They seem to want their cake and eat it too.... if the jab is so safe ? why did they remove, any possibility of the companies making the vaccine, being taken to court if there were any side effects ? It is safe !!! so therefore, no side effects !!! so therefore, no dead people's families, or people with side effects, taking them to court !!! 'It is safe'
or should that read 'Is it safe'
Tamiflu .... we were told that the young should have it as soon as they showed signs of the flu !! so they handed it out ad hock to all and sundry ...then we are told that it is unsafe to use on the under 12's ( the British Medical Journal warned the government to "rethink it's policy on giving the drugs to youngsters affected by the current flu pandemic to avoid any unnecessary ill health" )
http://www.managementinpractice.com/default.asp?title=NHSconsideringtrialofvaccineonchildren&page=article.display&article.id=18075 The government then say there is no proof it harms children !! who is telling them this ....
Surely the BMJ know what they are talking about, don't they
http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2009/08/14/carl-heneghan-and-matthew-thompson-on-tamiflu-in-children-whats-all-the-fuss/ The facts are that Tamiflu only reduces the length of FLU like symptoms by UPTO a day in young children and by UPTO half a day in adults !!! . Tamiflu was not made for swine flu !!! swine flu didn't exist when Tamiflu was made !!!! (or did it ?) how can you make an anti viral, for a virus that doesn't exist
At best it can only reduce some symptoms associated with FLU. However, it should not be given for mild flu like symptoms , as stated by the WHO.
Anyone volunteering their kids for the trial of the vaccine
? 6 mths to 12 years old . No need to worry folks, the government have told us it is safe !!!!
cheers
