Attacking Ourselves Top Doctors Reveal Vaccines Turn Our Immune System Against Us
by Edward Morgan
The research is hard to ignore, vaccines can trigger autoimmunity with a laundry list of
diseases to follow. With harmful and toxic metals as some vaccine ingredients, who is
susceptible and which individuals are more at risk?
No one would accuse Yehuda Shoenfeld of being a quack. The Israeli clinician has spent more
than three decades studying the human immune system and is at the pinnacle of his profession.
You might say he is more foundation than fringe in his specialty; he wrote the textbooks.
The Mosaic of Autoimmunity, Autoantibodies, Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Diseases,
Infection and Autoimmunity, Cancer and Autoimmunity � the list is 25 titles long and some of
them are cornerstones of clinical practice. Hardly surprising that Shoenfeld has been
called the �Godfather of Autoimmunology� � the study of the immune system turned
on itself in a wide array of diseases from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative colitis and
multiple sclerosis.
But something strange is happening in the world of immunology lately and a small evidence
of it is that the Godfather of Autoimmunology is pointing to vaccines � specifically,
some of their ingredients including the toxic metal aluminum � as a significant contributor
to the growing global epidemic of autoimmune diseases. The bigger evidence is a huge body
of research that�s poured in in the past 15 years, and particularly in the past five
years. Take for example, a recent article published in the journal Pharmacological Research
in which Shoenfeld and colleagues issue unprecedented guidelines naming four categories of people
who are most at risk for vaccine-induced autoimmunity.
�On one hand,� vaccines prevent infections which can trigger autoimmunity, say the paper�s
authors, Alessandra Soriano, of the Department of Clinical Medicine and Rheumatology at the
Campus Bio-Medico University in Rome, Gideon Nesher, of the Hebrew University Medical School
in Jerusalem and Shoenfeld, founder and head of the Zabludowicz Center of Autoimmune Diseases
in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. He is also editor of three medical journals
and author of more than 1,500 research papers across the spectrum of medical journalism
and founder of the International Congress on Autoimmunology. �On the other hand, many
reports that describe post-vaccination autoimmunity strongly suggest that vaccines can indeed
trigger autoimmunity. Defined autoimmune diseases that may occur following vaccinations include
arthritis, lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia,
vasculitis, dermatomyosiositis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and demyelinating disorders. Almost
all types of vaccines have been reported to be associated with the onset of ASIA.�
ASIA � or Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (also known as Shoenfeld�s
syndrome) � first appeared in the Journal of Autoimmunology four years ago. It is an
umbrella term for a collection of similar symptoms, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
that result after exposure to an adjuvant � an environmental agent including common
vaccine ingredients that stimulate the immune system. Since then an enormous body of research,
using ASIA as a paradigm, has begun to unravel the mystery of how environmental toxins, particularly
the metal aluminum used in vaccines, can trigger an immune system chain reaction in susceptible
individuals and may lead to overt autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune disease results when the body�s system meant to attack foreign invaders turns
instead to attack part of the body it belongs to (auto is Greek for self). If the immune
system is like a national defence system, antibodies are like drones programmed to recognize
a certain type of invader (a bacteria say) and to destroy them or mark them for destruction
by other special forces. Autoantibodies are like drones that are misidentifying a component
of the human body and have launched a sustained attack on it. If they mistakenly target a
component of the conductive sheath around neurons, for example, nerve impulses stop
conducting properly, muscles go into spasm and coordination fails; multiple sclerosis
results. If autoantibodies erroneously focus on joint tissue; rheumatoid arthritis results.
