Swine flu manufacturers have now been granted legal immunity in case something goes wrong that causes side effects associated with the vaccine. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services signed a document making federal officials and vaccine makers immune from lawsuits related to any ill effects from the swine flu vaccine.
Fears about the effects of a novel swine flu vaccine have sparked much discussion. A swine flu outbreak among soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J in 1974 resulted in vaccinations that caused side effects including Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a condition that causes paralysis. The result was thousands of lawsuits.

Five pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing swine flu vaccine. The drugs are not as profitable as some, like cancer drugs, but immunity from legal action provides incentive to vaccine makers.Paul Pennock, a New York plaintiffs attorney on medical liability cases spoke out about the immunity granted to swine flu vaccine makers, saying “If you’re going to ask people to do this for the common good, then let’s make sure for the common good that these people will be taken care of if something goes wrong.”
You knew this was coming.
#16, deowll,
Thing is I think there was a small out break of swine flu a few decades back and I have have had it then anyway.
The name might be the same but that was given by the media, not the science.
The correct name is H1N1 and it has not been seen in our lifetime. Apparently there is some current discussion that the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 conferred immunity. Those exposed to the Spanish flu however, will all be at least 90 y/o.
On a bad year– 220000 or more die from seasonal flu, and on a good year 44,000— these are stats. 1000 ppl or so and everyone’s pushing major vaccination campaigns? Read the actual stats on how low the mortality rate is for swine flu and youll get an idea as to why these idiots should be held responsible for the actual products “they make”. What about the ppl being killed by the vaccines– What about autopsy? Is this some kind of “collatoral damage” you accept willingly? What foolishness.
