The article quoted at the end of this post says:
“Admittedly, there is something very odd, and slightly disturbing, in the spectacle of a fight over who owns the DNA of a virus that could kill millions of people around the world. Should a country retain property rights to the strains of diseases that plague its citizens? There is also, as always, the niggling question of how the world is to fund the development of new vaccines if the few companies that are capable of producing the medicine aren’t compensated for their efforts. Finally, it would seem to me that there is a clear difference between a U.S. government agency owning a patent and a company such as GlaxoSmithKline staking the claim.”
DNA as property is a terrifying reality. When the US Supreme Court opined that genomes could be patented, the risk to the global biosphere was generally little recognized. Given the unstable and unpredictable consequences of biotechnology insertion of genes into host genomes, and the novel (and potentially harmful or lethal) molecules coded for by this process, the “ownership” of viral DNA sequences is even more ominous.
Weaponization of the avian flu has already taken place through
1. Combining the genome of “seasonal flu” viruses with the then-harmless H5N1 avian flu to find the combinations which yielded enhanced pathogenicity (NIH, 2006),
2. Reconstruction of the genome of the most successful bio weapon in history, the 1918 pandemic flu virus (NIH, Mt Sinai Med. Coll, 2000 – 2006)
3. Intentional combination of the H5N1 virus with the newly reconstructed 1918 pandemic flu genome (NIH, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, 2006).
Vaccines allegedly protective against this novel virus are then developed and, like the Sanofi-Pasteur vaccine manufactured in China after approval in the absence of formal human trials, sold to governments for vast sums of money (e.g., 100M doses @$15 US per dose) for stock piling.
Indonesia now says that it owns its valuable resource, the supposedly deadly Avian Flu virus. The United Nations issued a special report on the thorny question of whether a virus that kills someone in a particular country “belongs” to that country.
Besides the absurdity of owning life, and creating a totally artificial geographic demarcation through which to exercise control of that organism, the impetus to commercialize pathogens for nation states and predatory companies will, I fear, prove irresistible. Now add organized crime and rogue states (large or small) into the mix and you have a recipe far, far more toxic than the supposed pandemic Avian Flu.
Greed and technology are a deadly mix. If you doubt that, look at the so called “Health Care” system in the West and consider that since it makes no money if you are well, its best interest is served by the weaponization of food (i.e., Codex Alimentarius – see my video “Nutricide” on our website, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org or www.YouTube.com/NaturalSolutions) and the demonization of natural prevention and treatment so ubiquitous in the West.
Ownership of life forms, pathogenic or otherwise is, in short, a massive error and a monstrous reality which must be reversed for everyone’s benefit.
On August 21, Andrew Leonard wrote an article called Biopiracy and Bird Flu. That article, which follows, discusses the consequences of the confluence of the US Supreme Court’s decision to allow ownership of organisms, the unbridled greed and lack of ethics of the pharmaceutical/illness care industry and the horrifying reality of the depopulation agenda which, thanks to blatant hubris and Freedom of Information Act suits, is no longer speculation but fact.
Prince Phillip yearning to “come back” as an Ebola virus so that he can help depopulate the planet and Henry Kissinger’s Memo 200, the Council on Foreign Relations documents, the Phillipine Supreme Court’s finding that WHO vaccines did, indeed, contain permanent sterility agents which sterilized some 3 million unsuspecting women (and the use of the same technology in Africa, South and Central America, South East Asia and elsewhere) followed by the tardy admission of the World Health Organization that they were using such agents mixed into vaccines are part of a patchwork of death and global supremacy which is horrifyingly plain to see, yet tragically, criminally, perhaps, overlooked by the MMD (Media of Mass Deception).
The worm, or perhaps the virus, is turning now, though. Those very countries which would first be the targets of these depopulation plans and programs (the developed world is in the plan, too – Kissinger stated that depopulation should be the US’s first foreign policy priority starting with the third world, remember) have noticed that at least short term gains, but very substantial ones, can come from controlling, weaponizing and commercializing those lethal viruses among themselves. After all, once exposed to deadly agents like dioxin, ordinary viruses can mutate into very profitable killers. The US obligingly contaminated large parts of South East Asia with dioxin and other deadly poisons.
Moreover, vaccinated birds, not outside flocks, develop avian flu through mutations since they are raised in toxic environments (the birds in their industrialized chicken coops and the viruses in their poison-rich test tubes and growth bottles) and induced to mutation by those toxic conditions.
Now nations like Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Viet Nam and a host of others are ready for the Big Time: ready to develop, sell or license their deadly dollar cargo to the even bigger boys: the US, WHO or Big Pharma. All of this falls apart, of course, if the Bigger Boys get their hands and microscopes and vats on these “resources” first.
As events would have it, the fears that they will be done out of their valuable resources is quite accurate. Indonesia is not going to like the fact that a WHO affiliate, the CDC, has applied for a patent on the genome of the Indonesian Avian Flu. Nor will it be happy with the fact that GlaxoSmithKlein is manufacturing a “preventive” Avian Flu vaccine using strains from Viet Nam and elsewhere. So these fears about loosing significant revenue are not unfounded.
