Swine Flu Vaccine: Is it Safe?

Swine Flu Vaccine: Is it Safe?
September 8, 9:18 AMCleveland Holistic Family Health ExaminerBeth Richards


eYou can't turn on the TV without being warned about, or at the very least, made to feel panicked on some level, about the upcoming potential pandemic from the swine flu. Is the threat real? Don't you wonder why there is SO MUCH coverage about a flu that in reality causes lighter symptoms than the "normal" seasonal flu?

As I watched a Cleveland Noon News channel last Friday, I was amazed to see the lead-in story of a school closing linked to Swine Flu. One student, who hadn't even been to school sick, was out and the school closed. Precautions are ok. Instilling panic in the public is not. Why is this a lead-in story? I can never remember watching the news and hearing about a child getting the flu before! (except possibly a few years ago when the Avian Flu, aka Bird Flu was supposedly going to get us all...remember that? What happened then? Besides the sale of Tamiflu going through the roof) Ok, so one child at a school has the flu and it's front page news. This is insane. We need to wake up and question why we are hearing this as so important.

Like most things in the news, the best advice I've ever heard is "follow the money trail." If there is money to be made from something, and it's being reported heavily in the news, I become suspicious. And there is plenty of money to be made by pharmaceutical companies - hence, the large number of commercials on TV and Ads everywhere else. Think about it. How many times a day, whether you're turning on the TV, radio, internet, reading a magazine..just how many times are you seeing an advertisement for some type of medication. I bet you can subconsciously repeat all the potential side effects that could come from taking XYZ... "symtpoms associated with XYZ include dry mouth, nauseau, and headache... More serious side effects can include... Do not take XYZ if you are at risk for heart disease or .." You get the picture.

It's been reported that not only is the vaccine for swine flu being rushed so fast that even doctors are questioning the safety, in fact, more than half of health workers polled have said they will refuse it. The vaccine can contain potentially dangerous cells that could cause illnesses worse than flu. To note, British officials have already warned neurologists in their country to be on the look out for Guillain-Barre Syndrome after the vaccine begins being used.



Some of the dangers of the H1N1 Vaccine:

Dr. Russell Blaylock indicates that the maker of the vaccine, Baxter, has been involved in two scandals and deadly vaccine incidents.

Potenital danger of the vaccine include mercury and squalene, which has been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

From Dr. Mercola's site:


Now, German lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has come out about even more potential health risks associated with the swine flu vaccine. Interestingly, Dr. Wodarg also holds political office, as the chairman of the health committee in the German parliament and European Council.

According to Dr. Wodarg, the swine flu vaccine contains animal cancer cells, and there’s no data indicating whether or not this may cause an allergic reaction when injected.

It also raises questions about the risk of contracting cancer.

He also told the German press that the widespread fear of the pandemic was an “orchestration,” stating,

“It is great business for the pharmaceutical industry. Swine flu is not very different from normal flu. On the contrary, if you look at the number of cases it is nothing compared to a normal flu outbreak.”

Really, take some time to research this topic yourself. Be careful where you are reading it. Verify the sources. If there is a study cited that is influencing you to get the vaccine or causing you to worry, see who did the study. If it's been done by a drug company, perhaps you might rethink the data as potentially flawed. Find some SCIENCE and look into what vaccines are made from, what is potentially in them, and decide for yourself if it is worth taking the risk.
