Thus two of the four cases I presented suffered prolonged, severe relapses
of their chronic state after a vaccination, one patient suffered almost
identical relapses after two different vaccines, and all four first
developed their chief complaint during their initial three-dose vaccine
series. In no case were their responses acute or obvious enough to be
identified as a repeatable symptom of the vaccine. Indeed, all that was
repeatable in all cases and with all the vaccines was simply the chronicity
of the responses, the fact that they occurred more frequently, persisted
for longer periods of time, and were less likely to resolve spontaneously.

It is just this congruence between the vaccine-related responses and the
original illness that suggests how vaccines act nonspecifically on the
immune system as a whole, and so implicates vaccination in the basic riddle
of chronicity itself. As new biotechnology companies produce new
genetically-engineered vaccines as fast as possible, the unrestricted war
against identifiable acute diseases has already added to the pre-existing
chronic disease burden a considerable array of DNA and RNA fragments
looking for chromosomes to recombine with and certain to engender new
diseases of which as yet we know nothing. In short, I am afraid that
doctors, like politicians, are here to stay.
