Flu Vaccine: H1N1 Swine Flu Preventer or Spreader?

“Doctors are encouraging patients to be flu vaccinated in light of six H1N1 Swine Flu deaths and dozens critically ill in Texas, but are patients advised that for 21 days after the flu jab or inhalation, people are H1N1 Swine Flu contagious, especially to most vulnerable populations?
“News of the deadly cases has doctors in North Texas on alert and again pushing people to get their shots, if they haven’t already,” CBS reported Friday.
This news comes as major vaccine maker and Britain’s largest drug maker has been found guilty of fraud and making corrupt payments to doctors and officials to boost its drug sales.
“Pharmaceutical drug maker GlaxoSmithKline will pay $3 billion and plead guilty to federal charges to resolve a slew of criminal and civil issues stemming from its use of kickbacks, mis-branding and other misconduct to market drugs such as Paxil, Wellbutrin and Advair, the U.S. government announced.” (LA Times)
“The government also accused Glaxo of offering kickbacks to medical professionals, dangling cash, trips to Florida and tickets to basketball games as an incentive to promote and prescribe its drugs.”
This spotlight on the vaccine-maker comes as reports say scientists found the sleep disorder narcolepsy can be triggered by “molecular mimicry”, possibly explainingr its link to a GlaxoSmithKline’s H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine.
Major vaccine maker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) said this week it will respond to pressure to stop paying doctors to promote its drugs and end compensating sales representatives for the number of prescriptions doctors write. This is amid a major bribery investigation in China.
“GSK is not the only culprit. Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Eli Lilly and Sanofi have all been heavily criticized and accused of initiating scandals in medical research,” Prevent Disease reported this week.
“It’s all coming to an end,” declared Dr. Robin Herring. “There is no longer a place for corrupting the health of this country and drug companies are finally being exposed for this shady practice,” she stated.
Doctors are nevertheless pushing vaccinations in Texas this week, according to CBS. This drug pushing is gaining momentum as H1N1 flu cases were first reported in the Houston area, where six people have died from it there and Friday, and an Austin resident died from H1N1.
Since August, heath care workers have been spreading the message to get the flu vaccination trivalent, that includes H1N1, according to CBS, despite studies showing that the vaccine is ineffective in preventing H1N1 and that it spreads the deadly virus.
CBS is among media outlets pushing the vaccine, quoting one Dallas resident, Kathy Lanham: “If I can avoid getting sick, and it’s something as easy as getting a shot, I’m going to do that. To me it’s common sense.”
This is is quoted despite CDC admitting the flu vaccine did not prevent or stop the disase. In fact, CBS goes on to report this weekend, ”This year’s vaccine also stops the H1N1 virus.”
Getting a flu vaccination year after year may make people more susceptible to getting the flu, according to studies highlighted by the National Vaccine Information Center. Worse, it helps spread H1N1, acording to some independent scientists. Could they be right? Could this be why the 2009 H1N1 ”pandemic” is back with a vengeance?
“H1N1, or swine flu, has been circulating the globe for about five years and swept across North America in 2009,” reports CTV today. “Public health officials expected that a majority of people would have developed immunity to the strain after it first circulated, but rising reports of illness suggest otherwise.”
“We are seeing a large number of cases of new outbreaks in populations we thought were already protected, and that to me is kind of a surprise,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Neil Rau told CTV News.
Flu Vaccine Not Effective In Preventing H1N1
Research studies have shown for three years that the flu vaccine is not effective in preventing H1N1 has been widely reported, including a study by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
In Nov. 13, 2009, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention published a case-cohort study on the effectiveness of 2008-09 trivalent influenza vaccine against 2009 pandemic H1N1, concluding there was no decreased or increased risk of pandemic H1N1 following seasonal flu vaccine for people vaccinated. (CDC. Effectiveness of 2008-09 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine Against 2009 Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1)—United States, May-June 2009. MMWR Nov. 13, 2009; 58 (44):1241-5.)
Between April 21 and May 8, a total of 97 military family patients developed H1N1. Of these, 63, or 66 percent, had received the flu vaccine in the previous 12 months. ”In comparison, only 40 percent of patients without H1N1 virus had no history of vaccination,” reported Barbara Loe Fisher at the National Vaccine Information Center.
