Swine flu vaccine: Bad Batch Proves Shots Not Safe

Let's stop pretending: There's no way in hog heaven these swine flu vaccines are safe.

Need more proof? Look north – at least one Canadian is dead and dozens of others are recovering from severe allergic reactions to the vaccine.

Many of those cases were linked to GlaxoSmithKline's Arepanrix swine flu vaccine, which prompted a recall of 172,000 doses. But by the time word got out, all but 15,000 had been used.

If you already rolled up your sleeve in Canada – too bad. Just be glad you're still alive to read about it.

Plenty of victims have suffered from anaphylaxis, a potentially deadly reaction that includes breathing problems, low blood pressure and swelling of the throat, tongue, lips and eyes.

Arepanrix appears to be especially bad — even by the low standards of poorly tested swine flu vaccines. GlaxoSmithKline's own data shows that more that 1 in 10 patients experience pain, headache, fatigue, swelling, shivering, sweating, aching muscles and joint pain. And 1 in 10 will develop diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes, fever, feeling sick, bruising and itching.

We're facing a pandemic all right – but it's not from the flu. If they succeed in poking everyone, the real health crisis will come from all those bad drug reactions.

Recently, I told you about the patients who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome after their swine flu shots, and some people who even keeled over after getting these "safe" vaccines. Click here to read "Swine flu swindle in full swing."

I mean c'mon – they're playing us for saps, and we're falling for it. So far, 22 million Americans have been conned into lining up for these dangerous needles like parents camped out at a store for a hot Christmas toy.

But at least we know the crummy economy won't dampen the holiday spirits of one group of elites living high on the hog: Big Pharma fat cats and their accomplice docs who distribute these shots like candy canes at a Christmas party.

Merry Christmas, and a $15 co-pay, please.

“Old Habits Die Hard”, which makes it especially difficult to convince older patients about the perils of immunizations and over the counter and prescribed drugs and that they shouldn’t necessarily follow the advice of their medical doctor. I have FINALLY convinced my 86 year-old mother-in-law NOT to get an annual flu shot. She works out at the gym 5 days week, chooses organic food and is adjusted at least twice a week, but for whatever reason, immunizations were a sticking point. Until now. She FINALLY gets it! It has been a long process, but progress is made one patient at a time.
