My problem with your hypothesis is that there is no medical evidence to support it. Let's be clear: for the two main vaccines which are being recommended, it would be impossible to infect people with the H1N1 virus using this method, as they are not live.

On the nasal live virus, which has only been given to vulnerable people, under the age of 49 in the US; there is no evidence whatsoever of transmission of the virus through the vaccine. Rather than provide highly dubious anecdotal stories... why not provide a link to some real evidence. I have backed up my posts with links to credible sources... you are unable to do so.

I don't believe a medically qualified doctor has told you that he has been administering the virus and that a number of his patients have become infected as a result. I don't believe you because this would have had to have been reported to the CDC if it was in the US. The CDC states categorically that there is no evidence whatsoever of transmisson by the vaccine. So either, the CDC is lying or you are. I have drawn my own conclusions, but perhaps we had better leave it to the readers to draw theirs.

Now, following any vaccine, there is a common side effect of very mild "flu" like symptoms. These symptoms are mild and are not due to infection caused by the vaccine.

I am challenging you strongly on these issues because I think these type of myths, rumours and lies can have serious implications on public health. Similar myths were spread around the world about the MMR vaccine. This resulted in millions of parents refusing to allow their children to be vaccinated, as they had heard rumours that it was linked to autism. As a result the largest scale clinical study ever into vaccinations had to be undertaken to investigate the alleged link. No causal link was found.. but in the meantime children with underlying health problems were dying and others were hospitalised with serious complications.
