The Global Flu H1N1 Variant Crisis
"Surpise! Suprise! See whats going down"...
*SPECIAL EDITION*
UPDATES! BREAKING! OPINIONS!
Welcome to this special edition of RHS1 Earthwatch...
No doubt you have heard about the global pandemic of H1N1 (the piggy flu monster).
Well I was talking to my dentist the other day I said "Bit problematic for you in your business, flu infection" he told me he had received the official guidelines for the precautions contra H1N1, he has to put a trash can in the waiting room for his patients to throw the used tissues into, thats it!
"Are you taking the vaccine" I asked..."No" he replied.
"Neither am I as I have not the slightest confidence in the pan global business machine called the pharmaceutical industry"...
Why do I have no confidence in the pharmaceutical industry? Read this report its long eh! Not a lot of pictures in it...Trust me! Persevere...You may learn something to your advantage...All the best...Indy
Swine Flu Vaccine
By Dr Derek Wong
Oct; 09. Hong Kong.
As the availability of vaccination against swine influenza draws near, I would like to give you a few details on how the vaccine is developed, and its possible safety and efficacy. I was a virologist who worked in a virology that is renowned for its experience in influenza viruses and SARS. It is a WHO collaborating laboratory for influenza viruses. It detected the first case of the previous pandemic virus (H3N2) in 1968 and the first human infection by avian H5N1 virus in 1997. It played a central role in the SARS crisis of 2003. My overall boss, Margaret Chan is now the Director-General of the WHO. My own educational website on virology is on the first page of Google for the term "virology".
My wife and both my daughters were infected by swine flu within the past couple of weeks. Their cases were laboratory confirmed but the severity of their illness was similar to the usual seasonal flu. So it is now completely academic whether we receive the vaccine or not, but I would like to give you some idea so you can make an informed decision.
1. Development of the vaccine(s)
The strain of virus used for the vaccine is chosen by the WHO and then given to prospective vaccine manufacturers for free. What happens is that a WHO panel will look at a large number of strains isolated from different parts of the world. They do not choose the most common strain but one they believe is most likely to cause most problems a year ahead. Obviously, there is a lot of chance involved and sometimes they have got it wrong. This would explain why the efficacy (protection rate) of influenza vaccines vary from year to year and also country to country. The normal quoted efficacy is only about 70%. However, since swine flu is a relatively new virus that has remained relatively stable. One would expect that the efficacy should be much higher.
2. Types of vaccines
Whole inactivated virus vaccines - this is the traditional method for manufacturing influenza vaccines. The virus is grown in embryonated eggs and then harvested and inactivated (killed). Safety concerns pertain mainly to allergy against components in eggs and also whether the virus has been properly killed or not.
Split or Subunit Vaccines - only the a small part of the virus is needed to elicit immunity i.e. the haeagglutinin protein and possibly the neuraminidase proteins. Therefore vaccine preparations consisting mainly of these two proteins would be less likely to elicit an allergy response against exogenous components in eggs. This appears to be the approach taken by a nasally applied vaccine developed for children in the U.S.
Other approaches - other approaches you may have heard include live attenuated vaccines and subunit vaccine produced by bacteria through genetic engineering. However, these vaccines are extremely unlikely to be developed and used in this instance because of the long development time and also worries over the use of live vaccines.
3. Issues to Consider
- 1. Although the vaccine strain is the same, the safety and efficacy will vary between different approaches to manufacturing and also different manufacturers. Also, the route of administration may be different and perhaps the number of doses required.
- 2. Even if the same vaccine is used, the efficacy rate is still likely to vary between different countries.
- 3. There will also be differences in the route of administration and doses required for different vaccines. However, every manufacturer is trying their best to go for a one shot vaccine at the moment.
- 4. These vaccines would have been developed and approved in record time. However, the technology today is much better than 30 years ago during the swine flu vaccination of 1976. But still, much of the technology is still rather ancient compared to other medical technology.
- 5. Although the mortality rate appears to be no worse than the previous H3N2 seasonal flu. One must remember that it is almost certainly to be higher in the winter months, since co-infection with other viruses and bacteria are more common. Indeed, co-infection with parainfluenza virus appear to be a risk factor for fatal disease.
- 6. If you are not in a high risk group, it may be worthwhile to wait at least 2-4 weeks to see whether there are many adverse reactions reported. Another indicator would be the take-up rate among medical workers, especially doctors and nurses.
ALERT: Special Swine Flu Update
by: Dr. Mercola October 21 2009 USA
(RHS1...Reference is given it the first part of this article to videos which for technical reasons cannot be placed in this report. However it is not vital to the document that you view it as it simply proves what is said)
I, like many others, consider 60-Minutes an excellent source of journalism. Their executive producer, Don Hewitt died earlier this year after leading the program for 41 years to one of the most successful programs in the history of television. His guiding principle was to tell a story and is actually a strategy I am seeking to implement on this site.
Last Sunday, their lead story was no exception and followed the champion strategy of telling the story of a young high school football player who was infected with the H1N1 virus... 60 Minutes on H1N1 October 18, 2009
You can see the 60 minutes interview from 1977, over 30 years ago. This is in stark contrast to this segment. Admittedly it was done long after the damage was done but if you look at 4:15 you will see one of the CDS consultants clearly state he warned them of this danger and yet when the CDC head is confronted with this, he denies it. 60 Minutes Episode on H1N1 from 30 years ago
Do you think much has changed in the last 30 years? If anything, conflict of interest has gotten much worse.
