Vaccine Companies Investigated for Manslaughter

vaccine, vaccination, shotA formal investigation has been launched by French authorities against two managers from drug companies GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur. A second investigation for manslaughter has also been opened against Sanofi Pasteur MSD.

The investigations are in response to allegations that the companies failed to fully disclose side effects from an anti-hepatitis B drug used between 1994 and 1998.

During this time, close to two-thirds of the French population, and almost all newborn babies, received a hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccination campaign was halted after concerns rose over the shot’s side effects.

Thirty plaintiffs, including the families of five people who died after the vaccination, have launched a civil action in the case against the drug companies.

In the United States, the hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all newborns before they are discharged from the hospital. These recommendations are inexcusable.

It finally seems that the drug companies will be held responsible for the consequences of giving this dangerous vaccine to infants.

Why it Makes No Sense to Give the Hepatitis B Vaccine to Newborns

Folks, let’s make on thing perfectly clear here, hepatitis B is VERY difficult to catch. You nearly always need to have blood or sexual contact of some sort with an infected carrier. That is why the main risk factors for hepatitis B are IV drug abusers and those who engage in sex with multiple partners.

This, of course, makes it nearly impossible for a newborn to contract hepatitis B, unless his mother already has it.

Further, vaccine-derived immunity is thought to be short-lived, and between 30 percent to 50 percent of vaccinated individuals may lose their antibodies within seven years.

Meanwhile, up to 60 percent of people who initially respond will lose detectable antibodies within 12 years. So that means that by the time these newborns get to the age when they could potentially engage in the risky behaviors that would put them at risk of hepatitis B, their childhood vaccine will provide little to no protection.

The central nervous system of a newborn infant is also particularly susceptible to toxic influences. This is one of the reasons why the hepatitis B vaccine is such a problem. If it were given later in life, as is done in many other countries, it would not be as problematic.

Even so, this vaccine is still associated with numerous side effects, such as an increased risk of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid diseases.

Do Your Homework Before Vaccinating: The Drug Companies Won’t do it For You

Aside from highlighting the extreme lack of common sense that goes along with vaccinating a newborn against a disease they have a rare chance of getting until they’re much older, this article points out, once again, that the drug companies are not on your side.

Their primary motivation is in making profits, and if that means covering up side effects to make you believe a vaccination is safe, they will likely do it.

Remember, you do have the right to refuse vaccinations, and there are two basic axioms you should never forget.

    1. Nobody, anywhere or any time and under any circumstances has the right or power in this country to immunize you or your children against your will and conviction. If they attempt to do so, you can legally charge them with "assault with a deadly weapon" and have the full resources of the law behind you.

    2.  At all times in attempting to avoid unwanted immunization, you have the Law of the Land behind you. Those who would try to vaccinate you against your will are on very shaky ground. Into every compulsory immunization law in America are written legal exceptions and waivers, which are there specifically to protect you from the attempted tyranny of officialdom. It is not only your right, but your obligation to use them, if this is what your conscience tells you.

While all 50 states have immunization requirements, 28 allow parents to opt out for medical or religious reasons. Another 20 states allow parents to opt out for personal or philosophical reasons as well.

My previous article, How to Avoid Unwanted Immunizations of All Kinds, lays out your opt-out steps in greater detail. There is also an entire chapter in my book Take Control of Your Health devoted to this very topic, including what you should know before vaccinating, and what to do if you decide not to.

How Vaccines Can Damage Your Brain

By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., CCN

It has been estimated that 14.8 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder and of this number 6 million are elderly. If we include anxiety disorders, which commonly accompany depression, the number jumps to 40 million adults.

Depression later in life tends to last longer and be more severe than at younger ages. It is also associated with a high rate of suicide. Previously, it was thought that major depression was secondary to a deficiency in certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly the monoamines, which include serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.

While alterations in these important mood-related neurotransmitters is found with major depression, growing evidence indicates that the primary culprit is low-grade, chronic brain inflammation.

