The Anti-Vaccination Movement and Public Safety

It's Damn Real!

The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
I'm sure you've heard of it by now, and it isn't exactly new, but over the past week or so the anti-vaccination movement has really been given the light of day because of various measles outbreaks in the U.S., most notably at Disneyland California.

Forty-two of the state's 59 measles cases since December can be linked to initial exposure at Disneyland and the adjacent Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California Department of Public Health officials said.

In addition, nine other cases from people living outside of California were linked to Disneyland, authorities said. The people in those cases live in Utah, Washington state, Oregon, Arizona and the country of Mexico, authorities said.

For the most part, it spreads among those who have not been vaccinated against the virus. Overall, 82% of those infected in this outbreak were not vaccinated, either because they're too young or because they elected not to be, officials said.

Here in New York, a Bard College student who was infected got on a train at Penn and travelled to Albany.

Measles, a highly infectious disease and that can be deadly, especially in young children, is the newest disease making a rampant comeback over the decisions of anti-vaxxers to not vaccinate their children. While the outbreak has occurred mostly in California, the case in New York has the potential to spread. Considering the fears over Ebola, Measles has a longer life outside the body and can be contracted airborne. Very scary, especially for anyone with children.

Penn and Teller, albeit bluntly (so it's likely to offend a lot of the anti-vaxxers [not that I give a fuck about their feelings being hurt]), absolutely nailed this subject in a short video released a little bit back.

I get that there's a legal line here we need to determine between what, exactly, parents have the right to choose for their children, but when it comes to physical health like this, where it's actually beyond simply the physical health of your own children, rather the health of all those they may come into contact with, I draw the line at harm. Just as I do with everything else regarding beliefs. You can believe whatever the fuck you want, and you can stupidly teach your children this same idiotic, evidence-lacking nonsense, because unfortunately it's your right to remain ignorant on any given topic as an American. However, when your beliefs are harmful, meaning that they actually cause tangible harm and/or damage, as this anti-vaccine movement has done, we've got a serious problem on our hands. To me, it's no different than you thinking it's your right to physically beat your child, because it's your child. You do have the right to spank your child, for example, but you can't do so with a baseball bat, because it's child abuse, and we as a society would prosecute you were you to do it. We mandate that people wear seat belts and that children under a certain age have to be in the back seat of vehicles, strapped into car seats because we recognize that science has produced tools which are proven to be effective at protecting children's safety. Vaccines do this as well, so if you ask me, the same should hold true of this anti-vaccine movement. It's a kin to child abuse, and begins to bleed over into a slew of other areas because not only are you putting your own child/children at risk, but the lives of others as well. And all of this, over utterly unsubstantiated claims they cannot demonstrate to be true.

Putting aside for a moment the fact that what you believe lacks any credible evidence whatsoever, and that the vast majority of this misinformation came from a single study conducted by a widely discredited scientific fraud named Andrew Wakefield that's now being parroted by such highly regarded scientific minds like Jenny McCarthy and Rob Schneider, what truly matters here is that this has an evidence-based negative affect on the health of the Nation, and really, the world. We can actually sit back and look at the data and prove that these false beliefs — and they are false, for the record — are actually harming us. That's all that matters here in terms of crafting laws against this as far as I'm concerned. The affects are measurable, and the evidence indicates they are harmful, which tells me that it's now time for us as a society, and as a government, to step in and draft laws against this harmful practice — in exactly the same way we would the parent who thinks a baseball bat to a kids' back is an appropriate punishment for wrong behavior.

If someone is making a claim about something, the burden is on them to prove it. Anti-vaxxer folks ignore this and instead rely on a propaganda technique. They say things like "Vaccination may cause autism! Are you going to risk it with your child?" Yup. I am. Because your claim is without merit, and all the science on it indicates the opposite. And with that same methodology I can then quite confidentially claim, "anti-vaccination folks may be mentally ******ed". By their mehtods, my statement is fact, and proven.

It may seem excessive, but if we're not going to charge parents for child abuse when they refuse to vaccinate their own children (something that should be a fucking law), then it's time we start charging the parents of children who infect others with far more serious crimes — endangerment of a child, or even attempted murder. Is it sensational? Maybe, but if you truly consider the risk behind some of the diseases making a comeback, it's actually not.
 
I'm going to go to that well known authority on all moral subjects: Big Gay Al from South Park. In his words (albeit on a totally different subject):

"I thought we were past this."

And he's right. There is zero reason for this to still be an issue but for some reason it is. All of a sudden, other children are at risk of some disease that were basically wiped out years ago because Jenny McCarthy and Rob Schneider said something. Let that sink in for a minute. We're now at a place where children are at risk because the chick from Singled Out and Deuce Bigelow are our medical experts? You know where I go to get my medical advice? My doctor, who has been practicing medicine for about fifteen years, has a medical degree from the University of Kentucky and is certified by the Kentucky Board of Family Health. Unfortunately he didn't have time to get famous as a man teaching martial arts to prisoners to prevent shower rape or posing nude in Playboy because he was busy learning basic medical ideas that were established years and years ago.