If they target the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, Type 1 diabetes, and so on
�Throughout our lifetime the normal immune system walks a fine line between preserving
normal immune reactions and developing autoimmune diseases,� says the paper. �The healthy
immune system is tolerant to self-antigens. When self-tolerance is disturbed, dysregulation
of the immune system follows, resulting in emergence of an autoimmune disease. Vaccination
is one of the conditions that may disturb this homeostasis in susceptible individuals,
resulting in autoimmune phenomena and ASIA.�
Who is �susceptible� is the subject of the paper entitled, �Predicting post-vaccination
autoimmunity: Who might be at risk?� It lists four categories of people: 1) those
who have had a previous autoimmune reaction to a vaccine, 2) anyone with a medical history
of autoimmunity, 3) patients with a history of allergic reactions, 4) anyone at high risk
of developing autoimmune disease including anyone with a family history of autoimmunity,
presence of autoantibodies which are detectable by blood tests and other factors including
low vitamin D and smoking.
PREVIOUS REACTION
Regarding those who have had a previous adverse reaction to vaccines, the paper cites five
relevant studies including the case of a death of a teenage girl six months following her
third Gardasil injection against HPV virus. She had experienced a range of symptoms shortly
after her first dose, including dizziness, numbness and tingling in her hands, and memory
lapses. After her second injection, she developed �intermittent arm weakness, frequent tiredness
requiring daytime naps,� worse tingling, night sweats, chest pain and palpitations.
A full autopsy was unrevealing but blood and spleen tissue analysis revealed HPV-16 L1
gene DNA fragments � matching the DNA found in vials of the Gardasil vaccine against cervical
cancer � �thus implicating the vaccine as a causal factor.� The DNA fragments had
also been found to be �complexed with the aluminum adjuvant� which, according to the
report, have been shown to persist for up to 8 to 10 years causing chronic immune system
stimulation.
�Although data is limited,� Shoenfeld and his colleagues concluded, �it seems
preferable that individuals with prior autoimmune or autoimmune-like reactions to vaccinations,
should not be immunized, at least not with the same type of vaccine.�
ESTABLISHED AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION
The second group which the paper cites for vaccine exemption is patients with �established
autoimmune conditions.� Vaccines don�t work so well in them, say Shoenfeld and his
colleagues, and they are at �risk for flares following vaccination.� Inoculations that
contain live viruses including chickenpox, yellow fever and the measles, mumps and rubella
triple vaccine (MMR) are �generally contraindicated� for people with autoimmune conditions because
of the risk of �uncontrolled viral replication.� But inactivated vaccines are not such a good
idea either because they usually contain the added ingredient aluminum, linked to autoimmunity.
The immunologists describe recent studies in which patients with autoimmune rheumatic
disease given the influenza vaccine (without aluminum) suffered more joint pain and fever
than controls and whose levels of autoantibodies (the drones that attack self) increased after
receiving the flu vaccine. What�s more, they developed new types of autoantibodies
that weren�t present before the vaccines, and those persisted. As the presence of autoantibodies
can be predictive of developing autoimmune disease in patients without symptoms, even
years ahead of disease onset, this is troubling to those who understand immunology.
A number of studies claim vaccines are safe for the �overwhelming majority of patients
with established autoimmune diseases,� the study allows, but they only looked at rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus and not at severe and active cases so �the potential benefit of
vaccination should be weighed against its potential risk,� they cautioned.
PATIENTS WITH A HISTORY OF ALLERGY
Vaccine trials have usually excluded �vulnerable� individuals � only extremely healthy individuals
with no allergies are recruited. It�s a �selection bias,� say Soriano and Shoenfeld,
and has likely resulted in serious adverse events being �considerably underestimated�
in �real life where vaccines are mandated to all individuals regardless of their susceptibility.�
The true incidence of allergic reactions to vaccines, normally estimated at between one
in 50,000 to one in a million doses, is probably much higher and particularly where gelatin
or egg proteins are on the ingredients list, they say.
There�s a long list of vaccine ingredients that are potential allergens: besides the
infectious agents themselves, there are those from hen�s egg, horse serum, baker�s yeast,
numerous antibiotics, formaldehyde and lactose, as well �inadvertent� ingredients such
as latex. People�s allergic histories have to be taken before vaccination say the researchers.
