What experience and history teach is this -- that
people and governments never have learned
anything from history or acted on principles deduced from it.” G.W.F. Hegel

I have been following the evolving “pandemic” of
H1N1 influenza beginning with the original
discovery of the infection in Mexico in March of
this year. In the course of this study I have
tried to utilize as my sources high-quality,
peer-reviewed journals, data from the CDC and accepted textbooks of virology.

As with all such studies one has to integrate and
correlate previous experiences with epidemics and
pandemics. As you will see, a great deal of my
material comes from official sources, such as the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the
National Institutes of Health, the National
Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and
the New England Journal of Medicine. Thus my
distracters cannot claim that I am using material
that is not within the mainstream.

Pregnant Women NOT at Special Risk from Swine Flu

In the beginning, even before it was declared a
level 6 pandemic by the World Health Organization
(WHO), a group of “scientists” were sounding the
alarm that this might indeed be the terrifying,
deadly pandemic they had been expecting for over half a century.

Naturally, the vaccine manufacturers were doing
all they could to fuel this fear and they were
quietly making deals with WHO to be among the
companies selected to manufacture the “pandemic”
vaccine for the world. Being anointed by WHO
would guarantee tens of billions in profits.

As the infection began to spread into the United
States and then the rest of the world, its
peculiar nature became obvious. Those born before
1950 seem to have a high degree of resistance to
the infection and the disease seems slightly more
pathogenic (disease causing) among those aged 25
to 49. Early on the official sources declared
that pregnant women were at a special risk as
compared to the seasonal flu.1 As we shall see later, this was a grand lie.

Initial Studies Show H1N1 NOT Dangerous or Highly Contagious

Once the pandemic had been declared, virologists
tested the potency of this virus using a
conventional method, that is, infecting ferrets
with the virus.2 What they found was that the
H1N1 virus was no more pathogenic than the
ordinary seasonal flu, even though it did
penetrate slightly deeper into the lungs. It in
no way matched the pathogenecity of the 1917-1918
H1N1 virus. It also did not infect other tissues,
and especially important, it did not infect the brain.

Next, they wanted to test the ability of the
virus to spread among the population. The results
of their tests were conflicting, but the best
evidence indicated that the virus did not spread
to others very well. In fact, an unpublished
study by the CDC found that when one member of a
family contracted the H1N1 virus, other members
of the family were infected only 10% of the time
-- a very low communicability.

This was later confirmed in a study of the
experience of New York State, in which only 6.9%
of the population contracted the virus, far below
the 50% predicted by the President’s Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology.3 It is
instructive to note that during the 1917-18 Swine
flu epidemic the world infection rate was only 20%.4

They also predicted that 1.8 million people would
need hospitalization and 300,000 would end up in
the intensive care units (ICU). Further, they
predicted that hospitals would be overwhelmed and
that ICU units would not have enough beds to care
for the sick and dying. Incredibly, they
predicted that 90,000 people would die.

Much Fear Mongering

Not satisfied, they up the ante on fear mongering
by peddling the idea that pregnant women were
especially in danger as were small children. We
were told daily that young, healthy people were
dying, not just those with underlying medical
conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes,
cancer and other immune suppressive diseases. The
Minister of Fear (the CDC) was working overtime
peddling doom and gloom, knowing that frightened
people do not make rational decisions -- nothing sells vaccines like panic.

These same dire predictions were extended to
Australia and New Zealand, which began to show an
increase in their reported cases of H1N1 and
associated hospitalizations as they entered their
fall and winter. Recently, two major articles
were released in the New England Journal of
Medicine, which analyzed the American
hospitalization experience5 and the
Australian/New Zealand ICU experience6. I will
analyze these very interesting studies.

There is a dramatic disconnect between what the
science is discovering about this flu virus and
what is being broadcast over the media outlets.
As you will see, this is a very mild flu virus
infection for 99.9% of the population.

Australian and New Zealand Experience Prove U.S. is Wrong

As I stated, the countries in the southern
hemisphere have already gone through their fall
and winter, that is the seasons of peak flu
infections. Epidemiologists and virologists have
been surprised at how mild this flu pandemic has
been in the Southern Hemisphere, with relatively
few deaths and few hospitalizations in most areas.

