At this website, while searching for mycoplasma info, I found that the Professor refers to studies which showed about 6% of vaccines were contaminated with mycoplasmas. He says in a healthy individual this is not a real threat, but that in those already sick the integration of mycoplasma can cause more problems. The info is at www.immed.org/FAQ.HTM.

If you're sitting on the fence regarding any vaccinations, this should give you more food for thought.

Here's a list of what's in vaccines.

LYMErix is on the list - is it being given though it's apparently not effective? Still trying to figure out the Lyme vaccine issue...

I did read elsewhere, though, that viruses in vaccines are dead and can't replicate.

Still, I have never had a vaccine and won't... ingredients including chick embryo and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue? No way!

Did I see aspartame in one of these vaccines?? Thanks for posting the list of ingredients. How is it that California can prohibit thimerosal in vaccines and the rest of the country must take chances with the known adverse effects? ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMAND MERCURY/THIMEROSAL FREE VACCINES!

Surely the mfg's aren't going to broadcast mycoplasma contamination. I can't get the link to work from here, but got in right away when I was off the lymenet. The link posted is correct for the Q & A I was looking at this morning. Maybe the http://www.immed.org/FAQ.HTM is needed?

henson2,

Universities can be pretty strict but I'm surprised that yours is requiring the Hep B vaccine to ALL students. You probably could get an exemption.

In my case, I did a HIV/AIDS related study abroad in Kenya and Tanzania in 2001... If I wanted to go I had to submit. So I did.

Was vaccinated for Hep A and B and Typhoid and updated Tetanus-diptheria and MMR.

Don't recall FEELING any adverse health effects and I didn't get anything in Africa. There was an incident at an AIDS orphanage where I feared I may have contracted HIV but was tested when I came home and was okay. Phew.

Good luck!

I've haven't tried it myself yet, but Dr. Mercola has some information on how to avoid vaccinations.

How to Avoid Vaccines

From what I can gather, different states have different rules, but in some states you can be exempt for "medical" reasons, but in all (?) states you can be exempt for religious reasons.

Hope it helps.

You need to take the . (period) off after HTM. When you click on the link it adds a period after HTM.

Henson --

Depending on what state you live in, you can get either a religous or philosophical exemption..

philosiphical is easiest..
but religious, if you read and know the particular law..
can usually be interpreted to apply to almost any religion. Much of the Bible I see as a health book, actually..
talks allot about 'impurities' and 'natural health'.

You can also get a medical expemption from your Doc, but that is finite, and I would think it would be more difficult to change that later when the next year or 'requirement' comes up.

Mercola has some info, and there are also sites on the web that help you get your laws and know how to word your letter exactly..

some schools accept what the State requires and that is that, some give a really hard time, but in that case are usually over-stepping their bounds and not within the law and/or ignorant about vaccine health concerns (ie: think it is dangerous NOT to get vaccines)..

in that case, if you are taking religious excemption, just be sure not to talk about health concerns..

Once you read up a bit on how others have handled
it and also gotten your particulars, you should be fine.

Most people do not realize it is said to be 'mandated'..but you can absolutely get an exemption for these vaccines.

I wouldn't risk getting it when you are in perfect right not to.
Especially with Lyme..
(this is one thing I disagree with the
great and wonderful Doc J on, maybe the only thing [Wink] )

Here's an article on the dangers:


Health Freedom Resources - Public Awareness Announcement #14

It's the flu season... think twice before getting your vaccination. If you
are a care giver for children, please consider this material and its
related references carefully before allowing a child to be vaccinated.
This article is passed along to you from our friends at SunToads.


---------------------------------------------

FLU VACCINES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

Influenza is a specific syndrome, provoked by a specific viral agent, the
influenza virus. The symptoms may be severe, or even lead to exitus in
people with a weakened general condition.

