Zika Puzzling Scientists

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/the_americas/scientists-are-bewildered-by-zikas-path-across-latin-america/2016/10/25/

The latest saga in the Zika Chronicles is that the Post states scientists are bewildered that Zika is

“not producing the wave of fetal deformities so widely feared….”

For those of you just tuning in, please read: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/03/08/fixation-on-zikapolio/.     The take home: 80% of those with Zika don’t even know they have it and 1 out of every 5 will have mild symptoms that last a week.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/07/17/zika-in-the-land-of-oz/.  The take home: Brazil has been using WHOLE-CELL pertussis vaccines on impoverished pregnant women in the 27th, 36th, and up to 20 days of expected birth date. There is NO SIGN OF ZIKA in many cases of microcephaly and over 40 countries have Zika with no increased microcephaly. Brazil was spraying pyriproxyfen, a pyridine-based pesticide, on drinking water used by the affected population for 18 months prior to the microcephaly outbreak directly in that area. The transmission cycles for Zika in the U.S. is near zero.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/04/08/zika-ebola-zombies-and-the-cdc/.  The take home: Based on TWO fetal tissue samples, the CDC has stated that Zika causes microcephaly. Meanwhile Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed villages Argentina debunk this theory altogether and state it’s more likely that the pesticides and vaccines are causing the issue.

The Post admits that 75% of babies born with microcephaly are in northeastern Brazil, a highly impoverished region where nutritional deficiencies are the norm not the exception. Of course they are looking for other viruses to blame but quietly mention that environmental, genetic, or immunological factors – of course – combined with Zika may be issues.

Although they are puzzled, researchers and health officials remain cautious about the low U.N. numbers showing just 142 cases of birth defects linked to Zika outside Brazil. The article admits that the condition was initially over diagnosed.

Ernesto Marques, originally from Northern Brazil, is now an epidemiologist at the University of Pittsburgh who states that the focus on Zika has changed from causing microcephally to being a smoking gun. He admits they don’t know who is pulling the trigger, but true to form he is working on a vaccine. As for what is pulling the trigger, he hypothesizes that northern Brazilian mothers might have fewer antibodies to Zika or perhaps that sexual habits and hygiene play a role. Researchers state it will take years to identify the dangers.

I say the one armed man did it.

Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine is complaining that they can’t even count how many actual people were infected because Congress didn’t approve Zika funding.

Now that’s the wisest thing I’ve heard all day.

Hotez is actually holding his breath to see what happens in the next few months.

Well, Peter, while you are holding your breath for something that isn’t going to happen, there are bodies piling up on the side of the road of people with tick borne illnesses that can’t get diagnosed, can’t get proper treatment, and if they miraculously do their medical insurance won’t cover a red cent.  Those who are chronically infected may lose everything trying to defeat an illness(es) that necessitates years of treatment.  
http://wapo.st/2c8cGiE  Here we have Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan accusing the Senate of “partisan filibustering” by not approving Zika funding.  Mr. Ryan you’ve been in Washington for too long and have obviously forgotten your fellow Wisconsinites who are contracting TBI’s at an alarming rate.

Zika isn’t even on the radar here.

Zika, Ebola, Zombies, and the CDC

In the April 2016 Vol. 57 No.3 AARP Bulletin, CDC epidemiologist and director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tom Frieden, was interviewed by Bulletin senior health editor, Candy Sagon.

True to form, he stated Zika keeps him up at night.

Sagon pointed out that prescription overdoses and car fatalities kill more people than Zika or Ebola and questioned if the media is overplaying Zika.

Ya think?

But the next part is why I am gaining more white hairs every day.  He stated,

“We’ve never before identified a mosquito-borne infection than can cause fetal malformations.”  

If you have not read about the Zika virus, please go here:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/health-policy-recap/

The Zika virus has been known as a mild virus that’s been around for over 40 years.  Eighty percent of those infected don’t even know they have it, and one in five will have mild symptoms (fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis) lasting up to a week.

