  • THE SEARCH FOR VACCINE TRANSPARENCY: Is Your Doctor a Trustworthy Source of Information?

    This post is not a comprehensive study. It is meant to give a fact-based overview from a viewpoint that has been banned, ridiculed and essentially omitted from public view. We are no longer a country of free speech: those seeking truthful answers in this, and other, debates have been silenced. Those who are unaware that pharmaceutical lobbies run the politicians and also the media in this country, and that social media has shut down alternative viewpoints related to vaccines, and that a full-scale assault on holism is being waged by entities like Google (which possess vested financial interest in pharmaceutical-related entities), should take stock of the actions against the First Amendment in this country before it is too late. 

    Add to this that the proponents of vaccines have billions of dollars at their disposal, while those pushing for truth and transparency – those “dangerous,” “crazy” “anti-vaxers” – find themselves financially disadvantaged having lost their jobs, reputations and even their lives when they persist in their research.

    Google is Now a Pharmaceutical Company

    I can vouch first hand that NO-ONE pays for vaccine transparency articles or anything that contradicts the mainstream narrative, making for a real Samson and Goliath situation.

    On to the question:

    Are doctors a trustworthy source of info on vaccines? In other words, are they free from bias, with your’s or your child’s best interests at heart?

    First…

    let’s start with the issue of vaccine safety, or the proven fact that no studies have been done demonstrating the SAFETY of vaccines or EFFICACY of vaccines or of CONCOMITANT (concurrent) vaccines usage.

    Don’t believe me?

    In 2018, it was established by ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) that governmental agencies, along with vaccine manufacturers, have not complied with the congressional mandate established in1986, which provided immunity from lawsuits, and eliminated liability for the drug companies AS LONG AS THEY SHOWED PROOF THAT VACCINES WERE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. AND MORE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE THAN THE VACCINES ON THE MARKET PRIOR TO THEIR INTRODUCTION.

    In this bill, vaccine manufacturers were congressionally mandated to provide research EVERY TWO YEARS to the CDC and HHS, demonstrating the increasing safety and efficacy of the vaccines they were introducing.

    IN 30 YEARS NO REPORTS WERE EVER PROVIDED!

    Here is the court document proving it:

    This means all the alleged “anti-vaxers” who are in reality transparency activists, such as parents of vaccine-injured children, are correct??

    FACT: No studies have been done to date, or provided to, or by, any  government agencies, proving vaccines are safe and effective, or that their ever-increasing number is justified.

    This is NOT a conspiracy theory. Transparency advocates are NOT crying wolf when they ask, “where is the science“? 

    More on that to come. 

    For nowyou should know that ALL of the 72 vaccines mandated for children are produced by four companies: Merck, Sanofi, Pfizer, and Glaxo-Smith Kline. 

    There have been multiple whistleblower testimonies and court cases proving that these companies obfuscate, omit or misrepresent the truth in order to get their products onto the market. They are repeatedly proven to have delivered known, dangerous products to the public, with minor financial redress, while being allowed to continue these practices.

    VIDEOTAPED DEPOSITION OF STANLEY A. PLOTKIN, M.D. – 1/11/2018

    Despite the leaks and court cases, press coverage is little to none, and the stories are mostly buried by the big search engines and falsely discredited by social media and ‘shill’ companies such as Snopes, which was set up precisely for the purpose of making people disbelieve truthful information.

    In addition to making $60-billion per year selling vaccines, pharmaceutical companies make an additional $500-billion selling medications for diseases the vaccines cause.

    But it isn’t proven vaccines cause autism, neurological impairment or any other disease” you might say. This will be addressed in a future post. In the meantime, take a look at this informative, fact-based and substantive article:

    CDC, WHO and Big Pharma Collaborate to Conceal Vaccine-Autism Link Data from Public

    For now, let’s examine the sources your pediatrician or GP listen to. Take the CDC for instance, which functions as a vaccine company with a budget of $11- billion per year. $5-billion is spent on buying vaccines at inflated prices. The CDC approves vaccines, buys them from their manufacturer associates, and then tells 78-million people to use them even though they have never been tested for safety. To date, the CDC holds patents to multiple (hundreds!) of vaccine related products, profiting from each one.

    Below, are just a very few of the hundreds of patents owned by the CDC AND FROM WHICH THEY DERIVE PROFIT.

    It’s not just the CDC that can’t be trusted, but the other agencies as well.

