Swine flu vaccine caused deaths
Swine flu vaccine caused deaths
18 May 2010 http://theforeigner.no/pages/news/sw...caused-deaths/ Ten people in Norway have died as a result of last year's mass vaccination programme against the swine flu (Influenza A H1N1). According to figures released by the Norwegian Medicines Agency (Statens legemiddelverk), the Pandemrix vaccine also accounted for 801 reported incidents of side-effects. Health authorities considered 201 of these cases to be severe. Amongst other symptoms, patients experienced severe allergic reactions and cramps. But perhaps the most serious were those who suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome, causing gradual ascending paralysis up the legs. It can also affect the arms and upper body, and at worst can paralyze the breathing muscles. The vaccine also affected pregnant women and children. There were 16 reported cases of abortions, fetal death, or stillbirth. And 58 children were hospitalized for observation due to fainting, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and dehydration. Approximately two million people were vaccinated against swine flu last year, and the agency says it's investigating every incident. |

copyrighted material deleted Well, the paper repeatedly referred to the flu as "swine flu," rather than H1N1, the official name of the virus. In addition, the info was translated from Norwegian by some second-rate newspaper trying to make money selling ads. This has a very low reliability. For all we know, the press release from the Norwegian Medicines Agency may have actually released a press release just saying the deaths are under investigation. The article doesn't explain why they found GBS in people who recieved the vaccine in Norway, but none in people who got the vaccine outside Norway. That makes me think the original press release was about unverified reports, not proven side effects. That's a big difference. Jeff |

One might also wonder how many people died of the flu itself, and how many more might have died had 2 million people in Norway not been vaccinated. H1N1, unlike seasonal flu, was hospitalizing and killing otherwise healthy children and young adults, especially pregnant women. Thousands of young people died in developed countries before the vaccine became available in mid-autumn and the pandemic came to a fairly abrupt halt. |

Jeff Actually, it appears that the article is a sexed up version of the official report that did not find the vaccine to be causing deaths. The Google translation (substandard quality of course) is available at: http://translate.google.no/translate...__82456. aspx The flu was not called either swine or H1N1 by the way. |

According to the translation, a smaller portion of the reported events in 2009 are deaths compared to 2008. And, according to the report, the reported deaths are not related to the vaccines. I think the CDC would be surprised to learn that the flu was not called H1N1 influenza: www.flu.gov. |
