From the Editor: Making waves

David Kirby's next book, "Death at Sea World," isn't out till July but already there are two petitions against it. You know, don't buy it, don't read it, don't believe it. Kinda familiar, eh?

IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE!

Chiffon_mothernature2By Harry Hofherr

A few years ago there was a series of commercials for a brand of margarine. The point of the vignettes was that a brew of synthetic chemicals whipped up in an industrial laboratory, with a long list of unpronounceable words with eighteen vowels and poly moly wolly attachments to them could fool Mother Nature into thinking this chemistry experiment was her very own natural butter. Of course she got pissed off when the ruse was uncovered and raised the rain and clouds and announced thunderously, "IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE". 

Around that time, Modern Medicine was getting a shot in the arm as the federal government began pumping billions of dollars into healthcare through Medicare, Medicaid, and my personal favorite, the Veterans Administration.

When asked why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton replied, "Because that's where the money is". Like Willie, large corporations headed for the medical industry because that's where the money was.

Today, Modern Medicine hauls in billions of taxpayer dollars every year as profit. This is what they call the free market. Of course, it took a lot of work to be free. First they had to buy enough members of congress and the senate in order to pass the laws that gave them all this free money. When that became too expensive, politicians being what they are, Modern Medicine went and bought the government agencies that distribute the free money. 

Next, Modern Medicine told their members in the agencies to make people do what the companies wanted. They had products to sell and they wanted to sell a lot of them. The easiest way to sell a product is to force people to buy it. The next easiest way to make people buy your products is to scare them into doing it.   

(This is where the "free" part gets a little fuzzy. Forcing and scaring seems to imply something significantly different than free. But hey, that's just me.)

Vaccines are one sure-fire product that was easy. They're really not all that difficult to manufacture once you get the production line set up and tuned in. I've heard some people describe vaccine production as "cookbook chemistry". Of course a lot of manufacturing these days is cookbook chemistry. Take a few hundred cups of this and a few hundred gallons of that and a pinch of this and a dash of that and put it all in a big pot and heat it up and stir it a few times then put it into a bottle and ship it off to Wal-Mart. Just make sure you've got your papers in order for the regulatory audit.

Selling vaccines is even easier. The bought and paid for agencies told the states and the states told the counties and the counties told the schools and the schools told the parents that "ALL KIDS MUST GET THEIR SHOTS". (Unless you want a religious or philosophical exemption in which case we'll give you a pass but don't tell anyone else. Okay?) 

It's called, return on investment. They teach it in business 101. 

Vaccines are a no lose deal. It's mandated sales volume.  It can't get any sweeter than that for a manufacturer, plus, new parents are frightened to death of their children getting some terrifying disease. Pediatricians feed this fear. "I've got just the thing to calm your nerves, a vaccine for your baby to stop all the fatal/deadly diseases." Force and fear became the marketing campaign. Brilliant. 

Today Modern Medicine has mandated almost 40 vaccines for new babies, but due to the free market of ideas, including real doctors on the Internet; new parents are even more scared than they were before. 

Now parents are asking, "What if vaccines really do cause autism?" I think truth in advertising should be applied here. The man with the sincere matter-of-fact authoritative voice in the Modern Medicine commercials should say "Neurological damage is a rare but serious side effect of vaccines, so ask your doctor if autism is right for you and your child".

FYI: My son got a lot of vaccines to prevent him catching all those nasty childhood diseases I managed to survive and instead, he caught autism. Nice catch, huh?

So what's with all these vaccines anyway? What's the motivation here? Is Modern Medicine being altruistic and trying to save humanity? Are they hoping to eliminate disease? Are they only in it for the money? 

If I read all those books I never wanted to read correctly, the fundamental job of vaccines is to fool the human body into initiating an immune response to an assault from a brew of synthetic chemicals whipped up in an industrial laboratory, with a long list of unpronounceable words with eighteen vowels and poly moly wolly attachments to them. This is supposed to provide immunity, but only for a little while, because Modern Medicine requires repeat business in order to maintain production so parents bring in the baby for another shot in a few months and again in a few more months. Unfortunately people are different. We don't always act and react the same to shots, and neither do our bodies. I would have hoped somebody had taught that in med school. 

