Data and

every parent

should be aware of
 Updated: June 20, 2017

Introduction
My name is Rod Klingler. I am a concerned parent and independent
researcher. Over the years I have come across a great deal of data relating
to vaccines that should really be in every parents possession, but that no
one seems to be aware of despite much of it being openly available.

In this document, I present a collection of graphs and quotes that address

the assertion that vaccines saved the world from common childhood
illnesses. Whether or not you believe vaccines are beneficial, no one
benefits from a lie. Please, read the data for yourself and come to your
own conclusion.

asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic infections in DTaP-immunized persons may result in
transmission of B. pertussis to others and may drive pertussis outbreaks.

As the following charts and graphs illustrate, this phenomenon is not just
confined to the United States and Great Britain. Other countries also saw
the decline, eradication, or near eradication, of childhood illnesses prior to
the introduction of vaccines. This information was prepared for the

Preceding Public Immunization Efforts

Figures one (1) through eleven (11) graphically illustrate that in North America, Europe, and the
South Pacific , major declines in life-threatening infectious diseases occurred historically either
without, or far in advance of public immunization efforts for specific diseases as listed. This
provides irrefutable evidence that vaccines are not necessary for the effective elimination of a
wide range of infectious diseases

Immunization Effectiveness

Figures eleven (12) through twenty-four (24) graphically illustrate that immunization is not by
any means a proven and foolproof measure for protection from various infectious disease
conditions. It is often inconsequential epidemiologically, and in some cases it is shown to
actually worsen health-care outcomes.

Immunization Dangers

Figures twenty-five (25) through thirty three (33) graphically illustrate that increases in the
number of governmental mandated vaccines correlates with significant increases in death rates
for children under the age of five (5); and that the practice is linked to sudden infant death
syndrome; various degenerative diseases, including diabetes; and appears to cause general
immune system impairment in infants and children. Evidence also points to the practice of
immunization as a principal factor in the recent massive increases in neurodegenerative
conditions such as autism in children.

Attorney Alan G. Phillips discovered that there are serious contradictions
between medical science and actual policy when it comes to
immunization. He discovered, as many parents have, that doctors and
pediatricians are often unwilling to discuss the issue, believing that if there
were any truth to the matter they would have been told so in medical
school or read about it in medical journals. I can also vouch for this from
firsthand experience, as can many whistleblowers from the medical and
pharmaceutical industries. On this issue, and others, I highly recommend
the documentary BOUGHT, which can be viewed for free here: http://

