While\u00a0a medical student may become a true specialist in their field, they too become compartmentalized, and are often ignorant of very important information that would be essential for a\u00a0broader, more holistic overview. And this appears to be by design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">A case in point is the testimony of Tetyana Obukhanych, who earned her Ph.D. in Immunology at the\u00a0Rockefeller University\u00a0in New York and did post-graduate work at Harvard. In a presentation\u00a0she delivered in British Columbia\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=859&amp;v=8h66beBrEpk\">(full <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>video here<\/strong><\/span>)<\/a>, she was discussing scientific evidence from a publication dealing with a measles outbreak\u00a0in Quebec in 2011.\u00a0 The evidence showed that\u00a048% of those who had contracted measles <em>were fully vaccinated for measles<\/em>, and this\u00a0does not even include those who were vaccinated <em>only once<\/em> for the measles,\u00a0as they get\u00a0lumped in with the unvaccinated people. She\u00a0took a moment to tell a story about\u00a0how she\u00a0became aware of this phenomenon:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The interesting thing is that my field, the field of immunology, the basic field that sort of is responsible for all these theories of immunity, we don\u2019t really deal with the real world. We do research\u00a0in labs. We are sort\u00a0of an ivory tower profession and\u00a0we don\u2019t even read these publications because this is too far away from our field. We only read what\u2019s specific to our research and usually it\u2019s immunizations and how antibodies are generated and all the details of the immune responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">And I went through my whole PhD training and I believed that\u00a0vaccines give you immunity and that if you got vaccines there is absolutely no way, virtually no way, that you would get a disease, and I\u2019m pretty sure that most of my colleagues in\u00a0my narrow field believed the same way, and we had conversations about that. And even someone at some point mentioned to me and said that they had\u00a0a vaccine and they got measles and I sort of brushed it aside and\u00a0thought\u00a0that the person is confused. It was either she didn\u2019t have the vaccine or it wasn\u2019t measles, one of the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">But\u00a0what happen is that\u00a0a few years ago I had to apply for American citizenship and part of the procedure is to submit your vaccination records, right, and this was the first time that I looked at my own\u00a0vaccination records\u00a0carefully, and I discovered that I had two measles\u00a0vaccines in my\u00a0childhood. Well,\u00a0I didn\u2019t know about it because I was too young to remember, but what I remember really well is that when I was 11 I had measles, and so that was a little bit harder to discount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">And I told recently someone else and they said, \u2018Oh, you are confused about that,\u00a0you didn\u2019t have measles!\u2019 like \u2018How\u00a0do you know?\u2019 \u2018Did you check &lt;whether&gt; you really had the virus there or not?\u2019 So it\u2019s just, you know, the doctors diagnosis, right? But I lived in Ukraine, and there, you know, there was tons of measles around and doctors knew when they saw measles. But anyway, so the reason I kind of had to look for these papers is\u00a0to actually to confirm to myself whether I\u2019m confused about my measles or is this a general phenomenon and it\u2019s happening, and it\u2019s documented in the literature. And indeed it is documented in the literature. But immunologists don\u2019t know about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Let that sink in\u00a0for a moment. You get your PhD in <strong>Immunology<\/strong>, and you leave school to go out into the world to work on things like, oh, immunization, and you\u00a0haven\u2019t learned that you can still get\u00a0certain diseases even if you\u2019ve been fully vaccinated against them?\u00a0Despite\u00a0this being scientifically\u00a0documented\u00a0and an uncontested fact? Again, ignorance by design.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Industry Intimidation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For those\u00a0medical students who become family doctors or pediatricians, the\u00a0practice of doing independent research into the readily available scientific evidence that contradicts Western medical orthodoxy is certainly frowned upon. Further, those who wish to employ this knowledge in advising their patients often find themselves in\u00a0the crosshairs of establishment and pharmaceutical industry condemnation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">One example of this is with the painkiller Vioxx, which by some estimates led to 60,000 deaths, and for which Merck had to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/11\/09\/business\/09merck.html\">pay out almost $5 billion to settle 27,000 lawsuits<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0Merck emails from 1999 showed that company execs sought to intimidate doctors who disliked using Vioxx, or worse. One email said, \u201cWe may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live,\u201d while other\u00a0emails passed on a list of dissenting doctors who they sought to \u201cdestroy,\u201d \u201cneutralize,\u201d or \u201cdiscredit.