Vaccination - a special reportThis article on vaccination formed part of a special report that appeared in a 1995 issue of The Good Life. Since then, much more scientific and medical evidence has appeared to show that vaccines are more harmful than helpful. Rather than protect us against infectious diseases, they weaken our immunity and increase our risks of getting infectious diseases like Aids. Plus, there is growing avidence that vaccines, or at least the mercury used in manufacturing them. causes or contributes to serious mental problems like autism. (Some countries have since banned mercury-based vaccines.) Yet the number of vaccines continue to rise. I accompanied a friend to a doctor's clinic the other day and was shocked to see the list of vaccines offered: 5-in-1, 7-in-1... and still about a dozen more.
There is a map of Africa showing the areas with the most successful vaccination programs in the 1950s and 1960s. And there is another map of Africa showing the areas with the highest incidence of Aids today. Those who have seen the two maps, one of whom is macrobiotic teacher Adelbert Nelissen, say they look exactly they same the areas with the most successful programs a generation ago today have the highest incidence of Aids. What does this mean? It does not necessarily mean that vaccines “cause” Aids. But it does strongly suggest that they make people more prone to Aids and other infectious diseases. Isn’t vaccination supposed to protect and strengthen us against disease? That is what doctors say. And what most people believe. But is it what happens in real life? Vaccines are developed to protect us against specific diseases. A vaccine for tuberculosis is only supposed to protect us against tuberculosis; a vaccine for measles is supposed to protect us against measles. That is all. So even if they work, vaccines only protect us against a handful of diseases. We remain open to the rest. And there is evidence to suggest that getting vaccinated make us more prone to diseases in general. There is even evidence that people who are vaccinated against certain diseases become more prone to these very same diseases. In recent years, for example, more people are getting polio again. Most of these polio victims had actually been vaccinated against polio. Adelbert Nelissen compares this to the story of The Boy who Cried Wolf: A boy was left to look after some sheep. He gets bored, so he raises a false alarm by shouting out, “Wolf! Wolf!” Each time he did this, people ran to his rescue, only to find him laughing away. Later, a wolf did really appear. “Wolf! Wolf!” the boy cried out. But this time, no one came to his rescue. They thought it was another false alarm. Vaccines work the same way, Adelbert explains, by making the body’s immune system respond to a false disease. Then when real diseases finally appear, the body fails to respond. This explanation may not sound scientific. But it make some sense to me at least. Moreover, there is mounting scientific evidence that vaccines can produce nasty adverse effects including brain damage, leading to conditions such as autism, and death. Click here to learn more. The basic problem with vaccination is that it is based on the wrong assumption the idea that diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses. Germs exist all around us and within us. Why, then, do we not succumb to all diseases? Why do only certain people fall ill and not others? The germ theory was propounded by Louis Pasteur (1822-1895). Yet Pasteur retracted this theory on his deathbed, when he declared: “The germ is nothing; the terrain is everything.” By this, Pasteur meant that the diseases are caused not by germs, but by conditions in the body that allow germs to flourish. The work of Pasteur’s contemporary, Beauchamp, even shows that bacteria and other micro-organisms actually evolve from diseased cells in the body. In other words, diseases “cause” germs. Yet most people today including doctors and lay people still live in fear that they will “catch” diseases from bacteria and viruses. That is why vaccination remains popular, in spite of the harm it can produce. We need to seriously and urgently think again about the widespread use of vaccines. It could well prove to be the biggest medical disaster of all time. Click here to read Part II of this article on the harm of vaccination.
