Letter sent to 14 November, Illawarra Mercury - Censorship in the media, unpublished letter!

Letter to the Editor,

On 2nd November, the Illawarra Mercury reported ‘Controversial UOW professor awarded Emeritus Professorship’. The article throws a shadow over Professor Brian Martin because of his supervisory role, for a PhD student, that questioned government policies about vaccinations. Professor Martin, is an Australian with dignity, who is dedicated to academic integrity and freedom of speech. So why accuse the Professor of being controversial? The most plausible reason for this, is that the stakeholders, who push vaccines to make their fortunes, may be at risk of being undermined. Our Prime Minister, Malcom Turnbull, has a vested interest in vaccinations policies. Furthermore, the Murdock newspaper is responsible for coining the catch phrase ‘No Jab, No Play and No Pay’. It is no coincidence, that the Murdoch’s have had connections with the pharmaceutical industry, in particular GlaxoSmithKline, helping to support and push the current vaccination mandate in this country. Australia needs balance in reporting news and information because science is not clear cut, when it comes to vaccination success. We never hear about the failures. Dr Judy Wilyman’s thesis on the ‘Australian Government’s rationale for its Vaccination Policy’, has been correctly supported and defended by UOW. because it sees that ‘freedom of thought and expression’ has its ethos. In 2007, Dr Wilyman completed her Master of Science at UOW, an analysis of the Federal Government’s Pertussis Immunisation Policy. The document, read clearly that there were some extremely concerning revelations. For example, that increasing vaccination rates between 85 to 90 percent in the early 1990’s for Pertussis, had actually interfered with the natural cyclic decline of the disease, causing an increase in notifications and virulence of the disease. That in hindsight, the government should have investigated the effectiveness and need for it, before mandating pertussis vaccinations any further. Australia has become so belligerent about free speech, opposing independent thinking, promoting and advertising popular belief through the media as the truth. This is particularly so for vaccination. In reality, the truth is painfully clear, just as Julian Assange ‘Wikileaks founder’ revealed truths about government corruptions and internet censorship. The only difference, is that people now have been financially and forcibly persuaded to accept vaccinations as ‘life saving’. Regrettably, very few people have been as brave as Dr Wilyman, to question and provide evidence, that we are being told lies about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Unpublished Letter sent to Illawarra Mercury 20/1/2016 Re - 'Petition Opposes Vaccine Thesis' 18/1/2016 by Glen Humphries. http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/3668397/travesty-petition-against-uow-anti-vaccine-thesis/

Ethically, news reporting should be unbiased but every time there is something about vaccines in your newspapers it is 95 % pro, very little about the cons. The truth is that there is also an online petition on change.org to ban the recently introduced adult vaccine register that will be used to push more adult vaccinations, which has over 13,000 signatures. Judy Wilyman recently completed her PhD thesis of the Australian Government’s rationale for its Vaccination Policy, which has been correctly supported and defended by UOW because it sees that ‘freedom of thought and expression’ has its ethos. In 2007, Ms Wilyman completed her Master of Science at UOW, an analysis of the Federal Government’s Pertussis Immunisation Policy. I read the document, clearly there were some extremely concerning revelations in her report that the government should have looked into before mandating this pertussis vaccinations any further. Firstly, the disease was removed from the notifiable diseases list in 1950; this is before the introduction of a vaccine in 1954. Then, by 1991 it became a notifiable disease again with immunisation rates at 85%-90%. Secondly, deaths from Pertussis by Decades from 1956 - 1965 show a decline mid through the decade a vaccination program started for the disease to disguise the fact that for decades previously the incidents of Pertussis was naturally declining without vaccinations.

There is also more to say that increasing vaccinations with boosters for young and old is interfering with the natural cyclic years of the disease and as a result we are getting more notifications. Furthermore, the problem caused by vaccinations is controlling the virulence of the disease, making strains in the laboratory to cover the disease is very much a hit and miss process.

Social Services Bill No Jab, No Pay report now available online, as predicted, NO wins for objectors. In fact, Government is still keen to improve vaccination rates higher than the current 95%, only now they are investigating the merits for a national compensation scheme. Note: they have been very careful not to say vaccine injury. Humans are indeed stupid! Remembrance Day 11/11/2015.

