Swine Flu Vaccine & Mercury

02 November, 2009

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 development 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?

Finally, a quote ‘An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one ever hears about it’. Mahatma Gandhi.
