If you live in the United States did you miss ‘Antibiotic Awareness Week’?  It was the week of November 18th.  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claims that 2.8-million antimicrobial (antibiotic)-resistant infections occur each year in the United States, and more than 35-thousand people die because of antibiotic resistance.  Part of the problem is that many people, including doctors, are not using antibiotics correctly: “Antibiotics are drugs that are specifically used to fight bacterial infections and do not work on viruses such as colds and flu.”-Lieutenant Commander Sara Robinson, Chair of Infection Prevention and Control at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

Brooke Army Medical Center video (Fort Sam Houston, Texas), boring U.S. Army doctors talk about the incorrect uses of antibiotics, 18NOV2022:

Operation Jupiter: UN vaccine kills 2 kids in India, 15 kids in Africa! Is there a pattern?

03 JUN 2017 (03:54 UTC-07 Tango 06) 13 Khordad 1396/08 Ramadan 1438/09 Bing Wu 4715

“Ministry of Health, WHO and UNICEF express our deep regret and sadness at the passing of the children. This tragic event could have been prevented by adhering to WHO immunization safety standards.”–United Nations World Health Organization, 01 JUN 2017

In the oil rich, relatively new ‘western’ created country of South Sudan the United Nations admitted its measles vaccination program went horribly wrong; 15 children died painfully (“severe sepsis / toxicity”), at least 32 children painfully sick (“fever, vomiting and diarrhoea”).

It happened when 3-hundred people in the village of Nachodokopele were tricked into getting the latest measles vaccine.  The UN-WHO now says the vaccine was contaminated by improper storage and handling.   The vaccines were stored for four days in a building that had no fridgeration equipment, and it was discovered that the person administering the shots was not properly trained and used a single needle for multiple vaccinations!

But wait, there’s more! In India, on 05 MAY 2017 a measles and Japanese encephalitis vaccination campaign went fatally wrong, and apparently for the same reasons!

Two children in Muzaffarpur died and six became sick after being vaccinated.  According to one doctor, the children who died got sick within two hours of being vaccinated.  Pro-vaccination health officials are refusing to blame the vaccines, instead they are speculating that the volunteers administering the shots somehow screwed up, by not keeping the vaccines cold enough, or contaminating the drugs by getting them mixed up, or some other “technical error”.

And what about this official claim that measles is making a comeback because vaccination rates are down?  First off that’s not how vaccines work!  Vaccines don’t prevent viruses from evolving to become stronger, vaccines are meant to make your immune system stronger, remember, vaccines are made with the very viruses they’re meant to help you fight off.   But, as in the case of flu vaccines they’re always a day late and a dollar short because they’re based on the previous outbreak’s version of the virus.

Then there’s the result of a Chinese study (Is short-term exposure to ambient fine particles associated with measles incidence in China? A multi-city study.) which showed a direct connection with pollution and the resurgence of measles, not the lack of vaccinations.  The study also discovered that “…measles associations were stronger on days with high temperature, low humidity, and high wind speed.”  Blame climate change?

OPERATION JUPITER: OVERWHELMING PROOF HPV VACCINE IS WRONG!

In the 1980s the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to quickly and quietly “…provide financial compensation to individuals who file a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine.”  However, officially the HHS still denies that vaccines are harmful! Interesting because as of May 2017 their own compensation data shows that between Fiscal Year 1989 and 2017 more than 5-thousand-4-hundred awards totaling 3-billion-679-million-126-thousand-368-hundred U.S. dollars and 95 cents were paid out!  

“There is one study by Nikolaj Orntoft, which was done in African girls, where they just injected tetanus vaccines into these girls just to see epigenetically what genes would be upregulated or downregulated. What they find is that there’s really no predicting it. Not only are we all going to respond differently the way we want people to respond to vaccines, but we’re all predisposed to responding differently in the side effects, which means that having a vaccine compensation table for reimbursement or for compensation makes no sense, because epigenetically we’re all going to have different genes upregulated after vaccines are given. We can have cancer genes upregulated or autoimmune diseases upregulated.”-interview with Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System: “‘”Underreporting’ is one of the main limitations of passive surveillance systems, including VAERS. The term, underreporting refers to the fact that VAERS receives reports for only a small fraction of actual adverse events.”

National Vaccine Information Center: “…as of March 3rd, 2016 there have been……397 were deaths with over half of the deaths occurring in children under three years of age.”

