Those who are
observant have noticed a dangerous trend in the United States, as
well as worldwide, and that is the resorting of various governments
at different levels to mandating forced vaccination upon the public
at large. My State of Mississippi has one of the most-restrictive
vaccine-exemption laws in the United States, where exemptions are
allowed only upon medical recommendation. Ironically, this is only
on paper, as many have had as many as three physicians, some experts
in neurological damage caused by vaccines, provide written calls for
exemption, only to be turned down by the State’s public-health
officer.
Worse are the States, such as Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Maryland, where forced vaccinations have either been mandated by the
courts, the state legislature, or have such legislation pending. All
of such policies strongly resemble those policies found in National
Socialist empires, Stalinist countries, or Communist China.
When public-health officers are asked for the legal justification
for such draconian measures as forcing people to accept vaccines
that they deem either a clear and present danger to themselves and
their loved ones or have had personal experience with serious
adverse reactions to such vaccines, they usually resort to the need
to protect the public.
One quickly concludes that if the vaccines are as effective as being
touted by the public-health officials, then why should one fear the
unvaccinated? Obviously the vaccinated would have at least 95%
protection. This question puts them in a very difficult position.
Their usual response is that a “small” percentage of the vaccinated
will not have sufficient protection and would still be at risk. Now,
if they admit what the literature shows, that vaccine failure rates
are much higher than the 5% they claim, they must face the next
obvious question – then why should anyone take the vaccine if there
is a significant chance it will not protect?
When pressed further, they then resort to their favorite
justification, the Holy Grail of the vaccine proponents – herd
immunity. This concept is based upon the idea that 95% (and some now
say 100%) of the population must be vaccinated to prevent an
epidemic. The percentages needing vaccination grows progressively. I
pondered this question for some time before the answer hit me. Herd
immunity is mostly a myth and applies only to natural immunity –
that is, contracting the infection itself.
Is Herd Immunity Real?
In the original description of herd immunity, the protection to the
population at large occurred only if people contracted the
infections naturally. The reason for this is that naturally-acquired
immunity lasts for a lifetime. The vaccine proponents quickly
latched onto this concept and applied it to vaccine-induced
immunity. But, there was one major problem – vaccine-induced
immunity lasted for only a relatively short period, from 2 to 10
years at most, and then this applies only to humoral immunity. This
is why they began, silently, to suggest boosters for most vaccines,
even the common childhood infections such as chickenpox, measles,
mumps, and rubella.
Then they discovered an even greater problem, the boosters were
lasting for only 2 years or less. This is why we are now seeing
mandates that youth entering colleges have multiple vaccines, even
those which they insisted gave lifelong immunity, such as the MMR.
The same is being suggested for full-grown adults. Ironically, no
one in the media or medical field is asking what is going on. They
just accept that it must be done.
That vaccine-induced herd immunity is mostly myth can be proven
quite simply. When I was in medical school, we were taught that all
of the childhood vaccines lasted a lifetime. This thinking existed
for over 70 years. It was not until relatively recently that it was
discovered that most of these vaccines lost their effectiveness 2 to
10 years after being given. What this means is that at least half
the population, that is the baby boomers, have had no
vaccine-induced immunity against any of these diseases for which
they had been vaccinated very early in life. In essence, at least
50% or more of the population was unprotected for decades.
If we listen to present-day wisdom, we are all at risk of resurgent
massive epidemics should the vaccination rate fall below 95%. Yet,
we have all lived for at least 30 to 40 years with 50% or less of
the population having vaccine protection. That is, herd immunity has
not existed in this country for many decades and no resurgent
epidemics have occurred. Vaccine-induced herd immunity is a lie used
to frighten doctors, public-health officials, other medical
personnel, and the public into accepting vaccinations.
When we examine the scientific literature, we find that for many of
the vaccines protective immunity was 30 to 40%, meaning that 70% to
60% of the public has been without vaccine protection. Again, this
would mean that with a 30% to 40% vaccine-effectiveness rate
combined with the fact that most people lost their immune protection
within 2 to 10 year of being vaccinated, most of us were without the
magical 95% number needed for herd immunity. This is why vaccine
defenders insist the vaccines have 95% effectiveness rates.
Without the mantra of herd immunity, these public-health officials
would not be able to justify forced mass vaccinations. I usually
give the physicians who question my statement that herd immunity is
a myth a simple example. When I was a medical student almost 40
years ago, it was taught that the tetanus vaccine would last a
lifetime. Then 30 years after it had been mandated, we discovered
that its protection lasted no more than 10 years. Then, I ask my
doubting physician if he or she has ever seen a case of tetanus?
Most have not. I then tell them to look at the yearly data on
tetanus infections – one sees no rise in tetanus cases. The same can
be said for measles, mumps, and other childhood infections. It was,
and still is, all a myth.
The entire case for forced mass vaccination rest upon this myth and
it is important that we demonstrate the falsity of this idea. Neil
Z. Miller, in his latest book The Vaccine Information Manual,
provides compelling evidence that herd immunity is a myth.
