Cry of the Heart
The Medical Terror of Vaccinations

The National Vaccine Information Center has been studying reports of vaccine injuries for twenty years and in the last decade they have seen more and more parents reporting that they have taken in their perfectly normal, healthy, high-functioning children to be vaccinated, and then within hours, days or weeks, these children exhibit illness, high fevers, convulsions, and brain inflammation. It seems like an increasing percentage of children start to regress physically, mentally and emotionally after receiving their shots and when the doctors tell parents that it’s all a coincidence, that the vaccines had nothing to do with what happened to their children, the parents are beginning to seriously doubt them.

It is hard for many parents to walk into the doctor’s office and watch their child, who is perfectly well, get a vaccine. As recently as 15 years ago children received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and no more than two shots in a single visit. Now children could receive as many as 20 shots by the time they are 2 years old and as many as five shots in a single visit. For these reasons, parents wonder whether children can handle so many shots at the same time and whether vaccines can overwhelm the immune system. These questions are critical because a strong case is being made today against vaccines and the many dangerous chemicals used in them. More and more clinicians and researchers are beginning to see vaccination programs as being without worth and are now standing up against the goliath of medical paradigms who pretend that vaccines are as safe as mothers milk.

We have been assured of the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for over fifty years yet these seemingly rock-solid assumptions are directly contradicted by government statistics, medical studies, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports, and reputable research of scientists from around the world. In September of 2002, for example, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) report to Congress said that the rate of severity of adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine were considerably greater than advertised. In a random survey of 1,253 guard and reserve pilots and aircrew, the GAO found 84 percent suffered minor reactions and at least 24 percent major multiple “systemic” reactions, the latter more than 100 times higher than the estimate by the manufacturer. It has become more and more apparent that the CDC has a very hard time investigating in an unbiased way what is happening to our children because of ideological and financial conflicts of interest. Thus we have to understand that government approval offers no guarantee of safety at all.

The problem of infant vaccination is one of the great social, economic and spiritual problems of our day. Taught for more than a century as an infallible remedy in medical schools, both public and governments have accepted it as if it were a well-established scientific principle, instead of being, in the words of Dr. Creighton, historian of epidemic diseases, “a grotesque superstition.” Guylaine Lanctot, M.D. stated that sometime in the future, “we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines.” Richard Moskowitz M.D. said, “Vaccines have become sacraments of our faith in biotechnology in the sense that 1) their efficacy and safety are widely seen as self-evident and needing no further proof; 2) they are given automatically to everyone, by force if necessary, but always in the name of the public good; and 3) they ritually initiate our loyal participation in the medical enterprise as a whole. They celebrate our right and power as a civilization to manipulate biological processes for profit, without undue concern for or even any explicit concept of the total health of the populations about to be subjected to them.” Essentially it is just assumed that every civilized person on the planet gives their children vaccinations and the growing swell of informed people who choose not to do that for some very good reasons are scorned and ignored.

It was not that many years ago that four out of five doctors were known to have recommended a certain brand of cigarettes. Fifty years ago doctors puffed away and found nothing wrong with their patients doing the same. Of course, a few activists warned against the dangers of cigarette smoking, but the doctors had their say, dismissing such claims because they never learned in medical school that cigarette smoking was dangerous. There was no opposite viewpoint for physicians to consider, so their minds were made up by clever marketing. Today it is the same with the vaccine story; the big difference is that the harm is being done to children, to the little ones, to the most vulnerable beings who have absolutely no chance to defend themselves.

