Icerocket[Ed: This is a revised, updated, and somewhat altered version of an Earlier piece. I just liked it so much that ... naww I'm joking. Daniel Pinchbeck had me work on it for Reality Sandwich and then abruptly and inexplicably tossed it. But I thought you should all get a chance to read this anyways.]
Let's talk for a moment about vaccines.
I'm sure it hasn't escaped your attention that they're not always everything they're advertised to be. Even when they are close to what is advertised, they seem to often come with quite a bit more than we are told. The official line, which you can hear from your doctor, from medical authorities, and of course from the yearly round of flu shot propaganda, is that vaccines are one of the greatest advances in civilization, the instrument by which a whole army of viral predators - from polio to diphtheria, smallpox to measles - threats that have ravaged human kind from the dawn of civilization and even from before have been held at bay and in some cases eradicated. This is why your children are required to get their shots, at least if they want to attend the public school system. But really, why wouldn't you want to give your child the whole regimen of vaccines? A regimen that, here in Canada, now extends past thirty shots, if all of the recommended vaccines are given.
Now, the idea behind vaccines is pretty simple: a defanged virus - a protein shell denuded of the lethal RNA - is injected into the bloodstream, the idea being that the immune system can chew on that and have a better idea of what to look for if or when it encounters the real thing. Now, that's not necessarily such a bad idea. Although one might question why, precisely, the immune system requires such help (after all, the species got along just fine right up until the 20th century without every child being vaccinated) the usual answer is that the massive decline in the rate of infectious disease and, thus, infant mortality is as they say, the proof in the pudding. Still, there are those that argue that much of that victory has been due to public health measures - principally clean municipal water supplies - and that vaccines have given, at most, a bit of a boost to this effect.
But lets get back to the subject of the special ingredients that get put in vaccines that, as a rule, we aren't told about. A single dose of vaccine, measured against the size of the viral particles it contains, has a lot of room left over and it's all too easy to hide, well, pretty much anything in there.
There are reported cases, for instance, of vaccines being loaded, accidentally we're told, with a hormone (B-hCG, or Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) that caused the 'involuntary' sterilization of some of the women who received it and, on top of that, in some cases induced miscarriages in the already pregnant. This has happened in the Phillipines, with an anti-tetanus shot that, curiously, was administered only to women between the ages of 14-45. The adulteration was discovered in 20% of the vaccines, and the case was taken all the way to the country's Supreme Court by the Catholic Women’s League of the Philippines, who won an injunction against UNICEF to halt the vaccination program. However, by this point the damage was already done, with three million Phillipinas vaccinated. While no survey seems to have been conducted to determine precisely how many were sterilized (the lack of any such study should, I think, surprise no one), there has since this time been a global diaspora of Philippino women into the nursing and elder-care professions, and one might ask just why one of the Philippines’ major exports has been its women.
Since then similar incidents have taken place in countries around the world, particularly in Africa - where, for example, a polio vaccine in Nigeria was discovered to be contaminated with a variety of sterility-inducing hormones - and in South America, where (again, just one example amongst many) an Argentinian rubella vaccine was also discovered to be contaminated with HCG.
These are by no means the only cases, as a little poking around on the Internet will reveal. The secretive activities of groups like the World Health Organization have fed conspiracy rumors and dark speculations. The Internet is, of course, a rumor mill, where the collective unconscious runs rampant, and where it becomes difficult to separate truth from projection. The established organs of the mainstream media generally do not investigate this question of tainted vaccines, or if they do, would never go deeper to investigate the possible causes and motivations of those forces involved in these mass vaccination initiatives. One quote keeps cropping up around the web, allegedly originating in a 1985 WHO document, in which officials of the WHO apparently said that the organization intended to use a sterility-inducing smallpox vaccination program to "eliminate 150 million excess sub-Saharan Africans". The quote seems to originate with Major General (Retd.) Albert Stubblebine, a former commander of army intelligence, and while this origin renders its credibility suspect even amongst hardened conspiracy theorists, its popularity reveals the increasingly widespread mistrust directed at organizations that have taken control of our health without democratic openness or direct engagement with civil society. When we consider recent events like the economic meltdown - caused by a protected coterie of the financial elite who manipulated the system for personal gain - it becomes harder and harder to trust those in positions of power who claim to have the people’s best interests at heart.
While the mainstream media ignores the issue, some people are beginning to wonder if some of the forced vaccination programs in the Third World reveal a eugenics-based agenda, with the goal of sterilizing the population. But lest you think that you and yours - who, given that you're reading this on a computer, are more than likely educated, white, and 'middle class' - are exempt from this, best think again because reports are coming in that the HPV vaccine Gardasil (which the pharmaceutical industry lobbied, unsuccessfully, in an effort to make mandatory) contains polysorbate 80, a compound that (you guessed it) causes sterility.
Gardasil, incidentally, is a Merck invention, and while not perhaps the worst of Big Pharma they've earned themselves a nasty reputation, not just with Vioxx but also with a Hepatitis B vaccine that, according to some controversial reports, was laced with HIV. They're also known - albeit, not well known - for including SV40 (Simian Virus 40) in many of their earlier products, a virus known to cause cancer. You can get a quick intro to that subject here, or you can read about it in great depth here, at a website devoted to just this subject alone.
In addition to rumored instances of sterilizing hormones, HIV, and cancer viruses, there are many reports of vaccines having been contaminated with toxic heavy metals ... if 'contamination' is the right word for an ingredient that's added very deliberately. The most famous of these is probably the mercury compound thimerosol, supposedly included as a preservative, but widely implicated in the massive spike in autism amongst other conditions.
Look at that link and right at the top there's a quote by the philosopher Bertrand Russell:
“Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. . . . It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.
Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.
Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.”
Rusell was a brilliant mind, a philosopher and mathematician of the highest order, and a pillar of the British establishment in his time. Reading this quote, it becomes unnervingly apparent that some groups have been considering the use of injections for purposes quite different from defending frail little you and your helpless immune system against infectious disease for some time now ... though of course they couldn't tell you that and so, a pattern emerges.
Now, in the current expression of this pattern, what do we see? Well, there's a 60 Minutes piece on the Swine Flu epidemic that you can watch. It's from 1976 of course, which you might think is remarkably prescient of them, predicting an event yet 33 years in the future. But, no, it seems swine flu already struck once before. You'd be excused for thinking it's odd you haven't heard of this terrible pandemic, as for instance you might have heard of such culture-scarring catastrophes as HIV, the 1918 Spanish Flu, or the Black Death. This would be because the promised epidemic killed one (1) person, a soldier who - though ill - was made to go for a run regardless. In fact, those infected were all in the vicinity of a military base, Fort Dix. With a casualty count of a single, solitary individual, 'epidemic' was perhaps too strong a term but it wasn't too strong for the media at the time, which convinced everyone (or at least, 40 million Americans) to go out and get their swine flu shot. Five hundred contracted a rare disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, from which 25 died, and the government got sued for millions.