Two main families have been detected, influenza A and B. But there are many
strains of influenza viruses, and, moreover, existing strains mutate all
the time. It is, therefore, an extremely difficult task to 'foresee' the
causative agent of a new influenza epidemic, and even more difficult to
produce a corresponding vaccine in time. The constant mutation of the
viruses, and the unpredictability of which virus will show up where and
when, makes the whole influenza vaccination business into a giant poker game.


The most intriguing deception of the public, however, is the suggestion
that the patient who gets an influenza-vaccination will not get the flu.
What is generally known to the public as 'a flu' is an influenza-like
syndrome, with symptoms like fever, chills, muskel- or joint pains, a
headache, a runny nose, and general malaise. This disease, however, has got
nothing to do with the real influenza, neither can it in any way be
prevented by an influenza vaccination. Thus, if doctors guarantee their
patients that they will not get the flu after they came in to get their
jab, this is an unethical manipulation, the basis for which most probably
is simply profit for both those who produce the vaccine and those who
administer it.


Apart from this manipulation, questions have to be answered as to the
efficacy and the safety of the vaccine.


----------------------------------

Efficacy


The lack of efficacy of the vaccine is well illustrated in a Dutch article
(1) about a home for elderly people, where in spite of vaccination of two
thirds of the population, a severe flu struck 49% of them, with strong
morbidity (bacterial infections, pneumonia) and high mortality (10%). An
important observation was that in the vaccinated population, 50% got the
disease, compared to 48% of non-vaccinated. Also, complement binding
antibodies for influenza A were positive in 41% of vaccinated compared to
36% in non-vaccinated. This clearly shows that the vaccination status did
not have a protective influence at all. Further laboratory investigation
confirmed that antibody building against the vaccine was normal, but the
causative influenza A virus had not reacted to the vaccine the patients had
been given.


Comparison with a similar situation in 1988 in a home for elderly people
shows that in that second case both morbidity and mortality were
significantly lower, namely 37 and 3%, respectively. The main difference,
however, was ... that in this second home patients had not been vaccinated!


Induction of antibodies in elderly people never is higher than 52-67% (2).
Morris even declares the efficiency is not more than about 20% (3).
Mistakes in production, transport, conservation and administration can be
responsible for a further decrease of efficacy (4).

-----------------------------

Safety


Questions about the safety of influenza vaccines are not new. As early as
1973, Rabin wrote that between 1966 and 1970 almost all USA-made influenza
vaccines were toxic (5).


I. Neurological complications


For many years, neurological complications of influenza vaccination were
simply denied. In 1966, Stuart-Harris wrote that "There is little direct
evidence that any of these neurological illnesses during or after influenza
are specifically caused by the influenza virus" (6). And in 1971, Wells
still believed that "There is at present no way of proving or of disproving
the aethiological relationship" (7).


Later on, USA studies proved that there was indeed a relationship between
both. Observations during and after the A/New Jersey mass vaccination
campaign in 1976 lead to convincing statistics (see GBS). German authors
calculated the frequency of neurological complications at 1/0.7 million
doses for influenza B vaccines and at 1/1.3 million vaccinations for
influenza A vaccines (4). It is clear that for these figures, only
documented cases have been taken into account, whereas as a rule not all
cases have been properly diagnosed and reported. The real figures, thus,
are likely to be higher. The first syndrome to be clearly correlated with
the influenza-vaccination was the Guillain-Barre paralysis (1977). But only
one year later, researchers discovered that neurological complications were
not at all restricted to this one syndrome; on the contrary, they found a
good number of neurological affections (8). Hennessen et.al. call the
spectrum of syndromes "remarkably wide" and notice that in the course of a
postvaccination disease process it is not rare for them to mingle into many
different mixtures.


Although the first syndromes were detected after the A/New Jersey mass
vaccination, complications after influenza vaccination can in no way be
attributed or limited to this one vaccine. All 28 cases described by
Hennessen et. al. e.g. were vaccinated with vaccines that did not contain
this A/New Jersey strain.


