Govt. Researchers: Flu Shots Not Effective in Elderly, After All#android#iPad#retweet

An important and definitive “mainstream” government study done nearly a decade ago got little attention because the science came down on the wrong side. It found that after decades and billions of dollars spent promoting flu shots for the elderly, the mass vaccination program did not result in saving lives. In fact, the death rate among the elderly increased substantially.

The authors of the study admitted a bias going into the study. Here was the history as described to me: Public health experts long assumed flu shots were effective in the elderly. But, paradoxically, all the studies done failed to demonstrate a benefit. Instead of considering that they, the experts, could be wrong–instead of believing the scientific data–the public health experts assumed the studies were wrong. After all, flu shots have to work, right?

So the NIH launched an effort to do “the” definitive study that would actually prove, for the first time, once and for all, that flu shots were beneficial to the elderly. The government would gather some of the brightest scientific minds for the research, and adjust for all kinds of factors that could be masking that presumed benefit.

But when they finished, no matter how they crunched the numbers, the data kept telling the same story: flu shots were of no benefit to the elderly…

Warning: Gardasil injuries can have a permanent impact#retweet#Vaccines#HPV

vaccine science?

I write our daughter’s story to give you an idea of the permanent impact Gardasil injuries can have on a young girl’s life. My daughter has battled her injuries for over 5.5 years. Thank you for taking the time to read her story.

Before our girl got sick she was a high achieving student, an active member of the Student Leadership Council, a Scouts girl and a fantastic field hockey player. She got sick after receiving 2 Gardasil vaccinations in the beginning of 2009.

She has a Vaccine Injury and has officially been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, Hypotension (low blood pressure) and Tachycardia (high heart rate when standing up, to pump blood to brain), also called POTS.

At the moment, she still suffers from (extreme) fatigue on a daily basis, headaches (especially end of the day), her hands are sore with nerve pain and she lives with daily joint and muscle pain. Her ears pop every time she swallows and she has trouble hearing. She has difficulty concentrating when there is noise around her. Her feet are always cold but she doesn’t feel it. And that isn’t all of it…

Her days vary; one good day doesn’t mean the next will be ok. One good week doesn’t mean the next week might be better. Sometimes her symptoms come on quickly. A severe headache can appear in a couple of minutes.

In the last 5.5 years our daughter also had to deal with fatigue that made her a couple of times lay in bed fulltime for (6) months in a row, a constant (excruciating) headache that lasted 2.5 years (!), sore throats, swollen glands, chest pains, dizziness with black outs, weakness in her legs making it unable to walk without assistance, abdominal pain, muscle pain, brain fog, trouble concentrating and short term memory and gastro-intestinal problems. She picked up every bug that was around and had high temperatures about every 4-5 weeks.

After 2.5 years of being sick (and no doctor or specialist knowing what to do to help her) our daughter deteriorated so much that we almost lost her (mid 2011), she was too weak to talk, or even eat and drink. Her body was so toxic that her organs were shutting down. For months we were afraid to go into her room in the morning….

Neuro training, brain training, osteopathy, detoxing, a strict diet, supplements and more alternative treatments all helped to improve her health.

We have seen great results; she has had a couple of fantastic months…. until a relapse happens. We have also seen her deteriorate very quickly to being fulltime in bed again around September/October in the last three years. Each time this happens it is hard to get healthier again.

Because of being sick our girl missed about 3 years of her schooling. She wants to be at school but her body doesn’t always let her, which is very disappointing every time it happens. There are many times she needs to spend all her energy on catching up with school work. Through all of this she still wants to finish high school with year 12 and study at a University (she is interested in Political Science).

Next to missing out at school she struggles with her social life. She is lucky to have a couple of friends that have stood by her from the time she got sick, but a lot of people don’t understand. She always worries if people will understand her limits, when she isn’t able to stay in touch because she is just too exhausted or when she needs to cancel last minute. She is now 18 and still can’t do sport or a hobby next to (part time) school. She is not able to get a regular job to make some money like most of her peers.

Besides the physical illness, the stress of not knowing if she would ever get better, of not having a “normal” life, of disappointment after disappointment, of people not believing you, has been enormous, not only for her, but also for her younger sister, my husband and I. Gardasil changed our lives completely, we have learned to appreciate the little things in life.

We are very proud of our daughter and admire her way of handling all the challenges in her life. She has become mature very quickly in certain ways, but she has missed out on lots of experiences as well. We still fight hard to make her health improve more, we hope she will stay good for longer than a couple of months and keep our fingers crossed she will be able to accomplish everything she is dreaming of…

Through sharing our daughter’s story I hope that people research before they say yes to the unnecessary Gardasil vaccine. We trusted the system and thought we did the right thing, but the system has failed us.

Nobody wants to take the responsibility when this happens to your child. This “one solution fits all” system needs to change.

Please go to www.sanevax.org, or the Facebook groups set up for families injured by HPV vaccines. Do some research before you decide if Gardasil is a good choice.

Annette, I feel at a loss for words after reading the enduring trial you, your daughter, and family are living.  I ache for the lack of attention, and support for your family.

It’s ludicrous to have millions poured into marketing these girls, on their favorite channels, at school, and so forth, and then silence when they are injured by the Gardasil/Cervarix vaccines.  It’s a tragedy, and I hope, and pray that your silence is lifted, and you are received by loving arms of those who know what to do in these circumstances.

You have proven strong, and dedicated, and I Know that many will receive guidance, and warning through your words.

I am grateful that you have found the kind, and educated folks at SaneVax Inc.  They will have good advice, and I as well have a link to doctors that are experienced in this area.  Distance in most cases is not an issue.  Here is the link to my, Featured Doctors.

