses and bacteria – when we only get vaccines for every infectious disease?

Much can be learned about the immune system from the research of PHILIP F. INCAO, M.D. There are two compartments to the human immune system. 1. The humoral immune system (or Th2 function) 2. The cellular or cell-mediated immune system (or Th1 function) The humoral immune system produces antibodies in the bloodstream as a response to the presence of foreign antigens in the body. The cellular immune system gets rid of foreign antigens through the work of cells in the thymus, tonsils, adenoids, spleen and the lymph system. This action of ridding the body of foreign antigens is known as an acute inflammatory response of the body. This is manifested by the classical signs such as fever, pain, malaise and discharge of mucus, pus, skin rash or diarrhea.

When we give a vaccination we are greatly stimulating the antibody production (Th2) but there is very little stimulating of the digesting and discharging function of the cellular immune system (Th1).If a vaccine stimulated the whole immune system we would get all the symptoms of disease such as the fever, malaise, pain and discharge. However the vaccine only stimulates the humoral immune system thus avoiding the inflammatory response.

Vaccines don’t boost the immune system but do stimulate the antibody “tasting and remembering” function of the antibody-mediated branch of the immune system and inhibit the body’s ability to fight the disease.

Phillip Incao sums it up like this: Vaccinations are usually effective in preventing an individual from manifesting a particular illness, but they do not improve the overall strength or health of the individual nor of the immune system. Instead, vaccinations modify the reactivity of the immune system, decreasing acute discharging inflammatory reactions and increasing the tendency to chronic allergic and auto-immune reactions.

In the US it costs well over $2000 to fully vaccinate a child. 54% of children in the United States are living with chronic illness.  Back in the 50s and 60s when people still got measles, mumps, rubella, and chicken pox, such levels of ill health were unheard of.  We have traded in infectious disease for chronic autoimmune and neurological disorders.

In the 80s most children were given DPT, MMR, and polio vaccines, and vaccine manufacturers were supposedly going broke from damages. But today they are given hepatitis B at birth, DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal, polio, influenza, MMR, chicken pox, HPV, and meningococcal vaccines, with many more vaccines in the pipeline and the vaccine manufacturers are making a fortune and not paying a cent in damages.

Something has to change. This is a disaster.
