H1N1 and Misinformation

There's a lot of misinformation floating around about the H1N1 virus and the related vaccine. This interview by Linda Moulton Howe sheds some much needed light on the issue:

http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1625&category=Environmen
Paul Glezen, M. D., is Professor of Molecular Virology and Microbiology, Pediatrics and Epidemiologist in the Influenza Research Center at Baylor.
Recently I talked with him about the second threat of H3N2 coming while H1N1 cases are doubling each week; why the novel H1N1 virus is hitting the young and
pregnant populations so hard and yet this time, older people seem to have some
immunity. Dr. Glezen begins with the link between the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic
that killed 100 million people and this new H1N1 flu virus.

The 1918 pandemic virus was an H1N1 virus. But the hemagglutinin of the current H1N1 is much different from the 1918 H1N1. Certainly H1N1 from the earlier days (of 1918) is related to this new virus. But this H1N1 does not have the virulence
factors that 1918 did.


All Influenza A Viruses Originated in Birds 2009


Novel H1N1 is an Influenza A Virus


COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT IF THIS IS A NOVEL VIRUS THAT HAS NORTH AMERICAN SWINE, HAS BIRDS, AVIAN, AND HUMANS IN THE GENETIC
MIX OF THE VIRUS – HOW COULD ANYONE FROM ANY TIME PERIOD HAVE ANTIBODIES TO SOMETHING THAT IS THIS STRANGE?

You have to realize that all Influenza A viruses started originally from birds. But then, they occasionally infect mammals of different species and eventually a virus emerges that will spread readily in humans.

Now, the pig is generally considered the mixing vessel because pigs have receptors for both avian viruses and human viruses.
Influenza viruses have a segmented genome. That is, their genetic material is
divided into eight different segments. It’s very easy then for the viruses to
re-assort and can re-assort in all kinds of combinations. Some of the gene
segments can come from pigs, some from birds and some from humans. That’s what’s happened in this new H1N1 virus. But let me stress that it is now a human virus because it is spreading very readily in human populations.

Another 2009-2010 Flu Threat: H3N2 “The H3N2 is a threat to the elderly population.” Then this winter, we might see seasonal flu – particularly H3N2 produce an outbreak this winter. We’re concerned about that because doctors discovered a
new variant of the virus in the Southern Hemisphere in our summer, their winter,
and that might get up here this winter at the usual time for seasonal flu
peaking in the middle of February 2010.

And H3N2 has been the major cause of mortality since it appeared in 1968. That virus has produced epidemics essentially every other year since it first appeared in 1968.

SO THE POSSIBILITY IS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE EVEN A BIGGER SPIKE IN MORTALITY IN THE H3N2 BECAUSE OF A NEW VARIANT IN ITS GENOME SEQUENCING THAT FIRST APPEARED IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AND COULD BE UP HERE THIS WINTER.
Yes, that’s possible because as we have said, the older population, which usually make up the majority of people in the excess mortality category seem to be protected against the new H1N1, but for some reason, they have not acquired protection against the H3N2 variants that have appeared since 1968. So, most of the mortality – and this is largely in elderly people – that has occurred since 1968 has occurred in years when we have had H3N2 epidemics. GOING INTO THE WINTER OF 2009-2010, WE HAVE TWO INGREDIENTS: THE NEW H1N1 THAT IS FOCUSING ON CHILDREN AND PEOPLE IN THEIR 20S AND 30S. THEN WE HAVE THE H3N2 IN A NEW VARIANT THAT COULD BE HARDER
ON OLDER PEOPLE.

That’s correct. So, I think there is a good possibility that we’ll have an H3N2 outbreak in mid-winter of 2010. The H3N2 is a threat to the elderly population.

IS ONE OF THE IRONIES NOW THAT YOU AND OTHER VIROLOGISTS ARE ACTUALLY WORRIED MORE ABOUT H3N2’S IMPACT THIS YEAR THAN H1N1?

No, I wouldn’t say that. The impact is very different depending upon the
age of the person. I think this H1N1 is going to have a very heavy impact on
school age children and college students and there will be some tragic deaths
that occur in very young, healthy people. And that’s why it is important for
everyone now to get the seasonal vaccine as quickly as they can get it so they
will be prepared for this winter.

Safety of H1N1 New Vaccine

WHAT IS YOUR PERCEPTION ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE SAFETY OF THE NEW H1N1 VACCINE?

