Get ready for your 4th shot in a year people

Oh look Marvels Omicron is going to make Big Pharma even more money…

By Dark Politricks 

Yes you got it right, the evil Marvel character, Omicron, who is also a COIVD mutation that is 80% less likely to send anyone to hospital, is going to require extra measures which could involve yet another shot. I bet Big Pharma is licking it’s lips at the thought of extra jabs and more money.

Despite many doctors concluding that this mutation has symptoms indistinguishable from a common cold. It’s being used to scare us into more lockdowns after Christmas as the Government closes more businesses and let’s more people go mental stuck at home. 

You can watch this Doctor talk about the symptoms and how they could be linked to a common cold. Apparently there are only 65 people in UK’s hospitals with Omicron at the moment. It is more transmissible but less severe to other variants.

It’s yet more money for Big Pharma as they push for their over priced, 4th injections to fight off this milder virus mutation. I bet next year they will force through mandates or social pressure not to “Kill Grandma”, many more people to get another 3 jabs. 

I will be interested to see how many nurses and doctors fight them after many got the virus over the last 2 years anyway, and now have natural immunity to the virus which is the best sort due to the leaky vaccines.

Any vaccine that is this leaky you can still catch and spread the virus despite being vaccinated 3 times against it should have questions raised about whether these vaccines were intentionally made to be so crap we needed to keep taking them instead of good old style vaccines where we have a shot or two as kids and then no more are needed throughout our lives. 

If you had 3 Polio injections in a year and still got Polio, wouldn’t you be asking questions about Big Pharma’s intentions. Remember these are not good guys. Just to rattle off a few of Big Pharma’s greatest hits…

Phizer has the enviable position of being the company who has the record for biggest fine from the US DOJ. In the largest health care fraud settlement in history, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer had to pay $2.3 billion to resolve felony criminal and civil charges that it illegally promoted the use of four of its drugs.

We also have Bayer who has another great achievement of being the company that invented Heroin, and sold it to the masses as a “non addictive” cough syrup. Using the name heroin, as it was “heroic” and seemed to cure every disease. Well I guess when you are that monged out, a runny nose and a cough doesn’t seem as bad.

Big Pharma corporate greed was also the cause of the Opioid crisis in the USA. People given strong opioids like Fentanyl for pain, and then when removed from the drug they switched to illegal substitutes. 

“The opioid epidemic has claimed more than 300,000 lives in the United States since 2001 and could claim another half million over the next decade. Although heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl account for an increasing proportion of opioid-involved overdoses, the majority of persons with opioid addiction started with prescribed painkillers.“

Plus the medical industry as a whole doesn’t have a good record, allowing doctors to be used to promote smoking in advertisements, with even the catch phrase “Doctor Recommended”  on some brands.  They also pushed “Mothers Little Helpers” or barbiturates, to calm mothers down in the 50’s, before realising they were addictive and swapping to another addictive replacement drug, benzodiazepines like Valium.

Then we had the SSRI, Prozac push in the latter decades of the 20th century, with links to suicidal behaviour and many people claiming the mass school gun shootings during that era had a link with kids hooked on these mind altering “anti depressants”. Yes anti-depressants that say in their list of side effects that suicidal thoughts are a common effect from taking the drug, just wants to make you rush out and get some if your feeling down doesn’t it?

You can read some more about the “Sickening” acts Big Pharma have committed from pushing up the price of cheap drugs to make a profit, and deceiving doctors about the safety of the drugs they prescribe at Counterpunch.

So are we going to see another shut down of the economy for what seems like the mildest variant of the virus so far. If the exponential rate of catching the virus continues the whole country should get it by the end of the month. If so we should all have herd immunity and better anti-bodies to fight off the virus than having more shots of leaky vaccines.

In the US, many people you would think would be jumping to get the shot such as nurses, soldiers, fire fighters and police are all refusing the mandates to take it by the Federal Government, and many are on strike or are losing their jobs due to not wanting to be forced to take a new untested (long term), RNA vaccine, that we are basically the test subjects for, with thousands of side effects being reported across the globe. 

