Hilary Koprowski used monkey and chimpanzee parts in his vaccines. One of the first places he began the forced vaccination was Leopoldville, the location of a major AIDS outbreak in the late 50's.

Sabin, the other main producer of the polio vaccine, analyzed Koprowski's "oral" vaccine and found that it was "unstable and contaminated by an unknown virus."

Incidentally, Sabin was also manufacturing a contaminated polio vaccine with a different lethal virus: SV40.

In response to Sabin's claims of contamination, Koprowski simply scoffed at him and said he was just trying to discredit his work (as he would do again and again to anyone making this accusation).

The Wikipedia page on the OPV AIDS hypothesis, in typical Wikipedia fashion, dismisses the hypothesis in the first paragraph, but then throughout the article lists several interest points and distinguished and established scientists who have taken this hypothesis very seriously.

Here's the logical fallacy that seems glaringly apparent to me: (from Koprowski's Wikipedia page)

"The OPV AIDS hypothesis has been widely rejected throughout the scientific community and is contradicted by modern research on the origin of the disease."

In other words, now that we now that AIDS actually originated in the early 1900's (and maybe even earlier), the "experts" use this to disprove the hypothesis that the Koprowski vaccine trials were the origin of AIDS.

But this misses the essential point of the issue: just because this event wasn't the origin of AIDS doesn't mean contamination didn't occur on a wide scale. The timing is too extraordinary.

Here's an excerpt from this book:

>From 1957 to 1960, after years of tinkering with monkey kidneys and polio germs, Dr. Hilary Koprowski tested his own experimental polio vaccine on 325,000 equatorial Africans, including 75,000 citizens of Leopoldville, Belgian Congo. 98% of the vaccine recipients were infants and toddlers. The youngest children received 15 times the adult dosage. Though Koprowski claimed he had the backing of the World Health Organization, WHO denied sanctioning the large-scale trials.

>In 1959, Dr. Albert Sabin reported in the British Medical Journal that Koprowski's polio vaccine used in the African trials contained an "unidentified" cell-killing virus. It was never identified. However, in 1986 the earliest known blood cample containing antibodies against HIV was traced back to 1959. The serum came from a patient visiting a clinic in Leopoldville.

>Koprowski's vaccine was not approved for human use, so it was discontinued in 1960 following the African trials. Thus, it was only administered to inhabitants of the Belgian Congo, Rwanda and Burundi--the precise area where high levels of HIV infection were identified by researched 30 years later. Furthermore, the AIDS virus is known to infect mucous cells, prevalent in the mouth. The African vaccines were squirted into people's mouths.

Cons of vaccinating [read the links contained within this article]:

“Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 [micro]g/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.”
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=201.323
>> And infants are receiving a lot more aluminum than this in their vaccines.

Nutrition was the biggest factor in the decline of disease mortality, not vaccines:

MMF has been found to be directly triggered by tetanus, Hep A, or Hep B vaccination.

Median time to symptoms onset is 11 months post-vaccination:

Wow, the vaccine industry has the shills out in force. Here's some knowledge;

It's easy. Do NOT ever vaccinate. Ever. They are created by scum bag companies who DO NOT GIVE A FUCK AB HUMANS.

Mandatory vaccines are unreal. This is Brave New World stuff.

Big Pharma has the net crawling with trolls and the inherently brainwashed.

It boggles my mind how all these people GET MAD and attack people who don't get vaccines from Corrupt Corporations which have literally committed dozens of crimes and been convicted of these crimes.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Don't trust big PHARMA GUYS! I wouldn't trust these companies to wash my car let alone INJECT an unknown highly toxic cocktail into my body.

I always find it amusing when this topic comes up how many people knee jerk reaction into blah blah blah autism. I am surprised Jenny McCarthy hasn't been mentioned yet.

In the end, our vaccine schedule is a little aggressive, and once you see the revolving door between pharma and and the vaccine board, you will see why our vaccine schedule has exploded.

