Natural Immunity

Natural immunity. The ability to resist infection that does not depend on prior experience of the invading organism and the resultant production of antibodies or amendment or selection of LYMPHOCYTES. Natural immunity is a general and non-specific resistance to infection possessed by all healthy individuals.

If you get a disease, like measles or rubella, you typically have life-long immunity and won’t get it again. You are also stimulating your immune system to protect against the next infection.

Definition of Immunity

Immunity; 1. Protection against infectious disease by either specific or non-specific mechanisms. 2. Pertaining to the immune system or immune response [Ingelfinger, F. Dorland’s Medical Dictionary Saunders Press, 1999.]

Innate immunity

Innate immunity is the resistance manifested by a species (or by races, families, and individuals in a species) that has not been immunized (sensitized, allergized) by previous infection or vaccination; much of it results from body mechanisms that are poorly understood but differ from those responsible for the altered reactivity associated with the specific nature of acquired immunity; in general, innate immunity is nonspecific and is not stimulated by specific antigens.

• "Our body’s immune response is a multifaceted interaction between molecules, cells, and organs. "

Did a Vaccine Eradicate Polio

People imagine that they know the dangers of Polio and actually believe that vaccines eradicated polio because after the vaccines were given to thousands of people Polio seemed to disappear.

Albert Everyman believed the only thing that saved kids during these polio outbreaks was the vaccines. So when he is told that we should not make vaccines mandatory he thinks we need to to keep people safe. Albert hoping people will listen to reason states:

"you are too young so you don't know what it was like. It was scary because you didn't know who could give you some terrible sickness that would harm or kill you! Did you ever hear about "polio pond"? Swimming was a risk! Vaccinations & shots almost put an end to many of the diseases & to most of the fear we had faced. But too many forgot or just never faced these illnesses & didn't bother to get the vaccinations & shots so now some of these diseases are coming back! I hope you don't find out the hard way with a sick or dead child. Look at history. People used to have lots of children because often some died! The issue is keeping all these killing diseases at bay!"

Is Albert right?

The truth is something quite different and it will often take humility to receive and understand the whole truth.

• “Polioviruses are transient inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract. Up to 95% of all polio infections are completely asymptomatic. Approximately 5% of polio infections consist of a minor, nonspecific illness consisting of an upper respiratory tract infection (sore throat and fever) and gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea). This influenza-like illness, clinically indistinguishable from the myriad of other viral illnesses, is characterized by complete recovery in less than a week with resultant life time immunity. Less than 1% of all polio infections result in paralysis. Most importantly, the vast majority of individuals who contract paralytic poliomyelitis recover with complete—or near complete—return of muscle function. Any weakness that is still present 12 months after onset of paralysis is usually considered permanent.“

What does this mean?

Since “Polioviruses" will likely pass into and through the gastrointestinal tract, your stomach and guts, if you go swimming in Albert's "polio pond" and ingest some of the water.

How will he know?

Up to "95% of all polio infections are completely asymptomatic" meaning if he is infected with the scary and deadly Polioviruses Albert will likely be "producing or showing no symptoms. That is because 95 people out of a hundred will never even know they were infected with polio and they are likely immune.

For 5 people out of a hundred will show some symptoms but they may appear as a common cold or flu. That 5% with a polio infection could manifest as a minor, nonspecific illness that might appear as an upper respiratory infection with a sore throat and fever. They might show a gastrointestinal disturbance like nausea or vomiting. They may experience some abdominal pain and diarrhea resulting in complete recovery in a few days or less than a week walking away with lifetime immunity by swimming in the same "polio pond" as Albert.

He may not have any idea that he has a lifetime of immunity to most strains of Polioviruses and his immune system will be better equipped to fight any new strains of a multitude of viruses.

Less than one in a hundred people coming out of the "polio pond" would experience a polio infection that would result in paralysis and "the vast majority of those individuals who contract paralytic poliomyelitis recover with complete—or near complete—return of muscle function."

Many of the people who received the vaccinations were possibly already immune. Those that got intermuscular shots may have been able to carry and even spread polio because they did not have gastrointestinal immunity.

Herd immunity

Herd immunity is said to be "the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination." But can you truly obtain herd immunity through vaccination since by nature a herd exists from "generation to generation".

The original formulation of the herd immunity theory by Dr. Arthur W. Hedrich, a health officer in Chicago, Illinois, was based on unvaccinated populations. A vaccine-induced immunity is not only more “temporary” it also allows in some cases the disease to be carried, spread and even mutate.

Herd immunity should be a concept by which an infectious agent can no longer spread across a population because a sufficiently large percentage of individuals have immunity and are passing that immunity on to the next generation.

An acquired immunity from vaccination not only does not usually pass from one generation to the next but vaccination often allows an individual to continue to carry a disease even though they are not manifesting full-blown symptoms. We see this with Whooping cough where the vaccinated individual has no lung immunity but is internally immune. Only a natural immunity will include both internal and lung immunity.

Reinfection appears to be uncommon but does occur. Studies show that "on average, whooping cough immunity lasts at least 30 years and perhaps as long as 70 years after natural infection... And when people whose immunity has waned are re-exposed to whooping cough, they rarely become infected. In fact, their immunity to the disease may be boosted by re-exposure, the study suggests."