It’s very nice Big Pharma managed to take Government money to make the vaccines, get a “get out of jail free card” in the case of complications, and then the ability to charge up to 40 times the cost of making the vaccine back to the Government who funded it from YOUR tax money, they get a good deal don’t they?

You pay for the vaccines, the Government forces you to have them or you lose your job or you take one and get a side effect like myself, and I am no anti-vaxxer, just one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have had severe side effects from taking the shot. Over 400,000 in the USA alone have had some sort of adverse re-action from the vaccine they paid for and cannot sue the company who is milking the government for forcing you to take it.

So is this really the right way to go, forcing people to take a vaccine that could cause them severe adverse effects, or face losing their job? Morality or Money it seems to be? 

Super colds & flus are spreading all around the country due to people sterilising themselves over the last 2 years so that their immune systems can’t fight anything off, no wonder people will be susceptible to Marvels new super villain. 

I bet most people with these super colds get marked down as COVID victims due to our miss-counting of real victims, which has been so bad determining who actually died of the virus and NOT underlying conditions, or people who went to hospital for something else and then caught the virus whilst staying there. Maybe if they were lucky to survive the nurses will have done one of another thousand perfectly rehearsed TikTok dances for them. They seem to have the time to get the moves right for some reason.

Also if all stats are correct on the new mutations exponential rate of infection, everyone in the country will have had it by the 1st of January anyway, giving anyone not killed from it proper immunity from the antibodies. 

I think when we are getting to 4 shots in 365 days, you have to start asking questions about the vaccines. Is it just Big Pharma scaring people to make more £$£$£ from the pandemic where it seems like every mutation is getting milder yet more contagious. 

Health advisors from Norway to South Africa say is the best outcome as the disease will die out once herd immunity is achieved. From the Guardian:  

“COVID live: fourth vaccine dose ‘could be needed against Omicron’; not enough data on severity, says WHO Latest updates: German health minister says ‘offensive booster campaign’ needed to fight variant; WHO official says it is too early to draw conclusions on severity; WHO’s Europe chief says ‘another storm coming’ as Omicron takes hold AstraZeneca aims to produce Omicron-targeted vaccine with Oxford.”

I bet Bill Gates is milking himself at all the money he will be making. He did publicly state that the best investment he had ever found was in vaccines, saying that “vaccines are phenomenal profit makers, with more than a 20-to-1 return.” 

No wonder he stopped Oxford from doing a good humanitarian act of giving our UK vaccine away free to other countries, some who have not had any of the vaccines promised to them by the rich countries who can afford them. 

From his statements it is no surprise that Bill Gates wanted AstraZeneca to patent our vaccine so he and his friends in the know could make more billions as the biggest transfer of wealth from the poorest to wealthiest 1% of 1% in history has taken place over the last 2 years. 

The Great Barrington Declaration (1000’s of scientists) who signed on to a different plan of action which was devised by top virologists from Oxford to top US universities didn’t want to close the economy, cause massive debt and job losses, major rises in mental health and deaths of despair (suicide, drugs, alcohol etc), and Dr Fauci, when he saw this declaration he and his NIS friends got right down to smearing these scientists ASAP. 

Instead of having a debate it was his way or the highway. Director Dr. Francis Collins emailed Dr. Fauci to urge a “quick and devastating published takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration authored by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Dr. Sunetra Gupta and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. 

So as we move into a new 2 tier society I think people need to realise what Western Governments have used the COVID crisis as cover to do, Australia has seemingly gone mad, drunk with power, locking people up in concentration camps even if they go near someone with COVID despite not having it. 

Thank god I don’t have that tracer app on my phone, its just a government tracker, and now Swedish inventors have come up with a microchip that can be implanted under the skin to show you COVID status as well as other ID info.  Alex Jones you were right all along, religious people, the mark of the beast is coming…

However whatever your beliefs, we are living in a very scary time for privacy, personal freedom and the right to say what you want and put in your body what you want. If that doesn’t scare you then you need to read some history books about the beginning part of the 20th century to get some context.

