I’ve for the most part been a good patient. My births we’re unmedicated and followed normal birth, no heparin locks, pit after, maybe 20min of monitoring, but I did have exams and pushed supine. If shots were recommended for my kids I followed the recommended guidelines. Why question the doctor who only has your best interest at heart? Shots weren’t recommended for pregnant women or at least me from 1997-2008. Maybe they just felt I was the crunchy, granola mom and why ask, or my best interest was at heart. Since living in Virginia, being a California girl, I started running into all these moms not vaccinating, talking about some Dr Sears vaccine book, all kinds of crazy talk. If you hang around with enough of them, you begin to listen, you begin to take note, and they may start to make sense. It has recently come to my attention what is being put into flu shots. Thimerosal, which is another name for mercury; I would not have known that reading the label and not researching. Formaldehyde, we all know that’s for embalming dead people and “Formaldehyde - (Embalming Fluid) Formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). Research studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have suggested an association between formaldehyde exposure and cancers of the nasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and brain, and possibly leukemia.” Triton X-100, which its old name Octoxynol-9, AKA spermicide, which lost its FDA approval after not submitting paperwork regarding new studies. I found it curious that the FDA stated in their docket that the product could not be renamed or repackaged for other uses and yet here we are. Triton X-100 is also labeled “Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe eye irritation. May be harmful if inhaled or in contact with skin. [I wonder what that looks like under the skin] Toxicology not fully investigated. The product may contain traces of ethylene oxide or dioxane, which are probable human carcinogens.” “USAGE: For Research Use Only! Not For Use in Humans” Those getting the flu shot are also consenting to being a research, test subject; specially our healthcare workers and military. I will note that places like Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. that use big vials have the Thimerosal and private practices tend not to since they are individually packaged to be used ASAP, but that doctors may put the pressure on the patient to get the flu shot so they aren’t wasting their income on preservative-free vaccines, which cost more. Preservative-free still contains formaldehyde and Triton X-100. I questioned how a flu shot with Triton X-100 would look like with fertility. I found the FDA 2012 had this to say about Fluzone or FLUVIRIN® a preservative-free flu shot: “8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Fluzone or FLUVIRIN®. [So let’s experiment on society] It is also not known whether Fluzone or FLUVIRIN® can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Fluzone, or FLUVIRIN® should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. 8.3 Nursing Mothers It is not known whether Fluzone or FLUVIRIN® is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Fluzone or FLUVIRIN® is administered to a nursing woman. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Fluzone or FLUVIRIN® has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.” Most of the flu vaccines said it’s not indicated for children less than 6 months, 4 years, 5 years, and 6 years. VAXIGRIP is a vaccine used to help prevent influenza (‘flu’) Their package insert says: “3. Pregnant women Influenza vaccination is recommended for any pregnant women who are beyond the first trimester of pregnancy i.e. those who will be in the second or third trimester of pregnancy during the influenza season. Influenza vaccination is funded by the government for those pregnant women with a medical condition listed above. (Heart disease, Lung disease - asthma that require regular preventative therapy; other chronic lung disease with impaired lung function, Diabetes, Kidney disorder, Cancer, Other conditions – diseases that require treatment with medicines that reduce natural immunity, HIV, children on long-term aspirin therapy) VAXIGRIP have been prepared on eggs and are made from inactivated parts of thefollowing Influenza virus strains: A/California/7/2009 NYMC X-179A (A/California/7/2009 [H1N1] – like), A/Victoria/210/2009 NYMC X-187 (A/Perth/16/2009 [H3N2] – like), B/Brisbane/60/2008 (B/Brisbane/60/2008 – like) [Flu vaccines are being made from viruses from 3 and 4 years ago from states and countries you may not even be a part of. VAXIGRIP isn’t the only one doing this either] Other Ingredients: Buffered saline solution composed of: - Sodium chloride - Potassium chloride - Sodium phosphate – dibasic dihydrate - Potassium phosphate – monobasic - Water for injection VAXIGRIP may also contain traces of egg proteins, formaldehyde, octoxinol-9 and Neomycin [multi-dose vials contain Thimerosal] VAXIGRIP do not contain lactose, gluten, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.” Triton X-100 is said to be a mild to heavy duty cleaning solvent, via wikipedia, which I know some of you frown on Wiki’s use, so go to the bottom links of wiki and do some more research on that. My mind questions how this would look with fertility. Later in the week I was given an answer on what the flu shot looks like on gestation, but not an answer to Triton X-100 use or purpose in the flu shot. “National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) states that between 2009 and 2010 the mercury-laden combined flu vaccinations have increased Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting Systems (VAERS) fetal death reports by 4,250 percent in pregnant women. Eileen Dannemann, NCOW’s director, made abundantly clear that despite these figures being known to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the multiple-strain, inactivated flu vaccine containing mercury (Thimerosal) has once again been recommended to pregnant women as a safe vaccination this season.”I have many words, but none appropriate to this outrage. My mind travels through many conspiracy theories about our government’s hands in this. It’s just plain heartbreaking. I wrote with a woman today whose Dr told her it didn’t matter where she got her flu shot, “It’s all the same.” I’m not trying to dictate your family’s choices. You should definitely do what is best for your health and your family’s. PLEASE BE A GOOD CONSUMER AND RESEARCH BEFORE YOU USE PRODUCTS. The FDA is constantly saying, "Oops!" recalling and not even regulating recalls, eg cytotec, which is contraindicated for labor and a known cause for maternal and fetal death is still permitted to be used, though the FDA says, "No." but no one is regulating, fining, imprisoning, etc. I will leave you with knowledge and a thought that AAFP, American Academy of Family Physicians took a vote, 14-0, that every pregnant woman, for every pregnancy, no matter her inoculation history, be given Tdap in her second or third trimester. I will look forward to hearing your info gathering on that recommendation. Fastapo blog has an interesting take on the flu vaccine. It’s the last link I’m giving you, today. http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/cmi/v/vaxigrip.pdf http://www.vaclib.org/basic/fluindex.htm http://www.fraserhealth.ca/media/Influenza_Vaxigrip.pdf http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/98fr/050902b.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octoxynol-9 http://www.vaclib.org/basic/fluindex.htm http://www.biovision.com/triton-x-100-solution-10-in-h-o-419.html http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM305089.pdf http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM123694.pdf http://fastapo.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/package-insert-afluria-july2011.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_X-100 http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/cmi/v/vaxigrip.pdf http://www.fraserhealth.ca/media/Influenza_Vaxigrip.pdf https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=508146829210562&set=a.205304229494825.50357.121541814537734&&theater http://healthimpactnews.com/2012/4250-increase-in-fetal-deaths-reported-to-vaers-after-flu-shot-given-to-pregnant-women/ http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/news/news-now/health-of-the-public/20121108acipreqs.html http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm http://fastapo.wordpress.com/tag/fluzone/ (Updated arch 2, 2017)