Natural News: “Depopulation test run? 75% of children who received vaccines in Mexican town now dead or hospitalized”

U.S., Mexico & Canada Measles, 15 February 2015: New mystery outbreak in Wisconsin community that’s 94% vaccinated! Christians locked down! Most California 7th graders 95% – 100% vaccinated!

Canada

Ontario has 11 cases of measles.  Of note is that none of the infected Canadians traveled outside Ontario.  It has been confirmed that at least one of the infected adults, in the Greater Toronto Area, had been vaccinated for measles!

Manitoba health administrators report an infant is infected.  The infant is too young for full measles vaccination.  The family had traveled to India.  The Manitoba case is considered a different strain of measles from the Ontario cases.

Mexico

The New York based World Bank reports that measles vaccination rates for children 12 months to 23 months, in Mexico, dropped in 2013 to 89%.  In 2012 the vaccination rate was at 99%.  It should be noted that the World Bank considers a child vaccinated after only one dose, even though it actually takes more than one dose over several years.

Despite declining vaccination rates Mexico has reported only two measles cases, so far.

United States

“To date there are 22 confirmed cases in Los Angeles County, 17 of which are linked to the Disneyland Parks. As the outbreak continues to unfold, it is likely that new measles cases will occur among those who have had contact with persons in the initial wave of infection.”-Jeffrey Gunzenhauser, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, California

Orange County, California, confirms 35 cases.

Contra Costa County, California, reports one case of measles.  The person had ridden on a Bay Are Rapid Transit (BART) bus before getting sick: “…we don’t know yet where this person was exposed.”-Erika Jenssen, Contra Costa Public Health

“As of 2-13-2015, Ventura County Public Health has confirmed 13 cases of measles. The age range of the cases is 13 months to 59 years of age. One case previously reported does not meet the case definition for this outbreak. No measles cases were confirmed in Ventura County in 2014.”-Ventura County Health Care Agency, California

Ventura County health administrators announced the following locations as being measles hotspots:  Gold’s Gym, 1357 E Los Angeles Ave., Simi Valley. Target, Simi Valley. Sycamore Square, 2907 Cochran St., Simi Valley.  Oxnard West Target, 2850 N Oxnard Blvd.  Dickey’s’s BBQ Pit, 2902 Tapo Canyon Rd., Simi Valley.  Costco Simi Valley, 2660 Park Center Dr.  Costco Oxnard, 2001 E Ventura Blvd.  BG’s Restaurant, 428 S. A Street, Oxnard. Vons, 1291 S. Victoria Ave., Oxnard. El Torito, 1720 E. Ventura Blvd., Oxnard. Andrea’s Seafood, 1449 Spinnaker Dr., Ventura.  Albertson’s, 920 N. Ventura Rd., Oxnard.  Carl’s Jr., 2301 N. Oxnard Blvd., (corner of Vineyard).  Century RiverPark 16 Theaters, 2766 Seaglass Way, Oxnard.  Little Explorers Preschool, 5165 Cochran Street, Simi Valley.  Cal Lutheran University, 1 University Dr., Simi Valley.  Toppers, 2701 Peninsula Road, Oxnard.  CitiBank, 430 Arneill Road, Camarillo.

Ventura County health officers claim they’ve screened all employees at those locations, and have “excluded from work” those who are “at risk of coming down with measles” (code for locking down unvaccinated people).

Alameda County Public Health Department, California, confirm six cases.

California’s Shots for Schools reports most schools with 7th grade students have a 95% – 100% vaccination rate, and most kindergartners are 80% – 94% vaccinated!

Elko County, Nevada, health administrators suspect a measles outbreak in local schools and as such has locked down at least 12 unvaccinated elementary students in their homes!  Four people are confirmed infected.

Since September 2014, western and northern Idaho has seen 21 cases of mumps.  Mumps is covered in the measles vaccine known as MMR.  So far no cases of measles have been confirmed.

Washington state confirms two cases of mumps can be traced to Idaho.

King County, Washington, reporting the following locations as possible measles hot spots: Sheraton Hotel (common areas), 1400 6th Ave, Seattle.  SeaTac Airport, Main Terminal and Concourse D and Rental Car Facility.  Dicks Drive-In, 115 Broadway Ave. East, Seattle.

