BREAKING NEWS: FLU-GATE – In a precedent setting case an Australian family sues Gov’t for $10 million over Flu Vaccine Damage to their child
‘Parents of a baby girl who was a victim of last year’s flu vaccine debacle are suing Australian State Gov’t in a potential $10 million damages claim. Mick & Kirsten Button’s daughter, Saba, suffered global brain injury plus kidney, liver & bone marrow failure after prolonged seizures (Febrile convulsions) following her vaccination shot. She may never walk or talk.’
http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/parents-launch-flu-shot-damages-claim/story-e6frg153-1226032663603
‘Labor’s health spokesman Roger Cook says the family of Saba Button, who suffered serious brain and organ damage from the vaccine, have been treated badly by Premier Colin Barnett’s government.
He said the Government’s disinterest forced the Button family to sue for compensation to provide for the continuing care of their daughter. “This is a tragic set of circumstances and the family should not be left feeling isolated and abandoned,” Mr Cook said.
Following reports of children suffering seizures in April 2010, the vaccine and the actions of WA’s Department of Health have been investigated. “We know the Barnett government accepts their vaccine caused Saba’s heartbreaking condition but they have not even approached the family to offer assistance or compensation.”
Cook has called on Health Minister Kim Hames to sit down immediately with the Button family to discuss a compensation package. “This family, and possibly others, will have costs associated with the ongoing care of their children who in some cases, may be severely affected from the brain injuries incurred. The minister should face up to his responsibilities and moral obligations and assist these families.”

NOTE: The recent trend to bypass Class Action suits against Vaccine Manufacturers & Gov’t Health Dep’ts, via a no-fault insurance system in Vaccine Court (designed to ensure them immunity from prosecution while securing Federally funded Vaccine contracts), is being challenged here. By taking on the Gov’t directly, pressure has been placed squarely on the Judge, in this case, to punish those in power responsible for these crimes, while restoring a modicum of dignity back to this child & family.
THE REAL REASON SO MANY YOUNG CHILDREN ARE BEING ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY AUSTRALIA’S 2010 FLU SHOT COCKTAIL (WHICH NOW INCLUDES THE PANVAX VACCINE)?
CONTENTS: A STAGGERING 50 MICROGRAMS OF MERCURY IN THE SHOT (MOST CURRENT MULTI-DOSE VACCINES AVG 25), H1N1 SUBUNITS (LIVE VIRUS SLIGHTLY MODIFIED WITH DETERGENT), NEOMYCIN (HAZARDOUS TO ALL PREGNANT WOMEN) & POLYMYXIN (2 ANTIBIOTICS ASSOCIATED WITH KIDNEY FAILURE), BETA-PROPLOLACTONE (CARCINOGEN).
PANVAX AKA FLUVAX AKA AFLURIA AKA ENZIRA- IDENTICAL FORMULA, DECEPTIVE MARKETING PLOY
Most multi-dose vaccines currently average 25 micrograms of Thimerosal Mercury. Based on EPA standards this is considered a safe level of exposure for a 2500 pound adult. Australia’s 2010 Flu vaccine Panvax contains 50 micrograms of Thimerosal; technically a safe level of exposure for a 1100 pound adult. Unless you were born a Mack Truck this is tantamount to attempted murder. Time for the Australian community to rise up against this tyranny with a massive Class Action law suit.
‘Included in the ingredients are two antibiotics, Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulphate. Both are noted for serious side effects, predominantly kidney failure. It is warned both these antibiotics not be used by pregnant women. Neomycin is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that it is known to be harmful to an unborn baby. In the “first tier” of candidates to receive this unregistered, unapproved vaccine, pregnant women are on top of the list. Beta-Propiolactone is another listed ingredient. Ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to humans and “reasonably expected to be a human carcinogen” (International Agency for Research on Cancer – IARC, 1999). Βeta-Propiolactone is a disinfectant. Panvax is formulated using chick embryos (Ovalbumin). People who suffer allergy to eggs or anaphylactic reactions may experience problems.’

