Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease...

just for the record, there isn't one medicine nor vitamin that does not have the potential to harm someone....not one.....

so it is with the flu vaccine....

personally, the big money health agencies and the sappy SCM like to have a "crisis" and the swine flu is it...it was a bust last year but maybe now they'll get their act together and really scare the hell out of us....

I'd like a breakdown of the 500 deaths.....I would bet many and probably most fall into chronic disease categories.... people that were severely compromised already....

look, I take a flu shot every year.....I'm not scared of it but neither am I scared of the flu.....

“vitamin d” isn’t really a vitamin, is it?.....

"risk of getting GBS are greater after getting certain types of food poisoning, such as campylobacter, than from this flu vaccine."

that is probably so true....and people are eating more chicken cooked in different ways....one hopes its prepared and cooked safely.....

It is more like a hormone.

Also, it was shown that kids in Arizona, I believe, were still deficient in D even with relatively generous sun exposure year round. It still wasn’t enough. Not sure about full-time nudists in Florida. Taking D3 supplements makes more sense for most of us. I take 2,000 IU/day, but the injectable form can be up to at least 50,000 IU, given weekly.

Most, I would think. Obesity seems to be a very significant factor as well. But at least some people succumbing to death through this flu have seemed perfectly healthy beforehand. Young, healthy, prime of life... dead.

Depends on the disease. Some strains of flu can be truly terrifying. If we get the wrong recipe, we could be in for a very bad time.

If you want to get over your complacency in regard to transmissible diseases, spend a bit of time reading about myxomatosis. Look at the pattern of major flu epidemic recurrence. Think about how quickly this particular flu has gone global. Look at an online simulation of a flu epidemic. Read about the highly-lethal bird flu in Asia. And consider the possibilities.

In a myxomatosis-type scenario, or even anything REMOTELY resembling it, we would also be faced with a complete and total collapse of society. Electricity and other utilities, the food supply, civil order, ALL would completely collapse...
