NorthernVike 2,080 Posted September 22, 2009 Personally I'm going to pass on the shot. Don't trust the sh1t with the speed they tried to push it through. Also on the news last night they said that the virus was mutating and it may not help. I predict that it will kill more people than it will save. What say you? Also, are you going to let your kids get the shot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocolts 300 Posted September 22, 2009 I was reading something yesterday about this sh1t. How the senior citizens are LAST in line to get this. To think that they think we are so focking stupid to buy this bullsh1t. These psychos even said "Researchers believe seniors have a partial immunity to swine flu because of exposure to similar viruses in their lifetimes." What a load of crap. The writing is on the wall with this. We keep hearing how this health-care reform is not a war on seniors from the liberal media and the current administration. Yeah focking right.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted September 23, 2009 Haven't had the flu in 2 decades, never get flu shots, BUT...now that I actually work in a hospital (respiratory therapist) I'm thinking the H1N1 vaccine is probably a good idea (assuming the hospital doesn't make it compulsory anyway).

naomi 350 Posted September 24, 2009 This is a really thought altogether, but the chances of the strain of human, avian and swine flus that H1N1 is combined naturally is really slim. Ground zero was a U.S. operated pig farm in Mexico. There are people with money and influence that deeply believe in the cause of population reduction. It just seems really possible that it was engineered and released there. The tinfoil hat part is that the vaccine itself may be most unsafe. Unless this strain was supposed to mutate in a fair amount of time and be more deadly than it is, either this was a warm up run as far as releasing a pandemic or the vaccine isn't safe. Lean towards the former but would rather skip the vaccine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,410 Posted September 24, 2009 I don't plan to get it. I ran into a middle school kid I know yesterday who said he had it, got it from his sister who is in HS where 148 kids have missed time because of it. He had a high fever for a day or two, sounded like... flu. I've had the flu maybe 3 times in the past 20 years, it sucks when you get it. But I don't expect to die from it. Also they are prioritizing infants and seniors here in AZ; even if I wanted it, I doubt I'd make the cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted September 25, 2009 I'm not worried about dealing with flu symptoms (sucks, sure, but nothing that will kill me), more a matter of the risk of getting it and passing it on to that 94 year old congestive heart failure patient I'm treating...I generally prefer not to kill my patients.

A few comments: - I don't personally think that everyone is going to start dying. There was a large outbreak at a private HS here in Phoenix. A few sibs got it as a result. Nobody died to my knowledge. - I'm mostly concerned that this will be a "crying wolf" situation again, and that people will ignore it when the real problem occurs. - Congrats on the neonatal part.

GobbleDog 822 Posted October 2, 2009 I've never understood why anyone gets a flu shot aside from 80+ year olds. The flu? A few days out of the year with a runny nose and a fever? What's the big deal??? I don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is a load of crap and blown out of proportion to protect those who were/are aware of the outcome/worse case scenerio. Although, I get sick with the flu every year, so it would be my luck to be one of the fatal cases, so rather not argue. Thanks! We are very excited. Think this is the first time I've came on here since right after our wedding, but yes we are expecting, I'm around 12 weeks. I'm bored and at home, so will check in a little more frequently.
