Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. CEO for the committee in my head revealing sarcastic, hedonistic commentary on secrets of life, politics and the H1N1 Swine Flu.
In it’s infinite wisdom, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved yet another seasonal flu vaccine on Friday, November 27, 2009. Agriflu, manufactured by Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics in Siena, Italy, was approved for people ages 18 years and older to prevent the seasonal flu (influenza virus subtypes A and B). It is not effective against the H1N1 Swine flu. The approval of the new seasonal influenza vaccine, Agriflu, is an important step in adding to the production capacity to enhance the supply of vaccine for the United States for future influenza seasons,” said Karen Midthun, M.D., acting director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.http://www.examiner.com/x-9696-SF-Senior-Care-Examiner~y2009m11d28-New-seasonal-flu-vaccine-approved-Agriflu
The symptoms of H1N1 are similar to those of regular seasonal flu. Virtually all the flu now in this country is H1N1 and not the seasonal flu, although there are other flu-like viruses that cause many illnesses. Nationally, in the first six months since the arrival of H1N1, an estimated 22 million Americans became ill with H1N1, 98,000 were hospitalized, and 3,900 died, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease. via http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/859656.html
Whether it is caving to pharmaceutical pressure or what, America now has Agriflu added to its list of acceptable vaccines, further opening the door to allow Novartis to produce variated swine flu or some other pandemic vaccine in the future. The U.S. requires that H1N1 manufacturers be licensed for the seasonal flu first- which is why Baxter Pharmaceutical and others were not permitted to have access to millions of patients in America. Seeing as there is no seasonal flu so to speak of, my antenna are up.
Novartis of Switzerland is expected to supply nearly half of the vaccines in the U.S. and applied for it’s Swine Flu vaccine patent on November 6, 2006. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) accepted and granted the application, US 20090047353 for a “Split Influenza Vaccine with Adjuvants” in February 2009, just about the time the flu was beginning to spread. Celtura is the Novel H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine produced by Novartis. For more on the patent conspiracy http://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/swine-flu-vaccine-patent-conspiracy/
Each 0.5 mL dose may contain residual amounts of egg proteins (<0.4 mcg), formaldehyde (≤10 mcg), polysorbate 80 (≤50 mcg), and CTAB (≤12 mcg). Each dose may also contain residual amounts of neomycin (≤0.02 mcg by calculation) and kanamycin (≤0.03 mcg by calculation), which are used during the initial stages of manufacture.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility AGRIFLU has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of male fertility.
Deranged w/ Swine? Buy This $5,000 Chair!
Male Fertility? OMG, Fall out of your chair here, as no other patient insert that I have read has even bothered to mention male fertility. If any reader finds one- post it it the comment section, please. The document goes on with the usual and notes that there are, “ no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, AGRIFLU should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.”
Do you see a pattern as to why AGRIFLU and numerous other vaccines have not been recommended for pregnant women? Yet, the CDC has pregnant women in the front of the line to recieve seasonal and H1N1 vaccines!

The vaccine for 2009-2010 seasonal influenza contains the following:
• an A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1)-like virus
• an A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2)-like virus
• a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus
I take exception to the use of the term LIKE VIRUS. LIKE WHAT THE F**k U TALKING ABOUT? Which one of the “like viruses” would be nice to be identified to the citizens of the U.S. on behalf of it’s govenernment, don’t ya think? Why would two year old viruses still be the most prevelent in these vaccines when since April we’ve all known H1N1 was going to do the most damage?
The FDA announced the formation of a Transparency Task Force to recommend ways to improve the openness and transparency of the agency’s information. This will help make useful and understandable information about FDA activities and decision making more readily available. http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm163900.htm. Once again the transparency of a H1N1 like virus that won’t protect you from the H1N1 virus becomes victim to the obscenity of authorizing yet another vaccine laden with toxins into the population.
What remains to peak my imagination are the increasing numbers of Hemmoragic Pneumonia, rising death rates, and why the imperfect timing of approving a seasonal flu vaccine, when there is no seasonal flu?

