The CDC is now recommending that people not receive the smallpox vaccination. Yes, they acknowledge it was given routinely before 1972 but that was because it was a health threat. It was an odd health threat to receive a vaccination for, because the last time this disease was reported in any country was in 1977 and in a western country years before that, but the United States had ceased vaccinations for it in 1972 in any case. But of course all other vaccinations continued: MMR's, DPT's, Polio and many, many more. Polio interestingly enough has nearly been eradicated as well and a case has not been seen in the United States in many years, however that vaccine is still routinely given. But not smallpox. Because it is gone.
What is the dance? Well the CDC is concerned that people think vaccinations are always safe. And they want you to know that not all vaccinations are safe (hoping no doubt you will forget about their push to have every other vaccine given to you and your children). The smallpox vaccine, according to the CDC, can cause in 1 in 150,000 people an infection of immense significance such as encephalitis, particularly in those with immune system issues. That would include people with autoimmune disorders, AIDS and HIV patients and anyone on cortisone for any reason. Further, 1 in 500,000 will die because of the smallpox vaccine alone. The bottom line according to the CDC is that if the entire population of the United States were to receive this vaccination, 600 would die because of it and 2,000 would have a serious brain infection.
So is this really the dance? The statistics on vaccine injury from ordinary vaccinations we give every day have some fairly staggering numbers as well. For some frightening stories on vaccinations visit 909shot.com where the stories of children damaged by vaccinations can be seen.
So what is the dance? The dance is that there is not enough smallpox vaccination to innoculate every person in the United States. The CDC doesn't change their stance so quickly. They have come up with a plan B that involves innoculating every person in a "ring" around someone infected. A previous article in this column outlines the approach. But the truth is that the vaccination supply is outdated by two decades and unless it is diluted, which is a wild card as to the effectiveness of the vaccination, there simply is not enough.
