H1N1 vaccine clinics for health care workers to start next week

Were the days of the clinics available?

I work at UofM Hospital and I didn't get even a notice it was here, just a note on the clinic door saying they were out. I guess I was not very important. Just a very low number.

To all U-M Health System faculty/staff reading this story:

Our Occupational Health Services team received a few hundred doses last week and prioritized them to staff who care for pregnant women and infants, and to staff who are pregnant or have an infant under 6 months at home. Direct communications to those staff, and a note in the Bulletin, went out before the vaccination began.

There will be more H1N1 vaccine arriving at UMHS each week for staff vaccinations, and its availability will be announced in-house using e-mail, the Bulletin and direct communications to specific groups according to the priority order for vaccination that was announced last week. (From a U-M computer, go to www.med.umich.edu/u/flu and choose Vaccination to see the priority order.)

For our U-M patients: The gradual arrival of vaccine means we're also prioritizing vaccination to pregnant women, parents and caregivers of infants, and certain others right now. Please visit www.med.umich.edu/flu to get the latest information - we'll update it as more vaccine arrives and we can offer it to more patients!

To all: please have patience as the H1N1 vaccine supply trickles in! This is a pretty unusual situation.

Ten questions about flu vaccines that doctors and health authorities refuse to answer

Mike Adams -Natural News Editor

Here are ten questions vaccine-pushing doctors and health authorities absolutely refuse to answer:

#1) Where are the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies proving flu vaccines are both safe and effective?

Answer: There aren't any. (www.naturalnews.com/027239_v...)

#2) Where, then, is the so-called "science" backing the idea that flu vaccines work at all?

Answer: Other than "cohort studies," there isn't any. And the cohort studies have been thoroughly debunked. Scientifically speaking, there isn't a scrap of honest evidence showing flu vaccines work at all.

#3) How can methyl mercury (Thimerosal, a preservative used in flu vaccines) be safe for injecting into the human body when mercury is an extremely toxic heavy metal?

Answer: It isn't safe at all. Methyl mercury is a poison. Along with vaccine adjuvants, it explains why so many people suffer autism or other debilitating neurological side effects after being vaccinated.

#4) Why do reports keep surfacing of children and teens suffering debilitating neurological disorders, brain swelling, seizures and even death following flu vaccines or HPV vaccines?

Answer: Because vaccines are dangerous. The vaccine industry routinely dismisses all such accounts -- no matter how many are reported -- as "coincidence."

#5) Why don't doctors recommend vitamin D for flu protection, especially when vitamin D activates the immune response far better than a vaccine? (www.naturalnews.com/027231_V...)

Answer: Because vitamin D can't be patented and sold as "medicine." You can make it yourself. If you want more vitamin D, you don't even need a doctor, and doctors tend not to recommend things that put them out of business.

#6) If human beings need flu vaccines to survive, then how did humans survive through all of Earth's history?

Answer: Human genetic code is already wired to automatically defend you against invading microorganisms (as long as you have vitamin D). (www.naturalnews.com/027231_V...)

#7) If the flu vaccine offers protection against the flu, then why are the people who often catch the flu the very same people who were vaccinated against it?

Answer: Because those most vulnerable to influenza infections are the very same people who have a poor adaptive response to the vaccines and don't build antibodies. In other words flu vaccines only "work" on people who don't need them. (And even building antibodies doesn't equate to real-world protection from the flu, by the way.)

#8) If the flu vaccine really works, then why was there no huge increase in flu death rates in 2004, the year when flu vaccines were in short supply and vaccination rates dropped by 40%? (www.naturalnews.com/027239_v…)

Answer: There was no change in the death rate. You could drop vaccination rates to zero percent and you’d still see no change in the number of people dying from the flu. That’s because flu vaccines simply don’t work.

#9) How can flu vaccines reduce mortality by 50% (as is claimed) when only about 10% of winter deaths are related to the flu in the first place?

They can’t. The 50% statistic is an example of quack medical marketing. If I have a room full of 100 people, then I take the 50 healthiest people and hand them a candy bar, I can’t then scientifically claim that “candy bars make people healthy.” That’s essentially the same logic behind the “50% reduction in mortality” claim of flu vaccines. (www.naturalnews.com/027239_v…).

