제멜바이스

Ignaz Semmelweis (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

내가 의과 대학에 있었을 때, 제가 의학사에 대해 듣던 몇 가지 강의에서 배웠던 기억에 남는 교훈 중 하나는 산과 의사이며 연구업적을 이룬 젊은 의사 제멜바이스 Ignaz Semmelweis (1818 - 1865)에게 일어난 일에 대한 슬픈 이야기였습니다. 비엔나, 오스트리아 출신인 제멜바이스 Semmelweis는 그가 반복적으로 입증한 것을 믿지 않았던 친밀한 기득권 의사인 "동료"가 자신의 의학 경력에서 (그리고 비엔나에서) 추적한 후 자신의 날이 오기 전에 죽었다 :

비엔나 산부인과의 엄청난 사망률 환자 ( "아이 발열")는 고령 의사가 임신한 환자를 검사 및 / 또는 전달하기 전에 손을 씻지 않아서 발생했습니다. 결과적으로, Semmelweis는 치명적인 "의사에 기인한"(ie : 의원성) 질병에서 유죄였던 그들을 책망했다.

When I was in medical school, one of the memorable lessons that I learned from the few lectures that I received on the history of medicine was the sad story of what happened to Ignaz Semmelweis (1818 - 1865), a young physician who practiced obstetrics in Vienna, Austria. Semmelweis died before his time after he was hounded out of his medical career (and out of Vienna) by close-minded establishment physician "colleagues" who refused to believe what Semmelweis had repeatedly proven to them: that the enormously high mortality rate of Vienna's obstetric patients (from "childbed fever") was caused by the older physician's failure to wash their hands prior to examining and/or delivering their pregnant patients. In effect, Semmelweis was accusing them of being guilty of fatal "doctor-caused" (ie: iatrogenic) diseases.

루이 파스퇴르가 전염병에 대한 세균 이론을 확립할 때까지 의사들은 사망 원인을 밝히기 위해 새로 죽은 사람, 종종 감염된 신체를 해부하는 중 의사가 부검실에서 직접 해산방으로 가야하는 것은 드문 일이 아니었습니다. 많은 시체는 건강한 병원에 입원한 의사의 소화기 오줌 환자 였고, 산모들은 산후 퇴원기간 동안 의원성 감염으로 사망했다. 종종 아기들은 죽거나 병이났다.

Up until Louis Pasteur formulated the germ theory of infectious disease it was not unusual for physicians to go directly to the delivery room from the autopsy room while in the middle of dissecting freshly dead, often infected bodies while trying to determine the cause of death. Many of the corpses were the doctor's own septic OB patients who came into the hospital healthy, and ended up dead because of an iatrogenic infection in the immediate post-partum period. Often the babies died or were sickened as well.

Semmelweis는 산파의 산부인과 출산 서비스 (동일한 병원에서)에서 태아의 베드 발열에 대한 사망률은 남성 의사의 통제하에 있었던 OB 서비스보다 훨씬 낮았다고 지적했다. 산부인과 의사는 훌륭한 위생의 중요성을 인식하고 골반 시험을 할 확률이 훨씬 적으면서도 친절한 의사였습니다. 그리고 그들은 또한 부검을 하지 않았다. 당시 노동계 여성들은 두 가지 서비스에 교대로 입원했지만, 사망률은 지역 사회에서 잘 알려져 있었고, 알고있는 환자들은 종종 의사 서비스에 입원하기를 거부하고 거리에서 해산하기를 선호했는데, 그 이유는 그래야 산모와 아기의 사망률이 낮아지기 때문이었다.

Semmelweis had noted that in the obstetric service of the female midwives (at the same hospital) the mortality rate for childbed fever was far lower than the OB service that was under the control of the male physicians. Midwives were gentler practitioners, more aware of the importance of good hygiene and far less likely to do pelvic exams; and they also did not do autopsies. At the time, women in labor were admitted to the two services on an alternating basis, but the mortality rates were well known in the community, and patients in the know often refused to be admitted to the physician services, preferring to deliver in the street had a low mortality rate.

따라서 의사가 통제하는 OB 서비스에서 높은 사망률을 설명할 수있는 가능성의 범위를 고려한 후에 Semmelweis는 의사가 손을 씻지 못하는 것이 원인이라고 생각했습니다. Semmelweis는 그의 논문을 증명하기 위해 출발했다.

태아 발열증 Childbed Fever이 병원성 질환임을 증명한 것은 제멜바이스 Semmelweis에게 치명적이었습니다.

그것의 원인을 증명하는 데 오랜 시간이 걸리지 않았습니다. 그는 자신의 이론이 옳았다는 것을 증명할 수있는 명백한 간단한 실험을 했다. 그는 자신의 감독하에 있던 미래 지향 산부인과 의사 그룹에 환자를 검사하거나 출산을 돕기 전에 염소계 살균 솔루션으로 손을 씻기만 하면됩니다. 아이 베드 발열의 발생률은 조산사 환자가 경험한 것과 동일한 속도로 급격히 떨어졌고, 따라서 아이 발열은 의원성 질환이었다.