A report published by the Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Villages of Argentina debunks the theory that the increase in microcephaly is due to Zika and that it’s more likely due to pyriproxyfen being sprayed on the drinking water.  Another possibility is the Brazilian DTap mandate for pregnant women all the way up to 20 days before birth.

Please understand that Frieden is extrapolating that Zika causes microcephaly due to the results of 2 fetal tissue samples.  That’s right, two samples.

What I want to know is why the CDC has embraced a normally mild tropical virus causing fetal malformations but they deny MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome or Lyme with friends) patients, that are infected with numerous pathogens and viruses, can have babies with birth defects.

There seems to be a bizarre disconnect.

Almost prophetically he moves to vaccines and stated that,

“…the simple fact is that the best way to protect yourself against the flu is still to get a flu shot.”

I do believe I could write their script they are so predictable.

Please, if you have not read up on vaccinations, take the time to educate yourself, particularly if you have MSIDS:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/a-word-on-vaccines/  and https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/03/19/a-dozen-collapse-after-vaccine/  If there is ever a time to scrutinize everything going into your body, it’s when you are chronically infected with a burden of pathogens and viruses that your body isn’t on top of.

When Frieden was questioned about what was learned from the 2014 Ebola outbreak, he stated,

“As soon as we get new information, we adjust our guidelines to address, with the best available information, how best to protect Americans.”

Now that’s an interesting statement considering the CDC Lyme guidelines, last updated in 2006, have officially been removed from the National Guidelines Clearinghouse because they did not meet the NGC’s criteria. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/idsa-guidelines-removed-from-ngc/

The CDC seems quite concerned about updating the Zika and Ebola guidelines with the “best available information,”even though mosquitos in the US aren’t able to contain or transmit the virus, and there were only 4 cases of Ebola in the U.S. all of whom recovered but one, but are not concerned about the 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease/MSIDS diagnosed each year right here in the U.S.A.

It’s a head scratcher isn’t it?

Perhaps Lyme/MSIDS isn’t sexy, obscure and provocative like strange tropical diseases, but it’s causing thousands and thousands to go through life like zombies.

And speaking of zombies, the interview was completed when Sagon made a reference to the TV show The Walking Dead, where the CDC was portrayed as a safe haven from zombies. 

What irony.

Fixation on Zika

zika-virus

A transmission electron micrograph (TEM) provided by the Centers For Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia shows the Zika virus. (CDC/Cynthia Goldsmith/Reuters)

http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/2016/03/our-fixation-with-polio-and-zika-7/

“Imagine 100 people who have symptoms of severe paralysis somewhere on their body… say, their legs. They are all permanently paralyzed, but some of the people have one or more of the following conditions which can produce paralysis similar to polio:

Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP); Arsenic Poisoning; Bilious Remittent Fever; Chinese Paralytic Syndrome; Cholera Morbus virus; Coxsackie virus; DDT Poisoning; ECHO; Enteroviral Encephalopathy; Epidemic Cholera; Ergotism; Famine Fever; Guillain-Barré Syndrome; Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease; Inhibitory Palsy; Intermittent Fever; Lead Poisoning; Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome); Post-Polio Syndrome; Reye’s Syndrome; Spinal Apoplexy; Spinal Meningitis; Transverse Myelitis; Traumatic Neuritis; Undiagnosed Congenital Syphilis; Viral or Aseptic Meningitis; Worm Fever… and “provocation of limb paralysis by intramuscular injections of many types, including a variety of vaccines.”1 2

Remember; however, it is possible – highly possible – that those testing positive for polio may NOT have been paralyzed by polio.  Scientists STILL don’t know why some become paralyzed and some do not, and it is completely harmless or mild in more than 99% of polio carriers.  Did you know that?  Just as Zika is a mild virus that’s been around for over 40 years and has never caused an issue before. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/02/05/zika-sexually-transmitted/

I was always told that assuming something makes an ass out of u and mi.

