Mississippi Health Officer, Dr. Mary Currier, Ignorant Concerning Vaccine Injury and Death | VAERS

Meet Mississippi's State Health Officer, Dr. Mary Currier. The Mississippi state legislature grants Dr. Currier the sole authority to make vaccine policy in Mississippi. She is the biggest adversary to parents desiring vaccine rights in this state.

Dr. Currier is an enemy of medical freedom and informed consent yet admits complete ignorance of a database (VAERS) set up by the federal government to which doctors are mandated to report Adverse Events according to The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.

Meanwhile, our Mississippi babies are dying within hours and days of receiving routine vaccines.

Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights is committed to advocating truth and proud to sponsor our latest informative Vaccine Death Awareness Billboard Project meant to expose what is happening to our most vulnerable. We hope to enlighten and empower parents who have valid questions, but are shut down with the bumper sticker slogan, "vaccines are safe and effective," to ask those questions and understand they must do the work to find the answers.

More About VAERS.

Doctors are required, according to federal law, to report all temporal events following vaccines.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database is set up by the Federal Government for events that are "temporal" (meaning related in time) to vaccination. Medical professionals do NOT have to prove that the event had anything to do with the vaccine. They are simply required to report the facts.  

There is a pathetic lack of reporting by doctors in Mississippi. There are families in this state who have received compensation by the federal government for vaccine injury, yet Mississippi doctors REFUSE to report these events to VAERS.

Doctors are breaking the law.

MPVR leadership personally knows mothers of babies who have passed away within 24 hours of receiving vaccines. One such baby died just 6 hours after shots. This baby's little brain swelled and ruptured inside its tiny skull, NEVER REPORTED BY THE DOCTOR.

As seen in the video above, Dr. Mary Currier admitted, in a television interview, that she is not aware that VAERS is online, accessible to the public and searchable by state. She didn't even have the name of the database correct! In the extended interview, she goes on to say that she gets her information on adverse events in Mississippi from "our clinics and other folks." Mississippi parents of vaccine injured children have reported being both stunned and outraged.


Shouldn't the State Health Officer know that every vaccine that is given must, by law, be accompanied by a Vaccine Information Sheet (VIS) which tells parents about possible adverse events and where to file a report in the case of a reaction? Thousands of these are given to parents across the state, daily!

Has Dr. Currier never read a VIS? What are we doing, Mississippi?! She is the person our lawmakers give sole power to over the vaccine status of every child in the state - above the parents and above our children's doctors!

It is criminal and corrupt that this is tolerated. It's time we, as parents and as citizens, start holding these healthcare providers accountable.

Let's pass a law in Mississippi putting teeth into the federal law requiring doctors to report reactions following vaccines. When a doctor fails or refuses to report a temporal event with VAERS, it should be a misdemeanor, punishable by law.

If you are in Mississippi and would like to help Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights champion such legislation, please make sure you have filled out our membership form. 

HB938 | Crusade at the Capitol Cardboard Testimonials

For too long, parents in Mississippi have lived under the most oppressive vaccine laws and policies in the nation,. We have been lethargic and un-engaged with our lawmakers allowing the drug lobbies and those who profit from vaccines to take advantage of vulnerable young mothers and little children.

It is wrong for an agenda-driven government agency to be granted power to systematically supersede the advice of our children's doctors. Yet, in Mississippi many families and doctors testify that the Mississippi State Department of Health has habitually denied doctors' medical exemptions for vaccine vulnerable children. This inflicts great hardship on MS families, yet it is fiercely defended today by those same lobbies who put it in place years ago.

The balances in our system that should stand between corporate power and our infants and children do not exist in MS's childhood vaccination program. The government is not our children's pediatrician. The days of complacency in Mississippi are OVER. We are fighting back and we are not going away!

On March 2, 2016 Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights gathered at the Mississippi State Capitol to Rally and lobby for HB938 that will repair Mississippi's broken medical exemption process. Activist and parents across Mississippi demonstrated, using cardboard testimonials, the hardship of living under the most restrictive medical exemption vaccine law in the nation. 

 

 

Mississippi State Department of Health and Medical Terrorism

I am often asked what is it that lit a fire in my belly to fight the current vaccine law in MS.

Mandated vaccines in Mississippi *DO IN FACT* force children to be vaccinated against their doctors' written advice, against a parent's deeply held convictions that their child may be vulnerable, and against sincere religious beliefs.

I have a son who had a serious neurological event following nine vaccine doses at the age of five years old and I experienced this bureaucratic tyranny first hand.

Our son Jacob had seizures in the 72 hour window following his shots when he was five. He had no fever. He woke up the third morning following the routine nine doses, and toddled into the kitchen behind me where I was making coffee.

I heard a THUD and a groan. I turned around and my beautiful five year old boy had done a trust fall on the kitchen tile, back arched, eyes rolled back in his head, fists clenched up by his ears, grimacing and SHAKING.

He will tell you he woke up with his head under the bed, then fell in the hallway on the way to the kitchen that morning. His (at the time) seven year old brother, John, witnessed his little brother seizing on the kitchen floor while eating his cereal before his first day of second grade. When I went back to make Jacob's bed later that morning, it was soaked with urine, which is classic of seizures through the night. 

Fighting the Mississippi State Department of Health

Following Jacob's vaccine induced neurological event, our pediatricians wrote to the state depth of health recommending no further vaccines. The bureaucrats in the Mississippi State Department of Health, who had never laid eyes on my child, DENIED OVERRODE REJECTED his doctors' multiple legitimate requests for medical exemption. He was not able to attend kindergarten and I was forced to keep him home. My family was literally medically terrorized by the State of Mississippi.

It was fully five years later. After four letters from our doctors, political string-pulling, and having met face to face with the State Epidemiologist and my Local Health Officer as the CoDirector of MPVR,  our son finally got his desperately needed medical exemption granted. We endured all of this for missing *one* of five required pertussis doses. Jacob was otherwise fully vaccinated according to MS State Department of Health's vaccine requirements for kindergarten.

The Mississippi State Department of Health is indeed ruthless in its pursuit of first-in-the-nation vaccine coverage rates. They demonstrated clearly to me that our children are simply pawns in their agenda.

