Better safe than sorry.
50% of doctors in U.K. and 60% of doctors in Italy, many doctors in Turkey, USA, Sweden and other countries refuse to get vaccinated by this swine flu vaccine. Something wrong with their medical education?
Yes askin, in your world Elvis has been kidnapped by aliens and the nazi's have a secret base in antartica. I personally find stories such as that to be funny and interesting, but am dismayed at the number of people who believe such fantasies.
In Sverige two people may have died out of over a million vaccinated. It is still not proven what they died of and they are literally still trying to figure out what happened to them. It may even have been natural caues.
The autopsy reports have not been released yet and it probably will be for about another two weeks before that happens.
That is why I call the journalists who declare the cause to be a vaccine to be liars, as they do not know.
The conspiracy thoerists are not waiting for facts to be presented but are making it up themselves.
It looks like quite a few newspapers are carrying the fabrications, just like the Aftonbladet article on taking organs from dead bodies. Organs from dead bodies are useless for transplant.
Seriously do some learning and reading, before typing imbecilic nonsense.
Some Swedish people read the comments on the local and will be getting the impression that all english speakers in Sweden are deranged fantasists who believe every conspiracy theory ever made up.
Please just stop the nonsense or only comment on American forums were such deranged fantasies are acceptable, expected and normal. Please remember you are commenting in a European forum.
Someday I will meet the editors of the local in a social situation and I intend to let them know in very direct terms how they are making an embassment of all english speakers, by encouraging such obviously mentally ill fabrications and colluding with them, instead of tackling them or deleting them immediately.
Here is some basic books that will help you gain a basic understanding on the subject off biology and related disciplines.
I suggest you buy them, read them and learn from them. Most of them have online access to the latest developments in there chapters. They are well written, concise and easy to read.

the 50% effective thing is based on a small group of people that don't really help in any way !
when a proper study was done the results were vaccinations are completely useless, in fact a placebo was better value !
we only do flu vaccinations because we "know" they work and we will not test to see if they work because we know they do. IE circular reasoning only!
someone tested and found that they don't work at all but they just can't publish that, too many people make money from this quackery.
they found that young people with good immune systems did not need vaccination as it was mostly the wrong guess as to strain in the vaccination and it was like sending ice to the Eskimos (sorry Inuit), did not help one iota.
and older people and with weak immune systems just got sick and did not generate a immune response sufficient to make antibodies, so the long and short of it was flu vaccines are totally meaningless in real terms.
nobody is game to actually do a double blind study (cos we know it works) and if they did they may find a big surprise.

More consipiracy theory.
Since you like quoting USA conspiracy theory. Read some actual proven content from the USA. Ie, not completely fabricated like your sources.

Also post number 3 from myself above yours, applies to you as well.
When you go to a hospital it seems to me these people are just plain stupid, the people injecting u dont even know where to put the needle, had that experience in Sahlgrenkska!! The nurse was like I cant find ur vein and I told her : Give me the needle I will inject myself, Haha. Guess she didnt understand the joke...
Vaccinations are not injected into a vien. To do so would be extremely dangerous for any vaccination.
Following are such serious possible side effects this vaccin
may give, which Ministry of Health of Turkey has outlined in
a memorandum to all the vaccination centres in Turkey. Turkey uses the same vaccin as Sweden.
- serious allergic reactions
- inflammation of the nerves
- Trombositopeni ( serious bleeding in the organs incl. brain and the digestive system) (Users of blood thinning medicines like waran,plavix, trombyl especially beware.)
- Nefrititis (kidney disorder)
- Vasculit
- Convulsion (loosing of consciousness and severe cramps in the muscles)
- Encephalitis (Inflammation of the brain)
- Guillain- Barre syndrom
- Bell paralysis (Paralysis of the facial nerves)
- Demielinisation (loosing of the outer membrane of the nerves)
- Occulorespiratory syndrom (severe breathing difficulties)
reference MILLIYET DAILY 6 Nov 2009 Article "Korkutucu Yan Etkiler" (Frightening Side Effects)
A medical doctor in Turkey entered a coma while being vaccinated with swine flu vaccin and recommends all vaccinations be done only in the hospitals. (Turkish press 6 nov)
Minister of Health of Turkey vaccinated himself but the PM
refused to be vaccinated pointing to the inherent dangers in the vaccin.
Again more conspiracy theory nonsense.
N its Dosage and booster, I think u need to be given a spellin class, Mr Iranian Whacko!!!
No one gets a vaccination in a vein.
