Description
Étude sur la vaccination contre la grippe, avec un plaidoyer pour l’usage de la vitamine C.
Le Prix Nobel de chimie 1954 et Prix Nobel de la Paix 1962 a écrit cette étude probablement à l’occasion d’une nouvelle édition de Vitamin C, the Common Cold and the Flu(1976).
« It is pointed out in Chapter 2 that some protection against influenza is provided by vaccination. The vaccine is usually prepared with killed virus that has been grown in fertilized eggs. Vaccination is about 70 to 80 percent effective, and sometimes is accompanied by side effects »... Etc.
Il étudie le cas d’une épidémie de grippe ayant frappé mortellement la base militaire de Fort Dix dans le New Jersey, s’attachant aux différents virus identifiés… Il exprime certaines réserves au sujet de la vaccination : efficacité limitée, effets secondaires, exemples de mortalité… Il présente les différents types de vaccins, se référant à des études scientifiques... Il évoque des initiatives gouvernementales, des recours devant les tribunaux, et des risques réels de pandémie Il vante les mérites de la vitamine C, et conclut en faveur de l’acide ascorbique, pour éviter et améliorer le rhume et la grippe, et contrôler d’autres maladies…
« Persons with special risk, such as those with heart, lung, kidney and certain metabolic diseases, including diabetes, are advised to be vaccinated against influenza, as are also doctors, nurses, and others exposed to the virus to more than the usual extent. They should also take vitamin C, it will protect against the side effects of the vaccination, as well as against the disease. If an attack of influenza begins and is not stopped by the vitamin C, continue to take the vitamin in large amounts. It should make the attack a light one, of short duration.
Conclusion. Most people suffer from regular bouts with the common cold and occasional attacks of influenza. I believe that the application of a simple form of orthomolecular medicine, the use of ascorbic acid, can be effect in averting and ameliorating the common cold and influenza, and can contribute significantly to the control also of other diseases. I hope that this book will help in achieving this result. »
