Swine Flu vaccine has mercury inside

Recently, it was confirmed that the swine flu vaccine is to keep timerosal based on condom use mercury. In fact, one study suggests that the amount of vaccine each timerosal to a full dose of mercury. In addition to the risks of mercury, also confirmed that the nasal spray contains live virus, which has led to fears that the deal with a table of live virus in hospitals across the country.

The concern with the live virus, infecting even those who do not receive the vaccine through a nasal spray form, resulted in some hospitals in Mississippi and other states near the government's proposals of the vaccine swine flu nasal spray for health professionals.

Mercury is a toxin associated with autism and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The timerosal widely used in the field of vaccines and immunization as a preservative.

Although both centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Institute of Medicine, deny the link between the use of timerosal that have a causal relationship between vaccination and an increased incidence of autism, an epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten, and Dr. Richard Johnston, immunologists and pediatrics, University of Colorado, and concluded that timerosal is responsible for the sharp increase of cases of autism, but its findings were rejected by the CDC.

Studies have shown that the prevalence of autism has increased 1500% since 1991, when compulsory vaccinations for children in two respects. Until 1991, only 1 in every 2500 children diagnosed with autism. This figure is now 1 in 166 children.

Studies on the effects of mercury in the system has been going on for over a quarter century. Even in 1977 a study was conducted in Russia have shown that adults tend to etilmercurio, a form of mercury in timerosal, suffered brain damage years later.

Studies on the timerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and a nervous system, including obnubilació, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned the timerosal vaccines for children in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Britain and all Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative.

According to an article in the Washington Post in July 2009, despite the concerns expressed by timerosal and mercury, which led to the preservation of being reduced or eliminated most of the vaccine in the past five years, the ingredients timerosal H1N1 vaccine.

"Some of the vaccines will be stored in containers that contain multiple timerosal, an antibacterial additive, which contains mercury.

"It will also be a single dose syringe without timerosal, but not yet confirmed if consumers have choice, or even be informed if they offer the vaccine contains mercury.

According to the AP article was reported in early July, "the authorities of the vaccine and federal officials would be immune from legal processes that result in any new vaccine against swine flu, according to a document signed by Minister of Health and Human Services Human Kathleen Sebelius, because the government has already taken steps to allow them full immunity claims.

Thousands get Swine Flu Vaccine

The fight to curb swine influenza pandemic escalated in Orange County today with the opening of two public clinics, which drew thousands of people for a quick sniff of the vaccine.

County Health Care Agency estimated that it gave at least 3,300 doses of vaccine in the nose free one-day clinics in Santa Ana and Irvine. It took several hundred doses less than expected to give the remains of the three clinics are planned for this coming weekend.

Vaccines are nationally limited. This is the first Orange County clinics are limited to small children and adults caring for babies too young to get the vaccine itself. If this line was not in these two categories, they do not get the vaccine.

Parents started lining up before dawn Saturday at Santa Ana clinic to ensure that their children would Flumist quick spray vaccine is given. The line stretched on the campus of Santa Ana College, around a swimming pool and a football field - at least 1200 people in total - even before the doors opened.

Rhonda Biel, 45, of Huntington Beach, was first in line at 5:30 She identified some continuing concerns about the safety of the vaccine, but said the alternative - H1N1 Influenza - "narrower."

Her 9-year-old son, Connor, who described the vaccine experience when he left the clinic with blueberry lolly: "She, this wet stuff in your nose and give you a tissue, so it would not drool all over your face."

Health officials estimate 1,600 people received the vaccine clinic Saturday at Santa Ana in 1700 and got it in Irvine. It took a couple of hours to work through the long lines at both clinics early, at noon, but people could go and not wait to get a vaccine.
The clinics targeting children between 2 and 9 years old and healthy adults caring for babies 6 months and younger. These groups appear to a higher risk for flu, health officials said children also need half the dose, approximately four weeks after the first, because the vaccine is effective.

The demand for a vaccine against the swine flu has overwhelmed some public vaccination clinics in Los Angeles County and elsewhere. But the organizers here reported no such problems and said the audience was moving well, despite the beginning of the lines.

The secret was simple: bright orange arm bands given to children and adults after a quick pre-screening interview with a health professional. These bracelets ensure that enough vaccine for them when they reached the front line.

Donna Fleming, head of county public health operations, the bracelet called "Willy Wonka golden ticket."

At least 102 people in Orange County is busy with H1N1 influenza, according to county Health Agency. Complications of influenza has killed 23 people here, including four children and two pregnant women.

The flu season is not usually peak in January or February. But the so-called swine flu has spread so rapidly that much harder to say when it will peak, "said Dr. Nancy Bowen, Chief Medical Officer in the county public health.

"We never see the level as this so early in the year," she said.

Approximately 1.6 million Orange County residents are a priority group for vaccination because of their age, health or occupation. But County Health Agency has so far only 43,700 and 19,200 doses of nasal spray vaccine shots. Private providers are also an unknown amount Flumist directly from the distributor of the state.

Saturday, Donald Han, 39, of Anaheim Santa Ana came to the hospital with her two young sons, when the doors opened. A volunteer made him the back of the line - after more than 1,000 people. But it was worth, he said.
