There are trends that epidemiologists are becoming aware of with reference to who gets sick with Swine Flu, and who doesn’t. I strongly recommend learning the facts, before succumbing to the government-influenced campaign to innoculate against a virus that was manufactured by vaccine companies, in their own labs.

FDA’s Own Documents Show Cascade of Wrongdoing
Documents we continue to obtain from FDA under the Freedom of Information Act paint a picture of an agency that has engaged in wrongdoing — and knows it.
1. While owning stock options in Henry Schein Inc., Commissioner Margaret Hamburg indeed did participate in the amalgam rule-making, presiding at a July 1 policy meeting “to secure feedback from the Office of the Commissioner” and to discuss the rule’s “next steps.” Having received over a million dollars for the easy lifting of being a corporate “director,” Hamburg repeatedly disregarded warnings to stop: the ethics contract she signed, an admonition from her financial advisor, and two letters from me.
2. Hamburg sidekick Joshua Sharfstein entered at the last minute to rubber-stamp the rule that covers up the mercury and conceals warnings of neurological harm to children and unborn babies that FDA had already agreed to. Sharfstein has become so knee-deep in this morass that just yesterday he cancelled a meeting with Congresswoman Diane Watson, who demands an explanation for such a horrible rule.
3. After Hamburg complained to her corporation that “there are constraints on my activities while I hold any interest in Schein,” Schein officials offered her a special favor — they agreed to cancel the options before their expiration date (something that even Hamburg’s financial advisor had said was not possible) so that the Commissioner could start regulating Schein sooner. Hamburg agreed and the deal was signed on July 28 – the day the amalgam rule was announced.
4. Henry Schein benefited enormously from the rule, with its stock jumping $1.50. In an email exchange, the Commissioner “severed” her relationship to Schein (two days after the rule was announced), but assured Schein’s general counsel that she hoped her “friendships” at Schein “will outlast the period of my recusal.” In response, the general counsel noted that Schein is “indebted” to her for her “service” at FDA.
5. The Commissioner’s husband, Peter Fitzhugh Brown, was marketed to the American people as an “expert in artificial intelligence.” Actually, he is a hedge fund trader, an officer at Wall Street colossus Renaissance Technologies. Hamburg secretly enlisted Peter Brown into FDA’s inner circle to participate in FDA deliberations as to how to deal with the amalgam rule’s fall-out, where he could advise agency press aides and policy makers and be advised by FDA lawyers — and get valuable insider information for his day job (an FDA Commissioner has a huge impact on stock values of major corporations). Renaissance Technologies traded $6 million in Schein stock during the second quarter alone.
We are fighting back.
A) Fifty-seven (57) good Iowa folks have written FDA critic Senator Chuck Grassley to ask him to investigate the horror show at FDA, http://www.toxicteeth.org/Hawkeyes%20to%20Grassley.pdf They included my five page letter, with 15 attachments – which goes through this problem chapter and verse (of what we know so far, keeping in mind FDA blocks release of most records). http://www.toxicteeth.org/Hawkeyes%20to%20Grassley.pdf
B) Jim Turner filed an excellent petition for reconsideration, raising a wide variety of major issues – both procedural (such as Hamburg’s ethical problems) and substantive (such as FDA’s nonsensical and unsubstantiated decision not to tell consumers about the mercury because giving patients something to talk about would discourage discussion with dentists). http://www.toxicteeth.org/Petition%20for%20Recon%20Final.pdf
C) Thirty-nine (39) Members of Congress, so far have signed onto the Watson-Burton resolution calling for FDA to disclose the presence and risk of the mercury. It’s House Resolution 648; check with your Representative to see if she or he has signed on yet.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg entered FDA through the revolving door from Henry Schein Inc., the nation’s #1 amalgam seller; participated in the rule-making despite a trio of warnings; corralled her staff into making false denials about it; cut a deal with benefactor Schein on the day the amalgam rule was announced; and brought a hedge fund trader dealing in Schein stock into FDA’s inner circle. Small wonder that Hamburg’s chief press henchman calls for an “end game” against those seeking to unmask the wrongdoing.

