Narcolepsy and flu vaccine: drugs may harm us: but Big Pharma takes no responsibility

Narcolepsy is a serious medical condition that causes excessive drowsiness, falling asleep at inappropriate times, and serious disruption to sleep patterns, and lifestyle. At its worst in can become cataplexy, which effects muscle control, and often the total loss of muscle control.

It has hitherto been a rare condition; but it is due to increase as it comes to us as a result of accepting the flu vaccine.

Who says? The government, who in September 2013 admitted that evidence from the Health Protection Agency has confirmed that the Swine Flu vaccine, Pandemrix, can cause the disease. NHS Choices have not come to terms with this yet as when it outlines the causes of Narcolepsy it fails to mention the flu vaccine! And, of course, our Big Pharma compliant media has not bothered to draw attention to the fact either!

This is yet another example of pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines causing disease: not illness, not adverse reactions, not side-effects: but actual, long-term disease. What I have called the DIEs, or the Disease Inducing Effects of conventional medicine. So, having given us the disease, what is the NHS going to do about the condition? Not very much, it would seem.

          "There is no specific cure for narcolepsy, but you can manage your symptoms to minimise the impact the condition has on your daily life". NHS Choices.

This is yet another example of the conventional medical establishment 'successfully' causing a disease - but can then do nothing about it!

Now, again unreported by the media, 38 people in Britain have begun a class legal claim against GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the manufacturer of Pandemrix. If successful, the lawyers representing the group believe each of the claimant, if successful, could receive about £1 million in compensation.

Good for patients? Bad for GSK?

Well, no, not really. If GSK lose the case it is the government, through the NHS, that will have to pay up. This is the result of an 'indemnity agreement' between GSK and the Department of Health which means, in effect, that any compensation claims resulting from the vaccine, or any legal costs arising from the court case, must be paid by the government.

So what does this mean for patients, for the taxpayer, and for the conventional medical establishment?

For those patients who now suffer from Narcolepsy in means:

• they were persuaded to accept a vaccine because of a health scare, generated by the conventional medical establishment, that never happened;
• that whereas they were perfectly healthy prior to the vaccine, they are now suffering, probably for the rest of their lives, with a life-changing and debilitating disease;
• that the NHS has no treatment that can help them.

For the taxpayer, it means that:

• we have had to pay for a dangerous vaccine for an epidemic that did not happen;
• we will have to pay for the treatment (however ineffective) of patients who have been given the disease;
• we will have to pay any court costs arising from the class action;
• we will have to pay for any compensation awarded by the courts.

For the drug company, and the conventional medical establishment, it means that:

• they successfully convinced us about an epidemic swine flu crisis that never happened, a crisis that was designed to scare us into accepting the vaccine, on their advice;
• they (GSK) will pocket from the profit made by selling the NHS a vaccine that was not needed, and which has now been admitted caused serious disease;
• they (GSK) will not have to suffer any financial or legal consequences for giving us yet another harmful and dangerous vaccine;
• they will not have to experience any adverse publicity as our mainstream media is unwilling to tell the public about what is happening with conventional drugs and vaccines

The Pharmaceutical business is clearly a good one to be in! It may be causing havoc to our health. But we, as taxpayers, continue to pay for their drugs and vaccines. Governments are prepared to give drug companies immunity for any harm or damage they may cause. And our Media are not prepared to publish any information that suggests the conventional medical establishment is imposing on us a form of medicine that is unsafe, ineffective, hugely expensive - and damaging the health of patients.

The Flu Vaccine that causes Narcolepsy? Pandemrix.

It is strange to see a Pulse article (a GP internet magazine) stating that whilst the government has at last agreed that the Pandemrix flu vaccine causes Narcolepsy, the drug manufacturer, GSK, says that "its causes are not yet fully understood". So the cause is admitted. But then they are not understood! The full quote is:

          "Patient safety is our number one priority and we are actively researching how narcolepsy is triggered and how this vaccine might have interacted with other risk factors in affected individuals. We hope these ongoing research efforts will enable us to provide more answers".

Ahhh! So the flu vaccine is not the whole story! It has 'interacted with other risk factors'! They continue:

          "Narcolepsy is a complex disease and its causes are not yet fully understood but it is generally considered to be associated with genetic and environmental factors, including infections. We remain committed to pursuing additional research to understand the association between Pandemrix and narcolepsy and continue to support the research of others who are investigating reported cases".

