Random Ramblings ...

Forced vaccination has been justified in the name of the "greater good" - at best a Machiavellian mindset that the ends justifies the means. Any harm that might be done by vaccination (because those who advocate forced vaccination rarely acknowledge that harm is done by vaccines) is over-ridden by the good of avoiding short-term infectious illness that seldom causes death or long-term adverse sequelae while resulting in long-term immunity (instead of the short-term risk reduction provided by vaccination - resulting in the "need" for repeated vaccination). 

Ultimately the issue of forced vaccination results from a naturalistic man (ie: human) centered worldview. What I find so bizarre about this is this type of thinking justifies abortion for the sake of individual freedom yet will also justify forcibly vaccinating masses of people, thus violating their personal autonomy and bodily integrity (interestingly, abortion does this to the unborn baby, and frequently enough to the woman herself). 

Just as odd is a man-centered worldview generally believes in evolution, not God-caused creation as described in the Bible. If one believes in evolution (where "creation" happened spontaneously from chaotic randomness) why would you want vaccination, forced or otherwise? Any death from an infectious illness would be the result of "natural selection"! 

The theory of herd immunity is also used as a justification for mandatory vaccination, and yet there is reason to question its efficacy. Pertussis is rapidly becoming a case-study for the questionable foundation of herd immunity as it keeps happening in highly vaccinated populations - populations that have achieved "herd immunity"! 

There are many adults who are not "UTD" (Up To Date) on their vaccinations - and yet there are neither frequent, nor severe outbreaks of "vaccine preventable" diseases in groups who are technically "under-vaccinated".

With vaccines being a source of ginormous growth and profit for the pharmaceutical industry (little risk, lots of reward as they are essentially liability free since 1986) there is tremendous conflict of interest embedded in those who are setting vaccine policy - lawmakers and others who work in or around the vaccine industry whore around in a fascist brothel. They have been pimping out children for years but now are no longer satisfied with the sickening profits that have been reaped with this group and have now moved on to adults. 

To whatever extent vaccines work there is no justification for forcing or manipulating or coercing people to use them. We are designed to live in freedom - including the freedom to decide what vaccines, if any, to receive. 

A little levity ... to make a point

Most are familiar with the phrase "If you didn't laugh, you'd cry" - today's post is sponsored by that thought. While it may provide a chuckle it effectively illustrates the reality that VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is widely believed to underreport vaccine related adverse events - so there is reason to believe that there are far more unintended and undesired effects of vaccines but we don't.really.know. 

Better, more reliable information would require studies comparing vaccinated with unvaccinated over the long term (ie: years) in order to capture an accurate picture of both the desired and undesired consequences of vaccination so people can decide if they want to accept or decline this intervention with a better information about the risk/benefit ratio. 

There is another interesting comparison in the meme - guns don't just take lives, they save them. But this too, is underreported as it does not fit the narrative favored by the MSM (much like the risks of vaccination do not fit the narrative or paradigm of those who favor vaccination so they go unstudied and unreported). 

I wish I had written this ...

The following link will take you to a long post on another site - but it is rich with theories and concepts that are worth considering. 

It deconstructs why vaccination may not be the best strategy for life-long health. The current paradigm of frequent vaccination from birth is based on comparing a newborn's immune system to an adults and deciding it is defective because it is different. The need for repeated frequent exposure to a vaccine is necessary because a baby's immune system is not yet able to respond the way an adult's does. This is not bad or wrong and in fact is evidence of design.

As always - you as a parent, or as an adult should determine what medical intervention (vaccination or otherwise) that you will accept or decline - and your freedom to do so should not be influenced by coercion or manipulation. I hope some day we return to an era of greater freedom where this is so. 

ER Nurses - frontlines of vaccine reactions?

A testimonial is not evidence - The language of academia may sometimes use the term "anecdotal evidence". Unusual presentations are written up as case reports for other clinicians to read and learn about a diagnosis or medical events that are sometimes referred to as "zebras", or atypical, not commonly seen but from which practitioners can glean insight. 