Yeah, well me and Guns ‘n Roses, in this ever changing world we live in, got to give you Paul McCartney- ”the other fellow hell.” Former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney made remarks to the European Parliament to raise the issue of meat production and consumption in advance of next weeks U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, rambling about Meatless Mondays and making me gag.
As if antennae aren’t already twisting to the disclosure of faked scientific data on climate change along comes another musician, now “do gooder” to save us from ourselves to suggest meat is bad for the climate. “Citing United Nations reports, the singer said 18 per cent of harmful emissions come from agriculture – significantly more than the 13 per cent attributed to transport. McCartney was joined by Rajendra Pach auri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), who said a tax on beef would “make a lot of sense”. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2009/12/2009123153511251744.html
Just what we need, a tax on beef besides the sales tax.
From Ireland, “IFA President Padraig Walshe has accused ex-Beatle Paul McCartney of leading a flawed campaign against meat that is contradictory on climate change. He said sustainable and environmentally-friendly grass based beef production from Ireland and other EU countries is being replaced on the EU market with beef from Brazil. Most of that meat is coming from areas where Amazon rainforest has been chopped down…’instead of campaigning MEPs to reduce the livestock herd in Europe, Paul McCartney should be lobbying to safeguard grass-based beef production here. This policy will halt the destruction of the rainforest.’ http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1203/environment.html
The WSJ had this to say, “Macca is the founder of an outfit called Meat-Free Mondays (http://www.supportmfm.org/), which aims to get us all to eat less meat and rescue the planet in the process….Keen to get in on this publicity stunt, sorry… I mean facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue and save life on Earth, was the non-meat-eating Edward McMillan-Scott MEP, vice president of the European Parliament. He chaired the Macca event in Brussels and had this to say: “Paul McCartney was the sole author of one of the most popular songs in history, ‘Yesterday,’ but he is here today to discuss tomorrow — your future and your children’s future. http://blogs.wsj.com/iainmartin/2009/12/03/paul-mccartney-yesterday-all-that-global-warming-seemed-so-far-away/
Personally, Sir McCartney, Live and Let Die, and get out of my universe where you think you are an expert at advising anyone on anything.
The best commentary ever comes from The Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/greenpolitics/6720526/Sir-Paul-McCartney-and-his-green-celebrity-friends-should-put-up-or-shut-up.html ”What has become evident in the run-up to Copenhagen is that every time someone comes up with some ludicrous, self-flagellating proposal, yet another chunk of the population becomes disenchanted with the whole issue. There can hardly be a farmer left in Britain who has any truck with fighting climate change after being told last week that 30 per cent of the livestock in this country needed to go.
We’re all for a balanced diet of salads, veggies, fruits, etc., but NO ONE is taking away my meat dinners. Put a carbon tax on it, put a carbon tax on my farting, tax my auto, my tobacco, my roads, my booze, my guns, my hunting license, etc, and my fat meat eating ass when I die. We are eating meat. If the White House serves Kobe beef, be it from Texas or wherever- at some astronomical cost, the least I can afford is Meatloaf Monday on a pretty regular basis.
Kobe beef is a special grade of beef from (Wagyu) cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These cattle are massaged with sake and are fed a daily diet that includes large amounts of beer. This produces meat that is extraordinarily tender, finely marbled, and full-flavored. It is also extremely expensive, often costing more than $100 per pound. via http://www.foodreference.com/html/artkobebeef.html Oh yeah, it tastes divine.
On a personal note- I too would like to be massaged with sake and fed large amounts of beer daily at our house.
OUR HOUSE Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Our house is a very very very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy, ’cause of you
I’ll light the fire
While you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Our house, we serve meat and occasionally with flowers from our garden that the dog hasn’t pissed on. It isn’t easy to eat meat. Some folks get there meat at McDonald’s. We have been known to hunt it, kill it, clean it, and store it to feed our family. There is also the generously fabulous opulence that can be found in U.S. grocery stores.