features interviews with mostly doctors, but also state fraud investigators,
pharmaceutical distributors, and others.
 DISPELLING VACCINATION MYTHS:
An Introduction to the Contradictions Between
Medical Science and Immunization Policy
By Alan G. Phillips, J.D. (Revised 2002, Myth #9 2007)
INTRODUCTION
When my son was set to begin
his routine vaccination series at age 2
months, I didnt know there were any
risks associated with immunizations. But
the clinic's flyer contained a contradic-
tion: my childs chances of a serious ad-
verse reaction to the DPT vaccine were
one in 1750, while his chances of dying
from pertussis were one in several mil-
lion. When I pointed this out to the phy-
sician, he angrily disagreed, and stormed
out of the room mumbling, I guess I
should read that [flyer] sometime...
Soon thereafter I learned of a child who
had been permanently disabled by a vac-
cine, so I decided to investigate for my-
self. My findings have so alarmed me
that I feel compelled to share them;
hence, this report.
Health authorities credit vaccines
for disease declines, and assure us of
their safety and effectiveness. Yet these
assumptions are directly contradicted by
government statistics, published medical
studies, Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) reports, and the opinions of
credible research scientists from around
the world. In fact, infectious diseases
declined steadily for decades prior to
mass immunizations, doctors in the U.S.
report thousands of serious vaccine reac-
tions each year including hundreds of
deaths and permanent disabilities, fully
vaccinated populations have experienced
epidemics, and researchers attribute doz-
ens of chronic immunological and neu-
rological diseases that have risen
dramatically in recent decades to mass
immunization campaigns.
Decades of studies published in
the worlds leading medical journals
have documented vaccine failure and
serious adverse vaccine events, includ-
ing death. Dozens of books written by
doctors, researchers, and independent
investigators reveal serious flaws in im-
munization theory and practice. Yet, in-
credibly, most pediatricians and parents
are unaware of these findings. This has
begun to change in recent years, how-
ever, as a growing number of parents
and healthcare providers around the
world are becoming aware of the prob-
lems and questioning mass mandatory
immunization. There is a growing inter-
national movement away from mass
mandatory immunization. This report
introduces some of the information that
provides the basis for the movement.
My point is not to tell anyone
whether or not to vaccinate, but rather,
with the utmost urgency, to point out
some very good reasons why everyone
should examine the facts before deciding
whether or not to submit to the proce-
dure. As a new parent, I was shocked to
discover the absence of a legal mandate
or professional ethic requiring pediatri-
cians to be fully informed of the risks of
vaccination, let alone to inform parents
that their children risk death or perma-
nent disability upon being vaccinated. I
was equally dismayed to see first-hand
the prevalence of physicians who are, if
with the best of intentions, applying
practices based on incompleteand in
some cases, outright misinformation.
 This report is only a brief intro-
duction; your own further investigation
is warranted and strongly recommended.
You may discover that this is the only
way to get an objective view, as the con-
troversy is a highly emotional one.
A word of caution: Many have
found pediatricians unwilling or unable
to discuss this subject calmly with an
open mind. Perhaps this is because they
have staked their personal identities and
professional reputations on the presumed
safety and effectiveness of vaccines, and
because they are required by their pro-
fession to promote vaccination. But in
any event, anecdotal reports suggest that
most doctors have great difficulty ac-
knowledging evidence of problems with
vaccines. The first pediatrician I at-
tempted to share my findings with yelled
angrily at me when I calmly brought up
the subject. The misconceptions have
very deep roots.
VACCINATION MYTH #1:
Vaccines are safe...
...or are they?
The Federal government VAERS
(Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting Sys-
tem) was established by Congress under
the National Childhood Vaccine Injury
Compensation Act of 1986. It receives
about 11,000 reports of serious adverse
reactions to vaccinations annually,
which include as many as one to two
hundred deaths, and several times that
number of permanent disabilities.1
VAERS officials report that 15% of ad-
verse events are serious (emergency
room trip, hospitalization, life-
threatening episode, permanent disabil-
2
ity, death). Independent analysis of
VAERS reports has revealed that up to
50% of reported adverse events for the
Hepatitis B vaccine are serious.2
While these figures are alarming, they
are only the tip of the iceberg. The FDA
estimates that as few as 1% of serious
adverse reactions to vaccines are re-
ported,3,4 and the CDC admits that only
about 10% of such events are reported.5
In fact, Congress has heard testimony
that medical students are told not to re-
port suspected adverse events.6
The National Vaccine Informa-
tion Center (NVIC, a grassroots organi-
zation founded by parents of vaccine-
injured and killed children) has con-
ducted its own investigations.7 It re-
ported: In New York, only one out of
40 doctor's offices confirmed that they
report a death or injury following vacci-
nation. In other words, 97.5% of vac-
cine related deaths and disabilities go
unreported there. Implications about
medical ethics aside (federal law directs
doctors to report serious adverse
events8), these findings suggest that vac-
cine deaths and serious injuries actually
occurring may be from 10 to 100 times
greater than the number reported.
With pertussis (often referred to
as whooping cough), the number of
vaccine-related deaths dwarfs the num-
ber of disease deaths, which have been
about 10 annually for many years ac-
cording to the CDC, and only 8 in 1993,
one of the last peak-incidence years (per-
tussis runs in 3-4 year cycles; no none
knows why, but vaccination rates have
no such cycles). When you factor in un-
der-reporting, the vaccine may be 100
times more deadly than the disease.
Some argue that this is a necessary cost
to prevent the return of a disease that
would be more deadly than the vaccine.
But when you consider the fact that the
vast majority of disease decline this cen-
tury preceded the widespread use of vac-
cinations (pertussis mortality declined
79% prior to vaccines), and the fact that
rates of disease declines remained virtu-
ally unchanged following the introduc-
tion of mass immunization, present day
vaccine casualties cannot reasonably be
explained away as a necessary sacrifice
for the benefit of a disease-free society.
Unfortunately, the vaccine-
related-deaths story doesnt end here.
Studies internationally have shown vac-
cination to be a cause of SIDS9,10 (SIDS,
