| Ineffectiveness and Dangers of Flu Shots
Believing what governments say can be hazardous to your health.
It's even truer from corporate-sponsored studies on the benefits
of their products. Thus, be very leery about the new CSL Ltd.
one on the effectiveness of taking one Swine Flu dose. More to
the point, any Swine Flu shot as, in single or multiple doses,
they're all extremely toxic, dangerous, and must be avoided to
protect human health from the pathogenic onslaught vaccines are
designed to unleash.
CSL is "Australia's leading biopharmaceutical company (and)
the only commercial manufacturer of influenza vaccines in the
Southern Hemisphere." It's currently producing "a pandemic
influenza vaccine called Panvax H1N1 which uses the proven technology
that has enabled us to provide Australia with seasonal flu vaccines
over the last 40 years."
The New England Journal of Medicine published "the welcome
news," claiming to show one shot produced the same immune
response protection as annual flu vaccines. More on their ineffectiveness
and hidden dangers below.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (part
of the US National Institutes of Health) also claims its early
trials and studies confirm one dose provides protection eight
to ten days after inoculation. Again beware - their advice endangers
your health, especially about Swine Flu and the vaccines designed
for it. They advise everyone take them voluntarily. Later, Health
and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius may mandate
them if enough people don't comply, and individual states may
follow suit.
Separating Facts from Government and Industry Disinformation
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), annual flu
shots are advised for "all children from 6 months through
18 years of age," everyone over 50, pregnant women, and individuals
with "long-term health problems" like heart, lung, kidney
or liver disease, HIV/AIDS, other immune system diseases or persons
with weakened immune systems, asthma, diabetes, anemia, certain
muscle or nerve disorders, residents of nursing homes or chronic
care facilities, and certain others.
Warning about "seasonal epidemics," the World Health
Organization's (WHO) advice is much the same, adding that "Seasonal
influenza spreads easily and can sweep through schools, nursing
homes or businesses and towns....The most effective way to prevent
the disease or severe outcomes from the illness is vaccination."
The WHO claims "Among healthy adults, influenza vaccine
can prevent 70% to 90% of influenza-specific illness. Among the
elderly, the vaccine reduces severe illnesses and complications
by up to 60%, and deaths by 80%."
Information below shows WHO claims are false and misleading.
So are the CDC's and NIH's and doubly so for the new Swine Flu
vaccines.
All Vaccines Are Ineffective and Unsafe
Gary Null is a leading health and nutrition expert, author, documentary
filmmaker, founder of the Progressive Radio Network, and syndicated
host of the longest running health program in America, Natural
Living with Gary Null.
On September 18, 2009, he interviewed Dr. Viera Scheibner, "arguably
one of the world's most respected scientists and scholars on vaccine
medical data....Her investigations uncover how the vaccine industrial
complex (and complicit government regulatory bodies produce) pseudo-science
that is fraught with inconsistencies, poorly designed studies,
erroneous interpretations, and conclusions that are patently false"
- by design, not chance.
She calls vaccinations "an illness industry," causing
a "pandemic (of) degenerative diseases (and) behavioral problems."
From her research and writings on vaccine science and history,
she said: "Ever since the turn of the (last) century, medical
journals published dozens and dozens of articles demonstrating
that injecting vaccines (can) cause anaphylaxis, meaning harmful,
inappropriate immunological responses, which is also called sensitization.
(This) increase(s) susceptibility to the disease which the vaccine
is supposed to prevent, and to a host of related and other unrelated
infections."
"We see it in vaccinated children within days, within two
or three weeks. (Most of them) develop runny noses, ear infections,
pneumonitis, (and) bronchiolitis. It is only a matter of degrees,
which indicates immuno-suppression, (not immunity). It indicates
the opposite. So I never use the word immunization because that
is false advertising. It implies that vaccines immunize, which
they don't. The correct term is either vaccination or sensitization."