I know as you trust in your Father in Heaven, he will continue to guide, and bless you. 

I have little to give, but here is a musical gift that I hope you enjoy, and find some respite at this time. Your friend in truth, jen.

 

Gardasil: 5 years to the light at the end of the tunnel?#Vaccines#HPV#Health

Part 1 – The nightmare begins:  http://sanevax.org/shania-from-australia/

Part 2 – A promising update:  http://sanevax.org/update-on-shania-the-flyer-mandurah-western-australia/

Shania from Australia

It is now May 2014.  It was May 2009 when Shania had the first of the two Gardasil shots that ruined her swimming career and her life in the ensuing years.  (You can read about that in the links above.)

In 2014, the only obvious legacy from the Gardasil damage is a poor immune system.  But we are working on that.  Other changes…

This year she has been one of the first to catch the seasonal colds but unlike the past years, the colds have not all gone straight to her chest and given her bronchitis; neither have they hung around for weeks or months.  She is bouncing back more quickly, which is a hugely positive sign.  And she no longer needs her Asthma puffer either.

It has been said that the effects of the Gardasil vaccine may only last 5 years and that 5 year limitation is every Gardasil victim’s lifeline.  Here’s why…

It started last year – obvious signs that something was happening healing-wise.  Shania was in 2 major shows one after the other for starters.  She had the lead of Mabel in Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘Pirates of Penzance’ the first part of the year, and then she went straight into the ensemble of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ for the second part of the year (her idea of relaxation!).

THIS year, 2014, is her final year (year 12) at Senior High School level in Australia.  (Next year is University.)  This year, the DAY BEFORE THE COMPETITION, the Director of Sports at her college begged and pleaded with her to consider to swim with their relay team at the inter-schools competition, even if she didn’t want to do the individual races, just help them out with the relay events.  Apparently one of the swimmers had to drop out at the last minute.

Of course, she said no.  She’s had to say no every year since 2009. She hasn’t been in the pool racing since she collapsed in 2009. She hasn’t trained since she tried to go back in 2010 and realized she couldn’t.  The mind was willing but the body couldn’t.  And now, she’d been out of the pool 4-5 years and this guy wanted her to race?

But he persisted.  His argument was that even in her poor condition having not swum or trained for so many years, she was still bound to be better than somebody with none of her background.

Cutting a long story short he wore her down.  The College swim team had been training for months and had even gone on a swimming “camp”!  Shania’s only “training” for this event was a 40 minute warm up the night before the competition at the local pool.  I sat on the sidelines, a very worried mum because the last time she’d been in the pool racing was early 2009.

Next day at the competition at Challenge Stadium she swam in the relay team for the B Division of the College.  They put her in first place in this relay team – the first swimmer off the block.  To her and everyone else’s surprise, she gave the team a nice lead and a head start over the schools in the other lanes.

The teachers were so impressed they figured they’d put her in their A Division relay team too.  They placed her second in the team, meaning she’d be the second swimmer off the blocks. A new experience for her – in her past swimming life she had always been either the first swimmer (to give the team a good lead) or the last swimmer (to catch up if the team wasn’t in first place).  But she didn’t care.  She was happy to be back in the pool doing what she loved.

So, the A Division relay starts… The first swimmer went in and at the end of the first 50m leg, their team was in 6th place…  not a great start… better than 7th or 8th, of course, but hardly inspiring for Shania who had to follow this as the second swimmer.

She dove in and started swimming.  She powered up the pool from 6th place, overtaking all the other lanes and when she touched the other end, she’d put her team in first place with a good lead.  The Announcer said “Who on earth is THAT!”

The school sport director was celebrating.  He knew who it was and he’d seen it all before… albeit many years before!

It also heralded the moment when I finally believed that we were no longer in that tunnel looking at the light at the end… we had passed through it!  Shania could not have done what she had if Gardasil was still affecting her. And she couldn’t keep up this timetable either…

This year she is in her final Year 12 of school.  She is studying 5 TEE subjects.  Her homework schedule has to be seen to be believed!  Now she knows why some people only do 3 or 4 TEE subjects… she chose 5.  One of them requires filming on weekends and in her precious holiday breaks – Media…

She is also the College Cultural Prefect with additional responsibilities including having to arrange the Year 12 Ball.  She is also the lead, Belle, in the College musical production of Beauty and the Beast.  She rehearses 2-3 times a week and this includes some Sundays, like tomorrow – from 10 am to 4 pm, and then she comes home and has to knuckle down and do homework and study.

Plus she does a LOT of singing – she has to learn about 7 songs for her exams, plus she recently sang the National Anthem at the Peel region ANZAC Day Memorial Service, and has to rehearse 7 other songs because she is singing at a private soiree later this month.  She let piano go but only because she simply couldn’t fit it in!

Every Saturday morning, we drive up into the city a good hour’s drive away for her classical lessons, then zoom back home and then she goes to work from 1 to 5 at a news agency. Sometimes she goes to a babysitting assignment after that.  She also goes to the gym once or twice a week. She is burning the candle at both ends trying to study for Year 12 exams and all the assignments she has on her plate, often not getting to bed until midnight or after.  In between all this she squeezes in time to see her boyfriend and friends.

Does this sound like someone suffering Gardasil injuries?

Shania had 2 of the 3 Gardasil injections.  I believe if she had had the full 3 shots she would not be here today.  Things were so bad five years ago, I never believed I’d see this day.  Look how far she’s come!

I hope this gives hope to other Gardasil victims that they, too, might also get their lives back eventually… Shania is living proof that it can happen.  It HAS happened.
