Swine Flu Shot Linked to Deadly Nerve Disease
 

"A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter."

Never fucking ends.

Hmm so where are all the PRO vaccine crew that were giving those of us that were up in arms about rumors of forced injections now? Libertine? Cough Cough. Ya just imagine if you have children that were forced to receive the "safe" vaccine and they ended up with life long issues or death after receiving a government forced injection. I bet the Government would really be there to help you after that huh? All for the greater good right? :1orglaugh

considering where medicine was 100 years ago, and the eradication of several 'life long conditions' during that time from NA

the governments would appreciate a bit of a break from the conspiracy theories on this one! ;)

I read the thread about people who choose not to vaccinate their kids and wanted to post but knew if I was flamed for what I said I would turn low class in a hot minute and unleash the witty sailor in me. After my daughter's first round of vaccinations she had high fevers and convulsions (seizures I later found). I called the Dr. and he said not to worry, 1 in 175 children have reactions and that it was normal. He said the reactions are mostly due to the DPT (Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis combo) vaccine and that separating them out would be a good idea next round. After much research I decided there would be no second round. I spoke with families that had lost their children after the same reactions or whose children had severe lifelong issues including but not limited to epilepsy, retardation and other neurologic illnesses. 1 in 300 of the DPT vaccinations result in seizures. If you are a gambler, I say go for it. I am not. There were vaccinations I did allow a few years later, but spaced out and not including the DPT. I don't regret my decision whatsoever and have to sign waivers for school. To each their own

just stay away from sneezing and coughing pigs. problem solved.

Yup we passed on the DPT as well. Just not worth the risk for diseases they are VERY unlikely to ever come in contact with. Nothing wacko about it period. Risking your kids health on vaccines that are known to cause issues, or unproven is the wacko part.

I 100% agree with you, man!

Anyways, to anyone pro-swine-flu-vaccine: never took the regular flu shot, won't take this one either. :2 cents:

i kissed a pig just a few minutes ago shes watching tv now hahaha

The sad part of it is that they are injecting people with a semi-live flu. They don't really understand what the virus will do in itself (unless it was created) much less what injecting a small part of it into the WORLD population.. Maybe it's just the way I read things but I don't hear anything but bad news from them. What would it be like without them? I dunno. But what I do know is I've made it this long without many hospital visits outside of various stupid shit like punching walls breaking carpals. It takes an act of god to get blood out of me much less someone trying to stick something in me.

To the best of my knowledge all vaccines carry risk of complications...up to and including death...but they are for the greater good. One can be a carrier of something that does not affect them but will affect others.

That is an awful, awful article.

No new link has been found. The neurologists in question are being told to watch closely so that if there is an increase in cases of GBS that might be linked to the vaccine, action can be taken immediately. Even if it seems very unlikely based on current data, keeping an eye open is always a good idea. Also, keep in mind that the swine flu already killed more people in the US than would be likely to die from adverse side-effects if the entire population got the vaccination.

But regardless of this asinine article, there will probably be no reason to take the vaccine if you don't already have a weak immune system, and population-wide vaccinations are likely to be canceled in most countries. Not because the vaccine is turning out to have dangerous new side-effects, but because this particular strain of influenza appears to be turning out to be less serious than previously thought.

Oh, and here's a somewhat more accurate article:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/sw...be-probed.html

What year of med school are you in? Do you intend to specialize and if so in what?

I posted in the other thread WHY I wont and never will jump on the hurry and get vaccinated bandwagon. This is why...

I used to avoid the regular flu vaccines, but after getting knocked hard by bad flu once I began getting them. I kinda figured that people had been getting them for some time, so it probably was ok.

I really do not know about this swine flu situation. I guess because I'm older, I'm in a group that seems to be less severely effected by the virus, so there may not be a need for the vaccine.

I'm not a big conspiracy buff, but I don't really like to see people forced into a situation where they are taking meds with unknown side effects either.

Having taken the regular vaccine, I may go ahead and opt for this one as well when it is offered.

Funny you should mention that

"Polio On The Rise In Nigeria

Polio is spreading in Nigeria and health officials say that the vaccine used to fight it has caused it, in some cases. "

Wait so you are saying that scientists were off the mark here? Hmm I thought they did not make mistakes and we should trust them unconditionally to know what is best for the "greater good" lmao. You guys are the nuts ones trusting someone to inject stuff into you that might affect you till the day you die. :1orglaugh

wow thats unpleasant

Scientists are often off the mark. That's the point of science: making judgments based on facts, and adjusting your judgments as you gain new information. But while scientists are not infallible, they at least know what they're talking about, and base their positions on current research.

People like you, on the other hand, base their statements on absolute and complete ignorance.

