Influenza

On the 30th of April 2004 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

added the influenza vaccine to its list of recommended immunizations for all

infants. The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American

Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Physicians agree that all

children starting from age six months onward, and their caregivers, should

obtain the flu vaccine. Eventually, if these organizations have their way, this

will turn into the biggest vaccination program in history. It translates into a

dose each year for every man, women and child in the United States because

medical authorities believe that each person needs to be protected from the flu.

 

Added to the already heavy babies' recommended immunization schedule this

recommendation brings a new element to the vaccine question. For a child born

today that’s an additional twenty vaccine shots during the first twenty years

of

life, and sixty-five shots by the time they reach sixty-five. What no one

seems to have grasped yet is that this constitutes the biggest lawbreaking

recommendation in the history of government. There is not a person alive who can

testify, with any shred of certainty, what the accumulative effects would be on

a

child born today of these additional twenty or 65 shots. That makes the

official flu vaccine program in the United States a medical experiment. The

Nuremberg Laws forbids such experiments. Any organization or person that breaks

this

law is thus guilty of crimes against humanity.

 

At the end of 2004 Klaus Stohr of the WHO Global Influenza Program said " Even

with the best case scenario, the most optimistic scenario, the pandemic will

cause a public health emergency with estimates which will put the number of

deaths in the range of two and seven million. There is no reason to believe that

we are going to be spared. An influenza pandemic will spare nobody. Every

country will be affected, " he said. For several years newspapers around the

world have threatened the public with graphic accounts of a flu plague that was

destined to kill. Doctors and the public alike are conditioned to expect a

massive outbreak of killer flu each year. Millions of people are expected to die

worldwide as a new strain of super-bug sweeps the globe. It must be a

disappointment to certain medical officers that these predictions never

materialize.

“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,â€[ii] says Dr. Henry I. Miller, a fellow at the Hoover

Institution and former director of the Office of Biotechnology. The BBC adds,

“

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.â€[iii] With communications like this the public is left in

constant fear of the wrong enemy. Instead of paying attention to the real and

growing health threat of mercury and other toxins in the environment that lead

to flu and flu complications, people pay attention only to the effect of

chemical poisoning and this leads them to line up for more shots and more

poison. It

seems none of the above people or organizations have read the CDC’s

version[iv], 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 repeatedly at certain times of the year.

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

59 of these children had received their flu shots.[v]

By the CDC’s own admission, the vaccine for the flu is not effective against

the flu. 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 some of these influenza deaths. Doctors like Harold Buttram have

made

excellent cases about how injections like this one diminish immune strength and

resistance[vi] in children and adults alike. This is not what anyone needs

when entering another flu season.

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.[vii]

We have seen that 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. When the CDC admitted that 59 of the 135 children who

died of the flu received their vaccine shots they admit a huge conceptual gap in

their medical reasoning.[viii] With four million children born each year we

are talking about giving 20 million children flu shots to theoretically save 76

children’s lives. Is this intelligent? Vaccine educated people know that

immunization is all about benefit Vs risk ratios. In this case there is

negligent

benefit and large unknown risks.

In reality there has been no flu pandemic anywhere but that does not bring a

halt to those ‘killer flu’ front-page specials. The winters of 1998, 99,

2000, 01, 02, 03, saw the same tired old headlines appearing in the press

driving

the public and herding them with fear into clinics to get their desperately

needed flu shots. Yet for a long time people have felt something wrong in the

medical establishments propaganda about the flu. 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.†It does not take a lot of imagination to recognize there

exists a

long-term pharmaceutical strategy leading up to the present recommendation by

the ACIP to make flu vaccines universal and mandatory.

In 2004 children were lucky because approximately fifty million doses of the

vaccine containing 25 micrograms of thimerosal were thrown in the garbage at

the Chiron vaccine plant in England. That’s fifty million less chemical

assaults on the nervous system. According to Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director

of the

Centers for Disease Control, speaking to congressional representatives, said

that at best the preservative may be eliminated from the vaccine by 2009.[ix]

Since medical authorities abandon their responsibility what we really need are

similar disasters at the Chiron plant for the next five years to protect the

children. This abandonment of responsibility and reason has run rampant in

medicine recently when it comes to the flu. This was exemplified by Dr. Chesley

Richards, of the division of geriatric medicine at Emory University, who said,

when Americans were faced with severe shortages of the flu vaccine, that the

elderly and parents with children between 6 months and 23 months might want to

consider what he calls " prophylactic therapy, " by which he means taking

anti-viral pills that may be powerful enough to prevent the flu. The trick, he

says,

is not taking these prescription medications --amantadine, rimantadine and

oseltamivir -- too early.[x]

Those who deliberately foster fear among the public of influenza and the bird

flu deliberately ignore studies that show small mercury concentrations

predisposing organisms to influenza. It has been shown that “prolonged

exposure of

mammals (white mice) to low mercury concentrations (0.008 – 0.02 mg/m3) leads

to a significant increase in the susceptibility of mice to pathological

influenza virus strains. This is shown by a decrease in the Ld 50 and a more

severe

course of infection. In the experimental group more mice died (86 – 90.3 %

than

in the unexposed animals (60.2 – 68 %), additionally the experimental group

died more quickly. The significant difference was in the appearance and degree

of pneumonia in the effected animals,†wrote Dr. I. M. Trakhtenberg in Chronic

Effects of Mercury on Organisms.[xi]

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 multiply the danger and risk of viruses because without

exaggerated stories flu vaccines just would not sell. In reality the virus is

not dangerous in and of itself. The CDC deals with disease, not health. They

would not stop and think that patients who exercise, for example, would be

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

And we find this to be exactly the case. Jeffrey A. Woods, PhD., and graduate

student Tom Lowder at the Physical Fitness Laboratory, Department of

Kinesiology, University of Illinois, Urbana recently reported 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 this October of 2004 their findings 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.

