Vancouver, Canada Here's is a bit of research the public certainly won't be hearing about anytime soon.
In four separate studies across Canada, experts assessed whether individuals who received the traditional season flu vaccination during the 2008-09 flu season were afforded more protection against becoming infected with the
H1N1 "Swine" flu virus during the spring and summer of 2009 when compared to those who didn'treceive that seasonal flu shot.
They discovered that seasonal flu vaccine was linked with a 68 percent
INCREASED risk of developing swine flu. In simple terms, they found that taking the traditional seasonal flu vaccinations made individuals more susceptible to the swine flu virus in 2009.
The government agencies, medical organizations, and drug companies weren't too excited to see this information being published and have already started a campaing to question the validity of the research- saying it doesn't establish a "direct link" between seasonal flu vaccination and subsequent
swine flu illness. They may have a little difficulty dismissing the data, however ,because these studies involved the combined work of more than 40 Canada's top influenza researchers. ( ploS med 7(4): e1000258)
