“The tendency of a mass vaccination program is to herd people. People are not cattle or sheep. They should not be herded. A mass vaccination program carries a built-in temptation to oversimplify the problem; to exaggerate the benefits; to minimize or completely ignore the hazards; to discourage or silence scholarly, thoughtful and cautious opposition; to create an urgency where none exists; to whip up an enthusiasm among citizens that can carry with it the seeds of impatience, if not intolerance; to extend the concept of the police power of the state in quarantine far beyond its proper limitation; to assume simplicity when there is actually great complexity; to continue to support a vaccine long after it has been discredited;… to ridicule honest and informed consent.[1]”
There is plenty of confusion on the topic of vaccination, especially amongst brainwashed doctors who trusted their medical schools. Then the unsuspecting, trusting public trusts them…because the medical establishment must know best, right? And doctors are nice people, trying to do a good thing. True. I was once one of those brainwashed doctors who believed in the benevolence of the medical system and believed that all I learned was the best that modern times had to offer. It is blazingly clear to me now though, that much of what is taught in medical school is enormously limited. I now see that most doctors are little more than blind slave-technicians who follow the dogma they were taught and were rewarded for repeating, even as the truth unfolds in front of them dictating otherwise.
Unbeknownst to most doctors, the polio-vaccine history involves a massive public health service makeover during an era when a live, deadly strain of poliovirus infected the Salk polio vaccines, and paralyzed hundreds of children and their contacts. These were the vaccines that were supposedly responsible for the decline in polio from 1955 to 1961! But there is a more sinister reason for the “decline” in polio during those years; in 1955, a very creative re-definition of poliovirus infections was invented, to “cover” the fact that many cases of ”polio” paralysis had no poliovirus in their systems at all. While this protected the reputation of the Salk vaccine, it muddied the waters of history in a big way.
Even during the peak epidemics, unifactorial poliovirus infection, resulting in long-term paralysis, was a low-incidence disease[2] that was falsely represented as a rampant and violent crippler by Basil O’Connor’s “March Of Dimes” advertising campaigns. At the same time as Basil O’Connor was pulling in 45 million dollars a year to fund the Salk vaccine development, scientists started to realize that other viruses like Coxsackie, echo and enteroviruses, could also cause polio. They also discussed the fact that lead, arsenic, DDT, and other commonly-used neurotoxins, could identically mimic the lesions of polio. During the great epidemics in the United States, the pathology called polio was reversed by alternative medical doctors who attested to great success, using detoxification procedures available at the time – yet they were categorically ignored[3].
Now it is admitted in the medical literature that other viruses can cause polio, yet few people on the street have any idea.
Prior to 1954, the following undoubtedly hid behind the name “poliomyelitis”: Transverse Myelitis, viral or “aseptic” meningitis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)- (what Franklin Delano Roosevelt had)[4], Chinese Paralytic syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, post-polio syndrome, acute flaccid paralysis(AFP).
Included under the umbrella term “Acute Flaccid Paralysis” are Poliomyelitis, Transverse Myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, enteroviral encephalopathy, traumatic neuritis, Reye’s syndrome etc.
Before you believe that polio has been eradicated, have a look at this graph of AFP and Polio. If you are wondering why there is no data prior to 1996, go to the WHO website for AFP and you will see that there is no data prior to 1996, and note that AFP conitnues to rise in 2011. Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is just another name for what would have been called polio in 1955, and is used to describe a sudden onset of paralysis. It is the most common sign of acute polio, and used for surveillance during polio outbreaks. AFP is also associated with a number of other pathogenic agents including enteroviruses, echoviruses, and adenoviruses, among others. But in 1955, there was no attempt to detect anything other than polio in cases of AFP. Once the vaccine was mass marketed, the game changed.
When people ask me where all the children on iron lungs are, I would answer that they should ask Dr. Douglas Kerr from Johns Hopkins, who stated on pg. xv in the Forward to Donna Jackson Nakazawa’s book “The Autoimmune Epidemic”…
“Infants as young as five months old can get Transverse Myelitis, and some are left permanently paralyzed and dependent upon a ventilator to breathe… my colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and I hear about or treat hundreds of new cases every year.”