The study reported in the New England Journal of
Medicine on October 8, 2009, called the AZIC
study, analyzed all ICU admissions in New Zealand
and Australia, looking at a number of factors.6 Here is what they found.

ICU Hospitalizations

Out of a population of 25 million people, 722
were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
with a confirmed diagnosis of H1N1 influenza.
Overall, 856 people were admitted with a flu
virus, but 11.3% were a type A flu that was not
subtyped and 4.3% were seasonal flu.

They also analyzed the number of people admitted
with viral pneumonia and found the following:

Number of People Admitted to the Hospital each Year with Viral Pneumonia5
57 people in 2005
33 people in 2006
69 people in 2007
69 people in 2008
37 people in 2009 So we see that in 2009 they had
32 fewer people admitted with actual viral
pneumonia. The CDC and other public health agents
of fear like to imply that mass numbers of people
are dying from “flu”, that is, actual influenza
viral pneumonia, when in fact, most are dying
from other complications secondary to underlying
health problems -- either diagnosed or undiagnosed.

They also found that the average person’s risk of
ending up in the ICU was one in 35,714 or about
three thousandths of one percent (0.00285%), an
incredibly low risk. When they looked at actual
admission to the ICU, they found that it was
people aged 25 to 49 who made up the largest
number admitted. Infants from birth to age 1 year
had the higher admission per population, and had a high mortality rate.

Majority of Children Respond POORLY to Flu Vaccine

It is interesting to note that babies this age
respond poorly to either the seasonal flu vaccine
or the H1N1 vaccine. One of the largest studies
ever done, found that children below the age of 2
years received no protection at all from the seasonal flu vaccine.7

The recently completed study on the effectiveness
of the new H1N1 vaccine reported by the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease found
that 75% of small children below age 35 months
received no protection from the H1N1 vaccine and
that 65% of children between the ages of 3 years
and 9 years received no protection from the vaccine.8

Flu Vaccine DOUBLES Risk of Getting H1N1

It is also important to view this in the face of
the new unpublished Canadian study of 12 million
people that found getting the seasonal flu
vaccine, as recommended by the CDC and NIH,
doubles one’s risk of developing the H1N1
infection. It would also make the infection much
more serious. So much for expert advice from the government.

Obese at Six Times Higher Risk from H1N1 Complications

As stated, most authorities agree that the H1N1
variant virus is quite mild as far as flu viruses
go. The vast majority of people (99.99%) are
having very brief and mild illnesses from this virus.

Keep in mind that when I am discussing numbers
and risk, this does not intend to understate the
devastation experienced by the people who are
experiencing serious illness or even death.

Any death is a tragedy.

What we are discussing here is -- is the risk
from this virus significant enough to justify
draconian measures by the government and medical
community? Should we implement mass vaccinations
with a vaccine that is essentially an
experimental vaccine, poorly tested and of questionable benefit?

The study also looked at the health risk of the
people admitted to the ICU, but unfortunately did
not look at the underlying health problems of
those who died. We get a hint, since the American
study did note that it was those over age 65 who
were most likely to die, and that 100% of these
individual had underlying health problems before they were infected.

One of the real surprises from this study, and
the American study, was that one of the more
powerful risk factors for being admitted to the
ICU and of dying was obesity. Obese people are
admitted 6x more often than those of normal
weight. As we shall see, obesity played a
significant role in the risk to children and
pregnant women as well, something that has never
been discussed by the media, the CDC or the public health officials.

This study found that 32.7% of those admitted to
the ICU had asthma or other chronic pulmonary
disease, far higher than the general population.
The Australian and New Zealand study also had a
large number of aboriginal patients and those
from the Torres Strait. It is known that nutrient
deficiencies are common in both populations,
which means an impaired immune system.

Obesity is associated with a high incidence of
insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, both
of which would increase one’s risk of having a
serious infection, even to viruses that are mildly pathogenic. (mild viruses).

