Western Australian vaccination for under 5s has been halted

[jcocks]

Hi..

Interesting news here in WA happened today. The latest multi-vaccinations for under 5s has been stopped in Western Australia (this new vaccination also now includes the SWINE FLU vaccination) after children presented at our local childrens' hospital within 12 hours of having the vaccination with complications including high fever and fibrile convulsions....

Authorities are currently trying to determine whether the vaccination is responsible for the reactions.

Update : The flu vaccination ban or under 5's has gone Australia-wide.

Question: Was this a voluntary, or mandatory vaccination?

Voluntary.

thanks for the heads up regarding this issue Joel. Much appreciation. :)

Surely it has nothing to do with the vaccinations...the reactions they are experiencing...of course it is!

[jcocks]

There's some belief that this could be due to vaccines going "bad" after a power-outage we had a month or so ago due to a megastorm that came through. Quite a lot of vaccine dosages had to be thrown out because the company doing the distributing of the vaccine lost power to it's fridges.....

That storm in itself was highly unusual....

[Ross]

If the power went out I would assume this kind of facility would have backup generators, seeing as we are talking about 'important' vaccinations and the like... and if there was no backup and the fridges stopped working then who authorised and 'off bach' to be administered? sound very fishy to me.

Peace

I was just thinking about this whole thing today, and it hit me : What if, someone (or something) was intentionally bringing on these reactions here to get people to ask themselves "do I really need to give these vaccinations to our children - or indeed do we need them ourselves?"....

Definitely, from talking to a few mothers at one of my eldest childrens' friends' birthday party, there are a few parents who have decided to NOT give their children the immunisation now that this has happened. Before this, they were either "on the wall" so to speak, or going to give them.... but now they're thinking twice....
