I did provide the links: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/11/03/What-We-Have-Learned-About-the-Great-Swine-Flu-Pandemic.aspx http://web.mac.com/rblaylock/Russell_Blaylock_M.D./Swine_Flu_Data.html And in 1976 thirty people died and 500 were crippled and that's why I can't get the vaccine; because those people died. Now granted many people have no (obvious) problem with things like squalene, but many do and some die. So isn't the real question whether or not the risk justifies injecting people with a potentially harmful substance? I don't think it does, but here's another question: Can you explain specifically how this new untested H1N1 vaccine is materially different from the 1976 version? In December 1976 it was decided that the vaccine was more dangerous than the flu it was trying to prevent. Do you think that was a bad call? And either way, what criteria are you using to justify injecting people with these substances? Here's more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Flu_Outbreak The 1976 swine flu outbreak, also known as the swine flu fiasco, or the swine flu debacle, was a strain of H1N1 influenza virus that appeared in 1976. Alarmed public-health officials decided that action must be taken to head off another major pandemic, and they urged President Gerald Ford that every person in the U.S. be vaccinated for the disease. The vaccination program was plagued by delays and public relations problems, but about 24% of the population had been vaccinated by the time the program was canceled. There were reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing neuromuscular disorder, affecting some people who had received swine flu immunizations. One of the causes of this syndrome could be a rare side-effect of modern influenza vaccines, with an incidence of about one case per million vaccinations.[2] As a result, Di Justo writes that "the public refused to trust a government-operated health program that killed old people and crippled young people." In total, less than 33 percent of the population had been immunized by the end of 1976. The National Influenza Immunization Program was effectively halted on December 16. Overall, about 500 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), resulting in death from severe pulmonary complications for 25 people, were possibly caused by an immunopathological reaction to the 1976 vaccine[citation needed]. Other influenza vaccines have not been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome, though caution is advised for certain individuals, particularly those with a history of GBS.[3][4] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
