A News Service wrote. "This could be very good news. I've seen
some promising updates on this and it appears it is now ready
for human testing. In a non-related article, DNA altered pigs
are now being raised for organ replacement. By altering the DNA,
humans are less likely to reject the new organs."
This could be good news or very bad news.
Messing around with DNA is more dangerous than nuclear bombs.
It is bad enough that vaccines are made from other species like
oral polio vaccine. Which was the good news. The bad news was
when you ate that sugar cube you were eating monkey pus. Nibble,
Nibble! Like the fairytail says. I guess the sugar helps the
monkey pus go down.
Some people find it distasteful when I say monkey pus but that
is what millions of people were taking into their bodies. The
fluid that those white clad nurses dropped on the cubes for
millions of Americans contained a live monkey virus that was
believed could not harm humans.
This monkey virus called SV40 contaminated millions of doses of
oral polio vaccine in the 1940s and 1950s. It has been linked to
human cancer. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in
Houston, Texas, reported in the August 24th issue of New
Scientist that they found a mechanism that directly implicates
SV40 as a human carcinogen. The same research team found the
active virus in a human brain tumor.
Between 10 and 30 million people in the United States were
inoculated with the contaminated polio vaccine.
Researchers working with laboratory mice and hamsters in the
United States and Europe have known that injections of SV40
could induce brain tumors and mesothelioma (a lung cancer found
mainly in people exposed to asbestos).
The virus causes cancer by switching off a protein called p53
that prevents cells from dividing uncontrollably and becoming
malignant. SV40 contains a protein, known as T antigen, that
binds to p53 and deactivates it. Researchers also discovered
that other cells made only when p53 is active were missing from
the cells. This discovery suggests that the tumor suppressant
had been shut down.
Many say, "Look at the benefits of vaccines and modern drugs."
Yet this slogan and wishfull thinking is bandied about as if
the fact are real. No vaccine was responsible for the dramatic
decline of spanish flu, scarlet fever
The research findings may also explain why approximately 20
percent of people who develop mesothelioma have never been
exposed to asbestos.
Mass inoculations is a doorway to disaster. We are turning over
the most complex laboratory in the planet, the human body, to a
bunch of ego maniacs and a multi-billion dollar greedy
pharmaceutical business with THE BOTTOM LINE for a moral Bible..
The Phyllis Schlafly report of February 1999 stated that,
"Vaccines contain either inactivated (killed) bacteria or
viruses or they contain live viruses that have been attenuated
(weakened). Sometimes, live-virus vaccines can cause the disease
they are designed to prevent. The live-virus polio, measles and
chickenpox vaccines can cause vaccine-strain infections of these
diseases. Drug corporations grow the viruses and bacteria used
to make vaccines in either chicken or pig embryonic cell
cultures, monkey kidney cells, human embryonic lung cells, yeast
cells, or other mediums. Chemicals such as formaldehyde are used
to inactivate the viruses or bacteria. Vaccines also contain
such additives as aluminum, thimerosal (mercury), gelatin and
antibiotics."
"It is not clear that the increased use of vaccines always
promotes the health of individuals. No vaccine is 100% safe or
effective. We hear persistent reports that some children,
following vaccination, develop chronic health problems such as
seizure disorders, asthma, persistent ear infections, learning
disabilities, hyperactivity, autism, diabetes, arthritis, or
other autoimmune or neurological disorders. Virginia's
Lieutenant Governor John Hager is in a wheelchair because he
acquired polio from the vaccine given to his infant son."
"Between 12,000 and 14,000 reports of hospitalizations, injuries
and even deaths following vaccination are reported to the
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System every year. The National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has already paid out $925
million in claims for vaccine-caused injuries and deaths. Nobody
knows the real total of adverse reactions following vaccinations
because very few doctors report vaccine-associated health
problems."
The fourth leading cause of death in America is prescribed
medicines according to their own statistics in 1996, and there
are millions of cases that go undetected such as deaths from
cancers caused by monkey viruses in polio or other vaccines or
other problems stemming from long term effects to say nothing of
cover-ups and misdiagnoses...
Like the English farmers mixing the ground carcasses of sheep
that had died from scabies into cattle feed. The cattle that ate
it prospered until finally the virus mutated and produced Mad
Cow diseases which was able to actually jump to humans in very
few instances, but non the less it devastated the beef industry
in Britain.