The fact is that vaccination propaganda has been scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by thousands of media clips over the past few decades. Injected, so to speak, directly into the collective unconscious of humanity. Many basic thoughts and attitudes are continually being shaped and molded deliberately by people and organizations dedicated to this task. There are many issues of import that are purposely fixed in the public consciousness as conventional wisdom. People generally think the same about a broad range of issues because companies have spent hundreds of millions in media marketing over many years to make sure that this is so. Very few people are paying attention to the process of conditioning that they are being subjected to in a Matrix type of manipulation, not by super computers but by mega-corporations and the people who run them. Yet some break through the clouds of ignorance and blindness and there are many medical doctors who will categorically state:

For instance it is believed that asthma, which is an autoimmune disorder, an allergic condition that tops the list of chronic respiratory diseases found in children in Western societies today, is at least partially triggered by vaccinations. A 1997 study published in Science reported “the prevalence of asthma in westernized societies has risen steadily this century, doubling in the last 20 years. Asthma now affects one child in seven in Great Britain, and in the United States it causes one-third of pediatric emergency room visits.” In 1995, the CDC reported that, between 1982 and 1992, asthma increased 52 per cent for persons between the ages of five and 34 years old, and deaths from asthma increased 42 per cent. In a 1997 issue of Epidemiology, New Zealand researchers hypothesized that “it is theoretically possible that immunization may contribute to the development of allergic disease.” Of 1,265 New Zealanders born in 1977, 23 received no childhood vaccinations, and none suffered childhood asthma. Among the 1,242 who got polio and DPT shots, 23 per cent later had episodes of asthma, 23 per cent had asthma consultations, and 30 per cent had consultations for other allergic illness. Their conclusion was, “The findings presented here are consistent with the hypothesis that some component of infant immunization may increase the risk of developing asthma in childhood.” If this is true expect to hear your doctor or local medical board insisting that is better to have asthma for a lifetime than for your child to get sick from a childhood infectious disease.

The Austin American Statesman, like most of the mass media in the first world, stands up for the mass enforced vaccination of children, but the cracks are beginning to show. With immoral pungency they still communicate to the public, “the overall good of the required immunization of children is unquestioned.” Thus the Austin American is pressing for new legislation in Texas “requiring” children are immunized before enrolling in school. “Certainly, there are children who suffer side effects from immunization, but rarely are they serious. Serious side effects from immunization range from one in thousands to one in millions, according to the CDC. Immunization has saved thousands of lives, and there is ‘little evidence’ that vaccination contributes to serious illness or death.” The cracks are represented by the admission that there is ‘some’ evidence but the net effect of such communications from reputable newspapers, including the New York Times, is to condone a massive campaign to poison newborn infants starting from the very first day of life. There is abundant information proclaiming the benefits of vaccination and it is the exceptionally rare occasion when we see the mainstream media raise questions about it. Yet in all other matters of health and consumer issues, it is generally agreed that children benefit the most when parents hear all points of view on controversial issues.

Bertrand Russell said, “I have seen the world plunging continually further into madness. I have seen cruelty, persecution, and superstition increasing by leaps and bounds” In the following pages you will see ample evidence that this madness and cruelty is targeted on the newborns from the first moments of life. You will hear in these pages the testimony of many doctors and other health care professionals who together paint a picture that only the uncaring and criminally ignorant will ignore. It’s really parents worst possible nightmare come true, it seems that parents have been duped into thinking they were doing something beneficial for their children by getting them vaccinated when in fact their children are being hurt. A horror has come crashing into many family lives but in the same vein that many deny the holocaust of fifty years ago, doctors, nurses; health care officials, newspapers and television deny that anything is happening at all. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. puts it all very well when he says, “The vaccine manufacturers, the Center for Disease Control, the FDA, and the various medical associations have failed miserably in their duty to protect our children. Rather than acknowledge their role in creating the immense, catastrophic rise in autism, these organizations have resorted to denial and obfuscation. They stand to lose their credibility, and billions of dollars in liability suits will soon reach the courts.”

When Elizabeth had her first DPT/OPV vaccination at age 2 months, she was a smiling, happy baby. I can still remember the extreme high pitch scream after the vaccination that lasted for several hours.

