    The important thing is that you know the truth now and you are doing what you can to bring it to light, Delight.
    That counts for a lot.
    Forgiving yourself is just as important, so please don't be too hard on yourself.
    Someone like you who is so open and truthful brings hope to those of us who know how many people in the the health field are still doing harm, even knowingly, for the sake of their paychecks.
    Remember to value yourself as you deserve because people like you can help bring around more of them, more easily than most anyone else because you know what courage it takes to actually begin "doing no harm".
    Here's some more hugs for you!

    Dr. Foresman talks about how medical training is about how to diagnose diseases, not prevent them.

    Doctors are taught patho-physiology, meaning how to diagnose disease – not on how to prevent disease. Our key courses are about how to diagnose disease, and assuming they are there, not how to prevent them.

    The little bit we know about prevention is “I wish we had a vaccine for
    everything.” "
    I cringe when I wonder if I was ever the last link in a chain of vaccine injury? I saw a tweet that made me chilled and emotional and that I can't forget.

    A mother tweeted about the last day her child ever spoke. It mentioned a nurse who gave an injection and gave her child a sticker. Her child said "Thank You." These were the last words ever spoken.

    I feel that maybe when I have a life review, I will need to feel the pain of all those who were hurt by me in my "good job". I think there is a SOLID reason that Physicians are told: "First, to do no harm" (and by extension their hand maidens). It will not be forgotten that we caused deliberate harm. Hell is paved with good intentions!

    Thanks. Though I have forgiven myself, It really hurts that I did have good intentions but was so mistaken. Now I want to speak up. Generally I am very happy to see more and more nurses wake up. It is sad to see people who feel they must go along with the system and have guilt.

    Pro-Vaccine NJ Senator Caught Denying Aborted Fetal Tissue is Used in Today’s Vaccines to try to Stop Religious Exemptions
    1/14/20
    https://vaccineimpact.com/2020/pro-v...us-exemptions/


    Health Impact News

    "New Jersey is one of the most recent states where lawmakers want to remove vaccine exemptions, specifically religious exemptions.
    Del Bigtree’s HighWire program has captured Senator Sweeney’s denial that today’s vaccines contain human DNA from aborted babies, and then presents the truth that contradicts Senator Sweeney’s denial.
    In fact, today’s vaccines use more aborted DNA than ever before."
    Quote The HighWire with Del Bigtree
    NJ SENATE PRESIDENT SWEENEY IS WRONG ABOUT ABORTED FETAL DNA IN VACCINES
    S2173 bill author, Senator Stephen Sweeney, argues the reason for religious exemptions was due to an old practice of using aborted fetal tissue in the production of vaccines. That claim is false, and here are top U.S. scientists and vaccine makers verifying the use of aborted fetal tissue in many vaccines on the current schedule.

    Vaccines Containing Animal, Plant, Fungal Proteins Cause Autoimmune Diseases and Cancer
    JANUARY 14, 2020
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...es-and-cancer/

    "By Vinu Arumugham



    Here is the conclusion of my recently published paper, Analyzing 23000+ Epitopes Covering 82 Autoimmune Diseases in the Immune Epitope Database; There’s an Unmistakable Signature of the Role of Vaccines in Their Etiologies:

    Vaccines containing animal, plant or fungal proteins are extremely dangerous and cause numerous autoimmune diseases and cancer. All non-target proteins in vaccines must be immediately removed using processes such affinity chromatography.

    Here is an explanation in layman’s terms:
    Proteins are a chain of amino acids. Proteins can have up to several hundred amino acids. Snippets of proteins (peptides), 7-15 amino acids in length are important in immunology. There are 20 types of amino acids. Each is assigned a letter (1 letter code).

    Antibodies are proteins that can bind to peptides that have a specific amino acid sequence. Such a target peptide is known as an epitope. When an antibody binds to a peptide (which is part of a protein, which in turn may be part of a cell surface), it can trigger an immune attack on the cell. If the cell were a bacterium, the bacterium would be killed.

    Humans (like all organisms) are made of numerous proteins (self-proteins). So, we have self-proteins, self-peptides and self-epitopes. In a healthy person, the body will not make antibodies that bind strongly to self-peptides (self-tolerance).

    DNA is a chain of base-pairs. The DNA base-pair sequence determines the amino acid sequence in the protein produced. If there is a mutation that alters a single base-pair, the resulting protein will have a single amino acid that is altered. To prevent cancer, the immune system is capable of making antibodies against such altered peptides. Such antibodies can also weakly bind (cross react) to the unaltered normal peptide thus resulting in destruction of some healthy cells.

    Say a normal protein has the following peptide (10 amino acids, each represented by its 1 letter code):

    ALSTLVVNKI

    Say DNA in a cell mutates due to a carcinogen exposure and it alters the protein thus resulting in this peptide with a single amino acid change:

    ALSTLVVSKI

    When the immune system makes antibodies targeted at ALSTLVVSKI (to attack the cell with the DNA mutation), the same antibodies can weakly bind to the normal ALSTLVVNKI peptide.

    ALSTLVVNKI is an epitope associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

    So, as a result of the immune system defending against cancer, the person can develop RA.