This past Sunday's 60 Minutes segment did ask some hard questions to the Assistant Surgeon General. However, what was missing is that they didn't ask why CDC officials persist in telling the public that this H1N1 strain of influenza is quite dangerous when the experience of those in the southern hemisphere, which just finished their flu season, is in direct conflict with what the CDC is telling the American people.
Overall 60 Minutes did a fairly good, objective piece of journalism that told the truth. They even pressured the Assistant Surgeon General about the vaccine's safety. On one hand, she's hitching her safety statements to the fact that the H1N1 vaccine is similar to seasonal influenza vaccine, and therefore "safe," even though she realistically CAN'T say that the new H1N1 swine flu vaccine is safe, or that it has been thoroughly tested because it only has been tested for a few weeks.
On the other hand CDC officials are screaming that H1N1 is so different from the seasonal influenza strains that have circulated in the past few decades that a national alarm must be sounded and everyone needs to be so afraid that we all should get vaccinated to prevent a deadly pandemic. This is completely inconsistent and irrational logic.
Come on CDC, you simply can't have it both ways.
Questions that Were Are Not Being Asked
The interviewer on the 60 Minutes segment did ask some hard questions, but he, like most of the mainstream media did not ask important questions that are absolutely essential to understand precisely what is going on with this "pandemic"
There have been 81 children who have died from H1N1 in the US. These of course are tragic.
How many pediatric deaths occurred in children who:
Other Important Observations on the Segment
It is quite clear from the video that Luke did not get worse until after he visited the physician and was given an antipyretic and possibly Tamiflu. Certainly it could have been coincidence but it is an interesting observation.
No mention was made if Luke had been vaccinated for seasonal or H1N1?
Additionally there was no reference made to the last swine flu epidemic in the US when 50 million people got the swine flu vaccine and more people died from the vaccine than the swine flu itself -- and that's not counting all those that developed permanent neurological damage.
Why is no one reminding the public of this well documented and vitally important part of vaccine history?
Your Immune System is Perfectly Capable of Fighting H1N1
If 99.9% of the people are not having any serious complications from the infection, it would seem perfectly rational to believe that minor lifestyle changes could have dramatic effects on fighting this infection, and none of these involve taking potentially dangerous and unproven vaccine interventions.
Simple Measures That Can Help You Fight Illness
- Vitamin D has been well documented to increase the production of over 200 anti microbial peptides that fight infection.
- Eliminate sugar from your diet as that will impair your immune response.
- Get plenty of rest
- Exercise appropriately
- Take appropriate supplements like oil of oregano extract, propolis, olive leaf extract, elder flower extract, acerola, DMG.
Violations of these new rules are being prosecuted even more aggressively than alternative cancer treatments. Earlier this week, Dr. Andrew Weil actually received an FDA/FTC warning letter that threatens jail time for failure to comply with the rules.
3) The Canadian preliminary study is provocative in that it suggests those who have gotten seasonal influenza vaccine in the past may be at greater risk for getting H1N1 and having complications. This reinforces NVIC's call for a comparison of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated individuals for all health outcomes.
Notice When Things Don't Add Up...
Interestingly, the 60 minutes segment acknowledges that many people born before 1950 have antibodies to the new H1N1 influenza and are naturally protected.
WAKE UP AMERICA, this is before ANY vaccine was available!
If influenza vaccines are so effective, then why don't they work to protect people that have been getting their flu shots all these years?
(There is a new Canadian study that suggests those who have gotten seasonal influenza vaccines in the past may be at greater risk for getting H1N1 swine flu. This information reinforces NVIC's call for a comparison of the long term health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children).
The answer is, of course, that vaccines do not offer long term immunity. Natural immunity is what you gain when you recover from influenza and natural immunity is what is protecting older Americans, who have recovered from exposure to H1N1 strains of influenza in the past.
What is unknown is whether the massive amount of vaccine exposure in the US population has critically weakened people's ability to mount an effective immune response to novel infections like H1N1.
It was discouraging to see 60 Minutes end their segment on H1N1 influenza vaccine with an encouragement to go to their website to find out where to get a swine flu vaccination...
Fighting Back in the Courts -- and Winning!
Last week the New York state Supreme Court judge issued a restraining order against the state from enforcing mandatory vaccination.
This came about as a result of a lawsuit by the Public Employees Federation, the New York State United Teachers, and an attorney representing four Albany, NY nurses, who sought to reverse the policy that required New York hospital workers to get the swine flu vaccine or face termination. The suit argued that NY state Health Commissioner Richard Daines had overstepped his authority.
The Supreme Court ruled that the vaccination for nurses, doctors, aides, and non-medical staff members who might be in contact with patients, remain voluntary.
This is an incredible victory, and a vital one. And it shows that there are still ways to oppose the complete disintegration of human rights, choice, and freedom.
In addition to that, on October 15, another group of health freedom advocates, including Dr. Gary Null and other New York health care workers, filed an emergency injunction in the US District Court for the District of Columbia to prevent the distribution of the swine flu vaccine, and to void the FDA swine flu vaccine approvals already granted on September 15.
The complaint alleges that the government failed to follow its own rules and applicable legislation in rushing the vaccine approvals in the absence of any of the requisite minimum scientifically sound and appropriate testing for both safety and effectiveness as required by law since 1964.
I will keep you posted on the progress of that injunction.
