SMALLPOX\r\nVACCINE RESULTS ARE IN<\/b><\/p>\r\n
By Jon Rappoport<\/p>\r\n
DECEMBER 9. The first\r\nreturns are in on the smallpox vaccine. A recent multi-center US government\r\nclinical trial on 200 “young adults” has been completed.<\/p>\r\n
MSNBC reports. The\r\nvolunteers who got the shot were VERY healthy to begin with. One researcher,\r\nKathy Edwards, called them the “crème de la crème.”<\/p>\r\n
Okay? So get this. “Yet\r\nwhen she [Edwards] inoculated them with smallpox vaccine, arms swelled,\r\ntemperatures spiked and panic spread [at Baylor University]. It was the same at\r\nclinics in Iowa, Tennessee, and California.”<\/p>\r\n
Stats: After the shot,\r\none-third of the volunteers missed at least a day of work or school. 75 out of\r\n200 experienced high fever. “Several were put on antibiotics because\r\nphysicians worried that their blisters signaled a bacterial infection.”<\/p>\r\n
Wow.<\/p>\r\n
And look, smallpox is a\r\nVIRUS, and antibiotics DON’T WORK against viruses. So, in essence, the\r\nresearchers were inferring that the vaccine SUPPRESSED THE IMMUNE SYSTEMS of the\r\nvolunteers --- thus allowing bacterial infections to bloom suddenly---OR the\r\nvaccine was contaminated with bacteria to begin with.<\/p>\r\n
Researcher Edwards, who\r\nheaded up the study, said, “I can read all day about it [the adverse effects\r\nof the vaccine], but seeing it is quite impressive. The reactions we saw were\r\nreally quite remarkable.”<\/p>\r\n
When a researcher makes a\r\ncomment like this, you know some very bad things are happening.<\/p>\r\n
AND THIS WAS A POPULATION\r\nOF EXTREMELY HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS. YOUNG ADULTS WHO SHOULD BE AT THE VERY PEAK OF\r\nLIFE, WITH THEIR IMMUNE DEFENSES FULLY INTACT.<\/p>\r\n
Of course, this story\r\ndidn’t get much play in the press. But the handwriting is on the wall. Anyone\r\ncan see what’ll happen if they start shooting up people by the millions with\r\nthe vaccine. For example, people who don’t qualify as severely immune\r\nsuppressed by any obvious assessment, but still do, in fact, have reduced immune\r\ncapacity---AND THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE.---these folks will be AT GREAT\r\nRISK from the vaccine.<\/p>\r\n
This government study is\r\nKEY. Because later on, they will try to cover up the devastating effects of the\r\nvaccine. They will lie, distort, omit. But right now, here it is. Out in the\r\nopen. The results, for all to see.<\/p>\r\n
Let\r\nme tell you something. The CDC WANTED to release the results of this study. They\r\nwanted to go on the record now, before the stuff really hits the fan. They are\r\nvery frightened of being nailed for killing people with the vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n About the author: Jon\r\nRappoport has worked as a free-lance investigative reporter for 20 years.

This happens\r\nto babies, and many people who get many vaccines...and\r\nit isn't necessary dangerous, only a sign that\r\nsomething foreign has invaded the body.\r\n\r\nThey do not say how swollen--just the site, the upper\r\narm, entire arm?...or how high a temperature, and\r\n"spiked" is a pregnant word.

