Simply my choice...

On October 24th, 2009 WyoWill says:

Let's see: I run the risk of MAYBE getting the flu, missing work and filling miserable for about a week... OR running the risk of getting the vaccine and suffering from something much worse? No thanks

BUT, if I have a loved one who may have a respiratory condition that leaves them particularly vulnerable to serious complications were they to get ANY version of the flu, it MAY... MAY be worth looking into. MY CHOICE, MY LOVED ONE'S CHOICE and we would consult our (I did say OUR) physician and get his input as well.

My heart and prayers goes out to that girl and her husband... along with anyone else who is exposed to some greater (although perhaps less likely) risk to their health because they have not been informed of all the facts; Risks/Benefits

Take care all!

The real story

On October 24th, 2009 casimirp says:

is that big pharma is about profit, not health. Their agenda is to replace our immune systems with their products. This whole flu pandemic pandering nonsense just shows how in bed big pharma is with the media and the gov't.

Vaccines...

On October 22nd, 2009 wolfe says:

Aren't always a bad thing and can actually provide some benefit... However, they never should be forced, and I believe they should never be given to children. After the first round of vaccinations when I was a child, they almost killed me and my doctor exempted me, my brother didn't get exempted and had other issues. Recognizing that my family was probably not good with vaccines, I exempted my daughter for "religious" reasons...

But in regard to the *flu* vaccine specifically.

Potential Reward: Avoiding a week long illness, MAYBE.
Potential Risk(low, but present): Death, permanent disability, etc.

If anyone thinks it makes sense to take this risk... Well...

With all due respect, there's no proof.....

On October 22nd, 2009 America Loves R... says:

There's no proof vaccines have ever provided benefit for - or prevented any disease.

If ANYthing, they are responsible for stifling the outward symptoms of certain diseases - which only means that it's allowed to stay inside your body instead of being purged/cleansed causing a MYRIAD of chronic disease throughout one's entire life.

The disease is the cure. When you get outward signs of the meales, that's your body purging pollutants/viruses/bacteria/dead cells, etc, in your body. It's a result of toxemia.

Western medicine now MISTAKENLY sees the body going through a cleanse/purge/fever as DETRIMENTAL and stifles this process.

We now have, as a result, kids with asthma, allergies, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, autism, ALS, MS, crohn's disease, etc and so-forth, at an alarming rate since - especially - the early 90s when the vaccine-rate TRIPLED !!!

Coincidence?............hardly.

The following article (with graphs) may seem shocking to some, but those same ones probably think Count Chocula is a "normal" part of our diet:

THE BENEFICIAL NATURE OF CHILDHOOD INFECTION

Hippocrates, who to this day is referred to as the Father of Medicine. Over 2000 years ago he wrote;

"Diseases are crises of purification, of toxic elimination. Symptoms are the natural defences of the body. We call them diseases, but in fact they are the cure of diseases."

I don't know why I bother...

On October 22nd, 2009 wolfe says:

to respond to you. You have a single minded agenda, incapable of thought or reason when presented with facts and information. You believe your forceful, obnoxious, "I AM RIGHT" attitude in some way adds to intellectual discourse, which it does not.

Having said that, since this specific comment was not rude, just overbearing and inaccurate, I will go ahead and respond and point out some inaccuracies.

Many symptoms to illness are indeed the body's attempt to purge the disease, however, that is not always the case. Taking one truth and attempting to fit into everything is intellectually dishonest and lazy. If the body is unable to purge the disease, death may result, depending on the disease. So you are correct about that at least, the body heals or dies but either way the disease is destroyed. I would prefer to not end up dead, but hey that's just me.

Further, as I hinted at above, sometimes the symptoms are as dangerous as the disease itself. Depending on the fatality rate, a choice must be made about whether the vaccine would be beneficial. hence my statements about "flu" vaccines.

Vaccines have been scientifically proven to be effective at controlling outbreaks once herd immunity is achieved. It has also been proven to be effective on an individual level, with some risk.

The question isn't whether vaccines work, they do. The question is, does the reward outweigh the risk.

As I have told you before, if you approached the topic from an intellectually honest perspective, you might win more people over.

In response to your edit: They didn't know what caused scurvy, they didn't know what an infection or virus was, etc back then. That is not to take away from what they did learn and teach. I personally use the oldest form of "modern" medicine but they did not have a full understanding of medicine in the least.

Ok, let me clarify some things....

On October 22nd, 2009 America Loves R... says:

You are correct in pointing-out that scurvy isn't a purging, but a lack-of-nutrient (vitamin c).

I SHOULD have clarified that certain diseases and/or ailments can ALSO be a result of - not only poisoning/toxicity - but a LACK of certain nutrients/malnutrition.

