In Ireland the HSE are distributing 2 variants of H1N1 vaccine
  • Celvapan
  • Pandermix

They have various undesirable characteristics but some more so than others. The detailed documents are available from the HSE website. This is an attempt to distill the relevant information for your convenience and to aid your decision making process.

Celvapan

Celvapan is made using cloned “Vero cells”, cells which have been taken from African green monkey kidneys.

The information leaflet the doctors get contains the following paragraph with added emphasis…

There is currently no clinical experience with Celvapan (H1N1) in adults, elderly, children or adolescents.

The contraindications are complex due to the many TOXIC ingredients

History of an anaphylactic (i.e. life-threatening) reaction to any of the constituents or trace residues (e.g. formaldehyde, benzonase, sucrose) of this vaccine. If vaccination is considered necessary, facilities for resuscitation should be immediately available in case of need.

Celvapan contains formaldehyde which is used in embalming and is known to be highly toxic to humans, a basic Google search returns some concerning data. One quote from a Wikipedia article (not an entirely reliable source, I know) is as follows…

In view of its widespread use, toxicity, and volatility, exposure to formaldehyde is a significant consideration for human health.

And

Formaldehyde can be toxic, allergenic, and carcinogenic.

The IARC classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen associated with nasal sinus cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, and possibly with leukemia in June 2004.

Celvapan also contains Benzonase is specifically designed to destroy DNA & RNA, the primary information store and carriers of every human cell. Cancer is known to be caused by cells with damaged DNA.

Some facts from Merck pharmecuticals own FAQ on benzonase…

Benzonase® endonuclease is a promiscuous endonuclease that attacks and degrades all forms of DNA and RNA (single-stranded, double-stranded, linear and circular.)

This is an untested vaccine, the test results of a previous, unenhanced, vaccine were used to get it approved and of those 606 people who were tested with the previous, unenhanced vaccine the following side effects were noted…

Infections and infestations – Common: nasopharyngitis (viral pneumonia)

Blood and the lymphatic system disorders – Uncommon: lymphadenopathy

Psychiatric disorders – Uncommon: insomnia, restlessness

Nervous system disorders – Common: headache, dizziness – Uncommon: somnolence, dysaesthesia (nerve pain)

Eye disorders – Uncommon: conjunctivitis

Ear and labyrinth disorders – Common: vertigo – Uncommon: sudden hearing loss

Vascular disorders – Uncommon: hypotension

Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders – Common: pharyngolaryngeal pain – Uncommon: dyspnoea, cough, rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion

Gastrointestinal disorders – Uncommon: gastro-intestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and upper abdominal pain)

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders – Common: hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) – Uncommon: rash, pruritus, urticaria

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders – Common: arthralgia, myalgia

General disorders and administration site conditions – Very common: injection site pain – Common: pyrexia, chills, fatigue, malaise, induration, erythema, swelling and haemorrhage at the injection site – Uncommon: injection site irritation

Post-marketing surveillance – For cell-based influenza vaccines, post-marketing surveillance data are not yet available. From post- marketing surveillance with egg-derived interpandemic trivalent vaccines, the following serious adverse reactions have been reported:

Uncommon: – Generalised skin reactions including pruritus, urticaria, and non-specific rash.

Rare: – Neuralgia, paraesthesia, convulsions, transient thrombocytopenia. – Allergic reactions, in rare cases leading to shock, have been reported.

Very rare: – Vasculitis with transient renal involvement. – Neurological disorders, such as encephalomyelitis, neuritis and Guillain Barré syndrome. (terminal)

Celvapan also contains tromethamine under the brand name “Trometamol” and Polysorbate 80.

Polysorbate 80 has been linked to infertility but chemical companies are denying any clinical evidence exists. (cigarette anyone?)

Info from drugs.com on tromethamine follows…

You should not receive this medication if you have uremia (urea circulating in your blood) or if you are unable to urinate (such as due to kidney failure).

If possible, before you receive tromethamine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

  • kidney disease;
  • congestive heart failure; or
  • asthma or other breathing problems.

If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to receive tromethamine, or you may need dosage adjustments or special tests during treatment.

FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether tromethamine passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not receive this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Our HSE has assured us that this vaccine is safe for all age groups and types of people, pregnant etc. In direct contradiction to known data on the constituents of the vaccine.

Pandermix

Pandermix is made using the more traditional fertilised domestic chicken eggs method.

The package insert the doctors get contains the following paragraph with added emphasis…

It contains Thiomersal which is a mercury based compound. We all now that mercury is toxic to humans.

This from an article on Wikipedia about Thiomersal..

Thiomersal is very toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and in contact with skin (EC hazard symbol T+), with a danger of cumulative effects. It is also very toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments (EC hazard symbol N). In the body, it is metabolized or degraded to ethylmercury (C2H5Hg+) and thiosalicylate.

Few studies of the toxicity of thiomersal in humans have been performed. Animal experiments suggest that thiomersal rapidly dissociates to release ethylmercury after injection; that the disposition patterns of mercury are similar to those after exposure to equivalent doses of ethylmercury chloride; and that the central nervous system and the kidneys are targets, with lack of motor coordination being a common sign. Similar signs and symptoms have been observed in accidental human poisonings. The mechanisms of toxic action are unknown. … it appears to be much less toxic than the inorganic mercury produced from mercury vapor, for reasons not yet understood.

Of course there is also no “scientific” evidence that Thiomersal is linked to autism, not one little bit.

(cigarette anyone?)

As with Celvapan Pandermix also contains Polysorbate 80.

Pandermix also containes squalene (AS03) which is used to “stimulate” the immune systems response. Unfortunately squalene is a key constituent of every persons nerve system and brain, and in some people this additive can cause their immune system to become confused and attack their own nervous system with terminal end results – (auto-immune response). Squalene has been linked to “Gulf War Syndrome” in combat veterans. The link is denied by the drug companies and the governments involved. (cigarette anyone?) Squalene has not been passed by the FDA for use in the USA.

According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia: “… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called “Gulf War Syndrome,” documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.

The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”

From the doctors information leaflet…

There are currently no data available on the use of Pandemrix in pregnancy. Data from pregnant women vaccinated with different inactivated non-adjuvanted seasonal vaccines do not suggest malformations or fetal or neonatal toxicity.

i.e. To paraphrase: “We haven’t tested this but we have tested other, completely different vaccines with no additives and no live virus so, … trust us. Have a nice day.”

There is no money in cures because you get no repeat business, but there is plenty of repeatable demand and thus money in treatment.

In the end your decision whether or not to take any vaccine is entirely up to your conscience and reasoning. I cannot advise you either way but I can inform you and help you evaluate all factors involved.

Advice

Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines:

  • Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system.
  • Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil.
  • Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you.
  • Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds.
  • Get plenty of good quality sleep.
  • Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection.
  • Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure, chemical-free soap.

One last thought…

We know we can trust our health care professionals.