Take the article in the OP, for example. In this thread, you seem to have interpreted some newspaper article as evidence that the vaccine isn't safe.

Here's what you apparently don't know:

Risk of getting GBS (which has about a 5% death rate) after a flu vaccination is thought to be around 1-2 in a million.
Risk of getting GBS after getting the flu is thought to be around 1-2 in 50k.
Risk of dying from the flu is around 1-1.5 in 10k.

But hey, by all means, go on being ignorant.

People use this term often on gfy: "hillbilly," however it really only applies to a select few. :thumbsup

I don't plan on reading the article but it's probably like the misinformation spread in the 70's when they were trying to vaccinate for the same flu. Spread by ignorant people like me who don't read articles or read articles written by fellow ignants and do a lot of assuming/listening to other ignants.

Another reason to start the orgiastic community in the woods that we've always talked about, Sands!

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Yes it is so ignorant to look at all the "mistakes" made in the past when science has rushed to judgement and ended up causing health issues and death to those that trusted in them blindly. Well then let me be ignorant. Id rather be ignorant than had my life shortened by a vaccine that I have probably less than 5% chance of ever needing to protect myself from a disease that isn't even likely to be fatal if I would contract it in the first place. Yes so ignorant. lol BAHHH!!

We're one step closer to creating the ideal wilderness sex cult :winkwink:

All of my friends that have had the Flu shot have got the Flu, I have always been against taking it and haven't had the flu in years.

Go Figure.

What disinformation were they spreading? That 1 person died from the flu then and 25 people died and thousands of other were maimed for life from taking the vaccine?

Yup what crappy misinformation huh? hehe 25 dead and only 1 died from the disease they were trying to protect us from... :uhoh lol

I say no to vaccines and have done for years.

Apparently.

Slightly under 600 cases of GBS were reported, slightly over 400 were confirmed, and about 70% of patients made a full recovery within the first year. So yes, if you claim that "thousands were maimed for life", misinformation most certainly has been spread.

In that case, by the way, the most likely cause wasn't the vaccine itself, but the fact that some batches became contaminated with another disease.

And no, an instance of accidental contamination is not cause to believe that vaccines are inherently unsafe. After all, even with that particular instance, the risk of dying of it was still smaller than that of dying from food poisoning on, say, a 2 week vacation.

And please, don't forget that the swine flu currently going around has already killed nearly 2k people worldwide, with nearly 500 of those in the US - 20 times as many as complications from that vaccine killed 30 years ago.

Here's what makes you ignorant:

You imply that the vaccine would shorten your life. You haven't done extensive empirical studies yourself, so you're basing that statement on something else. The something you're basing the statement on can't be the actual studies that have been done, since those indicate something entirely different.

Two things are left, then. Anecdotal evidence and pseudoscience. Trusting either one of those over verifiable empirical studies is, quite frankly, incredibly stupid.

Even more stupid is your apparent distaste for science, since it indicates your complete ignorance of what science actually is.

But I'll stop discussing this with you. I wouldn't want to risk convincing you and ending up being the one responsible for your genes polluting the pool any further.

I don't have distaste for science just for the blind trust put in it by people like you even though it has been shown time and time again that science has been incredibly wrong time and time over and over again. Shown to make unforgivable mistakes. My gene pool is actually extremely good. No diseases in our family line except for some cancer here and there. Extremely long life for most everyone in my family. Strong ability to fight off illness etc. So I don't think its too wise to allow someone to stick a needle in me with untested and unproven vaccines, when the last go round 25 people were killed and tons more ended up with issues.

Its much more ignorant of you to follow like a sheep into the injection room.

Here's an illustration of how what I wrote went completely over your head.

Awesome enjoy your vaccinated existence ;)

Everyone in this thread has been vaccinated, even the genius above this post. LOL :1orglaugh

Good God you people have been brain washed. lol I have the minimum required vaccinations and Im just fine. lol

Its cool, we'll see how things go. lol

Brainwashed? I stated a fact about you and the rest of us being vaccinated, you would not have ever attended school if you weren't. Did you go to school? LOL :1orglaugh

Hey fag you know sometimes the polio vaccine gives you polio. Using your 'logic' we shouldn't be giving that out either. Don't you have dicks to suck and content to steal and cameras to hand out? Now STFU queer no one want to hear your fucking opinion.

aww are you sad cause you haven't got laid (male or female I would guess) in the last decade cause you can't manage to pry your 3" cock out from between your backwoods fat folds?

More false accusations by you once again. Sad sad fat lonely old man. one thing I can say is that I've never seen an opinion of yours that wasn't laced with hate. That speaks volumes of you and how you have to project your ineptitudes on others in order to feel better about your sad pathetic life.
