HPV Vaccine Blamed for Teen's Paralysis

HPV, human papilloma virus, cervical cancer, cancer, vaccine, paralysisA month after 13 year old Jenny Tetlock was vaccinated against the HPV virus, she missed the lowest hurdle in gym class. It was the first sign of a degenerative muscle disease that 15 months later left her nearly completely paralyzed.

Her father, Philip Tetlock, a professor at UC-Berkeley, has embarked on an odyssey to find out whether the vaccine, Gardasil, is to blame.

Tetlock is not the only one concerned. The public watchdog group Judicial Watch has been periodically obtaining adverse event reports on Gardasil from the FDA. 10 deaths have been linked to Gardasil since September 2007, and there have been 140 reports so far this year of serious side effects such as miscarriage and Guillain-Barré syndrome.



Dr. MercolaDr. Mercola's Comments:

Once you educate yourself and know the facts about Gardasil, the truth about HPV, and the statistics of cervical cancer, it will become quite clear just how outrageously useless -- and dangerous -- this vaccine really is.

The FDA, in not-so-rare form, insists there's no medical reason to be worried about the side effects of Gardasil. "We're monitoring the safety of the HPV vaccine very carefully, and the only adverse event that causes some concern is fainting after the vaccine," says Robert Ball, director of the FDA's office of biostatistics and division of epidemiology.

He continues to say, “Higher rates of Guillain-Barré have been associated with the swine flu vaccine and possibly with the meningitis vaccine Menactra, but it is no more common in those who get Gardasil than in those who don't.”

Alright. Let’s say you agree with the idea that the cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome are pure coincidence, despite the fact that they occur within days or weeks of vaccination.

But what about the deaths?

Infant deaths following Merck’s rotavirus are routinely disguised under the label SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). So what do we have when healthy teenagers drop dead for no reason? SAD -- Sudden Adolescent Death? Will that be the next big thing? Will there be SAD campaigns, with physicians educating the public about proper sleeping positions until you’re well into your 20’s? 

Let’s get real.

I recently read a comment online from one mother who said she’d do anything in her power to make sure her children were protected, and she couldn’t understand “the narrow-minded opinions” and “fear mongering” of Gardasil nay-sayers.

 “Would you rather your daughters died of cervical cancer?” she wrote.

Well, that’s just it, right there! As I will show you, the chances of your daughter dying of cervical cancer are already VERY LOW, and the possibility of Gardasil sparing them from cervical cancer is so RIDICULOUSLY LOW that no reasonable person could argue for the use of this HPV vaccine if they knew all the facts.

How Likely are You to Develop and Die From Cervical Cancer?

According to the CDC, cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. However, in the past 40 years, the number of cervical cancer cases and the number of deaths thereof have decreased significantly. It is believed that this decline is the result of many women getting regular Pap tests, which can find cervical pre-cancer before it turns into cancer.

According to the U.S. Cancer Statistics: 2004 Incidence and Mortality report, 11,892 women in the U.S. were told that they had cervical cancer in 2004, and 3,850 women died from the disease. The American Cancer Society mirrors these statistics, estimating that about 3,870 women will die from cervical cancer in the U.S. in 2008.

Well. We’ve already lost 18 girls, some as young as 12, in the effort to spare them from the mere possibility of cervical cancer later in life.  Others have developed debilitating and potentially life-threatening ailments within weeks of being vaccinated, and others still have had spontaneous abortions or given birth to babies with birth defects.

Also consider this: Cervical cancer usually develops in your late 20s to mid 30s. The protection period of Gardasil is estimated to be 5 years. That means, if you receive your first set of shots when you’re 10 years old, you’d need at least 2 to 4 additional booster shots to make it through your 30s. And THAT means you’ll have to expose yourself to the potential side effects of Gardasil over and over and over again.

But now to the real clincher, and I want you to read the following section as many times as you need to let this truly sink in…

U.S. statistics show there are 30 to 40 cervical cancer cases per year per one million women between the ages of 9 and 26, which is the age bracket that Gardasil targets (and was tested on).

According to Merck, Gardasil was shown to reduce pre-cancers by 12.2% to 16.5% in the general population. So, instead of ending up with 30 to 40 cases of cancer per million, per year, in that age bracket, the HPV vaccine can potentially bring it down to 26 to 35 cases of cervical cancer.

What that means is that you would have to vaccinate one million girls to prevent cervical cancer in 4 to 5 girls.

Further, about 37 percent of women who develop cervical cancer actually die from the disease, so vaccinating ONE MILLION girls would prevent 1 to 2 DEATHS per year, at the bargain-basement price of $360 million per year, plus potentially lifelong suffering for an untold number of women, which has no price tag.

