First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1
Fox News ^ | October 8, 2009 | Anne Marie Riha

Posted on 10/08/2009 8:01:02 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.

The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus.(continued)

BO, Michele My Belle, the girls, Baghdad Bob Gibbs, and every czar and cabinet member should line up for the shots on the White House lawn to set an example for the nation.

I imagine it’s been posted but I was reading tonight and came across an article stating that in certain provinces in Canada they are discontinuing the regular flu shots because it is thought that a regular flu vaccine makes one twice as susceptible to catch swine flu.

Here’s a couple snippets and links:
The changes, which are similar to those already adopted by five other provinces, came after preliminary research released last week suggested those who get a regular flu shot have an increased risk of catching swine flu. That study has yet to be independently confirmed

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/09/28/bc-swine-flu-vaccine-program.html

The study, which has not yet been published, suggests that people vaccinated against seasonal flu are twice as likely to catch swine flu. The paper is still under peer review and its authors can’t speak about the findings until it’s been published

If getting the new vaccine were needed in keeping one from getting sick, or from dying, is there any power in the world that could keep the President of the United States from insuring his own daughters received it first?

Ergo, what does that say about this vaccine?

Oh, sure

They are just waiting in line like everyone else. The idea they may bring the disease into the White House has no bearing on their eligibility for vaccine

Well, thank goodness 0b0z0 is exercising some common sense. H1N1 has killed less people in this country, so far, than the regular flu does every year.

Even if they got “injections” on TV you’d never know if they really received the vaccine.

If this is the example he wants us to follow well let’s follow it.

Gotta wonder if the prohibition for suing the manufactures of the vaccine has anything to do with it.

Yeah, they’re a little late on this finding, although I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion yet.

But I guess there’s enough evidence to hold off on the regular one...they’re still going ahead with the H1N1 vaccine though.

Hey Nana,

Will you please keep an eye out for any information reported on these first vaccines. I will and I hope everyone else does, too. It won’t be National news if there are adverse reactions. Thanks!

There’s another study that disproved this:

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090930/h1n1_vaccine/20091001?hub=Health&s_name

My daughters got their flu & pneumonia shots on Tuesday. I found out about Canda’s initial recommendation, so I called the CDC and our asthma doctor.

Everyone I talked to said the order did not matter.

From reading the article, it's not being offered to anyone except children with compromized immune systems. So it's just not available to them, yet. This article is a week or two early.

The alleged link hasn't been substantiated. No one but some Canadians can demonstrate a link, and no governments except for some of the Canadian provinces are taking it seriously. It is most likely a statistical quirk.

No need to change vaccine policy based on Canadian flu shot data: WHO

Even if it's not a statistical anomaly, the alleged link is between last year's seasonal shot and novel H1N1. This year's seasonal vaccine has the same H1N1 strain as last year, so anyone who got a flu shot last year has already assumed whatever risk may exist.

Thanks for the info. Looks like they were a little premature...however, the one study talked about the risk of getting H1N1 being increased, and the second study seems to be discussing the “severity” of the flu. It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Yep, we HAVE to get the vaccine. And you better cough into you sleeve..or you will die!! Die..I tell ya.!!

The irony here is the vaccine is being rationed in many areas.

Trying to create a panic, Kathleen?? No way. /s

Before the 2004 election there was a “manufactured” flu shot shortage that caused a lot of elderly people to stand in long lines..risking their health. After the election there was a surplus of the vaccine...go figure.

Myself, I'd rather weather an episode of the flu than take and untested vaccine.

Regular flu kills thousands each year and nobody addresses it as a pandemic or worries it could mutate into something really bad.

Re: “Yeah, my husband just got a regular flu shot today.”

*************

I got my regular flu shot last week. Get them every year and no problem. This time I’ve felt like I was coming down with flu twice since getting the shot. What’s up with that??? Nothing happened I thought for sure I’d be sick.

But I’m 60 now, time to just take the pill and die, per Dear Leader!

At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain.

So is this true or is it false? To the best of my knowledge neither kid has a chronic medical condition.

There were 200 kids at my son’s high school out with flu, and the kids were all pretty sick (fevers of 103). I’ve never seen that kind of illness rate at their schools.

Also, for kids with neurological conditions like epilepsy (my daughter has it), the death rate is twice that of normal flu.