It was the same at clinics in Iowa,\r\n> Tennessee, and\r\n> California."\r\n\r\nYou'd think that Edwards was the researcher at Baylor\r\nfrom this article. However, Wendy Keitel was the\r\nprinciple investigator at Baylor, while Kathryn\r\nEdwards was at Vanderbilt. Robert Couch is overseeing\r\nall these university trials, including one near SF.\r\n\r\nTHIS kind of writing by someone by Rappaport, and the often\r\nreaction to it, are what I see as being the real\r\nproblem, and a problem that this author and the\r\npanic-ridden like him are perpetuating. \r\n\r\n> Stats: After the shot, \r\n\r\nThis is inaccurate. The vaccination is not a shot. \r\nIt is a bifurcated needle, dipped into the vaccinia,\r\nand with a droplet on the needle the skin is slightly\r\npricked a few times.\r\n\r\none-third of the volunteers\r\n> missed at least a day\r\n> of work or school. \r\n75 out of 200 experienced high\r\n> fever. \r\n\r\nHow many are 1\/3, and from which study? From what I\r\nunderstand the initial two groups at Baylor were 15\r\neach, with different dilutions for each group of\r\nAventis, and a third group of 15 with a full dilution\r\nof Dryvax. That's 45. Vanderbilt is studying 75-100 individuals \r\nhttp:\/\/www.mc.vanderbilt.edu\/reporter\/index.html?ID=2135\r\n. Iowa is using 95 as their number.\r\nhttp:\/\/www.uiowa.edu\/%7Eournews\/2002\/june\/0620smallpox-study.html\r\n \r\n\r\nSo, do the math...and try to figure out, what 200\r\nsubjects is Rappaport referring to, and which 75 had\r\nthe side effects? What constitutes the 1\/3 he's\r\nreferring to? Perhaps the 15 from Baylor who had the undiluted Dryvax...and were likely expected to have such a reaction? But then what about the 75 and 200 numbers...where do they come from?\r\n\r\nHe also doesn't say how many of these side effects\r\nwere proven to be due to the vaccines, how many had\r\nother reasons, and how many used the vaccine as an\r\nexcuse to not go to school. There is no evidence here\r\nthat makes sense.\r\n\r\n So, in essence, the researchers were\r\n> inferring that the vaccine\r\n> SUPPRESSED THE IMMUNE SYSTEMS of the\r\n> volunteers---thus allowing\r\n> bacterial infections to bloom suddenly---OR the\r\n> vaccine was contaminated\r\n> with bacteria to begin with.\r\n\r\nI don't agree. If you've ever seen a smallpox scab,\r\nyou know that it's hard to keep from scratching\r\nbecause it is so itchy. I know. I was inoculated as a kid, as was the rest of my family when we came from Europe. Kids all over the world have\r\nbacterial infections from scratching scabs and wounds\r\nthat aren't smallpox related, and are often given\r\nantibiotic creams and other measures to keep\r\ninfections from occurring. The above didn't indicate\r\nwhat kind of antibiotic and in what form, and to go\r\noff on half-ass information and make assumptions about\r\nresearchers inferences in a negative light only\r\nincreases fear, hysteria and the keeps the "panic"\r\ngoing.\r\n\r\n> Researcher Edwards, who headed up the study, \r\n\r\nShe headed it up ONLY at Vanderbilt.\r\nhttp:\/\/www.mc.vanderbilt.edu\/reporter\/index.html?ID=2135\r\n The study is one study, divided among several\r\nuniversities, and headed up by Robert Couch.\r\n\r\nsaid,\r\n> "I can read all day\r\n> about it [the adverse effects of the vaccine], but\r\n> seeing it is quite\r\n> impressive. The reactions we saw were really quite\r\n> remarkable."\r\n\r\nFunny, how Rappaport had to put the essential part as\r\na parenthetical, particularly since without the\r\nparantheses she could have been talking about\r\nsomething else altogether. She could have been\r\ntalking about the old Aventis vaccine which hadn't\r\nbeen used for ages, and how well it worked. I don't\r\ntrust Rappaport's writing at all.\r\n\r\n> When a researcher makes a comment like this, you\r\n> know some very bad\r\n> things are happening. \r\n\r\nNot so, considering we don't even know what Edwards\r\nreally talking about or if Rappaport quoted her out of\r\ncontext,or whether it was even her quote in the first\r\nplace.