Queens Schoolchildren Complain After Swine Flu Shots

MYFOXNY.COM – It was a panicky scene at P.S. 124 in South Ozone Park, Queens, Monday when some students complained of headaches after getting the swine flu vaccination.

After one or two children said they felt sick, apparently more children swamped the nurse’s office, officials said.

The Health Department told Fox 5 that the school called 911 in an abundance of caution. Three children were taken to Jamaica Hospital for headaches, dizziness, and nausea. One of the children complaining of symptoms hadn’t even gotten the vaccine.

However, school and health officials point out that it is not uncommon for people to have minor reactions to any vaccination, including the swine flu shot.

H1N1: décès en Montérégie

Une femme de 42 ans est décédée mardi soir des complications de la grippe A(H1N1), en Montérégie.

La dame était en bonne santé, mais elle souffrait d’un problème d’asthme léger.

Elle avait été hospitalisée le 30 octobre dans un centre de la région puis transférée dans un hôpital montréalais. Les symptômes grippaux s’étaient manifestés la veille seulement.

La victime travaillait au service informatique de l’Hôpital Anna-Laberge de Châteauguay. Elle n’était toutefois pas en contact avec des patients.

Elle avait été vaccinée deux jours avant son hospitalisation, mais l’immunité du vaccin se développant au cours des 10 premiers jours après avoir reçu la dose, elle n’était pas protégée.

Il s’agit du premier décès relié au virus dans cette région depuis le début de la deuxième vague de la grippe. Au cours des deux derniers mois, 132 personnes ont été hospitalisées en Montérégie, dont 13 dans un état jugé sévère.

C’est le troisième décès à survenir au Québec depuis le 30 août. Une femme de 85 ans de Québec et une autre de 26 ans de Gatineau ont également été foudroyées par la grippe A(H1N1).

Så påverkas din kropp av vaccinet

BIVERKNINGAR AV VACCINET

Vanliga:
o Ömhet, rodnad och smärta vid injektionsstället och i armen.
o Influensasymtom av typen feber, frossa, trötthet.
o Huvudvärk av lite kraftigare karaktär.
o Värk i kroppen och allmän sjukdomskänsla.
Mindre vanliga:
o Illamående.
o Kräkningar.
o Magont.
o Diarré.
o Yrsel.
o Utslag.
o Sömnlöshet.
Sällsynta:
o Påverkan av nervsystemet genom att antikroppar som bildas också angriper kroppens egen nervvävnad. Det kan leda till tillfällig förlamning, som i de allra flesta fall går tillbaka med eller utan behandling.
Hur många som  drabbats:
o Mer än 200 rapporter om biverkningar har lämnats in till läkemedelsverket. Ytterligare 500 rapporter har lämnats in av privatpersoner.
o 37 patienter har fått allergiska reaktioner som bedömts haft en koppling till vaccinet.
15 av dem har ansetts vara allvarliga.
o Totalt är det drygt 20
rapporter om allvarliga biverkningar som kommit in till läkemedelsverket.
Kommentar från Annika Linde, Smittskyddsinstitutet:
o ”Vi har inte sett några allvarliga biverkningar i någon högre grad hittills. Biverkningsgraden är som förväntat utifrån de förstudier som gjorts.”

VILKA SKA INTE TA VACCIN?

 

Du som är sjuk:
o Du som har en pågående infektionssjukdom, exempelvis med feber eller luftvägsinfektion, ska vänta med vaccineringen tills några dagar efter att du har blivit frisk.
Du som är mycket allergisk mot ägg:
o Om du kan vaccinera dig
eller inte beror på hur allergisk du är. Din läkare kan bedöma om du kan vaccineras eller inte. Det finns ett annat typ av vaccin, Celvapan, som inte köpts in till Sverige. Det innehåller inga tillsatser och är ett cellbaserat vaccin vilket innebär att även äggallergiker kan ta det.
Du som har lämnat prov och vet säkert att du redan haft svininfluensan:
o Om du inte har lämnat prov kan du inte veta helt säkert om du haft svininfluensan och rekommenderas därför att  vaccinera dig. Du som har lämnat prov och fått bekräftat att du haft svininfluensan är immun och behöver inte vaccinera dig. Det är inte farligt att
ta vaccinet även om du redan har haft svininfluensan.
Källa: Vardguiden.se

NÄR BÖRJAR DET VERKA?

