Interesting article.
It answers a lot of questions people have about the vaccines.

http://www.naturalne...lu_vaccine.html

Quote

(NaturalNews) The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call “bald faced lies” about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for “free vaccine clinics” in the same space. The media, it seems, is so deeply in bed with the culture of vaccinations that they will do almost anything to keep the public misinformed. And that includes lying about swine  flu vaccines.

There are ten key lies that continue to be told by the  mainstream media (MSM) about swine flu and swine flu vaccines.


Lie #1 – There are no adjuvants used in the vaccines
I was recently being interviewed by a major U.S. news network when the reporter interviewing me came up with this humdinger: There are no adjuvants being used in the swine flu vaccines, he  said!

I assured him that adjuvants were, indeed, a crucial part of the vaccine recipe, and they were being widely used by drug companies to “stretch” the vaccine supply. It’s no secret. But he insisted he had been directly told by a drug company rep that no adjuvants were being used at all. And he believed them! So everything being published by this large news network about swine flu vaccines now assumes there are no adjuvants in the vaccines at all.


Lie #2 – The swine flu is more dangerous than seasonal flu
This lie is  finally starting to unravel. I admit that in the early days of this pandemic, even I was concerned this could be a global killer. But after observing the very mild impact the virus was having on people in the real world, it became obvious that this was a mild flu, no more dangerous than a seasonal flu.

The MSM, however, continues to  promote H1N1 swine flu as being super dangerous, driving fear into the minds of people and encouraging them to rush out and get a vaccine shot for a flu that’s really no more likely to kill them than the regular winter sniffles. Sure, the virus could still mutate into something far worse, but if it does that, the current vaccine could be rendered obsolete anyway!


Lie #3 – Vaccines protect you from swine flu
This is the biggest lie of all, and the media pushes it hard. Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu. But it’s just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do).

As I  pointed out in a recent article, statistically speaking the average American is  40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have their life  saved by a swine flu vaccine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026955_s…)


Lie #4 – Vaccines are safe
And how would any journalists actually know this? None of the vaccines have been subjected to real-world testing for any meaningful duration. The “safety” of these vaccines is nothing more than wishful thinking.

   The MSM also doesn’t want you to know what’s in the vaccines. Some vaccines are made from viral fragments grown in diseased African monkeys. If that sounds incredible, read the true story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/026779_s…


Lie #5 – The vaccine isn’t mandatory
You hear this lie all the time: The  swine flu  vaccine shot is voluntary, they say. But it’s not true if you’re an employee at a place where vaccines are being mandated. Millions of Americans are now being told by their employers that if they don’t get vaccine shots, they will be effectively fired from their jobs. It’s especially true with health care workers, day care  employees and school teachers.


Lie #6 – Getting a vaccine shot is a good bet on your health
In reality, a vaccine shot is far more likely to harm you than help you. According to one viral expert, the actual mortality rate of the swine flu virus is estimated to  be as low as .007 percent (http://www.reuters.com/article/heal…). That means H1N1 swine  flu kills less than one person in 100,000. Even if the vaccine works,  let’s say, 10 percent of the time, you’d have to vaccine one million  people to prevent one death from swine flu.

And in vaccinating one million people, you would inevitably harm or kill several people, simply from the vaccine side effects! Your net risk of death is increased by getting  a swine flu  vaccine.


Lie #7 – The vaccine isn’t made with “attenuated live virus”
When the swine flu vaccines were first being announced several months ago, they were described as being made with “attenuated live virus.” This was directly mentioned in CDC documents, among other places.

This term apparently freaked out the American news consumer, and it has since been all but erased from any discussion about vaccines. Now, journalists will actually argue with you and insist the vaccines contain no attenuated live viruses whatsoever.

Except they’re wrong. The vaccines are, indeed, made with “attenuated live viruses.” That’s how you make a vaccine: You take live viruses, then you weaken them (”attenuate”) and inject them into people.


Lie #8 – Wash, wash, wash your hands (to avoid exposure)
This idea of  washing your hands a hundred times a day is all based on the assumption that you  can avoid exposure to the swine flu virus. But that’s impractical. The virus is now so widespread that virtually everyone is certain to be exposed to it through the air if not other means. This whole idea of avoiding exposure to the swine flu virus is nonsense. The conversation should shift to ways to survive exposure via a healthy immune system.

Of course, hand  washing is a very good idea in a hospital setting. Recent news reveals that doctors are too busy to wash their own hands, resulting in the rampant spread of superbugs throughout most large hospitals in first world nations.


Lie #9 – Children are more vulnerable to swine flu than adults
This is just a flat-out lie, but it makes for good vaccine sales. Vaccines are right now being targeted primarily to schoolchildren.

