Abstract:

The common belief, strengthened by the medical establishment, holds that

vaccinationswereresponsibleforthedramaticdecreaseindevelopedcountriesofdeathsdue

toinfectiousdiseasessuchaspertussis,diphtheria,measles,scarletfever,polio,tuberculosis

andother.Asaresultofthisconviction,amajorityofinfantsarebeingvaccinatedwithever

increasingnumber ofvaccines,someofwhicharedeliveredincombinationsof3to8antigen

typesinasingleshot.Inseveralcountries,includingPoland,thenewbornsinthefirsthours

oflifereceivetwovaccinations–BCG(againsttuberculosis)andHepB(againsthepatitisB).

Duringthefirst18monthsoflifePolishchildrenreceive16obligatory(enforcedbylaw)

vaccinations against 10 diseases (tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus,

poliomyelitis,measles, mumps,rubellaandinfectionscausedbyHaemophilusinfluenzae).

Many children receive additional recommended immunizations against: Streptococcus

pneumoniae, Nisseria meningitidis, rotavirus, influenza virus, herpes virus varicellae and

hepatitisAvirus,totalinginafrighteningnumberof26vaccineinjectionsinthefirst2years

oflife.

However the national statistics of developed countries contradict the prevailing

vaccinationmyths.The“VitalStatisticsoftheUnitedStates”showthatdeathnumbersdueto

majorinfectiousdiseasesmarkedlydeclinedbeforetheintroductionofvaccinesagainstthese

diseases,duetoimprovedhygiene,nutritionandlivingstandardsofthepopulation.Also

severalepidemiologicalstudiesdocumentedthatmanyvaccineshavequestionableefficacyin

preventingdiseases.Forexample,forBCGvaccinetheefficacyinpreventingTBhasbeen

reportedbydifferentstudiestobebetween0%and80%.Inseveralepidemiologicalstudies

this vaccine failed or was shown to lead to a greater incidence of TB in the vaccinated

populations,thaninnonvaccinated.InPolandmassBCGvaccinationshavebeencompulsory

since1955andmorethan95%ofthepopulationhasbeenvaccinated.Inspiteofthis,Poland

hasa34timesgreaterincidenceofTB(about22per100000)thanmostWesternEuropean

countries or the US, where compulsory BCG vaccination have been abandoned. Similar

situationsappeartoexistinotherCentralandEasternEuropeancountries.Manyoutbreaksof

pertussis,measlesorpolioinhighlyvaccinatedpopulationshavebeenreportedindifferent

countries and studies revealed that certain vaccines, particularly DPT and polio vaccine

increaseinfants’mortalityandcanproducelifethreateningadverseeventsinchildrenand

adults. Moreover, the “Vital Statistics of the United States” show that influenza and

pneumoniamortalityratesintheUSmarkedlyincreasedaftertheintroductionoffluvaccines,

proportionallytothepercentvaccinationcoverageofthepopulation.

Simultaneously with the growing number of vaccinations, a dramatic increase of

neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, mental

retardation, epilepsy) and other chronic debilitating diseases (diabetes type I, asthma,

allergies)hasbeenobserved inchildrenaroundtheworld.Mountingepidemiologicaland

clinicaldata,aswellasexperimentalfindingshavedocumented,thatincreaseof incidenceof

thesediseasesmightbeiatrogenic,duetoexcessivevaccinationofchildren.Accordingtothe

EUVACdatabase,PolandandsomeotherEasternEuropeancountrieshaveoutdatedinfant

immunizationprograms,astheyrequire obligatoryimmunizationofallnewbornsinthefirst

hoursoflifewithBCGandHepBvaccines.InWesternEuropeancountriesonlyinfantsfrom

highriskgroupsreceivethesevaccinesandmostvaccinesaredelayeduntilthe2 nd 3 rd month

oflifeorlaterage.Overall,comparingtowesternEuropeancountries,Polishchildrenreceive

obligatoryvaccinesatearlierageandsomewithquestionablequality,whichmaybeharmful.

Vaccineschallengetheimmunesystemtoproduceantibodies,butmayalsocauseits

dysregulation and autoimmune diseases. They often contain toxic additives, such as

thimerosal(mercurycompound),aluminumsalts,formaldehyde,foreignproteinsandgenetic

materials, among others, which might poison vulnerable children and cause irreversible

developmentalinjuriesorseverelifelongdiseases.Indevelopedcountries,thepersonaland

societalcostsduetoiatrogenic,likelyvaccineinduced,diseasesappearnowtoexceedthe

costsanddangersoftreatableinfectiousdiseases.Theepidemiologicalnumbersspeakfor

themselves.TheincidenceofTBinPolandwas1in4500(2004)andhepatitisB1in

16000 (2001), whereas the current prevalence of diseases, which might be caused by

excessivevaccinationssuchasautismisapproximately:1in150(Europe,US),ADHD–1in

1020 (Europe, US), type 1 diabetes among children 1 in 220580 (US) and 1 in 48

(Finland),asthma1in15(US)and1in6(UK).Theincidenceofthesediseaseshasbeen

dramatically increasing over the past 2 decades, suggesting that we have new epidemics.

Moreover,thepsychologicalstudiesconductedintheUKbyprof.MichaelShayerrevealeda

markeddeclineofintellectualcapacitiesofschoolchildren,comparingtothosefromearlier

generation.Similararetheobservationsofteachersinothercountries.Itisverylikely,that

thisisapopulationeffectofexcessivevaccinations.Thesocietalcostsofsuchgenerational

decreaseofintelligencearenotmeasurable,butcouldbestaggering.

Thealarmingincreaseofneurodevelopmentaldisordersandchronicdiseases,which

appeartobedirectlyrelatedtoiatrogeniceffectsofvaccinations,demandurgentattentionof

thegovernmentsaswellasnationalandinternationalhealthorganizations,andreevaluationof

truebenefitsandcostsofcurrentvaccinationprograms.Itbecameevident,thatindeveloped

countries therisksnowfaroutweighthebenefits.Itis unacceptable,thatanyhealthychild

shoulddieorbecomepermanentlydebilitatedduetovaccinationsagainsttreatableinfectious

diseases.Manydevelopedcountriesreducedthenumberofinfantvaccinationsandmoved

themtolaterstagesofdevelopment,i.e.after23monthsofageforthemajorityofchildren,

exceptforthosefromhighriskgroups.Also,theroleofthepharmaceuticalindustry,which

ispushingformoreandmorevaccination,shouldbecriticallyexamined.Itisperhapsnot