She sounded like a wounded animal, crying out for help. She developed a low-grade temperature and some redness at the sight. I discussed this with her pediatrician, who informed me that I was an overly concerned Mom because I was older and this was my first child and Elizabeth had had a normal reaction. Her second vaccination was at age 4 _ months. At this time, Elizabeth was sitting; she was passing things from hand to hand, and getting around by rolling. The afternoon of her second vaccination, she had her first seizure, although I did not know what it was at that time. She was lying on the floor in front of me. I can still see her little left leg shaking for several seconds. I called the pediatrician, who told me this was normal, the sign of an immature nervous system. "Stop worrying!" the office told me. Over the next 2-3 weeks I continued to see these spells, accompanied by a decline in function. One day she fell over in her high chair, unable to sit any longer. She could no longer use her left hand. We thought she had shown a hand preference, not knowing that this did not develop for many months later. One Saturday night, I was holding her hand while it started shaking. She had a temperature and I couldn’t stop the shaking. I KNEW that no matter what the pediatrician was telling me, something was very wrong. We took Elizabeth to the emergency room. They told us to stop worrying, she had a little virus. When it got worse that evening, I took her to another hospital, who said she may have had a focal seizure, call the pediatrician on Monday, "Go home and stop worrying!" We got home and that afternoon, our beautiful baby girl had a generalized seizure and stopped breathing. Life has never been the same.

There is no longer any serious doubt that health officials are covering up a big story, trying to side step a growing swell of evidence that threatens the very foundation of medical science and practice. It is obvious that the medical profession cannot afford to have the public ever find out the truth about vaccination for there is simply just too much at stake for them. The key question is why so many people are in denial, unwilling to admit the obvious evidence that suggests we are risking our children’s lives and health when we bring them to the doctors for a shot. It’s difficult because if you admit to yourself that such a thing is happening, you have a moral obligation to demand a complete investigation and change in common medical procedures; but this brings us face to face with a powerful, ruthless political medical money machine that is not democratic or open to any truth but its own. It’s a scary prospect challenging basic assumptions upon which so much hinges. Yet what is the alternative if we can’t find people with courage and a commitment to truth, allow babies all over the world to be risked on the alters/medical tables in clinics all over the world? One woman who lost her child, Christine Colebeck wrote, “When I first began to educate parents about the dangers of vaccinations, I was horrified to realize not only are many parents ignorant to the facts but that they PREFER to be ignorant. They don’t want to take the time to educate themselves before making a choice and that ignorance can cost them the most precious gift they have.”

Either there is an unprecedented increase in the number of people who commit infanticide or early childhood vaccinations are causing not only an alarming number of deaths, but also an epidemic of other disorders that have no other explanation. Today a number of babies are dieing within days or within two to four weeks of birth after the hepatitis B vaccination, as well as several others that are given in the first days and months of a baby’s life. My daughter Lyla Rose Belkin died on September 16, 1998 at the age of five weeks, about 15 hours after receiving her second Hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. Lyla was a lively, alert five-week-old baby when I last held her in my arms. Little did I imagine as she gazed intently into my eyes with all the innocence and wonder of a newborn child that she would die that night. She was never ill before receiving the Hepatitis B shot that afternoon. At her final feeding that night, she was extremely agitated, noisy and feisty -- and then she fell asleep suddenly and stopped breathing. The autopsy ruled out choking, The NY Medical Examiner ruled her death Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). But the NY Medical Examiner (Dr. Persechino) neglected to mention Lyta's swollen brain or the hepatitis B vaccine in the autopsy report. The coroner spoke to my wife and I and our pediatrician (Dr. Zullo) the day of the autopsy and clearly stated that her brain was swollen. The pediatrician Dr. Zullo's notes of that conversation are

The CDC’s files contain 32,731 total reports of possible reactions following Hepatitis B shots since 1991, including 10,915 emergency room visits, 685 life-threatening reactions, 3,700 hospitalizations, 1,200 disabilities and 618 deaths. The vaccine of hepatitis B seems to be much more dangerous than the traditional vaccine because it inoculates into the body cells that are foreign to its genetic code. Bonnie Dunbar, PhD, professor of Cell Biology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, investigated whether the genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine “tricks” the immune systems of genetically susceptible individuals into attacking their own bodies, causing debilitating autoimmune and brain dysfunction. Recombinant hepatitis B vaccines contain polypeptide sequences similar to those present in human brain tissues such as myelin. It is known that viral polypeptides can induce autoimmune diseases resembling multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. There are many possible avenues of attack that vaccines can take in hurting young children. Some are obvious like the inclusion of toxic nerve poisons used as preservatives and other avenues like invasive and destabilizing protein structures that take more time to do their dirty work.

