Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease...
Mail Online ^ | 8/16/09 | Jo Macfarlane

Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America

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. The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine.

for Pete's sake...

Leter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:

More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
- 500 cases of GBS were detected.
- The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
- The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
- The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.

Do you have any sources for the numbers you state?

The info is available on the NIH website.

I think I heard that the vaccine manufacturers and the government are immune to lawsuits with this latest swine flu vaccine - a BIG RED FLAG!

GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively... Death is caused by paralysis of the respiratory system, causing the victim to suffocate.

Yeah, I want a "swine flu" vaccine that increases the risk of death from GBS respiratory paralysis and God knows what other side effects! Where do I sign up for this miracle medical marvel?

But, hey it's OK that 13 million Americans are supposed to get the "first round" of shots beginning in October. Why? Because the government says it's safe! Plus, they've already warned neurologists to be on high alert for GBS cases from the vaccine! I feel much better now!

This situation clearly demonstrates that the Gubmint would do an outstanding job of determining what treatments and medications are the safest and most effective for my family, friends and all Americans (even illegals!)!

Yes, I am being sarcastic. And, no way in h*** would I allow my family within 100 miles of that vaccine.

In November of 1970, in basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC, I was administered a swine flu vaccine, which was manufactured from a partially killed virus. On Thanksgiving day, several days after getting the shot, I was admitted to the hospital with a temp of 105. A few days before and after my admission several people from my platoon also became ill with similar symptoms. At one time we had 40% of that platoon hospitalized.

Treatment included bed “rest”, aspirin, and freezing cold showers, and I maintained a temp of at least 104 for 7 days. I was in the hospital for 10 days. While hospitalized I developed secondary respiratory infections. I broke in to a medicine locker and stole 250mg ampicillin caps, started the regime, and was discharged back to duty on the 10th day.
At Ft. Bragg, 1 year almost to the day after my first flu shot, I was ordered by my first sergeant to go get another shot. I pretended to do so, and that was the last flu shot I’ve ever had.
I’m 61 years old now, and have had the flu twice - maybe three times since 1970. Never have I been sick as I was from that swine flu shot, and I always refuse to get another one.

Having researched the issue, I am NEVER touching a flu vaccine.

I’m taking vitamins A,C,D3, which seem to have promising antiviral properties, and also 5000mcg B-12 as it seems to have a variety of useful anti-disease properties. I also started taking L-Glutamine as part of an exercise regime and found that it gives me a good kind of internal energy. I’ve since found that it gives your cells energy and helps fight disease.

But there is no doubt in my mind that at least one of the two major vaccine producers are owned by anti-populationist “liberals” like Ted Turner.

Screw that vaccine, I won't be getting it and neither will anyone in my family. You want flu protection?

Here it is:

In 2006, Dr. John Cannell (Staff Psychiatrist at Atascadero State Hospital, California) and colleagues published a paper showing evidence that lower vitamin D blood levels during the winter can account for the increased transmissibility of the influenza virus among children and adults. Studies have proven that Vitamin D stimulates the immune system and disease-fighting cells, called macrophages and T cells. The cells create proteins that have antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Further, we know that macrophages and T cells have vitamin D receptors (VDRs) on them, enhancing their functions.

Dr. Cannell noted that patients in his psychiatric ward who took 2,000 IU of Vitamin D did not get the flu, while the patients in other wards (who did not take Vitamin D) did. The patients intermingled with each other so cross exposure was certain. The study demonstrated that Vitamin D supplementation could prevent one from developing the flu.


And if anyone wants any 'sources', they can Google it up.

Meanwhile, start taking 2000 IU of Vitamin D a day, I suggest 1000 in the morning and 1000 in the evening.

My mother lived paralyzed with this horrible disease for the last 9 years of her life. We don’t know how she got it, but she was completely paralyzed for a long time, then she was able to walk with a walker, but not very well. She died of a heart attack at 60 years old. I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone.

No one in my family will be getting this vaccine.

I have a cousins who got it from a flu shot. She’s still not normal years later. No way in hell will I or my family take any flu shot!

It’s an interesting thing. For twenty-odd years in the Air Force....I had the yearly flu shot. You couldn’t avoid...they kept computerized records. I probably a dozen bouts with the flu over the twenty year period. Some were to lay me up for three or four days.

So when I finally retired in 99...I vowed never to take the shot again. I haven’t had a single flu shot. Other than three or four stomach flu episodes (lasting a day each)...I haven’t had a single case of the flu since 99.

I have no interest in any vaccine.

That makes me wonder if she got it from a flu shot. My mother got GBS in 1990. When did it happen to your cousin?

I wonder if taking Vitamin D before you were given the vaccine would help prevent any of the side effects? My daughters are both in the Navy and will most likely be required to get this vaccine. I’m more than a little concerned for them.

In 1976 I had been ordered by the USAF to take the swine flue vaccine the government had developed just prior too goingon duty for my evening shift.This was in the middle of December and it was damned cold in New Hampshire that night.

Anyway about an hour after going on duty my temperature began to soar,actually I was burning up from the fever and freezing from the cold weather all at the same time.

After getting off duty the following morning I went back to the dorm and slept for 24 hours straight.The fever finally started to break.

I swore to myself that I would never get another vaccine manufactured by and for the Government.

Needless to say more people became I’ll because of the vaccine than became I’ll from the actual swine flue virus.

My husband took the 'swine flu' shot in '76 and started coming down with the clear symptoms of Guillain Barre....

...thank goodness it was short lived, maybe 24 hours....but it scared him good.

Honestly, I can’t remember exactly. Heard from my mother (cousin lives in another State) 10 or so years ago that she got it after having a flu shot. It almost completely paralyzed her for a while and slowly deminished but not completely. Still has problems using one arm and both hands.... No one in the family will have a flu shot now....