‘The Australian is reporting that clinical tests were never carried out on this particular vaccine, which was a first-time combination of seasonal flu with Panvax, a vaccine against the H1N1 strain. Australia was the first country to use this type of vaccine, the report said. Panvax was tested on 400 children before its release last year, but the combined shot was not subjected to any clinical trials.’

BREAKING NEWS: Shingles vaccine to be pushed on seniors
‘The FDA has approved the use of Zostavax (manufactured by Merck), a live attenuated virus vaccine, for the prevention of shingles in individuals 50 to 59 years of age. Zostavax is already approved for use in individuals 60 years of age and older.’
http://www.pharmpro.com/news/2011/03/agencies-and-organizations-FDA-Approves-Zostavax-Vaccine/
The Chicken Pox vaccine is the primary cause of shingles surfacing later in life; as the virus becomes embedded in the organs of children upon receiving the shot. The only solution? Ban the shot entirely. Our human body is designed to overcome this condition naturally (as with the majority of diseases, bacterium & viruses it encounters over time throughout the environment); there-upon building up a long-term, post-generational natural resistance.
‘After a child has had varicella (chickenpox), the virus becomes dormant and can reactivate later in adulthood in a closely related disease called shingles–both caused by the same varicella-zoster virus (VZV).’
Chicken pox vaccine associated with shingles epidemic
http://www.cogforlife.org/varivaxshingles.htm
“Some vaccines, including the MMR, smallpox, and chickenpox vaccines, contain live viruses. By giving three and sometimes four live viruses together, the risk of developing a lifetime viral infection (a persistent viral infection) increases tremendously. This is especially so with the MMR vaccine, which contains two live viruses known to suppress the immune system for months.”

BREAKING NEWS: US Govt agency recommending vaccination campaign to combat potentially ‘lethal’ Bird (H5N1)-Swine (H1N1) H2N2 flu hybrid
‘Governments should start vaccinations against a lethal strain of the influenza virus circulating in birds and pigs’ Vaccine Research Centre of the US National Institutes of Health
http://www.nelm.nhs.uk/en/NeLM-Area/News/2011—March/11/NHS-Choices-assessment-of-press-reports-warning-about-future-flu-strains/
‘The researchers draw a number of parallels between the H1N1 and H2N2 viruses. For example, they have both caused pandemics: from 1957 to 1968, an H2N2 strain caused 1–4 million deaths worldwide. Like the 1918 strain, the H2N2 virus has not circulated in humans for several decades but continues to do so among birds and pigs.
To examine people’s levels of immunity to this class of virus, between 2003 and 2007 the researchers tested stored blood samples for antibodies against H2N2 strains in a small cohort of 90 people in the US. The researchers admit that ideally the test needs to be repeated in several thousand individuals, but say their study suggests that people under the age of 50 have little or no immunity to H2N2, and immunity is far stronger in people over 50 (as was also the case for H1N1).
The researchers argue that governments should plan a pre-emptive vaccination programme to prevent the re-emergence of H2N2 in humans, perhaps based on the vaccine against H2N2 licensed for use against the 1957-68 pandemic. They suggest several possible strategies for doing this:
* Manufacture the vaccine licensed in 1957 and immunise enough of the world’s population to provide “herd immunity” to the rest (i.e. vaccinate a large enough proportion of people so that the virus cannot easily spread to non-vaccinated individuals).
* Stockpile the vaccine so supplies are ready in the event of an outbreak (which they point out would be more expensive and less effective than routine vaccination).
* Make “master lots” of H2N2 vaccine and increase production as soon as signs of an outbreak occur (they argue this would be cheaper but less effective than either of the above methods).

