Un article dans le New York Times rapporte qu'il ne faudra pas blâmer le vaccin contre la grippe H1n1 pour tous les décès et problèmes de santé qui surviendront dans les semaines qui suivront la campagne de vaccination massive, rapportant notamment qu'il y a des crises cardiaques, convulsions et faussent couches même chez les gens non vaccinés. Il est évident que le monde ne changera pas, qu'il y a ait vaccination ou non, mais en même temps, on voit bien que c'est plutôt le début d'une campagne de communication qui a pour but de disculper les problèmes qui pourraient survenir après la vaccination de certains individus.

Voici quelques extraits :

...Every year, there are 1.1 million heart attacks in the United States, 795,000 strokes and 876,000 miscarriages, and 200,000 Americans have their first seizure. Inevitably, officials say, some of these will happen within hours or days of a flu shot.

Suite:

... Officials are particularly worried about spontaneous miscarriages, because they are urging pregnant women to be among the first to be vaccinated. Pregnant women are usually advised to get flu shots, because they and their fetuses are at high risk of flu complications, but this year the pressure is greater. Expectant mothers are normally advised to avoid drugs, alcohol and anything else that might affect a fetus.

...“There are about 2,400 miscarriages a day in the U.S.,” said Dr. Jay C. Butler, chief of the swine flu vaccine task force at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “You’ll see things that would have happened anyway. But the vaccine doesn’t cause miscarriages. It also doesn’t cause auto accidents, but they happen.”

...Guillain-Barré’s cause is unknown, though different studies have suggested it more often affects people who have had a flu shot, the flu itself, some bacterial infections — or even, according to Dr. Sencer’s paper, people who have been struck by lightning.

...And, in the rancor over health insurance reform, unfounded rumors are spreading that the Obama administration will make swine flu shots mandatory. Administration officials have emphatically denied that. But a recent decision by New York State to make them mandatory for all hospital employees has reinvigorated those rumors on the Internet.
