Here's a Best of.....

By Kim Rossi

Let's take a trip back to Christmas, 1962. A little girl named Michele had a Christmas wish for Santa. Michele wanted to play Mommy. Mommies used to take care of sick children. It was part of their job description. Sniffles and sneezes, spotty rashes and wheezes. That was childhood, after all. Get sick, build an immune system, grow up.  Michele got a wonderful new doll from Santa that year. Her name was Hedda.

Hedda slept through the night like a dream.

 

Hedda smiled at her Mommy

She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.

Diana Elliott dropped off her son with special needs, age 14, outside an Atlanta hospital where a nurse ultimately noticed him outside.  Teachers saw a news report, recognized him, and contacted police. According to reports,  "...he does not speak and appears malnourished..."  That could be autism. Many of our kids have difficulty or dislikes when it comes to eating and are very thin. Maybe even malnourished.

I applaud Ms. Elliott.  She is overwhelmed and she did the safe thing for her boy.  The Safe Haven laws are for newborns. We need a version for disabled children and adults. We will see more and more of this and its evil counterpart, murder, as parents live, breathe and age into exhaustion.  Diana Elliott, I hope someone in the system wakes up and helps you and your family.  My initial instinct is to feel empathy and sympathy for you. The story may unfold to reveal not so great information.  I don't know. For the moment. I see a fellow Mom of a pre-verbal teen child. Like my Bella. And guess what?

She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.
She didn't kill him.

What one question would you ask each Presidential candidate in the 2020 election?

From Children's Health Defense:

Every hardship we’ve encountered on this journey has been a gift.

It’s when we face adversity that we truly find out what we’re made of. Everything we claim to be boils down to the question of who we are when the cards are stacked against us, when the oppressors try to silence us, and when the dark forces want to shut us down.

They thought they would bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.

Children’s Health Defense is assembling an army of activists to push for children’s health, justice, medical freedom and truth. We’re holding a spot for you.

Stop what you’re doing and sign up with us right now. Together we will win.

From Village Connection Network, Long Island, New York, Professor Mary Holland and Dr. Larry Palevsky, on HPV vaccination.  As of this date, New York State is seeking to mandate HPV vaccinations for school attendance in S298B. Even parents who have fully vaccinated their children per the pediatric CDC schedule see this bill as overreaching in terms of public health. Of course, if they refuse the Gardasil vaccine for their sons and daughters, they will join the ranks of the "anti-vaxxers," in an aut0matic inclusion.

Vaxxed II has a powerful segment on injury and death following HPV vaccination. Below, meet Colton and his Mom from the first Vaxxed movie. Colton was an athletic, gutsy, active teen paralyzed by his Gardasil shots. You'll have to meet him in the video. You'll never meet him in person.  This beautiful boy. Is. Gone. He died  in January of 2018.

Decades ago, a wise mentor taught me a phrase that has helped me in every facet of my life: “Don’t punish progress.”

Late night TV Host Jimmy Kimmel has been mercilessly cruel to and about our vaccine injured children.  We've been a caricature to him.  And I have responded in less-than-kind. But this is the Christmas season, and the Hanukkah season. The season of miracles, softened hearts, generosity of spirit and rebirth. Joshua Coleman and Melissa Floyd each met Kimmel at his book signing last weekend. Joshua Coleman and Jessica Floyd have vaccine injured children. Neither Joshua nor Melissa attacked Jimmy, or assaulted him with their words. They taught him with gentle tones and facts about their vaccine injured children. Melissa shared how his callous disregard (shout out to Dr. Wakefield there, that's also the title of his book) made her feel. I once read something that said, "People might forget what you DO. But they do not forget how you made them FEEL."

Kimmel had no idea that the father and book buyer standing in front of him was the man behind the V is for Vaccine movement that peacefully interrupted his show last week, and who was expelled from the studio. Coleman could have gone up to Kimmel guns ablazing. He did not. He took a wise and mature approach. He spoke to him without ever letting on who he is. He posted a video on Facebook of the meeting - watch if you can.

Sometimes I talk about my martial arts training. We have a set of seven commandments. And the first one is, "As my strength increases, I shall cultivate a gentle heart."   I congratulate Josh and Melissa for their gentle hearts, despite being broken by vaccine injury and stomped upon by Kimmel and so many before him. I hope Kimmel's heart softens too, toward all of us, and that he starts to learn for himself that we are not a threat, nor lunatics, nor simply angry.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome Christmas, come this way!
Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
Welcome Jimmy Kimmel  Today!

We will welcome him to knowledge, compassion and to help fight against mandates. We do not want to welcome him to the family of the vaccine injured. May his family stay safe.

In the words of Melissa Floyd, Mom to Serenity.

The day I met Jimmy Kimmel and told him about my daughter Serenity....

I knew I wouldn’t have much time. I knew this issue was contentious. I knew there was security and staff standing close by already on high alert. But I also knew I HAD to have a heart-to-heart with him, no matter how brief, and tell him a little of my child’s story. I wanted him to see my sincerity, understand there was suffering, and recognize the humanity of “the other side”. I went in it with an open heart and an open mind. The most important thing was #INTENTION.

***What is your intention when we talk with others about this issue? What is your desired outcome? What do you hope to accomplish at the end of the conversation? You have to know that first BEFORE going in. Intention is everything!***

🙏 This was MY intention: I wanted Jimmy to know children like mine exist, they were innocent victims, and they don’t deserve ridicule or discrimination. That’s it! I just wanted him to know. What he chose to do with that information was up to him and his conscience.
————————-

The first thing I did when I walked to the table was ask him to sign my daughter’s name. I wanted him to know her name.

Serenity exists and Serenity was hurt. 😢

Anti-vaccine protesters demonstrate outside Comic-Con on July 20, 2019 in San Diego.Daniel Knighton / Getty Images file

Notee: Glitch should be fixed. Sorry!

Below is an article from NBC critical (shocking) of the V is for Vaccine movement, which is flash mobbing accurate information critical to informed consent from coast to coast.  I've complied a short list of other articles from NBC News that illustrate how the language changes based on whether or not the protest content jives with NBC's marching orders. 

The ACLU has something to say about the importance of protests in the United States of America.  Protests about civil rights tore the fabric of the nation. Protests about gay rights tore the fabric of the nation. The fabric heals. Unlike our many of our vaccine injured children.  The fact that powerful forces in government, industry, public health and worldwide organizations despise that we are opening the eyes of citizens enrages them. And so they must make seem out of control and dangerous - and then they can start cracking down. 

I train in Shito Ryu Karate-do. Karate-do means "way of the open/empty hand."  We never strike first.  There is no opening attack in Karate-do. But we are duty bound to defend. To any of our friends and family and colleagues who join these and other demonstrations, I implore you. Stay calm. Breathe. Remember that the other side will taunt you, and try to goad you into reaction - into striking first. DO NOT. Ever. You'll simply feed their narrative. To Joshua Coleman and the V is for Vaccine movement - which is to say, most all of us: I will share the 5 tenets of the Shito-Ryu style, called the Go Do Shin:

1) Never forget the spirit of first beginning
2) Never neglect courtesy and etiquette
3) Never neglect effort
4) Never lose common sense
5) Never disturb harmony

From the ACLU: The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment.  

It is with great disappointment that Health Choice 4 Action (HC4A) is forced to address the emphatically false and disparaging remarks being shared on several social media platforms. Health Choice (HC) and HC4A have been referred to as “controlled opposition” while insulting remarks have been cast toward individual members and our national founders. 

Our main goals have empirically been, and continue to be, to protect our children and safeguard parental rights. It is apparent that these people do not share the same vision or objectives of HC, HC4A and its members. 

Our national founders and local leaders have volunteered countless hours over combined decades in advocacy to ensure that individual health choice rights and the rights of parents, as the ultimate decision makers for their families’ health, are retained.  

In 2019, we have fought and continue to fight for informed consent, religious freedoms, civil liberties, parental rights and the guarantee that all children are afforded their fundamental right to an education - no matter race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or disability. 

We are unpaid parents, who spend countless hours and sleepless nights advocating to preserve our rights. We believe that these other individuals do not have the best interests of our children at heart. The mission of these local groups that support and promote distracting, divisive and destructive behavior does not align with HC or HC4A. The abusive actions and derogatory remarks towards mothers are a reflection of those individuals’ true character. 

HC and HC4A does not condone and will continue to refrain from engaging in social media peacocking, a distraction from our goals, and will solely focus on the real issues currently in our state, eliminating the bills and preventing discrimination in education.