Most flu viruses come from Northern China where it is commonly
believed that wild water fowl infect domestic geese with variant
flu viruses. Geese and domestic pigs are raised to gather in
millions of small farms and eventually a flu virus mutates and
infects a pig, which infects thousands and even millions of
other pigs. Domestic pigs have a flesh that is already very
similar genetically to mankind and under these mass conditions
eventually the flu virus jumps to humans.
There are some who claim that domestic pigs may already be the
results of more than just domestic breeding practices. Since DNA
can be altered in not much more complicated facilities than the
average kitchen or ancient alchemist laboratory this may be true.
The Pharmaceutical industry has known this for years and world
health departments have monitored the flu viruses coming out of
China for years so that they would be able to develop a vaccine
ready to go before the flu got to us poor unsuspecting Americans
and Europeans who could afford to line up for our annual flu
inoculation.
Now to actually alter DNA in another animal so that its tissue
is more like our own could open a Pandora's box of woes. When
you do this you are making it much easier for diseases to cross
species. Viruses that should not be able to live in man will
develop and enter the pool of infirmities that plague man
already. These will be diseases that we have now natural
immunity and could devastate mankind.
The Indians in America were devastated and defeated by the
white man's diseases more than anything else because they had no
natural or hereditorial immunity to them. Now we are crossing a
gulf between us and the animal kingdom and providing a bridge
that could bring about our own devastation and destruction with
this bestial mingling of DNA.

I was so impressed with the Phyllis' report I include it here.
PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY REPORT -- February 1999 -- (Part 1)
Whatever Happened to Informed Medical Choice?
Why are American infants and schoolchildren being forced to
submit
to hepatitis B vaccinations even though the French Health
Ministry
has suspended them in schools because of evidence they can
cause
neurological disorders or multiple sclerosis? (New York Times,
Oct.
3, 1998) Has America become a nation where the government can
force controversial medical procedures on children without
allowing
their parents informed choice? If you think such things only
happen in
Communist China, think again. Compulsory health treatment is on
the march in the United States.
"Force" is not too strong a word. Across the country, newborn
babies
are being injected with hepatitis B vaccine only hours after
birth (even
when their mothers test negative for hepatitis B), and
children are told
they must present proof of having received three hepatitis B
shots
before they can be admitted to daycare, kindergarten, fifth
grade or
high school.
I first became interested in the hepatitis B vaccine when, in
connection with the birth of two new grandchildren, I learned
that
hospitals are routinely injecting newborns with the vaccine
during
their first 24 hours of life. A series of inquiries produced
no convincing
medical reason or scientific evidence for this procedure. My
new
grandchildren were not at risk for hepatitis B, which is
primarily an
adult disease transmitted through bodily fluids. Those most at
risk
are the highly promiscuous (heterosexual or homosexual),
needle-sharing drug addicts, health care and custodial workers
exposed to blood, and babies born to already-infected mothers.
According to a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report, there
were
only 10,637 cases of hepatitis B in the United States in 1996,
including only 279 cases in children under the age of 14.
Hepatitis B
is not fatal for most who contract it, and it is not epidemic
except
among high-risk groups.
For the problem of 279 children who have hepatitis B, millions
of U.S.
children are being forced to submit to vaccination consisting
of three
hepatitis B shots (at about $40 each)! The government isn't
just trying
to vaccinate the people who are at risk for Hepatitis B -that
might
"stigmatize" them. Instead, the CDC recommends that all babies
be
vaccinated at birth to be ready for risky activities a dozen
years later.
"Infants are considered the easiest to immunize," says Dr.
Walter
Orenstein, Director of CDC's Immunization Program. (New York
Times, July 30, 1997)
To win parental support for hepatitis B vaccinations, the
vaccine
police de-emphasize sex and drugs as risk factors, instead
citing
alleged dangers from ear piercing and contact sports. A
hepatitis B
coordinator said, "We didn't want to have to battle people's
moral
philosophy over children's vaccinations and having parents
tell us,
'My sixth-grader doesn't have sex.'" ("Lining Up for Hepatitis
Shots,"
New York Times, July 30, 1997, p.B10)
More than 24,000 reports of hospitalizations and injuries,
including
about 400 deaths, following hepatitis B vaccinations have been
reported since 1990 to the U.S. government's Vaccine Adverse
Event
Reporting System. There have been no controlled studies to
evaluate
these reports, there is no adequate proof of the vaccine's
long-term
safety, and little is known about the effect of vaccines on a
newborn
baby's immune system. One nationally respected vaccine
developer
has been repeatedly turned down by the National Institutes of
Health
for a research grant to study hepatitis B vaccine-related
injuries.
