President Obama and his top health officials are engaging in a major

public relations effort to divert attention away from whether its

swine flu vaccine is effective and safe by focusing attention on

whether there is enough of it to go around. And the media is cooperating fully.

 

Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh

criticisms of the governments plan to vaccinate virtually the entire

U.S. population with a poorly tested vaccine that is not only

ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many

more people than it helps.

 

The CDCs public relations campaign has been running scare ads that

portray swine flu as a full-blown pandemic responsible for snuffing

out countless lives. But scientists and health officials throughout

the world have called the governments claims unjustified and

deliberately misleading.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

The article above, written by Richard Gale, a former Senior Research

Analyst in the biotechnology and genomic industries, and Dr. Gary

Null, author of

<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001RFYFCQ/optimalwellnessc>Vaccine

Nation, highlights one of the latest propaganda techniques used to

frighten you into action, namely scarcity of H1N1 vaccines.

Weve seen this tactic used before, with great effect, as people rush

to the nearest vaccination facility to make sure they dont miss the

opportunity to be the one to get this rare life sustaining elixir.

It amazes me that despite all the evidence to the contrary, health

officials and mass media are still saying the swine flu could kill

some 90,000 Americans if we dont all get vaccinated.

There is simply NO evidence to support this outlandish projection.

The evidence actually points to the exact opposite, that this season

will have LESS deaths from flu than last year.

The data is very clear that its a milder than normal virus, only a

few percent of all cases with the designation swine flu are actually

the H1N1 virus, and in the Southern Hemisphere, people got over the

wave of the flu just fine, before the vaccine was even available.

Government's Claims Unjustified and Deliberately Misleading

Gale and Null mention two distinguished health experts who have gone

on the record to rebut government scare tactics.

Dr. Anthony Morris, a distinguished virologist and former Chief

Vaccine Office at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA), states

that There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far

developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of

influenza and that The producers of these vaccines know they are

worthless, but they go on selling them anyway.

 

And in November 2007, the UK newspaper The Scotsman, made public

warnings by the inventor of the flu jab, Dr. Graeme Laver.

Dr. Laver was a major Australian scientist involved in the invention

of a flu vaccine, in addition to playing a leading scientific role in

the discovery of anti-flu drugs. He went on record as saying the

vaccine he helped to create was ineffective and [that] natural

infection with the flu was safer. I have never been impressed with

its efficacy, said Dr. Laver.

So why is it that when it comes to public health decisions,

government refuses to hear but one side of the argument?

Why are our health officials ignoring all the experts who have direct

involvement with vaccines and claim to know they are neither as safe,

nor as effective, as the drug industry insists they are?

What Can You Learn From History?

The last time we trusted industry and their appointed government

lackeys about the swine flu vaccine, the vaccine ended up killing 300

times more people than the flu itself! It was 1976, and an outbreak

of swine flu supposedly threatened the lives of millions.

But instead of the flu killing millions of people, it claimed ONE

life, whereas the vaccine turned out to contain the real danger.

Twenty five people died from severe pulmonary complications after

receiving the swine flu vaccine, and about 500 cases of

Guillain-Barre Syndrome were reported after vaccination. Some 300

claims were later filed by families of Guillain-Barre Syndrome

victims who died from the disease.

The 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle ended up costing the US government

$3.5 billion in damages to some 4,000 vaccine injured Americans -- a

direct result of the CDCs intensive vaccination campaign.

Speeding ahead with our current mass vaccination policy after such a

history lesson is plain foolish. Apparently, those in charge have

chosen to learn nothing.

I agree with Gale and Null when they say that being anti-vaccine or

pro-vaccine is not the most urgent issue here.

The most critical point is to evaluate whether or not there is

legitimate, sound science to support either position. They write:

in this regard, the vaccine manufacturers and our federal health

agencies have failed in the past, and continue to fail today. And

they fail dismally.

There is absolutely no evidence for sound-scientific protocol or

anything resembling a gold-standard behind the swine flu infection

statistics and vaccine efficacy and safety clinical trials to support

Obamas and his health advisors claims. Instead, the reports on

hospitalizations and deaths due to the H1N1 virus are grossly distorted.

How Many Swine Flu Cases Actually Involve the H1N1 Virus?

They bring up another critical point that most people are not aware

of -- that what is being reported as swine flu is in fact NOT swine

flu, or even the regular flu!

