ALERT Canadians: Toxic Ingredients in the Arepanrix H1N1 Vaccine Harm Your Health

Health Canada has authorized the sale of Arepanrix™ H1N1 vaccine based on no conclusive clinical testing. The authorization is based on the Health Canada review of available data on the quality, safety and immunogenicity of similar vaccines, which established the benefit/risk profile in favour of inoculating the Canadian population.

Read the Notice of Decision issued by Health Canada. The decision by the Health Minister was based on a belief (not qualified or informed) that immediate action is required to deal with the H1N1 risk. The assertion that the decision is based on limited clinical testing is being misapplied. There has been NO conclusive results from any clinical trials on the Arepanrix H1N1 vaccine.

This report is designed to inform you how the risks outweigh the benefits of the vaccine. It will demonstrate how the Health Canada assessment is flawed and contradictory to established research on the detrimental health effects of the vaccine ingredients contained in Arepanrix.

Description and Composition

Arepanrix™ H1N1 (AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine) is a two-component vaccine consisting of an H1N1 antigen (as a suspension), and an AS03 adjuvant (as an oil-in-water emulsion).

The virus is inactivated followed by formaldehyde treatment and disrupted with sodium deoxycholate.

Preservative content:
5µg (micrograms) Thimerosal USP per 0.5mL dose or 2.5 micrograms organic mercury (Hg) per 0.5mL dose

Adjuvant:
The AS03 adjuvant system is composed of DL-α-tocopherol, squalene and polysorbate 80 in a 3mL vial:

DL-α-tocopherol: 11.86 milligrams/0.5mL dose
Squalene: 10.69 milligrams/0.5mL dose,
Polysorbate 80: 4.86 milligrams/0.5mL dose

Analysis of Ingredients

Formaldehyde

According to the Australian National Research Council, fewer than 20% but perhaps more than 10% of the general population may be susceptible to formaldehyde and may react acutely at any exposure level.

More hazardous than most chemicals in 5 out of 12 ranking systems, on at least 8 federal regulatory lists, it is ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to ecosystems and human health (Environmental Defense Fund).

Formalyn a 37 percent solution of gaseous formaldehyde which includes methano (used in vaccines as a tissue fixative) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor is toxic.

In the body, formaldehyde can cause proteins to irreversibly bind to DNA. Laboratory animals exposed to doses of inhaled formaldehyde over their lifetimes have developed more cancers of the nose and throat than are usual, as have workers in particle-board sawmills… Formaldehyde is classifed as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Sodium Deoxycholate

Sodium Deoxycholate is a water soluble ionic detergent/bile salt which causes cell death and symptoms such as burning, redness, and swelling. It has been shown to weaken the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and subsequently activate seizures. It has demonstrated synergistic toxicity with antifungal drugs.

Detergents and emulsifiers promote tumors and cause cells to leak or explode by weakening their walls, with no mechanism for regulating destructive activity. These chemicals are not completely purified out of the final vaccine product, so they enter the body at the time of injection.

Detergents are used extensively in cell research precisely because of their ability to break cells open for further analysis. This catastrophically mimics the membrane attack complex (MAC). Detergents hit cells at random and continue destroying cells regardless of which call off the attack.

Sodium Deoxycholate is completely foreign to the relationships that define and make up the delicate balance of the immune system. It systematically disrupts these relationships to negate the optimal function and design of immune responses.

Thimerosal

Thimerosal has powerful and damaging effects on cells of the nervous and immune systems in mammals including humans. Its effect may vary depending on the dose, the genetics of the individual, and the timing of exposure. The mercury dose from thimerosal produces acute and often deadly ethylmercury blood levels.

Organic forms of mercury are well-known neurotoxic agents
and far more dangerous than inorganic mercury sources. Exposure to organic mercury produces predominantly central nervous system (CNS) effects that are commonly severe and can induce prolonged unconsciousness, coma and death. (See: Acta Chim. Slov. 2004, 51, 361-372)

After only 2 hour exposures, thimerosal at micromolar concentrations causes neuronal membrane damage and alterations leading to cell death in immune T-cells.

Thimerosal alters the functioning of critical neurotransmitters necessary for proper brain functioning.

Thimerosal causes DNA fragmentation of neuronal cells and disrupts
neuronal growth factor signaling at micromolar and even nanomolar concentrations. It also causes DNA methylation and attentional
pathways at nanomolar concentrations, leading to alterations in brain function.

Under microscopic magnification the following video presentation by the University of Calgary demonstrates the immediate damage mercury does to the structure of brain cells.

