Truth: Hep-B
Truth is parents are not given a choice, it is now standard procedure that all new all new born babies have the hep-B shot, no questions asked. http://www.mercola.com/2002/jan/23/h...is_vaccine.htm Warning: New Hepatitis Vaccine Recs Can Devastate Newborn's Health The newly released 2002 immunization schedule encourages the routine use of hepatitis B vaccine for all infants before hospital discharge to Safeguard against maternal hepatitis B testing errors and test reporting failures Protect neonates discharged to households in which hepatitis B chronic carriers other than the mother may reside Enhance the completion of the childhood immunization series The annual "Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule" of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is issued in January of each year. Pediatrics Vol. 109 No. 1 January 2002, pp. 162 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT: Folks I am outraged. We need to take action now. These recommendations are inexcusable. There is no possible logical recommendation for this action. All of these arguments are fatally flawed. If you are new to the site these may sound like lunatic ramblings of some quack, but before you come to that, or a similar conclusion, I challenge you to examine the facts. The central fact, and the one that helps to explain these insane recommendations, is that the maker of the hepatitis B vaccine, Merck, makes about $1 billion a year from vaccine sales. A billion dollars a year goes a long way toward influencing public policy. Who is Behind This? The group that is pushing this through is called The Hepatitis B coalition. Part of the Immunization Action Coalition, this group was started by a $750,000 grant from the CDC. It is supported by the World Health Organization, World Bank, Rockefeller Foundation and ongoing funding from Smith-Kline, Merck, Aventis and Johnson & Johnson. Let us not forget that it has been less than three years since the federal government asked the drug companies to take mercury out of this vaccine, and they still haven't complied. I have seen many dozens of children who were given this vaccine on the first day of life and subsequently developed autism. Others, like Michael Belkin's daughter, weren't as lucky and died immediately after the vaccine. Michael is a successful Wall Street Financial analyst with his own company, and has testified to Congress on this issue and regularly forwards news health stories to me. Well in the single dose hepatitis B vials, the drug companies have replaced the mercury with aluminum, which is another potent neurotoxin that has been associated with Alzheimer's. But who knows what damage it will do to the immature central nervous system of a one-day old infant. The multi dose hepatitis B vials still contain mercury. Folks, hepatitis B is about as difficult to catch as AIDS. Namely, you nearly always need to have blood or sexual contact of some sort. That is why the main risk factors are IV drug abusers and those who engage in sex with multiple partners. Is Hepatitis Vaccine Safe? The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was developed by the government to report vaccine reactions. Many experts believe that only 10% of the adverse reactions are reported though as reporting is not mandated by law. Even with only 10% of the problems being reported there were nearly 25,000 VAERS hepatitis B reports from July 1990 to October 31, 1998, showing 439 deaths and 9673 serious reactions involving emergency room visits, hospitalization, disablement or death. The presence of findings such as brain edema in healthy infants who die very soon after receiving hepatitis B vaccine is profoundly disturbing, especially in view of the frequency of neurologic symptoms in the VAERS. Does this make any sense? Is Hepatitis B Vaccine Effective in Newborns? Vaccine derived immunity is thought to be short lived. Between 30-50% of vaccinated individuals lose their antibiodies within 7 years. Up to 60% of persons who initially respond will lose detectable antibodies within 12 years.. So that means that these vaccines will provide little to no protection to the real risks of acquiring hepatitis B, promiscuous sexual behavior and IV drug abuse. Does this make any sense? How Many Children Are Hurt or Helped By Hepatitis B Vaccine? Hepatitis B is a rare, mainly blood-transmitted disease. In 1996 only 54 cases of the disease were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 age group. There were 3.9 million births that year, so the observed incidence of hepatitis B in the 0-1 age group was just 0.001%. In the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 in the 0-1 age group, with 47 deaths reported. Let us put this in simpler terms. For every child with hepatitis B there were 20 that were reported to have severe complications. Let us also remember that only 10% of the reactions are reported to VAERS, so this means: Traditional medicine is harming 200 children to protect one from hepatitis B. |

Mark, MD I wish somebody had told me that as we have to get out HBsAg testing out within 12 hours of delivery with mothers who have no documented test on file as those without no prenatal care testing. If we don't have testing done in time or a mother is HBsAG positive then the vaccine is recommended. Hopefully in the future a vaccine for HCV will be developed and add to the complaints of these people. There is an epidemic of HCV compared to HBV because of the vaccine and decreased incidence of HBV with the complications of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatic carcinoma. |

