The person who is leading this investigation in Europe is Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a German-born physician and chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Health Committee.  Specifically, he is holding a hearing this week to ascertain if Big Pharma used its considerable global influence to convince the W.H.O. to lower the alarm threshold and essentially scare countries into buying absurd amounts of the vaccine (incidentally, these same countries are trying to sell of the surplus).  Apparently, this hearing is going to be held in secret for obvious reasons.  With billions of dollars in profits at stake and medical ethics in short supply for the five manufacturers (GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis and CSL Ltd.) of the poison vaccine, it’s easy to see how and why this could happen.  It’s a classic case of “problem, reaction, solution”.

Proving that the Big Drug Cartel and the W.H.O. colluded to propogate fear for vaccines will be a daunting task, to say the least.  Drug companies’ reach is far and wide, but their close ties with large media conglomorates is one of their most insidious connections.  According to a very in-depth article on Infowars (Sherry Kane), “PharmaMedia” will not let this investigation see the light of day.  James Murdoch (son of Rupert - CEO, News Corp.) is the chief executive of News Corp in Europe and Asia, and was appointed non-executive director at GlaxoSmithKline.  Thomas Glocer (CEO, Reuters) has been elected to Merck & Co.’s board of directors.  Admittedly, these loose associations are circumstantial, so the burden of proof falls on Dr. Wodarg.  However, I always say ‘follow the money trail.’  I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys made a significant amount of coin as the stocks of drug companies shot up.

Additionally, one need to look no further than local and national media coverage on this story.  Because of the hype surrounding swine flu, it’s only natural to think that similar attention would be given to allegations of this magnitude.  Real coverage has been relegated to Youtube and online radio.  Perhaps this story isn’t as important as following the “Jersey Shore” cast or Simon Cowell moving on to greener pastures.  In a fair world, everyone who was saturated with propaganda about the swine flu would be aware of the charges.  These days, it seems that whoever writes the check gets to decide what fair is.

1. Swine Flu Vaccine: Avoid It Like The Flu

(Graphic: CBS News)

Due to a purported “rapid increase in illness”, President Obama has declared a national emergency which grants HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius  the authority to tweak certain policies in an effort to help health care facilities handle any increase in case counts.  It must be noted that unnamed officials said that this declaration is not tied to current increase in case loads or any new developments.  According to the CDC, H1N1 has spread to 48 states and the case count is apparently rapidly rising.  Interestingly, this contradicts a recent three-month long study conducted by CBS that concluded that current swine flu cases have been grossly misdiagnosed.  Part of this probably stems from a CDC advisory issued at the end of July that suggested states stop testing for swine flu and forgo reporting cases.  The reasoning is that providers should not waste valuable resources since a pandemic has already been confirmed.  Well, I agree with not wanting to squander resources, especially with the preposterous prodigality in our current health care system.  Doctors are now asking questions and assessing risk factors in lieu of actual tests – basically “eyeballing” it.  Patients can now get seen by a physician and get diagnosed within five minutes, so they can rush to the pharmacy to get their drugs (obviously an exaggeration, but you get the point).  This is undoubtedly a boon for the multinational Pharma pushers.

As I wrote in a previous post and health experts continue to proclaim, if you have a healthy immune system, chances are you don’t have anything to worry about.  Tragically, the overwhelming majority of people who die from the flu have a depressed immune system already, and the virus takes advantage of this.  Secondary infections like pneumonia claim the most lives.  Here’s how to naturally boost your immune system so you can skip the unproven and potentially toxic H1N1 vaccines.

