In 1993, WHO announced
a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by
1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy
hormones to be attacked by the immune system. Expected results are abortions in
females already pregnant and/or infertility in recipients not yet impregnated. Repeated
inoculations prolong infertility. Currently WHO researchers are working on more
potent anti-fertility vaccines using recombinant DNA. WHO publications show a long-range
purpose to reduce population growth in unstable “less developed countries”. By November
1993 Catholic publications appeared saying an abortifacient vaccine was being used
as a tetanus prophylactic. In November 2014, the Catholic
Church asserted that such a program was underway in Kenya. Three independent Nairobi
accredited biochemistry laboratories tested samples from vials of the WHO tetanus
vaccine being used in March 2014 and found hCG where none should be present. In
October 2014, 6 additional vials were obtained by Catholic doctors and were tested
in 6 accredited laboratories. Again, hCG was found in half the samples. Subsequently,
Nairobi’s AgriQ Quest laboratory, in two sets of analyses, again found hCG in the
same vaccine vials that tested positive earlier but found no hCG in 52 samples alleged by the WHO
to be vials of the vaccine used in the Kenya campaign 40 with
the same identifying batch numbers as the vials that tested positive for hCG. Given
that hCG was found in at least half the WHO vaccine samples known by the doctors
involved in administering the vaccines to have been used in Kenya, our opinion is
that the Kenya “anti-tetanus” campaign was reasonably called into question by the
Kenya Catholic Doctors Association as a front for population growth reduction.