Yes, there are risks to eating food in general. E Coli and other contaminants are out there. You think someone starving in Somalia gives a rats ass about E Coli? Sadly, many will eat the rats ass.
While we eat our dinner, you can be rest assured we are not contaminating our ears with any music by McCartney, Sting, or Bono.
Just to throw the dogs a bone:

World AIDS Day is today December 1, 2oo9. It is also the day that the World Health Organization, WHO approved Glaxo’s version of the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine that can give a false positive reading for HIV.
Free HIV testing centres around Nairobi reported impressive turn-outs as Kenyans took time to check their status. With numerous AIDS cases there, if they are also the recipients of Glaxo’s vaccine we may be seeing a huge increase in patients testing false positive. And what of the rest of the world?
AS03 adjuvant composed of squalene (10.69 milligrams), DL-polysorbate 80 (4.86 milligrams) tocopherol (11.86 milligrams), The vaccine contains 5 micrograms thiomersal. 6.1 List of excipients: Polysorbate 80, Octoxynol 10, Thiomersal, Sodium chloride (NaCl), Disodium hydrogen phosphate, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate, Potassium chloride, Magnesium chloride, Water for injections, Sodium chloride, Disodium hydrogen phosphate.
In clinical studies of efficacy they tested the vaccine in ferrets where all of the ferrets died and exhibited viral shedding.
Following influenza vaccination, false-positive serology test results may be obtained by the method for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus and, especially HTLV-1. In such cases, the Western blot method is negative. These transitory false-positive results may be due to IgM production in response to the vaccine.
Via WIKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_test#cite_note-pmid7539579-16 Rare false positive results due to factors unrelated to HIV exposure are found more often with the ELISA test than with the Western Blot. False positives may be associated with medical conditions such as recent acute illnesses and allergies. A rash of false positive tests in the fall of 1991 was initially blamed on the influenza vaccines used during that flu season, but further investigation traced the cross-reactivity to several relatively non-specific test kits.[17] A false positive result does not indicate a condition of significant risk to health. When the ELISA test is combined with Western Blot, the rate of false positives is extremely low, and diagnostic accuracy is very high (see below).
HIV antibody tests are highly sensitive, meaning they react preferentially with HIV antibodies, but not all positive or inconclusive HIV ELISA tests mean the person is infected by HIV. Risk history, and clinical judgement should be included in the assessment, and a confirmation test (Western blot) should be administered. An individual with an inconclusive test should be re-tested at a later date.
In December 1991, US blood centers reported an unusual increase in donations that tested falsely reactive for antibodies to two or more (multiple false positive) of the following viruses: human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I), and hepatitis C virus. Many of these donations were from people who had recently received the 1991-1992 influenza vaccine, raising the possibility that this vaccine had somehow specifically caused the problem of multiple false reactivity. A case-control study of 101 affected donors and 191 matched controls found that recent receipt of any brand of influenza vaccine was significantly associated with testing multiple false positive (p < 0.05), as was a history of recent acute illness (p < 0.05) and of allergies (p < 0.05). Surveillance for monthly rates of multiple reactive donations from May 1990 through December 1992 linked the seasonal cluster of multiple false-positive donations to the use of viral screening test kits thought to react nonspecifically to donor immunoglobulin M. There was no similar increase in multiple false-positive donations during the 1992-1993 influenza vaccination season after the HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus tests were replaced; however, the number of donations that were falsely reactive for only HTLV-I almost doubled, indicating that false reactivity was not specifically associated with the 1991-1992 influenza vaccine. Retesting of affected donors found that the duration of HTLV-I and hepatitis C virus false reactivity was 3-6 months. The cluster of multiple false-positive donations in 1991 was most likely caused by the test kits used, rather than by the influenza vaccine. PMID: 7539579 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7539579
Basically these brilliant scientists blamed the viral scrrening kits in 1991 for the false positive results. Almost 20 years later, do you believe it the kits are still at fault?