HC & HC4A Leadership Team -

By Cathy Jameson

Every week is a busy week for our family.  With five kids, we always have lots going on.  Last week was no different.  Even though we had only one after school activity on the calendar for Wednesday, a basketball game, it would be our busiest afternoon.  The game would start a little bit after school got out, but before I could go to it, I had to go back to our neighborhood.  A neighbor of ours had asked Izzy to check on their dog.  If we timed it well, I could get her to our neighbor's and then to the game with 5 minutes to spare.  Halfway to the neighbor's house, I said, "Maybe I'll use the bathroom at home before we go back out..."  

Saying that out loud made me absolutely have to use the bathroom.  

So, Izzy and I made a new plan.  Instead of me waiting at the neighbor's with Izzy while she walked the dog, I would zoot to our house with Ronan, who’d come with me to pick up Iz, and use the bathroom.  She would walk home, change out of her school clothes and grab a snack to eat on the way to her little sister's game.  She'd have time.  As long as nothing got in the way.  

We live in a pretty decent area, but as we drove up our neighbor's street, we saw a stranger a few houses down.  It gave me an unsettled feeling seeing him.  She didn't say it at the time, but Izzy had gotten a weird vibe when we drove past him.  Mother's instinct told me not to leave my daughter alone as she would normally walk the dog past the house where the man was.  So I parked the car as she took care of the dog.  I definitely had to use the bathroom by then, but it would have to wait. 

Below is Mark Blaxill's testimony to the Public Health Committee in Massachusetts last Tuesday. Despite a snowstorm that delayed proceedings, more than 600 people attended to voice their opposition to bills including the "Community immunity act."  The "day" ended after midnight on Wednesday, such is the dedication of the Health Choice community.

Vaccine mandates are bad policies based on false premises

My name is Mark Blaxill. I’m a co-founder of Health Choice 4 Action and the Canary Party. A graduate of Princeton and the Harvard Business School. I lived in Boston and Cambridge for close to 40 years, much of it working for The Boston Consulting Group where I was a Senior Vice President and leader of the Strategy Practice. I’ve written four books, published numerous scientific papers and represented the autism parent community on a range of government panels. Depending on who you talk to, I’m either a stealth representative of the “controlled opposition” or a dangerous “anti-vaxxer” and a serious threat to the public health.

The truth? I’m neither of the above. What I am is the parent of a beautiful 24-year-old daughter who I believe to be vaccine injured. I became an advocate because I want to prevent what happened to her from happening to others.

As an experienced business analyst, I want to highlight one critical point today: there is a great deal of money in the vaccine business. Last year, four companies—Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi and Pfizer- generated $26B in vaccine revenue, with profits just under $10B. That’s after deducting marketing, lobbying and R&D expenses. That many billions of dollars go a long way. They pay for TV ads, for lobbyists, for PR campaigns and a great deal of influence, including (and especially) with medical organizations.  And back in 1986, they pushed for and passed federal legislation that exempts vaccine makers from any liability for vaccine injury.

Back them, no one saw what was coming. Now it’s more clear. It’s not enough for pharma to simply protect DTP, MMR and polio vaccines. Now they need the vaccine business to grow. For stock prices to rise. And for opposition to be squelched. But there’s a problem with their growth ambitions: as the program has multiplied, concerns have grown. And what’s the response? Certainly not what it should be, which is more and better science on vaccine safety.

Instead, there is a new PR strategy by vaccine promoters to weaponize measles outbreaks and to pursue a newly aggressive program of vaccine mandates. These mandates are bad policies based on false premises.

Think about how cynical this PR campaign is. If you were really worried about measles, you’d develop targeted health policies focused on measles and measles alone. Instead we’ve seen broad attacks on the basic human right of free, prior and informed consent. We are using fear to raise Merck’s stock price and force parents to accept the entire, liability-free vaccine program, not just measles vaccines. Measles outbreaks are the Trojan Horse the medical industry is using to sell the newly bloated vaccination schedule, an uncontrolled experiment performed on a generation of children.

Friends, we invite you to read one of the greatest spankings ever administered on social media (Instagram) in which Robert Kennedy Jr. exposes Dr. Peter Hotez shall we say hookworm, lyin' and stinker. He holds not one but three US Patents based on hookworms, reminiscent of Paul Offit, dissected by our own Mark Blaxill in "Voting Himself Rich" with his own vaccine patent. Offit these days seems to have been sidelined in favor of Hotez and Dorit Reiss.  Ah the phlying phickle phinger of pharma (Google Flying Fickler Finger of Fate, young ones, you'll laugh-in.)

Robert Kennedy Jr. previously responded to the blatant lies told by Dr. Richard Pan and also Dr. Peter "Vaccines did Not Cause Rachel's Autism" Hotez. We wrote about Mr. Kennedy's epic rebuttal here - CA Senator Richard Pan Recalls a Debate With Robert Kennedy Jr... THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

Below is a pictorial from Instagram from Mr. Kennedy. In addition, our own Mark Blaxill, an expert in intellectual property, provided 3 patents held by Dr. Hotez.

A Gen-Yoo-Ine Crapiside. Funny stuff, eh Jimmy? We cry rivers of diarrhea.

Update: We've had some comments from readers, new or not, who think this piece is an affront to families of children with heart issues. If you are a regular, you know us better.  I hope. We have never created a pecking order for autism or any other condition. But our kids are always at the bottom of the media pecking order. And perhaps it's my fault for not going back to the drawing board on this post, which I will do here. We have AofA families whose children have dual diagnoses - autism and Down Syndrome, for example. And heart issues are a major, lifelong issue. In America, our surgeons are heroes. They can repair bones and organs. Perhaps not to perfection, but to functioning and to make life better for patients.  Funny, I wrote a post about this:

Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel said he would perform the same emotionally-charged monologues about healthcare and gun violence "again in a heartbeat," despite a drastic reduction in Republican viewership of his show.

Jimmy Kimmel had a visit from V is for Vaccine this week at his taping.  From Joshua Coleman's Facebook page:

33 mothers and fathers attended Jimmy Kimmel's show on December 4, 2019 and abruptly stood in silence MID-SHOW removing outer clothing to reveal their hidden shirts that said either...

My son was injured by vaccines 

My daughter was injured by vaccines

My loved one was injured by vaccines

I was injured by vaccines

Jimmy Kimmel cut his interview with actor Tom Holland short and the parents were asked to leave. As they quietly and peacefully left Jimmy sarcastically muttered "Cry me a river". 

LIVE broadcast from inside the Kimmel studio on my wall. 

 #VisforVaccine

When Kimmel's son was born, he had a heart condition and needed surgery. Kimmel, known for his on screen blubbering at the drop of a hat, cried a river over his son's plight.

We commiserate.

Most of us have cried oceans over our children, whose vaccine injury is not repairable by a skilled surgeon, and whose effects have shunted their lives off their appointed track to that of the seriously disabled. We live with rivers of tears AND diarrhea, mountains of soiled bedsheets, and lakes of drool from seizures. Our fields of dreams for our children lie fallow.

Remember friends, the only group with 24/7/365 open season are parents of vax injured kids. Bully us? And how! Make fun of us? Don't mind if I do! Dismiss our sick kids? Boy howdy what fun! Jimmy is such a comedian. He talks about his wife Molly's smelly feet on Howard Stern. Ha ha!! How'd you like to have a wife taking care of three kids with autism, Jimmy? Imagine the laughs there?

Kimmel should never know the pain we feel. His fears for his son pale against our agony, which is like his PLUS the horror of being called liars and shamed at every turn.  We have no miracle surgeons. We have no treatments. We have no cure. And we get no respect. But that's a real comedian's line.

KIM

Note: We need more religious leaders to speak out. I'm Catholic, and I think Priests, because they can not marry and do not have children of their own, are unlikely to feel the sharp tug of duty on this issue. Despite it being the moral issue of our time, as far as I'm concerned. Feel free to correct me if you would like. But other religions and Christian denominations do allow their clergy to marry, and they allow female clergy.  Children should spin dreidels in December, but they should not spin in circles, watch spinning ceiling fans or spin other objects because of vaccine injury. Happy Hanukkah which begins on December 22, this year.

In a bold effort to fight current New Jersey legislation, several prominent rabbinic leaders who direct Beth Medrash Govoha, the largest rabbinical college in the United States, have written a letter voicing their concerns regarding government policies that infringe upon religious freedom. All rabbis agree on the Torah principle that one must “guard their life exceedingly,” yet debate abounds surrounding the topic of vaccinations. From within this heated debate on vaccines, Beth Medrash Govoha has bravely stepped forward and taken a side in an attempt to halt New Jersey bill S-2173, which aims at removing religious vaccine exemptions.

