Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
~~~Introduction~~~
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political
bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them
to the separation. Thomas Jefferson, author, U.S. Declaration of Independence
Our founding documents declare unalienable “Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness” as well as a right of private property. Nothing is more basic to liberty and
private property than one’s own body. If we do not even possess the property of our own
body, then where is our liberty and how are we free?
We have documented in this monograph the cause to which the Laws of Nature and
Nature’s God is not exempt under the Declaration of Independence. That cause is the
mandated injection of toxic and poisonous chemicals, adjuvants, excipients, growth
media, and neurotoxins in vaccines into infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior
citizens under the guise of vaccine science.
This is the manipulated story of toxic vaccines from peer-reviewed journals, the
mainstream press and media, which begs a special investigation by Congress of vaccines
per se.
We have learned about the falsity within, errors, greed, and resultant dangers posed by
those corporations producing vaccines and medications from professionals in the know,
including Marcia Angell, MD, and professor Donald W. Light, PhD. During two decades
as editor of the prestigious The New England Journal of Medicine, Doctor Angell
experienced ‘up-close and personal’ such appalling behavior on the part of the
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 2
pharmaceutical industry that she authored a virtual exposé titled, The Truth About the
Drug Companies—How They Deceive Us, and What to Do About It. More recently,
Professor Light, who edited the book The Risks of Prescription Drugs, takes us to a new
level of understanding of how our health and safety are being compromised by falsified
science, agencies run amok, and clever industry marketing.
In two other well argued, erudite books, Global Censorship of Health Information and
The Rise of Tyranny—How Federal Agencies Abuse Power and Pose Risks to Your Life
and Liberty, authored by a brilliant constitutional attorney, Jonathan Emord shows how
frighteningly lawless some of our regulatory agencies have become. Emord tells us, “…
FDA refuses to honor five decisions holding its censorship unconstitutional.” 1
An attorney in the FDA Chief Counsel’s office regarding a court order to FDA made this
really shocking statement, “Jonathan, the FDA will never abide by the Pearson
decision.” 2 Despite Jonathan’s noting it was a final and binding decision—an order of
the court—the FDA attorney said, “That may be so, but I am telling you the FDA will
never abide by that court decision, never, ever.” 3 Emord tells us, “His words pierced to
the very core of my being. Here was an agency’s legal officer telling me that the agency
was, intentionally, lawless.” 4
The ever-expanding vaccine program, considered by many as being implicated in the
rapid rise in rates of autism and other chronic diseases, especially in children, is now
heavily funded and promoted by governments around the world. Vaccines have rapidly
become both a health and a liberty issue as mandates attempt to make vaccines a
condition of employment and school attendance. Even more alarming is the legal use of
‘failure to vaccinate’ as the basis for parental abuse cases resulting in state removal of
children from parents’ custody.
The American public is frightened for their children and our country’s future health and
financial burdens that may be contributed to, or caused by toxic adjuvants, excipients,
and growth media in vaccines.
The purpose of this monograph is to acquaint members of Congress and the public with
the toxic ingredients in vaccines; call for a congressional investigation of vaccines per se;
to serve as evidence of toxic chemicals and neurotoxins in vaccines, and finally, to elicit
change in the production of vaccines.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 3
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services HRSA division (Health Resources
and Services Administration) held a public meeting of the FDA’s Advisory Committee
on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) in Rockville, Maryland, September 2-3, 2010, at which
several charts were distributed. The chart below “NVICP Statistics Report as of
Thursday, September 02, 2010” indicates just how pervasive and costly vaccine damage
actually IS in dollars and cents.
Petitioners’ Award Amounts for fiscal years 1989 thru 2010 totaled almost Two
Billion Dollars ($1,938,523,762.48) representing 2,503 awards.
In excess of an additional Forty-six Million Dollars ($46,424,411.60) was paid out for
Attorneys’ Fees/Costs Payments, which probably represented an additional 2,293
claims that were dismissed.
These awards validate that vaccine damage does happen—and continues to happen—and
much more than Big Pharma acknowledges or the media reports, sadly.
These figures represent only a FRACTION of damages that rightfully should be paid to
families that suffered vaccine-induced damages. Thousands, maybe a million or more
families, are left with life-long-damaged children and medical bills that will be
overwhelmingly expensive and probably not compensated for.
Just imagine if there were over two thousand product injuries from automobiles,
baby cribs, or food salmonella poisonings! What would congress do about them?
Vaccine damage is no different. Vaccines and their health-damaging toxins need to
be investigated.
This is another valid reason for congress to investigate vaccines per se.

2. Generally, petitions/claims are not adjudicated in the same fiscal year as filed. On average, it takes 2-
3 years to adjudicate a petition/claim after it is filed.
3. "Compensated" are claims that have been paid as a result of a settlement between parties or a
decision made by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Court). The # of awards is the number of
petitioner awards paid, including the attorneys' fees/costs payments, if made during a fiscal year.
However, petitioners' awards and attorneys' fees/costs are not necessarily paid in the same fiscal
year as when the petitions/claims are determined compensable. "Dismissed" includes the # of
payments to attorneys and the total amount of payments for attorneys' fees/costs per fiscal year. The
VICP will pay attorneys' fees/costs related to the claim, whether or not the petition/claim is awarded
compensation by the Court, if certain minimal requirements are met. "Total Outlays" are the total
amount of funds expended for compensation and attorneys' fees/costs from the Vaccine Injury

In 2002, Eckard was assigned to help lead a quality assurance team to evaluate one of
Glaxo’s most important plants, in Cidra, Puerto Rico. Nine hundred people worked there,
making 20 drugs for patients in the U.S. But Eckard says that when she saw what was
happening to some of the company's most popular drugs, she couldn't believe it.
"All the systems were broken, the facility was broken, the equipment was broken, and the
processes were broken. It was the worst thing I had run across in my career," she told
"60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pulley.
Eckard says she discovered…that powerful medications were getting mixed up. "Are you
saying that different kinds of drugs were packed into the same bottle?" Pulley asked.
"Yes. And that's shocking," she replied.
Eckard says a chart that she produced for company executives shows the kinds of mix-ups
that were happening at Cidra. She identified nine, including Avanti diabetes pills mixed
in packages with over-the-counter Tag met antacids and Paxil antidepressants, and
mixed with the Avanti diabetes drug." “I contacted the vice president of quality for North
America and I told him that he needed to shut down the factory and call the FDA," "I
urged him to stop the trucks that were leaving the dock that day." "I went back to work
and waited for the news that they had called the FDA or that they had stopped shipments,
and it didn't happen."
Eckard says as the mix-ups continued, a pharmacist called the company with a story
about a mix-up involving the powerful antidepressant Paxil in its ten milligram dose. The
patient was an eight-year-old boy.
"A grandmother came in to pick up this little boy's prescription. And in front of the
pharmacist, she opened up the bottle. She tore off the induction seal. And she looked at it.
And she became upset. And she said, 'I knew it. His medicine has always been yellow. But
last month, it was pink. And he's been so sick,'" Eckard said…"Paxil ten milligram is
yellow. It's not pink," Eckard explained.
Glaxo pleaded guilty to a felony. It admitted it distributed "adulterated drugs Paxil CR,
Avandamet (a diabetes drug), Kytril (a drug given to cancer patients), and Bactroban."
All together, the company paid $750 million to settle the criminal conviction and
Eckard's suit.” “The plant at Cidra is closed.” Glaxo Whistle-Blower Lawsuit: Bad

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 5
When Dr. Leo Kanner, who first identified autism in 1938, wrote a book about his work
he did not mention autism per se because it apparently was so rare. For a long time
autism was thought to be a genetic disorder. Currently scientific studies attribute autism
to environmental causes and/or toxins, specifically neurotoxins.
Before 1980 only one in 10,000 children was diagnosed with autism. Rett syndrome, a
rare form of the autism spectrum, affects little girls between 6 and 18 months, whereas
little boys are four times more likely to contract some aspect of the autism syndrome.
In 1985, infants received four vaccinations that contained thimerosal. In 1991, when the
rate of autism began to increase, infants were receiving eleven vaccinations containing
thimerosal. http://www.googobits.com/articles/p2-923-the-links-between-autism-and-vaccinations.html
FDA concern
A new scientific study emerged in early 1990 that confirmed a link between thimerosal, a
mercury compound used in childhood vaccines, and neurological damage. The CDC’s
epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten said, “We have found statistically significant
relationships between exposure [to mercury in vaccines] and outcomes. At two months
of age, developmental delay; exposure at three months, tics; at six months, attention
deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six months, language and speech delays—
the entire category of neurodevelopmental delays.” Verstraeten also discussed previous
studies showing a link between mercury and neurodevelopmental disorders. [Emphasis added]
The upshot of what is known as the Simpsonwood Meeting was that 52 vaccine
proponents spent two days calculating how to cover up the fact that there was a
link/connection between thimerosal/mercury and autism spectrum disorder. The official
CDC title for that meeting is Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information.
For full documentation of the Simpsonwood Meeting in this monograph, please read the
section titled The Simpsonwood Meeting Report at page 9.
What is Thimerosal?
Thimerosal is a preservative that has been used in some vaccines since the 1930's, when
it was first introduced by Eli Lilly Company. It is 49.6% mercury by weight and is
metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. …. Mercury [Hg] is a
neurotoxin per CDC and EPA. It is a HazMat: hazardous waste.
….Some vaccines such as Td [tetanus and diphtheria],which is indicated for older children (! 7
years of age) and adults, are also now available in formulations that are free of thimerosal or
contain only trace amounts. Vaccines with trace amounts of thimerosal contain 1 microgram or
less of mercury per dose. http://www.immunize.org/thimerosal/ Routinely, almost every vaccine has
some trace amount of thimerosal.
On a parallel track, the World Health Organization is expected to soon final [sic] its
meeting report on "Future Use of Materials for Dental Restorations"(iii) in preparation
for the upcoming Intergovernmental Negotiations Committee deliberations that are
expected to lead to the adoption of a legally binding instrument on mercury by 2013.
Note the vaccination schedule for infants per CDC to understand why parents observe problems before
the child’s first birthday:
Aluminum
Increasingly, more and more aluminum is being added to vaccines as an‘effective’
adjuvant to activate an immune response. Aluminum is a neurotoxin, is toxic to the
brain, which has been known to science since 1911. Aluminum triggers brain
inflammation and excitotoxicity, which may be the cause of many cases of what’s
referred to as Shaken Baby Syndrome: Parents legally are charged with child abuse
whereas the real culprit is a brain adverse reaction and/or hemorrhage and swelling from
the excitotoxicity of aluminum and/or a combination mixture of toxic adjuvants.
Furthermore, aluminum can combine in the brain with glutamate [naturally occurring or
ingested] to cause an adverse reaction that impedes brain functions or causes brain
swelling.
Aluminum load in vaccines
Here are the aluminum loads in some vaccines:
DtaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) [each 0.5 mL dose] 625 mcg
Hepatitis B [each 0.5 mL dose] 375 mcg
Hepatitis A [each 0.5 mL dose] 250 mcg
Hib (haemophilus influenza type B) [each 0.5 mL dose] 225 mcg
HPV (human papillomarirus) [each 0.5 mL dose] 225 mcg
PVC (pneumococcal [pneumonia] conjugate vaccine) [each 0.5 mL dose] 125 mcg
"Another important factor with regard to mercury on the mind, which officials at the
CDC, FDA and the professors in the IOM [Institute of Medicine] do not consider, is
synergistic toxicity (refer to: http://www.talkinternational.com/health/report_on_mercury_toxicity_bh_050803.htm)
– mercury’s enhanced effect when other poisons are present. A small dose of
mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats,
when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1
percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there.
Vaccines contain aluminum.” [Emphasis added] Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD. Mercury on
the Mind. http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller14.html

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
In June 2000, a top-secret meeting of health officials and government scientists occurred
at the secluded Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. Although the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened the meeting, no public
announcement was made of the gathering. Just 52 private invitations were issued.
Participants included high-level officials from the CDC, FDA, top vaccine specialists
from the World Health Organization, and representatives from every major vaccine
manufacturer, including Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of
the participants were repeatedly warned that the scientific data under discussion was
“embargoed.” Note-taking and photocopies of documents were strictly prohibited. No
papers could leave the room.
The federal health officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss an
alarming new study that confirmed a link between thimerosal (mercury) in childhood
vaccines and neurological damage, including recent dramatic increases in autistic
spectrum disorders. Tom Verstraeten, a CDC epidemiologist, had analyzed the agency’s
massive Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) database (distinct from VAERS) containing
thousands of medical records of vaccinated children and was “stunned” by what he saw:
“We have found statistically significant relationships between exposure [to mercury in
vaccines] and outcomes. At two months of age, developmental delay; exposure at three
months, tics; at six months, attention deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six
months, language and speech delays—the entire category of neurodevelopmental
delays.” Verstraeten also discussed previous studies showing a link between mercury and
neurodevelopmental disorders. Since 1991, when the CDC and FDA started requiring
newborn infants to receive multiple doses of thimerosal-laced hepatitis B vaccines,
thimerosal-laced haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccines, and the already
mandated thimerosal-laced diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shots (via DPT and DTaP),
cases of autism skyrocketed.
Dr. Bill Weil, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), told the group, “You can
play with this all you want,” but the results “are statistically significant.” Dr. Richard
Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician, exclaimed, “I do not want my grandson to
get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on.” Yet, instead
of taking quick action to warn parents and recall the unsafe shots, this shameless group
of 52 vaccine proponents spent the next two days calculating how to cover up the truth.
“We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits,” said Dr.
Robert Brent, a pediatrician. However, Dr. Robert Chen, head of vaccine safety for the