Do you find something wrong with this picture? The Natural Solutions Foundation certainly finds the trend, and the mindset, beyond ominous.
Let’s say you’ve got a lab, a virus and a hereditary tribe your people have been warring with for a thousand years. Like the “Islamic Nuclear Bomb” (or the Capitalist Nuclear Bomb), or Depleted Uranium or any other weapon of mass destruction, the mutated, weaponized virus in your tanks could be used on your enemies with the ever present justification that people build for themselves in situations like this. Or, if vaccines were to actually work, you could imagine giving the vaccine to your people and unleashing the disease on the other tribe.
Or, if you are the US, you could stockpile untested, not particularly safe or effective vaccines which would cause widespread… what? Illness? Death? Cancer? Infertility? Adult Autism? Novel vulnerabilities or diseases? Remember, there is no liability in the US for whatever a previously approved drug or vaccine does to you or your child or your mother or your ….
Merchants of death, indeed. Is this the world we want to leave to our children? What are you ready to do about it?

Now, here is the Salon.com article referred to above:
In late 2006, Indonesia sparked a furor in the international public health community when the country announced it would no longer supply samples of the H5N1 strain of bird flu to the World Health Organization. It wasn’t fair, complained the developing nation, which is second only to Vietnam in recorded cases of human deaths from bird flu: Indonesia was providing crucial data for researchers working on vaccines, but prices for proprietary pharmaceutical products resulting from that data were too high for most Indonesians to afford. If you want to understand why citizens of developing nations get aggrieved about biopiracy, there’s a clue.
After a flurry of worldwide publicity, Indonesia relented, and in March announced it would resume sending samples to the W.H.O., provided that the samples were not made available to commercial organizations. The debate over how best to serve the interests of both developing nations and pharmaceutical companies was by no means resolved, and according to the New York Times, Indonesia received only a tepid promise from W.H.O. “not to pass their samples on to commercial manufacturers without consulting the health minister of the country that provided the sample,” but a clear point had been made.
Now in what appears to be something of a scoop, a freelancer writer and specialist in patents has revealed that even as Indonesia was threatening to withhold its samples, the United States government was applying for an international patent on a new vaccine that incorporates genetic code derived from Indonesian avian influenza samples.
Writes Edward Hammond, in the Aug. 15 issues of SUNS:
In a development that is likely to raise more pressing questions about reform of the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN), an international patent application has surfaced in which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. National Institutes of Health claim ownership of Indonesian influenza genes.
A recent patent search has revealed that the CDC, which is a WHO collaborating centre, is applying for a patent for a new vaccine against influenza, particularly for bird flu (H5N1). The vaccine incorporates genes from a H5N1 strain isolated from an Indonesian human victim of bird flu in 2005.
The strain that contains the genes was transferred to the WHO GISN by Indonesia for characterization for public health purposes, but may wind up as the property of the US government.
Under U.S. law, the U.S. government agencies would offer licenses to the technology to pharmaceutical companies. The patent application indicates that the US government intends to pursue the claim in most countries of the world, including Indonesia itself, as well as neighboring countries.
One follower of intellectual property and public health at the blog IPMed found the patent application “troubling”:
The patent application raises specific questions about the US CDC, which is a WHO Collaborating Center for influenza virus studies. The WHO Collaborating Centers receive influenza viruses from donor countries for public health characterization purposes, and not for the purposes of making proprietary claims. The Global Influenza Surveillance Network’s effectiveness rests on the prompt sharing of and access to viruses from all donors. However, one wonders how many donor countries will wish to continue to share influenza viruses for research and vaccine development if it is that Governments who operate Collaborating Centers are minded to make proprietary claims over the materials which they have received as a result of the GISN system. Obviously this patent application built on the back of the GISN system of virus sharing will call into question the entire system and may very well undermine its effectiveness.
Admittedly, there is something very odd, and slightly disturbing, in the spectacle of a fight over who owns the DNA of a virus that could kill millions of people around the world. Should a country retain property rights to the strains of diseases that plague its citizens? There is also, as always, the niggling question of how the world is to fund the development of new vaccines if the few companies that are capable of producing the medicine aren’t compensated for their efforts. Finally, it would seem to me that there is a clear difference between a U.S. government agency owning a patent and a company such as GlaxoSmithKline staking the claim.
Unless, of course, the U.S. does end up licensing its patent to Big Pharma without requiring some developing nation equity, in return.

The Pharmaceutical Cartel is concerned… people are not dying to take their latest concoction: a “pre-pandemic” vaccine!
In an extraordinary announcement, the Wellcome Trust, is providing funding to find out why the H5N1 Virus, widely advertised as the organism that would create the mother of all pandemics, has so far failed to live up to its billing.
Before looking at the remarkable interest which this Trust has supporting this study, we should know a bit about the Wellcome Foundation. A quick visit to its web site, http://www.wellcome.ac.uk, tells us a heart warming story:
In 1880, two young Americans – Silas Mainville Burroughs and Henry Wellcome – established a pharmaceutical company, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. In 1895, Silas Burroughs died, leaving the company in the hands of his partner. The firm flourished under Wellcome’s leadership.
Henry Wellcome set up several research laboratories loosely linked to the drugs company – a highly original step at the time – and employed some of the most outstanding scientists of the day. He also indulged his passion for collecting artefacts related to medicine.
In 1924, Henry Wellcome consolidated all his commercial and non-commercial activities under one corporate umbrella: The Wellcome Foundation Limited. He died in 1936, at which time the Wellcome Trust was established.
In his will, Wellcome vested the entire share capital of the drug company, The Wellcome Foundation Limited, in individual Trustees. The Trustees were charged with spending the income according to Sir Henry’s wishes.
http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/History/index.htm
We also learn that “The Wellcome Trust remained the sole shareholder of The Wellcome Foundation Limited until 1986. In that year, the Foundation became a public limited company, Wellcome plc, and was floated on the London stock market. The company merged with Glaxo plc in 1995, to form a new company, Glaxo Wellcome plc, and merged again with SmithKline Beecham plc in 2000 to form GlaxoSmithKline. “http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/History/Wellcome-business/index.htm
A look at GlaxoSmithKline tells us that in July, 2006 it announced in a Washington Post article that a new version of a vaccine against a strain of H5N1 virus that killed people in Viet Nam in 2004 was worthless without a new, secret adjuvant but people developed antibodies to very low doses of the vaccine with the adjuvant. Adjuvants are immune irritants like aluminum (associated with Alzheimer’s Disease), sqalene (associated with lethal auto immune responses) and other highly toxic substances. No mention is made of safety or safety testing for this secret adjuvant in the article.
The same article goes on to say that authorities generally require 70% of a population to develop antibodies to a vaccine if it is to be accepted as “safe and effective” medicine for us (throwing the entire “theory” of “herd immunity” into a very cocked hat, indeed, by the way). The same article also mentions, very close to the bottom, that it is not at all certain the vaccine against the 2004 Viet Nam H5N1 strain would confer immunity or protection in the event of an avian flu pandemic contagion, noting, “A key unanswered question is whether the antibodies against that strain would protect a person against other strains.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/26/AR2006072601716.html
On May 19, 2008, Medical News Today noted that “Many experts believe it is only a matter of time before the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus, which currently humans can only catch from infected birds, mutates into a form that spreads easily from human to human and when it does so it will kill millions of people all over the world.” and enthused that “Global pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is the first to get the go ahead for a wide spectrum vaccine to protect humans ahead of a possible future bird flu pandemic now that the European Commission (EC) is giving the drug giant approval today, Monday, to market its pre-pandemic vaccine Prepandrix in all 27 member states of the European Union (EU), according to various media reports.”
The same article notes, ” Chief executive of GSK, Jean-Pierre Garnier said that:
‘This vaccine marks a significant step in the world’s ability to cope with an influenza pandemic.”
“It is testament to GSK scientists who have pioneered the approach to pre-pandemic vaccination, demonstrating our commitment to doing everything we can to help prevent the devastating effects of a pandemic,” he added.
Although Prepandrix has only just received its first regulatory approval, countries such as the US, Switzerland and Finland have already started stockpiling the vaccine, sales of which last year topped 200 million US dollars (102 million GB pounds). GSK said stockpiling means countries will be able to deal with an outbreak sooner rather than waiting for a vaccine to be developed for a particular strain….
“This drug represents one of the swing factors affecting us in 2008.” http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107910.php
This means, of course, that the US is already stockpiling a vaccine which it has neither tested nor approved. A vaccine created on a premise which is totally untried and tested: that a vaccine against something that killed somebody will provide protection for somebody else if they encounter another type of pathogenic (disease causing) organism. It’s an interesting, and apparently highly profitable theory, but does it have much to do with reality? And just how safe is this vaccine with the super secret adjuvant? [Using an untested drug is treated as a crime in the US. How has this law been circumvented? REL]
Next it is instructive to note that, having already made a great deal of money on a unvetted vaccine based on an untested premise from the US and other countries where it has not been approved, the ever ethical GlaxoSmithKlein announced at ClinicalTrails.Gov a US clinical trial in adults for a vaccine already being stockpiled in the US:
July 2008
Sponsors and Collaborators: GlaxoSmithKline [and] Department of Health and Human Services
Information provided by: GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00719043
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether [emphasis added – REL] GSK’s avian flu vaccine GSK 1557484A is immunogenic [that is, does it produce an immune response, not whether it is safe or works – REL] when given to adults aged >=18 years.
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00719043
Before we go on, we should recall that Avian Flu vaccines are rich plums and are pretty low hanging as well: the vaccines do not have to be particularly safe or effective, just profitable. Very profitable, with Congress providing the “insurance” against vaccine induced injury (supported by a special vaccine tax vaccine “consumers” are forced to pay) that guarantees these endless profits.
The standards for vaccines are bargain basement science: some sort of immunological response has to be produced, but the person does not necessarily wind up being “protected” (which is why most epidemics occur in totally or nearly totally vaccinated populations) and safety is assessed so lightly and so poorly that, in the context of guaranteed immunity from any prosecution or liability findings in any court in the US, vaccine companies have little trouble picking those fruits. See, for example,
GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Iomi Land Avian Flu Vaccine Contracts
January 17, 2007 · Filed Under Generalby H.S. Ayoub
BioHealth Investor.comThe Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has awarded GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics (NVS) and Iomi (IOMI) all a total of $133 million in funding for the development of H5N1 Avain Flu vaccines.