How Life Before COVID19 Will Never Return To Normal…

By Dark Politricks

This is an interesting video from Richard Dolan. Since the pandemic started I have been saying that we won’t be going back to a life anywhere near normal, even the mutated versions of the virus are all squashed somehow.

Not everyone WILL or WILL BE ALLOWED to get the vaccine, so don’t expect that to stop the spread of the virus. I saw a doctor swab a piece of fruit with the COVID19 test the other day and it turn positive so I have little faith in rushed out medical solutions.

I have thought for a long time that when AI became so good that it could create it’s own simulated realities, that virtual reality would be the place that most of us “useless eaters” would survive and live. Only being able to socialise and meet partners of the opposite sex in a VR world because the globalists had turned the real world into China, using super AI computers to control our movements, our cash flow and our ability to meet up and travel anywhere.

You only have to look at China’s social credit system to see how well they have been at creating a system to control over a billion people. It truly is a modern marvel if you think that having your life controlled by computers is a marvel.

However they manage to keep most of their population in line with their social credit system and the rest, well they are working in slave labour camps, being “re-educated”, or having their organs removed for rich elitists to purchase.

This is a video by Richard Dolan, whose own mother has just died due to COVID19 related problems. Therefore he is no “denier” of the disease but he does see how society has changed for the worse because of it and worries about our future life on this planet.

In it he talks about the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Great Reset, and how AI computers are so sophisticated nowadays that with only a few hours of being given the rules to the most complicated game on earth, GO, where there are more positions on the board than the known number of atoms in the observable universe, approximately 2.1 × 10¹⁷⁰. The computer can easily beat the best human players of the game in the world, and even the best AI computer built to beat the best human Chess players on the planet.

With AI computers as sophisticated as this, who can learn, and then teach themselves with calculations of millions of processes per second, can you really believe the authorities would not want to use such creations in their control of humanity? 

Just remember if you believe the Government is there to help you then you don’t know history.

Have a watch and think to yourself if you can honestly say that at the end of this year you will all be celebrating Christmas with your families, and drinking down the pubs with your mates as you did in 2019.

Let me know what you think of the video.

CDC Article Admits Virus Is Computer Generated

CDC Article Admits COVID19 Is Computer Generated

By Dark Politricks

As YouTube and Google, Facebook, Twitter and the Silicon Valley Nexus crack down on free speech and views that they find “unpalatable” or describe as “hate speech” and block, ban, de-monetize or de-rank if not totally obliterate your site. 

 

New sites are springing up for people wanting to hear news about controversial topics on their own terms. Make your own mind up if you find the contents in the video are “fake news” or just news the authorities don’t want you to hear.

 

One of these new sites if you haven’t been on it yet is “Brand New Tube“, a YouTube like site that won’t de-rank or censor videos on topics that the Silicon Valley / Government nexus don’t want you to hear about and think about 

 

This video is from David Icke about the Coronavirus. I do like one statement made by the presenter who said that the news is scaring people with news that “Manchester Hospital is at COVID19 full capacity“, however that is only the number of beds they have assigned for the virus – 8. So if 8 people have COVID19 and take those 8 beds up the news will then scare you with talk about how the hospital is at “full capacity“.

 

Whatever you think of David Icke, COVID19 and theories surrounding the virus about how it is being used to destroy the economy you might as well listen to this video as it’s the first one I have embedded from www.brandnewtube.com.

 

It looks at how computer models have been used to define what “COVID19” actually is, and how kids who are exempt from wearing masks are now being force fed “fashion masks” with “no medical benefits” to get them wearing masks.

 

Also before listening remember that UK Government Ministers and doctors have admitted that no-one can recover from COVID19.

 

A one Dr Loke said the way Public Health England collects data means “no-one with COVID in England is allowed to recover from their illness”.

