Are Vaccines Causing More Disease Than They are Curing?

 

 

By Alan Cantwell Jr., M.D.

 

Vaccines help keep us safe from infectious diseases. Smallpox and polio

epidemics have been wiped out by mass vaccine programs. People rush to get flu

shots every autumn, and kids are bombarded with a barrage of 22 required

vaccinations before the age of six. Even pets need their shots. The manufacture

of vaccines is a giant industry and what you pay for Einoculations and doctor

visits Eis big business for pediatricians, family practitioners and

veterinarians. So why are more and more people worried about vaccines,

especially the ones for kids?

 

 

Vaccine-induced Illness

 

 

Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Centre, a

consumer’s group based in Virginia, USA, claims vaccines are responsible for the

increasing numbers of children and adults who suffer from immune system and

neurologic disorders, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, asthma, chronic

fatigue syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and seizure

disorders. She calls for studies to monitor the long-term effects of mass

vaccination and Fisher wants physicians to be absolutely sure these vaccines are

safe and not harming people.

 

 

No one can deny the dangers of vaccines. The measles, mumps, rubella (German

measles) and polio vaccines, all contain live but weakened viruses. Although

health officials tell you that polio has been wiped out in the US since 1979,

they often fail to mention that all recorded cases of polio since that time are

actually caused by the polio vaccine.

 

 

Vaccine investigator Neil Z. Miller questions whether we still need the polio

vaccine when it causes every new case of polio in the USA. Before mass

vaccinations programs began fifty years ago, Miller insists we didn’t have

cancer in epidemic numbers, that autoimmune ailments were barely known, and

childhood autism did not exist.

 

 

Vaccine Contamination

 

 

There is also the problem of contamination that has always plagued vaccine

makers. During World War II a yellow fever vaccine manufactured with human blood

serum was unknowingly contaminated with hepatitis virus and given to the

military. As a result, more than 50,000 cases of serum hepatitis broke out among

American troops injected with the vaccine.

 

 

In the 1960s it was discovered that polio vaccines manufactured in monkey

kidney tissue between 1955 and 1963 were contaminated with a monkey virus

(Simian Virus, number 40). Although this virus causes cancer in experimental

animals, health authorities insist it does not cause problems in humans. But

evidence of SV40 genetic material has been popping up in human cancers and

normal tissue. Researchers are now connecting SV40-contaminated polio vaccines

to an increasing number of rare cancers of the lung (mesothelioma) and bone

marrow (multiple myeloma). In a 1999 report, SV40 DNA was detected in tissue

samples from four children born after 1982. Three were kidney transplant

patients, and a fourth had a kidney tumour. Could SV40 be passed on from parents

to their children? No one knows for sure.

 

 

Covert Vaccine Experiments

 

 

Using kids as guinea pigs in potentially harmful vaccine experiments is every

parentsEworst nightmare. This actually happened in 1989-1991 when Kaiser

Permanente of Southern California and the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC)

jointly conducted a measles vaccine experiment. Without proper parental

disclosure, the Yugoslavian-made “high titreEEdmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine

was tested on 1,500 poor, primarily black and Latino, inner city children in Los

Angeles. Highly recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the

high-potency experimental vaccine was previously injected into infants in

Mexico, Haiti, and Africa. It was discontinued in these countries when it was

discovered that the children were dying in large numbers.

 

 

Unbelievably, the measles vaccine caused long-term suppression of the

children’s immune system for six months up to three years. As a result, the

immunodepressed children died from other diseases in greater numbers than

children who had never received the vaccine. Tragically, African girl babies in

the experiment were given twice the dose of boys, and therefore suffered a

higher death rate. The WHO pulled the vaccine off the market in 1992.

 

 

Ironically, the E-Z measles vaccine tested by Kaiser on minority babies was

supposed to increase immunity in younger infants. Instead, the vaccine produced

the opposite effect. A Los Angeles Times editorial (June 20, 1996) assured

readers that “none of the 1,500 was injured by the unlicensed vaccineEand

called upon the CDC to ensure that experiments like the E-Z measles vaccine

could never occur again.