CDC, congratulated his group for their apparent success thus far at concealing the
facts, and expressed relief that “given the sensitivity of the information, we have been
able to keep it out of the hands of, let’s say, less responsible hands.” Dr. John Clements,
WHO vaccine advisor, was more blunt, declaring that perhaps the CDC study “should
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
not have been done at all because the outcome could have, to some extent, been
predicted.” He stated that “the research results have to be handled,” and warned that
the study “will be taken by others and used in ways beyond the control of this group.”
After the Simpsonwood gathering, the CDC also instructed the Institute of Medicine
(IOM), i.e., the National Academy of Sciences, to produce a new study with contrived
results: no correlation between thimerosal and brain disorders. According to Dr. Marie
McCormick, who chaired the IOM’s Immunization Safety Review Committee in
January 2001, the CDC “wants us to declare, well, that these things are pretty safe.” In
fact, “we are not ever going to come down that [autism] is a true side effect” of
thimerosal. In transcripts of the meeting, the committee’s chief staffer, Kathleen Stratton,
predicted that the IOM would conclude that the evidence was “inadequate to accept or
reject a causal relation” between thimerosal and autism. Apparently, that was what
“Walt wants”—a reference to Dr. Walter Orenstein, director of the CDC’s National
Immunization Program.
To complete the deception, the CDC would need additional “proof” that thimerosal-
laced vaccines are safe. They never intended to conduct honest science; rather, their goal
was to establish a plausible defense, insulate manufacturers against liability, while
producing justification for continuing mandatory vaccine campaigns. For example, in
May 2001, Dr. Gordon Douglas, then-director of strategic planning for vaccine research
at the National Institutes of Health, assured a Princeton University gathering that “four
current studies are taking place to rule out the proposed link between autism and
thimerosal.” Furthermore, “in order to undo the harmful effects of research claiming to
link the [measles] vaccine to an elevated risk of autism, we need to conduct and publicize
additional studies to assure parents of safety.” Douglas formerly served as president of
vaccinations for Merck.
society. Who is looking after our children—the brain-trust of our future—if policy trumps
science, and profits trump safety? “The CDC is guilty of incompetence and gross
negligence” says Mark Blaxill, vice president of Safe Minds, a nonprofit organization
concerned about mercury in medicines. “The damage caused by vaccine exposure is
massive. It’s bigger than asbestos, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything you’ve
ever seen.” [Emphasis added]

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
To put the issue into proper perspective, we need to examine some previously accepted
scientific and medical data that now are nothing more than laughable fallacies or
treacherous human rights violations because of either more scientific understanding
and/or research, and how that type of thinking relates to vaccines that are being forced on
health care consumers under the guise of peer-reviewed science.
*A 2002 survey of US adults 18 years and older conducted by the National Center
for Health Statistics (CDC) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative
Medicine indicated: 74.6% had used some form of complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) ….62.1% had done so within the preceding twelve months.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
Repeatedly, FDA officials state that thimerosal, which contains mercury, is not
implicated in vaccine damage. How unscientific is that when one vaccination can place
thirty (30) times the ‘safe’ amount of mercury for an adult into the body of an infant or
toddler?
This warning from the drugs.com website about one of the common vaccine
ingredients tells us: Clinical studies have shown Darbepoetin Alfa (Polysorbate 80) to
increase the risk of serious side effects (eg, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, heart failure)
and death in some cases. It has also been shown to shorten overall survival and/or
increase the risk of tumor growth or recurrence in patients with certain types of cancer.
Many believe the injection of so many disease antigens causes the immune system
literally to malfunction from overload—too much of an immune response generated from
toxic adjuvants. This monograph demonstrates that these injections are associated with
children’s escalating disease patterns, especially autism, ADHD, ADD, and diabetes.
There has to be a correlating factor in the trending pattern of younger children coming
down with chronic, adult-type diseases.
That is the imperative issue why Congress must investigate how vaccines are
manufactured and, in particular, the toxic adjuvants such as aluminum, mercury,
formaldehyde, formalin, foreign species DNA, and a listing seven (7) pages [1] long of
excipients, adjuvants, and growth media that can cause and/or can be associated with
immune response overload, severe adverse events as reported in VAERS (Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System), and long-term chronic diseases, e.g., diabetes and
cancer.

Genes from swine H1N2 influenza virus circulating among the North America swine
population in the 1990's, genes from H3N2 North American swine influenza, and genes
from H1N1 Eurasian swine influenza all have similarity to portions of the 2009 pandemic

What is the probability of swine, bird (avian), human, Eurasian and North American
strains combining into one?
Question No. 2
Furthermore, how could the pharmaceutical company Baxter International file for a
patent for H1N1 flu vaccine on August 28, 2008 when the H1N1 virus DID NOT surface
until April 2009 in Mexico and was termed the Swine or Mexican flu?
In the chemical processes of the patent it is noted that the Carrier sleeve tank or removal
of micro carriers includes Benzonase [a genetically engineered product which hydrolyzes nucleic
acids], the addition of Formaldehyde. Also note the Tween 80 Stabilization process.
According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, which is part of the United
Nations, scientists from the organization are developing vaccines specifically to damage
fertility as a method of contraception. A suggested ingredient for the vaccine is tween 80
(polysorbate 80): “In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a
biodegradable oil such as squalene oil. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an
adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin in squalene oil. The aqueous solution
glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally
preferably contains Tween 80.” (Fertility Impairing Vaccine And Methods of Use’ This

Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection --- Mexico, March--April 2009 ….
On April 23, several cases of severe respiratory illness laboratory confirmed as swine-
origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) infection were communicated to the PAHO.
Sequence analysis revealed that the patients were infected with the same S-OIV strain
detected in two children residing in California (1). This report describes the initial and
ongoing investigation of the S-OIV outbreak in Mexico.

FDA, CDC Investigating Increase In Fever-Related Seizures In Young Children Following Flu Shot
The AP (1/20) [2011] reports that the FDA on Thursday "said there have been 36
confirmed reports of seizures this flu season in children ages 6 months through 2 years."
The seizures occurred "within one day after they were vaccinated with Fluzone, the only
flu shot recommended in the US for infants and very young children."
WebMD (1/20, DeNoon) [2011] reported, "The reports come from the FDA/CDC
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)." In a statement on its website, the
FDA said, "Data from VAERS are preliminary and serve as a sign or indication that
further investigation is warranted." The agency added that further investigations are
"under way to assess whether there could be an association between influenza
vaccination and febrile seizures, or if other factors could be involved."
MedPage Today (1/20, Neale) [2011] reported, Sanofi Pasteur said "rates of febrile
seizure after administration of our influenza vaccine have been stable for years even as
distribution of the pediatric formulation has increased." Sanofi is working "closely with
FDA in the investigation of these events and will thoroughly assess all cases of febrile
seizure and any other adverse experiences reported following administration of our
vaccine."

children under five around the country, but says parents should not lose confidence about

Statistically, health/disease data are difficult to hide, refute, or deny. In general, a trend
began emerging in the late 1980s when numerous childhood health anomaly statistics,
e.g., ADD, ADHD, ASD, were being published in peer review journals. On the other end
of the age spectrum, senior citizen data began to show a ‘pandemic-like’ emergence of
dementia never seen before in the practice of medicine nor in the published literature.
Adult dementia has escalated to the point where there are lock-down Alzheimer’s care
facilities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Alzheimer’s disease
statistics indicate something is affecting the elderly like nothing has in past generations.
One of the issues influencing this trend can be the escalation of annual flu vaccinations
for the elderly with toxic adjuvants and, in particular, the pneumococcal [pneumonia]
vaccine, which contains aluminum phosphate.

Number of deaths: 74,632
Deaths per 100,000 population: 24.7

In the August 2003 issue of the Archives of Neurology it was estimated that more than
4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, this number is
said to have doubled since the year 1980. http://diseasealzheimers.com/alzheimers-statistics.php [Emphasis

Remember, there was the CDC & HHS push in the late 1980s to have senior citizens
vaccinated annually against seasonal flu and pneumonia.

Before 1980 most Americans never heard of Alzheimer’s disease AND had not
experienced it. In Sweden the mortality rate for Alzheimer’s disease before 1980 was
0.2/100,000 person-years. In 2006 the mortality rate was greater than 9/100,000 person-
years. http://www.bentham.org/car/samples/car6-6/002AT.pdf
According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and as reported in
The New York Times, November 2, 1990, “The rate of Americans dying from
Alzheimer's disease increased tenfold in the 1980's,…” According to Dr. Richard Sun
of the CDC, "It's a little difficult to believe that the number of people with Alzheimer's
disease could increase 950 percent in eight years." [Emphasis added]

That’s why there is a need to investigate vaccines, their toxic adjuvants, how they are
marketed, and the spurious scientific studies that often are performed, financed, and
published by the very pharmaceutical company that makes the vaccines.

In Children
The prestigious Cochrane Library published the article “Vaccines for preventing
influenza in healthy children” January 25, 2006 wherein the authors’ conclusion in the
Abstract stated:
Influenza vaccines are efficacious in children older than two but little evidence is
available for children under two. There was a marked difference between vaccine
efficacy and effectiveness. No safety comparisons could be carried out, emphasizing the
need for standardization of methods and presentation of vaccine safety data in future
studies. It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under
two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months
old in the USA and Canada. If immunisation in children is to be recommended as a
public health policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes and directly
comparing vaccine types are urgently required. http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab004879.html
In Adults
The Cochrane Library Issue 7, 2010, published the article “Vaccines for preventing
influenza in healthy adults” wherein the authors’ conclusion in the Abstract stated:
Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working
days lost. There is no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or
transmission.
WARNING:
This review includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding
declaration). An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up
to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and
cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size.
Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions
favorable to the vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines
is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious
notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted
in light of this finding. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/o/cochrane/clsysrev/articles/CD001269/frame.html
In the Elderly
The Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2010, published the article “Vaccines for preventing
influenza in the elderly” wherein the authors’ conclusion in the Abstract stated:
The available evidence is of poor quality and provides no guidance regarding the safety,
efficacy or effectiveness of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older. To
resolve the uncertainty, an adequately powered publicly-funded randomised, placebo-
controlled trial run over several seasons should be undertaken.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 3
One of the more important issues that must be considered with regard to vaccines and
vaccinations is the unfortunate and debilitating adverse reactions that parents observe in
their children after having been vaccinated. That cannot be denied since it has been
documented over and over, particularly in the CDC’s VAERS reporting system.
A glaring vacuum exists regarding vaccines/vaccinations insofar as parents must have the
right to, enforcement of, and cooperation from physicians about informed consent, which
does not exist at present. Another ignored aspect that applies to those administering
vaccines is the need for their informed consent about a child’s chronic health conditions
and any genetic predisposition that could possibly lead to serious vaccine adverse effects
that, if known, would preclude administering a vaccine.
Mitochondrial Disorders
Governmental health agencies and vaccine makers must consider that some children are
born with mitochondrial disorders that may not manifest observable presences until the
toddler stage or even as late as ten years of age. Children with mitochondrial disorders
apparently are more susceptible to experiencing vaccine-related damage. One case of
particular interest is Hannah Poling’s—a female who, after having received numerous
vaccines in one day, developed regressive autism. See Government Awards Hannah
Poling $1.5 Million in Vaccine Injury Case http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/09/government-awards-

Point 2: General precautions are taken for various health disorders, e.g.,
Phenylketonuria (PKU) with regard to manufactured food product labeling, artificial
sweeteners, in particular. PKU-afflicted individuals do not have the ability to utilize the
essential amino acid phenylalanine. Since this genetic disorder occurs in one out of
10,000 to 20,000 Caucasian and/or Oriental births, recognition is made of the need for
informed consent with warnings distributed widely to preclude mental retardation
damage to PKU individuals.
Point 3: Mandatory childhood vaccines with their immune boosting adjuvants just
may be the inciting factor for any child with a mitochondrial disorder. That aspect, which
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 3
affects informed consent, needs further research before subjecting children haphazardly
either to single or multiple vaccines in one day.
The following list indicates the varying range of disorders associated with mitochondrial
problems:
Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). Onset of KSS usually occurs before the age of 20.
Symptoms include progressively constrained eye movements, droopy eye lids,
muscle weakness, short stature, hearing loss, loss of coordination, heart
problems, cognitive delays, and diabetes.
Myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF). MERFF is a mitochondrial
encephalomyopathy in which a mitochondrial defect as well as a tissue
abnormality called "ragged-red fibers" (an accumulation of diseased
mitochondria) is found microscopically. The resulting symptoms include seizures,
loss of coordination, short stature, build-up of lactic acid in the blood, difficulty
speaking, dementia, and muscle weakness.
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes
(MELAS). MELAS is a progressive mitochondrial disease that involves multiple
organ systems including the central nervous system, cardiac muscle, skeletal
