J: I do remember, even with my poor retention rate, a lot of the lessons you taught me on neuraminidase and the flu.
MA: Of course you do, knowledge once acquired is hard to put back in the bottle.
J: What of your worst fears? You were highly agitated about giving H1N1 vaccines to HIV patients?
MA: And I still am. It is a foolish experiment. And, mark my words, it is an experiment.
The potential for adverse, even dramatically negative, outcomes in this stupid risk are enormous.
The long term effects are just beginning to emerge. Dr. Brophy, of the Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario, has shown that less than 70% of children with HIV achieved seroprotection from the H1N1 vaccine Arepanrix.
This result even fails to meet the European Union standards for human use.
It is folly James. And I have urged them to stop.
J: Is there anything you would like to add about this subject?
MA: Yes, there is. We now have a report from Australia indicating that their Fluvax vaccine triggered febrile convulsions in young children at nine times the usual rate.
And while the vaccinations have been suspended the current explanation - “the strain of swine flu used in this year's seasonal flu vaccine appeared to contain a higher than usual level of neuraminidase” - is very worrisome. For all the reasons that we discussed in detail last year.

This just clanged a large loud alarm in my brain. Apparently, the vaccine contains thimerisol, formaldehyde, and squalene. Not only that, my question is, has the inactivated virus in the vaccine been shown to definitely NOT be capable of or susceptible to(please excuse my ignorant verbiage) recombination with the retrovirus? Fully aware that this could be the world's dumbest question, I bravely ask it, LOL!
A lovely holiday to you both, thank you so much for the thread, and peace.