Criticism is Par for the Course When Advocating Non-Conventional Views
It's impossible to take a stance against such an ingrained medical paradigm as vaccines without taking some hits, and I've taken my fair share lately. Some bloggers and doctors are naturally unhappy with what I'm disseminating, so I'd like to take a moment to clarify my own views.
First of all, I'm glad that people from both sides of this debate are available to discuss it because that is what we desperately need -- discussion. Conventional medicine has routinely ignored and ridiculed the voices speaking up for a "safety first" approach. We need to have an open, public discussion about the realities and dangers of what we're doing, and whether or not vaccination is the safest approach to preventing chronic illness and maintaining health.
So I'm actually pleased that the opposition is taking the time to read my material, as are millions of others who already agree and have looked deeply enough into the matter to understand my position.
The fact of the matter is that vaccinations do not optimize immune function and there is way too little information about what else they do in the human body that may contribute to poor health. My main point is that there are ways to prevent illness and maintain health that are so much more natural, easier, less expensive and more effective than routine use of multiple vaccines in childhood and throughout life.
So in many ways I am grateful for the swine flu challenge that we are now going through, because it allows us the opportunity to expose flaws in vaccine system and the way mainstream medicine thinks about health and wellness.
Is the Swine Flu "Deadly," or Not?
There are far too many points of criticism to respond to them all, but let's review one point that has come up -- a point that is commonly heralded by mandatory vaccination advocates.
Many of them take serious issue with my claiming that the swine flu is not deadly, and use that to insinuate that I'm spitting on the graves of the children who have died.
Nearly all of them, just like the CDC and mainstream media, use the statistic that 36,000 people die from the influenza every year. I actually wrote an article about this fallacy more than five years ago.
Interestingly that number has remained static as if carved into stone all these years.
However, the truth is that less than 1,000 people actually died from type A or type B influenza. The other 35,000 died from pneumonia. This is actually clearly listed on the CDC's own website, yet virtually everyone ignores this fact.
Dr. David Rosenthal, Director of Harvard University's Health Services, brings further clarity to this confusion.
Most of these so-called influenza deaths are in fact bacterial pneumonias -- not even viral pneumonias -- and secondary infections. Furthermore, a study in the Journal of the American Medical Academy shows that many of these deaths are a result of pneumonias acquired by patients taking stomach acid suppressing drugs.
So, for example, if we are to take the combined figure of influenza and pneumonia deaths during the flu season of 2001, and add a bit of spin to the figures, we are left believing that 62,034 people died from influenza.
The actual figures are 61,777 died from pneumonia and only 257 from influenza.
Even more amazing, in those 257 cases, only 18 were lab confirmed as positive for the influenza virus!
In my opinion, there's a vast difference between 257 deaths and 36,000 deaths from influenza..
A separate study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics for seasonal influenza seasons between 1979 and 2002 reveals that the range of annual influenza deaths were between 257 and 3,006, for an average of 1,348 influenza deaths per year.1
Again, nowhere near the 36,000 mortality mark that has been etched into stone by those who are advocating annual flu shots.
Although the loss of even a single life is tragic, I don't think anyone would look at these numbers and say that a mortality rate of less than 1,350 is cause to label influenza a "deadly disease" that requires mandatory influenza vaccination.
Listen to the CDC's Own Admissions!
So, how does the CDC respond to this discrepancy reported by the Harvard scientist?
Please read carefully the CDC's own statement:
"Typically, influenza causes death when the infection leads to severe medical complications... [and as most such cases] are never tested for virus infection...
...CDC considers these figures to be very substantial undercounting of the true number of deaths from influenza. Therefore, the CDC uses indirect modeling methods to estimate the number of deaths associated with influenza."
In an earlier 2003 article JAMA, William Thompson from the CDC's National Immunization Program attempted to explain "influenza-associated mortality." He wrote,
"Based on modeling, we think it's associated. I don't know that we would say that it's the underlying cause of death."
In summary, the CDC is admitting:
- Deceased are not tested to determine the presence of the flu virus, and
- They do not directly perform any direct testing to determine the exact cause of death. "Indirect modeling methods" is a professional way of saying they use subjective mathematical equations to arrive at their figures.
What IS a "Deadly Disease"?
As of October 11, 2009 the World Health Organization reported that, worldwide, there have been more than 399,232 laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1, and over 4,735 deaths.
Folks, that is 4,735 deaths in the ENTIRE world, not just the US!
Most all of these deaths occurred in immunocompromised individuals.
Now I do not want to diminish the value of any life, but what is needed here is a critical perspective.
Malaria kills ONE MILLION people EVERY YEAR, worldwide. Death is a direct result of the malaria infection.
So every DAY 2,740 people are dropping dead from malaria, whereas less than 13 people per day died from the swine flu in the past year, worldwide (if you disregard that most died not as a direct result of the swine flu virus, but from having poor immune function which led to serious secondary infections and complications).
Did you ever wonder why malaria doesn't get much press coverage? Doesn't it strike you as odd that more isn't done to clamp down on such a deadly disease if governments are talking about quarantine centers at airports and suspending personal choice and freedom over the swine flu?
Confusion and Misdirection IS at Work. But Why?
A thorough , comparative analysis of several flu pandemics has been published in the prestigious British Medical Journal, that gives evidence that the H1N1 swine flu is of "the same subtype as seasonal H1N1 that has been circulating since 1977."3 The author points out the substantial confusion between the high public attention the present H1N1 scare is receiving and the very low level of scientific certainty that H1N1 is more severe than other seasonal influenza.
