Flu virus behind infant pneumonia in poor countries

Viral infection precedes an unexpectedly large proportion of childhood pneumonia cases.

Influenza may be a surprisingly important player in childhood pneumonia deaths in developing countries, a study has found1. Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in under-fives worldwide — in poor countries more than one-fifth of childhood mortality is attributed to the disease.

  • Remember the Thalidomide babies. So be cautious if all vaccinations are good for the youth today.

    Mothers were given this drug for a possible hormone upset to their system, assured it would cause them or their babies no harm. It was an experiment, not justified. The drug companies did not voluntarily look after these victimized children. Private civil suits had to be taken that ought to have then gone criminal, for human experiments, the drug not thoroughly tested for its safety to the developing child.

    When you have an increase of mental, physical and learning and behavior problems, while the children look normal on the outside, consider that live injections into the children's blood stream are intended not to be part of their questionnaires. In the USA and in Canada, with mercury additives to our vaccinations, and the live viruses injected into the babies, from a few hours after their birth, to every month or second month, injections and some of multiple live diseases given them, the autism rates have increased. Prior to the 1970's, the true autism was 1 in 30,000.00 children. Today, the increase is anywhere from 1 in 150 children to various 170 children. In Canada, we have 1 in every 10 teenagers with mental and social problems. The average child under five years of age has health problems increasing the property tax burdens on health costs to be second to the senior citizens.

    Too Many Vaccinations given to the youth today:
    The trouble with vaccinations, there are just too many given the infants. On top of these vaccinations, the children, at birth are being exploited by false policies set by medical professional groups, private groups. They were directed immediate and early umbilical cord clamping. The motive is to trap the baby's placenta blood into their placenta, then drain or syringe that blood off for use as a waste product for science transplantation, and research. The suspensions of the whole blood are extracted out, and sold for high profits to the new owners of the extractions, like stem cells, white cells, red cells, platelets, and plasma. They seek speciality enzymes, as well, to be all sold. Stem cells, just a small part of the whole blood may sell for over and above $30,000.00 The weaker and testable anemic babies can be known by a simple blood test. The exploitation of the newborn citizen for their placenta blood is world wide. To inject these testable anemic babies with live viruses of any disease must be questioned.
    We often think to question our medical lab workers, or researchers is abnormal. But those that are of the cultural of the Dobu Islands in Melanesia, question everything, as a duty.

    Most of us are not Questioning the expert or science groups, of private organizations:
    WE have too much blind trust and no good testing of harm of what is injected in to the children today. The cover up even of the autism groups will not investigate if the children were anemic by early umbilical cord clamping.

    The facts known of how much blood is deprived and sought the infant is stated in the 7th edition, year 2001, of the Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice. It states that up to 60 percent more placenta blood will go into the infant if the umbilical cord is not clamped while yet pulsating. The average pulsation may take from five-minutes to 20 minutes, and the drugged babies need the most time.
    Ideally, the World Health Organization, would set the standard of care to be, no cord tying, or hand squeezing (finger-thumb), or clamping off the cord will be done until after the placenta is birthed, the child is wrapped head to toe, and all pulsation has ceased. This is before the consent for cosmetic removal is given as to the risk of a tied and cut cord kills 500,000 babies a year, world wide, because of infections in the blood stream through the unnecessary cord cutting. The only true reasons to ever clamp the cord is if they dropped the baby and the cord tore, or for mistaken care in putting a knife into the cord or the placenta. The fear factors are not present for all mythical reasons of having to tie off or cut the umbilical cord.

    Who has the Stronger Infant of Infants, those not clamped, at all, or those early cord clamped?:
    Those babies receiving all their natural immunities will be stronger babies, but they should not be compromised or impaired by questionable untested lots of vaccinations of mercury additives, MSG additives, or so forth. The poorer countries are the most vulnerable to be used of poor lots yet available by questionable private drug labs, around the world, those vaccination lots may yet contain questionable viruses, live, and heavy poisons of mercury.
    Question do not trust blindly. Those teaching a false policy, or publishing a questionable bulleting must be held accountable in Public Inquiries, that may then lend to criminal charges wherever a private medical group covered or concealed up more then a casual connection to internal diseases. This is while on the outside the human being looked normal. But on the inside, latent disorders were taking place. But the questionnaires of a common link, as stated, there are two of them, were not ever to be considered. That is then, perhaps, organized, suppression of truth. Some may well call it a conspiracy of silence. What would you call it, if there is a chance injections is not the way to go. Where are these children getting antibiotics, like penicillin to clear up their lung infections.

