msherrett,

Criron's 2004-2005 influenza vaccine product

was recalled because tested vials were found

to be contaminated with viable bacteria -- an

ongoing problem since about 2000, which the FDA

knew about but hadn't moved to decisively address.

The British HMCA inspected the plant & , when it

found the evidence of contamination, the British

suspended the plant's " license " for the product.

Had it been left to the U.S. FDA, those suspect

lots might have been shipped into US commerce

and administered.

As it was, some of the Chiron lots had been

shipped to holding warehouses in the U.S.

before the British agency acted.

Hopefully, this has answered your question.

Respectfully,

Dr. King

I remember watching something live on Cspan or CSpan2 with Gerberding

and a bunch of Senators. They were talking about a variety of things and one

subject was the flu shot. Weldon, Burton et al were asking her why the flu

shot was coming out with mercury in it after they've just gone through all

the efforts to clean up the other vaccines. She didn't appear to have a very

good answer. THE NEXT DAY, the news broke about the Chiron production

problems. Coincidence? Perhaps.

What I have yet to see is the CDC #s on how many people died of the flu last

year. I don't suspect they can kick around that 36,000 figure again. My

guess is there were fewer flu deaths than ever. Does anyone have any info.

on this?

my understanding is that the 36,000 figure is the result of running

numbers thru a statistical model, and that it is likely a far cry from

a true reflection of the actual flu mortality rate. So my guess is

you'll likely see that number tossed about regardless ('cause it's

good FUD material...)

-Fit PR,

1. The CDCP's " 36,000 " per year for flu deaths

is based on the average of all influenza and

pneumonia deaths from 1918 until the present.

2. The actual numbers reported for past years

can be found by going to the " Morbidity and

Mortality Weekly Report " web page:

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/

and querying the MMWR search engine with

" vaccine mortality. "

There you can read for yourself that:

1. The CDC's BETTER GUESTIMATE for the 1994-2000

period is " 20,000 " influenza-associated deaths

per year

2. The CDC seems to count all pneumonia deaths

during the influenza season as " flu-associated

deaths "

Amazingly, just by reading the first few lines of

their reports, one can reduce the deaths by about

44 % (from 36,000 in their press releases to 20,000

in their reports).

From researchers who have been trying to develop

scientifically sound estimates of the deaths that

are truly " influenza-associated, " the preliminary

numbers that I have been told are on the order

of 1,200 to 1,500 per year -- not bad for a

population of 300-plus-million people (less than

1 person in every 200,000 people [~0.0005 %]).

Even if the researchers find the best estimate of the

average to be 1,800 influenza-associated deaths, then

the 36,000 to 1,800 will be a 95% reduction (or less

than 0.001% of the population [less than 6 persons in

a million people]).

Hopefully, you and other interested readers will

study these reports and the other information

provided and see that, as usual, the CDCP has been

exaggerating the numbers to " scare " the American

people into getting vaccinated.

Respectfully,

Dr. King

http://www.dr-king.com/

PS: Moreover, even if the deaths were 36,000

per year, that mortality rate, less than 1.2

persons per ten thousand people per year,

is certainly not an epedimic level of deaths

in the real world.

Just checked out the CDC website on " Morbidity and

Mortality Weekly Report " web page: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/

and came across this paragraph:

" Deaths from influenza are uncommon among both children with and

without high-risk conditions, but do occur (61,62). A study that

modeled influenza-related deaths estimated that an average of 92

deaths (0.4 deaths per 100,000) occurred among children aged <5

years annually during the 1990's, compared with 32,651 deaths (98.3

per 100,000) among adults aged >65 years (1). Reports of 153

laboratory-confirmed influenza-related pediatric deaths from 40

states during the 2003--04 influenza season indicated that 61 (40%)

were aged <2 years and, of 92 children aged 2--17 years, 64 (70%)

did not have an underlying medical condition traditionally

considered to place a person at risk for influenza-related

complications (CDC, National Center for Infectious Diseases,

unpublished data, 2005). Further information is needed regarding the

risk for severe influenza-complications and optimal strategies for

minimizing severe disease and death among children. "

92 is not an epidemic and yet, they are strongly recommending the

flu vaccines with mercury for small childrem.

This is insane and clearly a ploy to make more money from Big

Pharma.

approximately 35,750 of those deaths are from

pneumonia.

