What is the Swine Flu?

The swine influenza A (H1N1) virus that has infected humans in theU.S. and Mexico is a novel influenza A virus that has not previouslybeen identified in North America. This virus is resistant to theantiviral medications amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine), but is sensitive to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Investigations of these cases suggest that on-going human-to-human swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is occurring.

What are the symptoms of swine flu?Although uncomplicated influenza-like illness (fever, cough or sore throat) has been reported in many cases, mild respiratory illness (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea) without fever and occasional severe disease also has been reported. Other symptoms reported with swine influenza A virus infection includevomiting,diarrhea, myalgia, headache, chills, fatigue, and dyspnea. Conjunctivitis is rare, but has been reported. Severe disease (pneumonia, respiratory failure) and fatal outcomes have been reported with swine influenza A virus infection. The potential for exacerbation of underlying chronic medical conditions or invasive bacterial infection with swine influenza A virus infection should be considered.

What is the Swine Flu Vaccination?

According to a July 10 Washington Post article,the federal government is considering a mass vaccination campaign thisfall against the H1N1 flu virus. Obama administration officialsannounced this during a “flu summit” at the National Institute ofHealth’s Bethesda, Maryland, campus on July 9. About 500 healthofficials from around the country were in attendance.Approximately 100 million doses of vaccine should be available bymid-October, but another 20 million doses to cover all those deemedmost vulnerable won’t be ready until later in the fall. The federalgovernment has so far spent $1 billion on vaccines and has another $7billion available for purchasing more or implementing othercountermeasures.

The persons considered to be at greatest risk include all children from6 months old to 18 years of age, women who are pregnant, adults withchronic illnesses, and healthcare workers. School-age children would bethe primary target of the program though, and they may receive theirshots at school in large numbers reminiscent of the polio immunizationsof the 1950s.

President Barack Obama spoke at the flu summit via audio link from theGroup of Eight summit in Italy. “We want to make sure that we are notpromoting panic, but we are promoting vigilance and preparation,” hesaid, adding that “the most important thing for us to do is to makesure that state and local officials prepare now to implement avaccination program in the fall.”

Local governments would primarily be in charge of any vaccinationcampaign, but Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebeliussaid that the federal government would provide about $260 million tostates and territories to help them make plans. Another $90 millionwill go to hospitals to help them prepare for a possible increase inthe number of flu patients.

As for the nation’s public school’s being heavily involved invaccinations, Education Secretary Arne Duncan “would absolutelywelcome” the idea. He said that schools are “natural sites” and that“to open our doors and be part of the solution really makes sense.”Thomas R. Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),confirmed that schools would likely remain open and would not be urgedto close unless the virus proves to be much deadlier than it is now. Hetold the summit participants that “our goals at the moment are fairlystraightforward: reduce illness and minimize social disruption.”

These goals are commendable, but individual freedom and parental rightsshould also be kept in mind. Parents should be allowed to decide forthemselves if their children will be immunized, and parents ought to beinformed of any possible side effects or dangers. After all, 25 peopledied as a result of side effects from swine flu vaccinations in 1976.

It is necessary to keep things in perspective. While the CDC has reported 211 deathsrelated to the H1N1 flu so far this year, they are not clearlyreporting how many died because the flu exacerbated an already existingcondition. On the other hand, the CDC reportsthat influenza and pneumonia combined caused 56,326 deaths in 2006,before the H1N1 virus was a factor. Thus far, this new strain ofinfluenza is nowhere near to claiming that many lives.

"SWINE FLU"

MIKE WALLACE: The flu season is upon us. Which type will we worry aboutthis year, and what kind of shots will we be told to take? Remember the swine flu scare of1976? That was the year the U.S. government told us all that swine flu could turn out tobe a killer that could spread across the nation, and Washington decided that every man,woman and child in the nation should get a shot to prevent a nation-wide outbreak, apandemic.

Well 46 million of us obediently took the shot, and now 4,000 Americansare claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a half billion dollars becauseof what happened when they took that shot. By far the greatest number of the claims - twothirds of them are for neurological damage, or even death, allegedly triggered by the flushot.

We pick up the story back in 1976, when the threat posed by the swineflu virus seemed very real indeed.

PRESIDENT GERALD FORD; This virus was the cause of a pandemic in 1918and 1919 that resulted in over half a million deaths in the United States, as well as 20million deaths around the world.

