疫苗可能比流感更危險 Vaccine may be more dangerous than the swine flu

By Dr Russell Blaylock
One can continue to believe that the global gurus of public health are responding appropriately to the swine flu emergency and willingly take the shot if they choose to do so. But such trust and complacency requires the omission of one key factiod: The vaccine contains an oil-based "adjuvant" containing "squalene." Adjuvants are used to boost an immune response. Squalene, which is a causal factor in Gulf War illness, causes crippling arthritis and premature death in about 100 percent of lab animals and has been associated with autoimmune diseases and premature death in people as well. Early reports of trials with the H1N1 vaccine show that the vaccine is already maiming and killing people. It appears certain that those who take the vaccine may not get the flu but can expect to die a painful and premature death—and WHO et. al know it.
An outbreak of swine flu that occurred in Mexico last spring eventually affected 4,910 Mexican citizens and resulted in 85 deaths. By the time it spread to the United States, the virus caused only mild cases of flu-like illness.
Thanks to air travel and the failure of public health officials to control travel from Mexico, the virus spread worldwide. Despite predictions of massive numbers of deaths and the arrival of doomsday, the virus has remained a relatively mild disease, something we know happens each year with flu epidemics.
Cases to date as of July 7, 2009. Worldwide, there have only been 311 deaths out of 70,893 cases of swine flu. In the United States, 27,717 cases have resulted in 127 deaths. Every death is a tragedy, but such a low death rate should not be the basis of a draconian government policy.
It is helpful to recall that the Centers for Disease Control, with the collusion of the media, constantly tell us that 36,000 people die from the flu each year, a figure that has been shown to be a lie. In this case, we are talking about 300 plus deaths for the entire world.
From whence this novel strain?
This virus continues to be an enigma for virologists. In the April 30, 2009 edition of Nature, a virologist was quoted as saying, "Where the hell it got all these genes from we don’t know."
Extensive analysis of the virus found that it contained the original 1918 H1N1 flu virus, the avian flu virus (bird flu) and two new H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia. Debate continues over the possibility that swine flu is a genetically-engineered virus.
Scandal. Naturally, vaccine manufacturers have been in a competitive battle to produce the first vaccine. The main contenders have been Baxter Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the latter of which recently acquired the scandal-ridden Chiron vaccine company. Both of these companies have had agreements with the World Health Organization to produce a pandemic vaccine.
Contamination. The Baxter vaccine, called Celvapan, has had fast track approval. It uses a new vero cell technology, which utilizes cultured cells from the African green monkey. This same animal tissue transmits a number of vaccine-contaminating viruses, including the HIV virus.
More contamination. The Baxter company has been associated with two deadly scandals. The first event occurred in 2006 when hemophiliac components were contaminated with HIV virus and injected in tens of thousands of people, including thousands of children. Baxter continued to release the HIV-contaminated vaccine even after the contamination was known.
Accidental release. The second event occurred recently when it was discovered that Baxter had released a seasonal flu vaccine containing the bird flu virus, which would have produced a real world pandemic, to 18 countries. Fortunately, astute lab workers in the Czech Republic discovered the deadly combination and blew the whistle before a worldwide disaster was unleashed [The IO, March, 2009].
Despite these two deadly events, WHO maintains an agreement with Baxter Pharmaceuticals to produce the world’s pandemic vaccine.
[Note: WHO announced that it would launch an investigation into Baxter’s "accidental" release of H5N1-contaminated flu vaccine that killed lab animals (ferrets) in the Czech Republic. No investigation has ever been conducted. ~DWH].
Squalene
Novartis, the second contender, also has an agreement with WHO for a pandemic vaccine. Novartis appears to have won the contract, since its vaccine is near completion. What is terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients, called "immune adjuvants" that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.
Animal studies using this adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A study using 14 guinea pigs found that, when they were injected with the special adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly outcome.
So, what is this deadly ingredient? It is called squalene, a type of oil. The Chiron company, maker of the deadly anthrax vaccine, makes an adjuvant called MF-59 which contains two main ingredients of concern—squalene and gp120. A number of studies have shown that squalene can trigger all of the above-mentioned autoimmune diseases when injected.
[Note: All higher organisms produce squalene. The squalene used as a vaccine adjuvant is a fish oil, particularly shark liver oil. The problem with injected squalene is that it signals the body to attack its own essential fatty acids. Combined with other vaccine ingredients, the result is autoimmunity, where the body begins attacking its own tissues. ~DWH]
The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines, including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated with adverse reactions.
Questionable studies. I reviewed a number of studies on this adjuvant and found something quite interesting. Several studies done on human test subjects found MF-59 to be a very safe immune adjuvant. But when I checked to see who did these studies, I found—to no surprise—that they were done by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Company and Chiron Pharmaceutical Company, which have merged. They were all published in "prestigious" medical journals. Also, to no surprise, a great number of studies done by independent laboratories and research institutions all found a strong link between MF-59 and autoimmune diseases.
Gulf War Illness. Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Illness. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease).
Brain inflammation. Because squalene, the main ingredient in MF-59, can induce hyperimmune responses and induce autoimmunity, a real danger exists for prolonged activation of the brain’s immune cells, the microglia. This type of prolonged activation has been strongly associated with such diseases as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS and possibly vaccine-related encephalitis. It has been shown that activation of the systemic immune system, as occurs with vaccination, rapidly activates the brain’s microglia at the same time, and this brain inflammation can persist for long periods.
So, how would the gp120 get into the brain? Studies of other immune adjuvants using careful tracer techniques have shown that they routinely enter the brain following vaccination. What most people do not know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most such studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks following vaccination—these types of reactions may take months or even years to manifest.
The profit motive
It is obvious that the vaccine manufacturers stand to make billions of dollars in profits from this WHO/government-promoted pandemic. Novartis, the maker of the new pandemic vaccine, recently announced that they would not give free vaccines to impoverished nations—everybody pays.
Grim reality. One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself—at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.
The best medicine. There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements and a good diet.

