If vaccinations are truly the silver bullet against deadly diseases, and their safety is indeed based upon concrete science, then there should be no fear as to investigating the matter further.<br /><strong><em>Read more below.</em></strong><br />Why then, is mainstream media along with many medical establishments refusing to discuss the science behind vaccinating to a proficient degree?<br />You could argue that it’s <strong>“so stupid that they don’t want to waste their time on it”,</strong> but if that were the case then why are so many doctors exposing the health hazards of vaccines? Even if it so so stupid that it made absolutely no sense, wouldn’t the mainstream media pick it up to get higher ratings?<br />Wouldn’t the <strong>“loonies”</strong> bring some viewers to their station, to laugh at their “insanity”...?<br /><strong><a href="http://americareclaimed.com/?p=675"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE</span></a></strong>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-51795456297655473242009-12-18T16:30:00.000-08:002009-12-18T16:36:27.720-08:00Student Suspended And Assaulted For Handing Out ANTI-VACCINE FlyersThe flyers consisted of simple medical studies that disprove vaccine safety claims by the CDC.

After being threatened with arrest and removal from school property, I went back to class.<br />When I was dismissed at 1:30 I ran back to the clinic. After being physical blocked by a public health official I slid under her arm and began peacefully offering nurses more information. This is when my science teacher Scott Wermerskirchen Assaulted me by pushing, bumping, grabbing, and aggressively ‘bearhugging’ me in an attempt to get my video camera.<br />The whole altercation was captured on multiple security cameras and seen by over 20 witnesses. The school is refusing to release any video footage, and has not taken action against this teacher. However, the punishment for handing out flyers was a 2 day out of school suspension which was issued to me.

When kids return to school after the holiday break, each class has the opportunity to get a free pizza party – if they sign up for the shots.<br /></span>It’s a simple fact--kids don’t like vaccinations – even when they can get them in a spray.<br />Their parents, like Leslie Ethridge however, are often eager to get their kids protected, “Your children get 20 some odd inoculations, this is just another one, so if it’s available you should get the shot.”<br />But when Detroit schools – both public and private-- sent home permission slips for students to get H1N1 vaccine at school, the return rate was only about ten percent.<br />Dr. Walter Davis, Detroit Pandemic Flu Coordinator, told us, “talking to principals and some parents we find that a lot of them are never receiving consent forms.”<br />The Detroit Health Department has already been working especially hard to get the vaccine into the community.<br />For instance, today parents attending the Christmas program at the Foreign Language Immersion School on Outer Drive had the chance to get shots for themselves and their children before or after the program....<br /><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;"><a href="http://www.wxyz.com/news/local/story/Fighting-Swine-Flu-With-Pepperoni/EhuwIPzsFEK-yh1OqX2eug.cspx?rss=785">READ MORE </a></span></strong><br /><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://wxyz.img.entriq.net/dayportcore/dpm/DayPortPlayers.js"></script><br /><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">DayPortPlayer.newPlayer({articleID:"25015",bannerAdObjectID:"null",videoAdObjectID:"null",videoAdConDefID:"2",playerInstanceID:"24FAD9E0-DC70-2532-414F-7E6F051C4C2F",domain:"wxyz.dayport.com",rootCategory:"null",categoryID:"16",accPos:"CCTVI.NEWS.LOCAL",accSite:"WXYZ"});</script>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-3920280567585067302009-12-18T16:11:00.000-08:002009-12-18T16:17:18.769-08:00Sanofi-Pasteur Removes Thimerosal Free Vaccine from Market<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisED0e2ZI3v1T-P8ETRovKUG3eT_aUyjVP1gz6tBstKaPhnA5DoNJME1nbst9QCjTqUMWi1ZdjqM8izEAhbdGw8oroJ7S6_6o3iZ1SwtjawoahI38QXbb8lajMQbxuOTl_lTrYRxOLujmT/s1600-h/swine+flu+sanofi+pasteur.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 140px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416734640268937394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisED0e2ZI3v1T-P8ETRovKUG3eT_aUyjVP1gz6tBstKaPhnA5DoNJME1nbst9QCjTqUMWi1ZdjqM8izEAhbdGw8oroJ7S6_6o3iZ1SwtjawoahI38QXbb8lajMQbxuOTl_lTrYRxOLujmT/s200/swine+flu+sanofi+pasteur.jpg" /></a>On December 15, 2009 the CDC released a statement announcing the recall of 800,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine from the market. This was a story that should have received widespread coverage in the national media but, instead, largely died out at the local news level. Although some local stations made the recall their top story, many simply reported it as if it were no big deal and mentioned nothing else about it in subsequent broadcasts. Yet you would think that the recall of close to 1 million vaccines would spark the national interest, especially when the vaccines are for a “pandemic” that was initially supposed to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans and disrupt the entire society.<br />If one chooses to believe the hype about H1N1 then he/she should be quite worried about the reasons given for the recall – that it is not potent enough. The fact that the company who manufactures the vaccine is Sanofi-Pasteur is also significant because Sanofi-Pasteur made a similar mistake with the H5N1 vaccine in 2006. At the time, H5N1 was the virus that was supposed to kill us all. It seems that the lack of potency issue is a recurring theme with this particular company demonstrating, at best, a dangerous level of incompetence...<br /><div><strong><a href="http://www.infowars.com/sanofi-pasteur-removes-thimerosal-free-vaccine-from-market/"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE</span></a></strong></div>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-44870330926862849632009-12-18T16:06:00.000-08:002009-12-18T16:11:10.419-08:00Silicon Valley officials: Flu vaccine given to kids was safe despite recall<object id="otvPlayer" width="400" height="268"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&station=kgo&section=&mediaId=7173092&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&site="><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><br /><embed id="otvPlayer" width="400" height="268" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&station=kgo§ion=&mediaId=7173092&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&site="></embed><br /><br /></object><br />Federal health officials Tuesday recalled 800,000 doses of an H1N1 vaccine geared for young children, affecting 900 doses used by Santa Clara County, and an unknown number used by other valley health care providers such as Kaiser Permanente.<br />The recall is for the shots used for children ages 6 months to 3 years old, made by Sanofi Pasteur, which did a quality control test and found some of the vaccine doses weren't strong enough.<br />Santa Clara County used those particular doses at free clinics held at the county fairgrounds Dec. 6 and 12, and at the California Children's Services clinic on Empey Way in San Jose.