At the end of the day, there is zero reason to not get your children vaccinated, assuming you actually have some common sense and don't listen to low level celebrities for medical advice. The fact that children are getting sick and potentially dying from these sort of diseases is disturbing and the fact that grown adults are willing to do this tells me that maybe it's time to institute a license to have a kid. SIt people down and ask them about things like this. If they don't have some freaking common sense and logic, cut off their testicles. It could save a lot of money, pain and sickness for those of us with brains.
 
It's actually because a discredited science fraud said it, and Jenny McCarthy and Rob Schneider, among others, are too fucking stupid to understand he was wrong. They just continue to parrot the same wrong-thinking, like a kid with autism might. Go figure. What makes it such a problem is that this nation, for some stupid reason, values the opinions of celebrities over scientists. When Neil deGrasse Tyson tells you X, Y or Z, you have the fucking gall to tell him he's wrong because Kirk Cameron says otherwise. It's baffling (though I'm sure you all know the reason why *cough*religion*cough*).

However, you are not correct in saying that there is zero reason not to get your children vaccinated. That's not entirely correct, that is. There are some cases where you can't — severe allergic reactions, leukemia treatments, etc. all would prevent you from being able to do so. To be more specific, there's zero reason for most parents to not vaccinate their children.
 
And I thought diseases like measles were already eradicated. I mean, weren't they? I have no idea whose brilliant idea it was to preach against vaccination, but I really have no sympathy for those mindless creatures who fall for that without any concrete research or data. And what has this done? I cannot even fathom how people could actually take advice from celebrities but ignore the more qualified doctors or their opinions.

Before we can cure diseases like measles or Ebola,we have to cure diseases like ignorance and stubbornness. Unfortunately, till the time we have blind people who can't tell doctor from witch, that's not gonna happen.
 
Believe what you want about vaccinations, but don't you dare attempt to force those beliefs on me.

You can say what you want matter-of-factly about vaccination, and I can do the same: Pandemics in modern society are fabricated and vaccinations are a major vehicle of the population reduction agenda.

But you don't have to take my word for any of this...

Here's an outstanding interview discussing the real truth about vaccines, straight from the mouth of a former top vaccine researcher for the US government's National Institutes of Health:

http://www.alternative-doctor.com/vaccination/rappaport.htm
"Dr Mark Randall"

Q: You were once certain that vaccines were the hallmark of good medicine.

A: Yes I was. I helped develop a few vaccines. I won't say which ones.

Q: Why not?

A: I want to preserve my privacy.

Q: So you think you could have problems if you came out into the open?

A: I believe I could lose my pension.

Q: On what grounds?

A: The grounds don't matter. These people have ways of causing you problems, when you were once part of the Club. I know one or two people who were put under surveillance, who were harassed.

Q: Harassed by whom?

A: The FBI.

Q: Really?

A: Sure. The FBI used other pretexts. And the IRS can come calling too.

Q: So much for free speech.

A: I was "part of the inner circle." If now I began to name names and make specific accusations against researchers, I could be in a world of trouble.

Q: What is at the bottom of these efforts at harassment?

A: Vaccines are the last defense of modern medicine. Vaccines are the ultimate justification for the overall "brilliance" of modern medicine.

Q: Do you believe that people should be allowed to choose whether they should get vaccines?

A: On a political level, yes. On a scientific level, people need information, so that they can choose well. It's one thing to say choice is good. But if the atmosphere is full of lies, how can you choose? Also, if the FDA were run by honorable people, these vaccines would not be granted licenses. They would be investigated to within an inch of their lives.

Q: There are medical historians who state that the overall decline of illnesses was not due to vaccines.

A: I know. For a long time, I ignored their work.

Q: Why?

A: Because I was afraid of what I would find out. I was in the business of developing vaccines. My livelihood depended on continuing that work.

Q: And then?

A: I did my own investigation.

Q: What conclusions did you come to?

A: The decline of disease is due to improved living conditions.

Q: What conditions?

A: Cleaner water. Advanced sewage systems. Nutrition. Fresher food. A decrease in poverty. Germs may be everywhere, but when you are healthy, you don't contract the diseases as easily.

Q: What did you feel when you completed your own investigation?

A: Despair. I realized I was working a sector based on a collection of lies.

Q: Are some vaccines more dangerous than others?

A: Yes. The DPT shot, for example. The MMR. But some lots of a vaccine are more dangerous than other lots of the same vaccine. As far as I'm concerned, all vaccines are dangerous.

Q: Why?

A: Several reasons. They involve the human immune system in a process that tends to compromise immunity. They can actually cause the disease they are supposed to prevent. They can cause other diseases than the ones they are supposed to prevent.

Q: Why are we quoted statistics which seem to prove that vaccines have been tremendously successful at wiping out diseases?

