The article below was a small section of my book,
AIDS
Inc., which I wrote in 1987-8. At the time, I
decided to take a look at vaccines and see what I could find out
about them, because questions were being raised about the possible
disease/toxic effects of a relatively new hepatitis-B vaccine, and
its possible connection to AIDS.
My ensuing research led me into all sorts of surprising areas.
Since the period of 1987-8, much more has come to light about
vaccine safety and efficacy. I’ve made no attempt to update my
findings. They stand on their own, and reveal that, in the historical
record, much has been lost, forgotten, and misplaced.
For years, critics on the fringes of medicine have pointed to
problems with vaccines. It is generally acknowledged that, given to
people whose immune systems are compromised, they can be
immunosuppressive.
And from time to time, stories have surfaced about vaccines which
have been dangerously contaminated by extraneous viruses or bacteria,
as a result of the manufacturing process.
We are taught to believe that untoward reactions to vaccines are
rare, and that there has never been a question about the overwhelming
success of all vaccines at all times, wherever they have been used.
The history of vaccines, though, shows a much more disturbing
record than one might think. Here is a series of excerpts from
authors on the subject. It is a quite different slant on vaccines.
“The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria,
whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen shows that
nearly 90 percent of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and
1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and
widespread immunization. In part, this recession may be attributed to
improved housing and to a decrease in the virulence of
micro-organisms, but by far the most important factor was a higher
host-resistance due to better nutrition.” Ivan Illich, Medical
Nemesis, Bantam Books, 1977
“In a recent British outbreak of whooping cough, for example,
even fully immunized children contracted the disease in fairly large
numbers; and the rates of serious complications and death were
reduced only slightly. In another recent outbreak of pertussis, 46 of
the 85 fully immunized children studied eventually contracted the
disease.
“In 1977, 34 new cases of measles were reported on the campus of
UCLA, in a population that was supposedly 91% immune, according to
careful serological testing. Another 20 cases of measles were
reported in the Pecos, New Mexico, area within a period of a few
months in 1981, and 75% of them had been fully immunized, some of
them quite recently. A survey of sixth-graders in a well-immunized
urban community revealed that about 15% of this age group are still
susceptible to rubella, a figure essentially identical with that of
the pre-vaccine era.” Richard Moskowitz, MD, The Case Against
Immunizations, 1983, American Institute of Homeopathy.
“Of all reported whooping cough cases between 1979 and 1984 in
children over 7 months of age – that is, old enough to have
received the primary course of the DPT shots (diphtheria, pertussis,
tetanus) – 41% occurred in children who had received three or more
shots and 22% in children who had one or two immunizations.
“Among children under 7 months of age who had whooping cough,
34% had been immunized between one and three times…
“… Based on the only U.S. findings on adverse DPT reactions,
an FDA-financed study at the University of California, Los Angeles,
one out of every 350 children will have a convulsion; one in 180
children will experience high-pitched screaming; and one in 66 will
have a fever of 105 degrees or more.” Jennifer Hyman, Democrat and
Chronicle, Rochester, New York, special supplement on DPT, dated
April, 1987.
“A study undertaken in 1979 at the University of California, Los
Angeles, under the sponsorship of the Food and Drug Administration,
and which has been confirmed by other studies, indicates that in the
U.S.A. approximately 1,000 infants die annually as a direct result of
DPT vaccinations, and these are classified as SIDS (Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome) deaths. These represent about 10 to 15% of the total
number of SIDS deaths occurring annually in the U.S.A. (between 8,000
and 10,000 depending on which statistics are used).” Leon Chaitow,
Vaccination and Immunization, CW Daniel Company Limited, Saffron
Walden, Essex, England, 1987.