Does the public have any idea that there are hundreds of cases of something that would once have been called polio, and some of those children will be dependent on a modern version of the iron lung? No. Parents today think that the Salk vaccine eliminated any need for ventilators, because the pictures of all these children on iron lungs are no longer paraded in front of people in order to create fear. Besides which, today’s “iron lungs” don’t look like a prototype submarine. They are barely recognizable as today’s “ventilators.”
The polio vaccine had the fastest licensing in FDA history. It was approved for commercial production after only a two-hour deliberation amongst the Licensing Committee, in a pressured environment. These scientists witnessed a vaccine that was escorted to market, before academic and community doctors had a chance to read any published reports on the safety studies, and before the results of the big polio vaccine trial made it into any medical journal. If these scientists had had more say, it is likely that the “Cutter” disaster and the “Wyeth problem,” both events that led to crippling or death of vaccine recipients just weeks following the hurried vaccine licensing – could have been averted.
“Previously it [the vaccine] had been distributed as an experimental product, not a licensed product…the committee was asked to come to a decision very quickly…there was discussion of the report that Dr Francis had given, but we were not in a position to discuss it very intensively because we had not seen the report prior to this morning and the report was distributed to us after the presentation…we were pressured in the sense that we were told that speed was essential, and when we came up toward the 5:00 time, some of us felt we would like to discuss this matter more. We were told that to discuss the matter further it would have to go into the following week, and we would have to go to Washington or Bethesda and most of the members were unwilling to do so. We were in effect pressured into an earlier decision than we ordinarily would have made. …It was part of the pressure of events, put it that way.[5]”
And that is only the beginning of the polio story, the likes of which currently serve as the foundation of modern belief in vaccination, even by those who may have doubts regarding current vaccine policy.
No vaccines are safe. Having “efficacy” means an antibody response is generated, not that they keep you from getting sick. There are many other ways to keep children healthy other than injecting them with disease matter, chemicals, animal DNA, animal proteins, detergents and surfactants that inflame and weaken the blood brain barrier, potentially causing inflammation and other problems.
Do you know how much doctors learn about vaccines in medical school? When we participate in pediatrics training, we learn that vaccines need to be given on schedule. We learn that smallpox and polio were eliminated by vaccines. We learn that there’s no need to know how to treat diphtheria, because we won’t see it again anyway. We are indoctrinated with the mantra that “vaccines are safe and effective” – neither of which is true.
Doctors today are given extensive training on how to talk to “hesitant” parents – how to frighten them by vastly inflating the risks during natural infection. They are trained on the necessity of twisting parents’ arms to conform, or fire them from their practices. Doctors are trained that NOTHING bad should be said about any vaccine, period.
Historically it has been commonplace, since the times of the deadly smallpox vaccines – to discourage or silence scholarly, thoughtful and cautious opposition to mass vaccination policies. This is politics, plain and simple, in the environment of cronyism and corporatism that has invaded the supposed health-care industry.
The opinions of learned anti-vaccinationist doctors are not permitted on CNN, Fox News, or in mainstream literature. Probably because if they were broadcast on such media outlets, the unsuspecting public would do an about-face. Instead, the publicity that mainstream media concedes, often involves a parent who is opposed to vaccination, after a child becomes vaccine-injured, matched up with a celebrity talking-head doctor. Dr. Stork had an all-out tantrum after JB Handley got some sense interjected (from the audience!) during Jenny McCarthy’s invite (video).
For now, let’s just ignore Dr. Sears’ utter delusion over the history of vaccination and the decline in infectious disease. Having JB Handley on the program with the audience clapping for him, without editing him, was an unusual event. The standard approach on commercial television is to pretend that there is no anti-vaccinationist doctor to match the celebrity doctor, or those of the Paul Offit genre. Therefore, they can only invite and publicly defeat those whom they underestimate. Cheers to JB for getting an edge in. This is simply how the game of vaccination has always been played; keep the opinions of thoughtful and informed doctors and scientists out of the way of the cameras and peer-reviewed journals, and only allow the anti-vaccine perspective limited representation.
If you have doubts on the safety and effectiveness of vaccination, please keep your curiosity up, since the lives of your children may depend on it. You will probably have much deprogramming to do, just like most of us.

Cheers for J. B. Handley. Wow, that anger coming out of that doctor Stork that really shows where he is at. Don't interfere with his MONEY making! Vaccines are what makes these doctors money. They don't make anybody healthier, or prevent anything at all.
Autism rate for the Amish communities, 0 in 100. Rates for the rest of the nation, 1 in 100.