This exclusive article will review in detail the functions and impact of various agents on depression and neurodegeneration, including:

    *
      The impact of MSG on your brain and mood
    *
      The link between elevated brain glutamate and inflammation
    *
      The connections between pesticides and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease
    *
      How vaccinations cause brain inflammation
    *
      The impact of an expanding vaccine schedule for the elderly
    *
      The shocking truth, linking brain inflammation to neurodegenerative diseases
    *
      How vaccine additives such as mercury and aluminum impact your brain health
    *
      The real danger of live virus vaccines

Current recommendations by the CDC for adult vaccinations include a total of 14 separate inoculations with infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants.

According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease are separated by no more than 4 weeks, which is close enough together to trigger a smoldering process of brain inflammation and excitotoxicity that can not only result in depression, anxiety and high suicide rates, but can increase your risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative diseases as well.

We have also seen that in many cases a person will be injected with several vaccines during a single office visit and this means that their body is exposed to a very large dose of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies, using many animal species as well as humans, have shown that this overactivates brain inflammatory mechanisms that can last for years.

I urge you to read Dr. Blaylock’s full-length article, Vaccines, Depression and Neurodegeneration After Age 50: Another Reason to Avoid the Recommended Vaccines, a Mercola.com exclusive, for a fascinating in-depth look at how neurodegenerative diseases are created, and how to protect yourself from what many consider to be simply side effects of the ravages of time -- but are anything but a natural byproduct of aging.

Dr. Mercola   Dr. Mercola's Comments:

First, I’d like to thank Dr. Russell Blaylock for his highly informative article on this vital issue. He is one of my main contributing editors, and a valued colleague and friend. As a board-certified neurosurgeon who has written over 30 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, Dr. Blaylock is an expert in the field of excitotoxicity.  His papers on the connection between excitotoxicity and fluoride neurotoxiocity, and autism and the Gulf War Syndrome have received praise from leading authorities in each of these areas of research.

I realize that the issue of vaccination is quite controversial and is one of the bedrocks of "prevention" in conventional medicine and that anyone who opposes them is viewed as a dangerous quack and threat to the public health. I understand this because this was precisely the view I had when I graduated medical school.

However, after more than two decades of practice, I encountered hundreds of vaccine casualties that spurred me to carefully review the evidence, and I came to a completely different conclusion.

Those at Greatest Risk are Getting the Most Vaccinations

Both infants and the elderly are high-risk groups when it comes to the destructive impact vaccines can have on their health. And yet, these are the two groups targeted with the most recommended vaccines – often being given multiple shots at a time.

I strongly encourage you to review the evidence before you expose yourself or your children to these potentially dangerous injections. I am convinced that their questionable benefits are far outweighed by their dangerous side effects.

As Dr. Blaylock explained in detail above, vaccinations are highly neurotoxic, and are associated with many neurological disorders, such as:
Degenerative Brain Disorder
ADD
Autism
Epilepsy and convulsions
Mental Retardation
Depression and Anxiety
Central Nervous System Disorders
Paralysis
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Nerve Deafness
Blindness
SIDS

For example, autism was virtually unheard of before vaccinations; its emergence precisely parallels mass vaccination programs. ADD and learning disorders in children are also now being traced to childhood vaccinations. Brain damage, at any age, is by far the most common adverse reaction associated with vaccinations, although their actual numbers are not often reported correctly.

Don’t Trade the Flu for Dementia

Vaccines, ALL vaccines, are immune suppressing, meaning they lower your immune functions. The chemicals and adjuvants in the vaccines depress your immune system; the virus present depresses immune function, and the foreign DNA/RNA from animal tissues depresses immunity -- that is the trade-off you are risking.

The medical thought is that it’s okay to trade a small overall immune depression for immunity to one disease. However, this trade is not at all in your favor when you consider the fact that you’re trading a TOTAL immune system depression, which is your main defense against ALL known disease -- including millions of pathogens, for a temporary immunity against just one disease. And that’s optimistic; many vaccines simply do not work and offer no immunity whatsoever.

There are alternate and vastly safer methods of protecting yourself and your children against disease, and it all begins with a truly healthy diet, as outlined in my eating plan.

Of course, drug manufacturers and the governments they have purchased don't want you to believe that the foods you consume, and the lifestyle habits you adopt are the PRIMARY SOLUTIONS to establishing immunity to diseases and living longer.

Avoiding vaccinations of all kinds tends to look like the better choice the more you know about the subject, and doing your research could literally mean the difference between life and death.
