Could H1N1 be a self fullfilling prophecy

Clearly there is a lot of fear based information being circulated about H1N1 and the vaccine to be used against it. We hear about the potential for contamination of the vaccine with other viruses. We hear about the potential harm that could happen to a person's immune system due to the use of adjuvants in some versions of the vaccine. You hear about the potential for people developing Guillain Barre syndrome. But not too many people mention the fact that the vaccine just might be the mechanism for turning H1N1 into the massive pandemic people are afraid of.

There is something known as virus vaccine shedding, and it is proven fact with certain live virus vaccines and the H1N1 vaccine is a live virus vaccine. In fact, virus vaccine shedding is the reason the Sabin polio vaccine (remember the sugar cube doses), were pulled from the market in the United States.

Polio was virtually eradicated through the use of the Salk vaccine which was based upon injecting a dead virus into people. The people developed a resistance but there was absolutely no danger of getting the disease itself because the virus was actually dead. Then came the Sabin vaccine which used a weakened live virus. But something went wrong.

Polio cases began reappearing. Worse yet the people getting the disease were family members or others associated with someone who had received the new Sabin vaccine. As t turned out every new case of polio could be connected to someone who had been vaccinated, but why?

Well, a weakened virus which enters the human body can indeed confer a level of protection for the person who has been vaccinated. However the virus does exit the body through feces, sweat, coughing, and just from the breath. Essentially the vaccinated person temporarily becomes a carrier of a no-longer-weakened strain of virus. The virus that is expelled is once again at full strength and capable of infecting anyone who comes in contact with it.

Will this happen with the H1N1 live virus vaccine? Who can say since the vaccines will start distribution and use before clinical trials are complete. After all it wasn't a detected problem with the Sabin vaccine either, because, guess what? No one was looking for bad effects to people who were not the ones receiving the vaccine.

So, think about it, if H1N1 is shed from vaccinated people, a pandemic of catastrophic proportions will have been CAUSED by massive vaccinations.
