The Vaccine Myth: An Issue of Trust
Summary, September 23, 2012
Leslie Carol Botha, Women’s Health Educator, publisher, author and broadcast journalist, discussed the natural, cyclical weakening of women’s immune systems, both pre- and post-menstrual, that are never discussed by public health entities or doctors in their push for the uptake of HPV vaccines, though they make the women more susceptible to vaccine damage. She also discussed the 42.6% increase in probability of pre-cancerous lesions, as shown in Merck’s own Gardasil trial results, in about 6% of adolescent women who receive the vaccine – a poignant statistic, yet never mentioned in the mainstream. She discussed as well the fact that the FDA Commissioner and CDC Director have ignored letters sent them by the Centers for the Biology of Chronic Disease, warning that, for the public safety, they pay heed to evidence that the recombinant HPV DNA fragments we now know reside in apparently all HPV vaccines can actually cause long-term, chronic illness.

Lori Mitchell Lee discussed both her own adverse reaction to a yellow fever vaccine, and her child’s progressively worse reactions to a series of DPT shots. She then moved on to the current state of affairs in her state of West Virginia, where she is one of a large group of parents lobbying to establish a non-medical vaccine exemption. Only one other state – Mississippi – offers only a medical exemption, and in West Virginia, even when said exemption is duly authorized, public health authorities will, more often than not, not accept them.
There is an additional concern: West Virginia state health regulatory agencies have in the last few years illegally mandated additional vaccines, using the existing interpretive rule with no authority to do so. Yet, the parents in the state are being held accountable for the additional vaccinations for their children.
The West Virginia state of affairs is terrible. Non-vaccine compliant families are being threatened with removal of their kids from schools. Even homeschoolers are monitored for vaccine compliance in West Virginia, and West Virginia is the only state that attaches misdemeanor charges, including a $50 fine, to every missed vaccine. There are even threats of charges of child abuse.

The political landscape cannot be ignored. Attacks are mounting against existing exemptions, with the support of national immunization coalitions, backed by even larger groups. Stay abreast of vaccine-related legislation in your state by registering with the NVIC Vaccine Advocacy Portal, at:

The issue of trust was the lack of any meaningful discussion of the tremendous decline in disease mortality rates during the 20th century, prior to the introduction of the vaccines, making virtually all disease essentially non-life threatening, eliminating the most fundamental argument for vaccination; and the CDC’s continued mischaracterization of the decline of disease mortality following the introduction of the vaccines as caused by the vaccinations, rather than the obviously more accurate statement that they were simply the continued progress of an already existing, long-established decline.
