WHAT’s WRONG WITH VACCINES?

Professional Opinion

Catherine J. Frompovich

If you’re over fifty years old, you probably are wondering what’s going on in the world of health. It seems as if “all hell’s broken loose” and there’s no stopping it.

What do I mean by that? Well, let’s take a look at what’s going on at either end of the age spectrum. Specifically, more and more children are victims of autism while more and more senior citizens suffer with Alzheimer’s disease.

Even though autism was first diagnosed in 1943 by Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland, as a childhood psychiatric disorder, it now appears to be a ‘pandemic’ of sorts insofar as Catherine Rice, Ph.D. of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated shortly before Christmas 2009, “It is estimated that between 1 in 80 and 1 in 240 with an average of 1 in 110 children in the United States have an ASD [autism spectrum disorder].”(1)

Furthermore, If 4 million children are born in the United States every year, approximately 36,500 children will eventually be diagnosed with an ASD.(2) Approximately 13% of children have a developmental disability, ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism.(3)

Growing up in the United States, as I did, I cannot remember such an anomoly involving children’s health as there is today. After all, I attended grammar school with all the other kids. If there was an anomoly, it most likely was Down’s syndrome or what used to be referred to as ‘mongolism’, a true genetic disorder. Specifically, Down’s results from the addition of a third chromosome 21. It’s a genetic accident occurring at conception, whereas autism has yet to find its scientific determination.

One has to question why no causation has been found for autism in view of all the gene and genome research going on today. If medical science has been able to map a complete and accurate DNA sequence representing the genetic blueprint and evolutionary history of the human species since about 2003,(4) why can’t science come up with an accurate cause for autism? Are they looking ‘under the right rocks’ or are they playing a shell game of sorts?

If the World Health Organization was so “efficient” in reclassifying the legal and medical definition of a pandemic, why hasn’t it or big pharma been able to establish why an average of one in every 110 children in the USA will be coming down with autism? Now, don’t those statistics indicate a pandemic according to the current reclassification of pandemic? Examining the medical literature we may find some corroborating and/or circumstantial information that can lead to the cause, IF only big pharma doesn’t stand in the way.

Let’s take a look at the history of vaccines according to the CDC.

* Vaccine recommended for universal use in U.S. children. For smallpox, routine vaccination was ended in 1971.

+ Vaccine developed (i.e., first published results of vaccine usage).

& Vaccine licensed for use in United States.

Please note that an additional 34 vaccines are in the pharmaceutical/medical pipeline for development between 2010 and 2020. Some include AIDS and MRSA.

Looking at the above chart we see that vaccines began to proliferate from the 1970s onward. However, Autism cases began to rise roughly around 1980. Public talk about an "autism epidemic" gained momentum in the 1990s, (6) according to the Duke School of Medicine web site. Is there any correlation between the two? That ought to be first and foremost in any scientific assessment: linkages. However, such linkages have received ‘shove under the rug’ scientific considerations.

But here’s something that needs to be examined closely and carefully: All vaccines contain adjuvants, which are included to enhance immune response but, in most cases, truly are toxic ingredients that can exacerbate immune response into harmful neurotoxic consequences. Let’s examine these adjuvants. Any or all of the nineteen adjuvants can be—and often are—included in one vaccine.

Aluminum

A silvery-white, malleable, ductile, odorless metal according to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. There’s an estimated 4 milligrams in each vaccine for kids. It’s considered a neurotoxin.

AS03

Arsenic (III) oxide -- Arsenic

Daronrix

A/Viet Nam/1194/2004 (H5N1) whole virus inactivated antigen (7)

Disodium phosphate

A sodium salt of phosphoric acid

Egg protein

Including avian contaminant viruses

Formaldehyde

Probable human carcinogen per U.S. EPA

Gelatin

Known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis with sensitivity to egg or gelatin

Gentamycin

An antibiotic

MF59

A sub-micron oil-in-water emulsion of a squalene, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (TweenTM 80) and sorbitan trioleate.(8)

Octoxynol 10: Also known as Triton X-100

Contains traces of the toxins ethylene oxide, dioxane, C9 phenols, or glycol ether(9)

Polysorbate 80: Also known as Tween 80

This [sic] chemicals are similar to detergents in their ability to increase cell permeability, damage, and bursting.(10)

When Polysorbate 80 breaks down there are 20 moles of ethylene oxide for every mole of sorbitol. These polysorbates have been shown to cause dangerous, sometimes fatal effects, when given through a needle. Changes in heart function can occur immediately. The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) can be weakened and penetrated, followed by seizures and even death. [Emphasis added](10)

Resin

Polyurethane liquid resins known to cause allergic reactions

Sodium Chloride

Salt

Squalene

Oil usually obtained from shark’s liver

Sucrose

Table sugar

Thimersol: (50% MERCURY)

Some vaccines are preserved with 1:10,000 or 0.01 percent Thimerosal

Mercury is a known neurotoxin per CDC.

