New Item 2
What is the actual risk from vaccines?
-We know vaccines have saved many lives,
but we need to know the risk.
If there was no risk from vaccine there would be no
controversy, this website would be pointless, and we
would get all vaccines and be quiet.
-Unfortunately there is risk, like any medical intervention has.
So how much of a risk is there? We need to known that to make
an informed decision.
This section took a lot of work.
You won't see most of the science below on the CDC and HC websites, "protect the vaccination program" at all costs.
"Side effects are not rare, just rarely acknowledged"
-We are told, "the disease is much more dangerous than the vaccine". That may be true, but the fact is I dont think there is enough data to make that claim. We have little idea of long term harm of giving an infant so many injections. No one will do the badly needed vaccinated versus un-vaccinated study.
There are things to make vaccines safer in the meantime, like get shots one at a time and skip or delay several of them.
The biggest fear of vaccines is side effects, or Adverse Events. We take vaccines because we figure the benefits out weigh the risks. But infectious diseases are mostly gone and it is time to seriously adjust the kids vaccination schedule.
HC and the CDC have adverse event tracking systems, but they have 95 to 99% under-reporting(Links 24 and 26 on the Home page), so they don't know how many there are. "Nobody reports", your not a "team player" if you do. This new study as well, massive under-reporting.
-What is the definition of a "Serious Adverse Event"? A serious adverse event in drug trials or a medical setting, is any medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires in-patient hospitalization or results in persistent or significant disability.
Most vaccine and drug studies use this term.
This explains difference between common, rare and very rare side effects(page 10), and what serious adverse events are, and what other medical terms are.
-Health Canada and the CDC teach our doctors that "Serious adverse events are 1 in a million". Below I highlighted in green, all science that shows that statement is not true. Starts at link #60.
You may be thinking that I am full of it, you never see anything in the media on adverse events or vaccine problems.
That's because they don't print anything negative about vaccines. "To protect the vaccination program". As I said in the Introduction, goto YouTube and type in "Vaccine injured child".
Some people say "well wouldn't we have "sense" of something wrong if there were lots of adverse events"? I say no, and to prove it, see this link, says there is up to 23,000 deaths a year in Canada from preventable adverse events in acute hospital care alone, and 70,000 serious preventable injuries.
This says well over 200,000 deaths in the US from mistakes. Do you notice these deaths?
-While doing my research, I noticed that the media only reports favorable studies on vaccines. Here is an example: I saw this new 2018 study come out, done by the long respected Kaiser Permanente, that said, "the flu shot looses 16% effectiveness every 28 days". That's big news. Nothing in the mainstream media, not a peep. I have seen this scenario over and over. See this link for study.
Or see this link for another example of a 2018 study that should of made some news. Says children are more likely to get an acute respiratory illness if they get a flu shot.
Yet the media will print endless inane stories, telling you to get a flu shot.
This is why you think vaccines are great, the media only prints good things. You don't see those thousands of parents stories in the media about their "vaccine injured child". "Protect the vaccination program at all costs". Most anti-vaxers are parents with what they believe is a vaccine injured child.
Having said all the above, the majority of kids will get their shots with no obvious side effects. Serious events are not that common. But, it is the long term problems that are the real worry and are not obvious, Read through the links again on the 'Home' page, about the 50% of kids with chronic health problems and developmental disorders.(read link 71g below)
#56.-https://www.rd.com/health/wellness/h1n1-the-report-card/ Here is quote about 3 paragraphs from bottom, when Readers Digest asks US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebeliu, "What can be done about public mistrust of vaccines?" She say's Quote: "We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give the views of "these people" equal weight in their reporting.
#56a.-.http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf This is the list of ingredients for each US vaccine. It is hard to imagine, but we happily inject all this stuff into 2 month old infants.
-This is ingredients list for Canadian vaccines, Note they do not say how much aluminum or type, or mention WI-38 and MRC-5 cell lines. The US CDC is more honest than Canada.
-The first clue that vaccines can cause harm is that the US and many other modern countries, except Canada, have a Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, or VICP.(Quebec has a mickey mouse program) If there were no vaccine injuries, we would not need a VICP program.
This program was created in 1986 in the US, when vaccine makers threatened to stop making vaccines because they were getting sued so much, especially the old DTP vaccine was causing so much damage. So congress gave vaccine makers protection from being sued, and recognizing that vaccines do sometimes cause serious damage, they created the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, VICP and it is funded by a .70 cents surcharge on every vaccine sold.
The injuries listed in VICP are only a small portion of injuries. Even though the burden of proof is lower in this court, you still have to prove the vaccine caused the injury. Then they pay you, but, to "protect the vaccination program" and pharma, they never admit the vaccine caused the injury. They also pay for your lawyer. There are serious problems with this program, here, in is not doing what it is suppose to. This article and here, says in the last 15 years only 1 injury in 10 is paid out.
They only pay out for certain injuries. look at the "Injury Table" on VICP website here:
#57. https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/ , you will see vaccine injuries like, encephalitis(brain damage), chronic arthritis and death to name a few. The program has paid out over $4.2 Billion since 1988.
-This from Congress, shows that under the direction of HHS, they have approved changes that substantially restrict compensation coverage, this is in 1999. Program started in 1986. See page 2 near top. Page 3 explains how program started. Pages 5 and 6 explain IOM report and how poor vaccine safety science is.
-Another clue there are serious side effects. Canada has a special department to handle difficult vaccine adverse events, called SIC See here.
#58.http://www.mctlawyers.com/vaccine-injury/cases/ This is one of the law firms that does VICP work. This shows 6 deaths from GBS from the flu shot, and over 500 hundred serious vaccine injuries they got compensation for. This is just one of 140 law firms doing VICP work. Note that the DTaP vaccine has the most injuries after the flu shot. The flu shot is yearly so would have more. More here
#58a.http://www.vaccinerights.com/vaccineinjuryattorneys.html This lists 140 firms that do VICP work. Vaccine Injuries can't be that rare if there are 140 firms doing this work.
-The VICP program shows that for about every million people vaccinated, about 1 gets a injury compensation. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Many cannot pay, or willing to risk paying the $400 filing fee when you are not guaranteed a win. Many people do not know about VICP, many do not connect their kids loss of eye contact or autoimmune disease to the vaccine as it often happens days or weeks later, and their doctor always says " the vaccine could not have done that, its a coincidence."
It also takes an average of 2 to 5 years for a claim to get adjudicated.
-This Gov of Canada page on first page under abstract results says there is 1.1 SAE's per 100,000.
The Canadian Pediatric Society says "for every 80,000 children vaccinated there will be one permanently injury". Read last sentence in this article.
#59.http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/no-fault-compensation-urged-for-those-injured-by-vaccines/article622341/ 1 in 80,000 is not 1 in a million is it.
I believe this number is a large under estimate. Keep reading.
Most doctors are not aware of the injury rate from vaccines, they are just told vaccines are safe and the chance of injury is one in a million or less. Ask your doctor if you don't believe this.
Above article also mentions US VICP program and that in Canada you can sue, but you will never win. Also says, "that GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of the H1N1 vaccine, would not bring its product to market unless it was protected from potential lawsuits, a demand that was met by Canada".
-https://www.vaxxed.com/home/ Some call this an anti-vax site. But the fact is they drove around the US for a year and collected thousands of stories of vaccine injured children from the mothers who came forward. They are all here, see over 7000 sad stories here. The new movie Vaxxed ll "The peoples speak" just coming out.
-https://medscienceresearch.com/ This site has hundredes of studies showing vaccine problems.
#60.-http://gut.bmj.com/content/gutjnl/48/6/748.full.pdf Page1 right side, says mmr vaccine has 3.2 "serious" events per 100,000 and the majority are neurological or allergic. That's 1 in 30,000 for just one vaccine. This4371 study goes with this article.
-For people who say vaccines don't cause neurologic injuries, see this Health Canada link. See figure 2 shows 8% of serious adverse events are neurologic. (Remember the 95% under-reporting)
-This1383 study from Merck for new Hep A vaccine says there is .1% had a Serious Adverse event, that is 1 in a 1000 for kids 12 to 23 months old.
