Guns, Vaccines, and Aleppo (and HAPPY NEW YEAR!)

You may be wondering why I chose these three things.  Aleppo had been in the news a lot the past several months, and people have been horrified by what has been happening there.  That one child who was pulled out of the rubble - I'm sure those who have seen his face won't forget it.  Gun violence and mass shootings in the U.S. also make the news, almost every day and we won't forget that anytime soon.  But vaccine injuries and deaths - why is it that the deaths and permanent injuries, and the same pain and suffering as the first two are never seen on the news?

Most deaths associated with vaccines are called SIDS, or are listed as "cause unknown or undetermined," even when it happens within minutes or hours of the vaccine injection.  They say the injuries and deaths were just a coincidence.  Imagine the outrage if someone was shot and died and they said it was a coincidence that that person died.  You know, he was about to have heart failure or become paralyzed and the bullet had nothing to do with what happened.

The makers of vaccines have no liability for them.  If you have a claim, you have to go to the "Vaccine Court," and if you are lucky enough to win, the money comes from an extra tax on the vaccines that cause the injuries and deaths.  The maker of the vaccine pays nothing.  Imagine if they did that with bullets and guns - shooters wouldn't liable and if you could collect a settlement (most of which would be turned down), it would be from a tax on the bullets.

No one knows how many deaths and injuries are caused by vaccines - it may only be in the thousands, or it may be in the hundreds of thousands.  No way to know because it's blamed it on anything other than the vaccine.  Plus the injuries may take months or years to show up as diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, etc.  The autism is, of course, coincidental according to the drug companies.  Funny that as vaccine rates have increased, autism has followed that increase, from 1 in 10,000 in the early 1980s to around 1 in 50 today.

Getting back to guns, vaccines, and Aleppo - people are upset about gun violence and Aleppo thanks to the news.  Vaccines are probably killing and injuring more than those two combined, but due to the news blackout, almost nobody notices.  This damage is being done mostly to your children.

To get an idea of the injuries and deaths from some of the vaccines, here is a link to a chart I made from VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), and keep in mind that only 1 out of 10 to less than 1 out of 100 ever gets reported):  Vaccinations - Forget Everything Else For Now, Except This.

I'm hoping that by making these comparisons that vaccine injuries and deaths will have the same impact on you as gun violence and Aleppo has.  I'm hoping, too, it will cause you to at least dig deeper into researching (from independent sources) and questioning them.

Another thing I've been reading lately on comments to vaccine articles:  Some commenters are asking if you would rather your child be autistic or dead, meaning that without the vaccine, your child will surely die.  That is a ridiculous scare tactic, or else we would have no one who was not vaccinated living over 60, including me.  And I'm writing this, so I know I'm still alive, and actually very healthy.  So the real question is would you rather your child grows up with or without brain damage?  What do you think your child would prefer?

What should you do?  Here's an idea - Dr. Paul Offit said children could get 10,000 vaccines safely.  So next time you bring your child for his/her well baby visit, ask if all those vaccines they have lined up are for your child.  If they say yes, ask them to inject them into the doctor first to make sure they are safe.  After all, if a child can get 10,000 vaccines, an adult should be able to get ten times that many.  So he should be more than happy to comply with each of his clients.  No doubt you'll hear the door slam behind you on your way out, LOL.

This bears repeating - do your research from independent sources, check VAERS, read the actual package inserts that are in the vaccine box, look at the graphs of diseases going back to at least 1900 (here) and then look at when vaccines came along (note that the drug companies, doctors, etc., will use graphs from the 1950s to make it appear vaccines got rid of diseases).  Compare those graphs that had vaccines to those diseases that did not have vaccines, and use some common sense and logic, then I believe there is only one conclusion you can come to.  For the health and well being of yourself and your children, I hope you will do that.  Oh, and keep in mind that the media, drug companies, doctors, and government are all profiting from the sale of vaccines, and have no liability for them.

Bottom Line:  If you value your freedom, your health, your life, and those of your loved ones, and you don't want to be part of a medical experiment, then you owe it to yourself and them to take the time to do the research and learn the truth.  Soon it may be too late.

With that, I wish you all a safe, healthy, and happy 2017 and beyond.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

More Vaccination Links for Your Research

Hope these links will help in your research in finding the TRUTH about vaccines.  I can pretty much guarantee you will never hear this information in the mainstream media.  This is only a fraction of what is available for research, but I thought they were some excellent articles and videos.

Vaccines Did Not Save Us - Charts going back to the 1800s which show the decline in diseases before and after vaccines, including Typhoid and Scarlet Fever for which there was either no vaccine, or very few got vaccinated (and those diseases are gone anyway, following the same slope down as for all the other diseases).  Excellent resource.

CDC Lists 131 Causes of Death For A Child but Omits Vaccines - And yet, vaccines are responsible for an untold (literally untold) amount of deaths.  As of now, about $3.5 billion has been paid out for deaths and injuries from vaccines.

NEW NORDIC COCHRANE CENTRE COMPLAINT DESTROYING HPV 'SAFE AND EFFECTIVE' NARRATIVE  - The Cochrane Centre is the gold standard of truthful reporting.  See how safe and effective the HPV vaccine really is.

The Flu Vaccine: Something to Sneeze At ~ by Roman Bystrianyk - Uses graphs, past data, and statistics regarding flu vaccination.  With plenty of references that you can check.  Before you believe the media and get a flu shot, you should definitely read this!

Preparing for the “Well-Baby” or “Well-Child” Visit if You Don’t Plan to Vaccinate - This article makes me wonder why even go to a well baby/child visit if you have a well baby.  Also read the comments at the bottom for exactly this question.

Doctors Disagree With Charges Against Dr. Bob Sears, Assert Vaccine Safety Is A Concern - This link relates to the letter by Edmond G. Brown Jr. referenced in the previous link regarding SB-277.  In CA, doctors are supposed to be able to give a medical exemption, but when one doctor did, read about what happened.

The Silent Epidemic, A Gary Null Production - A 1 hour 48 minute movie which pretty much summarizes all my posts about vaccines.  It's almost like I could have written it!  And a must watch before you every get yourself or anyone else vaccinated!

CDC vaccine science covers up giant conflict of interest - by Jon Rappoport, an investigative reporter for 30 years, nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and more.

The vaccination policy and the Code of Practice of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI): are they at odds? By Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD  - A long PDF document, but with a short summary on page 43.

The Flu Vaccine–What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You (Or Probably Doesn’t Even Know) - If you're thinking of getting the flu vaccine, this is a must read.  The article is well researched and has numerous built-in links.  If you have questions, they may be answered in the comments section.

Govt. Researchers: Flu Shots Not Effective in Elderly, After All - Title says it all, but read the article if you think your parents or grandparents should get the flu shot.  I know a person in his 70s who gets the flu shot each year, and gets the flu.  He told me it would have been a lot worse if he hadn't gotten the flu.  I told him I don't get the flu shot and don't get the flu.  Didn't do any good - he believes all the propaganda.  At least I tried.

Judgment at Nuremberg Verdict - A short video clip starring Spencer Tracy - Very entertaining and informative.

Dr. Kurt: Why I Will Never Choose to Vaccinate my Own Son and Any Future Kids my Wife and I Have - Goes into his reasons by going over the research.  With charts and links.  And logic!

