(NaturalNews) On the National Network for Immunization Information (NNII) website there is a page For Parents which touts "Vaccine Effectiveness." It asks the question Do Vaccines Work? and gives an unequivocal yes along with several supposed proofs of this assertion. Let's consider the so-called proof that the NNII offers and then look at the truth, most of which is unwittingly told by the NNII and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) themselves, in their own data.

Hib

According to the NNII, Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib) caused 20,000 infections in children each year before 1985 and then was miraculously nearly eradicated by 1995 thanks to a vaccine. The reality is quite different. The study which the NNII references as being proof of this miracle of modern medical science doesn't refer to the numbers of Hib cases, but instead claims to get its numbers from another study which only talks about the "cost-effectiveness" of the new vaccine.¹ In fact, there are no records of Hib infection rates before 1980 because the NNII themselves admit that they can only make a guess. Why? Because Hib was most often diagnosed as meningitis or pneumonia, not influenza.

Rubella

Next up is rubella (aka the German measles). The NNII says that in the epidemic of 1964-65 there were 12.5 million cases of rubella, and it then claims that by 2009, rubella had been almost defeated with only 9 cases left thanks to heavy vaccination for the sickness. The reality?

The European-North American epidemic of rubella in 1962-1965 was indeed a massive outbreak of the disease. However, except in cases where pregnant women catch it, it is not a debilitating or even serious disease and usually doesn't even require hospitalization.² In short, it's a flu-like sickness that doesn't last long and has no long-term effect.

Rubella is a relatively new disease (to science), having only been discovered in 1938 and not lab cultured until 1962. Many cases of rubella were diagnosed as being the measles before it could be cultured and tested for.

Measles

Of course, then the NNII brings up measles, saying that before 1963, there were 500 deaths a year from this disease. Supposedly, with their glorious vaccine, measles was down to 44 cases a year by 2004. They leave out something very important. From 1912-1963, measles rates dropped by 98.6% and 500 deaths per year, while horrible, was less than 1 of every 100,000 people in the U.S. Statistically non-existent.³

It's well-established, thanks to the CDC's own record keeping, that the measles were well on their way out of our lives long before the vaccine for them appeared. Again, by 1963 when the vaccine was introduced, measles rates had already dropped by more than 98% and the decline after the vaccine's introduction was no faster than it was before.⁴

In our next segment, we'll continue looking at the NNII's claims.

Debunk the Vaccine Lies of the NNII, Part II

(NaturalNews) In our last segment, we looked at the claims of the National Network for Immunization Information's (NNII) claims for vaccine effectiveness. We continue where we left off.

Polio

This is one disease for which vaccination nearly always gets the credit for its removal. In 1952, according to the NNII, 21,000 people had polio in the U.S. In 2002, polio was non-existent here. What is missing here is the fact that when the vaccine was introduced in 1947, it actually caused polio rather than "cured" it and when the new version in 1952 was released, polio was already on its way out. Mostly thanks to changes in diagnosis and treatment.⁵

Polio was the first major public health "crisis" in America and major propaganda campaigns were waged to alert people to its danger. This despite the fact that such a tiny percentage of the population was susceptible to or infected with the disease.

Pertussis

This is a timely one due to the current outbreak on the west coast. The NNII says that in the early 1940s, there were 8,000 deaths due to pertussis and by 2002, there were no deaths from the disease. Again, as with the measles, this is a blatant manipulation of statistics. It's what they're not showing you that counts. Pertussis (whooping cough) from 1861-1955 (the year the vaccine was introduced) had already decreased by 99.6% in Europe and from 1900 to 1949 by 96% in the U.S.^{4, 5} Then the vaccine came along to take the credit.

Diphtheria

Throwing out a best guess, the NNII claims that in the 1920s there were 100,000 to 200,000 cases of diphtheria in the U.S. annually. 13,000 died from the disease, they say. In 2002, there was only one case of diphtheria in the U.S. Again, this is a disease that was well on the decline before the magic potion (err.. vaccine) appeared. From 1900-1949, diphtheria death rates had dropped by 99%.⁴ Then, as usual, a vaccine appeared to take the credit for what was already done.

Manipulation, Lies, and Half-Truths

Most of the information given on the NNII's page for parents to convince us that vaccination saves lives and is the only thing keeping an epidemic of dead bodies littering the streets is bogus. The numbers and data presented are manipulated to make them appear in favor of vaccines while still holding an air of legitimacy.

If diseases do make a resurgence and begin to come to us in waves of epidemics, it won't be because we were not properly vaccinated, as the NNII suggests. No, it will be because we are, as a population, undernourished, filled with toxins and poisons, and have been listening to the lies and misleading half-truths of the NNII, the CDC, and others who tell us that poison is OK while healthful choices are psychotic.

It's time for us to take over our own lives and think for ourselves. We know the truth. The sooner we stand up for ourselves and take charge of our own destinies, the sooner we can tell these corporate shills to take their poisons and choke on them.

We'll never become sustainable, we'll never begin to repair the environment, and we'll never begin to restore our own health until we finally shuck the chains of the Industrial-Pharma-Agra-Governmental complex that enslaves us.