As a result, I do not trust our vaccine schedule, but I don't feel that it is a reason to NOT vaccinate. Modifying and slowing down the vaccine schedule, checking for titers before boosting, and generally being educated about the process protects the population, and your child.

Good read for those that want a sane approach.

u/cloakedf · 4 pointsr/Anarcho_Capitalism

People treat those who question the effectiveness and safety of vaccines as lunatics just by pure lack of research. For a literature review I'd recommend anyone to read "Miller's review of critical vaccines studies: 400 important scientific papers summarized for parents and researchers" (https://www.amazon.com/Millers-Review-Critical-Vaccine-Studies/dp/188121740X).
What is even more disturbing is that a number of vaccines are enforced by the government on the back of big pharma's lobby, and in a purportedly ancap sub people just accept what the government claims by face value.
What the government enforces is either not good itself or is just pushing crony capitalism (which is also bad), otherwise people would just accept without the need of coercion.

u/LWRellim · 3 pointsr/Economics

A good place to start is to begin researching the AMA (and associated "health care" [sic] professions) as well as the various medical product companies -- especially from the perspective that the former are really "trade unions" designed to advance the agenda (including status and salary) of their own members over that of other people; while the latter are direct profit making enterprises (but also don't neglect that while non-profit organizations may be "not-for-DIRECT-profit" of the organization themselves, they most certainly can/are used as a vehicles for the "profit" of various individuals and companies that are associated with them).

I am not aware of a single (sole) source that I would consider to be objective or all-inclusive (even the various "history of medicine" books come from a limited perspective and ignore more than they cover).

You have to research it by reading across a lot of disciplines and topics. Alas, I do not have any specific book recommendations that would consider a good "primer" regarding the history (and around "modern medicine" in general, there are just so many, and a lot of them are out-of-print or hard to find -- though if pressed, I would tenuously suggest "What Doctors Don't Tell You" by Lynne McTaggart as a decent "starting" point because it begins with a bit of historical "perspective", and then follows that up with a lot of statistical-based-critiques of recent medical practices, and can serve as a launching point for your own further research).

My own has involved reading, over decades now (egads!), a rather vast array of books (and online materials) on a host of subjects, as well as reading encyclopedia entries (historical ones -- i.e. OLD books and encyclopedias -- are often quite enlightening, especially concerning things that were once widely known but which are no longer "politically correct" and as a result have dropped down the "memory hole" by subsequent edits and changing viewpoints & policies.)

Chief points to remember are that everyone has their own "perspectives" (biases and multiple underlying "assumptions") -- and just as a variety of conflicts and special interests and "mixed motives" are present in the current debate, so they also were present historically (although many of the "actors" and debate points were different).

In addition, people have a tendency to NOT be aware of the significant advances in our current mode of life versus what it was 50, 75, 100 years ago -- and that in taking for grantedmany "mundane" things which dramatically improved our overall health (whether abundant food, clean water, sewers, and central heating, not to mention "band-aids" etc) -- we often mis-attribute the roots of these many "innovations" and their affect on society (and the various special interests often distort their own history or involvement in past successes; and conversely ignore and/or whitewash their involvement in its failures and fiascoes).

IMO, one should take claims (especially those regarding stated motives and "noble goals" -- versus the unspoken ones) with heavy grains of salt, sifting through it all in an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff, and arriving at your own opinion (which will obviously be "colored" by your own era and situation).

History is never as "clean" as it is portrayed in books. Like the present, it was a lot "messier" than we want to think.

u/ssilBetulosbA · 3 pointsr/conspiracy

Yes, I've noticed that. It's scary and infuriating, but nowadays I just ignore this stuff. There is nothing you can do about it, if you try to enter the conversation you will be attacked by a myriad of brainwashed idiots.
It's also the idea that anyone that is doubting the safety of vaccines or doubting the incredible quantity of vaccinations children go through in a short period of time, as well as anyone speaking for the right of people's children to remain unvaccinated - is labelled an anti-vaxxer.