But some signs of reaction don�t show up until after the shot.
The public health nurse or GP might tell patients that a long-lasting swelling around the injection
site after a vaccine is a normal reaction, for example. But that is not what the immunologists
say. �[A]luminum sensitization manifests as nodules [hard lumps] at the injection site
that often regress after weeks or months, but may persist for years.� In such cases,
they say, a patch test can be done to confirm sensitivity and to avoid vaccination.
According to a growing body of research, though, allergy may be only the beginning of many
dangerous aluminum-induced phenomena.
THE TROUBLE WITH ALUMINUM
Aluminum has been added to vaccines since about 1926 when Alexander Glenny and colleagues
noticed it would produce better antibody responses in vaccines than the antigen alone. Glenny
figured the alum was inducing what he called a �depot effect� � slowing the release
of the antigen and heightening the immune response. For 60 years his theory was accepted
dogma. And over the same time, the vaccine schedule grew decade on decade, but few ever
questioned the effects of injecting aluminum into the body, which is strange considering
its known toxicity.
A PubMed search on aluminum and �toxicity� turns up 4,258 entries. Its neurotoxicity
is well documented. It affects memory, cognition, psychomotor control; it damages the blood
brain barrier, activates brain inflammation, depresses mitochondrial function and plenty
of research suggests it is a key player in the formation of the amyloid �plaques�
and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer�s patients. It�s been implicated in Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis and autism and demonstrated to induce allergy.
When kidney dialysis patients were accidentally infused with aluminum, the �dialysis-induced
encephalopathy� (DAE) they developed neurological symptoms: speech abnormalities, tremors, memory
loss, impaired concentration and behavioural changes. Many of the patients eventually went
into comas and died. The lucky ones survived: when the source of toxicity, aluminum, was
removed from their dialysis they recovered rapidly.
With these new observations, researchers began investigating the adjuvant effects of aluminum
and in the past decade there has been a flurry of research. Far from being a sandbag that
holds the antigen for a while and then gets excreted, it turns out that aluminum salts
trigger a storm of defence action. Within hours of injection of the same aluminum oxyhydroxide
in vaccines into mice, for example, armies of specialized immune cells are on the move,
calling in grid coordinates for more specialist assault forces. Within a day, a whole host
of immune system commandos are in play � neutrophils, eosinophils, inflammatory monocytes, myeloid
and dendritic cells, activating lymphocytes and secreting proteins called cytokines. The
cytokines themselves cause collateral damage but they send out signals, directing cell-to-cell
communication and recruiting other cells into action. If the next phase of the attack is
launched: fibroblast growth factor, interferons, interleukins, platelet derived growth factor,
transforming growth factor and tumour necrosis factor might all be engaged. There�s evidence
that poorly understood and pesky inflammasomes, (currently a topic of cutting- edge cancer
causation research) such as the Nod-like receptor 3( NLRP) are activated too, but it�s all
still too early to say exactly what they�re doing.
New research emerging from University of British Columbia has found that aluminum adjuvant
injected into mice can alter the expression of genes associated with autoimmunity. And
in their recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, immunologists
at the University of Colorado found that even host DNA is recruited into the aluminum assault,
that it rapidly coats injected alum, triggering effects that scientists have barely scratched
the surface of understanding.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROPHAGIC MYOFASCIITIS
This mobility or �translocation� of aluminum in the body is perhaps the most disturbing
of the mounting evidence in current aluminum research. In 1998, French researcher Romain
Gherardi and his colleagues observed an emerging condition of unknown origin which presented
in patients post-vaccination with Chronic Fatigue like symptoms including swollen lymph
nodes, joint and muscle pain and exhaustion. Tissue biopsies of the patients� deltoid
revealed lesions up to 1 cm in diameter and unique from similar lesions of other diseases.