“…if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.” (1984, George Orwell)

“THE internet is stuffed with garbage. Anti-vaccination websites make the front page of Google, and fact-free ‘news’ stories spread like wildfire. Google has devised a fix – rank websites according to their truthfulness.”

Dr. Marcia Angell. For 20 years, she was an editor at The New England Journal of Medicine.

On January 15, 2009, the New York Review of Books published her stunning statement:

It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

NO REPLY FROM ILLAWARRA MERCURY RE: NO JAB, NO PAY, NO WAY! Public submissions for a Senate Inquiry and Report by 16 October, 2015. http://www.southcoastregister.com.au/story/3409654/letters-to-the-editor/

The No Jab, No Pay campaign and legislation by the Liberal Government has had the full support and coverage by the media, including backing from the labor party and pro-vaccine advocates. However, there are opponents to the policy, and the media has unjustly declined to report concerns by parents and pro-choice groups, or cover protest rallies nationwide by concerned parents to this legislation. These rallies were held on the 21st June and 20th September in capital cities, in all states, with parents demanding options without financial penalties from the government, including some families that still want to vaccinate for some diseases and not others. The government with the support of the media has had a total disdain for a small number of families in our population who choose not to vaccinate, whether on conscientious or religious grounds, casting them off as hippies and trouble makers. My husband and I, and other parents out there have legitimate concerns about any vaccine given to our children that has questionable safety and epidemiological studies done. Almost two decades since the ‘Seven Point Plan to Immunise Australians’ initiated in 1997, the incidents of autism, autoimmune diseases and neurological disorders have increased dramatically. Furthermore, a new timely implementation of an adolescent and adult vaccination register starting 1 January 2016, tracking vaccinations from birth to death. Concerning will be the interpreting of data from the new registers, which will no doubt be used to push for more adolescent and adult vaccinations, possibly used for further mandating of vaccinations, as is the currently with health workers. The truth is that vaccinations rates are very high and are over 95 percent for children under 7 years of age. Despite high rates of vaccinations, diseases like whooping cough are now epidemic, so the government has recently given support for the reintroduction the whooping cough vaccine at 18 months (October 2015), which is only available as part of the triple antigen vaccine DTaP. However, statistics will again be incorrectly be misconstrued to interpret that our population is not vaccinated (statistics not aligned for changes in NIPs) and the media will be given this data by the government (Health Department) to falsely blame objectors of mandatory vaccinations for out breaks, caused by vaccines. Medical journals researching vaccines will often state this phenomenon as sero-group replacement, for example, with the whooping cough (Bordetella pertussis bacterium), the strains in the vaccine which is supposed to protect you gets stronger by changing, and or developing new strains that are not covered by the vaccines causing further outbreaks! The public have until the 16 October to object to the mandating of vaccinations through welfare, ‘No Jab, No Pay’ Bill 2015 to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee for inquiry and report, by lodging submissions to community.affairs.sen@aph.gov.au

Letter to the Editor, 5/10/2015 (Not published)

Our freedom of choice in health care is in serious jeopardy, if ‘No Jab, No Pay’ Bill 2015 is not fought viciously. We have greater health issues such as diabetes, asthma, cancer that warrant far more attention than these diseases that were once considered trivial and actually desirable to catch as a childhood illness. The government has actually achieved over 90% coverage with vaccines for targeted groups, so why is a minority group who display a genuine care and concern for their children being punished for raising legitimate concerns about vaccines. In some cases their children have been damaged or have died from vaccines, but have had these claims dismissed. Finally, not all these families who want freedom of health care regarding vaccines live in wealthy suburbs. Hence, a momentary link to vaccination for childcare and family tax benefits will force these families to make choices based on a financial position, rather than an educated one. Foremost, these arguments for freedom of choice are supported by the governments’ own criteria because it is not a valid consent to vaccinate if it is enforced by undue pressure, cohesion or manipulation. Submissions against this ‘No Jab, No Pay’ Bill 2015 (Inquiry and Report by 16 October) can be emailed to community.affairs.sen@aph.gov.au

