VACCINATION TOXICITY, INFECTION AND SCIENCE
by Frank Hartman
The lack of understanding in medicine of colloid chemistry has
created a void that is not answered by the action of mercury.
The implications are far wider and deeper.
VACCINATION TOXICITY, INFECTION AND SCIENCE
by Frank
Hartman
The medical reviews in journals and on the web belittle the anti
vaccination sites as based only on emotion and anecdotal evidence.
The Anti Vaccination sites are dealing with results of toxicity without
understanding the method. There is no common ground for
understanding between the two sides.
What has not been understood is the method of action that can cause
vaccination toxicity. The following is a simplification of the
underlying cause, method of action and remedial measures to reduce
the damage with references.
1. The introduction of any bacteria or bacterial filtrate alive or
dead (vaccine) causes a reaction of the body that results in blood
clots from intense microbial action reducing zeta potential. These
clots may be small adhesions that attach to the blood vessels or
organs impairing their function or complete obstructions resulting
in organ death. They are particularly common in kidney, lung, liver and
brain.The introduction of radiopaque contrast
media used in medical diagnosis creates the same effect
(ref g)
This intravascular coagulation is readily apparent in an examination
of the blood vessels in the sclera (whites) of the eyes from vaccines
or other infections .
This is known as the Sarannelli/Schwartzman phenomena. There are
several hundred references to its occurrence in the National Library of
Medicine. It is called phenomena because the cause has not been
understood.
2. Intense microbial action (infection) or microbial agents cause a
reduction in zeta potential* which changes blood to "sludge"
3.The administration of more than one vaccine at a time multiplies
the effect increasing the amount of intravascular coagulation and
risk of blood clots.
4.The use of aluminum salts to stabilize vaccines exacerbates the
clotting effect by a multiple of 6000 times. (See explanation below)
5. In summation: infection whether by vaccine or other disease
agents lowers zeta potential causing clots. In a person with high zeta
potential of the blood, it may cause only local reduction and
aggravation. In other cases, it can result in micro capillary
clotting destroying or impairing organ function or death.
This accounts for the wide range of mental and emotional disorders
as well as physical reactions since the site of the clot is
unpredictable. The effect of the injection may start out as only an
adhesion and
through further reduction of zeta potential
may change to a clot or hemorrhage.
A simple change to a single vaccine at a time later in life not at
birth, eliminating aluminum salts and monitoring of the blood
vessels of the white of the eyes for intravascular coagulation would
greatly reduce risks of vaccinations. However due to environment and
aluminum accumulations, zeta potential tends to reduce with age. Thus
vaccinations of the elderly or those with severe intravascular
coagulation may reduce zeta potential close to the phase change
point so that even an emotional upset can trigger a clot.
Skin reactions can occur immediately and
continue for seven or eight years or may not appear until one to six
years later. The reason for the delayed effect is beyond the scope of
this paper
but also is a function of zeta potential.
ALUMINUM TOXICITY
There are over 7000 references to the toxicity of aluminum. See the
following URL far a small sampling of reported effects.and
documented toxicity and death from aluminum.

- toxic
for some of the documented effects of aluminum and vaccination.
Note
By making a flour water mixture and adding a drop of deodorant one
can
easily observe the coagulation effect of aluminum. The flour will
immediately clump and settle to the bottom.
As an alternative, rub oil on the arm and apply a small amount of
deodorant. The oil will immediately coagulate and roll up in little
balls. Aluminum is the primary ingredient in most antiperspirants
as
it causes sweat to coagulate and block the pores in sweat glands.
*ZETA POTENTIAL
* All trace minerals, metals, inorganic materials, proteins and
amino
acids are held in suspension in liquids as microscopic and
sub microscopic particles like dust particles in the air. These
very small particles are called colloids. Since colloids in
suspension
form chemical compounds like ions in solution, the
non-chemical/electricalproperties of colloids are generally not
understood in medicine.
This was not always the case. In the late 1930's, research and use
of colloids
resulted in the publication of a number of articles in medical
journals
pertaining to healing of conditions that are almost untreatable in
medicine today. The advent of World War 2 rationing system and
reduction of personnel and resources with the emphasis on trauma
medicine and antibiotics caused a loss of the information.
http://www.pe.net/~abilene/Readers.htm
Colloids are held in suspension via a very slight electro-negative
charge on the surface of each particle. This charge is called Zeta
Potential. The ability of a liquid to carry material in suspension
is a function of these minute electrical charges. As the
electro-negative charge increases; more material can be carried in
suspension.
As the charge decreases, the particles move closer to each other
and
the liquid is unable to carry the same amount of materials. Heavy
metals and calcium drop out first adhering to the wall vessel wall or
organ surface.
There is a point where the ability to carry material in suspension
is
becomes so low the small particles begin to clump together with the
heavier particles materials coagulating or attaching to the adjacent
surface first.
This phase change is quite similar to temperature variation in
water.
A 10 degree temperature drop in water has no significant effect at
70
degrees F, but a major effect at 35 degrees; so it is with
colloids in suspension. Each liquid suspension has a phase change
point where very
slight changes in the electro-negative charge can change liquid to
gel.
This discipline is known as Colloidal Chemistry, Physical
Chemistry, Surface Charge, or Zeta Potential. It is a mixture of
both
physics and chemistry. There is virtually no understanding in
medicine of this area of chemistry and no collod scientists that work
in the medical research.
Because of the narrowness of scientific disciplines, there is no
funding
available for this research nor would any existing journal publish
work
in this area as it is beyond the normal bounds of both disciplines.
The following table correlates negative charge reduction to degree
of clotting.
Stability of Solution Zeta Potential
From "Control of Colloidal Stability" by Thomas Riddick
Stability |
Average Zeta Potential
(In milli-volts) |
| Extreme to very good stability | -100 to -60mv |
| Reasonable stability | - 60 to -40 |
| Moderate stability | - 40 to -30 |
| Threshold of light dispersion | - 30 to -15 |
| Threshold of agglomeration | - 15 to -10 |
| Strong agglomeration and precipitation | - 5 to +5 |
The quantity of positive and negative charges from chemical
elements in suspension as colloids has a major effect on carrying capacity.
Electropositive ions decrease carrying capacity while
electronegative
ions increase it.
Elements with only one excess positive or one
negative ion have little effect on suspensions.
Elements with two positive or two negative ions (divalent) such as
magnesium and beryllium
(+2) oroxygen and selenium (-2) have 3,000 times more effect on
coagulation or dispersion than elements with single ions.
Elements with a valence of 3, such as Aluminum (+3) and nitrogen and
phosphorus (-3) have 6,000 times more effect on carrying capacity
than an element with a single positive or negative ion. A single colloid
of aluminum has massive clotting capability due to the three extra
positive charges.
Vaccinations contain aluminum salts which greatly exacerbate
coagulation.

Vaccination Toxicity
(Sanarelli/Schwartzman Phenomena)
... "Certain biological sequences for more than a hundred years
have
been recognized in the medical field as leading to morbidity and
mortality. The cause of these sequences has been little understood.
