“Breakthrough Death”: Newest Medical Innovations Can Be Way Too New

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

National Solutions Foundation and www.HealthFreedomUSA.org always bring you urgent information about your health freedom and practical steps you can take to make a difference.

“Breakthrough casualty” (aka “collateral damage”) is what happens when a poorly tested, new drug or device (or novel GMO product) is publicized in the mass commercial media in ways that are not truthful and are misleading. Here are Action Steps To Help Prevent Yourself and Your Loved Ones From Becoming A “Breakthrough Casualty”

Today, the biggest causes of “breakthrough casualties” are the very issues that Natural Solutions Foundation has championed: GMOs, degraded organic standards, forced vaccinations and drugging, toxins (like pesticide residua, irradiation free-radicals, and the like) in the food chain, regulatory failures…

Breakthrough Casualties…

You’ve heard of “Breakthrough Bleeding,” right? That’s when someone starts to bleed in spite of the fact that the body, or a drug, should be keeping them from doing that. Well, there’s another “Breakthrough” problem, and we are all vulnerable to it: “Breakthrough Death” which occurs when the latest medical “breakthrough” is so dangerous, so poorly tested, so poorly understood and so rapidly embraced by the ever-compliant media (“Ask your doctor is it’s right for YOU”) along with the ever time-pressured and sheepish medical practitioner that you, or someone you love, winds up dead or damaged because of a poorly understood, but hastily taken-up “Medical Breakthrough”.

The article posted below questions the wisdom of new medical “wisdom”. Indeed, the bone-fields of Medicine are littered with discarded ” breakthroughs”, too hastily approved, too gleefully adopted, too poorly tested. Of course, the graveyards of medicine are littered with the patients who blindly rushed to line up for the newest alleged “advances” and trusted the “wisdom” of the usually-well-meaning, carefully preselected and obedient sheep in MD’s clothing who blithely make their livings by being there with the new whatever-it-is-this-time. For example, in my educated opinion, the new chemotherapy which turns out to damage your heart and not work any better than any of the other ineffective conventional cancer approaches and, like every form of conventional chemotherapy, is a leading cause of NEW cancer in long term survivors; or the new antibiotic that turns out to cause your body to stop making any blood cells, red or white, or causes you to go deaf, or damages the dental integrity of your unborn child; or the new vaccine that turns out to cause healthy young girls and women to die or develop life threatening conditions; or the vaccine overload that turns so many happy young families into tragic families coping with the vaccine injury called autism, asthma, ADD/ADHD and a host of other names.

You get the idea.

What you may not know yet is that “fast track” approval for drugs and especially vaccines means that even the woefully inadequate safety assurances used by the FDA are shunted aside. And whether a drug, device or vaccine has been fast-tracked or not, that FDA approved-whatever is not deemed safe until after Phase IV Clinical Trials are completed and evaluated. And you may also not know that the FDA review committees and advisory committees, panels and boards are filled with people who have stocks, bonds, shares, patents and other direct financial conflicts of interest in the very products they are regulating, or seeking to evaluate and forbid if dangerous. Good system? For them, maybe. Just look at the state of American health and the trillions of dollars made by the illness care industry using things that make you sick and kill you although they have been through Phase I, II and II Clinical Trials. And although these devices, drugs and vaccines are now in their much-vaunted “Phase IV Clinical Trials”

What is a Phase IV Clinical Trial? It is the voluntary reporting, over time, of adverse reactions in the public. In other words, when doctors notice that patients are dying, or having strokes or heart attacks, or getting rather more cancer than “normal” or having more life-threatening asthma attacks or other reactions and the doctors involved bother to report (and often incriminate themselves if they were the ones who gave the drug or used the device in the first place), and these results pile up and the scientists reviewing these data do not have too many conflicts of interest, and their superiors in the system do not have too many conflicts of interest (which are now officially permitted by the agencies of the US Government charged with protecting our safety), then perhaps something will happen to remove this item from sale. But usually not. I need only say the word “Vioxx” and you get the idea. Or “Gardasil” or “Avienda”.

Or core systemic corruption and inability to protect the public… you get the idea. *

We like to think that clinical trials and other strategies protective of the public when using drugs, pesticides, vaccines and other toxins are iron clad and powerful. Nothing could be further from the truth. The FDA, EPA and USDA, the principle “guardians” of public health, do not allocate their funding efficiently to do their jobs. Congressional report after Congressional report, investigative piece after investigative piece makes that very clear. But the structure of these agencies themselves makes it even more clear.

For the FDA, a large proportion of whose operating budget comes from “user fees” which Pharmaceutical companies pay to have their products approved. Those user fees mean that the FDA is the client, not the regulator, of the drug industry.

Now it looks like the food industry will be asked to pay the same sort of user fees so the food side of the house will also become a client of the industry it allegedly regulates. Wonder what will happen to small local, organic producers in that regulatory world, where only the big and powerful are “too big to fail…”

Between the revolving door policy of the FDA, USDA, EPA and other federal agencies (through which high level employees are recruited from, revolve into, and continue to move back and forth between government, academia and industry as their careers develop) and the lack of oversight allowed or engaged in by these agencies, allowing “new breakthroughs” to create “new wealth” and “new disasters”.

Read the article below by a concerned and thoughtful Mom and take the Action Steps at the head of this article to make sure your State and National Legislators know that you do not want to be exposed to compulsory vaccination, a form of compulsory drugging.

Thanks.

Sometimes ‘new breakthroughs’ in medicine are too new

October 12, 2008
By Kimberly A. Brehm

Every time the medical community changes its mind and announces yet another way to care for your child, I’m amazed that my children made it out of their early years unscathed.

When my babies were young, they slept on their tummies, until the American Medical Association said the position could lead to sudden infant death syndrome. I bathed them in cool water when their fevers ran high, until I heard the tried-and-true practice could cause a seizure. And I gave them over-the-counter cold medicine when they had persistent, hacking coughs and sore throats.