 

 

One wonders how many secret vaccine experiments are conducted by health

authorities that never come to the attention of the public. During the two-year

measles experiment I was employed by Kaiser and I never knew anything about it

until I read the report in The Times five years later, in 1996.

 

 

In the poor inner cities across the United States the number of asthma cases

is exploding and health officials don’t know why. According to the CDC, 5000

asthma deaths occur annually; and it is estimated that 17.3 million people (4.8

million are children) suffer from the disease, up from 6.7 million in 1980.

Asthma usually begins before age 6, and blacks are two to three times more

likely to die from asthma than whites. In the Bronx and Harlem sections of New

York City, the hospitalisation rate for asthma is 21 times higher than in the

more affluent areas of the city.

 

 

Could the sharp rise in asthma in poor children be connected with

immunosuppression caused by a barrage of vaccines, as well as a lack of quality

medical care and insurance, poor diet, and environmental factors? The possible

connection of immunosuppressive vaccines to diseases like asthma has never been

raised by health officials.

 

 

With vaccine experiments frequently performed in Africa and now on black

Americans, no wonder one out of every four African-Americans believes AIDS was

developed as a genocide program by the US government to exterminate the black

population.

 

 

But vaccine experiments in the 1990s have not been limited to blacks. Millions

of female Mexicans, Nicaraguans and Filipinos have been duped into taking

tetanus vaccines, some of which contained a female hormone that could cause

miscarriage and sterilisation. In 1995, a Catholic human rights organisation

called Human Life International accused the WHO of promoting a Canadian-made

tetanus vaccine laced with a pregnancy hormone called human choriogonadotropic

hormone (HCG).

 

Suspicions were aroused when the tetanus vaccine was prescribed in the unusual

dose of five multiple injections over a three month period, and recommended only

to women of reproductive age. When an unusual number of women experienced

vaginal bleeding and miscarriages after the shots, a hormone additive was

uncovered as the cause.

 

 

Apparently the WHO has been developing and testing anti-fertility vaccines for

over two decades. Women receiving the laced tetanus shot not only developed

antibodies to tetanus, but they also developed dangerous antibodies to the

pregnancy hormone as well. Without this HCG hormone the growth of the fetus is

impaired. Consequently, the laced vaccine served as a covert contraceptive

device. Commissioned to analyse the vaccine, the Philippines Medical Association

found that 20 percent of the WHO tetanus vaccines were contaminated with the

hormone. Not surprisingly, the WHO has denied all accusations as “completely

false and without basis,Eand the major media have never reported on the

controversy. For further details on this issue, consult the Human Life

International website (www.hli.org).

 

 

Newly approved vaccines may also pose serious risks. In October 1999 a vaccine

against “rotavirusEinfection (which causes most cases of childhood diarrhea)

was pulled off the market. One year after the RotaShield vaccine was inoculated

into over a million infants, it was found to increase the risk of bowel

obstruction. Almost 100 cases of bowel obstruction were reported to the

government, and twenty infants developed bowel obstructions within one or two

weeks after receiving the vaccine.

 

 

Vaccine Manufacture and Associated Dangers

 

 

Although the public has heard about side effects of vaccines, most people are

clueless about the manufacture of vaccines. Few people know that viruses used in

vaccine production need to be grown on animal parts like monkey kidneys, or in

chicken embryos, or in human and fetal “cell lines.EHarvesting viruses in human

cell-lines can be perilous because some human cell lines are derived from cancer

cells.

 

 

In AIDS & The Doctors of Death I wrote about the development of the first

human “HeLaEcell line Ean “immortalEcell line used extensively in cancer and

vaccine research for decades. Henrietta Lacks was a young black woman from

Baltimore who died from a highly malignant cervical cancer in 1951. Small pieces

of her tumour were donated to a laboratory specialising in tissue cell culture.

In those days most attempts to grow human cells outside the body failed. But for

some unknown reason Henrietta’s cancer cells grew vigorously and became known as

the first successful human tissue cell line in history Ethe now famous HeLa

cell line commemorating the legendary HEnrietta LAcks.

