I have read about those studies, and how promising they where. It's a shame the people tend to die like that, murdered.

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't in the flu shots.

Re: Vaccines Safe Or Not ?
A big thing now is people has to have shots now before seeing a baby, people are falling for it.
babies need exposed to germs, and other stuff to build an immunity, maybe not someone sick, or filth, but the average daily germs.

I believe that it is for profit too. Many believe the real reasons are to inject other things into our blood for ulterior motives.

I will never trust them, and I would never let my kid have those shots unless in immediate danger.
It's all about profits, and not about safety of the population, that's why we are the sickest nation on earth.

Are Vaccines Safe for Children? Global Survey Reveals the Truth
Vaccines are a “hot button” topic, and as a parent you may be asking yourself… are vaccines safe? After all, we want to do what’s best for the health and well-being of our children. At the same time, we’re also under enormous pressure to succumb to the vaccination schedule pushed on us by family doctors, public health, and schools. Let’s consider for a moment the testing procedure to determine the safety of vaccines…
Most in the medical community consider the gold standard of scientific inquiry to be the double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Such studies compare the effects of a given substance to that of a placebo under tight controls. We’re told that, without such research, it’s impossible to know for certain whether or not a given substance is truly safe or effective.
That’s why drug companies spend millions of dollars every year trying to prove the efficacy of pharmaceuticals using such methods. It’s also why many conventional doctors discredit alternative medicine modalities that don’t have double-blind studies to back them up.
Where’s the Research into Vaccine Safety?
In theory, these rigorous standards are supposed to weed out “pseudoscience” from “legitimate” science, and in some cases they do. But there’s also a much darker side to the story. This is particularly true in the area of vaccine research, and it is rarely discussed in the mainstream. Truth be told, there has never been a single study conducted using the gold standard that compares the health outcomes of vaccinated children to unvaccinated children. This is because depriving some children of vaccines, authorities claim, would amount to child abuse.
It’s the worst kind of circular reasoning. Untested vaccines can’t be tested using proper scientific standards because doing so would supposedly prevent some people from accessing the presumed benefits of the vaccines being tested. Yet this is where we’re currently at as a society, much to the detriment of our health and the health of our children.
The system failed to hold the vaccine industry accountable for this travesty. Increasingly more untested vaccines are being added to the childhood vaccine schedule all the time. All the while, rates of autism, obesity, and other chronic diseases continue to skyrocket. It’s a public health crisis that “We the People” must confront head-on. The worldwide Vaccinated and Non-Vaccinated Children’s Data (VanVCD) Survey is one way to do this.
no gold standard study answers question: are vaccines safe?
Preliminary Data Shows Vaccinations Aren’t as Safe as We’re All Being Told
Back in the fall, Dr. Rashid A. Buttar, FAAPM, FACAM, FAAIM, Medical Director of the Center for Advanced Medicine and Clinical Research in North Carolina, and his colleagues developed a simple 11-question survey. They are asking parents from around the world to complete this survey as part of a global data-collection effort. It’s the largest survey to date looking at the health and development outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children.
There’s no cost for taking the survey, and your information won’t be used for marketing or other commercial purposes. The one and only goal is to get to the bottom of the age-old question many of us in the natural health community have been asking for decades… are vaccines safe for children, and is there scientific data to prove it?
I’ve spoken to Dr. Buttar about this ongoing survey and the data that’s already been collected, and I can tell you that the results are sobering. What he’s seeing is that many of our concerns about vaccine safety are indeed valid. He also sees that government health agencies are doing an extremely poor job at informing and protecting the public.
If you’re new the vaccine safety debate, I hope that you’ll keep an open mind as you process the information I’m about to reveal. This is raw data collected from people just like you who simply filled out the survey in accordance with the questions asked. There’s no tricky wording, no manipulative agenda, just honest answers to honest questions… and as you’ll see, figures and percentages that speak for themselves!
Unvaccinated Children Excel Developmentally
When looking at the data for developmental milestones, for instance, it’s clear that unvaccinated children are generally higher achievers than vaccinated children. The latest figures show that the overall percentage of vaccinated children who perform better than others in their peer group is 31.1%. At the same time the overall percentage of unvaccinated children who perform better than their peers is 38.4%.