Så många dagar/ veckor tar det innan du har fullt skydd.
o En till två veckor. Det kan vara individuellt, vissa har snabbare immunsystem än andra.
Dröjer det olika länge för olika grupper?
o För de som har haft en likartad influensa tidigare, framför allt äldre människor, går det snabbare att bygga upp immunförsvaret. Då har man en grundimmunitet att bygga vidare på.
o För barn tar det längre tid. Kroppen börjar reagera på vaccinet omgående, men man har inte ett fullgott skydd förrän efter ungefär två veckor.
Hur vanligt är det att man får svininfluensa efter vaccin?
o Man kan smittas under de första dagarna, men i nuläget finns inga uppgifter på hur
vanligt det är. Enligt Annika Linde kan vi dock räkna med att många kommer att insjukna
efter det att de fått vaccinet men innan det hunnit verka och ger fullgott skydd.
Hur länge är man skyddad?
o Vanligt influensavaccin ger skydd i nio månader. Det här vaccinet anses vara bättre men man vet inte exakt hur länge det ger skydd. Tester ska göras för att följa hur antikroppsnivåerna sjunker och utifrån det ska längden på skyddet avgöras.
Hur säkert är skyddet?
o Mer än 95 procent. Det är en jättebra siffra, för det finns inget vaccin som egentligen ger ett hundraprocentigt skydd efter en spruta.
Källa: Annika Linde, Smittskyddsinstitutet.

HUR LÄNGE SITTER DET I?

Vilka grupper behöver ta två doser?
o Barn 3–12 år. De har inte mött liknande virus tidigare och har inget immunförsvar för detta.
o De som tillhör riskgruppen med sänkt immunförsvar, de som till exempel har hiv eller får cellgifter. Två doser behövs på grund av det nedsatta immunförsvaret.
Vilka grupper behöver inte ta en andra dos?
o Gravida.
o Friska från 13 år och uppåt.
o Riskgruppspatienter med friskt immunförsvar.
Vid vilken tidpunkt ska man ta andra dosen?
o Det ska gå minst tre veckor mellan det första och andra  vaccinationstillfället. Under den tiden hinner immunförsvaret landa ordentligt. Man kan vänta längre tid innan man tar den andra dosen, upp till sex månader.

H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Deaths Being Reported All Over Europe

Normally people do not drop dead after taking a vaccine. More commonly, the adverse effects of taking a vaccine take a while to show up, as only later victims develop autism, dementia, neurological disorders, paralysis, infertility or cancer (among a wide variety of other conditions). However, numerous reports are now coming in from all over Europe of people becoming seriously ill and even dropping dead after getting injected with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

*In Sweden, there have been over 350 reported serious adverse reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, and there have been five people who have died there after taking the vaccine.  Reportedly there is now a media blackout on reporting any additional deaths from the swine flu vaccine as the authorities do not want to discourage people from getting the vaccine.

*In Northern Ireland, a 15-year-old boy fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death less than 24 hours after receiving the swine flu vaccine.

*A 64 year old woman in Hungary recently dropped dead two days after she received the swine flu vaccine.

*The Flu Case website is reporting on other deaths from the swine flu vaccine in Europe, but so far those reports have not been confirmed.

In addition, on our sister site Bird Flu Pandemic, our readers have been reporting numerous horror stories regarding the swine flu vaccine…..

Pina:

my daughter is a nurse. She was at another clinic as a patient one day after H1N1 vaccines started. The staff there let her know that one man collapsed after getting the shot. A nurse that she went to school with had the vaccine and her arm went partially paralyzed. The feeling came back into her arm slightly and now she is in sheer pain.  Don’t get the H1N1 shot, or flu shots if you haven’t.please.

Ann:

My friend was diagnosed w/GBS today. She had the H1N1 vaccine on Tuesday. She woke up friday morn. with one side of her face paralized, now almost her whole face is paralized. She is starting blood and plasma transfusions tonight. She will be transferred to Barnes hospital soon for more extensive testing. To those who laugh at the severity of this strange, unknown sickness and vaccine I hope you stay informed and not ignorant.