With the facts at hand, it is easy to detect a pattern of misdirection and purposeful confusion.
Doesn't it make you wonder why?
You Can Make a Difference
Most polls show that we ARE making a difference because more people are becoming educated about influenza and flu vaccines, especially H1N1 swine flu. Recent national polls have revealed that 30 to 50% in many communities are not planning to get a swine flu shot. Those who haven't made up their minds yet have lots of questions. So we have created some posters that you can print and post ALL over your community, your local stores, office and schools.
Hopefully more people will wake up and recognize that it is not wise to blindly trust information that is one-sided and doesn't provide ALL the facts about seasonal and H1N1 swine flu and influenza vaccines. People now have access to information from a wide range of sources, which they can independently evaluate to make educated decisions and Take Control of Their Health!
One way we can make a BIG difference in protecting our right to make informed, voluntary vaccination choices is to support the three-decades of work by the National Vaccine Information Center to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths; protect exemptions in vaccine laws and promote scientific research into the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
I have made this non-profit organization -- America's Vaccine Safety Watchdog - one of my favorite charities and I urge you to become a donor member and help NVIC protect your informed consent rights and your children's health.

UK Health Organisations Unable to Substantiate
Swine Flu Pandemic Claims
Derbs, UK - an independent researcher has posted responses from UK Health Organisations to questions about the so-called "Swine Flu" pandemic. The responses provide no credible evidence to substantiate claims of a current or imminent pandemic.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 01, 2009 - Andrew Johnson, UK
An alternative knowledge researcher who runs www.checktheevidence.com , has posted a list of questions sent to two UK health organisations, along with their responses. Johnson became quite concerned about "the continued propagandising of this so-called pandemic". He therefore sent questions to Derbyshire Primary Care Trust, an organisation responsible for the health of about 1 million people, and the Department of Health (DH), a government body which "exists to improve the health and wellbeing of people in England."
Johnson states, "I studied the swine flu related information coming out in the alternative media - there are a few ill-founded and poorly researched stories being disseminated, but there are also some serious questions which health organisations need to properly address, so I did my best to collate 17 questions and attempt to get answers to them."
In his letter to the organisations, Johnson mentioned the 1976 Swine Flu Scare, which seemed unfold in similar way to the one we are seeing now. He states:
"In their responses, there was no real comment on the 1976 swine flu scare. There was no comment on people who sued the US government after they were vaccine-damaged. There was no mention, for example, that the US officials lied about the statements of people like Mary Tyler-Moore (a celebrity at the time), whom they said had taken the vaccine, but she had not - she went against the advice of her doctor."
Another issue Johnson raised was the information leaflet distributed to all UK households. "I have never before known a time when a health leaflet of this type was distributed to all households - at a cost of hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of pounds. The NHS leaflet says "no one will be resistant" to Swine Flu (bottom of p. 4). This is clearly false - as there is always some natural immunity to new infections. In their response, the DH stated
When the swine flu information leaflet was written it was correct to say that there was no immunity to the virus in the community. This referred to specific immunity to this particular virus. The Department now has the benefit of experience from the first wave of this new flu infection. Therefore, it seems there may be some specific partial cross immunity in the elderly population from previous flu infections.
"I contend that the leaflet is misleading - and could have alarmed people unnecessarily."
Johnson continues, "The evidence now suggests that, almost 6 months after the supposed outbreak in Mexico, there is no apparent threat over and above an ordinary flu strain. In the UK, it seems the Swine Flu has claimed hardly any lives (though the media seem overly keen exaggerate this)."
Johnson also asked if the UK Government had sourced vaccine doses, and if so, from which companies. The response from the DH stated it had sourced them from GlaxoSmithKline and Baxter Healthcare and also: The Government signed the advance purchase agreements for the vaccines in June 2007 and accepted liability for their safety as a contingency.
Johnson responds, " it is a significant admission that agreements were made with Pharmaceutical companies 2 years ago, long before the current scare. Of course, some would argue this is all part of the "pandemic response plan". However, previous threats of Avian Flu and SARS have simply not materialised, so what basis was there for making these agreements?"
The DH response also said:
All governments signing up to an advance purchase agreement were expected to provide an indemnity for the vaccine, and neither manufacturer would sign the contracts without it. The Government's decision was based on the best procurement and legal advice. Accepting liability in this way is in line with Government accounting rules, and was cleared by the Public Accounts Committee at the time
Johnson comments, "I was staggered to learn that the UK Government has accepted any potential liability for damage caused by the products of some of the world's richest companies! I can't think of another situation where a government accepts such a potentially costly liability. Of course it's ludicrous to go as far as suggesting that, in some way, the pharmaceutical companies held these governments to ransom over the issue."
Another point he mentions is the potential cost of the vaccine and administering it to patients. "The response from the DH stated that the Doctor's practices will be paid 5 pound .25 for each vaccine dose administered. This would mean a cost of about 315 million pounds to administer it to the whole of UK population. Then we add in the cost of the vaccine itself and we are perhaps approaching a figure of half a billion pounds. This is a huge financial commitment for a pandemic which has no credible evidence to back up its reality! Therefore we see the promotion of toxic treatments - like unproven Swine flu vaccines (just look at the ingredients) rather than non-toxic therapies or prophylactic vitamin supplements!".