So after considering the range of possibilities that might explain the higher mortality rate in the physician-controlled OB service, it was obvious to Semmelweis that the probable cause was the lack of physician hand-washing. Semmelweis set out to prove his thesis.

Proving that Childbed Fever was an Iatrogenic Disease was Fatal for Semmelweis

It didn't take him long to prove the connection. He did the obvious simple experiment that proved to him (and many other unbiased observers) that his theory was correct. He simply had his group of forward-thinking obstetric physicians that were under his supervision wash their hands with a chlorinated antiseptic solution prior to examining or delivering their patients. The incidence of childbed fever dropped dramatically down to the same rate experienced by the patients of the midwives, thus proving that childbed fever was an iatrogenic disease.

그러나 Semmelweis는 그의 생명을 구하는 발견 (동료의 진실에 대해 열린 마음으로 누군가를 설득하기에 충분한 시간을 반복했다)으로써 그의 동료들로부터 축하받는 대신, 황당하게도 그는 무시 당하고 혐오스러워졌으며 궁극적으로 불의로 인해 마을 밖으로 추방당했다. 그의 명예로운 업적은 직업적으로 존경받는 의사들이 임신한 여성의 사망 및 질병에 책임이 있음을 지적했기 때문이다.

Semmelweis가 의학의 사망의 중요성을 인식하고 그에 대한 사후 명예를 줄 때까지 수년이 걸렸습니다. 그리고 이런 기득권층의 반지성적 권위주의의 희생자를 기리는 용어인 "제멜바이스 효과 Semmelweis Effect"라는 말이 등장하기까지는 한 세기가 더 걸렸습니다.

But instead of being celebrated by his colleagues for his life-saving discovery (which he repeated enough times to convince anybody with an open mind about the truth of the matter), Semmelweis was ignored, denigrated and eventually driven out of town for being impertinent enough to have pointed out that the esteemed physicians of his otherwise honorable profession had been responsible for the deaths and sicknesses of the pregnant women in their care.

It took many years after Semmelweis's death for medicine to recognize the importance of his discovery and to give him the posthumous honor he deserved. It was another century before the term "The Semmelweis Effect" came into existence.

공격적인 피를 흘리게 하는 일과 조지 워싱턴의 죽음

Semmelweis가 발견되기까지 수십 년 전에 혈액 누출 (피가 환자에게 출혈하는 것)이 치료법이 없는 수의 질병에 대해 승인 된 치료법이었던 것은 아니었습니다. 나는 믿을만한 의사인 벤자민 러쉬 (Benjamin Rush) 박사 (나중에 미국 정신 의학의 아버지 (Father of American Psychiatry)로 축하 받음)에 의해 조지 워싱턴에게 반복적으로 피를 흘리는 일을 행했다는 사실을 기억하고 있습니다. 그의 초상화는 미국 정신과 의사의 상징으로 자랑스럽게 사용됩니다).

Aggressive Blood-letting and George Washington's Death

It hadn't been very many decades prior to Semmelweis's discovery that blood-letting (opening veins to bleed patients) was an approved treatment for any number of illnesses for which physicians had no cures. I recall learning that repeated blood-lettings were administered to George Washington by his trusted physician, Dr Benjamin Rush (who was later to be celebrated as the "Father of American Psychiatry" - and whose likeness is proudly used as the symbol of the American Psychiatric Association).

벤자민 러시

Benjamin Rush (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

독립 선언문 공동 서명인, 러시 (Rush) 박사는 많은 환자들에게 피를 흘리기를 열렬히 믿었으며, 그는 출혈과 충격으로 사망 할 때까지 미국의료계의 출혈 행위를 계속 지켰다. 다른 말로하면, 의원성 장애는 미국의 초대 대통령을 죽였을뿐만 아니라 그 시대의 많은 다른 사람들을 죽였을 가능성이 높습니다.

치료의 효과에 대해 의문의 여지가있는 신생아 의사 (또는 재수없는 환자의 가족)에게 진노를 상상할 수 있습니다. 물론 러쉬 박사는 의료 지식이 그러한 "치료법"이 비생산적인 것으로 밝혀질만큼 충분히 발전하지 않았기 때문에 의료 과실로 고소당한 적이 결코 없었다. 또한 아픈 환자들에 대한 야만적인 접근 방식의 어리석음을 지적 할만한 Semmelweis는 없을 것입니다.

Dr Rush, a co-signer of the Declaration of Independence, believed fervently in blood-letting for many of his patients, and he had persisted in bleeding Washington until he died of blood loss and shock. In other words, an iatrogenic disorder killed the first president of the United States - and very likely many others in that era as well.

One can only imagine the wrath directed at any upstart physician (or an unlucky patient's family) who had the temerity of questioning the effectiveness of the treatment. Dr Rush of course was never accused of medical malpractice since medical knowledge had not progressed sufficiently to reveal that such "treatments" were counterproductive. Also, there was probably no Semmelweis around to point out the folly of such barbaric approaches to sick patients.

