The Hidden Tragedy of Neurological Vaccine InjuriesThe subtle dangers of vaccinations must be considered when assessing if their risks and benefits justify mandating them
Story at a Glance:
Note: the requirement to vaccinate is largely based on ACIP’s assessment (and the CDC’s) that the vaccine’s benefits outweigh its risks. Due to the dogmatic faith surrounding vaccination and ACIP’s members having massive conflicts of interest favoring vaccination, virtually every vaccine put before them ends up on the schedule and as a result, each generation of (sicker) children gets even more of them. A key reason for this is because only a small set of injuries are tested for (typically those that are minor or very rare) and hence officially “exist," while the much broader gamut of vaccine injuries are swept under the rug. Today, due to RFK’s bold action to replace ACIP’s members, a very different committee will have its first meeting today. For that reason, I felt it was important to highlight one major complication of vaccines; the widespread neurological injuries they cause. From birth, we are taught that vaccines were one of the most remarkable discoveries in history, and were so safe and effective that many now unimaginable plagues vanished with few to no side effects occurring in the process. In truth, give or take, every part of that mythology is false, and remarkably similar vaccine disasters occur every few decades. Much of this results from the fact that it is very difficult to produce safe vaccines due to both their mode of action and the methods used in their production. As such, the best "solution" which could be found to this problem was to insist in lockstep that vaccines were safe and erase any memory that vaccine disasters had in fact occurred, thereby making it possible to gaslight anyone who was severely injured by a vaccine and claim their injury was just anecdotal or a product of anti-vaccine hysteria. For example, recently I discussed how vaccines cause autism, and focused on a central argument used to debunk the link between the two—that the only reason people believe vaccines cause autism is because a disgraced British doctor published a fraudulent 1998 study claiming they did and then made everyone start hallucinating that vaccine injuries were occurring. This mythology however, ignores that brain injuries were a longstanding problem of vaccination. For example, a 1982 NBC news program revealed that many parents were having children develop "post-pertussis encephalopathy" after taking the DPT vaccine, that most doctors refused to report this.  To quote that program:
Likewise, in 1985, one of the most popular talk shows in America (the Donahue show) hosted a segment where doctors from both sides (and neurologically injured members of the audience) debated the risks and benefits of vaccination and the ethics of mandates. To the best of my knowledge, this was the last time an open debate of vaccination aired on mainstream television.  Diagnostic ObfuscationIn both of these 1980s TV programs and many of the earlier studies on vaccine injuries, the brain damaged children were described as becoming "mentally retarded" or "severely retarded." However, in the 1990s, "retarded" began to be phased out due to it being deemed too stigmatizing, with Obama, in 2010 signing a law that replaced all instances in Federal statutes of "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation" with "intellectual disability." This is important as it is commonly argued that the increase in Autism is not due to an environmental toxin (e.g., vaccines) but rather more and more "normal" things being reclassified as autism. One of the primary studies that supported the reclassification argument, is a 2009 study from California that actually showed 26.4% of children who had previously been diagnosed as "mentally retarded" became "autistic" (as did another commonly cited study). Since autism is deliberately undefined, it encapsulates both profound (severe) autism (25-30% of cases) and autistic traits (e.g., having manageable neurological deficits or "being on the spectrum"). This wordplay hence blends them together, making it possible to slander statements on severe autism while simultaneously tricking people into believing the increase is actually just in autistic quirks. However, as the CDC shows, roughly 26.7% of children have "profound autism," and is continually increasing:
Likewise, when the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act was passed, it acknowledged a few specific neurological injuries that were frequently seen from vaccines, one of which was encephalopathy from MMR (which is now labeled as “autism” and “not caused by vaccines”).
