Milford Board Of Health H1N1 Clinics Offered To The Public

The photo attached to this blog is the insert that accompanies the Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccine. When a person enters a flu clinic rarely is the insert shown to the person receiving the shot.

The insert is displayed here, so you may read it. (Although the photo insert is of the most common type of vaccine, it may not specifically be the one you are receiving and you should therefore request the Insert at the medical establishment dispensing the inoculation.)

By double clicking the insert the scan of it will go full screen, and you will be able to read it. Some notable points have been highlighted for you above. The most obvious is that you are injecting the H1N1 virus, as well as two other additional flu viruses in your body.

Another point of concern is the ingredient called Thimerisol, a mercury based preservative that is also going into your blood stream. While I do not need to get into the neurotoxic effects of mercury I will point out that some discrepancies regarding mercury are being put out by the Milford Health Department including THIS article regarding the Mercury FLURBS. For those who may not know exactly how little mercury is contained in a Flurb it is so small you could call it invisible.

Some questions you should ask is why the Milford health department is telling the public it is O.K. to inject our families with a product that is listed as a household Hazardous waste on their website?

One other interesting point about this H1N1 vaccine issue, is the suggested use of another immune stimulating additive called Squalene. Should our community decide to use this controversial additive in addition to the live viruses, and hazardous waste, we could expect a rise in immune system diseases and an malfunctions.

Specifically, the warning section points to Guillain-Barre syndrome a serious disorder that occurs when the body's defense (immune) system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system. This leads to nerve inflammation that causes muscle weakness, which continues to get worse.

These were also the words of a world renowned Doctor, Reta Lebo whose husband is a Major General in the U.S. Army and had a practice that catered to many heads of state. In no way am I to suggest that fighting off a pandemic should not be done, but I am suggesting that the public educate itself as to the adverse health risks of the medical industry who is more concerned about next quarters profits, than the long term effects of their additives.

Options are available, safe vaccines do exist, they are often more expensive because they lack the mercury, but they must be requested by your family doctor. To all of you who are thinking about caving into the FEAR MONGERING by Dr. McBride and the Milford Health Department, should take a look out the window and notice there is no need for alarm. Few are erroneously concerned, and the current (H1N1) virus is way past its latency period. The level Six CDC and WHO alarm was sounded over five months ago and no one I know of in Milford is mortally sick.

Milford Parents Mixed On Swine Flu Vaccine

Fear of pandemic has certainly got people all "riled up" here in town. Not so much you or me, the person living at home or working a small business, but for those people who have kids the health department and the local Center For Disease Control is circulating warnings that insist children, teachers, medical professionals and high risk people get immediately vaccinated.

Listening to the radio & T.V. I learned that Massachusetts was considering a bill that would allow for forced vaccinations, and quarantines of persons who refuse to be inoculated.

To cut through the confusion and get the facts clear, there are some things that the public needs to know about fear of a Steven King style "Outbreak" like in the movie "The Stand." I have taken the time to outline them for you below:

Point One: The Government will not break into your home with a Swat Team and forcibly inoculate you and your children.

Point Two: Being Inoculated out of "Fear" is good for the bottom line profits of the pharmaceutical industry, bad for you.

Point Three: There is no "Bubonic Style" plague at the moment where people are "bringing out their dead."

Point Four: The vaccine they inject you with actually does contain the live H1N1 virus, it also contains toxic squaline, aluminum and mercury laced thimerosol.

Point Five: Most doctors will not give the vaccine to their own loved ones.

Point Six: You can sue your employer or school district if they "threaten to fire you" or expel your child for refusing to get "forcibly vaccinated."

Point Seven: Schools are not permitted to vaccinate your child without your permission.

Point Eight: The regular "seasonal flu" has killed more people than the "swine flu."

Point Nine: Vaccines can have negative adverse serious health effects on some people.

Point Ten: There is no guarantee that the Swine Flu Vaccine will even protect you from an "outbreak" so please do not be motivated by fear.

