First off, my wife and I did a lot of research before deciding if she should be vaccinated for H1N1 because she is 36 weeks pregnant(34 weeks when we started researching). At first we were worried about autism and other side effects.
IMO vaccination is essential for preventing the spread of H1N1 and any other disease that has an available vaccine. Especially in high risk situations. For me it was that my wife will soon be having our first child. There is no way in hell that I would risk bringing home the swine flu if I can prevent it.
There is no real proof that this vaccine will contribute to Autism. In actuality, almost every vaccine giving to children does not even contain Thimerosal(the preservative containing mercury ), which was "found" to be a cause of the rise in Autism. That was prior to 2001. Yet, with all the non-thimerosal vaccines, there was and is no reduction in the amount of children diagnosed with autism.(http://autismsciencefoundation.wordp...es-and-autism/) On top of that, the Doctor who first "found" this link to autism and the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine(containing Thimerosal) was found to have falsified the documents of this study. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/lif...cle5683671.ece)
There is no link to Guillain-Barré Syndrome(nerve damage and possible paralysis) and the flu shot. (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccinati...tsheet_gbs.htm)
I have no idea where the author of that article got the idea that the H1N1 vaccine can cause Alzheimer’s. I have not read that once in my research.
There are actually 5 pharmaceutical companies making the H1N1 vaccine. Non of which are located in the N. America. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_makes_...09_flu_vaccine) Of course these companies are making a killing. But that's their industry whether you like it or not, but that's a different topic all together.
Of course, no one can really know what long term side effects may come from this vaccine. This spread only began in March of this year. There is no way with that limited amount of time to say what will happen. But through our research, we thought it was in our and our daughter's best interest to be vaccinated.