Other than that, I completely stand by my comments and offer no apology for stating things in the manner in which I have.

As for so-called "herd immunity", that is the biggest farce ever perpetrated against mankind.

"Herd immunity" should actually be considered libel/slander to those who refrain from vaccination.

It is a FALSE accusation that those who don't vaccinate are harming the general public.

There is ZERO science backing-up so-called "herd immunity".

ZERO.

www.vaclib.org

There are more studies on the topic than I can count...

On October 22nd, 2009 wolfe says:

What are your counter studies to the vast, overwhelming body of evidence?

And once again, you try to limit the discussion and apply a few facts to the whole body of evidence. Lack of, and purging are not the only forms disease take. There are also genetic diseases, there are mental diseases which manifest themselves physically, and probably more causes than I can count.

The fact is, just because you refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the studies, does not mean that their aren't studies, and it doesn't mean that you are right. It simply means that you choose to disregard evidence.

Evidence to counter?

On October 23rd, 2009 America Loves R... says:

I can provide REAL WORLD evidence that "herd immunity" from vaccination is a scam.

First off, why don't we have mass deaths in the Amish community? SURE some of them get sick every so often, but getting sick is NOT evil. Getting sick builds your immune system and it purges impurities.

Also, there are huge pockets in Oregon and California of parents who do not vaccinate their children. We constantly hear from the so-called "experts" that if the vaccination-rate doesn't stay at 95% the world will come to an end from these diseases of which we vaccinate coming back.

Excerpts from the following article:

Twenty-five percent of Ashland kindergartners were exempted from at least one vaccine last year. That dwarfs the average statewide exemption rate of 3.8 percent, a rate that's also inching up.

Thresholds for herd immunity -- a concept that means enough people are effectively immunized that even those who can't or won't get vaccinated are shielded from infection -- vary, depending on the disease. For measles, the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, about 95 percent of the population must be fully immunized, says Paul Cieslak, manager for the Oregon Public Health Division's communicable disease program.

Pockets of Oregon don't come close to hitting that.

"For parents, I totally understand they're making the best choices for their children," Meredith says, "but I don't think that many of the exemptors realize how much they're putting the community at risk."

So where is all the death and destruction in these states and communities?

A shame - she is a hero for sharing her story on the news!

On October 22nd, 2009 Victoria says:

This isn't so rare...its happening to 1 in 90 children. I guess its just a little more rare in adults to see such a severe and compelling case. What a tragedy. This was a real tear jerker. I wish I could tell her about the Doman method and cross pattern crawling. I believe it could help her. I do think she may recover since she is athletic and obviously has a lot of guts since she revealed this personal situation on the news - that can't be easy. I do hope she recovers.

Nerve cells

On October 21st, 2009 jeffandnicole says:

that are vulnerable are just that. vulnerable. When someone can walk backwards and run, but not forward, it means the mid-brain was damaged, and a flu shot could easily do that. For a younger child whose cortex is developing, those cells are most vulnerable, and autism is a cortical injury.

I am quite sympathetic to the anti-vaccine movement and consider myself a member.

But I would not be fulfilling my role if I were not to add a bit of criticism.

Dr. Paul is not opposed to vaccines, he opposes government madates of vaccines and government endorsments and subsidies of them.

If you do not wish to clarify this in your OP, then I would suggest that you leave it off the front page.

Just my two cents.

This news report states that doctors believe her dystonia was "triggered" by the seasonal flu shot.

Can someone give me a link to a professional article discussing this or similar cases of dystonia?
I can Google all kinds of "news" articles referring to this girl, but so far nothing for health professionals warning them about this possible complication.

At least I can't find any scientific evidence warranting the assumption implied by the title of this post.

BTW, I happen to have treated a couple of patients with dystonia. One was caused by brain trauma during a car accident. Most cases are "idiopathic", meaning that nobody knows why they got it.

In this case the timing from the shot could be coincidence, but I would like to read what a neurologist would have to say about it.

There is an O'Reily Interview

On October 22nd, 2009 BaneMaler says:

with a Dr. who states some of the concerns you brought up but more authoritatively says that her mind has exclusively done this to her and not the result of taking the flu vaccine. Further, she states that there is no history of flu vaccines ever causing dystonia as a side effect. The video was floating around YouTube a few days ago. I don't think they can know what caused this without tests and evidence. The flu shot seems to be the only thing presented as a potential cause however. I would warn the anti-vaccine crowd that putting all your eggs in one basket could easily backfire if an alternative cause is discovered, proven, and backed with patient history. Do the research and find the evidence to back up your claims. Start with the vaccine and dystonia, what was in the new vaccine that wasn't in previous, and a hypothesis of how this could have happened.

