How We Got to Now -Vaccine Nonsense

Video Transcript:

This is going to be a public relations, trust your government and your health officials, public campaign. You know, there's no conspiracy here folks. Just get your damn vaccine. Listen to our government agencies. These guys are telling the truth. Forget the conspiracies. Just get your damn vaccine. Just get your damn vaccine. Now, because of this flu season being so important, certain states, including our state, New York State, are actually making it mandatory for healthcare workers to get vaccinated against both seasonal flu and H1N. This is going to be a public relations, trust your government and your health officials, public campaign. It is very, very important, especially for healthcare workers because traditionally only about 40% of healthcare workers get vaccinated. And we are excellent. We are the vectors of spread for this virus. In addition, you don't want your doctor himself or herself to be sick. So very important for healthcare workers, we should strive for close to 100% compliance. There you go. Energy should get your shot in. Yes, absolutely. Yes, yesterday. Just get your damn vaccine. Well, we trusted the scientists back in 1976 with the original swine flu shot and it was a good buy. Now, some people died, some people, parents died itself. And people remember the swine flu vaccine as a terrible disaster. Remember the swine flu scare of 1976? That was the year the US government told us all the swine flu could turn out to be a killer that could spread across the nation. And Washington decided that every man, woman and child in the nation should get a shot to prevent a nationwide outbreak, a pandemic. Well, 46 million of us, obediently took the shot. And now 4,000 Americans are claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to $3.5 billion. Because of what happened when they took that shot, by far the greatest number of the claims, two-thirds of them are for neurological damage or even death. Dr. David Sensor then head of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, is now in private industry. He devised the swine flu program and he pushed it. Did anyone ever come to you and say, you know something, Thomas? There's the possibility of neurological damage if you get into a mass immunization program. No, no one ever did. No. Do you know Michael Hatwick? Yes, ma'am. Dr. Michael Hatwick directed the surveillance team for the swine flu program at the CDC. His job was to find out what possible complications could arise from taking the shot and to report his findings to those in charge. Did you know ahead of time, Dr. Hatwick? At the hand-man case reports of neurological disorders, neurological illness, apparently associated with the injection of influenza vaccine. Absolutely. You did? Yes. How'd you know that? Our review of the literature, what would you say if I told you that your superiors say that you never told them about the possibility of neurological complications? That's nonsense. I can't believe that they would say that they did not know that there were neurological illnesses associated with influenza vaccination. That simply is not true. We did know that. You didn't feel it was necessary to tell the con people that information. I think that over the years, we have tried to inform the American people as fully as possible. Listen to our government agencies. These guys are telling the truth. You know, there's no conspiracy here, folks. Just get your damn vaccine. Some major flu epidemics, millions of people are sick and thousands die. This year you can get protection. The vaccines are safe, easy to take and they can protect you against flu. So roll up your sleeve. Protect yourself. Excellent. One of those who did roll up her sleeve was Judy Roberts. She was perfectly healthy and active woman. When in November of 1976, she took her shot. Two weeks later, she said she began to feel enumnes starting up her legs. I joked about it that time. I said, I'll be numb to the knees by Friday. This keeps up. By the following week, I was totally paralyzed. So completely paralyzed, in fact, that they had to operate on her to enable her to breathe. And for six months, Judy Roberts was a quadruplegic. The diagnosis, a neurological disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome, GDS for short. This neurological disease is a little understood. They affect people in different ways. As you can see in these home movies taken by a friend, Judy Roberts paralysis can find her mostly to a wheelchair for over a year. But this disease can even kill. Indeed, there are 300 claims now pending from the families of GDS victims who died. Judy, why did you take the flu shot? I'd never taken any other flu shots, but I felt like this was going to be a major epidemic. The only way to prevent a major epidemic of a really deadly variety of flu was for everybody to be immunized. I don't want to have that kind of vaccination in my child yet until I know it's safe. 100% safe. You would be heartbroken if you did not vaccinate your child. That child got sick with influenza and found that your child was in the hospital close to death. But moms like Cory Burrow still aren't sold. I don't feel just because the government is telling me that I need to get this flu shot for her or my youngest, but I should go and do that. The challenge for public officials, convincing the public to heed their advice instead of a mother's intuition. Well, for more on how the United States is applying those very lessons, I spoke a brief time ago with Dr. William Schaffner, who chairs the Department of Preventative Medicine at the Vanderbilt Medical