You know what? This is something I can actually thank them for. I never questioned the safety of vaccines before, and now let’s just say my illusions have been dissolved:

While I have always been somewhat ‘vaccine hesitant’, I had no idea of the depth of the evil. I’m 65 and my kids were on the low end of the “vaccine schedule” in the late 1980s. The first time that I started to feel that something wasn’t right was when my youngest son turned 14 and they wanted to give him the HPV shot. When I questioned it I was told that I should “protect his future wife”. No-hard pass. I have had maybe 5 flu shots in my life, all due to employer mandates. I will NEVER take another shot, for anything. I trust my God created immune system.

I was told same for my 12 yr old son around 2010...by MY gynecologist! Seems the script was everywhere. " For future daughter in law's sake". 😳. Of course I stood firm at. "no". His (son's) own pediatrician went so far as to say I was being bad mother....right in front of him. LAST VISIT! (Fired him). 😌😅

Whenever a doctor prescribes meds that seem unnecessary -- assume they are sponsored by that company and are working towards an all expenses paid 'conference' to a luxury resort.

Should it be standard to ask - why are you prescribing this as it seems to be overkill / not needed -- and do you receive any incentives for doing so?

HPV for a male to “protect his future wife”?! 😲

Expand full comment

Yes! That’s what they said! I am thankful that my gut instinct to protect him was strong! I too have now read ‘Dissolving Illusions’ and done a lot of research on the subject. This corona mess opened my eyes to all of the corruption in Pharma, medicine, food industry, etc. I am a therapist and have witnessed the increase in autism rates over the years, not to mention the latest insanity around “gender”. The mental health world is captured too, and I am one of few who don’t play that game.

For girls to be healthy fertile future wives, it is far better for them to preserve their virginity than to submit to sketchy vaccines. Just saying....

and that jab too is not working. I saw a 30 something who had been damaged by the vaccine, recovered, only to find out a few years later she had the sickness it was meant to protect her from (I think it is in the vaxxed film)

I recall following the shot protocol early on with my sons, then as I learned more and came across NVIC and comments others were making, and noticing the ridiculous number of shots growing so quickly, I upped my researching and began refusing. I think there is just so much to dig through and seemingly not enough time for new parents to dig through it all.

I am glad I woke up and can pass along info I learn. In retrospect, I'm sure my sons had effects from their shots over the years- one has ADD (and he emphasizes NOT Hyperactive component per his doc...), and he also had intermittent tics (blinky behaviors) when younger and would periodically reemerge ln later years. I can see he is so on the spectrum, but functioning. He is fortunate it isn;'t worse. In retrospect, I also recall both of them playing with their fingers- staring at them trance-like. That disappeared and I never even thought to look at timing or when it started- it wasn't excessive- subtle, but with shot timing and all. It can be so obscure. Perhaps another interfering factor with all the other toxins out there. My husband also traveled a lot so I was more of a working single mom racing around, having to keep up with all that and he had no clue how vigilant one had to be with the health care system as one begins to notice the deception....one can't let their guard down. When this whole COVID thing hit and I was glued to reading up on it all, his initial scoffing turned to slowly waking up to reality. He had no idea of the pressures I had to endure with the doctors and the boys and shots..... We mom's have to really be so vigilant all the time with our kids....and it goes on and on with this corrupt system. When they get older, we can only pass info. along and cross our fingers they make the right choices for their health. I recall feeling so glad they made it through college and got out of it prior to all this mandating nonsense.

I agree with what you said about the mental health world too, Jennifer! Captured. It is everywhere. Hypervigilance is so necessary nowadays!

Your story of your sons sounds like my sons. He was 5 in 1989. Started with rolling of ankles, rolling eyes( to left), tucs, clearing his throat, obsession with his shoelaces being even, headaches, and more. Pediatrician said he was hyperactive. I said no way. Spent a year testing at UCONN HOSPITAL, no answers. Thankfully he outgrew most of it as he got older. Now mostly headaches. I never realized until I looked into this vaccine. I am so angry now. We didn't have instant access to info like we do now. My daughter whom I had in ' 89 seemed fine. God, I wish I knew what I do now. Now look at the children's vax schedule now. Horrifying!!

One of my sons, born in '98, had unusual headaches at times- seems preceded with aura - he did see a neurologist and is doing ok, really just weird visions and such- reminded me of Oliver Sacks' description in one of his books- "Hallucinations"- he (author) had them too, but not really pain, just weird visual senses and feeling wiped out afterwards. They are quite rare in occurrence now.

That eye rolling also was present with my older son like you mentioned ('94 birth), along with the blinky eyes. Also, I recall feeling he was a bit hyper and asked his speech therapist at the time (preschool) her thoughts and was told she felt it was just his exuberance coming through. Well, he always seemed a bit restless as a kid, but it never got him steered towards meds, thank God!

Yes, I am angry now as you. We were taken.....We were also lucky though.

They told me the same thing with my son. I responded "my son's future-wife's cervix is her responsibility." I just declined it for my daughter and told our doctor about the many lawsuits, of which she was unaware. To her credit though, she didn't argue or coerce. She looked at the vial and said "it expires in 2025, if you change your mind, its here." And then thanked me for making her aware of the issues with it.

What a great response! I am so stealing it and using it at my youngest kid's next appointment (when, after 5 years now of me refusing this stupid shot, they will give me the song and dance).

Why even bother taking your kid to the appointment? Is he or she ill? What is the goal of the appointment? For them to push needles? The doctor is not needed unless there is something causing illness, and even then all they know to do is prescribe drugs. They have become nearly worthless.

Oh yes I would. Its happened for years to women who do their research and make an informed choice not to do gynecological screenings of any sort. A few go as far as to make a woman think--or outright state--that its a legal mandate and that they can get a court order or have her arrested if she refuses. The medical establishment has become straight up gestapo about controlling patients by any means necessary--and creating them by any means necessary, lest anyone notice the guy who never goes to the doctor for anything unless he needs it is doing as well as or better than the one getting yearly checkups with constant follow-ups and us on ten different pills at the age of 30. Best force them all on the medical carousel of looking for problems in ways that create problems, then charging to fix the problems with solutions that create new problems. Palpitate, scan, dose, inject, slice, charge, lather, rinse, repeat.

But if you don't trust them, you've got a screw loose.

My ex's son GOT HPV from the HPV injection, and they pushed it when he was 15 years old. He has HPV in his throat and it makes his voice almost inaudable. He has to go get his throat scraped which is really painful as well. So, I do wish I had been able to protect him from that, somehow. Never trust your kids with any medical entity for sure.

Finding a really good naturopath is my only way to deal with my health, other than my own choices.

The Physicians are brainwashed over vaccines, and other techniques/treatments besides.

They are taught you cannot cure disease, only treat it. Where has that led us? Into a terrible place, frankly.

Gardasil to prevent Bowen's disease?

HPV (Gardasil) was the shot that got me to wake up a little from the vaccine coma I was in with all of my kids (wish I had been more alert - I envy those who were). The more I learned about HPV itself, how the body typically deals with it and then about the trials associated with shot, the more skeptical I became. I allowed the "experts" to convince me that my first born's autism was "in no way related to any vaccines" and consented to giving shots to all of my other kids, but in today's environment, there are many three to which I would consent.

I am unvaxxed - had covid a few months ago - killed it within a couple of days with Hydroxy - wife had it before me opted not to treat - mild flu for 5 days.

Fast forward and there is a 'vicious flu' tearing through Australia that is now in NZ... the number of people who are sick - and I mean really sick - is off the charts... businesses already short staffed are now being forced to close due to The Sickness.

I was in town watching a hockey game on the weekend - got to chatting with an Aussie tourist - who was trying to hide The Sickness... coughing into his sleeve from time to time.

On Sunday I developed a sniffle - Monday Tuesday running nose + sneezing - no coughing - did not feel particularly unwell beyond the running nose. It's Wednesday morning and the symptoms are just about done and dusted - I will skate this evening.

Meanwhile we know of fit 30+ year olds who have had The Sickness and experienced 104 temperatures and horribly painful uncontrollable coughing fits that required visits to the hospital ED ... they are boosted.

I have no doubt that VAIDS is a real thing and that all these injected people have opened the floodgates to a wide range of diseases from cancer to severe flu.

I suspect that they have the immune systems of a feeble 80 year old. And that this is only the beginning. At some point we will get the mutation that Bossche has warned up - perhaps a more severe version of Delta that is even more contagious than Omicron...

And all hell will break loose.

Yep and it will be the jabbed that caused the severe form and they will infect the unvaxxed, as is already happening. Will order some more horse med just in case.

INdeed. I had to take the shots when I immigrated to the US and that will, God willing, be the last shots I will ever take.