 

“A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a COVID death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later” 

 

That means I can get COVID19, as defined by ? and then recover, before weeks later drunkenly stumble across the road and get run over by a car means I am not put under the death list for “stupid drunk people”, but another COVID19 death statistic instead. You can see some comparisons between Cancer Deaths, Heart Disease Deaths and COVID19 deaths on my earlier article.

 

These are all serious health conditions that are all being ignored due to Coronavirus. People that need treatment for serious health problems that all have higher death figures than COVID19. How many more people will die from missed operations, and treatments that have been put off due to the COVID19 panic and lock down.

 

That’s not even to mention the Track and Trace apps the Government is pushing on people which is basically being used by Police to track people of interest and see where they go and who they associate with.

 

Brand New Tube are new and sometimes have issues with embedding videos so just click the link underneath if the video is not shown.

Watch the video on Brand New Tube – Embedding Prevented!  

Let me know what you think of the views put out in the video and go and have a look at Brand New Tube and see if there are any topics you have been hidden from viewing on YouTube.com and Facebook.

Was a Cancer inducing weapon used to kill Hugo Chavez

Was a Cancer inducing weapon used to kill Hugo Chavez

By Dark Politricks

Hugo Chavez has just died and rumours run around that the CIA killed him using a cancer weapon.

This doesn’t sound as mad as it seems. Viruses and inflammation are the cause of most serious illnesses including heart attacks and cancer. The CIA and it’s allies in other agencies like the Mossad have a long history of trying to kill their enemies in exotic means.

Who can forget the famous story of the exploding cigar that was supposed to kill Fidel Castro as well as all the other failures including poisoned wetsuits and milkshakes.

We also have many reports from the battlefields of Iraq of new secret weaponry being used on the “enemy” that included microwaving people from the inside out.

In fact these new “energy weapons” that use electromagnetic waves to cause depression and other illnesses have been used frequently in the war as this snippet from http://rense.com shows.

Microwaving Iraq

The Gulf War veteran observes that occupied Iraq has become a “saturation environment” of electromagnetic radiation. Potentially lethal electromagnetic smog from high-power US military electronics and experimental beam weapons is placing already hard-hit local populations-particularly children — at even higher risk of experiencing serious illness, suicidal depression, impaired cognitive ability, even death.

Therefore if these are weapons that we know of just imagine what weapons the USA and their allies have that we haven’t a clue about.

Here is a report from PrisonPlanet.com TV about the plots concerning Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro and include the two leaders discussing the possibility of the CIA killing each of them with injections and even cancer spreading poisons.

So the possibility exists that the American’s do posses a weapon on such lines and it is an odd occurrence that 6 leaders of South American countries who all stood in alliance against US hegemony developed cancer within recent years.

Who can forget the killing of ex FSB and KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko by the Russians with a cancer causing radioactive element  polonium-210 not long back. Therefore these types of weapons do exist and the possibility cannot be ruled out however wild you might thing the conspiracy theory is,

However despite any theory or proof to the otherwise I want to pay my own respects to Hugo Chavez for his “balls” and nothing else. He may have given his people free health care paid for from the countries energy exports and he may have done many other good things for his people that some may find “socialist” and despise purely for that reason alone.

However I respected him for standing up to the US wanting to dominate the world and not caring who knew about his feelings.

Who can forget the time he gave President Obama a book on the concsequences of European colonization of Southern America within the last 500 years titled “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent“.

Whether you loved or hated him he was a dominant figure in South American politics and when he offered aid to the victims of Katrina when George W Bush was too busy to visit and delivered cheap oil to the Bronx during their cold winter he gained my respect at the detriment of the US president.

However despite his death I am reluctant to take Hugo Chavez off my “Good Guys” list and for that reason alone I am re-showing one of his famous rants against America, US dominance and the fact he dared call the leader of the USA a donkey and a drunk!

