Hmmm…where’d you find this?

When you vaccinate 45 million people, there will be break-outs of number of disorders at any given time. More than a few die. This happens when they DON’T vaccinate, too.

This happens every time India does a vaccination campaign. For example, they give out a few million polio drops and, of course, a few thousand people immediately get sick or die. Naturally, they blame the polio drops and attack public health officials in the press.

Ironically, nobody gets blamed for polio.

Wow, just, wow. No swine flue vaccine for me!

“Get the flu shot comrades” I said sarcastically. Take a shot that’s only been tested…oh wait it hasn’t. Don’t be fooled by needing the shot you don’t need it.

# 5 navgate said, on July 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am

Did anybody notice In the first clip when the doctor is injecting people with the same needle gun. Aww.. ignorance is bliss.

#3 and #4 before you jump to an immediate decision, consider that it’s not as straightforward as that.

Oh, the blessings of short span memory. I’m waiting for people to make lines to be vaccinated.

#5 Those are needleless injector guns

# 8 andrewj said, on July 11th, 2009 at 9:56 am

If I gain a lot of weight I might get the shot.

# 9 Alex said, on July 11th, 2009 at 10:11 am

You guys got it all wrong, you need to scam the system. Take out a huge insurance policy covering all this stuff…then take the swine flu shot. Your family will live in luxury the rest of their lives (even though you get crippled).

# 10 Abe Vigoda said, on July 11th, 2009 at 10:35 am

I’m sure glad the government and the butt-covering politicians have my individual interests and protection in mind. Give me more government, now! Thank God for Obama, he’ll save us.

Shoot up the very virus you don’t want to catch up in your veins so that you are protected from it. Yea sure that makes a lot of sense. How can people be so stupid. Hitler did this kind of crap. How about go crash your car into a light pole in order to protect your self from car crashes. Hit yourself in the head to protect yourself from hits. Shoot up viruses in your veins, what a concept. Don’t even start with me on “they don’t use live virus”, all viruses are not-living already.

Here is the full interview in one piece.
CBS “60 MINUTES” segment regarding The Swine Flu epidemic of 1976 in the U.S. It aired once.

Vaccines, The Benefits, The Risk, The Choices

Vaccines are not safe nor are they effective.

They are not the reason disease rates are low today.

The assumptions upon which immunization theory and practice are based are unproved or have been proven false in their application

Dangers of childhood diseases are greatly exaggerated in order to scare parents into compliance with a questionable but highly profitable procedure.

The polio vaccine temporarily reversed disease declines that were underway before the vaccine was introduced; this fact was deliberately covered up by health authorities. In Europe, polio declined in countries that both embraced and rejected the vaccine.

The long term adverse effects of vaccinations have been ignored in spite of compelling correlations with many serious chronic conditions. Doctors can’t explain the dramatic rise in many of these diseases.

An untested vaccine had ill effects in a small percentage of the population? Doctors swapped the tested vaccine strain with another one which had failed clinical trials? The CDC covered it’s butt and ran for federal protection? After all this, all I can say is how utterly hot, Mary Tyler Moore was in the 70’s.

# 18 John C Dvorak said, on July 11th, 2009 at 11:48 am

#5 that wasn’t a needle gun…it was a device they used to use when i was a kid..it was a very high pressure jet. If you accidentally pulled away from it the jet would rip up your arm. You had to make sure to lean into the thing.

# 19 CrankyGrump said, on July 11th, 2009 at 11:54 am

None of you people have any idea what you’re talking about. None of you.

# 20 Ah_Yea said, on July 11th, 2009 at 11:56 am

#9, game the system by buying stock in the company which makes the vaccine!

The one thing the video didn’t address, which I would have found most interesting, is who made all the money.

Here is how I bet it all happened.

Someone gets sick with a new flu.

Vaccine producer gets the ear of a politician, and politician raises the alarm that this could be the next pandemic.

The Government purchases untold millions of shots from the vaccine producer.

Vaccine producer therefore makes money. A lot of money.

Politicians Political Action Committees receives a huge donation.

And on it goes…

# 23 nethound said, on July 11th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Didn’t we just see a story on Americans not understanding science?

I usually get a flu shot, however it they try to make it mandatory I may object just on principle. I can make my own decisions about my health, thank you very much gov’ment.

#19 has it. We don’t know what we are talking about so it’s like politics. You pick somebody you trust and natural selection removes the losers who believed the wrong person.

I take flue shots and haven’t had the flue in decades. There may not even be a connection.

