Necessity

On childhood vaccination

Once I realised that childhood vaccination was not safe and effective, I realised that safe and effective was language designed to “construct ignorance” [a subject I’ve only recently understood].

The ignorance constructed in that framing was that of “necessity”. We have been trained to not think about it.

The correct way to think about ALL medical intervention is through the 3-legged stool framework:

This way of thinking is a cornerstone of the 3 legged stool model of deciding whether to vaccinate your child or not.

1.    Necessity

2.    Safety

3.    Effectiveness

If anyone of these legs falls over, then the whole stool falls over and you shouldn’t vaccinate. Understanding the absolute risk of a disease is the cornerstone of coming to terms with the Necessity leg of the stool.

Injecting babies with chemicals to pre-emptively protect them in the very distant future in case they step on a rusty nail is profoundly stupid on the “buyers” part and profoundly evil on the “sellers” part.

Snake oil at its very best. Is that where all this comes from? Is it the long tail of a Mississippi river snake-oil sales culture?

If something is not necessary, then it doesn’t matter whether it is safe and effective. Full stop.

I was talking to a friend recently, a new father who has been looking for an honest doctor, and he said that the necessity point really struck a chord with him. I was glad to hear it. But more on my friend a bit later.

I don’t see many people writing about Necessity, which is why I was so taken by this brilliant article that Amelia [thank you] brought to my attention. I haven’t come across Davis Taylor before, but this piece is simply excellent. Here is the section on Necessity:

There’s been no showing of necessity for the childhood vaccines.

The newly outraged are irate that COVID-19 vaccines were added to the childhood schedule despite an obvious lack of necessity for children’s health. According to the schedule, COVID-19 vaccines are to be given to babies beginning at 6 months of age. What could be worse than giving a child a vaccine it doesn’t need with potential adverse effects at 6 months of age? Giving a child such a vaccine at birth is worse, like is done with the hepatitis B vaccine.

The CDC recommends a hepatitis B vaccine at birth, 1-2 months of age, and 6-18 months of age and nearly all states mandate the vaccine for school attendance. These are clearly unnecessary vaccinations.

Hepatitis B is not spread through casual contact. It’s spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected and this can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth. Therefore, newborns are generally at no risk of getting hepatitis B unless their mothers harbor the virus, which can be determined through routine prenatal blood testing. Further, hepatitis B vaccines given to newborns are expected to wear off before the age of any likely exposure to the hepatitis B virus.

It’s also impossible to comprehensively cover the issue of the lack of necessity for the childhood vaccines in one article There’s far too much to review. This lack of necessity discussion began with the first vaccine children receive according to the CDC’s schedule, but one could throw a dart at the schedule and land on a vaccine with plenty of facts to work with to show lack of necessity. Below are examples of articles and videos touching upon the lack of necessity issue with respect to a few more of the childhood vaccines: chickenpox, DTaP and HPV.

•An October 4, 2019 article posted by Children’s Health Defense entitled “Chickenpox: The Dirty Dozen Facts You Should Know Before Vaccinating” contains information demonstrating the lack of necessity for children to be vaccinated for chickenpox, including discussion of the low risk posed by the disease. The article also discusses problems associated with mass vaccination for chickenpox, such as an increase in the rate of shingles infections. Nearly all states mandate the chickenpox vaccine for schoolchildren.

•A February 2, 2023 segment of The HighWire (HW) (Episode 305) discusses research which indicates that being vaccinated for pertussis (with the DTaP vaccine) makes children more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, not less, which certainly refutes any argument that it’s necessary for children’s health to be vaccinated for the disease. The segment also discusses research which indicates that being vaccinated for pertussis unknowingly makes one an infected, asymptomatic carrier of the disease. All states mandate the DTaP vaccine upon schoolchildren.

