SSRI's, Infertility and Gardasil:What's the Connection?
SSRI Antidepressants Linked To Male Infertility
by S. L. Baker, features writer

(NaturalNews) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning a few years ago that pregnant women taking the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant paroxetine risk giving birth to infants with major birth defects, including heart abnormalities ( http://www.naturalnews.com/021225_P...).
 
Now comes word that the same drug (sold as Paxil, Paxil CR, Seroxat, Pexeva, and generic paroxetine hydrochloride) carries another danger that could keep babies from being born in the first place. A new study just published in the online edition of the journal Fertility and Sterility concludes as many as fifty percent of all men taking the antidepressant could have damaged sperm and compromised fertility.

New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center researchers followed 35 healthy male volunteers who took paroxetine for five weeks. Then sperm samples from the men were studied using an assay called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) to evaluate whether there were missing pieces of genetic code in the sperm DNA. This condition, know as DNA fragmentation, is associated with reproductive problems.

The results? The percentage of men with abnormal DNA fragmentation soared from less than 10 percent to 50 percent while taking the antidepressant. This is a crucial finding because DNA fragmentation has long been known to correlate with an increased risk of birth defects, poor fertility and unsuccessful pregnancy outcomes -- even when high tech, extraordinarily expensive fertility enhancing techniques such as in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection are used.

The study, one of the first scientific investigations into the effect of SSRIs on sperm quality, also confirmed that paroxetine impairs sexual function. More than a third of the research subjects reported significant changes in erectile function and about half had difficulty ejaculating.

"It's fairly well known that SSRI antidepressants negatively impact erectile function and ejaculation. This study goes one step further, demonstrating that they can cause a major increase in genetic damage to sperm," Dr. Peter Schlegel, the study's senior author and chairman of the Department of Urology and professor of reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, explained in a statement to the media. "Although this study doesn't look directly at fertility, we can infer that as many as half of men taking SSRIs have a reduced ability to conceive. These men should talk with their physician about their treatment options, including non-SSRI depression medications."

The scientists could not identify the exact way the SSRI caused the DNA fragmentation, but the evidence strongly suggests the drug slows sperm as it moves through the male reproductive tract from the testis to the ejaculatory ducts. When this happens, the sluggish sperm grows old and its DNA becomes damaged.

"This is a new concept for how drugs can affect fertility and sperm. In most cases, it was previously assumed that a drug damaged sperm production, so the concept that sperm transport could be affected is novel," Dr. Schlegel stated.

The study contains some good news for men currently on Paxil and related drugs who may be concerned about their fertility. All the changes the researchers found appeared to be totally reversible. Specifically, normal levels of sexual function and DNA fragmentation both returned to normal one month after discontinuation of the drug.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
COMMENT by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny: Like SSRIs, the new vaccine for HPV and cervical cancer, Gardasil, will be associated with infertility in the future. Gardasil is now in clinical trials for use in little boys. It contains borax, shown to cause infertility in male mice. Between Gardasil in girls and boys, and SSRIs, the next generation will be barren by the time they are in their 20s and Pharma will have no liability. Oh yes...and it will drive the in vitro medical business through the roof! Always remember that drugs and vaccines drive dollars into other areas of their business.
 
Here are a few examples, but the list can go on and on: 
 
• Example: vaccines can cause asthma --> We now have an epidemic of childhood asthma and sales of asthma drugs are in the multiple billions.
• Example: the hepatitis B and the HiB vaccine have been linked to causing insulin dependent diabetes --> We now have an epidemic of childhood diabetes (read, lifetime diabetes) and sales of all services related to diabetes are in the multiple billions.
• Example: the polio vaccine has been linked to some cancers, such as brain tumors and lymphomas (read the book, "The Virus and the Vaccine" by Debbie Bookchin for details.). Aventis makes some polio vaccines; not a coincidence they also make the chemotherapy drugs for these cancers.
• Example: vaccine components, especially mercury and aluminum, can cause chronic brain inflammation that can last for years. (See Dr. Blaylock's research.). The sale of drugs for ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. is in the multiple billions...and rising.
 
There are massive changes anticipated in the health care and insurance policies in the U.S. If we eliminated vaccines, yes, some children would becomes sick for a week or two. But we would save trillions of dollars in long-term health care costs, making insurance affordable -- and even unnecessary except for catastrophic occurrences-- for most.