School. Dr. Schaffner, thanks very much for coming in. Everyone is talking about this swine flu vaccine. I gather you got a job yesterday in the trial. How do you feel? I did terrific. Actually, it hurt less than my regular influenza vaccine, which always tingles for about an hour or so. Dr. Schaffner, thanks very much for coming in. Everyone is talking about this swine flu vaccine. Everyone is talking about this swine flu, the concern is include possibly using chemical additives or adjuvants to boost the effectiveness of the vaccine. They have never been used in flu vaccines in the US, but have safely been used in others such as tetanus. It's also worried that some forms of the vaccine will contain thymarisol, a mercury-containing preservative. Thymerisol has never been associated in any valid scientific way with any adverse effect to the fetus or to young people. A congressional committee that studied the matter has already concluded thymarisol is directly related to the autism epidemic. It could have been prevented or curtailed, had the FDA not been asleep at the switch, allowing the untested toxic to be part of the vaccine recipe, something the committee report blamed on misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry. Some examples of the scientific paper he's talking about, a study of monkeys that showed vaccinated primates showed increased neurological disorders and non-social behavior similar to autism. Another animal study that shows the kind of mercury used in vaccines ends up in the brain and stays twice as long as the mercury and fish. A study of vaccination records which seems to match increased autism with increased vaccinations containing mercury. And then there's the circumstantial evidence. UPI found only four cases of autism among a community of 22,000 Amish people who generally shung vaccines. Statistically, there should be about 130. And it turns out that three of them were vaccinated and the other lived near a power plant that releases mercury. Thymarisol is preservative which was taken out of childhood vaccines a while ago because there was fear it could be linked to autism. Is being used in some batches of the H1N1 vaccine? Are you concerned that will keep some parents from having their children vaccinated? Thymarisol has been proven to be safe, is used in seasonal vaccine, seasonal flu vaccine, and again we want to assure people that that the scientists again have confirmed that there is really a safe factor with using Thymarisol. It's an effective preservative and one that we think actually adds to the likelihood that we'll have a safe vaccine for a while to come. There's literally hundreds and hundreds of studies that connect Thymarisol to these disastrous neurological disorders. I talked to the scientists and I talked to the federal bureaucrats who are defending Thymarisol. They said, what are you relying on? I looked at the science that are relying on it and I can tell you Joe, it is so weak. You and I have seen legal practice when junk science and we know what these phony scientists are who create this. It happens in Africa. It happens in this. This is happening in global warming. And now it's happening in a way that's impacting our kids' lives. This is classic tobacco science. It is junk science and I was looking at these reports and saying, this is what you're relying on. You know it's fraudulent. The scientists again have confirmed that there is really a safe factor with using Thymarisol. It's just like getting your damn vaccine. The US military considering a plan that could establish regional military teams to assist civilian authorities in the event of a major outbreak of the virus this fall. That's our what if worst case scenario. What if local police were not enough to quell crowds of people so panic to get a flu shot they turned violent? Well that is when they call in the National Guard. We're treating every situation as it's actually happening. We try to train as we fight. We say it in military. It's going to be loud and boisterous. I call some confusion. This drill is designed to look and feel as realistic as possible. Right down to the actual pepper spray had live tasers. These guardsmen don't know what to expect. In this drill the trouble is created by people showing up without proper ID or living outside the designated vaccination area. All potential real life scenarios. Ultimately the guard makes many arrests and is forced to shut this vaccination site down. This bill that recently passed the Massachusetts Senate says that if there is a swine flu pandemic and you don't get the swine flu vaccine you can be ordered into quarantine. If you refuse the quarantine you can face a fine of $1,000 per day that you resist. Many citizens are concerned that the bill's provisions will abuse their constitutional rights. Feed with your GCN the last latch. The chain looks like you're getting cleaned up there. Let me change to the glove itself. So either one. I have. Copy chain. You can translate back to the airlock or reminder to pick up your green hook on 1131 and also a reminder just from what I've seen in the pool. Remember there's that dead end of handrails when you get back over to gem. And also a reminder just from what I've seen in the pool. And also a reminder just from what I've seen in the pool. From what I've seen in the pool. From what I've seen in the pool. I wasn't playing with myself in the bathtub. I was just cleaning it and it went off. As a neutral buoyancy lab, simulate space under water. In a pool of four stories deep and so wide, we saw astronauts float and train on one full-size international space station replica.
