Streptococcal Infections in Children

 From the New York Times, December 7th 2022:

Health officials in Britain said several children had recently died after being diagnosed with invasive Group A streptococcus, sounding the alarm for schools and prompting parents to spring to action.

“We are seeing a higher number of cases of Group A strep this year than usual,” Dr. Colin Brown, the deputy director of the U.K. Health Security Agency, said in a news release on Friday. While the bacteria usually causes mild infections, he said, in rare circumstances it can cause more serious illnesses.

The question is asked in the article: why are cases rising now? The answer:

It is unclear. Health officials have said that there is no evidence that a new strain is circulating but that the increase in infections is most likely related to high amounts of circulating bacteria. Doctors said a combination of factors, including more social mixing compared with previous years and a rise in other respiratory viruses, may be contributing.

As some one pointed out in a tweet however, there may well be a smoking gun. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

I checked out VigiAccess and the screenshot in the tweet is indeed accurate. Now 40 cases out of 296,324 may seem minuscule but as with United States VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, probably only a small percentage of adverse reactions are reported. In any case, why is the involvement of the vaccine not regarded as a possibility?

The NHS website lists the side-effects shown in Figure 2. No reference to the VigiAccess database of adverse reactions totally almost 300,000.

Figure 2

Wow! The gelatine is pork-based by the way and clearly the vaccine has been treated with the antibiotics neomycin and gentamicin. That's what's been going up the noses of UK schoolchildren recently. Just one more reason to home-school children and keep them out the "miseducation" system altogether.

The Influenza Vaccine and COVID-19

An interesting article on the Home Vaccine Education Network suggests that those who have had regular flu shots may be at risk of more severe reactions to the COVID-19 virus and it could also be a contributing factor in the onset of so-called "long COVID" that I dealt with in an earlier post. The article also some interesting background on the flu vaccine that I'll include below:

The Flu Shot:  Never Supported by Science

In 1972, Dr. John Anthony Morris reported his research findings on the influenza vaccine to his superiors at the FDA.  A distinguished doctor and government researcher, Dr. Morris had been comissioned 13 years earlier to scientifically justify the FDA's plans to widely expand the flu vaccination program.   To his expectant audience, however, his results were thoroughly disappointing.   Dr. Morris reported that the flu shot provided no measurable net benefit, in part because the injected product failed to stimulate antibody production in the lungs, thus allowing for viral replication in this sensitive area.   It was later realised that the lack of benefit also derives from the flu shot's ability to  increase vulnerability to viruses not covered in the shot, including unmatched strains of flu and different respiratory viruses dangerous in their own right.   Dr. Morris' finding of no net benefit of the influenza vaccine has been repeatedly verified with contemporary data, including a study by Simonsen et al. (2005)   that found that the large increase in flu vaccination of the elderly between 1980 and 2001 failed to decrease flu season mortality, and a study in Britain which found that the vast increase in flu shot uptake by those who had just turned 65 (vs. those who were just a bit younger) provided no decline in hospitalisations or deaths.

Corruption, Not Public Health 

Given the powerful results of   Dr. Morris' research, the flu vaccine's only perk could be to line the pockets of Big Pharma, and should have been regulated out of existence.  Unfortunately, the cozy relationship between the FDA, CDC, and the pharmaceutical industry, well documented today, is not a new phenomena.   Instead of reconsidering the vaccination program Dr. Morris' supervisors swiftly closed his laboratory and blocked publication of his results.    Breathing a sigh of relief that good science would not be placed in the way of good profits, Big Pharma continued pushing for expansion of the flu shot market.  Even if there wasn't a huge benefit in ordinary years, they argued, it was important to have manufacturing in place in order to churn out large quantities of vaccine quickly to save the world during the next serious pandemic (History of Vaccines, by Arthur Allen).

The Flu Shot Makes A Flu Pandemic - Worse?

Enter 2009, the first major flu pandemic to occur after  mass influenza vaccination had become a reality.  Big pharma did indeed heroically turn out millions of doses of pandemic influenza vaccine.     Unfortunately,  most of the doses did not become available to the general public until after the pandemic was nearly over.  In addition there was the inconvenient finding that individuals who had obediently taken the seasonal flu vaccine the year before were  more likely  to develop pandemic influenza illness that was medically attended.    Public health experts were shocked by these findings but kept their lips sealed as Big Pharma and their sponsored government agencies used  the public spotlight on the flu in 2009 as a springboard to push for an even larger flu vaccination program.   For the first time the flu vaccine was recommended for every American citizen, especially children, who by 2020 were the largest consumers of the shot despite lack of evidence of benefit and the mercury that was allowed to remain in the vaccine.