Wake Up to the Gardasil Vaccine!
Here is a travesty about to happen. A study published May 26 2009 on the journal Pediatrics showed that mothers are willing to risk the lives of their children due to misinformation about the Gardasil, the vaccine for cervical cancer.
 
Of the 8,832 mothers who completed a survey (84% response rate), 7,207 had a daughter. Among mothers with a daughter, 48% intended to vaccinate a daughter if she were 9 to 12 years of age, 68% if she were 13 to 15 years of age, and 86% if she were 16 to 18 years of age. Forty-eight percent intended to receive the vaccine themselves if recommended. Here's the link to the article abstract: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/123/6/1439
 
This vaccine is causing death and disability to girls around the globe. I have become aware of a class action lawsuit brewing that involves 18 teenage girls who were scholars and athletes, and have either died or become chronically disabled. One of the vaccine ingredients, polysorbate 80, has been shown to cause infertility in female mice. When these teens grow up, and have issues getting pregnant, the vaccine will NOT be blamed and pharma will NOT have any liability --- and the in vitro business will boom.
 
Vaccines are the backbone of the entire medical system. If we stopped vaccinating, yes, some children would be sick -- for a week or two. But tens of millions of kids would remain healthy after the short-term illness. This would eliminate the need for drugs that treat asthma, allergies, ADD/ADHD, depression, diabetes, and even some cancers.
 
Solution? JUST SAY NO. Learn how to stay healthy without vaccines.

More Pandemic Flu Shot Information

Friends,

I spoke at the Health Freedom Expo in Chicago over the weekend. It was agreed that everyone should make a personal plan (and that plan may be different for each person), for how you will deal with the possiblity of forced, mandatory vaccinations. The US government is planning to vaccinate 100% of the population (I have the documents of the discussions -- dated from 2007 forward). Many of us are working hard behind the scenes to get up to date information and to build a coalition to stop this. The right to decide what will be injected into your body should be yours!

The (swine) flu shot contract has been given to Novartis, meaning that the flu vaccine will most likely be made with PER.C6 cells (cells from retina of aborted fetal tissue) and contain their proprietary MF59, very very toxic and debilitating chemical. In 2006, legislation was passed to give Pharma 100% liability protection for pandemic vaccines, even if they cause disability and death. (Called Division E...on my website)

As we know, all politics is local, so it is important to have local people understand our position. Everyone feels helpless with National politicians and are convinced they are so "bought off" they absolutely do not listen to constituents (any more). People are feeling the need to take things into their own hands to protect themselves and their families.

Here were some of the suggestions and comments that came up in Chicago. I hope that others will contribute to this action plan. In the 10 years I have been involved with this, i have never had such a sense of urgency; not even after 911 when they tried to force smallpox vaccines on everyone. (it was a big failure and many who went along with the Trial Plan are now chronically ill...some died)

Part of my "life mission" is to stop this nonsense. There is now 100% PROOF that vaccines cause microglia activation in the brain -- which translate to chronic inflammation of brain tissue, and this inflammation and degeneration of nerve cells can go on for >40 years. That is from peer reviews PUBLISHED medical literature.

Please stay out of FEAR mode and get into ACTION mode. This is a "plan for the worst, hope for the best" situation. You don't want to be caught making this decision spur of the moment. Please feel free to share with all your friends.

You can't do it all, but you can do something! GET ACTIVE!

Best regards, Sherri

Suggestions that came up in Chicago

1. Make list of bullet points to discuss about the problems with the flu shot (i'll be posting this soon on the DrTenpenny.com website)

2. Contact local first responders (EMTs, Paramedics, Fireman, etc). Let them know what is in the shots and that *they* will be the first ones to get it. [NOTE: with Novartis getting the contact, there is a very real possibility that PER.C6 cells and MF59 will be in the "new" shots.]

3. Contact local police and discuss concerns about mandatory vaccination. You go to church and to the grocery store with these folks and their kids play with your kids. They are not "scary" people. (take the coffee and doughnuts to get in the door.... :)

4. Write a small article for LOCAL, community newspapers.

5. Contact local city council members about liberties and constitutional rights to refuse what is inserted/injected into your body.

6. have at least 2 weeks of food and water at your house and be prepared to voluntarily self-quarantine of given no other options.