Is this REASONABLE?

Understanding the HPV – Cancer Connection

There are more than 100 types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Of them, about 40 types of HPV affect your genitals or sex organs, and can cause genital warts, for example.  10-30 strains can lead to cervical cancer. The remainder can cause to skin infections and common warts on your hands and feet.

The CDC web site states that certain types of HPV can infect your cervix and lead to cervical cancer over many years. (This may be one of the reasons why cancer rates keep dropping, because there’s sufficient amount of time to treat any abnormalities if you’re getting regular Pap smears.)

It also says that in 90 percent of women infected, HPV clears up on its own within two years, at which point your cervical cells go back to normal. It is only when the HPV virus lingers for many years that these abnormal cells could turn into cancer.

Additionally, it’s important to know that the vast majority of abnormal Pap tests do NOT equate to cancer. Even abnormal Pap tests showing pre-cancerous cells of the CIN II grade clear by themselves without treatment 40 percent of the time.

And, current treatment of pre-cancers has limited the progression to actual cancer to only 1 percent. So, just like the polio vaccine, Merck's HPV vaccine is coming out at a time when cervical cancer is already on a steady decline, and anyone who starts talking about how Gardasil has reduced cervical cancer rates in the next few years is likely talking absolute nonsense.

Informed Consent: Understand the Numerous Dangers of the HPV Vaccine

First of all, the Gardasil vaccine contains just four types of HPV out of the more than 100 strains. So if you contract one of the 96+ types that aren’t included, you’re out of luck. And, if you’ve already been exposed to one of the four types of virus in the vaccine, it doesn’t work against those either. 

This means that even if you accept the risks and get vaccinated, your chances of getting some form of HPV are still very high. Whether or not the HPV virus will lead to genital warts or cervical cancer, however, depends in large part on the state of your immune system.

Gardasil, on the other hand, can damage your immune system, and can potentially lead to death. The main causes of death include blood clots, acute respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and “sudden death” due to “unknown causes” shortly after receiving the vaccine. Again, 11 of the reported deaths occurred within 2 weeks of vaccination, and 7 within 2 days, so whatever the mechanism that induces death, it’s quick and efficient.

Other side effects include:

  • Miscarriages and spontaneous abortion
  • Genital wart outbreak, even in patients who had tested negative for HPV and genital warts prior to vaccination
  • Facial warts and warts on hands and feet
  • Anaphylactic shock
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Grand mal seizures
  • Coma
  • Paralysis

Says Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, “Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to reevaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children.”

It’s also important to know that Merck has NOT evaluated Gardasil’s potential carcinogenity or genotoxicity.  

There is currently no way of knowing how the HPV vaccine affects fertility, birth defects, cancer, if it can pass through breast milk, or if it can alter your genes or the genes of your future children (genotoxicity).  

However, five subjects who got the vaccine around the time of conception had babies with birth defects, whereas no birth defects occurred among the subjects who received a placebo. Likewise, earlier last year when there were “only” 1,637 adverse reports, 18 of 42 women who had received the vaccine while pregnant experienced side effects ranging from spontaneous abortion to fetal abnormalities.

Also remember that you cannot sue Merck if your child dies after receiving the vaccine.

Drug companies have cleverly manipulated the government so that they are immune from prosecution. Instead they’ve made the U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for the hundreds of millions of dollars that are paid out to families of children who are harmed or killed every year from vaccines.  

And even though it is nearly impossible to get one of these payments, more than $1.5 billion has been paid out to affected families already. So ponder on these stats if you haven’t already taken a firm position on the vaccine issue. 

Good Example of How to Fake a Safety Study

In yet another less-than-ethical twist, Merck was permitted to use an aluminum-containing placebo instead of a standard saline placebo. Since Gardasil contains 225 mcg of aluminum, using an aluminum-containing placebo may paint an entirely inaccurate picture of its level of safety, since you’re apt to get similar, detrimental side effects in the placebo group. 

In fact, about 60 percent of those who received either Gardasil or the aluminum placebo had systemic adverse events including: 

  • Headache
  • Fever
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea,
  • Myalgia (muscle pain) 

Gardasil recipients had more serious adverse events such as gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis.  

