More Swine Flu Vaccine News

Although I didn’t intend to write another blog about the swine flu vaccine since I covered it a couple of weeks ago (link here), I came across some interesting news today that I wanted to share.  This is from Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center, who says this:

“If you or your child are injured from getting a flu swine flu shot, you are on your own. Because Congress shielded the vaccine manufacturers and any person giving swine flu shots from lawsuits if people get hurt. There is no funded government vaccine injury compensation program for swine flu vaccine.”

The question is do we trust the government to give us something safe for our bodies and those of our children when there is no recourse–they have no responsibility whatsoever–should anything happen as a result?  Could that affect how carefully (or carelessly) they test the vaccine to begin with?

From the FDA’s website directly:  “Safety and effectiveness of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children less than 4 years of age. (8.1, 8.3, 8.4).”

In addition, if any adverse reactions do occur as a result of this swine flu vaccine, there is a good chance that those reactions will be seen as “coincidences” by federal health officials anyway (see below).  I remember reading about parents who heard those words when their child developed autism or were never the same after receiving their massive doses of  vaccinations.  “It was a coincidence. . .your child would have developed autism anyway. . .it’s just a coincidence that it started within a week of his or her vaccines.”

Fisher addresses this issue:  “But even if there was a funded vaccine injury compensation program - like the one that had to be created by the federal government in 1976 after that year’s swine flu vaccine paralyzed about 500 Americans and killed 25, there is little chance you would be compensated if you or your child does become vaccine injured.  Federal health officials are already pre-emptively warning Americans that most of the deaths and cases of brain inflammation, seizures, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, strokes, heart attacks, miscarriages and other serious health problems that develop after swine flu vaccination will be considered a ‘coincidence’ and not related in any way to the flu shots just given.”

I do not like to speculate as to the motivation behind what people do, but I’ll give you the facts and let you decide from there.

“We are witnessing a roll-out of the largest, most expensive mass vaccination campaign in the history of our nation. A rollout that is bigger than even the polio vaccine campaigns of the 1950’s. . .Swine flu shots are free for most Americans because the government has given $1 billion dollars to pharmaceutical companies to create the new swine flu vaccines and has given another $5 billion dollars to state and federal health agencies to promote and deliver the influenza vaccines to people. That is a lot of money. The push to get vaccinated is like nothing we have ever seen before.” (Fisher)

Let’s not forget that pharmaceutical companies such as those that manufacturer vaccines, are in a business. . .a business for profit. 

“The entire vaccination philosophy now believes that the human immune system is useless and should be hijacked with Big Pharma’s chemicals. It’s ridiculous. Sure, vaccines are warranted in laboratory workers who might be exposed to level-4 infectious agents that could be fatal, but pushing mandatory vaccines on all the children in the nation just to prevent non-fatal infections and winter colds is medical madness.  But it does, of course, earn profits for Big Pharma. And that’s the whole point of the big vaccination push in the first place. It has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with corporate profits” (source).

I can’t pretend that I’m not worried about this swine flu, but I also admit that, as a mother, I am worried about a lot of things with regards to my son.  However, when it is becoming increasingly obvious to me how little I can actually trust the government, there is no chance I can trust them with this vaccine.

An added note:  As I write this, there is a Homeland Security hearing going on regarding the news that came out yesterday that the swine flu vaccine has been slowly distributed and it may not reach all the Americans that want it in time.  This morning on the Fox News Channel, Dr. Marc Siegel pointed out this fact–the government is in charge of the H1N1 vaccine!  Is this a preview of government-run (ineptly) health care?  An excellent article from The Heartland Institute, addressing those concerns, can be found at  http://www.heartland.org/full/26089/H1N1_Vaccine_a_Preview_of_GovernmentRun_Health_Care.html.