On the use of vaccines in general Johnson comments, "A number of doctors question the whole use of vaccines. Dr Rebecca Carley, Dr Leonard Horowitz and others point out the toxic constituents in vaccines and the damage to health they can cause. More recently, in the UK, we have had more reports of damage to health - and even death - being linked to other vaccines, such as the HPV".
Another question Johnson posed was regarding a World Health Organisation WHO) "checklist document". The document states
During a pandemic, it may be necessary to overrule existing legislation or (individual) human rights. Examples are the enforcement of quarantine (overruling individual freedom of movement), use of privately owned buildings for hospitals, off-license use of drugs, compulsory vaccination or implementation of emergency shifts in essential services. These decisions need a legal framework to ensure transparent assessment and justification of the measures that are being considered, and to ensure coherence with international legislation (International Health Regulations). Johnson asked if Britain is a signatory to this "checklist" or if any legislation was in place which would mean that this "checklist" could be applied to UK citizens. The DH responded:
The WHO document to which you refer is simply intended as guidance to assist member states in their flu pandemic planning.
"This suggests Britain is a member state, but they made no comments on any UK legislation - or what the "International Health Regulations" referred to in the WHO document are (or who makes those regulations)." He also asked to why the current pandemic was regarded as serious, they said:
A flu pandemic is serious because, depending on the virulence of the virus, there is the potential for a large number of deaths. Even if it is less virulent, very large numbers of people can be affected, causing significant social disruption due to absence from work. For example, healthcare could be affected. Distribution of food using road transport from large supermarket depots could be disrupted due to absence. The seriousness of a flu pandemic is not just due to the potential for the virus to cause premature death.
Johnson comments, "This refers to the definition of a pandemic in general - but no one anywhere has provided any credible evidence that the swine flu is a dangerous pandemic. This is the key point in all of this. No research is quoted, no figures given - nothing!"
In conclusion, Johnson says: "In working through these questions and answers, I can only conclude that there is no credible evidence that a pandemic is imminent. It seems the actions of these bodies are not concerned with protecting our health - they are concerned with handing over control of our health to private companies, funding them in this activity."

Origin of current influenza H1N1 virus
by Vincent Racaniello on 2 March 2009
Influenza-oligonucleotide-mapInfluenza viruses of two subtypes, H1N1 and H3N2, have been causing respiratory infections in humans since 1977. Before that year, it was believed that only one human subtype circulated each flu season. How did this unusual situation come about?
Major changes in the surface glycoproteins of influenza virus - called antigenic shift - lead to worldwide epidemics of influenza known as pandemics. There have been six instances of antigenic shift since 1889. In that year, H2N2 viruses circulated, followed by H3N8 in 1900, H1N1 in 1918, H2N2 in 1957, H3N2 in 1968, and H1N1 in 1977. Each pandemic strain carries HA and NA proteins that have been absent in humans for many years, and therefore immunity is either very low or nonexistent.
Influenza viruses of the H3N2 subtype were still circulating in humans in May of 1977 when H1N1 viruses were isolated in China and then Russia. In the winter of 1977-78 the H1N1 viruses caused epidemic infection throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The results of serological tests indicated that the HA and NA glycoproteins of the 1977 H1N1 viruses were very similar to those from viruses of the same subtype which circulated in 1950. Palese's group compared viral RNA of one 1977 isolate, A/USSR/90/77, with RNA from a virus isolated in 1950. To their surprise, the two viral RNAs were highly related. In contrast, there was less similarity between viral RNAs from the 1977 H1N1 virus and H1N1 viruses that circulated in humans between 1947 and 1956.
Why were the viral genomes of the 1977 H1N1 isolate and the 1950 virus so similar? If the H1N1 viruses had been replicating in an animal host for 27 years, far more genetic differences would have been identified. The authors suggested several possibilities, but only one is compelling:
...It is possible that the 1950 H1N1 influenza virus was truly frozen in nature or elsewhere and that such a strain was only recently introduced into man.
The suggestion is clear: the virus was frozen in a laboratory freezer since 1950, and was released, either by intent or accident, in 1977. This possibility has been denied by Chinese and Russian scientists, but remains to this day the only scientifically plausible explanation.

Today, October 6, 2009, the Weber/Morgan Health Department began dispensing *H1N1* "Swine Flu" nasal "flu-mist" vaccines to the general public, with the public announcement that all county "health departments" in the State of Utah would soon follow.
These vaccines are said to be "free" to the public - which is a false statement. The manufacturer of the "vaccine" - MedImmune Inc., has been paid handsomely for this serum by the federal government - thus the "vaccine" is not free at all. It has been paid for by our tax dollars. With the federal government, there is no such thing as a truly "free" benefit!
The news media has been blindly promoting this vaccine without mentioning the following risks:
1. The vaccine is composed of "live" viruses. The vaccine circular, page 21, section 17.2 warns under the heading "Vaccination with a Live Virus Vaccine": "Vaccine recipients or their parents/guardians should be informed by the health care provider that Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine Live, Intranasal is an attenuated live virus vaccine AND HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR TRANSMISSION TO IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOUSEHOLD CONTACTS". (Emphasis added). In layman's terms, the "live viruses" can be "shed" and cause other people to become infected.
2. The virus included in the FluMist vaccine is NOT a naturally-occurring virus, but is a laboratory-created "Influenza Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase VARIANT" that is protected by MedImmune U.S. Patent # 2008/0069821 A1.
3. According to the vaccine circular, this "live-virus" vaccine has not been tested, and is clearly experimental. The FDA has allowed it to be licensed solely under new "emergency" licensing provisions.