Before presenting these curves, we will briefly quote several
pertinent
passages from the first chapter of a book by Hans Sale (1966)
entitled":
Thrombohemmorragic Phenomena. (Courtesy Chas. C. Thomas,
Publisher.)
(1 Thrombohemmorragic, thromboses, thrombi -a clot in the
cardiovascular system formed during life which may block an artery
or heart wall or attach to the blood vessel without totally blocking it.)
"Certain microorganisms and even extracts prepared from them are
especially prone to produce thromboses and hemorrhages in the
micro circulation, particularly in the renal (kidney) glomeruli.
The Sanarelli phenomenon (is) induced by two properly spaced
intravenous injections of microbes or their products.
The Schwartzman phenomenon (is) induced by a "preparatory"
intracutaneous injection of bacterial filtrates followed after a
proper time interval by intravenous "provocation" with the same or
some similar material.
(2 Intracutaneous- Within the skin)
The Bordet phenomenon (is) the production of hemorrhages and
necroses by killed E. coli cultures in tuberculous (but not in
normal) guinea pigs.
More than a century ago the Russian investigator Botkin (1858)
discovered that, following application of irritating fluids to the
frog mesentery, the capillaries become maximally dilated and packed
with agglutinated erythrocytes so that the circulation stops.
These observations were confirmed and greatly extended by
Hueter (1874) who claimed that erythrocyte agglutination is caused by
toxic substances, many of which make the surface of the red blood
corpuscles irregular and adhesive. *
(Agglutinated erythrocytes- clotted red blood cells.)
Klebs (1876) apparently first observed multiple hyaline
thrombi in the smallest blood vessels in patients with extensive
burns. Then
Flexure (1902) noted that both bacterial and nonbacterial pathogens
can produce so-called "agglutinative thrombi" which appear to
consist
almost exclusively of conglutinated erythrocytes....
Subsequently, micro thromboses were seen in intravenous
administration
of foreign blood, snake venom, placental extracts and many other
substances.
Finally, Siegmund (1925) observed the development of minute fibrin
nodules attached to the walls of the small veins or the endocardium
in guinea pigs repeatedly infected with various microorganisms.
In the course of their classic studies on diphtheria, Roux and
Yersin (1888) found that single intravenous injections of diphtheria toxin
can produce multiple hemorrhages, particularly in the lung, kidney,
adrenal and heart of various experimental animals...
It became evident, furthermore, that even killed microbes or
microbial filtrates are active in this respect and that the
predominant localization of the Thrombohemmorragic lesions varies, depending
upon the type of pathogenic material used.
The kidney, lung, heart and adrenals are most commonly affected
but,under certain cirumstances, typical lesions may also be found
in the gastrointestinal tract or on the hairless parts of the animal
body.
In 1894, Sanarelli noticed that, in the monkey, a first injection
of typhoid toxin causes only transient manifestations of disease, but
if, two days later, a second injection of the same product is
administered, the animal dies with a generalized purpuric eruption.
In 1928, Schwartzman discovered that, if a rabbit is given a
B.typhus
filtrate intracutaneous, followed by the intravenous injection of the
same material 24 hours later, a hemorrhagic necrosis results at the
prepared skin site.
(Necrosis- Death of one or more cells or a portion of the tissue or
organ or the complete organ)
Paul Bordet (1931)...observed that a suspension of killed E.coli.
microorganisms, which is normally well tolerated by guinea
pigs, kills them with hemorrhages in the peritoneal lymph nodes, if
they have
received BCG vaccine intraperitonealy 2-3 weeks earlier. E. Coli
injected subcutaneously into guinea pigs thus prepared, produced
topical hemorrhages with necroses.
Live microbes and microbial products (filtrates, extracts) occupy a
particularly important place among the agents capable of eliciting
the thrombohemmorragic phenomenon.
It has long been known that thrombohemmorragic phenomena can be
produced by spontaneous or experimental infections, as well as by
treatment with bacterial filtrates and extracts. The endotoxins of
Gram
negative bacteria proved to be especially effective in this
respect.
Both local thrombohemmorragic reactions at the injection site, and
generalized manifestations of the thrombohemmorragic phenomenon
(including thrombi in the renal glomerular capillaries, lung, liver
and other organs) can be produced in this manner either by single or
by variably spaced, repeated injections of suitable microbial
products."
"In summation, Selye's thesis is that a microbial culture of dead or
alive filtrates of such cultures result in thrombosis (or
hemorrhage) when they are suitably and in proper sequence injected
into test animals.
The writer holds that the Sanarelli and Schwartzman "phenomena"
are no
longer phenomena but instead are simple, straightforward,
thoroughgoing manifestations of a natural law. And this law is
delineated by fundamental principles of Zeta Potential.
This physiochemical sequence is encountered so often and in so
many different forms that it virtually constitutes a rule: The end
result
of vigorous and sustained microbial activity on any aqueous
(including blood, kidney and lymph) colloid system is a lowering of
Zeta Potential. This lowering leads to agglomeration resulting in
sedimentation.
One may paraphrase and apply this to Sanarelli / Schwartzman
thus....
Appropriate injections into a test animal of the end product of
vigorous and sustained microbial activity leads to a lowering of
Zeta
Potential which leads to agglomeration and thrombus formation; and
thrombosis;
and disseminated intravascular coagulation then results in death.
This physiological sequence is of the greatest biological
importance
..and it can only be considered fantastic that thus far this facet
of nature has not been properly regarded, understood, accepted or
employed
in the evaluation of and alleviation of disease."

Smallpox vaccine better, tests indicate
Improved version appears not to carry risk of encephalitis
By Bill Scanlon, Rocky Mountain News
November 15, 2002
The smallpox vaccine being readied for the American population in case of a
bioterrorism attack is less
likely to cause encephalitis and other major complications than earlier
vaccines, animal tests indicate.
"Our vaccine should be safer," said Thomas Monath, chief science officer at
Cambridge, Mass.-based Acambis, which won a
government contract to produce 195 million doses.
Acambis officials described the vaccine, ACAM 1000, to the annual meeting
of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene
in Denver on Thursday.
Acambis bases its vaccine on the old, reliable New York Health Department
smallpox vaccine, Dryvax - which many baby boomers
received as children - except the new vaccine is produced in a cell
culture, not in calfskin.
ACAM 1000 will be a seventh-generation clone of Dryvax, purified, filtered
and tested against the presence of numerous other
accidental viruses.
The goal is to create a vaccine similar to Dryvax, with its reliability,
but with much fewer complications.
One side effect of Dryvax was that it caused encephalitis, a serious
swelling in the brain, in about three of every 1 million Americans
vaccinated.
In recent tests, Acambis scientists injected the old and new vaccine into
the brains of mice. Three of the six mice injected with the
old Dryvax died, but none of the six injected with the new ACAM 1000 died,
Monath said.
"There's no way to tell for sure until you've tested a lot of human
subjects," Monath said. "But with previous smallpox vaccines,
complications in humans closely mimicked complications in animals."
Animals also were less likely to develop edema or meningitis with the new
vaccine, he said.
The vaccine is from a live virus, so it still poses a small risk. Vaccines
could be made safer - such as using just the DNA of the virus
- but their effectiveness has been disappointing.