A: Why? To give the illusion that these vaccines are useful. If a vaccine suppresses visible symptoms of a disease like measles, everyone assumes that the vaccine is a success. But, under the surface, the vaccine can harm the immune system itself. And if it causes other diseases -- say, meningitis -- that fact is masked, because no one believes that the vaccine can do that. The connection is overlooked.

Q: It is said that the smallpox vaccine wiped out smallpox in England.

A: Yes. But when you study the available statistics, you get another picture.

Q: Which is?

A: There were cities in England where people who were not vaccinated did not get smallpox. There were places where people who were vaccinated experienced smallpox epidemics. And smallpox was already on the decline before the vaccine was introduced.

Q: So you're saying that we have been treated to a false history.

A: Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. This is a history that has been cooked up to convince people that vaccines are invariably safe and effective.

Q: Now, you worked in labs. Where purity was an issue.

A: The public believes that these labs, these manufacturing facilities are the cleanest places in the world. That is not true. Contamination occurs all the time. You get all sorts of debris introduced into vaccines.

Q: For example, the SV40 monkey virus slips into the polio vaccine.

A: Well yes, that happened. But that's not what I mean. The SV40 got into the polio vaccine because the vaccine was made by using monkey kidneys. But I'm talking about something else. The actual lab conditions. The mistakes. The careless errors. SV40, which was later found in cancer tumors -- that was what I would call a structural problem. It was an accepted part of the manufacturing process. If you use monkey kidneys, you open the door to germs which you don't know are in those kidneys.

Q: Okay, but let's ignore that distinction between different types of contaminants for a moment. What contaminants did you find in your many years of work with vaccines?

A: All right. I'll give you some of what I came across, and I'll also give you what colleagues of mine found. Here's a partial list. In the Rimavex measles vaccine, we found various chicken viruses. In polio vaccine, we found acanthamoeba, which is a so-called "brain-eating" amoeba. Simian cytomegalovirus in polio vaccine. Simian foamy virus in the rotavirus vaccine. Bird-cancer viruses in the MMR vaccine. Various micro-organisms in the anthrax vaccine. I've found potentially dangerous enzyme inhibitors in several vaccines. Duck, dog, and rabbit viruses in the rubella vaccine. Avian leucosis virus in the flu vaccine. Pestivirus in the MMR vaccine.

Q: Let me get this straight. These are all contaminants which don't belong in the vaccines.

A: That's right. And if you try to calculate what damage these contaminants can cause, well, we don't really know, because no testing has been done, or very little testing. It's a game of roulette. You take your chances. Also, most people don't know that some polio vaccines, adenovirus vaccines, rubella and hep A and measles vaccines have been made with aborted human fetal tissue. I have found what I believed were bacterial fragments and poliovirus in these vaccines from time to time -- which may have come from that fetal tissue. When you look for contaminants in vaccines, you can come up with material that IS puzzling. You know it shouldn't be there, but you don't know exactly what you've got. I have found what I believed was a very small "fragment" of human hair and also human mucus. I have found what can only be called "foreign protein," which could mean almost anything. It could mean protein from viruses.

Q: Alarm bells are ringing all over the place.

A: How do you think I felt? Remember, this material is going into the bloodstream without passing through some of the ordinary immune defenses.

Q: How were your findings received?

A: Basically, it was, don't worry, this can't be helped. In making vaccines, you use various animals' tissue, and that's where this kind of contamination enters in. Of course, I'm not even mentioning the standard chemicals like formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum which are purposely put into vaccines.

Q: This information is pretty staggering.

A: Yes. And I'm just mentioning some of the biological contaminants. Who knows how many others there are? Others we don't find because we don't think to look for them. If tissue from, say, a bird is used to make a vaccine, how many possible germs can be in that tissue? We have no idea. We have no idea what they might be, or what effects they could have on humans.

Q: And beyond the purity issue?

A: You are dealing with the basic faulty premise about vaccines. That they intricately stimulate the immune system to create the conditions for immunity from disease. That is the bad premise. It doesn't work that way. A vaccine is supposed to "create" antibodies which, indirectly, offer protection against disease. However, the immune system is much larger and more involved than antibodies and their related "killer cells."

Q: The immune system is?

A: The entire body, really. Plus the mind. It's all immune system, you might say. That is why you can have, in the middle of an epidemic, those individuals who remain healthy.

Q: So the level of general health is important.

A: More than important. Vital.

Q: How are vaccine statistics falsely presented?

A: There are many ways. For example, suppose that 25 people who have received the hepatitis B vaccine come down with hepatitis. Well, hep B is a liver disease. But you can call liver disease many things. You can change the diagnosis. Then, you've concealed the root cause of the problem.

Q: And that happens?

A: All the time. It HAS to happen, if the doctors automatically assume that people who get vaccines DO NOT come down with the diseases they are now supposed to be protected from. And that is exactly what doctors assume.You see, it's circular reasoning. It's a closed system. It admits no fault. No possible fault. If a person who gets a vaccine against hepatitis gets hepatitis, or gets some other disease, the automatic assumption is, this had nothing to do with the disease.