•A March 9, 2023 interview of attorney Michael Baum by Del Bigtree (HW Episode 310) discusses information which clearly establishes a lack of necessity for children to receive the HPV vaccine (i.e., clinical trials never tested for whether vaccination actually prevents cervical cancer, there’s been no showing that cervical cancer rates have dropped as a result of HPV vaccination, most HPV infections clear from the body naturally, cervical cancer is largely treatable if caught early and is effectively detected through yearly pap smears, the vaccines only create antibodies to a small number of the HPV strains that exist, and use of the vaccines create a strain replacement issue). As an aside, the proposed California legislation (CA AB 659) discussed in HW Episode 310 has been amended since the episode, to shift the proposed HPV vaccine mandate from eighth graders to college students. The amendments to the bill are discussed in HW Episode 312. Four jurisdictions already mandate the HPV vaccine for schoolchildren.

Lack of necessity is not just a problem with respect to the individual vaccines on the childhood schedule, but also with respect to the entire schedule. The CDC has never conducted a study comparing the health of children vaccinated in accordance with the schedule with that of unvaccinated children. Unfortunately for the CDC, others have done so. Below are a couple of examples of what’s been found.

•A study published in April of 2017 comparing 650 vaccinated and unvaccinated homeschooled children in the US found that, compared to completely-unvaccinated children, fully-vaccinated children had increased risks for allergies, ADHD, autism, eczema, learning disabilities, and neuro-developmental delay. Additionally, fully vaccinated-pre-term infants were found to have an increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders compared to completely unvaccinated preterm infants.

•A study published in November of 2020 concerning a retrospective analysis of the health records of approximately 3,300 children covering a period of about ten years compared the health outcomes of the children (unvaccinated v. vaccinated to varying extents) and found that the unvaccinated children were significantly healthier. The vaccinated children were diagnosed with a broad range of conditions at much higher rates than their unvaccinated counterparts and saw a doctor markedly more often than the unvaccinated children. Jeremy R. Hammond has discussed the study in depth in his June 14, 2021 article posted on CHD and in his book, The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board. Pay no mind to the fact that the study was retracted after publication. A follow up study was conducted which demonstrated that the purported basis for the retraction was unfounded. Even the newly outraged have come to understand that retraction is being used as a tool to unfairly delegitimize those putting forth findings that conflict with Big Pharma’s narrative.

In 2023, evidence which refutes the notion that vaccination makes children healthier keeps rolling in. A 2023 study using 2019 data found a positive statistical correlation between infant mortality rates and the number of vaccine doses received by the infants. The study confirmed findings made by the same researchers about a decade ago using 2009 data.

I think one of the reasons people struggle with Necessity is that it is a probabilistic risk assessment that is difficult to find your peace with even if you had good data, which often we don’t.

In May 2022, I wrote this, and on re-reading it, it holds up. The shape of the point, and the numbers are right.

So, how to think about it. Here is one way.

The RISK of living in Australia is 1 in 156. There are 25m people and about 160k die each year. That’s nationally 1 in 156. But we know that the risk is heavily concentrated towards the very old. I don’t know the exact numbers but I’m going to use pareto style logic to at least articulate the shape of the argument. I’m going to use 90/10 as my rule.

Let’s say that 90% of the risk of death is in the oldest 10% of the population which is about 73 years old and above.

So, all below 73 have only 10% of the risk of dying FROM ALL THINGS.

That means out of 22.5m (90% of 25m) 16,000 will die (10% of 160k) which equals 1 in 1,406.

Obviously as you get younger these odds exponentially improve.

For the sake of argument, I’m going to say that 1 in 5,000 risk of dying from something is my THRESHOLD OF NECESSITY before I’m prepared to hear arguments about injecting myself and others with any chemical brew. Even then I might decide it is not necessary that the risks and too great. But if I have to pick a number, I’ll go with 1 in 5,000 for now.

There is NOT A SINGLE DISEASE on the vaccination schedule that poses an Absolute Risk below that number. If there is, please point me to the numbers so I can eat humble pie and rewrite this post.

