Doctors are being urged to watch for cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare nerve disorder, as the new swine flu vaccine is introduced in October.
Guillain-Barre syndrome which attacks the nervous system and can cause paralysis and death is linked to infections like flu but it has also been suggested a previous swine flu vaccine had caused cases of the disease in America in the 1970s.
American officials rushed out a vaccine in 1976 following an outbreak of swine flu in military barracks. Around 40million people received the vaccine but doctors reported an increase Guillain-Barre and 25 people had died before the immunisation programme was stopped.
It is not known for sure whether the vaccine or the flu was responsible and the current H1N1 swine flu jabs due to be introduced in Britain in October are very different to the version used thirty years ago, Government scientists have said.
However specialist doctors here are being urged to report every case of Guillain-Barre syndrome to the Health Protection Agency so the circumstances of each patient can be investigated.
Sources told the Daily Telegraph that experts are not expecting to spot any cases linked to the vaccinations. They added that because Guillain-Barre can be caused by infections like flu, the new programme may in fact establish that vaccinations actually protect against the syndrome.
The syndrome affects around 1,500 people a year in the Britain.
A Health Protection Agency spokesman said enhanced surveillance was “routine” when introducing a new vaccine and all manner of potential side effects are monitored. More than 13 million people in Britain,

No shot for me. I’ll take my chances.
There is going to be a forced vaccination program just like in Britain. I pray the Americans will stand up to the thugs that try to innoculate them. This vaccination is very dangerous.
I just got over some kind of flu. I ended up in the hospital emergency room a week ago Sunday sick as a dog. They said it was too late to give me the tamiflu because I had been throwing up for more then 24hrs. But they did gave me two shots, one for pain and one to help stop me from throwing up any more. My head hurt worse then it has ever hurt in my life. And I’ve had migraine head aches the size of Texas before but this was worse. And it lasted for a whole week.
I’m just now getting back on my feet. I don’t know if it was H1N1 or what? They took blood tests and chest X rays and said I had the flu but didn’t say what kind so I guess I will still have to take both shots since they didn’t tell me what flu I had.
After that I don’t want any more flu! Give me the shots! Can’t wait to take the shots!
From what I heard and read, they are using adjuvants called squalene some kind of oil that acts as a simulation or clone of immune response. The clone works against the immune system. They anticipate like in 1976, heartattacks, sudden deaths, spontaneous abortions, and Gillaume Barre the autoimmune disease.
I heard them say Gillaume Barre will be a signal. I did’t understand that. Listen below to the whole thing and you tell me what they mean by SIGNAL.
Gerald Ford was, at least, a BENIGN doofus for buying into the CDC epidemic-du-jour of 1976. The Kenyan, and the now-highly politicised CFC, can make no such claim.
CDC, not CFC. My apologies for the typo, Cowgirl!
In the olden days of 1976, Swine Flu killed ONE person; the Swine Flu Vaccine killed Twenty-five. Pay your money and take your chance.
My mother got Gullian-Barre from the 1976 flu shot. She survived many months in the hospital and physical therapy. Her right leg was pernamently paralized.
In 1985 when my wife went quad the Neurologist was asking about her recent shots. Two persons were in the hospital at that time with Gullian-Barre. Her’s turned out to be Transverse Myelitis likely Polio Relapse In origin. It hit at C-5 C-6 and hit the Myelin {sp} as well but did not effect her respiratory like Gullian-Barre.
Because 40 million were innoculated against it.
