In a last dangerous act as senator, Ed Emery discourages use of COVID-19 vaccine

Normally, I publish politicians' columns without comment, but when a politician issues one that is not only riddled with misinformation, but could also cause people to die, I gladly make an exception.

In this report, one of the last term-limited Sen. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, will issue before he leaves office next month, Emery uses the statements of discredited doctors and anti-vaccine crusaders to encourage skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccinations that will soon be available.

Emery also revives the thoroughly disproven idea that annual flu shots increase a person's chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease.

Elected representatives have the duty to present their constituents with the best and most accurate information available. During his eight years in the Missouri House and eight years in the Missouri Senate, Ed Emery has consistently ignored anything that varies from his preconceived notions of the way things are.

His report has already been sent to his constituents. It is printed below, including my comments on some of the fact-challenged information Emery provides.

In the midst of the coronavirus and the imminent release of new vaccines, I thought this information from a close personal friend might be helpful to families considering whether to be vaccinated. 

The information comes from Dr. Ronald Jones, a retired physician who faithfully served families for decades as a trusted pediatrician. Dr. Jones’ original document is several pages, and I have heavily edited it below. 

Much of his original commentary pertained to childhood vaccines and may be extremely important to some who read this. If so, you may email or call my office for the complete copy. If you would like to talk to Dr. Jones and have him talk to a group, please provide me with your contact information for his use. The website he includes below for vaccine ingredients does not yet include analyses of the coronavirus vaccines, but information may be available on the internet.

Dr. Theresa Deisher is head of the Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute, who has done extensive research on the development and application of vaccines. The institute’s work focuses on differentiating myth from science regarding vaccine safety. 

In a presentation made to legislators in 2019, she warned especially against the harm done by fetal tissue or aluminum in vaccines. More is available on the institute’s website, and I can furnish an amply footnoted letter from her to legislators describing her concerns. Contact my office if you would like an emailed copy.

What follows is a portion of the information Dr. Jones shared with me:

“There is a widespread belief that childhood immunizations are responsible for ending the scourge of deaths from childhood diseases in our nation, but this is largely false. A look at the timing of vaccine introduction shows that such childhood deaths had virtually disappeared before the vaccines were even introduced. The most likely causes of reduced deaths is likely improved sanitation, better diets, and other public health measures.

“The CDC claims that all childhood vaccines are ‘safe and effective,’ but the U.S. Supreme Court has called vaccines ‘unavoidably unsafe.’ (Note: That is not what the Supreme Court ruling said. The "unavoidably unsafe" did not refer to the vaccines, but to the side effects that sometimes occur.)_Most don’t know that, in the 1980s, pharmaceutical companies were being sued so often by the parents of vaccine-injured children that they appealed to the federal government for help. Rather than calling for proof that the vaccines were not causing the problems, the government indemnified the companies from prosecution while establishing the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to which parents could turn for recovery of damages. So far, over $5 billion has been paid to the parents of children proved to have been brain-damaged from vaccines. Contrast that to the CDC claim of ‘safe and effective.’

“The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System was established for parents to report to the government any adverse events after vaccination, but most parents know nothing of it. According to HHS (U.S. Health and Human Services), 99% of vaccine injuries and adverse events are not recorded. HHS broke the law by not submitting vaccine safety reports to Congress for over 30 years! (Children's Health Defense, Feb. 28, 2020) (Note: Children's Health Defense is one of the biggest providers of misinformation about vaccinations. A more accurate detailing of vaccine injures can be found in this article.)

“When a new drug is submitted for approval to the FDA, it has to go through a series of tests, including double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. It is tested in a group of people where neither the tester nor the patient (double-blind) knows if the drug or an inert substance (placebo) is being given. Not a single childhood vaccine was subjected to a double-blind, placebo-controlled safety study!