日進入冬季流感高峰期

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)日本冬季流感爆發的高峰時節悄然到臨。國立感染症研究所表示,統計數字顯示,本星期內已有一百一十一萬人感染了流感。
該研究所收到了全國約五千家醫療機關的調查報告,平均每個醫療機關接收的流感患者人數增加了約三倍。隨着冷空氣未來逐漸散去,氣溫將有所回升。 但預計在今後一個月時間裏,仍可能會爆發大規模流感。各個感染群體中,以五至十四歲的兒童染病人數增幅最為顯著,較上周增加了四點三倍。
另外,日本氣象廳指出,香港時間昨日中午日本關東地區觀測到黎克特製五點一級地震,震央在千葉縣東方外海,深度十公里,東京的市中心也感受到搖晃。

13歲童流感 疑併發腦膜炎

【本報訊】衞生防護中心昨公佈新增流感嚴重個案,患者為 13歲男童,疑併發腦膜炎,為本港十天內第二宗乙型流感嚴重個案。有傳染病專科醫生指此乃流感季節降臨警號,若家長發現子女病徵異於一般流感,應盡快求醫。
衞 生防護中心上周三公佈一宗兩歲男童疑因乙型流感併發腦炎,發病兩天即發高燒和抽搐,現留醫廣華醫院。中心昨公佈一新增個案,該名 13歲男童本月 3日咳嗽、流鼻水及喉嚨痛,多次求診私家醫生, 15日開始頭痛、嘔吐、發燒及怕光, 17日入住聖德肋撒醫院,同日轉送伊利沙伯醫院。院方疑他患上腦膜炎,樣本對乙型流感呈陽性反應,現情況穩定。