Well that sounds better. Doesn't it? The disease is associated with infections, and genetic and environmental factors. And the nice drug company is doing research in order to understand what is happening, no doubt on our behalf.

Meanwhile, I must assume, GSK (and the manufacturers of other flu vaccines) will continue to promote and sell, and doctors will continue to prescribe Pandemrix to patients until such time that no further prevarication can be accepted!

It is always the same. A drug or vaccine is found to cause a serious disease, usually worse than the disease it is supposed to be treating, but the Conventional Medical Establishment seeks to defend and to justify itself, and the Media is happy to relay the ConMed apologies for the damage they do, regularly, consistently, routinely.

See, for example, this BBC apology for the harm caused by the MMR vaccine. This article dates back to August 2010, when compensation was paid to a family after a long campaign following the damage done to their son - a normal child prior to the vaccination, but now, as a teenager, subject to

          "frequent epileptic fits, is unable to talk, stand unaided or feed himself, but is not autistic".

And interesting, unsolicited comment that last one - "but is not autistic". He probably didn't have diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and a variety of other diseases - but we are specifically told - he did not have autism!

But look at the rest of the article, written in defence of the MMR vaccine (seen so often in BBC journalism, and mainstream journalism generally) - totally compliant with the interests of the Big Pharma drug companies, and the opinions of the Conventional Medical Establishment.

So despite the risks, the MMR vaccine is still imposed on us.

And the BBC continues to do so, as this article from 25 September 2013 demonstrates. It reports that Antidepressant drugs have been 'linked' with type-2 diabetes', but spends most of the time emphasising that "there was no proof that one necessarily caused the other".

          "It may be that people taking anti-depressants put on weight which, in turn, increases their diabetes risk, the team told Diabetes Care journal".

Or it might be that the drug may interfere with blood sugar control! But whilst this intellectual discussion continues, unresolved, antidepressants are still be given out to children (and adults) like sweeties!

What is clear is that there is no 'fail-safe' mechanism at work with conventional medicine.

Drugs and vaccines are prescribed to us. Reports and warnings about the adverse reactions, and the creation of diseases they cause, come along - but they continue to be prescribed, regardless of the consequences to patients. Medical 'science' has to prove the link first, and whilst this might take years, even decades, in the meantime, the patient suffers.

If we suspect that a car, or a washing machine, or any other sort of product is unsafe, they are recalled. Or modifications are made. Or parts are changed. SOMETHING is done.

When conventional medicine puts our health at risk NOTHING is done. Patients suffer, they contract serious disease, often they die. But the drug or vaccine continues to be given to patients, and is withdrawn or banned only when the cause is absolutely proven, and can no longer be doubted.

So what about Narcolepsy? It is a disease that has been known about for some time, so vaccines are certainly not the only cause. But once it was an extremely rare disease. Now, it is one of those diseases that is becoming more prevalent - like dementia, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other diseases that are now at epidemic proportions.

Conventional drugs and vaccines have almost certainly played an important role in creating these epidemics of once uncommon diseases.

So if flu vaccines are triggering a new epidemic this should be good enough to produce a response from the regulatory agencies. It almost certainly will not be! This is not a new insight into the consequences of these vaccines. It has been reported time and time again, and still nothing has happened - except that our government, and the NHS, and our doctors, continue to promote them, without telling us about the evidence against them.

Risk of narcolepsy in children and young people receiving AS03 adjuvanted pandemic A/H1N1 2009 influenza vaccine: retrospective analysis - indicating the the British Medical Journal is aware of the problem, and has reported it.

Over 700 children develop Narcolepsy after flu vaccination - to indicate the number involved.

Flu vaccine causes 1400 percent increased risk of Narcolepsy - to indicate the likelihood of another major epidemic, caused by conventional medicine, if something is not done to withdraw or ban this vaccine.

Evidence grows for narcolepsy link to GSK swine flu shot - an article that says more than 30 million people in 47 countries during 2009-2010 received Pandemrix, and 795 people in Europe reported Narcolepsy. It also states that it has not been used in the USA.

Flu vaccine linked to high risk of narcolepsy in those under 30 - indicating that it is not only children who are at risk.

Formerly healthy, energetic boy still suffers from extreme narcolepsy two years after getting swine flu vaccine - to demonstrate the personal and family tragedies cause by the flu vaccine.

The flu vaccine is linked with many other problems too, which will be dealt with in a later blog

And, as we have seen, if we are waiting to hear the truth about Pandemrix, and flu vaccines generally, from our mainstream media, including the BBC, we are likely to be waiting in vain!
