Vaccination and the Growing Rates of Childhood Food Allergies
The Vaccine Reaction ^ | 2017 | Rishma Parpia

Posted on 03/08/2019 1:15:54 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

Cathryn Nagler PhD, a food allergy professor at the University of Chicago discusses her research on the cause of food allergies and states:

Environmental stimuli such as antibiotic overuse, high fat diets, caesarean birth, removal of common pathogens and even formula feeding have affected the microbiota with which we’ve co-evolved. Our results suggest this could contribute to the increasing susceptibility to food allergies.

Interestingly, current research on the cause of food allergies does not consider vaccination as a contributing factor. However, in the past, there have been studies demonstrating an association between vaccine ingredients and development of food allergies.

This is an important area of research to pursue, given that the number of vaccines recommended in the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule has doubled since 1983.

In 1908, a study showed that injecting as little as 50ng of ovalbumin (a protein found in egg whites) into guinea pigs resulted in their immune system developing a sensitization to ovalbumin. Additional injections of ovalbumin led to an allergic reaction.

In 1952, another study found the possibility of sensitization to eggs following the administration of the influenza vaccine that are manufactured using chicken eggs.12 13 In 1999, a study found evidence of a casual relationship between the pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus vaccine (DTaP) vaccine and the development of a gelatin allergy.

In 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services appointed the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to provide a review of medical and scientific evidence on the adverse effects of vaccines. The 2011 IOM report does affirm that vaccine ingredients do indeed lead to the development of allergies. The report states:

Adverse events on our list thought to be due to IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions Antigens in the vaccines that the committee is charged with reviewing do not typically elicit an immediate hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen, toxoids, gelatin, ovalbumin, casamino acids). However, as will be discussed in subsequent chapters, the above-mentioned antigens do occasionally induce IgE-mediated sensitization in some individuals and subsequent hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis.

The effect of vaccine adjuvants and multiple simultaneous vaccinations also contributes to the development of food allergies. A report published in the Journal of Developing Drugs explains:

Pertussis toxin and aluminum compounds act as adjuvants. These adjuvants are known to bias for IgE synthesis. Injecting food proteins along with these adjuvants increases the immunogenicity of the food proteins that are present in the vaccines. With up to five shots administered simultaneously, numerous food proteins and adjuvants get injected at one time. This increases the probability of sensitization.

A comment on the website read as follows:

“Perhaps the food allergy problems are linked more to the genetic engineering of our food. I have a young son with celiac disease, alopecia, and thyroid issues. He has never been vaccinated and he had a natural child birth. I am a non vaccinator but I don’t think that the vaccines are the whole issue. There is so much propaganda on all sides that it is impossible to make a clear argument for or against. My reasons for not vaccinating my child were from both a medical standpoint and a biblical one. We should be looking at the whole picture rather than focusing on the vaccines. I imagine that there is much money to be had by taking the anti stance and promoting a biased view. Until someone decides to take a truly unbiased view we will have to rely upon our gut as parents to do what is best for our children.”

And one more: Sen. Rand Paul Says Vaccines Give a False Sense of Security

“It is wrong to say that there are no risks to vaccines. Even the government admit that children are sometimes injured by vaccines. Since 1988, over $4 billion has been paid out from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Despite the government admitting to in paying $4 billion for vaccine injuries, no informed consent is used or required when you vaccinate your child. This may be the only medical procedure in today’s medical world where an informed consent is not required.”

(It is my understanding that as a doctor, he advocates for parents rights and promotes adjusted vaccine schedules, but is not an outright ‘anti-vaxxer’ to my knowledge)

The Missus has a severe peanut allergy. When I met her back in the 1980’s it seemed strange and rare.

Now it seems half the population has this allergy, to the point that planes and ballparks are banning peanuts.

It may or may not be vaccines, but something sure as heck has changed in the past thirty years.

All that's clear is that a well reasoned, thoughtful debate is not being had in the medical/science community nor among the public. Too many vaccine interests at stake among big Pharma, and lots of 'anti-vax' fear mongering in upper-middle America. But we need to meet in between.

Little known facts about the great Salk Vaccine.

Field trials for the Salk vaccine were conducted on more than 1,800,000 children in the United States in 1954.4 Sponsored by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (NFIP), now known as the March of Dimes, “623,972 schoolchildren were injected with vaccine or placebo, and more than a million others participated as ‘observed’ controls.’5

On April 12, 1955, Thomas Francis Jr., MD, director of the Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation Center at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, announced to the world that the Salk vaccine was “safe, effective, and potent,”—that it was “up to 90%” effective in preventing paralytic polio. Dr. Francis had been one of Dr. Salk’s professors at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health Department of Epidemiology where Salk did his postgraduate training.4

During mid-April of 1955, about 400,000 people—mostly schoolchildren—in the U.S. were vaccinated with the Salk vaccine manufactured by Cutter Laboratories.6 It turns out that more than 200,000 of these children, living in five western and midwestern states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico7), were injected with vaccines “in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective.” The Cutter-produced vaccines ended up causing 40,000 cases of polio. It severely paralyzed 200 children and killed 10.

