Kids Under 10 May Need 2 Swine Flu Vaccine Doses

CBS News (10/14/2009):

The vaccine maker Sanofi Pasteur says tests of its swine flu vaccine suggest that children under 10 may need two doses to be fully protected.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Wednesday’s news is not surprising. This age group needs two doses of regular seasonal vaccine for full immunity to develop.

Federal officials have been hoping that one shot or squirt of nasal spray would do, so they can stretch the available supply of a vaccine much in demand.

Del. 1st-Grader’s 45-Day Suspension Lifted

The school commissars tried to give this kid 45 days punishment for bringing his own knife to school for lunch. I’m told that not too many years ago, kids routinely brought rifles to school for gun club activities or after school hunting. I guess it all makes sense when you think about how the government spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually fighting an “enemy” in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere that doesn’t exist. A truly weak and pathetic people we have become, scared of everything.

Woman Blames Tetanus, Flu Shots For Illness

Via WMTW (10/14/2009) :

Phoenix resident Melissa Ellingson says tetanus and flu shots she received this summer nearly cost her her life, KPHO-TV in Phoenix reported..

“I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t feel my whole body. It was like I had an epidural of something,” Ellingson said.

She developed encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, about a month after the two vaccines.

At one point, she was so sick she couldn’t swallow and had to have a feeding tube inserted into her throat, she said.

“All of my symptoms matched as if I would have been affected by a flu shot or a vaccine,” she said.

Dr. Geoffrey Radoff said it is possible Ellingson experienced an extremely rare side effect of the vaccines.

“What she had was extraordinarily unusual and rare,” he said. “For reasons that are unknown, we get autoimmune reactions from the vaccine.”
