Mike Barrett - New Bill to Mandate Flu Vaccine for New Jersey Health Care Workers

Thanks to a new bill currently going through New Jersey legislature, employees working at health care facilities such as general or special hospitals, nursing homes, or home health care agencies may be ‘mandatorily’ required to receive the flu vaccine. The bill, recently approved by the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee, may be voted on this week.

New Bill to Mandate Flu Vaccine for New Jersey Health Care Workers

Needless to say, this bill is not the first to call for mandatory flu vaccines. Previously, a federal advisory committee has called on hospitals and healthcare clinics to make the seasonal flu shot mandatory for all employees. What the advisory committee fails to mention is that there is a shocking lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of the flu vaccine — especially regarding certain healthcare workers in particular. The Cochrane Database Review, the gold standard within the evidence-based medical model for deciding the potency of common medical interventions, does not lend clear scientific support to the theory that flu vaccines are safe or effective.

Deborah Kotz - Vaccine effectiveness reduced by common environmental toxin, Harvard study finds 

Vaccines, we’re told, aren’t 100 percent effective. That’s why some of us come down with the flu after getting a flu shot. Sometimes, our immune system doesn’t mount a strong enough response to an immunization, so defenses are down when a pathogen invades.

Now a new Harvard School of Public Health study suggests this may sometimes be due to exposure to certain environmental toxins. The researchers measured levels of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) -- found in food packaging, stain-resistant carpets, and nonstick pans -- in nearly 600 children who lived in the Faroe Islands in the Norwegian Sea and found that those who had the highest levels of PFCs had a 50 percent lower reaction to tetanus and diphtheria vaccines, according to the study published in yesterday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

Norma Erickson & Leslie Carol Botha - Medical journal openly questions science, ethics of HPV vaccinations

On January 12, 2011 the Annals of Medicine published a ground-breaking peer-reviewed paper titled, Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine policy and evidence-based medicine: Are they at odds?, 1written by renowned researchers Lucija Tomljenovic, Ph.D.,and Christopher Shaw, Ph.D., with the Neural Dynamics research Group, University of British Columbia, in Vancouver. 2.

The article points out to the medical community what most consumers now know about the fraudulent global health agency policies in combination with the pharmaceutical companies lack of science based evidence demonstrating the safety and efficacy of Gardasil and Cervarix before they were unleashed on unsuspecting parents of adolescents.

Clinical Trials on Healthy People vs. Mass Vaccination Campaigns

Tomljenovic and Shaw clearly state the obvious in their abstract by stating that vaccines represent 'a special category of drugs generally given to healthy individuals and therefore a small level of risk for adverse reactions is acceptable.'

Gary Null, Ph.D., and Nancy Ashley, VMD - GARDASIL: CHILD ABUSE BY BIG PHARMA

By Gary Null, PhD and Nancy Ashley, VMD

January 9, 2012

In 1987, I was asked to debate a group of 6 scientists about the very promising AIDS drug, AZT.  Signs around NYU Medical School exhorted everyone to “Put Time on Your Side”, and the vast majority of activists, including ACT UP, were pushing the government to allocate all available funds to get this drug into as many people as possible who had been diagnosed with AIDS.  I was the only one who was dissenting and there was a simple reason:  I had spoken with John Lauritsen.

Lauritsen, an investigative journalist who wrote for the New York Native in the 1980s and 1990s, knew that AZT was a fraud.  Originally a chemotherapy drug that was rejected due to excessive toxicity, AZT was resurrected for use as an AIDS treatment and fast tracked by the FDA for approval in just six months.  Lauritsen looked closely at the one single study used as a basis for this approval, and found:  “the description of methodology was incomplete and incoherent.  Not a single table was acceptable according to statistical standards – indeed, not a single table made sense.  In particular, the first report, on “efficacy” was marred by contradictions, ill-logic, and special pleading.”  Lauritsen discovered that this poor-quality study was unblinded early, allowing both doctors and patients to know whether AZT or the placebo was being taken, thus completely invalidating the study.  Then the study itself was terminated early, ostensibly so that all participants would be able to take AZT, which appeared so effective at preventing death from AIDS.  The real-life follow up, however, at no time repeated the stunning results of this mangled study.  Instead, according to Lauritsen, “More than 96% of all “AIDS” deaths in the U.S. occurred after AZT was approved for marketing in 1987. Those deaths were not caused by a virus, but by AZT. “