WALLACE: Thus the U.S. government's publicity machine was cranked intoaction to urge all America to protect itself against the swine flu menace. (Excerpt fromTV commercial urging everyone to get a swine flu shot.) One of those who did roll up hersleeve was Judy Roberts. She was perfectly healthy, an active woman, when, in November of1976, she took her shot. Two weeks later, she says, she began to feel a numbness startingup her legs.

JUDY ROBERTS: And I joked about it at that time. I said I'll be numb tothe knees by Friday if this keeps up. By the following week, I was totally paralyzed.

WALLACE: So completely paralyzed, in fact, that they had to operate onher to enable her to breathe. And for six months, Judy Roberts was a quadriplegic. Thediagnosis: A neurological disorder called "Guillian-Barre Syndrome" - GBS forshort. These neurological diseases are little understood. They affect people in differentways.

As you can see in these home movies taken by a friend, Judy Roberts'paralysis confined her mostly to a wheelchair for over a year. But this disease can evenkill. Indeed, there are 300 claims now pending from the families of GBS victims who died,alledgedly as a result of the swine flu shot. In other GBS victims, the crippling effectsdiminish and all but disappear. But for Judy Roberts, progress back to good health hasbeen painful and partial.

Now, I notice that your smile, Judy, is a little bit constricted.

ROBERTS: Yes, it is.

WALLACE: Is it different from what it used to be?

ROBERTS: Very different, I have a – a greatly decreased mobilityin my lips. AndI can't drink through a straw on the right-band side. I can't blow outbirthday candles. I don't whistle any more, for which my husband is grateful.

WALLACE: It may be a little difficult for you to answer this question,but have you recovered as much as you are going to recover?

ROBERTS: Yes. This - this is it.

WALLACE: So you will now have a legacy of braces on your legs for therest of your life?

ROBERTS: Yes. The weakness in my hands will stay and the leg braceswill stay.

WALLACE: So Judy Roberts and her husband have filed a claim against theU.S. government. They're asking $12 million, though they don't expect to get nearly thatmuch. Judy, why did you take the flu shot?

ROBERTS: I'd never taken any other flu shots, but I felt like this wasgoing to be a major epidemic, and the only way to prevent a major epidemic of a - a reallydeadly variety of flu was for every body to be immunized.

WALLACE: Where did this so called "deadly variety of flu",where did it first hit back in 1976? It began right here at Fort Dix in New Jersey inJanuary of that year, when a number of recruits began to complain of respiratory ailments,something like the common cold. An Army doctor here sent samples of their throat culturesto the New Jersey Public Health Lab to find our just what kind of bug was going aroundhere. One of those samples was from a Private David Lewis, who had left his sick bed to goon a forced march. Private Lewis had collapsed on that march, and his sergeant had revivedhim by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But the sergeant showed no signs of illness. A fewdays later, Private Lewis died.

ROBERTS: If this disease is so potentially fatal that it's going tokill a young, healthy man, a middle-aged schoolteacher doesn't have a prayer.

WALLACE: The New Jersey lab identified most of those solders' throatcultures as the normal kind of flu virus going around that year, but they could not makeout what kind of virus was in the culture from the dead soldier, and from four others whowere sick. So they sent those cultures to the Federal Center for Disease Control inAtlanta, Georgia, for further study. A few days later they got the verdict: swine flu. Butthat much-publicized outbreak of swine flu at Fort Dix involved only Private Lewis, whodied, and those four other soldiers, who recovered completely without the swine flu shot.

ROBERTS: If I had known at that time that the boy had been in a sickbed, got up, went out on a forced march and then collapsed and died, I would never havetaken the shot.

DR DAVID SENCER: The rationale for our recommendation was not on thebasis of the death of a - a single individual, but it was on the basis that when we do seea change in the characteristics of the influenza virus, it is a massive public-healthproblem in the country.

WALLACE: Dr David Sencer, then head of the CDS - the Center of DiseaseControl in Atlanta - is now in private industry. He devised the swine flu program and hepushed it.

You began to give flu shots to the American people in October of '76?

DR SENCER: October 1st.

WALLACE: By that time, how many cases of swine flu around the world hadbeen reported?