    Now consider vaccines containing animal proteins. Animal proteins are very similar to human proteins, containing only occasional amino acid differences. An animal peptide could therefore have the ALSTLVVSKI sequence. Such a vaccine would fool the immune system into creating an anti-cancer immune response, creating antibodies targeted at ALSTLVVSKI. The result is vaccine induced RA.

    Therefore, one can predict that analyzing epitopes associated with autoimmune diseases, such single amino acid difference compared to animal peptides present in vaccines, would occur more frequently than can be expected merely by chance. The analysis confirms that this prediction is valid.

    Abstract
    The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sponsors the Immune Epitope Data Base (IEDB). IEDB contains epitopes identified from the medical literature and organized by diseases and categories of diseases. All epitopes (23000+) associated with 82 autoimmune diseases in humans were analyzed.

    The role of animal, plant, fungal proteins contained in vaccines in the etiology of autoimmune diseases have been described in humans and animals. BLASTP (programs that search protein databases using a protein query) was used to analyze IEDB derived epitopes for sequence alignment to animal, plant, fungal (APF) proteins present in vaccines and biologics. Specifically, the search was performed against bovine, chicken, porcine, guinea pig, African green monkey, Chinese hamster, murine, peanut, soy, wheat, corn, sesame and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (commonly known as baker’s yeast) proteomes.

    The results show that 57% of epitopes differed by exactly one amino acid residue from an APF peptide. 78% of the epitopes differed by up to two amino acid residues from an APF peptide. The rest of the epitopes were either identical or differed by more than two amino acid residues.
    A majority of IEDB epitopes analyzed were 9-mer peptides. Comparing randomly selected 9-mer human peptides with APF proteomes, the probability of single amino acid residue difference (SAARD) outcomes was derived. This was used to estimate the probability that actual IEDB SAARD alignments to APF peptides were merely a chance outcome. The estimates show that the probability that the observed IEDB alignments to APF being merely a chance outcome are vanishingly small.

    So the results make it absolutely clear that APF proteins in vaccines cause all these autoimmune diseases."

    ONLY ONE PERCENT OF VACCINES REACTIONS REPORTED TO VAERS
    by TVR Staff
    Published January 9, 2020
    https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/...rted-to-vaers/

    STORY HIGHLIGHTS

    The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was created by Congress in 1986 as part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.
    Although health care providers are required by federal law to report specific vaccine reactions to VAERS, less than one percent of adverse events following vaccination are reported.
    Doctors, medical workers, adult patients and parents of minor children can report a vaccine reaction to VAERS.

    "The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was created by Congress under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and became operational in 1990 in response to growing public concern about the safety of vaccines, particularly the DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine.1

    VAERS is jointly operated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Since VAERS began collecting reports in 1990, as of Nov. 14, 2019 there have been 8,087 vaccine-related deaths reported and about 47 percent of those death reports were for children under the age of three.2 There have been 17,394 reports of permanent disability following vaccinations, with about 30 percent occurring in children under age 17, while about 40 percent are in adults between 17 and 65 years old.3
    Significant Under-Reporting to VAERS
    A 2011 report by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated that fewer than one percent of all vaccine adverse events are reported to the government:4

    Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs and vaccines that endanger public health. New surveillance methods for drug and vaccine adverse effects are needed.

    There have been 8,087 vaccine-related deaths reported to VAERS, but that number likely represents only one percent of the total number of deaths that have actually occurred and the real number may be 808,700 vaccine–related deaths. Similarly, 17,394 reports of permanent disabilities have been reported to VAERS, but that number likely is closer to 1,739,400 vaccine-related disabilities.

    Although the 1986 Act legally requires doctors and other medical workers who administer vaccines in the U.S. to report vaccine reactions, Congress did not include legal penalties in the law for those who refuse to comply with the reporting requirement.5 Therefore, VAERS is really a “passive” reporting system because there is no mechanism to compel compliance and hold vaccine administrators accountable for failing to report serious health problems, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths that occur after vaccination to the government.

    In addition, many vaccine reaction reports that are submitted to VAERS are incomplete, inaccurate or open to misinterpretation, especially those that are submitted by vaccine manufacturers. A 2009 study published in JAMA on “Postlicensure Safety Surveillance for Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Recombinant Vaccine,” found that VAERS has data analysis limitations that include “underreporting, inconsistency in the quality and completeness of reported data, stimulated reporting due to extensive news coverage and reporting biases.” Researchers stated:

    A further limitation of VAERS reports after qHPV [quadrivalent HPV vaccine] is that a large proportion (68%) come from the manufacturer and most of these reports (89%) do not include sufficient identifying information to allow medical review of the individual cases. For example, when additional clinical information was available for review, approximately one-half of the cases of GBS and transverse myelitis were not confirmed.6

    Obstacles to Vaccine Reaction Reporting to VAERS
    Several factors have been cited as potential barriers to accurate reporting of vaccine reactions to the government:

    Doctors, nurses and other vaccine providers are not aware it is a legal requirement to report health problems that occur after vaccination to VAERS;
    Vaccine providers either are unsure about what types of clinical symptoms need to be reported or dismiss serious health problems that follow vaccination as unrelated to the vaccine(s) recently given;
    The VAERS “Table of Reportable Events” is specific to each vaccine and requires vaccine providers to take the time to become familiar with the vaccine product insert to report “events described in manufacturer’s package insert as contraindications to additional doses of vaccine;”7
    Also, there may be confusion about how to report a possible reaction, or an objection to spending the perceived time and effort it takes to report an event to VAERS.8 Reporting requirements also vary with the type of vaccine reaction, as well as by vaccine, and adverse events that occur after receipt of newer vaccines are more commonly reported than those that occur with vaccines that have been used for many years. One study reported,“68 percent of cases of vaccine-associated polio are reported to VAERS, but only four percent of MMR-associated thrombocytopenia are reported.”9

    A proposed solution to underreporting of vaccine reactions has been to include a “proactive, spontaneous, automated adverse event reporting imbedded within EHRs [Electronic Health Records] and other computerized medical records and vaccine tracking systems.10

    Anyone Can File A VAERS Report
    If a doctor or medical worker, who has administered a vaccine, either does not recognize a vaccine reaction or refuses to make a report to VAERS, an adult patient or parent of a minor child who has developed a serious health problem after vaccination can make a report.

    According to VAERS, the information needed to fill out the report includes:11

    Patient information (age, date of birth, sex)
    Vaccine information (brand name, dosage)
    Date, time, and location administered
    Date and time when adverse event(s) started
    Symptoms and outcome of the adverse event(s)
    Medical tests and laboratory results (if applicable)
    Physician’s contact information (if applicable)"

    From Jeremy Hammond's email update today
    1/15/20


    "I know a lot of my readers have already seen this, but in case you haven't, you must watch this episode of Del Bigtree's The Highwire.


    Quote The HighWire with Del Bigtree
    WHO IS LYING TO YOU?
    Highlights from “The HighWire”; Jeffery Jaxen reports from #OccupyTrenton in New Jersey; Top World Health Officials' Shocking Admissions About Vaccine Safety.
    He shows how experts at the December 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) Global Vaccine Safety Summit acknowledge facts we "anti-vaxxers" (i.e., public policy critics) have been saying all along.[/QUOTE]

    For example, they acknowledge that postmarketing surveillance systems are largely inadequate for detecting harms from vaccination, that they don't understand how aluminum adjuvants work, and that the "problem" with policy critics' social media posts is that much of what they're saying is not misinformation as we're being told to believe.

    The first part of the episode covers the protests in New Jersey against the legislature's proposed assault on the right to informed consent. The discussion of the WHO summit begins at about 35 minutes in.

    When I was watching this, my jaw was on the floor. I repeatedly shouted out loud for joy, too, and totally agree with Del's assessment that this is a huge indication that we are winning. We still have a long way to go, and the threats against our health and liberty are still currently escalating, but the stunning admissions Del documents from global health "experts" demonstrate that they cannot continue to go on ignoring the countless legitimate concerns being expressed by we policy critics.

    The house of cards that is public vaccine policy is beginning to crumble. You just have to see this for yourself to believe it:

    If you'd like to watch the full sessions, they are available on the WHO website.

    Click here to view the WHO's Global Vaccine Safety Summit page: https://www.who.int/news-room/events...+Is+Collapsing

    I suspect those videos will not be publicly available there for long. I have archived my own copies of the pages and the videos (using the Video Download Helper plugin for Firefox; another useful plugin is Easy YouTube Video Downloader Express).
    In Solidarity,

    Look WHO’s Talking! Vaccine Scientists Confirm Major Safety
    Problems
    1/16/20
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...fety-problems/

    (More hyperlinks in the article than I have copied and pasted here)

    "Rarely does the general public get to hear what vaccine scientists and public health officials really think about vaccines. Instead, the simplistic (and propagandistic) mantra aired ad infinitum for public consumption is that vaccines are “safe and effective”—full stop. As the transcripts from the secret Simpsonwood meeting revealed two decades ago, however, when the experts are among themselves, they tell a different story—
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/g...ood-documents/
    ...and, as a new behind-closed-doors video powerfully reveals, they are still far from convinced of their own safety message.

    The bombshell video footage, published by Del Bigtree’s The Highwire, captures a series of statements—profoundly unsettling in their matter-of-factness—made by professionals who, in early December, attended the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) two-day Global Vaccine Safety Summit. https://www.who.int/news-room/events...-safety-summit
    The summit’s aims were to “take stock of [the] accomplishments” of WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) and work toward finalizing the agency’s Global Vaccine Safety Blueprint 2.0 strategy 2021-2030. Attendees included GACVS members (past and present), vaccine program managers, regulatory authorities, drug safety staff, “and representatives of UN agencies, academic institutions, umbrella organizations of pharmaceutical companies, technical partners, industry representatives and funding agencies.”

    What did this crème de la crème of the vaccine establishment say during their two-day powwow? Among other discussion points, attendees admitted that:

    Vaccines can be fatal.
    The design of safety studies makes it difficult to spot problems.
    Safety monitoring is inadequate.
    Vaccine adjuvants increase risk.
    Every single one of these revelations—startling mostly because of who was caught on camera saying it— referred to problems that Children’s Health Defense and other vaccine-risk-aware organizations and individuals have been reporting on for years.

