Flu Crimes at the CDC

 

 

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

 

If you haven't read the lead story from last issue on the insanity

surrounding the vaccine issue, then please read it now. It was a major

blessing that Chiron's manufacturing facility in Britain was closed

because the British government suspended its manufacturing license

because of contamination at a Liverpool factory. I truly believe the

snafu that eliminated some 50 million vaccines probably was a

lifesaver for many men, women and children in the United States.

 

Vaccines, like mega-billion drugs, actually do little to protect you

from the flu. Most people have been lead to believe -- by the

pharmaceutical powers that dominate conventional medicine and really

like your money -- that viruses like the flu bug are the problem, but

they aren't.

 

The real problem: Most people have weakened and impaired immune

systems that are unable to function as they're designed to because of

horrendous dietary habits (the same culprit behind the obesity

epidemic in this country).

 

Dr. Mark Sircus wrote an excellent piece for his association that he

agreed to share with us about the history behind the flu vaccine and

the method behind the madness of our government's push to strike fear

in the hearts of its citizens. This exposes provides more motivation

to further my personal mission to topple the existing health care

paradigm.

On the 7th of October, the BBC started hitting the public with its

yearly dose of hyped flu propaganda. " The 1918 " Spanish " flu pandemic

is estimated to have infected up to one billion people -- half the

world's population at the time. The virus killed more people than any

other single outbreak of disease, surpassing even the Black Death of

the Middle Ages. " 1 One can only wonder about " the miracle " of vaccines

in those early days.

 

Today in England, with the most modern technology, we have a vaccine

plant closing because of contamination.

 

Imagine during World War I, when the pharmaceutical companies first

started mass-producing vaccines. At that time, refrigeration was

chancier and vaccine manufacturing technology primitive. Federal

regulators said an inspection of Chiron's flu-vaccine plant in June

2003 turned up manufacturing problems, meaning they had ample warning

of troubles that, over a year later, remained unresolved.

 

John Taylor, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs,

was correct in saying, last year, that " Chiron wouldn't necessarily be

able to discover problems, identify the root cause and take steps to

prevent similar issues from arising again. " 2

 

Why would we assume the early manufacturers of almost 100 years ago

would do any better?

 

Chiron's Fluvirin vaccine was pulled off the market after the

dangerous serratia bacteria was found in a manufacturing plant that

uses the most up-to-the-minute safeguards. Chiron also uses the

mercury-based preservative thimerosal as a sterilizing agent in making

Fluvirin, to prevent exactly this type of contamination.

 

Before the 1930s, no such powerful preservative was available. It's

not beyond reason or statistical probability that the vaccines back

then were contaminated or seriously flawed in some way and provoked

the epidemic that killed so many.

 

Dr. Eleanor McBean, who lived through the 1918 Influenza epidemic,

testified, " As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the

vaccinated. Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family

had refused all the vaccinations so we remained well all the time.

There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than

among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had

been vaccinated against. " 3

 

Scare Tactics

 

It's quite normal for the medical establishment to bash the public

with improbable stories of the past and " carrot stick " them with

future fears saying things like this:

 

Scientists believe the 1918 virus leapt to humans by mutating from

bird flu, possibly after passing through pigs, which are able to

harbor both human and avian viruses and thus allow them to swap genes

as the viruses reproduce. For that reason, experts are deeply

concerned that the avian flu that has broken out in poultry flocks in

parts of south-east Asia may acquire genes that will make it highly

infectious as well as lethal for humans. 4

 

This kind of speculation is simply that, speculation. Beliefs without

substance. A good storyline to scare naïve people with. We can as

easily believe the vaccines themselves killed hundreds of thousands of

people because the pharmaceutical manufacturers had not developed

safeguards or sufficient technology to ensure quality control.

 

" Influenza kills tens of thousands every year in this country and

requires the hospitalization of about a quarter-million. In epidemic

years, mortality can be in the millions, " 5 says Dr. Henry I. Miller, a

fellow at the Hoover Institution and former director of the Office of

Biotechnology, who seems not to have read the CDC's version6, which

puts 1918 flu deaths at only 500,000, the Asian Flu pandemic of

1957-58 at 70,000 and the Hong Kong Flu pandemic of 1968-69 at 34,000.

 

Medical authorities, the media and doctors like Miller tend to have

statistical hallucinations this time of year. Miller goes on to

suggest, " The FDA should also make it clear that although the labeling

for FluMist, the nasal vaccine, indicates that it is intended for

recipients aged 5 to 49 years, it will likely also be effective in

those younger or older. "

 

FluMist was a disaster last year not only because it is expensive but

because it is dangerous and comes with warnings that those who use it

can become contagious for up to 21 days to those around them, because

of it's live viruses. Miller, in some kind of manic need to sure up

this year's flu campaign, would have it stuffed up the noses of babies

even though the FDA has indicated this is not safe.

 

The CDC estimated that from 1990 to 1999, an average of approximately

92 influenza-related deaths occurred each year among children less

than 5 years of age.7

 

Truth Behind the Fear

 

It is clear, at least to naturopathic doctors, that people and young

children die from the flu not because of the virus itself but because

they are already sick, are bearing heavy toxic burdens, and have

severely compromised immune systems.

 

Allopathic doctors like Miller forget the most basic principles of

health and disease because they do not care to look into the realities

of the patients they treat. They do not want to take the time to

understand weaknesses in patients because they are eating too much

sugar, are malnourished, are getting inadequate rest or if they are

suffering from intense emotional trauma.