In addition, "Vaccines (can) damage internal organs, particularly
the pancreas," so everyone vaccinated, including for seasonal
flu, is vulnerable to contracting severe "autoimmune diseases
like diabetes," Addison's Disease, Arthritis, Asthma, Guillian-Barre
Syndrome, Hepatitis, Lou Gehrig's Disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis,
Osteoporosis, Polio, and dozens of others.
Some can kill. Others produce a lifetime of disability and pain
because autoimmune disease happens when the "body attacks
itself," or more accurately "is attacked" by an
unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and various harmful ingestible substances;
that is, toxins in drugs, food, air, water, and other liquids.
According to immunologist, Dr. Jesse Stoff, human health is compromised
four ways:
-- by poor nutrition;
-- man-made environmental toxins;
-- disease-causing organisms and their toxins; and
-- immune system trauma from factors like x-ray radiation and
stress.
Other factors include a lack of sleep and exercise, smoking,
heavy alcohol consumption, and various excesses that throw the
body out of balance, making it susceptible to a host of debilitating
illnesses.
Known Toxins in Seasonal Flu and Other Vaccines
Millions voluntarily take annual flu shots not knowing their harmful
ingredients. With variations by producer, they contain numerous
stabilizers, neutralizers, carrying agents, and preservatives,
including:
-- 25 micrograms of mercury (thimerosal), a known neurotoxin;
one microgram is considered toxic; according to the NIH, "mercury
and all of its compounds are toxic, exposure to excessive levels
can permanently damage or fatally injure the brain and kidneys;"
even "exposures to very small amounts" can also cause
"allergic reactions, neurological damage and death;"
it's also linked to autism;
-- aluminum hydroxide and phosphate, known to be linked to some
neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; the
Office of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
reports x-ray evidence of pulmonary fibrosis among workers studied;
it also reports that patients undergoing long-term kidney dialysis
develop speech disorders, dementia, or convulsions;
-- formaldehyde, a known carcinogen according to the National
Cancer Institute; it's also linked to upper respiratory tract
problems and effects on lymphatic and hematopoietic systems (relating
to human blood cells);
-- gelatin, polysorbate 80 and resin - ingredients causing severe
allergic reactions;
-- ammonium sulfate, a suspected gastrointestinal, liver, and
respiratory toxicant and neurotoxicant;
-- sorbitol, a suspected gastrointestinal and liver toxicant;
-- phenoxyethanol (antifreeze), a suspected developmental and
reproductive toxicant;
-- beta-propiolactone, a known carcinogen and suspected gastrointestinal,
liver, respiratory, skin and sense organ toxicant;
-- gentamycin, an antibiotic;
-- triton X100, a strong detergent;
-- animal tissues and fluids, including potentially contaminated
horse blood, rabbit brain, dog kidney, monkey kidney, chick embryo,
chicken egg, duck egg, pig blood, and porcine (pig) protein/tissue;
-- calf and fetal bovine serum;
-- macerated cancer cells;
-- diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue; and/or
-- other ingredients varying by producer.
Contrary to industry and government agency advice, annual flu
shots are dangerous and ineffective. According to Croft Woodruff,
president of the EDTA Chelation Association of British Columbia:
"Statistically, you'd be more likely to avoid the flu if
you took nothing at all. So why are we subjected to the flu vaccine
media blitz each year?" In a word, profits assured annually
as long as enough people take them - for all vaccines (besides
the enormous bonanza from the Swine Flu vaccines), billions of
dollars in annual revenues, according to leading producer estimates.
On September 29, Wall Street Journal writers Jonathan Rockoff
and Peter Loftus explained that the industry believes vaccines:
"will become an increasingly important source of growth to
replace aging blockbusters that are poised to lose patent protection.
Vaccine sales are growing faster than sales of other prescription
medicines and are largely immune to the generic competition that
is already cost drug makers billions of dollars in revenues on
their top-selling treatments. Moreover, government agencies both
in the US and around the world are increasingly reliable buyers
of vaccines as they seek to stockpile medicines that could help
protect the public in case of a major flu outbreak."
