This stunning censored interview (top) was cut from the TV program The Health Century due to its huge liability -- the admission that the Merck drug company has been injecting cancer viruses into people worldwide.

If you find the content shocking, consider watching the second video, the entire movie, "In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism".  

This film is produced and freely distributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, and features the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, explaining why Merck's vaccines have spread AIDS, leukemia, and other horrific plagues worldwide.

It may seem inconceivable to some of you, but disease is Big Business. And, if you're cynical - which seems to become easier with each passing day - it's a way to achieve population control while making huge profits in the process.  

Take this enlightening 2007 investors’ presentation for GlaxoSmithKline, for example. GSK's overall sales performance rose 9 percent in 2006, with pharmaceutical sales totaling (GBP) 20.1 Billion, or just under $40 Billion. Other statistics include:

    * The U.S. market accounts for more than 50 percent (about $20.6 Billion) of all GSK pharmaceutical sales, with an increased sales volume of 16 percent in 2006

* Europe’s pharmaceutical sales went up by 1 percent, and the international market increased by just 6 percent

* Total vaccine sales rose by 23 percent in 2006, bringing in just under $3.4 Billion (1.7 Billion)
* Vaccine sales in the U.S. rose 40 percent, compared to Europe's 20 percent, or the international market's 13 percent

Now, remember - that’s just GlaxoSmithKline’s numbers for ONE year, which does not include sales by any other pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck.

To give you an idea of where Merck stands, in terms of motivation, Merck’s 2005 Annual Report includes Merck's plan to win, which is centered on five strategic actions:


1. We are prioritizing our areas of research, based on scientific opportunity and value to our customers (That's the shareholders, folks, not you!)


2. We are committed to completely redefining our discovery and development process to yield new high-value products more efficiently

3. We will devote more resources to bringing relevant information to payers and consumers, all of whom are becoming more and more involved in the choice of medicines. We will provide more information resources through easily accessible channels - for example, on the Internet and through health professionals (That means more direct advertising, and more bribing of doctors to prescribe their blockbuster drugs)

4. Emerging pharmaceutical markets worldwide provide enormous opportunity because the need for our medicines and vaccines is so great and our ability to meet those needs so clear.

5. We are committed to leading the industry in supply strategy. These actions to dramatically alter our cost structure will make a significant contribution toward our goal of double-digit earnings growth... As Clark, Merck's CEO and president, has said repeatedly, "Effort counts, but results count more, and I am counting on results."

See, pharmaceutical companies are in the business of making money, just like every other competitive business - they're not in the business of protecting public health. In the financial section of Merck's 2005 Annual Report to shareholders we find the following statistics, showing a healthy increase in sales of vaccines as well:

Merck 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Folks, please take the issue of whether to vaccinate or not seriously. Do your homework. You can begin by watching the videos above - it will be worth your time, I guarantee it. Then, you can continue researching through the links provided below. Don’t blindly buy into the lies. Seek the truth. Protect your health, and the health of your loved ones by opting out of dangerous vaccines.

Conventional (pharmaceutical) medicine is the only system of medicine in the world that is so unpopular with informed consumers that it must be administered at the barrel of a gun. There is no other system of medicine anywhere in the world that resorts to such tactics to recruit patients.
 
At the Nov. 17th event in Maryland, activists Jim Moody and Kelly Ann Davis from SafeMinds were able to get in front of TV news cameras and voice their opposition to the coerced vaccination policy. Yet, amazingly, most parents just lined up like cattle ready to be branded, not bothering to question the sanity or legality of the very system in which they were now agreeing to participate.
 
A health freedom blog called Center for the Common Interest also covered the event, and it reports that a local activist named Donovan Hubbard videotaped the event and plans to make the video available online.
 
What's next for Gunpoint Medicine?
 
As the truth continues to emerge about the extreme dangers of vaccinations and pharmaceuticals, Big Pharma is becoming increasingly desperate to coerce the public into relying on its products. It is now working closely with state authorities (including Governors of several states) to mandate the use of vaccinations on young children. This results in the criminalization of parents who refuse to subject their children to these dangerous chemicals.
 
In effect, Big Pharma is hoping to turn "natural health followers" into criminals. The FDA has already 'criminalized' nutritional supplement companies who dare to tell the truth about the health benefits of their supplements.
 
(Read the true history of armed FDA raids on vitamin companies here: http://www.newstarget.com/021791.html )
 
Next, parents who refuse to subject their children to the chemical pharmaceuticals proposed by Big Pharma will be criminalized, rounded up and incarcerated for "refusing to comply with public health policy."
 
This is all being done by the State in the name of "protecting the children" from their own natural health parents. (Insane, isn't it, to think that protecting your child from toxic chemicals is now a criminal act in the United States?)
 
Bottom Line
 
The end game of all this is to apply Gunpoint Medicine tactics to everyone: Adults and senior citizens included. Anyone suffering from high cholesterol, for example, who does not submit to Big Pharma's statin drugs could be arrested, strapped to a table and medicated against their will.
 
People with cancer could be arrested for choosing to treat that cancer with safe and effective botanical medicines instead of patented, high-profit Big Pharma drugs. If you think the prisons are full enough right now from all the arrests for marijuana possession and other victimless crimes, just wait until the State starts arresting all the natural health moms and dads across the country who refuse to participate in the utterly insane and extremely harmful system of medicine that now dominates U.S. health care today.
 
The State is very clear about medicine: If you want to remain a free citizen, you must submit to the synthetic drugs made by the very same corporations that now control government health regulators. Any person who resists such "treatments" will be branded a threat to public health -- a designation just beneath "terrorist" in the eyes of many government bureaucrats.
 
As such, they believe there is no limit to the level of force they may use to coerce such people into submitting to Big Pharma's chemicals.
 
Today, it's armed guards with attack dogs. Tomorrow, it might be water boarding or other torture methods. Think that's impossible? Think again: Just five years ago, nobody in their right mind would have thought that parents who did not want to get their children vaccinated would end up in prison, their children kidnapped by state authorities and forced to subject themselves to dangerous chemical injections at gunpoint.
 
Yet that is precisely what is happening right now in the state of Maryland. It happened on Saturday, in fact.
 
Where is the outrage?
 
What's most interesting about this issue of using the threat of imprisonment to force vaccinations upon children is not necessarily who is speaking out against it, but who has chosen to remain silent.
 
The American Medical Association, for example, has said nothing in opposition to the policy. Neither has the Food and Drug Administration. Where is the outrage from the Maryland Hospital Association?
 
None of these organizations seem to have a problem with Gunpoint Medicine. The idea of rounding up parents and coercing their children into receiving injections of toxic chemicals does not seem to bother these organizations. And why should it? All of these organizations are closely tied to Big Pharma. They're all in favor of vaccinations for all, it seems, and I have no doubt that some individuals in these organizations (especially the AMA) are strongly in favor of the Gunpoint Medicine coerced vaccination policy being played out in Maryland right now.
 
Organized medicine believes the People are too stupid to be allowed to make their own health decisions. Bureaucrats and physicians should be the ones making these decisions, we're told, and any person who disagrees with such decisions should be labeled a criminal, arrested and prosecuted.
 
This is no exaggeration. It is, in fact, a shockingly accurate description of Maryland's current vaccination policy.It wasn't too long ago that Americans would have stood up and rallied against this kind of medical tyranny. The major news networks would have denounced Maryland's vaccination policy with strong language and harsh accusations. People would have been marching in the streets, demanding their health freedom.
 
But today, it's a different America. The People are drugged up on pharmaceuticals and dosed on fluoride. They're too intoxicated to think straight, and they're frightened into submission by a fear-based government that invokes domestic tyranny at every opportunity to control and manipulate the People into doing whatever it wants.
 
The "free" America we all once knew is long gone, and it has been replaced with The United States of Corporate America, where police tactics are now used to enforce hazardous public health policies, and the people who run the State no longer think there's anything wrong with rounding up the population at gunpoint and performing large-scale medical experiments on their children.
 
That's what modern vaccines are, after all: A grand medical experiment whose effects will only become known after a generation of mass poisoning has come and gone.

[via Rinse.com] 

Following the State of Maryland's threats against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, children were herded into a Price George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.
 
The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail, removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination policies.
 
The entire campaign against these parents is blatantly illegal. There is no law in Maryland requiring the vaccination of children, thus parents who refuse to do so may not be legally charged with violating any law. Instead, Maryland health and school authorities are using Gestapo-like tactics, threatening to charge the parents with child truancy violations, criminalizing them for daring to protect their children from the dangerous chemicals found in vaccines (including thimerosal, a chemical additive containing a neurotoxic form of mercury.)
 
The desperation of organized medicine is becoming increasingly apparent. As more and more parents are becoming informed about the dangers of vaccinations and their link to autism, state health authorities are increasingly turning to "Gunpoint Medicine" to force the People to submit to the poisons of conventional medicine. Parents who attempt to save their children from deadly chemotherapy chemicals are being arrested and having their children kidnapped by Child Protective Services (see http://www.newstarget.com/Abraham_Cherrix.html ), and oncologists who used to be armed only with radiation machines and chemotherapy injectors are now arming themselves with U.S. Marshals and other local law enforcement authorities who are using loaded firearms to enforce "the will of the State" against parents who resist.
 
Even the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced its strong opposition to the Maryland "Gunpoint Medicine" vaccination campaign. In a press release published Nov. 16, the AAPS states: The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons today condemned the "vaccine roundup" executed in Prince George's county Maryland this week, and promised to do everything it can to support parents who refuse to immunize their children.
 
"This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights," said Kathryn Serkes, director of policy for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), one of the few national physician groups that refuse corporate funding from pharmaceutical companies.
 
In a scenario reminiscent of cattle round-ups, the state's attorney has issued summons to more than 1600 parents of children who have not provided certificates of immunization for their children. But instead of toting a cattle prod, this state's attorney chooses to wield a syringe to keep the "herd" in line.

You have probably seen your nurse insert a syringe into a large vial, extract some liquid, and then leave a substantial amount of vaccine in the original container. If you've witnessed this seemingly benign procedure, you've seen how vaccine manufacturers are saving money at the expense of public health. In order to store larger amounts of vaccine at a lower cost, companies began offering "multi-dose units" while adding preservatives to prevent contaminations. That way doctors can open and close a vaccine container, inviting germs into the once-sterile solution, while assuring the public that those contaminants are quickly killed by the preservative.
 
