Resolved Question: Swine flu vaccine tested by it's makers, not even against a placebo?21 October 2009, 2:51 pmSo I've been doing quite a bit of research around the efficacy of the H1N1 vaccine. Basically I have found that research has NOT been done comparing the flu shot, or H1N1 vs a placebo. Surprising - to say the least. It is considered 'unethical' to test in this way. Yet, the Hepatitis C vaccine was developed using inmates, and this vaccine is widely used today especially by those traveling to various vacation destinations.
My question is this:
Why is the H1N1 deemed safe by the CDC, WHO, FDA, and research carried out and funded by the same pharmaceutical companies that develop them? These tests have not used placebos to compare it's efficacy. Basically what I am trying to say is that these vaccines should be considered 'unsafe' until independently proven 'safe'.
Secondly, are any of you aware of the slew of lawsuits against the same companies that are to produce these vaccines for you, your pregnant wife, children, and family? (Pfizter, Baxter)
In a recent settlement, Pfizer admitted to a felony crime and agreed to pay $2.3 billion in fines and other fees. The investigation of Pfizer reportedly turned up evidence that Pfizer engaged in kickback payments to doctors for nine drugs, including Viagra and Lipitor. (Naturalnews.com)
The FDA is to approve these medications, and so they are liable in these cases. However the FDA, pharma producers, and governments have already had legislation passed so they are not liable for damages from the vaccine. (This raises the issue of who is to blame of something goes wrong... Answer: No one you're SOL if you develop guillan barre syndrome, or gulf war syndrome from the last swine flu vaccine. (These are just two of the major complications, requiring significant medical intervention that arose from the last mass immunization campaign in the 1970's resulting of millions of dollars in compensatory pay outs for damages). The liability aspect raises a huge moral dilemma as no one is responsible) The FDA has also been scrutinized over the BPA (estrogen in plastics) findings showing increased insulin resistance (diabetes), hyperlipidemia (obesity), and neurological disorders (add, adhd), found in lab mice when exposed to repeated exposure to BPA. The FDA had approved this and are now being scrutinized by top international research scientists.
When will people realize, from past history, to not trust our governing bodies, and take care of our own bodies based on tried and true methods - not western medicine for long term use (ie: lipitor, viagra, vaccines).
Are other people waking up to the corruption in our governing health corporations, and realizing the possibility for money mongering by big pharma? The recent/long standing lawsuits, and admittance to committing felony by major pharma companies (both Pfizter for liptor and viagra, and Baxter admitting to over a 72 kilo botched H1N1 vaccine batch - that was never recalled to my knowledge by the way:s) prove that we can not truly trust them or their newly fast-tracked pharma researched vaccines.
Please let me know that we're not all turning into headless sheep... If you do agree with what I've learned, please let me know and we can all encourage each other to make informed research based decisions. Love to hear other info people have learned...