-https://ecf.cofc.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2013vv0611-73-0 On page 55 near bottom of conclusion, this says "I have concluded, after review of the evidence, that it is more likely than not that the vaccines played a substantial causal role in the death of J.B. without the effect of which he would not have died. The role of inflammatory cytokines as neuro-modulators in the infant medulla has been well described and is likely the reason for a significant number of SIDS deaths occurring in conjunction with mild infection". 2017 court VICP court case. Page 2 says infant got DTaP, polio, rotavirus and pcv vaccines and that the vaccines substantially contributed to kids death. SIDS
This says about 1 in 2000 infants die of SIDS in Canada, there is 380,000 births so about 190 SIDS cases a year. How many are caused by multiple vaccines in one visit. More SIDS info here as well.
-Read this older 2003 article from the Guardian in Britain. This article is more forthcoming than you see in our media today. Read about all the serious side effects reported on the MMR and DTP and Hib vaccines. This also confirms what I have said, 4th paragraph from bottom. Quote: "that doctors are told vaccines don't cause problems". Story after story of child going in for his vaccines and gets seizures and doctor saying "cant be the vaccine", even though these side effects are listed on the package insert.
#61a.https://www.theguardian.com/society/2003/aug/13/familyandrelationships.medicineandhealth We need medical schools to start teaching doctors that vaccines can cause serious side effects, and it is not one in a million. The mother gets no help from the system.
You can see why article like the above, are not printed in our media today. It would seriously handi-cap the vaccination program. But if we hide everything, how will we fix it??
-Here is a short YouTube video of an infant getting 3 injections of his 6 or 7 vaccines. He just got injected with, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol, vero cells, Polysorbat 80 and more. I cringe when I watch this. They say, environmental reasons are why 50% of our kids now have at least 1 chronic disease. Is this the most drastic environmental thing your kid encounters in his first two years? These 3 shots should be spread over 3 months minimum and even better, delay 2 of them a year or more.(Tab N)
-This website has many links to vaccine safety problem studies.
NEXT I SHOW A FEW MMR VACCINE ISSUES
The MMR vaccine is the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine
Link #61b, shows what can happen if you get measles, and the rest of the links show problems with the vaccine. The vaccine is important, but if we delay it a couple of years, it is much safer for the child.
This link shows the risk if you actually get measles.
#61b. http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/measles Click on complications tab. Says for every child who gets measles, 1 in 10 will have ear infections or pneumonia, and 1 in 1000 cases will get measles encephalitis or brain damage, and 1 in 3000 cases will result in death. Is this data accurate today? or is this old data from the 1930's?? This says the case fatality rate in the UK is 1 in 2500 to 5000, and Canada had 5 deaths out of 10,000 cases.(Did they count all cases?)
Do these events happen more often than side effects from the vaccine? Do we need the vaccine? Now that the disease is under control, can we mitigate the side effects of the vaccine.(see section I below) Like delaying certain vaccines and getting them one at a time.
Don't let the fear mongers get to you, there is a few hundred measles cases a year in the US, usually confined to an area, that is nothing in a country of 300 million. About 20% of the people who get measles are vaccinated as well. Do you personally know anyone who got measles? Did anyone die in the Disney land measles outbreak? No. It is safe to delay this vaccine a year. If there is a rare outbreak in your area, then maybe don't.
-This shows history of measles in Canada, outbreaks and 1 to 2 doses.
-This shows how Health Canada mis-represents data. This public page only tells us measles deaths in the worst year of the century in 1920's, does not say deaths had dropped dramatically as time went by.
-This and this, show that almost half the people who got measles in B.C. in 2019 where fully vaccinated.
-This shows that in 2015 almost half the 11 measles cases were vaccinated. Is everyone that got exposed to the person with measles getting measles, vaccinated or not? Half of them?
And this CTV news story shows that in 2011, 52 out of the 98 measles cases were fully vaccinated. Also says the vaccine may be more effective if first shot delayed to 15 months from 12 months.(Europe does). And there silly reasoning they dont, is that the child might travel. Canadian study below shows it is also much safer to delay vaccine 3 to 6 months. They are stuck on the one size fits all schedule.
-This 2019 study says 54% of those who got measles were vaccinated in China. This study says China still gets large measles outbreaks in-spite of over 95% vaccine coverage.(2nd and 3rd paragraphs)
-This7117 shows measles antibody decline anywhere form 3% a year to 10% a year after 2nd dose of vaccine, and this8890 shows how antibodies rapidly decline after 2nd measles dose, see Figure 3 and writeup above it. These links show why we are getting so many measles outbreaks now.
This8551 also says vaccine waning rapidly. This study 2017,under introduction says vaccine waning.
-This Science article, shows a fully vaccinated person got measles and then spread it to others.
-This0522 new study says of 2000 kids tested, 15% showed no protective antibodies for measles. Also said those kids who got the vaccine later than 15 months old did better. Canada should not be giving vaccine to 12 month old kids, also not as safe.
-This9920 and this8738 and this from the FDA show getting a 3rd dose of mmr is pointless and wears off within a year and FDA link says initial mumps vaccine wears off by college years.
-This goofy 2019 CBS news article, shows many vaccinated kids are getting mumps now. Says "doctors now know the MMR vaccine can Wear off". Says 8 kids in one school got mumps and 170 kids in another school, and they are all mostly vaccinated. Then they say booster shots may be needed, which ignores the 3 links I just showed above this that more boosters don't work.
-This link from UNICEF is amazing, page 8 says that giving kids with measles hi-dose vitamin A reduces measles deaths and complications buy 66%, that is huge. They say they are working with the WHO to deliver Vit A to those who need it.
-https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES2013.18.49.20649 This is Canada shows a number of people got vaccine associated measles. Also mentions a case of transmission where someone with vaccine ass measles gave measles to some one else, and says could have happened more than once.
These links show the risk of the measles MMR vaccine.
-I was blown away reading the links below. You see over and over, "the science is inadequate", Limited data exists, mmr is understudied.(Links 64,64a,70,70e) We have been giving this vaccine to our infants since 1980. Note: before that it was the single measles vaccine, not mmr.
The next 3 studies below show there is high rates of serious adverse events from the MMR vaccine. Like 1 in 168, 1 in 50 for the next study and 1 in 64 for the 3rd study. Two are done by GSK.
#62.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0027897 This 2011 Canadian study, which 11 doctors signed, says "1 in 168 kids vaccinated at their 12 month doctor visit for the MMR vaccine will end up in the emergency room," one to two weeks after administration. Also says at there 18 month vaccination, 1 in 730 will visit emergency room. This shows the older they are the less adverse events there are, so good to delay this one.
This confirms the massive under-reporting of vaccine adverse event. You don't see all these reports in VAERS and CAEFISS the Canadian reporting system.
This is one reason doctors dont report adverse events, first sentence shows they are worried about medical liability if they report. Also shows there is legislation to protect and keep secret manufacture information, and quality improvement. CMPA is Canadian Medical Protective Association.
MMR is one vaccine I believe should be delayed 6 months or more, I said delayed, not skipped. It is highly unlikely your kid will get measles if you wait another year. Even if he did, it is still only a chance in a 1000 of something serious happening. Everybody over 60 has had the measles including me. Most of Europe does not give the mmr until 18 months.
All choices have risk. See next link below which backs this one up.
#62a.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22622699 This US study which 15 doctors signed, backs up link #62 above. Last sentence under 'Results', Says, "the number of subjects experiencing at least one "serious" adverse event was 2 to 2.9%. That's 2 to 2.9 people out of a 100.
Remember that a "serious adverse event", is defined as a life threatening event or one that requires hospitalization, significant disability, or death. This is same study, but shows was sponsored by GSK
This new 2019 study done by GSK compares it's new MMR vaccine to a old Merck MMR vaccine rather than a placebo. See the Supplemental table 6 for the scary data, it has been hidden from the body of the study. Shows that out of 5000 kids in the study, 225 grade 3 adverse events and 77 serious adverse events, that is 1 in 64, which backs up the two above studies. (NOCD=New Onset Chronic Disease) 3.4% got NOCD after either vaccine. Look under "Methods" and study design, you see they exclude any kid you has had a reaction to a vaccine in the past, so study only has perfect kids, then once approved, vaccine is given to everyone. Is a GSK study.