In this instance of the medical history of vaccinations you'll forgive me for suggesting the cure was far worse than the disease. And, the more paranoid might suggest, that may have been exactly the point. 60 Minutes wasn't that paranoid of course but nevertheless the episode aired once, was quietly banned and only surfaced again in 1995.
So now here we find ourselves, with another round of swine flu threatening the global population, the fear-mongering in the media ramping up again and advanced countries all over the world gearing up to start sticking people with needles in order to guard against the dread influenza. Inexplicably, the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic, despite the death toll to date being a drop in the ocean of the usual, seasonal flu deaths (perhaps a couple of hundred globally, compared to a global annual average of around 500,000). Due to this 'pandemic', numerous advanced countries - including Canada, Sweden, Norway and France - have quietly announced their intention to vaccinate their entire populations against the threat, to which end massive amounts of swine flu vaccine are being purchased. In the US, no official pronouncement of mandatory vaccination has come however, the President went on record some time ago as being in favor of it ... or, in his words, “I am not for selective vaccination”. More recently, the WHO has refused to release the minutes of a meeting in which they advised compulsory vaccinations for all. The indications are that this time around, we're not just going to get bombarded with propaganda aimed at talking us into rolling up a sleeve, oh no, this time, governments keep saying, they're going to be giving everyone the shot and the implication would be, whether we like it or not.
This is even more worrying in light of the fact that, in stark contrast to most vaccines which take from 12 to 18 months to develop and test, this concoction will be ready to go by the end of July ... well before the expected outbreak, and leaving plenty of time for the virus to mutate in the meantime, thus rendering yet more questionable the treatment's effectiveness.
In a recent newsletter, David Icke, the well-known, often discredited but always compelling British conspiracy author, offers his perspective that the Swine Flu vaccination program has been developed as part of an orchestrated plot by a small ruling cabal that he connects with the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati. Icke believes their intention is to reduce the human population drastically in the next few years: “I am not saying that people will die in large numbers immediately,” Icke writes. “This is certainly possible, but it would hardly encourage others to continue to be inoculated. The effects may be immediate in some, probably medium or longer-term in most, to hide the true source of their problem. What we do know is that we are seeing a long-prepared plan for mass vaccination by people who could not care less about the health of the population. That says everything about the real motivation, but only those in the shadows know what the effect is designed to be. For sure, it will involve targeting the human immune system. Once that has been disabled, it's over as we see with the immune-destroyer we call AIDS. People don't die of AIDS, they die of diseases the immune system would normally deal with. The excellent work of people like the American researcher and author Patrick Jordan, have exposed the unfolding plan to kill vast numbers of people through engineered viruses and vaccines. He says that they have long perfected vaccines that switch off the human immune system and US troops have often been used as guinea pigs. Patrick Jordan's research uncovers a three-vaccine system that the Illuminati have developed. The first inoculation turns off white blood cells (the immune system); the second injects viruses; and the third switches the immune system on again. In the middle period viruses are expanding around the body, but the person doesn't feel sick because the immune system is not fighting them. When the immune system kicks in again it unleashes such an assault on the virus cocktail that it kills the body.”
Let's go back to that list of adulterants (or primary payloads, depending on how you look at it): live viruses including cancer viruses and HIV, sterility inducing hormones, and various engineered toxins designed to evoke a certain 'side'-effect (a wonderful term, side-effect, isn't it? Why exactly should one effect be the 'effect' and the others 'side'-effects? Aren't they all effects?) All these have been around for quite a while, but technology has moved on in the meantime and so to this list some have speculated that we should add other categories. I've got no evidence to back this up, so please, take it in this in the playful spirit in which it's intended.
No doubt you're aware of radio frequency identification or RFID tags: small, simple microchips used primarily for purposes of tracking. Each chip is essentially a small radio transceiver which, in response to an outside signal, sends back a short response that uniquely identifies it. At the moment, these are being embedded in various product lines - such as Gilette razorblades - with an eye towards keeping track of inventory, as well as in passports, drivers licenses, pets, and in some cases people. As it stands, commercially available versions of the chips are generally just large enough to see with the naked eye however ... I can't help but wonder if somewhat more advanced versions might not have been developed.
I'm not the first nor by any means the only one to ponder along these lines. In the same newsletter Icke proposes, “The Illuminati plan for the world includes a mass cull of the population and the microchipping of every man, woman and child. Microchips would allow everyone to be tracked 24/7, but it goes much further than that. Computer technology communicating with the chips has the potential to manipulate people mentally, emotionally and physically. This could be done en masse or individually through the chip's unique transmitter-receiver signal. Killing someone from a distance would be a synch. I mention this because, as readers of my books will know, a CIA scientist told me in 1997 that microchips developed in the secret government-military research projects were even then small enough to be injected by hypodermic needles in vaccination programs. With nanotechnology, no one would know. The fake swine flu scare of 1976 was a trial-run for what is happening now. These events are planned way in advance and these sick people are extremely thorough in their preparations.”
The design would be simple enough, a chip small enough to move through the bloodstream, embedding itself along the way in tissues throughout the body, including of course, in the vicinity of the brain. Tracking is one of the least scary possibilities: imagine for a moment what could be done if one could access a network of chips throughout the body, which in response to outside signals would emit localized pulsations of EM energy that (as a 'side'-effect) might perhaps be configured to stimulate nerve cells and thus influence the state of the connected nervous system, in effect making the subject a 'receiver' for signals sent out over everything from cell phone towers to wifi to HAARP. In all probability, any overall effect would be beneath conscious perception, but with a fine-grained control of a subject's neurophysical state might come control of the emotional and psychological state. The subject would essentially come under mechanical control from an outside manipulator, and while an individual might be able to resist its effects had they both knowledge of the chips' existence and great inner discipline, en masse such a technology would make society more completely the plaything of elite manipulators than every before.
I don't know for sure if the next round of vaccinations is being prepared with such devices. Perhaps they don't exist at all. Perhaps some shots will have them and some be without, or different batches will be loaded with different payloads: sterilization for some, crippling illness for others, and mass enslavement for all. It's already known that the vaccine will include squalene, an adjuvant that was included in the experimental anthrax vaccines given to soldiers in the first Gulf War, and implicated in the infamous Gulf War Syndrome. [Update: How rapidly the situation evolves. Now it seems the vaccine has been manufactured using the kidneys of diseased African monkey kidneys, too. If you check out none of the other links here, read this one, he lays it out plain.]
