WASHINGTON – With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration scheduled to begin nationwide delivery this week of swine flu vaccine to 90,000 government-approved locations, attorney James Turner filed a complaint Friday in federal court in the District of Columbia for a Temporary Restraining Order to halt the distribution, licensing and use of four controversial vaccines -- including their use under an existing Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) -- until there has been adequate safety testing and a full opportunity for public hearings.

The suit challenges the Sept. 15 licensing of four swine flu vaccines, alleging that the FDA violated the law in its hurried approval by failing to determine the safety and efficacy of the vaccines as required by law since 1964.

Turner told NewsWithViews that none of the procedures that should have been done, and that make up a formal administrative record, had been done.

“Our argument is that they’re required to follow the law that says how you determine something is safe and effective,â€

To date, the FDA has produced absolutely no scientific evidence documenting safety tests for any of these swine flu vaccines. There are no published studies, no records of any clinical trials, and no publicly-available paper trail demonstrating that any safety testing was done whatsoever. There is no researcher who has publicly put their name on the record declaring the vaccines to be safe, and no FDA official has ever stated that scientifically-valid safety testing has ever been conducted on the vaccine / adjuvant combinations now being distributed across America.

I want to know if these claims are accurate immediately. Will anyone take this on and research this for us?

Me and all the ALIPAC top folks are fully deployed in the fight against Amnesty and the Tea Party events today.

If I have to stop what Im doing to look into this myself, I will.

Will a volunteer or volunteers please step forward to do the background checks on this information for us asap please?

Nurses sue to block mandatory swine-flu shot
'Hundreds of co-workers feel just as strongly against the vaccine'

Several nurses are suing the state of New York to protect themselves from mandatory swine flu vaccinations
– saying threats of being fired for refusing shots violate their civil rights.

Albany Medical Center nurses face a week of suspension without pay and termination if they don't accept both the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccinations by Oct. 27.

According to a New York mandate, all health-care workers must be vaccinated by Nov. 30.

But the four nurses argue that proper hygiene – such as washing hands and covering mouths and noses when coughing and sneezing – is an equally effective method for combating the flu. They also expressed concerns about possible side effects of the H1N1 vaccine.

"I have had more staff that have become ill after the flu vaccines this year than co-workers that have actually come down with the illness," Lorna Patterson, one of the nurses, told Albany's WTEN-TV.

She said she believes more time is needed to learn about the vaccine's effectiveness. Patterson, a nurse for 28 years, said she hasn't receive the flu shot since she was a teenager.

Patterson's co-worker, nurse Katheryn Dupuis, said she's only received a flu shot once in her 10-year career as an emergency room nurse.

"We're going to lose our jobs if we do not get this vaccine," Dupuis said. "There are hundreds of co-workers of ours that feel just as strongly against the vaccine."

(Story continues below)




The nurses are collecting signatures on petitions to area hospitals and health-care providers. They have at least 500 signatures on one, and several others are circulating through the community. They have also scheduled a protest at the capitol Wednesday at 1 p.m.

According to Albany's WRGB-TV 6, the group is concerned that pharmaceutical companies have been given immunity in case complications from the vaccine arise.

The nurses plan to file their lawsuit against state Health Commissioner Dr. Richard Daines in New York Supreme Court by the end of this week.

The Department of Health says it will vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit, and health officials are confident the regulation will be upheld by the court, WXXA-TV 23 reports.

But Patterson and Dupuis said they will retire or find nursing positions outside of New York if the state doesn't withdraw its mandate.

"I don't think anybody wants to achive that kind of result," their lawyer, Terry Kindlon, told WTEN. "The health-care workers are being stampeded into this, and we're supposed to be a thoughtful, rational society that deals with things through due process and careful reflection. That's not what [New York] wants them to do here.

"They're saying, 'Look you guys, get the shots or in the next two weeks, you're on the street.' That's criminal. That's ridiculous. That's insane."