-This Study was looking at measles genotyping but let the cat out of the bag. Read "Introduction" says " During the measles outbreak in California in 2015, a large number of suspected cases occurred in recent vaccinees. Of the 194 measles virus sequences obtained in the United States in 2015, 73 were identified as vaccine sequences". Also says "Since approximately 5% of recipients of measles virus-containing vaccine experience rash and fever which may be indistinguishable from measles". In California's case in was much more than 5%.
#63.http://adc.bmj.com/content/84/3/227.short This says MMR vaccine causes ITP in 1 in every 22,300 doses, most cases occurring in the 6 week post-immunization period. (6 weeks to show up so do they blame it on something else? And how much under-reporting is there? Idiopathic or Immune Thrombocytopenic Purport (ITP)
-There are still doctors out there that say "vaccines don't cause autoimmune diseases". ITP is an autoimmune disease, and GBS is an autoimmune disease, both "serious adverse" events.
This says ITP is an autoimmune disease.
#63a.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_thrombocytopenic_purpura Says ITP is an auto-immune disease and a blood disorder causing excess of bleeding and more.
Again we see that serious adverse events are not "one in a million".
#63b. This study in the Lancet says there is 3 times more risk of Crohn's disease if get the mmr vaccine.
#63c. This says a side effect of MMR vaccine is swollen lymph nodes.(near bottom) And here, says enlarfged lymph nodes after vaccination.
#64.https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/60/10/e58/338042 This 2015 study says "Limited data exists on the safety of the MMR vaccine in adults. They say MMR safety is understudied. This is 2013 and the mmr it is still Understudied!! This statement backs up anti-vaxers who say the safety science behind vaccines is poor.(IOM report on Home page says the same)
Says saw 167 serious events in "adults" and 7 deaths. Remember there is 99% under-reporting to VAERS. Looks like mmr vaccine is much safer in adults.
Also this study saw 246 cases of Lymphadenopathy, which is a disease affecting the Lymph nodes. Which can lead to cancer per Wikipedia. Then says all is good we are only seeing the same number of adverse events we always see.
-#64a. This from the Cochrane Collaboration says "The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre‐ and post‐marketing, are largely inadequate". So much for the media who always say there is tons of science saying how safe vaccines are.
#64b. This from the FDA in 2018, is about live vaccines like mumps vaccine. Says "Problems with vaccine safety can be linked to an inadequate understanding of the infection process." Then says "Multiple independently performed outbreak investigations found that between 70% and 99% of mumps cases had received the recommended 2 doses of mumps-containing vaccine, indicating lower vaccine efficacy than previously estimated.
#64c. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12922131 This from European vaccine safety surveillance says "the design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies are largely inadequate". Then mentions some of the serious problems you can get, ones already described above.
#65.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9481001 MMR causes brain injury and death. These injuries were in kids between ages 10 and 49 months. Under "Alternate Vaccine Schedules" Tab N, I discuss delaying this vaccine 2 years.
#66.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2944153/ First sentence of this study says MMR vaccine is known to cause serious adverse events, such as fever, rash, gland inflammation and neurologic disorders. More here.
#67.http://gut.bmj.com/content/gutjnl/48/6/748.full.pdf Page1 right side, says mmr vaccine has 3.2 "serious" events per 100,000 and majority are neurological or allergic. That's 1 in 30,000.
#67a. https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/69/1/153.full.pdf This says the mmr vaccine can cause hearing loss, gives 6 examples here(was urabe strain)
This article also say 2 children were made deaf by mmr vaccine. NOTE: Also see my lawyer link of 500plus injuries, page 3 has a case of MMR causing deaf or hearing loss.
-#67b. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/569784?fbclid=IwAR0i8mo3cCRZLcNcax-n8OwihJwC3dqJGPjRLyz14Jyxp_LjXKU2L1h5dqw Measles vaccine may not last as long as they thought. Titers start to decline after 10 years. Now that the population is dying off that gave us wild measles boosting, we see vaccine may not last that long. But this study is vague and sounds like the science is still undecided.
This study8893, last sentence, says " The number of people with only vaccine-induced immunity(measles) and waning antibody concentrations as well as waning avidity is increasing. This is why we are likely to see, perhaps in the near future, an increase in the number of twice-vaccinated individuals infected with measles and mumps due to secondary vaccine failure, even in countries with very high vaccination coverage".
This study5323, says we need a new measles vaccine, we are getting more fully vaccinated people getting measles.
This article says the mumps vaccine is waning is why more outbreaks. Says 25% lose protection after 8 years and 50% after 19 years.
This 2019 Canadian study published in Pediatrics and Child Heatlh showed under Results, that there is One Serious adverse event per 100,000. Note that there is 140,000 births a year in Ontario and this study was for 5 years, so 700,000 births times 2 shots of mmr is 1400,000 and divide by 22 is one serious adverse event in 63,000. Not 1 in a million. And this study says it defines a SAE as a event that results in in-patient hospitalization or death. Says under Conclusion "Our assessment found a low reporting rate of adverse events following MMR and MMRV vaccines in Ontario".
This study, "A total of 48 children, ages 10 to 49 months, met the inclusion criteria after receiving measles vaccine, alone or in combination. Eight children died, and the remainder had mental regression and retardation, chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits, and movement disorders".
Then says "Conclusions. This clustering suggests that a causal relationship between measles vaccine and encephalopathy may exist as a rare complication of measles immunization". (1998 study)
-FEBRILE SEIZURES
Our medical system says they are safe, dont worry. That is not true. Here is the science.
This study says "children with epilepsy and febrile seizures—with and without concomitant epilepsy—are at increased risk of developing a broad range of psychiatric disorders in later life."
This1680 Says patients with febrile seizurs are at increased risk of sudden death, SUDS. And this0211, and this0178 all say a kid has serious problems down the road if have seizures.
These next studies show that vaccines do cause febrile seizures. This study says 15 seizures per 585,000 or 1 in 39,000. This6926 study says from 12 to 44 in a 100,000 for a flu shot, how many depended if given with the PCV13 vaccine or not.
This9117 study from JAMA 2004, says 1.5 seizures per 1000 kids. And 19 per 1000 for kids with a history.
This3007 2001 study says 6 to 9 seizures per 100k for DTP and 25 to 34 per 100k for MMR. MMR seizures are usually 8 to 14 days after the shot and for the DTP they happen the same day. 30 per 100k is 1 in 3,300.
This Pediatrics 2010 study says risk of seizures is 4.3 per 10k dose for MMR and MMRV has more.
-This is package insert for ProQuad MMRV vaccine. Page 5 shows has much more side effects than just the MMR vaccine. 3% get a measles like rash, 21% get serious fever. The post marketing list is terrifying on page 12. Page 14 says febrile seizure rate fo 1.4 per 1000 with this vaccine. Says seizure rate much higher with proquad than MMRll.
#68.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR6NEv6yCEg This is "Brady Bunch" measles video. This is before we were made afraid of measles. Have a laugh. MoreTV shows here.
#69.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine Go to "Safety" heading, is an eye opener. Says "10% of kids develop fever, malaise, and a rash 5 to 21 days after first MMR shot and 3% develop "joint pain" lasting 18 days on average. Older women appear to be more at risk for acute arthritis, and even, rarely, chronic arthritis". Note that "chronic arthritis" is on the VICP injury table for the mmr in the US.
Also says "the measles component of the MMR can cause measles inclusion body encephalitis in immunocompromised people".
Says in 2014 Merck added several more adverse events to the Package Insert. "Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis(ADEM) and transverse myelitis and also got permission to add "difficulty walking".
Also says "between 1 in 25,000 and 1 in 40,000 kids get ITP(immune thrombocytopenia purpura) after a MMR shot."
Transverse Myelitis, a neurological disorder, is a inflammation of the spinal cord. You can have numbness, tingling, weakness of arms or legs, dragging a foot, or even total paralysis. Can be confused with polio.
So why would Merck be so diligent and add this to package insert? Because then they can not be sued, the VICP act, mentioned earlier, protects them.
-Here is a good article on measles and measles vaccine, what would happen if we had no vaccine? This is written by a blogger, but I believe the information is good. Has supporting links.