Neurological damage caused by 1976 Swine Flu vaccine

VIDEO: The 1976 Swine Flu Pandemic and Vaccine

This 1979 CBS 60 Minutes was shown only once.

http://www.dailymotion.co...

Excerpt from transcript:

WALLACE: Did anyone ever come to you and say, You know something, fellows, there's the possibility of neurological damage if you get into a mass immunization program?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: No one ever did?

DR SENCER: No

WALLACE: Do you know Michael Hattwick?

DR SENCER: Yes, uh-hmm.

WALLACE: Dr Michael Hattwick directed the surveillance team for the swine flu program at the CDC. His job was to find out what possible complications could arise from taking the shot and to report his findings to those in charge. Did you know ahead of time, Dr Hattwick that there had been case reports of neurological disorders, neurological illness, apparently associated with the injection of influenza vaccine?

DR MICHAEL HATTWICK: Absolutely

WALLACE: You did?

DR HATTWICK: Yes

WALLACE: How did you know that?

DR HATTWICK: By review of the literature.

WALLACE: So you told your superiors - the men in charge of the swine flu immunization program - about the possibility of neurological disorders?

DR HATTWICK: Absolutely

WALLACE: What would you say if I told you that your superiors say that you never told them about the possibility of neurological complications?

DR HATTWICK: That's nonsense. I can't believe that they would say that they did not know that there were neurological illnesses associated with influenza vaccination. That simply is not true. We did know that.

This woman has suffered the perfect storm. Toxic foods, poisoned environment, societal stress, and the last storm, a doctors perscription.
Put another notch in the handle of the hypo. The stress from the vaccine toxins set off the perfect storm.

Like AIDS, the kind that magic johnson had, was caused by steroids and supplements and he became a walking petri dish, unable to fight of assaults on his body. He didn't die, nor walk funny. But his life changed forever.
Reduce your toxic condition (toxemia) and you will not be a walking petri dish, for bad bacteria to make a home, or irritate with unwelcome visits.
This could have been prevented.
The point is, the "the trigger" is what over whelming toxins do, therein, the body becomes weakend, and the sleeper trigger is pulled.
With exercise, fasting and attention to raw foods as medicine, this would have been avoided.

Rare?

On October 21st, 2009 America Loves R... says:

Even the former FDA head once admitted that doctors only report - at the very most - 10% of adverse reactions.

Here are more quotes regarding this dilemma:

http://www.whale.to/vacci...

* "They claim the vaccines are safe, but physicians are indoctrinated to disbelieve claims of harm and are not trained to recognize nor required to report any adverse reactions. From 90% to 99% of the adverse reactions reported to doctors are never reported by those doctors to the government’s extremely lax Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, known as the VAERS."---Dr Rimland Ph.D.

* "Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler estimated in a 1993 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that fewer than 1 percent of all doctors report injuries and deaths following the administration of prescription drugs. This estimate may be even lower for vaccines. In one survey that our organization conducted in New York in 1994, only 1 doctor in 40 reported to VAERS."--Barbara Loe Fisher

* "The fact is that study after study has shown that the vast majority - up to 99% - of reactions are never reported. Yet the government and the medical community rely on these figures which are 99% incorrect."--Meryl Dorey

* "Before the latest round of injections, we had 205 parents contact us over a 5 year period....But only seven of those cases have been officially reported by doctors (3.4%)."---Jacki Fletcher of JABS

* "The current method of reporting adverse reactions is totally ineffective. If a child reacts to a vaccine the doctor/consultant caring for the child should report the problem using the 'yellow card' system. The card is supposed to be forwarded to the Medicines Control Agency to be investigated. This has been recognised by the Public Health Laboratory's Service as far back as 1995 (Lancet 4 Mar. 95: Vol. 345: 567/569). "There is an urgent need to find more reliable methods of adverse event surveillance". The system continues to fail our children - reactions are very rarely reported!"--Jabs http://www.argonet.co.uk/...

* "The Medicines Control Agency has contradicted itself on this issue, stating in correspondence on 21st August 1998 that many serious reactions do get reported, but also stating in Adverse Drug Reaction Information Service Guidance On Interpretation Of Yellow Card Data, Drug Analysis Prints, 1997 edition, that only 10-15% of even serious reactions are reported."--David Thrower.

* The FDA estimates that only about 10% of adverse reactions are reported (Reported by KM Severyn, R.Ph.D. in the Dayton Daily News, May 28, 1993. Ohio Parents for Vaccine Safety, 251 Ridgeway Dr., Dayton, OH 45459), a figure supported by two NVIC investigations (NVIC, "Investigative Report on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System"). In fact, the NVIC reported that in New York, only one out of about 40 doctor's offices(2.5%) confirmed that they did report a death or injury following vaccination.
