Nasal swine flu vaccine recalled over potency

2009-12-23T09:44:00.000-08:00

Washington - Drugmaker MedImmune is recalling nearly 5 million doses of swine flu vaccine because the nasal spray appears to lose strength over time, federal health officials announced Tuesday.

The vaccine recall is the second this month caused by declining potency and comes as public health officials urge millions of Americans to get vaccinated against swine flu.

The action affects more than 4.6 million doses, but the vast majority have already been used, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Agency officials said the vaccine was strong enough when it was distributed in October and November.

"The slight decrease in potency is not expected to have any effect on the protective effect of the vaccine," said Norman Baylor, director of the FDA's vaccine research office. "We are not recommending revaccination."

The agency is looking into the problem but said it's not uncommon for vaccines to lose strength over time. MedImmune's vaccine has a recommended shelf life of about four months. The company has about 3,000 doses in its warehouses but does not know how many remain in the field, according to the FDA.

Last week, vaccine maker Sanofi Pasteur recalled hundreds of thousands of swine flu shots for children because tests indicated those doses lost some strength. Most of those doses had already been used, too.

Maryland-based MedImmune, a subsidiary of London-based AstraZeneca PLC, voluntarily recalled 13 lots of its vaccine, "due to a slight decrease in potency" discovered through routine quality control testing, said spokesman Tor Constantino.

"It's not a safety concern. People who have received doses from the affected lots do not need to be revaccinated. The doses were well within potency specification," he said.

Swine flu vaccine has been available since early October, and since then manufacturers have released over 111 million doses for distribution in the U.S. MedImmune makes the only nasal spray version, which can be used by healthy people ages 2 to 49.

Only in recent weeks have state authorities lifted restrictions on who can get vaccinated. Previously the vaccines were reserved for high-risk patients, including pregnant women and schoolchildren.

In a telephone news conference on Tuesday, Dr. Anne Schuchat of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 60 million Americans have received swine flu vaccine, and said intense monitoring for side effects has not turned up any safety concerns.

"We are not seeing any worrisome signs," she said.

The vaccine supply has increased so much in recent weeks that she urged parents of children 10 and younger to get them a second dose, because studies show this age group needs two for optimal protection.

Flu activity has slowed, but "it's not gone," Schuchat said. "None of us know what the weeks and months ahead will bring in terms of influenza activity, and it's very important not to become complacent."

The first wave of the swine flu pandemic began in April, when the strain was discovered. A larger wave started in the late summer and is declining. Infections are now widespread in 11 states, down from 48 in late October.

A new Harvard poll released Tuesday finds that concern about swine flu has waned along with the number of new cases being reported.

Only 40 percent of people now say they are concerned that they or a family member will get sick from swine flu during the next year. That's down from an earlier poll in September, when 52 percent said they were worried about swine flu.

The new poll found that most parents who sought vaccine for their children were able to get it. However, more than one-third of respondents said they did not plan to seek it for their kids.

The Harvard School of Public Health polled more than 1,600 adults on Dec. 16 and 17.

Also on Tuesday, a 13-year-old dog in suburban New York was confirmed as the first known case of swine flu in a dog. The pet apparently caught the virus from his owner. The CDC's Schuchat said that animals can carry and spread flu viruses, but such cases are rare and people should not be afraid to enjoy their pets. A few cats and ferrets have also been diagnosed with swine flu.

WHO’s annual budget for 2010

2009-12-22T15:07:00.000-08:00

The WHO’s annual budget for 2010 will be almost $5 billion with 81 % of the funding -- or $4 billion --coming from voluntary contributions from pharmaceutical companies, foundations and other donors, according to a WHO draft budget, available on the website of the Rockefeller affiliated think-tank, the Council of Foreign Relations.

http://www.cfr.org/publication/20003/world_health_organization.html

A table on page 13 of the document, which is called "Draft proposed programme budget for 2010-2011",reveals that the proportion of funding that WHO gets from voluntary contributions has been rising steadily from 71% in 2006-2007 to 77.3% in 2008-2009 to 81% in 2010-2011.

Total funding in 2006-2007 was just over US$ 3 billion.

http://www.paho.org/english/gov/cd/cd48-whobpb-e.pdf

WHO appears reluctant to release a copy of its actual annual budget. A WHO employee working in the publications department in Geneva said that it was a "very internal document“ and not every one was entitled to see it.

I have emailed the WHO publications department and requested a copy.

The gigantic and growing amounts of funding that WHO receives from pharmaceutical corporations and private foundations is bound to raise questions about the influence that these entities exercised on WHO’s declaration of a pandemic level 6 emergency this June.

The CFR website also reveals that "some“ delegates of the the World Health Assembly (WHA), which acts as WHO's governing body, did not want to declare a pandemic emergency level 6 over the mild swine flu.

“It took nearly two months of lobbying and a three-day emergency session to get enough members on board for the pandemic declaration,” says the CFR website.

It is not clear who was doing the lobbying to persuade WHA members to agree to a pandemic level 6 declaration.

It is not clear whether pharmaceutical company representatives participated in this three-day emergency session.

WHO has refused to give the names of 18 members of a key secret committee that played a key role in the pandemic emergency declaration. Therefore, it is not possible to assess how many have ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

It is, however, known that at least 7 members of a key vaccine advisory board, SAGE, have financial links to pharmaceutical companies, raising fears of conflicts of interest.

Also, dozens of pharmaceutical executives were present allegedly as "observers“ at a meeting of Sage in July. WHO refused to release the minutes of this meeting, reinforcing the impression that WHO is engaged inc concealing the influential role of pharmaceutical companies in its decision-making process.

Given the substantial contributions for the private sector, it is legitimate to ask whether the pharmaceutical companies and allied foundations leveraged their financial clout to push through a pandemic level 6 declaration over the mild swine flu so ensuring themselves windfall profits from pre negotiated contracts with governments for vaccines.

The CFR website also states the International Health Regulations are “a legally binding policy for infectious diseases for all WHO member countries.”

“In 1995, the WHO began revising the International Health Regulations (PDF), a legally binding policy for infectious diseases for all WHO member countries.”

This will raise fears of whether private corporations controlling WHO have also gained control of key functions of national governments in the event of a pandemic declaration.

In addition, the CFR says that the "World Bank and International Monetary Fund have a growing influence on population health that outweighs WHO's.“

What kind of an influence do these banks have since they are known for their predatory approach, and for slashing health programmes as a condition of funding?

"The 2005 Global Health Watch report found that "transnational corporations and other global institutions--particularly the World Bank and International Monetary Fund--have a growing influence on population health that outweighs WHO's" and "some of these institutions, the Bank in particular, now operate in direct competition with WHO."

Furthermore, the significant influence of the eugenicist Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on global health is referred to.

Extracts from the CFR website:

http://www.cfr.org/publication/20003/world_health_organization.html

The WHO's estimated budget (PDF) is $4.9 billion for 2010, more than $1 billion of which is allocated for "partnerships and collaborative arrangements," such as the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI). Another $2.2 billion is targeted at combating HIV/AIDS ($731 million) and infectious diseases ($1.5 billion). Health experts say funding for the organization is inadequate given the WHO's mandate and that a significant portion of the budget is targeted by donors toward particular programs, similar to the earmarking done by the U.S. Congress.

WHA members finance the WHO with dues based on their individual gross domestic products (GDPs). Garrett says this means, in essence, that countries with the greatest health needs have to listen to the countries with the most money. The 2005 Global Health Watch report says the United States, in particular, uses its funding leverage to continually pressure WHO (PDF) "to steer clear of 'macroeconomics' and 'trade issues' that it says are outside its scope, and to avoid such terminology as 'the right to health.'"

Since the organization was created, the number of global health bodies has ballooned, including those within the UN framework like UNAIDS and UNICEF, numerous HIV/AIDS programs, large private entities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and nongovernmental organizations such as Doctors without Borders. Experts say the rise of these other organizations, especially those with vastly more resources, is testing the WHO's leadership role. "It's chaos," CFR's Garrett says, adding that WHO's job is sometimes akin to "corralling kittens." The 2005 Global Health Watch report found that "transnational corporations and other global institutions--particularly the World Bank and International Monetary Fund--have a growing influence on population health that outweighs WHO's" and "some of these institutions, the Bank in particular, now operate in direct competition with WHO."

The WHO's funding is overshadowed by that of newly emerging organizations, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and PEPFAR (the U.S. President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief). The Centers for Diseases Control (CDC), for example, has nearly twice the budget (PDF) of the entire WHO. The Gates Foundation's budget for global health (PDF) is around $2 billion per year, about twice the WHO's core budget.

Experts contend that the WHO, challenged though it might be, is still needed. "There is no alternative to the World Health Organization," says the CDC's Scott Dowell. "We all contribute but we will only succeed if the WHO succeeds." A 2008 report from the British parliament points out that the WHO is still extremely influential among middle- and low-income countries, and has an image of being more neutral than U.S.- or British-based organizations. The report suggests WHO's mission statement be revised to specifically give it a mandate of "preparing a strategy for global health governance." Many health experts suggest Geneva should have more control over the WHO's resources for health programs.

New Zealand Campaign Against Swine Flu Vaccine Compel Government To Retreat

2009-12-22T14:55:00.000-08:00

Penny Bright, Brian Dodds and other activists in New Zealand have forced the Health Minister to abandon plans for a mass swine flu vaccination programme.

From: Brian Dodds doddsbr@nmb.quik.co.nz

Hello Ray

Good to hear things are changing. Here in New Zealand my movie together with many other activists stimulated enough emails to the health minister for him change his mind.

He decided not to vaccinate the New Zealand people en masse with the swine flu vaccine. He bought 3 hundred thousand doses of the swine flu vaccine from the Baxter Company, but says he will only use them in case of an emergency pandemic.

He will include the swine flu vaccine from another Company in the seasonal flu in March 2010 and will make it a single vial dose, therefore not containing Mercury. It is doubtful that they will put anything too dangerous in it, as only a small proportion of the population will be inoculated. If people get really sick, it will be obvious that they will be the ones that got vaccinated.

Take care

Regards Brian

Nano Particles used in Untested H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccines

2009-12-22T14:45:00.000-08:00

Part III: ‘It’s the vaccines, Stupid!

by F. William Engdahl

Vaccines which have been approved by the responsible government authorities for vaccination against the alleged H1N1 Influenza A Swine Flu have been found to contain nano particles. Vaccine makers have been experimenting with nanoparticles as a way to "turbo charge" vaccines for several years. Now it has come out that the vaccines approved for use in Germany and other European countries contain nanoparticles in a form that reportedly attacks healthy cells and can be deadly.

In 2007 researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) announced in an article in the journal, Nature Biotechnology, that they had developed a "nanoparticle that can deliver vaccines more effectively, with fewer side effects, and at a fraction of the cost of current vaccine technologies." The article went on to describe the effects of their breakthrough: "At a mere 25 nanometers, these particles are so tiny that once injected, they flow through the skin’s extracellular matrix, making a beeline to the lymph nodes. Within minutes, they’ve reached a concentration of DCs thousands of times greater than in the skin. The immune response can then be extremely strong and effective."

Immunological tests, examinations of bacteriology, virology and tumour markers, bronchoscopy, internal thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery were performed. Surveys of the workplace, clinical observations and examinations of the patients were conducted. Polyacrylate, consisting of nanoparticles, was confirmed in the workplace. Pathological examinations of patients' lung tissue displayed nonspecific pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis and foreign-body granulomas of pleura. Using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticles were observed to lodge in the cytoplasm and caryoplasm of pulmonary epithelial and mesothelial cells, but are also located in the chest fluid. These cases arouse concern that long-term exposure to some nanoparticles without protective measures may be related to serious damage to human lungs."3

There is only one small problem with vaccines containing nanoparticles—they can be deadly and at the least cause severe irreparable health damage.

Nanoparticles, promoted in the mass media as the new wonder revolution of science, are particles that have been produced vastly smaller than deadly asbestos particles which caused severe lung damage and death before being outlawed. Particles at a nano size, (nm = 0,000000001 Meter) fuse together with the membranes of our body cell membranes and, according to recent studies in China and Japan, continuously destroy cells once introduced into the body. Once they interact with the body’s cellular structure, they cannot be removed. Modern medicine euphemistically terms the phenomenon, a continuing infectious reaction.

Since the asbestos scandal, it has been established that particles in size a millionth of a meter, because of their enormous attractive force, penetrate all cells, destroying all those they come into contact with. Nanoparticles are far smaller than asbestos fibers.

Beijing Tests confirm deadly effects on humans

The fact that WHO, the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, the German Robert Koch Institute and other health bodies today would permit the population to be injected with largely untested novel vaccines containing nanoparticles says more about the powerful pharma lobby in Euiropean politics than it does about the sanity or moral integrity of the civil servants responsible for health of the general public.

The September 2009 issue of the respected European Respiratory Journal, made public on 19 August, and available since 21 August online, contains a peer-reviewed article with the title, "Exposure to nanoparticles is related to pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis and granuloma."

The article describes tests carried out in 2008 at the elite Beijing Chaoyang Hospital on seven young women. All seven, ages 18-47 had been exposed to nanoparticles for 5–13 months in their common workplace. All were admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath and pleural effusions, or excessive fluids surrounding the lungs, inhibiting breathing. None of the seven had ever smoked and none were in any special risk group. Doctors carefully tested for every possibility and confirmed that the lung problems had a common origin—regular inhalation of nanoparticles in their factory. They had been exposed to Polyacrylat nanoparticles.

The tests confirmed the nanoparticles had set off a "super-meltdown" reaction in the patients. Despite all heroic efforts of doctors, two of the seven died from the lung complications. 2

In their report, the scientists concluded something so alarming it is necessary to quote at length:

To date Animal studies and in vitro experiments show that nanoparticles can result in lung damage and other toxicity in animals, but no reports on the clinical toxicity in humans due to nanoparticles prior to the Beijing study had been made.

The Beijing Chaoyang Hospital study has now conclusively confirmed that nanoparticles cause lung damage and other toxicity in humans as well. At this point in time, when two of the approved vaccines planned to be mass distributed in Germany and elsewhere contain nanoparticles, failure of the relevant responsible public health and epidemiology officials to order an immediate emergency freeze on distribution of any vaccine containing nanoparticles can only be considered tantamount to criminal negligence. Hopefully the responsible authorities will react in time to avert a possible human health catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than the worst case of Swine Flu reported to date.

Ukraine Flu Cases Top 3 Million - 21 New Deaths

2009-12-21T14:55:00.000-08:00

3,026,007 Influenza/ARI

171,076 Hospitalized

539 Deaths

The above numbers reflect the latest update from Ukraine. There was no report on Friday, so the increase in deaths of 21 represents two days, but weekend numbers are traditionally low, so the majority of the 21 new fatalities were likely to have been from the missing Friday report. Six of the fatalities were in Donetsk, border Russia (see map), while five more were in Kiev or the Kiev oblast. Cases, which now top 3 million, had slowed, but the numbers have surged in the past week and now fatalities are beginning to rise also.

The four fatalities tested by Mill Hill had D225G, while the CDC deposited sequences for two additional cases, which were also likely fatalities, and they both had D225N. The presence of receptor binding domain changes at position 225 raises concerns that the frequency of these cases and association with fatal or severe cases will continue to grow. Recent snow storms have cause major power outages in recent days, which could contribute to more cases and fatalities.

There has also been a recent spike in H274Y in many countries including the United States and Japan, and the increases have included the sub-clade circulating in Ukraine when the initial cases were reported.

Therefore, Ukraine may serve as bell weather for the third wave.

Report: Vaccine Advisers Had Financial Conflicts

2009-12-20T02:10:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON — A new report finds that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did a poor job of screening medical experts for financial conflicts when it hired them to advise the agency on vaccine safety, officials said Thursday.

    Most of the experts who served on advisory panels in 2007 to evaluate vaccines for flu and cervical cancer had potential conflicts that were never resolved, the report said. Some were legally barred from considering the issues but did so anyway.

    In the report, expected to be released Friday, Daniel R. Levinson, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, found that the centers failed nearly every time to ensure that the experts adequately filled out forms confirming they were not being paid by companies with an interest in their decisions.

    The report found that 64 percent of the advisers had potential conflicts of interest that were never identified or were left unresolved by the centers. Thirteen percent failed to have an appropriate conflicts form on file at the agency at all, which should have barred their participation in the meetings entirely, Mr. Levinson found. And 3 percent voted on matters that ethics officers had already barred them from considering.

WHO refuses to name members of secret committee driving vaccination agenda

2009-12-20T02:06:00.000-08:00

The names of the members of a group that acts as advisers to WHO on the swine flu are a closely kept secret.

The group advocated upgrading the status of the flu from epidemic to pandemic.

Since then, pharmaceutical companies have sold more than 55-billion crowns worth of vaccines, writes the Danish daily news outlet "Information".

WHO relies on a secret group of experts, the so-called Emergency Committee. The organisation consults this Emergency Committee on managing the swine flu.

The committee is at the epicentre of desicion-making and recommended the declaration of a swine flu pandemic to Director General, Margaret Chan.

A recommendation that she implemented on June 11th this year, referring to the group of experts.

This resulted in enormous economic gains for the pharmaceutical industry.

Many member countries – among them, Denmark – have contracts with the big pharma companies and are obliged to buy vaccines when WHO determines that a virus is a pandemic.

The investment bank J.P. Morgan estimates that vaccines and other types of flu medicine amounting to more than 55 billions of crowns have been sold since this declaration.

In spite of the committee’s enormous influence and power, the public is not allowed to learn who the members of the committee actually are.

As a consequence, the public is also denied access to information needed to check whether the members of this group are on the payroll of the pharma industry.

The only information available to the public is that the committee consists of 18 people whom the Director General has selected from WHO’s list of experts.

But such a level of transparency is inadequate according to Peter Goetzsche, who is the leader of the independent research institution, Cochrane, in Copenhagen.

“It is not acceptable that a secret committee gives advice to WHO in a matter of such importance. There needs to be complete transparency over who they are and what conflicts of interests the committee may have. If this is not the case, people cannot have confidence in what is going on,” says Peter Goetzsche.

According to earlier information, WHO has members in it’s groups of consultants who are on the payroll of the pharma industry.

Peter Goetzsche fears that this could also be the case with the Emergency Committee.

“That committee possesses enormous power. And yet we don’t know whether those people who are sitting on it receive money from or have stocks in those firms which produce the vaccines,” says Peter Goetzsche.

Managing director of Danish Board of Health, Jesper Fisker, agrees.

"It is unnacceptable that we cannot see who the members of the committee actually are and consequently cannot see what interests are represented. It has to be part of the common ambition of openness and transparency that we can see, what role the committee plays and who the members are,” he says and adds: “The more influential a committee is, the more important it is, that there is transparency. And if they have given advice concerning an important decision – and that seems to be the case – then it is even more important that there is transparency. This simply has to happen.”

INSECURE

Peter Goetzsche's concerns are not eased by the fact that only the leadership of WHO has access to the names of the members of this committee.

“Why should the members not have conflicts of interest? In view of the knowledge we lately have acquired concerning WHO’s use of experts, can expect that some of them have conflicts of interest”.

In November, it was revealed that the official working group, Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE), which advices WHO about vaccines, comprised several members, who receive fees or research support from the pharmaceutical industry.

Since then the Swedish daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet and Information have discovered another three members of this permanent group of consultants who are on the payroll of the companies manufacturing vaccines.

According to Peter Goetzsche, this approach in a powerful organisation is associated with difficulties.

“It is well known from lots of scientific studies that it generates unfortunate decisions when people with interests of conflict are members of advisory groups. And the suspicion that unpleasant things take place grows when you don’t even know what is going on.”

WHO DOES NOT ANSWER

In spite of several calls during the last four days WHO has not agreed on an interview on the secret committee.

But WHO-spokesman Gregory Hartl said the following about the committee to the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet.

“The names of the members of the committee are secret. We don’t want them to be exposed to any kind of pressure from the outside. They have been selected on basis of their expertise and knowledge concerning influenza, the spreading of viruses and control of diseases, says Gregory Hartl.

What kind of pressure are the members risking exposure to?

“I cannot talk about that. But the important thing is, that the committee does not need to show consideration for anything or anybody outside the committee in their consultations with the Director General of WHO”.

Have any of the members of the committee connections to or collaborate with the pharmaceutical industry?”

“I don’t know who the members are. But I think they are controlled concerning ties to the industry.”

Should WHO not be transparent concerning decisions affecting millions of people?

“In the fight against this epidemic you have to collaborate with many partners. That includes governments, non governmental organisations and the pharmaceutical industry. We must find the best solutions to save human lives. To save lives is of utmost importance to us” says Gregory Hartl.

French Health MInister Receives Court Summons Over Mass Swine Flu Vaccinations

2009-12-20T01:59:00.000-08:00

© unknown

Roselyne Bachelot, the French Minister of Health was summoned on Friday last week to attend a hearing at the Superior Court in January as part of legal action to put an end the swine flu mass vaccination campaign launched by lawyers Malika Ouarti (Barreau de Paris) and Jean-Pierre Joseph (Barreau de Grenoble), according to local media reports.

http://www.webtelelibre.levillage.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2096&Itemid=40

The hearing will take place on Monday, January 4 at 9 am at the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Paris.

Bachelot, who worked for at least 12 years in the pharmaceutical industry, has played a key role in planning and executing the mass swine flu vaccination campaign in France.

Specifically, Bachelot was involved in the detailed planning to set up 1,100 special vaccination centers around the country, excluding GPs, for the vaccination of the entire population by the end of January 2010.

Also, she sanctioned a secret contract with pharmaceutical companies, giving them blanket immunity from any legal action in the event of their untested jabs causing death or damage.

Get a Flu Shot, Get a Pizza Party

2009-12-18T10:21:00.000-08:00

The Detroit Health Department is fighting swine flu with pepperoni. When kids return to school after the holiday break, each class has the opportunity to get a free pizza party - if they sign up for the shots.

It's a simple fact--kids don't like vaccinations - even when they can get them in a spray.

Their parents, like Leslie Ethridge however, are often eager to get their kids protected, "Your children get 20 some odd inoculations, this is just another one, so if it's available you should get the shot."

But when Detroit schools - both public and private-- sent home permission slips for students to get H1N1 vaccine at school, the return rate was only about ten percent.

Dr. Walter Davis, Detroit Pandemic Flu Coordinator, told us, "talking to principals and some parents we find that a lot of them are never receiving consent forms."

The Detroit Health Department has already been working especially hard to get the vaccine into the community.

For instance, today parents attending the Christmas program at the Foreign Language Immersion School on Outer Drive had the chance to get shots for themselves and their children before or after the program.

Mom, Kimberley Wallace said, "This is the easiest for me. This way I don't have to take them to the doctor's office, take them out of school or anything so it works out real well."

But apparently not well enough. So Dr. Davis and his team came up with an innovative idea. They teamed up with Happy's Pizza. And each class in the city that has a permission slip return rate of 80-percent or more will get a pizza party for the entire class.

According to Neil Master, Director of Advertising for Happy's Pizza, "Kids love pizza and we love kids in Detroit and we take care of them whenever we can."

And while the kids may sign up for the pizza, the parents need to know it's important to sign the forms because flu season isn't over just because the number of cases have leveled off.

Dr. Davis told us, "With our flu season, the peak is usually in February and it goes into March. I can tell you we will get hit again. We're in December now. In January and February, the flu will increase tremendously."

Another mom, L'Tonya Felder got shots for her children, "I think it's extremely important. It's important that the Detroit community come together and realize this is important for our health for our protection and we're combating the h1n1 as well as the regular seasonal flu."

H1N1 Vaccine Liquidation Sale Now On: Hurry While Supplies Last!

2009-12-18T09:47:00.000-08:00

© wariscrime.com

All of a sudden, H1N1 vaccines are available all across America. Walgreens and other pharmacies are pushing the vaccines as if there were an "everything must go" liquidation sale under way. Hurry, get your swine flu vaccine today before everybody figures out they're useless!

The marketability of vaccines has a strict time limit. They're only in demand during the fear phase of a pandemic, and that fear phase has long since faded for H1N1. Virtually everyone who wants an H1N1 vaccine has already received one, and the rest of the population is beginning to notice something quite curious: People who got the vaccine are no better off than those who skipped it. In fact, there's no difference in mortality between those who were vaccinated and those who weren't, indicating yet again that the swine flu vaccine was a medical hoax to begin with.

If you don't believe me, just ask the potentially hundreds of thousands of parents who gave their children one of the recently recalled H1N1 children's vaccines. These vaccines were recalled because they were found to be so weak that they were medically useless. But observant parents are noticing a curious fact: Children who received the "useless" (recalled) vaccine have been no worse off than those who received a full-strength vaccine.

The strength of the vaccine, in fact, appears to be entirely irrelevant to the health outcomes of children. Vaccine or not, strong or weak, children's reaction to the pandemic has virtually nothing to do with any treatments offered by conventional medicine.

In fact, the greatest determining factor in the health outcomes of children has most likely been their blood levels of vitamin D. But that isn't tracked by medical professionals... nor even prescribed by them. So we'll probably never know the exact correlation between vitamin D and H1N1 prevention.

Millions of useless vaccines

So now we have a situation where the U.S. government has spent billions of dollars acquiring H1N1 vaccines that, by the time they were delivered for consumption, were already irrelevant to public health. Does anybody really believe at this point that swine flu is a deadly pandemic that will kill you if you don't receive a vaccine? You'd have to really look hard to find someone so uninformed (and brainwashed) that they're making the H1N1 vaccine a priority in their life right now.

So what we're going to end up with here is a huge stockpile of H1N1 vaccines that nobody wants. Sure, the pharmacies, clinics and hospitals will try to push as many of them as they can (even offering free vaccines sooner or later, just to get people into their stores), but in the end, they're inevitably going to be sitting on millions of extra doses of vaccine with nowhere to inject them.

There are two solutions for this, from Big Pharma's point of view:

Strategy #1 - Drum up more fear with the aim that it will boost consumer demand for vaccines. This can be accomplished by getting the mainstream media to highlight the few isolated cases of infants or children dying from H1N1 infections (all of whom are almost certainly vitamin D deficient, again).

Strategy #2 - Mandate mass vaccinations. This is unlikely to happen now that H1N1 appears to have fizzled out. The public won't go for mandatory shots unless the situation gets a whole lot worse. Of course, Big Government can always force such mandates upon the public, but in the current political climate, such an effort would be met with a backlash of public protest.

So that leaves the last option: Flushing H1N1 vaccines down the drain, and this is exactly what will eventually be done with millions of unsold doses. After all the hype, all the empty promises, all the billions of dollars spent and all the fear mongering, a huge portion of these drugs are just going to be flushed down the toilet, essentially, because that's how hospitals, pharmacies and even drug makers get rid of excess pharmaceuticals.

Polluting the environment with H1N1 vaccines

There's a huge environmental concern in all this, of course: What's the effect of dumping millions of doses of H1N1 DNA / RNA into the public sewer system? No one really knows. It's yet another grand Big Pharma experiment. And how about the chemical additives, preservatives and adjuncts added to the vaccines? What impact will all those chemicals have on the environment?

It's a startling fact that the sewage expelled by one city ends up in the public drinking water of the next city downstream. Sewage is treated, of course, to achieve EPA-regulated "safe" status before it's dumped back into the rivers, but the EPA doesn't regulate something called "DNA pollution." DNA and RNA can be dumped into the sewage systems in virtually unlimited quantities, without any regulatory oversight (the FDA doesn't regulate drug disposal either).

If you think about it, then, this whole swine flu fiasco has been a huge scam of paying money to the drug companies in order to flush swine flu genetic material down the drain. This is the brilliance of government-led health policy, by the way: Spend good money to pollute the planet with potentially dangerous genetic material that might one day end up recombining with some other opportunistic viral candidates circulating in the wild.

What a clever way to help cause the next great pandemic, huh? It's almost a perfect recipe for vaccine repeat business: Take today's most virulent pandemic strain, replicate it in pharmaceutical labs around the world, then dump it into the environment for mass distribution. That's essentially what's happening here. It sounds insane, but it's exactly what's about to take place when the H1N1 liquidation sales are over and medical retailers just start flushing all these vaccines down the drain.