Decades of chronic underfunding of public health meant that many of the core systems that would have been invaluable to have in place during an emergency were not at-the ready when H1N1 emerged,"</strong> the document asserts.<br />From fiscal years 2008 and 2009, 27 states <strong>"disproportionately"</strong> cut their public health budgets in response to the economic crisis, says the report, <strong>"Ready or Not? Protecting the Public's Health from Disease, Disasters and Bioterrorism."<br /></strong><strong>"Federal funding for public health emergency preparedness and hospital preparedness has declined 27 percent since [fiscal] 2005 when adjusted for inflation. While additional funding has been provided to respond to emergencies, this is less effective than ongoing support for preparedness,"</strong> states the document prepared by the Trust for America's Health, a nonpartisan think tank, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.<br />Most states have failed to develop plans for accommodating the massive influx of hospital patients that could follow a biological attack, the report concludes (see GSN, Jan. 29). In addition, the nation lacks a <strong>"federal clearinghouse to share information on best practices for planning and development of crisis standards of care." </strong><br /><div><strong><a href="http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20091216_6138.php"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE</span></a></strong></div>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-12421334694690411312009-12-18T15:51:00.000-08:002009-12-18T16:00:34.692-08:00Scientists discover natural flu-fighting proteins<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguHIjrpdHdUTYPqpMOHpNgqqB6hVP4vgSMHgS1tc48FeOb_Y534eEYCcQG6jfoPvvXTUpTbqpErUTsVKmSSO5NNtGG-Dh7kIk8lQ7n5nevWzwi6uQ-CpW0L4R3iNIKFc03XJhaMl5QOvyn/s1600-h/swine+flu+lab+1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 148px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416729912998281394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguHIjrpdHdUTYPqpMOHpNgqqB6hVP4vgSMHgS1tc48FeOb_Y534eEYCcQG6jfoPvvXTUpTbqpErUTsVKmSSO5NNtGG-Dh7kIk8lQ7n5nevWzwi6uQ-CpW0L4R3iNIKFc03XJhaMl5QOvyn/s200/swine+flu+lab+1.jpg" /></a>CHICAGO-<span style="color:#009900;">U.S. researchers have discovered antiviral proteins in cells that naturally fight off influenza infections, a finding that may lead to better ways to make vaccines and protect people against the flu.They said a family of genes act as cell sentries that guard cells from an invading influenza virus,</span> the team reported on Thursday in the journal Cell.<br /><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">"This prevents the virus from even getting into the cell,"</span></strong> said Stephen Elledge of Harvard Medical School and a Howard Hughes Investigator at Brigham & Women's Hospital.<br /><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">"It is out there fighting the flu all of the time,"</span></strong> Elledge said in a telephone interview.<br />Elledge and colleagues used a new research technique called RNA interference in which they systematically turned off individual genes and then exposed cells to the flu virus.<br />Using this method, they discovered a small family of flu-fighting proteins called interferon-indicible transmembrane proteins that boost the body's natural resistance to viral infection.<br /><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">"If you get rid of it (the protein), the virus can replicate 5 to 10 times faster.