Sound familiar? It's the same story of corporate America's love affair with preservatives. It saves them money, while posing an undue risk to your health. But like many toxic preservatives found in food, a vaccine preservative kills more than just bacteria and fungi; it can lead to extensive neurological damage in your children, and has even been implicated in autism.
 
Thimerosal
 
Thimerosal is the preservative of choice for vaccine manufacturers. First introduced by Eli Lilly and Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the company began selling it as a preservative in vaccines in the 1940s. Thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury by weight and is metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Mercury, or more precisely, ethylmercury, is the principle agent that kills contaminants. Unfortunately, mercury also kills much more than that.
 
The Department of Defense classifies mercury as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Studies indicate that mercury tends to accumulate in the brains of primates and other animals after they are injected with vaccines.
 
Mercury poisoning has been linked to cardiovascular disease, autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and many other nervous system conditions. That's why the FDA rigorously limits exposure to mercury in foods and drugs. Some common sources of mercury include dental amalgam fillings, various vaccines and certain fish contaminated by polluted ocean waters.
 
The toxicity of mercury has never been in question. The real question is precisely how much mercury-laced thimerosal is toxic, and what are the possible consequences for our children at low doses?
 
Eli Lilly and Co. supposedly answered this question for us back in 1930. Concluding thimerosal to be of "a very low order of toxicity . . . for man," the company hired its own doctors to perform thimerosal experiments in Indianapolis City Hospital on meningitis patients during a severe outbreak in 1929. This 60-year-old evidence was still quoted on the company's brochures as recently as 1990. Andrew Waters, who is involved in a lawsuit against Eli Lilly, claims that most critical studies on the toxicity of thimerosal were suppressed by the company until now.
 
Banned Around The World - But Not In The US
 
That might explain why thimerosal was eliminated in many countries 20 years ago. In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later. Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from children's vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative.
 
Eli Lilly stuck to its "scientific" facts, but the truth began slipping between the cracks in 1999. After the number of immunizations rose to 12 to 15 per child, the public finally became privy to the possible dangers of thimerosal. One 1999 study revealed that some infants, due to a genetic or developmental factor, lack the ability to eliminate mercury. Trace amounts of mercury in these infants, when accumulated over several vaccines, could pose a severe health risk.
 
Some vaccines, such as vaccines for hepatitis B, contained as much as 12.5 micrograms of mercury per dose. That's more than 100 times the EPA's upper limit standard when administered to infants.
 
Hepatitis B vaccines aren't the only immunizations under suspicion. According to Burton Goldberg in Alternative Medicine, scientists are finding stronger and stronger links between thimerosal and neurological damage. One report by Dr. Vijendra Singh of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan found a higher incidence of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) antibodies in autistic children.
 
The National Vaccine Information Center in Vienna, Virginia, has noted a strong association between the MMR vaccine and autistic features. Reporting similar findings, the Encephalitis Support Group in England claims that children who became autistic after the MMR vaccine started showing autistic symptoms as early as 30 days after vaccination. The diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine (DPT) given at two, four and six months has triggered autistic symptoms, as well.
 
When the FDA finally formally released this information in 1999, the news came too little too late for some parents. The damage had already been done.
 
Links Betweem Autism And Thimerosal
 
Autism affects 500,000 to 1.5 million Americans and has grown at an annual rate of 10 to 17 percent since the late 1980s. California found a 273 percent increase in autism between 1987 and 1998. Maryland reported a 513 percent increase in autism between 1993 and 1998 and several dozen other states reported similar findings. Some scientists say the estimated number of cases of autism has increased 15-fold ­1,500 percent ­ since 1991, when the number of childhood vaccinations doubled. Whereas one in every 2,500 children was diagnosed with autism before 1991, one in 166 children now have the disease.
 
This increase in reported autism cases eerily parallels the increase in the number and frequency of thimerosal-containing vaccinations administered to infants. As of today, children are given as many as 21 immunizations in the first 15 months of life. After a number of scientists and concerned activists noticed the correlation, an investigation was launched to get to the heart of the matter.
 
Statistical evidence links thimerosal with nervous system disorders In June 2000, federal officials and industry representatives were assembled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to discuss the disturbing evidence. According to Tom Verstraeten, an epidemiologist who had analyzed the data on the CDC's database, thimerosal appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and other neurological disorders. Verstraeten told those at the meeting that a number of earlier studies indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism.
 
Verstraeten offered no possible cause for this correlation, but held that the statistical evidence linking vaccines and neurological disorders was strong. Dr. Bill Weil, a consultant for the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado, presented similar concerns to the group. However, given no causal relationship, the CDC and industry representatives were quick to discredit the evidence.
 
Consequently, the CDC paid the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct another study on thimerosal. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this study was fixed in order to "whitewash" previous findings. In its 2001 report, the IOM's Immunization Safety Review Committee did conclude that the link between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders was biologically plausible, though the evidence neither proved nor negated it. The Committee stated that phasing out thimerosal from vaccines was "a prudent measure in support of the public health goal to reduce mercury exposure of infants and children as much as possible."
 
However, these findings offered no imperative. The data presented at the 2000 meeting was withheld from publication and the link between thimerosal and autism remained "inconclusive."
 
But what does "inconclusive" mean? Well, that depends on who you talk to. According to the FDA, these "inconclusive" findings negate the risk of a causal relationship between thimerosal and autism. Even Tom Verstraeten, one of the presenters of epidemiological evidence at the CDC meeting, seemingly changed his tune a bit. In 2000, Verstraeten vigorously campaigned against thimerosal based upon his "inconclusive" correlation, but after he was hired by GlaxoSmithKline, the doctor changed his position. The same evidence from 2000, in Verstraeten's eyes, became "neutral" in 2003. After criticism for this apparent flip-flop, Verstaeten wrote a letter to the editor of Pediatrics in 2004 backing the CDC's actions and his own research methods. Merck continues selling vaccines with thimerosal.
 
Without an imperative to eradicate thimerosal immediately, vaccine manufacturers like Merck & Co. seemingly took their time in reducing thimerosal levels in vaccines. After a large public outcry in 1999, Merck & Co. began decreasing or eliminating the amount of thimerosal in its vaccines. In September 1999, Merck announced that its new line of vaccines were preservative-free, but still continued to distribute the remainder of thimerosal-preserved vaccines until 2001. Only after a congressional inquiry in 2002 did they stop distributing their stockpile. Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., called Merck's actions "misleading."
 
While officials at the Center for Disease Control claim evidence is lacking to support the possible risks of thimerosal, Dr. Mark Geier, a Maryland geneticist and vaccinologist, along with his son and research partner David Geier, says the CDC has chosen to ignore the science. According to Dr. Geier, more than 5,000 articles have been published that question the safety of thimerosal in vaccines.
 
The Geiers analyzed the data and determined that the more thimerosal a child receives, the greater his or her chances are of being autistic. The CDC says the Geiers misused information from a CDC database that was not intended to help prove theories. Given no real causal mechanism linking thimerosal and autism, the game seems to have become one of slanting the data to suit the needs of government and industrial interests. Even Verstraeten has admitted that these "inconclusive" findings certainly don't rule out the possibility of finding a link in the future.
 
Grassroots Action Against Vaccine Manufacturers
 
Given the dearth of health organizations owning up to the dangers of thimerosal, many parents followed their gut instincts and took legal action against vaccine manufacturers. More than 4,200 families have filed lawsuits claiming thimerosal caused injuries to their children. These lawsuits often have two goals: First, to seek reparations for the loss of consortium (basically meaning that an autistic child creates emotional and psychological burdens on their family life), and second, to ensure that these companies exercise more concern for public health and less concern for their own bottom line.
 
The lawsuits are slow in producing results. The first constraint on these lawsuits is the National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986. This act stipulates that victims cannot seek redress in the courts without first filing a claim for recovery in the federal Vaccine Court. The statute of limitations for this is within three years of "the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of the significant aggravation of a [vaccine-related] injury."
 
In the cases of many thimerosal victims, the link between autism and vaccines didn't appear until six years after the first vaccine was administered. While this statute has stopped some claims against vaccine manufacturers, including such big firms as Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and Johnson & Johnson, many judges are now allowing suits against Eli Lilly, the maker of thimerosal, to stand. While the Vaccine Act shields vaccine manufacturers, one judge reasons that the legislation does not protect the production of thimerosal because it is a "component."
 
The burden of proof in court is also extremely problematic for most of these suits. Given the supposed lack of scientific data, lawyers are hard-pressed to prove the link between thimerosal and autism. In what seems like an underhanded move, the CDC sold its data to a private company, ensuring that lawyers could not access it under the Freedom of Information Act.
 
In the past five years, Congress has also aided vaccine manufacturers, supposedly for "security" reasons. In 2002, a mysterious piggyback on the 2002 Homeland Security bill freed drug companies of liability in lawsuits regarding thimerosal. Called the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" by outraged parents and activists, the then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey told CBS News he snuck the amendment in to keep vaccine-makers from going out of business. Armey claimed it was a matter of national security. "We need their vaccines if the country is attacked with germ weapons."
 
Ironically, foreign biological terrorism hasn't been a big problem for American citizens, but those whose lives (and the lives of their children) have been affected if not ruined by the harmful effects of thimerisol would undoubtedly say these potentially harmful vaccines are indeed a problem. Armey's piggyback bill was repealed in 2003, but that didn't stop lawmakers from continuing to protect the vaccine industry.
 
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is no stranger to the thimerosal debate, having received $873,000 in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry and $10,000 from Eli Lilly. Frist's position allowed him to attempt to help the industry from the inside, according to Kennedy. Kennedy reports that on five occasions, Frist tried to seal the government's vaccine-related documents and shield Eli Lilly from subpoenas. Frist also introduced a provision in the 2005 Senate Bill S-3 called the "Protecting America in the War on Terror Act," that would effectively insulate the pharmaceutical industry from liability for thimerosal poisoning. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Aventis, Weyeth and Eli Lilly, can basically get off scot-free for their actions, even as more and more evidence suggests that top company officials were aware of the possible dangers and did nothing.
 