More epidemiological data were gathered by Hennessen et al. The incidence
of affections was significantly higher in autumn (September-November), four
times more common in males than in females, in all age groups (16-73 years
old) with an average age of 38,9 years. The interval between vaccination
and first symptoms varied between 24 hours and 4 weeks, with an average of
11.3 days (8).

A. Paralysis


1) Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

The relationship between influenza-vaccination and GBS was proven after the
1976 A/New Jersey mass vaccination in the USA. In eleven states, comparable
samples of vaccinated and non-vaccinated proved that in those vaccinated
GBS occured in 1,55/million, compared to 0,17 in non-vaccinated (9,11 times
more frequent in those vaccinated). (Hennessen quotes different figures:
8,0/million in vaccinated compared to 1,8/million in non-vaccinated 8). 31%
of cases were over 60 years old. Only 12% occured within 7 days after
vaccination, 74% between 8 and 28 days, and 14% even after one month 9.
Most cases were diagnosed between 2 and 4 weeks after vaccination. Single
cases occured up to 9 weeks after vaccination. Ehrengut & Allerdist mention
that, within 3 weeks after vaccination, the frequency already is up to 3,12
cases per million vaccines 4, which would raise the risk factor for
vaccines to 18,35.


Ehrengut and Allerdist describe a case which progressed from paralysis of
the extremities to affection of the intercostal muscles and facial
paralysis (4). This complication may occur in normal, healthy individuals
without any preliminary disease.


More cases were described during an IABS Symposium in Geneva, 1977 (10).


2) Facialis paralysis

This symptom generally occurs as part of a Guillain-Barre Syndrome (4,

8). 3) Paralysis of the extremities

Paralysis of both upper limbs occured in a 40 year old man, with severe
pain, atrophy of deltoideus muskles and hypoesthesia of the right arm after
inoculation in the left upper arm (4).

Paresis of both lower limbs in a 58 year old man (4).

Wells describes two cases of myelitis transversa (7).


4) Landry syndrome (8)

5) Hypoglossus nerve paralysis (11)


B. Polyneuritis

Polyneuritis may occur in hands and feet, eventually accompanied of
paralytic symptoms (4). Cases of polyradiculitis, polyradiculomyelitis and
polyganglioradiculitis are documented.

1) Hypoesthesia

2) Paresthesia (formication and numbness) have been noticed (4, 8).

3) Neuralgia

a) Trigeminus neuralgia (8)
b) Ischialgia (right sided) (8)
c) Intercostal neuralgia (chestpain) (8)
d) Sensory brachial plexus neuropathy (Parsonage-Turner Syndrome) (8, 12,
13).

C. Meningitis

Meningeal infection and a stiff neck with positive lumbar punction can
exist separately, or as part of a GBS syndrome (4).


D. Encephalitis

Encephalomyelitis and encephalopathy after influenza vaccination have been
documented. A case was described by Ehrengut & Allerdist with loss of
sight, then complete loss of consciousness and paralysis (4). Case 10
described by Hennessen had encephalitis with central disturbance of the N.
Vestibularis (8). Also case 13 in the same study had encephalitis. Case 20
& 21 were diagnosed as meningoencephalomyelitis. Woods describes a case of
encephalitis in a healthy seven year old girl in 1963 (14), Warren in 1956
(15), and another two cases were documented in 1962 (16).


E. Multiple Sclerosis

Some authors described a "recurrent encephalomyelitic syndrome" after
vaccination (17, 18). Hennessen et al saw a similar case, where they were
able to make the certain diagnosis of MS (8).

An exacerbation of symptoms was noticed in 1 out of 93 MS-patients
vaccinated against influenza 19, 20.


F. Ataxia

Difficulties in walking in a 34 year old man were noticed, nine months
after his influenza vaccination. The sensitive polyneuritis which also
started shortly after vaccination had not subsided by that time. Right
sided ataxia of lower limbs (8).


G. Headache

A strong headache (8) occuring within hours after vaccination is suggestive
for meningeal or brain irritation and deserves immediate further
investigation.