Just this past year, 26,000 students were kicked out of New York schools following the passing of one of the strictest vaccine mandates in the country, removing the religious exemption, and making it near impossible to receive a medical exemption. New York has now joined the ranks of California and Maine in their loss of religious freedom. While many rabbis concur that “guarding one’s life exceedingly” includes receiving vaccines to protect from specific illnesses, there is a growing body of rabbis concerned with the skyrocketing numbers of childhood disabilities and cancers, who are researching the potential risks surrounding vaccines. This informed group of rabbis interpret the Torah principle of “guarding one’s life exceedingly” as forgoing further vaccination to avoid risks to a child who may have already been injured by vaccines or have a predisposition to potential adverse reactions. We must not ignore the potential risks with vaccination. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has already paid out over $225 million in legally and medically proven injuries in 2019 alone, and over $4.2 billion since 1986 when Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). This was the creation of a no-fault compensation program to stabilize a vaccine market adversely affected by an increase in vaccine-related lawsuits.

While the role of a rabbi has often been one of guidance and comfort, especially when making important medical decisions that could impact one’s life, the U.S. government is finding ways to come between man and religion. For centuries, rabbis have often collaborated with medical doctors and their patients to help individuals evaluate risks and make important medical decisions together. For instance, one New Jersey rabbi and father of seven children, shared his personal story of his first three children who were severely injured by vaccines. Due to fear of injuring his youngest four children, he diligently sought the guidance of both doctor and rabbi regarding further vaccine decisions. Both doctor and rabbi, suggested he forgo any further vaccinations for his children. Today, his three, fully vaccinated, older children currently suffer from ADHD, neurodevelopment disorders, speech delays, and asthma, while his youngest four, unvaccinated children are healthy and meeting all their milestones. If this family resided in New York, California, Maine, Mississippi, or West Virginia, where religious and philosophical exemptions to immunization do not exist, they would have been forced to fully vaccinate all seven children, potentially risking their health, despite a family history and obvious predisposition to vaccine adverse effects. This slippery slope in which government is coercing individuals to go against their rabbi’s guidance, has compelled brave, religious leaders to take a stand in fighting to protect religious freedom. Many New Jersey rabbis have been encouraged to share their concerns regarding this type of government overreach and are planning to attend the S-2173 Senate Health Committee hearing on Thursday, December 12.  READ MORE HERE.

Update: The interview was excellent (Howard is a fantastic interviewer and had over an hour with the Secretary Clinton.) The interview to promote her new book about women throughout history with guts. I know so many women in our AofA family who should have a chapter.  Kim 

This morning. Channel 100 on SiriusXM. Not sure exact time but between 7:30 and 11:00 EDT. Is a Presidential run looming?

I have been researching human exposure to aluminium for over thirty-five years. I am (sometimes affectionately) known as Mr Aluminium. About ten years ago, I became interested in aluminium adjuvants and specifically how they help to potentiate the immune response in vaccination. Funded initially by the Medical Research Council (Nanotoxicity of Aluminium Adjuvants) we set about testing dogma associated with their mechanism of action in vaccines. We have recently reviewed this subject including our own research in the field (https://aacijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13223-018-0305-2). There are, of course, more questions remaining than answers obtained but we do now have a nascent understanding of the mode of action of aluminium adjuvants. It is clear that a vaccine including an aluminium adjuvant is an acute exposure to aluminium (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X19304201). The aluminium adjuvant initiates an inflammatory response in the immediate vicinity of the injection site. Myriad infiltrating cells flood the damaged area and responding to the inflammation take up adjuvant and antigen into their cytoplasm (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep06287) though not necessarily as an adjuvant-antigen complex (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-20845-9). Adjuvant is transported to lymph glands (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300985818809142) and may also be carried in macrophages (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0162013419305719) and other histiocytes throughout the body including into the brain (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17308763). The latter, though demonstrated in an animal model (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-11-99) remains to be proven in humans. Vaccines that include an aluminium adjuvant are a source of aluminium to the rest of the body and this should be a concern.

This important and up to date information on aluminium adjuvants is missing from a vaccine safety information website hosted by the NHS (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/why-vaccination-is-safe-and-important/). Perhaps of equal importance is that the information given there is, at best, incorrect.

Example 1. ‘Adjuvants are added to vaccines in very small amounts, which have been shown to be safe.’
There have not been any clinical trials designed and carried out to test the safety of aluminium adjuvants. Not a single clinical safety trial for any vaccine that includes an aluminium adjuvant. Vaccine manufacturers are not obliged to demonstrate the safety of aluminium adjuvants. Indeed vaccine manufacturers invariably use aluminium adjuvants as placebos in vaccine efficacy trials (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X11013089?via%3Dihub).

Example 2. ‘There’s no evidence that the levels of aluminium we come across every day increase the risk of conditions like dementia or autism.’
There may not be consensus that aluminium increases the risk of dementia but there is burgeoning scientific evidence that this is the case. Recent research on aluminium in brain tissue in familial Alzheimer’s disease (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X16303777) left very little doubt that aluminium, an accepted neurotoxin, contributes towards Alzheimer’s disease (https://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-disease-reports/adr170010). The advice given by the NHS is at best incorrect and at worst misinformation. While the evidence linking aluminium with autism remains preliminary the high content of aluminium in brain tissue in autism (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17308763) should not be so easily, perhaps conveniently, discarded.

"As long as they spell your name right," is the saying about any publicity being good publicity. And THIS is another touchdown by the flash mobbing, grass rooted V is For Vaccine effort lead by Josh Coleman, father of a seriously vaccine injured boy named Otto.  I added comments and RT'd the @JennaLaineESPN Tweet.  Did you know we are 'that crowd?"

Oh dear. Perhaps someone has had one too many flu shots?  Here are two Instagram posts from Richard Pan, architect (or marionette) of SB277 and SB276 in California, and Dr. Peter Hotez, whose actually uses his daughter to support vaccines with his book titled "Vaccines did Not Cause Rachel's Autism." 

Richard Pan says he debated Robert Kennedy Jr. This is an outright lie. Kennedy responded:  For the record, I have repeatedly asked both Pan and Hotez to publicly debate; they have both steadfastly refused. 

You  may recall that here in Connecticut, "experts" from Yale backed out of a forum with Robert Kennedy last Fall.   "I flew to Hartford, Connecticut last night at the invitation of the Sen. Josh Elliott and the Connecticut State House’s Democratic leadership who are proposing to abolish Religious exemptions for vaccines. (Connecticut has among the highest vaccination rates; 97% With no threat to herd immunity, Pharma profits and medical authoritarianism are the impulses driving the legislation). Dems believed they had stacked the contest against me; alone I would debate five Yale Medical School Physicians and virology professors. The professors came with heavy vaccine industry pedigrees. Despite these 5-1 odds, I was confident I would easily dispatch them, the facts on vaccine safety argue themselves. For 15 years, Pharma has systematically pressured a long string of my scheduled opponents (Hotez, Offit, etc) to cancel every one of dozens of agreed upon debates. Invariably they withdraw at the last minute as Pharma rallies its toadies to call them. I was looking forward to finally enjoying an honest and civil exchange with Yale’s vaccinology impresarios. “This gang,” I told myself, “will have too much pride to chicken out!” Wrong! I just got the word that all five Yale professors canceled at 3:00 a.m."

Pan and Hotez, Along with the strangely swaying and tic'ing Dorit Reiss have been telling such lies that even the red queen herself would be proud.  We'll share a doozy from Reiss and one from Hotez guaranteed to make you laugh out loud at the absurdity. Not sure if they are panicking and simply spewing gibberish or if the Bot farm has some sort of virus running through it.

Response from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Instagram.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by the audacity of the lies or the comedic aspect of these two drug industry titans telling stretchers to each other in an escalating war of third grade schoolyard braggadocio. Artifice, fraud and chicanery are the currencies of these two snake oil charlatans. Still, it’s fascinating to see Pharma’s two most visible advocates for forced vaccination lie so comfortably on a public platform advancing assertions so readily refuted; if Sen. Pan debated me, surely there would be a public record? Particularly if he whooped me as he boasts! Pan’s and Hotez’s experience of successfully deceiving everyone from the obsequious national pharmedia to credulous Sacramento Dems has evidently emboldened them to believe they can spin whoppers without consequence or scrutiny. For the record, I have repeatedly asked both Pan and Hotez to publicly debate; they have both steadfastly refused. Although I’ve seen Sen. Pan across a hearing room where his cronies cut off my mic, I met him only once; he dropped by a briefing I was conducting in another senator’s office in 2015 and left after 10 minutes without asking a question. Hotez told me that he would consider debating me but “must first get permission from NIH” (presumably Francis Collins). That response actually shocked me with its implicit acknowledgement of the seamless command structure that governs the vaccine industry, its captive regulators and its allies in academia. I never heard back from Hotez. Here is how Hotez explained his refusal to debate me on Joe Rogan’s March 11, 2019 podcast: “He’s an attorney. He’s very clever. He knows how to do arguments...I’m just a scientist.” Really? “He knows how to do arguments???” Ok, second grade! It’s worth recalling Terry McAuliffe’s observation that “a man who lies about small matters, will lie about the large.” I hereby renew my invitation to debate Dr. Hotez and Sen. Pan alone or in tandem. And yes, I will crush you, not because I “know how to do arguments,” but because the science speaks for itself.

