US Govt Dropping Millions Of Vaccines From The Sky With Your Tax Dollars
Looks like the Government is playing with matches and gasoline again. Erin Elizabeth of Health Nut News fills us in on this latest waste of taxpayer money and a potential disaster waiting to happen.
According to Erin, what the Government is doing is dropping millions of flavored vaccines from the sky in an effort to control rabies in wildlife. Only it has potential to become a nightmare. The mixing of live vaccines with animals in an already weakened state from stress or disease will actually cause rabies in the animal. Once infected, that animal can then pass it on to other animals and so on.
Never before has rabies jumped from species to species like we’re seeing in todays world in non bite situations. Compliments of you know who.

Dangers of the Live Virus
The live virus vaccines found in the oral rabies baits are supposedly comprised of a weakened strain of rabies. This is theoretically done by recombining it with the pox virus. If that is true and if all goes well, the body will form an immune response to the vaccine, and the animal that eats the bait will be successfully vaccinated against rabies. That’s what happens when things go right.
When things go wrong, the animal is in a weakened state when he consumes the bait. When modified live vaccines are given to animals that are ill or stressed at the time of vaccination, there is a very real risk of vaccine failure or the vaccine actually producing the disease it is supposed to protect against. Alternately, any latent disease the animal may be harboring will become a full blown disease once he consumes the bait because of the resulting stress on his immune system. With humans encroaching on their territory at an alarming rate, it is likely safe to say that many members of the wildlife population are stressed and malnourished, making them susceptible to vaccine-induced illness.
Dr. Michael Fox wrote an outstanding account of the dangers of vaccines (Genetically Modified and Engineered Live Virus Vaccines: Public Health and Animal Welfare Concerns) where he notes:
Lions in Serengeti National Park, followed by those in the Masai Mara of Kenya, died like flies in 1994 from a new strain of canine distemper (CD). This followed a period between 1992-94 when domestic dogs of agropastoralists and farmers to the west, and Maasai pastoralists’ dogs to the east of the SNP boundaries, were being with experimentally vaccinated against rabies during a vaccination trial. The same new strain of CD in the rabies vaccinated domestic dogs was subsequently found in the lions and was then found to have caused the death from CD of most of a captive colony of wild dogs in Mkomzai Game Reserve in Tanzania in 2000-2001: these wild dogs had been vaccinated against CD.
Following this, in 2007 the same new CD strain was for the first time identified in free living African wild dogs in Maasai areas to the east of SNP where mass vaccinations of local domestic dogs were being carried out against CD, CPV and rabies. The outbreak confirmed in one large wild dog pack was associated with high mortality of this highly endangered canid species.
That’s not the only danger. Add to that the danger of pairing two viruses together to make one vaccine. The World Health Organization states that the widespread use of vaccinia against smallpox protection is not recommended due to potentially serious complications, yet we are bringing it back into the environment with these vaccines. In 2000, a pregnant woman found her dog eating one of these wildlife baits. When she tried to take it off the dog, she received a small puncture wound to her finger and a minor abrasion to her forearm. Eight days later, she was hospitalized with growing blisters, lesions and necrosis. Thankfully after five days of hospitalization, she recovered and her baby showed no obvious signs of trauma.
No Bite Required
There are other dangers inherent in genetically modified vaccines that make rabies baits pretty dangerous stuff. Splicing rabies onto other viruses can carry many risks that we are just recently becoming aware of. In Arizona and other parts of the US, rabies is starting to jump species. For the first time, we are seeing rabies jump from bats to foxes to skunks with no bite required. How can a virus jump species like that? Well, it seems that we really don’t know that much about genetically engineered vaccines, so nobody really has the answer to that. In fact, Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson Vaccine Center is developing a lot of these recombinant vaccines but has the following to say:
We are interested in understanding the interaction of rabies with the infected host at the molecular level. The molecular mechanism of rabies virus pathogenesis is not well understood, and our research analyzes the different functions of the rhabdoviral proteins (e.g. rabies virus) and their interactions with host proteins and the immune system.
Maybe somebody should figure that out before they go splicing that virus together with other viruses, creating one angry mutant virus.
