Hepatitis B Vaccine

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Becky Hastings

Does a brand new human need an injection of Hepatitis B vaccine?

The Hepatitis B vaccine is a good vaccine for new parents to start researching, because the CDC, most hospitals, and doctors will recommend that your baby receive this shot in the first day or days after birth. It is critically important for parents to understand the facts about both the disease and the vaccine.

This 10 minute video by the ThinkTwice Global Vaccine Institute is based on information from the Vaccine Safety Manual by Neil Z. Miler. Important issues are clearly outlined with references to published scientific data.

The highest risk groups for Hepatitis B viral infection are heterosexuals engaging in sex with multiple partners, prostitutes, active homosexuals, and IV drug users.

Infants and children are at very low risk for Hepatitis B infection. Less than 1% of all cases of Hepatitis B in the U.S. are among children under 15 years. If the intent for the vaccine was to provide life-long protection to those who may develop Hepatitis B later in life, research shows that among those who mount an initial response to Hepatitis B vaccination, up to 50% have no evidence of immunity as soon as five years after completing the three-shot series. For infants vaccinated at birth, any benefit is gone well before they would become sexually active or use IV drugs.

There are two different single Hepatitis B vaccines available. Hepatitis B is also commonly added by manufacturers in combination vaccines, such as Pediarix (A combination vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, and polio.) Notice an excerpt of the Pediarix ingredients: “Each 0.5-mL dose contains aluminum salts as adjuvant (not more than 0.85 mg aluminum by 14 assay) and 4.5 mg of sodium chloride. Each dose also contains ≤100 mcg of residual formaldehyde and ≤100 mcg of polysorbate 80 (Tween 80).”)

Engerix-B

“Each 0.5-mL pediatric/adolescent dose contains 10 mcg of HBsAg adsorbed on 0.25 mg aluminum as aluminum hydroxide.”

“ENGERIX-B contains the following excipients: Sodium chloride (9 mg/mL) and phosphate buffers (disodium phosphate dihydrate, 0.98 mg/mL; sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, 0.71 mg/mL).”

An important point to note is that the Hep B vaccine was followed for 5 days in safety trials.

“Dr. Stanley Plotkin, widely considered the world’s leading authority on vaccines, is questioned [under oath] by ICAN Lead Attorney Aaron Siri, Esq. about the pre-licensure safety testing of the Hepatitis B vaccine, a vaccine given to babies in their first days of life in the U.S. FDA Documents reveal the vaccine was followed for safety for just five days in the trials.” https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/hepatitis-b-vaccine-safety-tested-for-just-five-days/

Recombivax HB

Is produced from cultures of yeast. Soy, formaldehyde, and aluminum are among the ingredients used in the formulation. Each .5 ml of the vaccine contains .25 mcg. Babies are given .5mL dose which would contain .25 mcg of aluminum. It is recommended to give 3 doses at 0, 1 and 6 months. (VPI, Page 1) After receiving all three doses, babies would have received .75 mcg of aluminum. There have been no scientific studies on the impact of aluminum on an infant. One study showed that the aluminum was not immediately found in either blood or urine. The conclusion was not explored: where is the aluminum? Since the aluminum was not excreted, it must be in the organs, bones or brain.

Neither version of the Hepatitis B vaccine has been evaluated for its carcinogenic (does it cause cancer?) or mutagenic potential (does it impact the genetic potential?), or its potential to impair fertility. You can read this in the vaccine package insert under section 13.1. Follow the link or see the copied information at the end of this blog. https://www.fda.gov/media/119403/download?attachment

Have there been any adverse reactions to the Hepatitis B vaccine?

Engerix Post Marketing Experience (page 8)

“This list includes serious adverse events or events that have a suspected causal connection to components of ENGERIX-B. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to the vaccine.

Infections and Infestations: Herpes zoster, meningitis.

Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Thrombocytopenia.

Immune System Disorders: Allergic reaction, anaphylactoid reaction, anaphylaxis. An apparent hypersensitivity syndrome (serum sickness-like) of delayed onset has been reported days to weeks after vaccination, including: arthralgia/arthritis (usually transient), fever, and dermatologic reactions such as urticaria, erythema multiforme, ecchymoses, and erythema nodosum.

Nervous System Disorders: Encephalitis, encephalopathy, migraine, multiple sclerosis, neuritis, neuropathy including hypesthesia, paresthesia, Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bell’s palsy, optic neuritis, paralysis, paresis, seizures, syncope, transverse myelitis.”

The incidence of diabetes rose 60% in New Zealand following a massive Hepatitis B vaccine campaign.

VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) has (as of May 2016) 36,788 officially reported adverse reactions to the Hepatitis B vaccine. 14,800 were serious resulting in hospital stays, or life threatening. 781 people died.

Is the Hepatitis B vaccine effective? 3 doses are required. The duration of the protective effect is unknown. NEJM showed that antibody declined sharply or no longer existed in 42% of recipients after 5 years.

When the Hepatitis B vaccine was first introduced for infants in 1994, 87% of pediatricians and family practice physicians did not believe it was needed by their newborn patients.

Why is the Hepatitis B vaccine given to newborns?

Early Hepatitis B vaccination strategy was targeting and limited to high risk individuals. The vaccine was not well received by this target population group. Since authorities were not able to get high risk groups to accept the vaccine, they decided to target babies who were easily accessible via baby wellness appointments.

Since babies are unlikely to contract Hepatitis B and vaccine efficacy declines after a few years, babies are currently being exposed to all the risks of this injection for zero expected benefit

Vaccine exemptions are available. In 47 states you are allowed a religious and/or philosophical exemption. You can submit your letter of exemption in lieu of proof of vaccination for school entrance.

