The Anti-Vaccine movement. Why is it growing so quickly? Why is conventional medicine so desperate to prove vaccines do not harm us?

The conventional medical establishment is desperate to convince us all that vaccines are safe, that they do not cause patient harm, and particularly that there is no link between vaccines and autism. Anti-vaxxers, they say, are a danger to public health, subjecting us to deadly diseases such as measles and mumps.

Over the last week I have had three reasons to consider the nature and background of conventional medicine's desperation, each one making it clear that the future credibility of conventional medicine is now at stake.

  • If vaccines are found to damage our health, particularly if there is any link between vaccines and autism the reputation, conventional medicine is as good as finished. 
  • Moreover, it is no longer just about the damage pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines causes to patients. It is also that doctors would have been found out - denying the damage they must know is being caused.
  • If this ever becomes clear, patients would never again trust pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines; and never again trust the doctors who have been lying to us. And entire industry would be effectively destroyed

So the stakes are high, and this is why the protestations of doctors about vaccines safety are becoming increasingly desperate.

1. A question recently posed on the Quora platform
"Why is the anti-vaccine movement growing so quickly?"

Most of the answers the question received did point out that people patients with vaccine damaged children were unlikely to continue using them just because doctors continued to insist that they are 'entirely safe'. From experience they know otherwise!

In my answer I said that whilst the ant-vaccine movement continues to be quite small, it was growing, and that in future there were two main factors that would only accelerate its growth.

First is conventional medicine’s continuing insistence that vaccines are ‘entirely safe’, and that any safety concerns were generated by ‘misinformation’ and 'false news'. This 'misinformation' usually comes from people who have seen the damage vaccines can cause! The problem that conventional medicine has is that drug damaged families are now everywhere, and unless or until the state is prepared to ‘liquidate’ us, the story of vaccine harm will continue to be told.

Indeed, there are many sources of information that will keep the story of vaccine damage alive. If we look at VAER’s data (the USA vaccine court) we can see quite clearly that despite doctors telling us that vaccines are safe the USA government is paying out huge sums of money, every year, to damaged families - money that would not be awarded without good reason or justification.

Moreover, there is the damage (or the known 'side effects') that are outlined in 'patient information leaflets' (or PILs) that accompany each and every pharmaceutical drug and vaccine. In other words, although doctors continue to insist vaccines do not cause harm, the evidence of harm is contained within their own medical literature.

Second, the dominance of the conventional medical establishment has made it increasingly arrogant, so arrogant in fact that it is now trying to impose their drugs and vaccines on all of us - whether we want them or not, on the basis that

  • ‘They’ know best! 
  • ‘We’ are misinformed and ignorant, that we need doctors to tell us what is best for us. 
Everywhere the Orwellian state beckons, not least in the USA, the so-called ‘land of freedom’. And from what I can see and hear (from England) the pharmaceutical companies are winning this battle. Enforced medication is dominant within USA politics, in the mainstream media, in health services. Yet it is also opposed, everywhere, by proponents of personal freedom, and democracy. I suspect that the war will be won by the strongest argument, and people will ultimately choose personal choice, and health freedom, over mandatory medicine imposed by the corporate-dominated state.

In my answer I said that I was not an ‘anti-vaxxer’, per se, but someone who believes in (i) the medical principle of “first, do no harm’, and (ii) the political principles of freedom and democracy. The vaccine issue is about both these elements, and conventional medicine will find it difficult to prove that their drugs and vaccines do not cause patient harm, it explain why it is necessary (in a democracy) to force people to accept mandatory medicine.

The desperation of the conventional medical establishment is about their ability and confidence that they can do either, in the longer term.

2. Responses to another Quora question
But then I looked at another Quora post. This asked the more direct question - "Did your child get autism after vaccination?". I strongly suggest that you have a look at some of these responses. Certainly, I was astonished to see the number of responses - it had received over 100. And when I looked at the nature of many of the responses, which I skim-read, it suggested that they were highly sophisticated and technical responses which could only have came from people with a vested interest in conventional medicine. They suggested, perhaps, that this was a co-ordinated response, linked to the desperation to 'prove' that there was no direct link between vaccines and autism.

So the question must be asked - what is this desperation all about? Why such a huge, co-ordinated response to the question of the link between autism and vaccines?

It is also notable from several 'parents' of autistic children who used the argument that they did not blame vaccines for their disability. Some said it was 'just a coincidence' that the symptoms of autism came shortly after the vaccine! A coincidence that happens so frequently? Others said that "they would have developed autism anyway, even if they did not have the vaccination". Others said that their children were so pleasant, intelligent and loving they would not want them to be any different, leaving me wondering what would have been wrong with them being pleasant, intelligent, loving - and normal?

3. Research funding for research in vaccines, aluminium toxicity and autism
The third reason were articles that have appeared in the Times, and the websites of Natural News and Age of Autism, concerning Professor Chris Exley, of Keele University. described by the Times as "a controversial British academic who claims childhood vaccines can cause autism".

Professor Exley has been blocked from raising funds by scientific research councils after protests by health scientists and 'experts' who were 'infuriated' when he told parents that the aluminium in vaccines may cause “severe and disabling” autism. The Times likened him to Andrew Wakefield, whose 1998 claim that the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine caused autism led to a fall in immunisation rates.

As the Age of Autism website explained, Exley has resorted to crowd funding to pursue his research into aluminium toxicity. It comments that this kind of drama has unfolded many times before - a well respected doctor or researcher who begins to ask questions about vaccine safety as a result of scientific research, and his/her career is adversely affected as a result.

The Natural News article uses the headline "Medical police state cuts off research funding from scientist who found that vaccines cause autism". The term 'medical police state' might be appropriate, even if many may find that rather too sensational. Yet the situation certainly indicates the power of the pharmaceutical industry, and its ability to controls conventional medicine, and the funding of medical science. Aluminium is a known poison, and an ingredient of many of the vaccines that are injected into our children's bloodstreams. The conventional medical establishment clearly does not want medical science to investigate what happens when aluminium is injected into us - which, at best, sounds very unscientific, and at worst suggest that doctors are afraid of what such research might discover about the safety of vaccines.

So how will this all progress? The conventional medical establishment will, in their desperation, continue to deny that vaccines cause harm, and the pharmaceutical industry will continue to plough its huge profits into making sure that doctors, politicians, the media, et al, have a vested interest in not informing us.

Yet despite this the anti-vaccine movement will grow, albeit slowly, because the evidence of the harm caused by conventional medicine is there for anyone to see, not least by those people and their carers who have been damaged by pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. And if too many people get to know this it would be the end for a medical system that has dominated health care for over a century.

In the end the truth will prevail!
