The newly released 2002 immunization schedule encourages the routine use of hepatitis B vaccine for all infants before hospital discharge to : 

• 'Safeguard' against maternal hepatitis B testing errors and test reporting failures (It is anything BUT  'safe' !)
  
• Protect neonates discharged to households in which hepatitis B 'chronic carriers' other than the mother may reside
  
• 'Enhance the completion' of the childhood immunization series -  (The list gets longer every year !)

The annual "Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule" of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is issued in January of each year.

Pediatrics Vol. 109 No. 1 January 2002, pp. 162

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Folks I am outraged !  We need to take action now. These 'recommendations' are inexcusable.

There is no possible logical recommendation for this action !  All of these arguments are fatally flawed.

If you are new to the site, these may sound like lunatic ramblings of some quack, but before you come to that, or a similar conclusion, I challenge you to examine the facts.

The central fact, and the one that helps to explain these insane recommendations, is that the maker of the hepatitis B vaccine, Merck, makes about $1 billion a year from vaccine sales.

A billion dollars a year goes a long way toward influencing public policy.

Who is Behind This?

The group that is pushing this through is called "The Hepatitis B coalition". Part of the Immunization Action Coalition, this group was started by a $750,000 grant from the CDC. It is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank, Rockefeller Foundation, and ongoing funding from Smith-Kline, Merck, Aventis and Johnson & Johnson (drug companies).

Let us not forget that it has been less than three years since the federal government asked the drug companies to take mercury out of this vaccine, and they still haven't complied.

I have seen many dozens of children who were given this vaccine on the first day of life and subsequently developed autism. Others, like Michael Belkin's daughter, weren't as lucky, and died immediately after the vaccine. (There are more of these deaths of newborns then anyone will ever know !)

Michael is a successful Wall Street Financial analyst with his own company, and has testified to Congress on this issue , and regularly forwards news health stories to me.

Well in the single dose hepatitis B vials, the drug companies have replaced the mercury with aluminum, which is another potent neurotoxin that has been associated with Alzheimer's. But who knows what damage it will do to the immature central nervous system of a one-day old infant.

[Babies do not HAVE an active immune system until they are at least 4 YEARS old ! So ANY vaccination is useless in these first 4-5 years anyway !  All they do is DAMAGE !]

The multi dose hepatitis B vials still contain mercury.  And these are not the only toxins in the vaccines !!

Folks, hepatitis B is about as difficult to catch as AIDS. Namely, you nearly always need to have blood or sexual contact of some sort. That is why the main risk factors are IV drug abusers and those who engage in sex with multiple partners.  But newborn babies do not fit into this category !

Athsma is also linked to the infant Hepatitis B vaccine !

Is Hepatitis Vaccine Safe ?

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was developed by the government to report vaccine reactions. Many experts believe that only 10% of the adverse reactions are reported though as reporting is not mandated by law.

Even with only 10% of the problems being reported there were nearly 25,000 VAERS hepatitis B ADVERSE reports from July 1990 to October 31, 1998, showing 439 deaths and 9673 serious reactions involving emergency room visits, hospitalization, disablement or death.

The presence of findings such as brain edema in healthy infants who die very soon after receiving hepatitis B vaccine is profoundly disturbing, especially in view of the frequency of neurologic symptoms in the VAERS.

Does this make any sense?

Is Hepatitis B Vaccine Effective in Newborns ?

First of all, it is a sin to assault the delicate pure newborn immune system that has just begun to be exposed to new surroundings, and the body is NATURALLY beginning to adapt and develop.

Vaccine derived immunity is thought to be short lived. Between 30-50% of vaccinated individuals lose their antibodies within 7 years when the vaccine of a disease is used.  IF the body is allowed to develop its' own NATURAL immunity, THAT immunity is for LIFE !   Man-made vaccinations are NOT of the NATURAL type of the illness, and vaccines are forced into the body in a very UN-natural way; but for true immunity, the illness must enter the body in the NATURAL  way.  So vaccinations are a problem to begin with, no matter what kind they are.

Up to 60% of persons who initially respond will lose detectable antibodies within 12 years.. So that means that these vaccines will provide little to no protection to the real risks of acquiring hepatitis B, promiscuous sexual behavior and IV drug abuse.

Does this make any sense?

How Many Children Are Hurt or Helped By Hepatitis B Vaccine?

In short - MANY ARE HURT !  NONE are 'helped' !!

Hepatitis B is a rare, mainly blood-transmitted disease.  In 1996 only 54 cases of the disease were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 age group. There were 3.9 million births that year, so the observed incidence of hepatitis B in the 0-1 age group was just 0.001%. In the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 alone, in the 0-1 age group, with 47 deaths reported !!

Let us put this in simpler terms. For every child with hepatitis B vaccine, there were 20 that were reported to have severe complications. Do you realize how high that number is !?  Let us also remember that only 10% of the reactions are reported to VAERS, so this means:

Traditional medicine is harming 200 children to protect one from hepatitis B !!!!

Does this make any sense?

How Serious Is a Hepatitis B Infection to warrent such a risk to our babies ?