You should also know that aside from being injected with four types of HPV proteins, girls and women who receive this vaccine also receive the following adjuvants: 

1. Aluminum adjuvants, which have been linked to neurological damage including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease

2. Polysorbate 80, which has been linked to infertility in mice.

3. Sodium borate, a main ingredient in roach killer.

How To Reduce Your Risk of Cervical Cancer to Virtually Zero

The following have been shown to be associated with increased risk of cervical cancer:

  • Nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamin A and folate
  • Mineral deficiency (zinc, selenium, calcium and iron)
  • Smoking
  • Birth control use
  • Douching

It is believed that smoking has more to do with the progression of an HPV infection to cervical cancer than any other single factor, as smokers with HPV go on to develop cervical cancer much more frequently than infected non-smokers.

Cervical cancer is also well documented to be caused by an infection acquired through sexual contact. So in addition to avoiding smoking and eating a nutritious diet, it is behaviorally avoidable.

According to a New England Journal of Medicine study, the use of condoms reduces the incidence of HPV by 70 percent, offering FAR better protection than Gardasil’s protection rate of 12.2 to 16.5 percent.

As I’ve already mentioned, in 90 percent of all cases, your immune system is strong enough to clear up an HPV infection without ANY treatment. So maintaining a strong immune system is vital to beat HPV as well as any other infection or disease.

Don't hold your breath waiting on the mainstream media.  They receive hundreds of millions in advertising from all the "Just Ask Your Doctor" and other advertisements and their medical and science writers are firmly in the hands of mainstream medicine.

Backing a dangerous medicine or other item championed by the mainstream is hardly something new for the media.  Take a look at some of the past items they have championed and advertised:

The bottom line is that modern "medicine" is a massive dismal failure. They cure absolutely nothing, and actually cause more health problems than they solve--all in the name of money. $2 TRILLION a year to be exact in the USA. They are in business to make you sick and to treat the sickness. And there is so much money involved, ethics go out the window to the point that everyone says "I'll lie, and you swear to it". In 100 years, society will look back at the evil megalith the "medical" industry has become, and all of the villians will be the heads of the drug companies, the FDA, the Cancer Societies, etc. They will be looked upon like a Stalin or a Hitler.

These people are so utterly evil and sick to hurt people for mere money. It completely blows me away. If there is a hell, I can assure you they will reside there after their short (but wealthy) lives come to an end.

Amen to that!  6 years ago my doctor gave me a Depo-Provera injection without telling me what it was to stop bleeding from a fibroid.  Made the bleeding worse, plus gave me about 8 other debilitating symptoms!  After suffering for 3 years, I finally found natural progesterone, which helped a lot, but my body has not returned to normal!  If he had given himself that shot, he wouldn't give it to anyone else.  Better yet, if he had given it to his wife, he would never have used it in his practice again!!!!

Once again,  WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!  YOU HAVE A BRAIN!!!
Just because it is recommended by the medical community, let me rephrase this. . . especially if it is recommended by the medical community, FLEE as fast as you can!
The Bible says "My people perish for lack of knowledge"  Another way to word this is My people perish for their stupidity!
I would think that with as many cases like this one, the word would eventually get out to flee from vaccinations.  Even if FOX and CNN refuse to air this news, word of mouth  has a way of doing a better job spreading the news than they could ever do.  It is time to speak out.

I blame the public very little for this situation.  Education through high school does not teach much critical thinking anyt more and most people don't go on to college.  The legislators have allowed big pharma to skip over doctors and go straight to the public through advertising, particularly on television.  Most doctors won't refuse a patient a requested treatment if it doesn't involve addictive drugs.  The government, bought and paid for by big pharma, insists that there is no problem with the vaccine.  

Only rebellious types who question authority and are bright enough to learn critical thinking on their own will know enough to ask questions and demand answers for themselves and their families.  And kids brought up in these families will be more likely to learn critical thinking.  We are seeing the same thing in the energy arena.  There are many solutions, but it won't mean big profits for big oil, so these solutions or law to enable them are never passed in Congress.

It is a matter of taking responsibility. Critical thinking is thought in the better high Schools, but, if people are stupid enough not to go to college to learn critical thinking, or read natural health magazines, letters or e-news as Dr. Mercolas, than they have to take responsibility for getting clobbert by Big PHarma, Monsanto and the lot. I am sorry but blaming Pharma and the government will not lead to a solution - blaming never does; taking responsibility for your choices does.

Regarding critical thinking -- I suspect that the medical school system is designed to weed out critical thinkers before they can get their MD (and it has been this way for hundreds of years).  Most doctors I've ever met were actually fairly nice people (with VERY notable exceptions!) -- but very few of them had any concept of epistemology, either.  That means they usually believe without question whatever they're told by "the system," i. e. drug salesmen, medical journals, and especially what they're taught in medical school.  Carl Jung (himself a doctor) once pointed out that "doctors are trained to not think" -- that's NOT "not trained to think," that's "trained to NOT THINK."  That means that the rest of us must train ourselves to think, or these Judas goats will lead us to debilitation and death via toxic drugs and extreme procedures.

