But two of Australia’s most extreme anti-vaccine campaigners are behind the Chase Walker Steven story, claiming he is vaccine-injured and turning him into a poster boy for the movement.

Four-year-old Chase, who suffers from spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy as a ­result of epileptic seizures that began shortly after birth, became the subject of a two-state police search last week as his parents fled with him from a Queensland hospital.

They took refuge at the Church of Ubuntu, a “wellness centre” in Newcastle that prescribes medicinal cannabis.

Chase is under the care of Andrew Katelaris, a doctor deregistered in 2005 for growing and supplying cannabis. Katelaris is also the subject of a current order by the Health Care Complaints Commission after he injected huge doses of cannabis oil into two women with ovarian cancer. One patient died.

The child’s self-appointed advocate is well known anti-vaccine campaigner, herb grower and conspiracy theorist Graeme Little, also known as Peter Little, who was with the family last week in Lady Cilento Hospital when the ­arranged appointment with a paediatrician turned sour and the family fled the hospital, then the state.

Chase’s Vaccine Injury- Facts The Biased Mainstream Media Doesn’t Want You To Know

Vaccine Spruiker and propagandist extraordinaire, Jane Hansen, a Newscorp ‘journalist’ has once again unleashed her ferocious claws. This time, her targets were the parents of a 4-year old boy named Chase who suffers from hypertonic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

Hansen’s mediocre reporting leads readers on a trail of manipulated lies and half-truths in a desperate attempt to shift the public’s perception away from the reality of vaccine injury.  Her article falsely claims that Chase’s parents were manipulated by a “conspiracy theorist” named Peter Little (former solicitor and current advocate for the victims of vaccine injury) and a deregistered doctor named Andrew Katelaris, into believing their son’s condition was caused by vaccination. However, some basic research will show Hansen’s deliberate deceit.

Jacinta Walker, known as Cini and Marc Stevens welcomed their son Chase into the world in August 2012. Life started off a little rocky for this much-loved boy with delivery room complications and meconium (the baby’s first faeces) being found in his oesophagus. His Apgar scores (a quick method used to summarise the health of a newborn child) however were 8 at 1 minute, 9 at 5 minutes and 10/10 at the 10 minute mark of life, indicating the best possible physical outcome. Shortly thereafter, he was administered the routine vitamin K injection allegedly without his parents’ consent and within two hours of that shot, he started experiencing seizures. Midwives initially dismissed Cini’s concerns but 10 hours later, Chase was rushed off to the special care nursery where his oxygen levels were observed at a low 82%, indicating he was lacking oxygen supply. Within a few hours he developed jaundice and was put in an incubator where he spent the next 4 days.

In order to find out what may have been causing Chase’s seizures, an MRI was performed on day 4 of life, which showed no signs of brain abnormalities. The following day, his medical records indicate he had a 30-second seizure. Despite this, just 1 ½ hours later, Chase was given the hepatitis B vaccine – a shot that is intended to stop infection with hepatitis B virus (which is typically acquired during unsafe sex and by intravenous drug users sharing needles).

His mother believes he may have mistakenly received two doses of this vaccine as there appears to be two records on the same date, on two different pages of his baby book, one of which is crossed off with the word “error” beside it. The word “error” and the date of the entry that had been crossed off, was in a different handwriting to the one that had been placed in the correct section of his baby book. While this does not prove Chase had been given two doses, it does leave some unanswered questions. It is also interesting to note that the Immunisation Register has no record of this vaccine ever being administered.

Chase received a follow-up MRI approximately 2 months later. According to the second scan, Chase’s myelin sheath had stopped growing, something that was not evident in the MRI he had had prior to the hepatitis B vaccine. The myelin sheath is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. When the myelin is damaged, nerve impulses slow down, and the nerve cell begins to wither. Courts in the United States and published research in France have ruled that the hepatitis B vaccine may have been causally related to cases of Multiple Sclerosis, another disease caused by destruction of the myelin sheath.

On the day Chase was administered his first hepatitis B vaccine, he weighed 3.45kg which would indicate according to the FDA, that he may have safely ingested 17.25mcg of aluminium.  However Chase, who was not of good health at the time, was injected with a vaccine containing 250mcg aluminium, 13 times the safe ingestible amount. According to research by Shaw and Tomljenovic  “In the case of aluminum, only *0.25% of dietary aluminum is absorbed, while aluminum hydroxide (the most common form of aluminum used in vaccines) when injected may be absorbed by the body at nearly 100 %.” Effectively, this means Chase would have received injectable aluminium at 400 times higher that what is deemed safe and potentially double if he was incorrectly administered with two doses.

It is also important to note that human brain development is controlled by immune-system signals (i.e. “cytokines”). Activation of the immune system during brain development may cause disruptions in these signals, resulting in brain injury. Aluminum triggers immune activation (specifically interleukin-6) and stimulates Th2 activation, a type of immune activation shown to impair brain development in animal studies.  Given the amount of aluminum (which is a well known neurotoxin) in the hepatitis B vaccine, it may be plausible to believe that this could have lead to the deterioration of Chase’s myelin sheath. This establishes a clear possibility of a causal link between Chase’s hepatitis b vaccination and further seizures – an implication that could indicate his medical team may not have shown due care.