DR SENCER: There had been several reported, but none confirmed. Therehad been cases in Australia that were reported by the press, by the news media. There werecases in -

WALLACE: None confirmed? Did you ever uncover any other outbreaks ofswine flu anywhere in the world?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: Now, nearly everyone was to receive a shot in a public healthfacility where a doctor might not be present, therefore it was up to the CDC to come upwith some kind of official consent form giving the public all the information it neededabout the swine flu shot. This form stated that the swine flu vaccine had been tested.What it didn't say was that after those tests were completed, the scientists developedanother vaccine and that it was the one given to most of the 46 million who took the shot.That vaccine was called "X-53a". Was X-53a ever field tested?

DR SENCER: I-I can't say. I would have to -

WALLACE: It wasn't

DR SENCER: I don't know

WALLACE: Well, I would think that you're in charge of the program

DR SENCER: 1 would have to check the records. I haven't looked at thisin some time.

WALLACE: The information form the consent form was also supposed towarn people about any risk of serious complications following the shot. But did it?

ROBERTS: No, I had never heard of any reactions other than a sore arm,fever, this sort of thing.

WALLACE: Judy Roberts' husband, Gene, also took the shot.

GENE ROBERTS: Yes, I looked at that document, I signed it. Nothing onthere said I was going to have a heart attack, or I can get Guillain Barre, which I'dnever heard of.

WALLACE: What if people from the government, from the Center forDisease Control, what if they had indeed, known about it, what would be your feeling?

JUDY ROBERTS: They should have told us.

WALLACE: Did anyone ever come to you and say, "You know something,fellows, there's the possibility of neurological damage if you get into a massimmunization program?"

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: No one ever did?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: Do you know Michael Hattwick?

DR SENCER: Yes, uh-hmm.

WALLACE: Dr Michael Hattwick directed the surveillance team for theswine flu program at the CDC. His job was to find out what possible complications couldarise from taking the shot and to report his findings to those in charge. Did you knowahead of time, Dr Hattwick that there had been case reports of neurological disorders,neurological illness, apparently associated with the injection of influenza vaccine?

DR MICHAEL HNITWlCK: Absolutely

WALLACE: You did?

DR HATIWICK: Yes

WALLACE: How did you know that?

DR HATrwICK: By review of the literature.

WALLACE: So you told your superiors - the men in charge of the swineflu immunization program - about the possibility of neurological disorders?

DR RATTWICK: Absolutely

WALLACE: What would you say if I told you that your superiors say thatyou never told them about the possibility of neurological complications?

DR HAJTWICK: That's nonsense. I can't believe that they would say thatthey did not know that there were neurological illnesses associated with influenzavaccination. That simply is not true. We did know that.

DR SENCER: I have said that Dr Hattwick had never told me of hisfeelings on this subject.

WALLACE: Then he's lying?

DR SENCER: I guess you would have to make that assumption.

WALLACE: Then why does this report from your own agency, dated July1976, list neurological complications as a possibility?

DR SENCER: I think the consensus of the scientific community was thatthe evidence relating neurologic disorders to influenza immunization was such that theydid not feel that this association was a real one.

WALLACE: You didn't feel it was necessary to tell the American peoplethat information

DR SENCER: I think that over the - the years we have tried to informthe American people as - as fully as possible.

WALLACE: As part of informing Americans about the swine flu threat, DrSencer's CDC also helped create the advertising to get the public to take the shot. Let meread to your from one of your own agency's memos planning the campaign to urge Americansto take the shot. "The swine flu vaccine has been taken by many importantpersons," he wrote. "Example: President Ford, Henry Kissinger, Elton John,Muhammad Ah, Mary Tyler Moore, Rudolf Nureyev, Walter Cronkite, Ralph Nader, EdwardKennedy" -etcetera, etcetera, True?

DR SENCER: I'm not familiar with that particular piece of paper, but Ido know that, at least of that group, President Ford did take the vaccination.

WALLACE: Did you talk to these people beforehand to find out if theyplanned to take the shot?

DR SENCER: I did not, no.

WALLACE: Did anybody?

DR SENC ER: I do not know.

WALLACE: Did you get permission to use their names in your campaign?

DR SENCER: I do not know.

WALLACE: Mary, did you take a swine flu shot?

MARY TYLER MOORE: No, I did not.

WALLACE: Did you give them permission to use your name saying that youhad or were going to?

MOORE: Absolutely not. Never did.

WALLACE: Did you ask your own doctor about taking the swine flu shot?

MOORE: Yes, and at the time he thought it might be a good idea. But Iresisted it, because I was leery of having the symptoms that sometimes go with that kindof inoculation.

