Vaccine Research Paper by Dimitrios Drossos
“A special thanks to Dimitrios Drossos medical Student of Logan College, St. Louis, MO.”
Vaccines have long been touted as the savior of our children; however researchers, scientists, some doctors, and angry parents of vaccine-damaged children are telling a different story. It’s the great debate of modern time. If you haven’t heard about the links of vaccines to autism and other neurological conditions, then you must be living under a rock!
Dr. Leo Cannon, at Johns Hopkins University, reported the very first case of autism in 1943. By the 1970’s, autism rates in America went up to 1 out of every 20,000 children. In the 1980’s, the rates rose to 1 out of every 2500. In 1991, the pharmaceutical industry, along with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), stepped up the pace of mandating vaccination in every state. By the mid-1990’s, autism rates hit new highs of 1 out of every 250 children. Today, 1 out of every 150 children in our country will develop autism. One out of 8 children is considered “special ed” (special educations) or “LD” (learning disabled). The next data release is expected to show 1 in 5 (20%) being in special educations. The CDC recently reported that 4 million children, between the ages of 3 and 17, have been diagnosed with ADHD. In 1997, ADHD was reported in only 1.6 million kids.
America, we have a surging epidemic in this country, and yet the debate goes on. One side insists that the sudden statistical rise is due only to better diagnoses, while the other side points a finger directly at a specific culprit – vaccines. So what is the truth? Lets take a closer look at two problems with vaccines and learn why they may not be the miracle drugs they are claimed to be.
The first problem is obvious if you look at the components of vaccines: formaldehyde (used in embalming), thimerosal (50% mercury) , and aluminum phosphate (toxic and carcinogenic), antibiotics, phenols (corrosive to skin and very toxic), aluminum (neurotoxin), methanol (toxic), and isopropyl (toxic), 2-phenoxyethanol (toxic) live and killed viruses, and a host of unknown components considered off-limits as trade secrets. I could make my point by showing the effects that each one of these toxic elements has on your child, but I will simply focus for now on just one toxin-mercury, the second most toxic thing on planet Earth.
Congressman Dan Burton of Indiana, a long-time advocate of victims of autism, has a grandson who became autistic after receiving 9 vaccines in one day. Congressman Burton said, “There is no doubt in my mind that the mercury in vaccines is a major contributing factor in a growing number of neurological disorders among children, but, in particular, autism.
By 1991, when we saw the greatest surge in autism, the CDC added 3 hepatitis B shots (each containing 12.5 mcg of thimerosal) and 4 hepatitis B shots (each with 25 mcg of mercury). With those additions, the number of shots containing mercury went up to 11, and the amount of mercury went to 237.5 mcg. This amount ridiculously exceeds all federal limits. According to the EPA, the average child can tolerate .3 mcg of mercury at one time. After multiple inoculations, the amount received in one day is 129 times more than the EPA limit.
How did this occur? Believe it or not, nobody did the math. Neither the FDA nor the CDC, our nations “watchdogs” for public health, ever took notice until 1997, when Congress passed the FDA Modernization Act. Part of this act requires the FDA to investigate all drugs containing mercury and to determine their effects on humans. It only took about one year before the FDA called for the removal of all mercury from over the counter products; however, because of its ties with the drug industry, the FDA only urged the companies to remove it. Congressman Burton said, “one reason this isn’t getting the attention it needs is that the FDA and the Drug Administration have very close ties to pharmaceutical companies, as does the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control.”
Over 1500 FDA staff members are employed by the drug companies. Because of this, 50% of the vaccines still contain mercury. For example, the Rho-Gam shots received by an Rh-negative mom carrying an Rh-positive baby contain 100 mcg of mercury. I point this out because 50% of all autistic children have moms who received Rho-Gam shots during pregnancy. This 50% figure is absolutely stunning considering the fact that only 10% of all babies are Rh-negative.
