In one study MDs refused hepatitis B vaccination - even when it was offered

Steve B. Harris, MD commented:


That was back when it was made from the blood of pooled donors. But it
had been carefully tested for HIV and put through 3 different rounds of
treatments, each of which was sufficient to kill HIV (not possible to
do for blood factor products, but possible for the vaccine). Finally,
the donor pool for the hep B vaccine protein was a closed one
consisting of carefully chosen HIV-neg chronic hepatitis B patients,
and not the same group of lowlife plasma donors that donated for factor
concentrates, and who were more likely to have HIV (and who ended up
transmitting HIV in factor concentrates in 1982-3). So many a doc made
the opposite decision for hep B. Including me, who had my first Hep B
vaccination shots in 1985.

By the time for my next booster in 1990, I believe a genetically
engineered product had been around, which had never seen human blood.
You could get one or the other, and I don't remember which one I chose.
Since then, the issue you bring up has been a non-issue. The vaccine
from human donors is long off the market.


Steve,

A non-issue?

You snipped the bigger issue: Most African children with evidence of Hep B
had no Hep B disease - and no (?) evidence that Hep B vaccine prevents
hepatocellular carcinoma.

Also, you snipped the part about Hep B vaccinations injected into Third
World children as American MDs refused the same Hep B vaccinations.

Maybe American MDs ("many a doc") made a public protest that Third World
children should not be injected with a Hep B vaccine that American MDs
weren't taking for fear of catching AIDS?

Maybe I just missed it?

I mention this because - recently - American MDs didn't go public about
thimerosal going into Third World bloodstreams...

Or maybe they did and I just missed it?

Robert Kennedy writes:

"Vaccine manufacturers had already begun to phase thimerosal out of
injections given to American infants -- but...CDC and FDA...[bought] up the
tainted vaccines for export to developing countries..."

Whatever happened in those instances, there are the REALLY obvious crimes
American MDs are committing.

For example...

Your fellow MDs are immediately clamping umbilical cords - temporarily
asphyxiating babies/forcing them to breathe with their lungs before they are
ready - and in the process robbing babies of up to 50% of their blood
volume.

This is happening to EVERY CESAREAN BABY, according retired obstetrician
George Malcolm Morley, MB ChB FACOG.

Steve, are you doing anything to stop your fellow MDs from asphyxiating
babies and robbing up 50% of their blood?

Or are you just going to stand on your valid observation...that if
you MDs can get away with crime, in effect, you aren't committing crime?

Just curious.

Sincerely,

Your friend,
