From Dr. Boyd Haley, professor and chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky: "A single vaccine given to a six pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180 pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day." "You couldn't construct a study to show that thimerosal (mercury in vaccines) is safe. It's just too damn toxic".
From a website promotion for a DVD entitled Shoot 'Em Up the Documentary, comes this information. "Did you know that we give children 23 viruses before they reach the age of 5? Did you know autism skyrocketed after the addition of more vaccines on the mandatory schedule and did you know that these vaccines contain thimerosal, which is ethyl mercury?" By the way, mercury is considered more toxic than lead and second in toxicity only to uranium.
Most vaccines are cocktails of pathogens from cultures derived from aborted fetuses or animal tissues. Thimerersol or ethyl mercury is not the only additive or preservative. Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, lists the ingredients common to vaccines, with some of her own comments, including, "If children receive all recommended vaccines, they will receive many times the supposed 'allowable safe limit' for mercury in the first two years of life.
Additional ingredients include antibiotics, aluminum gels, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), aluminum "which when combined with silicon deficiency and fluoride, results in the neurofibrillary tangles seen in Alzheimers disease, formaldehyde, MSG," a potent neurological excitotoxin which, like aspartame, can cause seizures, brain tumors, etc.
Dr. Rima goes on: "Squalene, a response enhancer or adjuvant, is present in many modern vaccines and is highly irritating to the immune system. . . . (used in) Anthrax vaccine in Gulf War I soldiers is believed by many to be a primary cause, along with depleted uranium, of the devastating condition known as Gulf War Syndrome".

But, if you take the flu shot, you also need to miss work, at least half a day, and since a lot of people are going to have side effects like "Around 200 reports of people suffering side effects after receiving the vaccine have so far been reported to the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket).", this means that by taking the vaccine, you may also have to miss work, 1-2, even 3 days.
Since they want to vaccinate all the medical staff, this means that nurses and doctors will be missing work because of side effects. We are talking about 1 out of 10.
Worst, it doesn't mean that you are vaccinated that you won't get the H1N1 flu.
"Distributed for peer review last week, the study confounded infectious-disease experts in suggesting that people vaccinated against seasonal flu are twice as likely to catch swine flu." Source http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=15516
The pro-vaccination say that we have to protect the old people who are sick, but it looks like they are just killing them with the vaccine. They suspect that the vaccine may be to strong, but the still want to give it to pregnant women.
Is it just me or this world is becoming insane?
This flu is man made (it has genetic material from swineflu, birdflu and seasonal flu, which means that it cannot be created in nature do to the way a virus replicates itself). The vaccine for this man made flu was patented in August 2008 7 months before the Swineflu emerged as an entirely natural, new flu.
This flu is also less deadly than seasonal flu due to the fact it misses a certain protein that is common to all killer flu's. This protein is very important if the flu is going to become deadly. If you want the research to back this up go to www.cmef.eu and read the science (though it's 60% in swedish).
If the vaccine is so safe then WHY is the German parliament and military being given a different vaccine to the rest of the population?
Baxter corporation (making the vaccine) have admitted on a radio show (link to which is on cmef.eu's homepage) that they are using the human population as guinea pigs and tracking 9000 of those who tack the vaccine.
Finally if this vaccine is so neccessary then why do we need to be told that it is neccessary, why are there fear campaigns? If this vaccine was really neccessary then the swine flu would speak for itself.
It makes me think... For instance, I have over 100 friends on Facebook. Lets assume that if one of them or their relatives or friends have had the H1N1 flu, I am pretty sure I would have heard of it.
How come, if the H1N1 virus is so dangerous, so virulent, so "pandemical", I don't know anyone who have had the flu?
I am also a major conspiracy theorist,but I believe the powers that be are plotting against THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. Population control. Research plans with the African Union and fastest growing economies in the world. I believe the vaccine is made to work. On those whose governments can afford to get their hands on it.
the VACCINE should be Taken in my opinon..
I would love the editor of the Local to answer that?
Why does the Local encourage comments from the deranged?
why are there so many sheep on The Local? Can't you just think by yourself and stop calling your governemnt "mommy"?
Most of the sheeple get all the information from TV and Newspapers and that is their basis of their knowledge.
Because sheeple all watch the same TV shows and read the same newspapers they form the same conclusions, they are subconsciously programmed and don't even realise, and consider those who like to find out things for themselves "Conspiracy Theorists" .
The people who like to find alternative sources of information are more clued into what is really going on in the world. The more you study and look into things you will realise just how far gone this world is and is going.
BTW, why are you all so angry, nobody forces you to take the vaccine if you really don't want to?
But to be fair, I am also putting the blame on the scientists and governments, not for "creating" the virus or having some secret deals but for lack of transparent and easily understanble explanations.
It is another example of miscommunication from their parts. Instead of either not saying anything (and let the journalist spread whichever news has the most selling power (BTW, it is really funny that after being mostly responsible for the "fear campaign " as someone said, they are now blaming everybody else for it) or just say "trust us" , they should have explained in simple terms the causes and consequences of taking or not taking the vaccine. Then it would be up to everyone to make their own rational decision.
also on the Aftonbladet and even on Lakarmedlverket, so what is your point?
that SANOFI (French pharma industry) invested $ 250-300 million and built a vaccin production lab in Mexico 6 months before the first swine flu virus appeared in the world, in Mexico. How did they know that the swine flu virus would first appear in Mexico??? A virus which was constructed in the lab first and did not originally exist in the nature.