-All the above shows vaccines are somewhat safe. 1 in 25,000 etc, does not sound like a lot. Remember that's for one vaccine and by itself. Do you double the risk if get two vaccines, or three at the same time? The child schedule for a 2 month old gets 4 to 5 shots of 6 vaccines, depending. Plus the oral rotavirus vaccine.
Remember these are the short term problems. This does not take into account long term chronic conditions mentioned on the Home page of this site, or the problems mentioned below.
A PEEK AT LONG TERM ISSUES WITH MMR AND OTHER VACCINES.
#70.https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/scienceresearch/biologicsresearchareas/ucm127315.htm Read this 2017 article from the FDA. Quote: "The present lack of knowledge in areas of mumps vaccine safety and efficacy is highlighted by the licensure of some mumps vaccines that have caused Aseptic Meningitis". Quote: "Problems with vaccine safety can be linked to an inadequate understanding of the infectious process". Article says over and over how little they understand of how the live virus vaccine like mumps in the MMR works.
The current mumps vaccine barely works, we are getting many mumps outbreaks in the fully vaccinated. The article also says "new live mumps vaccines are coming and they do not know how to test if there safe and effective". Does this sound like vaccine science is settled?
-Is this vaccine causing long-term problems that are not tracked? See next links.
Another concern now with the MMR vaccine is that it's a live vaccine with human DNA in it and the new science coming out is disturbing. This vaccine uses WI-38 and MRC-5 cell lines with human DNA(from lung tissue of aborted fetus) and this may be causing leukaemia or other cancers down the road.
Note: see CDC "Vaccine Ingredients list above, Link # 56a.(Google Wiki MRC-5 cell line)
#71.https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/scienceresearch/biologicsresearchareas/ucm127327.htm
Start of 3rd paragraph here says "In some cases these cell lines might be tumorigenic, that is they form tumors when injected in rodents. Further down says "they are evaluating the risk of retro-viruses in humans. You also realize reading this, they are not sure what they are doing, and this is 2017. The MMR is a "live" vaccine.
#71a.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1045105607001042 Says "whether DNA in vaccines causes tumours in humans has been discussed for 50 years without resolution".
See Appendix. for much more on this. There are huge forces at play here behind the scenes.
#71c. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28483543 This 2017 study Under Results, says vaccination can significantly increase risk of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
#71d.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1005209/pdf/annrheumd00487-0005.pdf This study back in 1993 says while there is a number of triggers for Rheumatoid Arthritis, vaccination is one of them. Second page says the Rubella vaccine has the most convincing evidence that it causes RA.
#71e.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5607155/ This 2017 study done by 3 doctors including well respected Dr. Beniamino Palmieri needs, to be read completely as there is a lot here. Vaccination and autoimmune disease, says certain people are more susceptible. Also says type 1 diabetes was more common in kids who got all 4 doses of the Hib vaccine at 3,4,6, and 14 months of age than those who got 1 dose at 14 months of age. (type one diabetes is an auto-immune disease)
This also talks about controversies between different studies, who do you believe, which is tobacco science that industry is pushing. Talks about problems with the flu shot. Then goes on about many problems in the HPV vaccine.
Read the Discussion section about vaccines and autoimmunity.
Tables 5 to 9 show an assessment of 5 vaccines and once again, like the IOM reports, show how bad our science is regarding vaccines causing serious disease. There are no good studies.
-This9101 also suggest vaccines may introduce type 1 diabetes. This MMR package insert on page six shows diabetes is a possible side effect.
#71f.https://www.nature.com/articles/nrrheum.2009.196 Vaccines and autoimmunity. Says can take days or years for autoimmune problems to show up after vaccination and can rarely be severe or even cause death.
-https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/conditions/autoimmune/index.cfm This explains what autoimmune diseases are, and says there are about 80 different types. See here for them.
#71g. http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyt.2017.00003/full See Results, This new 2017 study shows vaccination may sometimes be related to neuropsychiatric disorders in certain individuals.
Then read the "discussion" section. Says: The principal findings of this study are as follows: (i) children with OCD, AN, anxiety disorder, and tic disorder were more likely to have received influenza vaccine during the preceding 1-year period. Then goes on about similar problems with some other vaccines.
#71h.https://www.jwatch.org/na48115/2018/12/17/treated-infections-tied-later-risk-mental-disorders This new 2018 study Says "Beyond the direct impact of pathogens to the brain, other possible mechanisms include immune activation and adverse effects of inflammation, can cause mental disorders. This is what vaccination does.(is it causing developmental disorders) And says "Severe infections have been linked to elevated risks for mental disorders." (Severe fever would also do this, fever is often caused by vaccination)
#72..https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20193633 Says evidence for the associate of vaccinations and many autoimmune diseases is presented in this review.
#72a. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25427994/?fbclid=IwAR3tiVi2MtV1UA1YXEN8ovZrmQodgi_l3FzMq8bi9GC1rHBV2l4NUaUdWDA This suggests that the Hep B vaccine and immunization may cause Chronic fatigue syndrome and firbro myalsia.
#73.https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vitor_Pordeus/publication/5551013_The_mosaic_of_autoimmunity_Hormonal_and_environmental_factors_involved_in_autoimmune_diseases_-_2008/links/0a85e5380a3b19e7d1000000/The-mosaic-of-autoimmunity-Hormonal-and-environmental-factors-involved-in-autoimmune-diseases-2008.pdf See page 11. Good write up on vaccination and autoimmune diseases. Note, twenty PHD's and Medical Doctors signed off on this article.
-#73b. This 2018 study shows vaccination causing Tranverse Myelitis, mainly Hep B vaccine.
-This study1088 shows it can take up to 5 years for autoimmune problems to show up after vaccination.
VACCINATING YOUR PETS.
-http://www.coastalpoint.com/47730/feature/maggie-s-vaccine-protection-act-passed-legislature
This 2020article says Bill 214 in Delaware passed allowing vets to do a titer test for cats and dogs, if they pass, the pet does not need to be vaccinated. The mans dog died from "over vaccination".
-This is or this is the official legislation for the above Bill. Note they call it "Maggies vaccine protection act" A Shih Tzu dog like the one that died above is about 13 lbs and a 2 month old baby is about 11lbs.
#74-https://fox45now.com/news/local/fox-45-investigates-nationwide-claims-that-pets-are-dying-from-vaccinations?fbclid=IwAR2suL_P-GkA-U7TJAS38oP26tOodf5TH9g62UbYkpY7eJmCeH6BS8vi7ZM Pets and dogs are dying from vaccinations. FOX45 investigates dogs dying. Says big or small dog gets same amount of vaccine. If dogs die, what about your infant baby?
This link is an eyeopener. Scroll down this to link title "For core vaccines why not just revaccinate every year"
This says about giving your pet extra vaccines. "some of which can be severe, or even fatal. Clinical signs vary and can include minor adverse reactions such as fatigue and can range up to severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock, immune-mediated damage of blood and other tissues/organs, seizures and even death." This is what can happen to humans as well.
I have mostly shown problems with the MMR vaccine, all the other vaccines have their issues as well. But you get the idea, If this gets too long, no one will read it, you can research the others yourself and see the Appendix for much more and the DTaP vaccine section, perhaps the most dangerous vaccine.
#75-https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/tools/parents-guide/parents-guide-part4.html Here is what the CDC says on the page for the public on vaccines and long term problems. It is quite funny. They have obviously not looked at their own governments VICP injury table that lists some long term injuries like chronic arthritis, encephalitis, GBS, and encephalopathy to name a few. Have they not seen all the studies above?
This whole section is a complete white-wash and typical CDC.
This page also says, it is not practical to do long term studies. That's ridiculous, they could have had a on-going study for the last 30 years. It won't have a control group, but you would still have much good data.
Then it talks about the aluminum in vaccines. Go see my Appendix A for much more on aluminum.
First, they say the average person(not infant) gets 30 to 50mg of aluminum in there diet. I can not find that anywhere. All sources I found said the average person get 7 to 10mg per day. So they are exaggerating 3 to 5 times. Look here, they ignored their own website.