    At risk of being labelled ‘conspiracy theory’ (a term invented in the 50’s to discredit whistleblowers), there is this memo by (WHO) the World Health Organization which explains how to use vaccines as bio-weapons:

    Putting aside the WHO memo for now, how about the dozens of suppressed (and murdered), whistleblowers who have researched or shared the link between autism and vaccines, and who discovered nefarious ingredients in vaccines such as ‘nagalase’, a known cancer-causing ingredient that suppresses GcMAF?

    “GcMAF (Globulin component Macrophage Activating Factor) is not a drug, but a naturally occurring compound produced in the human body. GcMAF was being produced in Europe and Dr. Bradstreet was using it with his patients. He was conducting clinical experiments the results of which were published in scientific medical journals

    The ability of GcMAF to do its normal job can be inhibited by the presence of a protein called alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase or Nagalase for short. Nagalase is made by all cancer cells and viruses (HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, influenza, herpes, Epstein-Barr virus, and others). Nagalase blocks the production of GcMAF, thus preventing the immune system from doing its job. By using injections of GcMAF, one can boost the immune system to destroy the cancer and virus. It’s the most natural cure in the world and other countries are already using it, even for pets.

    In the course of his research, Dr. Bradstreet discovered that the levels of Nagalase are elevated in children with autism. The result of the immune suppression caused by Nagalase is seen in digestive disorders, sensory overload, and numerous types of processing dysfunction in the brain. Increased levels of Nagalase are associated with higher levels of autistic symptoms. Nagalase is like Attila the Hun in the amount of destruction it can wreak on the body.

    Nagalase is not something children are born with. This puzzled Bradstreet and his colleagues (the other doctors who are now dead). If autistic children don’t have cancer or viral infections, which correlates with Nagalase production, then how did it get into the bodies of infants and young children?” https://www.trinfinity8.com/gcmaf-nagalase-why-8-holistic-doctors-were-murdered-others-poisoned/

    One thing doctors will say to you is  that very few if any vaccine-related injuries are reported. A whole book could be written on this issue alone, but suffice to say that according to the CDC’s OWN STUDY, less than 10% of reactions are reported. The study is below. This ten percent of reported adverse effects is estimated by the study to represent in reality only 1% of adverse events, as many parents don’t make the connection, are talked out of the relationship between the reaction and the vaccines by their doctors, or don’t have the funds to fight their claims in court as so many are forced to do.

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation System is based on the honor system, relying on untrained parents to report adverse reactions due to the vaccination of their child and follow the appropriate due process to petition their claim with the V.I.C.S. system. Most medical professionals, media, and the regulatory authorities report that vaccines are safe and effective, leaving little reason for parents to inquire about an injury from a vaccine.

    Parents can report adverse reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in the event that they witness an abnormal reaction or behavior in their child that they attribute to a recent vaccine administered to them.

    However, according to the CDC and the FDA none of the vaccines have been studied to examine the effects of concomitant vaccine usage. Therefore it would be impossible for parents to ever be properly informed about the potential signs to look for in the case of an adverse event because there are no studies that have been done to draw conclusions from in order to justify the efficacy of vaccines, or to nullify their usage due to other reasons. 

    HARVARD STUDY ON V.A.E.R.S.

    In this study, the researchers reported that the system was only capturing approximately 1% of the actual adverse events being caused by vaccines.

    Based on this research using the VAERS system, vaccines could be responsible for approximately 672,408 major injuries including death and autism.

    This information was shared with Human Health Services as this project was funded by a Federal grant under the umbrella of ‘The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’ (AHRQ), at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

    So back to our question, revised again, with apologies for the deviations:

    IS YOUR DOCTOR BIASED?

    If you consider that medical schools offer NO holistic viewpoint and pharma-based tutelage only, without looking at the 5000+ year-old schools of medicine taught in China and India for instance, or the schools of herbology, or that of true immunology: homeopathy, or the burgeoning fields of energetic, vibrational, & quantum medicines,

    How can this be considered well-rounded and informed?

    Would you consider financial incentives to be a motive for bias, or at least a conflict of interest?

    From the Alliance for Natural Health:

    “…Blue Cross Blue Shield pays pediatricians $400 per fully vaccinated child. If your pediatrician has just 100 fully-vaccinated patients turning 2 this year, that’s $40,000. Yes, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2. If your doctor manages to fully vaccinate 200 patients, that bonus jumps to $80,000. 

