Canadian babies are new test market for adjuvanted flu
vaccine
Increasingly parents are questioning whether it’s safe to inject their
baby with as many as 7or 8 vaccines at each pediatric “well baby” visit
in the first year of life. Starting at 2 months of age and repeated
again at 4 and 6 months with follow up boosters in the second year of
life, babies in Canada can receive up to 41 doses of 14 vaccines in the first 18 months of
life. In some areas of the country
hepatitis B vaccine is also injected at birth and repeat doses are given
in the early months of life. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends
that children get a flu shot every year! Babies however, are to be
injected with influenza vaccine starting at 6 months of age, with a
second dose repeated at 18 months. It is well known that children under
age 2 don’t mount a vigorous immune response to influenza vaccines, that
it provides no benefit but HUGELY increases the risk of succumbing to
other respiratory viruses as shown in this study;
- Influenza vaccines provide no benefit.
- Influenza vaccines cause a hugely increased number of respiratory illnesses.
- Influenza vaccines—and very likely other vaccines—harm the innate
cell-mediated immune response, which results in a significant increase
in infectious disease incidents.
They’ve known for 10 years that influenza vaccination of children under 2
is ineffective and does not reduce symptomatic cases. In this
article, Influenza Vaccination Of Infants: A Useless Risk, Dr. Ed Yazbak MD summarizes
the Cochrane Collaboration review of studies which found that the efficacy of the
flu vaccine and reduction in laboratory-confirmed cases, is “similar to
that of a placebo.” In the seemingly endless quest to manipulate children’s immune systems
to accommodate the voracious appetites of the vaccine industry, Big
Pharma has developed a new pediatric influenza vaccine that is boosted
by a powerful oil based adjuvant, never before used in babies. It is
design to pack a wallop to the infant’s immune system to overcome its
resistance to responding to influenza vaccines. Adjuvants are formulated compounds, which when combined with vaccine
antigens intensify the body’s immune response. They are used to elicit
an early, high and long-lasting immune response. For decades many
vaccines have been boosted with aluminum based adjuvants which are now
implicated in triggering autoimmune disorders. With government approval, the vaccine industry is now poised to foist an
experimental oil based adjuvanted vaccine on Canadian babies who are
the targeted test population.
Earlier this year, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada announced the approval of Fluad Pediatric TM, the first adjuvanted trivalent
influenza vaccine for children ages 6 months to less than 2 years.
The adjuvant, known as MF59® is comprised of a “biodegradable oil”, squalene, that is mixed with
sodium citrate dehydrate and citric acid monohydrate and the
surfactants, polysorbate 80 and sorbitan trioleate. Polysorbate 80 is
well known as a chemical vector that can cross the blood brain barrier and is “used in pharmacology to assist in the delivery of certain drugs
or chemotherapeutic agents across the blood-brain-barrier.” The
adjuvant is intended to override this resistance and force the baby’s
immune system to mount a vigorous immune response to the new influenza vaccine. This is the first time the MF59® adjuvant has been approved for use in
babies. Canada approved this vaccine on the basis of a single study of 6,100 children. Excluded from the
study was a true placebo control group
receiving no vaccines. The clinical trial report details the adverse events
and indicates only healthy children were included in the study. Novartis
admits in its product monograph that “there is no post-marketing experience with FLUAD Pediatric™ in
infants and children” which means that a true picture of side effects
and injuries won’t be revealed until the vaccine is released for
injection into children under age 2. Fluad has been licensed for older adults in Europe since 1997. It
contains a larger dose of MF59® adjuvant than the pediatric version of
the vaccine. It is now being marketed to the 65 and older crowd in
Canada, whose immune systems like those of young children don’t respond
well to influenza vaccines. In the U.S. the FDA has recommended approval of the MF59® adjuvanted
Fluad vaccine for use in the elderly but not yet for children. In 2014 Italy reported 19 deaths of seniors after they received Fluad,
and the country temporarily suspended two batches of the vaccine. A few years earlier in 2012, CBC reported that Canada was following the lead of several European countries in
suspending the distribution of Novartis’ influenza vaccines, Fluad and
Agriflu after discovery of “tiny clumps of virus particles in some
batches of flu vaccines made at the Novartis production facility in
Italy.” Tricking the immune system For decades, vaccine developers have been tinkering with various
substances to trick the body into heightened immune responses. The most
effective adjuvants are formulated with oils but have long been
considered too reactive for use in humans. Immunologists have known for
decades that a microscopic dose of even a few molecules of adjuvant
injected into the body can cause disturbances in the immune system and
have known since the1930’s that oil based adjuvants are particularly dangerous.
