Oncology Dietitian Exposes Fraud in CDC’s HPV Vaccine Effectiveness Study
Story at-a-glance

An oncology dietitian has pointed out significant discrepancies in a new HPV vaccine effectiveness study that claims the vaccine’s effectiveness is “high”
Recent reductions in HPV infection prevalence among young women in the US cannot be said to be due to introduction of Gardasil vaccine in 2006 and use of HPV vaccines by pre-teen and teenage girls since then; the data clearly shows that unvaccinated girls had the best outcome
In 2007-2010, HPV prevalence dropped 27.3 percent in the unvaccinated girls, but only declined by 5.8 percent in the vaccinated group. In four out of five different measures, the unvaccinated girls had a lower incidence of HPV
According to Merck’s own research before Gardasil was licensed, if you’ve been exposed to HPV strains 16 or 18 prior to receiving Gardasil vaccine, you could increase your risk of precancerous lesions by 44.6 percent.
Judicial Watch has received previously withheld documents from the DDHS, which reveal that the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has awarded $5,877,710 to 49 victims for harm resulting from the HPV vaccine

Medicines in Development: Vaccines
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 11, 2013) – America’s biopharmaceutical companies are currently developing 271 vaccines to prevent – and in some cases treat – a variety of conditions, including infectious diseases, various forms of cancer and neurological disorders, according to a new report by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). The report is being released in conjunction with PhRMA’s 2013 Research and Hope Awards, which are honoring outstanding achievements in vaccine research and immunization by individuals and organizations in the medical innovation ecosystem.
For many years, vaccines have been used to successfully prevent devastating infectious diseases such as smallpox, measles and polio. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 10 infectious diseases have been at least 90 percent eradicated in the United States as a result of vaccines. These innovations and subsequent immunization efforts have protected millions of children and families from needless illness.
“Biopharmaceutical research companies are working with partners across the ecosystem to apply new scientific approaches to the development of both preventative and therapeutic vaccines,” said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. “The nearly 300 vaccines in the pipeline provide great hope for protecting and improving public health in the United States and across the globe.”
The 271 vaccines in development span a wide array of diseases, and employ exciting new scientific strategies and technologies. These potential vaccines – all in human clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – include 137 for infectious diseases, 99 for cancer, 15 for allergies and 10 for neurological disorders. Examples include:
A therapeutic vaccine for HIV infection intended to delay disease progression.
A monoclonal antibody vaccine that targets both pandemic and seasonal influenza.
A genetically-modified vaccine designed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
An irradiated vaccine for protection against malaria.
Today, there are 204 active clinical trials for vaccines in the U.S., including 107 that have not yet started recruiting patients or are just now seeking volunteers to participate.

Medicines in Development
Each patient battling a disease or managing a chronic condition lives in the hope that tomorrow will bring a new medicine that delivers better health. America’s biopharmaceutical research companies share the same goal, constantly developing new medicines that can prevent diseases, improve patients’ health, and save lives.
Since 2000, more than 500 new medicines have been approved by the FDA, helping patients live longer, healthier lives. Medications are transforming many cancers into treatable conditions, reducing the impact of cardiovascular disease, offering new options for patients with hard-to-treat diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and fighting even the rarest conditions. Explore the medicines in development for a wide range of diseases below.

New Published Italian Study: MICRO and NANO-CONTAMINATION in VACCINES
Scientists, Dr. Antonietta Gatti & Stefano Montanari, have studied Vaccine Injury with a new approach.
Their report was published on January 23, 2017 in the “International Journal of Vaccines and Vaccination.”
It is entitled, “New Quality-Control Investigations on Vaccines: Micro- and Nanocontamination
Below are their words:

➲ … In a limited number of cases something wrong occurs. No satisfactory explanation or, in many cases, no explanation at all has been given and it seems that those adverse effects happen on a random and stochastic basis.
➲ Those situations induced us to VERIFY THE SAFETY OF VACCINES from a point of view which WAS NEVER ADOPTED BEFORE: not a biological, but a physical approach.
➲ So, we developed a NEW ANALYSIS METHOD based on the use of a FIELD EMISSION GUN ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE investigations to detect possible PHYSICAL CONTAMINATION in those products.