“Assistant Secretary of Health Edward Brandt, Jr., MD,
testifying before the U.S. Senate Committee on Labor and Human
Resources, rounded… figures off to 9,000 cases of convulsions,
9,000 cases of collapse, and 17,000 cases of high-pitched screaming
for a total of 35,000 acute neurological reactions occurring within
forty-eight hours of a DPT shot among America’s children every
year.” DPT: A Shot in the Dark, by Harris L. Coulter and Barbara
Loe Fischer, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
“While 70-80% of British children were immunized against
pertussis in 1970-71, the rate is now 39%. The committee predicts
that the next pertussis epidemic will probably turn out to be more
severe than the one in 1974/75. However, they do not explain why, in
1970/71, there were more than 33,000 cases of pertussis with 41 fatal
cases among the very well immunized British child population; whereas
in 1974/75, with a declining rate of vaccination, a pertussis
epidemic caused only 25,000 cases with 25 fatalities.” Wolfgang
Ehrengut, Lancet, Feb. 18, 1978, p. 370.
“… Barker and Pichichero, in a prospective study of 1232
children in Denver, Colorado, found after DTP that only 7% of those
vaccinated were free from untoward reactions, which included pyrexia
(53%), acute behavioral changes (82%), prolonged screaming (13%), and
listlessness, anorexia and vomiting. 71% of those receiving second
injections of DTP experienced two or more of the reactions
monitored.” Lancet, May 28, 1983, p. 1217
“Publications by the World Health Organization show that
diphtheria is steadily declining in most European countries,
including those in which there has been no immunization. The decline
began long before vaccination was developed. There is certainly no
guarantee that vaccination will protect a child against the disease;
in fact, over 30,000 cases of diphtheria have been recorded in the
United Kingdom in fully immunized children.” Leon Chaitow,
Vaccination and Immunization, p. 58.
“Pertussis (whooping cough) immunization is controversial, as
the side effects have received a great deal of publicity. The counter
claim is that the effectiveness and protection offered by the
procedure far outweigh the possible ill effects… annual deaths, per
million children, from this disease over the period from 1900 to the
mid-nineteen seventies, shows that from a high point of just under
900 deaths per million children (under age 15) in 1905, the decline
has been consistent and dramatic. There had been a lowering of
mortality rates of approximately 80% by the time immunization was
introduced on a mass scale, in the mid-nineteen fifties. The decline
has continued, albeit at a slower rate, ever since. No credit can be
given to vaccination for the major part of the decline since it was
not in use.” Chaitow, Vaccination and Immunization, p. 63.
“… the swine-flu vaccination program was one of its (CDC)
greatest blunders. It all began in 1976 when CDC scientists saw that
a virus involved in a flu attack outbreak at Fort Dix, N.J., was
similar to the swine-flu virus that killed 500,000 Americans in 1918.
Health officials immediately launched a 100-million dollar program to
immunize every American. But the expected epidemic never
materialized, and the vaccine led to partial paralysis in 532 people.
There were 32 deaths.” U.S. News and World Report, Joseph Carey,
October 14, 1985, p. 70, “How Medical Sleuths Track Killer
Diseases.”
“Despite (cases) in which (smallpox) vaccination plainly failed
to protect the population, and despite the rampant side-effects of
the methods, the proponents of vaccination continued their attempts
to justify the methods by claims that the disease had declined in
Europe as a whole during the period of its compulsory use. If the
decline could be correlated with the use of the vaccination, then all
else could be set aside, and the advantage between its current low
incidence could be shown to outweigh the periodic failures of the
method, and to favour the continued use of vaccination. However, the
credit for the decline in the incidence of smallpox could not be
given to vaccination. The fact is that its incidence declined in all
parts of Europe, whether or not vaccination was employed.” Chaitow,
Vaccination and Immunization, pp. 6-7.
“Smallpox, like typhus, has been dying out (in England) since
1780. Vaccination in this country has largely fallen into disuse
since people began to realize how its value was discredited by the
great smallpox epidemic of 1871-2 (which occurred after extensive
vaccination).” W. Scott Webb, A Century of Vaccination, Swan
Sonnenschein, 1898.
“In this incident (Kyoto, Japan, 1948) – the most serious of
its kind – a toxic (vaccine) batch of alum-precipitated toxoid
(APT) was responsible for illness in over 600 infants and for no
fewer than 68 deaths.
“On 20 and 22 October, 1948, a large number of babies and
children in the city of Kyoto received their first injection of APT.
