    Inject a live flu virus suspended in a mercurary solution into my body? Have you lost your mind?

    Riley

    Dear David and Friends,
    There's something more sinister than adding mercury, squalene, formaldehyde, or other toxic substances to the vaccine mix. How about human DNA?

    Swine flu vaccine is most definately available in Australia,each time I go to the doctors(once a week) they persist in giving me a leaflet urging me to get injected, even after I made it very very clear what I thought the vaccine was,and what they could do with it.Cheers John Leigh.

    jen

    yes, the hep b shots will be a tough sell up here (Canada). They are introducing it now in B.C.(infantarix?) but it doesn't pass the common sense test. For me, the addition of chicken pox vaccine completely tipped me to not believing "them."
    I wonder how the Canadian public will fare with being given the adjuvanted shot for h1n1 now. I can't believe we went for that. Really disappointing. I don't wish ill on anyone but I hope surveillance of any problems is fair and swift. By all accounts the line ups at the malls for the adjuvanted h1n1 seems very high so far. A few child deaths have no doubt motivated this.

    In regard to Jack's comment on the Australian newspapers, there was a small article on P.14 of "The Daily Telegraph" on October 27, 2009. see www.dailytelegraph.com.au. "Swine flu's impact on hospitals is starting to emerge with pateient data showing that 'acute respiratory illness' cases almost doubled over winter. People in need of hospital treatment for flu-like illness in the three months to August jumped to 2378 cases across 35 hospitals in northern NSW this year. The figure was up from 1267 cases last year and 1736 cases in 2007, across the Hunter New England Area Health Service. Cases peaked in July this year, a month earlier than they did in last year's mild ordinary flu season." Anyway, if it was a major increase, etc, then it would be on the front page (unless, of course, it coincided with Melbourne Cup Day :) ).

    jen, Thanks for your comment and that you decided against Hep B vaccination for your son.

    The three (3) Hep B shots starting on the day of birth to American babies should be nominated, and win, the Josef Mengele Medical Experiment Prize every year.

    It is so awful and so dangerous; an outrageous onslaught by the medical society in the U.S. that has allowed this to happen.

    The Hep B vaccination series, by itself, shows the dogmatic attitude of a medical system gone mad.

    Excellent article David!

    The Canadian data seems to indicate that inviting LIVE H1N1 VIRUS into your nose increases your chance of getting H1N1 FLU?

    I suppose that could be filed under Duh. Thankfully, the Canadians tested for H1N1 so they have data that says 1 + 1 = 2.

    However, tTe USA is not testing for H1N1, so the causation issue here will be clouded.

    Deborah

    Even Dr. Oz won't give the vaccine to his kids. Check out the 5:03 mark.

    I live in Texas where the H1N1 is supposed to have already hit. I haven't seen anyone complain about being sick. There are some runny noses, and some parents taking their kids to get tested every time their kids get a runny nose, so we do have panic going on. This year is pretty mild in illness complaints as compared to other years.

    I keep thinking that vaccines are the "Mark of the Beast" that is talked about in the Book of Revelation. Soon, if we don't have "the mark" we won't be able to work or go to school or shop.....call me crazy but the world feels pretty crazy right about now!!
    (For those other Aspies out there....this is meant to be satirical in nature).

    david burd

    Shwartz, Thank you for the Canada media links. Let's take a look at the Great Depression.

    I've read a bit about it, and heard directly from my parents and grandparents, yet 'epidemic disease' was non-existent, and without vaccines yet to be invented.

    If the influenza virus was THAT dangerous, mortality would have skyrocketed in the 1930's. But, no hint of this

    ED

    I'm in agreement with the skepticism about effectiveness being over-sold and side effects (or adverse effects) being under-played.

    One thing I haven't seen stated often if at all, among folks I share these criticisms with, is this:

    Politicians are between a rock and a hard place in that they are afraid that IF there turns out to be a huge outbreak then they will be lynched by the public opinion, and by the media, and by their political opponents. The opportinistic opponents (of all parties and backgrounds) will suggest the government was 'asleep' etc no matter what the evidence was (that the vaccine might not have helped anyway, etc). Same thing with health officials.

