Media organizations in the United States, including the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper and TV channel WFAA in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, have raised once more a concern regarding the swine flu vaccination program, considering some harmful effects that were associated with the 1976 swine flu vaccine.

Public opinion polls in the US and elsewhere have shown significant reservations regarding the risks of the untested vaccine. With effectiveness levels known to be weaker in children, who are also proving to be vulnerable to serious illness with the swine flu, the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has begun a study on 1,000 young persons to monitor any adverse side effects of two vaccines ahead of their national release.

Meanwhile, in at least 190 countries and territories, over 4,432 people have perished due to the swine flu pandemic. Some of the most recent deaths were recorded in Âu Lạc (Vietnam), Bahrain, and India, the latter of which has been reporting officially over 5 fatalities on a daily basis. India’s death toll climbed to 344, with fatalities in Argentina now numbering 540. In the United States, 936 people have lost their lives to the swine flu, while the human cost in Brazil is at least 899 deaths.

The relentless rise in losses to the swine flu is staggering, and makes our need for a lasting solution all the more urgent.For the sake of ourselves and loved ones, let us all consider the healthy approach to such costly viral epidemics, namely the strongly preventive measureof the organic vegan diet.