The Cat has to do the reading that Margaret Anna Alice recommends, because Dissolving Illusions is written by a real doctor with real patients, who discovered that after a flu shot, several of her patients had to be hospitalized. When she asked around, she found nothing but numbness. Then she did the REAL science and discovered the truth, which was not taking with gratitude by her colleagues. I b ought the book a while ago and advize everyone to read it. Even if you are needle happy it is good to know that no vaccine is safe and no vaccine warrants you that you won't get sick anymore. REmember the measles outbreak some years ago in NY. From 160 children, more than a third was fully vaccinated. Which means the measles vaccine does not work too well either ! A friend took the very painful shingles vaccine and 2 weeks later had shingles. Just saying....

My female cousin had HPV and her OB/GYN doctor wanted to perform a hysterectomy on her because she allegedly had precancerous cells in cervix from HPV. She told me about and I told her to wait. I did research on HPV and found a study where Shitake mushrooms were used to cure HPV. I sent the study to my cousin and she took the Shitake mushrooms everyday for three months. She was re-tested for HPV by her OB/GYN and tests returned negative. Her OB/GYN said it was false negative and he had her tested every three months and all tests returned negative over a course of year. Her cervix was normal and her OB/GYN said no need for a hysterectomy.

Fact 1. The CDC has reported significant declines in childhood vaccination rates during the pandemic, ranging from 7% decrease to 20% decrease in childhood vaccination uptake.

Fact 2. Becker and Blaxill published a compelling analysis pointing to a reduction in mortality rates in young people (especially infants) during the pandemic. Their analysis, based on NCHS data, points to hundreds of lives in infants not lost per day during the same period of time when vaccination uptake dropped significantly.

Every time someone defends “traditional” vaccines I ask them why the manufacturers are immune from all liability when the products are mandated by the .gov (to attend .gov schools) the losses are socialized through VICP, and the profits are privatized

Anyone remotely paying attention can figure out that breeds corruption. I don’t care if they say it’s gonna make me live forever and make me look like Linda Evangelista circa 1995 , I (and more importantly my children) am NOT getting irreversibly injected with any product where the manufacturer is immune from liability.

vaccines should be treated like all other meds, with liablility for every reaction. Thousands of children and adults get damaged by them but no one ever gets a cent. Only once in a blue moon the government coughs up a bit. I just saw where a 22 year old finally got heard 20 years after the damage, and if I remember well they still did not get any help

Expand full comment

IF the reports that payouts by the national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, or VICP, have now topped $4 billion, THEN your claim that "no one ever gets a cent" is false, unless of course your meaning is that no compensation is exactly the sum of one cent. Should you so wish, you may file for compensation at https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation

I would be most grateful if more people would begin to realize that the constitutionally dubious interference into market activity by the federal government serves special interests and not the national interest. Carving-out a vaccine exemption was an injury to the law, masquerading as law.

how many people are you talking about ? one in a thousand ? I know there are many more who do not get any compensation, than those that do. I think it was INdonesia where victims of the covid injections already are starting to get compensated. No one far as I know in the US got anything. Sorry for the generalisation.

Amen! I didn’t become anti-vax because I lost confidence in public health officials. I became anti-vax because I lost confidence in them, AND THEN I did research to get informed.

Losing confidence should be enough by itself.

The moment you realize you are dealing with liars you should reject everything they have ever told you. Then you start from scratch with the position that any medical treatment should be rejected until you have done research showing it helps.

So, absent research, my position is now anti all medical treatments pushed by the medical establishment. As and when necessary I will conduct my own investigation of available research on any treatment proposed for me and mine. Thus I may choose to become pro specific treatments on a case by case basis.

"Any medical treatment should be rejected until you have done research showing it helps." Well said Horace. Unfortunately biology is terribly complex, and the charlatans are not only to be found in the medical establishment. There are many more ways to be wrong about a thing than there are to be right.

Indeed. But this is a basic problem of human society. How much research should/must one do for oneself, and how do you decide who to trust? Getting this right is an essential life skill, a core part of critical thinking.

The element that should have changed for everyone (except those who already figured it out) is that the medical establishment must be struck in their entirety from the set of people who should be trusted.

Margaret, great to meet you here. I really appreciate the articles from Dr. Gato Malo. But I do not agree with him about "other vaccines have been tested for safety and efficacy, only the covid vaccines are a problem" .... These tests are not done in a way that would convince me. I want to see real data, real longitudinal controlled trials comparing all health outcomes of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated people...

(all cause mortality, all cause severe morbidity, cancer incidence, all other diseases, suicide, development of overweight etc. etc.. within decades following vaccination. We have many good reasons to ask for these data).

Of course, for each vaccine alone and for multiple combinations etc.

99.9-100%. They took me who was indifferent to slightly pro-vaccine and turned me onto a 'what the frick are you idiots doing? I think imma look closer into the history of vaccines' journey. I don't like what I learned. At all. 'Safe and effective' sure to some extent but it's still '4 in 5 dentists' marketing to me.

They created me. They opened Pandora's Box. They couldn't let sleeping dogs lie. They had to get the BIIIIG SALAD!.

It's funny. They've been ramping up taking vaccines since at least 2016 and this always left me skeptical and slightly unnerved wondering what was going on. Not that it's necessarily connected to what's happened in the last two years - which is the greatest medical crime and hysteria in history.

So yeh. They can squawk all they want blanketing everyone under the 'anti-vaxxers' label (which is far from the case. It just makes it easier for the lazy medical shills and academics to demonize and scapegoat) but as put in this fiery article: THEY CREATED THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.

Since getting my childhood inoculations back in the 50s, I have never felt the need to get a vaccine such as a flu shot. It is not pleasant to get the flu, but to catch the bug is normal and highly survivable.

Excellent book from Suzanne Humphries clearly illustrates how the vaccine industry falsely claimed responsibility for massive improvements in areas of infectious disease prevention and control. These improvements preceded the introduction of mass vaccination, but that didn’t stop the needle-pushers from taking all the glory and cashing in on an epic scale. Many, many ppl have been savvy to the true history and nature of the vaccine industry for a very long time. Sadly not nearly enough people, though, as the last 2 1/2 years have shown.

Expand full comment

I think it would be a more persuasive argument here if you could cite some clinical studies which have been peer reviewed. Whilst I am very concerned about the mRNA gene therapy experiment, I have not found anything substantive to convince me that the vaccines i grew up with throughout the 70s & 80s ever did anything but good.

Caveat here is that formulations MAY have been changed in more recent times, surreptitiously - but, I think that the prevalence of so many hideous chemicals in our environment, food, air and water which are known to cause a wide range of neuro-toxic, endocrine disrupting, carcinogenic - 'every-genic' - along with the low quality of food/diets is far more likely to explain the uptick in all manner of chronic illnesses, conditions or diseases than a conspiracy to cause autism via a vaccine.

Occam's razor here comrades - and don't attack the messenger just because you don't agree. This kind of aggression and myopia is an extension of the outrage-mongering our dear elite have been stoking to keep us immobilised and disunited since time, and it really weakens the rest of our power to co-operate, organise and resist.

I agree wholeheartedly in most of what you say, except that 'we' should discard everything 'they' have ever said. This is very post-modernist and abandoning EVERYTHING so that 'we' can review everything is an enormous undertaking alone, and beyond impractical. There is proof about the efficacy of the polio vaccines for one thing, as we never see it in our daily lives.

Expand full comment

If someone cheats you in business, you don't do business with them again unless there is no alternative. And if someone tells you a series of lies, you no longer trust statements they make.

That's called common sense and falls within the remit of the old Italian proverb "He that deceives me once, it’s his fault; but if twice, it’s my fault." which was first documented in “The Court and Character of King James,” written by Anthony Weldon in 1651. The English version is of course "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". There's nothing post-modernist about it at all.

And you, or I (or anyone else) don't need to review everything. I just need to review any treatments proposed to me. And that's not an enormous and impractical undertaking at all. In fact it's probably something I should have done all along.

Specifically wrt to polio, I believe that in India the vaccine works, at least in part, by simply re-defining the diagnosis. In other words any child who gets polio symptoms after receiving a vaccine is diagnosed with something called "non-polio acute flaccid paralysis". The exact same symptoms would be diagnosed as polio in any child who had not been vaccinated. Thus polio disappears, only to be replaced by a larger epidemic of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis. See how that works? And how similar it is to the type of statistical fraud we have seen during the covid era?

I am not aware whether or not a similar position prevails, or even if any studies have been done, in more developed nations.

I agree with your point about taking personal responsibility for reviewing the treatments proposed to you. That endeavor still requires access to trusted sources of information. Doing that due diligence in the pre-internet 70's and 80's would be a much different task that doing so today.

Dissolving Illusions is a must read. And yes formulations have changed. I heard a doctor say, that the old, single vaccine for measles worked pretty good, but that the multijab they give now, is not good for either of the 3 ingredients. That might have been Dr Wakefield. You might also want to check the ingredients of the jabs, if it reads PEG, that is a very poor ingredient in shampoo. Do you want that in your body?