H1N1 Vaccine is NOT Made the Same as Regular Flu Vaccine!!

I am really upset at the insistence by the CDC,
medical doctors and the media that all pregnant
women should be vaccinated by this experimental
vaccine. The media repeats the manufacturers’
mantra that this vaccine is produced exactly like
the seasonal flu, when in fact it is not. Yes,
they use chicken eggs, but the rest has been fast
tracked and many shortcuts on safety procedures have been allowed.

There are 250,000 pregnant women in Australia and
New Zealand combined. Only 66 pregnant women were
admitted to the ICU, an incidence of 1 pregnant
woman per 3,800 pregnant women or a risk of
.03%.6 Put another way, a pregnant woman in these
two countries can feel comfortable to know that
there is a 99.97% chance that she will not get
sick enough to end up in the ICU.

Pregnant Women NOT at Increased Risk, Obese Women Are!!

So, why did even 66 pregnant women end up in the
ICU? As we shall see in the American study5, a
significant number of these pregnant women were
either obese or morbidly obese and most had
underlying medical problems. The Australian/New
Zealand study6 found that one of the major risk
factors for pregnant women was indeed being obese
and that obesity was associated with a high risk
of underlying medical disorders.

They also found that death from H1N1 infection
correlated best with increasing age, contrary to
what the media says. They concluded the study with the following statement:
“ The proportion of patients who died in the
hospital in our study is no higher than that
previously reported among patients with seasonal
influenza A who were admitted to the ICU.” 6

In fact, they report that of those infected with
the H1N1 variant virus who were sick enough to be
admitted to the ICU, 84.5 % went home and 14.3%
died and that of those admitted with seasonal flu
72.9% were discharged and 16.2% died. That is,
more died from the seasonal flu.

Recent NEJM Study of the American Experience

In the same Oct, 8th issue of the New England
Journal of Medicine they reported on the American
experience with the H1N1 variant virus.5 The
study looked at data from 24 states with
widespread influenza infection from April through
June 2009. Remember, unlike most flu epidemics in
the United States, this epidemic began early and
by the end of September it was beginning to peak,
with late October being the date it may begin to decline.

The study examined 13,217 cases of infection
involving 1082 people who were hospitalized. Here is what they found:

Underlying Medical Conditions

Of the total hospitalized patients:
60% of children had underlying medical conditions
83% of adults had underlying medical conditions
They also found that 32% of patients had at least
2 medical conditions that would put them at risk.
We are constantly told that it is the young adult
aged 25 to 49 who is at the greatest risk. Note
that 83% of these people had underlying medical
conditions. This means that in truth only 292
“healthy” people out of 1082 in 24 states were
sick enough to enter the hospital -- that is 292
healthy people out of tens of millions of people,
not much of a risk if you do not have an underlying chronic medical problem.

Underlying Medical Conditions Risk Factor for H1N1 Deaths

When they looked at people over age 65 years of
age, that is, the folks who are most likely to
die in the hospital, 100% had underlying medical
conditions -- all of them. So, there was not one
healthy person over age 65 who has died out of 24 states combined.

What about the children, a special target of the
fear mongering media and government agencies?
This study found that 60% had underlying medical
conditions and that 30% were either obese or morbidly obese.

A previous CDC study states that 2/3 of children
who died had neurological disorders or
respiratory diseases such as asthma.3 If we take
the 60% figure, that means out of the 84 children
reported to have died by October 24th, 2009, only
34 children considered healthy in a nation of 301
million people really died, not 84. It is also
instructive to note that according to CDC
figures, the seasonal flu last year killed 116 children.9

Remember, that is, 34 so-called healthy children
out of a nation of 40 million children. In 2003
it was reported by the CDC that 90 children died
from seasonal flu complications. Ironically, as
shown by Neil Z. Miller in his excellent book --
Vaccine Safety Manuel -- once the flu vaccine was
given to small children the death rate from flu
increased 7-fold.10 Not surprising, since the
mercury in the vaccine suppresses immunity.