But hey, maybe (let's be really comprehensive here with our speculation) everything is as we're being told: the vaccines will contain no 'secret ingredients' and after we get our shots we can all go about our business, secure in the knowledge that mass death by pandemic has been averted again thanks to Modern Medicine, Inc.!
Hoo-ray.
No doubt that’s why laws have been passed protecting pharmaceutical companies, in the event of a pandemic, from any liability due to adverse effects linked to their vaccines. I, for one, find it entirely credible that all of these laws are being passed, all of these scrambling efforts being taken, all these last-ditch measures being made in order to protect the global population from spending a few feverish days clutching their stomachs and moaning.
Now, how are they going to go about giving all these shots to all those people? At one point or another, large multitudes will have to be gathered together to be given their vaccines, because on this sort of scale just waiting for people to come into the clinic on their own won't cut it. At the extreme end, the military could be sent on a house-to-house hunt to round up stragglers (a bill moving through Congress now, authorizing medical 'intervention teams', may be part of a preparation for something along these lines.) In the event of a food shortage (or for that matter a money shortage) a place in the breadline (or access to your bank account) might be made available only if you get your shot. As much as possible, though, by far the best way to go would be to simply have a medical team attend large assemblies where, for whatever reason, people are gathering anyways.
This crossed my mind in a very personal way when I recently found out that at the beginning of the school year, I will be attending an all-student's assembly in order to get my student card. For this I'm supposed to send in a picture weeks ahead of time (which I find both amusing and somewhat odd as at the University of Toronto, several years ago, they simply took our picture and handed us our cards.) So, if Canada is going the mandatory vaccination route - and the government has announced this, however quietly - that may well be where I'm presented with it. "Want your student card? Give us your arm first."
Whether or not or if or when- or wherever I'm presented with that choice, my answer will be simple: "You'll have to put a gun to my head first." The answer will be the same regardless of the circumstances in which the order it responds to is given.
And it might come to a gun to the head. It really might. If getting your shot becomes a legal obligation, those who refuse become criminals. Chew for a moment on the implications of that.
But it's important to remember that an order is really a question: "Will you do what I say?" How you respond is up to you, not to whoever gives it. And for me, if it's a choice between being injected with a potentially lethal, potentially crippling, or potentially enslaving witch's brew of I-don't-know-what (and-neither-does-the-nurse-giving-it) then I'd rather let them pull the trigger on the gun they'll have to put to my head, than accede.
The consequences for me are simple: I escape the shot, one way or another, and what is contained within it. Maybe only a few others take this path along with me, in which case, hey, well, it's been fun. You all enjoy your doomed and dreary little prison world, for there's a whole universe out there packed with planets that, I'm sure, will be much more fun to incarnate on. Whether the world we call Earth escapes this fate really comes down to how many people answer, each in his or her own way, in the negative. If enough refuse, the plot will fail. It really is that simple.
Hold on a second, I see you saying. Plot? Fate? What are you on about now? Well, there isn't time to cover that in this article. Whole books can and have been written about it, and if you're interested, I'm sure you'll find your way to that information, one way or another. For now, suffice it to say that some of us believe, not without evidence, that compulsory mass vaccination is just a single thread in a plan that has been thousands of years coming to fruition, a solitary element of a complex and multilayed plot that has its origins in the deepest, murkiest depths of the human past. The goal is simple: total domination of the entire world, forever, by a small and unaccountable elite. We are very close to the endgame of that plan, and the role of this mass vaccination is I believe a key one. To whatever degree its progress can be retarded, the overall goal to which the plan is directed will be that much less likely to manifest.
The situation might look daunting now, and there is no doubt that the going will get rough indeed but time is of the essence, and not just for those of us who wish to stop the plan but for those carrying it out, as well. There is a window of opportunity coming up over the next couple of years, during which they - the hidden manipulators who have been doing their all to bend the flow of history to their will - have to get all the elements of their global autocratic technosphere nightmare world in place. If it's not up and running by the time that window closes, what they've managed to erect will collapse on top of them and history, formerly their toy, will dance on their ruins.
For those of us engaged in resistance to that world (and its reimagination into something far, far better), this rare temporal window is on the contrary a much more congenial environment. It is chaotic, yes, a trying and difficult time, but with great opportunity for novel and creative solutions to ancient problems that, until now, have eluded solution of any sort. The reservoir of latent inspiration is becoming greater than ever before in recorded history. Those tapping into it will ride a wave of creativity that will flow through the obstructions erected by the would-be lords of humanity and carry them, laughing, to heights previously unimaginable. As the window closes, that wave will quite naturally rise to a great height and there, many are suggesting, it shall stay, for the nature of this window is that as it closes, it will in a sense freeze whatever state closes it into the Earth's physical environs for a very great period of time. Prison-world or paradise, it will be one of the two, and regardless of what you might have been told, over and over throughout your life, which of the two it becomes really is up to little insignificant you.
So, you will soon be presented with a choice (though it won't be presented as a choice): to let them vaccinate you, or to speak up and refuse. If you do, you won't be alone. You'll have comrades worldwide: Jane Burgermeister, an Austrian journalist who's filing suit against every individual, organization and influence involved, alleging attempted bioterrorism; Quebec doctor Ghislaine Lanctôt, who sacrificed her medical license by raising her voice after the 1976 debacle; the Czech lab techs who raised the alarm about Baxter Pharmaceutical's bird flu vaccine, which they'd (again, 'accidentally') spiked with a live virus. There are voices everywhere raising the alarm against this plan, but if in the end their warning is not heeded their efforts will have been in vain. No doubt it will, for many, but it needn't be for all. Already you can read a storm of commentary across the web, "Mandatory vaccination? Sorry, no, not happening." This little piece here is just my own shout into the gathering hurricane, but every voice, and every choice, counts.
Now more than ever.

One of the groups considered
— Aug 07, 2009
One of the groups considered high priority to receive the jab in Canada is PREGNANT WOMEN. Excuse me? It is confirmed that this vaccine will contain thermosal as a preservative. So, those who supposedly care about public health, want to give a mercury-containing, unsafety-tested injection to pregnant women? I was watching the CBC "news" last night, and the "reporter" actually said, "The first people to get the vaccine will be an important testing ground." I kid you not. On the same program, we were told that the Canadian government has ordered more shots than there are Canadians. This is because, "some people might need more than one dose to be immune". Keep in mind that all this expensive, hysterical preparation is for a disease with an estimated (by US and UK health authorities, so probably wildly inflated) fatality rate of 0.5% (that's one out of 1,000 who are sick enough to seek medical help). It's not exactly Ebola (90%).
My prediction of how this will play out is as follows.
