Mandatory vaccination risk: the facts

• On June 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the level of
  pandemic alert to level 6 – the highest level. This triggers various
  special powers at a local, national and international level and puts
  coordination under the control of the WHO. Some observers have
  interpreted this to mean that mandatory vaccination policies will be
  implemented and enforced across all 194 member states. That seems
  unlikely, but what is not in doubt is that laws are in place for this
  to occur, should authorities decide to do it. The following is from
  page 15 of the WHO

  checklist for influenza pandemic preparedness planning:
  “During a pandemic, it may be necessary to overrule existing
  legislation or (individual) human rights. Examples are the enforcement
  of quarantine (overruling individual freedom of movement), use of
  privately owned buildings for hospitals, off-license use of drugs,

  compulsory vaccination”
  (our emphasis). What is on paper is not overly encouraging for those
  who care about health freedom, but in most countries it is too early to
  say what will actually happen.

• The government of Greece has already announced a programme
  of mandatory swine flu vaccination for all of its citizens and
  residents, and its health minister has stated that there will be “no
  exceptions”.
• There are unconfirmed reports that the French government will implement a similar policy, backed up by martial law.
• According to the Natural News
  website: “In 2006, former President George Bush signed into law the
  Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP). It gives power
  to the Secretary of the U.S. government’s Health and Human Services
  department (HHS) to declare any infectious disease a “national
  emergency” and therefore require mandatory vaccination of the entire
  population.”
• The Massachusetts State Senate recently passed a “Pandemic
  and Disaster Preparation and Response Bill” that gives state
  authorities the power to order citizens to be vaccinated
  or quarantined, among other things. The bill still needs to be passed
  in the State House. If that happens, some believe it may be used to
  enforce mandatory vaccination. Penalties for those who refuse to comply
  with an order are reportedly up to 30 days in jail

  per day of refusal and/or a fine of up to $1,000 per day. 

• And in the UK a change in law not related to swine flu specifically, but relevant nonetheless: a statute that
  came into force on April 1 this year (The Health Protection
  (Vaccination) Regulations 2009) puts a body called the Joint Committee
  on Vaccination and Immunisation in charge of all decisions regarding
  vaccination. According to the UK-based Vaccine Awareness Network, “JCVI
  members have financial and professional associations with drug
  manufacturers. No action has been taken to curb this.” The explanatory
  note on the statute says, specifically, “These Regulations place an
  obligation on the Secretary of State to make arrangements to ensure
  that qualifying recommendations of the Joint Committee for Vaccination
  and Immunisation with regard to provision of national vaccination
  programmes are implemented.” Here are two news reports on this issue: “Scientists to be given power to decide on vaccinations” from the Telegraph and “Jab makers linked to vaccine programme” from the Daily Express.

Before we go any further, let’s look at the vaccine itself. Beyond
the reasons any vaccine is risky, this one has special risk factors.
First, it will not undergo the usual safety testing prior to being made
available. The various versions of the new vaccine (each contracted
pharmaceutical giant is producing its own proprietary cocktail)
are currently undergoing perfunctory testing on human volunteers, but
as the full effects on health may not be known for months or
even years, the fact these tests will run for around

six weeks before the mass vaccination programmes begin offers little reassurance.

Glaxo SmithKline is the main supplier to the UK government, having
been contracted to provide 60 million doses, with the first batches set
to arrive next month. It has been reported that the GSK swine
flu vaccine contains thimerosol

 – that’s
mercury to you and me. GSK is not the only company said to be
adding thimerosol to its swine flu vaccine. Worse still, GSK’s vaccine
will also contain squalene, and it isn’t alone in that, either.

Squalene is an adjuvant (a substance added to exaggerate the immune
system’s response to the viral material in a vaccine) of extremely
dubious track record. Another way to describe an exaggerated
immune response is “autoimmune disease” and squalene has already been
implicated in causing just that. It is believed to be the main culprit
behind Gulf War Syndrome (which shows up as arthritis, chronic fatigue,
multiple sclerosis and/or many other debilitating autoimmune conditions
and symptoms), after it was included in experimental anthrax vaccines
given to soldiers in the early 1990s. Even the pro-vaccination
mainstream media is reporting that this new vaccine sounds like an
insanely dangerous experiment.

The current official word from the UK government is that the
vaccination programme will begin when the first deliveries arrive next
month. The vaccine will first be offered to:

• frontline health and social workers plus members of the public aged
  six months to 65 years in at-risk groups, including people with asthma,
  diabetes, heart disease, renal disease and anyone with a compromised
  immune system
• pregnant women
• people living with patients who have compromised immune systems
• anyone over 65 in an at-risk group

The government has stated that all within these groups who want the
vaccine will have it by December and then it will be offered to healthy
adults under the age of 50, then to healthy children, then to healthy
older adults.

The US government has announced its own, different, order of
priority for vaccinating its population, and while there are stronger
rumours the US vaccination programme will be mandatory, they remain
just that.

Let’s take a moment here to reflect that while mandatory vaccinations are a travesty that

may
come to pass, it seems unlikely that anything will now stop the mass
vaccination of the hundreds of millions around the world who
will choose to have it because they don’t understand the risks, as well
as those who are unable to make the choice for themselves, including
millions of babies and children.

The extent to which the vaccine is made mandatory will depend partly
on the “pandemic” itself. Many believe this new flu – which has been no
worse than seasonal flu until now – will re-emerge in a more virulent
form as winter draws in. This could well happen, not least because this
is when most of the population is most chronically deficient in vitamin
D, which is crucial for proper immune functioning. But – good news –
the Southern Hemisphere has had its winter flu season since the
supposed pandemic broke, and it was no worse than any other flu season.

