bad news during Administration's 'Friday Night Bad News

Dump':

 

Legal immunity set for swine flu vaccine makers 17 Jul 2009 The

last time the government embarked on a major vaccine campaign against a

new swine flu, thousands filed claims contending they suffered side

effects

[

paralysis, death] from the shots. This time, the government has

already taken steps to head that off. Vaccine makers and federal

officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu

vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human

Services Kathleen Sebelius, government health officials said Friday. The

document signed by Sebelius last month grants immunity to those making a

swine flu vaccine, under the provisions of a 2006 law for

public

health emergencies.

 

 

 

 

Safety questions over swine flu jab

--Vaccine will be

rushed out before results of health checks are

known as licensing is accelerated for

132m doses of vaccine 18 Jul 2009 The first doses of swine flu

vaccine will be given to the public before full data on its safety and

effectiveness become available, doctors confirmed yesterday. The pandemic

vaccine version will be spread over two doses in a higher quantity, and

one brand [Gee, I wonder

who

that could be?] is expected to contain a chemical additive to make it go

further, potentially increasing the risk of side-effects... A previous

vaccine against swine flu turned out to be worse than the disease. An

outbreak in the US in 1976 infected 200 soldiers at a military camp [Fort

Dix] in New Jersey... But before it was over 40 million people had been

vaccinated, 25 of whom died and 500 of whom developed Guillain-Barre

syndrome, an inflammation of the nervous system which can cause paralysis

and be fatal.
