Vaccine News – Adverse events following Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, 1990-2013

An interview with Robert Kennedy Jr. on vaccines
By Helen Branswell
In the early days of 2017, proponents of vaccination were deeply concerned. Donald Trump, who has long espoused a debunked link between vaccines and autism, was set to enter the White House. He met with environmental activist Robert Kennedy Jr., who has for years argued that vaccines can cause a range of developmental and other health conditions. Kennedy emerged to report he’d been asked to chair a commission into vaccine safety.
But seven months later, no such commission has been appointed and the crisis-mired White House has declined to say whether the plan has been shelved.
STAT contacted Kennedy to see where plans stood. He would only speak on condition that STAT publish the interview in a Q&A format. He argued that his assertions — which are disputed as a misreading of the scientific literature by many mainstream scientists — have been misquoted and misrepresented in the media.
Here is STAT’s conversation with Kennedy. It has been lightly edited, for length and readability.
The question I want to ask you relates to the vaccine safety commission that you had announced in January that you were going to head, after you met with then President-elect Trump. It’s been a number of months now, and there hasn’t been any further public announcement. And so we’ve been wondering: Where does this stand?
I’ve had no discussions specifically about the vaccine safety commission, probably since February. I’ve spoken to the White House about other issues of vaccine safety and had a number of follow-up meetings.

Study – The putative role of environmental aluminium in the development of chronic neuropathology in adults and children. How strong is the evidence and what could be the mechanisms involved?
Abstract
The conceptualisation of autistic spectrum disorder and Alzheimer’s disease has undergone something of a paradigm shift in recent years and rather than being viewed as single illnesses with a unitary pathogenesis and pathophysiology they are increasingly considered to be heterogeneous syndromes with a complex multifactorial aetiopathogenesis, involving a highly complex and diverse combination of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. One such environmental factor implicated as a potential cause in both syndromes is aluminium, as an element or as part of a salt, received, for example, in oral form or as an adjuvant. Such administration has the potential to induce pathology via several routes such as provoking dysfunction and/or activation of glial cells which play an indispensable role in the regulation of central nervous system homeostasis and neurodevelopment. Other routes include the generation of oxidative stress, depletion of reduced glutathione, direct and indirect reductions in mitochondrial performance and integrity, and increasing the production of proinflammatory cytokines in both the brain and peripherally. The mechanisms whereby environmental aluminium could contribute to the development of the highly specific pattern of neuropathology seen in Alzheimer’s disease are described. Also detailed are several mechanisms whereby significant quantities of aluminium introduced via immunisation could produce chronic neuropathology in genetically susceptible children. Accordingly, it is recommended that the use of aluminium salts in immunisations should be discontinued and that adults should take steps to minimise their exposure to environmental aluminium.

Australia Bans Truth-Telling Mother From Country For Three Years…And It Backfired
The date was August 8th and the Vaxxed team had just wrapped up a two-week tour of Australia, where the communities of parents received their info with great interest. It was time for the team, consisting of a medical doctor, a scientist, a videographer, and a mother of a vaccine-injured son to pass through Australia’s Department of Immigration within the airport on the way to their flight to New Zealand. Three passed through unhassled, one didn’t. Vaxxed team member Polly Tommey describes what happened to her:
“I get taken to one side and that’s when two immigration police take me into a room and tell me that I’ve been detained and ask for my phone…and then they told me that I was in violation of my Visa and they took my phone and went right through everything in my phone. They typed in ‘Australia’ they went through every contact and every email that there had been with myself and the team. They took my phone away and photographed everything.”
In an instant Tommey was a persecuted individual who moments later would find out she was officially banned from Australia for three years. Next, it came time for airport security immigration officers to address one of the reasons Tommey was being harassed:
“Then they asked me about Vaxxed. Did I have a copy of it? Endless questions about Vaxxed being a very dangerous film with lies…I’m a mother recording stories from parents. And parents come to me to tell their stories. I didn’t seek them out, they come to me. And that is more of a threat than anything else?”
How did we get to the point where a mother can be banned from a western country for simply offering a voice to families?

The Health Ranger – Gardasil HPV Vaccine Hoax Exposed
This video exposes the truth about Gardasil and HPV vaccinations: They don’t work and may actually be dangerous to women. The FDA knew HPV did not cause cervical cancer in 2003.

HPV Gardasil Vaccine Proves Lethal – 236 Girls have now Died

Irish Times 8.1.2012-Schoolgirl vaccine uptake of 82% beats target figures http://j.mp/zuYds8
236 girls have now died in America and the rest of the World, But the Irish Times keeps this quite, Irish Dr Kevin Kelleher, assistant national director of health protection at the HSE, welcomed the high uptake on Gardisil Vaccinations, he fails to give the facts also, says its excellent!
The 82 per cent uptake was “excellent” and was equal to or greater than those achieved in the first year of programmes in other countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia. He said the figures were great credit to the vaccination teams.

Why My Wife and I Decided Not To Vaccinate Our Daughter
Author: Jason Christoff
When my wife was pregnant we knew the vaccine issue was coming our way and we put it off as long as possible. As the day fast approached, I started to investigate and compile some information for my wife because she trusted that I would make sure she understood what the main issues were regarding vaccination. We had heard vaccinations were potentially dangerous but we didn’t know if that applied to all children or just some. We weren’t aware if vaccination was beneficial for some babies and maybe not for others. We were new to being parents and we didn’t want to make any mistakes. We certainly didn’t want our baby getting sick if we could do something about it proactively. We wanted our baby to have the most comfortable journey through life possible and if that meant giving our new born vaccines, so she could avoid disease now and in the future, then that’s what we were going to do. After researching for a couple of days, we were more than shocked at what we were uncovering.

Study – Neurological and autoimmune disorders after vaccination against pandemic influenza A (H1N1) with a monovalent adjuvanted vaccine: population based cohort study in Stockholm, Sweden.
RESULTS:
Excess risks among vaccinated compared with unvaccinated people were of low magnitude for Bell’s palsy (hazard ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval 1.06 to 1.48) and paraesthesia (1.11, 1.00 to 1.23) after adjustment for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and healthcare utilisation. Risks for Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis remained unchanged. The risks of paraesthesia and inflammatory bowel disease among those vaccinated in the early phase (within 45 days from 1 October 2009) of the vaccination campaign were significantly increased; the risk being increased within the first six weeks after vaccination. Those vaccinated in the early phase were at a slightly reduced risk of death than those who were unvaccinated (0.94, 0.91 to 0.98), whereas those vaccinated in the late phase had an overall reduced mortality (0.68, 0.64 to 0.71). These associations could be real or explained, partly or entirely, by residual confounding.
CONCLUSIONS:
Results for the safety of Pandemrix over 8-10 months of follow-up were reassuring -notably, no change in the risk for Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis. Relative risks were significantly increased for Bell’s palsy, paraesthesia, and inflammatory bowel disease after vaccination, predominantly in the early phase of the vaccination campaign. Small numbers of children and adolescents with narcolepsy precluded any meaningful conclusions.