\u201d(<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/merck-created-hit-list-to-destroy-neutralize-or-discredit-dissenting-doctors\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>source<\/strong><\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Now, if doctors began to look into the independent research on vaccines and actually spoke out\u00a0questioning their safety and effectiveness, they would quickly find themselves on such an industry hit list and risk losing their medical licenses, having their reputations destroyed and perhaps even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">And that is why challenges to the establishment, like the one being waged by\u00a0Tetyana Obukhanych,\u00a0is so important to those\u00a0of us who are simply looking for the objective facts and a reasonable theory that binds them, especially as it pertains to the safety of our children. Scientists like Tetyana generally don\u2019t have any desire to be activists, they would likely rather do scientific research and have a higher authority act properly upon their findings. However, we live in a time when the\u00a0medical authority is corrupt and money-driven and\u00a0wields tremendous power over the government. And so the only way a scientist can get the truth out about their findings is to speak that truth themselves. This often means giving up\u00a0the quiet and secure life as a researcher that they went to school for and going out into the public as an activist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Defending The Choice Not To Vaccinate<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">One of the conclusions that Tetyana has come to after investigating real-world scientific findings on the safety and efficacy of vaccines is that children who have not been vaccinated do not pose <em>any<\/em>\u00a0increased risk\u00a0to public health as compared to vaccinated children. In an \u2018<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/vaccinechoicecanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Letter-to-Legislatures-Considering-Vaccine-Legislation-Obukhanych.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Open Letter To Legislators Currently Considering Vaccine Legislation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u2019 she argues to legislators, some of whom are poised to remove vaccine exemptions from their districts, that \u201cdiscrimination in a public school setting against children who are not vaccinated for reasons of conscience is completely unwarranted.\u201d Below is the full letter, and appendices and footnotes are\u00a0available in the link above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Dear Legislator:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">My name is Tetyana Obukhanych.

Wild poliovirus has been non-existent in the USA for at least two decades. Even if wild poliovirus were to be re-imported by travel, vaccinating for polio with IPV cannot affect the safety of public spaces. Please note that wild poliovirus eradication is attributed to the use of a different vaccine, OPV or oral poliovirus vaccine. Despite being capable of preventing wild poliovirus transmission, use of OPV was phased out long ago in the USA and replaced with IPV due to safety concerns.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Tetanus<strong>is not a contagious disease<\/strong>, but rather acquired from deep-puncture wounds contaminated with C. tetani spores.

Vaccinating for diphtheria cannot alter the safety of public spaces; it is likewise intended for personal protection only.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine (the final element of the DTaP combined vaccine), now in use in the USA, replaced the whole cell pertussis vaccine in the late 1990s, which was followed by an unprecedented resurgence of whooping cough. An experiment with deliberate pertussis infection in primates revealed that the aP vaccine is not capable of preventing colonization and transmission of B. pertussis. The FDA has issued a warning regarding this crucial finding. [1]<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Furthermore, the 2013 meeting of the Board of Scientific Counselors at the CDC revealed additional alarming data that<strong>\u00a0pertussis variants (PRN-negative strains) currently circulating in the USA acquired a selective advantage to infect those who are up-to-date for their DTaP boosters<\/strong>, meaning that people who are up-to-date are\u00a0<em>more\u00a0<\/em>likely to be infected, and thus contagious, than people who are not vaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Among numerous types of\u00a0<em>H. influenzae<\/em>, the Hib vaccine covers only type b. Despite its sole intention to reduce symptomatic and asymptomatic (disease-less) Hib carriage,<strong>the introduction of the Hib vaccine has inadvertently shifted strain dominance towards other types of H. influenzae (types a through f)<\/strong>. These types have been causing invasive disease of high severity and increasing incidence in adults in the era of Hib vaccination of children\u00a0(see appendix for the scientific study, Item #4). The general population is more vulnerable to the invasive disease now than it was prior to the start of the Hib vaccination campaign. Discriminating against children who are not vaccinated for Hib does not make any scientific sense in the era of non-type b\u00a0<em>H. influenzae<\/em>disease.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Hepatitis B is a blood-borne virus.<\/strong>It does not spread in a community setting, especially among children who are unlikely to engage in high-risk behaviors, such as needle sharing or sex.\u00a0Vaccinating children for hepatitis B cannot significantly alter the safety of public spaces.\u00a0Further, school admission is not prohibited for children who are chronic hepatitis B carriers.

