A new study has found that people who received a flu shot before the outbreak of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic were more likely to catch the swine flu virus, a startling discovery given the fact that experts have blamed the pharmaceutical industry for deliberately engineering the pandemic to make huge profits from vaccines.
“Researchers, led by Vancouver’s Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the early weeks of the pandemic that people who got a flu shot for the 2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people who hadn’t received a flu shot,” reports the Vancouver Sun.
Despite the claim that the link was only related to Canadians who had received the flu shot, Dr. Skowronski was able to re-create the results in ferrets. Giving half the ferrets the 2008 seasonal flu shot and the rest a placebo injection, eventually all the ferrets were infected with the pandemic H1N1 virus.
Despite the results of the experiment, Skowronsk still bizarrely encouraged people to get the flu shot. According to the CDC, the 2009 H1N1 outbreak killed as many as 400,000 people – although others dispute this figure.
Confirmation that the seasonal flu vaccine could very well have been the cause of the H1N1 outbreak or at least helped it spread validates the testimony of experts like former Chair of the Council of Europe’s Sub-committee on Health Wolfgang Wodarg, who in February 2010 told the Alex Jones Show that the pandemic was manufactured by pharmaceutical companies in league with the World Health Organization to make vast profits while endangering public health.
Initial reports that the swine flu bug was a never-before-seen intercontinental mixture of human, avian and pig viruses from America, Europe and Asia prompted theories that the virus could have been synthetically manufactured in a lab.
Wodarg said that governments were “threatened” by special interest groups within the pharmaceutical industry as well as the WHO to buy the vaccines and inject their populations without any reasonable scientific reason for doing so, and yet in countries like Germany and France only around 6 per cent took the vaccine despite enough being available to cover 90 per cent of the population.
Wodarg said there was “no other explanation” for what happened than the fact that the WHO worked in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture the panic in order to generate vast profits, agreeing with host Alex Jones that the entire farce was a hoax.
He also explained how health authorities were “already waiting for something to happen” before the pandemic started and then exploited the virus for their own purposes.
Professor Ulrich Keil, director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Centre for Epidemiology, also slammed the swine flu epidemic as an overblown “angst campaign”, devised in conjunction with major drug companies to boost profits for vaccine manufacturers.
Swine flu vaccines have also been linked with outbreaks of narcolepsy, as well as other disorders includingGuillain-Barré Syndrome as well as dystonia, a paralyzing neurological disorder.

A strange vaccine-related phenomenon spotted in Canada at the start of the 2009 flu pandemic may well have been real, a new study suggests.
Researchers, led by Vancouver's Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the early weeks of the pandemic that people who got a flu shot for the 2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people who hadn't received a flu shot.
Five studies done in several provinces showed the same unsettling results. But initially research outside Canada did not, and the effect was dismissed as a "Canadian problem," a problem with the flu vaccine used in Canada.
But a new study suggests the findings were real.
Skowronski and a group of researchers have recreated the event in ferrets. Their findings were presented Sun-day at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a major international infectious diseases conference taking place in San Francisco.
Skowronski, who outlined the work at a webcast press conference, worked with 32 ferrets, giving half the 2008 seasonal flu shot and the rest a placebo injection. The work was blinded, meaning the researchers didn't know which ferrets received which shot. Later, all the ferrets were infected with the pandemic H1N1 virus.
The ferrets in the vaccine group became significantly sicker than the other animals, though all recovered.
"The findings are consistent with the increased risk that we saw in the human studies," Skowronski said.
The reason is unclear and Skowronski urged other research groups to take up the question. She said it's important to get to the root before the next pandemic. But in the meantime, Skow-ronski insisted the findings should not deter people from getting flu shots.

"There are risks versus benefits considerations and decisions all the time in our lives every day. Do you drive a car? There's approximately one traffic death for every million miles driven in the USA, similar to the risk to GBS occurring post vaccination. Admittedly, the benefit of the flu vaccine is variable from year to year as the flu type(s) selected for the vaccine each year has always been predictive. It's an educated guess that involves complex historical epidemiological statistical analysis of flu type trends throughout the world."
This like the "atomic bombs save lives" argument.
""There is terror in numbers," writes Darrell Huff in How to Lie with Statistics."
If "There is terror in numbers" is all you've came away with from Huff's "How to Lie with Statistics"? book - I'm sure you didn't read the book. What I've posted is not about just "numbers", it's about the powerful tool of probabilities analysis. Read one of Huff's other books: "How to Take a Chance: The Laws of Probability"
I am not distorting or misrepresenting any numbers as I've quoted nothing but well documented large scale incidence statistics about GBS and traffic deaths from public sources.
I invite you to fully realize the strength applying probability in the critical analysis of risk and decision making. Rational decision making can often be supported by probabilities analysis. It can successfully negate the detrimental influences of biased agendas, logical fallacies, unsupported blind beliefs, preconceived conclusions, purposeful dissemination of misinformation, old wives' tales, post-modernist paradigms, blatant implausibilities, urban legends, superstitions and cultural memes. Continuing to focus on a very small number, or just a single incidence in this case, of vaccination related side effects in relation to the vast numbers of uneventful vaccination administrations reflects fallacious reasoning. Fallacious reasoning can hide verifiable truths, and failing to think critically makes us highly vulnerable to manipulation by those in the media who are highly skilled in the art of deceptive rhetoric like Mike Adams and Joe Mercola.

