POLITICAL: FW: The Vaccine

[Guest guest]

From: ingrid@... [mailto:ingrid@...]

Dear Subscribers,

It is very hard to resist the temptation to editorialize and greatly overstep

the rules of netiquette, but I watch the test balloons

and try to gauge which way the wind is blowing and it does not appear to be

blowing the right direction yet.

" Yet " is a tiny word with huge significance. Much to my consternation, total

strangers are writing from all over the world for

advice on whether or not the flu vaccine will be safe for a pregnant family

member or grandchild. People are not getting the full

message so is it time to climb up on my bandstand and rant and rave some more?

Instead, I will urge you to read the transcript of a

CBS broadcast that was aired once and then swiftly taken out of circulation. I

also urge you to sign the

<http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/a-universal-declaration-of-resistance-to-manda\

tory-vaccinations> petition on the Care 2 web site:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/a-universal-declaration-of-resistance-to-mandat\

ory-vaccinations

The Care 2 site asks you to tell 5 friends about this petition, but I would like

to ask you to notify everyone in your email address

book, everyone in your family, all your friends, and even complete strangers!

Only please don't copy those emails to me!

Every day there are more and more emails from credible sources and hopefully as

the eclipse cycle energy mounts, there will also be

more whistleblowers with inside information. In the meantime, the transcript

follows below my sign off!

Blessings,

Ingrid

Swine Flu Vaccine

1976 CBS '60 Minutes' Transcript

Government Propaganda in Swine Flu Scare Causes Many Deaths

Below is the full transcript of the 1979 broadcast from the CBS investigative

news program 60 Minutes on government propaganda

around the 1976 swine flu scare.The program was aired on Sunday, November 4,

1979. Only one person was killed by the actual flu,

while hundreds filed claims of death of their loved ones from the massive

vaccine campaign which was mounted. Key sections are

highlighted in bold. To watch this video clip online, click here. For more

Swine Flu 1976

MIKE WALLACE: The flu season is upon us. Which type will we worry about this

year, and what kind of shots will we be told to take?

Remember the swine flu scare of 1976? That was the year the U.S. government told

us all that swine flu could turn out to be a killer

that could spread across the nation, and Washington decided that every man,

woman and child in the nation should get a shot to

prevent a nation-wide outbreak, a pandemic.

Well 46 million of us obediently took the shot, and now 4,000 Americans are

claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a

half billion dollars because of what happened when they took that shot. By far

the greatest number of the claims - two thirds of

them are for neurological damage, or even death, allegedly triggered by the flu

shot.

We pick up the story back in 1976, when the threat posed by the swine flu virus

seemed very real indeed.

PRESIDENT GERALD FORD; This virus was the cause of a pandemic in 1918 and 1919

that resulted in over half a million deaths in the

United States, as well as 20 million deaths around the world.

WALLACE: Thus the U.S. government's publicity machine was cranked into action to

urge all America to protect itself against the

swine flu menace. (Excerpt from TV commercial urging everyone to get a swine flu

shot.) One of those who did roll up her sleeve was

Judy . She was perfectly healthy, an active woman, when, in November of

1976, she took her shot. Two weeks later, she says,

she began to feel a numbness starting up her legs.

JUDY ROBERTS: And I joked about it at that time. I said I'll be numb to the

knees by Friday if this keeps up. By the following week,

I was totally paralyzed.

WALLACE: So completely paralyzed, in fact, that they had to operate on her to

enable her to breathe. And for six months, Judy

was a quadriplegic. The diagnosis: A neurological disorder called

" Guillain-Barre Syndrome " - GBS for short. These

neurological diseases are little understood. They affect people in different

ways.

As you can see in these home movies taken by a friend, Judy ' paralysis

confined her mostly to a wheelchair for over a year.

But this disease can even kill. Indeed, there are 300 claims now pending from

the families of GBS victims who died, allegedly as a

result of the swine flu shot. In other GBS victims, the crippling effects

diminish and all but disappear. But for Judy ,

progress back to good health has been painful and partial.

Now, I notice that your smile, Judy, is a little bit constricted.

ROBERTS: Yes, it is.

WALLACE: Is it different from what it used to be?

ROBERTS: Very different, I have a - a greatly decreased mobility in my lips. And

I can't drink through a straw on the right-band

side. I can't blow out birthday candles. I don't whistle any more, for which my

husband is grateful.

WALLACE: It may be a little difficult for you to answer this question, but have

you recovered as much as you are going to recover?

ROBERTS: Yes. This - this is it.

WALLACE: So you will now have a legacy of braces on your legs for the rest of

your life?

ROBERTS: Yes. The weakness in my hands will stay and the leg braces will stay.