Squalene in AS03 adjuvant

Too dangerous for human use, Squalene is not officially licensed for use in the United States or Canada. Oil adjuvants like squalene have been ordinarily used to inflict diseases in animals – for experimentation and study. According to anthrax vaccine expert Gary Matsumoto and other reliable sources, the US military used an unlicensed, experimental anthrax vaccination laced with squalene, with disastrous consequences, including Gulf War Sydrome.

"There are now data in more than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers, from ten different laboratories in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, documenting that squalene-based adjuvants can induce autoimmune diseases in animals, observed in mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Sweden's Karolinska Institute has demonstrated that squalene alone can induce the animal version of rheumatoid arthritis. The Polish Academy of Sciences has shown that in animals, squalene alone can produce catastrophic injury to the nervous system and the brain. The University of Florida Medical School has shown that in animals, squalene alone can induce production of antibodies specifically associated with systemic lupus erythematosus" writes Matsumoto.

Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time according to a 2000 article in The American Journal of Pathology. The study demonstrated that a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered a chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation, also known as rheumatoid arthritis. The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Polysorbate 80

Polysorbate 80 is similar to Sodium Deoxycholate in its ability to increase cell permeability, damage, and bursting. After injection it can rapidly metabolize into sorbitol and ethylene oxide which is much more toxic than the original chemical. When Polysorbate 80 breaks down there are 20 moles of ethylene oxide for every mole of sorbitol. These polysorbates have been shown to cause dangerous, sometimes fatal effects, when given through a needle. Changes in heart function can occur immediately. The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) can be weakened and penetrated, followed by seizures and even death. Polysorbates demonstrate synergistic toxicity with a wide range of chemicals.

Polysorbate 80 has been found to negatively affect the immune system and cause severe anaphylactic shock which can kill. According to Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Volume 95, Number 6, December 2005 , pp. 593-599(7), "it is of current relevance as a 'hidden' inductor of anaphylactoid reactions", and "Polysorbate 80 was identified as the causative agent for the anaphylactoid reaction of nonimmunologic origin in the patient. The study included a pregnant woman who suffered anaphylactic shock after being given a IV drip of multi-vitamins containing polysorbate 80.

In addition to this, there have been studies in Food and Chemical Toxicology which showed that Polysorbate 80 causes infertility. Baby female rats were injected with polysorbate 80 at days 4-7 after birth. It accelerated the maturing of the rats and caused changes to the vagina and womb lining, hormonal changes, ovary deformities and degenerative follicles.

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, which is part of the United Nations, scientists from the organization are developing vaccines specifically to damage fertility as a method of contraception. A suggested ingredient for the vaccine is Polysorbate 80 (also known as tween 80). As it is a preferred ingredient, scientists are obviously aware of its ability to cause infertility.

Discussion

There are currently NO clinical trials or results which have validated the long-term safety and efficacy of the Arepanrix H1N1vaccine and its integrated AS03 adjuvant. Regulatory health agencies are refusing to acknowledge this fact or the nature of toxicity levels associated with Arepanrix and its ingredients. The well documented toxicity evidence for each ingredient presented above is simply being ignored.

A simple search on the ClinicalTrials.gov website shows that three "Rapid Evaluation" studies for Arepanrix H1N1vaccine have not even initiated recruiting as of the date this article was published.

One of the most critical elements which defines the toxicity potential of any vaccine are its pharmacokinetic properties. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Health Canada do not consider the study, analysis or evaluatation of the pharmacokinetic properties of any vaccine including Arepanrix. This means that the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of ingredients within the Arepanrix vaccine are not known or even considered in safety assessments. This in itself is a highly suspicious and negligent behavior which leaves many questions on the credbility and reputability of GlaxoSmithKline and Health Canada and their motives for marketing this vaccine to the Canadian population.

Adults aged 18-60 years:
Dosage recommendations of 0.5ml are based on very limited clinical evidence of safety and immunogenicity data available from two 3-week studies. Neither study has validated the long-term immunogencity, safety, toxicity, or pharmacodynamics of the vaccine based on any dosage. Clinically, the shortest acceptable period to study the side effects of any vaccine is 6-8 weeks. The accepted studies noted by GSK and Health Canada are half this period.

Elderly (>60 years):
No clinical data are available for Arepanrix H1N1 in this age group including the effects of the AS03 squalene adjuvant. There is no data to justify any safe dosage in this age group.

Children and Adolescents aged 10-17 years:
No clinical data are available for Arepanrix H1N1 in this age group including the effects of the AS03 squalene adjuvant. No exact dosing recommendations can be made.

Children aged from 6-35 months:
No clinical data are available for Arepanrix H1N1 in this age group including the effects of the AS03 squalene adjuvant. No exact dosing recommendations can be made.

