The Swine Flu Vaccine:
What You Might Like to Know
No swine flu vaccine. Those are the headlines at the time of the posting of this web page, (April 30, 2009) there has not been a decision to start production of a swine influenza vaccine. This raises several questions. Why the delay? What is a vaccine? What do vaccines do? What are the risks of vaccines? What if there were another way, perhaps in some ways better? Delay in Making Swine Flu Vaccine Sanofi Aventis, the largest global producer of influenza vaccines, could begin the mass-production a swine flu vaccine as soon as September. To make the swine flu vaccine would mean not producing the seasonal flu vaccine.The seasonal flu results in as many as one million deaths world wide. To not make this and have the swine flu fizzle like it did the last time it surfaced would be a health care disaster. What is a Vaccine? A vaccine is a medicine that is given to help the body stimulate the production of antibodies that will help the body to produce immunity against one or several diseasesVaccines are usually made from the causative organism (bacteria, viruses) of the disease. Vaccines are made of pieces (antigens) of these organisms. They are composed of whole killed (inactivated) organisms or live, weakened (attenuated) organisms that have lost their disease-producing properties. Sometimes pieces of the organisms such as an outer coat protein are made into a vaccine. Another process involves inactivating a toxin formed by the causative agent with formalin into a toxoid. What do vaccines do? Vaccines are usually designed to prevent diseases commonly caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Vaccines stimulate the body to produce antibodies. Once a foreign pathogen invades the body, the antibodies recognize and neutralize or help eliminate the invader (humoral immune response). Or specific cells called immune cells are generated and they destroy cells infected by the organisms (cellular immune response). The antibodies are produced by B-Cells, also called B lymphocytes. (Our body has two circulatory systems, blood and lymph). These in turn will mature into plasma cells once inside the bone marrow. From there they will go to the spleen and lymph nodes. Another kind of cell, T Cells or T lymphocytes mature in the thymus. They help produce helper T cells and killer T cells. These two lymphocyte cells work together to control and hopefully completely rid the body of the invading infection. What are Vaccine Side Effects? Note: The purpose of this website is to present options for you the reader to consider. What if there were a better way? What if there were safer means to help boost immunity?This website nor its owners do not hold a position that vaccines are beneficial or harmful. This is something that needs to be discussed with your doctor. You will need to become an educated consumer in order to make the best decision. Do not make your decision solely on the basis of what you read on the web though, especially if it is against vaccines. Always try to find reputable medical and health care based articles and publications to base opinions and decisions on. Vaccine risks are often not discussed or even dismissed as insignificant. There are numerous websites from families of children who were victims of side effects of vaccination. The risk and debility was not insignificant to the parents nor the affected children. Here are a few quotes of the doctors in the movement away from vaccines. "Probably 20% of American children—one youngster in five--- suffers from "development disability". This is a stupefying figure…...... the primary cause of encephalitis...... is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of US children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other shoots or branches of the hydra-headed entity called "development disabilities", owe their disorders to one or another of the vaccines against childhood diseases."—Harris L. Coulter, Ph.D. Death and vaccination:"Sometimes it ends in sudden death. Within a few hours or a day of the shot the baby is found dead in its cradle. These deaths are classified in our medical statistics as "crib death" or "sudden infant death of unknown origin." There are about 9000 cases of SIDS in the United States every year, of which probably 6000 are vaccine-related."--Harris Coulter (1996) http://whale.to/vaccines/coulter5.html NVICP has paid out for 50 deaths per year:The US Federal Government's National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) has paid out over 724.4 million dollars to parents of vaccine injured and killed children, in taxpayer dollars. The NVICP has received over 5000 petitions since 1988, including over 700 for vaccine-related deaths, and there are still over 2800 total death and injury cases pending that may take years to resolve (NVICP, Health Resources and Services Administration). What side effects the swine flu vaccine will present are yet to be seen. VRAN.org is an organization of parents who have experienced the nightmare of vaccine side effects. What if there were another way, perhaps in some ways better than the proposed swine flu vaccine? Glutathione and Swine Flu What if it were so simple? Read the 2006 Report.