The Flu Shot Promotes Other Viruses

As alluded to above, 2009 was not an anomaly; the flu shot  routinely increases the rate of infection with other pathogens, negating any benefits of the shot.   While many of the studies of this phenomena worked with patients who had freely chosen whether or not to take the flu shot, (Dierig et al., 2014), one study met the gold standard of a blinded, randomised, placebo controlled trial (Cowling et al., 2012).  While it has been generally hypothesised that the mechanism of the increase in non-flu illnesses is viral interference - the observation that illness with one virus may block others  - it was found by Riken et al. (2018)  that the increase in non-flu infections starts in the first 14 days after receipt of the flu vaccine, before any immunity to the flu has developed.  This indicates that like the DTP vaccine and other inactivated pathogen vaccines, the vaccine engenders non-specific immune system changes which increase vulnerability to certain other infections.  Most of the studies on the flu vaccine have focused on children, or found statistically significant results only in children, however one study to find an affect in adults found that while the flu shot appeared to offer cross protection against certain pathogens for this population, the vulnerability to several other pathogens, including coronavirus, was specifically increased.   This study was with regards to "old" coronaviruses, not COVID-19.    The potential of the flu shot to fuel COVID-19, however, was firmly established, and, as we demonstrated above, can now clearly be seen in the COVID data.

The article presents a rather simplified bar graph to illustrate the impact that the level of flu vaccinations have on COVID mortality rates (see Figure 1):


Figure 1

In regards to these results, the article observes that:
Countries with high flu vaccine coverage, as of July 2020, suffered up to at least 20 times more COVID-19 fatalities/million as countries with low coverage. There appears to be a TIPPING POINT  that occurs at 45% -50% flu vaccine coverage. At vaccination coverage levels either below or above this point there is little correlation with COVID fatality, but the average fatality rate in countries with coverage over the tipping point is significantly higher.  This indicates that reaching a certain density of individuals made especially vulnerable to COVID  by flu vaccination results in connected clusters of vulnerability that span the system (that is, the percolation threshold is reached) which suddenly creates  sharply worse outcomes.   This could be explained if there is an exceptionally virulent variant or variants of COVID that spreads only among flu vaccinated individuals, because it has adapted to immune system shifts that are commonly triggered by the vaccine.  This variant could only become widespread when it can easily spread along chains of vaccinated individuals.

The most powerful correlation, however, is seen when we look at vaccination rates of children (again, 2018/2019 season).  For this data there appears to be a small tipping point around 63% and a much larger one  around 69%.  Every single state with a high COVID death rate, including New York, had a high flu vaccination rate of children.  Since child deaths nonetheless remain low, this must indicate that the children passed a more lethal infection on to their elders, indicating again that the primary role of flu vaccination is to cause individuals to pass more severe cases of COVID-19 to each other.  

The flu vaccinations have been aggressively pushed over the past decade, especially for the elderly. In May of 2019, I posted about topic (link). Of course, the propaganda push for COVID vaccinations has reached insane levels with all sorts of tricks being used to get people to step forward. Such tricks include:

  • exaggerated or simply erroneous statistics as to what percentage of a population has received shots: any statistics relating to COVID-19 should be viewed with deep suspicion.

  • fabricated shortage: if something is in short supply, it incites more interest because it becomes more desirable or there is a feeling that you may miss out if you don't seize on the first available opportunity

  • fear-mongering and shaming: if you don't get the jab, your risk of dying from COVID-19 is much increased or so you would be led to believe. Alternatively, if you question the vaccine or the official narrative concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, then you have some kind of psychological flaw (and vague studies and doubtful polls will be adduced to confirm this).

  • the carrot: if you have the jab, you'll be able to get back to work, meet with your friends and travel because the vaccination passport is coming and you'll be eligible for it.

  • the stick: if you don't have the jab, you won't be able to get back to work, meet with your friends and travel because the vaccination passport is coming and you won't be eligible for it unless you get the jab

Aspirin and the Spanish Flu



" ... the fact that he was spending day after day in bed 
being dosed with aspirin did nothing to improve his strength."