The world's scientists thought they had rid the globe of smallpox in the
1970s when the last of the outbreaks were squelched by
vaccines.
But Americans were shocked in 1998 when a Russian defector said his country
had weaponized smallpox. Now, the world's leaders
worry that ruble-starved Russian scientists may have sold some of that
weaponized smallpox to regimes such as Iraq or to terrorists.
Symptoms of smallpox, one of history's deadliest diseases, include fever,
headache, diarrhea, a rash that turns to lesions, excessive
bleeding and delirium.
The Bush administration is considering whether to call on all Americans to
be vaccinated before a smallpox bioterrorism attack or to
stockpile the vaccine and deliver it on hours notice to the site of an
outbreak.
If they choose the latter, there are about a dozen sites around the country
that will store "push packages" of vaccine ready to arrive
anywhere in the United States within 12 hours.
Within 24 or 36 hours, the National Pharmacy Stockpile would deliver more
of the specific vaccine to the outbreak site.
The vaccine triggers antibodies that take a few days to develop and protect
the body against smallpox. The virus itself takes a couple
of weeks to be symptomatic, so public health officials think that
inoculating people even four days after an outbreak would offer some
protection.
In Colorado and elsewhere, local health departments would administer the
vaccines.
The federal government this year awarded slightly more than $1 billion to
health departments and hospitals to boost bioterrorism
preparedness.The United States was uninterested in the bioterrorism risk
until the late 1990s, when President Clinton read a novel
about bioterrorism, said Jim Hughes, director of the National Center of
Infectious Diseases.
Clinton pushed for a smallpox vaccine, but only small companies, such as
Acambis, bid on the project because money was lacking. It
wasn't until after Sept. 11 that bioterrorism became a national security
issue, and with that came the money that spurred the large
pharmaceutical companies to get involved.
Acambis joined with pharmaceutical giant Baxter when the federal government
asked for another 155 million doses. Acambis' vaccine
should be ready to use sometime next year, Monath said. Total cost: about
$650 million.

Government and Drug Industry Collusion

Sandpoint, ID —There's more to the current smallpox fright
than meets the eye according to public health authority, Dr. Leonard Horowitz.
Cipro, anthrax vaccine, and the current smallpox vaccine "sales campaigns
" were
planned years before the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America. The only realistic
explanation, he argues, involves government and drug industry
collusion.
The parent companies that produce these favored elixirs for
anthrax and smallpox bioterrorism are linked, strangely enough, to an infamous
history involving contaminated blood, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and
even the Nazis of World War II, according to the research findings of this
Harvard graduate and independent investigator. These historic, well documented,
associations Dr. Horowitz says, seem to be tabooed subject matter for even
the
F.B.I. whose investigators he hounded for six months before they finally
consulted with him regarding the mysterious anthrax mailings. The doctor's
warning to the bureau regarding a developing "anthrax scam" came one week before
the first mailings were announced by the press.
CIPRO, Dr. Horowitz
recalls, is produced by Germany's Bayer AG, while the smallpox vaccine's newly
formed producer is the British firm Acambis (previously OraVax), owned by
Aventis—created in 1999 by parent companies Hoechst and Rhone-Poulenc. The Merck
pharmaceutical company, recipient of a large share of the Nazi war chest at
the
end of WWII, is are partnered with these entitites in Europe and thus involved
in the smallpox and West Nile Virus vaccine trade. The only other smallpox
and
West Nile Virus vaccine producer is Baxter Corporation, a subsidiary of American
Home Products—another direct progeny of the decartelized German drug and
chemical combine known as I.G. Farben. All have jaded, if not blatant genocidal,
histories.
Bayer, Baxter, and Rhone-Poulenc are infamously known for
having infected more than 7,000 American hemophiliacs with the AIDS virus during
the early 1980s. They admitted foreknowledge in selling HIV-tainted blood
clotting products and settled the class action case for $100,000 per
claimant.(1)
Bayer and Hoechst were formed following World War II from
the "decartelization" of Germany's leading industrial organization and Nazi
economic engine—I.G. Farben. The CIA immediately took over their vacated
corporate headquarters which had curiously escaped allied bombings. Historians
explain that the Farben complex had been protected by officials of John D.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company—half owner of the Farben cartel. Many believe
that Rockefeller lawyer and Standard Oil business manager, Allen Dulles, among
the CIA's first directors, military-command-protected Farben headquarters
from
allied bombings. In the current age when past CIA Director James Woolsey
lectures on "industrial espionage" as a primary function of modern intelligence
organizations, this history portends serious ramifications, particularly
in-so-far-as America's "New War on Terrorism" is concerned.
So
on after
the CIA formed, Bayer and Hoechst were reorganized in 1951 under the direct
ion
of the Allied High Commission, largely influenced by U.S. High Commissioner
John
J. McCloy—a lawyer and banker from Philadelphia, with intimate ties to
Rockefeller banking and oil interests. After "decartelization," the I.G. Farben
plants, including all the labor camps involved in the mostly Jewish genocide
were consolidated into three main holding companies: Bayer, Hoechst, and BA
SF
for the benefit of all the stockholders.
Hermann Schmitz, president
of
Bayer A.G and I.G. Farben during WWII, who also largely directed the Deutsche
Bank, "held as much stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey as did the
Rockefellers," according to former CBS News war correspondent Paul Mannin
g.
Acknowledging CIA director Dulles for his information, Manning reported that on
August 10, 1944, the Rockefeller-Farben partners moved their "flight capital"
through affiliated German/French, American, British and Swiss banks "for
the new
Germany." This secured "the sophisticated distribution of national and
corporate
assets to safe havens" throughout the world, and assured the continuation
and
further development of the "Neuordnung" (new order or "New World Order") for
both the global petrochemical pharmaceutical industry and banking
cartels.(2)
More recent revelations exposing the Bush family's
involvement in this Euro-American conspiracy, and war economy profiteering,
were
advanced by John Loftus, a former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi War Crimes
prosecutor, and the President of the Florida Holocaust Museum. Attorney Loftus
is also the co-author of The Secret War Against the Jews, and has published
extensively on the Bush-Rockefeller-Nazi political and economic connections
.
Quoting from Loftus:
The Bushes knew perfectly well that Brown Brothers
was the American money channel into Nazi Germany, and that Union Bank was the
secret pipeline to bring the Nazi money back to America from Holland. The Bushes
had to have known how the secret money circuit worked because they were on
the
board of directors in both directions: Brown Brothers out, Union Bank in. .
.
