Thanks For Standing Up & Being Counted In 2009

NVIC Director, Barbara Loe Fisher

I would like to pause during this season of remembrance and celebration to give thanks to those who made 2009 special for the NVIC charity working to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and defend the informed consent ethic in medicine. On the nearly 30 year journey that those of us at the National Vaccine Information Center have taken, every year men and women of conscience and conviction have stepped forward to help us protect those who have no voice and have no choice. NVIC Director Barbara Loe Fisher says: "Thank you to Joe Mercola & TechStars, to the NVIC Conference Speakers & Attendees, to principled journalists, Health Care Workers & Citizen Activists and NVIC Staff & Donor Supporters." She continues, "ONE CLICK: Activist Mom Anchors Breaking Vaccine News in Europe. Jane Bryant is a mother and an extraordinary activist journalist who founded The One Click Group, a UK-based international health advocacy pressure group that tells it like it is. Do check out her website at www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk and make a donation to help keep this beacon of truth light shining in the UK, throughout Europe and around the world." Thank you to everyone who made 2009 a year filled with as many blessings to count as there were challenges to meet. In this season of thanksgiving and remembrance, I hope you will join us by adopting NVIC as one of your favorite charities.

There have been 24 confirmed cases of a type of severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis in Canadians who have received an H1N1 flu shot, including one person who died after getting vaccinated, the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada said Wednesday. Butler-Jones disclosed the information in Ottawa during a news conference at which federal health officials revealed flu activity appears to be levelling off. All but 15,000 doses of the vaccine had been used by the time the halt-use order was issued, said Dr. Danielle Grondin, assistant deputy minister of the public health agency. But confirmed cases of anaphylaxis have been seen with other batches as well. And some possible cases may still be under investigation.

Scientist Repeats In Published Study - Swine Flu Caused By Laboratory Escape

Adrian Gibbs, the virologist who said in May that swine flu may have escaped from a laboratory, published his findings today, renewing discussion about the origins of the pandemic virus. The new H1N1 strain, which was discovered in Mexico and the U.S. in April, may be the product of three strains from three continents that swapped genes in a lab or a vaccine-making plant, Gibbs, and fellow Australian scientists wrote in Virology Journal. The authors analyzed the genetic makeup of the virus and found its origin could be more simply explained by human involvement than a coincidence of nature. “It is important that the source of the new virus be found if we wish to avoid future pandemics rather than just trying to minimize the consequences after they have emerged,” said Gibbs.
