“I’m not a doctor, which brings me to another point. It seems like the media is often giving celebrities and actors more authority on this issue than they’re giving the experts and that’s a sad fact. And I know that’s a paradox – that’s part of why I wanted to become a spokesperson, so I could say, ‘Please don’t listen to me, don’t listen to the actors, go to the experts.”
- Amanda Peet on Good Morning America standing by her pro-childhood vaccination stance and begging parents not to listen to actors like Jenny McCarthy and Charlie Sheen who publicly oppose such vaccinations.

ah yes thanks for the advice a”MAN”da
the experts. right. the same “experts” who put my mother on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) which gave her cancer (thanks docs) the same ones who over prescribe meds for half the free world. I’ll get right on that. and i still think you’re a so so actress who starred in “Takedown” the film that wasn’t released because it was a false unfair depiction of my best friend. so FY
Another puppet for Big Pharma….
As concerned parents, we have been researching the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for many months. We participated in a presentation were the speaker was one of my favorite researchers and authors on the topic, Neil Z. Miller. He is a medical research journalist and natural health advocate and author of numerous articles and books on vaccines. Miller is also the director of the Think Twice Global Vaccine Institute. He has a degree in psychology (with an emphasis on statistical analysis) and is a member of Mensa.
The presentation was about two hours and only touched the surface on the extensive amount documented data he has discovered through government, medical and scientific journals. He started researching vaccines before his son was born over 23 years ago. What began as a parental endeavor for information turned into a public awareness crusade.
He tells us most of the vaccine information that the public is told is misinformation and propaganda. Accurate data is not released through regular media outlets.
During the presentation they polled the audience on various questions. We learned that the U.S. has more vaccinations than any other country in the world and we also have the 42nd worst infant mortality rate in the world.
Dr. Baylock, a well known neurosurgeon has documented damage in children’s brains due to toxic overload from vaccines. He wrote the compelling foreword of Miller’s latest book.
The “idea” that vaccines will keep our children safe is like playing russian roulette. Miller advocates parents being fully informed and know that they have freedom of choice, especially when it comes to the health and well being of their children. “Don’t count on your doctors to give you all he information.” Miller warns. He suggests looking at each vaccine independently and that is exactly was he has presented for all people in his book: Vaccine Safety Manual for Concerned Families and Health Practitioners.
We live in a pill popping society where there is a drug for every ailment, but we have more chronic conditions and diseases than we have ever had before. Drug companies continue to make drugs and vaccine manufacturers will continue to make vaccines. They will put pressure on the FDA to say that they are safe and the CDC to recommend them to the schedule. Currently families that follow the recommended schedule are giving their children 36 drugs by 18 months of age. “We are injecting healthy people with unhealthy substances.” Miller said.
Miller says, “There are more vaccines in the pipeline”. The next big push is for adolescent and adults vaccines, even vaccines for those with addictions. There are no studies done on combination vaccines and how they react with one another. Not to mention any reactions with other environmental, drug or food chemicals or toxins.
“This is not hearsay. I have documented all of this information.” Miller says. The FDA and CDC have a 12-15 member panel. The FDA determines what will be licensed and the CDC will then recommend it to the schedule.
Congressmen Dan Burton held congressional hearings to investigate these committees. There were clear conflicts of interest including, members that owned stock or patent to a vaccine or they were paid consultants to the vaccine manufactures.
In June of 2000 there was a ‘secret’ meeting of top officials from Big Pharma, FDA and CDC. There they discussed the evidence that vaccines were harmful and instead of alerting parents they spent the rest of the weekend on how they were going to cover it up. Robert Kennedy Jr wrote and article about this story for Rolling Stone in 2005. Click here to read article.
Miller also addressed some common questions including mercury being removed from vaccines. In 1999 AAP said mercury was going to be removed from vaccines; however it was not required for the current stock of vaccines to be returned or destroyed. Three years later to balance that out, it was mandated that children get multiple flu vaccines that had high concentrations of mercury (thimerisol the chemical that contains 50% mercury).
Many parents choose to space out vaccines or create their own schedule. Miller thinks there may be some merit to it. He gave a drinking analogy. The reactions are different if you have shot after shot of tequila or have 1 tequila shot that night out with your friends. He still warns that if you decided to space out or do single shots the vaccines still come with significant reactions. There is no testing or screening to know if a child has a predisposition or may have a reaction.
We do know that more and more children are having reactions and autism is on the rise. The good news is for parents that choose not to vaccinate there are either religious or philosophical exemptions available.
Miller tells us that Autism rates surpasses cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined. This is a true epidemic. He also mentions the flu statistics are false. “More people die in this country from asthma and malnutrition than the flu.” Miller also spoke of the link between vaccines and asthma, mercury and autism but was very clear that mercury is not the only problem. “All of this information is documented information,” he repeats.
