from Dr Suzanne Humphries
She covers fascinating information on tetanus. She also goes into immunity and non responders and responders and the effects that vaccines have on our genes, that is the epigentic effects. The video is 45 minutes long and well worth watching.
Some highlights:
On the reduction of mortality and incidence of infectious disease:
It’s about the people, not the mircrobe, that people are stronger (better living conditions, nutrition etc) is more important than the microbe being strong.
With regard to tetanus, historically, it was mostly a disease of women and children. In Finland the last case of tetanus in a baby was in 1915; Finland began vaccinating babies for tetanus in 1957.
There is not much difference in antibody levels for tetanus in the vaccinated vs the non-vaccinated.
The most important thing in prevention of tetanus is wound care.
She describes how the tetanus vaccine was made using rotten meat, and pancreatic juices mixed with blood.
Generally, vaccines are only safe in relations to a specific person, that is everyone is different and will react differently to vaccines.
Non-responders, a study showed that 39% of vaccinated healthy children did not respond to a vaccine, either with cell mediated immunity or humoral immunity. That is way more than the small number of non-vaccinated. So there is likely a much higher rate of those without immunity, many more are assumed to be immune than actually are.
At the end of the talk she goes into the epigenetic alterations caused by vaccines, citing a study on a small group of African girls which looked at the gene response following vaccination of DTaP and a Swedish study on the blood of babies vaccinated with polio and Hib which was challenged with pertussis bacteria and the what the various genes were activated. Regardless, of if you think that vaccines have some value in preventing disease, the impact on the physique, which is totally different for each single particular person will have to be of problem.&#thirteen;
