An H1N1 clinic in Ottawa gets the message across in this file photo from Nov. 13, 2009.
I’ve been pointing out for weeks now that the H1N1 mortality rates are far lower than the seasonal flu, yet everyone wanted to believe that they absolutely needed the vaccine. Congratulations – that attitude just lined the pockets of the pharma manufacturers while simultaneously toxifying your system without just cause.
While health officials recommend an ever increasing quantity of vaccines for babies and young children, they are less than forthcoming with the ingredients list of vaccine additives and the potential for reactions. Today’s parents are concerned about the health impact of multiple vaccines & additives on their children’s health. Vaccine product monographs listing ingredients can be located in the CPS index (Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties) obtainable through any pharmacy in Canada. Some vaccine product monographs can be accessed on line at the manufacturers’ websites.
Starting at two months of age, most babies are injected with the following vaccines: Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis, Polio, Act-HIB (haemophilus influenza B), Hepatitis B, 7 valent Pneumococcal vaccine, Meningococcal C vaccine. Babies may be injected with as many as 8 vaccines concurrently. See the Canadian Immunization Guide (in English or French) for details of the vaccine schedule and number of doses given of each vaccine.
In the northern territories, babies are also routinely injected within hours of birth with BCG (tuberculosis vaccine) & hepatitis B vaccine. The province of New Brunswick vaccinates newborns with hepatitis B vaccine within hours of birth.
A two dose schedule of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is generally started at 12 months and given again at 18 months or 4-6 years. Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is also injected at 12 months of age. Additionally, Influenza vaccine is now recommended for all children starting at 6 months of age. Babies and young children are injected with two doses of flu vaccine 30 days apart.
Health officials keep vaccine reaction reports under wraps. Unlike the U.S. where the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) is accessible on line and can be searched by anyone for vaccine reactions, Canadians do not have access to the vaccine reaction data base held by Health Canada. Only by filing an Access to Information request with the specific lot number of a vaccine, is it possible to obtain limited vaccine reaction information.
People should also know that the manufacturers do not disclose all the ingredients nor full details of the manufacturing process. Health Canada protects the “proprietary rights” of these companies and upholds their right to secrecy – something the greater Canadian public should be up in arms about. That parents are expected to submit their children for injection with multiple vaccines without first having full disclosure of all known ingredients is a disturbing statement on the control exerted by monopoly medicine and corporate and government allies.
Thimerosal (a preservative comprising 50% ethyl mercury) was phased out of early infant shots in Canada when polio vaccine was combined with DPT. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. Apparently inactivated, injectable polio vaccine is degraded by thimerosal, hence vaccine combinations that contain polio vaccine do not contain thimerosal. Thimerosal may, however still be used in the manufacturing process, then filtered out. The question remains however, whether trace amounts of thimerosal still persist in the final product. Thimerosal was replaced by 2-phenoxyethanol, another toxic substance used in antifreeze and is contained in Pentacel, the DTPaP+Hib vaccine injected into most Canadian babies starting at 2 months of age.
Currently the two vaccines given to Canadian babies that may still contain thimerosal are influenza vaccine and hepatitis B. Both vaccines are available in single dose vials without thimerosal. Parents who choose to inject their babies with these vaccines should know they do have a choice to choose thimerosal free vaccines.

Influenza Vaccines
In Canada, Vaxigrip and Fluviral are the two vaccines most widely used and are produced by pharmaceutical companies Sanofi Pasteur and ID Biomedical respectively. Product information for Vaxigrip is available on the Sanofi Pasteur website. Fluviral product details are not available on the ID Biomedical website but are copied below from the CPS index – 2004 edition.
A recent meta analysis conducted by international researchers at the Cochrane Vaccines Field, looked at the results of 64 international flu vaccine studies. They concluded that there is no scientific ground on which influenza vaccines should be recommended for babies. Despite this, the Canadian Paediatric Society promotes flu shots for all children 6 months and older, including those with immune dysfunction and other chronic diseases. Infants and young children are injected with two doses of the vaccine 30 days apart. See article by Dr. F. Edward Yazbak, “Nothing New about Lack of Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccination in Babies“ (5. Notes)
VAXIGRIP® – Produced by Sanofi Pasteur

The Mainstream, Corporately Owned Media is Anything but Honest: Television, also, Slyly Promotes War and False Paradigms.
 |

| 30,000 scientists signed onto a lawsuit, charging Al Gore with fraud, for his bogus video, “An Inconvenient Truth,” that so widely promoted the man-made (anthropogenic) global warming myth. | |
The Twentieth Century Fox Corporation is not unique in spreading propaganda, but they are rare in admitting it. Rupert Murdoch, himself in 2003, admitted that his Fox company helped to sell George W. Bush’s Iraqi-Afghani wars to the American public.
