vaccinations gone wrong

[SlowLX]

Nothing in our world will ever be perfect. Look at the situation from a statistical significance angle.


A manufacturing process is said to be completely stellar if they can reach that magical "6 Sigma" level which is 3.4 defects per million opportunities, and that is on hard parts that are machined, molded, assemled or whatever else with a very defined and structured process with the result being an inanimate object.

Now throw in the GIANT problem of the human body and how everyone's body is not the same and different people react differently to the same things.


800 in 30,000 is 27 defects per million. This is still greater than 5 Sigma (closer to 5.5). It's a failure rate of 0.0000266%



Yes, it's touchy b/c it a human life that's being messed with but look at that ~5.6 Sigma level in comparison w/ some other things...

For many medical experiments, researchers need merely to clear the 2 Sigma threshold.

To cite evidence—but not discovery—of a new particle in physics you need 3 Sigma confidence.

Before the Higgs-Boson will be "confirmed" as a new particle researchers will need 5 Sigma data. They are currently in the 4.9 range.

The vaccine is at 5.6 with the evidence on the table right now.

Also remember this is not linear.

Fuck yer book lernin, ya nerd. What are you a fag?

In total, the GSK shot was given to more than 30 million people in 47 countries during the 2009-2010 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Because it contains an adjuvant, or booster, it was not used in the United States because drug regulators there are wary of adjuvanted vaccines.

GSK says 795 people across Europe have reported developing narcolepsy since the vaccine's use began in 2009.

800 have been confirmed in Europe. It was distributed to 47 countries worldwide. How many diagnosis have been missed in Europe? How many in other regions have not been reported, have been not diagnosed?

late edit:


Those 800 are just one side effect though.

Makes you wonder what, if any, other ailments are attributed to the same vaccine.

I only get vaccines for diseases that are otherwise un-curable. The flu is not one of those. Is it going to suck if I get the flu? Yes. Am I going to get over it? Probably. Can I get over polio or tetanus? Probably not; therefore, vaccines for those are necessary.

Bring it on. We could use another cleansing

My yellow CDC shot record is completely full and it doesn't include the shots the Marine Corps gave me or a handfull of others were docs wouldn't annotate it on the yellow form. I cring EVERY FUCKING TIME they stick me. It is not the needle it is the "what the fuck is in this one" feeling I get. Per the military MOD10/11 I have to have certain shots to stay employed. Fuckers hit me with everything all the time for no fucking reason. I think a big part is our company has ordered so many meds, they have to shoot us with them or they expire and we don't get reimbursed by the government for expired meds.

Now that I have a daughter, this kind of story makes me sick to even think about the throats I would rip out if she ever got sick like this.

You have to love military shots. Tons of them, you have to take them and after you're given them, they don't follow their own directions on care. I got my small pox shots and was told to keep the area dry and clean for 2 weeks. We immediately went to the field where it was raining for 4 days straight.

Some old data published in March last year about the vaccines/side effects, they have known about this for a while..

No European countries had a particularly high rate of deaths due to the swine flue. Germany had the same death rate as Sweden, which was 0.31/100 000, although Sweden vaccinated 60% and Germany only 8%. This implies that the vaccine did little to prevent deaths

"The increased risk associated with vaccination amounted to six cases of narcolepsy per 100,000 persons vaccinated in the 4-19 age group during the eight months following vaccination. This was 12.7 times the risk of a person in the same age group who had not been vaccinated."

In Sweden, at least 150 children are now suffering from narcolepsy caused by Pandemrix vaccine. In Finland, the number is approximately 100. In both countries the number is probably growing.