Moreover, the size of their compensation [was] commensurate with their risk
as
Nazi money launderers. . . The bottom line is harsh: It is bad enough that
the
Bush family helped raise the money for [Fritz] Thyssen [arguably Germany's
wealthiest industrialist] to give Hitler his start in the 1920's, but giving aid
and comfort to the enemy in time of war is treason." (For Loftus's complete
report go to:
http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/new_world_order/bush_nazis.html)
Given this
generally unknown history, is it surprising that Bush administration Secretary
of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Tommy Thompson, and other
Bush cabinet members met secretly (that is, illegally) with officials of the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) to develop plans
for their Emergency Preparedness Task Force? The group is said to have prepared
enough drugs and vaccines to protect every American against the threats of
anthrax and smallpox. PhRMA task force officials, directed by Aventis executive
Richard Markham, and representing a number of other Farben-Rockefeller progeny
and beneficiaries including American Home Products, Abbott Laboratories, Merck,
Pfizer, and more, according to the New York Times (Nov. 4, 2001), have met
regularly with Bush cabinet members. According to Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, a
director at Ralph Nader's public Citizen Health Research Group, the meetings
violated a federal law for transparency of such decision-making
committees.(3)
Apparent illegalities did not deter Secretary Thompson
from ordering more than $100 million worth of CIRPO from Bayer at the "bargain
price" of $.90 per tablet, when other companies offered equally effective
and
lower risk substitutes for a few pennies each, and then for free. No one ever
questioned the unprecedented FDA selection of this single, largely untested,
extraordinarily expensive, antibiotic called CIPRO for anthrax. Incredibly,
according to the Physician's Desk Reference and American Medical Association,
the drug is contraindicated for conditions resulting in pneumonia, which is
how
anthrax kills. The end result of this "scam" was predictable. By January 2002,
after more than 32,000 people in Metropolis (i.e., Washington to Boston)
consumed CIPRO in the wake of the anthrax mailings, thousands had become
seriously ill, many died, as a result. This death toll has never been counted in
assessing the damage brought about by the mailings.
On October 25, 2001,
health czar Thompson also asked Congress for another $500 million to order
enough of Acambis's smallpox vaccine "so every American will be assured
there is
a dose with his or her name on it if it is needed," even though CDC officials
admitted that people already vaccinated probably be revaccinated, and the new
remedy would require extensive testing.(4,5)
CDC officials met on June 8,
2002 to discuss the ramifications of mass smallpox vaccinations. At this meeting
in St. Louis, Dr. Joel Kuritsy, the CDC's director of Preparedness and Early
Smallpox Response Activity, stated that "smallpox is not explosively
contagious," and not suited for use as a biological weapon since its
person-to-person spread depends on "droplet contamination." Since "coughing and
sneezing are not part of the disease," he noted, the disease is "transmitted
slowly and only after prolonged, direct, face-to-face contact." He additionally
clarified "prolonged contact" to mean "more than 7 days," and "face-to-face" to
mean "contact that is within 6-7 feet."(6)
"The scenario in which a
terrorist infects himself and walks through a city spreading the disease just
wouldn't happen, even in population-dense areas," Dr. Kuritsky explained. "In
the 1970s, we were able to control the spread of the infection even in highly
dense settings such as India and Bangladesh," using standard means of prevention
and treatment other than mass smallpox vaccination. In fact, experts have
unanimously cited isolation, ideally in the comfort of one's own home under care
by family members who use standard infection control (OSHA) methods and
materials (such as safe waste disposal, gloves and masks, and surface
disinfectants) as the best way to arrest a smallpox outbreak. One would never
know this according to the media propaganda surrounding the smallpox and anthrax
frights.(6)
On September 24, 2002, the day the Bush administration
announced its national smallpox vaccination plan, William Broad of the New
York
Times covered the drawbacks of this operational program. "The new guidelines for
states on mass smallpox vaccinations are most notable for what was omitted,
" he
wrote. Omissions included "unanswered and often unaddressed questions like
timing, costs, feasibility and multiple problems of preparing health care
workers to conduct vaccinations, [and] communicating the plans to the public."
Broad neglected to mention the varied and even severe side effects of smallpox
vaccination—another taboo subject. Apparently, the Bush administration, with its
secreted links to the pharmaceutical industry, feels that they can simply
neglect the experimental and risky nature of smallpox vaccinations by requiring
"informed consent" statements be signed by recipients. This, of course,
places
the burden(s) of harmful, and even fatal, outcomes entirely on the shoulders its
victims—the mass vaccinated American public.(7)
Meanwhile, smallpox
vaccine maker Acambis's sudden suspicious evolution from OraVax Corporation has
left few suitably outraged.(8) The OraVax firm had been likewise linked to
shady
backroom dealings with Clinton administration officials in 1998 regarding
government orders for a yet to be tested West Nile Virus vaccine. Dr. Horow
provided extensive details in this regard in Death in the Air: Globalism,
Terrorism and Toxic Warfare (Tetrahedron Publishing Group; 1-888-508-4787).
His
prophetically-titled book was published three months before the 9-11 terrorist
attacks. The text explained that the West Nile virus and smallpox vaccine deals
evolved from a stealth meeting between Dr. Thomas Monath, the Vice President of
OraVax (now Acambis/Aventis), President Clinton, Janet Reno, CIA Director John
Deutsch, and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) curator Dr. Joshua
Lederberg, a former Rockefeller University President and Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) bioterrorism study group leader. The CFR is well known to be
among the most politically influential organizations in America, if not the
world.(9)
According to the U.S. Congressional Record, the "official
meeting" to discuss what had already been predetermined regarding the
government's nearly half-billion dollar smallpox, anthrax, and West Nile
virus
vaccine purchases took place before a joint meeting of the Senate Veterans
Affairs Committee and the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services,
Education, and Related Agencies of the Senate Appropriations Committee, on
March
16, 1999. Here, the sole American anthrax vaccine maker—British-owned BioPort
Corporation—sent representation in the person of scientific director, Dr.
Robert
C. Myers. The vaccine industrialist, referencing his work with the Battelle
Memorial Institute—the CIA contractor for project "Clearvision" under
which the
hyper-concentrated anthrax weapon that was later mailed was initially
developed—testified concerning the urgent need to stockpile both the anthrax and
smallpox vaccines. Given the earlier official assessment of smallpox's less than
optimal use as a biological weapon, Myer's precise manipulative words to
senators included:
BioPort manufactures the only FDA-licensed anthrax
vaccine in the world. We are also making and testing vaccine . . . to protect
against five different types of botulism, . . . It is probably next on the
threat list behind anthrax and the rapidly emerging threat of smallpox. . .
.
[B]ecause smallpox is highly contagious and probably most of the world is now
susceptible, it is a potential biowarfare agent of serious concern. . . . There
exist similar challenges to the further development and manufacture of new
vaccines for anthrax, smallpox, and, for that matter, any other biodefense
vaccine. . . . Suppose we have a smallpox vaccine stockpile and a manufacturing
capability. Suppose a terrorist group has smallpox as a weapon. . . . there
should be two or more geographically separate manufacturing facilities and
two
or more facilities for storage of the manufactured
vaccine.(10)
It might be asked, how Dr. Myer's derived his
assessment that smallpox was a "rapidly emerging threat?" The fact is,
smallpox
had been eradicated from the planet decades ago. It was not officially
considered a very good biological weapon as Dr. Kuritsky explained. It was
widely known that the only remaining stores of smallpox were in Russian and
American military–pharmaceutical labs. So aside from using a crystal ball
, Dr.
Myer's statement implies he was privy, as an "inside trader/traitor"
might be,
to a conspiracy to either release the germ from these labs or simply create
a
fright in this regard. Suffice it to say, the current fright, predicted three
years earlier by Dr. Myers and his vaccine industry cohorts, significantly
influenced the purchase and rapid consumption of his company's
products.