Mass immunization programs: principles and standards.
Mass immunization programs need to be conducted ethically, with considerations of benefit versus risk and the need for detailed education of healthcare workers and vaccinees.

Vaccine-Induced Disease Epidemic Outbreaks
The Engineering of ‘Pandemics’
By A. True Ott, PhD, ND
The year was 1921. America was entering a decade of robust prosperity. Later called “The Roaring Twenties”, it was a time of unparalleled economic expansion. Debt money from Wall Street banks was plentiful and easy to obtain. The “Great War” was over.
America was flexing her industrial muscles. Factories were being built and expanded in every major city. Automobiles began rolling off Detroit assembly lines in record numbers. The stock market began making millionaires. People were HEALTHY and HAPPY ­ largely because the dreaded “world mystery disease” (which decades later became known as the “1918 Flu Pandemic”) had disappeared. Two entire years had passed with no dreaded “mystery deaths” being reported. America had cause to celebrate, and celebrate they did!
As a matter of fact, the American Public in general was so optimistic and HAPPY in 1921, that relatively few people were unhealthy as well. For the first time in decades, hospital beds were empty. The fledgling American Medical Association, formed by John D. Rockefeller just a few years earlier, was worried. Business was sagging.
Profits from vaccines and drugs were spiraling. Something had to be done, and done immediately. False, faux epidemics of smallpox were created to solve the problem, and keep the Medical Mafia’s cash registers ringing.
We know this dastardly plan actually happened, thanks to a citizen’s WATCHDOG GROUP in Kansas City, Missouri named “The Advertiser’s Protective Bureau”, who filed, and successfully prosecuted criminal charges against the Missouri state chapter of the AMA ­ the Jackson Medical Society. The ‘Protective Bureau’s” official report of this cold-blooded plot reads as follows:
“In the Fall of 1921, the health of the city was unusually good, but slow for the doctors. So the Jackson Medical Society met and resolved to make an epidemic in the city. According to the minutes of this meeting: ‘MOTION WAS MADE AND SECONDED, THAT A RECOMMENDATION BE MADE BY THE COMMITTEE, TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH, THAT AN EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX BE DECLARED IN THE CITY. (Investigation later revealed that there was NO SIGN OF AN EPIDEMIC at the time, in the city, or anywhere in the state or region!)
‘It was moved and seconded that a day be set aside, termed VACCINATION DAY, on which physicians would be stationed at ALL SCHOOLS, clinics, public buildings and hospitals to vaccinate “free of charge”. (Vaccinations are never “free”. The taxpayers are always forced to pay for every one of the “free” vaccines.)
“IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT WIDE PUBLICITY BE GIVEN, STATING THAT VACCINATION IS A PREVENTIVE OF SMALLPOX, AND URGING THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF VACCINATION FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN THE CITY.”

First Words from a Non-Verbal Boy with Autism

Father sues after one-in-a million vaccine reaction
EXCLUSIVE: Tim Clarke, Legal Affairs Editor
A man left permanently disabled after a one-in-a-million bad reaction to a whooping cough vaccination is preparing to face off against the WA Government to claim millions of dollars in medical negligence compensation.
Ben Hammond, his wife Tanya and their five children have been left emotionally and financially crippled since the 2012 injection.
Experts say the injection led to Mr Hammond contracting acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, an autoimmune disease causing irreversible spinal cord damage.
The rare reaction left Mr Hammond without any feeling from the waist down, with difficulty walking and memory loss — a reaction traced by an immunology expert to the vaccine given weeks earlier at King Edward Memorial Hospital so he could visit his prematurely born son.
After failing in several appeals for an ex gratia payment from the Government, the Hammonds are pursuing a negligence claim against the WA health minister — litigation they believe could be a watershed for vaccine injury law in Australia.
The couple say that what they really want is a chance to live a normal life.

