Vaccines And How They Are Made

Joanna Karpasea-Jones, mother, Founder of VAN UK. and author of 

‘Vaccination: Everything You Should Know About Your Child’s Jabs and More’, 

By the time he is 13 months old, he will have been given 50 vaccines (51 when they introduce chickenpox vaccine). This is because the number of injections is not the same as the number of vaccines, for instance, MMR is one jab but three vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella. Prevnar is one jab but seven vaccines for seven types of pneumonia.

Here is the 2008 UK Vaccination Schedule:

2 Months: DTAP/HIB/IPV (tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, pertussis bacteria, Hib bacteria, 3 polio viruses), Prevnar (7 types of pneumonia) = 15 different viruses or bacteria. 

3 Months: DTAP/HIB/IPV (tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, pertussis bacteria, HIB bacteria, 3 polio viruses), Meningitis C (1 meningitis C bacteria) = 8 different viruses or bacteria. 

4 Months: DTAP/HIB/IPV (tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, pertussis bacteria, HIB bacteria, 3 polio viruses), Meningitis C (1 meningitis C bacteria), Prevnar (7 types of pneumonia) = 15 viruses or bacteria. 

12 months: Hib vaccine (HIB bacteria), Meningitis C (meningitis C bacteria) = 2 bacterium. 

13 Months: MMR (measles, mumps and rubella viruses), Prevnar (7 types of pneumonia) = 10 viruses or bacteria. (Source for Schedule: http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/Immunization Schedule (schedule correct at January 2009). 

So what exactly is in the vaccines they want to give your child? When I was a young and inexperienced first time mother, I thought maybe they just contained the germs they ‘immunise’ against and maybe a little water mixed in. Some probing at a medical library revealed that all vaccines are in fact, a toxic blend of chemicals, metals and human or animal blood products. 

Here I will explain which vaccines will be offered to your child, what they are composed of and the affects of those ingredients on the body.

DTAP/IPV/HIB

 This injection is given at 2, 3 and 4 months of age and is for vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular (half-cell) Pertussis, 3 types of Polio virus, and Haemophilus Influenza B infection.
It contains: Diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, five components of the bordetella pertussis bacteria, filamentous haemagglutinin (the part of the bacteria which causes infection), pertactin, three types of inactivated polio virus, types 1, 2 and 3, a component of Haemophilus influenza type B which has been attached to tetanus toxoid to make babies produce more antibodies to it, neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B (3 types of antibiotics), formaldehyde, 2-phenoxyethanol (a detergent which is the main ingredient of anti-freeze), aluminum, polysorbate 80 (an emulsifier linked to male infertility), and water. (Sanofi Pasteur vaccine manufacturer's leaflet, December 2007).

Meningitis C

This injection is given along side DTAP/IPV/HIB at 2, 3 and 4 months of age.
It contains: Meningococcal group C bacterium, diphtheria CRM protein, aluminum, sodium chloride and water (as stated in the Meningitec Vaccine data sheet, 1999, Wyeth Vaccines) – they fail to disclose what the vaccine is cultured on, but this is usually some form of animal or human tissue.

Prevnar (Pneumonia):

This contains SEVEN different types of pneumonia, so it's actually a 7-in-1 injection rather than a single vaccine: serotypes 4, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F and 6B, CRM carrier protein (diphtheria toxoid purified by ammonium sulfate), aluminum.

MMR

This injection is given between the ages of 12 and 15 months, and is to vaccinate against three quite mild childhood illnesses, measles, mumps and rubella.
It contains: Live measles virus, mumps virus, rubella virus, sorbitol, sodium phosphate, sucrose, gelatin, human albumin, chick embryos, fetal bovine serum (aborted calf baby), human diploid cell (aborted human baby), neomycin (as stated in MMR 2 manufacturer’s data sheet, Merck, Sharp and Dohme LTD).

Why are there so many chemicals in vaccines? 

To start with, a virus or bacteria cannot grow without unclean conditions (much the same as a naturally occurring illness cannot take hold in the body without a diseased condition already being present). To manufacture a vaccine virus, they therefore have to use animal or human tissue and blood products to grow the virus or bacteria on. They also have to add preservatives (which until recently was thimerosal, a Mercury compound. It is used in the manufacturing process, just not as an actual added ingredient), or something like 2-phenoxyethanol, which is the main ingredient of anti-freeze.

They then have to put in antibiotics, such as neomycin or polymyxin to stop the child getting a vaccine site infection, and to prevent bacteria from spreading round the internal organs (known as vaccinia). This would be a more common problem if antibiotics weren’t routinely added.

As well as this, if the vaccine contains ‘killed’ or inactive viruses, then they will add in a substance to render the virus dead, usually formaldehyde, which is one of the world’s most toxic substances and is carcinogenic. There are also additional PH buffering chemicals, emulsifiers, absorbers and stabilizers sometimes known as vaccine 'excipients', for example, Octoxynol 9, polysorbate 20 and 80 and Sodium borate.