And why should a doctor not act this way?  He's being paid a 6-figure salary and has social prestige, and has no immediate reason whatsoever to question the system.  We'd all better think for ourselves, because nobody else is going to do it for us.

Imo, critical thinking is being brainwashed out of children starting in grade school. When I was learning to read there were these q & a at the end of stories that I was supposed to answer. The last question was titled "What do you think?" and asked what we thought the characters should have done. Being a child who was taught to tell the truth I wrote my opinion and got the question marked as WRONG every time. Now that I'm a parent, I vowed to myself if something like that is done to my children the teachers, principal, school, and school board will hear my wrath for telling my kids that their opinions are worthless.

GhanimaAK - I know exactly what you mean.  I was homeschooled, but my best friend went to the public school I would've gone to.  (I am 30, expect maybe we are the same generation?) I would look at her school work and be shocked at the exact type of questions you mentioned. She is a bright girl, but eventually had to give in to the answers they wanted if she wanted to pass each grade. She would answer essay questions with "yes" or "no" and get a B. In fact she was on the honor roll! I however, learned independent thought and have been an outcast of society ever since...happily!

Imo, the higher the level of education my clients have the less common sense and critical thought they possess.  My sickest and densest clients hold doctorates.  It is not a statement to the individual, merely the system in which they enrolled.

Think for yourself...better yet...feel for yourself.  Intuition is a life saver!

I had CIN III (precanceous cells on cervix) in 2002.  The western doctors just wanted to cut off the tissue (LEEP procedure).  I went to a naturalpathic doctor, and she informed me of HPV and how studies were demonstrating a reversal of CIN II and III to normal cells after a completely vegetarian diet, increasing folate and other vitamins (as mentioned by Dr. Mercola) and doing some additional cell management (using sauves to induce sloughing of the irregular cells--applied by the naturalpath).  Since I did not follow-up with the LEEP procedure, I received a call from the western office.  I mentioned that I had considered other options and needed to schedule another visit to see how the regimine performed (suggested by the naturalpath to follow up with the same laboratory to see if the cells were again normal).  At my appointment, the nurse asked me for more information about my "alternative regime" and when I mentioned that HPV may be a cause of cervical cancer and that tests had shown that the body, provided with folate and other nutrients, would be able to manage the irregular cells.  She gave me quite an attitude--and so did my doctor.  I was very insulted.  They 1) didn't believe that a virus could be the reason for cervical cancer, 2) that nutrition was one of the ways to keep the bodies own immune system in check and that this would be the best way to PREVENT cervical cancer.  

I heard that the HPV vaccine is manufactured by a company that was experiencing financial difficulty, and thought that this vaccine would increase their stock value.  I also heard that the company was from Texas.  I also know that states, one being Texas, has introduced (passed?) laws for mandatory vaccination!!!!  That is one way to guarantee that your company will be profitable!!!!  At over $400 a vaccine, they have succeeded in their motive--increase their stock value.  At the cost of teenage girls lives????? Selfish and Criminal.  Tell your daughter to take folate & eat raw veg!

Hi bjmn, I am concerned about your CIN III.  Please get a pap after your treatment!!  I was vegetarian with high folate intake & had CIN II and had cryosurgery.  (Uncomfortable but not too bad).  They freeze your cervix and it sloughs off the surface.  They repeated freezing a week or two later.  3 months later my pap was normal, though 6 months later it was abnormal!  After being treated again it has never come back.  I am concerned because my diet is excellent, I excercise, drink green tea, yet this virus came back.  Please, please get yearly paps, and while dealing with a virus you need them atleast every 6 mos!!  Take care and God bless!  KC

Take care and God Bless!

This is what they get, and there is no excuse for ignorance when there are lives at stake. Even if the media is bought out by corporate America.

I would've thought a professor would've been a knowledgable person. Quite frankly, he disappoints me. His odyssey of truth will do him no good now, only at the cost of an innocent life suffering.  Pharma alone is not fully to blame, the majority of these idiot parents blinded by sheer stupidity share the other half of the blame. By continuing to believe in those motherf***ers, continuing to encourage Pharma to exploit their children, by letting them to keep poisoning their children out of their own damned pockets and ignore the undeniable fact that corporate America has taken over the government. They are just as guilty. 