Leslie Carol Botha - Contaminated Gardasil Vaccine May Be Infectious -Potentially Causing Millions More to Become Sick via Blood Transference

November 11, 2011
By Leslie Carol Botha, Vice-President Public Relations

Gardasil Contaminated with HPV rDNA

In September of this year, SANE Vax Inc. broke the news that 100% of the Gardasil vials tested proved to be contaminated with a recombinant HPV DNA attached to aluminum.  The nonprofit organization contracted with a private lab to run the tests at request of informed physician and medical consumers concerned about HPV vaccine safety and efficacy.  The laboratory informed SANE Vax Inc. that one hundred percent of the thirteen (13) samples of Gardasil™ taken from lots  #1437Z, #1511Z, #0553AA, #NL35360, #NP23400, #NN33070, #NL01490, #NM25110, #NL39620, #NK16180, #NK00140, #NM08120 and #NL13560, currently being  marketed in the U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, and Poland were found to be positive for HPV rDNA.

In the past month global government health agencies went from demanding that vaccine contamination be investigated – to accepting a universal statement possibly written by Merck – that the agencies were well aware that the ‘presence of DNA fragments was to be expected and did not pose a safety risk. 1.  And life went on as usual.

On October 25, 2011, an advisory panel to the CDC, who actually receives a ‘kick-back’ on Gardasil sales recommended that the vaccine be administered to boys ages 9 to 26 – creating a whole new market for sales and profits.  The recommendation, which falls short of a mandate, means Merck’s Gardasil vaccine could be added to vaccination schedules in pediatricians’ offices across the country.2

Meanwhile – a well-known doctor from Peru, concerned about the safety and efficacy of Gardasil, was scheduled to debate a doctor from Merck at a conference.  Just prior to the scheduled debate, the conference moderator told the audience that the doctor from Merck was in a hurry so he could not stay for the debate regarding the vaccine and instead he would be the first one to address the conferees.

Norma Erickson - Post Cervarix Syndrome Victim: Brianna, NewportPagnell, Buckinghamshire UK

December 15, 2011
By Norma Erickson, President SANE Vax Inc
.

Story as told by Brianna’s mum, Laura

Brianna is just 13 years old. A girl who was in the top sets at school, represented the school in athletics and has been a dancer since she was the age of 2, performing at London’s famous Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the Royal Albert Hall. In more recent years, she developed a love of drama and wants to be an actress when she is older. She is a popular girl, whom people always describe, as being very mature, fun loving and kind.

This was her life until Wednesday, October 19th 2011, exactly 3 weeks after having her first Cervarix vaccine jab at school on Wednesday 28 September. That day, she came home from school complaining of feeling very unwell, nausea being the main symptom.  I kept her off school the next day, but on Friday being as it was the last day of term I sent her back. Later in the day, I received a phone call from the Matron saying she had a temperature and was feeling unwell, so could I collect her.

Initially I thought it was maybe connected to her period as she had this the same day. However, by the following Monday she was still feeling the same, nauseous, hot and cold and now also very faint. I called and spoke to our GP, who also thought the symptoms were connected to her period and prescribed some tablets to help with pain and nausea (she did not have any pain).

Insidevaccines.com - How to find information: A Step-By-Step Demonstration

http://insidevaccines.com/wordpress/how-to-find-information-a-step-by-step-demonstration/

Suppose you want to find out what kinds of kids are included in vaccine clinical trials evaluating vaccine safety and effectiveness.  Is it an accurate representation of the population of kids that will be receiving the vaccines? What was used as the placebo?

