A Word on 'Swine Flu'

The H1N1 virus is spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. In fact, the CDC estimates that 100 million people will have been mildly infected with the H1N1 virus by the end of the summer.

Based on the idea that exposure to a virus will cause the development of immunity to the virus, doesn’t it seem as though these same people would have developed a natural immunity to the virus? That is the basic theory behind vaccinations. So why is there a rush to implement a massive vaccination program?

Follow the money. The U.S. government has already spent over $1.8 billion dollars (our tax dollars) in purchasing vaccine antigen, virus and adjuvant from five pharmaceutical companies. So what did the government buy with our money, who got it and how much did they receive?

Bulk vaccine Bulk virus Bulk oil and water antigen concentrate adjuvant
Sanofi-Pasteur 252,425,000
GSK 38,000,000 215,400,000 (AS03/AS04)
Novartis 496,334,450 482,810,470 (MF-59)
CSL Biotherapies 180,000,000
Medimmune 90,000,000 61,020,000 1,056,759,450 61,020,000 698,210,470

Grand total: $1,815,989,920

That’s an incredible amount of money to spend. What is an adjuvant? An adjuvant is a substance that is added to the vaccine to improve the immune response. The adjuvants our government has purchased are: AS03, AS04 and MF-59.

MF-59 is an oil based adjuvant that contains squalene. Squalene is a highly inflammatory substance that been shown to induce hyperimmune responses. It is this hyperimmune response that causes problems. Studies in humans given from 10 to 20 ppb (parts per billion) of squalene showed severe immune system impact and development of autoimmune disorders.

Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. This remains a controversial subject and is related to the anthrax vaccine given to the military. One study found that deployed Persian Gulf War Syndrome patients were significantly more likely to have squalene antibodies (95 percent) than asymptomatic Gulf War veterans. This raises the possibility that squalene was used in the anthrax vaccine given to soldiers prior to deployment in the Persian Gulf War to better induce immunity. In August 1991, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease). These can all be considered autoimmune diseases.

AS03 and AS04 are proprietary adjuvants of GlaxoSmithKline. It is very difficult to find any useful information about them. What I can tell you is that these adjuvants both contain aluminum.

Aluminum is neurotoxic even in minute amounts. The Academy of Pediatrics implicates aluminum in autoimmune conditions. These conditions include chronic fatigue syndrome and macrophagic myofasciitis. Macrophagic myofasciitis is a condition that causes profound weakness and multiple neurologic symptoms. Aluminum hydroxide is known to potently stimulate the immune system and to shift immune responses towards an inflammatory profile.7 Both the CDC and WHO are aware that aluminum is dangerous. It has also been suggested that aluminum toxicity is the real problem behind autism, SIDS and the side effects associated with the HPV vacccine.

At present AS04, AS03 and MF-59 have not been approved by the FDA for use in the United States. However, on July 30, 2009, US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius confirms that the Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccine will be laced with the mercury based preservative thimerosal ...