In California, Mississippi, and West Virginia you must have a medical exemption in order for your child to attend school without this vaccine. However, if you live in those states, my personal recommendation would be to delay the vaccines as long as possible while praying and working with others to change the legislation to allow freedom of choice. Where there is risk, and there is great risk with the Hepatitis B vaccine, there MUST be a choice.

Babies are precious. As parents, we are entrusted with their care. All vaccine manufacturers carry no liability if our child suffers any vaccine damage. We need to make sure we base our decision on facts.

Below you will find brief excerpts from the vaccine package insert for one of the Hepatitis B vaccines. All vaccine package inserts are available on the FDA website. See link below.

11 DESCRIPTION

“RECOMBIVAX HB Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant) is a sterile suspension of non-infectious subunit viral vaccine derived from HBsAg produced in yeast cells. A portion of the hepatitis B virus gene, coding for HBsAg, is cloned into yeast, and the vaccine for hepatitis B is produced from cultures of this recombinant yeast strain according to methods developed in the Merck Research Laboratories.”

“The antigen is harvested and purified from fermentation cultures of a recombinant strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the gene for the adw subtype of HBsAg. The fermentation process involves growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on a complex fermentation medium which consists of an extract of yeast, soy peptone, dextrose, amino acids and mineral salts. The HBsAg protein is released from the yeast cells by cell disruption and purified by a series of physical and chemical methods. The purified protein is treated in phosphate buffer with formaldehyde and then coprecipitated with alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) to form bulk vaccine adjuvanted with amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate. Each dose contains less than 1% yeast protein. The vaccine produced by the Merck method has been shown to be comparable to the plasma-derived vaccine in terms of animal potency (mouse, monkey, and chimpanzee) and protective efficacy (chimpanzee and human).”

“The vaccine against hepatitis B, prepared from recombinant yeast cultures, is free of association with human blood or blood products.”

“All formulations contain approximately 0.5 mcg of aluminum (provided as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, previously referred to as aluminum hydroxide) per mL of vaccine. In each formulation, hepatitis B surface antigen is adsorbed onto approximately 0.5 mg of aluminum (provided as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate) per mL of vaccine. The vaccine contains <15 mcg/mL residual formaldehyde. The vaccine is of the adw subtype. (Page 6-7)”

RECOMBIVAX HB has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or its potential to impair fertility. (Page 7)

Are You Prepared for Vaccines?

Posted on April 19, 2016 by Becky Hastings

If you are preparing for your baby’s next well baby visit, you probably know about the shots. The CDC recommends vaccines against infectious illnesses and most are given as a series of shots starting at the 2 month well baby visit (Hepatitis B shots are recommended at birth for all infants). There is a lot of conflicting information available on the topic of vaccines. While the CDC, the media, and many doctors claim vaccines are safe and effective, many parents are convinced the shots caused harm to their baby. There are some good ways to reduce the possibility of vaccine harm. Please read the whole list, because there are many important points at the end, but I didn’t know the order to put them in, or which might be the most important for YOU to know.