Carrie:

I am a healthcare employee…..the only vaccine offered to employees was the live vaccine. I decided to get it and be the “guinea pig” instead of my toddler. Received the nasal spray on Tuesday, woke up Wednesday with a sore throat and stuffy nose, Thursday had a terrible chest congestion/cough with fever and splitting headache, Friday all symptoms were worse and I couldn’t breathe! I was diagnosed on Friday with H1N1 and pneumonia….. good thing I got the vaccine, huh?

The reality is that the swine flu vaccine is untested and unsafe.  The vaccine manufacturers have been given blanket immunity by Congress so you cannot sue them if something goes wrong.  There are going to be many more serious side effects and many more deaths from the swine flu vaccine.  Make sure that your family is not the next vaccine horror story.

Polish PM: Poland not buying swine flu vaccination unless it has been properly tested

WARSAW, Poland – Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Friday that his government won’t buy vaccines for swine flu that have not been properly tested or from producers who won’t take responsibility for possible side effects.

Tusk told reporters that vaccine producers were pressuring governments to buy, but were also demanding that all responsibility and compensation for possible negative side effects fall upon government shoulders.

“Today we are dealing with great pressure from pharmaceutical firms … we are dealing with expectations that hundreds of millions of zlotys (dollars) will be spent on vaccine while no one wants to guarantee that it has no side effects,” he said.

He stressed that the few dozen swine cases in Poland have been mild and no deaths have been reported.

Some independent health experts have been advising vaccination after a recent surge in flu cases in neighbouring Ukraine saw more than 700,000 cases and 109 deaths of people with flu-like illness in recent weeks.

Fourteen of the fatalities were swine flu cases, Polish news agency PAP reported, citing Ukraine’s chief doctor Oleksandr Bilovol.

Polish health officials said a military medical laboratory in Pulawy was testing samples taken in Ukraine from sick people. Poland is also sending face masks to Ukraine.

On Thursday, the World Health Organization said that the swine flu virus has become the predominant flu strain worldwide.

In some countries, swine flu accounts for up to 70 per cent of the flu viruses being sampled, according to Dr. Keiji Fukuda, WHO’s top flu official.

While most people recover from the illness without needing medical treatment, officials are also continuing to see severe cases in people under 65 – people who are not usually at risk during regular flu seasons.

Quebec Woman Dies After H1N1 Vaccine

*How convenient. She dies of swine flu two days after receiving the vaccine. It must be an incredible coincidence.*

A 42-year-old Quebec woman has died from complications resulting from the H1N1 virus.

It is the third death in the province since September.

The woman, who worked at the Monteregie Health and Social Services Centre, died Tuesday night.

Public health officials said the woman was not a nurse or front line worker who was in contact with patients.

She had also received the H1N1 vaccination on Oct. 29, two days before coming down with symptoms of the flu.

More Cover-Ups in Ukraine: WHO Withholds Gene Sequences As Cases Double Again

After infected cases double again in the Ukraine plague approaching the
1 million mark, the World Health Organization (WHO) is holding back gene sequences which could provide evidence of the mutation or recombination of the H1N1 or novel virus.

The numbers of cases from the latest update from Ukraine total 910, 640 hospitalized and Influenza cases (including acute respiratory illess). A total of 135 people have die according to official statistics.

The number of cases in Ukraine continues to expand. The number of patients with H1N1 symptoms is now approaching 1 million. Cases have been increasing at almost 200,000 per day, so it is likely that tomorrow’s report will have over 1 million cases. This rapid spread increases concern that the 15 sequences at Mill Hill contain one or more of these small changes, which has led to a delay in the announcement of sequence results.

More detail on the sequences at Mill Hill is overdue. The rapid spread of H1N1 in Ukraine demands rapid sequence results. Continued delay will only raise speculations and concerns.

VACCINE OPPONENTS IN THE UKRAINE TO BE ARRESTED

 

Critics in the Ukraine of vaccines are to be prosecuted by the government under criminal laws, according to a report from Interfax Ukrainia Agency.

The report says the Ukrainian Health Minister Wasilij Kniazevicz has asked the country’s top prosecutor to open criminal proceeedings against those people who are opposed to the implementation of the mass flu vaccination campaign also with the toxic and untested swine flu jab, sparking fears that the authorities are about to carry out wave of arrests.

