Swine Flu/H1N1 Vaccination - Yes or No?

[leducreef]

so it looks like about 38% of you have or are geting the shot
and the rest of us are not.! wow thats got to say something right there.
i have made up my mind after seeing that , i am not going to get it !
i think in this world there is a far better chance of dying from something else, than h1n1 !

if only every one could learn to wash there hands after thay take a ****, none of this crap would be around

The next time somebody asks me why I think representative democracy is flawed I'm just going to send them a link to this thread, draw your own conclusions.

Either you don't understand what the word respiratory means or we have very dissimilar anatomy.

I know the media got pretty bored with blowing it all out of proportion huh? What have they moved onto? I haven't been watching the news lately.

All I know is that damn shot makes you feel like **** for 2 days after. If that's a little taste of the H1N1 virus I'd hate to see what the full blown version would feel like.

Must be a slow news day. When you delve a little deeper into this over-hyped news story this is what you find:

According to the Associated Press, in the batch that was recalled, there were just 6 cases of severe allergic reaction out of 170,000 doses. However, they expected there to only be about one or two from a batch that size, so they asked doctors to stop using them. A spokesman for Canada's health minister says there doesn't appear to be a major cause for alarm. He says the reports may be a statistical anomaly.

I love it when the news bastardizes something like this to drum up readership/viewership and then facilitates the uninformed to run with the story and gets plastered all over the internet. The article is intentionally ambiguous with its brevity. More fear mongering for more sales - it's grrrrrrrreat!

Doctors are trained and raised by bigfarma, medical magazines and media are controlled by them as well, they make money when people are sick, when people are healthy they make nothing.

Follow the money and learn the truth...

So, who wants a toxic mix in the blood stream?
Or a synthetic drug to treat (not cure) all you problems ?

Aspirin kills 400% more people than H1N1 swine flu.

The July 1998 issue of The American Journal of Medicine explains it as follows:

"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone." (Singh Gurkirpal, MD, “Recent Considerations in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Gastropathy”, The American Journal of Medicine, July 27, 1998, p. 31S)

So for every person the CDC claims was killed by H1N1 swine flu this year, common painkillers like aspirin have killed four! Yet you don't see the CDC, FDA, WHO or mainstream media running around screaming about the extreme dangers of aspirin, do you? All those deaths apparently don't matter. Only swine flu deaths lead to hysteria.

I dont really buy in to the 'swine flu hype', and I thought the media really blew it out of proportion. I rarely get sick(less than anually), and if I do, its just my body shutting down cause I have been eating poorly and not getting enough sleep for extended periods. I havent had a vaccination for 15 years.

My father heard about the deaths of younger (15-25 year old) males who were completely healthy without any medical conditions. I fit right into the middle of this category. He got pretty cheesed when he found out I didnt want to get the shot, and hounded me for awhile about it. School was lagging (I didnt put nearly as much effort into it as I should have for the first month and a half), and knowing H1N1 was pretty bad (you are barred from comming to school for a week+ if you get it, time I could not afford to miss), I then decided to get the shot. I actually managed to get it on the first day it was offered in my area, before they ran out (actually about 30 mins before they started turning people away).

I havent really seen many people sick lately... and getting the shot wasted about 3 hrs of my time (even though i was there early). Oh well, I guess it was better safe than sorry, I really just didnt want to risk missing 1wk + of school.

The only side effect, for me, from the shot, was a sore shoulder for a couple days (pretty sore actually). One 3 or 4 year old at the clinic i went to had an allergic reaction to the shot. Aside from that, no issues.

Also important to note (cause some people dont realise this): Even if you are vaccinated, and 'immune' to the virus, you can still be a carrier.

Cheers,