Lastly some mega corporation has produced 250 Million doses of this "swine flu vaccine" and if they do not sell it soon it will expire rendering their billions in profits as a "bottom line loss."

Anyone who understands corporate greed will remember what our own Bayer Aspirin did with its "factor 8" vaccine see the video below. Keep in mind that this is just one of many instances where our Corporate Government uses a "Climate of Fear" to manipulate our leaders into selling their "Solutions." Be very careful before agreeing to have a "needle stuck in your arm."



This was one other scandal readily ignored.



As a final note I am not discrediting legitimate science, but rather alluding to the fact that their is plenty of reason to ask questions and to be certain you are informed on the facts as I have heard them.

Since I am not a doctor, or medical professional it is also best to consult your family physician and ask their opinion and that of others as well, so you know that in the event of a real emergency you will do what is best for yourself and you family.

Dennis McBride MD, Milford Health Director Comments on Swine Flu

Until a vaccine of novel H1N1 influenza (H1N1) is made, public health can only try to slow down but not eliminate the spread of the virus. While most people can tolerate H1N1, many with preexisting medical conditions (e.g. asthma, diabetes, etc.)cannot. To those people, H1N1 is not a “mild” flu.

Since the majority of H1N1 cases have occurred in persons under 18 years, schools are the focus of social distancing strategies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website (www.cdc.gov) is a wealth of information. However, in the beginning of the H1N1 outbreak , CDC issued “Interim Guidance on School Closures” that was perplexing. Most state health departments, including Connecticut, follow CDC guidelines. (Note: NYC Department of Health stated that some actions they took in response to H1N1 were not following the CDC school closure guidelines.)

CDC stated that: “K-12 Schools: School dismissal is not advised for a suspected or confirmed case of novel influenza A (H1N1) and, in general, is not advised unless there is a magnitude of faculty or student absenteeism that interferes with the school’s ability to function.” Yet in other guidance CDC endorses school closure during a pandemic. Public health literature is replete with school closures as strategies to quell an influenza pandemic.

On the other hand, many advocate for school closure during this H1N1 pandemic. I pose a road less travelled—partial school closure. In the face of an outbreak of influenza-like-illness (ILI) at Foran High School, I elected not to close the school but to work with Dr. Harvey Polansky, Superintendent of Schools, to devise a plan to reduce the spread of ILI and yet continue essential education work. If we had been presented with an extremely virulent virus, such as a virus that caused the 1918Influenza pandemic, I would have closed the school. We were not in that situation. The decision to use partial closure of the high school was made to minimize risk of ILI transmission.

It is commonly accepted by public health and medical authorities that, for the most part, influenza transmission relies on close contact (less than 6ft)with symptomatic persons and length of time spent in with that person. The more close contacts a person has with symptomatic persons (through coughing, sneezing, or talking) and the longer the time spent with that person, the greater the risk of contracting the disease.

Dr. Polansky proposed 1/2 day of classes and no lunch in the cafeteria. The proposal met the public health criteria to decrease the time of the students exposure to a potentially infected student and the number of personal contacts that each student would have.

In public health and medicine, sometimes decisions have to be made before all of the data are in. The scientific literature on partial school closure for flu outbreaks is lacking, but “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” Using modeling research data from Glass’ 2008 study “Social contact networks for the spread of pandemic influenza in children and teenagers,” we have determined that contact hours can be reduced significantly with a partial closure schedule. With the two measures (decreasing class time and eliminating cafeteria lunches), we estimate a decrease in student contact exposure hours of about 40%.

In addition, school staff and teachers are on full alert to refer symptomatic students to the school nurse. The school building was cleaned and sanitized using CDC guidelines for H1N1.

After the partial closure was implemented, some positive things happened:

1. Those students that were ill with ILI stayed home.

2. The number of students presenting to the nurses with ILI symptoms decreased to
less than 3 per day.

3. School custodians report increased use of hand soaps and students report using
more hand sanitizers.

4. The absenteeism rose on the first day (by worried parents and sick students) but dropped significantly on the second day to moderately above absenteeism rates for this time of year.