4. The vaccine dose contains 0.188 mg. of monosodium glutamate - a well-known brain excito-toxic compound. Placing this amount of MSG directly into the nasal passages can cause neurological adverse reactions.
I personally believe that providing this "live virus" spray to citizens will actually CAUSE the feared pandemic to occur. Based on the summer's events in the Southern Hemisphere, the W.H.O.'s "pandemic" has disappeared. The projected "2nd wave" in Australia and South America did not materialize. Therefore, there is no further justification for "pandemic level 6" status - and thus, no need for H1N1 live-virus vaccines to be given away "free".

Mild Swine Flu & Over-Hyped Vaccine
Thursday, October 01, 2009 USA by Barbara Loe Fisher
Every day Americans wake up to news reports that warn us about the dangers of influenza, especially the new H1N1 "swine flu" and the need to roll up our sleeves and get vaccinated. We are witnessing a roll-out of the largest, most expensive mass vaccination campaign in the history of our nation. A rollout that is bigger than even the polio vaccine campaigns of the 1950's.
How much do you know about the disease or vaccine risks so you can make an informed decision about whether to get flu shots for yourself or your children?
H1N1 "Swine Flu" Mild
First, the good news is that swine flu is mild for most people and the virus is not mutating into a more serious form. By the end of September, there had been about 600 deaths in America including about 50 deaths in young children. Complications from infectious diseases like influenza are more common in people with heart, respiratory and other health problems and that is true for swine flu.
Limited Testing of Swine Flu Vaccines
Swine flu vaccines have been tested on only a few thousand healthy Americans for a few weeks. There is little or no information about how safe the vaccine is for pregnant women and chronically ill or disabled children because only a handfull were part of the testing. Nobody will know how safe the vaccine really is until it is given to millions of Americans this year and next year.
Drive-By Flu Shots Risky
Swine flu vaccine is not just being given to children and adults in clinics and doctors offices but also in non-medical settings like pharmacies, stores, schools and even at drive-by kiosks. Getting vaccinated in a non-medical setting can be risky. Driving a car immediately after getting vaccinated, when you could suffer an unexpected a shock collapse reaction can be deadly.
No Compensation For Swine Flu Victims
If you or your child are injured from getting a flu swine flu shot, you are on your own. Because Congress shielded the vaccine manufacturers and any person giving swine flu shots from lawsuits if people get hurt. There is no funded government vaccine injury compensation program for swine flu vaccine.
Swine Flu Reactions: "It's a Coincidence"
But even if there was a funded vaccine injury compensation program - like the one that had to be created by the federal government in 1976 after that year's swine flu vaccine paralyzed about 500 Americans and killed 25, there is little chance you would be compensated if you or your child does become vaccine injured.
Federal health officials are already pre-emptively warning Americans that most of the deaths and cases of brain inflammation, seizures, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, strokes, heart attacks, miscarriages and other serious health problems that develop after swine flu vaccination will be considered a "coincidence" and not related in any way to the flu shots just given.
Prevent Vaccine Injuries
This makes it even more important for Americans to become informed health care consumers. If you choose to get vaccinated and you or your child do suffer a health complication, insist that the health care worker who gave the shot immediately files a report with the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. If the person who gave the flu shot won't file a vaccine reaction report, you can file it yourself.
Do NOT let a doctor or anyone else tell you that a serious health problem you or your child experiences after vaccination is a coincidence and allow more shots to be given until you know for sure. The most tragic cases of vaccine injury occur when vaccine reaction symptoms are dismissed as a 'coincidence" and more vaccines are given that result in more severe symptoms and sometimes end with permanent brain and immune system damage or death.
Thimerosal in Multi-Dose Vials
Injectable flu shots in multi-dose vials contain the mercury preservative, thimerosal, and some come in single dose vials and do not contain mercury. If you get vaccinated, make sure you know what is in the vaccine you are getting because people can be very allergic to different components of vaccines. And some people can't get the live virus flu vaccine.
FOUR Flu Shots for Young Children?
Doctors are telling some children under 10 years old to get 3 to 4 flu shots this year - 2 shots for seasonal flu and one or two more for swine flu. We have never given young children 3 to 4 flu shots in a single year and there is no information about how safe it is to do that.
Government Spend Billions On H1N1 Vaccine Program
Swine flu shots are free for most Americans because the government has given $1 billion dollars to pharmaceutical companies to create the new swine flu vaccines and has given another $5 billion dollars to state and federal health agencies to promote and deliver the influenza vaccines to people. That is a lot of money. The push to get vaccinated is like nothing we have ever seen before.
Most People Recover From Swine Flu
The fact is: Millions of people around the world have recovered from swine flu and millions more will get sick with fevers, body aches, nasal congestion, cough and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting and recover from it this year and next year without any complications.
People who recover from influenza, including swine flu, get long lasting protection from the flu strain they recovered from. Actually, most people over 60 won't get swine flu this year because they recovered from influenza caused by a similar swine flu strain in the past and still have protective antibodies.
Just the Facts, Not the Hype
So, here are the facts:
- The new swine influenza is mild for most people even though a small number have developed complications and died.
- The swine flu vaccine has been tested for only a few weeks on a few thousand healthy children and adults, including very few pregnant women. We don't know how safe it really is for pregnant women or children and adults with chronic illness even though they are being specially targeted for vaccination by government health officials.
