After all the hype by infectious disease experts
who claimed that multiple doses of the H1N1 vaccine
would be necessary for flu protection, a sudden backtrack
in their nefarious science now concludes that one
dose will be sufficient and effective. What they don't
tell you about, is why a shortage of vaccines precipitated
this change and how conflicts of interest are running
unchecked promoting the new one-shot protection fairy
tale on behalf of big pharma.
Two-Dose Theory of Protection
Earlier in the spring, the World
Health Organization (WHO) stated the public would
need two doses to build resistance and get full immunity
against the H1N1
virus. "It was an assumption based on pure speculation,"
says Dave
Mihalovic, a vaccine researcher and Naturopathic
Doctor. "Since there were no human clinical trials
of H1N1 vaccines and subsequently no scientific evidence
at the time the WHO made these statements, there was
equally no credibility to ever substantiate the two-shot
flu protection theory," said Mihalovic.
Health and Human Services' (HHS) Dr. Robin Robinson
had said We are moving forward with making a
vaccine, and if the government proceeds with
a national program, enough supply will be produced
to provide two doses for all Americans. Spokespersons
like Anthony Fauci, from National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), claimed adverse reactions
arent to be expected and adding a second shot
for Swine Flu should not present a problem.
Some trials were initiated by mid-2009 to assess
the immune response of the H1N1 vaccine at two dose
levels in adults. NIAID is sponsoring two major ongoing
studies. The first was received by the U.S. National
Institutes of Health on July 21, 2009 for a Sanofi
Pasteur experimental H1N1 vaccine and the other
was received on August, 20, 2009 for a CSL
experimental vaccine.
Both trials are to assess safety concerns such as
the occurrence of vaccine-associated serious adverse
events. No results on the outcome of either of these
trials are currently available. However, regardless
of their conclusions, one must wonder if mass populations
will receive the exact same vaccine formulation as
those in the experimental versions.
Novartis,
a bio-pharmaceutical company that manufactures the
vaccine, has recommended that children participating
in trials receive two shots. A pilot trial of Novartis
adjuvanted cell culture-based A(H1N1) vaccine indicates
that the "swine flu" vaccine elicited a
strong immune response and was well tolerated. The
trial was run by the UK's University of Leicester
and University Hospitals of Leicester.
"Administering one, two, five or ten doses of
influenza vaccine is redundant... any quantity or
frequency of administered vaccines provides absolutely
no short or long-term benefits to human health and
offers no more protection than those individuals who
are unvaccinated. Unbiased scientists who are independent
of big pharma have well-established this fact. It
is a criminal practice to continue the facade of promoting
vaccines as protecting health when all they do is
destroy it..." stated Mihalovic.
A report in mid-July from JPMorgan estimated that
governments worldwide had ordered nearly 600 million
doses of pandemic vaccine and adjuvant a chemical
that supposedly boosts its efficacy worth $4.3bn
(€3bn, £2.6bn) in sales, and there was
potential for 342m more doses worth $2.6bn.
Shortages
On July 14th, 2009 there were reports that vaccine
manufacturers had hit a snag in swine flu vaccine
production. The viruses from which vaccines are produced
are grown in eggs, and the WHO said pharmaceutical
companies doing the work were reporting yields of
half or less of what they expected.
Health minister Yoichi Masuzoe unveiled a plan in
July 2009 to import vaccine for some 15 million to
20 million people to help cover shortages because
production in Japan was forecasted to fall far short
of the needed amount for up to 53 million people.
Last month, a spokesperson for the WHO said that Asia
will not have enough H1N1 vaccines for swine flu when
cold weather hits, Reuters
reports.
"Nowhere is ready ... there is going to be massive
underproduction of vaccines as compared to the needs
and demand," said Manila-based WHO spokesman
Peter Cordingley.
The US health department reports that 120 million
doses of swine flu vaccine will be required to protect
the population. Only one third of that number will
be available in October when flu season begins. Only
45 million doses are expected, although that's expected
to rise to 85 million doses by the end of October.
