The central problem is the alum. The whole Vaccination meme is turning out to be Medieval.
It should only be used as an emergency tool in conjunction with medical isolation as was done for SARS. We do not today vaccinate against SARS or EBOLA for that matter.
As a general system it needs to be minimized and rethought or even reinvented. A lot of chronic problems we now take for granted are now suspect as possible long term Vaccine caused.
Blood letting is safer.
Attacking Ourselves: Top Doctors Reveal Vaccines Turn Our Immune System Against Us

The research is hard to
ignore, vaccines can trigger autoimmunity with a laundry list of
diseases to follow. With harmful and toxic metals as some vaccine
ingredients, who is susceptible and which individuals are more at risk?
No one would accuse Yehuda Shoenfeld of being a quack. The Israeli
clinician has spent more than three decades studying the human immune
system and is at the pinnacle of his profession. You might say he is
more foundation than fringe in his specialty; he wrote the textbooks. The Mosaic of Autoimmunity, Autoantibodies, Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Diseases, Infection and Autoimmunity, Cancer and Autoimmunity – the
list is 25 titles long and some of them are cornerstones of clinical
practice. Hardly surprising that Shoenfeld has been called the
"Godfather of Autoimmunology" – the study of the immune system turned on
itself in a wide array of diseases from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative
colitis and multiple sclerosis.
But something strange is happening in the world of immunology lately
and a small evidence of it is that the Godfather of Autoimmunology is
pointing to vaccines
– specifically, some of their ingredients including the toxic metal
aluminum – as a significant contributor to the growing global epidemic
of autoimmune diseases. The bigger evidence is a huge body of research
that's poured in in the past 15 years, and particularly in the past five
years. Take for example, a recent article published in the journal Pharmacological Research
in which Shoenfeld and colleagues issue unprecedented guidelines naming
four categories of people who are most at risk for vaccine-induced
autoimmunity.
"On one hand," vaccines prevent infections which can trigger
autoimmunity, say the paper's authors, Alessandra Soriano, of the
Department of Clinical Medicine and Rheumatology at the Campus
Bio-Medico University in Rome, Gideon Nesher, of the Hebrew University
Medical School in Jerusalem and Shoenfeld, founder and head of the
Zabludowicz Center of Autoimmune Diseases in the Sheba Medical Center at
Tel Hashomer. He is also editor of three medical journals and author of
more than 1,500 research papers across the spectrum of medical
journalism and founder of the International Congress on Autoimmunology.
"On the other hand, many reports that describe post-vaccination
autoimmunity strongly suggest that vaccines can indeed trigger autoimmunity.
Defined autoimmune diseases that may occur following vaccinations
include arthritis, lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) diabetes
mellitus, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, dermatomyosiositis,
Guillain-Barre syndrome and demyelinating disorders. Almost all types of
vaccines have been reported to be associated with the onset of ASIA."
ASIA – or Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (also known as Shoenfeld's syndrome) -- first appeared in the Journal of Autoimmunology
four years ago. It is an umbrella term for a collection of similar
symptoms, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, that result after exposure
to an adjuvant – an environmental agent including common vaccine
ingredients that stimulate the immune system. Since then an enormous
body of research, using ASIA as a paradigm, has begun to unravel the
mystery of how environmental toxins, particularly the metal aluminum
used in vaccines, can trigger an immune system chain reaction in
susceptible individuals and may lead to overt autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune disease results when the body's system meant to attack
foreign invaders turns instead to attack part of the body it belongs to (auto
is Greek for self). If the immune system is like a national defence
system, antibodies are like drones programmed to recognize a certain
type of invader (a bacteria say) and to destroy them or mark them for
destruction by other special forces. Autoantibodies are like drones that
are misidentifying a component of the human body and have launched a
sustained attack on it. If they mistakenly target a component of the
conductive sheath around neurons, for example, nerve impulses stop
conducting properly, muscles go into spasm and coordination fails;
multiple sclerosis results. If autoantibodies erroneously focus on joint
tissue; rheumatoid arthritis results. If they target the islets of
Langerhans in the pancreas, Type 1 diabetes, and so on
"Throughout our lifetime the normal immune system walks a fine line
between preserving normal immune reactions and developing autoimmune
diseases," says the paper. "The healthy immune system is tolerant to
self-antigens. When self-tolerance is disturbed, dysregulation of the
immune system follows, resulting in emergence of an autoimmune disease.