No EPA regulations

There are no EPA regulations that limit the dumping of vaccines directly into the public sewage system, by the way. Dumping excess pharmaceuticals down the drain is routine in modern medicine. Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and patients routinely flush pharmaceuticals down the drain. This is why you can now find HRT drugs, antidepressants and blood pressure drugs in the fish near any major U.S. city.

So many drugs are now dumped into the sewers that rivers have become Big Pharma runoff zones that poison the fish and destroy aquatic life. No wonder the world's oceans are dying -- they're all being bathed in Big Pharma's chemical waste!

But that's not the end of this story: In places all across America, sewage waste is used to make fertilizer that's spread on crops. The solid sewage waste is called "biosolids" or "black gold," and it's used by farmers and gardeners as a soil additive. What the people using this toxic sludge don't realize is that it's contaminated with Big Pharma's toxic chemicals. And soon, it may be contaminated with H1N1 vaccine material from all the millions of unused doses that pharmacies couldn't manage to peddle to consumers.

In the end, all those unused vaccines will eventually end up as crop fertilizer. It's yet another reason to avoid monoculture crops and grow your own food using biodynamic gardening methods, huh?

Who adviser conceals a donation of millions from a pharmaceutical company

2009-12-18T09:42:00.000-08:00

A Finnish member of the WHO board, an advisor on vaccines, has received 46 million crowns (6 million euros) for his research centre from the vaccine manufactures, GlaxoSmithKline. WHO promises transparency, but this conflict of interests is not available for the public to see at WHO’s homepage.

Another ‘WHO’ vaccine advisor is withholding information concerning financial support from the pharmaceutical industry.

Professor Juhani Eskola is the director of the Finnish research vaccine programme (THL) and a new member of the WHO group, ‘Strategic Advisory Group of Experts’ (SAGE), which gives advice to the WHO Director-General, Margaret Chan. ‘SAGE’ also recommend which vaccines - and how many - member countries should purchase for the pandemic.

According to documents acquired through the Danish ‘Freedom of Information Act,’ Professor Juhani Eskola’s Finnish institute, THL, received almost 6.3 million Euro from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for research on vaccines during 2009.

This amount of money qualifies GlaxoSmithKline as THL’s main source of income.

GlaxoSmithKline produces the H1N1-vaccine ‘Pandemrix,’ which the Finnish government following recommendations from THL and WHO purchased for a national pandemic reserve stockpile.

These facts bring Professor Juhani Eskola in line with several other ‘WHO ’experts who play a double role by having financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry – a double role which notably is not published by WHO.

During November, the Danish daily, ‘Information’ has informed the public that several members of WHO’s expert group have also been secretly working for the pharmaceutical industry. Since revealing this information, a record of meetings and the conflict of interests of some of the experts have become accessible, but not all, including Juhani Eskola.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

In Finland, Professor Juhani Eskola is at the centre of a national conflict of interest. The Finnish Minister of Health has become involved in this case and has asked for transparency concerning the researcher’s financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. However, Professor Eskola doesn’t agree that there is a problem. He secures and protects his ‘WHO’ status, by offering a minor ‘consultative payment’ to the pharmaceutical company, ‘Novartis.’

“Why haven’t you informed the public about a research grant of six million Euros from GlaxoSmithKline?” Professor Eskola comments, “It is a contract my chief and GSK have made, and I am not a part of the study, which receives the money.”

Regarding ‘WHO’s declaration on conflicts of interest, ‘SAGE’ experts are obliged to inform on all kinds of financial research support, scholarships, payment for collaboration and sponsor support for the research unit, during the past three years. “We have 1,400 researchers at ‘THL’ and if I declare every economic transaction I am a involved in then it gets complicated.

My interpretation of the WHO-declaration was that I didn’t have to declare the agreement of collaboration with GSK, as I neither receive the money personally nor do my research team. ‘WHO’ has asked me, and now I wait to be informed, whether they agree with my interpretation. If they don’t, they should make their declaration more clear.”

You are chair of the department and during 2009, GSK is your greatest contributor. Don’t you see a conflict of interests in this matter?

“It is a discussion we have had with the Finnish Minister of Health during the past few weeks but it is the ministry, who has bought the vaccines, not our institute. Pandemrix was chosen as the best vaccine and could be available soon at the Finnish market. The decision had to be made at the beginning of June and in my mind, the ministry of health chose the right solution, namely Pandemrix.”

But do you recognize a conflict of interest? - “We are aware that there appears to be a conflict of interest” he says.

“VERY SERIOUS”

According to WHO, all SAGE-members are obliged to inform about all financial interests, inclusive financing from the pharmaceutical industry, consulting payments and other forms of professional employment. Meanwhile, WHO has rejected an invitation to be interviewed about why not all financial interests of the WH -experts has been declared.

But in a mail WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl writes as follows:

“WHO has recently learned, that the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare has a research contract with GSK. The contract concerns a research project about pneumococcal-vaccine in the Finnish vaccination programme. WHO will take suitable action according to everything, which must be considered as conflicts of interests in this case.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Danish journalists have reported on other cases involving SAGE experts with financial links to pharmaceutical companies, many of which have not been declared.

Dr. Peter Figueroa, Professor, Public Health, Epidemiology & AIDS, Department of Community Health & Psychiatry, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of the West

Indies, Jamaica, received money from Merck.

Dr. Neil Ferguson has received funding Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline und Roche as well as insurance companies that he advised about pandemics but this was only revealed after publicity.

Professor Malik Peiris, Department of Microbiology, the University of Hong Kong, Faculty of Medicine, Hong Kong has received money from Baxter GSK und Sanofi Pasteur.This is not declared on the Who website.

Dr. Arnold Monto, advisor to Chiron, GlaxoSmithKline, MedImmune, Roche, Novartis, Baxter und Sanofi Pasteur.

Dr. Friedrich Hayden, consultant to MedImmune in 2006 and Sanofi Pasteur, in 2007. He has also got money from Roche, RW Johnson und SmithKline Beecham. The interests are not declared on WHO website.

Dr. Albert Osterhaus, head of the European Scientists Fighting Influenza, financed by Baxter, Crucell, Novartis, Hoffmann-La Roche, MedImmune, Nobilon, Sanofi Pasteur, MSD, Glaxo SmithKline und Solvay.

In a new development, Finnish Ministry of Social and Welfare has authorized the National Institute of Health and Welfare (THL) to purchace another 5.3 million H1N1 pre-pandemic vaccines for the whole population of Finland, adding to the existing stockpile of 5.3 million H5N1 vaccines and a contract to purchase another 5.3 million vaccines.

Below is a correspondence with WHO on the conflict of interest of Eskola by a Finnish citizen, revealing staff of WHO scrambling to whitewash their failure to declare Eskola's conflict of interest:

Correspondence with WHO on conflict of interest, December 2009

To assure the highest integrity, and hence public confidence, in its activities, WHO policies require that all experts serving in an advisory role agree to disclose any circumstances which could give rise to a potential conflict of interest (i.e., any interest which may affect, or may reasonably be perceived to affect, the expert's objectivity and independence). Since you have been selected as a WHO expert in the activity described below, you are requested to disclose in this Declaration of Interest (DoI) form any financial, professional or other interest relevant to the subject of the work or meeting in which you will be involved and any interest that could be significantly affected by the outcome of the meeting or work. You are also asked to declare relevant interests of others who may, or may be perceived to, unduly influence your judgment (such as immediate family members, employers, close professional associates or any others with whom you have a substantial common personal, financial or professional interest.)

To WHO:

Dear WHO staff,

I was very surprised to see at http://www.who.int/immunization/sage/Final_LOP_DOI_16_Nov_09.pdf that professor Juhani Eskola, a SAGE member, has not disclosed the conflict of interest resulting from GlaxoSmithKlines funding of an estimated 6 million euros at year 2009. The funding of 6 million euros (estimated by National Institute for Health and Welfare, Dr Terhi Kilpi, working under professor Eskola) is awarded to the National Institute for Health and Welfare, Eskola's employer. The conflict of interest resulting from the 6 million euros of funding and ordering of the GlaxoSmithKline Pandemrix vaccine by National Institute for Health and Welfare for 37 million euros has received quite a lot of publicity in Finland. Even the Minister of Health has decided that things have to be changed because of the conflicts of interest have become untolerable, see for example http://www.mtv3.fi/uutiset/sika/index.shtml/arkistot/kotimaa/2009/11/1003417

I trust you will take approriate action as you tell to the public in http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/briefing_20091203/en/index.html

From WHO:

...

Thank-you for your important message. The responsible officer for the SAGE Committee is Dr Phillip Duclos, who I have copied on this message, for further action. I have also copied Drs Okwo-bele and Kieny who have senior line management responsibilities for the Committee.

Please be assured that WHO takes the issue of conflicts of interest very seriously, and we will revert to you as soon as possible on the issue you have highlighted.

Regards

To WHO:

...

Judging from the Danish newspaper Information (original at http://www.information.dk/218247 apparently machine translated below to English so it might have errors), it seem WHO may have incorrect or misleading information on the nature of the GlaxoSmithKline pneumococcal trial which is contracted to professor Eskola's employer. The trial is one required for marketing authorization by the European medicines authority EMEA, i.e. is part of GlaxoSmithKline's product development.

It may be pertinent for WHO to also know professor Eskola's involvment in National Institute of Health and Welfare's research policies as the second-in-charge of the Institute. The National Institute of Health and Welfare has been repeatedly reprimanded by the Finnish oversight officials due to failures in upholding the Finnish law and informed consent in clinical trials; recently on a trial funded by GlaxoSmithKline. A few years back the institute was reprimanded for failures in proper procedures in a trial funded by an infant formula manufacturer and done on Finnish newborns (the FinDia trial, see for example http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Finnish_parliamentary_ombudsman_faults_infant_formula_study). The Institute's apparent response has been, instead of mending their procedures, to campaign for a law which would take away the parental consent requirement altogether, in direct contradiction of medical research ethical principles and the EU directive.

In the infant formula study, the institute did not tell infant's parents that the primary funding came from an infant formula company; thus the parents were not able to give informed consent. Professor Eskola was involved in correspondence regarding publication of an article partly based on the Findia trial's results. Professor Eskola's answer to the editor of the journal claimed there were no issues with the trial, in direct contradiction to the Parliamentary Ombudsman's findings described in the abovementioned news article. The Institute was reprimanded in 2006 also for not getting permission from both parents as required by Finnish law.

In the marketing authorization -related vaccine trial funded by GlaxoSmithKline, the trial staff did not seek permission from both parents, despite the Finnish law and the earlier reprimand. Thus they got a new reprimand in 2009, in which it was also found that the information given to participants was insufficient to result in an informed consent. We have contacted the European medicines agence EMEA and provided them with information on the trial.

You can find more information on the recent (2009) reprimand at http://www.rokotusinfo.fi/en/draft_091211_html

Thank you for taking the issue seriously,

with kind regards

Jackhead resident’s death may be H1N1 vaccine related: band councillor

2009-12-16T12:54:00.000-08:00

A Kinonjeoshtegon (Jackhead) First Nation official says a recently deceased community member may have had H1N1 or had an adverse reaction to the vaccine.

Coun. Rod Traverse of the band says the person was a middle-aged woman with a medical condition.

“Other than that, she was healthy,” said Traverse.

Traverse says the woman had been vaccinated for H1N1 the week before.

“She had a fever and her mother gave her a Tylenol,” said Traverse. “She died two hours later.”

Jackhead’s public health nurse and the woman’s family could not be reached for comment.

A spokesperson for Manitoba Health and Healthy Living saysthe province only releases information on lab-confirmed H1N1 cases that result in death.

“A lot of time may pass through the process of investigating and confirming with families as appropriate, but we try to announce confirmed cases as quickly as we can,” said the spokesperson.

“We announced the first death in the second wave of the virus last Tuesday and we will make further announcements as current as possible.”

Manitoba Health officials are also investigating two deaths within a week of the persons getting the vaccine, though the province says it wasn’t likely the cause of these deaths. “

Tamiflu anti-viral drug revealed as complete hoax; Roche studies based on scientific fraud

2009-12-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

© Unknown

When it comes to selling chemicals that claim to treat H1N1 swine flu, the pharmaceutical industry's options are limited to two: Vaccines and anti-virals. The most popular anti-viral, by far, is Tamiflu, a drug that's actually derived from a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb called star anise.

But Tamiflu is no herb. It's a potentially fatal concentration of isolated chemical components that have essentially been bio-pirated from Chinese medicine. And when you isolate and concentrate specific chemicals in these herbs, you lose the value (and safety) of full-spectrum herbal medicine.

That didn't stop Tamiflu's maker, Roche, from trying to find a multi-billion-dollar market for its drug. In order to tap into that market, however, Roche needed to drum up some evidence that Tamiflu was both safe and effective.

Roche engages in science fraud

Roche claims there are ten studies providing Tamiflu is both safe and effective. According to the company, Tamiflu has all sorts of benefits, including a 61% reduction in hospital admissions by people who catch the flu and then get put on Tamiflu.

The problem with these claims is that they aren't true. They were simply invented by Roche.

A groundbreaking article recently published in the British Medical Journal accuses Roche of misleading governments and physicians over the benefits of Tamiflu. Out of the ten studies cited by Roche, it turns out, only two were ever published in science journals. And where is the original data from those two studies? Lost.

The data has disappeared. Files were discarded. The researcher of one study says he never even saw the data. Roche took care of all that, he explains.

So the Cochrane Collaboration, tasked with reviewing the data behind Tamiflu, decided to investigate. After repeated requests to Roche for the original study data, they remained stonewalled. The only complete data set they received was from an unpublished study of 1,447 adults which showed that Tamiflu was no better than placebo. Data from the studies that claimed Tamiflu was effective was apparently lost forever.

As The Atlantic reports, that's when former employees of Adis International (essentially a Big Pharma P.R. company) shocked the medical world by announcing they had been hired to ghost-write the studies for Roche.

It gets even better: These researchers were told what to write by Roche!

As one of these ghostwriters told the British Medical Journal:

"The Tamiflu accounts had a list of key messages that you had to get in. It was run by the [Roche] marketing department and you were answerable to them. In the introduction ...I had to say what a big problem influenza is. I'd also have to come to the conclusion that Tamiflu was the answer."

In other words, the Roche marketing department ran the science and told researchers what conclusions to draw from the clinical trials. Researchers hired to conduct the science were controlled by the marketing puppeteers. No matter what they found in the science, they had already been directed to reach to conclusion that "Tamiflu was the answer."

800,000 doses of kids' swine flu vaccine recalled

2009-12-15T13:27:00.001-08:00

Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified doctors about the recall Tuesday. The recall involves about 800,000 doses made by Sanofi Pasteur. The doses are pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to almost three years.

Health officials recommend children those ages get two doses, spaced about a month apart.

Health officials say it's not clear how many doses have already been given, but they don't think children need to be re-vaccinated. The lots passed potency tests when they were first shipped, but tests indicate the potency waned after.

POLISH PRIME MINISTER CRITICÌSES PHARMA AND CLIMATE LOBBY

2009-12-14T15:24:00.000-08:00

The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk received a standing ovation for a speech at the Congress of European People's Parties in Bonn -- attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel -- in which he said that the swine flu pandemic and the phenomena of global warming are artifical crises that have been created for the profit of corporations, according to Polskaweb.

Tusk said ethical standards and a sense of fairness need to be restored in the EU also in connection with the bank-engineered credit crunch, which has seen governments giving trillions in bank bailouts to banks, thereby putting states on the verge of bankruptcy and burdening tax payers with gigantic debts.

"if we use our reason and conscience we will be able to protect our environment and climate without having to serve the egotistical interests of the business sector or of the eco lobby in some countries," Tusk said.

"If we want to protect people from sicknesses, we have to stand on the side of the people and not represent big pharmaceutical companies and their interests. It looks today like there is more interest in pouring oil onto the fire of a flu pandemic of greed and hypocrisy and on the phenomen of global warming than in getting a grip on selfishness," he said.

In another report, Polskaweb discusses the many scandals involving gigantic bribes, kickbacks and secret bank accounts that have rocked German political figures and parties, and also corporations.

Neither Germany's media nor justice system seems, however, inclined to investigate the vast pools of money transferred onto secret bank accounts that could be the reason why the German health minister, chancellor, leading doctors and also key officals at the Paul Ehrlich and Robert Koch Institute are so eager to trumpet the untested swine flu jab.

But it is not just the German government that appears to be so vulnerable to bribery and blackmail, and so willing to sell out the interests of their people for a few 100 million euros deposited on an offshore bank account.

Members of the Dutch, Danish, French, UK and US governments are among the biggest promoters of the swine flu and climate warming money-making scams.

Are only leaders in the entire Western world whose leaders cannot be bought in Poland? It certainly looks like this is the only honest government left in Europe and the USA.

Poland's health minister and a family doctor Ewa Kopacz recently came under fire from big pharma and WHO for refusing to order the untested swine flu vaccine for which the pharmaceutical companies want blanket immunity

Soldiers get mass swine flu shots before holidays

2009-12-12T13:27:00.000-08:00

FORT JACKSON, S.C. – Thousands of Army recruits in training must line up at least once more before heading home for the holidays, this time for mass inoculations by the hundreds against swine flu.

The Army's largest training camp, just outside Columbia, S.C., and other posts are hurrying to finish the shots before the year-end break. More than 40,000 soldiers in advanced and basic training across the country head home over the next two weeks in a massive troop movement known as "block leave," Army officials said.

"We have been very aggressive in trying to assure the safety of our soldiers," said Maj. Soo Hee Kim-Delio, the Army physician in charge of the inoculations at Fort Jackson. "Our basic training population is at particularly high risk."

Swine flu, also known as 2009 H1N1, has proved to be similar to seasonal flu but a bigger threat to children and young adults. Many of the trainees are in their late teens and early 20s.

The soldiers are also vulnerable because of the physical stress of basic training and from living at close quarters with hundreds of other recruits, Kim-Delio said. When they return home, they may rub shoulders with a host of relatives or be around children fresh from exposure at school.

Fort Jackson recorded the Army's first death from complications of swine flu when Spc. Christopher Hogg of Deltona, Fla., died Sept. 10 from pneumonia due to H1N1 influenza, authorities said.

Fort Jackson started the shots about two weeks ago and expects to vaccinate as many as 9,000 soldiers by the end of this week and another 2,000 by the middle of next week. The trainers who remain on post, the Army's medical work force, family members, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions such as asthma also will get the shots for a total of about 15,000 doses, Kim-Delio said.

Overall, the Department of Defense purchased 2.7 million doses of the H1N1 vaccine, which it is trying to deliver to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines around the globe before the end of the year, department spokesman Col. Wayne Hachey said.

At Fort Knox, Ky., home of the Army's Armor School, about 13,000 soldiers have been vaccinated for the swine flu, but the post won't get another shipment of doses until January. Capt. Franklin Hogue, who is in charge of the flu program there, said they have vaccinated approximately 70 percent of their troops.

At the Army's sprawling Fort Campbell, on the Kentucky-Tennessee line, over 7,000 soldiers have been vaccinated, according to Laura Boyd, a spokeswoman for Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. Another 5,000 doses have been given to families, retirees, schoolchildren and others in the community.

Flu shots are mandatory for all active duty men and women unless they have a medical condition such as an egg allergy, officials said.

"It's just one more shot in a long list of shots," Staff Sgt. David Gavula said after rolling up his sleeve for a swine flu shot at this post's vaccination clinic.

Gavula, of North Kingstown, R.I., also got a seasonal flu shot several months ago. But if left to his own devices, "I probably wouldn't bother to do it," the 26-year-old infantry soldier said with a shrug.

Britain: Swine Flu Less Deadly Than First Thought

2009-12-11T12:27:00.001-08:00

Swine flu is far less dangerous than originally feared, British officials said Thursday - about 100 times less lethal than the 1918 Spanish flu.

To determine how deadly the virus is, the British health department tracked all reported swine flu patients hospitalized between July and November. In a paper published online in the British journal, BMJ, experts estimated that out of every 100,000 infected people in Britain, about 26 died.

That is about 100 times less deadly than the devastating 1918 Spanish flu, which killed at least 50 million people worldwide. And swine flu appears to be nearly 10 times less fatal than the flu pandemics in 1957 and 1968, the British numbers showed.

Earlier this week, American researchers released a similar analysis of the virus and said swine flu, or H1N1, may turn out to be the mildest pandemic on record. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated swine flu has a lower death rate than seasonal flu.

British officials also said swine flu cases fell by about half last week, with an estimated 11,000 new cases.

When the World Health Organization declared swine flu to be a pandemic in June, it described it as "moderate." Most people who catch swine flu have mild symptoms like a fever or cough, and recover without needing medical treatment.

A pandemic is a measure of how widely a virus spreads, not its severity. Because flu viruses evolve constantly, swine flu could mutate into a more dangerous form.

While cases appear to have peaked in several countries, including the U.S. and Britain, experts fear there could be another surge in the winter.

In the BMJ analysis, British experts said about two thirds of patients who died in the U.K. had medical conditions that would have qualified them to get the swine flu vaccine when it was first available. The experts also said most people who died got Tamiflu too late, a finding they said justifies Britain's policy of giving Tamiflu to everyone, including previously healthy people, who report swine flu symptoms.

That contradicts WHO advice, which recommends countries save Tamiflu for at-risk patients _ such as pregnant women, the elderly, children and people with underlying medical problems. Other scientists have raised concerns about widespread Tamiflu use, since the drug comes with side effects like nausea, insomnia, and nightmares.

Using Tamiflu liberally _ as Britain does _ may also encourage drug resistance. Despite having a fraction of the swine flu cases logged in the U.S., the number of viruses that appear to be resistant to Tamiflu found in both countries is nearly identical: 25 in Britain and 26 in the U.S.

In Britain, Tamiflu is largely dispensed by call center workers at a national swine flu hotline who have no medical training. WHO advises people to only take the drug on a doctor's recommendation.

Swine-flu bribe fever: WHO's H1N1 scientists linked to companies making vaccine

2009-12-10T13:41:00.000-08:00

© Unknown

World Health Organization scientists are suspected of accepting secret bribes from vaccine manufacturers to influence the U.N. organization's H1N1 pandemic declaration, according to Danish and Swedish newspapers.

Meanwhile, pharmaceutical profits from swine-flu related drugs have soared – with earnings between $10 billion and $15 billion in 2009, investment bank JP Morgan estimates.

As WND reported, the WHO Director General Margaret Chan initially raised the influenza pandemic alert to its second highest level in May – but evidence reveals the agency may have made it easier to classify the flu outbreak as a pandemic by changing its definition to omit "enormous numbers of deaths and illness" just prior to making its declaration.

The world was gripped with fears of swine flu as the alert increased from Phase 5 to Phase 6, the highest level. Immediately, pharmaceutical companies began working to develop vaccines, and countries tailored their responses to address the situation.

Danish newspaper Information reported that when Chan raised the level of pandemic alert on June 11, the declaration meant substantial economic benefits for the pharmaceutical industry – especially since many countries have contracts with major drug companies and are required to purchase vaccines in the event of a pandemic. Swedish newspaper SvD echoed Information's report.

"Many of the apparently impartial researchers the WHO uses, however, are paid by the companies that produce vaccines," states a translated version of the Information article, "Strong lobbying behind WHO resolution on mass vaccination."

One expert in a WHO H1N1 advisory group, Dr. Albert Osterhaus, has been subject to a Dutch government investigation. The government convened a crisis meeting after an article in Science magazine indicated that Osterhaus has financial interests in several pharmaceutical companies.

Osterhaus, known as "Dr. Flu," is the head of the department of virology at the Erasmus MC, University of Rotterdam. According to a European Commission Research website, Osterhaus is co-founder of two biotech companies and promotes vaccines as solutions for pandemics.

Another expert who advises WHO on vaccines, Dr. Frederick Hayden, is described as a flu-research coordinator from the Wellcome Trust in London.

However, according to the report, Hayden also serves as a "paid adviser" for pharmaceutical companies Roche, RW Johnson, SmithKline Beecham and Glaxo Wellcome.

WHO expert Dr. Arnold Monto is also purportedly a paid consultant for MedImmune (a company that produces nasal flu vaccine), Glaxo Wellcome and ViroPharma. However, WHO's Strategize Advisory Group of Experts, or SAGE, never divulged those ties, according to the report.

The newspaper also states that numerous pharmaceutical companies maintain an active presence during WHO advisory group meetings, with representatives listed as "observers."

Professor Tom Jefferson, epidemiologist at the Cochrane Center in Rome, told Information he believes the researchers' dual roles are problematic, and he noted the WHO's emphasis on drugs rather than proper hygiene habits.

"The WHO's latest recommendation on the control of pandemic influenza has frequent washing of hands mentioned twice," he said. "Vaccines and antivirals are, however, mentioned 24 and 18 times. Why would an international public health agency focus on much more expensive interventions, such as vaccines and medication, when it is not proven that they work?"

Jefferson said washing ones hands is the only proven method of flu prevention.

Wolf Dieter Ludwig, head of drug commission of the German Medical Association, told Der Spiegel he has no doubt pharmaceutical companies have been seeking to capitalize off what he called a "non-existent threat."

WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told Information it's natural to allow representatives of the pharmaceutical industry to participate in WHO meetings.

"Everybody has something to contribute in this process – industry, NGOs [non-governmental organizations] and professional players – so we can gather all information," he said. "They cannot vote. They have no influence on the outcome, and they can only speak when they are asked. We make vaccine recommendations, so we need knowledge about what is required to produce a vaccine. Only the manufacturers have that knowledge."

According to the report, WHO does not publicize information about advisers' financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

"All staff must sign the declaration of conflicts of interest, so we are clear about their background," Hartl said. "But again, Frederick Hayden is the best influenza virologist in the world, so if you want to know how influenza behaves, you ask Fred Hayden."

Asked why WHO doesn't publish the advisers' financial ties to drug companies, he replied, "I'm not sure why we didn't publish it. I can't answer that. … It is possible that we will look at a code of disclosure of financial information, but I cannot promise anything."

He continued, "WHO has a system that guarantees independence. … We do not let anything or anyone influence us."

Louise Volle, journalist at the Danish daily and co-author of the report, told Russia Today, "The biggest problem seems to be that we don't know enough. There's not enough transparency on financial disclosure on the expert groups used by WHO. ... Scientists who appear to be independent are also hired consultants working for the same pharmaceutical companies who produce the vaccines. This is clearly an issue that needs to be taken care of."

Volle said she does not expect that the WHO will publish the financial disclosures on its experts unless public pressure is put on the organization.

Asked whether any solid investigations are being conducted to explore the allegations, she replied, "Not currently. I don't think so. ... [I]t has to be public what is going on in these meetings and what is going on in these expert groups. Who are the people working for WHO? And who else are they working for?"

According to Voice of America, Keiji Fakuda, WHO director general on pandemic influenza, refuted claims that WHO is in collusion with the pharmaceutical industry. He also noted that 150 million doses of H1N1 vaccine have been distributed in 40 countries.

Meanwhile, WHO reports the global H1N1 death toll at 8,768 as of Dec. 4.

According to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2,500 and 6,100 Americans died from swine flu between April and Oct. 17 this year.

However, the CDC also reports that during a typical U.S. winter, normal seasonal flu strains result in an average of 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 American deaths – roughly 10 times the current swine-flu death rate.

Leading epiemiologists are now predicting the pandemic may rank as the mildest on record.

Medical Martial Law Possible with New Public Health Bill in South Australia

2009-12-09T13:11:00.000-08:00

© Unknown

Received via e-mail

Written by a concerned Australian journalist

Posted in Sydney, December 3, 2009

South Australia has proposed controversial new legislation, in an unprecedented move to legalize forced medicine, civil libertarians say. Under the guise of public health, the South Australian Health Minister John Hill has introduced the South Australian Public Health Bill 2009 into state Parliament. It is feared the Bill will authorize a massively expanded new public health department – in addition to the already existing one – which will wield authoritarian powers that threaten to radically change current medical practice and leave wide spread human and civil rights violations in its wake.