    Quote We’re not able to give clear-cut answers when people ask questions about the deaths that have occurred due to a particular vaccine …
    Fatal vaccines
    Not quite a year ago, Indian pediatrician Dr. Soumya Swaminathan stepped into the newly created and prominent position of WHO Chief Scientist, moving up from a stint as WHO Deputy Director-General of Programs. At the December vaccine summit, she admitted:

    Quote We’re not able to give clear-cut answers when people ask questions about the deaths that have occurred due to a particular vaccine, and this always gets blown up in the media.
    Dr. Swaminathan acknowledged that the vaccine community ought to be prepared to provide “a very factual account of what exactly has happened and what the cause of the deaths are”; astoundingly, however, she conceded that “in most cases there is some obfuscation”—with the result that “there’s less and less trust . . . in the system.” Indian physicians have furnished examples of just such “obfuscation,” showing, for example, how a national committee attributed 96% of deaths in Indian infants who had just received pentavalent vaccines as either coincidental or unclassifiable. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/w...-sleight-hand/

    What earned Dr. Swaminathan a place at the WHO vaccine table, when she is primarily known for her research and programmatic work on tuberculosis? It turns out that she has been an enthusiastic cheerleader for expanding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in India. In early 2018, the Indian government decided against including the HPV vaccine in India’s Universal Immunization Program, swayed by feedback from India’s medical community (which is “split over the vaccine’s use”)
    https://thelogicalindian.com/awarene...ancer-vaccines
    ...and by the concerns of the influential Hindu organization RSS, which argued that adding the HPV vaccine would “divert scarce resources from more worthwhile health initiatives diverting it to this vaccine of doubtful utility and that its adverse effects will erode confidence in the national immunization programme.” Ignoring these concerns as well as HPV vaccines’ disastrous global track record http://ijme.in/articles/lessons-lear...e/?galley=html
    ...Swaminathan—speaking on behalf of WHO—promptly urged India to reconsider. In late 2019, she joined other authors in a Lancet Oncology article that made light of “a few deaths” in HPV vaccine demonstration projects in two Indian states while praising the “successful introduction” and safety of HPV vaccination in two other states.

    Quote … agreed that vaccine pre-licensure clinical trials may not be powered enough (meaning they are too small to detect statistically significant effects) and that the generally inadequate follow-up of trial participants complicates safety evaluation.
    Flawed safety studies
    Several WHO summit speakers described the lack of “good science” and the inability of vaccine clinical trials to provide meaningful information about safety and risk. Describing the “tyranny of small numbers” and the “relatively small sample sizes” typical of vaccine clinical trials, for example, Dr. David Kaslow characterized these features as “a real conundrum” but offered no suggestions for solving it. This, despite being Director of the Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access at PATH (a Seattle-based global health organization), holding over a dozen vaccine-related patents and having a quarter-century of experience in vaccine research and development at PATH, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck and the National Institutes of Health.

    Dr. Marion Gruber, Director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Office of Vaccines Research and Review, with “over 20 years of experience in the regulatory review and approval of . . . vaccines and related biologics,” unblushingly agreed that vaccine pre-licensure clinical trials “may not be powered enough” (meaning they are too small to detect statistically significant effects) and that the generally inadequate follow-up of trial participants “complicates safety evaluation.” Presumably, Gruber could spearhead the design of more useful pre-licensure studies in her capacity as the senior official responsible for research “pertaining to the development, manufacturing and testing of vaccines”—but, like Kaslow, she apparently had no solutions to propose. The FDA’s squalid history of approving vaccines tested without placebos and often with only a few days of follow-up—and its encouragement of off-license use of vaccines in pregnant women—cast doubts on Gruber’s sincerity in raising these issues.

    Inadequate safety monitoring
    Dr. Robert Chen is a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and currently directs the Task Force for Global Health’s Brighton Collaboration. Chen’s webpage credits him with decades-long efforts to “create the vaccine safety infrastructure needed to meet the ‘post-modern’ challenges of mature immunization programs where adverse events are more prominent than the nearly eliminated” vaccine-preventable diseases—yet at the WHO summit, he declared that safety monitoring databases remain incapable of “teasing out” vital information such as details about manufacturers and lot numbers. Dr. Swaminathan chimed in that “we really don’t have very good safety monitoring systems in many countries.”

    Quote …the first lesson is, while you’re making your vaccine, if you can avoid using an adjuvant, please do so.
    Risky adjuvants
    WHO summit attendees had numerous comments about vaccine adjuvants—none of them reassuring. For example, the Coordinator of the WHO’s Initiative for Vaccine Research (Dr. Martin Howell Friede) remarked, “We do not add adjuvants to vaccines because we want to do so” but because vaccines will not “work” without them. Friede, who held “several senior management positions in the vaccine industry” prior to moving to WHO, added:

    Quote I give courses every year on “How do you develop vaccines?” “How do you make vaccines?” And the first lesson is, while you’re making your vaccine, if you can avoid using an adjuvant, please do so. Lesson two is, if you’re going to use an adjuvant, use one that has a history of safety. And lesson three is, if you’re not going to do that, think very carefully.
    Friede also noted that the “primary concern” with vaccine adjuvants is systemic adverse events: “The major health concern which we are seeing are accusations of long term . . . effects.” Friede then passed the baton back to regulators such as the FDA’s Gruber, who characterized “safety and effectiveness evaluation of adjuvants combined with vaccine antigens” as “complicated.”