成日瞓 唔想醒勿輕視

男童所屬學校無流感爆發迹象,其母親及姊姊本月初也出現上呼吸道感染病徵,現已康復。上述兩宗個案病發前健康良好,需時確定其乙型流感病毒屬於山形型或維多利亞型。現時山形品種的乙型流感在台灣肆虐,導致多人死亡。
傳染病專科醫生勞永樂稱,年初是流感季節開端,每年此時也有兒童嚴重併發症個案:「係一個警號,家長應該特別留意細路仔健康,病就唔好出街玩。」
勞永樂又指,乙型流感病徵與其他流感一樣,也是咳嗽及流鼻水,若子女嘔吐、怕光、神志不清及氣促,可能是嚴重併發症的症狀,應盡快求醫:「成日瞓唔想醒,或者明顯氣促,都唔係一般流感病徵,千祈唔好掉以輕心。」

35天無雨無雪 濕度如撒哈拉 乾燥催病氣 東京爆流感

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)日本各地近期爆發新型流感,求醫人數激增,東京有學校停課,政府也下令官員盡量避免外出,防止流感擴散。日本氣象廳表示以東京為中心的關東地區,受強冷空氣侵襲,天氣持續乾燥,東京甚至乾燥如撒哈拉沙漠。
日本國立傳染病研究中心發表報告,指日本全國進入新型流感爆發期,各地求醫人數激增,東京至少有兩所小學,因患上感冒的學生太多,須臨時停課。日本政府特別指示各地政府首長避免隨便外出。對於情況嚴重的城市,要減少、甚至禁止集會。
籲官員留家 減少集會
內閣為應對流感,計畫在下周二國會會議提出《新型流感特別措置法》,立法規定應對流感方法、醫療行為準則、救災物資運送權,以及政府及醫療人員的懲罰規定。
日本氣象廳周四表示,以東京為中心的關東地區,已經三十五天沒有下雨下雪記錄。東京空氣乾燥程度,甚至有如非洲撒哈拉沙漠。在十九日上午九時,東京錄得空氣濕度只有百分之二十;據資料顯示,撒哈拉沙漠空氣濕度大約為百分之十二至二十二。
下周審議特別措置法
天氣長期乾燥,使到流感橫行,小童集體感冒導致學校停課、老人支氣管炎更為嚴重。同時,乾燥天氣使火災頻生,去年十二月份東京消防廳錄得火災次數,比前年同期增加七十九宗。
不過乾燥天氣使部分商品銷情暢旺。化妝水和保濕液、潤喉糖及漱口水十二月份銷量均比前年同期增長兩成。

流感病毒樣本 急增一倍

【本報訊】冬季流感高峰期殺到,衞生防護中心發現近期流感活躍,本月初驗出的流感病毒樣本達一百四十一個,較去年十一月中急增一倍。有家庭醫學專科醫生指出,天氣持續寒冷,因感冒求診者較往日增近兩成。有呼吸科專家預告流感個案於未來數周逐步增加。


衞生防護中心公共衞生檢測中心最近分離出的流感病毒數目上升,截至去年十一月十二日的一周內錄得六十八樣本,今年一月七日一周急升至一百四十一個樣本。化驗顯示,截至今年一月四日共一百個樣本中,以乙型流感病毒佔多,有六十個,其餘為甲型流感病毒。
衞生防護中心表示,會繼續密切監察海外及本地流感情況,加強與醫院管理局及私家醫院聯繫,監察因流感並需入住深切治療部或死亡的個 案,兒童流感個案亦不會掉以輕心。家庭醫學專科醫生關嘉美指,近月因出現傷風、咳嗽、感冒或頭痛等徵狀的求診人數增加一至兩成,接種流感疫苗的人數亦增 加,但暫未接獲出現嚴重併發症如氣管炎的個案。

料農曆新年後感染人數升

中文大學呼吸內科教授許樹昌指,暫未發現流感入院病人大增:「通常凍咗一段時間先會多個案」,他預料農曆新年過後,感染人數將增加。

星島日報 – 2011年11月30日星期三上午6:09

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)本港衞生防護中心正密切監察美國出現來自豬隻的甲型H3N2流感病毒情況,中心指當地已發現十宗個案涉及基因重組病毒,其中三宗個案並無接觸豬隻,顯示病毒出現有限度的人傳人情況。中心表示,本港並無發現感染美國豬流感H3N2病毒個案,會密切監測情況,進行病毒分析,又提醒市民盡早接種流感疫苗。