 

The " flu salesmen " doctors and the CDC multiply the danger and risk of

viruses because, without exaggerated stories, flu vaccines just would

not sell for the virus is not dangerous in and of itself.

 

Understand the CDC deals with diseases, not health. They would not

stop and think that patients who exercise would be better protected

from the dangers of flu then from patients who took vaccines.

 

Jeffrey A. Woods, Ph.D., and graduate student Tom Lowder at the

Physical Fitness Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology, University of

Illinois, Urbana, recently said just this, reporting that four

consecutive days of moderate exercise in mice after they were infected

with influenza protects them from dying, compared with mice that

didn't exercise.

 

Woods and Lowder are reporting their findings this month at the

American Physiological Society's 2004 Intersociety Meeting, showing

that 20-week-old mice that had exercised had significantly (p=0.008)

higher survival rates (18 of 22) versus HCC of the same age (10 of

22). When all EX mice (47) were compared with all HCC mice (48), EX

had twice the survival rate, 59% vs. 29.4% (p=0.003).

 

They reported that none of the variables (food/water intake, random

activity or symptom severity) proved to be reliable at predicting

mortality.

 

Ideology vs. Common Sense

 

The CDC states that 135 children died during the 2003-2004 flu season.

59 of these children had received their flu shots.8

 

It's just too much for the CDC to suggest that patients exercise and

eat right. They would rather promote vaccines that contain dangerous

chemicals and inject that in babies than promote health.

 

Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the most quoted biologist of our time,

says that if an individual has five consecutive flu shots his or her

chances of developing Alzheimer's Disease are 10 times greater than if

they had one, two or no shots.9

 

What it will do to babies given year after year is anyone's guess. And

that is exactly what it is: a guess, an experiment, for no one knows,

for there have been no tests. Clearly, no longitudinal study has been

made with babies on the effect of giving annual flu shots starting

from six months of age.

 

With an already heavy childhood immunization schedule in place, and

children carrying heavy burdens of toxins, including mercury

administered through other vaccines, it's a gamble what will happen to

children under the CDC's rule with the addition of the flu vaccine

that contains thimerosal. Of course, experimenting with children or

anyone else is against the laws of humanity and certainly a serious

breach of medical ethics.

 

The addition of the flu vaccine into the childhood immunization

schedule, loaded as it is with nasty chemicals like mercury, aluminum

and even formaldehyde, reveals the CDC's true colors as a terrorist

organization whose prime target is children. If not medical

terrorists, we would have to see them as medically ignorant, or even

worse, medically insane.

 

Medical Terrorists

 

" Medical " terrorists fit the bill more correctly because of their well

known conflicts of interests with the major pharmaceutical companies,

meaning too many people in the medical establishment benefit directly

or indirectly from pharmaceutical profits. The entire vaccine

department at the CDC should be faced with Nuremberg Trials for they

are breaking the Nuremberg Code by administering the flu vaccine to

6-month-old babies starting this year, and every year thereafter.10

 

If eminent doctors warn against the serious effect of consecutive flu

shots to adults, imagine a newborn baby getting one each year. What

will happen to them after 10 or 20 consecutive years of receiving a

vaccine to protect them from a virus that good nutrition, vitamin C

and exercise would protect them from?

 

The best news in medicine this year ends up being the Chiron story.

Approximately 50 million people and children will be spared 25

micrograms of mercury in the form of thimerosal this year. That's 50

million fewer crimes against humanity. That's 50 million fewer

assaults on the nervous system for certainly thimerosal is nerve toxic

even at concentrations well below 25 micrograms.

 

Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director of the CDC, speaking to

congressional representatives, said that, at best, the preservative

may be eliminated from the vaccine by 2009.11 Can we hope for similar

disasters at the Chiron plant for the next five years in a row?

 

After all, by the CDC's own admission, the vaccine for the flu is not

effective against it. With 59 out of the 135 flu deaths this past year

stemming from vaccinated children, a case could be made to include the

vaccine itself in the etiology of influenza death. Many good doctors

like Harold Buttram have made excellent cases about how injections

like this one diminish immune strength and resistance in children and

adults alike.12

 

This is not what anyone needs when entering yet another flu season.

 

Mark A. Sircus Ac., OMD, is director of the International Medical

Veritas Association and, as senior editor, launched the first issue of

the Medical Veritas Journal of Medicine. Dr. Sircus was trained in

acupuncture and oriental medicine at the Institute of Traditional

Medicine in Sante Fe, N.M., and in the School of Traditional Medicine

of New England in Boston.

 

He served at the Central Public Hospital of Pochutla, in México,

and was awarded the title of doctor of oriental medicine for his work.

One of the first nationally certified acupuncturists in the United

States, he was persecuted by the medical board of New Hampshire in the

early 1980s for practicing medicine (acupuncture) without a license.

This led him to diversify his healing work into other areas especially

counseling and psychology.

 

Today, Dr. Sircus is spearheading a dramatically different medical

organization dedicated to unifying the various disciplines in medicine

with the goal of creating a new dawn in healthcare. Dr. Sircus is

particularly concerned about the effect vaccinations have on

vulnerable infants and is identifying the common thread of many toxic

agents that are dramatically threatening present and future

generations of children.