In the early 90s, a mysterious muscular disease with symptoms that included severe muscle and joint pain began to surface among multiple patients in France. In 1993, a team of doctors in Paris discovered that these patients had developed a new disease called Macrophagic Myofascitis, or MMF, which occurs when the aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from a vaccine remains embedded in the muscle tissue and causes an immune reaction. Featuring interviews with patients, doctors, scientists, and influential politicians, Injecting Aluminum calls in to question the public health policies around aluminum in vaccines and examines aluminum’s devastating effects on the human body.

IMPFEN MUSS FREIWILLIG BLEIBEN!
In vielen Ländern Europas dürfen Eltern schon jetzt nicht mehr frei entscheiden, ob, wann und wogegen ihre Kinder geimpft werden. Auch in Deutschland werden die Daumenschrauben angezogen, aktuell wird diskutiert, man solle Eltern, die ihre Kinder nicht impfen, das Kindergeld entziehen!
Da Impfungen schwere Nebenwirkungen haben können, darf kein Staat und keine Institution Eltern vorschreiben dürfen, welche Pharma-Produkte ihren Kindern einverleibt werden!
Um den drohenden Impf-Zwang zu verhindern, rufen wir zur Teilnahme auf und bitten um Unterstützung:

Vaccination must be voluntary!
In many countries of Europe, parents are no longer allowed to decide whether, when and what their children are vaccinated. In Germany, too, the squeeze are being drawn up, and it is currently being discussed that parents who do not vaccinate their children should withdraw child benefit.
Since vaccination can have serious side effects, no state and no institution must be allowed to require parents to have the pharmaceutical products incorporated into their children.
In order to prevent the threat of vaccination, we call to participate and ask for support:

Movie Vaxxed gets up QUEENSLAND Health Minister’s nose
By Brent Melville
QUEENSLAND Health Minister Cameron Dick was either seriously misinformed, ignorant, or flat out lying when, in response to the touring movie Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe, he said “there is no shred of credible scientific evidence to support claims that vaccinations are dangerous” (Gold Coast Bulletin, 15/7/17).
The same with Victorian Health Minister Jill Hennessy who stated on Seven News in February last year: “There are no risks in vaccinating your children – the science is really clear”.
Dr Hooker, who joined the Vaxxed tour, says there are in fact more than 100 studies on PubMed on autism, neurological developmental disorders (NDDs) and vaccination. But here’s a few specific studies our blind, deaf and dumb health ministers and their advisers refuse to look at.
1. Neurological and autoimmune disorders after vaccination against pandemic influenza A (H1N1) with a monovalent adjuvanted vaccine: population based cohort study in Stockholm, Sweden. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21994316 Conclusion in part: “… Relative risks were significantly increased for Bell’s palsy, paraesthesia, and inflammatory bowel disease after vaccination, predominantly in the early phase of the vaccination campaign…”.
2. Autoimmune disorders (AIDs) after immunisation with Influenza A/H1N1 vaccines with and without adjuvant: EudraVigilance data and literature review. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23022149 From abstract: “Of the 50,221 adverse reactions received in EudraVigilance for A/H1N1 vaccines (adjuvanted: 46,173, non-adjuvanted: 4048), 314 were AID (adjuvanted: 276, non-adjuvanted: 38). GBS was the AID with the highest number of reports (125, adjuvanted: 109, non-adjuvanted: 16).
3. Serious adverse events rarely reported after trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) in children 6-23 months of age. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450636 From results: “During 1991-2001, VAERS received 128,717 reports…A total of 14.2% of all reports described serious adverse events, which by regulatory definition include death, life-threatening illness, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, or permanent disability.”
4. “Adverse events following Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, 1990-2013.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25598306 Study results found: “VAERS received 29,747 reports after Hib vaccines; 5179 (17%) were serious, including 896 reports of deaths. Median age was 6 months (range 0-1022 months). Sudden infant death syndrome was the stated cause of death in 384 (51%) of 749 death reports with autopsy/death certificate records. The most common non-death serious AE categories were neurologic (80; 37%), other noninfectious (46; 22%) (comprising mainly constitutional signs and symptoms); and gastrointestinal (39; 18%) conditions.”

Study: Vaccine Induced Inflammation Cause of Obesity Epidemic – Not Diet
Childhood obesity is now a reason why the state could take away children from their parents. The rationale is that if a child is obese, it is the parents’ fault, because they failed to feed them properly. It is assumed that all childhood obesity is a result of diet.
However, most of us have probably seen first-hand just how different children are when it comes to food and putting on weight. Some children can eat junk food most of the time and never add weight, while some children can eat a healthy, organic diet and still add pounds.
Dr. J. Bart Classen has published a study claiming that the evidence for the overwhelming problem of childhood obesity is not diet, but “vaccine induced inflammation.”

Vaccines, not Diet, are Causing Epidemic of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes According to New Paper from Classen Immunotherapies
MANCHESTER, Md., June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — A newly published paper in June’s Journal of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 5(3): 1107, by immunologist J. Bart Classen, MD of Classen Immunotherapies provides further proof of the dangers of vaccines. The paper reviews the growing evidence that many cases of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are inflammatory conditions and that vaccine induced inflammation is the cause of the epidemic of these diseases. Upon receiving a vaccine some individuals’ immune system becomes hyper active leading to autoimmune destruction of insulin secreting cells and the development of type 1 diabetes. Many other individuals produce increased cortisol and other immune suppressing molecules, to suppress the vaccine induced inflammation. This increased production leads to type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. The new paper reviews evidence supporting vaccines, not diet, as a cause of the epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Study – Cause of the Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Epidemics, Vaccine Induced Immune Overload versus Nutrition Overload
Abstract
There is an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and associated conditions. Patients with these conditions often have markers of
increased inflammation. Many researchers have published that nutrition overload caused the epidemic of obesity and the associated inflammation which
leads to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. A contrasting view has provided extensive evidence that vaccine induced immune overload has caused an
epidemic of inflammation and this inflammation caused epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The data reviewed in these manuscripts
provides proof that immune overload, not nutrition overload has been the major contributing factor for the epidemics and inflammation associated with the
epidemics. Several lines of evidence are reviewed including evidence that inflammation precedes obesity in many patients, the lack of inflammation in many
obese patients, an epidemic of inflammation in thin patients, and an epidemic of obesity in children under 6 months of age. The failure to control the obesity
epidemic is blamed on the focus on nutrition and ignoring the root cause, vaccine induced immune overload. Once a patient has developed metabolic syndrome
with type 2 diabetes providers are too frequently subjecting their patients to further immune overload by administering yearly influenza vaccines and many
other vaccines. This action makes metabolic syndrome more difficult to reverse. The plan to reduce obesity must be focused on preventing immune overload
and not blaming patients for their diet. The epidemic of obesity can be reversed through discontinuation of vaccine practices that result in immune overload.

