FLU WHAT A STINKER

Private Eye 10 January - 23 January 2003

A row has broken out over reports that four of the seven flu jabs on offer this winter contain thimerosal - a 50 percent mercury-based preservative which is supposedly being phased out of all vaccines in the United States and Europe because of its possible links with autism, Alzheimer's and brain damage.

Though the debate about thimerosal in vaccines is muted in Britain, in the US the preservative is at the centre of a multi-billion dollar lawsuit. Parents there maintain their children's autism and brain damage have been triggered by a build-up of mercury.

Last year a congressional hearing into the tenfold rise in autism in the US heard that a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicating a possible link between thimerosal and autism was never published. This led to claims of a cover-up.

The US Institute of Medicine has said the link was not proven but ''biologically plausible''. There was insufficient evidence either way. In the meantime the US decided to phase out all thimerosal and doctors there have been advised to opt for mercury-free vaccines wherever possible. So why, when presented with a choice of flu jabs, did Britain's health department opt for some with thimerosal? A spokesman said: ''In response to your question about why the department doesn''t just buy thimerosal-free flu vaccines, flu vaccine is not purchased centrally. It is purchased directly by GPs.'' This ignores government responsibility for vaccine and medicine safety.

The spokesman added that the decision to phase out the preservative in the US and Europe was ''precautionary''. ''There is no convincing evidence of harm to anyone, including infants and pregnant women, caused by small amounts of thimerosal in flu vaccines and the benefits of flu vaccine outweigh any hypothetical risks.''

In the US the authorities are clearly more concerned - particularly about the legal action. Four clauses have been slipped into the national homeland security bill, introduced in the wake of 11 September, effectively exempting drug manufacturer Eli Lilly from the mercury lawsuits brought by parents. (Eli Lilly contributed nearly £1m to the Republicans in the latest political campaign.)

The clauses pushing the autism cases into special vaccine courts were apparently designed to protect companies in their efforts to develop vaccines to protect against biological welfare. But the ensuing outrage at provisions that have nothing to do with state security has forced promised from both the senate and the House legislative wings that the clauses will be changed to allow litigation to proceed.

Meanwhile in a separate move the justice department in Washington asked the vaccine court to block public access to government and drug manufacturers' documents in the 1000-plus autism cases it is already handling.

 

The disturbing images of the Ontario government's "Let's Beat the Flu" ad campaign confront TTC riders with a startling plea get the flu shot, or risk infecting loved ones with a potentially deadly disease. The ads tell riders the flu can lead to pneumonia, kidney failure and even heart failure in the elderly, children and the chronically ill. What the ads don't say is that some experts worry that flu shots could have startling long-term health effects. They say widespread vaccination could prevent people from developing natural immunities and end up making us a vaccine-dependent culture. - vaccinetruth.org

Thimerosal is known widely as a first-aid product available as "tincture of Merthiolate®" for home use. It is used as a preservative in cosmetics, including makeup removers, eye moisturizers, and mascaras. It may be found in soap-free cleansers, in nose-, eye-, eardrops; and in eye ointments, topical medications, and antiseptic sprays. Exposure may occur through the use of cleaning fluids for contact lenses. Thimerosal is also used widely as a preservative in vaccines, antitoxins, tuberculin tests, and desensitization solutions. - truetest.com

Semantic games: How much thimerosal = none?

According to the CDC web site, "The majority of influenza vaccines distributed in the United States currently contain thimerosal as a preservative. However, some contain only trace amounts of thimerosal and are considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be preservative-free. Manufacturers of preservative-free flu vaccine use thimerosal early in the manufacturing process. The thimerosal gets diluted as the vaccine goes through the steps in processing. By the end of the manufacturing process there is not enough thimerosal left in the vaccine to act as a preservative and the vaccine is labeled ‘preservative-free'.

