Whooping Cough Outbreaks & Vaccine Failures
Reports of whooping cough outbreaks in California and in other states this summer are nothing new. Every four to five years – no matter how high the vaccination rate is - there are reports of whooping cough increases.
Whooping cough is a respiratory disease. Toxins in Bordetella pertussis bacteria stimulate the production of large amounts of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the airways of tiny babies and children, making it difficult for them to take a breath without vomiting, choking and making a whooping sound as they struggle to breathe.
There is an acellular pertussis vaccine – DTaP - which was licensed for American babies in 1996. DTaP replaced an older, very reactive whole cell pertussis vaccine - DPT - that was associated with more cases of high fever, collapse/shock, convulsions, brain inflammation and permanent brain damage.
It is well known that pertussis vaccines, which can contain various amounts of bioactive toxins and also aluminum and mercury additives, have killed and brain injured some children. Over half of the 2,480 awards for vaccine injury and death totaling $2 billion dollars made under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act involve pertussis vaccine.
Pertussis vaccination rates are very high in the U.S. According to the CDC, 84 percent of children under age three have received four DTaP shots. By the time American children enter kindergarten nearly every child has gotten all the CDC recommended pertussis shots. In 2009, the CDC said that the proportion of totally unvaccinated children in America is only six hundredths of one percent (0.06).
Even with super high pertussis vaccine coverage in America and other countries like the Netherlands, Australia, Finland and Canada, whooping cough disease cannot be prevented. There are two main reasons for this fact.
First, pertussis vaccines widely used since the 1950’s have not prevented whooping cough disease from circulating in vaccinated populations. Unknown numbers of children and adults, who have gotten all government recommended pertussis shots, can and do develop whooping cough or are carriers without symptoms. Because pertussis vaccine immunity is only temporary and does not last, health officials are now telling teenagers and adults to get more booster shots. But that is not going to matter if scientific evidence that B. pertussis organisms have mutated and become vaccine-resistant turns out to be correct.
A second important reason is that another Bordetella organism – parapertussis – also can cause whooping cough. B. parapertussis symptoms, while often milder, can look exactly like B. pertussis. But doctors rarely recognize or test for parapertussis. And there is no vaccine for parapertussis.
The DTaP vaccine given 5 times to children under age 6 and booster doses for teenagers and adults does not protect against whooping cough caused by B. parapertussis. In highly vaccinated countries like the U.S., parpertussis is on the rise and it is estimated that perhaps 30 percent or more of whooping cough disease is actually caused by parapertussis.

It looks like they are finally going more public on the specifics of the whooping cough outbreaks - and no, it's not due to better diagnosing. It's due to the vaccines forcing a selective advantage in bacterial strains that now lack the pertactin protein:

Sorry, Jenny McCarthy, you are gonna have to try harder if you want to claim a rightful space next to the the pharmaceutical companies and the CDC for causing infectious diseases to continue to hurt the public by creating new and interesting variations on the old ones. It's kind of like how pharma patents work - to keep the product under firm profiteering control, you just tweak it a bit and it takes on a whole new life, good for what - another 20 years?

Thanks Carol; It is interesting to finally see a face that is responsible for my family's 30 years of legacy of pain.
the American Medical Association - author James Cherry said,"In almost 6,000 children there is no evidence of neurological damage." hmmmmm 1982 - I was at the University of Kentucky Hospital in July of that year trying to get my duaghter's temperature down from 106 to 105. She had Kawasaki disease. Six weeks after her fourth DPT shot, six weeks of a ill health that finally came to a head as Kawasaki disease.
James Cherry was the one that helped fudge the numbers on a study for DPT injuries conducted by FCLU and the FDA - he ordered a 48 hour cut off for the study to include only reactions in that time period. Well-- that study would have included my son in spite of Dr. Cherry's efforts because in 1987 - within six hours my son reacted to a DPT shot.
In March of 1990, Cherry wrote an editorial in JAMA urging revision of the contraindications to pertussis vaccination and an end to the federal vaccine-injury compensation system for children injured or killed by mandated vaccines. He called pertussis vaccine encephalopathy a "myth" and blamed its perpertuation on the sensationalistic media and organization of a group of crazy parents. Hmmmm Those were the years that I was looking for a lawyer and reading vaccine injury tables that was denying kids that had any temperature over 101 temperature when they reacted. Also the temperatures had to be validated and on record. Emergency rooms did not keep records - at least - the rural ones did not!
James Cherry had ties to the vaccine manufactures even though he was the most influential vaccine policymakers in AMERICA. Well SURRRR-PRIZE; SURRRR-PRIZE. The ties goes back as far as the early 80s. He was the main author in the 1987 UCLA pertussis- vaccine benifit / risk study funded by the FDA. He was on the ACIP committee fo the CDC - (same as our beloved Paul Offit). In 1988 he admitted to earning 50,000 a year. Let me see 1988 - as I recall -a good salary at that time was 12,000 - we were above average earning 16,000. That was what our taxes was a go'in to - to pay dear Cherry his over grossed salary as he destroyed our family. He also received 450,000 as gifts from Lederle labs. I am sure Connaught company - the lab that made the vaccine that did my family is in there somewhere too. Yeap, mentioned on the next page.
There are also some more really high priced numbers - but no need to bore eveyone with more $$$$ price tags of 400,000 dollars!!! and on and on and on.

