I've attached a copy of their press release at the end of this message.The $6.3-million Grand Challenges grant to M-NIMBS will support development and testing of a nanoemulsion-based vaccine delivery system designed to deliver vaccines using a simple nasal swab, rather than an injection. The heat-stable, anti-microbial nanoemulsion could eliminate the need for vaccine refrigeration, which often is unavailable in developing countries. Following tests for safety and efficacy in mice and primates, a human clinical trial of the nanoemulsion with hepatitis B vaccine will be conducted in Africa.

There's only one problem: The vaccination approach to world health utterly ignores the far greater problem of nutrition, vitamin D and immune support for children who already have the immune system technology to resist polio infections -- it just needs proper nutritional support.The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into vaccinations over the last few years, apparently believing that the world's health problems can be solved by injecting everyone with weakened viral fragments and chemical preservatives. But in reality, this approach is a calamity of misdirected do-goodedness that only serves to promote the dangerous idea that more chemicals are the answer to the world's health problems.Infectious disease will always persist in an environment populated by immune-suppressed human beings.The root of the polio problem is not a lack of vaccines but rather a lack of fundamental nutritional literacy (and affordability) among the world's poor. A $630 million donation of children's nutritional supplements would be far more effective at combating polio than vaccines. And nutrition has the added benefit of preventing everything else, too: Colds and flu, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, mental disorders and a whole lot more.It's great that Bill Gates wants to give money to help the children of the world, but it's disastrous that he has aligned himself with Big Pharma in pursuing this mission. The vaccination approach to world health will only result in the health care equivalent of the blue screen of death, requiring a rebooting of the entire global health care system in order to restore healthy function.I cringe at the thought that every time I buy a Microsoft product, I'm indirectly generating money to be used for Big Pharma's global vaccination agenda. And with Steve Jobs suffering the effects of pancreatic cancer surgery, and Bill Gates giving millions away to push vaccines, I'm beginning to wonder: Is there any technology guru with a lot of money who understands nutrition and honest health care?So far, the answer seems to be one big negatory on that.Go with Linux instead. There's no evil in it.Click to read: Bill Gates Spends $630 Million to Vaccinate Children Against PolioFrom Reuters.com: The polio virus remains endemic in only Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan, but imported cases from these four countries threaten other developing nations.... more =====In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