The strength of probability. Takes one to know one. If what you say is true.
More Probability.
#1 If one injects foreign matter directly into the human body, bypassing the immune systems metabolic orfices, chances are the system will malfunction and attack itself, creating short or long term problems. That is only logical.
#2 Toxins that accumulate in the body, most likely damage the system, especially when they have been injected into the body, bypassing the metabolism.
#3 The vaccine corporations(Who's botton line is making money) that work to undermine the system, are immune from prosecution and have a revolving door with government agencies (like the CDC &FDA), Probably aren't concerned about whether people get sick from their product. And in all probability are more concerned about covering up such incidences.
#4 The probabilities go on and on....Rich eugenisists probably want to lower human population by any means necessary...Highly probable.
The 2009 human "swine flu" vaccine given to millions of Canadians was associated with twice the normal risk of developing Guillain-Barre syndrome — a rare but potentially paralyzing nerve disorder, Quebec researchers are reporting.
With Guillain-Barre syndrome, or GBS, the immune system attacks the body's peripheral nerves, causing rapidly progressing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.
In a new study led by Quebec City's Laval University, researchers looked at all suspected and confirmed cases of GBS as reported by doctors — mostly neurologists — and hospital discharge records starting in the fall of 2009, when more than half of Quebec's population was vaccinated against H1N1 as part of mass immunization campaigns that rolled out nationwide. Quebec's chief medical officer of health ordered the investigation.
By the end of the year, 4.4 million Quebec residents had received the pandemic vaccine.
Over a six-month followup period between October 2009 and March 2010, 83 confirmed GBS cases were identified; 42 occurred in people who had been recently immunized.
Twenty-five developed symptoms within eight weeks of vaccination; of those, most — 19 — developed the syndrome within four weeks.
Overall, the Laval group calculates that the number of cases that can be attributed to the human swine flu shot was approximately two per one million doses.
The risk of contracting GBS from a normal seasonal flu shot has been estimated at about half that — an additional one case per million people vaccinated.
Despite the small but statistically significant increased risk — which was seen only in people aged 50 or older (GBS is more common in older adults) — the researchers believe the benefits of immunization likely outweigh the risks.
In Quebec, the risk of being hospitalized with H1N1 infection was one per 2,500; the risk of death was one per 73,000.
"The H1N1 vaccine was very effective in preventing infections and complications," the team writes in this week's edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The risk (of GBS) is of low magnitude — and it's probably much lower than the benefit of vaccination in case of a pandemic," said lead author Dr. Philippe De Wals, a professor in the department of social and preventive medicine at Laval. Most people recover from GBS, he added.
In 1976, when swine flu was found in soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J., the U.S. government launched a mass vaccination of more than 40 million people against a pandemic that never happened. The shots were halted after 10 weeks, after an unusually higher cluster of GBS was discovered during active surveillance for reactions to the shots.
According to World Health Organization experts, for no clear biological explanation, the shots increased the risk of GBS in adults within the first six weeks following vaccination.
As Canada embarked on the largest vaccination program in the nation's history, doctors and health officials were urged to check for GBS and other potential adverse events.
In a related paper, a nationwide study in Denmark involving more than 53,000 infants — nearly 7,000 of whom were exposed to H1N1 vaccine in the womb — found no significant increased risk of major birth defects, preterm birth or fetal growth restriction in babies born to women who were vaccinated against H1N1 during pregnancy.
"Pregnant women were among the main target groups prioritized for vaccination (against the pandemic strain), and an estimated 2.4 million women were vaccinated during pregnancy in the United States alone," the team, from the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, writes.
In Canada, public health officials recommended pregnant women be among the first to be vaccinated when the H1N1 vaccine became available. But the rapid development of the vaccine, as well as the push to get it out ahead of a second wave of infection, raised concerns about safety, particularly among expectant mothers.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Noni MacDonald, of Dalhousie University, and co-author Mark Steinhoff of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, said that the studies, taken together, should help somewhat alleviate concerns about the safety of pandemic flu shots in pregnancy.
However, they definitely kill. Is this the type of probabiltiy You speak of? Because vaccines definitely contain toxins.
