A mother's first decision: Hep B
Note: A lot of this is technical medical language. So it may be over some of our heads, including mine, fyi. And this is also from one of the vaccine awareness forums.

The main objective of the trial was to determine the effects of probiotics BB536 supplementation on immune development and immune response to routine vaccinationin healthy infants. The primary outcome was to evaluate the immune development by measuring the representative cytokine for Th1 (IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-4) secretioncells and the specific antibody serum levels after hepatitis B (HepB), poliomyelitis (Polio), diphtheria, tetanus toxoid and pertussis (DTP)-vaccinations. The secondary objective of the study was to compare the microbiological composition of the stools between the two groups by detecting several main bacterial families.

J.B. Handley wrote about this study in his blog last week.
Subject: Hepatitis B vaccines INDUCES impairments in behavior and hippocampal neurogenesis...THEREFORE, we must IMMEDIATELY STOP giving it to newborns, infants, toddlers, and children...DUH!!!
Tell every potential and current parent you know to STOP AND READ this study, highlighted NOT by mainstream media, but by
activist parent/citizen expert, J.B. Handley:

This study is 2 years old! How many babies have been irreparably harmed and prematurely killed by Hepatitis B vaccines since it was published (not that the Hepatitis B vaccine, or any other vaccine for that matter, should ever have come to market), and why is no one in prison for manufacturing, approving, recommending, selling, covering, and administering this vaccine???
I included information about just one of the Hepatitis B vaccines in my WAPF presentation, Merck's Recombivax HB vaccine. Following that, I included the history of our middle child, and his deterioration after each set of vaccinations, including after the 3 Hep B vaccines he received in his infancy. Below are both of those excerpts, and here is the link for my presentation in its entirety:
http://www.ageofautism.com/2016/12/vaccines-what-is-there-to-be-pro-about-laura-hayes-to-weston-a-price-foundation-conference.html
Let’s now move on to vaccine package inserts, which are rarely, if ever, read by doctors, nurses, pharmacists, parents, or vaccine recipients. In the packet you will receive after my presentation, you will find a link that will take you to all vaccine package inserts. I am going to read portions of just one package insert for you, but I do hope you will make the time to read at least a few vaccine package inserts for yourself. A few is all it will take to make you realize that these products should never have been licensed, much less be mandated.
I am going to focus on Merck’s Recombivax HB, a vaccine for hepatitis B. The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended to be given to all newborns in the U.S. within hours of being born. In the state of NY, it is mandated to be given to newborns whose mothers test positive for Hepatitis B, unless the mother knows she can utilize a religious exemption to refuse it. It is only advised against for premature babies weighing less than 4.4 lbs. Hepatitis B is a disease that is contracted sexually and via the sharing of needles by drug users. If a mother has hepatitis B, she can pass it on to her baby. Despite the fact that the vast majority of newborns in the U.S. is at zero risk for contracting hepatitis B, the vaccine is recommended and/or mandated for all. Right there, you know something very wrong is transpiring…and that something is others’ wealth being prioritized over your baby’s health.
When you look at the pre-licensure trials for this vaccine for infants and children, you will notice that there were no controls, only vaccinated subjects. A mere 147 subjects were studied, which included only healthy infants and children, from infants up to age 10. I have to wonder how many of those were of an age group that couldn’t talk and were unable to describe their symptoms? The insert does not say. You will notice that study subjects were followed for a mere 5 days post-vaccination. Does that sound like a reasonable, safe, or sufficient amount of time to you? Such a severely-limited timeframe doesn’t even correspond with the Vaccine Injury Table used by the VICP, in which it is acknowledged that many vaccine injuries, including death, may take up to a week, a month, and up to 6 months post-vaccination to manifest. And of course some vaccine injuries, such as what doctors choose to call “Autism” versus the catastrophic vaccine injury that it is, may take even longer to fully manifest and be diagnosed. Thus, the 5-day time period used to monitor and assess study subjects is in no way sufficient or ethical…and it shouldn’t be allowed by government regulators.
Here are symptoms reported during the clinical trial, i.e. within the first 5 days post-vaccination: irritability, fever, diarrhea, fatigue/weakness, diminished appetite, and rhinitis (irritation and swelling of the mucous membrane of the nose). Would you wish even one of those on a newborn?
Perhaps much more importantly, however, are the adverse reactions that have been reported post-marketing, meaning after the vaccine was licensed and in use. I will be redefining some of the medical terms in layperson’s terms so you will have a better understanding of the horrors being reported after being vaccinated with Merck’s hepatitis B vaccine.