We are conditioned to believe that vaccines are safe and vaccines are effective. If this was true children would not be having reactions and dying and people that were vaccinated would not get the disease. This is clearly not the case.
Another astounding bit of information was about the Polio Vaccine. There is an industry that raises monkeys and then kills them to use their kidneys to develop the polio vaccine.
Monkeys carry several viruses and one in particular, SV-40 is known to cause cancer. Numerous people were infected and cancer rates have increased 20-30% around the world.
This virus is also transmitted similarly to AIDS.
The Vaccine Safety Manual is the world’s most complete guide to immunization risks and protection. It includes pertinent information on every major vaccine: polio, tetanus, MMR, hepatitis A, B, HPV (cervical cancer), Hib, Flu, chickenpox, shingles, rotavirus, pneumococcal, meningococcal, RSV, DTaP, anthrax, smallpox, TB, and more. All of the information, including detailed vaccine safety and efficacy data, is written in an easy-to-understand format, yet includes more than 1,000 documented citations. More than 75 charts, graphs and illustrations supplement the text. This encyclopedic health manual is an important addition to every family’s home library and will be referred to again and again.
Why don’t you naysayers head over to India or Africa and see what happens to populations without access to modern-day vaccines? Smallpox, malaria, measles, polio – all preventable. Hundreds of thousands of lives could be SAVED by vaccines, not the opposite, as you are trying to argue.
Instead of concentrating on what the vaccines cause, I’d like to know if you really understand the complications and effects of the diseases themselves. There is a reason we have endeavored to stop these illnesses, and if you need proof, go read about smallpox and the millions of people it killed (in the 20th century alone) prior to eradication via vaccine.
Sunshine, did the doctors you mention in your post, when making their statistical points, talk about how quickly diseases reappear when vaccinated populations stop effective vaccination programs? For instance, did they talk about the outbreaks of measles recently (within the last five years) in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Italy, Austria and Switzerland? No “regular media outlets” necessary to get to this information – try counting gravestones instead. Completely preventable.
Furthermore, would you feel comfortable taking an unvaccinated child to a country where the child would not have the protection of an otherwise-vaccinated society? What if your child contracted measles, which is obviously making a comeback, because you didn’t vaccinate your child? Do you know what measles causes? Try blindness, sterility, and child mortality.
And since you brought it up, let’s turn to polio. A friend of mine’s father contracted polio at age 19, and after having spent the rest of his adulthood in a wheelchair, then had to face post-polio syndrome (occurs 20-40 years after the initial bout with polio), which is just as devastating as polio itself. Your words are a slap in the face to anyone who has had to suffer through that disease in this country prior to the availability of the vaccine. Go ask a polio victim (really, why don’t you?)whether or not he or she would accept the risks of any vaccine. Kind of a no-brainer, wouldn’t you say?
Oh, and if humanity is lucky enough to discover a vaccine for AIDS, HIV or even cancer, would you still deny your children access to these killers?
What blows my mind completely are parents that deny vaccines to their children out of religious reasons. Um, healing the sick was one of the biggest aspects to the teachings of Jesus Christ. I think I know what Jesus would do. Vaccinate.
I find it amazing the spoiled-little-rich-kid whining of Westerners in complaining without cause about the very thing that has contributed to the health and prosperity of their society. You have clearly never lived in a time or place that is suffering from pervasive preventable diseases. The only thing vaccines give us is the health and vigor to have a loud enough voice to complain about how good they have been for us. Bravo!
Peet has science on her side, Jenny has personal anecdotes; which do you think are more reliable?
She sure is a moron, isn’t she? I wonder if she knows the Paul Offit (aka Dr. Proffit) she gets her vaccine advice from holds a patent in the rotateg vaccine and is Mercks spokeperson. Yep ladies and gents, it seems he can be bought for the right price but then again, so can Amanda Peet!
BTW: I refuse to ever watch a movie she is in ever again LOL Shes a skanky parasite herself and a low rate actress anyways. God help her if all those vaccines hurt her daughter but then again, she has NO RIGHT to complain if they do and I hope her daughter sues the piss out of her skanky ass LOL
Doesn’t matter what ms.Peet says – you all have already made your decisions to deny your child access to these vaccinations… I could suggest that from here on, any unvaccinated children be segragated from vaccinated children in schools – I could also suggest that legal assistance be made available for any child to sue their parents for gross negligence in the future, should their lives suffer as a result of your narrow mindedness (because you can be damn sure there will be plenty of them who would qualify for such a thing, were it available…) – but I won’t suggest anything of the sort.
I will say this however – thanks for taking a course of action that I reckon will thin the herd out a fair bit in the coming years, as more and more people die as a result of completely preventable illnesses… (dont believe me? Go look up the UK statistics for MEASLES related deaths in children in recent years, due to the same kind of stupidity I’m seeing from you people…)
