Batch of H1N1 vaccine recalled for severe reactions

Joanna Smith Healthzone.ca Saturday, Nov 21st, 2009 OTTAWA – A batch of swine flu vaccine is being pulled back for investigation after it appeared to cause higher rates of severe allergic reactions than other lots. GlaxoSmithKline Inc., which is producing the Canadian order of H1N1 influenza vaccine at its plant in Ste-Foy, Que., said it asked provincial and territorial health authorities Wednesday to stop using doses from a specific lot shipment distributed late last month. “(GlaxoSmithKline) is taking this cautionary action because (the Public Health Agency of Canada) has received a higher than expected number of reports of anaphylaxis in this lot number compared to other lots,” company spokeswoman Megan Spoore said in a statement. “On an ongoing basis (GlaxoSmithKline) is working with Health Canada to ensure that each vaccine lot released to the provinces and territories consistently meets quality and safety standards.” The batch under investigation by the federal government and GlaxoSmithKline bears the lot number A80CA007A brand name Arepanrix, which is the version that contains adjuvant, a chemical additive that stretches supply and boosts immunity.

As I stated in a previous post, this damn Vaccine and this damn virus is problematic. RECALLS DEATHS SICKNESS SHORTAGES Is anyone seeing the pattern here? Look folks.  If you are on the fence between getting the injection and not, I implore you – as a LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER and DOCTOR, I suggest you give real thought to taking this vaccine. This flu, if you get it, is no worse than any other flu we have seen over the years. YES!  INFLUENZA KILLS!  Tens of thousands of people in the USA die each year from the influenza virus. This outbreak is no different than any virus we have seen in the past albeit a different structure, yes. But you are much safer going the route you have gone years past, and just rough it! There is something extremely conspiratorial about this entire thing.  From the day it was announced, to the “millions of doses by October” which never happened, down to now recalls and shortages. This antivirus injection is not much different than the BILLIONS of doses manufactured throughout the years. But when the President of the USA stands up and promises MILLIONS of doses to be available to the masses, then has to recant, only to find out that the manufacturers combined could NEVER have EVER even come close to the promised manufacturing deadlines, I get suspicious. Someone is pushing real hard to make this a Pandemic when it is not. Here is a statistic I would like to see, but know I will never see it—OF THE PEOPLE VACCINATED, HOW MANY HAVE DIED AFTER BEING VACCINATED???????
