Failure to Vaccinate Resulted in a Massive Outbreak of Diphtheria
There is no doubt that vaccinations will cause adverse reactions at a very low rate, several ten per million. A handful per million will die as a result of vaccination adverse reaction. Knowledge of the health of the individual at the time of vaccination does reduce the risk. Everyone is sorry that anyone dies or even gets sick because of vaccinations. The risk of disease from not vaccinating is higher than the risk of adverse reactions. There is a fragment out there who is obviously very vocal who is obstinately unteachable. Beware of them and their venomous spew.
ALL of the talk about mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde risks in vaccines is absolutely Nonsense and it should not be repeated. Adverse reactions are caused by the immune system of the individual not from toxic additives.
In the post collapse Soviet Union, they quit vaccinating for diphtheria, which is a horrid disease of children in which death occurs because of suffocation. The disease went away after vaccination was resumed.
The cause of the outbreak in which there were more than 150,000 cases of diphtheria and more than 4500 deaths in 1991-1995?
"The general public lost confidence in immunization due to
opinions of health care workers and to increasing and aggressive
antivaccination propaganda in the mass media."

Who wants to hear more from the anti-vaccination propagandists? Stay tuned... They and their Harpies are due in here at any moment now....

Very arrogant of you to say:
Very arrogant of you to say: There is a fragment out there who is obviously very vocal who is obstinately unteachable.
Hey enough is enough
Why don't you just tuck your tail between your legs and run along home? How many pro-vaccine threads are you going to start under your 2 poster names?
You're in bed with big pharma, you're a former (or current) vivisectionist, your agenda stinks, so nobody here is buying what you're selling. Give up already.
blakmira - your accusations are unfounded
I only have one name on here.
I have never worked for a pharmaceutical company
Some people do accept the truth that "vaccines are a blessing" as Dr. Paul has said.
I have tried to provide some research papers for you to read to help you understand that the Antivaccinationist Propaganda is wrong and actually dangerous to the society. It is also harmful to the freedom movement.
"vaccines are a blessing"
is a personal truth, not an absolute one, like "2 + 2 = 4." "Vaccines are a blessing" is an opinion, not a fact, and it's an opinion with which I don't agree.
no. Ruth, look at the data....
Ruth, there was an outbreak of dipththeria in the soviet union BECAUSE people quit vaccinating. The facts are clear. There is no wiggle room on this. Why do you continue to kick against the truth? Why?
Because
there's lots of wiggle room on this. I responded to your diphtheria links multiple times, yet you continue to ignore the fact there were factors other than a lack of vaccination that contributed to the outbreak, like impoverished condtions leading to lack of nutrition and sanitation, overcrowding and migration. One of your sources mentions the Soviet health care system had collapsed, which would strongly suggest people were not able to get treatment, such as antibiotics, when they contracted diphtheria. Your own sources say this! Why do you continue to kick against the truth? Why?
You never responded to this, either, it's a list of quotes from peer reviewed journals suggesting disease in vaccinated individuals is more common than generally thought: http://www.wvve.info/issu...
But every link, every source, every fact that supports a view other than yours, you just ignore and act like it doesn't exist, unless it bothers you enough to deny it and resort to insults and name calling.
I'm beginning to think you're being so stubborn because your own faith in your vaccine religion has been shaken a bit.
Oh really?
This thread is of a piece with the anti 9/11 Truth, anti AJ, etc. threads. I never would have believed I would see this pro-vaccine propaganda on the Daily Paul.
"Anti-vaccination propagandists" is an epithet. The point seems again to be to marginalize anti-vaccine views. "ALL of the talk about mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde risks in vaccines is absolutely Nonsense and it should not be repeated. " Oh really? Are you the gatekeeper now? And if I accept your pro-vaccine propaganda, what will be the consequences? Why now when the Usurper (Obama) is considering vaccinating everyone?
No. I will continue to think what I will. You will not define rationality for me. The DP is awash now with MD's, scientists, and professional propagandists. What happened to all the RP supporters who are decidedly not mainstream in their views?
How oh how did humanity ever survive before brain-destroying mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde-laden vaccines?
These threads are divisive and 180 degrees away from what I know of RP supporters, yet the posters continue to demonize anyone doesn't affirm the orthodoxies of the medical establishment.
