Eindecker, Here is a Reuters article taken derived from The Public Library of Medicine.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-infants-mortality/u-s-infant-mortality-high-even-for-full-term-babies-idUSKBN1GX2ST

Summing up: For full-term babies the U.S. has from 50% to 200% greater infant mortality (by age 1 year) compared to virtually all other Western Countries, with 43% of such U.S. babies dying from SIDS, most all on either side of 6 months of age.

As U.S. full-term babies (born healthiy) at 6 months have recieved 26 toxic vaccine doses by injection, is it any wonder SUID deaths make up 43% of such infant deaths. Of course the Medical Establishment has concocted spurious rational for such deaths such as being accidentally smothered when sleeping with their parents. What hogwash.

The truth of death by vaccine is beyond obvious -- . By the way my generation born during the 1940s had the best "herd immunity" ever in modern life, as we ALL got all the childhood diseases and sailed through with lasting immunity, with virtually no sickness absence in Kindergarten and Grade School. Not to mention no "polio" because we all sailed through with this enterovirus infection around the age of one (no problems, perhaps subclinical mild symptoms unreported to Medical Authorities).

Since you are apparently clueless about "polio" just go to the Westen Price Foundation and read documentation by author Jim West clearly indicting the hundreds of millions of pounds of neurotoxic agricultural chemicals spread and sprayed and ramped up into the 1950s when the "Polio Panic" took off. Of course those affected were already immune to polio as they had it as infants and were actually immune. BUT, of course, the corrupt Medical Powers rushed in "to save everybody" with a extremely toxic vaccine, and completely ignored many scientists that correctly cited the immense broadcasting of toxic Ag chemicals were the true culprit. Same bullcrap you espouse today.

@ Eindecker "it’s the hospital acquired infections that are the real issue, not the type of thing you or I might visit the GP for."
Ah yes. After around a decade and a few £millions down the drain, attempts to develop a vaccine for Clostridium difficile have finally been abandoned. (I'm a survivor and was interested in this). I also watched the sharks move in on this deadly hospital infection. Everything from Ozone to copper door handles was offered to the NHS for infection control. A mega expensive antibiotic was used on the worst cases, although most 'worst case' patients died. My own regional health authority spent £hundreds of thousands on useless alcohol hand gel dispensers on every hospital ward. This stuff does not kill C diff spores and worse, the hand operated pump action actually SPREAD germs. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and running water is the only way to clear C diff spores.

C diff is caused by broad spectrum antibiotics killing all the friendly gut bacteria, leaving a clear field for C diff spores to 'hatch out' with their deadly toxins. The spores are resistant to heat and disinfectants and persist on hospital ward surfaces. My own life was almost certainly saved by a junior doctor's advice to take probiotics. Yes those cheap wee bottles of live yogurt drinks. I hate yoghurt but forced them down. As part of my campaigning I wrote to the Government suggesting NHS hospitals might consider substituting live yogurts for inactive ones as a patient food choice. These cost no more, but don't keep as long, but considering the huge cost to the NHS of treating and barrier nursing C diff patients, this would be cost effective. After around 10 years I noted this is still being considered by UK health authorities. I personally advise friends and relatives going into hospital on how to avoid C diff.

Antibiotics have saved my life on at least 3 occasions, so I am not about to advocate substituting any 'natural' cures for serious infections. However, I would not dream of visiting a GP for a sore throat, before at least a week on hot 'lemon and honey' and some TLC. Some common sense is desperately needed in our sick NHS.

You didn’t answer my question - as to vaccines and herd immunity as JB Handley has been pointing out they are ineffective because they keep on wearing off. It’s a boon to the manufacturers because officials just prescribe more doses.

Hans Litten: Thanks for the Volcker link. He's right, of course. I think Trump had no idea what he was getting into when he claimed he was going to drain the swamp. It is un-drainable, except by the people rising up and saying no more. And yes, the undertakers always put out "Help Wanted" signs when governments take action. A good business to get into.

I knew it was only a matter of time. Vaccines for the homeless.
It the only solution they haven't tried to solve the homelessness problem !

Msg to the UK criminoThorites :

Wait until the coldest bitterest day of the winter and do a hard mandatory flu vaccine drive for the homeless in the UK. I think we could cure homelessness in a Single night !
Should we alert the undertakers of the upcoming bonanza ?

It's not often I agree with Eindeker, but his comment 'that developing vaccines specifically targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria organisms is a forlorn hope. ' is exactly correct. It is also the case existing vaccines targeting bacterial infections are failing, as bacteria are very clever at developing resistance to antibiotics, disinfectants and of course vaccines. The mechanism is the same in all cases. Those few surviving bacteria are resistant to just about everything. You know the rest.

