"Pendemrix, a candidate pandemic (H1N1) swine flu adjuvanted vaccine has received a positive opinion from CHMP (the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) - the vaccine is indicated for protection against pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza (swine flu).

A dose will consist of 3.75ug antigen of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza strain and GSK's proprietary adjuvant system AS03. The course consists of two single doses administered 3 weeks apart.

Jean Stéphenne, President, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals said "This positive opinion means that Pandemrix will now be immediately reviewed for approval by the European Commission which is an important step closer to helping reduce the impact of the pandemic. GSK will continue to work closely with regulators, governments and health authorities around the world so that they can determine the most appropriate strategy to address the H1N1 pandemic."

8. It's your claim.

You prove it.

That's basic.

You've offered up one individual's repeat of this claim.

Is that how you prove something?

Not in my book.

[Why Syzygy]

9. That is why I will never again do research per your demand.

Ain't good enough. :freak:

I'm sticking by it. It is still my claim.

He's an epidemiologist with no ties to monolithic pharma! You can stick with your committee of GSK 'scientists'. I'll go with the independent and my own reasoning ability.

The WHO redefined "pandemic" to fit H1N1 this year.

What does an epidemiologist know?
(The branch of medicine that deals with the study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in populations.)

10. Don't make claims you can't prove.

That's basic.

Rolling your eyes doesn't change any of that.

Grow up.

[Why Syzygy]

11. sigh

I'll do what my membership here allows me to. Post my opinions in a civil manner.

I do not have burden of proof at all. Your type isn't going to believe anything that stretches your preconceived ideas; and I don't waste my time.

Trying to boss me around will net you zero.