This gap widens somewhat in the average performers category. Here, 43.7% of vaccinated children performed at a similar level to that of their peers, compared with 56.1% among unvaccinated children. In other words, unvaccinated children are more likely than vaccinated children to keep up with their peers in all areas of normal childhood development.
But the real kicker is the percentages in the “behind their peer group” category. A simple filtering of the VanVCD data shows they are significantly higher in the vaccinated group. More than one-quarter (25.2%) of vaccinated children perform worse than their peers developmentally, compared to just 5.5% among unvaccinated children − a 19.7% variance!
Unvaccinated Children are Healthier
Similar disparities are present in the category of chronic illness, a major concern among vaccine skeptics. It turns out that vaccines aren’t exactly as safe as the medical system claims they are, according to the data. When answering whether or not their children had a chronic illness or neurological deficit, an astounding 92.4% of parents with unvaccinated children responded “no,” while only 7.6% responded “yes.”
In the vaccinated category, a shocking 43.1% of parents responded with “yes” to this same question − a sixfold increase compared to parents of unvaccinated children. In other words, vaccinated children are six times more likely than unvaccinated children to develop a chronic disease. In some cases it could be a neurological problem, and either could follow them the rest of their lives.
“Remember, to have ‘statistical significance,’ you have to have an ‘n’ of 32,” Dr. Buttar explained to me about the scientific legitimacy of these figures. “In other words, the sample size has to be at least 32 to be ‘statistically significant.’ The ‘n’ here is around 1,000 − and it’s increasing daily!”
vaccine-surveyHave Children? Take the VANVCD Survey and Contribute to Open-Source Science on Vaccines
These are just two examples of the types of data comparisons that can be extrapolated from the VanVCD database. There are many other parameters you can input into the system to learn more about how vaccines are affecting children. It’s an invaluable resource that I encourage you to take advantage of, as well as contribute to, for the betterment of vaccine science.
A few thousand people have already contributed to the VanVCD database thus far. Many more thousands are needed to help either challenge or reinforce the existing findings. Again, the purpose of this survey isn’t to push any specific agenda. The intention is to conduct honest inquiry into the safety and effectiveness of vaccines − research that, up until this point, has never been conducted.
Imagine how invaluable the VanVCD database will be once millions of parents have taken the simple 11-question survey. I strongly encourage you to check out the VanVCD website, take the survey. Don’t stop there − pass it on to all of your friends and family members for them to take. This survey needs to go viral, and you can help make it happen by spreading the word within your circles of influence.
The survey takes about two minutes to complete. This is a very small price to pay for the health of our children, our children’s children, and all future generations that face an ever-increasing onslaught of untested vaccines. We can’t let the medical industry continue to inject our children with substances that may potentially cause developmental delays and disease. We’ll never definitively know one way or another unless we compile the data and present the evidence.
This is what the VanVCD survey is all about, and why its success is critical now more than ever.
Many parents have their children immunized without knowing for sure how safe vaccines actually are for children.
Despite enormous pressure from pharmaceutical companies, the medical community, and schools and governments to vaccinate all children, there actually has never been a “gold standard” double-blind, placebo-controlled study into the health outcomes of vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children.
A new open-source database is looking to provide unbiased information on the health outcomes of vaccination.
Parents of both vaccinated and unvaccinated children are encouraged to take a 2-minute survey at http://www.VanVCD.org
This data will be invaluable evidence to decision-makers (including parents) about whether or not vaccinations are safe and necessary.

Re: Vaccines Safe Or Not ?
The blood brain barrier isn't completely formed before you are 7 years old, no child needs all those vaccines unless a dire danger is known to be around.
I think when I was a kid we got maybe 8-12, and now it's like 80 since big pharma bought our government.

Check out these videos. It seems that everything that Monsanto is involved with results in a lot of suffering and death.
Another Vaccine “Bombshell” Glyphosate – Think Monsanto’s Roundup – Confirmed in Most Vaccines
Research scientist Anthony Samsel has confirmed that glyphosate, a key active chemical in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup®, has been found in most vaccines! In this video, we hear Dr Samsel reciting his findings.