Why would the MSDH only grant a mere 17 kindergarten exemptions in a year while every other state in the nation grants kindergarten exemptions in the hundreds and thousands? Because leading the country with the highest coverage rates in the nation, and likely in the world, is their long time tradition. This is a huge feather in the caps of the un-elected bureaucrats at the State Department of Health. They get national recognition and financial incentives for vaccinating MS kids to the gills, while parents in Mississippi have zero legitimate options and no rights.



A Coincidence

Could Jacob's event have been a coincidence? He had never had a seizure before nor since. His doctors did not believe it was a coincidence. Vaccines certainly adversely affected his nervous system just as the vaccine manufacturers' package inserts say they can.

To begin with, we delayed Jacob's shots until the age of three because of the research I had done. We have significant family history consistent with what is now considered to be fraudulent science which suggests my children would be Vaccine Vulnerable. Jacob's family history consists of terminal complications of Ulcerative Colitis in maternal uncle, Ulcerative Colitis in paternal grandmother, Celiac Disease in paternal grandfather, Celiac Disease in mother, and an older brother who was moderately Autistic as a small child.

That fraudulent science, I KNOW, saved Jacob's life. Before that science was widely accepted as fraudulent (2010), my pediatric GI offered that we should delay John's and Jacob's shots at an appointment when Jacob was a newborn and John was only two.

I often wonder what would have happened if I had allowed them to give Jacob the HepB at one day old, and the ensuing routine battery of 25 doses in the first six months?

I shudder to think what would have happened to our sweet boy. I thank God that I had faith in "fraudulent science."   I thank God that we were financially able for me to be a stay-at-home mom, and that I had the freedom to prayerfully, carefully decide how to vaccinate Jacob, at least until he approached kindergarten age. Many parents don't have that option.

Certainly, that scientist who was labeled a fraud, is a hero to families like mine. One day the world will know he was simply ahead of his time, and our society chose to put money before our children. I don't believe that day is very far off.

The Ignored CDC Whistleblower

Dr. William Thompson is a Senior Scientist from the CDC's Vaccine Research Division. Dr. Thompson was one of the five authors of the paper our CDC published in 2004 claiming to disprove the vaccine/autism link. He has recently come forward confessing that he and his colleagues covered up data, literally throwing it in a garbage can, that he has "great shame" and has "stopped lying." That trashed data showed that Dr. Andrew Wakefield was RIGHT. That trashed data showed that some baby boys were at a 340% greater risk of developing Autism when given the MMR vaccine before the age of three years old.

Thompson has been granted Whistleblower Status by the Obama administration, and is still employed at the CDC.

Many, including Florida Congressman Bill Posey, are begging Congress to subpoena Dr. Thompson to testify, exposing the fraud within the CDC. But our Congress has allowed the CDC to investigate themselves.

Our Kids, Our Priority

How many children with Autism do you know? ADHD? Seizure disorder? Parents need to be looking back at shot records and connecting the dots.

We have a crisis of big government bureaucracy in Mississippi, and our families are paying the price. As long as we have vaccine mandates with no parental rights, the well-being of our kids will be at the mercy of agenda driven bureaucrats and and greedy,corrupt drug companies.

That is not the kind of America we should leave our children.

Vaccine Injured in Mississippi | Noah's Story - MMR & ITP

MPVR is committed to the truth. It seems the mainstream media, medical establishment, and government are persistently presenting stories that sell vaccines, while most parents don't hear the stories that warn us to be careful when vaccinating our children. 

With deep appreciation to Brittany & Davy Lambert for sharing Noah's story, please hear...

I found out that I was pregnant with my first child in July 2008. I had never thought about vaccines before that and knew nothing at all about them. A family friend called me one day to share a few basic things about vaccines, sharing her sons reaction to his MMR vaccine and the life threatening condition it put him in. She also sent me several credible links, and a book, Dr. Cave’s What your Doctor didn’t tell you about Childhood Vaccinations. It was all very overwhelming to me. I understood that vaccination carried risk, but I didn't realize to what extent. I read the book, but much of it was just over my head. I did understand the current vaccine schedule and was very interested in using the delayed schedule that she provided for my new baby boy. I prayed about this a lot and determined it would be best and safest for my child.

The Pediatrician Experience in Mississippi

I had Noah on April 1, 2009. He was absolutely perfect in every way! I had never felt a love like this! The weeks flew by, and soon it was time for his 2 month check up. I had been reading over the book again after he was born to help prepare myself for his appointment. The day of his appointment I had the book in hand with a plan. Noah was checked out by the doctor and was perfectly healthy. I shared with my son’s doctor that I had read Dr. Cave’s book and done a good bit of research and would like to follow the delayed vaccine schedule. After explaining my plan to his doctor I sure wasn't prepared for what happened next. "I am familiar with Dr. Cave, and I do not support anything she studies or writes in any way." he responded. I was then fed scare tactics of what would happen to my precious baby if i didn't not follow the CDC's recommended schedule, and how I would be putting my child in great danger. I don't remember every specific thing said that day, but I do remember that my heart was beating out of my chest and I was very upset. Noah’s pediatrician used fear mongering scare tactics and bullied me to the point of tears that day. I felt like I had no choice, and signed the paper for my baby boy to receive all his 2 month vaccinations that day...8 doses of vaccines. I left in tears with a very heavy heart and sick feeling deep down in my gut.

Vaccine Reactions in Hindsight

Within a few days of his 2 month vaccines I noticed a red rash appearing in the creases of Noah's arms and legs. After about 2 weeks of it getting worse, Noah was diagnosed with Eczema. He explained it was common and that he would prescribe topical steroid cream for it. And that was that.

After my experience at his 2 month appointment, I was scared to even question vaccines. I didn't want to be that crazy mom that freaked out about everything. I pushed vaccines in the back of my head and tried not think about them. Noah started a home daycare at 4 months old. After his 4 month visit i noticed that his eczema rash became worse. Here is a picture of Noah a few days after his 4 month vaccines. His eczema had spread all over his body by this time.