H. Disorientation about places (8)


I. Unconsciousness

Multiple drop attacks occured in a case described by Stor & Mayer (21).


J. Trembling of upper limbs (21)


K. Automatic motions of fingers and toes (21)


L. Aphasia (loss of speech) (8)


II. Respiratory Infections


A. Bronchitis

A strong bronchitis with fever was noticed in a 29-year old man who also
developed GBS later on (4).


B. Bronchopneumonia

This occured in a 41 year old man, where symptoms started with paresthesia
of fingertips, and ended up with death, 4 weeks after vaccination.
Pneumonia 14 days after vaccination (8).


III. Gastro-intestinal problems


A. Vomiting

This happened to a man 13 days after vaccination; paralytic symptoms were
noticed later on (4).


B. Nausea (8)


C. Rectal incontinence (8)


IV. Urinary symptoms

Dysuria or paralysis of the bladder

Difficulties with urination bothered a man 13 days after vaccination; a
distention of the bladder was diagnosed. Complete paralysis of the bladder
with necessity of catheterisation followed. Paralytic symptoms of the
extremities were noticed later on (4).


V. Sexual problems


Impotence

Lessening of sexual potency lasted for over 3 months in a patient who
suffered GBS (4). Sexual impotence (4).


VI. ORL


A. Vertigo

Vertigo with tendency to fall to the right side, 5 days after vaccination,
accompanied an encephalitis in an eighteen year old male 4. Vertigo with
nystagmus, within minutes after vaccination, so strong that the 13 year
old, healthy boy could not even stand up or sit anymore (4). Affection of
the N. Vestibularis in combination with encephalitis (8).


B. Noises in the ears (8)


C. Impeded hearing (8)


VII. Eyes


A. Prooptosis (8)

B. Oedema of the retina (8)

C. Diminished vision; blurred vision (8)

D. Diplopia (8)

E. Nystagmus (8)

F. Paralysis of eye muscles (cranial nerves VII & IX) (8)


VIII. Circulatory problems

A. Collapse (8)

B. Transient livid discoloration of the hands (8).

C. Allergic thrombocytopenia in a 58 years old man 7 days after vaccination.

D. Disturbed blood pressure (both increased of decreased) (8).

E. Angor pectoris (8).

F. Collapse (8)

Hennessen et al describe some cases, both in elderly men with either hyper-
or hypotonic crises, but also in a young man with ophistotonus, and
tonic-clonic fits within minutes after vaccination.


IX. General symptoms

A. Fever

Fever occurs together with other syndromes, e.g. meningitis or GBS.


B. Somnolence

This may also be part of a larger neurological syndrome, such as GBS (4), (8).


C. Fatigue

Fatigue can be part of a general decrease of functional capacities (21).

Chronic fatigue is known to last for years after the infection subsided (4).


D. Anaphylactic reactions

Typical for anaphylactic reactions is the short incubation time.


Ehrengut & Allerdist describe such a reaction in an allergic person 1/2
hour after vaccination (4). Warren describes a case where the reaction
followed 4 to 5 hours after vaccination with fever, coryza and
bronchospasms (15).


X. Mental problems

A. Difficulty in thinking (21)

B. Loss of initiative (21)

C. Confusion (14)

D. Hallucinations (14)


XI. Emotional problems

Sadness (21)


XII. Death

A 41 year old man died 4 weeks after vaccination, after progressive
polyneuropathy and bronchopneumonia had developed (4). Death within 4 days
(7).

----------------------------------------

Age Distribution


The many case descriptions available in medical literature prove that all
age groups are susceptible to side effects.


Particularly important is the frequency of patients with serious side
effects after the vaccine had been given for several years without any
problem. This means that a lack of side effects after a vaccination is not
a guarantee of safety of administration of the same vaccine in that patient
later on.


From those who suffered GBS after vaccination, 11% were under 30 years of
age, 58% were between 30 and 59, and 31% were 60 and more.

