Many
of us just pay our taxes on a yearly basis and have absolutely no idea
where they’re going. Are they funding new medical research? War? The
elite’s agenda? The reality is that your taxpayers’ dollars support all
of these things and more, despite the fact that you may not
knowingly support them yourself.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society
titled “Development of a Clinically Viable Heroin Vaccine” has been
making recent headlines, hinting at fewer heroin users in the United
States. The irony here is that taxpayer dollars
are being spent to develop a vaccine against drug users supporting the
very drug trade the U.S. government and the medical industry have so
heavily invested in maintaining.
The U.S. government’s role in the heroin
(or opium) industry began during the Vietnam War and has continued ever
since, moving from South East Asia to Afghanistan to the United States.
The opium epidemic was fuelled by the government, and continues to
worsen thanks to Big Pharma and the medical industry.
Even if this vaccine were successfully
developed and distributed, would it really make a difference? Would
it combat our addictive tendencies and would the U.S. government and Big
Pharma then stop pushing drugs on us?
How Successful Is This Heroin Vaccine?
Researchers from the Scripps Research
Institute (TSRI) are saying that this vaccine could be used to
successfully treat heroin addicts, as the vaccine apparently dulls the
“high” felt from heroin. Findings thus far have proven to be effective
for up to eight months after being injected.
Essentially, the vaccine tells the
immune system to create antibodies against heroin and the psychoactive
products within it that produce the user’s “high.” Like many other
vaccines, the vaccine does so by exposing the immune system to part of
the heroin molecule’s structure, and so when users try to get high
again, the antibodies neutralize the heroin molecules before they can
reach their state of “euphoria.”
“This validates our previous rodent data
and positions our vaccine in a favorable light for anticipated clinical
evaluation,” study leader Kim Janda said in a statement. “We believe this vaccine candidate will prove safe for human trials.”
The researchers hope that by taking away
the pleasurable aspect of the drug, users will no longer see a reason
to keep taking it.
The researchers tested the vaccine on
monkeys and found that it was successful in many cases, proving
particularly effective within the first month after administering it,
although in some cases the vaccine’s effects lasted for up to eight
months.
In addition, two of the monkeys
tested in the study had been vaccinated in a prior study conducted seven
months beforehand. These monkeys showed a higher response to the
vaccine, which the researchers suggested could mean that long-term
immunity to heroin could be achievable in the future (source).
Concerns Regarding Vaccines
Many vaccines contain harmful chemicals,
including mercury and aluminum. This begs the question: Is it really
worth it to inject heroin addicts with these chemicals if it could
potentially harm their bodies? I personally believe that we should be
spending this money on more natural therapies that deal with the root
cause of the issue: our addictive tendencies.
It’s also important to note that mercury can be passed down generation after generation, so this isn’t just affecting you, it’s also going to affect your current or potential future children and grandchildren.
Perhaps the most controversial element
of vaccines is the link that some of them have to autism. The
vaccine-autism link gained a lot of traction after CDC scientist Dr.
William Thompson publicly apologized for falsifying research, much of
which was considered “pro-vaccine.”
The correlation between vaccines and
autism is very real, and has been proven time and time again in relation
to many vaccines, including the MMR vaccine. A study published by Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD and previous CDC scientist, in the peer-reviewed journal Translational Neurodegeneration, found
up to a 340% increased risk of autism in African American boys
receiving the Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. You can read more
about this specific study in our CE article here.
The vaccine-autism link has even held up
in courts, giving parents peace of mind and punishing Big Pharma
companies. In one case, the Italian Health Ministry admitted that the
MMR vaccine specifically caused autism in a 9-year-old boy. You can read
more about that case in our CE article here.
A paper published in
2012 by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior Research Scientist at the MIT
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, argues that
severe adverse reactions to the chemicals (like aluminum) within
vaccines are linked to life-threatening conditions associated with the
heart and brain. The paper goes on to argue that there is a relationship
between autism and acute adverse reactions to vaccinations.
Mentions of autism in VAERS increased steadily at the end of the last century, during a period when mercury was being phased out, while aluminum adjuvant burden was being increased. Using standard log-likelihood ratio techniques, we identify several signs and symptoms that are significantly more prevalent in vaccine reports after 2000, including cellulitis, seizure, depression, fatigue, pain and death, which are also significantly associated with aluminum-containing vaccines. We propose that children with the autism diagnosis are especially vulnerable to toxic metals such as aluminum and mercury due to insufficient serum sulfate and glutathione. A strong correlation between autism and the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is also observed, which may be partially explained via an increased sensitivity to acetaminophen administered to control fever.
Another paper published
by Professor Christopher Shaw and Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic of the
University of British Columbia showed that vaccines with aluminum
adjuvants increase the risk of developing autism, autoimmune diseases,
and neurological problems later in life. A demonstrated neurotoxin,
aluminum is the only approved adjuvant in the U.S. Its use presents the
risk of brain inflammation, autoimmunity, and other adverse health
consequences. (source)
If the heroin vaccine contains any of
these chemicals, or any other potentially harmful chemicals, do we
really think that we should be injecting it into heroin users? Drug
users often put their bodies under added stress to begin with, meaning
their bodies are likely very unhealthy already. If your body is already
under stress, do you really want to add more stress and toxicity to it?