Low-responders are those who respond poorly to the first dose of the measles vaccine. These individuals then mount a weak immune response to subsequent RE-vaccination and quickly return to the pool of \u201csusceptibles\u2019\u2019 within 2-5 years, despite being fully vaccinated. [3]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Re-vaccination cannot correct low-responsiveness: it appears to be an immuno-genetic trait. [4] The proportion of low-responders among children was estimated to be 4.7% in the USA. [5]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Studies of measles outbreaks in Quebec, Canada, and China attest that\u00a0<strong>outbreaks of measles still happen, even when vaccination compliance is in the highest bracket<\/strong>\u00a0(95-97% or even 99%, see appendix for scientific studies, Items #6&amp;7). This is because even in high vaccine responders, vaccine-induced antibodies wane over time. Vaccine immunity does not equal life-long immunity acquired after natural exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It has been documented that vaccinated persons who develop breakthrough measles are contagious. In fact, two major measles outbreaks in 2011 (in Quebec, Canada, and in New York, NY) were re-imported by previously vaccinated individuals. [6] [7]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Taken together, these data make it apparent that elimination of vaccine exemptions, currently only utilized by a small percentage of families anyway, will neither solve the problem of disease resurgence nor prevent re-importation and outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Is discrimination against conscientious vaccine objectors the only practical solution?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The majority of measles cases in recent US outbreaks (including the recent Disneyland outbreak) are adults and very young babies, whereas in the pre-vaccination era, measles occurred mainly between the ages 1 and 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Natural exposure to measles was followed by lifelong immunity from re-infection, whereas vaccine immunity wanes over time, leaving adults unprotected by their childhood shots. Measles is more dangerous for infants and for adults than for school-aged children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Despite high chances of exposure in the pre-vaccination era, measles practically never happened in babies much younger than one year of age due to the robust maternal immunity transfer mechanism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The vulnerability of very young babies to measles today is the direct outcome of the prolonged mass vaccination campaign of the past, during which their mothers, themselves vaccinated in their childhood, were not able to experience measles naturally at a safe school age and establish the lifelong immunity that would also be transferred to their babies and protect them from measles for the first year of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Luckily, a therapeutic backup exists to mimic now-eroded maternal immunity. Infants as well as other vulnerable or immunocompromised individuals,\u00a0<strong>are eligible to receive immunoglobulin, a potentially life-saving measure that supplies antibodies directed against the virus to prevent or ameliorate disease upon exposure\u00a0<\/strong>(see appendix, Item #8).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In summary:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">1) due to the properties of modern vaccines, non-vaccinated individuals pose no greater risk of transmission of polio, diphtheria, pertussis, and numerous non-type b H. influenzae strains than vaccinated individuals do, non-vaccinated individuals pose virtually no danger of transmission of hepatitis B in a school setting, and tetanus is not transmissible at all;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">2) there is a significantly elevated risk of emergency room visits after childhood vaccination appointments attesting that vaccination is not risk-free;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">3) outbreaks of measles cannot be entirely prevented even if we had nearly perfect vaccination compliance; and<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">4) an effective method of preventing measles and other viral diseases in vaccine-ineligible infants and the immunocompromised, immunoglobulin, is available for those who may be exposed to these diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Taken together, these four facts make it clear that discrimination in a public school setting against children who are not vaccinated for reasons of conscience is completely unwarranted as the vaccine status of conscientious objectors poses no undue risk to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Sincerely Yours,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">~\u00a0Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The average person is not a scientist, and so relies on the integrity of professionals in order to come to decisions about vaccine safety and effectiveness. Those who have done some research may very well agree with me that industry data on the safety of vaccine is presented in vague and complicated ways, replete with repetitive statements\u00a0that \u2018vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective.\u2019 Meanwhile, the alternative data I have seen generally appears to be written in as simple and understandable a form\u00a0as possible, and the connection between the theory and the data is much clearer. The vaccine \u2018debate,\u2019 if we can even call it that, is an opportunity for all of us to practice our discernment, and see telltale signs of the desire to find and share truth versus the desire to hide the truth for the sake of profit and in complete disregard for human life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For some, this is difficult because it challenges the worldview that\u00a0the authorities we have given our power to actually care about humanity and human life. But realizing the fallacy of this helps to motivate us to seek our sovereignty from authority, and contributes to our awakening as a collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Related CE Articles:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.collective-evolution.com\/2019\/02\/02\/the-flawed-logic-of-hepatitis-b-vaccine-mandates\/\">The Flawed Logic of Hepatitis B Vaccine Mandates<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.collective-evolution.com\/2019\/01\/27\/why-you-cant-trust-the-cdc-on-vaccines\/\">Why You Can\u2019t Trust the CDC on Vaccines<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.collective-evolution.com\/2019\/01\/24\/herd-immunity-a-false-rationale-for-vaccine-mandates-are-unvaccinated-children-really-dangerous\/\">Herd Immunity: A False Rationale for Vaccine Mandates \u2013 Are Unvaccinated Children Really Dangerous?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.collective-evolution.com\/2018\/10\/31\/government-research-confirms-measles-outbreaks-are-transmitted-by-the-vaccinated\/\">Government Research Confirms Measles Outbreaks Are Transmitted By The Vaccinated<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collective-evolution.com\/2019\/03\/06\/unvaccinated-children-pose-no-risk-to-anyone-says-harvard-immunologist\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an open letter to legislators a Harvard trained immunologist says vaccines are both ineffective and dangerous<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=184825"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":184829,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184825\/revisions\/184829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=184825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=184825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=184825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