I have around another 50 links or more, but too numerous to put them all here.  The point is the information is out there from independent sources if you look.  INDEPENDNET SOURCES is the key phrase.  If you only get your information from the media, the vaccine makers, pro-vaccine doctors (especially pediatricians), and the government, you will be completely misinformed about the safety, effectivesness, and the harm that vaccines do.  And apply logic, reasoning, and motives to what you find.  Best of health to all of you!

There Is No Time Machine & Where's The Outrage

NOTE:  This was going to be two blog posts, but they were so closely related, I've combined them.

Unlike some TV shows and movies (The Time Machine, etc.), in real life, time machines don't exist.  Whether they ever will, and how they might work, is a discussion for another day.  Why do I mention this?  Because of the recent election.

I was so happy that the election was finally in the past - no more political ads and no more debates.  No more negativity.  Unfortunately, I was wrong about the negativity.  Between anti-Trumpster street protests and social media, there is outrage and plenty of negativity about the election.  And lots of media coverage of the protests.  I'm sure we can all think of a thousand reasons why Trump should have lost, or why Clinton should have lost, why we should be totally stressed out, why we should be depressed, even why we might want to move to another country and on and on.  But there is no time machine....we can't go back and undo everything that has happened over the past 18 months or so.  Why protest what you can't change when there is something far more important that you can change and that is still happening and will continue to happen unless you do protest.  What might that be?  Please keep reading.

I refuse to dwell on the election (it's in the past and can't be undone) and try not to be depressed about the future as far as the election is concerned.  Besides, depression, anxiety, and stress all affect our health.  I am much more concerned about vaccinations and their relationship to our declining health in this country, and the loss of our freedom from forced medical experimentation and procedures by way of vaccines.  If you've followed my past posts, you would see why vaccinations are about health and perhaps more importantly, about your freedom.  How can you be free if the government can force a procedure on you (vaccines) that can and that have permanently injured or killed adults and their children?  Why is there outrage about the election and not about vaccines?  There is some, but nothing like we've seen with the election results.

Part of the reason, I would guess, is that the media won't cover any news story if it has the slightest negative connotation about vaccines.  When about 70% of their revenue comes from drug company advertising, I'm not surprised.

Here is a link describing Medical Fascism.  Here is the first paragraph from that link:  "Medical fascism is a totalitarian system where the medical establishment, large corporations, and government combine to exert control over the population’s medical procedures. Medical fascism is an offshoot of political fascism, and those who hold power in a medically fascist state behave in roughly the same manner. Examples of medical fascism include medical kidnapping, forced medical treatments, censoring or falsely altering the dissemination of medical information, and the elimination of medical choice, among others. Some of the more debated issues between advocates and opponents of medical fascism are vaccines, the safety and efficacy of medical procedures like chemotherapy, medical abuse, and the right of patients to make informed medical choices regarding treatment. Medical fascism is a direct violation of the four basic moral principles of medical ethics. (autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence)."  It is also a violation of the Nuremberg Code, the Helsinki Accord, and human rights, etc.  This medical fascism is exactly what has been happening in the U.S. (and other countries as well).

A little about math and vaccines - they say only 1 in a million has a severe reaction to any one vaccine.  That is based on total vaccines given and reported vaccine reactions that were paid out by the vaccine court (don't be surprised if you never heard of it - they keep it a pretty good secret).  Because each person receives 70 vaccines through age 18, we have to divide that million by 70, so then it's down to 1 in 15,000.  Only about 1/3 of cases reported gets paid by the court, so then that 15,000 needs to be divided by 3, so now it's one in 5,000.  Now you only have a certain amount of time to file the report, plus don't forget most people don't know about the vaccine court, so maybe 1 in 10 will actually file for a settlement, so now we're down to 1 in 500.  And many people who have a reaction to vaccines don't realize it was the vaccine because most doctors deny it or attribute the deaths to SIDS, SUDS, cause undetermined or unknown cause, and other injuries to psychological causes.  So maybe we need to divide that by 50, so now we have a truer amount of about 1 in 10.  Many people will never know that their health problems (allergies, eczema, asthma, diabetes, cancer, SIDS, etc.) were caused by the vaccines they had received.  So the medical establishment will make the 1 in 10 sound like 1 in a million.  Many vaccines are totally ineffective, or perhaps may even cause the diseases they are supposed to prevent, so you're getting injured or killed for no benefit.  Where's the outrage?

Here is a link to the latest vaccine court settlements (as of Sep 2016).

Once you or your loved ones have been killed or permanently injured from a vaccine or a series of vaccines (and they are giving multiple vaccines at one time!, so multiply each one by 180), you can't go back in time and not get vaccinated.  The damage is done.  There is no time machine.

Now they are giving vaccines to pregnant women - not sure what the equivalent of that would be for the fetus.  If this woman lives in an area where there are Zika mosquitoes, any abnormalities in the newborn will be blamed on Zika, not the vaccines that contain known neurotoxins.  I guess they have to invent something for the damage they do.

It's time to let go of the past, it's time to enjoy the present, and it's time to plan for the future.  That may mean educating others (or at least trying to) in a positive way.  This is what I have been trying to do with the vaccination issue as many of you know.  And also with health, in general.

So, if you want to worry about something, and protest something, worry about and protest your loss of freedom, the permanent injury and/or death and damage to your children from forced vaccinations.  Don't worry about the election - you can't go back and change it.  Protest and demonstrate against your loss of freedom, and against medical fascism.  Otherwise, I have little doubt we will all be living in a medical dictatorship.  Trump will be the least of your worries when that happens.

Originally this post was going to contain a lot of new links, but it would have been too long, so saved that for the next post about vaccinations.  You have to ask yourself what could be the possible reason that anyone would be against vaccines if they were safe and effective?  I'm sure if they were, everyone would be lining up for them like kids in a candy shop.  On the other hand, why are they trying to force them on us?  What is the motive for that?  And why no liability for those who make them and give them?  After doing the research from INDEPENDENT soures, only money and greed come to mind.  At least I hope it's no more evil than that.  Protest and be outraged by this.  Contact your representatives.

Photography - RAW vs JPG

The topic of RAW vs JPG seems to come up a lot.  When I first started with digital cameras, I shot only JPG, but the more I read about the differences as well as advantages, the more I started shooting in RAW format.

JPG's are quicker to download from the camera to the computer and much smaller files, but with today's computers and cameras, and storage devices, those concerns are no longer, well, a concern.  The main difference between RAW and JPG is the fact that anyone shooting a JPG, even if they do shoot an image perfectly in-camera has just arbitrarily thrown away 16,129 tones (per color channel) in the print and kept only 255.  When you toss forty-eight thousand tones or colors, which seems like a bad decision, even if you don't do any post-processing, your image may not look quite as good as it could.  And if you do edit, you will be throwing away even more information, which can result in unwanted artifacts in the print/file.  So needless to say, I always shoot in a RAW format.  The more times you edit an image, the more information you discard, and that can lead to deterioration of the image.  If you've even seen uneven gradations in an image, that is what has happened.  It's usually more visible in monotone areas, like the sky, or a plain wall.  Or, even worse, you may end up with a portrait with a blotchy face.  Another advantage to RAW is if you accidentally do not expose the image perfectly, you have a better chance of getting a decent result.  Plus I have found I can even out the highlights and shadows a bit more.  This is especially needed if the lighting is terrible and you are unable to change it.

