Now a Swedish Study Confirms a 4 Fold Increase in Narcolepsy With Pandemrix Flu Shot

**I think the moral of the story here is don't subject yourself or your children to this vaccination. I would argue any vaccination, but this is a good start. The benefits DO NOT outweigh the risks! The flu is preventable and treatable safely and naturally.**

A Swedish registry based cohort study provides strengthened evidence of an association between vaccination with Pandemrix and narcolepsy in children and adolescents

Tuesday, March 29, 2011


Results from a Swedish registry based cohort study indicate a 4-fold increased risk of narcolepsy in children and adolescents below the age of 20 vaccinated with Pandemrix, compared to children of the same age that were not vaccinated. The results are in line with those of a similar Finish registry study.

The Medical products Agency (MPA) has in co-operation with the healthcare regions of Skåne and Västra Götaland, the county councils of Östra Götaland and Stockholm and with the Karolinska Institutet performed a study of a possible relationship between vaccination with Pandemrix and the occurrence of narcolepsy.

All cases of diagnosed narcolepsy reported to the healthcare databases in these four regions between October 1st 2009 and December 31st 2010 have been linked to information in the regional vaccination databases. These four regions have around 5.3 million inhabitants, which corresponds roughly to 57 percent of the Swedish population. The vaccination coverage was on average 67 % for children and adolescents under the age of 20 and 51 % for adults.

The study shows a 4-fold increased risk for children and adolescents vaccinated with Pandemrix to be diagnosed with narcolepsy as compared with unvaccinated subjects (4,06 cases per 100 000 person years in vaccinated children/adolescents compared with 0,97 cases per 100 000 person years in unvaccinated). This risk would translate into an absolute risk of three cases of narcolepsy in 100 000 vaccinated children/adolescents. No increased risk was seen in adults.

Rise in sleep illness cases linked to swine-flu jab
Eight people now suffering from narcolepsy after getting vaccine
By JEROME REILLY EXCLUSIVE

Sunday March 27 2011

EIGHT Irish people who received the swine-flu vaccine have developed narcolepsy -- the potentially devastating ailment that causes sudden daytime sleep attacks, the Sunday Independent has learnt.

It means that the number of suspected cases of the debilitating sleeping disorder linked with one particular swine-flu vaccine in Ireland has doubled since the beginning of the month.

The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) said: "The IMB has received a large number of suspected adverse-reaction reports and queries in association with the pandemic-influenza vaccines since October 2009, the vast majority of which were consistent with the expected pattern of adverse events for the vaccines.

"Eight reports of narcolepsy-type sleep disorders have been notified in relation to Pandemrix, most of which have been very recently received and are currently being followed up for additional information."

Last August, the vaccination of children and adolescents in Finland with Pandemrix was suspended until a link to narcolepsy had either been ruled out or detected.

The Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare described the move as a precautionary measure.

Among the eight people in Ireland who have developed narcolepsy sleep disorders is a 10-year-girl from Co Meath who is now on medication to stop her suddenly falling asleep while she is at school.

This newspaper has learned that another young woman in her late teens, who suddenly began suffering from daytime sleep attacks after receiving the Pandemrix vaccine, suffered a nasty facial injury when she suddenly fell asleep while taking a shower.

At the time the young woman began developing symptoms, her worried family were convinced that she was fainting, such was the suddenness of the sleep attacks, which occur in seconds.

But now, following medical tests, the woman's condition has been confirmed as narcolepsy.

In Finland, health officials found evidence of an increased risk of the disorder -- in which people fall asleep without warning or sleep excessively in the daytime -- among those aged four to 19 years who had been given the Pandremrix vaccine.

The IMB said it was now collaborating with a number of other countries to carry out a review of all the available data and information.

Last month, the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) confirmed that it had reviewed further information from Finland on the suspected link between narcolepsy in children and adolescents and Pandemrix.

"The committee concluded that the new evidence added to the concern arising from case reports in Finland and Sweden, but that the data were still insufficient to establish a causal relationship between Pandemrix and narcolepsy.

"Further analyses and study results are awaited to clarify the observations in Finland."

