**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.

Flu, Pneumococcal vaccine increases risk of febrile seizure
Children 6 to 23 months of age who receive trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) concurrently with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are at increased risk of febrile seizures, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Frank DeStefano, MD, MPH, director of the CDC’s Immunization and Safety Office, and Grace M. Lee, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School, presented their findings at a recent meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in Atlanta. DeStefano noted that fever after vaccination is common and might increase the risk of febrile seizures. He estimated that when given concurrently, TIV and PCV13 might account for approximately 60 seizures per 100,000 children and that such seizures typically occur the day after vaccination.

Vaccinated People SHED LIVE HERPES for up to a month AFTER Vaccination!
**I certainly encourage everyone to click the link to read the full article, but I pasted a paragraph from the article at the end of this post. It says that the package insert warns vaccinated people should avoid contact with infants, pregnant women, and immune suppressed individuals. The PROBLEM is, the doctors do not let anyone see the vaccine inserts! I wanted to point that out but also the fact that I am not even a little surprised by this report and it happens in any 'Attenuated' virus vaccine. Polio is one that is notorious for causing paralyzing 'vaccine' type polio. Search this blog for those posts...**
NEW ORLEANS – Varicella zoster virus DNA was detected in subjects’ saliva for a month after immunization with the Zostavax herpes zoster vaccine in a prospective study.
Genotypic analysis demonstrated that the varicella zoster virus that was present in saliva was indeed the Zostavax live attenuated vaccine virus, Dr. Catherine M. DiGiorgio said at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The next step is to determine whether this virus that is being shed in saliva and at inoculation sites after immunization is infectious. If so, it’s possible that herpes zoster infection might be transmitted through recently immunized individuals.
Although that would be highly unwelcome news, there is a potential upside to the finding that varicella zoster virus (VZV) can be detected in saliva: "It possibly could have use in clinical practice, allowing detection of shingles prior to development of the rash, enabling earlier start of antiviral therapy, and decreasing the duration of shingles and the pain of post-herpetic neuralgia," said Dr. DiGiorgio of the center for clinical studies at the University of Texas, Houston.
The Zostavax package insert warns newly vaccinated individuals to avoid contact with infants, immunosuppressed individuals, and pregnant women who haven’t had chickenpox or been vaccinated against it, but the insert doesn’t specify why or provide a duration, Dr. DiGiorgio noted.

Sanofi’s ActHIB Vaccine Recalled in Japan after 5 childrens deaths
**How many children have to be harmed and killed before people start to really question the usefulness of these vaccines? This is already being brushed under the carpet as being blamed on the syringes. Please. It’s never the vaccine. It’s either the syringe, bad syringe hygiene, the doctor/nurse's fault, etc. It is NEVER the toxic vaccine. I should point out that the stoppers used with the syringes are usually made of rubber and MANY people are allergic to this rubber which then gets pushed into a person's body when injected. Do yourself a favor, don't take anymore ineffective, dangerous, and unnecessary vaccines and look into natural, safe, and effective alternatives like good organic food, vitamins, minerals, and homeopathy.**
By Jonathan D. Rockoff
Early this week, we learned that Japanese health officials had temporarily suspended the use of two common childhood vaccines while authorities investigated the deaths of five children.
Sanofi-Aventis SA, maker of the ActHIB vaccine caught up in the suspension, now says it’s recalling 200,000 doses distributed in Japan – but not because of the investigation.
Sanofi took action after finding that two syringes used to dispense the vaccine contained an undetermined “foreign matter,” a spokeswoman tells the Health Blog. The move is precautionary only, and the recalled ActHIB vaccine doses don’t present a safety risk, she says.
The ActHIB vaccine is administered using syringes — which contain a solution that renders the powdered vaccine ready for injection – in Japan, but not in the U.S.
Sanofi is still investigating, but believes the syringes, made in 2009, were contaminated somewhere during the manufacturing process. The foreign matter didn’t affect the sterility of the vaccine, and “parents of children who were vaccinated with these lots have no reason for concern and do not need to take any action,” the company spokeswoman says.

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.

Britain Suspends Flu Shot for Children Under 5 Years of Age

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.

5 Year Old Girl Dies from Flu despite having Flu Shot
**It saddens me to see children die from preventable causes. No one has to die from the flu but unfortunately there is a broken approach to health in most of the world driven by Big Pharma. Health does not come from presription medications and vaccinations. It is quite the contrary. Healthy food and a healthy lifestyle are the most important aspects of ensuring you do not die from a preventable disease. Unfortunately, this poor girl's immune system was compromised by the very vaccines that were to save her. It is a little known fact that vaccines destroy your immune system and do not enhance it. The human body is very capable of defending itself if it is not immuno compromised by the lifestyle we lead, the food and water we injest, or the toxins we insert into our body. Do yourselves and your children a favor and look into natural alternatives to vaccines. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Elderberry Extract, and the most powerful anti-biotic(without the side effects)/brilliant substance Colloidal Silver. Stop listening to companies selling their products and take your families life into your own hands.**
Levittown — BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP - About 36,000 people typically die each year from the flu, and tragically a 5-year-old girl from the township's B. Bernice Young Elementary School will be recorded as one of those thousands.
School officials said that the student, whose name was not released, had received a flu shot earlier this school year, but that she died last weekend from complications from the Influenza B virus, a strain different from the more viral H1N1, also know as swine flu.

Media, the Medical Establishment, and Big Pharma start up new round of Andrew Wakefield Bashing
**What a combo...Drug Companies, Doctors, and the Media. Three fountains of misinformation that just won't stop with this 1998 study that struck a nerve. And only now, 23 years later is it being discovered, all of the sudden, that his (and the other co-signers) were fraudulent in their claims regarding the MMR vaccine. This wasn't relevant, I suppose, when he was stripped of his medical license in the UK. Going through Google News just now, I went over 12 pages of nothing but Wakefield = Fraud stories. Why? Why the gusto when he has already been 'discredited' to the general public. I guess the smear campaign didn't have the desired effect the first time. Please read this article that points out the facts...including the 'other' studies never mentioned by the 3 'stooges' that supported Wakefield's original findings. I guess those were all "frauds" too..**
National Autism Association Says BMJ Article is Yet Another Attempt to Thwart Vaccine Safety Research
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The British Medical Journal published an article today attacking Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his work towards a better understanding of the medical issues involved in the development of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Dr. Wakefield co-authored the case series reported in the British Journal, The Lancet, in 1998, which identified a novel inflammatory bowel disease in children diagnosed with autism. The association between autism and bowel disease has been repeatedly confirmed by subsequent studies, (1) (2) (3) (4) including a consensus report published a year ago in Pediatrics.(5)
In recent years, US Federal Vaccine Court has conceded multiple times that immunizations have led to cases of autism, or "autistic-like" symptoms, and multiple sub-symptoms associated with the disorder. According to the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in 2008, 1322 cases of vaccine injury compensation settled out of court by the US Government in unpublished settlements. According to a statement from HRSA: "We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."
