How in the world does the CDC determine, actually quite accurately, the precise virus that will become next season's flu agent and in sufficient
time to make enough vaccine to supply 250 million people (at 10 bucks a shot)?
Here's how it's done:
The flu season never starts until the flu vaccine is released and administered to the public. Generally speaking, the flu shots do cause an
immune response and antibodies are made to the material injected.
But some of those who receive the attenuated virus will make much more than
antibodies; they actually become carriers of the disease, many showing symptoms of the flu.
As they are infected, they become infectious to others. This may be due to incomplete attenuation. The resultant spread of the
disease far and wide by these initial inoculations hallmarks the beginning
of the flu season.
The real tragedy is in what doctors and the media tell the people about viruses in general; there is no treatment once you get the virus. This is a
boldfaced lie. During the height of the polio epidemic creative doctors were
curing patients with IM (intramuscular injection) vitamin C!
Even the industry has solutions to some viruses with drugs like amantadine and acyclovir and their spin-offs. A
whole anti-viral industry has been created from the man-made epidemic of
AIDS. Ah, but against the lowly influenza virus we have no hope?
We are constantly reminded that they "mutate." Common sense dictates against
this theory because viruses need live tissue to reproduce and thus to mutate, for which the infectious mutations would serve as a continual
reservoir of the disease - ever changing - ever present level of flu continually running in the population. But this is not the case.
To correct for this scientific anomaly, they tell us that viruses go "dormant" and wait
around until "next" season. Viruses don't have a season. They don't have
internal clocks. They don't think. They are not even alive.
It doesn't really matter what vaccine they make up for the coming flu season, so long as it is infectious to humans. In other words, the virus
must "mutate" (be manipulated) just enough to where people haven't already
made antibodies to it due to some previous exposure.
Over the years, probably because of public awareness of the dangers of vaccines, or maybe apathy, or maybe through a bad experience, many have
shied away from shots against this yearly epidemic (reducing profits), choosing to self treat (spending their money elsewhere) or put up with the
symptoms (cheap, but potentially dangerous for some). This resistance to
immunization for this yearly money driven, man-made epidemic is about to
change.
Looking to the future a bit, have you seen where England and US have recently unearthed the victims of the 1917-18 flu epidemic (millions died)
to "study" the causative virus?
There has been a recent report of genetic
manipulation using this deadly virus. If I was a betting woman and had no
conscience, I'd put my money in vaccine manufacturers stock. We'll see a
modified form of that one again.
