Why I Won't Vax
We have all been told at some point that it's important for everyone to get vaccinated in order to protect those who can't. We are given the image of a sick, immunocompromised child and told that this child will not be able to attend school with their peers, or go out into the community unless we all get vaccinated. Only then will we reach "heard immunity", protecting the child from illness by forming a sort of cocoon of protection around them. This idea sounds great in theory. I even fell for it after having my son. I dutifully went out and got my flu shot to protect my precious new baby boy. However, there are several holes in the theory.
influenza vaccine propaganda

Part One: Myths and Facts about Flu Shots
Part Two: How the CDC Uses Fear and Deception to Sell More Flu Vaccines
Part Three: How You’re Being Lied to about the Risks of Getting a Flu Vaccine Annually
The topic of vaccine failure has become increasingly popular over the last few years. We were told that vaccines would be the only way out of the pandemic. We were told that it was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". We were told if we got vaccinated we would not get sick and that we would be protecting others from getting sick. I think it is safe to say that none of those things are true. It has a lot of people talking about what a failure these vaccines are. People rightfully feel as though they were lied to. But vaccine failure didn't start with the coivd vaccines.
An article from Medical University Vienna describes vaccine failure
"There are 2 major factors responsible for vaccine failures, the first is vaccine-related such as failures in vaccine attenuation, vaccination regimes or administration. The other is host-related, of which host genetics, immune status, age, health or nutritional status can be associated with primary or secondary vaccine failures. The first describes the inability to respond to primary vaccination, the latter is characterized by a loss of protection after initial effectiveness. "
The article states that, "about 2-10% of healthy individuals fail to mount antibody levels to routine vaccines."
Although it varies, some diseases such as measles need 95% vaccination rates in order to reach heard immunity. That means if every person that could get vaccinated did we likely still would not reach herd immunity.
The Re-Emergence of Measles in Developed Countries: Time to Develop the Next-Generation Measles Vaccines?
January 5, 2012
Gregory A. Poland, MD, MACP, Editor-in-Chief, VACCINE and Robert M. Jacobson, MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics
Multiple studies demonstrate that 2–10% of those immunized with two doses of measles vaccine fail to develop protective antibody levels, and that immunity can wane over time and result in infection (so-called secondary vaccine failure) when the individual is exposed to measles. In an October 2011 outbreak in Canada, over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine.

Nearly 200 people in Texas detention facilities have contracted mumps
March 1, 2019
The Texas Tribune BY MARISSA EVANS
-Nearly 200 people have contracted mumps at detention facilities across Texas since October, according to a state health agency. - “there has been no reported transmission to the community.” -She added that the state doesn’t know the vaccination status of detained migrant adults or the children who entered the U.S. with them but that “all unaccompanied minors are vaccinated when they are detained.”
The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future
September 25, 2019
James D Cherry
In the last 13 years, major pertussis epidemics have occurred in the United States, and numerous studies have shown the deficiencies of DTaP vaccines, including the small number of antigens that the vaccines contain and the type of cellular immune response that they elicit. The type of cellular response a predominantly, T2 response results in less efficacy and shorter duration of protection. Because of the small number of antigens (3-5 in DTaP vaccines vs >3000 in DTwP vaccines), linked-epitope suppression occurs. Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.
The Pink Book
Centers for Disease Control
-From 1985 through 1988, 68% of cases in school-aged children (age 5 to 19 years) occurred among those who had been appropriately vaccinated -In 2019, 13 outbreaks of measles were reported, accounting for 663 cases; six were associated with underimmunized close-knit communities -The original Edmonston B vaccine was withdrawn in 1975 because of a relatively high frequency of fever and rash in recipients. -Approximately 2% to 7% of children who receive only 1 dose of MMR vaccine fail to respond to it, i.e., they experience primary vaccine failure. MMR vaccine failure can occur because of passive antibody in the vaccine recipient, immaturity of the immune system, damaged vaccine, or other reasons. -Most adverse events reported following MMR vaccination (such as fever and rash) are attributable to the measles component. - “During the 1989 -1991 measles resurgence, incidence rates for infants were more than twice as high as those in any other age group. The mothers of many infants who developed measles were young, and their measles immunity was most often due to vaccination rather than infection with wild virus. As a result, a smaller amount of antibody was transferred across the placenta to the fetus, compared with antibody transfer from mothers who had higher antibody titers resulting from wild-virus infection. The lower quantity of antibody [in the vaccine] resulted in immunity that waned more rapidly, making infants susceptible at a younger age than in the past.”
The relationship between mucosal immunity, nasopharyngeal carriage, asymptomatic transmission and the resurgence of Bordetella pertussis [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
August 25, 2017
Christopher J. Gill Pejman Rohani, Donald M Thea
In conclusion, the preponderance of available evidence now suggests that the list of plausible explanations for the resurgence of pertussis in the aP vaccination era goes beyond the “poor persistence” and “waning efficacy” of these vaccines to include an additional and likely pivotal factor: “lack of sterilizing mucosal immunity”. the current burden of disease is not well explained by the disease that is observed but implies asymptomatic chains of transmission; aP vaccination, or passively acquired antibodies resulting from aP vaccination, prevents symptomatic disease in animals but does not block infections; transmission readily occurs between asymptomatic aP-vaccinated but infected animals to uninfected animals in close physical proximity;
Fifty-one percent of cases of patients in a 1998/1999 mumps outbreak had at least one MMR vaccination, indicating their effectiveness may be overestimated.