Immune System Disorders: hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions (severe, potentially life-threatening, allergic reactions that can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you’re allergic to), bronchospasm (spasm of bronchial smooth muscle producing narrowing of the bronchi, causing difficulty in breathing which can be mild to severe), and urticaria (a rash of round, red welts on the skin that itch intensely, sometimes with dangerous swelling, caused by an allergic reaction) within first few hours after vaccination; an apparent hypersensitivity syndrome (serum-like-sickness) of delayed onset, days to weeks after vaccination, including arthralgia/arthritis (joint pain/joint inflammation), fever, and dermatologic reactions such as urticaria, erythema multiforme (a type of hypersensitivity skin condition), ecchymoses (a discoloration of the skin caused by bleeding underneath), and erythema nodosum (skin inflammation in the fatty layer of skin which results in reddish, painful, tender lumps); autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus (a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs; inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs), erythematous (redness of the skin or mucous membranes caused by dilation and congestion of the capillaries), lupus-like syndrome, vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), and polyarteritis nodosa (a serious blood vessel disease in which the small and medium-sized arteries become swollen and damaged).
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Elevation of liver enzymes (indicating damage to the cells of or inflammation in your liver); constipation (which can result in inability to clear toxins and pain).
Nervous System Disorders: Guillain Barre syndrome (a condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves, considered a medical emergency, and can result in paralysis); multiple sclerosis (a demyelinating disease; it is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body); exacerbation of MS; myelitis including transverse myelitis (inflammation of the spinal cord which can result in permanent paralysis); seizure; febrile seizure; peripheral neuropathy (damage to the peripheral nerves which causes weakness, numbness, and pain in hands and feet) including Bell’s Palsy (damage to the facial nerve that causes one side of the face to droop); radiculopathy (a condition due to a compressed nerve in the spine that can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the course of the nerve); herpes zoster (shingles); migraine, muscle weakness; hypesthesia (a diminished capacity for physical sensation, especially the skin); encephalitis (brain inflammation).
Skin and Subcutaneous Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a life-threatening skin condition); alopecia (hair loss); petechiae (red and purple spots caused by bleeding into the skin); eczema (itchy, red, and dry skin caused by inflammation).
By the way, the two worst things for a developing infant are toxicity and inflammation, both of which vaccines are expert at causing.
Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: arthritis; pain in extremity.
Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (results from inflammation in the body); thrombocytopenia (a deficiency of platelets in the blood, causing bleeding into the tissues, bruising, and slow blood clotting after injury).
Psychiatric Disorders: Irritability, agitation, somnolence (extreme sleepiness).
Eye Disorders: Optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve); tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears, often with hearing loss); conjunctivitis (inflammation or infection of the outer membrane of the eyeball and the inner eyelid, also known as pink eye); visual disturbances; uveitis (inflammation of middle layer of the eye).
In other words, problems that can impact your baby’s ability to see and hear well, thus impacting and obstructing their proper development.
Cardiac Disorders: Syncope (fainting); tachycardia (abnormal rapid heart rate unrelated to level of activity).
What is missing from this list is the
Death category. How many of the aforementioned vaccine-induced injuries resulted in death? Not surprisingly, that category is noticeably and wrongfully absent.
For any of you here today who allowed this vaccine for your child, were you told about all of these potential side effects your child might experience, and possibly have to live with for the rest of their life? Were you told that there was no control group used when studying its effects in those aged 0 up to 10 years? Were you told that only 147 subjects in this age group were studied during clinical trials? Were you told the post-vaccination surveillance time period was only 5 days? Were you even told how your child could contract hepatitis B, and the extreme unlikelihood that that would happen during their infancy, toddlerhood, and childhood? If not, was your doctor practicing ethical medicine? Should he be liability-free when administering this vaccine to his patients? If he weren’t liability-free, would he be administering it?
I am going to close by telling you the story of our middle child, Ryan, now 22 years old. Ryan was born a healthy baby with an Apgar score of 9. I had a natural childbirth with him, receiving no medications during labor or delivery. Immediately after birth, he was given a vitamin K shot, which might have contained aluminum. I do not know if the particular brand he received contained aluminum, as some do, because I was not told, and I did not know to ask…or to refuse the procedure…for which there was no evidence he needed. He was also given antibiotic eye drops, which I have since come to find out used to be given only to babies whose mothers had gonorrhea. Now they are given to all newborns in the hospital, whether or not the mother has gonorrhea…which I did not. Again, another needless medical intervention for my newborn son. Both the vitamin K shot and the antibiotic eye drops were given as “routine standard of care”, as though they came with no risk, without any assessment for need, and without asking permission of me or my husband. To the best of my knowledge, he did not receive the hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital.
