It’s hard enough to challenge authority. But when that authority is a doctor or nurse, caregivers we often see when we are sick, hurt, pregnant, challenging them becomes even more difficult.

When she was a 29-year-old graduate student and pregnant for the first time, Schuster Institute Senior Fellow Jennifer Margulis, now an award-winning author of several books, had no reason not to trust her doctors. But time and again, Margulis left her prenatal checkups wracked with anxiety. Her doctors got defensive when she asked them questions. She and her husband felt bullied into doing tests and procedures she did not want and wondered if she needed. Why, she asked herself, when she had the privilege of receiving healthcare in the world’s finest medical and healthcare establishments, did it feel like so much was going wrong.

Then, just after Margulis had given birth, a nurse marched into her hospital room intent on vaccinating her hours-old newborn for hepatitis B. Hep B is a sexually transmitted disease which she and her husband had been tested for with negative results.

“We told the nurse we wanted more information” Margulis writes in her new book “The Business of Baby.” The nurse unhappily obliged. Two weeks later, her pediatrician applauded her move, telling her that news had just been faxed to doctors warning them not to give that vaccine to newborns.

A journalist with an inquiring, wide-ranging mind, Margulis set out to uncover why the United States spends more money on health care than any other country in the world yet in spite of this, it is more dangerous to give birth in America than in other industrialized countries.

If you’ve ever been in a doctor’s office with a child, you know what I mean. Doctors are well known for applying psychological pressure to parents questioning vaccines. Maybe you’ve experienced this pressure? Here are five psychological triggers doctors use against you, the parent, and some of the suggestions you can use to overcome them. ~ Jeffry Aufderheide

Many doctors wish mothers would remain silent and just get their child vaccinated.

If you’ve ever been in a doctor’s office with a child, you know what I mean. Doctors are well known for applying psychological pressure to parents questioning vaccines. Maybe you’ve experienced this pressure? Here are five psychological triggers doctors use against you, the parent, and some of the suggestions you can use to overcome them.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TRIGGER #1: POWER OF AUTHORITY

This is one of the most powerful psychological triggers, as you will see.

Doctors are in a position of authority – they went to medical school. (You didn’t.) This fact alone puts them in a unique position and you are paying for their advice.

Society in general makes assumptions that doctors know the absolute best information for your health relating to all topics – especially vaccines. Often, doctors repeat the information given to them by the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration.

The doctor’s assumption is this: if the FDA approves a drug and the CDC recommends it, it must be safe. Maybe they haven’t heard of 100,000 DEATHS yearly from adverse (FDA-approved) drug reactions? [1]

Taken to the extreme, some doctors abuse their power in a predatory fashion. The nature of their authority takes on a bully-like quality.

Should you listen to them about vaccines? After all, they are wearing a white coat.

Examples of the Power of Authority:

• Stanley Milgram devised experiments suggesting people are merely following orders, despite violating their deepest moral beliefs. [2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcvSNg0HZwk
• “According to Professor [Michael] Cohen, “in case after case, patients, nurses, pharmacists, and other physicians do not question the prescription.” “A physician ordered ear drops to be administered to the right ear of a patient suffering pain and infection there. But instead of writing out completely the location “right ear” on the prescription, the doctor abbreviated it so that the instructions read “place in R ear.” Upon receiving the prescription, the duty nurse promptly put the required number of ear drops into the patient’s anus…Yet neither the patient nor the nurse questioned it.” [3]

What You Can Do…

Realize the doctor may not have as much knowledge or training on vaccines as you think. The Latin word for doctor is “docere,” meaning to teach. Is your doctor teaching you how to build better health, or are they using their position to convince you to get your child injected?

• You are a parasite to society.
• You are being irresponsible.
• You are a bad parent.
• You are not a doctor.
• Your child cannot go to school without vaccines.
• Your child will die without “life-saving” vaccines.
• You are free-loading off of society’s herd immunity.
• You are getting the benefits of vaccination without paying the price.
• You are an “Internet Mom.”
• You don’t understand science.
• You do not care about your child’s health or future.
• Your ignorance is causing diseases to come back.