If the swine flu continues at this level, governments are
substantially less likely to enforce mandatory vaccination policies.
After all, every country would have objectors, and countries like the
US and UK would have hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The
Vaccine Awareness Network reports that 5% of the UK population does not
vaccinate at all, and another 15% selectively vaccinates. The
experimental swine flu vaccine is

 – to say the least

 – not
a vaccine for anyone who is selective about the vaccines they receive.
In fact, many people who would ordinarily line up for

every recommended
vaccination are saying they would not have the swine flu vaccine, which
suggests that well over 20% of the UK population

 – i.e. more than 12 million people

 – may say no to this vaccine.

But what will happen if this flu mutates into something that
justifies the term “pandemic”? That’s the scenario where the vaccine is
most likely to be made compulsory. The Canada-based Vaccine Resistance
Movement summed the situation up well:
“Regardless of what the laws or the charter presently state, or
politicians are saying, a declaration of “emergency” in regard to the
alleged H1N1 pandemic could change everything overnight, and we have to
face this possibility NOW. Based upon the constant pronouncements by
the WHO, various levels of government and their agencies, the media and
their so-called “experts” on H1N1 and the vaccine pushers, we must
accept an emergency declaration (essentially martial law) with forced
vaccinations as a real possibility and realize what such a declaration
might entail.”

The question is, in a scenario such as this, how far will
governments actually go in attempting to force the vaccine on those who
don’t want it? The Vaccine Resistance Movement mentions martial law –
i.e. military-backed mandatory vaccination – as a possibility, and
there appear to be provisions for exactly this in the WHO’s pandemic
legislation. As mentioned earlier, some believe that legislation
pending in the State of Massachusetts will be used to impose fines and
prison sentences on those who refuse the vaccine.

However, it is much more likely that the furthest most governments
will go in their attempt to force the vaccine on people will be
withholding certain rights from those who don’t have it. For example,
it is quite possible that before long (and until the pandemic is deemed
over), any travel requiring a passport will also require a certificate
proving you have received the swine flu vaccine.

The purported logic behind mandatory vaccination is that everyone
must be vaccinated for public health reasons so that “herd immunity” is
achieved. However, this makes no medical sense whatsoever, even for
those who believe in vaccination. If the vaccine works, everyone who’s
had it is protected, so those who choose not to have it are only
“harming” themselves.

The variables that will determine how this will play out don’t only,
of course, pertain to how many people sicken and die as a result of the
flu, but also to how many people sicken and die as a result of the

vaccine.
If there are multiple sudden deaths that are easily traceable to the
vaccine, as occurred with the swine flu vaccine of 1976 in the US, it
will be swiftly withdrawn.

What a disaster

that mass vaccination programme was. More
people died of the vaccine than of the swine flu, and 500 were left
with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a debilitating autoimmune disorder. GBS
attacks the lining of nerves, causing paralysis and breathing
difficulties, and can be fatal.

Astoundingly, the Health Protection Agency (the official body in
charge of public health in the UK) wrote to 600 senior British
neurologists in July to warn them to be on the alert for a
possible upswing in cases of GBS as a result of the new swine flu
vaccine. We only know this because the letter was leaked to

The Mail On Sunday by an unknown source; there is no indication the agency had any intention of warning the public about the risk.

The worst-case scenario of all is a flu that mutates into a more
virulent strain (most likely aided by the massive amount of virus
circulating thanks to the WHO’s worldwide vaccination programme) and a
vaccine that has next to no detectable adverse effects in the short
term, but serious long-term ones in many recipients (including,
possibly, GBS and all the autoimmune disorders linked with Gulf War
Syndrome, along with

who knows what else?) In that scenario, hundreds of millions of people around the world could have the vaccine before it is known to be dangerous

 – especially
as that is the scenario where we’d see the highest enforcement of
mandatory vaccination and the fewest number of objectors.

I don’t know about you but no matter how bad this flu gets, I would
rather take my chances with that than with an experimental vaccine, and
I’ll be urging all my loved ones to do the same.

No one knows what the short-term or long-term effects of
this vaccine will be. Not the pharmaceutical companies who are
manufacturing the shots, not the governments who ordered them and
certainly not the citizens who are being asked to take them.

The only guaranteed immunity associated with this vaccine is the
immunity both the UK and US governments are reported to have given the
pharmaceutical companies from the almost inevitable lawsuits that will
be launched by those who are injured by the vaccine and the families of
those killed.

One hopeful sign in the UK is that in two recent surveys of GPs,
over half of those polled either said they will refuse the vaccine or
that they are undecided. In one poll 29% stated they would not have it;
in the other that figure was 49%. Under the UK’s priority system
doctors will be among the first to be offered the vaccine, and it is
hard to imagine the UK government forcing thousands of doctors to be
vaccinated against their will, either then or at a later stage. This is
highly unlikely to be a UK phenomenon; presumably these figures are
indicative of the numbers of doctors and other medical professionals in 

all countries
who will refuse the vaccine. And if a large proportion of the medical
profession says no to it, it is highly unlikely any government will
attempt to force it on the rest of the population.  

In summary, although the situation doesn’t look good on paper, there
are many reasons to be optimistic. We believe the most likely outcome
of all is that this vaccine will remain a matter of choice. Even if it
is (or already has been) declared “mandatory” by your country, it
remains unlikely that it will be forced on anyone who is prepared to
stand up for their unalienable right to choose what goes into their
body.

We will provide updates to this situation as and when we receive
further information. We will also shortly be publishing a guide to
boosting immunity during the coming winter months.
