If you hadn’t noticed, today’s Google doodle celebrates the 100 year anniversary of Jonas Salk’s birth – Salk pioneered the first successful inactivated virus based vaccine for Polio.
As The Guardian reminds us, it’s a good reminder of the power of vaccines. It’s also a timely reminder of the importance of public health in our daily lives.
And a quick University of Michigan factoid: Jonas Salk’s first introduction to virology was in the laboratory of University of Michigan School of Public Health professor Thomas Francis – the person who was to announce the successful vaccine to the world on April 12 1955 – also at the University of Michigan.
I think this is where I’m supposed to say “Go Blue!”
Dear Google & All Else It Concerns:
It’s disheartening for many who’ve been harmed or destroyed by vaccines to see you honor & thank Dr. Salk as you have this day.
Truth’s out in many public forums.
On Twitter at #CDCwhistleblower we’ve trended number one for weeks but still there’s media blackout. What’s that tell us?
Also hear short clips at #hearthiswell of many whose nightmares you wouldn’t want to be in.
Please do the proper research on vaccines. The world is waking & you’re wayyyyyy behind.
“The only safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used” — Dr. James A. Shannon, National Institutes of Health
The real truth is recorded in the archives of history for all who want to know;
“In 1976, Dr. Jonas Salk, creator of the killed-virus vaccine used in the 1950s, testified that the live-virus vaccine (used almost exclusively in the U.S. from the early 1960s to 2000) was the “principal if not sole cause” of all reported polio cases in the U.S. since 1961 [44].
(The virus remains in the throat for one to two weeks and in the feces for up to two months. Thus, vaccine recipients are at risk, and can potentially spread the disease, as long as fecal excretion of the virus continues [45].)
In 1992, the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an admission that the live-virus vaccine had become the dominant cause of polio in the United States [36].
In fact, according to CDC figures, every case of polio in the U.S. since 1979 was caused by the oral polio vaccine [36].
Authorities claim the vaccine was responsible for about eight cases of polio every year [46]. However, an independent study that analyzed the government’s own vaccine database during a recent period of less than five years uncovered 13,641 reports of adverse events following use of the oral polio vaccine.
These reports included 6,364 emergency room visits and 540 deaths (Figure 3) [47,48]. Public outrage at these tragedies became the impetus for removing the oral polio vaccine from immunization schedules [36:568;37;38].
“It is officially admitted that all cases of polio in the US, since the introduction of the vaccine, are caused by the vaccine. The same has been seen in Australia and other countries like England. So the occurrence of the same phenomenon all around the world would be asking too much of coincidence.” – Dr Viera Scheibner, “Vaccination: The Medical Assault on the Immune System” 1993.

Please help save our children. 1 in 68 with autism. Rising right in step with increase in vaccines through the years.
1 in 8 with many other injuries varying from mild to severe to death. Like asthma, allergies, seizures, gut problems, nosebleeds, headaches, vision problems, etc.
I’ve allowed this comment here as I prefer not to block comments unless there is an extremely good reasons to do so – this was might close to that line though.
To attempt to undermine the good that has been achieved by Dr Salk is truly disrespectful to all those who have been prevented from contracting a disease that ravaged the US and the world before the vaccine was available – it is an attitude that selfishly places a narrow minded view of the world before the health and well-being of others. I hope that the lack of humanity shown here – no matter how well-intentioned – is recognized for what it is.
I’m proud to honor Dr Salk and his achievements for public health
Andrew, but let’s not forget that polio circa 1950/60 was not even infectious, it was caused by DDT poisoning and we know this thanks to the excellent work of Jim West (harpub.tk). We have a lot to thank Jim for because he has spotted the difference between a so-called ‘infectious’ disease and a poison disease. its just a pity that Jonas Salk was not a toxicologist as otherwise he would had got there before Jim West. John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
I’ve seen plots that hint at a correlation between polio cases and DDT use, but the conspiracy stories that surround them make no sense from a scientific perspective. While there is solid empirical evidence that polio is infectious and that the vaccine is effective, there seems to be nothing but speculative story spinning around claims that DDT causes polio.
Andrew, you go tell that to Jim West and take it from there. You have a theory but you dont have a reality. We are raised in an environment of infectious disease, polio is one example. We believe that we ‘catch’ polio, but this is wrong because all disease apart from say trauma and poison are inside-out phenomena, not outside-in. If we side with infection, then we are siding with the notion that coughs and sneezes spread diseases, meaning that we side with an outside-in infectious process. This is only a theory, not a reality. The reality is that we don’t ‘catch’ anything, but this is how we are taught from the day we are born. So polio, especially seen in the light of Jim West’s poison causation, is a poison-related disease and so it is not an infectious disease. As there is no mode of transmission, apart from in theory, then polio cannot possibly be infectious.
When we introduce polio vaccine, we are introducing foreign matter – vaccine filth – into our bodies. The body will see this as a toxicological threat and it will cause an emergency poison situation based on a toxicological response, not a virology response. The body will see this as an emergency situation, a very dangerous threat. So a polio vaccine is seen by the body as a toxic threat, and so it is a poison. A poison can cause polio as we know from Jim West’s research, and so a polio shot is nothing more than a poison because polio is a poison disease. My conclusion is that it is dangerous to take a polio shot or any other shot as all we are doing is causing sickness and we are poisoning ourselves to death. John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
Andrew, TB is another example of a disease that we call infectious, but we still don’t know the mode of transmission after 40 years of scientific endeavor. We have a theory of infection through aerosol form (outside-in disease) but this infectious model is only a theory, not a fact. The conclusion is that TB is not infectious because there is no infectious mechanism. I suggest that you read my ‘TB Not Infectious’ article on Rochdale Online which is about the badger cull in the UK.
I have been told that TB is indeed infectious and in humans caused by unpasteurised milk, but I doubt that that was ever true. Especially in the war years, farmers cut corners and milk could sometimes contain 30% raw manure. In such a case, this may well cause TB, so this is not an infectious disease, it is a poison disease, and if so, a TB vaccine would offer no protection.
So we have just covered two diseases, polio and TB and discovered through rational thought that none are so-called ‘infectious’ diseases. You see, there is no mode of transmission apart from a theoretical infectious transmission aerosol route but that idea does not stand up in a court of law. When we can make sense out of disease causation and see the difference between an inside-out disease and an outside-in disease, we can then make sense of the whole issue and then we will see that vaccines are based on very bad science. I don’t want to take a vaccine because I don’t want to spend my life poisoning myself. If we cannot determine the difference between a so-called ‘infectious’ disease and a poison disease, then god help us. John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
John,
I must be honest with you and say that from my perspective – as a scientist leading a top environmental health department, and working with leading scientists around the world with no bias other than wanting to use the best empirical evidence to save lives and prevent illness – your claims make no sense. The weight of observational and mechanistic evidence supports current approaches to reducing harm from infectious diseases. And while I respect that you genuinely believe your counter-assertions, I have to say that I believe they verge on the irresponsible in that they could lead to serious harm to people if acted on. This is a responsibility that the public health and medical professions take very seriously – as I hope do others.
Andrew, please tell me what the mode of transmission is concerning TB and bTB. Explain to me that it is an infectious disease so that I can put my mind at rest.. You can also explain to me why we are calling bTB an infectious disease but the animals are all healthy. I dont understand that but being as you are a scientist I am sure that you will be able to tell me the answer without, may I add, drifting into theoretical concepts. Don’t forget the golden rule, no theories at all, no cheating, no deception, no lies. John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