Galileo Galilei는 또한 "Semmelweis 효과"의 피해자이기도했다.

Semmelweis 이전의 2 세기, 그리고 그의 죽음 직후 갈릴레오 갈릴레이 (1564-1642)는 "관측 천문학의 아버지"와 "현대 물리학의 아버지"라는 칭호를 모두 수상했습니다. (혹시 그가 태양이나 달의 일식을 보았는지 궁금해한다.) 그가 Semmelweis Effect의 피해자라고 말할 수있다. 그는 가까운 생각을 가진 교화적인 비평가들 사이에서 분명히 많은인지 부조화를 유발했습니다.

Galileo Galilei was Also a Victim of the "Semmelweis Effect"

Two centuries before Semmelweis, and long after his death, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was honored with the titles of both the "Father of Observational Astronomy" and the "Father of Modern Physics". (One wonders if he ever observed an eclipse of the sun or moon.) It could be said that he was a victim of the Semmelweis Effect. He surely caused a lot of cognitive dissonance among his close-minded, indoctrinated clerical critics.

This original thinker, philosopher, scientist and mathematician had proved beyond a doubt that the earth revolved around the sun - rather than the other way around, which was the archaic interpretation of some of the stories in the Old Testament. The impertinence of this scientist to dispute long-held religious beliefs incensed religious authoritarians who had been indoctrinated into believing the ancient teachings that the sun revolved around the earth. Anyone saying otherwise was a damnable heretic that deserved punishment - and so Galileo was condemned by the church to house arrest, a punishment that continued for the remainder of his life.

웨이크필드 Andrew Wakefield와 제멜바이스 Semmelweis 효과

Galileo와 Semmelweis는 Andrew Wakefield 박사가 한 세대 전에 치료 받았던 것과 동일한 방식으로 치료를 받았다. 이 연구에서는 심각하게 후퇴한 일련의 자폐증 환자의 감염된 장에서 글락소스미스클라인 제약사 GlaxoSmithKline의 다중 MMR 백신에있는 동일한 살아있는 홍역 바이러스가 발견되었다. 그 중 한 명은 GSK의 라이브 바이러스 MMR 주사 (다른 연구원에 의해 여러 번 복제 된 결과)가 주입된 직후 심각한 복통과 만성 설사로 고통 받고 있었습니다.

Andrew Wakefield and the Semmelweis Effect

Galileo and Semmelweis were treated the same way that Dr Andrew Wakefield was treated a generation ago when he proved that the same strain of live measles virus that was in GlaxoSmithKline's MMR vaccine was found in the infected bowels of a series of severely regressed autism patients, all of  whom had been suffering with severe abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea soon after they each one had been injected with GSK's live virus MMR shot (findings which, by the way, have been replicated a number of times by other independent researchers).

Dr Andrew Wakefield

연구 그룹의 웨이크 필드 (Wakefield) 박사와 그의 공동 저자 11 명은 그들이 조사한 새로운 증후군이 의원성 장애 (Iatrogenic Disorder)라는 점을 분명히 밝히려하지는 않았지만 많은 가해자들이 그것을 이해했다. MMR 주사의 일련의 희생자는 모두 심각한, 만성의 홍역 바이러스 장염을 앓았으며 MMR 접종 이전에 정상적인 어린이였던 자폐증 환자 모두가 심하게 퇴행했다. 웨이크필드 (Wakefield)는 동료 평가를 거쳐 The Lancet 에 게시된 후 (영국의 수천명의 부모가 자폐증으로 고통받는 어린이들도 유사한 백신으로 인한 장애를 앓고 있음) 축하받았다. 제약 회사인 GSK, Rupert Murdoch 황색 저널리즘 미디어 제국 (Murdoch의 아들은 GSK의 이사회에 앉았습니다)과 궁극적으로 영국의 고국에서 그를 추적하기 위해 결합된 Big Pharma에 필사적인 의료 시설입니다.

Dr Wakefield and his 11 co-authors in the research group weren't really trying to make the point that the new syndrome they were researching was an iatrogenic disorder, but that is how many of the perpetrators understood it. The series of victims of the MMR shot all had severe, chronic, measles virus enterocolitis and they were all also severely regressed autism patients that had been normal children prior to the MMR inoculations. And because Wakefield defended the study's findings after it was peer-reviewed and then published in The Lancet (and was then celebrated by the thousands of British parents whose autistic spectrum-afflicted children had suffered similar vaccine-induced disorders), he was hounded mercilessly by the pharmaceutical giant GSK, Rupert Murdoch yellow journalism media empire (Murdoch's son sat on the board of GSK) and ultimately the Big Pharma-complicit medical establishment that combined to hound him out of his home country of England.

유사하게, Semmelweis는 그의 발견을 공포하는 것을 계속할 때 그가 유사한 적대감으로 만난 헝가리 고국에 오스트리아에서 추방되었다. 그의 미래 지향적인 학생들 중 일부는 그의 논문을 지지하는 저널 기사를 출판했습니다. 유럽 ​​대륙의 다른 지역의 의사들은 자신이 밝혀 내었던 진실을 확신하면서 출산실에서 좋은 위생을 시작하기 시작했습니다.

