IN THE NEWS: Doctors criticizing vaccines

Thibodaux, LA Serious concern with polio vaccines

Daily Comet 

 

Fear of vaccinations has progressively increased over the years, due in part, to the current epidemic of autism and the government requirement that pre-schoolers must now receive dozens of shots.

....Public officials try to downplay any risks and reassure parents that all vaccinations are safe. Unfortunately, the World Health Organization has issued a warning that the paralyzing disease, polio, may spread beyond Africa. Most shocking is the fact that it is being spread by a mutant of the vaccine itself.

Myths and fears have abounded with vaccines since 1955-1963, when some of the polio vaccine administered in the U.S. was found to be contaminated with a suspected cancer-causing monkey virus, the simian SV40 virus. In 2002, the Institute of Medicine finally issued a report on the investigation into this incident and stated that, “It has not been conclusively established whether it might have caused cancer in humans” or not.

video....KS: Wichita Teen Suffering After Gardasil Vaccine KWCH 

Cervical cancer runs in the family, so Wichita teen Gabi Swank asked her mom for the vaccine Gardasil. Swank says the series of shots ruined the life she knew...

Her neurologist Dr. Dwight Lindholm blames the vaccine for her potentially fatal condition. "I recommend not getting a vaccination. It's not worth the risk," said Dr. Lindholm. His opinion is only stronger after seeing that 6.2% have had serious adverse effects. "That's a serious high percent, a high risk," he said.

MT: Boost immune system for health The Missoulian

Nonsense - people don't die from influenza. (Possibly, they could if a strain were to directly infect lung tissue.) Influenza infection triggers a flare-up of underlying problems in those with a weakened immune system. All through this terrible onset of a pandemic, it has been described as a mild illness. If the authorities don't accept the idea of weakened immune systems, then why the desperate attempt to develop a vaccine to enable (theoretically) the immune system to cope with the virus?

How about a little honesty here. The "underlying conditions" are glazed over, much like the side effects of medicines as told in "small print" in TV ads. We need to learn the reality of influenza vaccines: the difficulty of matching for a chameleonlike, rapidly mutating virus; the real possibilities of potent side-effects; and the silliness of masks that cannot filter viruses plus the wiping down of school steps with germicidal-impregnated wipes.