1. Large-scale vaccination program.
2. Many people die (from the vaccine).
3. Second helpings will be offered, but the deaths keep rising.
4. Health authorities claim that the flu's mutation has rendered the shots ineffective.
5. By now, people are dropping like flies and the WHO introduces draconian measures.
6. This is all timed to coincide with the collapse of the global economy (which will be blamed on the pandemic).
7. Martial law will be introduced to restore order.
At least, that's how I would plan it, if I were a group of obscenely rich, insane, psychopathic, criminal, control freaks.
On the subject of RFID mind-control chips, I think it would be very hard to tell if most people were being affected in this way, since they already act like they are.
Sanofi Pasteur starts testing swine flu vaccine

CDC travel notice on swine flu (PDF)
LONDON (AP) -- French drugmaker Sanofi Pasteur began human trials of its swine flu vaccine this week in about 2,000 people in the United States, the company said Friday - becoming the third company conducting clinical trials on swine flu vaccines.
Sanofi Pasteur's trials began Thursday, testing both the vaccine's safety and how many doses would be needed to protect people from swine flu, the company said in a statement. Most experts think two doses will be necessary.
The World Health Organization's vaccine chief Marie-Paule Kieny said Thursday that drugmakers were "on track," and that the first batches of swine flu, or H1N1, vaccine should be delivered in September.
Sanofi Pasteur, which makes about 40 percent of the world's flu vaccine, has applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for fast-track licensing for the vaccine.
Kieny said safety was not compromised in granting quick licenses before full safety tests are finished - a practice European and U.S. drug regulators also use for seasonal flu vaccines. Clinical tests on new vaccines can take up to a year or more.
The European Medicines Agency said approving a swine flu vaccine for EU countries could take five days.
The WHO said Northern Hemisphere countries, as well as Southern Hemisphere doctors and nurses, should get a vaccine first because swine flu is expected to surge in the north when the regular flu season begins later this year.
Sanofi Pasteur has contracts with several governments, including France and the U.S., to provide swine flu vaccine and other products in bulk.
Meanwhile, Swiss pharmaceutical Novartis AG said this week it started testing its swine flu vaccine in about 6,000 people in Britain, Germany and the U.S.
Last month, Australian company CSL also began testing its vaccine in Australia.
The vaccines being tested by Novartis and Sanofi Pasteur contain adjuvants - ingredients intended to boost the body's immune response. Adjuvants, which also stretch a vaccine's active ingredient further to make more doses, are used in European flu vaccines but not in the U.S. The WHO has recommended they be used in swine flu vaccines to increase the global supply.
Health officials have said there is little or no information on how vaccines containing adjuvants affect pregnant women and children - two groups thought to be particularly vulnerable to swine flu.

I love conspiracy, It rings so close to truth. So, as my part of throwing gasoline onto the fire, imagine this. There are RFID tags in the H1N1 immunizations, and only after being 'scanned' will you be allowed to do anything, go anywhere, buy anything, etc. (Are you fundamentalists paying attention)?
With the reports of genetically engineered DNA in the H1N1 virus, including weaponization vectors, and the squalene in the injection serum, I'll wash my hands, use essential oils (thyme, oregano, cinnamon and rosemary in a carrier oil) available at www.mybluehealer.com and take my chances with the virus.
Succinctly, not a chance in Hell I'm getting vaccinated. Mandatory? Time to throw off the tyrant.
you are way off

There are none of these strange things in vaccines. Please don't raise a ruckus about this.
However, everyone must understand that there are inherent dangers in vaccination per se. I don't think the public has been adequately educated about this.
First, there are no things in vaccines to sterilize people. This is crazy.
Second, there's been much hoopla about the mercuric compound (thimerisol), which up until about 5, maybe 7, years ago, was removed from new vaccines (and I think by now, the existing stock with thimerisol has been exhausted).
Third, from the inherent danger aspect of vaccination, there are always cases of Guillian-Barre syndrome after pretty much any vaccine. But very small percentage. There's also something else, and this is something I've been mulling over and checking research about: there's something that happens in the vetrinary field when animals are given multiple vaccines, called 'vaccinosis'. It's apparently a 'reaction' to an onslaught of immunogens all at once. I'm betting this is what happens to young kids/infants, who are given multiple vaccines at a single doctors' visit. If you or someone you know has a child, you'll know what I mean. This is totally a matter of convenience for the doctor, and probably the insurance company. Luckily, my daughter's pediatrician didn't do this (I can't remember now if it was because I protested or whether this was just a really smart doctor).
Further, I personally do not take seasonal flu vaccines, mainly because they've not had time to be tested properly (they're manufactures 3 - 4 months before shooting into people). I don't know if I'll take, or have my daughter take, the upcoming swine flu vaccine - I'm still mulling over the facts.
In conclusion, please do your research before you say stupid things about vaccines. I'm sure you can find anyone on the internet who says crazy stupid things about vaccines. You don't have to take this stuff as fact. You can learn the facts yourself, if you want to.

Silvanus, I'd keep with
— Aug 09, 2009
Silvanus,
I'd keep with those intentions were I you.
Bruce,
Actually, that would make perfect sense. The RFID would be introduced with a 'have you been vaccinated' excuse. Other uses no doubt to follow.
I've been thinking for some time that those who intentionally avoid the vaccine will by necessity take a large step back from participation in conventional society. At such a point all those alternate ways of living we've been talking about will become a lot less theoretical.
Elisa,
Oh, I've done my research.I spend great amounts of time every day doing just that, on a great many topics. So, I happen to have a fairly good idea of what I'm talking about here but if you disagree that's your right as a free and sentient being. Just as it is yours to take the shot, and then the consequences.
The suggestion that thimerosol was ever removed from vaccines suggests it's you who might benefit from some wider research. It went like this: there was an uproar over the mercury. So the pharmaceutical corporations told you they'd taken it out, manufactured batches without ... and quietly commenced the phasing in of a newer, cheaper vaccine. Cheap because it contained the wonder-preservative, thimerosol. Which is why 13 Muluc up there knows (as is by now fairly well known) that the swine flu vaccine is to contain it, too. After all, all those shots, producing and storing them is quite expensive so ... costs must be kept down.
However, you might do well to remember as you approach the clinic that there's a chance you might be wrong. There's a chance you're walking into the embrace of the culminating moment of the most audacious crime ever contemplated: to steel everyone's stuff (that's the current phase) and then kill them all off whilst keeping any survivors as tightly locked down as they can.
Hey, maybe I'm wrong. I ask myself that every day. It's certainly happened before. So I'll go off and think about that and you contemplate the consequences for you and those you love if this plot I describe happens to be an ongoing and deadly serious project.

"On the subject of RFID mind-control chips, I think it would be very hard to tell if most people were being affected in this way, since they already act like they are."
LOL.
