A Flu Vaccine Timeline: The Recent History Revolving Around Vaccine Dangers

Last year Australia noticed a lot of children being hospitalized after having convulsions triggered by the flu shot. Australian health authorities knew of these cases but continued to push the flu shot on every child. Irresponsibly, the health authorities allowed for more and more convulsions along with vomiting and dangerously high fevers. Finally, after having known of the convulsions and other health problem revolving around the flu vaccine, Commonwealth chief health officer Professor Jim Bishop took action and instituted a ban on the flu shot.

A Confirmed Link Between the Flu Vaccine and Killer Nerve Disease

In 2009 a staggering 50 percent of doctors refused the H1N1 flu vaccine due to the strong connection with adverse health concerns. Even though 50 percent of the doctors were not receiving the shot, many of them would still recommend the shot to their patients.


In 2010, government health chiefs confirmed a link between the H1N1-containing seasonal flu vaccination and the killer nerve disease known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome. But this information didn’t stop health officials from pushing the vaccine onto the population in 2010 and 2011. What’s more, the connection between Guillain-Barre Snydrome and flu vaccines has been alive since the 1970s.

'The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use,' Prof. Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPA’s immunization department, wrote in the letter sent last month to neurologists.

Shortly after government health officials openly admitted the link between the H1N1 vaccine and deadly Guillain-Barre Syndrome, it was found that

. The World Health Organization (WHO) 

 of 2010 that 12 countries had been reporting on a suspected relationship between the development of narcolepsy and the H1N1 vaccine. The H1N1 vaccine is currently embedded into the traditional seasonal flu shot, which the WHO continues to recommend despite a number of organizations and health experts speaking out against its safety.

Despite these findings, though, the flu shot continues to be

. As each year passes, the flu shot is being pushed harder than the year before. In 2010, 130.9 million people got the flu shot, an 8 million person increase from 2009. People are being urged by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to get the flu shot every year. The CDC also urges parents to give their child the flu shot every year from the moment they turn 6 months of age.

The link between Guillain-Barre Syndrome and the flu vaccine has been confirmed by studies, anecdotal evidence, and

Here are some of the conditions associated with the H1N1 vaccine, according to the insert:

• Facial edema.
• Immune system disorders

• Respiratory disorders
• Chest pain
• Cough
• Urticaria
• Rash (including non-specific, maculopapular, and vesiculobulbous) 

New research 

 shows some startling news regarding the true effectiveness of the flu vaccination. The study involved a control group of 13,095 adults who were not vaccinated. The group were watched to see if they caught the influenza virus, but 97 percent of them did not. Only 2.7 percent, or 357 people, of the non-vaccinated group ended up catching the virus. Another group of adults whom were vaccinated with a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine ended up with 1.2 percent of them not catching the flu. The difference between the two outcomes is 1.5 people out of 100 which shows that
