comments on Fear of the Invisible, by Janine

September 23, 2008

The first 90 or so pages of Janine ' book (1) convey insights

relevant to autism, vaccinology, and models of disease. I've read to

page 96 thus far, and much of the rest of the book seems focused upon

HIV. She documents most of her technical assertions, and the text would

have benefited from a technical-writing editor. Nonetheless, Fear of the

Invisible is important.

For instance, she presents a convincing argument (with citations and

sources) that the viral model of polio was artificially enforced, that

the viral model turned attention away from pesticides which produce

polio-symptoms, that detox-like reversals of polio were ignored, that

polio continues even as most of its symptoms have been redefined so as

to make " polio " epidemiologically invisible, thus allowing official

statements about polio vaccine efficacy. This section of the book calls

attention to models of illness. Since polio virus is common and

generally harmless (cites in book) and since most children naturally

have polio titers (without vaccination), why is there such strong

enforcement of need for a polio vaccine - especially since polio

epidemics coincide with pesticide use (cites in book)?

Smallpox vaccination seems to have worked, and upon that success,

additional vaccinations (and patents thereon) have been the dream and

basis of many careers. However, subsequent vaccines and vaccinations are

fraught with problems, problems that the CDC, AMA, and FDA would prefer

be ignored.

As I read towards p96 was that this book, I couldn't help but feel it

makes an important contribution, as significant as Kirby's EoH summary

of the thimerosal controversy.