A secret memo leaked to the Los Angeles Times reportedly implicates one vaccine manufacturer, Merck & Co., for knowing that thimerosal could pose serious threats to infants. Allegedly, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, one of Merck's top scientists, warned the president of Merck of a possible threat as early as 1991. Dr. Hilleman told executives that six-month-old children receiving regular immunizations frequently received mercury doses 87 times higher than guidelines for the maximum consumption of mercury. Given today's more prudent mercury standards, those thimerosal doses would be 400 times that of safe levels.
 
Dr. Hilleman recommended in the memo that thimerosal be discontinued. Not only do government and industry officials seem to be trying to downplay the possible harms of thimerosal; the media is also denying the issue coverage. Just recently, ABC flip-flopped on whether it will air interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr., a leading critic of thimerosal. ABC has been accused of suppressing the interviews because of its ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
 
The Thimerosal Debate Continues
 
Along with the enormous amount of controversy surrounding this issue, the five-year-old plea for "more research" may have finally produced some results. Burton Goldberg notes that a defect in the myelinization process (insulation of nerve fibers) could explain mercury's propensity to cause autism and neurological damage. This may also account for the frequent development of epilepsy in older autistic children.
 
Scientists are also working on biological links that support the strong correlations. Researchers at Northeastern University, working with scientists from the University of Nebraska, Tufts and Johns Hopkins University, may have recently found the mechanism by which thimerosal interferes with brain activity. If these researchers are right, vaccine manufacturers could do little to keep the damaging effects of thimerosal hidden.
 
Pharmacy professor Richard Deth and colleagues found that exposure to thimerosal potently interrupts growth factor signaling, causing adverse effects on the transfer of carbon atoms. These carbon atoms play a significant role in regulating normal DNA function and gene expression and are critical to proper neurological development. Additionally, the scientists recently obtained more insight into the mechanism by which thimerosal interferes with folate-dependent methylation. The mechanism inhibits the biosynthesis of the active form of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), a vitamin now being administered to autistic children.
 
The Experts Speak On Mercury, Vaccines And Thimerosal
 
All childhood vaccines now have at least one mercury-free version, and I urge parents to ask for those versions if they choose to vaccinate their children. Injecting mercury into children, especially infants whose immune systems are still underdeveloped (hepatitis B shots are typically given at birth, before the immune system has developed), can be an assault to the immune system.

In 1999, studies began to surface showing that multi-dose vial vaccines, such as the MMR and hepatitis B vaccines, contained enough thimerosal to expose vaccinated children to 62.5 ug of mercury per visit to the pediatrician. This is one hundred times the dose considered safe by the Federal Environmental Protection Guidelines for infants! Worse yet, some infants will receive doses even higher; because thimerosal tends to settle in the vial. If it is not shaken up before being drawn, the first dose will contain low concentrations of mercury and the last dose will contain enormously high concentrations. If your baby is the unlucky one that gets the last dose, serious brain injury can result

Thousands of families say they can demonstrate with videotapes and photos that their children were normal prior to being vaccinated, reacted badly to the vaccines, and became autistic shortly thereafter. The number of vaccines given before age two has risen from 3 in 1940, when autism occurred in perhaps one case per 10,000 births, to 22 different vaccines given before the age of two in the year 2000.

We know that certain forms of mercury, such as methylmercury and phenylmercury, are highly lipid soluble, which makes the brain especially susceptible to mercury accumulation. These forms of mercury are found in vaccines as the preservative thimerosal. Once in the brain, it tends to attach itself to protein structures, especially to the cell membrane, where it can disrupt membrane functions.23 By binding to the cell membrane, mercury changes the membrane's fluid-like quality, making it stiffer and causing the cell to age faster.24 The brain is unique in that neurons depend on special microscopic tube-like structures within the cell, appropriately called neurotubules, for their function. These neurotubules are manufactured by the cell from a substance called tubulin. We know that mercury interacts with tubulin causing it to unravel. Studies in rats have shown that doses of mercury corresponding to those seen in humans can cause a 75 percent increase in tubulin inhibition.

In the case of the susceptible newborn infant and toddler, multiple exposures to mercury-containing and multiple antigen vaccines are highly suspect in the causation of multiple organ injury (Bernard et al. 2000). The GI tract, the liver, the pancreas, the kidneys, the immune system, and the brain are major sites of mercury absorption. Researchers have clearly shown a chronic inflammatory bowel disease due to vaccine strain measles in a subset of children with autism (Thompson et al. 1995; Wakefield et al. 1995, 1999, 2000a,b; Kawashima et al. 2000; Pardi et al. 2000; Uhlmann et al. 2002).

Studies of autistic children have frequently shown very high levels of mercury, with no other source but vaccines found for the exposure. These levels are equal to those seen in adults during toxic industrial exposures. Several autism clinics have found dramatic improvements in the behavior and social interactions in children from whom the mercury was chelated. Results depended on how soon the mercury was removed following exposure, but permanent damage can be caused if the metal is not chelated soon enough. Still, even in cases of severe damage, because of the infant brain's tremendous reparative ability, improvements are possible. The problem of autism involves numerous body systems including the gastrointestinal, immune and nervous systems; as a result we see numerous infections and magnified effects of malnutrition. Intrepid workers in the shadows, that is outside the medial establishment, have worked many miracles with these children using a multidisciplinary scientific approach completely ignored by the orthodoxy. Some children have even experienced a return to complete physiological normalcy.

Mercury and autism mercury toxicity is a suspected cause of a steep rise-a tenfold increase between 1984 and 1994-in diagnosed cases of autism in children around the world, according to some scientists. Specifically, the culprit is thimerosal, a mercury-based compound used as a preservative in vaccines commonly administered to babies and infants. thimerosal-free vaccines are available. If you have a child who will be receiving vaccinations, ask for and make sure thimerosal-free vaccines are used. Kelp, with its essential minerals (especially calcium and magnesium), helps remove unwanted metal deposits.

The pertussis vaccine (DPT) may cause 45,000 cases of autism per year in America, affecting 15 cases out of 10,000 vaccinations; also caused by the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) that causes mental impairment, gastrointestinal damage, and increased mortality in 6-12 months from impaired immunity; 9 out of 10 cases were not breast-fed; eating dairy products caused parasites in the autistic (take Vermex; contact Dr. Nelson in Mexico for control of parasites in children with autism). There are now over 500,000 victims of autism residing in the United States, in 1994. The pertussis vaccination is not used in Sweden, which has virtually 0 cases of autism, as does Holland.
 
This mental illness afflicts environmentally and socially non-reactive persons, of withdrawn personality; with inability to speak, violenttantrums, insomnia, actions such as bolting across aroad with no regard for the dire consequences. May be caused infant antibiotic use in ear infections with subsequent yeast overgrowth, by cumulative genetic Brain damage, Vitamin deficiencies, or milk and additives allergies. Immune disorders in autism include white blood cellneutrophil Myeloperoxidase enzyme deficiency for insufficient hypochlorite ions to kill yeast - genetic type from Chromosome 17 mutation or biotinidase deficiency, or acquired type from lead poisoning, Folic acid or B-l 2 deficiency, infection or leukemias

Multiple vaccinations, especially in newborns, are another major source of childhood mercury exposure because of the mercury-containing thimerosal preservative. Over twenty-two vaccinations are now recommended for children before the age of two!

In addition, there is some anecdotal evidence that autism may be tied to diet. One theory is that, in very rare cases, a child's immune system could be weakened by the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination (MMR), which is usually administered before a child turns 2. As a result of this weakening, the theory goes, the child's digestive system is unable to break down certain food proteins, leading to abnormal brain development. Proponents of this theory believe that putting the child on a diet that eliminates certain foods, such as wheat and dairy products, could in certain cases reverse the course of the disease. This theory remains speculative, however, and research needs to be done to determine its validity. In fact, a 2001 report issued by an Institute of Medicine committee examining studies about the health effects of the MMR vaccine in young children suggests that there is no proven link between the vaccine and autism. The committee recommends that there be no change in immunization practices that require children to be immunized during early childhood.

Rather than calling for an all-out immediate ban on thimerosal-containing vaccines, they suggested that parents continue to have their children vaccinated with mercury-contaminated vaccines until new stocks of uncontaminated vaccine could be made available. Here are two doctors' unions that had to be beat over the head with an overwhelming amount of data that mercury-contaminated vaccines were harming children far worse than the actual diseases against which the vaccine was intended to protect them, only to have them suggest that parents continue to harm their children just to satisfy their vaccination obsession.
 
Are you surprised to discover that recent investigations have found that several doctor-members of vaccine boards were either receiving grants from vaccine manufacturers or held stock in the companies? They were willing to sacrifice the health of millions of children just to fill their pockets with cash. These people should be looking through bars, not serving on boards.

Vaccines may afflict 45,000 cases of autism per year in America, which afflicts 15 victims in every 10.000 births: there are now 5 00,000 of these victims in the U.S. In Sweden not using the pertussis vaccine, there is virtually no autism (and likewise in Holland).

Many symptoms of autism are similar to those of mercury poisoning. Immune dysfunction, visual disturbances, and motor dysfunction are seen in both. Treating autistic children for removal of mercury and other heavy metals has shown significant improvement in their autistic symptoms. Most autistic individuals have poor liver detoxification, low antioxidant levels, and low levels of glutathione. Vaccines are effective, but the production and use of vaccines should proceed more cautiously. Currently manufactured vaccines still contain harmful substances like mercury. The link between vaccines and autism is far stronger than the medical community is willing to admit, and more research in this area should be an urgent priority.

Studies indicate that autism may be the result of adverse reactions to childhood vaccinations. Dr. Alan Cohen, an environmental physician from Connecticut, notes that high levels of autism and attention deficit disorder (ADD) did not occur until the mandatory use of childhood vaccinations, and suggests that there may be a connection between certain vaccines and the onset of these conditions.

Almost from the inception of vaccination programs, manufacturers added a mercury preservative called thimerosal to vaccines. The practice continued until recently, and was stopped only because of the outcry from thousands of concerned parents and numerous experts in the field. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice did not warn parents or pediatricians that the mercury was dangerous until they were forced to. That mercury was toxic to cells had been known for over sixty years, but manufacturers apparently were more worried about lawsuits

The committee recommends that there be no change in immunization practices that require children to be immunized during early childhood. Another disorder affecting the brain, Alzheimer's disease, may also have an immune connection. Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease that slowly attacks nerve cells in the brain. It eventually results in the loss of all memory and mental functioning. Scientists are currently investigating the role that the immune system plays in producing an overabundance of the amino acid glutamate, a powerful nerve-cell killer. Another immune connection that researchers are investigating is the idea that Alzheimer's might be triggered, in part, by a virus.

