in every drug or vaccine there is a little bit of poison. there’s always risk when one introduces a foreign substance into the body. i’m sure the PTBs are simply trying to get people to come in for the piggy-flu shot. at this stage i suspect if there were any terrible side-effects we will not hear about it for months. i will get the shot due to requirements for a treatment i’m obligated to take. it appears the H1N1’s most detrimental effects are on those from two years old to the ripe old age of twenty-four. of course seniors or those with comprised immune systems must consider getting the vaccine. they call us in by yelling soooey!

Last year 80 or so kids died from flu. Last week 20 did. Get your heads out of the granola and get a flu shot.

Ahrcanum, sorry about the cigarette burn on your arm. I hope it hurts less than the sores on your legs from the braces you’d have to wear if you had POLIO (a disease that was eradicated because of a vaccine) By the way, you might be safe from flu because of the booster shot you got in 1957 from the last swine flu pandemic. the N1 part of this bug is almost the same. That’s why older people aren’t getting sick as much as children this time.

lol on omgsuperflu! lol. Public schools get federal funding and have been asked to prepare for months to become vaccination centers. I recall rolling up my sleeve in the hallway years ago for polio, and still have the mark on my arm from the beasts.

The whole swine flu thing is ridiculous.
People have been sick, neighbors, coworkers; it makes no difference whether it’s the common flu or this “omgsuperflu”, people will be afraid because of how we subconsciously react to media. You’d think schools would be giving resistance training against being manipulated.

You might be interested in the number of related H1N1 Swine flu lawsuits being filed.

Our family doctor just told me the other day not to even worry about the vaccine and that they would not even be carrying it. Huh. Well, I am remained undecided on this issue and it really seems like a 50/50 divide on it. I am happy that at least we are taking our Vidazorb chewable probiotics every single day to really give our bodies an immune boost!

People are scared of getting the virus, people are scared to get vaccinated.

China banned pork products from being imported because the AP calls H1N1 swine flu. There’s idiocy everywhere you look related to this flu strain – nothing new…

Ok, I have to admit I think the crop duster idea is kind of funny. Don’t know if it was intended to be or not, but anyway…

I’m just a bit confused. I thought that this first batch of vaccines was the nasal spray and it was said that the nasal spray hasn’t been approved for children under 2, pregnant women, and people over 49. On the news yesterday (just glanced at the tv and saw this, so I’m not sure what the whole report was about) I saw some babies and toddlers being given the nasal spray. Maybe I missed the announcement of it’s approval.

As far as limited supplies go, I’m doing my part and leaving one more vaccine for the rest of you. (ok, for those of you who don’t realize it, I’m joking around). I work in a tiny office and don’t have contact with anyone there, I live in the middle of nowhere, and I have a pretty strong immune system. I’m not too worried about getting the flu, and if I do, well for a week or so this website will have one less jaded pessimist to contend with. You’re welcome!

I say fly over cities with a crop duster and spray us all down with the vaccine. Typhoid Mary didn’t feel like going along with the program either..

I would expect that a doctor would advise a patient at the time of administering any vaccine of any risk, based upon the patient. For example, I would expect they would have reservations with extremely young children or older more fragile people …

It’s REALLY pissing me off that the Doctors are saying that there’s “no risk” associated with taking this vaccine. It’s JUST simply not true. There is ALWAYS a slight risk associated with any vaccine. Some people are going to *die* because of taking this. It’s “statistical compassion” – many, many more lives will be saved compared to if no one had received it. But – some will die from the vaccine itself. That’s just the way it works when vaccines are given to large numbers of people. For each individual, the risk is negligible, and in my opinion they’re far better off if they get the vaccine. But for the doctors to lie and say there’s “no” risk is irresponsible and unethical. People have a right to have *all* the information and to make this decision themselves.