I came across this when reading Humphrey Carpenter's biography of J.R.R. Tolkien and was reminded of a connection that I'd read about concerning aspirin and the Spanish Flu that broke out at the end of the First World War. The quote above relates to Tolkien's recuperation in hospital from so-called trench fever contracted during his stint in the trenches at the Somme.

You'd be hard pressed to find too many people who could make a connection between aspirin and the Spanish Flu and that's why it stuck in my head. I came across the idea in a book by John Hamer titled OUR DISTORTED REALITY.


Here is part of what he had to say about the role of aspirin:
The 20 to 50 million deaths during 1918 have long been attributed to a virulent new virus but the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) has now clearly stated that common upper respiratory bacteria was responsible, not a new virus.  There was no new deadly virus but there was something new in 1918 and that was toxic aspirin, being used in totally inappropriate, dangerous dosages. 
“... just before the 1918 death spike, aspirin was recommended in regimens now known to be potentially toxic and to cause pulmonary oedema and may therefore have contributed to overall pandemic mortality and several of its mysteries. Young adult mortality may be explained by willingness to use the new, recommended therapy and the presence of youth in regimented treatment settings (military)” stated Dr. Karen Starko. 
Use of Bayer aspirin and other generic aspirin suppressed immunity, allowing the bacteria to develop into a massive bacterial infections and pneumonias.  In addition to the deaths by pneumonia, the use of Bayer aspirin (and generic versions) at toxic doses can explain the lingering mysteries of extremely rapid deterioration from health to death as well as the death of young, apparently otherwise healthy people.  Bayer's heavy advertising and government and medical recommendations fuelled use of both Bayer aspirin and generic versions. 
Based on the primary role that aspirin played in the millions of 1918 deaths versus the survival of those who avoided it in favour of natural treatments, it would suggest that 1918 was not a plague caused by a virus, but a pharmaceutical industry issue.  And given the scale of the deaths, it was without question, the greatest medical catastrophe in human history, exceeding even the ‘Great Plague’ of the Dark and Middle Ages.
Here is a New York Times article that discusses Dr. Karen Starko's findings:

In 1918 Pandemic, Another Possible Killer: Aspirin

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR OCT. 12, 2009

The 1918 flu epidemic was probably the deadliest plague in human history, killing more than 50 million people worldwide. Now it appears that a small number of the deaths may have been caused not by the virus, but by a drug used to treat it: aspirin. 
Dr. Karen M. Starko, author of one of the earliest papers connecting aspirin use with Reye’s syndrome, has published an article suggesting that overdoses of the relatively new “wonder drug” could have been deadly. 
What raised Dr. Starko’s suspicions is that high doses of aspirin, amounts considered unsafe today, were commonly used to treat the illness, and the symptoms of aspirin overdose may have been difficult to distinguish from those of the flu, especially among those who died soon after they became ill. 
Some doubts were raised even at the time. At least one contemporary pathologist working for the Public Health Service thought that the amount of lung damage seen during autopsies in early deaths was too little to attribute to viral pneumonia, and that the large amounts of bloody, watery liquid in the lungs must have had some other cause. 
Dr. Starko acknowledged that she did not have autopsy reports or other documents that could prove that aspirin was the problem. “There was a lot of chaos in these places,” she said, “and I’m not sure if there are good records anywhere.” 
But of the many factors that might have influenced the outcome in any particular case, Dr. Starko wrote, aspirin overdose stands out for several reasons, including a confluence of historical events. 
In February 1917, Bayer lost its American patent on aspirin, opening a lucrative drug market to many manufacturers. Bayer fought back with copious advertising, celebrating the brand’s purity just as the epidemic was reaching its peak. 
Aspirin packages were produced containing no warnings about toxicity and few instructions about use. In the fall of 1918, facing a widespread deadly disease with no known cure, the surgeon general and the United States Navy recommended aspirin as a symptomatic treatment, and the military bought large quantities of the drug. 
The Journal of the American Medical Association suggested a dose of 1,000 milligrams every three hours, the equivalent of almost 25 standard 325-milligram aspirin tablets in 24 hours. This is about twice the daily dosage generally considered safe today. 
Dr. Starko’s paper, published in the Nov. 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, has stirred some interest, if not enthusiastic endorsement, among other experts.
“I think the paper is creative and asking good questions,” said John M. Barry, author of a book on the 1918 flu titled “The Great Influenza.” “But we don’t know how many people actually took the doses of aspirin discussed in the article.” 
The pharmacology of aspirin is complex and was not fully understood until the 1960s, but dosage is crucial. Doubling the dose given at six-hour intervals can cause a 400 percent increase in the amount of the medicine that remains in the body. Even quite low daily doses — six to nine standard aspirin pills a day for several days — can lead to dangerously high blood levels of the drug in some people. 
Peter A. Chyka, a professor of pharmacy at the University of Tennessee, said he found Dr. Starko’s theory “intriguing.” Little was known about safe dosages at the time, he said, and doctors often simply raised the amount until they saw signs of toxicity. 
“In the context of what we know today about aspirin and aspirin-like products, Starko has made an interesting effort to put this together,” Dr. Chyka said. “There are things other than flu that can complicate a disease like this.” 
Although he doubted that more than a small number of deaths could be attributed to aspirin overdose, Dr. David M. Morens, an epidemiologist with the National Institutes of Health, said the paper was valuable in that “it makes an attempt to look at environmental or host factors that may be involved.” He said, “We haven’t been able to explain all the deaths in young adults with the virus itself.” 
Dr. Starko was hesitant to estimate how many deaths aspirin overdose could have caused, but suggested that military archives might be one place to look. “I’m hoping others will follow up,” she said, “by examining available treatment records.” 
Of course, it's emphasised that only a small number of deaths could have been caused by aspirin overdose but, as is admitted, nobody really knows how many. Once the possibility of aspirin being a factor in the death toll is admitted, the supposition that its effect was minimal is unscientific. One can equally assert that it had a major effect. Only more research can resolve the issue. 