In addition to the information coming from Finland, research is continuing in Sweden, where there has also been an unexpected number of narcolepsy reports following vaccination with Pandemrix.

In last month's statement, the CHMP said that other non-Nordic countries had not seen similar increased rates of reporting of narcolepsy.

That assessment may change in the light of the eight suspected cases that have been reported in Ireland of people who have received the Pandemrix vaccine and who have subsequently developed narcolepsy.

"Additionally, in Canada, where there has been substantial use of this type of vaccine, there has been no evidence of an increase in reports of narcolepsy.

"Therefore, at present, definitive conclusions cannot be drawn and no changes to the recommendations for use of Pandemrix are proposed," the European Medicines Agency said last month.

The precise cause of narcolepsy is unknown, but it is generally considered to be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The condition occurs naturally at a rate of around one case per 100,000 people every year.

Chinese Doctor believes his son was killed by an H1N1 Flu Vaccine

**I believe this case creates a bit of a conundrum for the CDC. They have a Doctor's son die directly from the H1N1 Flu vaccine and now the CDC is saying it didn't kill him but an overdose of steroids killed him. Hmmm..so now they are going to say that a doctor and father who had first hand knowledge of the damage caused by the shot and a father who treated his son for 33 days until his death doesn't know what he is talking about? The CDC is really in a tough situation but goes to the old 'this guy is crazy' tact when backed into a corner. They are basically painting this Doctor as a nutball and that will be how they marginalize this issue. Anyone with any dicernment and who has been following these types of cases can see right through this shell game and know that this vaccine killed this poor child.**

Doctor reiterates belief that H1N1 vaccine killed his son


The China Post news staff -- A doctor whose son died 33 days after receiving a H1N1 flu vaccine 15 months ago stressed disbelief yesterday over the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allegations that his son's death was not related with the vaccination.
Liu Jin-cheng, a doctor serving at a hospital in the Wuchi District of Taichung City, made the remarks at the 2011 National Epidemic Prevention Conference organized by the CDC under the Cabinet-level Department of Health (DOH).

Liu said he personally took care of his child in the 33 days after receiving the vaccination, and therefore very well knew the disease of the child. “Over the past 15 months, I haven't persuaded myself to believe that my son's death was caused by the parvovirus B19, rather than by the injection of H1N1 flu vaccine, as alleged by the CDC.”

At yesterday's conference, the doctor showed an official examination report issued by the U.S. health authority on the cause of his son's death, saying that there exist great discrepancy between the CDC and the U.S. health authority concerning the issue.

Liu also criticized the DOH's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) as having failed to take the same stance as the public on the H1N1 flu vaccination, making it difficult for the public to respond positively to the government's call to receive the vaccine.

In response, Su Yi-jen, former CDC director general and now Vice President of National Cheng Kung University Hospital, said that after the CDC laboratory found parvovirus B19 inside the body of Liu's child, he tried to inform prosecutors of the finding. But prosecutors asked him not to publicize the finding on grounds that the cause of death was still under investigation at the time.

Su said that he suspected the death of Liu's child to be associated with the use of a massive amount of steroid during the treatment process.

But Liu denied after the conference that his son received too much steroid.

At the conference, some participants called for the CDC to make well-rounded planning and preparations before kicking off flu vaccination campaigns in the future.

New Study Verifies Mercury In Flu Shots Is Toxic

** Yet another blow to the provaccine coalition with their beloved MERCURY being outed yet again as a toxic substance. It is the second most toxic element known to man behind Uranium if the truth must be told. Only those who drink the kook aid with regularity would argue that point. Even with this well known fact, the media, government and medical institutions are pushing mercury preserved flu shots on young children and pregnant women. If this isn't all you need to know to stop taking a flu shot, I don't know any other way to convince you. I would also like to point out that even though there are some 'mercury free' version of preservative based vaccines on the market, there is still residual amounts of mercury in the shots that is not able to be filtered out that is above the EPA's recommended limit for mercury exposure.**


SILVER SPRING, Md., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — CoMeD — Yet another peer-reviewed, scientific study proving the connection between the mercury in medicine and human illnesses has just been released. The latest study is the sixth one published in recent months. This report specifically examines the harm inflicted on developing fetuses and children by Thimerosal, a mercury-based compound routinely used as a preservative in flu shots.