Semmelweis가 죽은 지 2 년이 지났습니다. (그가 경비병에게 정신없이 빠져들고 악의적인 망명을 당한 후 경비원에 의해 악의적인 공격을 당한 후) 루이 파스퇴르가 전염병에 관한 세균 이론을 생각해 냈습니다. Semmelweis의 이론. 심지어 그의 경력을 파괴한 사람들에게도 생각이 떠올랐던 것입니다.

Similarly, Semmelweis was driven out of Austria to his Hungarian homeland, where he was met with similar hostility when he continued to promulgate his findings. Some of his forward-thinking students published journal articles that supported his thesis. And open-minded physicians elsewhere on the European continent were convinced of the truth he had uncovered, so that they too began instituting good hygiene in the delivery rooms.

It was only a couple of decades after Semmelweis's death (from a vicious beating by security guards after he was tricked into being admitted to an insane asylum) that Louis Pasteur came up with the germ theory of infectious diseases, thus making sense out of - and finally proving - Semmelweis's theory, even to those who had destroyed his career.

사후에만 Semmelweis는 여성의 건강에 기여한 공로로 유명했다. 그의 짧은 인생 동안 그가 얻었던 모든 것은 정당한 비난, 불명예와 무시와 조기의 고통스런 죽음이었다. Semmelweis와 Wakefield는 비합리적인 새로운 과학적 진리에 의해 위협 받았던 의학계에 의해 의도적으로 "방사성"(또는 "leprous")으로 만들어졌으며 비합리적으로 인정하지 않았습니다. 두 개척적인 의사 사이의 한 가지 차이점은 의료 시설이 Semmelweis의 아내에게 그가 정신병자이며 예의 바른 사회에서 제거되어야한다고 확신시킬 수 있었다는 것입니다. 행복하게, Wakefield의 아내는 남편의 중요한 일을 믿습니다. 그녀는 가까운 마음을 가진 의사들에게 자신의 진실을 납득시키려는 그의 지속적인 노력을 지지해왔다.

Only posthumously was Semmelweis honored for his contribution to women's health. All he got during his short life was undeserved condemnation, disgrace and ignominy and an early, painful death. Both Semmelweis and Wakefield were intentionally made "radioactive" (or "leprous") by the medical establishment that was threatened by unwelcome new scientific truths that they irrationally refused to acknowledge. One difference between the two pioneer physicians is that the medical establishment was able to convince Semmelweis's wife that he was insane and needed to be removed from polite society, while happily, Wakefield's wife believes in her husband's important work. She has remained supportive of his continued efforts to convince close-minded physicians of his truth.

과학은 결코 "정착"되지 않는다.

역사를 통틀어 권위주의자가 - 필사적으로 "과학이 정착되었다"(또는 "정착"될 수 있다고) 믿고 싶어하는 화석 의학의 의사가 아니라, 그들이 선택한 직업에 대해 알 필요가있는 모든 것을 알고있는 것처럼 행동했다. 특히 새로운 정보가 이전에 깊이 생각한 신념과 모순되는 경우, 새로운 것을 배워야하는 노력을 겪고 싶지 않았습니다.

"기득권층"이 갈릴레오, 제멜바이스, 웨이크필드 등을 어떻게 다루었는지 배울 수있는 교훈

Science is NEVER "Settled"

Authoritarians throughout history - not just fossilized physicians who desperately want to believe that "science is settled" (or can ever be" settled") - have behaved like they know everything that needs to be known about their chosen profession, while in reality they just haven't wanted to go through the effort of having to learn something new, especially if the new information contradicts their previously deeply held beliefs.

Lessons to be Learned from how the "Establishment" Treated Galileo, Semmelweis, Wakefield, et al

Many of today's medical establishment "authorities" have vested interests in the drugs and vaccines that cause some of them to become oblivious to the iatrogenic disorders caused by the drugs and vaccines that were integral to their profession. There are thousands of examples that present similar ethical dilemmas to my profession.

For instance, many of us physicians and physician's assistants prescribed Merck's popular arthritis drug Vioxx to some of the 60,000 patients that died of heart attacks directly because of Vioxx. (Many millions more were heart-sickened but survived - so far.) We were, by definition, complicit in causing some of those iatrogenic deaths or illnesses, although we weren't medicolegally liable. In those cases, the real fault lay first of all with Merck - who did the deeply flawed studies - but also with the FDA - the agency that approved the long-term use of the drug but didn't require long-term safety studies. Such short-sightedness, sadly, is normal for the FDA.

The same accusations of malfeasance could be leveled against every Big Pharma corporation that made every SSRI, every benzodiazepine tranquilizer, every anti-psychotic drug, every ADHD drug and every sleeping pill that we practitioners wrote prescriptions for and which ALL are fully capable of causing serious, permanent body and brain damage, although such manifestations may only become obvious years later.