And as to everything else: yes, precisely. So, phase one to making sure things don't go anything as planned: raise the alert. Make it impossible for the plan to proceed without the psychopaths drawing all eyes to them as the murderous thieves responsible for the bloody act. It is time, I would suggest, to raise such a clamor over this one issue, the swine flu vaccine, as has never been heard before. Time to ask for inspiration, to wonder 'what can I do to raise awareness?', and then act along whatever lines occur. Not large, one-time protests that draw the fleeting attention of the media (assuming they manage that at all), but many small acts of theatre, a sort of cultural swarming attack by individual media pranksters who each draw a little bit of attention, affecting those locally present more directly than any sign-waving slogan-shouting rally ever could. It would not be long at all before no one could say they hadn't been warned, and as events unfold, they will react and then act in the light of that knowledge.
The Revolution is Within
individual media pranksters
— Aug 22, 2009
individual media pranksters would certainly be an effective avenue for raising awareness. I just wanted to add that while listening to an interview on NPR the other day, a doctor from the WHO had the audacity to say that "Science has closed the book on thimerosol. It is safe." all the while admitting that it contains mercury. It is hard to imagine that anyone could hear a statement like that and not be alarmed, at least a little bit.
We don't need to generalize,
— Sep 11, 2009
We don't need to generalize, we don't need to go into any conspiracies. The fact is, motivation doesn't mean anything. What matters is the results. I don't care if it's a conspiracy or not. What I care about is what health effects the vaccines cause and if they are adverse, I have to weigh that against the disease and the chances of contracting the disease and the strength of my immune system to overcome such a thing. I have to compare these things with the potential damaging effects of the so-called protection and with the alternative therapies and prophylactics . There are enough facts showing that vaccines cause damage and weaken the body to convince me, and that's all that matters to me as a free citizen of this republic.
For more information about the potential risks and a history of vaccines, how they work and how effective they've been or not been, Gary Null have a slew of information: http://www.garynull.com/Documents/niin/how_vaccinations_work.htm and there's more in his other articles and white papers.
I myself had a very strong immune system, could eat whatever I wanted and hardly ever got sick until I made the mistake several years ago of taking a flu vaccine. Not only did I get sick from the vaccine, but a whole slew of health issues cropped up immediately afterward and haven't left me since. I have been plagued with new allergies, including food allergies that cause me great angst, that I never had before, and other disagreeable autoimmune responses that confound me despite my almost anal attention to healthy living, eating and thinking to regain homeostasis. Nothing seems to bring me back to where I was before that vaccine entered my body. I regret ever having that vaccine. What was I thinking!
I still think that the people who think vaccines work should get them, and leave the rest of us alone. You, who get vaccinated will be "protected" so why worry about those who haven't gone that route. What people also often forget is that THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO PROTECT ONESELF FROM DISEASE. Vaccines are only one way, not "the" way. In this so called democratic society, my vote is to keep that stuff out of my body. If you vote to put in into your body, more power to you. If you think that's the only way, here's a newsflash, it's the only way FOR YOU. Not for everyone. Don't get all religious on the rest of us.
We're all not going to get sick just because we've avoided a shot. No, in fact, you may still get sick if you partake, compounding the damage it's already done to your ability to fight invaders effectively. I choose to treat my health and ensure it using different methods. I choose to stay healthy using different methods. If you have a problem with this, I would like to remind you that other methods work, and that we do not live in a publicly declared dictatorship, not yet anyhow.
I am not talking about being irresponsible here, I am talking about alternatives, viable alternatives, and they do exist. So, never mind about conspiracy, it's just a distraction from what's really important. The label 'conspiracy' is a convenient broad-brush label which is being used to discredit honest and legitimate criticisms and problems with the vaccine method of staying healthy. Who cares about motivation, I only care about results. I care about actions and results. Right now actions are being taken to limit our freedom to choose how we stay healthy. The result is that not only are the methods being shoved down our throats questionably effective, but their safety is in question also according to many doctors and researchers. Vaccine manufacturers have yet to prove the safety of their products. Just read their package inserts, they are a real eye-openers.
That being said, on the other hand, I don't care how much evidence you show that they work. What I am talking about here is the right to choose my own method of health care. Other methods work also. We are not inherently weak. Effective sanitation, excellent personal hygiene, clean healthy wholesome food and water, plus a healthy mental outlook go a long way toward ensuring health.
This is a question of freedom to choose for oneself how to ensure one's own health. The argument I've heard ad naseum is that unvaccinated people will sicken everyone else around them. Do you think people who avoid vaccines want to get sick and want to sicken everyone else around them? No. In fact, I am guessing that they take better care of themselves than people who choose to vaccinate because their choice demonstrates at least an initial understanding that lifestyle plays a key role in overall health and immunity.
The magic pill doesn't exist, get over it. If you want to take our freedom to choose how we care for ourselves away from us and still call yourself an American, you are officially exposed. I don't need a conspiracy theory to call you out.
Here are some of the many people over the years who have been strong critics of the vaccine method of health care.

ARTICLE:
Flu Vaccine (article taken from: http://www.whale.to/vaccine/flu3.html)
International Vaccination Newsletter
Influenza is a specific syndrome, provoked by a specific viral agent, the influenza virus. The symptoms may be severe, or even lead to exitus in people with a weakened general condition.
Two main families have been detected, influenza A and B. But there are many strains of influenza viruses, and, moreover, existing strains mutate all the time. It is, therefore, an extremely difficult task to 'foresee' the causative agent of a new influenza epidemic, and even more difficult to produce a corresponding vaccine in time. The constant mutation of the viruses, and the unpredictability of which virus will show up where and when, makes the whole influenza vaccination business into a giant poker game.
The most intriguing deception of the public, however, is the suggestion that the patient who gets an influenza-vaccination will not get the flu. What is generally known to the public as 'a flu' is an influenza-like syndrome, with symptoms like fever, chills, muskel- or joint pains, a headache, a runny nose, and general malaise. This disease, however, has got nothing to do with the real influenza, neither can it in any way be prevented by an influenza vaccination. Thus, if doctors guarantee their patients that they will not get the flu after they came in to get their jab, this is an unethical manipulation, the basis for which most probably is simply profit for both those who produce the vaccine and those who administer it.
Apart from this manipulation, questions have to be answered as to the efficacy and the safety of the vaccine.
Efficacy
The lack of efficacy of the vaccine is well illustrated in a Dutch article (1) about a home for elderly people, where in spite of vaccination of two thirds of the population, a severe flu struck 49% of them, with strong morbidity (bacterial infections, pneumonia) and high mortality (10%). An important observation was that in the vaccinated population, 50% got the disease, compared to 48% of non-vaccinated. Also, complement binding antibodies for influenza A were positive in 41% of vaccinated compared to 36% in non-vaccinated. This clearly shows that the vaccination status did not have a protective influence at all. Further laboratory investigation confirmed that antibody building against the vaccine was normal, but the causative influenza A virus had not reacted to the vaccine the patients had been given.
