Default Vaccine refusals spur outbreak fears

KIEV, Ukraine — A widespread scare about vaccine side effects in Ukraine has led to a sharp drop in immunizations that could result in disease outbreaks spreading beyond the former Soviet republic, international and local health officials say.

Hundreds of thousands of fearful Ukrainians have refused vaccines for diseases such as diphtheria, mumps, polio, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, whooping cough and others this year, according to official estimates. Authorities have cancelled a UN-backed measles and rubella vaccination campaign funded by U.S. philanthropist Ted Turner, and will have to collect and incinerate nearly nine million unused doses in coming months.

“I never thought I'd see the day where perfectly good vaccines are being destroyed,” said Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for UNICEF.

Around the world, health officials say they are struggling with the repercussions of vaccine fears they call unwarranted and dangerous.

In 2003, imams in northern Nigeria fomented a boycott of polio vaccinations claiming they were a Western plot to make Muslims infertile or infect them with HIV. Authorities in Indonesia are discussing a plan to end childhood immunizations against a number of diseases out of fears that foreign drug companies are using the country as a testing ground. A budding movement of parents getting exemptions from pre-school vaccination laws is seen as partly responsible for a spike in U.S. measles cases.

Experts blame the Ukrainian scare on government mismanagement and irresponsible media coverage of an anti-vaccination campaign launched after the May death of a 17-year-old boy who had received a combined shot for measles and rubella.

Activists including members of the homeopathic and alternative healing industries blamed his death on the vaccination. Ukrainian authorities said they needed to investigate and halted the campaign to revaccinate nine million Ukrainians aged 16-29 for measles — a leading cause of childhood death — and rubella, which can cause serious birth defects.

The Ukrainian Health Ministry and World Health Organization concluded that the boy died of septic shock from a bacterial infection unrelated to the vaccine. But the ministry decided last month to terminate the revaccination campaign, saying there was no longer enough time to administer the vaccines before they expire this summer and that people would refuse the shots.

More than 4.5 million Ukrainians, mostly children, are vaccinated for a wide variety of diseases each year in the country of 46 million. Health authorities say spreading fears of immunization were largely responsible for an estimated 10-per-cent drop in the vaccination rate since May. “This threatens to lead to a spike in the number of infectious diseases,” said Lyudmyla Mukharskaya, the country's deputy chief public health official. “There will be outbreaks, especially among children.”

Ukraine has had two major outbreaks of measles since 200. Ukrainians aged 16-29 have proven to be highly susceptible, apparently because of an ineffective vaccination campaign carried out in the 1990s, when the country was in economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet Union. If Ukraine cannot revaccinate at least 95 per cent of the estimated nine million people who got deficient vaccines in the ‘90s, UNICEF says, the next outbreak could be even bigger.

“There are concerns that the measles disease could be exported to other European countries where Ukrainians travel,” Mr. Bociurkiw said.

Independent health experts say government mistakes were a major factor in the vaccine scare. Prosecutors briefly detained the country's chief public health official after the teen's death and claimed that the vaccine, which was certified by WHO, was imported into the country without proper authorization.

Dr. Fedir Lapiy, an expert in infectious diseases based in Kiev, said prosecutors appeared to have used the case to promote themselves and discredit political opponents. “It looked more like a PR campaign than a thorough probe.”

Ukraine has an educated population but rumours and misperceptions spread easily. Constant political turmoil and a devastating financial crisis — one of the worst in Europe — has fuelled mistrust of Ukraine's crumbling health care system, and authorities in general.

“It is sad to see the population of a country in the middle of Europe refusing to get immunized,” said Andrei Tulisov, an infectious disease and immunization specialist at WHO.

Ukrainian media outlets are numerous and uncensored but do not widely follow Western standards of fairness and accuracy. Some print and online reports alleged after the boy's death that the Indian-made measles and rubella vaccine would sterilize men as part of a plot by Mr. Turner, whose Washington-based United Nations Foundation charity paid for the vaccines. “This kind of scare tactic coupled with the death of the boy struck the fear of God into a lot of young people and parents,” Mr. Bociurkiw said.

Nina Zaichenko, a 25-year-old interior designer in Kiev, says she has decided not to immunize her year-old daughter, Dasha, against any diseases until at least the age of three. She fears the infant's body is still to weak to handle vaccinations and she does not trust the local health system to acquire and properly store high-quality vaccines. “The chances of a child getting sick from a vaccine and from the disease itself are equal,” Ms. Zaichenko said, an assertion experts say has no basis in the truth. “It's a hard choice for parents to make.”