On the 4th and 5th of November, 15,561 babies and children aged some
months to 13 years received their second dose. One to two days later,
606 of those who had been injected fell ill. Of these, 9 died of
acute diphtheritic paralysis in seven to fourteen days, and 59 of
late paralysis mainly in four to seven weeks.” Sir Graham Wilson,
Hazards of Immunization, Athone Press, University of London, 1967.
“Accidents may, however, follow the use of this so-called killed
(rabies) vaccine owing to inadequate processing. A very serious
occurrence of this sort occurred at Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, in
1960. No fewer than 18 out of 66 persons vaccinated with Fermi’s
carbolized (rabies) vaccine suffered from encephalomyelitis and every
one of the eighteen died.” Sir Graham Wilson, Hazards of
Immunization.
“At a press conference in Washington on 24 July, 1942, the
Secretary of War reported that 28,585 cases of jaundice had been
observed in the (American) Army between 1 January and 4 July after
yellow fever vaccination, and of these 62 proved fatal.” Sir Graham
Wilson, Hazards of Immunization.
“The world’s biggest trial (conducted in south India) to
assess the value of BCG tuberculosis vaccine has made the startling
revelation that the vaccine ‘does not give any protection against
bacillary forms of tuberculosis.’ The study said to be ‘most
exhaustive and meticulous,’ was launched in 1968 by the Indian
Council of Medical Research (ICMR) with assistance from the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in
Atlanta, Georgia.
“The incidence of new cases among the BCG vaccinated group was
slightly (but statistically insignificantly) higher than in the
control group, a finding that led to the conclusion that BCG’s
protective effect ‘was zero.'” New Scientist, November 15, 1979,
as quoted by Hans Ruesch in Naked Empress, Civis Publishers,
Switzerland, 1982.
“Between 10 December 1929 and 30 April 1930, 251 of 412 infants
born in Lubeck received three doses of BCG vaccine by the mouth
during the first ten days of life. Of these 251, 72 died of
tuberculosis, most of them in two to five months and all but one
before the end of the first year. In addition, 135 suffered from
clinical tuberculosis but eventually recovered; and 44 became
tuberculin-positive but remained well. None of the 161 unvaccinated
infants born at the time was affected in this way and none of these
died of tuberculosis within the following three years.” Hazards of
Immunization, Wilson.
“We conducted a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial
to test the efficacy of the 14-valent pneumococcal capsular
polysaccharide vaccine in 2295 high-risk patients… Seventy-one
episodes of proved or probable pneumococcal pneumonia or bronchitis
occurred among 63 of the patients (27 placebo recipients and 36
vaccine recipients)… We were unable to demonstrate any efficacy of
the pneumococcal vaccine in preventing pneumonia or bronchitis in
this population.” New England Journal of Medicine, November 20,
1986, p. 1318, Michael Simberkoff et al.
“But already before Salk developed his vaccine, polio had been
constantly regressing; the 39 cases out of every 100,000 inhabitants
registered in 1942 had gradually diminished from year to year until
they were reduced to only 15 cases in 1952… according to M. Beddow
Baylay, the English surgeon and medical historian.” Slaughter of
the Innocent, Hans Reusch, Civitas Publish ers, Switzerland, and
Swain, New York, 1983.
“Many published stories and reports have stated, implied and
otherwise led professional people and the public to believe that the
sharp reduction of cases (and of deaths) from poliomyelitis in 1955
as compared to 1954 is attributable to the Salk vaccine… That it is
a misconception follows from these considerations. The number of
children inoculated has been too small to account for the decrease.
The sharp decrease was apparent before the inoculations began or
could take effect and was of the same order as the decrease following
the immediate post-inoculation period.” Dr. Herbert Ratner, Child
and Family, vol. 20, no. 1, 1987.