Sanofi and Baxter are all reported to the FBI and also U:N: and WHO for supporting them, said the article.
A big tribunal must be set up against these pharma industries and the guilty must be properly punished.
This case is just as serious as the after WW2 tribunal or the tribunal against the Yugoslav leaders who made massacres.
Thank you thelocal.se for this possibility to bring up to the surface such important world problems.
Thanks also to Osokin, Ozpot, sebseb, törnrosa for their important comments. This swine influenza case is just as important as a ww.
2 recorded deaths,5 rather serious side effects(judged by need for hospitalisation),200 cases of reported side effects.
But how can we judge the significance of these figures without knowing number of those vaccinated?
would suggest some sort of preferential facts giving.
miss V, I think people should question everything their government does. To convince others one has to present a strong case backed by solid evidence. The fact that a French multinational opened a factory in Mexico means nothing. If you go over the Mexican border there are factories from European, Asian, US/Canadian, etc, etc. companies. I always question motives and outcomes, but you should not believe something with such flimsy evidence backing it up. And then when these said believers call others stupid or unintelligent for not believing the same thing backed by the flimsy evidence it just alienates them further. By all means question authorities and corporations, but be willing to change your point of view if you are overwhelmingly disproved. This also means questioning the Swedish government. I see a lot of criticism of the US government, but almost none of the Swedish government. If there is an article about something the Swedish government did, the conversation usually quickly turns to the reason that it is America's fault somehow. I don't see how that is valid criticism.
nothing you read is academic studied or approved .
the fact is the influenza shot every one is blabbing on about is no different than the one most elderly people take every winter !!
the difference is the swine flu spreads quicker and is more dangerous than the previous flues.
so taking a shot for the first time ain't going to turn you into an Alien from space.
every one should be pleased Sweden is giving it to everyone for freee!!!!
peace.
Are you disputing the below facts?
a)Swine flu virus was constructed in the lab and then was let to outside. It did not exist in the nature before. Who let it go out of hand to the nature and infect people? Is this not a crime?
b) SANOFI invested $ 250-300 to build a factory in Mexico just to produce the swine flue vaccin 6 months before the first swine flu casze appeared in Mexico- as the first time
in the world and caused an epidemi.
c) An American journalist reported to the FBI, Sanofi and Baxter and also UN and WHO for supporting them. (ref an article in www.thesop.org - "Journalist reporting U.N." etc.
You can find this article in their index.
How did Sanofi know the first swine flu case and epidemi
would start in Mexico and built a plant to produce the vaccin
there ? If they built the plant after the epidemi start in Mexico, I agree with you, but they built the vaccination plant 6 months prior to the epidemi in Mexico.
The amount the three swine flu vaccin producers will make as profit (Sanofi, Baxter, Smuth Kline) is estimated to be 49 billion. hard to match this amount by useful medicines, in a world of economic crisis where people don\t have enough money
to buy food / let alone expensive medicines. But, these industries are not selling the vaccin to people, but to the governments and with agreements (first time in the history)
that they accept no responsibility if the vaccin harms people!!!
Business is business / useful medicines or harmful ones...
Please read www.dr.mercola.com and www.healthresources.com for details on the swineflu vaccin. My doctor in Sweden recommends it to me, but he won\t have it himself / like 50%
doctors in U.K. who refused to have themselves vaccinated with this vaccin.
Two Swedes died after this vaccin in Sweden in the first week
of its application in Sweden. More are anticipated to die.
There are many evidences that more children and adults died of the seasonal flu vaccin than the seasonal flu itself.
Is this what you call beneficial medicines?
The bottom line is: I myself don't trust ANYONE. I question everyone and everything and always ask the second opionion-as much as I can of course. I have one life and will not allow someone destroying it, because government didn't give me my life, but my parents. But of course, I don't think others are idiots if they don't have suspicious personallity.
Well put, thank you very much for your answer.
Are the parliamets too weak to investigate this and punish the guilty and prevent the re-occurence of such corruptions?

@ askin-
I can only assume there is ONE reason that no one pursucutes the guilty parties of negligance (at the very least) Too many people have been dominated by one voice in the media, and when idependant science and health officals (as well as "whistle blowers") have evidence of some foul play going on, most people simply ignore it because they feel overwhelmed.
I usually stick to the facts that most people can "accept" as fact, and fact number one is that the insert for the vaccine has stated that this is not an effective nor recommended drug for people within the WHO declared "risk group"; that all vaccinations have bad track record and at best are ineffective at WORST deadly, and that WHO had lowered the standards for what is a "pandemic" in the last 8 months.
NO one can dispute these claims are "conspiracy theories" thus, perhaps they will look into the so called "conspiracies" and get some information which actually makes some sense.. I see lots of possiblity for enlightenment as long as people choose what they know to be sound and logical, and break free of the WHO/CDC/AMERICAN dominated media..
Our own country we have people who work for WHO who also are strong vaccination advocates.. possibly because they have a vested interest in it. These people are not looking at the situation with logic but with "towing the line" they are not really worth listening to in spite of their years of "experience".
