Swine flu 2009 Narcolepsy Pandemrix
UK government admits swine flu vaccine causes brain damage, awards compensation to 60 families

(NaturalNews) As advocates for mandatory vaccination spread
propaganda across the United States, the British government is dealing with the
fallout of a faulty swine flu vaccine that has caused numerous cases of brain
damage in children.
As reported by the International Business Times, the UK government is
financially compensating at least 60 families in a multi-million-pound
settlement that is likely to grow as more patients suffer physical harm from the
vaccine.
"The government is expected to receive a bill of approximately £60 million
[$90.1 million], with each of the 60 victims expected to receive about £1
million [$1.5 million] each," IBT reported.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, attorney Peter Todd, who is
representing a number of victims, said, "There has never been a case like this
before. The victims of this vaccine have an incurable and lifelong condition and
will require extensive medication."
Following an outbreak of swine flu in 2009, some 60 million people received
vaccines, most of them children. Health officials investigating the subsequent
illnesses found that the vaccine, Pandemrix, can cause narcolepsy and cataplexy
in about one in 16,000 people; many more are likely to come forward with
symptoms, IBT reported.

80 percent of victims are children
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder that causes overwhelming daytime
drowsiness; sometimes people with the condition can appear to fall asleep
instantly.
"Narcolepsy affects a person's sleeping cycle, leaving them unable to sleep for
more than 90 minutes at a time, and causing them to fall unconscious during the
day," IBT reported. "The condition damages mental function and memory, and can
lead to hallucinations and mental illness."
Cataplexy, meanwhile, "is an abrupt temporary loss of voluntary muscular
function and tone, evoked by an emotional stimulus such as laughter, pleasure,
anger, or excitement," according to this
definition from the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation. "The
stimulation leads to a very rapid loss of voluntary muscle control - often the
person will immediately collapse as a result. The collapse occurs because the
person can no longer control their leg muscles to remain standing."
The person regains control of muscle tone, slowly, when the stimulation eases.
As further reported by IBT, all across Europe more than 800 children thus far
are known to have been sickened by the vaccine.
Pandemrix was manufactured by Big Pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline;
incredibly, the company refused to provide the vaccine to governments until they
agreed to indemnify GSK against any damage claims. As for the vaccine injuries
caused by Pandemix, GSK will pay the initial claims but then bill the UK
government for whatever the vaccine maker
pays out.
"There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Pandemrix increased the occurrence
of narcolepsy onset in children in some countries - and probably in most
countries," Emmanuelle Mignot, a specialist in sleep disorder at Stanford
University in the United States told Reuters, according to IBT. Mignot was hired
by GSK to study the effects of Pandemrix.
Vaccine maker refuses to acknowledge there is a problem
But the injections have not just sickened children; it has also caused problems
among Britain's National Health Service staff, leaving many unable to perform
their jobs because of symptoms brought on by the vaccine. IBT reported that
these employees will be suing the UK government to
recover their lost wages.
Still, the vast majority of patients sickened by the vaccine are children --
around 80 percent.
One child injured by the vaccine is Josh Hadfield, an 8-year-old boy from
Somerset. His parents say he is now on anti-narcolepsy drugs that cost £15,000
(more than $22,500) a year, just to help him remain awake during his school day.
"If you make him laugh, he collapses. His memory is shot. There is no cure. He
says he wishes he hadn't been born. I feel incredibly guilty about letting him
have the vaccine," his mother, Caroline Hadfield, 43, told IBT.
Again, incredibly, the vaccine was given despite a warning from the European
Medicines Agency in 2011, in which officials advised it not be used on anyone
under 20 years old. The agency cited a study in which researchers found a
13-fold increase in the risk of narcolepsy in children vaccinated with the drug.
Despite that, GSK has steadfastly refused to acknowledge the link.