If this doesn’t convince you, then consider a study done by Dr. Amy Holmes, MD. Mark Blaxill, an analyst with Safe Minds, a non-profit group; and professor Boyd Haley (University of Kentucky), a world leader in neurotoxicity and autism. The study, appearing in the august issue of The International Journal of Toxicology, compared mercury levels in the hair of autistic children and non-autistic infants and determined that some infants are far more susceptible to the toxic effects of mercury than others. The autistic children showed remarkably lower levels of mercury in their hair than did the normal children, thus indicating an inherent and probable genetic inability to detoxify mercury. Blaxille said, “These reduced hair levels suggest that less mercury was being eliminated by these babies because mercury must be in the blood to be taken up buy the hair, and it must be in the blood to be eliminated from the body. If it’s not in the hair, it’s not in the blood. And if it’s not in the blood to be eliminated, then it is retained and causes neurological damage to the infant.”
“Obviously, the susceptibility is more important than the dose. In my office, we see a pattern of susceptibility when we X-ray the cervical spine. In most autistic children, we find a similar abnormal alignment which disrupts the immune system and leaves the child at a greater risk for toxic damage. When we correct this problem, the child starts to integrate at a higher level, thereby profoundly affecting his ability to detoxify and heal,” Kevin Sheridan D.C., DIBCI. Further studies in susceptibility and genetics have also shown that some of these children have lower levels of glutathione, a substance which detoxifies things like heavy metals. With lower levels, a child or adult is vulnerable to toxicity. Whether this is due purely to genetics or because the body exhausts the levels while trying to clear itself is not known at this time.
Still other studies describe strong family histories of autoimmune disorders as another link to susceptibility. These studies also note that babies who died after multiple vaccinations were born prematurely, had difficult births, were underweight, or had histories of health problems.

Remember, mercury is not the only neurotoxin in these shots. Adding to those listed above, I must now mention the retroviruses, from the MMR shot, that are turning up in the bowels of autistic children. Dr. Andy Wakefield, at the Royal Free Hospital in London, has proven that the retroviruses in measles are causing leaky gut syndrome which results in Crohn’s Disease, which, in turn, leads to a host of neurological problems. His study has now been duplicated twp other times in the U.S.
Other viruses, such as the SV 40 which contaminated oral pelvic vaccines given to children until 1999, have been found in children and adults suffering from bone, brain, and lung cancers as well as from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the fall of 2004, the flu vaccine was given in combination with other vaccines for the first time. The CDC has recommended this without a single safety study. Despite the lack of scientific knowledge regarding how viral and bacterial-containing vaccines given in combination act on the Central Nervous System, drug companies continue to advertise for more and more multiple vaccinations, the carrot being less visits to your doctor. As the carrot is dangled and parents take the bait, I fear the outcome of this foolishness.
In addition to their toxic composition, the second problem with vaccinations is that that stimulate the wrong immune system. In my opinion, this is the greatest threat to our immune system that we have ever faced. You see, when a virus, parasites, or cancer cells threaten your body, they will activate an immune response called Th1 (call-mediated) response. This is your body’s first line of defense, which will then stimulate a Th2 response (humeral). The Th2 is an emergency response which produces antibodies that resolve inflammation so that healing can continue. The problem is that childhood vaccinations of flu shots stimulate the Th2 response, no the Th1, thus violating the natural sequences. This violation has serious consequences. First, when you stimulate a Th1 response, you produce a lifetime immunity; however, when you vaccinate, you need boosters every 3 to 5 years because the Th2 is stimulated first. In other words, you do not have a lifetime immunity.
Another danger in violating the Th2 response sequence is that it teaches your immune system to overreact with the wrong defenses, thus producing a high antibody count which then leads to temporary immunity. When the overreaction (the emergency responses) is repeated again and again, the immune system is now educated to respond in this way. This only confuses the body and drives the diseases internally deeper, thereby causing chronic diseases later in life. Top scientists have said that we are exchanging childhood diseases which actually strengthen our immune system, for diseases like cancer and autoimmune problems.
Today, 206,000 American under the age of 20 have type 1 diabetes, a well-known autoimmune disorder. The CDC reports that 1 out of 400 children and adolescents are now diabetic. In 1945 and 1969, only 1 out of 7,100 faced this disease. J. Barthelow Classen, M.D., a former researcher at the National Institute of Health (NIH) and founder ands CEO of Classen Immunotherapies, reported in the May 1996 New Zealand Medical Journal that juvenile diabetes increases 60% following a massive hepatitis B vaccination campaign (1988-1991) for New Zealand babies 6 weeks and older. Along with that, 1 out of 3 Americans has arthritis, and juvenile arthritis is likewise on the rise. Tragically, childhood cancer is also increasing, especially in highly vaccinated communities. We cannot even begin to follow the rise in asthma and allergies become of the great inconsistencies.
Despite these alarming and even-increasing red lights, the drug companies, the CDC, and the EPA just keep on going. And how do they justify this? Well, they have only one argument: to save the lives of the poor innocent children. They point to statistics from foreign countries showing that the incidence of childhood diseases increases after vaccine coverage has drops. For example, by 1975, Swedish pediatricians had lost confidence in the vaccine as the incidence of pertussis increased. Some cases occurred in immunized children, and some neurological events were blamed on the vaccine. DTP coverage decreased rapidly, from 90% in 1974 to 12% in 1979, the Swedish Medical Society abandoned whole-cell pertussis vaccine and decided to wait for a new, safer, and more effective vaccine. Between 1980 and 1983, annual incidence for children aged 0 to 4 years increased to 3,370 per 100,000 (Lancet, January 1988; 351; 356-361). This increase seems to justify the vaccine; however, looking more closely, we see that this is a normal occurrence following vaccine removal. You see, after constant stimulation of the wrong immune system: i.e., Th2 children have no natural immunity. This leads to a rise in diseases, at least for a short time, but after natural immunity builds up, the number of incidents goes down. The Lancet article goes on to say, in only one small line at the end, “In subsequent years, the incidence dropped to 100 per 100,000.” Other Lancet studies showed that, in countries like Hungary, after vaccination increased to 100% reported incidents fell from over 100 per 100,000 in the pre-vaccine era to less than 1 per 100,000.
Here’s the bottom line: Of course the incident will go down when you vaccinate because you temporarily increase the antibody titan; however, at what cost to your child? In the name Lancet review noted above, while making their argument for vaccination, they admit to the dangers in only one small paragraph. Twenty percent of the children who receive the DTP vaccine expenses sided effects. One percent of the infants then convulse soon after receiving it, and, in a “small” number of cases, 1 out of 150,000 (not so “small” to me), severe or irreversible brain damage may occur. They slide in this statistic as if it’s not big deal, while 1 out of 150,000 children with brain damage are no more than the amount of kids getting the diseases in the vaccination group. Then, we come back to the bottom line; if YOUR child is that 1 in 150,000, it’s no small thing at all.
Another thing they didn’t tell you is that normal children do no die of the diseases targeted by vaccinations. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. After kids contract a childhood disease, there immune system grow stronger and help them to deal with more complex viruses and diseases later in life. Yes, children can die from these diseases, but I’d rather take my chances with pertussis than risk irreversible brain damage in a child.
Doctors and drug companies do admit to vaccine side effects such as convulsion and irreversible brain damage, but what about the even higher numbers for autism, PPD, ADD, Aspergers, and sensory integration? Parents need to look at ALL of the numbers, see the bigger picture with their own eyes, and then decide if they really want to play Russian Roulette with their child’s life.
You know, we can look at all the case studies and numbers we like, but when you actually speak with a grieving parent of an autistic child, it puts everything into perspective. It’s always the same story: “My child was a normal, energetic kid, until one day, after being vaccinated, everything went wrong.”
I’ve heard this heartbreaking story so many times, and each time I do, it drives me deeper and deeper into my mission. Please take the time to ask questions and learn more about alternatives.
My closing argument in this great debate: Do you really believe that man can take a perfect newborn baby and, with a mixture of poisonous chemicals, improve upon God’s work? If you vaccinate, then that’s exactly what you believe. To me, that is a direct insult to our Creator, and I rest my case.