Personally I am not denying vaccines work, but there are many problems surrounding them, many of which have arisen because again, vaccines are a business, an enormous business for pharmaceutical companies. Many have been shown to be contaminated with heavy metals and many other substances, the enormous quantity of injections children are given is outrageous,....

Life isn't black or white - you don't have to be "anti-vaxx" to question vaccinations. Vaccinations do seemingly work, yet there is so much we can do to improve them, make them safer, inject children with only those necessary, as well as not injecting people/children with dozens of vaccines in one go. Not to mention that we should be seeking better ways in how to improve our immune systems and live healthy lives, so the majority of such illnesses would have no effect on us (sadly most people nowadays live very unhealthy lives, not to mention they are constantly bombarded by stressors from every area of life and exposed to the various toxins in our air, soil, water, food....which are a product of modern man's rejection of living in unity with nature and instead trying to dominate it, effectively destroying our planet).

This is for informational and speculative purposes only. This is not medical advice. Licensed health practitioners are available for this purpose.


Although the following tends to find fault with many vaccines and the vaccine industry, if you're going to read this, please review the copious amount data compiled by official sources of vaccine information, including the FDA, CDC, WHO, as well as the pharmaceutical companies themselves.

Only then will it become possible to have a serious, informed discussion about this unbelievably complex topic.

Too often are such conversations suppressed or dismissed because “the science is in” on the subject of vaccines.

This is an attempt to offer the decreasingly blasphemous view that the science is not, in fact, “in.”

This statement, and the following material, isn't meant to argue that the theory behind vaccination is flawed. Vaccines do work. This has been demonstrated again and again.

However...in humanity's desperation to overcome the terror of crippling pandemics, inexcusable and irreparable mistakes were made in the frantic rush to rid mankind of the devastating effects these diseases.

This isn't about autism. This isn't about global “population reduction” reduction programs.

This is about very real, and very frightening, mistakes that have made in the history of the development of vaccines.

This is about the obfuscation of the early history of vaccination...obfuscation which continues to this day, and which has the detrimental effect of stifling a serious debate on this vitally important subject.

Not only has the discussion on vaccine safety become completely polarized, but it also has devolved into a false dichotomy: you're either “pro”-vaccine or “anti”-vaccine. This has had the extremely unfortunate effect of severely limiting the conversation. Sadly, many important topics today have fallen victim to this false dichotomy.

Before continuing, I'd like to acknowledge a few books that opened my eyes to this controversial but fascinating field of research.

The first is The Virus and the Vaccine, a fascinating true story of the contamination of the polio vaccine with a cancer-causing monkey virus (full text available here).

The second is Dr. Mary's Monkey. Although I didn't use this book as a source, it's a thrilling story in its own right, and weaves together the JFK assassination, the contaminated polio vaccine scandal, and a secret project to develop a bio-weapon to kill Fidel Castro.

Lastly I owe much of this research to the indispensable Vaccine Safety Manual for Concerned Families and Health Practitioners.
The thousands of references provided have proved to be a veritable gold mine.

This is a work in progress. Please let me know if you find any typos, inaccuracies, or bad links.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution, So That's What They're For-breastfeeding basics, baby 411.
As a pediatrician, lactation consultant and mother, please avoid:
Babywise it has been condemned by the American Academy of Pediatrics and La Leche League for its bizarre recommendation that newborns be put on a feeding and sleeping schedule that is pretty much designed to lead to breastfeeding failure, attachment issues, and failure to thrive. The reviews on amazon tell quite a story--some of the 1 star are former 5 star submitters who realized that their baby wasn't "good" or "obedient" or "quiet", they were starving like little Romanian orphans and had given up making noise because they were just ignored. If I could put every copy in an incenerator I would.
The Vaccine Book, a wildly misleading tome full of misinformation and fearmongering. For accurate vaccine information, please read Dr. Paul Offit's Vaccines and your child. He is a vaccinologist, meaning that he has devoted his entire professional career to studying vaccines. Dr. "Bob" is a general pediatrician, like me, and has no additional training in immunology, virology, microbiology, or vaccines.