The state has extensive public health statutes already in place allowing the health department wide powers in case of public health risks such as epidemics, but the new Bill harmonizes with the World Health Organizations’ International Health Regulations to which Australia is a signatory. The Bill introduces the new disease category of ‘controlled infectious diseases’, which allows authorities unprecedented powers over persons even suspected of having an infectious disease. The Bill’s explanatory paper states; [The Bill] Provides for a clear scheme for the management and control of persons with controlled infectious disease … [it] provides for a compulsory scheme of clinical examination, counseling, direction, treatment orders and detention or isolation orders.

This means health department authorities can forcibly test, examine, counsel, treat, detain, or isolate anyone suffering of any disease or anyone suspected of having a disease.

Incredibly, the Bill also claims powers over those with chronic non-infectious diseases. Clause 57 allows the health minister to declare non-infectious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and vascular problems – a public health risk. Clause 58 allows the health department to set down a ‘code of practice’ which impose standardized medical treatment protocols for each condition, requiring doctors to prescribe only the official drugs and treatments approved by the government. The code of practice includes government control of health information given to the public. Those in the allied health industry fear the law could restrict or end independent sources of health information, complementary medicines, health product network marketing and a choice in doctors. Consumer groups fear the Bill has the power to end health choices while reducing doctors to prescribing standardized treatments. One watchdog group spokesman said he believed the Bill gave drug companies an open door to persuade health departments to mandate their products while stifling independent information.

Libertarian groups have expressed concern about the coercive nature of the Bill. Clause 59 deals with notifiable conditions. Currently, any person seeking treatment for a sexually transmitted disease, or a childhood disease such as measles or mumps, or a simple case of the flu must be reported to the health department. Clause 60 of the Public Health Bill, imposes $10,000 fines on doctors, pathologists and labs for failing to report a case of flu or any other notifiable disease within 3 days of even ‘forming a suspicion’ that a person has the disease. Under the new law, the health department has the power to request any confidential information about patients, which doctors must supply on threat of a hefty fine. A special clause protects doctors from any breach of patient confidentiality or ethical breaches in case patients complain about their medical information being passed on to various government departments. The new Bill ensures the public will not be able to access public health department information through the Freedom of Ithe minister can declare any disease-causing micro-organism a notifiable disease, including future, as yet unidentified new germs. Once the minister declares a micro-organism to be notifiable, Clause 64 allows the health department to seize vehicles or other belongings and impose quarantine on persons or entire regions. The new Bill ensures the public will not be able to access public health department information through the Freedom of Information Act 1991.

While many would regard these powers reasonable and necessary to contain serious plagues, critics claim that Clause 65 widens these powers into all other non-infectious conditions. The Bill’s explanatory paper states that under Clause 65: A disease or medical condition can be declared to be a controlled notifiable disease or medical condition by regulation. In the interests of public health in urgent circumstances, the Minister can declare a disease or medical condition a controlled notifiable disease…

This means health department officials can force persons with conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, or cancer to undergo a medical examination and testing followed by forced treatments, and detention. Clause 70 gives the government power to force ‘counseling’ and ‘education’ or; other activities that help a person understand the implications of a controlled notifiable disease if a person has failed to participate in a relevant counseling activity despite being given a reasonable opportunity to do so’. Clause 71 gives the health department power to force persons, among other things to; reside at a certain place, to not visit specified places, to not associate with specified persons or classes of persons, to attend specified meetings and provide reasonably required information, to be under the supervision of a person nominated by the Chief Public Health Officer.

With already wide ranging control over all diseases and conditions, the Bill gives the health department additional power to automatically override all parental consent. At the same time, large populations can be controlled through Clauses 4-6 setting out requirements for ‘population monitoring’ and other ‘systemic measures’ requiring local councils to regularly report to the health department about persons alleged or even suspected of causing health risks. Once enacted, no one will be able to avoid the legislation – even when dead. Clause 78 permits the government to carry out any procedure or tests on dead people, despite any objections from the relatives.

The Bill has extra clout with its substantial fines ranging from $60,000 to $1 million and 10 years’ jail for those who do not comply with the tough new health measures.

Some have hailed the Bill as a welcome reform to public health. The South Australian health minister, John Hill writes in the Bill’s explanatory paper, ‘This Bill, if passed, will provide South Australia with forward looking legislation for public health that meets international standards. It will provide for systematic approaches to prevention and health promotion and stronger, more robust powers for protecting public health and for dealing with public health emergencies. It also enables South Australia to meet and respond to the public health challenges that will confront us in the 21st Century.’ Meanwhile, Australian Medical Association State President, Dr Andrew Lavender said he approved of the changes, claiming they were important to protect the public.

The only politician opposing the Bill so far has been opposition health spokesman Duncan McFetridge. ‘It’s bordering on nanny-state legislation,’ he said. ‘It’s understandable, but how far do we go?’

Since the Bill was introduced into the SA state Parliament, it has caused a furor among health care advocates who fear it could spell the end of health choices, undermine the public’s trust in doctors, and usher in the end of democracy in the State of South Australia.

H1N1 NASAL MIST - BOY SUFFERS IN AGONY AFTER TAKING THE SPRAY

2009-12-08T12:33:00.000-08:00

This footage is of a young boy called Brycen in absolute agony just trying to walk. On the 14th November Brycen's mother found him lying on the floor crying and unable to stand. After X-Rays, CT, MRI and blood tests the doctors think it is most likely a cause of the H1N1 nasal vaccine that he received on the 3rd November.

Doctors have said Brycen is suffering acute ataxia which is affecting his cerebellum and is the result of having the H1N1 nasal spray.

French President Announces Creation of Paramility Groups

2009-12-07T11:47:00.000-08:00

© Unknown

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced plans to form paramilitary groups to patrol parts of cities, the "banlieu", where large numbers of immigrants live, in a move that has disturbing echoes of Fascist Europe in the 1930s.

Private "citizen“ paramilitary groups are supposed to keep "law and order" in the banlieue. But the decision to set them up ahead of the up ahead of up-coming regional elections will spark fears that will be employed to intimidate political opponents.

Allowing an uregulated armed force to patrol high rise ghettos, blighted by unemployment and poverty and where the residents are disadvanatged by systematic racism, is also sure to create an atrmosphere of intimidation and violence and could ignite large scale social unrest.

The increasingly unpopular Sarkozy and his globalist backers might well, however, be hoping to hang onto power by using the divide and rule tactic.

Funding private armies will drag France down into a spiral of violence, deflecting attention from their financial and other crimes, such as the use of toxic vaccines in vaccination centers.

Shooting protestors is also permitted under the Lisbon Treaty, which came into force on December 1st, and which put Europe under a quasi dictatorship by means of the use of the manipulation of the election process.

As a result of this fraudulent treaty, an EU police force is theoretically allowed to arrest anyone without even having to a reason to the local police, putting their operations outside the law.

However, the Lisbon Treaty has itself no basis in law.

The Nazi German Judges Trail of 1947 ruled that judges and lawyers who assisted the Nazi government in stripping people of their constitutional rights so that they have little or no legal security against the arbitary and brutal violence of state organs are guilty of a crime, specifically of abusing of the judicial and penal process.

The Nuremberg Trial of 1947 also ruled lawyers and judges who had not activity promote Nazi lynch justice and state –organised terror were also guilty on the grounds that their decision to continue in office lent credibility to what had become a criminal justice system.

The same ruling applies to the EU and the Lisbon Treaty and any judge who attempts to enforce its provisions.

An EU law criminalising legitimate reporting of EU crimes is itself an obvious crime.

Europe's drug regulator, the EMEA -- two-thirds funded by the pharmaceutical industry -- allowed untested and dangerous "swine flu" vaccines to be approved on the market, but now you can be arrested by the EU police for pointing these facts out.

But this is just one example how the EU is being used as front to further the agenda of an international corporate crime syndicate.

This totalitarian EU structure allowing paramilitary groups and organised corporate funded crime to flourish must be dismantled and the people of Europe need to return to democracy and the rule of law as soon as possible.

Sarkozy annonce la création de milices de quartier

Vendredi, 04 Décembre 2009 12:03

La grippe s’avérant bénigne, on prépare toujours davantage l’état d’urgence, que l’on considère semble-t-il comme une étape obligée.

Dans la perspective des élections régionales de mars prochain, Nicolas Sarkozy s’est rendu en Seine-Saint-Denis, mardi 24 novembre, pour remettre le thème de l’insécurité sur le devant de la scène. Un passage de son discours est passé à peu près inaperçu : Jean-Luc Mélenchon invité de France Inter dimanche soir, l’a mis en évidence. Le Président de la République n’a rien annoncé de moins que la création de milices citoyennes pour assurer le maintien de l’ordre :

« Des réservistes expérimentés seront recrutés comme délégués à la cohésion police-population. Ils s’appuieront sur des "volontaires citoyens de la police nationale", c’est à dire des habitants dont je veux engager le recrutement pour qu’ils s’impliquent dans la sécurité de leur propre quartier. »

Mélenchon a repris l’information dans son blog ; voici son article :

"ACTION URGENT : REFUSER LA CREATION DES MILICES SARKOCHIOURMES

Ce soir sur France inter, dans l’émission de Pierre Weill, "c’est demain la veille" j’ai évoqué un fait à propos du contenu du discours de Nicolas Sarkozy sur la sécurité en banlieue qui a fait figure de révélation comme l’a souligné Jean-Marie Colombani présent sur le plateau. Je recommence donc ici, sur ce blog, pour que la nouvelle ne reste pas confinée. Comment se fait-il qu’aucun média ne l’ai relevé ? Peut être parce que Nicolas Sarkozy fait tellement de discours que leur contenu n’est plus étudié par personne. Nous allons voir combien de temps il faudra pour que le sujet que je soulève vienne en débat dans les médias. Je rappelle en résumé le contexte :

Le 24 novembre Sarkozy s’est rendu à Bobigny, Epinay (93) et Le Perreux (94) annonçant que « ça va beaucoup bouger sur la sécurité » avec « un plan anti-drogue, un développement accru de la vidéosurveillance, et de nouveaux moyens d’enquête pour la police. » Etrange déjà de voir quelqu’un en 1ère ligne et en responsabilité sur la sécurité depuis plus de 7 ans, depuis son accession au ministère de l’intérieur en 2002, affirmé qu’il faut faire bouger beaucoup de chose dans son domaine d’action prioritaire. Passons. Mais une annonce qu’il a faite, énorme, est passée totalement inaperçue. Lisez cet extrait de son discours : « Des réservistes expérimentés seront recrutés comme délégués à la cohésion police-population.

Ils s’appuieront sur des "volontaires citoyens de la police nationale", c’est à dire des habitants dont je veux engager le recrutement pour qu’ils s’impliquent dans la sécurité de leur propre quartier. » Ainsi il s’agit là du système expérimenté par Silvio Berlusconi en Italie et que l’on appelle « les chemises jaunes » du nom de la couleur de la chemise de ces miliciens. Ainsi Nicolas Sarkozy a l’ intention de faire des milices et personne ne dit rien ? Avez-vous bien lu ? Dans votre quartier, certains habitants du quartier auront des fonctions de police dans le quartier lui-même.

Qui peut être d’accord avec ça ? Imaginez-vous concrètement ce que cela veut dire de pouvoir exorbitants accordé à ces personnes ? Il faut rapidement que nos parlementaires et nos élus locaux s’opposent à cette absurdité. Les milices locales sont la fin du maintien de l’ordre républicain. Aucune des imperfections et lacunes béantes de ce dernier ne justifie que l’on régresse à cette logique milicienne qui va déclencher des abus prévisibles et des inquisitions intolérables dans un pays libre."

Texte "explicatif" de la "Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union Européenne" :
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2007:303:0001:0016:FR:PDF
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/fr/treaties/dat/32007X1214/htm/C2007303FR.01001701.htmA côté de la « Charte des Droits Fondamentaux » de l’Union Européenne adoptée (dans un chahut mémorable) en date du 14/12/2007, existe donc un « mode d’emploi » qui est destiné à aider à « interpréter » les articles.
Rappel, la constitution européenne prend le pas sur les constitutions nationales des différents pays.
Préambule
Explication de article 2 – Droit à la vie
a) L’article 2, paragraphe2, de la CEDH
« La mort n’est pas considérée comme infligée en violation de cet article dans les cas où elle résulterait d’un recours à la force absolument nécessaire :
- Pour assurer la défense de toute personne contre la violence illégale ;
- Pour effectuer une arrestation régulière ou pour empêcher l’évasion d’une personne régulièrement détenue ;
- Pour réprimer, conformément à la loi, une émeute ou une insurrection ».
NDLR : Tirer sur des manifestants n’est donc pas considéré comme une violation de la peine de mort.

b) L’article 2 du protocole n°6 annexé à la CEDH :
« Un Etat peut prévoir dans sa législation la peine de mort pour des actes commis en temps de guerre ou de danger imminent de guerre ; une telle peine ne sera appliquée que dans des cas prévus par cette législation et conformément à ses dispositions… ».
NDLR : Cela relativise donc l’abolition de la peine de mort, qui pourrait être de nouveau appliquée en cas de crise !

Explication ad article 3 – Droit à l’intégrité de la personne
2. « …la présente charte ne vise pas à déroger à ces dispositions et ne prohibe en conséquence que le seul clonage reproductif. Elle n’autorise ni ne prohibe les autres formes de clonage. Elle n’empêche donc aucunement le législateur d’interdire les autres formes de clonage.
NDLR : Ils essayent de nous embrouiller pour finir par dire que le clonage est légal, en fait !

3. « La référence aux pratiques eugéniques, notamment celles ayant pour but la sélection des personnes, vise les hypothèses dans lesquelles des programmes de sélection sont organisés et mis en œuvre, comportant par exemple des campagnes de stérilisation, de grossesses forcées, de mariages ethniques obligatoires…tous ces actes qui sont considérés comme des crimes internationaux par le statut de la Cour pénale internationale adopté à Rome le 17 Juillet 1998 (voir art 7, par 1, point g) »
NDLR : Certaines pratiques eugénistes sont interdites, mais il pourrait y avoir une tolérance.

Explication ad article 5 – Interdiction de l’esclavage et du travail forcé
« N’est pas considéré comme ‘travail forcé ou obligatoire’ au sens du présent article :
a) Tout travail requis d’une personne soumise à la détention dans les conditions prévues par l’article 5 de la présente convention, ou durant sa mise en liberté conditionnelle ;
b) Tout service de caractère militaire ou, dans le cas d’objecteurs de conscience dans les pays où l’objection de conscience est reconnue comme légitime, à un autre service à la place du service militaire obligatoire ;
c) Tout service requis dans le cas de crises ou de calamités qui menacent la vie ou le bien être de la communauté ;
d) Tout travail ou service formant partie des obligations civiques normales.
NDLR : Ils ratissent large !

Titre II – LIBERTES
Explication ad article 6 – Droit à la liberté et à la sûreté
« 1. Toute personne à droit à la liberté et à la sûreté. Nul ne peut être privé de sa liberté, sauf dans les cas suivants et selon les voies légales :
a) S’il est détenu régulièrement après condamnation par un tribunal compétent.
b) S’il a fait l’objet d’une arrestation ou d’une détention régulières pour insoumission à une ordonnance rendue, conformément à la loi, par un tribunal ou en vue de garantir l’exécution d’une obligation prescrite par la loi.
c) S’il a été arrêté et détenu en vue d’être conduit devant l’autorité judiciaire compétente, lorsqu’il y a des raisons plausibles de soupçonner qu’il a commis une infraction ou qu’il y a des motifs raisonnables de croire à la nécessité de l’empêcher de commettre une infraction ou de s’enfuir après l’accomplissement de celle-ci ;
NDLR : Même si on n’est que « soupçonné » !

d) S’il s’agit de la détention régulière d’une personne susceptible de propager une maladie contagieuse, d’un aliéné, d’un alcoolique, d’un toxicomane, d’un vagabond ;
NDLR : La Charte a été écrite en 2007, mais est digne des plus belles années du régime de Vichy !

Explication ad article II – Liberté d’expression et d’information
« 1…... le présent article n’empêche pas les Etats de soumettre les entreprises de radiodiffusion, de cinéma ou de télévision à un régime d’autorisations.

Explication ad article 12 – Liberté de réunion et d’association
« 1. Toute personne a droit à la liberté de réunion et à la liberté d’association, y compris le droit de fonder avec d’autres des syndicats et de s’affilier pour la défense de ses intérêts..
2……le présent article n’interdit pas que des restrictions légitimes soient imposées à l’exercice de ces droits par les membres des forces armées, de la police ou de l’administration de l’Etat »
NDLR : Voilà quelques exemples des petites surprises que l’on peut trouver dans la charte européenne des « droits de l’homme » ! Elle recèle d’autres coquineries dans le domaine économique et de la défense…
Mais comment se fait-il que tout cela n’ait pas été diffusé ?

Boston: Flu vaccine clinic turnout lower than expected

2009-12-07T11:39:00.000-08:00

Kyle Kelley of West Roxbury put on a brave face as a public health nurse wiped a spot on his arm and gave him a quick shot of the H1N1 vaccine.

"Good boy,'' said his mother, Tracey, patting his back as her other two children watched in amazement.

But try as he might, Kyle could not hold back the tears.

"It didn't hurt at first,'' explained the 8-year-old. "Usually [the needle] stays in four seconds, but I counted it and it was two seconds. But it didn't hurt that much.''

Inside the gymnasium at Hyde Park High School, there were squeals, tears, brave faces, and shirt sleeves rolled up as hundreds came out to get the H1N1 vaccine.

Boston public health officials had hoped to inoculate 5,000 residents in Hyde Park yesterday against H1N1 - and another 5,000 today in West Roxbury - as part of a community vaccination drive that targets people most at risk for getting swine flu. The H1N1 vaccine is only being offered to those at greatest risk of complications and viral illness - people age 3 to 24, and adults 25 through 64 who suffer from asthma, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Regular seasonal flu shots were not offered this weekend.

By 3 p.m. yesterday, 715 people in Hyde Park had gotten their shots or nasal spray.

Ann Scales, spokeswoman for the Boston Public Health Commission, said the turnout was lower than expected because fewer reported cases of flulike illnesses have been reported recently and because many city residents are already vaccinated.

"That has suppressed interest in the vaccine,'' she said.

Panic about the swine flu is waning as many people with symptoms are opting to stay home and ride out the illness rather than going to their doctor, she said.

For the past two months public health officials have been teaming with the city's community health centers to hold free H1N1 flu clinics, and more than 12,000 Boston residents have received shots or nasal sprays to fight swine flu, said Barbara Ferrer, the health commission's executive director.

Public health officials decided to hold the massive flu clinics in Hyde Park and West Roxbury because neither have health centers.

"These residents want easy access to public clinics,'' said Ferrer. "Many people can go to see their health care providers . . . but in every neighborhood we've promised public clinics.''

Since April, 1,867 confirmed cases of swine flu have been reported in Massachusetts, and 25 people have died from it, according to the latest flu report from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health last week.

For about five hours yesterday, a steady stream of Boston residents lined up, filled out health-related questionnaires, and got shots or nasal spray.

To keep the lines moving, more than 150 health workers in blue and green vests answered questions in multiple languages and steered residents in the right direction. They also posted reminders and updates, along with photographs, on Twitter.

The weekend flu clinics come two days after the state released a report that showed swine flu is loosening its grip on Massachusetts patients. According to the report from the Department of Public Health, the number of patients complaining of flu-like symptoms has fallen to its lowest level in a month.

Last week, influenza accounted for 3.55 percent of visits to a representative sampling of Massachusetts physicians. In early November, nearly 10 percent of the visits were attributed to the flu, the Globe recently reported.

Another flu clinic will be held today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the William Ohrenberger School, 175 West Boundary Road in West Roxbury.

An H1N1 flu clinic targeting grades 1 through 4 will also be held today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Brookline High School, 115 Greenough St., in Brookline.

Swine flu publicity means uptick in OCD symptoms

2009-12-07T11:34:00.001-08:00

All those swine flu warnings have made a difference: People are washing their hands more, whipping out hand sanitizer and giving the stink-eye to coughers in their proximity.

But for people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, all the talk about germs has been ominous. People who treat those affected with OCD are seeing an uptick in those seeking help.

"We've gotten more calls this year - there is no doubt. And a large percentage of those callers talk about H1N1 contamination," says Ellen Sawyer, executive director of the education and support organization OCD Chicago.

Fugen Neziroglu, clinical director of the Bio-Behavioral Institute in Great Neck, N.Y., which treats people with OCD, says she's seeing an increase in contamination-related OCD due to the public mandates regarding hand-washing and coughing.

That's not to say the government's messages about swine flu are enough to trigger the disorder - at least for those who aren't normally nervous about contamination, says Maureen Whittal of the University of British Columbia Department of Psychiatry.

"However, for people who are vulnerable because they have either already some mild concerns about contamination or were previously treated for contamination related OCD but have residual fears, the messages of danger and the potential lethal consequences could be sufficient to trigger OCD," she says.

Some 2.2 million American adults over age 18 have OCD, according to the National Institutes of Health, and the first symptoms often begin during childhood or adolescence. While some might joke about a neat freak having OCD, the disorder goes far beyond that: Someone with OCD might wash their hands so often that they become cracked and bleed.

Sawyer says this is an exceedingly hard time to treat people with OCD: "It almost seems like most of the American public is doing all the things that people with OCD aren't supposed to do."

Whittal works with patients to set up goals.

"What we've been telling our patients is to follow the guidelines regarding hand-washing or use of antibacterials but no more - i.e., don't do more than what is recommended. We would also talk to people about the realistic percentages of becoming seriously ill and or dying from H1N1," she says. "The worst-case-scenario thinking is extremely unlikely. We might compare and contrast the probability of dying from H1N1 to, say, dying in a motor vehicle accident."

For people with OCD, Sawyer calls the publicity about H1N1 a "disaster."

"These are people who had enough to deal with when all the commercials for antibacterial soap started appearing a few years ago," she says.

If you suspect that your obsession with germs have gone too far, there are self-screening tests for OCD on many medical Web sites including www.ocdchicago.org

Jordan McFarland, a 14-year-old boy from Virginia, is weak and struggling to walk after coming down with a reported case of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) within hours after receiving the H1N1 vaccine for swine flu.

McFarland left Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children in a wheelchair nearly a week after developing severe headaches, muscle spasms and weakness in his legs following a swine flu shot.

Jordan is among the first people in the U.S. to report developing the potentially life-threatening muscle disorder after receiving the H1N1 vaccine this fall. Increased cases of GBS were found in patients who received a 1976 swine flu vaccine.

Likewise, a young woman in France has also been diagnosed with GBS after a swine flu shot. The woman, identified only as a health worker, was diagnosed with GBS six days after she received the swine flu shot, according to the French health ministry

Swedish, Japanese, and Chinese health officials have also reported a number of serious side effects, including deaths of people who received the H1N1 vaccine.

In China, the Ministry of Health announced that the two people, including one teacher from Hunan province, died hours after receiving their inoculations.

Chinese health officials have pulled all vaccines manufactured in the same batch used to inoculate the teacher.

Fifty-four percent of Chinese residents reported in a China Daily survey that they would not get the H1N1 vaccine because of concerns about the shot's safety. Among those inoculated so far in China, more than 1,200 have complained of side effects ranging from sore arms, rashes, and headaches, to anaphylactic shock and sudden drops in blood pressure.

Dr. Mercola's Comments

Oh, how short our memories are.

It was only four short years ago when President Bush projected that TWO MILLION Americans would die from the bird flu . Guess how many in the US died from bird flu?

Zero, not one person...

I actually wrote a NY Times best seller on this called The Great Bird Flu Hoax.

With the H1N1 flu we have yet another example of how the CDC and the World Health Organization brazenly distort reality.

In addition, they ignore and deny the dangerous and life-threatening side effects of their expensive solution, encouraging innocent people to suffer for the cause of "herd immunity" - the idea that the benefits of vaccinating everyone outweigh the rights of those who are harmed by the vaccine.

And even though reports of severe adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccine, including deaths, are streaming in from countries around the world, these two governing bodies are continuing their campaign in the U.S. and around the world to promote a vaccine that has not been proven safe - or even necessary.

H1N1 is the Pandemic that Never Materialized Just Like Bird Flu

I've already addressed the non-necessity of this vaccine in previous articles revealing that H1N1 is nothing but a hyped-up blip on the radar. In fact, a former Ontario, Canada, chief medical officer of health went on CBC/TV and called H1N1 a "dud" as far as a pandemic goes.

Sadly, you're not hearing this in the mainstream media, although stunning coverage by CBS Chicago has finally blown the lid off the hype. In an investigation by reporter Sharyl Attkisson, this station recently revealed that only a fraction of reported H1N1 cases actually are H1N1!

Sharyl found this out by doggedly pursuing the numbers, first through a Freedom of Information Act request from the CDC, and then by contacting each state individually when the CDC refused to respond.

The states' responses were shocking: The vast majority of cases being reported as H1N1 actually are not flu at all - instead, they are some other kind of respiratory infection!

To read about this report and listen to an interview I did with Attkisson on this topic, please see this previous article.

No Vaccine is Completely Safe

This is an important message that needs to get out. But just as important is the safety issue. Because no matter what vaccine officials say in public, they know that no vaccine is completely safe.

They admit this among themselves. For example, a 2001 article in the American Journal of Epidemiology , on how much risk U.S. parents were willing to accept in exchange for a vaccine's benefits, was prefaced with the statement, "Despite the obvious benefits of vaccination, no vaccine is completely safe."

What the authors of the article found - the extent of risk that parents are willing to assume to obtain a vaccine's benefits - is another story for a different day. But the point is, vaccine officials would like you to think that the worst a person could suffer from a vaccine is a sore arm and maybe a headache or a general feeling of tiredness.

The truth is far more sinister: NO VACCINE IS COMPLETELY SAFE. Yet, in public, health officials continue to play H1N1 Russian roulette with people's lives. For example:

Quebec Woman Dies

At the beginning of November, a 42-year-old Quebec woman died two days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine. But did authorities report it as an adverse reaction to the vaccine?

No! Instead, they attributed her death to complications resulting from the H1N1 virus!

I suppose they did this because she developed flu-like symptoms. What they didn't say was that flu-like symptoms are also some of the adverse reactions you get from receiving a flu shot.

They also didn't say that other reactions can include Guillian-Barre Syndrome (GBS) convulsions, syncope (fainting), blood and lymphatic system disorders, and immune disorders such as anaphylaxis, just to name a few - all events that can be life-threatening enough to end in death.

It's no surprise, then, that when an 80-year-old man died in Quebec after getting his H1N1 vaccine, health officials dismissed that too, saying it was too soon to link his death to the shot.

Instead, they stressed that adverse reactions to this vaccine are "rare" and that "there is no evidence that the vaccine is dangerous".

But is that true?

When pressed for proof that the vaccine is safe, Canada officials point to GSK's pre-marketing clinical tests, which show minor reactions in all but four cases. Of those four, only one was believed to be vaccine-related.

What they don't explain is that the total number of people studied was just 253.

And that puts safety in a whole different perspective, because 1 out of 253 translates into a rate of 395 severe adverse reactions in every 100,000 people!

Safety Data Just Not There

Again, the mainstream press has not picked up on this. However, Straight.com , an online news source in Vancouver, not only is trying to get the word out, but also interviewed several health scientists who are alarmed by the terrifying truth about this vaccine.

"Where is the safety data that the government used to license this vaccine?" asked Chris Shaw, a neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia. Shaw is not allowing his 6-year-old daughter to get the shot.

Calling GSK's package insert "a shocking document," Shaw pointed out that there is "no safety data at all for several groups of people," including pregnant women and certain age groups of children - all of whom are on the front lines for getting this vaccine.

Another scientist, Sucharit Bhakdi, a professor of medical microbiology at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany, also spoke with Straight. He cited a paper he coauthored in October in the journal Medical Microbiology, where he warned of a possible uptick in heart problems due to mass H1N1 vaccination.

Bhadki also called Canada's monitoring of the vaccine "flimsy" and pointed out that most vaccine safety studies only follow patients for a few days or months, when most serious vaccine reactions can take years to develop.

But again, you're not hearing that in the mainstream media.

