WHO Rules Out Swine Flu Vaccine as Rumored Cause of Death of 41 People

The World Health Organization unveiled earlier today that the deaths of 41 people who have passed away that received flu shots did not die as a direct result of the H1N1 flu vaccine. The announcement was made by World Health Organization Vaccines Chief Marie-Paule Kieny, who clarified that there are still further deaths that are currently being investigates amongst those who have passed away that received swine flu vaccines.

The number of deaths that are left to be investigated were not specified by the World Health Organization but they did mention that the 41 people that have been researched came from six different countries, according to MSNBC.com. Health experts have come forward to support the results from the investigation by stating that the H1N1 flu vaccine was made the same exact way that traditional flu vaccines are created for the winter season.

Kieny revealed the symptoms of those who suffer from side effects as a result of the vaccine, saying, "What we do see is a variety of local reactions, such as pain at the injection site, swelling, redness and reactions such as fever, headache, muscle pain or fatigue. Such reactions, which are common after flu shots, usually disappear after a day or two."

The W.H.O.'s Vaccine Chief also clarified that just one person out of 10,000 doses that are administered experiences the aforementioned reaction and that just five out of 100 reactions are legitimately serious, according to MSNBC.com.
