RESPONSE TO NAFDAC’S STATEMENT ON USE OF MERCURY-CONTAINING CHILDHOOD VACCINES IN NIGERIA

Summary: NAFDAC’s current regulations will not permit in a body lotion, the level and form of mercury it claims to be harmless in some vaccines being administered to children. Copious news reports have brought to our attention a Press Release issued by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on 24th October, 2022. The Release attempts to underplay the indisputable fact that vaccines, in formats long-proscribed in the developed nations, on safety considerations, are still being shipped to Nigeria for use in our children. The NAFDAC’s Press Release was craftily directed at an uncited media “statement” which supposedly claimed that the mercury content in the vaccines in question is 40%. The focus of the Release was thereafter directed at this wrongly quoted value. In actuality, it is thimerosal that contains 49.6% of ethyl mercury, while the concentration of thimerosal in vaccines could range from 0.003 to 0.01% as correctly stated in the NAFDAC’s statement. Since the NAFDAC’s Release is obviously directed, ultimately, at submissions made at the recently concluded 7th National Conference on Environment and Health convened by us, we reproduce here, for the records, our exact statement on the issue. Observation No 3 in the Conference Communique reads: i. It was observed that while the use of thimerosal (49.6% ethyl mercury) as preservative in traditional vaccines had been proscribed in the USA for over 2 decades, and in Europe for more than 30 years, this practice is still ongoing in Nigeria. This is based on recommendations stemming from Risk Assessment exercises carried out by foreign/global agencies. Vaccines so affected include Hepatitis B and Tetanus-Diphteria multidose vaccines. Mercury in all forms is known to be neurotoxic. ii. By switching to single-dose forms of the same vaccine, as is done in the developed countries, the need for the use of thimerosal (as preservative) will be eliminated. The full Communique can be obtained from http://conferences.lsfnigeria.org. The issue is therefore not the wrongly-ascribed (possibly a typo) value of 40% as mercury content in the vaccine The 0.003 – 0.01% value quoted by the NAFDAC, while sounding miniscule as expressed in percentages, is actually humongous in trace elements toxicology. The upper limit actually translates to 25 microgram of ethyl mercury in a typical 0.5mL dose which could be administered, in the case of Hepatitis B vaccine, to day-old low-birthweight babies. By comparison, the WHO recommended limit for mercury in 0.5 mL of waste water that can be used for agricultural purposes is 0.0005 microgram. That is 50,000 times lower than the mercury level in the vaccine! The NAFDAC is certainly not unaware of the highly toxic nature of mercury. Indeed the Agency has literally ZERO tolerance for mercury appearing, in any form, in all cosmetics and other household products. A statement on NAFDAC’s website explains this proscription: “Mercury is prohibited in cosmetics products because it can be harmful to health and can be absorbed into the body and causes damage to the kidneys and nervous system, as well as disrupt the brain development of young or unborn children…” https://www.nafdac.gov.ng/public-alert-no-007-2020-alert-on-ban-on-distribution-of-three-cosmetics-products-by-malaysian-ministry-of-health/ Deliberately loading babies, repeatedly, with such humongous amount of mercury is therefore clearly unconscionable. The practice was proscribed in Europe over 30 years ago, and despite considerable resistance by the formidable Vaccine Lobby, it was also proscribed in the USA some 10 years later. Despite NAFDAC’s repeated claim of no evidence of harm, the sole reason for the proscription of these vaccines in the developed nations is SAFETY. The NAFDAC attempts to befuddle this straightforward issue by repeatedly appealing to the World Health Organization. According to the NAFDAC, since the WHO has not placed an outright proscription on the product, NAFDAC can continue to load the brains of Nigerian children with levels of mercury which would be unacceptable in waste waters and cosmetics. And just to be clear, global bodies such as the WHO or the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) are primarily concerned with issues that traverse nations. Using negotiations and consensus-building, acceptable middle-ground solutions that would least rock the boat are endorsed and recommended in the sensitive task of accommodating the widely different values and interests represented in nearly 200 member states. It is left for each nation to decide on strictly local issues – such as how much mercury to pump into the brain of their babies. For emphasis, it was not the WHO that proscribed the use of thimerosal in vaccines in the developed nations, but the national agencies - the equivalents of our NAFDAC – in those nations. The WHO’s perspective for risk assessment of the continued use of thimerosal-containing vaccines is not by any means a secret. It is clearly indicated in several technical articles, such as the one by Drain et al (2003) published in the official Bulletin of the WHO (Drain PK, Nelson CM, Lloyd JS. Single-dose versus multi-dose vaccine vials for immunization programmes in developing countries. Bull World Health Organ. 2003;81(10):726-31). Simply put, if a nation considers herself too impoverished to afford safer single-dose vaccines which do not contain mercury as preservative, it is better to recommend they accept the morbid risk of impaired neurodevelopment in their children than the mortal risk associated with such infections as hepatitis, tetanus, and diphtheria. And, of course, there is also the need to stabilize a sensitive global vaccine industry. It is not our intention to by any means discredit the NAFDAC or take up issues with her. This issue in question predates her by decades and there are several intimidating global players involved. Our overriding concern is that health products which are not acceptable for use in the manufacturer/donors’ own children cannot be good enough for our own children and grand children. We encourage NAFDAC to rather side with the Nigerian people and advise government on budgetary requirements to shift to the use of single-dose vials, or other upcoming innovations; such that Nigerians who require vaccines could continue to have them with at least the same relative safety enjoyed in other climes.

