The renowned Dr. Russell Blaylock issued a very on-point essay about the fears surrounding swine flu:br /br /“I was in the military during the first swine flu scare in 1976. At the time it became policy that all soldiers would be vaccinated for swine flu. As a medical officer I refused and almost faced a court martial, but the military didn’t want the bad publicity. Despite the assurance by all the experts in virology, including Dr. Sabin, the epidemic never materialized.br /br /“What did materialize were 500 cases of Gullian-Barre paralysis, including 25 deaths not due to the swine flu itself, but as a direct result of the vaccine. At the time President Gerald Ford, on advice from the CDC, called for vaccination of the entire population of the United States.br /br /“Today, the pharmaceutical companies are busy designing a vaccine for the swine flu in hopes that this administration will make the vaccine mandatory. And as before, a number of equally qualified experts are calling for calm, based on a number of carefully conducted studies. To no one’s surprise, they too are being ignored by the media and government planners.br /br /“According to science reports, this current strain of flu is H1N1. It can be forcibly inoculated into pigs, but it has been shown not to spread among the pig population. This means that the danger of a swine-based epidemic is small.br /br /“There are several strains of this flu virus however, including H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3. What the science has shown is that when the virus passes through the pig, it becomes less virulent—that is, it is less likely to cause serious disease in people. With each passage, it becomes even weaker.”br /br /strongDr. Grout’s Comment:/strongbr /br /Dr. Blaylock asks the timely question about where public health interests and financial concerns intersect.