Note: We live in an era where we are told that we should believe women's stories as their truth. Harvey Weinstein. Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Cosby. But vaccines?  A Mom in our community posted her story of grief and pain, after the death of her child. Rather than show a scintilla of compassion, a commenter went to full blown gaslighting mode. Disgusting.

Note: Many years ago at Autism One, I looked out my hotel window to see camels in the parking lot of the hotel. Camels. In Chicago! That was when I first met Christina Adams and learned about camel's milk. Christina has a new book out about her journey called "Camel Crazy."   From her website:

When Christina Adams, a journalist by training, discovered that camel’s milk might help her son with autism, she started a journey she never expected. A faraway doctor helped her bring the milk into America and her son got dramatically better overnight. Adams wanted to know more, so off she went to find camels; to understand why camels are cherished, regarded as family members, and hailed as healers; and to help make camels the second-fastest growing livestock in the world because of new demand for their milk. Meeting camels face to face, Adams found the creatures fascinating: large teeth and height scared her even as their soft lips and gentle, curious eyes won her over. Along with Adams, you’ll visit the camel farms of Arab royals; meet passionate Amish farmers, elusive Indian camel caregivers and white-swathed Tuareg nomads. But the most fascinating characters in Camel Crazy are the camels themselves. Cute and mischievous but also huge, adept fighters, they are the inspiration for this moving and rollicking ode to “camel people” and the creatures they — and readers will — adore.

Her book received a review in PLOS Blogs DNA Science in November.

Every few weeks I jump online and check out NVIC’s latest news.  A fantastic resource, they’ve done a great amount of footwork to keep their supporters informed.  Most of us who follow NVIC had not been, at one time or another, fully informed by medical personnel we once trusted.  Our kids were harmed because of that.  Never wanting to repeat that, I’m thankful that the group’s leaders and many volunteers created the platform that they did.  That platform includes being able to look up current legislative information.  Even if a bill they’ve posted doesn’t directly affect me or my family, the knowledge they share about it is a benefit. 

Take, for example, when California lawmakers introduced SB276 earlier this year.  Families in California communicated quickly within their local and state message boards when they learned of the bill.  Those efforts helped educate more residents, including many who did not have a child with a vaccine injury.  Thousands of families came together instantly.  NVIC, and other advocacy groups as well, picked up on news of SB276 and made sure the rest of the country knew that fellow US citizens’ rights were in jeopardy.  Within hours, hundreds of thousands more people beyond the California borders were aware and ready to mobilize. 

While that swift action did not help the people of California, Americans from one coast to the other stayed informed and promised to do whatever they could from a distance.

Image sources: the internet

Not soon after, friends in New York went to bat against their legislative leaders.  With how unnerving it was to see Californians and then New Yorkers be quickly striped of their rights, I began a new habit.  I started checking on several states’ legislative activity.  I do that faithfully now every few weeks.

Image source: NCSL.org http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/school-immunization-exemption-state-laws.aspx

Something I’m specifically searching and watching in state legislative databases are pre-filed bills.  Those are pieces of legislation will be proposed well ahead of when the state’s next session begins.  Like anything that can be turned in prior to a deadline, time is on the side of representatives and their staffers.  They’ll be able to organize, document, and prepare a bill weeks, if not months, before it can be introduced on the floor.  Some states will limit how many bills can be documented.  Other states will also only allow a certain number of pre-filed bills per state house or state senate member.  Regardless, it’s always good to know what our elected leaders are doing.

Just read a story on NPR (national pharma radio) with the headline: Nothing To Sneeze At: $2,659 Bill To Pluck Doll's Shoe From Girl's Nose.  Almost three thousand dollars to use tweezers (excuse me, "forceps") on a child's nose. That's the state of American healthcare. The "Affordable" Care Act is not affordable.  Premiums are sky high. Deductibles render the insurance useless. In some areas, there are few doctors who accept the insurance. It should have been called the Accessible Care Act, because it did make insurance more accessible when it removed pre-existing conditions.  But emergency and hospital care is outrageously expensive.

So why are flu shots free across the nation? Heck, stores PAY YOU to get a flu shot so they can make their quota, so clearly someone is making money. And it ain't the consumer.

"...where anyone can find a home to breathe free."

then

"...Let's all do our part to counteranti-vaccination disinformation that threatens lives."

Censorship. On Thanksgiving no less.

Note: We are excerpting the article that follows below my intro from the Center for Family Involvement blog. For those of us with older children, adult children, this rings so profoundly true.   Kim

We love our children to the end of the universe and back, the moon is for parents of typicals. But we face exhaustion and burnout.  In my household, I care for three daughters with autism. They require 24/7 attention.  They are happy, well fed, reasonably well dressed and thriving.  I am fortunate to have budgets to staff respite hours. Very fortunate. A dear friend in our community lost her husband 3 months ago. She is now raising her severely vaccine injured daughter alone.  Many Dads are raising their special needs sons and daughters without Mom's help. Others of us are divorced, like me.  Joint custody and co-guardian are merely words on paper that might as well be Charmin - one ply.  The irony in my situation is that the less the girls' father does for them (there is no financial support and he sees them every three weeks by his choosing) the more I'm prone to burnout.And that would not be good for my daughters.

What's your story? How do you think you will cope as you age? I'm always working on ideas. Autism Ages is still up and running, with a slow start. We're too busy living today, aren't we?

What exactly is a caregiver?

We assume that parent/caregiver is interchangeable. One of the same. It’s not.

A caregiver, by definition, is a family member or paid helper who REGULARLY looks after a child or a person who is sick, elderly, or disabled. All parents serve as a caregiver from time to time. But that is not the same as the “primary caregiver” role so many of us took on the moment we became a mom or dad.

Why does this matter? 

 Acknowledging how different and challenging the parent/caregiver role is important because it can consume us without us realizing it. We love our children so deeply that the lengths we go to ensure their comfort become our new normal. But our norm is not the norm. That’s why recognizing and honoring caregivers is so important. We love our children unconditionally and will do anything for them, part of that needs to be loving ourselves too.

How is parenting different from caregiving?

Parents need babysitters. Caregivers need respite.

Parents take their kids to well visits and sick visits a couple times a year. Caregivers administer treatments and carry binders full of medical records to quarterly, monthly, sometimes weekly appointments.

Parents listen to doctors. Caregivers collaborate with doctors. Caregivers get second, third, even fourth opinions. Caregivers are often the most important part of the medical team.

Parents make dinner. Caregivers feed their children, by mouth, by tube, whatever is needed.

Parents tell their kids to do their homework while they prep dinner. Caregivers spend an hour helping a child do what should be 10 minutes of homework, which they’ve also helped modify. Dinner is a daily crapshoot.

Parents go to parent teacher conferences. Caregivers go to those conferences and also IEP meetings, behavior plan meetings, care plan meetings, person-centered planning meetings, Medicaid eligibility meetings. So many meetings.

Parents take their kids to soccer practice and drink coffee on the sidelines. Caregivers search for a sport or program that is suitable, fill out piles of paperwork, meet with the people running the program, go over accommodations needed, and are on high alert monitoring their loved one, often jumping in to help.

Parents sign their kids up for after school clubs. Caregivers contact clubs to see if supports are available. They usually aren’t. So they request assistance, offer to help change the system, or offer support themselves. Caregivers sometimes give up or don’t bother asking, because it’s not worth the effort.

A serious lawsuit: "An experimental vaccine was given to hundreds of thousands babies in Israel"

Dr. Yaffa Shir-Raz

Dr. Yaffa Shir-Raz (Ph.D., The University of Haifa, Israel) is a health and risk communication researcher, as well as a health journalist, and her interdisciplinary work in this field draws from both professions.  She is a researcher at the University of Haifa Health and Risk Communication Research Center, and a lecturer of health communication in the International Communication Program, Sammy Ofer School of Communication, IDC Herzliya, Israel.

An experimental, flawed, dangerous and harmful vaccine was given to newborns and infants in Israel, without informing their parents and without obtaining their informed consent. These serious allegations were raised last Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by Attorney Dr. Ahuva Ticho against the Israeli Ministry of Health and Scivac, the manufacturer of Sci-B-Vac. Between 2011 and 2015, Sci-B-Vac, a Hepatitis B vaccine made in Israel, was given, to 428,000 newborns and infants in Israel.

