(NaturalNews) It's taken as an article of
faith that vaccinations have improved our
lifespan. We take our children to the
doctor for their injections without question.
We think of ourselves as bad parents if we
don't. It's simply one of those things that
we don't question, as if it's obvious. It's
gone so far now that, as has been so well
documented on NaturalNews, parents are
threatened with prison, and their children
are forced to get vaccinations at gunpoint

The reality, as documented by the American Medical Association's own journal (JAMA) in the
January 1999 issue, is that there is no connection between death from infectious diseases and
vaccinations; that's right, "none".

Childhood Vaccinations Hoax - Not Effective and at Worst, Harmful
http://www.naturalnews.com/022617.html
First, let's look at the dates for when vaccinations were first introduced in the United States,
according to the Centers for Disease Control:
Featured Videos
* Measles (one of the Ms of the MMR vaccination): 1963
* Mumps (the other M of the MMR vaccination): 1967
* Chickenpox: 1995
* Diphtheria (the D of the DPT vaccination): First licensed in 1921, but not widely used until the
1930's
* Pertussis (whooping cough, the P of the DPT vaccination): First developed in the 1930's,
widely used by the mid-1940's
* Tetanus (the T of the DPT vaccination): First used as a childhood vaccine in the 1940's.
* Rubella (German measles, the R of the MMR vaccination): 1969

There are several others, of course, but they are either too recent to take into account or not
truly associated with childhood illnesses, such as smallpox and polio, which are more
appropriately considered epidemic diseases.
The JAMA Study
The number of deaths from nine different infectious diseases, in some cases, groups of
diseases, were tallied. They are:

Results of the JAMA Study
With the exception of 1918, when the influenza epidemic struck, the rate of deaths from
infectious diseases show a fairly smooth rate of decrease from 1900 through 1980, at which

http://www.naturalnews.com/022617.html
point a slight rate of increase develops. This link shows the associated JAMA graph:
((http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/fu...) .
Deaths graphed by groups of diseases show some variations, but interestingly, the most
significant improvements are in typhus and dysentery
((http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/fu...) . Both of these diseases show almost no deaths
after 1960. Interestingly, there is no vaccination for dysentery and most people are not
vaccinated for typhus.
Tuberculosis rates show a curve similar to the overall infectious disease rate. The death rate
from pneumonia and influenza from 1970 through 1996 shows a general increase, in spite of
the ongoing vaccinations for influenza and the introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 1977 and
1983.
Diphtheria shows its greatest decrease of deaths prior to 1920. There was a spike in diphtheria
deaths during the early 1920's, shortly after the vaccination was introduced, and then the rate
of decrease continued as before the vaccination's introduction. Whooping cough (pertussis)
and measles showed the same general trend of decrease during the 20th century.
Finally, take a look at the chart for death rates from all disease causes
((http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/fu...) . From 1900 through the 1920's, the infectious
disease rate goes down at an impressive pace. This is a time during which there were no
vaccinations against childhood diseases. The rate of decrease of deaths from 1940 through
1960 continues at about the same pace. Then, it starts to level out, in spite of the fact that the
vast majority of children are vaccinated during this time.
Now, take a look at the same graph showing the death rates from all causes. This should
make you nervous. The rate of death from all disease decreases slightly from 1900 through
1920. However, after this, when vaccinations start to be introduced, the death rate from
noninfectious causes starts to increase. It isn't a huge amount, but it's definitely there. Most
significantly, the increase in death rate from noninfectious causes starts when vaccinations are
introduced.
What Can Explain the Reduction in Infectious Disease Rates?
Since it's obvious from the AMA's own documentation that vaccinations have little or no effect
on the outcome of infectious disease deaths, then there must be other issues at play. If one
looks at the history of the 20th century in the U.S. then it isn't too difficult to see what has
changed. This was the era of improved overall hygiene and adequate food.
It was when clean and abundant water became the norm. It was when systems to clean wastes
from public water supplies became standard. It was when septic and sewer systems to
separate people from disease-producing wastes were introduced. It was a time of relative
plenty, when people grew larger because of adequate food. In other words, it was a time of
relative wealth and public works for good water and sewage treatment.
This is the most likely reason behind the decrease in infectious diseases, not the medical
system's vaunted vaccinations.
Why Are We Vaccinating Against Childhood Diseases?
This is the multi-billion dollar question. Parents usually have their children vaccinated because
the idea of not doing it simply doesn't occur. We have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the
concept of “deadly” childhood diseases. Yet, there is no documentation showing that death
rates from these diseases have been improved by vaccinations. As the data from the AMA
itself shows, there is every reason to believe that these vaccinations are not effective, that we
need to look to other reasons for the decrease in these disease deaths.
Even more significantly, the AMA's own data shows a possible link between an increase in

Childhood Vaccinations Hoax - Not Effective and at Worst, Harmful
http://www.naturalnews.com/022617.html
death coinciding with vaccinations. Whether this is a cause-and-effect link is not proven at this
time. However, with the AMA's record of not looking into the effects of vaccinations - of not
even requiring that after-effects be reported - it's clear that the allopathic (standard) medical
system is not going to sort this out. That leaves us with no option but to assume the worst - that
childhood vaccinations not only do little or no good, but they may be doing great harm.
The question, of course, is “Why?” As with any corporate-controlled business (and make no
mistake, the medical industry is big business) the answer always goes back to the same thing:
money. Filthy lucre. There are millions and billions of dollars, pounds, euros, and other
currencies to be made by both the pharmaceutical firms and the doctors themselves.
The Bottom Line
For the medical industry, the bottom line is the bottom line. For each of us and for our children,
the bottom line is completely different. It's the quality of our lives. In the end, the only ones who
must live with the results of vaccinations are the children and adults whose bodies have been
pierced by the needles injecting them.
Addendum
This article focused on the most common childhood vaccines, the ones noted for childhood
diseases and also the ones that have existed for the greatest amount of time. However,
readers may find the following information about when vaccines have been introduced to be of
interest:
* Anthrax: November 20, 2002
* Hepatitis A: HAVRIXR vaccine in 1995, VAQTAR vaccine in 1996
* Hepatitis B: First in 1982; in 1986 a recombinant DNA vaccine issued; in 1989 a second
recombinant DNA vaccine issued
* Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b, not a true influenza virus, but a bacterium): First
licensed in 1985, but a “new improved” form licensed in 1987
* HPV (Human papillomavirus): June 8, 2006
* Influenza: First introduced in 1945; ongoing updates developed year after year in attempt to
keep up with viral changes
* Meningococcus: First in 1974 against one of five major subtypes; others introduced 1981 and
2005 for original subtype and three others; no vaccine exists for fifth subtype (B), which is the
cause of 65% of meningitis cases under age 2
* Pneumonia: 1977 for 14 types of bacterial pneumonia; 1983 “improved” vaccine for 23 types
of bacteria; a specific vaccine aimed at children under age 2 developed in 2000
* Polio: Jonas Salk killed virus vaccine in 1955; live vaccine in 1961; “enhanced formulation”
introduced in 1988. Note that the death rate from polio had already decreased dramatically, to
a tiny fraction of where it had been at the beginning of the century, before the vaccine's
introduction.
* Rotavirus: February 2006
* Zoster (shingles): May 26, 2006