Letters to the Editor, Illawarra Mercury (Published)

No Jab, No Play, No Jab No Pay - CHILD CARE...Liberal Party Announcement Policy 12/4/2015

For the past 15 years, I have read extensive medical literature about vaccines and I can confirm that we had extremely low incidents of whooping cough until they started vaccinating for it. I have documents that show that the government hid the rise and fall of incidents of whooping cough by presenting statistics in 10 years blocks and that it only became a notifiable disease when they introduced a vaccine for it. Furthermore, they have been trying for years to give this vaccine to newborns, but it is such a dangerous vaccine that they have never been able to get clinical trials for it. Parents do more research into buying a baby capsule or pram than they do with vaccines. Not surprising, people believe that I should not be allowed to say that I am against vaccines or why, so Google with the pressures from the medical mafia have now become the arbiters of truth. Websites like mine are hard to find and other websites that discredit me are listed first. I believe in free choice, I personally stop vaccinating my children when they were little because they were getting ill from vaccines, not diseases.

Date : 19 June 2011

Letters to the Editor - In reply to a recent health article in the Illawarra Mercury, ‘To needle or not?’ (15 June, 2011).

I am a mother of 3 children, who chose to stop vaccinating our children after I learnt that these injections were harming them. It was not easy to find reliable information supporting my decision not to vaccinate. Googling information on the net I found that the government was extremely biased, and intent on only giving pros for vaccinations, dismissing serious side effects as unrelated, and its probability as extremely high for it to occur. The information I was looking for was medical literature, stating statistics for diseases before the introduction of a vaccine, for example, polio, whooping cough (pertussis) and measles. The information I found was medical literature, clearly showing that these diseases have increased in incidences as a result of vaccinations, especially whooping cough. Before a vaccination was introduced in the 1950’s for whooping cough, it was not even considered as a notifiable disease. And then, the disease often appeared in cyclic years, and then naturally declined in its incidence. Importantly before the introduction of whooping cough vaccination, it was a common childhood disease, as common as measles, mumps and chicken pox. The disease was mild in most cases, resolving in less than 21 days. Today, it is a common disease in both children and adults. The issue here is that mothers today have not acquired natural immunity from the disease themselves, and therefore have not been able to give their babies cross placental immunity to the disease. Consequently, babies are born without acquired immunity from their mothers, and are also too young to receive vaccinations for diseases like whooping cough at birth. The issue whether vaccinations are at all effective is never questioned, and statistics showing children contracting these diseases despite vaccinations are never recorded. Often children who have been vaccinated, but who have not had boosters, are regarded as unvaccinated. The gathering of statistics and changes to diagnoses is another area that has changed since the introduction of vaccinations for many diseases. These changes allow disease trends to appear as declining in the community. For example, the printing of data in block years for rates of clinically diagnosed cases, and changing diagnosis criteria to make a disease appear less common, including not recording of statistics to show that other strains become more prevalent after vaccination. It is often stated, that children are fortunate to receive protection from these childhood diseases through vaccinations, but at what cost? Today children have more allergies, and succumb increasingly to autoimmune diseases and neurological disorders. A link, which many opposed to vaccinations believe but is rigorously and constantly denied in medical research. There are studies to show that naturally acquired childhood diseases can protect children from developing asthma, disease in cartilage later in life, as well as protecting from cancer (Lancet September, 1985). Vaccines not only contain antigens, supposedly to help the immune system develop antibodies to diseases but also contain various poisonous ingredients considered toxic at any level in the body – this is well documented in medical literature but ignored when informing parents of the many risks involved with vaccinations.

STOP AVN lobby group helping vaccine advocates to push newborns to receive an additional vaccine.

What is really behind all those news stories about the AVN (Australian Vaccination Network) in the media, and the HCCC (Health Care Complaints Commission) request to have the AVN publish a disclaimer on their website?

