BIRD FLU VACCINE UPDATES

REALLY, REALLY SCARY "SCIENCE"!!

One of the latest reports on Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s Bird Flu Hype Web Site

May 17, 2006: CTV.ca | Officials mull using poultry vaccine on people The World Health Organization and others are studying whether it would be possible to tap into the global agricultural vaccine production capacity to help bridge the enormous gap between the amount of human flu vaccine the world can produce and how much would be needed in a severe pandemic. While the idea of giving people vaccine produced for poultry may seem, well, for the birds, the proposal - advanced by eager agricultural vaccine-makers - hasn't been dismissed out of hand.

COMMENT by Dr. Tenpenny: These folks are truly "mad" scientists, but every definition of the word! What will they think of next? SCAREY!

A Very Disturbing Vaccine Report
An Associated Press article dated December 15, 2005, by AP Medical Writer Emma Ross, quoted scientists at Sanofi-Pasteur, the French pharmaceutical company, as saying that preliminary tests on a prototype of a pandemic flu vaccine show promise. What does that mean? We must read the entire article to discover the disturbing details.

Further explanation reveals that the researchers added another ingredient to the developmental vaccine, which "seemed to boost the potency of lower doses. That would mean that supplies of the key element of the vaccine - known as the antigen - could be stretched further, allowing more people to obtain the shots in an emergency." The article goes on to repeat the "when, not if" mantra of "preparation for a possible flu pandemic, which experts agree is only a matter of time."

The Disturbing Details
Further down, the article reports that "seasonal flu vaccines, which combine the three most dominant strains, use about 15 micrograms of antigen per strain contained in the shot."

Now, read the follow-up sentence carefully: "Researchers found that the H5N1 bird flu strain - the one scientists believe is most likely to spawn a potential pandemic - is so alien to the human body" (think about that statement for a minute), "it takes two injections of vaccine using 90 micrograms of antigen apiece to get an adequate response from the human immune system." (!!) [Bold and exclamation points added.]

Question No. 1: Why is this strain "most likely to spawn a potential pandemic" if it is "so alien to the human body?"

Question No 2: There is already controversy among health professionals about the benefits of the current flu vaccines. They inject about 15 micrograms of antigen (plus other doubtful ingredients) into our body. It seems that any injection of foreign material should anger our immune system. But, it requires two, 90-microgram injections" of this strain to produce "an adequate response from the human immune system?!"

Somehow, that just does not sound good. If any of our practitioners are willing to respond to this, we will post their comments here.

Now, we find out one of the additional ingredients that were tested: "In the latest study, an ingredient called alum was added to the vaccine in an attempt to reduce the amount of antigen needed in the shot." Do we want alum injected straight into our systems? I’m not sure we do.

A Disturbing Admission
Near the end of the article comes this interesting statement: "Provoking an immune system response is not proof the vaccine will protect against infection, but it is the first step."

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO, the medical director of an integrated medicine clinic near Cleveland, Ohio, has the following posted on her www.birdfluhype.com site:

ARTICLE: What are the limits of adjuvanticity? Del Giudice G, Podda A, Rappuoli R.

"...Finally, adjuvanticity is more often evaluated in terms of antigen-specific antibody titers induced after parenteral immunization. It is known that, in many instances, antigen-specific antibody titers do not correlate with protection." Vaccine. 2001 Oct 15;20 Suppl 1:S38-41. PMID: 11587808

Her comment: PROOF! from a mainstream medical journal, that antibodies do NOT correlate with protection. --ST

More Problems
"The other major problem - the need for two shots spread over weeks - also needs to be addressed," the article adds. Perhaps, in light of the above, it might best be ignored and forgotten.

AND: "In addition, it's impossible to perfect a pandemic flu vaccine before the pandemic starts because the vaccine must exactly match the strain, which is unknown until it arrives." But, we’re supposed to be stockpiling vaccines now?!

Oh, but: "However, much of the scientific groundwork, such as perfecting the dose and the amount of antigen needed, can be done using another flu strain." Huh? Do you feel comforted?

The Point
We must dig for details and for comments by knowledgeable, qualified individuals who question the mainstream rhetoric. We’ll try to keep you posted to the best of our abilities.