The first of these cases to be reported was that of a young girl named Susan Pierce, who had received the vaccine on April 18, 1955.7 Five days later, she developed fever and neck stiffness. Six days later, her left arm was paralyzed. Seven days later, she was placed in an iron lung, and nine days later, she was dead.

Adjuvants in vaccines... we don’t know what unintended consequences from this.

It’s a question worth asking and investigating

That’s because like any other issues where a well-reasoned, thoughtful debate is called for, they never happen due to the Saul Alinkyization of our culture. It’s not about ideas, it’s about vilifying and destroying your opponent.

My guess is that all vaccines have some quantifiable failure rate like this due to variances in individual body chemistry or whatever. And that someone in authority made the judgment call that it's worth paying that price in order to immunize the rest of society.

Of course you can't come right out and say that, hence the lying and the defensiveness and the endless propaganda.

Oh, and the vaccine industry's unprecedented immunity from civil suits.

“It may or may not be vaccines, but something sure as heck has changed in the past thirty years.”

Exactly right. Same for autism.

It would be better for all concerned if the vaccine industry (big pharma) and their lackeys would ease up on the fascism and encourage open and honest discussion on the topic.

Trying to pound people into submission doesn’t usually work with Americans. Real Americans, that is. If anything it makes them more suspicious of their intentions.

And just saying “it’s for the children” simply doesn’t cut it anymore.

And since we have ramped it up from 6-8 required vaccines to nearly 50 over that span, they are a logical place to focus an enquiry.

This place is going to hell in a hand-basket. Over the years I have seen a rise in the number of anti vaxer whack jobs, moon landing hoaxers, flat earthers, 9/11 conspiracy nuts, and other of the same ignorant ilk. It’s like an infestation.

What does ANY of this have to do with Conservatism? All it’s good for is making us look like a bunch of nuts.

The immune system is complex beyond belief and I don’t think they’ll ever figure out one factor that contributes to allergies.

I suspect it’s a whole range of factors, and different for each person, depending on genetic inclinations.

I was born in 1947, and had the normal vaccinations one got as a kid back then. When the polio vaccines came out, all four of us kids got them. They weren't pleasant. It was a series of three I believe, and they were given intra-muscularly via the old stainless steel syringes doctors used, then sterilized for re-use. I had chicken pox as a baby, and the measles. Never had the mumps, and I don't remember if any of my siblings ever did.

My mother wasn't the greatest cook, and I was a picky eater growing up...baby of the family. My Dad cooked every weekend, and most of the fried foods we ate were cooked in bacon grease. We used to eat raw hamburger out of the fridge from time to time. With four of us doing it, I'm surprised there was any left for my mother to make supper with, but none of us ever got sick. We ate raw, peeled potatoes, sprinkling salt on them. At Easter, we boiled eggs, then colored them. They were never refrigerated afterwards because they were sitting in our Easter baskets. My Dad made his own stuffing, and regularly stuffed a chicken for Sunday dinner, and a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. None of us ever got sick from the leftovers sitting out, and none of us, including my parents ever had any food allergies.

I have two sons of my own. Both were vaccinated when they were young, both got the oral Polio vaccines. My oldest son got the first measles vaccine issued, and then a few years later, got measles. We found out later, that the initial batch of measles vaccine was not effective. My youngest son got the later measles vaccine. Both kids had chicken pox. Both got the Mumps vaccine. Neither son has ever had any food allergies.

The rise in food allergies is probably attributable to the decline in breast feeding.

Human milk oligosaccharides are only found in mother's milk and are responsible for aiding in the colonization of the infant gut by beneficial bifidobacteria, which comprise 99% of the gut flora in healthy infants. There is no good substitute for HMOs. There is evidence that a lack of HMO nutrient and bifidobacteria flora is responsible for children developing food allergies.

There are many, many studies out there, here is a good one: Immunological Effects of Human Milk Oligosaccharides.

Don't blame vaccines when the evidence points elsewhere.

And dont forget about all the extra crap THEY KNEW ABOUT that was in the vaccines they were giving out and didn’t say anything about.

Like the SV-40 virus, among others, that cause cancer in people. they knew the vaccines were contaminated and used them anyways.