UNICEF says it believes only up to 30 per cent of Ukrainians who need revaccination for measles and rubella would turn up if the campaign were restarted today. Only 400,000 people received vaccines before the campaign was stopped.

The Health Ministry says it will work to promote the need for immunizations among the population, and look for ways to launch a new measles and rubella vaccination campaign.

A natural way is to have diseases such as:rubella, measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough when you are a child. Then they are not that serious and your body becomes immune to them afterwards. I had all the mentioned above as a child and so did other children. No damage was done to my health.

Same here-it's part of the package it builds the immune system from early doors.

Until the medical and governmental establishment can be trusted, and not say, test syphilis on black people for 44 years and deny them medical treatment, people will be suspicious.
Added to this is TPTB total hatred of mankind that isn't in the 'elite' circles and the elites constant medication and f###### about with our food supply, you have a situation that will only snowball.

I trust the medical / elite as far as I can throw an elephant.

Yes indeed, you ever here the phrase "I love my country but fear my government". People are finally waking up and once this gets to all the soccer moms, hockey moms, and ,mothers in general , forget it, one angry bunch of mothers is bigger than any army of soldiers .

The whole thing boils down to the distrust of leadership in many countries as the politicians forgot who empowered them , only thing is the people havn't forgot who got them there and what road they have led them down . Score one for the good guys, pass the word.

Don't take this years flu vaccine, anyone care to chime in on that comment, that is my opinion , non-medical. I have never gotten a flu vaccine.

This might be a prelude propoganda publication for the time that there is an H5N1 "bird flu" outbreak... did you see the 12 part video ?...(ea pt about 10 min) posted elsewhere, Dr. Ott's?...

His presentation comes w/an invitation for anyone to come forward and refute it...he spent yrs in research.... bottom line is that the "bird flu" will spread via the vaccines given in the guise of protecting people! A must see video series

Yes I watched it , all of it and didn't they say that the vaccine would be produced in china? And also isn't it true you cannot produce a vaccine until the virus has established itself and then that would take 6 months to produce after that???? And couldn't that change again by the 6 months lapse.

In 6 months time you'll have the first wave dead. That video also explained how the fist influenza in 1918 got started, by vaccinations and then traveling to spain. It sounds like another experimental project back then too.

The premise being that a viral outbreak will run its course within 2 yrs, unlike say Anthrax, which polutes for hundreds of years.

The premise being that the bird flu is specific to birds only and only when birds are congregated in large numbers and a toxic element is introduced to make the body's terrain toxic, the virus (which is normally harmless) becomes the clean up committee. Imagine farmed birds, thousands...

That the first wave of draftees WWI were vaccinated w/ (can't remember exactly), then introduced to war gasses in the trenches which activated the virus in the vaccine.... bringing on the 1918 flu pandemic which burned itself out at the 2 year mark. All specifically designed to take out those aged 18-34, in their prime, healthiest of all people.

I can't recall just when it was, in the 80's maybe, a body was found & exhumed that had the bird virus, it was captured & human kidney cells were introduced to make it human specific for biological/eugenic intentions.

YOu have to watch the series, it's entirely eye-opening.
The best detailed explanation I've yet heard.

Good point pyrangello, my dad keeps having the flu vaccine even though I tell him that there can be no vaccine until the flu virus has struck. But he won't listen.

Okay i have just found this. EIGHT deaths have been linked to the cervical cancer innoculation


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EIGHT DEATHS LINKED TO LABOUR’S NEW SEX JAB FOR SCHOOLGIRLS




EIGHT deaths have been linked to the cervical cancer jab which will be given to every 12-year-old girl in Britain under Government plans announced last week.

Doctors suspect the jab, which protects against a sexually transmitted human papilloma virus that causes the cancer, may be implicated in 3,461 adverse reactions, including paralysis and seizures.

Last week Health Secretary Alan Johnson revealed plans to vaccinate all girls aged between 12 and 13 to cut Britain’s death rate from the disease. He said: “Prevention is better than cure and this vaccine will prevent many women from catching the virus in the first place.”

