Vaccines can be suitable for personal protection (eg travel to area with special risks), or "herd" protection to try and eradicate a prevailing or endemic disease or expected epidemic. Success depends on vaccine effectiveness, safety including all ingredients freedom from possible contaminants (such as HIV, simian viruses or mycoplasma), state of recipient's immune system at that age, availability of T and B lymphocytes, adequate status of minerals & vitamins such as selenium, zinc, vitamin C, E, B6 & A, genes, risk of interference from pollution by PM2.5 particulates getting into the lungs, and ability to cope with bad mixes of vaccines that compete for antibody production (eg MMR). Health follow-ups in trials before launch must be for 4 months minimum, not 4 days. If many of the population are carriers of the germ in question, it has to be considered whether it would be safer to give selenium supplements such as found successful in China rather than mass inoculation with yet more vaccines. In USA all measles victims have had MMR. In the UK 47% of recent mumps victims were presumed to have had MMR. Monkey viruses contaminating batches of oral polio vaccine were carcinogenic. HIV had contaminated batches of hepatitis-B vaccine, polio and smallpox vaccine. Smallpox vaccination in UK from 1867 & Japan from 1872 was followed by the worst epidemics in history. 90% of pertussis victims in Kansas in 1986 had had adequate vaccination with the vaccine then used. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has often occurred with 3 weeks of a thiomersal containing DTP vaccination. SIDS in the first 28 days of life often follows exposure to high PM2.5 industrial pollution. Diabetes type 1 can be caused by HiB or hepatitis B vaccinations. The thiomersal in most flu vaccines increases the incidence of Alzheimers disease 10 times compared with those who only ever have 2 annual shots. Incidence of allergic asthma rose in New Zealand only in vaccinated children, presumably due to thiomersal.

If vaccines are given too young, especially before 47 days after expected date of birth, the immune system is severely challenged and as many as 34% premature babies stopped breathing after pre-2005 DTP vaccine with thiomersal, or even died as alleged "sudden infant death syndrome" "cot death" or "shaken-baby ". In Japan the vaccination program starts at 2 years of age. It is difficult for parents to weigh up the best protection for their baby or child when political "spin" from alleged "experts" and pressure from NHS staff (aggravated by financial reward targets), in addition to censorship of the real truth, rule the UK. I am now going to present the current facts about thiomersal (mercury preservative). The US CDC had a secret meeting with officials of WHO, FDA and vaccine manufacturers in June 2000, when the proof of thiomersal in most vaccines being the cause of autism and other conditions was presented following analysis of their database of 100000 children. They decided on a malicious coverup and denial to protect drug company profits, until disclosure of documents in 2005. In the UK, Wyeth, who also makes vaccines to order, promotes health policy via a committee set up by the current prime minister. Many academics receive annual income from Glaxo and other drug companies causing immense conflicts of interest. The UK has ordered removal of thiomersal from vaccines for young children but not from tetanus or most UK flu vaccines. Thiomersal is twice as bad as industrial mercury for the brain and if cadmium or lead are also present in the body the effects are magnified 50 times. I will now explain the process of autism & multiple sclerosis & Guillain Barre Syndrome. In USA the Amish normally refuse vaccinations. Only 9 out of 100000 have autism and of these 9, many had the DTP, MMR etc vaccines while the rest had other mercury exposure from industrial PM2.5 emissions. The Amish autism rate of 1 in 11100 compares with 1 in 166 USA average and 1 in 30 Birmingham UK schoolchildren.

Mercury exposure has occurred at younger & younger ages from fish eaten by pregnant mums, air pollution around crematoria, incinerators, some cement works some power stations & thiomersal in some vaccines. Mercury opens the blood/brain & blood/bowel barrier, affects the brain, immune system and heart. A 6 month old can only cope with maximum of 62.5ug of thiomersal. Far more has been given at much younger ages at 25ug per thiomersal containing vaccine. Old stocks when thiomersal was banned have been exported to the third world. A relative shortage of zinc in the diet precludes the formation of metallothionine preventing the mercury being excreted via the urine. Mercury opens up the blood/brain and blood/bowel barriers, hypes the immune system and acts on various brain cells and processes in a harmful way. A certain herbicide, lead or cadmium exposure concurrently compounds the problem. Levels of mercury on PM2.5 particulates inhaled into the lungs of pupils at a Derbyshire school measured lug/m3. Mercury can alter gene function allowing autoimmune reactions of IgG with myelin basic protein and neurofilaments. These autoantibodies explain sensorimotor deficits and neuromuscular function. Professor Vojdani has detected antibodies to 9 neuron- specific antigens in the sera of autistic children, which explains the clinical variations. ELISA assays revealed raised serum IgA, IgM and IgG levels against the antigens.

Use of industrial hazardous (effectively waste) mixes as fuel in the UK since 1992 and especially since 1997 in incinerators, cement works, oil refineries, some trains and other industry has vastly increased PMl and PM2.5 air pollution, measured as high as 600ug/m3 in the UK (USEPA annual limit 15ug/m3). 90% of those PM1 particles are retained in the lungs being handled by macrophages and T-lymphocytes. This diversion leads to depletion of T-lymphocytes hence the victim cannot handle vaccines or infections. Studies revealed a marked drop in T-lymphocytes following MMR and Tetanus vaccines. Antibiotics given for the infections lead to alterations in bowel flora compounded by candida and/or measles virus in MMR which lead to bowel wall inflammation and leaks of bugs and small chains of amino acids called small peptide chains. If the bowel wall is inflamed less secretin is produced, then less pancreatic enzymes, so wheat & milk proteins are broken down into short peptide chains instead of separate amino acids. Mercury or similar agent then binds to these chains or bacterial antigens in the blood leading to autoimmune antibodies then carried back to the bowel wall and/or brain. Depending on the infection there will follow Autism, Aspergers, Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain Barre Syndrome or Celiac disease. Interferon gamma is increased. Earlier rubella antibodies lead to a bigger inflammatory response following MMR. There is competition between mumps & measles of MMR within the B-lymphocytes also, hence outbreaks of either disease post-MMR.

Treatment options for autistic children include zinc for 6 weeks, selenium as methionine longterm, co-enzyme Q10 to assist brain cell mitochondria function, vitamins B6, folic acid, B12, and glyconutrients (to protect cells). In USA the DAN concensus protocol of Feb.2005 amalgamates the research of 32 specialists and adds chelation to remove the mercury efficiently. Removal of dietary wheat and milk also reduce the autoantibody burden. The DAN protocol has improved up to 73% of victims.
