Is it even a vaccine that should be used at all? Suspending the DTaP and explaining the reason for stopping its use could significantly shake the public’s confidence in all vaccines; having said that, to continue to use this harmful vaccine is clearly being done to protect the vaccine program, its policies and its profits. It is clearly not to protect children. Who is going to allow their child to get a vaccine that increases their chance of getting pertussis up to four times greater than if they had never been vaccinated—if the parents had that information? I suspect almost no one. It goes without saying that if the public knew the real science then virtually no one would consent; there would just be dissent, which is as it should be as that would be the catalyst for improved and safer vaccines, as well as encouraging modalities the enhance natural immunity.
What are a nation’s public health objectives if they aren’t about protecting children and the public? In the US, public health objectives seem to be to vaccinate as many children as possible with as many vaccines as possible, deny AEFI even exists, and terminate informed consent.
Are Safe Vaccines Even Possible?
When compromised government agencies, together with NGOs they control through funding, are the providers of vaccine safety information, that makes for a very unsafe situation. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) states these sources are not reliable.21
In the Fall of 2018, the BMJ published “Pandemrix vaccine: why was the public not told of early warning signs?”22 This article discussed the unearthed GSK internal reports suggesting problems with the vaccine’s safety. Editor Doshi asks what this means for the future of transparency during public health emergencies, because we are dealing with a situation where truth and safety are not part of operation. However, a public health emergency is taking place now because a virtually unregulated, well-financed industry colludes with the very agencies, organizations, and academic institutions the public relies on to help protect them from disease.
When Is a Poison Not a Poison?
Using aluminum as an example, in the US, children receive over 50 injections and over 200 antigens in those injections. If you count pregnancy vaccines of TDaP and flu, that would be four more doses. The total amount of aluminum injected is over 10,000 mcg, but how safe is this? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a policy in 1996 called Aluminum Toxicity in Infants and Children,23 leaving little doubt that aluminum is a neurotoxin even at very small amounts.
Mold et al24 looked at the brains of 10 donors who had autism and demonstrated they contain some of the highest levels of aluminum ever recorded in human brain, and the aluminum was found in the brain’s immune cells, the microglia and the cells that provide support and protection for the neurons, the glia. How does a 15-year-old have as much aluminum in his brain as someone who is many decades older who has died of familial Alzheimer’s disease? What does this mean for today’s generation of children who receive 5,000 mcg of aluminum in vaccines by the age of 18 months and up to 5,250 additional mcg if all recommended boosters, HPV and meningitis vaccines are administered? Shaw would argue it is destroying their brains.25 Gherardi et al state:
Aluminum has long been identified as a neurotoxic metal, affecting memory, cognition and psychomotor control, altering neurotransmission and synaptic activity, damaging the blood–brain barrier (BBB), exerting pro-oxidant effects, activating microglia and neuroinflammation, depressing the cerebral glucose metabolism and mitochondrial functions, interfering with transcriptional activity, and promoting beta-amyloid and neurofilament aggregation.26
The danger of using aluminum-based adjuvants was further described by in Asin et al27 in 2018: “Al-based adjuvants induce persistent, sterile, subcutaneous granulomas with macrophage-driven translocation of Al to regional lymph nodes. Local translocation of Al may induce further accumulation in distant tissues and be related to the appearance of system.”
At the end of 2018, the same researchers published a study28 describing behavioral changes in sheep after having received repetitive injections of Al-containing products, explaining some of the clinical signs observed in ovine ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune/Inflammatory syndrome induced by Adjuvants). Vaccinated lambs received the same aluminum adjuvant that is used in human vaccines and then began aggressively biting the wool from other sheep, pacing restlessly and overeating. The research effort was made to understand a new disease that had decimated the Spanish sheep industry between 2008 and 2010 following a government-mandated bluetongue vaccine campaign.
Obviously, if several toxins are in the mix together, the risk of a toxic synergy taking place is far greater than the additive effects of each toxin; but if no effort is made to study what that synergy is, there is no appreciation of how toxic a brew is created. It is pataphysics to believe the toxic metals in vaccines are safe.
A risk is not acceptable if there is a
reasonable alternative that offers the
same or greater benefit but avoids the risk.
Common sense alone should stop anyone from injecting the most toxic non-radioactive element into the human body. Nevertheless, in August of 2018, the CDC Immunization Safety Office posted a “fact” sheet that maintains that “Thimerosal in vaccines is not harmful to children,” in spite of abundant evidence29 to the contrary. The fact sheet parades their collection of CDC-controlled thimerosal-related studies (“conducted by CDC or with CDC’s involvement”) that it has used for years to hush-up thimerosal detractors.
Thimerosal is 49.55% percent ethylmercury by weight and is an organic mercury compound with toxicity comparable to methylmercury,30 but ethylmercury is far more toxic to and persistent in the brain, where it has a propensity to accumulate as inorganic mercury,31 with an estimated half-life of as long as twenty-seven years.32
All eight studies included in the CDC fact sheet involve lead or co-authors accused of fraud or known to have been involved in behind-closed-doors data manipulation or weighed down by serious conflicts of interest. Dr. Geier et all write:
Thimerosal was not scrutinized as part of U.S. pharmaceutical products until the 1980s, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finally recognized its demonstrated ineffectiveness and toxicity in topical pharmaceutical products and began to eliminate it from these. Ironically, while Thimerosal was being eliminated from topicals, it was becoming more and more ubiquitous in the recommended immunization schedule for infants and pregnant women. Furthermore, Thimerosal continues to be administered, as part of mandated immunizations and other pharmaceutical products, in the United States and globally. The ubiquitous and largely unchecked place of Thimerosal in pharmaceuticals, therefore, represents a medical crisis.33
Manufacturers use thimerosal in some single-dose and multidose vaccines to impede bacterial growth during the manufacturing process even when it is not being used as a preservative. The CDC states that “when Thimerosal is used this way, it is removed later in the process” and only “trace amounts” remain (no more than one microgram per dose), which is extremely misleading given the known toxicity of mercury and some vaccines have as much as 25 mcg of mercury; but the FDA will obfuscate and state that is the same amount in a can of tuna fish, so nothing to be concerned about. Except this just brings to the fore the toxic load from eating fish, it does not placate concerns about mercury being injected into infants rather than orally ingested—indeed most of the mercury in fish is not bioavailable because it is ingested orally.34 The FDA highlights the faux-science that will come out of compromised public health agencies.
Grandjean and Landrigan observed that the developing human brain is uniquely vulnerable to mercury and other neurotoxins, often “at much lower exposure levels than had previously been thought to be safe.”35 The authors also noted that developmental neurotoxicity occurs at far lower exposure levels than “the concentrations that affect adult brain function.” Others have argued that there is no safe level of organic mercury.36 One study showed that thimerosal diminished the viability of human cells in the lab at a concentration one-fiftieth that of methylmercury.37 Vaccine injury deniers will state that ethylmercury disappears from the bloodstream more quickly than methylmercury—as if that means anything if you don’t know where it goes after that. But we do know—it migrates quickly to organs and stays there.38
“No worries,” the vaccine enthusiasts say, for the WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety states that “no additional studies of the safety of [Thimerosal] in vaccines are warranted.” Don’t expect the WHO to state the reality: “The ubiquitous and largely unchecked place of Thimerosal in pharmaceuticals, therefore, represents a medical crisis.”33