7. Stock up on Vitamin D (2000IU per person), Vitamin A, Vitamin C, etc and homeopathics for the flu

8. Someone told me if you had to get the shot, *immediately* afterward, rub the area hard and brisk with 1/2 of a freshly cut lemon. I don't know if that will help, but it certainly can't hurt.

CAUTION: Pandemic Flu Shot Is Coming!
It appears Norvartis is going to be the "winner" for the new fall Pandemic vaccine. Here is a little bit of what to expect. Note that cell line technology for pandemic vaccines has been in the works since 2006. As many of you know, I have been deeply involved with this work for the last 10 years. This is the first time I can say that we are very close to mandatory vaccination. The drug companies have 100% product liability protection if it causes harm or death. For details go here: http://drtenpenny.com/Documents/Division_E.pdf Plan locally for how you are going to refuse. I would love to hear ideas from this list about how you are going to ban together in your community to refuse what is bound to be a nasty vaccine. thanks, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny www.DrTenpenny.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rino Rappuoli, Volume: 36, Number: 3 - Autumn 2006 Cell-Culture-Based Vaccine Production: Technological Options The next generation of influenza vaccines will be cell-culture-based for seasonal influenza and for pandemics. http://www.nae.edu/cms/Publications/TheBridge/Archives/7398/7638.aspx The complete characterization of the cell line is required to meet licensing requirements in any country, and selecting the most appropriate approach for a cell-culture vaccine process must be based on growth rates, yields, and regulatory obstacles. Current cell lines being used to express the influenza virus are: PerC.6, a proprietary formulation by Crucell; EBx™, a stem cell line derived from chicken embryos by a member of the Sigma-Aldrich Group; VERO, a kidney cell from the African green monkey; and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. FYI: Crucell’s PER.C6® cell line is derived from a single, human retina-derived cell, which was purposely immortalized using recombinant DNA technology. http://www.crucell.com/Description The new vaccine will probably also contain MF59, a squalene-containing adjuvant owned by Novartis. MF59 was approved for a flu vaccine in Italy for the elderly but has not been used in a licensed US vaccine. It was trialled for avian flu vaccines and other unlicensed vaccines. Some anticipate more autoimmune reactions as a result of this adjuvant, which stimulates relatively strong immunity. Gary Matsumoto's wonderful book, "Vaccine A" describes the horribly disabling side effects of MF59 in nearly all experimental mice. http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=97032

Swinish Shock Doctrine: Part Two

 

Dr. Tenpenny’s comments on below article by Hilary Butler

 

I wonder which supplier has a major government contract for surgical masks and disposable gloves? No doubt, another company that is benefiting from the Swine Flu Hype.

 

Hilary Butler wrote a fantatic blog, full of great information, about the surgical masks as seen on the news and seem to be popping up everywhere.

 

Article

 

"Everywhere we look, we see nothing but pictures of coloured surgical masks as if these have some paranormal ability to 'protect' the wearer. These, we presume, work. Right? After all, they are part of the 'national plan' to stop the spread of flu viruses right? We’ve been told that the two main means of infection are contact: as in shake someone’s hand, put hand in mouth; picking up droplets from furniture (fomites), or being directly coughed or sneezed over. Right? Masks supposedly are to contain what the infectious people cough out, to protect others, so wearers also assume that masks protect them from the “environment” around them. Why else would people on the streets of Mexico, and doctors, be wearing them? Right? Actually wrong, on both counts.

Raising the Pandemic Alert Level
Well, it happened. In less than 24 hours, the WHO has increased the Phase 4 alert to Phase V. WHO Director-General Margaret Chan declared the phase 5 alert after consulting with flu experts from around the world. “All countries should immediately now activate their pandemic preparedness plans,” Chan told reporters in Geneva. “It really is all of humanity that is under threat in a pandemic.”
 
Pretty interesting since early on the same day, a member of the WHO dismissed claims that more than 150 people have died from swine flu, saying it has officially recorded only 7 deaths around the world. Vivienne Allan, from WHO's patient safety program, said the body had confirmed that worldwide there had been just seven deaths - all in Mexico - and 79 confirmed cases of the disease. http://www.smh.com.au/world/only-7-swine-flu-deaths-not-152-says-who-20090429-aml1.html
 
Most important message from this? The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing here. I'm not sure if that is comforting or makes it all more scary. But stay out of the fear. Sit back and giggle at the scrambling going on around you knowing you are safe and secure in your decisions to keep yourself healthy from the inside out.

