NEW Study: H1N1 Flu Vaccine Dangerous for Patients with Autoimmune Disease
This was posted on Reuters on Wednesday but I haven't seen anything else on it since:
UPDATE 1-Swiss warn on flu vaccine with autoimmune disease
* Says autoimmune patients should not take Novartis vaccine
* Regulator says could lead to intensifying of disease
Wonder why it is only Novartis? Do doctors use other drug companies or is Novartis the primary one for H1N1 vaccine? If others, have they been proven safe? I'll have to check it out. I will post more info. as I hear it. Let me know if anyone reading knows. This is very important for us to clarify.

Switzerland's medical regulator recommended patients with serious autoimmune diseases should not use an H1N1 flu vaccine from Novartis (NOVN.VX) saying there were no studies assessing the inoculation in that segment of the population.
Swissmedic said on Wednesday it could not be ruled out that either or both of the adjuvant -- which can enhance the immune response -- and the antigen, or less active ingredient, could lead to an intensifying of autoimmune diseases.