Scientists theorize that oil based adjuvants have the ability to
“hyperactivate” the immune system, and in doing so, create chaos by
inducing such an extremely powerful response that the immune system goes haywire and starts attacking elements it would normally
ignore. Adjuvants can break “tolerance”, meaning they can disable the immune
system to the extent that it loses its ability to distinguish what is
“self” from what is foreign. Normally, the immune system ignores the
constituents of one’s own body. Immunologists call this “tolerance”.
But if something happens to break “tolerance”, then the immune system
turns relentlessly self-destructive, attacking the body it is supposed
to defend. Until now, aluminum adjuvants have been the primary stimulants added to
vaccines to ramp up immune response. Although in use for many decades,
there are no rigorous studies demonstrating the safety of injecting
these neurotoxic substances into the human body nor have the toxic
effects been studied in babies and young children.
However, in this article, Canadian neuroscientists
review the impact of aluminum adjuvants on the central nervous system and show that there is abundant research showing that aluminum (Al) vaccine adjuvants
are some of the most neurotoxic substances injected into children in the
first two years of life. Worldwide children are routinely exposed to these toxicants which can
and do induce adverse neurological and immunological effects. The highest quantities of aluminum are injected into the infant’s
fragile micro-environment during the most rapid period of brain growth
in the first two years of life. “In spite of the observation that
long-term cumulative exposure from Al [aluminum] adjuvants in adults can
result in adverse autoimmune and neurological outcomes, children
worldwide continue to be exposed to a much greater Al burden from
vaccines.” Medical research is also now revealing that aluminum containing vaccines
can trigger complex autoimmune disorders known as ASIA (Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome induced by Adjuvants) resulting in
chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, diabetes mellitus,
thrombocytompenia, vasculitis, guillain-Barre syndrome and demyelinating
disorders. As reported in this article, “Aluminum’s neurotoxicity is well documented, affecting memory,
cognititon, psychomotor control, damages the blood brain barrier,
activates brain inflammation, depressed mitochondrial function and is
shown to induce allergies.” If the routine injection of neurotoxic vaccine aluminum adjuvants into
babies isn’t sinister enough, giving a green light to this new genre of
injected oil based immune stimulants greatly magnifies the risk of
damage to the child’s developing brain and immune system. It exacerbates
the already excessive load of neurtoxicants young children are injected
with in today's bloated vaccine schedule, added to which is the burden of pervasive chemical contaminants in our environment. It signals a dangerous inability of government regulators
to protect children’s health from the rapacious pharmaceutical
industry. Conflicts of Interest in Canada’s Vaccine Regulatory Approval System In Canada, the NACI (National Advisory Committee on Immunzation) is
charged with reviewing the science and recommending approval of
vaccines. All 9 voting members
have direct or indirect financial or intellectual interests related to
the advisory body's mandate, including ties to pharmaceutical companies
that manufacture vaccines. This includes endorsement of Fluad
Pediatric TM by well known former NACI member, Dr. David Scheifele,
Professor of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia and
Director of the Vaccine Evaluation Center, Child and Family Research
Institute who has received funding from Pfizer, GSK, Novartis and Merck. Are these conflicts of interest and close ties to Pharma the reason why Canada has become the first country (as far as we have been
able to determine) to approve this new experimental vaccine for our
precious babies? The NACI also admits that it has “insufficient data” and that the
effects on young children of a multi-strain adjuvanted vaccine
administered for more than one season, are “unknown”. We are told that, “There are
currently no data on the effects of long-term or repeated administration
of adjuvanted influenza vaccines in children.” The European Medicines Agency, when asked to approve Fluad Pediatric TM, concluded in 2012 that “The
overall benefit-risk balance of Fluad Paediatric is negative” and “is
not approvable since major objections still remain, which preclude a
recommendation for marketing authorisation at the present time.” We’re told by government vaccine regulators that, “Before a vaccine can be submitted to Health Canada to be
considered for approval, sufficient scientific and clinical evidence
must be collected to show that it is safe, efficacious and of suitable
quality.” Why then, are these basic cautions now being abandoned to fast track
an experimental vaccine to Canadian children? Given the unknowns and obvious dangers of releasing this vaccine for
injection in Canadian babies, why would the NACI recommend Fluad
Pediatric TM when the statement’s Safety section states, “There are currently no data on
the effects of long-term or repeated administration of adjuvanted
influenza vaccines in children. The most significant experience with an