WHO Pandemic Plan
This is the WHO Pandemic Plan, written in 2005, that now looks more like "an action plan" than a "preparedness plan." This document is here so you can read it for yourself. http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/influenza/GIP_2005_5Eweb.pdf
 
We are currently at Level 5.
 
5. Consider deploying prototype pandemic vaccine, if available.  [This means that use of an unproven, marginally tested vaccine will be allowed.]
 
6. If agreements are already in place with manufacturer(s), consider recommending cessation of seasonal vaccine production and initiation of full-scale pandemic vaccine production.
 
7. Adjust priority lists of persons to be vaccinated.
 
8. Plan for vaccine distribution and accelerate preparations for mass vaccination campaigns (e.g., education, legal/liability issues) for when pandemic vaccine becomes available.
 
Level 6 states, "Consider applying emergency powers."

Swine Flu…All Part of the Plan
Bird flu, eh, I mean swine flu, hype is back in the news. The planning for mass vaccination and mandatory vaccination has continued since 2005. The government has been in the background, grinding away plans, setting up FEMA stations, getting Homeland Security trained. It’s all coming together in a masterful and extremely scary plan.

Until 2003, the concept of mandatory mass vaccination was only a worrisome far-off possibility. Vaccination laws are passed and monitored at the state level, not mandated or enforced at the federal level. But the groundwork changed January 28, 2003, during President George W. Bush’s State of the Union Address. 

On that fateful night, Bush revealed the creation of Project BioShield, a comprehensive effort to develop and make available drugs and vaccines to protect against attack by biological and chemical weapons. The initial stage of the program was estimated to cost $5.6 billion over ten years. 
Project BioShield set forth three major initiatives:

1) creating a permanent “indefinite funding authority” to spur development of medical countermeasures enabling the government to “purchase vaccines and other therapies as soon as experts believe that they can be made safe and effective,”

2) conferring new authority to the NIH to speed research and development of drugs and vaccines that would counter bioterrorism threats, and

3) authorizing emergency fast track provisions for the release of treatments—drugs and vaccines—still waiting for approval by the FDA “in the event of an emergency.”

On October 17, 2005, Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 (known as BioShield II) was passed and the fate of “the right to refuse” was further challenged and the stakes were raised to a new level. Named S.1873, the legislation was designed to give unprecedented advantages to the pharmaceutical industry and remove or severely weaken all of the safeguards that prevent dangerous vaccines, drugs, and medical devices from reaching consumers.

We are now looking at the manifestation of these acts as the front page news screams, “The Pandemic is Coming, The Pandemic is Coming.” All of this has been detailed my book, “FOWL! Bird Flu – It’s Not What You Think.”  Buy it today and get informed.  Click on the http://www.drtenpenny.com/store_a.aspx

Dr Jay Gordon, the pediatrician on Larry King Live with Jenny McCarthy

This is an amazing post from Dr Jay Gordon, the pediatrician on Larry King Live with Jenny McCarthy. He calls it like it is. This post deserves to be read in full.
Dr Sherri
__________________________________________

Dr. Rahul Parikh's article entitled, "Parents, Don't Be Immune to Vaccine Truths" should not have been published by the Los Angeles Times. He begins by painting a grim picture of a child in Mumbai who survives a case of tetanus. Instead of attempting to educate parents, his stated aim, he attempts to frighten them.

We should have long ago moved beyond trying to scare parents into vaccinating and also moved beyond trying to frighten parents into believing that every child getting a vaccine might end up with autism.

But the middle part of his exposition is devoted to a patient of mine and he commits ethics and HIPAA violations so egregious that the Medical Board must take him to task.

Dr. Parikh is a well-published medical author and blogger and he speaks of a patient he saw as an intern in the year 2000 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. (His bio on many sites lets you know that year.) He identifies the parents, their unique profession and their child's age and illness. This family can be identified by anyone who can use Google.

They have given me permission to respond to the LA Times article.

What he has done is illegal and unethical and violates the family's and child's privacy.

He wants to scare parents into listening and is willing to break the rules and violate medical confidentiality to do it.

He even identifies me in his story: "We stuck more needles into her tiny veins, and her doctor performed a spinal tap to make sure she didn't have bacterial meningitis." He knows that I'm the only private attending pediatrician who comes to Cedars do spinal taps.

Dr. Parikh then goes on to describe the patient as having whooping cough.

She did not have whooping cough.