Vaccine Pulled in Manitoba

In the meantime, GSK's H1N1 vaccine (which was granted FDA approval for use in the US as recently as November 10) was pulled in Manitoba, Canada after too many life-threatening reactions occurred there.

As reported on CTV/Canada on November 20, the vaccine was triggering so many anaphylactic reactions that health officials and GSK pulled more than 170,000 doses of one batch. They tried to downplay their actions by saying this was merely a "precaution," perhaps because much of this batch had already been disbursed.They admitted that 36 severe adverse events had been reported, most of which were allergic reactions that occurred within minutes of the shot, and all of which were treated "promptly."

But they glossed over the fact that one person died from an anaphylactic reaction, saying "the death hasn't been conclusively linked to the flu shot."

Now, 36 severe allergic reactions may not sound like a lot to some people, but consider this: Manitoba health officials stated that severe allergic reactions from the batch in question was observed at a ratio of 1 in 20,000, which is FIVE TIMES higher than the typical rate of 1 in 100,000.

Turkish Republic Issues Warning

Five days earlier, on November 15, the Turkish Republic had already released an anaphylactic reaction memorandum to its vaccine centers, warning them to watch out for "frightening side effects" to this vaccine. It seems that a doctor there went into a coma after his H1N1 vaccination, the Turkish press said.

The doctor was saved in the hospital where he works, and afterward he advised that these shots be given only in hospitals from now on.

Similar events are happening all over the world, but for the most part are not being reported in the mainstream press. For example, did you hear that in Japan, at the end of October, seven of 22,000 medical workers vaccinated with H1N1 had developed side effects, four of them considered serious? Or that 25 patients there had also reported side effects that included vomiting, allergic reactions and diminished consciousness?

No? Well, it's true.

Ask for the Truth

The mainstream press just keeps plugging the same old propaganda, disregarding what is actually happening.

The truth is, while the mortality rate of swine flu is extremely low, what is happening is that people are dying or suffering life-altering disabilities shortly after receiving the flu vaccine, whether it's seasonal or H1N1 - and officials accept this as the cost of doing business.

But do you?

I suggest that before you take this shot, ask your doctor to supply you with a package insert from the vaccine, and to discuss all the possible adverse reactions with you. Any health professional should be able to do this - in fact, it is part of something called "informed consent," which is required for any medical procedure, including each and every vaccination.

But just in case your doctor doesn't have the insert handy, or has forgotten about informed consent, you can find four of the five inserts here. I predict that what you learn there will not be something you read in your local newspaper.

Adverse Reactions Listed in Package Inserts

Here are just a few adverse reactions listed in the package insert from MedImmune's Intranasal "live" vaccine (the one you see being administered up children's noses on TV):

Guillian-Barre syndrome
Exacerbation of symptoms of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy
Gastrointestinal disorders
Immune system disorders, including anaphylactic reaction

The insert includes a disclaimer that it's not possible to "reliably estimate" the frequency of these reactions or to establish a "causal relationship" to the vaccine, but the point is, they were reported reactions that the manufacture was required to list.

Sanofi Pasteur's package insert is very interesting too, first, because it uses trials from its seasonal vaccine, Fluzone, as the comparison to its H1N1 vaccine. The reasoning for this is that they are manufactured by the same process, the insert says.

So, with that in mind, know that this insert also says that the total number of children studied for the 2003-2004 formulation of Fluzone was just 19 in the age group 6 to 23 months and only 12 for ages 24 to 36 months old!

Using that data, Sanofi reported only "mild" reactions to its vaccine. In the post-marketing of it, however, the company reported:

Guillian-Barre Syndrome
Anaphylaxis
Convulsions
Vasculitis
And more...

But again, since these reactions were not recorded under a carefully-controlled study with representative numbers - groups of 19 and 12 are hardly reflective of an entire population - the company doesn't have to consider these reactions as significant or even connected with the vaccine.

This is just plain criminal, especially when you consider that the package inserts also tell you that these vaccines have not been tested for safety in pregnant or nursing women!

What this amounts to is that everyone receiving these vaccines is part of a big public health experiment - one that allows officials to play up the numbers of people who don't report bad reactions, and to dismiss anything else, including deaths.

The good thing is, the H1N1 vaccine has not been mandated for the general public in the U.S. - yet. So, even if the mainstream press continues to ignore the adverse reactions, you can still be an informed consumer by doing your homework and deciding for yourself whether the risks are worth it to you.

And remember while you're doing this homework, as I've said before, it is the state of your immune system that determines whether or not you will get sick if you come in contact with this virus. The virus itself has no special powers to kill or maim.

More Vaccines - and Their Adverse Effects - Coming

Learning everything you can about vaccines will become increasingly essential in the coming months and years, as vaccines are becoming all the rave, and more lucrative than drugs.

The pharmaceutical industry, with government officials' blessings, are planning to roll out vaccines for diseases such as Alzheimer's and AIDS. They're even working on vaccines for addictions to cocaine and nicotine, as if they were infectious diseases!

Then again, we're talking about neither logic nor true medicine here. We're talking about dollars and cents and satisfying shareholders.

In fact, as reported by MSNBC, vaccines now are viewed as "a crucial path to growth," due to lagging prescription drug sales. The article goes on to say:

"Investment in partnerships and other deals to develop and manufacture vaccines has been on a tear - and accelerating since the swine flu pandemic began. Billions in government grants are bringing better, faster ways to develop and manufacture vaccines. Rising worldwide emphasis on preventive health care, plus the advent of the first multibillion-dollar vaccines, have further boosted their appeal.

While prescription drug sales are forecast to rise by a third in five years, vaccine sales should double, from $19 billion last year to $39 billion in 2013, according to market research firm Kalorama Information. That's five times the $8 billion in vaccine sales in 2004.

Success on some vaccines in development, particularly for Alzheimer's and AIDS, likely would bring billions a year in sales."

Emphasis on preventive health care... my foot.

This is one of the most crucial problems with our health care system. Many conventionally trained physicians, not to mention politicians and elected health officials, have NO IDEA what preventive health care is all about.

Vaccines certainly do not qualify.

Just five years ago, pharmaceutical companies abandoned the vaccine business in droves. Now, with the fresh lure of massive profits, companies are flocking back. Multi-million dollar government grants are already being used to test out new technology for the next pandemic, including the "holy grail of flu vaccines" - a universal flu vaccine that targets some part of the flu virus that doesn't change year to year.

I, for one, can wait.

Joseph Moshe (Mossad Microbiologist)

2009-12-06T14:22:00.000-08:00

Joseph Moshe

Today, the MSM are not talking about this case any more. Yesterday, they wanted us to believe that Joseph Moshe was a nutcase and a terrorist, arrested for threatening to bomb the White House. Interesting detail about his arrest (the "Westwood standoff") was that he seemed to be immune to the 5 cans of tear gas and 5 gallons of law-enforcement grade pepper spray they pumped into his face. He very calmly remained in his car, as the video footage of his arrest shows.

Professor Moshe had called into a live radio show by Dr. A. True Ott, (explanation of Joseph Moshe's call at 06:00) broadcast on Republic Broadcasting claiming to be a microbiologist who wanted to supply evidence to a States Attorney regarding tainted H1N1 Swine flu vaccines being produced by Baxter BioPharma Solutions. He said that Baxter's Ukrainian lab was in fact producing a bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. He claimed that the vaccine contained an adjuvant (additive) designed to weaken the immune system, and replicated RNA from the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic Spanish flu, causing global sickness and mass death.

Sources tell us that Bar-Joseph Moshe made no threat against the President or the White House. He did not mention any bomb or attack. He then proceeded to inform the White House he intended to go public with this information. When he noticed men in suits in front of his house and feared that the FBI was about to detain him, he packed some belongings into his car and, him being a dual Israeli citizen, tried to reach the Israeli consulate located in close proximity to the federal building where the standoff took place. The FBI and the bomb squad prevented him from reaching it. Who is this man? His profile on biomedexperts.com says he is a plant disease expert with many publications on his name involving the genetic manipulation of virii. Photographic evidence that Moshe is who he says he is can be found here.

Joseph Moshe was soon after his arrest sent or let go to Israel. Nothing has been heard from him since. The Secret Service was not the agency involved in the surveillance of Moshe at his home in California. This was done by the FBI, who had orders to detain or arrest him. Mounted on top of a large black vehicle used in his arrest was a microwave weapon that possibly damaged the electronics in Moshe's car as well as any communication devices he had which might have been used to contact the media or others who could help him.

Moshe did not suffer the same effects of the gas and pepper spray that others would have because he had built up an immunity to such weapons as a by-product of his Mossad training. Moshe was not handcuffed because he was not placed under arrest.

Does this sound like an insane conspiracy theory? Sure it does. Due to the scarcity and anonimity of the sources we would dismiss it as exactly that, if it weren't for some uncomfortable facts: Baxter Pharmaceutical has been caught, red-handed, in spreading a live, genetically engineered H5N1 Bird flu vaccine as a lethal biological weapon all over the world, destined to be used for human vaccinations. This happened just a few months ago. And only luck prevented a global catastrophe of epic proportions.

Baxter International Inc. had mixed live, genetically engineered avian flue viruses in vaccine material shipped to 18 countries. Only by sheer luck, a Czech laboratory decided to test the vaccine on a dozen ferrets, which all died in days. The World Health Organization was notified and catastrophe was averted. This was clearly a deliberate act on Baxter's part, because they adhere to BS3, bio-safety level three. Baxter admitted a "mistake". Such monumental screwups are totally impossible at that level. Many safety systems would have needed to be sabotaged, many key personell would have needed to be bribed. It simply can't be done without direction from the inside. They did not send out the wrong vial - they produced dozens of gallons of biological-weapon agent (genetically engineered live H5N1 / Bird flu virus), then sent it out as a "vaccine".

Baxter knew full well that their vaccine was lethal, because the year before they had tested it on a few hundred homeless Polish people - dozens died as a result.

Where's the meat? Well - Baxter is now being sued for the deliberate, repeated contamination of vaccines with biological weapons designed - by them - to mass-murder people. Here is the complaint (PDF). By some kook nutcase? Not likely - Jane Burgermeister is an experienced, respected journalist. She is not the only one suing Baxter for planning and executing a plan for global genocide: Others are filing complaints as well. Read a well-researched complaint here (PDF).

Qui bono? We think it may be profit-motivated or even sheer incompetence, but for the conspiracy-minded: The latter complaint alludes to intentional "culling of the herd". Have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? An enormous monument loaded with Masonic symbolism costing millions of dollars, it has been erected by unknown, powerful elites (multimillionaires with the clout to erect monuments wherever they please, obviously) around 30 years ago. It gives an "alternative ten commandments", of which the first is the extermination of six and a half billion people from the face of the Earth. Half a billion will remain. This is the number of people the planet can sustain indefinitely, so that the descendents of the Rothschilds and Rockefellers can live in peace and affluence indefinitely. Slaves are needed to produce that luxury, but 500 million will do just fine. But how does one go about killing off most of the world?

"Vaccinating" the planet with a bioweapon with near-100% mortality would do the trick. Baxter would provide both the bioweapon as well as the vaccine against it to "civilized" Western peoples. Result: We can plunder Africa, we have no more competition from SE Asia, the oil is for our taking and only Western and perhaps Chinese sheeple remain.

Rockefeller said this in 1994 at a U.N. dinner: "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis, and the nations will accept the New World Order." PNAC said something similar right before 9/11.

A Spanish Doctor in Internal Medicine largely agrees with the above article.

Ukraine: H1N1 is not the Problem. Economic Catastrophe Conducive to Deterioration of Health Conditions

2009-12-06T14:15:00.000-08:00

The Ukraine deaths attributed by WHO and Ukraine authorities to an uncontrolled outbreak of H1N1 Swine Flu are not the result of H1N1, a virus whose very existence has never been demonstrated by WHO. The deaths appear to be a consequence of collapsing general health conditions as well as supplies of basic grains. The IMF conditionalities imposed on Ukraine as a precondition for a stabilization loan and not Swine Flu is where we should look for the cause.

Very telling is the fact that since the political decision was made inside the Geneva World Health Organization this past summer to declare an unproven H1N1 Influenza A virus "pandemic level" threat to mankind, earlier WHO warnings about outbreak of Tuberculosis and strains of TB in Ukraine that defy treatment with drugs have mysteriously vanished. Could this be because WHO and the large pharma industry behind it prefer to call it Swine Flu and sell dangerous new untested vaccines laced with possibly deadly or maiming adjuvants?

Under recently revised WHO definitions, death from TB or lung disorders is lumped in the same "cause of death" category as death from influenza. The WHO International Statistical Classification of Diseases, ICD-10, Chapter X, "Diseases of the Respiratory System," Code J09-18, combine under one title: Influenza and Pneumonia. The cause of death from untreated TB is recorded as pneumonia and dumped into J09-18. The suspicion is that this was done for political reasons and that all the deaths reported since April 2009 attributed to H1N1 Influenza A are in fact deaths of patients with severe pulmonary conditions such as TB that has been left untreated resulting in fatal pneumonia. [1]

TB at record levels

In February 2008, the WHO had issued a warning about a deadly spread of TB in Ukraine. According to a Reuters report of February 26, 2008, the WHO stated that "Cases of tuberculosis that defy existing drugs are being recorded globally at the highest rates ever seen, with parts of the former Soviet Union especially vulnerable."

The report continued, "Based on data from 81 countries, the WHO estimated nearly half a million people a year worldwide become infected with a form of TB resistant to two or more of the primary drugs used to treat it. That number accounts for about 5 percent of the 9 million new TB cases annually. Extensively drug-resistant TB, the form that is hardest to treat, was seen in 45 countries and may be present in others because only extremely limited data was available from Africa, the UN health agency said." [2]

"This is my frustration here -- the world is not taking this epidemic seriously," Dr. Mario Raviglione, director of the WHO Stop TB Department, said in a telephone interview. "What the report shows is simply that we are in big trouble in many parts of the world."

The WHO reported then that Russia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Ukraine were among the countries hit hardest by drug-resistant TB. Raviglione attributed this to years of socioeconomic deterioration, dismantling of public health systems, poor living conditions and other factors.

According to the 2008 WHO study the highest rate of so-called multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, or MDR-TB, was recorded in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, where 22 percent of all new TB cases were reported as multidrug-resistant. That's the highest proportion ever recorded in any population. They noted MDR-TB also was unusually common in Moldova (19 percent of new TB cases) as well as parts of Ukraine, Russia and Uzbekistan, the WHO report showed.

The study was the first big WHO report on TB since 2004. The Americas, Central Europe and Africa reported the lowest proportions of MDR-TB, aside from Peru, Rwanda and Guatemala. [3]

As a precondition for its emergency currency stabililzation loan in November 2008 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) demanded and continues to demand that the Ukraine government slash pension payments as well as public spending on health and other services, creating a mass breeding ground for the present outbreak of what are believed to be deaths caused not by H1N1 but by virulent TB.

Harvest disaster

Compounding the crisis is a looming harvest failure in Ukraine, a land once the "bread basket of Europe." According to the authoritative agricultural inspection company, SGS Agricultural Services of Geneva, damage by bugs is a serious problem in this season's Black Sea region wheat crops. They report that damage to the harvest by insects in Ukraine will average a very high 4.6% and that in some parts of Ukraine it is running as high as 80%. [4]

The reason, reports SGS, in addition to climate considerations is the fact that farmers have no money to purchase pesticides because of the national economic crisis. US and EU wheat suppliers are reportedly not unhappy about the Ukraine losses. However it has potentially catastrophic consequences on domestic Ukraine prices for basic bread for the diet and further lowers the nutrition levels of a vulnerable population. Perhaps GlaxoSmithKline should put their energies into discovering a vaccine against the IMF instead.

Foreign Policy: Ukraine's Phantom Swine Flu

2009-12-03T13:34:00.000-08:00

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko

The global swine flu outbreak has become something of a political football in every country where the pandemic has spread, but Ukraine's response to the virus has achieved a new level of blatant politicization. According to a campaign advisor to Yulia Tymoshenko, the Ukrainian prime minister and presidential candidate purposely inflated fears of an ongoing swine-flu epidemic to aid her presidential run.

"We had to create a phantom and then have a white knight riding in to save the day," Taras Berezovets, a senior campaign advisor for Tymoshenko's BYuT bloc, told me in a Kiev restaurant, confirming widespread suspicions among Ukrainian journalists.

Since October, Ukraine has been in the grips of a full-blown panic over swine flu, complete with quarantines, school closures, runs on pharmacies. The Ukrainian health system, already badly dilapidated, was caught off guard and almost 400 people died of the flu in just three weeks.

Tymoshenko flew into action, organizing a delivery of the antiviral drug Tamiflu - and the requisite press conference - at the Kiev airport in the early morning hours of Nov. 2. She quarantined nine regions of the country, closed all schools and universities, and petitioned the president for $125 million in emergency funds to fight what seemed to be "the plague of the 21st-century plague," as one Ukrainian put it. Incidentally, she also banned all mass gatherings and political rallies - after she had already had hers.

Although the World Health Organization concluded that "the numbers of severe cases do not appear to be excessive when compared to the experience of other countries," the call for calm was drowned out by Tymoshenko's drumbeat of action. Pharmacies ran out of surgical masks and medicines as panicked Ukrainians dangerously hoarded supplies.

The fracas couldn't have come at a better time for Tymoshenko, the self-styled heroine of the 2004 Orange Revolution, who was losing the race to the very man the revolution disgraced: Viktor Yanukovich, the Russian-backed candidate. Tymoshenko's second term has been marred by vicious backbiting with her onetime Orange Revolution ally, President Victor Yushchenko, her perceived pandering to Russia on gas deals, and her apparent inability to save Ukraine from the absolute implosion of its economy.

As GDP contracted by over 15 percent in the third quarter of 2009 and Tymoshenko continued to bicker with Yushchenko, her approval ratings plummeted from a high of 47 percent in the spring of 2005 to just 14 percent in October. (And that was an improvement from her summer numbers.) Yanukovich, on the other hand, a man few Ukrainians trust because he twice did jail time for unclear reasons and who was suspected of poisoning Yushchenko, has seen his numbers climb to double that.

Thanks to her vigorous response to a swine-flu panic she herself manufactured, however, Tymoshenko has been steadily catching up, nearly halving the gap in the polls. Outfoxed, Yanukovich tried to return the parry by ordering more surgical masks, but the damage was already done.

But with the WHO concluding that there was nothing unusual about Ukraine's flu outbreak and the government ending the quarantine, saying that the epidemic had peaked after just a few weeks, journalists and political observers have long been questioning whether the swine flu actually affected Ukraine disproportionately or if this was simply a campaign ploy used by the prime minister, a suspicion now confirmed by one of Tymoshenko's top advisors.

When asked for comment on Berezovets's statement, a Tymoshenko spokesperson said, "I have not heard any such information. All I know is that Yulia Volodymyrovna used all the government's powers to prevent the spread of swine flu and the visiting WHO delegation which was here yesterday gave her high marks."

Some observers - including the WHO - point out that, spin job or not, Tymoshenko's energetic response did help put Ukraine's failing health system in some order ahead of an oncoming second wave of swine flu.

But for Tymoshenko's people, the one true benefit is clear. As Berezovets put it, "We won in the media."

FRENCH GOVERNMENT ABOUT TO IMPLEMENT FULL SCALE MARTIAL LAW IN PANDEMIC CRACKDOWN

2009-12-02T15:13:00.000-08:00

The French government is about to move the country to the highest pandemic alert level allowing the implementation of full-scale martial law, according to a report in Le Figaro.

Measures allowed under the country's highest pandemic level, 6, include

*forced vaccination
*forced quarantine/isolation
*compulsory wearing of face masks/respirators for health personnel
*the distribution of plastic body bags for the "deceased"
*a ban on public gatherings
*a ban on transporting documents by courrier
*closure of all schools and education establishments
*restricted movement
*restricted access to hospitals, old people's homes, prisons and other social institutions
*restrictions in transport, also of food and other supplies

The move to pandemic level 6 under WHO's instructions will strip French people of their basic civic rights at a time when the government has set up the infrastructure for the mass vaccination of the entire population by force mobilising military units to work in the special vaccine centers.

Only about 85 people in France have died from the swine flu according to the authorities, far fewer than for the regular flu.

There are no reliable figures for how many of these deaths were really due to the swine flu and how many were seasonal flu deaths reclassified as swine flu deaths by the government as has been proven to have occured in Scotland.

According to the French government, two to three million people have visited their doctor and are suspected of having the swine flu - and this is enough to enact the draconian legislation and move to compulsory vaccination with an untested and toxic jab for which the pharma companies have no liability.

However, this is clearly a fraudulent manipulation of scientific data to justify an illegal and criminal power grab.

People vaccinated in the special vaccine centers in Laxou en Lorraine have left comments on Le Figaro, saying they had to sit for 2 hours on the floor of a gymnasium before being given the swine flu jab in a box measuring one meter by one meter without any curtains and in full of view of everyone else.

"It is shameful!" says the person.

Are the people of France to be subjected to a degrading vaccination with toxic substances causing long term damage and death -- in many cases, indeed, immediate death -- by force in the full sight of the entire world?

And does the government of France, specifically President Nicolas Sarkozy, Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot and Defence Minister Herve Morin, really think they can get away with this mass murder by closing borders and shutting down the internet?

They can not.

We, the People, of The World refuse to allow this crime to occur, and the people responsible to go unpunished.

We refuse to let it occur in France or any country of the globe.

Ukraine, WHO and the Geopolitics of Swine Flu Panic

2009-12-02T13:38:00.000-08:00

Latest reports of what is being called a deadly Swine Flu outbreak in Ukraine according to on sight reports appear to be a political concoction by a threatened government to avoid election defeat and possibly declare martial law. The details indicate how convenient the current WHO "Swine Flu" H1N1 "pandemic" scare is for regimes in trouble.

Worldwide media reports in recent days have painted a picture of Ukraine as being under the Black Plague or worse. Pittsburgh Swine Flu "mapper" Dr Henry Niman had earlier predicted that H5N1 Avian Flu would mutate into a deadly human-to-human pandemic. It didn't.

Niman's map of the spread of alleged H1N1 Swine Flu since April has given the WHO, the US Government and CNN and major media a convenient graphic to create the image of a new type of "bubonic plague" threatening mankind unless we react with massive doses of untested vaccines from Big Pharma.

Early on Niman reported about events in Ukraine: "The rapid rise in reported infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the past few days raise concerns that the virus is transmitting very efficiently...the spike in fatalities and the frequency in hemorrhagic cases in Ukraine have raised concerns." Niman added the alarming note, "The number of infected patients has almost doubled to just under ½ million, compared to the report two days ago."

That's pretty scary stuff. It conjures images of the reports of the Black Death in 1348 which is said to have killed up to 60% of Europe's population. Though that history has been challenged, the image as well as the equally terrifying if incorrect panic image of the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918, are being applied in Ukraine.

Exact information about what is really taking place in Ukraine is far from easy. The country is one of the most politically complex and economically distressed states in Europe. One possible hypothesis, yet to be verified, emerges from the writings of Dr Lawrence Broxmeyer MD.

Broxmeyer suggests that the WHO and CDC wish to divert attention from a worldwide epidemic of tuberculosis, while focusing attention on flu instead. Indeed recently the WHO changed its categories of causes of death to lump death from influenza in the same group as death from tuberculosis and other pulmonary disease. Given the present Swine Flu hysteria, any pulmonary death seems to be reported as "death from H1N1 influenza." In a passing note the report typically notes the patient also suffered from lung problems.

Broxmeyer states, "Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are fully aware of a far more serious and ongoing tuberculosis Pandemic in the world today. Yet they choose to downplay the link, disregarding the similar flu-like symptoms tuberculosis often begins with. WHO freely admits that there were approximately 1.8 million deaths from tuberculosis in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available as well as that presently about one-third of the world's population, or two billion people, carry the TB bacteria."1

Broxmeyer suggests that there is an underestimation of tuberculosis deaths using "flu" as the diversion: "Khomenko's 1993 study showed that the explosive contagiousness of just such influenza-like forms of tuberculosis are exactly the stuff that previous epidemics and pandemics could have been made of... But back in the US, the CDC and NIH seem to feel differently, ignoring everything but "the virus". There was much the same "Influenza" talk when in 1990, a new multi-drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis outbreak took place in a large Miami municipal hospital. Soon thereafter, similar outbreaks in three New York City hospitals left many sufferers dying within weeks. By 1992, approximately two years later, drug-resistant tuberculosis had spread to deadly mini-epidemics in seventeen US states, and was reported, not by the American, but the international media, as out of control. Viral forms of swine, avian and human TB can be transmitted from one species to another."2

He points to the similarities between the onset of the much-cited 1918 "Spanish Influenza" epidemic and that of today. However, as Broxmeyer notes, "a Press Release, issued on August 19, 2008, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), contains a striking finding and conclusion: The 20 to 40 million deaths worldwide from the great 1918 Influenza ("Flu") Pandemic were NOT due to "flu" or a virus, but to pneumonia caused by massive bacterial infection." 3

Reports of low flying aircraft spraying in regions of Ukraine where outbreaks and lung-related deaths reportedly took place cannot be verified. What is clear however is that there is no scientifically rigorous proof of deaths or diseases that can be labeled H1N1 Influenza A in Ukraine.

Reality check?

The WHO, the organization responsible for declaration of the H1N1 Pandemic last summer, allowing governments like the USA and Ukraine to declare martial law and a national state of emergency, suspending all rights and imposing arrests and detentions, has validated the dubious Ukraine claims of out-of-control spread of Swine Flu. A WHO press statement November 3 declared, "Laboratory testing in Ukraine has confirmed pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in samples taken from patients in two of the most affected regions. As the pandemic virus has rapidly become the dominant influenza strain worldwide, it can be assumed that most cases of influenza in Ukraine are caused by the H1N1 virus."

The WHO added, "The outbreak in Ukraine may be indicative of how the virus can behave in the northern hemisphere during the winter season, particularly in health care settings typically found in Eastern Europe. Given the potential significance of this outbreak as an early warning signal, WHO commends the government of Ukraine for its transparent reporting and open sharing of samples." The samples have been sent to the WHO Mill Hill Influenza Reference Lab in London, not exactly inspiring confidence in a scientifically honest report given the record of UK health authorities in manipulating data to please the vaccine giants like GlaxoSmithKline. As of this writing, bizarre enough the WHO has yet to utter a single word of the test results at Mill Hill.

Nonetheless, WHO "strongly recommends early treatment with the antiviral drugs, oseltamivir or zanamivir, for patients who meet treatment criteria, even in the absence of a positive laboratory test confirming H1N1 infection." That means Tamiflu, the highly dangerous drug whose major shareholder includes former Pentagon head Don Rumsfeld. And it means GlaxoSmithKline, maker of the rival Relenza drug.

Ukrainian election geopolitics

The bizarre developments in Ukraine over the past two weeks are being blamed inside the country on intense Ukrainian election politics. In four months national elections in Ukraine are due. Among rival candidates are Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and her chief rival, Arseniy Yatseniuk.

Since Washington financed and organized the 2004 Orange Revolution that brought a pro-NATO Victor Yushchenko in as President, Ukraine politics has been a geopolitical tug-of war between Moscow and Washington. How the current political games around allegations of H1N1 panic play into that tug of war is not yet clear.

The recent speech in Warsaw by Vice President Joe Biden offering Poland and the Czech Republic a "new and improved" version of US anti-missile defense against Russia only four weeks after Obama announced the US was backing out of a controversial earlier missile defense plan for the two eastern European countries underscores the shambles of US strategic policy towards Russia.

Russia has been quick to take advantage as might be expected, as a US missile shield on its borders, as I detail in Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order, gives the US a long-sought nuclear primacy over its only potential strategic rival on the planet. At that point the resistance of the rest of the world to incalculable or objectionable US policies, whether in Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia or wherever, becomes moot.

It's clear Moscow has been working quietly to bring Ukraine, an original part of Kiev Rus, and a strategically essential part of the Russian economy, back into a more friendly "NATO-free" relationship after five years of Orange Revolution chaos in Ukraine under Yushchenko. .