What about processing the RAW images?  Well, with Lightroom (which I use) and other software programs, it's pretty easy.  After you see the images that come out of your camera, you can edit them and apply presets (instructions within Lightroom telling it what you want it to do to an image) to all your photos at once (assuming the conditions they were taken in are the same).  Then you can export them as JPG files to save disk space.  Once they are perfect or the best you can make them, then you may want to delete the RAW files, or put them on an external hard drive for storage.  I just saw one on sale - a 4 TB drive for $109.00 - enough to hold more RAW files than you will probably ever take.

Most cameras can shoot both RAW and JPG at the same time, which might be a good way for you to compare the two.  With some Nikon cameras, there is room for two memory cards, and you can record RAW on one and JPG on the other.  With other cameras, these would be on the same card and would take up a lot of space so you might want to get a card with more memory.

Smart Photo Software

Just bought a new software program called Smart Photo.  I'm experimenting with it and was impressed how easy and quick it works for at least some things, such as dropping in a new sky.  Below is an original photo from when I was little - with a pretty plain sky in the background, and then the new sky.  There were around 1,000 different skies to choose from.  It can do a lot more (such as remove objects, etc.), but will have to wait to post more as I experiment.

Original (shot at Jones Beach, NY) of my brother and me.

With some clouds added in and then converted to B&W - notice, too, that I was able to lighten the faces.  The color to B&W was done with Lightroom. 

With the clouds in color, which is interesting.

Hope you've enjoyed seeing these.

Your Health and Freedom

The elections are over - Finally!  Some love the results, and some hate them, but they can't be changed, so time to move on and think about what is most important in your life and what can be done to make it better.  For me, health is number one.  If that is also a major concern for you, then the FDA, CDC, Department of Agriculture, and any agencies that affect our health need to be reformed and corruption needs to be eliminated from those agencies.

The U.S. is only one of two countries that allow drug companies to advertise (the other being New Zealand).  About 109,000 people die each year in the U.S. from properly prescribed prescription drugs, and at least some of those deaths are no doubt a result of this advertising policy.  Here is an article about just one class of drugs (pain killers) - Link.  The other problem with allowing this advertising is that the drug companies, for all practical purposes, dictate what the media can report on regarding their products.  When was the last time you saw a negative comment about vaccines in the media?  Go to the internet, and you'll find plenty.

I've covered vaccinations in great detail on this blog over the past year (I've spent hundreds of hours researching this subject).  They are responsible for untold injuries and deaths (literally untold, in many cases), but instead of making them safe or voluntary, the opposite is being done - making them mandatory and they are definitely not safe (regardless of what you hear in the media or from most doctors, and especially pediatricians, not to mention the drug companies themselves).  A big reason for that is that the drug companies are not liable when it comes to vaccinations, nor are those who inject innocent children with the toxins that they contain.  No studies have been done on multiple vaccines given at one time, which means the government is allowing or forcing medical experiments on people, which goes against the Nuremberg Code and medical ethics.  It is a human rights violation and loss of freedom.  Let me repeat this - Medical Experimentation on citizens and Loss of Freedom - what, when, or where does that remind you of?

The U.S. has the highest infant mortality of any developed nation (perhaps due to vaccinations?). Autism has become an epidemic, going from less than 1 in 10,000 in the 1970s to about 1 in 50 now.   About our life expectancy and health - check the statistics on this and you'll see at least 30-35 countries do better than the U.S.  Why?  Corruption at the FDA and CDC, which push vaccines and drugs, plus other corrupt government agencies which allow (promote?) pollution, pesticides, fluoride in our water, poor diets with more chemicals, etc.  It's surprising we live as long as we do.  And if we factor out smoking, cancer rates are rising, and more cancers are happening at a younger age.

What about medicine?  This Link of statistics should give you something to think about before your next doctor or hospital visit.

Sometime in my next few posts I will give a list of some new links.  It is my hope that you will do some research from independent sources and from the many links I have posted.

The following is a little off-topic, perhaps, but something to think about.

Did you know the U.S. has the highest percent of its population in prison than any other country, except for Seychelles.  Here is a link to a Chart showing that.   Shouldn't someone try to figure out why this is and make some changes?  Could it be partially caused by drugs and vaccines that damage our central nervous system?

Vaccines, Nuremberg, and Freedom

Here is a movie clip from the 1961 movie, Judgement at Nuremberg.  At 6:16 of the video, Spencer Tracy said, "This is what we stand for, justice, truth, and the value of a single human being."  From the trials came the Nuremberg Code.

Vaccinations are medical experiments.  No long term studies have been done, and no studies of multiple vaccines given at once have been done.  In fact, it could be said that no true studies have ever been done, because the "studies" that have been done don't use true placebos, they discard data they don't like, and they are much too short in length of time.  Check this link about vaccine testing.  In the U.S., they won't even do a comparative study about the health of those vaccinated vs those who haven't been vaccinated.  In Europe they have, and those who were not vaccinated are so much healthier.

One more point for now - most adults do not get vaccinated, and by the time they are in there 30s, most, if not all, of the vaccines they had received will no longer be protecting them.  If you believed the pro-vaccine crowd, all those adults should be getting sick and dying from widespread multiple vaccine preventable diseases.  Do you know anyone who this has happened to?  It would be all over the news.  Ergo, this is not happening, so when they say all these diseases will come back if we stop vaccinating, that is a myth.

Getting back to Nuremberg - they conducted those trials and made the code so the horrors of medical experiments would never happen again.  And similar to Nuremberg are the Helsinki Accord and Geneva Convention.

Mandatory vaccines go against these agreements.  And the new NPRM - Notice of Proposed Rule Making can allow the CDC to force any vaccine on anyone.  Here is a summary of NPRM.

Between these two things (mandatory vaccines and the NPRM) the U.S. will be where Germany was before then Nuremberg Trials - forced medical experiments and procedures with no say (sounds a bit like Germany under Hitler).  If they can do this, what's to stop them from forcefully drugging people, or ??????  Freedom will be a thing of the past.

Once again, please do your research from independent sources.  In past posts, I've supplied well over 100 links to reputable sites of doctors, immunologists, researchers, health organizations, etc.  Plus sites of anecdotal evidence, VAERS, and even the CDC.  In a post coming up, I will list many more links regarding vaccines - hope you will read those that interest you.

My Experience with the Flu Vaccine

I joined the US Air Force many years ago, and during basic training they required everyone to line up for the flu vaccine - no choice given.  They did not give any information about possible side effects or what ingredients were being shot into your arm (literally shot, with the flu gun).  I just remember extreme pain in my arm about 10 seconds after the shot, and then being sick for the following three days.  Mild fever, achy, feeling generally terrible.  I have no doubt it was a direct result of the shot.  Something else happened that at the time I didn't connect to the shot.  About a week or two after the shot, the tips of my fingers starting showing little red dots on them, and after several days of this, the skin started peeling off and my finger tips were red and raw - so bad, it got me out of KP.

Needless to say, I never got another flu shot, nor any other vaccines.  And now, thanks to a healthy diet and supplements, I never get the flu.  In fact, I haven't even had a cold for the past 5 plus years.  But if you believe the vaccine pushers, you would have thought I would have gotten pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, the flu every year, and be dead by now.