It doesn't have to be this way. If people get it through their heads, then countless numbers of people wouldn't have to suffer. How many more lives should be sacrificed until the day people stand as one and say no? How many lives should be lost to this Gardasil poison until it is reluctantly withdrawn and Merck once again gets off with a slap on the wrist?

I want Merck to answer before justice. If I was the jury, I would not hesistate to give them the death penalty (even though I'm normally against it). These animals aren't civilized enough to deserve mercy.

I'm only an 18 year old kid, broke and in community college and even I know.

And I pray that people will stop believing Pharma and the health officials' BS with their "no evidence" and "coincidence" excuses. If it was really that coincidental, we'd as soon be hit by an asteroid.

By the way, here is the site dedicated to Jennifer Tetlock:

http://www.jentet.com/

It was made by her family, and also has a few recent external links about Gardasil's dangers. 82% of the clinical trial participants for Gardasil reported adverse reactions but it was dismissed as "not related". Common sense tells me that it is practically impossible for a healthy individual to just suddenly become crippled or die inexplicably. The true coincidence is that all these individuals were subject to the same external environmental factor! (the vaccine)

They are not killing for the sake of the bottom line.Have you not heard the pervasive messages?

"there are too many of us" , "need to cull the herd" The planet is suffering"

Look up eugenics  pushers Kissinger, Rotrhchilds,Margaret Sanger....Bill Gates.....Warren Buffet their

goals and what they support en masse.

Awards given to china for their population. control efforts by the UN who dictates most our policies...

BTW

All media is corporate owned (5 mega/multinationals)- all of it. You think you have a prayer of  getting any truth out of these repeaters of scripted news?

You forgot to mention that those (5) media multinationals are also run and managed by marxist/liberal socialists/communists. The same gang that advocate population control, back the hussein obama lovefest and are the backers for the ACLU and the  domestic enviornmental terrorists that are killing our economy.

Sounds like a rant, only problem is that its all true and we ignore that too.

You should also know that aside from being injected with four types of HPV proteins, girls and women who receive this vaccine also receive the following adjuvants:

2. Polysorbate 80, which has been linked to infertility in mice.

This is so sad and so unnecessary!!! If only people stopped doing everything their doctors tell them to do and check the other side of the story first. This isn't only a Gardasil problem. A very similiar thing happens with MANY vaccines. It is so frustrating to me that people don't care about their health enough to do some research about things like this!!!

The thing is people are being strong armed and threatened if they don't vaccinate themselves or their children.  Doctors are "reported" if they stray away from the drug approach to health concerns.  We need more people like Dr. Mercola to get into the faces of those FDA mucky mucks and say, "Look here. This is what big pharma is doing to the American people and people all over the world.  They need to be reigned in, NOW.  You are helping make obscene amounts of money at our expense and it has to stop."  I had two doctors send me certified letters giving me 30 days to find another doctor because I was exercising my Florida Patient's Bill of Rights to refuse any treatment or therapy that I considered unnecessary or dangerous.  This third doctor has to tell me about a drug for whatever and he writes down in my records that I refused.  My mother says I should take the prescription and just throw it in the trash.  Why???  My husband says the same thing  because he is afraid TriCare will run out of "approved" doctors and I don't at this time know that there is one naturopathic doctor on their list.  I was told that this third doctor was conservative about his prescription practices.  NOT SO.  He is either chastising me for not taking a statin or telling me I need an ACE inhibitor. I was in hospital and he ordered those nurses to give me a blood thinner, a low dose aspirin and insulin. And he knew how I felt about this before hand.  The first blood test the ER staff took showed that it was not my heart but they went into cardiac mode anyway.  How dangerous is that?  There will be people who will take control of their own health.  But there will be more who want to hand it all the mainstream medicine and big pharma.  Those of us who choose to be responsible are persecuted and called ignorant.  Sad but true. I cancelled my January appointment and I don't know when I will rescedule or if I ever will.  I'm 62 and even though I am having issues I am not going to take the drugs.

Well, no duh. We have been waiting for the negative outcome of the Gardasil push. Now it's here. Some people never listen until they or one of their loved ones is struck down.

After reading about the dangers of vaccines, from reading articles from Dr. Mercola, I stopped vaccinating my older dog, and simply had him tested once a year to see if he was immune to all the diseases covered by the vaccines.  He had been diagnosed at the same time that I stopped with inoperable cancer with weeks to live.

Three years later he is still alive, and still immune to all the diseases covered by his yearly vaccines.  Why do we put our dogs through yearly vaccinations, if they are immune to these diseases, after three years of not being vaccinated? How many years of vaccines does it take to make your dog immune to these diseases forever?