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is a
catch-all diagnosis given when the
specific cause of death is unknown; es-
timates range from 5,000 to 10,000 cases
each year in the US). One study found
the peak incidence of SIDS occurred at
the ages of 2 and 4 months in the U.S.,
precisely when the first two routine im-
munizations are given,11 while another
found a clear pattern of correlation ex-
tending three weeks after immunization.
Another study found that 3,000 children
die within 4 days of vaccination each
year in the U.S. (amazingly, the authors
reported no SIDS/vaccine relationship),
while yet another researchers studies
led to the conclusion that at least half of
SIDS cases are caused by vaccines.12
Initial studies suggesting a causal
relationship between SIDS and vaccines
were quickly followed by vaccine-
manufacturer-sponsored studies conclud-
ing that there is no relationship between
SIDS and vaccines; one such study
claimed that there was a slightly lower
incidence of SIDS in vaccinees. How-
ever, many of these studies were called
into question by yet another study that
3
found confounding had erroneously
skewed the results of these studies in
favor of the vaccine.13 At best, there is
conflicting evidence. But shouldn't we
err on the side of caution? Shouldn't any
credible correlation between vaccines
and infant deaths be just cause for me-
ticulous, widespread monitoring of the
vaccination status of all SIDS cases?
Health authorities have chosen to err on
the side of denial rather than caution.
In the mid 1970's Japan raised
their vaccination age from two months to
two years; their incidence of SIDS
dropped dramatically;14 they went from
an infant mortality ranking of 17 to first
in the world (i.e., Japan had the lowest
infant death rate when infants were not
being immunized). Englands vaccina-
tion rate temporarily dropped to about
30% at about the same time following
media reports of vaccine-related brain
damage. Infant mortality dropped sub-
stantially for about 2 years, then rose
again in close correlation to rising im-
munization rates in the late 1970s. De-
spite these experiences, the medical
community maintains a posture of de-
nial. Coroners dont check the vaccina-
tion status of SIDS victims, and
unsuspecting families continue to pay
the price, unaware of the dangers and
denied the right to make an informed
choice.
FDA and CDC admissions about
the lack of adverse event reporting sug-
gests that the total number of adverse
reactions actually occurring each year
may actually fall within a range of
100,000 to a million (with serious
events being approximately 20% of
these). This concern is underscored by a
study revealing that 1 in 175 children
who completed the full DPT series suf-
fered severe reactions,15 and a Dr.'s
report for attorneys stating that one in
300 DPT immunizations resulted in sei-
zures.16
England actually saw a drop in
pertussis deaths when vaccination rates
dropped to 30% in the mid 70's. Swedish
epidemiologist B. Trollfors study of
pertussis vaccine efficacy and toxicity
around the world found that pertussis-
associated mortality is currently very
low in industrialised countries and no
difference can be discerned when coun-
tries with high, low, and zero immunisa-
tion rates were compared. He also
found that England, Wales, and West
Germany had more pertussis fatalities in
1970 when the immunization rate was
high than during the last half of 1980,
when rates had fallen.17
Vaccinations cost us more than
just the lives and health of our children.
The U.S. Federal Government's National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
(NVICP) has paid out over $1.2 billion
since 1988 to the families of children
injured and killed by vaccines,18 with
money that comes from a tax on vac-
cines that vaccine recipients pay. Mean-
while, pharmaceutical companies have a
captive market; vaccines are legally
mandated in all 50 U.S. states (though
legally avoidable in most; see Myth #9),
yet these same companies are immune
from accountability for the consequences
of their products. Furthermore, they have
been allowed to use gag orders as a
leverage tool in vaccine damage legal
settlements to prevent disclosure of in-
formation to the public about vaccina-
tion dangers. Such arrangements are
clearly unethical; they force an unin-
formed American public to pay for vac-
cine manufacturer's liabilities, while
4
ensuring that this same public will re-
main ignorant of the dangers of their
products. This arrangement also dimin-
ishes any incentive that manufacturers
might have to produce safer vaccines.
It is important to note that insur-
ance companies, who do the best liabil-
ity studies, refuse to cover vaccine
reactions. Each industrys respective
profit motives have generated these con-
tradictory positions.
VACCINATION TRUTH #1:
Vaccination causes significant death
and disability at an astounding personal
and financial cost to uninformed families
and society.
VACCINATION MYTH #2:
Vaccines are very effective...
...or are they?
The medical literature has a sur-
prising number of studies documenting
vaccine failure. Measles, mumps, small
pox, pertussis, polio and Hib outbreaks
have all occurred in vaccinated popula-
tions.19,20,21,22,23 In 1989 the CDC re-
ported: Among school-aged children,
[measles] outbreaks have occurred in
schools with vaccination levels of
greater than 98 percent.24 [They] have
occurred in all parts of the country, in-
cluding areas that had not reported mea-
sles for years.25 The CDC even reported
a measles outbreak in a documented
100% vaccinated population.26 A study
examining this phenomenon concluded,
The apparent paradox is that as measles
immunization rates rise to high levels in
a population, measles becomes a disease
of immunized persons.27 A more recent
study found that measles vaccination
produces immune suppression which
contributes to an increased susceptibility
to other infections.28 These studies sug-
gest that the goal of complete immuni-
zation may actually be counter-
productive, a notion underscored by in-
stances in which epidemics followed
complete immunization of entire coun-
tries. Japan experienced yearly increases
in small pox following the introduction
of compulsory vaccines in 1872. By
1892, there were 29,979 deaths, and all
had been vaccinated.29 In the early
1900s, the Philippines experienced their
worst smallpox epidemic ever after 8
million people received 24.5 million
vaccine doses (achieving a vaccination
rate of 95%); the death rate quadrupled
as a result.30 Before Englands first
compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the
largest two-year smallpox death rate was
about 2,000; in 1870-71, England and
Wales had over 23,000 smallpox
deaths.31 In 1989, the country of Oman
experienced a widespread polio outbreak
six months after achieving complete
vaccination.32 In the U.S. in 1986, 90%
of 1300 pertussis cases in Kansas were
adequately vaccinated.33 72% of per-
tussis cases in the 1993 Chicago out-
break were fully up to date with their
vaccinations.34
VACCINATION TRUTH #2:
Evidence suggests that vaccination is
an unreliable means of preventing dis-
ease.
VACCINATION MYTH #3:
Vaccines are the reason for low disease
rates in the U.S. today...
...or are they?
5
According to the British Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Science,
childhood diseases decreased 90% be-
tween 1850 and 1940, paralleling im-
proved sanitation and hygienic practices,
well before mandatory vaccination pro-
grams. The Medical Sentinel recently
reported, from 1911 to 1935, the four
leading causes of childhood deaths from
infectious diseases in the U.S. were
diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and
measles. However, by 1945 the com-
bined death rates from these causes had
declined by 95 percent, before the im-
plementation of mass immunization pro-
grams.35
Thus, at best, vaccinations can be
examined only for their relationship to
the small, remaining portion of disease
declines that occurred after their intro-
duction. Yet even this role is question-
able, as pre-vaccine rates of disease
mortality decline remained virtually the
same after vaccines were introduced.
Furthermore, European countries that
refused immunization for small pox and
polio saw the epidemics end along with
those countries that mandated it; vac-
cines were clearly not the sole determin-
ing factor. In fact, both small pox and
polio immunization campaigns were fol-
lowed by significant disease incidence
increases. After smallpox vaccination
was being mandated, smallpox remained
a prevalent disease with some substantial
increases, while other infectious diseases
simultaneously continued their declines
in the absence of vaccines. In England
and Wales, smallpox disease and vacci-
nation rates eventually declined simulta-
neously over a period of several decades
between the 1870s and the beginning of
World War II.36 It is thus impossible to
say whether or not vaccinations contrib-
uted to the continuing declines in disease
death rates, or if the declines continued
unabated simply due to the same forces
which likely brought about the initial
declinesimprovements in sanitation,
hygiene and diet; better housing, trans-
portation and infrastructure; better food
preservation techniques and technology;
and possibly natural disease cycles. Un-
derscoring this conclusion was a recent
World Health Organization report which
found that the disease and mortality rates
in third world countries have no direct
correlation with immunization proce-
dures or medical treatment, but are
closely related to the standard of hygiene
and diet.37 Credit given to vaccinations
for our current disease incidence has
simply been grossly exaggerated, if not
outright misplaced.
Vaccine advocates point to inci-
dence rather than mortality statistics as
evidence of vaccine effectiveness. How-
ever, statisticians tell us that mortality
statistics are a better measure of disease
than incidence figures, for the simple
reason that the quality of reporting and
record keeping is much higher on fatali-
ties.38 For instance, a survey in New
York City revealed that only 3.2% of
pediatricians were actually reporting
measles cases to the health department.
In 1974, the CDC determined that there
were 36 cases of measles in Georgia,
while the Georgia State Surveillance
System reported 660 cases.39 In 1982,
Maryland state health officials blamed a
pertussis epidemic on a television pro-
gram, D.P.T.Vaccine Roulette,
which warned of the dangers of DPT,
but when former top virologist for the
U.S. Division of Biological Standards,
Dr. J. Anthony Morris, analyzed the 41
cases, he confirmed only 5, and all had
been vaccinated.40 Such instances as
these demonstrate the fallacy of inci-
6
dence figures, yet vaccine advocates
tend to rely on them indiscriminately.
VACCINATION TRUTH #3
It is unclear what impact, if any, that
vaccines had on 19th and 20th century
infectious disease declines.
VACCINATION MYTH #4:
Vaccination is based on sound immuni-
zation theory and practice...
...or is it?
The clinical evidence for vac-
cines is their ability to stimulate anti-
body production in the recipient. What is
not clear, however, is whether or not an-
tibody production constitutes immunity.
For example, agamma globulin-anemic
children are incapable of producing anti-
bodies, yet they recover from infectious
diseases almost as quickly as other chil-
dren.41 Furthermore, a study published
by the British Medical Council in 1950
during a diphtheria epidemic concluded
that there was no relationship between
antibody count and disease incidence;
researchers found resistant people with
extremely low antibody counts and sick
people with high counts.42 Natural im-
munization is a complex interactive
process involving many bodily organs
and systems; it cannot be replicated
merely by the artificial stimulation of
antibodies.
Research also indicates that vac-
cination commits immune cells to the
specific antigens in a vaccine, rendering
them incapable of reacting to other in-
fections. Immunological reserves may
thus actually be reduced, causing a gen-
erally lowered resistance. 43
Another component of immuni-
zation theory is herd immunity, the
notion that when enough people in a
community are immunized, all are pro-
tected. As Myth #2 showed, there are
many documented instances showing
just the oppositefully vaccinated
populations have experienced epidemics.
With measles, this actually seems to be
the direct result of high vaccination
rates.44 In Minnesota, a state epidemi-
ologist concluded that the Hib vaccine
increases the risk of illness when a study
revealed that vaccinated children were
five times more likely to contract men-
ingitis than unvaccinated children.45
Surprisingly, vaccination has
never actually been clinically proven to
be effective in preventing disease, for
the simple reason that no researcher has
directly exposed test subjects to diseases
(nor may they ethically do so). The
medical communitys gold standard, the
double blind, placebo-controlled study,
has not been used to compare vaccinated
and unvaccinated people, and so the
practice remains scientifically unproven.
Furthermore, it is important to recognize
that not everyone exposed to a disease
develops symptoms (indeed, only a tiny
percentage of a population need develop
symptoms for an epidemic to be de-
clared). Thus, if a vaccinated individual
is exposed to a disease and doesnt get
sick, it is impossible to know whether
the vaccine worked, because there is no
way to know if that person would have
developed symptoms if he or she had not
been vaccinated. It is also worth noting
that outbreaks in recent years have re-
corded more disease cases in vaccinated
children than in unvaccinated children.
7
Yet another surprising aspect of
immunization practice is the one size
fits all aspect. An 8-pound 2-month-old
baby receives the same dosage as a 40
pound five year old. Infants with imma-
ture, undeveloped immune systems may
receive five or more times the dosage,
relative to body weight, as older chil-
dren. Furthermore, the number of units
within doses has been found in random