 

 

Henrietta’s cells were kept alive by feeding them a witchesEbrew of beef

embryo extract (the ground-up remains of a three-week-old, unborn cattle

embryo); fresh chicken plasma obtained from the blood of a live chicken heart;

and blood from human placentas (the placenta is the sac that nurtures the

developing fetus and contains powerful hormones).

 

 

It is now suspected that a sexually-transmitted papilloma virus is the cause

of cervical cancer. And it is anybody’s guess how many other chicken, cattle,

and human viruses are incorporated into the HeLa cell line, but none of this

possible viral contamination seems to bother scientists who have extensively

used the cells in cancer research. What laboratory scientists did eventually

discover was that HeLa cells proved so hardy that they frequently contaminated

other tissue cell lines used in cancer and cancer virus research.

 

 

In the late 1960s when widespread HeLa cell contamination problems were

uncovered, scientists were shocked and embarrassed to learn that millions of

dollars worth of published cancer experiments were ruined. “Liver cellsEand

“monkey cellsEthat were used in cancer experiments turned out to be Henrietta’s

cancer cells in disguise. Benign cells that supposedly “spontaneously

transformedEinto malignant cells were found to be cells contaminated with

cancerous HeLa cells.

 

 

The serious problem of HeLa cell contamination in cancer and vaccine research

is revealed in Michael Gold’s A Conspiracy of Cells: One Woman’s Immortal Legacy

and the Medical Scandal It Caused. Even Jonas Salk, who developed the legendary

Salk polio vaccine, was fooled when HeLa cells contaminated his animal cell

lines. He admitted this years later in 1978 before a stunned audience of cell

biologists and vaccine makers. In experiments performed in the late 1950s on

dying cancer patients, Salk tried injecting them with a cell line of monkey

heart tissue Ethe same cell line he used to harvest polio virus for his famous

vaccine. He hoped the monkey cell injections would stimulate the immune system

to fight cancer. However, when abscesses developed at the site of injections,

Salk began to suspect that he might be injecting HeLa cells rather than monkey

cells, and he stopped the experiment.

 

 

Mark Nelson-Rees, a HeLa cell expert and one of the 1978 conference attendees,

offered to test Salk’s line if it was still available. Salk graciously agreed

and the monkey cells indeed proved to be HeLa cells which had invaded and taken

over the monkey cell line. According to author Gold, Salk thought there were

adequate ways to separate viruses from the tissue cell lines they were harvested

in, so that it really didn’t matter what kind of cells were used. Even if

vaccines weren’t filtered, and even if whole cancer cells were injected directly

into a human, Salk believed they would be rejected by the body and cause no

harm. In those days doctors didn’t much believe in cancer-causing viruses.

Nowadays, no researcher would dare try injecting cancer cells into a human

being. But in the 1950s Salk had done it accidentally. He had injected HeLa

cells into a few dozen patients and it hadn’t bothered him a bit.

 

 

Is There a Vaccine Contamination

Connection to AIDS?

 

 

Most people assume vaccines are “sterileEand germ free. But sterilising a

vaccine can destroy the necessary immunising protein that makes it work. Thus,

contaminating viruses or viral “particlesEcan sometime survive the vaccine

process.

 

 

Animal viruses are also contained in fetal calf serum, a blood product

commonly used as a laboratory nutrient to feed various tissue cell cultures.

Vaccine contamination by fetal calf serum and its possible relationship to HIV

was the subject of a letter by J. Grote, published in the Journal of the Royal

(London) Society of Medicine in October 1988. Bovine visna virus (which looks

similar to HIV) is a known contaminant of fetal calf serum used in vaccine

production and virus-like particles have been detected in vaccines certified for

clinical use. Grote warns that “It seems absolutely vital that all vaccines are

screened for HIV prior to use, and that bovine visna virus is further

investigated as to its relationship to HIV and its possible role in progression

towards AIDS.E

 

Could virus-contaminated vaccines lie at the root of AIDS? A few researchers,

including myself, believe HIV was “introducedEinto gays during the experimental

hepatitis B vaccine trials when thousands of homosexuals were injected in Los

Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, during the years 1978-1981.