Pediatric Flu Deaths by Year Made WORSE by Flu Vaccine
1999 -- - 29 deaths
2000 -- - 19 deaths
2001 -- - 13 deaths
2002 -- - 12 deaths
2003 -- - 90 deaths (Year of mass vaccinations of children under age 5 years)
2006 -- 78 deaths
2007 -- - 88 deaths
2008 ­ 116 deaths (40.9% vaccinated at age 6 months to 23 months)11
Parents should also keep in mind that this study,
as well as the Australian/New Zealand Study found
that childhood obesity played a major role in a
child’s risk of being admitted to the ICU or
dying. This is another dramatic demonstration as
to the danger of obesity in children and that all
parents should avoid MSG (all food-based
excitotoxin additives), excess sugar and excess
high glycemic carbohydrates in their children’s
diets. This goes for pregnant moms as well.

Every Parent Needs to Know Other Vaccines INCREASE Risk of H1N1

One major factor being left out of all discussion
of these vaccines, especially those for small
children and babies, is the effect of other
vaccinations on presently circulating viral
infections such as the H1N1 variant virus. It is
known that several of the vaccines are powerfully
immune suppressing. For example, the measles,
mumps and rubella virus are all immune
suppressing, as seen with the MMR vaccine, a live virus vaccine.12, 13

This means that when a child receives the MMR
vaccine, for about two to five weeks afterwards
their immune system is suppressed, making them
highly susceptible to catching viruses and
bacterial infections circulating through the
population. Very few mothers are ever told this,
even though it is well accepted in the medical literature.

In fact, it is known that the Hib vaccine for
haemophilus influenzae is an immune suppressing
vaccine and that vaccinated children are at a
higher risk of developing haemophilus influenzae
meningitis for at least one week after receiving
the vaccine.10,14 These small children receive both of these vaccines.

According to the vaccine schedule recommended by
the CDC and used by most states, a child will
receive their MMR vaccine and Hib vaccine at one
year of age and both are immune suppressing.

At age 2 to 4 months, they will receive a Hib
vaccine. Therefore at age 2 to 4 months, and
again at age one year, they are at an extreme
risk of serious infectious complications caused
by vaccine-induced immune suppression. The New
Zealand/Australian study found that the highest
death in the young was from birth to age 12
months, the very time they were getting these immune-suppressing vaccines.6

The so-called healthy children and babies that
have ended up in the hospital and have died may
in fact be the victims of immune suppression
caused by their routine childhood vaccines. We
may never know because the medical elite will
never record such data or conduct the necessary
studies. Recall also that the seasonal flu
vaccine, which is recommended for all babies 6
months to 35 months, is also immune suppressing
because of the mercury-containing thimerosal in the vaccine.15

If parents allow their children to be vaccinated
according to the CDC recommendations, that is 2
seasonal flu vaccines and 2 swine flu vaccines as
well as a pneumococcal vaccine, that will
increase the number of vaccines a child will have
by age 6 years to 41. This amounts to an enormous
amount of aluminum and mercury as well as intense
brain inflammation triggered by vaccine-induced microglial activation.16

Risk of Serious Illness from the H1N1 Mutant Virus

Their survey of 24 states found that a total of
67 patients out of tens of millions of people
ended up in the ICU. That is, only 6% of the
people admitted to the hospital were so sick as
to need intensive treatments. Of these 67
patients, 19 died (25%) and of these 67% had
obvious underlying long-term medical illnesses.
This means that only 6 patients out of tens of
millions of people in 24 states that were
considered “healthy” before their infection, had
died. Is this justification for a mass vaccination campaign?

Of the 1082 hospitalized patients, 93% were
eventually discharged recovered and only 7% died,
a very low death rate. Their analysis of these
cases concluded that those who died fell in three categories:
They were older patients
Antiviral medications were started 48 hours after the onset of the illness
There was no correlation to having had seasonal vaccines
The last item is especially interesting because
they assume that having had seasonal flu vaccine
would have offered some protection -- it offered none.