testing to range from to 3 times what
the label indicates; manufacturing qual-
ity controls appear to tolerate a rather
large margin of error. Hot Lots
vaccine lots associated with dispropor-
tionately high death and disability
rateshave been repeatedly identified
by the NVIC, but the FDA consistently
refuses to intervene to prevent further
unnecessary injury and deaths. In fact,
individual vaccine lots have never been
recalled due to their greater incidence of
adverse reactions. However, the rotavi-
rus vaccine was taken off the market a
few months after being introduced when
it caused bowel obstructions in many
recipients. Incredibly, the FDA and CDC
knew about this problem prior to licens-
ing the vaccine, but both organizations
still gave their unanimous approval.46
Finally, vaccines are adminis-
tered with the assumption that all recipi-
entsregardless of race, culture, diet,
genetic makeup, geographic location, or
any other characteristicwill respond
the same. This was perhaps never more
dramatically disproved than in Austra-
lia's Northern Territory a few years ago,
where stepped-up immunization cam-
paigns in native aborigines resulted in an
incredible 50% infant mortality rate.47
One must wonder about the lives of the
survivors, too; if half died, surely the
other half did not escape unaffected.
 Almost as troubling was a recent
study in the New England Journal of
Medicine reporting that a substantial
number of Romanian children were con-
tracting polio from the vaccine. Re-
searchers found a correlation with
injections of antibiotics. A single injec-
tion within one month of vaccination
raised the risk of polio eight times, two
to nine injections raised the risk 27-fold,
and 10 or more injections raised the risk
182 times.48
What other factors not accounted
for in vaccination theory will surface
unexpectedly to reveal unforeseen or
previously overlooked consequences?
We cannot begin to fully comprehend
the scope and degree of the danger until
public health officials begin looking and
reporting in earnest. In the meantime,
entire countries populations are unwit-
ting gamblers in a game that many might
very well choose not to play if they were
given all the rules in advance.
VACCINATION TRUTH #4:
Many of the assumptions upon which
immunization theory and practice are
unproven or have been proven false in
their application.
VACCINATION MYTH #5:
Childhood diseases are extremely dan-
gerous...
...or are they, really?
Most childhood infectious dis-
eases have few serious consequences in
today's modern world. Even conserva-
tive CDC statistics for pertussis during
1992-94 indicate a 99.8% recovery rate.
In fact, when hundreds of pertussis cases
8
occurred in Ohio and Chicago in the fall
1993 outbreak, an infectious disease ex-
pert from Cincinnati Children's Hospital
said, The disease was very mild, no one
died, and no one went to the intensive
care unit.
The vast majority of the time,
childhood infectious diseases are benign
and self-limiting. They usually impart
lifelong immunity, whereas vaccine-
induced immunity is only temporary. In
fact, the temporary nature of vaccine
immunity can create a more dangerous
situation in a childs future. For exam-
ple, the new chicken pox vaccine has an
effectiveness estimated at 6 - 10 years. If
effective, it will postpone the child's
vulnerability until adulthood, when
death from the disease, while still rare, is
20 times more likely than in childhood.
Measles parties used to be common in
Britain; if a child got measles, other par-
ents in the neighborhood would rush
their kids over to play with the infected
child, to deliberately contract the disease
and develop natural lifetime immunity.
This avoids the risk of infection in
adulthood that comes with artificial im-
munity, when the disease is more dan-
gerous, and provides the benefits of an
immune system strengthened by the
natural disease process.
About half of measles cases in
the late 1980's resurgence were in ado-
lescents and adults, most of whom were
vaccinated as children,49 and the recom-
mended booster shots may provide pro-
tection for less than six months.50 Some
healthcare professionals are concerned
that the virus from the chicken pox vac-
cine may reactivate later in life in the
form of herpes zoster (shingles) or other
immune system disorders.51 Dr. A.
Lavin of the Dept. of Pediatrics, St.
Luke's Medical Center in Cleveland,
Ohio, strongly opposed licensing the
new vaccine, until we actually
know...the risks involved in injecting
mutated DNA [the vaccine herpes virus]
into the host genome [children].52 The
truth is, no one knows, but the vaccine is
now licensed, recommended by health
authorities, and quickly becoming man-
dated throughout the country.
Not only are most infectious dis-
eases rarely dangerous, they can actually
play a vital role in the developing a
strong, healthy immune system. Persons
who have not had measles have a higher
incidence of certain skin diseases, de-
generative diseases of bone and carti-
lage, and certain tumors, while absence
of mumps has been linked to higher risks
of ovarian cancer. Anthroposophical
medical doctors recommend only the
tetanus and polio vaccines; they believe
contracting other childhood infectious
diseases is beneficial in that it matures
and strengthens the immune system.
VACCINATION TRUTH #5:
Dangers of childhood diseases are
greatly exaggerated in order to scare
parents into compliance with a question-
able but highly profitable procedure.
VACCINATION MYTH #6:
Polio was one of the clearly great vac-
cination success stories...
...or was it?
Six New England states reported
increases in polio one year after the Salk
vaccine was introduced, ranging from
more than doubling in Vermont to Mas-
9
sachusetts astounding increase of 642%;
other states reported increases as well.
The incidence in Wisconsin increased by
a factor of five. Idaho and Utah actually
halted vaccination due to the increased
incidence and death rate. In 1959, 77.5%
of Massachusetts paralytic cases had
received 3 doses of IPV (injected polio
vaccine). During 1962 U.S. Congres-
sional hearings, Dr. Bernard Greenberg,
head of the Dept. of Biostatistics for the
University of North Carolina School of
Public Health, testified that not only did
the cases of polio increase substantially
after mandatory vaccinationsa 50%
increase from 1957 to 1958, and an 80%
increase from 1958 to 1959but that the
statistics were deliberately manipulated
by the Public Health Service to give the
opposite impression.53 It is important to
understand that the polio vaccine was
not universally accepted, at least ini-
tially. Despite this, polio declined both
in European countries that refused mass
vaccination as well as in those that em-
ployed it.
According to Australian re-
searcher-author Dr. Viera Scheibner,
90% of polio cases were eliminated from
statistics by health authorities redefini-
tion of the disease when the vaccine was
introduced, while in reality the Salk vac-
cine was continuing to cause paralytic
polio in several countries amidst an ab-
sence of epidemics caused by the wild