And, of course, the same accusations of iatrogenesis could be leveled against every Big Pharma vaccine maker that has added to their factory vats proprietary ingredients that include neurotoxic metals and other toxins that likely have synergistic (multiplying, not just additive) adverse effects when they are injected into the tiny muscles of infants known to be immunologically and neurologically immature. What should alarm every physician and every parent (and every over-vaccinated soldier and pre-dementia adult) is that such vaccine combinations have never been eval‎uated for either short-term or long-term safety.

Galileo Galilei (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

One of the earliest examples of drug- or vaccine-induced iatrogenic disorders involved Smith Kline & French (SKF), the predecessor corporation of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and the maker of the infamous neurotoxic, so-called "anti-depressant" drug Paxil. GSK also manufactures the MMR vaccine, which contains three live viruses, including a strain of measles which was found in the infected intestines of the Wakefield autism research group discussed above. Both of those drugs are currently under fire by watchdog groups, but the major media does not report on such delicate (ie for media advertisers) issues.

SKF got FDA approval in 1955 for its dementia-inducing, memory-impairing and brain-damaging "major tranquilizer" Thorazine (which was the prototype for future so-called "anti-psychotic" drugs like Mellaril). Thorazine was the first of a flood of other dependency-inducing and brain-damaging "anti-psychotics" and then by a host of the so-called "minor tranquilizers" like Librium and Valium.

Such dependency-inducing drugs naturally made a lot of money for any number of multinational drug companies - as well as many psychiatrists. Ever since the break-out of psychiatric drugs on the market in the 1950s, we physicians have been bamboozled into trusting the fast-tracking of drugs and vaccines through their FDA approval process without long-term safety studies! And the epidemic of psych drug-induced dementia and the epidemic of vaccine-induced neurological and autoimmune disorders are evidence of the over-looked dangers.

The FDA is the federal regulatory agency that approves vaccines (except for the Anthrax vaccine that is being regularly injected into soldiers ever since Desert Storm and which has never been FDA approved), but the agency does not require vaccine makers to perform or present to the FDA either long-term or short-term safety or efficacy studies! Neither does the FDA require vaccine-makers to present double-blind studies to the FDA or comparative studies (against a competitor's vaccine) or even safety or efficacy studies of the vaccines that contain more than one antigen (!).

Vaccine-makers are also in denial (as is the CDC and the FDA and the AAP and the AMA) concerning the known neurotoxicities of many of the vaccine ingredients, such as the aluminum adjuvant that is currently in many vaccines or the preservative mercury (which was in many of the vaccines prior to 2000 (when the autism epidemic was just starting to surge).

In 2011, in a decision that granted Big Vaccine further protections against legal liability for when their vaccines killed or maimed patients, vaccines were justifiably labeled as "unavoidably unsafe" by the US Supreme Court.

The same charge of "unavoidable unsafe" could have been made against the previously normal blood-letting in Dr Rush's era and the lack of understanding by physicians about the importance of hand-washing for physicians in Semmelweis's era..

Galileo's critics refused to look through his telescope for the proof of his heliocentric theories. Semmelweis's critics refused to look at the evidence he presented to them. Wakefield and many other anti-over-vaccination activists (many scholars and independent scientists among them)  who have studied the complex science of Big Pharma's pro-vaccination  agendas - should be informing all concerned people to look at all sides of all issues before being tempted to make a firm decision.

The following list of useful quotations from anti-over-vaccination whistle-blowers is must reading for every human - open-minded or otherwise - that will soon be threatened by coercive vaccination legislation that is in the process of working through most state legislative bodies.

Graph revealing that the US mortality rate for measles had already declined to near zero by the time a measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, due to improved nutrition, sanitation, safer drinking water and the availability of refrigeration - and NOT to the vaccine!

Safety Recommendation for Parents Who Choose or are Mandated to Vaccinate Their Children, Based on Guidelines of the Autism Research Institute

1. Never vaccinate a sick child, even if just a runny nose from a viral infection, as all viruses are immunosuppressive, rendering the child more vulnerable to adverse vaccine reactions.2. Never allow more than two vaccines per visit; avoid all combination vaccines.3. Administer vitamin C before and after each vaccination, ideally in doses of 500 mgs every four hours during waking hours. Also give vitamin A in standard doses.4.All forms of sugar should be avoided for several days before and after vaccines, as sugar has been shown to diminish the protective activities of the immune system by depressing white blood cells' ability to destroy bacteria.

"industry-controlled ‘science' is not really science but a smokescreen to pave the way for products that may be harmful - but what do they care as long as they profit? There are many great scientists but there are also some who are willing to be hired to ‘prove' that something doesn't cause cancer, or that something is ‘safe'. You cannot trust the EPA, the FDA, or industry science." - Blogger

"A most disturbing thing about this entire zika virus fraud is the role that the mainstream media has played in continually promoting the fear mongering campaign orchestrated by the CDC.  This is another example of how the medical/pharmaceutical industry controls what our mainstream media reports.  They have gained the power to control not only what health information is reported, they also have the power to censor or not report any information that would be damaging to their financial interests.

