[News From Underground] News From Underground: Swine flu vaccination in children: One US vaccine’s (Sanofi-Adventis, used at my institution) package insert indicates that adverse reactions to one flu vaccine were evaluated in 2003-4 in (only) 31 children aged 6 through 36 months, and (only) for 3 days after each of two doses. Clearly these data provide little useful information.

[The Married Man] Swine Flu FAQ [H1N1] « The Married Man: A: The product from GlaxoSmithKline, Canada’s sole provider of H1N1 vaccine, called Arepanrix, uses an adjuvant called AS03, which consists of squalene (shark liver oil), DL-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and polysorbate 80 (an emulsifier also used in ice cream). There are claims that squalene, part of the adjuvant used in the anthrax vaccine, was to blame for Gulf War syndrome, but the evidence is weak.

Concerns About Quality of ...: The safety and immunogenicity (effectiveness) of the vaccine are based on testing of other similar vaccines for the H5N1 influenza virus. For example, on "limited immunogenicity data from 2 studies obtained three weeks after administration of a single dose of an investigational formulation of another AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine containing either 5.25 µg or 3.75 µg HA derived from A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) (Pandemrix™) to healthy adults aged 18-60 years."

[Soldier For Liberty] Death by Injection or By Legislation ? « Soldier For Liberty: The H5N1 virus on its own has killed hundreds of people, but it is less airborne and more restricted in the ease with which it can spread. However, when combined with seasonal flu viruses, which as everyone knows are super-airborne and easily spread, the effect is a potent, super-airbone, super deadly biological weapon.

[magicCookie.org] magicCookie.org » Blog Archive » H1N1 Flu Vaccine Information: If scientists in the Czech Republic had not discovered the problem before the contaminated vaccine was released to the public, the vaccine could have CAUSED the very “Bird Flu” pandemic that the world had been told was coming.   This “contamination” was about the most serious breach of safety you can possibly imagine.  So, why wasn’t this story on the front page of every newspaper in the world?  Baxter International is required BY LAW to adhere to Biosafety Level 3 protocols which are there specifically to prevent accidental contamination of this kind.  When Baxter ADMITTED to having contaminated the Seasonal Flu vaccine with the live Bird Flu virus, it claimed that the whole thing had been an “accident” - even though accidents like this one are virtually impossible in their Level 3 Biosafety containment.

[The Big Picture] H1N1 (swine flu) Fatality Rates: Overreaction? | The Big Picture: If people bring the flu to work and spread it around, I am all in favor of docking their pay to cover the subsequent economic outages from the spread of the virus. THAT would make people sit up and pay attention a lot more than any fears of what might improbably happen to them if they should contract the virus, or any groundless fears of what the vaccine might do to them.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC - Fergus On Flu: Seasonal flu vaccine offers 'some protection': The results suggest that the uninfected participants were significantly more likely to have received the seasonal flu vaccine and that it protected them against particularly severe forms of swine flu. However, the authors say the results must be taken in context and argue that given the small sample size "it will be key to conduct similar studies in other settings to confirm or refute our results."

Although there is no data about transmission of the live vaccine virus from vacinees to immune compromised contacts and subsequent development of disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have stated that the inactivated vaccine (flu shot) is preferred over live, intranasal influenza vaccine (FluMist) for physicians, nurses, family members, or anyone else coming in close contact with anyone with a weakened immune system..."
