Dear VRAN Members and Friends,
|
We’d like to thank you for responding so enthusiastically to our
recent fundraising appeal in the Fall 2012 VRAN newsletter. Thank you
for your kind donations and for renewing your VRAN membership. A
reminder, membership renewal is due at the beginning of each year. We
are grateful for your ongoing support which enables us to provide you
with an overview of important events pertaining to the impact of
vaccines on human health.
Recently more than 140 nations agreed on a treaty
to rein in the use and emission of mercury, but the treaty continues to
allow the use of the mercury containing preservative, thimerosal, in
vaccines. Mercury poisoning can affect immune system function and
impair development of the brain and nervous system, posing the greatest
risk to foetuses and infants. Named the Minamata Convention on Mercury
in honour of the Japanese town devastated by the crippling effects of
mercury poisoning, the treaty will be signed in Minamata in October and
will take effect once ratified by 50 countries.
Shockingly, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) wants to keep thimerosal
in vaccines for distribution to poorer nations as does the Global
Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, whose main members are WHO, the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank, and UNICEF; PATH,
the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health; and the Pan American
Health Organization - which is part of WHO and procures vaccines for
Latin America.
"The promotion of increasing vaccines comes from subsidized vaccine
programs given by entities who claim to be 'helping' developing
countries," said Dr. Jose Dorea, scientific expert and advisor to
SafeMinds. "With our mothers and children here in Brazil and other
developing countries already exposed to excessive levels of mercury,
vaccines add another straw to a camel's back I fear we have already
broken in many cases."

SafeMinds says world's children are still at risk as international mercury treaty is subverted by special interests
|
“In a bittersweet moment for the babies of the world, the United
Nations Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee has preliminarily
allowed harmful injections of mercury from vaccines to continue
indefinitely while requiring other sources of toxic mercury in products
to be phased out or banned. Under pressure from WHO, the U.S. FDA, and
the American Academy of Pediatrics, governments at today's treaty talks
gave the mercury preservative Thimerosal a blanket exemption from
calling for replacement with safer alternatives.”

Mercury Stays in Vaccines by Heidi Stevenson
|
“The upcoming mercury treaty will not ban mercury in vaccines.
Instead, it will most likely have the opposite effect. It will probably
prevent nations from banning mercury-laden vaccines.” ... full article here

AAP & WHO Want to Keep Mercury in Vaccines by Jennifer Hutchinson
|
“If unused vials of thimerosal-containing vaccines must be disposed
of as hazardous waste because of the mercury content, then why is the
AAP strongly advocating that thimerosal-containing vaccines continue to
be injected into children’s bodies?” says Barbara Loe Fisher ... full article here

To prevent injecting mercury (thimerosal) into pregnant women,
infants and children around the world by supporting a global phase-out
of mercury from all medical, pharmaceutical and personal care products.
The second most toxic element on Earth has no place in 21st century

Why you should avoid Tamiflu by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
|
In 2007, the Japanese ministry banned the use of Tamiflu in
10- to 19-year-olds after delirious behavior was observed in some
children taking the drug. They reported that those patients ages in
that age group who Tamiflu had a 54 percent greater chance of
exhibiting abnormal behavior than those patients who did not take the
medication. Shockingly, there has been a new push has evolved to
give Tamiflu to children as young as two weeks of age. ... full article here

Tamiflu Approved for Infants Less Than One by GreenMed Info
|
“Infants do not yet have a sufficiently developed blood-brain
barrier capable of keeping the chemical out of their rapidly developing
brains. Their detoxification systems are not sufficiently developed to
remove the chemical rapidly enough to prevent harm.” ... full article here

Autoimmune Disorders Caused by Vaccines: A Smoking Gun, by Heidi Stevenson
|
Autoimmune disorders—chronic diseases—have become a way of life for
children and young adults, yet the cause is not being addressed. Here
is clear and strong evidence that the cause is the massive number of
vaccinations ... full article here

Latest IOM Report Clears Vaccines of Safety Concerns by Anne Dachel
|
Quoting from Barbara Loe Fisher, “This IOM report will be another
piece of evidence to show legislators that doctors operating the
mandatory vaccination system in the U.S. have developed a child vaccine
schedule that has placed the love of power and money before love for
children and respect for good science." ... full article here

A Critique of Mandatory Flu Shots for Healthcare Workers by Jane Orient MD
|
“In the view of public health authorities and many medical
organizations, medical professionals by virtue of their occupation have
forfeited the rights that apply to experimental subjects and patients.
They are expected to assume unknown and potentially serious risks to
achieve hypothetical, likely small protective benefits to patients, with
no mention of indemnification for harm they may suffer. The influenza
vaccine mandate is authority-based, not evidence-based. It is arguably
both unnecessary and insufficient." full article here

The Shocking Lack of Evidence Supporting Flu Vaccines by GreenMed Info
|
“As it presently stands, it is not sound medical science, but
primarily economic and political motivation which generates the immense
pressure behind mass participation in the annual ritual of flu
vaccination.” ... full article here

U.S. Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism by David Kirby
|
“The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, better known as
"vaccine court," has just awarded millions of dollars to two children
with autism for "pain and suffering" and lifelong care of their
injuries, which together could cost tens of millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors of both children
testified they were developmentally normal, if not advanced for their
age when they developed seizures, spiking fevers and other adverse
reactions to their vaccines. According to these eyewitnesses, the
children never fully recovered, and instead began losing vocabulary, eye
contact and interest in others around them, all classic symptoms of
regressive autism.” ... full article here

headaches, and diarrhea. Their conditions were described as critical.”
