The New Epidemics 7
Swine Flu
“Rigorous study and real-world evidence from hundreds of millions of administered shots prove that Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective,” Ali Swenson and Angelo Fichera claimed (without citing any evidence) in February 2023. “Deaths caused by vaccination are extremely rare and the risks associated with not getting vaccinated are far higher than the risks of vaccination. But that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists from lobbing a variety of untrue accusations at the vaccines.”[1]
The problem is that “the greatest travesty and injustice in public health is the fact that current vaccination policies violate the fundamental premise upon which the profession of public health is supposed to be practiced. That is, health policies are to ‘above all, do no harm,’ or at minimum, if some harm is to be done, that sound scientific studies prove less harm than benefit is being accomplished. These studies are called ‘cost-benefit,’ and ‘risk-benefit’ analyses. The trouble is, to date, no definitive ‘cost-benefit’ study has ever been conducted on any of the vaccines. Such studies have been published, but critical reviews revealed they never included all the costs, such as the costs to society for vaccine injuries and deaths admittedly underreported. Even worse, no risk-benefit study whatsoever has ever been conducted to show that vaccines are not killing and maiming more people than they are helping or saving…”[2]
One of the best documented cases of vaccinations doing more harm than good was the “swine flu” vaccination of 1976.
“If anyone is so backward and uninformed as to want a shot,” Eleanor McBean and Ida Honorof, tell[3] us “he should certainly have the right to go to a doctor and personally pay for it. But, no more public funds, and no more high-pressure advertising of vaccination should be tolerated, knowing that shots are damaging in 100 percent of the cases.”
“So far, it has been so easy for the vaccine promoters to get vast sums of money for their vaccine sprees. They needed but to ask, and millions were handed to them by our medically-dominated government officials, and no guarantees were ever asked or given, that the vaccines be safe and effective. A typical example of this reckless waste of public money, is that $I35,000,000 which Pres. Ford handed over to the swine flu vaccine promoters, for which they killed and paralyzed thousands of people, and ‘billed’ us for the $1,300,000,000 (billion) damage suits to pay for them.”
“There was never a single case of the bogus swine flu anywhere—the disease itself being the figment of someone’s imagination. Other illnesses were proclaimed as swine flu, and deaths were even attributed to it. The medicine men conned other super-ignorant public officials into supporting the hoax, including the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, members of Congress and President Gerald Ford. The news media fell into line as usual. But this time there were a few, very few, skeptics and outspoken people who knew the true nature of such hoaxes, myself included. Fortunately, there was no mass illness of any kind in 1976 except among those who received a swine flu vaccination; otherwise, had there been a preponderance of flu-like illnesses, the hoax may have succeeded. Unfortunately for the victims, but fortunately for the millions of people who refused the vaccine, there were many deaths and cases of paralysis resulting from the vaccine (not from swine flu), and the pressures from lawsuits, mainly mine and the author’s, and publicity concerning the fate of the victims forced the termination of the mass vaccination plan before a truly massive disaster occurred.”
Thankfully for Big Pharma but unfortunately for the average citizen many have forgotten what happened in 1976. Thus, in February 2018 Shaun Lintern reported[4]: “Dozens of NHS workers are fighting for compensation after developing narcolepsy from a swine flu vaccine that was rushed into service without the usual testing when the disease spread across the globe in 2009. They say it has destroyed their careers and their health.”
“When nurse Meleney Gallagher was told to line up with her colleagues on the renal ward at Sunderland Royal Hospital, for her swine flu vaccination, she had no idea the injection she was about to have had not gone through the usual testing process.”
“…From the moment the needle broke Gallagher’s skin, her life would never be the same.”
“‘I remember vividly we were all lined up in the corridor and we were told we had to have it. It wasn’t a choice,’ she claimed. ‘I was pressured into it. We were given no information.’
The date was 23 November 2009 and Gallagher was one of thousands of NHS staff vaccinated with Pandemrix, a vaccine made by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).”
“Eight years later, her career in the NHS is a memory and she’s living with incurable, debilitating narcolepsy and suffers from cataplexy, a sudden, uncontrollable loss of muscle tone that can cause her to collapse without warning. Because of her condition, she can no longer work or drive.”
“People with narcolepsy experience chronic fatigue and difficulty sleeping at night. They can have night terrors, hallucinations, and a range of mental health problems.”
“Gallagher is not alone. More than a dozen frontline NHS staff are among around 1,000 adults and children across Europe who are believed to have developed narcolepsy after being given Pandemrix…”
“Gallagher and four other NHS professionals – two nurses, a community midwife, and a junior doctor – have told how they felt pressured into receiving the vaccine, were given misleading information, and ultimately lost their careers.”
“They are all suing GlaxoSmithKline seeking compensation for what they believe was a faulty drug that has left them with lifelong consequences and means they will require medication and support for the rest of their lives.”
Thankfully for Big Pharma but unfortunately for the average citizen many have forgotten what happened in 2009.
