Vaccine Truth: A Battle Already Won*
*NOTE: Additional research papers are available for download: down↓

On April 3, 2000 Sallie Bernard, Albert Enayati, B.S., Ch.E., M.S.M.E., Teresa Binstock, Heidi Roger, Lyn Redwood, R.N., M.S.N., C.R.N.P. and Woody McGinnis, M.D. published a paper entitled Autism: A Unique Type of Mercury Poisoning. This detailed study looked at the similarities between Autism and Mercury poisoning, finding an astounding correlation between the social, neurological, digestive, epileptic, CNS and immune system abnormalities of the two illnesses, so much so that it lead the investigative scientists to look for a common cause. And they found it, thimerosol (sodium ethylmercurrithio-salicylate), a common ingredient in vaccinations otherwise known as mercury.

And no wonder, the study points out that:
Vaccine injections are a known source of mercury (Plotkin and Orenstein, 1999), and the typical amount of mercury given to infants and toddlers in this manner exceeds government safety limits, according to Neal Halsey of the American Academy of Pediatrics (1999) and William Egan of the Biologics Division of the FDA (1999). Most vaccines given to children 2 years and under are stored in a solution containing thimerosal, which is 49.6% mercury by weight. Once inside humans, thimerosal (sodium ethylmercurrithio-salicylate) is metabolized to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate (Gosselin et al, 1984). The vaccines mixed with this solution are DTaP, HIB, and Hepatitis B (Egan, 1999).

This discovery was hit with a media campaign slamming the research, despite its clear validity. The counter research was conducted by National Academies Press, National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Research Council, which is, in reality, a single organization split up into its respective sectors. The findings were published in a study entitled the Immunization Safety Review.

This is what the committee claimed it found:
The committee’s primary finding is that a number of epidemiological studies (both uncontrolled and controlled) provide no support for an association on a population level between MMR immunization and ASD (Dales et al., 2001; Gillberg and Heijbel, 1998; Kaye et al., 2001; Patja et al., 2000; Peltola et al., 1998; Taylor et al., 1999).

But there was a problem with the rebuttal research. All of the research was specific to the MMR vaccine, when the original study done by Bernard was comparing Autism to Mercury poisoning. It is well known that ALL vaccinations currently on the market, including Hepatitus B, DTaP, HiP, Polio (IPV),  PCV 13, Rotavirus, Influenza and H1N1, contain mercury as a preservative.

The word ‘thimerosol’ was then thrown into the ring after three studies were published between 2003-2004: Thimerosal and autism? A plausible hypothesis that should not be dismissed and Neurotoxic effects of postnatal thimerosal are mouse strain dependent.


A new scientific study published in The Lancet reveals that influenza vaccines only prevent influenza in 1.5 out of every 100 adults who are injected with the flu vaccine. Yet, predictably, this report is being touted by the quack science community, the vaccine-pushing CDC and the scientifically-inept mainstream media as proof that “flu vaccines are 60% effective!” Learn more.

Several other studies and research papers were also released over the next 6 years that implicated mercury as a key factor in causing brain damage and cellular abnormalities, such as difficulty producing heme, the structured center of blood’s hemoglobin.

There have yet to be any studies that directly contradict the clear evidence. For example, the study Association Between Thimerosal-Containing Vaccine and Autism; Anders Hviid, MSc; Michael Stellfeld, MD; Jan Wohlfahrt, MSc; Mads Melbye, MD, PhD, found that thimerosal did not appear to have any significant impact concerning Autism. However, in reading the paper, it is clear the scientists and doctors have made rookie or intentional mistakes. They state:

Although doses administered after June 1, 1992, were considered thimerosal-free, it is conceivable that a few thimerosal-containing doses may have been administered during the months after this date.

Whether or not the children in the study received thimerosal containing vaccines is unknown. If they had used the data from two years later accuracy would not have been an issue. The timing and administration of this paper was poorly carried out, leaving holes in the data, making the study worthless due to its assumptive nature.

This trend of faulty, falsified and illogically compiled studies attempting to contradict thimerosal and mercury research continues today as new evidence, data and papers emerge.

The rabbit hole goes deeper when statistics start to play a role. Here are some statistics:
This first graph indicates that number of children vaccinated correlates with the number of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

graphj


Here, the increase in Autism in the UK increases not only with the number of vaccinations given, but with the variety of vaccinations.

graph2


This Graph, from Immunization Graphs: Natural Infectious Disease Declines, clearly shows that the Measles vaccine had nothing to do with population recovery from its dangers. People became naturally resistant before the vaccine was even introduced.

graph3



Here is a prime example of the effectiveness of a vaccine. It is 99% effective, if you are trying to contract the measles!