#75a.https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=1076&tid=34 At section 1.3 says the average person ingests 7 to 9 mg of aluminum per day. And section 1.4 says most of the aluminum you ingest leaves your body in feces.
#76.-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12089908 this says the average amount of aluminum ingested for a person is 10mg per day.
Second point. Notice they never talked about "injected" Aluminium. Injected aluminum is far more dangerous than ingested aluminum. Almost all of ingested aluminum is eliminated, but all of injected aluminum stays in your body, and has been shown to cross the BBB.(Appendix aluminum section)
Here is their next fib. The above CDC public page says the kid gets only .125 to .625mg of aluminum. I guess they have not looked at their own package inserts. They also dont say that these shots are repeated every few months as boosters, so it accumulates.
#76a-https://www.fda.gov/downloads/biologicsbloodvaccines/vaccines/approvedproducts/ucm109810.pdf This says the Pentacel vaccine commonly given to infants has 1.5mg of aluminum phosphate(.33mg aluminum), more than twice what they say. And the kid also gets a Hep B booster at two months in the US so that is another .250mg of aluminum one shot in each leg, one after the other.
#76b.-https://www.fda.gov/downloads/biologicsbloodvaccines/vaccines/approvedproducts/ucm224503.pdf Shows childs hep B shot has .250mg of aluminum as aluminum hydroxide on day of birth in US.
Notice that the Pentacel uses aluminum phosphate and the Hep B aluminum hydroxide. These both work different in the body, very complex, see appendix.
The important thing here is that this aluminum is going into a 2 month old infant, not adults. Many can handle this, but some cant. And it is accumulative, every few months they get more injections.
-As you go thru the list of links showing the many serious adverse events on the MMR vaccine you see it is hard go get a exact figure on how many events there are. Links 62 and 62a alone, show the rate could be 1 in 50 to 1 in a 170 for serious adverse events.
We need a better vaccine, and maybe we should separate out the measles mumps and rubella like they use to be. And delay this vaccine a year or two.
-https://www.oatext.com/Pilot-comparative-study-on-the-health-of-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-6-to-12-year-old-U-S-children.php This is the Mawson study comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated kids, unvaccinated are much healthier, though did get some of the diseases.
This is another Vaccinated versus unvaccinated study, 2020 Dr. Paul Thomas.
Our large vaccine makers have been opening vaccine manufacturing plants in emerging 3rd world countries the last few years. This is worrisome. Read through Appendix, section on vaccine contaminants, and you will see how incredibly complex vaccine manufacturing is. I do not want a vaccine from these countries, where inspection officials can be bought off. See Links below.
-https://www.livemint.com/Companies/pN1cPv5Hc3fI4GsTUJkiPK/Topselling-vaccine-made-cheap-shows-challenge-to-Merck.html Asia's biggest vaccine maker in India is going to make competitor to the HPV vaccine for much lower price, and then license it in Europe, Canada next?? This also says that Gardasil that is sold in the US for $113 per dose is bought by Unicef for $4.50 a dose which is suppose to be the manufacturing cost of the vaccine for Merck.(good markup 4.50 to $113
-https://www.emdgroup.com/en/news/accelerate-global-access-to-affordable-vaccines-12-04-2018.html Merck is making a vaccine plant in Ghana Africa.
-https://www.outsourcing-pharma.com/Article/2013/01/29/GSK-Forms-Joint-Venture-in-India-to-Develop-New-Pediatric-Vaccine GSK is making a new Pediatric vaccine in India. Are they going to sell it here. Says is making a new 6 in 1 vaccine to get compliance up on vaccines and less injections.(I would not want anything made in India or China injected in me or my kid) This also says 4 previous vaccine makers were shut down due to problems.
-https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/projects/gsk-tablet-manufacturing-factory-karnataka/ This says GSK has 5 plants in India. Are they making our vaccines? Here corruption in India medical, see here as well.
-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208573/ China entering Global vaccine market, gearing up to supply the world with vaccines.
-https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05835-1 Multiple vaccine problems in China, faked production data etc. This also from South China Morning Post shows corrupt vaccine manufacturing practices. China seems much worse than india for corruption.
The old argument has always been: "the disease is much more dangerous than the vaccine". That was definitely true years ago. It is less true today, in first world countries, and it depends which vaccine we are talking about, as some of the newer vaccines I think they are more dangerous than the disease, the Men B Bexsero vaccine for one, and probably the HPV, and flu shot.
As I have said on this web site before, " I never say do not vaccinate." Though there are 3 or 4 of the 16 vaccines I suggest skipping. I just want you to see that vaccines are not "innocent". Every vaccine given to your kid should be considered carefully. Vaccines should be got one at a time and delay the ones that are safe to delay, like the polio, though hard to do with combo vaccines.(Tab N, Alternate vaccine schedules)
The purpose of all this is to get you "thinking".
We have to get vaccine safety studying separated from HC and the CDC and done independently. We need safer vaccines.
All the above shows the risk of a "serious" adverse event is anywhere from 1 in a 100 to 1 in 20,000. If this was 1910 you would take the risk for sure. This is 2018. The chance of getting an infectious disease today is much smaller, and the chance of dying from that disease is smaller still.
The chance of your kid getting measles in his first two years of life, is far less than 1 in a million. The risk of a serious adverse event from the vaccine is much higher. Wait until kid is two before giving the vaccine. Note, even if kid got measles, the chance of something serious happening is very small. You hear about small outbreaks of measles occasionally, but nobody is dying, we have 1 death a year in the US and virtually no cases of encephalitis from measles today, unlike in the 1950's, the vaccine gives more cases now, encephalitis is on the VICP vaccine injury table.
Half the vaccines we give to a kid under two can be skipped or delayed a year or two. See Tab N for Alternate Vaccine Schedules and info on each vaccine. The only vaccines I would consider giving to a kid under two is the Hib and the DTaP.
The goal today should be to give kids under age two, as few vaccines as possible. Under age two is also the most dangerous time for a infant to get a infectious disease, but the risk today is extremely small, except for pertussis and the Hib, only vaccines I would give to a infant. All choices have risk.
-This is 2004 IOM report on vaccine safety and autism. It can be downloaded free as a guest.
-https://www.nap.edu/download/10997# This is the 2004 IOM report on vaccines and autism. Page 31 says they only looked at mmr vaccine and thimerosal. See heading "Under Review" page 31. Page 32 says the 2001 IOM report concluded that the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between thimerosal from vaccines and NDD's and autism, and ADHD. This was based on the fact there was no published studies.(No studies!!!) Then says there was two unpublished studies that did show a weak connection, they ignored those. Page 65 as well same, and page 5.
page 40 no evidence to acceptt or reject if mmr causes encephalopathy.
All the problems below, IOM report says "evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship".
Page 167 says same, this now 2004 report thimerosal may or may not cause autism and ADHD.
page 169 says multiple immunizations may or may not cause allergies and asthma.
page 172 shows Hep B vaccine may cause many problems like central nervous system disorders.
page 174 says SV40 may or may not cause cancer!!(See appendix A on this)
page 176 says DTaP and DTwP may or may not cause SIDS. Then says Hib, HepB, OPV and IPV may or many not cause SIDS.
Page 178 says flu shot may or may not cause GBS, MS and other neurological diseases.
Anyone who says vaccines have no risk, is living in the fantasy world created by HC and the CDC thru the media.
After reading all the above, you can understand why the CDC and media do not report any of this. People would be frightened of vaccines. I know I am now. But at some point we need to have honest re-hash of the kids vaccine schedule. The world has changed.
-Next, goto Tab O, DTap vaccine for more on vaccine problems. Then Appendix Tab for much more.
-Here are is more data on vaccine problems. This is a confidential GSK document on the Infranix Hexa vaccine. Shows many serious problems covered up, including autism and sids.
-This article say a new report from the CDC says "The number of American children with developmental disabilities "increased significantly" in recent years". And says 1 in 6 kids now have at least one developmental disability. Too many vaccines?
-This study says "All vaccines can cause neuroinflammation"
-This study is about Vaccine-associated inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system.
-This4081 is about spectrum of post-vaccination inflammatory CNS demyelinating syndromes.
-This says women have more reactions to vaccines and more side effects and autoimmunity from vaccines.