    Sisters and brothers: it does NO GOOD to just wring our hands and just say "well, the politicians should be above that..."..do we want to SUCCEED? Do we? If we really want to succeed (rather than just pat ourselves on the back and feel good for condemning politicians and health officials)? If so, we have to at least TRY to reduce this "danger of being politically destroyed or career-destroyed" ...this can be a win-win if we have educate-the-public alliances that both advance the truth, and also give some "cover" to health professionals and politicians, some breathing space for them to give more accurate rather than over-simplified "Everyone should take the vacc" messages.

    Schwartz

    David,

    An article outlining the provincial agencies and their approach to the data:

    Article outlining details known about the study: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/what-do-we-know-about-the-research/article1307780/

    jen

    Schwarz, thanks for that interesting link. My God, the tricks that they can play yet they dare to be all righteous about any study that would question vacccine efficacy/safety.
    Julie, I for one do find this plandemic flu a bit scary. I had a serious case of pneumonia this past spring (for all I know it could have been H1N1) and 3 of us in our household were very ill. Some young kids have died recently. It REALLY pisses me off that as a consumer, I can no more trust what they say about this vaccine than fly to the moon. I have elected not to vaccinate against hep b, and many of the other recommended shots for my son and am not a vaccine-happy person. It really fries my ass, though, that when and if I do think protection might be a good idea, I cannot trust the pharmaceutical companies to come up with a safe, well-researched product/vaccine.

    Ever since President Obama (Senator at the time) made the statement to the effect that he did not believe in choice on vaccination, and on learning that their daughter has asthma or immune issues, I’ve wondered if the Obamas know that vaccine ingredients are one cause of asthma.

    I learned of George W. Bush’s statement to the effect that thimerosal should be removed from vaccines years after it was made and wondered why everything the Bush administration seemed to have done on this issue only propped up its continued use, and then… it was very disillusioning to watch Bush get on a press conference platform with Gerberding and essentially announce that he had just gotten his flu shot (I wondered if his version contained 25 mcg Hg), we should too, and because of the impending potential for a global pandemic (the bird flu) and because so “few” drug companies were willing to make vaccinations because of “frivolous” lawsuits, we needed new, stronger legislation (the “plan-demic” laws we are beginning to see used now). Meanwhile, parents were simultaneously demonstrating nearby at the AAP convention for the removal of Hg from vaccines among other things, because the most vaccinated group of children on the face of the earth is already suffering damage in epidemic proportions, but that was hardly even a blip on the media screen, and big pHarma got what they wanted. This was not just propping, this was more like two branches of our government acting like industry pawns.

    If the health of the candidates’ children in this past presidential election wasn’t an indicator of the need for significant environmental change…

    But now it looks like we have more of the same not just propping-up, but carrying-out of huge industrial agendas…are they going to announce the 1998 birth cohort count of autism diagnoses during the next “plan-demic” a couple of years down the line, when they hope most people are too busy panicking to notice that we are already living with a pandemic/epidemic/man-made disaster, or will the over-blown staging of all this make some people stop and think that maybe they aren’t getting the straight story when other “official” statements about vaccination are made?

    Benedetta

    Yes, I too heard that Obama's kids were not going to be vaccinated.

    But it was put in a nice slant, that they were getting in line and waiting till enough was made like every one else..

    I don't know, maybe they are.

    It seems like we have to really hurt our kids before we believe we really did hurt them with vaccines.

    david burd

    Anonymous with his sarcasm puts great faith in the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), and their site on what they say are the Myths of Vaccinations.

    Of course, PHAC will say exactly what our CDC and NIAID say: they are two peas in a pod, and endorse without question all the U.S. vaccines.

    You always have to go to the source to get perspective on a person's or agency's agenda.

    For those wanting to follow the Canadian story of most of their Provinces currently suspending flu vaccinations, just google: "helen branswell canadian press skowronski de serres flu vaccination" or an abbreviated combination of the these keywords.

    What's so terrible about CDC and NIH/NIAID is they are so arrogant they refuse to care about, or acknowledge, the success elsewhere in the world, and just next door in Canada.

    I contend this is because they would also be forced to confront their own incompetence and dogmatic, dishonest, political-motivated techniques such as literally fabricating the Swine Flu "epidemic" here in the U.S.

    Amazing... I guess I must have gone to the wrong Canadian Government website. Maybe the news casts are more accurate than what is posted on the Canadian Government website.
    Maybe I should have gone here first.