GSK’s contract will total $63 million over 5 years, while Novartis will receive $55 million over the same period.
http://www.biohealthinvestor.com/2007/01/glaxosmithkline-novartis-and-iomi-land-avian-flu-vaccine-contracts.html
Now on to the search for the Perfect Pandemic storm: Here is the press release provided a few days ago to hail the generous funding of the Wellcome Trust to help scientists figure out what is taking the pandemic H5N1 flu so long to get started. Considering that in 2006 the US Government is reported to have mailed unprotected, unmarked vials of the newly reconstituted Pandemic 1918 flu virus to labs and hospitals all over the world (was that genome inserted in an H5N1 strain of Avian Flu or not? – the Natural Solutions Foundation does not yet have that information but would greatly appreciate knowing whether it was; we know people from government sites read this blog… won’t one of you become a whistle blower and save the lives of millions?). The media reports that several people are reported to have died from various strains of H5N1. It is remarkable, indeed, that after all that research, and all that hype, there is no H5N1, or H7N1 or any other Avian Flu Pandemic – YET.
Does the Welcome Trust aim to do something about that?

“Scientists examine bird flu infections to monitor for ‘pandemic’ mutations”
Scientists funded by the Wellcome Trust are to examine what is preventing the H5N1 avian influenza virus from causing a human pandemic and what mutations are required to realise its deadly potential. The research could hold the key to early identification of a potential influenza pandemic, and to developing drugs and a vaccine.
Since its reappearance in 1997, the H5N1 influenza virus has caused disease and death in millions of birds around the globe. The number of infections in humans is still relatively small, however: from 2003 to the end of June 2008 there had been 385 known cases in humans, 243 of them fatal(1). So far, there appear to have been very few cases of human-to-human transmission.
Professor Ten Feizi at Imperial College London believes one reason why H5N1 has not yet evolved into an effective pathogen capable of widespread transmission between humans lies in how the virus attaches itself to the respiratory tract. She is leading an international research project which has received over £720,000 from the Wellcome Trust to identify the receptor molecules in the human respiratory tract to which viruses attach and to look at how changes in the binding protein on the surface of the virus might increase its ability to attach to the tract and cause infection.
Professor Feizi will work with Professors Menno de Jong and Jeremy Farrar from the Wellcome Trust’s South East Asia Programme in Vietnam, Dr Alan Hay and Dr Steve Gamblin at the Medical Research Council National Institute for Medical Research, London, and Dr Mikhail Matrosovich at the Philipps University of Marburg, Germany.
“Over the last few years particularly in Asia we have seen just how deadly the H5N1 virus can be,” says Professor Farrar from the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where a number of people have been treated for infection by the virus. “So far, we have been relatively fortunate and there has been only limited evidence of the virus transmitting from human to human. The more we understand about the virus, how it interacts with the body, the better we will be prepared for any serious mutations that may arise.”
In humans, influenza infection occurs via the respiratory tract, or airway. In order to cause disease, the virus must enter the body’s cells where it can replicate and spread, but it must first find a site to which it can attach, known as a receptor. The virus can only attach to and enter the cells if the receptor fits into the binding proteins, or haemagglutinins (the “H” in H5N1), on the surface of the virus.
Previous research has shown that the haemagglutinin on H5N1 favours a particular form of receptor known as a “2,3 receptor”. These are abundant on cells of birds, but in humans are found mostly on cells of the lower respiratory tract (the lungs). Professor Feizi and colleagues have shown that mucus in the upper airway in humans also contains 2,3 receptors, but here the mucus acts as a defence mechanism to which the virus binds, blocking its progress and enabling the body to “sweep out” the virus. Both factors suggest that huge doses of the virus are required in order to infect humans, a theory supported by evidence that those who have become infected have spent large amounts of time in close proximity to infected fowl.
As with all viruses, H5N1 is continually mutating, and it is changes that allow the virus to attach to “2,6 receptors” in the human upper airway which may enable the virus to become more infectious to humans.
“If the bird flu virus evolves to favour the receptors in our nose and throat like normal flu, the results could be devastating,” says Professor Feizi from the Division of Medicine at Imperial College London. “We could have a virus which is not only highly infectious but is easily transmissible by coughing and sneezing.”
Dr Hay and Dr Gamblin will isolate haemagglutinin from samples of the virus taken from the patients in Vietnam, and Dr Matrosovich will grow cultures of human airway cells and isolate cell-membrane receptors and secreted mucus. Then, using a technique known as neoglycolipid (NGL) microarray analysis developed by Professor Feizi and her colleagues, the team at Imperial College will identify which of the various receptor structures the haemagglutinins bind most strongly to. Dr Gamblin’s team will then use X-ray crystallography to probe, at the molecular level, how mutations might cause the bird virus to change into a human virus.
“If we can find out which mutations of haemagglutinin prefer which receptors, we may be able to identify quickly or even predict which mutations give the virus pandemic potential,” says Professor Feizi.
