Is The Media Downplaying The Risks Of The H1N1 Vaccine?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

The Swine Flu continues to have an impact all across the world.  Trak News has reported that in western Nepal schools have been closed for the third day in a row as officials attempt to limit the spread of the virus.

And while some individuals insist that getting the H1N1 vaccine is the best bet against fighting the virus, Christopher Hitchens declares that any vaccine should not be pushed on anyone, as we all should be making informed decisions ourselves.  Many are finding success with alternatives means of enhancing their immune system.

Sadly, the virus continues to take young lives.  Fox 40 is reporting that in Vacaville California, a first grader just died from Swine Flu complications. 

An interesting fact recently published by the CDC is that 90% of H1N1 fatalities are under 65 years old.  And while the CDC offers some reliable information, MSNBC states that the CDC downplays the risks of the H1N1 vaccine, so you should do the research yourself and make an informed decision for yourself and those in your care.

H1N1: A Radical Prevention?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

MSNBC is reporting that one third of parents are stating they will not be giving their children the Swine Flu vaccine.  Additionally, BMJ is reporting that opposition to the vaccine is growing worldwide.

While news of the virus and the virus itself continues to spread, people are becoming more informed about the illness and possible risks from the vaccine.

Free Press Release published an article that includes the benefits of natural remedies for the Swine Flu virus.  The article reports that Madison Cavanaugh claims that germs themselves do not cause the virus, but the host site has to meet certain conditions in order for the germs or bacteria to grow and thrive.  Cavanaugh believes that simple oxygen therapy is enough to discourage the H1N1 virus from taking up residence in the average human.

This is incredibly encouraging news as the CDC confirmed the number of hospitalizations from August 30 to October 10 of this year were 4,958.  The highest age group included in this number was 24% of 25-49 year old adults.

If something as simple as oxygen can make us all resistant to the Swine Flu virus, it would well be worth it in order to avoid illness and side effects from an unproven vaccine.

What Bill Maher Said About The Swine Flu Vaccine

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

If you haven’t seen it yet, Bill Maher recently did an interview on his HBO show Real Time With Bill Maher where he discussed the vaccine with Dr. Bill Frist.

Maher is so adamant that anyone who gets the vaccine is an “idiot” that he posted comments on Twitter.  Maher questions the necessity of the vaccine and the government who is endorsing it.

Bungalow Bill’s Conservative Wisdom blog claims that all you need to fight the Swine Flu is vitamin D.  Many are of the opinion that the Swine Flu does not necessitate a vaccine or much in the way of proactively fighting it off.  Others who are more in the middle believe that most do not want to contract the virus, but in order to prevent illness, you must be in optimal health and do so proactively with natural methods.

The CDC just released a report stating that nearly half of the patients hospitalized from the Swine Flu had no underlying conditions.  This may alarm many, as we’ve mostly heard reports of severe cases of the H1N1 virus in those who had underlying health problems.  For others, it will continue to propel them to pursue healthier alternatives than vaccines.