The new vaccine is treated a strain change by the FDA. In other words, they have examined the virus and looked at its growth characteristics and preliminary data from all the vaccine manufacturers and they concluded this is like a strain change that we have every year with seasonal flu. The new H1N1 vaccine is produced in a manner that is no different than seasonal flu vaccines, which we have been using by millions of doses for the past fifty years. So, we have no concern about anything being special about this vaccine.

But, from all the data we have seen, we agree we can treat this
like a seasonal flu vaccine that has a change, but it’s manufactured in the same
way as a seasonal vaccine.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF
GETTING ANY VACCINATION OF EITHER OF THE FLU VACCINES (Novel H1N1 or 2009 seasonal flu vaccine)?

I think they need to look at the statistics on the number of people who have been ill and the number of people who have died with the new H1N1 virus. Then they have to weigh the risks and benefits. If those afraid think the risk of the vaccine is greater than risk from infection by the virus, then they can make their choice. But, personally, I think people are much better off if they take the vaccine and get protection against infection with this new virus.

Since August 30th, the U. S. Public Health Service has attributed over 10,000 hospitalizations to the new H1N1 virus and almost a thousand deaths. That’s only for September 2009. And the numbers have doubled each week since September 1, and we have seen skyrocketing change in the number of people who are presenting with influenza-like illness to clinics and emergency rooms. So, I think we can expect those numbers to increase.

It does not appear we have reached the peak of activity for this H1N1 wave yet. So, we’re still going to see a lot of illness before this fall is out.

No Mercury in H1N1 Vaccine for Pregnant Women and Children

The H1N1 vaccine is produced the same way as the seasonal vaccine. The
vaccine that will be given to pregnant women and children will have no mercury
in it. The vaccine in multi-dose vials for older people will have the usual
amount of thimerosal in it.

[ Editor’s Note: National Network for Immunization Information (NNii) - “What is thimerosal, and why is it in some vaccines? Thimerosal is a compound that is 49.6% mercury by weight. Although it is not used in all vaccines (for example, it is not used in measles-mumps-rubella or chickenpox vaccines), it has been part of the
manufacture of many vaccines since the 1930s. Thimerosal has been used: to kill
the bacteria that make the vaccine itself (e.g., whole cell pertussis vaccine)
to kill bacteria that might enter the vaccine during the production process
(e.g., influenza vaccine) as a preservative to prevent bacterial and fungal
contamination of vaccines during their clinical use. In this case, thimerosal is
added at the end of the production process either to the liquid vaccine itself
or — in the case of dry powder vaccines — to the liquid used to dilute the
vaccine.” ]

Now, I want to say there is no evidence that thimerosal has any toxicity. Studies have shown that it is rapidly metabolized and excreted in the bile and does not accumulate and create toxic effects. It’s an ethyl mercury, which is very different than the mercury that causes poisoning, which is methylmercury that is not metabolized rapidly and tends to accumulate and produce toxicity. Methylmercury is found in seafood – particularly tuna and fish like that – and can accumulate and produce toxicity.

So, I don’t think anyone has to worry about the thimerosal in the influenza vaccine in the dose it is given. It’s not going to cause any harm.

WHO WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE H1N1 VACCINE IN THE UNITED STATES?

The goal is to immunize everyone in the country. But if it is the younger people who are having all the infections and are dying from it, it’s better if the new vaccine is targeted toward the younger population and pregnant women. Pregnant women have an excess mortality with this H1N1 that women of the same age who are notpregnant do not have. So, it’s important that we get an activated vaccine for pregnant women and a live or activated vaccine for school kids particularly because if we can get the school kids immunized rapidly, that will slow down the spread of the virus and we will be able to immunize the rest of the American population, hopefully before they have been infected.

How Does H1N1 Kill So Many Pregnant Women? WHY ARE
PREGNANT WOMEN SO VULNERABLE TO THE NEW VIRUS?

They are susceptible to it, that’s one thing. And pregnant women are vulnerable, not because they have a problem with their immunity. They respond to the vaccine very well. But, as the pregnancy progresses, the diaphragm is pushed up so their pulmonary reserve is compromised . And also their cardio-pulmonary reserve is less. Therefore, if they get pneumonia with influenza, they are more likely to die.

Another thing to remember is that if a pregnant woman takes the vaccine, she makes antibodies that are also passed to her new baby. It’s no use to vaccinate babies
before 6 months of age, so the only protection the babies can get against influenza infection are the antibodies they get from their mother. So, if the mother is vaccinated during pregnancy, she will not only protect herself, but she will provide protection for her baby that should last for the first six months of the baby’s life after birth. That is a very vulnerable period for the baby, too.

How Did H1N1 Vaccinations Get Turned Into A Political Football?


There are anti-vaccine groups that seem intent on doing this and it doesn’t matter whether it’s flu vaccine or some other vaccine. Whatever is popular is what they attack. All the studies show that vaccines are very safe and the amount of disease they prevent is amazing!


In this era of high cost of medical care, we should be doing everything we can to prevent illness and reduce costs of health care. Otherwise, we are going to drown in the cost of health care. So, to go against agents that are affective vaccines is againstthe national interest and our economy.

Could the Novel H1N1 Flu VirusMutate
to More Virulence?

THE H1N1 VIRUS COULD JUST KEEP PERKING ALONG UNTIL WHAT?


I think it will produce a pretty sharp outbreak this fall of 2009. Then it might die out a little bit and then it might either re-occur in the winter or come back next year.

WILL IT CHANGE THE HEMAGGLUTININ AGAIN SO THAT IT’S
MORE VIRULENT? OR LESS?

Well, it usually mutates in response to the immunity of the population. Partially, it will depend upon how quickly we distribute vaccine against the current H1N1 virus. Then we might see a change in the virus. But whether or not it will change the virulence, that’s really speculation.


BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR, WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROJECTED DEATHS
FROM THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO VIRUSES THIS YEAR? WHAT IS NORMAL AND WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN?

Normal seasonal flu is 50,000 excess deaths. That’s the average. The direct medical costs plus indirect costs due to disruption of social factors is $87 billion/ year just for seasonal flu. The cost is very high for flu every year.

HOW MANY MORE THAN 50,000 WOULD YOU EXPECT IN
DEATHS?

I would expect the total to be 70,000 to 80,000 excess deaths.

NOT QUITE DOUBLING, BUT GETTING UP THERE.

Yes, getting up there, but the age specific mortality will be different because there will be much higher mortality in younger people than we usually see.”

Novel H1N1
Virus Symptoms Differ Patient to Patient


Another aspect of this novel H1N1 are the differences in symptoms from patient to patient. Recent child deaths in
Indiana and New Mexico shocked the parents because each healthy girl had few
symptoms other than a sore throat and nausea until each suddenly declined, went
to emergency rooms and died without any evidence of other medical complications
other than lab-confirmed H1N1 virus.The more typical symptoms summarized in the
recent CDC research include:

- 39% had diarrhea or vomiting compared to
only 5% with normal seasonal flu- About 40% of H1N1 patients ended up with
pneumonia because the virus especially attacks lung tissue.- All had been put on
breathing machines, but 7% died. Weigh that higher mortality rate against the
fact that about 75% of all these patients in the CDC study had been given
antiviral medicines such as Tamiflu. This means even with the antivirals, mortalitywas higher than normal.


As Dr. Glezen pointed out, with the virulent strain of H3N2 now making its way north on top of the H1N1, deaths from influenza in the United States by February 2010, could nearly double. That’s why it is important for older people to get the seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible – and why those on the list to receive the H1N1 vaccine now being distributed should get that vaccine as soon as possible.

Government to get special swine flu vaccine



Government to get special swine flu vaccine
Published: 18 Oct 09 12:00 CET
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/national/20091018-22649.html
Just a week after it emerged that the German armed forces was getting a different kind of A/H1N1 vaccine to the general population, Der Spiegel magazine reports that the government will also get special treatment.

