Over 40 Children Paralyzed by Meningitis Vaccine

Vaccines in Africa are part of a bigger picture

Vactruth, an organization dedicated to promoting the truth about vaccines, is asking why vaccines are being pushed so strongly in a country like Africa, which lacks clean drinking water and basic sanitation services. They note that UNICEF blames Chad’s current outbreaks of meningitis and other diseases on “vital, common sense need”, not on a need for vaccinations. Major organizations have spend $571 million on this vaccination project, at a time when wells to provide access to clean drinking water can be constructed for less than $3,000.

But common sense does not rule the day when there is a larger agenda underlying action, an agenda that is preventing Africa from developing independently and self-sufficiently. Africa remains at the behest of the search for money and power that is the driving force of the West. It is a country rich in natural resources and the last frontier from which fortunes can be made. As such, it is being prevented from exercising rights over its own land and people, and its destiny is in the hands of power mongers.

Lack of basic nutrition, nutritional education, and lack of money to implement such a knowledge leaves the people vulnerable to any “miracle” drug or procedure that comes along. Famine and food shortages spurred by the implementation and subsequent failure of the genetically modified food crops being foisted on Africa compound the situation.

The vaccination approach to world health completely ignores the underlying issues that give rise to epidemics. Infectious diseases such as meningitis and polio will continue to persist in Africa and further weaken and demoralize its population, as though that were a part of a plan, as long as its population remains immuno-suppressed. That $571 million spent on MedAfriVac could have gone a long way in creating a more informed and healthy population able to resist disease, if it had been better spent on nourishment. But that is not part of the agenda for Africa.