Recent Methadrone deaths show UK Laws are out of date

By Dark Politricks

You may have heard in the news this week that two teenagers in the UK died after a night out which involved using the legal drug Methadrone (M-CAT or miaw miaw). Even though their deaths have not been conclusively linked to the drug the media has once again gone into hyper-drive raising a moral panic almost on the levels of the Acid House parties in the late 80’s.

The two teenagers had apparently not only taken M-CAT but also had been drinking to the early hours as well as taking the heroin substitute Methadone to come down on. Even though the cause of death is more likely to be down to the mixture of drugs especially the dangerous combination of alcohol and opiates the media is behaving like judge and jury and M-CAT has already been found guilty.

There are already cries to ban this currently legal drug which is being sold quite openly as “plant food” openly in shops and on the Internet. Similar in chemical composition to Khat and in behaviour to ecstasy and amphetamines it is just the latest in a line of synthetic drugs created by clever chemists who keep one step ahead of Britain’s antiquated drug laws by changing the chemical signatures ever so slightly as soon as the last product is banned.

We are living in a hypocritical society that allows the worst drugs in terms of deaths to be sold perfectly legally but others that kill minuscule numbers are prohibited. Cigarettes kill over 100,000 people a year and alcohol kills almost the same amount through disease, assaults, accidents and road deaths.  Drugs such as amphetamines and opiates are used in medicine all the time and even ecstasy was used by psychiatrists in the past but how dare anyone decide to take the same drugs for recreational purposes.

People have been taking mind altering substances for thousands of years and will carry on taking them whether they are illegal or not. Prohibition has never worked and only leads to immense profits for drug dealers and deaths due to impurities in the products. If the media has their way and M-CAT is added to the long list of proscribed narcotics then within a month or two another synthetic drug will be on the market to take its place.

As I have previously said we need a totally new approach to drug use in which users are not criminals to be arrested and locked up at great expense. A regulated drug industry could be just what the country needs at the moment as the tax revenue received by taxing products currently used by millions every day would surely help pay off our national deficit.

Addicts should be prescribed their fix by doctors just as they were before 1973 as we have surely proved that trying to treat drug abuse by locking people up in prison hasn’t worked at all. Not only would crime rates fall and addicts get help more easily, the country would benefit through lower insurance premiums and a large proportion of the police force would be freed up to concentrate on serious crime.

The right wing media wouldn’t like it and there would surely be a moral panic generated by the press but if the problem of drugs is ever going to be tackled once and for all then this is the only logical way.  We are currently being governed by children of the 60’s and 70’s who were the first modern generation to properly rebel against the rules that said drugs were bad. Hopefully with the raver generations from the 80’s and 90’s maturing the time will come when the critical mass of right thinking citizens is such that a brave political move to legalise and regulate would not cause the outcry it once would. Hopefully that time is not too far away for just like the war on terror the war on drugs cannot be won by conventional means.

Cell Phones Cause Brain Cancer, Scientists Warn

David Gutierrez
Natural News
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

A report issued by the International Electromagnetic Field Collaborative and endorsed by 43 scientists from 13 countries has reviewed the evidence linking cell phone use to brain tumors, and refuting the methodology of a forthcoming industry-funded study expected to give the phones a clean bill of health.

“I fear we will see a tsunami of brain tumors, although it is too early to see that now since the tumors have a 30-year latency,” study author Lloyd Morgan said. “I pray I’m wrong, but brace yourself.”

Among the research cited in the study was a recent study by a Swedish team of scientists that found a 420 percent higher risk of brain cancer among people who had started using cellular or cordless phones as teenagers. Older analog phones, which are now mostly off the market, had been found to increase cancer risk by 700 percent.

Because children are especially vulnerable to radiation, the report recommends that parents not allow their children under the age of 18 to use mobile phones except in emergencies, or to sleep with cellular phones under their pillows. It recommends using corded land lines whenever possible, and using cellular phones mostly as answering machines, turning them on only to check messages and return calls. Use of cell phones inside buildings or in cars increases cancer risk, as it increases the radiation a phone must emit to function. Use of text messages and non-wireless headsets can reduce cancer risk. The report also advises against carrying cell phones against the body, even in pockets.