The general population will be offered the GlaxoSmithKline vaccine, called Pandemrix, which contains a new booster element, or adjuvant, as well as a preservative containing mercury.Controversy has grown around the rapid licensing of the GSK vaccine – and a similar one being made by Novartis. Critics said not enough testing had been conducted before European licensing authorities rushed an approval.Chancellor Angela Merkel, her cabinet members and ministry civil servants as well as those working for other agencies will get Celvapan, produced by US firm Baxter, which does not have the adjuvant or the preservative, according to Der Spiegel.It is thought the adjuvant may lead to a stronger reaction in the patient – which to a certain degree is the point, meaning the vaccine can contain less of the virus yet still provoke the crucial immune system reaction. But this is also what some say is the additional risk – and has led to stocks of the traditional kind of vaccine being bought in for pregnant women and young children. Celvapan does not contain the adjuvant or the preservative. Rather, it contains entire dead viruses rather than the pieces which are in the traditional vaccine. The Baxter version is the one being given to the armed forces, as well as being made available for pregnant women and children. It seems now that ministers and civil servants are to be included in that category. “We have bought 200,000 doses of the non-adjuvanted vaccine Celvapan from the company Baxter,” Christoph Hübner, spokesman for the Interior Ministry confirmed to Der Spiegel.It will be used for "state servants responsible for the maintenance of public order," the magazine reported. Next to members of the cabinet and civil servants, this includes staff of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, which took the decision to order the new vaccine from GSK for the rest of the country. No explicit reason was offered as to why they should get the Baxter vaccine rather than the GSK version.Chairman of the German Medical Association’s Drug Commission Wolf-Dieter Ludwig said the situation was a scandal. “We are unhappy about this vaccination campaign,” he said. The point of it was unknown, he suggested. “The health authorities have succumbed to a campaign by the pharma companies, which simply want to earn money from a supposed threat.”Meanwhile some medical associations are advising their members not to administer the new vaccine. President of the German Association of General and Family Medicine, Michael Kochen, has called on German general doctors not to give it to patients. “The risks outweigh the benefits,” he said. Wolfram Hartmann, president of the Association of Paediatricians, accused the government of making false scientific statements. He said children under the age of three should not be given the shots. “The vaccine has not been tested on them, thus the risk is simply too great for it to be used,” he said, adding that children’s immune systems tend to overreact, which could be exacerbated by the adjuvants. He also criticised the use of mercury-containing preservatives. “One has deliberately kept this stuff out of vaccines for small children,” he said.

UPDATE ON WASHINGTON REDSKINS CHEERLEADER CRIPPLED FOR LIFE AFTER BEING VACCINATED


This is an update on Desiree Jennings. This poor woman was crippled with a neurological disorder after taking a vaccine, which is poisonous and contains mercury, squalene and other chemical toxins harmful to the body and nervous system among other dangerous substances that are in them. Research into the ingredients of what is inside a vaccine and DO NOT foolishly put something into your body when you do not even know what's in it or what it can do to you.


Taking vaccines just because the government tells you to is completely stupid and ridiculous. Question authority and question your reality.

NFL Cheerleader Suffers Irreversible Dystonia after Flu Shot


Follow us on Twitter
The debate over how safe the flu shot is appears in the news several times a week. In general, there are more risks in getting the flu itself than there are in the vaccine. However, the news that NFL cheerleader, Desiree Jennings, now suffers from a neurological condition brought on by the flu shot is causing fear in many people.
The fact that Desiree Jennings had a terrible reaction to the seasonal flu shot she received in August does not mean that everyone will have the same reaction. In reality, it may be a one in a million shot that the flu shot would cause a rare neurological disorder called dystonia. This is what Doctors at Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins diagnosed the NFL cheerleader with and they think it was caused by a severe reaction to the flu shot.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The disorder may be inherited or caused by other factors such as birth-related or other physical trauma, infection, poisoning or reaction to drugs.
Desiree Jennings, 26 was the picture of health prior to the flu shot she received on August 23. She is a Washington Redskins cheerleader and an avid runner. Ten days after receiving the flu shot, she came down with the flu. After that, her health got worse and she was hospitalized twice for seizures. Finally, she was diagnosed with dystonia and the doctors speculated that it was the flu shot that caused it.
Dystonia has been completely disabling for Desiree. She can’t walk forward, only backward. She can whisper but has difficulty speaking. Noises can cause convulsions. Her resting heart rate is 90. When she runs her blood pressure dips to 58. She gets exhausted walking a few steps but she could run for hours. Jennings now has difficulty speaking, walking, and even eating. She also experiences frequent seizures.
Desiree reported her health problems to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in case there was an issue with the vaccine. The FDA reported no problems with the vaccine she received and they have no other reports of adverse reactions from the lot.
NFL cheerleader Desiree Jennings, who had flu shots in 2007/2008 with no reaction, is aware that Dystonia is a rare reaction to the flu vaccine. Dystonia is an irreversible condition.
Although Desiree Jennings life is now completely changed, this reaction to the flu shot is very rare. Not getting a flu shot could have adverse affects as well, especially for those with chronic health problems.

