Will You Get Swine Flu Vaccine?

Before you rush out and get vaccinated for the Swine flu consider this important article by Paul Watson.

 It is clear that there will be significant risk in receiving a vaccine that has only been tested on a handful of people.  There are questions about what ingredients will be used, and even if none of the human guinea pigs have an adverse event in the next month we will have no idea what the long term effects of the vaccine will be. Essentially everyone who receives the vaccine will be a test case.

In the UK, physicians were warned to look for an increase in the number of Guillain-Barre cases in those vaccinated.  Guillain-Barre is a serious autoimmune disease of the nervous system that in the worst case could lead to permanent paralysis and even death.  Additionally, the pharmaceutical companies that will be paid for the vaccines are being granted immunity from injury as a result of receiving the vaccine, but we in emergency medicine get not even minimal immunity from the unfunded mandate of EMTALA care!

My recommendation: Get vaccinated for the regular seasonal flu which kills many more patients each year then the swine flu and has an excellent safety record over the years.  Skip the swine flu vaccine.