THE LOOMING CHANGES TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATIONS (IHR)

 

I had the priviledge of being part of a Panel who on Sunday 12^th November discussed on ‘Soni Irabor Live’ on Inspiration 92.3 FM radio, the changing faces of the World Health Organization (WHO).  Particularly concerning were the proposed drastic changes to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that would see nations effectively stripped of their sovereignty which would be transferred to the WHO.   Current WHO rules require that details of amendments to the IHR must be made available for public scrutiny, at least 4 months ahead of presentation for ratification at a World Health Assembly.  However, worrisomely, the Working Group fine-tuning the proposed amendments has indicated it would not be able to get them ready four months before the 77^th World Health Assembly coming up in May next year.  However, rather than wait to present them at the 78^th edition in 2025, the Group has requested that the requirement for public scrutiny be simply waived!  In that case, with the general public effectively blanked out, we could expect back-stage politicking and private arm-twisting of country delegates, which would turn the Assembly into a mere rubber-stamping event. The amendments are to be passed based on simple majority, and there would be no record of how individual delegates voted!

Nevertheless, the general picture for the amendments, as proposed by different nations, are well known. For instance, there is a proposal that the Secretary General of the WHO be authorized to not only declare matters of Public Health Emergencies of International Concerns at any location on the planet, he should also be empowered to specify the response that MUST follow such declarations, irrespective of local laws and opinions.  As we have seen before, such response might include lockdowns, social distancing, mandatory masking, mandatory vaccination, and similar measures.  Up till now, at least officially, WHO positions are largely advisory, and are subordinate to those held by the relevant national authorities.

Actually, it can be easily shown that the proposed revisions to the IHR represent aspirations long-nurtured by globalists.  Most of them were contained in Singapore’s Infectious Disease Act of 1977 (that country was then under a dictatorship), which in turn formed over ninety percent of the changes proposed in Nigeria’s Control of infectious diseases Act in 2020.  Those proposals, allegedly sponsored by Mr Bill Gates, were stoutly resisted by Nigerians during the subsequent public hearing at the National Assembly.  Instructively, part of the amendments had sought to empower the Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to pronounce any premises (in Nigeria) as infected; and anyone deemed to be a suspected “case”, having been in contact with someone who had been in the precinct of such premises, could be detained (“quarantined/isolated”) indefinitely at any facility, at any location, and/or subject to whatever “treatment” as prescribed by Director General!   (See details in LSF’s Memorandum to the National Assembly on the Bill).  Despite the unanimous spontaneous rejection of those outrageous provisions by Nigerians however, the wily globalists behind the moves simply side-stepped the National Assembly and went on to invest the very same powers on a new entity they created – the Presidential Task Force on COVID.  We all knew what we saw - pepper!

Now the changes to the IHR rehash those same provisions and seek to tidily and permanently invest those incredible powers on the Secretary General of the WHO and some select Committees for global application.  To make matters much worse, the issues that can be pronounced Public Health Concerns no longer need be some infectious disease attributed to a tangible causative organism (such as some coronavirus), but could be related to some amorphous socio-cultural concerns.  Indeed, the definition of pandemics and health emergencies would now incorporate “potential harm” (as determined by the WHO), and not just actual harm.  Any contrary opinions, tagged “misinformation” and “disinformation,” would be heavily sanctioned.  A total of 307 IHR amendments have been proposed. Detailed review of these have been provided by James Roguski and the Equity International Initiative, for instance.

Interestingly, even as negotiations and fine-tuning are ongoing (largely on the trade and political aspects), infrastructures needed to implement the outcomes are already being set up by the WHO.  Implying that the “negotiations” and the upcoming presentation at the World Health Assembly are indeed mere charades with pre-determined outcomes.  Just as COVID vaccines were already being mass-produced while ostensibly clinical testing of their safety and efficacy were still ongoing!

So, my co-panelists on Soni Irabor Live (the eminent Prof M.C Asuzu, show co-host Dr Patrick Ijewere, and outspoken ob-gynaecologist, Dr Oby Ideh), together with the contributing public, were understandably much concerned and repeatedly referred to the development as “scary”.  The consensus seems to be that Nigerians must somehow get President Tinubu to actually write the WHO to denounce the coming amendments, or even entirely opt out of the WHO!  To this end, Host Soni Irabor promised to invite some officials of the Federal Ministry of Health on set to brief Nigerians on the matter. 

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for me to view these prescriptions optimistically.  Indeed, in my candid opinion, considering current realities, Nigeria would probably be the last country on earth to contemplate standing up to the WHO.  I explain.

Over the years, the WHO has with outright impunity, exercised even more frightening authority in Nigeria than what is being sought in the proposed amendments to the IHRs.  For instance, in total disregard to our laws, the WHO, at the instance of her globalist puppeteers, came out with some novel “Protocols” directed largely at two pivotal nations, Nigeria and South Africa, at the advent of the COVID mRNA vaccines in 2020.  By the Protocols, named “Reliance” and “Recognition”, the national regulatory authorities of Nigeria and South Africa were absolved of their responsibilities to thoroughly assess the safety and efficacy of these vaccines before being licensed for use in their countries!  Rather, they were directed to suspend their established protocols and simply regurgitate whatever pronouncement is made by some “more matured” authorities elsewhere.  Sadly, while South Africa noted but ignored the said protocols (leading to the rejection of over 1 million doses of Astra Zenica vaccines, few days to much-publicized launch), Nigeria docilely and fully complied!  Those infamous protocols still proudly adorn NAFDAC’s website till today!

Exactly the same situation is playing out, as we write, with respect to mercury-laden vaccines which are still being administered to Nigerian babies - decades after such practice has been proscribed in the developed nations who produce and ship down the vaccines to us, under “generous subsidies”.   In her formal response to the public outcry generated when the issue was pointed out at the 7^th National Conference on Environment and Health last year, NAFDAC simply claimed that the mercury level is not high enough to be concerning!  When we point out that the very same level of mercury deemed un-concerning in babies’ vaccines remains unacceptable to NAFDAC in cosmetics and soaps to be used externally by adults, NAFDAC resorts to her standard cover: “the WHO has assessed and determined that the benefits of our babies receiving such vaccines outweighs the risks, bla, bla, bla”.  And with such an appeal to the great infallible authority WHO, every matter becomes closed in Nigeria!

Indeed, to all intents and purposes, the WHO does not need any revision of the IHRs to continue to ride roughshod over healthcare in Nigeria!

And in case someone is wondering why Nigeria can’t set up facilities for vaccine production locally, so we can decide whether to continue to produce them in mercury-laden multi-dose format, or adopt the mercury-free single-dose format used in those countries who produce the mercuric version for our babies, the answer again, leads to the WHO!  Another strange contraption of the WHO is the formulation of a so-called “Maturity Levels”, on which scale Nigeria has been adjudged as not matured enough to produce vaccines!