The numbers speak for themselves !! 

Approximately 50% of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no symptoms after exposure.

However, the exposure ensures that they will have natural life-time immunity. An additional 30% develop only flu-like symptoms, and again, this group will acquire life-time immunity.

Of the remaining 20% exposed to Hepatitis B will develop the symptoms of the disease. 95% of this 20% will fully recover, with life-time immunity.

Therefore, less than 5% of people who contract Hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the infection.

The numbers get even smaller: of that 5%, nearly 75% (or 3.75% of the total exposed) will live with an asymptomatic infection and only 25%, (or only 1.25% of the total number of people exposed) will develop chronic liver disease or liver cancer, 10-30 years after the acute infection. (Hyams, K.C. (1995) Risks of chronicity following acute hepatitis B virus infection: A review. Clin. Infect. Dis. 20, 992-1000.)

Think of that in terms of probability: the possibility of contracting the disease is exceedingly difficult for children and only 1.25% of those that are exposed will actually develop the most serious complication!

This type of a "protecting the needle in the haystack" medicine is absurd at best, dangerous at worst.

Does this make any sense?

How Many Safety Studies Have Been Done On Hepatitis B Vaccine?

None !!!!!!!

Your baby IS the 'test' !  And you are literally risking your baby's very life if you allow them to give these vaccines !!!  And they WILL do it if you do not STOP THEM !!!  They are so use to this "routine", as they will tell you, that they will just go ahead and do it without your consent !

A manufacturer's representative was asked in a 1997 Illinois Board of Health hearing to show evidence that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe for a 1-day old infant. The representative stated:

"We have none.  Our 'studies' (experimetns) were done on 5- and 10-year-olds."

(And even then, the results were not good !  So can you imagine how these brain damaging vaccines effect your newborn's brain !?)

-- The Congressional Quarterly, August 25, 2000, pg. 647

One would think that these tests would be mandatory, but they are not. All that is required is to show efficacy, (i.e. that the vaccine "stimulates" an antibody response after it is given), not safety.

In most other industries the fraud represented here would lead to criminal charges !! 

But drug companies now no longer even have to be responsible for all the injuries and deaths their vaccines and drugs do to people, and with the PEOPLE AND CHILDREN BEING THE TEST SUBJECTS, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS !

Does this make any sense ?

What Can You Do ?

Please tell every pregnant woman you know who about this issue !  They need to know the facts BEFORE they are in the hospital and have time to make an informed objective decision. If they are still convinced their child needs hepatitis B vaccine, beg them to make sure their child does not receive the vaccine as a newborn !  Delay the vaccine until they really are at a possible death risk, like late adolescence (16+ years old).

[Remember the young parents of today have been brought up on this government propaganda and the government agenda !  The are in full trust of 'their government' to have 'their best interests' at heart !  They are today totally convinced of this from being raised by the government school system !]

I am not asking much here. Only some compassion for the helpless. If you have ever seen the agony of families who are struggling with caring for brain injured children you will know what I mean.  And these children are damaged FOR LIFE !  So think about this very carefully !  This is literally LIFE AND DEATH for your baby !

I have shown dozens of times in this newsletter, drugs that are thought to be 'safe' are pulled from the market after they have killed  hundreds of people. [YOU PEOPLE ARE THE TEST SUBJECTS !] I am hopeful that hepatitis B vaccinations in newborns will be stopped. Medical science will have to recognize the truth sooner or later.  It is a sin that so many babies' lives have to be ruined FOREVER before truth is finally recognized !  BUT IT WILL TAKE YOU THE PEOPLE TO FORCE A STOP OF IT !  SAY 'NO' TO THE VACCINATIONS, AND DON'T LET THEM STRONG-ARM YOU INTO BELIEVING THEIR LIES AND THREATS TO MAKE YOU SACRIFICE YOUR CHILD FOR THEIR BRUTAL DEADLY AGENDA !!!  It's not THEIR CHILD who's life will be forever ruined, so they don't care !  For every damaged baby, that means MORE MONEY FOR THEM !  For that means YOU will be paying for medical treatments for the rest of that child's life, and that is MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS -  so it's almost like they WANT damaged children and babies, so they CAN make more money and do even MORE testing ON THEM !  Sounds sick, but that is what we are truly dealing with here !

Folks, drug deaths pale in comparison to the devastation in lost lives that is resulting from implementation of this hepatitis B recommendation. (And other vaccinations as well; all of them are deadly !)

You can play a large role here. Most of all us did not have a chance to make a difference in the 9/11 tragedy, but nearly everyone of us can help protect the precious brain cells of a newborn.

Don't Delay.

Contact every pregnant woman you know immediately. Save a life.

God Bless you in your efforts to protect the future of our civilization.

I am a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). This is a group of over 10,000 US medical doctors, and most of us have reached the conclusion that the head of the organization, Dr. Jane Orient, has about this issue.

To the extent that the physician simply complies without making an independent evaluation of the appropriateness of the vaccine for each patient, he is abdicating his responsibility under the Oath of Hippocrates to:

"prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone."
