Can anyone refute what this website is saying ?

Just the name of the site has me a bit concerned about its impartiality.. I am wondering if there is any truth at all in the claims it is making.

Approximately 1/3 of Doctors Refuse Vaccinations, yet . . .

Exposure to illness is an occupational hazard for the medical community. Doctors are among the highest risk population groups and most hospitals and practices make it mandatory for physicians to be vaccinated. Researcher and author Neil Z. Miller reports that approximately 66% of pediatricians and obstetricians refused the MMR shot in one study.[1] An equal percentage of doctors refused the Hepatitis B shot, mostly citing safety concerns because of rumors of animal DNA contamination in the shots.[2] The American Medical Association's (AMA) Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine cite a 1994 study where approximately 1/3 of doctors were working without mandatory flu vaccines.[3] Yet the doctors blindly follow national recommendations to vaccinate every child they can round up (sometimes with as many as five vaccines in one visit).
 

Fact #2:

Vaccine Failures are Well Documented, yet . . .

The AMA reported that “measles is increasingly becoming a disease of adults,” admitting that the demographics of this typically childhood disease are shifting to adults as vaccines wear off too early.[4] Almost all childhood illnesses are deemed much more dangerous in adults. Mumps and rubella are also being reported to be shifting toward older children and adults. During epidemics, measles has been known to attack nearly 100% vaccinated populations.[5] Similar statistics have been seen during mumps outbreaks. Rubella, which is very innocuous in childhood, is now threatening women of child-bearing age (the very group the shot was supposed to protect to prevent birth defects).[6] After nearly 55 years of medical hoopla, the Centers for Disease Control reports that pertussis is at the highest levels since 1967. [7] Constant (and profitable) boosters are now the government’s only solution for shortsightedly disrupting the natural course of childhood illnesses. Yet, the policymakers are never apologetic.
 

Fact #3

Vaccine Efficacy is Often Misreported, yet . . .

The medical establishment has always maintained that there is no ethical way to study vaccine efficacy in a random, double-blind environment because of ethical implications. Efficacy is thus measured by blood antibody counts for a particular vaccine. As fact #2 shows with regard to measles in vaccinated populations, antibody titers are extremely unreliable predictors of whether a vaccinated child will contract a disease. Based on the antibody titer logic, the whole-cell pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine, the only product available in the U.S. until recently, was deemed 85 to 90% effective by the U.S. medical community.[8] When the same product was recently tested in Sweden and Italy during a U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) funded study, the vaccine proved only 48 and 36% effective respectively.[9] Searching for a smokescreen, the CDC immediately hailed the newer acellular vaccine as being a safer, more effective product (they had initially blasted this Japanese product as being ineffective, but constant bad press about the safety of whole-cell vaccines changed their minds -- and statistics).

The government’s excuse for the miserable efficacy rates was that the kids in the study only got three shots, while American kids get additional boosters at 18 months and 4-6 years. Let’s see, pertussis is most dangerous for children under one, who get 3 shots (at 2, 4, and 6 months). Maybe the pertussis bacterium avoids infants fearing those upcoming boosters! As if that wasn’t absurd enough, the same official explained that the low efficacy of the vaccine can partially be attributed to the fact that both Sweden and Italy were in the middle of epidemics during the studies. Huh? You mean the product is 85-90% effective unless it comes in contact with the disease, at which point it fails 64% of the time? Yet, the medical community continues to give these products credit for eliminating infectious diseases.
 

Fact #4

Vaccines Kill and Maim Regularly, yet...

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), established in 1986, has paid out over $1 billion in injury awards to date. Thousands of cases are pending, stuck in the federal bureaucracy.[10] This despite the fact that HHS Secretary Donna Shalala recently narrowed the definition of vaccine injury so critically that only immediate and severe reactions can now qualify.[11] Seizure disorders, brain damage, ataxia, aseptic meningitis, paralysis, learning difficulties, and death, that typically occur many days or weeks following these vaccines are now all excluded. And here’s the cherry on top: since doctors have little incentive to report themselves to a passive reporting system like the government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), former FDA Director David Kessler once admitted that only 10% of vaccine injury cases are ever reported.[12] So the injuries can even conservatively amount to tens of thousands of children every year, while doctors continue to diagnose and treat mysterious new illnesses and maintain the “one in a million” adverse reaction myth taught in med schools (Hint: no drug is that safe).

Actually, the physicians’ creed, instead of, “First, do no harm,” might as well be, “First, deny causal relationship.” Not that a causal relationship matters either. The prestigious and supposedly independent Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported after a thorough review in 1991 that a causal relationship did exist between acute encephalopathy (brain inflammation) and the DPT shot.[13] They also found a causal relationship between the MMR shot and chronic arthritis in women. Yet, they did the obvious when it comes to pampering pharmaceutical giants -- they recommended continuing the suspect products and suggested “further study” (translation: maintain profitable and deceptive status quo).
 

Fact #5

Vaccines are Not Tested for Long-Term Safety, yet...

After years of controversy the CDC finally admitted in 1996 that the polio vaccine used on millions in the 1950s may have contained the SV-40 monkey retrovirus (which causes cancer in laboratory animals). [14] Of course, they went on to deny that there is any, you guessed it, “causal relationship” between contaminated vaccines and the dramatic increases in many diseases like cancer, chronic fatigue, learning disorders, epilepsy, juvenile diabetes, etc.

The sad fact for the consumer is that vaccines will never be reliably implicated in diseases occurring years or even decades after a shot. Drug companies hardly have the incentive to provide researchers with multi-million dollar grants and risk being held responsible for altering the global gene pool. Vaccine inserts always warn that the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of the products has not been tested. Forced into our children’s bloodstreams without the benefit of the natural defense our organs mount, horse, cow, chicken, monkey, rabbit or even worse, lab-engineered, DNA can have consequences that no scientist can predict with our limited knowledge of the human immune system. (Add to this diseased or lab-created tissue all the adjuvants and stabilizers like formaldehyde, antibiotics, aluminum salts and thimerosal -- a mercury derivative -- and you have a truly toxic witch’s brew).

