Why
This Doctor Questions Flu Vaccination (OMNS,
November 1, 2009) 2009 may be the year of the vaccine show-down, the moment when
enough of us start questioning all we're being told about vaccines. A survey
published in the BMJ in August ( http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/339/aug25_2/b3391
) reported that less than half of healthcare workers in Hong Kong were willing
to accept "pre-pandemic" flu vaccination. And that was before a letter
from the Health Protection Agency to 600 United Kingdom neurologists on July
29th warning them to be on the alert for an increase in cases of Guillain-Barre
syndrome following the vaccination campaign. If
nurses and doctors start questioning vaccination for themselves, sooner or later
we'll have to advise patients to make their own minds up. They seem to be doing
so anyway. A poll by Fox News ( http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/08/26/think-greater-risk/
) , often described as a right-wing channel, found that 51% thought taking the
H1N1 vaccine carried a greater risk than not being vaccinated. Yet
both in the USA and the UK, this year's swine flu vaccine will be rolled out
without adequate safety testing. What's going on? Two things: profits and power. Profits Global
sales of vaccines were worth $24 billion in 2008, up 30% on the previous year,
and greatly exceeding predictions from only 2 years before. ( http://knol.google.com/k/krishan-maggon/global-vaccine-market-review-2008-world/
) Just in time for the manufacturers, as sales of "old-fashioned"
pharmaceuticals are generally approaching saturation. Power Vaccination
is a good example of this; a technology that governments seek to impose on us,
ostensibly to prevent a harm such as death and damage from measles. Take measles
as an example; what is the real risk from it? Nobody really knows. All the
recent evidence comes from developing countries with serious nutritional
problems; one death in a million cases of measles, perhaps. What is the risk of
developing autism if you get all or most of the long list of vaccinations for
children? It's 1 in 64 in the five-to-nine year olds now, according to Professor
Baron-Cohen, Director of the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge. That means
there are over 55,000 autistic children in that age group now, and 55,000
families stressed, heartbroken, even destroyed by it. Add the older kids still
hobbled by autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and the younger ones yet to be
diagnosed, and you get at least 100,000 children in the UK. Most swine flu
vaccine contains thiomersal. That's the preservative, nearly 50% of it mercury,
that is probably a major cause of autism. A
proper risk analysis would identify the risk of autism as the greater likely
cost, both human cost to the individual and financial to the state. Fair
discussion of risk is prevented by management of the information flow. There is
no mainstream news medium left on which you can rely for accuracy and balance. A
recent paper in the New England Journal of Medicine ( http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/361/3/279
) reported that the swine flu virus that caused the outbreak in 1977 "was
probably an accidental release from a laboratory source." During that
outbreak, the USA launched a mass vaccination campaign, but this led to at least
25 deaths and 500 cases of Guillian-Barre syndrome. There were thousands of
injury claims. This time around, to protect their profits, the manufacturers
clearly needed immunity from prosecution, which has now been granted to them by
the US and UK governments. The
Real Solution There
are dozens of official websites out there offering conventional advice on how to
protect yourself from swine flu: stay away from other people, wear a mask, get
vaccinated, take Tamiflu, and so on. But the real solution, the one they
aren't telling you about, is nutritional. There is plenty of evidence for
nutritional intake making a difference - to your risk of developing flu
symptoms, to your risk of complications, and to your time for recovery. The
simple message is to consider taking the following (all doses approximate, and
no danger from any of it):
This
is what I am doing, and what I advise my patients. See
your doctor and talk this over. Read the small print of course, and take other
supplements if your body tells you it needs them. As for vaccination? That is,
or at least should be, your decision. References: (1)

Gardasil - the Cervical Cancer Vaccine? How effective is Gardasil in decreasing the incidence of cervical cancer? 100%? 50%? No one really knows because this question has not yet been answered. As of today, the Gardasil vaccine has never been proven to decrease the actual incidence of cervical cancer. In the studies that led to the vaccine's approval, the incidence of cervical cancer was not measured. Instead CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) 2/3 and AIS (adenocarcinoma in situ) were used as the surrogate markers for prevention of cervical cancer because according to the vaccine's insert "CIN 2/3 and AIS are the immediate and necessary precursors of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, respectively." While this is true it is also true that CIN 2/3 and AIS usually do not lead to cancer. For example, according to published data, CIN2 only leads to invasive carcinoma 5% of the time and CIN3 only leads to invasive carcinoma 12% of the time
