UNICEF Nigerian Polio Vaccine
Contaminated with
Sterilizing Agents, Scientist Finds
Scientist says things
discovered in vaccines are “harmful, toxic”

KADUNA, Nigeria, March 11, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- A UNICEF campaign to vaccinate Nigeria’s youth against polio
may have been a front for sterilizing the nation. Dr. Haruna Kaita,
a pharmaceutical scientist and Dean of the Faculty of
Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, took
samples of the vaccine to labs in India for analysis.
Using WHO-recommended technologies
like Gas Chromatography (GC) and Radio-Immuno assay, Dr. Kaita,
upon analysis, found evidence of serious contamination. “Some of
the things we discovered in the vaccines are harmful, toxic; some
have direct effects on the human reproductive system,” he said
in an interview with Kaduna’s Weekly Trust. “I and some other
professional colleagues who are Indians who were in the Lab could
not believe the discovery,” he said.
A Nigerian government doctor tried
to persuade Dr. Kaita that the contaminants would have no bearing
on human reproduction. “…I was surprised when one of the
federal government doctors was telling me something contrary to
what I have learned, studied, taught and is the common knowledge
of all pharmaceutical scientists—that estrogen cannot induce an
anti-fertility response in humans,” he said. “I found that
argument very disturbing and ridiculous.”
When asked by the Trust why Dr.
Kaita felt the drug manufacturers would have contaminated the Oral
Polio Vaccine, he gave three reasons: “These manufacturers or
promoters of these harmful things have a secret agenda which only
further research can reveal. Secondly they have always taken us in
the third world for granted, thinking we don’t have the capacity,
knowledge and equipment to conduct tests that would reveal such
contaminants. And very unfortunately they also have people to
defend their atrocities within our mist, and worst still some of
these are supposed to be our own professionals who we rely on to
protect our interests.”
Dr. Kaita is demanding that
“those who imported this fake drug in the name of Polio Vaccines…be
prosecuted like any other criminal.”
The campaign to rid Nigeria of
polio is in its fourth year. Officials there claim that all
contaminated vaccines have been exhausted and replaced by
uncontaminated batches.
In a rhetorical conclusion to the
interview, Dr. Kaita asked “What plans has the government put in
place to help children who have been given these toxic and
contaminated vaccines in case they start reacting to them?”
This is not the first time UNICEF
has been embroiled in a controversy over sterilizing agents in
vaccines. LifeSiteNews.com reported that in 1995, the Catholic
Women’s League of the Philippines won a court order halting a
UNICEF anti-tetanus program because the vaccine had been laced
with B-hCG, which when given in a vaccine permanently causes women
to be unable to sustain a pregnancy. The Supreme Court of the
Philippines found the surreptitious sterilization program had
already vaccinated three million women, aged 12 to 45. B-hCG-laced
vaccine was also found in at least four other developing countries.
