Information on Vaccination in the UK
If you have a small child you will probably soon be
told by your health visitor or GP that it’s time to vaccinate him or her. Both
will probably tell you that vaccines are safe and that all the studies carried
out have proven their safety. And you might wonder if this is really true.
Maybe you remember your own childhood when you had measles, mumps, rubella,
chickenpox. Or maybe you just wonder why it is that some of the ingredients in
vaccines are considered safe in vaccines when they are considered highly
poisonous otherwise, such as thimerosal, a mercury derivative, formaldehyde,
henoxyethanol (antifreeze) to name but a few. If you are a vegetarian, you may
wonder which vaccines contain animal ingredients (see lists of ingredients),
or, if you follow beliefs that do not support abortion, you may wonder if any
vaccines contain aborted fetal tissue. GPs have recently been encouraged by the
government to push the MMR vaccine even more, following the Prime Minister’s
refusal to state whether his youngest son Leo was vaccinated against MMR. This
brochure will provide you with some information which many doctors are highly
unlikely to give you.
Let’s start with the recommended vaccination schedule
in the UK.
The recommended vaccination schedule for infants and
children is as follows (verified with NHS direct, Tel. 0845-4647 on March 1st,
2002 and by on-line inquiry on April 6th, 2002):
2 months DPT + polio + HIB, Men C
3 months DPT + polio + HIB, Men C
4 months DPT + polio + HIB, Men C
12-15 months MMR
3-5 years pre-school booster (Dip. Tet + Polio) &
booster MMR
10-14 yrs BCG (skin test, possibly followed by
vaccine)
13-18 yrs diphtheria, tetanus, polio oral
NHS Direct was not able to state whether the live or
inactive polio vaccine is currently used, but said that both are recommended.
Below, you will find a list of ingredients for each
recommended vaccine:
DPT
Aluminum phosphate, formaldehyde, ammonium sulfate,
washed sheep red blood cells, glycerol, sodium chloride, thimerosal
Polio
IPOL: 3 types of polio virus, formaldehyde,
henoxyethanol (antifreeze), neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B; Orimune: using
3 types of attenuated polioviruses, streptomycin, neomycin, calf serum,
sorbitol
HIB
polyribosylribitol, ammonium sulfate, thimerosal
Men C
thimerosal, lactose
MMR vaccine
sorbitol, neomycin, hydrolyzed gelatin
BCG
glycerin, asparagine, citric acid, potassium
phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and iron ammonium citrate. The final preparation
prior to freeze drying also contains lactose.
(For more information on single measles, mumps and
rubella vaccines see below)
You may want to know other things about the vaccines,
such as:
What are these vaccines grown on?
DPT: porcine pancreatic hydrolysate of casein (pig)
Polio: Ipol: VERO cells, a continuous line of monkey
kidney cells; Orimune: monkey kidney cell culture
HIB: chemically defined, yeast based
Men C: freeze dried polysaccharride antigens from
Neisseria Meningitidis
MMR: M and M: chick embryo; R: human diploid cells
BCG: live mycobacteria
Which adjuvants are used?
The most common adjuvants are aluminium hydroxide,
aluminium phosphate and calcium phosphate. A number of other adjuvants based on
oil emulsions, products from bacteria (their synthetic derivatives as well as
liposomes) or gram-negative bacteria, endotoxins, cholesterol, fatty acids,
aliphatic amines, paraffinic and vegetable oils are also used.
What is an adjuvant?
A substance added to a vaccine to improve the immune
response so that less vaccine is needed to produce a nonspecific stimulator of
the immune response.
What are ‘human diploid cells’?
Fetal tissue – possibly from aborted fetuses
Which vaccines are grown on human diploid cells?
IPV (injectable polio), hepatitis A vaccine, Varicella
(chicken pox vaccine), rubella vaccine, single measles vaccine, & rabies
vaccine
What is an encephalitic cry?
An encephalitic cry is a high pitched, piercing cry.
Can this be caused by a vaccine?
Yes – one common cause is the DPT - it can happen any
time between hours and a number of days after the vaccine was given
You may wonder about other things, such as:
What studies have been carried out to prove that mercury, aluminium,
formaldehyde, carbolic acid, etc. are safe for injecting into the human body?
Why is it that every medication is adjusted for
weight/age but vaccines given to a newborn 3kg baby are exactly the same as
vaccines administered to a 7 year old 25 kg child? And why are some adult
vaccines half the potency of the child version of the vaccine (eg CDT and ADT)?
Does your GP report adverse reactions to vaccines when they are reported by
parents?
Is your GP aware that less than 10% of reactions are
reported by doctors and if so, does it concern him or her that our safety statistics are at least 90% incorrect?
What about the risk to children who have food
allergies such as egg and milk? Is there an increased risk the child could develop
further allergies?
Do any of
the inserts specifically say that children with eczema, or a family history of
eczema should avoid future vaccinations?
How many
adverse vaccine reactions has your GP witnessed personally or has had reported
by the parent/s?
How many adverse vaccine effects has your GP reported to the proper
authorities?
Here in the UK, the MMR debate has also led to the question whether the single
measles, mumps and rubella vaccines are safer.
Here are
the ingredients:
Measles
vaccine: min. of 1000 TCID50
measles virus, modified gelatin, lactalbumin hydrolisate, d-sorbitol, lactose
Mumps: neomycin,
sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, grown on human diploid cells
Rubella:
neomycin, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, grown on human diploid cells
How many
people contract measles in any given year, and how many of those are not
vaccinated?
