Claus Dietrich’s disbelief in the “ongoing disbelief” is perfectly understandable, given his apparent disconnection with current realities surrounding the vaccine debate.

People are waking up to the insane notion that their children need 75 vaccines by the age of 18.

He agrees that “vaccines don’t always work and/or have adverse effects in a small percent of cases.”

How does $3.6 billion in injury/death compensation by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program sound in terms of “small percent”?

Dr. Andrew Wakefield did not publish an anti-vaccine screed, nor did he retract it. Dr. Wakefield and 12 other respected researchers authored a case study examining the relationship between bowel disease and regressive neuro-developmental disorders.

The findings of that study have been replicated by dozens of labs across the globe and the gut/brain relationship is now accepted medical science.

Wakefield called for more research, and single vaccines instead of the trivalent measles-mumps-rubella [MMR] shot. Six months later, Merck and the U.K. National Health Service withdrew the availability of single-antigen shots, which threatened Merck’s MMR patent.

Curious that Dietrich is clued into Dr. Wakefield’s personal financial situation. Evidence for the “quite a bundle” is in order, though I won’t hold my breath.

Crack open “Dissolving Illusions,” if you want to read an “actual history book,” as it’s based on authentic vital statistics records that anyone can verify, should they want to.

The meme about all the littered bodies due to infectious diseases prior to vaccines dissipates into the void under the glare of honest, inquiring science. Insert sewage treatment, clean drinking water and proper nutrition, and you’ll find the true remedy to those illnesses that have and, in some regions, continue to plague the earth.