Compare the vaccines you received to the current CDC schedule. There is very little overlap. DTP is no longer even available in the US as it is too dangerous but they dumped it on third worlders to kill their babies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5868131/

"they had long records of safety and efficacy."

At some point I hope you sit down with those of us working in this field so that we can show you that these long records of safety and efficacy you believe in were **also** based on the failure to properly identify vaccine injury (gaslighting in most cases) and fraud (in many cases).

And perhaps you still haven't figured out that autism is primarily caused by vaccines. How are 100,000 new brain damaged ("autistic") people per year in the US alone "safe?" Keep in mind 1/3 are non-verbal and most will not have normal lives.

Have you looked into the molecular mimicry behind autoimmune diseases and vaccine antigens? The aluminum causing the massive allergy epidemic (some of which are life-threatening)? The vaccine-induced gut dysbiosis that leads to brain damage?

El Gato, you are not yet fully red-pilled. You still have some ways to go.

i have looked at it.

this is mostly driven by a change in the diagnosis and definition of autism as opposed to real changes in prevalence.

the links to vaccines are unconvincing.

i know a lot of folks seem enamored of this theory, but it fails to meet anything like the standards of rigor i'd need to be convinced.

this is not a red pill.

it's a bridge too far into assumptive reasoning by fallacy, especially on autoimmune.

there might be a case to be made that vaccine efficacy is overstated and many gains came from sanitation and hygiene, and while there is doubtless truth that it helped, it's also likely the source of auto-immune issues. (hygiene hypothesis)

it just happened to happen at the same time as vaccines.

i get your passion, but save the assumptive hectoring.

They changed the diagnosis and definition of polio, too. I know it's purely anecdotal, but think about all our childhood classrooms, and our parents' childhood classrooms. There were no peanut allergies, there was no autism, there was no ASD stimming and dysregulation. There were behavioral issues, sure, but I am around kids a lot and it doesn't seem the same.

*Something* is going on. What is it? It's not one thing, but there was a HUGE increase in the number of shots given, from the 70s to the 90s. And kids are not okay.

Expand full comment

there was also a huge increase in cleanliness to the point where child immune systems were not sufficiently challenged day to day by pathogens and bacteria. the immune system does not have a built in down-regulation for such cases and so with nothing to attack, it is more likely to attack the host or over react to begin impulses. that's auto-immune and allergy.

behavioral is down to teaching, parenting, and a raft of REALLY bad science on ADD and depression.

Oh gosh...behavioral is down to teaching? Have you spent any time with anyone in the real hell of living with autism? Which, honestly, almost no one knew about and now everyone does? It’s not parenting. It’s damage. From something. Vaccines or something else, something is damaging our kids at an alarming rate. And it’s not a change in definition. It’s hard to watch you dismiss this so easily.

That’s one hypothesis, but hos can we pull out any of these factors and *know*. There are thousands, tens of thousands, of people who don’t get these shots. There are as many more who have *seen* their children damaged. Some epidemiological study would be possible, if it were allowed. Doesn’t it twitch your whiskers that the same people who promoted the covid shots destroy people who ask these questions?

Expand full comment

I agree with you! But, I think it's more than just the shots. I'm not a scientist and just an observer over my lifetime (like most of us are) and when one looks at the poison food, the shots, the ssri's and other drugs in the water and a whole slew of other things as a whole... we have to admit that one or all of these things is causing this, or at a minimum, contributing to it. We can't just dismiss studies done by several doctors (and I can't remember the one that I believe is in Washington state) that are doing their own trials in their own private clinics and keeping track of the children who do get the shots (the CDC schedule) compared to those who do not and the results are staggering. I come from a long line of ancestors who never received any kind of shot for *anything*. They all lived long (up to 102 years), healthy lives, physically and psychologically. If it wouldn't have been for the military and a coercive employer (flu shot) many years ago, I also would have never taken *any* shots. Vaccines have become a sick religion and not being able to admit that even the so-called "good" shots are causing much of the issues we are seeing in young people is really a testament to that religion and mind screwing/propaganda that we've been getting for years now. I have people in my family with children that were just fine before some of the childhood shots and immediately after became autistic. It's a fact. We watched it happen in real time. How can anyone flippantly say it's not the shots that caused that? We saw it!

I think you’re referring to Dr Paul Thomas. He’s in Portland, Oregon, has a practice of 12,000 kids and co-authored a study showing the fully vaccinated kids in his practice had more diagnoses and office visits when compared to the unvaccinated kids in his practice. His license was stripped immediately by the Oregon Board of Medicine (conveniently Governor appointed Brownshirts). He did receive provisional licensure back to see sick children but cannot do well-child visits because he dared publish a scientific study against the golden calf (vaccines).

Are you certain there was a huge increase in cleanliness between the 1970s and today?

I'm not sure when you were born...? But I was born in the 1960s, and we didn't live in pigsties you know :-).

I see no real difference in overall cleanliness between then and now.

My kids don't wash their hands any more or less than I did, nor do they eschew desirable food items which have been in contact with the ground any more than I did. They still splashed through streams and dug holes in the ground and came home covered in mud.

Neither we, nor any of our friends, dowse our houses in disinfectant. The restaurants we visit don't appear any cleaner. And everyone had indoor toilets in the 1970s and 1980s.

Perhaps here in the US more people have some sort of filtration applied to their air but that certainly doesn't apply to the UK for example where they have seen similar rises in issues.

Can you point to any evidence for this increase in cleanliness? Are you really certain it exists?

Combined with the suppression and censorship of opposing opinions, the coercion of opponents through illegal and immoral acts, and the corrupt manipulation of both regulatory and administrative processes (from the highest levels right down to payments to schoolboard members), it is 100% clear that the people behind these jabs are ruthless, immoral, and corrupt.

Someother things not being considered: 1) how much less time kids spend outside in nature/how much more time they spend indoors (even playing indoors in the ac trampoline parks etc) 2) amount of time driving strapped in a car seat until they are 16 to and from adult directed activities 3) the number of adult directed activities has skyrocketed. You don’t find the neighborhood kids playing ball on their own learning critical social skills. 4) autism used to be a diagnosis only made by neurologist or psychiatrist, now LLSP, general pediatrician, etc can slap that label on a kid and it is usually because they are a “late talker”. 5) developmental norms have changed. It used to be considered within normal range if a kid started talking closer to 3, but now, if a kid doesn’t have 1st words by 12 months, they are given a referral to a SLP for speech therapy thanks to professional organizations like ASHA, APTA, AOTA etc. Autism explosion is soooooooooo multifaceted

I taught special ed and have 2 cases of autism in my extended family. Most of the list you created are indeed sad and can play into the whole thing but by & large, spending too much time in a car seat and not enough time outdoors and so on, does not create autism. And yea, it’s easier and more trigger-happily labelled these days, nonetheless, the spectrum was and is skyrocketing at almost the exact rate of the skyrocketing vax schedule. Our generation had maybe 5 vax. These kids kid 64-72 doses by the time they are 18, and now colleges are requiring covid. We are creating zombies. Nations who are equally busy and have similar outdoor time, etc. but have cut down the sheer volume of vax and have also elected

to administer them at a

later age are faring far better. The CDC doesn’t make this easy to look into but the info is out there.

I also grew up in the 60s-70s. I am a therapist and I work regularly with children labeled autistic. They range the spectrum of ability. There has been a dramatic change and increase in the type and numbers of children with that label over the last 30+ years. I have had precious clients who were just late talkers with that label. I had a very social smart nonverbal client (who was the purest verbal apraxia I had ever seen with 0 physical or social deficits) who had that label. My son has a best friend who was labeled autistic at 18 months but as a young adult is a functional human being who shows no signs of being autistic. I don’t believe autistic tendencies are typically outgrown. I also have a son who I could have easily had diagnosed as aspbergers when that was still a label. I chose not to because he is functional and I have the practical knowledge to have helped him learn how to navigate the world. He is also a young adult and amazingly intelligent and equally awkward at times,(especially in a world as inconsistent and gray as we now have) but he is high functioning so I don’t think he needs a label. I don’t believe that there is 1 and only 1 reason a child receives that label. I believe it is way more complex than that. I obviously offended you by my thoughts.

Your lack of real scientific research knowledge offended me. All the examples you listed are often signs of neurological injury. The plethora of factual data on vaccine injury is so overwhelming at this point I strongly urge you to read all the links and books or studies mevtioned by those of us who did the reading and followed the research. It sounds like you were a great therapist but you haven’t done the actual research. Yes many kids who are deficient do come out of it. But the damage is there. It’s not a coincidence. There’s a famous book called Crooked Eyes by a neurologist. Find that book. It’s damning. Once seen these facts cannot be unseen. Read the White pages on ICAN ( Del bigtrees org ) read dr Exleys studies. Read Andrew Wakefield. Go to Lois Fishers organization.