Panic Virus by Seth Mnookin. The author is a reporter and a parent, and it's a well-researched, open-minded book about the vaccine controversy. I say "open-minded", because he investigates and reports on both positive and negative, but he does draw conclusions, and ends up being generally pro-vaccine.

u/Icanweld · 1 pointr/news

Well, here are some government assurances about vaccines from the CDC.

>>A Polio-Free U.S. Thanks to Vaccine Efforts: Thanks to effective vaccine, the United States has been polio-free since 1979. But poliovirus is still a threat in some countries. Be part of the success story and get your child vaccinated on schedule. http://www.cdc.gov/features/poliofacts/

With a cute picture of a lady getting her baby vaccinated. Exactly like what we saw out of Flint. http://i.imgur.com/EV1tC9j.png

All of that was taken from the CDC's website, yet from a different page of their website...

Currently the only cause of Polio cases in American since 1979 was OPV, the Oral Polio Vaccine. The last cases of naturally occurring paralytic polio in the United States were in 1979. From 1980 through 1999, there were 154 cases of paralytic polio that were vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) caused by live oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). In 2009, an immunoncompromised adult developed vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) and died of polio-associated complications. Vaccine-derived poliovirus was isolated, and the infection likely occurred where her child received OPV 12 years prior. source: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/polio/dis-faqs.htm

So..which is it CDC? They're hiding their own numbers and flat lying to people and if those people don't just trust them then they're stupid? Not only have we not been polio free for 30 years, the cause of those cases of polio were the Vaccine! But they won't put that little fact next to the picture of the lady with her baby...

>There's a slight difference between distrusting just the local government, and distrusting the entire scientific community, though, isn't there?

Not really. The "entire scientific community" has lost just as much trust as the government. Scientists have proven again and again that their science is for sale and that they're as corruptible as anyone else. And there is plenty of fearmongering material, don't pretend that it's only "stupid people listening to Jenny McCarthy". Just look at all the best selling books about it

Science for Sale: How the US Government Uses Powerful Corporations and Leading Universities to Support Government Policies, Silence Top Scientists, Jeopardize Our Health, and Protect Corporate Profits

>The government hires scientists to support its policies; industry hires them to support its business; and universities hire them to bring in grants that are handed out to support government policies and industry practices. Organizations dealing with scientific integrity are designed only to weed out those who commit fraud behind the backs of the institutions where they work. The greatest threat of all is the purposeful corruption of the scientific enterprise by the institutions themselves. The science they create is often only an illusion, designed to deceive; and the scientists they destroy to protect that illusion are often our best.

Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy

>In the 1990s reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. This trend coincided with the addition of several new shots to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule, grouped together and given soon after birth or in the early months of infancy. Most of these shots contained a little-known preservative called thimerosal, which includes a quantity of the toxin mercury.

Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children

>Habakus, Holland, and Rosenberg edit and introduce a diverse array of interrelated topics concerning the explosive vaccine controversy, including the ethics of vaccination mandates, corrupting conflicts of interest in the national vaccine program, and personal narratives of parents, children, and soldiers who have suffered vaccine injury.

>Newly updated with additional chapters focusing on institutional scientific misconduct, mandates for healthcare workers, concerns about HPV vaccine development, and the story behind the Supreme Court’s recent vaccine decision, Vaccine Epidemic remains the essential handbook for the vaccination choice movement and required reading for all people contemplating vaccination for themselves and their children.

Hilary Koprowski used monkey and chimpanzee parts in his vaccines. One of the first places he began the forced vaccination was Leopoldville, the location of a major AIDS outbreak in the late 50's.

Sabin, the other main producer of the polio vaccine, analyzed Koprowski's "oral" vaccine and found that it was "unstable and contaminated by an unknown virus."

Incidentally, Sabin was also manufacturing a contaminated polio vaccine with a different lethal virus: SV40.

