From the August 2006 Idaho Observer:

Vaccines: How deadly are they?

by Ingri Cassel

Over the past several months I have come across people who should know just how deadly vaccines are from either personal experience or simply knowing me and my work with Vaccination Liberation. However, due to repeated programming over the years or simply a LOT of pressure at the emergency room, they have succumbed to the medical staff’s insistence that they get a tetanus vaccine. Rather than ask exactly what is in the tetanus vaccine—such as a demand to see the package inserts and the lot number so that they know if they are getting diphtheria and tetanus, or simply tetanus toxoid with all the other additives, they have all acquiesced to the "experts" on staff with devastating and often debilitating results.

As a result of hearing their stories, I decided that a rant on this particular topic is appropriate. I am currently appealing to our VacLib co-directors, VacLib chapter leaders, VacLib members and ALL people who have done some research into the real effects of vaccines on the human body to write an essay on their answer to one question: Which would YOU choose if given a choice – a lead bullet in your arm OR a vaccine injected into your arm?

The reason I felt this was a good analogy was the looming threat of forced vaccination of the entire population that can happen as a result of either a perceived threat of a biological weapons attack on our nation or a few "confirmed" cases of avian flu. Although many people are waking up to the myriad of shenanigans our federal government is capable of, just as many cannot seem to shake the false belief that the development of vaccines have spared humanity from certain annihilation from infectious diseases.

However, all people can understand that a bullet shot into the body has the potential to kill. Following is my essay on this topic.

If I were to have the choice of receiving a lead bullet or an experimental vaccine into my arm, my choice would most certainly be a lead bullet. To clarify, we are not talking about modern munitions that would likely blow off your entire arm. The hideous effects of modern munitions compared to the genetically modified pathogens in today’s vaccines may make this choice a difficult one. However, my point is to illustrate just how deadly vaccines are to the normal functioning of our bodies so that our collective resistance to forced medical experimentation will become a reality.

I am hoping people will wake up to the analogy that lining people up for forced injections is akin to lining people up along a wall and shooting them. Although you may not die immediately from an injection, permanent disability or a future autoimmune disease can be a likely outcome.

In the October, 2005 Back to Basics column, I discussed just how important a clean bloodstream is as the foundation of vitality and sound health. Through iridology and live blood cell analysis, a naturopath can determine the general state of a person’s health. The naturopaths who use these diagnostic tools have shared with me how they can see in a patient’s eyes and through their blood the devastating effects of vaccines and their link to their patient’s current ailments. Although vaccines are injected into the lymphatic system, vaccine poisons also enter into the bloodstream affecting all organ systems.

What are in vaccines besides the known pathogens?

In alphabetical order, the following additives and/or residual ingredients from the manufacturing process are in licensed vaccines administered to children and adults today: aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, aluminum potassium sulfate, amino acids, ammonium sulfate, amphotericin B, beta-propiolactone, benzethonium chloride, brilliant green (a dye), chlortetracycline, DNA, EDTA, egg protein, fetuin (a bovine serum protein), formaldehyde, formalin, gelatin, gentamicin, glycerine, glycine protein, human serum albumin, hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), hydrogen peroxide, kanamycin, lactose, magnesium stearate, MSG, mouse serum protein, MRC-5 cellular protein, neomycin, ovalbumin, phenol, 2-phenoxyethanol, phosphate buffers, polydimethylsilozone, polyethylene glycol p-isooctylphenyl ether (Triton X-100), polymyxin B, polyoxyethyline 9-10 nonylphenol, octoxynol-9, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, potassium glutamate, silicon, sodium acetate, sodium bisulfate, sodium borate, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, streptomycin, sucrose, thimerosal, tri(n)butylphosphate, and yeast protein.

[An excellent MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) summary of the various additives in today’s licensed vaccines is memorialized in a pdf document called Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary and can be found at http://users.adelphia.net/~cdc/MSDSwithVaxInsertInfo.pdf. The document originated from the CDC’s own website and has been removed for obvious reasons.]

You may not know what many of the above ingredients are but, most importantly, do you know and understand how your body responds when pathogens cultured in decaying tissue of both animal and human origin coupled with any combination of the above ingredients are injected into your body?

Most people do not have a clue. In fact, I challenge anyone reading this to find any credible published science explaining exactly how a human or animal responds to such an injection.

In my attempt to simplify the issue, I tell people that our bodies are perfectly designed to handle all manner of toxic substances through a built-in censoring mechanism. When we eat something that has spoiled or is toxic in someway, we either vomit the offending substance or get diarrhea. If the symptoms persist, it is a good idea to drink copious amounts of clean or purified water and take a long bath that has 3 cups of Epsom salts added to the bath water as a detoxification aid. But when we inject such a toxic cocktail directly into the body, this censoring mechanism is skewed to the point that the body can no longer differentiate between "self" (what is healthful to the body) and "non-self" (what is detrimental to the body), which leads to the body accepting and storing substances it would normally reject.

Many doctors have attributed the current epidemic of auto-immune diseases and cancers to the experimental injection of vaccines. An autoimmune disease is defined as any disease that is characterized by abnormal functioning of the immune system that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against your own tissues.

