Through this powerful 30-second ad, Karen Kain reveals how her daughter Lorrin’s life radically changed 2 hours after being vaccinated as an infant. At the end, Karen appeals to all to maintain parental choice in vaccination as the movement grows to strip parents of their right to informed consent with their children’s healthcare decisions.
VLA comment: You can tell this was a perfect infant….
Two former Merck & Co Inc scientists accusing the drugmaker of falsifying tests of its exclusive mumps vaccine said in a court filing on Monday that Merck is refusing to respond to questions about the efficacy of the vaccine.
Attorneys at Constantine Cannon, who represent the scientists, asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Lynne Sitarski of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to compel Merck to respond to their discovery request, which asks the company to give the efficacy of the vaccine as a percentage.
Instead of answering the question, the letter said, Merck has been consistently evasive, using “cut-and-paste” answers saying it cannot run a new clinical trial to determine the current efficacy, and providing only data from 50 years ago.
“Merck should not be permitted to raise as one of its principal defenses that its vaccine has a high efficacy, which is accurately represented on the product’s label, but then refuse to answer what it claims that efficacy actually is,” the letter said.
A representative of Merck could not immediately be reached for comment. (See: Merck accused of stonewalling in mumps vaccine antitrust lawsuit)
Newsweek (June 9, 2015)
The American Medical Association (AMA), one of the largest and most influential associations of medical doctors in the country, today endorsed putting an end to religious exemptions to immunization requirements.
“Under new policy, the AMA will seek more stringent state immunization requirements to allow exemptions only for medical reasons,” the organization said in a press release.
The AMA issued recommendations to state health departments and physicians designed to banish non-medical exemptions from the landscape of American medicine.
VLA CommentUpdate on California bill: Merck won. SB277: 12 to 6; it passed “Health Committee”. There was mention of an amendment so it should have to go back to the senate floor for a vote, I believe. However, if that amendment (which I believe was from us) fails to get attached (which seems likely), that apparently is the end of the game. (basecamp)
Adjuvant Review Synopsis:
• Adjuvants are compounds incorporated into vaccines to enhance
immunogenicity.
• Several of thesemolecules have been approved, including aluminium
salts, oil-in-water emulsions (MF59, AS03 and AF03), virosomes and
AS04.
• Adjuvants have recently been implicated in the new syndrome named
“ASIA—Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants”.
• The pathogenesis of the ASIA syndrome is founded on the hypothesis
that an exposure to an adjuvant may trigger the development of an
autoimmune disease.
• Several different adjuvants exist and each one has specific characteristics
and a different mechanism of action that could affect both the
immune response and the risk of adverse events.
• All available adjuvants, despite their different mechanisms of action,
have been implicated to the ASIA syndrome.
• Our analysis highlights our current understanding of the mechanisms
of action of available adjuvants and the mechanisms by which these
components may determinate autoimmunity. Adjuvant Review study…
VLA Comment: What about the adjuvants in Monsanto’s Round Up, companion to GMO seeds?
There is already evidence that glyphosate is an endocrine disrupting chemical (see later), but the extent of the problem is far greater than it appears. Different glyphosate formulations vary in toxicity, mainly because some of them contain adjuvants that are either toxic by themselves, or else exert synergistic effects with glyphosate. It has long been known that Monsanto’s formulation Roundup, the most widely used glyphosate herbicide, is far more damaging than glyphosate itself (reviewed in [5] Ban GMOs Now, ISIS special report)
…and colleagues at University of Caen in France clearly demonstrated that POEA (polyethoxylated tallowamine, a major adjuvant surfactant in Roundup) alone was by far the most cytotoxic for several human cell types, at concentrations a hundredth to ten-thousandth that of glyphosate itself and other formulations without POEA [6]. Another study from the same laboratory also showed that Roundup exposure damages testosterone producing Leydig cells from mature rat testis at concentrations a tenth of agricultural use and beginning 1 hour after exposure [7]. Within 24-48 h, the same formulation was toxic to other cells inducing cell death, in contrast to glyphosate alone, which is only toxic to Sertoli cells (feeder cells for germ cells). At 48 h, Roundup induces apoptosis (programmed cell death involving DNA fragmentation) in germ cells and in Sertoli/germ cells co-culture. At the very low, non-toxic concentration of 1 ppm, both Roundup and glyphosate decreased testosterone level by 35 %. These experiments expose a major inadequacy in the regulatory regime, which still regards POEA in Roundup as an inert adjuvant for which no risk assessment is required.http://www.i-sis.org.
“In Europe, France is the only country to maintain the policy of compulsory vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis,” EurActiv reports.
“Portugal has kept compulsory vaccination for diphtheria and polio, and Belgium just for polio. Elsewhere in Europe, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and others have all abolished compulsory vaccination.” Read more…
In total 15 countries do not have any mandatory vaccinations; the remaining 14 have at least one mandatory vaccination included in their programme.
Information was collected from all 27 EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. In total 15 countries do not have any mandatory vaccinations; the remaining 14 have at least one mandatory vaccination included in their programme. Vaccination against polio is mandatory for both children and adults in 12 countries; diphtheria and tetanus vaccination in 11 countries and hepatitis B vaccination in 10 countries. For eight of the 15 vaccines considered, some countries have a mixed strategy of recommended and mandatory vaccinations. Mandatory vaccination may be considered as a way of improving compliance to vaccination programmes. However, compliance with many programmes in Europe is high, using only recommendations. Read more…
VLA comment: Mandate Insanity- Parents and researchers are challenged by the establishment if they dare to correlate an adverse reaction to a vaccine within days of administering a vaccine. And those we elect as lawmakers are blind to see that the US mandated vaccine program correlates with one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the developed world. Despite our low infant mortality standing based on science and statistics, apparently it doesn’t stop the United States from imposing its view and taking a “worldwide vaccine leadership” role to disable generations and generations of humanity
After getting the flu shot….
Over the next couple of weeks, the soreness got worse. Then, one evening, with her husband and two sons out of town for the weekend, Smith realized she couldn’t stand up. She was stuck on her living room couch.Her neighbor happened to stop by, and Smith asked her to call an ambulance.The paramedics arrived. As they loaded her onto a stretcher, Smith began screaming. “The doctors later told me the nerves were all inflamed,” she says. The pain “was like having third-degree burns on my legs.”
In the ambulance, the paramedics asked Smith if she had recently received a flu shot. At the hospital, the nurses asked the same question.“I was like, why does everybody keep asking me if I’ve had a flu shot?” she says. The nurses told her paralysis was a rare, but known side effect.
