[SaneVax: Can you imagine giving your infant 14 vaccinations every day for the first two years of their life? Dr. Paul Offit’s now infamous statement about the theoretical tolerance infants have for 10,000 vaccines would require exactly that if his theory were to be tested in a clinical trial. Any volunteers?]
10,000 Crazy Vaccines, by Sandy Lunoe, VacTruth.com
There was a storm of amazement and disbelief when Dr. Paul Offit, vaccine industry insider and perhaps the most widely stated defender of vaccine safety, made the outrageous statement that each infant would have the theoretical capacity to respond to about 10,000 vaccines at any one time.
Many denounced the statement as being downright crazy, but it was soon apparent that there was method in the madness.
The words originated from Dr. Offit’s and co-authors’ article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics “Addressing Parents’ Concerns: Do Multiple Vaccines Overwhelm or Weaken the Infant’s Immune System?” (1)
The statement is not supported by facts. It is based on a purely theoretical calculation with no relation to reality and it should have been dismissed as having no practical application.
But it was not dismissed. On the contrary it is widely quoted completely out of context to promote concomitant administration of many vaccines.
The strategy is surely to lull parents into accepting introduction of even more vaccines in the childhood vaccination schedule, the more the merrier.
When asked whether vaccines contain toxic substances the response from Dr. Offit and other vaccine promoters is frequently: “The Dose Makes the Poison”, in other words, their presence in vaccines is in too small amounts to cause toxicity.
Here’s an illustrative statement by Dr.Offit:
Dr. Paul Offit explained it again, in response to misinformation by Dr. Bob Sears, saying that “By creating the notion of zero tolerance, Sears fails to educate his readers that the dose makes the poison, that it is the amount of a potential toxin and not its mere presence that counts.
So the mere presence of formaldehyde, neomycin, streptomycin, and aluminum, etc., in vaccines doesn’t make them toxins”.
– Just a moment Dr. Offit, you do in other words admit that substances in vaccines may be toxic if they are present over certain limits. Then it must necessarily follow that you also admit that in the case of many vaccines administered, levels of substances may reach levels causing toxicity.
So how on earth can you seriously and publically advocate concomitant administration of a very large number of vaccines?
We appreciate that you are a very busy person, but may one reason that you did not respond to my email message be that it was problematic to answer?
My (Sandy Lunoe’s) email to you includes:
“Your study includes a theoretical calculation regarding the capacity of the immune system. I understand that it does not refer to the toxicological aspect – that the presence of toxic substances may amount to large quantities in the case of a large number of vaccines administered concomitantly and may therefore potentially cause serious adverse events”.
Dr. Offit, we are many who await your response with considerable interest.