Adults Targeted as Federal Government Prepares to Track the Unvaccinated
By Theresa Wrangham, NVIC Executive Director
During the National Vaccine Advisory Committee’s (NVAC) February meeting, American adults were put on notice by Big Brother that non-compliance with federal vaccine recommendations will not be tolerated. Public health officials have unveiled a new plan to launch a massive nationwide vaccination promotion campaign involving private business and non-profit organizations to pressure all adults to comply with the adult vaccination schedule approved by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).1
NVAC has authored the National Adult Immunization Plan (NAIP) and, once finalized, the plan will be turned over to the Interagency Adult Immunization Task Force (AIFT) to create an implementation plan. Notably, this task force is composed of “vested interest” stakeholders and no consumer representation for those groups concerned with vaccine safety and informed consent.
NVIC has submitted our public comments and recommendations for the NVAC’s draft National Adult Immunization Plan.2 Your opportunity to submit your comments and concerns about this plan has been extended to March 23rd. We encourage all of our readers to participate in the public comment process and submit comments to the NVAC on the NAIP. Please forward this article to family and friends and encourage them to submit public comments, too.
What you need to know – the nutshell.
Healthy People 2020 GoalsThe basis of the NAIP rests on Healthy People 2020 Goals,3 many of which are arbitrary.4 The key fact the plan seems to lose sight of in using these goals as its foundation is …THEY ARE GOALS. These goals have no legal authority over your healthcare decisions and are being used by government officials to shape public health policy, which in turn is spurring legal mandates to force you to comply with them.5
The adult immunization plan also “incentivizes” doctors and other vaccine providers to convert patient data into Electronic Health Record (EHR) formats that can then be shared across state and federal electronic databases to track national vaccine coverage rates and also track and identify who is and is not vaccinated. Many states already have electronic vaccine tracking registries (Immunization Information Systems – IIS) in place, but do not share this information due to laws preventing the sharing of personal medical information and/or limited vaccination data on adults. This is where financial and other types of incentives come in to convince vaccine providers and state legislators to participate in the gathering of this private medical information on all adults

Unul din 51 de copii români este diagnosticat cu autism față de 1 din 68 la nivel mondial
Asociatia Help Autism, in parteneriat cu Directia Generala de Asistenta Sociala si Protectia Copilului Sector 3, Bucuresti, anunta inchiderea proiectului “Campanie de diagnostic precoce a intarzierilor in dezvoltare”. Proiectul, derulat in perioada aprilie 2016 – aprilie 2017, a reprezentat un proiect pilot in Romania avand ca obiectiv general cresterea gradului de constientizare si accesului la furnizarea de servicii sociale pentru depistarea precoce a copiilor cu intarziere in dezvoltare (intarziere de limbaj, tulburari de spectru autist si tulburari asociate) prin crearea primului serviciu mixt Help Autism – DGASPC Sector 3.
Campania a cuprins evaluarea psihologica a 613 copii cu varsta cuprinsa intre 1 si 3 ani, din cresele si gradinitele din Sectorul 3, oferirea de servicii de specialitate pentru 30 de copii identificati cu intarzieri in dezvoltare precum si realizarea unei campanii de constientizare a drepturilor copiilor cu intarziere in dezvoltare si realizarea unui ghid de bune practici menit sa asiste parintii in lungul drum al recuperarii.
Cea mai importanta componenta a campaniei si totodata elementul de noutate adus de implementarea proiectului a fost evaluarea unui numar cat mai mare de copii cu varsta pana la 3 ani, evaluare care sa puna bazele unei statistici nationale privind incidenta intarzierilor in dezvoltare. Rezultatele evaluarii vin sa confirme incadrarea copiilor din Sectorul 3 in incidenta mondiala, atat in ceea ce priveste diferentierea pe gen cat si din punct de vedere al numarului total al copiilor afectati de tulburari de spectru autist.