Wake up and never roll up your sleeve. Happy World AIDS Day.
BRUSSELS — The European Union’s executive commission says it has approved single doses of two swine flu vaccines that could speed up winter vaccinations.

Translated- the vaccine contains ingredients labeled as toxic, and you might test positive for AIDS and Hepatitis! Further info on Pandemrix is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix. Pandemrix has not been approved in the U.S.A. Pandemrix date of first authorization- MAY 20,2008, well before the current H1N1 pandemic. Eye chiwawa!
The honey do list includes putting up Christmas Lights.
Ho Ho Ho, at least no swine flu germs on the lights- or could there be as they are handwrapped from China? No escape, but off to do the chores rather than post more.
Fatal cases of Hemorrhagic Pneumonia related to the H1N1 Swine Flu are spreading throughout the world. A huge number of H1N1 deaths have been counted in the last week. Martial Law has already been declared in the Ukraine. What country or state is next?
20 NOVEMBER 2009 | GENEVA
Public health significance of virus mutation detected in Norway- Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 briefing note 17 –
– The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has informed WHO of a mutation detected in three H1N1 viruses. The viruses were isolated from the first two fatal cases of pandemic influenza in the country and one patient with severe illness….Worldwide, laboratory monitoring of influenza viruses has detected a similar mutation in viruses from several other countries, with the earliest detection occurring in April. In addition to Norway, the mutation has been observed in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine, and the US….The mutations appear to occur sporadically and spontaneously. To date, no links between the small number of patients infected with the mutated virus have been found and the mutation does not appear to spread. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/briefing_20091120/en/index.html
Say what? If the mutated virus is not spreading how is it being traced to numerous countries? If the earliest detection was occurring in April, why were there no alarm bells going off? Or maybe they were, and you just couldn’t hear them.
Today, November 27, 2009 report from WHO says, “In the United States and Canada, influenza transmission remains very active and geographically widespread. In the United States, disease activity appears to have peaked in all areas of the country. In Canada, influenza activity remains similar but number of hospitalisations and deaths is increasing. http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_11_27a/en/index.html
Iowa with state control over antivirals and quarantine measures in place, is also apparently America’s top destination for Hemorrhagic Pneumonia in the U.S.
Doctors in Iowa are observing hemorrhagic lungs in flu patients, but although the state has officially recorded 21 H1N1 deaths, actual cases may be higher as patient rights, laws prohibit the disclosure of specific numbers. The county’s medical examiner said he has performed autopsies on some residents who were never diagnosed with H1N1, but actually had it. “In the autopsy, what we’re seeing is very heavy, wet hemorrhagic lungs, lungs with a lot of blood in them,” said Dr. Gregory Schmunk via http://preventdisease.com/news/09/112209_hemorrhagic_pneumonia_in_iowa.shtml
The Quarantine Social Distancing Law Project Sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and directed by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the Social Distancing Law Project was conducted in 17 jurisdictions in 2007 to assess the sufficiency of their legal preparedness to implement social distancing effectively. In addition, the participating jurisdictions assessed their legal authority to prescribe and dispense pharmaceutical drugs on a mass basis as a key potential countermeasure for an influenza pandemic http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/sdlp/
Vicks Recall
As we have been told H1N1, like the B Cepacia bacteria generally poses little medical risk but the B Cepacia bacteria can causes deadly pneumonia that is antibiotic resistant and people with this are contagious. What you need to know about B Cepacia is here http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/id_BcepaciaFS.html. More importantly it has been found in Vick’s nasal spray. “The company has discovered, after routine testing, the spray could contain the bacteria B. cepacia, which can cause serious infections in people with a weak immune system or with lung conditions.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6608952/Vicks-recalls-nasal-spray.html
Children's Tylenol Recall
Additionally Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil unit is voluntarily recalling 57 lots of infants’ and children’s liquid Tylenol products because of possible bacterial contamination with B Cepacia bacteria .http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2009945674_recall26.html Anyone give there kids Tylenol for the flu lately? Better check the lot numbers.