For the 2005-06 flu season, a limited amount of influenza vaccine that does not contain thimerosal as a preservative is available. Sanofi pasteur estimates that they will produce 6-8 million doses of thimerosal-free vaccine this year. Also, the nasal-spray influenza vaccine (sold commercially as FluMist®) does not contain any thimerosal and can be given to healthy people 5 to 49 years of age who are not pregnant."

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration web site, "Vaccines with trace amounts of thimerosal can contain 1 microgram or less of mercury per dose." Vaccines with 1 microgram or less of mercury per dose are considered to be "thimerisol free." This web site also provides a table of vaccines and preservatives currently being used in them.

Although mercury seems to be the primary preservative of concern within the autism community, other ingredients in the immunizations, such as formaldehyde and aluminum may also be problematic. It is also uncertain whether or not immunizing for multiple diseases at one time (such as the DPT and MMR vaccines) may overtax a young child's immune system and lead to immune system dysfunction. Dr. Boyd Haley, head of the chemistry department for Kentucky University, has shown in experiments with nerve cells that mercury in combination with other contaminants such as aluminum are synergistically more toxic to nerve cells than mercury alone. - autism coach

 

Taking Mercury out of vaccines too costly!

"Research showed that if warnings of the dangers of the vaccine were issued to parents, there would be a big demand for mercury-free vaccines, which would possibly limit the supplies."
Dr Mercola

Read that sentence again...

...the government has proved to be far more adept at handling the damage than at protecting children's health. The CDC paid the Institute of Medicine to conduct a new study to whitewash the risks of thimerosal, ordering researchers to "rule out" the chemical's link to autism. It withheld Verstraeten's findings, even though they had been slated for immediate publication, and told other scientists that his original data had been "lost" and could not be replicated. And to thwart the Freedom of Information Act, it handed its giant database of vaccine records over to a private company, declaring it off-limits to researchers. By the time Verstraeten finally published his study in 2003, he had gone to work for GlaxoSmithKline and reworked his data to bury the link between thimerosal and autism.

The drug companies are also getting help from powerful lawmakers in Washington. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has received $873,000 in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, has been working to immunize vaccine makers from liability in 4,200 lawsuits that have been filed by the parents of injured children. On five separate occasions, Frist has tried to seal all of the government's vaccine-related documents -- including the Simpsonwood transcripts -- and shield Eli Lilly, the developer of thimerosal, from subpoenas. In 2002, the day after Frist quietly slipped a rider known as the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" into a homeland security bill, the company contributed $10,000 to his campaign and bought 5,000 copies of his book on bioterrorism. Congress repealed the measure in 2003 -- but earlier this year, Frist slipped another provision into an anti-terrorism bill that would deny compensation to children suffering from vaccine-related brain disorders. "The lawsuits are of such magnitude that they could put vaccine producers out of business and limit our capacity to deal with a biological attack by terrorists," says Andy Olsen, a legislative assistant to Frist. - JF Kennedy Jr

Scrapping of mercury jab welcomed

The decision to scrap a mercury vaccine given to eight-week-old babies, amid fears of a link with autism, has been widely welcomed.

The National Autistic Society said it had always "supported moves to ensure that mercury is not used" in vaccines.

But concern has been expressed over a new five-in-one jab that will include the whooping cough vaccine.

Patients' Association chairman Michael Summers questioned whether "proper trials had been conducted."

Autism link?

The move follows recent research in America that suggests a connection between the mercury used to preserve the whooping cough vaccine, and autism.

The Department of Health has always maintained there is no evidence of such a link.

But Health Minister John Hutton has confirmed that a five-in-one injection, containing vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, Hib and polio, will be introduced later in the year. "We are continually looking at ways to improve this programme as new, more effective products become available," he said in a statement.

Doctors are also being told to switch from the live polio vaccine, currently given by mouth, to a "killed" vaccine injection to avoid rare cases of polio contamination, according to a report in The Daily Telegraph newspaper.

