Letter Leaked Showing New Swine Flu Jab Linked to Guillain Barre Syndrome

The letter says: ´The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use.
"GBS has been identified as a condition needing enhanced surveillance when the swine flu vaccines are rolled out.
Reporting every case of GBS irrespective of vaccination or disease history is essential for conducting robust epidemiological analyses capable of identifying whether there is an increased risk of GBS in defined time periods after vaccination, or after influenza itself, compared with the background risk."
Reported by the Mail of Sunday Jo MacFarlane 15th July 2009.
To make matters worse this was the SECOND letter sent on the subject, the first sent out just days before. The second letter, dated July 27, is from the Association of British Neurologists and is written by Dr Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, chair of its surveillance unit, and Professor Patrick Chinnery, chair of its clinical research committee.- Reports Jo Macfarlane.
Yet despite these letters and this knowledge and despite the fall in the cases of Swine Flu, the testing of this vaccine began all around the world, using the public as 'Pharmaceutical Lab Rats'
A UK Daily newspaper reported that despite Dr Marie-Paule Kieny, director of WHO vaccine research initiative saying that the results from the clinical testing of the vaccine would not be expected until the end of September, Andy Burnahan and the chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson have said that the vaccine will be available this month. Ministers Plan Swine Flu Vaccination in Every School Denis Campbell and James Sturcke the Guardian 6th August 2009.
Note, this announcement was made AFTER the knowledge that these letters existed, indicting that even with a serious risk such as GBS known about the UK Government was still willing to mass vaccinate. What makes matters a million times worse is that the vaccine programme is due to target the most vulnerable first. This shows a total lack of care of the public and a degree of negligence on their part. Especially when the indication is, that there is a general decline in the numbers of Swine Flu cases being reported.
The UK have decided that children are to be the first to be vaccinated as they are said to be the highest at risk from developing serious form of the H1N1 virus along health care professionals, pregnant mothers and people with underlying health conditions even though these groups are often the most vulnerable and there is little or no data that this vaccine is safe.
Alliance for Human Research Protection .A USA site said
"Swine Flu Vaccine Trials Begin --160 million shots ordered
an aggressive campaign to vaccinate against the swine flu--EVEN BEFORE THE VACCINE'S SAFETY HAS BEEN TESTED, or the safety of the vaccine adjuvants have been tested. Although the effects of the "swine flu" have been shown to be rather mild compared to the avian flu--which killed 70% of those infected--the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic, thereby lending an air of urgency to quickly vaccinate millions of people.
Such a policy could lead to a public health catastrophe.
"Make no mistake: Vaccines containing immune-system boosters called adjuvants are not candidates for the easier strain-change approval, the FDA said. Flu vaccine with this extra ingredient is widely sold in Europe but never has been sold here, and there's little information about their safety in young children or pregnant women. While both adjuvant-free and adjuvant-added swine flu vaccine is being tested in the U.S. and abroad, using it outside of those studies would require a completely separate government decision."
In 1976 a similar world pandemic emergency was declared. As a result the USA began to vaccinate the entire USA population for H1N1 strain of the Swine Flu, however, the vaccine was found to be linked with the development of Guillain Barre Syndrome and the programme was cut short. Sadly 532 people were thought to have began the onset of GBS as a result of the H1N1 vaccination. Guillain Barre Syndrome is a nasty and debilitating disorder that can affect a person for many months or years. In some cases Gullain Barre Syndrome can be fatal.
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes
NINDS Guillain - Barre Syndrome Information Page
"Guillain-Barré syndrome is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In many instances, the weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until the muscles cannot be used at all and the patient is almost totally paralysed. In these cases, the disorder is life-threatening and is considered a medical emergency. The patient is often put on a respirator to assist with breathing. Most patients, however, recover from even the most severe cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, although some continue to have some degree of weakness. Guillain-Barré syndrome is rare. Usually Guillain-Barré occurs a few days or weeks after the patient has had symptoms of a respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection. Occasionally, surgery or vaccinations will trigger the syndrome. The disorder can develop over the course of hours or days, or it may take up to 3 to 4 weeks. No one yet knows why Guillain-Barré strikes some people and not others or what sets the disease in motion. What scientists do know is that the body's immune system begins to attack the body itself, causing what is known as an autoimmune disease. Guillain-Barré is called a syndrome rather than a disease because it is not clear that a specific disease-causing agent is involved. Reflexes such as knee jerks are usually lost. Because the signals travelling along the nerve are slower, a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test can give a doctor clues to aid the diagnosis. The cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the spinal cord and brain contains more protein than usual, so a physician may decide to perform a spinal tap."
Epidemiologic evidence indicated that many cases of GBS were related to vaccination. When compared to the unvaccinated population, the vaccinated population had a significantly elevated attack rate in every adult age group. PubMed Guillain-Barre syndrome following vaccination in the National Influenza Immunization Program, United States, 1976—1977 Despite this overwhelming evidence of previous disaster the UK are still prepared to vaccinate all the UK's 8.5 million children with a similar untested version of this vaccine for a disease that is clearly on the decline, although it is expected to rise again during the colder months.
Children could be given untested swine flu vaccine – Daily Mail Jo Mcfarlane 9th August 2009 reported that Dr Tom Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration was very concerned about the decision.
Dr Tom Jefferson, of the vaccines section of the Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that reviews research, said he feared there would be safety issues with the jab and had doubts it would work. He added: ´Governments have a duty of care, and therefore a duty to provide vaccines which are proven to be safe and effective.
During the last swine flu outbreak in the US in 1976, a vaccine caused 25 deaths – more than the virus itself. Dr Jefferson said a repeat of that ´was possible´.
Dr Mayer Eisenstein is outraged by the mass vaccination plans in USA, in particular the quote from Kathleen Sebelius stating that thimerosal, an ingredient in the pending vaccines is quite safe

About the Dangerous Swine Flu Vaccine, This is a Nightmare,
Expert Click 6th August 2009
"Study after study, scientist after scientist, has determined that there really is no safety risk with thimerosal. There is concern about parents of why autism rates are rising. And, as you know, we've got some special NIH studies, thanks to the president, focused on just what is going on.
"But thimerosal has been proven to be safe. It's used in seasonal vaccine—seasonal flu vaccine. And, again, we want to assure people that that—the scientists, again, have confirmed—that there is really a safe factor with using thimerosol. It's an effective preservative and one that we think actually adds to the likelihood that we'll have a safe vaccine for a while to come"
His rather curt comments to her are as follows:-
Dr. Eisenstein's Comments to Sebelius are as follows:
I have only one comment For HHS Secretary Sebelius
BS in BS out:
And:
1. Smoking does not cause lung cancer
2. Mercury, aluminum, squalene, etc. are perfectly safe
3. The earth is flat
4. Autism does not exist
5. Oswald did not kill Kennedy (oops maybe that is true)
Need I go on!!!!

As the world goes vaccine crazy one state in the USA has decided to allow dentists, pharmacists and paramedics to administer the H1N1 vaccine to cut costs.
State adopts emergency rules to expand pool of flu vaccine administrators - Wicked Local Wellesley Gintautas Dumcius 13th August 2009.
"Faced with budget cutbacks at the local level and the need to vaccinate 3 million Bay State residents against the H1N1 flu virus, state public health officials on Wednesday signed off on emergency rules allowing dentists, pharmacists and paramedics to administer the vaccine."
