Norwegian government purchase of 9 million doses of Pandemrix.

the Norwegian government has bought 9 million doses of Pandemrix.

The official Norwegian governmental page states that Pandemrix contains:

inactivated influenzavirus (new H1N1) produced i eggs from hen (3.8 μg virusantigenes (hemagglutinin) per dose)

The Vaccine contains "aduvans" which "enhances" the immune response, the aduvance contains:

10.7 mg squalene (forbidden in the US, linked to Gulf war syndrome ilnesses) (claimed to be natural oil extracted from sharkliver).
11.9 mg a-tokoferol (vitamin E)
Emulgator (polysorbat 80)
The vaccine also contains the mercury compound Thimerosal

Link to WHO on squalene http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/topics/adjuvants/squalene/questions_and_answers/en/

This whole page needs to be carefully edited, to keep it neutral and factual. There are lots of misinformation and half informations floating around, which can lead to a general misunderstanding. Its a vaccine, its going to have good and bad sides. 193.62.203.214 (talk) 14:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pandemrix Squalene adjuvants are used to induce arthritis in rats

From http://wn.com/reactive_arthritis search for: Mass Vax Begins In Quebec Last updated/9.Juli.2012

Massive media campaign is being launched to 'seduce' people into voluntarily receiving the H1N1 shot at mass vaccination sites which intend to vaccinate 75000 people per day, with a goal of giving 75% of the population the shot. We are to receive cards in the mail telling us when, according to our age and health status, it is our turn to present ourselves at these mass vax sites to receive our shots. The Canadaian vaccine, manufactured by GSK, is Pandemrix,which contains the dangerous adjuvant, squalene, as well as thimerosal (mercury). The media is outright lying to the public about the presence of these ingredients and the dangers posed by them. In July of this year, the Quebec government passed a law allowing themto forcibly vaccinate people under a 'public health emergency'. While the vaccine is voluntary at this time,it remains to be seen whether these powers will eventually be enacted against the refusers. pandemrix et ingredients (document de GSK) www.emea.europa.eu Squalene lie au Gulf War Syndrome: Squalene adjuvants are used to induce arthritis in rats.

Side effects: arthritis and rheumatic diseases !? Can someone look and verify from that very book?Jack007 (talk) 19:23, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In Finland there is 140 narcolepsy cases, beacuse of pandemrix, and in Sweden over 250. Numbers are rising still 2012. The usage of pandemrix in age group under 20 was in these two countries half of the total usage. And therefore there will not be so many cases elsewhere. The HLA risk type is about 28% in Nordic countries and about half in midlle Europe. On the other hand for example if Germany had vaccinated 20 milj. children (under20) they would have over 1000 cases of narcolepsy. Sadly the international authorities have said that Finnish authorities should keep the problem to themselves and not translate studies to english.

Genetic predisposition and adjuvant/booster: not sufficiently discussed

In the (serious) press there seems to be more certainty about the effects of the adjuvant/booster, and the possible genetic predisposition is another topic not touched upon here. Arminden (talk) 11:12, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