This is incredible, seeing that Nigeria had actually produced her vaccines locally for over five decades (between 1940 and 1991)  - before the facility at Yaba was sabotaged by globalists under the guise of helping with upgrades! Last year, the NAFDAC nauseatingly celebrated her certification as having moved to Maturity Level 3 - one more level before Nigeria can begin to contemplate producing her own vaccines again!

So, sadly, the abject subordination of our national health institutions to the WHO’s whims and caprices is already a fait accompli and any amendments to the IHR are mere icing on the cake for the globalists, as far as Nigeria is concerned.  Yet this is no cause to wallow in pessimism.  At the LivingScience Foundation, we firmly believe that there is absolutely no way darkness is ever going to subdue Light!  Accordingly, we quietly await what He that sitteth in the heavens will rule on this matter.  For one thing, we know there is always a David reserved for every gangling Goliath.

Hopefully the David is reading this piece, and will know what to do!

Shalom.

2023 WINNER, A.F. OLUWOLE PRIZE – ENGR OLUFUNBI O. O.SODE

 Engineer Olufunbi Oludotun Olanrewaju SODE was born in Lagos on 16th July, 1955.  He attended Remo Secondary School, Sagamu, Remo between 1968 and 1973, and the University Tutorial College, London between 1976-1977.  Thereafter, he proceeded to the Polytechnic (now The University), Queensgate, Huddersfield where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1979, and also the University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire between 1979 and 1982.   He was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in Powder Technology in 1981, and a degree of Master of Philosophy in the same speciality in 1985.  He is a registered member of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Institution of Chemical. Engineers, Rugby, England, and the Nigerian Environmental Society.

 

Between July 1982 and June 1983, Engr Sode did his mandatory NYSC service at the NNPC Chiyoda, Kaduna and later at the Chemical Engineering Department of the Ahmadu Bello University,  Samaru, Zaria. There, he participated in developing the proposal for a cooperation program between that Department and the National Roots Crops Research Institute, Umuahia on Ginger Processing.

 

A Christian and married, Engr. Sode started his career in the Civil Service with the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission. Between 1984-1991 he served as HOD Mathematics and Technical Department within the Commission.  He was also involved in Curriculum development.

 

In 1991, he transferred his service to the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, FEPA and was assigned the responsibility of the Head, Public Complaint Unit of the Agency.  As a result of his passion, commitment and dedication to duty, he was posted to the Port Harcourt Office of FEPA in 1993 until the establishment of the Federal Ministry of Environment in the year 2000. During this period, the Port Harcourt Office of FEPA was charged with the responsibility of overseeing both the South-South and South-East Zones from where he gained considerable knowledge and practical experience on the management, protection and regulation of the environment in general including the Oil and Gas sector.

 

In the year 2000, Engr. Sode was again deployed to the Federal Ministry of Environment Headquarters in Abuja to join hands with other staff in setting up the Oil & Gas Division of the Environmental Assessment department from which the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA was established. 

 

In 2007, Engr. Olufunbi Sode was again deployed to the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) at its creation. At inception, he was Head of the Extractive Industry Compliance Monitoring (EICM) Division of the Inspection & Enforcement Department and was instrumental to the development of several National Environmental Regulations.   He was at various times the Zonal Director of South-South and South-West respectively before his mandatory retirement as an accomplished Director, Regulator,  and a passionate environmentalist in 2015.   Engr. Sode was part of a Team involved in building capacity of upcoming staff of the Agency. 

 

Apart from his regular schedule of duties,  while in public service, Engr Sode was involved in several special activities.  These included serving as an EIA Panel Review Member for several developmental projects within Nigeria.   He also represented the Director General/CEO of NESREA as well as the Hon. Minister of Environment at different times at several fora during his service period.  Engr Sode monitored and supervised the Demonstration Waste Control Project in Erinfun and Ilokun Waste Control Plants up to Commissioning. Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State (March – June 2012); conceptualized the project on Environmental Biotechnology for the Enhancement of Compost from Biodegradable Wastes Port Harcourt, Rivers State (July 2011 – Feb. 2012); and was involved in the Preparation of Standardized Guidelines for the   Administration of Oil Spill Compensation for NOSDRA, June-November, 2006.  He was a member of the Implementation Committee of the Olokola Deep-Seaport and Free Zone Development Study between October 2006 to 2007.

