UN Kicks Off Vaccination Scheme to Keep Somalia Polio-Free

March 20, 2011

AllAfrica.com - Health-care workers in Somalia today began a three-day, United Nations-backed campaign to vaccinate more than 1.8 million young children against polio, four years after the Horn of Africa country was declared to be polio-free.

The new campaign, which is being carried out by local health authorities in concert with the UN World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), as well as other international partners, aims to reach every eligible child in the country, despite the insecurity plaguing many regions and the inaccessibility of some areas.

Marthe Everard, WHO's representative for Somalia, noted that the last recorded case of polio in Somalia was on 27 March 2007 after years of intense international efforts to combat the disease in the strife-torn country.

"This shows that polio can be eradicated everywhere, even in the most challenging and difficult settings," she said.

But Dr. Everard warned that Somalia was still at risk of "importing" the virus from other countries where the polio virus still circulates.

"We must remain ever-vigilant to do all efforts to maintain high immunity of children under the age of five."

Two rounds of polio vaccinations are scheduled to take place across Somalia this year, with officials hoping to reach an estimated 800,000 children in the country's south-central region who missed out on receiving the two drops last year.

Rozanne Chorlton, UNICEF's representative for Somalia, also stressed that it was vital to reach every child, despite the four-year gap since the last recorded case.

"If we are to ensure that no new cases of polio emerge in Somalia, vaccination teams must be able to access every community, every household and every child aged under five," she said.

Polio, a contagious viral disease which can cause paralysis in its victims, has been eradicated in all but four countries - Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Nigeria.

More than 2,000 Vaccinated Babies Died

March 24, 2011

NaturalNews - Earlier this month, Japanese authorities ordered doctors to stop using pneumococcal and Hib vaccines because four children died after receiving the shots. However, the real news was never reported: more than 2,000 babies died in the United States after receiving vaccines for these very same diseases, yet authorities refuse to warn parents and halt production. A safety review is vital to determine whether a recall of the dangerous shots may be necessary to protect additional American babies from disability and death.

According to Paul Offit, media spokesperson for the vaccine industry,

“The Japanese Ministry of Health was foolish to suspend the Hib and pneumococcal programs.”

Offit thinks the deaths were probably caused by SIDS, or underlying conditions, or another cause – anything except the vaccines. Often, children get sick and die by chance.

William Schaffner, chairman of the department of medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, believes, like Offit, that the deaths are “most likely…a coincidence.” In a twist of irony, it may also be a coincidence that Schaffner receives money from vaccine manufacturers – whose stock prices traded lower after the announcement by Japan – for consulting and speaking about vaccines. Offit and Schaffner have never seen the dead children, nor have autopsies been conducted, so their assessments regarding the true cause of death are not based on science.

According to Shelly Burgess, an FDA spokesperson,

The FDA and CDC “have not detected new safety concerns or unusual reporting patterns.”

That’s odd, because the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), jointly operated by the FDA and CDC, has received more than 59,000 reports of adverse reactions to pneumococcal and Hib vaccines during the past several years. More than half of these cases – 30,094 – required hospitalization, with 2,169 deaths. About 95 percent of these deaths were in children under three years of age.

In the last five years, from 2006 through 2010, 17,595 people in the U.S. reported adverse reactions to pneumococcal and Hib vaccines; 464 of these people died after receiving their shots. It should also be noted that these numbers only represent “official” reports to VAERS. The former head of the FDA, David Kessler, has estimated that for every official report of an adverse drug reaction, about 100 other people are also hurt but fail to make a report.

In Japan, most vaccines are not required, so the mad, coercive tactics used by American vaccine officials to vaccinate all U.S. children and adults is not universal. In fact, Japanese infants are only expected to receive polio and DTaP vaccines. Pneumococcal and Hib vaccines were recently added to the Japanese schedule but are optional. Compare that to the more crowded, dangerous, and lucrative U.S. infant vaccine schedule: babies are expected to receive several doses of polio, DTaP, hepatitis B, pneumococcal, Hib, rotavirus, and influenza vaccines.

In summary, four Japanese children died after receiving vaccines and the Japanese Ministry of Health immediately halted the vaccine program. U.S. health officials declared this action “foolish” even though it is likely to save additional babies from harm.

In the United States, thousands of people died after receiving vaccines for the very same diseases but authorities don’t give a damn. U.S. vaccine authorities believe that children are expendable, a guaranteed, targeted market to be used for commercial benefit. Disability and death of U.S. citizens after receiving mandated vaccines is merely treated as the cost of doing business.
