Not appropriate for this site? How so? I thought the threads were on the discussion of the Flu shot issue, forced vaccinations and the ethics of "false pandemics" in order to scare people into taking a shot they don't need. Is it not imperitive to know who runs these companies and what their background is? Have you seen the statistics on personal injury cases against pharmaceutical companies. Does it not bother you that one person (Rockefeller, his foundation, etc..) owns oil companies, medical schools and pharmaceutical companies? There's certainly no one in the US with more ownership in companies or their subsidiaries than D. Rockefeller. For me that's a little too much centralization of power and influence for my likeing. And on your last comment, that sounds a lot like a vaccine to me! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090519172045.htm

Yes, when I first saw it it was in the Sun, and I think the Washington Journal or something like that... but since then all links to those articles return 404 errors. I think that people have a hard time getting past "the Government is our friend" mentality that has programmed us to accept drug companies, oil companies, insurance companies with that same mentality. It's only once you've been wronged by the system, or you see article after article showing how these drug manufacturers make billions of dollars each year even when they withold safety data or cover-up trial data, or deny that their drugs harm people, that you can fully start your journey down the rabbit hole. Questioning everything means following the money. When you find out who profits from all this stuff, you get pretty angry. The injustice of the global corporatocracy is becoming more visible and people will finally have had enough when they've lost everything to it. Conspiracy theorists are those who ask questions.... If you're not asking questions, then you're part of the problem and not the solution.