 

 

The AIDS epidemic first erupted in gays living in those cities in 1981. In

1980, one year before, already 20% of the gays inoculated in Manhattan with the

experimental vaccine were already HIV-positive. This was several years before

definite AIDS cases were diagnosed in Africa. In the early 1970s the hepatitis B

vaccine was developed in chimpanzees, now wildly accepted as the animal from

which HIV supposedly evolved.

 

 

Hepatitis B vaccine was developed to protect people from the sexual spread of

the hepatitis B virus. Now the government recommends that all newborn babies be

given the vaccine [this is also the case in Australia]. Such recommendations do

not make sense to many parents. And people are still fearful of the hepatitis B

vaccine because of its original connection to gay men and AIDS. The original

experimental vaccine was made from the pooled blood serum of hepatitis-infected

homosexuals and, as mentioned, serum-based vaccines cannot be sterilised.

 

 

Another theory of AIDS is that HIV originated from polio vaccines contaminated

with chimp and monkey viruses, and administered to Africans in the late 1950s.

In The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS, published in 1999, Edward

Hooper details how polio vaccine was made using monkey (and possibly chimp)

kidneys and how the ancestor virus of HIV could have jumped species (via the

vaccine) to produce the outbreak of AIDS in Africa. Hooper’s well-researched

book greatly expands the polio vaccine theory of AIDS first reported by Tom

Curtis in Rolling Stone magazine in 1992, and The River is a must-read for

anyone interested in the possible man-made origin of AIDS.

 

 

Other researchers think it more likely that the various WHO-sponsored vaccine

programs (particularly the smallpox program) in Africa in the 1970s are

responsible for unleashing AIDS in Africa in the 1980s. Hooper, who has worked

as a United Nations official, has discounted the research pointing to AIDS as a

man-made disease, as proposed by Dr. Leonard Horowitz in Emerging Viruses, and

in my two books AIDS & The Doctors of Death: An Inquiry into the Origin of the

AIDS Epidemic and Queer Blood: The Secret AIDS Genocide Plot.

 

 

Horowitz and I both suspect contaminated smallpox vaccines as the source of

HIV in Africa. Certainly the smallpox (vaccinia-cowpox) virus is an excellent

virus to use for the genetic engineering of new, multipurpose vaccines. By

splicing into the DNA genes of the vaccinia virus, scientists can add on parts

of disease-producing viruses like influenza, hepatitis, and other viruses. The

safety of this technique has not been fully evaluated, prompting one vaccine

maker at a Vaccinia Virus Workshop in 1984 to ask if this could lead to another

form of AIDS.

 

 

Vaccine Connection to Gulf War Illness and Huntsville Mystery Illness

 

 

The cause of Gulf War Illness (GWI) is unknown. For years this debilitating

illness (which now affects one-half of the Gulf War vets) has been ignored by

Pentagon officials who claim the disease does not exist and that vets are simply

reacting to stress. GWI is also thought to be contagious. Vets insist their

disease has been passed on to spouses, other family members, and even pets.

 

 

Some people suspect multiple vaccines, particularly the experimental anthrax

vaccine, are implicated in the disease. Currently, soldiers who refuse to take

the mandatory anthrax vaccine are being court-martialled and dismissed from the

service.

 

 

Researchers Dr. Garth Nicolson and his wife Nancy have found a tiny bacterial

microbe (a “mycoplasmaE in the blood of nearly half the ill vets with GWI.

Amazingly, this infectious agent has a piece of HIV (the AIDS virus) attached to

it. This microbe could never have occurred naturally. On the contrary, the

composition of the microbe suggests a man-made and genetically-engineered

biological warfare agent.

 

 

Garth Nicolson’s scientific credentials are impeccable. For 16 years he was a

professor of medicine at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre in

Houston, as well as professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the

University of Texas Medical School, also in Houston. Nancy Nicolson, a molecular

biophysicist, was on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine.