Lecture on vitamin C by brilliant Suzanne Humphries
Suzanne Humphries is a specialist in internal medicine and kidney disease from the US, The lecture is about the role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) for a variety of functions in the body and that there is research in health care often forgotten, denied and doubted. The Vitamin C is important for children and during pregnancy, in diseases of the cardiovascular, skeletal and skin and in cancer.
But should you take extra vitamin C? How much and in what quantity and shape? Are there dangers and problems with this? Can you get kidney stones from vitamin C? We all need vitamin C and it is most famous for its importance in the immune system. It is important as part of the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. A common perception is that a rich foods contain enough vitamin C, but is it really? How much do we need? In what form should it be used? Is it good to take in higher doses in different diseases? Can it be combined with conventional medicine? It may be important to you and your health? Dr. Humphries has a historical perspective on vitamin C and its importance in various diseases, but also describes its role in health in general.

Study – Pilot comparative study on the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated 6- to 12- year old U.S. children
Abstract
Vaccinations have prevented millions of infectious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths among U.S. children, yet the long-term health outcomes of the vaccination schedule remain uncertain. Studies have been recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine to address this question. This study aimed 1) to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children on a broad range of health outcomes, and 2) to determine whether an association found between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), if any, remained significant after adjustment for other measured factors. A cross-sectional study of mothers of children educated at home was carried out in collaboration with homeschool organizations in four U.S. states: Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oregon. Mothers were asked to complete an anonymous online questionnaire on their 6- to 12-year-old biological children with respect to pregnancy-related factors, birth history, vaccinations, physician-diagnosed illnesses, medications used, and health services. NDD, a derived diagnostic measure, was defined as having one or more of the following three closely-related diagnoses: a learning disability, Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. A convenience sample of 666 children was obtained, of which 261 (39%) were unvaccinated. The vaccinated were less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with chickenpox and pertussis, but more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies and NDD. After adjustment, vaccination, male gender, and preterm birth remained significantly associated with NDD. However, in a final adjusted model with interaction, vaccination but not preterm birth remained associated with NDD, while the interaction of preterm birth and vaccination was associated with a 6.6-fold increased odds of NDD (95% CI: 2.8, 15.5). In conclusion, vaccinated homeschool children were found to have a higher rate of allergies and NDD than unvaccinated homeschool children. While vaccination remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors, preterm birth coupled with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples and stronger research designs is needed to verify and understand these unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on children’s health.

Whopping Vaccine Injury Payouts for US Fiscal Year 2017 Released – Over $3.6 Billion Worth of “Safe and Effective”
May 4, 2017 by Global Freedom Movement
Yet another shocking blow has been delivered to people who still ardently claim that vaccines are “safe and effective,” and that the only complications they can cause are “mild.” The US government department for Health Resources and Services Administration has recently released the running tally of the just-past-half-way-complete US Fiscal Year of 2017 for compensable vaccine injuries. It currently stands at over $142 million dollars. You read that right. That covers the 377 cases that were thus far successful in obtaining compensation in FY 2017 through the heavily biased (to put it politely) system allegedly in place to redress damage done by vaccines in the USA.
At the rate things are going, we might expect the VICP to pay out around $220 million or more by the close of FY 2017. To clarify, US Fiscal Year 2017 runs from October 1st, 2016 to September 30th, 2017 – there’s still over four months remaining to rack up more carnage.

The Scandalous LA County Measles Vaccine Experiment: Is the Unsuspecting Public Still Being Used in Secret Vaccine Trials?
May 5, 2017
An Anniversary to Remember but Not Worth Celebrating
by Wayne Rohde
Health Impact News
Can I ask you the following three questions?
Who are the targeted participants for US clinical trials of vaccines?
Why does our government test vaccines that are 10 to 500 times the potency of licensed vaccines on US citizens?
Why does our government conduct clandestine trials on unsuspecting participants regarding vaccine trials?
This spring will mark the 27th anniversary of one of the cruelest and most deceptive acts the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has ever conducted.
In partnership with Kaiser Permanente Health System and Los Angeles County Public Health Service, an experimental measles vaccine was given to approximately 1,500 inner city minority children in Los Angeles County. Most of these children were six months of age.
The planning for this inoculation program started in 1989 with the vaccination campaign commencing in June 1990. This program came to a halt in October 1991.
The Experimental Measles Vaccine: Los Angeles County Guinea Pigs
The measles vaccine, Edmonston-Zagreb (E-Z) high-titers, was administered mainly to African-American children in an attempt to curb the measles outbreak in LA County.
The parents were not told that the measles vaccine was experimental, and it was not approved for use in the US.
These children from LA County were the guinea pigs, the living test tubes of the research world. Yet the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) were telling the parents the vaccine was being used in other countries. What was not explained was the fact that the vaccine used in Los Angeles was not the lower titers used in other countries but rather a super charged high-titers E-Z vaccine. And it was experimental.