Note: The Rockefeller Foundation recently published “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development’; an in depth examination of society under various degrees/types of dictatorial ‘governance’ – the implications that, given a total societal collapse, humans would willingly relinquish their already limited freedoms in exchange for manageable order; a grave reminder of how the so called ‘useless eaters’ or ‘bottom feeders’ are perceived by the elites, as essentially passive & malleable, subject to conditioning on a flowchart. The Rockefeller vision, a dystopic clinical analysis of human behavior in response to a major pandemic leaves little doubt as to the ultimate purpose behind the veil of misguided over-reaching philanthropy.
Excerpt from study: Scenario Narratives: LOCK STEP – A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback:
In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009’s H1N1, this new influenza strain — originating from wild geese — was extremely virulent and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults.
Research on the H1N1 Virus/Bacterium hybrid for bioweaponry purposes traces back to a little known Rockefeller funded project. During 1942 the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, centered in Princeton, New Jersey, undertook a major study titled ‘Synergistic Action Of Hemophilus Influenzae Suis And The Swine influenza Virus On The Chick Embryo’ led by Frederik B. Bang, M.D. through the Department of Animal and Plant Pathology.
The darker implications of their discovery, the harnessing of animal-human live viruses & bacterium for bio-weaponry purposes (H1N1 Swine flu + H1N2 Swine flu + H5N1 Bird flu + H3N2 Human flu + Bacteria = Pandemic) cannot be ignored given the Rockefeller history of involvement in the eugenics movement; suggesting more than just a benign generosity of enlightened philanthropists at work.
“We have found that the combined infection of embryos with swine influenza virus and H. infl~nzae suis produces a highly lethal infection, while neither one alone kills many embryos. Infection with the virus allows the Hemophilus to persist longer than it does in normal embryos.
Finally the combined infection has a selective destructive effect on the embryo lungs.” Frederik B. Bang, M.D/1942
Summary: ‘The synergistic effect of Hemophilus influenzae suis and swine influenza virus in the pig can be reproduced by the inoculation of these agents on the chorioallantoic membrane of 9 to 10 day old chick embryos. Two strains of human influenza virus that were studied failed to substitute for the swine virus in the synergistic reaction. No loss of synergistic effect was noted when the swine influenza virus was put through 11 chick embryo passages. Recently isolated and old stock strains of Hemophilus were equally able to enhance the effect of the virus. Heat-killed cultures of H. influenzae suis can be substituted for the bacterial component of the reaction. Infection of the embryo with swine influenza virus predisposes to infection with H. influenzae suis.
The combination of H. influenzae suis and swine influenza virus causes a selective destruction of the embryo lungs, not produced by the individual components. This pneumonia exhibits the essential features of the natural disease.’

‘The world’s biggest pharmaceutical company hired investigators to unearth evidence of corruption against the Nigerian attorney general in order to persuade him to drop legal action over a controversial drug trial involving children with meningitis, according to a leaked US embassy cable.
Pfizer was sued by the Nigerian state and federal authorities, who claimed that children were harmed by a new antibiotic, Trovan, during the trial, which took place in the middle of a meningitis epidemic of unprecedented scale in Kano in the north of Nigeria in 1996. Last year, the company came to a tentative settlement with the Kano state government which was to cost it $75m. But the cable suggests that the US drug giant did not want to pay out to settle the two cases – one civil and one criminal – brought by the Nigerian federal government.
The cable reports a meeting between Pfizer’s country manager, Enrico Liggeri, and US officials at the Abuja embassy on 9 April 2009. It states: “According to Liggeri, Pfizer had hired investigators to uncover corruption links to federal attorney general Michael Aondoakaa to expose him and put pressure on him to drop the federal cases. He said Pfizer’s investigators were passing this information to local media.”

BREAKING NEWS: UK Vaccine policy now under Vaccine Industry control since ’09
‘UK’s New Labour Government appears to have placed control of UK vaccination programmes from 1 April 2009 in practical effect into the hands of the drug industry and introduced what is potentially a compulsory vaccination law without Parliamentary debate under The Health Protection (Vaccination) Regulations 2009. Giving the JCVI control over vaccination policy appears little different to giving control directly to the drug industry because of a closely similar approach and in some cases interests of one too many JCVI members.

