My Journey to the Vaccine City.

My journey to the vaccine city started since 1796 where the first small pox vaccine was conceptualised. This journey has never been easy and still will never be easy now and future. Along the journey, many pregnant women exposed to Rubella popularly known as German measles had their children suffered crippling birth defects, and this called for my over-speeding to the vaccine city. My over-speeding was worsened by countless U.S. servicemen ( 330,000) being exposed to the Hepatitis B as a result of yellow fever vaccines contamination with blood plasma from carrier hepatitis B donors. Near fifty thousand of the vaccinated U.S. Servicemen had dangerous liver disease, and between one hundred and one hundred and fifty died.

Cutter laboratories, a California-based company facilitated my avoidable accident if due diligence was considered. This company made live disease-causing virus and this paralysed one hundred and ninety-two people, killing ten children. What nearly killed me before reaching the vaccine city was the discovery of monkey kidney cells to make famous Salk polio vaccine which harboured the monkey virus called SV40; tens of millions American children who had already received the contaminated injections.

Leonard Hayflick In 1962 rescued me with a breakthrough W1-38 cells to make vaccines for more than three hundred millions of U.S. preschoolers to safely reach the vaccine city. This young scientist whispered to me that cells were needed to energise me to reach the vaccine city. A copycat group of cells have been developed using the method of Hayflick to make additional six billion vaccines to empower me reach the vaccine city to protect people against range of viral diseases like Rubella, Rabies, Chicken pox, measles, Polio, Hepatitis A, Shingles and Adenovirus. This W1-38 cells launched long time ago is still my power currently as I get near the vaccine city in this COVID-19 era due to the large initial stock and the power of exponential growth when thawed by Hayflick.

However, my journey to the vaccine city has been antagonised by so many factors like anti-vaccination autism-induced conspiracy theories, Fraudulent research, some conflicting information from some highly medical experts and others.

According to Michael Kinch in his book; Between Hope & Fear; A History of Vaccines and Human Immunity, the main motive people avoided me from arriving safely at the vaccine city was based on agonising fears of different spectrum of diseases as well as those associated with autism. Andrews Wakefield can be said to be the brain behind this thinking by his fraudulent research methodologies and error-prone data analysis, hence can be accounted for recurrence of common childhood diseases.

Admittedly, my difficulties along my journey to the vaccine city cannot be overlooked by the precedents such as paralytic fear of polio vaccines, death-induced vaccines and others. This therefore brings the questions of quality and quantity of life for all people on my journey to the vaccine city. Nevertheless, the claims of autism associated with vaccines need adequate empirical data to substantiate the claims as this has been the song of some big personalities like Jenny McCarthy and Donald Trump, hindering my smooth journey to the vaccine city.

Some medical gurus like Dr. Archie Kalokerinos and Dr. Viera Scheibner seemed to suggest that vaccines theory is the biggest medical fraud, hence my journey to the vaccine city can be impeded by these theories of mindsets. Dr. Archie Kalokerinos ( paediatrician for over 30years) said “The further I looked into it, the more shocked I became. I found that the whole vaccine business was indeed a gigantic hoax. Most doctors are convinced that they are useful, but if you look at the proper statistics and study the instance of these diseases, you will realise that this is not so”. Dr. Viera Scheibner added that “There is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent any disease”.

All these arguments have made people pointing their fingers on my journey to the vaccine city as creating panics for profit especially in this COVID-19 era. This seems to reinforce people’s common thought that “when does flu season start; The flu season starts when the drug companies have millions of flu vaccines waiting to be sold”. My journey to the vaccine city has been very tougher by the perception that “disease like wars are manufactured for profit; behind are drug companies”

But it cannot be ruled that my journey has not helped to eradicate many deadliest plagues known to man? My journey to the vaccine city has been challenged by current and future threats and even old and new threats like Ebola, Zika and the Almighty COVID-19. My journey to the vaccine city depends on the anti-vaccine movement people who have not directly experienced the devastation wreaked by maladies like polio or measles to either proceed or discontinue.

It can be deduced that in order to determine the importance of my journey to the vaccine city, think through the following;

1. Who benefits from the disease mongering and the sale of vaccines?

2. What is the chance of me contracting this disease if I don’t vaccinate versus if I do vaccinate?

3. What are the vaccine ingredients?

4. What are the risks/side effects of the vaccination?

5. What causes the disease?

6. Has the study demonstrated that the vaccines work?

Do you support the journey to the vaccine city or not? Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