Hey without the DHS guy....
We wouldn't have someone to obliterate for the spin doctor press, so we can basically cancel out and kill their argument when try to institute the mass vaccination program :-)
You know that Reginald and other DHS agents, are only giving us....fair warning. As armed as we all are, diseases are a different story.
I stocked up on perfectly good products a while ago and opted out of vaccinations since I don't get sick......Big deal I guess, since they can't force me to take it? They can't force anyone to....but they can co-erce them & make believe!
You take em then and I won't ....
Guess you'll be "safe" either way, right? Seriously starting to get suspicious of all this pro-vaccine crap right before they are about to make it mandatory.
Vaccinations on our minds due to swine flu.
It's a valid thread. I have not decided whether to be vaccinated for swine flu but I have been prepping for it.
I'm training myself to use bactericidal wipes as soon as I get into my van after stops at banks, stores, Post Office, etc. I wipe hands, face, door, steering wheel, etc and use them in the house as well. It's not that I live in fear of the present threat level, I fear my inability to alter my unconscious behavior quickly if the threat level suddenly worsens so I am conditioning myself now. I've laid in a good supply of face masks and nitrile gloves, even protective goggles, but I'm too vain to wear them till things get rather more lethal.
I'm also prepared for a month's isolation if it seems warranted, even converting my bedroom to a sick room in case I come down with this flu strain. It's good training for having to take care of myself when/if I move to the jungles of eastern Ecuador. I have an apartment fridge near my bed that's crammed with apple and cranberry juice (natural cytokine inhibitors) and am loaded up on OTC meds, vitamins, rubbing alcohol, water, canned foods, etc. that I should be able to access with minimal exertion if I am sick. I'll be able to make green tea (Another natural med) a cup at a time and use a hotplate on my dresser.
I relate these preparations to prove that I don't view the current pandemic as nothing more than a ruse by the global elites to get everyone to voluntarily receive injections of nano-RFID chips, fully virulent flu strains, or chemicals that will either sterilize of make us completely docile. To be honest, I don't know whether the "global elite" do or don't have any nefarious designs involving this flu and the vaccines for it. It could become a real killer pandemic, far beyond the norm of umpteen thousand deaths per flu season and toward that end I may decide the risk of not being vaccinated outweighs the risk of falling for and succumbing to a vile New World Order vaccination plot.

the antivaccination propagandists, scientists all ----
insist upon non-CDC sources for the Soviet Union diphtheria outbreak.
(next they will complain that the authors were all brainwashed university people and other educated folk, none of whom can be trusted.)
here are more references:
http://www.pubmedcentral....
http://www.pubmedcentral....
http://www.journals.uchic...
or go to pubmed
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.g...
and search for what ever you like...
You are.....a liar, sir. A liar.
And we can finally conclude this as you abandoned your discussion because it was propaganda.
on what basis do you call me a liar, sam?
i provided data on the Soviet Diphtheria outbreak.
Where is it that I lied to you?
You're not helping your case
Your first link lists overcrowding and poor hygiene as factors for diphtheria outbreak. Your second link is an editorial that includes this sentence: "Major contributing factors were economic hardship, overcrowding due to large urban migration, and failing health systems as a result of the dissolution of the Soviet Union." Those both suggest you're blowing the lack of vaccination factor out of proportion.
Your third link says almost nothing about diphtheria. It says pertussis cases declined in Sweden after that country lifted its ban on the pertussis vaccine. It says nothing about why Sweden banned the vaccine in the first place, which had to do with concerns about it's safety. It says nothing about whether or not the typical adverse reactions to pertussis vaccine, which include permanent neurological damage, encephalopathy, muscle spasms and convulsions and death (often from SIDS), increased once the vaccine was reintroduced.
Since VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) was established in 1991, 75% of the money awarded by that agency for vaccine damages has been for reactions to the DPT vaccine. When we vaccinate for pertussis, we may reduce the incidence of a serious childhood illness, but we pay the price by increasing the incidence of serious adverse vaccine reactions.
pertussis is another case where antivaccination hysterics
led to a serious health problem. The zero risk situation does not exist.
missing the point
If the government declares martial law on the whole country and then attempts to force vaccinations on everyone you can kiss your second amendment goodbye. Gun Confiscation is part of the whole game, quit whining about gun laws and 1st and 4th amendments, they're all gone when they declare martial law remember Katrina? This is all part of the plan and I suggest everyone wake up and think about what that will do to the freedom movement, done, game over, massive death, no guns, no revolution.