‘Last November, the British gov’t instituted a mass national immunization program designed to vaccinate all children under 18 against meningitis C, a rare but potentially fatal brain disease. A series of government documents obtained by The Observer, a British newspaper, has revealed that more than 16,000 adverse reactions possibly linked to two vaccines have been reported in the past 10 months, including 12 deaths that occurred in people after being vaccinated.’http://www.vaccineinfo.net/immunization/vaccine/meningococcal/under_scrutiny.shtml

Child Welfare had applied for a ruling to have the siblings immunized despite their parents’ decision not to allow the treatment. But Lipton said the four children, ranging in age from one to 12, weren’t at any present risk so no court intervention was warranted. “I find that on the facts of this case the vaccinations proposed by the caseworker don’t fall within the definition of ‘essential’ (in the legislation),” Lipton said. “The children are healthy and none of them are at imminent risk of serious harm.”‘ http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2010/12/03/16411281.htmlBREAKING NEWS: Medical researchers demand Industry halt to Mercury containing vaccines
Dr. Paul G. King, PhD, Science Advisor to CoMeD, cites the urgent need to stop this use of mercury in flu shots: “We have scientific studies clearly demonstrating that mercury causes neurological damage, and we have a cost-effective alternate that has already been used to replace Thimerosal as the preservative in vaccines.”
1. One recent example of these studies was published in Folia Neuropathologica in December 2010. That study’s scientific data led the authors to conclude, “On the whole, the results of this study argue for urgent removal of THIM from all vaccines for children and pregnant women, as well as from other medicinal products and cosmetics.”
2. The second new study, published this year in the journal of Middle East Current Psychiatry, also supports claims that mercury could be the culprit behind autism. Noting that mercury-based compounds are used as preservatives in several vaccines, the investigators stressed, “Mercury poisoning and autism have nearly identical symptoms.”
3. In a third study, published in the Journal of Immunotoxicology in early February 2011, the causal connection between Thimerosal and autism is explained: “Thimerosal has been implicated as a cause of autism. Not only is every major symptom of autism documented in cases of mercury poisoning but biological abnormalities in autism are very similar to side effects of mercury poisoning itself.”
4. The 1999 statement made by the PHS and AAP about the urgency of removing Thimerosal from vaccines is still posted on the website of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) over a decade later. Yet, Thimerosal is now added to most of the flu shots given to pregnant women, children, elderly.

