Vaccine / Health Care Scam Exposed.

It's not that science has taught us to question everything - that's philosophy.

Science teaches us to ask the right questions at the right times. While the latter part I would agree with, I should also point out that most physicians generally encourage people to talk to their doctors, mostly about medical history, and to see if certain vaccines are safe for them, or if other options are viable.

Hence my previous post, although wording it differently might give a new perspective: A little bit of research goes a long way. Just not always the right way. Knowing what questions to ask, and knowing where to find the answers are two things that should never be given up for personal views.

Science very much depends on the integrity of the scientific community to not be a bunch of dbags with agendas.

Scientists who believed they had started to decipher links between a GlaxoSmithKline H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine and the sleep disorder narcolepsy have retracted a study after saying they cannot replicate their findings.

The paper, originally published in the journal Science Translational Medicine in December 2013, suggested narcolepsy can sometimes be triggered by a scientific phenomenon known as "molecular mimicry," offering a possible explanation for its link to GSK's "swine flu" vaccine, Pandemrix.

The results appeared to show that the debilitating disorder, characterized by sudden sleepiness and muscle weakness, could be set off by an immune response to a portion of a protein from the H1N1 flu virus that is very similar to a region of a protein called hypocretin, which is key to narcolepsy.

But in a statement issued last week, the journal said the researchers, led by Emmanuel Mignot, a professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University, had asked that the paper be retracted "because they were unable to replicate some of the results reported in the paper".

GSK, which has been funding Mignot's research into links between the vaccine and narcolepsy, said in a statement it believed "the original scientific hypothesis remains a valid one that needs to be further explored".

"We will continue to support Professor Mignot and his colleagues with their continued research in this area and hope these ongoing efforts will enable us to provide more answers," the British drugmaker said.

Previous studies in countries where GSK's Pandemrix vaccine was used in the 2009/2010 flu pandemic - including in Britain, Finland, Sweden and Ireland - found its use was linked to a significant rise in cases of narcolepsy in children.

Narcolepsy is thought to be brought about by loss of function in "wakefulness" cells called hypocretin cells in one of the brain's sleep centers.

How do other countries handle vaccines? USA media is so full of hype about vaccines being good or bad. It could be insightful to hear the findings of a second opinion that is untainted by a hyped up fear mongering sensationalized media that is owned by the same people that own the pharmacies. (If such a thing even exist)

If I want a smug person to tell me what to do/think I'll get married. Sorta like being a Scientist.

Thanks to trusting a doctor and going against any research she did on the internet over diabetic medications, my mom had to undergo multiple operations due to her blood becoming septic after taking this medication for a month.

That's the end of the article (I posted the whole thing). I already fully agree with their conclusion.

Who wants to inform Chaos that his own link contains evidence on the efficacy of flu shots? I guess I will.

Chaos, your own link contains evidence on the efficacy of flu shots. Try reading to the end sometime.

We still use Newton's forumlas because they work but they weren't the entire picture.

Here comes the smugness about how we are wrong.

I want to replicate myself

Right. I missed the part where they concluded the flu shot was ineffective or didn't fit the current vaccination model.

Ok, so we're now on the big finale of "scientists don't really know anything".

Obligatory.

Marry better people. :p

You show me someone worth marrying I'd like to live in that utopia.

Here comes the smugness about how we are wrong.

A real scientist has enough confidence in their work to stand behind it, but will seek out other methods for confirming, and refuting the methods used, in the interest of seeking a better method or result.

Call yourself A Sexual, and claim you want to marry yourself.

That was fast, lol.