Vaccination is one of the conditions that may disturb this homeostasis
in susceptible individuals, resulting in autoimmune phenomena and ASIA."
Who is "susceptible" is the subject of the paper entitled,
"Predicting post-vaccination autoimmunity: Who might be at risk?" It
lists four categories of people: 1) those who have had a previous
autoimmune reaction to a vaccine, 2) anyone with a medical history of
autoimmunity, 3) patients with a history of allergic reactions, 4)
anyone at high risk of developing autoimmune disease including anyone
with a family history of autoimmunity, presence of autoantibodies which
are detectable by blood tests and other factors including low vitamin D
and smoking.
PREVIOUS REACTION
Regarding those who have had a previous adverse reaction to vaccines,
the paper cites five relevant studies including the case of a death of a
teenage girl six months following her third Gardasil
injection against HPV virus. She had experienced a range of symptoms
shortly after her first dose, including dizziness, numbness and tingling
in her hands, and memory lapses. After her second injection, she
developed "intermittent arm weakness, frequent tiredness requiring
daytime naps," worse tingling, night sweats, chest pain and
palpitations. A full autopsy was unrevealing but blood and spleen tissue
analysis revealed HPV-16 L1 gene DNA fragments – matching the DNA found
in vials of the Gardasil vaccine against cervical cancer – "thus
implicating the vaccine as a causal factor." The DNA fragments had also
been found to be "complexed with the aluminum adjuvant" which, according
to the report, have been shown to persist for up to 8 to 10 years
causing chronic immune system stimulation.
"Although data is limited," Shoenfeld and his colleagues concluded,
"it seems preferable that individuals with prior autoimmune or
autoimmune-like reactions to vaccinations, should not be immunized, at
least not with the same type of vaccine."
ESTABLISHED AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION
The second group which the paper cites for vaccine exemption is
patients with "established autoimmune conditions." Vaccines don't work
so well in them, say Shoenfeld and his colleagues, and they are at "risk
for flares following vaccination." Inoculations that contain live
viruses including chickenpox, yellow fever and the measles, mumps and
rubella triple vaccine (MMR) are "generally contraindicated" for people
with autoimmune conditions because of the risk of "uncontrolled viral
replication." But inactivated vaccines are not such a good idea either
because they usually contain the added ingredient aluminum, linked to
autoimmunity.
The immunologists describe recent studies in which patients with
autoimmune rheumatic disease given the influenza vaccine (without
aluminum) suffered more joint pain and fever than controls and whose
levels of autoantibodies (the drones that attack self) increased after
receiving the flu vaccine. What's more, they developed new types of
autoantibodies that weren't present before the vaccines, and those
persisted. As the presence of autoantibodies can be predictive of developing autoimmune disease in patients without symptoms, even years ahead of disease onset, this is troubling to those who understand immunology.
A number of studies claim vaccines are safe for the "overwhelming
majority of patients with established autoimmune diseases," the study
allows, but they only looked at rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and not
at severe and active cases so "the potential benefit of vaccination
should be weighed against its potential risk," they cautioned.
PATIENTS WITH A HISTORY OF ALLERGY
Vaccine trials have usually excluded "vulnerable" individuals -- only
extremely healthy individuals with no allergies are recruited. It's a
"selection bias," say Soriano and Shoenfeld, and has likely resulted in
serious adverse events being "considerably underestimated" in "real life
where vaccines are mandated to all individuals regardless of their
susceptibility." The true incidence of allergic reactions to vaccines,
normally estimated at between one in 50,000 to one in a million doses,
is probably much higher and particularly where gelatin or egg proteins
are on the ingredients list, they say.
