Below;
Risks of the Swine flu vaccine;
thimerosal, squalene, and cancerous animal cells are far from the only concerns. Among other potentially dangerous chemicals and substances often found in influenza vaccines are formaldehyde, antibiotics, and even ethylene glycol, known as anti-freeze. Various health experts have varying opinions about the effects of all of these additives, but many doctors still warn against them.
Another cause for concern surfaced in the United Kingdom when the government’s Health Protection Agency sent a letter to senior neurologists warning that the new swine flu vaccine is linked to the deadly nerve disease known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), the Daily Mail reported in an article entitled “Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America.” The risk of contracting the paralysis-inducing illness was reportedly eight times greater in those who received the infamous government swine flu vaccine of 1976, which killed more people than the actual virus. The leaked letter warned recipients to keep an eye open for GBS and report it immediately.
Many vaccine opponents go much further than highlighting the potential risks, with some making unsubstantiated claims that it will be used as a tool for mass depopulation or eugenics. Some point to anecdotal evidence like comments by Obama’s science czar, who called for drastic population reduction methods in a book called Ecoscience. But what is certain is that the vaccine carries risks — a lot of them according to experts.
The people who seem totally convinced about the inoculations’ safety and efficacy — or who are at least downplaying the potential risks and side effects — appear to be mostly government bureaucrats or people with vested interests. Virtually every medicinal product carries some risk, and these vaccines are no different. To say otherwise is disingenuous.
What is important is that the population be educated about the potential complications and then decide with their families and healthcare providers what approach they would like to take, taking into consideration the risks of the vaccine and of the swine flu. It should be an individual decision without bureaucratic interference or propaganda.
Is the Flu Shot Safe?
The flu vaccine has been available in America sine 1945. The purpose of this vaccine is to help your body build immunity against harmful organisms that make you sick. Your body, however, is equipped to do this naturally.
The mucous membranes, the vehicle by which most disease-causing organisms enter the body, has a defense system of its own called the IgA immune system. Disease-causing organisms kick the IgA immune system into action to fight off the invaders. When a vaccine is injected into the body, the IgA immune system is skipped over and your body’s immune system is jolted into action.
Your body’s immune system being prodded into action this way is unnatural. Do you realize what is in a vaccine? It could contain either killed or live viruses, thimerasol, antifreeze, formaldehyde, carbolic acid, Neomycin and/or streptomycin.
Thimerasol, a preservative that is 50 times more toxic than regular mercury, is suspected of causing some children to become autistic. Other disorders associated with this drug are attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, as well as speech and language deficiencies.
None of us want antifreeze or formaldehyde injected into our bodies. Carbolic acid is a clear and sweet-smelling liquid that is poisonous if touched or swallowed. Neomycin and streptomycin are antibiotics.
According to the news we are in danger of a swine flu pandemic. Everyone is being urged to get a flue shot. A pandemic is a widespread epidemic that affects people in many different countries. What are the symptoms of the swine flu? Should we run to be vaccinated?
Symptoms of the swine flu are the same as symptoms of the regular flu – fever, headache, achy joints, runny nose and/or sore throat, lethargy, no appetite, vomiting and/or diarrhea. So how do you know if you have the swine flu? The only way to know for sure is by laboratory verification. It is impossible to diagnosis yourself.
In 1976, a massive swine flu vaccination campaign took place. Only 1 person died from the swine flu, the vaccine killed 25. Hundreds more were crippled. The government was sued for a total of $1.3 billion dollars. Now the vaccine makers and federal officials have been made immune from lawsuits. So if the vaccine has detrimental effects on you or your children, you won’t be paid a single cent.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2006 – the DHHS Secretary is allowed to make the manufacturers of vaccines and drugs used in combating a declared public health emergency immune from liability. Since they have no fear of being sued for billions of dollars, they have no incentive to test vaccines and ensure they are safe.
You can protect yourself from catching the flu without subjecting yourself to a flu shot.
1) Get plenty of sleep.
2) Don’t stuff your face with junk food. In other words, avoid sugar
and processed foods as much as possible.
3) Exercise will naturally strengthen your body’s immune system.
4) Wash your hands with soap and water to loosen and remove
germs that you have unknowingly picked up.
If you would happen to catch the flu, don’t panic. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids (my favorite when I don’t feel well is hot tea). Chicken noodle soup has been scientifically proven to help one get better. The steam from a hot bowl of it helps clear up congestion. Added spices such as garlic and pepper thin mucous to make breathing easier.
You can receive these benefits from store bought chicken noodle soup, but homemade is still the best.
I have never had a flu shot and have only had the flu once during my 43 years. I do not plan on getting a flu shot now. Should you run to be vaccinated? That is a decision you need to make for yourself, just please investigate first and make it an informed one. The new swine flu vaccine has not been thoroughly tested for safety. Those taking this vaccine are being used as guinea pigs. I don’t know about you, but I have no desire to be a guinea pig. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25528.asp
What do Vaccines Typically Contain?
The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that have been ‘attenuated’ (weakened & made less harmful).
Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin.
In addition to the viruses & other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum & squalene.
The purpose of an immune adjuvant is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against.
Adjuvants allow a reduction in the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual. Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns: exactly the goal of government & the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make $-millions from their vaccines!!
Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines?
YES!
The U.S. & U.K. government have contracts with several drug companies to develop & produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis & GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines. The adjuvant? Squalene.
Is Squalene Benign?
Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.
A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis.