"Here is one obvious example of this censorship.  On April 14, the Reuters News Agency reported that more than 11,000 pregnant women in Colombia had tested positive for zika.  More than 2,700 of them had already given birth, yet there were only two confirmed cases of microcephaly (compatible with the normal background rate). With only two cases of microcephaly out of more than 2,700 births, their health minister all but stated that there was no zika epidemic in Colombia.  This was just more proof that the zika virus is NOT the cause of microcephaly and there is no epidemic.

"But this was a total contradiction to all the fear mongering claims of the CDC, and as far as I know, this information was censored and never even reported by any of our mainstream news media. So, by keeping the public in the dark, the CDC has been able to continue with their fear mongering, and is still pressuring Congress to give them $1 billion more of our taxpayer dollars to fight this fake epidemic and develop a new vaccine.

"With the aid of the mainstream media, our government leaders and Congress also seem to blindly accept the word of the CDC as if it's the omnipotent and irrefutable truth.  In spite of all the contradictory evidence, it appears that all the CDC has to do is to just say "TRUST US, WE ARE THE EXPERTS.  IF WE SAY THERE IS A ZIKA VIRUS EPIDEMIC, YOU CAN BELIEVE IT'." - Blogger on Mercola.com 8/16/16

"During the last 10 years, there has been one death from measles, but that patient was an adult woman who was on immunosuppressive medications and had other serious health problems. (But between) 2000 and 2017, there were 156 deaths related to the MMR vaccine." - Dr. David Brownstein - Holistic Family Practitioner

"We are taught by the authorities that vaccines protect us against eventual aggressive viruses and microbes, and, therefore, prevent contagious illnesses and epidemics. This lie has been perpetuated for 150 years despite the ineffectiveness of vaccines in protecting against illnesses...the uselessness of certain vaccines, notably, TB & tetanus..diphtheria...influenza and hepatitis B." - Guylaine Lanctot, MD

"The decline in infectious diseases in developed countries had nothing to do with vaccinations, but with the decline in poverty and hunger (Dr. Buchwald draws the Committee's attention to a series of about 50 graphs in his book which show that vaccinations have no effect on the decline of infectious diseases)." - Gerhard Buchwald, MD

"Up to 90% of the total decline in the death rate of children between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever, diptheria, and measles occured before the introduction of immunisations and antibiotics." - Archie Kalokerinos, MD

"According to the records of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, from 1911 to 1935 the four leading causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S.A. were diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles. However, by 1945 the combined death rates from these causes had declined by 95% before the implementation of mass vaccine programs." - Harold Buttram MD

"All infectious diseases decreased without vaccinations. Not only did vaccines have no influence over the decrease of the diseases, the contrary is true, they slowed down the downward trend of all diseases. The best example for this is polio. After the majority of people were vaccinated, severe epidemics occurred, such as in 1962 in the German speaking countries, after vaccination had been in full force for 3 years. Dr Buchwald carefully collected the facts in his book, which prove this fact beyond doubt for all infectious diseases." - Anita Petek-Dimmer, German-born Swiss anti-vaccine activist.

"The really sad thing is the amount of doctors I've spoken to who say to me, ‘Del, I know that vaccines are causing autism, but I won't say it on camera because the pharmaceutical industry will destroy my career just like they did to Andy Wakefield.'" - Del Bigtree, Producer of "Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe"

"I tell practitioners that vaccines are drugs, albeit biological drugs. I remind them that they would not consider it good medicine to give an unnecessary pharmaceutical drug on a recurring basis. I think it is even worse to give a vaccine...that isn't necessary. The possible adverse consequences of a vaccine generally far outweigh the adverse consequences of a pharmaceutical drug. A pharmaceutical drug is usually much more restricted in its action. However, each time we stimulate an immune response, we have to look at the effect on all body systems-not only on antibody responses or cell-mediated immunity, but also on interactions with the endocrine system and the nervous system." - Dr Ronald Schultz, Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathobiological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an expert in companion animal vaccines.

On the Arrogance of Preventive Medicine

"But surely the fundamental promise we make when we actively solicit individuals and exhort them to accept preventive interventions must be that, on average, they will be the better for it. Accordingly, the presumption that justifies the aggressive assertiveness with which we go after the unsuspecting healthy must be based on the highest level of randomized evidence that our preventive manoeuvre will, in fact, do more good than harm. Without evidence from positive randomized trials (and, better still, systematic reviews of randomized trials) we cannot justify soliciting the well to accept any personal health intervention. There are simply too many examples of the disastrous inadequacy of lesser evidence as a basis for individual interventions among the well: supplemental oxygen for healthy preemies (causing retrolental fibroplasia and blindness), healthy babies sleeping face down (causing SIDS), thymic irradiation in healthy children, and the list goes on." - Dr David Sackett, (a pioneer of evidence based medicine),

"The full extent of the Gardasil scandal needs to be assessed: everyone knew when this vaccine was released on the American market that it would prove to be worthless. Diane Harper, a major opinion leader in the United States, was one of the first to blow the whistle, pointing out the fraud and scam of it all. I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all time because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers. Gardasil is useless and costs a fortune! In addition, decision-makers at all levels are aware of it! Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, paralysis of the lower limbs, vaccine-induced MS and vaccine-induced encephalitis can be found, whatever the vaccine." - Dr Bernard Dalbergue (former Merck employee)

