The new king of Texas

By Cynthia A. Janak

On July 4th, 1776, we declared our independence from England. We wanted to be a nation that was governed by the people for the people.

It has been over 200 years since we had a king rule this country and it has been great. We have freedom and a government that is composed of legislative, executive and judicial branches. This form of government is "supposed" to protect us from any individual becoming so powerful that he rules by decree instead of going through the process that we hold dear.

But what is happening today? We have politicians that are circumventing the system that our forefathers so carefully put in place to prevent a monarchy in this country. How are they doing that? What our elected officials are doing is enacting executive orders and writing statements that change laws or bypass the legislative process. This is happening more and more in all the executive branches of our government in this country.

The most recent abuse of this power is the governor of Texas. Governor Perry, through an executive order, has mandated that female children receive a vaccine that could be harmful. He bypassed the opinion of the people and of the legislature which was in opposition to this mandate. They did not want to put into law forced vaccinations of Gardasil, a Merck & Co. product.

Before we get into this any further, let's look at who Governor Rick Perry really is. First and foremost he is a west Texas rancher who became governor because President Bush resigned the governorship to run for president. He has since this time in 2000 been re-elected to the governorship.

Let's go back to May of 1995. There was an incident that involved the abuse and death of a hog at the Tyler County Fair. I know it doesn't sound like much but this will help show you the mind set of this man.

This is what happened. A young man put a water hose down the throat of a hog that he entered in the fair to add more weight to the animal. This is a far cry from encouraging the animal to eat or drink. Needless to say, the hog died.

Then Governor Bush sent then Commissioner of Agriculture Rick Perry to investigate the abuse. Perry sent two staffers to do the investigation into the alleged abuse. These staffers came back to report that the incident was "accidental." Here is an excerpt from the letter to then Governor Bush. "The underlying issue which has created a whirlwind of attention is whether or not an animal has the same rights as a human being."

What has this to do with shoving a hose down an animal's throat? Nothing!!! To me this is the opposite of the removal of a feeding tube and staving a person to death. Perry, with his comment, basically, condoned this action by the youth. To me this shows that he has little regard for a living creature.

Guilt by association, on Sunday, June 25th, 2000 there was an article in the Easton, Maryland, The Sunday Star, titled "Bush scandals, bad policy." I would like to know why this article or something similar did not run in other newspapers. I was glad that I was sitting down when I read the article. It showed me that Bush caters to the big business and not so much to the people.

One example is Metabolife's Washington lobbyist gave $141,000 to Bush's gubernatorial campaigns and $100,000 for his presidential campaign. At the time, Metabolife's Ephedrine products were linked to 8 deaths but for some reason stricter limits on the drug were dropped.

In the same article it states that $1.5 million was given to Perry in contributions and loans to give him the edge over John Sharp. This money was provided by James Leininger. Leininger was a supporter of "tort deform" which made it impossible for anyone to sue big business. Can you say we have a big business connection here?

Don't worry. I am going to tie all of this together in the end.

Now we come to pharmaceutical giant Merck who put a product on the market call Vioxx. On August 22nd, 2005, CNNMoney reported that Merck lost its first lawsuit in regards to Vioxx. One of the arguments by Lanier the attorney for widow Carol Ernst was that Merck concealed information about the health risks associated with the drug to protect sales.

What did Merck say about this, they said that Vioxx did not cause Ernst's death. They asserted that arrhythmia had not been linked in the Vioxx studies.

Can you say that the drug came on the market too soon? I can.

This article also states that Merck has 4,200 product liability lawsuits that represent about 7,500 plaintiff groups had been filed. In May of 2005, Judge Eldon Fallon told reporters that lawsuits could reach 100,000.

A tiny bit about the company Merck. Merck (MRK) Reuters article dated January 30, 2007's headline is "Merck profit falls, hurt by charges, generic Zocor." A summary of the article is that generic drugs are hurting their profit. The other item that is hurting Merck are the "tens of thousands of lawsuits" that are filed because of Vioxx adverse side effects.

One other thing about Merck, they pay Richard T. Clark, CEO and President $4,160,106 for the year of 2005, Judy C. Lewent, CFO, Exec. VP., $1,946,700 for the year of 2005. There are more officers that receive over a million a year but I did not feel the need to list all of them here. Now remember this does not include the gift stock options that they receive.

Now, I am going to take you down the path of the vaccine, Gardasil by Merck.

