Why swine flu vaccines just don't add up: Doing the (fuzzy) math

September 2, 2009

Mike Adams puts the Vaccine numbers (money and the chances of getting saved/affected from the vaccine itself) into perspective.------------------------http://www.naturalnews.com/026955_swine_flu_vaccines_flu_vaccines.html

Here's a seventh grade word problem for you: If swine flu has

infected one million people and killed 500, how many people might be

expected to die if it infects 150 million people (assuming no major

changes in the virus)? The correct answer, of course, is 75,000 people,

and that's within the range of the number of swine flu deaths now being

publicly predicted by the White House.But there's another part

to this word problem: How many vaccine shots and hand washings does it

take to boost vitamin D levels in the average person?The question, of course, makes no sense. Vaccine shots don't boost vitamin D levels any more than eating pork infects you with swine flu.

So why is the official advice on swine flu protection essentially

limited to " wash your hands, get your vaccine shot and cough into your

elbow? " (Seriously. I'm not making this up.)The Associated Press

has distilled swine flu advice to " 10 things you need to know. " None of

those ten things include boosting your nutrition, getting more vitamin

D or taking anti-viral medicinal herbs. They do, however, include

hilarious explanations like " If you develop breathing problems, pain in

your chest, constant vomiting or a fever that keeps rising, go to an

emergency room. " Emergency room in a pandemic?Whatever

for? They don't bother to mention that in a pandemic scenario that

strikes you with constant vomiting, the entire emergency room is likely

to be overrun with other people joining you in a hospital room vomit fest.Nor

do they mention some other important math: The very limited number of

anti-viral medication courses available in the U.S. The last time I

checked, that was roughly 50 million courses. If the U.S. population is

roughly 300 million people, and there are 50 million courses of

anti-viral meds available, how many Americans will have no access to

those meds? (Ahem... 250 million people...)Here's an even more interesting brain buster for you: If each vaccine shot generates $25 in revenue for drug companies, and the U.S. government orders the production of 160 million vaccines, how much money is Big Pharma making off the pandemic? That answer is roughly $4 billion in net revenues.

But even that doesn't count all the repeat business from the future victims who suffer neurological side effects

from the vaccines and have to be institutionalized and subjected to

high-dollar medical care for years on end. In all, a mass vaccination

program could end up generating over ten billion dollars in revenues

for drug companies.These numbers just don't add upNow

let's look at some serious statistics: If one million people have

already been infected with swine flu, and 500 have died, that's a

fatality rate of 1 out of 2000 people. Depending on which research you

believe, vaccines might at most be credited with preventing 1% of flu

deaths during any given flu season (and that's being very generous to

the vaccine). So here's the question:How many people have to be vaccinated with the new swine flu vaccine to save ONE life from a swine flu fatality?

(Notice,

carefully, this question has never been asked in the mainstream media.

That's because the answer isn't exactly what most people want to

hear...)This question is easy to answer, actually. If the vaccine were 100% effective

(that is, they prevented every death that would have otherwise

occurred), they could be credited with saving 1 life out of 2000,

right? Because that's the normal death rate for this particular virus

(these figures are widely quoted by AP, Reuters and the White House, by

the way).

But no vaccine is 100% effective. As I mentioned above, seasonal flu vaccines

might -- at a stretch -- be credited with preventing 1% of the deaths

that might otherwise have occurred. With this 1% effectiveness factor

calculated back into the formula for swine flu (assuming the same 1%

effectiveness factor), it turns out that you would have to vaccinate 200,000 people to save ONE life from swine flu.That

puts a whole new perspective on the vaccine push, doesn't it? 200,000

vaccines costs taxpayers roughly $5,000,000, and it subjects 200,000

people to the potential side effects of these vaccines which have never

been subjected to any long-term testing whatsoever.It all begs the question: Is it really worth it?Is

it worth spending $5 million and exposing 200,000 people to potentially

dangerous vaccine side effects in order to prevent ONE death from swine

flu? And why isn't anybody breaking down the numbers on this issue and

providing a serious cost / benefit analysis as I'm doing here?Let's be generous to the vaccine...Vaccine

pushers might argue that the vaccine is far more than 1% effective at

preventing swine flu deaths. In their wildest dreams, they might

imagine a death reduction rate of, say, a wildly optimistic 10%. But

even considering that, is it worth it? If the vaccine stops 10% of

deaths that would have otherwise occurred, that still means you'd have

to vaccinate 200,000 people to prevent the deaths of ten people.I'm going to throw out a wild guess here and suggest that far more than 10 people will be killed by the vaccine itself, completely nullifying any net reduction in total deaths. Mathematically, you see, mass swine flu vaccinations make absolutely no sense given the very low rate of fatalities being observed right now.