One option for finding this information is going over to clinicaltrials.gov and using their search function.  If you were wondering about Prevnar, you’d want to use the search words:

pneumococcal conjugate vaccine safety

That search takes you here. The second study down is this one, an evaluation of the “new” (13 valent)Prevnar that will soon be released, where you can see that the “placebo” is the “original Prevnar”, and the “inclusion and exclusion criteria” for the study are described as:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy 2-month-old infants.
  • Available for the entire study period.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Previous vaccination with any vaccine before the start of the study.

Eurekalert.org - Trumpeting vaccination may only entrench opposition

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-05/uot-tvm051805.php

Extolling the safety and benefits of childhood vaccinations may only serve to strengthen and entrench the positions of those philosophically opposed to them, says new research led by University of Toronto scientists. 

"Changing attitudes about pediatric vaccination can be challenging," says Dr. Kumanan Wilson, professor of medicine and health policy, management and evaluation at U of T, internal medicine physician at Toronto General Hospital, University Health Network, and lead author of the research. "Some parents have strongly held beliefs about the safety and benefits of vaccines and any attempts to try to change their minds may only strengthen their anti-vaccine sentiments." 

Wilson and his colleagues from U of T and McMaster University sought to test the attitudes of people known to have views not supportive of vaccination. They randomly divided 97 participants into two study groups. One group received an evidence-based lecture on the benefits of polio vaccine while the other received a talk by a polio survivor. Participants completed surveys about their attitudes to vaccines before and after the presentations. "Before" surveys confirmed the researchers' initial hypothesis – these participants were generally non-supportive of vaccines with only nine per cent saying they would recommend the polio vaccine and six per cent saying they would recommend the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine. 

However, analysis of the "after" surveys revealed surprising results – some respondents reported being even more opposed to vaccination. After seeing the presentations, 25 per cent reported being less likely to recommend the polio vaccine and 38 per cent were less likely to think polio was a serious problem. 

"For some parents, concerns about vaccines are deeply held and physicians need to be aware of these findings when confronting parents who are strongly opposed to vaccination," warns Wilson. "Prolonged discussions may be counterproductive and could in fact damage the physician-patient relationship." The study appeared the April issue of Vaccine.

Wendy Michaels - The Churches and the Unholy Patent

Salem-News.com

Wendy Michaels for Salem-News.com

http://salem-news.com/articles/december112011/unholy-patent-wm.php

The US government and those behind the flu vaccines seek to create an aura of religious blessing to their intentionally destructive vaccines.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The federal government (CDC and HHS) wants to go into churches, temples, synagogues and mosques to give vaccines.

There is a constitutional requirement for the separation of church and state in the US. It's there because the founding fathers, having seen the harm it caused in Europe, did not want the church to become a ruling force here.

But we are looking at he state overwhelming the church. Those behind this move (and it is most definitely commercial forces wishing to sell vaccines) seem to believe that they can use "health" to override the Constitution, and to trump the church (temple, mosque) and spirituality itself. They have worked hard to raise medicine to the level of a religion and are attempting to equate their filthy product with religious practice and with goodness and benevolence.

Jeffry John Aufderheide - Congressional Shenanigans: Vaccine Teams Coming To Your Home And Vaccinating Your Child?

Jeffry John Aufderheide | December 8th, 2011

http://vactruth.com/2011/12/08/vaccine-teams-vaccinate-your-child/

Just imagine this: Health officials coming to your house and force-vaccinating your children.

It seems a bit outrageous initially. But, put into context, that is small potatoes compared with the U.S. Congress recently passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

I’ll show you later on in this article how public health and school officials will probably make up the bulk of these ‘Task Forces’. If you want to know more and what you can do about it, please read on.

Before I explain the law, you should have an example, I think.

