Think twice about that flu shot....

<<< Back to Vaccines

"The Flu Shot" has a base of Thimerosal (Mercury) and it was a common denominator of many who died of what they called SARS (which was only pneumonia/flu, which kills over 7,600 Canadians annually and never raises a flag anywhere...) Read this before you go lining up to be stabbed, particularly before allowing them to inject your children... remember that certain shots, like the MMR, are noted for their distinct connection to neural damages that are irreparable, like autism and epilepsy...

UNDERNEATH THE LIES ABOUT VACCINES

DECEMBER 1. On December 3, this Wednesday night, I�ll be appearing on the radio show, Coast to Coast AM, with George Noory. The show will center on THE PHARMACEUTICAL EMPIRE VERSUS NATURAL HEALTH.

I hope you get friends to listen, because this is going to be an expose, reaching millions of people, about the deadly effects of the pharmaceutical system.

Here are more stats, compiled from a UPI article dated July 21, 2003, titled �UPI Investigates: The vaccine conflict,� by Mark Benjamin:

�Since the mid-1980s the agency [Centers for Disease Control�CDC] has doubled the number of vaccines children get, up to nearly 40 doses before age 2. The CDC also tracks possible side effects, along with the Food and Drug Administration. This puts the agency [CDC] in the awkward position of evaluating the [post-marketing] safety of its own [vaccine] recommendations.�

Otherwise called conflict of interest.

�The CDC is in the vaccine business. Under a 1980 law, the CDC currently has 28 licensing agreements with companies and one university for vaccines or vaccine-related products. It has eight ongoing projects to collaborate on new vaccines�The situation, while legal, gives critics plenty of reason to worry that vaccine side effects are worse than CDC officials say.�

Conflict of interest.

Starting in 1991, five years after Congress passed a law mandating a database at CDC to track vaccine adverse effects, the system was set up. Since then---through December 2002---�the system contained 244,424 total reports of possible reactions to vaccines, including 98,145 emergency room visits, 5,149 life-threatening reactions, 27,925 hospitalizations, 5,775 disabilities, and 5,309 deaths, according to data compiled by Dr. Mark Geier, a vaccine researcher in Silver Spring, Md��

Clearly, these reports of adverse effects get into the database at CDC via doctors who have administered the vaccines to patients. Most doctors are reluctant to admit their treatments are having direct devastating results, so you can multiply the recorded stats on this database by a factor of�what? to get the actual truth�.

Well, in the related area of medical-drug adverse reports forwarded to the FDA, we have heard we should multiply by anywhere from 10 to 100 to get the real story.

If you do the math, you�ll find that, by the CDC�s own records, we are talking about 20,368 adverse-reaction reports a year. If you multiply that by 10, you get 200,368.

In August of 2001, a finding issued by Republicans on the House Government Reform Committee concluded that �four out of eight CDC advisory committee members who voted to approve guidelines for the rotavirus vaccine in June 1998 had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies that were developing different versions of the vaccine.�

This vaccine was approved---and then later withdrawn from the market because it was injuring and killing people.

�Since the mid 1980s, the number of childhood vaccinations recommended by the CDC had nearly doubled. The agency recommends nearly 40 doses of vaccines for children today. Also, since the mid-1980s the autism rate in the United States had soared by 10 times to an astonishing one child in every 300��

One of the factors---perhaps the leading factor---in vaccines that could cause autism is thimerosal, a mercury product. Mercury is a known neurotoxin.

�Depending on what vaccines a child got during that period [mid-1980s to the present], a visit to the doctor during the 1990s may have exposed some children to 125 times the limit on mercury set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

�A February 2000 draft of [Dr. Thomas] Verstraeten�s study [done for the CDC, where Verstraeten was an advisor], obtained by United Press International, appears to show that thimerosal might cause brain problems.

�This draft cites �increasing risks of neurological developmental disorders with increasing cumulative exposure to thimerosal.��

Verstraeten�s report caused a private uproar within the CDC. So a meeting was called to discuss it. June 7-8, 2000, at the Simpsonwood Retreat Center in Norcross, Georgia. �The agency [CDC] invited vaccine experts and representatives of four vaccine manufacturers.�

�After discussing that study, Dr. David Johnson, a Michigan state public officer advising the CDC on vaccines, said that the findings were troubling, according to a transcript.�

�My gut feeling? It worries me enough,� said Johnson. �I do not want (my) grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on.�

It should be noted that, for anyone with a few active IQ points, much less an expert, mercury as a toxin present in vaccines was a decades-old issue begging for attention.

�Later in the same conversation [with Dr. Johnson], CDC officials agreed to keep the [Verstraeten] study private.�

H E L L O?

H E L L O?

Bob Chen, head of the CDC Vaccine Safety and Development unit, said: �WE HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED SO FAR THAT GIVEN THE SENSITIVITY OF INFORMATION, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT OUT OF, LET�S SAY, LESS RESPONSIBLE HANDS.� (Caps are mine.)

At this point you might be wondering why Chen�s remarks, why this whole UPI piece was not a headline-grabbing, blaring monstrosity across the United States after it first appeared last July. After all, UPI is a wire service. Every day, it sends its stories out to its media clients.

Can you imagine the number of seedy criminals who contributed to killing the potential reach of these revelations?

There is more. In this same damage-control CDC meeting, Dr. Roger Bernier, �who was then CDC�s associate director for science, responded, �I think if we will all just consider this [to be] embargoed information, if I can use that term.�� In other words, he was saying the CDC should cover up and hide and block what was starting to ooze out and consider it secret and forbidden for dissemination.