Turns out that wasn’t a good idea, either.

On Tuesday, in response to concerns from medical experts that questioned whether cold and cough remedies do more harm than good to children, drug companies agreed to no longer make such medications for kids younger than 4.

Leading brands like Pediacare, Dimetapp, Robitussin, Triaminic and Little Colds no longer will continue to include dosage information for anyone younger than 4, and some pediatricians are asking the government to go further and ban such medicines for children younger than 6.

Each year, more than 7,000 children – mostly 2- and 3-year-olds – make a trip to the emergency room because of problems with over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. They usually have symptoms such as hives, drowsiness and unsteady walking. The Federal Drug Administration in 2007 pulled over-the-counter cough and cold medications for children younger than 6 to weigh their risks and effectiveness, but it could take another year or more before a final decision is reached.

Since it seems like every decade or so the medical community reverses previous decisions on particular medicines and medical treatments, it’s made me wonder when I can trust “new breakthroughs” and “innovative advances.”

A reversal about something like a cough suppressant – once seen as a benign drug – is the exact reason I have not yet allowed my teen daughters to be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. It’s too new and hasn’t been researched enough for me to give my approval and feel comfortable.

In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration OK’d Gardasil as a vaccine against four strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervical cancer. Since then, more than 8 million girls ages 11 to 14 have been given the vaccine, and some states are considering making the shot mandatory for school enrollment, similar to other immunizations.

When Gardasil was approved a few years ago, my oldest daughter was 11, the ideal age to begin the shots. But I hesitated, thinking about other “new and improved” medicines that later proved to cause harm.

Remember when pregnant women were prescribed Thalidomide for nausea, then it was discovered to cause miscarriages and birth defects? Or when vaccines routinely included mercury, until that too proved to be dangerous? Or how about Fen-phen and Ephedra, which were supposed to be safe weight-loss drugs, and women began dying? In the 1990s, infants were given the rotavirus vaccine, until too many babies died after receiving it, and it was pulled from the market. I could go on and on listing dozens of examples like this, including strong, antidotal evidence of a link between immunizations and autism.

Thousands of parents of autistic children, including my brother and his wife, are firmly convinced their child’s autism was caused by vaccines and no amount of denial from drug companies would convince them otherwise.

And now, three years after young girls starting getting the Gardasil vaccine, it’s being investigated. There have been more than 9,000 complaints of serious ill effects filed with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including blood clots, genital warts, paralysis and death.

The CDC said the deaths are not linked to Gardasil, but who knows what they’ll discover after further investigation? I personally am not willing to let my daughters be guinea pigs for the fairly new vaccine when even the CDC agrees the vaccine responds differently to each individual’s immune system and should not be mandatory for school participation.

“The overall effect of the vaccines on cervical cancer remains unknown. The real impact of HPV vaccination on cervical cancer will not be observed for decades,” the New England Journal reported in August. “With so many essential questions still unanswered, there is good reason to be cautious.”

When the wrong decision could cause your child harm – or maybe even result in death – it would be negligent not to be cautious. And when the medical experts change their minds every few years on what’s good and what’s harmful, it’s hard to make the right decision.

Mandatory Vaccination in Schools – How Did We Get There?

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Stop Mandatory Vaccination. Take all of the following Action Steps:

The Natural Solutions Foundation has been fighting mandatory vaccination, vaccination disinformation (e.g., vaccines are safe and effective) and all other compulsory health intrusions, like restrictions on free speech, unlabeled GMO Franken Foods, since its inception.
Here’s what we are doing about it:

1. We’ve created reliable information sources you can access and you can trust:

* Our highly informative Vaccination Exemption eBook (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=699) gives you information you simply will not find anywhere else
* The vigorous Yahoo! No-Forced-Vaccination Forum, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/join, now just under a thousand advocates strong
* We publish numerous articles and updates on vaccine-related topics in our free Health Freedom eAlerts (to which people can subscribe on our site) where we continually update information on legal and legislative actions designed to remove your health freedom options. Join now: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187
* We serve as a clearinghouse for actions and rallys you can take part in like the October 16 No Forced Vaccination Rally in Trenton, NJ (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=1166) against the invasive and probably unconstitutional proposed legislation to force home schooled children to comply with the Superintendent of School’s chosen vaccine schedule or be forced back into public schools.
* We support health freedom options for parents and others concerning what goes into their bodies and what happens to them

2. We create and follow through on strong, effective grass roots/net roots and legal actions

* Join the Natural Solutions Foundation’s ground-breaking FTC Citizen’s Petition which you can join here (RALPH, WE NEED AN ACTION ITEM ON THIS- RIMA), a legal action against the Federal Trade Commission AND US Government to compel the FTC to
o prohibit false and misleading advertising or statements that vaccines are safe and effective
o Hold hearings on whether vaccines are, in fact, either safe, or effective, or both
o Force vaccine manufactures, government agencies, doctors, school personnel and others to cease and desist conveying information across state lines which states or implies that vaccines are safe and effective until they are proven to be so
* Urge your legislator to become a co-sponsor of Denis Kucinich’s 3 bill suite to demand safety evaluation and labeling of all GMO foods, including the newly approved “Franken Meats”.
o Click here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25920
* Sign the Tiburon Declaration to let the entire nation know that you are in the majority opposing forced drugging or vaccination. Click here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=460
* Keep Codex tyranny over truthful speech about the relationship about the relationship between food and health out of the US.

