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.

8 More Develop Narcolepsy from the H1N1 Flu Vaccine In Ireland

**Narcolepsy has been associated with the Swine Flu shot in Sweden, Finland, and now Ireland. 8 new cases associated with the Pandemerix flu vaccine. Will the CDC do the right thing and pull this product off the market? Of course not, they will say they are going to collect the data and conduct a study. This will take quite some time to complete and will injure many others before it is said and done. Make sure you and your children are not among the casualties. I couldn't imagine having to care for a child with this vaccine injury Narcolepsy. Here is our previous coverage of these incidents and notice we have not waivered at all:

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

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.

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.

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.

The possibility of compensations for children and young people diagnosed with narcolepsy recently is to be assessed later if a link between the disease and the swine flu vaccine is established, says Minister of Social Services Paula Risikko (Nat. Coalition Party).
“The matter must be evaluated when all studies have been made. Experts insist that if the illnesses and the vaccinations have a connection, we will find out.”
“I understand the pain of the families and the seriousness of the situation, but it is too early to take a stand on who has responsibility to compensate.”