# 27 dcphill said, on July 11th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Do not get an inoculation unless it is personnaly prescribed by a person who is licensed to practice medicine. Be skeptical of assertions
that this is for your own good. If your doctor
can’t give you a straight answer about efficacy
or adverse effects then seek advice from someone who is competent to first do no harm.
Our government is not licensed to practice medicine!!

# 28 eduardo said, on July 11th, 2009 at 2:59 pm

I will take it once it is proven safe and effective by a randomize clinical trial (usually takes a couple of years to complete). So may be it will be save to take in 2011.

# 29 poopsushi said, on July 11th, 2009 at 9:59 pm

Oh yeah…this is also when they went ahead and introduced HIV in the United States as well.

If you’re not a person who knows how to download videos from youtube, now is a great time to become one – it’s easy! Just google around and you’ll find a complete line of free utilities that allow you to do it.

Then, save these two videos.

And then we’ll all just keep finding places to repost ‘em.

In Canada there was an similar hysterical reaction from the government.

Marc Lalonde, who as federal health minister in 1976 ordered some 10 million doses of vaccine.

“Ah, mon Dieu, that was the time I threw away $10-million,”

# 32 noname said, on July 12th, 2009 at 11:00 am

Some things just never change. They had butt-covering bureaucrats and politicians then too.

# 33 JOe said, on July 12th, 2009 at 11:08 am

There was an illegal immigrant posing as a doctor in Houston 2 years ago and charged people 20 bucks for a “flu shot” that was water and sugar. He convinced a major company there that he could do the shots for it’s workers and they let him do it and he got busted. But since Houston is a “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants….he disappeared with the money to Mexico after he posted “bond”. He made about $200,000 U.S. in a week and split.

This doesn’t mean flu shots are bad, its just that corporations and governments are corrupt.

# 37 kellstr said, on July 14th, 2009 at 1:55 pm

I have no problem with getting flu shots. I am usually the first to recommend them to friends. But in this case the public was lied to about the vaccine given out. If there is a similar campaign for the current flu I will not get it.

# 38 seriously? said, on August 4th, 2009 at 7:03 am

Can I just say that by buying into conspiracy theories and scare-mongering and doing the “trendy” thing by refusing to have your vaccines, it’s not only your own health (or your childrens) that you put at risk… The whole population suffers..
In a way, it’s fair enough to play so fast and loose with your own health if you are so inclined, but when you’re risking the health of the population (and therefore the health of my children), it’s difficult to just roll my eyes and dismiss you..
Number 11’s comment is just beyond comprehension in my eyes.. As difficult as it was to single out one exceedingly ill-informed comment to correct in that rant, I would just like to clarify one point.. Yes, viruses are non-living entities (in that they need a living host to reproduce).. The vaccines that are commercially available are either killed (meaning that they are rendered safe by inactivation) or simply consist of the important bits for immune recognition (meaning that there is no actual virus there)..
In reply to Number 14, polio was on the decline anyway when the vaccine was introduced, due to better sanitation practices.. Being a disease which is transmitted by ingestion of sewage, as society evolved and sewage treatment got better, it naturally declined.. The polio vaccine has saved countless people from death and disfigurement..
If vaccines are so dreadful for our health and completely ineffective, then why has there been a huge increase in cases of measles and mumps since people were terrified by the media’s portrayal of the MMR scare and started refusing their children the jab (the underlying “research”, by the way, was based on almost nothing… but that’s another rant altogether..)
For everyone out there, I would tentatively suggest sourcing your information from peer-reviewed medical studies, rather than a celebrity, hearsay or a natural health newsletter… It’s the only way to get yourself fairly informed with no bias..
Sometimes things don’t work, but independent researchers don’t lie.. If you are really concerned, learn something about evidence based medicine and critically appraise the studies yourself… Don’t listen to anyone uncritically; even me.. Find out for yourself and make your own informed choices…

“Can I just say that by buying into conspiracy theories and scare-mongering”

Yeah, because 60 Minutes has stayed on the air for 40 years pretty much by perpetuating ‘conspiracy therories’ and ’scare-mongering.’

Question Authority.

# 40 wesuydam said, on September 9th, 2009 at 4:59 am

That whole segment of the show is available here. Unfortunately, the new swine flu vaccine(s) look to be as bad as the 1976 version. The new vaccines are just as hastily produced and contain thimerosal and risky, non-FDA-approved adjuvants.

So it’s a crap shoot. If you don’t get the shot, you might get the flu and there’s a chance if you do that it will be severe, even fatal.

If you do get the shot, all the above apply, plus the shot itself could cripple or kill you. I’ll take a chance with the flu, personally.
