Updates and Prediction on Swine Flu Immunization Schedule

Even though the panic over H1N1 is at a fever pitch right now, it likely that the entire issue will have moved to the boneyard of memorabilia with other vaccines. Policymakers have learned that these issues have a finite shelf life because of the short attention span of Americans.

We must recall that the commotion in recent years over smallpox, anthrax, SARS, and Avian flu lasted only as long as necessary for the drug and vaccine funds to be allocated. Once that happens, there is no longer any motive to continue to fan the flames of pandemic hysteria – a media campaign like that requires so much effort, and costs so much money to maintain, especially for a disease that never existed in the first place.

People that pay attention to the ongoing parade of emergencies that routinely appear have become desensitized to the urgency that’s portrayed. They remember that they survived the last emergency without an immunization and feel confident that they’ll survive the next one.

LICENSED and UNTESTED. This is where the clear and present danger lies in the current swine flu vaccine program and immunization schedule. The swine flu vaccine is being presented for dissemination among the public and beginning with children. Five of the manufacturers started doing their clinical trials in August of 2009. None of these vaccines are expected to be completed before next spring. This is a shocking lesson on the politics of vaccines. How could the FDA approve the untested H1N1 immunization just one month after testing began, on September 15, 2009?

The exact same sequence of events led to the swine flu fiasco that took place in 1976. 50 million received the immunization with the untested vaccine. This vaccine was responsible for 21 deaths and 565 paralyzed before being withdrawn just ten weeks later. Another vaccine was never added to the immunization schedule for swine flu. Why wasn’t another vaccine released? If the threat of swine flu was urgent enough to start vaccinating the public before testing was complete, what happened to the huge threat? Why was the toxic vaccine withdrawn and not replaced with one that had been researched and tested?

It’s becoming incredibly clear that the natural selection will be in favor the lines of the parents who are willing take extra precautions to protect the immunity of their children. Who else will come forward? The FDA, who doesn’t do any testing before making a decision regarding the immunization schedule, but relies completely on the research that the vaccine manufacturers have submitted to them; the same companies that stand to make billions if the vaccine is approved?

Will it be the CDC, NIH, or HHS that has political connections that are a matter of public record? Will it be the manufacturers that have been granted immunity from liability if death or injury occurs?

This is precisely what causes all the rush, the misdirection, and the hyperbole. They clearly understand that they will never have time to distribute a fully tested vaccine for the immunization of the public. Testing takes one year, but the imaginary disease will have died by then, with no hope of being resurrected. The market for immunization is here and now. If an immunization schedule isn’t rapidly set up, the regulators, manufacturers, media, and clinics won’t get their share of the big rewards.

Swine flu immunization is highly recommended to be done through your family doctor. Ask doctor about the immunization schedule, which may happen summer of 2010.