Instead, Modern Medicine uses the same vaccines on everybody because cookbook chemistry production requires uniformity in order to reduce costs. You make large lots of a product in order to reduce costs. You package ten or more injections in one bottle to reduce packaging costs, and to reduce shipping and warehousing costs. You reduce costs in order to maximize profits. Saving humanity is a profitable business. In spite of the lawyers.

We now know that some bodies can't handle the elegant dash of this and the skosh of that, and the pinch of foo foo dust that is put in vaccines. Sometimes that stuff is just too damn toxic for a human body to assimilate, let alone a fetus or an infant. It's even harder to handle when the shots keep coming. 

I read where some of the potentially fatal/deadly diseases millions of us survived as kids are just about gone. They've almost been wiped off the planet. I'm pretty sure I also read that some scientists now believe it's not always a good thing to destroy all the bugs? Something about biodiversity and building up our natural defenses? What does Modern Medicine have against Mother Nature? 

Somewhere along the line I heard that nature abhors a vacuum. So I'm guessing that maybe in their zeal to kill all the natural bugs, Modern Medicine created a bit of a vacuum, and nature might have stepped in with some new  chemical bugs, like autism, asthma, ADHD, Tics, flaps, and a couple they're still working out the names for. 

I also understand that while the number of natural diseases has been dropping like a rock the numbers of chemically induced neurological disorders are skyrocketing. 

Maybe we can epidemiologize those numbers.

So, to recap our discussion, Modern Medicine wanted to save humanity and they make one vaccine for everybody and since we're all not everybody, some of us got sicker. Then they added a lot more vaccines for everybody, and a lot more bodies got sicker. I think this saving humanity thing still has a few bugs to work out of the system. Let's get an R&D team on that right away. 

Let's move on. Next slide, please.

As you can see, the campaign to wipe out natural childhood diseases isn't going very well either. It's looking like Modern Medicine probably replaced some of the natural diseases with a rash of new chemically induced diseases. That's a terrible trade. It's worse than Johan Santana to the Mets, for a bunch of no bodies. Let's get marketing on this one. Don't they have some studies we can catch and release to make this go away?

Alright, all jokes aside. Come on. What were you guys really thinking? 

Did you really, really think you were so freaking smart that you could write some laws and force parents to vaccinate their babies with more and more chemicals and expect to walk away with billions and billions of tax dollars and buy second homes in the Caribbean and third homes in Aspen simply by pulling the wool over Mother Nature's eyes with your chemistry experiments? 

Didn't your mother ever teach you, "IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE"?

You want to help your son.....READ the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome GAPS Gaps.me Find a gaps practitioner....It may not reverse completely at age 11, but may improve his life and heal him somewhat. The earlier these things are taken care of the better chance of reversing. Best of luck!

Great post. It is amazing to me how those involved in the legal drug industry get away with painting themselves as humanitarians trying to help people instead of business people trying to make more and more profit.

Thanks, Harry, for that great overview.

I would like to add, however, that not only is it not nice to fool Mother Nature, as the title of one of my columns stated, "It's Not EASY To Fool Mother Nature" (See "Scandals: Playing With Fire - It's Not EASY To Fool Mother Nature at http://www.vaccinationnews.com/Scandals/June_7_02/Scandal_19.htm) Sadly, I believe our arrogance and lack of respect for nature is getting the best of us.

Some of you may interested in a number of columns I wrote which are relevant to this discussion:

Harry - BRILLIANT!!!!

And from one 'insider' to another (I've been on the regulatory side of the medical industry for oh, almost 15 years now), you captured 'how the game is played' very well.

Couple of additional points:
In addition to Momma Nature 'having her revenge' by the emergence of chemically induced diseases/disorders, let's not forget that 'she's having some fun' with the stuff that Modern Medicine has been trying to erase too. Think 'super bugs' (all those lovely critters that have mutated and mutated and mutated due to overuse of antibiotics and are now resistant to pretty much anything you can think of), and think 'delayed onset of, relatively benign, childhood diseases such as chicken pox and rubella' (instead of getting these diseases at a young age, where, while no fun, kids get through them with relatively little issues, acquiring life long IMMUNITY in the process, anecdotal evidence is coming out that varicella and rubella now strike the 10+ age crowd.. with a heck of a lot more complications).

Yes indeed, it's not nice to fool Momma Nature, and boy, does she get nasty when she gets ticked off.
