Chickenpox

The newest vaccine to hit the market is the new Varivax vaccine (chickenpox vaccine) it is new to us but not the vaccine manufacturers they have been sitting on this vaccine for along time waiting for the right time to release and that is when most families have both parents working and making it harder for them to lose work time so this vaccine is a money making gold mine to these vaccine companies .

Now this vaccine is so new that it is in phase four studies at the FDA's request. What that means is this vaccine manufacturers will monitor several thousand vaccinated children for 15 years to determine the long term effects of the vaccine.

Here are a few facts to raise your eyebrows and most of these can be found right in the manufacturers product insert.

• Individuals vaccinated with Varivax may potentially be capable of transmitting the vaccine virus to close contacts. Therefore, vaccine recipients should avoid close association with susceptible high risk individuals (e.g. newborns, pregnant women , immunocompromised persons)
• Pregnancy should be avoided for at least 3 months after vaccination
• The long term effect of Varivax on the incidence of herpes zoster(shingles) particularly in those vaccinees exposed to natural varicella (chickenpox) is unknown at present
• Physicians advise Varivax vaccine recipients not to use salicylates (aspirin or aspirin containing products) for six weeks after vaccination because of the chance of contracting Reyes syndrome.
• There have been no studies conducted on it for carcinogenic ( cancer causing) mutagenic potential or for impairment of fertility.
• This vaccine was cultured in lung tissue obtained from two human aborted fetuses. The vaccine may even contain "residual components "of fetal lung cells.
• No one knows if this will open our children up to getting chickenpox when they become older and the effects of chickenpox cam be more harmful.
• First Year of Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) based surveillance of the Varicella vaccine has showed over 1,500 reports. Most of the reported categories are rashes, followed by lack of effect, fever, infections ,and local injection site reactions. 5% of these reports have been serious including two deaths.

Why the Chickenpox Vaccine is Nuts!

 [Go to website to read entire article - great article!!-bfg]

"When I was a child, chickenpox was universally understood to be a generally benign disease in otherwise healthy children.

"... The Merck manual then states, "Children usually recover from chickenpox without problems. However, the infection may be severe or even fatal in adults and especially in people with an impaired immune system."

"The normal route of entry of chickenpox into a child's body is through the mouth and nose-- usually inhaling particles that an infected person has coughed. This means that the virus will come in contact with the mucous membranes and trigger the beginnings of an immune response. After this initial "alert" of the immune system, the virus travels to the lymphatic system, where additional body defenses are mustered. Finally, after the body has had adequate time to gear up, the virus gains access to the blood stream and major organs. But by this time, the immune system is mounting a full response (thanks to its being alerted early by the mucous membranes and lymphatic system) and will usually protect the major organs from damage from this virus."

Now compare this scenario to what happens when one's first exposure to the virus is from a vaccine: The mucous membranes are bypassed. The lymphatic system is bypassed. The live virus gains immediate access to the bloodstream and major organs -- a situation that millions of years of evolutionary wisdom seems to have tried to avoid!

"When I first heard press reports about the new chickenpox vaccine, I remember thinking to myself, "That's crazy -- how in the world will they sell a new vaccine with unknown long term dangers to the public -- nobody's scared of chickenpox." But very soon my question was answered. While reading a popular parenting magazine one day, I noticed a slick multi-page advertising insert that compared the cost of this vaccine to lost wages of the working parent who must miss a week of work to care for their sick child. It was a shock to see the health of our children so shamelessly traded for the materialism of our culture.

At that point, having studied a bit more about the history of vaccination, and the evolution of public perception about specific illnesses once a vaccine is introduced, I remember commenting to a friend, "Just wait -- in twenty or thirty years when childhood cases of chickenpox become rare due to the use of this vaccine -- everyone will be talking about what a DANGEROUS disease chickenpox was!" As it turns out, I was wrong -- it didn't take twenty or thirty years, it happened almost as soon as the vaccine was released. Pharmaceutical company spun articles and news reports began appearing that emphasized that chickenpox is not a benign disease. First they said that there were about ten deaths a year due chickenpox. A year later I saw an article that claimed there were a hundred deaths a year due to chickenpox. Next came a heart-rending article, splashed all-over the newspapers complete with color pictures and all of some poor child who had a "normal" case of chickenpox and then developed some serious heart complication. The child's doctor was quoted as saying, "Chickenpox is NOT harmless!"

I'm sure sales of the vaccine increased after that story came out -- funny how in the previous fifty years (prior to introduction of the vaccine) the media never had a story like that to run!

What the media never seem to mention in all these alarmist articles is that most of the children who die from chickenpox were already immunocompromised -- many are suffering from cancer or leukemia....

In addition, most people are unfamiliar with the fact that there are numerous accounts by parents whose children developed neurological or immune problems shortly after a vaccination but could not get their doctor to even consider that the vaccine was responsible and couldn't get their doctor to report it as a vaccine adverse event to the government agencies that keep track of such data. No wonder the CDC bean-counters are so quick to claim that the dangers of the natural diseases are a greater risk to children then the dangers of the vaccinations!

I got out my old microbiology textbook and read the following: "Contact with chickenpox is said to provoke attacks of shingles in partially immune individuals." I wonder....now that the use of the chickenpox vaccine is becoming more widespread, could it be provoking cases of shingles in the older people whose own immunity may be waning?
