This letter addresses an article which appeared on March 30, 2016, entitled "Charter school closed by measles case."

It states that "'The child has fully recovered but many persons have been exposed including other unvaccinated students at the child's school," said a statement from the state Department of Public Health... Vaccinations can reduce the risk of measles but some parents have declined to immunize their children based on now-discredited contentions that vaccinations are linked to medical disorders or autism."

This quote comes from world-renowned Australian researcher Viera Scheibner, Phd, who summarized some 60,000 pages of medical literature on vaccination:

"Immunizations, including those practiced on babies, not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and deaths than has any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention. It will be decades before the mopping up after the disasters caused by childhood vaccinations will be completed. All vaccinations should cease forthwith and all victims of their side effects should be appropriately compensated."

Ms. Scheibner's research showed Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is caused by vaccines.

The DTaP vaccine distributed by Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. includes this in the insert: "Adverse events reported during post-approved use of Tripedia vaccine anaphylactic reaction, cellultitis, autism, grand mal convulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea."

Anthony Morris, MD, head of Biological Standards for the U.S. Dept. of Health stated: "There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good and that there is no rationale for enforcing immunizations."

Prior to the inception of vaccines in Boston in 1942, there was no such disease as autism. There are now over 3.6 million Americans with lifelong cases of autism spectrum disorder. Half of them will never speak and 80 percent will never be able to live independently.

Contentions of damage done by vaccination are not discredited by merely buried in special interest propaganda paying politicians hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the system enforced at any cost.