For now, it is only immunizing in less than 25 percent of its more than 7,140 stores...<br /><div><strong><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091216/hl_nm/us_walgreen"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE<br /></span></a></strong></div>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-81861768194315876022009-12-18T15:27:00.000-08:002009-12-18T15:35:15.031-08:00Computer Generated Cartoon Peddles Dangerous Vaccine in Kansas<span style="color:#ff0000;">Kathleen Sebelius’ HHS has teamed up with Kansas governor Mark Parkinson to push the H1N1 vaccination on children in the state. In order to convince parents to get their children injected with the vaccine, the government has released a series of slick PSAs, including one featuring Parkinson and <strong>“Sid the Science Kid,”</strong> a character from the computer generated show on PBS produced by Jim Henson Productions.<br /></span><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8FPpkVGK74o&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8FPpkVGK74o&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />In September, only 40 percent of parents said they would get their children vaccinated with the experimental drug. Among parents who do not plan to get their children vaccinated about half are worried about possible side effects of the vaccine.<br /><strong>“Vaccinations are the best way to protect our children from the H1N1 flu,”</strong> Parkinson declares in the PSA. <strong>“I say that not just as a Governor, but as a parent. The Department of Health and Human Services has done a great job of making H1N1 vaccines available throughout Kansas, but now it’s up to us to make sure our kids are vaccinated.”<br /></strong>Neither Parkinson or the animated character mention the fact the Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline vaccines are experimental and were not approved by the FDA. Earlier this year, the U.S. and Canada skipped all of the normally required safety and efficacy procedures and allowed for the massive testing of the novel adjuvant vaccine on thousands of paid clinical trial participants.<br />Numerous doctors have warned about the dangers of the H1N1 vaccination. In late September, Dr. Kent Holtorf told Fox News the vaccine would contain high levels of the adjuvant squalene and he advised against taking it. In August, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen told Russia Today scientists involved in creating previous vaccinations told family and friends not to take the H1N1 vaccine...<br /><strong><a href="http://www.infowars.com/computer-generated-cartoon-peddles-dangerous-vaccine-in-kansas/"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE<br /></span></a></strong>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860793028440108661.post-36589302982093305042009-12-18T15:23:00.000-08:002009-12-18T15:26:59.453-08:00"Sanofi recalling some H1N1 vaccine over potency":CDC<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2PeJEfjWzStnoebr6KQs-TIoKo3bSVMJpppJ3CzFJ3-oUM8RAreVMNQtyVLoqZeHy7KPunK_8U8BQKdt_4QGJOXc9MWFZzyaWBRp7HY5A0kH1n11eOVl1sBHzMaw5akPqJxQvK4QfJZa/s1600-h/CDC+logo+1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416721718765078018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2PeJEfjWzStnoebr6KQs-TIoKo3bSVMJpppJ3CzFJ3-oUM8RAreVMNQtyVLoqZeHy7KPunK_8U8BQKdt_4QGJOXc9MWFZzyaWBRp7HY5A0kH1n11eOVl1sBHzMaw5akPqJxQvK4QfJZa/s200/CDC+logo+1.jpg" /></a>WASHINGTON-Vaccine maker Sanofi-Aventis SA.PA> is recalling four lots of its pediatric H1N1 swine flu vaccine because it is not as potent as it should be, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.<br />There is no safety concern and children vaccinated from the lots already will not need to be re-vaccinated, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.<br />The affected vaccines are pre-filled syringes for children under age 3, the CDC said in a message to state and local health officers, public information officers and doctors' groups.

The sign is causing a bit of controversy because in the first place it does not have H1N1 on it but the H5N1 which is bird flue. The sign also has a "biohazard" sign on it which has nothing to do with toxic waste, the second sign is a "evacuation route" sign that they use their incase of hurricanes.<br />The other thing people wonder about is why does this sign show in that area but the Jones County department does not cover that area. That is a minor issue. The real issue is what are they warning against? If they wanted to warn against swine flu they would of used H1N1.<br />In the sign business a sign like that will cost a few dollars to make and the space rented to put up the sign will also cost a few decent dollars so the excuse cant be that the design looks like that, either they are uneducated or they want to hype and drive fear in people.<br />Why are they showing a evacuation sign? Do they want people to be prepared to "evacuate"...?<br /><div><strong><a href="http://fto.co.za/news/biohazard-and-h5n1-sign-fear-mongering-jacksonville-north-carolina-usa-2009111615806.html"><span style="color:#33ffff;">READ MORE</span></a></strong></div>As in the days of Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09872130281970707529noreply@blogger.com0