I agree with you.  My dog's groomer took their dog to Kansas City because he had cancer.  The vet down there said it was caused by over-vaccinating!  He said that pets don't need a vaccination every year.  It's not good for them, and it will cause cancer.  If that is what happens to a pet, what will happen to all of these precious babies overloaded with vaccinations?

Congrats on stopping the vaccines.  I so wish we could do that in my town, but by law (municipal) every dog has to have a minimum of 2 vac's each year. A local vet even wrote into the paper to state on record that it was not only unnecessary, but harmful.  He said once every 3 years was plenty.  Our city council rejected it without reason and implemented ( and heavily enforces) the law.

Poor animals and kids...I just try to offset what I can with healthy foods and supps for my dog.

Being in the Nutrition and herbal field I see people every day who get on my Healthy living program begin to get better, have even gotten off their medications just by eating right, healing their immune systems and exercising. Then (and I don't know what happens) they all of a sudden stop go to their doctors and get back on medication that made them feel sick and sluggish.  I think its cheaper and of curse much healthier my way but they want to listen to people who make them sick. Go figure.

Denise B - I have experienced exactly the same and my theory is that some people just need to be sick. It is what makes them who they are. They identify with their illness and it gives them excuses and gets them the attention they need. I may be accused of being cynical but I am sure there is at least some truth in my assumption even though I have no truth. After all we are led to believe that all illness has a psychological basis.

Denise & Janet - Take heart. I am in the same field for 8 years and see the exact same behavior. It used to frustrate and sicken me to no end. I tried to figure out if I was doing something wrong, but seeing as how they were improving and coming off their meds, I couldn't figure. Then I met others in my field with similar stories. Janet is absolutely correct. There are individuals, who when given the choice between changing their habits, stripping their illness from them and living a new life OR going back to their docs/meds who will tell them how to live so there is no personal responsibility, unfortunately, they often choose the latter.  some are terrified, admittedly so, of losing the only identity they've known, or losing an excuse for their lives not being what they want. Still others have some deep-seated need to appease authorities, need a parental figure to please or be punished by and many physicians fit this role.

It's sad, but true. I try not to judge the choice at this point, but merely recognize that this is their right to choose this. I am there if they would like to work with me, but if our paths are not alligned, I have to let them go on their journey.

NNT = Number Needed to Treat = 1 million in this case.  Duhh... Should we not be trying to stretch limited resources as far as possible?  What impact would $350 million per million young girls have if spent on education for improved nutrition and/or smoking cessation?  Well-nourished non-smokers do not die of cervical cancer.  And what about the collateral risk reduction from better nutrition and non-smoking (on cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc)??

Re: Fleeing

Yes, that sounds like an appropriate response to me. In fact, I have heard of that occuring. I don't have the proper details I am sorry to say. At an NVIC Conference in 2004 I think, I heard a man from somewhere in Africa reporting on the results of polio vaccination in his country. He said children were dying from it, and that the government not only required it - they sent troops with guns to homes to find and bring the children to centers to vaccinate. The parents took to sending their children out running into the bush to hide from the soldiers. They were fleeing.

Here it can be quite a task to figure out how to avoid vaccination. Would not surprise me if eventually people began taking their children and fleeing to Canada, where I understand they have it in their laws that one can not be forced to take a vaccination.

In Canada you are not forced by law to have your children vaccinated ,but they won't allow them in public schools without it.If you can't afford to send them to private schools or you are not qualified to home teach them the childrens aid will take them away for that reason and give them the vaccines.

I believe that except for 2 states in the US, there is a legal way to avoid vaccines... and that is by taking a religious exemption.  You can also "home-teach," like can be done in Canada, and the US laws for homeschooling are the most favorable in the world!  (Some states more than others, of course, but home-schooling is legal in every state in the US.)

Call their bluff.  If one can't go to school w/out having the vaccine, then, don't go to school!

I am from Canada. You CAN get an exemption from vaccines either by a religios exemption or sign a paper (which needs to be validated by a mayor or someone in an authority position) saying you have made an imformed decision to not have your child vaccinated.  If there is a breakout of one of the diseases, your child just cannot attend school till it is cleared.  The part about not being able to go to school if your child isn't vaccinated is partly true.  They can only be kept out of school for 20 school days then they can go back without the vaccine.  I have 2 children, a boy and a girl. My son has Aspergers and there has been some speculation vaccines may be linked to the rising number of Autistic spectrum cases.  Needless to say neither of my children will have another vaccine HPV or otherwise.  Life and raising children is challenging enough.  I don't need any help from our pharmaceutical companies making it harder.