What follows was cut and pasted from a post on social media, and the writer is anonymous so none of this can be verified. We can only hope that this is a work of fiction given what the writer alleges. I attempted to locate a link to the source but was not able to do so. I asked the poster (who had cut/paste it from another site) to please provide a link to the source. If I am able to obtain a link to the origination of this quote I will provide it but this was not available at the time I posted this. 

If this is indeed real the phenomenon of adverse reactions to vaccines - reactions serious enough to cause people to seek assessment and care at a hospital - is hardly a "zebra".  

Original post by an ER nurse over at the None/Select/Delayed Vaccinations group over at the BabyCenter forums:

As an E.R. nurse, I have seen the cover up. Where do you think kids go when they have a vaccine reaction? They go to the E.R. They come to me. I cannot even begin to guess how many times over the years I have seen vaccine reactions come through my E.R. Without any exaggeration, it has to be counted in hundreds. Sometimes it seemed like it was one or two cases in a single shift, every shift, for weeks. Then I would get a lull, and I wouldn't catch one for a week or two, then I'd catch another case per night for a couple weeks. This was common.

Once, I was training a nursing student, about to graduate, on their E.R. experience rotation in nursing school. This student and I floated up to triage to cover the triage nurse for a break. I was quizzing them on what to ask and look for as a triage nurse on pediatric kids that came through. I made a point about asking about immunizations right out the gates. The student was puzzled, and asked why, and I told the student because we see vaccine reactions every day and its their job to catch it, alert the doctor and the parents, and report it to VAERS. Some higher power apparently smiled on my attempt to open the eyes of another nurse I guess, because not even ten minutes later, a woman brought her child up to the counter. Sudden onset super high fever and lethargy. I asked if the child was up to date on vaccination. The mother replied he had them just a few hours ago. I glanced at the student, who looked shocked and looked back at me in disbelief. I nodded, told them to remember this, and then took the mom and her child to finish the triage in back. When I was done I came back and sat down with the student, and asked what he learned that night so far. The first response: "What I was told about vaccines wasn't true". I couldn't have said it better. That student is going to go on to be like me, advocating for his patients with his eyes wide open.

The cases almost always presented similarly, and often no one else connected it. The child comes in with either a fever approaching 105, or seizures, or lethargy/can't wake up, or sudden overwhelming sickness, screaming that won't stop, spasms, GI inclusion, etc. And one of the first questions I would ask as triage nurse, was, are they current on their vaccinations? It's a safe question that nobody sees coming, and nobody understands the true impact of. Parents (and co-workers) usually just think I'm trying to rule out the vaccine preventable diseases, when in fact, I am looking to see how recently they were vaccinated to determine if this is a vaccine reaction. Too often I heard a parent say something akin to "Yes they are current, the pediatrician caught up their vaccines this morning during their check up, and the pediatrician said they were in perfect health!" If I had a dollar for every time I'd heard that, I could fly to Europe for free.

But here's the more disturbing part. For all the cases I've seen, I have NEVER seen any medical provider report them to VAERS. I have filed VAERS reports. But I am the ONLY nurse I have EVER met that files VAERS reports. I also have NEVER met a doctor that filed a VAERS report. Mind you, I have served in multiple hospitals across multiple states, alongside probably well over a hundred doctors and probably 300-400+ nurses. I've worked in big hospitals (San Francisco Bay Area Metro 40 bed ER, Las Vegas NV Metro 44 bed ER) and small hospitals (Rural access 2 bed ER, remote community 4 bed ER) and everything in between. When I say NEVER, I mean NEVER. I have even made a point of sitting in the most prominent spot at the nurses station filling out a VAERS report to make sure as many people saw me doing it as possible to generate the expected "what are you doing" responses to get that dialog going with people. And in every case, if a nurse approached me, their response was "I've never done that" or "i didn't know we could do that" or, worse "What is VAERS?" which was actually the most common response. The response from doctors? Silence. Absolute total refusal to engage in discussion or to even acknowledge what I was doing or what VAERS was.