Cherry is hardly impartial as documented in _DPT: A Shot in the Dark_. The book is searchable on amazon.
Posted by: Carol | December 19, 2010 at 07:38 PM
Well; Carol that was an interesting piece of video!
I think Dr. Cherry is a dangerous man! He seems to be in a high position and yet lacks everything that a nessacary to be successfulleader: just one example of what he lacks would be- natural curiosity!
The CDC was it's usual self, - "Change? What? why change? No comment"!
Patrons99: Your comments were very interesting. It could be the damn vaccine itself! Goodness knows that my kids after their DPT vaccines always got fevers, coughs, ear infections, and lots of pneumonia! It would not be the first time in history that the vaccine was the source of the actually infection it was suppose to stop.
Funny how all the family in this video was cocooning and vaccinated in the first place, and yet; this infant got the disease anyway and they are not really sure from where??? Perhaps one of the older vaccinated brothers or vaccinated father bring pertusis into the household by the vaccine?
Of course the new P3 strain makes evolutional sense, and it is more than possible that the pharma companies made a vaccine for the wrong strain of pertusis! Makes perfect sense because they all seem to rather lazy to me and not all that -- for lack of better word (caring) -
Can't you just hear them say "Oh, do you know how much money it would take to make another vaccine for the actually disease! That is a lot of work too, and why do it when we have a vaccine for another strain of the pertusis? That old vaccine is good enough! The FDA will make us test a new one, and knowing how bad and how many lives and minds the old Pertusis vaccine destroyed well the FDA just might not approve of the new one (wink-wink)"!

Thank you, Carol! The KPBS documentary is VERY thought-provoking.
It raises many questions which urge detailed analysis. This epidemic may prove to be a microcosm of the greater risks of ALL vaccines and mandated vaccination. The “Whooping Cough” epidemic is VERY important to understand and analyze. “Cocooning?” PLEEEASE! This is more vaccine “madness”. This is why we should not take a nuanced approach to vaccine safety. They are ALL dangerous.
Several questions come to mind:
Why San Diego? San Diego has a heavily-vaccinated military population. Is it really a new strain of “bug”? How do we know that it’s not just the respiratory epithelium, the pulmonary “terrain”, of the heavily-vaccinated population that has changed? How do we know that the dysfunctional immune system, the altered “terrain” of the heavily-vaccinated population, is not selecting-out a particular strain of microbe?
How do we know that the heavily-vaccinated population is not causing antigenic drift and/or evolutionary pressure on the “germs”?
Does the increased incidence of “whooping cough” parallel the increased number of vaccines on the vaccine schedules? Why waning immunity? Are pulmonary macrophages involved? Are inflammatory cytokines being stimulated to attack immunologically-vulnerable respiratory epithelium? Why the predilection for respiratory/pulmonary symptoms? Last years “flu” season seemed to have a greater predilection for respiratory symptoms. Do you recall the “pneumonic” flu drills of 2009? Are post-vaccination cases of bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pneumonias, being under-reported to VAERS? Are vaccines causing a cumulative, delayed, pathologic immune response? How do we know that vaccines are not causing cumulative subclinical injury to the lungs with each inoculation?
How do we know that the a generalized increased incidence in respiratory infections is not related to (a) the increased number of mandated vaccines, (b) the increased number of vaccines on the vaccine schedules, ( c) the proportion of blood flow to the lungs subsequent to each parenterally-administered vaccine, (d) the biodistribution and clearance of aluminum in each inoculation, and (e) the biodistribution and clearance of aluminum and mercury in each inoculation?
Increases in “pertussis”? How do we know that the “terrain” of our lungs, one of the front lines of our God-given natural immunity, is not impaired by the increasing number of vaccines on the vaccine schedules? Is pertussis really making a “comeback”? Have we reached a “tipping point” in how many holes we can shoot into our God-given natural immune systems with the vaccine schedules?
A cynic might say that Dr Cherry is a horribly-conflicted pharmawhore, and I am sure that there are those who have already reached that conclusion.

To Benedetta, According to what I read about MSG some years back, it is the "hydrolysed vegetable protein" which contains MSG- but looks just fine and dandy when you read the name on a list of ingredients on a food container. I mean , hey, Who's against protein?

A documentary on the whooping cough outbreak and the failure of the whooping cough vaccine airs on KPBS tonight (Dec. 16) at 9:30 pm. I'm sure that it will also be available at kpbs.org.
Here's further reporting today by Kevin Crowe.
"For the past four months, KPBS and the Watchdog Institute have tracked the whooping cough epidemic across California and other affected states. In an effort to better understand who is getting sick, we examined data from San Diego County Health and Human Services agency that contained immunization history for each person diagnosed with pertussis. In September, KPBS reported that almost two-thirds of the people diagnosed with pertussis in San Diego County had been up to date on their immunizations. The figure surprised local health officials."

Further reporting by Joanne Faryon and Kevin Crowe about the whooping cough outbreak. (The Cherry mentioned in the article is, I'm sure, the Cherry reported on in _DPT: A Shot in the Dark_, the excellent book by Barbara Loe Fisher and Harris Coulter):
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2010/dec/15/whooping-cough-experts-rely-vaccine-companies-mone/
"....This campaign may have been smart public relations, but ethicists say when vaccine manufacturers reach beyond their research labs and sales operations and step into educational and public health policy, they enter a prickly territory. This has been particularly evident during the pertussis epidemic, where the universal recommendation for avoiding the disease is vaccination – even though some scientists have raised questions about the efficacy of these vaccines."

Further reporting by Joanne Faryon and Kevin Crowe about the whooping cough outbreak:
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2010/dec/14/immunized-people-getting-whooping-cough-experts-sp/
"Health officials across the country are trumpeting pertussis vaccinations, but a four-month investigation by KPBS and the Watchdog Institute, a nonprofit investigative center based at San Diego State University, has found that many people who have come down with whooping cough have been immunized.
....[Dr. Fritz] Mooi, the scientist who has been studying the bacterial mutations, said his research has been ignored by those who influence public policy on pertussis in the U.S. and beyond, in part because they rely on vaccine makers to fund their meetings and research.
There is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to pursue a new vaccine because it would cost billions, he said. The circulation of a more virulent strain of pertussis could mean a new vaccine should be created."
But not before all the current useless vaccine has been sold?

