Yes, I have a BS in nursing, and have done some graduate work. Yes, I know the spray is live virus. I think I have indicated so elsewhere in this thread.

I have a BS in Chemistry, and have done graduate work as well. If you know the spray is live virus, why do you insist it is safe?

Well, she said they weakened it.

She just didn't say it was weakened with the ebola virus.

Because the virus has been greatly weakened, so that it will not cause disease in healthy people. There is a screening process, e.g. ages 2-49, no episodes of wheezing from ashtma within a year, not immunocompromised, etc. It is a great alternative to the shot for people who are afraid of shots, e.g. most kids.

Yeah, it's like the polio sugar cubes that only infected 5% of the takers.

Oh, gimme a break! Show me a link for that! VAPP is a very rare occurrence.

You are incorrect:

'However,since these treatments are the actual live flu virus there are also instances in which the recipients themselves get sick and also transmit the virus to others.

The transmission rate is estimated to be 1-2.4%.

The initial five target groups for preemptive vaccination against the novel H1N1 Swine flu comprises 159 million people alone in the United States.

A 2% infection rate on half of this group is over 1.5 million people.

Now figure in how many people who come into contact with those inadvertently infected people.

So in essence the prevention procedures for the novel H1N1 Swine Flu virus could actually contribute to the development and spread of the flu virus nationally and internationally.'