Of course, this news has done little to affect the official narrative that a deadly influenza virus came out of nowhere and killed millions of people, many of them in their prime. The pharmaceutical industry thrives on the fear that another such virus may emerge at any time and sweep most of humanity away. Therefore, don't forget your annual flu shot!

Getting back to Tolkien, he did have a couple of further hospitalisations and never returned to the trenches. As his long suffering wife Edith sarcastically wrote in a letter to him:
‘I should think you ought never to feel tired again,’ Edith wrote, ‘for the amount of Bed you have had since you came back from France nearly two years ago is enormous.’
Whether he was taking aspirin during his time between hospital interludes is unknown but it is probable that he was because it was widely available. What Hamer has done in respect to the Spanish Flu is to introduce an element of doubt into the official narrative. He hasn't done this by making any wild claims but instead has used the findings of medical professionals.

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.

Figure 2
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.

Flu Vaccine


I was just reading about an oil-based adjuvant that is being added to a flu vaccine called FLUAD recommended for adults 65 and over. There is information at https://www.fluad.com/ and the adjuvant is known as MF59C.1:
Adjuvant: MF59C.1 which is an exclusive adjuvant: 9.75 mg squalene, 1.175 mg polysorbate 80, 1.175 mg sorbitan trioleate, 0.66 mg sodium citrate, 0.04 mg citric acid, water for injections. 
For one dose of 0.5 ml 
This vaccine complies with the WHO recommendations (Northern Hemisphere) and EU decision for the 2018/2019 season. 
Fluad may contain traces of eggs such as ovalbumin or chicken proteins, kanamycin and neomycin sulphate, formaldehyde, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), barium sulphate and hydrocortisone, which are used during the manufacturing process.
The key ingredient is squalene which is found throughout the body and also in olive oil where its antioxidant properties have health benefits. It might seem that injecting squalene into the body would prove innocuous because it's already in the body. However, it's the route of entry that is the problem. If we consume it orally, all is well but injecting it directly into the bloodstream along with the virus and a cocktail of contaminants is a different matter entirely.

