In a recent interview with the London Telegraph, Bill Gates has
now claimed that his Foundation’s massive push for vaccination is not
just an exercise in philanthropy but that it is, in fact, “God’s work.”

Gates, who, according to the Telegraph, is worth an estimated $65
billion, is now dedicating his life to the “eradication of
poliomyelitis,” or, at least he is dedicating himself to the vaccination
program allegedly aimed at achieving these ends.

As reported by the Telegraph,
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“My wife and I had a long dialogue about how we were going to take the
wealth that we’re lucky enough to have and give it back in a way that’s
most impactful to the world,” he says. “Both of us worked at Microsoft
and saw that if you take innovation and smart people, the ability to
measure what’s working, that you can pull together some pretty dramatic
things. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“We’re focused on the help of the poorest in the world, which really
drives you into vaccination. You can actually take a disease and get rid
of it altogether, like we are doing with polio.”</blockquote>
Yet, eradicating polio through a massive vaccination
program may be easier said than done writes Neil Tweedie of the
Telegraph. “There is another, sinister obstacle: the propagation by
Islamist groups of the belief that polio vaccination is a front for
covert sterilisation and other western evils. Health workers in Pakistan
have paid with their lives for involvement in the programme.”





To this question, Gates responded with seemingly atypical religious
zeal, noted by Tweedie in the published article. “It’s not going to stop
us succeeding,” says Gates. “It does force us to sit down with the
Pakistan government to renew their commitments, see what they’re going
to do in security and make changes to protect the women who are doing
God’s work and getting out to these children and delivering the
vaccine.”

Indeed,
the religious tone of Gates during the course of the interview may seem
confusing to Tweedie, but the nature of Gates’ work could very well be
described as a religion. Thus, the fact that it finds itself in direct
confrontation with another religion – the Islamist groups that Tweedie
speaks of – is of no real consequence to Gates as his solution is to
dutifully press forward.

Yet, before readers write off the vaccine resisters solely as Muslim
fundamentalists, many of the individuals opposing vaccination have a
very good reason to be skeptical. Especially those that believe Gates’
vaccine push is geared more toward sterilization and population
reduction than about life extension and better health conditions.

After all, it was Bill Gates himself who stated as much publicly when he said,
“The world today has 6.8 billion people... that's headed up to about 9
billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care,
reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15
percent.”




Add this to Gates’ statement is the fact that, time and again,
international vaccination programs have ended disastrously for third
world nations. Case in point: the recent Meningitis vaccine program that
resulted in the paralysis of at least 50 African children
and a subsequent cover-up operation by the government of Chad. This
large number of adverse events occurred in one small village alone,
leaving many to wonder what the rates of side effects might be on an
international scale.

Even more concerning is the fact that paralysis rates have flourished in
countries where Gates’ polio vaccine, the one he is dedicating his life
to, have been administered the most. Indeed, nowhere is this any more
apparent than in India. As Aaron Dykes writes,
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
But the real story is that while polio has statistically disappeared
from India, there has been a huge spike in cases of non-polio acute
flaccid paralysis (NPAFP)– the very types of crippling problems it was
hoped would disappear with polio but which have instead flourished from a
new cause. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There were 47,500 cases of non-polio paralysis reported in 2011,
the same year India was declared “polio-free,” according to Dr. Vashisht
and Dr. Puliyel. Further, the available data shows that the incidents
tracked back to areas were doses of the polio vaccine were frequently
administered. The national rate of NPAFP in India is 25-35 times the
international average. </blockquote>

In addition to this data, it appears that the polio vaccines are themselves the leading cause of polio paralysis in India.
In relation to the flawed data reported by the Polio Global Eradication
Initiative which attempts to minimize the numbers of both
vaccine-induced cases of polio paralysis and polio in general, Sayer Ji remarks,
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
According to the Polio Global Eradication Initiative’s own statistics
there were 42 cases of wild-type polio (WPV) reported in India in 2010,
indicating that vaccine-induced cases of polio paralysis (100-180
annually) outnumber wild-type cases by a factor of 3-4. Even if we put
aside the important question of whether or not the PGEI is accurately
differentiating between wild and vaccine-associated polio cases in their
statistics, we still must ask ourselves: should not the real-world
effects of immunization, both good and bad, be included in PGEI’s
measurement of success? For the dozens of Indian children who develop
vaccine-induced paralysis every year, the PGEI’s recent declaration of
India as nearing “polio free” status, is not only disingenuous, but
could be considered an attempt to minimize their obvious liability in
having transformed polio from a natural disease vector into a man-made
(iatrogenic) one. </blockquote>
Gates’ polio vaccines have likewise been blamed for deaths and disabilities in neighboring Pakistan, with offices of the government in that country even recommending that the vaccines be suspended.

In India, doctors heavily criticized the program not only for the heavy
cost to human health and quality of life but also the massive financial
burden hoisted upon the state. This is because the program was only
partially funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations,
which is itself partnered with the World Health Organization, Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, World Bank, and
United Nations.

The doctors criticized the GAVI-alliance by stating,
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Indian government finally had to fund this hugely expensive
programme, which cost the country 100 times more than the value of the
initial grant,” their report stated.
From India’s perspective the exercise has been an extremely costly both
in terms of human suffering and in monetary terms. It is tempting to
speculate what could have been achieved if the $2.5 billion spent on
attempting to eradicate polio, were spent on water and sanitation and
routine immunization. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
. . . . . the polio eradication programme epitomizes nearly everything
that is wrong with donor funded ‘disease specific’ vertical projects at
the cost of investments in community-oriented primary health care
(horizontal programmes) . . . . . </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
. . . . .This is a startling reminder of how initial funding and grants from abroad distort local priorities. </blockquote>
Indeed, as the doctors assert, one cannot vaccinate away disease like
polio. Apart from the fact that there has never been a study conducted
which proves a vaccine either safe or effective that was not connected
to a drug company or a vaccine maker,[1] the so-called cure, if it comes under the guise of a vaccine, may well be as bad if not worse than the disease itself.

Again, Sayer Ji writes,

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Polio underscores the need for a change in the way we look at so-called
"vaccine preventable" diseases as a whole. In most people with a healthy immune system,
a poliovirus infection does not even generate symptoms. Only rarely
does the infection produce minor symptoms, e.g. sore throat, fever,
gastrointestinal disturbances, and influenza-like illness. In only 3% of
infections does virus gain entry to the central nervous system, and
then, in only 1-5 in 1000 cases does the infection progress to paralytic
disease. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Due to the fact that polio spreads through the fecal-oral route (i.e.
the virus is transmitted from the stool of an infected person to the
mouth of another person through a contaminated object, e.g. utensil)
focusing on hygiene, sanitation and proper nutrition (to support innate
immunity) is a logical way to prevent transmission in the first place,
as well as reducing morbidity associated with an infection when it does
occur. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Instead, a large portion of the world's vaccines are given to the Third
World as "charity," when the underlying conditions of economic
impoverishment, poor nutrition, chemical exposures, and socio-political
unrest are never addressed. </blockquote>
The fact is that the root cause of diseases like polio are not a lack of
vaccination but poor sanitation standards, poverty, lower living
standards, chemical pollution, and lack of proper nutrition. If money
were spent correcting these ills, as opposed to providing ineffective
(in their stated purposes) and dangerous vaccinations, then polio and
many other such diseases could indeed be eradicated.

In the end, the answer is about raising living standards, reducing
pollution, increasing knowledge and access to proper nutrition and clean
drinking water – not chemical and virus-laden needles. Perhaps this
method could be more accurately described as "God's work."