Yatseniuk, a 35 year old former banker and aide to Washington's darling, President Viktor Yushchenko, has charged that Tymoshenko is deliberately fostering unnecessary panic in order to impose martial law and suspend elections that she might well lose to Yatseniuk.

There definitely are political games going on by one or another faction in the economically devastated Ukraine. Oleksandr Bilovol, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Health, claims the outbreak of flu cases in Ukraine has been essentially contained in 11 out of 25 Ukrainian regions, with the number of people allegedly stricken with H1N1 only 15% higher than figures reported in previous years. "Figures in other the regions are in line with 2007 and 2008," Bilovol said. As well the number of reported deaths is also in line with deaths annually attributed to ordinary influenza.

Could it be the reports of Ukraine "Swine Flu" pandemic in Ukraine have more to do with the country's geopolitical location?

Tymoshenko declared the outbreak as the threat of the third level - the highest possible - to unlock spending of up to 3 billion hryvnias to combat the swine flu. Among measures imposed by the decree include shutting down schools and public gatherings for three weeks across Ukraine, with the government also considering introducing restrictions on movement of people between the regions.

Yatseniuk said the ban on public gatherings spreads fear and panic helping Tymoshenko to promote herself on television, while hindering other presidential candidates to campaign.

Yatseniuk is Tymoshenko's biggest rival as both compete for votes in western regions of Ukraine. He is perhaps the only candidate that may challenge Tymoshenko in the first round of vote on January 17, 2010 to enter the runoff with opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych.

Yatseniuk said the panic spread by the government helps overshadow issues politically damaging to Tymoshenko, including pedophile and the murder scandals involving Tymoshenko lawmakers, and Ukraine's dismal economic performance.

Prime Minister Tymoshenko, whatever the real facts of the case, is using the WHO Swine Flu panic scenario to the hilt. In a recent statement, she stated, "We cannot relax even for a moment because the World Health Organization predicts two more waves of flu, including the bird flu, are expected in Ukraine. There is no alternative to vaccination. The entire world is going this way..." A day earlier she admitted she was not vaccinated and that she prefers "like all other people" plans to rely on garlic, onion and lemon as a way of preventing the flu.

Ukraine Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn accuses Tymoshenko as well, declaring, "You've organized the flu epidemic in order to avoid responsibility for not supplying heat to houses, schools, higher educational establishments, and kindergartens," he said in Parliament. And Orange Revolution President, Yushchenko has declared there was no reason for declaring an emergency in Ukraine. "There are no such reasons," Yushchenko said. "I am not a supporter of measures that freeze the country, restrict its operation to levels that is hard to justify."

Ihor Popov, Deputy Chief of Staff to Yushchenko, said that in case of emergency the election, which is due on Jan. 17, 2010, would have to be "rescheduled."

Germany joins Swine Flu corruption

Not only is the Ukrainian government apparently using fears of Swine Flu pandemic to change the domestic political calculus, and President Barack Obama using the fears to impose an unnecessary state of emergency. Now it comes out that the responsible German health authorities are caught in a corrupt conflict of interest with the very pharma giants profiting from government decisions on "anti-swine flu" vaccines.

The recent issue of the German weekly Der Spiegel, reports that members of the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza (ESWI), which claims to be an independent scientific advisory body advising EU member governments on policies regarding H1N1 influenza, is anything but independent.
It's being financed by Big Pharma. ESWI claims it brings together scientific "key opinion leaders in influenza." However the sole financial backers are 10 pharmaceutical companies, including GlaxoSmithKline -- manufacturer of the German swine flu vaccine -- and Roche -- producer of the antiviral drug Tamiflu.

The group lists Walter Haas as one of its scientific advisors. Haas coordinates Germany's flu pandemic preparedness measures at the Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI), the federal institute for disease research. ESWI portrays itself as an independent group of scientists. But even the organization's own statute tells a different story, describing its role as advising politicians and health authorities on "the benefits and safety of influenza vaccines and antivirals" and initiating "a policy for antiviral provisions."

The degree of fraud, deceit, official coverup and outright criminal endangerment of the broad population by the current Swine Flu hysteria is seemingly without precedent.

Superstar CBS Reporter Blows the Lid Off the Swine Flu Media Hype and Hysteria

2009-12-02T13:27:00.006-08:00

In case you didn't realize it, Sharyl Attkisson is the investigative reporter behind the groundbreaking CBS News study that found H1N1 flu cases are NOT as prevalent as feared.

In fact, they're barely on the radar screen.

How did this startling information come about, and why is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) painting a different picture entirely? I spoke directly with Sharyl Attkisson to find out.

Two Videos

The first video is an amazing interview I did with Sharyl about ten days ago and what the bulk of this article is based on.

The second video is brand new and was done at noon yesterday in which I was videoed in the CBS studio in downtown Chicago. Sharyl was gracious enough to invite me to be on with Dr. Bernadine Healy, the former director of the NIH. We both were in agreement about the swine flu and opposed to the stance the CDC is taking, but we had different views on mammograms.

Please also watch the second interview as it is very entertaining.

Getting Started on the Swine Flu Trail

Ms. Attkisson says:

The reason I looked into this is a couple of months ago, I got tips from three or four different segments of public healthcare, with folks telling me the CDC has recommended that they go ahead and stop testing for and counting swine flu cases.

Each different entity that contacted me was concerned, thinking that this should not be happening. They really felt that it was necessary for the swine flu to continue to be tracked in some details. So I went about trying to find out why this decision was made and what the ramifications would be.

... I started by contacting the CDC and the HHS and asking some basic questions. I felt like I pretty much got stonewalled with some of the information I really needed to get at, especially what I needed from the states data, and information on the rationale behind this decision to stop counting and testing for swine flu.

Because the CDC did not initially respond to Attkisson's requests, she contacted all 50 states directly, asking for their statistics on state lab-confirmed H1N1 prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July. She also asked states, one by one, to help explain the rationale behind the CDC's decision to stop tracking H1N1 cases.

Attkisson continues:

One of my good sources within the government said to me that they're either trying to, in his opinion, over-represent the swine flu numbers or under-represent by not counting them anymore. He said, "You need to find out which it is." And so to find out which it might be, I really wanted to see the data that the CDC had at the time it made the decision to quit counting the cases.

What Her Investigative Report Reveals

If you listen to most media outlets and even to government agencies, you get the impression that virtually every person who has visited their physician with flu-like symptoms in recent months has H1N1, with no testing necessary because, after all, there's an epidemic.

We are all being led to believe that every case diagnosed as "swine flu" or even as "flu-like illness" is, in fact, swine flu.

But Attkisson's investigation revealed a very different picture right from her first contact with individual states. She explains:

Across the country, state by state, they were testing [for H1N1] until CDC told them not to bother. They were testing, in general, the cases most likely to be believed to have been swine flu based on a doctor's diagnosis of symptoms and risk factors such as travel to Mexico.

These special cases were going to state labs for absolute confirmation with the best test -- not the so-called "rapid testing," but the real confirmation test.

Of those presumed likely swine flu cases out of approximately every hundred of what was tested, only a small fraction were actually swine flu. In every instance, perhaps the biggest number of cases that were swine flu was something like 30%. The smallest number was something like 2% or 3%.

Maybe there's one state where it was just 1%.

The point is, of the vast majority of the presumed swine flu cases recognized by trained physicians, the vast majority were not flu at all. They weren't swine flu or regular flu; they were some other sort of upper respiratory infection.

And here is the clincher that it seems the CDC just doesn't want the American public to know ...

"The CDC explained that one of the reasons they quit counting was because of all the flu that's out there, most are swine flu. Well, that's true. Most of the flu that was out there was indeed swine flu, but they failed to say that most of the suspected flu was nothing at all. And I think that's the caveat the public just didn't know," Attkisson explains.

She gives even more striking examples of the numbers the investigative report revealed. For instance:

In Florida, 83 percent of specimens that were presumed to be swine flu were negative for all flu when tested!
In California, 86 percent of suspected H1N1 specimens were not swine flu or any flu; only 2 percent were confirmed swine flu.
In Alaska, 93 percent of suspected swine flu specimens were negative for all flu types; only 1 percent was H1N1 flu.

Freedom of Information and Getting the Truth Out

It is not easy for journalists to access this type of information, and they often have to wait weeks, months or even years for information from the CDC and the FDA -- information that is readily available and supposed to be clearly public.

Attkisson expands on the difficulties she faced in trying to get simple data regarding swine flu cases in the United States:

They [CDC's public affairs] quit communicating with me when I pressed on why I couldn't get certain information. They just wouldn't answer my emails anymore. So I had to file a Freedom of Information request, which is usually my last choice because I know I was going into a deep black hole many times and I'll never get an answer.

But in this case, I got an interesting response on October 19 from the CDC when I had asked for some simple, public documents that would have been easy for them to obtain too quickly.

Journalists are allowed to ask for expedited processing of their Freedom of Information request because, for obvious reasons, they're working on a story that may have public impact or be of public interest. The agencies are not supposed to use the Freedom of Information Law to obstruct or delay the release of this information.

This may be the first time I was denied that expedited processing from Freedom of Information that we're entitled to as members of the press; a letter from HHS or Health and Human Services (the CDC is under HHS) said to me that one of the reasons they're denying my expedited processing is because this is not a matter of "widespread and exceptional media or public interest."

In other words, the CDC doesn't think these questions about swine flu prevalence and these other things that we've been asking are, at least in their opinion in this letter, is not a matter of widespread and exceptional media or public interest.

Yet, while the CDC expressed that questions about swine flu prevalence were not a matter of widespread media or public interest, the President had declared the swine flu a national public health emergency!

The inconsistencies at the CDC are nearly incomprehensible.

The Ramifications of the Swine Flu Policy

According to Attkisson's CBS News study, when you come down with chills, fever, cough, runny nose, malaise and all those other "flu-like" symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most 17 percent of the time and as little as 3 percent! The other 83 to 97 percent of the time it's caused by other viruses or bacteria.

So remember that not every illness that appears to be the flu actually is the flu. In fact, most of the time it's not.

Curiously, the CDC still advises those who were told they had 2009 H1N1 (and therefore should be immune to getting it again) to get vaccinated unless they had lab confirmation.

But because very few people have actually had a lab-confirmed case of H1N1 (and in most cases those people told they had swine flu probably did not), this means nearly everyone is still being advised to get the swine flu vaccine.

Attkisson has been one of the few to speak out against this flawed system and point out the serious ramifications that come when a public health agency is secretive about their health data.

Attkisson says:

From a public and journalistic standpoint, I believe the mistake comes when you don't fully disclose to the public as you go and discover the mistakes. Try to disclose and fix things that come up.

Everybody understands that there isn't a perfect system, but I think you need to be upfront with them, explain what you're doing, and explain what you're discovering. If you've made a mistake or you feel like you need to correct something, say that, too, but don't just try to keep information from the public.

I couldn't agree more, and Attkisson's CBS News report has stood out like a bright light of truth among all the clouds of misinformation.

If you'd like to learn more about the report and its findings, you can read all the details in the past article CBS Reveals that Swine Flu Cases Seriously Overestimated.

I got the injection 2 weeks plus..and i can still barely lift my arm. I am so anti-vaccine, but got talked into getting it, as i was going to Las Vegas, and with all the people there, and possible germs it seemed like the best thing to do. I regret it making that decision, and wish I could reverse it somehow. The nurse who injected me told me that the soreness can last for up to 3 weeks. Well 5 days to go to see if she is right or not. Go with your gut! I should have.

I am supposed to be around 11 week pregnant now. I got my H1N1 vaccine on Nov the 10 th and I started bleeding 2 weeks later. I had ultrasound done which showed that my baby stopped growing at around 8 weeks and this is called missed abortion. I have to go through a medical or surgical approach to remove it. I am not sure if the vaccine was the cause. I feel so sad.
NH

I took the h1n1 shot on Nov.24/09. I had an immediate reaction to it. I wasn’t aware or warned that the h1n1 shot was a heavy needle. I started to get a light fever and head aches. Around the afternoon, my condition got worse. I was in-and-out of cold-and-hot chills, vomiting, fits, and passing out. I had it three times that same night from the shot. When I passed out my muscles tightened. I was going in-and-out of chills all night. I had ended-up in Surrey Memorial Emergency room all night. I told them that I took the h1n1 shot, but they didn’t seem to concern about it or the reactions people were getting from it. At 1 pm they gave me iv. When I saw the doctor he gave me graval with my iv. It has helped my stomach. The following night I had a fever and the next day I had a head-ache.
The news media is urging people to get the shot, but hasn’t explained the side effects of the shot very well. I had no allergic reaction to egg shell. I thought I was doing the right thing by taken the shot, but now I’m not too sure now.
Reef

This is antecdotal, but it frustrates me that none of these “reactions” will likely be reported.
Close friend – whole family got H1N1 shot, 3 year old daughter immediately got dizzy, very pale, had to lie down, recovered, they let her leave after about 1/2 hour, developed fever and bad cough within 24 hours, the rest of the family very sore at injection site still (weeks later).
Another very close friend – whole family got the shot, within a few days of getting the shot, the mom, 2 yo and 4 yo all came down with a very bad chest cold, flu symptoms, very high fevers, chills, shakes, etc. The mom’s cough turned to bronchitis, never cleared, 2 weeks later it turned in to bacterial pneumonia, she ended up in hospital for 3 days, tested positive for H1N1 (clearly the shot did not work…). Husband had soreness around the injection site and achey and tired for a few days.
Another friend – whole family got the shot, all of them developed very high fevers, coughs, chills, aches, the mother’s lasted over 2 weeks and turned to bronchitis. She is still recovering and has trouble raising her arm.

Side effects right after I received the H1N1 vaccine were—–
Swollen tongue,rash, headache,fatigue,stiff muscles,hard to breath,dizziness,pain in shoulders and neck area. I went to the doctor and they gave me tamiflu to take. I am feeling better now but I will not get that shot again.

I work for health and social services in Montreal so recoeved the regular H1N1 vacine early…Nov 12th because of the nature of my job. I had a large hard painful lump on my arm and by Nov 19th my whole arm started to hurt. It continued to worsen and by the 24th I was in extreme pain, couldn’t move my arm and my hand was swollen and discoloured. The nurse at work told me to go to the doctor asap. They did an ultrasound of my arm and found dead muscle tissue and ‘acute’ inflamation at the injection sight. They did blood tests and it is not infected but they are concerned that it might turn into an abcess.
I have been off work since tuesday Nov 24th. I spoke to the nurse at work today and she told me that I may not get workmans comp for my time off work (which isn’t over yet) because it was my choice to get the shot.
We were given a three hour training convincing us why we had to get it and the shot was given at work…now all of a sudden since I had a reaction, it’s my fault!!!!
It has been over 2 weeks…I can barely move my arm and am on pain killers. Hope it gets better soon. The hospital said they haven’t seen this reaction and they don’t know what will happen.

I had the swine flu vaccination Friday, November 20th at a clinic in St.John’s, Newfoundland. Approximatly 10-30 seconds after the shot, just as soon as I entered the recovery room to wait 15 minutes I had a horrible reaction. It felt like my head started to tingle, then this same tingle went down my arms and my legs, up and down. It was very scary, then I started to wobble like I couldn’t walk and was feeling over-heated. At the time I felt like I was going to lose consciousness, started feeling emmense anxiety about it all. I never had such a strange feeling in my body before. All that night I felt wiped out, and I’ve been feeling that way for the past week now (as it’s been a week since I got the shot). Also I could taste the vaccine in my nose and mouth-if that makes any sense. Sometimes even now still I get this chemical taste, as if it was the vaccine.
I regret getting the shot, I let fear make my decision for me. We really don’t know if it’s safe at this point. As I said I have been feeling very fatigued since, and I’m quit concerned about my health. My husband had the shot at the same time, and hasn’t felt any adverse symptoms. My 6-year old daughter got the shot November 4th, and she’s been fine as well. So I don’t know what caused my problems but it’s been a nightmare.
Also I got a piece of paper (I didn’t notice at the time) and it said something about the vaccine coming from Australia. Maybe I got that dosage. The nurses there didn’t even fill out my husband’s vaccine form, just ticked off second dose on the paper. Geez you think they could do better than that.
Anyways I’d be interested to hear from others with similiar complaints.
Thanks

I received the normal flu shot on November 22, 2009. I am from Alberta. After receiving the vaccine, I was told to wait for the usual 15 minutes. During that time, I felt the oddest feeling in the back of my neck. I was sure I was going to faint, and put my head down between my knees. After a bit, I raised up, but I couldn’t seem to focus my eyes properly, so I thought maybe I should try and get some fresh air. I stood outside for a bit, and leaned up against the building. Still had that odd feeling, but I was feeling a little bit better, so went home.
During the rest of the day, I was a little sluggish, and my arm was unbelievably sore, but I thought…heck, I am going to be fine. At about 5 am in the morning, I awoke with that odd feeling again. My eyes felt funny, so I fiddled around, and found the light switch…Lord, wrong thing to do!…
I almost screamed with the pain. I was light sensitive, and upon finally getting my eyes to open, they felt like I had sandpaper in them. I was wobbly, and my lips felt like rubber, so I went downstairs to the mirror, where I could not believe what was in front of me.
The whites of my eyes were scarlet! My eyes, face, lips were swollen. I was not having breathing problems, so I went and sat down. No way was I going back to sleep! For the next day, I did not have feeling in my face or lips. Then slowly it started returning. I figured I was okay then, except for the arm that at this point I could not move or raise. “I was wrong.”
It started with the headache, then the swollen glands on both sides of my neck, that when I swallowed felt like I had two large marbles in my throat. To go along with it, each swallow was extremely painful, like I had cut glass in my throat. (The swollen glands are still occuring and that was over 4 weeks ago). I had tingling in my feet, legs and hands. Stomach cramps so bad that I cried. My left arm felt like it had water running down it. Since then, I have had severe hand cramps that make my hand swell and unable to use for 2 days at a time. I get “pins and needles” in my fingertips.
Needless to say, I am worried about why I am not getting rid of these symptoms. The nurse told me that I had had an Adverse Reaction to the vaccine. In the last week, I have been having “brain fog”…that is the only way I can explain this. I am not confused, but am doing things that are not normal to my character. Like going to the Post Office and after getting a parcel ready to be sent, I walk away without paying. Did it at the grocery store the other day as well…
I am 57 years of age, a young-at-heart grandmother, art teacher, lift weights and do resistant training…for starters. Reading your comments here has helped me realize that I am not the only one reacting to this.
As a note, the nurse that told me that did not make out a report of any kind. I was just told to be at the clinic in Vermilion, a week later, for my H1N1 shot. That I likely would be ok. I did go, because I was told that I fit into the risk category, because I had a bacterial infection attack my lungs 5 years ago. Had no problems, except for an extremely sore arm, but am quite worried about my strange forgetfulness as of late.

I got the H1N1 vaccine on Friday, November 6. My arm was hurting quite a lot within hours of getting the shot. My arm really hurt the next day and for almost a week after – hurt enough that it woke me up at night sometimes. My arm did swell a bit and was warm and very, very itchy where they injected me.
The funny thing is this – and I didn’t even make the connection until yesterday…until yesterday I was feeling unusually tired and draggy…feeling foggy and not with it….just wanted to sit on the couch and do nothin – I woudl have to say that I even felt depressed – it was really, really weird ( I have nothing to be depressed about – my life is pretty awesome)…I wasn’t sleeping anymore than usual…just sitting on the couch with absolutely no energy – this drove me crazy but what bothered me the most was that I was foggy all of the time – I hated it….felt very disconnected from what was going on around me and couldn’t shake it…finally, miraculously, yesterday I felt like my old self again and I still feel well again today…I’m just afraid whatever I had is going to come back ….the only thing that makes any sense to me is that I had some kind of reaction from the H1N1 vaccination…or maybe I’m just crazy!

My 80 year old father received both the seasonal flu vaccine last month and a few days ago the HINI vaccine. After the first vaccine he experienced flu-like symptoms for a week and was extremely irritable, grouchy, short-tempered. This man is normally in good humor and a quick wit. I had hoped he would think twice before getting another vaccine but he went ahead anyway. He has been experiencing severe cramps and diarrhea since yesterday. My 5 year old niece who received the shot has been complaining about pain in her lower leg and foot. After the shot she said her “brain hurt”. Her way of expressing a bad headache. As for her 2 year old sister she has mild rash on her face. She is too young to tell us how she is feeling but I noticed she was screaming and crying a lot and this at her birthday party. As for the rash on the baby’s face that is still there after two weeks; it was dismissed as “impossible.” I’m worried we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg here and have no idea about long term consequences.
This is third hand testimony but a friend was called to the hospital because her granddaughter experienced anaphylaxis. She was sent home and was off school for a week. Our town’s public health officer meanwhile reported to the press there had been no serious adverse reactions.

I got the shot a week ago tonight, Nov. 17th at 7:45pm. Within a minute or two I felt severe nausea and dizziness, and preceded to faint. The nurses at the clinic were helpful and once they got my feet up I came to…the next series of events is hard to explain as I lay weak on the floor I was told my blood pressure was incredibly low and they feared I was having a serious allergic reaction. They gave me a major adrenaline shot to get my pulse up (it worked–too well). The next thing I knew I was in an ambulance on my way to emergency with a suspected heart attack. I am 40 and very healthy–a serious runner. To cut the story short–the hospital spent the next 6 hours seeing if I did have a heart attack (EKGs, CT Scans). I didn’t, the senior cardiologist said it was likely a major fainting episode brought on by the allergy or an anxiety attack….I wish this was the end of the story. Since I was released, I missed 3 days of work with severe tiredness and head grogginess. Each day I would go through 3 or 4 “bad patches” where I felt I was about as hungover as I ever have been. I have been monitoring my fever and i have yet to have one. This is weird as I do feel like I have the flu. In essence I feel uneasy about everything for a while and then my head clears and I feel “normal” for a while (usually at night). I had a good day yesterday with only 15 minutes of a bad patch, then today felt wiped out and fuzzy almost all day.
I wish I knew how long this would last or how to flush my body. I have found doing a daily walk has helped clear my head, as has drinking a lot of water and eating (even if not hungry).
I should note my little 2-yr old girl got it with no symptoms, which is perplexing.

I got the H1N1 shot eight days ago on Nov 16th. I was very apprehensive but since I work in the emergency services sector, they offered immunization without the long line-ups, it seemed almost everyone was going so I joined the majority. That night, my arm was so sore, I couldn’t sleep, it felt like someone lit a line drive into my upper arm without exaggeration. I haven’t felt well since…weak, tired, just not myself. I’m getting worried because my arm is still so sore that I try not to use it. I’m living on Ibruprofen and thinking that I made a huge mistake getting this thing. If I could take it back, I would.

Russia Could Withdraw from WHO Over Swine Flu Corruption

2009-11-29T05:15:00.000-08:00

A Russian deputy of the Duma has called for Russia to withdraw from the WHO if an investigation into the alleged collusion between the WHO and pharmaceutical companies on the swine flu scandal proves to be accurate, according to reports in the European media.

Igor Barinov, Member of the Commission of the State Parliament (Duma) in Charge of Corruption, said that there needed to be an investigation into whether experts advising WHO received money from pharmaceutical industry and whether this influenced WHO to declare a pandemic level 6 emergency for the first time in 40 years in spite of the fact that the swine flu is neither lethal nor spreading rapidly.

Danish journalists belonging to "Information" concluded that the swine flu could be the biggest case of corruption in our era after examining links between experts of WHO and the pharmaceutical companies.

WHO recommended the purchase of the controversial Swiss-based Roche’s Tamilfu in spite of evidence the drug causes serious side effects. The Ukrainian ministry for health bought large and excessive stocks of Tamiflu.

“The organization is suspected of corruption. We certainly must carry out a meticulous inquiry before making any decision,” Barinov declared on Friday to journalists.

“If the information is confirmed, we will have to put the question of whether it makes sense for Russia to belong to WHO, and to suspend our membership if necessary”.

Russia has spent more than 4 billion roubles so far on the swine flu.

Barinov suggested making the head of the investigation of WHO, the Russian representative in this organization, the member of the executive committee of WHO, Vladimir Starodoubov.

“Nobody calls into question the services rendered in the 20th century by WHO in the fight against the malaria, AIDS, but today it should asked whether this organization is not struck itself by the virus of corruption, and up to what point these recommendations are founded, up to what point can we trust it,” said Barinov.

The director of the Russian National Sanitary Surveillance Institute Guennadi Onichtchenko said in a meeting with the general prosecutor of the federation of Russia for legislation in the pharmaceutical field that the fight against the swine flu in the world has the characteristics of a plot.

La Russie pourrait suspendre son adhésion à l’OMS
samedi 28 novembre 2009 (09h54)

Grippe A : un député de « Russie unie » demande que la Russie suspende son adhésion à l’OMS (newsru.com 28-11-2009)

Article repris sur le site du KPRF sous le titre : Encore un sale coup des capitalistes, ou comment les laboratoires pharmaceutiques se font une fortune grâce à la « grippe porcine »

Il est absolument urgent de vérifier les informations parues dans les médias occidentaux sur la collusion présumée entre l’organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et les compagnies pharmaceutiques. Si ces soupçons étaient confirmés, la Russie pourrait suspendre son adhésion à l’organisation, déclare Igor Barinov, membre de la commission de la douma d’État en charge des affaires de corruption.

D’après certaines sources, les experts de l’OMS ont reçu de l’argent des compagnies pharmaceutiques, et c’est ce qui aurait conduit cette organisation, pour la première fois depuis plus de 40 ans, à déclarer officiellement le niveau six d’alerte de pandémie en rapport avec la diffusion mondiale rapide de la grippe A/H1N1. Ce sont des journalistes du journal danois Information qui, après avoir étudié les liens des experts de l’OMS avec les grandes compagnies pharmaceutiques mondiales, en ont conclu que la pandémie de grippe porcine pourrait être l’affaire de corruption la plus grandiose de notre époque.

L’OMS, après avoir déclaré l’état de pandémie de grippe porcine dans le monde, a dans une première étape recommandé fortement à tous les pays d’utiliser dans la lutte contre le virus le produit Tamiflu des laboratoires suisses. Rappelons que ce produit a suscité des critiques en Russie à cause de ses effets secondaires possibles. En même temps, le ministère de la santé ukrainien a été accusé de faire des achats excessifs et injustifiés de Tamiflu.

D’après Barinov, la Russie ne peut rester indifférente aux accusations portées contre l’OMS. « L’organisation est suspectée de corruption. Nous devons absolument mener une enquête minutieuse avant de prendre toute décision » - a-t-il déclaré vendredi aux journalistes. « Si l’information est confirmée, nous devrons poser la question du bien-fondé de la participation de la Russie de l’OMS, et le cas échéant suspendre notre adhésion ».

D’après les chiffres qu’il cite, la Russie a dépensé pour la lutte contre le nouveau virus plus de 4 milliards de roubles, qui, selon le député, auraient pu être dépensés à meilleur escient, annonce RIA Novosti.

Barinov a suggéré de faire mener l’enquête à l’OMS par le représentant russe dans cette organisation, le membre du comité exécutif de l’OMS Vladimir Starodoubov. « Personne ne remet en cause les services rendus au XXe siècle par l’OMS dans la lutte contre la malaria, la variole, le sida, mais aujourd’hui il faut se demander si cette organisation n’est pas frappée elle-même par le virus de la corruption, et dans quelle mesure ces recommandations sont fondées, dans quelle mesure on peut lui faire confiance » - estime le député.

De son côté, le directeur de l’institut de veille sanitaire Guennadi Onichtchenko, prenant la parole vendredi à une conférence du parquet général de la fédération de Russie consacrée au respect de la législation dans le domaine pharmaceutique, a déclaré lui aussi que la lutte contre la grippe porcine dans le monde prend l’allure d’un complot.

French Parents Write Open Letter Advising Against Signing Swine Flu Jab Consent Form

2009-11-28T11:52:00.000-08:00

French parents have published an open letter giving facts and evidence to show that GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix swine flu jab is not adequately tested, and advising them not to sign "consent" forms for their children to be given the vaccine at school.

The open letter comes as the French government steps up its mass vaccination plans and parents around the country are receiving forms asking them to give their formal consent to kids to be given the jab, a step that will prohibit them from claiming compensation from pharmaceutical companies in the future for any damage caused by the jab.