What a guy! Murdoch helped to sell wars that have made America a psychotic outlaw in the family of civilized nations, and destroyed her economy in the process.
Fox, also, promoted the man-made global warming scam with its popular TV shows the Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Prison Break. Dana Walden, Fox chairman said, “The most powerful way we could communicate the commitment on behalf of our company, was to change the practices within production, as well as work in a message about global warming, about environmental changes, about empowering people to take responsibilities.”
“Empowering people to take responsibilities” is Walden’s double-speak for weakening people with new carbon taxes, all going to the International Banking Cartel’s World Bank, supposedly in order to save and clean up our environment. The truth of the manner is an entirely different story: None of the taxes we will pay to the World Bank will be used to cleanup our environment; all such money – that is not pocketed – will be used to help eliminate national soveresignties, and capture us all in a one-world government.
Moreover, the good chairman’s desire for responsibility has never extended to his own responsibility of airing some hidden news: 30,000 scientists signed onto a lawsuit, charging Al Gore with fraud, for his bogus video, “An Inconvenient Truth,” that so widely promoted the man-made (anthropogenic) global warming myth.
You might, also, be interested in knowing that 9,000 of those scientists suing Mr. Gore hold PhDs, who might not know that the global warming scam is meant to wrench carbon-taxes from us and cut our domestic production of consumer goods and foodstuffs, the very things we need for an economic recovery, or even for bare survival.
Additionally, a British court case found that Gore’s propaganda film had nine significant errors; but rather than try to refute those findings, Gore and the American press have kept the silence of the guilty.
But in spite of the billions of dollars worth of media air and space spent pushing the man-made global warming myth, their propaganda is no longer working. A Rasmussen poll, of May 2009, showed that only 34% of those polled still bought the big lies of man-made global warming, now called “climate change,” as it is becoming increasingly obvious our world is no longer warming.
And there are honest scientific organizations that are not afraid to report the truth as they see it. The Journal of Geophysical Research has stated, “Little or none of the late 20th century global warming and cooling can be attributed to human activity.”
The Journal additionally reported, “Our paper confirms what many scientists already know: which is that no scientific justifications exists for emissions regulations, and that, irrespective of the severity of the cuts proposed, the emissions trading scheme will exert no measurable effect on future climate.”
And yet, even today, our President Obama still talks of the dire need to curb global warming, by decreasing our standard of living, and increasing our taxes, all made to seem logical by the talking heads of television. And once Obama signs the Copenhagen Climate Treaty, he will have committed our once sovereign country to a world dictatorship, which will not only control, but own the economies of Earth.
But in a world of national-puppet leaders shines a noble man: Czech President Vaslav Klaus said, “They do not want to reveal their true [global warming] plans and ambitions to stop economic development and return mankind several centuries back.”
The Earth was warming for a period, due to sun cycles, not from Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs). The planet Mars, 1.5 times further away from the Sun than our Earth, had melting ice caps during the same period as our warming, but not from SUVs, I presume.
Even Congress must know how intellectually indefensible are Obama’s anthropogenic global warming proclamations, due to their own 2009 US Senate Report of more than 700 dissenting scientists on man-made global warming. And while perhaps not many of those scientists can pin-point what is driving the global warming scam, they know it’s not science.
All media driven eco-fads – over population, peak oil, resource depletion, and global warming – interestingly, all promote one solution: massive controls over national economies and the economic lives of us all. One could say that today’s environmental fear-mongering was unfocused from our real environmental problems on to fictitious ones, to gain more economic control over our lives, and be absolutely correct. The global warming/climate change/CO2 scare tactics are simply attacks on our prosperity and freedoms. Are there not already enough attacks on our prosperity and freedoms to allow any more?