Aother lawsuit filed in New York City against Daines and Jeffrey Kraut, chairman of the state Hospital Planning and Review Council, argues that the state does not have the authority to mandate vaccines.

Kindlon said other lawsuits are arising throughout the state, and the New York Civil Liberties Union may file a legal complaint in coming weeks.

Urgent lawsuit filed against FDA to halt swine flu vaccines; claims FDA violated federal law

Friday, October 09, 2009
by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Health freedom attorney Jim Turner is filing a lawsuit in Washington D.C. mid-day Friday in an urgent effort to halt the distribution of the swine flu vaccine in America. On behalf of plaintiffs Dr. Gary Null and other licensed health care workers of New York State, the lawsuit charges that the FDA violated the law in its hasty approval of four swine flu vaccines by failing to scientifically determine neither the safety nor efficacy of the vaccines.

"The suit will seek an injunction against the FDA from approving the vaccine," attorney Jim Turner told NaturalNews on Thursday evening's Natural News Talk Hour show. "And the core of the argument is that they have not done the proper safety and efficacy tests on the vaccine to allow it to be release at this time."

The suit seeks to not only nullify the FDA's unlawful "approval" of the four H1N1 influenza vaccines, but to also ask the court to issue an injunction that would halt any mandatory vaccination requirements.

"The FDA is required by law to establish that a vaccine is safe and effective before it can be given to the public," said Turner. "We are arguing that they did not establish that the vaccine was effective, and did not establish that it was safe. They are trying to get it on the market by a waiver."



Vaccine / adjuvant combination has never been properly tested
The vaccine / adjuvant combination being referred to as the "swine flu vaccine" has apparently never been safety tested or approved by the FDA. In fact, in many cases the vaccine is being sent to clinics, pharmacies and other health establishments separately from the adjuvant chemical, leaving it up to each local vaccine retailer to properly mix the vaccine with the adjuvant, according to information provided by Turner. With hundreds of millions of Americans potentially being targeted with this vaccine, the potential for improper mixing, improper dosages, and human error is alarming.

If the charges described in the lawsuit are true, it means the FDA has blatantly abandoned medical science and violated its own regulations in approving not only these four vaccines, but the potentially deadly adjuvant chemicals as well. To date, the FDA has produced absolutely no scientific evidence documenting safety tests for any of these swine flu vaccines. There are no published studies, no records of any clinical trials, and no publicly-available paper trail demonstrating that any safety testing was done whatsoever. There is no researcher who has publicly put their name on the record declaring the vaccines to be safe, and no FDA official has ever stated that scientifically-valid safety testing has ever been conducted on the vaccine / adjuvant combinations now being distributed across America.

Normally, when a pharmaceutical achieves "FDA approved" status, there is a considerable paper trail of scientific scrutiny, peer review, clinical trials and other supporting evidence. To our knowledge, no such documents exist for the swine flu vaccines. The FDA's approval of these vaccines appears to be based entirely on a whim.

"What has been tested?" asked attorney Jim turner. "Where has it been tested? Who reviewed the test? Who looked at the test and said yes they proved safety and efficacy? There is no record that we can find that shows these things have been done."

By approving the four vaccines in the absence of such safety testing, the FDA itself stands in direct violation of federal law. "There is a law that they're supposed to follow and they are not following it," Turner added.


Billions of dollars are at stake
Why, then, did the FDA apparently violate the law and push these vaccines into full public distribution without securing the safety testing required by law? Turner suspects a profit motive may be involved: "They're charging $24.95 to get a vaccine. Multiplied by 100 million people, that's a lot of money. If you do the whole society, you're talking about several billion dollars."

“Stop the Shotâ€

Thimerosal

Thimerosal is the preservative of choice for vaccine manufacturers. First introduced by Eli Lilly and Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the company began selling it as a preservative in vaccines in the 1940s. Thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury by weight and is metabolized or degraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Mercury, or more precisely, ethylmercury, is the principle agent that kills contaminants. Unfortunately, mercury also kills much more than that.

