![]() | H1N1 Vaccine... are you getting one?
Call me a tin foil hat wearer... But I'm kinda worried about what they have put in this so called vaccine. I've never gotten a flu shot and have always been just fine. But the way they are playing this swine flu thing up in the media gives a cause of concern. I personally don't want to get one. But then I feel like maybe I should. Iunno Are u getting one? And what are your thoughts?

I am, but only because the military requires it. I've never been one for the classic flu shot, as it's just a guess at what strain of flu will go around that year and may be completely worthless. At least with the H1N1 vaccine it's targeted to a known threat, but I rely on the strength of my immune system and that has done me just fine so far.

no. the swine flu isn't even bad. i work at a hospital and we all get a kick out of how people freak out about it. if you're from 6-17 yrs old, then you might want to, because that's the age it's affecting (killing) the most. |

yup... it's free at work ... i'll be signed up for all of those flu shots... if you haven't ever had the flu, then I can see why you would pass on it. Once you, your SO or especially your kids have had it, you may take any opportunity to avoid getting it again.

With the early reports showing that people who have received a flu shot are 2/3's more likely to contract H1N1 I think Im going to be sitting this one out. Well that and having a great aunt who has been paralyzed since the 1970's as a direct result of the last swine flu vaccine that the government handed out.

And yes, out of 40 million doses in the 70's, there were several hundred cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome but the vaccines have improved in the last 30 years. All of medicine has...

Canada reported this in a unpublished paper and no other countries have been able to come to the same conclusion. In addition, it shows they are claiming people that got the flu shot last year showed this increased infection rate... Until the CDC or some other countries show this same information I would take this with a grain of salt... http://abcnews.go.com/Health/SwineFl...ory?id=8676187

Chances of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine 1/3,500,000. Chances of having an adverse reaction to not getting the vaccine 0 So why bother even taking the risk of getting the shot when 99% of people get over the swine flu in less than 3 days with nothing more than a sore throat and a afternoon of feaver?

I'll go out on a limb and guess that you don't have kids since it appears your only concern on vaccination is yourself. 1 / 3,500,000 odds don't scare me much. But I never win the lottery either.

![]() | Re: H1N1 Vaccine... are you getting one? the flu itself doesn't kill you moron. kids that age will easily get pneumonia after the swine flu, and that's what kills them. not the H1N1 itself.