muscle, and gastrointestinal system. Symptoms include muscle weakness, stroke-
like events, eye muscle paralysis, and cognitive impairment.
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). LHON causes progressive loss of
vision resulting in various degrees of blindness and primarily affects men over the
age of 20. Heart abnormalities may also occur.
Leigh syndrome. This degenerative brain disorder is usually diagnosed at a young
age (e.g. before age two). Deterioration is often rapid with symptoms such as
seizures, dementia, feeding and speech difficulties, respiratory dysfunction, heart
problems, and muscle weakness. Prognosis is poor with death typically occurring
within a few years of diagnosis.
Myoneurogenic gastrointestinal encephalopathy (MNGIE). Key features include
symptoms that mimic gastrointestinal obstruction and nervous system
abnormalities. Other symptoms may include eye muscle paralysis, muscle
weakness, loss of coordination, and brain abnormalities.
Pearson syndrome. With symptoms usually first appearing in childhood, the
characteristics of this rare syndrome include pancreatic dysfunction and anemia
(low red blood cells). Difficulty gaining weight, diarrhea, and enlarged liver are
other signs of Pearson syndrome.
Neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP). The symptoms implied by
this disorder's name include nervous system abnormalities, loss of coordination,
and progressive loss of vision. Developmental delays, dementia, and muscle
weakness may also result. Onset usually occurs in childhood.
http://www.answers.com/topic/mitochondrial-disorders
In the second bulleted item above, one notices certain symptoms [The resulting
symptoms include seizures, loss of coordination, short stature, build-up of lactic acid in
the blood, difficulty speaking, dementia, and muscle weakness.] that are recognized as
adverse reactions reported in children via VAERS reports.
Because of the inordinate state of sub-clinical malnutrition that exists in the USA,
mitochondrial disorders probably are on the rise. Most of the accepted treatments for
mitochondrial disorders consist of certain vitamin, coenzyme Q10, antioxidant therapy,
and carnitine supplementation either orally or intravenously, which indicate an
insufficiency of specific nutrients.
If these factors are not addressed with regard to the cavalier manner of
distributing vaccines and vaccinating children in particular with regard to informed
consent, we can project there probably will be hundreds of thousands of disabled children
in future years who will not be productive and will be a financial strain on health care
facilities, insurers, and costs, e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security disability.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 3
The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy,
and security of human and veterinary drugs. – FDA Mission Statement 1
Yet no other regulatory body has been criticized so extensively for falling down on the
job, letting too many risky drugs through, and being too dependent on and close to the
industry it is supposed to regulate. 2
Thus as the modern pharmaceutical industry grew after World War II, it infused the FDA
with a pro-industry culture that undermined the agency’s ability to protect patients from
unsuspected risks. 3 Regarding thalidomide: Vicks and Gr"nenthal decided that
marketing thalidomide to women for reducing nausea during early pregnancy would
generate additional sales, though no clinical trial was done to test this off-label use. 4
Approved as a sleeping pill in forty-two countries, thalidomide caused an estimated ten
thousand babies to be born with birth defects. 5
The analogy can be made to what is happening NOW with vaccines and their adverse
reactions and implications, particularly in the etiology of autism, which FDA constantly
disregards but upholds industry-supplied, conflict-of-interest studies that support
supposed vaccine safety.
The former medical director of Squibb testified that for half of all new drugs, “it is clear
while they are on the drawing board that they promise no utility; they promise sales.” 6
In other words, the current system at its best permits a significant amount of risk to be
shifted to patients and their doctors, as reflected in the proliferation of toxic side effects
described in Chapter 1. 7
Adverse drug reactions reported to the FDA nearly tripled between 1995 and 2005, from
156,000 to 460,000. A decade earlier, in 1985, only 38,000 reports were submitted.
[This is coincidental with the push for vaccinating infants and children and adults
with annual flu shots.]

According to Public Citizen, 1.5 million Americans a year are hospitalized due to
adverse drug reactions. If Americans consume about 40% of all drugs in the world, this
would mean 3.75 million hospitalizations worldwide. Between 1998 and 2005, reported
serious adverse events increased four times faster than the total number of outpatient
prescriptions. These studies each have their limitations, but together they indicate how
substantial are the risks that patients bear. 8
Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler has written that “only about 1% of serious
events are reported to the FDA,” and the FDA Office of Drug Safety believes only 1% of
ADRs [adverse drug reactions] are reported, which for 2005 would mean about 46
million adverse drug reactions. Furthermore, Light says, … ADRs are rising about 15%
each year… 9
Patients may reasonably expect the FDA and their physician to protect them from risk,
but in fact, both pass significant risk on to patients. 10 This, unfortunately, is the case in
vaccines, especially multiple-antigen vaccines such as MMR, DPaT, and routine 4- and
6-month infant vaccinations, some of which contain as many as 5 to 8 vaccines given at
one time.
To say that new drugs are tested to be “safe” is misleading. When any drug is approved,
the most one can say is that it is “apparently safe based on partial information.” …. If
trials were designed to test for safety, the risks to patients could be substantially reduced.
In addition, risks of serious side effects are sometimes known while under review, and
technical staff advise against exposing patients to them but are overruled.” 11
An example can be read in Congressman Henry Waxman’s, The Marketing of Vioxx to
Physicians (Washington, DC: United States House of Representatives, Committee on
Government Reform, 2005), http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20050505114932-41272.pdf
Vioxx exemplified the failure of public safety agencies and a great risk shift to patients. 12
The same can be said about most vaccines being manufactured and injected into infants,
toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens. The unfortunate difference between Vioxx
damage, for which there was a class action lawsuit, and vaccine-related damages is this:
Under law (PREP Act 42USC 247(d)-6d) that was passed regarding vaccine
manufacturers, harmed consumers have to obtain the right to sue for any health damages
from the Department of Health and Human Services. There is no such loophole in U.S.
tort law for any other product or service. Many damaged children and their financially
burdened and distraught parents are left to fend for themselves as a result of mandatory
vaccinations.

Merck, the manufacturer of Vioxx®, withdrew it from the market in September 2004.
However, no such retraction has occurred for Merck’s Gardasil® or GSK’s Cervarix®,
which have caused deaths and health destruction to thousands of young women globally
as documented in CDC’s VAERS reporting forms. (For additional information about that,
please see CDC’s VAERS Reports in this monograph.)
Could the Vioxx® misfortune have occurred because The pharmaceutical industry has
used its well-funded lobbying organization to campaign for faster approvals to maximize
sales and profits before patents run out. ….[T]his is increasing the risk of serious
adverse effects. 13
Conflict-of-Interest
According to Dr. Light, The risk proliferation syndrome starts with a regulatory system
that allows companies to test their own products and write up the results rather than
requiring independent testing. 14 Pharmaceutical companies engage in what can—and
should be—considered unethical practices such as excluding patients for skewed
demographical information; running short trials that show effectiveness but not toxic side
effects; recording only select toxic side effects rather than all; excluding subjects who
could not tolerate side effects and dropped out; and selectively publishing evidence to
support their marketing plans—just to mention a few, according to Light’s research. 15
Additionally, Sponsoring companies also engage in “ghost management” of research
and publications to make it appear as if academic researchers are doing the studies and
authoring scientific articles on the results. Companies also manage what gets published
and what does not. 16 These clinicians often publish the results in company-supported
journals and supplements. 17 This is an aspect of vaccine manufacture that needs
investigating by members of Congress.
The number of medications prescribed or given while seeing a physician rose from 425 to
679 million between 1990 and 2005. The number of prescriptions rose 72% between
1997 and 2007. 19 During this same time frame vaccine makers were producing and
promoting many vaccines. Currently there is an agenda to produce many more and that is
why it is incumbent upon Congress to investigate vaccines per se, their toxic adjuvants,
pseudo-scientific studies/published reports, marketing tactics to physicians, and what can
be construed as a consumer media ‘fear’ campaign.

A Danish autism researcher is being investigated by police for defrauding an estimated
10 million kroner from Aarhus University while he was employed there.
Dr. Poul Thorsen, one of the researchers involved in two well-known autism reports that
appeared in the influential New England Journal of Medicine, was accused of fraud last
month by the university and East Jutland Police have now got involved in the case.
Thorsen resigned on Tuesday from his position in the US as adjunct professor at Drexel
University in Philadephia, Pennsylvania in the wake of the investigation.
Thorsen’s fraud charges stem from the time of the reports, when he was employed at
Aarhus University. Police are currently investigating the disappearance of around 10
million kroner from grants given to it by the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, used to help fund the autism project.

As you know, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA/Agency) established the
Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) in 1992 in response to growing concern about
criminal violations of laws enforced by the FDA, including prescription drug counterfeiting,
new drug application fraud, and product tampering. The mission of OCI includes developing,
coordinating, and implementing Agency policy related to criminal investigations,
investigating potential criminal violations, and making recommendations on referral of cases
for further investigation and/or prosecution. Thus the work of OCI and its Office of Internal
Affairs (OIA) must be effective, efficient, and conducted in accordance with, among other
things, proper investigative procedures.
However because of concern with the operation and activities of OCI, including my
staff’s interview with its Director Terry Vermillion, on June 5, 2008, I forwarded a request
to you asking that GAO review the activities and operations of the FDA’s OCI/OIA. On
January 29, 2010, GAO issued its report, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, Improved
Monitoring and Development of Performance Measures Needed to Strengthen Oversight of
Criminal and Misconduct Investigations, GAO-10- 221 (Report).
The whistleblower goes on to state that while GAO was conducting its work the
following are but a few of the events that took place “under their noses.” Specifically, the
whistleblower states that Terry Vermillion, Director of OCI:
· Relocated his domicile to the Hampton, VA, area and now directs the work of
OCI predominantly over the phone.
· Used OCI technical support staff and his information technology staff to
do personal work for him.
· Routinely had OCI training session and conferences held in the Dallas, TX area
so that he could visit family (son and grandchildren).
Perhaps the most troubling allegation received involves the potential compromise of a
GAO testing protocol by a GAO employee during the inspection. According to the
whistleblower:
Oh, by the way, someone in GAO was telling someone in OCI things about the
investigation. Apparently GAO sent a test case to OCI to see how OCI would handle
it. Someone in GAO told OCI this and OCI knew it was coming and knew which was
the test case. I don’t know who in GAO was the snitch and I don’t know who in OCI
was receiving the information, it might have been to FDA’s office of legislative
affairs and not OCI, but I do know it happened.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 4
Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the research impact of scientific fraud through
citation analysis of 20 Breuning publications, using the 1980 to 1988 Science Citation
Index and Social Sciences Citation Index. These publications received 200 citations, of
which 80 (40.0%) were self-citations by Breuning or his coauthors. Tracked over time,
non—self-citations declined sharply in 1986 and later years, coinciding with disclosure
of Breuning's fraud. The data indicated that, in this case, researchers effectively shunned
work known to be or even suspected of being falsified. Unique citation contexts (101)
were examined to see how citing authors used Breuning's work: 33 were negative
(disagreed with findings/methods), 10 positive (agreed), and 58 neutral (no valuation).
Also, 63 were inconsequential (no influence on the citing author's analysis/conclusion).
Thirty-eight were material, but 21 of these led to negative conclusions. These data
diminish the apparent impact of Breuning's work suggested by total citations alone.
---
The current debate on scientific fraud continues to focus on the small but growing number of
studies that report falsified research. Little attention has been paid to the question of what
impact these studies have on research. That is, how frequently were they cited, and, just as
important, how were they used by citing authors?
The present study is a first effort to answer this question through a citation analysis of
publications by Stephen E. Breuning, who in 1988 was prosecuted and convicted in federal court
of scientific fraud (New York Times, May 24, 1987:A16). 8-10

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 4
One presenter, Ms. Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Women,
countered the statement made by Dr. Marie McCormick, MD, an FDA advisory board
member, that there were no fetal deaths and/or spontaneous abortions reported due to
pregnant women receiving the H1N1 vaccination. Ms. Dannemann cited 178 CDC
VAERS reports of spontaneous abortions/and or deaths from pregnant women receiving
the flu vaccine.
To corroborate Ms. Dannemann’s statement, three VAERS reports are attached that
indicate as symptoms: Abortion spontaneous. They are VAERS ID: 386371, 370543,
and 370554 [pages 48-50 in this monograph]. The entire listing can be accessed at
www.progressiveconvergence.com/VAERS%20updates.htm. These should be enough to substantiate a
legitimate investigation as to why pregnant women are being targeted for flu vaccinations
when they contain toxins that cross the placenta and harm the fetus.
Notoriously, standard prenatal care instructs women to avoid alcohol, common OTC
medications, and Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other toxic
chemicals can harm the unborn baby to various extents depending on the toxicity…
www.associatedcontent.com/article/932023/safe_pregnancy_tips_10_things_women_pg2.html?cat=52 Why, then, are the
toxins included in flu and other vaccines permitted to be injected into a pregnant
woman? This is another pressing reason why congress must investigate vaccines per se.
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 4
According to the above web site, NVIC found there were 47,426 events associated
with the flu vaccine.
Why isn’t the media reporting on such statistics as 47,426 adverse reactions or events
resulting from infants, young children, and adults having such widespread reactions to the
flu vaccine? Yet, pregnant women, the population in general, and infants are mandated
to get the flu vaccination.
~~~
To corroborate that flu vaccines are implicated adversely in pregnant women, please see
the next three pages where “abortion spontaneous and stillbirth” are listed under
Symptoms on actual VAERS reports that were placed into a database collected by
Progressive Convergence at http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/VAERS%20updates.pdf
That database was updated December 22, 2010 and shows 219 pregnancies apparently
compromised as a result of the flu vaccine received by pregnant women.

