Off topic - but I think valuable info for many ...

We diverge from the news of basketball, NCAA, and the prolific lying and cheating...

Here's opinion on a topic that appears to "buck the system" but it is indeed an opinion that is right, well founded, and it's one that gets drowned out and rarely heard...


I know there's a possibility that all of what I say might be a moot point as many people feel their hands are tied in regards to certain state requirements for mandatory vaccinations. However, I ask that you hear me out and see if the facts that I cite don't speak strongly for a certain viewpoint that most have never heard.
I am speaking from a scientific viewpoint - and I do not have an agenda against all vaccines. All of my children have gotten every single one of their vaccine doses except for this one that I address.

This is in regard to the Hepatitis B vaccine which is mandated by the Illinois and every other state. All I ask is that you consider a few simple and well documented facts as I detail below. The references where you can view the charts and graphs are cited at the end.

--The statewide requirement for children to be vaccinated for Hepatitis B was loosely recommended in the mid-1990's but not in full effect until 1999.

--The incidence of hepatitis B is extremely low in children and always has been. Note in the enclosed copy of Figure 12. that in the "Under 15 yrs" age group it's almost non-existent and always has been since long before the vaccine was even in general use.
However - looking further at Figure 14., you see that if the age range is changed to "Under 14 yrs" then there have been essentially ZERO such cases each year...as has also been pretty much the fact going back several decades -- children basically DO NOT get this disease.
So there have been essentially NO cases -- so clearly children under 14 are NOT getting this disease at all no matter what you hear - and thus the vaccine can easily be delayed until age 15 and beyond with absolutely NO health detriment.

--Thus if nobody under 14 is really ever getting the disease, then let's look at whether there's even a chance that the vaccine is in any way responsible for the decline in cases of Hepatitis B. Contrary to many Public Health Department officials' boasts, the widespread use of the Hepatitis B vaccine did not take place until the late 1990's.

--See Figure 12. again and Figure 9. and note than overwhelmingly - the largest amount of the decline in Hepatitis B took place between 1980 and 1999 the years before the vaccine was in effect! Since 1999 in the single largest age group and the group most at risk for the disease's complications (over age 25 - which in Fig 12. is divided into two lines 25-44 and 45-and-over) the incidence actually went up for the first half of this past decade (2000-2005)! Quite a few in these age groups are now the very ones who should be showing the benefits of the vaccines they received back in the 1990's, right?? They were the very ones who had the vaccine and should now be showing declining rates. Thus I think the data argues MOST strongly that the rates for the past 30 years are FULLY independent of the vaccine and no improvements can be attributed to the vaccine. For anyone to claim so is erroneous and/or a dishonest or selective use of out-of-context facts for their own pre-determined purposes.

--Then also note that the age categories that showed virtually ALL the decline were those OVER 25 years of age -- and of course those were the people who were already well out of school by the timespan studied and none of them had gotten the vaccine anyway.
One reference page labeled Figure X. shows that only about 4000 cases of actual Hepatitis B were reported in 2006 and there was essentially zero mortality. This is just NOT a disease that requires a vast Public Health Department vaccination program! And, this is a disease that current tracking, testing, and identifying techniques would NOT miss many cases, so those numbers are accurate no matter what is said.

--Just as a side comment, note Figures 17, 18, 20, and 21. which are graphs of the HUGE decline in the cases of Hepatitis C. (a completely different disease caused by a different virus despite the roughly similar name), and we see the same with Hepatitis A - see Figure 2. Of course there is NO vaccine for this disease, yet the rates plummeted anyway, pretty much along the same time element as Hepatitis B. Isn't that strange -- could it be that we are actually seeing undeniable evidence that the Hepatitis vaccine actually has absolutely NOTHING whatsoever to do with any decline in the rates of the disease, and that much of what's being said to defend the use and widespread mandated dosing of this vaccine are complete falsehoods. If that indeed is the case, then we can further discuss why the governmental bodies would be so dishonest or irresponsible as to promote and brag about the benefits of a vaccine that actually has close to no provable benefits, but that's a different story -- it's a story of political maneuvering, under the table deals, and a desire to stroke a certain segment of the population.
The fact that other forms of hepatitis showed the exact same patterns and there are NO vaccines being given for those forms, strongly proves the pattern of decline for almost all forms of hepatitis is UNRELATED to the vaccine being given for just Hepatitis B.

--just to add a little more weight to my argument - note the copied page from a research article from 2007 titled: "Hepatitis B: The Immaculate Infection"
In the first paragraph note - "The incidence of..hepatitis B saw a decline throughout the 1980's and early 1990's......HOWEVER -- the incidence of HBV (Hepatitis B Virus infection) among adults has increased since 1999.

For people in the system to claim that Hepatitis B vaccinations were already underway in 1991 or that their use is what's causing the declines are expected responses from a system that needs to try to justify what they are doing but they are lying. they are not in any way correct. Routine administration of the vaccine for Hepatitis B was NOT mandated until the very late 1990's and it is NOT possible for it to be effective for the statistical changes we now see.

But what we DO actually see -- is the exact the opposite of what would be expected if the vaccine were actually doing any good. In other words...all the decline in hepatitis took place in the era before the vaccine would have helped at all.
Then starting precisely at the beginning of the time span that the vaccines were mandated, and those receiving them were growing into adulthood, then the disease increases in frequency! That is amazing and is, by itself, virtual complete destruction of any argument that you might otherwise hear about this vaccine's effectiveness.

I too have heard and read state releases bragging on how the vaccine works and saves lives etc...but it is simply NOT true and the truth about this is basically being hidden away and not spoken for political reasons, monetary reasons, and other reasons of pure bias.
Plus there is mounting evidence now that the immune boost seen that's due to the childhood hepatitis vaccine is likely to completely wear off over the succeeding decades and by the time the recipients are 25-30 years old wouldn't be very effective anyway.

I can give you more data, but I am not sure if you'd want to carry the conversation further -- and don't get me started on the Gardasil vaccine that is already causing serious complications and deaths that are being downplayed by all involved....not to mention that no benefit has yet been actually shown, and the supposed benefit to this vaccine is purely theoretical, somewhere way, way out in the future, and quite possibly just imaginary since the benefit they claim - the reduction of cancers and deaths from cancers - have already been shown to be LARGELY due to better testing, pap smears, and treatment, not to the vaccine.

My recommendation would be to decline the vaccine in childhood, then if desired at all, administer it at age 15 or older. But even then I am not fully convinced it is needed at all. As a corollary, not one single case of an individual who came down with Hepatitis B has ever occurred in a patient who COULD have had the vaccine in childhood but who instead declined it. Not one!! So declining the vaccine appears to have NO risk, contrary to the spin you hear!
So you decide….