5. School nurses contacted families of students known to have serious underlying
medical conditions and advised them to consult their doctors about antiviral medications.

6. Students are still on track to finish out the school year as scheduled.

In Milford, each school has a school nurse and they have been tracking school absenteeism and ILI for five years. When H1N1 cases were confirmed in the U.S., I requested that the ILI and absenteeism reporting efforts be shifted from weekly to daily reports. Thus we were able to detect approximately 20 students with ILI over a
24-hour period. This was the only school in Milford with an ILI outbreak. Partial school closure may not work everywhere, but should not be dismissed as an option to stem the pandemic.

The battle against H1N1 is far from over. Only thru strong community partnerships can we meet future challenges.

Seven New Swine Flu Cases At Foran High

MILFORD -- Seven new cases of H1N1 swine flu have been confirmed at Joseph A. Foran High School, officials said Tuesday.

But the outbreak seems to be dying down, with only two or three new cases of "flu-like illness'' being reported at the 1,000 student high school on Monday, and with absenteeism stabilizing.

The seven students were part of the first 20 who became ill last week, said Dr. A. Dennis McBride, the city health director. Samples from the students were tested by the Milford health department, which confirmed the diagnosis. All of the ill students are recovering; at least one sought treatment at a hospital as an out-patient, he said.

McBride said that Foran High will remain on a half-day schedule for the remainder of the school year, which ends June 25. The measure, instituted early last week, has been effective in "tamping down'' the spread of the virus by reducing the face-to-face contact among students, he said.

Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr. said local health officials have been proactive in handling the outbreak.

"Hopefully our community can be spared more illness by combining good public policy with common sense precautions by our citizens," he said.

The health director isn't so sure that alone will be enough. Although the end of the school year will likely mean a steep drop-off in flu cases, the virus could recur when the buildings reopen in the fall, he said. None of the other 13 public schools here have seen an outbreak of swine flu.

"The virus is among us and is likely to sporadically reappear or fold into a seasonal variation of [typical] flu,"

McBride said.

Flu Concern Curtails Foran Schedule

MILFORD - Joseph A. Foran High School will begin operating on a half-day schedule Wednesday until further notice as health officials try to minimize the threat of the H1N1 virus.

Officials said the school will start closing at noon to minimize time students spend togehter, after 12 youths in the past three days exhibited flu-like symptoms, which the Milford Health Department is referring to as influenza-like illness.

Affected students have been tested for swine flu, though results take a few days to confirm, said city Health Director Dr. A. Dennis McBride.

If more students become ill, it is possible the school could be shut down for a period of time, officials said, but that decision will be made on a day-by-day basis. Foran parents were notified Tuesday evening about the precautions through the city’s Connect-Ed telephone notification system, Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr. said.

"Though we do not have a confirmed case of H1N1 Influenza A virus at this time, we are implementing these measures proactively to decrease contact among children and to limit the spread of infection. This strategy provides a way to protect the health of the students & staff while minimizing the impact on their education," McBride said.

Foran students will arrive at school Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. and be sent home at noon with no lunch period in an effort to keep large groups of students from congregating and lower the risk of transmitting the flu. The Health Department is not otherwise prohibiting use of the school building, McBride said.

Richetelli said officials hope the school will return to the normal full-day schedule next week, though it could happen as early as this week.

Richetelli said parents should visit Milford’s public school Web site, www.milforded.org for more information and another automated phone call regarding the schedule might go out.

Richetelli and McBride said there haven’t been reports at any other Milford schools of students with flu-like symptoms to cause concern or increased numbers of student absences.

School officials will ramp up cleaning the school."The mitigation strategy recommended by Dr. McBride is based on sound public health practice without hindering our education mission," said Superintendent of Schools

Harvey B. Polansky, in a prepared statement "The implementation of this strategy is necessary to decrease contact among our children thereby limiting the spread of infection."

Officials also advise parents to assume that the virus is present in the community and said anyone with underlying health conditions such as asthma or diabetes should take extra precaution and be monitored by a doctor.

Foran’s senior awards ceremony that had been scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday also is postponed.