Comparison with a similar situation in 1988 in a home for elderly people shows that in that second case both morbidity and mortality were significantly lower, namely 37 and 3%, respectively. The main difference, however, was ... that in this second home patients had not been vaccinated!
Induction of antibodies in elderly people never is higher than 52-67% (2). Morris even declares the efficiency is not more than about 20% (3). Mistakes in production, transport, conservation and administration can be responsible for a further decrease of efficacy (4).
Safety
Questions about the safety of influenza vaccines are not new. As early as 1973, Rabin wrote that between 1966 and 1970 almost all USA-made influenza vaccines were toxic (5).
I. Neurological complications
For many years, neurological complications of influenza vaccination were simply denied. In 1966, Stuart-Harris wrote that "There is little direct evidence that any of these neurological illnesses during or after influenza are specifically caused by the influenza virus" (6). And in 1971, Wells still believed that "There is at present no way of proving or of disproving the aethiological relationship" (7).
Later on, USA studies proved that there was indeed a relationship between both. Observations during and after the A/New Jersey mass vaccination campaign in 1976 lead to convincing statistics (see GBS). German authors calculated the frequency of neurological complications at 1/0.7 million doses for influenza B vaccines and at 1/1.3 million vaccinations for influenza A vaccines (4). It is clear that for these figures, only documented cases have been taken into account, whereas as a rule not all cases have been properly diagnosed and reported. The real figures, thus, are likely to be higher. The first syndrome to be clearly correlated with the influenza-vaccination was the Guillain-Barre paralysis (1977). But only one year later, researchers discovered that neurological complications were not at all restricted to this one syndrome; on the contrary, they found a good number of neurological affections (8). Hennessen et.al. call the spectrum of syndromes "remarquably wide" and notice that in the course of a postvaccination disease process it is not rare for them to mingle into many different mixtures.
Although the first syndromes were detected after the A/New Jersey mass vaccination, complications after influenza vaccination can in no way be attributed or limited to this one vaccine. All 28 cases described by Hennessen et. al. e.g. were vaccinated with vaccines that did not contain this A/New Jersey strain.
More epidemiological data were gathered by Hennessen et al. The incidence of affections was significantly higher in autumn (September-November), four times more common in males than in females, in all age groups (16-73 years old) with an average age of 38,9 years. The interval between vaccination and first symptoms varied between 24 hours and 4 weeks, with an average of 11.3 days (8).
A. Paralysis
1) Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
The relationship between influenza-vaccination and GBS was proven after the 1976 A/New Jersey mass vaccination in the USA. In eleven states, comparable samples of vaccinated and non-vaccinated proved that in those vaccinated GBS occured in 1,55/million, compared to 0,17 in non-vaccinated (9,11 times more frequent in those vaccinated). (Hennessen quotes different figures: 8,0/million in vaccinated compared to 1,8/million in non-vaccinated 8). 31% of cases were over 60 years old. Only 12% occured within 7 days after vaccination, 74% between 8 and 28 days, and 14% even after one month 9. Most cases were diagnosed between 2 and 4 weeks after vaccination. Single cases occured up to 9 weeks after vaccination. Ehrengut & Allerdist mention that, within 3 weeks after vaccination, the frequency already is up to 3,12 cases per million vaccinees 4, which would raise the risk factor for vaccinees to 18,35.
Ehrengut and Allerdist describe a case which progressed from paralysis of the extremities to affection of the intercostal muscles and facial paralysis (4). This complication may occur in normal, healthy individuals without any preliminary disease.
More cases were described during an IABS Symposium in Geneva, 1977 (10).
2) Facialis paralysis
This symptom generally occurs as part of a Guillain-Barre Syndrome (4, 8). 3) Paralysis of the extremities
Paralysis of both upper limbs occured in a 40 year old man, with severe pain, atrophy of deltoideus muskles and hypoesthesia of the right arm after inoculation in the left upper arm (4).
Paresis of both lower limbs in a 58 year old man (4).
Wells describes two cases of myelitis transversa (7).
4) Landry syndrome (8)
5) Hypoglossus nerve paralysis (11)
B. Polyneuritis
Polyneuritis may occur in hands and feet, eventually accompanied of paralytic symptoms (4). Cases of polyradiculitis, polyradiculomyelitis and polyganglioradiculitis are documented.
1) Hypoesthesia
2) Paresthesia (formication and numbness) have been noticed (4, 8).
3) Neuralgia
a) Trigeminus neuralgia (8)
b) Ischialgia (right sided) (8)
c) Intercostal neuralgia (chestpain) (8)
d) Sensory brachial plexus neuropathy (Parsonage-Turner Syndrome) (8, 12, 13).
C. Meningitis
Meningeal infection and a stiff neck with positive lumbar punction can exist separately, or as part of a GBS syndrome (4).
D. Encephalitis
Encephalomyelitis and encephalopathy after influenza vaccination have been documented. A case was described by Ehrengut & Allerdist with loss of sight, then complete loss of consciousness and paralysis (4). Case 10 described by Hennessen had encephalitis with central disturbance of the N. Vestibularis (8). Also case 13 in the same study had encephalitis. Case 20 & 21 were diagnosed as meningoencephalomyelitis. Woods describes a case of encephalitis in a healthy seven year old girl in 1963 (14), Warren in 1956 (15), and another two cases were documented in 1962 (16).
E. Multiple Sclerosis
Some authors described a "recurrent encephalomyelitic syndrome" after vaccination (17, 18). Hennessen et al saw a similar case, where they were able to make the certain diagnosis of MS (8).
An exacerbation of symptoms was noticed in 1 out of 93 MS-patients vaccinated against influenza 19, 20.
F. Ataxia
Difficulties in walking in a 34 year old man were noticed, nine months after his influenza vaccination. The sensitive polyneuritis which also started shortly after vaccination had not subsided by that time. Right sided ataxia of lower limbs (8).
G. Headache
A strong headache (8) occuring within hours after vaccination is suggestive for meningeal or brain irriatation and deserves immediate further investigation.
H. Disorientation about places (8)
I. Unconsciousness
Multiple drop attacks occured in a case described by St�r & Mayer (21).
J. Trembling of upper limbs (21)
K. Automatic motions of fingers and toes (21)
L. Aphasia (loss of speech) (8)
II. Respiratory Infections
A. Bronchitis
A strong bronchitis with fever was noticed in a 29-year old man who also developed GBS later on (4).