The big take away from that? VAERS is WOEFULLY under reported. I am PROOF of that. The number one place parents bring their kids in the event of a vaccine reaction is the E.R., and as an E.R. staffer, I have NEVER met anyone who filed one, in spite of seeing hundreds of cases of obvious vaccine associated harm come through. What does that say about reported numbers? The CDC/HHS admits that VAERS is under-reported, and probably only representative of 1/10th the actual number of injuries. I contest that, and from personal experience, I would say the numbers in VAERS are more like 1/1000th the actual numbers, not 1/10th.

And the final part of that, is that I have, first hand, seen blatant cover ups from doctors. I have seen falsification of medical records and documentation via intentional omission. I have challenged doctors who refused to put in the chart that the child was vaccinated 4 hours ago and was in perfect health, and now suddenly they are non-responsive, seizing, febrile at 105, and that labs, LP, and imaging confirms cerebral edema/encephalitis. I reminded the doctor as they are writing their report that the child was vaccinated mere hours before. And at the end, there is total omission of this fact, and the physician pass-off notes state encephalitis of unknown origin. I ask the doctor if they will file a VAERS report, and they argue that this has nothing to do with it, its purely coincidental, and nothing should be filed, they are safe and effective. I remind them that VAERS is a reporting body for ANY symptoms that are contemporaneous to vaccination, whether causation is believed to be associated or not, and I get the dismissal that they are not filing it because it has nothing to do with it. No one brings it up to the parents. Its this giant rug-sweep that happens, and any mention of the vaccination is systematically removed or withheld from the record. A perfect example of this, was an ambulance crew that came in with a pass-off report that included the fact the child had been vaccinated only hours prior to onset of symptoms. The physician made sure this pass-off sheet disappeared mysteriously and could not get filed with the patient medical record. So yes, I have seen the vaccine damage cover up first hand. I know that it is intentional and active in the medical community. I know that it is happening. And on top of total denial of any association, and total cover up, they also refuse to report to VAERS which is supposed to be reported to for ANYTHING that is even in NO WAY SUSPECTED to be associated with the vaccine. This is a systemic suppression of information and statistics.

And yes, in the cases described above, I did approach the parents, and I did tell them about VAERS, and I did start a case for them and file a report. I did force the issue through my charting, although it will most likely be buried and overlooked. I have experienced the corruption and suppression of the truth in the medical community about vaccines first hand from the provider perspective. It does happen. Every day.

Life has risks - risks of not vaccinating, risks of vaccinating - we all must be willing to accept the consequences of the decisions we make and should be comfortable with the level of risk/benefit of whatever decision we make regarding vaccinating/not vaccinating - and our decision to do so should be free of coercion, manipulation, or pressure. 

Choice vs Control

"Those who demand control can't stand competition" (as heard on the Steve Deace radio show/podcast Nov 4, 2015); 

Much hay could be made with these words as they contain a great deal of truth applicable to many domains - though the focus of this blog is vaccines and the lack of personal freedom in medical decision-making regarding vaccination. 

I find the contrast rather stark - most who are labeled "anti-vaccine" are actually rather laissez faire  ... in other words, they do not demand control over others decisions regarding vaccination - and want only the same for themselves. Those who are branded "anti-vaccine" do not seek to prevent those who want to receive vaccinations from getting them - this is hardly an "anti-vaccine" attitude. Many who are characterized as "anti-vaccine" are willing to use vaccines selectively and simply want to decide, with their healthcare provider, which vaccines they (or their children) will, or will not, receive. 

Yet it seems that those who advocate for vaccination are not willing to tolerate anything except total, absolute compliance with any and all vaccines that are approved for use and recommended by a central committee (ACIP - Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) that is far removed from managing any adverse consequences of this medical procedure. 

Those who promote vaccination have been conducting an on-going legal jihad for decades. It began with the formation of a central committee dictating health policy on a national level that set the stage for state and local mandates and now is coming full circle with federal legislation being proposed to mandate vaccination (HR 2232). 

Vaccination - an idea so good people won't demand it of their own free will - or so the overlords fear. 