Be informed. Make sure you know which shots are being recommended for your baby. Keep your own records so that you can make sure your baby is never given duplicate shots. Administrative errors do happen.
Record the batch numbers of the vaccines given to your baby. A batch number is provided by the manufacturer in order to keep track of possible reactions.
Apply ice immediately, or ASAP, to the injection site.
Avoid acetaminophen, aka TYLENOL (USA) or PARACETAMOL (SA, UK), no matter who recommends it. Acetaminophen/Tylenol/Paracetamol depletes glutathione which is critically important in the role of detoxing the brain. Please research this, especially if your health professional recommends giving a product containing acetaminophen. Carefully read the contents of all OTC drugs. You will be surprised at how many contain acetaminophen. More details on Acetaminophen here.
Give high doses of Vitamin C before, and long-term after. Vitamin C is perfectly safe and can reduce some negative symptoms. Toddlers and babies can be given 1 g/day of sodium ascorbate spread throughout the day or give 2 times the RDI/day of a Vitamin C Complex. See Dr Suzanne Humphries for excellent information on safe use of Vitamin C. I’ve summarized vitamin C dose recommendations here.
Give probiotics for at least 2 weeks afterwards. Add probiotic foods to family meals.
Breastfeed as much as possible. Continue with breastfeeding for as long as possible. Breast milk is full of probiotics and many other factors that are critically important to boost your baby’s immune system. Nursing a baby at the breast is beneficial for comfort and healing. Many mothers find their baby wants to nurse nearly constantly after receiving shots.
Take a full-face photograph of your child BEFORE the vaccine. Many subtle signs of vaccine injury can be clearly seen in the face immediately, or in the days following the injections, if we are paying attention. Notice particularly the eyes and the mouth. Sometimes vaccine damage is seen in eyes pulling in different directions or the mouth pulling up or down, in a similar way to those who have experienced a stroke. Many parents notice a pallor or lack of vitality in the face of their child following vaccines. If you see a difference in your child, that can be a strong signal that future vaccines could cause even greater harm.
Take video of your child’s most advanced actions or skills. Record their speech or verbal ability. Sometimes children have a serious reaction to a vaccine and are sick for several weeks and it becomes difficult to remember what they were capable of before they received the vaccines.
Explore your family history. Are there any i) Autoimmune diseases, ii) Eczema, iii) High-pitched screaming after vaccines, iv) Bowel disturbances, etc. Thousands of parents have found out the hard way that these symptoms can signal a possible adverse reaction in a family. Vaccine harm can be cumulative, which means the potential for harm can increase with each future vaccine.
Get genetic testing for MTHFR gene. People with a “defective MTHFR gene have an impaired ability to produce the MTHFR enzyme (estimates range from 20%-70% or more). This can make it more difficult to break down and eliminate not only synthetic folic acid but other substances like heavy metals.”[1] Since vaccines are known to contain heavy metals, it is wise to have at least a simple saliva test to determine your MTHFR gene response.
Consider delaying vaccines.The older a baby is, the better; the heavier a baby is, the better. Vaccines are known to cause more damage to younger and lower weight babies.
Limit the number of shots. Perhaps no more than one at a time. This will enable you to pinpoint which vaccine causes a poor reaction. Vaccine damage is individual but can also be cumulative. Some babies seem to be fine after receiving many injections; others react to only one shot. Limiting the number will give you more precise information on how your baby is responding.
Investigate the frequency and risk of the diseases. Do you know what diseases the CDC recommends shots for? Do you know the risk of the disease and if there is a way to treat your baby if s/he were to catch the diseases? This information is critically important so you can make an informed choice.
Read the complete vaccine insert, especially the ingredient list. Ask your doctor if they have read the complete insert for each vaccine they are recommending. This is a lengthy document which is available from each vaccine manufacturer for each vaccine, or combination vaccine (more than one disease covered in the shot) that they produce. These documents are available from you doctor if you request one. They come with the vaccines, or you can read them from the FDA site on-line if you know the name of the shot your doctor is planning to give.
Learn about why vaccines are the only medical treatment for which the manufacturer has zero liability. Most parents are unaware of the existence of the NVICP (National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program), VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), and the fact that vaccine manufacturers cannot be sued if their products cause damage or death. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, the CDC who recommends their products, and the doctors who administer the products are 100% liability free. This 5 minute video, How the Vaccine Court Works, which describes the National Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and the impact it has had on those who are injured by vaccines.
Research adverse reactions. Unfortunately vaccine injury is a reality for thousands, perhaps millions of families. There are many biomedical procedures and protocols families are finding beneficial for healing their children from vaccine injury, but it can be an exhausting, confusing, and expensive field to navigate.
Investigate detox procedures. When neurotoxins lodge in the brain, gut, or tissues, it can be removed, but there are many safety precautions you need to be aware of. Many families are achieving incredible healing from serious neurological damage caused by vaccines, but it comes with a tremendous emotional, physical, and financial cost. One mom, whom I know personally, now has a fully functioning 15-year-old. He was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at age 2. While he is now in mainstream education and is considered healed from autism, the family has spent close to $1 million for all the therapies, treatments, supplements, etc. to achieve this incredible recovery. There are resources written by parents who are succeeding at detoxing children from vaccine damage [2]
Investigate exemptions, religious or philosophical, in your state or country. 47 states in the USA allow non-medical exemptions for school. You do not have to be a member of a specific religion or explain the details of your religious objection in order to claim a religious exemption for vaccines. You can get more information on vaccine exemptions from the National Vaccine Information Center (nvic.org).

If you don’t know anyone impacted by vaccine injury, or if your children seem fine after getting shots, please thank God that your child has not been injured.

For some it only took one shot to send them into the spiral known as serious vaccine injury. Some families were selective about the shots and delayed them, yet their child was still injured. For others it was a progressive combination of vaccines. These families would give anything to go back in time and make the vaccine decision again.

One mom, L.G., learned about vaccine injury personally:

“I received the Hepatitis B series in my late teens because I ‘had’ to have it for college, which I later learned is a LIE. Additionally, these shots were given to prevent a disease I was never at risk for. It had been years since my last vaccines, but that series triggered my autoimmune disease. I developed an arthritis there is no cure for, that is predicted to be chronic and debilitating for the rest of my life, possibly putting me in constant pain and causing me to be unable to walk or move freely. I am currently doing well but must avoid dietary triggers, get regular exercise and rest. I’m taking a mild medication that has the potential to damage my liver. My pro-vaccine rheumatologist even agreed the vaccines I received as a teen were likely a cause/trigger for my arthritis. I just want everyone to know, if you consent to give the vaccines, you take on the responsibility for any negative outcomes for yourself; no one else is liable, the pharmaceutical companies are completely protected.”

Our doctors, the media, and the CDC tell us babies need vaccines to be safe and healthy. The reality is that there is a level of risk in giving vaccines and the CDC is fully aware of that risk. Many parents accept what they are told. Others question. Some families have differing opinions on the need for vaccines with one spouse in favor, and the other opposed.

Take your time. Do the research necessary for you to make a confident decision in what is best for the health of your baby.

Young Parents & Vaccine Information

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Becky Hastings

[A true story related to me by the author]

Trust me, as a parent, it doesn’t feel good to have been lied to by doctors. I trusted them to keep my children safe. My heart hurts.

It’s not that parents are completely unintelligent. It’s the product of a young, inexperienced human being, becoming a parent, and the continuous brain washing and pressure as we try to decide what’s best for our children.

My son has an Autism observation meeting at the end of the month. I can’t even begin to explain how bad I feel. And I don’t know that vaccines were the only reason why he ended up how he is, but I suspect it. He was on track… Then at a certain age, he wasn’t.

