Deconstructing HERD IMMUNITY (LANCET INFECTIOUS DISEASE JOURNAL)

(Study) Herd immunity and the herd severity effect

Vaccination reduces morbidity and mortality by making infections and related diseases less common. A natural conclusion might be that breakthrough cases of vaccine-preventable disease would also become less severe. However, the opposite seems to be true for diseases that are more severe when acquired after childhood, according to the study by Nina Fefferman and Elena Naumova1 published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Their finding is somewhat counterintuitive: higher vaccination rates that approach herd immunity levels mean that fewer people overall get sick, but those who get sick might have much more severe illnesses than in previous generations.  The study is not open access

(Study) Dangers of vaccine refusal near the herd immunity threshold: a modelling study.

Findings

Our calculations show that negative outcomes are 4·5 times worse for measles, 2·2 times worse for chickenpox, and 5·8 times worse for rubella than would be expected in a pre-vaccine era in which the average age at infection would have been lower.

Interpretation

As vaccination makes preventable illness rarer, for some diseases, it also increases the expected severity of each case. Because estimates of case risks rely on data for severity generated during a pre-vaccine era they underestimate negative outcomes in the modern post-vaccine epidemiological landscape. Physicians and parents should understand when making decisions about their children’s health and safety that remaining unvaccinated in a predominantly vaccine-protected community exposes their children to the most severe possible outcomes for many preventable diseases.

VLA Comment:  Another study showing that it is the vaccinated that is putting the unvaccinated at risk. Added to these two studies, several new studies show that natural measles protect against cancer.  Go to link…

Dr. Andrew Wakefield: IGNITE THE TRUTH Conference

Leave a reply

Dr. Wakefield’s recommendation towards the end of the conference is to present to legislators the facts of the two whistleblowers, Thompson and Crowely, who worked for the CDC and Merck respectively, and whose facts are now being presented to Congress and through Fed Court. Both have hard evidence, internal documents, insider emails to prove that vaccine manufacturers regularly falsify data and that the vaccines are neither safe or effective, as exemplified in these cases.

OKLAHOMA CITY –

The flu vaccine is always strongly recommended, but one Oklahoma City woman says the flu shot nearly paralyzed her. She says she got the vaccine five years ago and has been working with doctors and attorneys ever since to prove her case to the federal government.

Once a bubbly, active freshman at the University of Oklahoma, Sydney Rich had asthma, but says it was the H1N1 flu shot in 2010 that drastically changed her life three months after she got the vaccine.

“I was in a coma for about three weeks, and then when I woke up I couldn’t move,” Sydney said.

Now five years later, at 22 years old, Sydney is wheelchair-bound and can barely move the left side of her body.

Cytochrome P450 testing covered by Health policies

Read Wellmark policy

10% of Caucasians are “non metabolizers”.  This means that they cannot metabolize more than 50% of today’s drugs such as adderall, and other SSRIS.  It is suspected that the heinous trend of school shootings and suicides are caused by non metabolizers who are given psychiatric drugs without first being tested for their ability to metabolize them.  Because this test is not standard of care hospitals and doctors who destroy lives by giving counter indicated medication can not be successfully sued.  There is a movement to make this test standard of care but it is being thwarted by the invested pharmacuetical companies who would stand to lose billions of dollars if the public knew.

Description: 

The cytochrome p450 (CYP450) family is involved in the metabolism of a significant proportion of currently administered drugs, and genetic variants in cytochrome p450 are associated with altered metabolism of many drugs. It is proposed that genetic testing for cytochrome p450 variants may assist in selecting and dosing drugs that are impacted by these genetic variants.

Drug efficacy and toxicity vary substantially between individuals.  Because drugs and doses are typically adjusted to meet individual requirements as needed by using trial and error, clinical consequences may include a prolonged time to optimal therapy and serious adverse events.

Various factors may influence the variability of drug effects, including age, liver function, concomitant diseases, nutrition, smoking, and drug-drug interactions. Inherited (germline) DNA sequence variation (polymorphisms) in genes coding for drug metabolizing enzymes, drug receptors, drug transporters, and molecules involved signal transduction pathways also may have major effects on the activity of those molecules and also on the efficacy and toxicity of the drug.

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual’s genetic inheritance affects the body’s response to drugs. It may be possible to predict therapeutic failures or severe adverse drug reactions in individual patients by testing for important DNA polymorphisms (genotyping) in genes related to the metabolic pathway (pharmacokinetics) or single transduction pathway (pharmacodynamics) of the drug. Potentially, test results could be used to optimize drug choice and/or dose for more effective therapy, avoid serious adverse effects and decrease medical costs.

Some CYP450 enzyme genes are highly polymorphic, resulting in some enzyme variants that have variable metabolic capacities among individuals, and some with little to no impact on activity.

Individuals with a lack of function activity in these enzymes (CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, etc.) can be classified according to how fast they metabolize medications:

  • Poor metabolizers (PMs): lack active enzyme gene alleles, they will process a certain drug more slowly than normal because of the missing enzyme(s), the medication can build up in their system which can increase the likelihood that it will cause side effects. The individual might still be able to benefit from the medication, but at lower dosages.
  • Intermediate metabolizers (IMs): have one active and one inactive enzyme gene allele, these individuals have a reduced enzyme function in processing drugs, they may not process some medications as well as a normal metabolizer would. This can increase risk of side effects and drug interactions.
  • Normal metabolizers (extensive metabolizers Ems): these individuals have 2 copies (alleles) of the most common (wild type) DNA sequence of a particular CYP450 enzyme gene resulting in an active molecule and are termed extensive metabolizers. Medications are processed normally, these individuals are more likely to benefit from treatment and have fewer side effects than people who don’t process the same medication(s) as well.
  • Ultra-rapid metabolizers (UMs): individuals with more than 2 alleles of an active enzyme gene, which cause the medications to leave the body too quickly and often before they have had a chance to work properly. These individuals will likely need a higher than usual dose of medications.