    Quote Nor have the domestic or international vaccine communities ever been forthright about the lack of research on key elements of the entire [childhood vaccine] schedule—the number, frequency, timing, order, and age at administration of vaccines.
    Vote of no confidence—for good reason
    One of the few attendees to articulate vaccine safety issues from the child’s standpoint was Dr. Bassey Okposen, a Program Manager for Nigeria’s vaccine program. Okposen had celebrated Nigeria’s “high immunisation coverage” in 2018, but at the 2019 WHO meeting, he ventured to ask whether vaccines containing “different antigens from different companies” and “different adjuvants and different preservatives and so on” could be “cross-reacting amongst themselves”—wondering aloud whether “the possibility of cross-reactions” had ever been studied. In fact, toxicologists are keenly aware that individual toxins have synergistic effects when combined, but vaccine researchers seem uninterested. Nor have the domestic or international vaccine communities ever been forthright about the lack of research on “key elements of the entire [childhood vaccine] schedule—the number, frequency, timing, order, and age at administration of vaccines.”

    The WHO may wish to draw attention to and scapegoat those who exhibit “vaccine hesitancy,” but the global cadre of vaccine experts has only itself to blame. As Professor Heidi Larson stated to her peers at the WHO summit, the crisis of confidence is now extending to “a very wobbly health professional front line that is [also] starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines.” Larson directs a slick program designed to restore vaccine confidence, but she was the first to acknowledge that “You can’t repurpose the same old science to make it sound better if you don’t have the science that’s relevant to the new problem.” We might add that the “same old science” never was terribly good to begin with.

    [Note: The WHO appears to have removed its web page listing “vaccine hesitancy” as a top global health threat for 2019. Up until January 14, 2020, the list of global health threats was available at https://anmj.org.au/whos-top-10-thre...ealth-in-2019/

    I wonder who filmed and recorded the proceedings and how it could have escaped the attention of the attendees, if they really didn't know! They must be fit to be tied now for admitting so much.

    Lyme vaccine: another medical scam?
    by Dr. Serge
    updated on January 16, 2020
    http://www.drsergegregoire.com/conve...-medical-scam/



    "There are more than 270 vaccines in the pipeline of big pharma. It seems that vaccination is the answer to every single issue we have!

    For example, they are developing a vaccine to help people quit smoking!

    This is just getting crazy and weird!

    You may have heard that they have been working on a vaccine for Lyme.

    I wonder sometimes if those doctors really spend time to think about what they are working on…

    This vaccine will never work; it is totally BOGUS science!

    First of all, this vaccine does not address that Lyme isn’t one unique pathogen Borrelia, but multiple buddy pathogens. Ignores babesia, Bartonella, mycoplasma, EBV, parasites, CMV, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, etc. which are coinfected with Borrelia from a tick – same tick carries most of them per field studies and per clinical cases (most are coinfected).

    The vaccine premise totally ignores the huge problem of inevitable coinfections. It doesn’t address babesia, which almost always comes with borrelia and makes it harder to get rid of Lyme, nor Bartonella or other coinfections. Lyme is not one bug. Each coinfection on its own is a huge problem and can disable and eventually kill or kill by causing “complications.” If you can nail borrelia really early, it’s best (but medical schools aren’t teaching correct screening and diagnosis because they are beholden for most of their operating funds to industry R&D, so industry shapes their curriculum). And because the IDSA Lyme panel, who came out of early biowarfare studies and are paid by industry now, had purposely OMITTED key western blot bands for officially accepted public testing and they purposely set the least accurate test (ELISA titer for antibodies, which is only like 40-60% accurate and it’s for antibody traces which Lyme suppresses output of); this would benefit the industry in the long run but not the public.

    Second, the “new” vaccine is a remake of the original vaccine premise, which failed (caused latent problems and Lyme increased with it).

    Third, you can’t vaccinate against Lyme because local borrelia always has a hundred or more variants (most respond to same antibiotics though), so does babesia and Bartonella and the mycoplasmas, etc. that tend to come along with it. (Tick guts are a sewer).

    Fourth, the vaccine is based on maybe two outer membranes (OSPA, OSPB, or whatever they chose) of only one or two variants of borrelia only. The premise is that it will trigger immune detection and defense. But nope. Borrelia has many local variant strains in most locations. And borrelia has MULTIPLE variants of its outer cell coat – like 5 or more; it just moves building blocks around depending upon host conditions, to evade immune detection. Yep, this bacterium is smart. It has multiple tricks in its sleeve to avoid the immune system. That is why those Lyme literate doctors can’t cure a Lyme patient with antibiotics.