San Diego reporters JoAnne Faryon and Kevin Crowe discuss their investigation of the California whooping cough outbreak and the failure of the whooping cough vaccine. Their documentary can be viewed starting Monday at kpbs.org:
"YOU WENT TO COUNTY AND STATE OFFICIALS TO GET DATA ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING WHOOPING COUGH. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT?
....WE STARTED GOING TO THE COUNTIES. THAT'S WHAT THEY INSTRUCTED US TO DO, SAYING THE MORE ACCURATE DATA IS AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. WE SENT OUT REQUESTS TO 19 COUNTIES WHO HAD HIGH NUMBERS OF WHOOPING COUGH. THE RESULTS WERE INTERESTING. WE GOT DETAILED DATA FROM SEVEN COUNTIES AND AGGREGATE INFORMATION FROM ANOTHER TWO AND OTHERS WERE NOT GOING TO RELEASE THE INFORMATION OR DIDN'T HAVE THE INFORMATION. ON A COUNTY-BY-COUNTY BASIS 40-80% OF THE PEOPLE WHO GOTTEN PERTUSSIS HAVE BEEN IMMUNIZED."

I just read this statement by Offit,“Eighty-five percent of parents are concerned but reassurable,” he said. “Most people have just heard a lot of information and want to know the truth. They just need to hear information in a compelling and cogent way.”
I found it interesting that there is an effort to tell such "information in a compelling congent way", not that they would address what the people wanted,being the truth, just the information necessary to lead them like sheep toward his goal. I'm guessing this should spark some seminars at airport hotels. It reminds me of a horrific old scifi movie I saw on TV last year, "how to serve man", these nice aliens carried the book " How To Serve Man", people flocked to be with them, they were duped, it was a cook book.

I would agree with patrons99 that the EPA has a somewhat better track record than the FDA, but sadly they have also been guilty of not enforcing environmental laws and of being corrupted by corporate and political influence. See this for just one example:
http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/05/02/dow-dioxin-scandals/
However, perhaps EPA needs some pressure on them to charge pharmaceutical manufacturers for the water pollution they are causing via prescription meds. Here is just one article re: this problem. This is a very, very troubling environmental and health issue imo.

Bisphosphonates are antiresorptive agents, e.g. fosamax and boniva, widely prescribed to treat osteoporosis. Generally speaking, they are non-hydrolizable analogs of pyrophospate. Why might they have the potential to "gum-up" intermediary metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation? Because the energy currency in our bodies is ATP, a so-called high energy phosphate, which has pyrophosphate incorporated in its structure. Nucleotides are incorporated in DNA via the triphosphate. So...is it really surprising that atypical long bone fracture, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and cardiac arrhythmias have been reported? These are just three of the adverse effects that we know of. IMO, the potential risk of pleiotropic untoward effects of the bisphosphonates is enormous.
The statins are also known to have pleiotropic untoward effects because they inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol, at the level of HMG-CoA reductase. Cholesterol is essential for all of the steroid hormones along with a number of coenzymes, e.g. CoQ10, and vitamins, e.g. D3.
http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146%2Fannurev.pharmtox.45.120403.095748
Are patients often prescribed both antiresorptive agents and statins? Actually, yes, it's fairly common. I expect that their toxicity is synergistic and pleiotropic, e.g. cardiotoxicity and mitochondrial disorders. The "double whammy", so to speak, courtesy of your favorite xenobiotic dealer.

The nurse pactionery I talked to really understands all the mitochondrial pathways and listed them for me - and what problems each could bring about. So very complicated then she said that to help fix the problem was of course a bunch of supplements; most of us are taking here on Age of Autism. The biggest one is several types of methyl B 12s - something we don't take but I am planning on trying to get some.
She also said that MSG is a big problem because of the GABA pathway. IT is hidden in a lot of store bought food under hydrogenized shortening, yeast extract and so forth. She suggested that I really work on that.
I feel exhausted. We just finished a two year very low carb diet, and are slowing working our way into low glycemic carbs.
I do however use boullion cubes a lot in my cooking and there it is.
Biophosphonates????
Okay she said that extra phosphates in the food along with MSG causes a depletion of magnesium and calcium - taking it away from the mitochondrial energy cycle - Now is this biophosphonates what she is talking about???
Posted by: Benedetta | July 28, 2010 at 03:09 PM
The EPA does a much better job regulating the environment in this country than the FDA does regulating the internal biologic milleau of our bodies, which is to say that the FDA performance in regulating pharma's "indiscretions" is abysmal.
For example, there is a growing body of evidence that the vaccine schedules, statins, and bisphosphonates, are associated with disease. Serious questions have been raised as to the safety of the LABAs and ARBs. There are many marketed products of VERY suspect long term safety.
Avandia and Gardasil are cases in point. The likelihood of pharma ever doing a voluntary recall of marketed products such as these, is slim to nil. The likelihood of FDA ever ordering a recall of marketed products such as these is non-existent, because FDA does not have regulatory authority to order drug recalls. So, in effect, our safety from pharma's constant barrage of new xenobiotics upon our bodies, depends solely on pharma "doing the right thing" by us. Now when have they ever done that?
Pharma's pollution of our internal water world is of criminal extent. These are crimes against humanity.

The vaccine schedules can be likened to pumping crude oil, heavy mud, and detergent into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is arguably in better shape right now than our bodies, thanks to pharma. There is no end in sight.