In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen between 200 and 500 per cent in every state in the U.S. This sharp increase in autism followed the introduction of MMR vaccine in 1975. Representative Dan Burton's healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one day. These injections were followed by autism.

"Probably 20% of American children, one in five, suffers from a "development disability'," according to Harris Coulter, Ph.D., Founder and Director of the Center for Empirical Medicine, in Washington, D.C. "This is a stupefying figure and we have inflicted it on ourselves. 'Development disabilities' are nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis in the U.S. and other industrialized countries is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of U.S. children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other branches of the hydra-headed entity called 'development disabilities' owe their disorders to one of the vaccines against childhood diseases."

Just for perspective if we go back to 1971 up to 1980, we see that California consistently added 100 to 200 new cases a year; but in the year 2002, California added 3,577 new cases. Since 1980, the documented start of California's autism epidemic, the number of new cases has steadily increased. If we break down those statistics it means that from 1994 to 1995, California only added on average 2 new autistic children a day into its system. In 2001, it was a rate of 8 new autistic children added a day; in 2002, it jumped up to 10 children a day. mercury-containing vaccines are still in use today, including the most recently recommended addition to the childhood immunization schedule, 2 shots of flu vaccine for infants, bringing the total number of vaccines up to 41 in California that a child will receive before the age of two. It will take a few years to start seeing the effect of the phasing out of the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal from childhood vaccines on this autism epidemic.

Since the 1990s, there has been a tenfold or 1000-percent increase in autism, an increase which has been linked by some researchers to the organic mercury preservative commonly found in baby vaccines. A greatly increased incidence of juvenile diabetes has been correlated to specific vaccination sequences and to the number of vaccines given. In some Australian Aboriginal communities, every second child died shortly after vaccination.

The best current estimates are that autism occurs in 40 to 67 children per 10,000 live births. This means that the prevalence of autism has increased 1,000 percent in the last decade. According to the latest figures just released in January 2003 by the California Department of Developmental Services, California experienced an astounding 31 percent increase in the number of new children.

Nine Australians are believed to be among thousands of people who are unaware a once-promising vaccine for AIDS has increased their infection risk, after they participated in clinical trials around the world.

The multinational trials involving more than 3,000 HIV-negative volunteers were cancelled in September after a large-scale study found the vaccine was not effective at preventing infection.

Researchers have this morning revealed far worse news - those who received the V520 vaccine are more susceptible to acquiring the AIDS virus.

It is understood nine of the 18 people from Sydney involved in the study were given the HIV vaccine but do not know.

The volunteers were warned to protect themselves from exposure to AIDS but were not told if they were administered the vaccine or the inactive placebo.

The information was kept secret to minimise biases in the study.

Scientists will decide over the next 10 days whether those involved in the trial should be told about whether they were given the vaccine or not.

US pharmaceutical giant Merck, which helped develop V520, says volunteers can opt out of the study now and be told if they were given the HIV vaccine.

All but one of the infections were in male volunteers and the bulk of those infected were homosexual men.

Scientists baffled

The study started 18 months ago after 20 years of research and development to get the vaccine to human trials.

Its chief researcher in Australia, Dr Tony Kelleher from the University of New South Wales, told ABC reporter Karen Barlow in May last year there was no chance for the vaccine to cause HIV infection because it carried so little of the virus.

Researchers say that is still the case but somehow things went horribly wrong with the phase-two trial.

Of the people who had the HIV vaccine, 49 became infected with the virus, whereas only 33 in the placebo group became infected.

The vice-president of Merck's research team, Keith Gottesdiener, says the trial was abruptly stopped two months ago because V520 was not preventing infection.

"We are analysing the data to try to determine if the results are due to immune responses induced by the vaccine, differences in study populations, or some other biological phenomenon we don't yet understand, or simply due to chance," he said.

"It will take some time before we understand why the vaccine did not work and why there was a trend toward more cases of infection in volunteers who received the vaccine."

Doctor Larry Corey from the US Vaccine and Infectious Disease Institute says its too soon to establish whether the virus caused the increased infection rates.

"One of the possibilities is that the increase in the number of infections could be related to the vaccine, there are many other possibilities as well," he said.

"My own opinion is that it's way too early to really answer and the data is way too complex and there's no simple answer to that question."

Cold virus

The trial vaccine used a disabled form of the common-cold virus to carry three synthetically produced HIV genes into the body.

It appears people who had higher levels of immune protection against the virus before getting the vaccine were at highest risk of acquiring HIV.

The vaccine did not contain live HIV. It had been well tolerated in smaller clinical trials and had produced immune responses.

The trial was also conducted in North America, South America, the Caribbean and South Africa.

Religious and personal objection forms not included in information pack, police followed advocacy reporters to bathroom, kids herded in line to take shots with no regard to medical or vaccine history

Parents of children in Prince George's County Maryland were kept in the dark about their right to opt out of vaccines as over a thousand kids were herded into a courthouse to be injected while authorities kept a close watch on advocacy groups and reporters who tried to inform parents that there was no law to mandate the shots.

Parents were threatened with fines and jail time last week if they failed to have their children immunized, after schools kicked out kids for not taking the Hepatitis B vaccine.

According to observers who were able to gain access to the courthouse, children with a history of medical issues were not properly screened as parents were simply told to get in line and have their kids take the shots.

  "Many of those in line said their children were properly immunized, but the school system had misplaced the records. They said efforts to get the paperwork straightened out beforehand had been futile," reported the Associated Press.

In the following video, Kelli Ann Davis, a member of SafeMinds, a national autism advocacy organization, whose son Miles was diagnosed with autism in 2002 as a result of mercury poisoning from vaccines, relates how she was also followed by police with dogs to the bathroom after being told she "was not one of them".

She also explains how the information packs handed out to parents before they lined up to have their kids take the shots failed to include waiver forms giving parents the right to opt out due to personal, religious or medical reasons.

State Attorney Glenn Ivey, who admitted during a radio interview last week that no law mandated the shots and also that he had chosen not to give his kids the vaccines, confirmed that exemption forms were available from the back of the room. However, when asked if they were aware of the right to opt out, parents were miffed. News reports failed to cite any cases where parents had opted out as a result of signing waiver forms.

According to an Associated Press report, over a thousand children were vaccinated on Saturday, leaving around 1100 who did not show up to the courthouse. The fact that mandatory shots were being doled out in court after parents had been threatened with arrest, reminiscent of some nightmarish science fiction horror movie, and potentially dangerous in itself, was also overlooked by mainstream news coverage.

On Friday, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons condemned the case as a "vaccine roundup."

AAPS also pointed out a blatant conflict of interest, highlighting the fact that the school district is set to lose a windfall in state funding unless students comply with the vaccine order.

With the state still hell-bent of getting over a thousand other children to take the shots, this case is far from over, and charges that parents have been subject to an intimidation campaign while not being properly informed of the exemption process will continue.

Growing number of parents opting out following Jenny McCarthy media blitz about link to autism

by Paul Joseph Watson

Concerned parents across the U.S. are leading a nationwide revolt against unnecessary, untested and dangerous vaccines as CDC records show a growing amount of religious exemptions on vaccine forms, following a media blitz by Jenny McCarthy in which she blamed a vaccine for causing her son's autism.

Far from the biased and prejudiced context in which the Associated Press headline framed it - 'Parents take a shot at lying on vaccine forms' - the move comes as a result of increased understanding and education about the dangers of vaccines.

Most recently, actress and model Jenny McCarthy's appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show and numerous other prime time TV programs has spurred women to seriously investigate the link between autism in babies and young children and vaccinations.

McCarthy's new book, Louder than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism, is partly about her contention that her son's autism was caused primarily by a combined vaccination administered around the age of 18 months.

McCarthy discusses her book and the link between autism and vaccines on The View, ABC's flagship daytime show.

Increased sensitivity about immunization is also a consequence of the growing awareness of the fact that vaccines are not mandatory - a hoax played out by authorities across the U.S., most recently by Texas Governor Rick Perry in the case of the HPV vaccine .

In that instance, a media propaganda bandwagon aided in disseminating the myth that the untested and dangerous shot that has already been linked with devastating side-effects, which Perry and his cronies were bought off to peddle by Merck, had become "the law" despite the fact that Perry's executive order only "recommended" that parents give their kids the vaccine.

There is no law in America, aside from those applying to medical workers, that says you or your child has to take any vaccine whatsoever, no matter what any executive order, requirement, mandate or policy dictates, there is no situation where you can go to prison for refusing a government vaccine under the U.S. constitution and the law of the land.

The mass media drumbeat constantly conditions people to believe that if they don't take their shots they will be kicked out of school, arrested and thrown in jail. This trick will continue to hoodwink Americans into taking all manner of dangerous and untested vaccines, the number of which rises every year, until they realize that there is no law that forces them to take any vaccine .

Mercury is still being added to vaccines at completely unsafe levels considering the fact that it is a known neuro-toxin. A recent study undertaken by the University of Calgary unveiled concrete evidence that mercury ions alter the cell-membrane of developing neurons in babies and young children, directly contributing to autism (watch above).

Autism rates have exploded in the U.S. but researchers have noticed that there are no instances of the disease in the Amish community and virtually no cases reported in the third world.

Vaccines and drugs that are not stringently tested and are instead foisted upon populations for the purposes of making obscene profits have a clear history of deadly consequences.

Consider the case of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, who deliberately dumped a vaccine that was known to be contaminated with AIDS virus on the European and Latin American market after it killed people in America. Thousands died from an action that the U.S. government allowed to happen through the FDA.

Peruse the plethora of examples where vaccines containing mercury, live HIV virus, live cancer and other horrors have wrought misery after victims were bullied into taking them by government mandates that they were deluded into thinking was the law.

The history alone, a legacy that led former director of the National Institute of Health Dr. James R. Shannon to state, "The only safe vaccine is one that is never used," implores us to educate others on the dangers of vaccines and ensure that similar executive orders such as Rick Perry's in Texas are not passed elsewhere in the country as a result of cynical greed driven lobbying and corporate crony payoffs.