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

right to defend themselves against the flu. 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 5 consecutive flu shots his/her chance of developing

Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times greater than if they had 1, two or no

shots.[xii]

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 already in place, and with children

already carrying increasingly heavy burdens of toxins, including mercury

administered through other vaccines, it’s a crap shoot gamble on what will

happen to

the children under the CDC’s rule with the addition of the flu vaccine that

contains thimerosal.

Most pediatric flu shots contain 12.5 mcg. of mercury. According to EPA

guidelines for ingested (vs. injected) methylmercury (vs. ethylmercury) not

likely

to cause harm in adults, an infant or young child would need to weigh 275

pounds to receive this injection for it to be considered safe.

The addition of the flu vaccine into the childhood immunization schedule,

loaded as it is with chemicals like mercury and aluminum reveals the true nature

of the pharmaceutical companies. Despite everything that has been researched

and published about thimerosal they have insisted that the flu vaccine loaded

with thimerosal be re-introduced into the childhood vaccine schedule. It is

incredulous that five years after the Public Health Service and vaccine

manufacturers announced they were going to remove Thimerosal/mercury from

vaccines; we

are witnessing what amounts to a reversal in policy. The CDC evidently

believes that healthy infants ages 6-23 months should receive 25 mcg of

thimerosal,

half of which is mercury. It is absolutely dumbfounding that such a program was

conceived and successfully implemented in 2004.[xiii] Parents are up in arms

rightfully and more states are reviewing passing laws against thimerosal

bearing vaccines like California and Iowa have. Presently Maryland is reviewing

such a law and the CDC rushed over information saying there is no connection

between thimerosal and neurological disorders like autism. Fortunately because

of

the hard work of many parents of autistic kids, fewer and fewer people trust

the top medical officials of the country.

Seven additional states had ongoing mercury ban legislation in 2004:

Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode

Island.

Four other states are pursuing legislation into 2005: Illinois, Massachusetts,

North Carolina, and Ohio. In reality parents are now in complete rebellion of

the federal health establishment and are actively pursuing legislation to ban

mercury in vaccines in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,

Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New

Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin,

and

Wyoming.

Many Americans know that there is an autism-mercury connection and the

American government is increasing putting itself in the position of a dark power

that is justifying the poisoning of children. Congressman Dave Weldon (R-FL),

always in the front lines of this fight against the medical establishment, has

sponsored legislation in the U.S. House to ban mercury in vaccines for infants

and young children (HR4169) but unfortunately no similar legislation has been

sponsored in the U.S. Senate. American parents, six years on from the 1999 FDA

recommendation against the use of thimerosal in vaccines, are still trying to

get mercury out of vaccines. Much success was made but federal agencies

betrayed all sense of reason introducing a vaccine into the childhood

immunization

schedule that contains thimerosal.

Healthy children who are well nourished and not exposed to environmental

toxins and intense barrages of vaccines are not at risk for flu complications

and death by the flu virus. The entire concept upon which the CDC operates is

seriously flawed yet they have so much power and marketing muscle they manage

to manipulate the entire country into stampeding doctors’ offices each year

for flu shots. The paradigm of the medical establishment, pharmaceutical,

chemical companies and government has them poisoning people as they walk around

believing they are the saviors of humanity. When it comes to the flu we should

remember that if one comes down with one out of season it’s not considered flu

but only a common cold. The fall and winter offers temperature induced stresses

that push unhealthy bodies over the edge into the flu. This is just as valid

of a medical concept as a virus that precipitates the flu. The flu vaccine,

especially the new nasal flu vaccines, also pushes people over the edge by

deliberately exposing a person to live flu viruses and is the reason its counter

indicated for children under five and adults over 65. The regular flu vaccine

with thimerosal offers a strong shock to the body and since mercury has been

shown to worsen flu conditions it is not what one would want to give ones child.

Incredible to conceive is the evidence that certain highly placed people in

the medical establishment have had their consciousness turned and now see the

public as cows that need to be cattle prodded each year into taking their flu

shots. How history is going to judge them is not apparent nor is it written

what future generations will think of the public which let it be so deceived. It

seems like HG Wells previewed the current situation quite well in writing his

book The Time Machine where men were harvested as food by the monsters who

lived below the surface of the earth. Today we have monsters that walk the earth

and they think nothing of injecting babies with the most toxic substances on

earth. These monsters walk around in suits, white medical and lab coats smiling

while reassuring us that all is well and our worst fears are paranoid

illusions. Even more amazing is that humanity has evolved itself to the point

where

it is nice to monsters and treats them with respect.
