Urgent Lawsuit Filed Against FDA To Halt Swine Flu Vaccines; Claims FDA Violated Federal Law!!!

Health freedom attorney Jim Turner is filing a lawsuit in Washington D.C. mid-day Friday in an urgent effort to halt the distribution of the swine flu vaccine in America. On behalf of plaintiffs Dr. Gary Null and other licensed health care workers of New York State, the lawsuit charges that the FDA violated the law in its hasty approval of four swine flu vaccines by failing to scientifically determine neither the safety nor efficacy of the vaccines.

“The suit will seek an injunction against the FDA from approving the vaccine,” attorney Jim Turner told NaturalNews on Thursday evening’s Natural News Talk Hour show. “And the core of the argument is that they have not done the proper safety and efficacy tests on the vaccine to allow it to be release at this time.”

The suit seeks to not only nullify the FDA’s unlawful “approval” of the four H1N1 influenza vaccines, but to also ask the court to issue an injunction that would halt any mandatory vaccination requirements.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Source Of ‘mockery’

Pundits believe that after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, US President Barack Obama is now open to criticism and even mockery, should he fail to deliver his promises. Paul Rogers, Professor of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford in Britain, yet argues that the “unusual” decision by the Nobel Committee is going to encourage Obama to complete an unfinished process.

“It is certainly a surprise (but) the Nobel Peace is quite often awarded for what you might call process, things under way, rather than completed achievements.” “We remember the prize being awarded to Nelson Mandela and Frederik De Klerk in the early nineties, before apartheid had ended,” he told AFP on Friday. Nevertheless, “there is certainly a risk that this could backfire. I would expect there to be very strong opposition to this decision in Republican circles in the United States,” the British university professor reiterated.

‘End Dollar Supremacy’

The United Nations called on Tuesday for a new global reserve currency to end dollar supremacy which has allowed the United States the ‘privilege’ of building a huge trade deficit.

Speaking at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Istanbul, he said: ‘It is timely to emphasise that such a system also creates a more equitable method of sharing the seigniorage derived from providing global liquidity.

Inhaler May Up Asthma Risk

A common asthma reliever drug may increase the risk of asthma attacks in some sufferers, British scientists said on Tuesday.

The researchers found that salbutamol, a popular inhaler medicine, as well as salmeterol, an ingredient in GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair asthma product, are less effective in children with a specific gene variant and may worsen the health of some patients.

‘This is a global question that needs to be addressed,’ Professor Somnath Mukhopadhyay from Brighton and Sussex Medical School told Reuters.
