Dr. Albert Sabin
Interpretacion en otros lenguajes
Dr. Albert Sabin was a physician and researcher who was able to make a vaccine for the poliomyelities virus in the 1950s. We learn that Dr. Jonas Salk's vaccine that used killed polio virus was approved and used successfully. We learn that Dr. Sabin theorized that inactivated or weakened polio virus would lead to a greater immune reaction that would be more effective against the poliomyelitis virus. We learn that Dr. Sabin was able to create another polio virus vaccine to fight against polio virus infection.
We learn that both vaccines were effective against fighting the polio virus seeing that the number of cases of polio in the 1950s decreased substantially. We learn that this described the two methods that are usually used by researchers to create vaccines. We learn that there is the killed virus method that prevents individuals from obtaining sickness or illness seen in Dr. Salk's polio vaccine that was highly effective and efficient at reducing polio infection.
We learn that the other method of producing vaccines is the inactivated virus method that uses weakened virus strains to prevent infection and stimulate an immunological response. We learn that both vaccines were researched over 8-10 years and were tested to make sure there were no side effects or adverse reactions to the individual's health. We learn that science can be used to create great discoveries seen in the poliomyelitis vaccines of the 1950s. We learn that since the use of polio vaccines starting with Dr. Salk's vaccine, polio infections decreased significantly.
We learn that along with penicillin and certain medications in the last century, there were great improvements in health and well being. We can learn about the vaccines in order to guard ourselves from newer vaccines that have not been researched for 8-10 years and have not been tested compared to previous approved and studied vaccines. We can learn that science can help when used with integrity and ethics, while making sure that we do not place all our attention or importance on science. We know that GOD Almighty is LORD and Creator and that instead we worship GOD Almighty who allows us to distinguish truth from false lies. Instead of making science our everything, we can decide to worship GOD Almighty and learn about science with responsibility and integrity so that we guard ourselves from pseudo-science and unresearched medication and vaccines.
Albert Sabin Described the Need to Be Cautious About Unneeded Vaccinations in the 1970s
"He spoke at the University of Toledo on May 17, recommending that the vaccine be made but held in storehouses unless and until it was clear that a deadly swine flu epidemic was in progress."- (page 156)
Albert Sabin who created a successful new vaccine against the poliomyelitis virus, was able to describe hesitancy towards immunizing all of the United States' population with a new vaccine against a virus that had affected a few soldiers in a specific fort in 1976. The virus was considered to be similar to a deadly strain of flu and almost like the flu of 1918. There was a virus that had affected a fort and killed a soldier and infected a few others, yet scientists took to create a new vaccine of the virus. While not knowing which virus it was, scientists decided to create a vaccine against the virus for fear that it was similar to the "1918 flu virus". Sabin was an individual that cautioned against giving vaccines when the virus was not known and was not causing severe symptoms and had only infected a few people. While initially scientists attempted to speak on the need to vaccinate in a large scale all of the United States population describing the need of more than 120 million vaccines, we learn that Sabin cautioned against the use of such vaccines. Another physician, Dr. Martin Goldfield, stated that, "If Americans have flu shots in the numbers predicted [attempting to vaccinate all of the United States population in the 1970s], as many as 2,300 will have strokes and 7,000 will have heart attacks within two days of being immunized... Within a week after receiving flu shots, 45 people will develop encephalitis and more than 9,000 will get pneumonia."(page 161) Dr. Martin Goldfield, who was the chief epidemiologist of New Jersey described that there should not be a mass campaign to vaccinate the United States because healthy individuals could experience heath issues and side effects, "Healthy people might experience serious side effects from the vaccine... 'There are many dangers to going ahead with immunizing the population as there are with withholding. We can soberly estimate that approximately fifteen percent of the entire population will suffer disability reactions.'"(page 155). In the conclusion of the vaccination program in the 1970's, only 40 million vaccines were applied.
"Nonetheless, by mid-December, 40 million Americans, a third of the adult population, had had swine flu shots. It was twice as many as before immunized against flu in any single season and it was the largest vaccination program in history."-(page 167)
It was learned that after the vaccines were approved for use, some individuals began to experience vaccine side effects including heart attacks, strokes, and even Guillain-Barré syndrome. Sabin described in the time prior to the vaccines being distributed that there was the need to store the vaccines until there was a true need. Sabin described the need to see if there was a true need for the vaccines instead of vaccinating everyone in the United States. Sabin was able to speak out against the mass vaccination when the specific virus was not known at the time. The reason for vaccinating was because the virus seemed like the "1918 virus" while not actually knowing the specific strains of said virus. In 1977, it was concluded that the mass vaccination of individuals could have caused multiple cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome along with cases of heart attacks and strokes.
