流感疫苗為癱瘓被指責
Flu shot blamed for paralysis
京士頓女子在修補中，希望能再次走路
Kingston woman on mend, hoping to walk again
By Michele Mandel

(TORONTO SUN) Just before Christmas, Stephanie Willette went from being a healthy nursing student to suddenly being a helpless patient paralyzed from the neck down with a tracheotomy so she could breathe. Today the 20-year-old is slowly recovering in a Kingston rehab hospital, still unable to sit up, but hoping that she’ll eventually walk again. The Lindsay woman is yet another person stricken with Guillain Barre Syndrome, yet another whose family blames her H1N1 flu shot for triggering the rare neurological condition. “They can’t prove it, but they can’t disprove it. She was perfectly fine until two weeks after her shot,” says her angry mom Karen. “I think there’s a lot more cases out there than the government’s letting on. It’s a big secret.” According to the ministry of health, they are investigating just four reported cases of GBS in Ontario following the province’s mass inoculation of five million people. But we’ve already told the harrowing stories of two patients who blame their debilitating onset of GBS on the swine flu shot — which they received within days of each other at the same Markham doctors’ clinic. Since then, four more GBS victims have come forward to the Sunday Sun. With the addition of a Hamilton case reported last November, that’s seven Ontario cases by our count alone. So exactly how many have really been devastated by this highly touted vaccine? And why is Quebec the only province that has a no-fault compensation program for the unlucky few who suffer such a crippling side effect? GBS can cause mild muscle weakness or severe paralysis and is diagnosed in about 600 Canadians every year after a bout with food-borne bacteria, viral infection or surgery. Far more rarely, it can develop up to six weeks after a flu shot. It’s there in the waiver’s fine print: The risk of getting GBS after any flu vaccine is about one for every million doses. While increased cases of GBS were found after the 1976 swine flu vaccine, there’s been no similar upsurge reported with this season’s shot. But how many cases are not being properly reported? As of Jan. 23, the Public Health Agency of Canada was tracking 24 cases following vaccination, or .95 per million as expected. “Concerns about GBS have not emerged in connection with H1N1 vaccines,” the agency says. That’s hardly comforting to another mother who almost lost her son last month. “These numbers mean absolutely nothing when your child is lying in intensive care fighting for his life,” says Cathy, whose son asked that their last name not be used. “Then the odds are more like one in one.” Her son Michael was a strapping, fit 26-year-old hospital worker who began complaining of tingling in his feet four weeks after his H1N1 shot. On Dec. 5, as he was losing feeling in his legs, his mom rushed him to St. Joseph’s hospital. A spinal tap confirmed GBS. And then he deteriorated so quickly that he spent four days in intensive care, completely paralyzed. “It was brutal,” Michael recalls, back at his Etobicoke home. “You’re trapped inside your brain. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even swallow my own spit. It was hell and there was a time I just wanted to die.” He’s one of the lucky ones. His recovery has been almost as stunningly quick as his descent into paralysis. After a month in hospital and two weeks at West Park rehab, he’s weak, but walking again. “It feels like a bad dream,” he says. But not for his mother. She wrote a scathing letter to several health officials, including Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada’s chief medical officer of health who has spent months urging everyone to get their H1N1 shot. “I look forward to your replies as to how you can compensate Michael for his pain and suffering since all health officials promise over and over again that the H1N1 vaccine is safe,” she wrote. “What will you do for unlucky people such as Michael?” A month later, and no one has even had the decency to reply.

A Shreveport girl is battling a rare disease
By Chrissi Coile, KTBS 3 Health Reporter

In December 5 year old Hannah Pham started complaining her leg was numb. When her parents took her to the hospital doctors diagnosed her with Tranverse Myelitis. It's a disease doctors say infects about 1 in a million people. Experts say the disease is a neurological disorder which typically follows a virus. Hannah got an swine flu shot in early December. The Pham family is worried that's what caused the illness, but the CDC hasn't reported any cases of Tranverse Myelitis following swine flu shots. Hannah has been hospitalized for five weeks, meanwhile her family is praying for her recovery.
在12月，5歲大的漢娜範開始抱怨她的腿麻痺，當她的父母帶她到醫院，醫生診斷她患有Tranverse脊髓炎，這是一種感染疾病，醫生說約 每一百萬人有一人；專家說這是一種神經紊亂疾病，典型地在病毒之後。漢娜在12月初注射豬流感疫苗，範家擔心就是疫苗引起這疾病。但美國疾病預防控制中心未有報告，在豬流感疫苗注射後有任何Tranverse脊髓炎個案。漢娜已住院5週，同時她的家庭正為她的康復祈禱。

Tranverse Myelitis is simuliar to ADEM Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. In 2006 my nephew had to take the live vaccine flu shot and developed ADEM. He almost died from the swelling of his brain. In fact he did die several times but was brought back to life. A portion of his brain had to be remove to relieve the pressure. He lost a very promising career, the relationship with his daughter, his wife because he was more of a child than a husband. He did not recover from his ordeal at a level that most people would consider satisfactory. It was shown that it was from the flu shot he took.

There have been a lot of cases of Transverse Myelitis since the H1N1 vaccine. Judge Philip Vigorito's son developed it after his H1N1 shot. The H1N1 drug insert lists it as one of the possible side effects. You can read the package insert for this vaccine for yourself right here.....

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM182242.pdff

Indeed, the package insert by Novartis include points to be also found in formulations from other vaccine makers:

Safety and effectiveness of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children less than 4 years of age.

Neither FLUVIRIN nor the Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.

The 5-mL multidose vial formulation contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative, added as a preservative. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multidose vial contains 25 mcg mercury.

Postmarketing Experience The following additional adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of FLUVIRIN. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccine exposure. (...). Body as a whole(...), immune system disorders Hypersensitivity reactions (including throat and/or mouth edema). In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions have lead to anaphylactic shock and death. Cardiovascular(...), digestive(...), blood and lymphatic metabolic and nutritional(...), musculoskeleta(...), nervous system disorders: Headache; dizziness; neuralgia; paraesthesia; confusion; febrile convulsions; Guillain-Barré Syndrome; myelitis (including encephalomyelitis and transverse myelitis); neuropathy (including neuritis); paralysis (including Bell’s Palsy).