The government’s Chief Medical Officer Aleksander Bilovol said that the government is planning to implement a mass vaccination campaign with pregnant women an especial target.

In addition, the Health Ministry is considering extending quarantine areas in the Ukraine, which could lead to the isolation of large regions and the virtual imprisonment of populations.

It has been reported that a key Ukrainian civilian public health body has been dissolved and integrated into the army, raising fears of forced mass vaccinations by the military.

Key functions in the Ukrainian government appear to have been taken over by officials from WHO and the UN under the pretext of fighting a pandemic emergency.

Many thanks to Krzysztof Tarnawski and Mareck Podlecki from Grypa666 for the translation of the report from Interfax-Ukraina Agency.

WTF-Ask military to help with H1N1: Ottawa councillor

An Ottawa city councillor wants to call in the Armed Forces to help conduct swine flu vaccinations.

Coun. Bob Monette said Thursday he has written to federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq asking if doctors, nurses and medics from the Canadian Forces could be deployed in cities across Canada to help with the H1N1 vaccinations.

Monette said the idea came to him after speaking with a constituent who’s a member of the Forces.

“Why not think of all the possibilities?” Monette said.

“This was one more possibility that I found was worthwhile looking into, and let’s see if anything comes from it. If we can get one or two doctors, a nurse, to help out, then it’s worthwhile,” he said.

Ottawa-Orleans MP Royal Galipeau has endorsed Monette’s idea. He said he’s also written to the health minister and to the minister of defence.

H1N1 swine flu infects commercial swine in USA, reports USDA

The pork industry desperately wants you to believe “the Big Lie” about swine flu: That it can’t infect pigs, and therefore it’s perfectly safe to buy and eat lots and lots of pork products.

It’s a merry little tale, and it would be a nice little piece of information to pass along if only it were true.

But it isn’t.

H1N1 swine flu can and does infect pigs. And the safety margin for eating pork products from H1N1-infected pigs is not well known.

In fact, the USDA just confirmed H1N1 infections in commercial pigs (the kind used to make those pork chops you ate for breakfast). This is the first time that a commercial herd of pigs has been publicly acknowledged to be infected with H1N1 swine flu by the USDA. (And we all know from watching the USDA’s behavior on mad cow disease that the agency goes to great lengths to downplay any such reports…)

The timing of the announcement is, not surprisingly, highly suspicious. Just a few days ago, the USDA negotiated an end to the pork import ban placed on U.S. pork products by China. Before the ink on that agreement was even dry, the USDA — surprise! — announced they had discovered this H1N1 infection in commercial swine in the U.S.

This particular commercial herd of swine was located in Indiana. (The USDA isn’t saying where.) But here’s the best part: The USDA did not ban those pigs from being used in the food supply! At least I couldn’t find any such report after scouring the web looking for one. This means these swine flu infected pigs could end up on your dinner table (if you eat pork, that is).

This isn’t the first report of H1N1 infecting pigs in the USA, by the way. A few weeks ago, H1N1 infections were confirmed in show pigs at the Minnesota State Fair. Nobody seemed to care, since people weren’t planning on eating those show pigs (“Looks good on stage, but tastes even better on the plate!”), but now that H1N1 has been found in commercial herds, suddenly things seem different.

H1N1 swine flu has already been detected in swine herds in Canada, Australia, the UK and many other countries, according to an AP report. So this discovery isn’t exactly the world’s first.

Of course, any rational pork eater would have already figured out by now that the H1N1 virus is so mild, it poses virtually no health risk to anyone with some vitamin D and a healthy immune system. So technically speaking, even H1N1-infected pork probably poses no real threat to your health.

Then again, eating pork isn’t a very rational act to begin with, especially given that pigs are smarter than Man’s Best Friend (your family dog) and that they’re treated quite inhumanely in the pork producing factories and slaughterhouses. But I guess if you’re crazy enough to eat dead pig flesh, a little extra H1N1 probably won’t cause you any more harm.

By the way, H1N1 has also crossed from humans to cats and infected a cat in Iowa (http://content.usatoday.com/communi…). Since H1N1 already contains viral fragments of bird flu, human flu and swine flu, it makes me wonder how crazy things might get if it now starts combining with house cats. Could we soon be looking at Feline Swine Flu?