Mandatory Vaccination has a long history which is not generally known, but deserves to be understood.
Crunchy Mama wrote the following excellent article posted on Exploring Vaccines. It provides a good overview of the process by which States have come to the point where they are now requiring as many as 78 vaccines by the time a child reaches 15 years of age, starting at birth. The same Hepatitis B vaccine, by the way, that infants are given within 12 hours of birth is literally under indictment in France where the manufacturer has been charged with homicide because of the number of infants who have died following this injection. No such reservations seem to deter the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) from advising this same, and other highly questionable vaccinations.
Once the ACIP makes its recommendations, States frequently adopt these recommendation and make the requirements mandatory for school entry.
In New Jersey, the issue has been pressed further with a new law now making its way through the legislature which would require home schooled children to meet the same mandatory vaccination schedule approved by the superintendent of schools, not the child’s parents or physician in order to be permitted to continue as a home schooled child.
This unconstitutional and irrational move, from a State with a significant number of vaccine manufacturer headquarters is, we believe, a portent of things to come unless the people of the US make a concerted outcry against this imposition of pharmaceutical profits on personal and religious rights.
The religious exemption is being made more difficult to attain

It is important to note that currently the trend to accept ALL recommendations made by the ACIP is gaining momentum and only vigorous activity by each of us can stop this trend which is damaging our health AND our freedom.
Did you know, by the way, that children are not immunized until they reach the age of 2 years in the UK? Or that vaccinations are widely spaced in Japan? In neither country are children dying of the diseases that supposedly are prevented by vaccination? Perhaps that should suggest that it is hygeine, not vaccination, which prevents these diseases. Perhaps it should also suggest that the Pharmaceutical Industry has a (literally speaking) death grip on US society. Properly used drugs are the leading cause of death in the US, according to the esteemed Journal of the American Medical Association and other journals of equal statue. But we continue to allow, encourage and often require their use. Vaccines, of course, are a particularly contentious and, to my mind, dangerous class of drugs sold into the market place not only through propaganda, but through legislative compulsion.
It is no news that all vaccines are contaminated by dangerous heavy metals including mercury and aluminum as well as fluoride and neurotoxins like formaldehyde, MSG, aspartame, viral particles, including stealth viruses, and cancer causing viruses and stray particles. It is no secret that human (including fetal tissue) materials like DNA are contaminants of viruses, along with dangerous chemicals like Polysorbate 80, linked to infertility.
It is less well know that the adjuvants, which are basically immune irritants, put into vaccines to increase the amount of antibody formation produced by vaccines which, without the adjuvants would not produce enough antibody response to be justified, are themselves serious dangers to health. For example, squalene is more or less harmless if breathed, applied to the skin or swallowed. But as the disastrous Vaccine A experimenets on our troops in the Gulf War have tragically demonstrated, once injected, squalene is the source of immense immune overload and finally, immune collapse in a devastating set of problems lumped together under the term “Gulf War Syndrome”. Most modern vaccines include adjuvants, many of which are secret ingredients, but often include squalene.
Further concern centers around secret ingredients which are not even trade secrets: they are depopulation agents. The World Health Organization (WHO) was recently convicted by the Supreme Court of the Philippines of sterilizing at least 3 million women through the use of a vaccine intentionally contaminated with a human hormone which is necessary for reproduction in women. By including it in vaccines, this hormone causes the body to produce antibodies to it which renders the woman unable to carry a baby although her ability to conceive is not impaired.
According to WHO records, this same depopulation strategy was used in vaccines given to African women starting in 1985 to “eliminate 150 million EXCESS sub Saharan Africans [Emphasis added by me to a quote from WHO documents – REL]. It has been used via a “special” tetanus vaccine series of 5 shots generously given to poor women in South and Central America, Thailand, Africa and elsewhere. The WHO maintains that for the planet to achieve “sustainability” it must have 80-90% fewer people on it than it does today. Its vaccine fertility control task forces for the control of male and female fertility have been operating since 1974, the same year that then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger prepared Memorandum 200 for then-President Nixon stating that depopulation had to be the US first priority in Foreign Policy, beginning with [note, beginning with- REL] the third world.
As an interesting side note, it is important to consider that a vaccine rendering young women sterile, supposedly for 1 year, is being sold in the US as a birth control option. No one knows if the results are, in fact, induced sterility for one year or not. Life-long sterility could be the result. Time will tell.
This same contamination of vaccines with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), the female hormone necessary to carry a baby to term, is intentionally included in the vaccine everypregnant Thai tribal woman is forced to take. Without it, she is told, her baby cannot receive the important identity card. Once she receives the shot from the Department of Health worker, she will inevitably miscarry, no matter how far along the pregnancy is.
Evidence which I find compelling suggests strongly that material designed to drive the immune system, specifically the CD-4 cells, to collapse, opening the way for a host of opportunistic diseases (this induced condition is known by the collective term HIV/AIDS).