When he was 2 months old, I dutifully took him in for his 2-month “well baby” appointment. Looking back, with hindsight being 20/20, he would never be well again after that first of many vaccine poisonings. Up until that 2-month appointment, Ryan was a typical and normally-developing baby. He nursed well, slept often, and cried when hungry, tired, upon awakening, or needing to be changed. After that appointment, at which he received the whole cell DPT vaccine, the oral polio vaccine, and the Hib vaccine, together containing a total of 50 mcg of mercury, Ryan stopped crying…and I mean completely. I still remember the very next day thinking, my, this is odd, Ryan hasn’t cried at all today…and the lack of crying continued…the next time I remember him crying was when he accidentally crashed his head into a table when a toddler.
I should mention that I received absolutely no information at that appointment about the vaccines Ryan was given. There was absolutely no informed consent given to me, or received by the doctor from me. There was no thorough discussion, or discussion of any kind, regarding the adverse reactions that could very well occur from the vaccines given, which included polio itself since he was given the live-virus polio vaccine, seizures, brain swelling, brain damage, SIDS, to name but a very few of the many possible adverse reactions. Also absent was a thorough discussion of family medical history, which would have included many contraindications to vaccination for our children. Rather, when I walked in the exam room, a silver tray held the vaccines Ryan was to receive that day. Without so much as telling me which vaccines Ryan was getting, the nurse weighed him, measured him, gave him a total of 5 vaccines, wrote down on his brand new “record of immunizations” card the vaccines she had given him, handed it to me, and left the room. I did not receive the vaccine package inserts, as I would have for any other drug Ryan would receive. I did not receive a vaccine booklet detailing all of the childhood vaccines as federal law required at the time, nor even a sheet of paper about the vaccines Ryan had just been given. Approximately 15 minutes later is when the doctor actually came in, without so much as a word about the vaccines Ryan had just received. This scene would repeat itself at every one of Ryan’s “well-baby” appointments for the next 2 years of his life…from which Ryan would leave sicker, more delayed, and developing more odd behaviors every single time.
At 4 months old, Ryan received the DPT, oral polio, and Hib vaccines, again, which meant another 50 mcg of mercury. After this appointment, looking back at video footage, he was getting harder, instead of easier, to engage. Ryan was still not crying to get his needs met at this time, and would lie silently in his crib when put down, even if not tired, and when awake after a nap, until someone came to get him. He was an exceedingly quiet baby. And I just thought, oh, he’s so good!
At 6 months old, Ryan received the DPT and Hib vaccines, another 50 mcg of mercury. After this appointment, 2 very strange things began to happen. Ryan’s breath began to smell odd, a chemical smell of sorts…alcohol? ammonia?…which I now know was indicative of a serious yeast overgrowth problem in his gut. He also began to laugh hysterically in the middle of the night in his crib for no apparent reason. My husband and I would hustle into his room when we heard this, and there he would lie, staring up at the ceiling, with nothing on it, laughing hysterically, not even acknowledging that we had come into the room. Not knowing what to make of it, we told ourselves that he was just a very happy baby.
At 9 months old, Ryan received a hepatitis B vaccine containing another 12.5 mcg of mercury. When I mentioned to the doctor at this appointment that Ryan’s breath had a strange odor to it, which I could only compare to an alcohol-like smell at the time, she asked me, and I quote, “Is he getting into your alcohol supply?” Ryan was only crawling at the time, would not have been able to open a wine bottle or beer can, of which we rarely had any around, and which would have been kept in the refrigerator or behind a closed door in our pantry. I remember being astounded at such an inane question. She did not even bend over to smell Ryan’s breath. Instead of taking my concerns seriously, she attacked my mothering. This would not be the last time that happened.
At 12 months old, Ryan received a TB test and another hepatitis B vaccine, adding another 12.5 mcg of mercury to his load. After this appointment, Ryan stopped responding to his name, and his eye contact began to disappear. He began to stop looking up when his dad came home from work, and instead preferred to watch Wee Sing videos, mesmerized by them…as he still is today at age 22. He never did point or follow a point, both skills that occur naturally by age one…and the lack of such innately-wired skills was to become a red flag trademark of what was to become the Autism Epidemic.