At the http://www.medalerts.org site, there is a link to "National Vaccine Information Center." This site provides the public with the resource to research different vaccines. I found that there were 82 reports of adverse reactions reported in regards to this vaccine.

There are several articles and papers to read about this drug that Texas, Governor Perry wants to inflict on the female youth of his state. My focus is going to be on the side effects that have been reported. All the reports I am going to reference the patient had no preexisting conditions.

Days since Vaccination — 0–1 hr. after vaccination — pt reported to feel dizzy, weak, vision went black for a few seconds, got pale with purple lips.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — Vasovagal syncope(drop in blood pressure) shortly after receiving hep A and Gardasil vaccine, fell, hit nose on a drawer, loss of consciousness, sent to ER in transport broke nose.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — ...complained of pains, numbness. Started walking down hall fainted and had tonic/clonic movement (grand mal seizures) for 15 sec.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — immediately after the injection...the patient experienced pain and stinging at the injection site that lasted about 2 minutes and radiated the arm. The patient also reported feeling faint following the injection and experienced swelling.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — At the time of the vaccination the patient experienced extreme pain at the injection site and fainted.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — Vaccine given after physical. Patient fainted, vasovagal (drop in blood pressure), hit head on carpeted cement floor. Loss of consciousness 1 min, had tonic (stiffening of the limbs) posturing of right hand only some shaking.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — Patient said right deltoid area, became red, swollen, quarter size hard knot, achy, painful to raise arm.

Days since Vaccination — 0 — Immediately after vaccine administration patient had syncopal episode with tonic posturing fell from table. Responded with gentle stimulation versus normal 5 minutes post regaining full consciousness.

Explanation of terms:

Vasovagal Syncope — Vasovagal syncope is not a serious or life threatening condition, but in effect an abnormal reflex. This results in a drop in blood pressure leading to decreased blood flow to the brain resulting in dizziness or fainting.

The symptoms in vasovagal syncope are slightly different for each person, but often include many of the following characteristics:

• Most episodes occur while standing, occasionally sitting and almost never lying down
  
  
• Patients often describe feeling very warm and sweaty before blacking out
  
  
• Nausea and rarely vomiting can precede episodes
  
  
• Observers often describe the patients as pale ("white as a sheet")
  
  
• Patients are usually unresponsive ("out") for less than a minute
  
  
• Patients may have some twitching while unresponsive, but seldom shake violently, bite their tongue or lose control of bowel and bladder function. The latter are more suggestive of a primary seizure.
  
  
• After regaining consciousness, patients are usually immediately aware of their surroundings, who and where they are
  
  
• After an episode, patients often feel somewhat dizzy and report feeling tired for as much as 24 hours
  
  
• Patients that learn to recognize the warning signs can avert losing consciousness by sitting or lying down promptly.

tonic/clonic movement — Generalized tonic clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most common and best known type of generalized seizure. They begin with stiffening of the limbs (the tonic phase), followed by jerking of the limbs and face (the clonic phase).

During the tonic phase, breathing may decrease or cease altogether, producing cyanosis (blueing) of the lips, nail beds, and face. Breathing typically returns during the clonic (jerking) phase, but it may be irregular. This clonic phase usually lasts less than a minute.

Some people experience only the tonic, or stiffening phase of the seizure; others exhibit only the clonic or jerking movements; still others may have a tonic-clonic-tonic pattern.

Incontinence may occur as a result of the seizure. The tongue or inside of the mouth may be bitten during the episode; breathing afterwards may be noisy and appear to be labored. Contrary to popular belief, nothing should be placed in the mouth during the seizure; turning the patient on one side will help prevent choking and keep the airway clear.

Following the seizure, the patient will be lethargic, possibly confused, and want to sleep. Headache sometimes occurs. Full recovery takes minutes to hours, depending on the individual.

After this I went to find out about the drug Gardasil from one of my favorite sites, WebMD. (My suggestion to everyone reading this is to request your doctor to check in the PDR (Prescription Drug Reference) for the specifics and side effects of any drug that is going to be prescribed. Doctors are good healers but they cannot know everything about every drug or vaccine that is out there today.)

First the uses for Gardasil.

"This medication is a vaccine used to prevent cervical cancer, genital warts and abnormal tissue growth in the vagina/cervix that can lead to cancer in women. These conditions are commonly caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

This medication does not protect against all types of HPV, only the types in the vaccine. (2 HPV 16 & HPV 18) It is used to prevent the diseases and will not treat active cervical cancer, genital warts or other diseases caused by the types of HPV in the vaccine.

