Pentagon: Vaccines may have killed soldier
Fri Jun 23, 1:11 PM ET

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - A Fort Bragg paratrooper's death may have been caused by vaccinations he received for smallpox and influenza, the Pentagon said Shocked

Pfc. Christopher "Justin" Abston, 26, of Smiths Grove, Ky., died unexpectedly in his barracks Dec. 4, 16 days after receiving the vaccines.

"The expert panel cautioned that the findings pointing to vaccinations were neither probable nor unlikely, but they do suggest the possibility that the vaccines may have caused Abston's death," the Army statement said.

The statement said the smallpox vaccine Abston received is known to cause an inflammation of the heart muscle or myocarditis, a condition found at his autopsy.

No vaccinia virus � the main ingredient of smallpox vaccine � was found in his heart muscle, but evidence of another virus, parvovirus B19, was detected. Natural infection with parvovirus B19 is another known cause of heart inflammation and death, the statement said.

The United States ended routine childhood vaccination against smallpox in 1971, and the World Health Organization reported the disease was eradicated in 1980.

But about 15 months after the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. government ordered certain military personnel vaccinated and recommended shots for front-line health care workers.

Maryland Nurse Died from Smallpox Vaccine Administered
Despite Opposition


A comprehensive vaccine program should include a comprehensive compensation program for those injured.

Andrea Deerheart Cornitcher, 55, a nurse in Salisbury, MD volunteered to take the smallpox vaccination after the Bush Administration unveiled its plan to have all health care professionals vaccinated in response to 9/11.



On March 23, 2003, five days after receiving the vaccine, Andrea had a heart attack and died. The evening before her death, Andrea began vomiting and collapsed in the Arlington home of a friend, but they
thought she had food poisoning
. Sadly, they were wrong�she had a heart attack and died during the night.

Andrea was the first of three people to die within the same week in March 2003 of a heart attack after receiving the smallpox vaccine. Virginia Jorgensen, 57, a nurse's assistant in Florida, was vaccinated and died on March 26, ten days after suffering a heart attack. And, Lloyd Clements Jr., a 55-year-old national guardsman on active duty, died of a heart attack on the same day, a mere two days after his inoculation.

After these deaths from heart attacks, the smallpox vaccination program was put on hold

Vaccines are not without risk. This is why we don't get the small pox vaccine anymore. But the small risk is well worth thousands and thousands of dying.

Parents Use Religion To Avoid Vaccines
By STEVE LeBLANC, Associated Press Writer
Wed Oct 17, 6:19 PM ET

BOSTON - Sabrina Rahim doesn't practice any particular faith, but she had no problem signing a letter declaring that because of her deeply held religious beliefs, her 4-year-old son should be exempt from the vaccinations required to enter preschool.

She is among a small but growing number of parents around the country who are claiming religious exemptions to avoid vaccinating their children when the real reason may be skepticism of the shots or concern they can cause other illnesses. Some of these parents say they are being forced to lie because of the way the vaccination laws are written in their states.

"It's misleading," Rahim admitted, but she said she fears that earlier vaccinations may be to blame for her son's autism. "I find it very troubling, but for my son's safety, I feel this is the only option we have."

An Associated Press examination of states' vaccination records and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that many states are seeing increases in the rate of religious exemptions claimed for kindergartners.

"Do I think that religious exemptions have become the default? Absolutely," said Dr. Paul Offit, head of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and one of the harshest critics of the anti-vaccine movement. He said the resistance to vaccines is "an irrational, fear-based decision."

The number of exemptions is extremely small in percentage terms and represents just a few thousand of the 3.7 million children entering kindergarten in 2005, the most recent figure available.

Vaccines are not without some risk but the standard course of vaccines any child should get in North America is not scary. Vaccines along with indoor plumbing are the reasons we get to live until age 80.

Do you have any real proof of this? There have been so many changes in society since the days when people supposedly had shorter lifespans ... I've heard that one of the biggest differences is the way statistics are kept. In other words, we only think we're living much longer than people of previous generations.

You'll notice at age 65 it's remained fairly stable. The changes to the average come in because the average is dragged down when large numbers of people die young. In 1900 a lot more babies and children were obviously dying. They were dying from childhood diseases we've eliminated (vaccines), infection (antibiotics), parasites (indoor plumbing).

Rolling Eyes

If you only knew what was in them Vaccinations... and ask any doctor if they vaccinate their children, you'll get a no-no from about 90% of them, I wonder why... maybe it's because they know what's in it.

Take a look at this list... http://www.opposingdigits.com/vaccines/ and it will enable you to go further with the matter!!!
Lots of videos too, opposing the propaganda of "Vaccinations are Safe" for you yes, but not for us (Those who design these ineffective time-bombs!!!)

$85,000+ to the first MD to drink Vaccine Ingredients

From:
http://www.vaclib.org/links/jockslinks.htm#press

Quote:
Ojai, CA -- On January 29, 2001, Jock Doubleday offered $20,000 to the first U.S.-licensed medical doctor or pharmaceutical company CEO to publicly drink a mixture of standard vaccine additive ingredients:

http://www.mercola.com/2001/feb/10/vaccine_offer.htm

The offer had no takers.

On August 1, 2006, Doubleday increased the $20,000 offer to $75,000:

http://www.vaclib.org/links/jockslinks.htm#press

The new offer had no takers.

Therefore .

. . as of June 1, 2007, the $75,000 offer will increase to $80,000;
as of July 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $85,000;
as of August 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $90,000;
as of September 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $95,000;
as of October 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $100,000;
as of November 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $105,000;
as of December 1, 2007, the offer will increase to $110,000;
as of January 1, 2008, the offer will increase to $115,000 . . . etc.


The offer will increase $5,000 per month, in perpetuity, until an M.D. or pharmaceutical company CEO, or any of the 14 relevant members of the ACIP (see below), agree to drink a body-weight calibrated dose of the poisonous vaccine additives that M.D.s routinely inject into children in the name of health.

This offer, dated April 25, 2007, has no expiration date unless superceded by a similar offer of higher remuneration.


Maybe you could step up to the plate...

No.

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/116/5/e623

Conclusions. Ninety-three percent of the surveyed physicians agree with the current official vaccination recommendations and would apply them to their own children. However, the observation that 5% of nonpediatricians would not use Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine if they had a child born in 2004 is unexpected and concerning. In contrast, both groups gave additional vaccines than those recommended to their own children. Among physicians in Switzerland interested in immunization, a significant proportion of nonpediatricians decline or delay the immunization of their own children with the recommended MMR- or DTP-based combination vaccines, which indicates that clarification of misconceptions such as fear of "immune overload" has not yet reached important targets among health care providers who thus are unlikely to answer parental concerns adequately.

What peer reviewed source gives you your 90% figure? That's a pretty round number. Odd.

What 3 items at that web site do you find most compelling? Summarize and we'll discuss them here.

I've actually talked to this guy. First his test has about 14 steps. You have to read three of his books, you have to undergo a psychological test to prove you're sane enough to take his test. I really don't know many doctors that even have the time. I suggested to him why not simply offer the money to any doctor willing to have his own child undergo a normal course of vaccinations. He had no good answer for that other than "the test is the test". If, as the test implies, no sane doctor would jab himself, it sure seems no sane doctor would jab his/her 2 year old. Oddly, as the peer reviewed paper above indicates, doctors do this all the time.

Thanks for the links, MM2. I'll have to look into all this later when I have some time.