Preliminary tests were positive but more definitive tests done later showed that the baby did not have any evidence of exposure to the bacterium that causes whooping cough. This medical writer then goes on to speculate that " . . .if she had only RSV, then she would have gotten better faster than she did, which is what led us to evaluate her further. But that combination -- being very sick and unvaccinated -- had led this child to the edge of respiratory failure . . ."

She was sick, required exactly the same care as a fully-vaccinated child and recovered. She's a healthy happy child.

Again, more efforts to scare than to educate. And a dishonest presentation of the facts. And a serious ethical and legal breach.

Dr. Parikh's discussion of the Larry King television show omits my presence on the show and mischaracterizes what actually occurred. Watch the episode on YouTube.

This is the second time in a matter of a few weeks that this newspaper has presented old news and inaccurate facts as being real news.

Dr. Paul Offit co-held the patent for a vaccine whose rights recently sold for $182 million. He and his book are cited here and often elsewhere as unbiased sources for information. Dr. Offit is an honest researcher but he should not be quoted as a completely disinterested expert.

Dr. Parikh correctly mentions that pediatricians have long been disdainful and dismissive of those of us who disagree with the routine vaccination schedule. The American Academy of Pediatrics has received millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry to support everything from the building of our new headquarters to the coffee and doughnuts at our conferences. The industry sponsors our speakers, spends millions on advertising in our official journals and pays for our lunches and dinners. Dr. David Tayloe, the AAP President, is a good man and I sense that he will soon begin reversing this controversial relationship. But, that money has influenced vaccine approval and recommendations and scheduling for decades.

There is no proof that vaccines can cause autism but the evidence needs further research and investigation. The three "vaccine court" cases this year are easily analogized to the early judicial decisions over cigarettes and lung cancer. Again, the proof's not there against vaccines, but dismissing the possibility and the evidence based on a few court cases is bad law, bad science and bad medicine.

No one, no one accuses doctors of being " . . . bent on making profits from vaccines at the expense of children" as Dr. Parikh implies. Drug companies may be motivated very strongly by the profit motive but most of us doctors give vaccines because we truly believe that a child's personal health and the community's health benefit because of these shots. And, yes, I give some shots every day. I just don't give as many of them as are recommended and I vaccinate as late and slowly as I can. Yes, I have considered the public heath implications of this choice. The dangers are grossly over-stated by Dr. Parikh and others.

For the first time in eight years, a child died of HIB bacterial meningitis in Minnesota earlier this year. I responded to a recent LA Times article about vaccines and my first draft included my notes about fatal tree limb accidents: Over 100 people die each year because tree limbs fall on them. The relevance was questioned by my editor (my wife) and therefore omitted. Strange statistically-unlikely things happen. Using them as scary examples in medical articles does not serve the discussion well.

Talk to your doctor but do your own "homework" too. Vaccines are neither unequivocally good nor bad. The way we vaccinate our children now is not as safe as we could make it.

Why doesn’t this make the news?

 

On February 13, 2009, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims “exonerated” vaccines in the debate over the causes of autism. Three judges ruled that the MMR vaccine, given in combination with thimerosal-containing vaccines, does not cause autism.

 

This breaking news story resonated for days across more than 1800 news outlets, websites, blogs and major TV networks. Of course, the vaccine industry’s darling pediatrician, Dr. Paul Offit, chief of Infectious Diseases and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, chirped gleefully that this was a “real victory for children and a great day for science.”

 

What got little fanfare was the report release only a few days later, on February 25, a different Court and a different judge had ruled in 2007 that the MMR vaccine had indeed caused Bailey Banks’ autism. The government had issued compensation of more than $800,000 to care for this child for the rest of his life.

 

And what got no attention whatsoever was the February 2, 2009 vaccine court ruling that the hepatitis b vaccine had, indeed, caused an MS-like illness in an adult woman who ultimately died from her disease. The connection between hepatitis b shot and MS (multiple sclerosis) has long been denied by pro-vaccine forces and the medical establishment.

 

There are hundreds of studies and reports in the medical literature of vaccine injury and death. I have many of them documented in my book, Saying No To Vaccines. None of this information makes headline news.

 

Pharma is fighting fiercely to retain keep making us their customers for life. Vaccines are relatively cheap but the real money is in the drugs they sell us to treat us after we have been damaged by vaccines. Making us sick in childhood will continue to drive their $500B/year industry.

