Don't give children flu jab: chief medical officer





WA kids in flu vaccine alert



The idiot pediatricians look at me like I am a child beater when I tell them "no vaccines", huh, well thats to bad for them. Every time a child gets a flu vaccine, the whole school breaks out with the flu.

From your own link. Again.



Professor Bishop said those over the age of five could still receive the seasonal swine flu vaccine, while the swine flu shot was still safe for everyone - including children - to use, too.

You want to take a risk with your family, fine, but to state others should because you have this insane belief that shots are good and safe, while tests are being run because children are being harmed is irresponsible.

Drug regulators are urgently investigating whether the seasonal flu vaccine is safe for children, after the nation's top doctor said they shouldn't receive it.



Australia's chief medical officer Jim Bishop today said health professionals should stop immunising children under five years old with the vaccine immediately.



Professor Bishop is concerned about a spike in the number of West Australian youngsters experiencing fever and convulsions after getting the shot.

In in my state the problem is so bad, the government suspended their program...

The State Government has suspended its free flu vaccine program for WA children aged under five after 22 children became ill and were taken to Princess Margaret Hospital within hours of having their injections.

The H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines are quite safe for the vast majority of the public. As a trained medical professional I recommend that those at risk from the flu be vaccinated. I have been and so has every staffer at the clinic where I work, including some of the finest cardiologists and CT surgeons in the United States.

Do you make money off this shit? The stuff is being tested, finally, because the damage it has done. Now you call yourself a medical professional, don't you think the prudent response would be to allow the tests to be conducted before you pimp the shit. I mean, people are cowards, the sales will be made, if the people don't buy it the government will.

I have a MSPA. I'm a licensed PA-C in Cardiology and CT surgery. Unlike you I'm qualified to offer sound and prudent medical advice. My advice is that if you are medically eligible to take the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines, get vaccinated.



It's up to the individual to decide if they want to consider the advice of a medical professional such as their physician or one who has an agenda and doesn't know what they're talking about.

Well you have the chief medical officer in Australia saying don't take it, I think his word is a bit better than yours, and the government in my state knows there is a problem, they are suspending the program, they are acting professional.

Odd coming from someone who on a daily basis expresses complete distrust of all things government.



At any rate, I've offered my opinion as a medical professional with over thirty-two years in practice. Though I respect your right to an opinion it is quite misinformed.

Misinformed, well thats typical of you. The chief medical officer misinformed me, or maybe my state did, or maybe I am not misinformed at all, it could very well be that your fear of a flu that is basically nothing drives your unprofessional opinion.

If you're so trusting of someone with the title "Chief Medical Officer," then you should note that the US Surgeon General has enthusiastically endorsed being vaccinated for the Novel H1N1 and seasonal flu.



Your misinformed fear fuels your opinion about vaccines which unfortunately puts your granddaughter unnecessarily at risk from a serious illness.