"The autism epidemic is real, and excessive vaccinations are the cause." - Dr Bernie Rimland

"Completely unvaccinated children have less chronic disease and a lower risk of autism than vaccinated children." - J. B. Handley, Jr. - Founder of Generation Rescue

"...our current results are consistent with the existing evidence on the toxicology and pharmacokinetics of Aluminum adjuvants which altogether strongly implicate these compounds as contributors to the rising preval‎ence of neurobehavioral disorders in children. Given that autism has devastating consequences in a life of a child, and that currently in the developed world over 1% of children suffer from some form of ASD, it would seem wise to make efforts towards reducing infant exposure to aluminum from vaccines." - C A Shaw, PhD

"There is a serious problem with vaccine safety. Vaccine aluminum adjuvant has adverse neurological effects, at dosages that are recommended by the US CDC. Vaccine critics are supported by the science. Parents refusing to vaccinate according to the recommended CDC schedule are supported by the science. Use aluminum-containing vaccines with great caution, or not at all." - Chris Shaw, PhD http://vaccinepapers.org/category/aluminum/

"Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant...research clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences."  - (FromTomljenovic and Shaw's journal article "Aluminum Vaccine Adjuvants: Are They Safe?", published in Curr Med Chem, 2011;18(17):2630-7.)

"Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science's medical understanding of their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted." - Tomljenjovic and Shaw

"No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable...for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death." - President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when children die or are disabled from vaccine injuries, thus reversing many of the intentions of the original legislation establishing the FDA

"The human immune system is divided into two major classes: 1) Cellular Immunity (for which injected vaccines do absolutely nothing, except to weaken it), located in the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and their respective lymph nodes and 2) Humoral Immunity, with production of antigen-specific antibodies by plasma cells in the bone marrow. For eons of time the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts have been the primary sites of infectious microbe entry into the body so that, of necessity, mucosal/cellular immunity has evolved as the primary defense system, with humoral immunity serving a secondary or backup role...Vaccines are reversing these roles, attempting to substitute vaccine-induced humoral immunity for the far more efficient mucosal immunity, the latter in turn undergoing a process of "atrophy of disuse" as a result of this role-switching." -  Harold Buttram, MD

"The steadily increasing patterns of physical and/or mental illnesses among American children show no signs of abating. Unless this issue is definitively addressed, at some future time the process will pass a point of no return (socially and economically) from the sheer numbers of incapacitated children." -Harold Buttram, MD

"A 2007 [Zika] outbreak on Yap Islands in Micronesia is estimated to have affected nearly 75% of the (island's) population of some 12,000 people, and a 2013 outbreak in French Polynesia affected nearly 28,000 of 270,000 residents. Neither epidemic caused a spike in microcephaly." - Quartz (qz.com)?

"The correlation between a) the presence of Zika and b) babies with the microcephaly birth defect is so weak and sparse, it constitutes counter-evidence for Zika as the cause...the overwhelming majority of birth-defect cases show no presence of Zika. Therefore, the Zika-carrying mosquitoes have no business being the target of toxic spraying. But they are. And the spraying increases the risk of neurological damage in babies." - Jon Rappoport (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/category/zika/)

"Microcephaly may result from any insult that disturbs early brain growth...Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly..." - From the Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society. (Neurology 2009 Sep 15; 73(11) 887-897)

"...even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the ‘flu' problem because most ‘flu' appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive." - Dr Peter Doshi (from a British Medical Journal review article, "Influenza: marketing vaccines by marketing disease" 2013 (BMJ 2013; 346:f3037)

"...It's no wonder so many people feel that ‘flu shots' don't work: for most flus, they can't work because most diagnosed cases of the flu aren't the flu." - Jon Rappoport

"[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia' took 62,034 lives in 2001-61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified." - Dr Peter Doshi, from in his 2005 BMJ report, titled, "Are US flu death figures more PR than science?" (BMJ 2005; 331:1412)

"Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data showed an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006)." - Dr Peter Doshi de-bunking the CDC's pro-vaccine disinformation campaign that says that 36,000 people die from influenza annually

"The CDC says that 36,000 people die from the flu every year in the US. But actually, it's closer to 20. However, we can't admit that, because if we did, we'd be exposing (the CDC's) gigantic psyop. The whole campaign to scare people into getting a flu shot would have about the same effect as warning people to carry iron umbrellas, in case toasters fall out of upper-story windows." - Jon Rappoport

"Alzheimer's Disease is a human form of chronic aluminum neurotoxicity." - JR Walton, PhD - Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, St George Hospital, Sydney, Australia

