Severe reactions to swine flu vaccine in Canada: WHO
GENEVA -- An unusual number of severe allergic reactions to swine flu
vaccinations have been recorded in Canada, where a batch of the vaccine from
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has been recalled, the WHO said on Tuesday.
"An unusual number of severe allergies to the vaccine have been detected in
Canada," World Health Organization spokesman Thomas Abraham told AFP.
"The Canadian authorities are conducting the appropriate investigations on
the vaccines" and "recalled a batch of vaccine from GSK."
"We need to understand what happened in Canada," he added.
GlaxoSmithKline spokeswoman Gwenan White told AFP that the affected doses of
its Aprepanrix vaccine had caused reactions to the heart and lungs.
Ms. White added that some 172,000 doses are involved, although she declined
to reveal how many of those had already been used.
GlaxoSmithKline has asked Canadian medical authorities to stop administering
vaccines from the affected batch, Ms. White said, adding the company's
investigations were ongoing.
WHO spokesman Thomas Abraham said that the WHO had not changed its
recommendations regarding swine flu vaccines.
Last week, the WHO said checks on many of the 30 deaths recorded following
mass pandemic flu vaccinations had so far ruled out a direct link to the
vaccines.
The fatalities made up a minute fraction of at least 65 million doses of
swine flu vaccines which have been administered, said the WHO, citing data
from 16 countries.
For every 10,000 doses of vaccines administered, only one report of adverse
effect had been logged.
Of every 100 reports of adverse effects, five are serious cases such as
death, the WHO said.
More than 6,750 people have died worldwide since the virus appeared in
April, according to WHO data.
Bullshit, you stupid socilaist types are fucked in the head. You all want
your toxic vaccines, that even down the road you have no idea what effects
will be placed on you, or what kind of health problems and yet is like
watching stupid people jump off the cliff, because everyone else did it. Do
you really beleive a billion dollar industry give a shit about the sheep who
do as there told to take their toxic death vaccines.... Man you people are
retarded. It's already been proven that big pharma has put the aids virus,
bird flu and use dead animinal tissels in the vaccines with many other toxic
waste crap..
............
Toxic Vaccines and the socilaists who still want their toxic death.
1 in 10,000 is expected. And speaking of toxins, you should read some of the
chemicals you ingest each day.
and you're an expert when it comes to vaccinations? Bad call there guy. Not
even close.
and just how many peole have died from this vaccine in British Columbia, or
have had severe effect beyond let's say a volume of 10% per doses
administered
in the past 5 weeks?

oh right yea, your continued mis interpretation of mainstread media..
Ever thought about actually completing school to Grade 11?
this is not about food you dimwit, it is about toxic vaccines, if you want
to talk about food, start a new threat.
Otherwise stop being a fucking retarded tool for big pharma and government
terrorism.

It's amzing how you socilaist down play deaths, maybe you should speak to
the familes and tell them it not a big deal you coward.

that you are fine with people dying of influenza.