You are right. There are some studies comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated people. Turns out unvaccinated people are much ealthier and have much lower rates of allergies, asthma, immune dysregulation, ADHD etc.

The argument from Gato Malo regarding "huge increase in cleanliness" is correct in some way. But since unvaccinated are much healthier (even in the same families, the unvaccinated are much healthier according to doctors who investigated this), it clearly shows or indicates that the vaccines seem to be (in part) responsible for the increase in several diseases.

You have gotten stopped at all the usual spots. That's why you need someone to walk you through each sticking point.

The California autism data show that it is a real change in prevalence.

We have the mechanisms for vaccine-induced autism and epi data, too.

In the West vaccines are used primarily for morbidity, as Armstrong et al. show. It was sanitation, better nutrition, reduced over-crowding and these sorts of interventions that reduced infectious disease mortality.

It's not hygiene for allergies, it's the aluminum. See Dr. Paul Thomas' pediatric data set with 30x more allergic rhinitis in fully vaccinated kids vs. non-vaccinated kids.

Stabell-Benn and Aaby show that inactivated vaccines (usually, those with aluminum adjuvants) weaken general immunity and kill more children than they save in high-disease pressure areas (yes, it's been found in other areas of the world, not just Ginea-Bissau). There has even been the first conference on non-specific effects.

"it just happened to happen at the same time as vaccines."

That's precisely the gaslighting I'm referring to that doctors are famous for. Anything but the vaccines—just like covid ("napping increases the risk of strokes").

Vaccines are designed to produce effects that last a lifetime (or they were, originally) so we should expect to see impressive side effects. And we do. We just don't point the finger at vaccines yet.

California has been tracking only “full-syndrome autistic disorder,” the most severe cases. These would have been essentially impossible to hide four decades ago.

Omsted and Blaxill go back to autism’s roots in the writings of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger and examine everything known about child psychology up to that point, including a survey of Massachusetts “idiots” by Samuel Gridley Howe in the mid-1800s.

It’s simply not possible for there to have been large numbers of individuals with autism—any form of autism—at that point in time and the medical profession simply "missed them." The medical profession did not have enough damaged people *in any relevant category.*

I’m sorry el gato but your statement that it’s just that autism was always there but we didn’t DX it is completely factually incorrect. I don’t know how old you are or if you have kids from 70s / 80s but that’s another narrative they pushed out on the public that you just repeated. We had almost zero autistic kids. Our special Ed classes were VERY small. I’m a SPED expert. Fir 30 years. I’ve done litigation and advocacy. Please read ALL the links snd groups we’ve shared before you respond further to anyone. You’ve got cognitive dissonance respectfully.

But this does not mean that new formulations of the old vaccines were the only cause, surely?

When one eliminates the other causes they like to use ( chemicals in our foods , modern societies influences et AL ) yes it accounts for almost all other “ causation “ the pro vaxx pharma driven proponents use. I would suggest people read dr Exley and Andrew Wakefields studies. Dr Exley is the worlds top aluminum expert. He did a YouTube video ( probably stubbed so check bitchute and other places He discussed doing autopsies on the brains of a statistically significant # of vaccinated severely autistic children and discovering toxic levels of aluminum ( he only focused on that one substance ) in their brains and directly tying it to the actual shots they got since there are ways to discover the same “ signature “ of a vaccine similar to DNA. The body protects the brain barrrier from ingestion of aluminum so it’s been proven that eating tuna fish or other oral sources of aluminum is 99% eliminated from the body and Doesn’t cross the brain barrier. Vaccines are DESIGNED to cross the brain barrier. Not stay in the arm. It’s damning once you look at and read everything. They’ve lied to the public. It’s absolute evil. Go to a chikdrens cemetery. Read the date of birth and death. It’s always : first day of life ( Hep B , vitamin K) 6 weeks , 8 weeks, 12 weeks and on amd on. It follows the vaccine schedule exactly !

The kids are not all right. It’s not a change in definition that’s driving it. Please just keep an open mind about past damage, as well, that many people live with and had swept away and dismissed. Skepticism all around based on the current disaster may well just save the future generation.

If it’s a behavioral diagnosis error, then no one has come close to being able to find out how to diagnose autism yet. How many years have passed since that excuse was used and the rate has multiplied exponentially year after year? And why do the years with the biggest spikes coincide with the years that the childhood vaccine schedule was expanded?

I’ve posted a link to 160 research papers supporting a link between vaccines and autism. Should be more than enough there to at least generate some healthy skepticism.

More people should know about the testimony from whistleblowers as well. Of course, no one would ever find any of this info unless they had reason to start searching for more info.

Hard proof is very hard to come by.

I am familiar with the anti-vaxx arguments but also have not investigated them in great detail. My tentative conclusions were that

- the correlations are concerning, and the absence of hard evidence (which would not be especially difficult to collect) likely indicates Nelsonian Knowledge by those whose responsibility it is to collect such evidence.

- the "proof" that vaccines work is highly questionable as the people who created and advanced that proof are now proven corrupt, liars who have made huge, conserquent financial gains.

The likelihood of previous corruption implies (at least to me) that no vaccines can be trusted even if I cannot be certain they cause harm. And the fact that we have caught the vaccine pushers deploying vaccines in such a way as to cause deliberate harm (see https://infertilitymovie.org/a-diabolical-agenda/) massively increases the likelihood that the same people have committed the same crime previously.

Easy check: the adjuvant blamed for causing autism is the same as is used as a preservative in tatoo inks, an in much, much greater concentration and quantitiy.

So anyone with a even just one or two moderately complex tatoos should be high-risk re: autism. Yet there is zero correlation between tatoos and autism.

Autism is genetic, and complex. It is also massively overdiagnosed and the bar to qualify has been lowered to the level of a joke, due to Karens of both genders not wanting to raise and discipline their children and teach them to behave properly.

One thing I noticed, teaching 'aspies' both real and alleged is this: it's real easy to test for in school.

If the kid with the alleged Aspergers doesn't get easier tasks, lowered bars and all-around greased wheels and mollycoddling, in 9 cases out 10 the Aspergers goes away. Same with ADHD or dyslexia. No special track meaning a softer course = the cure for 9/10 of childhood behavioural disorders.

I noticed this when I started telling students and their parents (if the student was a legal minor) that while I would certainly adapt to the alleged diagnosis, this meant /more/ work for the student and even more work for the parents,since the student still must reach the same minimum level as everyone else, or get a failing grade.

Lo and behold, most everyone's problems cleared up. It's the same with parents demanding special diets. Show me a signed diagnostic from an actual medical doctor - not a note from your ayurveda yogi or from some online test by Dingus, Doofus and Dibbler, esq. Again, 9/10 of all "eating disorders" clears up if the person doesn't get a) attention, b) food.

First, Autism is a disorder developed in early childhood. You can’t develop it as an adult. So the tattoo hypothesis is garbage. Second, my first kid was diagnosed by one psychologist. My second had to go through a gauntlet of professionals, so most places won’t recognize a diagnosis unless it’s done properly. And third, while I recognize many teenagers with high-functioning or mild issues should not be coddled (you are totally right) it’s ridiculous to claim that solves most behavioral issues. And blaming parents is the go-to for people who don’t live in this nightmare and haven’t witnessed their children literally stolen from them and incapable of functioning in their own bodies and minds. From severe to moderate, it’s heartbreaking, and compounded by people who think we’re just coddling our kids or who don’t want to parent them appropriately. It’s insulting. It’s wrong. And if you believe that the government is covering up injuries with its covid jab program, you can’t now ignore the ones who have been screaming for decades and demanding answers as if they’re just Karen’s who need to sit down and listen to the grownups talk about REAL science.

In support of your observations one may cite the mushrooming of conditions with each and every new edition of the DSM. Psychiatric and psychological “disease” is a massive growth industry. On the spectrum of “normal” to “mentally ill” there used to be quite a middle grey zone. This grey zone has been steadily subsumed by the “disease” label.

"this is mostly driven by a change in the diagnosis and definition of autism as opposed to real changes in prevalence"

You're not actually offering this as proof of anything are you? Didn't the CDC change the definition of vaccine, too?

Expand full comment

Yes, as i said above.

I think it would be a more persuasive argument here if you could cite some clinical studies which have been peer reviewed. Whilst I am very concerned about the mRNA gene therapy experiment, I have not found anything substantive to convince me that the vaccines i grew up with throughout the 70s & 80s ever did anything but good.

Caveat here is that formulations MAY have been changed in more recent times, surreptitiously - but, I think that the prevalence of so many hideous chemicals in our environment, food, air and water which are known to cause a wide range of neuro-toxic, endocrine disrupting, carcinogenic - 'every-genic' - along with the low quality of food/diets is far more likely to explain the uptick in all manner of chronic illnesses, conditions or diseases than a conspiracy to cause autism via a vaccine.