Current antiviral treatments for influenza, such as Tamiflu, target neuraminidase (the “N” in H5N1), which is responsible for allowing the virus to jump off receptors on one cell and bind to those on another cell, and to replicate and spread once inside the body.
“Targeting the virus’s ability to bind to the receptors – which until now has proved far more difficult – may provide an alternative, more effective way of preventing infection,” says Professor Feizi. “We hope that our work will make this process simpler and faster.”

Here is my question to you, dear reader: Are you convinced by the tag line which comprises the very last paragraph of this press release? Or, given the financial investment of the drug companies in having, not preventing, a pandemic, would you put your money on the “Where did that super Pandemic get to? By George, let’s go find it!” horse?

Compulsory drugging is wrong, as far as I am concerned. Mandatory vaccination is compulsory drugging and is not only wrong, it is unnecessary and dangerous. Disinformation is easily found claiming that vaccination is both safe and effective. These falsehoods are so far from the truth that the Natural Solutions Foundation has filed a Citizens Petition with the Federal Trade Commission urging it to hold public hearings and ban all advertising and information to patients and doctors which claims that vaccination is either safe, effective or both. (That Citizens Petition has been “lost” and illegally denied a total of at least 4 times so far!)
The reality is that vaccination is dangerous and ineffective, despite hundreds of year of propaganda to the contrary.
When the act to establish the Vaccine Police, BARDA, was under consideration, I published an article called “The Syringe of Death: Coming Soon to a Police Station Near You” in which I argued that establishment of BARDA, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Agency by the Richard Burr’s Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 was a very bad, and very dangerous secret agency and should not be created. BARDA was created, none the less, and now serves as the mandatory vaccination police of the Patriot Act “Public Health” fascism.
“The Syringe of Death” is published in full below. Although BARDA was then under consideration and is now a reality, the discussion of this frightening agency is relevant to today’s discussion as is a look at the 4 myths upon which the barbaric, unnecessary and dangerous treatments called “vaccination” or “inoculation” rest.
Frighteningly, the creation of BARDA was announced on April 26, 2007 by the Department of Health and Human Services. Its Secretary at that time, Mike Leavitt, said in his Press Release, “The creation of BARDA enhances the opportunity for innovation in our efforts to develop effective medical countermeasures against a host of public health threats, either natural or man made,†Secretary Leavitt said. “I am pleased that Congress recognized the importance of advanced development in the establishment of BARDA, and the President’s FY 2008 budget request of $189 million for this purpose will help further the department’s efforts to bridge the gap between the National Institutes of Health’s research and development programs and Project BioShield.â€
BARDA, however, is, in essence, a secret Vaccination Police which can, once a “Pandemic” is declared, with or without reason or evidence, require mandatory vaccination for the real or imagined “Pandemic”. If vaccinations were safe or effective, assuming a real Pandemic, of course, perhaps there would be some faint justification for such totalitarian police state tactics in the approach to public health. In fact, vaccination is such a risky activity that it is classified as an un-insurable risk since no insurance company or underwriter in the world will guarantee the financial compensation of those harmed by it – and they are, as we now know, legion.
Documentation of extensive, shameful cover-ups by industry (now absolved from all liability for dangerous vaccines and drugs by a compliant FDA) and government abound and are sadly, old news. Documentation of vaccination dangers abound as well, ranging from the well known tragic and nearly totally preventable autism epidemic to life long neurological dysfunction of many sorts to asthma and immune suppression, leukemias and other cancers, infertility (secondary to UN/US/WHO sponsored vaccination programs in Africa, South and Central America allegedly for diseases like small pox and tetanus but which secretly induce permanent sterility) and a host of other conditions and diseases. But still the beat goes on: one state after another decides that yet another vaccine must be added to the vaccination schedule. New Jersey, for example, has decided that ineffective, but financially productive, mandatory seasonal flu vaccine, which often contains mercury, but always contains other horrific contaminants and toxic substances, MUST be administered to every child from the age of 6 months to 18 year EVERY YEAR (twice in the first year, by the way). Never mind that in the winter of 2007-8, the CDC announced that this same vaccine was ineffective at least 60% of the time. Never mind the dangers. Just focus on the profits!
And just focus on the social control, as well. It is well known by now that the Patriot Acts, the BIOSHIELD Acts and other US laws make mandatory vaccination a reality once the world “Pandemic” is invoked. And those who resist will, says the law, be interred or quarantined for an indeterminate period.
The propaganda war continues: Those who opt out of this questionable procedure are endangering us all, they say. But is that true? No, not at all.
Vaccination is, in fact, based on 4 major myths or, if you want to be more precise, lies.
Vaccination is based on junk science, and has been since the first “experiments” by that mountebank enshrined by history, Edward Jenner, the founder of virology and vaccination. In 1796, when Jenner transferred “cowpox”, actually syphilis, from the hand of milk maid Sarah Nelmes to 8 year old James Phipps, allegedly protecting James from smallpox. In fact, James and Jenner’s own son died from the repeated immune challenges induced by Jenner’s repeated inoculation.
Within 60 years, it was clear that Jenner’s procedures were neither safe nor effective. Since the British Parliament decided that although Jenner’s now-mandatory vaccination against small pox was causing deadly epidemics of syphilis and leprosy in otherwise healthy babies, it would be embarrassing to admit its error to the British public. Rather than reverse its support of both vaccination and Jenner, it chose to protect its own face at the expense of its citizens’ well-being, therefore laying the groundwork for today’s government position on vaccinations.
Much has been written about the dangers of vaccination and those who are interested in learning what vaccination is really about and how to avoid it for themselves and their children are invited to join the Natural Solutions Foundation vigorous and informative No-Forced-Vaccination Forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/join
The article, “The Syringe of Death” is more timely than ever since BARDA was established last year and the United States Government is determined to add both voluntary and mandatory vaccinations to our lives at ever-accelerating rates, despite common sense and good science.

Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Agency (BARDA), a secretive and
secret agency exempt from public scrutiny, the Freedom of Information Act and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act. BARDA will be the only agency which can declare a
pandemic condition and may do so for any (or no) reason. Operating in secret, BARDA
will be responsible for the advanced research and development of drugs and vaccines (in
partnership with pharmaceutical companies), and, because the contents of those vaccines
will remain shrouded in BARDA darkness, any injuries and deaths caused by drugs and
vaccines which BARDA labels “countermeasures†to any BARDA-declared threat may
never be known.
Even if those contents do become known, S. 1873 cancels any manufacturer liability for
the companies that made the vaccines or drugs. Injured parties will have no legal means
of securing compensation from either the government or the companies themselves.
And BARDA can declare a pandemic (at any time) and require mandatory universal
forced vaccination.
Can we assume that these vaccines will provide us any protection at all? Perhaps, but
it’s not likely. First, clearly understand that under BARDA you may be (legally)
subjected to experimental drugs – drugs which have no track record at all – and, second,
with or without the advent of BARDA, it is now more important than ever that the real
truth about vaccines be widely and quickly disseminated. There are reported to be more
than 200 new vaccines “in the pipelineâ€. If they, along with the ones in use now, are not
safe, we, and our children, are not safe.
All of us have been carefully conditioned to believe that vaccines are safe. But the truth
is ugly and, with BARDA staring us in the face, more than a little frightening. Here are
the cold, hard facts:
Cold, Hard Fact # 1: Vaccines are not safe: vaccines are dangerous. The evidence is
abundant that the tragic cost of loading babies and children up with toxic brews of
mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, injected foreign protein, stealth viruses and, in the
second generation vaccines, the deadly immune enhancer squalene, is unacceptably high.
Lives are ruined and lost in these children when toxins overwhelm their immune systems
and brains and cause tragic, totally preventable suffering and death. Autism (occurring in
4 children per 10,000 when I graduated from medical school in 1970) now afflicts a
minimum of 1 child in 168 in the US. Children have not changed: the poisons we give
them have. Gulf War Syndrome, a pervasive, progressive, deadly auto-immune disease
afflicting over half a million US veterans, appears to be a deadly vaccine reaction to an
experimental vaccine (Anthrax) which the US used on soldiers without their consent in
clear violation of the Helsinki Declaration and the Nuremberg Protocols, international
conventions and agreements which prohibit human experimentation without full
informed consent.
The concept of informed consent, is, of course, is meaningless in the face of compulsory
vaccination with secret ingredients and no manufacturer accountability.
Contaminants make vaccines tremendously dangerous. Swine flu (for a pandemic which
never materialized) was contaminated with polio virus in 1976. Over 45 million
Americans were vaccinated in just 77 days and although there were only 6 cases of Swine
flu in the entire country the vaccine reportedly caused at least 565 cases of polio paralysis
(renamed “Guillain-Barre Syndrome†for the occasion), 60 deaths and other serious
problems, including blindness and impotence. (There is no reason to feel reassured
because this particular disaster occurred in the past: every flu vaccine is capable of
passing along Guillain-Barre (polio) and other unsuspected viral diseases.)
Cold, Hard Fact # 2: Vaccines have not eradicated diseases: vaccines spread diseases.
Attenuated viruses (infective, weakened versions of the dangerous ones) are commonly
used in vaccines so that your body will develop an immune ‘memory’ for that virus. The
next time your immune system meets that specific virus, it rapidly combats it by
producing large numbers of antibodies. This practice and theory derive from the dawn of
vaccination: Edward Jenner’s pioneering use of cowpox pus inoculations to eliminate
smallpox. This innovative and surprising medical treatment is touted as one of the
triumphs of modern medicine. It makes a wonderful story but, in fact, inoculation not
only spread smallpox, it caused well-documented epidemics of syphilis and leprosy in
inoculated people, especially babies (who have immature immune systems). In spite of
the documented associated dangers of leprosy, syphilis, smallpox, death and blindness,
England provided free vaccination in 1840, made it compulsory in 1853, and punished
lack of vaccination with seizure of property and imprisonment in 1857 (which should
sound familiar). It took a British Royal Commission some 41 years more to put a stop to
the deaths and disease that Jenner’s unproven technique caused. Finally, in 1898,
England’s compulsory smallpox vaccination laws were overturned.