Up until the 1990s, no research had ever been conducted to determine the impact of fluoride on the pineal gland — a small gland located between the two hemispheres of the brain that regulates the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the onset of puberty and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals.
It is now known — thanks to the meticulous research of Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England — that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation within your body. Read the rest of this entry »

Since its launch in 2006, 40 million doses of the Gardasil vaccine have been distributed worldwide, amidst a rash of side effects and complaints. At least Spanish health authorities were quick to act this time, when two girls became seriously ill just hours after receiving the shot.
In response, close to 76,000 doses of Gardasil were withdrawn from the market, all of them part of batch NH52670. Unfortunately, this is not a move to pull the vaccine from the market entirely; only use of shots from this particular batch has been suspended.
I don’t know what more health officials from all over the world could be waiting for to let them know how potentially dangerous this vaccine actually is.
Over 10,000 adverse reactions, including 29 deaths, have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in relation to Gardasil — and that is just from the United States.
Although Merck, which manufactures Gardasil, has reported a 16 percent decline in quarterly sales of the vaccine, and said it expects sales this year to be lower than expected, a massive campaign is still underway urging young girls to get vaccinated and become “one less” victim to cervical cancer.
This is going on in many parts of the world, including in Sweden, which recently announced all primary school girls will be able to be vaccinated with Gardasil for free starting in 2010.
Merck has also been pushing for an expansion of uses for Gardasil. In the U.S., the vaccine can also be promoted to prevent two rare vaginal and vulvar cancers, and Merck just recently filed for FDA approval to use Gardasil for boys!
What Types of Risks Does Gardasil Pose?
Side effects including paralysis and death have been reported in relation to Gardasil, among many, many others. Yet, on October 21, 2008 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in association with the FDA released a report alleging that the vast majority, or even ALL, of the 10,000+ adverse reactions reported are not related to the vaccine. Therefore, they say, Gardasil is safe.
How did they come to this conclusion? Only the investigators know, and the information is not being made public so independent researchers can make their own decisions.
Well, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), which was co-founded by Barbara Loe Fisher, one of the top vaccine experts in the world, is now calling for the CDC and FDA to publicly release the study design, data, and names of principal investigators involved.
To not properly evaluate the risks of Gardasil, they say, is “a callous disregard for human life.” As Fisher said:
On NVIC’s Web site, you can read several stories of women and girls who have been seriously injured, and in some cases died, shortly after receiving this vaccine, including:
Sadly, Merck only studied the Gardasil vaccine in fewer than 1,200 girls under 16 prior to it being released to the market, and most of the serious side effects that occurred during the pre-licensure clinical trials were merely called a “coincidence.”
It is beyond me how that explanation can hold water, considering all the bad press coming out about this vaccine. NVIC has been following the risks of Gardasil closely, and just released a new analysis comparing the vaccine to another for meningitis (Menactra). They found, compared to Menactra, Gardasil was associated with:
Further, there have been a dizzying array of reactions reported among girls who received Gardasil alone, without any other vaccines, such as:
On top of this, in the VAERS database there are 467 “rechallenge” reports, which involve cases where there was a worsening of symptoms after a repeated vaccination — and nearly 60 percent of them are for Gardasil!
What Makes The Gardasil Vaccine Even More of a Rip-Off?
It’s intended to prevent a virus (human papilloma virus, or HPV) your body can clear up on its own, and does so more than 90 percent of the time!
At least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives, according to the National Prevention Information Network (NPIN). Most often, the infection causes no symptoms at all, and is easily cleared up by your immune system. In some cases the infection can result in genital warts, and much less often, cervical and other genital cancers.
Even the National Cancer Institute says:
So while Merck would like you to hear that 6 million women contract HPV annually — they do not tell you most of those cases are harmless. Cervical cancer actually claims less than 3,900 women a year — most of which are due to not getting regular Pap smears.
You should also know that Gardasil does not protect against all types of HPV, and you can still get cervical cancer even if you’ve been vaccinated. As the CDC states:
What this all boils down to is that Gardasil is largely ineffective, potentially very dangerous and a major waste of money.
If you are a parent considering the Gardasil vaccine for your daughter, you would likely be far better off teaching her how to keep her immune system strong and healthy — and discussing the realities of sexually transmitted diseases and how to avoid them — than having her injected with this worthless vaccine.
