Swine flu Very low vaccination readiness

Swine flu: Vaccination of the German population was very low

Nearly half of the 9, 5 million vaccine doses against swine flu ordered in November 2009 were not used and now 34 million cans for nearly 300 million euros are delivered to March again.

Thus, only about 5 percent of the German population against the swine flu or new flu, vaccinate. This is an estimated number of 82 million people in Germany about 4 million vaccinations. According to a press release from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs, Women, Family and Health, the countries now only need to take 34 million out of the 50 million cans ordered, which will be supplied by the manufacturers by March of this year. Furthermore, the press release states that this reduced costs by 133.3 million. Who can count, notes that thus a vaccine dose costs about 8.3 euros and the remaining 34 million vaccines thus about 283 million (according to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) of January 12, 2010 even about 303 million ) will cost.

As can be read on Internet portals to the swine flu, many Germans are still very skeptical about the vaccine. In online surveys can be read in part, that almost 70 percent will not vaccinate in the future and the side effects of the new flu also consider about 70 percent for "very strong".

The fact is that it is difficult to get information about the side effects and complications of vaccination against the A / H1N1 virus. The database of the Paul Ehrlich Institute is currently so nested, complicated and confusing that it is difficult to record an overview of the current situation of vaccination complications and possible deaths in Germany.

The critical online magazine LifeGen has even filed a complaint against the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO). They state that "an approved drug has been purchased with virtually no long-term clinical trial" and recommended. In Germany, according to the daily report of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control of 15.1. In 2010, just over 215,000 swine flu infected people were counted. Of these, 178 people have died so far, many of whom, according to other media reports, have had previous illnesses. (Thorsten Fischer, Naturopath Osteopathy, 17.1.2010)
