Flu Vax Facts for Fluarix

1. Flu vaccines are typically made with 25 micrograms of thimerosal. 49% of thimerosal is mercury. The version you are getting today may have 5 micrograms or less. Since mercury is used in the manufacturing process there will always be a trace. There can be no safe amount of mercury injected.

2. The CDC says on its website that mercury is a neurotoxin and to avoid eating fish because it may contain mercury. They state as an example a person weighing 110 lbs should have no more than 5 micrograms of mercury. This shot may contain 25 micrograms. You need to weigh at least 550 lbs for this vaccine to be safe. When pressed for clarification, the CDC said and I quote “you could die from the flu”. Do you see the risk/benefit here? Better to be brain damaged then get the flu?

3. This vaccine contains formaldehyde. There is no safe amount that can be injected into people unless they are being embalmed.

4. This vaccine has Guillain-Barré as a possible side effect. A temporary, Multiple Sclerosis like illness. Also reported are breathing problems, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heartbeat, or dizziness.

5. This vaccine is not 100% effective. From the package insert of the vaccine; “The effectiveness in preventing influenza illness often ranges from 30%–40%.”

6. The cities picked for this year’s vaccine strains are Wellington, New Caledonia and Shanghia. The virus is harvested from the mucus of sick people in these cities to create the vaccine 10 months in advance.

7. From the package insert: “Influenza virus is remarkably capricious in that significant antigenic changes may occur from time to time. It is known definitely that Influenza Virus Vaccine, as now constituted, is not effective against all possible strains of influenza virus. Protection is limited to those strains of virus from which the vaccine is prepared or against closely related strains.” This involves a lot of guesswork since the vaccine is made almost a year in advance.

8. The package inserts published by the flu vaccine manufacturers state that "Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this vaccine and it is also not known whether influenza virus vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.”

9. From the package insert: “Administering vaccine before October should generally be avoided in facilities such as nursing homes, because antibody levels can begin to decline within a few months after vaccination.” If this vaccine worked, this would not happen.

10. Neurological disorders temporally associated with influenza vaccination such as encephalopathy, (brain swelling) optic neuritis/neuropathy (Inflammation of the Optic Nerve) partial facial paralysis, and brachial plexus neuropathy (decreased movement or sensation in the arm and shoulder) have been reported.

11. This vaccine is made in chicken eggs. Vaccine manufacturers have been asked by the FDA to screen for diseases like avian leukosis (bird leukemia). The new yellow fever vaccine is made in chicken eggs and has a label reflecting its “avian leukosis free” status. No one is sure if this virus is the same virus that causes human leukemia. Do you want to take that chance? What other viruses might be hiding in this vaccine?

12. Half of our flu shot doses last year had to be discarded for contamination. Can you be sure this vaccine is bacteria free? The idea is to avoid virus. Not have it injected in. Did you know no one is sure how the immune system really works?

Autistic children are merely the canaries in the coal mine. As the amount of mercury used in childhood vaccines has increased over recent decades one can see a concurrent increase in asthma and other immune disorders, as well as other forms of neurological disorders and learning disabilities such as attention deficit disorder.

The defense bill which became law in Dec. 05 (H.R. 2863) contains language which would, in the event of a declared emergency, indemnify vaccine makers from lawsuits, essentially making them unaccountable for any damage their products might cause. In light of this, you may want to know the following about the safety of vaccines that have been administered in the last decades:

Myth: Thimerosal, a mercury preservative and potent neurotoxin used in vaccines, is added in trace amounts. Fact: Thimerosal is added at a concentration of 1:10000. This is equivalent to a concentration of 100,000 parts per billion (ppb). Since thimerosal is half mercury, this puts the concentration of mercury in the vaccine vial at 50,000 ppb.

To put this in perspective, liquid waste that exceeds 200 ppb of mercury must be disposed of in a special hazardous waste landfill. Drinking water cannot exceed 2 ppb mercury. "Trace" would probably be the last word to use when describing the amount of mercury in vaccines.

Myth: Thimerosal is no longer present in vaccines. It was removed in 1999. Fact: Thimerosal as of this writing (April ‘06) is still present in flu shots which are given to pregnant women and infants. Recent estimates show that, adjusted for a child`s body weight at the time of shots, there`s virtually no reduction at all in mercury exposure through vaccines from the previous decade. (Dr. David Ayoub, David Geier and Dr. Mark Geier.)

Myth: Ethylmercury, the type of mercury found in vaccines is less toxic than methylmercury. Fact: In a paper published in Environmental Health Perspective,August 2005, it was shown that infant primates, exposed to injected ethylmercury, retain twice as much inorganic mercury in their brains than primates exposed to equal amounts of ingested methylmercury. Once organic mercury is converted to inorganic mercury in cells, it becomes trapped and degradation of brain cells accelerate.

A recent study done at UC Davis, (http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/life_sciences/report-57003.html), shows that thimerosal leads to disruption of dendritic cells and the immune system.

Myth: There are vast volumes of studies which show thimerosal is safe. Fact: Again, this statement is the exact opposite of the truth. The only studies which suggest it is safe are epidemiological studies done by the producers, distributors and administrators of vaccines. The vast majority of this propaganda is published in Pediatrics which is owned by the American Academy of Pediatrics. These epidemiological studies are the same type of studies used by the tobacco industry to show that smoking does not cause lung cancer. If one wants to find the truth about thimerosal they should start by reading the Material Safety Data Sheet. You can then go to the medical search engine "Pubmed" and type in thimerosal. You will get references to 1072 published papers. Except for the papers published in Pediatrics, all the other papers focus on the extreme toxicity of thimerosal.

Statistically, there should be a great many unvaccinated autistic children. ...There are next to none...
