I'm confronted with this myself this year. The only flu vaccine available contains both this year's vaccine and the left over H1N1 vaccine. There is only one reason H1N1 was added to this year's vaccine, regardless of what ANY doctor on earth will tell you. It was to guarantee the exorbitant profits of the vaccine manufacturers. I already know of one case of a thal major having the vaccine this year and then getting the flu a few months later. I know of another non-thal who has a terrible reaction that lasted for days, after getting the vaccine.
I would like to hear from anyone who has had the vaccine this year. Did you have any reaction afterward and/or have you also had the flu after getting the vaccine?
Sorry, doctors, but we the patient know, that too often you side with what you are told by drug manufacturers, rather than doing any independent investigation of your own of the drugs they promote to you with all sorts of freebies. Any doctor taking as much as a pen from a drug supplier, is allowing bias into their thinking. Any doctor disagreeing, please explain the high number of drugs recalled from the market for safety reasons after you have gladly prescribed these drugs to patients. How long before Paxil and related drugs are recalled? Our other administrator can tell you about her experience with this awful drug. I can tell you that the founder of this group gave up once she was on Paxil. How many dangerous drugs are we willing to give patients just because the most incredibly biased source - the manufacturers - tell us it is safe? I would like to see far more skepticism from the medical field when it comes to drugs recommended.