In 1854, the first year of British compulsory vaccination, deaths from syphilis in infants
under 1 year increased by 50% and continued to rise steadily after that. In 1802 Jenner
was paid 10,000 pounds by the House of Commons. Shortly afterwards, it became clear
that vaccines did not work. Rather than lose face, the House of Commons granted Jenner
another 20,000 pounds in 1807 and 3,000 pounds a year thereafter.
Jenner knew that milk maids who milked with active pus-filled sores on their hands
transmitted pox to their cows. Local superstition held that the cow’s pus was a
preventive against small pox. Jennings learned from a local farmer, Benjamin Jestey, that
he had inoculated his wife and 3 children with cowpox pus by jabbing them with a
darning needle and they did not contract small pox. Jenner assumed that this meant they
were protected against smallpox. To the modern ear this is absurd. In Jenner’s day,
neither methodology nor the scientific method were part of the culture.
Jenner, a village apothecary who purchased a University of Edinburgh MD for 15
pounds, was a showman who made much of his “discovery†and hastened to induce
Sarah Nelmes, a young milk maid with a fresh lesion on her finger, to allow him to
collect pus from her sore. He inoculated an 8 year old named James Phipps who
developed a fever and a pustule on his skin. Seventeen days later he inoculated the boy
again, this time with small pox. Since the boy did not develop smallpox, Jenner
concluded that “protection was completeâ€.
Jenner hawked his inoculation but people started to complain because they were
developing smallpox (and syphilis) after vaccination with Jenner’s cowpox. Jenner
switched to infected material from horses’ heels instead (“Horse-greaseâ€). John Baker,
the child he inoculated with horse-grease, however, died before he could expose him to
small pox. Undeterred, he inoculated 6 more children with horse-grease and was so
convinced that the results would be positive that he rushed to London to publish them
before there were any results. The [untested] “success†of James Phipps’ inoculation and
his London paper established Jenner’s method and his success. Revolted by the idea of
horse-grease inoculations, people demanded cowpox inoculations again. Jenner
complied.
But just what is cow pox? In tropical countries it is cutaneous smallpox plus leprosy (a
non-lethal disease often present along with leprosy) while in more moderate climates the
milk maids were transferring syphilis to the cattle along with their cutaneous smallpox.
Jenner was making his brew from the cowpox pus and the results were
nothing short of disastrous for untold numbers of people.
Modern small pox vaccines are produced in much the same way: lesions are induced on
the skin of calves and, after they are “sacrificed†[and sold for veal?], the harvested
material from their lesions is cultured in eggs and prepared as vaccines.
However, although immunity fails to develop more than 80% of the time, serious side
effects are distressingly common from the modern small pox vaccines: At least 52 people
out of every million will have life threatening events and 1-2 will die. Permanent damage
to heart, brain, skin and GI effects are also well known side effects. The Center for
Disease Control (CDC) notes that serious side effects and dangers probably occur much
more often since many people can be harmed by live virus vaccines: immune
compromised people (on steroids, with eczema or psoriasis, nursing babies, pregnant
women and their fetuses, people with HIV/AIDs, transplant patients, chemotherapy and
radiation patients, people with auto-immune diseases, young children, asthmatics, etc.)
are at serious risk for contracting the same disease that the inoculation is designed to
prevent or worse.
In the US, the CDC classifies more than 60 million people as immune compromised.
People who are re-inoculated after many years are particularly susceptible to severe and
life threatening reactions. Those who are ill are likely to develop sever effects as well.
In fact, Tommy Thompson, former Health and Human Services boss, said that he would
not take the vaccine although the US is stock piling “a dose of smallpox vaccine with
every American’s name on itâ€. Perhaps the one with his name has been changed so it
reads, “To Whom It May Concernâ€.
S. 1873 and BARDA would, according to its proponents, allow absolutely no exemptions
for medical conditions or personal conviction. None.
Dr. Mike Lane, former director of the CDC’s so-called “smallpox eradication programâ€
in the 1970’s, is a proponent of mass vaccination with no exemptions saying, “Medical
contraindications would not apply… there would be NO exceptions. [In India] I’m sure
that we killed a few people, but we did the best that we could….If the person is exposed
there will be no exemptions, medical or otherwise.â€
When a live virus is used in the vaccine, infective virus is shed for anywhere from 4 to 21
days (or more) and, during that time, inoculated persons can give the disease, or the side
effects of the inoculation, to any vulnerable person they come into contact with.
So, while it may be true that vaccines have spread disease, isn’t it true that vaccines have
eliminated the epidemic diseases of the past? No, actually they have not. Neither
Jenner’s cowpox inoculation nor modern smallpox inoculation did anything to eliminate
smallpox (quite the contrary). The fact is, Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell discovered that
smallpox is transmitted by the flying bedbug, Cimex lectularius, and that eliminating this
parasitic insect from human habitation eliminates smallpox, too. Personal hygiene and
better housekeeping eliminated the deadly scourge. (Dr. Campbell also discovered that
the disfiguring pocks of the disease could be prevented by a diet high in Vitamin C.)