WALLACE: So Judy and her husband have filed a claim against the U.S.

government. They're asking $12 million, though they

don't expect to get nearly that much. Judy, why did you take the flu shot?

ROBERTS: I'd never taken any other flu shots, but I felt like this was going to

be a major epidemic, and the only way to prevent a

major epidemic of a - a really deadly variety of flu was for every body to be

immunized.

WALLACE: Where did this so called " deadly variety of flu " , where did it first

hit back in 1976? It began right here at Fort Dix in

New Jersey in January of that year, when a number of recruits began to complain

of respiratory ailments, something like the common

cold. An Army doctor here sent samples of their throat cultures to the New

Jersey Public Health Lab to find our just what kind of

bug was going around here. One of those samples was from a Private ,

who had left his sick bed to go on a forced march.

Private had collapsed on that march, and his sergeant had revived him by

mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But the sergeant showed

no signs of illness. A few days later, Private died.

ROBERTS: If this disease is so potentially fatal that it's going to kill a

young, healthy man, a middle-aged schoolteacher doesn't

have a prayer.

WALLACE: The New Jersey lab identified most of those solders' throat cultures as

the normal kind of flu virus going around that

year, but they could not make out what kind of virus was in the culture from the

dead soldier, and from four others who were sick.

So they sent those cultures to the Federal Center for Disease Control in

Atlanta, Georgia, for further study. A few days later they

got the verdict: swine flu. But that much-publicized outbreak of swine flu at

Fort Dix involved only Private , who died, and

those four other soldiers, who recovered completely without the swine flu shot.

ROBERTS: If I had known at that time that the boy had been in a sick bed, got

up, went out on a forced march and then collapsed and

died, I would never have taken the shot.

DR DAVID SENCER: The rationale for our recommendation was not on the basis of

the death of a - a single individual, but it was on

the basis that when we do see a change in the characteristics of the influenza

virus, it is a massive public-health problem in the

country.

WALLACE: Dr Sencer, then head of the CDS - the Center of Disease Control

in Atlanta - is now in private industry. He devised

the swine flu program and he pushed it.

WALLACE: You began to give flu shots to the American people in October of '76?

DR SENCER: October 1st.

WALLACE: By that time, how many cases of swine flu around the world had been

reported?

DR SENCER: There had been several reported, but none confirmed. There had been

cases in Australia that were reported by the press,

by the news media. There were cases in -

WALLACE: None confirmed? Did you ever uncover any other outbreaks of swine flu

anywhere in the world?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: Now, nearly everyone was to receive a shot in a public health facility

where a doctor might not be present, therefore it

was up to the CDC to come up with some kind of official consent form giving the

public all the information it needed about the swine

flu shot. This form stated that the swine flu vaccine had been tested. What it

didn't say was that after those tests were completed,

the scientists developed another vaccine and that it was the one given to most

of the 46 million who took the shot. That vaccine was

called " X-53a " . Was X-53a ever field tested?

DR SENCER: I-I can't say. I would have to -

WALLACE: It wasn't

DR SENCER: I don't know

WALLACE: Well, I would think that you're in charge of the program

DR SENCER: 1 would have to check the records. I haven't looked at this in some

time.

WALLACE: The information form the consent form was also supposed to warn people

about any risk of serious complications following

the shot. But did it?

ROBERTS: No, I had never heard of any reactions other than a sore arm, fever,

this sort of thing.

WALLACE: Judy ' husband, Gene, also took the shot.

GENE ROBERTS: Yes, I looked at that document, I signed it. Nothing on there said

I was going to have a heart attack, or I can get

Guillain Barre, which I'd never heard of.

WALLACE: What if people from the government, from the Center for Disease

Control, what if they had indeed, known about it, what

would be your feeling?

JUDY ROBERTS: They should have told us.

WALLACE: Did anyone ever come to you and say, " You know something, fellows,

there's the possibility of neurological damage if you

get into a mass immunization program? "

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: No one ever did?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: Do you know Hattwick?

DR SENCER: Yes, uh-hmm.

WALLACE: Dr Hattwick directed the surveillance team for the swine flu

program at the CDC. His job was to find out what

possible complications could arise from taking the shot and to report his

findings to those in charge. Did you know ahead of time,

Dr Hattwick that there had been case reports of neurological disorders,

neurological illness, apparently associated with the

injection of influenza vaccine?

DR MICHAEL HATTWICK: Absolutely

WALLACE: You did?

DR HATIWICK: Yes

WALLACE: How did you know that?

DR Hattwick: By review of the literature.

WALLACE: So you told your superiors - the men in charge of the swine flu

immunization program - about the possibility of

neurological disorders?

DR RATTWICK: Absolutely

WALLACE: What would you say if I told you that your superiors say that you never

told them about the possibility of neurological

complications?