In 2001,
the number of measles cases reported in the UK was 2,307, out of which 1808
were tested in laboratories. The total amount of tested, confirmed cases of
measles was 31 out of the tested cases. Unfortunately, no numbers are available
for vaccinated/ unvaccinated cases.
Did you
know that your GP has a financial interest in vaccinating your child? If 70% of
the children who are registered with your GP get vaccinated, he/she gets a
bonus payment, which will increase substantially if 90% of the children on his
register get vaccinated!
Also
consider that your doctor should ask you the following questions:
a Did you have vaccines while you were
pregnant
b Did you have any dental work carried out
while pregnant
c How many mercury fillings are in your
mouth?
d Do you have any root canals?
e Are there any allergies in your or your
partner’s family?
Following
are some myths, questions and answers that may be of interest to you,
especially as any doctor is highly likely to give different answers. However,
you are strongly encouraged to do your own research and then decide for
yourself.
Q: Do vaccines prevent diseases?
A: No. Firstly, a vaccine does not give
true immunity. Secondly, even the NHS admits that the polio vaccine (IPV) does
not prevent you from catching polio. Furthermore, vaccines contain a cocktail
of highly poisonous ingredients. If you forced these poisons into someone you
would quite likely be prosecuted for attempted murder.
Q: The risks of severe reaction/damage is low.
A:
The risks of severe reaction are much higher than any pharmaceutical
company or government will admit. Even the CDC (Center for Disease Control in
the USA) admit that only 10% at most of all adverse reactions are reported. But
the US program VAERS alone has paid out more than $1.1 billion in compensation
since it was founded in 1989. In the US, an additional tax is added to
vaccines, the amount of which depends on the likelihood of adverse reaction.
This reaches from $0.75 for single measles and mumps vaccines to $3 for the
DTaP/HIB shot.
Q: Is there such a thing as immunity
to a disease?
A: Yes, although this is not the case for every
single disease! If you catch measles you are highly likely to be completely
immune to it, the same goes for chickenpox and mumps. But you can only gain true
immunity after you contract these diseases yourself, in their acute form, NOT
the vaccination.
Q: How does exposure to germs, spreading the
cold or flu, fit in here?
A: Colds and flu have so many different
strains that although it is quite possible that you might become immune to one
particular strain of flu, there are many, many more strains of colds and flu
which you can still contract.
If you want
to write to your GP, below is a sample letter of what you could write:
Dear GP
As a parent
who has looked into the subject of vaccination, I have come across a great deal
of information which I feel may be of interest to you. I realise, due to your
workload, that it is not easy to research certain issues in much depth, and
that much of the time you have to rely on Dept of Health guidelines. The
following points may assist you and perhaps widen your knowledge on the
subject, and should also give you an understanding into why I have come to
question this procedure [List the points which are important to you here].
Yours......
Something
else that might make you wonder...
Alan Yurko,
of Florida, USA was arrested shortly after his baby son died in hospital. His
son Alan had received the DTaP shot ten days before he died. Alan was
vaccinated despite several contra-indications. He was a premature baby weighing
only 5lb 9oz at birth. His wife’s pregnancy was complicated with maternal
gestational diabetes, and group B streptococcal infection (which in itself
poses a high risk of infant death). His son had suffered from pneumonia,
respiratory distress syndrome, and hyper- bilirubinemia. Despite all of this he
was given a cocktail of vaccines at eight weeks of age.
The day after he was vaccinated, baby Alan developed a fever and started to
fuss. Ten days later he elicited a high pitched scream. His parents were told
to expect this and not to worry. A couple of days later he stopped breathing.
Mr Yurko rushed Alan to the hospital where he died. Because they could not
explain his injuries, and because Mr Yurko was the last adult alone with him,
he was charged with aggravated child abuse and first degree murder. They could
not afford counsel, so his lawyers were public defenders.
Mrs Yurko adamantly refused to help the prosecution to fabricate false
evidence. She was charged as an accessory to murder and their 4 year old
daughter was placed in extended custody. Here, she was sexually battered and
molested when her ‘protectors’ left her unsupervised with two boys who had a
history of deviant behaviour. Mrs Yurko’s charges were dismissed after great
effort and cost and their daughter was returned. They both fight every day to
bring their family together and have been fighting since 1997.
Recently they discovered that one of the vaccines given to baby Alan - DTAP -
was from a batch of vaccines that stands as the number one ranking in deaths,
the number one ranking in non-recoveries, and the fourth ranking in total
events reported. DTAP 7H81507, which was given to Alan was a Hot Lot.
Mr Yurko is serving a life sentence in Florida without the possibility of
parole. His son’s death was the result of the medical treatment he received and
a fatal reaction to his childhood immunisations.
Since his
conviction, he has rallied the support of scientists, doctors, and
organisations which support his innocence. Doctors and scientists from 15
countries, including the US, have stood up to support him. Numerous reports
from experts whom after record review have declared his innocence.
Many reports by independent scientists can be found at
www.freeyurko.bizland.com. The report by Drs Harold E Buttram and F Edward
Yazbak represents nearly 2,000 hours of review and research of the case.
Other groups and organisations involved in health freedom and awareness are
taking a stand to help show this injustice and maybe prevent it from happening
to others. There are many other families, like the Yurkos, who are being
destroyed. You may have heard of Sally Clark, who is in a UK jail for the same
reason as Alan.
