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.
