One of Germany's most read mainstream newspapers, "Bild", yesterday reported a top doctor's warning about the "swine flu" jab as the revolt against the mass swine flu vaccination campaign accelerates.

On Monday, the German army announced it had changed its vaccination plans and was ordering a new "swine flu" jab, this one without mercury, the adjuvant, squalene, and a live virus, sparking fierce criticism from the German Health Ministry.

On Wednesday, Theodor Windhorst, the president of the doctor's chamber in Westfalen-Lippe, was featured by "Bild" newspaper, saying he would not take the swine flu jab.

He told "Bild", the swine flu jab had "side effects that were too dangerous for me."

Particularly risky, he said, was GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix jab, a vaccine classified as a bioweapon by EU and US regulators.

He said he didn't want to spread "panic" but he was opposed to a "huge field experiment" with millions of people.

Windhorst is just the latest leading doctor in Germany to criticise the "swine flu" jab with virologist Alexander Kekule on Tuesday accusing the government of buying the "wrong vaccines."