 

 

Vitamin C Outperforms The Shingles Vaccine!

Vitamin C Outperforms The Shingles Vaccine!
Vitamin C is known to strengthen the body’s immune system. As reported by Natural Health 365, we don’t know of any virus that isn’t scared silly of the nutrient.
Why is that important? Well, shingles is much more likely to occur in individuals that have a weakened immune system.
Vaccines try – and fail – to solve this; in clinical trials, the leading shingles vaccine only worked in 51% of all patients.
That’s pretty abysmal, especially when you consider the side effects of that vaccine, which include:

    Joint and muscle pain
Headaches
Skin rashes
Breathing problems
Sore throat
Swollen glands

Compare this to vitamin C, which has been shown in studies to reduce the incidence and severity of diseases like shingles for just about all patients with minimal side effects.
The vitamin is even effective when the virus has already begun to act up.
Vitamin C and Shingles Treatment
In the 1940s, a doctor by the name of Frederick Klenner discovered something remarkable about vitamin C.
It all began when he gave shingles patients 2,000 to 3,000 mg of vitamin C via injection every 12 hours. He also had his patients drink 1,000 mg of vitamin C in fruit juice.
Within two hours, 7 of Dr. Klenner’s 8 patients reported total pain relief. Within a mere 72 hours, each patient’s blisters were healed. Keep in mind that this condition is supposed to be debilitating and last between 3 to 5 weeks.
Also keep in mind that the only medical industry-approved ‘solutions’ for people with existing shingles are painkillers and antibiotics – in other words, symptom management as opposed to treatment.

Peter C. Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher, and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration.
Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified; His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable? in The Lancet in 2000. In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate.
In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print. The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction. The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in.
In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published. In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published.

The book is comprehensive, with worldwide examples across many categories of drugs of how the pharmaceutical industry operates. It describes the history of the pharmaceutical industry well, and is current, with references from 2013. The comprehensive attack on the largest drug companies is scathing, and it provokes physicians to be more cautious about prescribing. But most important, it shows us that evidence-based medicine and guidelines have been hijacked, as the evidence base has been systematically distorted.11,12 Consequently, we must rethink which evidence and which recommendations we should use to help our patients. A helpful start is the Public Citizen approach of not using any new drug until it is 7 years old.13

Authors’ conclusions:
The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate. The evidence of adverse events following immunisation with the MMR vaccine cannot be separated from its role in preventing the target diseases.

Vitamin C, Shingles, and Vaccination

Vitamin C, Shingles, and Vaccination
Vitamin C accumulating inside viral particles can rapidly destroy viruses by that approach. The spike of the bacteriophage virus is laden with iron, and the focal Fenton reaction is probably how it penetrates its host cell membrane (Bartual et al., 2010; Yamashita et al., 2011; Browning et al., 2012). Viruses accumulate iron and copper, and these metals are also part of the surfaces of viruses (Samuni et al., 1983). As such, wherever the concentrations are the highest, vitamin C will focally upregulate the Fenton reaction, and irreversible viral damage will generally ensue. Fenton activity and its upregulation is the only really well-documented way by which viruses, pathogens, and also cancer cells can be killed by vitamin C, and it is the stimulation of this reaction by vitamin C that makes it therapeutically effective in resolving many infections and cancers (Vilcheze et al., 2013).
Vitamin C helps resolve infections of all varieties, but its effect on acute viral syndromes are especially dramatic and prompt, and it should always be part of any treatment protocol for an infected patient.
