Korea: Safety of H1N1 Vaccines Under Question
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/11/113_56080.html
Thirty-year-old pregnant woman Lee Eun-young visited her obstetrician to get advice on the vaccinations against influenza A (H1N1).
Surprisingly, her doctor did not encourage her inoculation, saying during a telephone interview, “I cannot guarantee your safety.”
After seeing the doctor, Lee felt confused. After all, the government recommended that pregnant women should be vaccinated.
Adding to her confusion were rumors that backed up her doctor’s concerns.
An elementary school teacher in southern Seoul told The Korea Times that she had received questions from her students’ parents about the safety of the vaccine.
“Some are worried about side effects,” she said.
The government is conducting vaccinations on 690,000 elementary, middle and high school students, but more than 30,000 have refused it.
The government assures the public that the vaccines are safe. The mass vaccinations come at a time when the new flu is showing signs of slowing down.
There are serious public concerns as inoculations are going into full swing. Adding weight to their worries are actual cases of harmful side effects.
On Sunday, a 16-year-old boy showed symptoms of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS), a disorder involving weakness and numbness, which can in rare cases lead to paralysis. He came down with the condition two days after he was inocculated.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said the boy was recovering. “We aren’t even sure whether his problems had direct links with the vaccination,” KCDC official Kwon Jun-wook said.
The clinical trial period for the vaccine was less than six months and the antibody formation rate is a shade over 50 percent. According to Docple.com, a Web site for physicians, only 23 percent of 504 respondents said that they would get vaccinated.
The respondents are from all walks of life so their rate is bound to be lower than among students who are in the initial stage of mass vaccinations.

@OrganicVegan1 I …
@OrganicVegan1 I don’t get why I should buy organic. Organic foods can contain some of the harmful things that are in conventional foods. And the FSA study says that there is no nutritional difference between the organic food and the conventional food. So…
YEAH i am …
YEAH i am collecting my own spring water(private spring at a very very hard to get-spot) and i am not buying veggies anymore. Greens, grasses and flowers from the forest. Saves me 150 Dollars a month. By summer i wont buy fruit and berrys anymore. Saves me at least a 100 again. Wolfe is a fraud he sells nibs(pieces of cacao nibs) for 9% less than the whole living nut that still can produce a cacao tree. This is not the proper philosophy !!!

I agree, Organic …
I agree, Organic raw foods are soooooo Expensive ! But its a catch 22, because the ONLY way the cost is going to go down, is if we all start buying more of it, so that it takes the Position of being Mainstream
Just buy as much as you are able to Organic, and dont worry about it. I think in about 10 yrs or so the costs will go down alot
Grow your own foods …
Grow your own foods if you can, or eat wild edible weeds to keep your cost down.

The higher up the food chain, the more contaminants.
I totally agree …
I totally agree with the man and believe what he is saying because i have eaten almost solely organic for the last 3 years, but recent commitments have knocked organic almost completely out of my diet because the costs are too high for it. It really really needs to come down in price although i know that this is easier said that done. But honestly, i do believe that 90% of people out there WANT to eat in organic but find it impossible financially.
Organic food is a …
Organic food is a no brainer! But these facts are amazing…