I thought I was being a good parent. When I questioned vaccines at the doctor’s office, the doctor and nurses pushed them, saying it was for my children’s safety. I concluded that I was just being paranoid. I did think, when I signed that waiver regarding vaccine liability, it was weird. I thought ‘Why do I need to sign this? It doesn’t make sense…’

We refused the MMR vaccine, at the time, thinking THAT was the only problem vaccine. But I was SO wrong!

My husband and I held out on the Hepatitis B vaccine, but later decided to have our children vaccinated for it. Honestly, until now, I was unaware of how unnecessary, and potentially dangerous these, and other vaccines, were.

I am NOT anti-vaccine. I am PRO vaccine safety! But for now, I don’t want to vaccinate my children, anymore. Not until I know that some actual safety has been verified, legitimately! And I would love if it could stop being such a fight to not want to vaccinate. All parents should make their own decision on whether or not to vaccinate. My children are my own. I don’t need others in the world telling me what I should be doing to raise them properly. I carried them. They are mine.

What Helps Labor go Easier, Faster, Better?

Posted on February 27, 2016 by Becky Hastings

Proverbs 14:12 says “There is a way that seems right to a MAN, but its end is the way of death.” I think this particularly applies to childbirth. If it seems right to a MAN, it might not be the best way for a woman. Of course there are some rare men, such as Michel Odent who left his OB practice to become a midwife, but overall most women, most times, are going to have a much better birth outcome by trusting the way God has made their body, and trusting a woman who respects the natural birth process, to be her birth attendant.

There is a little booklet, called The Basic Needs of a Woman in Labor, written by an acquaintance of mine from Cape Town, South Africa. This short powerful book is a gleaning of information gained through working alongside Michel Odent and is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all pregnant couples.

Through Dr Odent’s many years (more than half a century) of attending births (around 15,000 births) in both hospitals and at home, Dr. Odent has come to the conclusion that a laboring woman needs not much more than to be left alone, simply to be attended to by a quiet, non-invasive and low profile midwife.

If you’d like to read more information on the safety of homebirths, this is an important study recently published:

Outcomes of Care for 16,924 Planned Home Births in the United States: The Midwives Alliance of North America Statistics Project, 2004 to 2009, Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, Volume 59, Issue 1, pages 17–27, January/February 2014 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jmwh.12172/abstract

And this is a discussion of the study by the Midwives Association of North America: http://mana.org/blog/home-birth-safety-outcomes

[The study] confirms the safety and overwhelmingly positive health benefits for low-risk mothers and babies who choose to birth at home with a midwife. At every step of the way, midwives are providing excellent care. This study enables families, providers and policymakers to have a transparent look at the risks and benefits of planned home birth as well as the health benefits of normal physiologic birth.

Birth is such a wonderful, incredible event in the life of a woman. Most of us don’t have enough children to allow us to “get it wrong” too many times. I urge all pregnant or wanting to be pregnant women to choose your birth attendants with much information and awareness.

Once you have made important decisions about your baby’s birth, you need to do some research on the necessity and risk of giving your newborn vaccines. I’ve written extensively on this topic.

Vaccine dosage

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Becky Hastings

Babies come in a great variety of sizes.

A Nurse on Dosage A registered nurse who works in labor and delivery explained to me that the hepatitis B vaccination is given, after the consent of the parent, to all newborns weighing 2000g (4.4lb) or more.

The exact same dose of vaccine is given to a baby who weighs 2000g and to babies who weigh >4000g.

The dose DOES NOT CHANGE based on the weight of the baby.

However, every nurse who has worked in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) knows that every medication given is calculated to the nearest tenth of a point. So, every dose of every other medication given to infants must be carefully calculated based upon the gram weight of the child. This is true for all medications given to ALL CHILDREN BIRTH AND UP.

Yet when dealing with vaccines, the exact same dose of vaccine is given to babies and children who are vastly different weights.

Why???? What is the impact of the ingredients in those vaccines on the infant’s body?

Let’s look at just one example, the aluminum in vaccines.

This is a scenario of vaccines typically given from birth, as recommended by the CDC. Some variations may occur, as doctors may opt for combination vaccines rather than the separate shots, but the aluminum content will be similar.

Hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B) at birth, 2 and 6 months. Each dose contains 250mcg of aluminum.
DTaP shot containing diptheria, tetanus and pertussis (Infanrix) given at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months. Each dose contains 625mcg of aluminum.
Hib vaccine (Pedvax) is given at 2, 4 and 12 months. Each dose contains 225mcg of aluminum.
Pneumococcal vaccine (PCV/Prevnar) given at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months. Each dose contains 125mcg of aluminum.
Hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix) is given at 12 and 18 months. Each dose contains 250mcg of aluminum.

Thus, babies who follow the recommended immunization schedule are injected with nearly 5000mcg (5mg!) of aluminum by 18 months of age. (Since some shot dates are variable, babies may receive up to 1,475mcg of aluminum at one visit to the doctor at their 12-month or 15-month checkups!) Source: Vaccine product inserts and CDC’s immunization schedule.

For more information on aluminum in vaccines please read this important resource: http://thinktwice.com/aluminum.pdf

If you decide to give vaccines for any reason, please read my blogs Are You Prepared for Vaccines and Preparing to Vaccinate so you can reduce any possible adverse reactions.

The plight of the parent with a vaccine injured child

Posted on December 12, 2015 by Becky Hastings

Babies in the USA are routinely given 37 doses of 14 different vaccines by 18 months of age. They receive a total of 49 doses of 14 different vaccines before they start Kindergarten.