(4 month picture here)

After his 6 month vaccinations and first and only flu shot, things went south quickly. Noah’s eczema became out of control. His body was completely inflamed and he had numerous secondary infections as a result of this. He was put on zyrtec daily to help with the allergies and also took benadryll almost every day because he couldn't quit itching himself to the point of bleeding. I would have to put him in footed pjs at night and use medical tape to take his sleeves to his wrist so that he didn't claw his arms until they bled. It was BAD. 



After months of persistence-begging Noah’s pediatrician, I finally got a referral to see an allergist. She was in total shock at the condition of my child. She complained that he should have been sent to her MONTHS sooner. We were given a strict routine to care aggressively for his skin and learned that Noah was deathly allergic to peanuts as well as eggs. I realize now why his eczema spiraled out of control after receiving the flu vaccine (contains egg) at 6 months old.

Here is Noah not long after his 6 month vaccinations.

From 6-12 months noah stayed sick. He had several ear infections, the stomach virus, strep throat, and secondary infections from his eczema. Noah's 1 year well visit was set for the first week of April. This appointment was one that I really dreaded. I questioned the doctor on the MMR vaccine and its safety. I was assured that it was completely safe. I was also given a sheet showing the possible side effects of the shots he received that day which included fever, swelling at the injection site, and irritability. I left the 12 month appointment in tears carrying my freshly vaccinated, eczema covered screaming baby. I strapped him in his carseat, got in the car and completely lost it. I cried and cried. What had i just let them do to my baby? Of all the vaccine research I had done, i was sick at the thought of these 12 month vaccines including the MMR vaccine. I cried to the point of making myself sick right there in the parking lot. I was completely overcome with panic and terror. I prayed for peace and for a calm spirit. I felt like the absolute worst mother in the world for going against this strong feeling I had deep down in my gut. I knew deep in my heart that this wasn't right, but felt like i had no other option but to vaccinate him exactly like all the other babies his age were.

Here is a picture of Noah after not long after 12 month vaccines.

Once fall came around, it was time again for his vaccines. I had grown numb over it all since the last traumatic experience. I barely spoke a word about anything at his appointment. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I drove home from his appointment. There was nothing I could do, no one to turn to. Anyone who I had ever discussed this with assured me that all kids get vaccinated and that it was just what you do. I felt so alone, but knew it would be a while before I had to deal with all of this again which did help me fell better about it all.

Here is a picture of Noah at his 15 month well visit covered in eczema from head to toe with swollen eyes.

 

It Gets Worse | Life Threatening ITP Vaccine Reaction

A few weeks later, after picking Noah up from daycare, I noticed a very strange bruise on Noah's arm. It was tiny little bruises in the shape of teeth marks. I was very alarmed by it, and called his teacher who assured me there hadn’t been any incidents outside the norm that day. I was so confused at how a child bit my child so hard to leave bruises (but not break the skin) and no one knew it happened!

Here is a picture of Noah's arm that day.

Two days later, I picked noah up from daycare and headed to church. When i was getting him out of his carseat i noticed a very dark and large bruise on his shin. It had a knot under it and was very strange looking.

The next day, I was headed to pick Noah up from school and my phone rang. It was his teacher calling. She was calling to tell me that she noticed several more bruises on noah when changing his clothes that afternoon.

When I arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. He had several bruises all over his body. I took him straight to the walk in clinic. They got us right back and as soon as the doctor walked in he noticed all the bruising. He immediately ordered a CBC (complete blood count) that revealed Noah had ITP and severely low platelets. I was instructed to go straight to the ER where they would be waiting for us. Noah's platelet count was at 5,000. A normal platelet count is 150,000-250,000. They were very confused at such low of a count and kept mentioning that that couldn't be right that they'd never seen a platelet count so low.

Noah was admitted for treatment. His doctor explained that ITP is very treatable and usually acute which means it resolves itself quickly with treatment. Noah started his first 12 hour treatment at midnight that night. After the 12 hour treatment his platelet count rose to only 16,000. After another treatment it didn't rise much more at all. His doctor was very concerned to why he wasn't responding to the treatments so we were then transferred to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital in Jackson so that Noah could be treated by Pediatric Doctors who Specialized in Hematology and blood disorders.

Noah during his first hospital stay.

 

Over the next month, We were in and out of the hospital for days at a time. No treatment that they gave noah would help his platelet count hold at a normal and safe level. Because Noah was a toddler, they were worried about him hitting his head. He was fitted for a Pediatric helmet that he was to wear when his platelet counts dropped below 30,000. His risk for internal bleeding grew higher the lower that his platelets got.


In December after his diagnosis I had to quit my Job. Noah was not well enough to be in school. This was a major financial burden to our family. We spent the next 2.5 years watching Noah's platelets fluctuate between 10,000 and 40-50,000 at the highest. We took him to his specialist every week for a few months, and then every 2 weeks, then every month after a few years.

Research & Discovering the Truth

During this time, I learned that ITP is caused by a live virus or illness. It is caused when the immune system is attacked by "a virus" of some sort, and builds up antibodies to kill the virus off. When the virus is gone, in a hypersensitive immune system, the antibodies continue being built up to kill the virus, but they attack the platelets instead. Platelets cause the blood to clot. Low platelets bring many dangers.

I also continued my research on vaccines. One day, I came across a website, www.nvic.org. I was looking through the site and I was reading about each disease and its risks as well as about each vaccine and its risks. When I got to the MMR vaccine package insert and began to read, my heart hit the floor like a ton of bricks. Right there in the package insert of the MMR, and flu vaccine was Immune thrombocytopenic purupra (ITP). I could not believe my eyes. I knew that the MMR was 3 live viruses in one vaccine. My son was covered head to toe in eczema the day he was vaccinated at 12 months and at 15 months old. 



By this time, I knew that eczema indicated that the immune system was compromised. Each event in our story was a puzzle piece to the underlying cause of the ITP. I couldn't believe that I had figured out what had caused Noah's ITP even though no doctor we had ever seen had mentioned vaccines playing a role. Luckily the next week we had a doctors appointment with Noah's specialist. The first question I asked her was if she thought there could be any relation in the vaccines and Noah's ITP. Her words exactly, "Oh, Absolutely." I also asked if it was safe for Noah to be vaccinated again and she stated that he didn't need to receive any live virus vaccines since they could cause his platelets to drop.

