However, with more investigation increasing numbers of parents are discovering that nature is not so cruel as to force such a difficult dilemma on them. The full reality is that not only do childhood illnesses (provided they are properly managed) have a priming and maturing role in immune system development rather than being dangerous to unvaccinated children[1], but also vaccines have never prevented any diseases. Other factors have clearly been responsible for the declines that have occurred, and the very toxic and invasive nature of vaccines that causes the observed adverse effects also makes them counterproductive for their very purpose of protecting against diseases.

Rather than discussing the statistical evidence, false assumptions and misinterpretations relating to the myth of vaccination effectiveness, which are covered by various books and Web sites, what is far less widely known, and what I will cover here, is the actual effect that vaccines have on the immune system, which causes them to be counterproductive.

I must give credit for my awareness of this to Dr. Viera Scheibner, who is arguably unsurpassed in her width of knowledge and depth of understanding of the vaccination issue, having studied over 100,000 pages of medical research on the subject. Having worked closely with her over a number of years, I have read much of the most revealing research that she has uncovered.

There are two main causes of the problem: the toxic nature of the ingredients in vaccines and the invasive form of delivery.

Ingredients, the Injection Process and the Result

The Vaccination Information Service General Brochure (PDF) summarizes the subject and starts with a list of the ingredients in vaccines, discussed in more detail at Vaccine Ingredients. In respect to these, first there are those that are poisonous by their very nature regardless of how they are administered such as formaldehyde, mercury, aluminum compounds, phenol, acetone and antifreeze. It is well established that such poisons, even on their own, are immune system SENSITISERS. This means they make the immune system more sensitive, or less able to cope appropriately with foreign substances that it encounters.

Then there are other ingredients such as animal organ tissue and blood that our bodies would not have a problem with IF they entered the body orally because our digestive system breaks down foreign proteins, unusable in that form, into their constituent amino acids, which are then absorbable and useable by the body.

However, our immune systems have not been designed to deal with foreign proteins being injected. In fact the injection of any foreign substance is well known to suppress the proper functioning of the immune system[2], and vaccination is no exception[3].

Effects

The immune system becomes derailed and confused, and often even when these proteins subsequently are encountered by a natural portal of entry (e.g. through the digestive system or lungs), the immune system reacts. This of course is what is known as an allergic response. One manifestation of this, asthma, kills over 10,000 people annually in the United States.

Other effects include more serious "atypical" forms of the targeted diseases[4] and a reversed ratio of T4 and T8 cells[5] that characterizes a host of modern immunodeficiencies including autoimmune diseases, cancer (now in the young), chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS. All of these conditions were unknown before the vaccination era. (See accompanying brochure for a more complete list of vaccination effects.)

Bypassing Vital Defenses

Another problem with the injection process in respect to any viruses and bacteria that are being administered is that very important outer levels of defense are bypassed, giving them deep access into the body to cause damage. Hence, for example, the now well known finding of the vaccine strain of the measles virus in the gut of a significant proportion of autistic children.

It has also been found that animal, bacterial and viral DNA, when injected, can be incorporated into the recipient’s DNA[6]. No wonder vaccination has been linked to cancer, particularly considering vaccine ingredients even include animal cancer cells (used for the culturing of viruses because they continue to multiply).

Some Babies Just Cannot Cope

Some babies lose the battle against the invasive toxic assault of vaccination in hours, days or weeks. If the parents are "lucky" it is diagnosed as cot death, or if an organ fails it is classified simply as failure of that organ (e.g. kidney failure). However, if injuries such as subdural hematomas or retinal haemorrhages are found, the parents (or other care-giver) find themselves falsely accused of murder in the form of "shaken baby" syndrome.

Vaccine-Induced Antibodies Do NOT Indicate Immunity

What causes confusion to many medical doctors is that part of the sensitisation reaction to vaccination is the production of antibodies. This is falsely equated with the opposite, intended effect, which is to bring immunity. The aluminium compounds are even included for this very purpose (as "adjuvants") to artificially force the production of a significant number of virus-specific IgG antibodies, because the immune system does not naturally produce them (in significant levels) on demand by injections[7].

However, the IgG antibodies thus produced only show that there has been exposure to that virus. Their presence does not mean immunity. The secretory IgA antibody, which does NOT get produced by injections because injections bypass the outer level processes of the immune system, has been found to be a far better measure of immunity[8].

This is why contracting tetanus, the well known way being by a deep puncture wound, which is just like an injection, does not bring immunity. The result is even said to be "sensitisation" to tetanus in the future. Immunity can develop, however, if the bacteria enter via the natural portals of entry, often without the person even being ill with it. When it comes in through the natural portals of entry it is also in its aerobic form, which does not produce the neurotoxins that cause the characteristic tetanus symptoms such as locked jaw and tetanic spasms.

Recently (as of 16/7/2004), a woman with a PhD in immunology confessed that she was not in favour of vaccination. When asked why, she said "Well, looking at serum through the microscope I could see that the antibodies went right past the vaccine-injected antigens as if they weren't even there." When she was then asked, "Would you be willing to put that in writing?" she replied, "No, I would lose my job."

However researchers of the immune system researchers have indeed admitted in writing something almost as definite as this. In an article in New Scientist magazine, 27 May 2000, page 17 ("Behind the Magic") we are told the following: "The assumption that… vaccines work by simply producing antibodies is almost certainly wrong", quoting Neal Nathanson, director of the US Office of AIDS Research, and that "basic ignorance of how ('successful' vaccines) work is stalling the urgent quest for an AIDS vaccine, claim leading HIV researchers".

The article goes on to say that the studies by Ron Montelaro of the University of Pittsburgh "of a HIV-related virus that infects horses, known as the equine infectious anaemia virus, appears to confirm that the antibodies which initially respond to an infection can help spread the viruses around the body. Some vaccines designed to protect horses from infection make them die more quickly than unvaccinated horses, he found... Montelaro suggests that these early enhancing antibodies actually help pull virus particles into the cells they are trying to infect. 'It's an issue people haven't wanted to think about. But we might have to,' he says."

Variations in Effects Occur, but No-one Benefits

The fact that some children do not have noticeable adverse effects to vaccination does not mean that for them the procedure is beneficial, it is just that we have great variations in:

1. level, type and time of manifestation of susceptibility between individuals, and
2. levels of toxins between vaccine batches--there is a lack of control of toxicity levels

The effects are also accumulative, so a child who reacts very little, if at all, after one dose could be badly affected, even killed, by a subsequent dose.

Summary

Vaccination does nothing clever. With all of its good intent it just ends up being an injection of a large variety of different kinds of poisons deep into the body. The effect is an increase, not decrease, in susceptibility to the very disease it is trying to prevent; a host of immune system problems and damage to any organ or system. Even its purpose is unwanted interference--an attempt to prevent diseases that have an important role in immune system development.
