ACLU on Preserving Personal Liberties During Disease Epidemics
American history contains vivid reminders that grafting the values of law enforcement and national security onto public health is both ineffective and dangerous. Too often, fears aroused by disease and epidemics have justified abuses of state power. Highly discriminatory and forcible vaccination and quarantine measures adopted in response to outbreaks of the plague and smallpox […]
Joseph Mercola, DO On How Antibodies Are Not a Good Measure of Immunity
One of the major arguments against vaccine-induced immunity is that it primarily stimulates the humoral immune system and not the cellular immune system. Antibodies are produced by the humoral immune system and then routinely measured to determine ‘immunity. The problem with this approach is that you can have high antibody levels and still get the […]
Gregory Poland, MD and Robert Jacobson, MD on How Measles Can Occur Primarily in Vaccinated People
Receiving less attention […] is the issue of vaccine failure. … Multiple studies demonstrate that 2–10% of those immunized with two doses of measles vaccine fail to develop protective antibody levels, and […] immunity can wane over time and result in infection (so-called secondary vaccine failure) when the individual is exposed to measles. For example, […]
Chris Exley, PhD on the Link Between Aluminum in Vaccines and Autism
When we looked in the autism brain tissues, we found nearly all of the aluminum was, first of all, inside cells, but not even inside neurocells but inside what are called the housekeeping cells of the brain—the glial cells, the microglia or, indeed, cells which are called inflammatory or pro-inflammatory cells. Now, these are cells […]
Robert Zajac, MD on How Unvaccinated Kids are Healthier Than Vaccinated Kids
In the next two years [after I began my practice], I noticed that there was a separation in my patient population. There were patients who were seeing the local chiropractor who were healthier than my other patients, and they were doing some other things for their health other than just taking medication for whatever condition […]
Barbara Loe Fisher on Vaccine Failures
The public conversation about several hundred cases of measles reported in the U.S. this year is focused on whether every parent has a social obligation to vaccinate every child to maintain “community immunity,” but vaccine failures are rarely discussed. Emerging science reveals that there are differences in naturally and vaccine acquired immunity, and both vaccinated […]
