Swine flu vaccine here

Link: http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20091014/NEWS01/910140326/1006/Swine+flu+vaccine+here

This is a quote from an article published on Florida Today October 14, 2009:

'Some people, however, are anxious about whether the vaccine -- now available to local residents -- is safe. Doctors say their concern is understandable, given the quick turnaround in vaccine production.

But their advice on how patients should proceed varies.'

And:
'Karen Huff feared that her daughters, home-schooled until this year, might be at greater risk for influenza. "Any way I can prevent their suffering, or keep them from getting flu, I'm going to do it," she said.

Other parents aren't so certain.

Stacey Claridge, 31, of Rockledge, worries that her baby's health could be in jeopardy if she makes the wrong decision.'

Swine Flu: The Risks and Efficacy of Vaccines

Link: http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/health-care/2079-swine-flu-the-risks-and-efficacy-of-vaccines

This is a quote from an article published at The New American October 14, 2009:

'The answer to the swine flu, according to most public officials, is a worldwide flu vaccination campaign. The United States is on board. The coming swine flu vaccination campaign will be the first time the U.S. government has ever attempted to vaccinate so many people in such a short time frame.

But even as governments around the world create vaccines and run TV and radio ads convincing the public to get vaccinated (Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius even promoted the vaccine for the seasonal flu and the swine flu on NBC’s Today show), and people prepare to line up to get their shots and boost their immunity, a growing chorus of doctors and researchers is claiming that being injected with the swine flu vaccine may be more hazardous than catching the flu.'

The Dr. Oz Bait for Vaccines: Why Did He Do It?

Link: http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Miscellaneous/the_dr_oz_bait_for_vaccines_why_did_he_do_it_131020091006.html

This is a quote from an article published at Foodconsumer October 14, 2009:

'Dr. Mehmet Oz, talk show host and Vice-Chair and Professor of Surgery at Columbia University is perhaps the most well-known doctors in the U.S. '

And:
'But what you didn’t see in that clip was Dr. Oz stating that when it comes to the swine flu shot, neither his wife nor his four children will get the vaccine (although he will get that one too). This comes up during interviews on both Fox News and CNN, shown in the two videos above. '

And later:
'For this year’s flu season, five biopharmaceutical companies have been awarded massive contracts by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for development and production of more than 195 million doses of swine flu vaccine, in addition to the seasonal flu vaccine.

The companies -- Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, MedImmune, Australian drug maker CSL, and Sanofi-Pasteur -- will likely make a great deal of money.

CSL has contracts to supply $180 million worth of bulk antigen to the U.S. MedImmune will supply 40 million doses of its live attenuated nasal spray swine flu vaccine for more than $450 million. And Sanofi-Pasteur is providing more than 100 million doses of monovalent swine flu vaccine, a $690 million order.'
