Thinking about getting the swine flu vaccine?

Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America

The Boomer lad has been posting about this topic over at Boomers and BS. I figured I'd add this little gem from the Daily Mail to the pot to keep it at a boil:

A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine.

The last time we tried vaccinations for Swine Flu was in 1976. The following happened:

• More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.(emphasis mine)
  
• 500 cases of GBS were detected.
  
• The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
  
• The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
  
• The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.
  

The Government is going to ramp up a message that everyone should get this vaccination soon. In fact, I have seen a billboard that always has a request for medical testers for various products asking for people to test a new H1N1 (they didn't call it swine flu on the billboard...hmm) vaccine already. While I'm normally not against all vaccinations, you might want to give a little extra thought and do some research before blithely receiving this one. Be wary of any attempts to "require" this vaccination at your work or childrens' school.

Please take some time to read the article linked to in the title, get some research done, and make your own informed decision.
