FluMist vaccine


Thanks Char, for this excellent post. First it was the direct assault on the blood  (see: The Sanctity Of Human Blood: Vaccination I$ Not Immunization) now it's the brain. Breaking natural safeguards to our vitally protected blood and brain is a no no. Why do you think nature went through all the hoops and loops to protect them from external contamination in the first place? Please be aware that there will be consequences for violating these protections and I don't mean profits for the medical Mafia!

What is potentially bothersome is the fact that the nerves in the nose are a direct pathway to the brain, and bypass the blood-brain barrier. See Fields Virology which states "the olfactory tract has long been recognized as (a) an alternative pathway to the CNS, and (b) an important mode of spread after aerosol exposure." In the case of flaviviruses (which are admittedly not the same as influenza viruses), the text continues:  "Intranasal inoculation of flaviviruses may result in lethal encephalitis, presumably by direct infection of olfactory neurons and spread through the olfactory tract to the brain, whereas peripheral inoculation of the same virus strains does not result in neuroinvasion.  However, olfactory neurons may also provide a route for CNS infection after peripheral virus infection."  (2)

The point being, one might want to be very cautious regarding allowing things to be sprayed up one's nose.

Please be advised that the new FluMist nasal vaccine states in its package insert, that there is monosodium glutamate (MSG) used in the buffer that stabilizes the allantoic fluid harvested from the chicken eggs containing the live influenza virus.  Specifically, "the allantoic fluid of these eggs is harvested, clarified by centrifugation, and stabilized with buffer containing sucrose, potassium phosphate, and monosodium glutamate (0.47 mg/dose)."  (1)

The point being, one might want to be very cautious regarding allowing things to be sprayed up one's nose.

The package insert states that there are no preservatives in the vaccine per se, and that the virus is cultured on pathogen-free eggs.  However, as previously discussed on these lists, the chicken genome itself may contain hidden retroviruses; and there is known to be significant amounts of animal DNA that is left in vaccines during the manufacturing process, not to mention other contamination possibilities.  So, common sense might indicate that, for these reasons it might not be in one's best (healthful) interest to put these materials into one's nose.  An ordinary flu shot might be a safer route (if necessary).  Of course, this is not intended to constitute medical advice, but is meant to inform the reader of additional information in the public domain.

Readers' Comments


Could someone give me any information on how likely it would be for a young child to catch the flu from an adult choosing to get the Flu Mist?

If contact was avoided, for how long after could symptoms still appear(for example, not for a week but then two weeks after the mist?)

From a communication issued by Eileen Dannemann, director of the National Coalition of Organized Women, October 11, 2005:

Researchers and scientists recommend an emergency restraining order on Med Immune Vaccines, Inc., FLU MIST

According to research team, Dr. Mark and David Geier, the current flu vaccines are not only ineffective against the expected Avian Bird Flu pandemic but "the FDA Approved thimerosal/mercury-free FLU MIST (MedImmune Vaccines, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) vaccine may create a super strain virus plague�?, warns Dr. Mark Geier.

The well respected research team has already alerted members of the medical community in Washington, DC recommending that any support for the FLU MIST vaccine be withdrawn immediately and a restraining order be issued to the vaccine manufacturers. The immediate and present danger lies in the suspicion that FLU MIST contains the 2 exact genes that the avian flu is missing.

FluMist is a live cold-adapted trivalent nasally administered vaccine, which is currently being recommended for individuals between the age of 5 and 49 years. According to the 2005 Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), the probability of acquiring a transmitted vaccine virus following close contact with a single FluMist inoculee was estimated to be 2.4% (95% CI: 0.13-4.6) [31]. Because of the possible transmission of this vaccine's viruses, vaccine recipients are advised to avoid close contact with immuno-compromised individuals for at least 21 days. Additionally, persons with conditions such as human immunodeficiency virus infection, malignancy, leukaemia, or lymphoma, and patients who may be immunosuppressed or have altered or compromised immune status as a consequence of treatment with systemic corticosteroids, alkylating drugs, antimetabolites, radiation, or other immunosuppressive therapies, may be at significant risk if exposed within 21 days to a FluMist vaccine inoculee. Other individuals who might be at high risk if exposed within 21 days to FluMist inoculees, include, but are not limited to, adults and children with chronic disorders of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, including asthma; pregnant women; and adults and children who required regular medical follow-up or hospitalization during the preceding year because of chronic metabolic diseases (including diabetes), renal dysfunction, or hemoglobinopathies. Additionally, because FluMist contains live influenza viruses, there is the possibility with the widespread use of FluMist, that an individual might have a second concurrent viral infection (such as the avian bird flu) occur, with the possibility that the live viruses from the FluMist recombine/re-assort with the second viral infection to produce a "super virus.�?

It is obvious from the extensive list of persons who might be at risk if exposed to a FluMist vaccine recipient within 21 days of vaccination, along with potential ability of the live influenza viruses within FluMist to recombine/re-assort with other viruses, that the continued use of FluMist presents a significant potential danger to the health and well-being of a wide segment of the population. This raises major concerns about the wisdom and ethics of recommending the use of FluMist for use in the general population.
