177 victims - and there are new cases all the time
Aftonbladet's medical reporter Mary M?rtensson.
The vaccine was not safe.
Today we know that 177 people suffering from narcolepsy - caused by the vaccine Pandemrix against swine flu.
Nearly all children and adolescents.
They are paying the price for life with his ruined health.
When the vaccination campaign against swine flu began in the fall of 2009 promised the authorities
In principle, a vaccine without severe and chronic side effects. The possible side effects that could occur were categorized generally as mild and transient.
What side effects danger of the children of Pandemrix? When Aftonbladet asked the 9th of October 2009 to state epidemiologist Annika Linde for Disease Control, she replied: "Same as adults."
She mentioned the common side effects include: redness and swelling at the injection site, swollen glands in the armpit, fever and headache.
Concerned parents were reassured by the observation that most of the elements of the Pandemrix found in regular flu vaccines were tested on children in the past. And that there was no evidence that the vaccine would be harmful to children.
The same answer gave all the responsible authorities - MPA, National Board of Health and Disease Control.
It was only when the alarming number of narcolepsy cases had been reported that the MPA began to smell a rat and decided to vacuum the whole of Sweden on all new narcolepsy cases. Then came the trial of the shocking truth.
The Pandemrix could harm children and adolescents.
Today we know that Pandemrix increases the risk of sleeping sickness narcolepsy with seven times in children and young people - compared to the unvaccinated.
Then it was too late. The damage was already done.
Now is not recommended Pandemrix to children.
But to this day - 2.5 years later - drops new reports of narcolepsy in the MPA.
When does it end?