But the truth is that swine flu is extremely mild in children. “It’s mildest in kids,” says Dr Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University. “That’s one of the really good pieces of news in this pandemic.” Reuters actually had the guts to report this story, but most of the larger media outlets are still reporting that children are the most vulnerable.


Lie #10 – There is nothing else you can do beyond a vaccine and Tamiflu
This is where the media lies by omission. The mainstream media absolutely refuses to print just about any story that talks about using vitamin D, anti-viral herbs or natural remedies to protect yourself from swine flu. In the MSM, there are two options and only two: Vaccines and Tamiflu. That’s it. No other options exist in their fictional reality.

Why is the mainstream media so afraid to print the truth these days? Why can’t reporting on swine flu see the light of day… literally, with a mention of sunlight and vitamin D? Apparently, Big Pharma has such a tight grip on mainstream newspapers that no true  story on swine flu can ever make it past the editor’s desk.


Killing stories, deceiving the public
It must really be depressing to work for the mainstream media. Even the reporters I know can’t stand it. The truth, they admit, rarely makes it into print.

Over the last few years, I’ve had a couple of job offers from large media outlets. They want to pay me a six-figure salary and stick me behind a desk where they can control what I report. Needless to say, I routinely reject those offers. If I can’t write the truth like I do here on NaturalNews.com, there’s no point writing at all. In too many ways, the mainstream media has become little more than a corporate mouthpiece, whoring itself out to the highest bidder / advertiser.

It’s no fault of the frontline reporters who actually work there. For the most part, they agree with what I’m saying. It’s the fault of the profit-oriented corporate mindset where news is about selling newspapers rather than actually informing the public.

Important news stories get killed every day in the newsrooms  across America. They get killed not because they are poorly investigated or poorly written, but because they upset advertisers and corporate string pullers who shape the news and reject any stories that threaten their own financial interests.

Here in 2009, the distorted reporting on the swine flu vaccine has been one of the greatest media frauds ever perpetrated. The media has in every way contributed to the widespread ignorance of the American people on the subject of vitamin D and natural immune-boosting defenses that could reduce swine flu fatalities. Rather than informing readers, the MSM has made it a point to keep the people stupid, and in doing so, the media has failed its only mission and betrayed the very audience is claims to serve.

Interesting article.
It answers a lot of questions people have about the vaccines.

[quote]

Yes, I agree it is an interesting article, and one that should be recognized for what it is -- virtually an advertisement for natural health products.  It's not a news story.  

First, look where it's from -- a website that promotes natural health products.  And that's okay.  But it casts a shadow on any real sense of objectivity.

Second, while it purports to be objective, it's really based on a "I know someone who knows" basis.  And, it's very clearly another of those conspiracy articles.

Now, on to the specific points:

As to: "There are no adjuvants used in the [url="http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccines.html"]vaccines[/url]."  Based on my readings, the purpose of an adjuvant is not to "stretch" the vaccine supply, as the article says.  Instead:  "In [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunology"]immunology[/url], an adjuvant is an agent that may stimulate the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system"]immune system[/url] and increase the response to a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine"]vaccine[/url], without having any specific [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigen"]antigenic[/url] effect in itself. The word “adjuvant” comes from the Latin word adjuvare, meaning to help or aid.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunologic_adjuvant#cite_note-1"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunologic_a...ant#cite_note-1[/url][/sup] An immunologic adjuvant is defined as any substance that acts to accelerate, prolong, or enhance antigen-specific immune responses when used in combination with specific vaccine antigens."[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunologic_adjuvant#cite_note-2"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunologic_a...ant#cite_note-2[/url]  So, if they're in the vaccines, sounds like they improve the vaccines.

As to:  "The swine flu is more dangerous than seasonal flu."  Except for very early on during the spread of swine flue, it's been published almost daily that this was, for most people, a more mild flu than most we see on a seasonal basis.  However, it is far more dangerous for some people because it appears to settle far deeper in the lungs where it is more difficult to eradicate.  It particularly appears to be more dangerous for younger people with compromised immune systems.

As to:  "Vaccines protect you from swine flu."  Well, we have to wait and see.  But saying that you're 40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have your life saved by swine flu vaccine...you could say that about any medicine or medical procedure.  It's a dumb statement.  Oh, and by the way, who do they cite for that little gem of information?  They cite...themselves.  How convenient.

As to:  "Vaccines are safe."  They say that, "None of the vaccines have been subjected to real-world testing for any meaningful duration."  Actually, that is true.  They are being tested -- widely reported.  A network to report problems once the vaccines are released is being set up -- widely reported.  And the vaccine is being fast-tracked by several agencies, thus testing for safety will not be at the normal level -- also widely reported.  So where is the lie?  There is none.

