"...that there have yet to be any "strange side effects".
"So people should feel secure with the vaccine,..." - pardon me????????????
Start to THINK, people!
A good read on the subject, with FACTS and not the propaganda the Swedish government is saying: http://www.theflucase.com
Clearly this is an outright lie.
"100 cases of side effects had been reported thus far"
Why even bother reporting anything like this. Just buy some antibiotics as your immune system wears down as a result of this and other vaccinations and you will have bought the whole fish
Stupidity should and shall be painful
Keep away from the vacinated. :)
Funny how that works :)
No researcher has directly exposed test subjects to diseases - it wouldn't be ethical to do so …
No double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have been done to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated people …
Not everyone exposed to a disease develops symptoms - so it's impossible to know if the person would have developed symptoms if he had not been vaccinated, and …
Studies have had no long-term follow-up to determine vaccination effectiveness or identify chronic toxicity.
you are all claiming this and that ...
the facts are every year hundreds of thousands take influenza shots in Sweden every winter ..
so I SEE no difference why this year it should be so HYPED up !!!!
the point is paranoia and the lack of academic approval.
Why is the Media and world governments pushing this vaccine? Why so much attention?
Is it wrong to for people to question this even though they might not be an authority? I think not.
I personally like to read information from Doctors who are experts in their fields, and make my mind up from that.
People should be allowed to have their own opinion and decide for themselves whether or not to take the shot.
I have never been vaccinated and never will.
Investigate what some of these doctors have to day about vaccines
Dr. Russell Blaylock
Dr. Joseph Mercola

It's also interesting that they claim to have had few side effects - Mr Puffin called läkemedelsverket to report his 3 days off work with a bad reaction - only to be told that that they would NOT take his report because his symptoms of
- fever
- severe joint pain
- chills
- headaches
- extreme fatigue
Were normal and expected
So was the 1918 Spanish flu virus before it mutated into a deadly virus.
Just because a flu mutated into a deadly virus doesn't mean that all flu's will mutate into a deadly virus.
No one can predict how a virus will mutate, most virus usually mutate into weaker forms of the virus.
Unless of course it has been engineered to mutate into a deadly virus say when it comes in contact with something else like a vaccine (Hypothetical situation if eugenicists are really behind the pushing of this vaccine as some may claim, I am not claiming this)
Your comment also validates that there is no point taking a vaccine, if the virus mutates it renders the current vaccine useless.
2. England doesn't use the British vaccin sold by Smith Kline
but Sweden, Germany and many other European countries use it. England buys its vaccin from the USA which doesn't have the dangerous substances in it.
3. That the swine flu vaccin used in Sweden is dangerous is also reflected in the 2 deaths it caused in Sweden in the first days of the vaccination campaign. Both persons who died were in the risk group.
In Israel 4 persons died of the vaccine and the Israel stooped vaccinating people.
Many scientific facts on this vaccin can be found at the following sites:
www.mercola.com www.healthresources.com
4. A Canadian report says, those vaccinated against the seasonal flu this year are twice as high risk to catch the
swine flu.
5. If swine flu kills, it kills via pneumonia. To get a pneumonia vaccin is perhaps wise to fight swine flu.
