Do you trust the H1N1 flu shot? Are you getting it?

I'm not getting it, because a flu shot just gives me the flu. . .kinda counterproductive.

No, last time they released an untested vaccine more people died from the shot than from the actual flu. I refused both flu shots this year and I work in a hospital environment.

Do I trust it? Are you kidding? Of course I'm getting one.

I'm getting the flu shot, just to feel a bit safer.

I have to get it. I can't get the swine flu. My mom's immunosuppressed (she take drugs to supress her immune system because she's had an organ transplant), and it could be really dangerous if she got it from me.

Not going for it. I live in a home with decent sanitation and heating and I've got a healthy immune system.jimmyjammer69

[QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"] Every single time you comment on my posts, it's with that same flipping emoticon - is everything I say really that funny to you? The flu is a much bigger threat if you live in cold, damp, unsanitary conditions.jimmyjammer69

I'm not getting the flu shot or the H1N1 flu shot. I'll risk it.

I caught the flu right after getting a flu shot and was bedridden for two weeks. . .

Nope. I have H1N1 right now and im recovery just fine. This is all you need to recover

You're welcome.I still want to find the little **** that gave it to me.

I didn't get hives and I have no allergies to eggs.

Either the shot didn't work and I got sick right after taking it (the very same day), or it gave it to me. Either way, I have no incentive to get one.

Not getting it.

i don't really need itin fact chances are i've probably already got it i'm 15 and i have a pretty strong immune system

I'm not going to say I'm some huge conspiracy theorist...but talk from some has been the goverment has tested things on the masses in the past. Do any of you think this is another case? What better way to get people to volunteer, scare them into thinking H1N1 is going to kill us all, and then create a shortage on the supply (to also create a greater demand). People who would normally not get the flu shot are rushing for the H1N1 vaccine. I mean honestly, is this really a huge deal? More people die each year from the regular flu ....whats so dangerous about this one vs the regular strand? At this point I'm unsure if I'll be getting this shot.boostud

Hmm... you know that a vaccine IS the virus itself, right? It is simply attenuated (incapacitated), and some were even reverse engineered (Avian flu vaccine, etc.).

Jeez. Know your stuff.

Probably, sinec I will be in the health care profession

Also h1n1 is very different from regular flu. Where flu targets older and younger people. h1n1 is targeting people 20-40's. Very different, they are also making this a big deal because the media is making a big deal of it. Everyone knows of h1n1 stats, while barely anyone knows of regular flu stats.

Yeah, I'd rather not risk it. If I caught I won't be allowed to enter any of my lectures.

Perhaps. I know how flu shots are made and what they contain - it doesn't frighten me.

I don't need it... I'm invulnerable

I would have no problem getting it. The level of paranoia and distrust is astounding lately.bluezy
