Finland vows care for narcolepsy kids who had swine flu shot

The Finnish government and major insurance companies announced Wednesday they will pay for lifetime medical care for children diagnosed with narcolepsy after receiving the swine flu vaccine.

"The compensation will provide much-needed financial assistance for the families, although it cannot take away the emotional distress caused by this condition," Social Services and Health Minister Paula Risikko said in a statement.

Finnish and international researchers recently found a conclusive link between the Pandemrix swine flu vaccine and new cases of narcolepsy, a chronic nervous system disorder which causes people to often uncontrollably fall asleep.

The Finnish Pharmaceutical Insurance Pool (LVP), which represents insurance companies, said Wednesday it would honour all insurance claims in this category.

LVP said it would review each claim individually to calculate the scope of the payout.

The Finnish government meanwhile agreed to cover any medical costs exceeding the insurance claims.

In Finland, 79 children between the ages of four and 19 developed narcolepsy after receiving the Pandemrix vaccine in 2009 and 2010.

Of these cases, an unusually high number, 76, also suffered from bouts of cataplexy, suffering hallucinations or paralysing physical collapses, according to Finnish research.

And this is exactly why I will NOT get vaccinations for anything, including the yearly flu shot.

Here is what I'd ask an expert if I had the chance.

With regard to these 76 Finnish cases, what percentage is that of total Swine Flu vaccines given?

Do some vaccines have a history of creating more, and more severe side effects than other vaccines? What are these vaccines that are riskier?

What vaccines can we safety say have eliminated the risks they are administered for?

Swine flu vax was the one that killed people back in the 60's.

I won't take any vaccines anymore, my dh and dogs are the same. NO WAY. I have an immune system designed by my maker, God and I trust in his design more than some pharma companies need to make more money by devising vaccines for every ill that befalls mankind.

Finland in a very small country. Most of it is not even populated. Going to go look for those number for comparison on the number of children affected.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Finland

5.4 million total. I also read that the total population is lower in children like a lot of the US. Many woman are childless.

Would love to research this more, but I am heading for the bed. Long day here.