GP Richard Halverson told BBC News: "I welcome the fact that mercury is being withdrawn because it is toxic and should not be injected into babies full stop. "Mercury is one of the most toxic elements on this planet. It has no business being ingested in any form by anyone, it serves no useful purpose, it is dangerous." He also welcomed changes to the polio vaccine, saying it was "disgraceful" that the only cases of paralysis from polio in the UK in the last 15 years had been as a result of the vaccine.

Safety fears

But Mr Summers said that while the removal of mercury was "long overdue", patients would need reassurance about the new injection. He said: "Perhaps next week the chief medical officer would explain to the public precisely how this has now come about and whether proper trials had been conducted with a view to establishing whether it is safe."

Jackie Fletcher, founder of support group Justice, Awareness and Basic Support (Jabs), said: "With five-in-one vaccines we would want to know what safety trials have taken place. "How did they find out it was safe to do it in this combination?" Increasing the combinations increased the potential for an adverse reaction, she said. "What we want to see is more choice, where the vaccines are designed around what is right for the individual child."

Shadow health secretary Andrew Lansley said in a statement: "The way in which this has been announced leaves questions unanswered and further undermines confidence in the approval system for vaccinations. "Removing mercury from the preparation of vaccines is clearly the right thing to do, but public concerns about combining vaccines need to be addressed."

Research

In June, it was announced that US researchers at Columbia University found autism-like damage in the brains of mice exposed to thiomersal, the preservative used in the whooping cough vaccine.

Despite other US and European studies finding no link between mercury and autism, the Columbia team said they found that mice exposed to thiomersal showed signs of changed behaviour, and brain abnormalities.

The animals had been bred to be vulnerable to developing disorders of the immune system. The study team argued it was possible that children with similarly-compromised immunity may also be at risk.

question:

If children are showing the same symptoms of mice that have been bred to have a compromised immune system

does this mean that our children are being 'bred with a compromised immunity' too? & Autism?

is this how the disease industry works it's profit margins?

MERCURY AND AUTISM---THE SHELL GAME

JUNE 29, 2005. The phony debate continues to rage. Does mercury, a traditional component of vaccines, cause autism?

The debate is over. Of course mercury can and does cause autism.

But a case can be argued that mercury is not a solid cause of autism, because of the disease-labeling game which the medical profession controls.

Here, for example, is a partial list of disorders which are said to be neurological. This means either the cause or the effect involves nerves and brain:

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis Adrenoleukodystrophy Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
Aicardi Syndrome Alexander Disease Alpers' Disease Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Anencephaly
Angelman Syndrome Ataxia-telangiectasia Autism Batten Disease Canavan Disease
Cerebral Palsy Cytomegalic Inclusion Body Disease (CIBD) Down syndrome Encephalitis and Meningitis Epilepsy
Fetal alcohol syndrome Fragile X syndrome Friedreich's Ataxia Hunter syndrome Hydranencephaly
Hydrocephalus Infantile Spasms Kernicterus Krabbe disease Landau-Kleffner Syndrome
Leigh's disease Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome Leukodystrophy MELAS syndrome Mucopolysaccharidosis
Megalencephaly Menkes syndrome Mental retardation Microcephaly Mitochondrial myopathies
Pervasive Developmental Disorders Phenylketonuria (PKU) Prader-Willi syndrome Rasmussen's Encephalitis Rett Syndrome
Reye's Syndrome Sandhoff Disease Sanfilippo syndrome Schizencephaly Shaken Baby Syndrome
Spina Bifida Spinal Muscular Atrophy Sturge-Weber Syndrome Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis Tourette Syndrome
Tay-Sachs Disease Traumatic Brain Injury Williams Syndrome Wilson disease Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome

In each so-called disorder, the brain and/or nerves are affected.

Getting the picture?

Introduce a powerful neurotoxin (mercury) into the body, and who knows what symptoms it will produce and how those symptoms will be parsed and carved up and labeled by physicians?