The lawsuit, for bodily injuries allegedly caused as a result of the vaccine, was filed on behalf of two children and their parents. At the same time, a motion for certification of a class action was filed against Scivac last Thursday, by attorneys David Or-Chen and Ahuva Ticho, in the amount of NIS 1,879,500,000. The class action alleges misrepresentation, loss of autonomy, exploiting distress and breach of duty to inform consumers. The motion for certification of a class action was filed on behalf of the two children and their parents.

According to an opinion that accompanies the statement of claim, by Prof. Avinoam Shofer, a pediatric neurologist, there is a reasonable basis to determine that Sci-B-Vac is the cause of the functional-developmental impairment in the two children for whom the lawsuit was filed, in the absence of any other known possible cause. With respect to plaintiff A, the statement of claim alleges that he suffers from Suffers from a severe seizures disease, epilepsy, and a developmental delay. He has multiple seizures, up to 40 a day. At the age of four, he does not speak yet, and apart from the word "father", he does not even make syllables, only sounds. As for plaintiff B, according to Prof. Shofer's opinion, his symptoms and test results indicate that he suffered from a vaccine-associated encephalitis, and today suffers from a developmental delay. 

The tip of the iceberg

The Sci-B-Vac story was exposed three years ago, on Ynet, an Israeli news website, following the Israeli Ministry of Health announcement of a recall of the Sci-B-Vac vaccine.

The recall was announced on July 29, 2015, and applied to all the batches distributed since1.1.2012. According to the recall notice, the reason for the recall, was "a technical failure in packaging". The notice emphasized that the recall was only conducted as a precautionary measure only and that there were no reports of concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. Two weeks later, in response to Ynet's investigation, the Ministry of Health issued a clarification notice, stating that the nature of the problem was "a concern about possible cracks in the vials, claimed to be the result of "a problem of a lack of synchronization at the rate of feeding the vials and labels into the machine." However, the later explanation did not reassure parents. In fact, the clarification notice may have increased parents' anxiety, especially given a recall announcement published online at the same time, by the Hong Kong Ministry of Health, where several hundred batches of the vaccine were sold. The latter announcement warned of a risk of infection and sepsis, and instructed the public to consult their healthcare professional, if in doubt or feeling unwell.

Read this meme once. Then read it again. How far fetched is it that a corporation would choose to push as brutally as possible the one product that they can market and sell to every single American, from childhood through adulthood, without a shred of fear of liability to profit? Heck, if you owned a company and could choose between selling product A - with risk and liability to your bottom line - and product B - with consumers bearing 100% of the risk with zero liability to your bottom line - which would you choose? Assuming you were a soulless, heartless machine hungry for power, profit and political gain and not a

We'll follow this story that Robert Kennedy Jr is pursuing. Gardasil will topple the vaccination nation called the United States. Mark our words. Its damage is so severe and so unmistakable that it will make even the staunchest vaccination advocates take a second look.

Look at this Tweet from author Candace Owens: Candace Owens is a political commentator and the former Director of Communications for Turning Point USA. She is the founder of the #Blexit movement. She now tours the country delivering speeches to sold out crowds. Originally from Stamford, Connecticut, she now lives in New York City.

Below is a video recording of a November 22, 2019 Information Forum on Public School Vaccinations at the Connecticut Statehouse in Hartford. (I live in Connecticut.) Connecticut is looking at removing the Religious Exemption. This forum seems to have been open and thoughtful. I have not been able to sit down to watch the full two hours. The Firum was organized by State Representative Jonathan Steinberg, of Westport. You u will see familiar names presenting including Amy Pisani, who was with Every Child by Two and who si now with the "next generation" called Vaccinate Your Family, because this includes older children, teens, Mom and Dad and grandparents as well.  Also speaking are Dr. Lawrence Palevsky, Pediatrician, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, and a scientist and engineer with 4 degrees from MIT, who went deep into risk analysis named Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. The moderator was Jessica Cadieu, whom I have met. She has a Masters degree in Public Health with a concentration in biostatistics and epidemiology. You can read her May, 2019 testimony to CT legislators arguing to retain the religious vaccine exemption here.

There is a Q&A at the end of this recording. We'll come back to you with more and will seek a transcript as well.  Kim

A friend of mine shared a slew of positive messages on one of her social media accounts.  It took me a few days to realize she was posting one per day during the month of October, but that was because I took a short social media break.  Jumping offline is always good for the mind.  It can be very good for the soul also. 

Once I logged back in and saw the upbeat messages again, I looked forward to seeing the daily suggestions she shared.  Topics like keeping hopeful, setting practical goals, and finding joy every day were peppered on her page.  I wasn’t always in a good mood when I jumped online, but after seeing those short, inspiring messages, I would take a few minutes to think about something positive.  Be it something my kids did that made me smile, or thinking about a big step Ronan finally made, I was grateful for the reminder to stop, reflect, and be thankful.  As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches this week, I thought it would be a perfect time to share just a few things that I am thankful for, too.   

While I’m certainly not grateful for my son’s vaccine injury, I am thankful that I am more educated because of it.  I fully admit that I didn’t know enough when my children were younger.  A lot of precious time and more was lost during those early years, but I am thankful for what I’ve come to realize.  With every realization, I now know better what to do and what not to do. 

With everything I’ve experienced – both the good and the bad - I am thankful that I learned how to advocate for my son.  The knowledge I’ve gained in the last decade is incredible.  It’s more than I ever could have imaged I would have to learn.  What I’ve learned has helped not just Ronan but all of my children.  While my typical children don’t need the same type of assistance their brother needs, they’ve gained a unique perspective watching me and my husband take care of their brother.  Because of what they’ve witnessed and continue to witness as Ronan’s siblings, it’s encouraging to hear my kids become more vocal in class and within their circle of friends about certain topics, like vaccines and the need for exemptions.  I’m thankful that they know the truth and are talking about it.  They’re advocating for themselves much sooner than I expected them to have to.

I am incredibly grateful for other advocates, too.  To those who paved the way before I came on the scene, like Barbara, Kim, Ann, JB, and Ginger, thank you.  From the bottom of my weary heart, I would not have known which direction to go had it not been for the brave moms and dads who started the conversation.  Thanks to all who keep that convo going.  From our old Yahoo! Group days to the several private FB groups that are still going strong, you will have my respect and admiration. 

Where I’ve scaled back some of my efforts within some of those groups, I see new names, new faces, and new energy surfacing in our community.  When I’ve had the chance to sit down at the computer, I am in awe when I scroll through my newsfeed.  People like Joshua Coleman, Hillary Simpson, and the leaders in state medical freedom groups, like Texans for Vaccine Choice and like Latinos for Medical Freedom, leave me speechless.  They have a zest for life and liberty that is unbelievably refreshing. 

Like many of our adult children with regressive, vacine induced autism, my oldest daughter is, was and I suspect, always will be a Sesame Street girl. Her very first word was "Ober" for Grover monster. She carried a Grover plush that grew to resemble the Velveteen Rabbit, loved so hard he was threadbare but still in her eyes "furry and lovable." I used to mimic his voice for her to make her laugh. And laugh she did, with bright blue eyes focused on me and a smile that was brighter than the Street Lamp with the iconic sign on it.

Last year, the girls and I moved into our own little house. During the move, I had to make a decision. In the cellar, I had bagged and hidden all of my daughter's Sesame Street plush dolls. This included the giant Grover doll her father and I bought in 1996 in a toy shop in Peddlar's Village, in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. Gianna had just been born, and we took Mia out for a big sister dinner while my Mom watched Miss G at home. I remember thinking that Grover was so expensive. Little did I know he'd be a mainstay in our lives for more than 20 years. We got our money's worth and then some. We also had a giant Big Bird, purchased at Sea World in Cleveland in 1999. Another splurge for my girls.

I threw away the bag of plush. Goodbye Grovers, goodbye Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and Elmo. All of them. I threw them away.

I know that in order to move my kids forward, sometimes I have to be tough and - move them forward. My daughter now looks at old Sesame Street CD-ROM games regularly on YouTube. Where there's a will, there's a way.

My brother was born in 1970. We watched this 1974 episode of Sesame Street together, and I've seen it with my girls many times on Sesame Street Classics. Take a look at John John who appears at the end. He grew up. He has a career. He'll have a family. Maybe he'll watch Sesame Street on HBO with his own children.  But probably not forever.  Kim

The folksy hearts are a perfect touch. Thanks Hear This Well for the honest graphic. 