Members of non-profit groups like the Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD) are actively sharing the latest scientific data about the dangers of medical mercury with the public, largely because they recognize that the mercury in Thimerosal is a factor in numerous childhood diseases.

Thimerosal is the Eli Lilly trade name for sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate when used as a preservative in vaccines and other drug products. It is also known as "Thiomersal" in Europe and "Merthiolate" when used as an antiseptic. Consisting of approximately 49.6% mercury by weight, Thimerosal has been phased out of many vaccines in the United States because of concerns about its "potential risk." However, it is still in most flu shots even though much safer, cost-effective alternatives are already being used.

Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) In Vaccines IS A Sterilization Agent

In a follow up to our previous story on the Tetanus Vaccination Sterilization agent HCG found here: Tetanus HCG Sterilization Agent

We are now going to focus on an "emulsifier" added to numerous vaccines which has numerous side effects associated with it like alergies, anaphylactic reactions, and Infertility! In one medical study done in Slovakia, female newborn rats were injected with Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80). These newborn female rats were injected with Polysorbate 80 at days 4 to 7 after birth. The researchers found that Polysorbate 80 accelerated the maturation of the female rats, damaged the vagina and womb lining, caused significant hormonal changes, severe ovary deformities and ultimately rendered the young female rats infertile.

For those conspiracy 'theorists' out there like myself, this sure looks like a semi-ingenious way to reduce population, no? Most people would have a hard time putting the fact that HPV vaccines have this sterilant in it because they receive it much earlier than when they would typically start a family. A couple of examples of vaccines with Polysorbate 80:
Gardasil Has Polysorbate 80
Fluarix Flu Vaccine Has Polysorbate 80 (specifically mentions that they cannot guarantee that the vaccine will not damage your fertility)


Meanwhile, the CDC is doctoring the numbers for how many miscarriages occured during the 2009/2010 Swine flu 'epidemic' as we first reported here: CDC Falsifies Reports

I know all of this sounds sooo far fetched and "our governments love us and would never hurt us", but take a look at this patent for a 'Fertility Imparing Vaccine' containing, none other than Polysorbate 80: Infertility Vaccine Patent

In the description section of the patent application, Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is listed as a preferred ingredient:

"In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil, in an amount of about 2.5% to about 15%, preferably about 8% to about 12%. In preparing the vaccine it is advantageous to combine a concentrated oily adjuvant composition with an aqueous solution of the antigen, pZP glycoprotein. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin (about 5% to about 15 % wt/vol, preferably about 12% wt/vol) and STDCM (preferably about 25 mg/mL to about 50 mg/mL) in squalene oil. The term % wt/vol means grams per 100 mL of liquid. The aqueous solution containing the isolated pZP glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80 (about 0.2% vol/vol to about 0.8% vol/vol, preferably about 0.4% vol/vol)."

In addition, the United Nations has this amazing write up on their website with the title: 'What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?' This is a must read for those out there that think our governments would never do such a thing.

Risk of Fits Prompts Ban of Four Flu Vaccines in Australia

**If only the rest of the world would be as proactive as Australia is in regard to the safety of these horrible flu vaccines. This report of 'fits' comes on the heels of up to 1 in 100 experiencing febrile convulsions and prompting the ban in Australia for 5 year olds and under. These vaccines do not work and have MANY health consequences. Avoid them at all costs for yourself and your children. There are many effective natural treatments for prevention of the Flu. Vitamin D3 has been found in clinical studies to be MORE EFFECTIVE than the Flu vaccine. Use it because there are no side effects. If you do come down with the flu, Colloidal Silver is absolutely wonderful. I recommend a silver hydrosol if you are interested.**

FOUR brands of flu vaccine have been banned for young children due to the risk of fits, in new Health Department advice for the start of the flu season.
Chief Medical Officer Jim Bishop has stepped up surveillance for side-effects from this year's flu jab, which will be made to the same formula that triggered a tenfold increase in febrile convulsions among young children last year.