Q: In your years working in the vaccine establishment, how many doctors did you encounter who admitted that vaccines were a problem?

A: None. There were a few who privately questioned what they were doing. But they would never go public, even within their companies.

Q: What was the turning point for you?

A: I had a friend whose baby died after a DPT shot.

Q: Did you investigate?

A: Yes, informally. I found that this baby was completely healthy before the vaccination. There was no reason for his death, except the vaccine. That started my doubts. Of course, I wanted to believe that the baby had gotten a bad shot from a bad lot. But as I looked into this further, I found that was not the case in this instance. I was being drawn into a spiral of doubt that increased over time. I continued to investigate.I found that, contrary to what I thought, vaccines are not tested in a scientific way.

Q: What do you mean?

A: For example, no long-term studies are done on any vaccines. Long-term follow-up is not done in any careful way. Why? Because, again, the assumption is made that vaccines do not cause problems. So why should anyone check? On top of that, a vaccine reaction is defined so that all bad reactions are said to occur very soon after the shot is given. But that does not make sense.

Q: Why doesn't it make sense?

A: Because the vaccine obviously acts in the body for a long period of time after it is given. A reaction can be gradual. Deterioration can be gradual. Neurological problems can develop over time. They do in various conditions, even according to a conventional analysis. So why couldn't that be the case with vaccines? If chemical poisoning can occur gradually, why couldn't that be the case with a vaccine which contains mercury?

Q: And that is what you found?

A: Yes. You are dealing with correlations, most of the time. Correlations are not perfect. But if you get 500 parents whose children have suffered neurological damage during a one-year period after having a vaccine, this should be sufficient to spark off an intense investigation.

Q: Has it been enough?

A: No. Never. This tells you something right away.

Q: Which is?

A: The people doing the investigation are not really interested in looking at the facts. They assume that the vaccines are safe. So, when they do investigate, they invariably come up with exonerations of the vaccines. They say, "This vaccine is safe." But what do they base those judgments on? They base them on definitions and ideas which automatically rule out a condemnation of the vaccine.

Q: There are numerous cases where a vaccine campaign has failed. Where people have come down with the disease against which they were vaccinated.

A: Yes, there are many such instances. And there the evidence is simply ignored. It's discounted. The experts say, if they say anything at all, that this is just an isolated situation, but overall the vaccine has been shown to be safe. But if you add up all the vaccine campaigns where damage and disease have occurred, you realize that these are NOT isolated situations.

Q: Did you ever discuss what we are talking about here with colleagues, when you were still working in the vaccine establishment?

A: Yes I did.

Q: What happened?

A: Several times I was told to keep quiet. It was made clear that I should go back to work and forget my misgivings. On a few occasions, I encountered fear. Colleagues tried to avoid me. They felt they could be labeled with "guilt by association." All in all, though, I behaved myself. I made sure I didn't create problems for myself.

Q: If vaccines actually do harm, why are they given?

A: First of all, there is no "if." They do harm. It becomes a more difficult question to decide whether they do harm in those people who seem to show no harm. Then you are dealing with the kind of research which should be done, but isn't. Researchers should be probing to discover a kind of map, or flow chart, which shows exactly what vaccines do in the body from the moment they enter. This research has not been done. As to why they are given, we could sit here for two days and discuss all the reasons. As you've said many times, at different layers of the system people have their motives. Money, fear of losing a job, the desire to win brownie points, prestige, awards, promotion, misguided idealism, unthinking habit, and so on. But, at the highest levels of the medical cartel, vaccines are a top priority because they cause a weakening of the immune system. I know that may be hard to accept, but it's true. The medical cartel, at the highest level, is not out to help people, it is out to harm them, to weaken them. To kill them. At one point in my career, I had a long conversation with a man who occupied a high government position in an African nation. He told me that he was well aware of this. He told me that WHO is a front for these depopulation interests. There is an underground, shall we say, in Africa, made up of various officials who are earnestly trying to change the lot of the poor. This network of people knows what is going on. They know that vaccines have been used, and are being used, to destroy their countries, to make them ripe for takeover by globalist powers. I have had the opportunity to speak with several of these people from this network.

Q: Is Thabo Mbeki, the president of South Africa, aware of the situation?

A: I would say he is partially aware. Perhaps he is not utterly convinced, but he is on the way to realizing the whole truth. He already knows that HIV is a hoax. He knows that the AIDS drugs are poisons which destroy the immune system. He also knows that if he speaks out, in any way, about the vaccine issue, he will be branded a lunatic. He has enough trouble after his stand on the AIDS issue.

Q: This network you speak of.

A: It has accumulated a huge amount of information about vaccines. The question is, how is a successful strategy going to be mounted? For these people, that is a difficult issue.

Q: And in the industrialized nations?

A: The medical cartel has a stranglehold, but it is diminishing. Mainly because people have the freedom to question medicines. However, if the choice issue [the right to take or reject any medicine] does not gather steam, these coming mandates about vaccines against biowarefare germs are going to win out. This is an important time.

Q: The furor over the hepatits B vaccine seems one good avenue.