Baxter To Develop Swine Flu Vaccine Despite Bird Flu Scandal

Baxter To Develop Swine Flu Vaccine Despite Bird Flu Scandal

Monday, April 27, 2009
A U.S. based pharmaceutical company that just weeks ago was involved in a scandal involving vaccines tainted with deadly avian flu virus has been chosen to head up efforts to produce a vaccine for the Mexican swine flu that has seemingly migrated into the U.S. and Europe.
Baxter confirmed over the weekend that it is working with the World Health Organization on a potential vaccine to curb the deadly swine flu virus that is blamed for scores of deaths in Mexico and has emerged as a threat in the U.S., reports the Chicago Tribune.
Baxter has previously worked with governments all over the globe to develop and produce vaccines to protect against infectious disease or potential threats from bioterrorism. After 9/11 Baxter helped supply stockpiles of a smallpox vaccine and in 2003 the company was contracted to develop a vaccine to combat the SARS virus. In 2006 the UK Government announced plans designed to inoculate every person in the country with Baxter’s vaccines in the event of a flu pandemic.
However, Baxter has a very recent and most disturbing connection to flu vaccines.
As reported by multiple sources last month, including the Times of India, vaccines contaminated with deadly live H5N1 avian flu virus were distributed to 18 countries last December by a lab at an Austrian branch of Baxter.
It was only by providence that the batch was first tested on ferrets in the Czech Republic, before being shipped out for injection into humans. The ferrets all died and the shocking discovery was made.
Czech newspapers immediately questioned whether the events were part of a conspiracy to deliberately provoke a pandemic, following up on accusations already made by health officials in other countries.
Initially, Baxter attempted to stonewall questions by invoking “trade secrets” and refused to reveal how the vaccines were contaminated with H5N1. After increased pressure they then claimed that pure H5N1 batches were sent by accident.
Since the probability of mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible, this leaves no other explanation than that the contamination was a deliberate attempt to weaponize the H5N1 virus to its most potent extreme and distribute it via conventional flu vaccines to the population who would then infect others to a devastating degree as the disease went airborne.
The fact that Baxter mixed the deadly H5N1 virus with a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses is the smoking gun. The H5N1 virus on its own has killed hundreds of people, but it is less airborne and more restricted in the ease with which it can spread. However, when combined with seasonal flu viruses, which as everyone knows are super-airborne and easily spread, the effect is a potent, super-airbone, super deadly biological weapon.
Indeed, some have already suggested that the current scare could represent the use of such a weapon.
Now it has been announced that Baxter is seeking a sample of the potentially lethal never before seen form of swine/avian/human flu virus in order to assist the World Health Organization in developing a new vaccine, reaping billions in the process.
Why should Baxter be trusted, when they have already been proven to be at the very least criminally negligent, and at worst a prime suspect in attempting to carry off one of the most heinous crimes in the history of mankind?
The company has already put the safety of the entire human race at risk, and now, just a few weeks later, we’re expected to invest our confidence in them and take their shots with a smile and a still tongue?
As Mike Adams of Natural News has commented, “If you mail an envelope full of anthrax to your Senator, you get arrested as a terrorist. So why is Baxter — which mailed samples of a far more deadly viral strain to labs around the world — getting away with saying, essentially, ‘Oops?’”
WHO officials are reportedly still closely monitoring the investigation into Baxter’s contaminated flu vaccines, seemingly they are not too concerned. Perhaps we should be.

Please Be a Responsible User!

Everyone has to be responsible for their own decisions. If you are afraid of catching the H1N1 flu this year. You may be pondering whether to get a flu shot or using the H1N1 FluMist. The FluMist is administered into your nostrils. Before making your final decision, you may want to ask some questions and think of some consequences to taking the H1N1 FluMist nasal spray.The H1N1 FluMist is made with "live" virus. This means that the H1N1 flu will be a part of the nasal spray formula. It's supposed to be just enough to start your immunity to build defenses to it. The shot is supposed to be a killed virus. If you take the H1N1 FluMist, you will in fact become a carrier of the H1N1 flu. Information on this drug states that you can and will shed the virus for up to 21 days. That means as you are visiting with your elderly family members, or shopping in the isles of your grocery store or sitting in church with young children and people with immune problems, YOU are going to be shedding the virus H1N1 germs.If you are a person that cannot tolerate the shot or the FluMist for the H1N1 flu, you are a sitting duck when it comes to being around people who have taken the FluMist. The use of FluMist is for people ages 2 - 49. How many people do you come into contact each day that don't fit the age range?Drugs.com says that you should be careful when coming into contact with "FluMist with anyone who has a weak immune system caused by disease (such as cancer, HIV, or AIDS), or by certain medicines such as steroids, cancer chemotherapy, or radiation treatment. A person with a weak immune system can become ill if they have close contact with you after you have recently received a an influenza vaccine." Pregnant women are also on this list of people who should NOT use FluMist.What happens when anything gets in your nose? You sneeze! Please be a responsible user of the FluMist and cover your face when you sneeze and cough. Remember, you are passing the H1N1 flu germs. The flu is passed from person to person with the sneezing, the coughing and germs from your hands. So if you take FluMist for the H1N1 flu, please practice good hygiene for the rest of us and wash, wash, wash your hands!If you take the H1N1 FluMist nasal spray, please read up on it. Please ask questions about it. And please be a responsible user of the FluMist. We're all counting on you out here!