“It is important to note that drug safety studies are made on materials that are INGESTED, while the ingredients in vaccines are INJECTED, and the body treats these in a very different way. Ingested materials pass through the enterohepatic circulation, which allows our liver to remove toxins before they can become injurious to us, while injected substances by-pass this system completely. This makes knowing the ingredients of any vaccine especially important. Always ask for a copy of the package insert for any vaccine. You might be shocked to see what is included. Many include aborted fetal tissue, formaldehyde, mercury or aluminum. The World Health Organization had its two-day Global Vaccine Safety Summit in December 2019. They concluded that 1) vaccines can be fatal, 2) the design of safety studies makes it difficult to spot problems, 3) safety monitoring is inadequate, and 4) vaccine adjuvants (such as aluminum) increase risk. (Note: No one at that summit made the statements Emery is claiming. What they did say was that there were greater risks in countries that did not have good safety monitoring systems.)

“Dr. Christopher Exley has found large amounts of aluminum in the brains of children and adults with autism who died of various causes. Go to "dr exley aluminum" for details. Also look up "Stephanie Seneff and aluminum". She is a senior research scientist at MIT. We truly have an epidemic of autism in America today. The rate has ballooned by 27,000% from the first estimates to 1-in-36 today. It is predicted that by 2035 it will be 1-in-2! The autism rate shot up in 1987, the same year that all of the extra vaccines were added to the schedule. (Note: Dr. Exley's "research," while touted heavily in anti-vaccine circles, is so out of the mainstream that he has recently resorted, unsuccessfully, to raising money for his research through a GoFundMe campaign.)

“Many physicians have become alarmed over the rising numbers of infants who receive a vaccine and then begin to regress in their development, e.g. they stop talking, or they stop making eye contact. Parents are nearly always told that this is only a ‘coincidence,’ and not possibly caused by the vaccine. Studies are proving otherwise.

“Dr. Paul Thomas, a pediatrician in Oregon, has a large practice and was one of the doctors who became alarmed over these increasingly frequent developmental regressions in children. He began studying all children in his practice for decades for illnesses, trips to the ER, and rates of autism. He noted that fully-vaccinated ones had an autism rate of 1-in-39, the national rate at the time. But, he found that those who had received no vaccinations or those whose parents had chosen to follow his amended vaccination plan had NONE. (Note: Perhaps this was written prior to the Oregon Medical Board suspending Dr. Thomas' license earlier this month.

“Resources for reliable information include: Dr. Thomas' book, ‘The Vaccine-Friendly Plan;’ Children's Health Defense, run by JFK's nephew, attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; and the National Vaccine Information Center. An excellent site online is The Truth About Vaccines, which will chronicle the comparison of the vaxxed vs unvaxxed kids.

“For a list of vaccine ingredients, search online for Vaccine Excipient Summary. An excellent source to keep parents up to date can be found by searching for Stop Mandatory Vaccination, which will inform parents on the important differences in the permanent natural immunity from exposure to pathogens vs the temporary immunity from vaccines. Typically, from 75-95% of cases of measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough and influenza have been in vaccinated individuals. ( Richard Moskowitz, M.D. in “The Jig is Up," Feb. 25, 2020)

“There is rightfully concern over any new COVID-19 vaccines, which the mainstream and the federal government would have you believe will be the answer to the COVID problem. Interestingly, hydroxychloroquine has been shown to be nearly 100% effective when used with azithromycin and zinc in combination. And it's safe, as shown by 60 years of use. The fact that those in positions of authority (especially those with vested interests in vaccines) have done all they can to discourage its use should be a huge red flag!

“No successful vaccine was ever produced for H1N1, SARS, MERS or AIDS. What about the flu vaccine? High Fudenberg, M.D. who has over 800 papers published in peer-reviewed journals reports that if an individual had five consecutive annual flu shots between the years 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) the chance of getting Alzheimer's disease was 10 time higher than having gotten two or fewer. Your best defense is a healthy immune system. Eat well, drink filtered water, get enough sleep, exercise, take zinc 50 mg per day, vitamin C 1,000 mg per day, vitamin D3 5,000 IU per day and vitamin K2 to help absorb the D3. Stay healthy.”

I found Dr. Jones’ information to be compelling. I encourage everyone to do their own research when considering how to proceed with any vaccine, including the new products developed to combat the coronavirus.

(A final note: Apparently, during all of his research Ed Emery was unable to unearth any information proving that vaccines, for the most part, are safe and effective. Term limits can be a blessing.)
