More History

My recent post A Different View of History is getting a lot of views. I’m not sure how it’s being shared, but I’m glad it is. Often I use my blog as a place to store information that I find for future reference and if others find it helpful, I am thankful.

I got the polio vaccine in the 1960s. My parents thought it was the responsible thing to do. My father worked for the CDC in public health for his entire career. He believed that what they were doing was helpful to the health and welfare of babies.

I believe it is time to do more historic investigations into so-called ‘virus outbreaks’. A 2003 article by Jim West does an excellent job of covering several commonly used pesticide poisons in vogue at the time of the ‘polio’ outbreak in the USA which led to the polio vaccine. Has this vaccine been a cash cow for a non-existent virus? Was the actual cause of the symptoms labeled ‘polio’ toxicity from exposure to poisons used in agriculture? I’ve included only a very brief excerpt. Please read the entire article and formulate your own opinion. The facts presented in the media and the historic perspective many of us have accepted all our life may not coney the entire story.

Pesticides and Polio: A Critique of Scientific Literature

“It was even known by 1945 that DDT is stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in the milk. With this foreknowledge the series of catastrophic events that followed the most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history, should not have surprised the experts. Yet, far from admitting a causal relationship so obvious that in any other field of biology it would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite, the overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign. . . .

“Early in 1949, as a result of studies during the previous year, the author published reports implicating DDT preparations in the syndrome widely attributed to a ‘virus-X’ in man, in ‘X-disease’ in cattle and in often fatal syndromes in dogs and cats. The relationship was promptly denied by government officials, who provided no evidence to contest the author’s observations but relied solely on the prestige of government authority and sheer numbers of experts to bolster their position. . . .

Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of over 40 years, and five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as ten grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.