 

How hard would you fight to save this lucrative business if it was yours?

Vaccine Deaths: It’s not just Gardasil vaccine

We hear a lot in the media about the growing problem with the Gardasil vaccine. Well, it isn’t just that vaccine killing children.

In April, 2008, four infants died within 15 to 20 minutes of receiving the measles vaccine in southern India.

In October, 2008 Madyson Williams died six days after receiving an MMR vaccine on her first birthday.
In March, 2009, 10 babies in Viet Nam had died from the hepatitis b vaccine, causing a big down turn in the number of mothers who were allowing vaccination of their babies.

In Sri Lanka, a 12-year old girl died after receiving a rubella vaccine even after her warnings from her parents, stating that their daughter was suffering from an allergy and requested an exemption. An additional 26 students were admitted to the hospital suffering from headaches, breathing problems and dizziness. While the Minister of Health is calling for an investigation, the girls were accused of "anxiety."

Year-to-date, there have been more than 12,000 claims filed with the government for vaccine injury, including 999 deaths. For example, there have been 17 deaths from the flu shot.

Don’t be fooled. They are all dangerous and potentially deadly no matter what your pediatrician says.

Gardasil: Losing a Generation

 

Through December 30, 2008, there have been 32 reported deaths following Gardasil, the newest vaccine for adolescents that is supposed to prevent cervical cancer.

 

Examples include:

 

· 17 year old Jessica Ericzon, a New York softball player, snowboarder and honor roll student who dropped dead within 48 hours of getting a Gardasil shot. A coroner could find no cause for her death after an autopsy.

 

· A 21-year old Maryland artist, athlete and honor roll college student died suddenly without explanation in June 2008 after her third Gardasil shot.

 

· Two years ago, 14-year old Jenny Tetlock received a Gardasil shot. Within 15 months, she developed a juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's disease) that caused her muscles to rapidly waste away. She became completely paralyzed and sadly, Jenny passed away last week.

 

Through their efforts to publicize Jenny's case on their blog, Jenny's parents connected with two other young women who developed neuromuscular degeneration after being injected with Gardasil. One was 22-year-old Whitney Baird, who died last August, just 13 months after receiving Gardasil. Another is Alicia Olund, a 12-year-old who began having trouble walking after getting her third shot last September. She now uses leg braces and a walker at home as her muscles continue to deteriorate.

 

Of course, John Iskander, the CDC's associate director for immunization safety, adds is perpetual opinion that, "we're doing just an initial review at this point; we don't have suspicions that these are casually related."

 

The FDA has yet to admit even one death is causally related to the vaccine, suggesting that the girls would have died that day even if no vaccine had been given. Many of the teenage girls who die suddenly after vaccination without explanation, were among the brightest and the best and in top physician condition.

 

We are losing an entire generation to vaccines. We need to just Say No.

The Dreaded Table

The Vaccine Injury Table, referred to as The Table, is the guiding document for receiving compensation after a vaccine injury. The Table lists and explains injuries and conditions that are presumed to be caused by vaccines. It also determines the time periods in which the first symptom must occur to point a finger at a vaccine as the cause. For example, if you received the tetanus vaccines and had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) within 4 hours after receiving the vaccine, then if no other cause is found, it is presumed that the tetanus vaccine caused the injury.

 

There are many downsides to the Table. For one, if your anaphylaxis occurred 6 hours after the shot, you are “off the table” and the government does not have to consider your claim. The time frames was arbitrarily established in 1999 by Donna Shalala, the former head of Health and Human Services (HHS). Now, the proof is on you to convince a judge that the vaccine caused the injury. Having participated in several Vaccine Court cases as a witness, I can assure you that the government attorneys look for every possible reason to dismiss the case and declare that the injury was NOT caused by the vaccine.

 

Filing a claim is not a quick or automatic process. On average, it takes 2-3 years to adjudicate a claim after it is filed and less than 18% (2,285) of petitioners received compensation for their injury. Year-to-date, the government has paid $1,878,549,807 for vaccine injuries.

 

Since the program started in 1989, there have been 12,925 cases filed. Notably, 999 of these injuries were deaths. Here is a complete list of injuries and deaths filed for each vaccine. Sadly, and notably, all of the autism cases filed with the court to date (404) have been dismissed without compensation.