Well, it is not surprising that for a number of years there has been a push to complete a study in which newborns receive the whooping cough vaccine, instead of waiting until they were 2 months old. It was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, July 27, 2010, Vaccine activists labelled a threat, by Kate Benson, that Toni and David McCaffery's daughter Dana, was only 4 weeks old when she presumably died of whooping cough. It also stated, that the McCaffery’s were contacted by an anonymous person from the AVN group, and called on the Government and the HCCC, to have the AVN display a disclaimer on its website in a prominent position, stating its purpose was to provide information that was against vaccination, and it should not be considered as medical advice. The McCaffery’s along with Ken McLeod, who instigated a Face Book website called STOP AVN have lobbied for months to highlight the fact that this baby was too young to receive its vaccination for whooping cough before it died. Questionably, McLeod has connections and involvement with groups like the Skeptics, Antivaxxers and www.ratbags.com/rsoles/ who openly criticize groups and individuals who question the safety of vaccines.

The Adelaide Advertiser dated 26 July 2010 ‘Baby steps to beat whooping cough’, published an article suggesting that we are in the midst of the worst whooping cough epidemics in 40 years, and that researchers at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital will investigate whether an extra vaccination shot given soon after birth could better protect infants. They are looking for ‘100 expectant mothers to volunteer their newborns for the study, the largest study of its kind in the southern hemisphere.’ It is expected that in total that they will have at least 440 babies from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane who will be given the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) vaccination within five days of birth. This will be in addition to the normal Pertussis vaccinations, also given at six either weeks or two months, four months, six months and four years of age. Note, the NCIRS (National Centre of Immunisation, Research and Surveillance) in 2003, removed the 18 month booster following reports of injection site reactions.

Interestingly, the news media did not publish medical facts from the NCIRS stating that there are epidemics despite high vaccination rates. It also states the cyclic years that they have appeared, and that we are at the end of one. NCIRS states, ‘In recent years, there have been periodic epidemics which have occurred at intervals of 3–4 years (1997–98, 2001, 2005–06, 2008– 09)’. In fact, the rates of epidemics and incidences of the disease coincidently started to occur and increase when vaccination compliances were introduced in 1997. The Minister for Health and Aged Care, the Hon Dr. Michael Wooldridge, introduced the ‘Seven Point Plan to Immunize Australians’ in 1997. Immunisation providers were given incentives to vaccinate and help keep vaccination rates in children under 7 years of age as high as 90 percent. Including changes to Childcare allowance that became linked to vaccination status and the Maternity Immunisation Allowance was introduced.

The NCIRS site also states, ‘the increase in notification rates over time could also be due, as a result of increased availability of serological testing and more sensitive testing.’ Also, that in Australia, the problem is among two broad age groups; those older than 20 years of age and those under the age of 6 months. Including the suggestion that adolescents and adults are a reservoir for infections (accounting for 60% of notifications in 2008). Hence, the blaming this group, for example, parents for not being immunised. Unfortunately, transplacental immunity is not discussed for the simple fact that newborns today are unlike to acquire immunity of common childhood diseases from their mothers transplacentally. As well as after birth through breast-feeding because in most cases they have not acquired natural immunity of the diseases themselves.

The prospect of another vaccine being added to an already over weighted vaccination schedule, will for a majority of the population, be seen as life saving and necessary. Those of us who question the validity and safety of vaccines, will understand that good health does not come in the form of vaccinations. We are seeing more diseases and neurological disorders in children, even increasingly in the elderly, as both of these groups are targeted prominently for vaccines and boosters. The simple fact is that the AVN, and other groups like it around the world, are being made scapegoats to push aside facts, discussion, about the lack of research used to promote vaccines. The epidemilogical studies to approve vaccines are flawed; the use of data produced by the vaccine makers is also totally unethical. We need to see the evidence also that vaccines are ineffective, even to the opposition of those parents like the McCaffrey’s and Pro-vaccination groups, as justice and freedom of speech is assured only if we are allowed to hear and see both sides of the story.

Vaccination is NOT compulsory in Australia; both vaccinating and non-vaccinating parents are ‘equally’ entitled to childcare assistance, and fee relief.† Vaccination exemptions; either Medical, religious, conscientious or through natural immunity, are included in Maternity and Child Care Payment Acts 1997, and 1998.