 

Vaccine News – Documentary Report Calls For “Immunonutrition” To Replace Vaccines

There is more to the story about vaccinations than you are being told. Watch our entire exciting 9-part online docu-series! as we uncover the truth!

Documentary Report Calls For “Immunonutrition” To Replace Vaccines
By Bill Sardi
March 30, 2017
What the vaccine industry is hiding is a horror story beyond any one’s imagination.
In 1993 the deaths of 93,000 elderly Americans vaccinated with a “hot lot” flu vaccine that caused the life expectancy of Americans to drop for the first time in eight decades was covered up by health authorities and the news media. If you can hide 93,000 vaccine-related deaths, what else is the vaccine industry hiding?
Furthermore, millions of infants and older old adults at mortal risk for infectious disease are needlessly being subjected to problematic vaccines. An authoritative report investigated and written by this author shows most unvaccinated healthy and well-nourished individuals infected by potentially pathogenic bacteria or viruses develop antibodies naturally, do not experience symptoms and therefore do not need to be vaccinated. This is mistakenly called herd immunity by immunologists.
While it is true vaccines prevent morbidity (fever, diarrhea, etc.), hospitalizations and deaths from infectious disease, this is in the context of malnourished human populations that are commonly deficient in one key trace mineral required for the development of long-term immunity.

Vaccine billionaire buys former U.S. consulate in Mumbai for $113 million
Vaccine billionaire Cyrus Poonawalla has bought a former maharaja’s mansion in Mumbai from the U.S. government for around 7.5 billion rupees ($113 million), newspapers reported, making it the most expensive ever residential purchase in the country.
The seaside mansion was used as the U.S. consulate from 1957, and later renamed Lincoln House. It was put on the market four years ago, after the consulate was relocated to a purpose built compound in a newer business district.
Poonawalla, one of India’s richest men, told the Times of India newspaper that he secured the property after real estate groups were told there were limits on potential redevelopment plans for the heritage-listed house and seaside plot.
“We thought it was a good price given the location,” son Adar Poonawalla, who ran negotiations, told the Hindustan Times.

This Is How a Vaccine Billionaire Lives
Vaccines are profitable. And it doesn’t take a whole lot of critical thinking to determine how profitable once you see how one vaccine billionaire is now living in India. The above pictured seaside mansion was purchased by Cyrus Poonawalla for a cool $113 billion. The vaccine billionaire bought a former US consulate from the US, but he will use it to continue leading his luxurious lifestyle as a residential home. It is the most expensive residential home purchase in the history of India and it should come as no surprise that a vaccine pusher was able to make the purchase. The home had been on the market for four years prior to his purchase date on September 14th, 2015.
According to Reuters India, Poonawalla is literally loaded with riches.

Why Would You Vaccinate a Newborn for Hepatitis B?
Since we do not expect them to use a meat slicer, have sex or play with dirty needles, what could the reason for vaccination at this age possibly be? All moms are screened (99% screening rate in New Hampshire for expectant moms) so an infected Mom is unlikely to slip through the cracks. An infected mom and her newborn need not only the vaccine, but also immune globulin, and possibly an antiviral drug. So vaccinating all babies does not provide adequate treatment for those who really need it.
When newer Hepatitis B vaccines became available, they were recommended only for those at high risk. But many high risk individuals did not choose to be vaccinated.
So the decision was made to instead vaccinate infants. Infants may be at infinitesimal risk, but they will eventually grow to an age where their risk increases. They are a captive audience. Infants can’t say “no” to a vaccine, like their parents can, and do. It makes sense, I guess, if your goal is to reduce numbers of cases using the most easily-imposed route. It makes some sense at the population level. It makes sense if there are almost no side effects from the vaccine.
But what if there are side effects?
Babies cannot tell you if they are experiencing a side effect. What if the birth dose contributes to later childhood neurologic problems in those who are susceptible? When your new baby is vaccinated on the day of birth,
You don’t know what that child might have been like, without being vaccinated.
You cannot compare “before” and “after.”
You cannot easily determine what is a side effect from that very first dose of vaccine.
Much important safety information has never been published.

NBC: Contaminated Measles vaccine leaves 15 children dead
By Erin Elizabeth – June 2, 2017

At least fifteen children under the age of five have died in a botched measles vaccination campaign in Sudan, where mainstream claims children as young as 12 years old were administering the shots. NPR’s interviewed a top MD who said he didn’t think there were any 12 year olds giving out shots, so mainstream cannot get their story straight. 1
In total, about 300 people from the village of Nachodokopele (which is in Namorunyang state, borders Ethiopia, and is part of South Sudan’s Equatoria region) received inoculations against measles during the four-day vaccination campaign.

Two Children Die & 12 Become ill After Measles Vaccine in Bihar

Pharma Giant’s Vaccines Had Glass In Them, But They Refuse Recall
By Erin Elizabeth – December 12, 2016
(Editor’s note: Companies owned by multi-billion pharma giant Sanofi, have paid huge criminal fines in the past (feel free to look it up in the mainstream media) so the fact that professors and medical doctors think this is horrific, too does not surprise us!)
Sanofi Pasteur, one the world’s leading vaccine makers (No. 2 among vaccine makers, with global sales of $6 billion) with a checkered past, had a potentially serious and costly problem on its hands in April of 2013: Its Monroe County plant discovered pieces of glass in batches of a vaccine intended for babies. It is unclear how many ActHIB vaccines affected by delamination were distributed as Sanofi refused to provide numbers when asked.
The glass was found in samples of a vaccine that had already been distributed to customers and which would not expire until September 2014. Sanofi did the right thing and sent the samples to an outside laboratory for analysis where the lab found evidence of delamination (which occurs when vaccine vials shed flakes of glass called lamellae).
But, in true Big Pharma fashion, their responsibility stopped there.
Sanofi allowed doctors and nurses all over the country to continue injecting babies with the potentially problematic ActHIB for another YEAR AND A HALF.