However, reports from the US, where the Gardasil vaccine has been used for nearly a year in some states, reveal that eight victims died soon after receiving it. The victims, aged from as young as 11 to 22, suffered blood clots or heart attacks.
Thousands of side effects have also been linked, many serious. These include 15 cases of paralysis and 239 cases of temporary loss of consciousness. Other suspected reactions include convulsions and numbness.

In one case Jessica Vega, 14, from Gardnerville, California, became paralysed from the knees down after a booster shot of Gardasil in May.

Jessica, who has two older brothers and enjoys horse-riding and football, had been sitting in a school lesson and started feeling weak.

She could barely walk to the car by the end of the day and late that afternoon she was rushed to hospital. “I was getting weak, it felt weird to walk and to open the car door,” she said.

Although the cause has not been officially determined, her paralysis is a known and rare side effect of the vaccine and doctors have indicated this may be the cause.

In June, Shannon Nelson, 18, an athlete and artist from Chicago, received Gardasil with vaccines against meningitis and chickenpox. Within days she developed tingling, numbness and muscle weakness.

Her symptoms worsened and weeks later she could barely walk or raise her arms. She became paralysed on July 5. The paralysis lasted for two months and she is still recovering. “I couldn’t sit up in bed, I could not lift up my arms,” she said.

Of 42 women who received the vaccine while pregnant, 18 have been reported to have experienced side effects ranging from spontaneous abortion to foetal abnormalities.

The reports, mostly made by doctors and other health professionals, were logged with the US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, co-sponsored by the powerful Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Back in Britain, Jackie Fletcher, of Warrington, is the founder of Jabs, a support group for parents who believe their children have been damaged by vaccines.

She said: “We’re talking about a new vaccine. It has been used in the States and already there are reports of deaths and serious reactions.

“There are too many uncertainties. The vaccine should not be used until all these reports have been properly investigated and it’s been shown to be safe over long-term trials.”

She said a safer alternative would be to give smear tests, which pick up early signs of cervical cancer.

Dr John Oakley, a west Midlands GP, said the trials for Gardasil had been so limited that the children taking it would be like “guinea-pigs”.

Gardasil, which costs ÂŁ300 a dose, was approved for use in the US in June 2006 and since then has been in widespread use throughout America.

Tom Fitton, head of US health lobby group Judicial Watch, said: “The adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine reads like a catalogue of horrors. Any state or local government now beset by lobbying campaigns to mandate this vaccine for young girls ought to take a look at these adverse health reports. It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side effects is being pushed as a miracle drug.”

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in Britain, killing more than 1,120 every year. The UK vaccine programme is scheduled to begin next September for all girls up to the age of 18.

“We need to make the NHS a service that prevents ill-health and prioritises keeping people well,” said Mr Johnson.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said long-term safety trials had shown Gardasil was safe.

She said: “Given that this vaccine will save the lives of around 400 women each year and, in the absence of any scientific evidence that points to safety concerns, it would be irresponsible to raise inappropriate public fears over vaccine safety.”

Nicholas Kitchin, medical director of Sanofi Pasteur MSD, which manufactures the vaccine, said: “There is no good evidence to show the events were linked with the vaccine. “Some of the reports are not even valid. Over 13 million doses have been distributed worldwide and extensive monitoring has shown it to be safe.”

He said just because someone suffered a symptom after a vaccine, it did not necessarily mean it was to blame. Prelicence trials and monitoring had shown the vaccine to be “relatively safe” with side effects that were mostly “mild and self-limiting”.

Yea NO VACCINES

I don't have any evidence that ANY of them are safe or of any use for health.

I've been trying to encourage people locally to do some research before taking a vaccine but most believe they are safe because scientists say so

Maybe if you tell him that after several years of flu shots, your risk for Alzheimer's skyrockets ... maybe something like that would make an impression.

Hi Karen. Theres a friend of mine with a little baby who has remained vaccine free since birth. Three things have happend.

1) The baby is bigger, stronger and healthier than 99% of all children her age in the neighbourhood and inside the midwifes catchment area.

2) The Drs strike the parents (my friends) from their lists because the parents both dug in their heels and said 'NO WAY!'.

3) People who see this beautiful bouncy baby say 'what? no vaccines? why?' and my friends take great time to educate them in what is usually kept from them. That doesn't go down well, and leads to point (2) all over again.

We have to keep this up, because sooner rather than later our very lives may depend on it.