The medical establishment has convinced us that aspiring to zero risk is the right goal. But once you stop to think about that for a moment you will realise that it’s simply stupid.

This zero-riskism, or Safetyism, is most weaponised when it comes to our babies. The love and concern for our children is weaponized into a zero-risk posture that convinces us that injecting them dozens of times with chemical cocktails to “eliminate” the risk of them dying from a menu of diseases, is not only the right thing to do, but the only sane thing.

Back to my friend. He went to see a doctor at a clinic that was supposedly open minded to parents with unvaccinated children. I know that one of the doctors their most definitely is, but he was booked out for 6 months (!) [surprise, surprise], so he saw someone else, who gave him the corporate line. Followed up by an email about the risks of diseases that he should consider vaccinating against and information on the aluminum containing 6-in-1 Infanrix Hexa shot for Diphtheria, Haemophilus Influenzae B, Hep B, Pertussis, Polio, Tetanus, Pertussis.

The email included a copied and pasted dollop of data from some government website about 12 diseases with tetanus as the low end and pertussis at the high end and a slew of morbidity in between. Here are the two book ends of the list:

• Pertussis: 7,773 notifications in NSW 2019-2022

• Tetanus: 2 notifications in NSW 2019-2023

Just to be clear, my friend explained to this doctor his valid concerns about aluminium and autism [having read Handley]. Yet he was still pushing an aluminium shot.

There are two points I want to make here:

First: in a discussion about Necessity, a discussion the doctor is clearly not used to, he resorted to throwing a bunch of numbers around. No context, just numbers by the kilo.

Let’s look at them for a second and think about what this doctor is selling.

He is selling a 6-in-1 shot, which is obviously all the rage nowadays. This means that you have to live and die by the 3-legged stool analysis for EACH of the 6 diseases you want to protect against. Yep. If you are going to keep combining antigens into one shot, they ALL need to survive the necessity, safety, effectiveness test. That means you have 6 stools (medical interventions for 6 diseases) and 18 legs (6 x 3).

If even ONE leg falls over, the whole shot goes into the bin.

So, let’s look at Tetanus through the Necessity lens.

Tetanus: 2 notifications in NSW 2019-2023

NSW is the most populated State in Australia with a third of the country [8m people].

There were 2 (!) notifications [not deaths] over 4 years. 0.5 per year.

This isn’t childhood notifications, but ALL notifications.

So, 0.5 notification per annum for 8m people.

So, that is 1 in 16m risk of getting tetanus (not dying from it).

According to this doctor, injecting a newborn with aluminium and…

• formaldehyde

• polysorbate 80

• polysorbate 20

• polymyxin

• neomycin

…to protect against a 1 in 16m risk makes sense.

Now, I know what you are thinking, that I picked the weakest leg of the 18 legs. Yes, I get to do that, I am using the logic that they have put on the table, it’s not my logic. They created the 6-in-1 shot, not me.

But let’s go to the other end of the scale, to pertussis [whooping cough].

Pertussis: 7,773 notifications in NSW 2019-2022

Let’s do that math again.

Over 3 years that is 2,591 notifications per year, for a population of 8m, that is 1 in 3,087.

Remember that everyone is vaccinated, but there are thousands of pertussis cases each year. So much for effective.

But how many actually die from pertussis? Turns out virtually nobody. Government sites obfuscate that point. But I found the number here from 2018.

Whooping cough in Australia

It starts off with this fear porn:

The most common complication from whooping cough is pneumonia (lung infection). About 1 in 125 babies under the age of 6 months with whooping cough dies from pneumonia or brain damage.

What it really should say is “hospitalisation” with whooping cough. Just having it versus going to the hospital are two different things. But the above framing is much scarier, and frankly false.

But it goes on to tell us that:

In 2016, there were 445 hospital admissions for whooping cough in Australia, with over one-third (38%) of these in children aged under 1 year.

That means there were 169 hospital admissions for pertussis in all of Australia for kids up to 12 months.