The idea is that because the immune system is weaker in older people, it needs to be given an extra "kick" and this is the purpose of the squalene. However, it has been proposed that the immune system, having mounted a defence against the squalene-containing FLUAD, is now primed to attack squalene wherever it encounters it in the body. This can have drastic consequences. Here's an overview of what goes into normal flu vaccines (taken from here) taken by those who are below 65 years of age:
1. Influenza viruses 
The flu vaccine contains tiny amounts of the viruses it protects against. The presence of these viruses in the vaccine triggers the body's natural defense mechanism to produce antibodies to fight them. This means that the body quickly recognizes them when exposed to the disease in "real life." 
  • Different influenza viruses contained in a flu shot are:
  • Influenza A virus H1N1 called the Michigan strain
  • Influenza A virus H3N2 called the Hong Kong strain
  • One or two influenza B viruses called the Brisbane and Phuket strains
Traditional flu shots are trivalent (three-component) vaccines because they protect against three viruses: two influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2), and one influenza B virus. 
A person can also get a quadrivalent (four-component) vaccine, which protects against an additional B virus. 
2. Formaldehyde 
Formaldehyde is toxic and potentially lethal in high doses. However, it is present in such small amounts in a flu vaccination that it is harmless. 
Formaldehyde's role in the flu shot is to inactivate toxins from viruses and bacteria that may contaminate the vaccine during production, as well as the viruses naturally present in the vaccine. 
Formaldehyde is typically present in the human body and is a product of healthy digestive function. 
3. Aluminum Salts 
Aluminum has been used in vaccines for over 70 years. 
Aluminum salts are adjuvants, meaning that they help the body to develop a stronger immune response against the virus in the vaccine. Because they boost the body's response, this means that the vaccine can contain smaller amounts of the virus. 
Similar to formaldehyde, and to most ingredients in the flu shot, the amount of aluminum present in the vaccine is extremely small. 
This compound is not always present in flu vaccines, some of which are aluminum-free. 
4. Thimerosal
Thimerosal is not found in all flu vaccines. 
Thimerosal is a preservative that keeps the vaccine free from contamination by bacteria and fungi. Without this, the growth of bacteria and fungi is common when a syringe is in a multi-dose vial (a vial that contains more than one dose).
Thimerosal is made of an organic form of mercury known as ethylmercury, a safe compound that usually only stays in the blood for a few days. 
It is different from the standard mercury that can cause illness in large doses, and from the mercury found in seafood (called methylmercury), which can stay in the body for years. 
Flu shots will only contain thimerosal when they are in a multi-dose vial. Single-dose vials, pre-filled syringes, and nasal sprays do not need to include this preservative because contamination is not an issue. 
5. Chicken egg proteins 
Proteins from chicken eggs help viruses to grow before they go into the vaccine.
Influenza viruses used in vaccines are usually grown inside fertilized chicken eggs, where the virus makes copies of itself. After that, the viruses are separated from the egg and placed in the vaccine; this means that the finished vaccine may contain small amounts of egg proteins. 
The CDC say that the flu shot is typically safe for people with egg allergies, but those who have an egg allergy must mention it to the doctor before receiving the shot. A person with a severe egg allergy may require monitoring by a doctor following the injection. 
Egg-free flu shots are also available. 
6. Gelatin 
Gelatin is present in the flu shot as a stabilizer. Stabilizers keep the vaccine effective from the point of production to the moment of use. 
Stabilizers also help to protect the vaccine from the damaging effects of heat or freeze-drying. 
Most flu vaccines use pork-based gelatin as a stabilizer. 
7. Antibiotics 
Antibiotics are present in the flu vaccine to keep bacteria from growing during the production and storage of the vaccine. 
Vaccines do not contain antibiotics that may cause severe reactions, such as penicillin. Instead, vaccines contain other forms of antibiotics, such as gentamicin or neomycin. Neomycin is also an ingredient in many topical medications, such as lotions, ointments, and eye drops.
The lucky 65 and overs get all this and squalene to boot! It seems that squalene or similar oil-based adjuvants are being added to other vaccines as well. As this article puts it:
From their inception, mass vaccinations have acted as a biological weapon, undermining health, manipulating and crippling the immune system, and instigating cycles of new and debilitating diseases. Monopoly medicine’s solution? Inject us with more powerful, genetically engineered high potency vaccines. Never mind they are seeding us with “nano-bombs” that will further attack our already compromised immune systems. 
The concept of stimulating a hyperactive immune response by using oil-based adjuvants has clearly backfired since we now know that the stronger the antigenic response, the more damaging the adjuvant itself is to the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system. The precedent for mass medical experimentation via an ever increasing recommended vaccine schedule has been set. We can now predict the grim future of mankind: an epidemic of neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases never before imagined.
It was squalene that was also added to the anthrax vaccine that was administered to US personnel during the Gulf War and that is suspected of being the cause of the so-called Gulf War Syndrome. The characteristics of the syndrome are:
Referring to squalene in her extensive article on adjuvants, Dr. Scheibner writes, “This adjuvant contributed to the cascade of reactions called “Gulf War syndrome”, documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War. The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.
Like a reverse lottery, if you're unlucky after receiving your flu shot, you could end up with some of the reactions just mentioned. If you're particularly unlucky, you could develop multiple sclerosis years later or some other chronic condition. If you're a solid citizen and line up for your flu shot every year, your chances of succumbing to something eventually are certainly improved.