“So far it is hardly possible to gain insight into the extent of
the immunization catastrophe of 1955 in the United States. It may be
considered certain that the officially ascertained 200 cases (of
polio) which were caused directly or indirectly by the (polio)
vaccination constitute minimum figures… It can hardly be estimated
how many of the 1359 (polio) cases among vaccinated persons must be
regarded as failures of the vaccine and how many of them were
infected by the vaccine. A careful study of the epidemiologic course
of polio in the United States yields indications of grave
significance. In numerous states of the U.S.A., typical early
epidemics developed with the immunizations in the spring of 1955…
The vaccination incidents of the year 1955 cannot be exclusively
traced back to the failure of one manufacturing firm.” Dr. Herbert
Ratner, Child and Family, 1980, vol. 19, no. 4, “Story of the Salk
Vaccine (Part 2).”
“Suffice it to say that most of the large (polio) epidemics that
have occurred in this country since the introduction of the Salk
vaccine have followed the wide-scale use of the vaccine and have been
characterized by an uncommon early seasonal onset. To name a few,
there is the Massachusetts epidemic of 1955; the Chicago epidemic of
1956; and the Des Moines epidemic of 1959.” Dr. Herbert Ratner,
Child and Family, 1980 vol. 19, no. 4.
“The live (Sabin) poliovirus vaccine has been the predominant
cause of domestically arising cases of paralytic poliomyelitis in the
United States since 1972. To avoid the occurrence of such cases, it
would be necessary to discontinue the routine use of live poliovirus
vaccine.” Jonas Salk, Science, March 4, 1977, p. 845.
“By the (U.S.) government’s own admission, there has been a
41% failure rate in persons who were previously vaccinated against
the (measles) virus.” Dr. Anthony Morris, John Chriss, BG Young,
“Occurrence of Measles in Previously Vaccinated Individuals,”
1979; presented at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology
at Fort Detrick, Maryland, April 27, 1979.
“Prior to the time doctors began giving rubella (German measles)
vaccinations, an estimated 85% of adults were naturally immune to the
disease (for life). Because of immunization, the vast majority of
women never acquire natural immunity (or lifetime protection).” Dr.
Robert Mendelsohn, Let’s Live, December 1983, as quoted by Carolyn
Reuben in the LA WEEKLY, June 28, 1985.
“Adminstration of KMV (killed measles vaccine) apparently set in
motion an aberrant immunologic response that not only failed to
protect children against natural measles, but resulted in heightened
susceptibility.” JAMA Aug. 22, 1980, vol. 244, p. 804, Vincent
Fulginiti and Ray Helfer. The authors indicate that such falsely
protected children can come down with “an often severe, atypical
form of measles. Atypical measles is characterized by fever,
headache… and a diverse rash (which)… may consist of a mixture of
macules, papules, vesicles, and pustules… ”
The above quotes reflect only a mere fraction of an available
literature which shows there is a need for an extensive review of
vaccination. It is certain that undisclosed, unlooked for illness
occurs as a result of vaccines, or as a result of infection after
protective immunity should have been conferred but wasn’t. A
certain amount of this sort of illness is immunosuppressive in the
widest sense, and some in a narrower sense (depression of T-cell
numbers, etc.).
When looking for unusual illness and immune
depression, vaccines are one of those areas which remain partially
hidden from investigation. That is a mistake. (Emphasis
added)
It is not adequate to say, “Vaccines are simple; they stimulate
the immune system and confer immunity against specific germ agents.”
That is the glossy presentation. What vaccines often do is something
else. They engage some aspect of the body’s immune-response, but to
what effect over the long term? Why, for example, do children who
have measles vaccine develop a susceptibility to another more severe,
atypical measles? Is that virulent form of the disease the result of
reactivation of the virus in the vaccine?
Official
reports on vaccine reactions are often at odds with unofficial
estimates because of the method of analysis used. If
vaccine-reaction is defined as a small set of possible effects
experienced within 72 hours of an inoculation, then figures will be
smaller. But doctors like G.T. Stewart, of the University of Glasgow,
have found through meticulous investigation, including visits to
hospitals and interviews with parents of vaccinated children, that
reactions as severe as brain-damage (e.g., from the DPT vaccine) can
be overlooked, go unreported and can be assumed mistakenly to have
come from other causes.
