This time the news is directed to vaccinations for adults. It has always been believed that vaccinations after 18 years of age were not necessary. Doctors who practice alternative methods of healing still believe this.
However the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and leading doctor organizations, recommend that adults continue to receive certain routine shots throughout their lives. They believe you must keep up immunity against infections diseases including tetanus, whooping cough, pneumonia and shingles.
And guess what is on the horizon now? A shingles vaccination has been approved by the FDA for adults 60 years and older. The vaccine is known as Zostovax and the manufacturer is the Merck Drug Company.
The market for this vaccine is large. There are approximately 50 million Americans over the age of 60 and more than 95 percent had chickenpox as children. Dr. David Markovitz says, "I don't think I would rush out and get it myself," who is 52 years old.
In 2002, a study published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) pointed out that vaccinating children against chickenpox increases the risk that adults develop shingles.
So here is another ridiculous situation that is created by Big Pharma. By attempting to eliminate an essentially harmless childhood disease, Chickenpox, another unnecessary disaster is being created.
Merck, the maker of shingles vaccine, joined hands with the National Institutes of Allergy and Infections Diseases and set up the Shingles Prevention study which eventually lead to the unveiling of Zostovax.
Except for the fact that you want to sell loads of expensive vaccines and increase your sales through the forced mandate of public school exclusion if you aren't vaccinated, none of this makes any sense. It doesn't make any sense at all to have a vaccine for shingles because the logical solution would be to stop the Chickenpox vaccination and allow this mild virus to do its job.
Big Pharma, the medical profession and even our government does a superior job of building fear in people about what they should do about their health. Getting a vaccine is at the top of their appeals.
Look at the ones they tout:
. West Nile Virus Vaccine
. Antibiotics to fight Anthrax
. Chickenpox vaccine
. A drug for breast cancer (for women who do not have breast cancer
. A human vaccine for bird flu
. And get this one. They are working on a vaccine for dental caries (cavities)
This is beyond ridiculous. The CDC actually defines dental caries as an infectious, communicable disease and vaccine for it may become reality sooner than you might believe.
There are many cultures in the world that never have tooth decay. And it has absolutely nothing to do with a vaccine. It is simply because these people are not eating processed food and sugars.
This is the whole truth about health. Take complete charge of your health and your odds for developing any serious illness or disease will be in your favor.
Sickness of any kind is really on advantage for Big Pharma and the medical profession. Think about it folks, would they be in business if thousands and thousands become well?