(Science magazine, "A Shadow Falls on Hepatitis B Vaccination
Effort," July 31, 1998, p.630)
Vaccines: the Key to Federal Control
It's been clear since 1993 that the Clinton Administration is
steadily
working toward federal control of the entire health care
industry, and
a major feature of this control is to compile the health
records of all
Americans on a government database. The 1996
Kennedy-Kassebaum Act gave the Department of Health and Human
Services the authority to establish "unique health care
identifiers" so
the government can identify and track our medical records.
Thanks to
Eagle Forum and other alert citizens, last year's Congress
postponed
this authority until Congress takes further action.
The Clinton Administration is using vaccines as the reason to
build a
massive database of the health records of individual
Americans. The
bureaucrats expect vaccines to be non-controversial because of
the
remarkable success of the smallpox vaccine in completely
eradicating that disease. Here is how the Clinton
Administration's
plan works.
The 1993 Comprehensive Childhood Immunization Act, signed by
President Clinton, gave the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) $400 million to assist states to computerize
state
vaccine databases, or registries, to tag and track children's
vaccinations.
The CDC uses carrot and stick to force the states to obey
federal
"recommendations." The CDC has the power to withhold money
grants if state health officials don't show proof of designated
vaccination rates, and the CDC has doled out hundreds of
millions of
taxpayer dollars to reward state health departments for
promoting
mass vaccinations. States receive either $50, $75 or $100 per
child
who is fully vaccinated with all federally recommended
vaccines,
including hepatitis B.
In 1995, HHS Secretary Donna Shalala gave the states the power
to
get access to newborn babies' Social Security numbers in order
to
put them on vaccine tracking databases. Now, the CDC is trying
to
link the state vaccine databases, or registries, into a de
facto
centralized database containing every child's medical records.
Once
in place, the national vaccine database can serve two important
goals:
First, the database will enable the government to enforce
mandatory
vaccination of all children, thereby conditioning Americans to
accept
compulsory control of their individual health care. Although
American
children entering kindergarten have a 97% to 98% immunization
rate
for most prescribed vaccines (Statement of Dr. Alan R. Hinman,
Director of CDC's Center for Prevention Services, to the U.S.
House
Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, Mar. 7, 1990),
government officials are determined to let no child escape.
The federally monitored vaccine database, which will have all
children
tagged from birth with an I.D. number, will serve as a
gatekeeper to
deny the child admission to daycare, kindergarten, school or
college,
or even access to medical care, without showing proof of all
required
vaccinations.
Second, once the vaccine database is in place, it will be easy
to add
all medical records. This will accomplish one of the major
goals of
the Clinton Administration's nationalized health care plan,
and will be
the key to government's ability to dictate the giving and
rationing of
health care.
Before any of this happens, it is vital to pass state privacy
protections to forbid state officials from sharing personal
health data
with other states or the federal government. It's also
important to
keep the feds from preempting existing state privacy laws,
which
Congress tried to do last year in the so-called Patient
Protection bill
that fortunately did not pass.
How Are Vaccines Made Compulsory?
Medicine used to have a grand tradition of according patients
the
right of informed choice before being given drugs or
submitting to
medical treatment, including the right to refuse unwanted
medical
procedures. The only vaccination required when I entered public
school was for smallpox, and that's the only immunization I
ever had.
A national campaign to enforce mandatory vaccination laws
started
with the Jimmy Carter Administration, and then was aggressively
accelerated during the 1990s. Most states have now passed laws
requiring children to be injected with about 33 doses of 9 or
10
different viral and bacterial vaccines, including three doses
of
hepatitis B vaccine, in order to enter public school. A New
Jersey
court recently upheld the right of a private school to deny
admission
to a student who objected to taking a vaccine.
When it comes to vaccines, instead of "choice," some states
tolerate
limited and hard-to-get "exemptions." Most states permit a
medical
exemption, but that must be signed by a doctor. All but two
states
permit a religious exemption, but that can be interpreted
narrowly or
broadly. Some 16 states permit a philosophical exemption, but
that
can be arbitrarily interpreted by state bureaucrats. There's a
big
difference between exercising free choice or having to plead
with
some government functionary to tolerate your exemption.
Where do these intrusive and expensive vaccine mandates
originate,
and how can they be enforced nationally since immunizations
are a
state, not a federal, matter? The vaccine police have figured
out how
to override state authority (and even overrule pediatricians
who might
otherwise act in the interest of their patients). They have
developed
an intricate system of control outside the spotlight of public
scrutiny
and without accountability.
U.S. vaccine policy is set by a quasi-governmental group of
mandatory-vaccination promoters called the Advisory Committee
on
Immunization Practices (ACIP), whose members are appointed by
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). ACIP members can have
financial ties to the drug corporations, which is a gross
conflict of
interest since the vaccine manufacturers' profits depend on
laws that
force vaccines on all children instead of just those at risk.
One would
think that ACIP's objective would be to promote the health of
Americans or to provide information to aid informed choices by
patients, but it's not. ACIP's stated purpose is "to increase
the safe
usage of vaccines."
After ACIP and CDC endorse a given vaccine, then state health
officials move to make it mandatory for all children.
Sometimes the
state law designates a specific vaccine, and sometimes the
state law
delegates to the state bureaucracy the authority to add a new
vaccine to the mandatory list. The unaccountable bureaucrats
make
regulations that follow CDC instructions and have the impact
of law.
The drug corporations are involved every step of the way in
securing
CDC endorsement of a vaccine and in lobbying legislators and
bureaucrats to make its use compulsory.
The New York Times recently published a front-page report on
how
the pharmaceutical corporations spent $5.3 billion last year
sending
their representatives into doctors' offices and hospitals,
with gifts and
meals, to sweet-talk physicians into using their brand-name
products. The Times headlined the news story: "Fever Pitch:
Getting
Doctors to Prescribe is Big Business." (Jan. 11, 1999) The
Times
explained that "business is a big part of medicine now."
Indeed it is.
But, of course, doctors have complete freedom to accept or
reject the
drug corporations' sales pitches.
It's time to hear the rest of the story about how politics is
an even
bigger part of medicine. With a $5.3 billion marketing budget,
the
drug corporations can easily afford to lobby thousands of state
legislators and federal and state bureaucrats to pass laws
that force
us to buy their products, particularly vaccines. It is the
mandatory
feature of vaccines that makes them so profitable for the
industry.
(How the Hepatitis B mandate was lobbied through the Ohio
legislature, bypassing the proper committee, with no notice,
study or
debate, is described in "Hepatitis B vaccine for Ohio's
kindergartners
unnecessary," Cincinnati Enquirer, Jan. 15, 1999.)
Vaccines are designed to give us immunity from certain
diseases,
but the most interesting immunity is the drug corporations'
immunity
from any liability related to vaccine side effects, which
Congress gave
them by law in 1986. That, combined with coercive state laws,
has
made vaccines extremely profitable for the drug corporations.
Physicians who respect the traditional Hippocratic Oath have a
duty
to work for the well-being of their patients (rather than the
good of
society or any other social goal). This presents a conflict
with CDC
vaccine policy, which is to promote public health.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issues vaccination
guidelines for pediatricians. In 1995, however, the AAP and
other
physician organizations agreed to endorse schedules determined
by
federal authorities. Some HMOs are requiring pediatricians to
achieve
a near-perfect vaccination rate of their patients as a
condition of their
HMO contract, and even be subject to on-site inspection of
records
to verify compliance.
It's time to have a free and open debate on the pros and cons
of the
policy considerations that go into laws that make the use of
drugs
compulsory. Better yet, it's time to give all parents the
right of
informed choice about medical treatment for their healthy
children.
When we ask questions of the scientists who created the
vaccines,
the drug corporations that make and sell them, the public
health
officials who issue regulations, and the legislators who pass
laws
forcing every child to be vaccinated, the answers are
unsatisfactory
and disturbing. The more we ask questions, the more we find
that the
subject of vaccines is not all based on science -- some of it
is
politics.