Over the past months, I've tended to avoid reading anti-vaccine news because I find it too unsettling. I can't accept that this sort of abuse, especially of children, is accepted and actively promoted. The pro-vaccine news is predictable and relentless. For example, this news article appeared in the Jakarta Post on May 23rd 2019:
Vaccine doubts spread like disease, must be taken offline: Vaccine chief 
Doubts about vaccines have spread across social media like a disease and false information that 'kills people' should be taken down by the companies running digital platforms, the head of global vaccine alliance Gavi said on Tuesday. 
The new term being bandied about is "vaccine hesitancy" and it must be combated at all costs by the medical mafia and a compliant media. A book that delves deeply into the Gulf War Syndrome is Vaccine A by Gary Matsumoto:


Here is the Amazon review:
In this provocative look at the US military from the Persian Gulf War through the 2003 invasion of Iraq, investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto contends that an anthrax vaccine dispensed by the Department of Defense was the cause of Gulf War Syndrome and the origins of a massive cover-up. Matsumoto calls it the worst friendly-fire incident in military history. A skillfully-woven narrative that serves as a warning about this man-made epidemic, Vaccine A is a much needed account of just what went wrong, and why.

"Whole bacterial" Pneumonia Vaccine Approaches Human Trials

Keep 'em scared!
One could post everyday about news articles relating to the vaccine madness that has overtaken the planet. This recent article that appeared in NEW ATLAS is a case in point. The article quotes a Professor Paton as saying:
The pneumococcus is the biggest bacterial killer on the planet. It's the most common cause of pneumonia, which is responsible for about 20 per cent of deaths from all causes in children under five years in developing countries. Globally, the pneumococcus accounts for about two million deaths a year. 
In developed countries, the death rate from pneumonia for children under five years in much lower. For example, in New South Wales:
There were 1,010 deaths from influenza and pneumonia in 2016 (9.2 deaths per 100,000 population) and just under 92% of these were in persons aged 65 years and over (65.3 deaths per 100,000 population in that age group). Death rates from influenza or pneumonia are very low in all other age groups. Source
One could argue that the lower death is due to widespread vaccinations but the article points out that the current vaccines are not all that effective. To quote the Professor again:
Professor James Paton, a director at GPN Vaccines and Director of the University of Adelaide's Research Centre for Infectious Diseases, says that the current pneumococcal vaccine works by targeting the complex carbohydrates that coat the outside of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium, which is the main cause of pneumonia. He points out that this vaccine, which costs more than US$100 a shot, only covers 13 types of these complex carbohydrates, when there are 98 structurally distinct types.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a step closer to human clinical trials

The reasons for the high death rate from pneumonia in developing countries are the same ones that made measles such a deadly killer in the middle of the 19th century in Britain and other countries. It is crowded living conditions, poor hygiene and sanitation, and nutritional deficiencies that undermine the health of babies and infants in these countries, making them susceptible to infection. Address these issues and the death rates plummet. But where's the money in that?

Professor Paton is working on a new vaccine:
The new vaccine developed by GPN Vaccines in partnership with The University of Adelaide works by removing the complex carbohydrates that form an outer coating of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium, exposing the surface proteins that are common to all serotypes of the bacteria. The immune system of individuals that have previously been exposed to those surface proteins or vaccinated can mount a defense against the infection. 
The vaccine is a proprietary engineered strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae that has been cultured and inactivated by being exposed to gamma rays – hence its name, Gamma-PN. The company has previously conducted pre-clinical studies where intranasal vaccination with Gamma-PN protected animals against lethal pneumococcal sepsis caused by a number of different Streptococcus pneumoniae strains.

If it's effective, it's going to be expensive and it's not going to be given out free to developing countries. These countries will need to purchase it out of their health care budgets, leaving that much less money to spend on infrastructure projects to improve sanitation and crowded living conditions. The politicians in these countries are easily persuaded by the pharmaceutical industry to make such purchases. Both parties profit but the living conditions of the poor remain unchanged and this is the real cause of the mortality. If the children of the poor do receive a jab of this new vaccine, their already weakened immune systems will cause them to fall prey to some other pathogen.

Biotechnology and the New World Order

There's always interesting news items to be found at The Jerusalem Post. This morning, the content in one particular article from January 31st, 2019 caught my eye. 

