The attacks on September 11^th and the threat of possible biological terrorism have prompted public health officials to prepare mass vaccination campaigns against smallpox and anthrax for all citizens. Proposed state legislation, the Emergency Health Powers Act, would permit forced vaccinations, criminalize the refusal of medical treatment, seize private property, and other such suspension of our civil rights, with total legal immunity for all vaccine-induced injuries and deaths. A bill such as this was just passed in Wisconsin, where refusal to comply will result in imprisonment of 9 months and/or a $10,000 fine. This reality is not easy to countenance, but in order to make choices and to have a say in the matter, we need to become educated on this issue. The safety and efficacy of vaccination have been questioned for over a century, but never with such immediacy.

Vaccinations are suspensions of infectious agents used to artificially induce immunity against specific diseases. Although they are said to produce a milder and shorter-lived form of the disease often with no apparent reaction, studies show the range of adverse effects and residual damage to be more frequent and chronic than has been publicly known.

Childhood diseases produce lifelong immunity: Vaccines only several years. Dosages are the same for an 9 lb infant or a 40 lb 5-year old. Interestingly in the case of the smallpox vaccine the U.S. has stockpiled, 50 million doses, they say can actually be diluted by 5 times, making 250 million doses. Does that mean that in the past we were given 5 times more vaccine than necessary? Injecting live virus directly into the bloodstream is unnatural, as disease usually enters through the respiratory or digestive system, where the body's defenses are stronger.

We assume vaccines to be safe and effective and we unquestioningly allow our children 37 inoculations of 11 live virus and killed bacteria, some of which are given within 24 hours of life. They are compulsory in most states before a child can enter public school. Between 1991 and 1993, 38,787 adverse events were reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). Since it is amply documented that only 10% of adverse events are ever reported, and it cannot be proven how much illness occurs long after vaccination, it is clear why adverse reactions are largely unknown to the public. It shouldn't be surprising that physicians, with their continued exposure to infectious disease, are the group least likely to take vaccinations for themselves OR their families, even as they vaccinate others, with obstetricians and pediatricians in the lead.

Records show diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough decreased 95% before mass immunization programs started in the U.S. In the UK, childhood diseases decreased 90% with improved sanitation, and the polio epidemic peaked in 1950 and had declined 82% when the vaccine was introduced there in 1956. Futhermore, Japan's 29,979 deaths from smallpox had all been vaccinated, likewise 8 million in the Philippines and 90% of the 1200 pertussis cases in Utah.

American children received only DPT, polio, measles, and rubella vaccines in 1971, when smallpox inoculation was halted. Today, add pertussis, mumps, influenza B, hepatitis B, chicken pox and pneumococcal vaccines. With these vaccines containing live virus and bacteria, IgE allergy factors, mercury, aluminum, genetic engineering and whatever the donor animal had in its tissue, some are questioning whether it is a coincidence that numbers of Americans suffering autoimmune, neurological disorders, and brain damage have increased significantly? Asthma, multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, and ADD/ADHD have doubled, diabetes tripled, and autism has increased 200-600%. Medical science has not found the cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which usually occurs within several weeks of inoculation.

The Cayce readings say vaccinations turn poisons loose into the system (Reading 5566-3), and that they would further debilitate a fragile immune system, particularly multiple vaccines. In some readings he said they weren't necessary. He suggested cleansing the liver and the lymphatic system before allowing vaccination. In his book, Every Second Child (1981), Dr. Kalokerinos, M.D. reported that when he administered DPT to aboriginal children in Australia, 50% died within several days. After immune system strengthening with Vitamin C, no further children died. Dr. Harris Coulter found that when the following vitamin regimen was used on the day before, the day of, and the day after giving DPT's, there were no further deaths: 1,000mg vitamin C, 500mg calcium, 50mg B-Complex.

We often don't question what we hear on the news, what doctors, corporations or public officials tell us, or the way things have always been done. We trust these authorities to be experts, to know best and to be telling the truth. Is it possible that we have been naïve? There's a lot of money to be made from vaccination. And, politically, it may go further than that.

Now, tomorrow is here." v
