There are pro's and con's all the way on this Vaccine hype..
I for one, have decided that neither me or my children will have this smudge of Untested unsafe experimental drug.
Rush testing a vaccine before injecting the masses with a substance which is proven to contain live flu virus and mercury, is out of this world.
The fact that there are mercury in it alone is a reason for not take it, some may argue ofcourse 'mercury is okey in small doses' , I say no, heavy
metals of any dose is bad for your brain for starters, and it never leaves your body !
Fast-tracked Swine Flu Vaccine under Fire
A swine flu outbreak occurred in Mexico and the United States in April 2009 and spread rapidly around the world by human-to human transmission. The
new type A H1N1 influenza virus is unlike any that had been previously isolated [1, 2], judging from the first data released in May. It is a messy
combination of sequences from bird, human and swine flu virus lineages from North America and Eurasia. A senior virologist based in Canberra,
Australia, told the press he thought that the virus could have been created in the laboratory and released by accident [3]. Some even suggest it was
made intentionally as a bioweapon [4], while others blame the intensive livestock industry and extensive trafficking of love animals over long
distances, which provide plenty of opportunity for generating exotic recombinants [5]. But what worries the public most is the mass vaccination
programmes governments are putting in place to combat the emerging pandemic, which could well be worse than the pandemic itself.
Watchdog opposes fast-track vaccine for school children
The US government is intending to vaccinate all children in September when school re-opens, and the country’s vaccine watchdog National Vaccine
Information Center (NVIC) has called on the Obama Administration and all state Governors to provide evidence that the move is [6] “necessary and
safe”, demanding “strong mechanisms for vaccine safety screening, recording, monitoring, reporting and vaccine injury compensation.”
The US Departments of Health and Homeland Security had declared a national public health emergency in April soon after the swine flu outbreak. As a
result, some schools were closed, people quarantined, and drug companies were given contracts worth $7billon to make vaccines that are being fast
tracked by the Food and Drugs Administration [7]. That means they will only be tested for a few weeks on several hundred children and adult volunteers
before being given to all school children this fall.
Furthermore, under federal legislation passed by Congress since 2001, an Emergency Use Authorization allows drug companies, health officials and
anyone administering experimental vaccines to Americans during a declared public health emergency to be protected from liability if people get
injured. US Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has granted vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that may result
from any new swine flu vaccine. And some states may make the vaccination mandatory by law.
WHO and mass vaccination fever
The mass vaccination order has come from the World Health Organization (WHO) [8]. In early July 2009, a group of vaccination experts concluded that
the pandemic is unstoppable, and Marie-Paul Kieny, WHO director on vaccine research said all nations will need access to vaccines, and that a vaccine
should be available as early as September.
Critics point out that the ‘vaccination experts’ are dominated by the vaccine makers standing to gain from the enormously lucrative vaccine and
antiviral contracts awarded by governments. But the decisive argument against mass vaccinations is that flu shots simply don’t work and are
dangerous [9].
Flu shots ineffective and increase risks of asthma
There are widely acknowledged reasons why flu vaccines won’t work, as already pointed out with regard to the much touted vaccines against the
‘pandemic bird flu’ that has yet to materialize [10] (How to Stop Bird Flu Instead, SiS 35). The flu virus changes quickly - even without the help
of genetic engineering in the laboratory, and especially with the help of the intensive livestock industry - whereas the vaccines target specific
strains. Furthermore, flu vaccination does not give permanent protection, and must be repeated annually; the vaccines are difficult to mass-produce,
and some strains won’t grow at all under laboratory conditions.
Numerous studies have documented that flu shots give little or no protection against infection and illness, and there is no reason to believe that
swine flu vaccines will be different.
A review of 51 separate studies involving more than 294 000 children found that in children aged from two years, nasal spray vaccines made from
weakened influenza viruses and injected vaccines made from the killed virus prevented 82 and 59 percent of illnesses. The prevention of 'flu-like
illness' caused by other types of viruses was only 33 and 36 percent respectively. In children under the age of two, the efficacy of inactivated
vaccine was similar to placebo. It was not possible to analyse the safety of vaccines from the studies due to the lack of information, and lack of
standardization on the little information available [11]. A report published in 2008 found flu vaccines in young children made no difference in the
number of flu-related doctor and hospital visits [12].
On the other hand, a study of 800 children with asthma found that those receiving a flu vaccine had a significantly increased risk of asthma-related
doctor and emergency room visits [13]; the odds ratios were 3.4 and 1.9 respectively. This was confirmed in a report published in 2009, which showed
children with asthma who received FluMist had a 3-fold increased risk of hospitalization [14]
Flu vaccines are equally useless for adults, including the elderly, giving little or no protection against infection or illnesses including pneumonia
(see [9]).
Swine flu syndromes mostly mild
As of 22 July 2009, the CDC listed a total of 40 617 cases in the US, with 319 fatalities, giving a fatalites/case ratio of 0.8 percent [35]; though
the real death rate – among all cases of infection including the mild ones that go unreported – is probably much lower. Experts estimate that only
1 out of 20 cases are reported [36].
The UK is the worst affected European country, and the pandemic is in the headlines everyday in July. A new telephone helpline was set up on 23 July
to let people get advice and tamiflu without seeing a doctor. In that week, there has been a record rise in cases to 100 000 and a total of 30 deaths
so far [37], giving a fatalities/case ratio of 0.03 percent, a more accurate reflection of the actual death rate.
UK’s chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson has ordered the NHS to plan for as many as 65 000 deaths, with 350 a day at the peak [38]. There has
been no plan as yet for mass vaccination; but the UK government has advance orders for 195 million doses of vaccine with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
The vaccine that GSK is developing will be tested on a limited number of people as the UK drug company reportedly [39] “weighs the pandemic danger
against the risks of an unsafe shot.” This was criticized as “risky” by Prof. Hugh Pennington, a retired microbiologist at the University of
Aberdeen, Scotland. “By limiting clinical trials, Glaxo raises the danger that the vaccine dose isn’t properly calibrated, and could lead to shots
that don’t protect people from the virus or at worse are unsafe,” Pennington said.
Pennington added that the shot’s ability to trigger the body’s defences is crucial and requires tests to determine the best dose and whether an
adjuvant is needed to bolster the immunity. (As we know, GSK is definitely promoting its new range of toxic adjuvants.) He also referred to the Fort
Dix incident in 1976 (see earlier).
There are lots of people walking away from this flu, both with or without Tamiflu, some deaths on both sides, most on the Tamiflu side, but the
difference, when you have had the Flu without any Med's, you have Not added More mercury to your body....Huge difference Imo ..