The manufacturer of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the same ones given to our children and health care providers, is currently on trial for homicide in France because of the number of deaths caused in infants and others because of known contaminants. Due to the ever-corporate friendly protective nature of the relationship of the US Congress and the FDA, vaccine-injured people in the US cannot hold doctors or manufacturers accountable and cannot sue them for the damages incurred. On a positive note, that wall of non-protection has been breeched in a Georgia case in which a Federal judge has ruled that parents may sue a vaccine manufacturer for damage to their child.
This landmark case may open a door which regulation and legislation has shut for Americans, as the consent by the CDC in the Vaccine Injury Special Court system that a 9 year old autistic girl was vaccine injured because of a supposedly rare mitochondrial disorder and is thus entitled to compensation for her care may open a small doorway for vaccine injured children.
The bigger door, however, is to make sure that no one IS vaccine injured or, if they chose to run the risk of such injuries, that they will be free to do so in the full knowledge of the risks incurred by submitting to vaccination.
Currently, the US has announced its determination to vaccinate very man, woman and child in the US with an Avian Flu vaccine made in China by Sanofi-Pasteur and loaded into individual dose syringes in Pennsylvania. This vaccine was approved by the FDA in the complete absence of any formal clinical trials (although apparently informal ones have been conducted in Poland where the impact of the vaccine on the over 300 vagrants vaccinated include 11 immediate deaths and hundreds of reactions so severe that the 2 physicians and 4 nurses involved in the “trial” are now accused of homicide. The Minister of Health of Poland has said that none of the accused should ever be permitted to practice medicine or nursing again. This same vaccine is, according to our information, the stuff waiting for the compliant arms of “every man, woman and child in the United States”.
Further information suggests that not only the Avian Flu virus itself, but the very vaccines designed to “protect” us against it (although the science behind ANY vaccine protecting us from anything is worse than questionable) has also been weaponized.
Two biochemistry/microbiology researchers were brutally tortured and murdered on June 29,208 in London, England. Their computer was stolen shortly before their murder. These researchers were, according to information released recently, murdered by a British-Mossad assassination team now in custody in the UK. The researchers had uncovered information leading to the conclusion that not only was the Avian Flu virus itself weaponized with genetic material from the 1918 pandemic “Spanish Flu” (which was not Spanish at all, but created in the US as the first, and most successful Bio Weapon of all time on orders of then-President Teddy Roosevelt and injected into US Soldiers in Kansas before they were sent to Spain for “training” and exposure to mutation-inducing poison gases)but the vaccines supposedly being created to protect the population from the approaching pandemic Avian Flu had also been weaponized to produce a deadly disease upon injection.
Their horrific murders and the subsequent apprehension of their professional killers was covered by the European press, but totally ignored by all US media. The story of their discoveries was also totally neglected by the US media.
The Natural Solutions Foundation’s press release was censored by the media outlet we attempted to use to bring this attention to the light of day and request substantiation of this vitally important information by the media outlet which published it in September, 2008.
Mandatory vaccination for mumps was imposed on college students in Maine last December 11, 2007. Students who were not vaccinated or chose to refuse vaccination were locked out of their dormitories, dining halls, libraries, student unions and classrooms when their key cards were inactivated. This happened on the same day that Health Canada withdrew approval for the same vaccine for use in children and adults because of its dangers. Students, whose tuition, room and board were already paid for, were denied access to instruction and shelter, food and resources in the winter time without notice.
Mandatory vaccination is now being recommended for college students, especially those in dorm, even though, as the article making this recommendation states, last year’s flu vaccine did not “cover” one of two viruses causing the flu. This year’s flu vaccine will supposedly contain 4 viruses in an attempt to avoid last year’s embarrassing failure by the CCDC and World Health Organization (WHO) to “guess” right in the spring before the flu season hit. Each year, these organizations decide what the offending virus is likely to be in the next flu season and authorize vaccines against those viruses which are then recommended (or mandated)as the “flu shot”. Last year, as often happens, the guess was wrong and the CDC announced that the vaccine was ineffective from 40-60% of the time.
Given that 94% of the flu vaccine available contained thimerisol (50% mercury by weight)as well as the usual toxins, and whatever else the vials might be hiding, and that both children and adults are susceptible to the toxic impact of these biological and chemical components, this tetravalent vaccination does not suggest any more safety than the previous ones, including the disastrous and deadly Swine Flu vaccine) offer.
New Jersey made headlines last November by announcing that it would require mandatory flu vaccination for all children in the state from age 6 months (2 shots in the first year) to age 18 plus meningococcus and Hepatitis B shots for all children in the state at various times in their school career.
Now this state, home to so many major pharmaceutical companies, has taken the mandatory vaccination thrust a step farther: all children, whether enrolled in school or home schooled, MUST receive the vaccines approved by the Superintendent of Schools for the child’s home district or be refused permission to stay in a home schooled environment.

Despite the total global absence of a pandemic strain of Avian Flu and despite excellent evidence that non toxic strategies like nanosilver ingestion and hygiene measures are sufficient to kill any Avian Flu virus yet identified, the thrust is toward untested, potentially very dangerous, and scientifically absurd vaccinations. These vaccines, however, carry a hefty price tag: the Sanofi-Pasteur vaccine, approved by the FDA on an “emergency basis” for a disease that does not exist, and slated for use in every person in the US, and approved in the absence of any formal trials, was purchased by the US Government for the hefty price of $15 per dose, or $1.5 billion dollars for 100 million doses. This vaccine shipment, the first of several if all Americans will receive at least one dose, gives the US government a tight exclusive on the vaccine preventing price cutting or competition: in its approval documentation, the fact that the vaccine cannot be sold to any agency or customer other than the US Government is stipulated.
This stipulation means that the ingredients are not listed, do not have to be listed, may not be listed on the package insert or elsewhere.
Americans were notified on July 23, 2008 by the FDA and on July 24, 2008 by the Department of Homeland Security, that the intention of the US Government is to vaccinate every person in the US with this vaccine “starting with those who want it”. Americans are well aware that Patriot Act I and II, BioShield I and II and BARDA all make mandatory vaccination a requirement to avoid involuntary internment and quarantine.
They are also well aware that hundreds of thousands of plastic coffins have been purchased by the US Government and are sitting in depots, including the one famously photographed in Georgia.
American know that every state in the country has passed a version of the Emergency Medical Powers Act which makes refusing treatment, especially vaccination, once a “Pandemic” has been declared by the governor of the state, a felony which, as such, can be punished by incarceration or internment.
They are well informed about the fact that the US Government is reported to have purchased at least one large tract of land in upstate New York for a mass burial site and that the UK has announced mass burial plans as well since cremation would, according to the estimates of the British Parliament, run up to 17 weeks behind deaths despite increased crematoria capacity building recently undertaken.
All this for a disease that does not yet exist.
Americans are also aware that US troops have been moved into place to control civil disruption, subdue unruly persons relocate persons as necessary in a permanent domestic duty deployment which began October 1, 2008. The 1st Battle Group of the 3rd Infantry has been placed under the permanent command of NorthCom, the Northern Command of the US Army. NorthCom signed a much hearalded agreement with the Canadian Military to allow Canadian troops access to US territory for the same reasons and US troops have been operating in Canada performing domestic duties since April, 2007.
This, of course, follows the integration of the US FDA, Canadian HealthCanada and Mexican Department of Health under the Trilateral Cooperation Charter in 2003, erasing further the sovereign powers and status of the United States.
So Americans are well aware of the vaccine threats lurking. They remember well the November, 2007 atrocity in which Prince George’s County imposed vaccination under the amused and watchful eye of a judge (who remarked that the crying children were “kind of cute”) on threat of imprisonment and fines for parents of unvaccinated children and re vaccinated 1100 children whose records it admitted it had lost but who were fully vaccinated. They also remember the interviews granted by State’s Attorney Glen Ivey, father of young children, who admitted that he would not allow his own children to receive the vaccines which were being administered under police and attack dog guard in the Court House that tragic November Saturday. Maryland is among the states which allow parents to file an exemption if they do not want their children to receive the vaccines offered. These parents, mostly poor, black (like Attorney Ivey) and uneducated, from the one of the poorest school districts in the nation, were not told of their option to refuse these vaccinations.
The Natural Solutions Foundation asks you to take effective and vigorous action by notifying your state and federal legislators that these compulsory vaccination precedents are not acceptable to you. Please take a moment to sign the Tiburon Declaration, which takes issue with compulsory drugging, including vaccination, and which will be presented to all US legislators when we have amassed enough signatures. Then please take another moment to take each of the action steps listed above if you have not already done so, to raise the voice of the net roots loud and clear so that legislators understand that they are playing with your health freedom and that you do not like that and will not allow that to continue.