In Port Angeles, Washington, Clallam County health administrators quarantined several Olympic Christian School students after a 5 years old was found infected: “All students who cannot demonstrate proof of immunity to measles have been excluded from Olympic Christian School until February 27, 2015, and placed in quarantine.”– Clallam County Health and Human Services

Cook County, Illinois, reports 13 cases, however the Chicago Sun Times reports those cases might not have anything to do with ground zero at Disneyland in California: “Illinois health officials are still trying to figure out how the people became infected with the measles virus. No ties have been found to the December outbreak at Disneyland in California, health officials said.” 

Madison County, Illinois, now says a reported case of measles was a “false positive”, proving that even the tests for measles can be wrong.

Portage County, Wisconsin, has locked down two people on suspicion of having measles.  If confirmed as measles the two children would be the first cases in that state.  Portage County health administrators say 94% of residents are vaccinated!

U.S. news media spreading lies about vaccine

Medical False Flag: U.S. news media spreading lies about Measles vaccine, prepping for medical martial law?

03 February 2015 (16:25 UTC-07 Tango 01)/13 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1436/14 Bahman 1393/15 Bing Yin (12th month) 4712

“Parents who do not vaccinate their children should go to jail.”-Alex Berezow, pro-police medical state writer for USA Today (which might explain their crashing readership)

“The earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work.”-Hillary Clinton, a non-doctor candidate for president of the United States

“Sue Parents Who Didn’t Vaccinate? Absolutely.”-Dan Diamond, ass-hole contributor to Forbes

“…Infants CANT be vaccinated for the first 12 months. And even after their first round of vaccines they are not 100% safe. Not until around 4 years old (I believe, I could be wrong on the exact age) can they get fully vaccinated.”-David Cohn, response to ass-hole PQED commentary

” I have heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. I’m not arguing vaccines are a bad idea. I think they are a good thing, but I think the parent should have some input. The state doesn’t own your children. Parents own the children. And it is an issue of freedom and public health.”-Rand Paul, a real doctor who just happens to also be a true elected official

I’ve seen main stream U.S. news media headlines and claims by politicians that stop short of claiming vaccinations are 100% effective, and they even imply anybody who thinks otherwise might as well be a terrorist.  The following should be enough for you to question the ‘authority’ of your main stream news media, government administrators and medical industry:

“Worried about measles? If you are vaccinated, you should be…. In China, in one province, 99% of children are vaccinated but measles runs strong…..Clearly measles vaccine doesn’t work as advertised. In fact, in our own country, outbreak after outbreak has occurred in what has been called a fully vaccinated population……When my child would get measles, I’d give plenty of vitamin A and also ozone therapy. I’d run the virus out in about half the time or less…..If vaccines were the cat’s meow, why would the American government have granted vaccine makers total immunity from liability if the vaccine harms your child or you?”–Doctor Robert Rowen, Phi Beta Kappa Johns Hopkins University, University of California San Francisco medical school, American Boards of Family Practice and Emergency Medicine, Alaska State Medical Board

“A child care center in Santa Monica, California, is closed Monday after a baby contracted measles…….The child was too young to be vaccinated.“–CBS

“A California high school barred dozens of non-vaccinated students from school…Earlier this month, a school…ordered non-vaccinated children to stay home until this Thursday. And in nearby Arizona, officials in Maricopa County asked non-vaccinated students who were potentially exposed to the disease to stay home.”–Reuters

“On a first visit, Uriah’s pediatrician diagnosed flu…..Kellie and Andrew are not sure precisely when Uriah got infected because he had not been to Disneyland [ground zero for California’s measles outbreak]….It’s unusual but not impossible for a vaccinated child to catch measles…..Children usually get a second dose at age 4 to 6, before starting school….Uriah hadn’t had that second dose….”–NBC

“…here’s what’s surprising: Many of those who got sick had previously been immunized against mumps via one of the top weapons against childhood diseases: the MMR vaccine.”– National Public Radio, the report went on to say that in order for MMR vaccines to achieve a 85% to 99% success rate, 100% of the population must be vaccinated!