  十個案 三宗無接觸豬隻

  衞生署衞生防護中心昨表示,中心自今年七月起一直密切監察在美國出現、來自豬隻的甲型流感H3N2病毒的事態發展。在美國已發現十宗個案涉及該基因重組病毒。十宗個案的患者已經康復,大部分個案的病情相對輕微,其中七宗個案曾直接或間接與豬隻接觸,而其他三宗在愛荷華州呈報的個案則沒有與豬隻接觸,顯示病毒出現有限度的人傳人情況。

  發言人說,根據美國當局的流行病學調查,沒有證據顯示病毒出現持續性的人傳人情況。迄今香港沒有發現有人感染該種在美國出現來自豬隻的甲型流感H3N2病毒。衞生防護中心會密切監察美國的流行病學調查進展,「在香港,我們有一個精確的實驗室監測系統監測流感病毒,會對分離出的流感病毒株進行特性分析,包括抗原及基因分析。」

  中心又提醒市民應盡早接種流感疫苗,以便在冬季流感季節來臨前作好保護。截至十一月二十七日為止,已有超過二十一萬七千人通過「政府防疫注射計畫」及「疫苗資助計畫」接種流感疫苗。

  另外,荃灣浸信會幼稚園爆發流行性感冒,二十九名學童受感染,年齡介乎三至五歲,其中一人入院,情況穩定。衞生防護中心已派人到幼稚園視察,校方已採取預防感染措施。

流感疫苗不管用,效果會消失?


美國疾病管制局 (CDC) 及疫苗業者向來都聲稱「我們的疫苗非常有效,幾乎能夠預防各種流感的侵襲」,但是不知怎麼的,這些疫苗在一年之後,效用就會逐漸減弱而必須重新注射。

