"Hist test for how much residual toxin is in the
vaccine:
Vaccine is injected into the stomach of the mice. Four to five days
afterwards they are injected with histamine, and the number dying within 24
hours is recorded. If too many mice die, there is too much residual toxin in the
vaccine for your baby.
This one, they say is so inadequate it "must be regarded as a priority for
replacement".
Of course concerns about these
tests have been voiced. Especially the fact that
mice do not exactly correlate to human beings anyway.
Yet despite stated misgivings, 58 years after these mouse tests were first
developed, they are still the benchmark for proving that whooping cough vaccines
are safe and potent.
The other interesting point is that
test results depend on the age and breed of mice. Some tests have to be in
"infant or suckling mice". But most are in adult mice. Old mice aren't
susceptible to respiratory infections. Some breeds are hardier, or die in larger
numbers. The best breed is "ddy" (Ref 1, p. 95) but in 1991 the preference was
for a "HSFSN" mouse (Ref 4, C2).
Interestingly, only one strain of
whooping cough-type bacteria (strain 18-323) works well in mice. This strain is
more closely related to Bordetalla brochoseptica than b-type. pertussis raising
further questions regarding its applicability to natural disease in humans (Ref
4, C2).
You have to ask the question: "Are the human breed 'mice' supposed to keel over
like the 'mice' mice?"
There are a million mechanisms by
which a foreign substance like a vaccine can cause harm. These safety tests are
only designed to look at a very narrow spectrum of the blatantly obvious, and
even that isn't done very well. But doctors see an official report saying that
the potency is effective, the vaccine is safe, and assume that these tests prove
that the whooping cough vaccine is safe in all possible aspects, for every
possible reaction.
So if your child dies, or maybe
gets serious brain damage, autism or behavioural disorders which the tests
aren't designed to look at, doctors think that that damage can't come from the
vaccine, because the Ministry of Health has a piece of paper saying that the
vaccine is "safe".
The reality is that mouse tests are
irrelevant to human biology in many ways. Some people attempt to argue that they
are only regulatory stepping stones to more relevant human trials. In human
trials, though, what equates to what happened to the mice? In many ways, human
trials can be worse in design concept than the mouse tests."---
