JoAnn Rupiper, a former pediatric nurse now employed by the Southern Nevada Health District, spoke Jan. 26 at the 2013 Live Well Health Expo at the Bill and Lillie Heinrich YMCA, here in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
A report on her talk, billed as intended to \u201cdispel vaccine myths and misconceptions,\u201d appeared in the Jan. 27 Review-Journal.<\/p>\n
I have nothing against Nurse Rupiper, who I\u2019m sure loves children and wishes them well. Nor do I know enough about this branch of medicine to says she\u2019s entirely wrong; it\u2019s not my role to tell parents that kids shouldn\u2019t receive any inoculations at all, and I\u2019m not saying that.<\/p>\n
But I do believe people should be fully informed, and I found Nurse Rupiper\u2019s presentation a tad one-sided.<\/p>\n
So I sent a copy to retired neurosurgeon and author Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, a former clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and currently a visiting professor in the biology department at Belhaven College.<\/p>\n
Dr. Blaylock is the author of a number of books, including \u201cExcitotoxins: The Taste That Kills\u201d (1994), and \u201cNatural Strategies for Cancer Patients\u201d (2003). Dr. Blaylock also writes a monthly newsletter, the Blaylock Wellness Report, and is associated with the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, having served on the editorial board of their journal.<\/p>\n
I asked him if he\u2019d care to provide some counterpoint to Nurse Rupiper\u2019s enthusiastic endorsement of numerous vaccinations for all children, including newborns. He did.<\/p>\n
They were lengthy; I\u2019ll publish only a part of them here, while posting Dr. Blaylock\u2019s full response on my Web site, www.vinsuprynowicz.com.<\/p>\n
At Saturday\u2019s event here, Ms. Rupiper explained many vaccines are made from weakened strains of the virus they are used to prevent; that these strains \u201cteach\u201d the immune system to resist and fight infection.<\/p>\n
Dr. Blaylock comments: \u201cNewer evidence suggest that these \u2018attenuated\u2019 or weakened viruses, once in the body, rapidly mutate into virulent (disease-causing) forms and that this is driven by high free radical generation within the person. … These mutated viruses can then cause diseases not characteristic with the original virus, as we see with the measles virus.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs far as \u2018teaching the immune system,\u2019 it is agreed upon that vaccines shift immunity to the Th2 mode, which is immune suppressive (cellular immunity) and associated with a high incidence of autoimmune diseases, which explains the dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases among the young over the past two decades, when the number of vaccinations increased dramatically.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince suppression of cancer development is dependent on Th1 (cellular immunity), excess vaccination could possibly increase one\u2019s risk of developing cancer later in life and make it less likely to be cured. It would certainly increase one\u2019s risk of developing infections outside the antigen used in the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nurse Rupiper told her Health Expo audience it\u2019s been shown that kids, even newborns, can handle vaccines and they should be inoculated. Health care providers know what vaccinations children and adults need and when they need them, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs younger children are being vaccinated we are seeing a host of new disorders, especially autoimmune and neurological disorders,\u201d Dr. Blaylock responds. \u201cFor example, after the H1N1 vaccine using a special adjuvant a number of children developed narcolepsy — a devastating neurological disorder. The vaccine was banned in these countries after it occurred. In addition, we see a number of cases of vaccine-induced encephalitis, seizures and even dementing illnesses associated with vaccines, especially the tetanus and hepatitis B vaccine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe human brain undergoes extensive development after birth, especially during the first two years of life,\u201d Dr. Blaylock continues. \u201cIt has been shown that prolonged and repetitive immune stimulation in the body (systemically), as we see with vaccination, can cause abnormal development of the brain, leading to deficiencies in social control, aggressiveness, speech difficulties and learning problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cMercury and aluminum are known to produce inflammation in the brain and damage to the developing brain by a process called immunoexcitotoxicity. The vast majority of physicians, including pediatricians, know nothing about the mechanism by which vaccinations damage the developing brain, yet it has been well demonstrated in the neuroscience literature — which they never read.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nurse Rupiper asked her audience: \u201cWho do you think received more antigens — the toxins that trigger an immune response — from vaccines: children in the 1940s or children today?\u201d She then answered her own question: \u201cAlthough children in the 1940s only received vaccines to prevent four diseases, they got about 3,200 antigens, whereas today\u2019s children receive vaccines to prevent 14 diseases but only get about 156 antigens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cScientific understanding of vaccines and technological advances in the laboratory have allowed scientists and manufacturers to make vaccines that are more purified and contain fewer antigens while still affording immune protection,\u201d Ms. Rupiper continued. \u201cBefore any vaccine is approved by the government it undergoes rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Blaylock replies: \u201cThis ridiculous argument was proposed by some of the paid defenders of vaccines. It is a pure illusion. It is not the antigen that is the primary danger, it is the adjuvant — the part of the vaccine designed to produce an intense immune reaction over a very long period — even years. These adjuvants are much more powerful than those used in the 1940s, when I received my vaccines.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne must recall it is not the total viral or bacterial antigen exposure that is most important, but rather the accumulated dose of the vaccine adjuvant. Today children are receiving as many as six to nine vaccines in one office visit — even small babies. This is repeated every two months for a total of some 42 inoculations.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudies have shown that doing this triggers high levels of brain inflammation and in some, severe damage to the brain. This explains the high-pitched crying, prolonged fevers, seizures and encephalitis increasingly being seen in these children.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis mechanism of intense microglia activation in the brain following systemic immune stimulation (vaccination) is well recognized in the neuroscience literature,\u201d Dr. Blaylock continues. \u201cBecause the immune stimulation by the vaccine is so much more intense than with natural infections, and especially more prolonged, it is more likely to cause brain injury than natural infections. Because the vaccines cause a Th2 shift in immunity, the normally protective T-lymphocyte protection to the brain seen with natural infections is absent — greatly increasing the danger to the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the end, Ms. Rupiper\u2019s advice was for parents to see that they and their children are vaccinated against all preventable infections. If everyone does that, she said, we\u2019ll all be healthier.<\/p>\n
Dr. Blaylock responds:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe evidence that this is not true is extensive and growing. The more vaccines that are given, the worse health our children experience. We have seen a dramatic rise in asthma, type I diabetes, Crohn\u2019s disease, ulcerative colitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases over the past two decades — especially among the youth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also seeing a dramatic increase in neurological diseases including autism spectrum disorders, encephalitis, language and speech problems and abnormal behavior. This is consistently ignored by the proponents of vaccine safety. Only 2 to 10 percent of vaccine complications are ever reported to the government reporting agency — VAERS — yet these files contains tens of thousands of reported complications every year.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalks such as this are deceptive and are designed to scare people, especially mothers of small children, to submit them to multiple vaccines. For example, during each flu season, mothers have been told that babies 6 months old to 1 year are at a high risk of dying from the flu.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, the incidence of death in this age group in less than one child in 10 million and most of these children have immune deficiency disorders and cannot be vaccinated. Second, the largest examination of studies has clearly shown that the flu vaccines have zero percent effectiveness in children less than 2 years of age. In adults, they have an effectiveness of about 30 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