The new breed of chronic illnesses are too profitable for the medical community to sweat over their mysterious causes. While more virulent and drug-resistant forms of infectious diseases manifest themselves, researchers are getting a cold shoulder from the government for discovering potential problems with old and new vaccines.[15] Emerging research into vaccine links to diabetes, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and many crippling autoimmune disorders seems to indicate that the chronic effects of these products can linger undetected for years (generations?) only to explode into our systems later. Chronic diseases are increasing at a staggering rate in the West. Many like Type 1 diabetes, asthma and certain cancers have increased three- to five-fold over the last 50 years. The reasons remain obscure and unresearched as the scientists "speculate" on the causes. We are in a short-sighted world which, in pursuit of a quick buck, shows little concern for contaminating our species with foreign proteins which can permanently alter or even incapacitate our future generations. Yet, we keep bowing to a system whose chief motive is simply profit. We are unsuspectingly handing people our hard earned money so they can sell us a product that has been suspect since its inception -- ineffective, unsafe, and potentially a threat to the survival of our species.

Thanks .. While it may be good information. I don't like the fact that fundamentalists (The web site in question) Are pushing it..........  Like all Fundy's messages or information.. The core may be correct but been twisted to fit their viewpoint..

Mehh.. once again.. Thanks for the followup information and links :)

Wolfmanjack,I am a doctor and you accussed anyone that refused to Vaccines of some kind of Bibile wierd o's. I am not a Bible wirad O and I do recommend that kids  their baby shots. But I do not recommend that any one gets a shot that some room full of Bible hating widerd o's recommend.Also I can not call your above statements as incorrect. I do believe in God(just for the record). Johnray1

I am concerned about the information of these links versus the info about the worldwide deaths under the age of five from vaccine preventable diseases.I'll have to relook the source up but I remember there were 6 million children globally who died each year from lack of vaccines. MC do you have that source?

The source is very important. For one reason, it could be the people who manufacture the vaccines or the industry who makes a great deal of money from giving them.

You have mentioned Dengue Fever. It is currently Pandemic. Recently while researching I came across an outbreak in the last month or so in Brazil

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/03/world/main3992163.shtml

"We have to enter into combat like we're fighting a war, to minimize the suffering of the population," said field hospital commander Maj. Roberto Tury.

Rio de Janeiro state, home to 16 million people, has seen more than 45,000 cases of dengue since January, compared to 25,107 cases in all of 2007, officials say. Fifty four people have died in the state this year, while more than 60 reported deaths are under investigation.

The essential question here is not the use of vaccines if they are effective and if they are safe, it is how effective they are and how well tested they are before giving one hundred million people a shot of something which is not sufficiently human trial tested.

As JohnRay M.D. said, basically he has his children vaccinated, but the use of vaccine which has not gone through some stringent testing, is unwise. The one company we have communicated with, among others, Novavax- is using a synthetic particle and cellular technolgoy to create and manufacture the vaccine. First extensive testing must be done to be sure humans do not basically have problems with the particle- basically allergies- or even some type of unusual problems. When we created artificial blood cells, we found that they were doing tissue damage, because even though they could do the oxygen exchange they were just too hard and were tearing the tissue.

So in developing a vaccine with synthetic virus, it will be going through the blood stream, it will have unique properties and we do not know how the immune system will react to it. There have been studies using this technology in India, and it appears to be working. Already human trials of the tech. Yet while other companies have realized egg versus cell is no good for time and speed, Baxter notoriously had live virus in a shipment sent to Poland and surrounding companies. This is unheard of generally in a vaccine. Baxter is currently developing lion's share of the novel Influenza A vaccine.

Giving a person a shot with live virus instead of weakened or dead virus is the equivalent of infecting them with the disease with at least an IM injection of the pathogen. Docs on here correct me if I am wrong about this.
This is the same company that is making 60,000,000 doses of what we are about to inject into our children and ourserves.

Concerned? Yes, a little. A befuddled we don't know how a substance that is not even supposed to be on the premises winds up in the vaccine does not inspire confidence. But it did not phase 60,000,000 pre-paid orders from many countries.

A very simple concept but important is that if they worked, and some of us are actively researching what we call wide-spectrum anti-virals- this would be akin to wide-spectrum antibiotic. If I were to go to NIH or especially FDA, and head up to a lab in New York and say- I am going to make a vaccine for H1N1 Influenza A- with 2 parts pig- one part maybe of Avian and one part human- It would take a year at least to get the okay- do the paperwork for human trials, do the paperwork for submission of the research grant in 3 phases, and then finally after years of human trials- be allowed to sell the drug, have a product.

This is enough reading for one post. Those of us in the health care and research industry are asking the kind of questions we are asked when we submit for grants or research projects to NIH or any health organization. Fast tracking is a concept widely used in the development of urgently needed technology. No matter how urgent the need for this one, or the vaccine, we must proceed with precise  and quality controlled research, development, and testing for effectiveness and above all - safety.

I can look at ingredients and not like them... or be afraid.  But this is a very personal choice.  Parents love their children, some will feel very safe having Vac's available...some will not want it.  Parents need to decide with informed consent.  How safe is it?  Talk to your child's Doctor, read the insert.  Say No to multi-dose vials.  Ask your school ....now.... for a PTA meeting on Vaccinations and school closings.  Know ....  Before school starts.  Ask the school... what is the game plan?  Call...write.... put a letter in your local paper.... address other parents.  Keep talking... asking.