To Make Matters Worse

Even back then, I wasn’t aware of Mississippi’s archaic vaccine law. I had made the decision that Noah wouldn't receive any more vaccines. I knew without a shadow of doubt that Noah's ITP was caused by his vaccinations.

Over those two years of battling Noah's ITP I was made aware of Mississippi vaccine law. I realized that Noah had to have a medical exemption written by a doctor and approved by the MSDH in order to attend school. I also learned that this was a very hard thing to obtain. 
 


I became aware of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; a government program  set up in 1986 once the law was passed that protected Vaccine manufacturers and doctors from lawsuits when a person is injured or killed as a result of vaccines. Vaccine manufacturers nor doctors may be held accountable. 
The NVIC has paid out over 3 BILLION dollars in compensation for vaccine injuries and deaths in the U.S.


My eyes were truly opened. All those feelings I had from the very beginning concerning vaccinating Noah weren't just feelings. It was my God given Motherly Instinct. It was the Holy Spirit speaking to me and giving me these feelings for a reason.

A mom friend I met through Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights put me in contact with the attorney she used to file a claim against the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Over the last year, our vaccine attorney and I have picked apart Noah's medical records. We dissected them and found so much evidence of Noah being vaccine injured from the first set of shots he received at 2 months. I did not realize when Noah was a baby, that the eczema was being caused by his vaccinations. It was his body screaming STOP! ...Stop injecting my body with toxic chemicals. Stop compromising my immune system! Our case lasted over a year. It was reviewed by doctors who are hired by the government to determine whether or not vaccines were the cause of the said injury in each case. Remember, 3 billion dollars has been awarded to families of vaccine injured individuals since 1986 when the NVICP was created. $3 BILLION. Vaccines can and do cause injury and death. 

In August of 2014 Noah's case was won in vaccine court. Noah was awarded compensation for his vaccine injury. I am not sharing this to boast. I can promise that there is no monetary amount that could begin to make our family's experience okay. Nothing at all could make it ok that my son received damaging vaccinations mandated by the government who benefit greatly from the financial aspect of vaccines.

The fact that this compensation came in the form of US treasury government checks is absolutely sickening. Throughout our ordeal, I have felt God like no other time. His comfort, His peace, His grace, His healing power has been evident. I have also felt as though I am called to use Noah's story for His glory. 


Why I Share, Please Hear This Well


It is my desire that Noah's story help other parents become aware of the real risks associated with a one-size-fits-all vaccine program. Mississippi’s vaccine law is oppressive. While Noah has a hard-fought-for medical exemption, his little sister has no hope for a vaccine waiver in this state. I could easily move to one of 48 other states and have the fundamental right to protect her from the vaccines that nearly took my son’s life. In Mississippi, I am expected, to fully vaccinate her! I have NO OPTIONS here. Children in Mississippi must first be injured for state bureaucrats to consider a doctor’s request for exemption. That is BARBARIC.

Mississippi lawmakers have shown year after year as they reject common sense, fundamental right legislation that they do not trust the parents in this state to make the best decision for their children- instead allowing government bureaucrats to determine what is best for our children. These bureaucrats insist ALL children be molded into a one-size-fits-all, NEVER-tested-as-administered vaccine schedule that looks like 49 doses before kindergarten. 



Please research vaccines. Research the diseases we vaccinate against and the risks associated with those disease. Research the vaccines and their risk. Research VAERS and how many people have reacted to vaccines and how. Know the truth, and most importantly, listen to your Momma gut. LISTEN to it.

Noah is now in remission from his Chronic ITP. He has had a safe platelet count for the past year and has been healthy. We rejoice over his healing and pray that his ITP is gone forever.

Centers for Disease Control Whistleblower Summary | #CDCwhistleblower

Centers for Disease Control Whistleblower Summary | #CDCwhistleblower

Breaking in 2014: The truth about a CDC researcher blowing the whistle regarding CDC data, Merck’s MMR vaccine and the studies conducted that revealed that black baby boys may be at 340% greater risk for developing autism when getting the MMR vaccine before age 3. The MMR vaccine is currently mandated to be given at 12 months  and again at 4 year old.



The third whistleblower -- a senior CDC scientist named William Thompson -- only indirectly blew the whistle on Merck. He more blew it on himself and colleagues at the CDC who participated in a 2004 study involving the MMR vaccine. Here, the allegations involve a cover-up of data pointing to high rates of autism in African-American boys after they were vaccinated with MMR. In what could be high-profile House hearings before Congressman Posey's Science Committee -- hearings made all the more explosive given the introduction of race into the mix -- Merck could find itself under unprecedented scrutiny. The CDC still stands by its study although Frank DeStefano, the CDC's Director of Immunization Safety and a co-author in the CDC study, also stated that he plans to review his notes with an eye to reanalyzing the data.

From an e-mail Dr. Thompson allegedly wrote on October 18, 2002 to Melinda Wharton.  "I am writing you once more regarding the recent Department of Justice (DOJ) request for a broad range of documents associated with MMR, thimerosal, and autism.  I first spoke with you on September 3rd of 2002 regarding the sensitive results we have been struggling with in the MADDSP MMR/Autism study." 

Further on in the e-mail Thompson wrote, "I don't think anyone has broken the law but I was extremely uncomfortable when Dr. Coleen Boyle, a coauthor on our paper, was required to testify before Congressman Dan Burton's committee in April of 2002 regarding MMR and autism.  My level of concern has also caused me to seriously consider removing myself as an author on the draft manuscript." 

On February 2, 2004, Thompson wrote a letter to Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control.  It began, "We've not met yet to discuss these matters, but I'm sure you're aware of the Institute of Medicine Meeting regarding vaccines and autism that will take place on February 9th.  I will be presenting the summary of our results from the Metropolitan Atlanta Autism Case-Control Study and I will have to present several problematical results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism." 