Let’s stop this right now!

How School Vaccine Mandates Came About

In 1809, the first state law mandating vaccination was enacted in Massachusetts. By 1855, Massachusetts became the first state to enact a school vaccination requirement for Smallpox. By the twentieth century, roughly half of the states had enacted vaccine mandates for children before they could enter school; however, they were not strictly enforced. The Diphtheria vaccine was introduced in the 1920’s, but only a few states made the Diphtheria vaccine compulsory for two decades. By the early 1950’s, with the licensure of the Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines, state and local health departments began more aggressive vaccination programs. When the Salk Polio vaccine was licensed in 1955, only a few states passed laws that mandated it for school entry. The polio vaccine also led to federal funding of state and local vaccine programs. In 1962, the Vaccination Assistance Act established a federally coordinated program that would supply funds for the purchase and administration of childhood vaccines. By 1963, several vaccines were mandated, but there was no enforcement by all states. The New York City health commissioner opposed making the Polio vaccine mandatory in 1965.

Compulsory vaccination made some radical changes by the late 1960’s and 1970’s. In 1970 a nationwide rubella vaccine campaign was launched. It was recommended by the Department of Health for all 11-13 year old girls. Then the CDC moved on and began leading a nationwide effort to eradicate Measles. In 1968, only a half the states required one or more vaccines for school entry. By the early 1970’s, the Measles Initiative program was started. By 1976-77, health officials strictly enforced the vaccine mandate for Measles under the Childhood immunization Initiative. Its purpose was to raise vaccination coverage in children to 90% by 1979. The largest component of this initiative was to enact and enforce school vaccination mandates.

By 1981, all fifty states mandated Measles vaccine along with all others for school entry. Nearly all states had school vaccination mandates covering Kindergarten through 12th grade levels, and mandates for licensed preschools. State mandated vaccine laws specified which vaccines would be required and the number of doses. Some states authorized the public health boards to designate which vaccines and doses would be required. States were not uniform in what vaccines they require, or how many doses. This still holds true today. In 1980, the state of Wisconsin passed the No-immunization-No School law and was enforced by March 1981. Other states soon followed.

In 1998–1999, all but four states (Louisiana, Michigan, South Carolina, and West Virginia) enacted mandates which covered Kindergarten through 12th grade. In 48 states, with the exception of Iowa and West Virginia, daycare mandates and Head Start program mandates were enacted. Thirty states mandated some requirements for college entrance. School vaccine mandates included:

All 50 states required: Diphtheria toxoid, Polio, Measles and Rubella vaccines

49 states required: Tetanus toxoid

46 states required: Mumps

44 states required: Pertussis

28 states required: Hepatitis B

During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, state vaccine laws were tightened to make religious and philosophical exemptions harder to obtain. By the end of the 1990’s, the trend was reversed. Religious and Philosophical exemptions were made less restrictive through rewriting exemption clauses.

The Task Force on Community Preventive Services is an independent body carrying out evidence-based reviews of the literature to assess the claims that preventive interventions directed to populations are effective. One of the 17 interventions reviewed for vaccine-preventable diseases was mandatory vaccination requirements. The Task Force found that sufficient evidence existed to demonstrate the effectiveness of these requirements in increasing vaccine coverage, thereby reducing disease incidence, and so recommended their use.

U.S. Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986 and the Vaccine Compensation Amendments in 1987 and 1995. The NCVIA establishes a compensation system for people who may be injured by routine vaccinations. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Public Law 99-660, was signed by President Reagan in November 1986, however, it did not contain a funding mechanism to enable the compensation system to operate. In 1987, Congress passed amendments to the law and developed a plan to fund the system, which comes from a surcharge on each mandatory vaccine. The main purpose of the law was to create safety provisions for the administration of vaccines to help prevent future vaccine injuries, to promote the improvement of existing vaccines and develop safer vaccines. Another element was to create a no-fault compensation system alternative to suing vaccine manufacturers and physicians on behalf of injured or deceased people from reactions to mandated vaccines. Children and/or adults injured or killed from these vaccines are divided into two categories; those who were damaged or killed before October 1, 1988 and those who were damaged or killed after that date. In 1990, the FDA and the CDC developed the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which allows public and private physicians to use one standard reporting form to report reactions.