Occam's razor here comrades - and don't attack the messenger just because you don't agree. This kind of aggression and myopia is an extension of the outrage-mongering our dear elite have been stoking to keep us immobilised and disunited since time, and it really weakens the rest of our power to co-operate, organise and resist.

Gato malo, you are wrong. You are simply lm missing a large part of this pic.

Think about the following:

The surest and quickest method of inducing neurodevelopmental abnormalities in experimental animals is by exposing them perinatally to immune stressors.

Usually this involves inducing inflammation and viral OR bacterial infection in pregnant dams.

The pathophysiological and behavioural consequences of this are more than a lot sumilar to what we see in human autism.

Moreover these pups are now super vulnerable to future 'immune stressors' - every little encounter will send the over the hyperinflammatory and autoimmune edge, complete with neurological abnormalities, seizures etc.

Again pathological findings in those experimental animal studies - including in primates - are almost identical to what we find in human autism:. Messed up neurology, skewed immunity (primed, sensitised and hyperactive but reduced ability to actually clear pathogens), fkd up macrobiome, youn name it.

Btw family history of autoimmune disease and infection in pregnancy are two biggest confirmed risk factors for autism.

It is not only possible that inflammation in pregnancy and genetic autoimmune risk factors predispose to autism as triggered or worsened by vaccines... it is almost a certainty.

Yes, it's accepted that maternal immune activation (MIA) causes autism. Now, what's the difference between MIA and when the child is outside of the womb? When it's just a few months or even years the difference is almost nothing.

Vargas et al. started showed this in 2005:

Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15546155/

Chronic microglia activation, a sign of immune activity in the brain, has been shown to be common in autism, likely occurring in a minimum of 69% of cases.

Relevance of Neuroinflammation and Encephalitis in Autism

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4717322/

What do vaccines do? They cause inflammation. That's their job or they don't work.

Vaccines inflame or otherwise disrupt the brain in various ways:

• metabolic

• bacterial infective

• viral infective

• toxic

• allergic

• autoimmune

Can autoimmune responses cause neurological issues? Yes, they can:

I am curious about this, too. The research on existing vaccines isn't too impressive - most of it relies on the GRAS grandfathering of previous vaccines.

Here’s some interesting info on measles and the vaccine. As it turns out, the vaccine was given credit for what was already happening naturally. An excerpt from the link below it:

“The first measles vaccine was developed in 1963 in the United States. According to CDC data, even before the vaccine was created, the measles death rate had already declined by over 98% between 1900 and 1960 as living conditions and care improved. In fact, the CDC touts that in the decade before 1963, each year just “an estimated 400 to 500 people died” from measles. This decline in measles mortality had nothing to do with the measles vaccine because the vaccine had not yet been invented.”

They’ve never tested most of the vax against true placebo. They always use ANOTHER vax with the same basic adjuvants. The adjuvants are aluminum, polysorbates (2! and these can break the blood brain barrier which our bodies usually have skin, digestive systems and so on to prevent anything from getting into certain spaces like the BBB, yet we inject these into day old infants?), proteins grown on monkey kidneys, equine, bovine, porcine (porky pig) cells, and of course grown on the 2 aborted babies that have contributed their dna fragments to every vaccine in the childhood schedule—- both a male and a female aborted baby. What could go wrong? Gender confusion? Allergies to peanuts when no one else in the entire family tree ever had allergies? Allergies to pet dander when no one else in the family tree ever had allergies? HUGE jumps in eczema. psoriasis, asthma when no one else in the family tree had these? (Skin rashes usually mean a toxin is trying to get out).

PLS go find Ashley Everly’s FB or telegram pages. She has the

entire list of vaccines and their inert ingredients. She is a biologist and toxicologist with a vax-injured kid. The ingredient lists and the BLACK BOX warnings should be enough to tell you this vax isn’t the first BS screw up they’ve made.

Yes, they do. Zimmerman and Kelley worked primarily with the metabolic phenotype.

"Our clinical experience at Kennedy Krieger Institute over the last 15 years has shown that a deficiency of mitochondrial complex I is a common cause of regressive autism.

...

Regression often can be dated to a specific event, most often a simple childhood illness, such as otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, or viral syndrome, or, rarely, an immunization, most often the MMR vaccine or the former DPT. The common feature of all identified precipitants is inflammation. Regression occurs either acutely during the illness or within 14 days of immunization with the MMR attenuated virus vaccine."

Who knows whether vaccines primarily cause autism? In the '60s and '70s, autism was effectively catatonia. (I'll grant you, even 1/3 of those so labeled being nonverbal is still a massive increase.) Now it's stimming. (As if! Hardly universal amongst those labeled "autistic"). IOW, until it's properly defined, in a way also applicable retrospectively, what "autism" is isn't even properly defined. Okay, it's social deficit. Rigorously define that, please! Until we know what we talk about, assigning blame for it is futile. I'd be far more amenable to blaming ubiquitous peanut allergy on this vaccine rage.

Great post except the comments about how effective and safe previous vaccine are. Look at the inserts for each of them. They are not effective and they are not safe. The same fraud in trials occurred with each and every vaccine on the market. If a blessings has come out of this tragic period of history, it’s been hesitancy on the previous vaccines. More expert eyes on these horrible, old science, long term disease causing injections with no liability is what we have needed for over 30 years.

I was pro vaccine until this vaccine and the research I had to do to get my religious exemption at work. I came to realize in that research that I had just followed along and followed the immunization schedule with my children because that’s what MY parents did. I didn’t question anything. I actually now have regrets for doing that to my children given my son’s Asperger‘s diagnosis and my daughter at 18 months having a tumor removed from her left adrenal gland. The swine flu vaccine was paused in nine states after three people died and shut down altogether after 25 people died ...fast forward to the Covid vaccines and we just keep plugging along… Remember we all had to wear a mask “even if it saves just one life“? What happened to that kind of thinking when it comes to vaccines? The pro-Covid-vax people have a “I’m fine nothing happened to me so therefore the vaccines are safe” kind of selfish thinking. I just can’t believe that there are still vaccine mandates in this country at colleges/universities, the military, and businesses… I have to write a religious exemption request for my daughter starting who is entering her freshman year at a university this fall that still requires it.

Same with regard to the masks - for the most part I refused to wear one. Had to wear one at work. I also lost a friend of over 30 years over the vaccine. When I had reached out to her asking for prayer because my employer had just issued a vaccine mandate and I was terrified she accused me of being fiercely anti-VAX. At that point in time I was only anti-the COVID-19 vax. I guess she didn’t like the fact that I had laughed when she asked me several months earlier if I was going to enter the vaccine lottery that Governor DeWine had created (if you got vaccinated you were entered into a million dollar lottery. Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of at that point.) Because I knew she had gotten the vaccine I kept any kind of anti-vaccine comments to myself and never said anything negative about HER decision...but my laughing at the lottery must’ve really struck a nerve with her.

Whenever folks pull the "I got vaxxed and I'm fine " anecdote, then refer to them the "so I didn't and I'm fine too" one. Two can play that silly game.

Ultimately, no one knows the long-term consequences of getting covid vs. getting vaxxed (and then getting covid, regardless) but if I'm going to make my bet I'll take the former (with some good early treatment). I did as much and I'm fine. I'll admit it was not pleasant (early treatment was not as early as ideal), but c'est la vie - the choice to abstain on this dubious transfection cocktail and take my chances with covid naturally wasn't guaranteed to be a risk-free investment (in my short or long-term immune health) but then nothing is. These covid jabs are certainly not, either.

But if PHE are so willing to obscure the scientific data to this degree during covid and blatantly push this level of 'vaccine' nonsense, one would have to be a fool not to wonder to the degree they've been doing it all along.

I love your work! Truly. The world needs more bad kitties batting around the tough questions that just won't die. BUT, this platitude gave me a great big, concerned pause. "you know why people trusted vaccines for MMR and polio and diphtheria? because as long as you didn’t get some cut rate version from a bill gates crony, they worked. they had long records of safety and efficacy. you got the vax, the side effects were negligible, and you did not get the disease. polio and measles and smallpox went away."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh :-/ Whose gonna tell kitty.....?

Looks like bad kitty needs to do their research on the history of allll vaccines. If kitty is exasperated now....yikes! Can't even imagine how they'll feel when they realize that not one of the liability-free childhood vaccines is or was ever safe, effective, or necessary to advance individual or public health. And that there have been more injuries and deaths attributed in full or in part to those vaccines than kitty could wrap his feline mind around. And those parents and families have been ignored and silenced for decades. DOJ don't play. Ain't nothin' negligible, kitty. You ain't gonna find those "long records of safety and efficacy", but I do urge the Cat to take a long, hard look for 'em. And the history of the SP, MMR, and Polio injections is arguably just as twisted and dark as this "massive carpet of tactical twaddle made up on the fly from dodgy data and dodgier intentions" that we've all just watched unfold before our very eyes.