Many vaccines are required without publication of the risks and
benefits. The vaccine establishment's attitude is that such
information unduly alarms parents and, anyway, the government
knows what's best for children.
New Vaccines Are Coming Fast
A new live virus varicella zoster (chickenpox) vaccine has
recently
come on the market. Chickenpox is highly contagious but is a
mild
disease for most children. More than 95% of all American
children
get chicken pox between the ages of 1 and 9, recover without
complications, and have lifelong immunity. The movement to make
the chickenpox vaccine compulsory for all children is moving
rapidly.
Maryland, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts have
already used rulemaking authority to mandate use of the
chicken pox
vaccine, and legislation is pending in several other states.
Radio and
newspaper advertising for the chicken pox vaccine is designed
to
frighten parents about the disease.
In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration licensed a live
rotavirus
vaccine to block one cause of infant diarrhea, even though the
vaccine has been shown to be only 50% effective.
The principal selling point used by public health officials in
mandating
the new chickenpox and diarrhea vaccines is not the health of
the
child, but that it will save working mothers money from wages
lost if
they have to stay home with a sick child. ("Cost-effectiveness
Analysis of a Rotavirus Immunization Program," JAMA, May 6,
1998
p.1371, concludes that this factor accounts for 3/4ths of the
alleged
savings from the vaccine.)
More than 200 vaccines for a variety of diseases are now under
development by drug corporations and government scientists, and
there is much talk among government officials about more
mandates.
A prominent vaccine policymaker has said that all 12-year-olds
will
be targeted for injection with an AIDS vaccine when it is put
on the
market.
Can Vaccines Be Worse than the Disease?
The Economist, in an article entitled "Plagued by Cures" (Nov.
22,
1997, p.95), stated: "There is growing evidence that preventing
diseases in infancy may be a mixed blessing. Can intervening
in an
illness sometimes be worse than doing nothing at all? . . .
The first
possible effect is the replacement of one disease by another.
As the
incidence of childhood infections has fallen, a number of
chronic
ailments, such as diabetes and asthma, have become more
frequent.
In parts of the world where childhood diseases are still
common,
these chronic ailments are rare. . . . Childhood infections do
indeed
seem to reduce the probability of chronic disease -- an idea
known
as the 'hygiene hypothesis.' . . . The second possible effect
of
intervening in a disease is that the intervention makes the
disease
worse in the long term, not better. A number of viral
infections are
more dangerous to an adult than an infant."
Science News, in an article entitled "The Dark Side of
Immunizations" (Nov. 22, 1997), reviewed several studies by New
Zealand and by British researchers showing that vaccinated
children
have a higher incidence of asthma and diabetes than do
unvaccinated
children. The article notes that animal studies indicate that
an
absence of contact with naturally occurring viruses increases
the risk
of diabetes, and that research in humans suggests that some
childhood infections may be advantageous in priming the child's
immune system to fight off asthma. A 1994 study suggested that
the
pertussis vaccination of infants may increase the risk of
asthma
five-fold during childhood. (Odent MR, Culpin EE, Kimel T.,
"Pertussis vaccination and asthma: is there a link?" JAMA,
1994;
272:591-592.)
None of this provides conclusive proof, so we need basic
science
research and large clinical studies, conducted by independent,
non-government, non-industry-financed scientists, on the side
effects
and long-term effects of vaccines and of multiple
vaccinations. But
neither the government nor the drug corporations appears
willing even
to talk about this.
Who Should Decide a Child's Care?
When it comes to balancing risks versus benefits, it's not
always
obvious how to weigh the risks. Parents, not government
politicians
or bureaucrats, should be balancing the risks and benefits of
vaccines for their own children based on complete information.
State legislators and state and federal bureaucrats are seldom
physicians or scientists. They get their information from other
unaccountable bureaucracies such as the CDC and from the
lobbyists for the drug corporations. Scientists and physicians
aren't
infallible. When I was growing up, tonsillectomies were
routinely
performed on children. I now am glad my family couldn't afford
that
unnecessary surgery.
Freedom in America should include allowing parents to make
their
own informed choice about injecting their babies with
potentially
dangerous vaccines. Parents should do their own research.