Mark, MD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark, It's my GUESS that the majority of parents o new born babies just sign off the forms without reading them and do whatever their doctors or medical staff advises them to do. The end result is that most all babies receive the Hep-B vaccine. If anyone knows the percentage of newborn babies that receive the Hep-B vaccine, please post that percentage. I have only been in a hospital one time and recall that I had to sign lots of forms and did not bother to read all of the information on every form. Jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Parts of Not garbage Restored: The newly released 2002 immunization schedule encourages the routine use of hepatitis B vaccine for all infants before hospital discharge to Iatrogenic exposure to mercury after hepatitis B vaccination in preterm infants. Stajich GV, Lopez GP, Harry SW, Sexson WR. Mercer University, Southern School of Pharmacy, Atlanta, Georgia 30341, USA. Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, is used as a preservative in hepatitis B vaccines. We measured total mercury levels before and after the administration of this vaccine in 15 preterm and 5 term infants. Comparison of pre- and post-vaccination mercury levels showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination. Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants. Because mercury is known to be a potential neurotoxin to infants, further study of its pharmacodynamics is warranted. Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information By The US Centre for Disease Control, Simpsonwood Retreat Center, Norcross, Georgia, June 7th-8th 2000. This meeting was convened by the US CDC to discuss the findings of Dr. Verstraeten in relation to the positive statistical association between thiomersal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders (thiomersal is a mercury-based preservative that has been extensively used in the UK and US, and elsewhere). The confidential version of the study reviewed at this meeting clearly demonstrated that an exposure to more than 62.5 micrograms of mercury within the first three months of life significantly increased a child's risk of developing autism. Specifically, the study found a 2.48 times increased risk of autism. In the US, courts of law have held that a relative increased risk of 2.0 or higher is sufficient to substantiate that a given exposure causes disease (in the case of Cook v. United States, 545 F. Supp. 306, at 308, Northern District, California, 1982, the Court stated that "in a vaccine case, a relative risk greater than 2.0 establishes that there is greater than a 50% chance that the injury was caused by the vaccine"). The key findings of the Vaccine Safety Datalink analysis were that there was a statistically significant association between: A cumulative exposure to thiomersal-containing vaccines at 2 months of age and unspecified developmental delay A cumulative exposure at three months of age and tics A cumulative exposure at six months of age and attention deficit disorder A cumulative exposure at 1, 3 and 6 months of age and language and speech delay A cumulative exposure at 1, 3 and 6 months of age and neurodevelopmental delays in general The report noted that "the consultants were unanimous in their opinion that further investigations should be pursued with a degree of urgency". These are some extracted comments from some of the key participants: Dr. Weil: "There are just a host of neurodevelopmental data that would suggest that we've got a serious problem" Dr. Verstraeten: "We have found statistically significant relationships between the exposures and outcomes for these different exposures and outcomes. First, for two months of age, an unspecified developmental delay which has its own specific ICD9 code. Exposure at three months of age, Tics. Exposure at six months of age, an attention deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six months of age, the entire category of neurodevelopmental delays, which includes all of these plus a number of other disorders." "Now for speech delays, which is the largest single disorder in this category of neurologic delays. The results are suggestive of a trend with a small dip. The overall test for trend is highly statically significant above one". "After excluding this speech group, the trend is also apparent in this group (developmental delays, less those with speech delays) and the test for trend is also significant for this category excluding speech". Dr. Davis: "In terms of a search for pre-disposing factors.....serious and chronic otitis media by history, being mentioned by the pediatrician or the specialist, was present 38% of the time". (US parents' note: doesn't this sound familiar to all of you parents with autistic children?) Dr. Johnson: "This association leads me to favour a recommendation that infants up to two years old not be immunised with thiomersal-containing vaccines if suitable alternative preparations are available......there are probably implications for this internationally". Congress also ordered the Institute of Medicine (IoM) to investigate the autism/MMR link, or identify another cause(s). The IoM is a division of the National Academy of Sciences, whose members serve as advisers to Congress. The IoM met in 2001, and also looked at eight other vaccine-related safety concerns. Does this make any sense? How Many Safety Studies Have Been Done On Hepatitis B Vaccine? None. A manufacturer's representative was asked in a 1997 Illinois Board of Health hearing to show evidence that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe for a 1-day old infant. The representative stated: "We have none. Our studies were done on 5- and 10-year-olds." -- The Congressional Quarterly, August 25, 2000, pg. 647 [all of the links have disappeared,,what a surprise...NOT]. http://64.41.99.118/vran/vaccines/he...accine_hep.htm VACCINES HEPATITIS-B HEP-B VACCINE, an UNJUSTIFIED HEALTH HAZARD Across Canada each year, thousands of school children are lined up and injected with hepatitis B vaccine. Parents are not adequately informed of the risks associated with the vaccine nor are they told that children in Canada have an extremely low risk of contracting the disease. Hepatitis B is not a common childhood disease. The risk according to recent statistics from Health Canada is minute, with only 25 cases reported in 1998 in children under the age of 14 in the entire country, yet thousands of children every year are exposed to the hazards of the vaccine. Parents are not told that hepatitis B vaccine is genetically engineered, that it contains thimerosal a known neurotoxin, and that no long term follow up for adverse reactions has been done. Pre-marketing clinical trials lasted only 4-5 days, not long enough to determine automimmune reactions that can take weeks and months to emerge. According to vaccine researcher, Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, "The