At 15 months old, Ryan received his first MMR vaccine and another Hib vaccine, adding another 25 mcg of mercury to his small body, along with 3 live viruses that would later be discovered to wreak immense havoc in the young children receiving them in unison. After this appointment, Ryan’s babbling, which wasn’t that frequent to begin with, began to disappear, and he was losing the ability to imitate sounds we’d make for him to repeat. It was around this time that Ryan began to open and close doors, drawers, and cabinets repetitively, and play with the same hammer and ball toy over and over again. He also began spinning in circles at times, unresponsive to his name, and to requests to stop, or to come here…obliviously spinning in his own little world.
At 18 months old, Ryan received another DPT, another oral polio, and another Hep B vaccine, for a total of 37.5 more mcg of mercury, and for a grand total of 237.5 mcg of mercury in an 18-month timeframe for a tiny baby. This round of vaccines nearly killed him. We went home, and he became lethargic, feverish, and completely out of it. I put him in his crib, and for the next 10-plus days, he was like a limp, lifeless rag doll…uninterested in eating, drinking, waking up, or doing anything. His lethargy continued, and he slept many, many hours per day.
I called the doctor that same day, very worried about my baby. I did not get past the receptionist. She told me that his reaction was perfectly normal, and not to worry. I called every business day for 10 consecutive days, and never got past the receptionist. On the 10th day, the receptionist literally yelled at me and said, “Mrs. Hayes, please stop calling this office. Anything that happens in the first 2 weeks after a vaccination is considered a normal vaccine reaction. Do not call this office again until day 15!” Again, I was not put through to the doctor, nor did I receive a call back from the doctor despite calling so many days in a row.
Looking back, Ryan was no doubt suffering from vaccine-induced encephalitis which led to vaccine-induced encephalopathy, i.e. brain inflammation leading to permanent brain damage. When one reads the Vaccine Injury Table for vaccine-induced encephalopathy, it perfectly mirrors the symptoms of what doctors like to call “Autism”, purposefully misnamed to cast blame away from themselves and from vaccines. Vaccine-induced encephalopathy and “autism” are one and the same in Ryan’s case, and in many other cases with which I am familiar, too.
After this set of vaccinations at 18 months, Ryan’s vocalizations became near nil, with his only remaining verbal imitation being “ba ba ba”, and only after numerous requests to imitate us. His obsession with videos increased, and he learned how to hit the eject button endlessly, putting the same video in and out until stopped. His visual and depth perceptions were not normal. He would often watch his videos from an upside down or bent sideways position. At the park, I could not get to him quickly enough after helping him down the slide before he would walk smack into a metal bridge that led back to the slide. He did not learn from this painful experience, as he would walk right back into the same metal bridge again the next time, resulting in a huge lump on his forehead, from which he never cried. Additionally, we had to hold Ryan’s hand when walking until he was 4 years old because he would trip and fall when making transitions from one surface to another, such as grass to cement…and he would not break his fall…but would instead land on his forehead.
Mercury poisoning affects both visual and depth perception, and Ryan was experiencing that in spades…we just didn’t know it at the time. No one had ever mentioned that there was mercury in the vaccines he had received…not to mention levels of mercury that at just his 2-month “well-baby” appointment alone were 125 times in excess of the EPA-declared “safe” amount…not that there is a “safe” amount of mercury for any human, much less for one in the prime of their brain, nervous, and immune system development. Furthermore, that EPA-declared “safe” amount is for ingested methylmercury, not for the injected ethylmercury used in vaccines, for which studies have suggested the “safe” amount should be much lower than for methylmercury…meaning that Ryan, and millions of other children at their 2-month appointments, received 500 times the supposed “safe” level of mercury! 500 times! That is CRIMINAL! No wonder he went silent after his first set of vaccines at 2 months…he had been gravely poisoned, and the poisoning would continue at regular intervals throughout the first 2 years of his life, without my husband or me having a clue.
I have since looked at his medical records from that time period. There is no record of my calling multiple times over the course of 10 consecutive days to report how my child was non-responsive and suffering post-vaccination, nor is there a record of their telling me not to worry and that anything that happens in the first 2 weeks after vaccination is considered normal.
