Dear VRAN Members and Friends,
|
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy
new year and to express our appreciation for your continued support,
your kind donations and your concern about the role of vaccines in the
decline of children’s health.
As children’s physical, mental and emotional health deteriorates, more
families are questioning vaccine safety and effectiveness. Many choose
to delay vaccines, or choose an alternate schedule, or walk away from
the vaccine paradigm entirely. Health officials in the meantime, remain
fixated in their stance of vaccine injury denial (VID) while
aggressively defending ever expanding vaccine programs.
To counter growing public concern, powerful new pro-vaccine lobby groups
have sprung up and threaten to dominate internet discussion blogs and
mainstream media articles on vaccines. Their influence is directly
responsible for cancellation of U.S. Congressional Hearings on vaccine
safety that were scheduled in December 2013. Their mission is to drown
out any cautionary voices warning about vaccine risks. Voices for
Vaccines (VfV) leads the charge with Dorit Reiss at the helm bombarding
internet blogs with hundreds of commentaries at all hours of the day and night. Reiss’s profile at the University of Hastings Law School notes that “she
is quickly becoming the nation’s foremost legal expert about the
potential for tort liability for parents who choose not to vaccinate
their children.”
Voices for Vaccines led the recent media and internet frenzy dissing
celebrities Jenny McCarthy and Katie Couric for questioning aspects of
the vaccine program. They denigrate any scientific or legal perspectives
that question vaccine safety and discount the experiences of the
vaccine injured. Wakefield bashing has been taken to a new low. VfV’s
recent article, " Growing up Unvaccinated"
is a hit piece against those who choose not to vaccinate.
Powerful rebuttals to the article signal the outrage felt by many and
can be found at these links: here: here: and here: as well as here.
While Voices for Vaccines pretends to be an independent parent run
pro-vaccine group, in reality it’s tucked under the wing of the Task
Force on Global Health (TFGH) - a key player among organizations
that push for the continued expansion of vaccine programs around
the world. TFGH is a billion dollar charity and partner
organization of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. According to
Forbes,
the Task Force on Global Health is the third largest U.S. charity with a
revenue of $1,664 million, almost all of it derived from private
sources. The Centers
for Disease Control is in the conflicted position of approving and
licensing vaccines, recommending new vaccines to the ever expanding
vaccine schedule, and monitoring vaccine safety.
As noted by John Stone in a probing series of articles on the Age of Autism site, “Voices
for Vaccines was not started independently of Task Force, and Task
Force is not just 'cutting' Voices for Vaccine’s checks, it is Task
Force's creature while posing as an independent and parent-led
organization”. Read the whole series of articles by John Stone here.
As stated on its website,
the Task Force’s Center for Vaccine Equity oversees the Accelerated
Measles Mortality Reduction Improving Routine Immunization in Africa
(AMMRIRIA), the Rabies Vaccine/Immune Globulin Initiative, Voices for
Vaccines, Polio Antivirals Initiative, Coalition for Cholera Prevention
and Control, and is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
Merck and Novartis.
Voices for Vaccines is attempting to stifle debate on growing public
concern about vaccine safety - a perceived threat to the vaccine status
quo. VfV boasts Dr. Paul Offit on its advisory board, a man who
has reaped millions as a vaccine developer. Offit advocates for the
abolition of vaccine exemptions,
and has achieved infamy by claiming that an infant can safely receive
10,000 vaccines at the same time. As high profile vaccine injury
denialists, Offit and Dorit Reiss are in good company with each other.
The “partnership” between government and private companies in which
government pays for most of the research, then develops
and licenses the vaccine for its own profit, as it did in
the case of Gardasil is well described in Vaccines: A Crony Capitalism Dream by Hunter Lewis as a “shameless example of conflicts of interest, disregard for public safety, and crony medicine at its worst.”
Your support enables us to bring you news updates on the emerging
research and knowledge base which counters the misinformation
disseminated by the vaccine industry and government regulatory
agencies. Knowledge is power. VRAN’s mission is to empower
mothers, fathers and grandparents to critically examine the many facets
of this issue so that families can protect themselves from medical
tyranny.

Why the Press Shouldn't Dismiss Vaccine Skeptics by Lawrence Solomon
|
“This wholesale demeaning of vaccine skeptics defies explanation.
Granted, kooks and quacks exist in the vaccination field, just as they
exist elsewhere. But why taint the skeptics as a whole, and fail to
respectfully report dissenting views? No journalist would have had any
difficulty finding dozens of distinguished skeptical scientists for the
very few 'rogue' scientists that the press has vilified.” ... Read full

A Shot Never Worth Taking: The Flu Vaccine by Kelly Brogan MD
|
“The information is out there, brilliant scientists, physicians,
and researchers without financial ties and agendas have weighed in and
presented their concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy, however, the
average citizen resists and clings to a hyper-simplified, seemingly
'safe' stance. 'Well, I’m not against vaccines, I mean, they’ve done a
lot. I’m sure there are some risks, but they’re extremely rare.'" ...