What they did find was that none who died had
been given antiviral medications (Tamiflu or
Relenza) within 48 hours of getting sick. Those
given the antiviral medications within the golden
48-hour period rarely died. Relenza is far safer
than Tamiflu. This was the only factor found to
correlate with survival of severely ill ICU patients.

What about the Danger to Pregnant Women? The American Experience

Our media is inundating the public with scare
stories of the danger this virus poses to
pregnant women. Most of us visualize the pregnant
woman as being healthy, young and without
underlying medical diseases. The study is quite
revealing, but omits some very important factors.

We are told that pregnant women are 6x more
likely to end up in the hospital than the general
population. This figure is derived from the fact
that it was estimated that pregnant women had a
7% greater chance of requiring hospital admission
than did the general public at 1% (Even this is a
far higher number than their own studies indicate
-- actually it is a very small fraction of 1%).

Dr. Michael Bronze, a professor of internal
medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health
Sciences Center, writing for emedicine
medscape.com (WebMD), states that the risk of a
pregnant women being hospitalized with the H1N1
infection is 0.32 per 100,000 pregnant women
(which is 1 in 300,000 pregnant women).17 One can
safely say, based on the Australian/New Zealand
experience (at the peak of their flu season) and
the American data somewhere in the middle of
their flu season, that pregnant women have about
a 99.97% chance they will not become so sick as
to require hospital care at any level.

The death rate of pregnant women who were
admitted to the ICU was 7.7%, a fairly low figure
for infectious ICU patients. Remember, most
patients admitted to the hospital are admitted
for hydration and are not that ill in terms of the infection itself.

Smoking and Obesity Increase Risk of H1N!

Now, most of us assume that these pregnant women
are perfectly healthy as mentioned above, but the
data shows something quite different. They found
that greater than 30% of the pregnant women were
either obese or morbidly obese, as did the
Australian/New Zealand study. Of these, 60% had
underlying medical conditions that put them at
greater risk of overwhelming infections -- both viral and bacterial.

It is unfortunate that they did not enter any
information on smoking, either by the mother or
by anyone living in the household. It is known
that smoking greatly increases ones risk of
severe complications from any flu virus.18,19
This is for several reasons. One, smokers eat a
much poorer diet than non-smokers.

Second, smoking destroys the cilia in the
bronchial passageways that are essential for
clearing mucus and debris -- thus increasing the
risk of developing pneumonia.20 Finally, nicotine
is a very powerful immune suppressant.21 The
combined effect of all three is enough to land
anyone in the ICU during even a mild flu season.
Likewise, chronic smokers have low magnesium
levels, which increase their risk of developing
bronchiospasm that is resistant to normal drug treatments.22-24

They also failed to record possible illegal drug
use, how many were living at poverty levels and
how many were on prescription drugs known to
suppress immunity or deplete nutrients essential
for immune function. And, one must keep in mind,
at this age, (age range of 15 to 39 years) many
would have had numerous childhood vaccines and booster vaccines.

This was also not considered for obvious reasons.
So, some critical information we all need to
evaluate this “pandemic” is being excluded or purposely kept from us.

Bacterial Pneumonia and Swine Flu

The American study found that of the people
admitted to the hospital, 40% were found to have
X-ray evidence of pneumonia. Of these, 66% had
pre-existing medical conditions, such as asthma,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
immunosuppression for transplants or cancer or neurologic disorder.

We are not told how many were smokers or lived
with smokers, again, something that puts people
at great risk of having severe reactions to any
infection. Smokers have much higher bacterial
pneumonia rates every year. The CDC estimates
that smokers have a 200% increased risk of flu
virus complications as compared to nonsmokers.

The CDC released in the September 29 issue of the
MMWR an analysis of the lung tissue from 77 fatal
cases of H1N1 infection.25 Of these, 29% had a
secondary bacterial infection -- pneumonia. This
is an important study because the media and the
CDC are telling adults they need to get a
pneumococcal vaccine and that parents need to
have their children vaccinated with the pneumococcal vaccine as well.

This adult study found that only half of the
pneumonias were due to Streptococcus pneumoniae,
the organism used in the vaccine. Half of the
cases were due to other strains of streptococcus,
staphlococcus or H. Influenza. Some 18% of the
people had multiple organism cultured from their lungs.