In an attempt to explain to people how the immune system functions as a result of repeated vaccinations, Dr. Philip Incao has described the immune system as follows:

It is composed of two functional branches or compartments that may work together in a mutually cooperative way or in a mutually antagonistic way depending on the health of the individual. One branch is the humoral immune system (or Th2 function), which primarily produces antibodies in the blood circulation as a sensing or recognizing function of the immune system to the presence of foreign antigens in the body. The other branch is the cellular or cell-mediated immune system (or Th1 function), which primarily destroys, digests and expels foreign antigens out of the body through the activity of its cells found in the thymus, tonsils, adenoids, spleen, lymph nodes and lymph system throughout the body. This process of destroying, digesting and discharging foreign antigens from the body is known as the acute inflammatory response and is often accompanied by the classic signs of inflammation: fever, pain, malaise and discharge of mucus, pus, skin rash or diarrhea.

These two functional branches of the immune system may be compared to the two functions in eating: tasting and recognizing the food on the one hand, and digesting the food and eliminating the food waste on the other hand. In the same way, the humoral or Th2 branch of the immune system "tastes" and recognizes and even remembers foreign antigens and the cellular or Th1 branch of the immune system digests and eliminates the foreign antigens from the body. But just as too much repeated tasting of food will ruin the appetite, so also too much repeated stimulation of the "tasting" humoral immune system by an antigen will inhibit and suppress the digesting and eliminating function of the cellular immune system. In other words, over stimulating antibody production can suppress the acute inflammatory response of the cellular immune system.

This explains the polar opposite relationship between acute discharging inflammations on the one hand and allergies and autoimmune inflammations on the other hand. The more a person has of one, the less he or she will have of the other. A growing number of scientists believe that the increase in America, Europe, Australia and Japan in allergic and autoimmune diseases (which stimulate the humoral or Th2 branch of the immune system) is caused by the lack of stimulation of the cellular or the Th1 branch of the immune system from the lack of acute inflammatory responses and discharges in childhood. We need to identify the factors which cause this shift in the function of the immune system or which cause allergies and autoimmune diseases in childhood to increase.

If we now return to the original question of the mechanism of action of vaccinations, we find what I believe is the key to the puzzle. A vaccination consists of introducing a disease agent or disease antigen into an individual’s body without causing the disease. If the disease agent provoked the whole immune system into action it would cause all the symptoms of the disease. The symptoms of a disease are primarily the symptoms (fever, pain, malaise, loss of function) of the acute inflammatory response to the disease.

So the trick of a vaccination is to stimulate the immune system just enough so that it makes antibodies and  "remembers" the disease antigen but not so much that it provokes an acute inflammatory response by the cellular immune system and makes us sick with the disease we’re trying to prevent. Thus a vaccination works by stimulating very much the antibody production (Th2) and by stimulating very little or not at all the digesting and discharging function of the cellular immune system (Th1). Vaccine antigens are designed to be unprovocative or "indigestible" for the cellular immune system (Th1) and highly stimulating for the antibody-mediated humoral immune system (Th2).

Perhaps it is not difficult to see then why the repeated use of vaccinations would tend to shift the functional balance of the immune system toward the antibody-producing side (Th2) and away from the acute inflammatory discharging side (the cell-mediated side or Th1). This has been confirmed by observation especially in the case of Gulf War Illness: MOST VACCINATIONS CAUSE a SHIFT in IMMUNE FUNCTION from the Th1 side (acute inflammatory discharging response) TO the Th2 side (CHRONIC AUTO-IMMUNE or ALLERGIC RESPONSE).

The outcome of this line of thought is that, contrary to previous belief; vaccinations do not strengthen or "boost" the whole immune system. Instead vaccinations over stimulate the "tasting and remembering" function of the antibody-mediated branch of the immune system (Th2), which simultaneously suppresses the cellular immune system (Th1) thus "preventing" the disease in question.

WHAT in reality IS PREVENTED IS NOT the DISEASE BUT the ABILITY of our CELLULAR IMMUNE SYSTEM to MANIFEST, to RESPOND to and to OVERCOME the DISEASE!

There is no system of the human being, from mind to muscles to immune system, which gets stronger through avoiding challenges, but only through overcoming challenges. (END QUOTE)

Dr. Russell Blaylock has added his insight into the debilitating effects of over vaccinating, claiming it causes:

• A highly stressed immune system unable to combat infections and cancer
• The accumulation of free radicals in the body, which can cause "bystander injuries" and immune system dysfunction
• Advanced aging and general debilitation
• The onset of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, which are now afflicting Americans at ever younger ages

Despite growing scientific evidence of the terrible health effects of over vaccination, pharmaceutical companies and other "big medicine" lobbyists continue to push for many more mandatory vaccinations for our children. This is why it is imperative that we stand up for our most important of all human rights – the right to own our own body. When we no longer can decide what we will eat, drink or INJECT into our bodies, we will have lost any semblance of the freedoms we once had in this country. With the latest Transportation Security Administration rules at airports, forbidding airline passengers to bring their own water/liquid refreshment on the airplane, the time is fast approaching for losing this most fundamental of freedoms – the ownership of our bodies.

Next month I will be continuing my essay/rant on vaccinations, focusing on current research into the various ingredients in vaccines to neurological impairment, asthma, severe food allergies, cancers and more.