Such irony - The One Who truly is Lord of Lords and King of Kings (Jesus) is so supremely, and rightly, confident of His sovereignty and power (having proved it by rising physically from the dead) that He does not exert control over our free will (which He built into our design when He created us in the Garden of Eden). It is human rulers who refuse to acknowledge their accountability to The Sovereign God of the universe who grasp all the more tightly at controlling others in regards to vaccination (among many issues).  

Fully vaccinated? Healthy?

What do the terms "fully" or "completed" vaccinated mean? Increasingly, it seems the accurate meaning defining these terms is difficult to pin down, as a vaccinees receipt of a "safe and effective" vaccines does not render them "protected" unless 100% of everyone else receives the same "safe and effective" vaccine - which begs the question, just how effective (safety being an altogether different and separate issue) are vaccines? And if a person is vaccinated, for how long will their risk of that illness be reduced - and how long before they will need to be vaccinated yet again in order to maintain the risk reduction (I won't use the term "protection" as that would not be accurate since there are so many who are vaccinated who are getting ill - flu, pertussis, measles would be contemporary examples of this phenomenon). 

No matter how many times you've received a vaccine, the knee-jerk response to even 1 case of an illness for which a vaccine exists is - vaccinate everyone all over again. The need for new vaccines seems to be created by the fact that they've been invented, regardless of risk for the illness in question - and clearly there is no need to study the effect of repeated vaccination over time, let alone the receipt of multiple vaccines at one time - in either a pediatric or an adult population. 

There are currently more than 200 vaccines in development. The manufacturers of vaccines have no liability for their product and lobby politicians to legislate mandates and professional organizations to craft "guidelines" to further increase their profit. Once someone is vaccinated they will need to be re-vaccinated on a regular basis to maintain even a modest amount of risk reduction. Lots of upside, virtually no downside and built in repeat customers, for life - not a bad business model! 

The United States has the most highly vaccinated population in the world - and we have some of the highest rates of chronic disease as well - yet no one seems willing to consider that perhaps vaccinations (which can stimulate inflammation and chronic auto-immune responses) might be a variable in this. It isn't "science" to give a medical procedure a free pass as a variable in health (or lack thereof). It isn't "science" to define health as narrowly as "absence of episodic, temporary infectious disease from which most people recover without complications". Yet we have defined "health" in this manner while it is quite clear that a great many of us are not healthy! It isn't "science" to refuse to compare the health of the vaccinated with the health of the unvaccinated (defined as those who have never received any vaccines - not just not receiving the vaccine or vaccines in question). It isn't "science" to use another vaccine as a "placebo" rather than using a biologically inert substance (like saline). It isn't "science" to re-define the criteria for a case of a disease (the criteria for polio changed not long after the vaccine was released, and **poof** the incidence/prevalence of polio declined precipitously - what a coincidence)! There may not be much "polio" in places that use the oral polio vaccine, but how odd that there is a significant amount of "Acute Flaccid Paralysis"! 

It is impossible to eliminate all risk in life - including risk of infectious disease. People should be free to decide what risk they want to live with - risk of vaccination or risk of not being vaccinated. 

Will you be there? Oct 23-25, 2015 Rally for Truth, Transparency, and Freedom

The blogosphere is a big place, so while I see the numbers indicating I have visitors and readers of my particular part of it, I rarely interact with you. I'm hoping I may get to meet even 1 reader of VaccineDepot at the Rally for Truth, Transparency, and Freedom the weekend of Oct 23 - 35th in Atlanta, GA. It's being organized by http://www.cdctruth.org/. 

It begins with a Rally on Friday (at the CDC - 1600 Clifton Road Atlanta GA, right next to Emory University), continues with an impressive line-up of speakers on Saturday at Grant Park (840 Cherokee Road SE Atlanta GA), and concludes on Sunday, again in Grant Park with a prayer gathering. 

Truth, transparency, and freedom are reasonable things to expect from our public servants. It's a pity we've reached the place where it is necessary to hold demonstrations supporting these basic concepts - I hope you'll join me, and many others as we do what we can to hold our public servants accountable for the manner in which they have carried out their service to their fellow citizens.
