Dr. Eleanor McBean, who lived through the 1918 Influenza epidemic, testified, "As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated. Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all the vaccinations so we remained well all the time. There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against."

Flu Crimes at the CDC

On the 7th of October, the BBC started hitting the public with its yearly dose of hyped flu propaganda. "The 1918 "Spanish" flu pandemic is estimated to have infected up to one billion people -- half the world's population at the time. The virus killed more people than any other single outbreak of disease, surpassing even the Black Death of the Middle Ages."1 One can only wonder about "the miracle" of vaccines in those early days.

Today in England, with the most modern technology, we have a vaccine plant closing because of contamination.

Imagine during World War I, when the pharmaceutical companies first started mass-producing vaccines. At that time, refrigeration was chancier and vaccine manufacturing technology primitive. Federal regulators said an inspection of Chiron's flu-vaccine plant in June 2003 turned up manufacturing problems, meaning they had ample warning of troubles that, over a year later, remained unresolved.

John Taylor, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, was correct in saying, last year, that "Chiron wouldn't necessarily be able to discover problems, identify the root cause and take steps to prevent similar issues from arising again." 2

Why would we assume the early manufacturers of almost 100 years ago would do any better?

Chiron's Fluvirin vaccine was pulled off the market after the dangerous serratia bacteria was found in a manufacturing plant that uses the most up-to-the-minute safeguards. Chiron also uses the mercury-based preservative thimerosal as a sterilizing agent in making Fluvirin, to prevent exactly this type of contamination.

Before the 1930s, no such powerful preservative was available. It's not beyond reason or statistical probability that the vaccines back then were contaminated or seriously flawed in some way and provoked the epidemic that killed so many.

Dr. Eleanor McBean, who lived through the 1918 Influenza epidemic, testified, "As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated. Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all the vaccinations so we remained well all the time. There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against." 3

Scare Tactics


It's quite normal for the medical establishment to bash the public with improbable stories of the past and "carrot stick" them with future fears saying things like this:

Scientists believe the 1918 virus leapt to humans by mutating from bird flu, possibly after passing through pigs, which are able to harbor both human and avian viruses and thus allow them to swap genes as the viruses reproduce. For that reason, experts are deeply concerned that the avian flu that has broken out in poultry flocks in parts of south-east Asia may acquire genes that will make it highly infectious as well as lethal for humans. 4

This kind of speculation is simply that, speculation. Beliefs without substance. A good storyline to scare naïve people with. We can as easily believe the vaccines themselves killed hundreds of thousands of people because the pharmaceutical manufacturers had not developed safeguards or sufficient technology to ensure quality control.

"Influenza kills tens of thousands every year in this country and requires the hospitalization of about a quarter-million. In epidemic years, mortality can be in the millions,"5 says Dr. Henry I. Miller, a fellow at the Hoover Institution and former director of the Office of Biotechnology, who seems not to have read the CDC's version6, which puts 1918 flu deaths at only 500,000, the Asian Flu pandemic of 1957-58 at 70,000 and the Hong Kong Flu pandemic of 1968-69 at 34,000.

Medical authorities, the media and doctors like Miller tend to have statistical hallucinations this time of year. Miller goes on to suggest, "The FDA should also make it clear that although the labeling for FluMist, the nasal vaccine, indicates that it is intended for recipients aged 5 to 49 years, it will likely also be effective in those younger or older."

FluMist was a disaster last year not only because it is expensive but because it is dangerous and comes with warnings that those who use it can become contagious for up to 21 days to those around them, because of it's live viruses. Miller, in some kind of manic need to sure up this year's flu campaign, would have it stuffed up the noses of babies even though the FDA has indicated this is not safe.

The CDC estimated that from 1990 to 1999, an average of approximately 92 influenza-related deaths occurred each year among children less than 5 years of age.7

Truth Behind the Fear


It is clear, at least to naturopathic doctors, that people and young children die from the flu not because of the virus itself but because they are already sick, are bearing heavy toxic burdens, and have severely compromised immune systems.

Allopathic doctors like Miller forget the most basic principles of health and disease because they do not care to look into the realities of the patients they treat. They do not want to take the time to understand weaknesses in patients because they are eating too much sugar, are malnourished, are getting inadequate rest or if they are suffering from intense emotional trauma.

The "flu salesmen" doctors and the CDC multiply the danger and risk of viruses because, without exaggerated stories, flu vaccines just would not sell for the virus is not dangerous in and of itself.

Understand the CDC deals with diseases, not health. They would not stop and think that patients who exercise would be better protected from the dangers of flu then from patients who took vaccines.

Jeffrey A. Woods, Ph.D., and graduate student Tom Lowder at the Physical Fitness Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology, University of Illinois, Urbana, recently said just this, reporting that four consecutive days of moderate exercise in mice after they were infected with influenza protects them from dying, compared with mice that didn't exercise.

Woods and Lowder are reporting their findings this month at the American Physiological Society's 2004 Intersociety Meeting, showing that 20-week-old mice that had exercised had significantly (p=0.008) higher survival rates (18 of 22) versus HCC of the same age (10 of 22). When all EX mice (47) were compared with all HCC mice (48), EX had twice the survival rate, 59% vs. 29.4% (p=0.003).

They reported that none of the variables (food/water intake, random activity or symptom severity) proved to be reliable at predicting mortality.

Ideology vs. Common Sense


The CDC states that 135 children died during the 2003-2004 flu season. 59 of these children had received their flu shots.8

It's just too much for the CDC to suggest that patients exercise and eat right. They would rather promote vaccines that contain dangerous chemicals and inject that in babies than promote health.

Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the most quoted biologist of our time, says that if an individual has five consecutive flu shots his or her chances of developing Alzheimer's Disease are 10 times greater than if they had one, two or no shots.9

What it will do to babies given year after year is anyone's guess. And that is exactly what it is: a guess, an experiment, for no one knows, for there have been no tests. Clearly, no longitudinal study has been made with babies on the effect of giving annual flu shots starting from six months of age.

With an already heavy childhood immunization schedule in place, and children carrying heavy burdens of toxins, including mercury administered through other vaccines, it's a gamble what will happen to children under the CDC's rule with the addition of the flu vaccine that contains thimerosal. Of course, experimenting with children or anyone else is against the laws of humanity and certainly a serious breach of medical ethics.

The addition of the flu vaccine into the childhood immunization schedule, loaded as it is with nasty chemicals like mercury, aluminum and even formaldehyde, reveals the CDC's true colors as a terrorist organization whose prime target is children. If not medical terrorists, we would have to see them as medically ignorant, or even worse, medically insane.

Medical Terrorists

"Medical" terrorists fit the bill more correctly because of their well known conflicts of interests with the major pharmaceutical companies, meaning too many people in the medical establishment benefit directly or indirectly from pharmaceutical profits. The entire vaccine department at the CDC should be faced with Nuremberg Trials for they are breaking the Nuremberg Code by administering the flu vaccine to 6-month-old babies starting this year, and every year thereafter.10

If eminent doctors warn against the serious effect of consecutive flu shots to adults, imagine a newborn baby getting one each year. What will happen to them after 10 or 20 consecutive years of receiving a vaccine to protect them from a virus that good nutrition, vitamin C and exercise would protect them from?

The best news in medicine this year ends up being the Chiron story. Approximately 50 million people and children will be spared 25 micrograms of mercury in the form of thimerosal this year. That's 50 million fewer crimes against humanity. That's 50 million fewer assaults on the nervous system for certainly thimerosal is nerve toxic even at concentrations well below 25 micrograms.

Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director of the CDC, speaking to congressional representatives, said that, at best, the preservative may be eliminated from the vaccine by 2009.11 Can we hope for similar disasters at the Chiron plant for the next five years in a row?

After all, by the CDC's own admission, the vaccine for the flu is not effective against it. With 59 out of the 135 flu deaths this past year stemming from vaccinated children, a case could be made to include the vaccine itself in the etiology of influenza death. Many good doctors like Harold Buttram have made excellent cases about how injections like this one diminish immune strength and resistance in children and adults alike.12

This is not what anyone needs when entering yet another flu season.
