Trend making people sick


Published: Tue, December 20, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m.

The Portland (Maine) Press Herald: There is a national trend that is making people sick, and Maine is along for the ride.

The trend is to forgo vaccinations for what should be preventable childhood diseases, and it is something that ought to stop. Children are getting needlessly exposed to viruses that could kill them or cause lifelong health problems.

Parents should take their responsibility seriously and get these children the immunities they need.

The results of this trend are becoming visible. Maine had 53 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, in 2010. We’ve had 163 in 2011 by the start of this month.

Unvaccinated people who get sick and go to a hospital or doctor’s office can spread the disease to people whose immunity is weak. Babies too young to be vaccinated are at risk of catching what could be a life-threatening infection.

There are many reasons for the decline in vaccination rates. However, many people appear to be opting out because they fear the risk of getting sick from the vaccine is greater than the risk of getting sick in a largely vaccinated and immune society. A persistent belief that a preservative used in some vaccines causes autism has driven people away from the shots, even though no study has established such a link and use of the preservative has been largely discontinued.

Here we go again. What a completely uninformative article. Just because there are vaccines for many diseases today, do they all work effectively for all people and is the risk of getting the vaccine higher than getting the actual disease itself? Chicken pox used to be a "Normal" childhood disease that children frequently got and survived. Many believe actually having a disease "for real" strengthens the immune system. Today, we are misled into believing "tricking" the immune system many times over with vaccines is the better way to go. Today children suffer from many chronic diseases that are linked to over-vaccination- asthma, life-threatening allergies, neurological and learning problems such as autism have increased 600%! Vaccines do cause side effects. Read a package insert for all the possible vaccine reactions that include-seizures and death! Vaccine manufacturers say vaccine reactions are rare, but less than 1% of vaccine reactions are reported. Many times when a vaccine reaction occurs people are told it is a "coincidence" and "correlation does not equal causation". If vaccine reactions are not even acknowledged by those giving vaccines what does that tell you? You better educate yourself thoroughly on vaccines-what the diseases are, what ingredients are in the vaccines(like thimerosal-a mercury preservative, aluminum, MSG, antibiotics, industrial strength cleaners to name just a few). Many times children are given multiple vaccines at one time. When in "real life" do people get measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, polio, hepatitis and other diseases at once? We need to stop pretending that vaccines are miracles that only do "good". People are harmed every single day from vaccines that is why we pay a little with each vaccine into a fund that has paid out billions to people harmed by vaccines it is called the national vaccine compensation fund. Vaccine manufacturers have zero liability when it comes to their products-that is why they want you and yours to get so many. If you are harmed it costs them nothing. Pharmacuetical manufacturers are paying out millions sometimes billions over bad products like Vioxx, yet they pay nothing for vaccines that harm. Where is their incentive to make their products as safe as possible? There is none. And when they have doctors and the press misinforming people that all vaccines are good for everyone all this time it's just better profits for them. Vaccines are the gifts that keep on giving to the medical establishment. If you are one of the unlucky ones who suffers a vaccine reaction that causes a long term chronic disease like asthma you will be under a doctors care for years to come treating your new ongoing health problem.

Please do your own homework on vaccines and diseases. You don't get a "do over". Education is key and reading pharma propaganda like this piece will not truly and fully educate you.

The CDC Has Known All Along How Dangerous Vaccines Are - And Has Covered It Up... (Part One) 

The Starting Point...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

I've been working on this story for months.  There are so many parts and paths to it, and the information I have gathered is so shocking, it is simply difficult to write. 

Maybe it is taking so long because I don't want to be the messenger. 

And, I am going to have to break this story up into several parts.

Starting Point...

A man named Brian Hooker PhD has recently filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in Washington DC against the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) demanding that the CDC quit stalling on his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and provide him with the public information he is looking for.  Hooker has been making specific FOIA requests to the CDC since March 11, 2005 on the subject of the CDC's five "Thimerosal in vaccines studies." The CDC claims, falsely, that these five studies prove the safety and efficacy of Thimerosal.

Hooker had adequate reasons to be suspicious of the CDC, and their Thimerosal position.  I will give you those details in another article.

Hooker is a scientist and knows how studies are supposed to be done.  When he examined those five CDC studies he found a number of serious credibility issues with every one of them.  So he began asking questions, and it wasn't long before the CDC shut the door.  Illegally.

The CDC simply did not want a real scientist asking them pointed questions.

Hooker wants the details, including all communications between the parties involved in the studies' communications (letters, emails, etc.).  He has accumulated, over time, a massive amount of information on the subject, and is insistent on getting, and examining, every last piece of paper, email, whatever.  The CDC is falling all over itself trying to keep records away from Brian Hooker.

Hooker has a thirteen year old son with Autism. As usual, Brian Hooker's son was just fine prior to being vaccinated.

I have seen what Brian Hooker has already gathered and on the basis of that alone I can easily reach the conclusion, as you would, that:

The CDC Has Known All Along How Dangerous Vaccines Are - and Has Covered It Up...

What I am going to tell you about in this article is that the anti-vaccination movement is absolutely right in their concerns about the vaccine situation, and, in fact, many parts of the movement would be far more upset if they knew what I NOW KNOW.

The situation is far worse than you can imagine.

So, let's begin...

Where we are...

There is a massive vaccine construction based in the United States that controls an integral part of the world-wide health care offering.
