Figuring How To Terrify Us Over Swine Flu
'U.S. health officials say swine flu could strike up to 40% of Americans over the next two years and as many as several hundred thousand could die."
So declares an Associated Press article, the writer of which you can picture trying to catch his breath as he pounds away at the keyboard. In its exclusive revelation of unpublished figures, AP says: "Those estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mean about twice the number of people who usually get sick in a normal flu season would be struck by swine flu."
No, they don't. The CDC's influenza Web site shows they're essentially the same.
Welcome to the wonderful world of swine flu hysteria, in which health agencies — be it the World Health Organization (which declared a worldwide pandemic with just 244 deaths) or the CDC — can tell any scary story they want with the assurance that the mainstream media will never challenge them. That includes pointing to a piglet and proclaiming it to be a wild, raging boar.

Mosquitoes deliver malaria 'vaccine' through bites
So, let me get this straight. It's considered to be unethical to test vaccines with a true placebo because vaccines are ASSUMED to be safe and effective and therefore, it's unethical to leave one group unprotected for the sake of testing them. BUT, it's ok to expose people to mutant mosquitoes which are known to be causing a pathogenic parasite. Hmmmmm.
In a daring experiment in Europe, scientists used mosquitoes as flying needles to deliver a "vaccine" of live malaria parasites through their bites. The results were astounding: Everyone in the vaccine group acquired immunity to malaria; everyone in a non-vaccinated comparison group did not, and developed malaria when exposed to the parasites later.
The study was only a small proof-of-principle test, and its approach is not practical on a large scale. However, it shows that scientists may finally be on the right track to developing an effective vaccine against one of mankind's top killers. A vaccine that uses modified live parasites just entered human testing.
"Malaria vaccines are moving from the laboratory into the real world," Dr. Carlos Campbell wrote in an editorial accompanying the study in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. He works for PATH, the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health, a Seattle-based global health foundation.
The new study "reminds us that the whole malaria parasite is the most potent immunizing" agent, even though it is harder to develop a vaccine this way and other leading candidates take a different approach, he wrote.

Why the Flu Vaccine Doesn't Work
Each year enormous effort goes into producing that year's vaccine and delivering it to appropriate sections of the population. And yet, year after year there are studies showing that flu vaccines DO NOT provide any benefit.
Two years ago a study in the British Medical Journal concluded that the effectiveness of annual flu shots has been exaggerated, and that in reality they have little or no effect on influenza campaign objectives, including reducing the number of hospital stays, time off work, and death from influenza and its complications. Other studies, done prior and subsequently, also confirm these findings.
However, preventing flu-related deaths in the elderly has been, and still is, the primary argument for recommending flu shots each year. And, according to the theory of “herd immunity,” a majority of the population must be vaccinated in order to protect the lives of the elderly and other categories of people susceptible to flu-related complications.
However, the flu prevention strategy set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been called into serious question time and again. Another study from 2005, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine also could not find support for the use of flu vaccine to prevent deaths in the elderly. The report highlights that=2 0although immunization rates in people over 65 have increased dramatically in the past 20 years, there has not been a consequent decline in flu-related deaths.

Pregnancy likely to be swine flu shot priority
This is criminal! When the vaccine has never been tested for its safety in pregnancy - or anywhere else for that matter - to take this sort of chance with an unborn child and its mother is ridiculous! Especially when the drug companies and the government take no responsibility for their actions. If it were so safe as they claim - why have they sought out and obtained indemnity from prosecution and lawsuits?
Swine flu has been hitting pregnant women unusually hard, so they are likely to be among the first group advised to get a new swine flu shot this fall.
Pregnant women account for 6 percent of U.S. swine flu deaths since the pandemic began in April, even though they make up just 1 percent of the U.S. population.
On Wednesday a federal vaccine advisory panel is meeting to take up the question of who should be first to get swine flu shots when there aren't enough for everyone. At the top of the list are health care workers, who would be crucial to society during a bad pandemic.
But pregnant women may be near the top of the list because they have suffered and died from swine flu at disproportionately high rates.

Fast-tracked swine flu vaccine will be safe, officials insist
How many will have to die before this flu vaccine campaign - like the campaign in 1976 - is withdrawn? The other campaign was pulled 10 weeks after it was started. That was before the Internet - before we had the ability to actually communicate quickly with each other about what is going on. My prediction is that if this campaign is not made compulsory from the start (which may very well happen), it will be less than 10 weeks before there are so many injured or killed that it will be pulled once again. I would NOT want to be the minister for health when that happens.
The World Health Organisation has raised concerns about the fast-track production of the swine flu vaccine in Europe, where the treatment is due to be made available at least two months earlier than in the US. Britain is expected to be the first country in Europe to provide the vaccine, with the first of 132 million ordered doses due to be administered next month.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the drug regulatory body for the EU, is accelerating the approval process for the vaccine, and countries including Britain, Greece, France and Sweden plan to start using it as soon as it is cleared. The most vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and young children, will be given priority.

From none other than the venerable Guardian newspaper - yet another voice of reason. Are people listening though? While parents blithely offer up their infants to the ‘gods’ of vaccination testing, one has to wonder if this is Darwin’s way? Why do we keep on being fooled by these pandemic promises by those who profit from disease?
The way we're collating figures for swine flu is wildly inaccurate and almost certainly inflating infection rates and public anxiety.
My best wishes to those who have had, and will get, swine flu, and my profound sympathies to the families of those who have died from it. To them it is real. But to those responsible for counting cases and designing defences to protect the population, it is a statistical disease.
Before the virus was discovered in the early 1930s there was no other way to measure it. Influenza has no unique clinical features. There is no diagnostic rash. Its symptoms can be caused by a multitude of other microbes. Its activities could only be measured by looking at groups rather than individuals; studying death rates (making the assumption that a rise in the winter was due to flu), and counting the number of cases in a community with "typical" symptoms (likewise assuming that if there was a big rise, its cause was flu).

'A Whole Industry Is Waiting For A Pandemic'
One of the best takes I’ve ever seen on this issue - by none other than Thomas Jefferson from the Cochrane Collaboration. Read the whole article - it is well worth the time.
The world has been gripped with fears of swine flu in recent weeks. In an interview with SPIEGEL, epidemiologist Tom Jefferson speaks about dangerous fear-mongering, misguided, money-driven research and why we should all be washing our hands a lot more often.

Flu is not the Biggest Danger it’s the Vaccine
These are challenging times and we need to stay calm and think things through – not just panic and react. Fear, panic and emotional reaction got us into this mess and it is certainly not going to get us out of it.
We also need to realise – here, now – that we have long crossed the line into a fully-fledged fascist dictatorship. It has hidden itself to most people this far, but it is about to lift the veil.
It is no longer an option to do nothing or passively acquiesce to authority out of fear or apathy. Or, at least, it’s not if we care about our freedoms and, most importantly, those of our children and grandchildren who will have to live almost their entire lives under a global jackboot of sheer, undiluted evil.
The word ‘evil’ is much overused and I don’t say it lightly; but we are dealing with evil in the sense that the word is the reverse of ‘live’. Those behind the conspiracy to cull the human population and turn the rest into little more than computer terminals are anti-life. They have no respect for it and no empathy with those who suffer the consequences of their actions, no matter how appalling.

Why I would NOT want to live in Singapore!
Hi,
Searching for countries that have financial penalties for those who choose not to vaccinate and the first one that came up was Singapore. It seems that vaccination is not only compulsory there, but you have fines and imprisonment if you choose not to get the shot. Here is a snip of the text plus you can click on the link below for more information:
“This is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
The Infectious Diseases Act states that any person guilty of an offence shall in the case of the first offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both.
Our strategy is to work with parents to have every child vaccinated on time.”

Expert says breastfeeding benefits 'greatly exaggerated'
With ‘experts’ like these, is it any wonder we are in such a pickle?
The benefits of breastfeeding have been greatly exaggerated, a leading paediatrician says.
Professor Michael Kramer, from Montreal's McGill University, claimed much of the information used to persuade mothers to breastfeed was either wrong or out of date.
He has spent more than 20 years studying the subject and believes a significant amount of evidence behind the claims is flawed, The Advertiser reports.
Those promoting the "breast is best" message say a mother's milk wards off a host of ills including protecting against obesity, allergies, asthma and diabetes.
But Professor Kramer's work has failed to show breastfeeding provides such protection. He claims many of the supposed advantages can be explained by differences in lifestyle.
"I don't favour overselling the evidence – we should not be conveying false information," he said.
However, studies showing breast milk wards off ear infections and stomach bugs stand up to scrutiny. Professor Kramer also believes it may be good for the developing brain, leading to a slight increase in IQ.
He said the confusion was exacerbated by competition between the formula milk industry and the breastfeeding lobby.
"The formula milk industry jumps on every piece of equivocal evidence," he said.
"But the breastfeeding lobby have a way of ignoring the evidence. Both sides are not being very scientific."
Australian Breastfeeding Association counsellor Lindsay Giannakos said: "I have found breastfeeding does not protect my children from all illnesses but I do believe had I chosen to not breastfeed they would have been at increased risk of many health issues such as allergies... obesity and diabetes.
"In my opinion, breastfeeding is the normal way to feed a child, and factories can not manufacture an equal substitute."

Vaxin announces preliminary phase 1 data for pandemic influenza vaccine candidate

So, you just KNOW that any problems which do occur during the so-called trials (where is the placebo, where is the control group, where is the oversight?) are sure to be reported, right?

Right to Self-Shield In the Event of a Pandemic
CDC and WHO are predicting that the H1N1 “Swine Flu” will be back this fall in a new and deadly form. WHO*, after changing the definition to fit current conditions, declared a “Level 6″ pandemic in mid-June, 2009. Since the organism appears to have been man made, this prediction may be one they can make “accurately.”
They also say that a new vaccine will be ready for deployment at the very time when the H1N1 Pandemic virus circulates around the globe and are proposing universal (mandatory) vaccination, starting with our most vulnerable: the very young and the very old.
The White House is proposing vaccination for both seasonal flu and H1N1 flu, although the total number of US fatalities to date from H1N1 has reached a total of about 2.

Complacent Parents Spread Whooping Cough - according to the Courier Mail, at least
Yes, the woman who single-handedly made Brisbane’s water toxic to drink has now made QLD’s parents toxic too! There is NO evidence that the whooping cough vaccine will do anything to stop the spread of this disease. We are having the biggest outbreak of whooping cough on record despite the fact that our vaccination rate is also a record - over 95% for the first time ever. This is truly a shot in the dark!
NEW Queensland parents will be offered free vaccinations for whooping cough in a bid to stem the rapid spread of the disease. Premier Anna Bligh yesterday announced the $3 million immunisation program would operate for six months and then be reviewed.
From August 1, mums and dads with babies born from May 1 this year will be able to access free vaccinations through their local GP, baby health clinic or local council. The Government hopes immunising parents will help prevent the potentially deadly spread of whooping cough to babies aged less than six months who are too young to have received the three courses required for vaccination.

Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu
This is an excellent article by Dr Russell Blaylock that tries to put the fear - panic really - we are being sold by the media, medical community and government regarding so-called Swine flu. The ONLY way to fight fear is with knowledge. The ONLY way to protect your rights when they are under threat is with action. Combine action with knowledge and you have a very powerful mix! Don’t ever think that you don’t have the power to overcome the forces that are trying to keep us ignorant and powerless - you do!
An outbreak of swine flu occurred in Mexico this spring that eventually affected 4,910 Mexican citizens and resulted in 85 deaths. By the time it spread to the United States, the virus caused only mild cases of flu-like illness.
Thanks to air travel and the failure of public health officials to control travel from Mexico, the virus spread worldwide. Despite predictions of massive numbers of deaths and the arrival of doomsday, the virus has remained a relatively mild disease, something we know happens each year with flu epidemics.
Worldwide, there have only been 311 deaths out of 70,893 cases of swine flu. In the United States, 27,717 cases have resulted in 127 deaths. Every death is a tragedy, but such a low death rate should not be the basis of a draconian government policy.
It is helpful to recall that the Centers for Disease Control with the collusion of the media, constantly tell us that 36,000 people die from the flu each year, a figure that has been shown to be a lie. In this case, we are talking about 300 plus deaths for the entire world.

Is this evidence that Swine Flu vaccination will be compulsory?
The Australian government has ordered 21 million doses of the untested, not-yet created swine flu (H1N1) vaccine. This is enough to vaccinate every man, woman and child in this country. There is no information yet on the cost of this venture, but it has to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Would they be spending this money if they didn’t know in advance that we would all have to submit to this shot?
Swine flu vaccine rolled out from October
Australia's chief medical officer is expecting to begin a nationwide swine flu vaccination program in October.
The Federal Government has ordered 21 million doses of a swine flu vaccine, which is still being tested.
Professor Jim Bishop told the Seven Network the vaccine order would cover all of the nation's population if only one dose is needed, or half the population if two doses are required.
He said the launch of the immunisation program will be dependent on successful trials of the vaccine.
"We need to do some trials to make sure it's safe, so we're saying by October we should be able to start a program, but that depends really on manufacture being successful," he said.

Swine Flu May Be Human Error; WHO Investigates Claim
The World Health Organization is investigating a claim by an Australian researcher that the swine flu virus circling the globe may have been created as a result of human error.
Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines. Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort to trace the virus’s origins by analyzing its genetic blueprint.

21 Homeless People Die After Bird Flu Vaccine Experiment
Oxymorons according to the late George Carlin - Military intelligence and Jumbo shrimp. I think we can add one more here - Medical Ethics.
Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution after a number of homeless people died following medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus.
The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.
Authorities claim that the alleged victims received £1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

Firstly, why in the world would an infectious virus be carried from one place to another on a public train? And how is it possible to determine in “several hours” that infection could be completely ruled out? But we can trust these people to provide us with safe and effective vaccines if they carry on all of their business in this manner, right? I don’t think so!
LAUSANNE - A container for transporting swine flu virus samples exploded on a Swiss train, authorities said Tuesday, but stressed that there was no danger to the public.
The container, which was filled with dry ice and carried samples of the H1N1 swine flu virus and was destined for Switzerland’s national influenza centre in Geneva, exploded Monday night on board a train.
A laboratory employee had picked up the samples in Zurich to transport them by train to Geneva, but the package exploded near Fribourg and Lausanne, after melting dry ice, which had been wrongly placed, caused a build-up of pressure.
Two people suffered slight injuries, police confirmed, but authorities stressed there was no danger for the public as the virus was not the mutated strain which is suspected to have caused up to 149 deaths in Mexico.
The train was halted for several hours and the 61 passengers on board the affected carriage monitored until an infection could be completely ruled out, police said.

Fluoride in dog food - Pets' health at risk?
An independent laboratory test of popular dog food brands, commissioned by Environmental Working Group, revealed that the food we buy for our pets contains high levels of fluoride, a contaminant that may put dogs' health at risk.
Eight major national brands marketed for both puppies and adults contained fluoride in amounts between 1.6 and 2.5 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's maximum legal dose in drinking water, and higher than amounts associated with bone cancer in young boys in a 2006 study by Harvard scientists (Bassin 2006). All 8 brands contain bone meal and animal byproducts, the likely source of the fluoride contamination.
Scientists have not studied the safety of high doses of fluoride for dogs

Pregnant women priority for H1N1 vaccine
Firstly, this vaccine has not been tested on ANYONE yet - nor will it be tested before being released on a gullible population. But NO vaccination is safe during pregnancy and just suggesting that pregnant women should receive this vaccine or any vaccine is criminally negligent and shows a gross disregard for the health and life of both mother and child.

BAXTER LABS FILES PATENT ON H1N1 (SWINE FLU) IN AUGUST 2008-1 YEAR AHEAD OF THE OUTBREAK!
We are told that Swine Flu (so-called - the H1N1 virus) which is composed of 2 swine, one avian and one human virus is naturally-occuring. Yet here we have the company that shipped human flu vaccine contaminated with bird flu to 18 countries filing a patent on H1N1 almost a full year before the outbreak started! And, may I add, the outbreak began very close to Baxter's lab in Mexico City - the same lab that has been experimenting with flu vaccines! When is there going to be an independent investigation of this company? When is the government going to test flu vaccines for contamination?
Kids are the target the new 'Swine Flu' vaccine is gunning for
Our most vulnerable population - our children - are going to be targeted in this vaccination campaign which, from all reports, is going to be compulsory. What would you do if the government told you your kids needed to get this shot and you didn't want it? Time to start planning your response.

Japanese Data Show Vaccines Cause Autism
When is proof not proof? When that proof means that vaccination is called into question. Then, the proof is squashed, ridiculed or just plain ignored. How many more families will need to be destroyed before all of us finally get that vaccines cause autism?