Severity of side effects

When other health experts re-evaluated those cases, they determined 1,112 (44%) to be serious. The initial onset of symptoms occurred several weeks to a year after the HPV vaccine was given. They included: headache, dizziness, muscle weakness and pain, nausea, hypersomnia, learning difficulty, impaired writing, photophobia, tremors of arms, feet and fingers, joint pain, irregular menstruation, gait disturbance, memory loss, skin eczema and acne.

Girls who had adverse effects from the HPV vaccine were variously diagnosed with:

  1. Higher brain dysfunction
  2. Guillain-Barré syndrome
  3. Multiple sclerosis
  4. ADEM: acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
  5. SSPE: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
  6. CRPS: Complex regional pain syndrome
  7. POTS: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
  8. Anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome
  9. SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus
  10. Rheumatoid arthritis
  11. Chronic fatigue syndrome
  12. Fibromyalgia
  13. Cushing’s syndrome (exposure to high level of cortisol)
  14. Hashimoto’s disease (immune system attacks the thyroid)
  15. Hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin, induces breast development and lactation)

Laboratory findings included:

  1. Normal blood chemistry
  2. No inflammatory finding in the blood
  3. Increased pro-inflammatory cytokines in the spinal fluid (IL-2, IL-10, TNF-à)
  4. Reduced brain blood flow by perfusion scintigraphy
  5. High leukocyte sensitivity against aluminum.

 

HPV vaccine contains toxic aluminum

Vaccines often contain an adjuvant, which is an additional chemical added to provoke the body’s immune response to the vaccine. The HPV vaccines contained an adjuvant that consisted of an aluminum compound, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate (AAHS).

Current research strongly implicates aluminum adjuvants in various inflammatory neurological and autoimmune disorders in both humans and animals. For example, a recent research paper explained that nanomaterials such as this aluminum adjuvant can be transported by immune system cells first into the blood, lymph nodes, and spleen, and in some cases may penetrate into the brain. [1] This type of access throughout the body is potentially life-threatening. The brain symptoms are often the most delayed because of the time the aluminum takes to travel from the blood through the blood-brain-barrier into the brain.

Aluminum accumulates in neurons in the brain, and it is toxic to neurons, causing a variety of pathological conditions. It inhibits uptake of dopamine and serotonin, which are important neurotransmitters in the brain. Aluminum toxicity is a known factor in Alzheimer’s disease, and may contribute symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Dementia resulting from kidney dialysis is related to aluminum and results in memory loss, loss of coordination, confusion and disorientation. In animal experiments, rabbits given aluminum showed difficulty in memory retention and difficulty in learning.

Harvard Trained Immunologist Demolishes California Legislation That Terminates Vaccine Exemptions

In summary: 1) due to the properties of modern vaccines, non-vaccinated individuals pose no greater risk of transmission of polio, diphtheria, pertussis, and numerous non-type b H. influenzae strains than vaccinated individuals do, non-vaccinated individuals pose virtually no danger of transmission of hepatitis B in a school setting, and tetanus is not transmissible at all; 2) there is a significantly elevated risk of emergency room visits after childhood vaccination appointments attesting that vaccination is  not risk-free; 3) outbreaks of measles cannot be entirely prevented even if we had nearly perfect vaccination compliance; and 4) an effective method of preventing measles and other viral diseases in vaccine-ineligible infants and the immunocompromised, immunoglobulin, is available for those who may be exposed to these diseases. 

Taken together, these four facts make it clear that discrimination in a public school setting against children who are not vaccinated for reasons of conscience is completely unwarranted as the vaccine status of conscientious objectors poses no undue public health risk. Read letter from Dr. Obukhanych, PHD, Immunology

SOTN Editor note:  When the California Senate refuses to consider authoritative scientific evidence which categorically proves the dangerous vaccine side effects on the schoolchildren, something is very wrong. Such conduct by the Senate constitutes criminal action that endangers the lives and welfare of children. Their official behavior must be acknowledged for what it is — CRIMINAL — and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Mitochondrial Iatrogenic (medication induced) Damage – Dr. Gary Kohls, MD

American-Iatrogenic-Assoc

Dr Kohls is a retired physician who practiced holistic mental health care for the last decade of his career. Virtually all of his patients exhibited iatrogenic (prescription drug-related) syndromes such as are mentioned in the article above. In retrospect, those patients were actually manifesting iatrogenic mitochondrial diseases.

“Mitochondrial damage is now understood to play a role in a wide range of seemingly unrelated disorders such as schizophrenia, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Recently it has become known that iatrogenic (physician or treatment-caused) mitochondrial damage explains many adverse reactions from medications. All classes of psychotropic drugs have been documented to damage mitochondria, as have statin medications, analgesics such as acetaminophen, and many others.”— John Neustadt, MD and Steven Pieczenik, MD

What if a vaccine could be delivered by simply applying a patch? That’s Mark Prausnitz’s goal: creating a nickel-sized bandage-like device covered with 100 microscopic needles that would puncture the skin, then dissolve to get the vaccine into the body.

First up for a patch trial? The measles vaccine. Putting the vaccine in a patch eliminates the need for a medical professional and a refrigerator. “It would enable us to get the vaccine to a lot more people,” says Prausnitz.  Read more…