Pregnancy and Lactation
No data have been generated in pregnant or breast feeding women with Arepanrix nor with the AS03 adjuvant.

Fertility & Sterility
GSK suggests animal studies have not demonstrated harmful effects with respect to fertility which directly contradicts several scientific studies which show that Polysorbate 80 causes infertility.

Interactions With Seasonal Flu Vaccines
GSK claims that no data is available on the concomitant administration of Arepanrix H1N1 with other vaccines, including seasonal influenza vaccines.

A study based on research in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, has shown that people who received the seasonal influenza vaccine last year are at greater risk of contracting the H1N1 flu this year.
Adverse reactions may be intensified with co-administration with other vaccines.

Despite the suggested evidence in unpublished studies that seasonal flu vaccines can increase the risk of H1N1 flu, Canadian provinces are recommending co-administration of both vaccines in as little as 60 days. This highly irresponsible recommedation by public health officials could potentially devastate the health of millions of Canadians. An example of the schedule of shots in Ontario is listed in the chart below released in a leaflet to all Ontarians in early October 2009.

The people in Ontario need to call the ServiceOntario INFOline at
1-800-476-9708 and request information as to why Ontario is contradicting studies which demonstrate the risks of administering both the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccine within short periods.

In addition, the Government of Ontario (and Canada) need to respond to direct queries from the public to justify why and how recommendations are being be made to administer the H1N1 vaccine to those receiving the seasonal flu vaccine, when the studies that test the safety and efficacy for the "Rapid Evaluation of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Vaccine in Adults Receiving Seasonal Influenza Vaccine" have not yet started as of late October 2009 (with no participants even being recruited).

Adverse Reactions
Solicited adverse reactions were reported more frequently in the H1N1+AS03 group compared to the H1N1 group based on 2 studies which evaluated the safety of another AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing HA derived from A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like (Pandemrix) in healthy subjects aged 18-60 years.

Since 48.6 of the 50.4 million doses of Arepanrix ordered by the Canadian government contain the AS03 adjuvant, we will focus on those adverse reactions documented which are as follows:

Pain
Redness
Swelling
Fatigue
Headaches
Arthralgia (joint inflammation)
Myalgia (muscle inflammation)
Shivering
Sweating
Swollen lymph nodes
Fever
Vomiting
Tingling or numbness of the hands or feet
Shortness of breath
Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels)

Serious adverse reactions are as follows:
Blood and lymphatic system disorders (lymphadenopathy)

Psychiatric disorders (insomnia)

Nervous system disorders (dizziness, paraesthesia, inflammation of the central nervous system, inflammation of nerves, autoimmune disorders affecting myelin sheaths of nerves such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome)

Ear and labyrinth disorders (vertigo)

Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (dyspnoea)

Gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dyspepsia, stomach discomfort)

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (pruritus, rash)

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (back pain, musculoskeletal stiffness, neck pain, muscle spasms, pain in extremity)

General disorders and administration site conditions (bruising, asthenia, chest pain, malaise)

Disturbing Concentrations of Squalene

The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to studies, this was the cause of Gulf War syndrome in 25% of 697,000 US personnel at home and abroad.

The soldiers developed a cascade of reactions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever.

The AS03 adjuvant in the Arepanrix H1N1 vaccine contains 10.69mg per dose. This corresponds to approximately 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than the anthrax vaccine.

How much more evidence is necessary to convince public health officials that the risks of the Arepanrix H1N1 vaccine exceed any benefits?

Please do not play roulette with your health. Do not listen to the Public Health Agency of Canada or any public health or medical official that advises you to protect yourself from the flu with this vaccine. Its design and toxicity will only destroy your health.