Police investigate girl’s death after flu vaccine
Siobhan Barry
The death of a two-year-old girl from Brisbane who had received the seasonal flu vaccine will be referred to the Queensland coroner.
Police are preparing a report after the girl died earlier this month.
She had been immunised the day before.
Concerns over adverse reactions prompted authorities last week to temporarily ban the seasonal flu vaccine for children under five.

No, I Won’t Stop “Sharing” Vaccine Information
Posted on June 2, 2017
Just stop.
Stop saying that we should spend our time on raising awareness for starving children or some other cause that you deem more worthy of our efforts.
Stop suggesting that we removed wheat and dairy from our son’s diet “based on fear.”
Stop making ridiculous assumptions without bothering to ask us our experience. The fact is that our family, and by extension your family, was profoundly affected by vaccines. The thing most precious to us in the entire world, our child, was vaccine injured. This is not a “difference of opinion” we have with you. The physical harm done to our son is not an opinion. It’s a fact. We have spent thousands of dollars with a well-respected medical doctor and have documented proof of the damage that vaccines did to our child. We removed wheat and dairy, among other things, from his diet based on these lab reports, on actual science, not based on fear. No, we will not stop posting vaccine information. While we are not unsympathetic to starving children, the thing that has directly affected us — and thousands of others — is vaccine injury. So stop suggesting that we focus elsewhere.
If our child had cancer from pesticides sprayed on our food, and we had proof of that in the form of lab reports from a respected medical doctor, would you ask us to stop posting about pesticides? Would you suggest that we focus on world hunger rather than cancer?
Why is vaccine injury so difficult for those who have not yet experienced it, to accept? I’ll tell you why . . . because vaccines are a religion. They are a belief system. If you actually read the trials done to get a vaccine to market, then you discover that they are not based on solid science. There are no true placebos used in clinical trials, those that profit from vaccine sales conduct the “safety studies,” and the infamous Danish study would fail a junior high biology class.

UNEXPECTED PROTEIN FOUND IN MEASLES-MUMPS VACCINE
By David Brown December 9, 1995
An unusual and unexpected virus protein has been found in minute quantities in measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, but the scientists studying it don’t believe it poses any hazard to people getting the immunization shots.
RT is most commonly associated with retroviruses, a class of virus that can permanently alter the genes — and consequently the behavior — of cells they infect. The AIDS virus is the best-known retrovirus, although there are others that cause diseases, such as leukemia.
The discovery of RT in batches of MMR in June immediately raised the possibility that a complete retrovirus might somehow be contaminating the vaccine. The presence of the protein was detected by Swiss researchers using a new test that is a million times more sensitive than its predecessor.
Chicken proteins are normally found in many vaccines. No whole retrovirus, however, has been found in any vaccine samples. Furthermore, experiments done with Merck’s chicken embryo cells — the presumed source of the RT in that company’s vaccine — have not uncovered any virus capable of passing from chicken cells to human cells when the two are grown together in the laboratory.
The protein, called reverse transcriptase, almost certainly comes from the remnants of ancient viruses that have been “preserved” for eons in the chromosomes of chickens. Chicken cells are used to make many vaccines, including the one in which the protein was found. There is no evidence that whole copies of the ancient viruses are in any vaccine.
“Based on the data we have so far, we believe the vaccine should be on the market, and people should continue immunizing their children,” said Kathryn Zoon, head of the Food and Drug Administration’s office in charge of vaccine safety.
“We are not investigating a situation in which there has been any adverse reaction at all,” said Brian W.J. Mahy, director of the branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that studies viruses.
The measles-mumps-rubella vaccine used in the United States is made by only one manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc. However, the reverse transcriptase (RT) protein has been found in similar vaccines made by European companies, as well as in yellow fever and some influenza vaccines. All are prepared in chicken embryo cells.
Merck each year sells about 12 million doses of the vaccine (often abbreviated MMR) in the United States. MMR is given to children soon after their first birthday, and again when they are either about 4 or 11 years old. About 450 million doses of the Merck vaccine have been sold worldwide since it was introduced 24 years ago, a company spokeswoman said yesterday.
The World Health Organization estimates that measles vaccine prevents about 90 million cases of the disease annually, and about 1.5 million deaths.

11 Things Every Teen Should Know About Gardasil and Cervical Cancer
June 6, 2017
One
In 2006, Gardasil was given “Fast-Track” approval, despite failing to meet (and still fails to meet) even one of the four conditions for priority approval [1].

Two
The risk of dying of cervical cancer is approximately 1.7/100,000 women in Australia [2], or 2.4/100,000 women in the US [3] – bearing in mind that Gardasil only claims to protect against the strains thought to be responsible for approximately 70% of all cervical cancers [4]. Compare this with the rate of serious adverse reactions for Gardasil – an estimated 3.34/100,000 doses [5]. Serious reactions are classified as those that lead to hospitalization, permanent disability or death. Given that only an estimated1-10% of vaccine adverse reactions are reported [6], the real numbers of adverse reactions may be many, many times higher. In other words, it appears the vaccine may be more dangerous than the condition it is claimed to prevent…

Three
We still have no evidence that Gardasil can actually prevent cervical cancer, let alone cervical cancer deaths. This is because the clinical trials followed up participants for 5 years [7], yet cervical cancer can take 20-40 years to develop [8]. Instead, they based their decision to approve the vaccine on its purported ability to prevent so-called “pre-cancerous lesions” – the vast majority of which resolve on their own, without ever progressing to cancer, anyway [4].

Four
The “placebo” used in Gardasil clinical trials, was actually an injection of aluminum [9] – a known neurotoxin [10-11], that induces DNA damage [12], suppresses the immune system [13-14], and mimics the hormone estrogen in the human body [15]. It is also suspected of playing a role in the development of some cancers, including breast cancer [16], and….wait for it….cervical cancer [17].

Five
Merck – the makers of Gardasil – helped the vaccine to be included in school mandates and compulsory vaccination programs via clever marketing campaigns and lobbying legislators. They even helped to draft legislation that made Gardasil vaccination mandatory to attend school [18]. They also provided funding to professional associations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,, who began heavily promoting the vaccine, via ready-made presentations, emails and letters…even before the clinical trial results were published [19-20].

Six
In 2012, it was reported that Gardasil alone was associated with 61% of all serious adverse reactions reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), including 63% of all deaths, and 81% of permanent disability in females younger than 30 [21].