No one knows if the flu shot is effective or how effective it might be.  Why?  Most people aren't tested to see if they have the flu or some other similar virus.  And the flu virus mutates, so the vaccine may be for the wrong strain.  But what is known is that the side effects are going to affect a certain percent of people, and some of those will be life threatening.  There's no way to know ahead of time, and once something happens, you can't undo the shot.  What are the possible side effects?  Make sure you read the actual package insert (the one that's several pages long) to read the list.  Then you can make an informed decision.

For me, maintaining a strong and healthy immune system is so much better.  In my next post on this subject, I'll be adding a lot of new links for your further research.  There are some really good articles out there.

Autism and Vaccines - Eliminate the Variables

It seems like the easiest thing in the world to do would be to compare autism rates in vaccinated populations vs unvaccinated populations in the U.S.  There are about 18 million children in the U.S. under the age of 5.  Of those, the best guess is that about a million are not vaccinated (about 6%).  What percent of those children are autistic?  Why hasn't this been checked?  Their argument against doing this kind of study is it wouldn't be ethical to deprive anyone of vaccines.  But these people do not want vaccines.

The only other reason is that they know they would find little or no autism in the unvaccinated and that would wipe out billions of their dollars if word got out.  I believe the vaccine makers already know the answer, which is why they won't do the study.

The solution is for some organization to try to reach every family that does not get vaccinated and check if there are any cases of autism.  If there aren't, that would mean that the rates of autism in vaccinated children is an even higher percent than the current estimate.

Vaccines are one variable.  Other variables - herbicides/pesticides (like round-up/glyphosate) and other environmental neuro-toxins, like Naled that is used for spraying for Zika.

We do know this - the U.S. is, by far, the most vaccinated population (in number of vaccines being given to each individual), has the highest infant mortality rate, and is at the bottom of the list for developed nations in health and longevity.  And spends the most on health.  These statistics should tell you something!

Beware of MUFG Union Bank (Union Bank of California)

I try to post positive things, but occasionally a business does something so wrong, that it cries out to be reported, although there is a positive ending....well, a few.

If you Google "Union Bank," this is what comes up first:  "Union Bank personal banking services are exclusively designed to meet your financial needs, because you deserve more."

The reality is a bit different.  Here is my story regarding Union Bank.  I had my personal account with them for around 22 years, and also my business account (when I owned a vitamin store in Santa Monica) for several years.  During that time, never had a bad check, and my account was never overdrawn.  In other words, never a problem.

Recently, a friend of mine had been arrested and was in a federal detention center.  Her sister was in Australia at the time, and so the sister was not able to wire money to her in prison, so she asked if I would be willing to act as the go between - her sister would wire me the money, and I would wire it to my friend.  Of course, for her to wire me money, I needed to give her my account info.  I did, and everything went smoothly.  I received the money and transferred it to my friend, less the fees.

My friend, being in prison, didn't have access to her bank to get money when she would need it, for various things (retainer fees for an attorney, things she needed while at the detention center, etc.).  So she asked if she could send me money to hold for her, and distribute to others as she requested.  I said OK, and she sent me two checks to deposit into my account.  I went to Union Bank and deposited the two checks, was told they would be put on hold, as expected, and I thought that would be the end of it.  It wasn't!

A few days after depositing the funds, there was a Fed Ex envelope at my door.  Inside was a notice that Union Bank froze my account.  No prior mention that this might happen, no warning, no phone call, and no access to my own funds or her checks.  I had, at that time, three payments I had already sent, including one to my credit card for around 79 cents - which the bank didn't pay.  I was told to call the fraud investigation center of Union Bank, but was too late that day.  When I called, they said they suspected fraud.  I told them there was no fraud, explained that the checks had been sent to me by my friend's court appointed federal defender, that my friend was a public figure, in jail, etc., and who in their right mind would commit fraud while in jail?  When I told them I had given my account info to my friend's sister, and she had deposited money into my account, they were sure there was fraud.  If they think like this, how can anyone write a check, as all that info is printed right on the check?  If someone commits fraud by depositing money into my account, I'll take that fraud all the time!  I guess that tells you a little about this bank's logic (or lack of it).  Anyway, two weeks later, they realized there was no fraud and finally unfroze my account.  During that time, my friend asked if I could use some of the money to pay the balance of an order she had pending in China.  When I went to wire the money, they closed my account at Union Bank.  When I went to see the manager at the branch where my account was located, I was told my account had too many problems.  Union Bank made the problems when there weren't any....and never apologized!

They say "you deserve more," but after 22 years they closed my account.  I guess they are right - I did deserve more.  Now I'm at another bank getting more!  The other bank offers veterans free checks and a free safe deposit box.  The other good thing - my friend is now free and enjoying life again and the money she sent me has been returned to her and her attorney.

Calcium in the News Tonight (10/11/2016), and Some Related Comments

On the world news  tonight on NBC, they talked about the dangers of calcium supplements, how it could lead to heart problems.  If all you take is Calcium by itself, they are probably right.  And they mentioned how getting calcium from your food has the opposite effect and is good for your heart.  So far, so good, right?  But why the difference between food and supplements?  Food has other things in it that should always be taken with calcium, whether in supplement or food form.

I used to own a vitamin store in Santa Monica and have worked at several other vitamin stores.  People used to come in and tell me their doctor told them to get calcium.  I used to ask if that was calcium with magnesium and vitamin D.  No, they would say, my doctor just said calcium, sometimes asking for Citrical.  And that was the problem.

Tonight, I kept waiting for the news report to mention that calcium supplements should always be taken with magnesium, vitamin D and Vitamin K (I take a combination of magnesium oxide and citrate, and vitaminK1 with K2 - MK7).  Perhaps with zinc, too.  Never take a high dose calcium supplement by itself.  In addition to helping get the calcium where it belongs, vitamin D supports your immune system and has many other benefits.

The problem with the news is that it seldom gives complete information about supplements.  And never gives a balanced report about vaccinations.  I've never heard anything negative about vaccines, and yet they kill and injure thousands, perhaps a lot more.  And I seldom hear anything positive about supplements, although they have done wonders for my health. 

I will say this time and again - for your health, do your own research from independent sources (those not collecting money from the drug companies, which includes most doctors and the government.  Make sure the articles have references and check those.  

To your health!

Photography - What is the Fairest Way to Charge

The vast majority of photographers will charge a fee to photograph you.  It may be called a creation fee, a session fee, a sitting fee, etc.  Some will offer you a guarantee of some kind.  Maybe a free re-shoot if you are not happy with the results, maybe even a partial or full refund.

A short time ago, I read about a photographer who doesn't charge this initial fee, and I thought, wow, what a great idea.  If I start a photography business again, this is what I would do.  No charge for a consultation, no charge to actually shoot the photos.  If you are not happy, no worries about getting your money back.  Of course, if you do love the results, the final image is not cheap.  But you have nothing to lose, no risk, no obligation of any kind.  If the results are not exactly what you had wanted, and you don't order anything, you don't pay a penny.  And no hard feelings.  I had originally thought I would charge for the session ahead of time and offer a 100% money back guarantee or free re-shoot, or both, but like this idea better.  I think potential clients would, also.

One photographer sells these portraits for $10,000 or more.  If I did this, what would you get for that price?   Perhaps a 3 foot by 5 foot full length portrait, in a museum quality frame, with oil painting overlay - sort of a combination of photography and oil painting portrait.  And the single digital file that was used to produce it, retouched the same way as the finished product.  In short, a masterpiece that you loved and totally approved.

