When I did my nursing training in 1978, we were made to learn the
"immunisation" schedule and were tested on our knowledge of this 'important'
examination question and requirement.
At the time, I wasn't too interested in this kind of tauiwi imposition,
since 3 successive doses of failed TB vaccines had permanently scarred my
young body and some vaccinated whanau still came down with TB, regardless.
As a child, I was always achingly sore and sick after each routine jab but
this was dismissed and I was labeled "a sickly child" dosed up on
antibiotics, handed packs of aspirin and lined up for the next vaccine that
fell due.
However, in spite of myself, the pro vax message got drummed in. By the time
I went to work in infectious paediatrics, I was well and truly converted to
this method of 'disease prevention' urging disinterested iwi and tamariki to
roll up their sleeves, with a salesman like zeal.
So much so that when I subsequently rolled up my sleeve for the old serum
based hep B vaccine, I along with my colleagues rationalised and dismissed
the SOBE, wheeziness, allergies, recurrent URTI and pneumonia as stress
related. After all, we were short staffed and overworked, besides, there had
been some flu's and colds going around the hospital and community.
A course of antibiotics got me back to work in time for the second dose.
Again, the same reaction, this time followed by chronic fatigue. Six months
later, Occupational Health advised I complete the 3rd and final dose. {*filter*}
tests confirmed immunity.
For the next two years, the fatigue, allergies and recurrent URTI's
continued. I began to depend on athsma inhalers, with repeat antibiotic and
decongestant scripts. I reduced my working hours/income to cope with the
fatigue but I was still sleeping through my days off and after each shift.
Eventually I went to polytechnic, to complete my nursing diploma but was
constantly ill and exhausted. In the absence of any definitive diagnosis,
other than recurrent infections, the student counselor referred me to a
psychiatrist "for some {*filter*}" but I was even too sick and tired to find the
address. Finally I had to quit the school, after spending five weeks
bedridden.
I was so very tired that I was only able to get out of bed for toileting.
The daily shower, left me so exhausted that, I had to return to bed
immediately after washing, barely able to towel myself and unable to dry my
hair.
After five weeks in bed, a doctor queried Post Viral Fatigue. {*filter*} tests
showed elevated liver enzymes.
Desperate and broke, I began a mainly vegan and raw foods diet. I started to
feel better, to have more energy , to the extent that I was able to return
to work as a casual or bureau nurse and to finally get off the social
welfare benefit. Despite my diet and fitness programme, which made me feel
better/healthier, I was still feeling tired and old after each duty,
although I was only 34 y/o.
Then following a needle stick injury, {*filter*} results showed no detectable
antibodies to hep B so, Occupational health told me to have a booster
because of the job exposure to hep B.
That was in 1993.
I got the flu within 48 hours. When I recovered, the joint pains increased
and by 1994 I was on a sickness benefit, my life and career in tatters.
There's a nursing crisis but I can't help out, not even in a sedentary
capacity because previous post vaccine illness robbed me of completing my RN
diploma - Engerix B, putting paid to that, once and for all. Broke again and
facing bankruptcy, I haven't been able to hold down a job since that last
vaccine reaction, because of the resulting polyarthritis.
Sure, I get ACC but because of the fatigue and illnesses following the
initial vaccinations, I'd only been able to work part time. Thus ACC is only
80% of part time wages, yet the costs of managing a crippling autoimmune
condition are more than when I was well and able to earn more.
While I've taken more than 300 words to outline my HepB vaccine disaster (a
vax not made on diploid cells), let me remind Muslims, Catholics and other
Maori out there to consider the serious issue of vaccination, particularly
those manufactured using aborted foetal tissue.
Me whakaaro tatou. Do you want your whakapapa contaminated with the mauri,
wairua, tapu and whakapapa of some strange, unknown aborted kohungahunga
because some well paid kupapa working for the Big Boys tells you to?
Ma te Atua Koutou e manaaki.....

Naku noa,

I have MS many thanks to the hep B vaccine. My story is further down the
page with the name Sue Cruz. Definitely is a problem with vaccines. All 4 of
my children are fully vaccinated, and three of them I now know have some
sort of permanent problem due to the vaccines they had. But none of them
will EVER have the hep B vaccine! If I had it all to do over and now what I
know now, they would not have had a single vaccine!
Hep B vaccine...is it dangerous?

I received the hep B vaccine in 1992 for my job as a nurses aide, and had
immediate strange heat sensitivity symptoms after the third dose, but passed
it off. I was not sick in any way (flu, cold, etc) for the next 4 years, but
in late '96 began to have spells of dizziness which finally culminated in 97
with the severe onset of MS at the age of 44, when I entered perimenopause.
I recently saw when reading that the onset of autoimmune diseases is common
when one undergoes a hormonal change where the estrogen is suddenly
decreased such as in perimenopause. I now know the two incidents were
definitely connected! But I got no warning whatsoever of ANY risk like
this!!! BEWARE!!!!!