Studies have also shown that the transfer of maternal immunity can protect the newborn against infection with Bordetella pertussis if the infant is allowed to suckle colostrum and milk for 4 to 5 days from a mother who has previously obtained a natural immunity to pertussis. Yes, mothers pass on protective antibodies to their babies during breastfeeding for a variety of infectious diseases, including the flu. Antibodies are a type of protein made by the immune system when a person is exposed to a disease.

Teens have very little protection just a few years after vaccination and studies have shown that boosters only add as little as a year to internal immunity. Teenagers are accounting for a growing proportion of pertussis cases in the US because of the short life of vaccine-acquired immunity. The Tdap booster shot routinely given to preteen children has a poor "safety profile" because it can "cause high fevers and seizures in young children" according to Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and a professor of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Not only can a vaccinated community still spread the infection the vaccine itself may endanger society to greater infections.

• "Jonas Salk testified in 1976 was the 'principal if not sole cause' of all reported polio cases in the U.S. since 1961. The CDC admitted the same thing in 1992."

True herd immunity can afford protection to the next generation.

Correlation is not Causation

"Krause wrote “before the introduction of modern sanitation, polio infection was acquired during infancy, at which time it seldom caused paralysis but provided lifelong immunity against polio infection and paralysis later in life” "

"According to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, childhood diseases decreased 90% between 1850 and 1940, paralleling improved sanitation and hygienic practices, well before mandatory vaccination programs. The Medical Sentinel recently reported, “from 1911 to 1935, the four leading causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S. were diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles. However, by 1945 the combined death rates from these causes had declined by 95 percent, before the implementation of mass immunization programs.”"

Under Reporting

Can Under Reporting or change in the way you collect data create a strong delusion?

"The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC, a grassroots organization founded by parents of vaccine-injured and killed children) has conducted its own investigations. It reported: “In New York, only one out of 40 doctor's offices confirmed that they report a death or injury following vaccination.” In other words, 97.5% of vaccine related deaths and disabilities go unreported there. Implications about medical ethics aside (federal law directs doctors to report serious adverse events ), these findings suggest that vaccine deaths and serious injuries actually occurring may be from 10 to 100 times greater than the number reported."

"These observations were especially important in the tropics, as Spalding emphasized in discussing poliomyelitis: “the disease is endemic and the virus is ubiquitous. Children who are exposed to it at a very early age rarely suffer permanent damage and acquire immunity” (p. 800)"

The Congressional Record

The Congressional Record (among other sources) records these facts from both Sabin and Salk:

"Six New England states reported increases in polio one year after the Salk vaccine was introduced, ranging from more than doubling in Vermont to Massachusetts’ astounding increase of 642%; other states reported increases as well. The incidence in Wisconsin increased by a factor of five. Idaho and Utah actually halted vaccination due to the increased incidence and death rate. In 1959, 77.5% of Massachusetts’ paralytic cases had received 3 doses of IPV (injected polio vaccine). During 1962 U.S. Congressional hearings, Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Dept. of Biostatistics for the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, testified that not only did the cases of polio increase substantially after mandatory vaccinations—a 50% increase from 1957 to 1958, and an 80% increase from 1958 to 1959—but that the statistics were deliberately manipulated by the Public Health Service to give the opposite impression.() It is important to understand that the polio vaccine was not universally accepted, at least initially. Despite this, polio declined both in European countries that refused mass vaccination as well as in those that employed it."

Why did some people's immune system fail to protect them?

Was it the consumption of sugar through eating to much ice cream?

Could proper diet make that much difference to your innate immunity during times of outbreak?

Cultivating Plague

Can more Vaccinations reintroduce a plagues immune to medicl cures?

"In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 “Abstracts” )"

"The above statement states the truth of the vaccine in a nutshell. The Polio vaccine only increased the amount of cases of Polio when it was introduced and it had no part in actually creating a decline in the disease. The decline was happening naturally and the vaccine was introduced on a down turn of Polio cases. While the introduction of the vaccine created a spike in cases, overall the disease continued to decline. Especially in countries that did not introduce the vaccine. This is strong evidence showing that the Polio vaccine is not responsible for the decline and should negate the belief and statement that the Polio vaccine demonstrates vaccine success."

• "At present, as a result of the WHO initiative, the wild virus is now confined to a few countries, but naturally acquired immunity has been lost, and the whole of the developing world is now vulnerable to epidemics of poliomyelitis, which could lead to severe paralysis and increased mortality. "

• "The route by which an antigen is administered frequently determines the type and duration of antibody response. For example, intramuscular injection of inactivated poliomyelitis virus (Salk vaccine) generates less production of serum antibody and induces only a temporary systemic immunity; it may not produce substantial local gastrointestinal immunity and, therefore, may not prevent the carrying of the virus in the gastrointestinal tract."

• "Because no vaccination is 100% effective, some vaccinated individuals will get the disease as well. In fact, during an outbreak, the number of vaccinated individuals who get sick will often outnumber the unvaccinated people who get sick."

Vaccines inject foreign DNA into your body. Those who get sick anyway may facilitate mutations of the existing virus producing a new, even superbug.

Finally

Besides the known toxins in vaccines, long term effects are unclear.

• "Finally, the agent in the vaccine should be free of contaminating substances. It is also recognized, however, that vaccine transmissibility can be helpful—e.g., in the case of live polio vaccine, which can be spread from vaccinated children to others who have not been vaccinated."

Yes, vaccines can have tremendous side effects that span over your entire life. Polio Vaccine and Cancer