“It’s the lowest point in my career that I went along with that paper,” Thompson tells Hooker in a recording played on the online Autism Media Channel. “I went along with this, we didn’t report significant findings.”

The CDC’s DeStefano acknowledges that he and his study co-authors changed their study analysis plan midstream, which resulted in reducing the statistical vaccine-autism link among black boys. But he says they did so for good scientific reason.

“[Vaccine] exposure around [three years of age] is just not biologically plausible to have a causal association with autism,” DeStefano says. “I mean autism would’ve already started by then…it probably starts in the womb. So I think from a biological argument, it’s implausible this was a causal association.”

The issue is highly-charged for several reasons: public health officials fear that the public will panic and stop vaccinating if they believe there are links between vaccines and autism. That could lead to resurgence in serious infectious diseases.

Also, vaccination is a multi-billion dollar global industry that employs law firms and public relations agents to engage in a variety of high-powered PR efforts. These efforts include: lobbying members of Congress to prevent hearings exploring vaccine safety, holding private meetings with news executives to discourage reporting on vaccines and autism, and financing nonprofits which take favorable positions on vaccine safety issues. Because pharmaceutical companies that produce vaccines spend millions of dollars each year buying advertising on television, print and online, critics argue they may be given undue influence over content of the reporting media.

Pharmaceutical interests and their surrogates routinely falsely portray scientists and journalists who investigate vaccine safety as “anti-vaccine.” In his statement, Thompson emphasizes his safety concerns do not reflect an “anti-vaccine” mentality.

Ms. Attkisson’s reported in a blog on her website August 29: This week the CDC in response to a query stated that it is not currently investigating the relation between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). “Further, CDC does not have any planned research addressing vaccines and autism,” said a CDC spokesman.

“CDC believes that this topic has been thoroughly studied and no causal links have been found. Current CDC ASD related research focuses on determining how many people have ASD and understanding risk factors and causes for ASD.”–CDC spokesman

Ten years ago (February 2, 2004), Dr. Thompson expressed concerns about the study’s findings in an urgent letter to CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding; he broke protocol to contact her directly, instead of going through his immediate supervisor. Of the upcoming Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2004 meeting on immunizations and autism, he wrote “I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of the MMR vaccine and autism.” He received no reply from Dr. Gerberding and he was removed from the IOM speaker schedule days before the meeting. The 2004 IOM report, which did not include his findings, was cited by the Omnibus Autism decision that denied 5,000 families compensation for vaccine injury claims, and the report continues to be widely cited for exonerating vaccines’ role in causing autism. 

The CDC's final agreed-upon protocol came out for this particular study on September 5, 2001, and in that particular protocol they said they would consider race among the entire population. They called race a co-variant, and that’s just a term that’s used in statistics for a secondary variable, but they said that race would be used within the entire population.

Special thanks to Judy Brasher, retired CRNA, for her research and reporting on this!

MPVR On TV: MS Public Broadcasting Southern Remedy

In October MS Parents for Vaccine Rights was given the opportunity to appear on MS Public Broadcasting's Southern Remedy TV Show.  

We were admittedly hesitant to do an interview with a state sponsored TV show since we are fighting to change the nature of a state program, but decided that we would do our best and hope that whatever coverage we got would give our MPVR members a voice if nothing else. So we held our nose and went for it!

Overall, we are pleased that Southern Remedy was kind to us and that our philosophy was not twisted and made to look like something it isn't. We do feel that our side of the debate was quite abbreviated, even eliminating some of our most important and compelling points, such as the impressive number of vaccine doses our children are getting and the fact that the MS State Department of Health is refusing medical waivers requested by pediatricians. This, we believe is important for the public to know, as it usually results in mouths hanging open. 

We were thrilled to have shared airtime with our supporting friend Barbara Loe Fisher from  The National Vaccine Information Center. Barbara was able to deliver a clear and compelling common sense message that bolstered our story. Thank you to all of our friends at NVIC!

Also, presentation of each side was obviously unbalanced. The pro-vaccine side was given a grossly disproportionate amount of time than our pro-parental rights side. A woman who claimed to have been injured by polio as a child was interviewed, but there were no vaccine injured children's stories presented. 

At the end of the day we have no regrets and are very thankful to MPB for the opportunity!

 

Vaccine Injured in Mississippi | Eric's Story -He's My Son

This October, Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights is sharing stories of Mississippi's children who have had vaccine reactions and injuries.

MPVR is committed to the truth. It seems the mainstream media, medical establishment, and government are persistently presenting stories that sell vaccines, while most parents don't hear the stories that warn us to be careful when vaccinating our children. 

With deep appreciation to Ronnie and Jennifer Prine for sharing the painful account of their son's life, and in honor of their precious son, Eric Prine, please hear...

A Bright Beginning

Jennifer and I met in 1982 at a game room in Lucedale, Mississippi. It was love at first sight and on Dec. 15, 1984, we were married. 

I was a waiter at a resturant in and Jennifer was going to nursing school. We wanted children, but we needed a house first. Six months after we were married, we were given land by Jennifer's family in Lucedale, Mississippi. In 1987, we finally built our house. Although, when we got married we decided to wait for a few years before we had children, I could not wait. I love kids. I could hear the pitter patter of little feet in the house already. 

It took months before we finally heard those words we had been waiting for, "You are going to be parents." I was on cloud nine! "We have to get started on a baby's room!" It was one of the happiest days of my life. I sometimes thank God that we cannot see into the future.

Eric arrived on May 17, 1991. He complained loudly about his introduction to the outside world, but he was a healthy baby. He soon proved to be a very easy baby with a cheerful disposition. He developed right on schedule.



The Nightmare Begins

We loved our son, so we listened to the doctors who told us that he needed to be vaccinated. My wife was a nurse, so we didn't even think to question whether this was best or not. He was six months old, so it was past time to start getting his shots.

Within hours of his DPT shot, our sweet, cheerful baby disappeared. He was replaced with a fussy baby who cried constantly. A large knot developed where the shot was given. This baby who had been sleeping through the night, no longer slept, but kept on waking up screaming.