A: I think so, yes. To say that babies must have the vaccine-and then in the next breath, admitting that a person gets hep B from sexual contacts and shared needles -- is a ridiculous juxtaposition. Medical authorities try to cover themselves by saying that 20,000 or so children in the US get hep B every year from "unknown causes," and that's why every baby must have the vaccine. I dispute that 20,00 figure and the so-called studies that back it up.

Q: Andrew Wakefield, the British MD who uncovered the link between the MMR vaccine and autism, has just been fired from his job in a London hospital.

A: Yes. Wakefield performed a great service. His correlations between the vaccine and autism are stunning. Perhaps you know that Tony Blair's wife is involved with alternative health. There is the possibility that their child has not been given the MMR. Blair recently side-stepped the question in press interviews, and made it seem that he was simply objecting to invasive questioning of his "personal and family life." In any event, I believe his wife has been muzzled. I think, if given the chance, she would at least say she is sympathetic to all the families who have come forward and stated that their children were severely damaged by the MMR.

Q: British reporters should try to get through to her.

A: They have been trying. But I think she has made a deal with her husband to keep quiet, no matter what. She could do a great deal of good if she breaks her promise. I have been told she is under pressure, and not just from her husband. At the level she occupies, MI6 and British health authorities get into the act. It is thought of as a matter of national security.

Q: Well, it is national security, once you understand the medical cartel.

A: It is global security. The cartel operates in every nation. It zealously guards the sanctity of vaccines. Questioning these vaccines is on the same level as a Vatican bishop questioning the sanctity of the sacrament of the Eucharist in the Catholic Church.

Q: I know that a Hollywood celebrity stating publicly that he will not take a vaccine is committing career suicide.

A: Hollywood is linked very powerfully to the medical cartel. There are several reasons, but one of them is simply that an actor who is famous can draw a huge amount of publicity if he says ANYTHING. In 1992, I was present at your demonstration against the FDA in downtown Los Angeles. One or two actors spoke against the FDA. Since that time, you would be hard pressed to find an actor who has spoken out in any way against the medical cartel.

Q: Within the National Institutes of Health, what is the mood, what is the basic frame of mind?

A: People are competing for research monies. The last thing they think about is challenging the status quo. They are already in an intramural war for that money. They don't need more trouble. This is a very insulated system. It depends on the idea that, by and large, modern medicine is very successful on every frontier. To admit systemic problems in any area is to cast doubt on the whole enterprise. You might therefore think that NIH is the last place one should think about holding demonstrations. But just the reverse is true. If five thousand people showed up there demanding an accounting of the actual benefits of that research system, demanding to know what real health benefits have been conferred on the public from the billions of wasted dollars funneled to that facility, something might start. A spark might go off. You might get, with further demonstrations, all sorts of fall-out. Researchers -- a few -- might start leaking information.

Q: A good idea.

A: People in suits standing as close to the buildings as the police will allow. People in business suits, in jogging suits, mothers and babies. Well-off people. Poor people. All sorts of people.

Q: What about the combined destructive power of a number of vaccines given to babies these days?

A: It is a travesty and a crime. There are no real studies of any depth which have been done on that. Again, the assumption is made that vaccines are safe, and therefore any number of vaccines given together are safe as well. But the truth is, vaccines are not safe. Therefore the potential damage increases when you give many of them in a short time period.

Q: Then we have the fall flu season.

A: Yes. As if only in the autumn do these germs float in to the US from Asia. The public swallows that premise. If it happens in April, it is a bad cold. If it happens in October, it is the flu.

Q: Do you regret having worked all those years in the vaccine field?

A: Yes. But after this interview, I'll regret it a little less. And I work in other ways. I give out information to certain people, when I think they will use it well.

Q: What is one thing you want the public to understand?

A: That the burden of proof in establishing the safety and efficacy of vaccines is on the people who manufacture and license them for public use. Just that. The burden of proof is not on you or me. And for proof you need well-designed long-term studies. You need extensive follow-up. You need to interview mothers and pay attention to what mothers say about their babies and what happens to them after vaccination. You need all these things. The things that are not there.

Q: The things that are not there.

A: Yes.

Q: To avoid any confusion, I'd like you to review, once more, the disease problems that vaccines can cause. Which diseases, how that happens.

A: We are basically talking about two potential harmful outcomes. One, the person gets the disease from the vaccine. He gets the disease which the vaccine is supposed to protect him from. Because, some version of the disease is in the vaccine to begin with. Or two, he doesn't get THAT disease, but at some later time, maybe right away, maybe not, he develops another condition which is caused by the vaccine. That condition could be autism, what's called autism, or it could be some other disease like meningitis. He could become mentally disabled.

Q: Is there any way to compare the relative frequency of these different outcomes?

