Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
You always make these statements without backing them up with any reputable sources. This is not the first time you've done this, either. I come to SciTech to have interesting discussions about actual science and technology, and you are always bringing in whacked-out conspiracy theories you can't provide a shred of proof for. Your threads about impractical scientific fantasies, like the pyramid thing, I don't really mind so much. At least there is some scientific content there, marginal as it is. But if you're going to come in here and claim vaccines are part of a conspiracy to kill people or make them stupid, you'd best bring some proof or you're just going to get called out and ridiculed for it.

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
I'm entitled to such an opinion and if you don't like it, rather than cry about it, ignore it instead. LINK LINK Other additives in vaccines such as formaldehyde, 2-phenoxyethanol (not too far distant from antifreeze) and aluminum salts are also unlikely to be good for the human body. Those are just the chemicals we know about. What else is thrown in there is the ultimate question. Imagine vaccines with the toxins we know about being injected into children or pregnant women and the damage done would be irreversible. Neurological damage done to the baby whilst it's still in the womb. Last edited by All Seeing Eye; August 16 2009 at 06:04 PM. |

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
You do realize the Thimerosal-autism link proved to be bullshit, right? And you just relinked the OP's article...
Saying a chemical is "not too distant" from some other toxic chemical is very deceptive. Carbon dioxide is a natural waste product of respiration, and is not typically dangerous to humans. Carbon monoxide differs by a single atom, and yet it is potently lethal to humans. How similar one chemical is to others is irrelevant--their effect on humans varies widely.

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
Yes I know I linked to the OPs link because it's a very valid link and valid proof so I re-linked to it to emphasize it. In regards to any compound that has ethanol contained within it then you're damn right it's toxic to Humans. Since when has any form of ethanol been good for humans? (Alcohol isn't even safe really). It doesn't matter about the odd atom here or there the fact is it's still ethanol and beyond alcohol it becomes more and more toxic. Pump all this into a child or a baby in a womb and do you really think it wont cause neurological damage? The link I provided you about Mercury shows Mercury immediately destroys brain neurons on contact. Fresh Link. |

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
There are plenty of things that are good(or at least benign) for you in small amounts that will kill you in large.

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
Oh, wait. You need those to live. Crap! Like I said, what you post here isn't science. Not in any way, shape, or form. It's fear, paranoia, and misinformation.

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
"Interpretation. We identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers." Note 'possible environmental triggers'. The original paper said that there might be a causal link between autism and the MMR vaccine, not that there was one for certain. In 2004, ten of the thirteen scientists who carried out the original study made a formal retraction. "We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient. However, the possibility of such a link was raised and consequent events have had major implications for public health. In view of this, we consider now is the appropriate time that we should together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper, according to precedent." This year the Sunday Times discovered that Andrew Wakefield, the doctor who ran the study, had received more than four hundred thousand pounds from lawyers trying to prove that vaccines are unsafe. A legal aid fund, attempting a lawsuit against pharmaceutical manufacturers, paid nearly three and a half million pounds in an attempt to find suitable evidence. Furthermore, the British General Medicine Council has begun an investigation into Wakefield. There are two grounds. The first, based on claims by journalist Brian Deer, are of serious professional misconduct, involving totally unnecessary surgical procedures that in one case caused life threatening injuries. In addition, evidence has arose indicating that during the study Wakefield suppressed and falsified data to better support the results he wanted. So it's not really a case of "choosing the words of one bunch of scientists over another bunch". It's a case of deciding who is more reliable. On the one hand you have the vast majority of scientists. Yes, many work for 'big pharm' and could conceivably be covering themselves. But many others are independent and have no such motivation. Included in their ranks are ten of the original group, who have removed their support after the many flaws and conflicts of interest came to light. In the other group, you have a tiny minority, the greatest of which is known to be on the take, and suspected of unethical proceedings and scientific fraud. |

Re: Problems with the "Swine flu vaccine"
"The 'dubious' part is very important. It doesn't mean anything, but it scares people!" -Londo, Babylon 5 You're right to an extent, though----no agency should be trusted to do its job simply because that *is* it's job. Agencies should be trusted to do what's best for the agency. Which means that the check on both the megas *and* the FDA is the press----bad PR is bad for everyone except the press, who see it as a field day. So if there's something wrong going on, please provide a link to something the press has said about it, which contains more substance than the vague concerns voiced in the original article (which is more about past events than future).