Vaccine Tyranny Grows More Legs and Teeth In New Jersey
New Jersey is home to a large number of very wealthy and powerful pharmaceutical companies and it is clear that neither the governor nor the legislators of that state are willing to disappoint them in their quest for unlimited vaccination access to every man, woman and child in their reach.
Forget the fact that New Jersey’s autistic population already reaches astounding levels:

“Researchers in 14 states conducted the autism monitoring activities in demographically representative sections of their states, under the umbrella of a CDC-sponsored network called the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, or ADDM. Walter Zahorodny, Ph.D., an assistant professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, was the lead researcher on the New Jersey portion of the ADDM network investigation.

The New Jersey monitoring covered Essex, Hudson, Union and Ocean counties. The autism spectrum disorder prevalence rates identified in those areas of New Jersey were higher than in other ADDM-surveyed states – 9.9 cases per 1,000 8-year-olds in 2000, and 10.6 cases per 1,000 8-year-olds in 2002. According to the new findings, New Jersey’s autism rate is the highest of the 14 states in the ADDM network.”

http://www.umdnj.edu/about/news_events/releases/07/r020807_CDCReleases_StudyofAutismRates.htm

Forget the fact that 94% of the available pediatric vaccination doses still contain mercury. Forget the fact that flu vaccines cause the symptoms of flu as side effects of the vaccination itself. Forget the fact that most epidemics occurs in fully vaccinated populations. Forget the fact that vaccines carry dangers far beyond mercury, aluminum hydroxide, formaldehyde, fluoride, MSG, aspartame, Polysorbate 80 (associated with infertility). Forget the fact that vaccines are routinely contaminated, according to the FDA and CDC, with stealth viruses, parts of human, animal and virus genetic materials, carcinogenic viruses and other potentially lethal debris.
Forget about the fact that parental rights should determine if a child is vaccinated. Forget about the fact that the State of New Jersey has decided that religious exemptions can only be granted if the child has NEVER had a vaccination in his life because they have decreed an “all or nothing” policy whose logic I have not yet been able to disect in order to make sense of it.
Just remember that the State of New Jersey knows that parents sometimes feel so strongly about their dangerous invasive vaccination policies that they will homeschool their children rather than subject them to the dangers, or religiously unacceptable, vaccines decried by the State.
And then, again, sometimes parents homeschool their children for completely different reasons but do not believe in, see the necesity for, or want vaccinations for their children.
Well, the State has other ideas. Not only must the curriculum meet the needs and whims of the Superintendent of the home district of the child, but the vaccination schedule that the Superintendent enforces (I’m sorry, I thought they were superintendents of education, not vaccination policy – I guess I got that wrong). Otherwise, the child is immediately sucked back into the school system – complete with vaccinations.
Consider what that means to a vaccine injured child. Consider what that means to freedom. Consider what that says about the onrush of the police state which owns your body and your child’s.
Ralph Fucetola, attorney and trustee of the Natural Solutions Foundation has this to say about the attack on home schoolers, health and freedom in his Vitaminlawyer blog on the subject:
NJ May Mandate Vaccines for Home schooled Children!
That’s right. NJ, even as we are fighting the Dietitian’s Monopoly Bill and seeking to secure protection from dangerous, mandated vaccinations, is planning another vaccine assault on our children.

Assembly Bill A3123, the anti-homeschooling bill introduced on September 28, 2008, among other evil provisions, would enact:

“1. Prior to the establishment of a home education program and annually thereafter… a parent or guardian shall submit to the superintendent of the resident school district a notarized letter registering his child in a home education program. The letter shall include … e. evidence that each student being registered has been immunized in accordance with the provisions of the State Sanitary Code…”

http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2008/Bills/A3500/3123_I1.HTM

Privacy? Parental Rights? Religious Rights? Protection of our Children from Assault by the Uninsurable Risk of Vaccination… the Trenton Thugs continue the attack, so we must continue to defend our families!

Health Freedom is at risk yet again, and yet again, the attacks on freedom of choice are attacks on the lives of our loved ones.

The system is sick it needs a really big dose of freedom to recover!

Terror Days for Health Freedom. 1 Gardasil Required for Immigrant Women, Not Citizens

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

The Natural Solutions Foundation has been ringing the alarm bell linking compulsory vaccinations and health freedom’s death knell. After all, if you don’t own your body, and can’t make your own decisions about what goes into it, are you free? We think not.

So much is happening around vaccination to strip our freedoms away from us that we think a special Health Freedom Blog series is in order.

We will be publishing, with full attribution, of course, the progressive attempts at the erosion of your control over your own body.

Here’s the first entry: The US Immigration and Naturalization Service now owns, it believes, the right to make decisions for women entering the country as legal immigrants: they, unlike other women in the United States will be compelled to receive 3 shots, at $162 per shot, to “protect” against a highly questionable “public health hazard” with a dangerous injection for HPV.

The FDA has admitted in its own documentation that the 4 strains of HPV which the Merck vaccine supposedly protect against are NOT involved with cervical cancer, and that the administration of the vaccine actually INCREASES the chance of cervical cancer by a factor of 4 fold.

“FDA Documents Reveal HPV “Not Associated with Cervical Cancer”, http://deathbypaxil.com/?p=296

None the less, this risky shot series has been added to the list of vaccines required for immigrant women despite the contrary recommendation of CDC experts who felt that it was not necessary.

A children’s song about inappropriate touching said, “My body’s nobody’s body but mine. You run your own body. Let me run mine!”

The Natural Solutions Foundation could not agree more!

