Chapter 42 “the scramble for immunity; thank you chickenpox and measles”

Medicine holds few surprises for me as a physician. Just when we thought we had licked a disease like polio, measles, smallpox, chicken pox, syphilis, or rubella then up pops Ebola, AIDS, SARs, MERs, COVIDs and Virus # 26. Countless hours of research and testing are required and we often succeed with some pharmaceutical to conquer the intruder. And make no mistake Big Pharma made fortunes for their successes but then there were disasters along the way such as DES and thalidomide.

But there were countless citizens of the globe that had no access or funds to buy Big Pharma and others that did have the funds to bypassed the poison Big Pharma offered and sought natural remedies such as supplements, cannabis, herbs and spices along with yoga and meditation. There were also some that refused vaccination due to their apprehension about its contents.

For Virus # 26 I had mentioned earlier that those who had suffered through measles and chickenpox were immune to Virus # 26. So many researchers had succumbed to Virus # 26 the research on why the non-vaccination for measles and chicken pox was an immunity against Virus # 26 was never really completed and subject to thorough peer review. But enough research was done along with the compilation of anecdotal evidence to validate the preliminary research conditions. Why did having these childhood diseases give person immunity to Virus # 26 was not well understood other than it had to do with giving the immunity system some necessary fuel to attack and kill the virus.

The result was that almost all the boomers were immune but by 2030 most were dead or seniors in their late 70’s. And then there were the antivaxxers and a great bulk of the global population that were never vaccinated against chicken pox and measles.

I had the measles and chicken pox like most boomers where in the 1950’s and 1960’s moms took their children to homes of their friends with children who had the disease so as “to get it over with”. It was not widely understood in those days how dangerous measles could be and I narrowly escaped death and debilitating mental illness after contracting measles encephalitis. Then again once vaccinations were introduced in the 1960’s people who saw what thalidomide did failed to realize the toxins in vaccinations could be just as malicious. You were screwed as far as Virus # 26 went if you had the vaccinations for measles and chickenpox. My daughter Alexis at my insistence did not have the vaccinations and went through both the measles and chickenpox. My son who had the vaccinations died and my wife who also had them died at the hands of Virus # 26.

You might have thought that the antivaxxers were some tiny minority but you would be surprised to realize there was a network of doctors who were terrified of the toxins in vaccinations and gave falsified documents to parents showing their children had been vaccinated against both chickenpox and measles. In can only be guessed that in North America and Europe where such vaccinations were mandatory there were several hundred thousand that escaped the needle. Also the many refugees who had flooded into the First World countries in the 2000’s never had these vaccinations.

Unfortunately, there was no way this immunity could be transferred by blood transfusions from an immune to a non-immune.

The antivaxxers were vindicated and thank God my Alexis was safe. Then again so many in the Second and Third World were safe as they had not the funds to pay for such vaccinations. They had never trusted the Mitzy and Bill Kruger Foundation enough to give them their arm nor accept their offer of “Free Sterilization” with $200 U.S. cash as an incentive payment.