BREAKING NEWS: US Supreme Court ruling formalizes Industry liability protection via “no fault-insurance” sole option in Vaccine Court
Supreme Court ruling on Industry liability re. childhood vaccines: ‘US Federal law bars lawsuits against drug makers over serious side effects from childhood vaccines. Congress set up a special vaccine court to handle such claims as a way to provide compensation to injured children without driving drug manufacturers from the vaccine market, a no-fault system that spares the drug companies the costs of defending against parents’ lawsuits.
Vaccine manufacturers fund from their sales an informal, efficient compensation program for vaccine injuries, In exchange they avoid costly tort litigation, occasional disproportionate jury verdict.’ US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
“No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vac-cine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.” National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act/1986
“The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA or Act) created a no-fault compensation program to stabilize a vaccine market adversely affected by an increase in vaccine-related tort litigation and to facilitate compensation to claimants who found pursuing legitimate vaccine-inflicted injuries too costly and difficult. The Act provides that a party alleging a vaccine-related injury may file a petition for compensation in the Court of Federal Claims, naming the Health and Human Services Secretary as the respondent; that the court must resolve the case by a specified deadline; and that the claimant can then decide whether to accept the court’s judgment or reject it and seek tort relief from the vaccine manufacturer. Awards are paid out of a fund created by an excise tax on each vaccine dose. As a quid pro quo, manufacturers enjoy significant tort-liability protections. Most importantly, the Act eliminates manufacturer liability for a vaccine’s unavoidable, adverse side effects.” US Supreme Court Justice Scalia
RUSSELL BRUESEWITZ, ET AL., PETITIONERS v.WYETH LLC, FKA WYETH, INC., FKA WYETH LABORATORIES, ET AL. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT [February 22, 2011] JUSTICE SCALIA delivered the opinion of the Court.
“The quid pro quo for this, designed to stabilize the vaccine market, was the provision of significant tort-liability protections for vaccine manufacturers. The Act requires claimants to seek relief through the compensation program before filing suit for more than $1,000. Manufacturers are generally immunized from liability for failure to warn if they have complied with all regulatory requirements (including but not limited to warning requirements) and have given the warning either to the claimant or the claimant’s physician. They are immunized from liability for punitive damages absent failure to comply with regulatory requirements, “fraud,” “intentional and wrongful withholding of information,” or other “criminal or illegal activity.” And most relevant to the present case, the Act expressly eliminates liability for a vaccine’s unavoidable, adverse side effects.”
The Supreme Court are saying, in essence, that Vaccine Manufacturers cannot be prosecuted for “product manufacturing flaws” for 2 reasons –
1) Based on Hannah Bruesewitz’s lawsuit in which the parents filed a vaccine-injury petition in the Court of Federal Claims (re. Wyeth DPT shot), a precedent/statute was set where-in you can’t blame the vaccine itself for injury incurred. They used terminology that backfired on them (“unavoidably unsafe products”); muddying the contentious line between “compensation” & “tort” law policy.
“Section 300aa–22(b)(1)’s text suggests that a vaccine’s design is not open to question in a tort action. If a manufacturer could be held liable for failure to use a different design, the “even though” clause would do no work. A vaccine side effect could always have been avoidable by use of a different vaccine not containing the harmful element. The language of the provision thus suggests the design is not subject to question in a tort action. What the statute establishes as a complete defense must be unavoidability (given safe manufacture and warning) with respect to the particular design. This conclusion is supported by the fact that, although products-liability law establishes three grounds for liability—defective manufacture, inadequate directions or warnings, and defective design—the Act mentions only manufacture and warnings. It thus seems that the Act’s failure to mention design-defect liability is “by deliberate choice, not inadvertence.” Barnhart v. Peabody Coal Co., 537 U. S. 149, 168. Pp. 7–8.
2) The FDA deliberately backs away from incriminating the manufacturer. “Design defects do not merit a single mention in National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act or FDA’s regulations. FDA has never even spelled out in regulations the criteria it uses to decide whether a vaccine is safe & effective for its intended use. Vaccine manufacturers fund from their sales an informal, efficient compensation program for vaccine injuries, In exchange they avoid costly tort litigation.” while simultaneously praising universal mass immunization programs. “For the last 66 years, vaccines have been subject to the same federal pre-market approval process as prescription drugs, and compensation for vaccine-related injuries has been left largely to the States. Under that regime, the elimination of communicable diseases through vaccination became “one of the greatest achievements” of public health in the 20th century. They had been so effective in preventing infectious diseases that the public became much less alarmed at the threat of those diseases, and much more concerned with the risk of injury from the vaccines themselves.” US Supreme Court