Polysorbate 80 Risks by Susan Fletcher
|
“The combining of other risky ingredients with
polysorbate 80 in flu shots as well as in many other vaccines is
especially concerning. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is weak and easily
trespassed during the first 2-3 years of life and often during the
senior years. In other age groups the BBB normally restricts passage of
substances from the bloodstream. But, an article by
paediatrician Dr Lawrence Palevsky suggests that, even for the latter,
polysorbate 80 in vaccines may allow other vaccine ingredients to enter
the brain. He warns, “Polysorbate 80 is used in pharmacology to
assist in the delivery of certain drugs or chemotherapeutic agents
across the blood-brain-barrier.” ... Read full article here.

The New Meningitis B Vaccine - Not so fast by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
|
“Manufacturing a similar cell-wall antigen vaccine is not possible
for serotype B bacteria. The sugar sequences on the surface of this
bacteria are very similar to the sugar sequences on the surface of human
brain and nerve cells. Therefore, vaccine-induced antibodies can attack
the brain and the nerves, causing a debilitating, life-long, autoimmune
reaction.” ... Read more here.

Kirk Hunter’s Vaccine Injury Story
|
“As the events of the last 14 years unfolded, what is left in
retrospect, is the measure of untold pain of watching our helpless child
struggle through daily seizures. New methodology is too late for Kirk
and even with several anti-convulsive therapies we still see near
death cluster events, the beginning of which were mere hours post
vaccination.” ... View website and read more here.

Vaccine Injured? Sorry! You don’t count
|
“I and many of my friends used to think simplistically like the
woman in the video. We used to believe that if you didn’t want your
kids to die, you vaccinated them — pure and simple. But, for
any one of a number of really good reasons, somewhere along the way we
started to question that assumption. For some, it was when a
healthy baby was vaccinated for hepatitis B on the second day of life
and was suddenly fighting for his life in the NICU.” ... Read more here.

Finally,
The Truth Emerges About Whooping Cough Vaccine: OBs and Pediatricians,
Stand Back With Your Needles, by Dr. Kelly Brogan MD
|
“The wisdom of the immune system is such that infection educates
the body in ways that we do not completely understand (it's more than
just antibody production!), and then passive exposure from infected
individuals in the community, serves to continually reeducate and
'boost' the potential response that keeps reinfection at bay.
Vaccines don't do this, have never done this, and will never do this.
DTaP is a perfect example. ... Read more here.

Pay it Backward. Meet a Young Adult with Vaccine Injury AKA Autism by Laura Hayes
|
Laura’s son Ryan was severely injured and permanently disabled by
his "routine" childhood vaccinations. Here she gives us a “visual as to
what vaccine injury looks like in a young man, who is in actuality a
young child now encased in a man's body. He is but one of many
similar young men in his age group, young men (and young women) who have
suffered catastrophic brain, nervous-system, immune-system, and
GI-system damage from that which their parents innocently and
unknowingly allowed to be done to them by their child's "doctor" without
being given even an iota of informed consent.” ... Read more here.

How Technology Has Made Global Polio Eradication Impossible by Sayer Ji
|
“Polio, once lauded as the prime example of the irrefutable success
of vaccines in conquering infirmity and death itself, can no longer be
used to promote the vaccine agenda. In fact, polio has transmogrified
from a so-called 'vaccine-preventable disease' to a vaccine-caused
disease, with twice the lethality of the natural infection; moreover,
the biotechnology field which made possible vaccines, has now created
the means to ensure that infectious agents like polio and
smallpox persist into eternity.” ... Read more here.

Bill Gates’ Project Tycho and Vaccine Voodoo by Gary Null and Richard Gale
|
“A recent paper published in the November 2013 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine,
is the first of what will inevitably turn into a flurry of future
studies to persuade legislators and the public that vaccination should
be mandatory for assuring the health of the nation. The study was
spawned from a new project launched at the University of Pittsburgh…”

If HPV vaccines were consumer goods would they still be on the market? by Stephen Tunley, Sanevax
|
“In the case of Gardasil for some reason the same safety issues
that govern say; automobiles, baby equipment, tires, peanut butter and
more do not apply. Vaccines appear to be subject to very different
standards, standards where it is quite acceptable to have deaths, life
threatening and life changing illness associated with your product.
Standards where reports made to anyone from the manufacturer, to the
regulator(s), to the so-called experts result in scant investigations by
those who have worryingly close ties to the industry which they are
supposed to be investigating”. ... Read more here.

The HPV Vaccine Debate: Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Sayer Ji

afraid to touch?” ... Read full article here.

Jenny McCarthy Slams the Rumor That Her Son doesn’t Have Autism
|
"Evan was diagnosed with autism by the Autism Evaluation Clinic at
the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and was confirmed by the State of
California (through their Regional Center). The implication that I have
changed my position, that my child was not initially diagnosed with
autism (and instead may suffer from Landau-Kleffner Syndrome), is both
irresponsible and inaccurate." ... Read full article here.
