"VACCINE FAILURE AND ADVERSE EVENT
[Slide 10 Persing's Patent]
"Dr. David Persing, formerly of Mayo, now with CORIXA recorded in his
US
patent 6,045,804:
"'Additional uncertainty may arise if the vaccines are not completely
protective; vaccinated patients with multisystem complaints
characteristic of later presentations of Lyme disease may be difficult
to distinguish from patients with vaccine failure. Vaccine failures
have been occasionally noted in animal models (E. Fikrig et al.,
Science, 250, 553-6 (1990)),...'
"Vaccine failure and vaccine adverse event cannot be distinguished
from
each other. An asymptomatic Bb infected adverse LYMErix event case
may
never be detected until the patient is vaccinated and symptoms occur,
which we think explains the majority of the adverse events reported to
FDA re: LYMErix. Many previously infected Lyme cases report systemic
symptoms after vaccination. Many find out they had Lyme after being
vaccinated, becoming ill, being tested for Lyme and finding other
specific antibodies.
"FDA should therefore not be looking for only arthritis as a potential
adverse event, to the exclusion of systemic illness."

Of course, how LYMErix caused systemic
illness (and the Imitators) is now what
everyone is into in the scientific world.

I Am a Protester, Not a Terrorist
by Catherine Porter
There was a knot in my stomach as I rode the subway to my first anti-
G20 protest this week.
All the foreboding emails flooding my inbox had me spooked. Company
instructions on gas masks, underwear choice (avoid cotton, it absorbs
gas fumes), and making sure to have an escape route. My husband had
just forwarded me a missive from his office administrator, suggesting
staff go underground to avoid the afternoon’s protest.
I recently returned from Haiti, where one hotel owner told me he wears
a bullet-proof vest whenever he drives downtown. He’s afraid of
kidnappers. “Who am I afraid of,” I wondered as I climbed the stairs
out of Queen station, past a phalanx of uniformed police officers.
Surely not Casey Oraa, a 25-year-old gay activist who wore a hot pink
scarf and talked about the federal government’s decision to pull
funding from the Gay Pride festival as we strolled side-by-side along
Queen West in a sea of protesters.
Or Dagmar Werkmeister, a women’s crisis hotline counsellor who spent
the morning hanging signs around the necks of city statues across the
city. (My favourite adorned a woman on the Boer War statue on
University: “The G-20 hurts hags and their fags.”)
Or Savoy Howe, an actress and boxer, who wielded a loudspeaker,
leading the group in a chant: “We’re queer. We’re fabulous. We’re
against the G20. We’re straight, we’re fabulous, we’re against the
G20. We’re differently abled, we’re fabulous, we’re against the G20.”
Terrifying stuff.
No wonder schools are shutting down, businesses are shuttering their
windows and banks are instructing their employees to dress down, to
avoid attack from riotous anti-capitalists.
No wonder we need more than 5,000 police officers, a $5 million fence,
a water cannon, long-range tear gas, rubber bullets and those sound
guns that have been so effective in disabling Somali pirates in the
Gulf of Aden.
No wonder the U.S. has slapped a travel warning on us, which Stockwell
Day blames on “anarchists and the violent groups who have already
indicated that they’re going to be there and they’re going to cause
trouble.”
Now, a confession: I am a protester. I have marched for women’s
safety, Earth Day and against the Iraq War. Nine years ago, I went to
Quebec City to protest the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
I wore an “Income GAP” T-shirt I’d made (modelled after the GAP logo).
This time, I think I need one that says “I am not Osama.”
Sure, male aggression has been on show at these economic summits since
the “Battle of Seattle.” The infamous “Black Block” usually arrives
and hurls tear gas canisters back over the fence at police officers,
along with pucks and rocks. At some point the crowd storms the fence
with the intension of “taking back the city.”
But never, to my knowledge, has a so-called anarchist protester
attacked a person passing by en route to work or lunch.
Let’s remember: only one person has been killed at a G8 protest, and
it was a protester shot in Genoa by a jumpy police officer.
My second protest was against mining and the tar sands. It started
yesterday morning in a park on Bathurst, just south of Dundas.
Protesters wore hazmat suits and clown noses and carried a giant black
oil pipe puppet, with the head of a dragon. Some Concordia students
had smothered their bodies with coffee grounds and cocoa, so they
looked drenched in oil. They cycled to Toronto for the protest.
The cops were on all sides —on foot, on bikes or motorcycles, in paddy
wagons or unmarked minivans.
The protest was boisterous and peaceful. People danced and sang and
talked to strangers — which is the greatest thing about protests.
Still, it’s hard not to feel anxious when you are surrounded by guns.
Lara Mrosovsky works at a children’s garden. She was arrested on
Monday after handing a bamboo flag pole to a protester friend.
Mrosovsky was detained for hours, she said. But, police dropped
charges of obstructing justice and carrying “burglary tools” when they
realized said tools were in fact her work keys.
“These are symptoms of the police overreacting,” said Mrosovsky, 31.
I still haven’t decided if I will carry a home-made gas mask to the
protests later this week. I was gassed in Quebec City, and remember
how much it stung my eyes and burned my lungs. But the thought of
carrying war apparatus to a protest appalls me. It is an acceptance of
that post-9/11 corollary that links protests to battle. I am a
protester, not a terrorist.
But I do know who frightens me.
On my bike ride to yesterday’s rally, I suddenly found myself behind a
pack of cycling officers, each weighed down with a riot mask, plastic
handcuffs and a gas mask. One officer kept unclipping his gun at his
waist and pulling it from the holster as he pedalled.
Surely they aren’t on such high alert for an environmental march
across town, I ventured.
“The natives are coming to town today,” he answered solemnly. “They
want to bust things up.”