Seven
Merck’s own pre-licensure data shows that vaccination of young women already infected by HPV strains 16 and 18 may actually exacerbate pre-existing infections or pre-cancerous lesions, and increase their risk of cervical cancer by 44% [22]. Unfortunately, there is no screening for such infections offered to teenage girls, before vaccination of Gardasil.

Eight
HPV16 virus (one of the strains included in the vaccine), is so closely related to the human proteome, that forcing the body to create antibodies against it (what the Gardasil vaccine is designed to do), almost certainly results in making antibodies against our own self [23]. Perhaps this is why auto-immune conditions are one of the most commonly reported side effects of Gardasil [24-26].

Nine
Gardasil contains an ingredient called Polysorbate 80 (also known as “Tween 80”), a non-ionic detergent that is used to prevent individual ingredients in the vaccine from separating. Polysorbate has been linked to reproductive problems and infertility in animal studies [27]. Also disturbing is the fact that Polysorbate 80 is used in drugs and biomedical research, for its ability to transport medications across the blood-brain barrier, thereby accessing the central nervous system [28]. This means that the presence of polysorbate 80 could make other ingredients, such as aluminum, even more dangerous, however, no studies have been performed, on humans or animals, to evaluate potential synergistic toxicity.

Over the past four decades, cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in Western countries have decreased by 74%, largely through pap smear campaigns [4]. It is unlikely that vaccination will have much effect in decreasing the already small cancer rate. In fact, if vaccinated women stop having pap smears, the cancer rate will likely increase [29].

Eleven
The vast majority of sexually-active women will have at least one HPV infection at some point in their lives, usually without any symptoms. Ninety percent of infections will clear without any treatment within 2 years [30-31], and only 1% of infections will persist and eventually become cervical cancer [32], although there are usually other risk factors involved, including cigarette smoking, and long-term use of oral contraceptive pill [33].
So…is the so-called “cervical cancer vaccine” worth it? You be the judge…

Vaccine Facts backed by Science

Vaccinations affect natural immunity.
Vaccines create more powerful strains of bacteria and viruses. Superbugs.
Vaccines create autoimmune disorders/complexes even in those who are not “genetically susceptible”
Furthermore, the potential risk of the vaccine exceeds the potential benefit.
Vaccines take time to do damage.
Vaccines can NOT guarantee immunity. It is ONLY a hope.
Vaccines viruses shed to immuno-compromised children, pregnant women & the elderly.
ALL Vaccines are contaminated.

 

Vaccine News – Did Chinese scientists find autism’s missing puzzle piece?

Would You Want Your Vaccine Produced by Supporters of Jihad?

“Selling the crucial manufacture of vaccines to an ideologically hostile country, which might – for whatever reason – suddenly decide to shut down production, does not sound like a good idea… Those who say that the Saudis are merely interested in profit, just like everybody else, should know better”. — Rachel Ehrenfeld, expert on financing terrorism
Virtually all political parties supported the Danish government’s sale of its vaccine manufacturing facility to the Saudi conglomerate.
After the publication of the Danish Mohammad cartoons in 2006, Saudis boycotted Danish goods. Do Danish politicians really have such short memories?
Vaccines are not an easy commodity to come by. It takes minimum six months for an order of vaccines to be delivered, but, according to the World Health Organization, delivery can also easily take up to two years.
How much trust are Danish consumers supposed to have in a Saudi owned conglomerate, which employs jihadists such as Usmani and donates heavily to jihadist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, who want to bring about a caliphate? The potential for political exploitation is too evident to reject.
Would you want your vaccines produced by a Saudi company that supports jihad? Danes, it seems, may have no choice.

Did Chinese scientists find autism’s missing puzzle piece?
BY J.B. HANDLEY February 22, 2017
Discovery #1: “Maternal Immune Activation” can cause autism
Further Refinement of Discovery #1: Immune Activation from the Cytokine Interleukin-6
Dr. Patterson: what can cause immune activation?
Aluminum hydroxide, aka “aluminum adjuvant”.
Discovery #2: Aluminum Adjuvant causes immune activation and is far more neurotoxic than previously thought
The scientific understanding of aluminum adjuvant toxicity has changed and deepened dramatically in recent years (since 2007).
Discovery #3: Aluminum can increase IL-6 in the brain
The evidence for post-natal autism triggers is strong
Discovery #4: Hepatitis B vaccine induces IL-6 in postnatal rats
This new study demonstrates that vaccines can affect brain development via immune activation. Hence, the immune activation experiments are relevant to vaccines…The hep B vaccine increased IL-6 in the hippocampus (the only brain region analyzed for cytokines).”
“Aluminum increased the intensity and duration of macroscopic and histologic inflammation, colonic myeloperoxidase activity, inflammatory cytokines expression, and decreased the epithelial cell renewal compared with control animals. Under basal conditions, aluminum impaired intestinal barrier function. In vitro, aluminum induced granuloma formation and synergized with lipopolysaccharide to stimulate inflammatory cytokines expression by epithelial cells. Deleterious effects of aluminum on intestinal inflammation and mucosal repair strongly suggest that aluminum might be an environmental IBD risk factor.”
“With the discovery of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), the work of leading researchers from 14 countries on the role of adjuvants in different vaccines and how they can induce diverse autoimmune clinical manifestations in genetically prone individuals has been published in the newly released medical textbook, Vaccines and Autoimmunity.”
Mercury in vaccines is dangerous and unjustifiable based on published science. It should be removed from 100% of vaccines immediately.
Synergistic toxicity means that mercury combined with aluminum may be 100x more toxic than either metal by itself, we don’t really know:
“How can 1 + 1 = 100? ‘Synergistic toxicity’ refers to the effect that when exposed to two toxins, the toxicity level is far greater than the additive toxicity levels of the two toxins.”
There are many anecdotal stories that children diagnosed with autism today are “less severe.” Is this true? Is the removal of mercury the reason? There’s no data I can find to support this, so it’s just conjecture for the moment.
However, IF the core hallmark of triggering autism is an immune activation event, than aluminum adjuvant is more likely the central cause, and this matches the reality that autism rates have continued to rise after the removal of MOST mercury from vaccines. Mercury is NOT an immune system antagonist the way aluminum adjuvant is, mercury was in vaccines for its effectiveness as an antibacterial and an anti fungal, not an adjuvant.
VP has very strong opinions about the mercury vs. aluminum adjuvant debate, including this: “There are far more important issues than mercury, such as aluminum adjuvant neurotoxicity, and immune activation injury.”
The most obvious answer is that the MMR vaccine is the first live virus vaccine children receive (it’s typically given between age 12–18 months, most children have received 15–20 vaccines by then), and it’s a triple (measles, mumps, rubella) live virus. For an immune system bathed in aluminum adjuvant and possibly already simmering with activation events, this triple dose might push a child right over the edge. This might explain the seizures (an extreme immune activation event) that sometimes follow the MMR appointment. We also know that children who also receive the varicella vaccine (chicken pox) along with the MMR have higher rates of seizure events. This would make sense, four live viruses at once would likely challenge the immune system more than three, but we can’t explain exactly how the MMR biologically impacts the immune system the way we can for aluminum adjuvant, and now for Hepatitis B vaccine (thanks to Chinese scientists). Dr. Yehuda Shoenfeld discusses the fact that a live vaccine activates the immune system more than a vaccine using aluminum adjuvant:
“It is evident that a live attenuated vaccine is more prone than a killed vaccine to activate the immunity response.”
Question: Didn’t they already prove vaccines don’t cause autism?
No vaccine containing aluminum adjuvant has ever been explored for its relationship to autism, despite a growing and clear body of evidence implicating aluminum adjuvant in causing “immune activation,” the central cause of autism.