pathologies that are common to hepatitis B virus infections are the same types of symptoms that are associated with both the plasma derived (old vaccine) and the new yeast derived recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. These include rheumatoid arthritis type symptoms, optic neuritis, multiples sclerosis like symptoms, demyelinating disorders and a variety of vascular disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome." Dr. Dunbar reports that "we re finding there are 3 basic categories of adverse reactions. When you look at the published reports in the literature we have a majority of neurological type of symptoms, rheumatic/rheumatology, autoimmune types of symptoms and a variety of others vascular, etc." In a resolution voting against mandatory childhood vaccines, members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons stated that "children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to suffer adverse effects -- including death -- following the hepatitis B vaccine than to catch the disease itself." While Canadian statistics are sparse on vaccine associated adverse events, the VAERS adverse events reporting system in the United States offers the following statistics. To be sure, a similar trend would be expected in Canada. http://www.aapsonline.org/aaps/ Overall, VAERS has received a total of 17,497 reports of adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine, reactions that occurred after people received the vaccine alone, rather than in combination with other vaccines, during the period between July 1, 1990 and October 21, 1998. Moreover, fully 5,983 of these reports chronicled such serious events as hospitalizations, while 146 of them told of deaths. VAERS, furthermore, is a passive system, not a mandatory one. This suggests that only a fraction of adverse events are actually reported, a fraction estimated by FDA officials to be as low as 1% to 10%. http://www.biospace.com/articles/111199.cfm Until recently the vaccine was given in a three dose schedule - the first dose usually started in the fall at the begining of the new school term, a second injected dose about a month later, and the third dose approximately 6 months later. In July 2000, The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) announced a revised schedule under the heading "The Statement on Alternate Adolescent Schedule for Hepatitis B Vaccine", published in the Canada Communicable Diseases Report - Vol. 26 (ACS-5), July 1, 2000. This brief report announces that children age 11-15 will have available a two dose schedule to be given in the school setting, and identifies the vaccine as Merck Frosst's Recombivax HB, but omits pertinent product information and does not disclose details of how the new 2 dose hepatitis B vaccine differs from the old 3 dose vaccine. The NACI statement can be viewed online at: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpb/lcdc/publ...6sup/acs5.html The timeline of the hepatitis B vaccine program varies from province to province. Some provinces start injecting children in Grade 3, others start in grade 4, 5, 6, or 7, and high schools offer catch up campaigns for students who missed their shots in elementary school. New Brunswick, and the North West Territories routinely inject newborn infants within hours of birth with hepatitis B vaccine, while also offering it with the early infant shots starting at two months. Prince Edward Island includes it in the infant shots and also offers it in schools. British Columbia recently also has added hepatitis B vaccine to its routine infant vaccination program, starting at two months. According to the Canadian Immunization Guide - Fifth edition (1998), " HBV infection is usually associated with exposure to blood or infectious bodily fluids. Common means of transmission include heterosexual and homosexual contact, injection drug use, and perinatal transmission (mother to infant). The risk of transfusion-related hepatitis B is extremely low because of routine HBsAg screening of donated blood and rejecting of donors at risk of infection. Infections also occur in settings of close personal contact through unrecognized contact with infective fluids." People at high risk for getting hepatitis B disease are intravenous drug users who share contaminated needles, prostitutes, prisoners, sexually promiscuous persons and babies born to infected mothers. Canada offers prenatal blood screening (which includes testing for hepatitis B infection) to all pregnant women, and in rare cases of maternal infection, newborn infants are immeditely treated with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG), which offers immediate short term passive immunity. Immune globulin is prepared from pooled human plasma from selected donors wth high level of anti-HBs who are seronegative for bloodborne infections. This screening and treatment insures that vulnerable, at risk infants are protected from acquiring hepatitis B and effectively reduces their risk of becoming lifelong carriers of the disease. The majority of adults, and older children who might rarely contract the disease usually recover, and develop lifelong immunity. Only a small percentage of people who contract hepatitis B go on to become carriers of the disease and/or develop degenerative liver disease. Health Canada reports "an encouraging picture of declining incidence of HBV infection in Canada in recent years. The reasons for this apparent decline remain speculative. A high-risk group approach to the use of hepatitis B vaccine has been in place in Canada since 1982 (3) and prenatal screening, at first targeted at high-risk pregnant women and later at all pregnant women, has also been in place since 1982..........A downward trend for the incidence of HBV in the early 1990s has also been reported in the United States and has been partly ascribed to declining transmission among injection drug users, possibly as a result of safer needle-using" http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpb/lcdc/publ.../dr2307eb.html |

What part of "should" do you read to be mandatory and not just a recommendation? Nothing you posted ( except unverifiable anecdotes ) supports your contention that any vaccinations are given "no questions asked". |