“The structure of the NCVIA and of vaccine regulation in general reinforces what §300aa–22(b)(1)’s text suggests. Design defects do not merit a single mention in the Act or in Food and Drug Administration regulations that pervasively regulate the drug manufacturing process. This lack of guidance for design defects, combined with the extensive guidance for the two liability grounds specifically mentioned in the Act, strongly suggests that design defects were not mentioned because they are not a basis for liability. The Act’s mandates lead to the same conclusion. It provides for federal agency improvement of vaccine design and for federally prescribed compensation,which are other means for achieving the two beneficial effects of design-defect torts—prompting the development of improved designs, and providing compensation for inflicted injuries. The Act’s structural quid pro quo also leads to the same conclusion. The vaccine manufacturers fund an informal, efficient compensation program for vaccine injuries in exchange for avoiding costly tort litigation and the occasional disproportionate jury verdict. Taxing their product to fund the compensation program, while leaving their liability for design defect virtually unaltered, would hardly coax them back into the market.
Design defects, in contrast, do not merit a single mention in the NCVIA or the FDA’s regulations. Indeed, the FDA has never even spelled out in regulations the criteria it uses to decide whether a vaccine is safe and effective for its intended use. And the decision is surely not an easy one. Drug manufacturers often could trade a little less efficacy for a little more safety, but the safest design is not always the best one. Striking the right balance between safety and efficacy is especially difficult with respect to vaccines, which affect public as well as individual health.Yet the Act, which in every other respect micromanages manufacturers, is silent on how to evaluate competing designs. Are manufacturers liable only for failing to employ an alternative design that the FDA has approved for distribution (an approval it takes years to obtain)? Or does it suffice that a vaccine design has been approved in other countries? Or could there be liability for failure to use a design that exists only in a lab? Neither the Act nor the FDA regulations provide an answer, leaving the uni-verse of alternative designs to be limited only by an expert’s imagination.
Jurors, of course, often decide similar questions with little guidance, and we do not suggest that the absence of guidance alone suggests preemption. But the lack of guidance for design defects combined with the extensive guidance for the two grounds of liability specifically mentioned in the Act strongly suggests that design defects were not mentioned because they are not a basis for liability.
The mandates contained in the Act lead to the same conclusion. Design-defect torts, broadly speaking, have two beneficial effects: (1) prompting the development of improved designs, and (2) providing compensation for inflicted injuries. The NCVIA provides other means for achieving both effects. We have already discussed the Act’s generous compensation scheme. And the Act provides many means of improving vaccine design. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promote “the development of childhood vaccines that result in fewer and less serious adverse reactions.” It establishes a National Vaccine Program, whose Director is “to achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions.” The Program is to set priorities for federal vaccine re-search, and to coordinate federal vaccine safety and efficacy testing. The Act requires vaccine manufacturers and health-care providers to report adverse side effects, and provides for monitoring of vaccine safety through a collaboration with eight managed-care organizations. And of course whenever the FDA concludes that a vaccine is unsafe, it may revoke the license.
These provisions for federal agency improvement of vaccine design, and for federally prescribed compensation, once again suggest that §300aa–22(b)(1)’s silence regarding design-defect liability was not inadvertent. It instead reflects a sensible choice to leave complex epidemiological judgments about vaccine design to the FDA and the National Vaccine Program rather than juries.
And finally, the Act’s structural quid pro quo leads to the same conclusion: The vaccine manufacturers fund from their sales an informal, efficient compensation pro-gram for vaccine injuries; in exchange they avoid costly tort litigation and the occasional disproportionate jury verdict. But design-defect allegations are the most speculative and difficult type of products liability claim to litigate. Taxing vaccine manufacturers’ product to fund the compensation program, while leaving their liability for design defect virtually unaltered, would hardly coax manufacturers back into the market.
The dissent believes the Act’s mandates are irrelevant because they do not spur innovation in precisely the same way as state-law tort systems. That is a novel suggestion. Although we previously have expressed doubt that Congress would quietly preempt product-liability claims without providing a federal substitute, we have never suggested we would be skeptical of preemption unless the congressional substitute operated like the tort system. We decline to adopt that stance today. The dissent’s belief that the FDA and the National Vaccine Program cannot alone spur adequate vaccine innovation is probably questionable, but surely beside the point.” US Supreme Court Justice Scalia
“That Report says that, “if” vaccine-injured persons “cannot demonstrate under applicable law either that a vaccine was improperly prepared or that it was accompanied by improper directions or inadequate warnings [they] should pursue recompense in the BRUESEWITZ v. WYETH LLC BREYER, J., concurring compensation system, not the tort system.” H. R. Rep.No. 99–908, pt. 1, p. 24 (1986) (hereinafter H. R.Rep.).” Supreme Court Justice Brewer