The U.S. Government and Big Pharma’s Involvement in Heroin/Opium
To clarify, heroin is made from opium.
Opium is removed from the poppy plant, which is then refined into
morphine, and can then be refined into heroin. So, if you’re an opium
supplier, you could also be considered a heroin supplier. Now, how does
all of this relate to the U.S. government and Big Pharma?
In Southeast Asia (SEA) during the
Vietnam War, the CIA worked alongside Laotian general Vang Pao in an
effort to help make Laos the world’s largest exporter of heroin. The CIA
actually owned and operated a covert drug smuggling airline, referred
to as Air America, which
was used to transport numerous goods, including heroin. The CIA then
flew drugs all over SEA, allowing the Golden Triangle (parts of Burma,
Thailand, and Laos) to become the world hub for heroin. You can read
more about Air America in our CE article here.
Mainstream media has even addressed this issue, as the History Channel just came out with a new series titled America’s War on Drugs which
discusses the CIA’s role in the heroin drug trade, as well as many
other drugs, which you can read more about in our CE article here.
According to a New York Times article
written in 1993, the CIA’s involvement with the heroin industry
actually began slightly before the Vietnam War. During the Korean War,
in 1950, the CIA allegedly traded weapons and heroin in exchange for
intelligence.
Well, it seems the CIA’s “heroin problem” didn’t start nor end in SEA.
Afghanistan is another country with a
complicated history of involvement in the opium and heroin industries,
much of which implicates the CIA. In the 1980s,
CIA-supported Moujahedeen rebels were heavily involved in drug
trafficking heroin. The CIA supplied trucks and mules, which were used
to transport opium.
Despite the fact that Afghanistan supplied approximately 50% of the heroin used
by Americans, the U.S. failed to intervene or investigate the Afghan
drug industry for years. Instead, many of the individuals trafficking
the drugs in Afghanistan were actually trained, armed, and funded by the CIA at the time.
Opium production came to a gradual halt
thanks to Taliban rule. By 2000, the Taliban had completely banned opium
production, practically eradicating 90% of the world’s heroin. The
following UN diagram outlines the history of opium production in
Afghanistan:
As you can see, after 9/11 occurred and
the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, opium production suddenly skyrocketed.
There have been tons of photos of U.S. soldiers guarding the opium
fields, yet today, more than a decade later, they still have not
destroyed them and the business is booming (view some of the photos here).
It’s no secret that 9/11 was an inside
job, otherwise referred to as a false-flag terrorist attack. If you
didn’t know that, please read this CE article.
Many have speculated that one of the main reasons the U.S. government
orchestrated the 9/11 attack is so that they could gain full control
over the opium trade in Afghanistan. You can read more about that in our
CE article here.
There’s no question that the U.S.
government is knee deep in the opium/heroin drug trade. So, how does Big
Pharma relate to all of this?
Big Pharma is largely responsible for
the opioid epidemic in North America. We see more and more overdoses and
addictions related to these drugs, each year and it all stems from Big
Pharma and doctors overprescribing medication and understating the side
effects and addictive tendencies. This issue isn’t new, however; it
actually started decades ago.
“[The marketing effort for opioid sales] was a promotional campaign unlike we have ever really seen,” explains Dr. Andrew Kolodny, the Chief Medical Officer for the Phoenix House treatment
centers and co-founder of Physicians for Responsible Opioid
Prescribing. “Drug reps were going to family care doctors, and insisting
that OxyContin had no real risks—only benefits. What they were selling
was the idea that pain was a disease, and not a symptom.”
This problem can be seen all over North America. In the U.S. and Canada, pharmaceutical giant Purdue has made over $30 billion USD from OxyContin alone since the mid-1990s. Purdue was actually largely responsible for the marketing campaign in support of these drugs, and in 2001, spent $4.6 million on OxyContin advertisements in medical journals.
It’s clear that the U.S. government and
Big Pharma are heavily responsible for creating the opium/heroin
epidemic in North America. So, instead of producing a vaccine that aims
to help heroin addicts, why not just stop fuelling the problem in the
first place?
Final Thoughts
To me, this is another example of how
Big Pharma and the U.S. government often choose to ignore the root cause
of a problem and instead administer a “bandaid” to it. Rather than
actually stepping away from producing and spreading these drugs, or
investing in mental health and drug addiction care, they instead are
simply developing a product that will mask the problem. This is further
proof that these organizations are more concerned with profit
over anything else, including people.
If they were intent on actually helping
people, then they wouldn’t be ignoring the root cause of the issue here
and they’d take responsibility for their actions. Instead, they’re
creating a vaccine that will only increase their profits and further
poison the North American population, representing a greater market for
them to treat in the future.