There's a long list of vaccine ingredients that are potential
allergens: besides the infectious agents themselves, there are those
from hen's egg, horse serum, baker's yeast, numerous antibiotics,
formaldehyde and lactose, as well "inadvertent" ingredients such as
latex. People's allergic histories have to be taken before vaccination
say the researchers. But some signs of reaction don't show up until
after the shot.
The public health nurse or GP might tell patients that a long-lasting
swelling around the injection site after a vaccine is a normal
reaction, for example. But that is not what the immunologists say.
"[A]luminum sensitization manifests as nodules [hard lumps] at the
injection site that often regress after weeks or months, but may persist
for years." In such cases, they say, a patch test can be done to
confirm sensitivity and to avoid vaccination.
According to a growing body of research, though, allergy may be only the beginning of many dangerous aluminum-induced phenomena.
THE TROUBLE WITH ALUMINUM
Aluminum has been added to vaccines since about 1926 when Alexander
Glenny and colleagues noticed it would produce better antibody responses
in vaccines than the antigen alone. Glenny figured the alum was
inducing what he called a "depot effect" – slowing the release of the
antigen and heightening the immune response. For 60 years his theory was
accepted dogma. And over the same time, the vaccine schedule grew
decade on decade, but few ever questioned the effects of injecting
aluminum into the body, which is strange considering its known toxicity.
A PubMed search on aluminum and "toxicity" turns up 4,258 entries.
Its neurotoxicity is well documented. It affects memory, cognition,
psychomotor control; it damages the blood brain barrier, activates brain
inflammation, depresses mitochondrial function and plenty of research
suggests it is a key player in the formation of the amyloid "plaques"
and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It's been implicated
in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and autism and demonstrated to induce allergy.
When kidney dialysis patients were accidentally infused with aluminum, the "dialysis-induced encephalopathy"
(DAE) they developed neurological symptoms: speech abnormalities,
tremors, memory loss, impaired concentration and behavioural changes.
Many of the patients eventually went into comas and died. The lucky ones
survived: when the source of toxicity, aluminum, was removed from their
dialysis they recovered rapidly.
With these new observations, researchers began investigating the
adjuvant effects of aluminum and in the past decade there has been a
flurry of research.
Far from being a sandbag that holds the antigen for a while and then
gets excreted, it turns out that aluminum salts trigger a storm of
defence action. Within hours of injection of the same aluminum
oxyhydroxide in vaccines into mice, for example, armies of specialized
immune cells are on the move, calling in grid coordinates for more
specialist assault forces. Within a day, a whole host of immune system
commandos are in play -- neutrophils, eosinophils, inflammatory
monocytes, myeloid and dendritic cells, activating lymphocytes and
secreting proteins called cytokines. The cytokines themselves cause
collateral damage but they send out signals, directing cell-to-cell
communication and recruiting other cells into action. If the next phase
of the attack is launched: fibroblast growth factor, interferons,
interleukins, platelet derived growth factor, transforming growth factor
and tumour necrosis factor might all be engaged. There's evidence that
poorly understood and pesky inflammasomes, (currently a topic of
cutting- edge cancer causation research) such as the Nod-like receptor 3( NLRP) are activated too, but it's all still too early to say exactly what they're doing.
New research emerging from University of British Columbia has
found that aluminum adjuvant injected into mice can alter the expression
of genes associated with autoimmunity. And in their recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, immunologists
at the University of Colorado found that even host DNA is recruited
into the aluminum assault, that it rapidly coats injected alum,
triggering effects that scientists have barely scratched the surface of
understanding.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROPHAGIC MYOFASCIITIS
This mobility or "translocation" of aluminum in the body is perhaps
the most disturbing of the mounting evidence in current aluminum
research. In 1998, French researcher Romain Gherardi and his colleagues
observed an emerging condition of unknown origin which presented in
patients post-vaccination with Chronic Fatigue like symptoms including
swollen lymph nodes, joint and muscle pain and exhaustion. Tissue
biopsies of the patients' deltoid revealed lesions up to 1 cm in
diameter and unique from similar lesions of other diseases. They went to
the lab for analysis and to Gherardi's astonishment, they mainly
consisted of macrophages – large white blood cells in the immune system
whose job is to swallow up foreign invaders in the body. Enclosed in the
cellular fluid of these phagocytes were agglomerates of nanocrystals of
aluminum.