virus. For example, cases of viral and
aseptic meningitis, which have symp-
toms similar to polio, were routinely di-
agnosed and recorded as polio before the
vaccine, but were distinguished and re-
moved from polio statistics after the
vaccine. Also, the number of cases
needed to declare an epidemic was
raised from 20 to 35, and the require-
ment for inclusion in paralysis statistics
was changed from symptoms that lasted
for 24 hours to symptoms lasting 60
days (many polio victims paralyses
were temporary). It is no wonder that
polio decreased radically after vac-
cinesat least on paper. In 1985, the
CDC reported that 87% of the cases of
polio in the U.S. between 1973 and 1983
were caused by the vaccine, and later
declared that all but a few imported
cases since were caused by the vac-
cineand most of the imported cases
occurred in fully vaccinated individuals.
Jonas Salk, inventor of the IPV,
testified before a Senate subcommittee
that nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961
were caused by the oral polio vaccine.
At a workshop on polio vaccines spon-
sored by the Institute of Medicine and
the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, Dr. Samuel Katz of Duke Uni-
versity cited the estimated 8-10 annual
U.S. cases of vaccine-associated para-
lytic polio (VAPP) in people who have
taken the oral polio vaccine, and the
[then four year] absence of wild polio
from the western hemisphere. Jessica
Scheer of the National Rehabilitation
Hospital Research Center in Washing-
ton, D.C., pointed out that most parents
are unaware that polio vaccination in this
country entails a small number of hu-
man sacrifices each year. Compounding
this contradiction are low adverse event
reporting and the NVICs experiences
with confirming and correcting misdiag-
noses of vaccine reactions, which sug-
gest that the actual number of VAPP
sacrifices may be 10 to 100 times
higher than that cited by the CDC. Nota-
bly, the live poliovirus is no longer in
widespread use.
To be sure, polio as it was known
in the first half of the 20th century does
10
not exist today. However, declines fol-
lowing polio peaks in the late 1940s and
early 1950s had been underway for a
period of years by the time the vaccine
was introduced.
VACCINATION TRUTH #6:
The polio vaccine temporarily reversed
disease declines that were underway be-
fore the vaccine was introduced; this fact
was deliberately covered up by health
authorities. In Europe, polio declined in
countries that both embraced and re-
jected the vaccine.
VACCINATION MYTH #7:
My child had no reaction to the vac-
cines, so there is nothing to worry
about...
...or is there?
The documented long term ad-
verse effects of vaccines include chronic
immunological and neurological disor-
ders such as autism, hyperactivity, atten-
tion deficit disorders, dyslexia, allergies,
cancer, and other conditions, many of
which barely existed before mass vacci-
nation programs. Vaccine ingredients
include known toxicants and carcinogens
such as thimersol (a mercury derivative),
aluminum phosphate, formaldehyde (for
which the Poisons Information Centre in
Australia claims there is no acceptable
safe amount that can be injected into a
living human body), and phenoxyethanol
(commonly known as antifreeze). Some
of these ingredients are gastrointestinal
toxicants, liver toxicants, respiratory
toxicants, neurotoxicants, cardiovascular
and blood toxicants, reproductive toxi-
cants, and developmental toxicants, to
name a few of the known dangers.
Chemical ranking systems rate many
vaccine ingredients among the most haz-
ardous substances, and they are heavily
regulated. Even microscopic doses of
some of these ingredients are known to
be able to cause serious injury. In addi-
tion, some vaccine mediums used in the
production of vaccines contain human
diploid cells originating from human
aborted fetal tissue, a fact that might af-
fect many peoples vaccination
choicesif they only knew this was the
case.
Medical historian, researcher and
author Harris Coulter, Ph.D. explained
that his extensive research revealed
childhood immunization to be causing a
low-grade encephalitis in infants on a
much wider scale than public health au-
thorities were willing to admit, about 15-
20% of all children. He points out that
the sequelae [conditions known to result
from a disease] of encephalitis [inflam-
mation of the brain, a documented ad-
verse effect of vaccination]: autism,
learning disabilities, minimal and not-so-
minimal brain damage, seizures, epi-
lepsy, sleeping and eating disorders,
sexual disorders, asthma, crib death, dia-
betes, obesity, and impulsive violence
are precisely the disorders which afflict
contemporary society. Many of these
conditions were formerly relatively rare,
but they have become more common as
childhood vaccination programs have
expanded. Coulter also points out that
pertussis toxoid is used to induce en-
cephalitis in lab animals. The pertussis
vaccines ability to cause brain damage
is thus not only known, but relied upon
by clinical researchers studying brain
disorders.
11
A German study found correla-
tions between vaccinations and 22 neu-
rological conditions including attention
deficit and epilepsy. Another dilemma is
that viral elements in vaccines may per-
sist and mutate in the human body for
years, with unknown consequences. Mil-
lions of children are partaking in an
enormous, crude experiment, and no sin-
cere, organized effort is being made to
track the negative side effects or to de-
termine the long-term consequences.
Since long-term studies on the adverse
effects of vaccines are virtually non-
existent, their widespread use in the ab-
sence of informed consent and adequate
safety testing constitutes medical ex-
perimentation. As the American Asso-
ciation of Physicians and Surgeons and
the National Vaccine Information Center
have pointed out, this is a violation of
the first principle of the Nuremberg
Code, the centerpiece of modern bio-
ethics.54,55
Bart Classen, MD, PhD, founder
of Classen Immunotherapies and devel-
oper of vaccine technologies, conducted
epidemiological studies around the
world and found vaccines to be the cause
of 79% of insulin type I diabetes in chil-
dren under 10. The increase risk ranged
from 9% with the diphtheria vaccine to
50% with the Hepatitis B vaccine. Ac-
cording to Classen, CDC data confirms
his findings. However, the implications
of Classens findings go well beyond
diabetes, as his comment in a 1999 issue
of the British Medical Journal points out:
The incidence of many other chronic
immunological diseases, including
asthma, allergies, and immune mediated
cancers, has risen rapidly and may also
be linked to immunisation.56 The diabe-
tes findings may be only the tip of the
iceberg.
 Recent studies in the U.S. and
England suggest that vaccines cause au-
tism.57,58,59 Mercury poisoning and au-
tism have nearly identical symptoms,60
and a single days vaccination regimen
may inject 41 times the level of mercury
known to cause harm.61 Californias au-
tism rate has mushroomed 1000% over