這根本是疫苗業者撒下的天大謊言:你必須每年重新接種一次疫苗,但是這些疫苗所使用的病毒株卻經常跟上一個年度一樣。例如 2011 年的流感疫苗即和 2010 年所使用的病毒株一樣。
如果疫苗真的如 CDC 及疫苗業者所說的那麼有效,為何每年都要重新接種一次同樣的疫苗?
CDC 表示:「疫苗的效果會逐漸減弱。」但是照理來說,人類的抗體通常會持續一輩子,所以一般人在得過水痘之後就不會再得到第二次,因為當你小時候得過水痘,你就已經產生水痘的抗體,而且一輩子也不會消失;也就是說,你的免疫系統已經使你對水痘終生免疫。
疫苗業者錯誤的聲稱疫苗同樣可以促使人產生抗體,但實際上這些抗體的強度和數量都不如人體靠著自然感染和恢復所自行產生的。這就是為什麼疫苗的效果會逐漸消失,造成人體無法抵禦病毒的入侵。沒錯,疫苗不是永久有效。
換句話說,疫苗並沒有業者所聲稱的作用,因此他們才需要年復一年推銷同樣的疫苗。 CDC 已經公開承認疫苗非萬能:「今年的流感疫苗與去年相同,因為同樣的流感病毒仍在流行。政府的衛生部門也呼籲每個人都應該接種疫苗,因為疫苗的作用可能會在數個月之後大幅減弱。」
由此看來,疫苗實際上並沒有促成人體產生抗體的反應,因為抗體的作用是一生都不會消失的。但是疫苗業者卻不會教育大眾有關傳染病及抗體的知識,因為他們忙於推銷每年的流感疫苗,懶得為科學真相操心。
近來已經有 5 家疫苗業者宣布他們即將在下一季生產 1 億 6600 萬至 1 億 7300 萬劑的疫苗,這是美國有史以來疫苗產量最高的一季。當大量的疫苗在冬季到來,CDC 勢必將大肆宣傳並散播恐懼以說服大眾接種疫苗,此時人們很難考慮到去年早就接種過同樣的疫苗這件事。
如果去年的疫苗沒有作用,今年同樣的疫苗又怎麼能夠發揮更好的效用?很簡單,因為 CDC 絕對不會透露今年的疫苗使用的是與去年相同的病毒株。他們只會一再聲稱疫苗幾乎可以完全預防流感,聯邦貿易委員會 (FTC) 真應該對他們廣告不實處以罰款。
接著大群不知真相的民眾同樣會大排長龍,接種和去年相同、毫無作用又含有防腐劑的疫苗。最荒謬的事實是,每年罹患流感的絕大多數人都有接種疫苗!
很令人驚訝嗎?但是原因顯而易見,那就是疫苗根本沒有作用。儘管可能還是有人相信疫苗一開始可以發揮作用,但是 CDC 已經公開承認,數月之後疫苗的效果就會消失,就像電池一樣,而這正好證明疫苗並沒有辦法製造真正抗體反應的事實。
CDC 現在已經準備向大眾銷售年度性的疫苗,說服大眾為了保持健康應該每年接種疫苗,這分明是一種詐騙,目的使是疫苗廠商每年冬天都能荷包滿滿。這套市場策略使 得 CDC 正在犯下銷售不實商品的錯誤;每 100 個接種疫苗的人,可能就有 99 個感受不到與接種之前有任何差別。即使是業者最佳的測試結果,流感疫苗發揮效用的比例也未超過 1%,而且測試的時間還是在疫苗接種之後不久,效果減弱之前。
近來有一名 CDC 的疫苗科學家被聯邦大陪審團以洗錢及詐欺罪名起訴,事實上 CDC 背離純正的科學已久,現在幾乎完全投入在疫苗產業當中。去年 CDC 甚至宣稱大部分的人都應該接種疫苗,包括孕婦。
另外還有一個 CDC 絕對不想讓人知道的事實:即使不接種疫苗,只要增加維生素 D 的攝取量,順其自然面對流感,人體就會自行產生對抗感染的永久抗體。
因此,對抗流感、讓自己免疫的最佳方式就是增加維生素 D 的攝取量、吃營養的食物、投入到大自然裡。即使受到流感的侵襲,只要免疫系統功能正常,而且維生素 D 含量充足,人體就會不知不覺自行產生抗體,而且不會感受到任何症狀。而且由於在戶外接觸的是原生的病毒,不像疫苗一樣是削弱的病株,因此生產出來的抗體將 保持終身免疫。這不就是一開始追求免疫的目的嗎?
某些消費者年復一年地接種疫苗,然後對於仍然無法免於疾病危害感到困惑;殊不知疫苗的作用如果能夠和天然的免疫系統一樣好,一個人一生只要接種一次疫苗就好了。只是這樣一來,疫苗業者就沒什麼利潤了,他們每年都需要民眾接種疫苗才能年復一年的從中獲取利益。

自身免疫系統抵禦流感,並非疫苗

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post

Preventing the flu may not come down to hand sanitizers and risky vaccinations. A new study has found that only half of all individuals affected with the flu virus actually get sick, highlighting the necessity of a powerful immune system that is able to respond to the flu virus appropriately.

The study comes from the University of Michigan, where researchers infected 17 healthy individuals with the flu, about half of which reported actually getting sick as a result. The other half felt completely fine.

The average American touches around 300 different surfaces every 30 minutes, demonstrating that it is virtually impossible to avoid coming in contact with a virus that may invade your body. Instead, a boosted immune system will be able to defend against potentially-harmful viruses that seek to make you ill. You cannot prevent coming in contact with bacteria and viruses, but you can certainly establish a biological defense against them.




