Subject: RE: BS: Drug Companies:as Bad as Bankers?
I always remember a story that my grandfather told of the scourge of a disease called diphtheria. Apparently the disease caused the throat to swell up until the victim literally choked. One of the only known cures was to put a red hot poker down the throat thus cauterising the infection. My grandfather had this done, and as a result survived the disease. He told me how his younger baby brother was not old enough and he remembers his mother holding the baby up to the open window to try to get air before he died. In this case innoculation was obviously a godsend when it was introduced.
Fast forward a bit to the years just after the Second War . It was accepted that all children should get measles, mumps and chicken pox and would then have natural immunity for life. None of these diseases struck terror into mothers the way the diphtheria and other such diseases. Measles, mumps and chicken pox can all of course be fatal in some cases where there are complications but we are fast entering on a system which pumps ever more innoculations into ever younger babies, as we swallow the propaganda that the drug companies and where the danger from the vaccines is equivalent to or even greater than the diseases themselves.