Patron99, I am expecting much of what is available as information to the prescribing physicians is based on ( corporate)clinical trials? From looking around a bit , it seems almost a new-age religion for one to be offered these drugs,with the "bone enhancers" following on the heels of the extreme monetary success of the statins used to lower our cholesterol, not unlike the HRT parcelled out for decades to women. Sadly that practice was prevalent for decades with a body count that will remain unknown. While reading accounts of damage done by the statins may offer us some insite, observation offers us more. Too many are developing diabetes , muscle weakness ,lymphoma, leukemia while on these "life saving??" drugs. It's a packaged deal, from birth to death, with vaccines and unecessary prescribing of pharmaceuticals, we've taken the great traditions of medicine and reduced them to a profit and loss statement.

re: mitochodrial disorders
Anyone with this diagnosis should probably have their CoQ10 and Vitamin D3 levels checked. Not all fat in our diet is "bad". Not all cholesterol is "bad". Both CoQ10 and Vitamin D3 require cholesterol biosynthesis.
Here's a link I found today, that helps me understand better why the bisphosphonates and statins are perhaps not conducive to longterm health and wellness. Notice the understatement. I'm straining here.
"The two classes of bisphosphonates are metabolized differently. The simple, non-nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates are metabolized to cytotoxic, non-hydrolysable analogs of ATP [16, 17]. Accumulation of these toxic by-products interferes with mitochondrial function and ultimately leads to apoptosis of osteoclasts."

Yes, I agree with you Benedetta, those like Patron 99 may well help expose the truth one day.
I do believe there are reasons for acquired mitochondrial disorders, the vaccines and the strong weed killers and other pesticides. I often think Kawasaki as a two punch illness, an induced mitochondrial disease followed by another, vaccine then environmental exposure.
Some of the terrifying things that are happening with vaccines should be noted as criminal. Once the numbers are stacked, such as Merck did in the gardasil trials, there is proof of intent to harm. Seventeen girls died during those trials, and were dismissed as not related to the vaccine. The control groups were given one of two shots, one containing aluminum, the other saline, then combined to show no differences in side effects to those receiving the vaccine. As the body count started rising, blood clots as cause, the group of young girls was compared to another group of young women with some on birth control pills, the findings suggested no differences in numbers of deaths between vaccine recipients and the general population with no mention of the other girls having a KNOWN cause of blood clots (being birth control pills). It deserves a spot on the label, for any mother of an 11 yr old girl to understand, the risk is there. Why would they use aluminum adjuvants in the control group if they didn't realize the only way to hurry this vaccine to market was to compare poison to poison? From this I see Patron's siting info on blood clotting as related to these adjuvants as quite correct, and appears it's known among the scientists and instead of presenting as the red flag that needs to be addressed for safety ,the knowledge is being used against the promotion of safety by using these adjuvants in control groups. There should be inquiries into this seemingly criminal practise.

My husband went all the way down to Emory Clinic and was tested for a possible mitochocondrial disorder.
He had it!
They went through all the genetic stuff known, and there was nothing.
Of course the arguement will always come back from the othe side that - Oh it is a genetic something that has yet to be discovered by medical science.
However, Dr. Shoffner one of the first in this field was very interested in my husband. He labeled him with acquired mitochondrial dysfunction.
He wanted him to come back down to Atlantia and try to find what it was.
He was sure that my husband who was a chemist had run into something at his work place.
He had: His work place had given free tetanus shots at the end of the work day. He reacted to it within the hour - at home He seized all night. He was 28 years old.
He was rechallenged at 34 with another tetanus shot after stepping on a nail in a cow barn. He has big feet and he never watches where he sets them!!! The medical people were unconcerned and were postive he needed that tetanus shot.
Dr. Shoffner - Did not know this. That is why we got as far as we did with it.

Barbara J take heart.
This weekend I ran into a nurse practioner with not one but two children on the spectrum. She did it to her own children and she knows it - how sad.
She recently had a meeting with six doctors who wanted to know more about her methylation treatments. One doctor had a son on the spectrum.
They are under the radar. They are secretive, they are stealth - waiting and working quietly behind the scenes. They have all read Dr. Andrew Wakefeild's book.
How about that?!

Benedetta and BarbaraJ -
Here’s a very cool link to one dad’s website:
http://www.sailhome.org/Concerns/Vaccines.html
Within this website, I found a link to an article titled, “Residual adverse changes in arterial endothelial function and LDL oxidation after a mild systemic inflammation induced by influenza vaccination”.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=retrieve&db=pubmed&list_uids=17701480
“CONCLUSION: Abnormalities in arterial function and LDL oxidation may persist for at least 2 weeks after a slight inflammatory reaction induced by influenza vaccination. These could explain in part the earlier reported increase in cardiovascular risk during the first weeks after an acute inflammatory disorder.”
Interesting choice of words: “...after a slight inflammatory reaction induced by influenza vaccination.”
Look at all of the case reports of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura and Kawasaki’s syndrome associated with the vaccine schedule. I’m afraid it’s a stretch to call each of them a “slight inflammatory reaction”.
Look at the reports of high fevers, convulsions, siezures, and kidney failure, coming from Australia this year regarding the “new” H1N1 inoculations.
This article seems related to the article titled “Possible hidden hazards of mass vaccination against new influenza A/H1N1: have the cardiovascular risks been adequately weighed?”
http://www.springerlink.com/content/26r335851h17584g/fulltext.pdf