An ND I know has a homeopathic vaccination protocol that is totally safe.  You can completely treat 3 children for around $120.  Then you take a vaccination record book ( I'm told that dr's offices will give it to you) and fill out the form as you vaccinate homeopathically.  You give that record to the school and they will accept it.  You don't have to state what type of vaccination your children received.  This works.

As with the video report on Monsanto, this too has been CENSORED, by the powers that be in this so called free nation.  What a joke, in the words of Ebenezer Scrooge, freedom, humbug.

I HAVE AN IDEA PEOPLE, LET'S DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE AND STRATEGIC.. IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE TIME BUT SHOULD HAVE A GOOD RETURN FOR OUR TIME INVESTED. HERE IS MY IDEA: Contact YOUR U.S. Representative. Ask him or her (by letter or email) to introduce legislation that would force the profiteers (the drug companies) to research and develop antidotes for their vaccines. This should be funded by the drug company's profits from sales of the vaccines - absolutely not funded by the government. You would contact the "United States Representative" for your own area that you live in. For the less-politically-active amongst us, go to; forms.house.gov/.../welcome.shtml it will link you to your Congressman. If a number of us write, we are bound to run into a representative willing to introduce this legislation. It is time for the government to step up to the task of defending these helpless kids against the claims and promotions of the profiteers! I will have my own contact to my own Congressman in by this afternoon...  Or, if you agree very strongly with this, your Congressman will sit and talk with you for 15 minutes - you have this right and only need to call for an appointment..

18 years ago I got my oldest daughter her first set of shots the DPT I believe. Within 24 hours she had a fever of 105.9 that lasted for 4 days. She was hospitalized and put in ice baths, and  given acetaminophen continuously for those four days. When her fever broke I swore I would never get my children vaccinated again.

My son was born 16 years later and although I had not been vaccinating my children I did receive Rhogam shots during my pregnancy (B- blood type) It never concerned me until after my son was born. He was born 3 weeks late and because of complications had to be assisted out. Within a week of birth he was heart flighted to the nearest childrens hospital. There he was diagnosed with an intraventricular hemorrhage, Gran Mal Seizures, tracheallyrngealmalcea, reflux, and 60% deaf.

Nowadays he sees a Pediatrician, Neurologist, Behavioral and cognitive specialist, speech therepist, occupational therepist, physical therepist, & an Ear Nose and Throat Specialist. He 6 MRI's, 4 CAT scans, and 9 EEG;s before he was a year old.

Since he turned 2 his Neurologist has been harping on the fact he has not been immunized. I've read the inserts that come with the immunizations, and every one states that it is not to be given to people with Neurological disorders or brain injuries...! He's worried about my son getting whooping cough.

I finally got fed up and told him that I would have my Attorney write up a contract and if he signed it I would give my son his immunizations. I told him that in the contract he would be financially and medically responsible for my son for life if he had ANY problems for the immunizations due to the fact that he neurological problems and had a brain injury. He declined to sign one. I then told him that although I am concerned about whooping cough, it is curable and death (due to complications stemming from his brain damage) was not.

He has forever (I hope) dropped the subjects.

In the spring of 1984 my grandfather, who was in his early 60's, developed Guillain-Barré syndrome. Within 24 hrs he was intubated and on a respirator, his body left completely paralyzed. Only weeks before the development of these symptoms he had received an influenza vaccine. In September 1984, as his paralysis was beginning to subside, he died from a blood clot which is a common secondary cause of death due to this dreadful syndrome.

The 5 media multinationals are run and managed by marxist liberal socialists & communists who also advocate population control, back the " hussein obama love fest, and are the backers for the ACLU"?

Those media multinationals are run by right wing republican Bush supporters who do not advocate population control -- these are the evangelicals who told their flocks to vote for Bush based on anti-abortion pro-life propaganda ( Bush does not, obviously, have any reverence for life -- look at the trail of destruction and death in his wake beginning with 9/11) and they view birth control as being the same as abortion. As to the :hussein obama lovefest" I don't even know how to address that since I don't understand any part of it, but the ACLU reference is just completely off the wall. The ACLU is interested in preserving our civil rights, and if not for them we'd be 100% without rights by now instead of 50%-75% our rights trampled by Bush's nazi regime. In other words we wouldn't even be writing comments to Dr. Mercola's website because he wouldn't have one and we couldn't choose whether or not to have our daughters vaccinated or not with this newest pharmaceutical poison being foisted on us to increase their profits nor would we have a choice regarding vaccinations of any other kind. And, yes, those republicans are all for population reduction and what other method would give them the range vaccinations -- flu, babies, children's -- would afford?