A: No. Because the follow-up is poor. We can only guess. If you ask, out of a population of a hundred thousand children who get a measles vaccine, how many get the measles, and how many develop other problems from the vaccine, there is a no reliable answer. That is what I'm saying. Vaccines are superstitions. And with superstitions, you don't get facts you can use. You only get stories, most of which are designed to enforce the superstition. But, from many vaccine campaigns, we can piece together a narrative that does reveal some very disturbing things. People have been harmed. The harm is real, and it can be deep and it can mean death. The harm is NOT limited to a few cases, as we have been led to believe. In the US, there are groups of mothers who are testifying about autism and childhood vaccines. They are coming forward and standing up at meetings. They are essentially trying to fill in the gap that has been created by the researchers and doctors who turn their backs on the whole thing.

Q: Let me ask you this. If you took a child in, say, Boston and you raised that child with good nutritious food and he exercised every day and he was loved by his parents, and he didn't get the measles vaccine, what would be his health status compared with the average child in Boston who eats poorly and watches five hours of TV a day and gets the measles vaccine?

A: Of course there are many factors involved, but I would bet on the better health status for the first child. If he gets measles, if he gets it when he is nine, the chances are it will be much lighter than the measles the second child might get. I would bet on the first child every time.

Q: How long did you work with vaccines?

A: A long time. Longer than ten years.

Q: Looking back now, can you recall any good reason to say that vaccines are successful?

A: No, I can't. If I had a child now, the last thing I would allow is vaccination. I would move out of the state if I had to. I would change the family name. I would disappear. With my family. I'm not saying it would come to that. There are ways to sidestep the system with grace, if you know how to act. There are exemptions you can declare, in every state, based on religious and/or philosophic views. But if push came to shove, I would go on the move.

Q: And yet there are children everywhere who do get vaccines and appear to be healthy.

A: The operative word is "appear." What about all the children who can't focus on their studies? What about the children who have tantrums from time to time? What about the children who are not quite in possession of all their mental faculties? I know there are many causes for these things, but vaccines are one cause. I would not take the chance. I see no reason to take the chance. And frankly, I see no reason to allow the government to have the last word. Government medicine is, from my experience, often a contradiction in terms. You get one or the other, but not both.

Q: So we come to the level playing field.

A: Yes. Allow those who want the vaccines to take them. Allow the dissidents to decline to take them. But, as I said earlier, there is no level playing field if the field is strewn with lies. And when babies are involved, you have parents making all the decisions. Those parents need a heavy dose of truth. What about the child I spoke of who died from the DPT shot? What information did his parents act on? I can tell you it was heavily weighted. It was not real information.

Q: Medical PR people, in concert with the press, scare the hell out of parents with dire scenarios about what will happen if their kids don't get shots.

A: They make it seem a crime to refuse the vaccine. They equate it with bad parenting. You fight that with better information. It is always a challenge to buck the authorities. And only you can decide whether to do it. It is every person's responsibility to make up his mind. The medical cartel likes that bet. It is betting that the fear will win.

If you would subject your own child to this, that's an evil that you can deal with, but don't expect all others to do the same.

And talk of arresting parents for not vaccinating their children is the level of Police State control that is beyond starting the slippery slope toward loss of all human rights, its damn near the most oppressive depths of said slope.
 
I'll read through that thoroughly later, but two things immediately stand out as red flags for me here:

1. Anything labeled "alternative medicine", or in this case "alternative doctor" is already suspect, and usually a code name for anti-vaxxer propaganda.

2. Speak of code speak, just reading through the first 8-10 questions, I already see a world of it developing. More of that tinfoil hat territory stuff you're best off ignoring.

But like I said, I'll give it a much more thorough read-over later, after the Rangers game.

As to the idea of arguing for a Police State, that's sensationalist nonsense.

If you are arguing for personal freedoms, you need to understand that as a society, there are a number of freedoms you do not have. A free society is not a society free of rules. Contrary to what you may think. If you are arguing in favor of anti-vax policies, you are arguing for a "freedom" that immediately jeopardizes other people's well-being and your own. Or should we just go ahead and remove speed limits from U.S. roads, since that infringes on your right to go as fast as you want? Or maybe we should allow you to smoke anywhere you like, even though the overwhelming evidence about it, and second-hand smoke, prove it causes cancer. But that's your right to smoke, right, so fuck it, it's OK for you to light up in your local nursery because you can?

Again, if you want to make decision that harm you, by all means. Pull the trigger. Just don't expect me to sit by idly when your decision harms others. For example, you wanna kill yourself? Cut your wrists in the bathtub. Don't jump out of a building in Manhattan where you can kill innocent people walking beneath you.
 
Yeah, so that guy is a fuckin' crack pot.

He left the medical community and has been on his own since the 90's, and then of course, there's this glob of dead-wrong bullshit:

Why All the Established Science Theories Are Wrong

All the “science theories” are falling apart, as I keep saying. The Big Bang is dead; Darwinian evolution is dead; genetics (as described) is dead; comfortable reality is falling apart, under the onslaught of quantum physics; free energy would mean the famous “laws” of thermodynamics are falling apart.

Lately I’ve been saying that the notion of gravity is falling apart. In fact physics is falling apart, for one simple reason: it’s wrong!