It is interesting to me how hatefully the Dr. on the stage reacted. He says, "All you're doing is antagonizing the medical community who wants to help these kids!" OK, so if you want to help children, let's start by using logic. If you put noxious substances into their little bodies, you will get noxious results. It seems logical that if you give a child clean water, fresh air and food free from chemicals and pesticides (even if not "organic") they will be healthier than a child that receives the following Vaccine Ingredients: DPT diptheria bacterium, pertussis organisms, tetanus toxoid, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, formaldehyde, hydrochloric acid, aluminium and mercury. Here is a link to the CDC website showing current vaccine ingredients: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloa… A quick google of each of the ingredients yields tons of scientific data on the neurotoxicity of many of the ingredients, the warning AGAINST ingestion or contact with many of the other ingredients, and the documented side effects of contact with each of these ingredients.
Therefore, simply logic….garbage in, garbage out. Bad chemicals like mercury (thimerasol), aluminum, Amorphous Aluminum Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate, Formaldehyde or Formalin, Monosodium Glutamate (not just for chinese restaurants, anymore! Why is a flavor enhancer in a vaccine?) These are just a smidgeon of the vaccine ingredients which even the CDC publishes on their website. How can anyone expect good health to result from injection of any of these ingredients by themselves, let alone the cumulative effect of 3, 4 or 5 of these vaccines in a single doctor visit for a 2 month old baby?
Or, if we support our miraculous bodies and immune systems, strengthening them by eating good food (vegetables, not doritos!), drinking pure water, access to fresh air and sunshine…which scenario has the best likelihood for the best outcome?
It is a very simple equation, when you do the math. Each new vaccine offers BILLIONS of dollars in market share, with ZERO product liability. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that even if the vaccine manufacturer knew a safer way to manufacturer, not only do they not have to do so, but they have zero product liability, regardless. In fact, due to special interest groups and lobbyists, it is the American taxpayer who foots the bill. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was put in place to receive the product liability claims of vaccine injured people and children. Therefore, if you or your loved one are injured by the vaccine, the manufacturer doesn't pay even one penny! The burden for the health care costs are born by all of us in the form of higher premiums for private pay and higher taxes to cover the medicaid burden of the one out of 90 children who now have autism.
Further math: the Gardasil vaccine costs $107 per dose, 3 dose series. Plus the doctor visits to receive it, of course. So, roughly, $600 coming in to the manufacturer and the administering doctor. Search youtube for Gardasil reactions or gardasil deaths and prepare to be shocked at the number of girls harmed by this vaccine for cervical cancer…which is now recommended for boys, who have no cervix. Brilliant. NONE of these girls, even the ones who died from Gardasil, can sue the manufacturer. The manufacturer (Merck) gets a complete pass, while you and I pay for the long term care and disability payments for these children and their families.
I ask you, if Firestone manufacturers a tire which is unsafe and people are hurt or killed, can you sue them? YES! And when they lose money in the lawsuit, is that not an incentive for them to produce a better product? YES! Not so with vaccines.
By the way, no one is required to get vaccines, even to go to school. Every state has an exemption, whether medical, philosophical or religious. The Supreme Court has ruled that you don't need to belong to any particular religion to use this exemption. I have nine children, none of them have ever received even one vaccine. Never. Yet all who are old enough have attended elementary, middle, high school and college as they have grown. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
Fight back. Your life depends on it!
"By the way, no one is required to get vaccines, even to go to school. Every state has an exemption, whether medical, philosophical or religious."
So how does one get a medical exemption in a state that doesn't allow philosophical or religious if you can't find a doctor willing to admit vaccines have ALREADY caused harm to your child? Or if you haven't had any vaccines to find out if they should be medically exempted?
Lucy, i love your post! i just friended you on fb, if you don't mind. i have 3 month old but planning to have more children (3+). so, i might have some questions!
Just to add to your Gardasil comment, Gardasil is suppose to prevent the spread of HPV and supposedly the strains that cause cervical cancer-however-I would like to know how they can say that administering Gardasil to males is effectively reducing the spread of HPV that causes cervical cancer by decreasing male to female transmission when there is NO TEST for HPV in males unless they have Genital warts which is a different strain than the strain that causes cervical cancer-but I'm sure this won't be the last STD we develop a vaccine for-who needs to teach kids safe sex or to abstain-just shoot them up with a vaccine-it's ok if they develop a false sense of safety and not even think about condoms b/c -hey…I was vaccinated!!!