It should also be questioned, "Why, with more than two dozen
potential biological weapons in the arsenals of the super-powers and "terrorist
states," would America be simply focused on two such threats—anthrax and
smallpox?"
For any intelligent rational person, if this smells like a
skunk, it is most likely a skunk. This entire smallpox "scam" as Dr. Horowitz
prefers to call it, represents a classic example of what he calls "white collar
bioterrorism, reflecting on standard Machiavellian theory in practice. That
is,
inside traders create the problems for which they have already prepared
profitable solutions."
Currently, what concerns Dr. Horowitz most
is that
these same dirty dealings and industrial powers are involved in the Bush
administration's justification to wage its ongoing war on terrorism, and
invade
Iraq later this Fall. Dr. Horowitz notes powerful Rockefeller interests
represented by Dr. Lederberg's presence among the inside traders who had
met
with Clinton administration officials in 1997. This Rockefeller and ATCC
administrators had falsely assured the American public that no biological
weapons were used during the Gulf War despite his knowledge that the ATCC,
under
his watch, sent nineteen shipments of various strains of anthrax, suitable
for
weapons production, to Saddam Hussein in the years leading up to Desert Storm.
The U.S. Congress' Don Reigle investigation concerning biological and chemical
weapons used during the Gulf War exposed this fact. Their report cited the
ATCC
as commercially supplying Iraq with anthrax. Other biological weapons were
shipped from the United States to Iraqi labs, including two shipments of the
West Nile Virus in 1985.(11) So much for the accuracy in main stream media's
reporting of the sudden "first time" north American arrival of the West Nile
Virus in 1999!
Regarding last Fall's anthrax mailings, in defense of the
ATCC, its vice president, Nancy Wysocki, said, "We have a very close working
relationship with many of the federal agencies, including the F.B.I."(12) This
might best explain why the FBI's investigation of the anthrax mailings has
stalled.
Dr. Horowitz, in fact, hand delivered a memo to his regional
F.B.I. office on October 1, 2001, almost two weeks before the first anthrax
letter was sent from Trenton, New Jersey to the American media building in Boca
Raton, Florida. His action was prompted by reading, The Final Report—the
Oklahoma City bombing grand jury investigation commissioned study by then State
Representative Charles Key. It stated that German-based neo-Nazi's were known to
have "masterminded" both airline hijackings and U.S. military installation
bombings by the PLO. This matched what the F.B.I. reported, and what Dr.
Horowitz knew about the German-based Bayer Corporation. The news reinforced his
concerns about the Nazi-German connection to what was obviously a "CIPRO sales
scam" linked to the anthrax mailings.(4)
The F.B.I. also reported that
the silica-mixed anthrax powder required expensive equipment, as well as a
bioweapons savvy microbiologist, to produce. They had ruled out Islamic
terrorist groups, but not "state-sponsored" crimes. This likewise suggested to
Dr. Horowitz a "white collar" crime involving drug companies most likely to
benefit from the mailings and ensuing fright.(12)
Then the New York
Times (November 11, 2001) reported that F.B.I. agents were denied access to
"some pharmaceutical companies in New Jersey." These ill-defined companies
demanded "agents to present a subpoena before they would grant access to
their
files."(12) Dr. Horowitz found this additionally suspicious, if not seriously
incriminating, especially since smallpox vaccine maker Aventis, his primary
suspect, had two plants within forty-five minutes drive from Trenton.
"I
should think that any company with nothing to hide would welcome the bureau's
inquiry especially at this time of dire national urgency," Dr. Horowitz's
aid. To
him the drug firms' response "exhibited a Gestapo-like attitude."
"I've
repeatedly asked the F.B.I. to thoroughly investigate the possibility of an
industrial conspiracy in regard to this year's threats of bioterrorism and mass
vaccination. I've urged an inquiry into ATCC curator Dr. Joshua Lederberg
, and
the financial interests he represents, including Rockefeller pharmaceutical
and
banking interests," Dr. Horowitz said. "According to every expert, terrorism is
always conducted to express a political motive. When you consider the targets of
the anthrax mailers—the mainstream media and two Democratic senators who
have
vigorously opposed the Bush administration's appointements and big business
efforts—a most plausible motive appears: frighten the public, along with
legislators, to support a long-time-evolving agenda that includes drug and
vaccine racketeering."
"The trouble is," Dr. Horowitz concluded,
"Elliott Ness and dependable federal agents are long gone. This level of
investigation may be impossible for the F.B.I. to adequately conduct, especially
given the level of corruption and the Bush administration's recent bureaucratic
shuffle for heightened "homeland [in]security."
That is probably why Dr.
Horowitz has made little headway in his efforts to direct the F.B.I. where he
believes the evidence has suggested they go. "The president, and his highest
level cabinet officials are implicated in this—a conspiracy that is most
reasonably," he said, "a deadly pharmaceutical sales scam."

Should children be tested with Dryvax smallpox vaccine?
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002
From: "Susan Pearce" [Wyoming Vaccination Liberation]
The FDA is soliciting public review and comments about whether or not
children should be tested with the Dryvax smallpox vaccine. I'll include
my comment here. In fact, I'll include some of my favorites that I read
that other people wrote.
The NVIC notice that led me to comment is at the bottom. Most
comments were pretty short. I would say about 95% or more of the
comments were against children being tested with it.
Susan Pearce
This one on top is mine.
I am against a study of smallpox vaccine on children, or on anyone. Some
good reasons we are heading in the wrong direction in this regard are
below.
1. The authors of a study published in 1980 by "Mutation Research" came to
the conclusion that smallpox vaccination has a "mutagenic effect" on human
chromosomes. [Neil Z. Miller's 1999 book Vaccines: Are They Really Safe
and Effective?, p. 46] "Viruses and viral vaccines are agents for the
transfer of genetic imprints from one host to another. In other words,
because they contain pure genetic material (DNA and RNA) from a foreign
organism, once injected into a human recipient, the new genetic material is
incorporated into the invaded cells." [Miller, p. 48] In the 1960s, Joshua
Lederberg, Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, said
that "live viruses are ... genetic messages used for the purpose of
programming human cells". Lederberg said that "we already practice
biological engineering on a rather large scale by use of live viruses in
mass immunization campaigns." [Miller, p.49] "No one knows the long-term
effects of tampering with the genetic codes and delicate structure of the
human organism. However, the physical invasion of the human body by
foreign genetic material may have the immediate effect of permanently weakening the
immune system, setting in motion a new era of autoimmune diseases. For
example, research indicates that psychotic disorders may be caused by viral
infections. The incidence of schizophrenia is on the rise compared to
earlier times, and studies now indicate that about one-third of all cases
are autoimmune in nature. Once again, some authorities implicate the
childhood vaccine programs." [Miller, p. 49]
2. Bismarck, Germany's Chancellor 131 years ago, stated after there were
124,948 deaths in highly vaccinated people (96%), "the hopes placed in the
efficacy of the cowpox virus as preventative of smallpox have proved
entirely deceptive". [Isaac Golden's 1998 book Vaccination? A Review of
Risks and Alternatives, p. 89]
3. Charles Campbell, M.D., of San Antonio, TX, a century ago, found that
the bedbug is the carrier of smallpox and that if the premises are kept
free
of that insect, smallpox will not spread to persons living with the
patient.