"The events of last year illustrated the importance of monitoring vaccine usage in children," Professor Bishop wrote in a letter to doctors this week.

For the first time, doctors have been "asked", although not required, to notify the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register every time they vaccinate a child up to the age of seven years for the flu. Professor Bishop has also "encouraged" doctors to report any side-effects to the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Peter Collignon, professor of infectious diseases at the Australian National University, said yesterday children without underlying health problems should skip the flu jab this year.

"My own view is that for children and young adults who do not have a risk factor (from the flu), I would not be vaccinating for seasonal influenza because I don't think we have enough data on the safety," Professor Collignon said.

Sanofi Flu Vaccine 'FluZone' Associated With Rise In Febrile Seizures

**Just another in an ever expanding list of side effects with taking a flu shot.**

US probing seizures reported after Sanofi flu shot

WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. health officials are investigating a rise in reports of a type of seizure following vaccination with a Sanofi-Aventis SA (SASY.PA) (SNY.N) flu vaccine, the Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday.

The febrile seizures, or seizures related to a fever, have primarily been reported in children younger than 2, the FDA said in a statement on its website.

The FDA said 42 cases of febrile seizures had been reported as of Dec. 13 and it and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were investigating if they could have been caused by the vaccine, called Fluzone, or if other factors were involved, the FDA said

You are 9 times more likely to develop Narcolepsy if you got the Pandemerix Swine Flu shot

**For those out there that are still falling for this hoax perpetrated by the Pharmaceutical industry, how would you like to come down with the incredibly debilitating health issue of narcolepsy? Is it worth it? Is it worth your quality of life to get a shot that is being fearmongered to the masses for the sake of selling a dangerous vaccine? This is an absolute shame and one that should result in these drug companies paying excessive monetary damages to those that were harmed. But it won't because most countries have laws in place to protect them from any liability. What more reason do you need to not vaccinate other than the fact that it is a money driven industry that has no liability for what happens to you as a result of their products?**


Vaccine likely caused child narcolepsy

A preliminary study by Finland's National Institute for Health and Welfare shows children injected with the Pandemrix swine flu vaccine are nine times more likely to contract narcolepsy than those who were not vaccinated.

The institute says currently the most likely explanation is that the increase in narcolepsy is by joint effect of the vaccine and some other factors.

The institute stresses in its preliminary study that more investigation is needed, but says young people aged four to 19 have a manifold increased risk of falling ill with narcolepsy if they have been inoculated against swine flu with Pandemrix.

The European Medicines Agency has also launched an investigation into the suspected connection.

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder which causes extreme fatigue and often results in the patient falling soundly asleep without warning.

Under-fives will NOT be given flu jab despite explosion in cases
By Sophie Borland

Ministers last night rejected pleas to give the flu jab to the under-fives despite an explosion in cases in the past few days.
The latest figures show that an epidemic has now broken out among children under four and levels have reached a ten-year high.
But ministers and senior Government advisers last night ruled that the immunisation programme for those aged six months to five years – which was quietly cancelled earlier this year – would not have significant ‘gain’.
The decision came after the Government’s interim chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, held crisis talks with advisers from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation over whether the jab should be offered to under-fives.

Could vitamin D work better than influenza vaccine?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its flu message on its website on Oct 19 to promote use of influenza vaccine and get ready for the 2010-2011 flu season.

In the meantime, some medical researchers suggest people should take high doses of vitamin D in winter to have additional protection because flu vaccine is not as effective as thought.

The CDC said right now flu activity is low, but everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated even if they received a seasonal or 2009 H1N1 vaccine last year.

According to the agency, the influenza vaccine for 2010 to 2011 season has been updated to include three flu viruses including H1N1, which media reports have said will not be a pandemic in the near future to say the least.

Children, pregnant women, elderly people and those whose immunity such as HIV, cancer patients has been compromised are considered at high risk for flu complications.

At flu.gov, the first message that shows up on the website is for pregnant women. It says "Protect Yourself and Your Baby Get A flu shot." Flu.gov also reminds consumers that other measures like washing hands need to be taken to prevent influenza.