I agree it’s not a slam dunk and the safety profiles are nothing like the current Covid vaccines. However adverse events do exist and on a greater scale than what is reported in VAERS and I think that’s the point many parents who have dealt with vaccine injury are trying to make. that and what were the actual risks of certain diseases versus the risks of the vaccine because that calculus is very blurry right now.

I don’t know if you’ve watched the WHO meeting from the fall of 2019 where they talked about vaccine hesitancy. It’s somewhat jaw dropping in a lot of ways because they talked about the fact that most of the vaccine hesitant have legitimate questions that do not have answers. They had a discussion about adjuvants and how different adjuvants are selected for different antigens. One health minister from an African country asked how the vaccine manufacturers were so confident there wouldn’t be adverse reactions when administering multiple doses from different companies at the same time using different adjuvants (these things are not tested). There was no answer except for, well we give them in different limbs. Now we know that not every vaccine stays in the injection site. Do we not think this is some thing to study and look at? There are many questions like this that have never been looked at and never been addressed. Not on the scale of this COVID-19 vaccine for sure, but that doesn’t matter when it happens to you or your kid.

While I don’t think vaccines are the sole reason for the explosion of childhood chronic illness and autism rates, I do think they are a contributing factor. Environmental toxins are everywhere and this generation is more toxic than their parents, and their grandparents so on it so forth. So can excessive immune activation cause neuro inflammation and a cascade of other injuries to the body that lead to auto immunity, yes absolutely.

And the last thing I think people get so frustrated with is the 1986 act in the United States. The complete blanket from liability for any vaccine on the childhood schedule. We know this is why they’re pushing it for children so hard in this country because they can never end the UA unless it’s on the schedule so that way this vaccine would be covered under that liability shield. Most people had no idea that this liability shield even existed and it just makes people think and wonder.

Oh, also I learned recently from a discussion between Geert Vanden Bosch and Dell Bigtree that apparently Geert was part of a conversation at the WHO about removing aluminum as an adjuvant because they were aware of its toxicity to the human body. Pharmaceutical companies prevented that from happening but that was some thing I did not know, neither did Dell because he was surprised when Geert mentioned that. Aluminum has long been some thing the vaccine hesitant community has fought against because of Chris Exeley’s work and discovering large deposits of aluminum in the brains of autistic individuals. There are many many pieces to the puzzle but this is an important one I do not think we should just so casually overlook.

What have you "looked at"? The vast swath of research into naturally acquired immunity VS injected antigens, adjuvants, and emulsifiers? The gut/brain/immune axis and how injections throw it into disorder and dysfunction? The early development permeability of the blood brain barrier and the biopersistance of injected aluminum? The history of disease and mortality and morbidity in the western world? The biological consequences of injecting neurotoxins/mutated virueses/foreign human and animal DNA into babies? Insertional mutagenesis? Current rates of chronic disease and neurodevelopmental injury in kiddos these days? The dirty mess behind the curtain of FDA/CDC scientific integrity and ethics? You've looked into all of that and more and still don't get it? Hmm. Kitten needs a nap.

I love Trump but the fact that he shut the economy down at all was the biggest error he ever made...on the word of a proven liar? C'mon...all you needed to do was listen to this man who flip flopped on everything and you wouldn't have taken this vaccine but everyone did...my smart friends rushed for it! They wouldn't consider that there might be serious side effects when they were everywhere.

By the way, KC....the massachusetts department of children and families, our "child protective services" agency decreed in early 2021 that the experimental shot was considered to be "routine medical" and every child unfortunate enough to come into the agency who was (oh goody for them) "eligible" was expected to get it. Turns out that this is the M.O. of DCF; back when the AIDS situation came out and the experimental (and horrendously dangerous and devastating) drug AZT came out as a "savior".....guess what, the Agency ALSO decried that it was to be considered "routine medical". Every single scumbag manager in this state should be on trial for Crimes Against Humanity, and the Agency itself should be shut down. It's despicable.

It doesn't have to be a "dress rehearsal", it can equally just be Fauci being the lowlife that he is, several times over as convenient situations come up, and getting promoted instead of called out over it. Old dogs new tricks, and all that.

While I completely agree that the jowels of the bureaucratic lower levels have been quivering anticipatorially with glee envisioning piles of money.....those at the top levels who are the actual puppet masters are scarily smart. I was a middle manager for a state agency in massachusetts until they fired me at the end of last year for refusing to bow to tyranny. I watched the way the entire scenario rolled out from my vantage point as an insider. Little foundational pieces had been laid out quietly going back twenty years.....and in 2021, the pieces clicked all together. The statewide health insurance mandate across the entire population came from a rhino governor (Romney) and was embraced by the majority, a clever 'nonpartisan' strategy. At the time, the CURRENT rhino governnor (Baker) was up to his neck in both the health insurance industry (as CEO of Harvard Pilgram) and the tech industry, which was where he started out.....and a bosom buddy of the Romster. This mandate flipped the switch on the electronic medical record system that began being assembled behind the scenes...without the knowledge of the citizenry of massachusetts. The state's top five priorities, posted year after year from that point on, always listed electronic infrastructure as #1....but there was never any publicity paid to this, and only those of us who were involved in finance even bothered to read the voluminous reports, which detailed a whole lot of stuff that didn't seem to even be happening. Fast forward a decade, and good old Charlie registered his private corporation with the secretary of state called "CDBII Partners LLC" ( ID 001112765) whose activities were "to provide management services primarily to healthcare organizations". This company, with very little information about its actual activities available anywhere, has been in existance throughout his tenure as governor....despite the appearance of a conflict of interest. In early 2020 right when the plandemic was announced, quiet reports about Baker partnering with a little-known tech company to "pilot the rollout of a contact tracing system" across the state began popping up in financial and tech media articles. Then....in August of 2021, Baker mandated a decree that all exec branch state employees take the experimental shots as a condition of employment AND voluntarily enter their personal information into a state-operated app. Which, it turned out, interfaced with the behind-the-scenes medical record network. Employees who made up bogus lot numbers ended up getting their information bounced back as "unverifiable". - On the day that the state agencies announced the mandate to their employees, all the Unions announced same to their membership.....and it turned out that the Union bosses had been called into an "emergency" meeting the night before with the Secretary of Health and Human Services where they were TOLD that this mandate was not negotiable, and there was no bargaining. No options. At the meeting with the top managers in my agency, our commissioner informed us about the mandates, and also admitted that those "rare few" who would be granted religious exemptions would also be required to volunteer their personal information into the database. Turns out that in my agency of just over 4000 staff, around 700 people submitted religious exemptions. NOT ONE was approved for accommodation of 100% remote work, an accommodation that had already been proven to be both reasonable and an established precendent for the prior 18 months. - In retrospect, every step of the way really seemed like a well-orchestrated plan being laid out. Too many "coincidences" to be random. And, after seeing all the patents on file for the coronavirus, the spike protein, the mRNA, et al...and the videos with the world economic forum and panels of "experts" (including Bill Gates, who isn't an expert in anything other than making money) with their plandemic drills happening in the months before the whole thing started, it definitely feels like it was all too well coordinated to be just a bunch of people all taking advantage of random opportunities to make a lot of money on a big misfortune.

The trust was violated a long time ago. If ordinary vaccines worked so well, why does everyone now need 4 shots, say, for MMR? Instead of the 2 shots that us Gen Xers got as kids? There are so many more questions like this.

I'm somewhat agnostic on the value of most preventative vaccines -- in that sense I am not a true antivaxxer -- but it seems unassailable that they simply aren't responsible for the vast, vast decreases in mortality from infectious disease over the last two centuries.

It feels to me like a lot of people on "our side" are still bargaining.

There are only a few bad apples...

We can fix the system...

If the good people were in place this wouldn't have happened... we'd still be living in a world where the rivers are made of chocolate and the clouds are cotton candy and none of the children are suffering from the highest levels of chronic illness in history, and are laughing and playing and dancing with gumdrop smiles...

Yep. Most of the reduction in mortality from infectious disease that has been ascribed to mass vaccination is really do to much more basic improvements in infrastructure. Things like widespread access to clean water. The arrow of time is a thing, and the mortality reductions generally preceded vaccination by a substantial span of time.

Expand full comment

well, sort of.

OTOH, when a bunch of jenny mcarthy addled marin mommies stopped getting their kids the MMR vaxx, they got measles outbreaks in places there had not been a single case in decades.

it was small (because ~95% of kids and nearly all adults around them were vaxxed) but it does crop up.

note also that a lot of the rise in survival was due to better care as well. treatments for many diseases, even if just access to IV etc went way up.

the fact that morality was dropping anyway is clear, but this does not mean vaccines do not work.

i am not aware of a single case of someone with full MMR inoculation (2 doses) getting measles (unless severely immuno suppressed and nothing will work then) are you?

yet remove them and cases start to pop up.