adjuvanted influenza vaccine in children was the AS03 adjuvanted H1N1
pandemic that has been associated with an increased risk of narcolepsy. A
study published in December 2014 comparing two adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine
products has suggested that the underlying immune mediated mechanism may
not be initiated by the adjuvant, but by another component of the
vaccine, specifically the H1N1 viral antigen. However, the pandemic
vaccine was a single strain adjuvanted vaccine administered only during
one season, and it is unknown what effects a multi-strain adjuvanted
vaccine or an adjuvanted vaccine administered for more than one season
may have in young children.” The NACI Literature Review of Pediatric Fluad TM from June of 2015 states, “Taken together, the
limited body of evidence identified in this review suggests that ATIV
[adjuvanted trivalent influenza – Fluad] is likely both more immunogenic
and more reactogenic than UTIV [unadjuvanted trivalent influenza
vaccines] among children 6-72 months of age. There are insufficient data
to assess whether ATIV is more effective than UTIV or LAIV in practice
or to make an informed risk-benefit analysis.” Under “Evidence Gaps”, their review states, “Evidence on efficacy and effectiveness of ATIV in
children aged 6 to <72 months is limited to a single clinical trial
(V70P5) with concerns around the reliability of the results.” As was the case with PENTA (the first 5 in 1 experimental vaccine that
caused thousands of severe reactions and injuries including 15 deaths),
the Canadian government seems content to have Canadian babies used as
the test population for this dangerous new vaccine. This will then open
markets for this vaccine to be used for babies in the US and other
countries around the world. Parents Between a Rock and a Hard Place What can parents do when faced with the intense pressure to vaccinate
their precious children with all the existing and newly developed
vaccines ? On the one hand there’s the fear that the so-called ‘vaccine
preventable’ diseases could strike their child at any time if they
don’t accept the ever expanding vaccine schedule so aggressively pushed
by the medical system. On the other hand they worry that too many
vaccines injected too early in life may be at the root of the epidemic
of chronic autoimmune and neurological disorders afflicting huge numbers
of children today. In her rousing speech, The Health Liberty Revolution to Save our Children at the recent CDC protest rally in Atlanta, Barbara Loe Fisher said,
“CDC officials and pediatricians cannot explain why, today, everybody
either has a child or knows a child who was born healthy, then suddenly
regressed physically, mentally and emotionally and joined the ranks of
the walking wounded. They cannot tell us why so many children were once
healthy, got vaccinated and were never healthy again. They refuse to do
the good science to find out why the bodies of so many highly vaccinated
children are on fire, riddled with chronic inflammation that is at the
root of most brain and immune system disorders, including ADHD,
epilepsy, allergies, asthma, autism, diabetes, inflammatory bowel
disease, obesity, cancer, schizophrenia and depression." Those who have taken the time to read the published science based articles, mostly ignored or suppressed by monopoly medicine ask, “Have we traded
ordinary childhood illnesses which the vast majority of children
recovered from, then gained the benefit of lifelong immunity and a
strong immune system, for an epidemic of chronic neurologic and immune
disorders that impose a life sentence of disability and suffering?” Unfortunately, the majority of parents still don’t have enough basic
information about what vaccines actually do in the baby’s body to make a
well informed decision that is in the best interest of their child’s
health, both in the short and long term. Their pediatricians and
doctors are of little help, because the majority of medical
practitioners are themselves in the dark about the biochemical cascade
of events triggered in the young child’s body when injected with a bolus
of vaccines. This is the cross over point to independent research that all concerned
parents come to when they realize that doctors are unable to answer
their basic questions or respond with patronizing platitudes and
outright hostility. Key points to grasp – What parents aren’t told about vaccines: - The science is not settled. There are no studies that have evaluated
and compared the long term health outcome of fully vaccinated people
with those who have never been vaccinated. The human immune system is
one of the most complex systems in physiology. “The immune system remains
a black box”, say immunologists. “We
can’t even be sure how to tell when the immune system’s not working
right, let alone why not, because we don’t have good metrics of what a
healthy human immune system looks like.” - Vaccines are complex biochemical compounds that by definition are
drugs. Once injected, they can cross the blood brain barrier, disrupt
normal function of the immune system, and derail normal brain
development. Once injected, they cannot be deactivated or removed.
Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock MD lays out the dangers of excessive
vaccination during the early years of brain development in this
article.