 

 

Six months after returning home from the Gulf War, the Nicolson’s daughter

contracted GWI. Her mother Nancy had contracted a similar illness in 1987 when

she was working with Mycoplasma incognitus in infectious disease research.

Finally suspecting that this research had biowarfare implications, Nancy

Nicolson became a whistle-blower and angered officials. As a result, she

believes she was deliberately infected with the mycoplasma. After partial

paralysis and a long illness, she finally regained her health with the

antibiotic Doxycycline.

 

 

The Nicolson’s discovery of a similar mycoplasma (but without the attachment

of HIV) in a mysterious illness that erupted in the Huntsville, Texas area among

prison guards and their families has all the drama of a ‘Movie of the WeekE

Although the Huntsville disease broke out in the late 1980s (shortly before the

Gulf War), it has many of the same signs and symptoms of GWI. Many locals are

convinced the sometimes deadly disease originally spread from prisoners

incarcerated in several large prisons around Huntsville.

 

 

In experiments conducted during the 1970s and 80s, the prisoners were

inoculated with flu vaccines containing genetically engineered viruses and

mycoplasma. It is suspected that vaccines were being covertly developed and

deployed as biological warfare weapons. Nobel prize winner James Watson, world

famous for his discovery of the molecular structure of DNA and a leading

researcher of the still ongoing Human Genome Project, was involved in these

prison experiments. The guards are convinced the Huntsville mystery illness is

intimately connected to these experiments, jointly conducted by the Medical

School and the military. Like GWI, health officials deny the disease exists.

 

 

The Nicolsons continue to developed antibiotic treatments, which have helped

some vets. But they have paid a heavy price for their controversial research and

unprecedented discoveries. Garth Nicolson was forced to resign from M.D.

Anderson in 1996. His career and reputation destroyed, the Nicolsons have since

moved to California and head The Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington

Beach.

 

 

Dangerous Animal and Human Cell Lines

in Vaccine Manufacture

 

 

In an effort to quell concerns about the safety of vaccines, scientists are

finally taking another look at the “non-infectiousEparticles of bird-cancer

viruses (avian leukosis virus) in the mumps/measles/rubella vaccines routinely

given to kids. Could this be the reason the US Federal Drug Administration held

a meeting in September, 1999, to reconsider using human tumour cell lines (like

HeLa) rather than monkey kidneys and chicken embryos which are no longer

guaranteed 100% safe?

 

 

Writing in Science, Gretchen Vogel admits public trust in vaccines is a bit

shaky. In Wales anti-vaccine parents are holding “measles partiesEto infect

their children with the disease rather than vaccinate them. She cites the danger

of using immortal cell lines for live vaccine production because cancer genes or

other hazardous factors might be transferred to people receiving vaccines. But

manufacturers also realise vaccine critics are becoming more wary of vaccines

made in animal and bird tissue. And vaccine makers want to use immortal cell

lines to grow their viruses because obviously viruses can’t grow on their own.

 

 

The big question everyone seems to avoid is: Can vaccines cause cancer? There

is certainly evidence connecting contaminated vaccines to AIDS. And HIV is a

cancer-causing virus. Robert Gallo, the co-discoverer of HIV in 1984, has

clearly stated AIDS is an epidemic of cancer.

 

 

Animal and avian viruses can contaminate vaccines and have all been studied as

cancer-causing agents. And cancer and vaccine research would be much more

difficult without the use of cell lines, some of which are derived from cancer.

 

 

Vaccines and Public Paranoia

 

 

Is the fear of vaccines justified? It is clear that vaccines can be dangerous.

The contamination of vaccines is a reality, and vaccine experiments can be

hazardous to one’s health. AIDS, unknown two decades ago, is now an increasing

worldwide epidemic with millions of death predicted for the next decade. Could

vaccines contaminated with cancer-causing and immunosuppressive viruses unleash

new plagues in the New Millennium? If so, the new plagues may be far worse than

the diseases we eradicated by vaccine programs in the twentieth century.