1. Swine Flu Vaccine: Avoid It Like The Flu

• It does not offer effective viral protection- Numerous studies (independent of pharmaceutical cartel influence) have been conducted regarding the efficacy of flu vaccines and the consensus is that they are largely ineffective in children, adults and the elderly.  There are two types of flu vaccines: trivalent inactivated (injectable, needle) and live attenuated (intranasal, FluMist).  The shot is “inactivated” because it does not contain the live virus.  An attenuated nosespray essentially contains a very weak flu antigen.  Both versions basically fool the body into thinking that the actual virus is present.  In response to this, your body produces antibodies for future protection.  According to the CDC, the seasonal flu shot is effective “in about 70%-90% of healthy persons younger than 65 years.”  This is somewhat misleading.  I’ll address exactly what “healthy” means in a minute, but if you parse this data, one can clearly see that the vaccine is effective in people who most likely have a very strong immune system already and would probably be  better off without it.  Folks with compromised (sickly, elderly) or undeveloped (infants, children)  immune systems have the highest risk of succumbing to the secondary complications of the flu, but this demographic is curiously not cited in the CDC statistics.

• The vaccine is not as safe as officials claim - Earlier this year, the W.H.O. declared a worldwide H1N1 pandemic.  Fears about a more severe outbreak prompted drug manufacturers to rush production of a new vaccine (operative word – rush) in anticipation of the fall and winter seasons.  Not only were the untested vaccines pushed through to the marketplace, but the dangerous preservative thimerosal has been included in most versions of the vaccine (read more about the dangers of thimerosal).  Other jeopardous components include squalene and aluminum.  Even the well tested and supposedly safe seasonal flu vaccine can lead to serious health problems: click here and here.  Knowing that the H1N1 vaccine hasn’t been as rigorously tested, are you willing to take the risk?

• H1N1 is not more deadly than seasonal flu- On average, the seasonal flu kills approximately 36,000 people nationwide each year.  This is obviously a lot of deaths that largely go unreported or buried under “Balloon Boy” and “Jon and Kate” headlines.  H1N1 isn’t more deadly per se, but since the last outbreak occurred in 1976, most young people have not been exposed, and subsequently don’t have the antibodies in their immune system to mount a defense.  The next logical question is – why are these deaths even happening?  A largely unknown (and unnecessary) fact about influenza is that the vast majority of deaths are not from the actual virus, but from secondary complications (eg – pneumonia).  So, a person with a fully functioning immune system should be able to fight the flu without a vaccine.  And don’t be fooled by medical personnel saying that “healthy” people are now dying from H1N1.  I’ve discovered that the status “healthy” is used very loosely, and often times,  it does not necessarily equal a heathy immune system.  In general terms, ”healthy” is used by medical professionals to describe someone who has basic health indicators in a normal range (blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc.), so take it with a grain of salt when you hear it.

• Vaccination is not your only option- If you’ve read some of my other articles, you know my approach to wellness and prevention is to let food be your medicine, exercising, reducing your toxic load (drugs, chemicals, etc.) and avoiding unnecessarily invasive medical procedures.  Our bodies, down to the cellular level, have a symbiotic relationship with the environment around us.  Consequently, if you feed those cells the right nutrients, you will thrive on many different levels.  Your immune system stands to gain the most from this mindset.  When you provide your immune system with proper nutrients, it will thrive.  To this end, the first thing you must do is drastically reduce or eliminate junk food from your diet.  Organic vegetables (and to a lesser extent some fruits), spices (garlic, oregano), clean water, lean meats (wild, free-range, hormone-free) are good starter options.  Supplements like Vitamin C and D3 (avoid synthetic D2), herbs like astragalus, echinacea, oregano oil, and especially black elderberry all have a tremendous effect on your immune system, when used in conjunction with a whole-food based diet.  Online scams abound these days with dubious cures, inferior supplements and dangerous herbs.  So, do your research and make sure to buy from a reputable manufacturer.  Read more about boosting your immune system here.

Don’t be fooled by the rampant fear-mongering perpetuated by the profit-drive pharmaceutical industry.  The media get their information from doctors and health officials who inevitably get their information from the drug companies (or biased studies funded by them).  There’s a lot of money at stake, so there’s a vested interest in keeping the public in the dark about natural ways to fight illness.  Do yourself and your family a favor, and educate yourself about all the options available before you blindly subject yourself to the vaccine (or any, for that matter).  If, after all your due diligence, you still decide to go with the vaccine, at the very least you made an informed decision.
