Mayo Study: Vaccines and Pharmacogenetics

Abstract
The field of pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics provides a promising science base for vaccineresearch and development. A broad range of phenotype/genotype data combined with high through put genetic sequencing and bioinformatics are increasingly being integrated into this emerging field of vaccinomics. This paper discusses the hypothesis of the ‘immune response gene network’ and genetic (and bioinformatic) strategies to study associations between immune response gene polymorphisms and variations in humoral and cellular immune responses to prophylactic viral vaccines, such as measles–mumps–rubella, influenza, HIV, hepatitis B and smallpox. Immunogenetic studies reveal promising new vaccine targets by providing a better understanding of the mechanisms by which gene polymorphisms may influence innate and adaptive immune responses to vaccines, including vaccine failure and vaccine-associated adverse events. Additional benefits from vaccinomic studies include the development of personalized vaccines, the development of novel vaccines and the development of novel vaccine adjuvants.

Supreme Court Decision 9-0 Religious Freedom

If you don’t think this is significant, consider that virtually every large company in the United States is mandating that its employees take part in some sort of “Pride Month” event.

As long as the accommodation does not significantly increase the employer’s costs, employees should not worry about being forced to violate their religious belief.

The fact that this is a unanimous ruling is also a seriously big deal.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Groff v. DeJoy reinforced the First Amendment’s protections for religious liberty, making clear that no employer may discriminate on the basis of an employee’s religion.

For many years, businesses were free to refuse employees’ requests for religious accommodations or even fire them if doing so would result in more than a minimal, or “de minimis,” financial burden.

Christians who observe the Sabbath have found themselves unemployed as a result.

The Supreme Court just ruled last week that businesses can’t refuse to make reasonable accommodations because of the small cost or inconvenience to the business.

The Supreme Court found that employers must make reasonable religious accommodations under Title VII of the United States Constitution unless doing so would “result in substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of its particular business.”

VLA COMMENT:  I wonder if colleges are in this same boat!

Circa 2000 athletic cardiac arrests

In less than 2.5 years there have been 1,884 athlete cardiac arrests or serious issues with 1,310 of them dead

Since January 2022, Crispin Miller has been recording “died suddenly” cases worldwide that are reported in corporate media in a particular week. In his latest compilation, he recorded 57 New Zealanders who were reported as unexpectedly or suddenly losing their lives between 19 and 26 June.

Linking Vaccines to Joint disease and hip dysplasia in DOGS

The same is true of collagen in your dog. And this is when you can see overuse injuries start to happen.

Vaccinated dogs developed auto-antibodies to their own collagen

Is it any coincidence that even severe cases of hip dysplasia are not seen before eight weeks of age … the age at which most puppies are vaccinated?

VLA COMMENT: Let’s pretend this is an animal study for human beings.  That being said…how many people do you know have hip or knee replacement surgery.  Could it be that vaccines in the human population is also causing antibodies to collagen?

A Veterinary First: Treatment for Arthritis Pain

By Dr. Karen Becker (associate of Dr. Mercola as it pertains to pets)

It’s estimated that 14 million dogs and 90% of cats over age 12 in the US suffer from osteoarthritis, which can affect their quality of life. This recent FDA approval of a treatment for osteoarthritis pain may be a game changer for many pets in distress.

Secondary OA, on the other hand, can have a wide range of causes, including trauma, abnormal wear and tear on the joints and cartilage or an inherited defect present at birth such as hip dysplasia in dogs.

Most people think of collagen as an anti-aging product. You’ll find collagen in cosmetic products and in supplements because it’s the elastic protein that holds skin together.

As we age, the amount and quality of collagen in our bodies starts to diminish. That’s why we can see our skin begin to wrinkle and sag.

Collagen is also found in the joints and connective tissues of the body. In fact, collagen makes up 70 to 90% of our:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments and other joint supporting tissues

When collagen breaks down in the body it can cause …

  • The joints to become less stable
  • The muscles and connective tissue loosen and become more brittle

We also see disorders such as …

  • Arthritis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Tendonitis

Possible mitigation:  Feed your animal Bone Broth daily to supply collagen.  I have a friend who recommended Bone broth for a dog with an advanced case and he was cured.