He said that this was the case in all stages of the disease. His
experiments showed that the commonly held belief that smallpox is an
airborne disease is not true. He also found that fomites (bedding,
clothing, hangings) are not contagious, as long as they are free of the
bedbug. He also said that smallpox is a disease of people in poor health
due to lack of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables.
http://www.reformation.org/foreword.html
http://www.reformation.org/variola.html
http://www.reformation.org/bedbugs.html
Type smallpox bedbug into your Google or other search engine to see an
article about the smallpox bedbug connection. Although such a connection
was not commonly known, there is an interesting story about it from about
1914. The people involved probably were not aware of the connection,
either, but I think you'll enjoy reading it.
4. Pure water, Vitamin C, raw fruits, raw vegetables, and their juices are
what is needed to have a strong enough immune system to be able to safely
get through smallpox without any lasting effects, such as scarring or
pitting of the sores.
5. Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano tells how to cure smallpox and how not to
do it at
http://www.rense.com/general31/pox.htm. Dr. Vetrano takes you
through
all the stages of the disease, telling you what is the cause behind every
single part of it. She tells what to do to get through it safely. She
also
knows what NOT to do in the care and treatment of the patient. It was
written November 2, 2002, and is one of the most important articles you can
read about this.
6. Sherri Tenpenny, D.O., knows what you can do in a smallpox outbreak.
Her very informative article was written soon after the June 20, 2002,
Center for Disease Control meeting of the Advisory Committee for
Immunization Practices (ACIP). It can be found at
http://www.whale.to/a/tenpenny2.html. We are so lucky that someone of her
stature was willing to take the time to write about that meeting because
two
weeks had passed and the media had not reported on that historic event.
She wanted people to read her report so they would have the proper
perspective on smallpox so that if there is an outbreak, they would see
that there is NO NEED TO PANIC.

I believe that the best children to try the new vaccine on would be the
children of the people who develop/market the vaccine. Only a small group
is
needed,the issue of *informed consent* would be fully satisfied,and it
would
be an ideal situation,because the child would be able to be closely
observed
first hand for signs of any side effects. In fact,I believe that ALL new
vaccines should first be tried on the children of the officers of the
company who develop/manufacture/market the product.The children of the
people who lobby Congress to get the vaccine mandated for universal use
should also be included in the trials. Then,once *they* are completely
satisfied that it is safe,once they have not observed any untoward
reactions
in their own children/grandchildren,then and only then could they ethically
recommend the use of that particular vaccine for other children.
Ms. Susan Kreider Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Health
Professional #97
Do NOT use children as guinea pigs to test safety and efficacy of this 40
year old vaccine based on 18th century technology. As a direct result of
all
the other vaccines you have permitted them to be contaminated with, our
children now have more immune deficiencies and chronic illnesses as
compared
to children who received this vaccine 30 years ago. Even assuming the
vaccine is safe, why would you suppose a terrorist would choose to unleash
a
virus against which our people have been vaccinated, when they have many
other biological agents to choose from? If the terrorist can weaponize it,
then they can also bioengineer to alter it. If you do go through with this,
I predict a widespread lack of public trust and outcry that will far
surpass
the Swine Flu fiasco of 1976. Then you'll have on your hands a whole lot of
kiddie and so-called 'adult formulae' (meaning mercury-laden) vaccines that
you won't be able to peddle to anybody. ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Dr. Sara Klein Health Professional #55
I strongly DISAGREE with the rationale and the morality and ethical issues
of this study. A. You don't use children as guinea pigs for a live virus
that already has been shown to cause damage. B. Fear of bioterrorism is the
(supposed) reason for this study. Fear based, hasty thinking has always
produced more damage than the object of that fear... C. There are several
well proven (though not 'double blind'...) modes of preventing Small Pox
other than injecting yet more viruses into children. D. No 'Informed
Consent' on the part of the parents sacrificing their kids for this
experiment will really be informed, as the FDA is not informed enough about
this vaccine. Listen to the public, the rational and not fear-based public,
that is. Sara
Dr. Yvonne Villanueva-Russell Texas A&M University-Commerce Academic
#48
I strongly oppose this study as the risks to young children far away any
supposed benefits. If smallpox were a deadly disease with no known cure,
and
one that absolutely no one could survive after having contracted it, and if
the threat of smallpox were imminent (and more serious than a veiled
attempt
to manipulate the public's view of terrorism and create support for a
politically motivated agenda, then I might be more persuaded to condone a
study of this nature. Unfortunately, this is another in a horrid history of
medicine where the poor, the powerless, and the not-fully educated (via
informed consent) are victimized, experimented upon and used a guinea pigs
in the name of science.

Dose
Response Study of the Safety, Clinical and Immune Responses of Dryvax
Administered to Children 2 to 5 Years of Age
Reference, the four questions
you wish comments on:
(1) What are the potential benefits of the research,
if any, to the subjects and to children in general;
(2) what are the types
and degrees of risk that this research presents to the subjects;
(3) are
the
risks to the subjects reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits,
if
any, to the subjects, and the importance of the knowledge that may
reasonably be expected to result; and
(4) does the research present a
reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention, or
alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of
children?
Comment on question 1: Little benefits are expected for the study
subjects. However, the potential benefits for children in general can be
obtained only by proving or disproving one or more of the assumptions which
underlie the study.
The following assumptions are widely believed, but have
never been proven by double blind, placebo controlled studies. There is
considerable evidence to call each one of these assumptions into doubt.
Assumption: vaccine is the primary, if not the only, protection against
smallpox.
Assumption: milkmaids were protected from smallpox by exposure to
cows sick with cowpox.
Assumption: smallpox is a random striking disease
caused by a virus.
Assumption: smallpox is a highly contagious disease.
Assumption: smallpox is a highly dangerous/severe disease.
Assumption:
'scarification' following vaccination is an adequate guide to smallpox
immunity.
Assumption: antibody count following vaccination is an adequate
guide to smallpox immunity.
Assumption: smallpox would make a nearly ideal
bioterrorist weapon.
Assumption: the population of the USA has little or no
current immunity to smallpox.
In response to these assumptions, consider
the
following:
A. The near disappearance of smallpox incidence, occurred
simultaneously with several co-factors:
sanitary and water purity reforms,
improvements in nutritional factors, reforms in hygiene, improved
transportation, moving from animal power to mechanical power, medical
reforms, and of course vaccination.
B. In 1800, when Jennier introduced the
vaccination procedure, milkmaids were said to be largely immune to
smallpox.
At what age did milkmaids become employed? What protected the milk maids
before exposure to diseased cows? What really protected the milk maids
after
exposure to diseased cows?
It should be remembered that smallpox was not a
random disease but occurred with the highest rates in those who lived in
slums where poverty, filth, malnutrition and overcrowding were greatest.