One important preventative measure, taking vitamin D3 to boost innate immunity against influenza, was not mentioned on both cdc.gov and flu.gov. Recent evidence is convincing that taking high doses of vitamin D can highly effectively prevent flu including H1N1 the swine flu.

Lapinsky S.E. in April, 2010 published a study in Critical Care Medicine saying that pregnant women and immunosupressed patients are at increased risk of severe A (H1N1) influenza.

To respond to Lapinsky's findings, Dr. William B. Grant, PhD, Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center (SUNARC) in San Francisco, CA and John J. Cannell, MD, The Vitamin D Council in San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 commented in the journal that the risk of influenza is linked to low serum vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D helps make antimicrobial peptides, which can prevent influenza viruses including H1N1. The role of vitamin D in innate immunity has been known for some time now, even though many people may not have heard of it.

Dr. Cannell said in his newsletter issued last year that two physicians, one in Wisconsin and the other in Georgia reported their observations that taking high doses of vitamin D in winter protected against H1N1 virus effectively.

According to Drs. Grant and Cannell, a Japanese trial has already demonstrated in a trial that children who took 1,200 IU per day of vitamin D3 and no additional vitamin D3 had their risk of influenza reduced by 64 percent.

One needs to know the efficacy of influenza vaccine to appreciate the protective effect of vitamin D reported in the Japanese study. Often, the effectiveness of influenza vaccine is likely no better than what vitamin D3 can provide as shown in the Japanese study.

High levels of serum vitamin D can help prevent other bacterial and viral infections, cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes in addition to influenza and pneumonia, Dr. Grant and dr. Cannell said in their comment.

Drs. Grant and Cannell said in their comment "pregnant women should be encouraged to increase their serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels to 40 to 80 ng/mL through supplementation with several thousand international units per day of vitamin D3 or solar ultraviolet-B when the sun is high enough that one’s shadow is shorter than one’s height."

It is generally advisable that no matter a person gets influenza vaccine or not, he should make sure to maintain sufficient levels of vitamin D to protect seasonal flu and H1N1 in any flu season. This is necessary because in most cases influenza vaccine does not work as effectively as thought.

Experts admit swine flu jab 'may cause' deadly nerve disease.

**Keep in mind that this years seasonal Flu Vaccine has the H1N1 virus strain in it, so it should be susceptible to the same issues because the governments have stressed that they are manufactured the same way.**

Health chiefs have for the first time acknowledged that the swine flu jab may be linked to an increased risk of developing a deadly nerve condition.

Experts are examining a pos­sible association between the controversial jab and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, according to a report from official watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Previously, the Government has always stressed there is no evidence to link the paralysing condition to the H1N1 vaccine.

After The Mail on Sunday revealed in August 2009 that doctors were being asked to monitor cases of GBS during the swine flu pandemic, a letter from the Health Protection Agency’s chief executive Justin McCracken stated: ‘There is no evidence to suggest an increased risk of GBS from the vaccines being developed to fight the current pandemic.’

Now the MHRA’s newly published report suggests the Government’s position has changed.

It says: ‘Given the uncer­tainties in the available information and as with seasonal flu vaccines, a slightly elevated risk of GBS following H1N1 vaccines cannot be ruled out. Epidemiological studies are ongoing to further assess this possible association.’

It is not known precisely what causes GBS but the condition attacks the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively.

It can cause partial paralysis and mostly affects the hands and feet – but it can be fatal.

Consumer Reports Flu Poll: Approximately Three Out of 10 Health Care Workers 'Living in a Bubble,' Not Getting Flu Vaccine

**Make SURE YOU get your Flu shot, but your doctor probably isn't going to follow that advice. Medical Professionals, traditionally, have hovered around the 40% mark for getting their flu shots. This is no surprise as they know that they 1) don't work and 2) have real health risks associated with them and 3) the flu is not that bad.**

YONKERS, N.Y., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new Consumer Reports Health poll reveals a disconcerting proportion of "at risk" groups who will not get the flu vaccine this year. Of most concern, only 40% of Americans in the "work risk" category—meaning those who care for young children and those who work in residential nursing homes, hospitals, and other health care environments—said they would definitely get the vaccine this year, which combines the seasonal and the 2009 H1N1 (swine) flus, while 28% said they would definitely not get the vaccine.