Dr. Robin Robinson, of the HHS was quoted in Reuters on August 18, 2009 stating: We're trying to bring on more manufacturing...hopefully there are ways to bring that number up.
Vaccine production around the world has been reduced
dramatically from original projections. Mihalovic
added that "it is virtually impossible for these
manufacturers to produce and deliver these vaccines
in the timeline they have proposed." It typically
takes several years from the point of initial vaccine
development to human clinical trials, a process which
the manufacturers claim is being done in months.
"There is no possible way they can assess the
safety and serious adverse events associated with
these vaccines in such a short time period,"
stated Mihalovic.
Promoting the "One Shot is Effective"
Fairy Tale
If production cannot meet capacity, why not change
the rules? Backtracking on original recommendations
and defying the expectations of experts, big pharma
has now managed to show that the new H1N1 swine flu
vaccine protects with only one dose instead of two,
so the vaccine supplies now being made will go twice
as far as had been predicted.
While the success of single dosing has effectively
halved the potential global H1N1 vaccine market, the
fact is there was never going to be anywhere near
enough vaccine to go around and vaccine producers
knew it, even in the early stages of the so-called
pandemic. One-shot programs are cheaper, quicker and
increase the bottom line.
This is definitely a big deal, said Dr.
John J. Treanor, a vaccine expert at the University
of Rochester. People had been planning for a
scenario that would require two doses.
One editorial accompanying the research out of the
University of Leicester said: "The obvious advantage
of a one-dose schedule is that in the current time
of vaccine scarcity it doubles the number of people
who may be vaccinated with a fixed amount of vaccine."
Australian shot maker CSL Ltd. published results of
a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that
found between 75 percent and 96 percent of vaccinated
people should be protected with one dose just
remarkable considering scientists thought for at least
8 months that it would take at least two doses. CSL
lists Guillain-Barre
Syndrome (GBS) as vaccine side effect of their
vaccine.
Novartis said a pilot trial of their Celtura H1N1 vaccine run by Britain's Leicester University with 100 volunteers showed a potentially protective immune response in 80 percent of patients after one dose and more than 90 percent after two doses.
It was Dr Iain Stephenson who led the trial at the
Leicester Royal Infirmary. He stated that "the
clinical trial of Novartis MF59-adjuvanted
cell-based A (H1N1) vaccine indicates that the "swine
flu" vaccine elicits a strong immune response
and is well-tolerated." Coincidently, it is also
Dr. Stephenson who has received funding from manufacturers
of influenza vaccines, including Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline
(GSK) for scientific research. He also received consultancy
or speakers fees and support for travel to scientific
meetings from Novartis, GSK and Baxter Vaccines. Conflict
of interest statements are littered throughout most
of the studies Dr. Stephenson is involved in.
In September 2008, Dr. Stephenson was paid by Novartis
to highlight that the MF59 adjuvanted vaccine induces
protective antibody levels against diverse strains
of avian flu. He stated that the results of that study
provided a "rationale to prevent pandemic influenza
by proactively immunizing the public with stockpiled
pre-pandemic vaccines containing MF59."
MF59 is an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax
vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating
autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War
vets according to data published in the February 2000
and August 2002 issues of Experimental and Molecular
Pathology. In most countries worldwide, MF59 is not
approved or licensed for use in any vaccine, including
the United States.
The MF59 adjuvant now readily used in H1N1 vaccines
was given positive and conclusive results last winter
through at least one
study with direct conflicts of interest. Almost
every single person involved in the study, including
Grazia Galli, Monia Bardelli, Carmine Malzone, Flora
Castellino, Giuseppe Del Giudice, Michaela Praus,
Angelika Banzhoff and Volker Brauer are all employees
of Novartis and have received support from vaccine
producers including scientific research, speaker's
fees, and attendance at scientific meetings.
Other affiliates in the study, Kathy Hancock, Katja
Hoschler, Emanuele Montomoli and the UK Health Protection
Agency have also received funding from Novartis.
"The bias involved in most vaccine studies is
overwhelming. Think of a serial killer investigating
himself for murder and you might get a rough idea
of how vaccine studies are conducted" Milhalovic
concluded.
