Die baby, DIE!!

Don't get the vaccine. Please don't do it. Most of you Southern "Christians" put your faith in the LORD. He sees all, he knows all, he will take care of ALL your needs. Well, sorry to say, but you gonna Die BABY, Die! There is nothing more PATHETIC than an informed public that refuses to take action. Follow Rash Limpball, Hagnitty, O'Raglly, & Beck to their GRAVES. Good Riddance Y'ALL.


why are the people who are pro-vaccination being a-holes?

I won't get the vaccine, as I never get any flu shots. If I were prone to illness and my body had a hard time fighting things off I might feel differently, but I fought off a lot of colds and flus when I was a kid and never took antibiotics. Now that I'm older, I rarely ever get sick when people around me are. By rarely I mean two flus in the past 8 years and no common colds. I attribute this to a strong immune system that has been built up because I have not beaten viruses with vaccines and antibiotics all of my life. One of the worst flus I ever got was from a vaccine while I was in the navy. I do know that more people die from the vaccine than from the flu, and those aren't the type of odds I wish to gamble on with my life.


old ppl

now, if they wanted (they the guhvment)wanted to off some population, they would not target young people use logic and stop watching faux news. my mom was refused a vac shes 63. we all got one and are fine as i watch those dumbasses around me droppin like flies with the shit. we got the dead shots i aint down with no live virus vac of any kind. get the shot-this flu is dangerous.


That's right pathetic sheep.

That's right pathetic sheep. If big government suggests doing something, than it can't be harmful, right? Look at history. Ask the Validimide children. The Pahrmas are so large they tell the CDC what to do. Your body is made to fight disease...let it do it's job. Doing so will make you stronger and more resisitant. Taking antibiotics like candy is another problem. People are unwittingly destroying their own imune system. Mercury laden meds shot into the blood system? Sounds like a great idea to me. Where is all the autism coming from....any ideas?
Just keep following along blindly, without critical thinking. The last swine flu in this country, 1 person died of the disease...30 sum odd died from the vacination.
Good luck!


DUH!

First off: You mean Thalidomide! Second you mean PHARMAS! Yes, all should take your warning. Maybe if you would have gotten vaccinated you would have the ability to spell better eh? Also, ask John Travolta about the body taking care of itself! The only SHEEP here is you! Your logic is BAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!


Swine Flu

Good!!!!!!!! Don't get vaccinated. Those of you that won't are mostly Republican'ts ...The U.S. will be better off without you.


I am pregnant and wasn't

I am pregnant and wasn't planning to get the vaccine until my family members got the swine flu and I don't want to go through what they are going through. Especially being pregnant and it being harder to fight things off. This is not the same swine flu vaccine as back in the day, but I can understand people's concern and distrust for the drug companies and CDC. Everyone has their own opinion and their right to choose whether or not to get it, so I wish people would stop putting others down for having a different opinion.


Get Sick if you're already sick?

I haven't gotten the swine flu shot, but I'm planning to soon, and I've recently been out sick for a few days with the flu - which I got right after I got my regular flu shot, and at that time I was recovering from a cold. (I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not).
I still feel sort of sick, even though I feel better, and I've gotten back to normal, even though I know the flu is still in me. So, I want to know: If I get the swine flu shot WHILE I STILL FEEL A LITTLE SICK, will I get swine flu?


The INJECTION should be a

The INJECTION should be a dead virus. So you may get some symptoms that should clear up in a day or 2, but it will not cause the flu; however, with a weakened system, you will feel the worse for it.... in my opinion.


Whilst I knock on wood here,

Whilst I knock on wood here, let me say that I am 41 years old and have NEVER taken ANY flu or pneumonia shots in my life. I have not had the flu since before my son was born in 2001. I will NOT be taking the vaccine this year either. Call me stupid if you like, it's ok, you're not important engouth fo me to care what you think.


Dummies

Simple question: Do you want to get sick or do you want to not get sick?

The people who don't want to get the shot are so retarded it's not even funny. People are DYING right now from H1N1. Dying. Just like this poor little boy:

http://www.citytv.com/toronto/citynews/news/local/article/61635--13-year-old-etobicoke-boy-dies-of-h1n1-virus.

Those who don't get the shot may soon follow him but unlike him you had a choice.

Natural selection at it's finest.


DUMMIES

I blame Rash Limpballs for the stance these people take. They are like COWS being taken to get slaughtered. Thats why I watch WDEF!!!!!! FAUX News SUX. WDEF......U Rock!


Flu Shot

I personally will not get this shot, like others have mentioned, I don't trust it, am not going to take the chance. Remember X-Files, "TRUST NOBODY" go and get "marked" and chance on getting sick and die, i think not. Drug corporations already own the USA. Think how your Grandmother would tell you how not to get the flu, just think and don't be stupid.


Not a chance I will get this

Not a chance I will get this vaccine, and I encourage EVERYONE to NOT take it, and if you do, at your own risk...

Typical amount of time and trials for testing the vaccine have not taken place, and to mention a quote from a high ranking official a few months back that was replayed all over the airwaves, "Never waste a good pandemic"...

Need I say more?? Big government, big Pharma...and that's not a NWO person talking, that's seeing the greed in our society...


WOW!... Who said that quote

WOW!... Who said that quote "never waste a good pandemic"?

Why wasn't this aired on more news channels? Whomever the politician or business person this was, would surely have been grilled by the public by now.