Or perhaps, in the case of Swine Flu, infect it as part of a
sinister depopulation scheme through involuntary male and/or female
sterilization and future deadly illnesses while rewarding producers
with hundreds of billions in profits from global inoculations
over the next few years. For what may be planned, it doesn't get
any better than that. As a result, the public is cautioned to
ignore media and official hype and stay safe by refusing all vaccines,
especially the new Swine Flu ones that may, in fact, be bioweapons.
More Disclaimers about Flu Vaccine
Effectiveness and the Truth about Their Dangers
First the worst news. Annual flu shots may induce one or more
of the above-mentioned annoying to life-threatening autoimmune
diseases, including severe allergies, diabetes, and the Guillan-Barre
Syndrome (GBS) nerve disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness,
paralysis, and at times death. They can also cause encephalitis,
an acute inflammation of the brain; various neurological disorders;
and thrombocytopenia, a serious blood disorder.
Now the bad news. Annual flu shots don't work, except to enhance
producer profits, which is why the industry, complicit regulatory
bodies, and the media tell unsuspecting people to take them.
Each year, government health agencies guess which viral strain(s)
are most worrisome. Usually they're wrong. For example, New York
Times writer Lawrence Altman headlined his January 15, 2004 article,
"Vaccine Is Said to Fail to Protect Against Flu Strain"
in reporting that the CDC said its most recent recommended flu
vaccine had "no or low effectiveness" against that season's
Fujian threat, based on study results from its first ever health
providers survey. Other studies report similar findings, and so
do reliable scientists from their research.
The Lancet reported that a 2008 study on "immunocompetent
elderly people aged 65 - 94 years enrolled in Group Health (a
health maintenance organisation) during 2000, 2001, and 2002"
found that "influenza vaccination was not associated with
a reduced risk of community-acquired pneumonia during the influenza
season." Influenza predisposes individuals to contracting
pneumonia.
In understated terms, the prestigious medical journal concluded
that "The effect of influenza vaccination on the risk of
pneumonia in elderly people during the influenza seasons might
be less than previously estimated." Yet doctors keep recommending
them based on misleading industry and government information.
In October 2007, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, National Institutes of Health reported on the "mortality
benefits of influenza vaccination in elderly people: an ongoing
controversy" and concluded: "frailty selection bias
and use of non-specific endpoints such as all-cause mortality
have led cohort studies to greatly exaggerate vaccine benefits.
The remaining evidence base is currently insufficient to indicate
the magnitude of the mortality benefit, if any, that elderly people
derive from the vaccination programme."
On May 1, 2003, The New England Journal of Medicine reported
on the largest ever study to determine the effectiveness of pneumococcal
pneumonia vaccine inoculations - based on medical data for 47,365
people aged 65 or older from 1998 - 2001. It found no significant
association between vaccination and a reduced pneumonia risk in
concluding: "alternative strategies are needed to prevent
nonbacteremic pneumonia, which is a more common manifestation
of pneumococcal infection in elderly persons." In other words,
flu shots don't work, so why take them.
An October 2008 published study in the Archives of Pediatric
& Adolescent Medicine had similar conclusions based on doctor
visits during the two most recent flu seasons. It reported:
"In 2 seasons with suboptimal antigenic match between vaccines
and circulating strains, we could not demonstrate VE in preventing
influenza-related inpatient/ED or outpatient visits in children
younger than 5 years. Further study is needed during years with
good vaccine match."
In September 2008, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical
Care Medicine reported that the Department of Public Health Sciences,
School of Public Health, University of Alberta concluded as follows
from "clinical, laboratory, and functional data" collected
on 1,813 adults "with community-acquired pneumonia admitted
to six hospitals outside of influenza season" in Alberta:
"mortality benefits of influenza vaccination" are "overestimated"
even though the population inoculated increased from 15% in 1980
to 65% in 2008.