They went to the lab for analysis and to Gherardi�s astonishment, they mainly consisted of macrophages
� large white blood cells in the immune system whose job is to swallow up foreign
invaders in the body. Enclosed in the cellular fluid of these phagocytes were agglomerates
of nanocrystals of aluminum.
Gherardi and his colleagues began injecting mice with aluminum to see what happened. Their
research published in 2013 revealed that the metal particles were engulfed by macrophages
and formed MMF-like granulomas that dispersed � to distant lymph nodes, spleen, liver
and eventually brain.
�This strongly suggests that long-term adjuvant biopersistence within phagocytic cells is
a prerequisite of slow brain translocation and delayed neurotoxicity,� writes Gherardi
in his February 2015 review of the relevant research in Frontiers in Neurology.
A more frightening animal study of aluminum is that of Spanish veterinary researcher Lluis
Lujan�s study of ovine ASIA. After huge numbers of sheep in Spain died in 2008 in
the wake of a compulsory multiple vaccine campaign against bluetongue in Spain in 2008,
Lujan set out to find out what killed them � and he began by inoculating them with
aluminum.
His 2013 study found that only 0.5% of sheep inoculated with aluminum vaccines showed immediate
reactions of lethargy, transient blindness, stupor, prostration and seizures � �characterized
by a severe meningoencephalitis, similar to postvaccine reactions seen in humans.� Most
of them recovered, temporarily, but postmortem exams of the ones who didn�t revealed acute
brain inflammation.
The delayed onset �chronic� phase of the disease affected far more of the sheep � 50-70%
of flocks and sometimes virtually 100% of animals within a given flock, usually including
all of those who had previously recovered. The reaction was frequently triggered by exposure
to cold and began with restlessness and compulsive wool-biting, then progressed to acute redness
of the skin, generalized weakness, extreme weight loss and muscle tremors, and finally,
entered the terminal phase where the animals went down on their front quarters, became
comatose and died. Post-mortem examinations revealed �severe neuron necrosis� and
aluminum in the nerve tissue.
The immune system�s reaction to aluminum �represents a major health challenge,�
Gerhardi declares in his recent review, and he adds that �attempts to seriously examine
safety concerns raised by the bio-persistent character and brain accumulation of alum particles
have not been made� A lot must be done to understand how, in certain individuals, alum-containing
vaccines may become insidiously unsafe.�
Back to the problem of which �certain individuals� should avoid vaccination to avoid autoimmune
disease.
PEOPLE PRONE TO DEVELOP AUTOIMMUNITY
Soriano and Shoenfeld�s identify a final category: anyone at risk of developing autoimmune
disease. Since a number of them have been shown to have genetic factors that would include
anyone with a family history of autoimmune disease. It also includes anyone who has tested
positive for autoantibodies which can indicate disease years before symptoms show up. Vaccinations,
the doctors say, �may trigger or worsen the disease.�
Smokers too, have an exceptionally high risk of developing an autoimmune disease, says
the report. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 18% of Americans smoke. That means
about 42 million Americans have an elevated risk of developing an autoimmune disease and
they�re stacking the odds with every vaccine.
And finally, factors that Shoenfeld and Soriano associate with high risk of developing autoimmunity
are high estrogen and low vitamin D � which means anyone taking birth control or hormone
replacement therapy and, according to one 2009 study of vitamin D status, about three
quarters of American teens and adults should be wary of vaccines.
Shoenfeld doesn�t seem to mean to exclude all of these people from immunization, however.
The paper concludes that �for the overwhelming majority of individuals, vaccines carry no
risk of systemic autoimmune disease and should be administered according to current recommendations.�
Which is in stark contrast to the body of the paper. The final word is cautionary about
weighing the �potential benefit of vaccination�against its potential risk.�
It�s exemplary of a strange sort of schizophrenia in a wide range of recent immunology papers.
The doctors seem to be trying to reconcile a century of �safe and effective� vaccine
dogma with the last decade�s worth of terrifying research findings. There�s a lot of �on
the one hand� and �on the other hand� in them.