Vitamin E

Most likely a synthetic formulation rather than a naturally occurring form

or from genetically modified soybean oil

Trometamol: Also known as Tris (or Tris buffer) or THAM

Hazardous in case of skin contact, of eye contact, of ingestion, of inhalation. (11)

Span 85: Sorbitan Trioleate

Hazardous in case of skin contact, of eye contact, of ingestion, of inhalation. Repeated or prolonged exposure is known to aggravate medical condition.(12)

Just imagine what happens inside a less-than-ten-pound infant’s body when such toxic chemical cocktails are injected into the bloodstream. Almost every ingredient has the potential for crossing the blood brain barrier and creating adverse reactions within the brain: Anything from swelling to vessel rupture or cell apoptosis with resulting neurological damages. Why would OSHA and NIOSH place such ingredients in adjuvants on their health hazards list? Even have medical tests to check for them in the human body! And yet, these toxic ingredients are injected into children from shortly after birth until a mandated 22 vaccinations are given before a child can go to school at six years of age.

According to the CDC’s National, State, and Local Area Vaccination Coverage Among Children Aged 19-35 Months - United States, 2007. MMWR, September 5, 2008, Vol. 57, No. 35

The National Immunization Survey (NIS) provides vaccination coverage estimates among children aged 19--35 months for each of the 50 states and selected urban areas.

This report describes the results of the 2007 NIS, which provided coverage estimates among children born during January 2004--July 2006. Healthy People 2010 established vaccination coverage targets of 90% for each of the vaccines included in the combined 4:3:1:3:3:1 vaccine series and a target of 80% for the combined series. Findings from the 2007 NIS indicated that equal to and greater than 90% coverage was achieved for most of the routinely recommended vaccines.(13)

Is there any wonder why autism has been on the increase since the 1980s when pharmaceutical companies began their media fear campaign from contagious diseases which, in most instances, provide life-long natural immunity once they have been contracted, e.g., measles, instead of impairing the immune system with toxic chemicals.

Furthermore, some interaction within the immune system from infectious disease actually can enhance and strengthen it! Unfortunately, medicine and pharmaceutical companies, in particular, don’t believe that and don’t want healthcare consumers to know that. They spend millions of dollars annually to keep consumers under their control. Just consider the advertisements on television. Consumers sometimes know more about prescription drugs than their physicians do.

Now, let’s look at the other end of the age spectrum: senior citizens who have been prodded into getting annual flu shots since the 1980s. We see a similar neurological pattern developing insofar as Alzheimer’s disease with facilities cropping up all around like mushrooms after a spring rain.

The medical literature is not replete with dementia pandemics in former years. Of course, there always has been an “odd” Uncle Harry or a “squirrelly” Aunt Jane, but nothing like we have today where folks truly are lost souls within their own bodies and ‘warehoused’ in special lock-down communities. There never was a pandemic like this in recorded history. I defy anyone in science or medicine to find it in the literature.

According to the Healthy People 2010 target of vaccinations, we would see 60 percent vaccinated for persons aged 18--64 years with high-risk conditions and 90 percent for persons aged greater than 65 years, but that has not been achieved in the United States as per the 2006-07 report. So does that mean we can expect that all senior citizens will contract Alzheimer’s disease if the target of 90 percent vaccinated is achieved?

There’s something that needs to be factored into our considerations about vaccines and vaccinations and it is this: It’s NEVER been proven that the MMR vaccine has NOT caused autism. Since there are so many allegations that it has, wouldn’t you think the FDA and CDC would mandate scientific studies to PROVE that MMR vaccine DOES NOT cause autism? Or that it does. Or that neurotoxic adjuvants should be removed from vaccines.

True science should be based upon open and transparent research, not controlled interests’ input published in the medical literature. The FDA must NOT depend upon pharmaceutical makers word and/or research which they financed, performed and wrote peer review papers for. That is a definite conflict of interest, both morally and legally and yet the pharmaceutical industry is permitted to get away with such unethical behavior.

If change is the order of the day in Washington, DC, there’s no better place to start than changing the way business is done as usual within the vaccine and pharmaceutical industries. Human healthcare and healthcare costs deserve a break.
