It seems like there's always some health scare about some disease that is about to wipe us all out. I have not known anybody personally that has died of any of the highly publicized diseases such as AIDS/HIV, mad cow, bird flu or whatever. It would appear that all of us on this board have lived through all of these scares so far.

Steve, you know those parts of the planet - is she known for these claims?

or is she a known nutter?

I have to admit, given the last minute adjustment to the vaccine for expectant mums and children, and the doubt about taking it in the first place and recently Spains authorities saying things like "No, no, nothing to worry about, just being over cautious really"...... I'm seriously questioning A) the benefit of this jab and B) the implications long term.

It would be very usefull to know if her claims re-change in law in USA from the 70's is correct and now people get nothing in conpensation if things go wrong.
I had to switch off before I got to the end of the clip - I think the answer is yes, she's a nutter . It does say she's EX minister of health, possibly due to her own mental health.
HOWEVER - I do have lots of questions myself about mobile phones and the antennas/ arials they need, I am sure they DO cause illnesses.
I am also sure that genetically modified seeds and foods that contain them will do more harm than good.
And I'm sure that the power wielded by pharmacuetical companies has a lot to do with the government recommendations on vaccines for swine flu. Give me Propolis any time!

I don't think anybody's trying to reduce the world's population - where's the money in that ? You need people to buy the mobile phones, paella made with gentically modified rice, and the latest wonder drug for the latest pandemia!!

And yes Warren D,
It would appear that all of us on this board have lived through all of these scares so far.
Otherwise we'd a have a little difficulty writing on the Forum!!

So, nutter aside it's jabs all round then?

By the way, reference "all of us on this board" - don't want to worry you but go back a couple of years on the posts and see if that still rings true I think you'll find we have a higher turn over of people than Real Madrid managers.... and that's high

I'm sure they're all safe and sound having found a life now

Xose
P.S. Was HIV/AIDS one of those scare tactics then. Bloody hell, you can't trust anything the beeb tells you can you?