“Excessive vaccination can result in brain inflammation and brain
swelling that can be prolonged, even lasting years, if not decades” As discussed above, many vaccines contain polysorbate 80, a chemical
used by drug makers to ferry certain drugs across the blood brain barrier
into the brain. What vaccine ingredients is polysorbate 80 ferrying into
the young child’s brain that should not be there but can persist and
stimulate ongoing brain inflammation and with it, the growing list of
neurological disorders afflicting children today? - As explained by neuroscientist, Lucija Tomljenovic in a discussion of How Vaccine Adjuvants Affect the Brain, it’s been known for 30 years, that there is a “significant connection
between the immune system and the central nervous system. If you
overstimulate the immune system at the periphery, especially in the
critical state of early development, you are going to influence the
brain in a negative way, and by doing so, you can create irreversible
damage.” When the immune system is repeatedly over stimulated in the
first few years of life, which vaccines are designed to do, critical
windows of brain development are easily derailed. Despite this basic
knowledge, immunology has barely scratched the surface of understanding
how the immune system works. -Over 100 years ago the Nobel Prize was won by Charles Robert Richet who
discovered that proteins cannot be injected into mammals (humans
included) without risking severe allergic reactions which can result in anaphylaxis, even death of the organism. “We are so
constituted that we can never receive other proteins into the blood
than those that have been modified by digestive juices. Every time alien
protein penetrates by effraction [injection], the organism suffers and becomes
resistant.”
This important article provides evidence that food proteins in vaccines cause sensitization in humans and are driving the explosion of allergies today.
Numbers of anaphylactic children continue to increase. This week, North American parents of anaphylactic children were sent
scrambling for replacement injectible epinephrine when news of a recall of the Sanofi brand, Allerject, hit the media. Children with anaphylaxis must have epinephrine available at all times in case of an inadvertent exposure to a life-threatening allergen.
-All vaccines contain myriad protein particles from many sources and
components. The human body can only receive proteins as food through
the digestive process where proteins are disassembled into their
component amino acids which are then assimilated by the body. As an
example of how toxic injected proteins can be, consider that snake venom
is mostly comprised of proteins. "Proteins constitute 90-95%
of venom's dry weight and are responsible for almost all of its
biological effects." Most venom can be swallowed or ingested without
harm, but once injected, the body ‘s reaction to the complex of
proteins can be extreme and life threatening. - Many vaccines contain aluminum in order to stimulate the immune system to respond
aggressively to the protein particles of the disease antigens. Aluminum adjuvants also stimulate the immune system to respond to all the other
biochemical ingredients contained in the vaccine, thus setting up the potential for allergic reactions to multiple vacine ingredients. Until recently,
aluminum based adjuvants were the only ones used in vaccines. Now, drug
companies are experimenting with highly reactive oil based adjuvants
which have already proved dangerous triggering horrific diseases like
Gulf War Syndrome, and narcoplepsy following the AS03 adjuvanted H1N1
pandemic vaccine. The AS03 squalene based adjuvant is also used in Cervarix, an
HPV vaccine and is known to ramp up a large immune response. - Vaccines commit ‘antigenic sin’ by reprogramming the immune response
to disease pathogens and narrowing the ability of the immune system to
protect the body from similar invaders. As explained by Dr. Suzanne Humphries MD, “When a person gets an infectious disease for the first time, the
body’s immune system uses its innate powers, which mostly involve
cellular immunity. In the process, it prepares for the future. The next
time that same infectious agent comes around, the body will use its
memory of the first experience so that it can react faster. But after a
vaccine, when the natural microorganism comes along later, the body
will act according to how it was programmed by the vaccination and that
is what is meant by original antigenic sin (OAS).” -In the first 2-3 years of life, (including during pregnancy), the
baby’s immune system is set at a default position requiring a
non-inflammatory state in order to protect the developing brain. When
this essential non-inflammatory state is perturbed by excessive
inflammation triggered by multiple courses of vaccines in the early
years of life, the resulting chaos can permanently alter and sabotage
the normal blueprint of brain and immune system development. The
fundamental research to help parents understand this basic biology and
learn how to protect their children’s health from government and big
pharma overreach can be found at these sources:
-Nature has already provided us with the ability to protect our young.
Breastfeeding in the first two years of life provides the child with THE
critical immunological lifeline that has evolved over millennia to
protect the baby from a myriad of infectious diseases. Breastfeeding in the first two years of life has been designed by
nature and evolved over millennia to protect the baby from a myriad of
infectious diseases. Breastfeeding insures the development of the
strongest and most resilient immune system that sets the stage of
optimal health for the lifetime of the child. Breastfeeding is every
child’s birthright and is the foundational key to restoring vigorous and
vibrant health in our children today.