\r\n\r\n> Of course, this story didn't get much play in the\r\n> press. \r\n\r\nAnd with that kind of journalism, it probably won't. \r\nMost respectable media wait until they have some solid\r\nfacts to report, not innuendos, conjectures, false\r\nstatistics and unusable quotes. \r\n\r\nDon't you find it funny that there is no other\r\ninflammatory article about these studies online other\r\nthan Rappaport's? Any other articles refer to his,\r\nand no respectable media types are pursuing his claims\r\nthus far. If they do, I'd llike to see some solid\r\ninvestagation behind it, because as it stands now it's\r\nonly suitable to be in some tabloid on the supermarket\r\nshelves.\r\n\r\nBut the\r\n> handwriting is on the wall. \r\n\r\nNot on mine, because I don't let guys like Rappaport\r\nscribble on my walls.\r\n\r\nAnyone can see what'll\r\n> happen if they start\r\n> shooting up people by the millions with the vaccine.\r\n\r\nAgain, the vaccine isn't a shot or an injection, and\r\nyou can't determine anything based on one person's\r\nbiased, inaccurate and inflammatory reporting.\r\n\r\n> For example, people\r\n> who don't qualify as severely immune suppressed by\r\n> any obvious\r\n> assessment, but still do, in fact, have reduced\r\n> immune capacity---AND\r\n> THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE.---these folks will be\r\n> AT GREAT RISK from\r\n> the vaccine.\r\n\r\nThis is why the research deals with the minimum\r\ndilution that can be given--in order to make it as\r\nsafe as possible and still effective. I still haven't\r\nheard anyone say it will be mandatory for even healthy\r\nindividuals. Also, immune compromised people are at a grearter risk for colds, flu, allergries, and many other conditions. This is nothing new and can't be applied only to vaccines.\r\n \r\n> This government study is KEY. \r\n\r\nAbsolutely, but we have yet to know the government\r\nstudy. Rappaport's rag is no government study. Once\r\nwe know the facts and not some compilation of\r\nhalf-truths and inflammatory comments. All we know\r\nabout right now is that Rappaport is unreliable and a\r\nprovacateur.\r\n\r\n\r\n> . They will\r\n> lie, distort, omit.\r\n\r\nYou mean like Rapapport did in his article???\r\n\r\nOkay, here are some facts about this study, amongst\r\nthose I've peppered this post with, so excuse me if\r\nrepeat something.\r\n\r\nBaylor is only one of many universities who have\r\nreceived NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and\r\nInfectious Diseases) grants to study vaccines of all\r\nkinds, including TB, and many more. Right now,\r\nseveral of the VTEU's are studying dilutions of\r\nsmallpox vaccines and what is the most they can be\r\ndiluted and still be effective. Believe me, when it\r\ncomes to NIH grants, the guidelines are so rigid for\r\nusing human subjects, that it is sometimes impossible\r\nto find people to take part. Simply picking some\r\nhealthy kids off campus, is NOT all there is to it. I\r\nknow. I administer NIH (National Institutes of\r\nHealth) and DHHS (Department of Health and Human\r\nServices) and BHPr (Bureau of Health Professions)\r\ngrants and pay subjects in clinical trials in nursing\r\nresearch all day long. I know the crap both subjects,\r\nand especially investigators go through to do their\r\nresearch. It isn't easy by any stretch of the\r\nimagination.\r\n\r\nIn addition, all research has to have a reason, a good\r\nand worthwhile one. Simply "shooting" kids up with\r\nvaccine to see how they will respond is not it. They\r\nare testing various dilutions, to do the least harm\r\npossible. Also, research subjects, especially with\r\nsomething like this, are compensated monetarily, their\r\nmedical care provided for, and it is all voluntary. \r\n\r\nIf you want more facts about the studies in\r\nparticular, here are some competent articles on\r\nrsearch on vaccines on young people done by the NIAID\r\nVTEU programs that Rappaport wrote about.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news\/pr\/mar2002\/hhs-28.htm\r\n(NIH\/DHHS)\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/content.nejm.org\/content\/vol346\/issue17\/index.shtml\r\n(April 2002 New England Journal of Medicine which\r\ndescribes tests in minute detail..)\r\n\r\nFinally, if anyone took the time to read Rappaports\r\nbio on his homepage, you may see that he is very\r\nlikely a guy with an agenda who fancies himself a Geraldo Rivera or Ralph Nader wannabe.. \r\n","author":"M.