They get an idea and then try to make the evidence fit the facts. Gravity, which is a very weak force, is supposed to hold our entire universe together. Yet one simple observation, which is that the Sun’s gravity “alters” measurably during an eclipse, means the whole theory of gravity, as described and accepted today, is wrong!

Yet scientists ignore a far simpler and more probable explanation for what holds the universe together: electromagnetic forces.

He's clearly an anti-vaxxer propagandist/proponent. One of these "alternative medicine" idiots who is fueling this kind of Measels outbreak by spreading misinformation, or clearly wrong information with the intent of muddying the waters.
 
Okay, but that's irrelevant. You can question the site who chose to post the interview and the guy who runs it if you like- he is neither the man asking the questions or the one answering them in the interview included.
 
It's not irrelevant. Believing false things increases the likelihood of believing other false things. This is the reason so many evolution-deniers are also climate change deniers, and in a lot of circles, anti-vaxxers. They almost always share a common link where they inexplicably accept beliefs that are either factually wrong, or unsubstantiated, where they claim otherwise, despite not being able to demonstrate what they claim to be true.

This guy is clearly an anti-vax proponant/propagandist. Believing what he says on this matter requires that you accept that organizations like the CDC, the WHO, etc. are all part of some global conspiracy, and that they regularly partake in "silencing" voices that speak out against their version of the truth.

There's a reason you can find dozens and dozens of factually supported, peer reviewed studies and papers on why vaccination is safe and beneficial, and conversely why articles supporting Wakefield's original findings to be legitimage often means digging through piles of rubble — because that's exactly where his findings belong. He's a fraud, and lost his fucking medical license years ago, yet continues to parade around espousing nonsense. Why would you listen to a god damned word he has to say? Imagine a scenario where a man works for a finance company. Imagine he's fired for incompetence, fraud and wilful negligence over his accounts. Now imagine trusting whatever he has to say about finance after the fact, or about the company that fired him over the findings of the IRS employee who performed an audit on the company after his departure. Who are you going to believe, the fucking wacko standing outside with the cardboard sign that reads "THE IRS IS READING YOUR TEXT MESSAGES!" or the guy who actually conducted an experiment who has demonstrable evidence and data to support any declarations he then determines because of these findings?

You can literally apply this exact same scenario to any number of issues that Americans, largely, for some insane reason, seem to reject in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and support, including, but not limited to evolution and climate change.
 
However, you are not correct in saying that there is zero reason not to get your children vaccinated. That's not entirely correct, that is. There are some cases where you can't — severe allergic reactions, leukemia treatments, etc. all would prevent you from being able to do so. To be more specific, there's zero reason for most parents to not vaccinate their children.
Thats why other people should get vaccinated, because herd imunity protects those who cant be vaccinated. But antivaxers are too stupid, have zero fate in science and no real knowledge in science to understand anything, let alone that. I mean, they dont even believe that vaccines work and are efficiant prevention, let alone in stuff like herd immunity. Any proof you are presenting to them is "payed by Big Pharma" and just they know "the real truth". :lmao:

Read one good theory on it that got me thinking, and that is that antivaxers are payed by "Big Pharma". I mean, there is more money in curing the deasease the preventing it. They are making more money to pharmaceutical companies by advocating against vaccination then by just doing nothing. And then, there is other side of bussiness, selling alternative crap that they assure you that is cure. I mean, there is nothing better to cure autism then MMS. :banghead:

You dont believe in vaccination, yet you believe that Domestos(bleach) is gona cure your kid. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
I read through most of that interview and finally gave up.

A key red flag that you are dealing with a nut. He argues that the Hepatitis B vaccine doesn't work and that the reason people think it works is because doctors just diagnose Hep B as some other liver disease, either to intentionally mask the fact that vaccines don't work OR out of some sort of incompetence where they assume it can't be Hep B because the patient was vaccinated so they just decide it has to be something else.

What a total garbage theory. The problem with quack conspiracy theories is that they create an impenetrable reinforcing loop. Everything they hear reinforces the theory and anything that would disprove the theory is just part of the machine of lies that only the sheep fall for.
 
My favorite part of that waffle was that Cherie Blair supports what he says but has been stifled on giving a truthful response... why? Because being the wife of a former Prime Minister would make her an expert. :lmao:

Here's something that this guy hasn't mentioned (or been questioned about), the National Health Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Health_Service_%28England%29) is free in the United Kingdom as are medications and *gasp* vaccines.

This is the official NHS site advising about the two most used vaccines in the UK: MMR Vaccine
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/pages/mmr-vaccine.aspx

And the Flu Vaccine (or Flu Jab)
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/pages/flu-influenza-vaccine.aspx

At the level she occupies, MI6 and British health authorities get into the act. It is thought of as a matter of national security.

:lmao: Seriously? The British government WANTS to pay massive amounts to pharmaceutical companies for vaccines that not only don't cure you but are worse for you potentially than the diseases themselves... yeah, that must be why the exact same British government keeps trying to cut the NHS budget!!!