re: mitochondrial disorders and lipid derangements.
I'm concerned regarding the longterm "safety" of the bisphosphonates and statins. I am not alone in this concern.
Not all "innovations" are good for society. Something has got to change. The status quo is unacceptable. There is no oversight. There is no accountability. We cannot just keep giving corporations a "free pass" to exploit us.
Posted by: patrons99 | July 26, 2010 at 01:44 PM
Patron and Benedetta, The "what ever it is" goes with the flow --- blood flow that is. It settles on the walls of the capillaries and interferes with the cell's metabolism, or mitochondria cycle."
Does this suggest a possible "cause" of a mitochondrial disorder that is far from the realm of genetics? ..an acquired mitochondrial disorder? Meanwhile, the one satisfied case in the vaccine court determined that only genetic mitochondrial disorders "may" be triggered by vaccine.
Posted by: barbaraj | July 26, 2010 at 12:18 PM
Our blood is a colloidal suspension that flows. The electrostatic potential of our blood, the so-called zeta potential, a fundamental physical chemical property, and blood flow, is what keeps our blood from stagnating and clotting. Aluminum salts are highly charged (+3). They have a profound effect upon the zeta potential of our blood.
I am VERY concerned that parenteral injections of aluminum salts and aluminum adjuvants found in the vaccine schedules are causing clots and microembolic phenomena.
Independent of their known neurotoxicity, aluminum salts and organomercurials, along with a cocktail of foreign proteins, and detergents, administered parenterally and serially, from cradle to grave, might not be conducive to health. We need to compare fully vaccinated with completely unvaccinated. NO, it is not unethical to do these studies. IT IS UNETHICAL NOT TO DO THESE STUDIES.
Posted by: patrons99 | July 26, 2010 at 11:31 AM
Patron & Benedetta, where are the scientists needed to study this? Are they fearful to become the next Wakefield. It does seem that whether it be a neurosurgeon, a pediatrician, a gastroenterolgist, any member of the medical community that dares speak out against this "cash cow of vaccine", will quickly be destroyed.
What is the purpose of aluminum in the shots? It seems it's designed to cause an inflammatory response triggering the immune system, logic would suggest these inflammatory responses are causing much of the damage in KS ,autism, and an array of autoimmune diseases , and includes diabetes, asthma,MS as well. Who knows what effect the combination of aluminum/thimerosal has, who understands the prospect of synergy? These are all some pretty basic answerable questions. It seems a bit paranoid to suggest, yet clearly looks to be the case, that there are actions in place to prevent the studies from being funded and carried out. Mainstream journals are owned, corporate instructions as to what is allowable to print are making them nothing more than a conduit of pharma ads.

Coincidence? Why did last year’s "pandemic" flu seem to have a somewhat greater predilection for the lungs and pneumonia? Why were there reports from the Ukraine last year regarding a hemorrhagic pneumonic plague? Why were pneumonic flu drills held in Illinois last year?
Ionic aluminum can cause macroaggregation of the colloid particles which are trapped in the pulmonary capillary beds. Most flu inoculations have aluminum adjuvants, often thimerosal too, especially with multi-dose vials.

Benedetta -
"The "what ever it is" goes with the flow --- blood flow that is. It settles on the walls of the capillaries and interferes with the cell's metabolism, or mitochondria cycle."
Your hypothesis is as good as any, and better than most, to explain the toxicity of the vaccine schedules. You are obviously well-read on this topic. Watch out...they'll call you a quack. They marginalize anyone who dare question the conventional wisdom.
http://www.quackwatch.com/
You are right about blood flow being a common element. I've been wondering whether the jabs, form microemboli the minute that they hit our bloodstream, and lodge in the first capillary bed they encounter, recruit inflammatory cells, macrophages to the site via cytokines, promote the Schwartzman phenomenon, and promote multi-systemic vasculitides. The net effect or the final common pathway results in cell cellular anoxia and cell death. To what extent is cytokine storm taking place? To what extent is chronic, nonspecific, innate immune activation taking place? I don't know. But the evidence is growing, that something along these lines is taking place.
Personally, I believe that Frank Hartman, Andrew Moulden, and James Privitera are on the right track. I just received a copy of Dr Privitera's book titled "Silent Clots Life's Biggest Killers".
Why are new doctors, right out of training, basically clueless on this subject? Because they are being brainwashed with this:
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/default.htm
We need biomarkers, tracers, and imaging techniques to best study putative mechanisms of vaccine toxicity.
Here's an article that got my attention:

I have tried to post this three times.
It probably is not worth posting to begin with.
But here goes.
Yes many thinks autism and vaccine reactions are/is vasculitis.
Barbarba Fisher even has a book out about it.
The "what ever it is" goes with the flow --- blood flow that is.
It settles on the walls of the capillaries and interferrs with the cell's metabolism, or mitochondria cycle.
with out energy to pump out the calcium the calcium flows into the cell and swells.
Some cells die, thus thinning the walls of the capillaries and that is what they are seeing in Kawasaki's in the aneurims.
Where ever the "what ever it is" decides to land, near the brain, or pancreas, or thyroid, or pituary gland.
What ever it is??? A # 3 makes sense to me. BUt it could be mercury or aluminium too.