Take a look at this Tweet from Dorit Reiss, pharma mouthpiece for vaccination.Clearly someone told her that vaccines recommended for pregnant woman (forced upon them really) have never been tested on pregnant women, because this is considered unethical. Unethical is bad. But unprofitable is worse.

On what planet does her Tweet make any sense. Mercury, perhaps? And who the heck LOVED that Tweet?

It is interesting that the Washington Post’s Headline includes the subtitle, “Democracy Dies in the Darkness,” when the story of vaccine injury never sees the light of day. 

The Washington Post refused to publish this Op-ed.

On November 14, 2019, thousands of ex-vaccinators (parents of injured and dead children) show up on the National Mall lawn in D.C. on a very chilly and windy day alongside the VaxXed bus. The bus has thousands of names written on the outside, thousands who have been interviewed on camera telling the world about their vaccine injures. Parents stood there on the grass with brave warriors like health advocate and attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., independent journalist Del Bigtree, and others including, clergy, scientists, and medical doctors. Yet, not one mainstream media outlet showed up to report the story or film these weeping parents holding their photos of their children.

I write this piece to acknowledge and honor our lost and injured children and the families who suffered the ultimate price by following the vaccine childhood schedule of 72 injections. And, those families whose child has died, has become disabled or sterile from the HPV vaccine.  I weep alongside them, and I keep fighting for Medical, Religious, and Parental Freedom. The U.S. Supreme Court deemed vaccines “unavoidably” unsafe. Their effectiveness is also significantly in question. Our God does not want us to harm our children. It is our constitutional right to protect our children and keep them safe from harm.

When there is a risk, there must be a choice.

I have learned that medical mandates only benefit a corrupt industry. The captured media, along with Congress, completely ignore the manipulated data and whistleblowers. Propaganda runs deep. The consensus is not science. Real science includes valid blind placebo safety testing for more than five days. Real science is not ghostwritten. The story that vaccines can create herd immunity, and that they are safe and effective may be the biggest lies ever told in history – the same playbook as tobacco science. We had to learn the hard way.

Note: Below is a terrific summary of the event last week in Washington, DC. Has anyone pointed out that "VIE" in French means "life?" Appropos, n'est pas?

Thousands Rally in DC for Vaccine Injury Awareness

By June Fakkert, Epoch Times

Nearly 3,000 people attended a rally on the National Mall in Washington on Friday to bring attention to what they say is an epidemic of vaccine injury in America, an epidemic that is not getting either the medical or media attention it needs.

The event, called the Vaccine Injury Epidemic Event, was organized by the non-profit group Crazymothers. Founder Hillary Simpson told Epoch Times that she organized the event to bring doctors lawyers, scientists, legislators, and mothers together to address the vaccine issue from every angle.

“I think when you have 53 percent of American children suffer from a chronic issue you have to start to look at it,” she told The Epoch Times.

Simpson’s son had a severe reaction after receiving several vaccinations on the same day. After she made a video describing what happened, she estimates that she heard from thousands of parents who reported similar symptoms to her son’s. Common symptoms described in the reports were very high fevers, immediate signs of gastrointestinal issues, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and seizures.

The other common theme she said is that when parents take a child with these symptoms back to their doctor, physicians say this isn’t a vaccine reaction.

Event speakers included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Del Bigtree a journalist and producer of the documentary “Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe,” which looks at evidence of fraud in one of the key MMR safety studies done by the CDC, and Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the director of “Vaxxed.” The film’s makers say the film has been heavily censored.

The event also included a screening of “Vaxxed II: The People’s Choice,” a compilation of interviews with parents collected by the “Vaxxed” film team while on a screening tour for the first film.

On the 18-month tour, over 7200 people wrote on the tour bus the names of their loved ones who they believe were injured or killed by vaccines. At Friday’s rally, over 1200 new names were added, “Vaxxed” team members told Epoch Times.  Read more at Epoch Times here.

FACE-OFF: A face-off is used to begin and restart a game like hockey and lacrosse. We need to begin and restart our writing freedom.

Good morning. Each day we see more and more censorship on Facebook on the topic of vaccinations. Facebook ages are being stamped with WARNINGS to readers, as if they are entering the XXX'iest of porn sites.   In fact, every one of our pages about vaccines should start with: "LIFE AND DEATH CONTENT! ARE YOU HUMAN?"

We go to Social Media because it's the fast food of online communication. We used to blog. We used to Yahoo Group. Now? We Tweet and Insta and Pin and Facebook. I'm trying an experiment and I need your help. Every so often, I will create a post with the same headline, changing only the date. Maybe I'll throw out a conversation starter. Or a link. And readers can go to the comments and write what they want about vaccines. Other readers can respond to the comments with their own.  You can also include URL links in your comments to direct readers to posts you think are important. We are NOT changing our position, and we will monitor for courtesy and outright rudeness.

Today is the first day of this trial. As we say in martial arts at the start of a sparring match: "Hajime!"

KIM

Let them KNOW!!!! Let them KNOW!!!!

Check out the vaccine choice messages caught on camera. This is guerrilla warfare at its best.  Kristen Bell and her spouse whatshisname have been brutal to families with vax injured children. This was quite the smart approach. Well done.

Good grief.  Take a look at this ridiculous article in the UK Guardian about Facebook post boosts/ads.  Feel free to imagine ominous music as you read. It enhances the moment. Perhaps we need a good old fashioned slogan?

About vaccines! Take a look! We'll tell you all on.... Face Book!

Most of us don't have two nickels to rub together for advertising. 54% of all the ads is how much?? This article is NONSENSE. Oh and dig this: US healthcare and pharmaceutical advertisers will increase their digital ad spending by 20.1% to $3.62 billion in 2019.

Majority of anti-vaxx ads on Facebook are funded by just two organizations

Study finds Robert F Kennedy Jr’s World Mercury Project and Larry Cook’s Stop Mandatory Vaccinations bought 54% of ads

The majority of Facebook ads spreading misinformation about vaccines are funded by two organizations run by well-known anti-vaccination activists, a new study in the journal Vaccine has found.

The World Mercury Project chaired by Robert F Kennedy Jr, and Stop Mandatory Vaccinations, a project of campaigner Larry Cook, bought 54% of the anti-vaccine ads shown on the platform during the study period.

“Absolutely we were surprised,” said David Broniatowski, a professor of engineering at George Washington University, one of the authors of the report. “These two individuals were generating the majority of the content.”

Cook uses crowd-funding platforms to raise money for Facebook ads and his personal expenses. The crowd-funding platform GoFundMe banned Cook’s fundraisers in March 2019. YouTube has demonetized Cook’s videos.   Read more here.

Kennedy is the son of the former US attorney general Bobby Kennedy. He also has a nonprofit focused on environmental causes. Kennedy’s brother, sister and niece publicly criticized his “dangerous misinformation” about vaccines in May. They called his work against vaccination, “tragically wrong”.

In fact, vaccines are one of the safest and more effective medical interventions ever developed.

The Vaccine journal study is the first to analyze anti-vaccine ads in Facebook’s advertising archive. The archive is an ad disclosure database Facebook created after the platform was criticized for spreading untraceable misinformation during the Brexit referendum and 2016 US presidential campaign.

Facebook has more than two billion users and roughly 68% of Americans get their news from the platform, the study said. In 2019, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the world’s top 10 global health threats.

Facebook’s micro-targeting algorithms, unlike television, radio or newspapers, have allowed anti-vaccine groups to home in on individuals who might be susceptible to doubts about vaccines. In particular, women and parents of young children have been targeted by Stop Mandatory Vaccination, and Cook was even censured by the UK Advertising Standards Authority last year.

“Unless you’re in the target audience you’re not going to see an ad, so it’s hard to know what other organizations might be running,” said Emily Lowther, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Hospitals Association, which has had pro-vaccination ads automatically removed from Facebook. It is unclear why Facebook removed the ads.

The interaction of aluminium-based adjuvants with THP-1 macrophages in vitro: Implications for cellular survival and systemic translocation.

Emma Shardlow, Matthew Mold, Christopher Exley

Highlights

•Untreated THP-1 macrophages can survive for up to 9 days in vitro.
•After 9 days most cells have de-differentiated to a monocytic phenotype.
•Cells rapidly engulf aluminium particulates as early as 3 h post exposure.
•Most cells are not adversely impacted by intracellular aluminium adjuvant particles.

