The Health Forum

A place for open discussions – with no cover ups – about health issues

By James Ong

Barely half a year after the world woke up to the threat of another potentially dangerous flu bug – the H1N1 viral flu bug – pharmaceutical companies have been working overnight to come up with vaccines for it and these have become available worldwide even as I write.  Our Ministry of Health has ordered 1,000,000 shots of it and are now offering these to first of all, frontline healthcare workers and next to the polyclinics and finally to private clinics.  It appears that there may not be enough to go around, so hurry!  If you want a shot, better tell your doctor about it and he will reserve stocks for you, so says the MoH.  But should you get the vaccine?

It costs anywhere between S$20 to S$30 to get a vaccine shot, similar to the regular flu shot.  I guess the ones that will be laughing all the way to the banks are the pharmaceutical companies.  Just do the mathematics.   A million doses at say, S$29 per dose (that’s what the polyclinics are charging), and that works out to S$29,000,000.  If they manage to convince the whole population to get the shots, then multiply that by four times:  more than S$100,000,000.

What we need to know that the H1N1 flu is not any more lethal than regular flu.  In the tropics, with strong sunlight, the flu virus doesn’t even survive long.  The number of deaths worldwide so far has been very, very small (about 5,000 according to the WHO, assuming those figures are reliable), despite all the fear-mongering and the fact that people have not been vaccinated against it.  In Singapore, those who died from H1N1 were either already immune-compromised or had other medical complications.  Did you know that more people die of malaria in the world each year than the flu (about 1,000,0000, that’s 100 times more)?  How come governments are not committing billions of dollars to protect the vulnerable from malaria?  How come we do not read much about the disease at all in the popular press?  And do take note that vaccines and flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza carry risks.  The evidence that they really work is scanty at best.  Besides, did you know that you can nourish and support your immune system so that you can fight off many types of infections?  I for one have not taken any cold or flu medication for 8 years.  So who says that you need vaccines and drugs to fight the flu?

Before you consider going for a H1N1 vaccine shot, I think it is advisable that you take a look at these videos by Dr. Lorraine Day (some of the things she says will probably shock you):

There is a series of excellent articles written by Evelyn Pringle on the Profit Driven Swine Flu Propaganda on the NaturalNews.com website that you should also read:

Two more parts will be coming out soon.

Be sure to check out the previous posts that I made on what you can do about the flu:

I have just read a short paper on why you should not get the flu shot, written by Dr. Joseph Mercola, who runs the world’s most popular website on natural health, visted by millions of people every day.  Much of what he says in the paper applies to the H1N1 vaccine as well.

Click here to download his paper:  http://balmofgilead.info/Flu-Shot.pdf.

Together with Barbara Loe Fisher, founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (USA), Dr. Mercola hosted an audio presentation on the H1N1 flu hoax.  I strongly urge everyone to listen to it and learn why there is no compelling reason to fear the H1N1 influenza or get the vaccine:

He has just launched a website specifically to warn people about the H1N1 flu vaccine and post updates on this crisis:

Finally, for this post, here are two Powerpoint/Flash slide presentations (with audio) from Neil Z. Miller, founder and president of ThinkTwice Global Vaccine Institute:

On the influenza vaccine:  http://www.thinktwice.com/flu_show.htm.

On the link between vaccination and autism:  http://www.thinktwice.com/aut_show.htm.

The bottom line is this:  vaccines are not safe.  They are medical procedures that carry risks of injury.  Hence, we need to make an informed choice whether the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.