Medium smallpox rates occurred in the greater metropolitan areas. The least
numbers of people affected by smallpox were dwellers in rural countryside
and small villages. These low rates were probably due to relatively less
polluted water, greater home to waste seperation, quicker transportation of
vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products from farm to rural table versus
the long transit time from farm to city tables. So it was not only dairy
maids who enjoyed low smallpox rates but most individuals who lived in
rural
and small town environments. The primary cause of smallpox is not virus but
filth. The severity of smallpox is related to three primary factors: the
amount of toxicity within the body, the nutritional status of the body and
the treatment given the patient. Under conditions of sanitation and
nutrition such as enjoyed today, smallpox would be mild in most of the rare
cases of development.
C. Large smallpox epidemics occurred in highly
vaccinated populations. No large smallpox epidemics have occurred in highly
sanitary populations which have good nutrition.
D. Less than 10 percent of
children in developing countries were vaccinated in the WHO smallpox
eradication campaign.
E. Records do exist of smallpox scabs covering
smallpox vaccine scars to the point where it was impossible to determine if
an individual had been vaccinated. No study ever proved that 'antibodies'
correspond to long term smallpox immunity.
F. When both sanitation and
nutrition are common, all contagious diseases, including smallpox, become
less frequent and more mild.
Given the facts listed above, the protocol of
any smallpox study needs to give scientific answers to the following
questions:
Was smallpox vaccine a significant factor in the control of
smallpox?
Did smallpox vaccine produce a significant increase in immunity
versus the immunity conferred by sanitation, nutrition and hygiene?
Was
scarrification and/or smallpox 'antibodies' adequate indications of
smallpox
immunity?
In a modern society, is smallpox either highly contagious or a
severe disease?
Does smallpox truly provide a near ideal bioterrorist
weapon
or is it only a weapon of terror not destruction?
Is immunity to smallpox
in
the general population of the USA low or actually quite high?
There is
sufficient information to justify stating that vaccine had little or no
impact on the declining incidence of smallpox. Smallpox is not highly
contagious, or greatly severe (in a society with adequate sanitation and
nutrition) and would make an extremely poor biowarfare weapon. The US
population currently has an extremely high percentage of individuals who
are
immune to smallpox.
The Dryvax vaccine has been classified as a IND,
Investigational New Drug. This classification needs to taken very
seriously,
literally and the study protocol should be based on the concept that we
need
adequate, valid and scientific procedures to answer the basic questions
outlined above. The current protocol will not answer any of the above
questions. Further, the testing protocol relies on assumptions which have
been brought into serious doubt. Many of the statements made in both the
application and 'informed consent form' for parents makes statements which
are 'sales concepts' but have no place in a scientific document.
Comment on
question 2:
Potential side effects include those in the Dryvax Package
Insert. And also include potential weakening of the immune system as well
as
adding a burden to the total body health which will increase chronic
diseases. Long term adverse effects can range from an increase in cancers
and chronic fatigue to a host of other known and unknown side effects.
If there is no smallpox disease, either natural or
due to biowarfare, then the vaccine can not be of benefit. If the smallpox
vaccine does little or nothing to immunize against smallpox then the
adverse
side effects will greatly outweigh the questionable benefits even if there
is an attempt to reintroduce smallpox.
If we take the attitude that
sanitation, nutrition and hygiene are the key factors to immunity to
smallpox, the vaccine is unnecessary even in the event of an attempted
bioterrist attack using smallpox or similar virus. A large amount of data
on
historical smallpox incidence and the failure of vaccine to prevent
epidemics proves there is NO justification for any large scale vaccination
campaign. Given these facts, it is certain that the vaccine will prove to
be
a detriment to individuals and to public health in any modern setting.
comment on question 4:
The protocol of the present study is designed to
answer only the questions of scarification, antibody production, and
superficial 'safety' in a small and healthy population. Clinical
effectiveness will be impossible to test much less prove. Serious
underlying
flaws in the study protocol allow assumptions to go untested and even
unquestioned. It is likely that this small number of healthy children will
be used to create a smokescreen of seeming positive results for both
effectiveness and safety, neither of which will be adequately tested. The
reality is that this vaccine is not needed, is not effective and can not be
anything approaching safe. Since the study is not designed to either prove
or disprove the above contention or any of the underlying assumptions, it
is
clearly unethical and unscientific to conduct the study as outlined in the
protocol.

Utahns a Crucial Weapon in U.S. Smallpox Defenses
BY TROY GOODMAN
� 2003, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
How close can Utahns get to
protecting America from
bioterrorism? Roll up your sleeve
and find out.
Smallpox vaccinations are now
available to hundreds
of residents willing to sign up
for a government-run
program to extract human plasma
containing antibodies
to the virus. But to have the
antibodies, program
participants must be freshly
vaccinated for smallpox.
So far, more than 500 Utahns
are walking around with
new vaccination marks on their
upper left arm -- the
first time fresh smallpox vaccine
scars have appeared
on nonmilitary personnel in 30
years.
Participants, who receive
between $500 to $1,000 for
their service, began receiving the
vaccinations in May,
according to vaccination provider
Serologicals Corp. Few
serious side effects have been
reported.
"We've had a couple of
participants end up in the
emergency room after they reported
pain in the lymph
nodes . . . so we sent them to get
checked out," said
Jolette Franco, Serologicals'
administrator for
plasma-donor operations in Utah.
The Atlanta-based
company has two plasma centers in
Utah, one in Salt
Lake City and one in Provo, where
the smallpox
vaccinations are being given.
All of those who were
hospitalized have been treated
and released, Franco said. No
other serious
smallpox-vaccine side effects have
been reported in
Utah or in Serologicals' 11 other
clinics in a half-dozen
states.
The company is using the
plasma to create a drug to
treat those who suffer adverse
reactions to the
vaccine.
The federal Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention, through the direction
of President Bush, has
been working with state and local
health departments
and hospitals to further develop
their smallpox response
plans. Up to now, this included
identifying health care
workers and emergency responders
to serve on Smallpox
Response Teams who will be given
pre-bioterrorism-attack
vaccinations. The inoculations
could begin as early as this
month; they are likely to be
performed on 500,000 health
workers and 500,000
military personnel during 2003.
But those smallpox
vaccinations cannot go forward
until the CDC produces enough
antidote to the vaccine's
side effects. That's where
Serologicals and Utah comes
in; the company has the go-ahead
to inoculate area
residents and then collect their
antibody-filled plasma to
make vaccinia immune globulin, or
VIG. The antidote must
be made from the plasma of people
vaccinated in the
last two months, when the
antibodies are strongest in
the bloodstream.
Routine smallpox vaccinations
for children ceased in
1972 and the military stopped
doing it to troops in the
1980s. Those who now have the
vaccination scar, a
button-sized skin indention on the
upper arm, lost the
vaccination protection about five
years after they got it
-- usually while they were still
children.
Donors are usually paid $50
for each time their
plasma is drawn, which is approved
after a screening
interview and a physical with a
Serologicals staffer.
After a two-week post-vaccination
wait period, donor
plasma is drawn twice a week for
about eight weeks,
which means donors can earn upward
of $1,000.
The CDC said Friday its VIG
stockpile is larger than
2,700 doses, enough to cover
adverse reactions in 27
million inoculations. Another drug
called cidofovir also is
being stockpiled to treat vaccine
complications, but only
the most severe reactions.