-This0178 study from the CDC is a study of the most common reasons Emergency room visits in 2013 for adverse events from drugs, and vaccines are included. See "Table 1" says there was 912 ER visits for Vaccination reactions. Table 2 says there was 916 ER visits for adverse events. Table 3 says there was 58 ER visits for the Influenza vaccine. Table 4 shows there was 455 ER visits from vaccine reactions for kids under 5 years old, and much less reactions for older people.
-This is Paul Offits Childrens hospital of Phiidalphia website where they put all the few vaccine safety studies to fool doctors. This is very limited, only shows favourable studies, example the aluminum sections has only 2 studies, the goofy Mitkus study and the industry funded Kowroski study.
-This 2020 MPRV study is worrisome, done by Corvela, some call them anti-vax. Dont know how good this is. Lots of links at bottom.
-This 2019 study shows vaccination may be linked to SIDS.
-Here are several studies that show vaccination can cause Kawasaki disease which is a vascilitus. Here8465 and here and here2009 and
-This 2020 vaccinated versus unvaccinated study is interesting, shows the unvaccinated have less health issues. They used data from 3 medical practices. Unfortunately the two authors are considered anti-vaxers by mainstream, so study will be ignored. I do not know if it is a good study, I suspect it is good. I dont think these two people deliberately mis-lead.
-This3770 says "Abnormal elevation of CRP level occurred in 85% of infants administered multiple vaccines and up to 70% of those given a single vaccine. Overall, 16% of infants had vaccine-associated cardiorespiratory events within 48 hours postimmunization. In logistic regression analysis, abnormal CRP values were associated with multiple vaccines (OR, 15.77; 95% CI 5.10-48.77) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (OR, 2.28; 95% CI 1.02-5.13). Cardiorespiratory events were associated marginally with receipt of multiple injections (OR, 3.62; 95% CI 0.99-13.25) and significantly with gastroesophageal reflux".
So why would you give a pre-term or premature infant multiple vaccines??? Is there fault in doctors training, they seem to think we will all die if we dont instantly get all our vaccines.
-This5623 says some people got "Vaccine associated Rubella" from the MMR vaccine.
-This says polysorbat 80 is dangerous. This says Neomycin is neurotoxic even at recomendexd doses, is dangerous.
-This9285 says Hep B vaccine leads to loss of mitochondrial integrity and cell death in mice.
-This study says Hep B vaccine can cause type 1 diabetes.
-This from a FOIA request by ICAN, The CDC admits there are no Vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies. This is another FOIA From ICAN, The CDC admits there are no safety studies on injecting Aluminum adjuvants into children.

For travelers seeking an otherworldly experience, the allegedly haunted Isola Bisentina, said to host spirits, demons, and other monstrous creatures, may transport you to another realm. The island is in the middle of Lago di Bolsena, a crater lake located in the province of Viterbo about 81 miles north of Rome.
The island was inhabited during ancient Etruscan and Roman times, and was home to several religious monuments and a prison for those convicted of heresy. Though Franciscan clergy, Prince Don Giovanni del Drago, and others once lived on the island, it is currently uninhabited – or is it? According to Guidotti, the prince's soul still lives there, along with ghosts of other former residents.
"The local fisherman also used to say that they had seen the devil in this lake," tour guide Maria Guidotti told AOL.
Legend has it that a tunnel on the island leads to the fabled city of Agartha, located in the Earth's core.
"[The island] was a place of punishment. All those against the church were imprisoned here. Some believe [the tunnel is] the passage to a better world," says Guidotti, who first visited the island at age six and has been taken with it ever since.
"The island has been a big part of my life. It really entered into my spirit," she says.
The late Prince del Drago, who came from a noble aristocratic family, was the mayor of Bolsena in the 1970s and the owner of Isola Bisentina. After World War II, the island was deserted and its castle fell into disrepair, but Prince del Drago restored the island, which had previously been owned by his ancestors, and opened it to visitors, hosting concerts and other events there. Under his tutelage, Guidotti learned all of the island's dark secrets and is now the only tour guide who visits the island.

"Don't marginalise Sri Lanka": Nasheed to Human Rights Council
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has submitted a report documenting alleged war crimes in the closing days of the Sri Lankan Civil War to the UN Human Rights Council.
The report accuses the Sri Lankan military of killing tens of thousands of civilians through shelling in the closing days of its war with Tamil separatists, and increases the likelihood that the Human Rights Council may be called on to vote for a full international, independent investigation.
Sri Lanka has meanwhile rejected the report's findings and stated that it opposes an outside investigation. Instead, the government has appointed its own 'Learnt and Reconciliation Commission' (LLRC), which is expected to publish its findings on November 15.
Central to the UN's case is graphic footage of the execution of bound and gagged prisoners, which the UN's Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, Christof Heyns, described as reflecting "crimes of the highest order — definitive war crimes."
Heyns analysed the video in consultation with a forensic pathologist, firearms expert and two forensic video analysts, and concluded that the footage was authentic, however the Sri Lankan government has maintained that the video is fake.
It has also stated that civilian casualties were unavoidable during the final offensive, due to the Tamil Tigers' use of 300,000 people as human shields.
As an outspoken member of the UN Human Rights Council and a vocal proponent of intervention during the Libyan uprising – and also Sri Lanka's neighbour – the situation is likely to challenge the Maldives diplomatically.
Yesterday, as the international community was ratcheting up the pressure on Sri Lanka, President Mohamed Nasheed called for an "amicable solution".
"As long as we argue about Sri Lanka, the government is increasingly marginalised and we are losing the government and the country outside the fold of the international community," Nasheed warned.
"We must understand that a number of very, very bad things happened but we must be able to move forward," he said.
Current Maldivian Foreign Minister Ahmed Naseem has previously described the UN report as "singularly counterproductive", while during a recent interview with Minivan News, former Foreign Minister Dr Ahmed Shaheed said he felt the government's position on Sri Lanka "has been misunderstood", particularly its comparison with the government's stance on Libya.
"But I think Naseem's comments and the government's position on Sri Lanka have been misunderstood. The Libyan situation is different from the current situation in Sri Lanka. Libya is ongoing – things are happening today on the ground, and we need to try to prevent further abuses tomorrow," he said at the time.
"In Sri Lanka's case these are post-conflict issues. What we say is that the most important thing in a post-conflict situation is to find a way forward and not live in the past. This does not mean we are condoning abuses, or saying such things are fine. But Sri Lanka needs to find common ground with the UN Human Rights Council in which both parties can move forward. The government of Sri Lanka needs to be able to enter into dialogue with the international community to achieve speedier reconciliation.
"You can't have reconciliation and long-lasting peace unless you respect human rights and set up mechanisms to do so. But we should steer clear of politicisation, or the divisions that have kept the flame of terrorism alive in Sri Lanka for so long. We are saying let Sri Lanka find a way forward and achieve reconciliation – we are not saying we don't care about the past," Dr Shaheed said.
China and Pakistan have also expressed support for Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile Mahinda Samarasinghe, Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa's special envoy on human rights, has called for the international community to wait for the findings of Sri Lanka's own commission in November.
"It is disconcerting to note the haste with which some have sought to usurp the government of Sri Lanka's prerogative in deciding its domestic process," Samarasinghe has previously told the Council.
"We firmly believe that our home-grown process is capable of addressing the nuances of our unique situation."
However several international human rights organisations, including International Crisis Group (ICG), Human Rights Watch (HRW), and Amnesty International (AI) have refused to appear before the LLRC claiming it fails to meet minimum international standards, noting that its members were appointed by the government, it had no mandate to investigate war crimes in the closing days of the conflict, and lacked any mechanism to protect witnesses.
"The LLRC's mandate, its composition, its procedures, and the human rights environment in which it is operating all conspire to make a safe and satisfactory outcome for victims of human rights violations and their families extremely unlikely," said Amnesty International's Deputy Director for the Asia-Pacific region, Madhu Malhotra, in October 2010.
"Amnesty International is particularly concerned about the lack of any provisions for witness protection and the fact that former officials who have publicly defended the Sri Lankan government against allegations of war crimes serve on the commission."

Reporting on HAVEERU is so poor that if you read the headline of the same news on Haveeru you'd think that the president condoned the acts of the Sri Lankan government.

