 A
new scientific poll has found that a whopping 72% of parents
in America have reservations over the safety of the H1N1 vaccine.
Results of the Associated
Press-GfK poll reveal that more than one third
(38%) will refuse to get their children vaccinated in clinics
or at schools because they feel the vaccine is too new and too
untested.
While some parents said they oppose the vaccine
because swine flu doesn't amount to any greater health threat
than seasonal flu, others cited concerns that flu vaccinations
are known to cause the paralyzing nerve condition Guillain-Barre
syndrome.
Some also voiced worries over the mercury-based
preservative
thimerosal, which has been used in around 60% of
the 225 million swine flu doses ordered for Americans.
Some scientists have testified that the preservative
can cause brain disorders such as autism.
Some autism watchdogs share the concerns over
the H1N1 vaccine, and have said that the hype surrounding the
virus is unnecessary.
"We're flipping out over swine flu, but it's only affected
a few thousand people. Why isn't somebody freaking out about
the autism epidemic?" Wendy Fournier, president of the
National Autism Association told the
AP.
The AP-GfK poll was based on a nationally representative
sample of 1,003 adults age 18 or older.
Other recent polls have revealed a similar trend
with only
one third of adults saying they trust the safety
of the vaccine, and two
thirds of parents saying they would either refuse
the vaccine outright or wait for more information before considering
vaccinating their children.