“…the CDC released the 2012 National and State NIS Data for Children, for ages 19 to 35 months. The report indicated that 90% of children in the U.S. are fully immunized for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR); polio; Hepatitis B and varicella…….some still wonder why we are seeing so many outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases, especially measles?“–shotofprevention.com

“Over 30 years of use, the measles vaccine has never adequately protected children. In fact, it has only made measles a more dangerous disease.
The largest measles epidemic of recent times is about to descend upon Britain. Despite the fact that 93 per cent of pre-schoolers get jabbed with the triple measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) in the UK, the Health Department has laid aside £20m to invest in a vaccination campaign aimed at seven million children aged from 5 to 16. Even those who have had true measles (which offers lifelong immunity) or have already been immunized will nevertheless be given a just-in-case booster shot.”–healthy.net

“This is the data the drug industry do not want you to see. Here 2 centuries of UK, USA and Australian official death statistics show conclusively and scientifically modern medicine is not responsible for and played little part in substantially improved life expectancy and survival from disease in western economies………Measles mortality graphs are enlightening and contradict the claims of Government health officials that vaccines have saved millions of lives. It is an unscientific claim which the data show is untrue. Here you will also learn why vaccinations like mumps and rubella for children are medically unethical and can expose medical professionals to liability for criminal proceedings and civil damages for administering them.”–childhealthsafety

Pakistani refugees wanting to return home; they must subject their children to Bilderberg/UN supported mass vaccinations. So far, Pakistani officials say they’ve forced inoculated 2186 children.

Rubella cases set another record in Japan!

30 April 2013 (11:54 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Jumada t-Tania 1434/10 Ordibehest 1391/21 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Japan’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases reporting a record 500 rubella/measles cases every week in April!

At this point there are 4763 cases in Japan, from 01 January to 21 April 2013! Compare that to the yearly average, between 2008-2011, of 288.

In January 2012 there were 19 reported cases in Japan, in January 2013 there were 254 cases, there were at least 2000 cases in April 2013!

Recently it was reported that rubella was making a come back, and that the vaccine might be only temporary.

International, U.S.

Measles making a come back, new Rubella virus attacking adults? Japan sees 22% increase in cases! Vaccine proves to be temporary!

31 March 2013/19 Jumada l-Ula 1434/11 Farvardin 1391/20 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

More than 12 months ago Japanese media warned of the growing number of Rubella/German Measles cases.  Reports said that there were significant increases in the previous three years involving adult cases, and most people who got sick were men.  Now, Japanese media reporting a 22% increase in adult cases in the first eleven weeks of Gregorian year 2013.

In January 2012 there were 19 reported cases in Japan, in January 2013 there were 254 cases!  Compare that to the yearly average, between 2008-2011, of 288.

Rubella can be spread through the air, by coughing, sneezing or just simple breathing.

Rubella will cause birth defects in pregnant women, and there have been increased cases of pregnant women in Japan getting sick and giving birth to children with defects, such as holes in their hearts or deafness and/or blindness.

Rubella/3 Day Measles is often thought of as a childhood disease, but what’s been happening in many Asian countries is that more and more adults are getting infected. People in Japan are being told to get vaccinated before they travel outside of their country, even if they got vaccinated as children, because it turns out that the vaccine is only temporary: “For some people, the concentration of antibodies may decrease even if they’ve been vaccinated in the past…”-Katsuhiro Komase, Japan’s Infectious Disease Surveillance Center

The problem in Japan is that the vaccine is not free, people wanting the shot must pay $50 to $100 per shot.  Some local governments are trying subsidize the vaccinations.

Another problem is that back in 1993 Japan banned the three shot MMR (mumps, measles, rubella combo) vaccine, because many children had severe reactions to it, such as non-viral meningitis.  Japan uses a vaccine specifically for rubella.

Japanese health officials have traced most virus samples back to Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines.  Vietnam has ordered a major eradication program.

Since 2011 Vietnam has been dealing with the new rubella.  By the end of 2011 50% of all abortions performed were because of severe birth defects as a result of rubella infection.   A recently published study by Vietnamese health officials said: “Rubella virus identified in Vietnam belonged to the genotype 2B. Importantly, the infection rate of rubella virus in fetuses/newborns was 100%….”

The Philippines started having trouble with rubella in 2010.  By 2011 the government started a door to door vaccination program. Recently the British Colombia Centre for Disease Control, in Canada, reported cases of rubella that were all “…compatible with acquisition during travel to the Philippines.”

In 2012, a rubella/measles outbreak in several European countries was blamed on people coming back from trips to Thailand.

In India, health officials there are now telling women who plan to get pregnant to get vaccinated at least three months prior.

In the United States, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that there were three cases of newborns affected by rubella in 2012, the first time since 2008.   The U.S. was even declared rubella free in 2004.

The biggest risk is for the unborn children of pregnant women.  U.S. health officials say women should not get the vaccine while pregnant.  Women should wait at least 28 days after getting the shot before getting pregnant.  If adults are not sure if they’ve been vaccinated, they can have their blood tested to see if they have immunity to rubella.
