The swine flu vaccine has been hit by new cancer fears after a German health expert gave a shocking warning about its safety.
Lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has said that there are many risks associated with the vaccine for the H1N1 virus. The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals, and some fear that the risk of cancer could be increased by injecting the cells.
The vaccine can also cause worse side effects than the actual swine flu virus.




Thanks for the breath of fresh air; being on the front lines daily with patients speaks volumes for the need of an army of primary care docs in all sectors- public, private from all walks of life. There is a critical shortage.
We also need to focus on health- and prevention of illness- if we are ever going to be able to keep the U.S Health Care Titanic from sinking.
This shift will take every one of us outside our comfort zones but will be the life preserver that this health care system needs.
All the fancy technology will mean nothing when Medicare costs deplete our Social Security reserves and truly bankrupt our nation.
I'm all for technology, efficiency and sound electronic records, but this is all "icing on the cake"; let's regroup and get back to basics. Primary care needs to play a crucial role in this process of integrating wellness, prevention and early intervention.
Thanks for listening.