“As we are currently struggling through one of the most vigorous influenza seasons in recent memory, the apparent failure of influenza vaccine under optimal conditions seen in this study is indeed troubling,” wrote Drs. John Treanor and Peter Szilagyi in response to similar findings in 2013. (Treanor JJ and Szilagyi P. Influenza Vaccine: Glass Half Full or Half Empty? Clinical Infectious Diseases Feb. 14, 2013.)
“Researchers, led by Vancouver’s Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the early weeks of the [2009 H1N1] pandemic that people who got a flu shot for the 2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people who hadn’t received a flu shot,” the Vancouver Sun reported. “Five studies done in several provinces showed the same unsettling results.”
ABC reported Professor Collignon from the Australian National University saying:
“What was a bit surprising when we looked at some of the data from Canada and Hong Kong in the last year is that people who have been vaccinated in 2008 with the seasonal or ordinary vaccine seemed to have twice the risk of getting swine flu compared to the people who hadn’t received that vaccine.”
Flu Vaccine Spreads H1N1
What the CDC and most health care providers are failing to widely publish and advise the unwitting consumers rushing to be vaccinated, however, is that people getting the flu vaccine are aiding in spreading the deadly strain of H1N1 flu.
People vaccinated for the flu are contagious. CDC admits this.
“Data indicate that both children and adults vaccinated with nasal spray can shed vaccine viruses after vaccination, CDC reports in its online advisory pushing the vaccine.
The CDC is not warning that people vaccinated for the flu remain H1N1 contagious to every person they contact for 21 days. Nor is it warning that those vaccinated help the deadly disease mutate for those 21 days. (Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, The Truth About Flu Shots, 2009)
“The live vaccine absolutely spreads the disease,” stated Dr. Vera Sharav. (Sherry Beal, Healthy Planet, Healthy Me, KPFK Public Radio Interview cited in D. Dupre, H1N1 October Surprise Prevention, Global Research Center for Research on Globalization, Aug. 22, 2009)
Fully aware of research showing H1N1 prevention ineffectiveness and effectiveness in spreading H1N1, the government’s goal is for a large portion of the population to be vaccinated.
Vaccine injury compensation awards have risen. Nearly $3 billion in federal compensation has been awarded to children and adults for vaccine injuries and deaths since the VICP began making awards in 1989.
“At the September (2013) meeting of the Advisory Commission for Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) the Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) reported that fiscal year 2013 was likely to exceed totals for compensated claims of previous years – over $216 million as of August 13,” Theresa Wrangham reported after attending the 2013 meeting of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) of which she is executive director.
“Though influenza vaccine injuries and deaths are now leading compensation awards…, and effectiveness of the vaccine is variable, influenza vaccine uptake targets among children and adults are relentlessly pursued,” Wrangham reported. “CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat briefed the NVAC on Healthy People 2020 Goals for influenza vaccine:
- 70% of children age 6 months to 17 years;
- 70% for adults 18 and over;
- 90% for Health Care Providers (HCP)
- TBA for Pregnant women – waiting for data to set goal
As the flu vaccine is being pushed, it behoves the reader and everyone with whom the reader is in contact over this holiday season, to be conscious that today’s heightened H1N1 scare and subsequent vaccination push is about the most basic of all human rights: control over our own bodies and health decisions.
The citizen action group Vaccine Resistance Movement (VRM) has stated, “This is no time to be a spectator, nor to hide in fear, and there’s no sense in waiting until the worst possible scenario happens.”
After ABC reported, “We may be perversely setting ourselves up that if something really new and nasty comes along, that people who have been vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible compared to getting this natural infection,” Dr. Joseph Mercola stated, “Truer words are hard to find in mainstream media. articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/09/18/flu-shot-increases-flu-illness.aspx
“This is, after all, the fundamental basics of immunity against disease. Vaccine-induced immunity to disease is trying to mimic this natural mechanism, but failing miserably in doing so.”
Mercola also advises to stay away from hospitals and to watch the video below.
“I’d recommend avoiding hospitals unless you’re having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to any new bug.
“Also keep in mind that virtually all vaccinations have the potential to reduce the effective functioning of your immune system, NOT make it stronger!”