Production of both drugs
continues today, the CDC said.
Serologicals (through the
Canadian company Cangene)
and the Maryland-based DynPort
Vaccine Company were
given stocks of smallpox vaccine
to help make VIG.
The most typical risks from
smallpox vaccine, which is
made from a cousin virus to
smallpox and harvested
from livestock, include some
soreness or swelling of the
upper arm and a mild fever and
nausea.
The vaccine-related symptoms
usually subside within a
week or two and can be treated
with over-the-counter
painkillers. Among adults who are
vaccinated, one in
three people will feel nauseated
or feverish enough to
miss work or maybe have trouble
sleeping, according to
CDC statistics. Deaths from
vaccinations are rare: about
one person per 1 million
inoculations.
Infection with the smallpox
virus itself is fatal in 30
percent of cases.
Franco said the criteria for
being a VIG donor are
strict: Volunteers must be in good
health, weigh at least
110 pounds and must be able to
pass blood tests for
communicable diseases like
hepatitis, HIV or other
conditions.
Sufferers of the skin disease
eczema are being
excluded.
And since touching the
vaccination site or the bandage
can infect someone else with the
vaccine virus, potential
VIG donors cannot live with anyone
at high risk for
complications: pregnant friends or
family members,
children under 1 or people with
unexplained rashes or
weakened immune systems.
"If you're under a doctor's
care for any reason,
donors also have to have a note"
from the physician to
pass the donor screening process,
Franco said.

News Release ........Smallpox Gunmen Deptized to Secure Vaccine Areas

Sandpoint,ID��..Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials
are directing police chiefs nationwide to search local gun owner
records to identify and train civilian deputies to secure smallpox
vaccinations sites. According to documents forwarded to civil rights
groups by police chief's engaged in a growing smallpox vaccination
resistance movement, the plan calls for armed civilian security
guards to maintain the peace in every room the vaccine will be given.
The FEMA directive is aimed to prevent violence at
smallpox "vaccination areas." It also effectively removes law
enforcement officials who oppose vaccination." Police chiefs are now
being pressured to comply, get vaccinated, then promote the smallpox
vaccine," said one chief who requested anonymity. "They expect us to
follow the 500,000 military personnel that began to receive the
vaccine this week."
FEMA officials were unavailable for comment regarding their
involvement in ordering one armed civilian "security staff" to defend
every two "vaccinators," including one "preferred" registered nurse.
These civilian volunteers are expected to administer thousands of
vaccines per day.
"Authorities will claim this availability of lethal force is meant to
reduce risks and protect volunteers," said Inri Cassel, the director
of Vaccination Liberation. "We are seeing increasingly coercive
policies, allegedly for "public health" and national security," that
dangerously restrict civil rights and religious freedoms."
Clinical trials on the largely unproven smallpox vaccine are ongoing
at Baylor University and three other sites. "That proves the
experimental nature of this entire program," said Dr. Leonard
Horowitz , a public health authority and bioterrorism expert who
helped establish a public information website all about smallpox.
(http://www.allaboutsmallpox.com)
Many medical and public health officials have serious doubts about
the expected benefits versus known health risks of this hurried plan.
A scientific consensus voted against this plan last summer, Dr.
Horowitz explained, referring to a series of governmental hearings
that concluded in June. "Forcing military & emergency personnel to
receive a 50 year old mixture of cow pus,mercury and fetal calf
serum, to adequately protect against modern strains of smallpox,
including those weaponized for mass destruction, grossly violates
common sense and medical ethics."
"I've been vindicated," said Jack McLamb, a retired military and
police officer, and publisher of AID & Abet, a police and military
periodical. Officer McLamb has been persecuted for years for openly
criticizing the government while predicting that law officers would
be used to enforce coercive public health policies that attack civil
liberties and undermine religious freedoms. "My detractors laughed
when I said, `Tyranny can not come to the home of any American unless
it comes in uniform.' Now no one is laughing anymore."

PLEDGE TAKEN BY Health care workers to oppose smallpox vaccinations
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002
Two major hospitals have refused to comply and Jeffrey Koplan (former CDC
director) has spoken against mass smallpox vaccinations.
Here is the pledge:
The Bush program to vaccinate all health care workers against smallpox is
unscientific, unethical, and most importantlydangerous. The program seems
designed to validate his war agenda rather than to protect the public's
health. Vaccinations are appropriate when the benefits clearly outweigh the
risks of side effects. This is not the case with the smallpox vaccine.
Adverse effects from smallpox vaccine can include painful swelling,
infection, rash, joint pain, malaise and fever. Perhaps a third of those
inoculated may have to stay home one or more days, as with flu-like
illness. Severe rashes, blindness, inflammation of the brain, and even
death are possible though rare. Serious complications were reported at the
rate of 49-900 per million and life threatening ones at 14-52 per million.
Some 50 million people in the U.S. with eczema, HIV/AIDS, cancer, lupus,
other immune disorders, and atopic dermatitis are at higher risk of more
serious reactions. Since it is a live virus vaccine (vaccinia: a cowpox
virus) people who get the vaccination can transmit it unwittingly to others
for 3 weeks after inoculationincluding to family members and high-risk
patients. Smallpox vaccinations have so many adverse side effects that the
drug companies have insisted on legal exemption from civil suits for
illness and death arising from the vaccinations. Bad experiences from
unwarranted mass inoculations could undermine public confidence in all
immunization programs and in the competence of health workers to protect
the public's health.
In the very remote chance that an outbreak was to occur, the former
plans for quarantines and ring vaccinations might be appropriate. But there
has not been a single case of smallpox in the world for over 20 years and
even the Bush administration admits that there has been no evidence of any
danger of an outbreak. Why, then, carry out mass vaccinations?
Generating fear and hysteria over smallpox may be an effort to gain
public support for an unjust and unpopular war against Iraq, for spending
even more billions on the military, and for eroding civil liberties. Let us
remember the anthrax outbreak in 2001 that killed 5 people was initially
blamed on "foreign terrorists." Federal investigators admitted months later
that the evidence points to a scientist from a U.S. military laboratory.
Expanded research on smallpox and vaccines could increase the number of
individuals handling smallpox virus and thus actually increase the risk of
some terrible accident or crime from a similar source. Clearly the risks of
the smallpox vaccination campaign far outweigh any presumed benefit. We
don't have to go along with it.
THE HEALTH WORKERS' PLEDGE:
As a health worker, my responsibility is to prevent disease, treat
illness and promote health. My obligation is to help, and above all, do no
harm.
Smallpox vaccination has known and potentially serious side
effects. In the absence of any evidence of exposure or risk of exposure to
smallpox virus, it is unethical and a threat to my health and the health of
the patients and public that I serve to administer unnecessary vaccine.
Military personnel are unfairly being forced to get the vaccine and
this should be stopped. As a health worker I am being given a choice, and I
choose NO!
I will not be pressured to risk my health and the health of
patients. I will not participate in a campaign that is against the best
interests of the public I serve. I hereby pledge that, in the absence of
evidence of exposure, I will not get and will not give smallpox vaccinations.