Further note: HCCC could not take any further action against the AVN regarding the disclaimer, SMH dated 27/7/2010. The AVN already have a disclaimer on their site it reads - If medical advice is required the services of a competent professional should be sought. http://avn.org.au/

Additional comments: The Sydney Morning Herald news article 'Vaccine activists labeled a threat' by Kate Benson, was not news worthy of front page. No substance in the story. The unfortunate death of baby Dana, allegedly of whooping cough, occurred well over 12 months ago. There is no known medical history of the baby published in the media to date. Also, the HCCC admitted that they were helpless to enforce the AVN to publish the disclaimer. Hence, it make no sense to have such a story on the front page, unless of course there is another basis for it. For example, as I explained, the Whooping cough trials for newborns. The decay of our newspapers and journalism in this country is evident from the response I received after speaking to several journalists of major newspapers. Those of you who are listening and publishing the information (without misinterpretations), I applaud you!

Swine Flu vaccines contain mercury

Patricia Bohackyj, Co-ordinator Healthy Families of Illawarra, Mobile 0422 933 993.

A few months ago, Westmead Hospital (August 2009) conducted a Swine Flu Vaccine Trial on infants and young children. I contacted Westmead Hospital (by phone 12/8/09) and I was informed that the Swine Flu vaccine to be used for this trial had no Thiomersal(Mercury) and no antibiotics in the formulation because they were using single dose vaccines, not multi-dose. A multi-dose vaccine is a vial containing a large quantity of a vaccine, where you can take a specific quantity and/or take several doses from the same vial for administration. Because there is a possible risk of contamination they must add mercury to multi-dose vaccine products. I rang CSL (30/9/09) and they informed me that they have only manufactured multi-dose vaccines, and there is no intention at this stage to produce single dose Swine Flu vaccines without mercury and antibiotics. The trial at Westmead Hospital was not intended for safety but to measure antibody response only, where young children were randomly administered a double or quadruple dose of swine flu vaccine. The concern now, is that, when they do start vaccinating young children in the Australian population, they will use the multi-dose swine flu vaccine because that is all that has been manufactured and released.

I understand that they are still waiting for vaccine trial results for children under 10 years before they are going to allow this group to be vaccinated. So far, information from overseas trials suggests that two doses of the Swine Flu vaccine will be required for all children less than 10 years of age. Meanwhile the government is targeting pregnant women with a vaccine that contains mercury and antibiotics. There has never been any safety data or vaccine trials ever done on pregnant women. The CSL product information states that safety profile of the vaccine in pregnant women is unknown. The Swine Flu vaccine is highly recommended to pregnant women, this is alarming as the mercury containing vaccine can cross the placenta and cause neurological damage to the unborn baby. There are many medical published article stating that there is no causal link between vaccines contain mercury and the incidences of Autism, however many parents who have a child with autism will argue that there child neurological developed was affected soon after a vaccine.

The Swine Flu vaccine should have taken many years to research but similarly to the HPV Cervical vaccine, yet another vaccine as been pushed through quickly and only later will severe adverse side effects be revealed. If you are a parent wanting your child to receive the Swine Flu vaccine (you are mad!!!), then you should ensure that the child is receiving a single vial dose vaccine and not multi-dose containing mercury and antibiotics. Also, that your child is not allergic to eggs, as chick embryos are involved in growing the virus. It is imperative that your doctor or clinic nurse records the batch number of the vaccine, as there is always a possible side affect from any vaccine at any time.

It is reported that there have been 36,000 confirmed cases in Australia, 172 deaths (18 September, 2009 AAP). That is, only 0.47% deaths from the confirmed cases. Looking at the whole Australian population, you can say that out of 22 Million people, the disease only affected 0.16 percent of the population, and only killed 0.00078 percent of the population. Correctly, 99.74% of the population was not affected by the Swine flu. However, the government is intent on vaccinating 100% of the population with an un-trialed vaccine. The Swine Flu vaccine will be available to all Australians but is not compulsory.