As to:  "The vaccine isn't mandatory."  Well, at least not made mandatory by the federal government.  Yes, vaccines may be mandatory for a small number of clients in limited professions, such as health care.  I notice that they don't cite any of the employers who are mandating it.  Why?  And school teachers?  Well, that's my profession and although retired I am still in touch with a number of teachers in the States...they've heard nothing about such a plan.  Anywhere.

As to:  "Getting a vaccine shot is a good bet on your health."  Well, the whole point here is that the dangers of the vaccine may be greater than that of the disease.  We don't know that yet, although vaccines in recent decades have not proven to be very dangerous.  And yes, I am quite aware of a few exceptions that affected friends and family.  But, so far, in terms of the general public, it's still your choice whether or not to take the vaccine.  So, be well educated, then decide.

As to:  "The vaccine isn't made with "attenuated live virus".  I'm not sure.  So I'll watch more for this information.  However, many vaccines over the years have been made from attenuated live viruses.  That wouldn't necessarily preclude me from taking them.  I'd just have to learn more.

As to:  "Wash, wash, wash your hands (to avoid exposure)."  Here they actually say that the, "whole idea of avoiding exposure to the swine flu virus is nonsense."  So, I guess doctors shouldn't wash their hands before surgery, we shouldn't cover our mouths before coughing, and we shouldn't wash our hands after taking a crapper.  

As to:  "Children are more vulnerable to swine flu than adults."  This isn't exactly what I've read in the media.  I've read that those more likely to become ill are younger than a certain age, but that children are not specifically targeted.  If vaccines are being touted as being important for school children, it may be because of the way in which children interact in large group settings...like school.

As to:  "There is nothing else you can do beyond a vaccine and [url="http://www.naturalnews.com/Tamiflu.html"]Tamiflu."[/url][url="http://www.naturalnews.com/Tamiflu.html"]   [/url]Well, I haven't heard anyone say that.  I think most people agree that having a healthy immune system is worthwhile, that eating well is a good thing, that getting outdoors and getting exercise is something a person should do.

The author also says that, "Over the last few years, I've had a couple of job offers from large media outlets. They want to pay me a six-figure salary and stick me behind a desk where they can control what I report."  Okay.  That's called a job.  Someone hires you to do what they want you to do.

ChefHeat,

Sorry to disappoint you but large scale conspiracies never work for long. Some bugger with misplaced sense morality comes along and spoils the whole plot, look at Pfizer's record fine of $2.3bn, because of, all things, a whist blowing salesman!!!!. But then I expect that evidence is not something you worry about.

Perhaps you can share your expertise on:

AIDS and HIV,
the earth being round
and
the moon landings

At leased you did not try to explain that attenuation in vaccines does not work, because its evolution and conflicts with intelligent design.

No, you are absolutely wrong about this - and most of the other nonsense that you posted.  Injectable flu vaccines are made with dead viruses.

The latest information is that the death rate for the H1N1 strain is identical to seasonal flu.  Many TVers are convinced that the H1N1 flu is going to mutate - by next Wednesday, according to the latest rumors - making it even more dangerous.

The cited article is indeed inaccurate and misleading, not least in that it attributes to "MSM" ("mainstream medicine" which is not, in fact, a monolithic entity!) a number of "lies" which no reputable medical authority has ever said to begin with.

It has never been claimed that swine flu is more deadly than seasonal flu, in fact it has repeatedly been pointed out that its mortality rate is the same or lower. There is of course concern that it might mutate into a more deadly form, that applies to any flu.  Far from trying to spread panic, the statements I have seen released by public health authorities have stressed that this is so far no more deadly than any other flu and that there is no cause for panic.

No-one disputes the importance of a healthy immune system. The efficacy of many of the supplements/treatments sold  as alternative means of strengthening the immune system has been questioned, certainly, but not the basic idea nor the well established basics such as balanced nutritious diet, enough sleep, stress management etc.

A vacine for swine flu has not yet been approved or released so, obviously, no knowledgable person is claiming that people should be getting vaccinated now to prevent it. And it is premature to argue about the formulationm of a vaccine that is still under development.

Hand-washing can, indeed, prevent or reduce exposure to the virus. Studies have shown that respiratory illness transmitted by droplets are in fact not usually "breathed in" but rather contacted via the hands and hand-washing is, indeed, the most effective means of prevention. The severity of an illness is affected by the pathogen dose; thus, even if hand-washing does not totally prevent the illness it may result in a lower dose exposure and hence a milder illness. No-one is advocating washing hands "a hundred times a day", of course.