What You Can Do…

Recognize this behavior for what it is: a form of passive-aggressive behavior coming from the insecurities of the doctor. It’s pure emotion.

Most mothers attend the well-baby checkups by themselves. Have your husband or a good friend who supports your decision come with you to the doctor’s office.

Here are some suggested questions you can ask your pediatrician. Naturally, use your own discernment:

• Will you read out loud and review with me the ingredients of the vaccine you intend to inject into my child?
• How will the combined ingredients in vaccines make my child healthier?
• If vaccines work, how is my child a threat to vaccinated children?
• If vaccines work, what is the point of booster shots?
• Since every child is different biologically, how do you know when a vaccine works and when it does not? How do you test that?
• What scientific tests do you perform before and after vaccination to rule out my child is having an adverse reaction?
• If you inject my child with multiple vaccines at once, if there is an adverse reaction, how do you know which vaccine is the culprit?
• Can you show me the safety studies showing me the effects of injecting multiple vaccines at once?

Note: Your doctor will not likely know the answers to these questions and get angry with you.

A new study by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reveals that, despite increasing uptake of human papillomavirus (HVP) vaccines, cancers linked to HPV rose in the past decade.

The report, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, was co-authored by researchers from the American Cancer Society (ACS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), and found that while overall cancer death rates in the U.S. continue to decline among both men and women over the past decade, incidence rates are actually increasing for HPV-associated oral, vulva and anal cancers.

As reported by Fierce Vaccines, this finding may “irk HPV vaccine makers Merck and GlaxoSmithKline,” whose vaccines have been adopted and lauded by national and global health authorities as safe and effective, ‘live saving’ interventions.

Obviously, if the report is correct, and by 2010 as many as 48.7 percent of girls ages 13 through 17 had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, and 32 percent received all three recommended doses, we should expect to find a widespread decline in HPV-associated cancers if the vaccines actually work as advertised.

While HPV-associated diseases are multifactorial in etiology, with environmental exposures, co-infections, immune dysfunction, nutritional incompatibilities, excesses and deficiencies, and stress-related physiological factors playing key roles, the vaccine industry and their governmental extensions have largely opted for reductionism in their marketing, projecting the rhetorical view that HPV is the single most important, if not the only cause of HPV-associated conditions such as anal and cervical cancer.

All the more reason why this new study is so devastating to their aggressive marketing and PR campaigns, and why the subsequent rallying cry for greater HPV vaccine coverage as the solution to the vaccine’s failure — though extremely typical — is all the more disturbing.

Recently, we covered the fatal flaws in HPV vaccine promotion in The HPV Vaccine Debate: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, wherein we discussed the expert testimony of HPV researcher Dr. Diane Harper on Katie Couric’s controversial show dedicated to the topic, and the CDC’s own admission that the HPV vaccines being used today have very limited effectiveness:

According to the CDC’s website, there are over 100 forms of HPV that have been identified thus far, with the vaccine only protecting (in theory) against four, namely, HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18.[xiii] Nor does vaccination speed the clearance of pre-existing HPV 16/18 infection, making Dr. Harper’s point about the prevalence of HPV infection in those younger than 11 all the more poignant.[xiv] So, how effective can a 2-4 strain vaccine possibly be even if it works 100% of the time against them?

The answer is of course: not very effective. And nowhere is this more clearly evident than in the case of African-American girls and women…

Only two months ago, a groundbreaking but virtually unknown report on the National Library of Medicine’s health information portal Medline Plus, revealed a disturbing fact about the HPV vaccine, and the institutionalized ‘color blindness’ in biomedicine today that is having significant adverse impacts on minority populations. Researchers from Duke University found that although African-American women are twice as likely as Caucasian women to die from cervical cancer, HPV vaccines target strains of HPV that are far less likely to infect them, and are not found in the most concerning precancerous abnormalities. –

One is morally free to use the vaccine regardless of its historical association with abortion. The reason is that the risk to public health, if one chooses not to vaccinate, outweighs the legitimate concern about the origins of the vaccine. This is especially important for parents, who have a moral obligation to protect the life and health of their children and those around them.