Vaccines are something we need around, but ones we do need, so many kids are being pumped full of this stuff for no reason other than profits.
One thing that would help more is stopping these third world people from coming in with all these sicknesses. Our ancestors where put in quarantine if we showed any sign of being sick.

Vaccines Safe Or Not ?
The evidence keeps piling up. This sounds quite serious "small amounts of this neurotoxin are enough to cause restricted brain development or other health problems for humans who eat them.” This damage is both severe and irreversible."
Vaccines “altering” human genes? Low levels of mercury exposure found to alter gene expression while causing extreme neurological disorders
Pregnant women, those who are trying to get pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and young children, are all routinely cautioned against consuming fish like king mackerel, bigeye tuna, marlin, orange roughy, shark, swordfish and tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico, which are known to contain high levels of mercury. Studies have found that even small amounts of this neurotoxin are enough to “cause restricted brain development or other health problems for humans who eat them.” This damage is both severe and irreversible.
While several studies have been conducted to examine the toxicity of mercury in fish higher up the food chain, a recent study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), published in the journal Scientific Reports, has more closely examined the effect of this heavy metal on the lower levels of the food chain, at the microalga level.
A UNIGE research team led by Professor Vera Slaveykova, vice-president of the School of Earth and environmental sciences at the university’s Faculty of Sciences, examined several samples of green Chlamydomonas reinhardtii microalga. These microalgae were selected because theirs are among the few genomes which have been fully sequenced at that level of the food chain. This information made it possible to compare how the gene expression of the microalgae changed when exposed to varying concentrations of mercury.
Science Daily explains the research team’s findings after analyzing the RNA molecules that control gene expression in these microalgae:
[M]ercury disrupted the metabolism of algae, with numerous genes being deregulated, regardless of whether the concentrations were comparable with those set by European environmental standards, lower or higher than those usually found in the environment.
An alga that seems healthy from a physiological point of view appears altered when its gene’s expression is examined.
Although scientists have confirmed that this alteration would affect multiple processes, including the photosynthesis of essential elements like zinc, copper and iron, the team could not outline all the possible changes this might cause.
Professor Slaveykova explained, “Of the 5,493 genes specifically dysregulated by methylmercury, we don’t yet know the function of 3,569 of them, even though this alga is the most widely studied of all the primary producers.”
Whatever those effects might be, they are magnified higher up in the food chain, and can have direct and detrimental effects on the central nervous systems of those who eat fish from the top of the chain. (Related: Don’t eat the fish! Freshwater bass in California and Arizona lakes accumulating dangerous mercury levels.)
Studies like these reinforce the potential dangers of mercury in the form of thimerosal in vaccines.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) insists that most vaccines do not contain thimerosal, they do admit that there are two types of flu vaccines – those that do contain thimerosal and those that don’t – and that it is up to you as the recipient to ensure you choose one that does not contain it. How many people out there know that they need to make that choice? (Related: For an accurate source of information see Vaccines.news)
The CDC also claims:
Thimerosal contains ethylmercury, which is cleared from the human body more quickly than methylmercury, and is therefore less likely to cause any harm.
Is that true?
Well, two of the CDC’s very own scientists recently published a study confirming the exact opposite of that statement. The meta-review was conducted by John F. Risher, Ph.D., and Pamela Tucker, M.D., of the CDC’s Division of Toxicology and Human Health Sciences, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and was published earlier this year in the journal Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology.
The study found that thimerosal is extremely toxic to humans, even at very low doses, and that it is actually more dangerous than methylmercury in some cases. It is, for example, more dangerous to cell mitochondria than methylmercury.
One of the significant findings of the review was that methylmercury (the kind found in toxic fish) and ethylmercury (the type used in thimerosal) carry very similar levels of toxicity for humans. Their chemical properties are alike, and they both cause serious disruption and damage to the development and functioning of the central nervous system.
It is patently obvious that mercury in all its forms is toxic to all living organisms from microalgae to humans. If it alters gene expression in microalgae, why would it not affect the DNA of humans? Are you still sure you want to take your child for that flu shot this year?