“Some countries are already banning cell phones over health concerns, with France saying children in elementary schools can only use them for texting,” Morgan said.

The report also sets out 11 flaws in the forthcoming Interphone study, a study on cell phones and health being prepared by the wireless industry in 13 different countries. These flaws include the exclusion of non-cellular cordless phones (which also emit radiation), children and young adults (the most vulnerable demographics) from the study, the exclusion of certain types of tumors, and the exclusion of participants who died or were too sick to answer questions.

Was swine flu ever a real threat?

Mark Honigsbaum
London Telegraph
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

With one scientist alleging a World Health Organization ‘conspiracy’ that was a bonanza for drug firms, Mark Honigsbaum asks if H1N1 could have been handled differently.

It’s been a good week for drug companies and an even better one for conspiracy theorists. Last Tuesday, angered by the bumper rise in profits being reported by vaccine manufacturers as the incidence of swine flu plummets, the former head of health at the Council for Europe accused the World Health Organization of “faking” the pandemic.

“It looks like the WHO is under the influence of industry,” Dr Wolfgang Wodarg told a hearing in Strasbourg. “It was stated in panic-stricken terms that this was a flu that could threaten humanity. This is why billions of medications were bought.”

Exhibit number one, says Dr Wodarg, is the WHO’s decision to soften its definition of a pandemic last April, shortly before the emergence of the H1N1 virus. By eliminating the requirement that influenza pandemics should cause “enormous morbidity and death”, the WHO provoked an unnecessary “scare” that conveniently triggered the activation of “sleeping” contracts with vaccine manufacturers. Yet since the WHO’s declaration of a pandemic in June, swine flu has caused just 14,000 deaths worldwide – a fraction of the number who die from seasonal flu every year. This month, the Department of Health reported that cases had fallen to such a low rate that it was cancelling its weekly press briefings.

British mother Sterilized in ten-minute operation on the NHS

UK Daily Mail
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

A mother has become one of the first people in the country to be sterilised in a ten-minute NHS operation dubbed the female vasectomy.

Businesswoman Maxine White, 41, who has four children and decided her family was complete, opted for the procedure as she did not want to take time off work.

The Essure procedure meant she was able to have the operation in hospital and go home within hours.

Miss White, of Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, said: ‘I think it is a great step forward for women who have had their families. It is just as easy as a vasectomy is for men.’

Gyenacologist Nagui Aziz, from the Royal Oldham Hospital, used a catheter to pass tiny inserts into her body and block her fallopian tubes.

It's Time to Retire Fluoridation

OpEdNews
Sally Stride

Fluoridation – No Benefit – Definite Risks

New York – January 25, 2010 — Sixty-five years ago, sodium fluoride powder was slowly poured into Grand Rapids, Michigan’s public water supply to see if drinking fluoridated water (fluoridation) really safely reduced children’s tooth decay. Nearby Muskegon was left fluoridation-free, for only 5 years, as the experiment’s control city for comparison purposes even though evaluations were made after 15 years.

(1) Before then, sodium fluoride was mainly used as a rat poison. The study failed and was seriously flawed; but early over-zealous fluoridationists ignored this inconvenient truth.

(2) Fluoridation was declared a success, anywayand spread across the country and the world based on positive-spun PR but invalid science.

So what’s happening today? Grand Rapids children have high rates of tooth decay and fluoride overdose – dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted enamel.

(3) According to the Grand Rapids Press, one pediatric dentist said in 2007 “…we see children under the age of 2 with active decay…Rather than just a few cavities, we’re seeing a lot of cavities. It’s not unusual to see a child with 8 to 10 cavities.”

(4) Despite 65 years of water fluoridation reaching 70% of Americans in public water supplies and virtually 100% via the food supply and despite 55 years of fluoridated toothpaste, tooth decay has increased in our most fluoridated population – toddlers – and UNtreated tooth decay has risen, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

(5) Incredibly, American children have died from the consequences of untreated tooth decay. (5a) with up to 48% of US school children now sporting dental fluorosis, according to the CDC.