The NCBC does note that Catholics should encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop future vaccines without the use of these cell strains. To address concerns about fetal cells remaining as actual ingredients of the vaccines, however, they specifically note that fetal cells were used only to begin the cell strains that were used in the preparation of the vaccine virus:

Descendant cells are the medium in which these vaccines are prepared. The cell lines under consideration were begun using cells taken from one or more fetuses aborted almost 40 years ago. Since that time the cell lines have grown independently. It is important to note that descendant cells are not the cells of the aborted child. They never, themselves, formed a part of the victim’s body.

Current Vaccines Developed Using Human Cell Strains

Two main human cell strains have been used to develop currently available vaccines, in each case with the original fetal cells in question obtained in the 1960s. The WI-38 cell strain was developed in 1961 in the United States, and the MRC-5 cell strain (also started with fetal lung cells) was developed in 1965 in the United Kingdom. No new or additional fetal cells are required in order to sustain the two cell strains.

The vaccines below were developed using either the WI-38 or the MRC-5 cell strains.

• Hepatitis A vaccines [VAQTA/Merck, Havrix/GlaxoSmithKline, and part of Twinrix/GlaxoSmithKline]
• Rubella vaccine [MERUVAX II/Merck, part of MMR II/Merck, and ProQuad/Merck]
• Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine [Varivax/Merck, and part of ProQuad/Merck]
• Zoster (shingles) vaccine [Zostavax/Merck]
• Adenovirus Type 4 and Type 7 oral vaccine [Barr Labs] *
• Rabies vaccine [IMOVAX/Sanofi Pasteur] *

* Vaccine not routinely given

Several vaccines currently available in the United States were developed using animal cell lines, primarily using cells from African green monkeys. These include vaccines against Japanese encephalitis, rotavirus, polio, and smallpox. Of these, only rotavirus and polio vaccines are routinely given.

In a matter of a few years, flu shots have gone from being a marginal, money-losing business to a massive profit generator for a small number of global companies, as governments and the public hasten to protect themselves from getting sick. Between 2004 and 2007, vaccine sales across the industry soared an average of 32 per cent each year, with flu vaccine leading the way. That is roughly four
times faster than any other pharmaceutical product.

This is the story of how that happened – how Flu Inc. grew out of nowhere, transforming a once struggling business characterized by lab closures and lawsuits into a high-profit industry in less than a decade, and of the steps the pharmaceutical industry has taken to ensure the dollars keep flowing. The change is driven by a new way of thinking in government about how to approach future threats of a flu pandemic. Health officials have begun to see merit in pursuing a strategy of stockpiling vaccines, even at a much higher cost per dose than they paid in the past…

Once a country bought a large supply of adjuvant, it was locked in as a buyer for Glaxo’s antigen for years to come. Countries were not just vaccine buyers now; they were subscribers, coming back annually to the company for more and different types of shots… In the past 12 months, the number of countries using such stockpiling methods has grown to 60 from less than 10. (See discussion of how the UK is negotiating with GSK to cancel H1N1 shots and in exchange stockpile GSK’s adjuvant, here

… Soaring vaccine sales are also pushing companies to chase profit in other types of shots. The race is now on to develop blockbuster vaccines, defined as those that bring in more than $1-billion annually. Two recently developed vaccines – Prevnar for pneumonia and Gardasil for cervical cancer – have become blockbusters, selling close to $2-billion a year…. It’s a new marketplace.

Jock Doubleday, director of the California non-profit corporation Natural Woman, Natural Man, Inc., has offered $75,000 to the first medical doctor or pharmaceutical company CEO who publicly drinks a mixture of standard vaccine additives.

The additives would be the same as those contained in the vaccines recommended for a 6-year-old according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, and the dose would be body-weight calibrated.

 It would include, but not be limited to:

Thimerosal (a mercury derivative)

Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

Phenol (a disinfectant dye)

Aluminum

Benzethonium chloride (a disinfectant)

Formaldehyde (a preservative and disinfectant)

On August 1, 2007, if no one has taken the challenge, the offer will be increased to $90,000 and will increase at a rate of $5,000 per month until someone accepts.

** As of this post, no one has officially accepted this challenge!  http://www.knowthelies.com/node/86