    Fifth, borrelia has flagella INSIDE a double membrane, so flagella-detecting biochemistry tests won’t detect it. This makes it harder to treat it using conventional medicine. Again, that is another reason why MDs can’t cure Lyme patients.

    Sixth, Borrelia is a “keyhole” sort of pathogen because it weakens the immune system to other pathogens (that it travels with) by:

    suppressing B immune cells
    lowering thyroid or otherwise altering the endocrine system
    causing inflammation at a systemic level because THE CELL COAT IS COMPRISED OF FUNGAL ANTIGENS WHICH ARE THEMSELVES INFLAMMATORY, which is why you should AVOID the vaccine. It will stimulate inflammatory processes in many people which can trigger other latent problems (which are profitable to the industry but not you)
    and systemic inflammation raises cortisol which impedes serotonin/sleep
    Borrelia targets the antibody production that detects Borrelia and stops them from making the antibody (like shooting out the towers in a tower defense game). Again, making it difficult to get rid of it.
    Borrelia changes its outer cell coat proteins composition to hide from immune detection
    Borrelia sheds its cell coat completely and morphs into a little ball for living inside host cells
    A vaccine needs to NOT stimulate latent things with being inherently inflammatory at the systemic cell levels, and it needs to address the common factors among borrelia AND babesia AND Bartonella AND mycoplasma AND all other co-infections.

    It’s such a tall order since they are all different but come together in tick bites, that it would be better to look for some common factor instead.

    It is now well-established that Borrelia organisms (and even the co-infections Babesia and Bartonella) are unlike many other kinds of microorganisms in that they are highly advanced in their lifecycle activities, survival capabilities, and ability to respond to environmental threats. Each year, approximately 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported to the CDC.

    Lyme patients have a wide range of symptoms that are, unfortunately, not specific to Lyme, which makes it difficult to diagnose. Fever, dizziness, muscle and joint pain, and headaches are only a few of the possible things one could experience if they contract Lyme disease, according to the CDC.

    In addition, a lot of patients with Lyme are being misdiagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, autism, dementia, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, auto-immune disease, insomnia, seizure, mental disorders, thyroid issues, etc.

    Lyme can be transmitted by ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, fleas, dogs, cats, intercourse, and some evidence, enough it is not conclusive, dust mites.

    Lyme disease is very complex because this bacterium hides into the tissues and organs. It lives in the gut. As a matter of fact, some scientists believe it is actually a parasite, not a bacterium, which explains why antibiotics don’t help. As you can see, there is still a lot we do not know about Lyme. Researchers are confused about it.

    Lyme hides in the gall bladder, liver, biofilms, it hides in nematodes, parasites, worms.

    We know that these community members are larger than Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia, and we know that they play an important role in the Lyme complex. They are likely worms, or worm-like organisms, or even a number of different species of worm-like organisms. As it turns out, these larger worms or parasites have some surprising properties.

    First, they can live outside the gut and throughout the rest of the body. Historically, worms and worm-like parasites were believed to be mostly confined to the gut. These new worms or parasites can take up residence with Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella, take shelter within biofilm communities and become important partners in the survival of the infections.

    It now appears that many Lyme sufferers are infected with these newly acknowledged parasites, just like many Lyme sufferers carry co-infections. Furthermore, because of the symbiotic relationship between parasites and Lyme-related infections, without addressing parasites, overall progress in healing may be halted. Therefore, the topic of treating parasitic infections is hugely important. Ignoring it could cause your entire healing process to come to a halt.

    Other than the co-infections, there is what I call the “opportunistic infections.” The combined effect of the initial infection is an immune suppressive effect, and then the patient becomes vulnerable to all sorts of other things.

    The most common thing people contract early on in the course of the illness is different forms of parasites, such as protozoa; Babesia itself being one of them.

    There is Giardia, amoebas, Trichomonas, malaria, and different forms of infections that aren’t labeled yet. There is a new one called FL1953. Stephen Frye discovered it. It’s a protozoan organism that’s causing severe fatigue and illness in chronically ill people. It’s almost always present in a patient with Lyme disease.

    And then we find a lot of worms in people. They may be microscopic, and they may be macroscopic. That means they may be visible in the stool, or they may not be visible.”

    They are three major factors we need to uncover to start the healing process: a) identify the organ (s) that have been affected by this micro-organism, b) identify and address the co-infectious micro-organisms, c) identify the nutritional deficiencies that are caused by this disease

    Accumulation of mercury and other metals suppresses the immune system, which makes the body prone to a Lyme infection. That explains why some people develop full-blown Lyme as opposed to others who can get rid of it quickly.

    Clinically, parasites are the major cause of virtually every major illness. Regarding Lyme disease, they are the primary co-infection of Lyme that underlies the severity of the disease.

    We know that more than 70% of the immune system is located in the gut. As the primary mechanism of defense, the immune system fights hard the presence of parasites anywhere along the GI tract. As a consequence, the immune system shuts itself down over time and cannot fight pathogens anymore.

    Parasitic infections are often missed by Lyme-literate doctors who mostly focus more on the common tick-borne infections than other causes of symptoms. And if they identify parasites in a Lyme patient, they do not have the necessary tools to properly handle this situation to get rid of them once and for all.