Of course, everyone has free will to do what they want but before you make your decision, we just want to bring many important facts to your attention before you run out to get your shot…. Take some time to read and watch the links below and you maybe shocked about the real facts of the H1N1 Flu…. This is the stuff the Governments won't tell you…. If you want more info on the affects of what this vaccine for swine flu can do along with the real facts of the swine flu then go to: http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfm&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=O& Here is an interview by Dr Mercola talking about the Vaccine: -please disregard any advertising on this video.http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfP&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=W& As of August 28th 2009 (update 63) (http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDff&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=i& ),there have been 2185 deaths world wide from H1N1. Compared to seasonal flu, this does not constitute a pandemic, let alone justify mandatory mass vaccination with a vaccine that will have dangerous side effects and little proof of efficacy. Approximately 36 thousand Americans die from seasonal flu every year, 200 thousand are hospitalised. Between 250 - 500 thousand people die from seasonal flu world wide, also resulting in three to five million cases of severe illness. http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDf8&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=X& Theworldwide 2185 deaths from H1N1 virus, does not constitute a pandemic yet alone grounds to begin mandatory vaccination around theworld. This doesn’t make sense to us and it seems there is some higher order or reason to be running this scare campaign aroundthe world. There is also a massive cost to each tax payer along with a huge profit being made by the manufacturer of the vaccine. While we are on manufacturers, can you believe a company called Medimmune filed a patent on the latest H1N1 flu more than a yearbefore the first case? Yes you heard, a year before the swine flu started!!! Don’t believe us then watch this…. http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfj&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=v& -H1N1 SwineFlu Virus Patented by Medimmune Back in 2008 Funny that the Australian government can't even come clean on the actual cost yet they have put in an order for 21 million H1N1vaccinations and there are only 21 Million people in the country! If that is not starting to look like mandatory vaccination then what is? Why would the Government buy 21 Million Vaccines at a cost they can not even tell the tax payers of Australia about if they didn’t have a plan to max vaccinate? You be the judge…http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfv&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=V&–Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon says near the end of the article and we quote… Ms. Roxon was unable to put a precise figure on the cost of the vaccine. "There are some confidentiality issues. We have a private contractual agreement with CSL for the priority provision for this vaccine," she said. "I have made clear on the record before that it is over $100 million. It is not appropriate for us to be itemizing the exact cost, given the commercial interests that are also at stake." Personally we find that very interesting that the government who has gone into contract with CSL can not give the Australian people (who will be consuming the vaccine should they choose tohave it) an honest answer of what this vaccine is going to costthe tax payers nor the real facts behind the vaccine. It is really interesting that CSL the makers of the vaccine have posted a tidy 63% profit also: http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfU&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=K& Some more interesting sites, articles & videos worth reading & Watching before you make your choice to be vaccinated…. http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDf5&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=2&http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfk&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=Z& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfY&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=e& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfu&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=o&http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfx&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=L& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfT&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=H& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfc&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=m& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfp&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=P& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfs&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=f&http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDf1&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=8&- action you can take if you are a US citizenhttp://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfb&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=j& http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDf3&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=U&- Bioterrorism Evidence - 134 page documenthttp://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfN&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=5& - US troopers reactingto flu vaccine US National Vaccine Information Centerhttp://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDf7&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=k&http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfd&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=Y&http://getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=lDfq&mc=m&s=B6ImR&y=u& Other non-relevant Articles about what is going on right now:Ok, what can you do?