A colleague had written:
It’s a scenario that strikes terror in most any parent: A perfectly healthy first-grader dies of flu in the ambulance outside his home. How could it happen?
In the most recent H1N1 flu death in Minnesota, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office said that 6-year-old Nathanael Schilling of Corcoran died on Sept. 24 from an inflammation of the heart, a rare complication that can result from a flu infection.
He was a first-grader at St. John’s Lutheran School in Corcoran, according to his newspaper funeral notice.
It was the seventh death from H1N1 in Minnesota, and the second time this year that an otherwise healthy child died after becoming infected with the new flu strain.
Health officials say they still expect the new virus to be no more deadly than ordinary seasonal flu, which kills 36,000 Americans in an average year. What’s different this year is that children appear to be more vulnerable to the new strain than to seasonal flu.
The previous child fatality in Minnesota, which occurred in July, also involved an otherwise healthy child. That 2-year-old died because of a co-occurring bacterial infection — pneumococcus, which causes pneumonia, said Dr. Ruth Lynfield, Minnesota state epidemiologist.
Alone, it’s not usually dangerous in someone who is healthy. But the flu virus opens a door, allowing the non-threatening agent to overwhelm the body and become lethal. It’s the combination of the two that often kills otherwise healthy children and adults.
If symptoms worsen, act
“That’s why we tell people who get the flu that if they are getting better and then symptoms get worse with high fever and bad cough, they should seek care right away,” Lynfield said.
A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that of the 36 children who died from H1N1 from April to August, six had no chronic health conditions. But all of them had a co-occurring bacterial infection
To Which I responded:
My understanding is that children under 10 will receive no benefit from the vaccine. Almost everything is being shipped with Thimerosal b/c they need multiple dose vials (why can’t the docs just throw the vial out at the end of a day if they haven’t used all 10 doses?). How do they know what the shelf life of a vial with a needle hole in a rubber stopper is?
I know it’s a tough decision, but I wouldn’t. People are dying from the vaccine too.

To Which another colleague wrote:
H1N1 has killed over 1000 in the US so far this year and hospitalized over 20,000. How many documented cases of the H1N1 vaccine causing a death are there? You say “people are dying from the vaccine”. I have not located a single case so far. Could you help me out?
Also, you state that children under 10 will receive no benefit from the vaccine. Where did you get this patently false information, and more importantly, why are you believing it? If you don’t want to get it for philosophical or ideological reasons, fine. But there is no need to spread pseudo-scientific falsehoods.
So here is the foundation of my beliefs:
See, it all depends on which side of the story you’re reading the results. My bias is anti-vaccination (see http://www.nvic.org/NVIC-Vaccine-News/July-2009/Swine-Flu-Vaccine-Should-Not-Be-Given-to-Children.aspx), ever since the first Swine Flu debacle in 76, I haven’t taken a flu shot, and believe that the md’s don’t do enough research about what they’re putting into their very succetible infant patients.
I get my information from articles like this: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx
As the husband of a woman who has worked with autism as a special education teacher since 1973, I have always been very in tune with these issues.
What caused my latest concerns was something posted here in the summer by Bill Domb, a very trusted source of information, I’m sure you can’t deny. The geo-political/Big Pharma issue of this whole debacle was something I was concerned about since the outbreak in Mexico in the Spring. I thought I was watching too much Jack Bauer, and then Domb showed us all this: http://www.healthyworldstore.com/downloads/mexican_flu_2009-special_report_by_dr._leonard_horowitz.pdf Unfortunately, most of the real news goes unreported (again, depending upon which side of the issue you stand on).
In my eyes, I want my children to be very careful about what they allow modern medicine to do to my grandchildren. Here are 10 reasons not to let children get the flu vaccine: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/06/Why-You-Should-NOT-Vaccinate-Your-Children-Against-the-Flu-This-Season.aspx . I guess the Obama’s must be getting some inside information, eh?

First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1
President Obama’s school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain. The CDC also says a regular seasonal flu shot does not protect against the virus.
There are some who believe that this is a campaign to aid and abett the thinning of the herd, an adjuvant (speaking in vaccination terms) to Only the Strong Survive (not exactly the way Darwin perceived it).
Please note, further conversations about H1N1 vaccination and swine flu are under their own subject heading now.
While the government and the CDC continue to admonish laggers to vaccinate, many websites seeking to educate the public about vaccination in general, and H1N1 specifically have become more visibile. This is one I found just today, (click here). I have decided that this should be an entirely new subject on my blog, so if you want to see some of the earlier information, look at the posts from Sept and Oct 2009 and Vaccines and Autism Page on my blogsite on my website.

OBJECTIVE: Microbial biofilms are communities of sessile microorganisms formed by cells that are attached irreversibly to a substratum or interface or to each other and embedded in a hydrated matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. Microbial biofilms have been implicated in >80% of human infections such as periodontitis, urethritis, endocarditis, and device-associated infections. Thus far, intraamniotic infection has been attributed to planktonic (free-floating) bacteria. A case is presented in which “amniotic fluid sludge” was found to contain microbial biofilms. This represents the first report of a microbial biofilm in the amniotic cavity.
STUDY DESIGN: “Amniotic fluid sludge” was detected by transvaginal sonography and retrieved by transvaginal amniotomy. Bacteria were identified with scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence in situ hybridization for conserved regions of the microbial genome; the exopolymeric matrix was identified by histochemistry by the wheat germ agglutinin lectin method. The structure of the biofilm was imaged with confocal laser scanning microscopy.
RESULTS: “Amniotic fluid sludge” was imaged with scanning electron microscopy, which allowed the identification of bacteria embedded in an amorphous material and inflammatory cells. Bacteria were demonstrated with fluorescent in situ hybridization using a eubacteria probe. Extracellular matrix was identified with the wheat germ agglutinin lectin stain. Confocal microscopy allowed 3-dimensional visualization of the microbial biofilm.
CONCLUSION: Microbial biofilms have been identified in a case of intraamniotic infection with “amniotic fluid sludge.”
IMPLICATION: Periodontal infections cross the placenta and infect the fetus