please read my post above yours regarding the 'nazi germany' comments... i also give you this page from wiki: ig farben was founded on december 25, 1925, as a merger of the following six companies:[color=#0645ad][2] [color=#0645ad]basf [color=#0645ad]bayer [color=#0645ad]hoechst (including [color=#0645ad]cassella and chemische fabrik kalle) [color=#0645ad]agfa chemische fabrik griesheim-elektron chemische fabrik vorm. weiler ter meer predecessors at the beginning of the 20th century the german chemical industry dominated the world market for [color=#0645ad]synthetic dyes. the three major firms [color=#0645ad]basf, [color=#0645ad]bayer and [color=#0645ad]hoechst produced several hundred different dyes, along with the five smaller firms [color=#0645ad]agfa, [color=#0645ad]cassella, chemische fabrik kalle, chemische fabrik griesheim-elektron and chemische fabrik vorm. weiler-ter meer concentrated on high-quality specialty dyes. in 1913 these eight firms produced almost 90 percent of the world supply of dyestuffs and sold about 80 percent of their production abroad.[color=#0645ad][3] the three major firms had also integrated upstream into the production of essential raw materials and they began to expand into other areas of chemistry such as [color=#0645ad]pharmaceuticals, [color=#0645ad]photographic film, [color=#0645ad]agricultural chemicals and [color=#0645ad]electrochemicals. contrary to other industries the founders and their families had little influence on the top-level decision-making of the leading german chemical firms, which was in the hands of professional salaried managers. because of this unique situation the economic historian [color=#0645ad]alfred chandler called the german dye companies "the world's first truly managerial industrial enterprises".[color=#0645ad][4] [color=#0645ad] indigo production at basf in 1890 with the world market for synthetic dyes and other chemical products dominated by the german industry, german firms competed vigorously for market shares. although [color=#0645ad]cartels were attempted they lasted at most for a few years. others argued for the formation of a profit pool or interessen-gemeinschaft (abbr. ig, lit. community of interest).[color=#0645ad][5] in contrast, the chairman of bayer, [color=#0645ad]carl duisberg, argued for a merger. during a trip to the united states in the spring of 1903 he had visited several of the large american [color=#0645ad]trusts such as [color=#0645ad]standard oil (rockefeller), [color=#0645ad]u.s. steel, [color=#0645ad]international paper and [color=#0645ad]alcoa.[color=#0645ad][6] in 1904, after having returned to germany he proposed a nationwide merger of the producers of dye and pharmaceuticals in a memorandum to gustav von brüning, the senior manager at hoechst.[color=#0645ad][7] hoechst and several pharmaceutical firms refused to join. instead, hoechst and cassella made an alliance based on mutual equity stakes in 1904. this prompted duisberg and heinrich von brunck, chairman of basf, to accelerate their negotiations. in october 1904 an interessen-gemeinschaft between bayer, basf and agfa was formed, also known as the dreibund or little ig. profits of the three firms were pooled, with basf and bayer getting 43 percent and agfa 14 percent of all profits.[color=#0645ad][8] the two alliances were loosely connected with each other through an agreement between basf and hoechst to jointly exploit the patent on the heumann-pfleger [color=#0645ad]indigo synthesis.[color=#0645ad][9] within the dreibund bayer and basf concentrated on dye whereas agfa increasingly concentrated on photographic film. although there was some cooperation between the technical staff in production and accounting, there was little cooperation between the firms in other areas. neither were production or distribution facilities consolidated nor did the commercial staff cooperate.[color=#0645ad][10] in 1908 hoechst and cassella acquired 88 percent of the shares of chemische fabrik kalle. as hoechst, cassella and kalle were connected by mutual equity shares and were located close to each other in the [color=#0645ad]frankfurt area, this allowed them to cooperate more successfully than the dreibund, although they also did not rationalize or consolidate their production facilities.[color=#0645ad][10] foundation of ig farben ig farben was founded on december 25, 1925 as a merger of the following six companies: [color=#0645ad]basf (27.4 percent of equity capital), [color=#0645ad]bayer (27.4 percent), [color=#0645ad]hoechst including [color=#0645ad]cassella and chemische fabrik kalle (27.4 percent), [color=#0645ad]agfa (9.0 percent), chemische fabrik griesheim-elektron (6.9 percent) and chemische fabrik vorm. weiler ter meer (1.9 percent). in 1926 ig farben had a [color=#0645ad]market capitalization of 1.4 billion [color=#0645ad]reichsmark and a workforce of 100,000 people, of which 2.6 percent were university educated, 18.2 percent were salaried professionals and 79.2 percent were workers.[color=#0645ad][2] similar mergers took place in other countries. in the united kingdom [color=#0645ad]brunner mond, [color=#0645ad]nobel industries, [color=#0645ad]united alkali company and [color=#0645ad]british dyestuffs merged to [color=#0645ad]imperial chemical industries in september 1926. in france établissements poulenc frères and société chimique des usines du rhône merged to [color=#0645ad]rhône-poulenc in 1928.[color=#0645ad][11] the [color=#0645ad]ig farben building, headquarters for the conglomerate in [color=#0645ad]frankfurt am main, germany, was completed in 1931. in 1938 the company had 218,000 employees.[color=#0645ad][12] [color=#0645ad] ig farben factory in monowitz (near auschwitz) 1941 world war ii during the planning of the invasion of [color=#0645ad]czechoslovakia and [color=#0645ad]poland, ig farben cooperated closely with nazi officials and directed which chemical plants should be secured and delivered to ig farben.[1] in 1941, an investigation exposed a "marriage" cartel between john d. rockefeller's united states-based standard oil co. and i.g. farben.[color=#0645ad][13][color=#0645ad][14] (see[color=#0645ad][15] and[color=#0645ad][16]) it also brought new evidence concerning complex price and marketing agreements between [color=#0645ad]dupont, a major investor in and producer of [color=#0645ad]leaded gasoline, [color=#0645ad]united states industrial alcohol company and their subsidiary, [color=#ba0000]cuba distilling co. the investigation was eventually dropped, like dozens of others in many different kinds of industries, due to the need to enlist industry support in the war effort. however, the top directors of many oil companies agreed to resign, and oil industry stocks in molasses companies were sold off as part of a compromise worked out.[color=#0645ad][17][color=#0645ad][18][color=#0645ad][19] ig farben built a factory (named buna chemical plant) that produced [color=#0645ad]synthetic oil and [color=#0645ad]rubber (from [color=#0645ad]coal) at [color=#0645ad]auschwitz,[color=#0645ad][20] which was the beginning of [color=#0645ad]ss activity and camps in this location during [color=#0645ad]the holocaust. at its peak in 1944, this factory made use of 83,000 [color=#0645ad]slave laborers and prisoners.[color=#0645ad][21] the pesticide [color=#0645ad]zyklon b (infamous for its use in gas chambers during the holocaust), for which ig farben held the [color=#0645ad]patent, was manufactured by [color=#0645ad]degesch (deutsche gesellschaft für schädlingsbekämpfung), which ig farben owned 42.2 percent of (in shares) and which had ig farben managers in its managing committee. of the 24 directors of ig farben indicted in the so-called ig farben trial (1947–1948) before a u.s. military tribunal at the subsequent nuremberg trials, 13 were sentenced to prison terms between one and eight years. some of those indicted in the trial were subsequently made leaders of the post-war companies that split off from ig farben, including those who were sentenced at nuremberg. ruins of the synthetic petrol plant (hydrierwerke pölitz – aktiengeselschaft) in police, poland facilities during world war ii ig farben facilities were bombing targets of the [color=#0645ad]oil campaign of world