I remember the first time he had a seizure in my arms. It was seven days after the vaccine. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he went completely stiff. He started turning blue. I feared he was dead. I ran for my wife. She held him, while I drove the car to the hospital. By the time we arrived, he had come out of the seizure and was crying.

The doctors couldn't figure out what had caused the seizure. A spinal tap came up normal. We were sent home the next day without any answers. The vision of Eric seizing in my arms haunted me. He continued to fuss and cry, so we took him back to the doctor. "He has an ear infection," we were told. We were given an antibiotic and returned home.

Eric's next seizure took place in church while Jennifer was giving him a bottle. At first she thought he was choking on the bottle, then she realized he was seizing. She called me, and we met at the local hospital. We were told we would have to take him to a larger facility in Mobile, Alabama. He had 10 seizures during the 35 minute drive.

The Battle Continues

Eric was put on anti-seizure meds. No one could tell us what was causing the seizures. Eric spent a week in ICU. When we headed home, we still had no answers.

The meds stopped the seizures for a month. We were beginning to hope that all would be okay. Then the seizures returned. This time they lasted longer, up to five minutes at a time, and were more frequent.

I cannot describe the helplessness I felt. As I watched each seizure, I wondered how I could survive with my heart intact if it was followed by another one. It felt as though my heart was at the breaking point.

Eric's condition worsened. The doctors couldn't find a seizure medication that Eric would respond to. When the doctor told us that he didn't expect Eric to make it through the night, Jennifer and I turned to the one place we could find comfort. We went to the hospital chapel.

We were both exhausted from days without sleep. It was almost impossible to pray. We wept as Jennifer prayed, "Please, God, if you can't make him well, take him in Your arms to be with You." I heard a voice behind me ask, "Can I pray with you?" We said, "Yes."

I can't remember the prayer, but I'll never forget the comfort I felt when he said, "Go be with your son. He will be okay." I turned to thank our comforter. No one was there. I have wondered ever since if an Angel had been there with us.

Eric went home with us two days later. I thanked God! We still had no real answers. The best theory the doctor could suggest was that Eric had a brain degenerative disease and a life expectancy of possibly two years. We suspected the vaccine could be connected with his problems. We were told that was impossible. However, as we later learned, it was entirely possible according to the vaccine inserts and the Vaccine Information Sheet that the doctors are required to give the parent at the time of vaccination.

Going home involved learning how to manage the seizures, as they continued on. Eric had only been home a week before they returned. We had O2 in one hand and suction in the other. The neurologist told us to keep a journal to record Eric's responses to the different seizure meds and doses. We started taking turns staying up all night so we could keep the records. We wondered, "Who would take care of Eric when we were no longer able to?"


While living in Lucedale MS, Eric was hospitalized repeatedly at University of South Alabama in Mobile. It was there that his pediatric neurologist, Dr. Paul Maertens, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Special Qualification in Child Neurology, told us he was certain that the DPT had caused Eric's seizure disorder. This was documented in Eric's medical records and the doctor was willing to testify in court.

A Difficult Life

Having to leave Jennifer alone with Eric so I could go to work was so hard. Some days she would cry as I went out the door. We both knew I had to work to pay the bills, but that didn't make being responsible any easier. I don't know what we would have done if her family hadn't come to help us.

Birthdays were the worst. Each year your child passed another milestone, our agony increased. It wasn't quite so bad when Eric was a year old. He was a baby, and we expected to buy him baby toys. As each year passed, the visit to the toy isle grew more difficult. Other fathers would be there with children begging for this toy or that game. It would twist my heart to realize that my boy would never be able to enjoy the things they were asking for. How do you find a gift for an 18 year old who can barely even recognize that something special is happening? You're aware that your child isn't a baby anymore. How do you find something that recognizes this fact but still is appropriate for your child?

I finally had to let Jennifer go to work, as the stress was just too much to handle staying at home everyday. She's a nurse and because its our only income, she has to give vaccinations. She has patients ask about the vaccines but she can not say anything to them about possible adverse events. That is not informed consent. If you can just imagine after what we have endured with our precious son, what its like for her to have to physically do that. It is mentally and emotionally heartbreaking.


How Vaccines Stole From Us

Vaccine injury has not only stolen Erics life, but it has damaged our lives in many other ways. We even lost our first home.

Our daughter Shelby was born in 2000 and her big brother Eric was first to hold her. Shelby went unvaccinated because of concerns that they would affect her as they did her brother.  After losing our house due to mounting medical expenses, we moved to Colorado, away from our families. In Colorado, we were able to obtain a personal belief vaccine exemption for our Shelby so she could attend kindergarten and my wife decided to take a job as a traveling RN. There was no way we would stay in Mississippi and consider risking our daughter's health to vaccines after what they did to Eric. In Mississippi Shelby could not qualify for a medical exemption due to her brother's condition.

We attempted after a time to pursue a case in vaccine court to help with Eric's medical expenses. They told us back when Eric was a baby that a reaction 7 days after vaccination wasn't close enough to prove they caused Eric's reaction. (The vaccine manufacturer's package inserts say encephalopathy -brain inflammation- is a possible reaction as far as 14 days later.) Even though Eric's pediatric neurologist would go on the record and testify for his vaccine injury, we were turned away and unable to file with the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to help us financially handle Eric's bills. We had missed the statute of limitation of 3 years because we were too busy in the hospital fighting for Eric's life, praying they could just keep him alive, and also because we were misled into thinking the vaccine couldn't possibly be the cause.


The Hope of CBD or Cannibas Oil

Eric was on many seizure medicines as a baby. One that finally stopped the seizures in their tracks was chloral hydrate, which is a medication that is used for children during MRI to help them be still. He had been on it for 21 years when the FDA decided to take it off the market. This was scary to us because we had no other drug to stop the seizures. So I started looking for something to stop the seizures and found CBD oil, or cannibas. The day the FDA pulled the only drug that worked for Eric we started him on CBD.

