Dr. Blaylock: Vaccine Dangers to Pregnant Women and Small Children
By Dr. Russell Blaylock
As we enter the winter season, the nation’s attention is riveted on the first pandemic of this century caused by the H1N1 swine influenza virus. All authorities agree that this is one of the mildest flu virus seasons in recorded history, with fewer deaths and fewer hospitalizations than in the last two flu seasons. The media has inundated the public with stories of children dying and being hospitalized, yet the CDC states that fewer children have died this year than during the last two flu seasons.
Despite this favorable report, health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have specifically targeted the following people for the first round of the swine flu vaccine:
• Pregnant women
• Children aged six months to 18 years of age
Over the past ten years I have been studying the effects of immune stimulation on the developing child’s brain and have written and had published eight papers for peer-reviewed journals on this subject. I have also lectured on my findings before a number of medical groups. Based on these studies, I have significant reservations concerning the proposal to vaccinate pregnant women and small children with this vaccine, as well as seasonal flu vaccines.
Based on CDC recommendations. Children under the age of ten are to get two seasonal flu vaccines and two swine flu vaccines. They also recommend that children under age five years get the pneumococcal vaccine as well.
We are told by a breathless media that 36 pregnant women have died from this flu, which is a terrible tragedy in itself, but should not be the basis of a draconian vaccination program that might endanger more pregnant women and their babies than the H1N1 virus itself. It is ironic that when asked how many pregnant women died in previous flu seasons, the CDC officials scratched their heads and stated that they had not been keeping records.
To put a pregnant woman’s risk in perspective, according to health statistics, only one in 300,000 pregnant women are at risk of getting so sick they would need hospitalization, even for hydration. What this means to the pregnant women is that her risk of becoming seriously ill is an extremely small fraction of one percent. Stated differently, there is a 99.99 percent chance she will get through the flu season fine.
So, what are the risks associated with this vaccine? There is compelling research that shows that stimulating a pregnant animal during mid-term pregnancy dramatically increases the risk of the newborn having autistic or schizophrenic behavior as it ages or reaches adulthood. The risk is increased in the order of 14-fold, which is tremendous.
We know that women who get the flu during pregnancy have a similar increase risk of their child developing autism or schizophrenia. At first, you may assume that the flu virus entering the baby’s brain would cause the effect, but careful research found that the virus does not enter the baby’s brain. Rather, it is immune cytokines from the mother’s immune reaction to the virus that causes the problem. Unlike the flu virus, the offending cytokine passes through the placenta and damages the developing brain of the baby. In essence, they found that anything that stimulated the mother’s immune system could raise the risk of autism and schizophrenia in the baby. To show that it is not the virus they stimulated the pregnant animal’s immune system with special chemicals alone and got the same effect.
Another set of studies found that stimulating the mother’s immune system during pregnancy not only increased the baby’s risk of having a seizure, but increased seizure risk even when the child became an adult. So we see that activating immunity, as with vaccination, can significantly raise the risk of your child having a seizure, even extending into adulthood.
Its is also known that stimulating the mother’s immune system during pregnancy can trigger preclampsia in the mother and hypertension in the baby, when the baby becomes an adult. The bottom line is vaccinating a pregnant women is vary hazardous to the mother’s health as well as the baby.
At this point you may ask—but if a natural flu infection can cause this as well as vaccination, shouldn’t we protect pregnant women by vaccination? If the vaccine was effective you might make that conclusion, but there is no evidence the vaccine has any effectiveness. Pregnant women have a state of immune suppression and vaccines are notorious for not working in immune suppressed people.
Even more important is the fact that a woman’s risk of getting the flu and having the genetic risk factors for autism or schizophrenia is small overall, but if you vaccinate all pregnant women, as the CDC is calling for, you will have a large number of babies affected by autism, schizophrenia or seizures because they will all have had intense immune stimulation by the vaccine.
Humans have a long period of intense brain development that occurs after birth. The most intense period of brain development is during the first two years of life, but for critical areas of the brain used for higher brain function, this can extend to 27 years of age. Repetitive stimulation of the brain by giving a series of vaccines has been shown to significantly disrupt brain development, resulting in learning difficulties, behavioral problems and language problems. In fact, studies have shown that immune stimulation in small children can also result in schizophrenia in a significant proportion.
The CDC is now recommending two seasonal flu vaccines (which contain mercury) and two swine flu vaccines and for children below the age of five, a pneumococcal vaccine, all over a month’s time. Remember, these children will also be getting a series of 36 childhood vaccines before they start school. Most of these vaccines contain powerful immune stimulators called adjuvants as well as brain toxic aluminum and even mercury.
Pediatricians often give five to seven vaccines during a single office visit, which is a tremendous dose of immune adjuvants, enough to cause the brain to become chronically inflamed by a process called immunoexcitotoxicity. It is this process, from my studies, that is causing the autism and schizophrenia.
Now, let us look at just how effective these vaccines are. According to the results of the safety and efficacy study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, at age six months to 35 months (three years of age), there is no protection in 75 percent of the children. One of the largest studies of the effectiveness of the seasonal flu vaccine in children age two and under found that it gave no protection—it was no better than a placebo.
This means for the targeted children age six months to three years, we see no protection from the seasonal flu vaccine and only 25 percent from the swine flu vaccine. For children age three years to nine years, 64 percent had no protection from the swine flu vaccine. In essence, these children are getting very little protection from the vaccines, but are facing chronic diseases that can ruin their lives forever.
WebMD posted a comprehensive article by Dr. Michael Bronze, a professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Okalahoma Health Science Center, in which he states that there are animal studies showing that vaccination during pregnancy harms the fetus, but no studies have been done on humans to establish safety for pregnant women.
In fact, Merck Pharmaceutical Company, in conjunction with the CDC, conducted such as test in human pregnant women with the Gardasil vaccine. The result was a significant increase in miscarriages and babies born with malformations. So, here we go again—but this time, tens of thousands of pregnant women and their babies, will be at risk. But then the pharmaceutical companies and their friends in government fixed it so that you cannot sue them when the disaster happens.
Pregnant women should beware, as should mothers with small children. Good nutrition, taking your prenatal multivitamin/minerals and supplementing with 2000 IU of vitamin D3 will provide you with all the protection you need.