- There is very little information about how safe it is to give swine flu vaccine with other vaccines, including seasonal influenza vaccine.
- There is very little information about whether the swine flu shot will keep you from getting swine flu.
All Vaccines Come With Side Effects: Weigh Risks
All pharmaceutical products, including vaccines, come with side effects. The risk of having a vaccine reaction depends upon the vaccine you are getting; your personal and family medical history; whether you are sick or healthy at the time of vaccination; whether you are taking other medications; and whether you have reacted to vaccines before.
If you decide you or your children are going to get swine flu shots this year, you can learn more by visiting www.NVIC.org.
If Your Child's School Has Vaccine Clinics
And if you have a child, whose school is going to be holding vaccine clinics and you do NOT want your child to get vaccinated in school, you can take the following actions:
Number One: Write a letter to the school principal stating you do not want your child vaccinated in school without your written consent.
Number Two: Ask to be notified in advance exactly when the in-school vaccine clinics will be held.
Support NVIC, Get Red "NO VACCINE FOR ME" Bracelets
Number Three: Support NVIC and raise awareness in your community by giving your child a red NO VACCINE FOR ME bracelet to wear to school. And wear one yourself.
Go to www.NVIC.org to donate and learn more about how to be prepared for the pandemic public health emergency that has been declared in your state. Learn about the public health laws that govern you. Learn about how you can change them by becoming a citizen activist.
Health Workers Being Forced To Get H1N1 Vaccine
Right now, the government says that the swine flu vaccination program is voluntary. That nobody will be forced to get vaccinated. However, health care workers in New York and other states ARE being forced by law to get swine flu shots this year.
Will that be true for all of us next year?
Stand Up For Your Informed Consent Rights
Please join NVIC and become a grassroots vaccine safety and informed consent advocate in your community. Stand up for the human right to make informed, voluntary health care choices, including vaccine choices, today - so your children and grandchildren and all Americans will have that right tomorrow.

Profit Driven Swine Flu Propaganda -
Pump Up the Volume Part 1
Evelyn Pringle, health freedom writer Oct. 21, 2009 USA.
(NaturalNews) The pharmaceutical industry, with public health officials and the mainstream media acting as a mass marketing team, is about to pull off the biggest profiteering scheme in the history of the world. The swine flu hoax, perpetrated on a global level, will generate unheard of profits from a non-existent pandemic.
The Obama administration declared the spread of swine flu a public health emergency on April 26, 2009. The Associated Press reported that "Swine flu is now formally a pandemic, a declaration by U.N. health officials that will speed vaccine production and spur government spending to combat the first global flu epidemic in 41 years," on June 11, 2009.
"WHO chief Dr. Margaret Chan made the long-awaited declaration after the U.N. agency held an emergency meeting with flu experts and said she was moving to phase 6 -- the agency's highest alert level -- which means a pandemic is under way," the AP advised.
Since the "highest alert" warning was issued, the only estimation that has turned out to be true is that the drug companies are experiencing a windfall of tax dollars pouring into their coffers.
The US government "has committed $1.8 billion to companies to make a swine flu vaccine," Reuters reported on September 30, 2009, in an article with the headline, "Big pharma jumps back into flu business."
"Three big U.S. pharmaceutical companies announced vaccine deals this week," Reuters noted, for companies that included Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories and Merck.
"Abbott Labs bought a Belgian drug business, along with its flu vaccine facilities, for $6.6 billion. Johnson & Johnson invested $444 million in a Dutch biotech firm (Crucell) that makes and develops flu vaccines. Merck which already makes vaccines for shingles and other diseases, struck a deal to distribute flu shots made by Australian CSL," ABC News reported on October 14, 2009
"Smaller biotechs are also angling for a slice of the action, making vaccines one of the fastest-growing areas of research in the biotech industry," ABC noted.
Dr Robert Belshe, director of Saint Louis University's Center for Vaccine Development, told Reuters that the US is on the verge of recommending that all citizens get a flu shot. "We're at 270 million people who should get vaccinated. It's a big market. I think manufacturers are just now catching up," he said.
"The vaccine market is booming. It's an enormous growth area for pharmaceuticals at a time when other areas are not doing so well," Bruce Carlson, a spokesperson for the market research firm Kalorama, told ABC News.
On October 1, 2009, under the headline, "Vical shares soar on Navy's H1N1 contract," Fierce Vaccines advised that: "Anyone doubting just how hot H1N1 news is right now should check out Vical's stock price this morning."
"The developer announced a modest $1.3 million contract with the Navy to fund the manufacturing and testing of its swine flu vaccine and the company's stock shot up 22 percent," the report said.
On September 29, 2009, Reuters noted that the H1N1 flu pandemic is not "the first flu outbreak to have lifted the shares of small vaccine makers."
"The H5N1 bird flu scare that began in 2005 fueled a similar rise," the reports said. "And the media statements issued by companies then are similar to many of those issued today."
"In May 2006, Vical, for example, announced that its bird flu vaccine protected mice and ferrets against H5N1," Reuters recalled.
"This year, it said its H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine protected rabbits and mice. The news sent its shares soaring," the report noted.
Vaccine Makers Fund Studies
On September 10, 2009, MedPage Today ran the headline: "H1N1 Vaccines Safe, Immunogenic in Single Dose".
"Two investigational vaccines against the pandemic H1N1 flu appear to be safe and to yield a robust immune response with a single dose," MedPage reported.
"Those findings," it said, "contained in two preliminary reports published online today in the New England Journal of Medicine -- are reassuring, experts said."