Today sodium fluoride is purchased from China and something’s wrong with it. Water engineers complain it’s clogging up their systems.

(6) Fluoridation opposition is scientific, respectable and growing.

Over 2,700 professionals urge the US Congress to stop water fluoridation until Congressional hearings are conducted, citing scientific evidence that fluoridation, long promoted to fight tooth decay, is ineffective and has serious health risks. See statement click here

Also, eleven Environmental Protection Agency employee unions representing over 7,000 environmental and public health professionals called for a moratorium on drinking water fluoridation programs across the country, and have asked EPA management to recognize fluoride as posing a serious risk of causing cancer in people.

Approximately, 80 US communities rejected fluoridation in 2008 and 2009.

New study: a common flame retardant causes infertility

S. L. Baker
Natural News
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

So many US women have difficulty becoming pregnant that the fertility industry has become a huge business, raking in between three and five billion dollars a year. Now a new study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives raises the possibility that a lot of women who can’t have babies could have flame retardant chemicals to blame — specifically, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are commonly found in an alarming number of household consumer products.

In a study involving over 200 women, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley) discovered that women with higher blood concentrations of PBDEs took far longer to become pregnant than those with low amounts of the chemicals in their blood. In fact, for every ten-fold increase in blood levels of four PBDE chemicals tested, there was a 30 percent decrease in the odds a woman would conceive a child during a month.

“There have been numerous animal studies that have found a range of health effects from exposure to PBDEs, but very little research has been done in humans. This latest paper is the first to address the impact on human fertility, and the results are surprisingly strong. These findings need to be replicated, but they have important implications for regulators,” the study’s lead author, Kim Harley, said in a statement to the media. Harley is an adjunct assistant professor of maternal and child health and associate director of the Center for Children’s Environmental Health Research at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health.

PBDEs are a class of organobromine compounds found in foam furniture, electronics, fabrics, carpets, plastics and other common household items. They were commonly added to these and other products as flame retardants after the 1970s when new fire safety standards were implemented in the US.

So how big is the problem of homes contaminated by PBDEs? Unfortunately, it appears to be huge. The chemicals are known to leach out into the environment and accumulate in human fat cells. Previous studies have suggested that 97 percent of U.S. residents have detectable levels of PBDEs in their blood and that the levels in Americans are 20 times higher than in their counterparts in Europe.

The most prevalent form of PBDEs found in the blood of women participating in the UC Berkeley study were from a specific formulation known as a pentaBDE mixture. Both this kind of PBDE and another type, octaBDE, have been banned for use in several states — but they are still widely found in products manufactured before 2004.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finally got around to addressing the danger of PBDEs at the end of 2009. Did the agency issue an urgent alarm about products containing the chemicals — even ban them outright to protect consumers? No. Instead, the EPA quietly announced an agreement with three major manufacturers of some forms of PBDEs to phase out production by 2013. Unfortunately, this is clearly too little too late to protect countless Americans from the potential danger of these contaminants.

“Although several types of PBDEs are being phased out in the United States, our exposure to the flame retardants is likely to continue for many years,” said the study’s principal investigator, Brenda Eskenazi, UC Berkeley professor of epidemiology and of maternal and child health at the School of Public Health. “PBDEs are present in many consumer products, and we know they leach out into our homes. In our research, we have found that low-income children in California are exposed to very high levels of PBDEs, and this has us concerned about the next generation of Californians.”

What’s more, the scientists pointed out in the press statement that there’s reason to be concerned about additional chemical contaminants in the immediate future. True, PBDEs are being phased out from consumer products — but they are being replaced with other potentially toxic compounds. “We know even less about the newer flame retardant chemicals that are coming out,” said Dr. Harley. “We just don’t have the human studies yet to show that they are safe.”