Using the 1 in 125 death rate, that means there was 1.3 deaths in Australia in that year for babies up to 12 months old.

But the correct way to think about all of this is through the Absolute Risk lens. The risk of first getting it, to then being hospitalised, to then dying from it.

Using 2021 data, there were 1,463,817 kids between 0-4 in Australia. It simple terms, I’ll divide by 4 giving us 365,954 babies between 0-1.

That means the risk of dying in Australia from pertussis, if you are 0-1 years old, is 1 in 281,503 (365,954/1.3).

That is a very different number and framing from:

The most common complication from whooping cough is pneumonia (lung infection). About 1 in 125 babies under the age of 6 months with whooping cough dies from pneumonia or brain damage.

And from the doctor’s numbers to my mate:

Pertussis: 7,773 notifications in NSW 2019-2022

Can someone please explain to me why I would shoot up my child with 38 chemicals to protect against a 1 in 281,503 risk?

Has the Necessity case been made.

No, it hasn’t.

Before I move on let’s look at the government’s graph:

What is clear, if we have eyes to see, is that vaccination for pertussis commenced in 1942 AFTER the numbers of death had well declined. The trend was already downwards BEFORE vaccination.

More importantly the TREND did NOT change after.

The reason is that vaccination didn’t get rid of pertussis. Better hygiene, water, sewerage, food, general healthcare and work conditions did. Vaccination just came along and stole the credit.

Lastly, I want to look at the claim from the doctor to my friend where he says:

Bear in mind that most people are immunised, and therefore the risk for the unimmunised is greater than these figures would suggest.

This is an interesting line. It is false and without evidence.

It would be correct if real placebos were used in the trials of these vaccines so you could do a simple analysis with and without. But we know that not a single childhood vaccine has been tested against a saline (inert) placebo. I’ve written about it here, and I think I will revisit the subject again in another stack.

He is claiming that unvaccinated children are at higher risk, but as David Taylor explained earlier:

A February 2, 2023 segment of The HighWire (HW) (Episode 305) discusses research which indicates that being vaccinated for pertussis (with the DTaP vaccine) makes children more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, not less, which certainly refutes any argument that it’s necessary for children’s health to be vaccinated for the disease. The segment also discusses research which indicates that being vaccinated for pertussis unknowingly makes one an infected, asymptomatic carrier of the disease. All states mandate the DTaP vaccine upon schoolchildren.

And also we now have plenty of evidence that the incidence of disease is significantly lower in unvaccinated children. This is an excellent report and slides from Dr Paul Thomas.

Paul's Presentations and Supporting Materials

Here is just one of many slides:

In summary, if anyone can make the Absolute Risk (Necessity) case on even one of the childhood vaccines. I want to hear it. If it stacks up, I will publicly eat humble pie.

This article is long enough as it is, but I want to end on this note (and it’s something I will write more about).

Going down the unvaccinated path doesn’t mean your child will never get any illness. We live in the real world. The evidence backed claim is that they are MUCH less likely to get a wide range of illnesses if they are unvaccinated. But…

If they were to come down with, say, pertussis, it’s NOT because they were unvaccinated, it’s because they got very unlucky. The question is, what do you do?

It turns out that there are a range of known ways to deal with it and other childhood illnesses.

For starters you need to come to terms with the forgotten knowledge of Vitamin C. Probably the single most important subject in this whole space, and something I am overdue on writing about. The book to get and have at your disposal is:

Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins : Levy MD

Specifically on Vitamin C and pertussis, this from Dr Suzanne Humphries is a must read.

Sodium ascorbate treatment of whooping cough

You also need to get to know Robert Mendelsohn and have this book at your disposal:

How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor

Lastly you need to be comfortable using other resources to find solutions to most of your child’s issues, before you race off to the doctor to be pumped with antibiotics.

The moral of the story, is that you need to study up, get some confidence, find others on a similar journey and take responsibility for your child’s health.

We need to stop outsourcing our children’s health and wellbeing to a system that lies to us.