"It's troubling to hear that people caring for young children, including infants, and the elderly are not planning on getting the vaccine. These health care workers are among the most likely to catch the disease and spread it to individuals in their care. And it's no secret that small children and the elderly are at high risk for complications and even death," said Orly Avitzur, M.D., medical adviser, Consumer Reports Health. Poll highlights and guidance for flu and other vaccines are available online at www.ConsumerReportsHealth.org.

A flu jab too close for comfort

**In an all too familiar story, this article outlines the conflict of interest often seen in government health departments closely tied to the vaccine manufacturers.**

SHOULD health advisers also have links to drug companies?

JUST hours after a doctor jabbed Sharron Coppin's children with a world-first flu vaccine, her three-year-old daughter Alivia turned purple.

As Coppin raced the shivering Alivia to a Perth hospital emergency ward, her husband called an ambulance for their one-year-old twins, Byron and Lateesha, who had begun convulsing and vomiting at home.

Little did the panicked parents realise that the flu shot, provided free by West Australian health authorities, had never been tested in children through clinical trials.

"No one warned us this could happen," Coppin says of the febrile convulsions that afflicted one in every 110 Australian children injected with Fluvax, which combines three strains of seasonal and swine flu.

"I just took the doctor's word. And the doctor obviously trusted that the government had done all the testing. If I had known it hadn't been tested, I would never have let my kids be used as guinea pigs. I was trying to protect them, not put them in harm's way."

Coppin is flabbergasted to discover some of the federal Department of Health and Ageing's top immunisation advisers have links with the drug company that created the vaccine that landed her kids in hospital.


Flu Jab Conflict of Interest

Probe of suspected vaccine-narcolepsy link to take months (So let's give it to people anyway!)

**Anyone seeing a trend here? Vaccines = Teflon. Nothing Sticks to them and even if people are coming down with Narcolepsy in multiple countries, lets keep administering it until the 'studies' can be done. It should be exactly the opposite.**


The European Medicine Agency (EMA) said today it is not clear if there is any link between narcolepsy cases and the Pandemrix vaccine for 2009 H1N1 influenza, and it will take 3 to 6 months to investigate the possibility fully.

The EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that further studies are needed, the agency said in a news release. In the meantime, the panel agreed that there is no need to restrict the vaccine's use, as the benefit-risk balance continues to be positive.

The EMA launched a review of Pandemrix on Aug 27, in the wake of reports of narcolepsy in vaccinees, mainly from Sweden and Finland. The vaccine, which is made by GlaxoSmithKline and contains an adjuvant, was administered to 30.8 million Europeans during the H1N1 pandemic.

Safety Fears Over Vaccines

**Can anyone explain why there is such an uproar in Australia about the flu vaccine but in America it is being pushed on 6 months old infants and pregnant women?**

Australia's health authorities are failing to uphold the public safety of vaccines because of the confused and flawed monitoring of side effects, the Consumer Health Forum says.

In unusually outspoken criticism, the forum, which is funded by the federal government, has called for an urgent public explanation of why the CSL-produced Fluvax vaccine triggered a higher rate of hospital admissions than it prevented.

The forum's chief, Carol Bennett, writing in the Herald today, said the saga over Fluvax, which has been linked to 1000 adverse reactions, including 100 cases of convulsion in infants under five, pointed to the need for reform.

Side effects worse than the disease (Flu Vaccine)

**It seems the rest of the world is onto these vaccines as the majority of Americans keep their heads buried in the sand. What else is new?**


PUBLIC health experts have called for an independent body to monitor drug safety after it emerged that young children were more likely to end up in hospital because of side effects from a flu vaccine than they were from the disease itself.

The analysis contradicts government safety advice that the harm did not outweigh the risk and raises concerns about the Therapeutic Goods Administration's assessment of the vaccine.

More than 1000 adverse responses in children under five were reported to the TGA by June this year, including nearly 100 instances of febrile convulsions, a seizure which in a small number of cases has been associated with long-term adverse health outcomes.