Richard Harling, Joanne M White, Mary E Ramsay, Karen F Macsween, Corry van den Bosch
The observed effectiveness of any MMR vaccination adjusted for age, sex and general practice was 69%. - Two doses of vaccine were more effective (88%) than a single dose (64%).
The Navy's fighting to get a rare viral mumps outbreak under control after it stranded a US warship at sea
March 29, 2019
Business INSIDER Ryan Pickrell
-27 sailors and Marines aboard the dock landing ship USS Fort McHenry have been diagnosed with parotitis, which the Navy described in a statement earlier this month as a "viral infection which has symptoms similar to mumps." -Viral parotitis is an infection of the saliva glands on either side of the face that's typically caused by the mumps. -“The Navy’s position is that vaccines are effective at reducing the incidence and severity of vaccine-preventable diseases,” BUMED told BI. Unfortunately, “the mumps portion of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the least effective of the three components, providing 88% effectiveness after completion of the two dose series”
Shedding/Vaccine Derived Disease
-
Due to the concern for transmission of vaccine virus, vaccine recipients should attempt to avoid, whenever possible, close association with susceptible high-risk individuals for up to 6 weeks following vaccination.
-
.Vaccine recipients should avoid close contact with high-risk individuals susceptible to varicella due to possible risk of transmission. Varicella vaccine virus transmission may occur between vaccine recipients and contacts susceptible to varicella including healthy individuals.
-
Other reported adverse reactions in all age groups include: varicella-like rash (injection site) and varicella-like rash (generalized).
-
VARIVAX may establish latency of varicella zoster virus in immunocompetent individuals, with the potential for later development of herpes zoster.
-
Measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), pneumonitis, and death as a direct consequence of disseminated measles vaccine virus infection have been reported in immunocompromised individuals inadvertently vaccinated with measles-containing vaccine. In this population, disseminated mumps and rubella vaccine virus infection have also been reported.
-
The following adverse reactions include those identified during clinical trials or reported during post-approval use of M-M-R II vaccine or its individual components.
-
atypical measles
-
measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE)
-
measles-like rash

Shedding Studies Shedding of vaccine viruses within 28 days of vaccination with FluMist was evaluated in (1) multi-center Study MI-CP129 which enrolled healthy individuals 6 through 59 months of age (N = 200); and (2) multi-center Study FM026 which enrolled healthy individuals 5 through 49 years of age (N = 344). In each study, nasal secretions were obtained daily for the first 7 days and every other day through either Day 25 and on Day 28 or through Day 28. In Study MI-CP129, individuals with a positive shedding sample at Day 25 or Day 28 were to have additional shedding samples collected every 7 days until culture negative on 2 consecutive samples. Results of these studies are presented in Table 5
Measles outbreak in a fully immunized secondary-school population
T L Gustafson, A W Lievens, P A Brunell, R G Moellenberg, C M Buttery, L M Sehulster
Serum samples from 1806 students at two secondary schools were obtained eight days after the onset of the first case. Only 4.1 percent of these students (74 of 1806) lacked detectable antibody to measles according to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and more than 99 percent had records of vaccination with live measles vaccine. We conclude that outbreaks of measles can occur in secondary schools, even when more than 99 percent of the students have been vaccinated and more than 95 percent are immune.

We describe excretion of measles vaccine strain Schwarz in a child who developed a febrile rash illness eight days after primary immunisation against measles, mumps and rubella. Throat swabs and urine specimens were collected on the fifth and sixth day of illness, respectively. Genotyping demonstrated measles vaccine strain Schwarz (genotype A). If measles and rubella were not under enhanced surveillance in Croatia, the case would have been either misreported as rubella or not recognised at all

Oral polio vaccinees can continue to shed for at least 13 weeks.

During replication, oral polio vaccine (OPV) can revert to neurovirulence and cause paralytic poliomyelitis. In individual vaccinees, it can acquire specific revertant point mutations, leading to vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). With longer replication, OPV can mutate into vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), which causes poliomyelitis outbreaks similar to those caused by wild poliovirus. Our real-time PCR assay was able to detect small amounts of OPV in both stool and sewage and to distinguish nonrevertant and revertant serotypes and demonstrated that OPV continues to circulate at least 13 weeks after a NID in a Mexican population routinely immunized with IPV.

At the present time, the only poliovirus-caused poliomyelitis cases reported in Brazil and other countries of the Americas are of vaccine etiology.
L H de Oliveira, C J Struchiner
At the present time, the only poliovirus-caused poliomyelitis cases reported in Brazil and other countries of the Americas are of vaccine etiology. Among individuals who had received oral polio vaccine (OPV) from 4 to 40 days before the onset of paralysis, we found a relative risk of 8.88 (95% CI: 4.37-18.03) for VAPP as compared with persons who had not been vaccinated during the same time interval. A major share of VAPP cases were related to children affected by prodromes (fever and gastrointestinal signs and/or symptoms), isolation of vaccine poliovirus type 2, paralysis of the lower limbs, and a mean age of 1 year.

Annual Vaccination against Influenza Virus Hampers Development of Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Children
" long-term annual vaccination using inactivated vaccines may hamper the induction of cross-reactive CD8+ T cell responses by natural infections and thus may affect the induction of heterosubtypic immunity. This may render young children who have not previously been infected with an influenza virus more susceptible to infection with a pandemic influenza virus of a novel subtype."