Hidden Laws and Guidelines on Informed Consent Could Protect Children Against Mandatory Vaccination
Recently, new laws have emerged surrounding the issue of informed consent, both in the UK and the US. However, very few of us know that these laws exist. We believe that this is because these laws have the potential to protect children against mandatory vaccination.
In the UK, a recent ruling titled The Montgomery Ruling states that a patient must have sufficient information to make an informed choice about any medical treatment that is being offered to them.
In 2015, the website Medical Protection, which outlined this ruling, stated that:
“The patient must have sufficient information to make a choice – without adequate information, patients are unable to make decisions about their treatment. The information provided should, for example, include: an explanation of the investigation, diagnosis or treatment; an explanation of the probabilities of success, or the risk of failure; or harm associated with options for treatment. The patient should be given time to ask questions. The GMC and the courts expect patients to be given all information material to their decision, with the proviso that it would not cause the patient serious harm.”
They continued:
“The patient must be able to give their consent freely – pressuring patients into consenting to treatment invalidates the consent. To ensure that consent is freely given, patients should, where possible, be given time to consider their options before deciding to proceed with a proposed treatment. Be aware, too, that patients’ friends and relatives may also try to exert their influence and that this can be subtle but nevertheless powerful.”
This ruling, which was made following the case of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, has huge implications surrounding the health and safety of hundreds of thousands of children, not only in the UK but worldwide.

Consent – The basics
15 May 2015
Summary
Respect for patients’ autonomy is expressed in consent law; to impose care or treatment on people without respecting their wishes and right to self-determination is not only unethical, but illegal.
Key principles
For consent to be valid:
The patient must be competent – mental capacity is decision-specific. Assessment of a person’s capacity should be based on his/her ability to understand, retain and weigh in the balance the information relevant to a particular decision. The person must also be able to communicate the decision. A patient who is unable to make a decision about a complex proposal is not necessarily incapable of making any decisions at all, and may be perfectly able to consent where the issues are simpler. The starting point in the case of adults is always to presume that the patient has capacity until it is shown otherwise.
The patient must have sufficient information to make a choice – without adequate information, patients are unable to make decisions about their treatment. The information provided should, for example, include: an explanation of the investigation, diagnosis or treatment; an explanation of the probabilities of success, or the risk of failure; or harm associated with options for treatment. The patient should be given time to ask questions. The GMC and the courts expect patients to be given all information material to their decision, with the proviso that it would not cause the patient serious harm.

Autism’s Gut-Brain Connection By Melissa Pandika
Groundbreaking research suggests that a treatment for autism may come in the form of a probiotic.
Stress can send your stomach into a painful tailspin, causing cramps, spasms and grumbling. But trouble in the gut can also affect the brain.
This two-way relationship may be an unlikely key to solving one of medicine’s most pressing — and perplexing — mysteries: autism. Nearly 60 years after the disorder was first identified, the number of cases has surged, and the United Nations estimates that up to 70 million people worldwide fall on the autism spectrum. Yet there is no known cause or cure.
The gut bacteria in individuals with autism aren’t just different… they may actually contribute to the disorder.
But scientists have found promising clues in the gut. Research has revealed striking differences in the trillions of bacteria — a.k.a., the microbiome — in the intestines of children with and without autism. But the gut bacteria in individuals with autism aren’t just different. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have shown for the first time that they may actually contribute to the disorder. They reported in the journal Cell in December 2013 that an experimental probiotic therapy alleviated autism-like behaviors in mice and are already planning a clinical trial.
Today autism is treated primarily through behavioral therapy. But the new study suggests that treatment may one day come in the form of a probiotic — live, beneficial bacteria like those found in yogurt. “If you block the gastrointestinal problem, you can treat the behavioral symptoms,” Paul Patterson, a professor of biology at Caltech who co-authored the study told SFARI.org. University of Colorado Boulder professor Rob Knight hailed the finding as “groundbreaking” in a commentary in Cell.
Autism is a complex spectrum of disorders that share three classic features — impaired communication, poor social engagement and repetitive behaviors. On one end of the spectrum are people who are socially awkward but, in many cases, incredibly sharp. At the other extreme are individuals with severe mental disabilities and behavioral problems.
Treatment for autism may one day come in the form of a probiotic — live, ’friendly’ bacteria like those found in yogurt.
Among the most common health complaints from children with autism? Gastrointestinal problems. Although estimates vary widely, some studies have concluded that up to 90 percent of children with autism suffer from tummy troubles. According to the CDC, they’re more than 3.5 times more likely to experience chronic diarrhea and constipation than their normally developing peers.

Natural News – HuffPost, Slate and Salon all part of a massive vaccine cover-up “conspiracy of silence” to keep poisoning children with mercury
Sunday, February 26, 2017 by: Ethan Huff
(Natural News) The refusal of mainstream media outlets to report on or investigate vaccine safety issues is nothing new: it’s been like this for a long, long time, and is hardly a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to the official narrative for any substantial period of time. But now some “alternative” media outlets like the Huffington Post, Slate, and Salon are doing the exact same thing, aiding and abetting the enemy in keeping things like toxic mercury in childhood vaccines.
As part of his World Mercury Project challenge, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., recently gave a speech at the National Press Club Conference in which he addressed the issue of vaccine safety before a room full of reporters. Among other things, Kennedy talked about how vaccine safety under the current paradigm is a joke, especially when it comes to the continued use of a known mercury-based neurotoxin known as Thimerosal that is still used in influenza and various other vaccines administered to children.
During his speech, Kennedy, who recently met with President Trump about heading a new vaccine safety committee, took aim at journalists who refuse to look into the matter more deeply — which is their job on behalf of the public interest. Rather than honestly investigating the matter, they capitulate to the politically-correct notion that all vaccines are 100 percent safe and effective, and anyone who questions this is a science-denying quack.
“The so-called ‘alternate’ press, which is supposed to be the antidote to the corporate control of our media … they won’t run any kind of debate or criticism of this issue,” says Kennedy. “There’s something wrong with that in democracy that the press, which is the final readout for public scrutiny of institutions and industry, has been completely removed from this debate.”
“You cannot go on TV and talk about this. You cannot go to the press. You will be maligned; you will be marginalized as ‘anti-vax.’”

