Eh? What's this mean?
WHO
Quote:
Also in Europe, some manufacturers have conducted advance studies using a so-called “mock-up” vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations and thus mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus. Such advance studies can greatly expedite regulatory approval.

I was listening to a radio show today....The host was saying that through "herding instinct" the herd will get vaccinated and leave everyone else to die. A new social class will develop that has been vaccinated vs the ones who have not.

I thought that was utter bullshit.

Well, as reported here, it is BS. Notice: " ... leave everyone else to die" ... new social classes ... have Vs Have Not vaccinated...

The premise was that all nonvaccinated die, wasn't it?

But apart from that, there is some thought that we should not allow unvaccinated kids into schools because of the risk they pose to the too-young-to-vaccinate siblings of their classmates. That *could* lead to social segregation.

Article says 120 were sent home because they were in the same dorm as a handful who got it. It does not say 120 people got the flu.

My son's doctor warned me that another of his patients, who lives in Killeen, Texas, told him they were starting a swine flu vaccination program in the school building next week. Not without parental notification/permission (which is how she knew it was happening) but nonetheless, they're starting to inject some kids already. Make sure you know what your school's plan is.

I have been thinking to get the Pneumovax vaccine even before the swine flu scare began. I ran across this article this morning. Even though I am not into the flu vaccines I am highly considering this one. It lasts for 10 years and since the deaths from the swine flu are pneumonia related I thought is might be a good alternative.

Avoid Flu Shots, Take Vitamin D Instead

by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD

Two-thirds of the vaccines made for the 2008–09 flu season, 100 million of them, contain full-dose thimerosal, an organomercury compound, which is 49% mercury by weight. (well I knew there was mercury in them but I didn't realize how much!)

There is some evidence that flu shots cause Alzheimer’s disease. This most likely is a result of combining mercury with aluminum and formaldehyde, which renders them much more toxic together through a synergistic effect than each would be alone. One investigator has reported that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a ten-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots

misplaced post
I think I should have posted this here instead.