A huge thank you to Dr. Suzanne Humphries for putting herself out there and sharing some amazingly good information/research. And Dr. Stork throwing a fit is just icing on the cake. Thanks for that!
Whenever I see an "MD" saying that they are unable to distinguish conditions like chronic fatigue, bacterial meningitis and epidemic cholera from paralytic poliomyelitis, I wonder why the entry qualifications for medschool entry have dropped lower than those for burger flipping.
Hey dingo. Nobody says they can't distinguish. But before the polio vaccine doctors weren't required to distinguish. It was recommended to report anything that looked like poliomyelitis as polio. Get it??
Plus they keep changing the criteria for diagnoses. I myself from medicinal chemistry school that you were taught that drugs were good and VERY rarely told about the harm they do. I'll always remember being told that the "drugs hijack the body's receptors" I know honesty. I did an immunology class and we were taught suprisingly little on jabs.
I am so glad I suddenly queried jabs myself right in the middle of my training, turns out I was right.
J xxxxxxx
Thankyou for this.. Ive been looking for a considered rebuf to my 72 year old mother who insists she saw the death of polio due to vaccines!!!
Dr. Suzanne,
Thanks for telling the facts surrounding polio, in particular the role that toxins played in it, and what's going on to hide it's re-appearance in Third World countries where children are vaccinated against it and still getting polio–probably from the vaccine.
However, there is another even more sinister problem with the polio vaccine(s) that millions of children received in the 1950s and 1960s about which I wrote at http://vactruth.com/2011/04/09/polio-vaccine-sv40… The 'Unknown' About Polio Vaccine: SV40 and Cancer.
If nothing, the fact that millions of American children were injected with an obvious cancer-causing agent–as verified in Congressional hearings; see my article for the details–may be a clue as to why cancer is so prevalent today.
Personally, Dr. Suzanne, I wish more MDs would think like you do. Thanks for all you do to bring a sense of sanity–and science–to the mad, mad world of vaccines and vaccinations.
Its really shocking all these facts although i have been reading, for years, the danger of vaccinination!
Thank you Dr Suzanne . And I make my words, Catherine Frompovich's words.
Thank you, I couldn't have said it better.
I trained in pediatrics and find it appalling that we received zero training on vaccines other than the schedule.
doctors who claim to know better than patients are fantasizing and need to really think about their adamant stance.
It's pure ideology and absolutely nothing to do with science
You are all crazy.
Now there is a great intellect. Thanks "Guest". That was gutsy! Cheers.
Go back to jerry springer…..this is for grown ups
Anti-vaccionationists need to visit countries where vaccine-preventable illnesses still circulate, where as a result of missed vaccine opportunities these illnesses still occur. I have seen a recent measles epidemic in my own backyard and it is not pleasant. Please try to refrain from focussing on the minutiae and keep an eye on the bigger picture.
Measles is not an epidemic!!!!! It is an inconvenience to parents. Yes, some do get REALLY sick from it, but the same (if not a higher ratio) get sick from vaccines. Same with chicken pox. Parental convenience vs children health is what it is, plain and simple. Most of the countries that still have these issues do so because they CHOOSE not to help sanitize their country and upgrade their medical communities to help those who DO get sick. Yes they CHOOSE not to because of corruption, greed and unwillingness to get help from other places (i.e. AIDS in africa and refusal to wear condoms). They flat out REFUSE the help/get help. Yes they will let doctors come in and “treat” them on occasion, but when monetary aid is given, whether for education/food irrigation/sanitation/health, it is wasted more often than not.
Possibly the good doctors frustrations will lead him to actually do some digging into the topic instead of towing the party line.
People are angry, and antagonize because you Dr.s dont say that it is unknown if there is a connection to autism and other disorders because of a trigger from vaccines. You Dr's tell the public not to worry, the science is in, when you havent even done any research on the subject! thats why we are pissed- Dr. Stork, you were exposed for being uninformed, and shooting your mouth off. thats why you got angry, you were embarrassed-
You all are very crazy
And you are very deep, courageous, intellectual and introspective.
As far as I am concerned, there was no attack! You can only "feel" attacked if you believe what the alleged attacker is saying, to be true!! God forbid that doctors lose credibility when patients find out that they have been lied to just so the doctors can keep their pockets lined with blood money!!