As of August 30, 2009, the CDC ceased testing and counting actual

H1N1 virus infections. As of that date, any and all cases or deaths

of people exhibiting flu like symptoms are automatically tallied as

an H1N1 case, artificially driving up the perceived threat.

The CDCs public explanation is that they are convinced a pandemic is

underway and, therefore, accurate monitoring is unnecessary because

its so widespread, world-wide.

However, as Ill show you in just a moment, this is simply not true!

Yes, the H1N1 virus has appeared world-wide, but it is not the CAUSE

of most flu like illness and death. In fact, the H1N1 virus is a tiny

player, causing very little trouble.

Gale and Null explain:

The truth is that we move annually into periods where there are

dramatic increases in flu-like causing pathogens, however, the

majority of these are unrelated to any strain of influenza virus.

There can between 150 and 200 different infectious

pathogens-adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza, the very common

coronavirus and, of course, pneumonia-that produce flu-like symptoms,

and worse, during a flu season.

For example, how many people have heard of bocavirus, which is

responsible for bronchitis and pneumonia in young children, or

metapneumovirus, responsible for more than 5 percent of all

flu-related illnesses? This is true during every flu season and this

year is no different.

Furthermore, all flu vaccinations, including the swine flu, are

useless for protecting people from these many prevalent infectious organisms.

CBS News, after conducting a three-month investigation into the swine

flu statistics,

<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-\

Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx>uncovered

a number of very sobering facts that clearly show this swine flu

pandemic for the cruel hoax it really is.

To be more precise, it was Sharyl Attkisson, an investigative

correspondent for CBS News, who single-handedly uncovered this.

Sharyl has agreed to allow me to interview her about her ground

breaking efforts in exposing this massive misinformation campaign,

and I will feature her interview shortly.

Before beginning their investigation, Sharyl Attkisson asked the CDC

for state-by-state test results prior to their halting of testing and

tracking. The CDC did not initially respond, so she went to all 50

states directly, asking for their statistics on state lab-confirmed

H1N1 prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July.

What did they find? Sharyl reported:

" The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care

professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative

for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states

were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have

H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico. "

As you can see from this CBS News graphic, not only are most cases of

suspected flu-like illnesses not H1N1, they're not even the flu but

more likely some type of cold or upper respiratory infection!

News)

The interesting part of this is that a lot of these facts are not

really hidden from you. Simply looking through the CDCs own website

with a critical eye and a rational mind, you can discover the truth

for yourself.

Heres just one example that contradicts what theyre saying in their

official missives.

According to their own data, far fewer people have died from H1N1

than any seasonal flu in the past, world-wide!

For the US, this

RL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.cdc.gov%2fflu%2fweekly%2fweeklyarchives2009-2010%2fbigpi41.h\

tm>graph

from the CDC, showing the " Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality for 122

US Cities " also shows that, so far, this year's flu mortality is FAR

below that of 2008.

 

Were you panicking last year?

If not, why should you panic now when the risks are at a near all-time LOW?

Really, sit down somewhere and seriously think about this for a moment...

In light of all the facts, the question that begs to be asked is Why

is the government and their handmaidens, the media, fueling this

panic mentality?

Why are we once again talking about vaccination for every man woman

and child in the nation, or, in fact, the world?

Why are Vaccine Safety Advocates Equated to Anti-Vaccine Fringe Lunatics?

Do you, or do you not, want the products injected into your body to

be safe and reasonably effective?

If you do, youll need to seriously consider who is actually looking

out for your health and safety, because the drug industry is not, and

health officials with industry ties are not, and the FDA, which has a

revolving door to the drug industry, isnt doing it either.

Everyone wants safety. No one wants to get hurt by a drug or a

vaccine, or have their child adversely affected . But few want to do

whats necessary to ensure such safety exists. Those who insist on it

are branded as quacks and lunatics.

Its an interesting dilemma But it explains why many health care

professionals stay mum on the subject, for fear of hurting their

professional status.

Others, for whatever reason, are convinced vaccines offer the best

protection against viruses, completely ignoring how your body and

immune system actually works; how real immunity is achieved; and how

your lifestyle affects your risk for complications.