Am I wrong to assume their guestimate figures are erroneous and fabricated? They put so much emphasis on science when discussing the autism debate. To state that a death occurred from a flu virus shouldn't they have proof of and the strain of the virus before including a case in the yearly totals?

I recommend Dr. Sherri Tenpenney's video and DVD on vaccines. She points out that they use a pen to get the data they want.

OR DCs,

If we are serious about EBM...check out these...

First a systematic review and mata analysis published in Lancet Infectious Diseases http://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(11)70295-X/abstract and

Second, an industry response.  http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/general/news/oct3111producers.htmlhttp://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/general/news/oct3111producers.html

Comment:  Interesting (IMHO) how the evidence is pretty thin for flu vaccine in certain age groups, and effectiveness (where the evidence is good) is only of  " moderate "   effectiveness.  (But remember, this is only about influenza vaccination, not vaccines in general.)  But when we chiros get beat up over not being " evidence based, " it is well to remember that EBM is often in the eye of the beholder, i.e. what evidence is " good enough " depends on where you stand.

Efficacy and effectiveness of influenza vaccines: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Original TextProf T Osterholm PhD  S Kelley PhD , Prof Alfred Sommer MD , A Belongia MD

Summary

Background

No published meta-analyses have assessed efficacy and effectiveness of licensed influenza vaccines in the USA with sensitive and highly specific diagnostic tests to confirm influenza.

Methods

We searched Medline for randomised controlled trials assessing a relative reduction in influenza risk of all circulating influenza viruses during individual seasons after vaccination (efficacy) and observational studies meeting inclusion criteria (effectiveness). Eligible articles were published between Jan 1, 1967, and Feb 15, 2011, and used RT-PCR or culture for confirmation of influenza. We excluded some studies on the basis of study design and vaccine characteristics. We estimated random-effects pooled efficacy for trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) and live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) when data were available for statistical analysis (eg, at least three studies that assessed comparable age groups).

Findings

We screened 5707 articles and identified 31 eligible studies (17 randomised controlled trials and 14 observational studies). Efficacy of TIV was shown in eight (67%) of the 12 seasons analysed in ten randomised controlled trials (pooled efficacy 59% [95% CI 51—67] in adults aged 18—65 years). No such trials met inclusion criteria for children aged 2—17 years or adults aged 65 years or older. Efficacy of LAIV was shown in nine (75%) of the 12 seasons analysed in ten randomised controlled trials (pooled efficacy 83% [69—91]) in children aged 6 months to 7 years. No such trials met inclusion criteria for children aged 8—17 years. Vaccine effectiveness was variable for seasonal influenza: six (35%) of 17 analyses in nine studies showed significant protection against medically attended influenza in the outpatient or inpatient setting. Median monovalent pandemic H1N1 vaccine effectiveness in five observational studies was 69% (range 60—93).

Interpretation

Influenza vaccines can provide moderate protection against virologically confirmed influenza, but such protection is greatly reduced or absent in some seasons. Evidence for protection in adults aged 65 years or older is lacking. LAIVs consistently show highest efficacy in young children (aged 6 months to 7 years). New vaccines with improved clinical efficacy and effectiveness are needed to further reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality.

Manufacturers react cautiously to flu vaccine efficacy analysis

Roos  News Editor

Oct 31, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – Companies that market influenza vaccines in the United States are reacting cautiously to last week's meta-analysis that highlighted gaps in the evidence for the efficacy of the vaccines, with officials stressing that vaccines are still the best preventive tool and that the firms are working to improve them.

The meta-analysis, published last week in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, showed that evidence from the best randomized controlled trials (RCTs) indicates that flu vaccines have an efficacy of about 59% in adults aged 18 to 65. The authors emphasized that vaccines remain the best defense against flu, but that better vaccines are needed.

The authors also found that RCTs show the nasal-spray vaccine (live attenuated influenza vaccine, or LAIV) works well in children 6 months to 7 years old, but RCT evidence of the vaccine's efficacy in older children and adults is lacking.

The investigators found just one high-quality observational study of flu vaccine effectiveness in adults 65 and older, and it showed the vaccine was 59% effective. No high-quality RCTs of vaccine in efficacy in older adults were found, but such trials have been deemed unethical because flu vaccination has been recommended for older adults since the 1960s.