DR HAJTWICK: That's nonsense. I can't believe that they would say that they did

not know that there were neurological illnesses

associated with influenza vaccination. That simply is not true. We did know

that.

DR SENCER: I have said that Dr Hattwick had never told me of his feelings on

this subject.

WALLACE: Then he's lying?

DR SENCER: I guess you would have to make that assumption.

WALLACE: Then why does this report from your own agency, dated July 1976, list

neurological complications as a possibility?

DR SENCER: I think the consensus of the scientific community was that the

evidence relating neurologic disorders to influenza

immunization was such that they did not feel that this association was a real

one.

WALLACE: You didn't feel it was necessary to tell the American people that

information

DR SENCER: I think that over the - the years we have tried to inform the

American people as - as fully as possible.

WALLACE: As part of informing Americans about the swine flu threat, Dr Sencer's

CDC also helped create the advertising to get the

public to take the shot. Let me read to your from one of your own agency's memos

planning the campaign to urge Americans to take the

shot. " The swine flu vaccine has been taken by many important persons, " he

wrote. " Example: President Ford, Henry Kissinger, Elton

, Muhammad Ah, Tyler , Rudolf Nureyev, Walter Cronkite, Ralph

Nader, Kennedy " -etcetera, etcetera, True?

DR SENCER: I'm not familiar with that particular piece of paper, but I do know

that, at least of that group, President Ford did take

the vaccination.

WALLACE: Did you talk to these people beforehand to find out if they planned to

take the shot?

DR SENCER: I did not, no.

WALLACE: Did anybody?

DR SENC ER: I do not know.

WALLACE: Did you get permission to use their names in your campaign?

DR SENCER: I do not know.

WALLACE: , did you take a swine flu shot?

MARY TYLER MOORE: No, I did not.

WALLACE: Did you give them permission to use your name saying that you had or

were going to?

MOORE: Absolutely not. Never did.

WALLACE: Did you ask your own doctor about taking the swine flu shot?

MOORE: Yes, and at the time he thought it might be a good idea. But I resisted

it, because I was leery of having the symptoms that

sometimes go with that kind of inoculation.

WALLACE: So you didn't?

MOORE: No, I didn't.

WALLACE: Have you spoken to your doctor since?

MOORE: Yes.

WALLACE: And?

MOORE: He's delighted that I didn't take that shot.

WALLACE: You're in charge. Somebody's in charge.

DR SENCER: There are -

WALLACE: This is your advertising strategy that I have a copy of here.

DR SENCER: Who's it signed by?

WALLACE: This one is unsigned. But you--you'll acknowledge that it was your baby

so to speak?

DR SENCER: It could have been from the Department of Health, Education and

Welfare. It could be from CDC. I don't know. I'll be

happy to take responsibility for it.

WALLACE: It's been three years now since you fell ill by GBS right?

ROBERTS: Right.

WALLACE: Has the federal government, in your estimation, played fair with you

about your claim?

ROBERTS: No, I don't think so. It seems to be dragging on and on and on, and

really no end in sight that I can see at this point.

JOSEPH CALIFANO: With respect to the cases of Guillain Barre...

WALLACE: Former Secretary of HEW ph Caifano, too was disturbed that there

was no end in sight. So a year and a half ago, he

proposed that Uncle Sam would cut the bureaucratic red tape for victims

suffering from GBS and would pay up quickly.

CALIFANO: We shouldn't hold them to an impossible or too difficult standard of

proving that they were hurt. Even if we pay a few

people a few thousand dollars that might not have deserved it, I think justice

requires that we promptly pay those people who do

deserve it.

WALLACE: Who's making the decision to be so hard-nosed about settling?

CALIFANO: Well, I assume the Justice Department is.

WALLACE: Bell, before he left?

CALIFANO: Well, the Justice Department agreed to the statement I made. It was

cleared word for word with the lawyers in the Justice

Department by my HEW lawyers.

CALIFANO: That-that statement said that we should pay Guillain Barre claims

without regard to whether the federal government was

negligent, if they - if they resulted from the swine flu shot.

GENE ROBERTS: I think the government knows its wrong.

JUDY ROBERTS: If it drags out long enough, that people will just give up, let it

go.

GENE ROBERTS: I-I am a little more adamant in my thoughts than my wife is,

because I asked - told Judy to take the shot. She wasn't

going to take it, and she never had had shots. And I'm mad with my government

because they knew the fact, but they didn't realize

those facts because they - if they had released them, the people wouldn't have

taken it. And they can come out tomorrow and tell me

there's going to be an epidemic, and they can drop off like flies to - next to

me, I will not take another shot that my government

tells me to take.

WALLACE: Meantime, Judy and some 4,000 others like her are still waiting

for their day in court.
