TOPEKA, Kan. - Stormont-Vail HealthCare CEO Randy Peterson has a hospital filled with doctors who could tell him the dangers of the pertussis outbreak in recent years.

But it was the message from his daughter Megan in Manhattan, who is expecting her first child, that he heard most loud and clear. "It was pretty much, 'If you want to see your new granddaughter you will get this vaccination!'" Peterson said.

Judge Says Constitution Doesn't Exempt Religious from Vaccination Requirements

A federal district judge in Brooklyn rules that a New York City policy of keeping non-vaccinated children out of school during exposure risk does not violate constitutional rights.

Immunization rates among school-aged children have dropped significantly in the last two decades. The decline is directly attributable to the misguided fears about the safety of vaccinations, a belief started by thoroughly debunked research which linked vaccines to the rise in autism. Schools have always required children to be up to date on their vaccinations when enrolling. Exemptions are allowed for those with documented medical reasons, as well as religious beliefs. While these exemptions are still rare, the increase in religious (and in some states personal belief) exemptions have led to a precipitous decline in vaccinated children. It has also led to a public health crisis of major outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases.

Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries

The last report issued in 2013 by the Department of Justice Vaccine Court, for compensation made by the Health and Human Services for people injured or killed by vaccines, was released in December 2013, covering the period of 8/16/2013 through 11/15/2013.

The report is available as a Power Point presentation here. There were 139 claims settled during this time period, with 70 of them being compensated. So, just over 50% of the claims filed for vaccine damages were compensated during this period. Once again, the greatest percentage of damages compensated were for the influenza vaccine, and most of those were for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Yet these facts, tucked away in a file on the Department of Health and Human Services website, are never reported in the mainstream media.

Study Finds CDC Cover-Up of Link Between Autism and Mercury In Vaccines. A recent study finds the CDC may have covered up the clear and present danger associated with mercury in vaccines.

A controversial new study published in Biomed Research International titled, "Methodological Issues and Evidence of Malfeasance in Research Purporting to Show Thimerosal in Vaccines Is Safe," has exposed convincing evidence of wrong-doing on the part of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in actively covering up the causal link between mercury in vaccines (Thimerosal) and harm to infants and children. According to the review, "There are over 165 studies that have focused on Thimerosal, an organic mercury (Hg) based compound, used as a preservative in many childhood vaccines, and found it to be harmful. Of these, 16 were conducted to specifically examine the effects of Thimerosal on human infants or children with reported outcomes of death; acrodynia; poisoning; allergic reaction; malformations; auto-immune reaction; Well's syndrome; developmental delay; and neurodevelopmental disorders, including tics, speech delay, language delay, attention deficit disorder, and autism."

Scientist Makes Mutant, Infectious Flu Virus in Lab

Flu experts have made a mutant version of the 1918 "Spanish flu" virus that killed tens of millions of people, sparking a new debate over whether such work is too dangerous.

Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin says the experiments are important for helping scientists understand how new pandemics start, and for designing better flu vaccines. "Because avian influenza viruses in nature require only a few changes to adapt to humans and cause a pandemic, it is important to understand the mechanisms involved in adaptation and identify the key mutations so we can be better prepared," Kawaoka said in a statement.

Most of the people who got whooping cough in San Diego County so far this year were up to date with their immunizations, according to county data.

Of the 621 people who contracted the illness, 85 percent had all their preventative shots - calling into question the efficacy of the vaccine. "Pertussis vaccines offer high levels of protection within the first year of completing vaccinations," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, a San Diego county public health officer. "But then the protection decreases over time," Wooten said. KPBS and inewsource first raised questions about how well the vaccine worked in 2010, after its statewide analysis of the data showed the majority of people who got the disease were already vaccinated.

A hot topic: the sale and use of raw milk products. Charges were dropped against raw milk advocate, Michael Hartmann who was in court this morning battling for what he considers a personal liberty.

Hartmann says,"Everyone has their own lives and it should be up to them to decide what they want." For Hartmann and his family who were supporting him in court today...it's been a stressful couple of years dealing with this case, but now he's moving forward. Hartmann says, "Now I can freely work with my customers, my consumers and it's going to make my days a little easier." "We think that the state was overreaching, trying to impose licensing requirements through the criminal procedure, which they could not do otherwise."

Revealed: Thousands of Irish orphans were used as 'drug guinea pigs'

June 9, 2014

Over 2,000 care-home kids were secretly vaccinated against diphtheria in the 1930s in medical trials undertaken by international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome, Irish media reveal. Among the testing sites was a recently discovered mass grave.

The medical records cited by the Irish Daily Mail show that some 2,051 children and babies across several Irish care homes may have been subjected to the practice. Michael Dwyer, of Cork University's School of History, found the data after foraging through tens of thousands of archive files and old medical journals. What he did not find is whether any consent was gained for these alleged illegal drug trials or any records of the effects on the infants involved. Dwyer discovered that the tests were carried out shortly before the drugs were made readily available in the UK. The homes involved included Bessborough, County Cork, and Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, County Tipperary.