During the summer, I also just "overheard" on the news that the vaccine hasn't been tested properly, but that was only that one day, one time I heard it. And I'm glad I did, because scores of uneducated college students (how paradoxical) at my college stood in line for the H1N1 vaccine. This is the obvious ignorance and laziness people have towards finding out about what they're actually going in for... Unbelievable.


It was probably overheard by

It was probably overheard by some IDIOT on FAUX NEWS CHANNEL. You know who! The fearmongerers like Rash Limpballs, Beck and the likes. They live on LIES and so do their followers. Keep watching WDEF if you want some semblance of THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!


The first Swine Flu VAccine

The first time the federal government allowed swine flu shots to be given to the public, which was during the Carter Administration, At least 200 people died and thousands more fell ill from the vaccine Not the actual Flu. Just Say No to Impirical Pharmicutical company's!!!!


H1N1 Vaccine

Good. Let the weakest among us test the vaccine. That will leave more space for the rest of us.


say no to shot

ok this is from the same people or same type of people that provide us with the regular flu shot?? from my understanding, they work on the next years vaccine from the previous years flu strain. they work it up in the lab to see which strain they think will be most prevalent the following year. with plenty of lead time they have gotten it wrong the last few years and now they want us to think the new shot is safe??? with rushed production?? oh and for those who still say this is dead virus, it says plainly on the box for the mist--LIVE. you people need to wake the heck up and turn off the news. it's rotting your brain


I'm from the government, and

I'm from the government, and I'm here to help


If you are in the high risk

If you are in the high risk age group and/or in the high risk health group...then you should get it. Fine, don't get it for yourself but at least protect your children since they're the one's who are at the highest risk.


Vaccine safety

Directly from CDC webpage:
Clinical trials conducted by the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine manufacturers have shown that the new H1N1 vaccine is both safe and effective. The FDA has licensed it. There have been no safety shortcuts.

It is produced exactly the same way the seasonal flu vaccine is produced every year. It is simply a new virus strain. In fact, had H1N1 struck this country earlier than this spring, the H1N1 strain probably would have been included as part of this year’s seasonal flu shot.

Millions of Americans get the seasonal flu vaccine each year without any problems. Still, understanding that some Americans have concerns about “new” vaccines, the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine manufacturers have conducted more rigorous tests on the H1N1 vaccine than they do on other flu vaccines, and there have been no red flags from these clinical trials.

Also, CDC has stepped up surveillance efforts to track the H1N1 vaccine and any possible adverse events. Since it is so closely related to the seasonal flu vaccine, we do not expect to see serious side effects. But we are taking all the necessary steps to promote and monitor safety.

Our top doctors and scientists believe the risk of the flu, especially for pregnant women, children, and people with underlying health conditions, is higher than any risk that might come from the H1N1 vaccine.


Re: Vaccine safety

Sounds a lot like what the CDC said in 1976. The result was more deaths due to complications from the shots than from the swine flu itself.

The first time, shame on you. The second time shame on me.


Not enough testing for me to

Not enough testing for me to risk taking it or giving it to my kids.


What is in the vaccine that

What is in the vaccine that kills the virus? Maybe we should ask ourselves this question. Many vaccines today have acetone(fingernail polish remover, formaldehyde(used in the embalming process) and many other toxic chemicals which can cause cancer and many other autoimmune disorders over time. I think the flu is nothing compared to these other illnesses. I am a healthcare provider and in no way would put this into my body.


You would think that a

You would think that a health care provider would know how this kind of stuff works... even I know how flu vaccines work and I am a math teacher.


Really?

Let me get this straight, you are "a healthcare provider" and your question is "What is in the vaccine that kills the virus?"

Wow.


Flu Shot

David,
It is impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. You can get exposed to the flu bug before you develop full immunity from the vaccine; it takes two weeks to be fully protected. This particular virus is very contagious. The best way to protect yourself from getting the flu is to get the vaccine. I think it's great that you don't want to jump right in because there are 5 target populations that really need the vaccine first.


flu shot

sorry but you are wrong in this instance. Both times I got the flu shot, feeling fine when I got it, I was sick within 2 hours. Out of work for 4 days with the "flu" each time. I don't know what is in this one, so I am not going to chance it. After all...if i get the flu from the regular flu shot, will I get H1N1 from that shot....no thanks....


If everyone got the flu

If everyone got the flu shot, H1N1 would have no chance of becoming a pandemic. You can't get sick from dead virus. People that say that sound so backwoods! This person sounds completely ignorant of epidemiology and modern medicine. Get a clue!


"but you cant get sick from a dead virus"

But you CAN from the flu mist that contains live virus, if you are immuno compromised, run-down... All children getting the mist NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM sick 'Grammy" for 21 days. Look on the insert. They arent publicizing that fact much are they?

And do not fight this flu with Aspirin, you may go into a coma.


Thats a very stupid

Thats a very stupid response. Have you never heard of natural selection?


Dead Virus

Better re-check your facts. The nasal spray is not a dead virus. It is a weakened, but LIVE virus. Excuse me, I'll wait on the injection IF I get it.


Flu Shot

I just do not see the need to jump right in and get the shot, let the children and older adults go first, or those at high risk. I do not think that i need it, i usually do not get flu, if anything, just a sniffle. So you wont see me waiting in line, and pay money to get sick after i get a shot! This just another way for those fat drug company's to get more record profits for a stupid vaccine. we should all know how to keep well.