The letter notes that parents have not been given adequate information by the government as to the potential side effects of the vaccine, and also that some regions in France have already announced the pandemic is over without a vaccination campaign.

The letter in French can be found here:

"OPEN LETTER TO ALL PARENTS OF PUPILS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE ASSOCIATIONS

Today, 25 November 2009, we are being instructed by the national education authorities to fill out a form designed to allow vaccination of our children in schools, outside any standard framework.

Yesterday, we learned that the Canadian authorities noting along with the World Organization of Health an abnormal number of serious allergic reactions (including a fatal case) is about to make an emergency withdrawal of a batch of vaccines Arepanri produced by the Laboratory GSK.

Reading the official documents intended to authorize the vaccines Arepanrix in Canada and Pandemrix in France, we note that, contrary to what has been stated too quickly, these two vaccines are identical, with only different names :

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodpharma/legislation/interimorders-arretesurgence/prodinfo-vaccin-fra.php

In addition, on 19 February 2009, the Advisory Committee for vaccines an biological products associates of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration responsible to the United States of the evaluation and authorisation of medicines) met for a public hearing.

On this occasion, Dr Vaughn, representative of GSK, said: "while we have a great experience in matters of security profile for the classical inactivated vaccine against the seasonal influenza among children of more than six months, there is in general, very limited experience concerning the safety profile of the ASO3 among the child. » (AS03 designates squalene, which is in the French and Canadian GSK vaccine…)"

...........................................................................

LETTRE OUVERTE A TOUS LES PARENTS D’ÉLÈVES ET A LEURS ASSOCIATIONS

REPRÉSENTATIVES

Ce jour, 25 novembre 2009, nous sommes enjoints par l’éducation nationale de

remplir un formulaire visant à autoriser la vaccination de nos enfants dans les

établissements scolaires, en dehors de tout cadre habituel.

La veille, nous apprenions que les autorités canadiennes, constatant avec

l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé, un nombre anormal de réactions allergiques

graves (dont une mortelle) viennent de retirer en urgence un lot de vaccins

Arepanrix produit par le Laboratoire GSK.

A la lecture des documents officiels destinés à autoriser les vaccins Arepanrix

au Canada et Pandemrix en France, nous constatons que, contrairement à ce qui a

été affirmé précipitamment, ces deux vaccins sont identiques, seuls les noms

diffèrent :

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodpharma/legislation/interimorders-arretesurgence/prodinfo-vaccin-fra.php

De plus, le 19 février 2009, le Comité Consultatif pour les Vaccins et les

Produits Biologiques Associés de la FDA (Food and Drug Administration, chargée

aux États-Unis de l’évaluation et de l’autorisation des médicaments) s’était

réuni pour une audition publique. A cette occasion, le Dr Vaughn, représentant

de GSK, a déclaré : « Alors que nous avons une grande expérience en matière de

profil de sécurité pour le vaccin classique inactivé contre la grippe

saisonnière chez les enfants de plus de six mois, il y a en général, une

expérience très limitée concernant le profil de sécurité de l’ASO3 chez

l’enfant. » (l’AS03 désignant le squalène contenu dans les vaccins français et

canadiens de GSK)

Par ailleurs, le formulaire qui est remis au parent vise ostensiblement à leur

extorquer leur consentement :

Comme il l’a été relevé par la rédaction du journal télévisé de France2 (23

novembre2009 / 13 heures) la case « Non » aurait été « oubliée », l’éducation

nationale prétend qu’il s’agit « d’une erreur ».

Il est préalablement demandé de cocher une case à côté de laquelle figure la

mention « J’ai reçu une information sur le vaccin et la vaccination (cochez la

case si la réponse est oui) »

Cette « information » fait référence aux feuillets qui accompagnent le

formulaire. Or, il ne s’agit pas d’information, attendu que tous ces feuillets

incitent à répondre « Oui » à la question qui suit : « et donne mon accord à la

vaccination... » alors que l’information minimale que les parents sont en droit

d’attendre est précisément le nom et la composition du vaccin, telle qu’elle

figure dans le tableau ci-dessus, pour réellement décider en toute connaissance

de cause quelles substances peuvent être inoculées à leurs enfants.

Enfin, en suivant l’évolution des cas de grippes relevés officiellement par le

réseau Sentinelle, il ressort que certaines régions françaises, (voir par

exemple les cartes de la région Poitou-Charentes pour les semaines 45 puis 46)

sont sorties de la situation épidémique sans aucune campagne de vaccination

systématique. Les récents communiqués de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé

comme les données des services d’urgence français (Assistance publique -

Hôpitaux de Paris) amènent à conclure que le pic de l’épidémie aurait déjà été

atteint et que la baisse du nombre de cas se produit avant que les populations

ne soient vaccinées.

En conséquence, et en considération de l’article 223-6 du code Pénal réprimant

la non assistance à personne en danger, je demande :

A tous les parents de répondre « Non » au formulaire. A ceux qui souhaitent,

malgré tout, faire vacciner leurs enfants, d’exiger un vaccin ne présentant pas

les risques du Pandemrix.

Aux organisations représentatives des parents d’élèves de demander

officiellement au Ministre de l’Éducation Nationale de sursoir à toute

vaccination dans l’attente des investigations en cours sur les réactions

allergiques graves constatées dans d’autres pays, ceci en application du

principe de précaution inscrit dans la Constitution, de faire étudier les

vaccins proposés par des experts réellement indépendants des fabricants,

d’informer correctement les parents, notamment en faisant figurer la composition

complète des vaccins sur les formulaires.

J’invite tous les parents d’élèves qui le souhaitent à co-signer et diffuser

cette lettre.

French army to be used in swine flu vaccination center

2009-11-28T11:44:00.000-08:00

The French army’s medical corps is to help carry out vaccinations in the country’s 1080 vaccine centers, according to an announcement by the French Ministry of Interior today, Saturday.

The army is being called in along with doctors and other health care personnel to operate the controversial centers and administer the untested swine flu jab in spite of -- or because of?-- evidence of a low voluntary up take of the jab among the population.

According to French government figures only about 300,000 people have taken the jab so far in spite of extreme pressure from the health ministry and daily media hype about the alleged dangers of the swine flu.

A French government document leaked in August revealed plans by Health Minister Roselyn Bachelot to vaccinate the entire population between the end of September and January in the specially established centers, many of which have extra security features.

Also, documents from the Justice Ministry showed that plans were in place to allow the imprisonment of people for up to six months without being charged under the pretext of controlling a pandemic emergencies.

This week, French police intervened to shut down a school by force in spite of protests by the local Mayor and school director, who said there was no evidence of a swine flu pandemic in their school.

400 schools in France have been shut in the past couple of weeks as the government propagates the myth of a country under siege from the swine flu.

The decision to draft in the highly controversial French medical corps, which has played a key role in guarding and distributing the swine flu jabs, will raise fears in France that the government is using the pandemic as an excuse to hollow out civic rights and that the move to a compulsory vaccination of the population is on the cards.

Slovenia: Patient's heart stops after H1N1 shot

2009-11-27T13:35:00.000-08:00

Slovenian health authorities say a 77-year-old woman was hospitalized when her heart stopped minutes after she received a swine flu shot.

Health Minister Borut Miklavcic said late Thursday that authorities are still investigating whether the patient's heart problem was caused by the vaccination.

The patient, whose identity has not been published in line with privacy laws, is being treated at the hospital.
Two people have died in Slovenia from swine flu and hundreds of others tested positive so far.

The country launched a free vaccination program two weeks ago with a vaccine from Glaxo Smith Kline. So far, about 30,000 people in the country of 2 million have been vaccinated.

Swine Flu Vaccine: Physicians' Rejection of the Injection

2009-11-27T13:30:00.000-08:00

© Mercola.com

One senior physician at Pediatric Village is refusing to recommend H1N1 shots or nasal spray to any of her patients. She is one of a small cadre of outliers who remain skeptical about the government's unprecedented immunization campaign, citing doubts about the risks presented by the H1N1 virus or the safety of the vaccine.

"My feeling is that this is all being over-hyped," said Laurence J. Murphy, a pediatrician in Burke who also will not inoculate his patients. "Most people who get this virus do beautifully. I believe the vaccine hasn't been tested enough. I just think the benefit of it at this point is not outweighed by the possible risk."

Murphy said he has no reason to think the vaccine is unsafe -- he, like many of the skeptics, said he generally supports vaccinations. But he wonders whether it was tested enough.

"They just didn't have the time to do that properly. They mean well and they are not doing anything to mislead people in any direct way. The reality is no one knows. I'm not pretending to know. I don't think they should pretend to know," he said.

"What bothers me is pretty much every doctor in the country is jumping on the bandwagon and saying, 'This vaccine is completely safe' -- even for the pregnant woman and the unborn baby," said Bob Sears, of Orange County, Calif. "But they can't give you a single study that backs up that statement."

Scientists working to understand the genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus that causes the disease have linked it to a virus behind a 1998 swine flu outbreak at an industrial hog farm in Sampson County, North Carolina's leading hog producer. A virus related to the current outbreak was first identified a decade ago at a farm in the eastern North Carolina County.

The 1998 North Carolina outbreak began with pregnant sows developing high fevers. A state microbiologist who tested nasal samples taken from the animals was surprised to encounter a virus he didn't recognize -- and his alarm grew when he found that some of the sick animals had been immunized for ordinary swine flu.
The H1N1 virus behind the current flu outbreak contains genetic material from birds, humans and pigs, though it's called "swine flu" because it's a type of virus that typically infects hogs.

If nothing else, the latest swine flu outbreak should spur governments to begin building a safer, more sustainable agricultural structure. And they must reach across national lines to do so, since neither agribusiness nor viruses are held back by borders.

Facing South 2009

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

You’ve likely seen the images in the news, and perhaps even personally -- long lines of people, including children and pregnant women, waiting to be the latest guinea pig to receive the swine flu vaccine.
If you read only the headlines, you’re left with the impression that the biggest tragedy is not enough vaccine to go around, and may even shake your head that “high-risk” groups like children and people with asthma are being turned away.
But then through all the fanfare come a few quiet, and sometimes not so quiet, voices of reason. Voices from doctors who are NOT recommending the swine flu vaccination for their patients because it is just too new and untested.
Voices from health care workers who say they will also refuse the swine flu vaccine because of potential side effects and questions about the vaccine’s efficacy.
And voices from mothers, fathers and pregnant women alike who have opted to not get the vaccine for themselves or their children because the risks appear to greatly outweigh any benefits.
And it is this growing group of voices that is now starting to give the latest propaganda techniques used to frighten you into accepting a swine flu vaccine, a real run for their money!

Why Are Doctors and Health Care Workers Refusing the Swine Flu Vaccine?

In May of this year researchers distributed 810 questionnaires to public hospital workers. Less than half of the nearly 400 workers who returned the questionnaires intended to accept H1N1 vaccination.
This is very telling, though not surprising considering the majority of health care workers also refuse the seasonal flu shot.
The most common reason given for refusal, and rightfully so, was potential side effects, followed by questions about the vaccine’s efficacy.
Even among a focus group of 85 people, very few said they would get vaccinated in the event of a pandemic. Again, many noted the risks involved in using newly developed vaccines that are rushed to market as a primary concern. Many also believed, correctly I might add, that they could protect themselves through their own behavior, including:
Frequent handwashing
Staying away from crowded places and sick people
Eating well to maintain their immune system
Further, a revealing article written by Richard Gale, a former Senior Research Analyst in the biotechnology and genomic industries, and Dr. Gary Null, author of Vaccine Nation, stated:
“Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh criticisms of the government’s plan to vaccinate virtually the entire U.S. population with a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more people than it helps.”
Fortunately, this site, and many others seeking to shed light on this deceptive manipulation of facts about the swine flu, are having a significant influence, and people are refusing to believe the government propaganda.
Vaccine safety advocates everywhere are beginning to make a serious dent. According to a recent Fox News poll, the majority of people in the U.S. now believe the swine flu vaccine may be deadlier than the actual virus.

Weighing the Risks versus the Benefits

Any time you opt for a medical procedure, including vaccination, you must decide whether the risks outweigh the benefits. There are always risks of any procedure, and in the case of the H1N1 vaccine, the risks are potentially steep.
Senior neurologists sent a confidential letter to the UK government warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS attacks the lining of your nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
German lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has also come out about even more potential health risks associated with the swine flu vaccine. According to Dr. Wodarg, the swine flu vaccine contains animal cancer cells, and there’s no data indicating whether or not this may cause an allergic reaction when injected.
It also raises questions about the risk of contracting cancer.
Likewise, Johannes Löwer, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, believes the side effects of the vaccine can be far worse than the actual swine flu virus, which typically causes only mild symptoms, requiring just a few days in bed.

Swine Flu Cases are being Greatly Exaggerated

Now that we’ve looked at the risks, so what are the benefits? When you consider how over-hyped the swine flu “pandemic” really is, not much.
It amazes me that despite all the evidence to the contrary, health officials and mass media are still saying the swine flu could kill some 90,000 Americans -- if we don’t all get vaccinated.
There is simply NO evidence to support this outlandish projection. The evidence actually points to the exact opposite, that this season will have LESS deaths from flu than last year.
The data is very clear that it’s a milder than normal virus. Only a few percent of all cases with the designation “swine flu” are actually the H1N1 virus. In the Southern Hemisphere, people got over the wave of the flu just fine, before the vaccine even became available.
As of August 30, 2009, the CDC ceased testing and counting actual H1N1 virus infections. As of that date, any and all cases or deaths of people exhibiting “flu like symptoms” are automatically tallied as an “H1N1 case,” artificially driving up the perceived threat.
The CDC’s public explanation is that they are convinced a pandemic is underway and, therefore, accurate monitoring is unnecessary because it’s so widespread, world-wide.
However, as I’ll show you in just a moment, this is simply not true! Yes, the H1N1 virus has appeared world-wide, but it is not the CAUSE of most flu like illness and death. In fact, the H1N1 virus is a tiny player, causing very little trouble.
CBS News, after conducting a three-month investigation into the swine flu statistics, uncovered a number of very sobering facts that clearly show this swine flu pandemic for the cruel hoax it really is.
What did they find? CBS reported:
"The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico."
According to the CBS News study, when you come down with chills, fever, cough, runny nose, malaise and all those other "flu-like" symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most, 17 percent of the time, and as little as 3 percent! The other 83 to 97 percent of the time it's caused by other viruses or bacteria.
So remember that not every illness that appears to be the flu actually is the flu. In fact, most of the time it's not.
Curiously, the CDC still advises those who were told they had 2009 H1N1 (and therefore should be immune to getting it again) to get vaccinated unless they had lab confirmation.

Is the Real Source of the Swine Flu Related to Filthy Factory Farms?

It is interesting to note that scientists working to understand the genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus have linked it to a virus behind a 1998 swine flu outbreak at a massive industrial pig farm in North Carolina.
The Raleigh News & Observer cited Raul Rabadan, a Columbia University scientist who's studying the new virus's genetics, who said:
"This virus was found in pigs here in the United States. They were getting sick in 1998. It became a swine virus.
It spread among pregnant sows in Newton Grove, N.C., causing them to abort their litters. The virus then spread to pigs in Texas, Iowa and Minnesota -- putting epidemiologists on alert about the new viral strain and the potential for a human outbreak.”
When North Carolina public health officials tested workers at the pig farm back in 1998, 10 percent of workers had developed antibodies to the virus, which means they had been infected but not become ill.
If it’s true that this latest hysteria over swine flu can, in fact, be traced back to a factory farm, it raises a whole new set of issues that are being completely ignored by both government officials and the media.
As the Humane Society of the United States pointed out:
“When thousands of pigs are overcrowded into cramped stalls and pens inside massive, unsanitary, warehouse-like sheds, it's a veritable breeding ground for disease. As the former executive director of the Pew Commission on Industrial Animal Farm Production described, "Industrial farms are super-incubators for viruses."”
And the people working at those farms can easily become a bridge for the viruses to reach the general population.
So instead of waging a giant media campaign geared toward getting the entire U.S. population a swine flu vaccination, what public health officials and government should be doing is waging a war against agribusiness giants that are perpetuating this kind of unnatural and unhealthy form of food production.
Natural methods, once again, will prove to be the answer here, and should be used to grow any food you buy as well as form the basis of your flu prevention lifestyle.

Man dies in Sweden from the flu shot - now 9 official deaths

2009-11-26T12:32:00.000-08:00

Aftonbladet reports that a man in his fifties died after having received the Pandemrix swine flu shot. He had been through a heart transplant operation and the shot made his body reject the new heart. Authorities in Sweden are now afraid fewer will want to take the vaccine.

"- It can not be said it was wrong to vaccinate this man. We do write on our home page that people who have been through heart transplants belong to the risk group and should get vaccinated. But we have new knowledge now which we can learn from." says Ingemar Persson, case investigator at the Swedish Medical Products Agency. "- The vaccine is the direct or indirect cause of this mans death." he continues.

Several involved agencies and departments will hold a press conference today to try to calm down worried citizens and again claim that the vaccine is "tested and safe".

The official death toll in Sweden is now nine but our sources claim there might be as many as 80 deaths. Then there are also many reports about abortions as a result of the shot, just like in other parts of the world. Officials are desperate to declare any deaths in proximity to the vaccinations as coincidental and therefor the official numbers can not be trusted. In fact, the whole official story regarding the "swine flu" in Sweden can no longer be trusted since it is clear that media together with the Swedish authorities have been and still are engaged in a massive propaganda campaign to vaccinate as many as possible without any clear declared reasons or logic.

The ties between scientists, politicians and the Pharma industry and WHO is also not clarified.

This is by far the biggest medical scandal in modern times in Sweden.

Swiss soldier reports preparations for forced swine flu vaccination campaing.

2009-11-26T12:17:00.000-08:00

© Unknown

A Swiss soldier serving in Bremgarten, Aargau, where military units for disaster management are stationed, has said that medical units are preparing to carry out an operation to give all Swiss soldiers the swine flu jab by force if necessary.

http://www.kaserne-bremgarten.ch/kaserne/ueberuns.html

The soldier said that a doctor at the base also explained that every swine flu jab has a special needle with a bar code.

The bar code is registered for every person who takes the jab and then sent to the Federal Ministry for Health, the Bundesamt für Gesundheit.

The military doctor said he didn’t know why a special needle was needed but there are many reports of a nanochip in the needle.

The soldier said that the medical troops are preparing for a “serious scenario.”

Every soldier belonging to the medical unit has to prepare to vaccinate every other soldier whether they want to be vaccinated or not in a "worst case scenario".

He said he considered forced vaccination to be inevitable.

The soldier’s supports an earlier report that Swiss soldiers belonging to medical units are being called up and trained for a mass forced vaccination campaign.

This is the email in German:

Da ich momentan im Militär tätig bin, hab ich mich mal bei der Krankenabteilung auf dem Waffenplatz Bremgarten AG erkundigt, wo es zur Abwechslung gute Ärzte hat, welche nicht einfach mal in jedem Fall Schmerzmittel verschreiben

Auch im Militär ist die Sau los wegen der Soiligripp. Diesen Freitag gehen alle mit Ihrem Impfausweis vorbei und können sich impfen lassen.

Nun hab ich den Chefarzt mal auf die Nadeln angesprochen. Es ist definitiv so, dass für jeden Impfling eine ganz neue, spezielle Nadel bereit steht, welche einen Strichcode enthält.

Dieser Strichcode wird für den jeweiligen Impfling registriert und schlussendlich ans BAG geschickt. Warum und wieso eine neue, spezielle Nadel benötigt wird, weiss er nicht. Ich werde sie mir diesen Freitag aber selbstverständlich genau unter die Lupe nehmen.

Weitere Angehörige der Armee müssen sich in Acht nehmen:

Bei den Sanitätstruppen rüstet man sich für den "Ernsteinsatz". Alle Soldaten der San Trp müssen/mussten sich vorbereiten um in einem Ernstfall auszurücken und alle Ada's zu impfen. Und dies selbstverständlich nicht auf freiweilliger Basis. Also ist diese Aktion mehr oder weniger absehbar. Soweit meine Information.

The great thimerosal cover-up: Mercury, vaccines, autism and your child's health

2009-11-25T11:32:00.000-08:00

Thimerosal bottle

You have probably seen your nurse insert a syringe into a large vial, extract some liquid, and then leave a substantial amount of vaccine in the original container. If you've witnessed this seemingly benign procedure, you've seen how vaccine manufacturers are saving money at the expense of public health. In order to store larger amounts of vaccine at a lower cost, companies began offering "multi-dose units" while adding preservatives to prevent contaminations. That way doctors can open and close a vaccine container, inviting germs into the once-sterile solution, while assuring the public that those contaminants are quickly killed by the preservative. Sound familiar? It's the same story of corporate America's love affair with preservatives. It saves them money, while posing an undue risk to your health. But like many toxic preservatives found in food, a vaccine preservative kills more than just bacteria and fungi; it can lead to extensive neurological damage in your children, and has even been implicated in autism.

Thimerosal

Thimerosal is the preservative of choice for vaccine manufacturers. First introduced by Eli Lilly and Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the company began selling it as a preservative in vaccines in the 1940s. Thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury by weight and is metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Mercury, or more precisely, ethylmercury, is the principle agent that kills contaminants. Unfortunately, mercury also kills much more than that. The Department of Defense classifies mercury as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Studies indicate that mercury tends to accumulate in the brains of primates and other animals after they are injected with vaccines. Mercury poisoning has been linked to cardiovascular disease, autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and many other nervous system conditions. That's why the FDA rigorously limits exposure to mercury in foods and drugs. Some common sources of mercury include dental amalgam fillings, various vaccines and certain fish contaminated by polluted ocean waters.
The toxicity of mercury has never been in question. The real question is precisely how much mercury-laced thimerosal is toxic, and what are the possible consequences for our children at low doses?
Eli Lilly and Co. supposedly answered this question for us back in 1930. Concluding thimerosal to be of "a very low order of toxicity . . . for man," the company hired its own doctors to perform thimerosal experiments in Indianapolis City Hospital on meningitis patients during a severe outbreak in 1929. This 60-year-old evidence was still quoted on the company's brochures as recently as 1990. Andrew Waters, who is involved in a lawsuit against Eli Lilly, claims that most critical studies on the toxicity of thimerosal were suppressed by the company until now.

Banned around the world, but not in the United States

That might explain why thimerosal was eliminated in many countries 20 years ago. In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later. Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from children's vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative. Eli Lilly stuck to its "scientific" facts, but the truth began slipping between the cracks in 1999. After the number of immunizations rose to 12 to 15 per child, the public finally became privy to the possible dangers of thimerosal. One 1999 study revealed that some infants, due to a genetic or developmental factor, lack the ability to eliminate mercury. Trace amounts of mercury in these infants, when accumulated over several vaccines, could pose a severe health risk. Some vaccines, such as vaccines for hepatitis B, contained as much as 12.5 micrograms of mercury per dose. That's more than 100 times the EPA's upper limit standard when administered to infants.

Hepatitis B vaccines aren't the only immunizations under suspicion. According to Burton Goldberg in Alternative Medicine, scientists are finding stronger and stronger links between thimerosal and neurological damage. One report by Dr. Vijendra Singh of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan found a higher incidence of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) antibodies in autistic children.
The National Vaccine Information Center in Vienna, Virginia, has noted a strong association between the MMR vaccine and autistic features. Reporting similar findings, the Encephalitis Support Group in England claims that children who became autistic after the MMR vaccine started showing autistic symptoms as early as 30 days after vaccination. The diphtheria, pertussis a
nd tetanus vaccine (DPT) given at two, four and six months has triggered autistic symptoms, as well.
When the FDA finally formally released this information in 1999, the news came too little too late for some parents. The damage had already been done.

Links between autism and thimerosal

Autism affects 500,000 to 1.5 million Americans and has grown at an annual rate of 10 to 17 percent since the late 1980s. California found a 273 percent increase in autism between 1987 and 1998. Maryland reported a 513 percent increase in autism between 1993 and 1998 and several dozen other states reported similar findings. Some scientists say the estimated number of cases of autism has increased 15-fold –1,500 percent – since 1991, when the number of childhood vaccinations doubled. Whereas one in every 2,500 children was diagnosed with autism before 1991, one in 166 children now have the disease. This increase in reported autism cases eerily parallels the increase in the number and frequency of thimerosal-containing vaccinations administered to infants. As of today, children are given as many as 21 immunizations in the first 15 months of life. After a number of scientists and concerned activists noticed the correlation, an investigation was launched to get to the heart of the matter.

Statistical evidence links thimerosal with nervous system disorders

In June 2000, federal officials and industry representatives were assembled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to discuss the disturbing evidence. According to Tom Verstraeten, an epidemiologist who had analyzed the data on the CDC's database, thimerosal appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and other neurological disorders. Verstraeten told those at the meeting that a number of earlier studies indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. Verstraeten offered no possible cause for this correlation, but held that the statistical evidence linking vaccines and neurological disorders was strong. Dr. Bill Weil, a consultant for the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado, presented similar concerns to the group. However, given no causal relationship, the CDC and industry representatives were quick to discredit the evidence.
Consequently, the CDC paid the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct another study on thimerosal. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this study was fixed in order to "whitewash" previous findings. In its 2001 report, the IOM's Immunization Safety Review Committee did conclude that the link between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders was biologically plausible, though the evidence neither proved nor negated it. The Committee stated that phasing out thimerosal from vaccines was “a prudent measure in support of the public health goal to reduce mercury exposure of infants and children as much as possible.” However, these findings offered no imperative. The data presented at the 2000 meeting was withheld from publication and the link between thimerosal and autism remained "inconclusive."
But what does "inconclusive" mean? Well, that depends on who you talk to. According to the FDA, these "inconclusive" findings negate the risk of a causal relationship between thimerosal and autism. Even Tom Verstraeten, one of the presenters of epidemiological evidence at the CDC meeting, seemingly changed his tune a bit. In 2000, Verstraeten vigorously campaigned against thimerosal based upon his "inconclusive" correlation, but after he was hired by GlaxoSmithKline, the doctor changed his position. The same evidence from 2000, in Verstraeten's eyes, became "neutral" in 2003. After criticism for this apparent flip-flop, Verstaeten wrote a letter to the editor of Pediatrics in 2004 backing the CDC's actions and his own research methods.

Merck continues selling vaccines with thimerosal

Without an imperative to eradicate thimerosal immediately, vaccine manufacturers like Merck & Co. seemingly took their time in reducing thimerosal levels in vaccines. After a large public outcry in 1999, Merck & Co. began decreasing or eliminating the amount of thimerosal in its vaccines. In September 1999, Merck announced that its new line of vaccines were preservative-free, but still continued to distribute the remainder of thimerosal-preserved vaccines until 2001. Only after a congressional inquiry in 2002 did they stop distributing their stockpile. Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., called Merck's actions "misleading." While officials at the Center for Disease Control claim evidence is lacking to support the possible risks of thimerosal, Dr. Mark Geier, a Maryland geneticist and vaccinologist, along with his son and research partner David Geier, says the CDC has chosen to ignore the science. According to Dr. Geier, more than 5,000 articles have been published that question the safety of thimerosal in vaccines.
The Geiers analyzed the data and determined that the more thimerosal a child receives, the greater his or her chances are of being autistic. The CDC says the Geiers misused information from a CDC database that was not intended to help prove theories. Given no real causal mechanism linking thimerosal and autism, the game seems to have become one of slanting the data to suit the needs of government and industrial interests. Even Verstraeten has admitted that these "inconclusive" findings certainly don't rule out the possibility of finding a link in the future.

