Interesting observations on the OPV.

http://emergingtrendspm565.blogspot.com/2009/02/polio-vaccine-boycotts-in-nigeria.htmlIn 1996, President Nelson Mandela and 45 other heads of state in South Africa launched the Kick Polio Out of Africa campaign, leading every country to have introduced key eradication strategies by the year 2000 [8]. It was reported that the number of cases of polio in Nigeria had decreased from about 990 in 2000 to 300 in 2002 [9]. However, in mid-2003, eradication efforts were derailed when several communities decided to postpone vaccinations. In the largely Muslim northern part of the country, states such as Zamfara, Kaduna and Kano refused to take part in the immunization drive.A Muslim organization, the Supreme Council for Sharia, claimed that it had evidence to

show that the vaccine was unsafe [10]. The President of the Supreme Council, Dr. Datti Ahmed, stated that “there were strong reasons to believe that the polio immunization vaccines was contaminated with anti-fertility drugs, contaminated with certain viruses that cause HIV/AIDS, contaminated with Simian virus that are likely to cause cancer†[11]. Some even went as far to say that the vaccine was a Western plot to make Muslim women infertile; they claimed that the immunization campaign was part of a U.S.. plot to depopulate Muslims [12]. Kano state’s Governor Ibrahim Shekarau said that it was “a lesser of two evils to sacrifice two, three, four, five, even 10 children [to polio] than allow hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of girl-children likely to be rendered infertile†[13]. The Council asked the Nigerian government to suspend the immunization program and to have the vaccines checked for safety.The tests initiated by the

Nigerian federal government and the South African federal government concluded that the vaccines were free of harmful substances; despite these findings, Muslim groups rejected the results. Kano state officials said that their own scientists tested the vaccines and found trace amounts of estrogen and progesterone, which they feared would cause infertility. Another influential Muslim group, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, said that it sponsored its own tests in Britain and India, and got similar results. Such test results may have been false positives, which arise from improper testing methods or the mixing of foreign materials during testing. Even so, the WHO has said, the hormones found at the levels indicated by the Muslim scientists were of “absolutely no health consequence†and amounted to even less than the amount found naturally in mothers’ breast milk.

Humans are intrinsically healthy and tend to remain so if they are given nutritious, non-GMO foods, fresh air, and clean water. We have been blessed with God-given protective barriers against infectious diseases, including our skin and immune system. Knowing that these facts are true for all members of the human species, how did we come to embrace the idea that injecting solutions of chemically-treated, inactivated viruses, parts of bacteria, traces of animal tissue and heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum, was a reasonable strategy for keeping human beings—babies, children and adults—healthy? - Dr Sherri Tenpenny, DO..