Over-vaccinating and the overdosing of pet vaccines has become a global issue. 5 lbs dogs are receiving the same dose of the rabies vaccine as 150 lbs Great Danes, and vets are now witnessing terrible side effects.

11 Reasons Why Flu Shots Are More Dangerous Than The Flu Itself

1. The flu shot actually makes you sick to begin with
2. Flu vaccines contain other dangerous ingredients such as mercury
3. The flu shot can cause Alzheimer’s disease
4. The very people pushing flu vaccinations are making billions of dollars each year
5. Lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots
6. Makes you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases
7. Vascular disorders
8. Children under the age of 1 are at risk
9. Increased risk of narcolepsy
10. Weakens immunological responses
11. Serious neurological disorders

Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries

Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries
Attorney Howard Gold of Gold Law Firm, who settled a case for GBS due to a flu vaccine in 2011, remarked:
Petitioners have three (3) years from the onset of the injury (or two years from date of death) to file a claim. Gold states that the “Program is not used as much as it could be because the American public is just not aware of it. I receive at least 5 calls a month from individuals who cannot obtain compensation because the deadline has passed. They just found out about it too late. We all need to do a better job in getting the word out to the public that the Program exists.” (Source.)
In November 2013, a healthy 19-year old young man died from a routine exam that included the flu vaccine. Chandler Webb received the flu shot on October 15th, and then died on November 19th, 28 days later. Since the flu shot is considered safe in the medical field, doctors waited too long to suspect that the flu shot was causing Chandler’s rapidly deteriorating medical condition, according to his mother. She believes that if they had investigated the adverse reaction to the flu shot immediately, he might still be alive today.

Just a quick cursory view of cases that are being compensated by this vaccine court shows that the most cases, by far, are cases for GBS and the flu vaccine.
The U.S Court of Federal Claims provides a referral list of attorneys that specialize in representing clients wanting to file claims for vaccine damages. The list is here, and contains 123 attorneys.
One of the law firms representing clients in the Vaccine Court is Maglio, Christopher, & Toale. This law firm has actually listed cases they have settled in the past couple of years here.
From what appears to be some point in 2010 through 2013, they have settled 132 cases

Preliminary Results: Surveillance for Guillain-Barré Syndrome After Receipt of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine — United States, 2009–2010
GBS incidence was calculated and compared for the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, which were estimated by age group, using data from CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and National 2009 H1N1 Flu Survey (NHFS) telephone survey data for the counties in the EIP catchment areas, using methods published previously (4). The total person-time of follow-up was calculated by multiplying the population under surveillance by the number of days since the start of surveillance, October 1, 2009. Person-time at risk for GBS in the vaccinated population was calculated by multiplying the number of vaccinees by 42 days (or the number of days from vaccination to the end of the surveillance period if <42 days) (1). Children aged 6 months–9 years who received a second dose of 2009 H1N1 vaccine were presumed to have received it 28 days after the first dose, as recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices,¶ giving them an additional 28 days of person-time at risk. To calculate the corresponding person-time in the unvaccinated population, the person time at risk for GBS was summed among the vaccinated population and then subtracted from the total person-time of follow-up under surveillance.
Incidence among the vaccinated population was calculated by dividing the number of GBS cases vaccinated within the risk window by the total amount of person-time at risk following vaccination. Incidence among the unvaccinated population was calculated by dividing the number of GBS cases unexposed to vaccine or exposed to vaccine outside the risk window by the total amount of person-time unexposed to 2009 H1N1 vaccine. Bootstrapping methods were used to estimate 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the rate ratios that incorporated the variance of vaccine coverage estimates (5). A Poisson distribution was assumed for the occurrence of cases and a normal distribution for the vaccine coverage estimates; the Mantel-Haenszel method was used for age-adjusted CIs. A temporal scan statistic was used to assess for any significant clustering in the interval between vaccination and illness onset in vaccinated cases (6).
During October 1, 2009–May 10, 2010, a total of 529 reports of potential GBS were identified by EIP, of which 326 met the GBS case criteria. Of the 326 persons with GBS, 27 had documentation of 2009 H1N1 vaccination in the 42 days preceding illness onset, 274 did not receive vaccine, and the vaccine status of 25 was either unknown (six) or pending ascertainment (19) (Table 1). Sixteen of the 27 (59%) with documentation of 2009 H1N1 vaccination also reported antecedent illness symptoms in the 42 days before GBS onset; 78% of unvaccinated persons with GBS (215 of 274) reported antecedent symptoms (p=0.04). No clustering among vaccinated persons was observed in the period between vaccination and illness onset (p=0.54). Among the 27 GBS patients with 2009 H1N1 vaccination, four required ventilator support, and one remained hospitalized 30 days after GBS onset; among the 274 GBS patients who did not receive 2009 H1N1 vaccination, 37 (14%) required ventilator support, and 34 (12%) remained hospitalized after 30 days. Eight (2%) of the 326 GBS patients died (from any cause); none of the eight had received the 2009 H1N1 vaccine within 42 days of illness onset.
Among patients hospitalized through March 31, 2010, comparison of the incidence of GBS among those who received 2009 H1N1 vaccine and those who did not receive the vaccine revealed an age-adjusted rate ratio of 1.77 (CI = 1.12–2.56) (Table 2). If this preliminary rate ratio is confirmed in end-of-surveillance analyses, the attributable rate of GBS would be 0.71 per 100,000 person-years, corresponding to an attributable risk of 0.8 excess cases of GBS per 1 million vaccinations.**

