Reply to: "Cervical cancer vaccine may be riskier and more deadly than the cancer"

I had a polio vaccine again before going to Vietnam, nurse refused to give me a jelly bean, said it was for the kids. Tasted like skunk piss.

I really don't want more info as to how you can make that comparison...

I'm very pro vaccination and very anti the hysteria creating press, since they created issues over whooping cough and MMR vaccines the really nasty life and permanent health threatening diseases they counter have increased in frequency. The risks of the diseases are far, far greater than any percieved risk stirred up by clueless reporters.

Does anyone remember the jab (Polio?) you get in your upper arm around the age 11 and which doesn't heal up properly for years? Mine didn't anyway and I've met others that say the same thing.

TB.

It's a BCG. You keep the scar for life if you're lucky (like me).

You get a polio vaccine on a sugarlump (well used too).

I have some family experience of side effects of Cervarix, they do not in any way match those suffered by Natalie Morton. Her death seems to have been a sad case of someone who was already so sick that she needed little to provoke an extreme reation.

I will encourage my daughter to have the jab, but I would advise her to wait. There is no need for her to be inoculated in her early teens when her body is growing and flowing with hormones. Oh, and if you do have a reaction to the first jab, do not carry on with the next two.

"jag" - you're either Scottish, from Corby, or both

I'm from Corby, I have no idea where Scotland is.

Jag? I thought everyone said that.

I heard on Radio 4 a statement of the post mortem which said she had underlying health problems. The express seems to have papered over this. Newspapers don't do science for two main reasons
a/ They are never objective
b/ Most Journalists have no scientific training


Dr Diane Harper doesn't seem so concerned here

The only concern she may have is the extrapolation of results to pedriaric populations. But then that is a medical decision, most medicines are not tested on children (the population under study was 15+). It's at the discretion of the medical profession(s) to prescribe. Always has been.

Gf was involved in the trials of the drug and went fruit loop when she seen this, all that work done and some journalists go and piss all over it.

She told a woman with "underlying health problems" to get an appointment for the swine flu jag but her daughter had told her that she was not to take it. Gf was asking if her daugher was a doctor and what reason she had for saying that, "she read it in the paper" was the answer.

What the hell's a jag in relation to an immunisation?

Jab I can understand, Jag makes no sense to me at all.

If I had daughters instead of sons I would want to see the science behind the alleged risk before I made a decision to not have them vaccinated.

It's far too easy for the press to stir up panic over vaccinations with awful side effects.

[Sysman]

I wouldn't take the swine flu jag either...

Would that be a squeal eater Jag?