The Department of Defense classifies mercury as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Studies indicate that mercury tends to accumulate in the brains of primates and other animals after they are injected with vaccines. Mercury poisoning has been linked to cardiovascular disease, autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and many other nervous system conditions. That's why the FDA rigorously limits exposure to mercury in foods and drugs. Some common sources of mercury include dental amalgam fillings, various vaccines and certain fish contaminated by polluted ocean waters.

The toxicity of mercury has never been in question. The real question is precisely how much mercury-laced thimerosal is toxic, and what are the possible consequences for our children at low doses?

Eli Lilly and Co. supposedly answered this question for us back in 1930. Concluding thimerosal to be of "a very low order of toxicity . . . for man," the company hired its own doctors to perform thimerosal experiments in Indianapolis City Hospital on meningitis patients during a severe outbreak in 1929. This 60-year-old evidence was still quoted on the company's brochures as recently as 1990. Andrew Waters, who is involved in a lawsuit against Eli Lilly, claims that most critical studies on the toxicity of thimerosal were suppressed by the company until now.

Lawsuit filed against FDA to halt swine flu vaccines

When will government learn that when dealing with relatively free people (that is, government has not consolidated dictatorial powers, yet) that suggestion is much better accepted than coercion? Stupid government. It is EXACTLY like George Washington said, “GOVERNMENT IS NOT REASON; it is not eloquent; it is FORCE. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.â€

If you do the whole society, you're talking about several billion dollars." In fact, the U.S. vaccination push could ultimately target over 200 million Americans, generating nearly $5 billion in vaccine-related revenues. Cashing in on those revenues, however, requires three things:1) Spreading fear about H1N1 swine flu by exaggerating its dangers.2) Quickly making a vaccine available for sale, even if it has never been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy.3) Aggressively marketing the vaccines before the H1N1 swine flu fizzles out and can no longer be hyped up as "highly virulent."All three of these conditions are now being pushed aggressively in the U.S. by pharma-influenced health authorities at both the state and federal level. There is a mad, cult-like rush under way to vaccinate American citizens with an unproven, untested chemical that was thrust into distribution in apparent violation of federal law. And if this vaccine is not stopped, the price that may ultimately be paid in terms of lost lives could be quite dire.It all harkens back to 1976 when a previous formulation of the swine flu vaccine paralyzed and killed thousands of Americans. Turner was one of the attorneys instrumental in halting that vaccine, and he fears a repeat situation could potentially recur today. He told NaturalNews, "[In 1976] they were intending to inoculate 200 million people. We stopped them... and somewhere between 40 and 50 million people were vaccinated. What ultimately brought it down is that a substantial number of people got 'French Polio' [Guillain-Barre syndrome], a paralysis that goes... through the body, and if it goes far enough you die."About health freedom attorney Jim TurnerJim Turner, with Citizens for Health (www.Citizens.org), is one of the most accomplished and respected health freedom attorneys practicing today.

Napolitano on swine flu from Mexico: No need to close border, just use personal responsibility.



Published on April 28th, 2009
Gary Shumway in Homeland Security

I thought that the Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, just could not get any more incompetent. I was wrong. Her latest attempt at controlling the potential swine flu epidemic is classic bungling. Her suggestion that those in Mexico use ‘personal responsibility’ in not spreading the disease is moronic at best. How can they use ‘personal responsibility’ if they are breaking our laws coming into the U.S. in the first place? Not to mention the multi-day incubation period while they do not even know that they are carrying the disease. Good move, barry, on tapping Napolitano for DHS. Good GOD, man! WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING! Or not?

From thehill.com by Bridget Johnson dated 04/27/2009 entitled “Napolitano: Closing border not the answer to flu“:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended the government’s response at a press conference Monday afternoon as reporters asked her about the risk of asymptomatic swine flu carriers entering the country.

Napolitano said the strategy of identifying and isolating those who seem ill and try to cross into the United States was adequate given the circumstances, as a reporter asked if closure of the border had been considered.

“We’re already doing passive surveillance at the border,â€
