Vaccinations Not Virus Responsible for Spanish Flu

The following is an interesting commentary about an article on the 1918-1920 pandemic, which the propaganda says was caused by Spanish flu (Irish Examiner, May 1).

It took a British science team to identify the first virus in man in 1933, yet propaganda says that the virus of Spanish flu killed millions of civilians and soldiers during the pandemic from 1918 to 1920.

Many would have us believe that all those American soldiers who died from non-combatant causes died from Spanish flu. However, U.S. Army records show that seven men died after being vaccinated.

Further, according to a report from U.S. Secretary of War Henry L Stimson, the deaths were not only verified but also there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis reported as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of the war.

Plus, the yellow fever vaccination was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given to recruits.

After vaccination became a requirement in the U.S. Army in 1911, cases of typhoid and vaccinal diseases increased rapidly, according to Army records. The death rate from typhoid reached the highest point in the history of the U.S. Army after America entered the war in 1917.

In 1917, 19,608 men were admitted into army hospitals due to anti-typhoid inoculation and vaccinia, according to a report of the Surgeon-General of the U.S. Army; and this doesn’t take into account others whose symptoms were attributed to other causes.

The army doctors knew all these cases of disease and death were due to vaccination and were honest enough to admit it in their medical reports.

Army doctors tried to suppress the symptoms of typhoid with a stronger vaccine, however it caused a worse form of typhoid, paratyphoid.

They then concocted an even stronger vaccine to suppress the previous one and created an even worse disease--Spanish flu.

After the war, this was one of the vaccines used to protect a panic-stricken world from the soldiers returning from WWI battlefronts infected with dangerous diseases.

The rest is history.

The bottom line here is that vaccines are not the answer. Vaccines, all vaccines, are immune suppressing; that is they depress our immune functions, which leaves us vulnerable to any number of diseases.

Vaccines contain many chemicals and heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, which, aside from being immune system suppressors, can cause serious damage to your body.

However, while vaccines help to tear our immunity down, proper nutrition will build and support a strong immune system, which will provide natural immunity against a number of diseases.

I detail the benefits of proper nutrition, which starts with eliminating sugar and grains from your diet, in my new book, The No-Grain Diet. The book also gives you a practical approach to achieve a new healthy lifestyle, and explains how Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can help you address food cravings and other emotional issues that can get in the way of your dietary success.