Administered by: Unknown Pu rchased by: Unknown
Symptoms: Abortion spontaneous, Body temperature increased,

Write- up: Report received from a regulator on 20-NOV-2009. A
31 year-old female patient (initials: unknown, pregnant: 18 weeks)
received PANVAX H1N1 (batch number; yet to be identified) on
09-OCT-2009. The medical history is unknown. Concomitant
medication included an unspecified anti-depressant. On 10-OCT-
2009, 24 hours after PANVAX vaccine was administered, the
patient was admitted into hospital for observation due to a slight
temperature of 38.6C (unsure of who recorded this information).
Investigations revealed low platelet count. The patient was
discharged on 11-OCT-2009. The patient had her platelet count
rechecked on 13-OCT-2009 and results were within normal range.
On 16-OCT-2009, the patient had per vaginal bleeding which lead
to a miscarriage on 18-OCT-2009. The medical officer involved
stated that the miscarriage was unlikely due to the vaccine but due
to the low platelets on 10-OCT-2009. The patient outcome is
unknown. The regulator considered events possible to the suspect
drug. This case was reported as serious because of hospitalisation
and medical significance. The company considered events
unassessable to the suspect drug due to insufficient data relating to
the patient''s medical history and concomitant medications.
Information derived from this AE report does not change the
current safety profile of the product. [Based on the timing of the
adverse event and the stage in pregnancy, this CSL FLU(H1N1)