Abstract

Within clinical vaccinations, recombinant antigens are routinely entrapped inside or adsorbed onto the surface of aluminium salts in order to increase their immunological potency in vivo. The efficacy of these immunisations is highly dependent upon the recognition and uptake of these complexes by professional phagocytes and their subsequent delivery to the draining lymph nodes for further immunological processing. While monocytes have been shown to internalise aluminium adjuvants and their adsorbates, the role of macrophages in this respect has not been fully established. Furthermore, this study explored the interaction of THP-1 macrophages with aluminium-based adjuvants (ABAs) and how this relationship influenced the survival of such cells in vitro. THP-1 macrophages were exposed to low concentrations of ABAs (1.7 μg/mL Al) for a maximum of seven days. ABA uptake was determined using lumogallion staining and cell viability by both DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) assay. Evidence of ABA particle loading was identified within cells at early junctures following treatment and appeared to be quite prolific (>90% cells positive for Al signal after 24 h). Total sample viability (% LDH release) in treated samples was predominantly similar to untreated cells and low levels of cellular death were consistently observed in populations positive for Al uptake. It can thus be concluded that aluminium salts can persist for some time within the intracellular environment of these cells without adversely affecting their viability. These results imply that macrophages may play a role in the systemic translocation of ABAs once administered in the form of an inoculation.  Read more at Science Direct here.

In the USA, we might call this "The Tuskegee method."  As I watched Vaxxed II last week, it was the Gardasil stories that affected me the strongest. The fact that the placebo in testing was not by even the lowest scientific standards a placebo haunts me. As for CHIM - controlled human infection method, it's astounding how easily those in medicine can pencil in the ethics line under the guise of science for the greater good.  We have featured Dr. Puliyel's writing many times. We thank him for his diligent, surely lonely, work.

‘Unethical’ clinical trials of vaccines pose threat to human lives

By Dr. Jacob Puliyel, Pediatrican
Published 11/11/19 in Sunday Guardian Live, an Indian e-paper

Primum non nocere—“first, do no harm”—is a basic tenet of medical ethics. That is about to change in India. “Controlled Human Infection Method” (CHIM) studies are planned to be introduced here. Humans are to be deliberately infected with diseases to test the efficiency of experimental vaccines. It will provide a shortcut to vaccine licencing and reduce costs to manufacturers.

At Hotel Taj Palace, from 19 -21 November, under the rubric of the “World Conference on access to medicinal products”, the ICMR and the DBT plan to introduce CHIM studies. According to the Economic Times, even vaccine manufacturers are advising caution before allowing such a radical departure from standard practice.

The Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), under the DBT, is spearheading the efforts under the banner of a mysterious “India Volunteer Infection Research Consortium”. Dr Y.K. Gupta, principal advisor, THSTI, has said that “initially, such studies should only be allowed in high-quality academic institutions… Similarly, at least initially, only healthy, educated adults should be included in a CHIM study”. The promoters are clear that such concessions are needed only initially.

So, the “initial” studies are to be done on drug-responsive malaria, typhoid and flu (which is self-limiting). It is claimed that CHIM volunteers are to be infected with a weakened strain of the pathogen. However according to biologics development consultant Dr K.B. Walker “a safe, well characterised strain will lose some semblance to the real “challenge” organism and so weaken the relevance of CHIM in informing further clinical development”. This defeats the main objective of doing such studies. Read more at Sunday Guardian Live.

Thank you to Dr. Bob Sears, a California pediatrician who has helped so many autism families over the years. He's also an author of several books, and part of the famous "SEARS" family of MDs. His latest book is a work for fiction under a nom de plume - and we can't recommend it enough!  A Tale of Two Sides by John Phillip Ryan is available at Amazon (don't forget to choose Age of Autism as your SMILE charity!) and at the John Phillip Ryan website.  He spoke at the VIE event in DC last week. Check out the video below. Like others, Dr. Sears has weathered significant career damage for daring to talk about vaccination problems. He's a rare man and we are grateful to him for his work.

Compliant parents are one of the things Julianna loves most about her job. Thankfully, most patients listen to her. After all, she is a nurse who helps them deliver their most precious gifts in life: babies. Yet even the most well intentioned parents sometimes push back, especially when it comes to vaccinating their children.

Paulina and Reuben Gonzalez want to do the right thing for their infant son. As they wrestle with the decision whether to vaccinate him for hepatitis B and, eventually, 15 other diseases, they seek advice from their doctor and others. The very mention of infectious disease strikes fear into the heart of every parent, so they want to make the right choice. There are those in the medical profession who believe vaccines are so critical they should be mandatory, and others who acknowledge that vaccines have risks that must be considered.

As the Gonzalez’s and dozens of other families, doctors, nurses, reporters, and politicians come together in an open, honest, and sometimes heated dialogue to explore the truths at the root of their beliefs, their lives provide a fascinating perspective on one of the most polarizing issues of our time.

No, we're not talking about the weather today.

My child has autism.  It’s the non-verbal regressive form of autism.  If he remains as cognitively delayed as he is, he’ll need life-long care.  We’re ready to provide that.  Thankfully, other groups exist to provide the kind of care he may need.

Local agencies advertise that will work with families like mine.  They can help us to get the sort of support children like my son could need as he ages.  With how much support we anticipate Ronan might require, tapping into local and state service is a godsend.  But the process to secure those services?  It’s lengthy and daunting.  I know this.  But nothing could prepare me for the emotions that came over me as I started the process. 

I shared the process several years ago with family members which is recounted in the post below.

 

I played phone tag a few weeks ago with a representative from an agency who said she can assist me.  Responsible for screening incoming clients who may need long-term special needs services, I hated to miss her return phone call.  In our area, the wait list for services isn’t just a mile long; it’s years long.  According to other parents, it’s at least 5 years long.  So, when the representative and I were finally able to connect a few days later, I made sure to be prepared.  

I plugged Ronan in to his favorite activity - the Wii.  It would surely keep him occupied while I was on the phone.

I had my list of questions ready.  There were many.

I had documents close by to reference.  The stack was at least 2” high.

I had my calendar open.  I was ready to cancel everything from here to next December to make sure Ronan got an appointment.

We started the phone call with pleasantries and then got down to business.  I explained why I’d called her office earlier.  I have a son…he has autism…he has several medical issues as well…I understand he may qualify for services…I believe that there’s a wait list…can you tell me what I need to do to get him on that list?

100 Senators. 435 Reps. Give or take.

1 nation. Under pharma. With vaccines and pills for all.  

America the sick. 

Oh how I laughed at a Facebook post on Ginger Taylor's page yesterday.  Back in August, NASA  Chief Jim Bridenstein declared that Pluto is a planet indeed, despite its intergalactic demotion in 2005.   My quip response was:

Poor Pluto... it's like planetary ASD in the DSM V.

I thought that was rather clever of me. Until I read Jill Zammit's comment:

How? I thought the science was settled?

And Jill wins the Internet!

One of the lines that vaccine injury apologists LOVE to throw around is: "THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED." Please read that in James Earl Jones' booming voice for proper resonance.

Sure. Vaccine science is settled. Like millions of American bellies after overindulging on Thanksgiving. Settled.

Find a showing of VAXXED II THE PEOPLE'S TRUTH and learn for yourself how settled is the science. The movie is completely unsettling. Especially the segments on Gardasil and SIDS, which bring in huge communities unrelated to us crazy anti-vaxxers seeking to blame something, anything for our kids autism.

Me? I don't need the head of NASA to tell me Pluto is a planet. I already know it. STEVE told me. And my kids have loved this song long after they left the Nick Jr age bracket. That's their autism. Just as real as Pluto.  I'll bet many of you can sing it with  me.  "Well the sun's a hot staaaarrrr....."

Our own Mark Blaxill was one of the speakers are yesterday's VIE event in Washington, DC. Allow me a stroll down  memory lane, if you will. In the Spring of 2006, my daughters were 10, 9 and 5 years old, and I was just beginning to write, blog and run a popular Yahoo group (RIP) called BioMedHeads. We'd left our home in Ohio and moved into my childhood home in Massachusetts with my Mom and Dad, having no where else to go. A scrubbed version of this story is in my memoir.

I attended an autism event in Waltham, Massachusetts that included a luncheon, where I sat next to a deep voiced, sharp coiffed autism father named Mark Blaxill.
We shared stories about our vaccine injured daughters and made a connection. I think he knew about my writing and I certainly knew who he was, as a leader in the autism vaccine nightmare community.

Fast forward a year. I had launched Rescue Post for JB Handley and was approached by none other than Dan Olmsted (THE Dan Olmsted from UPI!!!) and Mark Blaxill about joining forces to create a site called The Age of Autism, named after Dan's columns and a book Dan and Mark were writing about the genesis of autism. (Photo credit L Barli on FB) 

I won't go into all the ways Mark Blaxill has helped my career and family over the years. But I will tell you that there is no finer man to help us change the course of history and save childhood. And it's not the just speaking voice. LOL. Dramatic? Yes. Controversial? Some readers will think so. I do not.