the past 20 years, with dramatic in-
creases following the introduction of the
MMR vaccine in the early 1980s. Eng-
land had dramatic autism increases be-
ginning in the 1990s, following the
introduction of the MMR vaccine there.
Some infants receive 100 times the
EPAs maximum allowable amount of
mercury through vaccines. In January,
2000, the Journal of Adverse Drug Reac-
tions reported that the MMR vaccine
was not adequately tested and should not
have been licensed. Further reinforcing
the suspected vaccine-autism connection
is the fact that many physicians using a
systematic mercury-detoxification regi-
men with autistic patients have seen
dramatic improvements in the health and
behavior of their patients.62 Today, one
out of every 150 children are affected by
autism, according to the National Vac-
cine Information Center. In the early
1940s, prior to the introduction of most
vaccines in current use, it was consid-
ered a rare condition that few doctors
would ever encounter in their practice.
VACCINATION TRUTH #7:
The long term adverse effects of vacci-
nations have been ignored in spite of
compelling correlations with many seri-
ous chronic conditions. Doctors cant
otherwise explain the dramatic rise in
many of these diseases.
VACCINATION MYTH #8:
12
Vaccines are the only disease preven-
tion option available...
...or are they?
Most parents feel compelled to
take some disease-preventing action for
their children. While there is no 100%
guarantee anywhere, there are viable al-
ternatives. Historically, homeopathy has
proven many times to be more effective
than allopathic medicine in the treatment
and prevention of disease. In a U.S.
cholera outbreak in 1849, allopathic
medicine saw a 48-60% death rate, while
homeopathic hospitals had a documented
death rate of only 3%.63 Roughly similar
statistics still hold true for cholera to-
day.64 Recent epidemiological studies
show homeopathic remedies as equaling
or surpassing standard vaccinations in
preventing disease. There are reports in
which populations that were treated
homeopathically after exposure had a
100% success ratenone of the treated
caught the disease.65
There are homeopathic kits
available for disease prevention.66 Ho-
meopathic remedies can also be taken
only during times of increased risk (out-
breaks, traveling, etc.), and have proven
highly effective in such instances. And
since these remedies have no toxic com-
ponents, they have virtually no side ef-
fects. In addition, homeopathy has been
effective in reversing some of the dis-
ability caused by vaccine reactions, not
to mention many other chronic condi-
tions with which allopathic medicine has
had little success.
VACCINATION TRUTH #8:
Documented safe and effective alterna-
tives to vaccination have been available
for decades. However, they have been
systematically attacked and suppressed
by the medical establishment.
VACCINATION MYTH #9:
Vaccinations are legally mandated and
unavoidable...
...or are they?
In the U.S., vaccine laws vary
from state to state. While every state le-
gally requires vaccines, every state also
has one or more legal exemptions from
vaccines. School and health officials will
seldom volunteer exemption informa-
tion, and are sometimes misinformed
about legal exemptions, so it is impor-
tant to check the laws in your state to
find out exactly what the requirements
are. Each state offers one or more of the
following three kinds of exemptions:
1) Medical Exemption: All 50 states in
the U.S. allow for a medical exemption.
However, few pediatricians check for
indications of increased risk before ad-
ministering vaccines, so it is advisable
for parents to research this matter for
themselves if they have reason to believe
that their child may be predisposed to
vaccine reactions. Epilepsy, severe aller-
gies, and a previous adverse reaction in a
child or sibling are but a few of the
many conditions in child or family his-
tory which may increase the chances of
an adverse reaction, and thus may qual-
ify for a medical exemption from one or
more required vaccines. In general,
though, medical exemptions are difficult
to get, may be available only to those
who have already had a serious vaccine
reaction or who have a family history of
serious vaccine reactions, may be
granted only for the specific vaccine be-
13
lieved to have caused a previous reac-
tion, and may be valid only as long as
the condition giving rise to the exemp-
tion persists (i.e., may be temporary).
2) Religious Exemption: 48 states allow
for a religious exemption (all but MS
and WV). A states laws may state that
membership in an established religious
organization is required. However, this
requirement has been held unconstitu-
tional in New York federal courts and
some state courts. According to federal
precedent, personal religious beliefs may
be sufficient for a religious exemption
regardless of which religious organiza-
tion you belong to, or whether or not you
belong to an organized religion at
all.67,68,69,70 In one case, the plaintiffs
were awarded money damages when the
court found that the state had violated
their civil rights by denying them a reli-
gious exemption.
3) Philosophical or Personal Exemption:
Approximately 17 states allow parents to
refuse vaccination for personal or phi-
losophical reasons.
It is worth noting that exempted
children may be banned from attending
schools during local outbreaks. But all
schools, public or private, must comply
with state vaccination laws and honor
legal exemptions.
The best source for a copy of
your state's vaccination laws is state
health officials. A phone call to the state
Department of Epidemiology or Immu-
nization (the specific name varies from
state to state) may be all that it takes to
get a copy mailed to you. Or, for a small
fee, some organizations will sell you a
copy of your states exemption laws
(see, for example, www.nvic.org,
www.thinktwice.com). Statutes in some
states can be researched on the internet
(see www.findlaw.com), but these
sources may not be fully up to date
unless with a paid subscription service.
Of course, law libraries and lawyers are,
a good source as well.
Since people who may qualify
for an exemption sometimes are denied
an exemption due to their lack of under-
standing of their legal rights and how to
effectively assert them, a consultation
with a knowledgeable attorney is highly
recommended, especially with religious
exemptions. It is worth noting that the
Supreme Court has defined religion for
legal purposes broadlymany people
may qualify for a vaccine religious ex-
emption who at first think they do not.
VACCINATION TRUTH #9:
Vaccines are truly mandated, but legal
exemptions are available for many, if not
all, U.S. citizens.
VACCINATION MYTH #10:
Public health officials always place the
publics health above all other con-
cerns...
...or do they?
Vaccination history is riddled
with documented instances of deceit por-
traying vaccines as mighty disease con-
querors, when in fact vaccines have had
little or no discernable impact onor
have even delayed or reversedpre-
existing disease declines. The United