Let's assume MMR reduces the incidence of measles, for the sake of argument.

Now what? Measles is about as dangerous as covid.

Expand full comment

That opens a whole other question, which is the mania for vaccinating against viruses that aren't generally life-threatening, e.g. the flu shot. If you're talking something with high mortality, it's fairly easy to make the case that the risk/reward balance falls in favour of vaccination (assuming, that is, that the double-blind testing was done honestly, e.g. the placebo wasn't a needle full of adjuvants, which, yeah.)

On the other other hand, when you're talking about a common childhood illness with essentially zero mortality (e.g., chickenpox), then your product needs to be exceptionally safe to pass muster. Further, there's the issue of whether, in not getting infected with the wild virus, the child actually misses out on an important biological process. In some cases they could be getting something valuable from that infection.

Yes. Childhood cancers are through the roof compared to 50 years ago. Hygiene hypothesis is not responsible for that one! Febrile infections have been inversely correlated with cancer rates for a couple of hundred years, though, and we understand some of the mechanisms now.

Expand full comment

My older sisters (eldest is from 1961) all had measles as children, one even had chicken pox concurrently and got some mention in the medical annals.... My understanding is that natural immunity was and is still superior and if allowed to circulate as a childhood disease it does little damage and tops up herd immunity much more effectively. But if you have a bunch of people who were not exposed to the virus because of mass vaccination, you will have outbreaks. Still, how many people die from these outbreaks in developed countries and is it worth the side effects from vaccines when a good immune system could do better without the risks? It’s not to me, not anymore. Not when it’s your child and it is my child. Why do we not teach people to strengthen their health?

Expand full comment

I don’t know this for sure but vaccinations for rubella and mumps seem to be the only ones that are essential since getting those diseases in adulthood can be catastrophic, rubella for a pregnant woman and mumps for a teenage boy. So what if someone gets regular measles or chickenpox? Almost nonexistent mortality in children. And then if they get those diseases they really do have a lifetime immunity, plus a pregnant mother with natural immunity can give her developing baby immunity. It’s the aluminum adjuvants in vaccines that should be tested and trialed and never give a baby more than one or two vaccines at a time, never when they’re sick, try to wait til after age 3, and don’t give them Tylenol before and after the shots. And childhood vaccinations have NOT been rigorously tested over decades, go reread the literature.

I wondered why in early grade school they subjected us to a full-court press to get the German measles vaccine; how it blinded the infected, etc. I'd already had German measles, rubella, chickenpox and mumps; in fact, was just back in the classroom after recovering from one of those last two. Seems the measles vaccine had just been introduced. How did I manage to see the blackboard and the Dick & Jane books? Was it hyped? Granted, my sister and I spent our vacation in the summer of 1962 in a basement so we wouldn't get exposed to harmful amounts of sunlight.

I don't really know the subject in enough detail tbh, but I'd be very surprised if there were literally zero cases of fully inoculated children catching a given virus.

Expand full comment

That's interesting. I was born in 75. How old are you? I'm pretty sure I got two MMR shots as a kid.

It's very difficult to make safe vaccines. The aluminum is added as a danger signal. You need it to get the desired immune response. That's why it's added. I'm therefore skeptical there is really any such thing as a safe vaccine, especially when you start piling shot on top of shot and increasing the total body burden of highly toxic elements that aren't kept out of systemic circulation by the digestive system, often in a huge bolus.

I don't think therapeutic vaccines, such as the one I manufacture, are entirely safe either. But the risk/reward ratio is completely and totally different. Most of the people being treated are suffering from debilitating morbidity or they are terminally ill. In that context it makes sense that you would take a risk with a therapy that has a 0.1% or 1% chance of causing systemic inflammatory response syndrome, etc.

Expand full comment

this seems like an iffy standard as literally everything has risks.

looked at the same way, is any water or food truly "safe"?

it's all risk/benefit. i mean, no one would get shots if they did nothing just as you would not eat food that might have some level of pesticide or drink water than might have heavy metals unless it also conferred benefit.

nothing in the world is "entirely safe."

Expand full comment

Of course. Totally agreed. But if you argue that preventative vaccines work... let's just accept this premise (even though I don't)... you actually have to *conduct* a risk benefit analysis.

There are game theoretic aspects to this, argue the maxx vaxxers. i.e. If incidence and mortality are quite low at a given point in time, people who don't vaxx are "free riders" whose luck will eventually run out.

Keep looking. NO NET POSITIVE. Every injection does harm. Vaccination is not immunization.

Me thinks you might not understand Wakefiled's original scientific questioning. He studied a group of kiddos with PDD "pervasive developmental disorder" IE today's ASD. Major changes after MMR. These kiddos also had polyps in their colons which housed the live measles virus..... that was really curious. Points to Gut/Brain/Immune axis dysregulation. What could causes it?!?! Also, why does the MMR seem to be the gateway to brain injury from injection? Well, because you spent the first 12-15 months of the babies life injecting "dead" vaccines packed with neurotoxic adjuvants, which are scattered and attached to the macrophages in the body, then BAM! 3 live virus vaccine hits the child's immune system, activate several immune function mechanisms that are bogged down with toxic aluminum, and the gut/brain/immune axis pathways are now toxic highways. Don't forget that permeable blood brain barrier. The biological mechanisms of vaccine injury are complex and multi layered. Every injection does harm. The innate immune system is being dysregulated from birth. This is one slice of the pie, but a BIG ONE. Gotta turn the genetic susceptibility, MTHFR, c-section and the babies gut microbiome, formula, and acetaminophen rocks over too, dude. Keep looking!

mostly, the drops in death rates preceded vaccines.

it was better nutrition, better medical care, and better hygiene.

but sharp declines also came after.

the biggest issue is that deaths are not a great measure of vaxx efficacy.

now it's basically gone. even 1-2 cases cropping up makes the news.

Expand full comment

The problem here is that it's actually a bit difficult to make a risk benefit analysis. Back in the 50s, a few hundred kids died of measles in the US every year. Today, about 10 people die from the measles vaccine every year that are obvious, but... how much morbidity are these vaccines causing? Are there vax deaths that aren't obvious? And in altering epidemiology in this way, what are the hidden trade-offs (such as rises in childhood cancer due to suppression of febrile childhood illnesses)? Etc.

These really aren't easy questions to answer actually. But I suspect (again, it's a suspicion, not anything like a proven hypothesis) that the dramatic decline in febrile childhood illnesses, *whatever* the cause (vaccines or not) is causing thousands of deaths yearly from childhood cancer. So is that worth it to save a few hundred kids from measles? Personally, I'd say no. If I had a kid, I would rather it have measles and die in a day or two rather than go slowly with cancer. Also if I had kids that's a risk I'd *probably* be willing to take with my present knowledge and investigation.

Yes, there are some very powerful factors responsible for this and I doubt we even know what they all are. Take Strep pyogenes, which has no vaccine... unless it's a therapeutic vaccine like the one I make, Coley's toxins. (Interestingly Strep products were stiff-armed by the FDA for about 34 years for really no reason at all, til 2006...)

Many strains possessing superantigens that cause scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, and erysipelas strongly declined.... even before the advent of antibiotics. Viral respiratory illnesses aren't exactly the same in that sanitation seems to do little. You could argue that sanitation alone is responsible for the decrease in virulence, but I'm not so sure.

Burkas prevent vitamin D production. Bathing suits that expose more skin allowed more vitamin D production. A cultural preference for tanning reduces vitamin D production.

Where do I start? Well, I am vaccine injured from the polio jab. Almost died when I was 3 months old in 1957. After my 4th jab, I developed spinal meningitis, was quarantined and couldn't walk for a while. I was 8 years old. After that I developed to this day - serious gut issues that make me avoid food. Gut issues for 60 years. Family members are vaccine injured as well. 1961 jabs caused allergies to fish/nuts/milk/you-name-it. 1968 jabs caused a lifetime of Tourette's. 1995 jabs caused seizures and then diabetes Most of my tax clients' kids are sick as shit. I have seen more medical records for 3 year olds with cancer in the past 7 years than I care to count. Cancers, seizures, autism, allergies, asthma, emotional disorders, skin issues, gut problems, you name it. And this was BEFORE the death jab was introduced in Dec 2020. Colleagues kids are sick as shit as well. MORE young ones with CANCER. St. Jude is a self-fulfilling hospital. Ever noticed how the birth rate is declining but children's hospitals are springing up like weeds? In 2019, my local hospital put in a new pediatric unit to deal with seizures. Because the demand for services to treat childhood seizures (can you day Dtap?) has escalated immensely. I have a colleague whose 5 year old grandson does not walk or talk. He is under the "care" of CHOP, a vaccine whorehouse. Of course the doctors tell her that her grandson has a "unique genetic code." Code for bullshit. Vaccines are processed like wars. Destroy something (in this case, start with the immune system) and then pay out the wazoo to rebuild it. Read "Dissolving Illusions" Polio, et al were eradicated before the introduction of the medical wonder jabs. The BEST thing that happened out of this clusterfuck plandemic was for the powers that be to call this death jab a "vaccine" AND for people to then start questioning vaccines.