The Flu Virus of 1976 and Mass Vaccination
There was a flu in 1976 that devastated a fort and led to the death of a young soldier. There were four additional cases. Scientists thought that the virus was virulent and could cause significant difficulties. We learn that the scientists decided to create a flu vaccine although the flu strain was not completely known. The flu virus was described similar to a swine flu (although the specific strain was not known). The scientists believed that the flu may be similar to the “1918 flu” that devastated large numbers of people. We learn that in 1976, scientists created a flu vaccine against the virus of 1976. While it was generally agreed that the vaccine was necessary, Albert Sabin was one of the few individuals that expressed the need to hold the vaccine in safe storage until it was known if the virus was potentially virulent and dangerous.
We learn that Albert Sabin voiced his opposition in May 17, 1976, of vaccinating the whole United States population (120 million people) with the 1976 vaccine against the 1976 flu of unknown strain. This was because the virus had only affected a few individuals and was not as virulent compared to the 1918 virus. The option was to store the vaccine in storage until the virus was known to be lethal and virulent. The vaccine was given to 40 million people, and there were more than a few cases of heart attacks, strokes, Guillain Barré syndrome, and other side effects (some reports included multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, polyomyositis…). There were cases of heart problems in individuals who died starting ten days after immunization with the vaccines (page 165). Guillain Barré is a rare disorder that only affects 4,000–5,000 individuals per year, yet 1,100 cases were reported in December 1976 after vaccination with the flu vaccine in October 1st of 1976. (page 167, 168, 174). There is the description that Guillain Barré syndrome can lead to respiratory problems that lead to death in five percent of cases and in ten percent of cases individuals get a type of permanent paralysis.
The Mass Vaccination of the Flu Vaccine of 1976 Was Discontinued After Reports of Side Effects and Neurological Symptoms
We learned that there were individuals that were speaking out against the mass vaccination with the flu vaccine of 1976. By December of 1976, there were more than a 1,100 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome along with additional cases of neurological symptoms, heart problems, strokes, and side effects. This was all in reaction to a few cases of the flu that appeared to be like the “1918 flu”. We learned that only one soldier died and a few others were infected. The flu of 1976 did not affect the general population like it had affected the soldiers at the fort. The flu strain of 1976 could not be compared to the “flu of 1918” at that time because there was no 1918 flu strain sample to compare to. The intention was to use the 1976 virus to develop a "fast growing flu strain" for vaccinations when it was not known if the virus was virulent or similar to the 1918 flu. (page 137) “On Wednesday, December 15, the Centers notified doctors across the nation that they should continue giving swine flu shots.” (page 172)
An epidemiologist and neurologist, Dr. Lawrence Schonberger, along with Sabin had decided to speak out against the mass vaccination of the United States population after seeing the reports of possible cases of Guillain-Barré and other side effects. “A couple of additional cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome had been reported by then, making the association stronger. On Thursday, December 16, Sencer conceded that the swine flu vaccination program must be stopped because of the possibility that the vaccine might be causing Guillain-Barré syndrome. That day, with President Ford's agreement, Dr. Theodore Cooper, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, announced that the swine flu immunization campaign was over. There had not been a single case of swine flu and the prospect of any danger at all from the vaccine was chilling.” (page 174–175)
Even the Centers described how getting the vaccine was able to cause possible Guillain-Barré syndrome. There were other possible side effects of the 1976 flu vaccine describing “facial paralysis, nerve inflammation, encephalitis injuries to nerves of the hands and feet, brachial nerve inflammation, inflammations of the optic nerve, people whose nerves were losing their insulating layer, called myelin.” (page 174–175). This helps us know that there were actual risks to the flu vaccine of 1976 and the number of severe virulent flu cases were not actually increased to warrant the mass vaccination. This is described because the mass vaccination of the 1976 flu vaccine in the United States was terminated in December 1976 after Sabin had described the need to hold the vaccine on storage until it was deemed needed by a severe epidemic in May of 1976.