 

When the media and vaccine talking heads such as Paul Offit, MD make blanket statements about vaccine safety show a blatant disregard for those ruined and ended lives. It is time to be bold and say it like it is: Poison is coming through those needles.

Vaccine Injury Can Come at Any Age

 

I am frequently asked, “Are vaccines safe if I wait until my baby is older?” the answer is an unequivocally no.

 

Of the families and individuals compensated over the last 20 years by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the government sponsored fund for vaccine injuries, approximately 18% were adults who received vaccines.  Nearly 52% of program awards in 2007 and 2008 went to adult vaccine recipients.

 

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was signed into law in 1986 by then-president Ronald Regan. Law suits were mounting against vaccine manufacturers for vaccine injuries and deaths, and they threatened to pull completely from the market. The Program was designed to be a “less adversarial system funded by a federal excise tax on every vaccine.” In 2004, Paul Offit, MD from Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHoP) stated that the NVICP was a way “to protect pharmaceutical companies by ambushes by the tort system.”

 

Bottom line: Vaccine manufacturers can make products that can kill you and you have little recourse and limited access to compensation.

The Shot Fairy

Just when you think you have seen everything, you get blown out of the water with yet another new ploy to get your kids vaccinated.

 

A family physician in a Chicago suburb will soon start ShotFairy.com, a company that uses the tooth fairy as inspiration. Much like its dental counterpart, the shot fairy will come into children's homes when they are sleeping, give them a vaccine and leave a lollipop on the pillow.

 

Dr. Scott Hanlon, a family physician with Evergreen Medical Ltd., will soon start a door-to-door vaccine company by hiring nurses to work from 9 to 11 p.m., visiting houses when children are asleep. Parents will be able to sign up online for days and hours that best suit them, he said. The price has not yet been determined. Hanlon is thinking about expanding the shot fairy program to include "flu shot parties" for adults, noting you can get flu shots at pharmacies and grocery stores. He is also planning a flow for the local St. Patrick's Day parade with a "shot fairy" on the float will be dressed as a nurse. She'll have wings, with a lollipop in one hand and a syringe in the other.

 

What will they think of next? Scary thought, isn't it?

Hannah Poling Case, Pharma & Autism

Karma has a very long memory. All of this "jubilation" about vaccines don't cause autism and yet, tens of thousands of children are lost each year. God will not forgive those who mercilessly kill the brains of His Children for mammon. Doesn't their massive protection of Pharma and vaccines shout loudly about their absolute intent to destroy humanity?  

I am angry beyond belief at this...and absolutely heart broken for the parents who have been abandoned and bankrupted by our "government system" and paid-off government lackeys will do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G to save the vaccination program, a proceedure which should go the way of leaches and blood letting.

Dr. Sherri

Here's what TACA (Talk About Curing Autism)  has to say:
"The decision said that there was not enough science at the time of the trial to back up the claim that vaccines were the causation of autism theory.  The science may be there at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.  The Cedillo, Snyder and Hazelhurst cases will be appealed and looked at again. After all, if the government can not definitively tell us the cause autism, they can not tell us what doesn’t cause autism either.  This fight is not over."

First Autism Omnibus Court Cases Decided
Statement prepared by: Rebecca Estepp

February 12, 2009


What happened February 12, 2009 in Washington, DC?


More than a year-and-a-half has passed since the first Autism Omnibus Proceeding test case was heard to address claims of vaccine injury filed by parents of children with autism.  Families who believe their children’s autism was caused by vaccines have anticipated this day for a long time. Today we have the first three verdicts. To date, more than 5,300 claims have been filed in the program with the cases still waiting to be heard.


What were the verdicts?


Today we learned yet another government system has failed the families affected by autism. All three cases:  Cedillo, Hazelhurst, and Synder were ruled against the families and they were found not entitled to a program award for their children for the vaccine autism link.


Who are the Cedillo, Synder and Hazelhurst families?


Michelle Cedillo is a 14-year-old girl who developed autism after her MMR shot at 15 months of age. She was the first-ever Omnibus Autism test case in June 2007. The first day of Michelle’s Omnibus case created a media frenzy. Twelve-year-old Colten Snyder and 9-year-old Yates Hazelhurst were the second and third Omnibus cases tried in November of 2007.  Similar to Michelle Cedillo, these two boys also regressed into autism as toddlers after their routine pediatric vaccines. To date, six test cases have been tried in the Autism Omnibus Proceedings.
TACA would like to take this time to recognize the extreme courage of the Cedillo, Snyder and Hazelhurst families.  These families blazed the legal trail for children with autism in the Omnibus Autism Program. These brave families and their children are our heroes.