IVIG are donated by a 1000 other people.
They think it works because???? hmmmmm
1.) It helps the patient's immune system to relearn how to work properly.
or
2.) It may actually be a #3 and someone out of a 1000 patients may have immunity againest it.
On the Kawasaki's website there are many instances when IVIG does not work, or it does work for awhile but the fevers return in a few days, and then they have to give another dose. They are hesitant to give the second dose and even more so for the third dose. After the second dose does not work they will usually give steroids.
The IVIG if it does work - works very fast - the patients are better with in hours.
I don't guess they are dumb as much as they are in denial about the whole situation.
Posted by: Benedetta | July 25, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Thank you Patron for the researched links, I did a little "nosing around" last night, as well, and found the interesting use of IVIG in several possible vaccine related reactions/side effects, including thrombocytopenia following mmr, Guillain Barr, Kawasaki,Crohn's and on. This is what is said concerning IVIG.."Modulation of inhibitory signaling is thus a potent therapeutic strategy for attenuating autoantibody-triggered inflammatory diseases. "
I've found it interesting that Kawasaki lost it's designation as a syndrome and is now a "disease", perhaps a subliminal message to us not to look for a non infectious cause?
If autism is following the pattern of inflamation following vaccination, perhaps we could halt it, giving IVIG? I agree there are no coincidences in this Patron, as you know the lies are built on lies.
Posted by: barbaraj | July 25, 2010 at 02:43 PM
BarbaraJ and Benedetta - Here's the rest the mini-search I did yesterday looking for links between the vaccine schedules and vasculitis.
It would appear that at least one of the major underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of vaccine toxicity and vaccine-associated disease is systemic inflammatory in nature. We need biomarkers, tracers, and imaging modalities to explore this further. This might explain, at least in part, why we see inflammatory bowel disease and ASD associated with vaccination, Kawasaki's disease associated with Rotavirus vaccination, cardiovascular events associated with Gardasil vaccination, and Henoch-Schonlein purpura associated with meningitis vaccination, hepatitis B vaccination, measles vaccination, and varicella vaccination.
How could this be just coincidental? This type of toxicity appears to be multi-systemic. If it doesn't kill you suddenly, it leaves you chronically-disabled. So, the clinical manifestations of the toxicity can be acute, subacute, or chronic, waxing and waning, involving one or more major organs systems.

barbaraj - I don't want to sound paranoid, but I think that pharma has something else in mind for those chips.
I did a little search looking for links between the vaccine schedules and various vasculitides, e.g. KD. I kept finding one link after another. There have been quite a few case reports. I only scratched the surface. I've got to believe that pharma, WHO, CDC, and FDA, already know about these associations. The general public does not, however. Isn't that interesting! Why doesn't the mainstream media ever make mention of these vaccine-associated diseases? It's not like they are particularly hard to find.
At least one of the links is vaguely reminiscent of the hemorrhagic pneumonic plague in the Ukraine last year. Coincidence? Hmmmm. This is getting very creepy. Our flu season is right around the corner.

If we look at the rates of autism over the last few years, and do the math it appears there will be no "normal" boys left on this planet in as short a time as twenty years. Patron,what happens when we dare voice the fears that are backed by evidence, we will be considered paranoid, so while they rant and rave like children losing a game,they will continue to win because the money and the power is "with" them and those that fought for the children will be addressed as deficient, uneducated, unscientific and designated as generally caring but stupid . We have no power over paid for science, the incredible amounts of money , such as the money Sebelius offered Thornson to make the thimerosal issue go away, is not in our court. We, while they move full force ahead with their agenda, are left behind taking baby steps, trying so carefully to use the limited truth we can pay for.
BTW I can't say that there won't be a market for that chip, as paranoid as that may seem, it may be considered one day to be in the "best interest" for parents of autistic kids . Not so sci fi really.
Those that know the truth are far too nice, are far too peaceful, and far too quiet.
Posted by: barbaraj | July 24, 2010 at 11:16 PM
The mantra and Holy Grail of the pro-vaccinators is the myth that all infectious diseases, STDs, HIV, and cancers, are "vaccine-preventable diseases".
Pharma will simply provide one new "Johnny-on-the-spot" designer jab to cover every conceivable microbe, mutation, and strain on the planet, and include them in the vaccine schedules. Seems perfectly sensible, doesn't it. Toxicity? Cumulative toxicity? Synergistic toxicity? Baloney! Pharma will just innovate a one-size-fits-all "super-jab" which incorporates the latest nanotechnology, and even includes an RFID chip implant.
Even wrong-headed thinking and improper political persuasion can be inoculated against. I would try to smile, but I'm really crying inside. There are genetically-engineered life forms on the planet. Pharma now shamelessly treads in a dominion that should be reserved unto God. Don't you feel comfort knowing that pharma is being very cautious not to disturb the internal balance, equipoise, that was God's creation?
Posted by: patrons99 | July 24, 2010 at 07:33 PM
I'm afraid one day this will be a history lesson, Patron. No one in the vaccine business, our cdc, who, docs, are addressing your very REAL concerns. As a history lesson future generations will learn what we should have studied from the sabin vaccine, clearly the very young, the very old, and those with compromised immune systems, could catch polio from the vaccinated one. What constitutes a compromised immune system? Could it be the immune deficiency that while transient often follows vaccinations? Putting a huge chunk of the population at risk? I enjoy the stories my great aunts told, survival in the early 1900's, one with spanish flu, one with whooping cough as an infant, one with paralytic polio. All recovered ,however the polio victim had a slight limp. The most interesting part of their stories is, ONE, in a crowded household of five children would get these diseases, not each and every one. Today, our over vaccinated weak children can't have a cold without the entire house getting it. The last of these aunts just passed away, the oldest was born in 1910, and the youngest 1920, their immune systems were strong enough to get them to some pretty impressive old ages. None had "autoimmune" anything and regardless of the fears, no one was lost to any epidemic. The one with the reddest hair did die from melanoma, however, she was 93. Fast forward to their children, and their grandchildren, no such luck, lupus, arthritis, diabetes,asthma..and .. now the great grandchildren, "autism".

