Let’s look over some rather interesting facts about this year’s attempt to scare the bejeezus out of us.
The swine flu is simply a flu. It is not even a particularly deadly and is milder than the normal seasonal flu. But, oh boy, has it been hyped up in the press!
This year will be the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines have both been administered. Each flu requires two inoculations. We are told the reason for that is single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies, which is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. So, were we conned in previous years and how then can we trust what we are told this time?
Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies ( an adjuvant is an agent added to a vaccine to stimulate the immune system and increase the response to the vaccine) but there is evidence these can trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants being used are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene – all toxic substances. Mercury is even more brain-toxic than lead.
The vaccine, also known as "Swine Flu Goo," also contains, as a matter of interest, antifreeze. This is very thoughtful what with winter coming on but a list of its ingredients reads like something scraped up from the bottom of a skip outside an abattoir and as a responsible parent I will not be giving it to my kids.
This is the first year that mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. In other words, the vaccines that have been tested and approved are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
In many countries, particularly the United States, over-vaccination has become an epidemic in itself, albeit a profitable one for the pharmaceutical manufacturers that appear to have taken over our governments. American children, for instance, are administered an incredible 29 vaccines by the age of two! Even veterinarians have backed off from over-vaccinating dogs because of observed adverse effects.
Autism is on the rise and modern medicine still has no explanation for this very modern disease. Interestingly, it appears to be more of a problem in countries that heavily vaccinate. The Amish on the other hand do not vaccinate and there is no autism reported among their children.
Quite aside from the physical complications brought about by excessive use of vaccination, many researchers warn that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs making the virus more likely to mutate. Indeed, most seasonal influenza virus strains are now resistant to Tamiflu and it has become nearly worthless against them.
Public health authorities meanwhile exhibit astonishing negligence in that practical ways to strengthen immunity against the flu are consistently neglected, with no options outside of vaccines and anti-flu drugs being offered the citizenry. There is a general decline in resistance to disease due to compromised immune systems and this has been the cue for pharmaceutical corporations to step in with a highly profitable culture of vaccination against everything in sight. This is despite the very strong evidence that vitamins C, E and D, chlorophyll, beta carotene and the trace minerals zinc and selenium boost the immune system. However, educating the public on boosting their immune systems, while it might save lives, increased the quality of life and slash the national health bill, would be of no use to the pharmaceutical corporations who would find inhibited their opportunities to profit from the sale of drugs and vaccines.
There is by the way a strong suspicion in some quarters that the Swine Flu virus is man made. Virologists do admit that this unusual part swine flu/part avian flu/part human flu virus must have taken time to develop. But it somehow wasn’t detected by hundreds of flu monitoring stations across the globe before it suddenly popped up in Mexico. On April 24, 2009 Dr. John Carlo, Dallas County Medical Director, hinted that the H1N1 strain of the Swine flu may have been engineered in a laboratory. He is quoted in the Globe & Mail, Canada, as saying: "This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified."
Cast your mind back to the previous swine flu scare in 1976 when the swine flu suddenly appeared at a military base. Read the newspapers from that time: the scaremongering then was remarkably similar to the scaremongering taking place 33 years later. In 1976 also, a vaccine was produced and millions of Americans were vaccinated. But it is a matter of record that the vaccine did more harm than the disease, causing hundreds of cases of Guillain Barre syndrome and several deaths.
Over $9 billion has been allotted by the federal government to develop and deliver an unproven and experimental flu vaccine and, just as in 1976, the US Federal government is heavily involved in promoting the swine flu vaccine with highway billboards and plans to conduct military-style mass inoculations. This is wonderfully remunerative for the pharmaceutical corporations in whose interests President Obama’s White House seems to have some as yet undisclosed investment but why this massive mobilisation of resources over a flu that is not a particularly bad one? After all, the wholesale drugging of US troops in the Middle East with psychotropic medications has killed more Americans through suicide than the flu virus in the homeland but there has not been the same vast mobilisation of resources to prevent further deaths.
It should also be pointed out that rapid mass inoculations will mean that if side effects from these untested, fast-tracked vaccines do occur, it will be too late – adverse effects will emerge only after vast number of people have already been injected. Of course, if this nightmare scenario does occur, I am confident that governments with weak allegiance to the truth and even weaker allegiance to their own citizens will be equal to the task of shifting the blame.
Will we ever be told whether the current flu vaccine is deadly? Well, if it turns out to be, it will not be the first time. In 1993 in the US, the government hid a flu vaccine that killed thousands of nursing home patients. The vaccine-related mortality was so high that it set back the average life expectancy of Americans for the first time since the 1918 Spanish flu! Mortality reports take a year or two to tabulate and the federal government may choose not to reveal the true mortality rate and whether it was related to the flu or the vaccines. "Oh that couldn’t happen!" you say. Well, it did in 1993!
In the US, the federal government looks set to coerce Americans into submitting to vaccination: a further erosion of traditional freedoms in mimicry of the more authoritarian France, which has already ordered enough vaccine to inoculate the entire population and has informed a bemused populace that vaccination will be mandatory. The US government appears meanwhile to be less confident of the meek acquiescence of her citizens and will wait until disinformation campaigns have thoroughly terrified the populace before acting against its own population.
It is a matter of record that public health authorities have cried wolf every flu season to get the public to line up for flu shots. Remember the Bird Flu epidemic? In the US they regularly publish the false figures of 36,000 annual flu-related deaths so as to frighten the public into submitting to flu shots. Yet the truth is that figure is disingenuous, being is based on the combined deaths from pneumonia in the elderly and the flu. Probably 5000–6000 or so flu-related deaths occur each year, although very few healthy people die from it. Most of those who perish already have other serious health problems that leave them weakened and vulnerable. Swine Flu by comparison has so far killed just a tenth of that number.
The news media, as if under orders, has acted more like a propaganda machine in its stunningly irresponsible stirring up of unfounded fear over this flu season. One of the tactics in this scaremongering has been to luridly report every swine flu death. When many more die of the seasonal flu annually with few if any individually reported at all, why choose to loudly trumpet each and every of the fewer swine flu deaths – unless the intent is to frighten the public and get them to submit to the vaccine?
Some Tips: Protect Yourself Without Harmful Drugs
Follow these simple guidelines and keep your health and immune system in tip-top working order so that you're far less likely to catch the flu to begin with.
Take blue-green algae as part of a healthy diet. Having tried it myself and become enthused by its benefits, I have written a FREE book that will tell you all you need to know about this wonderful natural product. You can pick one up by visiting the website at the bottom of this article.
Take lots of vitamin D. For exactly how much, consult a nutritionist. Vitamin D deficiency is very likely the real reason we have problems with flu - not the flu virus itself.
Avoid sugar and processed foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately.
Get enough rest. If your body is overly tired it will be harder for it to fight the flu.
Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow.
Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil or fish.
Avoid processed food.
Wash your hands to decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people.
Eat garlic. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body and it is an absolutely safe product to use. But if you are allergic, avoid as it will.
Avoid hospitals and vaccines. Stay away from hospitals if you can: they are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to flu bugs of all kinds.
Quit smoking if you can. I know it is not easy – I’ve been there. But trust me, you’ll be amazed at how much getting off the dreaded weed can boost your health!
If you or your child catches flu, assist recovery using more traditional cold and flu remedies, such as hydrogen peroxide solution in the ear, zinc lozenges, high quality raw honey, or a homemade cough syrup.
Be well!
