Press Release — NEWPORT BEACH, CA.: PIC Releases Educational Documents Showing Chicken Pox (Varicella) Vaccine Has Not Been Proven Safer Than Chicken Pox

Free educational materials help parents make better informed vaccination decisions

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced two new educational documents, “Varicella (Chicken Pox): What Parents Need to Know” and “Varicella Vaccine: Is It Safer Than Chicken Pox?” The educational materials include key scientific data on the risks of chicken pox as well as the risks of the varicella vaccine, assisting parents in making a more informed risk-benefit calculation for vaccination.

“Now more than ever, parents are motivated to learn more about the risks of childhood infections and their respective vaccines — and they want to know the numbers,” said Dr. Shira Miller Shira Miller, M.D., founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “Although many parents remember from experience that chicken pox is generally benign, as the chicken pox vaccine is required for childcare and school attendance in all states, and with no religious or personal belief exemption in five states including California, we’re pleased to now make available for free a Disease Information Statement and Vaccine Risk Statement for chicken pox.”
Important facts from the Varicella (Chicken Pox) Disease Information Statement (DIS) are as follows:

o More than 96% of new varicella infections are benign and not reported to public health departments.
o Fatal cases of varicella are rare in the United States. Before the introduction of the varicella vaccination program, 1 in 40,000 or 0.003% of varicella cases were fatal.
o Because varicella…

News, NEWPORT BEACH, CA.: PIC States, 'For Normal-Risk Children, the Polio Vaccine is Not Proven Safer Than Polio Infection'

New Educational Materials Provide Important Data on Polio and the Polio Vaccine

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced two new educational documents, “Polio: What Parents Need to Know” and “IPV Vaccine: Is It Safer Than Polio?” Packed with key statistical data on the risk of polio as well as the risk of the IPV (inactivated poliovirus) vaccine, the documents assist parents in making a more informed risk-benefit calculation for vaccination.

“Now more than ever, people have concerns about vaccines on the childhood vaccination schedule, and a question we hear all the time is ‘What about polio?’” said Greg Glaser, general counsel and national coalition director for Physicians for Informed Consent. “These new documents scientifically address this question, so more parents can research the vaccine and decide what’s best for their children.”
The following is a summary of essential facts included in the documents.

Check out the letter my nonprofit organization and I wrote to the UC Regents about their new flu vaccine requirement for all UC students, faculty, and staff.

Breaking News, Newport Beach, CA - Doctors and Scientists Send Cautionary Letter to UC Regents Regarding New Flu Shot Requirement

The Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) letter highlights 7 flu vaccine facts:

1. The flu vaccine increases the risk of contracting a non-flu respiratory illness by 65%.

2. The flu vaccine doesn’t reduce demand on hospitals.

3. The flu vaccine doesn't prevent the spread of the flu.

4. The flu vaccine doesn't reduce deaths from pneumonia and flu.

5. The flu vaccine fails to prevent the flu about 65% of the time.

6. Repeat doses of the flu vaccine increases the risk of flu vaccine failure.

7. The overall benefits of flu vaccines and flu vaccine requirements are not clear.

If these results of the first SARS-CoV-2 antibody study in the USA are correct, then by now 35-60 million people in the USA have already been infected.

COVID-19 Antibody Seroprevalence in Santa Clara County, California Background Addressing COVID-19 is a pressing health and social concern. To date, many epidemic projections and policies addressing COVID-19 have been designed without seroprevalence data to inform epidemic parameters. We measured the seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in Santa Clara County.....

I've been testing some different Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) antibody test kits for use at my clinic. The purpose of these antibody tests is to confer past infection and immunity to Coronavirus, not to diagnose active infection. Antibody tests are also critical to public health departments that wish to do surveillance testing on a population, in order to detect the extent of asymptomatic transmission of an infectious disease. So far, I found the fingerstick blood test the easiest to perform from a patient's perspective, and the one I hope I will be able to offer my patients in the coming weeks. It just requires a little prick of the finger and the collection of a few drops of blood. Many of my patients are already familiar with this type of blood collection for food sensitivity testing, so I know it's possible for patients to do this type of testing at home. Do you want your doctor to offer this Coronavirus home test to you?

Shockingly, Coronavirus antibody test kits for home use are not yet allowed by the FDA.

Love this. Ever since info became available a couple of weeks ago that SARS-COV-2 interferes with hemoglobin function and oxygen transport I have been hoping doctors on the front line would find a way to incorporate hyperbaric oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients as that allows for bypassing hemoglobin and providing direct oxygenation. I used similar helmets on patients when I worked at the UCSD hyperbaric chamber many moons ago.

BTW it’s suspected that hydroxychloroquine may help avoid severe COVID-19 symptoms by blocking SARS-COV-2 interference with hemoglobin function. https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surface_Glycoprotein_Inhibit_Heme_Metabolism_by_Binding_to_Porphyrin/11938173

UChicago Medicine doctors using helmets to treat COVID-19 patients struggling to breathe Doctors at the University of Chicago Medical Center are using a helmet to treat COVID-19 patients who are struggling to breathe.

I ordered similar COVID/SARS-CoV-2 antibody test kits (“for health professionals only, not FDA approved and not for home use”) for my patients about 10 days ago from a US company and they still haven’t shipped. Looks like I may get them quicker if I ask my friends in the U.K. to ship them to me.

Coronavirus antibody testing is the best way to detect asymptomatic past exposure of a population to the infection, and then calculate the true case fatality ratio (as opposed to an assumed case fatality ratio just based on deaths/reported cases). In my opinion, Coronavirus antibody testing, which would also indicate immunity to the infection, should have started months ago in the US, as part of surveillance testing during an epidemic/pandemic.

New York hospitals treating corona patients with VITAMIN C Dr Andrew Weber with Northwell Health said the regimen is based on experimental treatments that were administered in China. Patients get up to 1,500 milligrams up to four times a day.

Did you know that early studies from France indicate that COVID-19 infections can be virologically cured with a commonly used antimalarial drug and an antibiotic?

"Despite its small sample size our survey shows that hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients and its effect is reinforced by azithromycin."

“On January 25, 2019, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Director of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Janet Woodcock released a statement updating the public on large-scale voluntary recalls of various products containing ARBs. Two probable carcinogens had been identified in active pharmaceutical ingredients used by some manufacturers of valsartan, irbesartan, and losartan. The impurities arose during manufacture of the ingredients in two factories located in China and India...”

“...FDA officials believe that U.S. patients have been ingesting ARBs containing carcinogenic impurities for approximately 4 years; they estimate that for every 8000 patients taking the highest dose of an affected product for the full 4 years, one new cancer above the background incidence would be expected.”

All medications have risks, whether due to side effects, overdosing, impurities, or other reasons. Thus, it is of utmost importance that medication use is minimized, whenever possible.

The positive effect of estradiol on the brain (but not Premarin) has previously been demonstrated, and is one of the many reasons why I recommend bioidentical estradiol for the estrogen deficiency that occurs in ALL women due to menopause.

HRT in Early Menopause May Preserve Brain Volume Estrogen replacement therapy in early menopause has been tied to long-term preservation of brain volume in an area responsible for working memory and executive function.

The Low T Secret is Out. My male patients have long known that I regularly prescribe a testosterone therapy alternative to treat suboptimal or Low T in my practice. I have been prescribing this alternative for the past 7 years, to eligible men, with great success. No testosterone creams. No testosterone shots.

Recently, I was honored to be interviewed on testosterone hormone alternatives for the May/June Men's Issue of Ventura Blvd Magazine, and had the opportunity to share my little-known but proven Low T treatment alternative for men.