ADHD

USA diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Source:

Childhood Cancers
How many children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States annually?
In the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under age 15 were
diagnosed with cancer and about 1,545 children will die from the disease (1). Although
this makes cancer the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children 1 to 14
years of age, cancer is still relatively rare in this age group. On average, 1 to 2 children
develop the disease each year for every 10,000 children in the United States (2).[Emphasis
added]
CDC’s Report
However, Dr. Catherine Rice, PhD, in a December 18, 2009 CDC briefing stated,
The new report finds that between 4.2 to 12.1 per 1,000 children with an average of 9.0
per 1,000 children were identified with an ASD. This translates to about 1 in 80 and 1 in
240 children with an average of about 1 in 110 identified with an ASD. [Emphasis added]

Down Syndrome
Prior to the late 1980s when numerous mandated vaccinations for infants began and
during the 1990s when toddler health anomalies started manifesting ‘profusely’, the most
common childhood disability was Down Syndrome (DS), formerly called mongolism.
About 1 in 800 babies is born with Down Syndrome.
The Triple Screen Test or AFP is performed around the 16th week of pregnancy to screen
for increased risk of Down Syndrome. If your test comes back "positive for Down
Syndrome" it means that you have an increased chance of having a baby with DS, not
that the baby actually has it. There are other, more definitive tests to determine that.

~~~
Nowhere in the published medical literature do research papers document the
‘pandemics’ of chronic diseases in toddlers and children before the late 1980s.
Yes, there was asthma, but not seen and experienced in young children as now. There
also were infectious diseases that were self-limiting and diminished BEFORE the
introduction of most of the vaccines for them. See impressive charts and graphs
documenting Vaccines Ineffectiveness with Validation from Peer Review Journals
Charts and Graphs in this monograph.
In order to understand these ever-increasing health anomalies, one has to think out of the
box and start connecting the dots, something that vaccine makers will not consider.
Big Pharma cannot be faulted for not wanting to find the reasons since they profit from
vaccines and have immunity from product liabililty vaccine damage to health via the
1986 National Child Vaccination Act, which protects the pharmaceutical industry NOT
the inordinate number of vaccine-damaged children.

Measles
According to a New England Journal of Medicine article, Epidemic Measles in a Highly
Vaccinated Population: During November, 1975, to May, 1976, measles occurred at a
rate of 20.3 cases per 1000 in a purported immunized population, of whom historical and
serologic survey revealed that 9 per cent had no history of either measles illness or
vaccination and 18 per cent did not have detectable measles antibody. ….
During a measles outbreak, more cases occurred in those receiving vaccine when less
than 12 months old than in those vaccinated at !12 months (37 per cent vs. 9 per cent,

SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Japan
In 1975, when Japan stopped vaccinating children under the age of 2 years dramatic
improvements in their infant mortality occurred. Japan’s place in the world scale of
infant mortality went from 17, a poor position, to number 1, the best performance. It is
quite clear that the shift of the lower vaccination limit to 2 years resulted in a dramatic
decrease in SIDS going quickly from a very high to the lowest rate of infant deaths in the
world. Between 1970 and 1974, 37 infant deaths occurred after DPT vaccination in
Japan and because of this the doctors in one prefecture boycotted the vaccination.
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=62205
In 1975 Japan raised the minimum vaccination age to two years; this was followed by the
virtual disappearance of cot death and infantile convulsions.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 5
England
The Times/The Sunday Times of July 7, 2006, discusses a British Medical Journal
online article about whooping cough that says, Millions of British children have
probably been infected with whoopping cough even though they have been immunised
against it. A study has found that nearly two in five children who went to their GP
with a persistent cough had suffered from whooping cough, though very few doctors
diagnose it. The results suggest that the whooping cough vaccine is ineffective at
preventing infection, but makes symptoms less severe—thereby concealing just how
common it remains. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article684270.ece
Australia
Whooping cough is on the rise in industrialised countries, despite long-standing
vaccination programmes. Now researchers from the University of New South Wales in
Sydney, Australia, have an explanation for why: at least two strains of the bacteria that
cause the infection have evolved to evade today's vaccines.
According to The Daily Telegraph of Sydney, "the research team analysed more than 200
samples of the bacterium collected over the past 40 years in Australia and compared
them with samples from Japan, Canada, USA and Finland". They found that there are at
least two strains that the vaccine may not protect against - known as MT27 and MT70.
At least in rich countries, many people may think that whooping cough - also known as
pertussis - is a killer from a pre-vaccination era. The new study, which is published in
this month's edition of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, emphasises that
incidence rates have been recently increasing in many industrialised countries. Prior to
this study, scientists were unsure why.
Now it seems an upgrade to a new type of vaccine may be to blame. Up until 1997, a
"whole-cell" vaccine was used before it was phased out over two years because of
concerns about side effects. Since 1999, a new "acellular" vaccine has been used.
http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2010/02/whooping-cough-evolves-to-esca.html
The Netherlands
In The Netherlands, as in many other western countries, pertussis vaccines have been
used extensively for more than 40 years. Therefore, it is conceivable that vaccine-induced
immunity has affected the evolution of B. pertussis. Consistent with this notion, pertussis
has reemerged in The Netherlands, despite high vaccination coverage. Further, a notable
change in the population structure of B. Pertussis was observed in The Netherlands
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 5
Slovenia
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a mandatorily notifiable disease in Slovenia and since
1959, there has been an active national immunization programme. ….Whooping cough is
highly infectious, and before vaccination was introduced, almost all children became
infected. However, vaccination does not prevent the infection or asymptomatic carriage,
and immunity wanes after vaccination. ….Some hypotheses for this apparent vaccine
failure are: antigenic shift so that the circulating strains and vaccination strains of
Bordetella pertussis diverge and vaccine efficacy is reduced; other factors, alone or in
combination. …. The extent to which bacterial polymorphisms affect vaccine efficacy
probably depends on the vaccine used, on the proportion of polymorphic bacteria in the
human population, and other factors. http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=2779
Finland
An article in Acta Paediatrica states, The purpose of this study was to find an answer to
the question of why whooping cough cases occur in Finland in spite of the high
acceptance rate of DPT vaccine. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1651-2227.1982.tb09618.x/abstract

~~~
Anomalies Regarding Vaccines
So why, then, does an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association make
this statement: The risk of measles and pertussis is elevated in personal exemptors. Public
health personnel should recognize the potential effect of exemptors in outbreaks in their
communities, and parents should be made aware of the risks involved in not vaccinating
their children. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/284/24/3145 when it’s been demonstrated in
various countries that measles and pertussis vaccines don’t work even with highly

The pharmaceutical industry in the USA is known as Big Pharma. That epithet may
represent the fact that it makes BIG money on pharmaceuticals and vaccines and has
tremendously BIG political clout in congress and at oversight agencies like FDA.
However, with many prescription drugs going off patent and the resultant loss of revenue,
the pharmaceutical industry is ‘re-inventing’ its marketing strategy: A product that cannot
lose money-making capabilities by going off patent, cannot easily be made generically,
and will guarantee a ‘closed’ marketplace. That product is vaccines, the more the better.
There are more than 20 vaccines in the pipeline for future development.
Estimates indicate that a prescription drug filled by a generic drug will cost about $40
less. Two of the biggest moneymaking drugs go off patent by 2012. Lipitor® (generic:
atorvastatin), a statin, is the best-selling drug in the USA; its patent expires in 2011.
Plavix® (generic: clopidogrel), an anti-clotting drug, will go off patent in 2012.
Vaccine Court
Perhaps there’s more to this new marketing scheme for more vaccines because of the
hidden perk of no legal liability for adverse reactions and or vaccine damages for
manufacturers. Basically, there’s a no-fault system for litigating vaccine injury claims,
the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, established by the
1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA). The only financial involvement
for vaccine makers is an excise tax of 75 cents on every dose of covered vaccine
purchased. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) includes and covers all
vaccines on the Vaccine Injury Table maintained by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services.
According to Wikipedia:
In March 2006, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs suing three
manufacturers of thiomersal could bypass the vaccine court and litigate in either state or
federal court utilizing the ordinary channels for recovery in tort (Holder v. Abbott
Laboratories Inc., 444 F.3d 383). This is the first instance where a federal appeals court
has held that a suit of this nature may bypass the vaccine court. The argument was that
thiomersal is a preservative, not a vaccine, so it does not fall under the provisions of the
vaccine act. That may be one of the over-riding reasons why vaccine makers may be
trying to get away from thimerosal, a mercury preservative in vaccines, particularly
multiple dose vaccines, and residually in seasonal flu vaccines. However, aluminum,
formaldehyde, and other toxic adjuvants still pose horrendous health problems.
Currently, over 5,000 families are trying to prove that vaccines caused autism in their
children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_court
That’s not enough for Big Pharma. It wants everyone to be immunized for every possible
disease, which is patently ridiculous since there will be more disfunctional and sick
people who will overwhelm the cost of health care and all other statistical records,
including the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to Time magazine, in 2009
health care was 17.3% GDP or $2.47 Trillion. Global vaccine sales for 2009 totalled
$22.1 Billion! [USA Today, August 13, 2010] Pediatriac and flu vaccines led the growth in
vaccine sales.
Pediatric vaccine sales outstrip adult vaccine sales and are expected to increase at a faster
rate than adult vaccines. Combination and pneumonoccal vaccines are expected to lead the
growth. While adult vaccines currently make up 47.8 percent of the market, that share will
likely decrease by 44.6 percent in 2014. Influenza vaccines will likely be the fastest growing
segment of the adult vaccine market over the next five years.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 7

Avandia® Warnings
The problems and reported injuries related to Avandia® have led to increased warnings
from the FDA about the risks of heart attacks and congestive heart failure. Many experts
have pushed for a recall of the drug to protect consumers from serious injuries related to
the use of the drug. https://consumerinjuryalert.com/avandia2/index.php
Health problems associated with Avandia® are another example of how pharmaceutical
companies are able to get their products approved by the FDA, and how those products
are harming people. The same analogy can be made for vaccine pharmacology and
what’s happening to children.
Roche Pharmaceuticals
Flawed study backs Tamiflu (William Campbell Douglass, II, MD)
Drug giant Roche is being accused of hiding key data from eight unpublished studies on
its flu drug, Tamiflu… and, as a result, researchers now say there’s no evidence that the
drug can reduce the risk of flu complications such as pneumonia.
What are they hiding? Who knows — but you don’t lock the smartest and most attractive
kids in the attic.
The Cochrane Collaboration tried to update their earlier review of the research — but
the company demanded a confidentiality agreement in exchange for access to those eight
shady studies.
I’m thrilled to say the researchers told Roche where to stick that agreement. Too bad that
kind of integrity is all too rare.
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 7
In an editorial that accompanied the new review in the British Medical Journal, editor
Fiona Godlee tore into the company. She wrote that the studies originally used to back
Tamiflu were written by Roche employees and consultants, and that one researcher
named in a study even claimed no involvement in the project.
http://douglassreport.com/2010/01/08/hide-and-seek/
Of the trials, only 5 were judged adequate by usual Cochrane Collaboration methods,
Dr. Jefferson and colleagues write. Most of the trials were at risk for bias resulting from
poor descriptions of the methods, no description of losses to follow-up, and blinding.

