The Silent Killers

Chapter 5: The Immunization Fraud – Do Vaccines Work? – Hib (Haemophilus Influenza B)

When I wrote the book in 1984, Hib was not included. In fact, the first Hib shot was not approved for use in the United States until 1985. Back then, there were far less shots on the childhood schedule. Hib is now on the schedule and multiple shots are recommended for children less than 5 years old, to be given at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 15 months of age. And this shot is a good opportunity to refresh your memory on how the innate immune system protects you from infection from all bacteria and viruses without involving antibodies.

Haemophilus Influenza B is a living bacterium, not a nonliving virus particle. Hib resides naturally in the nasal mucosa of many people, reminding us again that the organism is not the cause of the disease. It can be associated with the development of symptoms in people with suppressed or weakened immunity. The word influenza was included in the name of the organism but should not have been. The symptoms of influenza are associated with viruses, not these bacteria.

Here's how these bacteria can result in symptoms in the immunosuppressed. First, the bacteria must get into the bloodstream. The bacteria are not a problem when they are just hanging out in your snot. The bacteria can get into your bloodstream if you elect to inject it in the form of a shot called a vaccine. Thankfully, injecting the entire weakened Haemophilus Influenza B bacteria is not done anymore. It can also get into your blood if you use a test swab too vigorously and push it (and other bacteria and viruses) directly through the mucosal barrier and into the bloodstream. So, those are two ways the bacteria can get in by manmade interventions. What about natural ways?

If the bacteria reach the bottom of the mucosal layer naturally, they will come in contact with epithelial cells. These cells make up the barrier that separate the inside of you from the outside. The epithelial cell can engulf the bacterium and take it inside of itself. When this happens, the bacterium releases enzymes that will destroy the cell, exposing the bacterium to the inside of you, the bloodstream. But wait, in a healthy person there are sentinel cells that guard that epithelial layer! These cells will engulf the bacterium and destroy it before it can start circulating in the bloodstream. That is protection of infection. People who are immunosuppressed do not have the same healthy level of response, and some bacteria will start circulating in the blood. The bacteria have substances on them which are irritating to other tissues they come in contact with. If it irritates the lining of the brain and spinal cord, that’s called meningitis. Meningitis is what most people are afraid of, but other tissues can be affected as well, including the skin, joints, the epiglottis, the middle ear, and lung tissue. There are other bacteria associated with meningitis, not just this one. It’s important to know that if a severe infection occurs, it can be treated with the introduction of certain antibiotics. In chapter 3, I acknowledged that antibiotics can be lifesaving. It’s the indiscriminate use of them we need to be careful about as bacteria will become resistant to them. Hib has become resistant to penicillin and ampicillin.

The idea of the Hib shot is to inject part of the bacteria to stimulate production of serum antibodies. These antibodies hope to react to proteins on the surface of the bacteria the next time the bacteria get into the blood. The antibodies cannot stop the bacteria from getting in, only react to them when and if they do get in and you are already infected.

This is where it gets interesting. Remember, there are sentinel cells that guard that epithelial layer and destroy bacteria without involving antibodies. Some of the cells involved in this process are T-cells that recognize proteins on the surface of the bacteria and signal other white blood cells to destroy the bacteria. The main protein on the surface of the bacteria the T-cells recognize is PRP, the letters of which stand for a long fancy name that is not important. So, they took purified PRP and used that as the main ingredient of the shot.

Here's the problem with injecting PRP directly. When you inject the antigen (PRP in this case) directly into the body, you have bypassed the ability of the T-cells to be naturally exposed, properly trained and remember it. The B-cells are the cells that make antibodies. These B-cells are not sentinel cells, they reside deeper inside of you and end up reacting to the injected antigen directly. This results in a suboptimal antibody being produced without T-cell recognition. So, the next time the body encounters the Hib bacteria, the T-cells will not recognize it and infection occurs. If you doubt that, read the in-depth science here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4745871/

In fact, in Table 1 of the article you will see that the first shot approved in 1985 was withdrawn from the market in 1988, because it didn’t provide the protection they were looking for.

So, how did our genius vaccine developers react to this problem? They thought: “Well, we better add something else that might stimulate those T-cells.” They threw in another protein from the shell of the bacterium that was able to do that, plus toxic adjuvants. Now we have an even worse problem. By injecting tons of it multiple times, the T-cells get trained to look for that protein and ignore others, allowing other infections to occur that normally wouldn't. Remember, your body is dealing with many different bacteria and viruses every day, so you do not want your T-cells to be too specific.

Really, the only way to allow T-cells to be properly trained is to allow the pathogen to come through the epithelial barrier. In the near future, you will see attempts to accomplish this by using nasal spray “vaccines”. The problem is, they will have to attenuate them and add toxic adjuvants. This will not produce the training of the innate immune system they are looking for, so it will end up being a complete waste of time and billions of dollars. The best way to prevent all communicable diseases and protect vulnerable people is to strengthen the innate immune system, where the protection of infection resides.

Does injecting the ingredients of the Hib shot always prevent symptoms in the recipient? Absolutely not. The article referenced states, “Several populations remain vulnerable to Hib disease even with vaccination.”