Grassroots action against vaccine manufacturers

Given the dearth of health organizations owning up to the dangers of thimerosal, many parents followed their gut instincts and took legal action against vaccine manufacturers. More than 4,200 families have filed lawsuits claiming thimerosal caused injuries to their children. These lawsuits often have two goals: First, to seek reparations for the loss of consortium (basically meaning that an autistic child creates emotional and psychological burdens on their family life), and second, to ensure that these companies exercise more concern for public health and less concern for their own bottom line. The lawsuits are slow in producing results. The first constraint on these lawsuits is the National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986. This act stipulates that victims cannot seek redress in the courts without first filing a claim for recovery in the federal Vaccine Court. The statute of limitations for this is within three years of "the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of the significant aggravation of a [vaccine-related] injury."
In the cases of many thimerosal victims, the link between autism and vaccines didn't appear until six years after the first vaccine was administered. While this statute has stopped some claims against vaccine manufacturers, including such big firms as Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and Johnson & Johnson, many judges are now allowing suits against Eli Lilly, the maker of thimerosal, to stand. While the Vaccine Act shields vaccine manufacturers, one judge reasons that the legislation does not protect the production of thimerosal because it is a "component."
The burden of proof in court is also extremely problematic for most of these suits. Given the supposed lack of scientific data, lawyers are hard-pressed to prove the link between thimerosal and autism. In what seems like an underhanded move, the CDC sold its data to a private company, ensuring that lawyers could not access it under the Freedom of Information Act.
In the past five years, Congress has also aided vaccine manufacturers, supposedly for "security" reasons. In 2002, a mysterious piggyback on the 2002 Homeland Security bill freed drug companies of liability in lawsuits regarding thimerosal. Called the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" by outraged parents and activists, the then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey told CBS News he snuck the amendment in to keep vaccine-makers from going out of business. Armey claimed it was a matter of national security. "We need their vaccines if the country is attacked with germ weapons."
Ironically, foreign biological terrorism hasn't been a big problem for American citizens, but those whose lives (and the lives of their children) have been affected if not ruined by the harmful effects of thimerisol would undoubtedly say these potentially harmful vaccines are indeed a problem. Armey's piggyback bill was repealed in 2003, but that didn't stop lawmakers from continuing to protect the vaccine industry.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is no stranger to the thimerosal debate, having received $873,000 in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry and $10,000 from Eli Lilly. Frist's position allowed him to attempt to help the industry from the inside, according to Kennedy. Kennedy reports that on five occasions, Frist tried to seal the government's vaccine-related documents and shield Eli Lilly from subpoenas. Frist also introduced a provision in the 2005 Senate Bill S-3 called the "Protecting America in the War on Terror Act," that would effectively insulate the pharmaceutical industry from liability for thimerosal poisoning. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Aventis, Weyeth and Eli Lilly, can basically get off scot-free for their actions, even as more and more evidence suggests that top company officials were aware of the possible dangers and did nothing.
A secret memo leaked to the Los Angeles Times reportedly implicates one vaccine manufacturer, Merck & Co., for knowing that thimerosal could pose serious threats to infants. Allegedly, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, one of Merck's top scientists, warned the president of Merck of a possible threat as early as 1991. Dr. Hilleman told executives that six-month-old children receiving regular immunizations frequently received mercury doses 87 times higher than guidelines for the maximum consumption of mercury. Given today's more prudent mercury standards, those thimerosal doses would be 400 times that of safe levels. Dr. Hilleman recommended in the memo that thimerosal be discontinued.
Not only do government and industry officials seem to be trying to downplay the possible harms of thimerosal; the media is also denying the issue coverage. Just recently, ABC flip-flopped on whether it will air interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr., a leading critic of thimerosal. ABC has been accused of suppressing the interviews because of its ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

The thimerosal debate continues

Along with the enormous amount of controversy surrounding this issue, the five-year-old plea for "more research" may have finally produced some results. Burton Goldberg notes that a defect in the myelinization process (insulation of nerve fibers) could explain mercury's propensity to cause autism and neurological damage. This may also account for the frequent development of epilepsy in older autistic children. Scientists are also working on biological links that support the strong correlations. Researchers at Northeastern University, working with scientists from the University of Nebraska, Tufts and Johns Hopkins University, may have recently found the mechanism by which thimerosal interferes with brain activity. If these researchers are right, vaccine manufacturers could do little to keep the damaging effects of thimerosal hidden.
Pharmacy professor Richard Deth and colleagues found that exposure to thimerosal potently interrupts growth factor signaling, causing adverse effects on the transfer of carbon atoms. These carbon atoms play a significant role in regulating normal DNA function and gene expression and are critical to proper neurological development. Additionally, the scientists recently obtained more insight into the mechanism by which thimerosal interferes with folate-dependent methylation. The mechanism inhibits the biosynthesis of the active form of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), a vitamin now being administered to autistic children.

The experts speak on mercury, vaccines and thimerosal

Now all childhood vaccines have at least one mercury-free version, and I urge parents to ask for those versions if they choose to vaccinate their children. Injecting mercury into children, especially infants whose immune systems are still underdeveloped (hepatitis B shots are typically given at birth, before the immune system has developed), can be an assault to the immune system.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders by Stephen B Edelson MD, page 65 In 1999 studies began to surface showing that multi-dose vial vaccines, such as the MMR and hepatitis B vaccines, contained enough thimerosal to expose vaccinated children to 62.5 ug of mercury per visit to the pediatrician. This is one hundred times the dose considered safe by the Federal Environmental Protection Guidelines for infants! Worse yet, some infants will receive doses even higher; because thimerosal tends to settle in the vial. If it is not shaken up before being drawn, the first dose will contain low concentrations of mercury and the last dose will contain enormously high concentrations. If your baby is the unlucky one that gets the last dose, serious brain injury can result…
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 166
Thousands of families say they can demonstrate with videotapes and photos that their children were normal prior to being vaccinated, reacted badly to the vaccines, and became autistic shortly thereafter. The number of vaccines given before age two has risen from 3 in 1940, when autism occurred in perhaps one case per 10,000 births, to 22 different vaccines given before the age of two in the year 2000.
Building Wellness with DMG by Roger V Kendall PhD, page 104
We know that certain forms of mercury, such as methylmercury and phenylmercury, are highly lipid soluble, which makes the brain especially susceptible to mercury accumulation. These forms of mercury are found in vaccines as the preservative thimerosal. Once in the brain, it tends to attach itself to protein structures, especially to the cell membrane, where it can disrupt membrane functions.23 By binding to the cell membrane, mercury changes the membrane's fluid-like quality, making it stiffer and causing the cell to age faster.24 The brain is unique in that neurons depend on special microscopic tube-like structures within the cell, appropriately called neurotubules, for their function. These neurotubules are manufactured by the cell from a substance called tubulin. We know that mercury interacts with tubulin causing it to unravel. Studies in rats have shown that doses of mercury corresponding to those seen in humans can cause a 75 percent increase in tubulin inhibition.
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 53
In the case of the susceptible newborn infant and toddler, multiple exposures to mercury-containing and multiple antigen vaccines are highly suspect in the causation of multiple organ injury (Bernard et al. 2000). The GI tract, the liver, the pancreas, the kidneys, the immune system, and the brain are major sites of mercury absorption. Researchers have clearly shown a chronic inflammatory bowel disease due to vaccine strain measles in a subset of children with autism (Thompson et al. 1995; Wakefield et al. 1995, 1999, 2000a,b; Kawashima et al. 2000; Pardi et al. 2000; Uhlmann et al. 2002).
Disease Prevention And Treatment by Life Extension Foundation, page 153
Studies of autistic children have frequently shown very high levels of mercury, with no other source but vaccines found for the exposure. These levels are equal to those seen in adults during toxic industrial exposures. Several autism clinics have found dramatic improvements in the behavior and social interactions in children from whom the mercury was chelated. Results depended on how soon the mercury was removed following exposure, but permanent damage can be caused if the metal is not chelated soon enough. Still, even in cases of severe damage, because of the infant brain's tremendous reparative ability, improvements are possible. The problem of autism involves numerous body systems including the gastrointestinal, immune and nervous systems; as a result we see numerous infections and magnified effects of malnutrition. Intrepid workers in the shadows, that is outside the medial establishment, have worked many miracles with these children using a multidisciplinary scientific approach completely ignored by the orthodoxy. Some children have even experienced a return to complete physiological normalcy.
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 166
Mercury and autism mercury toxicity is a suspected cause of a steep rise—a tenfold increase between 1984 and 1994—in diagnosed cases of autism in children around the world, according to some scientists. Specifically, the culprit is thimerosal, a mercury-based compound used as a preservative in vaccines commonly administered to babies and infants. thimerosal-free vaccines are available. If you have a child who will be receiving vaccinations, ask for and make sure thimerosal-free vaccines are used. Kelp, with its essential minerals (especially calcium and magnesium), helps remove unwanted metal deposits.
Prescription For Dietary Wellness by Phyllis A Balch, page 198
The pertussis vaccine (DPT) may cause 45,000 cases of autism per year in America, affecting 15 cases out of 10,000 vaccinations; also caused by the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) that causes mental impairment, gastrointestinal damage, and increased mortality in 6-12 months from impaired immunity; 9 out of 10 cases were not breast-fed; eating dairy products caused parasites in the autistic (take Vermex; contact Dr. Nelson in Mexico for control of parasites in children with autism). There are now over 500,000 victims of autism residing in the United States, in 1994. The pertussis vaccination is not used in Sweden, which has virtually 0 cases of autism, as does Holland. This mental illness afflicts environmentally and socially non-reactive persons, ofwithdrawn personality; with inability to speak, violenttantrums, insomnia, actions such as bolting across aroad with no regard for the dire consequences. May be caused infant antibiotic use in ear infections with subsequent yeast overgrowth, by cumulative genetic Brain damage, Vitamin deficiencies, or milk and additives allergies. Immune disorders in autism include white blood cellneutrophil Myeloperoxidase enzyme deficiency for insufficient hypochlorite ions to kill yeast - genetic type from Chromosome 17 mutation or biotinidase deficiency, or acquired type from lead poisoning, Folic acid or B-l 2 deficiency, infection or leukemias…
Anti-Aging Manual by Joseph B Marion, page 450
Multiple vaccinations, especially in newborns, are another major source of childhood mercury exposure because of the mercury-containing thimerosal preservative. Over twenty-two vaccinations are now recommended for children before the age of two!
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 64
In addition, there is some anecdotal evidence that autism may be tied to diet. One theory is that, in very rare cases, a child's immune system could be weakened by the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination (MMR), which is usually administered before a child turns 2. As a result of this weakening, the theory goes, the child's digestive system is unable to break down certain food proteins, leading to abnormal brain development. Proponents of this theory believe that putting the child on a diet that eliminates certain foods, such as wheat and dairy products, could in certain cases reverse the course of the disease. This theory remains speculative, however, and research needs to be done to determine its validity. In fact, a 2001 report issued by an Institute of Medicine committee examining studies about the health effects of the MMR vaccine in young children suggests that there is no proven link between the vaccine and autism. The committee recommends that there be no change in immunization practices that require children to be immunized during early childhood.
The Immune Advantage by Ellen Mazo and Keith Berndtson MD, page 292
Rather than calling for an all-out immediate ban on thimerosal-containing vaccines, they suggested that parents continue to have their children vaccinated with mercury-contaminated vaccines until new stocks of uncontaminated vaccine could be made available. Here are two doctors' unions that had to be beat over the head with an overwhelming amount of data that mercury-contaminated vaccines were harming children far worse than the actual diseases against which the vaccine was intended to protect them, only to have them suggest that parents continue to harm their children just to satisfy their vaccination obsession. Are you surprised to discover that recent investigations have found that several doctor-members of vaccine boards were either receiving grants from vaccine manufacturers or held stock in the companies? They were willing to sacrifice the health of millions of children just to fill their pockets with cash. These people should be looking through bars, not serving on boards.
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 167
Vaccines may afflict 45,000 cases of autism per year in America, which afflicts 15 victims in every 10.000 births: there are now 5 00,000 of these victims in the U.S. In Sweden not using the pertussis vaccine, there is virtually no autism (and likewise in Holland).
Anti-Aging Manual by Joseph B Marion, page 600
Many symptoms of autism are similar to those of mercury poisoning. Immune dysfunction, visual disturbances, and motor dysfunction are seen in both. Treating autistic children for removal of mercury and other heavy metals has shown significant improvement in their autistic symptoms. Most autistic individuals have poor liver detoxification, low antioxidant levels, and low levels of glutathione. Vaccines are effective, but the production and use of vaccines should proceed more cautiously. Currently manufactured vaccines still contain harmful substances like mercury. The link between vaccines and autism is far stronger than the medical community is willing to admit, and more research in this area should be an urgent priority.
Building Wellness with DMG by Roger V Kendall PhD, page 105
Studies indicate that autism may be the result of adverse reactions to childhood vaccinations. Dr. Alan Cohen, an environmental physician from Connecticut, notes that high levels of autism and attention deficit disorder (ADD) did not occur until the mandatory use of childhood vaccinations, and suggests that there may be a connection between certain vaccines and the onset of these conditions.
Complete Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing by Gary Null PhD, page 46
Almost from the inception of vaccination programs, manufacturers added a mercury preservative called thimerosal to vaccines. The practice continued until recently, and was stopped only because of the outcry from thousands of concerned parents and numerous experts in the field. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice did not warn parents or pediatricians that the mercury was dangerous until they were forced to. That mercury was toxic to cells had been known for over sixty years, but manufacturers apparently were more worried about lawsuits…
Health And Nutrition Secrets by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 165
In fact, a 2001 report issued by an Institute of Medicine committee examining studies about the health effects of the MMR vaccine in young children suggests that there is no proven link between the vaccine and autism. The committee recommends that there be no change in immunization practices that require children to be immunized during early childhood. Another disorder affecting the brain, Alzheimer's disease, may also have an immune connection. Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease that slowly attacks nerve cells in the brain. It eventually results in the loss of all memory and mental functioning. Scientists are currently investigating the role that the immune system plays in producing an overabundance of the amino acid glutamate, a powerful nerve-cell killer. Another immune connection that researchers are investigating is the idea that Alzheimer's might be triggered, in part, by a virus.
The Immune Advantage by Ellen Mazo and Keith Berndtson MD, page 292
In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen between 200 and 500 per cent in every state in the U.S. This sharp increase in autism followed the introduction of MMR vaccine in 1975. Representative Dan Burton's healthy grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one day. These injections were followed by autism.

"Probably 20% of American children, one in five, suffers from a "development disability'," according to Harris Coulter, Ph.D., Founder and Director of the Center for Empirical Medicine, in Washington, D.C. "This is a stupefying figure and we have inflicted it on ourselves. 'Development disabilities' are nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis in the U.S. and other industrialized countries is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of U.S. children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other branches of the hydra-headed entity called 'development disabilities' owe their disorders to one of the vaccines against childhood diseases."
Alternative Medicine by Burton Goldberg, page 1101
Martin noted that the increased incidence of chronic fatigue syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, and other behavior-linked illnesses "may be an inadvertent consequence of stealth virus vaccine contaminants."
AIDS And Ebola by Leonard Horowitz, page 493
Just for perspective if we go back to 1971 up to 1980, we see that California consistently added 100 to 200 new cases a year; but in the year 2002, California added 3,577 new cases. Since 1980, the documented start of California's autism epidemic, the number of new cases has steadily increased. If we break down those statistics it means that from 1994 to 1995, California only added on average 2 new autistic children a day into its system. In 2001, it was a rate of 8 new autistic children added a day; in 2002, it jumped up to 10 children a day. mercury-containing vaccines are still in use today, including the most recently recommended addition to the childhood immunization schedule, 2 shots of flu vaccine for infants, bringing the total number of vaccines up to 41 in California that a child will receive before the age of two. It will take a few years to start seeing the effect of the phasing out of the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal from childhood vaccines on this autism epidemic. Many symptoms of autism are similar to those of mercury poisoning. Immune dysfunction, visual disturbances, and motor dysfunction are seen in both. Treating autistic children for removal of mercury and other heavy metals has shown significant improvement in their autistic symptoms. Most autistic individuals have poor liver detoxification, low antioxidant levels, and low levels of glutathione.
Building Wellness with DMG by Roger V Kendall PhD, page 105
Since the 1990s, there has been a tenfold or 1000-percent increase in autism, an increase which has been linked by some researchers to the organic mercury preservative commonly found in baby vaccines. A greatly increased incidence of juvenile diabetes has been correlated to specific vaccination sequences and to the number of vaccines given. In some Australian Aboriginal communities, every second child died shortly after vaccination.
The Natural Way to Heal by Walter Last, page 309
The best current estimates are that autism occurs in 40 to 67 children per 10,000 live births. This means that the prevalence of autism has increased 1,000 percent in the last decade. According to the latest figures just released in January 2003 by the California Department of Developmental Services, California experienced an astounding 31 percent increase in the number of new children…

Doctors in the Ukraine have accused the President, Viktor Yushchenko, and his agents of committing genocide in a letter published on the Ukrainian website Rupor Info, sparking fears that the reports of the deaths of thousands of people from artificially created pandemics and vaccinations are true.

The doctors accused the Yuschchenko of deliberately creating "epidemics" in specific regions for political reasons.

By the ploy of pandemics, the doctors say Yushchenko was able to postpone elections he would have almost certainly lost, declare martial law and remain in power as president.

The doctors who signed the letter have been forced to withdraw it.

The letter has ignited fears that many more people have died inside the quarantine zones set up in the Ukraine than the government-controlled media is reporting.

Sources in Poland are reporting that many people who are sick in the Ukraine received vaccinations.

One source reported that 99% of the people who came down with an unusually severe sickness were vaccinated.

After a vaccination with what appears to be the seasonal flu with an HIN1 virus, they became sick in 2 to 3 weeks and infected their family.

According to sources, 200,000 people in the Ukraine got a flu shot, resulting in an epidemic of sickness.

An especially severe flu gripping Poland also appears to be associated with the seasonal flu jab, with an H1N1 virus, according to the package.

Last week a woman reported thousands of people had been killed by vaccines inside closed-off quarantine zones inside western Ukraine.

Dr Boyd Haley: Thimerosal, Mercury Toxicity & Autism

2009-11-24T11:11:00.000-08:00

excerpt at 2'55 (part 2):

"Thimerosal is not an adjuvant. Thimerosal is an immune system suppressor. It prevents your immune system form reacting. How can you say it's an adjuvant when it prevents the immune system from responding to an antigen you presented with it."

"Thimerosal inhibits phagocytosis which is the first step in our innate immune system [...] When you vaccinate with Thimerosal, you prevent the child from using his most innate immune system."

A Neuro-Scientist Speaks Out

2009-11-23T12:58:00.000-08:00

Dr. Christopher Shaw is a Neuro-Scientist at the University of British Columbia, (UBC) in Canada.

Chris Shaw wasn’t always skeptical about vaccines. The neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia had his teenage son vaccinated with most of the recommended shots. But then he started studying some of the ingredients commonly found in vaccines.

What he discovered caused him to go cold turkey on all shots for his six-year-old daughter. And that includes the vaccine for the H1N1 flu.

“I am not convinced H1N1 is sufficiently hazardous to most people to risk the potential downside of the vaccine,” Shaw said over the phone from his office in the research pavilion at the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

Shaw isn’t an easily dismissed vaccine conspiracy theorist. He is a leading expert on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Parkinson’s disease. While investigating unusually high rates of ALS and other neurological disorders among veterans who have Gulf War syndrome, he found evidence that the cause may have been aluminum salt, an ingredient in the cocktail of vaccines given to soldiers before deployment.

Dr. Chris Shaw spoke in Vancouver on Nov 7th, 2009 at an event that CHF helped to organize. Here he describes the nature of his work and the type of testing that has gone into his research findings regarding aluminum and squalene adjuvants in vaccines. He then gives a hard-hitting critique of the GlaxoSmithKlein H1N1 vaccine “Arepanrix”, as well as Health Canada for having approved it with what he considers to be inadequate testing, according to the available data.

BULGARIA DECLARES SWINE FLU PANDEMIC AT AN END

2009-11-23T12:47:00.000-08:00

Bulgaria has officially declared the swine flu pandemic to be "over".

The Bulgarian Ministry of Health said that the rate of infection had dropped to 190 people for every 10,000 people.

The declaration of an end of the pandemic by the government will result in the swine flu vaccination programme being put on ice.

In a report on Bulgaria from mid November, experts from European Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said that the swine flu situation in Bulgaria was no different from that in other countries in Europe in as far as the swine flu -- if it could be confirmed in a lab at all -- was a mild sickness.

Bulgaria's decision to declare an end to the swine flu pandemic raises the question: why have other countries in the European Union not declared the swine flu pandemic at an end.

Canada: The Killer H1N1 Vaccine

2009-11-22T12:39:00.000-08:00

"It is a serious thing [vaccine] that has the potential to kill" according to Dr. Neil Rau, an infectious disease expert, in a CTV interview, but do not worry: "leading experts insist, the benefits of the H1N1 vaccine vastly outweigh the risks" (Swine Flu Support Center, emphasis added)

A new development in the H1N1 Vaccine Saga is unfolding in Canada.

Whereas health officials are pushing for an acceleration of the vaccination program, there is evidence of so-called "unusual adverse reactions" including three recently recorded deaths directly resulting from the vaccine.

In the meantime, health authorities have called for the withdrawal of 170,000 (higher risk) doses of the vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The initiative, of which the importance is being downplayed, is said to have come from the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, which expressed concern on higher than normal adverse reactions to the vaccine.

"Canada's H1N1 flu vaccine manufacturer has asked the provinces to temporarily discontinue vaccinating Canadians from a lot of vaccine shipped in October due to a higher risk of adverse reactions, says a Manitoba health official.

Dr. Joel Kettner, Manitoba's chief public health officer, said Thursday that GlaxoSmithKline has asked that the October batch be taken out of circulation because it produced serious and immediate anaphylactic reactions in one out of 20,000 vaccinations, compared with one out of 100,000 in other shipments.

"We've been asked by the manufacturer GSK to not use this vaccine at this time pending further investigation," he said. (Winnipeg Free Press, 20 November 2009)

The government is involved in a cover-up. The initial headlines stated "more than 100,000 doses", but then read on, the number is 170,000 doses.

The CTV report admits that "it is a serious thing, it has the potential to kill".

Too Late to Withdraw the 170,000 Defective Doses

The question is whether the doses can be withdrawn or whether they have already been used. The first news reports from Manitoba indicate that:

Of the 63,000 doses shipped [to Manitoba], only 630 remained unused by the four regional health authorities in Manitoba that received them. (Ibid)

This report would suggest that the risky GSK vaccine doses have already been used.

A subsequent report confirms that out of the 63,000 doses, 900 unused doses of the H1N1 were withdrawn by health authorities "after health authorities received word other vaccines from the same batch have been causing higher rates of allergic reactions than expected." (Flu vaccine batch pulled in Manitoba, Winnipeg Sun, 20 November 2009).

The question is what happened to the remaining 62,100 doses of the higher risk vaccine batch, which were used to vaccinate people in Manitoba?

Has there been a followup regarding those people in Manitoba who received the higher risk H1N1 vaccine injection.

Manitoba Health authorities casually confirm, in this regard, that "most of the vaccine Manitoba received from the suspect lot had already been used by the time the province received the alert on Wednesday" [November 18, 2009]. (Winnipeg Free Press, 20 November 2009, emphasis added)

Manitoba and Quebec : Three deaths resulting from the H1N1 Vaccine

The news reports have highlighted deaths allegedly resulting from the H1N1 flu, while obfuscating several recorded deaths resulting directly from the vaccine. These vaccine related deaths are occurring at the very outset of the vaccination program,

According to CTV News, 20 November 2009) "The province is currently investigating two deaths -- both adults who died within seven days of getting the H1N1 shot" (Family questions if H1N1 shot caused Manitoba woman's death, November 20, 2009, emphasis added).

Manitoba officials acknowledge 69 "adverse events" after people received the swine flu shot, including the two deaths. (CBC.ca report, 17 November 2009)

However, unless the families speak out, the authorities will not provide details. CTV interviewed the family of one of the victims. No details on the other death in Manitoba are available:

"The family of a 38-year-old Manitoba woman who died five days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine are looking for answers as to why it happened.

Soo Lee Wong and her daughter, Angela Truong, both got the H1N1 shot on November 5th.

The family says Wong, who had diabetes, started getting sick a day after getting vaccinated and died a few days later.

Doctors told the family Wong died of a blood infection. More tests will be done to see if the vaccine played any role.

Wong's husband, Thoon Truong, is also caring for his seven-year-old daughter Angela, who has been in the hospital with a fever and swollen, painful legs.

He wants to know whether the two cases related to the vaccine or to something else.

The province is currently investigating two deaths -- both adults who died within seven days of getting the H1N1 shot.

Although it's still early, Manitoba's chief medical officer of health Dr. Joel Kettner says immunizations were not likely the cause of the deaths. CTV News | Family questions if H1N1 shot caused Manitoba woman's death, November 20, 2009)

It should be noted that these two deaths in Manitoba may have been associated with the injection of the higher risk H1N1 vaccine doses, which health authorities had called for withdrawal.

Quebec: One Death

An 80-year-old Quebec man was reported dead after taking the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccination. Health officials have dismissed the case, "stating that it's too soon to link the death and vaccine." Quebec man dies after taking H1N1 vaccine, Digital Journal, 18 November 2009).

The Quebec health authorities have refused to provide details:

"Quebec's Director of Public Health Protection, Dr. Horacio Arruda, did not know why the man took the vaccine and that final test results, which are expected to come in December, will determine whether or not the man died from the vaccine.

Canada.com reports the man died in the last three weeks but provincial officials declined to reveal details, citing confidentiality concerns. Arruda has said that most allergic reactions occur right away, which is the reason why many patients are asked to stay in the centers, "We can't say there is a causal association between the death and the flu shot."

Nevertheless, Arruda is confident that the death will not discourage people from taking the vaccine but urged that serious reactions to the H1N1 shot are rare, "I understand that everyone is worried."" (Quebec man dies after taking H1N1 vaccine, Digital Journal, 18 November 2009)

The statements by senior health officials are notoriously ambiguous: while they concur that: "there is no evidence the vaccine is dangerous.", they nonetheless acknowledge the deaths resulting from the vaccine (Statement of Quebec's Director of Public Health Protection, Dr. Horacio Arruda, (The Canadian Press: Quebec health officials investigating possible death from H1N1 vaccine. November 18, 2009).

8 months foetus

France: A pregnant woman and health professional who had received a shot of Pandemrix (with adjuvant) lost her baby 2 days after the injection.

According to the AFSSAPS, the woman was 38 weeks (8,5 months) pregnant and presented typical post-vaccination symptoms.

"Two days after the vaccination, she had strong contractions and the doctors realised that the foetus' heart had stopped beating", explained M. Marimbert, Head of the AFSSAPS [French Health Products Safety Agency]. An investigation is in process".

Aspirin Kills 400% More People than H1N1 Swine Flu

2009-11-21T11:54:00.000-08:00

© Wiki Commons

The CDC now reports that nearly 4,000 Americans have been killed by H1N1 swine flu.

Comment: don't forget the CDC has used a new method of counting to get this number (4000)

This number is supposed to sound big and scary, motivating millions of people to go out and pay good money to be injected with untested, unproven H1N1 vaccines. But let's put the number in perspective: Did you know that more than four times as many people are killed each year by common NSAID painkillers like aspirin?

The July 1998 issue of The American Journal of Medicine explains it as follows:

"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone." (Singh Gurkirpal, MD, "Recent Considerations in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Gastropathy", The American Journal of Medicine, July 27, 1998, p. 31S)

So for every person the CDC claims was killed by H1N1 swine flu this year, common painkillers like aspirin have killed four! Yet you don't see the CDC, FDA, WHO or mainstream media running around screaming about the extreme dangers of aspirin, do you? All those deaths apparently don't matter. Only swine flu deaths lead to hysteria.

Understanding risk

According to death statistics tables available on the 'net, you are ten times more likely to die in a car accident this year than be killed by swine flu.

Nearly 100,000 Americans die every year from adverse reactions to FDA-approved prescription drugs. That's twenty-five times the number of people killed by H1N1 swine flu (even if you believe the CDC's numbers). So where's the big warning about the dangers of prescription drugs? Why isn't the CDC warning Americans about an "epidemic of dangerous drugs" that poses a far greater threat to your health?

The answer, of course, is that health authorities want to push people to buy vaccines that are about to become worthless (they're only good before swine flu fizzles out). And the only way to sell more vaccines to people who don't need them is to hype up a bunch of scare stories by citing bold statistics that make H1N1 swine flu seem really, really dangerous.