Unvaxxed 6 yr old daughter healthy until my trusted DO convinced me to vaxx her with “ SAFE “ DtAP. Within months she got permenent severe RA ! On federal disability. Before internet. I had no idea beyond “ A shot in the dark “ and mendolsons book. We were told it was a hot lot. I didn’t know about Lois fisher. Thank GOD in a way for this VIDS and Plandemic. It’s waking most people up. FINALLY. Ty for your comments !

Oh, the statin thing is a really provocative rabbit hole to explore :)

Here is a long time editor of a top med journal NEJM:

"it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines"

Here is link to a longer discussion:

“they had long records of safety and efficacy. you got the vax, the side effects were negligible, and you did not get the disease. polio and measles and smallpox went “

Tell that to my niece who has to take medicine every day and eat an extremely restrictive keto diet at 8 years old because she started having seizures after her MMR shot at 5. Her Iowa city docs told my bro “don’t vaccinate your other kids.” Do you think there is a vaers report for this?!

The same ass holes who tell you the Covid vaccines are safe are the same ass holes who tell you the other ones are safe.

Just curious how long after MMR the seizures started? My daughter also developed epilepsy six months after her second MMR and at first I didn’t listen to my antivaxxer friends that there might be a link. Now I’m not at all sure that there isn’t. She is also a pharma slave on daily meds, though we don’t bother with the keto diet because she needs the meds no matter what. We consider ourselves comparatively lucky, but let me tell you the whole thing was and is a fucking nightmare.

All public health, DEI, and ESG “experts” are regime court eunuchs. They all support the party’s current thing and push it on others.

El Gato Malo, I urge you to read RFK Jr's book The Real Doctor Fauci. He talks about these allegedly "safe vaccines" and how NONE of them have ever had a true safety test.

He discusses how shortly after 1986 when the National Childhood Vaccination Act was passed - when vaccine manufacturers were all cleared of any liability - how autism, chronic illnesses, nut allergies, diabetes and other autoimmune disorders began their meteoric ride.

And unlike Scarf Lady's posturing book, RFK Jr's is all thoroughly documented. Eye opening and infuriating!

it's mostly hygiene hypothesis driving autoimmune, not vaccines.

What reason is there to believe that the immune system when not being challenged would turn on itself rather than, say, lie dormant?

Expand full comment

I got to read more on the hygiene hypothesis but having a kid in daycare be sick for 3 years straight doesn't lend itself to the idea their immune system isn't being challenged. hmm any obersvational studies on kids at daycare vs those at home who perhaps would be challenged less?

Yeah, no kidding. All my friends with kids in daycare get sick every couple of weeks.

And how on earth can anyone prove this? I seriously doubt RCTs were performed on this.

A naturally-occurring experiment in fact was studied in the Karelia region of Finland and Russia.

el gato perhaps you wouldnt be so sure about polio if you read this, fraud has been going on for longer than my lifetime:

1824: Metal workers had suffered for centuries from a paralysis similar to polio caused by the lead and arsenic in the metals they were working with. English scientist John Cooke observed: 'The fumes from these metals, or the receptance of them in solution into the stomach, often causes paralysis.'

1890: Lead arsenate pesticide started to be sprayed in the US up to 12 times every summer to kill codling moth on apple crops.

1892: Polio outbreaks began to occur in Vermont, an apple growing region. In his report the Government Inspector Dr. Charles Caverly noted that parents reported that some children fell ill after eating fruit. He stated that 'infantile paralysis usually occurred in families with more than one child, and as no efforts were made at isolation it was very certain it was non-contagious' (with only one child in the family having been struck).

1907: Calcium arsenate comes into use primarily on cotton crops.

1908: In a Massachusetts town with three cotton mills and apple orchards, 69 children suddenly fell ill with infantile paralysis.

1909: The UK bans apple imports from the States because of heavy lead arsenate residues.

1921: Franklin D. Roosevelt develops polio after swimming in Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. Toxicity of water may have been due to pollution run-off.

1943: DDT is introduced, a neurotoxic pesticide. Over the next several years it comes into widespread use in American households. For example, wall paper impregnated with DDT was placed in children's bedrooms.

1943: A polio epidemic in the UK town of Broadstairs, Kent is linked to a local dairy where cows were washed down with DDT.

1944: Albert Sabin reports that a major cause of sickness and death of American troops based in the Philippines was poliomyelitis. US military camps there were sprayed daily with DDT to kill mosquitoes. Neighboring Philippine settlements were not affected.

1944: NIH reports that DDT damages the same anterior horn cells that are damaged in infantile paralysis.

1946: Gebhaedt shows polio seasonality correlates with fruit harvest.

1949: Endocrinologist Dr Morton Biskind, a practitioner and medical researcher, found that DDT causes 'lesions in the spinal cord similar to human polio.'

1950: US Public Health Industrial Hygiene Medical Director, J.G. Townsend, notes the similarity between parathion poisoning and polio and believes that some polio might be caused by eating fruits or vegetables with parathion residues.

1951: Dr. Biskind treats his polio patients as poisoning victims, removing toxins from food and environment, especially DDT contaminated milk and butter. Dr. Biskind writes: 'Although young animals are more susceptible to the effects of DDT than adults, so far as the available literature is concerned, it does not appear that the effects of such concentrations on infants and children have even been considered.'

1949-1951: Other doctors report they are having success treating polio with anti toxins used to treat poisoning, dimercaprol and ascorbic acid. Example: Dr. F. R. Klenner reported: 'In the poliomyelitis epidemic in North Carolina in 1948 60 cases of this disease came under our care... The treatment was massive doses of vitamin C every two to four hours. Children up to four years received vitamin C injection intramuscularly... All patients were clinically well after 72 hours.'

1950: Dr. Biskind presents evidence to the US Congress that pesticides were the major cause of polio epidemics. He is joined by Dr. Ralph Scobey who reported he found clear evidence of poisoning when analyzing chemical traces in the blood of polio victims.

Comment: This was a no no. The viral causation theory was not something to be questioned. The careers of prominent virologists and health authorities were threatened. Biskind and Scobey's ideas were subjected to ridicule.

1953: Clothes are moth-proofed by washing them in EQ-53, a formula containing DDT.

1953: Dr. Biskind writes: 'It was known by 1945 that DDT was stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in their milk... yet far from admitting a causal relationship between DDT and polio that is so obvious, which in any other field of biology would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite this overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander, and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign.'

1954: Legislation recognizing the dangers of persistent pesticides is enacted, and a phase out of DDT in the US accelerates along with a shift of sales of DDT to third world countries.

(Note that DDT is phased out at the same time as widespread polio vaccinations begin. Saying that, polio cases sky rocket only in communities that accept the polio vaccine, as the polio vaccine is laced with heavy metals and other toxins, so the paralysis narrative starts all over again. As the polio vaccines cause huge spikes in polio, the misinformed public demand more polio vaccine and the cycle spirals skyward exponentially)

1956: the American Medical Association mandated that all licensed medical doctors could no longer classify polio as polio. All polio diagnosis would be rejected in favor of Guillian-Barre Syndrome, AFP (acute flaccid paralysis), Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, ALS, (Lou-Gehrig's Disease), MS, MD etc etc. This sleight of hand was fabricated with the sole intent of giving the public the impression that the polio vaccine was successful at decreasing polio or eradicating polio. The public bought this hook, line and sinker and to this very day, many pro vaccine arguments are ignited by the manufactured lie regarding the polio vaccine eradicating polio.

1962: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is published.

1968: DDT registration cancelled for the US.

2008: Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is still a raging in many parts of the world where pesticide use is high, and DDT is still used. AFP. MS, MD, Bell's Palsy, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Guillian-Barre are all catch basket diagnosis, all similar in symtpoms, tied to heavy metal poisoning and high toxic load.

2008: WHO states on its website: 'There is no cure for polio. Its effects are irreversible.'

Conclusion: Modern belief that polio is caused by a virus is an ongoing tragedy for the children of the world. Public funds are wasted on useless and dangerous vaccines when the children could be treated with antitoxins. A call into failing vaccine mythology is warranted, as is a complete investigation of the real agenda being executed against humanity involving science, chemicals, vaccines, the medical field in general, and the government.

I saw a graph of polio incidence overlaid with DDT and other pesticide applications and roll outs. It was one to one.

big thanks for the research

This goes back to the Flexner Report. Allopathic medicine vs homeopathic/osteopathic medicine. Guess which one Rockefeller funded (and why).
