It is not new information that the H1N1 "swine flu" may increase the risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome. Unproven vaccines have caused this syndrome in the past as the 1976 swine flu vaccine did to many people here in the United States as was reported by a notable medical journal and international newspaper. The mainstream media outlets are now starting to pick up on the story that this experimental H1N1 vaccine may cause a neurological disorder.

American officials rushed out a vaccine in 1976 following an outbreak of swine flu in military barracks. Around 40million people received the vaccine but doctors reported an increase Guillain-Barre and 25 people had died before the immunisation programme was stopped.
It is not known for sure whether the vaccine or the flu was responsible and the current H1N1 swine flu jabs due to be introduced in Britain in October are very different to the version used thirty years ago, Government scientists have said.
However specialist doctors here are being urged to report every case of Guillain-Barre syndrome to the Health Protection Agency so the circumstances of each patient can be investigated.