    Parasites can cause a diverse array of symptoms, including gastrointestinal problems, malabsorption, vertigo, skin rashes, fatigue, memory loss, brain fog, depression, allergies, pain, among others.

    In other words, parasites can mimic symptoms of Lyme disease. Often time doctors are misled to believe that Lyme is the main problem, but in fact parasites are the actual underlying factor that contributes to the progression of the disease.

    In the majority of cases, if not all, parasites can make the patients sicker than the Lyme infection by itself. It is therefore important to get rid of parasites and avoid contamination.

    There is no doubt that Lyme is a complex and multi-faceted disease. Several factors have to be taken into account in order to come up with the proper treatment. The most important factor that we absolutely need to consider is the way of transmission and the co-infectious pathogens.

    Some researchers have discovered that DNA from worms can be found in a bacterial biofilm community. This means that worms/parasites may be involved, to some degree, in the proliferation and survival of much smaller bacteria, such as Lyme bacteria.

    In fact, it may be impossible to adequately treat Lyme disease without addressing this worm infestation. Thus, as you can see, parasitic treatment is the key when it comes to Lyme disease.

    Anti-worm therapies help and are critical to destabilize the entire Lyme disease colonies located in deep tissue throughout the body. Indeed, we see that the use of anti-parasite herbs, for example, degrades the biofilm surrounding the Lyme bacteria colonies, which lead to the reversal of the Lyme symptoms.

    Finally, it is believed that around 40% of American ticks transmit “nematodes,” which are parasites. Dr. Willi Burgdorferi, who discovered the Borrelia, found 30 types of microscopic worms in an adult tick, which might lead to conclude that if people are indeed infected with various types of parasites the treatment with just antibiotics is not going to clean the infection and may actually make things worse.

    This certainly is the answer to why ill people relapse and cannot get completely cured. Those cases cataloged as “Chronic Lyme Disease” could be just cases of people who have parasitic infections not properly treated.

    There is no specific test for Lyme. The average patient sees 5 doctors over a period of 2 years before being properly diagnosed.

    One of the reasons is that 50% of the patients do not recall any rash, which doctors think is the first evidence of being infected with Lyme bacteria.

    The other reason is that the common ELISA test that you receive at your doctor’s office misses about 35-50% of the time, the detection of Lyme.

    Conventional medicine is lost when it comes to treating Lyme disease.

    Currently, the big thing in the world of Lyme disease is all those doctors put their patients on disulfiram. It can treat problem drinking by creating an unpleasant reaction to alcohol. It’s used in recovery programs that include medical supervision and counseling. And they realized that it could help with Lyme.

    Side effects can be debilitating like nauseas, vomiting, dizziness, mental/mood disorders, muscle weakness, trouble breathing, liver issues, etc.

    So far, I have seen several cases of liver issues and neuropathy with people taking this medication for treating Lyme.

    I do not understand how doctors believe that by using harsh medication like this one, it will fix the problem. Actually, it causes more!

    As you can see, a vaccine against Lyme is plain ridiculous and gives false hope to the Lyme sufferers.

    However, if you have Lyme or believe you have symptoms similar to Lyme, there is hope that you can be helped.

    The key is to determine the extent of the situation by assessing the damage done to the body, by identifying the co-infections, viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, biofilms, heavy metals, etc. Once this is done, you have a much clearer picture of what is going on and what you need to do to tackle this infection.

    After I don’t know how many rounds of antibiotics, I cured my Lyme using functional medicine. That is the only way to get rid of Lyme. Because functional medicine looks and considers the totality of the body, how the different parts work together.

    That is why there is more doctors moving to do functional medicine.

    God bless y’all 😊

    Connecticut Lawmakers set hearing on proposal to repeal state’s religious vaccine exemption
    by JENNA CARLESSO
    JANUARY 14, 2020
    https://ctmirror.org/2020/01/14/lawm...ine-exemption/

    "Lawmakers are wasting no time seeking public input on a proposal to erase Connecticut’s religious exemption from mandatory vaccinations
    They have scheduled a public hearing on the plan for Feb. 19 – just two weeks into the legislative session. A draft of the bill is expected to be released next week.

    The hearing will likely begin during the morning to allow hundreds of people the chance to speak. While legislators have not locked in a time, they said it probably would start around 10 a.m. in the state’s Legislative Office Building. A large crowd is expected.

    “The desire of leadership is to move this through quickly and not get off on tangents,” said Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, D-Westport, a co-chairman of the Public Health Committee.

    Steinberg said that while an early draft of the bill will be released prior to the start of the session on Feb. 5, revisions could be made after the hearing to incorporate feedback.

    Last month, a bipartisan working group of legislators debated whether to “grandfather in” children whose parents had claimed the religious exemption – meaning that if the kids were already enrolled in school, they could stay. Only new children entering the state’s public and private schools would be barred from choosing the religious exemption.

    But on Tuesday, lawmakers appeared to be backing away from that idea.