The effects of mercury are much wider than the symptoms folded under the label called autism.

The simple and irreducible fact is: MERCURY CAUSES BRAIN AND NERVE DAMAGE.

Call it what you want to.

It's not a disorder or a disease.

It's poisoning.

Would you want to argue that very small doses of cyanide can cause some disease with a name?

That's playing right into medical hands:

"Well, you see, in the case of Grovelomuglugslug, a motor-control disease, we are doing extensive research. There are indications that a virus may be responsible. On the other hand, the people who are susceptible to the virus may well have an underlying genetic disorder. Claims that cyanide is to blame are vastly overblown, because we have seen cases where cyanide was clearly not present."

And now you have a debate that can drag on for years.

Likewise, the loose grouping of symptoms called autism can obviously result from different causes, one of which is mercury. But researchers can claim that mercury is not "the cause" of autism because there are cases of autism in which mercury is not present.

This is a semantic shell game.

To exit this game, come back to the fact that mercury is a poison.

If the denizens who make up the CDC and IOM and FDA committees who ponder (stonewall) autism and mercury were to ingest mercury, you would see a whole range and variety of symptoms, many of which could not be included under the definitions of various neurological disorders. There might be vision and hearing and gastrointestinal complications, for example. Or they could just keel over and die.

Flashback:

The reputation of both the FDA and Merck lies in shambles today after evidence continues to surface that shows the FDA knowingly approved, promoted and refused to recall a dangerous drug that caused an untold number of fatalities among the American population: Vioxx. []...the FDA sees its job as promoting drugs and the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies, not in protecting the public health.

[snip]

... the FDA is in bed with the drug companies -- a fact that's as obvious as the fingers on your hand to anyone who has actually been following the FDA's actions over the last few years.

There's no question about it: the FDA knowingly and willingly places the financial interests of Big Pharma as its highest priority. And in doing so, it is causing the needless death and suffering of American citizens. - Reputation of the FDA in shambles after Vioxx scandal; calls for wholesale FDA reform gain momentum

Merck hit with $9 million punitive levy

N.J. jury says Vioxx risks were withheld

By John Curran Associated Press - ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. --

A jury awarded $9 million in punitive damages yesterday to a man who blamed his heart attack on Vioxx, finding that manufacturer Merck & Co. knowingly withheld information about the risks of its arthritis drug from federal regulators.

Saying Merck's conduct showed a "wanton and willful disregard of another's rights," the state court jury added to the $4.5 million it had awarded last week to John McDarby, 77, of Park Ridge, and his wife, Irma.

Last Wednesday, the same panel found that Merck failed to warn of the drug's risks and committed consumer fraud in misrepresenting them to prescribing physicians. "This is a victory for all of the John and Irma McDarbys of the world," said Jerry Kristal, one of McDarby's lawyers.

Merck, which pulled the drug off the market in 2004 after a study linked it to increased risk of heart attack and stroke, said it would appeal the award. "Merck's actions were proper and did not, in any way, call for this award as defined by New Jersey law," said Chuck Harrell, spokesman for Merck's legal team.

Yesterday's decision capped a five-week trial that combined two cases: that of McDarby, a retired insurance agent who took the drug for four years, and Thomas Cona, 60, of Cherry Hill. Jurors rejected Cona's heart-attack claim but found in both cases that Merck misrepresented the risks of Vioxx and concealed them from physicians. After the verdict, jurors spoke briefly to reporters, calling the verdicts "fair and honest." They wouldn't answer questions.

McDarby, a diabetic who uses a wheelchair, wasn't in court for the verdict yesterday. His wife said the money -- which the couple won't get immediately because of appeals -- would go toward giving her husband around-the-clock medical care.

Asked if she had anything to say to Merck, Irma McDarby responded: "The truth shall set you free." "It's the integrity that's involved, the morality that's involved. All these things are important," she said.