Risk of Guillain-Barré Syndrome Following H1N1 Influenza Vaccination in Quebec
RESULTS
During the active surveillance period, 61 possible GBS cases were reported to public health authorities. Seventy-seven possible GBS cases were retrospectively identified in the MEDECHO hospital admission database. Thirty-seven cases were found in both sources, for a total of 101 cases. For all 101, medical charts were retrieved and analyzed. Eighteen possible cases were excluded: 12 cases with a final diagnosis other than GBS, 2 recurrent GBS cases, 2 cases with disease onset before October 13, 2009, and 2 other cases with onset after March 31, 2010. Thus, 83 cases were included in the analysis. The overall GBS incidence rate in the study population, representing 3 623 046 person-years of observation, was 2.3 per 100 000.
Of the 83 confirmed GBS cases included in the analysis, 42 had been immunized before disease onset (1-121 days after immunization) and all had received the ASO3 adjuvant H1N1 vaccine. For 25 cases, disease onset was 8 or fewer weeks after the vaccine was administered and they were considered exposed, whereas the 17 other cases were immunized more than 8 weeks before disease onset and were considered unexposed. Thus, for the cohort analysis, 25 GBS cases were considered exposed and 58 cases were considered unexposed.
The characteristics of GBS cases according to exposure status are shown in Table 1. Forty-nine cases were classified in the Brighton level 1 category, 22 cases in level 2, and 12 cases in level 4. The distribution of cases according to diagnostic category was similar in exposed and unexposed cases. The percentage of male patients was 69%. The median age was 49 years (range, 1-89 years). The percentage of elderly patients was higher in the exposed group than the unexposed group. The majority of patients (96%) were hospitalized; 25% developed severe paralysis of the lower limbs and were unable to walk at some point; and 17% developed respiratory distress syndrome and required intubation and/or assisted ventilation. Four patients died, all of whom were older than 60 years. Conditions occurring within 1 month before GBS onset as reported in medical records included a respiratory tract infection or influenzalike illness in 36% of cases, gastroenteritis in 18%, and trauma in 4%. A history of infection during the month prior to hospitalization was less frequent in exposed than in unexposed patients. The median interval between disease onset and hospitalization was 5 days (range, 1-34 days).
Of the 83 confirmed GBS cases identified during the 6-month study period, 56 (67% of total) occurred during a 12-week period from October 18, 2009 (2009 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] week 42) to January 9, 2010 (2010 CDC week 1). The cluster was mostly explained by cases occurring in persons who were recently (≤8 weeks) immunized (22/56). Details on the distribution of cases are provided in eFigure 1.

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)

Vaccines Causing Multiple Sclerosis Nurse Sues Over H1N1 Shot

Court Awards 63 Million to Vaccine Brain Damaged Victims

Flu Shot Causing Brain Disorders & Paralysis
Stepping to the edge of a giant precipice overlooking the medical mayhem and inoculation ineptitudes that have castigated our health and propagate our perceptions, a paralyzing revelation rises to the surface of the ongoing vaccination population reduction program known as immunizations. The H1N1 vaccination is the toxic injection connected to the new spike in the occurrence of Guillain-Barré syndrome a paralyzing nervous disorder in which the body’s immune system begins to attack itself. A new study out of the Lancet shows conclusive evidence that these cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been caused by the 2009 H1N1 Flu vaccination.

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Overview
Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a brief but intense attack of inflammation (swelling) in the brain and spinal cord and occasionally the optic nerves that damages the brain’s myelin (the white coating of nerve fibers). Other terms used to refer to ADEM include post-infectious encephalomyelitis and immune-mediated encephalomyelitis.
ADEM is sometimes difficult to distinguish from multiple sclerosis (MS) because the symptoms common to both “demyelinating” disorders include loss of vision, weakness, numbness and loss of balance. Both ADEM and MS involve immune-mediated responses to myelin in the brain and spinal cord.
What causes ADEM?
The cause of ADEM is not clear but in more than half of the cases, symptoms appear following a viral or bacterial infection, usually a sore throat or cough and very rarely following vaccination. ADEM is thought to be an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly identifies its own healthy cells and tissues as foreign and mounts an attack against them. This attack results in inflammation.  Most cases of ADEM begin about 7 to 14 days after an infection or up to three months following a vaccination. In some cases of ADEM, no preceding event is identified.
Who gets ADEM, and when?
Although ADEM can appear at any age, children are more likely than adults to develop it. More than 80 percent of childhood cases occur in patients younger than 10 years. Most of the remaining cases occur between the ages of 10 and 20 but ADEM is sometimes (rarely) diagnosed in adults. ADEM is thought to affect 1 in every 125,000 to 250,000 individuals in a given year. Five percent of these cases could be associated with vaccination.

ADEM TRIGGERED BY A VACCINE
Compensation is Available Through the Vaccine Injury Court
Can ADEM be Triggered by a Vaccine?
Yes. Viral infection or vaccination can trigger ADEM. ADEM is sometimes diagnosed as a severe first attack of multiple sclerosis (MS) since some of the symptoms of the two disorders, particularly those caused by demyelination, overlap.  However, ADEM usually has symptoms of encephalitis (such as fever or coma), as well as symptoms of myelin damage (visual loss, paralysis), as opposed to MS, which usually doesn’t have encephalitis-like symptoms.  In addition, ADEM usually consists of a single episode or attack, while MS features many attacks over the course of time.  MS, like ADEM, can also be triggered by viral infection or vaccination.
Prognosis of ADEM Triggered by Vaccination
Corticosteroid therapy can shorten the duration of neurological symptoms of ADEM and halt further progression of the disease in the short term, but the long term prognosis for individuals has significant variety.  Studies indicate that half of all patients with ADEM will eventually completely recover. Unfortunately, that leaves the other half that will not.  Of those, the prognoses vary greatly.

OKC Woman Claims Flu Shot Left Her Handicapped
OKLAHOMA CITY –
The flu vaccine is always strongly recommended, but one Oklahoma City woman says the flu shot nearly paralyzed her. She says she got the vaccine five years ago and has been working with doctors and attorneys ever since to prove her case to the federal government.
Once a bubbly, active freshman at the University of Oklahoma, Sydney Rich had asthma, but says it was the H1N1 flu shot in 2010 that drastically changed her life three months after she got the vaccine.
“I was in a coma for about three weeks, and then when I woke up I couldn’t move,” Sydney said.
Now five years later, at 22 years old, Sydney is wheelchair-bound and can barely move the left side of her body.
Sydney says she has an autoimmune disease called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) with lesions on her brain and spinal cord. Doctors told her the condition is a result of her flu shot, but federal health officials say that’s tough to prove.
“It’s not common, extremely rare like one in a million,” said Dr. Susan Mendus, the Education and Training Director for Immunization Service for the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
“The vaccine may not have caused her illness, but her illness may have started around the same time she got the vaccine. It’s very difficult to say with certainty that the vaccine caused something that may have been going to happen on its own.”
Sydney has an attorney working to prove her case with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
