Suspected Narcolepsy Cases and Swine Flu Jab, Linked
Suspected Narcolepsy Cases and Swine Flu Jab, Linked

An investigation has been prompted following health officers’ discovery in Finland, who made an announcement that they were shelving off the vaccination program because of suspected reports of narcolepsy in some people, who had been injected with the vaccine.

Up to now, there have been 27 reports of the alleged narcolepsy in individuals all across the European region, who earlier had been jabbed with Pandemrix, which is the swine flu vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.

The reason, which tells how narcolepsy stems, has yet not been known.

It can prove to be fatal, if the victims of the condition fall asleep while they are driving or operating machinery.

It is perceived that there are 25,000 people living with the condition in Britain, however, specialists have made an estimation that 80% of the patients are yet undetected.

Once a person is diagnosed with the condition, he is not permitted to drive and the agony is that there is no cure of this long-term condition.

The inquiry will examine if Pandemrix was the possible link to have triggered the condition or if it was just a matter of coincidence.

Another ten cases have sprung up in Sweden, six in France and one in Germany as well as Norway.