B. Bronchopneumonia
This occured in a 41 year old man, where symptoms started with paresthesia of fingertips, and ended up with death, 4 weeks after vaccination. Pneumonia 14 days after vaccination (8).
III. Gastro-intestinal problems
A. Vomiting
This happened to a man 13 days after vaccination; paralytic symptoms were noticed later on (4).
B. Nausea (8)
C. Rectal incontinence (8)
IV. Urinary symptoms
Dysuria or paralysis of the bladder
Difficulties with urination bothered a man 13 days after vaccination; a distention of the bladder was diagnosed. Complete paralysis of the bladder with necessity of catheterisation followed. Paralytic symptoms of the extremities were noticed later on (4).
V. Sexual problems
Impotence
Lessening of sexual potency lasted for over 3 months in a patient who suffered GBS (4). Sexual impotence (4).
VI. ORL
A. Vertigo
Vertigo with tendency to fall to the right side, 5 days after vaccination, accompanied an encephalitis in an eighteen year old male 4. Vertigo with nystagmus, within minutes after vaccination, so strong that the 13 year old, healthy boy could not even stand up or sit anymore (4). Affection of the N. Vestibularis in combination with encephalitis (8).
B. Noises in the ears (8)
C. Impeded hearing (8)
VII. Eyes
A. Prooptosis (8)
B. Oedema of the retina (8)
C. Diminished vision; blurred vision (8)
D. Diplopia (8)
E. Nystagmus (8)
F. Paralysis of eye muscles (cranial nerves VII & IX) (8)
VIII. Circulatory problems
A. Collapse (8)
B. Transient livid discoloration of the hands (8).
C. Allergic thrombocytopenia in a 58 years old man 7 days after vaccination.
D. Disturbed blood pressure (both increased of decreased) (8).
E. Angor pectoris (8).
F. Collapse (8)
Hennessen et al describe some cases, both in elderly men with either hyper- or hypotonic crises, but also in a young man with ophistotonus, and tonic-clonic fits within minutes after vaccination.
IX. General symptoms
A. Fever
Fever occurs together with other syndromes, e.g. meningitis or GBS.
B. Somnolence
This may also be part of a larger neurological syndrome, such as GBS (4), (8).
C. Fatigue
Fatigue can be part of a general decrease of functional capacities (21).
Chronic fatigue is known to last for years after the infection subsided (4).
D. Anaphylactic reactions
Typical for anaphylactic reactions is the short incubation time.
Ehrengut & Allerdist describe such a reaction in an allergic person 1/2 h after vaccination (4). Warren describes a case where the reaction followed 4 to 5 hours after vaccination with fever, coryza and bronchospasms (15).
X. Mental problems
A. Difficulty in thinking (21)
B. Loss of initiative (21)
C. Confusion (14)
D. Hallucinations (14)
XI. Emotional problems
Sadness (21)
XII. Death
A 41 year old man died 4 weeks after vaccination, after progressive polyneuropathy and bronchopneumonia had developed (4). Death within 4 days (7).
Age Distribution
The many case descriptions available in medical literature prove that all age groups are susceptible to side effects.
Particularly important is the frequency of patients with serious side effects after the vaccine had been given for several years without any problem. This means that a lack of side effects after a vaccination is not a guarantee of safety of administration of the same vaccine in that patient later on.
From those who suffered GBS after vaccination, 11% were under 30 years of age, 58% were between 30 and 59, and 31% were 60 and more.
Etiology
Different mechanisms can play a role in the development of a post-vaccination neuropathy.
a) Hypersensitivity reactions of the nervous system (serogenetic) are responible in a good number of cases. Poser and Fowler describe similarities between GBS and serum disease.
b) Toxic reactions may occur soon after inoculation of the patient in the absense of specific allergies.
c) Viral infection of the brain by vaccinal viruses (4) or by reactivation of latent germs (21).
d) Activation of latent auto-immune diseases (21).
The fact that different vaccines from different manufacturers lead to similar complications, suggests that these are not the consequence of the impurity of a certain vaccine, but a risk inherent in any influenza vaccine.
Contra-Indications
Any impairment of the immune system should be considered a contra-indication.
1. Allergies, especially to any substance of the vaccines; allergy to proteins, cowsmilk etc.; hay fever... Allergic constitutions often lead to hypersensitive reactions (8).
2. Akute infections with or without fever must be a reason to postpone or abandon vaccination.
3. Chronic impairment of the immune system (auto-immune diseases) imply an increased risk in case of vaccination.

FLUVIRAL S/F®
IAF BioVac
Whole-Virion and Split-Virion Influenza Virus Vaccine, Inactivated
Influenza Prophylaxis
Description: Fluviral S/F is a trivalent, inactivated, whole-virion, influenza vaccine prepared from virus grown in the allantoic cavity of embryonated hen's eggs. The viruses are inactivated with formaldehyde and purified by centrifugation. The split-virion vaccine is prepared by disruption of the virus with sodium deoxycholate.
Indications And Clinical Uses: For the active immunization of people in the following groups: 1. Adults and children with: chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders (including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis and asthma) severe enough to require regular medical follow-up or hospital care; other chronic conditions such as diabetes and other metabolic diseases, cancer, immunodeficiency (including HIV infection) or immunosuppression, renal disease and anemia.
Chronic cardiac and pulmonary disorders in persons over the age of 45 are by far the most important risk factors for influenza-related mortality.
2. Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities: Such residents generally have one or more medical conditions outlined in group 1. In addition, their institutional environment may promote spread of the disease. Recent studies have shown that the use of vaccine in this setting will decrease occurence of illness, and has an even greater impact in reducing hospitalization, pneumonia and death.
3. Geriatrics: Persons over 65 years of age: The risk of severe morbidity and mortality related to influenza is moderately increased in healthy persons over 65 years of age but is not nearly as great as in persons with chronic underlying disease.
4. Health-care personnel who have extensive contact with individuals in the high-risk groups 1 to 3 above.
The potential for introducing influenza to persons in the high-risk groups outlined above, particularly those in institutions, should be reduced through vaccination programs targeted in health-care personnel.
5. Children and adolescents (aged 6 months to 18 years) treated for long periods with ASA: Treatment with ASA for long periods might increase the risk of Reye's Syndrome after influenza infection.
6. Household contacts (including children) of individuals at risk: Because low antibody responses to influenza vaccine may occur in some individuals at high risk (e.g. the elderly, HIV infected, and transplant recipients), this strategy may reduce the chances that these patients will be exposed to influenza.
Other persons who provide essential community services may be considered for vaccination programs to minimize disruption of such services in severe epidemics. Influenza vaccine may also be administered to those persons who wish to reduce their chances of acquiring infection.
Pregnancy: The same criteria apply to the vaccination of pregnant women as to other subjects. There is no evidence that influenza vaccine presents any danger whatsoever to the mother or the fetus.
