20 Reasons Not To Take The Smallpox Vaccination
By Amy Worthington
1-8-2
1. George W. Bush has said of smallpox vaccination: "One of my
concerns if we were to have universal vaccination, some
might lose their life." ~ The Times (in London),
November 09, 2001.
2. For each million people vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine,
as many as 250 could die, according to the American Medical
Association. Multiply 250 times 285 (millions of Americans)
and the possible deaths from universal smallpox vaccination
could equal 71,250. ~ Journal of the American Medical
Association, June 9, 1999, Vol. 281, No. 22, p. 2132.
3. "The American Medical Association said on Tuesday it was not
in favor of an immediate mass U.S. smallpox vaccination
program, saying the potential threat of a bioterror attack did
not warrant inoculating every American against the disease."
~Reuters, December 12, 2001.
4. "Right now the risk of getting the vaccine is higher than the
benefit. You could get a secondary infection, a full-blown
systemic infection." ~ Marie Rau, Panhandle Health District
nurse, quoted by The Spokesman-Review, November 20, 2001.
5. CDC director Jeffrey Koplan has admitted that universal
smallpox vaccination could unleash a significant number of
side-effects. He said that because many parts of our population
do not have a "robust immune system", a fair number of people
could have serious reactions. ~ Koplan speaking on the PBS
special "Bioterror Propaganda" aired by WETA, November 14,
2001.
6. If the entire nation were to receive a smallpox vaccine,
several thousand people would likely develop encephalitis, an
inflammation of the brain. ~ Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001.
7. Roger J. Pomerantz, chief of the infectious disease department
at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, said that
doctors have no idea what the smallpox vaccine might do to
people at the extremes of life--less than 2 and older than 65.
He said that an even greater concern would be its effect on
people with weakened immune systems from HIV infection,
chemotherapy or transplants. ~ Washington Post, Dec. 26, 2001.
8. "Researchers have been reluctant to recommend a new
vaccination program which would use the smallpox vaccine for
the local population because the vaccine can cause disease and
death in persons with inadequate immune systems". ~ Science,
Vol. 277, July 18, 1997, pp. 312-13.
9. Routine smallpox vaccination in the United States ended in
1972. Officials are hesitant to resume the immunizations
because the vaccine is the most reactive of all and has been
linked to serious side effects, including death. ~ Reuters,
November 29, 2001.
10. Eight printed pages of medical studies documenting the many
serious side effects of smallpox vaccination can be obtained
at www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox.html. See "smallpox vaccine
adverse reactions 66-76." [Note: go to the home page above and
put "smallpox vaccine adverse reaction" in the search engine.]
Repercussions include serious brain and heart diseases,
autism, abnormal chromosomal changes, diabetes, various
cancers and leukemias, plus demyelination of nerve tissue
years after vaccination.
11. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that vaccination must not be
forced on persons whose physical condition would make such
vaccination "cruel and inhuman". In other words, the state has
no right to command that an individual sacrifice his life in
the name of public health. ~ Jacobsen V. Massachusettes, 197
U.S. 11 (1905).
12. By the 1920s, several British medical researchers documented
that smallpox was not only more common among the VACCINATED,
but that the DEATH RATE from smallpox was actually higher
among those who had been vaccinated. This indicates that the
vaccine was ineffective and predisposed vaccinated persons to
more lethal disease. ~ Vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner,
Australia, 1993, pp. 205-220.
13. Getting a vaccination does not guarantee immunity. ~ CDC,
January 28, 1994.
14. By 1987, scientific evidence indicated that the World Health
Organization's 13-year global smallpox vaccination campaign
may have awakened dormant HIV infection in many vaccinees.
~ Times (in London) May 11, 1987.
15. Vaccines made from animal substrate contain animal viruses
that are impossible to filter out. By 1961, scientists
discovered that animal viruses in vaccines, including
smallpox, could act as a carcinogen when given to mice in
combination with cancer-causing chemicals, even in amounts too
small to induce tumors alone. They concluded that vaccine
viruses function as a catalyst for tumor production. ~ Science,
December 15, 1961.
16. Some of the new smallpox vaccine doses will be created with
animal substrate. Because the vaccine will incorporate
vaccinia, the cowpox virus, many wonder about possible mad-cow
contamination. Fifty-five million doses of the new vaccine
will be created using a cell line dating back to 1966 and
cultured from the lung tissues of an aborted human fetus.
~World Net Daily, December 4, 2001.
17. The new smallpox vaccine will be genetically engineered. Many
scientists believe that genetically engineered vaccines may be
responsible for the global epidemic of auto-immune disease and
neurological dysfunction. ~ American College of Rheumatology,
annual meeting, Nov. 8-12, 1998. Merck's genetically
engineered hepatitis B vaccine, Recombivax HB, is a classic
example. According to Dr. Bonnie Dunbar of Baylor College of
Medicine, many thousands of reported adverse reactions to the
hepatitis B vaccine include: chronic fatigue, neurological
disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and MS-like disease.
~ Testimony of Dr. Dunbar to Texas Dept. of Health, March 12,
1999. Over
15,000 French citizens sued the French government to stop
mandatory hepatitis B injections for school children because
of resulting auto-immune diseases. ~ Science, July 31, 1998.
Dr. John Classen has published voluminous data showing that
the hepatitis B and other vaccines are closely linked to the
development of insulin dependent diabetes. ~ Infectious
Diseases in Clinical Practice, October 22, 1997.
18. The British vaccine manufacturer Medeva has a horrendous
record of contamination and blunders. In 2000, the FDA found
that Medeva was making vaccines in conditions of filth,
resulting in contaminated products. Medeva had been illegally
using bovine medium to culture its polio vaccines, then lied
about it. Medeva also used the blood of a Creutzfeldt-Jakob
victim (mad cow) to manufacture 83,000 doses of polio vaccine
used for (against?) Irish children. Nevertheless, the FDA
allowed the USA to accept Medeva's flu vaccine (Fluvirin) for
the year 2000. ~London Observer series: October 20-26, 2000.
19. In 2001, the British socialized health care system was
reported to be in a state of collapse, with many hospitals and
labs operating in abysmal filth. Five thousand people die each
year from infections contracted in British hospitals; 10,000
become deathly ill from such infections. Sterilization
procedures are barely adequate and said to be risking the
spread of mad cow disease. Government ministers are reportedly
trying to hush up the scandal. ~ www.itn.co.uk/ Jan 06, 2001;
The Sunday Times of London, November 12, 2001.
20. The U.S. government apparently intends to conduct NO double
blind studies on the safety and efficacy of the new smallpox
vaccine. It has ordered 286 million doses, one for every man,
woman and child in America at a cost of $428 million. At least
half of this vaccine will be delivered by Acambis PLC of great
Britain.
