Interesting video about H1N1 Vaccine. Take a look:
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!!!! www.ama-assn.org At the peak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus epidemic last year, Atlanta internist Sandra Fryhofer, MD, had to refuse vaccine for some patients because they did not fall into the priority groups set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That shouldn’t be a problem during the next flu season, as the Food and Drug Administration has decided to include a pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus in the Northern Hemisphere’s 2010-11 seasonal influenza vaccine. “This will make vaccine strategies much simpler so we can focus on getting people vaccinated and protected rather than trying to figure out which group they’re in or should they get [the vaccine] now or later,” said Dr. Fryhofer, clinical associate professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and a member of the American Medical Association Council on Science and Public Health. The FDA announced Feb. 23 that an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus would be included in next season’s flu vaccine. This is the same virus used in the 2009 H1N1 monovalent vaccine. Also included in the upcoming influenza vaccine will be an A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus. The FDA’s move was followed a day later by a federal panel’s recommendation to administer next season’s flu vaccine to nearly all Americans, including healthy young people, a group that was disproportionately affected by H1N1. The US H1N1 epidemic peaked in October 2009, with another surge …

Do flu shots work? Not in healthy babies: A review of 51 studies involving more than 294000 children it was found there was no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than placebo. In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu. Reference: Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children.” The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008). Not in children with asthma: A study 800 children with asthma, half were vaccinated and the other half did not receive the influenza vaccine. The two groups were compared with respect to clinic visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations for asthma. CONCLUSION: This study failed to provide evidence that the influenza vaccine prevents pediatric asthma exacerbations. Reference: Effectiveness of influenza vaccine for the prevention of asthma exacerbations. Christly, C. et al. Arch Dis Child. 2004 Aug;89(8):734-5. Not in children with asthma (2): The inactivated flu vaccine does not prevent influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthmaIn fact, children who get the flu vaccine are three times more at risk for hospitalization than children who do not get the vaccine. Reference: The American Thoracic Societys 105th International Conference, May 15-20, 2009, San Diego. Not in adults: In a review of 48 reports (more than 66000 adults), Vaccination of healthy adults only reduced risk of influenza by …

Interesting video about H1N1 Vaccine. Take a look:
The vaccines are far more deadly than the swine flu! Toxic adjuvants in flu vaccines Vaccines themselves can be dangerous, especially live, attenuated viral vaccines or the new recombinant nucleic acid vaccines [10], they have the potential to generate virulent viruses by recombination and the recombinant nucleic acids could cause autoimmune diseases. A further major source of toxicity in the case of the flu vaccines are the adjuvants, substances added in order to boost the immunogenicity of the vaccines. There is a large literature on the toxicities of adjuvants. Most flu vaccines contain dangerous levels of mercury in the form of thimerosal, a deadly preservative 50 times more toxic than mercury itself [9]. At high enough doses, it can cause long-term immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioural dysfunctions. Also associated with mercury poisoning are autism, attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, and speech and language deficiencies. The Institute of Medicine has warned that infants, children, and pregnant women should not be injected with thimerosal, yet the majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of it. Another common adjuvant is alum or aluminium hydroxide, which can cause vaccine allergy, anaphylaxis, and macrophage myofascitis, a chronic inflammation syndrome, In cats, alum also gives rise to fibrosarcomas at the site of injection [15]. Numerous new adjuvants are no better, and could be worse. According to a recent review in a science and …