    Risk Factors taken that are avoidable:
    Why risk adding to the poor nations health problems on internal compromised children that the corporations that sell the vaccinations may not put up liability insurance of side effects risks as were known in the past, and are yet to be connected, to all victims of autism, and leaning and behavior disorders, as is suggested and a likely common link. Look up the risks of umbilical cord clamping. Www.medicalveritas.com Www.lotusbirth.com or www.cordclamp.com Past peer reviewed studies on the harm of early cord clamping range from 1801, 1940's, 1957, to the present time. All facts are visual, testable, measurable and a reportable offense to the early clamped babies. All past best practice possible were based in corrupted medical research that had, deliberately, no control group of babies not having drugs or early clamping. All past studies were testing drugs and various early cord clamping, from instant clamping to 10-second, 20, 30, and under two minute to under five-minuted cord clamping. Never, ever were babies not drugged or not cord clamped ever, as to show they are stronger babies, ever allowed in the questionable human experiments.

    No informed Choice:
    The mothers had no choice of primal natural births where the studies took place in American and European hospitals. Some government public health boards back the experiments on babies, knowing that the placenta blood was not wasted, poured down the drain, but was taken for research or transplantation cells. Blood is a tissue, all suspensions can be extracted and sold. That means a woman’s body is being exploited to nurture the placenta and its contents, and her baby deprived of its private property, the placenta blood and the placenta and the cord, the private property of the infant, or infants. There has been collusion of silence on what I have shared, in my research on birth since 1998. Internet is the only way, today, to share. As the groups making the policies, for means of gaining the baby’s trapped blood in their placenta, are unapproachable, today, and even to their own members, who scolded them for questionable policies. Such are the Bulletin #216, November 1995, of ACOG, directing all babies be instantly cord clamped for a false reasons to get a blood sample fo the cord blood. They did not get a sample from the blood inside the baby, hours later. Why not? The baby would be found anemic. The blood from the cord would be found normal.

    Concealing the tests results and from the cord:
    ACOG directives, if followed, would have had the medical team use that normal sample to shy away of weaker infants, testable of early cord clamping, found anemic. Many of these babies would increase the costs to the property owners, and increase the special education costs, as the medically caused weaker babies would be taken to the intensive care ward getting back oxygen and blood, deprived it quickly after the child’s birth.

    Facts of the alleged corrupted Polices:

    Policies set by the experts that are corrupted in Canada, had copied ACOG’s bulletins. They are Policy #89 May 2000, and Policy #71, December 1998. The latter knew of testable anemic babies even months after their births, the babies victims of early cord clamping, under 5-minutes.

    These were put out as to influence all of Canada childbirth standards of care by SOGC. That includes the First Responders, the police, the firemen, and the ambulance medics. All are, today, falsely trained to clamp off the yet pulsating umbilical cord, and before they have even wrapped the baby head to toe, to prevent hypothermia and slower infusion of the placenta blood into the baby’s expanding lungs. When such groups are contacted, they desire to keep their training manuals, of videos, or verbal instructions secret.

    The Obstetrician group could stand a public inquiry on this issue for misdirection and for the injections on anemic babies, world wide, imposed some at birth, or within a month or two, and while yet the child is testable weaker, that is anemic.

    We have not standards of testing all lots of vaccinations in all poor countries. They may be exploited as to the yet additives in them, live viruses, and heavy metals.

    It is alleged Canada tests all lots of vaccinations, but I doubt that as to the costs to do so. In any case, the injections are first done, and the parents have not received the information of the drug manufacturer or the contents or ingredients what they blindly put into their baby’s blood stream. That is ignorance of which they expect the baby, if they live from the risk factors, to love the parents, unconditionally. Many parents cannot love their destroyed child, unconditionally. The expense of their care is too much. They are given up for adoption. Society takes on the burden, not the medical societies or the drug manufacturers in most incidents of damaged victimized children.
