Bill Gates Polio Eradication Plans – To Cause The Polio Equivalent of 235 Years of Cases Of A Twice As Deadly Disease

Bill Gates outlined his plans for polio eradication on the UK’s BBC television last night as the invited guest to deliver the annual Richard Dimbleby lecture.  Instead of feting Gates, the BBC’s journalists should have been spelling out what Bill Gates’s plans mean and the concern the aim of polio eradication is impossible in any event. 

In 2006 Science ran articles reporting how experts involved in attempted eradication had become highly skeptical about and doubted the ability ever to eradicate polio: Polio eradication: is it time to give up? Science May 12, 2006 Roberts, Leslie

But Gates ploughs on regardless whilst his plans will result in causing thousands of cases of a twice as deadly indistinguishable disease, called non polio accute flaccid paralysis [NPAFP].  This will be the result of the especially intensive vaccination campaigns which it seems will continue until not one case of polio is reported: New Paper – Polio Vaccine – Disease Caused by Vaccine Twice As Fatal – Polio Eradication Impossible

To get an idea of the figures take the 47,500 NPAFP cases just in India against the 205 cases total worldwide of polio.  Bill Gates wants to cause the current NPAFP equivalent of 235 years of polio cases but for a disease, NPAFP which is twice as fatal as polio.  Third world children and their families will pay the price with Bill tucked up comfortably in Seattle USA with his billions.

And last night the BBC were sucking up big-time to the world’s second richest man when what Gates’ plans mean and why he is really doing this deserves full investigation and reporting.  Clearly, the BBC’s independence and reputation for reliable reporting is no more and long gone.

W.H.O. AND OTHER EXPERTS BELIEVE POLIO ERADICATION IMPOSSIBLE

The polio vaccination campaign experts who believe eradication impossible include Isao Arita, a WHO expert from Japan, Donald A. Henderson, the director of the smallpox program, polio expert Konstantin Chumakov of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Vadim Agol of the Russian Academy of Medical Science’s Chumakov Institute for Poliomyelitis. Arita in 1990 started directing the polio eradication campaign in the Western Pacific in 1997 and who predicated his faith in medicine’s ability to triumph over viruses.

Dr Puliyel’s paper implies that polio eradication is impossible because an artificial virus from a lab could leak out and circulate: New Paper – Polio Vaccine – Disease Caused by Vaccine Twice As Fatal – Polio Eradication Impossible

Whilst such leaks are possible and have happened with other viruses, there are other issues about man-made polio viruses affecting the feasibility of eradication and the continued circulation of the polio virus. Leaks from a laboratory of an artificial virus are not the main or only issue affecting the feasibility of polio eradication.

Additionally, we do not know how much polio virus there is in silent circulation – with asymptomatic non clinical cases.

In other words, the virus may never be eliminated – we do not see the clinical cases. The only cases of polio which are reported are paralytic ones – the reporting system is for paralytic polio cases – cases where paralysis is clearly evident – and very short temporary paralysis cases where the individual rapidly recovers may never be noted as polio or reported.

…. the confirmation in 2000 that vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) can circulate and cause polio outbreaks, making the use of OPV after interruption of wild poliovirus transmission incompatible with a polio-free world. A comprehensive strategy has been developed to minimize the risks …. appropriate long-term biocontainment of poliovirus stocks (whether for vaccine production, diagnosis, or research), the controlled reintroduction of any live poliovirus vaccine (i.e., from an OPV stockpile), and appropriate use of the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). ….. there is wide agreement that no strategy would entirely eliminate the potential risks to a polio-free world.”

Aylward et al, Risk Management in a Polio-Free World, Risk Analysis, Vol. 26, No. 6, 2006. ]

Was Polio the Problem In the First Place

We cannot be sure now whether the paralysis cases of the 1940s and 1950s pandemics were caused by polio virus. In other words, is the elimination of a polio virus relevant to eliminating childhood paralysis cases at all? This is an issue which was being discussed in the 1950s and still appears to be a live issue: “The history of the etiology of poliomyelitis is a history of errors.” J.F. Eggers, Medicine, 1954:

If Not Poliovirus, Then What Is Causing Today’s Cases of Flaccid Paralysis?

