The Canadian press recently broke the story that new research
confirms initial findings that the flu vaccine appeared to actually increase people's risk of getting sick with H1N1, and cause more serious bouts of illness to boot.
According to the Vancouver Sun:1
"Researchers, led by Vancouver's Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an
influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the
early weeks of the [2009 H1N1] pandemic that people who got a flu shot
for the 2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the
pandemic virus than people who hadn't received a flu shot. Five studies
done in several provinces showed the same unsettling results."
New Study Confirms: Flu Vaccine Really Does Increase Your Risk of Serious Pandemic Flu Illness
In March last year, ABC News reported:2
"There is renewed controversy surrounding influenza vaccines,
with some studies showing people immunised against the seasonal flu
might have been at greater risk during the swine flu outbreak...
'What was a bit surprising when we looked at some of the data from Canada and Hong Kong in the last year is that people
who have been vaccinated in 2008 with the seasonal or ordinary vaccine
seemed to have twice the risk of getting swine flu compared to the
people who hadn't received that vaccine,' [Professor Collignon from the Australian National University] said.
ANU microbiologists say it is the opposite of what vaccines should do.
Professor Collignon says the findings of the study also highlight
the benefits for healthy people who are exposed to some illnesses. 'Some
interesting data has become available which suggests that if you get
immunised with the seasonal vaccine, you get less broad protection than
if you get a natural infection,' he said.
'It is particularly relevant for children because it is a condition they call original antigenic sin, which basically means if
you get infected with a natural virus, that gives you not only
protection against that virus but similar viruses or even in fact quite
different flu viruses in the next year.'
'We may be perversely setting ourselves up that if
something really new and nasty comes along, that people who have been
vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible compared to getting this
natural infection.'" [Emphasis mine]
Truer words are hard to find in mainstream media. This is, after all,
the fundamental basics of immunity against disease. Vaccine-induced
immunity to disease is trying to mimic this natural mechanism, but
failing miserably in doing so...
Case in point: research published in the Journal of Virology3 in November of last year also confirmed that the seasonal flu vaccine may actually weaken children's immune systems and increase
their chances of getting sick from influenza viruses not included in
the vaccine. Further, when blood samples from 27 healthy, unvaccinated
children and 14 children who had received an annual flu shot were
compared, the former unvaccinated group naturally built up more antibodies across a wider variety of influenza strains compared to the latter vaccinated group – which is exactly what Professor Collignon referred to in the quote above.
While the initial reports of increased pandemic disease risk
associated with flu vaccination were downplayed and widely dismissed as
some odd Canadian phenomenon, a new study suggests this was no fluke.
According to the featured article:4
"Skowronski and a group of researchers have recreated the event
in ferrets. Their findings were presented... at the Interscience
Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a major
international infectious diseases conference taking place in San
Francisco. Skowronski... worked with 32 ferrets, giving half the 2008
seasonal flu shot and the rest a placebo injection. The work was
blinded, meaning the researchers didn't know which ferrets received
which shot. Later, all the ferrets were infected with the pandemic H1N1
virus.
The ferrets in the vaccine group became significantly sicker than the other animals, though all recovered. 'The findings are consistent with the increased risk that we saw in the human studies,' Skowronski said." [Emphasis mine]
Proof Positive – Vaccine Industry Really Does Not Know What it's Doing...
According to the Canadian MetroNews5,
researchers in other countries have also reported similar interactions
between the 2008-09 flu vaccine and increased risk for more serious H1N1
illness. Remarkably, even though no one understands the reasons for
this paradoxical effect, Dr. Skowronski "insisted the findings should
not deter people from getting seasonal flu shots."6
"Two theories exist about what might have been behind the effect,
said Skowronski, who favors the first. That theory relates to the fact
that the 2008 vaccine protected against an H1N1 virus that was related
to – but not similar enough to – the pandemic virus to generate
antibodies that would neutralize it. The thinking is that might actually
have facilitated infection with the pandemic virus," MetroNews reports.7
"Skowronski likened the mechanism to what happens with dengue
viruses. People who have been infected with one subtype of dengue don't
develop immunity to the other three. In fact, they are more at risk of
developing a life-threatening form of dengue if they are infected with
one of the other strains.
Skowronski called the second theory the infection block
hypothesis. Having a bout of the flu gives the infected person
antibodies that may be able, for a time, to fend off other strains; flu
shots only protect against the strains they contain. So under this
theory, people who didn't have flu in 2008 because they got a flu shot
may have been less well armed against the pandemic virus."
It's important to realize that these are only theories, and
researchers still don't know if either of them is correct. However, IF
the first theory is correct, then this troubling effect is believed to
be limited to pandemics in which the pandemic virus is related to a
human flu virus in circulation. According to this theory, a virus with a
hemagglutinin protein that humans haven't been previously exposed to would probably not trigger increased infection risk. However, as stated by Dr. Skowronski:8
"My own opinion, my own feeling would be that if you have a
completely different hemagglutinin like H5 or H7... you may not see
that... But who knows, frankly? The wise man knows he knows
nothing when it comes to influenza, so you always have to be cautious in
speculating."
That statement about sums up what the CDC and vaccine industry really
know about what they are doing! Yet you're expected to just take their
word, again and again, that vaccines are safe and the most effective
form of disease prevention...
Flu Shots for All (Science Optional)
For the past several years, physicians in America have been insisting
that every child age 6 months to 18 years must get an annual flu shot.
Making matters worse, health officials have now ramped up those
recommendations, telling EVERY person over the age of 6 months get a flu
shot, healthy or not, low risk or high.
With all of those vaccinations, will you become more susceptible to influenza-related complications and death?
We really don't know, but if the interaction between the 2008-09 flu
vaccine and H1N1 is any indication, the answer is likely to be yes. Health officials have leapt ahead with recommendations of "flu shots for all" without safety studies
– so by getting a flu vaccine, you are effectively offering yourself up
as a laboratory rat. In other words, YOU are the safety study!
To get a preview of the potential risks you take every time you
accept a seasonal flu vaccine, listen to the following interview with a
Connecticut artist and her mother, a former professor of nursing, who
developed Guillaine-Barre syndrome after getting a seasonal flu shot in
2008 and today is permanently disabled with total body paralysis. This
family has chosen to share their heartbreaking story to help those who
have had the same experience feel less alone, and to educate others
about what it means to be vaccine injured. What happened to this family
is a tragic reminder of just how important it is to make well-informed
decisions about vaccinations.
All Vaccines Compromise Natural Immunity
The more vaccines are studied, the more apparent it becomes that
safety studies are sorely lacking, as vaccine expert and pediatrician
Larry Palevsky explains. For example, those that have been done compare
vaccinated populations only to other vaccinated populations, and only
follow vaccinated kids for 4-6 weeks.