And yet, today, “scientists” are stating that tissue samples from two fetuses containing Zika proves Zika caused microcephaly in these children, and before long, the way things are going,

“Zika will become synonymous with microcephaly – much like polio has become synonymous with severe paralysis.” 

Global health officials have said, however, that as many as 80% of people exposed to the virus have little to no symptoms. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 1 out of every five infected will become ill with mild symptoms such as fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis, lasting for several days to a week. http://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/ and https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/02/05/zika-sexually-transmitted/

For two possible causes of the increase in microcephaly please read:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/health-policy-recap/

https://jameslyonsweiler.com/2016/02/29/vaccine-safety-research-reform/  Also worth noting:  Brazil has been using WHOLE-CELL pertussis on impoverished pregnant women.  Microcephaly is concentrated in the slums of Brazil.  Interestingly, there is no sign of Zika in many cases of microcephaly, and the Zika virus has spread to over 40 countries with no sign of increased micrcoephaly.  And while microcephaly started to increase in 2012, Zika increases came on the scene in July 2014.

http://kellybroganmd.com/pregnancy-friendly-protection-truth-about-whooping-cough-vaccine-pertussis/

“Pertussis incidence was waning on its own until a 1980 mandate to vaccinate in 42 states. Since this time, and since the introduction of the seemingly “less dangerous” acellular pertussis or whooping cough vaccine (the whole cell vaccine was so clearly toxic that seizure activity and fevers drove parents away from vaccination, and it still took almost 50 years to change the product) was introduced in 1996, ten years after pharmaceutical companies were granted immunity through the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (i.e. ten years after there stopped being any incentive to produce safe vaccines).”  Dr. Kelly Brogan

http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/2016/06/so-what-about-the-other-pregnant-honduran-woman-who-didnt-have-zika-2/  And while one pregnant Honduran woman vacationing in the US who tested positive for the virus and gave birth to a child with microcephaly made headline news, another Honduran woman who gave birth to a child with microcephaly and tested negative was barely mentioned.  Why this extreme bias?

https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/01/31/busted-25000-cases-of-microcephaly-in-the-us-per-year/  The US has 25,000 cases of microcephaly each year, but has nothing to do with Zika infection.  Mosquitos here in the states can’t even carry the virus.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-zika-who-idUSKCN0V61JB

“No one has the $500 million on hand to take it (a vaccine) all the way to human trials. Somewhere along the course we hope to have big pockets join us,” Bogoch said.

And in the end, it’s all about vaccines.

As MSIDS patients we are infected with God knows what.  A literal hodgepodge of infections that testing can’t pick up.  Doctors don’t take us seriously, insurance won’t cover our treatment, and we have symptoms that make Zika look like a walk in the park.  

But, this fixation on rare tropical diseases such as Zika, West Nile, and others is bizarre when there are far worse pathogens debilitating and killing thousands of people.  Researchers, doctors, professionals – they don’t seem to want to touch MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome – or Lyme with friends) with a ten-foot pole.

And, I think I know why.

Besides digging up some inconvenient historical facts about pathogens that have been tweaked in a lab somewhere for questionable purposes, there’s the vaccine issue.  Seems it’s always about vaccines these days.

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/28/business/sole-lyme-vaccine-is-pulled-off-market.html  Did you know that the LYMERIX vaccine which was pulled off the market due to “poor sales” caused 640 emergency room visits, 34 life threatening reactions, 77 hospitalizations, 198 disabilities, and 6 deaths?  In a vile cesspool of conflicts of interest are university patent holders, drug companies, and the FDA itself as another patent holder.  It generated 40 million dollars before it was yanked. (2008, Drymon)

http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/lymerix  One doctor stated that 21 patients developed severe arthritis after receiving the LYMERIX vaccine.

http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php/about-lyme/controversy/vaccine/261-lymerix-meeting

“Given that Dr. Marks lead the clinical trials for Lymerix’s competitor, the OspA vaccine produced and then abandoned by Aventis Pasteur, his conclusions mean a lot. “In my opinion,” he told FDA officials, “there is sufficient evidence that Lymerix is causally related to severe rheumatologic, neurologic, autoimmune, and other adverse events in some individuals. This evidence is such as to warrant a significantly heightened degree of warnings and possible limitations or removal from marketing of Lymerix.”