Gherardi and his colleagues began injecting mice with aluminum to see what happened. Their research
published in 2013 revealed that the metal particles were engulfed by
macrophages and formed MMF-like granulomas that dispersed -- to distant
lymph nodes, spleen, liver and eventually brain.
"This strongly suggests that long-term adjuvant biopersistence within
phagocytic cells is a prerequisite of slow brain translocation and
delayed neurotoxicity," writes Gherardi in his February 2015 review of the relevant research in Frontiers in Neurology.
A more frightening animal study of aluminum is that of Spanish
veterinary researcher Lluis Lujan's study of ovine ASIA. After huge
numbers of sheep in Spain died in 2008 in the wake of a compulsory
multiple vaccine campaign against bluetongue in Spain in 2008, Lujan set
out to find out what killed them – and he began by inoculating them
with aluminum.
His 2013 study found that only 0.5% of sheep inoculated with aluminum
vaccines showed immediate reactions of lethargy, transient blindness,
stupor, prostration and seizures – "characterized by a severe
meningoencephalitis, similar to postvaccine reactions seen in humans."
Most of them recovered, temporarily, but postmortem exams of the ones
who didn't revealed acute brain inflammation.
The delayed onset "chronic" phase of the disease affected far more of
the sheep -- 50-70% of flocks and sometimes virtually 100% of animals
within a given flock, usually including all of those who had previously
recovered. The reaction was frequently triggered by exposure to cold and
began with restlessness and compulsive wool-biting, then progressed to
acute redness of the skin, generalized weakness, extreme weight loss and
muscle tremors, and finally, entered the terminal phase where the
animals went down on their front quarters, became comatose and died.
Post-mortem examinations revealed "severe neuron necrosis" and aluminum
in the nerve tissue.
The immune system's reaction to aluminum "represents a major health
challenge," Gerhardi declares in his recent review, and he adds that
"attempts to seriously examine safety concerns raised by the
bio-persistent character and brain accumulation of alum particles have
not been made... A lot must be done to understand how, in certain
individuals, alum-containing vaccines may become insidiously unsafe."
Back to the problem of which "certain individuals" should avoid vaccination to avoid autoimmune disease.
PEOPLE PRONE TO DEVELOP AUTOIMMUNITY
Soriano and Shoenfeld's identify a final category: anyone at risk of
developing autoimmune disease. Since a number of them have been shown to
have genetic factors that would include anyone with a family history of
autoimmune disease. It also includes anyone who has tested positive for
autoantibodies which can indicate disease years before symptoms show
up. Vaccinations, the doctors say, "may trigger or worsen the disease."
Smokers too, have an exceptionally high risk of developing an autoimmune disease, says the report. The American Cancer Society
estimates that about 18% of Americans smoke. That means about 42
million Americans have an elevated risk of developing an autoimmune
disease and they're stacking the odds with every vaccine.
And finally, factors that Shoenfeld and Soriano associate with high
risk of developing autoimmunity are high estrogen and low vitamin D --
which means anyone taking birth control or hormone replacement therapy
and, according to one 2009 study of vitamin D status, about three quarters of American teens and adults should be wary of vaccines.
Shoenfeld doesn't seem to mean to exclude all of these people from
immunization, however. The paper concludes that "for the overwhelming
majority of individuals, vaccines carry no risk of systemic autoimmune
disease and should be administered according to current
recommendations." Which is in stark contrast to the body of the paper.
The final word is cautionary about weighing the "potential benefit of
vaccination...against its potential risk."