But the flu is no more dangerous than aspirin. In fact, H1N1 swine flu may be safer than aspirin.

Here's another quote from the New England Journal of Medicine:

"It has been estimated conservatively that 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis every year in the United States. This figure is similar to the number of deaths from the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and considerably greater than the number of deaths from multiple myeloma, asthma, cervical cancer, or Hodgkin's disease. If deaths from gastrointestinal toxic effects from NSAIDs were tabulated separately in the National Vital Statistics reports, these effects would constitute the 15th most common cause of death in the United States. Yet these toxic effects remain mainly a "silent epidemic," with many physicians and most patients unaware of the magnitude of the problem. Furthermore the mortality statistics do not include deaths ascribed to the use of over-the-counter NSAIDS." (Wolfe M. MD, Lichtenstein D. MD, and Singh Gurkirpal, MD, "Gastrointestinal Toxicity of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs", The New England Journal of Medicine, June 17, 1999, Vol. 340, No. 24, pp. 1888-1889.)

Did you catch that? The 16,500 figure for deaths each year doesn't even include over-the-counter painkiller drugs! If you add in those numbers, you're probably looking at something closer to 40,000 Americans kills each year by these drugs. And that makes these drugs 1000% more deadly than swine flu (because 40,000 is ten times greater than 4,000).

Swine flu vs. seasonal flu

Also according to CDC statistics, swine flu is only approximately one-tenth as dangerous as regular seasonal flu. That's because the CDC maintains that seasonal flu kills 36,000 Americans each year (a figure that I've already pointed out is highly suspect, but that's what they claim).

But even seasonal flu is nothing to get all worked up over. Unless you're in a state of terrible health with a compromised immune system, obesity and asthma, beating seasonal flu is a no-brainer: Just nourish your body with vitamin D, zinc, superfoods and natural health supplements and let your built-in immune technology do its job. Your immune system has already saved your life countless times. It knows how to do it if you give it the right nutrition.

There are lots of things that are far more dangerous than swine flu and yet are openly sold to consumers. Over 400,000 Americans die each year from smoking and yet you can buy cigarettes at Walgreens, Wal-Mart and CVS pharmacies. That means statistically, these pharmacies knowingly sell a product that kills 400 times as many people as swine flu has this year. Where's the alarm about the epidemic of tobacco-related deaths? Nowhere. Not a word from the CDC or WHO.

Also, if pharmacies really cared about your health, why do they openly sell a product that causes cancer and heart disease? Think about it...

They're just trying to sell you something that will harm you

The fact is, pharmacies will sell anything that makes money: Tobacco, processed junk food, and of course H1N1 vaccines. If they could make money selling influenza, they'd sell that, too. To the pharmaceutical retailers, it doesn't matter how many people die from the products they sell. They're just in business to sell anything that turns a profit, regardless of the consequences to public health.

And the vaccine industry is similarly motivated to sell you false ideas that make money. By selling you on the concept that swine flu is extremely dangerous, they can manipulate you into buying yet more harmful stuff they're hawking at pharmacies... like H1N1 vaccines. And they're counting on the fact that the American people won't do the math (or can't).

Most people have a very poor understanding of risk, and the vaccine industry is counting on precisely that risk assessment ineptitude to push its dangerous vaccines. If people knew that they are 40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have their life saved by a swine flu vaccine, very few would line up to be injected with one. But they don't grasp the difference between numbers that are very far apart such as 10^2 versus 10^5. To many people, those factors are "about the same" and it's worth getting injected with a vaccine "just in case."

That's why I've always stated a simple truth that still holds true today: People who seek out vaccine shots are the same kind of people who regularly play the lotto. Both decisions demonstrate a complete lack of understanding risk vs. reward. In fact, if you get a swine flu vaccine injection on the same day you buy a lotto ticket, you have a greater chance of buying a winning lotto ticket than being saved by the swine flu vaccine.

Playing the lotto is actually smarter than getting a swine flu vaccine shot. Plus, the lotto ticket won't potentially cause neurological damage that puts you in a coma or causes the spontaneous abortion of your baby -- both of which have been happening to people after receiving H1N1 vaccine shots.

West Virginia Judge rules kids must take swine flu jab at school: doesn't matter what parents want

2009-11-20T15:12:00.000-08:00

A federal district judge has ruled for a West Virginina school district and its officials in a case in which a parent sought to exempt her daughter from mandatory vaccinations for medical and religious reasons.

The ruling earlier this month by U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin of Charleston, W.Va., is interesting in light of the debate over links between vaccines and autism, as well as public debate over school vaccinations for the H1N1 virus.

The suit was filed by Jennifer Workman, who feared exposing her 6-year-old daughter to mandatory vaccines required for school because the child's older sister developed developmental disorders that the mother attributes to vaccines. The mother submitted a doctor's note seeking to exempt the 6-year-old from vaccines, but the Mingo County School District turned down the request on the advice of the West Virginia state health department, according to court documents.

The mother sued the district and its officials, claiming, among other things, that the vaccination requirement violates her First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. The mother's "Christian Bapticostal religious beliefs require that she honor God by protecting her child from harm and illness, and that immunizing [the 6-year-old] in this instance would violate those sincerely held beliefs," her suit said.

In his Nov. 3 opinion in Workman v. Mingo County Schools, Judge Goodwin said West Virginia is one of only two states that does not offer religious exemptions for school vaccines. (He doesn't identify the other state.)

The judge granted summary judgment to the Mingo County school district on 11th Amendment immunity grounds. Unfortunately for the mother, the school district has been under state control since 2005, which means for immunity purposes it is considered an arm of the state, and under the 11th Amendment, the state may not be sued without its consent. (The judge said a regular county school system in West Virginia--one not under state control--would not have such immunity.)

Judge Goodwin did reach the merits of the mother's constitutional claims with respect to several school official defendants.

"Ms. Workman's freedom of religion claim fails," the judge said. "Her beliefs do not exempt her from complying with West Virginia's mandatory immunization program. It has long been recognized that local authorities may constitutionally mandate vaccinations."

He cited a 1905 U.S. Supreme Court case, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, and a 1944 decision, Prince v. Massachusetts, as well as a number of lower-court rulings that support the idea that, as the judge put it, "Although most states have chosen to provide a religious exemption from compulsory immunization, a state need not do so."

100,000 swine flu jabs pulled in Canada after bad reactions

2009-11-20T14:57:00.000-08:00

More than 100,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine are being withdrawn across the country, after Manitoba health officials announced Thursday they'd noticed a higher-than-usual number of allergic reactions from one batch.

Vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has asked several provinces to set aside the 170,000 doses from the questionable batch.

GSK say the batch recall is a precaution an they will investigate to see whether there is something wrong with the batch.

"GSK is taking this cautionary action because the Public Health Agency of Canada has received a higher than expected number of reports of anaphylaxis in this lot number compared to other lots," the company said in a written statement Thursday.

One or two allergic reactions are expected in a batch that size. But health officials recorded six severe allergic reactions and alerted GSK.

Dr. Joel Kettner, Manitoba's Chief Medical Officer of Health, urged people not to be alarmed, noting the anaphylaxis reactions were short-lived and all the patients recovered.

"We've been asked by the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline not to use this vaccine at this time, pending further investigation," said Kettner at a press conference Thursday.

"We are being cautious and following the advice... to hold onto the remaining stock until we get further information."

About 1,500 doses of the vaccine were sent to Ontario, but officials say none were administered. Officials are now shelving them until the investigation is complete.

The Alberta government has stopped giving out doses from the same batch, although it says it has not seen a jump in allergic reactions.

Health officials say the batch being investigated is fairly small, so it should not have an impact on the overall supply.

Earlier this week, the country's chief public health officer, Dr. David Butler-Jones, noted that of the 6.6 million doses of H1N1 vaccine given so far to Canadians, there have been 36 serious adverse reactions reported.

Most involved allergic reactions that began within minutes of vaccination. All were treated promptly by medical people at the vaccination site.

Milder side effects, such as nausea, soreness, headaches and fever, have also been seen, which is not unexpected. Seasonal flu vaccines have been known to cause such reactions every year.

One person is believed to have died from an anaphylactic reaction following vaccination, but Butler-Jones stressed the death hasn't been conclusively linked to the flu shot.

Swine Flu Deception and Disinformation Exposed

2009-11-20T14:51:00.000-08:00

There has been a flurry of contradictory swine flu events reported here and from Ukraine this early fall. These coincided with a CBS news program releasing information that very few reported swine cases actually tested positive for H1N1. CBS's state by state survey discovered that less than 5 percent of flu cases reported in most American states were confirmed as H1N1.

In most states less than half the reported cases were not even a flu of any type! The CDC and WHO conveniently canceled the need for laboratory swine flu confirmations in mid-summer 2009. That makes it easier to pump up the statistics, doesn't it?

Back Ground Details

Since the WHO this year changed the criteria for declaring a pandemic from worldwide high mortality rates to infections only, it's easier to claim a pandemic with the Swine Flu. Connect these dots: Swine Flu is actually less severe than a normal seasonal flu. But it is highly contagious!

So why bother with this rule juggling to make it easy to categorize a spreading flu as a pandemic? Once the stage 6 pandemic level is called, and it has been, the WHO via the United Nations becomes a medical dictator by international law to almost 200 member nations.

And over the past few years, laws have been arranged to exclude Big Pharma and governments from being financially liable for vaccine related injuries and deaths during a pandemic. A license to kill?

Remember the Baxter incident a few months ago? Jane Burgermeister reported a fortuitous discovery of 72 kilos of contaminated seasonal flu that were "accidentally" delivered to 18 European countries.

Vaccine industry security systems make it virtually impossible for an accident of that magnitude to occur. Here are some specifics:

72 kilos of raw vaccine materials will produce many thousands of jabs.
The contaminant found in those vaccine materials was Bird Flu, H5N1
The Bird Flu virus was live and not attenuated.
H5N1 was reportedly in USA labs as a bioweapon to replicate the 1918 pandemic.
Though H5N1 virus is highly lethal, its infection rate is extremely low.
Conclusion - a recombinant strain produced from Bird Flu live viruses and a seasonal or Swine Flu strain can create a virus with morbidity (high widespread death rate).

Last August, an international microbiologist in California, Joseph Moshe, called anti-vaccination activist Dr. A. True Ott, warning him of a bioweapon at Baxter's facilities in Ukraine that could be used to create a pandemic. Dr. Ott divulged this on Deagle's radio show after Moshe was forcefully apprehended.

The Ukrainian Incident

Up until the 29th of October, there were only two non-lethal swine flu cases reported within Ukraine's 46 million population. Very few Ukrainians were getting vaccinations of any kind! Then on the 30th, there were reports of an epidemic! Swine flu hysteria broke out and spread across Europe.

The symptoms resembled a horrible sudden viral pneumonia that causes victims to drown in their own fluids from heavy internal bleeding. These sudden lethal symptoms of hemorrhagic pneumonia are similar to the 1918 flu pandemic. They are not current swine flu symptoms!

Just before Ukraine's pneumonic plague, there were many reports of small aircraft and helicopters spraying unidentified aerosols over populated areas. The aerosols made breathing difficult for those exposed. The government denied this activity. Remember Joseph Moshe's warning?

And now martial law is being enforced in Ukraine, with quarantines and anti vaccination activists being arrested! Mass vaccinations may come soon.

Conclusion

Ukraine could be the launching pad for a man-made pandemic with morbidity. Why? Do your own research!

GREEK DOCTORS AND NURSES SHUN SWINE FLU JAB

2009-11-18T12:38:00.000-08:00

According to various news items appearing in the Greek media, the doctors and nurses of Greece are following the line already marked out by their colleagues in Europe and the USA, staying away from the vaccination programme for the “new flu”. Most doctors and other medical staff at the hospitals have not gone to be vaccinated, setting the example for other citizens.

Of course this news which is so pleasing to us is displeasing to the “authorities”, who for months now have been trying to frighten citizens, pressuring them in every possible way to be vaccinated. The classic example is Mrs. Giamarellou, who is continuing to a deplore the stance of the doctors, speaking of a “lack of scientific foundation” for the doctors’ present stance of reluctance, employing the unscientific argument that “millions of people in the world have been vaccinated, so that there are no grounds for anxiety.” She neglects of course, apparently deliberately, to mention the scientific studies that indicate the fact that many of the unpleasant consequences of vaccines appear months and years after the vaccination. … Truly, whose benefit does this lady have in mind? Is she interested in people’s health or the pockets of pharmaceutical companies and the agendas of the WHO?

Because it is undeniable that if it weren’t for alternative information services, she may well have succeeded in her dark plans.

Response less than expected to the vaccination programme against the new flu

As far as the vaccination programme is concerned, which started on Monday with hospital staff, the data appear disappointing , as most doctors and nurses chose not to be vaccinated.

(As indicated, what is good for us is “disappointing” for some others.)

· At the Red Cross vaccination centre only 79 vaccinations were administered – and of these 20 went to people belonging to the high risk group.

· At the General State around 50-55 doctors and nurses were vaccinated and six members of the public.

· At the Evangelismos – the largest hospital in Attica, with around 3,000 employees, only 60 doctors and nurses were vaccinated.

The picture was similar in the hospitals of Thessaloniki.

· At the AHEPA hospital only 40 of the staff, of a total of 1,000, turned up to be vaccinated.

· At the Papageorgiou hospital 10 out of 1,200 turned up.

It is judged that the statements of the President of the Committee for the Influenza Pandemic at the St. Paul hospital, Stratos Plomaritis, had a significant effect. Dr. Plomaritis resigned from his position, expressing reservations as to the necessity for the vaccination.

It is characteristic that at the St. Paul hospital nobody was vaccinated, of a total staff of 750.

Congratulations to Dr. Plomaritis and to all the principled medical specialists who are respecting the vows they have taken.

But the “officials” of the “vaccinate in fear” programme are continuing to issue reassurances and to hope that the resistance of doctors and of the public will bend.

The President of the Committee for the Influenza Pandemic Eleni Giamarellou stated that there is no scientific foundation for the reservations being expressed.

“We Greeks are in a relatively favourable position compared to other Europeans, given that millions of people in the world have already been vaccinated, so that we know there are no grounds for anxiety.”

President Obama and his top health officials are engaging in a major public relations effort to divert attention away from whether its swine flu vaccine is effective and safe by focusing attention on whether there is enough of it to go around. And the media is cooperating fully.

Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh criticisms of the government's plan to vaccinate virtually the entire U.S. population with a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more people than it helps.

The CDC's public relations campaign has been running "scare" ads that portray swine flu as a full-blown "pandemic" responsible for snuffing out countless lives. But scientists and health officials throughout the world have called the governments claims unjustified and deliberately misleading.

Dr. Mercola's comments

The article above, written by Richard Gale, a former Senior Research Analyst in the biotechnology and genomic industries, and Dr. Gary Null, author of Vaccine Nation, highlights one of the latest propaganda techniques used to frighten you into action, namely "scarcity of H1N1 vaccines."

We've seen this tactic used before, with great effect, as people rush to the nearest vaccination facility to make sure they don't miss the opportunity to be the one to get this rare life sustaining elixir.

It amazes me that despite all the evidence to the contrary, health officials and mass media are still saying the swine flu could kill some 90,000 Americans - if we don't all get vaccinated.

There is simply NO evidence to support this outlandish projection. The evidence actually points to the exact opposite, that this season will have LESS deaths from flu than last year.

The data is very clear that it's a milder than normal virus, only a few percent of all cases with the designation "swine flu" are actually the H1N1 virus, and in the Southern Hemisphere, people got over the wave of the flu just fine, before the vaccine was even available.

Government's Claims Unjustified and Deliberately Misleading

Gale and Null mention two distinguished health experts who have gone on the record to rebut government scare tactics.
"Dr. Anthony Morris, a distinguished virologist and former Chief Vaccine Office at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA), states that "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza" and that "The producers of these vaccines know they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."

And in November 2007, the UK newspaper The Scotsman, made public warnings by the inventor of the "flu jab," Dr. Graeme Laver.

Dr. Laver was a major Australian scientist involved in the invention of a flu vaccine, in addition to playing a leading scientific role in the discovery of anti-flu drugs. He went on record as saying the vaccine he helped to create was ineffective and [that] natural infection with the flu was safer. "I have never been impressed with its efficacy," said Dr. Laver."
So why is it that when it comes to public health decisions, government refuses to hear but one side of the argument?

Why are our health officials ignoring all the experts who have direct involvement with vaccines and claim to know they are neither as safe, nor as effective, as the drug industry insists they are?

What Can You Learn From History?

The last time we trusted industry and their appointed government lackeys about the swine flu vaccine, the vaccine ended up killing 300 times more people than the flu itself! It was 1976, and an outbreak of swine flu supposedly threatened the lives of millions.

But instead of the flu killing millions of people, it claimed ONE life, whereas the vaccine turned out to contain the real danger.

Twenty five people died from severe pulmonary complications after receiving the swine flu vaccine, and about 500 cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome were reported after vaccination. Some 300 claims were later filed by families of Guillain-Barre Syndrome victims who died from the disease.

The 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle ended up costing the US government $3.5 billion in damages to some 4,000 vaccine injured Americans -- a direct result of the CDC's intensive vaccination campaign.

Speeding ahead with our current mass vaccination policy after such a history lesson is plain foolish. Apparently, those in charge have chosen to learn nothing.

I agree with Gale and Null when they say that being anti-vaccine or pro-vaccine is not the most urgent issue here.

The most critical point is to evaluate whether or not there is legitimate, sound science to support either position. They write:
"... in this regard, the vaccine manufacturers and our federal health agencies have failed in the past, and continue to fail today. And they fail dismally.

There is absolutely no evidence for sound-scientific protocol or anything resembling a gold-standard behind the swine flu infection statistics and vaccine efficacy and safety clinical trials to support Obama's and his health advisors' claims. Instead, the reports on hospitalizations and deaths due to the H1N1 virus are grossly distorted."
How Many Swine Flu Cases Actually Involve the H1N1 Virus?

They bring up another critical point that most people are not aware of -- that what is being reported as swine flu is in fact NOT swine flu, or even the regular flu!

As of August 30, 2009, the CDC ceased testing and counting actual H1N1 virus infections. As of that date, any and all cases or deaths of people exhibiting "flu like symptoms" are automatically tallied as an "H1N1 case," artificially driving up the perceived threat.

The CDC's public explanation is that they are convinced a pandemic is underway and, therefore, accurate monitoring is unnecessary because it's so widespread, world-wide.

However, as I'll show you in just a moment, this is simply not true! Yes, the H1N1 virus has appeared world-wide, but it is not the CAUSE of most flu like illness and death. In fact, the H1N1 virus is a tiny player, causing very little trouble.

Gale and Null explain:
"The truth is that we move annually into periods where there are dramatic increases in flu-like causing pathogens, however, the majority of these are unrelated to any strain of influenza virus.

There can between 150 and 200 different infectious pathogens - adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza, the very common coronavirus and, of course, pneumonia - that produce flu-like symptoms, and worse, during a "flu season."

For example, how many people have heard of bocavirus, which is responsible for bronchitis and pneumonia in young children, or metapneumovirus, responsible for more than 5 percent of all flu-related illnesses? This is true during every flu season and this year is no different.

Furthermore, all flu vaccinations, including the swine flu, are useless for protecting people from these many prevalent infectious organisms."
CBS News, after conducting a three-month investigation into the swine flu statistics, uncovered a number of very sobering facts that clearly show this swine flu pandemic for the cruel hoax it really is.

To be more precise, it was Sharyl Attkisson, an investigative correspondent for CBS News, who single-handedly uncovered this.

Sharyl has agreed to allow me to interview her about her ground breaking efforts in exposing this massive misinformation campaign, and I will feature her interview shortly.

Before beginning their investigation, Sharyl Attkisson asked the CDC for state-by-state test results prior to their halting of testing and tracking. The CDC did not initially respond, so she went to all 50 states directly, asking for their statistics on state lab-confirmed H1N1 prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July.

What did they find? Sharyl reported:
"The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico."
As you can see from this CBS News graphic, not only are most cases of suspected flu-like illnesses not H1N1, they're not even the flu but more likely some type of cold or upper respiratory infection!

The interesting part of this is that a lot of these facts are not really hidden from you. Simply looking through the CDC's own website with a critical eye and a rational mind, you can discover the truth for yourself.

Here's just one example that contradicts what they're saying in their official missives.

According to their own data, far fewer people have died from H1N1 than any seasonal flu in the past, world-wide!

For the US, this graph from the CDC, showing the "Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality for 122 US Cities" also shows that, so far, this year's flu mortality is FAR below that of 2008.

Were you panicking last year?

If not, why should you panic now when the risks are at a near all-time LOW?

Really, sit down somewhere and seriously think about this for a moment...

In light of all the facts, the question that begs to be asked is "Why is the government and their handmaidens, the media, fueling this panic mentality?"

Why are we once again talking about vaccination for every man woman and child in the nation, or, in fact, the world?

Why are Vaccine Safety Advocates Equated to Anti-Vaccine Fringe Lunatics?

Do you, or do you not, want the products injected into your body to be safe and reasonably effective?

If you do, you'll need to seriously consider who is actually looking out for your health and safety, because the drug industry is not, and health officials with industry ties are not, and the FDA, which has a revolving door to the drug industry, isn't doing it either.

Everyone wants safety. No one wants to get hurt by a drug or a vaccine, or have their child adversely affected . But few want to do what's necessary to ensure such safety exists. Those who insist on it are branded as quacks and lunatics.

It's an interesting dilemma... But it explains why many health care professionals stay mum on the subject, for fear of hurting their professional status.

Others, for whatever reason, are convinced vaccines offer the best protection against viruses, completely ignoring how your body and immune system actually works; how real immunity is achieved; and how your lifestyle affects your risk for complications.

For example, in session 1 of a Council On Foreign Relations Symposium on Pandemic Influenza: Science, Economics and Foreign Policy, held on October 16, 2009, an attendee identified as Tom Wilson (ph) from Cornell Medical School made the following statement to the panel:
"Sir, I think we're all aware that the anti-vaccine movement is having a field day on the Internet and on media outlooks like Fox News and so on, causing productions in vaccine uptake, and it appears to be a pretty unholy alliance of the ultra right and the ultra left working together to sort of hit with strong anti-tactics.

I'm not sure we're countering these people very well, and one of the things I do in my spare time is counter the AIDS denial, as to people believe (who) HIV is harmless or doesn't exist, and which led to the deaths of over 350,000 people in South Africa over the past decade.

And you have to take these people on in a different style than scientists are used to. We have to develop better sound bites. We have to develop better discussion. You don't really -- you can't really debate these people, but you have to develop the counter methods.

For example, you hear that we shouldn't take flu vaccines because the mercury will kill us. Well, Paul Offit in the New York Times last week pointed out that there is less mercury in a flu shot than there is in a tuna fish sandwich, and that's a powerful sound bite to use against the crazy people who think that vaccines will kill you. That's just one example.

We need to develop anti-tactics to get across the message that vaccines are safe and beneficial to society, and we need to learn to deal with the crazy people who would try and stop us doing that."
(For the full transcript, see this link.)

The kind of sound bites this man recommends are just the type of dangerous misinformation we're trying to teach you about. Because to think that the mercury you'd ingest from fish would affect you in the same way as mercury being injected straight into your body, bypassing all of your body's natural defenses and detoxing mechanisms is simply false.

Why H1N1 Likely Will NEVER Be a True Pandemic Threat

To finish up, I'd like to quote Peter Palese, Professor and Chair, Microbiology and Professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Mount Sinai School of Medicine - one of the panel members of the Council On Foreign Relations Symposium on Pandemic Influenza:
" ... So, clearly, when I say this 2009 virus is like another seasonal virus, I don't mean this is a harmless virus which we should ignore. No. The regular flu is bad enough and this 2009 virus is also bad enough. Having said that, it lacks certain signatures, certain molecular signs which are associated with the 1918 pandemic and then explained in 1957 and in 1968, and that is one of the genes.

... It has a technical name, PB1F2, and that is missing in the 2009 virus. And it could acquire this by exchanging that mini-chromosome and getting one which carries that PB1F2 or by point mutation, however, and that would make it more virulent.

However, it is sort of like if I put a more powerful engine into a VW, if I put a Lamborghini engine into a VW or a little Fiat or some car, it may not be better. It may not fit. It may not mesh and that, I think, may also be happening with the 2009.

By accumulating and getting mutations or getting this other gene, more virulent gene, it may not end up as something which is really a sports car which runs 200 miles an hour, so there is a lot which has to sort of fit and mesh in order to make a virus really a 1918 or 1957."
Folks, from every which angle, the swine flu pandemic is NOT what it's being made out to be. Perhaps it's all about greed and POWER - the government and corporations controlling what gets into your body and what goes into their bank accounts; about making a few bucks in a suffering economy when people can't afford their regular medications and sales are down.

Perhaps it's about saving face. They over-reacted, they hyped it up, and no one wants to admit they cried wolf - especially since billions of dollars were spent on vaccines that no one really needs.

But, like Gale and Dr. Null said, "The lie is too large for them to not expose themselves if you simply look."

It's true.

Remember, as tragic as any death is, the greater tragedy is using the few deaths that have occurred -- which were in most cases not directly caused by the H1N1 virus - as fuel to get rid of useless vaccines that may do more harm than good.

There are signs that the public across the world is starting to "get" it, however.

France, for example, has only been able to convince 0.1 percent of their population to get vaccinated. As of November 5, only 50,000 Frenchmen had lined up for the shot since the beginning of their campaign, out of a population of 65 million. And only 10 percent of health care workers have received the vaccine.

The French Health minister called the mass vaccination campaign "timid."

Let's keep it that way, everywhere, for everyone's safety.

Mother vaccinated: Foetus dead

2009-11-17T05:11:00.000-08:00

In declarations to RTP (Portuguese Radio Television), Ana Jorge asserted that “the fact that the pregnant woman was vaccinated, at 34 weeks of pregnancy, before the occurrence of the fetus death 'in utero' was a coincidence in time”.

The ministry of health hopes that the autopsy can confirm that there isn't any type cause-effect.
“We are confident. Including, today in the morning the obstetrics that work more in this area said that there isn't a causal relation”, said Ana Jorge. “There is no reference in the whole world, in vaccinated pregnant women, that a situation like this has occurred.

Autopsy results of the baby should be known this week

The mother of the baby had been vaccinated the 10th of November against the H1N1 virus, being a little while later hospitalized with suspicions that the baby could be dead, which came to be verified this Sunday, the 15th .

A source from the health ministry said that “the autopsy will be made in the Egas Moniz hospital as fast as possible”.

“The results take a few days after the realization of the autopsy".

Autopsy ordered on German who died after H1N1 vaccination

2009-11-16T07:27:00.000-08:00

Erfurt, Germany - An autopsy has been ordered on a man who died five hours after receiving a vaccination against swine flu, officials in the central German city of Erfurt said Monday. Germany has bought 50 million doses of the vaccine to offer free to as many of its 80 million people who want protection, but an old and passionate controversy about whether vaccines are good or bad has flared anew among the public and the media.

While pro-vaccine Germans have clamoured at medical centres for their jabs, anti-vaccination groups claim that the vaccine contains dangerous levels of mercury and is potentially lethal. The man's death has become major news.

The Ministry of Social Affairs in the state of Thuringia said the 55-year-old man who died last Thursday had received his jab, then went out to play bowls. On returning home he felt unwell and phoned an emergency doctor, who was unable to save his life.

The man had no medical history of health problems. Pathologists will look for evidence of any connection between his death and the vaccination, and a report will take several days to complete.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says lengthy tests have shown the vaccine is safe and has very few side-effects. Germany began vaccinating last month. So far doctors have not been able to keep up with the high demand.

Last week a 65-year-old German woman with cardiac illness died just after being vaccinated, but an official doctor who examined the body said the vaccine had not been the cause of death.

A spokesman in Thuringia said Germans should bear in mind that the A(H1N1) influenza virus was far more dangerous to people's health and lives than the vaccine against it, with 16 people in Germany having died so far from the disease.