@ Barbaraj and Benedetta - I will share with you that "flumist" scared me silly during the pandemic flu fraud and hysteria of 2009. To be blowing live virus up the noses of our kids. And then reports of shedding virus post inoculation. Talk about "portals of disease"! Then the reports this year of PCV-1 and/or PCV-2 contaminants in the rotavirus vaccine inoculations, one of which is associated with a multisystemic wasting-syndrome in pigs.
http://www.thepigsite.com/diseaseinfo/86/post-weaning-multisystemic-wasting-syndrome-pmws
Of course, our FDA went on record as stating that these products are still "safe". Oh, really. Safe for whom, Merck? GSK? Isn't the word "attenuated" simply a matter of degree. What about their infectivity and virulence?
A "multisystemic wasting-syndrome" in pigs. Hmmmm. What's next, folks? Of course, why should we have any concern that non-human viral DNA might multiply in the guts of our kids. Paul Offit and our FDA aren't worried. It's just business as usual. What's good for Merck and GSK is good for the public! Hmmmm.
Vaccine-associated diseases are becoming more and more common. What if the vaccine schedules, mandated jabs, and the heavily-vaccinated public are acting as "portals of disease"? Real question.
Personally, I choose to opt-out. The decision whether to vaccinate or not, is our choice to make. No one else's. This is a God-given right. Educate before you vaccinate.
Posted by: patrons99 | July 24, 2010 at 09:15 AM
It makes sense to me Benedetta, especially with rotateq, which has been implicated in Kawasaki and also viral shedding. At the point of viral shedding it's contagious. Hepatitis B vaccine has caused vasculitis in adults and even more rarely Kawasaki vasculitis in infants, so yes, I can see how an exposed sibling could have the ingredients for KS. I somehow wonder what effect lingering aluminum has in a case such as this, aluminum adjuvants have been implicated in KS with the injection site years old in recipients of tuberculin vaccines among Japanese children. Perhaps our kids have an amount of aluminum lingering to enhance the pathogens , I believe the Puerto Rican conference suggested measurable amounts as late as a thousand days.
Posted by: barbaraj | July 24, 2010 at 01:17 AM
I'm guessing Patron that we can only depend on the information the pharms provide. Who else is watching? I suspect there are mistakes with manufacturing where live attenuated viruses can revert to original virulence. I would think that killed viruses are only as good as the quality control,we presume they are "killed". With RNA mutations, giving us another area of consideration, and yet another when one considers the "found" porkine, murine, bacillus, and retro virus contaminants that seem to slip through without processes to kill or attenuate.
Posted by: barbaraj | July 23, 2010 at 11:55 PM
On the Kawasaki's website, some of parents are saying -No - when I asked if the child received a vaccine recently. One mother of an 8 year old who came down with Kawasaki's (an unusual age) was kind of snotty about it. Later in other postings she mentioned that she had a younger baby about the age for vaccination. I asked in a very round about way if the baby had received any vaccination around the time that the eight year old came down with Kawasaki's - the answer was - yes.
But how could this work? How could the baby be alright and the eight year old come down with Kawasaki's?
Posted by: Benedetta | July 23, 2010 at 11:02 PM
BarbaraJ - Thanks for your input on the "portal theory of vaccine-associated disease".
Here's a proposal, an action plan, if you will. First, let's validate the theory. This should not be difficult. The science is on our side...we don't have to make up the science as pharma is doing. The epidemiology is on our side. Outbreaks of vaccine-associated diseases are very common now.
Next, let's promote the theory far and wide to the mainstream media. Pharma uses propaganda and slogans, e.g. "herd immunity" and "social responsibility argument", to promote their false flag agenda against the public.
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Only, in this case, we are right! Our cause is righteous! We advocate for the endangered, injured, and dead victims of vaccine "madness". Our interests are not conflicted. There is a fire raging out of control. It's consuming our health and our health freedom. Before there's nothing left to burn, we need to try to put out the fire. Let's not use a squirt gun. We need fire hoses! If you can come up with an alternative theory, analogy, and action agenda, please share it with us.
Posted by: patrons99 | July 23, 2010 at 08:25 PM
I do have to agree concerning the "portals" of disease, Patron. My children were doing just fine until the school gave, all of those that signed up for it, nasal H1N1 vaccine. TWO DAYS later, my kindergartener came down with H1N1....but..as convinced as the doc was the test was negative? Perhaps it doesn't "test" the way naturally ocurring virus does. He couldn't have received the vaccine had I wanted it, as he is asthmatic and it was contraindicated. And..I continue to wonder about my ASD child, his big brother got his mmr on the same day that he got his dtphib. Perhaps that wasn't a good exposure?
Posted by: barbaraj | July 23, 2010 at 07:00 PM
The longest I've seen that the vaccine provides any immunity is two weeks. So they keep claiming the vaccine provides some protection, but two weeks is useless. Essentially you'd need a booster shot every two weeks to have any chance of being protected. Then there is the added problem that the vaccine weakens your immune system, so the whole thing is counterproductive.
What really gets me aggravated at people is that they claim immunity lasts for years and years, but they've never checked any of that and scientifically it doesn't make any sense to start with. I catch strep throat now, I can catch it again next month because our body cleans it out each time, only a live virus can stay in our body for life and provide immunity.

@ cy at ara - "In other words, vaccinating against the whooping cough pathogens has caused the pathogens to evolve with a more virulent strain."
Bingo! Sure sounds to me like the pediatric and adult vaccination schedules might be serving to make the heavily-vaccinated public act as portals of disease.
Has our trust in the vaccine schedules been misplaced? Real question. The question needs to be answered SOON, by independent, unbiased epidemiologists, because lives are being lost and physicians made a promise to do no harm!
Posted by: patrons99 | July 19, 2010 at 09:17 PM
News Item:
“A CDC study suggests that the resurgence of whooping cough is due to the vaccine causing an increased and more virulent toxin. The CDC acknowledges that whooping cough is recurring in highly vaccinated countries — and that it is not just because some children are unvaccinated, although that can be a factor.”
According to the CDC: “The reemergence of pertussis has been attributed to various factors, including increased awareness, improved diagnostics, decreased vaccination coverage, suboptimal vaccines, waning vaccine-induced immunity, and pathogen adaptation … Pathogen adaptation is supported by several observations.” In other words, vaccinating against the whooping cough pathogens has caused the pathogens to evolve with a more virulent strain.

