Where's the proof?

I am not a fan of the vaccine for the swine flu. I have read a good deal and I am not comfortable getting it for myself or my family. There is one thing though that I keep running across. The theory that the government or some other group made the virus. I hear or should I say read that there is proof of this yet H ave seen no proof or even anything more then people saying there is proof. I do not have an opinion of yet on the subject but would like to know where to read the so called proof.

Personaly, I need no proof while is long time I cease trusting anything any world govt say, starting with the one in my country up to the Bangladesh one ... Politicians and so called "upper class" always following different interest than the one about people of their countries .. HIV, H1N1 and some more are more likely to be on purpose made in special labs in order to offer leverage tools to control others ..

Exactly. And do not forget Monsanto .. And Gulf war real reasons .. and so on. And is not about any conspiration theory, all is - like you said - about follow the money route - where they reach. Wars, global diseases, global warming, world wide or local threatening (like terrorists or mafia) .. all makes profits for somebody ..

We have been getting vaccines for many years now. We have to be able to trust. Many professionals are getting the vaccine. I would go online and search for the information you seek. A department of the government does make or oversee making the vaccine i would think. Not sure.

Celticeagle, I would suggest trusting OURSELVES to make good decisions, rather than a government who has shown they do not have our best interests at heart. Just a thought.

May I ask why you would assume they are doing the tests? Please stop and think about it. This epidemic only started in the last year, less really. If given to a pregnant woman when the vaccine came out there hasn't even been enough time to see if there are harmful side effects to the use of this vaccine. There just hasn't even been enough time to run the tests.

Ever hear of 'acceptable risk'? We are their 'tests'...and if some die, oh well! I've read much on the FDA and the AMA....you'd be real surprised at the attitude of the higher ups who are supposed to be looking out for you. That's why YOU need to make YOURSELF aware of the risks and not take someone's word for it. I know not everyone can be medically knowledgable...but there ARE places to find out what you need to know. And they are NOT at the government websites. If you're going to trust anyone with something as precious as your health...you need to trust those who don't have their hand in the till...looking to make millions, like the beaurocrats at the FDA, who own stock in the pharmacuetical companies!

You are not the only one. Most people are not comfortable taking the swine flu vaccine. Here in Greece almost none will take it even though the number of people infected was big. I'd rather be cautious than take the vaccine.

Well, like I said there is going to be a story on the lab whee the vaccine was made on Sundays 60 Minutes. Hope you watch it. I know I will. I will have to see what else I can find on this as well.

For anyone to say that the Government "made" the virus is totally wrong and stupid. It is a virus that has probably been around before and As far as I am aware there have not been any deaths of people who have not had some other health problems anyway.

I myself have decided to not get the shot for myself or my family. I have read they did not research it to well. And also I received a e-mail from a RN the other day that said this 14 year old boy had gotten the shot and now he is paralized.

Try searching some medical literature (pubed) for swine flu vaccine efficacy. Plenty of proof right there...

There has been additional information posted by more trust worthy groups since this was posted (it has been two years or so..lol) yet from what I see no concrete anything like so much of the medicines these days.