WALLACE: So you didn't?

MOORE: No, I didn't.

WALLACE: Have you spoken to your doctor since?

MOORE: Yes.

WALLACE: And?

MOORE: He's delighted that I didn't take that shot.

WALLACE: You're in charge. Somebody's in charge.

DR SENCER: There are -

WALLACE: This is your advertising strategy that I have a copy of here.

DR SENCER: Who's it signed by?

WALLACE: This one is unsigned. But you--you'll acknowledge that it was your baby so tospeak?

DR SENCER: It could have been from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Itcould be from CDC. I don't know. I'll be happy to take responsibility for it.

WALLACE: It's been three years now since you fell ill by GBS right?

ROBERTS: Right.

WALLACE: Has the federal government, in your estimation, played fair with you aboutyour claim?

ROBERTS: No, I don't think so. It seems to be dragging on and on and on, and really noend in sight that I can see at this point.

JOSEPH CALIFANO: With respect to the cases of Guillain Barre...

WALLACE: Former Secretary of HEW Joseph Caifano, too was disturbed that there was noend in sight. So a year and a half ago, he proposed that Uncle Sam would cut thebureaucratic red tape for victims suffering from GBS and would pay up quickly.

CALIFANO: We shouldn't hold them to an impossible or too difficult standard of provingthat they were hurt. Even if we pay a few people a few thousand dollars that might nothave deserved it, I think justice requires that we promptly pay those people who dodeserve it.

WALLACE: Who's making the decision to be so hard-nosed about settling?

CALIFANO: Well, I assume the Justice Department is.

WALLACE: Griffin Bell, before he left?

CALIFANO: Well, the Justice Department agreed to the statement I made. It was clearedword for word with the lawyers in the Justice Department by my HEW lawyers.

CALIFANO: That-that statement said that we should pay Guillain Barre claims withoutregard to whether the federal government was negligent, if they - if they resulted fromthe swine flu shot.

GENE ROBERTS: I think the government knows its wrong.

JUDY ROBERTS: If it drags out long enough, that people will just give up, let it go.

GENE ROBERTS: I—I am a little more adament in my thoughts than my wife is, becauseI asked - told Judy to take the shot. She wasn't going to take it, and she never had hadshots. And I'm mad with my government because they knew the fact, but they didn't realisethose facts because they - if they had released them, the people wouldn't have taken it.And they can come out tomorrow and tell me there's going to be an epidemic, and they candrop off like flies to - next to me, I will not take another shot that my government tellsme to take.

WALLACE: Meantime, Judy Roberts and some 4,000 others like her are still waiting fortheir day in court.

12,000 U.S. Children To Be Swine Flu Vaccine Guinea Pigs

Around 12,000 U.S. children will be used as guinea pigs for an experimental swine flu vaccine known to contain the dangerous ingredient squalene, which has been directly linked with cases of Gulf War Syndrome and a host of other debilitating diseases.

According to a report in the Oklahoman, 12,000 children nationwide will partake in "fast-tracked studies" to test the side-effects of the untested swine flu vaccine in trials set to begin next month.

"The trials will test the vaccine’s effectiveness and whether or not it has negative side effects in patients," states the report.

Since less than 100 children in the U.S. die from regular seasonal flu each year, a reasonable estimate would be that around 100 children will die from swine flu over the course of the next year.

So in effect, the authorities will vaccinate millions of children in order to try and prevent 100 deaths. If the mass vaccination program mirrors the previous swine flu outbreak of 1976 then the vaccine is likely to kill more people than the actual virus.

Furthermore, since the swine flu vaccine includes squalene, a dangerous adjuvant that contributed to Gulf War Syndrome cases, there's little doubt that it will lead to debilitating lifelong diseases far more deadly than the swine flu virus itself for thousands of children if a mass vaccination campaign is conducted.

According to Meryl Nass, M.D., “A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities.”

"Research shows that squalene is the experimental anthrax vaccine ingredient that caused devastating autoimmune diseases and deaths for many Gulf War veterans from the US, UK, and Australia, yet it continues in use today and for new vaccines development in labs," writes Stephen Lendman.

According to award-winning investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto, there's a "close match between the squalene-induced diseases in animals and those observed in humans injected with this oil: rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus."