Merck faces about 9,650 Vioxx cases in state and federal courts, and has vowed to try them one at a time. Harrell, the Merck spokesman, said the verdicts won't change Merck's strategy of defending the Vioxx lawsuits. The trial was the first involving people alleging use of 18 months or more. That's key because the study that prompted Merck to voluntarily withdraw the drug found its risks doubled after 18 months' use. Merck, in Whitehouse Station, N.J., has won two cases and lost two, and another trial is under way in Texas. - Courier-journal.com

WW1

"There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against. One soldier who had returned from overseas in 1912 told me that the army hospitals were filled with cases of infantile paralysis and he wondered why grown men should have an infant disease. Now, we know that paralysis is a common after-effect of vaccine poisoning. Those at home didn't get the paralysis until after the world-wide vaccination campaign in 1918"

Gulf War Syndrome

There are several known causes of the disease GULF WAR SYNDROME but those most widely recognised are:-

1. Vaccines given to supposedly protect against the Iraqi biological weapons, anthrax, plague and botulinum toxins. Some veterans received as many as twelve vaccines at one time and had severe reactions. Tell tale immunological markers have been found which indicate that unlicensed experimental adjuvants were used, such as squalene.

2. Unlicensed experimental tablets know to troops as NAPS containing pyridostigmine bromide (PB). Administered to supposedly protect against Iraqi chemical weapons called nerve agents. Much research has been conducted which clearly links these with our ill health.

3. Depleted Uranium used as an antitank weapon without informing the troops on the ground of the extreme risks involved. This insidious weapon is already classified as a weapon of indiscriminate mass destruction by the United Nations but that organisation is brow beaten into submission by the USA/UK military Alliance. DU poisoning has led to cancers and leukaemia in many Gulf Veterans. Probably also responsible for the high number of miscarriages and birth defects for wives and children of Gulf Veterans. The NGV&FA has sponsored independent DU testing for Gulf Veterans in Canada. Because tests offered by the MOD were shown to be a hoax and completely dishonest.

4. Organophosphate insecticides. Rather than pay for the high temperature incineration of old stocks of these outlawed OP insecticides, the MOD had them shipped to the Gulf and used. Our tents and clothes were sprayed regularly. This despite grave warnings by environmental health experts.

"Squalene was found by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in five lots of the AVIP anthrax vaccine. The discovery of serum anti-squalene antibodies and the development of a test to detect these antibodies has made it possible to see that links appear to exist between the contaminated AVIP vaccine lots, the illness experienced by post-1997 vaccine recipients, the illness experienced by non-deployed 1990-1991-era patients, and the illness in deployed 1990-1991-era patients that has been referred to as GWS."

Rare Blood Infection Surfaces in Injured U.S. Soldiers

An unexpectedly high number of U.S. soldiers injured in the Middle East and Afghanistan are testing positive for a rare, hard-to-treat blood infection in military hospitals, Army doctors reported on Thursday.

A total of 102 soldiers were found to be infected with the bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii. The infections occurred among soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and three other sites between Jan. 1, 2002, and Aug. 31, 2004.

Although it was not known where the soldiers contracted the infections, the Army said the recent surge highlighted a need to improve infection control in military hospitals.

Eighty-five of the bloodstream infections occurred among soldiers serving in Iraq, the area around Kuwait and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army said in a report published on Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Military hospitals typically see about one case per year.

Army investigators said they did not know whether the soldiers contracted the infections on the battlefield, during medical treatment on the front line or following evacuation to Walter Reed, Landstuhl and other military medical locations. -Reuters

The Government should "publicly acknowledge" that 6,000 British veterans are suffering from Gulf war syndrome and set up a fund to compensate them, an independent inquiry concluded yesterday.

The inquiry, chaired by Lord Lloyd of Berwick, a former law lord, said it was "beyond reasonable doubt" that Gulf war veterans were likely to develop illnesses over and above those they might expect if they had not gone to war.