You may recall recently that school officials in Natomas, California, were going door-to-door searching for unvaccinated children. http://www.news10.net/news/local/article/156068/2/Natomas-school-officials-go-door-to-door-to-find-unvaccinated-students

School officials attempted to vaccinate children (mostly home-schooled children) with a whooping cough vaccine.  Parents were infuriated and used some salty language when slamming doors in officials’ faces.

PF Louis - Exposing the hidden epidemic of crippling, painful neurological adverse effects of antibiotics 

by PF Louis, NaturalNews.com

http://www.naturalnews.com/034384_antibiotics_neurological_effects_toxicity.html

(NaturalNews) The adverse reactions from a certain specific class of antibiotics resemble the crippling adverse reactions of the vaccine injured. But there is much less notoriety among these agonized and debilitated victims of the Medical Mafia, except for one PBS Nightly News special from June 16th, 2011. (PBS, source below)

Most antibiotic victims are adults with no one to look after them. Unlike unfortunate autistic or paralyzed vaccine injured kids who have parents dedicated to taking care of them. Thanks to social networking and internet forums, these victims have some support.

Unfortunately, most of them are locked into the Medical Mafia system of harmful drugs and brain washed medicine. Their complaints are often disregarded as delusional, or they're misdiagnosed for rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or MS. And that's because their symptoms are similar, and worse. They often suffer from the constant pain of extreme neuropathy.

Very few adverse event reports make it to the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS). It's estimated by even the FDA that less than ten percent of actual adverse events make it into this system. It's not advertised to patients as the complaint department of choice, and doctors tend be averse to reporting adverse events from drugs they've prescribed.

Christina England - Three Vaccine Myths That Will Make Your Head Explode

Vaccines are promoted as a 'cure all' solution to disease.

A fully vaccinated child should be one of the healthiest children in the world; however, statistics show that children are unhealthier now than ever before. Despite having as many as 68 mandated vaccines from birth to eighteen, American children are far from healthy according to statistics.

Let us examine several reports in more detail weighing up the differences between the myths and the media reports.

Gary Null, PhD and Nancy Ashley, VMD, MS - FLU VACCINE: THE COVERUP – THE FRAUD

By Gary Null, PhD and Nancy Ashley, VMD, MS 

The CDC is just beginning its annual Influenza Vaccination Week which runs from December 4th through the 10th.1 There will be a media onslaught as they try to persuade us that the end is near if we don’t get the flu vaccine. All of the regulatory bodies and the opinion leaders, the CDC, the FDA, the Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics and all the health care providers would have us believe that flu is a serious illness that can only be prevented by annual vaccination of everyone from 6 months of age on up. They try to instill us with fear: flu is unpredictable, it can be severe, it can kill -- and there might not be enough vaccine for everyone! What if there is a pandemic? Should we be worried? Should we get the vaccine to protect our friends and loved ones? Maybe not. Let’s take a look at some of the facts the CDC would rather you didn’t know.

Is It Really Dangerous Not to Get the Flu Vaccine?

The CDC’s website used to state that 36,000 Americans die of flu each year, but this number was never accurate. First, the CDC inflated the numbers by lumping together deaths from flu and pneumonia as though they were all from flu when actually, the annual deaths from pneumonia unrelated to flu have always been far greater than those from flu. More significantly, this number was never based in actual deaths. It comes instead from a statistical model which only estimates mortality but doesn’t actually count the numbers of deaths.2 This year, however, the CDC’s website reflects the criticism they have received about this overstatement. In an impressive downward revision, the CDC now states that “over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.”3 Quite a difference! For 2007, the CDC’s own statistics show that the number of deaths actually caused by influenza was just 411, and the death rate was therefore only 0.1 out of 100,000 people.4

S. Edmonson - ALL the Vaccines Are Contaminated - Every Last One of Them

Nov-29-2011

S. Edmonson for Salem-News.com

http://salem-news.com/articles/november292011/vaccines-contaminated-se.php

"The chief, if not the sole, cause of the monstrous increase in cancer has been vaccination" - Dr. Robert Bell, once Vice President International Society for Cancer Research at the British Cancer Hospital

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Have you been rushing out to get a yearly flu vaccine or diligently taking your children for the 40 or so mandated childhood vaccines?