For example, in

<http://www.cfr.org/publication/20442/session_i_of_a_council_on_foreign_relation\

s_symposium_on_pandemic_influenza.html>session

1 of a Council On Foreign Relations Symposium on Pandemic Influenza:

Science, Economics and Foreign Policy, held on October 16, 2009, an

attendee identified as Tom Wilson (ph) from Cornell Medical School

made the following statement to the panel:

Sir, I think we're all aware that the anti-vaccine movement is having

a field day on the Internet and on media outlooks like Fox News and

so on, causing productions in vaccine uptake, and it appears to be a

pretty unholy alliance of the ultra right and the ultra left working

together to sort of hit with strong anti-tactics.

I'm not sure we're countering these people very well, and one of the

things I do in my spare time is counter the AIDS denial, as to people

believe (who) HIV is harmless or doesn't exist, and which led to the

deaths of over 350,000 people in South Africa over the past decade.

And you have to take these people on in a different style than

scientists are used to. We have to develop better sound bites. We

have to develop better discussion. You don't really -- you can't

really debate these people, but you have to develop the counter methods.

For example, you hear that we shouldn't take flu vaccines because the

mercury will kill us. Well, Paul Offit in the New York Times last

week pointed out that there is less mercury in a flu shot than there

is in a tuna fish sandwich, and that's a powerful sound bite to use

against the crazy people who think that vaccines will kill you.

That's just one example.

We need to develop anti-tactics to get across the message that

vaccines are safe and beneficial to society, and we need to learn to

deal with the crazy people who would try and stop us doing that.

(For the full transcript, see this

<http://www.cfr.org/publication/20442/session_i_of_a_council_on_foreign_relation\

s_symposium_on_pandemic_influenza.html>link.)

The kind of sound bites this man recommends are just the type of

dangerous misinformation were trying to teach you about. Because to

think that the mercury youd ingest from fish would affect you in the

same way as mercury being injected straight into your body, bypassing

all of your bodys natural defenses and detoxing mechanisms is simply false.

Why H1N1 Likely Will NEVER Be a True Pandemic Threat

To finish up, Id like to

Peter Palese, Professor and Chair, Microbiology and Professor of

Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Mount Sinai School of Medicine one of

the panel members of the Council On Foreign Relations Symposium on

Pandemic Influenza:

So, clearly, when I say this 2009 virus is like another seasonal

virus, I don't mean this is a harmless virus which we should ignore.

No. The regular flu is bad enough and this 2009 virus is also bad

enough. Having said that, it lacks certain signatures, certain

molecular signs which are associated with the 1918 pandemic and then

explained in 1957 and in 1968, and that is one of the genes.

It has a technical name, PB1F2, and that is missing in the 2009

virus. And it could acquire this by exchanging that mini-chromosome

and getting one which carries that PB1F2 or by point mutation,

however, and that would make it more virulent.

However, it is sort of like if I put a more powerful engine into a

VW, if I put a Lamborghini engine into a VW or a little Fiat or some

car, it may not be better. It may not fit. It may not mesh and that,

I think, may also be happening with the 2009.

By accumulating and getting mutations or getting this other gene,

more virulent gene, it may not end up as something which is really a

sports car which runs 200 miles an hour, so there is a lot which has

to sort of fit and mesh in order to make a virus really a 1918 or 1957.

Folks, from every which angle, the swine flu pandemic is NOT what its

being made out to be. Perhaps its all about greed and POWER - the

government and corporations controlling what gets into your body and

what goes into their bank accounts; about making a few bucks in a

suffering economy when people cant afford their regular medications

and sales are down.

Perhaps its about saving face. They over-reacted, they hyped it up,

and no one wants to admit they cried wolf especially since billions

of dollars were spent on vaccines that no one really needs.

But, like Gale and Dr. Null said, The lie is too large for them to

not expose themselves if you simply look.

Its true.

Remember, as tragic as any death is, the greater tragedy is using the

few deaths that have occurred -- which were in most cases not

directly caused by the H1N1 virus as fuel to get rid of useless

vaccines that may do more harm than good.

There are signs that the public across the world is starting to get

it, however.

France, for example, has only been able to convince

<http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content & view=article & id=1620%3Al\

percent of their population to get vaccinated. As of November 5, only

50,000 Frenchmen had lined up for the shot since the beginning of

their campaign, out of a population of 65 million. And only 10

percent of health care workers have received the vaccine.

The French Health minister called the mass vaccination campaign timid.

Lets keep it that way, everywhere, for everyones safety.
