Vaccine Safety

The majority of polio cases actually do not cause symptoms in those who are infected. Symptoms occur in only approximately 5 percent of infections with a case fatality rate of only about 0.4%. Even during the peak epidemics, poliovirus infection resulting in long-term paralysis, was a low-incidence disease that was falsely represented as a rampant and violent paralytic disease by fund raising advertising campaigns to fast track development and approval and release of the Salk vaccine with Rockefeller as the key supporter. Because of outside pressure, the US licensing committee in charge of approving the vaccine did so after deliberating for only two hours without first having read the full research..

This hasty approval led to the infamous “Cutter Incident”,¹⁾²⁾³⁾ the poliomyelitis epidemic that was initiated by the use of the Salk vaccine produced by Cutter vaccine company. In the end, at least 220,000 people were infected with live polio virus contained in the Cutter’s vaccine; 70,000 developed muscle weakness, 164 were severely paralyzed, 10 were killed. Seventy five percent of Cutter’s victims were paralyzed for the rest of their lives. When national immunization campaigns were initiated in the 1950s, the number of reported cases of polio following mass inoculations with the killed-virus vaccine was significantly greater than before mass inoculations and may have more than doubled in the U.S. as a whole. ⁴⁾

In a strikingly prescient article dated July 23, 2020, Paul Danish wrote “The Cutter incident: A cautionary tale for Operation Warp Speed” in the Boulder Weekly.⁵⁾

One study by James Lyons-Weiler, PhD and Dr. Russell Blaylock and an earlier one by Dr. Paul Thomas show that unvaccinated children are healthier than vaccinated children.⁷⁾ This does not necessarily mean that no vaccines have a positive risk-benefit profile, but calls into question much of the research by vaccines in general.

Researchers have found numerous metals and other contaminants in vaccines.⁸⁾
