The vaccine appals the Algerians more than the swine flu does

Though it killed dozens and spread panic among the population, the H1N1 pandemic grew to become almost “banal” and some even doubted its very existence amid growing fear over the dangerousness of the vaccine “ Aribanrex”, though considered as one o the most efficient by officials.

• Al kettar hospital, upper Algiers, receives dozens of patients a day who rush to carry out analysis in order see whether they are affected by virus or not. We are stunned to notice the absence of protection’s masks to prevent the spread of the pandemic.
• “Moliere A” pavilion… mission impossible.
• Two weeks after the kick off of the vaccination campaign in Algeria, I have succeeded to “infiltrate” into “Moliere” pavilion, specialized in the diagnosis of the disease, with the help of a nurse who provided me with gloves and masks asking me to appear sick in order to get checked.
• The doctor started consulting me after forwarding a form to fill in which I had to answer to several question in details even on that related to my private life. She made a conclusion that I wasn’t affected by the virus but a seasonal flu for which she prescribed the usual treatment including vitamins.
• I took this opportunity to “crawl” inside the patients’ room where we found three people affected by the virus including a Thirty year old man. While we were trying to approach him, one of the doctors ordered us to leave on account that the place was expressly to the medical staff.
• We are not afraid of swine flu… we don’t vaccinate  
• The striking thing is that two weeks after the launch of the vaccination campaign against swine flu, the vaccination department at the hospital was curiously empty because of a large scale boycott expressed by the medical personnel at all levels, especially after the tragic death of doctor few days ago following her vaccination against H1N1.