The photographer I would base my business on is this one (link).   Not exactly the same, but similar.  Different backdrop, different poses, but same quality.

Below are photos of one of my backdrops, plus a selfie in front of it.

Photos shot with Nikon D600 with 24-85mm lens at f5.6, 1/60, ISO 250 on 9/20/2016

If I start my photography business, don't worry, I won't charge $10,000 for a while, but I will use the oil coloring and beautiful frames, so it will cost a bit.

Vaccinations - Safe and Effective????

I'm sure you've seen the claims in the main stream media, or from your doctor or pharmacist, and in ads that vaccines are "safe and effective."  Please check the facts, because they tell a different story.  And IF they tell a different story, THEN you are either being lied to or those who are supposed to be educated aren't, and IF you are being lied to or those who are supposed to have the answers don't have the correct answers, THEN why would you trust them (media, doctors, etc.)?

What are some of the facts?
1.  The U.S. Supreme Count has said vaccines are "Unavoidably Unsafe."
2.  The measles vaccine has killed more people in the U.S. than measles has over the past 15 years.
3.  Mumps outbreaks on college campuses has occurred in fully vaccinated individuals in around 98% of the cases.
4.  Menningococcal vaccine is killing and injuring more than the disease it is supposed to prevent.
5.  At the recommended 3+ doses of pertussis, those who received those doses in 2014 had more than 5x the number of cases of pertussis than those who received no vaccine (see CDC chart here).
6.  Four vaccines were recently tested for Glyphosate, and herbicide, and those vaccines contained glyphosate - which is directly injected into your body when getting those vaccines.
7.  With all the miraculous effects they claim for vaccines, plus all the money spent on medicine and health care in the U.S., the U.S. should have the best statistics for longevity, health, and infant mortality, wouldn't you think?  Not only does it not have the best, it is actually one of the worst of all developed nations, ranking 30th or lower in all those categories.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.  My best advice is to do your research from independent sources.  To help you, here are some past blogs with links to various sources, here, here, and here (with some charts on infant mortality and vaccinated vs non vaccinated German study).

Please make informed choices and learn the truth - it may save your life or your child's life and health.  Don't believe me - do your research!  That's what I did.

Zika, Vaccines, Pesticides

This is just a brief summary of things that I have found and read about Zika and Microcephaly.  But first, does (or can) Zika cause Microcephaly?  I can't answer that, but I can say do not get your opinion on this from the media, the CDC, the drug companies, or those who stand to make a profit from this.  You must do your own independent research and find the facts.

What are some of the facts I have found?
1.  Before Zika ever came to the U.S., there were 25,000 cases of microcephaly a year in this country.
2.  In Colombia, where they have Zika and the mosquito, no cases of microcephaly.
3.  In Brazil, pregnant women get vaccinated with vaccines containing known neurotoxic ingredients.
4.  In Brazil, they heavily spray pesticides, herbacides, and larvacides containing neurotoxins.
5.  I just read they are now vaccinating pregnant women in the U.S. and also spraying Naled, which contains what?  Neurotoxins.  In high enough amounts it can be deadly to people.

To me at least, common sense and logic from the above statements would lead to a conclusion that microcephaly is probably being caused by vaccines and environmental toxins (pesticides, herbicides, larvacides) or a combination of these.  And Zika is the scapegoat.

The other logical thing I see happening is that they (media, government, etc.) will now be able to blame Zika for whatever problems might be caused by vaccines and spraying, while at the same time scaring people into lining up for the vaccine when it becomes available.  So instead of doing what they should do - suspend spraying and vaccinating pregnant women so they can determine if this is the problem, and find if this might be a definitive solution, they'll probably compound the problem with even more neurotoxic substances in the new vaccine.

Unfortunately, I believe their game plan is to make sure pregnant women are exposed to all three things - Zika, vaccines, and spraying - and then put all the blame on Zika.  And with the media repeating this mantra over and over and over, most people will believe it.  Why?  Because they will not do the independent research, even when the lives and health of their children depend on it.  I wish they would prove me wrong.

As I learned a long time ago in a photography class - eliminate the variables!  There are three here - Zika, Vaccines, Spraying.  To find what is causing what, you have to eliminate two at a time, and then see if the third one causes problems.  You MUST ask yourself, why aren't they doing that?  Only one answer I can think of - they want to blame Zika, because that will be a moneymaker.  Vaccines and spraying are moneymakers - so they get to keep those.

A final word - the above are only my opinions, but I would be a lot more in fear of the media, government, CDC, drug companies, etc., then I would be in fear of Zika.

Freedom, Vaccines, and Health

If you look up the definition of Freedom, you will find these two things, among many others:  1.  The power, or right, to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint; 2.  the state of not being subject to or affected by (a particular undesirable thing).

Unfortunately, there are two freedoms we are losing or have lost.  In the case of supplements, for example, you cannot say that a particular supplement will heal you or cure you from any affliction, even if the science and anecdotal evidence has shown that it does.  And when vaccines are made mandatory, they violate definition one and two above and we are no longer free in America - you will have lost your FREEDOM.  It doesn't matter if you are Pro-vaccine, Anti-vaccine, or somewhere in the middle - it's not about pro or anti vaccine, it is about Freedom.  Once you lose the freedom to decide what toxins can be injected into your body, what other freedoms may go?  It doesn't matter to me if you want to get vaccinated or not - I hope you will choose after becoming fully informed of the dangers and benefits by researching from independent sources (from those who have nothing to gain one way or the other).  I have done several hundred hours of research and have come to my conclusion, and have posted many links to independent sites from immunologists, doctors, scientists, and researchers, among others, including sites to people whose children have been adversely affected by vaccines, up to and including death.  If a mandated medical procedure (experiment) can cause permanent injury or loss of life to you or your loved ones, it sure seems like that can be categorized as a loss of Freedom.

If you are one of those who believe vaccines are for the greatest good, please read the Link to this article about the Greatest Good.  If everything was defined by the greatest good, why aren't we hearing about mandatory healthy nutrition, about the benefits of supplements for the immune system, about eliminating all the environmental toxins, or about reforming the medical profession (which is either the first or third leading cause of death in the U.S. - see this Link for death statistics.), etc.

Speaking of the greatest good - let's look at the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) vaccine.  They are advertising it on TV, and mandating it in California (and other places) for children.  But if you go to the CDC site, you can see that those who get the recommended series of vaccines for Pertussis get Pertussis about 4.5 times more than non vaccinated children.  I wonder how they explain that increasing Pertussis by 450% is for the greater good?  Here's the chart for 2013 (and 2014 which is even worse).  Look at the bottom right chart.  By signing the vaccine law, the governor of California has mandated that there will be more cases of Pertussis?  That's why the CDC chart says.  For Mumps, almost everyone who has been getting that has been vaccinated for that - I don't have the exact figure offhand, but somewhere around 87% if I remember.  Let's not forget, besides increasing the likelihood of getting the disease, you also open yourself to the side effects.

About vaccines and autism - you should really listen to District Attorney Nico LaHood and wife Davida tell the story of their son and daughter's vaccine injury - He is the criminal district attorney in San Antonio, TX.  We need more people like him - he knows how to research and investigate.

