Immunescence

Figure 1

I was wandering along the street near where I was staying in Brisbane recently and a sign outside a pharmacy caught my eye (see Figure 1). Now you don't even need to go to a doctor to get your flu shot. All you need to do is to walk into a pharmacy and pay $25. For the elderly, it's free. The media dutifully plays its role by whipping up hysteria about the dangers of this disease.

It's likely that flu shots will be made free for everybody and the costs will be borne by the government and thus paid for by taxation. For the pharmaceutical companies, this is the almost ideal situation. I say "almost" because the ideal is mandatory vaccination. This is not quite the same as compulsory vaccination. You won't be compelled to get vaccinated but more and more obstacles will emerge if you don't. Restrictions will be placed on travel, entry to venues, employment etc.

The so-called Immunisation Coalition that has a creepy Star of David logo on its website and also contains a video about influenza in the elderly. In this video, the term immunescence which is short for immunosenescence is introduced. The claim is made that as people age, their immune systems become weaker and so the flu vaccine is ineffective in protecting these people from the ravages of the flu. This is why, when they are housed in aged care facilities, they need to be protected from exposure to the virus via visitors and fellow inmates.

Of course these same inmates whose immune systems are growing weaker will still be given their flu shots. That the vaccination itself will compromise their immunity further is never mentioned. It would be difficult to remain in an aged care facility nowadays and evade an annual flu shot. The prevailing mindset is that only vaccines can protect against pathogens such as the influenza virus. If a vaccine proves ineffective in the short term, it is because the pathogen has mutated. If the vaccine proves ineffective in the long term, it needs to be readministered on a regular basis (yearly in the case of the flu virus). There is no doubting that the vaccine is ineffective per se. In the Church of Vaccinology, belief must be unquestioning.

Vaccines are good. There are no bad vaccines, only bad reactions to them in a tiny minority of cases. The very great good they do far outweighs the very little harm they cause.

 I read this statement in a news article today:

ADHD is a neurological condition linked to impulsive behaviour and an impeded ability to pay attention and plan. It affects 5-7 per cent of the population, Dr Kohn said.

There is no deep questioning of this statistic. It's simply stated as a fact. Why does 5 to 7 percent of the population have a neurological condition that causes impulsive behaviour and an impeded ability to pay attention and plan? Has this condition afflicted a similar proportion of humans over the past few millennia or has it developed in tandem with the increasing aggressive marketing of vaccines? To ask such questions is to challenge the authority of The Church of Vaccinology and you will come up against The TRIUMVIRATE of BIG MEDIA, BIG MEDICINE AND BIG PHARMA. Who are you? 

Well, whoever you are, you are showing serious signs of vaccine hesitancy. Let's finish up with this quote from the Immunisation Coalition:

The Immunisation Coalition is a not for profit organisation, and is the leading voice in whole-of-life immunisation in Australia, protecting all Australians against communicable diseases. We collaborate with like-minded organisations such as Primary Health Networks (PHNs), Public Health Units, Government health departments and other groups that fight vaccine hesitancy. We are a champion for immunisation education, providing timely, accurate and scientifically informed information about vaccines and the diseases they prevent.

Of course, in its funding by Pfizer, Roche and other big pharmaceutical companies, the Immunisation Coalition is no different to other front organisations in the PR campaign to popularise vaccines. It is indeed a coalition and there seems that little can be done to oppose it.