Good grief!!! Over the last
Good grief!!! Over the last couple of days I have seen 4 active threads here on the vaccination subject-it is an important subject, but there are other things as important, if not more important right now to address. Arguing about something like this will get us nowhere, we are each entitled to make our own choices on these issues, and our rights to choose must be preserved. Everyone should become informed and decide for themselves. Live and let live and lets focus on other issues p-l-e-a-s-e folks. Usually when I check DP, I can get updates of what is going on, and important issues, it seems like this site is becoming all about vaccines-each person has his/her own beliefs on the subject and that's how it should be. Lets respect each others choices and let it be. We are supposed to be working on freedom here, not ramming our own ideas down each others' throats.
what happened was that I finally had enough of the
Anti-Vaccination Propaganda and I decided Silence No More.
Take your big pharma literature and go cry in a corner,
you arent fooling anyone.
I think Department of Homeland Security is calling him back...
Calling Reginald back home to the base, time to go back and admit what a failure at life he's been!
News At 11: Vaccines save a city school bus! This must mean they were SAFE and okay for everybody....
But it's always entertaining when they come around, since their evidence is flimsy, and it's easy to disprove. :)
of course i dont work of DHS and dont care for them
stay with the facts.
the reason for persistence is that it is important and
the revolution movement is being characterized by the Antivaccination Propagandists, and those who oppose liberty will take the documentable error of the Antivaccinationists and use it to paint us all with the crazy brush.
The idea is personal freedom.
If you allow your government to do what they will with your body without your consent, then just tune off now.
It is also about free will... you do not have to respond to a topic that you feel is not important to your personal contribution to the movement. If enough people feel that way, the thread dies. If it does not, then people obviously think that it is worth discussing.
:)
The poster of this thread complains...
... that talk about this sort of topic is a distraction and unproductive.
Yet he keeps making threads about it. Go figure.
ok lets go after the fluoride spammers next
are you ready?
Regnad Kcin,

Nice that you are trying to pick apart this little claim without responding to my origional post. Would you care to take a crack at that before nitpicking who is the author of a report that is posted on a CDC website that you posted as a link to back up your claim?
I know that you're not going to go there.. instead you're going to go round and round on who is the author, what his religious beliefs were, who he dated, etc. Instead of attempting to address the huge gaping logical holes in the theory that you posted, that I rebutted.
Vaccinations are not good. You think they are. Evidence supports my claim. You speculate. We'll leave it at that.
you are looking at the wrong paper.
one is from cdc website, for sure. I guessed that you would discredit them so i gave more references not from cdc website....
The CDC is...
The last place to get information on Vaccines. I think he just likes attention.
Regnad, weren't you the one scolding people on your other thread
for talking about things like this?
In your reply to my comment on your "Anti-vaccination madness" thread, you said, "Let's turn our energies toward productive things, folks."
...as if to imply that talking about this stuff is not productive.
Yet, here I find you pumping out another thread about vaccinations...along with your pre-emptive insults for those who disagree with you.
Did you mean that people are not productive unless they agree with you?
You're right
Regnad Kcin won't quit until everyone agrees with him.
what makes you think i will quit then?
really?
So you think....
The CDC....and political leaders of the CDC tied to Russia et. all is basically "the" authoritative source showing your point??
Isn't that a bit like taking your own opinion, and supplanting it on the top of everyone else's that "Hey, milk is good for you" by holding up a report written by doctors who work for the dairy industry?
:-O
And to add insult to injury, every person who eats - is going to react to Milk and dairy products differently. All of them are going to take your report and rip it up.
O.K.
So you'll never quit. That doesn't negate the fact you believe people aren't entitled to their own opinions.
Nice...
You use the Center for Disease CONTROL (vs Prevention) as evidence for your claim. Why don't we ask actual doctors?
In October 2000, at the annual meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a resolution called for an end to all government-mandated vaccinations. Even more astounding—the resolution passed without a single dissenting vote. Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the AAPS said this: "Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren't necessary or that have limited benefits." The AAPS's resolution read that "mass vaccination is equivalent to human experimentation and subject to the Nuremberg Code, which requires voluntary informed consent..." By failing to inform us of the dangers, and taking away our power to choose otherwise, mandated vaccinations become a crime against humanity.
