You know I really can't believe that they recommend the flu shot for pregnant women now. When I was pregnant in the 90's, they told pregnant women to never get one. It was considered dangerous to the unborn. I can even remember when my children were small, they never recommended them either.
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, FLUARIX 236 QUADRIVALENT should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. 237
Safety and effectiveness of FLUARIX QUADRIVALENT in children younger than 3 years of age have not been established.

OK.....very upset here....
My wife and I have a very close friend who is from Iran. She has been in America for almost her whole life. She is in her thirties now. She has a child already and her husband and she decided to get pregnant again.
All the friends and family were very excited because their son wanted a sibling very badly and they are great parents.
Even better, her younger sister decided to try for her first and they both got pregnant about the same time (Within a couple weeks of each other). Her sister "Beth" and husband "John" wanted to have the cousins be about the same age and everyone thought it was the cutest thing.
They were both doing very well in their pregnancies and the doctors said nothing was wrong...no issues....everyone is healthy...etc. But they also did the Flu Shot push while they were at the doctors visits.
My wife printed out info on getting flu shots when pregnant and begged her not to get one but both sisters ended up getting the flu shot anyway.
Within a week of getting these shots....both sisters had miscarriages.
They were both just under three months pregnant.
Our friend is so traumatized by it, that we don't think she will ever try again. Not sure about Beth as she is a little younger and it was her first.

The trouble is, there is no way of knowing what caused the miscarriages and a decent percentage of all pregnancies end that way.
The other REAL problem is, that while the government is saying 'nothing to see here, move along, get your flu shot' no one is taking the very real and careful approach of delaying or withholding mass immunizations until true proof of their safety (AND EFFECTIVENESS!) can be guaranteed. Something is causing the incredible increase in autism, etc., and no one seems to know what it is. When you have hundreds of reports of normal kids who get a battery of shots and within hours or days have high fevers and a sudden deterioration of neurological status, that's highly suspicious at the very least, and the people saying its all in the 'conspiracy theorists' heads also seem to think their opinion trumps common sense, which should be weighted towards being as careful as possible with regards to injecting immune system assaults into our arms.
It's quite obvious from the medical information on this that the real testing is being done on the general public, and the pharmaceutical industries have made quite sure that they cannot be blamed or sued for any side effects or harm caused by the shots.
Ask yourself: Do you REALLY trust THIS GOVERNMENT with your lives? Because they've shown an astonishing amount of lack of concern for you, the air, the water, the food, the education, the media, ... pretty much everything, so far. And when they DO show some concern, it usually pans out to be some place where profit can be maximized and so can spending the public's money to enrich the few, who are always, ALWAYS, deemed too big to fail or jail.
Pardon?

I worked in paediatrics for more years than I care to remember and not once did I see any child have a serious adverse reaction to a vaccine nor did I ever hear of a baby being miscarried after the mother had a flu vaccine (being a major paediatric hospital we had very close links with the main maternity hospital and I worked quite often in the neonatal intensive care unit there).
Not once.
But here you are with a known distrust of vaccines and pharma (from your previous posts in other threads) and you have not one but two "close friends" who both have miscarriages after having the shot.
I have to say that I don't believe you for one instant and in the current climate, an incident like this would undoubtedly have made it to the news.
If you've made this up or copied and pasted it from one of the more vitriolic anti-vax sites then you are a very sick man indeed.

I die a little whenever i hear people saying look! we have more diseases thanks to vaccine.
No, the disease are the same.
Before things like OCD, ADD, ADHD, autism, and other mental disorders and mentally retarded conditions(this is a scientific word PC people) were categorized as "Mental Illness", now we have the technologies to differentiate them and treat them separately, which for some people, seem like we have many diseases.
Before those were called "Mental Illnesses" it used to be called demon possession or touched by the devil, how far have we come huh?

I had a miscarriage with no flu shot and a year later got pregnant again and did have a flu shot and now have a six month old baby. I did have terrible stomach ache and couldn't eat for two days after the jab though and it wasn't on the list of side effects.

Thank you for your kind words....
where do you think my distrust of big pharma came from?
you worked in pediatrics and never...not once saw any bad reaction to a shot?......that is.....well .... that is nothing short of amazing.
Edit: And why do you care to not remember it.....you don't want to remember helping little kids?

I don't really care where your distrust of pharma came from.
I don't believe it was this incident which did it though as I don't believe this incident actually happened.
Nope, definitely in the realm of fiction.
Severe adverse reactions to vaccines are extremely rare indeed and that's the reason I've never seen any, nothing amazing about it at all. They very rarely happen and when they do they tend to make the news.
As for my writing "for more years than I care to remember"; that's a saying.
It means for a long time.
But you knew that didn't you?

I'm not very fond of this societal trend of demonizing vaccinations.
Stories like these contribute to the anti-vaccination agenda, which on the fringes is showing results in the resurgence of preventable diseases.
Not vaccinating, in general, causes more harm than vaccinating.
Since these two women were related, these incidents could very well be the results of something else environmental and/or genetic.
A doctor can tell you you're completely healthy and fine where you drop dead of a heart attack, embolism, have a stroke, or something else quite serious the very next day.