up to today, it is still in existence as a corporation "in liquidation", meaning that the purpose of the continuing existence of the corporation is being wound up and dissolved orderly. as of 2010, its shares are still traded on german markets[26]. on november 10, 2003, its liquidators filed for insolvency[27], but again, this does not discontinue the existence of the company as a legal person. it had contributed 500,000 dm (£160,000 or €255,646) towards a foundation for former captive laborers under the nazi regime. the remaining property, worth dm 21 million (£6.7 million or €10.7 million), went to a buyer. during this lengthy period, the holding company had been continually criticized for failing to pay any compensation to the former laborers, which was the stated reason for its continued existence after 1952.[citation needed] the company, in turn, blamed the ongoing legal disputes with the former captive laborers as being the reason it could not be legally dissolved and the remaining assets distributed as reparations. nevertheless, it refused to join a national compensation fund that was set up in 2001 to pay people who had suffered.[28] each year, the company's annual meeting in frankfurt was the site of demonstrations by hundreds of protesters.[29] the accused against 23 persons charges were filed. in 1945, the sentence was as follows: carl krauch (chairman of ig farben) - 6 years because of "slavery", released in 1950, 1955 board member of huels gmbh; otto ambros (director, planning ig auschwitz) - 8 years, released in 1952, from 1954 in various executivefunctions, and pharmaceutical issues, such grünenthal than or consultant for f. k. flick; ernst burgin - 2 years;

christian schneider - acquittal; georg von schnitzler - 5 years; carl wurster (director) - acquittal, 1952 chairman of the "new" basf, etc..... let's look at some of these companies in the news: bayer sells hiv tainted blood products to asia and latin america see bayer on wiki see dr. len horowitz's article on the subject here: http://www.healingcelebrations.com/smallpoxandanthrax.htm see baxter on wiki baxter admits to releasing live h5n1 virus in contaminated product to europe. (i apologise that i can't post the actual toronto sun article as it's been removed) excerpt from wiki on merk: "between the wars and during [color=#0645ad]world war ii, the company was led by [color=#0645ad]george w. merck, who oversaw america's germ-warfare research at fort detrick." the evidence is there that the major pharmaceutical companies had their origins in wwii era and ig farben or had as their directors, those people who had ties to the nazi regime. there is also equal proof that the pharmaceutical companies that exist today have engaged in practices that have sought to knowingly (through cover-ups) or unknowingly (accidental release) harm people through their products. if you can still disagree with this after reading the above information and the links and call it conspiracy, then you have some very rose-colored glasses indeed.