Kingdom's Department of Health admit-
ted that vaccination status determined
the diagnosis of subsequent diseases:
14
Those found in vaccinated patients re-
ceived alternate diagnoses; hospital re-
cords and death certificates were
falsified. Today, many doctors still re-
fuse to diagnose diseases in vaccinated
children, and so the Myth about vac-
cine success persists.
Conflicts of interest are the norm
in the vaccine industry. Members and
Chairs of the FDA and CDC vaccine ad-
visory committees own stock in drug
companies that make vaccines; individu-
als on both advisory committees own
patents for vaccines under consideration
or affected by the decisions these com-
mittees make. The CDC grants conflict-
of-interest waivers to every member of
their advisory committee a year at a
time, allowing full participation in the
discussions leading up to a vote by every
member whether or not they have a fi-
nancial stake in the decision.71
Concerns over vaccine adverse
effects and conflicts of interest led the
American Society of Physicians and
Surgeons to issue a Resolution to Con-
gress calling for a moratorium on vac-
cine mandates and for physicians to
insist upon truly informed consent for
the use of vaccines. Approved by
unanimous vote at the AAPS October
2000 annual meeting, the resolution
made references to the increasing num-
bers of mandatory childhood vaccines, to
which children aresubjected without
information about potential adverse
side effects; the fact that safety testing
of many vaccines is limited and the data
are unavailable for independent scrutiny,
so that mass vaccination is equivalent to
human experimentation and subject to
the Nuremberg Code, which requires
voluntary informed consent; and the
fact that the process of approving and
recommending vaccines is tainted with
conflicts of interest.72
In an October 1999 statement to
Congress, Bart Classen, M.D., M.B.A.,
founder and CEO of Classen Immuno-
therapies and developer of vaccine tech-
nologies, stated, It is clearthat the
government's immunization policies
are driven by politics and not by science.
I can give numerous examples where
employees of the US Public Health Ser-
viceappear to be furthering their ca-
reers by acting as propaganda officers to
support political agendas. In one
caseemployees of a foreign govern-
ment, who were funded and working
closely with the US Public Health Ser-
vice, submitted false data to a major
medical journal. The true data indicated
the vaccine was dangerous however the
false data that was submitted indicated
there was no risk. An employee of the
NIH who manages large vaccine grants
jointly published a misleading letter
about the subject with one of these for-
eign civil servants. As you are aware it is
illegal to falsify data from research
funded by the US government. Dr.
Classen recommended that Congress
hire a special prosecutor to determine if
public health officials are following the
laws enacted to ensure vaccines are safe
and to determine if public health offi-
cials along with manufacturers are mis-
leading the public about the safety of
these products.73
In France, 15,000 French citizens
have sued their government over adverse
Hepatitis B vaccine reactions.74 Former
public health officials there are serving
prison sentences following findings that
they did not follow the law to ensure the
safety of the vaccine, and school-age
Hep B vaccination has been discontin-
15
ued. U.S. military personnel may be
even worse off: four letters from the
FDA/Public Health Serviceclearly re-
veal that the anthrax vaccine was ap-
proved for marketing without the
manufacturer performing a single con-
trolled clinical trial.75 Clinical trials are,
of course, absolutely critical to determin-
ing the safety and effectiveness of any
pharmaceutical product. Military per-
sonnel have been, and continue to be,
unwitting subjects in unethical experi-
ments.
VACCINATION TRUTH #10:
Many of the public health officials who
determine vaccine policy profit substan-
tially from their policy decisions.
SOME CLOSING REMARKS
In the December 1994 Medical
Post, Canadian author of the best-seller
Medical Mafia, Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.,
stated, The medical authorities keep
lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on
the immune system. It actually causes a
lot of illnesses. We are actually changing
our genetic code through vaccina-
tion...100 years from now we will know
that the biggest crime against humanity
was vaccines. After critically analyzing
literally tens of thousands of pages of
the vaccine medical literature, Dr. Viera
Scheibner concluded that there is no
evidence whatsoever of the ability of
vaccines to prevent any diseases. To the
contrary, there is a great wealth of evi-
dence that they cause serious side ef-
fects.76 Dr. Classen has stated, My
data proves that the studies used to sup-
port immunization are so flawed that it is
impossible to say if immunization pro-
vides a net benefit to anyone or to soci-
ety in general. This question can only be
determined by proper studies that have
never been performed. The flaw of pre-
vious studies is that there was no long-
term follow up and chronic toxicity was
not looked at. The American Society of
Microbiology has promoted my re-
search...and thus acknowledges the need
for proper studies.77 These may be radi-
cal positions, but they are not un-
founded. The continued denial and
suppression of the evidence against vac-
cines only perpetuates the Myths of
their success and, more importantly,
their negative consequences on our chil-
dren and society. Aggressive and com-
prehensive scientific investigation into
adverse vaccine events is clearly war-
ranted, yet immunization programs con-
tinue to expand in the absence of such
research. Manufacturer profits are enor-
mous, while accountability for the nega-
tive effects is conspicuously absent. This
is especially sad given the readily avail-
able safe and effective alternatives.
are already in clinical trials. Researchers
are working on vaccine delivery through
nasal sprays, mosquitoes (yes, mosqui-
toes), and the fruits of transgenic
plants in which vaccine viruses are
grown. With every adult and child on the
planet a potential recipient of vaccines
administered periodically throughout
their lives, and every healthcare system
and government a potential buyer, it is
little wonder that countless millions of
dollars are spent nurturing the growing
multi-billion dollar vaccine industry.
Without public outcry, we will see more
and more new vaccines required of us
all. And while profits are readily calcu-
lable, the real human costs are ignored or
suppressed.
COMING SOON

The positions asserted above are

not coming from a handful of fringe lu-
natics; entire professional organizations
are speaking out. Criticisms of vaccines
are being sounded by an increasing
number of credible and reputable scien-
tists, researchers, investigators, and self-
educated parents from around the world.
Instead, it is public health officials and
die-hard vaccine advocates (many of