What Does Squalene Do to Humans?
Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. Squalene in olive oil, entering your body thru ingestion, is beneficial thanks to its antioxidant properties.
The difference between “good” & “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry. It incites your immune system to attack ALL the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant!!
Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule WHEREVER IT FINDS IT … including places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to your nervous system.
Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene!
‘MF59′ (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.

New Vaccines On “Fast Track” To Cause More Harm Than Good
September 3rd, 2009 | Author: Blake Pertuset http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com/blog/tag/vaccine
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on June 11 that they had raised the pandemic level of the swine flu from phase 5 to 6. Phase 6 is the highest level on their scale which reflects the rate at which a virus is spread, not how severe it is. Recently, more information on this has come to light. On August 6, the WHO’s website released a statement in which they confirmed that “mock-up” vaccines have been circulating in an effort to speed up the process of approving “fast track” manufacturing and distribution of vaccines. What this means is that people who were lining up for flu vaccinations were instead receiving the actual flu itself, though it was a strain that hadn’t circulated in humans for some time. The real purpose for this was to ensure that the virus was widespread enough to approve new vaccines for use before any testing was able to be conducted. In fact, the WHO itself stated that “Time constraints mean that clinical data at the time when pandemic vaccines are first administered will inevitably be limited. Further testing of safety and effectiveness will need to take place after administration of the vaccine has begun.” GlaxoSmithKline, who is the manufacturer of the vaccines, has said on record that “Clinical trials will be limited, due to the need to provide the vaccine to governments as quickly as possible. Additional studies will therefore be required and conducted after the vaccine is made available.” This really boils down to the fact that anyone and everyone who gets the vaccine for swine flu is, by definition, a test subject. This new vaccine has been labeled a “strain change” rather than an entirely new one, which will require much less information on its safety to be submitted before approval. In the US, manufacturers are allowed to submit safety data as it becomes available when using the same process to make a vaccine rather than before it is released.
Vaccines are intended to build resistance and immunity to harmful organisms that cause illness and disease, but your body’s immune system is already designed to do this. The difference is that your immune system will fight off any foreign objects as they enter your body through normal means such as mucous membranes. When these organisms are introduced via atypical avenues, the body’s immune system will essentially switch into overdrive mode to seek and destroy the object wherever it can be found. Enter squalene, an oil molecule found naturally in the body with antioxidant properties that can normally be found through the nervous system, and brain. Squalene is being used as an adjuvant, or additive, to the swine flu vaccine so that less of the vaccine itself is required, thus allowing more individual doses to be made available. The problem therein is that once introduced in an abnormal fashion, your immune system will begin to attack all the squalene in your body, not just what is introduced via the vaccine. This raises many alarms, because there is now great potential for damage to be done to the nervous system as the naturally stored squalene is under fire. This can cause effects like many other auto-immune diseases in which the body basically begins to attack itself.
On July 29, a letter from the UK’s Health Protection Agency that was intended to reach about 600 neurologists was leaked. This letter was intended to warn these doctors of a potential increase in Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which can be triggered by the swine flu vaccine. GBS is a brain disorder that often causes paralysis and inability to breath, thereby making it lethal in many cases. 500 cases of GBS were detected during the US swine flu pandemic of 1976. During that outbreak more people died from the vaccine and its side effects than from the flu itself, and the US government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to the families of those affected. The 1976 vaccine was pulled after 10 weeks, once the link between it and GBS became so apparent and the payouts continued to grow exponentially.
The WHO, along with many health officials and vaccine manufacturers have been working since 2007 on this plan of distributing both disease and vaccine, primarily due to the 2006 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) act. For the many that are unfamiliar with this act, it was designed to protect health officials and vaccine manufacturers from any legal recourse due to vaccinations or drugs. It states that unless a person can prove that a drug or vaccine manufacturer deliberately and willfully caused harm by their product, no legal action can be taken against them. Considering the amounts that were paid in 1976 it’s no wonder that they would wish to protect themselves in future endeavors of this magnitude; especially when this vaccine contains ingredients from formaldehyde, antifreeze, and thimerosal (mercury).
This information is intended solely to inform those who need to be informed, as you’re not likely to see these facts on the numerous swine flu and vaccine related reports on the evening news. Once these vaccines are produced they will first be required for school children, followed by the elderly and health care workers. Another staggering fact is that half of the health workers in Hong Kong have already refused to be vaccinated over concerns of its effectiveness, and worry of potential side effects.

New Vaccines Contain Various Poisons
August 4th, 2009 | Author: Blake Pertuset
The US governmeny has commissioned two pharmaceutical companies to fast track a vaccine for the swine flu, and have designated young children as the first in line to receive them. The problem with any forced vaccine is just that, it’s a forced vaccine. Vaccines are primarily dead or weakened viruses, with the intent of getting your body ready to fight off the real thing. The difference is that vaccines include a plethora of other chemical agents, and ingredients designed to make the body go over the top in searching out and destroying any viruses. Flu vaccines alone contain ingredients also present in antifreeze and formaldehyde. The additive in these swine flu vaccines that seems to be causing the most stir is squalene. Squalene has not been approved for this use in the US, and actually caused rheumatoid arthritis when injected into rats. The real problem is that squalene occurs naturally in the body, and when it’s used in a vaccine it will cause the body to seek it out where ever it may be hiding, and destroy it. This can lead to all sorts of other long term problems. Maybe Alec Baldwin was right. Maybe it’s time to move to France.