The “slow” explosive rise and peaks of the graphs of the supposed 1940s & 50s polio pandemics covering a 20 year period do not fit the known pattern of other infectious diseases – compare the graphs shown here: Vaccines Did Not Save Us – 2 Centuries of Official Statistics

Bill Gates – Buying Immortality In History – By Beating An Already Beaten Disease & Killing Kids

Bill Gates is on a mission to buy himself historical immortality as a philanthropist eradicating the world’s diseases. But the world’s supposedly independent media have failed to tackle what is seriously wrong with this picture.  Gates is using an already beaten disease and his billions to gain for himself the credit in history for its eradication.  Some children who are not at risk of polio will likely die from a disease which is twice as fatal [NPAFP] as a result of the ensuing vaccination campaigns.

Polio has been on its way out for decades with most of the world already polio free and only three countries with 205 cases between them last year.  India, already polio free, has seen over 47,000 cases of NPAFP [non polio acute flaccid paralysis] rising in direct proportion to the number of doses of polio vaccine given. To get an idea of what the Bill Gates proposals will mean with intensive vaccination campaigns to eradicate the last cases of polio is that this will cause the NPAFP equivalent of 235 years of polio cases and Bill will be imposing this on third world children from the comfort of Seattle, USA and his billions of dollars.  There will inevitably be deaths. [BLUE TEXT ADDED 30 Jan 2013].

The polio eradication plans have been condemned in a peer reviewed medical journal with eradication being impossible to achieve, the campaigns causing a disease NPAFP which is twice as fatal, being unethical and not worth the cost to hard-pressed third world economies for the limited benefits:  New Paper – Polio Vaccine – Disease Caused by Vaccine Twice As Fatal – Third World Duped – Scarce Money Wasted – Polio Eradication Impossible – April 7, 2012.

It has been believed by W.H.O. and other experts over at least 10 years that polio eradication is not possible – see this CHS post made 30 Jan 2013 with references: Bill Gates Polio Eradication Plans – To Cause The Polio Equivalent of 235 Years of Cases Of A Twice As Deadly Disease.

But no one seems to dare to challenge the world’s second richest man: a man who ceded his Chairmanship of Microsoft following a long complex European Union investigation into the illegal business practices of Microsoft under his Chairmanship which saw sanctions and a US$326 million fine: Commission concludes on Microsoft investigation, imposes conduct remedies and a fine Brussels, 24 March 2004. 

But tomorrow Gates is giving the BBC’s annual Dimbleby lecture.  This will set out Bill’s vision of how he is to use his billions of dollars to defeat polio seemingly singlehandedly: [Bill Gates: The world can defeat polio 28 January 2013 Fergus Walsh].

Additionally, laying the credit for the fall in polio solely on vaccination campaigns, none of the media mention key factors in the reduction in polio worldwide.  These include Improved economic conditions and natural attentuation of disease.  With these major scientific confounders it is impossible to credit vaccines with defeating such diseases alone or at all.  If vaccines have provided any contribution it is a comparatively much smaller one.

Attenuation is the process by which diseases steadily diminish all by themselves and die out.  It is a well-known phenomenon in medicine:  Vaccines Did Not Save Us – 2 Centuries Of Official Statistics

Improved economic conditions bring the biggest contribution – cleaner water followed by improved nutrition:  How UNICEF Harms Third World Children And Misleads About Their Deaths January 21, 2013.

A significant problem with the existence of an illness like NPAFP is that it raises the question of whether the 1940s and 1950s polio pandemics upon which present-day vaccination campaigns are based were in fact caused by polio or whether the pandemics were of something else.  Those pandemics did not follow the regular repeating cyclical pattern of epidemics and pandemics of other infectious diseases, and were over before the polio vaccine was first introduced, as these US CDC graphs show:

Instead of reporting the facts and issues we see the BBC and world’s media simpering to Gates over his supposed philanthropy:-

Bill Gates: My Plan to Fix The World’s Biggest Problems Wall Street Journal January 25, 2013,Bill Gates

Bill Gates close to completely eradicating polio Washington Post-26 Jan 2013

‘I have no use for money’: Bill Gates plans to use his billions to eradicate polio UK Daily Mail Damian Ghigliotty  21 January 2013

Bill Gates interview: I have no use for money. This is God’s work Neil Tweedie UK The Telegraph 18 Jan 2013

Not only are people around the world not trusting the established for profit media, but this distrust means people are turning to more reliable sources for news. 