Since the public is now wary of the Lyme (borrelia) vaccine, they’ve changed their approach to focus on wildlife and pets, despite the fact that hamsters developed arthritic joints when infected with Bb (borrelia) or the Osp A vaccine! http://www.lymenet.de/literatur/12tbdconference/day1/day1.htm#OspA%20Induces%20Lyme%20Arthritis%20in%20Hamsters

It is convenient that these poor creatures can’t complain or sue drug producers and that all these products and animal vaccines will bring in a tsunami of money that so far hasn’t found a gold standard diagnostic test or created any benefit to MSIDS patients in any way, shape, or form.  Infection rates climb higher and higher while the CDC and IDSA sit idly by.

So when you call your local pharmacy and have to listen to vaccine scare tactics for 10 minutes which tempt you to get that flu vaccine or any other vaccine being pushed on you, please read up on the facts first and be informed.  It’s your body and you are already in a war with a pathogen invasion.  Don’t let anyone bully you into injecting something into your body that has every potential of making your health worse.

While the world has elevated Zika to rock star status, there is a gigantic white elephant still standing in the room.

Zika Sexually Transmitted

http://www.selfreliancecentral.com/2016/02/03/5564/?utm_source=160203SRCAPNSA2&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=160203SRCAPNSA2

The CDC is now stating Zika under certain conditions may be sexually transmitted, as well as through breast milk.  According to the Associated Press: “Health officials say a person in Texas has become infected with the Zika virus through sex, in the first case of the illness being transmitted within the United States amid the current outbreak in Latin America.”

Now that’s a head scratcher.

So, all it takes is one case with Zika while thousands of cases of borrelia infected couples are told by the same CDC that it isn’t an STD and it isn’t congenital, even though it’s a spirochete very similar to Syphilis and researchers have found it in semen and vaginal secretions?  Reference: The Journal of Investigative Medicine 2014; 62:280-281.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mothers-may-pass-lyme-disease-to-children-in-the-womb/

Am I missing something?

Zika, associated with a serious birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads (microcephaly), is a zoonotic disease similar to Lyme Disease and is transmitted from animals to humans through mosquitoes.  Global health officials have said, however, that as many as 80% of people exposed to the virus have little to no symptoms.

So why is there such a big scare?  One word: vaccines.

According to the CDC, 95% of people with the poliovirus have no symptoms.  http://phil.cdc.gov/phil/details.asp?pid=1952  Less than 1% will develop any sort of paralysis, and of those less than 10% result in death.  http://www.globalhealth.gov/global-health-topics/communicable-diseases/polio/

But, have you ever heard those statistics before?

Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff has already publicly declared war on Zika and the mosquitoes that carry the virus.  And yet, 80% of people with Zika will not have symptoms.  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 1 out of every five infected will become ill with mild symptoms such as fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis, lasting for several days to a week. http://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/

Is that what you’ve been reading?

According to Marilyn Roossinck, PhD, professor of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology and Biology at Penn State at University Park, we have loads of viruses within us and they don’t harm us at all, in fact they can be beneficial.  http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/2016/02/viruses-always-the-easy-scapegoat/  In this link, Marco Caceres makes a valid point, “Why are we assuming that Zika is any threat to us at all?” and “What other things going on in Brazil could be causing the epidemic of microcephaly there?”

A very probable answer is that Tdap vaccines were mandated for all pregnant women in Brazil in late 2014.  http://www.thevaccinereaction.org/2016/02/tdap-vaccinations-for-all-pregnant-women-in-brazil-mandated-in-late-2014/  In 2011, with little evidence proving safety, the CDC instituted a similar universal vaccine policy for all pregnant women here in the U.S.