Delayed Acquisition of Neonatal Reflexes in newborn Primates receiving A Thimerosal-containing HepatitiS B Vaccine: influence of gestational age and Birth weight
Abstract
This study examined whether acquisition of neonatal reflexes and sensorimotor skills in newborn rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) is influenced by receipt of the single neonatal dose of Hepatitis B (HB) vaccine containing the preservative thimerosal (Th). HB vaccine containing a standardized weight-adjusted Th dose was administered to male macaques within 24 hours of birth (n = 13). Unexposed animals received saline placebo (n = 4) or no injection (n = 3). Infants were raised identically and tested daily for acquisition of 9 survival, motor, and sensorimotor reflexes by a blinded observer. In exposed animals there was a significant delay in the acquisition of three survival reflexes: root, snout and suck, compared with unexposed animals. No neonatal responses were significantly delayed in unexposed animals compared with exposed. Gestational age (GA) and birth weight were not significantly correlated. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the main effects and interactions of exposure with birth weight and GA as independent predictors and time-invariant covariates. Significant main effects remained for exposure on root and suck when controlling for GA and birth weight such that exposed animals were relatively delayed in time-to-criterion. There was a significant effect of GA on visual follow far when controlling for exposure such that increasing GA was associated with shorter time-to-criterion. Interaction models indicated that while there were no main effects of GA or birth weight on root, suck or snout reflexes there were various interactions between exposure, GA, and birth weight such that inclusion of the relevant interaction terms significantly improved model fit. This, in turn, indicated important influences of birth weight and/or GA on the effect of exposure which, in general, operated in a way that lower birth weight and/or lower GA exacerbated the detrimental effect of vaccine exposure. This primate model provides a possible means of assessing adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes from neonatal Th-containing HB vaccine exposure, particularly in infants of lower GA or low birth weight. The mechanism of these effects and the requirements for Th is not known and requires further study.

A new study in the leading scientific journal NeuroToxicology lends further credence to parents and scientists concerned about an increasingly aggressive childhood vaccine schedule and toxic vaccine components. A team led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that infant macaque monkeys receiving a single Hepatitis B vaccine containing the mercury-based preservative thimerosal underwent significant delays in developing critical reflexes controlled by the brainstem. The infant macaques that did not receive vaccines developed normally.
Government vaccine guidelines were expanded in 1991 to include a Hepatitis B vaccine for infants within the first few days of life, even though the disease is primarily transmitted sexually or spread through the use of dirty needles. [Markus' Note: Dr. Sherry Tenpenny has stated that allowing your child to be innoculated at birth is just like saying, "Yep, better get it done now, because by the time my child is 10 he or she will be an IV-drug-using child prostitute.]The introduction of the shot was part of a greatly accelerated vaccine schedule that coincides with the drastic increase in autism, which now affects one in 100 American children. Thimerosal was removed from U.S. Hepatitis B vaccines in 2000 but was not recalled from the market and was administered for approximately two more years. It still remains in other vaccines including all multi-dose shots for both the seasonal flu and H1N1.
Current government recommendations for seasonal flu and H1N1 call for pregnant women to receive both vaccines, and children as young as six months to receive as many as four separate flu shots. “This also doesn’t take into account that nursing infants may be exposed to additional mercury through breastmilk should both mother and baby be vaccinated,” says National Autism Association (NAA) board chair Lori McIlwain. “This study’s outcome confirms that such an over-the-top toxic vaccine schedule is an assault on the developing brains of our children.”Specifically, the study found:
– Thirteen newborn rhesus macaques were given a Hepatitis B vaccine containing a standardized dose of thimerosal adjusted for their weight, four received a saline placebo, and three were not given any shots.
– Vaccinated animals experienced a significant delay in the acquisition of three survival reflexes compared to unvaccinated animals. Root, snout, and suck reflexes, critical to animal survival in the wild, were delayed in the vaccinated macaques.
– These reflexes are controlled by the brainstem, a vital part of the brain that regulates automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and intestinal activity.v — Neonatal responses in unvaccinated control animals were not delayed.
– The delay in acquisition of three of the four survival reflexes was not contingent on birth weight or gestational age.
For years, parents of children with autism have lobbied government health agencies to conduct research comparing the health of vaccinated children to that of unvaccinated children, and to remove thimerosal from all vaccines. Neither request has been met.
“This study underscores the lack of appropriate government action to ensure the safety of vaccines. Had our government agencies conducted the most basic research on the implications to children’s health from the vaccines they rigorously promote, they could have spared thousands of children the neurological injuries they endure today,” said Ms. McIlwain. “It’s shameful.”

This is taken from Dr. Mercola’s article, today. There are NINE IMPORTANT REASONS NOT TO LET YOUR PEDIATRICIAN TALK YOU INTO VACCINATION! In my eyes, this is the most important:
“3.Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?”

An additional article, published today indicates that the incidence of Autism is much higher than the 1 in 150 that was reported just two years ago. It is more like one in a hundred. Protect your children.