There can be no doubt of motive here: to protect the CDC and the vaccine companies and the US government and the medical cartel from a kind of publicity---based on sheer facts---that could cause a trembling of the whole structure.

UPI tried to contact Dr. Verstraeten for an interview. Guess what? He had left the CDC and moved back to Europe. �GlaxoSmithKline declined UPI�s request to interview Verstraeten from Rixensart, Belgium��

Excuse me? A vaccine manufacturer intercedes and tells a wire service this doctor may not be interviewed? I suppose we should assume Verstraeten is now working for Glaxo and is being kept in a cage where he eats bananas.

And this isn�t a front page story with legs? Are you kidding?

In the same month (June 2000) as the damage-control meeting, the CDC issued a statement �calling for the removal of thimerosal from vaccines �because any potential risk from mercury is of concern�However, there remains no convincing evidence of harm caused by low levels of thimerosal in vaccines.��

Very cute. That�s like saying, �If a child were exposed to only low levels of mercury---he was actually exposed to high levels---then that would constitute no risk��

If you had not been run over by the car, you would not have suffered multiple injuries. But you were run over.

About a year after that June 2000 CDC meeting, the vaccine advisory panel of the CDC admitted it is �biologically plausible� that thimerosal causes autism, but �current scientific evidence neither proves nor disproves a link.� Waffle waffle lie lie waffle lie lie waffle obfuscate.

What would constitute scientific evidence? A human being shrunk down to the size of a pinhead traveling inside a little ship that follows mercury into the body of a baby and films its effects?

Mercury is a neurotoxin.

It has been in many vaccines, at a cumulative level deemed far over the limit for safety.

Mercury is injected into the body with the vaccine.

Autism is a neurological condition. Use whatever name you want to. A neurotoxin causes damage to the nervous system and the brain.

Therefore, vaccines have been causing very serious damage to the nervous system and brain.

Of course, it would be a major mistake to think that all vaccine damage stems from mercury and only mercury.

Take, as just one example among many, the vaccine for Lyme Disease. Such a vaccine was approved by the CDC on February 18, 1999. The UPI article I�m highlighting had a few things to say on this subject.

�By October of 2000, more than 1.4 million people had received the vaccine, according to the CDC.

�But 18 months later, in February 2002, SmithKline Beecham pulled the vaccine off the market because �sales of LYMERIX are insufficient to justify the continued investment.��

�The company also faced hundreds of lawsuits by people who said they suffered side effects��

�The government�s database of possible side effects for LYMERIX lists 640 emergency room visits, 34 life-threatening reactions, 77 hospitalizations, 198 disabilities and six deaths after people took the shots since the CDC endorsed it.�

Do the math. Multiply, conservatively, the number of adverse effects of the vaccine by 10.

Or 100.

It�s very likely that vaccine ingredients other than mercury caused such accelerated numbers of serious reactions in adults who received it.

And then we have this: �According to CDC meeting transcripts where the advisory committee weighed its recommendation [and ultimately endorsed the vaccine against Lyme Disease for public use], five of 10 committee members disclosed their financial conflicts of interest with vaccine manufacturers. Three of the five had conflicts of interest with SmithKlineBeecham [the manufacturer of the Lyme vaccine].�

Let�s move over to the Hepatitis B vaccine. �The CDC�s files contain 32,731 total reports of possible reactions following Hepatitis B vaccinations since 1991, including 10,915 emergency room visits, 685 life-threatening reactions, 3,700 hospitalizations, 1,200 disabilities and 618 deaths.�

Suppose we simply multiply the 32,000 adverse reactions by 10.

Well, it turns out that several of the health officials who took part, at the CDC in 1991, in recommending this vaccine FOR ALL NEWBORN INFANTS, �had close ties to vaccine manufacturers.�

Dr. Sam Katz was chairman of this CDC committee in 1991. He also �worked as a paid consultant for Merck, Wyeth, and most major vaccine manufacturers.� Merck manufactures a Hepatitis B vaccine.

Katz is the man who said that 30 percent of the children who get Hepatitis B (the disease) get it from unknown causes---and therefore it�s best to hit them early (in the hours right after birth) with the vaccine. Of course, Hepatitis B actually comes from shared needles (junkies) and sex�babies are not at risk.

Independent researchers have challenged the CDC�s opinion that many, many children not shooting drugs and not having sex are still getting Hepatitis B.

Another member of the CDC vaccine committee who endorsed the Hepatitis B vaccine for all babies was Dr. Neil Halsey.

�Halsey�has done research paid for by most of the major vaccine manufacturers�He also established the Johns Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety, started in part with �unrestricted educational grants in 1997 from several vaccine manufacturers and some private donations,� according to Halsey.�

SO�.WHEN YOU READ STATEMENTS FROM HEALTH OFFICIALS WHO ESSENTIALLY SAY VACCINES ARE WONDERFUL AND SAFE AND THE CRITICS ARE QUACKS, YOU CAN THINK BACK TO THESE FACTS AND THESE REVELATIONS AND THESE DISTURBING COVER-UPS OF LIES AND CRIMES. YOU CAN THINK ABOUT WHO THE REAL CRIMINALS ARE. UNLESS YOU�D RATHER NOT THINK. UNLESS YOU�D RATHER JUST LINE UP AT THE TROUGH AND TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.