“Speech delay”, however, was written on the record at Ryan’s 18-month appointment. I expressed concern to the doctor at that appointment that Ryan wasn’t speaking any words, and compared to his older sister at that age, there was a huge difference. She looked at me and asked me, a stay-at-home mother whose precocious and extremely verbal 3 year-old daughter was sitting right next to me, “Do you ever sit on the ground and play with him?” Yet again, instead of listening to my concerns, she chose to attack my mothering. I replied that, yes, I played with him, read to him, talked to him, sang to him, and interacted with him all day long, as did his sister and his father, yet he was not talking.
She did some type of receptive test with him that day, too…things like asking him to walk across the room, walk on his tiptoes, and a couple other things I can’t remember. He was unable to do anything she asked, including acknowledging that he was being spoken to by her. She looked at me, and this time asked, “Is he always this naughty?” Instead of realizing that we had a toddler who had no receptive language and no understanding that he was even being addressed, she attacked him this time, and indirectly, my mothering again. I replied, “Ryan is never naughty. If anything, we are concerned that he is too good.” She had no response to that, and apparently, only thought to write “speech delay” on his chart that day.
At 24 months of age, Ryan received the new Varivax vaccine, for chicken pox. This was despite the fact that he was taking the antibiotic Septra at the time for an ear infection, and his records show that he was prescribed another round of Septra shortly thereafter, for either the same, or yet another, ear infection. Vaccines are not to be given when a child is sick, yet, Ryan’s doctor gave him a live-virus vaccine! The package insert for Varivax clearly states under “Contraindications” for vaccination “any febrile illness or active infection”. I still was not connecting the dots between Ryan’s vaccines and his subsequent regression and development of odd behaviors after every set of vaccines. However, by that time, without any help from her, I had figured out that Ryan had what was being called “autism”. Perhaps internally, I was beginning to suspect vaccines had something to do with his diagnosis and problems. Remember, this was still before vaccines were the huge public controversy they are today, and before the internet. I remember telling her I didn’t think I wanted the chicken pox vaccine for him, and she said, after I had told her my suspicion that Ryan had autism (he had not been formally diagnosed yet, we were waiting to see a pediatric neurologist), “Well, if he has autism, you don’t want him getting chicken pox.” I succumbed to that lousy argument of hers, and once again, without informed consent, and against the contraindications warning on the package insert which I was not told about, I allowed him to get that vaccine, too. Total silence from Ryan was the result. There was no more babbling or repeating any sounds whatsoever. Just complete and utter silence.
That would be his last vaccine. However, the regression would continue, in earnest, thanks to the 237.5 mcg of mercury he received, not to mention aluminum, for which I do not know the amounts…in addition to formaldehyde, other known allergens and carcinogens, cells and DNA fragments from both humans and animals, viruses and retroviruses of both human and animal origin, and who really knows what all he was shot up with. To this day, he tests toxic for a number of heavy metals, and the mercury is so deeply embedded in his brain, bones, tissues, and organs, it can’t be properly measured. He tests positive for antibodies to myelin basic protein, meaning his body attacks the sheaths that are supposed to cover every nerve cell in his body, rendering them unable to communicate properly. He tests allergic to many foods and is on a restricted diet. I could go on.
I have spent the last 2 decades of my life running an ABA program for Ryan, who requires a most-precise method of teaching for even the most basic of concepts, and then thousands of trials to learn something, and thousands more trials to retain and generalize it. He also sees a doctor who treats the vaccine-injured, for which we must fly to another state. That is despite my husband and I being co-founders of the MIND Institute at UC Davis, which is 30 minutes from our house. MIND has been a huge disappointment and has chosen to ignore and deny the unmistakable role that vaccines have played in the vaccine-induced autism epidemic that has been plaguing our country for more than 25 years.
At 6’4” tall and 180 lbs., Ryan is a boy in a man’s body, with a functioning level of a 4 or 5 year old. He is fully dependent on others and must be supervised and cared for around the clock, without pause. He did not complete high school or go to college. He does not have a driver’s license, and never will. He is not capable of living independently, or earning a living, or even holding down a menial, part-time job. He will not get married or have children. As a matter of fact, he will never even go out on a first date. He was robbed of ever living a typical and independent life because he was poisoned and disabled by vaccines beginning in 1994 and continuing through 1996.
To date, there has been no admittance by his pediatrician or government officials about what was done to him. No government agent has followed up on his vaccine injuries so the same thing won’t happen to other children. Rather, he is one of the unacknowledged, uncounted, uncompensated, ignored, discounted, and publicly-denied victims who make up the ever-increasing epidemic of vaccine-injured persons.