Throw in the “sounding the alarm about the rise of tuberculosis (TB) superbugs. Although the incidence of TB has fallen in many regions, the new findings suggest serious and growing problems with TB could on the horizon. The reason? Antibiotic resistant TB superbugs are emerging that could see virtually untreatable strains of the disease become widespread. http://dinapharm.com/store/article_info.php?articles_id=358
Last week, Recombinomics, Inc. Founder and President, Henry L. Niman on events in Ukraine, said, “The rapid rise in reported infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the past few days raise concerns that the virus is transmitting very efficiently…the spike in fatalities and the frequency in hemorrhagic cases in Ukraine have raised concerns.” His focus has been on a little something called D225G.
D225G is in the receptor binding domain and therefore at the surface of HA, and several different polymorphism were noted at that position (D225G, D225E and D225N) suggesting the changes were to escape from the immune response. Moreover the change was appearing on multiple different genetic backgrounds. This is not surprising, since position 225 is in an antigenic site and D225N was linked to the establishment of S31N in the H3N2 population. http://www.recombinomics.com/News/11270902/D225G_Evade.html
Hemorrhagic pneumonia was also observed in the 1918 pandemic and was thought to be linked to cytokine storm. Consequently, those with robust immune systems (previously health young adults) disproportionately died, which has also been seen in the current outbreak (Mexico, US, and worldwide). However, the cases in Ukraine appear to be clustered, raising concerns that the virus has changed.http://www.recombinomics.com/News/11040901/Ukraine_Hemor_Clusters.html
The world’s most populated country is China where they are on high alert for any mutation where H1N5, Bird Flu has been seen. Zhong Nanshan, director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases in China’s southern Guangdong province, said the presence of both viruses in China meant they could mix and become a monstrous hybrid — a bug packed with strong killing power that can transmit efficiently among people. “China, as you know, is different from other countries. Inside China, H5N1 has been existing for some time, so if there is really a reassortment between H1N1 and H5N1, it will be a disaster,” Zhong said in an interview with Reuters Television via http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-SwineFlu/idUSTRE5AO16220091125
Zero Hedge at http://www.zerohedge.com/article/cdc-h1n1-forced-quarantine-docs-leak wrote, “the fall H1N1 pandemic may be a convenient pretext by which dangerous levels of expanding social control can be established by elites which have proven themselves utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt.”
Meanwhile, “If vaccines strengthen the immune system (as vaccine makers imply), then why do people who take such vaccines end up at higher risk of future infections? The only rational explanation for this is that vaccines compromise immune function. And if that’s true, then why should anyone take them in the first place? asks http://dinapharm.com/store/article_info.php?articles_id=357 The answer is of course, shut up and just get your damned flu shot.
Is anyone seeing a pandemic pattern here? Doomsday is marked by some as 2012. Will the H1N1 mutations similarities to the 1918 plague take that long to wipe out a large percentage of the population?
This Thanksgiving week, General Motors has officially ceased production of it’s Pontiac brand of vehicles as a result of the bailout by the U.S. government. Not only could the car maker not meet it’s financial obligations but, the fact is that the car’s brand no longer had the appeal it once did and sales were declining.
http://www.pontiac.com/ has the official closeout information on remaining vehicles for sale with deals as low as o% financing for six years or cash back offers up to $4,500. As a wake up call to anyone buying a car, six years is an absurd amount of time to pay off a car, especially when the warranty ends before you pay it off.
With discount offers like this across most of GM’s product line up, how they are ever going to make money, get out of bankruptcy and away from government ownership is beyond any one’s guess.
Besides the 1000’s of job losses at Pontiac plants, NUMMI the joint venture between GM and Toyota venture looks to be shutting its doors as well. http://www.mercurynews.com/drive/ci_13766495 From the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment by state http://www.bls.gov/web/laumstrk.htm is listed. Like the climategate, how true these numbers are is any one’s guess.