The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions
Those pushing mandatory vaccination for an ever-growing list of
diseases are a mixed bag. Some are quite sincere and truly want to
improve the health of the United States. They believe the
vaccine-induced herd immunity myth and likewise believe that
vaccines are basically effective and safe. These are not the evil
people.
A growing number are made of those with a collectivist worldview and
see themselves as a core of elite wise men and women who should tell
the rest of us what we should do in all aspects of our lives. They
see us as ignorant cattle, who are unable to understand the virtues
of their plan for America and the World. Like children, we must be
made to take our medicine – since, in their view, we have no concept
of the true benefit of the bad-tasting medicine we are to be fed.
I have also found that a small number of people in the regulatory
agencies and public health departments would like to speak out but
are so intimidated and threatened with dismissal or destruction of
their careers, that they remain silent. As for the media, they are
absolutely clueless.
I have found that “reporters” (we have few real journalists these
days) rarely understand what they are reporting on and always trust
and rely upon people in positions of official power, even if those
people are unqualified to speak on the subject. Most of the time
they run to the Centers for Disease Control or medical university to
seek answers. I cannot count the number of times I have seen
university department heads interviewed when it was obvious they had
no clue as to the subject being discussed. Few such professors will
pass up an opportunity to appear on camera or be quoted in a
newspaper.
One must also appreciate that such reporters and editors are under
an enormous economic strain, as vaccine manufacturers are major
advertisers in all media outlets and for an obvious reason – it
controls content. A number of excellent stories on such medical
subjects are spiked every day. That means we will always be
relegated to the “fringe media” as our media outlets are called.
Despite the high quality of the journalism in many of the “fringe”
outlets, they have a much smaller audience. And despite this we are
having an enormous effect on the debate.
As the Public Awakens, the Collectivist Becomes Desperate
John Jewkes, in his book Ordeal by Planning, observed that as
the British collectivists began to see opposition rise to their
grandiose plans, they became more desperate and aggressive in their
reaction. They then initiated a campaign of smearing their opponents
and blaming every failure on the unwillingness of the people to
accept the planner’s dictates without question. We certainly have
seen this in this debate –opponents to forced vaccinations are
referred to as fringe scientists, kooks, uneducated, confused, and
enemies of public safety – reminiscent of Stalin’s favorite phrase,
“enemy of the people.”
This desperation is based upon their fear that the public might soon
catch on to the fact that the entire vaccine program is based upon
nonsense, fear, and concocted fairy tales. One special fear of
theirs is that the public might discover the fact that most vaccines
are contaminated with a number of known and yet-to-be discovered
viruses, bacteria, viral fragments, and DNA/RNA fragments. And,
further, that our science demonstrates that these contaminants could
lead to a number of slowly-developing degenerative diseases,
including degenerative diseases of the brain. This is rarely
discussed but is of major importance in this debate.
The idea that adults and their children would be forced to submit to
being injected with dozens of these organisms and organic fragments
is terrifying. No regulatory agency is tracking to see if chronic
diseases are rising in the vaccinated, yet we have compelling
evidence of a massive rise in all autoimmune diseases,
neurodegenerative diseases, and certain cancers since the advent of
a dramatic increase in the number of vaccines being mandated.
Of special concern is the finding that many of the contaminant
organisms can pass from generation to generation. For example, new
studies have found that SV-40, a major contaminant of the polio
vaccine until 1963, not only existed as a latent virus for the
lifetime of those exposed to the vaccine but was being passed on to
the next generation, primarily by way of sperm, something called
vertical transmission. This means that every generation from now on
will be infected with this known carcinogenic virus. There is also
compelling evidence that some polio vaccines manufactured after 1963
may contain SV-40 virus.
What makes the SV-40 contamination disaster of such concern is its
association with so many cancers – including mesothelioma,
medulloblastoma, ependymoma, meningioma, astrocytoma,
oligodendroglioma, pituitary adenoma, glioblastoma, osteosarcomas,
non-Hodgkins lymphoma, papillary thyroid carcinomas, and anaplastic
thyroid carcinomas.
The Federal government has gone to enormous links to cover up this
association, despite the powerful scientific evidence that this
vaccine infected at least a hundred million people worldwide with
this carcinogenic virus. And, it took over 40 years just to get this
far. Linking vaccine contaminations and immunoexcitotoxicity to the
drastic rise in neurodegenerative diseases will probably take even
longer because of the widespread growth of entrenched powers high in
government and their control of the media, which is equally
extensive. The fact that powerful, enormously wealthy foundations,
such as the Ford Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and
Rockefeller series of foundations, are supporting forced vaccination
greatly enhances the power of governments all over the World.
These foundations operate in the shadows, influencing legislation
and government actions through the World Health Organization and
individual governmental bodies. Behind every call for forced
vaccinations, mandated quarantines, and home invasions, one can find
one of these foundations providing the money as well as experts.
Remember, the largest of the pharmaceutical-vaccine manufacturers
are also providing much of the money for the foundations and serving
on the boards of these foundations. The Rockefellers either owned
outright or had controlling interest in all of the major
pharmaceutical companies. This has given them absolute and extremely
powerful access to the reins of power at all levels. Yet, they can
be defeated by the truth.