On CBD oil Eric went 3 months without seizures. My wife and I were amazed. So to parents out there, I want to tell you to never give up! I loved my son so much I was willing to give my life for him and that is what I did. My wife did the same. No matter what the doctors tell you, you are the parent. You should have the last and first say in your children's care. I believe that was why Eric lived as long as he did. 
What Eric Taught Us

As parents we would do anything in this world for our children. I tried all I could to fix Eric, but then I saw it wasn't him that needed fixing, it was us. He was an angel sent to us to care for and show the world that we are to never take one day for granted, and that the kind of house we live in doesn't matter. We are to love each other for who we are.

My wife Jennifer and I thank you for remembering what Eric went through so that others can be made aware of the risks and failures of vaccines for the sake of our children. Please continue sharing Eric's story and spread it around the world. Please don't let his life be in vain.


God Bless,

Ronnie and Jennifer Prine, and Shelby

Schools are not medical clinics | Vaccinated classmates can shed the flu virus for nearly a month

We hear more and more stories regarding the lack of informed consent and the overreach of medicine into our children's schools and our own workplaces. This is one such story happening in McComb, Mississippi, shared by Rebecca Carter.

As I unpacked my daughter's school bag during the first week of October I found a letter about the school’s FluMist School Vaccination Program.  The letter stated that the local Children’s Clinic had teamed up with our private school to help immunize the students against the flu. It stated that a consent form was attached so that parents could review and agree to have their child vaccinated while at school on October 16.

I discovered that there was no Vaccine Information Sheet included so I made a phone call to the school the following Monday.  The headmaster was out, but was able to speak with the elementary principal.  I explained to her my concern that there was not an Information Sheet sent home with the concent form.  I told her that for a parent to engage in informed consent that the information must be presented to that parent before they can consent.  I asked her to please have the Vaccine Information Sheet sent home with a new consent form, and to do away with the consent forms that were previously signed.  

The principal also mentioned to me that she didn’t know what I’d want to do with my daughter that day since it was a live virus and she wondered about her being around WC, my son who was previously immunosuppressed.  That opened an opportunity for us to discuss shedding and how that was a major concern of mine as well.  I also shared with her that the school being liable if a reaction occurred was another real concern of mine.   

A day later, a new notice showed up in the school bag.  More FluMist Information…well, not really.  

The school sent home another FluMist consent form but this time is was from the State of Florida’s Department of Health.  (A perfect example as to why the school shouldn’t try to run a medical facility.) 

The principal must not have understood what I was asking her to include.  So, I did what I’m good at and I took matters into my own hands. I went to the local Children’s Clinic and requested the FluMist Vaccine Information Statement for the FluMist that would be given at the school.  The nice lady at the counter promptly returned with the information and then I asked her why this information wasn’t given to the parents in the first place?  This time she promptly went and found some help. 

Another lady approached the counter.  She commented that she didn’t know why they (the school) do not send out the Vaccine Information Statement with the consent form.  Even when I asked her if it was the Children’s Clinic’s duty to provide this information for the parents since the clinic would be the ones administering the vaccines she said, “no, they (school) do all of the paperwork, we just go out there and do it (administer vaccine) as a courtesy for them.” 

What I discovered later was that the information that had originally been sent home in my daughter's bag was actually sent from the Children’s Clinic.  The nurse at the Children’s Clinic clearly stated on several occasions that the school was the one responsible for the information that was sent to parents, yet the letter was signed, ****** Children’s Clinic.  I hate that I didn’t realize this while I was at the clinic so that it could have been addressed properly.  

What I learned from my visit to the Children’s Clinic was that they are very unconcerned with making sure parents know what the risks are before having their children vaccinated.  The nurse there did her best to put the blame somewhere else.   

Nevertheless, I took the FluMist Vaccine Information Statement to the school and presented it to the elementary principal. She looked it over and agreed to send it out to all of the students and even thanked me for bringing it to her.  However, it hasn’t shown up in LC’s school bag yet and it’s the Tuesday before vaccination day on Thursday.  

My main concerns from the very beginning with this situation were: 

• Does the school have the students’ best interest in mind?  
• Have they provided the proper information for the students’ parents to make an informed decision?  
• Is the school prepared to handle an adverse reaction situation if it were to occur at the school?      
• Has the school provided the proper information to protect it from liability?        
• Shedding! 

Schools are supposed to be a place where we send our children to get an education.  Schools are not medical clinics and vaccines should not be administered in schools where the students’ do not have a parent present.  

I highly doubt the school’s readiness to handle an adverse reaction situation were it to happen.   The reason that I am doubtful is because most people think that it will not ever happen “here” until it actually does.  In my opinion, if the school continues to offer the FluMist program, eventually someone will have an adverse reaction.  

So far, I do not believe that the school has provided enough information for parents to make an informed decision.  They may have provided the minimum information necessary to meet informed consent, but this is our children that we are talking about.  In this case, we parents deserve more than the minimum.  I believe that if a child has an adverse reaction after receiving the FluMist vaccine at my child’s school, the parents are going to be at that office demanding an explanation as to why they weren’t provided with information about possible risks of the vaccination. 

I don’t think the school has really thought about the potential risks that this could bring upon the students.  It is my prayer that they would reconsider. 

Shedding, a topic that was brought up to me by the principal herself, is also something that the administration has clearly not thought through.  If they had, they would realize the potential risks of contracting the flu virus even for those who chose to forgo the vaccine itself.

Rebecca Carter is a wife, mom and vaccine rights advocate who despite forgoing the FluMist vaccine for her own children went out of her way to make certain that other parents had the information they need in order to provide true informed consent. MPVR received reports from several parents regarding this issue. We are horrified that a children's clinic together with a private school would act so carelessly and irresponsibly regarding the children in their care.

 _____________________________

Did you know, regarding FluMist?

Shedding is real. FluMist is a live vaccine. Take a look at the above package insert. This is taken from the insert from the vaccine that will be administered at Parklane Academy tomorrow. 

What this table means is that among children age 6 months to 17 years, who received FluMist, between 1-7% of them were shedding the live virus through nasal secretions for up to 28 days post vaccination.

The insert warns about transmission to "immunocompromised household contacts."
What about classmates?
Children in a school setting spend 7-8 hours together in close quarters, five days a week. Many of these children have allergies and asthma and other immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to infections.

