What They Don't Tell You About Vaccination Dangers Can Kill You or Ruin Your Life

Posted May 30, 2010; date of online publication unknown
Because more and more reports are appearing citing vaccine failure, their manufacturers answer is to make the vaccines more potent. They do this by making the immune adjuvants more powerful or adding more of them. The problem with this approach is that in the very young, the nutritionally deficient and the aged, over-stimulating the immune system can have an opposite effect--it can paralyze the immune system.
This is especially prevalent with nutritional deficiency.

Safety rules can't keep up with biotech industry
by Andrew Pollack and Duff Wilson -
New York Times - Thursday May 27, 2010
"Whether handling deadly pathogens for biowarfare research, harnessing viruses to do humankind's bidding or genetically transforming cells to give them powers not found in nature, the estimated 232,000 employees in the nation's most sophisticated biotechnology labs work amid imponderable hazards. And some critics say the modern biolab often has fewer federal safety regulations than a typical blue-collar factory. Even the head of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration acknowledges that his agency's 20th-century rules have not yet caught up with the 21st-century biotech industry. 'Worker safety cannot be sacrificed on the altar of innovation,' said David Michaels, OSHA's new director. 'We have inadequate standards for workers exposed to infectious materials.' [...] three trends are stoking concern among safety advocates. In the wake of the 2001 anthrax attacks, the federal government stepped up research involving biowarfare threats, like anthrax, Ebola and many other o...

U.S. government stockpiles new, safer smallpox vaccine
by Steve Sternberg -
USA Today - Tuesday May 25, 2010
"The U.S. government has begun bolstering its smallpox vaccine stockpile with a new version designed to close a gap that left millions vulnerable to a bioterror[ism] attack. The vaccine, Denmark-based Bavarian Nordic's Imvamune, is made with modified vaccinia ankara, a safer alternative to the cowpox vaccines used for generations. Company officials say the first shipments arrived in the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile last week, within hours of a World Health Organization ceremony marking eradication of the disease, widely regarded as one of the great public health achievements of all time. [...] Though natural transmission has ceased, the virus lives in freezers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and possibly [sic] in Russia, where Soviet scientists are believed to have created tons of weaponized smallpox [virus]. The breakup of the Soviet Union and the rise of global terrorism led the USA a decade ago to begin stockpiling vaccine."

Biological warfare tests by British WW2 scientists revealed in secret files
by Nick Collins -
London Telegraph - Monday May 17, 2010
"Cholera, dysentery, typhoid and foot-and-mouth disease were all trialled as potential weapons of war, according to previously secret files released to the National Archives. The list revealed in the new documents demonstrates the breadth of the British research into biological weapons during the conflict, which was already known to have included experiments with anthrax [spores]. Experts recognised that 'biological warfare' was against the 1925 Geneva protocol, but still carried out a number of tests, the majority of them at Porton Down, near Salisbury, and Pirbright in Surrey. They gave reports to the War Cabinet's Porton experiments subcommittee, which recognised that 'bacteriological warfare' was against the 1925 Geneva protocol, The Guardian reported. The minutes were classified as 'secret' and 'to be kept under lock and key'. The use of biological weapons was not seen as 'likely to achieve a decisive effect' but preparation was thought to be necessary in order to defend against s...

The US and Viet Nam are just NOW talking about the effects of Agent Orange
Friday September 25, 2009
I just posted this article under the VA section of this site, with no small amount of astonishment that here we are, about 40 years later, and our government is just NOW willing to talk about the Vietnamese who were injured by Agent Orange, the same as our own troops were? Just now?

Presidential
Candidate George W. Bush, US Medicine. Sep. 2000:
"The Defense Department's Anthrax Immunization Program
has raised numerous health concerns and caused fear among
the individuals whose lives it touches. I don't feel the
[Clinton] administration's anthrax immunization program
has taken into account the effect of this program on the
soldiers in our military and their families. Under my administration,
soldiers and their families will be taken into consideration."

Presidential
Candidate Sen. John McCain, San Diego Union Tribune. Feb.
26, 2000:
"I think that there should be a pause. I think that
they have not done the job in educating the members of the
military, and I would pause and I would get the best scientific
and medical people together and make a better argument than
they've made ... I'm not saying that I know enough to say
that it should never be, but right now members of the armed
services, the Guard and reserves are not accepting it."

Secretary Rumsfeld, Pentagon News Briefings, Oct. 18, 2001:
"We're going to try and save it. There have been other
efforts that have failed over a period of years. And it
may or may not be savable ... it's not very well underway,
as you point out ... they have not been approved by the
FDA, as I understand it. They do not have what looks to
be -- well, I shouldn't be characterizing a private entity
that way, but things have not been going swimmingly for
them ..."

Sen.
Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, CNN. Dec. 18, 2001:
"The vaccine is a dated vaccine, it's an old vaccine.
There are very real and potentially serious side effects
from the vaccine and anyone who elects to receive the vaccine
needs to be made aware of that. I do not recommend widespread
inoculation for people with the vaccine in the Hart Building
...There are too many side effects and if there is limited
chance of exposure the side effects would far outweigh any
potential advantage."

Al
Gore, Presidential Candidate, Apr. 11, 2000:
"I feel the concerns are genuine. I also know that
sometimes concerns of this sort are based on confusing data
that is hard to interpret. But based on the concerns I have
heard from military personnel directly, I think we are justified
in taking a closer look -- I think that some increased sensitivity
to the kinds of questions that are being raised is needed."