Parents across the country are beginning to realize that the explosion in rates of childhood autism, ADHD and other illnesses are directly caused by the ever-increasing number of dangerous and untested vaccinations that overwhelm a child's immune system with deadly toxins and poisons like mercury.

The national revolt against dangerous vaccines is growing apace but it is likely to be countered by a PR backlash on behalf of pharmaceutical giants and the government in an attempt to scare parents into believing that all vaccinations are necessary and that it is against the law to block their child from receiving them. It is down to us to help educate parents about the lethal history of vaccinations and why their number should be drastically reduced, especially for infants and children.

Dr. Blaylock’s Testimony

July 08, 2004

Family Court Matter 2002-006149

Dr. Blaylock: A board certified neurosurgeon, practiced for twenty-six years, a clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery—school of medicine for fifteen years, clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery at University of Mississippi Medical Center for ten years, I’ve published three books, chapters in three medical text books on various medical subjects dealing with the nervous system, I’ve published 30 articles in peer-review journals, and I continue to publish and write on the subject of anything that effects the brain and my primary interest is the effect of over vaccination on brain function.

 Nichols:  Doctor is those writings been subject to peer-review?

 Blaylock:  Yes, all of them are in peer review journals

 Nichols:  And those journals are medical and scientific type journals, correct?         

The following hearings on real one player Dr. Blaylock's testimony July 15th (15 minutes) Dr. Al-bayati's testimony (30+ minutes) testimony of Steven Hutchinson, Eric Larson (Janet's brother) and Janet Burton

 Blaylock:  Correct

 Nichols:  Have you reviewed recommendations that have been authored by the Centers of Disease Control on these issues?

 Blaylock:  No

 Nichols:  In your years of practice could you give the court an approximation of the amount of patients that you’ve dealt with in these    types of areas?

 Blaylock: Well, generally what I would see was patients who had neurological injuries from vaccinations or diseases related to the vaccinations

Nichols:  I would tender the doctor as an expert

Mark:   We have no objections

Judge:   Ok, we’ll accept his testimony

Mark:   However, we object entirely to his testimony

Judge:   Objection noted, go ahead…state your objection

Mark: relevancy…we’ve heard this before

Judge:   Objection noted

Mark: Thank-you

Judge:   Go ahead

Nichols:  Have you, doctor been provided knowledge of six year old Hutchinson ’s health status in this matter?

Blaylock:  Briefly, yes

Nichols:  And that of five year old Greyson Hutchinson?

Blaylock:  To some degree, yes.

Nichols:  And you’ve reviewed the subjects children’s health information, is that correct?

Blaylock:  I have not reviewed their medical information through their medical chart

Nichols:  How have you reviewed it?

Blaylock:  Basically what the mother of the children provided me.

Nichols:  What did she provide you?

Blaylock:  She told me about the vaccinations, how they were done, what vaccines they received, the manufacturers of the particular vaccines and some of the health changes that have occurred in the children following the vaccinations

 Nichols:  Have you reviewed the existing medical scientific literature on the issue of giving multiple vaccinations?

 Blaylock:  Yes, I recently published three papers on this issue

 Nichols:  Have you reviewed existing medical scientific literature on the risks of certain diseases at these ages of five and six?

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols:  Have you reached an opinion of giving multiple vaccinations at one office visit to these type of children?

 Mark:  Excuse me….

 Dr. Blaylock, this is Mark Cord I represent the father in this case.  Before rendering your expert opinion in this case, I want to make it clear, did you ever physically examine Greyson or Gwyneth, the party’s two children?

 Blaylock: No

 Mark:  Did you eve talk to them?

 Blaylock:  No

 Mark:  So your opinions are based entirely on the reports of their mother Mrs. Janet Burton, is that correct?

 Blaylock:  Well, my expertise in the area of over vaccinations, multiple vaccinations

 Mark:  If relevant factors are omitted or misrepresented to you by Mrs. Burton then your conclusions can be flawed as well, is that true?

 Blaylock:  Only if she misrepresented the fact that they received at least eleven vaccinations at once or multiple vaccinations at one office visit. That’s the pertinent point.

 Mark:  Do you know  beyond a reasonable degree of medical probability in this case that an older sister as you described in your report had a seizure resulting from a similar vaccination?

 Blaylock:  I was told that by the mother as far as the history she gave me.

 Mark:  You don’t know if that’s true or not?

 Blaylock:  No more if she came to my office and told me that I would have to believe because that’s part of medical history

 Mark:  Did you examine any medical records to confirm that alleged fact of her sister’s seizure?

 Blaylock:  No

 Mark:  No further questions

 Nichols:  Doctor my last question with you was have you reviewed existing scientific medical literature on the risks of certain diseases at the ages of these children?

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols:  And have you reached an opinion regarding the issue of giving multiple vaccinations at one office visit for these children?

 Mark:  Your honor I must object…

 Judge:  Over ruled, go ahead doctor

 Blaylock:  Yes, I reviewed the literature

 Nichols:  And you’ve reached an opinion of giving multiple vaccinations at one office visit to these children?

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols:  And have you reached an opinion regarding the risks of the diseases vaccinated for at these ages?

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols:  And did you rely on your evaluation of the existing scientific body of knowledge in these areas in forming these opinions?

 Blaylock:  Yes, that and the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control  

 Nichols:  Okay, what is your opinion in these regards

 Blaylock:  Well, according to the literature of the Centers for Disease Control the HIB vaccination was not indicated, the Pneumococcal vaccine was not indicated

 Nichols:  Were those to your knowledge administered?

 Blaylock:  Did I know they were administered?

 Nichols:  To your knowledge is it reported to you that those vaccines were indeed administered to these children?

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols: And what is the impact in your opinion of undertaking that type of activity?

 Blaylock:  Well, it put them at all the risks associated with vaccinations, every vaccination is a risk, some of which are devastating.  Death is listed as a possible complication.  And there’s long-term neurological injury.  It’s listed as a complication for both of these vaccines.  The HIB vaccine is known to produce immune suppression and some literature indicates it may actually increase the risk of developing Haemophilus influenza meningitis.  So that would be another contraindication for giving it but there’s no indication from the medical literature or from the Centers for Disease Control for ever giving this vaccine after age five.

 Nichols:  Did you develop you opinion for the court in the area of the advisability of this type of multiple vaccinations being administered?

 Blaylock:  There’s no reason to give these vaccines together or at once except for the convenience of the physician, but there’s a lot of medical literature particularly in the area of brain injury for not doing it.   Recent evidence strongly suggests that giving that many vaccines at once can produce not only acute injury to the brain but chronic injury to the brain.  The adjuvants that are added, particularly aluminum, there’s a literature now coming out particularly out of France , Belgium and Germany they’ve described over two hundred cases of macrophalgicphalitis and an associated Demyelination of the nervous system occurring both in adults and in children.  Over sixty-six cases reported that has shown to be due to the aluminum in the vaccine.  Aluminum hydroxide at the injection site acts as a source of continued immune stimulation produces hyper stimulation and this results as a neurological damage and this can occur as long as eight years after the injection.

 Nichols:  In your report doctor you discuss the notion of excitotoxicty.  Could you explain that briefly to the court?

 Blaylock:  Excitotoxicity is basically the process where by brain cells become over excited.  It’s considered to be the central mechanism of all nerve degenerative diseases, stroke brain trauma, any sort of injury to the brain, infection, inflammation of the brain.  The destructive process is the excitotoxic process.  Basically, what this does, it can destroy the connections between the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Cause the process called dendrites to retract and if it’s intense enough it’ll destroy the brain cells themselves.  We know this is highly correlated with aluminum and that the aluminum from these vaccines accumulates in the brain in concentrations that can result in this.   This process is associated with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gerhig’s Disease.  Infact, ALS has been associated with a vaccine in a child.  Parkinson’s disease has been connected to vaccines in children.  And so we have good scientific evidence of this excitotoxic process occurring with the vaccination process.  In these three articles I review extensive neuroscience literature showing how the process works.  That when you give a lot of vaccines at once, particularly these power immune adjuvants added to each vaccine it over stimulates the body’s immunity and that in turn stimulates the brain’s immune cell call the microglia.  When this cell is over stimulated particularly for long periods of time it secretes two known excitotoxins: glutamate and  _____ acid and this has been shown to cause the destruction of these processes.  …The brain itself does not get infected with the HIB virus.   Only the microglia stimulated.  And that produces the destruction of the brain and this is what you’re doing to varying degrees in the vaccination process. If you over vaccinate you over stimulate this system in the brain you begin to destroy neurons.  And the effect depends on the intensity.  If it’s a very intense effect you can get diseases like sub acute sclerosis advanced encephalitis which occurs after the measles vaccine in which the child’s nervous system is demialiated and has 100% mortality.  On the other end of the spectrum you can have mild behavioral changes, you can have autism, ADD.  All of these things are associated with this process. 

 Nichols:  As you mentioned with ADD, would hyperactivity be an indication of adverse reaction.

 Blaylock:  Yes, infact, in the physician’s desk reference and in the CDC literature these are the reactions that are listed.  If you look at the MMR complications listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference put out by the company itself adverse reactions include numerous neurological things: encephalitis, encephalopathy, measles included by the encephalitis, Guillain-Barre, paralysis, febral convulsions, a-febral convulsions…all these things are listed complications of the MMR vaccine.   We have similar warnings against some of the other vaccines that unfortunately most parents are not properly informed of these complications.  They’re not informed about the adjuvants and the effects on the brain.  They’re not told that human albumin is used in these vaccines for some of them and fetal bovine serum.  And that there is a risk from developing Mad Cow Disease from these vaccines.  A recent study found that the bovine serum actually came, or significant lots of it came during the peak of the Mad Cow crisis in England and that THAT bovine serum was used to make vaccines for the United States .  And May still be used.

 Nichols:  Did you receive the list of vaccines that were administered to the subject children? 

 Blaylock:  Yes

 Nichols:  And did you notice any indications from that list of vaccines that were administered that would indicate that it was from bad lots?

 Blaylock:  You’d have to check with the company to look at the lots.  They have the lot numbers.   But the manufacturers themselves, according to their own vaccine contain these things.  For instance, GlaxoSmithKline DTaP contains aluminum hydroxide.  