I recall the 1978 Pontiac Bonneville that I learned to drive in. What a tank, but it had the radio antennae built into the glass which was pretty cool. In 1982 came the Firebird and was featured on the TV Show Knight Rider. I never owned one, but a lot of my buddies did and it was a girl magnet.
Pontiac Fiero
In 1984, my dad through a mid life crisis or whatever, found the Pontiac Fiero much more in the spirit of things. What a car it was and far removed from anything on the market. The damned things body was made of plastic! We’ll some sort of poly-resin- that when a grocery cart hit it it bounced off with no damage. With no USA steel to give it strength, on impact the car crumbled. Luckily, we never crashed it but traded it it on something or another. Might have been the Cadillac Sedan De Ville with the horrendous 4-6-8 valve engine- another GM disaster.
Our Fiero was hot red in color with every option known to man, including the fabulous sound system from Bose. Nothing like Van Halen screaming at you at ten decibels while driving down the highway. A definite babe magnet of a car. It made you want to live in the fast lane or at least drive in it.
Chief Pontiac, Ottawa Tribe
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Tribe must be glad to know that the spirit of the Pontiac brand of vehicles will go on- in memory at least. He was quoted as saying,
According to a French chronicler, in a second council Pontiac proclaimed:
It is important for us, my brothers, that we exterminate from our lands this nation which seeks only to destroy us. You see as well as I that we can no longer supply our needs, as we have done from our brothers, the French…. Therefore, my brothers, we must all swear their destruction and wait no longer. Nothing prevents us; they are few in numbers, and we can accomplish it. Peckham, Indian Uprising, 119–20; Dixon, Never Come to Peace, 109. via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Pontiac#cite_note-8
It didn’t turn out so good for the Indians being forced to reservations, but in the long run some tribes are probably more financially stable than the U.S. government, thanks to good fiscal policy and casino’s.
Ironically enough, the Pontiac Silverdome was sold this month for $583,000 USD to a Toronto, Canadadian businessman. Completed in 1975 as the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, at a cost of $55.7 million, the Silverdome seats 80,311. It contains 102 luxury suites and 7,384 club seats. more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Silverdome
“While still not sure what he’ll ultimately do with the stadium, adjacent fieldhouse and 127 acres of land, Apostolopoulos said he’d like to return it to being a place that hosts football, soccer, hockey and basketball as well as concerts. “People today like sports so we have to keep it for sports events,” he said. “Whatever they like, we’ll do.” But Apostolopoulos said the zoning does allow for the tearing down of the stadium and the building of houses, apartments or almost any other kind of construction.” http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/729769–toronto-developer-snaps-up-vacant-pontiac-silverdome
At less than $5000 USD an acre that was a good deal for any pilgrim.
With a rush to produce millions of H1N1 vaccines by Pharmaceutical Companies, comes the news of the first recall of the vaccine. Will it be the last?
Canadian doctors have been advised not to use a batch of 170,000 swine flu vaccines after six reports of serious allergic reactions among recipients, but there are no similar reports from other countries, pharmaceuticals company GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Tuesday. via http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/24/swine-flu-recall-h1n1-vac_n_368776.html
GlaxoSmithKline has asked that the October batch of H1N1 swine flu Pandemrix be taken out of circulation because it produced serious and immediate anaphylactic reactions in one out of 20,000 vaccinations, compared with one out of 100,000 in other shipments. Most of the vaccine Manitoba received from the suspect lot had already been used by the time the province received the alert. Of the 63,000 doses shipped, only 630 remained unused by the four regional health authorities in Manitoba that received them…Pandemrix contains parts of influenza (flu) viruses that have been inactivated (killed). Pandemrix contains a flu strain called A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) v-like strain (X-179A). Pandemrix contains small amounts of haemagglutinins (proteins from the surface) of a virus called A(H1N1)v that is causing the current pandemic. The virus has first been inactivated so that it does not cause any disease. http://www.dancewithshadows.com/pillscribe/glaxosmithkline-recalls-a-lot-of-h1n1-vaccine-pandemrix-from-canada-due-to-side-effects/

In clinical studies of efficacy they tested the vaccine in ferrets where all of the ferrets died and exhibited viral shedding. Additionally:
Following influenza vaccination, false-positive serology test results may be obtained by the ELISA method for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus and, especially HTLV-1. In such cases, the Western blot method is negative. These transitory false-positive results may be due to IgM production in response to the vaccine.