Don't parents have a right to know other children are contagious and are spreading the flu? AS A RESULT OF GETTING THE VACCINE! I'd go so far as to say that recently vaccinated children should stay out of the classroom until they are no longer contagious.

Also form that same insert:

...clinical significance that delivered doses were detected in the brain stomach and lungs of ADULTS is unknown. 

...has NOT been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or its potential to impair fertility.

Well then. 


90% of those who die from influenza are over 70 years old. If you are 69 or younger, your chances of dying from the flu are something like 1 in 100,000. Meanwhile, there are close to 100 flu-vaccine deaths reported annually, and the reporting system (VAERS) is dysfunctional. The real number is likely over 1,000 annual flu-vaccine deaths.

We are talking about preventive medicine here. Shouldn't preventive medicine be MORE safe than the thing it is supposedly preventing? 

Of course, we cannot give medical advice, our goal is simply to arm parents with knowledge...to present the failures that are most often omitted from the informed consent equation. To make others think.

On a personal level, because there are risks in administering vaccines, I would certainly never consider allowing any vaccine to be administered to my child without being present. Should there be an adverse reaction, I would want to be there to access it, comfort my child and see to it that he/she got the attention needed at that moment in time. 

Remember to that neither drug companies nor the doctors/nurses etc. can be sued when something bad happens as a result of vaccination. 

Vaccine-Injured in Mississippi | Wiatt's Story

We have come to know Wiatt's mom well over the past couple years. We've bonded as a result of her battle with the Mississippi State Department of Health as she has fought the obligatory fight against their tyranny in an effort to protect Wiatt and her other children from the vaccines that injured Wiatt. She is a warrior mom and this is her story...

  

...her story of Wiatt's story.

Wiatt was born in October of 2004. He received shots on November 1, 2006. He got his fourth dose of pneumococcal, DTaP, and HIB.

When we got home that day, he was already running fever. I gave the Tylenol and Motrin as the doctor recommended, alternating every 4 and 6 hours. He wouldn't eat and was very lethargic. I thought it was because of the fever. He didn't eat much for about a week and he cried (screamed) inconsolably for the most part of every day for almost two weeks. When he wasn't crying, he was blank or depressed. He seemed almost "drugged" or altered somehow. He wasn't talking or even babbling. He wouldn't play with his toys or with his brother, who he never let out of his sight. He sat with a blank stare. He wouldn't make eye contact and had very dark circles under his eyes that ranged in color from purple, to bright red, or sometimes yellow.

Within the week, the injection sites on his thighs became very hard and visibly swollen. A call to the doctor assures me that all of this is "normal" and I am overreacting. In a few days, he began rocking back and forth or rolling side to side, if lying down. Once he began eating again, he couldn't keep anything with milk in it down. Suddenly, he's lactose intolerant.

He began to have random rashes and his eczema got so severe his skin cracked til it bled. This started the parade to various doctors and dermatologists, resulting in antibiotics, steroids and creams that could cause cancer or impotence.  He started having pretty severe bowel trouble and was constantly constipated, until his body couldn't handle it (or everything we tried to help finally helped) and it would turn to explosive diarrhea for days.

Even with all of that, the worst part was, he would not allow us to show him affection. No hugs, no kisses, no touching him except to change his diaper or bathe him and he wanted neither. He wouldn't (or couldn't) smile. I lost my happy baby that day.

He had regular bouts with "croup", the first one requiring me to call 911. We made numerous trips to LeBonheur urgent care for emergency breathing treatments for the asthma he had all the sudden.

I still didn't put two and two together. It wasn't until he developed shingles (he had his MMR and Varicella vax 7 months earlier) that I began to question things.  I knew that you could only get shingles if you've had the chicken pox, and other than the vaccine, he had not. Here is where I started my research.

When I started reading, I learned that each well baby visit stole a small piece of my son... Starting the day he was born.  He had the eczema (albeit not yet diagnosed) by the time they made hospital pictures. I don't remember seeing it the first time I saw him (but I couldn't swear to it after recovery)

It took years of detoxing, researching  and upper cervical chiropractic treatments to get him back. The day he told me "I like this song" I cried.  It was the first coherent sentence he'd ever said to me. He was five.  We were finally able to get him potty trained that summer before Kindergarten. "Quiet Wiatt" Just had his 10th birthday last week.  We still see the effects from the vaccines every now and then, but I know how blessed I am to be one of the "lucky ones" who still gets to kiss him goodnight every night.

The part I left out of the story is: I had a sick feeling at every well baby visit. And at every visit, I ignored it.  #HearThisWell My advice to new moms and dads is TRUST YOUR GUT!!
& Educate before you vaccinate.

Sincerely,
Wiatt's Mom

Vaccine-Injured in Mississippi | Wheeler's Story

This is Wheeler's story as told my his grandmother, Judy Brasher, retired CRNA in Holcomb, MS

To make my position clear I am not anti-vaccine. I am against a government program that has no accountability whatsoever. Anytime there is no accountability you can bet that money not safety becomes the bottom line.

                             

The first pic of Wheeler was made when he was 1 year old. We made a list of the 20 words that we could remember him saying. Words like juice, duck, quack-quack, car, and green. 

He received 9 vaccines in one day a month later. The second pic was made about 5 months later. He had lost all of his words by then, quit looking us in the eye, and lost all social skills such as playing where’s Wheeler and hiding his face as he has done. It was 2 years before we heard words again.
You can see that he is obviously enjoying the spaghetti in the first pic. By the second pic he would not eat spaghetti or anything with that consistency. He just started eating spaghetti again 2 years ago and even now the sauce has to be pureed. Today his gut is in a mess. He lives with constant abdominal discomfort.

This little boy was not born with autism. Notice the sparkle in his eyes in the first pic and the fog in the second. On his medical record the pediatrician noted normal developed toddler at 12 months and there is an official diagnosis of autism 5 months later in the record. What we call autism in him should really be called Post Vaccine Brain Injury Syndrome.

Because of Mississippi's rigid vaccine law, Wheeler's parents left Mississippi and their family here, moving across the state line to Arkansas in order to protect Wheeler's younger sister from the same vaccines that damaged Wheeler. 

Please get interested...our children deserve better.
