« Winners of the Age of Autism Contest: Glow Gluten Free Cookies! | Main | On Media: Is LA Times' Thomas Maugh Offended By Vaccine Safety Advocacy? »
With no vaccine available for H1N1 flu, Australia recently ended its 2009 "Flu Season" (their Winter in our Summer), with 186 flu-associated fatalities of 36,991 Aussies confirmed having H1N1.
The Australia 2009 stats for regular 'seasonal flu' are not final yet, but their Health Dept literature cites annual flu-associated mortality historically has been between 2,500 and 3,000 in spite of universal vaccination programs for regular flu long being established. A logical review of these results strongly suggests next year Australia should initiate a "flu vaccination holiday," promote vitamin D supplements, long known to be effective for preventing Wintertime flu disease, and then compare the outcomes.
Pertinently, experts have also stated that H1N1 was probably already in Australia for their 2008 flu season, but not tested for (which is the nature of the testing world; a great percentage of "flu" cases being presumptive, never tested). In light of Australia clearly showing the pussycat nature of H1N1, can somebody explain why America's media willfully ignores the news from Australia? However, despite the derelict media, I would think U.S. Health Generals would certainly be up on Flu news from Down Under, and certainly from Canada right next door.
Canadian front page news on flu vaccinations has transfixed Canada health authorities, prompting official suspension of regular flu vaccination programs until further notice. This comes from a sweeping study of Canada by research Doctors Danuta Skowronski of the British Columbia Centre of Disease Control and Gaston De Serres of Laval University in Quebec concluding Canadians receiving flu vaccinations have twice the risk of coming down with the flu, compared to those who do not take the shot.

Various people in every country take the personal loans in different creditors, because that is simple.

Inject a live flu virus suspended in a mercurary solution into my body? Have you lost your mind?

Dear David and Friends,
There's something more sinister than adding mercury, squalene, formaldehyde, or other toxic substances to the vaccine mix. How about human DNA?

Swine flu vaccine is most definately available in Australia,each time I go to the doctors(once a week) they persist in giving me a leaflet urging me to get injected, even after I made it very very clear what I thought the vaccine was,and what they could do with it.Cheers John Leigh.

yes, the hep b shots will be a tough sell up here (Canada). They are introducing it now in B.C.(infantarix?) but it doesn't pass the common sense test. For me, the addition of chicken pox vaccine completely tipped me to not believing "them."
I wonder how the Canadian public will fare with being given the adjuvanted shot for h1n1 now. I can't believe we went for that. Really disappointing. I don't wish ill on anyone but I hope surveillance of any problems is fair and swift. By all accounts the line ups at the malls for the adjuvanted h1n1 seems very high so far. A few child deaths have no doubt motivated this.

In regard to Jack's comment on the Australian newspapers, there was a small article on P.14 of "The Daily Telegraph" on October 27, 2009. see www.dailytelegraph.com.au. "Swine flu's impact on hospitals is starting to emerge with pateient data showing that 'acute respiratory illness' cases almost doubled over winter. People in need of hospital treatment for flu-like illness in the three months to August jumped to 2378 cases across 35 hospitals in northern NSW this year. The figure was up from 1267 cases last year and 1736 cases in 2007, across the Hunter New England Area Health Service. Cases peaked in July this year, a month earlier than they did in last year's mild ordinary flu season." Anyway, if it was a major increase, etc, then it would be on the front page (unless, of course, it coincided with Melbourne Cup Day :) ).

jen, Thanks for your comment and that you decided against Hep B vaccination for your son.
The three (3) Hep B shots starting on the day of birth to American babies should be nominated, and win, the Josef Mengele Medical Experiment Prize every year.
It is so awful and so dangerous; an outrageous onslaught by the medical society in the U.S. that has allowed this to happen.
The Hep B vaccination series, by itself, shows the dogmatic attitude of a medical system gone mad.

Excellent article David!
The Canadian data seems to indicate that inviting LIVE H1N1 VIRUS into your nose increases your chance of getting H1N1 FLU?
I suppose that could be filed under Duh. Thankfully, the Canadians tested for H1N1 so they have data that says 1 + 1 = 2.
However, tTe USA is not testing for H1N1, so the causation issue here will be clouded.

Even Dr. Oz won't give the vaccine to his kids. Check out the 5:03 mark.