No parent ever goes to the doctor, complies with the medical recommendations to give vaccines, and expects to harm their child. Yet, sometimes, it happens. Vaccines might not cause obvious harm to every child, but they do harm some. This is the true reality of real parents with seriously vaccine injured children:

“I trusted my doctor and government and vaccinated my son. He now has severe regressive autism. Some days I’m soooooo angry at my stupidity; other days I’m so full of hate I actually vomit.” –Anonymous mom A

“A parent of a severely vaccine injured child is one of the most hellish demographics of this country. To have to go through that…. and then have the medical community, family, media, trendy ‘sheeple’, degrade you on top of it… there are hardly any words. One that stands out is shameful.” –Anonymous mom B

It is incredibly difficult when facing the hellish nightmare of serious regressive autism

every single day,

to hear really ignorant, uninformed people who have an opportunity to give their own brand-new-baby a healthy life, make comments that show they might be choosing the same path. The ‘autism’ resulting from vaccine injury is not just a slight ‘quirky difference’ in personality. This is physical illness; pain, serious bowel disturbances, often non verbal, non-toileting, etc. These children and their families experience severe incapacitation on so many levels. The parent with a vaccine injured child seeks to vigorously wave a huge red flag, desperately trying to warn unsuspecting new parents, but many are too proud, too confident, too trusting in the medical system, to recognize the truth.

“Here’s the thing. I’m absolutely sure vaccines are the cause of my daughter’s brain damage (aka autism). What I don’t know is WHY. Was it Thimerosal? Was it the aluminum? Was it retroviruses? Was it aborted fetal tissues? Was it the MMR? Was it the DTAP? Was it the Hep B, HIB, Polio? Or was it the COMBINATION? Did she have a genetic predisposition for vaccine injury? Was it too many too soon? Why is it up to ME to figure it out and up to ME to fix it????????? WHY????? Oh and WHY is nobody helping me and WHY are doctors still getting away with telling me autism is a genetic mystery??? BULLSHIT.” — Donna L Delicate, New York, USA

If someone you love has been impacted by vaccine injury, please share your reality in the comments below. The world needs to know. Vaccines are not as safe as the marketing implies.

If you are considering giving any vaccines to your child, or trying to decide which ones are worth the risk, please read this.

If you, like me, have been blessed to NOT experience severe debilitating vaccine injury in your family, we can heed the words of the writer to the Hebrews:

Continue to remember those enslaved and in prison,
And those who are ill-treated
As if you yourselves were suffering.
As if you felt their pain in your own bodies. Hebrews 13:3

Preparing to Vaccinate

Posted on December 1, 2015 by Becky Hastings

Our government tells us babies need vaccines to be safe and healthy. The reality is that there is a level of risk in giving vaccines and the CDC is fully aware of the risk. Many parents accept what they are told. Others question. Some families have differing opinions on the need for vaccines with one spouse in favor, and the other opposed.

If you are considering giving your child a vaccine for any reason, please do a few things first. Please read the whole list, because there are many important points at the end, but I didn’t know the order to put them in, or which might be the most important for YOU to know. Don’t be surprised like many young parents.

1. Delay as long as possible. The older a baby is, the better; the heavier a baby is, the better. Vaccines are known to cause more damage to younger and lower weight babies.

2. Know the CDC recommended schedule of vaccines so that you know which shots they will want your child to get at which ages. Investigate the frequency and risk of each of the diseases so that you can make an informed choice between the risk of the vaccine and the risk of the illness, when treated.

One side of an original complete package insert.

3. Read the complete vaccine insert and ask the doctor if they have read the complete insert for each vaccine they are recommending. This is a lengthy document which is available from each vaccine manufacturer for each vaccine, or combination (more than one disease covered in the shot) vaccine that they produce. They come with the vaccines, or you can read them from the FDA site on-line.

4. Research the NVICP (National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program), VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), and the fact that vaccine manufacturers cannot be sued if their products cause damage or death. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, the CDC who recommends their products, and the doctors who administer the products are 100% liability free since Congress passed the National Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Thousands of those injured by vaccines have been compensated, but this is only a small fraction of those who have. have actually been injured by these products. With no liability the manufacturers have no incentive to improve and ensure safety.

5. Research vaccine injury because it is a reality. After the Movie Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe was released, thousands of parents became more vocal about their experience with vaccine injury. You can find videos of these personal stories of tragedy. The Vaxxed bus collected thousands of signatures and videos which were compiled into another movie Vaxxed 2: The Peoples Truth.

6. Investigate how much money parents have spent on achieving recovery from vaccine injury. Sometimes this is referred to as “detoxing” after a vaccine. Many (but not all) are achieving incredible healing from serious neurological damage caused by vaccines, but at a tremendous emotional, physical, and financial cost. One mom, whom I know personally, now has a fully functioning 15-year-old. He was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at age 2. While he was able to transfer to mainstream education, the family has spent close to $1 million for all the therapies, treatments, supplements, etc., that have helped them achieve this incredible recovery.

7. Take a full-face photograph of your child BEFORE the vaccine. Many subtle signs of vaccine injury can be clearly seen in the face immediately, or in the days following the injections, if we are paying attention. Notice particularly the eyes and the mouth. Sometimes vaccine damage is seen in eyes pulling in different directions or the mouth pulling up or down, in a similar way to those who have experienced a stroke. Many parents notice a pallor or lack of vitality in the face of their child following vaccines. For more information see http://areyoucrooked.com/

8. Take some video of your child’s most advanced actions or skills. Record their speech or verbal ability. Sometimes children have a serious reaction to a vaccine and are sick for several weeks and it becomes difficult to remember what they were capable of before they received the vaccines.