Side Effects of Gardasil.

Redness, itching, swelling, bruising, and pain at the injection site may occur. Fever may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell you doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur, joint pain/swelling.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Precautions of Gardasil.

Before receiving this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it: or to other vaccines; or if you have any other allergies.

Before receiving this vaccination, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: immune system problems,. (e.g. HIV infection), bleeding disorders (e.g. hemophilia, thrombocytopenia), current fever/illness.

Interactions of Gardasil.

Before receiving this vaccination, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: "blood thinners" (e.g. warfarin), cancer chemotherapy, coricosteroids (e.g. prednisone, dexamethasone), drugs that weaken the immune system (e.g. cyclosporine, tacrolimus).

Notes for Gardasil.

As with any vaccine, this vaccine may not fully protect everyone who receives it.

Getting this vaccine does not replace cervical cancer screening. Continue to have regular obstetrician/gynecologist checkups.

Now I want to make a comparison between what Merck and Medical News Today says about the vaccine.

Merck:

There were no discontinuations due to serious vaccine-related adverse events. Adverse events were higher among those who received GARDASIL compared with placebo recipients. The most common vaccine-related adverse event reported was local discomfort at the injection site.

Medical News Today:

The most common injection site and systemic adverse events were pain and headache, respectively.

This is interesting considering what the "National Vaccine Information Center" had to say about the side effects. Can anyone say cover-up for profit?

The ingredients of Gardasil.

Each 0.5-mL dose of the vaccine contains approximately 225 mcg of aluminum (as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant), 9.56 mg of sodium chloride, 0.78 mg of L-histidine, 50 mcg of polysorbate 80, 35 mcg of sodium borate, and water for injection. The product does not contain a preservative or antibiotics.

I want to bring your attention here to the aluminum that is used in this vaccine. From what I have read this type of aluminum is used to help with absorption of the vaccine. My question to you is where does the aluminum go after it has done its job? I am not a scientist and I would like the answer. This is what I found on this.

This was taken from an article about "Aluminum and the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease by Dr. Joseph Mercola.

http://www.mercola.com/1998/archive/aluminum_and_alzheimer_prevention.htm

The cause of AD is unknown. However, environmental influences appear to be important. Aluminum is a widely recognized nerve toxin. It has been found in increased concentrations in all AD affected tissue. Recent scientific studies provide four independent lines of compelling evidence that implicate aluminum's role in the cause of AD.

The last bit of information about this wonderful vaccine is that the price tag is high. This is what Merck had to say about that.

Manufacturer Merck & Co. has set the price at $360 for a series of three injections, and it is often covered by insurance.

I am going to tie this all together for you. This governor Perry has no clue how harmful this vaccine could be to the female youth of his state. If he had done his research into the vaccine as I have done today we would not have an executive order mandating this abuse of young women.

Here is a company that has a history of lawsuits because of its drugs but yet this governor ignores this well known fact. For some reason he is looking the other way and is going to turn over your children and hard earned money to this Pharmaceutical Giant. Maybe it could be because the normal person would never expose their children to such a harmful vaccine knowingly.

Governor Perry should have listened to what the people and the legislature had to say about making this mandatory. But he did not. The King wanted his way and had little intention of listening to the legislature of his state.

What does that say to me, volumes! This act by this King of Texas is in violation of the rules that govern this wonderful country. From what I have seen today, in my opinion, it looks as if the contributions of the big business lobby are guiding his actions. It is my opinion that he wanted to keep the money rolling in for his re-election campaign.

How many of our young people are going to have to die from anaphylactic shock or be confined to a nursing home for brain damage because of lack of blood to the brain before this drug is taken off the market? How many more Terry Schiavo's do we have to have out there?

My reason for writing this article is to let the people of this wonderful country, the United States of America, know that the King has returned to rule this country and we were all sleeping when it happened.

You need to take action now because we no longer have any time left to save the United States of America. Look at who you have in your government. Check out what bills they have passed and what is in them. Look at what your governors are doing with their executive order privilege which is to be used only in cases of emergency. And lastly, and it pains me to say this but, look at the executive orders and the statements that our President has put in motion. It makes me weep and pains my heart.

We hired all of these individuals to protect our rights under the Constitution as United States Citizens. We pay these people their salaries to do the work that we hired them to do. It has come the time to fire all of them and start anew so we can bring back the greatness that this country once was again.

Don't let a King run this country by decree. Stop the trend now.
