Supreme Court accepts appeal over vaccine safety
Washington (CNN) — Parents who say that a range of preventive vaccines given their young children can cause serious health problems will have their appeal heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices Monday agreed to decide whether drug makers can be sued outside a special judicial forum set up by Congress in 1986 to address specific claims about safety. The so-called vaccine court has handled such disputes and was designed to ensure a reliable, steady supply of the drugs by reducing the threat of lawsuits against pharmaceutical firms. The questions in the latest case are whether such liability claims can proceed, if the vaccine-related injuries could have been avoided by better product design, and if federal officials had approved another, allegedly safer drug. Oral arguments in the dispute will be held in the fall. The lawsuit was brought by the parents of Hannah Bruesewitz, a girl from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area. They said she was in fine health as an infant in 1992 when given a series of DPT shots — a combination of vaccines to prevent diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus. After the third series, according to court briefs, the child began having seizures and became disabled. Now a teenager, Hannah continues to suffer what is described as “residual seizure disorder.” The Bruesewitzes alleged Wyeth Laboratories failed to adequately warn them and other parents of the risks associated with the vaccine. The vaccine court rejected the initial claim, so the family tried to revive the lawsuit in the federal courts. Their lawyers said the 24-year-old law does not ban all lawsuits, especially those filed when the harmful side effects were avoidable. A federal appeals court eventually ruled for Wyeth, now owned by Pfizer Inc., concluding that all design-defect claims were barred under statute. Despite that victory, the company urged the high court to hear the case, saying it seeks final resolution on broader legal questions. The Obama administration also urged review and is supporting the company and the federal law in question. Wyeth and other drug manufacturers say their products are generally safe, but side effects can occur in very rare cases. They also say that the vaccine industry is generally not profitable, but that the health benefits for society in general have kept them in the business. For that, they say, legal protection provided by Congress is essential to ensure such drugs are widely available and affordable. The high court did not act immediately on a another related, pending appeal. The Georgia Supreme Court last year became the first appeals court in the U.S. to allow families to sue outside the special vaccine court. That case involved Atlanta-area parents who said their son Stefan Ferrari suffered severe neurological damage 12 years ago from booster shots, by Wyeth and GlaxoSmithKline, containing the mercury-based preservative thimerosal. Now 12, the boy is unable to speak, say his parents, Stefano and Carolyn Ferrari. The preservative has since been taken out of nearly all standard vaccines. Despite winning at the state level, the family has since withdrawn its case, but the liability on drug companies resulting from that decision remains in force in Georgia. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was passed to establish a nationwide strategy to ensure a secure vaccine supply, promote safety and future research, and compensate innocent victims. Those goals were listed at the time as a “top public health priority.” Lawmakers acknowledged the vaccine supply was suffering under rising company costs from potential liability claims. Despite Food and Drug Administration approval for the vaccines, companies said they were being driven out of the market. The special federal court created under the legislation was a liability shield, designed to be a reliable, relatively quick, no-fault solution to various claims. Unresolved over the years is whether and when certain exceptions to liability should be in play in specific cases. The case accepted is Bruesewitz v. Wyeth (09-152). The pending case is American Home Products Corp. v. Ferrari (08-1120).

Many people report health problems after injesting Aspartame, especially neurological problems. In fact, the food additive receives more complaints to the FDA than any other. What many people don’t know, is there are several names for the sweetener. Check your labels for not only aspartame, but NutriSweet, Canderel and AminoSweet. Same product – different names.

“Actually, one quick powerful note on Leviticus 19:18 – “Never seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.” Jesus quoted the underlined portion of this Leviticus verse as we see in Matthew 22:36-40: “”Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, ” `You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: `Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” “ One Year Bible Blog

The UK Government is seeking to rid itself of a billion pounds worth of unwanted swine flu vaccine — because the “deadly” H1N1 epidemic never materialized. Major drug companies may have pushed the World Health Organization (WHO) to warn that swine flu could be a worldwide ‘pandemic’ killing tens of millions.
But even more shocking is the fact that the scandalous waste of public money, and the wild overreaction which gave rise to it, were both entirely predictable. It has long been clear that governments all over the world, led by the WHO, were in the grip of a hysterical panic over swine flu.
