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

(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."

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."

Oh, dear! I hope you feel better soon. I can certainly verify that your children strong and healthy!

[devistate one four]

Since the elite congress is in charge of the nation they should lead by example and get the dam shot first!

Then I will decide. Not until.

Flu came to my home yesterday. Doc appointment this afternoon.

If you know you have the flu, why would you waste your time going to the doctor? So he can say, yeah, you have the flu. Go home, rest, drink liquids and you’ll be better in a week. That’ll be $200 please?Oh, and don’t forget the other hundred dollars at the drug store for useless cough syrup and toxic tamiflu that will MAYBE cut 1-2 days off the symptoms IF you start it in time! If he’s a really useless doctor, he’ll give you an antibiotic for a virus as well- just in case- so you think your trip was worth the while. Unless you are experiencing symptoms that require immediate medical care (breathing distress/dehydration, etc..) going to a doctor is a waste of time, money and only prolongs and spreads the disease.

[sunny48]

Too late, already went to the doctor, as I said before, I don’t know why, I’ve never taken the kids to the doctor for the flu.
I guess so we could tell everyone we have swine flu and watch them gasp and I did want the asthmatic one checked.

We have private insurance so the visit was only $20. He told us not to listen to the media hype and he thought tamiflu wasn’t worth it but he would prescribe it if we wanted him to.

[TaxRelief]

Out of curiosity, have you ever had a flu shot while pregnant, or have you ever gotten the flu while pregnant?

[TaxRelief]

My Doc said the same thing. He did not think Tamiflu makes more than a 24 hour difference.

[TaxRelief]

1 in 1,000,000 got it in 1976... Much higher chance of getting it from the flu itself.

[TaxRelief]

My doc is refusing to give it to patients.

Then your "doc" will have a serious lawsuit on his hands the first time one of his patients denied the vaccine dies from the swine flu... a death that could have been prevented.

I’m conflicted. I contacted a wicked flu last year that almost killed me. Nothing helped me. The antibiotic choices were running dry. I am young and healthy. The flu ran its course prior to “swine flu” being reported as the culprit. However, I was infected in the high risk areas of the US and brought it back to my state.

Do I get my first shot to prevent a worse version of this type of flu? Or am I immune to the virus since I survived last year’s hell?

And if I and over 50,000 others die because of this virus, what will you say then?

[kara2008]

You say you are normally against getting the flu vaccine and you don’t want to get this one. Why would you change your mind now? Continue to follow your best judgment and don’t be bullied into doing something you “really don’t” want to do.

Personally, I would not take the H1N1 under any circumstances -- especially if I were pregnant. Has the vaccine been proven to be effective? Has it been proven to be safe? More importantly, has it been tested on pregnant women EVER? Have there been any studies on the short term and long term effects on newborns?

Of course you want to do everything you can to keep you and your baby healthy and safe. But is an untested and unproven vaccine the answer? Or, can you achieve the results you want without the risks? IMHO, I believe this can absolutely be accomplished by utilizing natural, non-toxic substances that have shown to be very effective at preventing the flu such as D3, Vitamin C, etc.

There are a lot of knowledgeable freepers who would help you in this arena. (Research wise). Perhaps you can find a DO in your area that will guide and help you with the appropriate natural vitamins for pregnant women in order to prevent the flu naturally.

All of the best to you and your baby!!

Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu

Are you over it yet?

[ncdrumr]

Thank you. If I do decide to get the vaccine, I would definitely go with a thimerosal-free option. That eases my mind, at least some. Many thanks.

I just got over the flu today. I started feeling the effect of lethargy, joint and muscle pain on Tuesday Sept 29. Then I felt like I had been rode up hill several miles and put away dripping wet. In other words like complete crap. I had a hard time eating, food had no taste and I had severe lower abdominal cramps, they came in waves. This lasted for a few days and the symptoms seemed to subside some. Then on Monday Oct 5 they started all over again, everything previously listed.

In March of 2008 I went to my doc's office and took the pneumonia vaccine shot. I am glad that I did because if I had to undergo another bout of pneumonia like I had February 2008, I doubt very much I would be typing right now. I don't think Heaven has an I.P. yet.

[Tax-chick]

No, neither one. I don’t think I’ve had a flu shot since I was in college, and haven’t had the flu, either. I had a stomach bug during one of my pregnancies (Pat?) and had to get anti-emetic suppositories because I was getting dehydrated.

My husband always gets a flu shot, since he has much more contact with the public than the rest of us put together. Kids usually don’t go to Sunday School or gymnastics if they’re sick, but adults go to work with the germs!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Was it confirmed as regular flu or the swine strain?
Did it feel like anything you had before?

[jetson]

I think I’ve had the swine flu for the past four days. Felt tired, feverish and bit of a stomach upset plus some congestion. I found out the swine flu is running through our high school and I really think I caught it. IF SO...WHAT IS THE HYPE ALL ABOUT!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Absolutely astounding.

We've seen photos of thousands of young children getting this vaccine. They can't ALL be high risks.

I'm surprised Gibbs admitted this. I bet the WH is furious he leaked the truth.