9. Record the batch number, manufacturer, and description of the shot in your own permanent records. Make sure you know exactly what vaccine is being injected into your child. This information will be vital in the case of any injury. It can be included in a VAERS report and can help when cases are presented to VICP for compensation. The batch numbers have relevance in cases where the same batch number has caused multiple injuries and this information could possibly benefit other parents.

10. Limit the number of shots. I would suggest no more than one at a time; that way you will be able to pinpoint which vaccine causes a poor reaction. Vaccine damage is individual but can also be cumulative. Some babies seem to be fine after receiving many injections; others react to only one shot. Limiting the number will give you more precise information on how your baby is responding.

11. High doses of Vitamin C before, and long-term after, can reduce negative symptoms. Toddlers and babies can be given 1 g/day of sodium ascorbate spread throughout the day or give 2 times the RDI/day of a Vitamin C Complex.

12. Give probiotics for at least 2 weeks afterwards.

13. Apply ice immediately, or ASAP, to the injection site.

14. Give NO acetaminophen, aka TYLENOL (USA) or PARACETAMOL (SA, UK), no matter who recommends it. While Vitamin C helps with glutathione production in the body, acetaminophen/Tylenol/Paracetamol depletes glutathione. Glutathione is critically important in the role of detoxing the brain. Despite this danger, many health professionals recommend giving a product containing acetaminophen. Carefully read the contents of all OTC drugs. You will be surprised at how many contain acetaminophen.

15. Investigate exemptions, religious or philosophical, in your state or country. Vaccines are rarely mandated or required. 47 states in the USA allow non-medical exemptions to vaccines for school. You do not have to be a member of a specific religion or explain the details of your religious objection in order to claim a religious exemption for vaccines. You can get more information on vaccine exemptions from the National Vaccine Information Center (nvic.org).

16. Explore your family history for possible vaccine reactions such as: i) Autoimmune diseases, ii) Eczema, iii) High-pitched screaming, iv) Bowel disturbances, etc. Many doctors deny a connection with vaccines, but thousands of parents have found out the hard way, these symptoms can signal a possible adverse reaction. Vaccine reactions can be cumulative, which means they can grow worse with each future vaccine.

17. Do I, or my child, have a defective MTHFR gene? People with a defective MTHFR gene have an impaired ability to produce the MTHFR enzyme (estimates range from 20%-70% or more). This can make it more difficult to break down and eliminate not only synthetic folic acid but other substances like heavy metals.[1] Since vaccines are known to contain heavy metals, it is wise to have at least a simple saliva test to determine your MTHFR gene response.

18. If your child ends up with an obvious reaction to any vaccine, here are some steps you can take to discover and prove it was related to the vaccines.Take your baby/child to the ER and have doctors collect a blood sample to evaluate the “cytokine”, specifically look at the inflammatory cytokines. Insist on this. Save this information because these lab values document and validate the vaccine reaction in medical and legal arenas. This information will also provide substantiation for a doctor to provide you with a medical exemption so that you can say NO to any more vaccines in the future. In addition, recent studies confirm that mothers of children with ASD have elevated inflammatory cytokines and the children with ASD also have elevated inflammatory cytokines (Cytokine dysregulation in autism spectrum disorders (ASD): possible role of the environment).

There are THOUSANDS of families who are spending fortunes they don’t have, to try to restore the health of their precious children after receiving vaccines. While many are achieving success, it is GRUELING, and expensive. There are resources written by parents who are succeeding at detoxing children from vaccine damage [2]. If you don’t know anyone impacted by vaccine injury, or if your children seem fine after getting shots, every day you should thank God that your child has not been similarly injured.

One mom, L.G., learned about vaccine injury personally: “I received the Hepatitis B series in my late teens because I ‘had’ to have it for college, which I later learned is a LIE. Additionally, these shots were given to prevent a disease I was never at risk for. It had been years since my last vaccines, but that series triggered my autoimmune disease. I developed an arthritis there is no cure for, that is predicted to be chronic and debilitating for the rest of my life, possibly putting me in constant pain and causing me to be unable to walk or move freely. I am currently doing well but must avoid dietary triggers, get regular exercise and rest. I’m taking a mild medication that has the potential to damage my liver. My pro-vaccine rheumatologist even agreed the vaccines I received as a teen were likely a cause/trigger for my arthritis. I just want everyone to know, if you consent to give the vaccines, you take on the responsibility for any negative outcomes for yourself; no one else is liable, the pharmaceutical companies are completely protected.”

EDITED Jan 10, 2019. Perhaps the most important thing you can do IF you decide to give vaccines, is summarized by Dr Edward Yazbak

A young parent would be well advised to NEVER be alone with the baby in the immediate post-vaccination period. The presence of a friend, a neighbor or a relative when the baby arrests or convulses can make the difference between a simple interrogation and a full-blown “crime scene investigation”. The inconvenience of having a guest, including a mother-in-law, pales in comparison to what I have seen happen to innocent people because some doctor decided that there was a “Shaken Baby Syndrome”. https://www.nvic.org/Doctors-Corner/Edward-Yazbak/Multiple-Vaccinations-and-the-Shaken-Baby-Syndrome.aspx

Most of us can’t imagine anything worse than a baby dying after receiving vaccines. Many parents have found there is something worse: being charged with the murder of your child who dies after receiving vaccines when you are absolutely innocent.

Can Vaccines Ever Cause Harm?

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Becky Hastings

Because we hear “vaccines are safe and effective and everyone needs to give them to every baby so they will be safe and so everyone will be safe” so often and in such a variety of ways, it is possible for many to believe that vaccines never cause harm. Some doctors even reassure their patients that there are virtually no risks from vaccines.