That's really a shame because you have unwittingly been trading a run-of-the-mill flu or just the measles, for loading up your or your children's bodies with cancer and other deadly viruses, a destructive bacteria, a chemical selected to damage fertility, and with synthetic DNA that threatens to damage your own DNA - the biologic code for your existence.

Who is saying the vaccines are contaminated?

Mike Stobbe - AP IMPACT: More kids skip school shots in 8 states

By Mike Stobbe

Boston Globe,  Medical Writer / November 28, 2011

http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2011/11/28/ap_impact_more_kids_skip_school_shots_in_8_states_1322490562/

ATLANTA—More parents are opting out of school shots for their kids. In eight states now, more than 1 in 20 public school kindergartners aren't getting all the vaccines required for attendance, an Associated Press analysis found.

That growing trend among parents seeking vaccine exemptions has health officials worried about outbreaks of diseases that once were all but stamped out.

The AP analysis found more than half of states have seen at least a slight rise in the rate of exemptions over the past five years. States with the highest exemption rates are in the West and Upper Midwest.

It's "really gotten much worse," said Mary Selecky, secretary of health for Washington state, where 6 percent of public school parents have opted out.

Rules for exemptions vary by state and can include medical, religious or -- in some states -- philosophical reasons.

Gary Null, PhD and Nancy Ashley, VMD, MS - DEADLY INJECTION: THE HIDDEN INGREDIENTS IN VACCINES

DEADLY INJECTION:  THE HIDDEN INGREDIENTS IN VACCINES

By Gary Null, PhD and Nancy Ashley, VMD, MS

For more than 100 years, Americans have lined up to take their vaccines.   We have never questioned the safety and efficacy of these vaccines, and why should we?  Vaccines are backed by the full faith and confidence of the entire scientific community, including the FDA, the CDC, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, and virtually all of the esteemed medical journals, including the British Medical Journal, the Lancet, and the Journal of the American Medical Association, have given their unconditional support to vaccines. Therefore, in fact, if any physician, scientist, journalist, or health activist ever challenges either the safety or efficacy of vaccines, they are immediately assaulted.  The normal arguments are:
  1. There are dozens of gold standard studies proving beyond a shadow of a doubt the safety and efficacy of every vaccine and every combination of vaccines.
  2. There is an independent group of scientists at the FDA and the CDC that examines the childhood vaccine schedule to make sure it is appropriate.
  3. There is no scientific proof that vaccines are dangerous.
  4. On rare occasions, when someone does have an adverse reaction, it in no way affects the safety and efficacy for anyone else.
  5. Virtually all major scourges -- polio, smallpox, and measles -- were eliminated by our vaccine program.

Well, I’m persuaded.  But there is one little point – what if there is evidence that can prove that vaccines are neither safe nor effective for a given individual?  For example, let’s examine the ingredients.  Analyzing the data from the finest peer-reviewed studies, are the ingredients non-toxic, non-allergic, non-stressing to the body’s immune system?
Oops!  It seems we have a problem, Scotty.

Alliance for Natural Health - Durbin and Waxman Strike Again!

Alliance for Natural Health  November 22, 2011

http://www.anh-usa.org/durbin-and-waxman-strike-again/

Their latest move targets supplements while giving drugs and vaccines a free pass. New Action Alert! [1]

Senator Dick Durbin and Congressman Henry Waxman are trying a new tactic in their attack on supplements after previous legislative failures [2]. They have asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review adverse event report data—but only for supplements. The GAO operates at the call of Congress, so some action on this request is inevitable. Here is their letter [3].

In a statement, Sen. Durbin said, “The FDA has the tools necessary to determine which supplements can cause and have caused severe health problems—they should use them effectively.”