Some more links to read or listen to:
The Effect of Aluminum in Vaccines on Humans | Chris Shaw, PhD
World Health Organization Publishes Strategies For EU Healthcare Professionals To Convince Vaccine Deniers Vaccines Are Safe - if they were safe, no one would need convincing.  In fact, if they were safe and effective, people would be lining up, and the vaccine makers would have no problem with liability.  But even the Supreme Court of the U.S. has called them Unavoidably Unsafe.  And released the makers from any liability.  SAFE?  You decide.  If you decide they are not safe, then you know you are being lied to by the vaccine makers, the medical profession, the media, and the government.  So you really need to do your research (again, from independent sources) and stop listening to those who tell you they are safe.

You can start by looking at the vaccine inserts - the ones in the vaccine box - the ones that list all the side effects, safety studies (well, there probably aren't any of those), and all the ingredients.  And then some of the links I've posted here and on past blog posts.

Vaccinations - Some New Links with Summaries...and Thoughts

In some of my posts over the last year, I've supplied many links to information about vaccines.  I've tried to pick and choose carefully those which were most reliable from a scientific standpoint.  Ones that are written by immunologists, doctors, and others in similar professions who have studied vaccines extensively.  Plus links to VAERS and some CDC charts of disease rates.  I've tried to ensure the links are from reliable, independent resources, those without conflicts of interest.

The ones with conflicts of interest you get to see all the time from the media, from your doctors, the CDC and FDA, those in government - all those who make money from the vaccine industry.  Let's think about it differently for a minute, and let's say we were talking about shoes instead of vaccines.  If you were buying a $500 pair of shoes, who would you ask about the quality?  Would you ask only those who made a profit from the sale?  And would you be likely to buy the shoes if they had no guarantee, no return policy, and you knew someone who had bought them, and they caused that person a foot or knee injury.  And the company that makes them has no liability of any kind.  Yet with vaccines, which can and do kill and permanently injure people, may not work at all, have no liability, some of which are made in China, few people actually do the research.  How many doctors will tell you what's in them?  How many actually know?

Well, here are the new links:

Harvard Trained Immunologist Demolishes California Legislation That Terminates Vaccine Exemptions - This was written before SB277 passed.  The title is pretty self explanatory.  She had gone to Stanford for her MA degree and Harvard for her PhD.  She explains why unvaccinated children pose no risk to others - and why vaccinated children do.  With appendices and references.

Pertussis epidemic despite high levels of vaccination coverage with acellular pertussis vaccine. - An abstract from PubMed on the Pertussis vaccine - those with the highest rates of vaccination had the highest rates of Pertussis.  You can also see this here:  Pertussis Serveillance Report from the CDC.

Dr. Toni Bark, M.D., Comments of Jimmy Kimmel with Robert DeNiro - A must see video.  She destroys Jimmy Kimmel's comments about vaccination.  From my own research, I completely agree with her analysis of his comments.  When someone in his position gives medical advice, which I thought was illegal to do unless you're a doctor, and it can cause death or injury, should he not be liable?

Vaccine Price List from CDC Website - Just for your information

Asking Others to Vaccinate is Unethical - This article makes some good points about vaccines and ethics.

There was one more I was going to include, but misplaced it for now.  What it said was that there were 3 diseases for which there was no vaccine, and listed them - Scarlet Fever was one, I think the other two were worse than Scarlet Fever, and all three are now gone.  How could that be if there were no vaccines.  Besides better hygiene, cleaner drinking water, better nutrition, they actually quarantined those who had those diseases.  What a concept - no known side effects to quarantining someone.  Oh, but I guess there's no money to be made, either.

Vaccines and "The Science is Settled"

What is Science?  The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Regarding vaccine safety they always use the phrase, "the science is settled."  Anyone who studies science would know the science is never settled.  NEVER!  It is always changing based on new observations.  So that statement is a contradiction in terms.  What is settled is that a certain percent of people will die or be injured from vaccines.  As the U.S. Supreme Count has said, vaccines are "Unavoidably Unsafe."

What are some observations regarding vaccines and their studies?  Well, one is that if you vaccinate someone with a particular vaccine, and then with a "placebo" that contains some or all the same toxins, you'll see the same amount of injuries and deaths, and the conclusion that will be made is that the vaccine is no worse than a placebo.  Wait, what?  Exactly!  Sort of like if you smashed your thumb with a hammer, so you used a different brand hammer and also smashed your thumb and then came to the conclusion that the hammer was totally safe.  Your thumb must have spontaneously smashed itself.

Another observation is that if you disregard parts of your study that disagree with what you are looking for, and you later throw out those data, your study with confirm what you wanted it to.  See the movie, Vaxxed.

Next observation - if someone gets a series of vaccines, and then gets brain injured, autistic, or dies, they will tell you it can't possibly be the vaccine (it was "just a coincidence"), although they have paid out over $3 billion in claims against vaccines, including for autism.  Like they will really pay you if the vaccine didn't cause the problem?  They only pay about 1/3 of the claims, and most people don't even know to file.

What about all the studies telling you how safe vaccines are?  When your child becomes brain injured or dies after a vaccination, then you'll know about the fraud involved with the studies.  Unfortunately, then it will be a bit too late.  Again, go see the movie, Vaxxed.

What is better than reading all the so called studies?  It's really pretty easy, yet no one will do it - compare vaccinated populations with  not vaccinated populations and see which is healthier.  Also compare the most vaccinated countries with the least vaccinated countries, that have equal cleanliness clean drinking water, and good hygiene, and see where they are ranked for health and longevity.  And autism.  A few people in other countries have done these comparisons, and many have posted online, about how much healthier are those who are not vaccinated.

What I really don't understand is this:  the odds of winning the Mega Millions Lotto Jackpot is 1 in 258, 890, 850 (you would have a better chance of not knowing where someone you needed to locate lived anywhere in the U.S., but finding that person at the first home you went to anywhere in any state in the U.S.), but everyone thinks they'll win.  The odds of getting vaccine injured is probably 1 in 200, and people figure it won't happen to them.  I've used 1 in 200 based on everything I've read and researched (VAERS database, anecdotal evidence, etc.), but even if it is 1 in 10,000, if it happens to your child, does that really matter?

If you listen to all those who make money and profit from vaccines, those who have conflicts of interest, you'll believe they are the best thing since _________________ .  But if you research for yourself from independent sources, you'll know that is a lie that may cost your child (or you) his/her life or lifelong injuries.  And until the makers of vaccines are held accountable and liable, they will never be safe.  And the science will never be settled!

Paddle Tennis Action Shots

The following photos were shot on Friday, August 12, 2016 at the Venice Beach Paddle Tennis courts.  After playing several sets, and needing a break from the action, I thought it would be nice to photograph some action shots.  All were shot with the Panasonic FZ200 which it the camera I use at the beach because it is light weight, has a maximum aperture of f2.8 at all focal lengths, and zooms from 24mm - 600mm.  Of course, the quality won't be as good as a Canon or Nikon with a prime lens, and it has a slight delay after shooting a photo before you can shoot the next one (I'm wondering if perhaps that's due to the compact flash card I'm using), but can get some nice shots.  Forgot to mention it has image stabilization which allows me to shoot at 600mm hand held - during the day.

The shots are of Nicole, whom I played 3 sets with her on my side (thankfully), and one set against her - she's a great player, and fun with or against.  And she was nice enough to let me take these.  Hope you enjoy, and if you play paddle tennis against her, watch out!  As always, to see the photos larger, just click on them.