They use more than one tatic. One is a tatic I have been studying for years. Subliminal symbolism. Mostly used in advertising through colors. Yes, advertisors can manipulate you into buying a product and controling how you feel about it through color.
For example, you notice in pharmacuetical commericals there is always a use of simular colors in the ads? Ever wonder why that was? Let me illustrate my point.
Thinking in medical terms:
The color white symbolizes: authority, cleansing, healing
The color green (grass): health, prosperity, energy
Blue (sky): freedom
yellow: health, happiness, good times
earthy colors: comfort
red: one of the most used colors in advertising. Where it symbolizes nothing for medicine, it has been prooven in studies to be the color that is most likely to get a consumer to pick your product.
Non color symbols are used as well. These can be settingslike a hospital fading and going to a playground, a field full of flowers, the sky on a beautiful day. Images that makes one feel good. Or safe, or active.
You'll notice at the end of the commercial it always shows the person speaking doing something physical. Riding a bike, hiking, playing with kids, or running. I have seen more than a few of these images when advertising for vaccines. These images manipulate people.
Combine that with the color symbolism and add a so called expert in a white coat at the end of the commercial and wha la!! An advertisement just subliminally brainwashed an entire population!!
I did a few papers on this back when I was in school. Pretty scary isn't it?! How by using this we are lulled into believing all is well. And the subliminal message is so strong that unless something goes wrong in our own homes, our minds will never change unless we get deprogramed!

Does the heavily-vaccinated public (a) sometimes act as a reservoir of live "attenuated" virus through viral shedding, sexual transmission, and transplacental transmission, or (b) act as a focus of new outbreaks due to generally weakened natural immunity, despite serial, cradle-to-grave inoculations under today's vaccine schedules?
Perhaps, we should enlist the help of the world's best independent, unbiased epidemiologists to study this topic. Which argument has greater epidemiologic validity, "herd" immunity or disease "portal"?
We need to know whether the pediatric and adult vaccination schedules serve to make the heavily-vaccinated public act as portals of disease.

@ Amy, RN - "Now I know why I keep seeing these strong-arm guilt trip commercials that try to bully people with babies to get the pertussis vaccine."
They are pandering to our fear. They use our fear of "disease" and "epidemics" to control us. It's really quite effective. There is a fundamental underlying psychopathology to this phenomenon.
Mass hysteria is regularly propagated by the WHO, CDC, FDA, government, the media, and mainstream medical establishment. Pharma is the global puppet master. Pharma is behind it all. Unless we begin to understand this phenomenon, we will have difficulty ever overcoming it.

My NT daughter got the cannine whooping cough when she was 15. She was sick for 2 months and was up through the night hacking away. Natural and allopathic medicine didn't help. Our energy guy diagnosed the canine type of whooping cough and treated her. Over the next few days it was gone.
Posted by: Holly M. | July 18, 2010 at 04:58 AM
As of June 30, 1,337 cases of whooping cough have been reported in California, health officials said. The figure represents a five-fold increase over the 258 cases reported during the same period in 2009. An additional 700 cases were then under investigation at local health agencies.
The five infants who died were all about 2 months old at the onset of the disease, and included two in Los Angeles County and one in San Bernardino County.
All five infants were Latino immigrants.
In 1952, 15 Californians died of whooping cough. In 2005, California recorded 3182 cases and eight deaths.
In 1934, 7,518 people— 1 in every 16,800 Americans—succumbed to it.
In 1955, whooping cough swept through Tampa Bay, FL, killing 12 people. The epidemic reminded the US of the vigilance required in the face of so infectious a disease.
Only much later was it revealed that this particular epidemic was deliberate, released on the city by the CIA as a biological warfare experiment.
"A reported boom in U.S. whooping cough cases is now being questioned after health officials discovered a regularly used lab test misdiagnosed cases in suspected outbreaks in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Tennessee. The false test results led thousands of people to take antibiotics unnecessarily and even caused a New Hampshire hospital to limit the number of patients admitted since hospital workers were thought to be infected."
http://cbs5.com/health/whooping.cough.CDC.2.288277.html
"In 1955, the CIA conducted a biological warfare experiment where they released whooping cough bacteria from boats outside of Tampa Bay, Florida, causing a whooping cough epidemic in the city, and killing at least 12 people."

According to Wikipedia, canine "kennel cough" is bordetella bronchiseptica--very closely related to bordetella pertussis. Wiki says that it is more likely that humans will get bordetella pertussis--implying that it might be possible for humans to contract the canine version.
Dogs are routinely inoculated for kennel cough, using a live-cell nasal mist. Again, according to Wiki, the virus is extremely long-lived out of the host. With a live-cell vaccine, they would be shedding live viruse cells for quite a while.
Has ANYONE ever researched whether this might be a source of pertussis in humans?

Its more than that, Jack. 10 years ago if you, as an adult previously vaccinated for pertussis, went to the doc with a prolonged cough - they would never diagnose pertussis. It is only since they have admitted the vaccine wears off and are pushing boosters for this new age set that we are seeing pertussis diagnosed in adults and teens. Maybe there has been a mutation and more cases are occurring, but the morbidity has not increased. If you look at the CDC charts for 6 months olds and younger - you'll see an average of 17 deaths per year. We are no where near this number this year.

Perhaps more important, many studies show pertussis requires a Th1 response and the acellular vaccine doesn't elicit one. The aluminum in that vaccine pushes towards Th2 and thus the vaccine doesn't work as well as the old dangerous DTP did. That's why we have 10 times more pertussis now than we did back when the vaccination coverage rate was only 60% with DTP.
