The CDC is saying that numerous deaths related to the H1N1 Swine Flu are caused by pneumonia. “Schuchat also addressed a CDC study released Wednesday that found that 33 percent of 77 deaths caused by the H1N1 flu resulted from bacterial pneumonia. The strain of bacteria in many cases — streptococcus pneumonia — is one for which there is a vaccine, she said, so adults should get the pneumococcal vaccine to prevent this complication.” http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/10/01/28-pregnant-women-have-died-from-swine-flu-cdc.html
Schuchat ought to review her own CDC information. Laboratory-tested influenza hospitalizations between August 30 and October 3 totalled 3,874, with 240 deaths. Hospitalizations for the newly coined term, “Influenza and Pneumonia Syndrome” totalled 12,384, with 1,544 deaths. No idea how many were H1N1 specific. http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/updates/us/ This is updated every Friday if you want to follow along.
In the U.S. PNEUMOVAX ® 23 (PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINE POLYVALENT) is the approved prophylaxis against pneumococcal disease. http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/p/pneumovax_23/pneumovax_pi.pdf
From the package insert:
PNEUMOVAX 23 is manufactured according to methods developed by the Merck Research Laboratories. Each 0.5 mL dose of vaccine contains 2 5μg of each polysaccharide type in isotonic saline solution containing 0.25% phenol as a preservative. (emphasis mine)
PNEUMOVAX ® 23 (PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINE POLYVALENT)
“Pregnancy Category C: It is also not known whether PNEUMOVAX 23 can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. PNEUMOVAX 23 should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.”
Phenol- also known as carbolic acid, is a toxic mutagen.
What’s a mutagen? It is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material usually DNA and of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are typically also carcinogens. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called “spontaneous mutations” occur due to errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutagen
Injections of phenol have occasionally been used as a means of rapid execution. In particular, phenol was used as a means of extermination by the Nazis before and during the Second World War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol
In the interest of self preservation and avoiding a lawsuit, we are not saying that PNEUMOVAX ® 23 is in of itself, toxic. Like anything in life, read the warnings on the label for yourself.
Looking into whether or not PNEUMOVAX® contained Squalene (not sure if it does or does not) I found United States Patent Application 20090208523 Adjuvant for vaccines NOVARTIS VACCINES AND DIAGNOSTICS INC. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0208523.html describeing administration of MF59 for one of it’s own vaccines. At the very bottom of the patent application it says:
“The currently available pneumococcus vaccines consist mainly of purified capsule polysaccharides of the 23 most important serotypes of S. pneumoniae; e.g., the pneumococcus vaccines Pneumopur® and Pneumovax 23® available in Germany did not show any protective effectiveness against pneumococcal pneumonia in most randomized, controlled clinical trials. Nonetheless, the pneumococcus vaccine is recommended in industrialized countries by the respective national ministries, medical associations and advising committees for the elderly, immunosuppressed adults and also children with chronic illnesses, among others (STIKO vaccine recommendations). Attempts to optimize the currently available pneumococcus vaccines have for the most part failed.”
Additionally from 1990, “While the clinical effectiveness of the current vaccine is less than ideal, use of the vaccine is cost effective.” From Bureau of Communicable Disease Epidemiology, Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2407776 Did I read that 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine is not very effective, but cost efficient?
Far from being a scientist or a medical practitioner, we believe that this evidence shows saying that PNEUMOVAX ® does not protect against pneumonia and it’s toxic ingredient phenol could equally be hazardous to your health as contracting pneumonia.

Thanks for visiting.
Open wide, say ahhh and check out these posts on the A/H1N1 Swine Flu from Ahrcanum, where the conspiracy spreads as fast as the virus itself. Subscribe for free in the top right margin.
Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored to tears at work
so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break.
I really like the knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a
look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loladed on my cell phone ..
I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, awesome blog!
[…] There is evidence that like the H1n1 vaccine, the Pneumonia vaccine doesn’t work either. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/h1n1-swine-pneumonia-pneumococcal-vaccine-mf59/ […]
There is a significant amount of the current H1N1 vaccines left over and about to expire-Why? because people did not want it, now they can’t give it away. So why would the ICMR invest and produce an indigenous vaccine, is it any better or worse than those produced by international conglomerate pharma? Some top secret ingredient?
BTW, their website offers no insight and is offline at http://www.icmr.nic.in/
Though the pandemic flu vaccine producing capacity is improved globally, this would not be sufficient to meet out the emergency need of the globe if the present virus changes its form as pandemic. (In this context that it may remember that WHO already declared this spread as pandemic) Even if we produce at the current rate, this will take four years to meet out the global demand.
Indian council of medical research (ICMR) has initiated steps to produce an indigenous vaccine for the A (H1N1) and it expects the vaccine to be available in four to six months.
To prevent the spread of this virus, we have to follow the personal hygiene, should cover the nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing, should regularly wash the hands properly with soaps, should increase the resistance, should drink plenty of water and eat nutritious foods. All should avoid crowded places, unnecessary journeys and contact with sick people. The infected people should stay at home until they are free from all symptoms.
The home treatment remedies have number of ways to ease the symptom includes taking adequate liquid and rest. Oral aspirin or paracetamol to relieve pain and fever but with medical advise to children is recommended. Generally, most cases need no medical attention but severe cases with existing underlying conditions should seek a physician.