#10) If flu vaccines work so well, then why are drug makers and health authorities so reluctant to subject them to scientific scrutiny with randomized, placebo-controlled studies?

Answer: Although they claim such studies would be “unethical,” what’s far more unethical is to keep injecting hundreds of millions of people every year with useless, harmful vaccines that aren’t backed by a shred of honest evidence.

Two disclaimers: I'm not a doctor or other health professional. I am, however, a scientist. So, Let's try an alternative take on Mr. Adams' questions:

Here are ten questions vaccine-pushing doctors and health authorities absolutely refuse to answer:

#1) Where are the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies proving flu vaccines are both safe and effective?

A: Vaccines for many diseases have been widely tested, and widely administered to large populations. For MOST people, they are safe, relatively effective, and YES, they have been proven so by appropriate scientific means. If you're allergic to eggs, for example, then, no, they are not safe.

#2) Where, then, is the so-called "science" backing the idea that flu vaccines work at all?

A. Cohort studies are quite effective.

#3) How can methyl mercury (Thimerosal, a preservative used in flu vaccines) be safe for injecting into the human body when mercury is an extremely toxic heavy metal?

A. Yes, mercury is a poison. So are components of many common spices, inclding cinnamon. So are some fat-soluble vitamins. So is table salt, in some quantities. It's a matter of DOSAGE. It's miniscule in vaccines, and you're more likely to get more mercury from eating fish or breathing air than you are from vaccinations.

#4) Why do reports keep surfacing of children and teens suffering debilitating neurological disorders, brain swelling, seizures and even death following flu vaccines or HPV vaccines?

A: There are occassional negative reactions to shots, as there are to any medical procedure, or, for that matter, to exercise, eating, etc. And there are coincidences. Sure, I could set off my asthma on a vigorous walk around town, and I might even die from it. Likely? No. Possible? Yes.

#5) Why don't doctors recommend vitamin D for flu protection, especially when vitamin D activates the immune response far better than a vaccine? (www.naturalnews.com/027231_V...)

A: vitamin D, in appropriate dosage, is part of healthy living. It's in most milk, added to some other processed products, and is produced naturally by our skin.

#6) If human beings need flu vaccines to survive, then how did humans survive through all of Earth's history?

A: Look at the 1918 pandemic. Maybe 100 million people did NOT survive infection. Could vaccines have saved many of those lives? Yes. Will some or many people avoid infection on their own? Yes. Is flu 100% lethal? No.

#7) If the flu vaccine offers protection against the flu, then why are the people who often catch the flu the very same people who were vaccinated against it?

A: No vaccine is 100% effective. But, increased vaccination rates slows and prevents spread of disease, and reduces everyone's risk. Further, remember that those getting the vaccine are often those at most risk of catching it due to life circumstances--schools, colleges, clinics are all places with increased risk of spreading flu.

#8) If the flu vaccine really works, then why was there no huge increase in flu death rates in 2004, the year when flu vaccines were in short supply and vaccination rates dropped by 40%? (www.naturalnews.com/027239_v…)

A: Fortunately, in 2004, deaths were reduced in part by flu shots being administered to those who most needed them, and were at most risk of complications.

#9) How can flu vaccines reduce mortality by 50% (as is claimed) when only about 10% of winter deaths are related to the flu in the first place?

A: This is simply ignoring what the claim is. Let's say flu shots reduce your risk of dying from flu by 50% (that may well be reasonable). That does NOT mean your overall risk of dying is reduced by 50%. I could still have a heart attack, a car wreck, or cancer, and not surprisingly, a flu shot will not protect me from any of those things.

#10) If flu vaccines work so well, then why are drug makers and health authorities so reluctant to subject them to scientific scrutiny with randomized, placebo-controlled studies?

A: There is nothing additional learned from "randomized, placebo-controlled studies" that aren't learned from existing tests. So, why put people at risk of thinking they're protected when they are not?

I am sure there are those who will choose not to seek out the vaccine for H1N1 flu. There are two reasons I dearly hope these are few and far between. First of all, if you're making decisions for dependents, you're leaving them at awfully high risk. Second, you're putting all of us at greater risk, because through mass vaccination, you further reduce the risk for all--notably, those for whom the vaccine might not work.

Thanks for the catch. The dates have been added in the story.

Can anyone tell me, I am a health care worker, however I have no badge? If I take a pay stub with me is that suitable?
