Vaccines and Neurological Disorders:
An Interesting Story Suggests It’s Not Just the Mercury
The evidence that many vaccines cause neurological disorders is now quite substantial. For many years, I’ve talked about mercury and some of the other contaminants that may cause the problems. However, an interesting story out of a meat packing plant may give us another reason vaccines cause problems.
Not too long ago, several people working at pork plants were stricken with a mysterious neurological disorder. They developed inflammation of their spinal cord. Symptoms were weakness, fatigue, and numbness and tingling in the arms and legs. Tests show damage to the nerve roots where they emerge from the spinal cord.
Cases began among workers who were using compressed air to blow the brains out of the skulls of slaughtered pigs. Only people working in plants using this method have had the sickness. Authorities have ruled out an infectious agent that you might get from eating the meat. They think it’s more likely to be triggered by an immune response to exposure of the nerve tissue to the workers. The foreign neurological tissue was aerosolized and inhaled. They didn’t eat it or properly digest it. That could trigger an immune attack on their nervous systems from inhaled intact nervous-tissue proteins.
While this is not problematic enough for me to warn you against eating pork, it merits attention. Vaccines are often grown on foreign animal tissue. When they harvest the infectious agent, it’s impossible to remove all the native animal proteins. When injected (not eaten and digested), intact foreign proteins could trigger an immune attack in a similar fashion. In fact, you’ve probably heard of Guillain Barre Syndrome. This is a paralytic condition that afflicted many people after the government-coerced swine flu vaccination program.
Animal proteins are not meant to be inhaled or injected into humans. Please take this as a lesson next time you or a loved one is leaned on for a vaccination. It’s no wonder that we are seeing immunological disasters in our youth and elderly populations from vaccines.
The Supreme Court gave vaccine manufacturers greater protection from lawsuits by parents who say vaccinations harmed their children, ruling that Congress had blocked those types of claims against drug makers.
In a 6-2 decision, the justices said Congress had effectively shut the courthouse door to these lawsuits in 1986, when it created a special vaccine court designed to compensate victims of vaccine injuries.
The decision immediately was hailed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which said it would safeguard the nation’s vaccine supply by protecting vaccine makers from potentially crippling legal liability–which could have driven manufacturers out of the vaccine market.
“Childhood vaccines are among the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last century,” said the organization’s president, Dr. O. Marion Burton. “Today’s Supreme Court decision protects children by strengthening our national immunization system and ensuring that vaccines will continue to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in this country.”
But it was a crushing defeat for the parents of Hannah Bruesewitz, who have waged a years-long legal battle after their daughter suffered a series of seizures when she got a routine DPT vaccination at her 6-month checkup.
The seizures caused Hannah severe brain damage. Today, 19 years later, her vocabulary is that of a toddler.
With Hannah facing a lifetime of constant care, the Bruesewitz’s first filed a claim for compensation in the special vaccine court, under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Congress, concerned that runaway jury verdicts would drive vaccine makers out of the market, created that program for families whose children suffer adverse reactions from vaccines.
When their claim was denied, they sued Wyeth, the vaccine manufacturer, arguing the DPT vaccination was defectively designed and that the company could have provided a safer vaccine.
But courts ruled against them, holding that vaccine compensation program was the sole way to handle those types of lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. And today, the Supreme Court agreed.
The vaccine protocol Hannah received injured 65 other children. In 1998, it was removed from the market.
But that was too late for Hannah.
“We should have been taking our daughter to college this fall,” her mother told CBS News last October. “If she would have been a normally, typically developing child, she’d be going to college.”
