Dr. Bob Sears says he sees no difference in the pattern of symptoms, cases, and concern between the Swine Flu and “Seasonal Flu.” As is the seasonal flu, the swine flu is contagious and spreads. If you have a pre-condition, such as asthma, heart disease or immune disorder, then more caution is advised. As to the vaccination, Dr. Bob is concerned about the impact of 4 shots (two for swine and two for seasonal flu) for babies given in the recommended month time frame, and, the impact of 3 shots (two for swine and one for seasonal flu) for children also given within a month. There has been no research done on possible short and long term affects from these shots on such young bodies. It will take a few seasons of innocuations on children to show any potential negative medical resulting conditions. Point blank, children receiving the Swine flu vaccinations are part of this lab experiment. Dr. Bob says that if your children has a previous record of no repercussions from seasonal flu vaccinations, then you may feel more comfortable giving them the new Swine flu shots. He is not ready to recommend them to his patients.
For more, we highly recommend you buy Dr. Bob Sear’s book, The Vaccine Book, making the right decision of your child. OR, go to www.thevaccinebook.com. There he gives you flu prevention and management information – invaluable.