How do these cases relate to Hannah Poling’s Omnibus Case?


Hannah Poling’s case was conceded by the U.S. government in November 2007. A concession is very different from a decision made by the court.  In Hannah’s case, the Department of Health and Human Services advised the Department of Justice not try her case and to compensate Hannah for the injuries incurred after her vaccinations.  The public did not find out about the concession until journalist David Kirby wrote about it in the Huffington Post on February 25, 2008. In a sense, Hannah was the first autism/vaccine injury case on record to be reconciled even though her case did not go to trial.


We have many questions as to why the government would concede this case before trial and rule against others that had similar evidence.

What is the Omnibus Autism Program?


The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in 1988. The VICP was created to ensure there was an adequate supply of vaccines and stabilize vaccine costs. Prior to this Act, there were only a handful of drug companies who produced vaccines.  These companies had suffered huge losses in civil court over vaccine injuries.  The drug companies lobbied for protection and the Act was passed.

A responsibility of the VICP was to establish and maintain an accessible and timely venue for individuals found to be injured by vaccines. The VICP was developed to be a no-fault alternative to the traditional tort system for resolving vaccine injury claims that provides compensation to people found to be injured by certain vaccines. The U. S. Court of Federal Claims decides these claims in court commonly referred to as vaccine court.  Damages are paid to individuals from a fund that government maintains. Drug companies can no longer be sued a civil court of law until the claim has gone through the VICP. For more information go to: http://www.hrsa.gov/Vaccinecompensation/


The VICP was set up for individuals that suffered an “on the table” vaccine injury.  That is, an injury that happened within minutes or hours after receiving a vaccine.


Starting in 2001, parents of children with autism started filing claims with VICP.  These claims were considered “off the table,” meaning the vaccine injury did not occur “on the table” or at the time of injection.  In July of 2002, the Special Masters (the term used for “judges” in vaccine court) established the procedure for addressing these claims and the Omnibus Autism Proceeding (OAP) was born. It was at that time that parents started flooding OAP with claims.  As stated before, more than 5300 claims have been filed in the program to date.

No link to Vaccines & Autism


While the press and several vocal scientists continue to quote there is no link between autism and vaccines, we encourage individuals to continue to do their own research.  There appears to be a pattern in a susceptible group of children receiving adverse reactions to their vaccines leading to regressive autism.


Medical abstracts that review the link of autism and vaccine injuries including other co-morbid features often found in children affected by autism can be found at these links:

Analysis of the decisions


I had the privilege of attending part of Michelle Cedillo’s three week trial. I watched Michelle’s baby videos in the court room along with the Special Masters. I saw a gorgeous, typical toddler regress into hideous medical problems within days of her MMR vaccine. Her illness and change after that pediatrician’s visit was dramatic and very visible to those watching the case unfold. The testimony that Theresa Cedillo provided was articulate and heartbreaking. No family should have to witness these dramatic changes and new medical issues in their beloved child.


I have to think that the reason it took nineteen months for a verdict is that the decision was difficult to conclude.  The burden of scientific proof in vaccine court is “more likely than not” that the vaccine caused the child harm. These Special Masters must have wrestled with their verdicts.  Especially since this was new territory for these judges. Up until this point, the Special Masters were deciding cases that were “on the table injuries,” which means the child reacted to their vaccination with in minutes or hours of injection.


The fact that it took this long for these three decisions has to mean that the vaccine injury evidence had some merit.  Poor evidence would have produced a negative decision very quickly.  Most likely what stood in the way of these decisions going to the children are:

  1. Blocked access to the Vaccine Safety Data (VSD) for the attorneys of these children.
  2. There was no discovery phase to trial.
  3. There was no jury.
  4. Parents and independent scientists do not have the resources to fund vaccine injury science outside pharmaceutical industry ties.
  5. After years of pleading, the government still refuses to do the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study health outcomes study.

The decision said that there was not enough science at the time of the trial to back up the claim that vaccines were the causation of autism theory.  The science may be there at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.  The Cedillo, Snyder and Hazelhurst cases will be appealed and looked at again. After all, if the government can not definitively tell us the cause autism, they can not tell us what doesn’t cause autism either.  This fight is not over.