    “But here’s the catch: Under Blue Cross Blue Shield’s rules, pediatricians lose the whole bonus unless at least 63% of patients are fully vaccinated, and that includes the flu vaccine. So it’s not just $400 on your child’s head–it could be the whole bonus. To your doctor, your decision to vaccinate your child might be worth $40,000, or much more, depending on the size of his or her practice.

    If your pediatrician recommends that your child under the age of two receive the flu vaccine—even though the flu vaccine has never been studied in very young children and evidence suggests that the flu vaccine actually weakens a person’s immune system over the long term[2]–ask yourself:  Is my doctor more concerned with selling me vaccines to keep my child healthy or to send his child to private school?” 

    Hard to believe, isn’t it? But the Blue Cross/Blue Shield/Blue Care of Michigan “2016 Performance Incentive Booklet looks real…download it from 

    and read what it says yourself. If this web-address is “not available” or “no longer available” (found it today when this was written) that alone tells you something, doesn’t it?”

    In other words, a typical doctor can supplement his yearly income by $80,000 or more PER YEAR, by fully vaccinating 200 patients.

  • East Islip Union Free School District of NY – Fighting Against New Mandatory Flu & HPV Vaccine – Proposed Bill

    Are these politicians, i.e., Governor Cuomo, on the same corrupt mission as Bill “The Gates of Hell” Gates – destined to destroy humanity as we know it?

    New immunization rules poised to affect districts, parents as school year nears

    With the start of the school year less than a month away, school officials and parents are in the midst of adjusting to stricter state immunization requirements for children that will eliminate exemption from vaccines due to religious beliefs.  

    The new measure, which took effect immediately after Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed it into law June 13, comes in the wake of numerous measles cases throughout the country including cases in Brooklyn and Rockland County. This year, over 1,000 new measles cases have been reported — the highest in 27 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  

    “We are responsible for implementing the new state immunization regulations exactly as they are written.”

    — Marianne Cartisano

    New York joins four other states — California, Maine, Mississippi and West Virginia — in eliminating the religious exemption.

    While school districts have been notifying parents and guardians about the new requirements through posts on their websites and letters sent in the mail, the new law remains to be a divisive topic. 

    Advocates of the religious exemption say that eliminating it violates their freedom of religion rights. 

    South Setauket and Setauket parents Dayna Whaley and Trisha Vasquez, respectively, both ardent anti-vaccine advocates, both said they had a religious exemption for their children but they and others are now considering home-schooling or even moving out of the state. 

    “God made us in his image and didn’t make us with an incomplete immune system that needed to be injected with toxic chemicals in order to keep us healthy,” said Vasquez, 50. She added she does not subscribe to any one religion but still believes in God. She has a 9-year-old child in the Three Village Central School District. 

    Whaley, 41, of the Jewish faith, said the options are very limited for her daughter, Grayson, who will be entering kindergarten. 

    “With religious exemption eliminated, what other things can I look at that maybe could get my child [back] into school,” she said. 

    In mid-June, the Three Village school district sent out a letter to parents/guardians alerting them of the new legislation signed by the governor. It advised them that every student entering or attending public school must be immunized against poliomyelitis, mumps, measles, Haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal disease and meningococcal disease. 

    Other school districts have also had to quickly deal with the law over the summer. Marianne Cartisano, superintendent of the Miller Place School District, said the number of exemptions in the district was estimated at 60 students, but the number has been reduced over the past several weeks. 

    “Miller Place School District remains committed to ensuring a safe school environment for all of our students, while understanding parents have the right to choose if and when they immunize their children,” the superintendent said in an email. “We are responsible for implementing the new state immunization regulations exactly as they are written.”

    “You look at the plastic bag ban — you have until 2020 to adjust to that, but our children are thrown out of school immediately and we are scrambling to figure out what to do here.”

    — Dayna Whaley

    The Miller Place super added the district has no option but to comply.

    “We have no authority to deviate from these regulations and must adhere to the guidance provided to our district from the Department of Health and or Office of Children and Family Services,” she said. “During this time of potential transition, we look forward to supporting students and families throughout the vaccination and enrollment processes.”

    The New York law requires that parents and guardians provide proof of their child’s immunization within 14 days after the first day of school. Also, within 30 days of the first day of school, parents or guardians must show that they scheduled appointments for follow-up doses for their children. 

    Some required immunizations include those against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chicken pox).

    Until June 30, 2020, a child can attend school if they receive the first age-appropriate dose in each immunization series within 14 days from the first day of school attendance and can show within 30 days that they have scheduled age-appropriate appointments for required follow-up doses, according to NYS Department of Health officials. By June 30, 2020, all students attending school should be fully up-to-date with their required immunizations. 