Fluviral S/F can be administered at the same time as (but in a different site from) the pneumococcal vaccine without any deleterious effect on the immune response to either.
Contra-Indications: Fluviral S/F should not be given to subjects with an acute respiratory infection or with any other active infection or serious febrile illness. On the other hand, a minor indisposition such as a mild infection of the upper respiratory tract is not necessarily a contraindication to vaccination.
Allergic reactions are extremely rare and usually attributable to extreme sensitivity to certain components of the vaccine, probably to trace amounts of residual egg protein. Vaccination is not recommended for subjects who develop anaphylactic type reactions when they eat eggs (urticaria, edema of the mouth and throat, difficulty in breathing, hypotension and shock). Subjects whose allergy to eggs is not of the anaphylactic type, as well as those who are allergic to chicken and to feathers may be vaccinated.
Do not administer this vaccine to individuals known to be sensitive to thimerosal or gelatin.
Manufacturers' Warnings In Clinical States: It is possible that the normal immune response following influenza vaccination may not develop in subjects undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.
Precautions: Sterile epinephrine solution 1:1 000 should always be readily available in case an acute anaphylactic reaction should occur.
Increase of serum theophylline to toxic levels following the administration of influenza vaccine has been recorded in individuals who take oral theophylline as a maintenance therapy. Some doctors recommended a cessation of theophylline or a reduction in dose for 24 hours following vaccination.
The administration of influenza vaccine may also delay the hepatic metabolism of other medications such as oral anticoagulants.
Pregnancy: There is no evidence that the influenza vaccine presents any danger whatsoever to the mother or to the fetus. Administering the vaccine after the first trimester is a reasonable precaution to minimize any concern over the theoretical risk of teratogenicity. However, it is undesirable to delay vaccination of pregnant women who have high-risk conditions and who will still be in the first trimester of pregnancy when the influenza season begins.
Children: Use of the vaccine in infants under 6 months of age has not yet been evaluated and therefore is not recommended.
Information for the Patient: Patients should be informed of the most common side effects: Local reactions: Soreness and redness at the injection site that may last for up to 2 days. Systemic reactions: fever, headache, myalgia. These reactions begin 6 to 12 hours after vaccination and can persist for 1 or 2 days.
Note: Should these symptoms persist or worsen, patients should be instructed to see a physician.
Adverse Reactions: Subvirion, or split-virion vaccines contain purified portions of the virus rather than the entire virus. Generally, these have been shown to be associated with fewer adverse effects in children and young adults, while maintaining an immunogenicity similar to that of whole virus preparations. Because of their lower rates of side-effects, only split virus preparations are recommended for children under 13 years of age.
1. Local and systemic reactions are reported after vaccination with a split-virion influenza vaccine.
The data in Table I and Table II have been derived from three studies with three lots of IAF BioVac Inc. split-virion vaccine (A, B, C) compared to another subvirion vaccine (D) and to a whole virion vaccine (E) from IAF BioVac Inc.
There were very few reports of fever as defined by temperature over 38°C.
Soreness at the injection site was the most frequently reported symptom, and was generally rated as mild and resolved the day after vaccination.
For systemic symptoms, headache and muscle aches were the most common. As with local symptoms, these were generally reported as mild and of limited duration.
2. Immediate, allergic-type, responses, such as hives, angioedema, allergic asthma, or systemic anaphylaxis occur extremely rarely. These reactions probably result from sensitivity to some vaccine component - most likely residual egg proteins (see Contraindications).
There have been reports of other neurological illnesses, including facial paralysis, encephalitis, encephalopathy, demyelinating disease and labyrinthitis, associated with other influenza vaccines. Any relationship, other than temporal, to the vaccine has not been established.
Notification of Reactions: It is desirable that all unusual reactions, arising from any vaccination whatsoever, or following shortly thereafter, be reported to the manufacturer of the product and to the provincial epidemiologist.
Dosage And Administration: See Table III.
Since the likelihood of febrile convulsions is greater in children aged 6 to 35 months, special care should be taken in weighing relative risks and benefits in this group.
Administration: Caution: A separate sterile syringe and needle or a sterile disposable unit should be used for each injection to prevent transmission of hepatitis B virus, HIV virus, or other infectious agents from one person to another.
Check carefully the expiry date of the vaccine and note that this date applies to unopened containers only. Any vaccine beyond its expiry date should not be used.
Shake the container vigorously each time before withdrawing vaccine.
Never remove the rubber stopper from the container. Moisten the surface of the rubber stopper with a tampon of sterile cotton wool soaked in a suitable antiseptic and allow the antiseptic to act for a few moments, then wipe dry with a sterile dry swab. Draw into the syringe a volume of air equal to the amount of vaccine to be withdrawn from the container. Shake the container vigorously then pierce the center of the rubber stopper with the sterile needle attached to the syringe. Turn the vial upside down and inject into it the air from the syringe. Keeping the point of the needle immersed in the vaccine, withdraw immediately (into the syringe) the desired volume.
Disinfect the skin at the site of injection with a suitable antiseptic and wipe dry with a tampon of sterile cotton wool. The injection of 0.5 mL of Fluviral, should be given i.m., usually in the deltoid muscle.
Do not inject i.v.
To avoid injection into a vein, it is necessary, before injecting the dose of vaccine, to withdraw the piston of the syringe sufficiently to ensure that the needle has not entered a blood vessel.
All vaccines should be observed for about 15 minutes after vaccination. If an anaphylactic reaction develops, sterile epinephrine (1:1 000) should be administered.
It is desirable that the entire contents of a multidose vial be used at the same vaccination session.
Elimination: Fluviral S/F vaccine and materials used during vaccination may be disposed of in the same way as other drugs. Since Fluviral S/F is an inactivated vaccine, it presents no risk of contaminating the work area during manipulation.
Availability And Storage: Each dose of 0.5 mL contains: haemaglutinin 15 µg of each of the following strains: A/Texas/36/91 (H1N1), A/Johannesburg/33/94 (H3N2), B/Harbin/7/94. The composition of Fluviral S/F for the 1995-96 season has been established in agreement with the recommendations of the Canadian National Advisory Committee on Immunization (N.A.C.I.). Thimerosal 0.01% is present in both whole and split-virion preparations as a preservative. Split-virion vaccine also contains 0.025% gelatin as a stabilizer and trace residual amounts of deoxycholate. Vials of 5 mL (10 doses).
Store in the refrigerator between 2 and 8°C. Do not freeze. Freezing destroys activity. Do not use vaccine which has been frozen.

Perhaps it's as simple as following one's intuition. If that's the case, then the next question is: how to better tune into one's intuition so one can hear/sense it clearly?