It's exemplary of a strange sort of schizophrenia in a wide range of
recent immunology papers. The doctors seem to be trying to reconcile a
century of "safe and effective" vaccine dogma with the last decade's
worth of terrifying research findings. There's a lot of "on the one
hand" and "on the other hand" in them.
The new research seems about to gain the upper hand, however. A 2013 overview
of ASIA by six immunologists including Shoenfeld, for example, is a
catalogue of vaccine side effects from Gardasil deaths, narcolepsy
epidemics, infertility, chronic fatigue, dead sheep and aluminum-addled
brains. It is rife with statements that would have been virtually
unheard of inside mainstream medicine a decade ago. Like this shocker:
"Perhaps, in twenty years, physicians will be dueling with better
characterized particles of autoimmunity, and the vaccines may become
fully safe as well as effective. Nonetheless the recognition of ASIA has
initiated the change to put more efforts in identifying the good, the
bad and the ugly of vaccines and in particular of adjuvants as triggers
of autoimmunity." Bad and ugly of vaccines? What's wrong with the
adjuvants? That's not in the CDC hand-out.
Or how about this one:
"Despite the huge amount of money invested in studying vaccines,
there are few observational studies and virtually no randomized clinical
trials documenting the effect on mortality of any of the existing
vaccines. One recent paper found an increased hospitalization rate with
the increase of the number of vaccine doses and a mortality rate ratio
for 5-8 vaccine doses to 1-4 doses of 1.5, indicating a statistically
significant increase of deaths associated with higher vaccine doses.
Since vaccines are given to millions of infants annually, it is
imperative that health authorities have scientific data from synergistic
toxicity studies on all combinations of vaccines..." That could be any
anti-vaxxer jabbering on...but it's not.
But here is the topper:
"The US Supreme Court ruled that vaccines makers are immune from
lawsuits charging that the design of the vaccine is defective. Thus
there is need for innovative clinical trial design and the vaccines
themselves should be redesigned." Immunologists including the world's
leading authority on autoimmunity are saying it is time to take vaccines
back to the drawing board.
Autoimmune disease is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and now among the top 10 killers of young American women. The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association
estimates that 50 million Americans suffer from one of 88 autoimmune
diseases -- from type 1 diabetes to systemic lupus erythematosus -- and
some research puts the figure at one in five globally. At least 40 more
diseases are suspected to be immune-mediated. Most of them are
devastating -- frequently crippling, expensive to treat and incurable.
And they are increasing at an astonishing pace.
At this stage, it looks like the more the research pours in, the
harder it is going to get for pro-vaccine immunologists to keep multiple
personality disorder – or complete nervous breakdown -- at bay. Ten
years of cutting edge research into aluminum's effects on the immune
system has revealed primarily how wrong they were. And how little they
know. If, after 90 years, doctors finally have begun to seriously
examine the mechanism and question the merits of injecting metal toxins
into newborn babies, what have they yet to discover? ASIA sounds awful.
(Too bad for all the people whose kids suffered through chronic fatigue
when it was just a Freudian yearning to sleep with their mother.) But
what if, like Lujan's sheep, the "negligible" minority that has been
paying the price for the good of humanity is actually only the tip of
the iceberg? What if some people with no apparent adverse immune
reactions still have nanocrystals of aluminum silently depositing in
their brains? What if ASIA really includes Alzheimer's? ALS, autism?
ADD? And that's just the A's.
Even if immunologists keep wearing their rose coloured glasses, and
vaccine ingredients are only responsible for a tiny fraction of the
exploding autoimmunity, the "ugly" in vaccines will still get harder and
harder to ignore. When everyone on the planet is getting injected, 20
years is a long time for disabled people to stack up while scientists
"duel with the characterized particles of autoimmunity." In the fury
over the Disneyland measles outbreak
that is gripping the world's vaccine promoters, time is running out for
doctors and researchers who see the "bad and ugly" side of vaccines and
their adjuvants to do something about it. There's slim chance of a
vaccine redesign in the absence of a profit incentive and a strong
chance of universal vaccine mandates for one and all -- previous
anaphylactic shock reaction or not.