kellymars28195 (and the previous poster that she is rebutting)

I am laughing reading your rebuttal to the poster, as I can see that you are both concerned citizens, but you both suffer from a case of the Liberal versus Conservative Left/Right paradigm that has been ingrained in most of us in America. It took me a while to realize that both are just one side of the same coin, so-to-speak, and that in the end they push the same agenda. It is very advantageous of the two sides of the coin to pose as diametric opposites, which gets us (i.e., the citizens) to fight amongst ourselves. However, they are just the two parts that make up the Hegelean Dialectic, and their aim is to use whichever side is in power at any given time to achieve their (overall) strategy, which is really to take over our country and eventually the world, and to have all of us pay for it while it is happening.

So, getting back to what you too were disagreeing about, let me say that you are both right and that you are both wrong. The corporate media pushes both the liberal and the conservative viewpoints, but you see as I said before their ultimate aim is to arrive at the same place. Neither of the two sides really care about us, the people of this nation.  They will use whomever and whatever issue is politically expedient to get their agenda pushed forward. And I hate to say it, but that agenda is to bleed us for all the money and resources that they can get from us, and then (ultimately) to be rid of us! All of the major issues of the day and of the past 100 years or so have been subtlely crafted and manipulated to weaken our country and erode our rights away; both sides are equally to blame, for they serve the same master. So, instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we need to realize what is really happening and help educate each other about issues, even though there will still be differences amongst us, but at least we as Americans can respect each other and are not killers like "they" are!

I am sorry, but i do not believe parents are idiots. Parents are naive. Until I got into alternative medicine when I got sick, I did not realize how sick pharmaceutical industry was, and I trusted the physicians.  Why would you not trust a man who you knew your whole life? And then you look at the fact that the media portrays those of us who are against vaccines as crazy because they don't give all the facts.  I am sorry. I think your average parent doesn't read Dr. Mercola (or Dr., Lark or Dr. Sinatra or Dr. Blaylock or whoever) like we do, and from the info they receive through normal news channels, the verdict is "traditional medicine cares for your kids, those anti-vaccine folks are nuts."  And that is what they make their decisions on.

And if you are right about "culling the herd" as someone said. Why damage the kids? Kids who can't learn who come from poor and even wealthy families, often end up as criminals. So what are we all going to do then? That makes life unsafe for everyone.  That prevents a possible genius from being born.  I think it is "profits R us." and who cares about everyone else. Let's keep giving vaccines and building chemical food from fast food restaurants so we can sell more medicines for reflux and cholesterol and ADHD.

I agree completely. Many people don't have access to computers or the time to research the internet or books. They trust those in power or those higher educated to tell them what is best for them. Most people get what they know from television. Although my sister in law knew I never vaccinated my kids and I preached the dangers of it she became interested in it only until she saw something on Jenny Mcarthy and her son on television. A celebrity questioned the safety now she was interested. Does anyone remember the commercials that ran before Gardasil came out. "A virus that CAUSES cancer??" There was no mention of a vaccine. They just wanted you to be "informed" and get the word out. Then a few months later, AHA, now there is a cure! Its like ADD. Okay, we got little hyper boys that can't sit still hooked now what? Well, adults are overworked and stressed and sometimes get irritated or can't think straight. So lets say they have ADHD! Now we can treat all those people that were too old when ADD came out. So then it was like what about the little girls. Does anyone remember that commercial where they had a little shy girl and said your daughter might have ADD. Because she acted shy! I saw it twice then they pulled it. I think parents who never questioned were raising their eyebrows at that one? People were catching on and started asking questions.That was just an advertising ploy that wasn't panning out for them. Of course it that was a true symptom and a true treatment wouldnt we still see a push for it?

We are all fortunate to have access to Mercola.com and sites like it, as well as a multitude of excellent publications to feed us the truth.  BUT...what would happen if we suddenly were denied access to up to the minute publications like this one?  Would we all suddenly become stupid? Succumb to the wiles of Big Pharma? I would hope not, otherwise Dr. Mercola is acting as our Messiah and we are putting our trust in him. (I am certain he would not appreciate this!) Isn't the very thing he promotes, and the rest of us, personal responsibility? Taking charge of one's own life?

I believe we are all here not because we're lucky enough to have found this info, or any other info. I believe we're here because our intuition/spirits guided us to the light, the Truth. And the same can happen when the current form of media we rely on is defunct. I pray that this site will remain strong as a beacon to us, but if the light dims, we have to come back to the one thing we all have, and no one can take from us - our God-given spiritual intuitive natures, which connect us to the ultimate Truth.

Peace