When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the planet “smallpox free†in
1980, they did so administratively, not medically: small pox incidence was reduced, but
not gone, despite nearly universal vaccination. What to do? WHO solved the problem
cleverly: they renamed the disease “cowpox†and “monkey poxâ€. Shazam: a smallpox
free planet, quicker than you can say, “Junk Science!â€
Other epidemic diseases were in sharp decline at the end of the 19th and early 20th
centuries as a direct consequence of improved hygiene and other life-style changes.
Measles, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Polio and Hepatitis B were all in sharp decline
long before vaccines were introduced. The contribution to the decline made by vaccines,
however, was negligible or non-existent. Scarlet Fever, typhoid fever and cholera, for
which inoculation either did not exist or was never wide-spread, declined on the same
sharp curve for the same reasons. So do we need inoculations because of the public
health hazard? Despite the considerable hype, in fact, there is no unbiased evidence
which connects disease prevention with inoculation.
Cold, Hard Fact # 3: Flu vaccines do not protect people from flu-related deaths.
The CDC claims that an astonishing 36,000 people die from flu in an average year. But
according to the former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, 68
people under 65 die from flu each year in the US. The truth is that in 4 years, a total
4,440 people, mostly elderly, died from flu, no where near the CDC’s touted 144,000
deaths. While that figure is great for flu vaccine sales, it derivers not from reality but
from the CDC’s industry-friendly statistical trick of classifying all pneumonia-related
deaths, despite any lack of evidence, as flu deaths. Discussing this nonsense, Lone
Simonsen of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/NIH, writes in The
Archives of Internal Medicine “We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage
after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group. Because fewer than 10% of all
winter deaths were attributable to influenza in any season, we conclude that observational
studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit.”1
Cold, Hard Fact # 4: Potential pandemic viral diseases like the Bird Flu do not have safe
and effective vaccines to prevent them and there are no drugs to treat them effectively.
Despite that fact, on September 15, 2005 the US purchased $100 Million of a French
experimental flu vaccine designed to protect against bird flu. It’s so experimental, in fact,
that although we have purchased megabucks worth of the stuff, the French manufacturer,
Sanofi-Pasteur, is planning to experiment with adjutants (immune response enhancers) to
rev up human response to it. Perhaps the adjuvant is the same one that the Army used in
the deadly Vaccine A against anthrax: squalene. The purchase is real, but there is
currently no such thing as a vaccine for pandemic bird flu.
Unfortunately, even if vaccines did work (they don’t) and were safe (they’re not), a virus
has to actually exist before you can make a vaccine that can control the disease. The
pandemic version of the latest bird flu does not yet exist. Vaccines are very specific: they
train the immune system to make antibodies to a particular protein sequence. Because
those antibodies are highly specific, guessing wrong on which flu strain is coming soon
to a droplet near you has led to an embarrassing history, year after year, of ineffective flu
shots against the wrong strain of virus. People developed side effects, but the shots did
not ward off the flu since the vaccine misfired with regard to the virus it was supposed to
be protecting people against. And, oh by the way, experimental vaccines are not even
alleged to be safe. No one knows what effects they will have. And, under BARDA, no
one (least of all the manufacturer) will need to worry about that.
Allegedly, the bird flu pandemic version has not yet mutated and therefore does not exist
so there is no way whatsoever to make a vaccine against it. Not even the US Government
can make a vaccine against an imaginary virus. But that is just what the government
wants us to believe they can do. Clearly, the French experimental flu vaccine purchase is
a political, not a public health one. IF the bird flu mutates and becomes pandemic, it
would take between 4 and 18 months to gear up to make commercial quantities of the
1
(http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/165/3/265)
vaccine. In the meantime, anyone getting the bird flu and surviving it would have natural
antibodies to the disease. But right now, unless the already-mutated pandemic H5N1
virus is being stock-piled in a laboratory for convenient release at an opportune moment
(which is certainly possible), the virus needed to make a real bird flu vaccine exists only
in fearful imagination. So what would BARDA inoculate you with? Who knows? A
nanochip to track you, perhaps? The technology exists. An experimental drug, maybe?
Something that someone wants to test on huge numbers of people whether they like it or
not? Squalene? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Only BARDA would know. You won’t.
BARDA would be above the law and beyond investigation. Consider: the anthrax vaccine
currently being tested on US 2nd and 3rd graders contains squalene. The experiment is
therefore not about anthrax (the vaccine is only approved for cutaneous anthrax, a non-
life threatening disease highly unlikely to be used, therefore, as a bio-weapon) but rather
about what happens to children given a deadly substance which stimulates their immune
systems to destroy their bodies over time. After World War II, the managers of IG
Farben, the vast German industrial combine, were imprisoned for Crimes Against
Humanity for precisely this kind of activity. Who will be convicted this time? The head
of super-secret BARDA? On what secret evidence? This is what the
government/pharmaceutical cabal is doing now in full view of the public and of
Congress. Can you imagine what would happen if there were no public scrutiny at all
and no legal liability for any ill deeds whatsoever? Only if you can imagine BARDA.
BARDA is a medical Gestapo. It would have the power to initiate a medical marshal law
from which the only escapes would be prison, death, fleeing the country or rebellion.