In the case of hepatitis B vaccines we are seeing something particularly frightening at work. We are seeing madness as doctors and nurses are inexcusably letting themselves be hoodwinked into giving dangerous shots FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. One might as well vaccinate babies for car accidents they might get into as adults for hepatitis B is not an infectious childhood disease yet in 1991, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommended vaccinating all newborns before discharge from the hospital nursery. Spread through infected body fluids, primarily blood, it is most prevalent in high-risk adult populations such as intravenous drug users, prisoners, and individuals with multiple sexual partners, those undergoing blood transfusions, and health care workers exposed to infected blood.

Doctors reported only about 10,000 hepatitis B cases in the U.S. in 1997 with only 306 occurring in children under 14. The only babies at risk are those born to hepatitis B-infected mothers. In 1996, only 54 cases of the disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the 0 to 1 age group. There were 3.9 million births that year, so the observed incidence of hepatitis B in the 0 to 1 age group was just 0.001 percent. In the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 alone in the 0 to 1 age group, with 47 deaths reported. One can only wonder if the fact that Merck, the maker of the hepatitis B vaccine, making about $1 billion a year from vaccine sales, has had any influence on the CDC. One has to seriously question, knowing the fact that the central nervous system of a newborn infant is particularly susceptible to toxic influences, why children are being, in mass, lined up for this immunization that they do not need.

Almost every newborn U.S. baby is now greeted on its entry into the world by a vaccine injection against a sexually transmitted disease for which the baby is not at risk. Originally the CDC tried to give the shots to teens and to get junkies, prostitutes, homosexuals and promiscuous heterosexuals to take the vaccine but it was hard to get them to show up for all three doses. So in effect the CDC said, ‘Well, we’ve got a captive audience with newborns so lets play it safe and give it to them.’ And even though the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS) itself opposes the campaign for universal immunization against hepatitis B the CDC insists on vaccinating all newborns and young children against hepatitis B on the grounds that they may act irresponsibly later in life but the vaccine manufacturers themselves don’t know how long vaccine-induced immunity will last. The AAPS is a nationwide organization of physicians devoted to defending the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship. AAPS revenue is derived almost exclusively from membership dues. They receive no government funding, foundation grants, or revenue from vaccine manufacturers. Whereas the CDC and the FDA are staffed by people tied in many ways with the vaccine industry. The conflict of interest is telling and the price is a river of suffering without end. The issue of over the hepatitis B vaccine exposes an audacious arrogance on the part of not only the pharmaceutical companies but also the medical profession and medical agencies as a whole. The information given to parents about this vaccine is a travesty and does not meet the requirements for full disclosure to parents in any way. The medical manipulations around this issue are obvious. When CDC medical officials say, “getting the disease is far more likely to cause serious illness than getting the vaccine,” they are deliberately playing on the medical ignorance of the layperson. Doctor Jane Orient testified before congress that though “This may be literally true, but it is seriously misleading if the risk of getting the disease is nearly zero (as is true for most American newborns).” And to top off this medical madness Merck & Co. stated in its 1996 product insert, “The duration of the protective effect of [the vaccine] in healthy vaccinees is unknown at present, and the need for booster doses is not yet defined.” The children not only do not need the vaccination against Hepatitis B, but also, even if they did sometime later in life, there is no assurance that the vaccination at birth would protect them in their teens or twenties. Information given to parents about this vaccine often does not meet the requirement for full disclosure. For example, it may state that

It is truly a sad day for humanity when it puts its own children at risk, and profoundly sad that most people will not take a clear and careful look at all the information available, preferring to remain ignorant and thus condemning an unknown amount of newborns to death or serious harm. Infanticide is arguably the most brutal and destructive manifestation of the anti-female bias that has pervaded “patriarchal” societies for several millenniums and now it does seem that medical science has assumed the reins of terror. When federal health officials and pediatricians refrain from warning the public about risks out of fear that parents will stop immunizing their children, they are using the full powers of their positions to participate in the murder of thousands of infants and the hurtful and unlawful damage of hundreds of thousands of others.

