Don’t be too happy that the swine flu vaccines are available. There are dangers and risks in receiving the swine flu vaccine. The experts have gathered a list of what they call as the swine flu vaccine dangers. Some of these dangers are minor risks. Some people argue that the swine flu vaccine dangers are minute and can be ignored. There are people who think the advantages far outweigh the small risks in the swine flu vaccine dangers.

Before you scream at this post, do the detailed readings at the links. Don’t throw the book at the messenger. Be informed.

Swine Flu Vaccine dangers:
1) The dangers of swine flu are exaggerated and the vaccine shot may not be necessary.

2) A person with underlying medical conditions faces bigger dangers even with swine flu vaccine jab.

3) Not all flu illnesses are caused by swine flu and the vaccine is unnecessary when the illness wasn’t even due to swine flu.

4) The swine flu vaccine immunity is temporary. If you get swine flu and recover, you will get long lasting natural immunity. The dangers of the vaccine are that you are prevented from acquiring natural antibodies.

5) Some people have natural immunity against swine flu as they were exposed to various old flu strains. These folks have acquired antibodies in the immune system.

6) Children who get the swine flu vaccine will not develop natural antibodies.

7) The alerts for the swine flu pandemic are higher than in reality. Presently, the WHO has declared a phase 6 alert while the public health doctors use the EUA code. The phase 6 alert is the equivalent of the U.S. Homeland Security’s Code Red warning of an expected terrorist attack.

Swine Flu vaccines are experimental. The dangers of swine flu vaccines are not fully known.

9) States in the US exercise differing laws when dealing with quarantine and vaccination. Each state has different public health laws. You may or may not be required to receive swine flu vaccine. Read more at www.nvic.org

10) The swine flu pandemic is a disease outbreak and thus a matter that is under the jurisdiction of the Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and the CDC. Every citizen faces the risks of disobeying the law or potentially causing harm to oneself if forced to get the swine flu vaccine.

11) The drug companies make money by promoting the swine flu vaccines. There are dangers that self serving companies maybe advocating the vaccine to benefit their own pockets.

12) UK doctors suggested there might be a link between the 25 deaths in the 1970s and the immunization program that was on-going at that time. UK doctors warn about the connection between fatal nerve brain diseases and immunization. Details.

CBS News medical correspondent, US doctor Dr Jennifer Ashton, acknowledged that swine flu vaccine could cause GBS or Guillian-Barre Syndrome. The risk is very low, probably one in one million. There is a long explanation on how a vaccine can weaken the nerves. Some people don’t recover from this. Read here.

Please refer to your state laws and consult your doctor.