Of course, that would be counter-productive to your claim, so let's look at Diphtheria vaccinations overseas...
Diphtheria vaccination programs have been followed by unprecedented diphtheria epidemics among the vaccinated populations. In Germany during World War II, diphtheria vaccinations were made mandatory. The Germans experienced an immediate 17% increase in diphtheria cases and a 600% increase in mortality. At the end of the war, the vaccinations were stopped. There was an immediate and dramatic decline in the number of cases, despite widespread malnutrition and poor living conditions.
That doesn't seem to help you either. Shall we quote someone who actually knows what they are talking about?
Dr. Vera Schreibner, a world authority on immunizations and author of Vaccinations, had this to say: "Immunizations...not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and more deaths than any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention." Having assembled the world's largest collection of data on immunizations, Dr. Schreibner concludes: "One hundred years of orthodox research shows that vaccines represent a medical assault on the immune system." Research by Dr. Schreibner and others continues to unveil the alarming truth about vaccinations; here are some further examples: Pertussis vaccinations have been followed by cases of "provocation polio." This kind of polio is well known to follow almost any vaccination, but especially pertussis and polio vaccinations. Measles is another case in point. Measles constantly occurs in vaccinated populations. In fact, there is even a new and especially vicious form of measles called 'atypical measles.' It affects only vaccinated populations and is apparently the result of a deranged immunological response caused by the vaccine. New data reports sharp rises in diabetes among children vaccinated for meningitis. A recent article in Newsweek attributed the AIDS epidemic to oral polio vaccine given between 1957 and 1960. A growing number of researchers are now attributing the epidemics of childhood cancer, leukemia, asthma, autoimmune disease, cerebral palsy, infantile convulsions, and sudden infant death syndrome to vaccinations.
But 4,500 deaths in 5 years on a population base of 148 million put the death toll at a staggering (LOL) .00003%. In other words, more Russian children died during that time period choking to death on an apple peel than died of your supposed epidemic.
The nice part about all of this is, if we actually have the freedom to do what we will with our children and our own bodies, this will become a moot issue. The vaccination-heavy portion of the population will simply take themselves out of the gene pool.
He ran away!
Guess he got tired of getting his ass handed to him. ;-)
Nice...
Love the quotes.
Check Mate!
Well said....
Your own source
lists three factors other than lack of vaccination that contributed to the outbreak: a large population of susceptible adults, suboptimal socioeconomic conditions and high population movement. Diphtheria is extremely rare in America, and the living conditions here are superior to those in Russia during the outbreak. Vaccinations or not, a diphtheria outbreak in America is about as likely to happen as a swine flu epidemic.
Actually vaccinations here will prevent the outbreak.
It was the spreading of ANTIVACCINATION PROPAGANDA THAT WAS THE KEY FACTOR that led to the Russian outbreak...
***
The general public lost confidence in immunization due to
opinions of health care workers and to increasing and aggressive
antivaccination propaganda in the mass media. In addition,
large cohorts of children (up to 50%) were immunized with Td
vaccine (tetanus-diphtheria toxoids vaccine with a reduced
content of diphtheria compared with that in DTP) instead
of DTP vaccine, due to unjustified overestimation of vaccine
complications.
The diphtheria epidemic than began in Ukraine in 1992 has
also been attributed to a significant decrease in immunization
coverage in children. The experiences of two of Russia’s
neighbors, Poland and Finland, provide another example of
the importance of high immunization coverage among children.
In these two countries, very high levels (195%) of childhood
immunization against diphtheria have been maintained for a
long period. In Poland, despite a high influx of visitors from
infected areas (Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia) and visits of Polish
citizens to epidemic areas in the NIS, only 25 cases of
diphtheria, mostly in young adults, with no secondary transmission
were reported from 1992 to 1996 . In Finland,
there was no secondary transmission of infection despite documented
reports of disease importations.

Odd.....
Your sources sound like the same sort of thugs who built the Soviet Union. I always have to question their "motivations" you see, problem being that I am a free thinker.
This is great test work for anything Swine Flu. Most people will NOT vaccinate if they don't see the need to. That's the way it is.