In the May 24, 1996, New Zealand Medical Journal, J. Barthelow Classen, MD, a former researcher at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that juvenile diabetes increased 60 per cent following a massive hepatitis B vaccination campaign for babies six weeks or older in New Zealand from 1988 to 1991. In the October 22, 1997, Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, Classen showed that Finland’s incidence of diabetes increased 147 per cent in children under five after three new vaccines were introduced in the 1970s, and that diabetes increased 40 per cent in children aged 5 to 9 after the addition of the MMR and Hib vaccines in the 1980s. He concluded, “the rise in IDDM [juvenile onset diabetes] in the different age groups correlated with the number of vaccines given.”

Despite the fact that dozens of doctors, researchers, and independent investigators have reveal serious flaws in immunization theory and practice the medical profession is still not interested in seeing or understanding the campaign of terror they are inflicting on families. Nurses, pediatricians and parents are almost completely unaware of alarming reports and findings that have been accumulating for decades for there are forces and financial interests that are dedicated to keeping it this way. It has been said that, “The medical profession is a great trade union. By means of this trade unionism we have acquired immense power, which is yearly increasing. People cannot be born without us; they cannot die without us,” said Dr. Allinson back in 1883.

Perhaps the profession has become intoxicated on its own power, and is no longer conscious of realities that violate the very principles of compassionate medicine and health care. Today something has changed and very few doctors listen to parents of autistic children, SIDS, or other vaccine damaged children, or if they listen to them, very few believe what parents are telling them. There was a time when doctors took time to listen to their patients, and equally important, took very seriously the information given to them. They believed what their eyes told them, and deduced diagnoses based on their observations and questions. Now without diagnostic tests they feel incredibly insecure to trust their own perceptions partially because of malpractice suits, and are even more afraid to perceive anything that contradicts the formal line of the AMA, FDA and CDC. They can literally be killing kids with injectable poisons but few can come up with the courage to stop as long as the main medical organizations say it’s as safe as apple pie.

With this kind of attitude children can be wheeled into a hospital’s emergency room only hours after being vaccinated and most doctors will not make the simple logical connection that the cause of the medical emergency was the vaccination shot. Even if a child dies soon after doctors and nurses do not get it, because they do not want to get it, because they know in getting it they will be themselves confronting a lockstep that can pull their licensees or make their lives difficult in a number of different ways. After reading this introduction, and in the full reading of this book, one can only wonder at statements from mainstream institutions like:

How does one define the word safe? “If safe is defined as ‘free from any negative effects’ then vaccines aren’t safe. All vaccines have possible side effects,” states the Children’s hospital of Philadelphia. It is interesting to note the contradiction from this pro-vaccination institution. Like most medical institutions they insist that these side effects are mild and rare. Mild and rare are the watchwords of the medical and vaccine community. Mild and rare, mild and rare, mild and rare, if you say it enough times perhaps you will believe it. The fact is that the vast majority of us have bought this hook line and sinker; and the sad fact is that many thousands of families have paid a price in terms of massive suffering, agony and death.

It has become difficult to trust doctors when we remember when they wanted every child’s tonsils out. Now mothers have to wonder why doctors now insist that they should stay in. Where doctors once prescribed antibiotics for every sore throat, prescription-dependent patients are now being blamed for new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A new drug promoted as a lifesaver today is sometimes pulled off the market tomorrow for killing those who took it. Today vaccines are considered safe, tomorrow they will be seen as the most dangerous substances known to humankind.

Vaccination against childhood infectious diseases is one of the most sacred cows of modern medicine and, according to Professor Campbell, a Professor of Family Medicine in New Zealand, “any doctor who questions its safety is either foolhardy or very brave.” The buck stops with the parents though, it is they who have to decide, and it is they who give permission for the doctors and nurses to inject their children with vaccines. They cannot afford to be foolhardy or ignorant. They must inform themselves and this book is dedicated to that process.