Something Different - a Post About Photography

Well, this blog started out as a Photography Blog, but then it sort of branched out with a mind of itw own, LOL.

So, for you photographers out there, I am writing this to share a great link to free software that used to cost hundreds of dollars.  Some of you may already use it, but if you have for a long time, then this might be an update.  It is called Nik, and works with Photoshop and Lightroom, also some versions of Elements.  Google bought the company that makes it and is giving it away for free HERE.  And to help you learn how to use it, here is a YouTube Video.  This post is short, but the software and video will give you hours of fun, and hopefully some great results.

Help Free Angie

In October 2015, Angie's Facebook posts stopped.  I think it wasn't until January this year that I found out she was in a federal detention center in Brooklyn.  Here is the brief explanation, along with a petition that you can sign:  Explanation and Petition - for a more detailed explanation including the court case:  Court Case.  Below is why I am trying to help Angie.

I haven't met Angie Vu Ha in person, but met her on Model Mayhem several years ago while searching for models to update my portfolio.  A short time later we became FB friends, and I have been following and commenting on her posts since.  She was living in Singapore, but did a lot of traveling to the U.S. At some point, she contacted me on Google chat and said she was planning to move to LA, and asked if I had any suggestions on where to live.  And wanted to know about schools for her daughter. We chatted a few times, and I emailed her some information. She asked me about DJ jobs here.  I knew she was a DJ, but had no idea that she was rated top 10 sexiest DJ's in the world, playing at the best clubs, so I mentioned doing weddings, LOL.  As time went by, she decided to move instead to New York.  I learned a lot about her from her posts, supported and voted for her when she ran for Playboy's Miss Social, which she won in October, 2012.  Her posts have always been honest, caring, sweet, etc. – she wouldn't have won the Miss Social contest otherwise.  She never forgot to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy St Paddy's Day, etc.  In 2015 she became a Playboy Playmate in Venezuela.

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words?  Check the two photos below of Angie with had daughter.  I think those are a lot more than a thousand words, and why I'm supporting her.

If you go to the links above, you will see many of her personal friends comments – and they confirm her great qualities, as well as the love she has for her daughter.  Here are some of the comments posted on the petition site, where you can see them, plus many more (you can add your name to the petition there if you agree with what she wrote in the court case): “Angie is a hard-working, talented, responsible, loving mother.” Here's another comment: “I know Angie and Isabella personally. And I know that Isabella is always crying on the phone to Angie to come home and be with her.” And another about Angie: “Isabella has always been with you, and taken care by you and your good parents. Even if you are traveling a lot, you have always tried to fly Isabella to be with you. Even your Mom follows you to the places you have brought them for a good time...and you brought Isabella and your parents along, got a nice holiday.”

Angie didn't have to let the father, who abandoned her long before her daughter was born, be part of her daughters life.  She didn't have to get French citizenship for her daughter who was born in Vietnam, so her daughter could spend time with the father. But she believed it was the right thing to do, and she did it.

Keeping the above in mind, and after reading Angie's Testimony on the court case site, how could the French court have awarded custody to the father?  Did they interview the daughter? Did they interview those who know Angie?  Did they try to find out his relationship with the daughter for her first 5 years of her life (there was none)?  Did they ask why Angie got French citizenship for her daughter?  Did they check the facts of what the father said about Angie, or just believe the lies?  I think the answer is obvious from the outcome. If they did none of these things, shouldn't their decision be overturned?  Shouldn't Angie be free...and with her daughter?

But instead, Angie has been sitting in a Federal Detention Center in Brookly, NY, since Nov 4, 2015, due to an extradition request from France, which is based on the false custody case that the father won in a French Court, after she went out of her way to help him see his daughter (not get custody of).  With Angie in prison, what effect is this having on her daughter, not to mention on her?

Here are two photos of Angie and Isabella, her daughter:

Vaccines, and Drug Science vs Other Science

How do the two news items below differ from vaccination news items?  They are actually negative about the subjects and made the news.

"Lumber Liquidators' laminate flooring has been found to have a 3x higher risk of causing cancer than previously stated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reversing their own findings from earlier this month. A report released Feb. 10 used incorrect ceiling heights, lowering the airborne concentration of formaldehyde that should have been examined, the agency said in a statement. The estimated risk of tumors is six cases to 30 cases per 100K people, above the two to nine cases in the earlier report."  But, if the formaldehyde in several vaccines is injected into an infant, how is that OK?

"The academic study that helped propel shares of Weight Watchers (NYSE:WTW) to an 18% gain on Friday was funded by the company, observes the New York Post after scanning the fine print. Harvard Medical School professor David Ludwig notes the practice isn't uncommon, but doesn't quite qualify as good scientific practice."  Yet when vaccine and drug studies are done this way, they qualify as good scientific practice?  Plus, it will never make the news.

Has anyone ever seen even one negative news report about vaccines in the mainstream media (also sometimes referred to as the "Lamestream Media") ?

Funny how the criteria change for vaccine (and drug) studies.

Just came across this item:  "What do you think they'd (the CDC, Drug companies, media) say about the late Dr. Mayer Eisenstein's statement:  "…. 40 years ago when I started my practice only 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today it's 1 in 100. What is the only difference we have seen? The inordinate number of vaccines that are being given to children today. My partners and I have over 35,000 patients who have never been vaccinated. You know how many cases of autism we have seen? ZERO, ZERO. I have made this statement for over 40 years: "NO VACCINES NO AUTISM"….  Then again, never mind. I already know what they'd say.  They'd say nothing. Because they would all much prefer that no-one ever speak about that."
The above statement was written a few years ago, now the autism rate is 1 in 45, and still climbing, and the link between vaccines and autism is still denied by those profiting from vaccines.

Now I need to say this - I've always been for optimal health, and whatever can be done to promote health I would also promote.  I have no reason to try to mislead anyone, I make no money from these posts, and my only reason for posting information about vaccines here, when I'd rather be posting about photography, is to hopefully stop you from making an uninformed choice that might endanger you or your family and loved ones.  The dangers of vaccines get no coverage in the media.  Unfortunately, the motive of the drug companies is profit, not health.  I mean, have you ever heard of a product being so unsafe that all liability was removed?  How crazy is that?  But the Supreme Court said because vaccines are unavoidably unsafe, there will have no liability.  Which means there is no incentive for the vaccine makers to make them safe.

Put "Placebo Definition" in Google and read the definition.  Then see what the vaccine makers call a "Placebo."  I can tell you it is not the definition of a placebo.  They will use either another vaccine as a placebo, or a liquid with all the adjuvants of the vaccine they are testing.  Of course, there will be no difference in the comparison between their "placebo" and the vaccine, so therefore they will say the vaccine is safe.  Heck, using their study methods, I could have told them that and saved them the money of running the study!

Here is a link to an interview with Dr. Theresa Deisher PhD, that is very worth reading.  Here is a link to Dr. Suzanne Humphries, an M.D., part II of a video talk she gave in Copenhagen in November 2015, called Manufacture Consent, also an excellent resource.  You can see the other parts of her talk along the right side of that link.

