Number of US Vaccines Now Highest in History
Back in Jan 2002, again without a peep of media, a new niche was tacked onto the Mandated Schedule: the High Risk category. Hard on the heels of 9/11, CDC said that vaccines in this new category would be for those with a propensity for colds and flu or for anyone else wishing to obtain immunity for the proscribed diseases. They opened with 2 vaccines: influenza and Hepatitis A. By serendipitous synchronicity, the medical journal Pediatrics that same month carried an article written by an FDA Advisory Board member, Paul Offit: Do Vaccines Overwhelm the Immune System? The article had a strange non-professional persuasive essay tone to it, almost as though it were written for parents rather than for the usual readers of a scientific journal. And it told us, yes, yes we know that it must seem like kids are getting a lot of vaccines these days. In this article we will estimate the total number of vaccines to which a child could respond to at any one time. The study's conclusion: each infant would have the theoretical capacity to respond to about 10,000 vaccines at any one time. This was not Mad magazine, nor a script for Saturday Night Live. This was a peer-reviewed medical journal. The timing was obvious: 4 months post 9/11. This was
the beginning of that year and a half when we were daily terrorized with
the threat of being forced to submit to mass smallpox vaccination, remember?
Amazing that after spending $3 billion of your money stockpiling enough
smallpox vaccines for every American, it was then discovered that the
vaccine was too dangerous, and the program was scrapped by Oct 2003. A
little research here shows that the program was never about anything other
than the $3 billion.