The first report is from an Australian study supported by CSL and the Department of Health and Aging of the Australian government. "All authors report being employees of CSL and several report having an equity interest in the company," according to MedPage.
The second report is from a British study supported by University Hospitals Leicester and Novartis. Study leader, Dr Iain Stephenson, "reported financial links with Novartis Vaccines, Sanofi Pasteur, Baxter Vaccines, Hoffmann-La Roche, and GlaxoSmithKline," MedPage noted.
Profits Galore
On September 21, 2009, Reuters reported that the United States had ordered 222 million doses of H1N1 vaccine from five drug makers that include GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Pasteur, Australia's CSL, AstraZeneca's MedImmune division and Novartis.
CSL has contracts to supply $180 million worth of bulk antigen to the US. Sanofi-Pasteur is providing more than 100 million doses to the US, in a $690 million order.
On September 25, 2009, MedImmune said it has "received a federal order for 29 million more doses of its nasal H1N1 flu vaccine, bringing its total order to more than 40 million doses, with a value of about $453 million," according to Gazette.net.
Seeking Alpha reported on August 24, 2009, that the "Swiss company Novartis received an order for $346 million for antigen and $343.8 million for adjuvant totalling $690 million in July."
The most recent estimates have GlaxoSmithKline "reaping some $4.8 billion from the pandemic, between its Pandemrix vaccine, its Relenza antiviral drug, and other products such as antiviral face masks and flu diagnostics," Fierce Pharma reported on October 9, 2009.
On June 11, 2009, Kalorama Information issued a press release with the headline, "New Report Forecasts More Than Doubling of Vaccine Sales by 2013."
The new report titled, "Vaccines 2009: World Market Analysis, Key Players, and Critical Trends in a Fast-Changing Industry," forecasts the market "to more than double by 2013 due to a strong pipeline of new products and rising usage of current products around the world," Kalorama wrote.
In the press release, Kalorama described 2008 as another "stellar year for the world vaccine market," in which sales "grew 21.5% since 2007 to reach $19.2 billion."
"Few areas of pharmaceuticals have seen the fast-moving developments in the marketplace that the vaccine market has," Kalorama noted.
Antiviral Drug Hype
On October 15, 2009, the Financial Times ran the headline: "Tamiflu boosts Roche sales figures," and reported that sales figures "were boosted by bumper demand for Tamiflu amid persistent fears about a global flu pandemic."
Tamiflu sales of $1.9 billion in the first nine months were more than four times ahead of the same period last year and third quarter sales figures were "nearly 10 times more than in the same period last year."
On July 22, 2009, Business Week reported that GlaxoSmithKline "expects to increase annual production of its inhalable anti-viral flu treatment Relenza threefold, to 190 million doses, by year end."
"Relenza sales for the three months ended June 30 were $99 million, up from just $5 million in the second quarter of 2008," the report noted.
The price of Tamiflu at a middle dose at DrugStore.com on August 26, 2009, was $93 for a packet of ten 75mg capsules. One inhaler of Relenza costs $64 at DrugStore.com.
Any good that will come from the swine flu propaganda campaign will accumulate solely with the profits of pharmaceutical industry.

In Search of the lost Pandemic
If you managed to hack your way though the above info..."Well done"
The flu season in the southen hemisphere has just finished in terms of "pandemic" it was a total **FLOP** Australia and New Zealand had a milder than average season?
No one was vaccinated because their health authorites did have the vaccine until recently.
Of course no one was going about squirting "live virus" up everyones nose? In order to protect them from a pandemic which is conspicous by its absense.
Now as far as I know and I am not a doctor or medical authority...THERE IS NO PANDEMIC because I can't find it! Believe me I have been looking for it for weeks...Digging, sifting, comparing...My conclusion...The Global Flu H1N1 Variant Pandemic to date is a "mythological event" .
During my research into this matter I came across a "real gold nugget".
"all vaccines, across all diagnostic end points, are creating the same measurable, reproducible, quantifiable, neurological ischemic damages."
Dr Andrew Moulden MD, PhD
What Dr Moulden has to say and I have no reason what so ever to doubt that he is not correct in his conclusions, is of paramount importance to us all.
The aggressive, business, profit, manipulations, "first pig in the trough" 19th century social attitude of the multi-national pharmaceutical companies is a total disgrace and some may even say "a crime against humanity".(The case of Dr Diane Harper) as example.
"The entire grid of checks and balances has been corrupted, in knowledge, power, direction, goals, methods, beliefs, legislation, and appointments. Human health and wellness cannot be mandated at the end of a syringe or in a one size fits all anything. Cut, burn, and poison is not health care."
Dr Andrew Moulden MD, PhD
Perhaps its time to rethink the role of the pharmaceutical cartels who have departed from any original benevolent philosophy they may have had to such a point that given their mandate in modern society their present behaviour could be construed as "clinically insane"...
I highly recommend you read the interview with Dr Moulden (link below) for your self and then reflect upon the implications.
"I now have conclusive evidence to show that ALL vaccines are causing the exact same damages for us all in the exact same manner that wild polio virus caused paralysis, respiratory failure ("Iron lung"), death, bleeding into the brain, and more."

This is a great resource site for homesteaders, people interested in sustainability and survival techniques. There is so much here that the site deserves its own listing.
Downloading directly from the site is free, but does require sign up and some information (including info on what you plan on doing with the materials provided). It's worth it!
