The news today: Much ado about nothing?

I can't help to feel discouraged when I read the news. For every day that passes by, we seem to be getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, and we are heading there full speed.

There is such an immense amount of absurdity out there with the worst kind being that surrounding the so called swine flu. There is so much propaganda out there. The swine flu hasn't shown any signs of being more deadly than the seasonal flu, yet we are being bombarded with messages about how dangerous it is and how we need to show solidarity and get vaccinated to save humanity. They have started the vaccination campaign in Gothenburg now, but the authorities are alarmed that so few people are interested in getting vaccinated. At least I have done my share to spread awareness and keep those close to me from getting vaccinated.

There are a few points concerning the swine flu and the inconsistencies in information we have been getting that I would like to address:

1. They claim that so many people have contracted it that it can be considered a pandemic. The thing is that everybody you hear about having gotten the swine flu have gotten their diagnosis over the phone. The symptoms for the swine flu are EXACTLY THE SAME as those for the seasonal flu, so it is completely impossible to distinguish between the two of them without thorough tests. But all those who get the flu are asked to stay at home, so nobody gets a proper diagnosis. My conclusion is that the statistics must be completely false. Not all cases of flu can possibly be swine flu.

2. Pregnant women were told that they were so much at risk if they got the swine flu that they would be among the first to get vaccinated. Yet recently, pregnant women here in Västra Götaland were told not to get vaccinated as it could be dangerous for the foetus. Why the sudden 180 degree turn? Perhaps they know too little about this vaccine to give sound advise. Also, children under 3 years of age will not be vaccinated. It is absurd then to even consider vaccinating pregnant women. Who is most sensitive, a foetus or a 3 year old child?

3. At first, we were told that we needed two shots in order to be fully protected. Now they say that one is enough for most people. Only those in high risk groups should be getting the vaccine twice. Why would only high risk groups need to shots? Shouldn't one shot be as effective in everybody who takes it? How is it that half the dose is suddenly enough?

4. The media claims over and over again that the vaccine is perfectly safe, not even mentioning the serious side effects. Even if they are rare, they still exist, thus the vaccine is not "perfectly safe".

5. So the swine flu has killed very few people. The WHO still needs to get people to take the vaccine. They therefore scare us by saying that the virus might mutate. Question: if the virus mutates how effective could a vaccine be?

6. The people who get the seasonal flu shot have been found to be more likely to get swine flu. Are we killing our immunity system perhaps? (Global Research)

The media hve been utterly ineffective in addressing the reasons for why so many refuse to take the vaccine. They have also hidden important information on adjuvants to the vaccines such as Squalene. These are thought to be responsible for the so called Gulf War Syndrome. Only American soldiers who were vaccinated got this. Its Allies did not.

I do not think that the vaccine will kill off 80% of the population, but I believe that it will do people harm and that some may die. I also find it very probable that those who take the vaccine will end up being sicker than if they had never taken it. I hope that we will realize in the future how we were complete fools in believing that flu vaccines would cure us.

Last week, a professor I had spent a greater deal of the lesson trying to convince us that we should all take the vaccine out of solidarity. In order for it to be effective, 80% would need to take it. Well, if there is one thing I would like to have control over it is my health, and nobody gets to tell me what to do. If 80% decide to take it and we end up with a mutated dangerous swine flu virus, I won't be grateful towards those who took the vaccine. The virus will die out on its own if we do nothing. For once, maybe we should let nature run its course and stand up against those who want to keep us addicted to medication by creating our ailments.