SWINE FLU VACCINE INGREDIENTS 2009

The first two million doses of Swine Flu Vaccine that they are going to start give out from today (30 September, 2009) is a multi-doses type vaccine which contains MERCURY!!! The trials at Westmead Hospital were conducted without Thiomersal and there was no mention of Neomycin (Antibiotic) either.

www.h1n1vax.com.au (CSL website)

Active ingredients:

Purified, inactivated virus fragments from influenza type:

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus strain, 15 micrograms (0.5 mL dose)

It contains thiomersal (Mercury) as a preservative in the multi-dose vial.

Other ingredients:

Sodium chloride
Sodium phosphate – monobasic
Sodium phosphate – dibasic anhydrous
Potassium chloride
Potassium phosphate – monobasic
Calcium chloride

The vaccine may also contain trace amounts of egg proteins, neomycin, polymyxin, sucrose and detergent (sodium taurodeoxycholate).

The Swine Flu is recommended for pregnant women.

There is no pandemic, no more swine flu than seasonal flu, in Australia and swine flu cases have been mild except where there are underlying conditions.

Mercury www.visainfo.org.au (Vaccination - Investigated before you vaccinate: A guide for Parents)

‘Thiomersal’ has been added to vaccines as a preservative since the 1930’s. It is 50% mercury by weight and there is concern about the exposure to mercury that children have through thiomersal containing vaccines. ‘Severe reactions to thiomersal have been reported for many years and demonstrate the need for an alternative preservative.’[1]

Manufacturers have been asked to remove mercury from vaccines and some states in America have banned all thiomersal containing vaccines, though this has been over-ridden with the influenza vaccine recommendations. Also reports from independent analysers have shown that despite reassurances, mercury is still used in vaccine production and cannot be completely filtered out.[2]

Thiomersal is still in adult diphtheria/ tetanus (ADT), Influenza, Q fever, Japanese Encephalitis and some Hepatitis B, Meningococcal and Haemophilus influenza B (HiB) vaccines.

The El Lilly Company Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for Thimerosal cautions that if it enters through the skin (absorption not by injection) it is toxic, can alter genetic material, and cause allergic reactions and lung tissue changes. Exposure in utero (in the womb) and in children may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment. (Influenza vaccines are recommended for pregnant women in the second or third trimester)

A study that compared pre and post vaccination mercury levels “showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination”. It concluded that, “Because mercury is known to be a potential neurotoxin to infants, further study of its pharmacodynamics (what it does in the body) is warranted.”[3]

Autism diagnosis increased an average of 400% across American States in the 1990’s when the number of vaccines administered escalated, especially with the introduction of 3 doses of mercury containing Hepatitis B vaccine, beginning at birth.

The neurotoxic effects of mercury can include cerebral palsy, hearing loss, visual impairment, ataxia (loss of muscle co-ordination) and mental retardation.[4]

In re-analysing important data, the Journal of Child Neurology reported in 2007 that in fact “a significant relation does exist between the blood levels of mercury and diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder”, suggesting also that persons with autism may be less efficient and more variable at eliminating mercury from the blood.[5]

Autism-like damage has occurred in the brains of mice exposed to thiomersal. The mice were bred to be vulnerable to disorders of the immune system and researchers argued that it was possible that children with similarly compromised immune systems may also be at risk.[6]

Mercury compounds are triggers for severe skin and other allergies.[7]

We know that mercury is easily able to cross the placenta and the blood-brain barrier and can affect the rapidly developing brain tissue of babies in the womb and after they are born.[8] The blood-brain barrier is not intact in infants until at least 6 weeks of life.

Swine Flu - The manufacturers behind the flu virus (4 May 2009)

By Patricia Bohackyj

Before we even heard of the apparent recent outbreak of the Swine flu in Mexico, a gigantic pharmaceutical disaster had occurred in the United States about six months ago (December 2008) that may perhaps be responsible for the current worldwide flu health scare. A disastrous and possible intentional contamination of a seasonal flu vaccine has gone almost unnoticed and without receiving much international media attention, that no doubt, should have made front page headline news, world wide.