HOW TO BELONG TO A VACCINE CULT Anonymous 2009-10-28 06:48:02 NaturalNews.com: How to be a swine flu vaccine zealot (satire) (NaturalNews) Swine flu vaccine zealots are like zombies... they just keep coming at you, mindless... heartless... empty-headed & a tad funky on the smell, too. But I've noticed from observing the behavior of a few such zealots that not all of them fully comprehend precisely how to act like a mindless vaccine zealot. There's more to it than just parroting whatever the FDA says. You actually have to get with the zealot program if you want to be taken seriously as a swine flu vaccine zealot. So I've put together this handy guide to help them along: Step 1) Loudly proclaim your vaccines are backed by "science," but when critics ask you to produce that science, just tell them you don't have to because "everybody knows they work." (Then grunt and paw at the air from time to time for effect...) Step 2) Practice scoffing. Scoffing is an important skill for swine flu vaccine zealots. When someone asks an intelligent question like, "Where are the placebo-controlled studies that show flu vaccines work at all?" simply scoff at them. This avoids having to answer the question because, as you know, there are no such studies. Step 3) Practice making people feel guilty for not getting the flu shot. Blame them for pandemic. Just ignore the fact that the shot itself has zero ability to actually prevent the spread of influenza and focus on what works: Guilt! Step 4) Spread more fear! Guilt and fear go together like peanut butter and jelly on processed white bread -- a favorite zombie food! In combination, they work like gangbusters if you're trying to scare up some vaccine sales to generate billions of dollars in profits for the drug companies. In the absence of any actual science, just invoke fear! (Hey, it worked for the Patriot Act, too...) Step 5) Remind people that they are not doctors and therefore don't know anything. Then quote some doctor who's pro-vaccine (and probably taking kickbacks from some pharmaceutical company that's been caught committing a felony crime) and declare that no one can question them because they're a doctor. Doctors are God, didn't you know? Just ask all the victims of thalidomide... or Vioxx. Step 6) Strip off the plastic coating on both ends of an extension cord, exposing the wires. Attach the two wires on one end to the temples of your skull, then attach the two exposed wires on the other end to the exposed slots of a live electrical outlet in your home. You are now "WIRED." (Want a free subscription?) This process will destroy any critical thinking regions of your cerebrum, disabling the annoying ability to think for yourself (which can interfere with what the vaccine industry wants you to think instead). Once achieved, you're half-way qualified to being a vaccine zealot, unhindered by critical thinking skills! (Don't forget to grunt, moan and leave your mouth draping open from time to time, or the whole effect will be ruined...) Step 7) Defend mercury as safe. It's not that bad, really. What's a little mercury in your shot anyway? Ignore these inconvenient facts: A typical flu vaccine shot solution is 50,000 parts per billion of mercury. The EPA classifies any substance with more than 200 parts per billion as hazardous waste. (The EPA limit in drinking water is 2 parts per billion.) Thus, the mercury density in a vaccine is 25,000% higher than the level required to be considered hazardous waste. This is injected directly into the bloodstream of infants, children, expectant mothers and senior citizens. What could possibly be dangerous about that? Step 8) Find a bunch of other flu vaccine zealots and quote each other. This is the best part about being a vaccine zealot: It's social! Instead of quoting any actual science to back up your non-position (because there isn't any), all you have to do is quote each other! "The CDC says..." and at the CDC, they say, "The FDA says..." and at the FDA, they say, "The drug maker says..." and at the drug maker, they say, "The researchers said..." and the researchers were quoting the CDC! (I think I remember playing this game in kindergarten... but then I grew up.) Step 9) Tell everyone you're going to receive the flu vaccine yourself, even if you aren't. This creates the impression that you actually believe the vaccine is both safe and effective, even when you secretly suspect it is neither. Of course, no one will really know whether you got the shot or not, so you can still just fake it by claiming you did when you really didn't. Step 10) If all else fails, babble incoherently in a technical medical jargon. Use large Latin words that sound educated. Glare scornfully at all the "small words people." Whatever you say, tell people you read it in a "peer-reviewed medical journal" or picked it up in a "continuing medical education seminar" (almost all of which are sponsored by drug companies, by the way). Hang medical school diplomas on the wall in plain view, preferably over your head (if there's still room there). Tell people how important you are and why no one else is even qualified to ask questions about flu vaccines. Keep up the front! And that, my zombie friends, is how to pull off being a swine flu vaccine zealot. Always carry a spare needle with you, too, because you never know when you're going to need to take a jab at somebody. Coming up next... How to start your own swine flu vaccine cult! (Hint: It all starts at medical school...) In the mean time, folks, keep drinkin' that Thimerosal Kool-Aid. ReplyQuote 3 0

