Nazareth toddler third Israeli to die after receiving swine flu vaccination

By Dan Even, Haaretz Correspondent

A toddler from Nazareth died Thursday at home, three days after receiving a
swine flu vaccination at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.

The two-year-old, who had a pacemaker and had been undergoing weekly
dialysis at Rambam, had been inoculated in the pediatric nephrology
department where she was being treated.

However the vaccine was allegedly given against Health Ministry regulations,
which permit only children over the age of 3 to receive the shots currently
available in Israel.

The vaccines now being given in Israel contain adjuvant, which helps improve
the immune system. However, this component has not been proven safe for
children under 3 and pregnant women, therefore Israel and some other
countries, Canada, for example, are not inoculating these groups with
vaccines containing adjuvant. Vaccines without this component are to arrive
in Israel starting next week.

An autopsy performed Thursday at the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic
Medicine in Tel Aviv revealed that the toddler died of complications from
her kidney condition, not from the vaccine. The institute said the results
of additional tests would be ready in about a week.

The Health Ministry said that more than 65 million people have been
inoculated worldwide without incident, including many children, and that the
vaccine meets all standards of safety and efficiency and is recommended by
the World Health Organization.

Rambam Medical Center released the following statement: "Although there is
apparently no connection between the toddler's death and the inoculation,
the hospital director instructed that immediate clarification be undertaken
of the events in the days preceding her death. We all hope that the autopsy
will help clarify the reasons for her death."

This is the third death following inoculation against swine flu in Israel.
The first, soon after the inoculations started, was a 75-year-old Bat Yam
dialysis patient who died three days after receiving the shot in the
hospital. At the beginning of this week, a 57-year-old dialysis patient died
at Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva, two weeks after receiving the
vaccine.

Out of some 10,000 Israelis who have so far been vaccinated, the Health
Ministry said this week that there have been 43 reported cases of side
effects from the inoculation, including several cases involving swelling and
redness around the site of the shot, respiratory distress, allergies and
headaches; one patient complained of limited hand movement.

They would say that, wouldn't they. Kind of like allowing the perpetrators
to be the expert witness.

They would say it because it's true.

I'm waiting for John et al to trumpet some case where a recently
vaccinated person dies in a car crash as a vaccine related death.

In every post that John has used he has been shown to have deceived or
misled everyone regarding H1N1.

I'm personally through reading any of his posts since he is an abject
liar.

Personally, I just respond to his and Jan's posts once or twice. IMHO,
their resposnse do more to help show what kind of poor advice they offer
than anything I can point out. And, anyone reading Jan's personal
attacks is able to determine what kind of person she is, as well.