Here is a remarkable piece of brown nosing by the BBC’s medical correspondent Fergus Walsh [Bill Gates: The world can defeat polio 28 January 2013 Fergus Walsh, BBC].  It is the only UK media report mentioning the critical peer reviewed journal paper by Dr Puliyel.  

The Puliyel paper Polio programme – let us declare victory and move on is justifiably critical of unethical and dangerous polio campaigns.  But the BBC’s Fergus Walsh fails to mention the main criticisms and their justification. And he misrepresents the only one he does mention

Walsh mentions the criticism that polio vaccine causes the twice as fatal disease NPAFP but fails entirely to mention the critical and strong evidence of the vaccine being the cause of the fatal disease NPAFP – that NPAFP cases rise in direct proportion to the numbers of doses of polio vaccine given.  Walsh also fails to mention the criticism that the vaccine caused 47,000 cases when India is polio free – having zero cases of polio.

Walsh instead claims, without any source or attribution for his claim, that NPAFP can be caused by many other things.  And Walsh says nothing else about any of the other criticisms in the peer reviewed paper by Dr Puliyel – which is also cited on the US National Library of Medicine’s database pubmed.

But then the BBC is not a reliable source of news – as the world has seen recently over the gross sexual abuse of children by ‘Sir’ Jimmy Savile which took place over many decades under the noses of many BBC managers. Not only did no one at the BBC do anything about it, when they had the chance to report the news, the BBC stopped the broadcast going out.

If Bill Gates has business interests or investments in the drug industry, the one place we will never hear of them – if there are any – is from the UK’s BBC.  But if anyone does know if Bill has any such interests or investments or does not and can prove it either way, please do let everyone know.

Whilst Gates company Microsoft was engaging in illegal practices harming the development of healthy necessary competion, his company’s software has been causing vast problems for businesses around the world over decades with an unparalleled history of crashes and bugs.  Gates, having gotten rich on the back of that, now claims he has no need for the money and is doing God’s work.  Which begs the question – why he did not ensure the money was put into developing better software which did not cause so much economic harm – that would be philanthropic – but is Bill Gates really a philanthropist doing “God’s work” or something else, like the work of another less “user friendly” immortal?

Flu Shot Linked to Child Narcolepsy – Reuters Reports

Reuters reports that GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix H1N1 swine flu vaccine has caused 800 cases of narcolepsy in children.  Taking under-reporting into account, this could amount to between at least 5,600 cases or a figure around up to 40,000 in the countries concerned. Cases have been recorded in children from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Ireland and France. Narcolepsy is a serious condition which can debilitate a child for life.  Sufferers can fall asleep on the spot any time without warning.

To gain an idea of the potential extent of this adverse reaction in children caused by this vaccine and to adjust for under-reporting it is necessary to multiply by up to 50 times.  [Under-reporting in all drugs and not just vaccines is 98 in every 100 adverse reactions – hence multiply by 50: Spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting vs event monitoring: a comparison: Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine Volume 84 June 1991 341.]

How UNICEF Harms Third World Children And Misleads About Their Deaths

An Associated Press story shows how UNICEF harms the interests of third world children by using the media to mislead the world. 

UNICEF, a United Nations organisation (originally called United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) exaggerates the effect on the health of third world children of its activities.  UNICEF’s efforts are effectively insignificant compared to the effect of continuing economic growth in the developing world.  Economic growth delivers dramatic health effects.  It brings cleaner water and improved nutrition which are long proven to be the key factors in improving child health and preventing deaths from infectious disease.