‘The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a federal law bars lawsuits against drug makers over serious side effects from childhood vaccines. By a 6-2 vote Tuesday, the court ruled against the parents of a child who sued the drug maker Wyeth in Pennsylvania state court for the health problems they say their daughter, now 19, suffered from a vaccine she received in infancy.
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the court, said Congress set up a special vaccine court to handle such claims as a way to provide compensation to injured children without driving drug manufacturers from the vaccine market. The idea, he said, was to create a no-fault system that spares the drug companies the costs of defending against parents’ lawsuits. “Vaccine manufacturers fund from their sales an informal, efficient compensation program for vaccine injuries,” Scalia said. “In exchange they avoid costly tort litigation and the occasional disproportionate jury verdict.”
The vaccine court has paid out more than $1.9 billion to more than 2,500 people who claimed a connection between a vaccine and serious health problems.
The drug companies worried that they would face a flood of lawsuits over the side effects of vaccines in the event of an unfavorable Supreme Court decision. They were especially concerned about claims from families of autistic children who say the vaccines, or mercury-based thimerosal that once was used to preserve them, are linked to autism. Numerous studies have addressed vaccines and autism and found no link, including with the preservative.’

BREAKING NEWS: WHO privately admits to danger of using multi-dose vials
‘The safety of vaccine in a multi-dose vial is primarily dependent on: · risk of contamination with a pathogenic organism; and · bacteriostatic or virucidal effect of preservatives in the vial. The risk of contamination is higher in a multi-dose vial than in a single-dose vial because vaccine is repeatedly exposed – every time a dose is withdrawn.
Multi-dose vials from which at least one dose has been removed may be at risk of contamination of the vial septum. These vials should never, therefore, be allowed to be submerged in water (from melted ice for example) and the septum should remain clean and dry. NOTE: Well-sealed icepacks should be used in vaccine carriers and water should not be allowed to accumulate where the vials are stored.’

BREAKING NEWS: Doctors banning unvaccinated children citing “health danger”
‘Some Colorado doctors are refusing to see patients who have not been vaccinated, pointing to recent whooping cough outbreaks in California & a woman with measles reported on flight to Denver. About 5 % of children in Colorado have a documented exemption in order not to be vaccinated. Many parents haven’t given their children vaccinations because of “once-reported link to autism”‘
Jennifer and Ronnie Prine, of Littleton, aren’t vaccinating their 11-year-old daughter because of what they said happened to their son. “He was born perfectly normal, He was about seven months when he got his DPT vaccine,” said Jennifer Prine. “About 14 days after that, he started having seizures. And the regression just continued until he’s where he is now. He’s 20 and at about 6-month level.”
But more and more doctors across the nation won’t see children who haven’t been vaccinated.’

BREAKING NEWS: 72 Indiana children forced out of school for missing vaccinations by way of ‘color of law’ legislation
’72 Indiana children have been banned from attending school, according to State code, for missing “all of their immunization shots”. 31 high schoolers from Harrison and 41 from McCutcheon aren’t allowed to go inside their high schools until they get all of their immunization shots. These students aren’t up to date with their vaccines.
TSC Assistant Superintendent David Notary said it’s state code that after several warnings, students can’t attend school until they are up to date with their immunization shots….we had to enforce the exclusion date today.” Notary
http://www.wlfi.com/dpp/news/local/72-students-are-not-allowed-to-go-into-their-schools
UNITED STATED LAW: Currently, all 50 states have school immunization laws – although there are differences in what may be required in different states. As of May 2004:
1. All 50 states allow vaccination exemptions for medical reasons
2. 48 states allow exemptions for religious reasons (Mississippi and West Virginia are the only states that do not allow exemptions for religious reasons)
3. 21 states allow exemptions for philosophical reasons (Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, California, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington & Wisconsin)
‘All fifty states have legislation mandating specified vaccines for students. Although exemptions vary from state to state, all school immunization laws grant exemptions to children for medical reasons. Almost all states, except Mississippi and West Virginia, grant religious exemptions for people who have religious beliefs against immunizations. Twenty states allow philosophical exemptions for those who object to immunizations because of a personal, moral or other beliefs.’ NCSL
NOTE: Re. Medical exemptions – Make sure your prescribing doctor doesn’t use the word “autism” in the exemption whatsoever, otherwise they deny it. Also the school expects a new letter waver to be submitted yearly regardless of the fact that the doctor doesn’t necessarily put an expiration date on it.

BREAKING NEWS: Universal flu vaccine, touted as ‘holy grail’ for scientists, designed to ‘protect from all viruses’, now in development
‘Researchers at Oxford University have “successfully” tested a universal flu vaccine, an approach that could be used to combat all strains of the flu with a single shot. The team gave the vaccine to 11 healthy volunteers, then infected them with H3N2 influenza A, a flu strain that was identified in Wisconsin in 2005. “We did get an indication that the vaccine was protecting people.”‘
http://theweek.com/article/index/211910/a-flu-vaccine-that-lasts-forever
“The problem with flu is that you’ve got lots of different strains and they keep changing. Occasionally one comes out of wildfowl or pigs and we’re not immune to it. We need new vaccines and we can’t make them fast enough.” Adrian Hill, director of Oxford’s Jenner Institute
“If we were using the same vaccine year in, year out, it would be more like vaccinating against other diseases like tetanus. It would become a routine vaccination that would be manufactured and used all the time at a steady level. We wouldn’t have these sudden demands or shortages – all that would stop.” Dr. Gilbert
During the trial Dr Gilbert vaccinated 11 healthy volunteers and then infected them, along with 11 non-vaccinated volunteers. She monitored the volunteers’ symptoms twice a day, including runny noses, coughs and sore throats, and weighed tissues to calculate how much mucus they produced.
The vaccine “ostensibly” boosts the number of the body’s T-cells, which are important to the body’s immune response, identifying and destroying cells infected by a virus. The results, though only from a very small sample, showed the vaccine worked as planned with the vaccinated volunteers less likely to get flu and also showing a boost in T-cells.