In response to Sabin's claims of contamination, Koprowski simply scoffed at him and said he was just trying to discredit his work (as he would do again and again to anyone making this accusation).

The Wikipedia page on the OPV AIDS hypothesis, in typical Wikipedia fashion, dismisses the hypothesis in the first paragraph, but then throughout the article lists several interest points and distinguished and established scientists who have taken this hypothesis very seriously.

Here's the logical fallacy that seems glaringly apparent to me: (from Koprowski's Wikipedia page)

"The OPV AIDS hypothesis has been widely rejected throughout the scientific community and is contradicted by modern research on the origin of the disease."

In other words, now that we now that AIDS actually originated in the early 1900's (and maybe even earlier), the "experts" use this to disprove the hypothesis that the Koprowski vaccine trials were the origin of AIDS.

But this misses the essential point of the issue: just because this event wasn't the origin of AIDS doesn't mean contamination didn't occur on a wide scale. The timing is too extraordinary.

Here's an excerpt from this book:

>From 1957 to 1960, after years of tinkering with monkey kidneys and polio germs, Dr. Hilary Koprowski tested his own experimental polio vaccine on 325,000 equatorial Africans, including 75,000 citizens of Leopoldville, Belgian Congo. 98% of the vaccine recipients were infants and toddlers. The youngest children received 15 times the adult dosage. Though Koprowski claimed he had the backing of the World Health Organization, WHO denied sanctioning the large-scale trials.

>In 1959, Dr. Albert Sabin reported in the British Medical Journal that Koprowski's polio vaccine used in the African trials contained an "unidentified" cell-killing virus. It was never identified. However, in 1986 the earliest known blood cample containing antibodies against HIV was traced back to 1959. The serum came from a patient visiting a clinic in Leopoldville.

>Koprowski's vaccine was not approved for human use, so it was discontinued in 1960 following the African trials. Thus, it was only administered to inhabitants of the Belgian Congo, Rwanda and Burundi--the precise area where high levels of HIV infection were identified by researched 30 years later. Furthermore, the AIDS virus is known to infect mucous cells, prevalent in the mouth. The African vaccines were squirted into people's mouths.

You are right, the anti-vax movement has been around for as long as there have been vaccines. Congratulations on surviving your childhood diseases, but your anecdote does not apply universally. Just because you survived doesn't mean that everyone will live through them, or escape unscathed. This especially applies to third world countries, where access to adequate medical care is a rarity. Here's an excellent WHO fact sheet on measles. Much more information is available online if you are interested in learning. I would also highly recommend reading The Panic Virus by Seth Mnookin for an entertaining explanation of vaccines and the diseases they prevent.

Due to naturopathic rather than medical treatment she

recovered quickly. It didn't develop into a deep

necrotising faciitis requiring surgery. But that was the

year my research into vaccines got very serious and

focused, starting with records from 1796. The

unvarnished truth, which is very different from the fairy

tales we've all been spoon fed since childhood and are

now being force-fed by big pharma and a lot of falsified

safety and efficacy studies. What I discovered was so

horrifying it almost defies comprehension. 200+ years

of lies, fraud, coverups —"revisionist history". The truth is

out there if you dig for it.

I like research too. That’s why I also have this book.

https://www.amazon.com/Millers-Review-Critical-Vaccine-Studies/dp/188121740X

Don’t get me wrong, some of those studies lack a lot and aren’t definitive at all. But raises really good questions. Recommend this to you as well.

All you have to do is google something like "dangers of vaccination" to find a number of medical professionals disagreeing with the popular opinion. However, here are some things that came up upon a brief search (I'm not harbouring a pile of documents to present to anyone who asks by any means... but I'm relaxed on the issue since I've seen good arguments on both sides):

How Independent Are Vaccine Defenders? (where the purse strings lead)

Here is a book detailing the raging controversy over vaccines, with all manner of medical and other experts, as well as people who have experienced negative side-effects, showing that it's not as clear-cut as some want to make it appear.