It is important to note that they found that all
of these autopsied patients had previous, serious
medical problems prior to becoming infected with
H1N1 variant and that not all bacteria were
examined, meaning that even those with Strep
pneumoniae could have had multiple infections,
for which the vaccines would have offered no protection.

Parents should also know that the vast majority
of pneumonias found in these infected children
were not due to Strep pneumoniae, but rather
Staph aureus. Again, the pneumococcal vaccine
would have offered these children no protection.

Pregnant Women Given Vaccine Have Babies with More Health Problems

It has always been a principle of medicine that
one should not vaccinate pregnant women, except
in extreme cases, because the risk to the baby is
too high. Recently, we have seen two examples of
violation of this policy. When the HPV vaccine
Gardasil was first released the CDC and the
manufacturer (Merck Pharmaceutical Company)
recommended that it be given to pregnant women.

Shortly after beginning this dangerous practice
it was ordered halted because a number of women
were losing their babies and babies were being
born with major malformations.26

It is known that stimulating a woman’s immune
system during midterm and later term pregnancy
significantly increases the risk that her baby
will develop autism during childhood and
schizophrenia sometime during the teenage years and afterward.27

Compelling scientific evidence also shows an
increased risk of seizures in the baby and later
as an adult.28 In fact, a number of
neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems can
occur in babies born to women immunologically
stimulated during pregnancy.29-32

It is true that serious flu infections or E. coli
infections during pregnancy are a major risk for
all these complications, but a woman’s risk of
becoming infected, as we have seen, is a very
small fraction of 1 %, yet they are calling for
all pregnant women to be vaccinated with at least
three vaccines, two of which contain mercury.
There is also evidence to show that a large
number of these women will gain no protection from the vaccine.

Dr. Bronze, quoted above, notes that animal
studies have shown that vaccines harm unborn
babies and that no safety studies have been done
in humans. A recent study done by Dr. Laura
Hewitson, a professor of obstetrics at the
University of Pittsburg Medical Center, found
that a single vaccine used in human babies, when
used in newborn monkeys, caused significant
abnormalities in brainstem development.33 This
mass vaccination program for H1N1 variant virus
will be the largest experiment on pregnant women
in history and could end as a monumental disaster.

How Many Cases are Really Swine Flu?

CBS, to their credit, conducted a three-month
long investigation that indicates that we have
all been hoodwinked by the governmental
“protection” agency called euphemistically, the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention.34

What they tried to learn from the CDC was just
what percentage of the “flu cases” were in fact
H1N1. The CDC did all they could to protect this
information and only after filing a Freedom of
Information request and waiting 2 months did they
finally release the data. Now we know why they
wanted it protected and why they stopped testing
for the H1N1 virus in late July.

The data revealed that in fact very few cases
reported as swine flu were in fact H1N1 variant
virus. CBS examined the data in all 50 states.
What they found, for example, was that in Georgia
only 2% of reported cases were H1N1 (97% negative
for H1N1); in Alaska only 1% of reported cases
were H1N1 (93% negative for flu and 5% seasonal
flu) and in California only 2% of reported cases
were H1N1 with 12% being other flu viruses and 86% negative for flu.

A recent release from the CDC found that their
survey reported that of 12,943 specimens tested
from around the country, only 26.3% of cases
tested positive for H1N1 variant virus, but that
99.8% of the specimens tested positive for some
type of other flu virus, most of which were regular seasonal flu.

The CDC has now changed all data reporting on the
flu effects. They did this by stopping viral
typing and subtyping and rolled back all previous
numbers based on prior data. The new system for
collecting data now started on August 30th, 2009.

The only reason I can imagine they did this is
that the prior data was clearly demonstrating
that the H1N1 variant virus was causing a very
mild illness in most people (99.99%) with fewer
hospitalizations, fewer cases of pneumonia and
fewer deaths for all ages and groups than the
prior seasonal flu in past years. This was true
for the United States and the Southern
Hemisphere, which has gone though the worst of its flu season.

