H1N1 making a come-back?

A post by Katie Drummond, a contributor to Aolnews.com brings us the latest about H1N1 better known as the Swine Flu. She states, "An outbreak of H1N1 cases in Georgia and mini-surges in other Southeastern states have federal health officials urging vaccinations and vigilance to thwart the threat of a third wave of the flu." However, these same health officials are also saying that, " . . .there's no evidence that the illness has undergone any mutations." Although Drummond says the "H1N1 [virus] has been largely contained across most of the country," the Georgia Center for Disease Control and Prevention is concerned with the higher rate of infection than it was in October. 

Within this article it is stated that, "H1N1 worries health experts because it tends to strike young children, pregnant women and adults with underlying health problems." Nonetheless "the CDC reported that 86 million Americans [have] been vaccinated against H1N1," and still others have been sick and recovered. After fighting off the virus, a patient is very unlikely to contract it again.  Since there were epidemic in both 1957 and 1968 of a similar flu originating in Mexico, some older Americans have already developed antibodies to the disease.  According to Barbara Loe Fisher, "Those of us born prior to 1957 may be naturally protected and at LOWER risk of being infected."  This is why Drummond maintains that the CDC believes that several people already have enough "immunity to help prevent a third outbreak."

I have not been vaccinated and neither has my son. I have read a post by the vaccine information center on their blog "Vaccine Awakening" titled "H1N1: Fact or Fiction?" written by Ms. Barbara Loe Fisher. Her post contains information about how fearful the general public is of the vaccine. First we were shocked and scared when "the Department of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Homeland Security followed the World Health Organization and declared a very scary pandemic influenza public health emergency in the United States." Then our fear was fed with information about how "people [were] being quarantined in hotels and detained on airplanes by HazMat teams," and how everywhere we turned, people in "grocery stores . . . fellow Americans [like ourselves] were wearing face masks." It did not even soothe our minds to sit down and watch our favorite television shows because they would be interrupted time and time again by "reports about schools closing so desks and lockers could be scrubbed down." But this did was not the end of the alarming news.

Soon after the hysteria began to spread rapidly across the United States, untamed, It was stated that "Congress [gave] drug companies more than a billion dollars of our taxes to quickly create H1N1 swine flu vaccines . . . [and] shielded everyone who has anything to do with making, promoting and giving swine flu vaccines from all liability in civil court whenever somebody gets hurt or dies after getting vaccinated." The post goes on to speak about how some state legislators wanted to and a few even went as far as to mandate that people either get the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccine or get fired from their jobs. Here in Staten Island they were giving H1N1 vaccines to children in schools. When the children started becoming ill from the vaccine, and ambulances had to be called for collapsed children, then the policies begin to change. Then all of a sudden it was the parents' responsibility to bring the children in to their local school on Saturdays.  These parents were told that they needed to sign a release form to allow the school permission to protect them in case of any repercussions. Several children were also mistakenly vaccinated against their parents' wishes.

And let's not forget how "Drug companies . . . started complaining that they couldn’t grow the H1N1 virus fast enough," and how they should be allowed to ". . . use insects and e-coli bacteria and fungus or virus like [sic] protein particles and dog kidney cells and . . " other unmentionable things to grow the virus. Manufacturers did not like being restrained to using chicken eggs to breed the virus because they were so-called safe.  These companies thought that in a crisis situation they should be allowed to create the vaccine by whatever means necessary, and still not be held liable if anyone should die or become seriously ill from their vaccine. 

I can go on forever and post quote after quote for you, but you need to read the whole post and form your own decisions like I did. I have also written to the NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center), and will post more on this topic as soon as current information is available.

There are many other posts on "Vaccine Awakening" about the swine flu. Here are some of their titles and links:
