Why did our Health Department buy so much of this vaccine?
Thursday 25th February 2010, 2:59PM GMT.
From Stephen and Pauline Harewood.
FURTHER to your articles on the brilliant results of our Health Service in vaccinating more people against swine flu than ‘anywhere else in the world’ and holding huge stocks of specially purchased Tamiflu – why?
With our officials glowing with personal admiration and patting themselves on the back, the public should be made aware of the facts, wasted money and associated spin.
According to the European inquiry, the Medical Officer of Health for the EU, together with many scientists and doctors, have voiced serious concerns about bogus pandemic scaremongering. The scandalous promotion of this vaccine, fast tracked and never scientifically tested, was a serious waste of valuable resources.
Countless health officials are pushing a medically worthless chemical injection that offers absolutely no benefit or protection. Pharmaceutical companies, who fund the World Health Organisation marketing costs for HINI, must marvel as to how easy it is to brainwash medical health authorities around the world. Swine flu has infected and killed far less people than ordinary flu and has proved to be an extremely weak strain which could easily have been contained by simple hygiene and good nutrition. The virus never achieved pandemic status.
However, our health officials claimed that if we did not spend millions of pounds of public money, we would have 35,000 infected victims, hospitals and mortuaries overloaded and our Island brought to a standstill, as announced in the JEP and on CTV. It was ludicrous spin to justify the excessive expense.
Even in Mexico, where swine flu originated with no vaccine available to treat it, the numbers never reached anywhere near the estimated levels that Jersey Health officials predicted. While our States ministers seem to be prudent with public funding one moment (hence the Plémont defeat), they were not so cautious when voting for swine flu vaccine. No other country spent this amount of money per head of population.
Many doctors and scientists are speaking out against one of the biggest frauds of the century. The American Consumer Association has offered a $10,000 reward for anyone who can prove that the HINI vaccine actually works. Not a single doctor, scientist or pharmaceutical company has been able to, so why did we buy it and why so much?
Tamiflu, well that’s another story and another waste of money – it’s banned in some countries due to side effects and its lack of effectiveness, yet Jersey endorses it and has spent huge sums on it –why?
The latest bulletin from our health service is that, as we have another 80,000 short dated vaccines on the way, we are going to donate these to poorer countries, who can’t afford to buy it. They in turn will inject this obnoxious chemical into unsuspecting people who have no need of it.

What a brilliant letter. I totally agree, thank you for pointing out what was available for our so called Health Department to know about in the beginning, had they done the investigation you have done.
All warnings about the Swine Flu Pandemic scam were on the web and Natural news sites.
Still, when did anyone in authority listen to us A? Just another excuse to throw away our money.

Me too,It was so obvious a scam from the start.
And my doctor shook his head when I told him I did not wan,t vaccine and believed it was the usual panic spin to empty our pockets and make the drug companies rich.
Raise the risk factor to 5 or 6 to get more people to get it,more like raise their profits.
The W.H.O heavily funded by the drug companies will most likely talk their way out of this one
I see they are back-tracking now with any excuse they can why they wasted all this money.
Mind you them at the WHO did a great job convincing medical advisers the world over it would kill millions,when all it did was make them millions!

I said this would come to nothing and guess what it has come to nothing. How many of the 180,000 doses have been dumped now they have passed their sell by date? Yet more waste of time and money from the states and their advisors IMHO.

A question for Mr & Mrs Stephen Harewood and all the other allied naysayers, if I may.
Just what would you all have said if the H1N1 epidemic had reached this island and the local government had made no preparations to combat it?
I think, somehow that the Harewoods, Linda, Bella, Adrian and all the others still lurking on the sidelines would have been up in arms (or down in bed), moaning and whinging that the Medical Officer of Health had been totally remiss, and failing in her duties by not taking prophylactic measures to beat the epidemic.
Which way would you prefer things to have been: for the Health Department to have buried its collective head in the sands of St Ouen – or for the greater majority of Jersey’s population to remain healthy and well?
You cannot have it both ways, Mr & Mrs Harewood.

Magnolia Man,
Whilst I appreciate your point of view, I think the point I, for one, am trying to make is that there should have been much more investigation into what exactly was going on with this so called Pandemic in the beginning, when there were several signs that it was not one.
Everything was rushed through without proper checks and balances done, I think it was classed as a pandemic after only two deaths in Mexico, the Baxters 76kg of contaminated vaccine sent to 16 countries, the CBS reporter who discovered that any sort of sniffle was inaccurately reported as genuine swine flu, and that there were in fact a miniscule number of actual cases, the vaccine was not properly tested, the Pharmaceutical companies absolving themselves from any responsibility for any comebacks on what they had produced etc.
Several things pointed to a situation which should have been thoroughly investigated before action was taken almost on the point of hysteria.
You say would we have preferred the Health Department to have buried its collective head in the sand at St Ouens, well I believe they did that, and voted for the ‘cure’ with their a**e*!
All they have ended up doing is to fill people, mostly our children, with toxins which they could no doubt pay the price physically for, later in life.