In the October 2006 British Medical Journal, Dr. Tom Jefferson
wrote about "Influenza vaccination: policy versus evidence"
and concluded: "Evidence from systematic reviews shows that
inactivated vaccines have little or no effect on the effects measured.
(In addition), Little comparative evidence exists on the safety
of these vaccines....The optimistic and confident tone of some
predictions of viral circulation and the impact of inactivated
vaccines, which are at odds with the evidence, is striking. The
reasons are probably complex and may involve a messy blend of
truth and conflicts of interest making it difficult to separate
factual disputes from value disputes."
In other words, influenza vaccination programs are
ineffective and worthless. They're also dangerous.
In 2006, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews reported
on an Oxford University, Institute of Health Sciences examination
of "Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children"
and concluded from the results of 51 studies involving 263,987
subjects aged 23 months to six years that vaccines are little
more effective than placebos. It added that:
"If immunisation in children is to be recommended as a public-health
policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes and directly
comparing vaccine types are urgently needed."
FDA-Approved Swine Flu (H1N1) Vaccines
On September 15, the FDA:
"announced today that it has approved four vaccines against
the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. The vaccines will be distributed
nationally after the initial lots become available, which is expected
to be within the next four weeks....Based on preliminary data
from adults participating in multiple clinical trials, the 2009
H1N1 vaccines induce a robust immune response in most health adults
eight to 10 days after a single dose, as occurs with the seasonal
influenza vaccine."
The FDA warned that "People with severe or life-threatening
allergies to chicken eggs, or to any other substance in the vaccine,
should not be vaccinated."
Approved US vaccines are produced by CSL Ltd., Novartis Vaccines
and Diagnostics Ltd., Sanofi Pasteur (a division of Sanofi-Aventis
Group), and AstraZeneca's MedImmune LLC. According to the FDA,
"All four firms manufacture the H1N1 vaccines using the same
processes, which have a long record of producing safe seasonal
influenza vaccines."
Meanwhile, other governments have placed large orders for Baxter's
CELVAPAN A/H1N1 vaccine, Novavax's VLP, and GlaxoSmithKline PLC's
versions to assure all the major vaccine producers share in the
enormous profit bonanza.
Sanofi Pasteur's vaccine proved ineffective with one shot, and
Medscape Medical News reported that while it will have fewer side
effects it may not protect against the 2009 H1N1 strain.
Novartis' version contains its proprietary squalene adjuvant
MF59, linked to annoying to potentially deadly autoimmune and
other diseases, including paralysis, autism, Alzheimer's disease,
and Gulf War Syndrome. Glaxo's ASO3 poses the same risks and will
be available in America through CSL Ltd.'s vaccine.
Squalene in vaccines has been secretly used for years, but according
to Dr. Rima Laibow, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions
Foundation: "Never before has (it) been (officially) approved
for use in a drug in the United States. But once before, when
it was allowed in certain military vaccines, more than 60,000
soldiers were hospitalized (by what became) known as 'Gulf War
Syndrome.' (In Doe v. Rumsfeld, a) Federal Court in 2004, forbade
its involuntary use by United States troops."
"This new (Swine Flu) vaccine has, literally, 1,000,000
time more squalene than the experimental military vaccine, known
as 'Vaccine A.' The attempt to rush this dangerous vaccine into
the bodies of the public without safety testing is a violation
of US law, regulation and medical ethics and must be condemned."
Glaxo (GSK) will distribute CSL Ltd.'s vaccine with its own proprietary
high potency squalene adjuvant MPL (monophosphoryl lipid A) system
ASO3 that exponentially enhances its dangers as Dr. Laibow explained.
After being linked to Gulf War Syndrome, Army scientists concluded
from over two dozen post-war animal studies that nanodoses dangerously
compromise the human immune system and may also kill.
MedImmune says it FluMist is a "gentle nasal mist. It's
a quick spray in each nostril, one of the places where the flu
virus enters the body. (It) helps your body develop proteins called
antibodies that help protect you from the flu."