Baxter International, a vaccine developer and manufacturer, has been caught on the brink of starting an Avian flu pandemic. They distributed contaminated flu vaccines with H5N1 Avian flu virus to 18 countries last December, as part of the seasonal flu vaccine. Apparently, the Czech Republic decided to test the vaccine before injecting it into humans and discovered the dreadful contamination. The H5N1 is a strain of the avian flu that is classed as a bio-terrorism agent. How did the virus get into the vaccine? Well, no one is asking. If it was accidentally, then no one is explaining that either. What we do know is that there is this strange strain of flu now called the ‘Swine flu’ that combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way that researchers have never seen before. 'New Strain of Flu Virus Spreads to 18 Countries' By Betsy McKay (4 May, 2009).

What is incredibly interesting is that the Swine flu pandemic fear is not new. In 1976, fear of a great Swine Flu plague occurred in the United States. It all started with a soldier by the name of David Lewis, aged nineteen, who died unexpectedly of influenza like symptoms. The death was investigated and initially they could not identify what kind of virus that the young man had died from, so a sample was sent to a testing laboratory at the Centre for Diseases Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, where health officials disclosed that the ‘Swine flu’ was responsible of the death of the soldier and had also hospitalised four of his fellow soldiers at an army base. What followed was fear and panic beyond any proportion and imagination that had never been seen before in the US, which allowed a vaccine to be hastily developed and administered to millions of people before it was properly tested for safety and before it could understood if this particular flu was a real health threat or how it came about. The Swine flu vaccine killed and injured many more people than the flu. Furthermore, President Gerald Ford lost the elections on this fiasco and there are still now lots of conjecture, that the president used the Swine Flu vaccination campaign as a ploy to be re-elected - which he lost to Jimmy Carter anyway. Unfortunately, around 46 million Americans were vaccinated before the campaign came to a halt. To this date there are still thousands upon thousands of people claiming injury or death of a loved one from the Swine Flu vaccine. Cleverly the vaccine manufactures in the USA in 1976, managed to convince the government of the day to take full liability for the harmful side effects from the vaccine. People will be amazed to know that in Australia, there is no such thing as compensation from vaccine damage – so it is at your own risk. Amazingly, we later learn that 500 soldier’s at Lewis’s base had tested positive to the swine flu virus without falling ill. It is no great secret that the military are normally targeted for experimental vaccines and perhaps the soldier that had died and the others that became ill at the military base, as there were no other confirmed cases in the USA or anywhere else in the world, had quite possibly contracted the Swine flu from a vaccine that had been administered to them.

This new fear campaign about the Swine flu will no doubt create health concerns for all, particularly for the elderly and children, resulting in a push for more vaccines, causing further health problems and new diseases to emerge. But most likely, it will also again be used as pretext to further reduce people’s freedom to travel and to increase surveillance of the general population. It will be used as an excuse to monitor people’s movements and or track them (especially the changes we have seen since 911). Particularly in Mexico and possible the US, governments in some cases are now restricting people’s movement and quarantining people until a vaccine is produced . Again it should take years to research a vaccine correctly but without haste and proper scientific investigation, a vaccine will be produced and death and injury will again be unaccounted for. MeanwhileTamiflu and Relenza will be given to those suspected of having the Swine flu but what your health provider won’t tell you, is that Tamiflu reduces the influenza symptoms by 1 to 1 ½ days, at the most. You are also at greater risk of bacterial infection. It can also cause convulsions, delirium or delusion. There were 14 deaths of children and teens of neuropsychiatric problems and brain infections reported to the FDA (2007) in the USA from Tamiflu. It would be interesting to know if there are stockpiles of anti-viral drugs going out of date in Australia and around the world, after the last avian flu scare a few years ago that faded out almost overnight.

You doctor may use this Swine flu fear campaign to target you for the flu vaccine. Ask him if he has read the manufacturer’s insert – what is in the vaccine? Why does the vaccine contain flu viruses from places from last session; countries that you possibly never visited like Moscow, Hong Kong, Asia, New Caledonia, and so on. How does he pick which vaccine to give you? What are some of the serious side-effects of the vaccine listed in MIMS?
