I have not had any adverse reactions. Please pray for me that I will not either. I can assure you that will be my last injection. (I have 8 discs out~4back, 4neck) I would like to ask your prayers for that as well. I do not want to have another back surgery, as I had one about 15 or so years ago. I am starting to lose options, but NEVER do I lose faith! Quoting: WishinForTheMission This had to be PLACED in that certain steroid medication on purpose! PRAYING |

People should refuse any vacinations that are being pushed. The recent bird flu and other such "illnesses" were part of this policy and we are in the unfortunate position now in the world that we can't trust our Health professionals, Drug companies etc anymore to provide a healthcare programme. There are crises created and then the "solutions" are what they want us to think of as the solution but in effect it is their way of foisting such things on us a poisonous vacinations. [googlevid] |

At least 737 people who received lumbar epidural steroid injections between July 30 and Sept. 20 have been notified of the cluster of rare aspergillus meningitis infections Quoting: Goofy for God [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] So far, five people have died in this outbreak. Thirty are ill. Kentucky, right now, is lucky enough not to have any cases in the state. But from what WKYT is learning, the company that made the medications is licensed in all 50 states. There is a possibility we could soon find out about more infections. Quoting: [link to www.wkyt.com] How in the hell does a fungus found in soil and fecal matter make its way into a fucking vaccine? Sounds fishy. I dont know but I am beginning to wonder if we arent under an attack.Everything from West Nile to whooping cough to flesh eating,etc seems to be on steroids this year.Now this fungus from a steroid shot that has not reasonable way possible that it should be in an injection to start with. This has been happening for decades. Notice the chemical poisoned foods, GMO's, tainted water, greyed out skies. This latest round of disease and infections is just another cycle to scare us and cause us to worry daily. They do this all the time and they have been for years. A few people are starting to ask questions, which is a good thing. Problem is most don't notice. They are too worried in making that fake colorful talisman. Peace Amy |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24940247 United Kingdom 10/05/2012 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness, which includes meningococcal meningitis (an infection of the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (blood poisoning). Meningitis can cause the meninges, or membranes around the brain or spinal cord, to get dangerously inflamed, potentially causing brain damage. Septicemia involves a rapid spread of disease toxins throughout the bloodstream, resulting in dangerously low blood pressure and multiple organ failure.1-4 Together, they create a deadly, quickly worsening disease that may be hard to diagnose, especially in its early stages.2,3 Meningococcal disease can take the life of an otherwise healthy child in 24 hours.6,7 |

Only bad thing is I believe this shot is mostly for kids, teens and college aged people. I'm 53 and I don't recall ever getting one, I haven't had any shots for the last 13 years except for a nasal pneumonia inoculation mist (lasts 5 years). |

Read more: [link to old.post-gazette.com] This is very scary stuff, that we live in a healthcare system that this is allowed It's not 'healthcare' any more only deathcare..you would truly not believe what's happening that people aren't even aware of. The short versions: One man had that bacteria infection.He was in the hospital with it, the new policies for 0bamacare kicked in, he could only stay in the hospital for so many days, they sent him home, now he going to lose his leg. One teenage girl got this freak stuff, it's all over her face now, been fighting it for months.. My own mother (father also but her's is worse right now), has had some sort of rash since after the BP spill, (zone one) they can't figure out what it is, so they're claiming,(many different doctors) they kept on a on insisting she had a bone marrow test.. I highly objected to it.. Did everything i could to even begged, shouted, and had a fit, all to no avail... well they gave her one.. week ago, last Saturday she started hurting, big knot came up around the site area, She started running real high temp. we took her to the hospital they gave her an iv. Next day the Dr. who did the B/M test wanted to see her, she took a blood sample,(one at the hospital showed nothing) they called her yesterday an said she now has some sort of a bacteria blood infection, they don't even know what it is yet..She got that from the bone marrow test. My mother just called, as im writing this up, my niece who is 5 years old has come down with shingles, she had the chicken pox shot, Don't tell me its not better for those kids to go ahead an have the real chicken pox, never heard of a child with shingles, and it only gets worse, another little girl, my sister-in-laws niece, has been having a problem almost a year now,first claimed it was some sort of unknown bacteria in her bones, they told her yesterday the child could either have leukemia or some sort of bone cancer, she's 9 years old. They are killing us off by slow an painful murders.. Believe this is happening all over the country, 0bamacare is nothing but Deathcare. If the poisons don't kill them the 'curing' will.. This is kinda off topic.. excuse me, just needed to vent.. feel so powerless about all this. Last Edited by ceawaves on 10/06/2012 10:37 AM |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6206126 United States 10/06/2012 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We have a case in Kentucky now but they are saying the lady didnt have the shots.Since its the same type wonder how she contacted it. Kentucky woman diagnosed with Fungal Meningitis LEXINGTON, Ky. (WYMT) - What started as a bad headache one month ago, led to something much more serious for a young Kentucky woman. It wasn't until her daughter suffered a stroke did doctors refer her to UK Hospital. Where on the first day, doctors tested, then diagnosed her with Fungal Meningitis. "They have done a marvelous job here, but sadly, they said the damage was already done," she said. "They told me to be hopeful, but it's unlikely my daughter will pull through." According to the Center for Disease Control Fungal Meningitis is not transmitted from person to person. People at risk acquire the infection usually by inhaling fungal spores from the environment. It is found primarily in soil or bird/bat droppings in the Midwestern United States, although it can be seen in other places. People with certain medical conditions like diabetes, cancer, or HIV are at higher risk of infection. WYMT wants our viewers to know (Tabatha's) case is not related to the Fungal Meningitis scare stemming from steroid shots in neighboring states. [link to www.wkyt.com] |