Dr. Rima Laibow calls FluMist a "recipe for pandemic. (It)
contains 3 live viruses. You shoot it up your nose and your immune
system gets a chance to make antibodies to three live, weakened
viruses while the manufacturer hopes against hope that one of
these three actually causes a disease this year....Of course,
if you are immune compromised or go near someone who is, you will
get sick or infect them with the virus and they can get the flu."
Laibow and others also warn that Flu Mist risks potential brain
damage, making it an extremely hazardous drug. The nasal passage
olfactory tract is a direct pathway to the brain.
Ingesting viruses through it risks encephalitis, a viral-induced
acute brain inflammation.
British geneticist and bilphysicist Dr. Mae-Wan and biologist
Joe Cummins add that: "Vaccines can be dangerous, especially
live, attenuated viral vaccines or the new recombinant nucleic
acid vaccines, that have the potential to generate virulent viruses
by recombination and the recombinant nucleic acids could cause
autoimmune diseases."
According to Medimmune, "FluMist is a (nasal administered)
vaccine approved for the prevention of certain types of influenza
disease in children, adolescents, and adults 2 - 49 years of age,"
except for:
-- children and adolescents regularly taking aspirin or products
containing it; or persons with certain:
-- sensitivities,
-- health problems,
-- illnesses,
-- malignancies,
-- immunodeficiencies,
-- nutritional deficiencies,
-- abnormalities,
-- allergies, or
-- infections - categories applying to the majority of the population,
including many in it unaware it means them.
MedImmune's product information states: "Administration
of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine Live, Intranasal,
a live virus vaccine, to immunocompromised persons should be based
on careful consideration of potential benefits and risks. Safety
has not been established in individuals with underlying medical
conditions predisposing them to wild-type influenza infection
complications."
"Appropriate medical treatment and supervision must be available
to manage possible anaphylactic (life-threatening allergic) reactions
following administration of the vaccine....Hypersensitivity, including
anaphylactic reaction, has been reported during post-marketing
experience with FluMist....Intranasal may not protect all individuals
receiving the vaccine."
Each producer lists numerous adverse reactions to its vaccines.
Those MedImmune reported included:
-- "Congenital, familial and genetic disorder: Exacerbation
of symptoms of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (Leigh syndrome);
-- Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea;
-- Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions (including
anaphylactic reaction, facial edema and urticaria);
-- Nervous system disorders: Guillain-Barre syndrome, Bell's Palsy;
-- Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: Epistaxis;"
and
-- "Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Rash."
The FDA has not approved nasal vaccine sprays for children under
two, adults over 49, or pregnant women. Product instructions also
warn that: "FluMist recipients should avoid close contact
with immunocompromised individuals for at least 21 days,"
that should include health care workers but it doesn't. It suggests
the likelihood that the vaccine's live virus will spread among
immune-weakened hospital patients and elsewhere through close
contact with their providers.
In their article titled, Vaccines' Dark Inferno, Gary Null and
Richard Gale warn that: "The vast majority of scientists,
physicians, nurses and public health educators' trust that the
ingredients in a vaccine have been individually and synergistically
proven safe and effective." So do most people, even though
commonly held beliefs are wrong, including by professionals who
should know better. Because they don't, their patients' are endangered
by the array of above toxins that in combination with new ones
can trigger "a pandemic of Vaccine Disease, manifesting in
myriad illnesses (including the new H1N1) dependent upon each
vaccinated person's genetic predisposition and the robustness
of (their) immune system(s to withstand) any epidemic threat posed
by wild infectious pathogens (that) could unfold in so-called
developed, hygienic society."
Since most governments sacrifice human health for business profits,
who are the guardians to protect us from the coming pathogenic
onslaught that may weaken or destroy the immune systems of millions
of unsuspecting people, and likely sterilize and/or kill them.
Something to consider before submitting to dangerous vaccines
that everyone has a legal, ethical and for many a medical right
to refuse.