"The soaring incidence of physical and mental illnesses among today's children (may be) causally related to current childhood vaccine programs. Primary among these is the large-scale contamination of the measles, mumps, and influenza vaccines with retroviruses capable of engrafting their genetics into the DNA of childhood recipients. This is rendered more likely because of the cavalier disregard with which combinations of viral vaccines are now being administered, primarily involving the MMR vaccines...in spite of the toxicology principle that combinations of toxins may bring exponential (10-fold or 100-fold) increases in toxicity." - Harold Buttram, MD

"In the field of chemical toxicology it is universally recognized that combinations of toxins may bring exponential increases of toxicity; ie, a combination of two chemicals may bring a 10-fold increase in toxicity, three chemicals 100-fold increases. This same principle almost certainly applies to the immunosuppressive effects of viral vaccines when administered in combination, as with the MMR vaccine, among which the measles vaccine is (known to be)exceptionally immunosuppresive." - Harold Buttram, MD

"...the NIH (National Institutes of Health) is incapable of conducting conflict-free research. ...it is clear that the system managing our vaccine program is corrupt beyond repair and needs a complete overhaul." - Lori Mellwain, National Autism Association board chair

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" -Upton Sinclair, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist American author who wrote in the first half of the 20th century. Sinclair's 1903 novel "Jungle" (about the repulsive slaughterhouse practices in the meat-packing industry in Chicago) led to President Theodore Roosevelt's pushing through the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

The following quotes are from: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/doctors_against_vaccines.htm

"The only safe vaccine is one that is never used." - Dr James A. Shannon, National Institutes of Health

"No batch of vaccine can be proved safe before it is given to children." - Dr Leonard Scheele, Surgeon General of the United States, addressing an AMA convention in 1955

"The evidence for indicting immunizations for SIDS is circumstantial, but compelling. However, the keepers of the keys to medical-research funds are not interested in searching this very important lead to the cause of an ongoing, and possibly preventable, tragedy. Anything that implies that immunizations are not the greatest medical advance in the history of public health is ignored or ridiculed. Can you imagine the economic and political import of discovering that immunizations are killing thousands of babies?" - Dr William C. Douglass, MD (Honored twice as America's ‘Doctor of the Year')

"Only after realising that routine immunisations were dangerous did I achieve a substantial drop in infant death rates. The worst vaccine of all is the whooping cough vaccine...it is responsible for a lot of deaths and for a lot of infants suffering irreversible brain damage. In susceptible infants, it knocks their immune systems about, leading to irreparable brain damage, or severe attacks or even deaths from diseases like pneumonia or gastro-enteritis and so on." - Dr Kalokerinos

"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has been reported following the administration of DPT. The significance is unclear. 85% of SIDS cases occur in the period 1 through 6 months of age, with the peak incidence at age 2 to 4 months." (From the accompanying insert to Connaught Labs DPT vaccine.) -  Jane Orient, MD, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) and clinical lecturer in medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and a professor of clinical medicine at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.

"Official data shows that large scale vaccination has failed to obtain any significant improvement of the diseases against which they were supposed to provide protection" - Dr Sabin, developer of Polio vaccine

"The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunization.....There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease." - Dr Robert Mendelsohn, MD

"It is pathetic and ludicrous to say we ever vanquished smallpox with vaccines, when only 10% of the population was ever vaccinated." - Dr Glen Dettman

"The decline in infectious diseases in developed countries had nothing to do with vaccinations, but with the decline in poverty and hunger." - Gerhard Buchwald, MD

"There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good." - Dr J. Anthony Morris (formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the US Federal Drug Admin.)

"There is insufficient evidence to support routine vaccination of healthy persons of any age." - Paul Frame, MD Journal of Family Practice

"I think that no person would permit anybody to get close to them with an inoculation if they would really know how they are made, what they carry, what has been lied to them about and what the real percent of danger is of contracting such a disease which is minimal." - Dr Eva Snead

"I was working in one of the oldest lung illness treatment centres in Germany, and just by chance, I looked at the files of those people who had fallen ill during the first German epidemic of smallpox (in 1947)...We had always been told that the smallpox vaccinations would protect against smallpox. And now I could verify, thanks to the files and papers, that all of those who had fallen ill had been vaccinated. This was very upsetting for me." -  Gerhard Buchwald, MD

"There has been a frightening increase in cases of autism that has not been explained. There are a number of anecdotal reports from parents that symptoms of autism have appeared close to the time of the (MMR) vaccine." - Jane Orient, MD

"I once believed in Jenner; I once believed in Pasteur. I once believed in vaccination. I once believed in vivisection. But I changed my views as the result of hard thinking." - Dr Hadwen

"If you want the truth on vaccination you must go to those who are not making anything out of it. If doctors shot at the moon every time it was full as a preventive of measles and got a shilling for it, they would bring statistics to prove it was a most efficient practice, and that the population would be decimated if it were stopped." - Dr Allinson

"The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunization...There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease." - Dr Robert Mendelsohn, MD

"You might as well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination." - George Bernard Shaw

"The vaccinations are not working, and they are dangerous.  We should be working with nature." - Lendon H.Smith, MD

"Medicine is of all the Arts the most noble; but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present far behind all the other arts." -Hippocrates (400 BC)