Now that they are no longer typing the virus,
they can attribute all cases of pneumonia,
hospitalizations and deaths to H1N1, even though
the majority of cases appear to be from a long
list of other causes. In fact, they can classify
many cases of primary pneumonia as caused by H1N1.

Actually LESS Flu Deaths this Year

One must always keep in mind that the CDC has
told us that 36,000 people die every year from
influenza and influenza-related complications.
Thus far, we have seen (accepting their data)
about 900 deaths and 21,829 cases of pneumonia.

This is far below the 36,000 figure. In fact,
perhaps we should be breathing a sigh of relief
that 35,000 fewer people have died this year from
flu-related disorders. This would go down on
record as the fewest flu-related deaths in recorded history.

In fact, worldwide, according to CDC and WHO
data, far fewer people have died form H1N1 than
any seasonal flu in the past. This graph from the
CDC showing the "Pneumonia and Influenza
Mortality for 122 US Cities" also show that, so
far, this year's flu mortality is far below that of 2008.
In fact, worldwide, according to CDC and WHO
data, far fewer people have died form H1N1 than
any seasonal flu in the past. So, one must ask,
why is the government and their handmaidens, the
media, fueling this panic mentality? Why are we
once again talking about mandatory vaccination
for every man woman and child in the nation?

And I can assure you that soon we will hear an
announcement that the adjuvant MF-59 or ASO3
(squalene) will be needed to save lives.

Now, if the CBS data forced from the files of the
CDC is correct, why are so many people dying from
this flu? The answer is that no greater number
are dying now, for any age group, sex or state of
pregnancy than have died in any previous flu outbreak.

By statistical slight of hand they have created
this pandemic and continue to do so. One cannot
foretell the future, but based on the data now
available from the United States, Canada, Europe
and the Southern hemisphere, there is no
justification for the fear mongering by the media and government agencies.

It is accepted that the cognitive portions of the
human brain work less well under two conditions
-- fear and anger. Those who have survived deadly
situations or who make their living surviving
such situations tell us that controlling our fear
is the most important thing in survival. More
people have died from making poor decisions while
overwhelmed by fear than have died as a result of the situation itself.

I am reminded of the poor elderly person who died
several years back waiting in a very long line
for a flu vaccine in the sweltering heat. It
seems she passed out and struck her head on the hard asphalt.

She was standing in that line for hours because
the CDC announced that that year’s flu was going
to be especially deadly for the elderly and there
was a shortage of vaccine. As it turned out, that
year they picked the wrong virus to make the
vaccine -- so it was not only a dangerous
vaccine, it would have given her no protection.
But then, the vaccine manufactures got their blood money.

What Do They Not Know About This Vaccine?

Insurance companies in Australia would not insure
doctors who gave the vaccine because it was a
fast tracked vaccine and therefore experimental.
They felt that the danger of complications was
far too high to risk insuring the doctors. Unlike
doctors in America, they did not have a special
law that Congress would pass to insulate them
from liability should severe complications arise from the vaccine.

It is also of special interest to note that tens
of millions of babies were vaccinated with the
Hepatitis B vaccine (providing no protection to
the babies) only to learn later that it is linked
to a 310% increased risk of developing multiple
sclerosis.36 One has to ask -- What else do they not know about this vaccine?

Well, it turns out a lot.

Years after it was added to the recommended
vaccine schedule, it was linked to a terrifying
disorder called macrophagic myofascitis, which in
children is associated with a severe dementia-like illness.

Then we have the case of the Gardasil vaccine.
Millions of young girls were vaccinated and
within several months pregnant women were losing
their babies, babies were being born deformed,
several of these very young girls died and a
growing number have had serious reactions to the
vaccine. Once again we have to ask -- What else
do they not know about this vaccine?