 

Some of the several training, conferences, and workshops attended by Engr Sode during his public service included:

NAFDAC courageously confiscates cartons of Crusader soap containing mercury.... but continues to ignore mercury in childhood vaccines!

 

It ought to have been cheering news, the blaring headlines reporting NAFDAC’s seizure of “4,000 cartons of banned Crusader soap containing mercury”. (e.g. Guardian 16^th Sept:

https://guardian.ng/news/nafdac-seizes-4000-cartons-of-banned-crusader-soap-containing-mercury/).

 

Addressing a press briefing at the Agency’s Office Complex in Lagos, DG NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye reported that the “raid which was carried out on August 4, 2023, resulted in the seizure of three trailer-loads of the soap, which amounted to 4,000 cartons by 12 packs by 12-tablet soap.”  The street value of the products is approximately N1 billion.

 

However, this seems to be just a tip of the iceberg.  According to the DG, one particular syndicate alone, using forged customs documents,  had in 2021 alone, imported into the country seven consignments of “not less than three containers with 4,500 cartons of the soap…(which)  have found their way into various supermarkets and cosmetics shops with unsuspecting members of the public patronising them.”

 

As reported by the Guardian, Prof Adeyeye further “noted that mercury is a serious health hazard and can cause damage to the skin, eyes, ears, brain, kidney and the nervous system, adding that the presence of mercury in cosmetics is of global concern because of the established and documented health hazards it poses to human health and to the environment.”

 

Nice job, NAFDAC! Mercury applied externally to the skin, might indeed find its way into the body posing serious health hazard, particularly to babies in the womb.  That is why it remains totally perplexing to see the same NAFDAC not only closing her eye to the continuing administration of mercury-containing vaccines directly into the blood of our babies in Nigeria, but actually DEFENDING it!

 

This is one of the major fall-outs from the 7^th National Conference on Environment and Health last year.  After a widely-publicized initial reaction to some (really inconsequential) inaccuracies in the news reportage on the Communique of that Conference, NAFDAC has kept mute to our subsequent clarification.  While we understand NAFDAC’s difficult position in confronting an issue imposed on Nigeria by powerful globalist forces long before the establishment of that Agency, it is saddening that the media houses that widely carried NAFDAC’s initial rebuttal could not find the courage to ask for her comments on our subsequent clarification.  Even when they know that they and their own family members could very well be the victims of this matter if left unaddressed! 

 

Our Response to NAFDAC’s press release was sent to virtually all the 40 or so media houses that had carried NAFDAC’s release.  Only a few had the courage to even publish it!  You can read that Response on http://blog.lsfnigeria.org/2022/11/response-to-nafdacs-statement-on-use-of-mercury-containing-childhood-vaccines-in-nigeria/   Here’s how it began:

 

Summary: NAFDAC’s current regulations will not permit in a body lotion, the level and form of mercury it claims to be harmless in some vaccines being administered to children.

Copious news reports have brought to our attention a Press Release  issued by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on 24^th October, 2022.  The Release attempts to underplay the indisputable fact that vaccines, in formats long-proscribed in the developed nations, on safety considerations, are still being shipped to Nigeria for use in our children.

List of Islam-inspired Terror in Nigeria Quarter 3 2023

Welcome into the last quarter for 2023! 

As usual, we have collated a list of Islam-inspired terror in Nigeria for the last quarter.  The list is extracted from  The Religion of Peace (TROP) website: [https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=2023]. 

In the past quarter between July 2 and Sept 27 2023 Three hundred and Fifty-eight  (358) people were killed by Islamic Jihadists in 55 attacks in Nigeria. One hundred and Fifty-four others sustained various degrees of injuries, but managed to survive these attacks. 

The Church needs to keep in mind the reality that these attacks are still ongoing, and continue to pray for our persecuted brethren in particular, and the peace of Nigeria in general.  It should be noted that the victims cut across various religious affiliations, but all the villains claim to be inspired by Islam.