    One option Whaley and others have looked at is seeking a medical exemption from state, but she said it is extremely difficult to obtain one as an individual has to fit a certain medical profile. 

    “Even if we wanted a medical exemption, try finding a doctor that will write one for you or even allow you in their practice,” the South Setauket resident said.

    Anti-vaccine proponents are a small but growing group of advocates who argue against vaccination. The group often relies on scientifically disputed pieces of information. The vast majority of the scientific and medical communities have rejected their arguments. 

    Beyond the scientific arguments, the Setauket parents took issue with the law going into effect immediately. 

    “You look at the plastic bag ban — you have until 2020 to adjust to that, but our children are thrown out of school immediately and we are scrambling to figure out what to do here,” Whaley said. 

    Both parents say they are weighing potential co-op and home-schooling options for their children. They said moving would introduce its own host of difficulties.

    Dr. Sharon Nachman, division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, said she is glad to have this level of protection for all children in Suffolk County. 

    “Just as seat belts protect all kids, even those that don’t like them or feel they are too confining, vaccines will now protect all of our children,” the division chief said. “There is abundant data that shows that when we vaccinate all kids, we not only protect them, but also their parents and grandparents. The vaccine law is not specific to measles and includes all vaccines appropriate for school-aged children.”

    “Just as seat belts protect all kids, even those that don’t like them or feel they are too confining, vaccines will now protect all of our children.”

    — Sharon Nachman

    According to a report by the New York Health Foundation, 26,217 students statewide, had religious exemptions from vaccinations during the 2017-18 school year. 

    Nachman said with the implementation of the new requirements, she and her colleagues have seen an increase in both questions about vaccinations, about the numbers of children who are getting their initial vaccines as well as those who are getting up to date with their vaccines. 

    “Community protection is a real event,” Nachman said. “As we have seen with the recent measles outbreaks, the only way to combat these outbreaks is by protecting all the children in our community.”

    Nachman said the Pediatric Infectious Diseases division at Stony Brook often discusses the scientific data with families who have questions, but those who come in with their minds made up about the risks and benefits of vaccines, especially those who are against them, will rarely agree with the need to vaccinate.

    On Tuesday, Aug. 10, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced his resignation.

    The announcement came a week after the release of a report by state Attorney General Letitia James (D) saying independent investigators concluded that the governor harassed multiple women from 2013-20. The resignation came after a virtual press conference held by his attorney Rita Glavin. She criticized the attorney general’s report and said it contains errors and omissions when recounting allegations made against Cuomo. Glavin added that each account needs more investigation.

    “I think that women should be believed and they should be treated fairly,” she said. “I also believe men should be believed and treated fairly. All people should be given that, and everybody should have a chance to respond, and everybody should be scrutinized with what they say by facts, context and evidence. That hasn’t happened here.”

    After the attorney general’s report was released, one of the alleged victims, former executive assistant Brittany Commisso, filed a criminal complaint saying the governor groped her and fondled her breast.

    Cuomo said during his announcement that he will step down in 14 days. He will be replaced by Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) who will become the state’s first female governor.

    The outgoing governor said he thanked those with sincere complaints as the women coming forward taught him an important lesson, and he said he took responsibility.

  • Safety Study Of Live, Oral Human Rotavirus Vaccine

    The live, oral human rotavirus vaccine (RV1) has been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2008 and it is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals.

    This study was funded by a research contract between Optum and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A. and the purpose of the study was to monitor the safety of the RV1 vaccine as part of a regulatory commitment for post-licensure.  At the end of the study, they claimed that the RV1 is considered safe, even though there is an increased convulsion risk after Dose 1!

    Important items to note about this document:

    Manipulation of Data:

    This study claims that there was an increased convulsion following RV1 Dose 1, but that it is “inconclusive as it was observed in only one of the claims databases.  The IRR following RV1 Dose 1 in the SCCS analysis lacked precision (2.40, 95% CI: 0.73 – 7.86).”

    Conflicts of Interest:

    The people who conducted the study are all employees who either worked for Optum and hold shares/stocks in the parent company of Optum (UnitedHealth Group, Inc.) or employees who worked for GlaxoSmithKline and some hold shares in the GSK group of companies.  There are also employees who worked for HealthCore, Inc., and their employer received funding for conduct of the study sponsored by the GSK group of companies.