Chase spent his first 4 months of life in the hospital, receiving 7 more vaccinations (containing approx. 955 mcg aluminum) in the process. Cini expressed concerns about reactions he had had but was dismissed so she went on to give him the same set of 7 vaccines at 15 months of age. This was followed by a further 5 vaccines at 20 months of age (containing approx. 725 mcg aluminum, aborted foetal cells which may lead to DNA mutation and polysorbate 80). “Clinical studies have shown [polysorbate 80] to increase the risk of serious side effects (eg, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, heart failure) and death in some cases. It has also been shown to shorten overall survival and/or increase the risk of tumor growth or recurrence in patients with certain types of cancer.” Polysorbate 80 can also cause hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis and when used as a vaccine emulsifier, numerous studies confirm that polysorbate 80 can increase cell permeability, damage and bursting. An article by pediatrician Dr Lawrence Palevsky also suggests that, polysorbate 80 in vaccines may allow other vaccine ingredients (formaldehyde, msg, lactose, yeast, antibiotics, aborted human foteal tissue, bovine serum and more) to enter the brain. He warns, “Polysorbate-80 is used in pharmacology to assist in the delivery of certain drugs or chemotherapeutic agents across the blood-brain-barrier.” It is particularly risky in infants. 

According to a source that interviewed Cini, Chase was hospitalised with seizures after each lot of vaccines. This is noted in his medical records. His health also deteriorated with each lot of vaccines yet doctors continued to advocate that Chase must be immunised. Ironically while claiming Chase suffered seizures with previous vaccines, his medical records note that he is “NOT IMMUNISED”. It is assumed that “NOT IMMUNISED” indicates that he was not up to date with all scheduled vaccines.

A mere 2 months after his last lot of vaccines, Chase was diagnosed with a chest infection and re-admitted to hospital where he spent a week trying to recover in the High Dependency Unit. According to Cini, at this time, doctors told her and Marc that they “…should go home and plan a funeral”. Chase thankfully pulled through but it was here that Cini first started to mistrust the advice of her doctors and together, Marc and Cini decided Chase would have no more vaccines.

Up until this point, Chase had also been receiving all the medical attention deemed appropriate by medical experts. This included seizure medications and a formula fed to Chase via his peg (a button surgically inserted directly into his gut by which he was fed). According to Hansen, Cini and Marc opted for a “natural diet” going against the advice of the doctors who had prescribed a “total nutrition formula” named Nutrini, which boasts the following ingredients:

In her shameful article, Hansen appears to conclude, that a diet of organic pureed foods was more dangerous than the prescribed toxic formula. While on this formula, Chase’s weight skyrocketed to 25kg putting him on the morbidly obese end of the cerebral palsy chart for boys of his age. His parents jokingly called him the Michelin man because he constantly appeared swollen. They also noted that his seizures were exacerbated with consumption of this toxic formula. Given that Chase is also allergic to milk based products, it does not take a bright spark to see that this chemical cocktail with a one-year shelf life, might not be in Chase’s best interests.

At the time, Chase was still on his seizure medication though he was still suffering with up to 100 seizures per day. At this point, Cini and Marc opted to try medicinal cannabis oil after hearing the success other parents had experienced. Within a matter of days, his seizures decreased. Despite the fact that they weaned him off of his pharmaceuticals, Chase’s seizures completely disappeared and to date, Chase’s seizures have reduced down to just 4 per week but he can go up to 50 days seizure free if his bowel movements are regular and his parents can get him to burp. He also started smiling, laughing, attempting to talk, holding his head up, following his mother’s gaze and trying to grasp objects, something his parents observed he had not done since his last lot of vaccines at 20 months of age.

While any sane person might think the hospital would be thrilled at the remarkable improvements in Chase’s health, Cini and Marc instead entered into a bitter custody battle with the Lady Cliento Hospital and the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services. The hospital staff were claiming that Chase was at risk of cardiac arrest because he had lost some weight and was not receiving his prescribed cocktail of toxins via his peg. In order to claim that Chase was underweight, the hospital compared Chase’s weight to that of a regular 4-year old boy. Given Chase was wheelchair bound and peg fed, it would be illogical to believe his weight should be the same as a typically developing boy of his age. When Peter, the child’s advocate and a former lawyer, presented a chart for 4-year old cerebral palsy boys showing that in fact Chase was sitting at about the average weight for his condition, the hospital completely dismissed him. It was the hospitals intent that Chase would return to being fed Nutrini, placed back onto his pharmaceutical medication that caused him to be in a constant catatonic state, vaccinated up to date and no longer receive his life saving medical cannabis oil. As anyone could imagine, Cini and Marc did not accept this and so ensued 9 medical kidnapping attempts and 2 court hearings, both of which ruled in favour of the parents.