good for you for sharing these points! i'd written a reply on the "nazi germany" issue as well, which i lost several paragraphs as the reply didn't post. if you look into the history of the drug companies, we'll find only a few "biggies" who were around at the time of the second world war. one biggie was ig farben, who'd conveniently set up shop next to auschwitz. ig farben was a chemical manufacturing company that manufactured sarin gas. after the war ended, many of the scientists, physicists and engineers were brough to america and given immunity from the nuremburg trials in exchange for divulging their trade secrets, and agreeing to work for american interests alone. the rockefellers were at that same time, busy buying up control of the medical establishment and set up harvard as the pre-eminent centre for medical research and education. in fact william rockefeller's interest in big oil soon became an interest in big pharma. at one time, he tried to sell unrefined petroleum as a cancer cure. rockefeller and i.g farben and the drug companies they soon controlled acted to suppress effective drugs until it's cartel could be established. "ig farben came into being in 1925. bosch convinced bayer, basf, hoechst, and many smaller companies to form a cartel powerful enough to withstand turbulent times. although bosch, who became chairman, criticized adolf hitler publicly as late as 1939, he was unable or unwilling to prevent more opportunistic members of ig farben management from joining the nazi party, providing financial backing to the regime, and taking an active role in secret war preparations." http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_34/b4097098922518.htm eustace mullins who wrote extensively about the various controlling interests being set up in the u.s. and who was a protege of ezra pound, wrote: "franks (as in lord oliver franks who directed wellcome trust - my note)was ambassador to the united states from 1948 to 1952. he also was a director of the rockefeller foundation, as its principlal representative in england. he also was a director of the schroeder bank, which handled hitler's personal bank account; director of the rhodes trus in charge of approving rhodes scholarships; visiting professor at the university of chicago; and chairman of lloyd's bank, one of england's big five." "rockefeller control over the medical establishment also was excercised through the rockefeller sanitary commission and the rockefeller institute for medical research, at one time headed by dr. detlev bronk, already named as a suspected member of mj-12. rockefeller's general education board has spent more than $100 million to gain control of the nations medical schools and turn our physicians to physicians of the allopathic school, dedicated to surgery and the heavy use of drugs." eustace mullins, as quoted in the rise of the fourth reich, jim marrs. also, i make the following points: how does someone like donald rumsfeld (ceo of searle - manufacturer or aspartame), become g (dubya) bush's chief of staff? i encourage you to look into the number of people who've moved from positions within drug companies or the cdc or the fda to positions in government.... this is your homework assignment. as well, the parliamentary assembly of the commission of europe published a report highly critical of the behavior of the who and the drug companies who manufactured the vaccine for the "h1n1 pandemic": doc. 12283 7 june 2010 the handling of the h1n1 pandemic: more transparency needed report1 social health and family affairs committee rapporteur: mr paul flynn, united kingdom, socialist group summary on 11 june 2009, the world health organization (who) officially declared “pandemic (h1n1) 2009”. the way in which the h1n1 influenza pandemic has been handled, not only by who, but also by the competent health authorities at the level of the european union and at national level, gives rise to alarm. some of the consequences of decisions taken and advice given are particularly troubling, as they led to distortion of priorities of public health services across europe, waste of large sums of public money and also unjustified scares and fears about health risks faced by the european public at large. grave shortcomings have been identified regarding the transparency of decision-making processes relating to the pandemic which have generated concerns about the possible influence of the pharmaceutical industry on some of the major decisions relating to the pandemic. it must be feared that this lack of transparency and accountability will result in a plummet in confidence in the advice given by major public health institutions. (read the full report here). hope you find this enlightening and a window into the inner workings of our health institutions.

How many people in hospital aquire the flu from being in the hospital around other people who have the flu? any numbers? It's my understanding that the common cold is more communicable in hospital than the flu. Seriously, how many people who are in for a surgical procedure die from getting the flu from their caregiver? (and you can't tell me that every nurse gets a flu shot). Just asking for some proofs to go with the best practices being thrown around.

There is a proverb that says, "when someone chooses to give you the gift of anger, and you refuse it, to whome does the gift belong?". We can choose not to accept the attacks on our self from others.... It's their anger after all, isn't it? So if we could just realize that we can acknowledge peoples anger or disappointment in us without internalizing it we might just have a formula for surviving the "con's" of nursing practice. I'll never forget your Elmo story. Thanks for this.

Any business is only as good as it's CEO. With that in mind, I have to point the finger here at management. Do you have staff meetings that you can voice your opinion to or can you go to speak to a supervisor above your ward manager? Any good manager would recognize that an unhappy staff member is counterproductive. Several unhappy staff members is disasterous. Also, consider a change of venue. I work casual at two long term care facilities and at one there are numerous signs posted that state that verbal abuse of the staff is not tolerated. At the other, no such signs exist. Why is that? One is a Christian based environment and the other isn't. Can you guess which one has the signs? That's right, at the Christian based home, we have plenty of problems with family and demanding residents that rarely use a please or thank you. The other one is a very warm and caring environment. On the flip side, the Christian home is so busy that it feels like all you do is poop duty. There is rarely time to rub some lotion on some skin, sit with a dying resident, give a bit longer bath, do a little extra with the hair etc... I truly feel that the environmental conditions actually allow us to do what nurses do best.... CARE. Without that environment, nurses will of course feel over-worked and under-appreciated. As well, you will be heading into every situation expecting the worst and will therefore never be disappointed. Management needs to know this is a problem not only from your standpoint, but from the perspective that a well cared for nurse translates to well cared for patients and family. Hope this helps.

That's too bad.... keep us posted on how you're feeling. Do you remember which manufacturer made the flu shot? I'm getting mine today and will be taking the lot # down and getting an insert. Will let you know how I do, too. Last year the H1N1 shot gave me chest tightness and tingling and numbness in my hands and feet. I also had muscle twitching in my legs and arms that subsided after 4 weeks. I reported my symptoms but have been told that it's ok to get the trivalent seasonal flu shot this year. I'm against this vaccine as I never had problems until I started taking the flu shots. Now that I am in nursing school it is required (well, strongly recommended, but that means if you don't have it and an outbreak of any kind occurs, I'll be required to discontinue my clinical rotation and will basically have to repeat a whole year).