What kind of human rights UN is talking. Is Ban Ki Moon is an agent of USA. Or does he not have better thing to do than finding faults with Sri Lanka. When Sri Lanka was a victim of a terrorist organization who was violating human rights for 30 years, UN was not there to help Sri Lanka to deal with human rights violation by terrorist actions. This Moon seems a small bullied kid who is trying to find faults with his classmates. Sri Lankan case is a history now where crimes against humanity was committed by both parties equally with different purpose, why this guy can't let them forget their bitter past and help them to reconcile for a better future. This Moo should concentrate on the human rights of all kind that is basically due to greenness of western countries who always believed to be supremacist and better human race and feed on the expenses of ignorant nations since the known history
Percvy de Silva says:
Western Countries are pressurising the small countries through UN. Bank Ki extended his period by helping the LTTE & western countries and these actions can be seen very clearly. Why should Robert Blake visit Sri Lanka. All these are the power of LTTE extortion funds and votes. They tap various countries through their money and wikkie leaks disclosed how they funded Viko and other politicians in Tamil Nadu. All what SL did was to protect the country and her people. Nothing would have happened if India did not train, fund and provided arms to tigers initially. What UN cannot see those actions of other neighbouring countries and if they looked after their territory this problem would not have happened. Where was UN when LTTE distroyed SL by bombing, land mines, suicide bombers, black tigers, sea tigers and placing bombs in public institutions and killing civilians. UN did not even mentioned anything. What a hipocrits. The majority of SL supports this government for rescuing the country and they fully support the LLRC to have investigation and try to correct themselves to abide by international standards in the future. At the same time which country is free of war crimes. Banki does not want to talk about Libya, Afganistan, Iraq but they are more involved with SL activities. China, Russia and other countries help SL because they understand the mentality of Europe and US. They have shit on their heads and they are more waorried about a little dirt of others. Therefore I agree UN should concentrate on the human rights of all kinds and all other countries specifically big countries.
hassan ahmed says:
Our talkative president is in real trouble! Well, let us see how good his diplomacy and politics are!
Defiantly he can't make unpleasant hash statements on Sri Lanka; they are our neighbor and traditional friend. On other hand president presented to be committed to universal human rights obligations.
The whole of SL protects the country because this govt: saved us. Where is the witness protection in Durham Report, Dic Cheney, Nixon and others openly admitted the warcrimes but what happened there UN did not pursue on a independant reconciliation but UN is more involved with photograph evidence rather than proper witnesses relation to the statements of Darusman report such as who says these and from where the information came from and there was no substantial evidence given in the report. Therefore Darusman report is rubbish and on that no body can come to a conclusion to have a international reconciliation. We are a soverign country wants to protect democracy and we are not a signatory to ICC and UN should shut aboutit once and for all.
In my view we all small nations should withdraw from UN membership. This useless organization has set up their offices in poor nations and creates problems in those countries to keep them employed. If no troubles in the world no use of them and all these otherwise will be unemployed mostly lazy westerners. They think we the small poor nations have no brains. It is time to go against this crazy organization that creates more problem than solving them to give oxygen to US foreign policy. Look at Libya, Iraq, all done under the umbrella of UN. All US policy was to humiliate Arabs, kill them by their own folks to revenge 9/11
karuna says:
Sri Lankas conflict revolves around impunity.Wrongdoers of past should be punished so that future Govt. would be accountable and reconciliation can be possible.
Amnesty International says "former officials who have publicly defended the Sri Lankan Govt..." are on the LLRS panel and therefore, the panel not acceptable (AI did not complain when US and UK Govts appointed their Govt officials to conduct allegations against their Govts). Amazingly, AI wants the International Community to accept the Dharusman report, when in fact at least Dharusman and one other mwmber on the Panel have publicly criticised the SriLankan Govt and supported the LTTE terrorist version, much before they were appointed to the so called "Panel of Experts" of UNSG. Further the third member on that Panel serves in an organisation funded by the US and EU which countries are spearheading the attack on StriLanka. Is not this hypocracy of the highest order on the part of AI, which itself is funded by US and EU Govts and individuals and most probably by the LTTE remnants, all of whom are anti SriLankan.
Demel says:
well if the government is not responsible for all these issues why the hell are they backward to face any legal actions?This shows proves that they have admitted all these allegations.Now all the responsible characters will have to face the Human laws.But if these people who killed innocent people,will have to pay back in next birth.They may cheat even the courts,but not Buddhism.
Ananda Seneviratne, Ph.D. says:
This Channel 4 video is not only fake BUT whatever the killings that were in the video are actually LTTE was killing either Sinhalese soldiers or killing Tamils who were against LTTE. This is what UN or any HR NGOs cannot prove or disapprove. These videos were provided by LTTE or pro-lTTE media so how in the world that UN can use these fake and false vidoe clips from a biased media to tell the world that "look Sri Lanka has killed 10, 000 Tamils"???????????????????????Based on this false infromation is it right UN to take any actions or even to waste the time to discuss this at UNHRC????
Rajapakse & family ....run.....possible asylum in China or Russia. You see, we Sinhalese are not smart like Tamils. They are closer to the west than us. Majority of them wanted Praba to go and get the Eelam through democratic way. I am very sure that they are establishing that. Indian, China & Russia will shit us very soon. Please take India out of your friendly countries. Tamil Nadu is like a "Piles trouble" to India.
Don't think aunty Sonia will come to your rescue, putting her party at great risk, because congress heavily depends on Tamil Nadu.
Already, west has declared a human rights war on Sri lanka. UN/UNHRC/Amnesty / International criminal court has already crucified you. Very soon ICC- international cricket council will pull the membership, and we will end up playing hide and seek with the Rajapakse family.
I had a please of speaking to many Tami diasporas across the globe, most of the academia/Dr/Lawyers/Student organizations /business community are doing mega campaign against the government. Not to mention, this has been their full time job (literarily) for the past two years.
They have very close relationships with many member states and government VVIP's, both in NA & Europe. West thinks wearing a hijab is a violation of human rights… so do we have a chance to prove we are innocent? I am talking to the more educated, common sensed Sinhalese, Do you think the way the present government taking affairs to the world community is great? Do you think it is a perfect democracy or perfect dictatorship? The country is right royally raped and bleeding blow the belt by this family of morons. I think we need a Srilankan spring!
anand says:
Sinhalese often cite example of western countries violating human rights but pick on SL only. For poor Tamils, no one come to the rescue except some people that have conscience such as leftist sinhalese, amnesty international, human rights organizations and to some extent ICG people. If these people are not there, existence of LTTE will remain justified. But for the help of US and India, SLA could not have beaten LTTE and now SL blame the same people that helped them.
tamil Raj says:
Maldivian President:
Piece of Shiit:
Official spokes person for the brothers. Remember, the govt gave some money to the Maldivian government last month, so now he has to speak for the govt.
Next, is Cuba and followed by Somalia(The super power).
The pin head says:
Why is UN, US after the Sri lankan government? As we all know that LTTE was responsible for killing heads of states and many politicians in Sri Lanka! Including Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi!! Why not after dictators in central asia thats where all human rights abuses has been going for past 20 years! . With lots of murdering and torture going on!! and guess what the uk and usa are supporting and selling armes to them!! even the british ambassador ( graig murray ) was woried about what was going on in one of the central asian countrys Uzbeck or kazak !! but he was told to shut up and got transferd to someware else. ( bunch of hypocrites in the name of rule of law and democracy ) .. http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/ http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=ZOTgwG6Wdnw
Eham says:
The best idea is to have an independent investigation headed by various countries against LTTE and The Srilankan Government to establish the war crimes and Human right violation. This will give the justice for both parties (Tamils and Sinhalese). Without independent investigation to find out what happened ,there will no peace will be established in Srilanka.
Nagen says:
What is Sri Lanka accused of;
•	Deliberate targeted bombing of hospitals after being notified of the hospital coordinates by the ICRC.
•	Declaring no fire zone and then bombing and shelling the area targeting civilians who sought refuge in those zones.