To stop compulsory drugging and vaccination, click here,http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=460, to sign the Tiburon Declaration. And to get your copy of the highly informative Vaccine Exemption eBook, click here,http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=699. A third action step you can take is to let your elected representatives know that you do not favor compulsory drugging or vaccination and add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of people already telling them. Click here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=21833 , to say “No!” to state required vaccination.

Bush Administration Forcing HPV Vaccine On Immigrants

September 15, 2008
In July, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly amended its list of required vaccinations for immigrants applying to become citizens. One of the newest requirements? Gardasil, which vaccinates against the human papillomavirus (HPV). From the agency’s press release:

CDC’s revised Technical Instructions to Civil Surgeons for Vaccination Requirements require the following age-appropriate additional vaccinations to adjust status to legal permanent resident:

* Rotavirus
* Hepatitis A
* Meningococcal
* Human papillomavirus
* Zoster

This regulation goes directly against the advice of Dr. Jon Abramson, chairman of the CDC’s advisory committee on immunization practices. In Feb. 2007, Abramson said that he and other committee members advised that Gardasil should not be mandatory because HPV is not a communicable disease like chicken pox.

The problem with this regulation is that the HPV vaccine is not mandatory for U.S. citizens. Therefore, U.S. citizens are allowed to weight the costs and risks associated with Gardasil, but immigrants are forced to pay-out-of-pocket for a vaccine they might not want to take. Some of the problems with this scenario:

Cost: Without health insurance, the three-shot vaccine can cost $162 per dose, making it the most expensive vaccine on the market. Gardasil manufacturer Merck, which lobbied heavily for state mandates for school girls, would profit greatly from the new regulations

Testing on underserved populations: WOC PhD writes how immigrants and women of color have historically been used as human test subjects: “[Although] Gardasil has already been approved by the FDA recent complications in patients using the drug, 3500 major complaints in a single year and 8000 since the approval, as well as multiple deaths, could indicate that more testing is needed. Why pull the drug off the market when you can study the results through a mandated population?”

Immigration barrier: Jessica Arons, Director of the Women’s Health and Rights Program at the Center for American Progress, expressed concerns to ThinkProgress that this mandate will block women from immigrating: “Given Gardasil’s high cost, and the fact that there does not seem to be a public health justification for this particular mandate, I’m concerned that its real purpose is to create a financial barrier for immigrant women who seek to lawfully enter this country.”

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection in the United States. The two most deadly strains are “responsible for most of the cervical cancer in the U.S., affecting over 10,000 women each year and killing more than 3,700 of them.”

Gardasil has so far proven to be extremely effective in preventing women from contracting HPV and should remain a widely available option for women. But as Jill at Feministe notes, “[E]very woman deserves the right to decide for herself if the benefits of Gardasil outweigh the risks. And we all need to be vigilant when we see the history of reproductive exploitation of bodies of color repeating itself.”

Old Flu Shots, Then New Flu Shots. Who Knows, Maybe It’ll Work: SLU

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

One of the largest vaccine trials ever has been announced by St. Louis University. That trial will enroll 167 people.
You read that right. One of the largest vaccine trials ever will involve fewer than 170 people. If you thought that vaccines were tested over the long term and on lots of people, thing again.

Not only that, the trial appears to me as if it is an attempt to find a use for out of date, or useless old flu vaccines.

Flu vaccines are pretty much useless anyway, from where I sit, but they are valuable, at least from the point of their makers and the people who have purchased them so any use they can be put to would be welcome to those who own them.

In an article dated September 8, 2008, St. Louis University announced that it would be trying a novel approach to Pandemic Flu prevention: using an old flu vaccine approved in 2004 to prime [in other words, to irritate it-REL] in order to develop “protection” against another version of the Avian Flu when a shot for that (or a different) strain of the virus that causes Avain Flu is given.

If I did not know better, I would say that someone with a lot of money invested in ineffective, dangerous and outmoded vaccines was looking for a new use for them. You see, each year, the World Health Organization, the CDC and other organizations get together in the Spring of the year and literally guess, yes that is correct – GUESS – which strain of the so called “seasonal flu” is going to come around next fall and cause the disease we know as “the flu”.

How good are their guesses? Pretty bad. “Statisticians at CDC say that influenza is inherently unpredictable, that it’s such a random event that there’s no way that you can predict future outcomes,” said Forrest Nelson, professor of economics at the University of Iowa, says. http://scienceline.org/2007/05/23/hsu_health_flu-prediction/

Science Daily, reporting on a study published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, noted “Each year’s flu vaccine needs to be designed in advance, based on which strains of virus are anticipated to be prevalent in the coming year. Because the accuracy of that prediction varies, the effectiveness of the flu vaccine also varies from year to year.” http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070904072851.htm. This suggests, but does not document the CDC’s dismal record of prediction accuracy.

That record is so dismal, in fact, that a recent study which examined whether Seniors who were “properly” vaccinated were protected by the flu shot noted, ” Researchers say that older people suffering chronic conditions, such as lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, have even higher flu risk despite vaccination. Scientists thought that flu vaccine provides with 20-30% protection against pneumonia, but this research suggests that the protection level is only from 5% to 10%….Effectiveness of flu vaccine is different each year, it depends on how successful virus strain predictions for a current year will be. Flu vaccine cuts infection rates from 40% to 60% in the best cases.” http://www.emaxhealth.com/90/23622.html

But whether they are effective or not, flu vaccines are costly to make. True, they are wildly profitable if used but, when the populace figures out that they are both unsafe, unnecessary and do not provide protection, they do not use the stocks up, creating an economic blow for the highly economically motivated pharmaceutical companies.

On August 18, 2008, the St. Louis Business Journal wrote about the “quiet crisis” created by lack of increases in NIH funding. “St. Louis Business Journal — Five straight years of flat funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have Washington University and Saint Louis University scrambling to fill financial gaps with other funding sources to keep biomedical research projects going.

Officials at both universities said they increasingly are using internal funds and applying for grants from private foundations and pharmaceutical companies to make up for less NIH money….Besides nonprofits, another source to which researchers have turned is pharmaceutical companies, but that’s not ideal either

“Our work doesn’t really mesh with them,” said Dr. Randy Sprague, a professor of pharmacology and physiological science at Saint Louis University. ” http://www.biospace.com/news_story.aspx?NewsEntityId=107184

Apparently, however, their work meshes well enough to try to use old flu vaccines to pump up the effect of new ones (which may or may not be made from viral strains which may or may not be causing disease in a body near you.

But you never know. It might work. Or, then again, it might not.

Of course, the impact of experimental vaccines, or extra vaccinations (94% of all available flu vaccines still contain mercury and all of them contain several (or all of the following): bits of fetal and animal tissue, “stealth viruses” which can cause cancer and other potentially lethal diseases, aluminum hydroxide (associated with Alzheimer’s Disease and especially toxic in the presence of fluoride), alumino-fluoride complexes, Polysorbate 80 (known to cause sterility), MSG (a brain irritant), mercury, formaldehyde, mixtures of viruses and bacteria, sometimes dead or inactivated. None of the vaccines have been subjected to any long-term safety trials (longer than a few weeks). Most were only studied for a few days and then approved if nothing untoward was detected by the Medical Advisory Committees, many of whom had large share-holdings or other vested interests in the vaccine companies, as recently revealed in US Congressional hearings.” according to Mike Godfrey MBBS, FACAM, FACNEM. http://www.healthy.co.nz/healthy-developments-news-item-138.html

The race to vaccinate against everything anyone, adult or child, could possibly experience began when vaccine manufacturers decided to use the US Congress to build a bulwark against the tremendous losses they were incurring by having to compensate parents for the damages their vaccines were doing to children. “By the 1970s, the manufacturers were losing very costly court actions for vaccine-damaged infants. They successfully lobbied the US Congress by threatening to stop manufacture, and in 1986, Congress gave them immunity from prosecution. This unique legislation allowed a commercial organization total freedom to start developing vaccines for all childhood illnesses. It also resulted in a massive commercial drive to mandate vaccination for every child before entering school.” http://www.healthy.co.nz/healthy-developments-news-item-138.html
And, of course, once the child hood vaccination market had been secured, adults, especially healthy adults, were the next market.

Whether for use in children or adults, however, vaccines and their toxic components, have never, repeat, never, been tested for safety in combination. That means that their dangers are less than unknown. Since vaccine manufacturers are totally protected from product liability, at least in the US, there is no reason for a manufacturer to spend money making the vaccines safe or testing them to make sure that they are, at the very least, not harmful.

So it is not outside the realm of possibility that this “largest vaccine trial ever” is just another ploy to make more money from vaccine stocks. Whether or not that is the motivation behind this “largest vaccine trial ever”, there are so many distressing aspects to the trial it is hard to know where to begin. A good place might be not to take flu vaccines!

Pandemic Preparation: SLU Launches Avian Flu Study

NIH-Funded Study Examines Combining Stockpiled and New Vaccines

Pandemic Preparation: SLU Launches Avian Flu Study
NIH-Funded Study Examines Combining Stockpiled and New Vaccines

ST. LOUIS — Saint Louis University School of Medicine seeks volunteers for one of the largest avian flu clinical trials in the United States to test a new vaccine approach to prevent the disease.

The study will test whether an injection of an FDA-approved avian flu vaccine created in 2004 can “prime” the body’s immune system so a second shot of a different avian flu vaccine can protect against avian flu infection. The second vaccine is an investigational vaccine, which has not yet been given to people.

“This study will answer several scientific questions, but the most important one is whether you can prime with one strain of influenza vaccine and boost the body’s immune system with another,” said Robert Belshe, M.D., director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Vaccines protect against influenza by triggering the body to produce antibodies against infection. The study will examine the vigor of the body’s antibody response and the safety of the vaccines.

Creating an effective vaccine for the avian flu is challenging. Like any other influenza bug, the avian flu virus — known as H5 — is constantly evolving. In addition, two doses of vaccine are likely to be needed to prevent avian flu infection, said Belshe, who is the study’s principal investigator.

Avian flu occurs in birds, and in rare instances has crossed the species barrier to infect people. As of June 2008, the World Health Organization reported 385 human cases of avian flu and 243 deaths in Asia, Europe and Africa. The virus has not yet changed so it can be spread easily between people.

Public health experts are concerned that the avian flu could become the next influenza pandemic — or outbreak of disease that sweeps around the globe, causing millions of deaths worldwide — because previous outbreaks have been started by bird viruses. Consequently researchers are focused on finding a vaccine to protect against avian flu.

“Although many years have passed since the last major pandemic, the serious threat of pandemic influenza remains,” Belshe said.

“So far there has been no substantial leap between the bird species and humans. However other pandemics have started when the organism jumps between species and we’re worried it will happen again. A few genetic changes can occur in the virus and it would become highly infectious to humans. We’re trying to prepare.”

Saint Louis University is the lead site of the research, which is sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health and will include up to five study sites. Of the 500 volunteers who are being recruited nationally, up to 167 people will be enrolled at SLU’s NIAID-funded Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU).

The study involves four to nine visits to the VTEU and overall the study lasts six to 12 months, depending upon the group to which a participant is randomly assigned.

Potential study volunteers must be healthy, between 18 and 49 years of age, not pregnant and not allergic to eggs.

Participants will receive two vaccines — one or two doses of the 2004 avian flu vaccine that currently is stockpiled; one or two doses of the investigational vaccine that matches a different strain of the avian flu; or both vaccines.

For more information about enrolling in the study, please call the Saint Louis University VTEU at (314) 977-6333 or email vaccine@slu.edu.