--------------------------------------

Etiology


Different mechanisms can play a role in the development of a
post-vaccination neuropathy.


a) Hypersensitivity reactions of the nervous system (serogenetic) are
responsible in a good number of cases. Poser and Fowler describe
similarities between GBS and serum disease.

b) Toxic reactions may occur soon after inoculation of the patient in the
absence of specific allergies.

c) Viral infection of the brain by vaccinal viruses (4) or by reactivation
of latent germs (21).

d) Activation of latent auto-immune diseases (21).


The fact that different vaccines from different manufacturers lead to
similar complications, suggests that these are not the consequence of the
impurity of a certain vaccine, but a risk inherent in any influenza vaccine.

----------------------------------

Contra-Indications

Any impairment of the immune system should be considered a contra-indication.


1. Allergies, especially to any substance of the vaccines; allergy to
proteins, cows milk etc.; hay fever... Allergic constitutions often lead to
hypersensitive reactions (8).

2. Akute infections with or without fever must be a reason to postpone or
abandon vaccination.

3. Chronic impairment of the immune system (auto-immune diseases) imply an
increased risk in case of vaccination.

If I would ever be in a situation where I was forced by a organization to get myself vaccinated, I would simply deny it. If they would threaten me, I would then quit, then sue them.

I don't know about the law in this case, but unless you are in the Military, or you are being employed by someone, a school should not force you to take medication.

I think there are loopholes in the law, I know a mother who (despite constant fighting), has legally beat off the school systems attempts to force vaccinations on her kids. (And her kids are in picture perfect health despite no shots.)

For the life of me, I can't figure out why they force vaccinations on something like Hep B. Considering Hep B is self limiting and does not cause long term effect. This is a case of the cure being worse than the disease.

On the flip side, the vaccine does cause effects on the body, some short and some long. Some serious, some annoying. But there is a very strong link between Hep B shot and neurological issues. There was even a famous Nascar race driver's little girl that is permanently crippled from the Hep B shot.

That's why France has banned it:

"In 1998, France became the first country to terminate a hepB vaccine program. The French Ministry of Health acted when complaints of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other illnesses in patients who received the hepB vaccine were reported. Up to 900 cases of MS may have been linked to the vaccine. (90)
Immunization with the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine trebles the risk of developing multiple sclerosis according to new U.S. research based on UK statistics. Published in Neurology, a study by the Harvard School of Public Health estimated that HBV immunization was associated with a 3-fold increase in incidence of MS within 3 years. (91)
The 2002 the 'Madsen study' of 537,304 children in Denmark concluded that there was no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. This study is cited by public health agencies around the world as definitive proof that MMR is safe. However in Autumn 2004, an article was published which contradicted these findings.The Madsen study monitored the progress of vaccinated children in Denmark for only four years. Dr Fouad Yazbak and Dr G S Goldman looked at the same data but over a longer period of time and found that prevalence of autism among children aged from 5 to 9 stood at 8.38 cases per 100,000 in the pre-vaccine years 1980 to 1986, and then rose to 71.43 cases by the year 2000. (92)(93)."

Pretty scary stuff.

I would rather drop out of school or quit my job than to have my body violated with something that has mercury, fetal cells and infectious organisms laced in it.

It's one thing to be infected with something when you eat it, or when you breathe it, your body is made to fight off something like that. But the second those things are injected into you, your body's natural defences are bypassed.

It consists of 3 separate shots, so I'd be getting the Thimersol (spelling?) with each one of them. [Frown]

I'll follow up with this info.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful replies!

Exactly!

..and the real kick in the pants is..

vaccines have never been medically proven to work.
They engage your immune system against these injected bacterium..
tieing it up with them long term (diseases with very low incidence rates, and many with high cure rates)..perhaps even confusing the immune fighters..
and then you get hit with an immune challanging condition (like Lyme) ..and you have impaired resources.
