Polio Outbreaks And Vaccines – A Story

By 1 Comment

In the United States the first outbreak of poliomyelitis, 26 cases, was in Boston in 1893, at the same time as its citizens were desperately spraying the just-invented insecticide lead arsenate to combat the plague of imported gypsy moth grubs that was denuding their trees.

Then the formula for lead arsenate was published in 1894, so people could mix up their own to use against a variety of pests including the codling moth whose worms damaged their apple crops. Use of the insecticide became much more wide-spread, as did outbreaks of poliomyelitis, which now included deaths. Outbreaks were usually in summer and autumn when apples and other fruit and vegetables were sprayed. [Read more…]

The False Claim That Science Research Has Proven Vaccination Does Not Increase The Risk Of SIDS

SIDS vaccine science studies

Today’s post is from Wendy Lydall, author of the book Raising a Vaccine Free Child. To buy the book, visit this website: Raising a Vaccine Free Child

Around the world, medical authorities tell parents that it has been scientifically proven that vaccination does not cause SIDS, and sometimes they even tell parents that vaccination prevents SIDS. However, the studies that are used to justify these claims use research methods that are scientifically flawed.

One type of study that is often quoted as proving that vaccination does not cause SIDS is the temporal study. Central to these studies is the assumption that if vaccination were to cause a sudden unexplained death, it would do so within 12 hours, or 24 hours, or 48 hours, or 7 days, or 14 days.[1,2,3,4]

No one knows what vaccines do once they get inside the body, so no one knows what the time frame is for a negative effect. Implying that they do know is bordering on fraudulent. [Read more…]

Top Australian Immunisation Official Admits Problems With Vaccines And Vaccine Laws

By Leave a Comment

Professor Peter McIntyre, one of the architects of Australia’s immunisation schedule, made quite a few admissions of problems with vaccines and our Australian vaccination laws in May last year (2017).

As Director of the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, he was interviewed for the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) podcast series [UPDATE – he retired from this position in July 2018]. Find the podcast here:
MJA Podcasts 2017 Episode 24: Vaccination rates and incentives, with Prof Peter McIntyre

I could not get the interview to play in my browser, but I downloaded it via the download link and it played fine on my computer. It is also available on YouTube here:

Pertussis (whooping cough) and the media

Early in the interview, McIntyre attributes the initial drive for the No Jab No Pay law to a report that linked vaccination rates to postcodes, which showed that certain areas had low rates. He says this coincided with concern about the death of an infant from pertussis (whooping cough), and that pertussis occurrence and the death were not necessarily related to vaccination rates, but a relationship was made in the media messaging at the time:

that really spurred a lot of media coverage around areas, particularly, I guess areas that might be considered a bit more affluent or trendy in cities, where these rates were said to be low and potentially a problem. And that sort of coincided, I guess, with all the concern about pertussis and pertussis deaths from a young infant, and the two are not necessarily related, but they sort of got related in the media messaging around all of this.

In other words, the fear about the unvaccinated spreading pertussis was the result of hype by the media and not based on facts, according to McIntyre. [Read more…]

Discovery Of Super-High Aluminium Levels In Brains Of Autistic People

By Leave a Comment

In a breakthrough study, shockingly high levels of aluminium have been found in the brains of autistic people, and aluminium in vaccines is implicated as having a part in the mechanism that causes autism.

Hear Professor Christopher Exley from Keele University Staffordshire UK explain his group’s discovery, and his interpretation of it – there is also a transcription of the video below. [Read more…]

Don’t Blame The Unvaccinated For Whooping Cough

By Leave a Comment

Here in Australia, unvaccinated children are blamed for young infants becoming seriously ill or dying from whooping cough (pertussis), and the government say it is very important to raise the vaccination rate. However, when we had much lower vaccination rates for pertussis, the number of reported cases was also much lower.

In 1991, around 70% of Australian children were fully vaccinated and there were only 347 cases of Whooping Cough, while in 2011 with over 90% of children vaccinated, we had 38,758 cases. How can the unvaccinated be blamed for this disease spreading? [Read more…]

Andrew Wakefield Is Not A Fraud

Andrew Wakefield not fraudSo many times we see and hear people saying Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a fraud. They even say he “made up his whole paper” and has “been in jail”!

These statements are far from the truth, and I hope the information on this page is useful for anyone wanting to understand what has happened. [Read more…]

Let’s Demolish The Exaggerated Claims About Measles Danger

By 5 Comments

The CDC says that for every 1000 measles cases, one or two will die, and one will develop encephalitis, which commonly leads to brain damage, here and here

Another example from the CDC:

measles danger

That makes measles look rather dangerous.

Many news stories about measles or vaccines quote these statistics, often with a prominent doctor saying it.

These figures have for a while struck me as odd because the death rate from measles in the US was more like one in 10,000 cases in the decade before widespread measles vaccination started in 1967. I also did a very rough calculation for Australia and got a similar result. [Read more…]

Fear Of Measles

By 1 Comment

Wendy Lydall

Today I am very pleased to be bringing you a guest post by Wendy Lydall, author of the book Raising A Vaccine Free Child. BUY NOW here: Raising a Vaccine Free Child (edition 2).

On Sunday the 14th of June 2015 the Australian population was treated to a blast of the terrifying “news” that measles cases were increasing and some people could die or become brain damaged because not every parent was vaccinating.

The chief protagonist of this scare campaign was Professor Robert Booy of the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance. Professor Booy had chosen to not learn something from me when we both appeared on a TV morning show in May 2013. The news anchor had introduced me as someone who claims, “… that diseases like the measles are beneficial for a child’s development.”

Professor Booy’s response to this was, “… hoping that you’ll get some kind of boost to your immune system has never been proved for measles. It’s a theory that’s been around for decades and there’s no proof for it.”

I interjected with, “I beg to differ. There is proof. There are studies in the medical literature which show that it is beneficial. For instance, a person who has had measles as a child is less likely to get chronic diseases in their adult life. And that is in the medical literature.” [Read more…]

At long last the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe is coming to Australia!

It is showing first in Brisbane, on Thursday December 6. Find the Press Release here, with all the information.

VaxXed Press Release Australia

Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe is a documentary film detailing the claims made by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Senior Scientist, Dr. William ‘Bill’ Thompson.

Dr. Thompson led the agency’s 2004 study on Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine, investigating its alleged link to autism. Dr. Thompson confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report, data that revealed a causal relationship between MMR vaccine and autism. [Read more…]

Why The No Jab No Pay Legislation Is Flawed

By 1 Comment

child health no jab no pay

At the start of this year the No Jab No Pay law came into effect here in Australia – parents on low incomes are denied certain child payments if their children, up to the age of 18, have not had every vaccine on the government’s recommended schedule.

In addition, the way was paved for No Jab No PLay laws in the states (note the L in Play), where working parents who don’t vaccinate cannot put their children into child care – this has been taken up by Victoria and Queensland, which has a watered-down version, all up making Victoria the most draconian state in the world regarding vaccine mandates, at this time.