Finally, they include adjuvants, such as aluminum or other heavy metals. They put in adjuvants to kick the immune system into producing more antibodies.

The child would never produce a readable antibody level to any of the vaccine virus, so they have to put in extremely toxic adjuvants like aluminum so that the antibody response will increase. The child is then thought to be ‘immune’ to the diseases, when in all reality, he or she is probably just reacting to heavy metals. 

What side-effects can these chemicals cause? 

• 2-Phenoxyethanol: This is the ingredient that has replaced thimerosal. It can cause systematic poisoning, headache, shock, weakness, convulsions, kidney damage, kidney failure, cardiac failure, death. 

• The Ethylene Oxide component is a skin irritant also responsible for causing burns, blisters, dermatitis, and eczema conditions (according to vaccine data sheet toxicology notes and Marshall Sittig, Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens, 2nd Ed. (Park Ridge, NJ: Noyes Publications, 1985). 

• Aluminum: Aluminum is a carcinogen, that is capable of causing cancer. The bureau of Biologics stated that ‘there is little doubt that some of the material containing aluminum as an adjuvant appears to be carcinogenic.' In animal tests, it caused fibrosarcomas at the injection site. 

(You can read more about this in Jamie Murphy’s book, ‘What Every Parent Should Know About Immunization’, Earth Healing Products). 

Aluminum has also been linked to memory loss, lack of concentration, dementia and other brain injuries. Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is a class 1 carcinogen, labeled by the Environmental Protection Agency in the US as a ‘hazardous waste.’ According to Dr. Penny Stanway, famous author of ‘Breast Is Best’ and ‘Green Babies’, ‘sensitivity to formaldehyde has been linked with eye, nose, throat and lung irritation, headaches, depression, memory loss and dizziness. 1 in 5 people exposed to formaldehyde may be affected…’

She goes onto say in a chapter about vaccination, that ‘Parents in a green family come up against a difficult decision, whether to submit their child to immunization..in affect, the decision comes down to a choice between what is best for your child and what is best for everyone else’s children. From a green point of view, the latter might be the preferred choice.’

Clearly, this shows that even doctors themselves are sometimes unaware of the toxic ingredients in vaccines, they simply administer them.

Neomycin and other antibiotics: These suppress the immune system, leaving the child more susceptible to colds and virus. Some children are also allergic to them. Repeated use of antibiotics can render them ineffective against major illnesses such as meningitis. They have also been linked with the rise in allergies such as asthma and eczema.

Octoxynol 9 contains glycol ether which is toxic and has been directly linked to infertility problems in men. Namely low sperm count, abnormally shaped sperm and sperm with poor motility. Painters and decorators in particular have been warned not to work with paints containing glycol, yet it is happily injected into male babies.

Polysorbate 20 and 80 are detergent type chemicals. After injection they convert into sorbitol and ethylene oxide which is more toxic than the original chemical. It can cause changes in heart function, infections of the blood/brain barrier, seizures and even death.

Polysorbate 80 is also a known infertility agent used by the Population Council of WHO in the development of anti-pregnancy vaccines since the 1960's. See my article on this website here:

Sodium Borate is neuro toxic and not meant for internal use, yet it is used in some vaccines, including the new Gardasil vaccine for cervical cancer. At a cellular level it can cause changes to DNA. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flushed skin, changes in respiration and pulse, lethargy, seizures, shock, metabolic acidosis, vascular collapse and death. It can also cause mental illness such as depression, mental confusion and hyperactivity. It may be a clue as to why there are so many children with depression and behavior disorders.

This study, (Gordon AS ; Prichard JS ; Freedman MH Can. Med. Assoc. J.; VOL 108 ISS Mar 17 1973, P719-721, 724, (REF 6) [IPA]) reported that when 2 infants had their soothers dipped in sodium borate and honey, they developed seizure disorders.

Another study, (Brit. Med. J.; 2(5705), 314, 1970; (REF:11)) cited the case of a baby who died as a result of sodium borate in his disposable nappy/diaper and several other babies who became seriously ill. The British Pediatrics Association called for sodium borate not to be used during infancy, yet it is sometimes in vaccines.

Animal Products and Human Fetal Tissue: Children produce antibodies to ALL elements of the vaccine, not simply the viruses, so children vaccinated with gelatin containing vaccines can sometimes develop allergies to food stuffs containing gelatin. There is also a risk of transmission of BSE and the human form, CJD, if bovine serum is used, and contamination of vaccine with animal diseases (such as Simian Virus 40, found in Polio vaccines). Because they enter the blood stream, they are also capable of permanently altering our DNA.
This is why some vaccinologist’s prefer to use human tissue for vaccines. However, using human fetal tissue also presents problems, as the recipient can then develop antibodies to human tissue, which results in auto-immunity, whereby the person’s body attacks its own nerves and brain cells.
