This was sent to me by a friend. I don't post it here making any judgement either way about whether parents should vaccinate or not. I just found it useful information in making my own decision. I can't vouch for it's validity though I imagine the 'facts' about what is in the vaccine are correct, if not the conclusions about their safety. Also, it comes from Canada so I am making an assumption the vaccine in the Uk is the same.
"First of all, this H1N1 vaccine has not been adequately tested for safety, and has been rushed to the market. We know nothing of auto-immune or neurological complications that may be associated with it (please see below).
What we know is that the vaccine contains thimerosol which is a derivative of the toxic metal, mercury. Since no amount of mercury is considered safe to ingest, this already is concerning. Mercury levels in the body can cross into the brain, making humans more prone to autism and other brain defective diseases.
There is also an additional ?adjuvant? in this vaccine that hasn?t been fully tested for safety although Toronto?s Public Health Officer calls is ?safe?. There haven?t been any long-term studies performed to prove it?s safe, and plus, pregnant women will be offered the vaccine that does not contain this adjuvant. This tells us something already. In this adjuvant is ?squalene oil?, which has been shown to damage the brain?s immune cells called ?microglia?. This prolonged damage can lead to multiple sclerosis, Parkinson?s disease, ALS, and encephalitis (brain inflammation). This ?adjuvant? also contains ?GP 120? which rests itself on the surface of our white blood cells (our protector and killer of invading agents), and allows for foreign agents to enter the white blood cells, decreasing their efficiency to kill viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. This makes us more prone to catching other illnesses."