Note: Over 200 influenza viruses are circulating each year. Nature is highly unpredictable; it cannot be isolated in this respect. During the winter months the T Lymphocytes in your lungs (white blood cells vital to natural immunity) are starved of Vitamin D3 (steroid hormone derived from sunlight); thus have difficulty processing Vitamins C & E. A Universal Flu Vaccine, in addition to disengaging the T Lymphocytes in your lungs, will unleash a new cats cradle of mutagenic viruses; which in turn will spawn another wave of counter shots. Excipients such as Thimerosal, toxic detergents & antibiotics, further undermine the body’s ability to fight off infection by neutralizing Thyroid function (a process vital to regulating your overall metabolism – limits over-abundance of free radicals with anti-oxidants).
As a safe alternative to the flu shot, take Liquid Vitamin D3 (5-10,000 IU/per day); in addition to Wild Salmon/Krill Oil (source of Vitamin D3 & Omega 3 fatty acids), organic oranges (or high quality Vitamin C supplement), Kale & Cilantro (chelates heavy metal toxicity – loaded with anti-oxidants), organic Apple Cider Vinegar (one shot semi-daily – helps maintain the proper alkaline over acidic levels in the body) plus a teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate (organic Baking Soda – cancer fighter), taken semi-regularly. This regime should be balanced with a healthy reduction/elimination of the following: gluten, casein, sugars, iodized salts, poly-saturated fats, all genetically modified food/produce/liquids.

New Medical Journal Review: Vaccine Injury is a Documented Cause of Autism
http://www.ageofautism.com/2011/02/new-medical-journal-review-vaccine-injury-is-a-documented-cause-of-autism.html
Join the brigade of parents fed up with Government/Industry lies & deception! Autism Campaigners around the world are planning an Autism Sunday Twitter Storm to mark the international event on Sunday 13th February. People have been asked to tweet and re-tweet on autism, on the serious issues on autism or just simply celebrate the lives of all people with autism across the globe. There are 67 million people with autism.
http://theautismnewswire.com/NewsITems.aspx?newsID=317
“Autism was not a known, described illness until about 1941-3, 8 to 10 years after the introduction of thimerosal and similar organicthiol-mercury compounds in biological mixtures used in medicine and other areas. This argues against autism being a genetic illness. The study of non-vaccinated populations is a very obvious experiment that the CDC and its supporters refuse to consider.” Dr. Boyd Hayley
“Live viruses in vaccines are incorporated into your genetic material & passed on to your children. Many rare forms of cancer are now very common ie Pancreatic cancer.” Dr. Russell Blaylock
“Cancer was practically unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox vaccine began to be introduced. I have had to deal with at least two hundred cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person.” Dr. W.B. Clark of Indiana/1936

BREAKING NEWS: FDA set to ban vitamin C transfusions for cancer patients citing health concerns despite conclusive evidence of its many benefits to overall health
Major peer reviewed Study: ‘In summary, we have demonstrated that chronic treatment with vitamins C and E prevents progression of blood pressure elevation in severely hypertensive rats. These effects are associated with improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation, dec…reased vascular hypertrophy, and increased plasma antioxidant concentration. In addition, we have identified that vitamins C and E modulate activity of NADPH oxidase and superoxide dismutase, which could contribute, at least in part, to decreased vascular O2- and improved antioxidant status. Our data support an important role for oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of hypertension in salt-loaded SHRSP.’