Forget the studies for now.  But please don't forget about your freedom.  Those freedoms mentioned in the Nuremberg Code, the Geneva Convention, Helsinki Accord, even the HHS Belmont Report, etc.  This includes the human right to not be medically experimented upon or have medical procedures performed on you without your consent.  We're not allowed to do these things to enemy combatants, but we are mandating them for our children?  Regardless of the arguments for or against vaccines, mandatory and forced vaccinations are anti-freedom.  Any politician who votes for mandatory vaccination is taking away your freedom (and perhaps your life or the life of your loved ones, not to mention permanent disabilities, E.R. visits, medical bills, etc., that are possible - see the chart at the underlined link just above).  If you allow them to take away this basic freedom, what other freedoms might they decide to take away in the future?  Look at history and Nazi Germany for the answer to that.

I would rather be writing about photography, but our freedom and health is much too important, especially with the push for mandatory vaccinations across this country.

Please read my last few posts on this subject regarding logic, common sense, statistics, and myths about vaccines, plus the links on this post, so you can come to your own educated conclusions about vaccine effectiveness and safety, or lack thereof.  The more you know, the safer you'll be!

Vaccinations, Common Sense, and Logic

Here are some things to think about, in response to what you hear in the media:

1.  What you hear in the media is that if you don't get vaccinated, all those terrible diseases will come roaring back and wipe out everyone.  But the reality is - vaccines wear off after 2 - 10 years, perhaps even less at the lower end.  And the majority of people don't get vaccinated after the age of 18.  So using some math and logic, at age 28, most people have no more immunity from vaccines, as most people don't continue to get them.  Why aren't these people suffering super pandemics?  Why aren't they dropping like flies?  Why are most of them not even getting sick?

2.  The media and drug companies say vaccines were the reason all diseases went away.  Then why did almost all diseases decrease around 90% before vaccines became available for those diseases?  Why did diseases with no vaccines available (such as scarlet fever) also disappear along the same basic timeline?  Common Sense and Logic would say that it was because of something else.  What changed from the days when these diseases were widespread and killed more people?  Sanitation, clean drinking water, better hygiene, better nutrition.

3.  They will tell you that everyone needs to be vaccinated for herd immunity.  Yet in China, where vaccination rates are 99.5%, there are still outbreaks of disease.  In the U.S., where pertussis vaccinations are the highest, they have the most outbreaks.  What does common sense and logic tell you about herd immunity?

4.  Perhaps the biggest and most dangerous statement you are told is that vaccines are safe.  That only one out of a million will experience a side effect.  Since the year 2000, between 60,000 and 600,000 have died from vaccines and millions have been injured (guess there must be around a trillion people living in the U.S., LOL) just go to VAERS and multiply the numbers there by at least 10, and probably the more correct number would be by at least 100, because that is how many actually get reported, or even attributed to a vaccine.  For example, there was a case of a healthy child who got vaccinated, had a severe reaction and died within 4 hours.  Cause of death was listed as "Undetermined!"  I think it can be logically said that it was the vaccine.  I just read that one county in one state is not allowed to list vaccine as a cause of death.

5.  They say vaccines don't cause Autism, that the science is settled.  Well, why has autism (and epilepsy) increased dramatically, and at the same time as vaccines have increased dramatically?  In the past 50 years it has gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 45 (not a typo).  And now 1 in 20 has epilepsy.  The rates of cancer, ear infections, allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, etc., has also been increasing at alarming rates, again as vaccines have increased.  Common Sense and Logic tells you what?  It's amazing they don't have a clue what it is that is causing this, only they "know" it can't possibly be vaccines.   I mean, gee, how could injecting heavy metal neurotoxins (mercury and aluminum), formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, MSG, etc., possibly cause any problems?

6.  They tell you vaccines work.  And now they are promoting some to pregnant women.  In developed countries, the U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate (not to mention we're at or near the bottom of the list for longevity and health), while at the same time we give more vaccines (and spend more on health), including more multiple vaccines at one time than any other country.  If vaccines worked, wouldn't logic tell you we should have the lowest infant mortality and live longer and healthier than any other country?

I hope I've made my point - that you need to stop listening to those who are trying to scare the hell out of you and start using some common sense and logic regarding vaccines.  When several vaccines are killing more people than the diseases they are supposed to prevent, that is what should scare you.  When some vaccines (pertussis in particular) increase your risk of getting the disease the vaccine is for, that also should scare you.  Mandatory vaccines should really scare the hell out of you, as should the loss of your freedom.  If, after doing all your logical research, you really think vaccines will help you in some way, go for it.  Just don't try to force it on others - it is also their choice, made on informed research and common sense/logic.

What common sense and logic tell me is that the vaccinologists are still far from knowing about how our immune systems work and function.  And until they know that, I know what my choice is.

I'll finish this with my favorite quote:  "It astounds me how people never learn, and simply accept what is suggested to them by those writing articles, or those speaking on television, as gospel. Have we lost the ability to think critically? Have we lost the ability to question what we are told based upon actual facts? Or have we simply adopted the "Foghorn Leghorn perspective:  "Don't bother me with facts, son. I've already made up my mind.""  I would add to this, to use common sense and logic.


NOTE:  After writing this earlier today, I felt like there was something I left out.  Now I have it!  What does logic and common sense tell you about those who have massive conflicts of interest (i.e.: those who profit from promoting something, in this case the media, drug companies, government)?  Should you believe them over reports from independent sources of information?  Could they be using misinformation and lies to scare you into doing something?  Would they attack those who disagree with them?

New (and Old) Vaccine Articles

(Added on 2/21/16 - After thinking about it, you should probably check Vaccinations - Forget Everything Else For Now, Except This first, as it is a lot shorter than the below paragraph link.  Remember, if you do the research, you will be able to defend your position, and perhaps get someone else to agree with you.  If not, send them to the research.  Sometimes the harder you try to convince someone of something, the harder they resist.  But if they will go to the source of the information, who knows, they may realize you knew what you were talking about.  If you agree with the links I've supplied, please share with everyone you know, and ask them the same.)

If you are just starting out researching vaccines, this 12 part series is an excellent place to start.  It may take a while to read it all (roughly 30 minutes for each part).  It is similar to my own research, which I have presented over the past year on this blog.  The name of the series is, Why are so many people choosing not to vaccinate?  Just click on the title to go to Part I.  Each of the 12 parts has additional embedded links supporting or expanding on it's statements, as well as the link to continue to the next part at the end of each article.  If this doesn't keep you busy enough, or if you want to learn more, here are links to some of my past posts which may fill in any gaps left out of the above article:

Vaccinations - Forget Everything Else For Now, Except This - This has been the most popular blog post I've ever made and I think it will answer the big question, "Are vaccines safe?"  If you believe as I do that they are not safe (and as the U.S. Supreme Court has also said), then the only conclusion you can come to is that all those who keep repeating the mantra, "Vaccines are safe, Vaccines are safe...." are lying.  And if they are lying about that, then one can assume they are lying about whatever they want to get you to do things you may not want to do.  You can believe them at your own peril.  Or go to the independent sources of information I've listed on my blog posts.

Links to Vaccine Articles

Many Many Links to Vaccine and Vaccine Related Articles - Probably around 30-40 or more.

And still some more Links

Never forget this:  the more you learn from independent reliable sources, the healthier you'll likely be.  And if you want to be afraid of anything, be very afraid of anything that has the potential to end or destroy the lives of those you love.  To do that, you must do the research!

As always, to your health and happiness.