Translated- the vaccine contains ingredients labeled as toxic, and you might test positive for AIDS and Hepatitis! Further info on Pandemrix is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix. Pandemrix has not been approved in the U.S.A. Pandemrix date of first authorization- MAY 20,2008, well before the current H1N1 pandemic. Eye chiwawa!
Back up to the flu episode of 1976.
About 200 soldiers in basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey fell ill and at least four soldiers had pneumonia, and one died and the virus was identified as an H1N1 swine flu virus, “thought to be a direct descendant of the virus that caused the pandemic of 1918,” . “This conclusion was based on antibodies to H1N1 antigens found in survivors of the 1918 pandemic and the belief that the 1918 virus was eventually transmitted to pigs in the Midwest, where it persisted and caused sporadic human cases.”
Not only did the pandemic fail to appear, but the vaccine apparently harmed some people. Health officials suspended the vaccination campaign on Dec 16, 1976, after receiving numerous reports of Guillian-Barre syndrome (GBS), a paralyzing neurologic illness, after vaccination, according to an August 1979 report in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Nationwide surveillance detected 1,098 patients with GBS onset from October 1976 through January 1977. Epidemiologic evidence suggested that many cases were related to vaccination, with an estimated risk of 1 case for every 100,000 vaccinations. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/panflu/news/apr2209swine.html
In a rush to judgement and fast tracking vaccine approval for not only GlaxoSmithKline PLC, are we seeing a vision of things to come for people who take the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccines?
Japanese health ministry officials will fly to Canada by early December, to study the Canadian authorities decision to hold off on using a batch of its swine flu vaccine Pandemrix, reports said quoting a Japanese newspaper said. Japanese health ministry’s decision comes in the wake of its plan to import GlaxoSmithKline’s flu vaccine Pandemrix to cover 37 million people in the year ending March. However, there’s no change to Japan’s plan to import Glaxo’s flu vaccine Pandemrix. http://www.dancewithshadows.com/pillscribe/japanese-health-officials-to-fly-canada-no-change-in-plan-to-import-h1n1-swine-flu-vaccine-pandemrix/
Will they reconsider? Will you reconsider getting any flu shot even as governments around the world are encouraging you to do so?
Rather than the event being hosted inside, the Obama’s or some other nin-com-poop idiot chose to set up a tent in the midst of November for the first State Dinner by The Obama Administration. ”11 additional chandeliers hung from The Tent’s clear ceiling – three large ones were in the middle and four were hung on either side.” Do ya care?
On the menu is potato salad. I wonder if it is the kind with eggs and mustard? Red Potatoes or White? Sooooo not the point.
Really, how low can we go? A tent. I’d like to see the Saudi’s sit in a tent with Obama where he can bend over yet again to bow t0 the King. Serving potato salad? No Kobe beef? Too good for our allies? Oh that’s right, many people from India don’t eat cow- we’ll then throw out some lobsters, snapper, pig, or something other than potato salad for heavens sake.
Our debt is huge and India is an ally during a time when we need all the friends we can get, and this is how we treat our friends? Stick them in a tent. Are the Prime Minister, his wife and The Obama’s having a camping event later this evening? Where are they staying? Jeeesh- I’d hate to be an enemy.
Whose tax dollars are going to pay for the lawn replacement from all the mud? Ahh, The American Recovery Act- creating jobs.
Potato salad is certainly better than what our troops are eating most days even though they sleep in a tent if they are lucky, but is it okay for a dignitary?