I'm definitely with IDR here, I think parents who'd subject their children to harm against the advise of those who are there to keep us healthy are right up there with these idiots...

When I read the terms "alternative medicine" and "alternative doctor", I immediately became suspicious of the integrity and legitimacy of this interview.

I'm all for personal liberties, I believe the government has its hand stuck too far up our asses to begin with, but there are exceptions to every rule. If your personal liberties can have a dangerous impact on the lives of other people, then the greater good has to be considered. I can't remember all the details exactly but, several years back, there was a case involving a man with Tuberculosis flying on an airplane, he knew he had the disease but he refused to take medication for it. As a result, he put the lives of just about everyone around him at risk and, if I'm not mistaken, he was quarantined and medications were forcefully administered to him.

If you want to isolate yourself in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere without vaccinations, more power to you. However, the moment you step out into the world and interact with other people, whether you personally want to agree with it or not, you're taking some measure of responsibility for anyone you come into contact with. Some scream that their rights are infringed upon but, at the same time, what about the rights of those you're potentially putting at risk. Why is your personal choice so much better than the health and possible lives of dozens, maybe even hundreds of other people?

When sickness puts the lives of others at risk, I'm of the opinion that the law should step in. There's a man housed in the facility I work that's violently schizophrenic, but is perfectly lucid when he takes his medication. However, he doesn't want to take his medication and during one of his episodes, he wound up nearly caving in the head of a woman with a brick because he thought she was a demon come to eat his soul. I'm not saying all schizophrenics are violent, most aren't, but how can you tell those who are from those who aren't? Wait until they try to take your eye out with a pencil that they believe to be the Spear of Longinus? I get that people are entitled to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness but, in my opinion, my right to continue living as safe & secure as I can outweighs someone else's right to be dangerously crazy.
 
Bingo, JH.

There's an old saying that goes "your right to extend your fist ends where my nose begins".

You want to be a hermit and live off in Siberia, miles from civilization and never interact with other human beings? By all means, enjoy your "freedom". But if you want to live in a society, you forfeit some of them for the greater good of the Nation. This is why we have seat belt laws, public smoking laws, etc. Vaccinations are right there with them, IMO.

About 10 years ago, Kentucky had a Republican governor named Ernie Fletcher. A law came before him making it mandatory to wear a seat belt whenever your car is in gear. Fletcher signed it into law without much of a second though. Something like the Tea Party around here said it was a violation of their freedom and they shouldn't be forced to do something in their own cars. Fletcher said that it was his responsibility to keep the citizens of Kentucky as safe as he could, and that trumps the right to do something stupid like ride around without a seat belt on, which is something as simple as basic safety.

This comes off as the same thing. At the end of the day, knowingly carrying infectious diseases onto planes, schools and public in general is something that should not be allowed due to someone's freedoms. Freedom advocates claim that they should be free to do anything they want, but a society simply isn't going to work that way. If you have everyone doing whatever you want, any form of civilization is going to collapse in about a day. I mean, are you free to go steal something out of a store or shoot someone dead? If you believe you're free to spread diseases to whomever you come in contact with because you don't want to have a shot, you already don't seem to mind making people sick for the sake of your own freedom, so why not just kill them next? It's your freedom to do so right?
 
Correct. Like I said, your right to extend your fist ends where my nose begins. We, as a society, grant everyone certain freedoms. Freedoms with limitations. You can shoot a gun. You cannot shoot a gun at another human being without cause. You can drive a car. You cannot drive a car 90mph in a zone with a 30mph speed limit. You can smoke cigarettes. You cannot smoke cigarettes inside of a day-care center. The list goes on and on.

We ought to be as free as our actions or inactions don't negatively impact others. That includes, especially, physical harm. And so too with vaccinations. As it is, anti-vaxxers vastly benefit from those who do vaccinate because 95% of the population being immune to communicable diseases makes those disease rare. If everyone stopped vaccinating, these diseases would be rampant again. We'd be dying off in droves.

Fighting for freedom is fine. Fighting for the freedom to immediately jeopardize the well-being of others is not.
 
Just seen this on Facebook and thought that it sums it up pretty well...

Alternative medicine should call itself alternative to medicine.

I'd just like to draw everyone's attention to this classic:

Pandemics in modern society are fabricated and vaccinations are a major vehicle of the population reduction agenda.

When Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine, the population of the earth was less than a billion. Now its 7 billion.

If vaccines were a vehicle for 'fabricated pandemics' why are the only diseases that have pandemics the ones without vaccines.

The thing is, with most conspiracy theories it's not my problem if you're stupid enough to believe it. I don't care if people think the moon landing was a hoax, that's their prerogative, but this is far worse than that. There are a number of people who can't have certain vaccines for whatever reason, these people are at risk of death because of selfish idiots. The first disease to have a vaccination was smallpox. It is now completely eradicated. Polio would be eradicated if it wasn't for the medical nous and expertise of groups like the Taliban that shoot aid workers giving it out.
