Vaccine exp ert questions swine flue shots

Health. Education and W elfare, insists,
however, that “ail the test results so far
and the evidence in had do not indicate
any connection between the vaccine and
the reported deaths.'
D r. M orris disagrees. It is bis belief
that a swine flu outbreak is highly unlike
ly. that the immunization program is in
itself dangerous, and th at the vaccine in
use is ineffective in any event.
D r. M orris believes it was just suck
criticism, expressed in a letter to Food
and D ru g Commissioner Alexander
Schmidt in July, that resulted in his firing
tw o days later.

The g o ' ernment's initial
Rorvik
(P N S ) - The recent deaths of elderiy
persons following vaccinations for A New
Jersey influenza. or “swine flu.” have
prompted strong new enucisms from the
scientific community over President
Ford's
already
controversial
mass
mununizatmn program.
Government health officials maintain
that among every 100.000 individuals
over the age of CO. 10 or 11 can be
expected to die in any given 24 hour
period - enough to account for the re
parted deaths
But D r. J. .Anthony Mom s , who
recent
after D r. M o m s discovered that the
when injected into
acce 1er
ated the formation of mammary cancer.
Scientists then attem pted to make an
effetive vaccine out of killed influenza
virus - something D r. M o m s doubts can
be done.
He explained that, because the A New
Jersey strain of flu - which some say
resembles the swine flue virus that re
sulted in the 1916 eptdem » - did not
grow fast enough to prepare the vaccine
in sufficient quantity, an unusual tech
nique was adopted.
The A-New Jersey virus was gen et»
ally combined w ith the n u d e » add of a
fast-growing
influenza
virus.
The
resulting mutation was then able to repb
cate rapidly when incubated in eggs,
from which the vaccine now being used is
derived.
A fte r billions of doses erf the genetically
engineered vaccine had been manufac
tured. D r M o m s says, it was shown that
one of the essential factors necessary for
protection against influenza of his strain
- an “antigen" - was missing from the
long term
sks " If the government really
believes th at these people who are dying
fail within the anticipated statistical
grouping of 11 per 100.000. then why
wasn't the pub)» alerted to the fact" that
natural deaths would occur before the
program began?
“The tru th is.- says D r. M iller, “th at
there has never been a program in which
you line up people 60 years old and older,
many of them w ith bad hearts, make
them stand in line for 30 minutes or an
hour, and then, on top of that stress,
stick a needle m them .“ M o m s adds.
“In the past, older people who wanted
to be vaccinated went to th eir own
physicians who could examine them, and
then if they appeared pale, feverish or
sick, tell them to come back a t a later
tune for th eir vacnnatioo."
D r. M o m s was fired from his post as
chief vaccine control officer of the D m
sion of Biologies - w here he had worked
since 1940 - and director of the govern
m ents Slew Latent and Tem perate Virus
Branch last July following his criticism of
the vaccine program then.

N a tio n a l
Comm ittee for Responsible Science,
which is seeking to review national vac
cinatioB policy adds u> the criticism, as
serting: “A substantial number of people
who died afte r receiving those shots
would be alive had it not been for the
vaccination program."
Turner, author of The Chemical Feast,
a book based on Nader $ Raiders invest!
gallons of the Food and D ru g Admuus
tratfon. agrees that the stresses aaaon
ated w ith the immunization program. if
not the vaccine itself, are responsible for
many of the deaths.
Government health officials declare
that the benefits of protection against the
“«wine flu" outw eirh the risks of stress

tary for health in the Departm ent of
“T h is .“ he says, "is just one of its
documentable defects.”
O ther scientists have asserted that
there is no hard evidence that the A-N ew
Jersev virus w h » h killed one person at

to the swine flu strain.
And even if it is. says D r. M artin
Goldfield, one of of the doctors who dis
covered the new virus, “swine flu was
unable to compete w ith A Victoria at F t.
D ix Swine flu is certainly no more
virulent and possibly is less virulent than
A -V icto ria.“
“I f it w ere up to roe,” said D r. M o m s
last summer just before he was fired. “I
wouldn’t even start making the vaccine.”
D r. M orris claims that immediately
following his tetter to Schmidt in which
he warned of the possible dangers and
ineffectiveness of the vaccine, he was

He says F D A officials then seized his

three years in an effort to determ ine
long term effects of the flu vaccine.
According to F D A officials. D r. M orris
was fired for -insubordination.* The live

cannot be used in another.
Researchers who had been working
with D r. M orris

was indicating th a t many, and perhaps all
flu vaccines can induce hypersensitivity
in significant numbers of persons
Hypersensitivity means that an indivi
dual who gets a flu shot and is later
exposed to the flu may actually get a
more severe case of the disease than if be

D r. M orris contended in an article m
