World Polio Day
Image credit: Jason Roberts
As a virologist who has worked on poliovirus since 1979, I would be remiss if I did not note that today, 24 October, is World Polio Day. World Polio Day was established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis.
The polio eradication effort has made impressive progress towards eliminating polio from the planet. In 1988 it was estimated that there were a total of 350,000 cases of poliomyelitis (probably an underestimate); as of this writing there have been 301 cases in 2013, which is unfortu...

Seven Year-Old Vaccine-Injured Boy Refused Compensation For Not Being Disabled Enough
Conclusion
When it comes to compensation, many of the world’s governments shirk their responsibilities and turn a blind eye to suffering families. Families are repeatedly encouraged to apply for compensation even though the governments are fully aware that they will be refused compensation when they do.
It is families like the Hadfields who need the money the most. Josh is a child who has clearly been injured after receiving a vaccination recommended by the government and yet his family has been refused compensation because the VDPU has deemed him as not disabled enough. How disabled does a child have to be, for goodness...

A saga of HeLa cells
We have been using HeLa cells in my laboratory since 1982, when I arrived at Columbia University Medical Center fresh from postdoctoral work with David Baltimore at MIT. I brought with me a line of HeLa cells and used them for 30 years for our research on viruses. Here is a story of how we lost the cells and then found them ten months later.
As everyone knows, the continuous HeLa cell line was derived from a cervical tumor taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951 (if you don’t know the story, you should read Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, or my shorter summary). When I arrived at the Baltimore...

How Pharmaceutical Companies Hide the Dangers of Vaccines from Parents
Conclusions
Most middle school students are familiar with the design of a cause and effect study. The pharmaceutical companies are getting around ethically and fairly designed studies by claiming that it would be unethical to withhold a lifesaving medical intervention such as vaccines. This despite the fact that short term studies never included a ‘true’ placebo and vaccinated children have never been compared to non-vaccinated children in long term studies.
As you now are familiar with faulty research designs falsely concluding vaccines are safe for your children and protect your children from illness you may wan...

Tarek Loubani's and John Greyson's freedom is our freedom: an OM editorial
Two Canadians, Dr. Tarek Loubani and Professor John Greyson, were arrested on August 16th in Cairo, Egypt. They remain in prison, without formal charges. They are 9 days into a hunger strike, hoping to gain attention to their plight. Despite international attention, little is known about the details surrounding their incarceration, or plans for their release.
Both were en route to the Gaza Strip where Loubani, an emergency physician from London, Ontario, leads a project training health workers at Al-Shifa Hospital, the country's largest. Greyson, an award-winning filmmaker and professor at York University in Toronto, ac...

New Minnesota State Law Bans Cancer-Causing Formaldehyde in Children’s Products, Stays in Vaccines
Conclusion
If legislatures are concerned with your children wearing clothes or playing with toys containing formaldehyde, why give pharmaceutical products that are injected a free pass?
At the end of the day, government officials do not know your child’s name or face. They care about keeping their jobs and making sure they uphold the policies put in place. The simple truth is this: Vaccine manufacturers are protected by law if your child suffers from an adverse reaction.
Lastly, as a starting reference point, I recommend you read an older but brutally honest review of what happens when formaldehyde is injected into anima...

These Weird New Tricks Are Being Used to Vaccinate Your Child
Conclusion
Let’s face it – vaccinations are big business. Wherever we go or whatever we do, the pharmaceutical industries have arrived there first with their vaccination propaganda. Whether we believe in vaccination or not, the majority of us would likely agree that vaccinations are probably the most advertised commodity on our planet.
Year in and year out we are faced with ads for the flu vaccine, the HPV vaccine and the MMR. Ads appear on billboards, in our stores, in magazines and at the movies. The pharmaceutical industries and our governments have even stooped to an all-time low by peddling their wares to ...

How The CIA Thwarted Polio Eradication In Pakistan
Using medical personnel and medical aid as cover for a CIA plot seems like a very bad idea. Ben Richmond: A local warlord banned vaccinations after Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi was linked to the CIA operation to find Osama bin Laden. Under the guise of giving out a Hepatitis B vaccination, the doctor collected DNA samples from children, looking for bin Laden’s family members. A link was established between the CIA and vaccinations and starting on June 16, 2012, tribal... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Five Month-Old Baby Dies Just Days After 8 Vaccinations – Parents Are Charged With Her Murder
Conclusion
As with so many of these cases, Baby A did not just receive just one vaccine, so it is therefore difficult to pinpoint exactly which vaccine, if any, may have led to her death. However, it is vital that the doctors involved in this case as with all cases, consider the vaccines as a possible contributory factor.
Sadly, these parents have been accused and charged with the murder of their daughter without any substantial evidence of foul play. There appears to be no evidence of external head injuries or bruising to the upper body to indicate that Baby A had been shaken.
I believe that if this child had been shaken ...

Dangerous online writing demands physician attention
This report is the most comprehensive examination of the immunization schedule to date. The IOM committee uncovered no evidence of major safety concerns associated with adherence to the childhood immunization schedule.
The science is clear that living a life with vaccines is a safer one. Great thing is you can have it best: eat organic, leave a near-zero carbon footprint, and avoid life-threatening infections for you and your children with safe vaccines as recommended by the Center for Disease Control and The American Academy of Pediatrics.

Immunization workers murdered: The price of killing Osama bin Laden
The price has been in lives. The capture and killing of Osama bin Laden occurred without loss of any U.S. military lives. It was hailed as a hugely successful special forces and intelligence operation. Still to believe that the operation was accomplished without the loss of life is both incorrect and naive. The lives lost have been those of polio vaccination workers murdered in the backlash against the use of CIA operatives masquerading as immunization workers to gather intelligence in Pakistan. Other lives changed forever are those of children who have been and will be paralyzed by polio who will not receive vaccina...

International Day of Peace Manipulated to Promote Vaccinations in Developing Countries
Conclusion
I have demonstrated three stories from around the world, reporting on children either dying or suffering from severe adverse reactions after they have received vaccinations included the vaccination schedule. Yet despite the many continuing stories such as these, governments from around the world, hand-in-hand with medical agencies, continue to line up small children to vaccinate them with dangerous, pre-licensed vaccines.
While they do this, they allow organizations like Peace One Day to use International Day of Peace as an excuse to promote these vaccinations, over world peace. In my opinion the exploitation of...

Post Polio Iliopsoas Atrophy-MRI
33 year old polio patient MRI spine was done and showed mild scoliotic tilt with convexity to left. Left iliopsoas muscle is not well seen with areas of fatty replacement within the iliacus and psoas major muscle. Left gluteal muscles are also atrophied. These findings likely indicate atrophic changes in the muscles along with fatty replacement & scoliotic tilt.
