COMMENT by Barbara Loe Fischer
Something unusual has happened. Doctors started asking questions and privately some of them told their patients not to bother getting the H1N1 vaccine.
And the people, who were still being told by health officials to be very, very afraid, started to do their own research using the great new Library of the World, the internet.
People started asking more questions of their government health officials – not just in America – but in Great Britain and the Netherlands, in Germany and Italy, in Poland and in Canada and many other countries.
I am reminded of a famous quote from Abraham Lincoln: You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
I would urge those of you who want to get seasonal or H1N1 vaccines, to go to the homepage of the website of the National Vaccine Information Center at www.NVIC.org and look at the new Vaccine Ingredient Calculator, which will tell you how much mercury is in those vaccines.