 Nichols:  Was that administered to these children?

 Blaylock:  According to this list the mother provided me.  She told me she got this from the medical chart.  And according to the Physician’s Desk Reference it contains bovine extract.  They give a warning about the possibility of Mad Cow Disease being transmitted.  They do not give the warnings about aluminum hydroxide, but this is producing chronic diseases, as I said, in a large number of people in Europe .  They say it’s a growing epidemic.  So, this is a major problem.  Two children have been described with this aluminum induced syndrome, which has developed serious neurological problems.  One had developmental delay the other one had signs of neurological injury.  More children are being described in neurological literature from Denmark , Germany and France . 

 Nichols:  Would constricted throat be an indication of adverse reaction? 

 Blaylock:  Because of the immune reaction…. it could produce all sorts of problems.  Constricted throat could be an allergic reaction to some of the components in the vaccines.  It’s not just the viruses or the bacteria that’s there.  Like I said, it’s immune adjuvants.  These include oils, polysaccharides; they contain metals to stimulate the immune system.  Any of these could produce system of wide array.  Nausea and vomiting, is listed as one of the problems associated with MMR.  Pancreatitis, GI gastrointestinal symptoms have been listed as complications from this vaccine. 

 Nichols:  Dilated pupils?

 Blaylock:  In this report that came from the South Florida Hospital , which was reported in the Journal of Pediatric Development Pathology.  One of the children that was five years old was given the MMR vaccine and developed pupillary reflex abnormality and signs of diffused ___ and what that means is that the ___nervous system has been injured by the vaccine process and the aluminum…So …could produce dilated fixed pupils, hypersensitivity to light.  So that would certainly fit that syndrome. 

 Nichols:  Your opinion on the advisability on administering these types of vaccines to these particular children.

 Blaylock:  Based on my review.   Out of the vaccines.  The following four should never have been given:  The chickenpox, the HIB, the Hep B and the Pneumococcal vaccine.  There’s no indication for them.  The chickenpox vaccine, according to the CDC itself, the only reason to give it is for convenience of the mother so that she won’t miss work taking care of the child.  It’s not due to the epidemic complication problem.  It’s not due to high neurological or death rate in children.   Chickenpox is a relatively begnin disease in children.  So that can be eliminated.  The HIB, as I said, at age five there’s no risk of HIB infection whatsoever.  The Pneumococcal vaccine at age five, there’s no risk of Pneumococcal meningitis listed at all.   And for the Hepatitis B, according to CDC and all the literature, the only reason they give it to children is because it’s a captive audience.   Those with no risk are a child whose parents are not drug users or HIV infected.  So that vaccine is not indicated unless there’s a family history of drug use or of HIV infections.

 Nichols:  Advisability or necessity of going back and providing booster shots once the initial round has been given.

 Blaylock:  I would not do it.   I think it’s hazardous.  If we look at most of the really bad neurological reactions to vaccines most of them occurred on the second or third exposure.  So the second exposure is much more likely to produce adverse effects because you’re adding not only acute immune stimulation from the time of the vaccine but you’re adding more aluminum hydroxide…which is going to produce a larger burdens that will last for years producing chronic immune stimulation.  There is excellent evidence that THAT produces brain injury.   In the case of autism they have shown that the MMR vaccine possibly because of either the thimerosal or the aluminum adjuvant has been shown to produce immune reactions to the seritonin receptors in the brain.  So, that’s been proven beyond a doubt.  So, we know that there are cases in which autism and other developmental diseases of children can occur following vaccination.

 Nichols:  Doctor, given the hypothetical that these children might have a half sibling older half sibling that experienced grand mal seizures shortly after receiving vaccinations would that have any impact on the risk pool where these children would fall in terms of vaccination process?

 Blaylock:  Well it could.   It depends on the cause of the seizure in a child.  If they inherited a gene from the mother that put that child at risk to produce the seizure sensitivity it could very well also have been inherited by these two children.  And then have put them at risk as well. 

 Nichols:  If that occurs here and then the advisability in your opinion of proceeding with this vaccination process?

 Blaylock:  I think that’d be a highly hazardous thing to do if there’s a seizure risk.  And in every vaccine according to CDC and manufacturers that’s an absolute contraindication of giving the vaccines.  The other thing is really important consideration is that any child that has immune deficiency in any way is considered a contraindication to vaccination.  They are discovering now that more children have immune deficiencies that are unrecognized by the pediatrician.  And therefore they’re at risk.  So if you insist, and the court decide that way, these children should have immune testing to make sure their immunity is normal.  Because if we know that they already have a hyper immune response and you re-immunize them you’re almost certain to produce neurological damage.  And that’s the general in several studies.

 Nichols:  In terms of taking the children on extended cruise within forty-eight hours or seventy-two hours after the children have indicated some tendency towards adverse reaction.  What would be the advisability of that?

 Blaylock:  Well, if we go by the parent’s guide to childhood immunization, which is put out by the CDC national immunization program.  For instance, on the MMR vaccine it says (I’m reading directly from the report) febral seizures, seizures caused by fever in cases of children who’ve gotten MMR vaccines, these usually happens within one to two weeks after the shot…So, the warning by the CDC is that children may very well develop a seizure as long as two weeks after they’re vaccinated.   That’s with a single vaccine.  When you’re vaccinating with eleven vaccines that risk goes up many fold. 

 Nichols:  So, you’re answer to my question the advisability on vaccinating the children on May the 12^th and then taking them on a cruise to Alaska from Phoenix Arizona on the May the 15^th.

 Blaylock:  I think that would be hazardous particularly with eleven vaccines and the CDC recommending watching and waiting of a period of two weeks.  They should have a minimum of two-week observation before they leave their home base…being on a cruise ship where all you have is a cruise ship doctor.  How is he going to take care of a major neurological anaphylactoid reaction of a child or a grand mal seizure?

 Nichols:  Thank-you doctor, no further questions.

 Judge:  Cross counsel?

 Nichols:  I would move simply to the adminission of exhibit number fourteen.  That is the doctor’s report.

 Judge:  Did this doctor examine these children?

 Nichols:  This doctor made his opinions as recommendations based upon the information that was provided him. 

 Judge:  Your position?

 Mark:  Your honor, we move reserve our right to object to the doctor’s entire testimony…

 Judge:  I will address the admissibility of that later

 Mark:  Doctor what is the percentage risk of these children going on a cruise that they’re going to contract any seizure?

 Blaylock:  We don’t have a percentage because we don’t have a study of eleven vaccinations in one child.  No one’s done a study to see the risks of such vaccinations on a child.  To me eleven vaccines  at once is almost unprecedented.  So, we have an unusual case where these children have been over vaccinated.  Exposed to a very extreme risk of neurological damage.  And I would say that their risk is much higher than a child who had one or two vaccines.

 Mark:  But you can’t tell us to a reasonable degree of medical probability what that risk is, can you?

 Blaylock:  There is a reasonable risk.    There’s no studies available. But because these children have had eleven vaccines.  Eleven doses of very powerful immune adjuvants and the effect that we know it has on the brain the risk is much higher.

 Mark:  You cannot tell us what the degree of risk is though.

 Blaylock:  I can’t give you the exact percentage for the reasons I just told you. 

 Mark:  You can’t tell us if it’s a 90 to one, five million to one, or one in a hundred.

 Blaylock:  Well, we know it’s a lot higher than that.  Just from the reports that the company itself puts out. 

 Mark:  Let’s talk about the population that you talked about in the past that had lethal reactions to these immunization shots.  What percentage where people died?

 Blaylock:  Well, let’s take the hepatitis B vaccine for instance.  The study done by the National Vaccine Information Center of reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine.  They got 24,775 adverse reactions: 9,673 were serious, 439 deaths.  That was during an eight-year period between July 1990 through October 1998.   Now that’s six times higher than the national death rate from the disease itself.  200% increase death as compared to the natural disease. 

 Mark:  Doctor aren’t we missing one critical factor here?  That is, what was the population of these 439 people?  What was that?

 Blaylock:  This is the number of complications reported from the vaccine.

 Mark:  How many doses of the vaccine were administered?

 Blaylock:  What difference does that make to the 439 people that died?  Each one of those is an individual.  Each one died.  Does it matter to them that you gave this vaccine to two million, twenty million, thirty million people? Those 439 people are dead.

 Mark:  I think it does and I think we have a recent example of that it’s called the polio vaccine.  How many people were immunized for polio?  And how many people died from them?  Do you know those statistics?

 Blaylock:  What we found with the polio (and this occurred in the United States and Great Britain ) the death rate from polio was beginning to fall dramatically before the population was ever vaccinated.   What the vaccine people knew they took credit for.  They’ve never explained why it had fallen except for the fact that of improved sanitation, better diet, better nutrition.  What happened to the vaccine was that after the vaccine was introduced all the cases of polio were caused from the vaccine itself.  Right now in Nigeria , the Nigerian people refusing to take the vaccine from the World Health Organization because all the cases of polio in Nigeria are caused by the vaccine itself.  This is why the vaccine was suddenly transferred from a live vaccine to a killed vaccine.  That’s because they knew that over the thirty year period every case of polio in this country was from the vaccine itself.  Now children were forced to get this vaccine.  They’re paralyzed.  Their lives are ruined and no one took any action for almost forty years.  We also know that 98 million people in this country were infected with the SV40 virus from contaminated polio vaccines and it is responsible for numerous brain tumors in children as well as mesothelioma.   Now, it took forty years for the opposition to have so much evidence thrown at them that they finally admitted that this was a carcinogenic virus, that they knew from the beginning that this vaccine was contaminated yet they went ahead and gave 98 million children a virus that causes cancer.

 Mark:  So, Doctor…I forget my question.  Salk is a charlotten and polio vaccination is a hoax, is that what you’re telling us? 

 Blaylock:  Well, all you have to do is look at the records.  It’s not denied.  No one is denying this information.  It’s all a matter of record.

Summary

Greyson and Gwyneth Hutchinson were perfectly healthy children prior to May 12, 2004 when each of them received eleven vaccines in one single visit to a health care provider. Greyson is a five year and two month old white male and his sister; Gwyneth is a six year and 10 month old female. They developed significant health problems after receiving the vaccines listed in Table 1.

Their mother, Janet Burton has consulted with me as a toxicologist and a pathologist with expertise in the area of adverse reactions to vaccines to evaluate the following.