What do They Admit?
A
longside the clear results of vaccine research, there is the addmittance of the companies that produce these vaccinations. This section was taken from the HIBERIX insert:

HIBERIX PRODUCT INFORMATION*: Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine
Local reactions: Very common: redness (>2.0cm) ; Common: pain, swelling (>2.0cm)
Body as a whole: Very common: fever; Common: viral infection; Uncommon: asthenia, fatigue, injury; Rare: allergic reactions, including anaphylactoid reactions
Dermatological: Common: rash erythematous, injection site reaction; Uncommon: sweating increased, purpura
Gastrointestinal: Very common: loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea; Common: gastroenteritis; Uncommon: abdominal pain
Musculoskeletal: Uncommon: spastic paralysis
Nervous System: Very common: restlessness, unusual crying; Common: nervousness, somnolence; Uncommon: insomnia, emotional lability
Respiratory: Common: rhinitis, coughing, respiratory disorder, upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis
Special Senses: Common: conjunctivitis, otitis media
Immune system disorders: Very rare: allergic reactions (including anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions), angioedema
Nervous system disorders: Very rare: hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode, convulsion (with or without fever), syncope or vasovagal responses to injection, somnolence
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: Very rare: apnoea [see PRECAUTIONS].
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Very rare: urticaria, rash
General disorders and administration site conditions: Very rare: extensive swelling of vaccinated limb, injection site induration

What they don't tell you here is that the common symptoms very often NEVER subside. Thus things like unusual crying, nervousness and somnolence are constant and then become the symptoms of autism itself. So what seems like a mild reaction is actually a continuous, never-ending cycle of a overly fussy and brain damaged child. Yet this is hidden by the fact that no duration of symptoms is indicated. And this is their own influenza insert warning manual! Would you risk these illnesses with yourself? Think of how much more susceptible your child is! And think also about how an infants development can be blamed for disease caused by vaccines. That's the very line they use, its just statistics, you baby was destine to be autistic!

Such symptoms would drive any parent insane, it would push anyone to the brink of insanity to have a child that is completely dependent on a parent, a parent with financial responsibilities.

Cases of Vaccine Injuries
This is the most disturbing part of vaccinations, the injuries to children. If you really want to hear a lot of different cases, from everyday people, join the facebook page Vaccine reactions and injuries photo gallery and to look at kids who have never had a vaccination join the Vaccine-Free Children Photo Gallery.

The following are actual testimonials from parents who've vaccinated their children.

Polio← Sabin Polio
I state that my three children affected by vaccine reaction, were born perfectly healthy and that the manifestations of the disease appeared only after the first Sabin polio vaccine.

mmrMMR/HepB →
Ella is paralyzed and on a pressure ventilater as her motor nerves are thought to be damaged, she is today in a state similiar to "locked in syndrome" shes is in there I can see my girl in her eyes but she cant talk anymore and walk but she is trying so hard , she feels pain,she cries a silent cry, and just been threw hell, all because I didnt know my baby wasnt strong enough to get a vaccination.

Hepatitis B
The baby they brought back to me was not the same baby they left with. This was not my calm, serene baby. This baby cried furiously, refused to fall asleep in the bassinet, or even be put down. I joked several times that we had a baby mix-up going on here but I tried to dismiss all thoughts that maybe…just maybe the vaccine did this

hepBHepatitis B
This photo was taken 9 days after the vaccination and he died when he was 47 days old, so that almost his whole life was one of agonising suffering - all for the sake of profits and medical BS dogma. :-(

DTaP
This is my beautiful 10 month old. I gave him his DTaP at 3 months (a little late bc he was ill at 2 months old). He began having seizures from it and they never went away. He also developed several allergies and has celiacs.

GardasilGardasil
The toddler was mistakenly injected with the Gardasil vaccine, given to teenage girls to prevent cervical cancer, when he was just six weeks old, but doctors cannot say whether the vaccine caused the deadly disease.

Curing Autism: It IS Possible
Another huge piece of this conspiracy is hiding any and all possible cures. There has been an outpouring of research into solutions for those victimized by thimerosal, such as the intake of glutathione, which preliminary research has shown a reversal effect, most efficiently in younger patients. Here are a few: Glutathione in the treatment of autism: a preliminary investigation, Autism Treatments: Chelation of Mercury, Summary of Biomedical Treatments for Autism and Max's Story: A Homeopathic Cure of Autism.

Glutathione is one such cure that, when used early, can detox a child enough to reverse the effects; look into sites like oneworldwhey.com for info.

If your child suffers from insomnia, abnormally fussy eating, a high pitched scream or digestive problems as well as abnormal social behaviour it is likely that Thimerosal has played a much larger factor than you have been lead to believe. Doctors are trained to bow down to big pharma and trust untested drugs and vaccinations, know better for you and your family. Ignorance is the enemy!
