More Evidence of Vaccination Harm

This is an example of the documentation you will find in my new book, “Saying No To Vaccines: A Resource Guide,” available around the first of March.

This demonstrates the uninformed actions of "baby doctors" who insist on vaccination. You must guard your own. Entering a hospital without a written contract not to vaccinate gives silent consent. Take a letter for both the hospital and the doctor demanding no vaccines or procedures be done that are not specifically approved by you. A sample letter is available on DrTenpenny.com under “vax forms.”

To your baby's health,

Dr. Sherri

Evidence of serious health consequences was recently confirmed in the Journal of Pediatrics in which CRP levels were measured after vaccination. CRP, short for C-reactive protein, is a blood marker indicating a heightened state of inflammation throughout the body.

The study involved 239 infants in a neonatal intensive care unit who were given two or more vaccines on the same day. A separate group of infants were given one shot at a time, every three days. The vaccines administered were DTaP, Hib, polio [IPV], hepatitis B and Prevnar. The findings were disturbing:
  • An abnormally elevated CRP occurred in 85 percent of infants who received simultaneous vaccines and nearly 70 percent of infants who received the shots one at a time.
  • Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) also occurred in infants who received multiple vaccines at the same time.
  • Cardiorespiratory events (stopped breathing) occurred in 16 percent of all infants within 48 hours after receiving the vaccines.
  • Infants who received DTaP, Prevnar and Hib as single injections experienced the largest number of cardiorespiratory events overall.

There are further concerns about elevated CRP levels. It was found in a study of 62 children who were part of the Diabetes Autoimmunity Study that when infants and young children have an elevated CRP level, they have an increased risk of developing Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes in childhood.

Positive Association between pertussis vaccination and allergies

Pertussis infection has been suspected to be a potential causal factor in the development of atopic disease because of the effect of pertussis immunization on specific IgE antibodies.
Although several studies found a positive association between pertussis infection and atopic disorders, this relationship has not yet been studied in a population stratified by vaccination status. Atopy is the tendency to develop an allergy. Allergic conditions include eczema and hay fever as well as asthma.

To assess the association between pertussis infection and atopic disorders in pertussis-unvaccinated children and in pertussis-vaccinated children. Using data from a previously conducted study on the relationship between the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-(inactivated) poliomyelitis vaccination in the first year of life and atopic disorders, the study population of 1,872 children who were between 8 and 12yrs of age was divided into children pertussis-unvaccinated and children pertussis-vaccinated in the first year of life.

Within each group, the association between pertussis infection and atopic disorders (both as reported by the parents) was assessed. In the unvaccinated group, there were no significant associations between pertussis infection and atopic disorders.

In the vaccinated group, all associations between pertussis infection and atopic disorders were positive, the associations with asthma [odds ratio (OR) = 2.24, 95% confidence interval (CI95%): 1.36-3.70], hay fever (OR = 2.35, CI95%: 1.46-3.77) and food allergy (OR = 2.68, CI95%: 1.48-4.85) being significant.

There was a positive association between pertussis infection and atopic disorders in the pertussis vaccinated group only. (In other words, if you have been vaccinated and get the infection, there is a significant increased risk of allergy~ST)

From the present study, it cannot be concluded whether this association is causal or due to reverse causation.

VACCINE TITERS: ORDER THEM DIRECT FROM THE LAB

Vaccine titer is the measure, or level, of antibodies in the blood stream.

The term titer, (pronounced with a long “i”), refers to the strength or concentration of a substance in a solution. Testing vaccine titers is done through testing the blood for the presence of antibodies induced by vaccinations. If the levels are satisfactory, the person is considered by have enough “protective antibody” to be considered sufficiently immune to the disease, or possessing good immunologic memory from a previous infection and not in need further vaccination at this time.

Titer tests do not distinguish between antibodies generated by vaccination and those generated by natural exposure to disease agents through infection. A person may have developed a positive antibody titer through a variety of mechanisms:

  • By being vaccinated;
  • By becoming ill and recovering from the infection;
  • By being exposed to someone with the infection but without having any demonstrated symptoms of the disease; or
  • By a combination of the above.

Therefore, titer tests measure a “primed pump” that comes from an interaction between a viral or bacterial particle and the immune system. Most conventional medical personnel agree that when an adequate antibody titer is present, the person is considered to be immune. Vaccine titers can be used to determine the need for additional vaccines.

In the past, an order to draw a titer level to a particular vaccine antigen had to be written by your doctor. Now, it is possible to order these tests directly through Direct Laboratories. Titer tests are available for most vaccines. DirectLabs has been in business for more than 20 years and I have been associated with this company for more than four years as a medical advisor. DirectLabs, by exclusive arrangements through DrTenpenny.com, is now offering vaccine titer testing for you to assess immunity levels. NO DOCTOR ORDER IS NECESSARY! YOU CAN ORDER IT DIRECT FROM THE LAB!

DirectLabs is a direct-to-consumer testing company, making many routine health tests available at a discount. This is advantageous in the following ways:

  • For patients that have a very high insurance deductible and most test are paid for out of pocket
  • For patients who do not have a physician
  • For patients that want more information about their health but do not want the time and expense to go to the doctor
  • And in the case of vaccine titers, the potential struggle with a physician to get the tests you want.

Doctors May Resist Vaccine Titer Testing

Doctors are hesitant to adjust any clinical regimen they have adopted or is accepted as ‘usual and customary.” All children are vaccinated with all doses of vaccine, regardless if the additional doses are needed to create an antibody response. Vaccination protocols should not be a one-size-fits-all healthcare.

In veterinary medicine, there is increasing evidence that over-vaccination is linked to acute and chronic diseases in dogs. Dr. Jean Dobbs, once considered a rebel by the veterinary profession, has uncovered this link and speaks nationally on the topic of over-vaccination. Subsequently, veterinarians have begun to use annual titer tests to determine the need for additional vaccinations:

“Except where vaccination is required by law, all animals, but especially those dogs or close relatives of the dog that has previously experienced an adverse reaction to vaccination, the animal can have serum antibody titers measured annually instead of revaccination. If adequate titers are found, the animal should not need revaccination until some future date. Rechecking antibody titers can be performed annually, thereafter, or can be offered as an alternative to pet owners who prefer not to follow the conventional practice of annual boosters." (REF: Twark and Dodds, 2000; Lappin et al, 2002; Paul et al, 2003; Moore and Glickman, 2004.)

This option is now available to humans.

The escalating illness seen in children across the country may be caused by the large numbers of vaccines children are now receiving: More than 100 vaccine antigens and measurable amounts of chemicals are injected in children by the time they are 5 years of age. Because titers are not routinely ordered, many of these children are being over vaccinated with boosters that they do not need.

Who should get a titer test:

  • Parents who want to know if their children are immune and need more vaccines
  • Parents who want to know if the vaccines “worked”
  • Parents who want the ability to tailor the sizable vaccination schedule to their child’s needs
  • Adults who are being required to obtain vaccinations for work and service duties.
