We've recently learned the secret behind the Swine Flu Vaccine that is being pushed so strongly on the public. While the vaccine may make you sick, its real purpose is to greatly increase the fast-kill mechanism of the pandemic still to come. Worse yet, the vaccine is being used to target specific groups of people who are simply not welcome in our brave new world.

In the USA these include Blacks, American Indians, and Baby Boomers.

A team of researchers led by Dennis Burton of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, discovered not only two "extremely potent" HIV antibodies, but also which part of the virus that the antibodies recognized, which was previously unknown as a binding site. Wayne Koff, senior vice president of research and development at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative and member of the research team says,

It's the discovery of the target that's the key thing... Our hypothesis now is that if you bind to the [newly discovered target area], you neutralise the virus, as that's how it appears on the surface of the virus... The expectation is that we'll find more. We hope there will be a number of sites that are vulnerable, and we'll know that in a few months' time.

As well as continuing to look for more weak spots, scientists now have to create vaccines that will help others create the antibodies to fight the virus in future.

Researchers at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, staged a small proof-of-principle experiment, aimed at determining whether exposure to parasites, via insect bites, could vaccinate humans against malaria.

Knowing that humans can develop an immunity to malaria after repeated exposures and that the drug chloroquine kills malaria parasites in the late stages of infection, the researchers divided 15 subjects into two groups. They exposed the first group, periodically, to parasite-bearing mosquitoes and treated them with chloroquine. The second group, the researchers also treated with chloroquine, but didn't expose to the mosquitoes. All the volunteers stopped taking chloroquine and were later exposed to parasite-carrying mosquitoes. No members of the group previously exposed to malaria developed the disease; each member of the comparison group did.

Although it's a far cry from delivering an actual vaccine via insect — and seems more a call for widerspread distribution of antimalarial drugs — it does present the possibility that insects could someday be used to immunize populations against disease. With respect to pandemics like malaria, such a mechanism could be a lifesaver, but it also presents a profound ethical dilemma. The subjects in this test gave their consent to be infected, persons living among vaccine-carrying critters wouldn't have the same luxury.

According to the BBC:

Dr Martin Mueller, one of the researchers behind this work, says that the greater damage to the body caused by the tattoo needle may explain the better immune response. The scientists say that the tattoo needles would never be suitable for preventative vaccines, such as measles, in children as the pain would be too great.