"There are now data in more than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers, from ten different laboratories in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, documenting that squalene-based adjuvants can induce autoimmune diseases in animals...observed in mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Sweden's Karolinska Institute has demonstrated that squalene alone can induce the animal version of rheumatoid arthritis. The Polish Academy of Sciences has shown that in animals, squalene alone can produce catastrophic injury to the nervous system and the brain. The University of Florida Medical School has shown that in animals, squalene alone can induce production of antibodies specifically associated with systemic lupus erythematosus," writes Matsumoto.

Micropaleontologist Dr. Viera Scheibner, who conducted research into the adverse effects of adjuvants in vaccines, wrote the following about squalene.

Squalene "contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War syndrome. (GIs developed) arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjorgren's syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever."

Efforts on behalf of authorities to prepare the public for a mass vaccination campaign, which could even be made mandatory if the crisis escalates, have been intensifying in recent weeks. And yet, as Richard Halvorsen, a Central London GP and medical director of BabyJabs, a children’s immunisation service, writes in the London Times this week, all indications are that the swine flu vaccine will have the least effect in those most at risk from swine flu - children, the elderly and people with underlying health problems.

In his article, Mass flu vaccination would be madness, Halvorsen writes, "Is all this really necessary? To start with, swine flu is far milder than we first feared, so the case for vaccinating millions of healthy adults against a disease that is no more unpleasant than a bad cold is questionable," adding, "There is no good evidence that the vaccine helps those with chronic health problems or pregnant women. However, we do know that the immunisation offers no more than a modest benefit in the elderly; indeed, the effectiveness of the vaccine is known to decrease sharply after 70 years of age."

"We have experience of mass vaccination against swine flu from which lessons should be learnt. In America in 1976 a vaccine was offered to the whole population to prevent the spread of an epidemic of swine flu. Millions were rapidly immunised, but the vaccination campaign was stopped after a rise in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) among recipients of the vaccine. GBS is an autoimmune disorder that causes paralysis of the arms or legs or, rarely, the whole body; the sufferer usually makes a complete recovery, but some suffer permanent paralysis and a few die. Research later estimated that there was one case of GBS caused by every 100,000 swine flu vaccines given. If the current vaccine caused a similar rate of cases, then we could expect hundreds of people to get GBS, some of whom will suffer permanent paralysis or die."

Given that the vaccine contains an ingredient directly linked with a plethora of horrific diseases, will you take measures to protect your child from a mass vaccination program?

What if the government decrees a mandatory vaccination program and tries to enforce it at gunpoint, as health authorities have already indicated could happen?

With increasing public awareness of the dangers of vaccines, allied with the bizarre eugenics policies embraced by people like John Holdren, Obama's top science advisor, it seems inevitable that millions will refuse to comply with a mass vaccination program even if the government attempts to implement it by force.

Why The Swine Flu VACCINE May Be More Dangerous Than the VIRUS

As the American government gears up to turn schools into vaccinationclinics, many readers have asked me to talk about the H1N1 shot.

In an upcoming blog post I’ll share some specific advice on how youand your children can avoid the “mandatory” injection. Today, I wantedto explain why I think the H1N1 vaccine is a hundred times more dangerous than the virus.

If you’re a regular reader, you are more than familiar with my disapproval of mass vaccination programs (see “Never Cry PIG!”). While I’m normally against vaccines, I’m doubly against the new H1N1 inoculation.

Insufficient TestingThe manufacturers (I refuse to call them scientists) produced thisvaccine way too quickly under pretext of an “international emergency.”(The virus has hardly proven itself more dangerous than the common flu– I consider the “emergency” purely hypothetical hysteria.)

Because of this rushed production, no proper, long-term testing hasbeen done on this new vaccine. Severe side-effects usually take weeksor months to appear. Do you want to volunteer as a guinea pig?

Not only may the vaccine do much harm – there’s no evidence it willdo any good. Again, no one has had a chance to test it. And as themedia likes to remind us the swine flu is scheduled to mutate in theautumn – rendering any vaccine formula created for the swine flu 1.0absolutely useless.

Britain’s Trial BalloonIn the UK, the swine flu vaccine has been rushed through safety checks according to a London Times article. In the comments section is overwhelming against getting the jab.

So Why Are They Doing This?H1N1’s “threat to humanity” comes solely through amedia-sensationalized THEORY. Hardly seems enough to warrant full scalevaccination.

(NOTE)

More information on this Vaccination will be posted as soon as it is found. I can say that I will not and my children will not pertispiate in this vaccination, it could kill you.
