How? Why?
History

Inevitably, after studying this issue, the seeker of truth asks… How could this be? Why does vaccination seem so popular? Why do doctors, scientists or public officials speak so favorably toward them? In order to full comprehend these questions and arrive at satisfactory, independent answers, one must consider certain psychological dynamics, societal tendencies, and ...more

1. "New research: no good scientific evidence flu shots are effective or safe for elders"
"According to none other than the esteemed health experts of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) web site, "... people 65 and older should get their regular, or 'seasonal', flu vaccine as soon as possible...It turns out, however, there's no valid scientific evidence to back up these recommendations. In fact, a new study just published in the Cochrane Systematic Review concludes: "Evidence for the safety and efficacy of influenza vaccines in the over 65s is poor, despite the fact that vaccination has been recommended for the prevention of influenza in older people for the past 40 years." A research team conducted an extensive investigation of studies based on previous vaccine trials. ...All the other studies that were scrutinized were found to be not only of low quality but clearly open to a bias toward flu vaccines.. "As the evidence is so scarce at the moment, we should be looking at other strategies to complement vaccinations. Some of these are very simple things like personal hygiene, and adequate food and water," Jefferson continued."

2. "What May Be the Single Biggest Threat to Your Health?"
"In the early days of the panic, the BBC Today program brought in a WHO 'expert' to predict that 40 percent of Britons would catch swine flu, while citing another unnamed 'expert' as predicting that up to 1.2 million could die. Yet eight months later it was being reported by scientists that swine flue is only a tenth as virulent as ordinary flu, and only one 100th as virulent as that Spanish flu at the end of World War I.... In other words, swine flu -- just like the bird flu which a senior WHO official said in 2005 was going to kill 150 million people worldwide (the true death toll turned out to be barely 200) -- has predictably turned out to be yet another example of that all-too-familiar and very dangerous disease of our time, the 'scare phenomenon.' These scares consistently follow an identifiable pattern...."

3. "Swine Flu Pandemic and Vaccines Under Investigation"
"The World Health Organisation (WHO) will have to explain what scientific evidence they used, justifying their change of definition of what a pandemic is, in May 2009. The European Council also wants to know precisely what influence the pharmaceutical industry had in the decision-making. Since governments have sealed contracts with vaccine producers, securing orders in advance, (like with Tamiflu during the Bird Flu scare) producers of vaccines were sure of enormous gains without having any financial risks."

4. "Drug Companies Shift Emphasis to Vaccines"
"GSK started reshaping its business in 2007 by focusing on three areas: vaccines, over-the-counter medicines and non-medical products, and emerging markets. GSK diverted investment away from pure research and toward products that enabled the company to catch a greater share of the consumer dollar. However, GSK is not the first drug company to announce job cutbacks and realignment of their target markets, with a path toward vaccines. Novartis, Merck, Pfizer, Novartis, and Sanofi Pasteur are just a few of the Big Pharma members that have done this within the past two years. "

5. "Delhi HC admits plea against govt's vaccination drive"
"The Delhi High Court has admitted a public interest petition filed by a group of medical experts led by a former health secretary against the central government’s plans to introduce “irrational vaccines” into the national immunisation programme without proper epidemiological studies. ... The petitioners have complained that “vaccines which are of questionable utility, expensive and also carry possible side-effects are sought to be introduced at the cost of public exchequer at the behest of WHO (World Health Organization) and vaccine manufacturers”."

6. "Andrew Wakefield, Scientific Censorship, and Fourteen Monkeys; A statement by Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey "
"When it comes to vaccines, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey get it. They see how the pharma industry is engineering a campaign to silence Dr. Andrew Wakefield in order to suppress the publication of startling new evidence linking vaccines to severe neurological damage. At great risk to their professional careers, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey have found the courage to dare to tell the truth about vaccines and autism. Despite the vicious attacks by the pro-vaccine zealots who will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who challenges conventional vaccine mythology, McCarthy and Carrey have issued a powerful, inspired statement that reveals the truth behind the Big Pharma smear campaign that is intent on destroying the reputation of Dr. Andrew Wakefield before he can publish the final results of this important new study."

7. "When Doctors Dissent"
"The medical council has recently distributed a letter to all medical practitioners admonishing them not to give advice against receiving the AH1N1 vaccine. This letter raises several issues, which, if not contemplated well, may lead to public mistrust in the profession in general."
Prof. Pierre Mallia, The Malta Indepenent -- 2/4/2010

8. "Swine Flu: Lots of Hype or Did the Hype Save Us?"
"With the peak of flu season behind us, as swine flu cases drop and, as a result, European countries cancel millions of swine-flu vaccine orders, the World Health Organization (WHO) is facing tough allegations of "faking" a pandemic for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry, according to a Jan. 26 ABC News report. The allegations have prompted an internal review at the WHO and the Council of Europe hearings, stated a Jan. 26 BBC article."

9. "H1N1 vaccine hoax fooled Governments into spending billions of dollars on needless vaccines"
"As reports of adverse reactions from the H1N1 vaccine, pour in from all over the world, it is now thought that an illness which is little more than a cold, has been deliberately blown up out of all proportions by the pharmaceutical industries to make money. Large numbers of people all over the world have been vaccinated for what some say is a 'non existent pandemic' for the sole purpose of profit. Paul Flyn, Vice Chairman, Council of Europe Health Authority said in news report H1N1 'false pandemic ' biggest pharma fraud of the century? that 'the world has been subjected to a stunt, for the own greedy interests of the pharmaceutical companies'."

10. "Swine Flu Didn't Fly"
"For makers of the swine flu vaccine, 2009 was a year to remember. By June, CSL Limited's annual profits had risen 63 percent over 2008. GlaxoSmithKine's 2009 earnings spiked 30 percent in the third quarter alone, to $2.19 billion. Roche made a stunning 12 times more in the second quarter of 2009 than of 2008. But in 2010, drug companies may get their comeuppance. On Tuesday, the Council of Europe launched an investigation into whether the World Health Organization "faked" the swine flu pandemic to boost profits for vaccine manufacturers. The inquiry, held in Strasbourg, France, vindicates a worldwide movement of insiders, experts, and elected officials who accuse the United Nations organization of misleading the world into buying millions of unnecessary vaccines."