Thank you for your response, Linda.
From what you (and the others) have written I gain the impression that the Medical Officer of Health and her deputy would have been condemned if they had not taken precautions against the so-called swine flu, and damned if they had not.
What seems to have been forgotten is that Jersey is still a democracy, and that every man and woman who was offered the vaccine or Tamiflu had a choice: they could have accepted the medications or they could have refused them.
The same democratic choice was in the hands of the parents of every child under the age of 18 years. They could have said “yes” to vaccination or – on the other hand – they could have said “no” on their children’s behalf.
I do not recall reading in any print medium, or seeing on any television channel, that people in Jersey were being forced at gunpoint to be vaccinated against swine flu. The same applies to ‘blogs and radio stations in Jersey.
A healthy weekend to you, Linda!

Magnolia Man,Are you aware of the side effects of Tamiflu.I am,please check this out,and I refused to have this vaccination as a result of the possible side effects.

Open Minded (#7):
You took what you saw to be the correct course, and for that I congratulate you.
On the other hand, as an octogenerian with a lot of medical “form”, I accepted the offer of vaccination (with absolutely no deleterious consequences) and “swine ‘flu” passed me by.
I therefore had no need for Tamiflu, nor did I feel any need to investigate its alleged side effects.

For weeks, myself and others were critized through these forums for our decisions not to take or let our children take the swine flu vaccine or the tamiflu. One contributer even went as far as saying my children should be banned from school unless they recieved the vaccine. I am so glad I did not allow myself to be bullied and stuck to my decisions.
As a point of interest, on November 23 Magnolia Man posted the following comment.
I really think that Dr Rosemary Geller is now entitled to say (although I know she would never do so), “I told you so!”
Well, I would like to say to Magnolia Man and all those others.
“I Told You So”

Over 35,000 people took the jab, that leaves approx 65,000 who did not. If swine flu was as deadly as they said it was then why was there not any deaths in Jersey or any pandemic?
I was in and around Mexico when it first broke and back then the public were saying that it is been blown out of proportion. The UK don’t even know how many people were actually infected with swine flu because they stopped testing for it.
More people die from the normal flu virus yet there is no big push on getting people in to have JABS!
I am not saying that we should not be ready for any possible pandemic but who authorised the purchase of the jab of a quantity 2 jabs per person in Jersey? should this amount of money been spent.
To me the swine flu scare was like this weekend… a storm that never happened.

Magnolia Man,
I wasn’t going to bother to reply to your letter, because I thought it might be a waste of time and effort, however I will try to get you to see the other side, as maybe you were not put under the psycological pressure which was exacted on the young parents regarding the ‘urgent need’ to have the injections or pills. The scaremongering from ‘those in charge’ of health was such that a lot of people quite frankly felt there was no time to research, or even question the decision that the ‘prevention’ was what comes now, end of.
I actually got 3 letters informing me that my injection was waiting, even after I had told my Dr I didn’t want it. Like Bella, my Dr who I love, was shocked, and even went to the extreme of saying he hoped I wouldn’t find myself in intensive care wishing I had had the injection. ! I refused the seasonal flu injection as well, and for the first winter ever, I found I did not need several doses of antibiotics, nor steroids. Dr was very surprised at that.
Also, another friend with heart problems, was told he HAD to have it because of his heart condition, and he subconciously felt he had no choice, he states he has never been so ill since, and wished he’d never had the injection, he’s still trying to get over it.
Don’t forget also, the parents who were told their children who had not had ‘protection’ would not be allowed in school.
There was no actual ‘forced at gunpoint’ situation, although I believe this was to be the next step in some parts of the world had the Swine flu actually been more real.
However, a lot of mind games and fear tactics were used to panic people into doing something when in all honesty doing nothing, would have seen Swine Flu pass them by, as it did me and a lot of the others who stood their ground and said no.
The Island could have been saved a fortune, and our Islands children not subjected to being injected with heavy metal toxins which only accumulate in their systems.
Maybe at your age, you are not too worried about the next 80 years of even more so called ‘prevention’ injections for almost everything, adding to your heavy metal load, after all, there wasn’t the amount of these things in the first half of your life, unlike our up and coming youngsters, whose lives from start to finish will be filled with heavy metals, and I don’t mean the bands !
If you still don’t get our concerns or point of view then quite honestly there’s no hope, and I give up, I’m not into flogging dead horses, but at least someone else might read all this and be suitably made aware.
Much Love x

I was one of the others criticized too.
Ridiculed and mocked for even suggesting it was a scare-mongering tactic.
Sometimes basic instinct is all you need to know,without all the hype from the health experts

Better surely to purchase enough vaccine to cover the high risk groups with an option to purchase more later. Also what is not generaly covered or mentioned is the cost of beds and ventilators also purchased in the name of the great swine flu swindle. It’s taxpayers money being flushed down the drain here !