Vaccines: The Greatest Quackery Ever Anonymous 2009-10-28 07:36:59 Flu vaccines revealed as the greatest quackery ever pushed in the history of medicine Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by: Mike Adams, (NaturalNews) Prepare to have your world rocked. What you're about to read here will leave you astonished, inspired & outraged all at the same time. You're about to be treated to some little-known information demonstrating why seasonal flu vaccines are utterly worthless & why their continued promotion is based entirely on fabricated studies & medical mythology. If the whole world knew what you're about to read here, the vaccine industry would collapse overnight. This information comes to you courtesy of a brilliant article published in The Atlantic (November 2009). The article, written by Shannon Brownlee & Jeanne Lenzer, isn't just brilliant; in my opinion it stands as the best article on flu vaccines that has ever been published in the popular press. Entitled Does the vaccine matter?, it presents some of the most eye-opening information you've probably ever read about the failure of flu vaccines. You can read the full article here: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200911/brownlee-h1n1 Perhaps its impressive narrative shouldn't be too surprising, though, since writer Shannon Brownlee is also the celebrated author of a phenomenal book on modern medicine entitled Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer http://www.amazon.com/Overtreated-Medicine-Making-Sicker-Poorer/dp/158 2345791 http://www.naturalpedia.com/book_Overtreated.html While I've never done this before, I'm going to summarize this article point by point (along with some comments) so that you get the full force of what's finally been put into print. This information is so important that I encourage you to share the following summary I've put together. Email it to family, friends and coworkers. Or post it on your blog or website. Get this information out to the world. People need to know this, and so far the mainstream media has utterly failed to make this information known. (The really good information begins after around a dozen bullet points, so be sure to keep reading...) Does the vaccine matter? What follows is my point-by-point summary of this groundbreaking article by Shannon Brownlee, originally published in The Atlantic. My opinion statements are shown in brackets and italics. • Vaccination is the core strategy of the U.S. government's plan to combat the swine flu. • The U.S. government has spent roughly $3 billion stockpiling vaccines and anti-viral drugs. • The CDC is recommending that 159 million Americans receive a swine flu vaccine injection (as soon as possible). • What if vaccines don't work? More and more researchers are skeptical about whether they do. • Seasonal flu (that's the regular flu) currently kills an estimated 36,000 people each year in the United States. [But most people who die are already suffering from existing diseases such as asthma.] • Most "colds" aren't really caused by the flu virus. As few as 7 or 8 percent (and at most, 50 percent) of colds have an influenza origin. There are more than 200 viruses and pathogens that can cause "influenza-like" illnesses (and therefore be easily mistaken for the flu). • Viruses mutate with amazing speed, meaning that each year's circulating influenza is genetically different from the previous year. • The vaccine for each upcoming flu season is formulated by health experts taking a guess [a wild guess, at times] about what strain of influenza might be most likely to circulate in the future. Why the research is bogus • Because researchers can't exactly pin down who has influenza and who doesn't, the research conducted on the effectiveness of vaccines simply calculates the death rate from all causes among those who take the vaccine vs. those who don't. [This includes deaths from accidents, heart attacks, medications, car wrecks and everything.] • These studies show a "dramatic difference" between the death rates of those who get the vaccines vs. those who don't. People who get vaccinated have significantly lower death rates [from ALL causes, and herein lies the problem...]. • Flu shot propaganda cites these studies, telling people that if they get their flu shots every year, they will have a significantly reduced chance of dying. But this is extremely misleading... • Critics question the logic of these studies: As it turns out, compared to the number of deaths from all causes, the number of people killed by influenza is quite small. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, deaths from influenza account for -- at most -- 10 percent of the total deaths during the flu season (and this includes all indirect deaths aggravated by the flu). • This brings up a hugely important dilemma: If influenza only accounts for roughly 10 percent of all deaths during the flu season, how could an influenza vaccine reduce total deaths by 50 percent? (As is claimed by the vaccine manufacturers.) [It doesn't add up. Even if the vaccines were 100% effective, they should only reduce the total death rates by 10%, given that only 10% of the total deaths are caused by influenza.] • Here's a direct quote from the story: Tom Jefferson, a physician based in Rome and the head of the Vaccines Field at the Cochrane Collaboration, a highly respected international network of researchers who appraise medical evidence, says: "For a vaccine to reduce mortality by 50 percent and up to 90 percent in some studies means it has to prevent deaths not just from influenza, but also from falls, fires, heart disease, strokes, and car accidents. That's not a vaccine, that's a miracle." [Emphasis added.] The failure of cohort studies • So how do the vaccine companies come up with this "50% reduction in death rate" statistic? Through cohort studies. • Cohort studies compare the death rates of large groups of people who received the vaccine to large groups of people who did NOT receive the vaccine. But there's a fatal flaw in this approach: People self-select for vaccinations. And what kind of people? As it turns out: People who take more precautions with their health! • [Thus, you automatically have a situation where the more health-cautious people are getting the vaccines because they THINK it's good for them. Meanwhile all the masses of people who don't give a darn about their health tend to skip the seasonal flu vaccines. And these people tend to not take very good of their health in lots of other ways. In other words, in terms of the masses, people who get vaccines are more likely to avoid junk food and live a more health-cautious lifestyle. This explains the differences in the death rates between the two groups! It has nothing to do with the vaccine...] • There is extreme "cult-like" peer pressure put on doctors and researchers to swallow the vaccine mythology without question. Quoted from the story: Lisa Jackson, a physician and senior investigator with the Group Health Research Center, in Seattle, began wondering aloud to colleagues if maybe something was amiss with the estimate of 50 percent mortality reduction for people who get flu vaccine, the response she got sounded more like doctrine than science. "People told me, 'No good can come of [asking] this,'" she says. "'Potentially a lot of bad could happen' for me professionally by raising any criticism that might dissuade people from getting vaccinated, because of course, 'We know that vaccine works.' This was the prevailing wisdom." [In other words, don't dare question the vaccine, and don't ask tough scientific questions because the vaccine industry runs on dogma, not science... and if you ask any questions, you might find yourself out of a job...]. [Here's where the really good part begins...] • Lisa Jackson was not deterred. She and three other researchers began to study the widely-quoted vaccine statistics in an attempt to identify th...

Vaccines: The Greatest Quackery Ever 2 Anonymous 2009-10-28 07:41:33 ... this "healthy user effect," if any. They looked through eight years of medical data covering 72,000 people aged 65 or older and recorded who received flu shots and who didn't. Then they compared the death rates for all causes outside the flu season. The vaccine made no difference in mortality • What she found blows a hole right through the vaccination industry: She found that even outside the flu season, the death rate was 60 percent higher among those who did not get vaccines than among those who do. [In other words, even when you take the flu season completely out of the equation, elderly people who don't get vaccines have other lifestyle factors that makes them far more likely to die from lots of other causes.] • She also found that this so-called "healthy user effect" explains the entire apparent benefit that continues to be attributed to vaccines. This finding demonstrates that the flu vaccine may not have any beneficial effect whatsoever in reducing mortality. • How well done were these particular studies? Quoted from the story: Jackson's papers "are beautiful," says Lone Simonsen, who is a professor of global health at George Washington University, in Washington, D.C., and an internationally recognized expert in influenza and vaccine epidemiology. "They are classic studies in epidemiology, they are so carefully done." • Many pro-vaccine experts simply refused to believe the results of this study [because it conflicts with their existing belief in vaccine mythology]. The Journal of the American Medical Association refused to publish her research, even stating, "To accept these results would be to say that the earth is flat!" [Which just goes to show you how deeply ingrained the current vaccine mythology is in the minds of conventional medical practitioners. They simply cannot imagine that vaccines don't work, so they dismiss any evidence -- even GOOD evidence -- demonstrating that fact. This is what makes the vaccine industry a CULT rather than a science.] • Jackson's papers were finally published in 2006, in the International Journal of Epidemiology. [And here's the really, really juicy part you can't miss...] Vaccine shortage proves it never worked in the first place • The history of the flu vaccine reveals some huge gaps in current vaccination mythology, essentially proving they don't work: • For example: In 2004, vaccine production was low and there was a shortage in vaccines (a 40 percent reduction in vaccinations). And yet mortality rates did not rise during the flu season. [Clearly, if vaccines actually worked, then a year when the vaccine wasn't even administered to 40% of the people who normally get it should have resulted in a huge and statistically significant increase in mortality. It should have spiked the death rates and filled the morgues... but it didn't. You know why? Because flu vaccines don't work in the first place.] • In the history of flu vaccines, there were two years in which the formulated flu vaccine was a total mismatch to the widely-circulating influenza that made people sick. These years were 1968 and 1997. In both of these years, the vaccine was a completely mismatch for the circulating virus. In effect, nobody was vaccinated! [Knowing this, if the vaccine itself was effective at reducing death rates, then we should have once again seen a huge spike in the death rates during these two years, right? Seriously, if the vaccine reduces death rates by 50% as is claimed by vaccine manufacturers, then these two years in which the vaccine completely missed the mark should have seen huge spikes in the winter death rates, right? But what really happened was... nothing. Not a blip. Not a spike. Nothing. The death rates didn't rise at all.] • If vaccines really worked to save lives, then the more people you vaccinate, the lower death rates you should see, right? But that's not the case. Back in 1989, only 15 percent of over-65 people got vaccinated against the flu. But today, thanks to the big vaccine push, over 65 percent are vaccinated. And yet, amazingly, death rates among the elderly have not gone down during the flu season. In fact, they've gone up! • When vaccine promoters (and CDC officials) are challenged about the "50 percent mortality reduction" myth, they invoke dogmatic language and attack the messenger. They are simply not willing to consider the possibility that flu vaccines simply don't work. • Scientists who question the vaccine mythology are routinely shunned by the medical establishment. Tom Jefferson from the Cochrane Collaboration is an epidemiologist who questions the claimed benefits of flu vaccines. "The reaction [against Jefferson] has been so dogmatic and even hysterical that you'd think he was advocating stealing babies" said a colleague (Majumdar). • Jefferson is one of the world's best-informed researchers on the flu vaccine. He leads a team of researchers who have examined hundreds of vaccine studies. To quote directly from the article: The vast majority of the studies were deeply flawed, says Jefferson. "Rubbish is not a scientific term, but I think it's the term that applies [to these studies]." [And here's the real kicker that demonstrates why flu vaccines are useless...] ReplyQuote 0 0

Vaccines: The Greatest Quackery Ever 3 Anonymous 2009-10-28 07:46:53 Flu vaccines only "work" on people who don't need them • Vaccines supposedly "work" by introducing a weakened viral strain that causes the immune system to respond by building influenza antibodies. However, as Jefferson points out, only healthy people produce a good antibody response to the vaccine. And yet it is precisely the unhealthy people -- the ones who have a poor immune response to the vaccine -- who are most at risk of being harmed or killed by influenza. But the vaccines don't work in them! • [In other words -- get this -- flu vaccines only "work" in people who don't need them!] • [At the same time, it's also accurate to say that vaccines don't work at all in the very people who theoretically could benefit from them. They only produce antibodies in people who already have such a strong immune response that they don't need the vaccine in the first place.] • Jefferson has called for randomized, placebo-controlled studies of the vaccines. But vaccine pushers are resisting these clinical trials! They call the trials "unethical" [but, in reality, they know that a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study would reveal the complete failure of flu vaccines, and they will do anything to prevent such a trial from happening. Don't you find it amazing that drug pushers and vaccine advocates claim they have "science" on their side, but they won't submit their vaccines to any real science at all?] • [No placebo-controlled studies have ever been conducted on flu vaccines because the industry says they would be "unethical." So where do these people get off claiming their vaccines work at all? The whole industry is based on fabricated statistics that are provably false... and the injections continue, year after year, with absolutely no benefit to public health whatsoever...] Why anti-viral drugs don't work either • On the anti-viral drug front, hospitals are urged to hand out prescriptions for Tamiflu and Relenza to almost anyone who is symptomatic, whether they actually have swine flu or not. Concern is growing about the emergence of drug-resistant strains of swine flu. " Flu can become resistant to Tamiflu in a matter of days..." says one researcher. • In 2005, the U.S. government spent $1.8 billion to stockpile antiviral drugs for the military. This decision was made during the time when Donald Rumsfeld was Defense Secretary. Rumsfeld also held millions of dollars worth of stock in Gilead Sciences, the company that holds the patent on Tamiflu. That company saw its stock price rise 50 percent following the government's stockpiling purchase of Tamiflu. • The evidence supporting Tamiflu's anti-viral benefits is flimsy at best. Even worse, as many as one in five children taking Tamiflu experience neuropsychiatric side effects including hallucinations and suicidal behavior. [In other words, your kid might be "tripping out" on some bad Tamiflu...] • Tamiflu is already linked to 50 deaths of children in Japan. • The evidence supporting Tamiflu is based on cohort studies, just like the vaccines, which may distort or exaggerate the apparent benefits of the drug. • Even supporters of Tamiflu admit it's never been proven to help. A CDC official says that randomized trials to determine the effectiveness of Tamiflu would be "unethical." • In all, neither vaccines nor anti-viral drugs have any reliable evidence that they work against influenza at all. Both are being promoted based entirely on pure wishful thinking, not hard science. • The history of pharmaceutical medicine is littered with other examples of drugs that doctors "knew worked" but which later turned out to harm or kill patients. [All along, the proper scientific studies were avoided because, hey, if you already know everything, why bother conducting any actual science to prove anything?] • The hype about vaccines provides a false sense of security, taking away attention from other things that really do work to prevent influenza deaths. That's why, except for "hand washing," virtually no advice has been offered to the public on preventing influenza beyond vaccines and anti-viral drugs. • Concluding quote from the author: "By being afraid to do the proper studies now, we may be condemning ourselves to using treatments based on illusion and faith rather than sound science." A recap of these astonishing points Let's recap what we just learned here (because it's just mind-boggling): • There have been no placebo-controlled studies on flu vaccines because the vaccine pushers say such clinical trials would be "unethical." Thus, there is actually no hard scientific evidence that they work at all. • The "50 percent reduction in mortality" statistic that's tossed around by vaccine pushers is a total fabrication based on "rubbish" studies ("cohort" studies). • Scrutinizing the existing studies that claim to support vaccines reveals that flu vaccines simply don't work. And when vaccines aren't available or the formulation is wrong, there's no spike in death rates, indicating quite conclusively that these vaccines offer no reduction in mortality. • Flu vaccines only produce antibodies in people who don't need vaccines. At the same time, they fail to produce antibodies in people who are most vulnerable to flu. Thus, vaccines only work in people who don't need them. • The entire flu vaccine industry is run like a cult, with dogma ruling over science. Anyone who asks tough, scientific questions is immediately branded a heretic. No one is allowed to question the status quo. (So much for "evidence-based medicine," huh?) As you can see from all this, the flu vaccine is pure quackery. Those who administer vaccines are, by inference, QUACKS. They claim to have scientific minds, and yet they are the most gullible of all: They will believe almost anything if it's published in a medical journal, even if it's complete quackery. Today, countless doctors, nurses and pharmacists across North America and around the world are pushing a medically worthless, scientifically-fabricated chemical injection that offers absolutely no benefit to public health... and yet they're convinced it's highly effective! It just goes to show you how easy it is to brainwash people in the field of conventional medicine. They've abandoned real science long ago, you know. Now the whole industry is just run on the momentum of dogmatic arrogance and the illusion of authority. From the CDC and FDA on down to the local pharmacist at the corner store, the American medical system is run by some seemingly smart people who have been brainwashed into become full-fledged members of the Cult of Pharmacology where vaccine mythology overrules real science. The vaccine industry is perhaps the greatest medical scam ever pulled off in the history of the world. Don't fall for it. And don't forget to read the full article in The Atlantic by Shannon Brownlee: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200911/brownlee-h1n1 Why people get vaccinated: Superstition Reading everything you've read here, you might wonder: Why do people get vaccinated at all? The reason is because no one knows whether they work or not, so people keep on taking them "just in case." It's exactly the kind of superstitious ritual that "science-minded skeptics" rail against on a regular basis... unless, of course, it involves their vaccines, in which case superstition is all okay. People take vaccines for the same reason they rub a rabbit's foot. It's a good luck ritual that may or may not work, but no one really knows. And besides, what's the harm in it? (They think...) Personally, I'd rather get some vitamin D and have a healthy, functioning immune system. But for those who prefer to play the lotto, gamble in Vegas or bet their lives on medical superstitions, flu vaccines are readily available. So what are you waiting for? Shoot u... ReplyQuote 1 1

Vaccines: The Greatest Quackery Ever 4 Anonymous 2009-10-28 07:48:45 So what are you waiting for? Shoot up a few flu vaccines, rub your lucky rabbit's foot, then spin around clockwise seven times and you, too, may be able to generate enough luck to avoid the flu this winter. ReplyQuote 2 2

webmaster clergyindisguise 2009-10-29 01:47:09 Thank you for this, ever complacent Canucks do what their government tells them to do. It is extremely disappointing to see CBC fulfilling it's role as disseminator of government propaganda on the H1N1 "get your flu shot while supplies last" bandwagon. ReplyQuote 3 4

Jason 2009-10-31 13:34:25 What I don't understand is the vast amount of ppl they are cramming into these make shift innoculation clinics, hacking, coughing, sneezing, and spreading what they all ready have. I am 41 and have had a mild case of flu only once in my lifetime, (not even sure it was the flu) never had a flu shot and will never get one. Inject mercury, oils, coaggulators into my body...I quit smoking to keep those toxis out of my body, why put em back in? Eat healthy, live healthy, think healthy, be healthy. ReplyQuote 0 0

Can we sue the government as well as the Manufactu Jim 2009-11-01 12:45:29 Are we able to sue for damages resulting from this or any other pandemic vaccine(s)? ReplyQuote 0 0

No one can sue for adverse events Kirstin Olsen 2009-11-04 05:02:25 Big pharma has acheived broad-based indemnification from society regarding ANY "pandemic" vaccine they produce. No one can receive any compensation for adverse events associated with the H1N1 vaccine or any "pandemic" flu vaccine, and this is a major point in health care professionals rejection of the H1N1 vaccine in Canada, which is Avepanrix TM made by GlaxoSmithKline and conatins 1 million more times the horrific adjuvant squalene that caused Gulf War Syndrome in US military manditorily vaccinated with the FDA unapproved Athrax vaccine known as Vaccine A. Do not accept the H1N1 vaccine and refuse to inject others with it. Educate everyone you can and engage in peaceful protest and education campaign in front of vaccine clinics. Write to your politicians and tell them you will do this, and then go do it! ReplyQuote 0 0

CJ 2009-11-07 15:00:51 Why is it that the same system in Canada that was responsible for adequately distributing enough of the vaccine (and obviously could not live up to these promises) should be trusted in 'blind faith' to know what they are doing. It would be wonderful to have a video or film of any of the producers of this vaccine, health ministers, professionals etc. getting their vaccine. But, what's especially puzzling is despite the commonly known anti-abortion stance that the Catholic Church has been known for - it is not even protesting the ingredients (or perhaps they are not that widely known).