One very good example of this is the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) vaccine, which is now failing to protect a significant percentage of those persons vaccinated. Worse, the evolved form of this disease is nastier than the naturally acquired Whooping Cough which I contracted in the 1950s. Babies are particularly at risk since these days, previously vaccinated mothers have little or no immunity to transfer naturally to their babies. Knee jerk attempts by health authorities to vaccinate pregnant mothers and members of their families (cocooning) fill me with despair. A failed vaccine is a failed vaccine.

Recent efforts to persuade GPs to reduce their antibiotic prescribing, has resulted in confusion. Medicine should never be a 'tick box - one size fits all' business. My Grandson got Scarlet Fever, after a GP initially refused antibiotics for his throat infection. He's fine, but complications from Scarlet Fever can be dire for immune compromised patients and those with co-morbidities.

John this may be for the only time that I at least partially agree with you in that developing vaccines specifically targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria organisms is a forlorn hope. But on the other hand is this the single mention of vaccines that you refer to in the report: There should also be a clear message about the value of vaccination programmes in preventing both primary and secondary infection; encouraging uptake also helps to reduce antimicrobial use and AMR. hardly a ringing condemnation of the vaccine program John, more like a heavy emphasis on the need to maintain vaccination programs and their uptake.
To be honest John if you use fundamentally flawed publications like that of Miller & Goldberg comparing infant mortality rates across countries as a mainstay of your thesis then I doubt very much if your submission had any influence of the considerations of the Parliamentary Committee. Bernadine Healy discussed the potential errors in direct comparisons of infant mortality rates between countries in a U.S. News & World Report story headlined, "Behind the Baby Count" (Sept. 24, 2006).
First, it’s shaky ground to compare U.S. infant mortality with reports from other countries. The United States counts all births as live if they show any sign of life, regardless of prematurity or size. This includes what many other countries report as stillbirths. In Austria and Germany, fetal weight must be at least 500 grams (1 pound) to count as a live birth; in other parts of Europe, such as Switzerland, the fetus must be at least 30 centimeters (12 inches) long. In Belgium and France, births at less than 26 weeks of pregnancy are registered as lifeless. And some countries don’t reliably register babies who die within the first 24 hours of birth. Thus, the United States is sure to report higher infant mortality rates. For this very reason, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which collects the European numbers, warns of head-to-head comparisons by country.
Infant mortality in developed countries is not about healthy babies dying of treatable conditions as in the past. Most of the infants we lose today are born critically ill, and 40 percent die within the first day of life. The major causes are low birth weight and prematurity, and congenital malformations. As Nicholas Eberstadt, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, points out, Norway, which has one of the lowest infant mortality rates, shows no better infant survival than the United States when you factor in weight at birth.

Only John can pull that tohether so brilliantly.

Thanks John

Former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker thinks 'we're in a hell of a mess'

http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/former-fed-chairman-paul-volcker-thinks-were-in-a-hell-of-a-mess/ar-BBOMRum?ocid=ientp

In a book set for release Oct. 30, Volcker laments the current state of conditions, particularly the monied interests eating away at the system of governing.

"There is no force on earth that can stand up effectively, year after year, against the thousands of individuals and hundreds of millions of dollars in the Washington swamp aimed at influencing the legislative and electoral process," he writes, according to Sorkin

& I bet Paul doesn't even know the half of it !

Well done AoA and John Stone. What an excellent submission and you got a result. The UK House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee, is made up of cross party members of Parliament. There have been recent legal changes to make political lobbying, by corporations and other vested interests, more publicly transparent, including a register of lobbyists. MPs already have to declare any donations or 'sponsorship'.

Vaccines have become very profitable, and there is huge pressure by manufacturers to add more and more of them to UK child vaccination schedules. There was a huge 'push' to get meningitis B vaccine Bexsero, into the child schedule. The tactics included a lot of publicity involving a meningitis damaged child, including interviews with the parents. Needless to say the tactics worked, with a public petition demanding the vaccine be included in the child vaccine schedule. In fact, this deadly infection is thankfully very rare, and if caught early, can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Parents, and particularly GPs and hospital doctors, need to be more aware of the symptoms and act quickly when a case is suspected. Better a dose of unnecessary antibiotics than allowing this infection to progress to the point of limb removal or death.

I find it hopeful to see our political representatives at last listening and making decisions based on stone cold (forgive the pun) facts and proper scientific data analyses, rather than emotional public appeals and the ridiculous fantasy nonsense of Paul Proffit. (oops another pun)