Does oseltamivir, better known as Tamiflu, prevent complications from influenza, such as
pneumonia and influenza? We're no longer sure, the Cochrane Collaboration, an
international group that produces reviews of the medical literature, said in a paper
published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) last night.
http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2009/12/after-struggle.html
In October 2005 there was grave concern about bird flu; the use of Tamiflu; and the
World Trade Organization was allowing governments to override patents during national
health crises. See http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-10-25-bird-flu_x.htm?POE=NEWISVA
Based upon the Cochrane Collaboration’s findings stated above, there’s the great
probability that Tamiflu won’t work.
Abbott Laboratories
Report Details Drug Company’s Close Ties With Disgraced Doctor
After a Baltimore hospital barred a cardiologist for allegedly performing unnecessary
implants of heart stents, the company that manufactures the stents hired him to consult
and market the devices, according to internal e-mails and memos released today [Dec. 6,
2010] in a Senate Finance Committee report.
http://www.propublica.org/blog/item/read-report-details-drug-companys-close-ties-with-disgraced-doctor
From that report: Later, when Midei’s practices came into question, Abbott sent him to
consult overseas because in the United States, “the press is just too hot.” An email from
February this year shows an Abbott executive recommending that the company “continue
to work with him, behind the scenes, at this point. We’ve just decided not to have him
doing any public type work in the U.S. right now.”
http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/senate-finance-committee-report-on-cardiac-stent-usage-at-st.-joseph-medica
Reporter Marian Wang, of ProPublica, reporting on the above story said, “We’ve
reported that hundreds of doctors who have been accused of misconduct or lacked
credentials have been hired by drug companies as speakers and consultants.”
Amy Goodman, January 19, 2007 said, “A striking example is how Paxil was revitalized
as a treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder. Its company hired a public relations firm to
frame this condition as a major and common medical problem, and the firm launched
a multifaceted campaign that moved beyond advertising to get stories about Social
Anxiety Disorder placed in print media and on television.”[Emphasis added]
http://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/19/big_bucks_big_pharma_marketing_disease
The above indicates how Big Pharma ‘creates’ the need for its products: prescription
drugs and vaccines, by hiring public relations firms to spin or ‘create’ a disease. That has
to be investigated since it borders on corporate governance influencing oversight
agencies and health regulations. In many instances that also means health care
consumers are being prescribed certain ‘medications’ and vaccinations with toxic
adjuvants that increase the costs of health care due to vaccine adverse reactions.
Figure 9: England & Wales, Mean Annual Measles Mortality Rates 1850 – 1965

Measles vaccinations were not introduced in England and Wales until

The FDA has taken swift and strong action by requesting that Zelnorm be pulled from
the market. Simply put, the risks outweigh the benefits. The drug has been deemed too
dangerous according to the FDA. … The FDA announcement regarding the GI drug
Zelnorm describes the safety reasons for stopping the marketing and sale of this drug. A
recall from marketing of a drug like this is a sign that Zelnorm has dangers that were
not previously being told to doctors who were prescribing the drug. [Emphasis added]

Novartis has been named in US lawsuits filed in California and NewJersey [sic] on
behalf of consumers, accusing the company of conspiring with the American Psychiatric
Association to "create'' a disease by hyping the benefits of Ritalin (methylphenidate) in

http://www.thepharmaletter.com/file/9089/novartis-named-in-ritalin-lawsuits.html [Emphasis added]
With numerous product liability lawsuits filed against Novartis, it seems it will be able to
get off Scott-free from legal liability on any synthetic genomics adverse reactions
because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and the U.S. Vaccine Court.
That will be another travesty against unsuspecting infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and
senior citizens who are mandated to take vaccines/vaccinations. This will be another
example of how corporate governance is dictating health care policy while contributing to
the enormous increases in the costs of health care.
What can be expected of a vaccine maker with a history of product liability lawsuits and
its desire to generate new vaccine technology, but without any risk of liability due to the
workings of the Vaccine court?

Novartis Announces Agreement To Develop Influenza Vaccines Using Revolutionary
'Synthetic Genomics' Technology
October 13, 2010
"Synthetic Genomics Vaccines Inc is pleased to be working with Novartis on this key
application of synthetic genomic technology," said Dr. Venter, founder and CEO of
SGVI. "The Venter Institute has a long and successful history of working with Novartis
and we are excited to extend this relationship with SGVI to use the latest advances in
our science to improve and enhance vaccine development and production."
Novartis plans to test vaccines that could potentially result from this new approach in
large-scale clinical trials. Review and approval from country health authorities will be
obtained before any commercial use.
SVGI is a new company formed by Synthetic Genomics Inc and the not-for-profit
research institute, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI). JCVI is currently working to
sequence genes representing the diversity of several viruses, including influenza virus,
and Novartis has been working with JCVI for more than a decade to apply their
findings in the genomics field to develop novel vaccines that prevent disease. The last
collaboration introduced the use of genomics in vaccines research, a technology today
known as "reverse vaccinology".
With regard to the statement to develop novel vaccines that prevent disease, everyone,
th
and Congress in particular, must question how come the USA ranks 37 on The World
Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems with countries like
Morocco [29] and Costa Rica [36] ahead of it. http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html
Furthermore, the U.S. Total Health Expenditures as % of Gross Domestic Product

Added Health Care Costs From Vaccines/Vaccinations
Our recently published data (4) shows [sic] that for every child that may have a
prolonged benefit from the hemophilus vaccine, 2 to 3 children may develop vaccine
induced diabetes. …. We found that the incidence of diabetes rose 60% in New Zealand
following a massive hepatitis B immunization program (1).
The CDC initiated a study to verify our findings. Their preliminary data has been
published and shows hepatitis B immunization when given starting after 8 weeks of age is
associated with a 90% increase in the risk of diabetes (2), supporting our findings.
Our data shows [sic] the risks of several vaccines are likely to exceed the benefits in low
risk groups and cost US citizens over $10 billion a year. Our recently published data (4)
shows that for every child that may have a prolonged benefit from the hemophilus
vaccine, 2 to 3 children may develop vaccine induced diabetes.
All told we estimate that there are over 10,000 cases of vaccine induced diabetes in the
US each year. On average each case may cost $1 million in lost productivity and
medical expenses. The estimated liability cost of the vaccine induced diabetes is over $10
billion per year. The current cumulative liabilities to the US government and to
manufacturers could exceed $250 billion. [Emphasis added]

