Missing from the vaccine debate - What the CDC is not telling us - NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) The CDC Morbidity and Weekly Report dated October 24,
2014, released information about a flu outbreak that occurred 8 months
prior to publication. The article titled, Influenza Outbreak in a Vaccinated Population - USS Ardent, February 2014, details the outbreak and the means used to stop the spread of infection.
While
moored in San Diego, California, 25 of the 102 crew members of the
ship, USS Ardent came down with flu-like symptoms. Of these 25 crew
members, 24 had received their annual flu vaccination 3 months or more
before the outbreak. One had not been vaccinated.
Rapid influenza
A and B tests were performed and 20 of the 25 tested positive for
influenza A. Of those twenty, 18 tested positive for an A (H3) virus and
2 tested positive for an A (untyped) virus. (The CDC states that false
negative testing for influenza is common).
Seven swabs from the A
(H3) positive sailors were cultured to find the H3N2 virus was 99%
identical to the H3N2 strain contained in the annual vaccine. The 1%
difference was 5 amino acid substitutions that were found, a slight
mutation that rendered the vaccine useless against the H3N2 strain
caught by the sailors.
The spread of disease was stopped through
isolation and disinfection. Sick sailors were sent home, off the ship,
and all commonly touched surfaces were regularly disinfected and decks
were mopped with an iodine solution. No further cases were reported.