Last night I watched VAXXED II, The People's Story. This movie should be required viewing for every single state and Federal politician in the United States, even if the only segment they watch is about Gardasil. The boys and girls, teens, young adults who have been maimed by Merck Gardasil and able to talk about it  is a shocking testament to the avarice and true mission of our vaccine program. Hint, health is not at the top, middle or bottom of the list. 

In 2010, almost a decade ago, Mark Blaxill wrote a scathing series here at Age of Autism that should have been front page news of every single newspaper in the USA. It was not. It's called "Gardasil: A License to Kill," and it chronicles the early days of this vaccine, when it was for women 16 to about mid twenties and promoted to stop cervical cancer. Now? States are pushing this farcical shot series for boys (under the guise of preventing cancer in their some day partners) and girls as young as KINDERGARTEN. Some states are eyeing it as part of the school mandates.  NY bill would require HPV vaccine for children to enter school, daycare  Here is the three part series below.

Gardasil: A License to Kill By Mark Blaxill
 
Part 1:  How A Public-Private Partnership Made the Government Merck’s Gardasil Partner

“Perhaps no other recent product on the market demonstrates successful health care technology transfer better than the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil, produced by Merck & Co. and approved by the FDA in June 2006,” proclaimed a recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) newsletter. In a February 23, 2007 article entitled “From Lab to Market: The HPV Vaccine”, the NIH Record celebrated the pivotal role of government researchers in developing Merck’s Gardasil product. “Based largely on technology developed at NIH,” the newsletter reported, “the vaccine works to prevent four types of the sexually transmitted HPV that together cause 70 percent of all cervical cancer and 90 percent of genital warts (HERE).
 
The occasion motivating this celebratory article was the “Philip S. Chen, Jr. Distinguished Lecture on Innovation and Technology Transfer” given by Douglas T. Lowy, one of the NIH scientists involved in developing the HPV vaccine. In the ceremony pictured above, Lowy is receiving an honorary poster from the head of NIH at the time, Elias Zerhouni, who took advantage of the occasion to shower praise on his team’s work, one he viewed as a model for future efforts. “It’s a ‘heroic’ story about the effort to fight cervical cancer, the second most deadly cancer for women worldwide, said NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni,” in the NIH Record’s account. “He noted that he has talked about the vaccine’s creation to Congress and with the President on his recent visit to NIH. How researchers took the technology ‘from the lab to the marketplace is a journey we can learn from,’ Zerhouni said.”
 
While Zerhouni was bragging to anyone in Washington D.C. who would listen about the NIH team’s role in this historic accomplishment, the vaccine's developers were actively spreading the news of their achievement in scientific circles. It’s hard to blame them, because at the time Lowy and his colleague John T. Schiller, leaders of the team that had invented the technology for the “virus-like particles” (or VLPs) that made Gardasil possible, were in some pretty heady company. In 2008, Harald zur Hausen, the scientist who discovered the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer during the 1980s, received one half of the Nobel Prize in Medicine; the two researchers at the Pasteur Institute who had discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) had to share the other half.

Note: Thank you to Laura Hayes for sending out this letter from California chiropractor Dr. Darrel Crain. It's a perfect read today, the day of the VIE event in Washington, DC. All hail theVaxocracy! Or face the consequences..... The letter is printed below.

They Shoot Children Don’t They?

Welcome to the state of Calipharmia, formerly known as California. The Vaxocratic Party, formerly the democrats, have ushered in a new form of government here best described as a Vaxocracy.

Under the laws of the new vaxocracy, free speech is protected. Well, almost. Every topic imaginable can be freely debated and openly discussed. Except vaccines. Vaccines are totally off limits. Period. Are questions allowed? Nope. Concerns? Forget about it.

Virtually all children, without exception, must get every shot on the government list. Not to worry though, this is all free choice. Parents can decide their kids will get the shots, and their kids can go to school. Or, parents can decide their kids are better off without the shots. No problem, no school.

Any parent who disagrees or feels uncertain about their child getting every shot on the CDC vaccine schedule is an “at-risk” parent suffering “vaccine hesitancy” according to vaxocratic doctrine, which protocol requires that these parents be called out and publicly humiliated.

If you have children in your home not fully vaccinated, Child Protective Services may soon be ringing your doorbell. And CPS may call the police. When the police arrive, they may take your child and hand her over to CPS to be placed in foster care. What could possibly go wrong?

If you are a medical doctor who has helped parents exempt their child from mandatory shots to avoid vaccine-induced illness, your career is pretty much finished. Investigation, chastisement, debasement, and punishment are in your immediate future. Also, your medical license is on the line.

But a medical license appears to be irrelevant now. By vaxocratic decree, medical decision-making for children now resides in the hands of government desk-jockeys. The vaxocrats have ruled that state functionaries are much more qualified than parents and family doctors to decide what is best for each child. Pencil-pushers working for the state now have the authority to just say no to medical exemptions they don’t like. Which is every medical exemption that ever crosses their desk.

Bureaucrats have been steeped in proper vaxocratic doctrine, which is as easy as one, two, three:

First, no vaccine has ever harmed a flea. (Not that vaccines are actually tested on fleas for safety. But then again, no vaccine is ever safety tested at all, for children or otherwise.)

Second, vaccine-induced catastrophic illness only exists in the wild imaginations of parents, who are obviously confused and delusional from reading vaccine misinformation and disinformation on the Internet. In other words, they have been reading actual information unacceptable to vaxocratic logic.

Third, experts agree, everything is fine. Don’t worry, be happy.

Rest assured these conclusions are supremely trustworthy, because they are the result of years of honest and careful consideration by the vaccine industry on how to effectively spread a perfectly uncritical belief in the holiness of vaccines. It is hard enough to convince a healthy person to accept a medical intervention known to cause severe illness and death, but much worse once they realize vaccines are wholly unnecessary, horribly neurotoxic, and responsible for many ruined lives and much pointless suffering.

I’m about to watch Vaxxed II in Milford,CT. Never give up. Keep reporting. Thank you to the Vaxxed team and our AofA family. Kim

Government’s gift to Pharma of liability-free vaccines puts children’s health at risk states Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Chairman, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Washington, DC – Thousands of advocates for children’s health will gather Thursday at the Vaccine Injury Epidemic (VIE) Event on the National Mall to mark the 33^rd anniversary of National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). The rally on Nov. 14^th will spotlight the devastating impact NCVIA has had upon the state of children’s health. While children continue to be injured by vaccines daily, vaccine makers cannot be held accountable, thereby eliminating incentive for vaccine safety.

In his remarks, RFK, Jr. will address the ramifications of NCVIA and honor those whose lives have been impacted by vaccine injury and death. “It’s time to call out Congress, the CDC, and drug companies for allowing industry profits to trump children’s health,” said Kennedy. “There is no crisis more urgent than the epidemics of chronic health conditions among our nation’s children.”

Following NCVIA’s passage creating the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the childhood vaccine market sparked a gold rush for Pharma as more vaccines for routine childhood illnesses were developed. Coterminous with the burgeoning vaccine schedule, chronic health conditions in children rose from 12% to 54%. As vaccine industry profits grew to $50 billion annually, so did diagnoses of asthma, autism, ADHD, allergies, anxiety, depression, diabetes, obsessive-compulsive disorder and auto-immune diseases.  Here are the facts:

• An HHS-funded study found only 1% of vaccine injuries are reported.
• Despite NVICP’s high burden of proof and two out of three claims dismissed, over $4.2 billion has been paid for claims of vaccine injury or death.
• The vaccine-injured find NVICP to be a years-long, litigious program with no jury, discovery and precedent. While medical bills mount, the injured are up against DOJ lawyers and HHS “Special Masters” that act as judges.
• The Department of Justice and the NVICP are accused of fraud and obstruction of justice in the Autism Omnibus Proceeding.
• The Institute of Medicine reports that the vaccine schedule as recommended has never been studied for long-term health effects despite independent research suggesting that unvaccinated children are healthier.
• Modern medicine acknowledges that not everyone responds the same to vaccination and the “one size fits all” vaccine policy is not science based.

Children’s Health Defense’s created these six steps to vaccine safety. RFK, Jr. interviews are available upon request.

New word! Vaxcurious.  There are other versions of "-curious" that are en vogue today, so why not a version devoted to an important topic like vaccination?

A person who is vaxcurious is one who asks, or WANTS to ask questions about vaccination. Most AofA readers are way past being vaxcurious - we have solidly formed opinions based in fact, science and personal experience. But much of America does not. And we need to let them know that they have the right to ask questions. 

Vaxcurious. Hashtag it. Share it. It will encourage conversation in a way that cuts "anti-vax" and it's pejorative connotation off at the knees.
