Swine flu shot: Intense tracking for side effects By LAURAN NEERGAARD (AP) – 3 hours ago WASHINGTON — More than 3,000 people a day have a heart attack. If you're one of them the day after your swine flu shot, will you worry the vaccine was to blame and not the more likely culprit, all those burgers and fries? The government is starting an unprecedented system to track possible side effects as mass flu vaccinations begin next month. The idea is to detect any rare but real problems quickly, and explain the inevitable coincidences that are sure to cause some false alarms. "Every day, bad things happen to people. When you vaccinate a lot of people in a short period of time, some of those things are going to happen to some people by chance alone," said Dr. Daniel Salmon, a vaccine safety specialist at the Department of Health and Human Services. Health authorities hope to vaccinate well over half the population in just a few months against swine flu, which doctors call the 2009 H1N1 strain. That would be a feat. No more than 100 million Americans usually get vaccinated against regular winter flu, and never in such a short period. How many will race for the vaccine depends partly on confidence in its safety. The last mass inoculations against a different swine flu, in 1976, were marred by reports of a rare paralyzing condition, Guillain-Barre syndrome. "The recurring question is, 'How do we know it's safe?'" said Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Clinic. Enter the intense new monitoring. On top of routine vaccine tracking, there are these government-sponsored projects: _Harvard Medical School scientists are linking large insurance databases that cover up to 50 million people with vaccination registries around the country for real-time checks of whether people see a doctor in the weeks after a flu shot and why. The huge numbers make it possible to quickly compare rates of complaints among the vaccinated and unvaccinated, said the project leader, Dr. Richard Platt, Harvard's population medicine chief. _Johns Hopkins University will direct e-mails to at least 100,000 vaccine recipients to track how they're feeling, including the smaller complaints that wouldn't prompt a doctor visit. If anything seems connected, researchers can call to follow up with detailed questions. _The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is preparing take-home cards that tell vaccine recipients how to report any suspected side effects to the nation's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system. "We don't have any reason to expect any unusual problems with this vaccine," said Dr. Neal Halsey, director of Hopkins' Institute for Vaccine Safety, who is directing the e-mail surveillance. After all, the new H1N1 vaccine is a mere recipe change from the regular winter flu shot that's been used for decades in hundreds of millions of people without serious problems. Nor have there been any red flags in the few thousand people given test doses in studies to determine the right H1N1 dose. They've gotten the same sore arms and occasional headache or fever that's par for a winter flu shot. But because this H1N1 flu targets the young more than the old, this may be the year that unprecedented numbers of children and pregnant women are vaccinated. Then there's the glare of the Internet — where someone merely declaring on Facebook that he's sure the shot did harm could cause a wave of similar reports. Health authorities will have to tell quickly if there really do seem to be more cases of a particular health problem than usual. So the CDC is racing to compile a list of what's normal: 25,000 heart attacks every week; 14,000 to 19,000 miscarriages every week; 300 severe allergic reactions called anaphylaxis every week. Any spike would mean fast checking to see if the vaccine really seems to increase risk and by how much, so health officials could issue appropriate warnings. Very rare side effects by definition could come to light only after large-scale inoculations begin — making this the year scientists may finally learn if flu vaccine truly is linked to Guillain-Barre, an often reversible but sometimes fatal paralysis. It's believed to strike between 1 and 2 of every 100,000 people. It often occurs right after another infection, such as food poisoning or even influenza. But the vaccine concern stems from 1976, when 500 cases were reported among the 45 million people vaccinated against that year's swine flu. Scientists never could prove if the vaccine really caused the extra risk. The CDC maintains that if the regular winter flu vaccine is related, the risk is no more than a single case per million vaccinated. So the question becomes, Is the risk of disease greater than that? Mayo's Poland cites a study in Chicago that found the rate of preschoolers being hospitalized for the new H1N1 flu last spring was 2 1/2 times higher than that possible Guillain-Barre risk. However the flu season turns out, the extra vaccine tracking promises a lasting impact. "Part of what we hope is that it will teach us something about how to monitor the safety of all medical products quickly," said Harvard's Platt.

No, the question is, If they don't know if it's safe, why should we be their guinea pigs? ------------------------ ID Bracelets With Barcodes In Them To Track Flu Vaccinations? Vaccine checkpoint In a move that absolutely screams "big brother", the city of Boston Massachusetts has been testing out a new system that they hope will lead to the creation of a citywide registry of everyone who has had a flu vaccination. During the trial period, every "volunteer" that received a flu vaccination got an identification bracelet containing a unique barcode. The barcode contained basic information about the vaccine recipient (name, age, gender, address) and the information was entered into a patient tracking database via handheld devices similar to those used by delivery truck drivers. Further information collected during this trial program included the identity of the person that administered the vaccine, whether it was injected into the right arm or the left arm, and the time and date the vaccine was administered. One of the goals of health officials in Boston is to create a "vaccination map" that will enable them to pinpoint address by address who was received a vaccination and who has not. Talk about chilling. Will technology such as this be rolled out nationwide if the swine flu gets really bad this fall? How would you feel if authorities could instantly pull up the vaccination status of everyone in your neighborhood? And why all of this hysteria? After all, so far the swine flu has not been any more threatening than an average seasonal flu. At least that is what Dr. Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University is saying. According to Dr. Lipstich, the swine flu death rate is very similar to the death rate of the seasonal flu during an average year. So why are the authorities treating this flu with such hysteria? Do they know something that we don't? One example of how incredibly bizarre things have gotten is a story that we recently found out of Canada. Some Indian tribes in north Manitoba had requested some supplies to help battle the swine flu, but what Health Canada sent them was not what they were expecting. Do you know what Health Canada sent them? Body bags. Seriously. The Edmonton Sun reported that David Harper, who is one of the Indian leaders up there, is openly wondering if Health Canada knows something about the flu outbreak that they aren't telling them..... "Don't send us body bags, help us organize, send us medicine." This reminds us of the old bond movie where James Bond asks the villain if he expects him to talk, and the villain responds something like this..... "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." This would actually be funny if all of this was not so real. Does Health Canada expect the Indians to die? A lot of bizarre things are going on around the U.S. and Canada right now, and the only explanation is that the authorities are expecting something really BIG to happen. But why? The swine flu so far has been trivial. What is really going on? If you have any useful tips or intel about what is going on in your community, please leave a comment and tell us what is happening. Perhaps if we all work together we can start to put the pieces of this puzzle together. 1 comment to ID Bracelets With Barcodes In Them To Track Flu Vaccinations? * jacqueline manzano my personal opinion: The rfid chip is inside the vaccine itself( the shot ), the bracelet is the diversion to trick you into belief that the chip is without you not within you. It is out right genocide….their agenda! They have been tricking us all our lives, this vaccine is the ultimate take-over of humanity…PERIOD! thebirdflupandemic.com/ar...to-track-flu-vaccinations I tend to agree.
No more threatening? It's been ninety percent LESS THREATENING than the seasonal flu. Just ask Dr.Gutka and his cameraman.
Somewhere I read they put swine flu in the regular flu shot. My daughter told me she got an email from a friend who had just gotten the regular flu shot for her baby daughter. She said she screamed like she never screamed before. I almost cried when she told me that. I shudder to think of what was in it.

Not that we're the smartest in the world here, but are people not aware of all the adverse reactions, and deaths, that come from these deadly vaccines? Do they trust their doctors and .gov propaganda more than they trust all the coroners' reports? How to get the word out???