    “Since we started this debate last year, a bunch of states have passed laws on this issue. There’s a tendency to give people some time – but a limited amount of time – to comply with the new law,” House Majority Leader Matthew Ritter, D-Hartford, said. “We’re wrestling with that. I think there should be some amount of time, but I don’t know that it should be a very elongated period.”

    Gov. Ned Lamont and State Health Commissioner Renee Coleman-Mitchell have recommended the religious exemption be eliminated effective Oct. 21, 2021, to give parents time to prepare for the change. Vaccinations are required for all students entering public and private schools, but home-schoolers are not covered.

    The proposed legislation would not force children to be immunized, but it would bar some unvaccinated kids from enrolling in Connecticut’s schools. Coleman-Mitchell and other state officials have cited concern for children with compromised immune systems who cannot receive shots for medical reasons.

    State and legislative leaders have pointed to the national measles outbreak last year and to data that show dozens of Connecticut schools have fallen below the threshold needed to maintain herd immunity as reasons to erase the religious exemption.

    “It still remains the goal of legislative leaders, the governor and the chairs of the Public Health Committee to protect children who are not able to get vaccinated by eliminating or curtailing the use of non-medical exemptions,” Ritter said Tuesday.

    Members of the CT Freedom Alliance, a group opposed to repealing the provision, said they planned to attend the hearing in February.

    Brian Festa, a co-founder of the organization, pointed to the recent collapse of an effort in New Jersey to wipe out that state’s religious exemption as an example where activists prevailed. After weeks of boisterous protests by vaccine skeptics, along with a last-minute attempt to amend the bill to win support, the New Jersey proposal fell apart in the state Senate Monday.

    “We see this as a civil rights issue, as a freedom issue,” Festa said. “It’s something that we’re going to continue to oppose.”

    Connecticut has a short session this year. Lawmakers have only three months to move bills through the General Assembly."

    (A little glimpse of behind the scenes political wheeling and dealing in New Jersey, all the more disgusting because it's the fate of children and our human rights at stake. )
    How more broken can the System get?
    Hopefully this will go viral and Sweeney and his chum will get what's coming to them.

    Schiff Sued for Censoring Vaccine Debate
    U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff Sued by Physicians Group for Censoring Vaccine Debate
    January 16, 2020

    "Press Release
    Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

    On Jan 15, 2020, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, along with Katarina Verrelli, on behalf of herself and others who seek access to vaccine information, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs allege that Defendant Adam Schiff has abused government power and infringed on their free-speech rights.

    “Who appointed Congressman Adam Schiff as Censor-in-Chief?” asks AAPS General Counsel. “No one did, and he should not be misusing his position to censor speech on the internet.”

    In February and March 2019, Rep. Schiff contacted Google, Facebook, and Amazon, to encourage them to de-platform or discredit what Schiff asserted to be inaccurate information on vaccines. He then posted the letters and press release on the House.gov website.

    Within 24 hours of Schiff’s letter to Amazon dated Mar 1, 2019, Amazon removed the popular videos Vaxxed and Shoot ’Em Up: the Truth About Vaccines from its platform for streaming videos, depriving members of the public of convenient access.

    Under a policy announced in May 2019, Twitter includes a pro-government disclaimer placed above search results for an AAPS article on vaccine mandates: “Know the Facts. To make sure you get the best information on vaccination, resources are available from the US Department of Health and Human Services.” The implication of this disclaimer is that if information is not on a government website, then it is somehow less credible.

    On Facebook, a search for an AAPS article on vaccines, which previously would lead directly to the AAPS article, now produces search results containing links to the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Visits to the AAPS website have declined significantly since March 2019, both in absolute terms and relative to the decline that would result from a story’s losing its recency.

    “The internet is supposed to provide free access to information to people of different opinions,” stated AAPS Executive Director, Jane Orient, M.D.

    Dr. Orient continues, “AAPS is not ‘anti-vaccine,’ but rather supports informed consent, based on an understanding of the full range of medical, legal, and economic considerations relevant to vaccination and any other medical intervention, which inevitably involves risks as well as benefits.”

    AAPS argues in the complaint against Rep. Schiff: “The First Amendment protects the rights of free speech and association. Included within the right of free speech is a right to receive information from willing speakers. Under the First Amendment, Americans have the right to hear all sides of every issue and to make their own judgments about those issues without government interference or limitations. Content-based restrictions on speech are presumptively unconstitutional, and courts analyze such restrictions under strict scrutiny.”

    The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943.

    Mainstream propaganda piece from CBC news Canada.

    New term coined: vaccine hesitancy. One step removed from anti-vaxers.

    I have been thinking about the recent harassment I received at the doctor's office regarding vaccine use. I wasn't there for anything that had to do with vaccines, I did not ask about vaccines. I would say the practitioner spent at least 5 minutes going on and on about vaccines. I can't help but wonder how difficult that would be to deal with if I had been there because I was really sick. Basically this woman was shaming me for not allowing an invasive treatment that I do not need, want or did not request that I am supposed to pay for. That is absolute insanity. I have never been pressured at this clinic before, I wonder if they are individually being pressured to up their compliance rate for monetary or funding reasons? I was also shamed for not regularly getting a mammogram.