UNICEF airbrushes out the effect of economic growth.  UNICEF thus seeks to gain the credit: “the global number of under-five deaths has fallen from around 12 million in 1990 to an estimated 6.9 million in 2011.”: Child deaths fell below 7 million in 2011 – Associated Press September 13, 2012.

The interests of third world children are inevitably harmed.  Avoidable child deaths will occur.  Scarce resources will be and are diverted from the most effective measures as a result of such overt direct manipulation and misleading of the world’s media, politicians and public.

Citing Bangladesh as an example of when “a country’s location and economic status need not be a barrier to reducing child deaths” UNICEF fails to mention that the economy of Bangladesh has grown 5-6% per annum since 1996: Bangladesh Economy Overview The World Fact Book CIA. UNICEF fails to make clear that in Bangladesh “…. the economy accelerated from 1990, driven by a remarkable turnaround …“: Economic growth in Bangladesh: experience and policy priorities.

UNICEF fails to give credit to Bangladesh for using its economic success to deliver clean water to its citizens: The path through the fields – “Bangladesh … has been surprisingly good at improving the lives of its poor” The Economist, Nov 3rd 2012.

UNICEF instead claims vaccines and technology can change things when their effect is marginal in comparison to economic development.  UNICEF claims [emphasis added]:

…. youngsters from disadvantaged and marginalized families in poor and fragile nations are the most likely to die before their fifth birthday, but their lives can be saved with vaccines, adequate nutrition and basic medical and maternal care.

The world has the technology and know-how to do so”  …  “that there is “unfinished business” ….. “That’s why we have this global movement …. to end child deaths. This decline shows we can make this happen.“

The following superb BBC FOUR broadcast by Professor Hans Rosling shows how health improved in step with wealth over the last 200 years “200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers – in just four minutes“:

The main advances in combating disease over 200 years have been better food and clean drinking water.  Improved sanitation, less overcrowded and better living conditions also contribute. This is also borne out in published peer reviewed research:

• “The questionable contribution of medical measures to the decline of mortality in the United States in the twentieth century“. McKinlay JB, McKinlay SM, Milbank Mem Fund Q Health Soc. 1977 Summer; 55(3): 405-28.

• “Symposium: Accomplishments in Child Nutrition during the 20th Century.  Infant Mortality in the 20th Century, Dramatic but Uneven Progress” Myron E. Wegman School of Public Health, University of Michigan: J. Nutr. 131: 401S–408S, 2001.

This can also be seen from the graphs here: Vaccines Did Not Save Us – 2 Centuries of Official Statistics

UNICEF is an agency of a political organisation, the United Nations, which is dominated by developed nations.  And it has for decades been harming the interests of third world children by buying cheap and known-to-be dangerous vaccines like Urabe strain MMR as well as mercury laced vaccines like DTP and giving them to third world children. 

In addition, third world children still die from infectious diseases despite vaccines.  It is a scandal of the 21st Century that organisations like UNICEF do nothing to develop effective treatments for basic childhood diseases.  With such treatments we could save up to 7 million needless deaths annually.  UNICEF is doing nothing to ensure such treatments are developed.

The AP story was based on a UNICEF report.  No doubt UNICEF’s Director and other senior staff will use reports  like that to continue to seek a substantial annual budget and issue more similar reports in future to justify their existence and annual salaries.

What can also be said is that media reports and news releases emanating from UNICEF are not to be trusted.

American parents awarded £600000 in compensation after their son developed autism as a result of MMR vaccine

The UK’s Daily Mail newspaper has reported on a recent US Federal Court decision:

American parents awarded £600,000 in compensation after their son developed autism as a result of MMR vaccine

By David Gardner, Daily Mail [UK] 15 January 2013

• Saeid and Parivash Mojabi claimed their son suffered a ‘severe brain injury’
• The Californian couple said that son Ryan was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder

CHS has reported on this breaking news here:

US Court Awards Multi-Million Dollar Payouts To Two More US Children With Vaccine Caused Autism

The story has been covered in The Huffington Post here by David Kirby, the journalist who broke the Hannah Poling story in 2008:

Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism David Kirby Huffington Post 14th January 2013.

US Court Awards Multi-Million Dollar Payouts To Two More US Children With Vaccine Caused Autism

This breaking news is reported by award winning journalist David Kirby, who in 2008 broke the Hannah Poling story.

The two new cases are reported here:  Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism David Kirby Huffington Post 14th January 2013.

The children in the successful new cases are Ryan Mojabi aged 10 from Northern California and Emily Moller.

Hannah Poling developed an autistic condition after receiving 9 vaccines in one day.  Following the US government conceding her case in 2008, her damages award over her lifetime is reported to be US$20 million:  US Government In US$20 million Legal Settlement For Vaccine Caused Autism Case

After the story broke in 2008, the US Centres for Disease Control Director Julie Gerberding conceded on US national broadcast TV that vaccines can cause autistic conditions.  And the US Health Resources and Services Administration [HRSA] also confirmed to CBS News that vaccines can cause autistic conditions: Vaccination Causes Autism – Say US Government & Merck’s Director of Vaccines

In 2012 the UK’s Daily Mail reported the Italian Court decision on an Italian child, Valentino Bocca, awarded damages for autism caused by the MMR vaccine.  This is the same MMR vaccine, Merck’s MMR II, used in the USA and in the UK: MMR: A mother’s victory. The vast majority of doctors say there is no link between the triple jab and autism, but could an Italian court case reignite this controversial debate? By Sue Reid – Daily Mail 15 June 2012

The UK’s Independent further reported another 100 cases are pending in Italy: Italian court reignites MMR vaccine debate after award over child with autism Paul Bignell The Independent on Sunday 17 June 2012.

The UK’s previous Secretary of State for Health, Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP was reported in British media saying that the Italian Court’s decision was “potentially significant”.

With these new US cases the position must be more significant still.

This issue will not go away – in the USA there are now 1 in 88 children with autistic conditions – and higher in other states like New Jersey:  Shocking New US Official Autism Figures – Kids With Autistic Conditions At Record High 1 in 88, 1 in 54 Boys

In the UK it is 1 in 64 children according to Cambridge University research: “Prevalence of autism-spectrum conditions: UK school-based population study” Baron-Cohen S, Scott FJ, Allison C, Williams J, Bolton P, Matthews FE and Brayne C (2009) British Journal of Psychiatry, 194: 500-509.

If children went blind at this rate it would be being treated as an international disaster.

The world also has a short memory.  People forget what CDC Director Julie Gerberding stated on US national broadcast news and what the US HRSA told CBS News in writing.

The Hannah Poling story was one of the top ten US news stories in 2008 and continued to be reported coast to coast in 2009.

All 2008 US presidential candidates were quoted publicly on the autism issue – trying to gain votes:  AUTISM – US Court Decisions and Other Recent Developments – It’s Not Just MMR

But their expressions of interest appear to have been no more than vote catching – particularly in the case of US President Barak Obama whose administration is proposing unethical anthrax vaccine tests on underprivileged US children:  Anthrax Vaccine Tests On Underprivileged US Children Planned By Obama Administration – Public Meeting 14-15th January – University of Miami

Anthrax Vaccine Tests On Underprivileged US Children Planned By Obama Administration – Public Meeting 14-15th January – University of Miami

According to the respected NY USA Charity, AHRP [the Alliance for Human Research Protection] President Obama’s administration is proposing to change US law to test anthrax vaccines and other bioterrorism counter-measures on underprivileged US children.  Obama’s proposals appear to violate fundamental medical ethical principles mandated under the Nuremberg Code after the atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II, 1939-45.

These US children are also more likely than not to be black US children due to the inequalities in the US social, economic and political systems.

There is action you can take about this – see below for where to send emails and to download and read yourself the official US government documents announcing consultations on these issues.

Also remember when reading the following CHS previously asked HERE “How can you know how dangerous the vaccines given to your child are?  Should you trust government health officials’ assurances?  What can you do to protect your child from your own government?”

If AHRP is correct, this is serious.  The official warnings for the anthrax vaccine [full details below] include that:

Approximately 6% of the reported events were listed as serious. Serious adverse events include those that result in death, hospitalization, permanent disability or are life-threatening. ”

Also remember that when Barak Obama first came to the American people to get your votes he stated:

We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Some people are suspicious that it’s connected to the vaccines. This person included. The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.“

Obama Climbs On The Vaccine Research Bandwagon David Kirby Huffington Post 22 April 2008

But now it is being suggested he is ready to sell underprivileged US children down the river to be used as test fodder for experimental vaccines.  The USA has a history of using underprivileged people and particularly black people for medical experiments.  It is not a country with a good human rights record.  This does not do much for Obama’s US human and civil rights record.

Advancing Honest and Ethical Medical Research

A public meeting of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues has been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, January 14-15, to be held at the University of Miami Hospital Seminar Center, Florida:

The stated topic for discussion is “ethical issues associated with the development of medical countermeasures for children.” For full details download this official document http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-31037.pdf 

The Obama Administration is seeking approval to conduct morally impermissible, wholly non-therapeutic medical experiments that would expose healthy children to risks of serious harm. Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services is seeking to test the highly controversial, dangerous Anthrax vaccine, on children.

Express Your Views to the Commission’s Director: Hillary.Viers@bioethics.gov

For over a year, the Commission has been attempting to find a rationale for endorsing a proposed government policy that would violate fundamental medical ethics principles. Principles mandated under the Nuremberg Code after the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime came to light.

Under US Law, research involving greater than minimal risk and no prospect of direct benefit to individual [child] subjects, is prohibited in healthy children. (45 CFR 46, subpart D).

If not stopped, the US government would override ethical and legal prohibitions by testing “medical countermeasures” on unprotected children who are legally incapable of giving informed consent.

The government would subject healthy but socioeconomically deprived American children to unjustifiable risks of harm–to be exploited as human guinea pigs.

The overarching question — not specified by the Commission or the Administration — is, WHOSE CHILDREN ARE TO BE SELECTED for experiments that violate ethical and moral standards?

If history is a guide, underprivileged children’s best interest will sacrificed to serve as a means to an end that will benefit powerful commercial and government entities.

More than a decade has passed since the US was attacked by terrorists, Sept. 11, 2001. No biochemical weapon has ever been shown to pose a threat to Americans — neither military personnel nor civilians. The only exception was the mailing of anthrax laced envelopes in October, 2001, by a US military scientist, from a US military laboratory – who is now dead.

There is no evidence whatsoever of an anthrax threat to American children.

Therefore, those who even consider exposing children to the documented harmful effects of the anthrax vaccine suffer from a “moral deficit disorder.”

Express Your Views to the Commissions Director, Hillary.Viers@bioethics.gov

Overarching all considerations are the questions:

WHOSE CHILDREN WILL BE EXPOSED TO THE SERIOUS RISKS OF THE ANTHRAX VACCINE–WITHOUT ANY POTENTIAL BENEFIT FOR THEM?

WHOSE CHILDREN WILL BE USED AS HUMAN GUINEA PIGS?

Below are the warnings on the Anthrax Vaccine label.

FDA-Approved Label Warning (31 JAN 2002) ANTHRAX VACCINE ADSORBED (BIOTHRAX™)

EXCERPT

Approximately 6% of the reported events were listed as serious. Serious adverse events include those that result in death, hospitalization, permanent disability or are life-threatening.

The serious adverse events most frequently reported were in the following body system categories: general disorders and administration site conditions, nervous system disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, and musculoskeletal, connective tissue and bone disorders.

Anaphylaxis and/or other generalized hypersensitivity reactions, as well as serious local reactions, were reported to occur occasionally following administration of BioThrax. None of these hypersensitivity reactions have been fatal.

Other infrequently reported serious adverse events that have occurred in persons who have received BioThrax have included:

cellulitis, cysts, pemphigus vulgaris, endocarditis, sepsis, angioedema and other hypersensitivity reactions, asthma, aplastic anemia, neutropenia, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, lymphoma, leukemia, collagen vascular disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, polyarteritis nodosa, inflammatory arthritis, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, immune deficiency, seizure, mental status changes, psychiatric disorders, tremors, cerebrovascular accident (CVA), facial palsy, hearing and visual disorders, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, syncope, glomerulonephritis, renal failure, spontaneous abortion and liver abscess. Infrequent reports were also received of multisystem disorders defined as chronic symptoms involving at least two of the following three categories: fatigue, mood-cognition, musculoskeletal system.

Reports of fatalities included sudden cardiac arrest (2), myocardial infarction with polyarteritis nodosa (1), aplastic anemia (1), suicide (1) and central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (1).

Revised  package insert (May 2012) provides additional cause for alarm.

EXCERPT

1.  The vaccine is dangerous in pregnancy.  (Pregnancy Category D*:  evidence of harm exists)

BioThrax can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.”

Of women who received vaccine within 90 days of the estimated date of conception (n = 14), 2 spontaneous abortions and a first trimester intra-utero fetal death were reported, along with one report of a healthy term infant with mild right clubbed foot abnormality. ”  page 6

Fifty-one pregnancies occurred during the trial. The package insert states,

Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus.”  page 15

2.  The Gulf War Syndrome definition remains a reported adverse event in the most recent version of the package insert:

Infrequent reports were also received of multisystem disorders defined as chronic symptoms involving at least two of the following three categories:

fatigue, mood-cognition, and musculoskeletal system.” page 9

3.  The vaccine hurts more than other vaccines.

“Up to 11% of subjects rated the brief pain or burning they experienced immediately after vaccine injection as 8 out of 10 or greater.” page 5

4. The “Information for Patients” page states, on page 16:

What are the possible or reasonably likely side effects of BioThrax?

• Pain, tenderness, redness, bruising, or problems moving the arm in which you got the shot
• Muscle aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Fainting”

Court Fines Doctor Who Did Not Tell Patient Hepatitis B Vaccine Causes Multiple Sclerosis

A French Court has fined a doctor 3000 Euros for failing to inform a patient of all side effects of a vaccination.  This included the risk of multiple sclerosis from the Hepatitis B vaccine.

This is an important decision which reinforces in law the doctor’s obligation to obtain informed consent from a patient.

Commercially Corrupted Medicine Leading Cause of Death in USA – Washington Post

Consider the following and then ask – “How can you know how dangerous the vaccines given to your child are?  Should you trust government health officials’ assurances?  What can you do to protect your child from your own government?”

Can Medical Research be Trusted? – Washington Post

Republished from AHRP Infomail 4/Jan/2013

From NY USA charity – Alliance for Human Research Protection – www.ahrp.org [AHRP ]
Advancing Honest and Ethical Medical Research

Commercially corrupted medicine is the leading cause of death in the US—and it is bankrupting the US budget.  The Washington Post is addressing both issues in a powerful hard hitting investigative series by Peter Whoriskey titled: Can Medical Research be Trusted?

The focus of the series is on Pharma’s – orchestrated corruption in collaboration with academic scientists and prestigious journals—e.g., The New England Journal of Medicine–provided the authority and veneer of legitimacy to fraudulent, often ghostwritten research reports that claimed that lethal drugs were safe and beneficial while concealing the most severe, lethal adverse effects of prescription drugs, which are a leading cause of death.

The series shines a light on industry manipulated data that was used to gain FDA approval and to “negotiate” the content of FDA- approved labels.  And on medical practice guidelines—such as the recently revised, American Psychiatric Association (DSM5) diagnostic and treatment manual—have been crafted by scientists with copious financial ties to companies whose products they promote.

The resounding verdict—much as our own five-part series, America’s Healthcare Crisis — is that medical research, medical journals, medical practice guidelines, FDA advisory panels, and doctors—all of who are bankrolled by the pharmaceutical industry—cannot be trusted!

Unfortunately, the entire evidence base has been perverted,” said Joseph Ross, a professor at Yale Medical School who has studied the issue. 

Another insightful, prominent critic who has examined internal company data, Dr. David Healy, describes the evolution of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that came into favor in the wake of thalidomide as a method to evaluate drugs and their risks.

They were supposed to keep ineffective drugs off the market, but companies have learned that you can do any number of trials and if even some show a marginal benefit they can get their drug on the market and the others can be suppressed so no one has a true picture of the effects of the drug. Once on the market, the favorable RCTs are turned into a turbo-charger to boost sales even for debatably effective drugs. The risks get written out of the script by ghostwriters and creative publication strategies.”

Those “creative publication strategies” provided a reassuring message to physicians: do not hesitate to prescribe patented drugs widely, at high doses, for approved and unapproved conditions.Doctors have readily adopted commercially driven medical practices–they do not suffer any harm from the harmful drugs they prescribe or recommend—they are shielded by their professional status.

Thus, harmful drugs of no demonstrable clinical value have been catapulted into billion dollar blockbuster sellers. These are not bloodless crimes: there are hundreds of thousands of human casualties whose lives were sacrificed to increase profits.

You could say these marketing tactics are merely concerning.  But I think of them as satanic. What the data are telling us is that these drugs are ruining people’s lives,” said  Phillip Prior, MD

Indeed, the most recent report in series, focusing on the skyrocketing prescriptions of opiates–from 76 million prescriptions in 1991 to 219 million prescriptions in 2011 (December 30, 2012). Peter Whoriskey notes:

“The label on the drug, which was approved by the FDA, said the risks of addiction were “reported to be small.”  The New England Journal of Medicine, the nation’s premier medical publication, informed readers that studies indicated that such painkillers pose “a minimal risk of addiction.” 

Another important journal study, which the manufacturer of OxyContin reprinted 10,000 times, indicated that in a trial of arthritis patients, only a handful showed withdrawal symptoms. Those reassuring claims, which became part of a scientific consensus

But Lisa Roberts, the public health nurse, whose primary job is to reduce the fatalities associated with drug use, said:

Around here, we call it ‘pharmageddon.’ “This has been absolutely devastating to Appalachia. From what we’ve seen, the risks of addiction were tremendous.”

Not only has the profession sold its integrity, its leaders and practitioners have become partners in fraud and deception—doctors have become accessories to manslaughter.Each report in the series provides details about hidden relationships of prominent physicians who participate in criminal marketing of prescription drugs. The perversion of medical science is the root cause that led the FDA to grant marketing approval to deadly drugs and continued for years to turn a blind eye to catastrophic deadly consequences.

At least 22 drugs that had been approved since 1993 were withdrawn after causing hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. See list at: http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/861/56/
The deadly examples highlighted in The Washington Post investigation include drugs that were withdrawn after they killed hundreds of thousands of people, and drugs that continue to kill:

Painkillers Vioxx (Merck) and OxyContin (Purdue); antidepressants  Wellbutrin (GlaxoSmithKline);  diabetes, Avandia (GlaxoSmithKline); osteoperosis, Fosamax (Merck); heart failure, Natrecor (Scios); anemia drugs, Epogen / Procrit / Aranesp ( Amgen and Johnson & Johnson).

Other issues that the Washington Post should examine is the unprecedented encouragement to prescribe powerful psychotropic drugs widely for children and pregnant women–even as there is data showing increased risk of serious harm.  A long overdue examination is called for about the role–if any–that psychotropic drugs have played in random school shooting rampages.It is extremely frustrating to realize that no matter how compelling the accumulation of evidence demonstrating that medicine has been perverted from a  healing profession that focused on patients’ best interest, into a profession of licensed accomplices in a vast commercially-driven enterprise, doctors continue to abuse their professional status and license for cash with impunity. Doctors pathologize normal behavior, including childhood and grief,  and doctors promote the prescribing of highly addictive drugs, drugs that trigger life-shortening disease, and drugs that precipitate violent , suicidal, murderous outbursts.

Thus, harmful drugs of no demonstrable clinical value have been catapulted into billion dollar blockbuster sellers. These are not bloodless crimes: there are hundreds of thousands of human casualties whose lives were sacrificed to increase profits.