The new research seems about to gain the upper hand, however. A 2013 overview of ASIA by
six immunologists including Shoenfeld, for example, is a catalogue of vaccine side effects
from Gardasil deaths, narcolepsy epidemics, infertility, chronic fatigue, dead sheep and
aluminum-addled brains. It is rife with statements that would have been virtually unheard of
inside mainstream medicine a decade ago. Like this shocker:
�Perhaps, in twenty years, physicians will be dueling with better characterized particles
of autoimmunity, and the vaccines may become fully safe as well as effective. Nonetheless
the recognition of ASIA has initiated the change to put more efforts in identifying
the good, the bad and the ugly of vaccines and in particular of adjuvants as triggers
of autoimmunity.� Bad and ugly of vaccines? What�s wrong with the adjuvants? That�s
not in the CDC hand-out.
Or how about this one:
�Despite the huge amount of money invested in studying vaccines, there are few observational
studies and virtually no randomized clinical trials documenting the effect on mortality
of any of the existing vaccines. One recent paper found an increased hospitalization rate
with the increase of the number of vaccine doses and a mortality rate ratio for 5-8 vaccine
doses to 1-4 doses of 1.5, indicating a statistically significant increase of deaths associated
with higher vaccine doses. Since vaccines are given to millions of infants annually,
it is imperative that health authorities have scientific data from synergistic toxicity
studies on all combinations of vaccines�� That could be any anti-vaxxer jabbering on�but
it�s not.
But here is the topper:
�The US Supreme Court ruled that vaccines makers are immune from lawsuits charging that
the design of the vaccine is defective. Thus there is need for innovative clinical trial
design and the vaccines themselves should be redesigned.� Immunologists including
the world�s leading authority on autoimmunity are saying it is time to take vaccines back
to the drawing board.
Autoimmune disease is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and now
among the top 10 killers of young American women. The American Autoimmune Related Diseases
Association estimates that 50 million Americans suffer from one of 88 autoimmune diseases
� from type 1 diabetes to systemic lupus erythematosus � and some research puts the
figure at one in five globally. At least 40 more diseases are suspected to be immune-mediated.
Most of them are devastating � frequently crippling, expensive to treat and incurable.
And they are increasing at an astonishing pace.
At this stage, it looks like the more the research pours in, the harder it is going
to get for pro-vaccine immunologists to keep multiple personality disorder � or complete
nervous breakdown � at bay. Ten years of cutting edge research into aluminum�s effects
on the immune system has revealed primarily how wrong they were. And how little they know.
If, after 90 years, doctors finally have begun to seriously examine the mechanism and question
the merits of injecting metal toxins into newborn babies, what have they yet to discover?
ASIA sounds awful. (Too bad for all the people whose kids suffered through chronic fatigue
when it was just a Freudian yearning to sleep with their mother.) But what if, like Lujan�s
sheep, the �negligible� minority that has been paying the price for the good of
humanity is actually only the tip of the iceberg? What if some people with no apparent adverse
immune reactions still have nanocrystals of aluminum silently depositing in their brains?
What if ASIA really includes Alzheimer�s? ALS, autism? ADD? And that�s just the A�s.
Even if immunologists keep wearing their rose coloured glasses, and vaccine ingredients
are only responsible for a tiny fraction of the exploding autoimmunity, the �ugly�
in vaccines will still get harder and harder to ignore. When everyone on the planet is
getting injected, 20 years is a long time for disabled people to stack up while scientists
�duel with the characterized particles of autoimmunity.� In the fury over the Disneyland
measles outbreak that is gripping the world�s vaccine promoters, time is running out for
doctors and researchers who see the �bad and ugly� side of vaccines and their adjuvants
to do something about it. There�s slim chance of a vaccine redesign in the absence of a
profit incentive and a strong chance of universal vaccine mandates for one and all � previous
anaphylactic shock reaction or not.
