A 64-year-old woman died last week just two days after receiving an inoculation against the new A(H1N1) influenza virus dubbed swine flu. The state medical service ÁNTSZ ordered an autopsy to establish whether there was any link between the vaccine and the death of the patient, who suffered from chronic, but mild, heart disease.
New fatality
Last week also saw Hungary’s fourth fatality attributed to A(H1N1) infection. A 47-year-old man who died in hospital was found to have been infected with the virus, health minister Tamás Székely told reporters last Thursday. The patient was being treated for pneumonia.
Hungary’s chief medical officer Ferenc Falus addressed a parliamentary Health Committee last Wednesday and urged Hungarians to get themselves vaccinated as quickly as possible. Falus had himself inoculated in front of reporters in a bid to quell public fears over the safety of the vaccine. The previous week, the manufacturer of Hungary’s A(H1N1) vaccine, Omninvest, had threatened to sue media for “scaremongering” by suggesting the vaccine could be ineffective or dangerous.
Winter epidemic possible
Meanwhile, the ÁNTSZ warned that infection could reach epidemic proportions by early next year following the onset of winter weather. Fewer than 300 cases of A(H1N1) infection have been confirmed in Hungary since the virus was first detected in humans. However, the week before last, some 16,000 cases of influenza were registered nationwide, and it is likely that a good deal, if not most, of these are down to the new variant virus.
Hungary's new flu vaccine not suitable for children, pregnant women, says health advisor
The vaccine against the new flu virus is not suitable for small children and pregnant women, a member of Hungary's Collegium for Infectology, an advisor to the Health Ministry, said in a television programme on TV2 on Sunday evening.
Pregnant women should instead be treated with antiviral products, of which there is not enough in the country, Andras Szalka said.
The Health Ministry responded that it had not to date received a statement from the Collegium to this effect, however, it added that Chief Medical Officer Ferenc Falus has called a meeting of the pandemic committee for Monday, where this matter would be discussed.
The fourth patient died in Hungary on Thursday associated with the new flu A/H1N1 virus. The virus had been revealed in 283 cases since it appeared in Hungary in May

Ya se que este no es lugar para este comentario, pero Jorge del Oraculo de Occidente me recomendo tu blog, por si pudieraís dar algún tipo de información sobre la noticia publicada sobre el extraño suicido de un experto ingeniero de 47 años, encargado de temas de control de pruebas atómicas no autorizadas, la verdad es que tal como esta el patio, cualquier noticia de este tipo, se puede perder en la maraña de Internet... Seguramente no sea nada, pero por si acaso me gustaría saber si podeís investigar el caso...

ya me espero cualquier cosa...suma y sigue
Pues la noticia huele bastante mal , pero es muy complicado seguirla el rastro , puesto que no da el nombre ni las iniciales del ingeniero que supuestamente se ha "suicidado" , sólo dice que es un experto nuclear británico que , eso sí aquí viene lo sospechoso , trabajaba para la comisión preparatoria del Tratado de Prohibición Completa de los Ensayos Nucleares, encargada de detectar las pruebas nucleares clandestinas.
Probablemente tenga que ver con Irán , y con el tinglado que la ONU quiere montar allí. YA sabemos todos que necesitan inventarse "informaciones" como pretexto de atacar un País.
Gracias por ponerme en alerta , estaré atento de posibles noticias sobre este tema.
Un saludo
