ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — An advisory panel is recommending a major step up in protection for health workers dealing with patients suspected or confirmed to have H1N1 influenza.

One expert says that based on cur”

(Ed. Note: N95 are cheaper than N100 masks, but they don’t work as well. An N95 will filter out 95%, while the N100 will filter out 99.99%. If you’re trying prevent from breathing in a virulent bug, which would you rather be using? Also, the masks with filters will provide protection much longer than those without valves.)

Risks of the Swine Flu Vaccine

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

“There can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan,” explained Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health activist, author and strong critic of the swine flu immunization program. He proceeds to provide evidence justifying his concerns.

The adjuvant Mercola is referring to is based on an oil known as squalene. It is used to reduce the amount of viral antigen required in vaccines, which allows companies to produce more vaccines for less money at a faster rate.

But according to countless medical professionals and experts, using it in immunizations is a bad idea. It is also going to be somewhat experimental. There isn’t a single vaccine containing squalene that is approved for use in America, according to Meryl Nass, M.D., who notes that Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline will make use of it as a “novel feature of the H1N1 vaccines.”