•	Killing unarmed civilians at close range
•	Killing surrendered enemy combatants
•	Rape of women and children
•	Concentration camps to hold civilians
•	Denying food and medicine to civilians
The UN experts found credible evidence of war crimes, and the interesting part is that the top Sri Lankan government ministers, including the president and the defence secretary have admitted all the above crimes on tape. For example, the defence secretary's interview to British Sky News, where he claimed that hospitals operating in enemy territory were legitimate targets. Likewise the Sri Lankan government has tried to justify all the crimes but when the international community refuse to accept the justification of the 'genocide' they started to deny their
Ziyan says:
Sri Lanka did its best to normalise relations with Tamil Tigers and bring peace to their country. But the latter always chose violence and terror. In the end the government had to bring an end to all the terror and has no other choice but to eliminate the tamil tigers by force. I think this war was actually justice and peace for sri lanka and its a shame that UN is now pointing fingers at sri lanka.
bogdon rupasenanaykka says:
I see the Tamil Eelam will be given to the Tamils on a platter by the West. Clearly, Tamils have captured the hearts of the West. Rember South Sudan.
It is already happening.
baduge says:
Why not start with US and its allies? They lied about WMD and Sadam Al Qaeda nexus and ruined Iraq with more than hundreds of thousands dead. How come these pots live at large calling kettles black?
UN and international Human right organizations become useless today, since they act very bias manner. People around the world loose their confidence on these so called organizations , because their unpredictable and non transparent nature. Root cause for this this downfall of peoples confidence on these organizations is that it employees the corrupted officials as their representatives( E.g. Navi pillay , Ban ki moon, Kopi Annan). Since , these representatives do not know the basic idea why their organizations established for and they do anything for their own benefit or their emotional satisfaction.Most unfortunate thing is their highly bias nature in international arena(Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya .. Vietnam ) make it impossible to win the confidence of the people around the world. UN and other human right organizations , today, pose threat to peaceful independent countries and their representatives act as Nazi officers. This is the time for people around the world to think about world organizations that really represent them not just represent few countries and for their benefit.
The basic idea behind most of human right allegation by UN and other HR organizations is to destroy these countries and exploit them politically and economically. Western countries have long list of human right violations in their history. English and other Europeans killed millions of people around the world to dominate them and exploit their wealth to build their blood empire. Even America is not belongs to white population. it is belongs to red Indians.Australia belongs to aborigines people. All human right violations happened in all these places.Even now aborigines killed by Australian whites and violate their basic human rights.In the recent past , most of the wars against humanity were carried out by western countries(USA, UK ..).Mass crimes done by allied forces in many places( Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya,Vietnam,Latin America). The major role of UN and other western human right organizations to cover up these human right violations by western countries and help them to exploit other countries politically and economically. The most recent example for that is George Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard never had war crime charges laid by any of so called human right organization for millions of deaths in middle east.But, they were rush to give publicity against the death caused by Chinese army at Tienman square. So , this is the truth of UN and human right organizations today.So, it has no meaning Sri Lankan expect justice from corrupted international organizations since it further highlights the importance of their existence as world organization , but really they are not.Time being ,UN and other organizations will diminish as international posers, with it's extreme reputation and credibility loss. So, it is challenge for Sri Lankan to survive until that point.
shiva god says:
Tamil dumbs think they are very safe in western countries since they were taking refugees into these countries. But , what you do not understand is that you Tamil people were used by British for many centuries for their benefits. Remember , who send you to Malaysia,Sri Lanka,South Africa as slaves.It is your dear queens men.It is your misery that you cannot live with your own people and still asking something to live from colonial masters. Please be civilized and stand up with own people.Do not stab your friends and sleep with your long time enemy.You black and whites are not same when you are going to live together even you are told it is.They say that to make you happy and then use and dominate you.You cannot change the universal truth.Bless you ! Shiva god.
See the video. Is this zero casualties
or collateral damage? Investigate this
to find the truth...for the sake of
THOSE WHO DIED THIS WAY whether they
be Sri Lankan soldiers or Tamil
civilians or LTTE cadres.
Shame on those who cover up or
condone these killings!
modda says:
Ayyo! All Sri Lankans here, where did all Maldivian cowards go? machcha they cant face Sri Lakans no? Nasheed machcha appi presidents best friend no
Mohamed Rasheed says:
Sri Lankans are fully capable of finding solutions to their problems. Investigations could be monitored by the local human rights watch groups and NGO's including minority groups. These wonderful people and their country has suffered for too long. It is time to move on and they deserve the chance.
Buddha says:
The best solution for the Asian politics is, India compete Microsoft, and Chinese grab world economy, Arabs stop selling oil to Europe and USA, and we Asian buy Malaysian Cars, Indian software's, Chinese foods and Russian aircrafts and boycott for all weapons as we don't need them in Asia. And say no to green bucks, and promote only Chinese, Korean and Japanese Tourists to our countries. And explore African resources, and let America and Europe live together happily with their freedom, technology and trade by themselves. The whole problem of the world will solved immediately. I don't know why we worship white skins and believe that we can't live without them. I think we are better off without them if we stop thinking that we have different race, culture, religion and stop fighting for these crazy ideologies.
Ghahan says:
Why wont we ask the people in Jaffan if life is better without the brutal organization called the LTTE. I was in Jaffna last month and my relations and family are so happy. Its you the false aslyum seekers that use the term human rights to justify your claim for residency in the western countries. If you would have driven a taxi and cleaned the toilets in Srilanka, they way you do in these countries, SL would have been a great nation, however it was your bloody status and cast that that left you in this stage. Please dont go back to SL if you have seeked political aslyum, you are a traitor.
Miad says:
Just watch the video. Far from anything that can be condoned or justified.
Manik says:
There is nothing in this video that proves that this was done by the Sri Lankan army. Nothing at all.
This is not to say that violations did not take place. I am sure that it did as in any other war. The LTTE lost the war and now its supporters by bribing foreign MPs are trying to start the war all over again.
The Rajapakses's are no angels but this is ridiculous. UK and US invaded Iraq and committed enormous war crimes and killed even children in cold blood yet AI is not calling for their government to be investigated by the UN.
Last week a report in UK found that the a Regiment of the British Army was responsible for killing and torturing Iraqi's yet only one soldier was sent to prison and even that for only one year.
I would say that a lot of civilians were also killed by shelling in Sri Lanka and the Government accepts this now and it should say this is the same as the shelling in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
It is extremely good that such a big terrorist organisation has been defeated and Sri Lanka should be congratulated for that and we as good neighbours should help them move forward. We, Maldivians should remember that LTTE had even killed Maldivians in their terror bombings in Sri Lanka.
If US UK & Europe pursuing on a international reconciliation we need a 30 years incidents of LTTE & Diaspora, India, UK, Europe and US. They all are involved in this mess. India trained LTTE, fund and armed them. US did not have a strict rule for extorion money, money laundering and so as Europe and UK. They also armed them and encouraged this world's worst criminals to distroy SL. They put a deaf eyer to all incidents when they killed S/Lankan civilians. When LTTE are cornerned at the latter part they tried to save them by advising SL Govt to negociate. India did not look after their terrotory and allowed tigers by training and arming them to fight against SL. All these are to be accounted at the Geneva UN meeting to initiate a international reconciliation. What about Diaspora collecting money to arm Tigers. Final 3 days SL Army found Large stock of arms which they set fire. Blake ignores these events, Banki doe'nt want to talk about these incidents. US ignores but they also did the same thing with Osama. Where is the international reconciliation for that or in respect of Irag, Sudan Afganistan incidents. Hypocrits get lost.
tck says:
what you guys are talking BULLSHIT. LTTE committed crimes in the past & they were punished for that & thus annihilated. In the process the Sri Lankan state has commited lot of crimes against crimes and who will punish them?? LTTE is a non-state actor doesnt have to follow international obligations. u say them terrorists & why you sxpect them to follow rules & regulations???
BUT Sri Lankan gornment is a STATE and a menber of UN and obliged to follow some international agreements & norms like human rights. it cant violate everything and then ask for economic development aid and invite tourists from international community to visit their country to improve their economy. If international aid is not there for Sri Lanka, particularly US and EU aid programmes, it would have been a failed state now. so the UN and the International community have every rigght to question about their human rights record (if any) and inquire war crimes.