Here's an interesting interview about changing liability legislation for vaccine manufacturers.

Hi Kimberly, Came across this article today: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1323208/Patient-anger-swine-flu-jab-stealth.html

Don't be deceived into thinking our system is any better or unique from the Americans. Did you know that Canada signed a 'pandemic' co-operation agreement, that basically co-ordinates our two country's policies and even allows the military to come into our country in order to protect it's interests in case of natural or manmade disasters (including pandemics)?? Our quasi-democratic society only lightly veils the tyranny as democracy...but only lightly.

Any idea what the "fourth component" is? I have researched quite a bit about the GSK vaccine adjuvant system and would be very courious to know what they're adding. Can you find out for me?

Really? Where would you be able to work that you wouldn't be required to have a vaccine???? Public health??? Nope... dealing with the elderly and children. Long term care??? Nope, dealing with palliative and elderly people again. Third world countries???? Nope gotta get a shot to go overseas...... So pretty much vaccination is everywhere....so long as you Nurse. So then can you be a nurse and not be vaccinated? I do personally feel it is a constitutional issue. When a government considers mandating vaccinations, then it becomes a constitutional issue and no longer a employer policy issue. How far are we willing to allow our personal rights as Nurses to be superceded by the rights of others. A patient has more rights to determine the course of their own healthcare than the nurse providing it. Does that seem right?

here is an interesting link to some peer reviewed papers on the subject of thimerosol toxicity http://lib.bioinfo.pl/meid:158145 another link to just one of the articles on squalene based adjuvants: http://lib.bioinfo.pl/pmid:4214125 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12892730 - induction of lupus based autoantibodies j autoimmun. 2003 aug;21(1):1-9. induction of lupus autoantibodies by adjuvants. satoh m, kuroda y, yoshida h, behney km, mizutani a, akaogi j, nacionales dc, lorenson td, rosenbauer rj, reeves wh. division of rheumatology and clinical immunology, department of medicine, university of florida, p.o. box 100221, 1600 sw archer road, gainesville, fl 32610-0221, usa. [email protected] abstract exposure to the hydrocarbon oil pristane induces lupus specific autoantibodies in non-autoimmune mice. we investigated whether the capacity to induce lupus-like autoimmunity is a unique property of pristane or is shared by other adjuvant oils. seven groups of 3-month-old female balb/cj mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of pristane, squalene (used in the adjuvant mf59), incomplete freund's adjuvant (ifa), three different medicinal mineral oils, or saline, respectively. serum autoantibodies and peritoneal cytokine production were measured. in addition to pristane, the mineral oil bayol f (ifa) and the endogenous hydrocarbon squalene both induced anti-nrnp/sm and -su autoantibodies (20% and 25% of mice, respectively). all of these hydrocarbons had prolonged effects on cytokine production by peritoneal apcs. however, high levels of il-6, il-12, and tnfalpha production 2-3 months after intraperitoneal injection appeared to be associated with the ability to induce lupus autoantibodies. the ability to induce lupus autoantibodies is shared by several hydrocarbons and is not unique to pristane. it correlates with stimulation of the production of il-12 and other cytokines, suggesting a relationship with a hydrocarbon's adjuvanticity. the potential to induce autoimmunity may complicate the use of oil adjuvants in human and veterinary vaccines. pmid: 12892730 [pubmed - indexed for medline] baxter contaminates vaccine supply with live h5n1.... this is the link to the article, but when you click on the link there's no story. i tried accessing it another way on bloomberg and it says there is no match... i also tried several links to newspaper articles and their articles no longer exist. the one from the toronto sun which i accessed about a month ago also no longer exists. baxter acknowledges h5n1-tainted lab samples officials from baxter today responded to reports of influenza vaccine contaminated with the h5n1 virus that caused a scare at a czech laboratory. chris bona, a baxter spokesman, told bloomberg news that the virus material sent to labs in three countries near its austria headquarters was supposed to contain seasonal flu virus but was unintentionally contaminated with the h5n1 virus. the czech lab workers discovered the error when inoculated ferrets died. so far, none of the workers have become ill.