Vaccine Safety Testing Only Done for ONE Week

Now we are being told that this new fast tracked,
poorly tested vaccine is very safe and effective.
The results of the testing on this vaccine were
reported in the New England Journal of
Medicine.39 It is instructive to learn that the
tests for safety and to assess complications
lasted only 7 days after the vaccine, an
incredibly short period of follow-up. Gullian
Barre paralysis can occur even months after a
vaccine as can seizures, behavioral problems and
neurodevelopmental disorders in children.

It is interesting to note that the authors of the
safety study for our swine flu vaccine were all
employees of the maker of the vaccine CSL
Biotherapeutics and eight held equity interest in
the company.39 This admission is part of the
disclosure policy of the New England Journal of Medicine.

It is always important to keep in mind when you
hear about this vaccine being safe and produced
just like the seasonal flu vaccine -- What else
do they not know about this vaccine that they
will discover months, years or even decades
later. Once injected with the vaccine and you
develop a complication there will be little that
can be done to treat the life-long degenerative
disorder it produces. You will just be a sad story on 60 minutes.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

First, I want to thank Dr. Blaylock for his
excellent review of the swine flu
“pandemic.” But I also want to extend my thanks
to all the doctors and health care professionals
out there who in increasing numbers are beginning
to challenge the assumptions of our current
vaccine programs, and question the sanity and
safety of rushing to mass-vaccinate against such
a mild virus as H1N1 with untested and unproven vaccines.

It takes courage to voice these concerns, and I
applaud those in the health field who are
courageous enough to do so in order to protect the health of their patients.
An article published in Medscape on October 28,
2009, illustrates the opposing viewpoints that
clearly exist within the medical community. The
vaccine issue is not as clear-cut as many would
like you to believe, and those who question the
safety of what’s being done are not fringe
lunatics, quacks, or fanatics of some sort.

Many are well-educated health professionals,
willing to think for themselves and investigate
beyond the dogma taught in medical school and
what they’re told by pharmaceutical reps.

In her article, Physicians are Talking About: Is
It Worth Getting the H1N1 Vaccine?, Nancy Terry writes:
“… However, other physicians are equally adamant
about not getting the H1N1 vaccine.

"I don't want to be a lab rat," says an
internist. "No way I or my family will receive
the vaccine. Not a chance!" comments another internist.

"Emphatically no to both vaccines," says a family
medicine physician. "I agree with Dr. Joseph
Mercola's take on the swine flu and this and the
prior round of vaccinations for it. I believe,
based on all I've read to date, that vaccinations
cause a body more harm than good."

"I remember the last vaccine rushed to
production. People died and some developed
paralysis," says another family medicine
physician. "I prefer to take my chances."

Several physicians wonder about the advisability
of vaccinating segments of the population already exposed to influenza.

An emergency medicine physician, who saw H1N1
cases throughout September, comments, "If the
epidemiology here mirrors the Southern Hemisphere
flu season, by the time H1N1 vaccine is available
the virus probably will be done circulating through my community."…

… "This ain't your grandma's seasonal flu virus,"
says a pediatrician. "It's a
quadruple-reassortant swine/avian hybrid that's
never been seen before, significantly different
from its predecessors, even if relatively wimpy."
For this reason, he suggests that caution is
warranted with regard to the infection and the
vaccine. He adds, "It's not inconceivable that
this vaccine could cause side effects not seen
with seasonal vaccine, although it seems safe in trials, so far."

A family medicine physician agrees: "Any vaccine
made at the last minute and made only by a few
manufacturers with huge government contracts at
stake cannot help but be higher risk for untoward side effects."
… A family medicine physician comments, "I'm not
sure I can justify recommending this vaccine to
all children until safety is better ascertained
when, so far, cases on the whole seem to be mild."

As you can see, I’m not the only doctor on the
block who has serious reservations. Hopefully,
together we will be able to make a difference and
save countless people from unnecessary harm.

You Can Make a Difference
Most polls show that we ARE making a difference
because more people are becoming educated about
influenza and flu vaccines, especially H1N1 swine
flu. Recent national polls have revealed that 30
to 50% in many communities are not planning to
get a swine flu shot. Those who haven't made up
their minds yet have lots of questions. So we
have created some posters that you can print and
post ALL over your community, your local stores, office and schools.
