The Hidden Costs of Vaccination: Health Risks and Industry Influence

Vaccines are promoted globally as a key to public health, with life-saving potential. However, a growing body of evidence and vocal critics argue that we may not fully understand the long-term health impacts of vaccination.

Beyond the purported benefits lies a history marred by reports of adverse effects, underreported statistics, and a strong financial influence that casts a shadow over public safety.

The March 1999 “Vaccines” feature in Parenting magazine offered the expected propaganda from a Time, Inc. subsidiary. Time-Warner, Inc., the parent company, is a corporate member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Both Richard D. Parsons, Time’s president, and Norman Pearlstine, TIME’s Editor-in-Chief, are long-standing members of the CFR. Among the CFR’s published policy objectives is significant global depopulation, including a reduction of half the current U.S. population. This population reduction initiative is heavily funded and administered by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both closely connected to the Merck pharmaceutical company—the world’s leading vaccine producer. – Dr. Len Horowitz, “Parenting with Deadly Timely Propaganda”

The FDA’s Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS) receives approximately 10,000 to 12,000 reports of serious vaccine-related reactions each year, with around 1% resulting in fatalities. However, an investigation by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) highlights findings from a New York study suggesting that 97.5% of vaccine-related deaths and disabilities go unreported to or by the FDA. This implies that the actual number of annual vaccine-related fatalities in the United States may be closer to 1,000, with disabilities potentially reaching 100,000. Additionally, the broad diagnosis of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which claims up to 10,000 infant lives annually, has been observed to “coincidentally” occur shortly after immunizations or vaccinations.

Vaccines are another concern. Contaminants such as cancer-causing viruses, DNA fragments, and mercury have been discovered in vaccines, leading to the conclusion that the entire vaccine supply is compromised. Meanwhile, the government continues to mandate an increasing number of vaccinations for children. In 2001, The Chicago Tribune reported that 60 top scientists convened in Chicago to present compelling evidence that cancer-causing viruses from monkeys are present in many vaccines. In the United Kingdom, a recent poll revealed that over 80% of the population opposes the mandatory administration of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Additionally, a news anchor has publicly claimed that this vaccine caused brain damage in their child. Autism rates have surged by over 2000% and continue to climb in the industrialized world, correlating with the rise in mandated vaccinations. – Alex Jones, 911 Descent into Tyranny

The long-term adverse effects of vaccines have been documented and include chronic immunological and neurological conditions such as ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, allergies, and cancer.

A German study identified correlations between vaccinations and 22 neurological conditions, including attention deficit and epilepsy. The concern lies in the possibility that viral elements in vaccines may persist and mutate within the human body for years, leading to unpredictable consequences. Millions of children are effectively part of a vast, unrefined experiment, with no substantial or organized effort by the medical community to monitor adverse side effects or assess long-term outcomes.

However, individual doctors may not be entirely at fault. As medical students, they are rarely encouraged to question the curriculum, which often excludes information like that presented in this report. Ironically, medicine is a profession that heavily enforces conformity, leaving little room for dissenting opinions. Physicians cannot warn patients about risks they are unaware of, and once they begin practicing, their limited time for further education perpetuates their reliance on the system. This system often discourages independent research and the formation of personal viewpoints. Those few who challenge the status quo risk professional ostracism and remain legally obligated to comply with the mandates of the system. – Alan Philips, Dispelling Vaccination Myths (http://www.tetrahedron.org)

In the December 1994 Medical Post, Dr. Guylaine Lanctot, author of the best-seller Medical Mafia, stated, “The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a disaster for the immune system. It actually causes many illnesses. We are, in fact, altering our genetic code through vaccination… Ten years from now, we will realize that vaccines were the greatest crime against humanity.”

After conducting an independent review of medical literature on vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner concluded, “There is no evidence whatsoever supporting the ability of vaccines to prevent any diseases. On the contrary, there is substantial evidence that they cause serious side effects.”

For decades, more than half of all childhood “immunizations”—approximately 12 out of the 18 average doses—contained the preservative Thimerosal, which is derived from mercury, the second most toxic metal known to man (after uranium). This exposure equates to around 200 micrograms of mercury by the age of two, 30 to 40 times the safe levels for adults. Additionally, most vaccines contain formaldehyde, a highly toxic substance for which no safe amount exists in the human body.

Dr. Boyd Haley, Chairman of the Chemistry Department at the University of Kentucky and a leading expert on mercury poisoning, stated, “Thimerosal is one of the most toxic compounds I am aware of. I cannot think of anything more lethal.”

Before the 1990s, only 1 in every 10,000 children was diagnosed with autism. Today, more than 1 in every 150 children born in America is diagnosed with autism, and the pattern often shows that it is those children who were “immunized” who begin experiencing seizures or a decline in mental abilities shortly after receiving vaccinations. The Amish, a community of approximately 200,000 who religiously oppose vaccinations, have never reported a case of autism. Statistically, they should have over 100 cases of autism within their population, yet they do not. Despite living amidst the general population in Pennsylvania, where autism rates are rapidly increasing, the Amish remain unaffected. This strongly suggests that Thimerosal and Formaldehyde in vaccines are contributing to “autism” in children, “Alzheimer’s” in the elderly, and a variety of other emerging neurological disorders.

“Contaminated live viral vaccines have been a significant factor in spreading diseases such as AIDS and potentially others, including chronic fatigue syndrome, certain leukemias, and possibly Gulf War Syndrome, to large populations. Modern live viral vaccines, like the oral polio vaccine mandated for children, continue to be contaminated with simian (monkey) viruses, as they are cultivated in monkey kidney cells. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) overlooks the presence of up to 100 live monkey virus contaminants per vaccine dose and is restricted from disclosing this information to healthcare professionals and scientists due to pharmaceutical industry-imposed proprietary laws and non-disclosure agreements.”