Remarkably, despite twelve new vaccines and decades of science since 1986, almost no additional neurological injuries have been added to the table (as there is a massive conflict of interest in acknowledging the injury and thus the government having to pay for it). In tandem, research into vaccine neurological injuries was systematically prevented. Placebo-controlled trials were deemed "unethical," while research showing harms was dismissed as "junk science" for lacking placebo controls. When researchers conducted studies anyway, data was blocked from publication and researchers faced retaliation (e.g., an Oregon pediatrician lost his license). These studies (summarized here) showed massive increases in chronic illness. Our society did too:
Likewise, large databases containing vaccinated and unvaccinated data were withheld from researchers and remarkably when RFK's team gained access, HHS employees illegally deleted the database. The Hazards of ImmunizationIn 1966, an eminent bacteriologist wrote “The Hazards of Immunization” which disclosed a large number of forgotten vaccine disasters he’d collected (both through his team surveying the medical literature and insiders sharing their private files with him) in the hope it could lead to safer vaccines as the same disasters kept on repeating and would likely continue to do so unless his profession acknowledged those risks. In his compilation of vaccine injuries (which he felt represented less than 1% of them) he highlighted many devastating injuries (many of which happened to soldiers) that we continue to see today. Some of the key themes he covered included: •How many vaccines have been shown to cause immune suppression and makes latent infections become severe and hence suddenly appear. •How the mentality behind manufacturing vaccines makes hot lots almost unavoidable and has led to many vaccine disasters throughout history—a problem which was sadly “solved” by simply giving vaccine manufacturers immunity from injury lawsuits. •That a wide range of autoimmune and neurological injuries were caused by each vaccine and antiserum. What follows is a small sampling of the forgotten neurologic vaccine injuries Wilson shared: Typhoid VaccineIn the pre-antibiotic era, the typhoid vaccine was essential for militaries and tolerated despite its frequent complications. Many of these were of the conditions (i.e., Landry’s paralysis) we now refer to as Guillain-Barré syndrome (e.g., one of Guillain and Barré’s first GBS cases came from a typhoid vaccine). Reports included:
Note: medical students are taught that GBS is primarily due to infections (including the flu) and is a rare one in a million complication of influenza vaccination. I believe GBS is massively unreported as over the years, I’ve met so many people who developed it (or knew someone who did). For example, the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine (which had many parallels to the COVID vaccine) was pulled for causing 1 in 100,000 recipients to develop GBS, but a colleague who was in practice had roughly 6% of their patients get GBS from the vaccine. Yellow FeverHot Yellow Fever vaccines neurologic injuries were reported throughout the literature:
Rabies
It was difficult to find a vaccine dose strong enough to prevent rabies but weak enough not to cause paralysis. Rabies vaccine injuries averaged a 10-16.85% fatality rate and were one of four types:
As these injuries were often underreported, their incidence widely varied between studies:
MeaslesA 1966 case occurred in a 14-month-old who developed encephalitis 11 days after vaccination, first showing facial twitching, then fever, stopped eating, and became semi-conscious. By day 15, the child had weakness on the left side and frequent severe seizures. After four months, the child still had left-sided weakness and possible mental impairment. Vaccine Caused “Polio”Multiple papers from 1950-1956 found vaccination significantly increased polio risk. These included a 1950 paper (82 cases), another 1950 paper (14 cases), a 1952 paper (53 cases), and a 1956 report (355 cases). A 1950 statistical analysis by the epidemiologist who created standards for establishing causality found vaccination links. A 1952 paper found vaccination doubled polio risk. In 1956, a committee concluded 13% of paralysis in young children were causally related to vaccines:
DiphtheriaMost reported diphtheria vaccine injuries came from hot vaccine lots:
Pertussis
Between 1958-1965, seven fatal cases of encephalitis from DPT were recorded. Other key findings include:
SmallpoxWilson considered smallpox vaccines to have the highest complication rate. Post-vaccinal encephalomyelitis had a 35% mortality rate, with over 50% of infants under two dying on the first day. Wilson pooled studies from 8 million people finding 0.0015-0.0754% developed encephalomyelitis, while 0.0063% of 18 million developed encephalitis. He reviewed 2398 cases with 34% fatality rates. Notable reports include:
Physicians observed severe neuralgia, various paralysis types, cranial nerve issues, seizure disorders, memory loss, and general loss of vitality making patients more susceptible to other illnesses. Additionally, they observed a variety of other issues (e.g., many different skin problems). The most notable of which was many different physicians highlighting a general loss of vitality following smallpox vaccination which made their patients both weaker and more susceptible to a variety of other illnesses (and I now believe this vaccine was an inflection point in the general decline of humanity’s health). Vaccine Injury SusceptibilityWilson repeatedly highlighted that constitutionally sensitive individuals were much more likely to be injured by the smallpox vaccine. This observation in turn led to many authors encouraging giving vaccines at a later age, a study linking allergies to severe rabies vaccine reactions and a 1953 article on DPT encephalitis that concluded it was unwise to immunize any child with a pre-existing conditions suggesting increased susceptibility to DPT injuries. Over the decades, many others through their observations of vaccine injuries have likewise offered similar advice on vaccination (as sensitive patients are more likely to become vaccine-injured). Yet, to protect vaccine sales, authorities always reject those pre-existing conditions for medical exemptions. Vaccine Induced MicrostrokesThe following qualities stand out in all of Wilson’s reports: •In
many cases, the damage in the brain occurred without a virus being
present, yet many of the observed pathological changes mirrored what was
seen in certain severe viral infections •Cranial nerve deficits were often observed. •Congestion was often seen in other parts of the body. •Small hemorrhages were observed from leaking blood vessels. Each of these can be explained through vaccine induced microstrokes (triggered by zeta potential changes which cause blood cells to electrically clump together). Note: the zeta potential concept underlies many diseases (particularly vaccination injuries) and hence was covered in much more detail here (e.g., improving zeta potential cures or improves many complex diseases). Since
zeta potential changes are systemic, they will show up in many parts of
the body, and typically it is easiest to observe via changes in the
cranial nerves (as certain ones are particularly sensitive to a loss of
blood flow from systemic vascular congestion). •This process is not exclusive to vaccines and will also be seen in severe infections. •Since blood vessels also depend on their own blood supply for nourishment, if that blood supply is cut off (or vitamin C is depleted), the blood vessels will gradually die and then have small hemorrhages. •When a strong immune response occurs (e.g., many vaccines are linked to autoimmunity) it will worsen the existing vascular congestion as white blood cells are larger than red blood cells and hence obstruct small blood vessels when they enter them. •In Chinese medicine, “poor zeta potential” is equivalent to “blood stasis” , a condition that in Chinese medicine’s millennia-long history, suddenly came to be viewed as a root cause of disease shortly after the smallpox vaccine entered China. A classic symptom of blood stasis is unusual sharp shooting pains identical to the highly unusual neuralgias observed by Burnett and others. Finally, Forest Maraedy, after noticing how frequently people’s faces were, realized that in photography from a century ago, those asymmetries were quite rare and argued they were due to vaccine injuries damaging cranial nerves (as the cranial nerves govern many aspects of the face such as the eyes being centered and the facial muscles being even).
Additionally, in the same way cranial nerve deficits were often reported alongside vaccine encephalitis, Maraedy (and many others) observed that those asymmetries were more common in children with autism. In parallel, autistic children frequently have a wide range of other neurological disorders (e.g., studies find between 10-30% suffer from seizures) but this neurologic damage is always glossed over as conventional autism therapy prioritizes behavioral modification therapy and psychiatric medications. Note: because of how doctors are trained, when diagnostic signs of a stroke occur in children, they often aren’t viewed as such (since children don’t “get strokes”) and instead given other diagnoses that recognize the asymmetry but provide no explanation for its cause (e.g., strabismus). Dr. Andrew Moulden, after realizing many children were developing signs of strokes after vaccination (which often correlated with subsequent neurological injuries), uncovered the pivotal link between zeta potential and vaccine injury. ConclusionAt the time many of the original vaccines (or antiserums) were developed, infectious diseases were a major problem and few recognized treatments existed. Because of this, a mentality became entrenched that vaccinations were vital for the survival of humanity. As such, the same pattern has kept repeating: unusual neurological injuries frequently following vaccination, officials insisting vaccines are "safe and effective" despite evidence to the contrary, and the medical establishment covering injuries for the "greater good." Sadly, this cycle dates all the way back to the smallpox era, and persists today even though those diseases are no longer a major threat and many viable treatments exist for them. Having witnessed this cycle unfold for decades, it's difficult to express just how significant it is that ACIP has finally shifted. For the first time, we are beginning to have an open, honest conversation about the real risks of vaccination and about the immense suffering that vaccine-injured children and their families have been forced to bear alone. Thanks to the MAHA moment, we finally have a real opportunity to break this silence and now is the time for us to be heard so the pressure can be created to shift these longstanding issues, as while RFK can do a lot, much of it can’t happen without us being publicly behind him. I sincerely thank you for your support which makes all of this possible.