1) Her children’s vaccination records and their adverse reactions to vaccines.

2) The validity of the vaccination procedure and the compatibility of these vaccines with the ages of her children.

3) The synergistic actions among vaccines given to her children in causing adverse reactions.

4) The health problems that can be caused by vaccinating Greyson and Gwyneth a second time on June 12, 2004.

5) The predisposing factors that might increase her children’s risk to be injured by vaccines.

Furthermore, Janet requested that I provide recommendations for clinical tests that monitor her children’s adverse reactions to vaccines and my opinions on the risk versus benefit from vaccinating her children in the future. I described the children’s vaccination history and their symptoms induced by the vaccines given in Section I. A list of some of the adverse reactions described in the medical literature of vaccines given to Janet’s children is presented in Section II.  Section III contains a list of problems with the protocol used by the health care provider who vaccinated Greyson and Gwyneth on May 12, 2004. My conclusions and recommendations are outlined in Section IV.

The following are my specific recommendations dealing with the issues of giving Greyson and Gwyneth vaccines in the future and monitoring the damages caused by the vaccines given on May 12, 2004.

1) These children should not be given PCV and Hib vaccines again because these vaccines are approved and recommended for children at the ages of 2-15 months.

2) These children should not be vaccinated on June 12, 2004 as planned by their health care provider or in the near future without assessing the damage caused by the vaccines given on May 12, 2004.

3) The medical records of their older sister who developed seizures after receiving the second dose of MMR at the age of 6 years should be evaluated prior to vaccinating these children. The sister’s medical records should be evaluated by an expert in the area of adverse reactions to vaccines to assess the risk of these children developing serious neurological problems following vaccination.

4) The parents of these children and other caretakers should be consulted prior to giving these children vaccines and they should be given instructions to report adverse reactions to vaccines to the treating physicians.

5) The levels of aluminum and mercury should be determined in the urine and blood of Greyson and Gwyneth to get an idea about their exposure to these elements present in vaccines.

6) Greyson and Gwyneth should be evaluated by an allergist to determine their levels of sensitization to egg albumin and other components present in vaccines such as antibiotics, proteins, preservatives, and metals (Table 2).

7) Greyson and Gwyneth’s physician should be consulted to order blood analyses that include complete blood cells count (RBC, white blood count and differential cell counts, platelet count); liver and kidney functions panels; clotting factors; electrolyte levels; and glucose levels. These children suffered from dehydration and vaccines are known to cause thrombocytopenia, liver and kidney damage, and diabetes.

8) Greyson and Gwyneth should be evaluated by a neurologist and a hearing specialist to assess any neurological and hearing problem that may be caused by vaccines.

Vaccines, like other medicines, are capable of causing serious health problems in children and adults as described in this report.  Giving two healthy children eleven vaccines on a single visit without doing risk/benefit analysis or reviewing the family history for health problems caused by vaccines is not medically justified. In addition, giving these two children who are older than five years of age PCV and Hib vaccines that are recommended for children ages of 2-15 months indicates serous problems with the practices of the health care provider who administered these vaccines. I believe that the practices and the knowledge of this health care provider in the areas of vaccines and treatment of children should be evaluated by a medical board to avoid the occurrence of similar problems in the future.  

Section I. Greyson and Gwyneth Hutchinson’s Vaccination History and Descriptions of

Adverse Reactions To Vaccines:

Greyson Hutchinson is a five year and two month old white male (DOB: March 14, 1999). His weight and height are 42 lb and 44 inches, respectively. Gwyneth Hutchinson is a six year and 10 month old white female (DOB: July 3, 1997). Her weight and height are 58 lb and 48 inches, respectively. They live with their parents in Arizona and both were perfectly healthy prior to their vaccination with eleven vaccines on May 12, 2004 [1] .

They were never vaccinated prior to May 12, 2004 based on Janet Burton, their mother, who had a very bad experience with the vaccines when she vaccinated her daughter, Rebekah (Greyson and Gwyneth’s older half-sister) with MMR at the age of 6 years. Their sister developed seizures at nine months after her second dose of MMR. She had grand mal seizures - severe enough to warrant hospitalization twice - for a few years following that event.  She was treated with Tegretol and she suffered from adverse reactions to this medication. Rebekah received her first MMR vaccine when she was a toddler.  Furthermore, Janet has believed that her children are in perfect health and they have no risk of acquiring health problems from an infectious agent. In this case the risk of her children becoming ill from vaccines will outweigh the benefit of the vaccines.

On May 12, 2004 Greyson and Gwyneth were taken by their father without consulting with their mother to a health care provider, who vaccinated each of them with the eleven vaccines listed in Table 1. These vaccines were administered intramuscularly in the arms and the legs. The general compositions of these vaccines are listed in Table 2. These vaccines include four live virus vaccines (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) and Varicella).

The children were returned to their mother two days after vaccination and she observed the following symptoms resulting from their treatment with the vaccines. Both children showed signs of dehydration and had pain at the vaccine injection sites, which lasted for several days. Greyson displayed behaviors showing signs of hyperactivity for the first time in his life along with unstable body temperatures that made him hot one minute and cold the next. He also had dark circles around his eyes and his pupils were dilated. His appetite was reduced and he felt tired. He slept about two hours in the middle of the day, which is unusual for him. In addition, he had a sore throat, headache and complained of his eyes burning. He seemed forgetful and mentally unclear.

Furthermore, Greyson developed a new rash on both legs, especially his right thigh at six to eight days post vaccination. His mother also noticed two small patches approximately an inch in diameter on the right of his abdomen where the texture of his skin is rough and scaly in appearance. Three weeks later to present time, Greyson became hyperactive. He had spurts of energy that made him uncontrollable or containable and he has compulsive-type behavior.

Gwyneth felt unusually thirsty all afternoon and evening. She felt tired and slept 2 hours in the middle of the afternoon, which was unusual for her. At four to eight days following vaccination, she developed a sore throat and dry hives. Her appetite was reduced and she felt like vomiting after eating a small amount of food. She woke up during the night hysterical with pain in her throat. She was feeling tired and she could hardly dance at her dance class.

Janet Burton, has recently received the records of her children’s vaccination from the health care provider who administered the vaccines to her children. She discovered from reading the records that Greyson and Gwyneth were scheduled to receive additional vaccines on or about June 12, 2004. She was also not consulted on this issue.

Janet has consulted with me as a toxicologist and a pathologist with expertise in the area of adverse reactions to vaccines to evaluate the following:

1) Her children’s vaccination records and their adverse reactions to vaccines.

2) The validity of the vaccination procedure and the compatibility of these vaccines with the ages of her children.

3) The synergistic actions among vaccines given to her children in causing adverse reactions.

4) The health problems that can be caused by vaccinating Greyson and Gwyneth a second time on June 12, 2004.

5) The predisposing factors that might increase her children’s risk to be injured by vaccines.  

Furthermore, Janet requested that I provide recommendations for clinical tests that monitor her children’s adverse reactions to vaccines and my opinions on the risk versus benefit from vaccinating her children in future.

I evaluated the medical evidence concerning the vaccination of Greyson and Gwyneth with eleven vaccines on May 12, 2004.

Below are the descriptions of adverse reactions of vaccines given to these children with my opinions and recommendations.

Varicella virus vaccine: Each 0.5 mL dose containing a minimum of 1350 PFU (plaque forming unit) of Oka/Merck varicella virus and additives.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Section II. Adverse reactions to vaccines.

Greyson and Gwyneth were administered eleven vaccines in a single visit on May 12, 2004 (Table 1) even though they were in a perfect health and had minimal or no risk of developing illness from an infectious agent in the near future. In this case the risk of developing serious health problems from these vaccines outweighs the benefit.

Furthermore, two of the vaccines given [pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib)] have been approved and recommended only for children between 2 and 15 months of age. Greyson and Gwyneth are healthy and older than five years of age and giving them PCV and Hib has no scientific justification and it does not follow the recommendations presented in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) and provided by the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [3-6].

The vaccines given to Greyson and Gwyneth have been known to cause serious adverse reactions in some children. These include: serous allergic reactions, upper and lower respiratory tracts infections, ear infections, fever, encephalitis, neurological problem, deafness, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, poor appetite, loss of weight, thrombocytopenia, and even death. The followings are the specific reactions that have been reported following receiving individual vaccine or groups of vaccines.


II-A. Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)Vaccines

Serious systemic adverse reactions have been reported in children who received the MMR vaccines. These include malaise, sore throat, cough, rhinitis, headache, dizziness, fever (101-102.9 oF), rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, regional lymphadenopathy, parotitis, orchitis, nerve deafness, vasculitis, otitis media, hearing loss, conjunctivitis, aseptic meningitis, measles, thrombocytopenia, and anaphylaxis  [2, page 1820, 7-12].

Koga et al. described a case of a child who developed bilateral acute profound deafness and aseptic meningitis within 14 days after receiving MMR vaccines. The cause of this deafness was presumed to be the mumps vaccination. The basis of the presumption was as follows: The meningitis after MMR vaccination was elicited by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method to be caused by the mumps vaccine. The complication of the central nervous system (CNS) after measles vaccination occurs within 14 days after injection and the onset of vomiting and gait disturbance of the case occurred at 24 days after vaccination [7].

Furthermore, a 7-year old girl developed unilateral total loss of hearing at 13 days following MMR vaccination and the live, attenuated mumps-virus vaccine was suspected to be the cause of the injury [8]. Stewart and Prabhum also reported six individuals, who developed hearing loss after the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunization and MMR remained a possible etiology. They stated that any risk associated with attenuated viruses must be weighed against the risks of the natural diseases [9].

Cases of aseptic meningitis associated with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines were sought in thirteen UK health districts following a reported cluster in Nottingham , which suggested a risk of 1 in 4,000 doses. Cases were ascertained by obtaining vaccination records of children with aseptic meningitis diagnosed from cerebrospinal fluid samples submitted to Public Health Laboratories or discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of viral meningitis. Both methods identified vaccination 15-35 days before onset as a significant risk factor and therefore indicative of a causal association. With both, half the aseptic meningitis cases identified in children aged 12-24 months were vaccine-associated with onset 15-35 days after vaccine. This study confirmed that the true risk was substantially higher than suggested by case reports from pediatricians, probably about 1 in 11,000 doses [10].

