Ah -- the argument from ignorance. Others, who have
actually studied the matter, don't have your advantage.

I am currently slowly
and laboriously reviewing statistics about it and it almost appears as
thought the upsurge in the polio epidemic came AFTER the polio
vaccines were introduced, rather than before.

Polio vaccines were introduced before 1916?


OH NO, my dear D.C., but (surprise!!) they
had OTHER vaccines. Here, read...

VACCINES: INFLUENZA - 2005

Recreating the 1918-19 “Spanish” Flu epidemic hysteria

compiled by Ingri Cassel

"As the bird flu hype intensifies, suddenly people who had never heard
of it before remember the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 as if it just
happened. It’s interesting how the modern remembrance of the 1918
outbreak, being leaked into our minds from the CDC through the
mainstream media, is dramatically exaggerated from doctored historical
accounts."

For instance, an Associated Press story from 1997 cited a study done
by the Armed Forces Institute under the leadership of Dr. Jeffery K.
Taubenberger. Taubenberger, et al., analyzed specimens from some of
the 43,000 servicemen that died as a result of the “Spanish” flu and
had been preserved in formaldehyde and wax for future studies. It was
theorized that “the virus … is a mutation that evolved in American
pigs and was spread around the globe by U.S. troops mobilized for
World War I.”

"Regarding flu epidemiology, pigs may have wings

In February, 2004, the BBC reported that British scientists determined
that the strain of flu virus responsible for the 1918-19 “Spanish” flu
pandemic was an avian virus that had mutated. This information was
determined by exhuming bodies from villages within 700 miles of the
north pole from people who had died during the 1918-19 flu pandemic.

Is the reason for this confusion due to the fact that the existence of
viruses was known but not isolated and categorized until after 1933,
the year the electron microscope was invented? Some articles from the
late 90s even theorize that the virus originated in birds that
infected pigs that then infected humans. Hmmm…"

"1918 death toll still rising

Another problem is the evolving numbers of people who were infected
with the “Spanish” flu and the numbers of people who actually died. An
“AP Statistics Lab” claims that 25 million people died worldwide from
the 1918 flu pandemic with half a million dying in the U.S. The CDC
claimed in 1999 (Preparing for the Next Influenza Pandemic) that 20
million people died worldwide from the 1918 flu pandemic but now
claims, in 2005, that the death toll was 50 million worldwide. Another
article justifies these discrepancies by saying that anywhere from 20
million to 100 million people died worldwide during the 1918-19 flu
pandemic. Aside from this “official” confusion, it is clear that the
World Health Organization (WHO) and the Bush administration are using
recreated 1918 flu pandemic history to sound the alarm justifying the
$4 billion tagged onto a defense spending bill passed by the Senate
September 24, 2005."

"Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), with the backing of Senate Minority
Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), wants the government to spend nearly
$3.1 billion to stockpile enough doses of an anti-viral pharma drugs
(not vitamin C or oregano oil) for half the U.S. population. If half
the current U.S. population (not counting the illegal immigrants) were
to “benefit” from this boondoggle, it amounts to $21 for each anti-
viral dose administered at taxpayer expense."

"Learning from the past

Historians puzzle over the virulence of the “Spanish” flu versus
deadly medical treatments used nearly 90 years ago. According to
medical researcher Jim West, chloroform was used as a preservative in
several orthodox cough syrups in 1918 and would convert to highly
poisonous phosgene when oxidized, causing liver failure and various
cancers."

"Patrick J. Carroll wrote a piece in the August 5, 2003 edition of The
Irish Examiner recounting relatively unknown vaccine history. He
claimed that a report from then U.S. Secretary of War Henry L Stimson
verified 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of
the WWI yellow fever vaccination program of only six months duration.
Yellow Fever vaccination was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given to
army recruits. Quoting from the article that can be accessed at
http://www.vaclib.org/news/vaccinenotflu.htm";

“Army records also reveal that after vaccination became compulsory in
the U.S. Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly but all
other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate. After America
entered the war in 1917, the death rate from typhoid vaccination rose
to the highest point in the history of the U.S. Army. The deaths
occurred after the shots were given in sanitary American hospitals and
well-supervised army camps in France, where sanitation had been
practiced for years."

“The report of the Surgeon-General of the U.S. Army shows that during
1917 there were admitted into the army hospitals 19,608 men suffering
from anti-typhoid inoculation and vaccinia. This takes no account of
those whose vaccine diseases were attributed to other causes."
