WITH regard to a letter written by myself erroneous reference was made with regard to vaccines
Thalidomide is indeed a drug and not a vaccine. Polio being the case in point that I actually wanted to raise with regard to vaccine safety, which should have been inserted in place of thalidomide, the erroneous passage only coming to light after posting, it was incomplete and didn’t read right, as was the initial intention. There was no deliberate intent to mislead.
Historically cases of polio were attributed to polio vaccines given to the public, even though they had passed required safety testing, the vaccines being produced by Cutter Laboratories, which contained live polio virus. The event, which came to be known as the Cutter Incident, resulted in many cases of paralysis.
Thalidomide in itself was meant to further highlight that even drugs development, like vaccines, can be a concern for safety.
I am totally with Joanne when she says vaccines have done more good than bad. However, a bad, that was presented to be good, was the tetanus vaccine given to children and women in Kenya during a Bill Gates/WHO African tetanus campaign, which unbeknownst to the recipients contained anti-fertility formula... discovered in all samples tested by independent laboratory technicians.
Incidentally, similar accusations came from Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines.
Councillor McBride thinks it will rival The Angel of the North and that it will improve footfall. Speaking of which, the ruling junta reminds me of the Ministry of Silly Walks but this is our money and not funny. tale and I think the Council ought to be given credit for beginning the process of sorting out what has become a proverbial ‘blot on the landscape,’ and in particular for securing the museum for the building and town where Rugby League came into being. entry on to land by criminal damage, trespass, illegal parking, illegal waste disposal and fly-tipping, anti-social and threatening behaviour, reported increases of criminal activity in affected areas, all combined with a casual attitude towards employment laws, taxation and education of their children.
These people are ‘travelling’ roughshod over the lives of ordinary hard-working people who pay their dues, obey the law and act in a civilised manner, and nobody seems to have the guts to stand up to them and hold them to account.
Pathetic.