There had now been three authoritative UK studies into Gulf war syndrome, two funded by the MoD and one by the US government, all of which concluded that troops who went to war were twice as likely to become ill as those who did not.

Announcing the conclusions, Lord Lloyd was scathing about the MoD's refusal to take part, saying it had "lost a valuable opportunity to start the process of reconciliation with the ill veterans" that would have cost it nothing.

These were possible exposure to nerve gas, the widespread use of organophosphate pesticides to spray tents, the use of multiple vaccines, and the use of Naps (nerve agent pre-treatment set) tablets to protect troops against nerve agents.

The inquiry expressed particular concern over the use of the whooping cough vaccine to speed up the effect of the anthrax vaccine.

The inquiry came close to suggesting a cover-up, noting that the MoD had denied knowledge of a Department of Health fax warning of serious side-effects, sent before the anthrax vaccine was administered to the bulk of the troops.

"It is not known what, if any, action was taken by the MoD on receiving this fax," the inquiry said.

"We can see no good reason why they should not accept Gulf war syndrome. - source

 

Canadian military accused of Agent Orange cover up

June 23, 2005 - Canadian military officials are being accused of covering up the use of the deadly chemical agent Agent Orange and other defoliants during the 1950s and 1960s at a New Brunswick base.

At a public meeting attended by at least 200 people, defence officials said only a small amount of the herbicide was used, over a total of seven days between 1966 and 1967 at the army base to clear foliage to prevent fires during artillery training and to clear the view for soldiers.

The American military was also given permission by the Canadian military to test Agent Orange, Agent Purple, and Agent White during the Vietnam War on less than 500 acres of the Canadian base.

Thursday's public meeting followed in the aftermath of recent media reports that a U.S. army report indicated the use of Agent Purple, which is considered three-times more toxic than Agent Orange, as part of the spraying program.

When revelations about the use of Agent Purple first surfaced in mid-June, retired sergeant, Earl Graves, said, "They were out in the exercise area and the planes flew over spraying and they were told to just put ponchos over their head, that it wouldn't hurt them."

He said 170 soldiers in his regiment died of cancer and many of them died young.

At the public meeting held Thursday afternoon, angry and fearful civilians and veterans voiced fears that the chemicals were responsible for illnesses later developed.

Veteran John Chisholm said soldiers were told the sprays were harmless and to keep their mouths shut. "Now we found out this stuff here is killing us. No wonder all my buddies are dead."

The Defence Department said Thursday that it was conducting tests to determine the dioxin level in the soil and consulting with the U.S. military to find out the exact carcinogen levels in the sprays - parmedia

Pesticides and Polio (CNS POISONS and CNS DISEASE)
[this part by Jabbed on indymedia]

a disconcerting correlation

Why is it, if you ask those who lived through the polio epidemics in the 50's whether more than one person per houshold had the disease, you will by hard pushed to find more than one family member affected ?

How can this be possible if polio is a highly communicable disease caused by a virus ?

"In 1945, against the advice of investigators who had studied the pharmacology of the compound and found it dangerous for all forms of life, DDT (chlorophenoethane, dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) was released in the United States and other countries for general use by the public as an insecticide."

"Central nervous system diseases (CNS) such as polio are actually the physiological and symptomatic manifestations of the ongoing government- and industry-sponsored inundation of the world's populace with central nervous system poisons."

So why vaccinate the entire world against polio - with contaminated vaccines ?

Is CANCER A VIRUS?

is it CAUSED by a virus?

"In 1920 Royal Rife identified the human cancer virus using the worlds most powerful microscope (which he created), cultured the virus (on salted pork, the best growing medium), and injected it into rats. These injections caused cancer in every one of the rats (all 400 of them). Later he was able to find a frequency of electro-magnetic energy that would cause the cancer virus to self destruct when within that energy field. He created a device that emitted that energy field and was successful at destroying cancer viruses inside patients who were within 10 feet of the device. "