In the early days of the panic, the BBC Today program brought in a WHO ‘expert’ to predict that 40 percent of Britons would catch swine flu, while citing another unnamed ‘expert’ as predicting that up to 1.2 million could die.
Yet eight months later it was being reported by scientists that swine flue is only a tenth as virulent as ordinary flu, and only one 100th as virulent as that Spanish flu at the end of World War I.
In other words, swine flu — just like the bird flu which a senior WHO official said in 2005 was going to kill 150 million people worldwide (the true death toll turned out to be barely 200) — has predictably turned out to be yet another example of that all-too-familiar and very dangerous disease of our time, the ’scare phenomenon.’
These scares consistently follow an identifiable pattern.
They invariably begin with some misreading of the scientific evidence, which then gets picked up and inflated into some major threat to human health or well being. But the tipping point of any scare, the moment when it begins to create serious damage, is when politicians and governments get involved, buying the exaggerated threat wholesale and responding with a deluge of measures which end up costing billions.

The Daily Mail January 12, 2010
The world has been subjected to a stunt for the greedy interests of the drug companies. Tens of billions of dollars were WASTED on the H1N1 vaccines, but the actual cost of the vaccines is almost a moot issue in light of the TRILLIONS of dollars that are being mismanaged on the financial crisis.
The more significant, and I believe the real, issue at hand here is not the money lost, but the damage that is being done to the population by injection of these vaccines. And now the precedent has been set for the government to institute vaccines for future fake or manufactured pandemics.
A ‘Fraudulent’ Pandemic
As you can see in this report I wrote in December, from Europe to Australia, to Canada to Asia, as well as in the US, the story was the same: people were reporting adverse events to the H1N1 vaccine in growing numbers.
Then, on January 4, 14 members from 10 countries in the Council of Europe stunned the world by calling H1N1 a FAKED pandemic!
In this motion asking the council to investigate the declaration of H1N1 as a pandemic, these members accused pharmaceutical companies of faking the pandemic and farming it out to the world, so they could fill their pockets with the proceeds:
“In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies have influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards, to alarm governments worldwide.
They have made them squander tight health care resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly exposed millions of healthy people to the risk of unknown side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines.”
The motion, spear-headed by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), goes on to say:
“The “bird-flu“-campaign (2005/06) combined with the ‘swine-flu’-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated patients and to public health budgets, but also to the credibility and accountability of important international health agencies. The definition of an alarming pandemic must not be under the influence of drug-sellers.
The member states of the Council of Europe should ask for immediate investigations on the consequences at national as well as European level.”
As this intelligently written article in the Daily Mail has pointed out:
“Swine flu — just like the bird flu which we were told by a senior WHO official in 2005 was going to kill 150 million people worldwide (the true death toll turned out to be barely 200) — has predictably turned out to be yet another example of that all-too-familiar and very dangerous disease of our time, the ’scare phenomenon.’”
Yes, the scare phenomenon … the scare machine … the fear mongering that took hold of much of the world last year as government officials spread panic in the form of inaccurate swine flu statistics and worst-case scenarios has turned out to be a major scam.
The panic spread not only through the United States, but also much of Europe. In the UK, chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson estimated that 65,000 could die, a prediction that sent the media into a frenzy. Wrote journalist Simon Jenkins in The Guardian:
“If anyone dared question this drivel, they were dismissed by Donaldson as “extremists”. When people started reporting swine flu to be even milder than ordinary flu, he accused them of complacency and told them to “wait for next winter”… It was pure, systematic government-induced panic – in which I accept that the media played its joyful part.”
When all was said and done as of January 2010, 360 people died from swine flu, while that is tragic – it’s a far cry from the 65,000 originally projected.
Paul Flyn, Vice Chairman, Council of Europe Health Authority even said in news report reported by American Chronicle that “the world has been subjected to a stunt, for the own greedy interests of the pharmaceutical companies.”