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
Probably for no other reason than political campaign contributions, most members of
Congress avoid a discussion about vaccines and vaccinations. However, some members
are conscience-struck and express their valid concerns.
Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) is a medical doctor who understands the issues better
than most folks. This is what he has to say about swine flu politics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV5-Y08qbjo
Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) has a grandson who, two days after receiving nine (9)
vaccines at once, came down with autistic symptoms. In December 2002 Congressman
Burton chaired a hearing on thimerosal/mercury in vaccines, which is recorded at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id-gGYQihaM
~~~
To understand how Congress feels about health care issues and why members probably
are reluctant to investigate Big Pharma’s vaccine ‘pseudo-science’, one only has to read
the New England Journal of Medicine article “Health Policy and Reform, Remaking
Health Care” published in the November 18, 2009 issue wherein very candidly it states:
Since 2006, the health sector has spent $1.7 billion lobbying Congress and federal
agencies — more money than any other sector of the economy.
Dr. Robert Steinbrook, MD, who wrote that article, goes on to say, “If current trends
continue, the health sector is likely to spend more than a half-billion dollars on lobbying
in 2009. Pharmaceutical and health care products companies alone are likely to spend
more than $250 million, and the insurance industry, which is part of another sector,
more than $160 million. In all cases, these would be record annual expenditures.”
Additionally, The Center for Responsive Politics notes that a special interest’s lobbying
activity may go up or down over time, depending on how much attention the federal
government is giving their issues.
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
Excerpts from the above-referenced article indicate just how much ‘payola’ is involved in
pharmaceutical science; why legitimate and valid scientific research that challenges Big
Pharma’s pseudo-science that may be responsible for vaccine-damaged children and
increasing the costs of health care in the USA, is not heard nor given consideration.
Where is transparency in government when members of Congress take
pharmaceutical-generated talking points and use them as their own? That’s a
definite conflict of interest on the part of Big Pharma and must be stopped immediately.
Because of all that goes on in the politics of health care, some of which is referred to
as pseudo-science and results in hidden, controlled, and devious data, it is
incumbent upon Congress to investigate vaccines per se and their toxic
ingredients/adjuvants that cause adverse reactions and life-long illness and harm to
infants and children, in particular.

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
Currently there is tremendous concern about ionizing radiation from full body scanners at
the Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) airport security checkpoints.
Many respected scientists in the fields of biochemistry and biophysics are equally
concerned about health risks ensuing from such exposure. And yet, TSA—a government
agency—instead of protecting people, chooses to expose the public to added risks.
The same mentality exists at FDA with regard to vaccines and vaccinations with toxins,
neurotoxic minerals, and carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., formaldehyde.
On April 6, 2010, four colleagues at the University of California San Francisco (John
Sedat, PhD, David Agard, PhD, Marc Shuman, MD, and Robert Stroud, PhD) wrote a
letter of concern about those X-ray scanners to Dr. John P. Holdren, Assistant to the
President for Science and Technology, wherein they said,
Our colleagues at UCSF, dermatologists and cancer experts, raise specific important
concerns:
• A) The large population of older travelers, >65 years of age, is particularly at
risk from the mutagenic effects of the X-rays based on the known biology of
melanocyte aging.
• B) A fraction of the female population is especially sensitive to mutagenesis provoking
radiation leading to breast cancer. Notably, because these women,
who have defects in DNA repair mechanisms, are particularly prone to cancer,
X-ray mammograms are not performed on them. The dose to breast tissue
beneath the skin represents a similar risk.
• C) Blood (white blood cells) perfusing the skin is also at risk.
• D) The population of immunocompromised individuals--HIV and cancer
patients (see above) is likely to be at risk for cancer induction by the high skin
dose.
• E) The risk of radiation emission to children and adolescents does not appear to
have been fully evaluated.
• F) The policy towards pregnant women needs to be defined once the theoretical
risks to the fetus are determined.
• G) Because of the proximity of the testicles to skin, this tissue is at risk for
sperm mutagenesis.
• H) Have the effects of the radiation on the cornea and thymus been determined?

The same unscientific approach regarding body scanners is observed at the U.S.
FDA where vaccine science is skewed to reflect the pharmaceutical industry’s
marketing campaigns rather than valid biochemistry.
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
Again, the four doctors who wrote to the President’s Science and Technology Assistant
reiterate similar contentions that those who oppose the ‘pseudo science’ of vaccines want
resolved: Harm to humans from scientific technology that is forced upon unsuspecting
and scientifically-ignorant consumers under the fear of penalty of the law, fines, and/or
imprisonment. With vaccine issues, there also is the deliberate removal of children from
their parents’ custody and care.
~~~
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
All vaccines are ‘safe and effective’ according to the U.S. federal health oversight
agencies’ public position that is supported and promulgated by mainstream media. To
question their ‘spin’ is likened to attacking motherhood and apple pie, and yet this ‘safe
and effective’ mantra is very odd.
Vaccine manufacturers were beset with so many lawsuits over vaccine injuries that they
were threatening to stop producing vaccines. In other words, the cost of vaccine-related
damage was becoming greater than the profits! Instead of exploring safety issues brought
to HHS/CDC/FDA attention by public clamor and the unprecedented rise in lawsuits,
government decided, instead, to take the vaccine manufacturers ‘off the hook’ by
indemnifying them against the lawsuits through a special national program, the Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP pays claims awarded to families that a
government vaccine court master deems injured. Many claims are denied.
Taking vaccine manufacturers ‘off the hook’ has a frightening consequence: The
elimination of lawsuits apparently results in less attention to safety in a ‘rush to profit’
thereby putting the public in ever-greater danger. See the book, The Risks of Prescription
Drugs, Donald W. Light, PhD, Ed., for details on how the pharmaceutical industry is
placing risk factors on the health care consumer.
After researching and reviewing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documents, there is no other conclusion
than both the safety and efficacy of vaccines are lacking and wanting. Thousands of
parents are telling similar stories: “We took a normal, healthy child for his/her shots and
after the vaccination, he/she never returned to normal again.”
When parents of some of these vaccine-injured kids approach authorities, reporting that
their child’s autism or other health anomalies were a sequel to vaccination reactions, the
response is most interesting. We’ve heard repeatedly, “Well, its not the vaccines.
Vaccines do not cause autism.” Considering that government agencies officials state they
do not know the cause, how can they announce it is not vaccines?
Until a massive public outcry, there had been no help directed at solving the riddle of
regressive autism. These same agencies that profess so much concern for our children’s
health, had turned a deaf ear to the pleas of these desperate families. How does one
reconcile a total disinterest in a virtual epidemic of autism by folks who ‘care’ so much
about our children that they are desperate to ‘protect’ them with vaccines?
As you will see in this monograph, government agencies don’t agree on safety data
either. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declares it’s perfectly safe to
repeatedly inject aluminum into our babies while another agency, EPA, declares doses––
even lower than those given to babies––as toxic for adults. Time and time again we find
"one hand doesn't know what the other is doing” in government health agencies. Some of
the vaccine "opponent" groups are quite emotional and, in their panic, may seem to rant a
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 9
bit but, then, many have been victims of vaccine injury, i.e., having lost their children to
vaccine damage, erroneous legal charges of Shaken Baby Syndrome, or death. The
horrible stories are legion and can no longer be viewed as the ‘coincidences’ physicians
and bureaucrats have claimed throughout the years.
A reading of the vaccine package inserts shows vaccines contain many ingredients known
to be toxic, cancer causing, allergenic, and a cause of infertility in other animal species.
For instance, Pentacel®, produced by Sanofi Pasteur which combines diphtheria, tetanus
toxoids, pertussis, polio, and haemophilus b vaccines in one shot, lists the following
excipients/ingredients in their December 2009 package insert: aluminum, polysorbate 80,
formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, bovine serum albumin (cow protein), 2-phenoxyethanol,
neomycin, and polymyxin B sulfate. http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm
Post-vaccination symptoms listed in their package insert include fever, pain and redness
at site, depressed level of consciousness, cyanosis [turning blue], vomiting and diarrhea,
extensive swelling of injected limb, irritability, inconsolable crying and screaming [a
neurological sign of brain inflammation, which Sanofi records as a Psychiatric
Symptom!], apnea [not breathing], cough, meningitis, and pneumonia.
Pentacel® does not contain mercury, however, multi-dose flu vaccine vials do—in the
form of thimerosal, a preservative that is 50% mercury—a known neurotoxin. Of
particular concern, other than mercury in flu vaccines, is the aluminum adjuvant, which is
present in most other vaccines, including Pentacel®. The cumulative dose of aluminum
now given to our littlest ones in the ever-increasing number of vaccines doses way
exceeds EPA safety limits for grown men!
When the science is explored, the behavior of government agencies in promoting and
mandating vaccines does not make sense. We, unfortunately, are left with the belief that
government has been ‘bought off’ by Big Pharma. At the least, vaccine/vaccination
consumers should have a right to informed consent––just like any other consumer
product, and to decline risking babies and children from developing chronic disease
and/or an untimely death, in exchange for the possible benefit of preventing an acute
disease from which the overwhelming majority of people recover—especially in these
days of better sanitation and antibiotics. See disease reduction rates prior to vaccines in
Vaccine(s) Ineffectiveness with Validation from Peer Review Journals Charts and Graphs

The editors of this monograph attended and made a presentation at the Health and Human
Services Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines September 2-3, 2010. On that
occasion, we heard the report of Dr. Marie McCormick, MD, that there were no
indications of H1N1 vaccine reactions among pregnant women. We were stunned when,
immediately following Dr. McCormick’s presentation, there was public comment offered
by Ms. Eileen Dannemann of the National Coalition of Organized Women, that the
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had documented 178 spontaneous
abortions following H1N1 vaccination.

Ms. Dannemann went on to say that she had received 70 additional reports through non-

expressed by any member of the advisory commission panel.
After personally confirming the VAERS and other reports, one of this report’s editors,
Laraine Abbey-Katzev, contacted Dr. McCormick’s office to be sure her email address
was correct. Laraine sent Dr. McCormick an email asking for an explanation of the
discrepancy. There was no response, so Laraine sent a second email. No response again.
Laraine contacted Dr. McCormick’s office and left a verbal message requesting a

26, 2010], still there has been no response.
At that meeting, I understood you to say that there were no VAERS reports of
miscarriages associated with the H1N1 Vaccine. However, Eileen Dannemann of the
National Coalition of Organized Woman, [sic] delivered a public commentary and stated
that there were 178 reports of H1N1 vaccine associated miscarriages, and other
miscarriage reports of which her group had learned. I have subsequently read the VAERS
associated H1N1 miscarriage reports, so can you clarify how you have come to say there
are no such reports?

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
My observations and research do not validate your statement that "vaccines have been
used safely for more than 50 years". Quite the contrary, my reading of the history of
vaccines shows it is fraught with documented disasters [including the presence of cancer
causing monkey virus, SV40, contaminating the polio vaccine].
I am unable to find any long-term studies on the health of vaccinated individuals and
populations. Further, to my knowledge there are no properly done studies comparing
vaccinated with unvaccinated populations. Also, I cannot find any double blind placebo
controlled studies in which the placebo is an inert substance. The only studies I've been
able to find cite placebos that are just other, older vaccines in common use.
All vaccines contain a myriad of excipients many of which are toxins or potential
allergens. Of considerable concern besides the mercury from thimerosal, is the aluminum
adjuvant used in most vaccines. Have you ever added up the total number of aluminum
micrograms injected into our kids over the course of their vaccine program? Concerns
about these excipients are magnified by the dramatic escalation of vaccines given to
individuals in the last 20 years or so.
I know you are aware that the increase in neuro-developmentally damaged kids parallels
the escalating vaccine program. How can you “know” that vaccines are not the cause?
Please show me the specific studies that have “proven” to you that vaccines are not at
fault.
Interestingly and sadly, it appears to me that our institutions are more committed to
preservation of the current vaccine policy, than they are to figuring out why we have so
many damaged, diseased ridden children. While I understand and share your concerns
about the possibility of a resurgence of vaccine prevented diseases, we cannot "stick our
heads in the sand" in denial that we may be trading acute illnesses for chronic ones
affecting much larger percentages of people. Since CDC's own documents and graphs
show that most of these vaccine preventable diseased [sic] were sharply declining in the
US anyway. This correlates with better hygiene, indoor plumbing, less crowding of
people, as well as the advent of antibiotics.
Some of the horrible diseases of the past simply disappeared in the States without
vaccines ever being developed. Thus many of our fears may not be well founded. Further,
we now realize how important nutrients are to general health and specifically to the
immune system. Proper intravenous use of Vitamin C as Na+ Ascorbate ('Google' Fred
Klenner, MD), zinc, and B-6 are among the nutrients that will have a powerful effect in
controlling acute disease. There are many factors which make the possibility of a return
of 19th and 20th century plagues very unlikely. Of course if we do not promote proper
health which starts with whole natural foods, we will continue to deteriorate to such an
extent that vaccine programs will become irrelevant.
Our population, including our children, is sick and degenerated. We are beset with all
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
manner of diseases, chronic disorders and ailments. While the causes for this are
multifaceted (and sadly unattended, as our disease care system is focused on treating
symptoms rather than finding causes), one wonders how vaccines can be excluded as a
contributor. The above "safety" statement could only reasonably be made if all of our
populace, including our children, were healthy. That would require individuals being
"symptomless and sign-less", certainly not a reality in our time.
I await the references, which contain studies substantiating your "safety" statement, and
wish to know what initiatives CDC or NIH (or any other related agencies) have taken to
identify the source(s) of the neuro-developmental damage to our kids.
Sincerely,
Laraine C. Abbey RN, CNS

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
Tuberculosis rates show a curve similar to the overall infectious disease rate.
Interestingly, the death rate from pneumonia and influenza from 1970 through 1996
shows a general increase, in spite of the ongoing vaccinations for influenza and the
introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 1977 and 1983.
Figure 2C. Crude Mortality Rates for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Measles, & Polio
(Graph from JAMA)
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
Diphtheria shows its greatest decrease of deaths prior to 1920. There was a spike in
diphtheria deaths during the early 1920s, shortly after vaccination was introduced, and
then the rate of decrease continued as before the vaccination's introduction. Whooping
cough (pertussis) and measles showed the same general trend of decrease during the
20th century.
Finally, take a look at the chart for death rates from all disease causes. From 1900 into
the 1920s, the infectious disease rate goes down at an impressive pace. This is a time
during which there were no vaccinations against childhood diseases. The decrease in
the rate of deaths continues at about the same pace well into the 1950s. Then, it starts to
level out, in spite of the fact that the vast majority of children were vaccinated during this
time.
Now, take a look at the same graph showing the death rates from all diseases. This
should make you nervous. The rate of death from noninfectious causes decreases
slightly from 1900 through 1920. However, during the 1930s, when vaccinations start
to be introduced, the death rate from noninfectious causes also started to increase!

