Chicken pox is an annoying infection with a great urge to itch away those bumps. Most people in former generation have gotten it when they were children. And then it was over. It's a one time minor inconvenience.
These days though, most children have skipped that misery all together, as the chicken pox vaccine or varicella vaccine was introduced into the childhood vaccination schedules in 1995. But instead of getting chickenpox, another price is being paid from those vaccines, and that's in the form of getting shingles. Not the kind you put on roofs.
Shingles are another skin irritation. Instead of small bumps all over the body that last a week or so and then your immune system fights it off to develop an immunity, shingles is a rash and is caused by the varicella virus which also causes chicken pox. That virus is what's injected into people as part of the chicken pox vaccine.
The vaccine effectiveness has been wearing off, and many children get booster shots between 4-6 years old. This might help to reduce the amount of chicken pox, and that is the development of lingering varicella-zoster virus in the nerve tissue.
Shingles is also called herpes zoster. Yes, that's right, herpes. Standard herpes is a virus that lingers in the nervous system as well, and can come and go from time to time, flaring up. Chicken pox is a one time thing when caught and fought off, but shingles can keep coming back. Shingles can also come about from people who once had chicken pox, but it's rare.
But research is showing that people who get the vaccine have a greater chance of developing shingles. Those who get chicken pox "naturally" developed a boosted immunity to the virus, helping to protect them from ever getting shingles. There have been warnings from earlier studies that the chickenpox vaccination being deployed throughout the population would spur a shingles epidemic.
The Annals of Clinical Pathology has recently published new research that accuses the CDC and the Los Angeles Department of Health Services of collusion to bury research that shows a link between the Universal Varicella Vaccination Program and the rise of shingles.
The lead author of this new study, Gary S Goldman, is also a former research analyst for the Los Angeles Department of Health. He monitored the introduction of the chickenpox vaccine, and said that by the year 2000 he was already hearing about many accounts of inexplicable rises in cases of shingles among students. The chickenpox vaccine was also boosting the chances of adults getting shingles, since shingles is also contagious.
Goldman was part of the Varicella Active Surveillance Project (VASP), one of three CDC funded projects that would monitor the effects of introducing the varicella vaccine. The isolated region of the Antelope Valley, California, with a population of 300,000 had baseline epidemiological data collected prior to the 1995 introduction of the chickenpox vaccine.
The research paper goes on to say that despite CDC researchers opposing the original methodologies and calculations of childhood herpes zoster incidence rates, they eventually used the same methods and found similar results. But the CDC only represented half of the rates in the population in order to present the data they wanted presented and to paint a favorable picture of their vaccine program.
In the end, the CDC selectively published studies and manipulated findings that would further support their Universal Varicella Vaccination Program. The CDC also blocked the research analysts attempts to publish data that contradicted the CDC and would show the negative trends or outcomes from the vaccine program. This included declining vaccine efficacy and increasing the incidence rates of herpes zoster (shingles).
Goldman was the research analyst who was being ignored, and in his resignation said:
"When research data concerning a vaccine used in human populations is being suppressed and/or misrepresented, this is very disturbing and goes against all scientific norms and compromises professional ethics."
The CDC stopped Goldman from making his data public. He has catalogued 23 actions that they took to downplay and discredit his findings, which included:
- Attributing his findings to incorrect subgroups
- Statistically disguising his findings
- Manipulating the CDC data to invalidate his conclusions
- Printing selective studies to not give all the data to the public
- Pressure editors of journals to delay publishing his findings
- Directing him "not to pursue further analysis of trends in HZ cases"
- Denying him permission to contact individuals who had reported a second recurrence of shingles within a year of their first reported case
- Attempting to discredit him through ad hominem attacks
- After his resignation, serving notice "to 'cease and desist' publication in a medical journal when he sought to objectively publish all of the data and results" and pressuring journal editors to postpone publication.
After all of this exposure and evidence of collusion, the CDC's answer is to recommend a shingles vaccine instead of doing something about the chickenpox vaccine. Instead of getting free protection that naturally develops as a child getting chickenpox, they want you to spend money on a vaccine in order to protect yourself from another vaccine. It's highly ineffective, as a study on adults over 50 only shows a 50% effectiveness during the first year alone, with no effect after five years.
Between getting vaccinated, and vaccinated some more, people could endure the uncomfortable chickenpox that is not likely to repeat or develop into shingles. The alternative is to risk getting the herpes zoster virus and shingles that cause painful rashes that ooze fluid and last up to four weeks.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
