The father of a 26-year-old woman, who says she developed narcolepsy from the Pandemrix swine flu vaccine ten years ago, has said he never expected that an incurable life-long illness could be a side effect of the vaccine.
Counsel for the HSE said there was additional information available about "rare but serious side effects". But he believed the Chief Medical Officer was the expert in this field and if Dr Tony Holohan said the vaccine was safe then it "was safe as far as I was concerned". It was put to him that it was still of significant value to continue to vaccinate and he replied, "that is what we were told".
Last week HSE says ‘that vaccine was safe’ .. this week they put to the parents in the stand ‘you knew the risks’ . Ireland’s the only country that hasn’t settled this. Other jurisdictions have accepted and settled this.. other courts have ruled.. Our HSE victim blames.. again .