A journalist, Hagay Hacohen, was attending a workshop in Tel Aviv hosted by Science Abroad, an organisation that "aims to make connections between Israeli scientists currently out of the country and present them with paths to return home and find meaningful work". 

During the lunch break, the journalist talks to various participants attending the workshop. It was one particular chat that caught my attention:
I return to the buffet table and seek out Elad Eliahoo, who pioneered a novel way to castrate cats without requiring an operation. 
Cats are among the most destructive species on the planet. This is not their fault; they’re furry predators humans favour and provide food and shelter to, and in warm countries, like Israel, street cats breed into fantastic figures and eat anything they can catch – whether mice or rare birds. 

Eliahoo was able to design a virus that carries an active component that causes the cat’s immune system to attack sex hormones, which means cats who get the shot do not go into heat and do not reproduce. Not only that, he adds, but the virus affects only the cat it was injected into and is highly unlikely to travel to other species. 

This blows my mind. Scientists, like Eliahoo, are currently able to hijack an immune system, give it commands, and design a delivery system for it. In theory, one could design such a virus to sterilise a specific community or to kick in if cells even begin to signal they are on the way to becoming a cancer cell.

Eliahoo explains that the shot is cheaper and easier to use than capturing cats, operating on them, and releasing them in the same spot, but my mind is at a different point by now. I’m thinking about the cat-sterilising virus getting out of hand and wiping out other species, such as humans. 

Eliahoo gives me a highly patient look and explains that “the virus is not going to complete its life cycle, because we removed huge chunks of its genetic sequence so it can’t reproduce. To regain these chunks, the virus will have to find another virus and take them off it, which is so unlikely to be almost nil.” 

I use the classic line spoken by Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park (1993): “Life finds a way.” Eliahoo thinks about that for a moment, and then shares with me that vaccines against rabies are already given to feral animals using just such a mechanism.
This was the first I had heard of such a virus. If it is effective, then the implications are chilling if one believes the global elite are intent on reducing the population of the planet to around 500 million people. If a similar virus targeting humans was engineered, it could be easily added to the aggressively promoted annual flu vaccinations that many people receive.

Inscription on the Georgia Guidestones

There's no information I can find about this virus. There is a product called Calchlorin described by the PARSEMUS FOUNDATION as:
A low-cost nonsurgical neuter shot for male dogs, cats, and other animals ... not patented and thus available in the U.S. and every country with access to the two ingredients (calcium chloride dihydrate, and pharmaceutical-grade or food-grade pure ethyl alcohol). Can be ordered by veterinarians from a reputable compounding pharmacy ... or can be prepared under sterile conditions.
There is little incentive for this product to be promoted because veterinarians profit mightily from surgical castration. The "holy grail" of birth control for dogs and cats must target females and this is what Elad Eliahoo's cat virus purports to do. So why no news?

Elad Eliahoo works at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and is currently involved in three major research projects (source):
  1. the association between animal welfare and the reproductive system, including the development of non-surgical sterilisation methods; 
  2. improving reproductive health and fertility in dairy cows; 
  3. investigating human prenatal placenta conditions such as foetal growth restriction and preeclampsia, via relevant animal models, as well as by in-vitro and ex-vivo approaches.
Maybe it's simply too early in his research and more work needs to be done. However, such a virus would likely not be well received by veterinarians as it would reduce their revenue. More significantly, it would cause a general unease in the population. As the journalist asked of Elad Eliahoo, can the virus spread to humans? The more conspiratorial would ask: is such a virus being developed for humans? It wouldn't be long before someone suggested that the virus was being secretly incorporated into vaccines in an attempt to depopulate the planet or reduce the fertility of certain ethnic groups.

It would be better to suppress news about the virus completely and continue work on it in secret, especially the development of a virus that targets human reproduction. If such a virus were developed then it would be an effective bioweapon that could be delivered using the Trojan Horse of vaccinations, especially flu vaccines that target the young and healthy. Such crazy thinking is unlikely to find its way into mainstream media.

The global elite will not be getting flu shots or if they do, they will be different from what the sheeple receive. It will be interesting to see whether news of this "infertility virus" makes it into the mainstream or whether a blanket of silence descends upon it. Any secret biotechnology research by Israel is to be viewed with suspicion and maybe this casual disclosure by a prominent researcher to an enquiring journalist is all that will ever surface of this virus.