Here is a list of Dr. Palevsky's interviews on vaccines for you to choose from. I would link directly to his interview by Dr. Mercola, but many people would dismiss it right away because of Dr. Mercola's reputation and not the information that is being given; however, that is the interview that I watched, and I found what Dr. Palevsky said there very interesting and informative. I would recommend that one if you can bear to separate the interviewer from the interviewee, and if you're willing to watch through a long but detailed video. He discusses the fundamental issues with research that shows vaccines to be safe, the inner conflict that doctors (pediatricians) face when confronting the issue and the reason for the tendency to turn a blind eye to negative effects, and why vaccines cannot be deemed safe at this time due to key questions that have not yet been researched or answered. He speaks of his own experience with the question as a med student and practicing pediatrician, how he came to change his mind about it.

Just some places to go. Why would this be such a hot issue today, and so debated among parents, if there were absolutely no reason to question vaccines? No personal experiences, no supporting research, or absolutely conclusive research on the other side? Don't all parents want what's best for their child? To say that all those who oppose vaccination are simply stupid and ignorant is... well, kind of simple and unrealistic. Most people who are "stupid and ignorant" tend to have a near-absolute trust in the almighty medical system; they're getting those shots and they're happy to give them to their kids. (Please don't take this as an attack upon yourself, as I agree there are also parents becoming informed and asking questions that go on to choose vaccination out of their own opinion and not from blind trust in the system.)

Also, I must beg to differ: there is a clear difference between absolute fact and science's search for it. Upon that search, there have been many wrong turns, many dangerous decisions, and there are many, many purse-strings. It is not a search of total integrity, and its results are not always in accordance with what is true. It's not a perfect system because it's run by PEOPLE. The people searching are erring; the fact is absolute.

Read my friend's book. I did.

http://www.amazon.com/Panic-Virus-Behind-Vaccine-Autism-Controversy/dp/1439158657/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422044575&sr=8-1&keywords=seth+mnookin

It's literally over-researched. Too detailed. Overly documented.

But you will know everything about this controversy.

>they have 2.5 pages of references

Remember, there are literally hundreds of "peer-reviewed" "scientific" studies against vaccines or against global warming. The number of citations is not a good measurement of the quality of the research.

>It's 29 pages long

Also not a perfect indicator of good science

>it's very mathematical

Nope

That's not to say that paying attention to scientists (and especially the scientific consensus) is bad, only that it's healthy- and scientific- to put some skepticism into individual papers and reports. Scientific literacy is being able to read a scientific paper, or at least a summary in a science-minded news source, and be able to understand or guess the limitations of the research

All right. I have nothing to prove to you, but I will answer the best I can.

I don't believe you will be convinced, it took me a while to digest and put the facts together. I have seen hundreds of articles from both sides of the debate, seen dozens of documentaries, I know my mind is made up on who to trust and it sure as hell is not Big Pharma.


First off, let's state a few facts that should make anyone suspicisious:

  1. Big Pharma is immune from legal prosecution if vaccines cause harm.

  2. Fact #1 has obliged governments to setup "compensation courts", where victims are paid off after signing a non-dislosure agreement. Since the first National Vaccine Injury Compensation (VICP) claims were filed in 1989, 3,887 compensation awards have been made. More than $3.0 billion in compensation awards has been paid to petitioners and more than $120.4 million has been paid to cover attorneys' fees and other legal costs.

    To date, 9,860 claims have been dismissed. Of those, 4,912 claimants were paid more than $64.8 million to cover attorneys’ fees and other legal costs. source.

  3. In my own family, my little cousin was afflicted exactly like the child described in this awesome podcast. No link was proven with the vaccination, and this was in the 80's, people did not know back then but we had always wondered how a bubbly joyful 3 year old could fade away into autism over the course of a few months.

    Hey! We haven't even touched the "science" but yet with this bit of knowledge here are a few questions you can ask yourself:
