Large sums of advertising money have been invested by Big Pharma in a hysterical media campaign to scare people into getting a Swine flu shot, but the truth about the benefits and the dangers of this vaccine are gradually emerging and an increasing number of people world-wide are refusing to be duped.
LIE #1: vaccince is safe
"The results of the testing on this vaccine were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.39 But, the tests for safety and to assess complications lasted only 7 days after the vaccine. Gullian Barre paralysis can occur even months after a vaccine as can seizures, behavioral problems and neurodevelopmental disorders in children."*
The authors of the safety study for our swine flu vaccine were all employees of the maker of the vaccine CSL Biotherapeutics and eight held equity interest in the
Main stream media parrot Big Pharma's claim that this vaccine is produced exactly like the seasonal flu; the only similarity is that they use chicken eggs. "But, the rest has been fast tracked and many shortcuts on safety procedures have been allowed."*
If it is safe, why did insurance companies in Australia refurs to insure doctors who gave the vaccine? Because it was a fast tracked vaccine and therefore experimental. They felt that the danger of complications was far too high to risk insuring the doctors.
Why did the U S Congress pass a special law to "immunize" doctors and health providers from liability should severe complications arise from the vaccine? A: Congress members receive large donations from Big Pharma.
Lie #2 The H1N1 Swine flu is a very bad one: many deaths, many hospitalizations
The CDC, perhaps complicit with Big Pharma, forecast:
1.8 million people would need hospitalization
300,000 would end up in the intensive care units (ICU)
90,000 US deaths
hospitals would be overwhelmed; ICU units would not have enough beds.
FACTS:
"the H1N1 virus was no more pathogenic than the ordinary seasonal flu, even though it did penetrate slightly deeper into the lungs. It in no way matched the pathogenecity of the 1917-1918 H1N1 virus. It also did not infect other tissues, and especially important, it did not infect the brain."**
"6.9% of the population contracted the virus, far below the 50% predicted by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. It is instructive to note that during the 1917-18 Swine flu epidemic the world infection rate was only 20%."*
"Very few cases reported as swine flu were in fact H1N1 variant virus. CBS examined the data in all 50 states. What they found, for example, was that in Georgia only 2% of reported cases were H1N1 (97% negative for H1N1); in Alaska only 1% of reported cases were H1N1 (93% negative for flu and 5% seasonal flu) and in California only 2% of reported cases were H1N1 with 12% being other flu viruses and 86% negative for flu.
A recent release from the CDC found that their survey reported that of 12,943 specimens tested from around the country, only 26.3% of cases tested positive for H1N1 variant virus, but that 99.8% of the specimens tested positive for some type of other flu virus, most of which were regular seasonal flu.
The average person’s risk of ending up in the ICU was one in 35,714 or about three thousandths of one percent (0.00285%), an incredibly low risk. When they looked at actual admission to the ICU, they found that it was people aged 25 to 49 who made up the largest number admitted. Infants from birth to age 1 year had the higher admission per population, and had a high mortality rate."**
There is low risk if you do not have an underlying chronic medical problem.
"of those infected with the H1N1 variant virus who were sick enough to be admitted to the ICU, 84.5 % went home and 14.3% died and that of those admitted with seasonal flu 72.9% were discharged and 16.2% died. That is, more died from the seasonal flu."**
"only 292 “healthy” people out of 1082 in 24 states were sick enough to enter the hospital -- that is 292 healthy people out of tens of millions of people,
Of the total hospitalized patients:
- 60% of children had underlying medical conditions
- 83% of adults had underlying medical conditions
They also found that 32% of patients had at least 2 medical conditions that would put them at risk. We are constantly told that it is the young adult aged 25 to 49 who is at the greatest risk. Note that 83% of these people had underlying medical conditions. This means that in truth
LIE #3: the vaccination will protect your children from contracting H1N1 flu
FACTS:
"children below the age of 2 years received no protection at all from the seasonal flu vaccine.
The recently completed study on the effectiveness of the new H1N1 vaccine reported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease found that 75% of small children below age 35 months received no protection from the H1N1 vaccine and that 65% of children between the ages of 3 years and 9 years received no protection from the vaccine.
An unpublished Canadian study of 12 million people that found getting the seasonal flu vaccine, as recommended by the CDC and NIH, doubles one’s risk of developing the H1N1 infection. It would also make the infection much more serious. So much for expert advice from the government.
"only 34 children considered healthy in a nation of 301 million people really died, not 84. It is also instructive to note that according to CDC figures, the seasonal flu last year killed 116 children.
Remember, that is, 34 so-called healthy children out of a nation of 40 million children. In 2003 it was reported by the CDC that 90 children died from seasonal flu complications. Ironically, as shown by Neil Z. Miller in his excellent book -- Vaccine Safety Manuel -- once the flu vaccine was given to small children the death rate from flu increased 7-fold."