Writes journalist Christina England in the same American Chronicle article:
“He [Paul Flyn] feels that this has caused mass panic and the stocking up of a vast quantities of needless vaccines. It is now believed that the drug companies have deliberately mislead Governments to the seriousness of Swine flu, to make them stock pile vaccines, this has caused them to buy billions of dollars worth of vaccines from pharmaceutical companies including Baxter, Glaxo Smith Kline and Sanofi Pasteur.”
Why Did WHO Change the Definition of a Pandemic?
As I have said from the very beginning, this so-called pandemic was never a genuine pandemic in the true sense. It only became a “pandemic” because the WHO decided to change the definition in May last year to make it no longer necessary for an enormous amount of people to have contracted an illness or died before a pandemic could be called.
Instead, under the new definition, it doesn’t matter how many, or how few, people are affected. All a disease has to do to be labeled a pandemic is move beyond a few countries’ borders.
By changing the definition, nations were compelled to implement pandemic plans and to purchase H1N1 flu vaccines, enabling drug companies to pocket billions of dollars on fast-tracked, untested vaccines.
Millions of Needlessly Vaccinated People
This pandemic not only is NOT a pandemic, but is causing a great deal of damage to some vaccinated people, as well as to the credibility of our worldwide, public health officials.
Angry that the World Health Organization could allow itself to be influenced into declaring a pandemic that wasn’t, Dr. Wodarg is lashing out in interviews, and promising a full probe into the cozy relationships that appear to exist between drug companies and the WHO.
On his website and in this interview in PharmaTimes, Dr. Wodarg speaks out against the WHO, accusing the agency of causing panic about the non-pandemic, and of forcing nations to waste money on needlessly vaccinating millions of people:
“The WHO’s ‘false pandemic’ flu campaign is one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,” Wodarg said. “The definition of a pandemic must not be under the influence of drug sellers.
The ‘false pandemic’ campaign began last May in Mexico City, when a hundred or so ‘normal’ reported influenza cases were declared to be the beginning of a threatening new pandemic… (when) WHO, in cooperation with some big pharmaceutical companies and their scientists redefined pandemics.
These new standards forced politicians in most states to react immediately and sign marketing commitments for additional and new vaccines against swine flu. … In January we will arrange an emergency debate about the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on the WHO.”
According to an article in Bloomberg, these plans are moving forward. The WHO is planning to conduct a review of its response to the swine flu, and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has confirmed that “false pandemics, a threat to health” will be a major theme of its next plenary session, with a debate slated for January 28.
Here in the US, Iowa state Senator Chuck Grassley issued a letter on January 12 to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in which he too is demanding answers about the H1N1 vaccines.
In my mind, there’s only one more question to ask: If they faked this pandemic, and the rules were changed just to satisfy drug companies, would that set aside the companies’ immunity to litigation under the national Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, and allow lawsuits and possible prosecution for deaths or injuries because of this vaccine?
Government Reported Side Effects Data Through the Roof
Around the world, people who believe that they, or someone they know, have been injured by the H1N1 vaccine are forming support groups and posting blogs like this one in an effort to share their stories and have their voices heard about what happened to them.
Their stories include everything from miscarriages to tumors to fainting spells and neurological problems.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports are now beginning to show the disturbing truth about the 2009 H1N1 vaccines, which health officials swore were safe, or at least as safe as any other seasonal flu vaccine.
You can read them here on the VAERS website or here on the CDC’s website.
Or, you can go here, to medalerts.org, where Steven Rubin, who has a Ph.D. in Computer Science, has charted the numbers in an understandable graph comparing flu vaccine adverse events for 20 years and highlighting the months of September, October and November.
According to the CDC and FDA, an adverse event is a health problem that is reported after a person gets a vaccine or medicine. As of January 24, 2010, the VAERS database showed 5,400 adverse event reports in connection with the H1N1 vaccine.
Any Way You Look at it, Vaccine Side Effects are Extraordinarily High
“You will see that November’s numbers aren’t very high, but that is because this graph shows the month in which the vaccination was given, and many of the people injured by vaccinations given in November have not yet filed a report,” Dr. Rubin says.
“Since not everybody reports their injuries right away, and because the posting is always behind, the numbers for November will continue to grow through the coming weeks. But any way you look at it, the numbers are huge. They’re through the roof.”
When you look at Dr. Rubin’s graph below, keep in mind that the numbers are fluid – meaning they are constantly changing. Since the government updates ALL of its data weekly, going back to the beginning of when it started keeping adverse events records in 1990, Dr. Rubin re-calculates the events each week, too.
“I have been tracking seasonal flu reports (not H1N1) since August, and they show a flu season that started early and did more damage (in adverse event reports) than ever before,” Dr. Rubin said. “The November results confirm this.”

“There is an alarming red line on the right side that shows a terrible month in September 2009,” Dr. Rubin said. “This bar is nearly six times higher than it has ever been during September (2,203 events this year, as opposed to the previous high of 356 last year).”
To create the graph, Dr. Rubin combined the reports from both seasonal and H1N1 flu shots. That is because of the way the seasonal and H1N1 shots were offered this year, with the CDC advising not to get both at the same time. Also, it was impossible to compare H1N1 to anything because this was the first year for it.
“It is likely that many people stopped getting seasonal flu shots in October (when H1N1 became available) and switched to H1N1 vaccinations,” Dr. Rubin said. “So the right thing to do is to combine H1N1 and seasonal flu reports into a single graph.”
Doing this, Dr. Rubin showed that the damage from any kind of flu vaccines is through the roof, dwarfing all previous years.
“Critics will find two fallacies with my doing this,” Dr. Rubin noted. “One is that more people than ever before got one or both of the shots. The other is that, of course, combining the two will produce higher numbers.”
The point is, according to Dr. Rubin, that flu vaccines are represented here in total, regardless of whether they were H1N1 or seasonal. And I agree – after all, the CDC in August announced that it wasn’t keeping track of which flu was which, anymore, when it ordered medical providers to count every influenza-like illness as H1N1.
So it makes sense to combine the adverse events, as well. And those numbers are massive.
Reactions reported shortly after receiving the H1N1 vaccine range from a lung infection and swelling to miscarriages in pregnant women, along with at least one case of meningitis.
Ron Paul Eloquently Addresses the REAL Issues Here
“The more significant, and I believe the real issue at hand here, is the damage that is being done to the population by injection of these vaccines and the precedent that has been set for the government to institute vaccines for future fake or manufactured pandemics.
Is this a dream or a nightmare? Is it my imagination or have we lost our minds? It is surreal. It is just not believable. A grand absurdity. A great deception. A delusion of momentous proportions based on preposterous notions and ideas whose time should never have come …
Insanity passed off as logic.…Evil described as virtue. Ignorance pawned off as wisdom. Slavery sold as liberty. The philosophy that destroys us is not even defined. We have broken from reality, a psychotic nation. Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge replacing wisdom..
Money does not grow on trees, nor does prosperity come from a government printing press that escalates deficit that are being spent on a failed warfare and welfare system. A central bank that deliberately destroys the value of the currency in secrecy without restraint.”
The GOOD NEWS!!!
The reversal is achievable through peaceful and intellectual means, and fortunately the number of those who care is growing exponentially.
Finally, leaders of entire nations are recognizing how insidious Big Pharma’s influence is on the world’s policy makers, and are joining together to demand an accounting!
Until the umbilical cord between Big Pharma and the government is cut, healthcare/health policy reform will remain a dream. Until then, take what your government and your physician tell you with a grain of salt, and always read between the lines to find out the true motives behind any public health recommendations … especially those that are built upon fear.

Childhood temper tantrums, teenage irritability and binge eating may soon rate as psychiatric disorders in the US, according to proposed changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the bible of the psychiatric profession. The proposals are the product of a 10-year effort to update the handbook, which influences the vast network of American healthcare providers, insurance companies, courts, prisons and universities. At stake are billions of dollars in insurance payments, pharmaceutical sales and medical fees. “It not only determines how mental disorders are diagnosed, it can impact how people see themselves and how we see each other,” Alan Schatzberg, president of the American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the guide, told reporters. “It influences how research is conducted as well as what is researched. It affects legal matters, industry and government programmes.”
Does this just make you smile or what??? So sweet!
