As Dr. Wodarg put it: "Our children are vaccinated unnecessarily with the new vaccine. Scientifically this is a very big error and they don't deserve our trust when they go on like this."
But perhaps the oddest study concerning flu shots was done in Canada. The paper is still under peer review, yet the results were apparently leaked. According to a September 30 article in The Globe and Mail, the study found that Canadians who received last year's seasonal flu vaccine were twice as likely to get swine flu this year.
Well-respected researchers Dr. Gaston de Serres of Laval University and Dr. Danuta Skowronski of the British Columbia Centre led the major study for Disease Control. Ethan Rubinstein, who leads the adult infectious diseases department at the University of Manitoba, said the study has "a large number of authors, all of them excellent and credible researchers," and added that, the "solid" research drew on a huge sample size of around 12 million people.
Scientists have no idea how seasonal flu vaccines and H1N1 might be connected.
One frightening possibility is suggested by the work of one of the most extreme voices in the budding movement of people who question the motives behind the swine flu vaccination plan.
Austrian science journalist Jane Burgermeister is suing the drug company Baxter for allegedly sending out around 160 pounds of seasonal flu vaccines contaminated with bird flu-contaminated vaccine. Baxter's intent, she claims, was to instigate a pandemic. Burgermeister, who formerly wrote for the British Medical Journal, Nature, and The Scientist, was recently fired from her job as European Correspondent of the Renewable Energy World website. Burgermeister believes she lost her job due to the lawsuit.
H1N1 is composed of flu strains from flu viruses found in birds, humans and pigs from both the US and Europe. One leading theory is that the international pig trade enabled the crossing of strains, but according to a Virology Journal article from November 24, how the H1N1 formed remains a mystery to science. The new strain of swine flu emerged last April, with the first cases found in Mexico. However, it is now widely believed to have spawned at hog farms in the US, the Journal reported.