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
The pharmaceutical industry dominates just about every aspect of the American
health care system that is related to its business interests. It uses its wealth and its
political clout to influence all who might check or monitor its activities—including
physicians, professional and academic institutions,… 1
The pervasive connections between the pharmaceutical industry and academia are
not limited…. Virtually every research-intensive medical center in the country now
has contractual ties with one or more drug firms,… 2
The public should be able to get trustworthy expert advice from physicians on what
drugs [and vaccines] are safe and effective and which of these, if any, are needed for
optimal and cost-effective treatment. This is unlikely if much of the profession and its
institutions are in the industry’s pocket. 3
In her blockbuster 2004 book, The Truth About the Drug Companies, Dr. Angell
states:
Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs [and vaccines] of dubious benefit,
this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution which might stand
in its way,… 4
Angell notes in her first chapter:
Perhaps the most quoted source of statistics on the pharmaceutical industry, IMS
Health, estimated total worldwide sales for prescription drugs to be about $400
billion in 2002. About half were in the United States. So the $200 billion colossus is
really a $400 billion megacolossus. 5 …consistently ranked as the most profitable in
the United States––by a long shot. (Only in 2003 did it fall to rank third…) 6

It appears that obscene profitability for the pharmaceutical industry may be driving the
vaccine mandates. To understand that, see this promotional copy for the World Vaccine
Congress 2011 conference at its website:
http://www.terrapinn.com/conference/world-vaccine-congress-washington/
Immunization lives at the intersection of the public and private sectors. …However,
for the most part, vaccine development and production is done by private entities
driven by commercial interests. [Emphasis added]

According to their Press Release October 6, 2010–– IMS Health Forecasts Global
Pharmaceutical Market Growth of 5-7 Percent in 2011, Reaching $880 Billion… The
U.S. will remain the single largest pharmaceutical market, with 3-5 percent growth
expected next year. Pharmaceutical sales in the U.S. will reach $320- $330 billion, up
from $310 billion forecast for this year… http://www.imshealth.com/portal/site/imshealth/menuitem

We are indebted to Vera Sharav, a professional law librarian turned public advocate

Protection (AHRP) for her excellent investigative reporting as follows.
http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/blogsection/0/9/
A report by Public Citizen documents the enormous scale of lawless activities by the
pharmaceutical industry during the past two decades--crimes for which the
government levied a minimum of $1 million in penalties. http://freepdfhosting.com/53888d5b53.pdf
Between 1991-2010, there were 165 criminal and/or civil settlements involving major
pharmaceutical companies who paid $19.8 billion in penalties.
Four of the world's largest drug companies--GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and
Schering-Plough--accounted for 53% ($10.5 billion) of penalties during these two
decades.
If that isn't shocking enough, during the past five years, Big Pharma has been
engaged in a veritable crime spree:
73% of these settlements (121) and 75% of the penalties ($14.8 billion) occurred
between 2006-2010.
"While the defense industry used to be the biggest defrauder of the federal
government…. The pharmaceutical industry now tops not only the defense industry, but
all other industries in the total amount of fraud payments for actions against the federal
government under the False Claims Act."
But government suits against the pharmaceutical industry have failed to address the
harmful human consequences--WHY? http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/744/9/
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
Parents of damaged or dead children realize, “It’s the vaccines!” Congress owes it
to them and to our nation’s future to thoroughly investigate vaccines per se. As
Arnold Relman and Marcia Angell warn us, “The consequences of continuing to allow
an essential industry to put profits above the public interest are simply too grave.” 7

FLUORIDE: How WRONG Can Health Agencies Be? Fluoride is a 50-year example!
Well, on Friday, Jan 7th, federal health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) finally admitted that American’s are getting too much fluoride, and for
the first time in nearly 50 years, reduced the recommended level from 1.2 parts per
million to 0.7. That’s a reduction of nearly 50%! http://www.askdrgarland.com/?p=3749
~~~
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans Friday [Jan. 7,
2011] to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in
nearly 50 years, based on a fresh review of the science.
One reason behind the change: About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or
spottiness because of too much fluoride, a government study found recently. In extreme
cases, teeth can be pitted by the mineral – though many cases are so mild only dentists
notice it. The problem is generally considered cosmetic and not a reason for serious
concern.
But there are also growing worries about more serious dangers from fluoride.
The Environmental Protection Agency released two new reviews of research on fluoride
Friday. One of the studies found that prolonged, high intake of fluoride can increase the
risk of brittle bones, fractures and crippling bone abnormalities.
The fluoridated water standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 parts per million for
warmer climates where people used to drink more water to 1.2 parts per million in cooler
regions. The new proposal from HHS would set the recommended level at just 0.7.
Meanwhile, the EPA said it is reviewing whether to lower the maximum allowable level
of fluoride in drinking water from the current 4 parts per million.
In addition, in 2005, the heads of 11 EPA unions, including ones representing the
agency’s scientists, pleaded with the EPA to reduce the permissible level of fluoride in
water to zero, citing research suggesting it can cause cancer. [Emphasis added]
In Europe, fluoride is rarely added to water supplies. In Britain, only about 10 percent of
the population has fluoridated water. It has been a controversial issue there, with critics
arguing people shouldn't be forced to have "medical treatment" forced on them.
For more information about the CDC’s position on fluoride, visit http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/
One of the ‘hidden’ facts about fluoride that is added to municipal drinking waters is
this: It is an industrial waste product! Sodium fluoride [NaF], according to
Wikipedia, … is prepared by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid or hexafluorosilicic acid
(H2SiF6), byproducts of the production of superphosphate fertilizer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluoride When fluoride orginally was added to municipal drinking
water systems fifty years ago, it was an aluminum industry waste product.
What does the January 7, 2011 CDC decision about fluoridating municipal water supplies teach us?
The rationale and reasoning for this article on fluoride in a monograph on vaccines is
this: To prove that government agencies make mistakes either unknowingly, willingly, or
whatever—AND humans pay the price for those misjudgments.
Similar mistakes are being made with vaccines, only the problems are much greater
and growing exponentially while there is an organized media campaign to keep health
consumers in the dark about the health hazards associated with vaccines and their toxic
adjuvants, excipients, and growth medium.

“…roughly 6 to 15% of Americans, on the day they die, have what any competent
neurologist or neurochemists or toxicologist would call severely toxic levels of mercury.
These levels are about 1,000 times that needed to cause neurons to die in culture.”
“The position of organized dentistry, primarily the American Dental Association (ADA),
that "no valid scientific evidence exists that dental amalgam poses any health risk-other
than rare, localized allergic reactions," is, in my opinion, indefensible in the light of huge
amounts of published science.”
“However, all of the scientific and biomedical facts together emphasizes the need for
congressional action to stop the exposure of Americans to mercury and organic
mercury compounds.” [Emphasis added]
Why are physicians still injecting people with mercury-containing flu vaccines and,
in particular, pregnant woman whose fetuses are impacted negatively since

Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
As a consumer health researcher for thirty-five years who’s been tracking vaccine
problems since the 1980s, I cannot understand how vaccine makers have successfully
hoodwinked the FDA, CDC, media and press, and the public about the ‘purported safety’
of poisonous and neurotoxic ingredients/elements in vaccines that are injected into new-
born babies, 4- and 6-month-old infants, toddlers, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens.
Truly, it is incumbent upon the U.S. Congress to investigate vaccines per se with their
toxins like mercury (a hazmat), aluminum (a neurotoxin), formaldehyde (an EPA-
declared carcinogen), polysorbate 80, and other industrial ingredients used as immune
‘enhancers’. Frankly, I’m dumbfounded at the disregard vaccine makers show for
elemental biology and chemistry. It seems to me that there’s intent to rewrite the
chemistry books we studied about the toxicity of ingredients and what happens when you
mix them together. We learned what happens in a chemistry lab beaker, but no one
seems to understand that similar reactions take place within infants’ cranial cavities and
their brains. The result is brain swelling and central nervous system damage. This
bothers me personally because so many in government and other high places are willing
to disregard the damage being done to pure, innocent, lovely infants, toddlers, and
children—the future of the world.

There are major flaws in the presumption of safety and efficacy of vaccines and
vaccination.
The debate is larger than vaccines contributing to this massive epidemic of ‘regressive
autism’ with its legion of mom’s clamoring, “It’s the vaccines.” This monograph
implicates vaccination in a wide variety of disorders and health-damaging effects, which
offset the ostensible good—even courts of law agree.
Powerful interests are being served in this bizarre ‘drug & vaccine disease-care
paradigm’ operating as the solution to our progressively failing health. Sadly, we have a
pharmaceutical industry, which apparently pulled political strings to be taken ‘off the
Vaccines & Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional 1
hook’ for safety concerns by a misguided federal government that passed the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986.
Vaccines were incurring so many lawsuits that the pharmaceutical industry threatened to
discontinue manufacturing them. The reasons government relieved them from lawsuit
liability are hotly debated, but the result was an apparent rush-to-profit by an industry
that saw great opportunity through indemnification by government.
I’ve had the privilege of helping restore health to well over 10,000 patients in my clinical
nutrition private practice. I counseled numerous families of neurodevelopmentally
damaged, behaviorally disturbed, and learning disabled children. Most of them had
excessive heavy metal burdens, i.e., mercury, lead, and aluminum. All of these children
improved on nutritional programs, which eliminated toxic metals and corrected various
nutrient-dependent enzyme defects.
Vaccination injects toxic metals, which accumulate in brain tissue. We believe the
evidence supports that these, and other vaccine ingredients, are contributing to brain and
bodily inflammation with frightening sequelae. The now advancing agendas making
vaccination a condition of employment and school attendance are clearly a threat to
health as well as to autonomy. As a result, shouldn’t researchers independent of Big
Pharma be in charge of vaccine safety issues?
