[New Hampshire Public Radio] Flu Vaccine Unpopular Among Pregnant Women | New Hampshire Public ...: As much as I appreciated Kerry Grens segment on pregnant women and Influenza vaccines, and the important public health benefit that could result from this, she missed a major point: One of the reasons to protect pregnant women during the flu season is to also protect the baby after it is born. Flu does the most harm to the very young and the very old, and babies cannot receive immunizations against this until they are 6 mos old.

[APFN.org - American Patriot Friends Network] AVIAN BIRD FLU: A HOAX TO SELL MORE FLU SHOTS: The alarming aspect to this Tamiflu, Vistide and proposed new legal regimes for the ‘vaccine industry,’ is the fact that it all fits, evidently, into a far larger strategy that the Administration seems to have been developing for some time. During the smallpox scare three years ago, the Administration got Republican Congressmen to insert a paragraph into the Homeland Security bill that would give immunity for liability to drug companies who manufacture smallpox vaccine.

[Culture of Life News] H1N1 Flu Surges Onwards, Still Killing Young Adults « Culture of ...: For a professional in pharmaceutical development, however, it is no less true than vaccine promotion - be it performed in the most prestigious journals (like NEJM, The Lancet or BMJ) - is distinguished by a distressing amateurism - to say nothing about latent conflicts of interests. Marked in particular by gross inconsistencies and a rare illogicality, this pro-vaccine amateurism feeds anti-vaccine movements, making every person endowed with a minimum of cultural background and elementary logic able to point out its most blatant failures .

[Love for Life - A strong immune system means protection from disease. A united community presents an impenetrable front against corruption!] Articles & Videos: SPECIAL RED FLAG ALERT: The Swine Flu Scam Part ...: I contend your failure to conduct a full and detailed investigation into this incident, and to make those findings public or to make clear recommendations as to how to prevent a repeat of this incident is not merely a failure to perform your duty as a public servant but evidence of your role in covering up the real origin of the pandemic virus, specifically, in WHO's own reference center. In my criminal charges filed with the Vienna City Prosecutor on April 8th, 2009, I alleged that Baxter deliberately tried to trigger a pandemic with the aim of profiting from it by sealing in advance lucrative contracts to supply a vaccination for the bird flu with the Austrian Health Ministry in 2006, specifically the contract sealed with Austrian Health Minister Maria Rauch-Kallat involved supplying 16 million vaccine shots in the event that WHO declared a bird flu pandemic.

[Aetiology] "Infectious" versus "contagious" disease : Aetiology: "Cancer, however, is not caused by an infectious agent, and therefore is not an infectious or contagious disease. (At best, there is a few trivial exceptions to this, but even that is debateable.)" I'm going to guess that you have never heard of Helicobacter pylori.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Fourth Annual Movie-Plot Threat Contest: "ODS behavior is easily recognized by erratic ranting, baseless accusations and deep-seated paranoia regarding an elected official at the highest level of the federal government," said a CDC spokesperson who spoke on condition of anonymity. At first, the CDC believed that only radio talk show hosts suffered from ODS but recent events have demonstrated that the syndrome can affect anyone with a public forum such as a governor and a history of mental illness.

[BabyCenter: MOMformation] BabyCenter: MOMformation » Blog Archive » I'm scared to vaccinate ...: Since 2001, no new vaccine licensed by FDA for use in children has contained thimerosal as a preservative and all vaccines routinely recommended by CDC for children under six years of age have been thimerosal-free, or contain only trace amounts, except for some formulations of influenza vaccine. Unfortunately, we have not seen reductions in the numbers of children identified with autism indicating that the cause of autism is not related to a single exposure such as thimerosal.

[Pharyngula] Maher really is a moron on medicine : Pharyngula: The deadly H5N1 strain was mixed with the less harmful H3N2 subtype of the seasonal flu virus, and was detected after it killed test animals in a lab in the Czech Republic. Though the serious consequences were avoided by the lab in the Czech Republic, Baxter claimed the failed controls over the distribution of the virus were 'stringent' and there was 'little chance' of the lethal virus harming humans, apart from its deadly effect.”

[Orange Juice] SAUSD related news & links | Orange Juice: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that the most at-risk populations receive the H1N1 vaccine first. Those populations include pregnant women, healthcare workers, parents and caregivers for children under 6 months old, people ages 6 months to 24 years, and those ages 25 through 64 with chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