Keep speaking the truth! Please help expose how vaccinations are also used by the NWO to inject thought-controlling nanobots into our children's bloodstreams. This is a less covered aspect of the vaxapologist conspiracy, but I think it's one of the most important.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s when people with polio were a common sight. I was one of the first to receive the Salk vaccine. I almost never see polio victims anymore. I believe what my eyes show me. That vaccinations prevent outbreaks of contagious, potentially-harmful diseases.
You may not see what you would have thought was polio back then. But many different diseases and chemicals caused what was called “polio” back then. All that limped and needed an iron lung was not caused by a virus in the gut called polio. Today, the iron lung looks different and paralysis is treated differently and thus appears clinically differently. Sister Kenny revolutionized the treatment of paralysis and had a great impact on outcomes, and on current treatment. In some cases vaccines do prevent some disease, like chicken pox, but they are not necessary and the overall cost to society and to the immune system makes it a deal breaker.
Dr. Suzanne, I'm curious why you only posted the graph from 1996 – 2010. Would it not be more instructive and convincing to post a graph showing the entirety of the data, i.e. starting before the introduction of the polio vaccine? At least, would it be more honest?
Go and check the WHO website. Those are the years for which there are official data.
Dear George
Since WHO only officially kept AFP statistics within that time frame, it wasn't possible to do an analysis before that.
And even if you could have done, what makes you think that the graph would have been any more flattering (not) to polio, than it is, within that short time frame?
Dr Suzanne
If you have ever seen your 10 week old grand daughter near death and you are being told she has brain damage (and you know that she was healthy until he got her 5in1 Pentacel vaccine shot), you will quickly understand why we are all so upset and angry with the doctors. Especially doctors who think they know it all and stick their head in the sand when it comes to vaccines because they were all taught in medical school that vaccines safe lives and are save. Bull! They endanger children's brains! Their ingredients are neuotoxic.I don't need to go to medical school to know that mercury and aluminum is toxic and cannot ever have a good effect on a 10 week old baby's brain. Thank God for Doctos like Dr. Humphries who are honest and have realized that vaccines are dangerous and mostly useless and that there are better ways to treat these illnesses vaccines are supposed to prevent. TO ALL OTHER DOCTORS I SAY: read the research, don't just skim over it and pretend you read it. You need to study it THOROUGHLY. It's a lot of reading and we all know doctors have no more time to read. BUT THIS IS TRULY IMPORTANT.
In 1955 I worked at a Children's Hospital in CT. The wards were full of children who were quadraplegics, patraplegics, or affected with lesser muscle involvement due to polio.That year the polio vaccine was initiated. The following year, 1966, only a handfull of children were admitted with a diagnosis of polio. There was no guadraplegia or paraplegia and the new polio victims were rehabilitated with relative ease.. My own children were given polio vaccine, DPTs, and all the traditionally recommended vaccines. I am totally against Gardasil, but that's a societal problem and promiscuity.
One more thing June. The change in treatment on paralysis may have also had an impact on what you saw. Earlier in polio epidmeics, limbs were casted and immobilized. Later it was found that doing that actually cemented the paralysis in place and that heating and mobilizing and stretching, massaging the limbs led to better recovery. Sister Kenny was a pioneer in this change and came to the USA and was warmly welcomed, after being shunned in her native country. There was a lot shifting and changing and more than just a vaccine was happening. And what epidemic can you expect to be wiped out in one year of vaccination? We know that polio vaccine in 1955 was not a powerful and long lasting vaccine and that many children lost immunity after one year and some never mounted an immune response at all.
Dear June. The key in your comment is that in 1966 only a handful of children were admitted with a DIAGNOSIS of polio. As for your anecdotal experience, I cannot comment upon that as far as quadraplegia is concerned. The history of polio is complicated and what happened with the diagnosing is too. The total cases did go down because they changed how polio was diagnosed and cut out over half of the cases that otherwise would have been called polio. The vaccine in 1955 was full of live polio virus and this actually caused the paralytic incidence to rise within the greater statistics of falling polio diagnoses. It is all documented in the PSU reports and I will be revealing all that information in due time. What you may know about the Cutter incident is only a small part of the bigger picture of what happened under the radar. Later, it was revealed that Wyeth had much the same issue but I was covered up by Alexander Langmuir. Thanks for your comment.
