JANUARY 16, 2004. This is an alert to all readers, and especially to all independent vaccine researchers who have labored to show that, in various ways, health authorities have been lying to us about vaccines.
You will want to get this information out.
For years, I have been writing about vaccines. I have exposed lies all over the place. But I have to say I was stunned when I came across a report by F Edward Yazbak, MD, posted at the excellent site, www.redflagsweekly.com
The report is titled, THE SAGA OF PEDIATRIC HEPATITIS B VACCINATION. It focuses on what many of us have suspected or realized: health authorities in the US have mandated a vaccine for babies when there was no reason to do so. But the report goes a lot further than that. It shows that the CDC did a complete about face and contradicted its own pronouncements about the numbers of Hepatitis B cases in America in all groups.
The lying is so egregious and so obvious it makes you question your own sanity for a moment. ?Did I read it right? Did they say THIS and then did they say THAT? Did a disease go from being no problem at all to being a massive epidemic in the blink of an eye? Did they insert the big lie just as they launched a crash program to expand vastly the number of vaccinations??
Lying about case numbers of diseases is a familiar theme. I have covered it before. If you want to justify a new drug or vaccine, you can frighten people with all sorts of announcements about how terrible the threat is, about people dropping like flies from some disease. However, Dr. Yazbak has nailed it so well in his report you really will wonder whether your eyes just went haywire on you. The degree and detail involved in the lying is so over the top it?s staggering.
It?s as if a scholar discovered that the true manuscript of Hamlet, buried until now, was really about a sea captain in China who was looking for gold in South Africa.
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Yazbak?s report:
On March 27, 2001, Judy Converse, testifying before the Massachusetts House of Representatives Committee on Education, Arts and Humanities (1), stated the following:
ˇ Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is not a childhood disease.
ˇ No agency, the CDC included, lists children or infants among individuals at risk.
ˇ Hepatitis B. (Hep.B) is an adult lifestyle disease spread in the United States primarily by sexual contact and sharing of needles.
ˇ Adults age 20-40 are typically affected and over 90% recover with no permanent effects.
ˇ Even for adults, hepatitis B virus incidence is almost a non-issue in the US. Incidence is so low in fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated in 1997: "State level incidence rates of hepatitis B are deemed unreliable. This item is not amenable to survey data collection due to low incidence. National estimates of hepatitis B incidence are corrected for underreporting by using an algorithm that adjusts reported incidence upward by approximately 6-fold".
ˇ In 2000, there were only 19 cases of HBV infections reported for all age groups in Massachusetts or about 2-3 cases per million MA residents.
ˇ HBV infections have steadily declined (10% per year) since 1986, before universal pediatric
vaccination was introduced because of safe sex and needle precautions.
ˇ A large market had to be created for the new vaccine and the group of infants and children, not at risk of the disease, was targeted.
ˇ Administration of the Hepatitis B vaccine to a newborn who is not at risk to prevent an adult lifestyle disease makes as much sense as taking an aspirin on Monday to prevent a hangover on Friday.
Ms. Converse was right on every point.
Hepatitis B is a reportable disease. The incidence rate of Hepatitis B in the United States has always been very low, 0.1 to 0.5% compared to 5 to 20% in the Far East and Africa. In 1991, there were 18,003 cases of hepatitis b viral illness in the US with an estimated population of 248 million.
According to the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services,"The number of cases [in the U.S.] peaked in 1985 and has shown a continuous decline since that time"
In 1986, only 279 cases of HBV infections in children under 14 were reported nationwide.
"Hepatitis B continues to decline in most states, primarily because of a decrease in the number of cases among injecting drug users and, to a lesser extent, among both homosexuals and heterosexuals of both sexes," according to the CDC (1996). (2)
Interestingly, after the Hepatitis B vaccine was recommended for general pediatric use, the CDC released new statistics on the "estimated incidence" of hepatitis B in the US. Now some 1_ million Americans had chronic Hepatitis B, 5000 died annually from liver failure and many others developed carcinoma of the liver. The CDC also added that in the 80s, some 200,000 to 300,000 cases of Hepatitis B occurred annually.
A special committee of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) was convened recently to do "a comprehensive assessment of evidence pertaining to the theory that the hepatitis B vaccine caused what are known as demyelinating neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome." In a press release on May 30, 2002 the committee stated that Hepatitis B
vaccination did not cause or trigger neurological illnesses. The committee then took the risk of HBV infections in the unvaccinated to a new high: "In the United States, one out of 20 people will contract the hepatitis B virus through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. The younger people are when they become infected, the more likely they will develop the chronic form of the disease. For example, chronic infection is likely to occur in 90 percent of infected newborns and 6 percent of infected adults. They face serious health consequences and no cure. A quarter of those with chronic hepatitis B will die from cirrhosis or liver cancer, including children who will not reach young adulthood. These chronic carriers can infect others. Sometimes a person with the infection has no symptoms at all, and only a blood test can reveal it? Looking at people born in 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that about 6,800 perinatal infections and 18,700 infections of infants and children up to the age of 9 would have occurred without immunization. About 12,100 of these children would have developed the chronic form of the disease, and about 3,000 would have eventually died from cirrhosis or liver cancer."
Neither the IOM Committee nor the CDC can support such claims.
In May 1999, at a Congressional Hearing on "Hepatitis B Vaccine: Helping or Hurting the Public Health," Dr. Harold Margolis, Head of the Hepatitis Division of the CDC, was asked about the success of the pediatric Hepatitis B
vaccination program. He answered, under oath, that the program was successful and that the number of HBV infections in children under age two had declined from 266 in 1990 to 95 cases in 1997. Statistically those numbers and the difference between them are so small, relative to the total number of toddlers under two, that they are insignificant. Nevertheless Margolis? own figures are absolute proof that the above statistics from the IOM Committee are wrong.
