All week I have been considering blogging about Bill Gates and the Dimbleby lecture, he recently gave.
In it he talked about his foundations backing of the mass polio vaccination campaign for the lucky people in Africa.
How technology has allowed them to find settlements and seek out all those that want the vaccine.
I am sure there are many many people who must think this is just wonderful and what a philanthropic gesture this is.....I'm hoping that there are as equally as many if not more who might be viewing it with a bit more cynicism. It would be even better if some were viewing it with the question on the safety of vaccines and what might be the result of this.
Some of the worst outbreaks of polio recently have been in the vaccinated, like many outbreaks of illness that we vaccinate for.
In a sense, I am hoping that the need to put the other side of this is not necessary and that the world wide public are starting to see things differently.
The drug company making this vaccine, whose name i'm not giving credence to by including it, must be laughing all the way to the bank!
And what of the people who receive the joyous news that they are to get this vaccine, do they get the full facts? do they get to hear about the vaccines problems, do they get to hear of the side effects, the adjuvents within it, have they been shown ALL the studies....
Of course not, do any of us? At least we can google it and find our for ourselves if we want to take a vaccine, even if the Dr is less than forthcoming.
This seems like a mass vaccine programme sold as salvation. If those receiving it have not been given the FULL facts, why not? and then it looks less philanthropic, at best naive, but I'm sure the multi billionaire Mr Bill Gates, is far from that!
