[[Maybe I missed something, but why are we fearing this shot?]]
“Jordan is among the first people in the nation to report developing the potentially life-threatening muscle disorder after receiving the H1N1 vaccine this fall. “
And how many tens of millions of people have been vaccinated already? And only 1 case of possible flu-shot related GB has been reported and people are panicking abotu the shot ‘causing GB’? My neighbor got GB two weeks ago FROM THE FLU- she had not been vaccinated with the swine flu shot- The flu developed into pneumonia, and then into GB whiel she was i nthe hospital being treated for the pneumonia- Had she had the swine flu shot, her reaction to the flu would have been much milder, and there’s a good chance she wouldn’t have got GB- but you can’t tell people htis- they want to blame the ‘govnent sponsored’ flu shot which was alledgedly ‘rushed through’ (even htough they’ve been givign the shot out since last April, and NO cases of GB were declared until ONE case just recently)
Why is that so many desire a vaccine for relatively minor problems? Swine flu isn’t going to kill any more people than regular flu. From what I’ve read, it’s going to kill considerably less.
I’ve gotten the flu a time or two. BFD.
Just keeping facts straight: “So far, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have received five reports of GBS in people who received the H1N1 vaccine since Oct. 6, not including Jordan’s case, said Dr. Claudia J. Vellozzi, deputy director for immunization safety.” (From this article’s excerpt itself) - Just so you know. ;-) Of course that’s only confirmed cases from vaccinated people from Oct.6 - in many cases, I’ve read, GBS is rare enough to be a difficult diagnosis ...
READ THE ARTICLE ..you missed two important statements:
1)So far, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have received five reports of GBS in people who received the H1N1 vaccine since Oct. 6, not including Jordan’s case, said Dr. Claudia J. Vellozzi, deputy director for immunization safety.
AND
2) So far, CDC officials have received about 1,700 reports of adverse events linked to the new shot, Vellozzi said. Of those, only about 4 percent, or 68, were coded as serious. That’s on par with reports regarding seasonal vaccine.