However, manufacturers’ own documents reveal a different reality.

For instance, the Infanrix Hexa is a 6-in-1 vaccination, which combines Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis, Hepatitis B, enhanced Inactivated Poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenza type B (HIB B) vaccines is used in 92 countries worldwide and has a long list of adverse events that have been known, yet hidden from the public.

Christina England, a vaccine truth researcher, explains the discovery of confidential documents from GlaxoSmithKline which detail 1,742 adverse events. “The list was so long, it required a full twenty pages. Here are some of the adverse events detailed on charts between pages 11 and 31 of their document:

106 cases of cyanosis
69 cases of loss of consciousness
165 cases of hypotonia
102 cases of hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes
107 cases of convulsions
20 cases of epilepsy
98 cases of febrile convulsions
33 cases of grand mal convulsions
47 apnea attacks
108 cases of vomiting
43 cases of Gaze Palsy
12 cases of anemia
1 case of bone marrow failure
6 cases of cardiac arrests
53 cases of diarrhea
593 cases of pyrexia (high temperature)
22 cases of gait disturbance
6 cases of anaphylaxis
62 cases of pertussis (whooping cough)
2 cases of meningitis pneumococcal
3 cases of arthritis
16 cases of muscle twitching
22 cases of tremors
264 cases of crying (does not indicate the severity)
2 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome
10 cases of respiratory arrest
7 cases of Kawasaki’s disease

All of these adverse events occurred after the child received the Infanrix Hexa vaccination, some just hours after being vaccinated. I am sure you will agree that these documented facts make extremely uncomfortable reading.”[1]

Additionally it was found that for 68 cases the vaccine did not even work to cause antibody production. There is A LOT more detail in the Vaxtruth blog posted in 2012!!! Please check it out.[1] I just wanted to highlight enough to convince anyone that there is a problem. Daily we see comments in the media, in our circle of friends or even from doctors that imply vaccines are safe. Parents deserve to know all the facts. That is what informed consent means.

You can read the confidential GlaxoSmithKline document for yourself: The authorities KNOW of the adverse events. They have known for many years. For some hard to understand reason, they continue to think that these deaths and injuries are an acceptable form of collateral towards their vaccine goals.

The document, titled Confidential To Regulatory Authorities Infanrix Hexa Summary Bridging Report [2] stated that between October 23, 2009, and October 22, 2011, GlaxoSmithKline received a total of 1,742 reports of adverse events, including 503 serious adverse events, after children had received the 6 in 1 vaccine, Infanrix Hexa.[1]

I just want to say that I DO NOT LIKE WRITING ABOUT THESE THINGS. But how can I stay silent and witness more babies dying and injured every single day because parents believe the doctors who believe those promoting vaccine myths?

The Vaccine Myth

Posted on November 12, 2015 by Becky Hastings

Powerful forces are at work in our world to perpetuate many myths. Two thousand years ago Paul wrote a letter to a young man, Titus. He warned him of a common deficiency in human nature: those in positions of authority, but who are themselves in rebellion against God’s authority, deceive others. Paul explained that their only motive is money – the financial gain they receive from perpetuating their lies.[1]

In the United States today, if you are honest, you will admit that there is pervasive endemic culture of lying. A friend of mine has been planing and building a new home for the last few years. She moved in only to discover a host of faults. The house has mold and is causing her serious health problems. She has had multiple interactions with the builders of her brand new home only to realize their willingness to consistently lie to her. In comparing notes with others who know the building industry in her area, they realize lying has become so commonplace because it helps the builders achieve their bottom lines.

Many people depend on vaccines as a fool-proof way to protect their children and themselves from dread disease and keep them “safe and healthy,” yet they fail to realise they have fallen prey to a modern myth, the vaccine myth.

It takes time and effort to dig to find the truth. The deception has influenced policy making, media, medical training and public understanding on a grand scale. The perpetrators of the vaccine myth know there is a much greater danger of an adverse reaction after vaccines than they are willing to convey to the public. Their minds and consciences are corrupted. They twist the facts and believe their own lies.

There are good people involved in the continuation of the myth because they themselves have been deceived.

This blog post is going to highlight two important proofs exposing the vaccine myth. Firstly, the history of all illnesses reveals powerful information largely ignored. Secondly, there is incontrovertible evidence of secret meetings, plans, and tactics of those in authority to cover-up information that would have exposed the myth.

History

Many medical doctors are aware of this information, but few are willing to speak out about it. While I am encouraged that the number is growing daily, many outspoken medical voices in the past were castigated by their profession for breaking ranks with the established line regarding vaccines. Dr Jayne L. M. Donegan is one such doctor:

“Despite questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccination by reputable medical men since its introduction, debate has been, and is, increasingly silenced.”[2] Scientific studies are being designed or altered to prop up the position of those perpetuating the vaccine myth. For most doctors trained over the last 60 years vaccines are presented and accepted as an established unquestionable ‘article of faith.’

Vaccine preventable disease For over half a century medical and nursing students have been trained that vaccines were the reason children and adults stopped dying from diseases for which there are vaccines. They are taught that there are two categories of historical diseases: ‘vaccinatable’ and ‘non-vaccinatable’. Both categories of disease diminished in incidence and mortality (causing death) over time, but the reasons given for this decrease depends solely on whether there was a vaccine that managed to reach the market, or not.

Diseases such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, typhoid fever, typhus, and cholera decreased due to better social conditions, but for all the others – the ones they managed to get a vaccine onto the market – the decrease is credited to vaccines.