Furthermore, in Japan, at least 311 meningitis cases suspected to be vaccine-related were identified among 630,157 recipients of the measles-mumps-rubella trivalent (MMR) vaccine. These cases were identified based on the notification of cases and the testing of mumps viruses isolated from cerebrospinal fluid for their relatedness to the vaccine by nucleotide sequence analysis [11].

Also, the Institute of Medicine of the United States of America examined putative serious adverse consequences associated with administration of: diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, measles, mumps, and measles-mumps-rubella vaccines, oral polio vaccine and inactivated polio vaccine, hepatitis B vaccines, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccines. The committee spent 18 months reviewing all available scientific and medical data from individual case reports (published and unpublished) to controlled clinical trials.

The committee found that the evidence favored acceptance of a causal relationship between diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and Guillain-Barre syndrome and brachial neuritis; between measles vaccine and anaphylaxis; between oral polio vaccine and Guillain-Barre syndrome; and between unconjugated Hib vaccine and susceptibility to Hib disease. The committee also found that the evidence established causality between diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and anaphylaxis; between the measles vaccine and death from measles vaccine-strain viral infection; between measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and thrombocytopenia and anaphylaxis; between the oral polio vaccine and poliomyelitis and death from polio vaccine-strain viral infection; and between the hepatitis B vaccine and anaphylaxis [12].

 
II-B. Varicella virus vaccine

In addition to the MMR vaccine, Greyson and Gwyneth received the varicella vaccine.  The following is a list of the most frequently reported adverse reactions in children ages 1-12 years, who received the varicella vaccine. These illnesses include: upper respiratory illness, cough, irritability, nervousness, fatigue, diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting, otitis media, diaper rash/contact rash, headache, teething, malaise, abdominal pain, skin rash, nausea, eye complaints, chills, lymphadenopathy, malagia, lower respiratory illness, allergic reactions (including allergic rash and hives), stiff neck, heat rash, arthralgia, eczema/dry skin/dermatitis, constipation, and itching. Furthermore, in a study consisting of 8,827 children who received the varicella vaccine, fever (102 oF) developed in 14.7% between 0-42 days [2, page 1910].

 
II-C. Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib)] has been approved and recommended only for  children between 2 and 15 months of age. Greyson and Gwyneth are healthy and older than five years of age and giving them PCV and Hib has no scientific justification and it does not follow the recommendations presented in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) and provided by the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [3, 6].

Three hundred sixty-five infants were inoculated with Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), and some of them developed systemic adverse reactions [2, 3]. In addition, Classen and Classen analyzed data from a Hib vaccine trial and identified clusters of extra cases of insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) caused by the vaccine that occurred between 36 and 48 months post-immunization [13].

Furthermore, approximately 116,000 children in Finland were randomized to receive 4 doses of the Hib vaccine beginning at 3 months of age or one dose starting after 24 months of age. A control-cohort included all 128,500 children born in Finland in the 24 months prior to the Hib vaccine study. The difference in cumulative incidence between those receiving 4 doses and those receiving 0 doses is 54 cases of IDDM/100,000 (P = 0.026) at 7- year (relative risk = 1.26).

Most of the extra cases of IDDM appeared in statistically significant clusters that occurred in periods starting, at approximately 38 months after immunization and lasting approximately 6-8 months [20]. In a second study, distinct rises in the incidence of IDDM in children occurred 2-4 years following the introduction of the MMR and pertussis vaccines [14].

 
II-D. Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and a cellular Pertussis (DTaP)

In the USA, reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), concerning infant immunization against pertussis between January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1998 were analyzed. During the study period, there were 285 reports involving death, 971 non-fatal serious reports (defined as events involving initial hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, life-threatening illness, or permanent disability), and 4,514 less serious reports after immunization with any pertussis-containing vaccine [15].

The whole-cell DTP vaccine has also been associated with acute encephalopathy [2]. A large case-control study that included children 2 to 35 months of age who received DTP was conducted in England to study the incidence of vaccine related neurological problems. Acute neurological disorders, such as encephalopathy or complicated convulsion(s) occurred in children who were more likely to have received the DTP vaccine 7 days preceding the onset than their age-matched controls. Among children presumed to be neurologically normal before entering the study, the relative risk (estimated by odds ratio) of a neurological illness occurring within 7-day period following receipt of DTP dose, compared to children not receiving DTP vaccine in the 7-day period before onset of their illness, was 3.3 (p< 0.001).


II-E. Hepatitis B vaccine

The database from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) in the USA that included 6,515 children less than six years of age who received the hepatitis B vaccine were analyzed to evaluate the vaccine related adverse reactions. Hepatitis B vaccine was found to be associated with prevalent arthritis, incident of acute ear infections, and incident of pharyngitis/nasopharangitis [16].

The above selected studies clearly show that the vaccines given to Greyson and Gwyneth cause serious health problems, even death in healthy children. These children were in perfect health and with no known risk of getting infections. However, they have risk of developing neurological damage from vaccines as it happened in their sister case.

 
Section III. Problems with the methods used by the health care provider who vaccinated Greyson and Gwyneth on May 12, 2004

Vaccines like other medicines, which are capable of causing serious health problems in children and adults as described above. The health care providers who are licensed to administer vaccines to children must have some knowledge in the area of adverse reactions to vaccines and the recommendations presented in the PDR and provided by the US CDC dealing with the administrations of these vaccines to children and adults.

My review of the evidence presented in this case has revealed the following serious problems dealing with a) the types and numbers of vaccines administered to Greyson and Gwyneth; b) the knowledge of the health care provider who administered vaccines to these children in the areas of adverse reactions to vaccines and the recommendations provided dealing with the use of these vaccines. Below is a list of the specific problems.

1) The health care provider administered eleven vaccines to each of these perfectly healthy children in one visit without doing analysis of risk and benefit or considering the synergistic actions among the components of these vaccines listed in Table 2 in causing health problems. These vaccines contain live viruses, various antigens, heavy metals, antibiotics, and preservatives. Additive and synergistic actions among these components in causing serious health problems can occur. I have evaluated four cases of children who died as a result of adverse reactions to vaccines [17, 18, 19]. I have also evaluated a case of a healthy adult who developed serous health from vaccines [20, 21]. 

2) The health care provider administered [Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib)] and Pneumococcal Conjugate vaccine (PCV) to Greyson and Gwyneth without any medical justifications. These vaccines have been approved and recommended only for children between 2 and 15 months of age. Greyson and Gwyneth are healthy and older than five years of age and giving them PCV and Hib does not follow the recommendations presented in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) and provided by the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [3-6].

3) The health care provider did not evaluate the family case history prior to giving the children vaccines that may cause neurological damage such as DTaP and MMR to find out if they are at high risk of developing neurological problems. The children’s half-sister developed seizures and suffered from epilepsy after receiving her second MMR vaccine at the age of six years as described in this report. The CDC reported moderate and severe health problems in children after DTaP vaccine. These include seizure, high fever, serious allergic reactions, long-term seizures, comma, and permanent brain damage [22].  Furthermore, the following moderate and severe neurological and other health problems have been reported by the CDC in some children after MMR vaccines. These include seizure, joint pain, thrombocytopenia, serious allergic reactions, long-term seizures, deafness, coma, and permanent brain damage, deafness [23].

4) The health care provider did not consult with the mother of the children concerning vaccinating her children on May 12, 2004 and making the second appointment to vaccinate the children again a month later on June 12, 2004.

5) The health care provider did not consider the adverse reactions caused by the vaccines given when he made the decision to vaccinate the children again on June 12, 2004. Both Greyson and Gwyneth developed significant health problems and contact dermatitis after receiving the vaccines on May 12, 2004 as I described in Section I of this report. These symptoms should be taking in consideration when considering vaccinating these children again. Developing symptoms following the first exposure of individuals to antigens and chemicals present in vaccines indicate that these individuals are becoming sensitized to these agents. Exposure of these individuals again to these agents especially if it occurs within days or weeks may cause more serious illnesses than were induced by the previous exposure to these agents. Greyson and Gwyneth’s sister developed seizures following her second vaccination with MMR at six years of age. She was vaccinated with MMR as a toddler.  

 
Section IV. Conclusions and Recommendation

Giving two healthy children eleven vaccines on a single visit without doing risk/benefit analysis or reviewing the family history for health problems caused by vaccines is not medically justified. In addition, giving these two children who are older than five years of age PCV and Hib vaccines that are recommended for children ages of 2-15 months indicates serous problems with the practices of the health care provider who administered these vaccines. I believe that the practices and the knowledge of this health care provider in the areas of vaccines and treatment of children should be evaluated by a medical board to avoid the occurrence of similar problems in the future. 

Furthermore, below are my specific recommendations dealing with the issues of giving Greyson and Gwyneth vaccines in future and monitoring the damages caused by the vaccines given on May 12, 2004.

1) These children should not be given PCV and Hib vaccines again because these vaccines are approved and recommended for children at the ages of 2-15 months.

2) These children should not be vaccinated on June 12, 2004 or in the near future without assessing the damage caused by the vaccines given on May 12, 2004.

3) The medical records of their older sister who developed seizures after receiving the second dose of MMR at the age of 6 years should be evaluated prior to vaccinating these children. The sister’s medical records should be evaluated by an expert in the area of adverse reactions to vaccines to assess the risk of these children of developing serious neurological problems following vaccination.

4) The parents of these children and other caretakers should be consulted prior to giving these children vaccines and they should be given instructions to report adverse reactions to vaccines to the treating physicians.

5) The levels of aluminum and mercury should be determined in the urine and blood of Greyson and Gwyneth to get an idea about their exposure to these elements present in vaccines.

6) Greyson and Gwyneth should be evaluated by an allergist to determine their levels of sensitization to egg albumin and other components present in vaccines such as antibiotics, proteins, preservatives, and metals (Table 2).

7) Greyson and Gwyneth’s physician should be consulted to order blood analyses that include complete blood cells count (RBC, white blood count and differential cell counts, platelet count); liver and kidney functions panels; clotting factors; electrolyte levels; and glucose levels. These children suffered from dehydration and vaccines are known to cause thrombocytopenia, liver and kidney damage, and diabetes.

8) Greyson and Gwyneth should be evaluated by a neurologist and a hearing specialist to assess any neurological and hearing problem that may be caused by vaccines.