Alfred Hero, professor at the University of Michigan College of Engineering and author of the study, explained the immune system connection to MSNBC:
"Many people might conclude that if you are exposed to a virus and you don’t get sick, it’s because the virus didn’t stick or it was so weak, it just passed right through your system and your system didn’t notice. That’s not a correct notion … There is an active immune response which accounts for the resistance of certain people getting sick, and that response is just as active as the response we all know and hate, which is being sick with the sniffles, fever, coughing and sneezing. It’s just that the responses are different."
Obviously a powerful immune system is key, but how can you supercharge your immune response without horrible side effects? Not through receiving the seasonal flu shot, which comes with a host of deadly reactions. Even the preventative properties of the seasonal flu shot have been shown to be extremely exaggerated by vaccine makers. Surprisingly, seasonal flu vaccines have been found to only be 1% effective at preventing the flu, according to a new major study.

“The corresponding figures [of people showing influenza symptoms] for poor vaccine matching were 2% and 1% (RD 1, 95% CI 0% to 3%)” announced the study authors.  In other words, you would have to vaccinate 100 people to reduce the number of people affected by the influenza virus by just one.

The study authors go on to reveal more amazing facts:
  • “Vaccination had…no effect on hospital admissions or complication rates.”
  • “Vaccine use did not affect the number of people hospitalized or working days lost.”
  • “The analysis howed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions…”
  • “There is no evidence that [influenza vaccines] affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission.” — Meaning vaccines do not affect transmission of disease, what they are designed for.
  • “In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms.”
Remember, the seasonal flu vaccine also carries extreme side effects, such as a killer nerve disease that even has public officials worried. So, what is the alternative? The natural alternative is supplementing with vitamin D, which is 8,000% more effective than vaccines at preventing the flu according to numeric figures from research that appears in the March, 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr (March 10, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094).

Vitamin D is an extremely potent immune enhancer, but there are also other ways to power-up your immune system:
  • Exercise: In addition to cutting your chance of getting a cold by 50%, exercise improves the circulation of immune cells in your blood, leaving your body more protected against foreign invaders
  • Avoiding sugar: Sugar generates an unwanted immune response, oftentimes leading to inflammation and undesirable health effects. Consuming sugar during sickness puts even more stress on your body, making it undesirable. Try and keep your sugar intake around or below 14 grams per day.
  • Dealing with stress: Mediation, exercise, and social interaction are all powerful methods of dealing with disease-cultivating stress. High stress levels negatively impact the immune system, making you more susceptible to disease.
Vaccines are not effective tools in the fight against disease, as studies have shown. Hundreds of studies have directly linked inoculations with conditions ranging from cancer to brain swelling. Join the campaign dedicated to educating the public about vaccine dangers, Vaccine Information Week.

流感針革命 改採皮下注射

美聯社華盛頓5日電
September 06, 2011 06:00 AM
流感季又來臨,今年有些幸運民眾在接種流感疫苗時,將會見到不再嚇人的注射針頭。衛生當局並呼籲民眾每年均應接種流感疫苗。
第一種採用「皮下注射」的流感疫苗將在今秋上市,這種超短的注射針頭,可取代傳統「肌肉注射」的一吋長針頭,但現階段新疫苗僅限成年人,兒童使用的劑量尚待當局進行研究。

今年將製造1億6600萬劑流感疫苗。另有兩種接種方式,包括老年人適用的特別高劑量注射,以及噴鼻式疫苗。
衛生當局指出,目前最大問題在於民眾是否會接種疫苗。由於流感病毒株不斷演變,通常每年的疫苗會與前一年不同。今年的疫苗則與去年相同,因為去年冬季讓許多人致病的三種流感病毒株,至今仍在傳染。

民眾在接種疫苗後,免疫能力在一年內的衰退程度,雖然也與年齡和全身的健康有關,但科學家至今尚無定論。不過,聯邦衛生官員和美國小兒科學會(AAP)表示,民眾今年仍應接種疫苗,此舉為確保免疫系統足以提供最佳保護的唯一方法。

聯邦疾病防治中心(CDC)專家麗莎‧葛洛伯斯柯夫(Lisa Grobskopf)表示:「民眾不能依賴去年施打的疫苗提供保護至第二年。」專家指出,除了六個月以下嬰兒或對蛋類有嚴重過敏者之外,事實上每位民眾每年都應接種流感疫苗。