“You would think – as medical students who are supposed to be moderately intelligent – that some of us would have asked, ‘But if deaths from these diseases decreased due to improved social conditions, mightn’t the ones for which there are vaccines also have decreased at the same time for the same reasons?’ But we didn’t.”[2]

“The medical curriculum is so overloaded with information that you just have to learn what you hear, as you hear it: ‘nonvaccinatable’ diseases into the social conditions box and ‘vaccinatable’ diseases into the vaccines box and then on to the next subject.”[2]

“Everything I was taught and read in textbooks, both before I qualified as a doctor and through all my post-graduate training, reinforced this view.”[2]

Cover-up.

There is a lot of evidence of cover-up that has become available through the freedom of information act (FOIA) and dedicated parents and scientists who refuse to be side-tracked. The following is only a brief sampling of some of the cover-ups employed to perpetuate the vaccine myth.

Firstly, there is the re-classification of the criteria to be classified as ‘polio’ by the CDC after the introduction of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 60s in order to convey a massive reduction in polio cases, when in reality so many cases were excluded from the count that they numbers were significantly deflated.

“The definition of polio also has changed in the last six or seven years. Several diseases which were often diagnosed as polio are now classified as aseptic meningitis or Illnesses caused by one of the Coxsackie or Echo viruses. The number of polio cases in 1961 cannot accurately be compared with those in, say 1952, because the criteria for diagnosis have changed.” Chicago Tribune, March 1961[3]

Next, please read the entire Simpsonwood Transcript (200+ pages), or at least a summary of the incriminating statements made by 50+ experts including medical doctors during a secret meeting convened by the CDC in June 2000. The reason for the meeting was to discuss the troubling scientific data that had been collected and showed a “strong signal” between vaccines and later neurological damage or delays in children. These experts openly discuss the unfortunate reality and the impact it could have on their cherished vaccine program.

These specially invited guests were invited to this meeting – not with the purpose of actually questioning the status quo vaccine program, but to help the CDC figure out a plan to re-frame and hide the information discovered and explore ways to create more ‘scientific studies’ to obfuscate the known links. They discussed the role of mercury as a known neurotoxin and reveal nearly complete ignorance on the role of aluminium in harming brain function when injected. Absurdly, instead of seeking more information from experts, they blindly continue with vaccines known to contain high levels of aluminium. Their agenda was clearly NOT to protect the health and well-being of babies, except in the case of one participants recently born grandson – whom he declared would NOT be getting any vaccines until they were safer.

Dr William Thompson, Senior Research Officer at CDC, father of 4

While there is much more evidence you can unearth on the overt attempts to perpetuate the vaccine myth over the last 100 years, the final incontrovertible evidence of cover-up on the part of vaccine promoters that I am going to present is the CDC Whistleblower, Dr William Thompson.

“That’s the deal . . ., that’s what I keep seeing again and again and again . . . where these senior people [at CDC] just do completely unethical, vile things and no one holds them accountable.”

— Dr. William Thompson to Dr. Brian Hooker in a recorded phone call, June 12, 2014[4]

Dr Thompson has made over 100,000 pages of documents available to Congressman Posey and made a public statement in which he admitted to lying and altering data in order to change the perception of vaccine safety in a study published in 2004. Dr Thompson and his colleagues at the CDC discovered through their epidemiological survey that there was an increased risk of autism under some conditions after vaccination. Instead of making this information a topic of further investigation so that children would be protected, they were told by their bosses at CDC that they needed to change the study design midstream. Under no circumstances was there to be an acknowledgement of possible vaccine harm.

Over a series of many telephone conversations with Dr Brian Hooker, Dr Thompson revealed his role in this cover-up. He states clearly “My boss told me to lie. I have stopped lying. I am not going to lie anymore.” He also expressed deep remorse every time he sees an autistic young child because he knows that his actions could have contributed to the possibility that this child developed the neurological symptoms because he had been involved in a scheme to lie and cover-up known links with recommended vaccines. You can read the transcripts of the telephone conversations in this highly recommended book, Vaccine Whistleblower: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC.

This information is hard for most of us to swallow. We would rather believe the world is a safe place and the people in authority would never lie to us. It is particularly hard to believe that anyone would lie or hide evidence that would result in harm to infants and children.

I know 99% of parents would never knowingly harm their baby, yet I continue to daily receive reports of severe vaccine reactions and sometimes deaths, because parents have been lied to. I encourage everyone to dig deeper and get the facts for yourself. You don’t have to believe me. You can find the information to make an informed decision for the health and welfare of your family. Your most important responsibility as a parent is to protect your precious babies.

CDCWhistleblower

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Becky Hastings

Every parent wants to protect their baby. Doctors have trusted the CDC for accurate information on the safety of vaccines. If CDC has falsified and destroyed data, they are not providing doctors with the information they need to make wise recommendations for their patients.

You can get the vaccine package inserts from the FDA for every vaccine you are considering. Please read the ingredient list, the contraindications, and the adverse reactions that have occurred in some who receive the shot. Also find the section on “Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. XXXXXX vaccine has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potentials or impairment of fertility.” This statement is on ALL package inserts and means that vaccines have not been tested to know if they can cause cancer, negatively impact genes, or impact your baby’s future fertility.

My prayer is that you and your family will enjoy vibrant health. We are bombarded with information which can make finding the truth challenging. Paul said “in Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Pray as you research so you can make wise choices for the health of your family. The most important task for any parent is to protect their baby’s brain.