“The Centers concluded that the vaccine increased people's risk of getting the disease eightfold, and that the risk period extended for ten weeks after the immunization.The Centers also turned up people with a variety of other neurological disorders that commenced after the flu shots.”- (page 174–175)
The 1976 flu vaccine was given and caused severe reactions in individuals that even the Centers described how there was the indication that vaccinating with the flu vaccine of 1976 could have led to severe neurological side effects. The risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome was eight times higher for people vaccinated with the 1976 flu vaccine with the symptoms developing in the first six weeks after immunization. There was also additional side effects from the vaccine that included multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and polyomyositis. There was the understanding that the vaccine should have been discontinued after nine states suspended the administration of the vaccine due to deaths and side effects in October 1976, yet the vaccine was still given until December of 1976 (page 176).
Having Healthy Skepticism Concerning the Approval of New Medications and Vaccines
With the 1976 flu vaccine, we were able to learn that there is the need to have healthy skepticism concerning how the vaccines are approved. We learn there were vaccines like the polio vaccine that took 8–10 years to study and approve so that the side effects and unneeded symptoms could be researched. We learn that the polio vaccines created by Dr. Salks and Dr. Sabin were actually effective, efficient, and looked to prevent side effects from developing. We learn that the polio virus was essentially decreased with minimal cases after the administering of the two different polio vaccines in the 1950s. We learn that both vaccines, the inactivated and attenuated forms of the vaccines, were able to help the United States combat polio virus cases.
In the 1970s, Dr. Sabin had expressed concerns about mass vaccination of the United States with the 1976 flu vaccine when there were not that many cases of the 1976 flu virus nor multiple virulent cases. Dr. Sabin described the need to store the vaccine in storage until there was evidence that the 1976 virus was virulent and reaching epidemic levels in May of 1976. We learn that once the vaccine was administered and cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome were reported along with side effects that included pneumonia, neurological symptoms, heart problems, strokes, encephalitis, and multiple sclerosis among the side effects of the 1976 vaccine, there were physicians that spoke out against continuing the mass vaccination. We learn that a neurologist spoke about there being a possible correlation between having received the 1976 flu vaccine and cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Eventually, nine states decided to discontinue the administering of the vaccine in October 1976. The Centers decided to say that there was the need to keep administering the vaccine. Until December 1976 was the 1976 vaccine removed from use. The mass distribution of the 1976 vaccine describes the importance of having healthy skepticism when learning about new medications or new vaccines. We need to study the manner that the medications and vaccines are created, manufactured, and approved in order to make sound decisions concerning if we need said vaccine or medication. While the goal was to vaccinate 120 million Americans in 1976, there was only 40 million that were vaccinated, yet mutiple side effects and unneeded symptoms were observed. This is with the manner that insurance companies did not want to insure said 1976 vaccines because of the risk of side effects and symptoms. Insurance companies decided to not want to insure the vaccines being that they did not want to handle the probability of side effects and symptoms that could arise from the administering of the 1976 vaccines. The Federal Government decided to take on that responsibility and described that they would be responsible for the insuring of the 1976 vaccines. This led to cases where individuals that developed side effects and symptoms went to the government for restitution, yet even then, there were cases that were not compensated.
Denying Covid “Vaccines” and Persevering With Healthy Skepticism
This is interesting noting how in the covid “pandemic” of 2019, the pharmaceutical companies stated that they were not held liable for adverse side effects and symptoms. This describes how there is a need to guard ourselves from vaccines that are prepared in haste without 8–10 years of research. We learn that the covid “vaccine” was created in 9 months and was conditionally “approved” based on emergency use due to the “pandemic” when it did not have 8–10 years of careful investigation and research. While the vaccines have been administered over the past years including booster shots, there are questions as to why there are variants of covid instead of the eradication of the covid virus. We can have healthy skepticism to know that we do not need covid “vaccines” that have not described essential basic questions including where the “virus” originated, why the vaccine was the only method of treatment, why there are still variants years later, why individuals had to be vaccinated to go to school and/or work, why the media did not describe the importance of bolstering the immune system with adequate nutrition and exercise, why medication that was helping was removed, why there was more than one vaccine and booster needed to be “complaint”, why gyms were closed and individuals needed to be “vaccinated” to go to a gym, why the pharmaceutical companies did not want to be held responsible for side effects or unneeded symptoms of the “vaccine”, and why 6 month old infants need a dose of the vaccine?
Either manner, we can persevere knowing that we do not need any of the covid “vaccines” or “boosters”, and we can keep trusting in our immune system that GOD Almighty created in perfect manner, exercising every day minimum thirty minutes a day except for Shabbath, and making sure that we repent of sin and obey the commandments of Moses. We learn to trust GOD Almighty who tells us in the writings of Moses that if we obey the commandments, there are no illnesses of Egypt. We can keep motivated and have gratitude to persevere despite the times that we live in.
