First narcolepsy cases receive compensation in Sweden(Swine Flu Vaccine),whilst USA still pushes it

It is difficult for me to say if 50,000 kronor is a lot or too little. We have nothing to compare it to, “ said Herman Afzelius, father of 10-year-old Arvid, who suffers from the disease after getting the swine flu shot, to daily Dagens Nyheter (DN). http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/drabbade-av-narkolepsi-far-50-000-kronor (Swedish)

In total, 118 children and youngsters have reported being struck by the disease after the vaccination drive in 2009 and 2010. Twelve families have so far been told they will receive compensation, according to DN. According to Anders Öhlen, the CEO of insurance company Läkemedelsförsäkringen, the amount is in line with other severe illnesses, such as deafness or paralysis.

The families will also be reimbursed the costs for treatment, medications and journeys to and from hospital. However, it will be several years before the children and their families will know whether they will receive any additional compensation. When the children turn 18, a new medical assessment will decide if they are eligible for any other financial recompense.

“If that will be the case, we will pay out a one off payment, which will vary from case to case. We’ll also reimburse any potential loss of earnings,” said Öhlén to DN. The insurance company has earmarked 150 million kronor for the children suffering from narcolepsy as a consequence of the vaccinations.

Artificial scarcity and the anatomy of the 2009 swine flu pandemic (CFR related video)

This video exposes how the corporate health industry met at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and expressed concern that Americans are refusing the unpopular H1N1 swine flu vaccines. This video also documents the strong case that the media is hyping an artificial scarcity of the vaccine to trick concerned parents into lining up like cattle for the flu shot.

The NEW 2011-2012 USA flu vaccine still has the H1N1 Swine flu added to it, even though it is not just banned in many nations worldwide , but confirmed to cause diseases AND is already forcing settlement payments (the ultimate proof of guilt in a capitalist system). The US CDC is also specifically tageting children under 5, and pregnant women, the VERY groups most prone to adverse effects.

1. The vaccine used in Sweden and that of the US were different...

None of these narcolepsy cases have been reported from the US nor from those who received a US-manufactured vaccine.

You need to actually do the research before drawing these conclusions.

[msanthrope]

3. Don't bring facts and science into the anti-vax threads.....nt

[Pithlet]

2. The link is actually to the flu itself. The flu can cause narcolepsy

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21128275.000-swine-flu-not-vaccine-may-trigger-narcolepsy.html There is a genetic predisposition in some people that the flue can trigger.

There were additives in the vaccine available in Finland that be causing the trigger in those who are genetically predisposed. But those additives aren't in the vaccines available in other countries http://healthland.time.com/2011/08/23/the-curious-link-between-h1n1-flu-and-narcolepsy/ Those who are genetically predisposed would be better off getting vaccinated to prevent narcolepsy.

4. then why did the US HHS department spend 415 million dollars on adjuvants for H1N1 vaccines?

http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2009pres/07/20090713b.html

To throw them away? Either way there is a vast disconnect somewhere.

[Pithlet]

5. Yes. They spet 415 million dollars on adjuvants for H1N1 vaccines so they would work.

But the adjuvants that were causing the reaction in Finland weren't in the vaccines in the US. It's not that complicated.

[stockholmer]

6. but the CDC specifically says NO ADJUVANTS whatsoever are in the flu vaccines

:shrug:

[Pithlet]

7. Look, whatever. They aren't the same vaccines.

Read the links I provided. There are more out there. The adjuvants that may have caused the reaction in the Finnish study aren't in the US vaccines.