The CVE report listed the following ingredients in the GSK/Butantan Institute Tdap vaccine:
Diphtheria toxoid—not less than 2 International Units (IU)
Tetanus toxoid—not less than 20 International Units (IU)
Bordetella pertussis antigen
Pertussis toxoid—8 mcg
Filamentous haemagglutinin—8 mcg
Pertactin—2.5 mcg
Adsorbed hydrated aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH ) 3) and aluminum phosphate (AlPO4)
Excipients: aluminum hydroxide , aluminum phosphate , sodium chloride and water for injection. Contains formaldehyde residues, polysorbate 80 and glycine  http://www.cve.saude.sp.gov.br/htm/imuni/pdf/IF14_VAC_DTpa.pdf

GSK’s Tdap product is internationally known under the brand name Refortrix® or, more commonly, Boostrix®), and it has been licensed in Brazil for more than a decade.7 In addition to the ingredients listed above for Boostrix, the following growth medium and process ingredients are used in manufacturing the vaccine:
modified Latham medium derived from bovine casein
Fenton medium containing bovine extract
formaldehyde
Stainer-Scholte liquid medium
glutaraldehyde
aluminum hydroxide  http://vaccines.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005206#header_tdap

Anybody notice all the aluminum?

According to GSK, neither the safety nor effectiveness of Boostrix have been established in pregnant women.  The package insert for Boostrix reads:  A developmental toxicity study has been performed in female rats at a dose approximately 40 times the human dose (on a mL/kg basis) and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to BOOSTRIX. Animal fertility studies have not been conducted with BOOSTRIX. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, BOOSTRIX should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.  And yet the Brazilian government has been vaccinating tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of pregnant women in its country during the past year. A large portion of these pregnancies are occurring in Brazil’s northeastern region, notably in the state of Pernambuco—the country’s fastest growing population center.  https://www.gsksource.com/pharma/content/dam/GlaxoSmithKline/US/en/Prescribing_Information/Boostrix/pdf/BOOSTRIX.PDF

https://youtu.be/VoY6vXEMsU8  Warning to Pregnant Mothers – Toxic Dose of Aluminum in the Tdap (11 minutes long WEB-SITE: http://drpaul.md, Crisis of toxins being injected into children.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1FkOj1nJWk Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC (Approx 8 min)  “Even with super high pertussis vaccine coverage in America and other countries like the Netherlands, Australia, Finland and Canada, whooping cough disease cannot be prevented. There are two main reasons for this fact.

First, pertussis vaccines widely used since the 1950’s have not prevented whooping cough disease from circulating in vaccinated populations. Unknown numbers of children and adults, who have gotten all government recommended pertussis shots, can and do develop whooping cough or are carriers without symptoms.

Because pertussis vaccine immunity is only temporary and does not last, health officials are now telling teenagers and adults to get more booster shots. But that is not going to matter if scientific evidence that B. pertussis organisms have mutated and become vaccine-resistant turns out to be correct.

A second important reason is that another Bordetella organism — parapertussis — also can cause whooping cough. B. parapertussis symptoms, while often milder, can look exactly like B. pertussis. But doctors rarely recognize or test for parapertussis. And there is NO vaccine for parapertussis.

The DTaP vaccine given 5 times to children under age 6 and booster doses for teenagers and adults does not protect against whooping cough caused by B. parapertussis. In highly vaccinated countries like the U.S., parpertussis is on the rise and it is estimated that perhaps 30 percent or more of whooping cough disease is actually caused by parapertussis!”

So, back to Zika.  Could this outbreak of microcephaly have more to do with vaccinating vulnerable pregnant women with the DTap vaccine than the Zika virus.  I think so, considering Zika has been around for decades but the Brazilian mandated vaccine has been around for about as long as the gestational period.  Food for thought.
