Vaccine Contamination Scandal: A Threat To Human Health

In the past few months, the American public has been informed that two infant diarrhea vaccines - GlaxoSmithKline's Rotarix and Merck's RotaTeq - are contaminated with pig virus DNA. But there's a difference between the two vaccines: Rotarix contains parts of a pig virus that does not make pigs sick while Merck's RotaTeq contains parts of a pig virus that kills baby pigs. How many mothers know that, when Merck's diarrhea vaccine is squirted into the mouths of their two month old babies, they are swallowing parts of a pig virus that suppresses the immune systems of baby pigs so badly, they waste away and suffer respiratory, kidney, reproductive and brain damage before dying?
One Click Note: Pharmaceutical industry insertion of pig material into vaccines shows great disrespect for the religions of both Muslims and Jews.  You couldn't make it up if you tried.

Vaccine Cells Trigger Fits In Babies And Toddlers

Nobel Prize laureate Peter Doherty
Dead swine flu cells used to make the seasonal flu vaccine could be triggering a nine-fold increase in febrile fits among toddlers, Nobel Prize laureate Peter Doherty said yesterday. The head of Australia's investigation into the spate of serious side-effects from the suspended pediatric vaccine said one hypothesis was that the killed-off cells were causing a "cytokine storm" -- a severe overreaction to the vaccine by healthy children's immune systems. Such reactions have been blamed for the death toll from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Professor Doherty told The Australian the vaccine "could be doing something along those lines".

Flu Vaccine Recalled As Adverse Reactions Increase x 9

CSL Ltd., the Southern Hemisphere’s only flu vaccine maker, recalled its seasonal shot for children in Australia after investigations failed to explain a nine-fold increase in fever and convulsions. Jim Bishop, Australia’s chief medical officer, said vaccinations should continue to be suspended for children under 5 years, a recommendation initially made on April 23. The investigation “identified no apparent clinical, biological or epidemiological factors that would explain the higher-than-expected observed rates of fever with convulsions,” Bishop said. Fluvax is the first seasonal influenza vaccine to contain the H1N1 strain of swine flu.  CSL called the product withdrawal a “retrieval” and said it’s occurring outside the regulatory process. The company said it isn’t able to provide a figure for the withdrawal because it doesn’t know how many doses have been used.