Just do something!Of course, public health policy is never based on sense. It's based on politics.

And the politics demand that " they DO something! " That's what the

public wants: Do something! It doesn't matter if doing something is

worse than doing nothing... they just want to see some action.It's the same story with breast cancer

screenings (almost completely useless), prostate cancer screenings (now

proven to be far more harmful than helpful) and of course ADHD

screening tests (which are only designed to trick parents into drugging

their kids). Much of western medicine, it turns out, is complete hokum. We would all be better off without the screenings and without the vaccinations altogether.

There's a highly credible book on this subject by authors Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea. It's called What if Medicine Disappeared? (http://www.amazon.com/What-Medicine...)

This

book argues quite persuasively (and with the citation of many

convincing studies) that western medicine offers virtually no net gain

in quality of life

to the very people it claims to serve. Doctors, hospitals, vaccines and

cancer clinics could all disappear tomorrow and most people would

actually be far better off. Of course, no one disputes the value of

having emergency rooms to handle acute trauma and accidents, but when

it comes to preventive medicine and protecting quality of life, western

medicine is a near-total failure.When it comes to swine flu vaccines, any honest look at the math reveals that 200,000 people will have to be vaccinated with a largely untested experimental vaccine in order to prevent the death of one person (or ten people, if you really believe in vaccines). Remembering that more than one person in 200,000 will almost certainly be killed by the vaccine itself, it really makes you wonder: What's the point of all this?

The point, of course, is to sell vaccines.

It's the one math problem that everybody understands: To make money,

you have to sell a product, and there's no better way to sell vaccines

to 160 million people than to scare them into begging for injections

that are statistically opposed their own self interests. But I suppose

anything is possible in a country where state governments can

punitively tax the poor by convincing them to play the lottery. People

who play the lottery are very likely to be the same people getting

vaccine shots: It's like a lottery on your health, except that your

odds of " winning " are far worse than your odds of winning something in

a state lotto.Let's see: You have a 1 in 1 chance of being

injected with foreign viral matter, and yet you only have a 1 in

200,000 chance of your life being saved by it. Allow me to put this into perspective: You

have a 40 times greater chance of being struck by lightning at some

point in your life than having your life saved by the swine flu vaccine. (Source: National Weather Service statistics.)Mathematically

speaking, getting a swine flu injection and hoping it will save your

life is more foolish than buying a lotto ticket with your last dollar

and hoping you'll scratch off a multi-million dollar winning ticket.And buying a lotto ticket doesn't risk the health of your nervous system,

by the way. You can always earn back a buck, but restoring your nervous

system after it's attacked by a rogue vaccine can take years or

decades. Some never recover. (Thousands died from the 1976 vaccines.)Pop quiz: What's the actual cost of vaccinating 160 million Americans with an unproven, experimental swine flu vaccine?Answer:

$1.6 billion plus countless victims with strange neurological

disorders, comas and sudden death -- all of which will be written off

as " coincidence " by the vaccine pushers.Free flu shots for the unemployedAs

this article was about to go to press, I couldn't help but notice a new

announcement by CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. The powers that be are so

desperate to get all Americans injected with this experimental vaccine

that CVS and Walgreens are now offering free swine flu vaccine injections to anyone who doesn't have a job!That's

right: Just show up, prove you're unemployed, and you get jabbed at no

charge. (Who said losing your job didn't have some benefits, huh?)

Conspiracy theorists might suggest this is a clever way to clear the

streets of " useless eaters. " Just lure the jobless into some

experimental vaccine program, inject them and send them on their way.
